00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Hudd's

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: trend Hawk. That is from the Discord courtesy of Oh

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: courtesy of Kevin keb Bot. Shout out to Cabbot for

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: the short show title from my favorite genre of films

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: as a twelve year old, Bruce Willis movies. What's Hudson

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Hawk about? Though? Hudson Hawk is about Bruce Willis as

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: a cat burglar who times his various exploits his His

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: homie partner in crime from way back is Danny Aella.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: They're like a duo of capt burglars and like they

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: time their operations by singing old standards. So um, they'll

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: be like going through a building that they're trying to

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: sneak through, but like singing to themselves because it was

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: it was just it is. I think the peak of

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Bruce willis that his most you know, like powerful and

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: like able to do whatever he wants. This movie shitty

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: or is good. It's bad, Like it's famously bad, but

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I deeply enjoyed it when I was a young person. Yeah,

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: alright on the list. Alright, Uh well, I am Jack.

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: That is miles Um it is dark Days Row has

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: been overturned by the Supreme Court. And yeah, so that

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: is mainly what people are talking about. It looks like

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: protests is trending. Oh no, I mean Dick's Sporting Goods

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: is trending. Um, because apparently we got to find a

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: pro corporate spin on this. So let's go with here,

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: the corporations who will pay their employees uh to travel

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: to get an abortion. Um. So that's that's one way

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: to big up to this place that. I mean, yeah,

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: probably it's definitely more better than yeah, but yeah, low

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: bar low bar for for corporation to treat people like humans. Yeah,

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean, like just everything, everything that's trending

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: is around people's outrage about people blaming Susan Surrandon, about

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: people blaming earned Like there's all kinds of oh my goodness,

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: the crossfire on big d Twitter and left Twitter. Whoa

34
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people are pointing out there

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: like Nancy Pelosi was just spending like burning her wheels,

36
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: spinning her wheels defending Henry quay Are in Texas, who

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: barely won his primary by like around three votes, and

38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: he's a you know, uh, pro forced birth democrat, and

39
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: we're like, what about what about in the party that's

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: there right now what is happening there. But I mean,

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm curious what the real response is going to be

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: from Democrats because you know, based on my math, they

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: had about a month and twenty days to figure out

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: what the plan is here. Nancy Pelosi had that poem

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: on deck um Joe mansion is what did you say?

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: Was disturbed? I thank her and him and like Susan

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Collins was like, well, that's not what they told me.

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: It's like, no shit, and you're you're so you're such

49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: a fun can rube that you're like, yep, hookline and sinker,

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: got it. Sure they said it, they said it was settled.

51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: One of the first fucking things they went after. And

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just really fucking bleak looking at

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: just everything that's happening with the Supreme Court saying like, well,

54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: states don't have the right to assert like any kind

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: of gun control laws or anything like that. That's that's

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: not their right. But then also but the states can

57
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: decide who can do what with their own body. It's

58
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: just a very very uh bat and like the Miranda

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: rights being like basically like police have total immunity even

60
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: if they don't inform you of your rights and then

61
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: use that to possibly public religious schools, to gut funding

62
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: for public schools. Yeah, we're like they straight up you know,

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: as as lame and outdated as the reference to that

64
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Hulu show is like Handmaid's Tale, like that truly feels

65
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: like they're just like, yeah, no, but that is kind

66
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: of what we hadn't mind. Just fucking upsetting because you know,

67
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: like the people that you've got, people like Nancy Pelosi

68
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: who read a poem right because nobody in Nancy Pelosi's

69
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: family is gonna have trouble getting access to an abortion.

70
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: What about all the people that are struggling with their

71
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: income that are like people of color. There's so like

72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: this really affects a very specific group of people. Unfortunately,

73
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: the representative representation in Congress is of people who know

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 1: not about the urgency of this threat. And if people

75
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: basically don't exist for them, Yeah, it breaks my fucking spirit,

76
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Like it's man anyway. So, UM, one kind of specific

77
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: story that's uh people are pointing out is the period

78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: tracker apps. Period tracking apps like that the data collected

79
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: in those apps could potentially be weaponized by law enforcement.

80
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: UM and that's never happened. Has law enforcement ever weaponized

81
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: your data to to hold you accountable for your getting

82
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: an abortion? Yeah, they actually have, amazingly. Yeah, yeah, that's already.

83
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Um so. A woman in Indiana was sinced to twenty

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: years in prison um for inducing her own abortion. The

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: evidence against her included text messages with her friend, which

86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: you know they have to get access to, which you

87
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: know you would think would be a private thing. A

88
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: woman was indicted by a Mississippi grand jury for second

89
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: degree murder in a case in which prosecutors used her

90
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: search history, including searches for abortion pills, as evidence. Lawmakers

91
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: have been lobbying to make sure tech companies like Google

92
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: amend their data collection policies in order to better protect

93
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: people's information and a post row era. But you know

94
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: that's it's not something that's going to be well covered

95
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: by the corporate media. And yeah, it's just it's this

96
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: is like the dark world that we we live in now.

97
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: It's yea. And now they're fully being like, oh, yeah,

98
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: we'll come after contraception, We'll come after fucking everything. Yeah

99
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: we don't. This is what this is what we're about. Uh,

100
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, and in the chat of saying, you know,

101
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: don't even tell your doctor when your last period was

102
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: because you know it's this is a situation where in

103
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: where you can't even Now you're looking in a situation like, uh,

104
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: you're looking at your life and saying, I can't go

105
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: to a health care professional and be honest about what

106
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: is happening in my body because they might be collaborating

107
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: with law enforcement because I'm in a state that's trying

108
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: to go after people, and they might just create a

109
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: dragnet to find people they suspect of having an abortion. Yeah,

110
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: and with regards to the tech industry, like, there's good

111
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: reason to be skeptical that they will ever change their

112
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: practices to better protect people, since Google is already like

113
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: hugely fucking up in this area. There's a recent study

114
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: that found one in ten Google searches for abortion services

115
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: and trigger states are being misdirected to clinics no as

116
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: pregnancy crisis centers but do not actually provide care and actually,

117
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, provide religious extremism. Seven percent of Google Maps

118
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: searches lead to fake clinics, which is pretty that's that's

119
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot. It sounds like Google's trash just as a

120
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: search engine, not even for what they're doing, but it's

121
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's wild to just watch how

122
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: the full court press of corporations, the government and all

123
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: these things can suddenly put you in a place where

124
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: before it's like, yeah, well, you know, we'll sell your

125
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: information to like another company is trying to figure out

126
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: if you might be in the market for eighteen inch rims.

127
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: But now you know, based on how some of these

128
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: laws can be written, someone might be like, oh, with

129
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: this information, I might be able to be a like

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: an abortion bounty hunter. Yeah. And like there in other countries,

131
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: they there are groups that have power that are looking

132
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: out for consumers and individuals um and that just isn't

133
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: the case, or at least it's not functionally the case

134
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: in the US because so much of the power and

135
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: decision making is tied up in by you know, billionaires

136
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: and corporations. Yeah. Well, we will also put a link

137
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: to like a sort of a guide to different like

138
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: local like state abortion access funds and things like that

139
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: to donate to. If you know, Planned Parenthood is very

140
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: well funded, as many people have pointed out, and there

141
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: are much like many more local organizations to help support

142
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: abortion access like not just here, but also like Guam

143
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and Puerto Rico as well. All right, let's take a

144
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. And

145
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: so monkey pox is continuing to be a story. And actually,

146
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: you know a problem in community is in now the

147
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: US it is not a global pandemic the way that

148
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: people were reporting or fearing it would be at first, um,

149
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: but it is affecting game bisexual men, and the CDC

150
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: is telling people to just go with abstinence. Yeah, it's

151
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: really wild. Like this is in a period where people

152
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: like it's pride, people are yearning for human like contact

153
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: connection and they're like, hey, man, just fucking don't really

154
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, just don't have sex? How about that? Um?

155
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: And it's it's like, really, I don't know, like you

156
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: we're looking at again. Most people are saying, we have

157
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: a smallpox vaccine that's about percent effective, would be really

158
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: fantastic for anybody who is could be exposed to monkey pox.

159
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: And there's a way to roll this out. But we've

160
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: seen anecdotally, like in New York they said, hey, if

161
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: like if you had multiple sexual partners, that we're having

162
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: a in nick for you to get like a smallpox vaccine.

163
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: They that ship filled up so quick and they ran

164
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: out of doses that now people are like, we need

165
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot more doses of this vaccine. And it just

166
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: feels like another moment where you know, it's easy to

167
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: just ignore the like an outbreak of a disease or

168
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: virus because it's in like a marginal community and just

169
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: you know, just keep that moving. But yeah, it is

170
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: another uh, pretty like it's pretty severe issue that we're

171
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: dealing with, and right now the World Health Organization is

172
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: trying to determine if they do declare that this a

173
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: global health emergency, just to increase the awareness around this. Yeah,

174
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: um living wages trending. Stacy Abrams has been tweeting out

175
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: some very questionable shit, uh, specifically saying we need to

176
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: pay police a living wage, which is I don't know,

177
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: that seems like not the problem. She she didn't tweet

178
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: this like this morning, but she tweeted it in the

179
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: past couple of days and it's does not see it

180
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: seem like the issue that that needs to be addressed

181
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: right now in the United States, the tweet, law enforcement

182
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: are often paid less than a living wage and that

183
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: is wrong. We must raise pay for officers and address

184
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: violent crime as we work to build community trust and

185
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: foster law enforcement accountability. Wow, that's big. I'm running for

186
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: governor Energy. You suddenly just almost scratched my damn head off.

187
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what hold on police? The living wage? Do you?

188
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: This is six figure income? Yeah, police make more money

189
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: than fucking most of us do. Like in l A

190
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: there it which is wild. In response to that tweet,

191
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people will reach quote tweeting it with

192
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: like the police officers that had like you know, like

193
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: assaulted them, like by shooting them with a bean bag

194
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: gun or beating them up or something, and then listening

195
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: like and this person makes two all of a year. Yeah,

196
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: it seems like it was a tweet written by the

197
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: police union. Like that was just you know, part of

198
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: the trading that happens with like you know, you get

199
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: to a certain level, you can't be out here talking

200
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: like a cab. Vote for me for governor, you know

201
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, there's there's clearly that line, and

202
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: we're starting to see it when you're and people have

203
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: like try to comb through the tweets and like, is

204
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: this the first time you even use the word living

205
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: wage and it's in relation to the police. I don't

206
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: know that I'm killing two birds with one stone. I'm

207
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: talking about a living wage and I'm you know, and

208
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, I get I can't be you can't be

209
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: surprised by anybody running for like, you know, office that high,

210
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: especially in like not a blue steak because even blue

211
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Steak candidates aren't out here saying ship like you know,

212
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: if anything they do like we we honor our law

213
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: enforcement people or whatever. But this is the party, like

214
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: literally the party line of the uh you know, by

215
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: the administration that we need to like fund both things.

216
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, one of the things is sabotaging

217
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: our ability to have a equal society where people don't

218
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: live in fear of violence, and like that isn't actively

219
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: sabotaging like communities and families, So funding that is actually

220
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: not you can't fund both things because one of those

221
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: things is dismantling like social services and like the goals

222
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: that we're trying to accomplish with the social services and uh,

223
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: one thing is proven to do fuck all right, like

224
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: over and over again. You need to study. I think

225
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: we've had at the studies about a hundred years worth

226
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: of data that says I don't think the police keep

227
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: people safe. So maybe that's the next conversation. But again,

228
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: oh man, overcoming the status quo here in this country

229
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: takes a lot a lot of people. Yep. And finally

230
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: we we have outing with uh some of the l

231
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: A podcast studio to go see Elvis last Night, the

232
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: new baz Lerman movie. The main takeaway from me is

233
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: how weird Tom Hanks's character is. It's very very strange.

234
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: You know the movie. Look if it's you say, you've

235
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: heard us talk about like that one clip, right, and

236
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: that was enough to be like, we gotta see this

237
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: bullshit because it seems so over the top. The clip

238
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: in question is his first performance where he starts like

239
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: making people's brains melt by flicking his penis in their

240
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: direction and the sound effect is wow wow, Well he's well,

241
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: he's just like slamming his penis in their direction. Um

242
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: that it's actually better in the movie and like, uh

243
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Super producer Anna pointed out, Um, it did.

244
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: The word is thrusting. He is thrusting its penis, He's

245
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: not flicking it. Uh, but I don't know. Uh, clearly

246
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: you're more of a flicker and not more of a flicker.

247
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Clearly Elvis don't don't flick. He thrusts. Um, he thrusts.

248
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: He's horny. And I think the best performances in that

249
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: scene came from like the actors who were playing the

250
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: like like about to lose my ship women in the

251
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: audience because someone screaming where a guy like falls back

252
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,359
Speaker 1: and starts having a seizure. It was it was interesting,

253
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: Um yeah, like one of the one of the screams

254
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: that the women made when he like was you know,

255
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: fucking wiggling his ship her way. It's like the Tony

256
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Collette meme of her screaming. Yeah. Like that level of

257
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: like energy was in and I was like, damn, like

258
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: give these people a fucking award. Like I could feel,

259
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I could feel the hysteria take over the people who

260
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: had gotten a taste of forbidden fruit or whatever. However,

261
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks is weird Warner for she talks like Werner Herzog.

262
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be a con man who's pretending he's

263
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: from West Virginia. But I think this is where Lerman

264
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: takes liberties right, and he's trying to say this guy

265
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: was so sloppy, like he's like we see through his

266
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: shit or something. I don't know if that's the subtext,

267
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: because he's like a bad guy all the way through,

268
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: just keeps doing bad things. No real arc accent choice

269
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: like he he has a thick accent, And at one

270
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: point a politician investigates him as like and we've discovered

271
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: you're not from West Virginia, and he's like, oh no,

272
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: they found out it's like West Virginia. He sounds like

273
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: he's like from Germany or like Sweden, or I guess

274
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: he's from the Netherlands. But like you go watch an interview,

275
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: like after you watch the movie, go watch an interview

276
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: with the guy, and he he talks like a like

277
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: with with no accent at all. They're very baffling stuff

278
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: from Tom Hanks. Um they so they keep manufacturing stuffy

279
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: old white guys to like harrumph in the background uh

280
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: of his performances. So at first it's like true, like

281
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: people being like this, my my daughter is out of control,

282
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: like he we must not we must not allow this.

283
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: But like at a certain point, they like start making

284
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: up these stories where like his he's supposed to be

285
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: like selling uh fucking sweaters and like the guys like

286
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I just want him to like play an acoustic guitar

287
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: and a sweater and sing. Here comes Santa Claus and

288
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: then he like performs his hits and everyone's like oh,

289
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: and it's like they just have to keep like making

290
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: up these people. Like that's the only year that the

291
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: movie has. It's this is also made for people who

292
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: have no idea what cultural appropriation is. I'll say that

293
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: because famously, like Elvis Pressy was doing black music and

294
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: that was like the thing there, and they even they

295
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: mentioned that thing. It's like, man, when I have these

296
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: these neg roles on my records, nobody buys them until

297
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: I got this white boy singing the Negro songs, and

298
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: now everybody likes it, even the Negroes. As they say

299
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: that line over and rishi it. There's this scene right

300
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: where they show young Elvis like going to like a

301
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: revival church like in a tent and ship and he's

302
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: people are you know, they're they're singing and they're worshiping,

303
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: and he goes in and suddenly he catches the fucking

304
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: spirit and like it's meant to be this like very

305
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: transformative scene, like fucking Avatar or some ship, like he

306
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: became avatar in that moment because he was exalted by

307
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: the ethnic people to carry on the mantle of their

308
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: cultural contributions or some ship. And like that's how they

309
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: sort of present his intersection with black culture. And I

310
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: was like, this is very inaccurate. Um. And that was

311
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: interesting to Priscilla, who is fourteen when they meet there,

312
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: like a pretty young teenager, Like they don't, they don't,

313
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: they don't say a fucking child. Um. He like they Yeah,

314
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: they make him seem like like they make it seem

315
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: like he and bb King were close friends and like

316
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: in fact, they like met one time. There's a scene

317
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: where he sees a little rich or perform and he's like, man,

318
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: that guy should be more famous than me, and uh,

319
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: BB King's like, there's no way because you're white, and

320
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: like that's what people, right. And then they do nothing

321
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: with that, there's nothing, absolutely nothing. Um. Did you notice

322
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: the Pepsi versus coke thing? Actually so miles full transparency.

323
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: You had to leave earlier. I left it. Yeah, I

324
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: left with about forty minutes ago, I think, because it

325
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: is about two and a half hours, so it's taking

326
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: place in the South. They keep like Pepsi keeps coming up.

327
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: He keeps drinking pepsi. At one point he's like nervous

328
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: and they're like, here, drink this pepsi. It'll make your stomach,

329
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: it'll call your stomach. And the whole time I'm like, oh, well,

330
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: it must be like a thing where like they just

331
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: sold the rights to Pepsi and like it was really

332
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: cooked because it's the South and like it's the fifties,

333
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: like so pepsi when he's young and like doing well

334
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: at the end of his life, Like the only time

335
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: that we see Elvis in a fat suit performing and

336
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: he looks like he's dead, like he has to be

337
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: like carried around. He has like uh paper cups of

338
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: coke on the piano. I was like, h m hmm, okay, okay,

339
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: so you're seeing some brand worship. I'm seeing some brand

340
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: worship for sure. Alright, alright, I didn't I didn't get

341
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: to that part. But there's some of the fun like weirdness,

342
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: like he mouth kisses his fans in vegas, like the

343
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: after his vegas shows, he full on like kisses his

344
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: fans on the mouth, like repeatedly, like every one of them. Um,

345
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: like passionate deep kisses, but like there's stuff that like

346
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: his Memphis Mafia stuff, like his his crew that he

347
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: traveled around with that like just you know, gassed him

348
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: up and just let him believe whatever was going on

349
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: in his head. Like he just kind of stays this

350
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: like sweet, naive like person. They don't really like he

351
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: was a drug attle maniac like that. They don't have

352
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: the Nixon meeting. Do you know the story of the

353
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Nixon up, Like it doesn't. He showed up high out

354
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: of his mind in a cape with a gold handgun

355
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: to give to the president at the White House. Showed

356
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: up and asked Nixon to make him the America's drugs

357
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: are which wasn't wasn't a thing, but he was like,

358
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll drop the dime on like the Beatles and all

359
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: these hippies who do illegal drugs. I only do drugs

360
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: that are prescribed to me by like the doctor friend

361
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: who just enables my my drug addiction. Right, But like

362
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,800

363
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: hands of a different filmmaker. I feel like it. It was, Yeah,

364
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,480

00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: But I will say if you don't mind watching something

368
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: that could make your eyes roll completely back into your head. Um,

369
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: and it's kind of fun because it's so bad, I guess.

370
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, like the performance by Austin whatever like is

371
