00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: a bit of spoken word poetry. As some of the

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: listeners who listened on Monday's episode with Greg and Joel,

16
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: we talked about how I had a roommate who didn't

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: know how to sweep with a broom, and I said,

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: how the funk could you be fucking up on room?

19
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: And you just go to them, Dear old roommate. I'm

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: so so sorry I was not your mother. If I

21
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: was your mother, you would have been so loved Todd

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: right away, how to sweep floors right? Never would you

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: lose the fight against dirt unfurled before our eyes, up

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: pure pile of filth sitting under a woke sky. If

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I was your mother, the house would have been clean.

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: You'd use a broom and not need a dice in machine.

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the stain, the soul stealing pain that

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the little boy you were exposed to, so that you

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: learned to hold a broom the wrong way and became

30
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: dumb enough to buy a photo on eBay. Okay, shout

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: out to Josiah George Josiah, which everyone sorry about the pronunciation.

Speaker 1: not the actual item that they thought they were bidding on. Wow,

35

Speaker 1: At first, we're going to tell our listeners a couple

103
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about. The cops in America

104
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: have so much extra gear, they're donating it to Ukraine.

105
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: So we just want to take this opportunity to look

106
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: at the fact that they have that gear in the

107
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: first place, That the NYPD and l a p D

108
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: budget is way higher than the defense budget of Ukraine. Yeah,

109
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: nearly double. Yeah, Well, we'll talk and that's kind of

110
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: going to be the theme of our second act is

111
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: just police fucker either's time piece. There's a New York

112
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Times piece over the weekend claiming like, well, you don't

113
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: have to either defund the police and invest in alternatives.

114
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: It's not neither or situation. You just got to do both.

115
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: And so Alec Kark Santa's previous guests pointed out the

116
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: reason that's bullshit. So we're gonna go through that. We're

117
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the people doing the real work fighting

118
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: against Vladimir Putin, and that is the guys who are

119
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: dumping out white Russians, making a white Russian and then

120
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: dumping it out. We've talked about the Yeah, we've talked

121
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: about the vodka bands. But I was at a brewery

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: in Alabama a couple of weeks ago, and like, I

123
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: asked for a Moscow mule and like she wouldn't like

124
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: say the word Moscow. I was like, y'all, what is

125
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the like what literally was going on right now? Yeah,

126
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: they're like why, It's like, that's because I'm sorry, because

127
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Moscow is where the Kremlin is, which is the seat

128
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: of the Russian government. And I don't know if you

129
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: heard about the untold the humanity arian transgressions they're committing

130
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: against the people of Ukraine. So you won't say the

131
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: word Monscow. No hta resistance And they're like, why you

132
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: got the Confederate flag? That was a valid states rights

133
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that because the war has

134
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: been brought back to the realm of French fries. You

135
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: may remember one of the stupidest moments in modern American

136
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: history when they changed we we stopped calling them French

137
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: fries and started calling them freedom fries. Well, now there's

138
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: a war on poutine because of that similarity. Oh yeah,

139
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: oh we have gotten We have gotten there. So we'll

140
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about Mark Zuckerberg's sister, maybe Randy.

141
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: We have to Randy. Yeah, Randy's out here, crypto scammer. Yeah,

142
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: So all of that plenty more. But first, Mariah, we

143
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: do like to ask eric guests, what is something from

144
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: your searches. So in addition to googling Pacific time versus

145
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Eastern time to make sure I showed up on time

146
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to this, because I recently googled Ladyberg Lake, Austin because

147
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: I am going to Austin next week for south By

148
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: Southwest and staying near Ladybird Lake, and I was like,

149
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: where is that? So, yeah, that's super exciting and something

150
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: I had to verify today. What's Ladybird Lake? It's a

151
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: lake perhaps with ladies and birds. I really have no idea.

152
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: I think it's like a reservoir or something. Austin based

153
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: listeners right now are going to be shaking their heads,

154
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: like even look close of the map on it's a

155
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: river like reservoir on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas.

156
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: And I do where we just read the Wikipedia page.

157
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: But so that it seems like it's the main like

158
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: water way that I always assumed was a river, but

159
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: in in downtown Austin, like where the bridges go over

160
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe that's where. Yeah, yeah, that's all that's in the

161
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Congress Bridge and stuff. Yeah, oh god, it it's just

162
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: like this little, like big lump in the lake that

163
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: kind of looks less reverie and looks more laky. I said,

164
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Bob in the lake. Look this is we don't come

Speaker 1: at the sidebar on Saturday, play Alive on k u

173
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: t X NPR affiliate down in Austin. So yeah, if

174
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in Austin, come through. I'm see what

175
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: all the fuss is about. Yeah, we'll link off too.

176
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Is there we can get a link to the page

177
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: with all the info yeah, like we'll have some people

178
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: down to south but oh yeah, no, there's there's there's

179
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: definitely Texas. Like, what is something you think is overrated?

180
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Something I think is overrated? Okay, this is gonna be

181
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: like a super hot take. But like I think that

182
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: the at least in Georgia. So I'm in Georgia, United

183
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: States of America. But um, I think that people like

184
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: people concerns about voter suppression are a little overblown. And

185
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: here's why. Here's why I think it's real. I think

186
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: it's real. But we saw that in the Atlanta municipal

187
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: elections for mayor city council last year. Turn out was

188
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: actually more people voted in that then before after they

189
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: pass all their you know, voter suppression stuff. In addition,

190
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: not even is it like, I don't know how much

191
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: it is is gonna be an impact, etcetera. I think that

192
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: people like trying to scare folks about it is actually

193
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna work to the end of voter supression as well.

194
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: Like if you go out and tell people that aren't

195
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: like committed voters, like it's harder to vote now, they're

196
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna be like, I pe someone like you know that

197
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: that sounds alful, Like I don't want to get arrested

198
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: for like drinking water inline or whatever, and so I

199
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: just think we should focus a lot more on educating

200
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: folks on how to vote given the new constraints. And

201
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: this will be you know, we got big election now here,

202
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: we got Stacy. Everyone's running, were knock running, and so

203
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: we'll see this year will be like the testing grounds

204
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: for like how impactful these laws actually are, because so

205
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: far the evidence is that, I don't know, maybe people

206
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: in defiance are like going out and voting more so

207
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know. I wonder how much is

208
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: that that like people actively it's so transparent and is

209
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: just like so out there that it's just like all right,

210
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: fuck you. But that could be it. That could definitely

211
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: be it. Yeah, I'm not trying to downplay these laws,

212
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: but like sure because I know, like in Texas there's

213
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: been like a huge people getting their mail in ballots rejected.

214
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: But I do get like, in broader terms that rather

215
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: than just being like it's so fucked up, why would

216
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: you get like, don't scare people away from voting, that's

217
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do, Just you know, focus on

218
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: it's fucked up and we need to do this. But

219
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: also you know, look there's also there's a lot of

220
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: that like federal at the federal level that could be done.

221
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: But one problem at a time, Let's figure out how

222
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you're fucking doesn't get thrown the funk up. Yeah, let's

223
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: just make sure your vote gets counted. Let's just stick

224
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: to that. They don't need to fear longer on either side.

225
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: But once I we know what they're gonna do, And

226
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: was there like in Georgia, you know, and it were

227
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: was there like a huge push to kind of like

228
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: lean the other way and just say, hey, it's still

229
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: it's still important to turn out this is how you vote. Yeah,

230
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: I think folks have been doing a good job educating

231
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: people on it. The stories that are splashier. This is

232
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: also the media's fault because it's like catchier too to

233
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,119
Speaker 1: you know, write headlines that sound terrifying about the situation

234
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: that then get picked up and circulated more so than

235
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: what the educational efforts have been. How can you go

236
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: out and vote make sure your vote is counted? So

237
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean we're on our game with like

238
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: voter education. Like, don't get me wrong, it's just we

239
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: need to really try to like hype that up so

240
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: folks don't feel discouraged. I think the reason to why

241
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: some people get like talk less about what the efforts

242
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: are of like activists on the ground is because on

243
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: some level there's like this idea. It's like, don't have

244
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: activists keep bailing this party out that's barely doing ship

245
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: for them. And so that's also part of the conversation too,

246
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: where you like, man, I know we're tired, Yeah, right exactly.

247
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: But at the same but ship, there are still people

248
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: out there who fundamentally are trying to make sure that

249
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: people have the ability to vote. And yeah, I guess

250
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: there's also that tension to where it's like we also

251
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: look at leadership in the in d scene or like

252
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: where the funk are y'all at? Yeah, like where someone

253
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: asked me today, like, oh, have you ever thought about

254
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: running for higher office? And I considered it, But like

255
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: those people like federal even state level, like they don't

256
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: get to be out with the people really like they

257
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: don't even see the people. I don't even know if

258
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: they want to see the people. I like being a

259
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: local lect official because I because I ran into this

260
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: dude on my walk that like we had toyment conversation

261
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: about local politics. You don't you don't get that from

262
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: your congressman. So exactly the end out here in these

263
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: streets mm hmm. Yeah, they're just on endless phone calls

264
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: with donors. I feel like, what is something you think

265
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: is under radar? You know, like like dancing around your

266
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: house like recently, Okay, so I'm real slow, I'm no,

267
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: but I just got on TikTok and it's given me

268
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: an excuse to like dance around in my house when

269
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: a baby sleep. And I was like, oh man, not

270
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: only do I have like excellent dance moves that I

271
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: forgot about? Yeah, I like I broke a sweat and

272
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: then breathing heavily. Like it's like a mini little workout.

273
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: So if it's like raining or whatever, you want to

274
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: go to the gym and gets spit on by somebody

275
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: got COVID, like just you know, just bust out a

276
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: couple of moves, put it on, put it on a reel.

277
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Are you hitting challenges or are you just oh no, no

278
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: no no, I just danced the random ship that like, okay,

279
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I was just TikTok. I'm like, oh, you're you're there now.

280
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, not like that, not to disparage that. That's

281
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: cool and fine because now I'm on TikTok. Who am

282
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: I to judge? But no, I just like put on

283
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: my favorite jem, maybe some tanging to bangers or whatever,

284
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: and like, OK, just flex a little bit. Yeah, what's uh?

285
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean? I man, there's this one. There's like one

286
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: flying Lotus song that I remember I vacuuming too, and

287
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: then I turned into some like weird hood fredis stare

288
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: thing with the vacuum and then yeah, I mean, and

289
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: there's just like certain things I'm like starting to do

290
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: the robot and ship. I don't even I can't even

291
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: really do the fucking robot, but like this music is

292
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: informing my body how to move. Those are those are

293
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: very underrated moments of braking and then dancing when the

294
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: kid gets when the kids get a little older, that's

295
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's gone. I feel like that's one of

296
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: the life extenders. Are like the things that keep your

297
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: brain young type things that you hear about that I

298
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: actually believe in is dance. Like dancing they say, because

299
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: it like promotes like the elasticity and like thinking in

300
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the moment. Just actually, you can't dance if you're not

301
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: in the actual moments. It was like, but I feel

302
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: like people tend to just immediately need jerk, say like

303
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: yoga meditation, but like dancing puts you in the moment

304
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: to take a little five minute bag, three minute break. Yeah,

305
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, what's jack, what's something that gets You're put

306
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: some honey in your hips because you're gets your big

307
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: toe shooting up in your boot. It's really situational. You know,

308
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: it can be anything that's a cop out. Come on, No,

309
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't want us to know his kryptonite,

310
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna open the show with like his secret

311
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: like weiss, and then he's just gonna be jiggling around

312
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: instead of recording the show. I do a lot of

313
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: car dancing, so it's really whatever whatever. I'm listening to

314
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot in the car. But like, my kids love

315
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: dancing to the Beatles, which is like, that's not that's

316
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: not really danceable music. And I don't let them. I

317
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: don't let them, like, hey, why don't you ever come

318
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: to prom It's like, well, my dad yelled at me

319
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: for dancing to the Beetle. We basically have to playlists.

320
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: One is like music I like the you know, I

321
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: just pick up into pen wherever around the world from

322
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: TV shows. And then one is like, oh, I bet

323
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: they would like this song that like pops into my head.

324
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: So like that's all we listen to basically at all times.

325
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm taking with them. I'm taking the approach

326
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: of I think it'll make them better dancers if I

327
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: take the parenting approach of the preacher from Footloose and

328
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: I just say that they're not allowed to dance anywhere

329
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: that it breathes sin, And then I catch them dancing

330
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: and throwing dance parties and in the middle of the night,

331
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: what you have copies of breaking all over the house

332
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: that they can want Turbo's got moves? Like, what did

333
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: I say about evoking Turbo's name? In this house, we

334
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: do not speak of boogaloo shrimp here. Yeah, how about

335
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: you Miles with your visit? Well, god fucking anything that

336
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: honestly depends on the beat, honestly sucking anything anything except

337
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: for like classical I mean something obviously with like a

338
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: proper like backbeat to it. But the last thing that

339
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I think, oh it was probably it's there's just this one.

340
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: Oh you know what it was? I think it was

341
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: MC squared by Jay Diller and Common. I was just

342
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: listening to that song the other day because there's just

343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: the drones are sold your neck will snap into But

344
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: then I just start getting like I can't can't control

345
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: myself them down from your music recommendations, Nouveau Western, I

346
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: think that was you. That's that's heavy rotation with both

347
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: my playlists and my kids playlist and yeah that we

348
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: were getting down to that. That's got a good sample. Yeah, yeah, Bryan,

349
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: what do you what do you dance to? What's your

350
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: what gets you? So? Yeah, Tank of the Bang Is,

351
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: I'll put on some gold Link. He had that new

352
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: album out in December. Remember it was great. It was

353
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: so good. Um, I like to I love putting on

354
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: weird stuff to dance to, to like just stretch the

355
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: boundaries of what you can do hip hop dance moves too.

356
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: So the other night I was dancing to um Big

357
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: Rock Candy Mountain Bye Harry from the Right. So I

358
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: was like, let I get down to this, Let's put

359
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: it on to see if I could like popping lock too? Yeah,

360
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: well how about song? So that it up that song

361
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: makes so much sense to me when I'm incredibly hungry.

362
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yeah, it's like a love song to candy,

363
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: just like rock candy. Yeah, what a time, what a time?

364
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: The depression must have done. That seem a big rock

365
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: candy mount, big rock candy mount. That song. It's that's

366
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: a funny, that's you know, it's weird though is I've

367
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: only seen oh brother like maybe once, but I will

368
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: not forget that that song. Probably I won't forget that

369
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: song because I was like, damn big rock. That movie

370
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: was them streaming out a really good soundtrack. They're just like,

371
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: we'll put some images with us. But what as a

372
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: as a musician do you have a strategy for? Is

373
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: it it's a little early right for your baby, but

374
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: what do you have a strategy for like what you're

375
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: gonna expose him to? And wanting to ask you all

376
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: about that, because like, we listen to a lot of

377
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: hip hop around the house, and we've been like wondering

378
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: to ourselves, at what time we need to like find

379
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: kid friendly hip hop when he's gonna start picking up

380
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: on words, you know, because we put on some like

381
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: R C J or whatever, and but like at some

382
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: point he might be like, fuck, you know, just learning

383
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: the lingo. So I don't know. I don't really know

384
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: what the strategy is gonna be when we get there,

385
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: because I'm not I'm not wanting to like censor much,

386
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: but I don't want to go into school and be

387
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: like I press on you she was in public. You're like, yeah,

388
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: it's tricky because they only put out the clean versions

389
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: of the big hits usually, right right, I mean, I

390
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: think that the thing my dad did would be like, well,

391
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: if I want to be able to dance to stuff,

392
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's not some like soft ass kids. Ship played

393
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: a lot of like afrobeat like Fella Cootie and stuff,

394
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: so like I don't know, like I'm not understanding of

395
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: the lyrics, but the music is like super high energy

396
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: and like you know, those are like fucking eight minutes songs,

397
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: so it's like, yo, what's the good point? Also, I

398
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: just thought about, okay, instrumentals to put the instrumental on

399
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: and I can like if it's like a song that

400
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: like it's my song, like like you know, like I know,

401
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, where's a little bit I can throw things

402
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: and take things out. You know, sometime might be the move.

403
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: It's like, yo, it's like you should hear my mom

404
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: they did the verse on there, like it's called control.

405
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Some people think Kendrick Lamar did it. No. I remember

406
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: growing up that beat would be on. My mom would

407
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: just spit that ship. Yo. That's so funny because when

408
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: I was growing up, you know that song Peaches by

409
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: the Presidents of the United States of America like go.

410
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: I thought that my older brothers had made that song

411
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: up until I got older and saw the music video

412
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: on MTV, and I was furious. I was like, Aaron Sean,

413
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: they like they stole your song, so like I can

414
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: totally matched the scenario. He grows up and it's like

415
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: he here he like sees Kendrick Lamar and the super

416
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Bowl and it's like, wait, is that not is that not?

417
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: Is that not your Wait? My mom always you say

418
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: we gonna be all right, that's that's not like family saying, like,

419
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: you know, world tradition, man. I would actually that would

420
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: be I think that's what I would do to my kid.

421
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I would just play instrumentals and I would split everything

422
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: from the first Clips album how uh Lord Willen and

423
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: they would think that like I think my dad is

424
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: pushed your tea and balance. That's amazing. Multifaceted rappers is

425
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: talking to me as if make an eye contact, be

426
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: in the same boat. I tell them, quick, no move

427
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: coke Like what that's a great Hack's great? All right,

428
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And

429
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: we're back. And the Pentagon has been given their hand

430
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: me downs to local law enforcement for three decades. You

431
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: may have noticed it, at least outward streets officially, right

432
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: there's weapons, vehicles gear like all of a sudden, the

433
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: police look like they're in a first person shooter said

434
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: in like a war zone base. That's what they think

435
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: it is, too. They're like, it's like it's like the

436
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: pal Pal games that play as a kid, only they

437
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: really die. Like watch how these poor people want that

438
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: expanse to like you were saying, miles is expansed to

439
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: their how they describe our cities as hostile war zones?

440
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Like no, exactly, I mean you you know, dressed for

441
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: the job you want. I guess, uh, then that's how

442
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: the police dress like they're an occupying force in a

443
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: hostile war zone. And you know, like along with getting

444
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: free stuff from the Pentagon or like, all right, we

445
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: developed better killing things here take the old ones. Pat.

446
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: The budgets of the police departments are also eye watering.

447
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: We talk about this a lot, but just again, just

448
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: for some perspective, right, the ny p D and l

449
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: a p D, they both spend around eleven billion dollars,

450
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: not collectively each, they're spending leven billion dollars a year,

451
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: okay to quote unquote keep us safe and fight crime

452
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: and that ship. Honestly, if you gave away a living

453
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: eleven billion dollars in cash two people in these cities

454
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: who actually needed it, that would do a hell of

455
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: a lot more for fucking crime rates than being like, yeah,

456
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: we need to investor ship in like night vision goggles,

457
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: more helicopter fuel and all this other nonsense. But again,

458
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: please tell us why spending more money is going to

459
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: give us the outcome of Laura and crime. But we're

460
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: giving more money and the crime rates go up. It's

461
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: almost like one doesn't have to do it the other.

462
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, now, there are like numerous police departments around

463
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: the country that are so overstocked with like old tactical gear,

464
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: ballistic vests, helmets, etcetera. They're kind of like Hey, why

465
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: don't you just send this to Ukraine because the civilians

466
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: might need that for you know, defending their own like

467
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: urban environments against you know, Russia. And a lot of

468
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: departments have said that it's come like people have asked

469
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: like local like Ukrainian charities or like people within the

470
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: department who have Ukrainian family have been like, hey, they

471
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: could really use this stuff. But it's just a surreal situation,

472
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: like when you read headlines like this, because again, when

473
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: you consider that those aforementioned budgets and you realize that

474
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: the defense budget for the entire nation of Ukraine is

475
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: not even six billion dollars, bananas, bananas. Those forty one

476
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: million people who live on the border of Russia who

477
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: have openly been like, we are about to funk you

478
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: up for the past at least decade, many more, and

479
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: their defense budget is six billion. The city of Los

480
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: Angeles has a population of for four million people, and

481
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: they're theyllion dollars. Insane, insanity. All Right, I gotta I

482
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: gotta like another hot take on this, since we're talking

483
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: about the military and the police together. I got away

484
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: for the cops to win and also for us to

485
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: pour tons of money into the community. To actually get

486
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: at the roots of crime. We gotta to fund the

487
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: Pentagon because look, they had a budget of like seven

488
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars this year. The Congress actually

489
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: gave them more money than they asked for, despite the

490
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: fact that they lost like they were found to have

491
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: lost like eighty million dollars, like lost lost track of

492
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars in in construction contracts, gave seven million

493
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: dollars to a one person company for cloud computing software,

494
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: so like all of this stuff, and seventy two billion

495
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: dollars for this thing called the Overseas Contingency Operations Fund,

496
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: which allows them to just go to military operations without

497
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: any sort of congressional approval. So we take all that money,

498
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: just take Pentagon budgets. We could like and homeless this community,

499
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: gardens on every corner, free you know, education, etcetera. And

500
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: then we don't have to come after the cops. They

501
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: can do you know, they can be chilling. They would

502
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: have less to do because there would be less crime

503
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: because we actually invested things people need, you see, like

504
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: the cops are something like we need to talk about

505
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: the Military Industrial Company. Yeah, you know, that's the weird

506
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: alliance that has what you've been waiting for, like strange

507
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: bed photos. Suddenly they're like, yeah, being honestly, I like,

508
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about our budgets. I mean, look

509
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. There we go, that's some what about him?

510
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: M I can get behind, yeah, you know, and then

511
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: maybe like if there was you know, if the Pentagon

512
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: had less like insane military technology, they wouldn't have so

513
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: many hand me downs to then militarize our local communities

514
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: with so everybody wins. Everybody wins. So I'm just saying, no, no,

515
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I think this is Alex Villanueva of the l. A.

516
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department. If you're listening, this might be a good

517
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: strategy put down our rancorps and our you know, spite

518
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: towards each other and unite in the cause of exactly

519
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: if he's like, I mean, I would He's like, the

520
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: l A. Sheriff's Apartment would never need Thermo barrack communitions. Okay,

521
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: those are also banned by the Geneva Convention. Okay, that's ridiculous,

522
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: although who knows, maybe one day it might get it

523
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: might get there, But right now we don't need them.

524
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: So the question of what to do about funding the police,

525
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: just the New York Times positive and a piece over

526
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: the weekend that over last weekend that you can just

527
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: it's a false dichotomy, it's a false choice. You can

528
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: do both. You can just give the you can give

529
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: the police tons more money, and you can fund alternatives

530
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: to the police. So this dude who we had on before,

531
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: Alec Karrick and Santis, who really focuses on like prison abolition,

532
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: So he's amazing. So he's he's basically saying like, actually,

533
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't work like it. So the policy idea that

534
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: the New York Times of defending was taken from a

535
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: sentence and Biden stated the union that got like, I

536
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: guess some bipartisan to prove that. But the problem being

537
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: that the police and the prison industrial complex are you know,

538
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: much more well funded than any other social service, more

539
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: well armed and authorized to use violence than anybody or

540
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: anything is allowed to be in America, more represented by

541
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: the media. But most importantly, they are not fucking interested

542
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: in solving the problem. They are interested in perpetuating the

543
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: problem and perpetuating a system where they make people scared.

544
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: People are afraid people feel like they need these extremely

545
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: well funded police departments, like that's been shown over and

546
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: over and over. Yeah, I mean, here's my middle ground

547
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: solution what I've been working on in my local government

548
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: because like you know, I was like leading the charge,

549
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: like let's cut the police budget, etcetera. But at this point,

550
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, can we just not increase it?

551
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: Like crime and that historic lows. We all know that,

552
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: let's just not like like let's just hold it at

553
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: what it is. Instead the given them more money year

554
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: after year and that's like several million dollars over ten

555
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: years to put into other stuff. Like does that not

556
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: like a compromise for everyone? Like yeah, And I feel

557
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: like as those things succeed, yeah, you could, but but

558
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: it seems like Biden he said, like in his state

559
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: of Union, I believe like we don't need to defund

560
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: the police. We need to like fund it even more,

561
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: like just invest in police. And so Alec kind of

562
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: pulled all this research on on this article. He always

563
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: got the oh my god, always got the receipts. So

564
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: he was like, this article omits research showing modern policing

565
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: does not reduce crime, and the few pro police studies.

566
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: He cherry pick the author from The New York Times

567
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: cherry picks are flawed. They omit crimes committed by cops

568
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: one counting crimes. You think that would be an important

569
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: detail if you're trying to effectiveness. Yeah, but even the

570
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: like very flawed cop research that the article sites like

571
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: eventually shows later in the article the policing has very

572
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: limited short term effects on small areas, and the positive

573
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: effects evaporate over time. So it's like and the US

574
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: in the middle of like funding like going just real

575
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: heavy in this direction, Like if policing could solve crime

576
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: and make what if it made communities safers safer, the

577
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: U s would have the safest societies in the history

578
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: of the world period. So I mean was going on

579
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: And what I found interestingly in my time in public service,

580
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: particularly lately as I've gotten i would say, more savvy

581
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: and like making these arguments to people, like it really

582
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: uncovers the degree to which a lot of elected officials

583
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: just have no understand like no idea, no basis for

584
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: why we should do what we do. Like I went

585
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: all in on the drug war in December and pulled

586
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: all these stats about the effectiveness of decriminalizing drugs and

587
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: Portugal and like the American Public Health Association endorsing like

588
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: a resolution to like to you know, defund and refund effectively.

589
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: And like I was like, yo, if I'm wrong, somebody

590
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: tell me. And literally no one could you know, bring

591
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: to the table any evidence to refute what I was saying.

592
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: And it was just like, oh, okay, just bringing to

593
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: light that, like these folks really don't they don't do

594
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: the math, they don't do the research, they don't do

595
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the homework. And yeah, no imagination for it either, no

596
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: imagination for it either. And so like to look at

597
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: this place that decriminalized drugs, Yeah, substance use treatment went up,

598
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: like other associated crimes with drugs went down. Like so,

599
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think bringing these facts forward, I mean

600
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: it helps advance the conversation because while they couldn't refute it.

601
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: Because they couldn't refute it, they're like I I'm not

602
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna vote no on like renewing our Federal Drug Task

603
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: Force funding today, but like I get behind funding more

604
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: substance abuse treatment next year. So like it helps these

605
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: small narrative shifts that you know, plant the seats for

606
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: some real change. But Yeah, it's wild. The folks like

607
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: just don't even don't even look at the stuff, like

608
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: what Alec has pulled here? Right right? Sometimes, Yeah, And

609
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean we've we've been talking a lot about real

610
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: estate and the importance of you know, the real estate

611
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: industry and a lot of just bad ship that happens

612
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: in America. But you know, he points out that the

613
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: police kind of are the muscle behind like enforcing inequality

614
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: by you know, withdraw moving people away from places that

615
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: have value, you know, value to real estate people. You know,

616
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: I think this is a direct quill controlling the poor

617
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: to benefit real estate developers. And the surveillance and brutal

618
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: infiltration of social movements are too consistent and defining features

619
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: of the last one and twenty five years of policing

620
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: and those yeah, you that is incompatible with the alternatives

621
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: that people are talking about, which is all about you know,

622
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: reducing inequality and finding ways to invest in people, and

623
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: those are yeah, yeah, I've been on that stuff about

624
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: like the housing gangs like Hella lately, because they really

625
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: like housing developers really are they are gangs exactly. They

626
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: exploited dependency, just like drug dealers exploit someone who's addicted

627
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: to math or something like that. If you don't play

628
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: by their rules, they use violence to enforce them. So

629
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: if you get evicted or if you're homeless, they use

630
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: the state rather than their own violence to crack down

631
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: them people that won't play the game. And similar as

632
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: drug dealing. If you're like wealthy, you can get your

633
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: fixed and not get any punishment. But if you're poor

634
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: and you're like camping out or you can't you know,

635
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: afford rent this month, like then that's when the cops

636
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: come for you. So it's just like the drug war.

637
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: They are absolutely corporate housing developers are absolutely just car tals,

638
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, exploiting the dependency period. And in l A

639
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: we have Rick Caruso running for a mayor of l A.

640
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: Rick Cruso is one of the biggest developers in the city,

641
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: like and talk like the joke always being like you know,

642
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: also sits on like these like benevolent Police, you know,

643
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: the society type boards and stuff like that because he

644
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: pays a lot of money to keep on house people

645
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: the funk out of the grove and ship like that,

646
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: and other shopping centers that his company runs. Because that's

647
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: how it all works and like, yeah, you're not even

648
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: seeing like it's so it's so like overt to the

649
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: point it's like, well, now I'm the fucking mayre, y'all,

650
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Like and think of how many people you look at,

651
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: most people in a lot of cities or most cities,

652
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: how much you need the backing of real estate developers

653
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: to even ascend city politics, because they damn sure don't

654
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: want people who are going to start being like we

655
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: need to read thing zoning laws and like what kind

656
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: of buildings were making because this ship doesn't serve anybody

657
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: except for a very small group. And yeah, you know,

658
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: but more and more, you know, you want people to

659
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: really begin to see the links between private property, uh

660
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: and the violence that is, you know, acted out against

661
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: other people in pursuit of that. We the the way

662
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: that I like first started paying more attention to the

663
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: role that real estate has in this is there is

664
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: that l a magazine article that was like, is l

665
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: A really as scary as it seems? And it had

666
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: like a shrieking white woman on the cover like looking

667
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: through blinds out out her window, like, and so it

668
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: seemed like, oh, this is gonna be them being like no,

669
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: you guys are sucking out of your minds. But no,

670
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: it was all just like on the one hand, the

671
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: statistics show that things are fine and like not even

672
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: close to being you know, unprecedented for like even recent

673
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: history of l A. On the other hand, here a

674
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: bunch of anecdotes from scared rich people, who are you know,

675
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: going to say wild ship? And I noticed that one

676
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: of the key sources. So that person, that author who

677
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: wrote that piece for l A magazine, his background was

678
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: real estate reporting and his one of his key sources

679
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: was Rick Cruso, and he like name dropped that Rick

680
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Cruso was thinking about a mayoral bid in that article.

681
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: And now Rick Cruso is running for mayor. And you know,

682
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure that dude would get a really nice, cushy position.

683
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: If that's another thing that Ale carts tanis. I don't

684
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: know if sayings her name right, but um, he talks

685
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: about a lot. Is like the sources people site in

686
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: these articles to say that what they're saying is backed

687
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: up by experts. It's so it's like, oh, like a

688
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: criminologist that was formerly in the c i A. It's like, oh,

689
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: experts as like former police officers, former prosecutors when ibe

690
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: if you talk to most criminologists, if you talked to historians,

691
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: talk to sociologists, like, the pattern is clear of the

692
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: way that this, you know, policing does drive inequality. But

693
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: let's quote you know, the billionaire real estate developer on

694
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, what's the future of Los Angeles should look like?

695
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: So right, it's like a and and they helped me

696
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: out on a couple of deals. So I kind of

697
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: needed I got. I kind of got their back now

698
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: because I, you know, pretty quickly changed my career from

699
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about real estate to city crime, switched to that beat.

700
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: And then you look at Rick Caruso's you know campaign

701
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: website and the top three issues are and two of

702
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: the three sort of basically relate to how police brutalize

703
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: the poor. First one is end straight homelessness. Read Rick's

704
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: detailed plan into how's the homeless? How about how's the unhoused?

705
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Anyway and get people the care they need to get

706
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: back on their feet. I doubt that. Then the next

707
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: one's public safety, which goes hand in hand with your

708
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: article you're referencing, which is trying to put the seeds

709
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: in people's heads, which is like everything so fucked up.

710
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: We need law and order. We need law and order,

711
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: we need public safety. We need more people who are

712
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: going to reinforce the idea that police and law enforcement

713
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: and you know, state violence is actually the key here

714
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: to getting things back on track. That l amag article

715
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: has multiple use of of the phrase, but still after using,

716
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: after quoting a bunch of facts, but still feels very

717
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: very scary out there according to this person. And then

718
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: the New York Times piece over the weekend Alec pointed

719
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: out that there's a quote that says both sides work

720
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: best together, experts said, And then he says, this sentence

721
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: belongs in the journalism Hall of Fame because it's just

722
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: a vague allusion to like some experts. But it's actually

723
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have anything backing it up other than

724
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: like this person the police union experts said. Yeah, yeah,

725
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: prett job, Yeah, well done, congrats killing the game. All right,

726
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and

727
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: talk about how to really solve a problem, that is

728
00:40:52,719 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: by changing the name of poutine, and we're back, and yeah,

729
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: it seems like poutine has become the new freedom fries.

730
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: This report comes from the front lines from our writer

731
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: J M McNabb up in Canada, and you know, first

732
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: of all, you gave us a little bit of an

733
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: update on the bars renaming, you know, rejecting Russian vodka

734
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: and white Russians and Moscow mules have been now renamed.

735
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: A conservative talk show host Jesse Kelly claimed the other

736
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: day that he made himself a white Russian then dumped

737
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: it in the sink ingrats. Bro, that's sick. I want

738
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: that to be true. I just want to like picture

739
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: him making himself to drink and then duffing like yeah, yeah, right,

740
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: and then like putting his fucking like getting his like

741
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: Soviet flag behind him. He's like that's practice right there.

742
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: He's like, I live this ship, live breathe resistance. Yeah okay, bro.

743
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: And Austin, Texas eatery called Russian House is renaming itself

744
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: simply house, which feels that's that's not good, y'all, that's

745
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: not a good. That was poorly thought out. That do

746
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: you want to know what? Do you want to go

747
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: to the house tonight? Which house? You know? The one?

748
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: You know the one? Hey, let's take you to the house.

749
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, ye take it to the house. Themed

750
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: around the Hue Laurie medical drama, the House Restaurant and

751
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: all years massive Attack playing give you a lap, right,

752
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,479
Speaker 1: like this idea, this like superficial shore, like it has

753
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: the words in it. Fuck that because it has the

754
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: words in it. It's like the other version of just

755
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: like big black square energy on Instagram in the summer energy.

756
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: That's the same as like, man, I don't really want

757
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: to learn too much or really urs through it, so

758
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I really understand the nuance here. It looks like a

759
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: lot of people are mad at this thing. I'm gonna

760
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: hop in and do the absolute minum. Yeah, I'd love

761
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: to take some performative action that distracts from the actual

762
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: issues here, so that takes up a headline in my

763
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: local paper and not actually what's happening on the ground

764
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Yeah, I did my ally ship today. I'm

765
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: gonna go local man. Poor local man pours liquid into

766
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: sink and solidarity like so brave. So in the grand

767
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: tradition of Freedom Fries, which is there. Do do we

768
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: think that there's a part of the American populist that

769
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: like remembers that fondly as like a time that we

770
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: all came together and said we won't be pushed around

771
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: by France by renaming French fries. Robly Halimburton, I would

772
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: imagine Lockheed Martin, you know those contractors that were like, yeah,

773
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: that's right with the contracts of finding um stoked about

774
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: Freedom Fries. But I don't know if anybody else remember

775
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: that fondly. I mean, it was just like a thing

776
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: that everybody laughed at because they're like, this county won't

777
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: let us unilaterally decide to fucking start a war in

778
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Like that was the reason, right that

779
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: they're like they're all trying to like pump the brakes

780
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: on this ship funk out of here. And I don't know,

781
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the origin that they changed the name,

782
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: like in the cafeteria like on the Capitol or something,

783
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: or at the White House. And that's how like it

784
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: first started. It started so back then. It was February

785
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: two thousand three in a North Carolina restaurant. Was widely

786
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: publicized a month later when then Republican Chairman of the

787
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Committee of House Administration Bob Nay renamed the menu item

788
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: in three congressional cafeterias, right, and people were like, okay, again,

789
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: that's I mean, we should have people should have known

790
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: this was coming because they're like, oh, we don't like

791
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: them anything that's associated with it. We're done with it.

792
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: It's unconceivable. It's because like just google how to help,

793
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: like literally like their spuns as people getting all sorts

794
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: of hygiene supplies over there and like food aid contribute.

795
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: But like literally, it's just like I am, I'm I

796
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: don't I forgot how to google. I guess I'm gonna

797
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: pour this liquid down the think yeah right, yeah, and

798
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: you can meme it. You can, you know, you can

799
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: do do it on Instagram or TikTok. You know. They're

800
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: like I told my children to stop playing tetris because

801
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,959
Speaker 1: that is also Russian. We do not funk around here.

802
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: We will also not use helicopters because I mean someone

803
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: definitely did that, right, Yeah, there has to be someone

804
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: completely stupid yet to do that. So the problem, well

805
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: this is not the problem, but the problem as these

806
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: people see it, is that Putin, like Vladimir Putin's last name,

807
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: translates it into French as poutine, and people like that.

808
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't like that's just how it translates. Some people

809
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: say it's because the other more obvious, like trans lation

810
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: is a French swear word, and so they like made

811
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: it poutine. Other people are like, no, that's just how

812
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: this really translates into French. But yeah, either way, a

813
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: diner in Quebec has retired the word poutine, and that

814
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: diner claims to be the birthplace of poutine. Now JM

815
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: comes through and says, but they didn't really invented they

816
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: just added the gravy. I will I will take issue

817
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: with use the word just there, because the gravy for me,

818
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: is the most important part of the poutine. I'm offended

819
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: by the concept of just cheese curds on fries. Yeah,

820
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: that's what it originally was. Somebody was at a Quebec

821
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: dairy farming town in ninety seven and asked to throw

822
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: the cheese curds and French fries in a bag together

823
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: and called it poutine, which is a slang for a mess.

824
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think they were fully what

825
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 1: what we what I know and love as poutine until

826
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: they dropped that gray to be on there. I just

827
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: don't what are they solving by it's because it's not

828
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: This has literally nothing to do with Vladimir putin media

829
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: grab it's like seizing this opportunity to get aheadline. I

830
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: really think that. And it's folks that, like, you know,

831
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: we think about we think about activism in terms of

832
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: consumer choices so often like performative, like you know, oh,

833
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, like, I don't know, change the name of

834
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: my restaurant, thinking about in terms of commerce rather than

835
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: just like give your material resources over to people who

836
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: needed non transactionally without expecting any benefit, Like nobody's gonna

837
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: like you, nobody has to know just do it. But

838
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: it's like, how can I do this in a way

839
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna garner me attention? Right? Right? Does funk all?

840
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: And And again it's it's such a clear like clearly

841
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: missing the point because you're just saying, like it rhymes,

842
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: that's bad. But I will also call it my master bedroom,

843
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: because I don't know about any sort of linguistic implications

844
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: or storical references that might make I will still call

845
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: it a master bedroom. Like that's where it's That's where

846
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: you're like, this is so inconsistent. But again I think

847
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: speaks to your point where I that this isn't about

848
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: anything to do with being in solidarity with anything except

849
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: your fucking ego, and you're talking about thinking like, oh,

850
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: maybe some more some similarly minded people that like don't

851
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: understand actually how to affect any kind of change, or

852
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: like I came in, yeah, we we we wanted to

853
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: put our money where our mouth is with support for

854
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: Ukraine by coming to buy your dumb fries with no

855
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: gravy apparently anyway, right right, right, we the people who

856
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: just changed the name were the first to put Gravey

857
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: on it. So I am saying like this is a

858
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: significant step in the world of Putine because they are,

859
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the effective inventors of Putine. Damn shame

860
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: how far they have fallen since the grain, you know, right.

861
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: They're like, I will also not use the periodic table

862
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: of elements because I heard that was also invented by

863
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: a Russian. They're like, you can play this game real

864
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: quick and not be using shit, don't do anything, but like,

865
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: so be you know, if you're really about it, then

866
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: be like I don't use fucking solar cell like energy

867
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: family all kinds of weird ship my phone in a leg,

868
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: But it also seems very American, like I've referenced the

869
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: last time it's like World War two. It's like, all right, man,

870
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: if you're a Japanese, there's no historical member, there's no

871
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: like awareness of like we've completely been here before and

872
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: realized later how funked up it was and like learned nothing,

873
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: learned nothing. And some of these places, these institutions are

874
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: responding to the death threats and ship that's like being

875
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: said because they serve these things, or at least that's

876
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: where they're claiming. So I'm gonna need to see some screenshots, sir.

877
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure people might be mad, but guess what,

878
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: they probably know less than you if that is the

879
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: if that's bringing them to that point. Damn, I mean,

880
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: like there's so many the other reason to be mad

881
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: at what's going on, rather than like this place dis

882
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: rhymes with the guy's name by the way, you know

883
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: who created and instituted the and continues to repeat the

884
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: phrase master bedroom as real estate agents industry exactly open

885
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: your third eye, just saying anyways, Uh, don't give in

886
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: to the bullshit harassment if that's what's happening, and don't

887
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: jump on the fucking let's change anything Russian two. Yeah,

888
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: and guess what if you're friends like that. You can

889
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: be the really smartass and go hold on, man, turn

890
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: that label around. See where that's made. Not in Russia.

891
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: Well it almost sounds like they just they own the name.

892
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Russia anymore. Okay, I'm sorry.

893
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: Was that bottled there? And even then, are you sure

894
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: that affects the government because that I don't know. I

895
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Check we're

896
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: sending a message, Miles. Yeah, it's gonna fucking hear as

897
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: loud and clear. We break stuff that we don't like

898
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: the American way, right it. I don't understand. I mean,

899
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how these people's political persuasion is. But

900
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: like I thought only dumb people like burned the nikes

901
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: they bought because matter or whatever. You know, some blue

902
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: no matter who type people also doing this ship. Like

903
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe what's going on. Like I had, I

904
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: stopped watching the Netflix series Russian Doll because that was

905
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: too far say it affairs here we are. And I

906
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: saw one of those Russian dolls. You can't trust them,

907
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like one and then there's like

908
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: ten more and then like this one to be the

909
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: last one, oh my, and another one and another one

910
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,600

Speaker 1: in the Russian doll to the Kalid doll. You know, yeah,

913
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: you know who would make a good Russian doll? Did

914
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: call here? The most any human being has ever been

915
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: shaped like a Russian doll? That's wild. Another one interesting,

916
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: All sorts of wild connections coming together on this episode.

917
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of wild connections, yes, kind of. Randy Zuckerberg, Mark's

918
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: big sister, former director of market development at Facebook and

919
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: now a huge crypto evangelist. Mm hmm. You love to

920
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: see it, love that pipeline. The wild thing. The one

921
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: thing is you never heard of Randy zucker for you

922
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: never Wow. That's that's strange because she has a pension

923
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: for releasing really fun videos and full on parody songs

924
00:52:55,239 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: that are exclusively about crypto okay, yes, and her advice

925
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: her and her advice post. Like she even does things

926
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: like let me just kind of show you, like how

927
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: easy it is to get into crypto are on some

928
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: like wildly uncool like n f T your way to Yes,

929
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: Queen Girl Boston that's like sort of the energy of

930
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: like these quote unquote investing videos. And that's because ever

931
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: since she left Facebook, right, she says for like the

932
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: lack of women working there, which you know, I think

933
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: that's a crypto she said. But she hopped on the

934
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: crypto train to Scamville, and she is now an advisor

935
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: slash slash spokesperson for okay coin, which is a crypto

936
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: exchange that you know very well, because they they've promised

937
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: one million dollars to bring more women into crypto. I

938
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: don't even know what that more women. I don't even

939
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: know what. That could just be a scam. And then

940
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Cheryl, but crypto may

941
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: be quiet like literally bringing them somewhere. Yeah, we're trying

942
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: to get more people to crypto. It's an alternative to

943
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 1: pretty good and good crypto is just okay crypto. Yeah,

944
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: like that's fine until and also, like I like to

945
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: use promised because it's like you don't know what that means,

946
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: no checks have been cut. That's like the best like

947
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: nebulous language you can use for charitable actions, like we're

948
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: committing when we're promising one million dollar And also one million.

949
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: I feel like, for out bawling the crypto space seems

950
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: like you could probably dig int your pockets a little

951
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: bit more. But that's a whole other thing. So I

952
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: guess that's where Randy comes in, because we're trying to

953
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to bring in more women to crypto. So

00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: people's green. It's just the start. So printal dear see

995
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: why a C D B Okay, okay, just like commercials

996
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: when they try to make it like intentionally cringe so

997
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: that you keep thinking about it, like, wow, that commercial

998
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: was so so so bad. I mean, maybe I should

999
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: buy Raising Brian. I don't know. This is this is

1000
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: one of those things where somebody, somebody has so much

1001
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: money that they don't know how dumb they are, you

1002
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like fires you to think about,

1003
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: like what sorts of insane media would exist if everyone

1004
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: just had millions to just create whatever dumb ship they wanted.

1005
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I bet some very beautiful art never gets created,

1006
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: it just just to be broke. And then meanwhile Randy

1007
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: Zucker wants it is over here, just like making these

1008
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: like Fringe eight throwbacks. What the world imagine the world

1009
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: we could live in? I mean, everybody a million dollars

1010
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: to just make whatever dumb, this fun music videos they want.

1011
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: If only everyone's little brother started Facebook and just got

1012
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: me in the business, and I was a blue chip

1013
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: Facebook person and cash the funk out, and I would

1014
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: be like, I do whatever the funk I want, literally,

1015
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: including trying to mainstream and normalize getting working people into crypto.

1016
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: As if that's again, I think that's what is really

1017
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: insidious about this is the message of that song, right,

1018
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: is We're all gonna make it, and which I think, yeah,

1019
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: sums up the central myth around crypt don't It is

1020
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: seemingly a way for everyone to join in on the

1021
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: moneys in an easy way. But the truth is not

1022
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: everyone is gonna make it. Yeah. I mean, you might

1023
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: as well be doing a ad for like Caesar's Casino, like, oh,

1024
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: we're all gonna make it, you know, put down all

1025
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: your money on black black Jack Taylor, see what happens.

1026
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: That's what it is for some like Randy Zuckerberg, who

1027
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: has millions in like liquidity to just throw around and

1028
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: make these huge investments on crypto and get a return

1029
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: on it. Of course you're gonna be out here being

1030
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: like hallelujah, we're all gonna make it, but it's only

1031
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: people like you who are gonna be making this fucking money.

1032
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: And I think that all these campaigns are to just

1033
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: say we needed more people. Here, we need more people

1034
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: and here, we need more people in here right to

1035
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: inflate the value of the currencies that they own millions

1036
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: in and then make the You're in all the right

1037
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: conversations to know about this ship at the right time

1038
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: to make money off of it, but you are going

1039
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: to make a bunch of other people poorer than you.

1040
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: I do just have to say. So it's a it's

1041
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: an interesting like the videos that she made are the

1042
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: have you guys ever worked somewhere that makes a video

1043
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: like where the bosses like make a video to like

1044
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: kind of send a message or like communicate a goal

1045
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: or have you ever seen those like that? I would

1046
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: have to help make those videos, right, So this seems

1047
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: like it's the best like execution of that, But unfortunately,

1048
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: like those don't get better as the quality comes up,

1049
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: it actually gets worse because like there you realize it,

1050
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: like puts it in higher contrast that the thing missing

1051
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: is not production value, it's a soul. It's like a

1052
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: any like human humanity at the core of it, because

1053
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, very comfortable and confident on camera

1054
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: and you know, knows what she's trying to say and

1055
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: is singing the right notes. But holy sh it, it

1056
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,959
Speaker 1: is like again, I think this needs to go into

1057
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a museum that's just you know, with the like in

1058
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,439
Speaker 1: the bad side of the museum, like not the good

1059
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: side where we're gonna put the cheesecake factory menu, Like

1060
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: this goes in the wow like and this is why

1061
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: it didn't work. I mean, I mean, car pay your

1062
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: crypto d m Okay. I'm starting to wonder if the

1063
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: cringe factor is intentional in the sense that also it

1064
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: looks the second episode, the second video looks so low budget.

1065
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, we're just quirky backyard cell phone camera

1066
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: kids like you, you know, give us all your money

1067
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: to inflict this currency that we made up. Like oh't no, man,

1068
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that's I think, I mean, it's it Also, I don't know,

1069
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: like it's cringe e but also makes sense because I

1070
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: think this person is like we like we always talk about,

1071
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, when you get wealthy, you kind of get

1072
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: you kind of you're in a uh like a time

1073
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: capsule like your taste, yes, man, Echo chamber, you're in

1074
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: a time capsule. You're yeah, you don't evolve, right, And

1075
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: I think she left Facebook or around like oh, and

1076
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: that this video feels like shitty YouTube from she's still

1077
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: living in that time when she like yeah, and she

1078
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: still thinks this is cool. So it's I think, like

1079
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: in your it's genius in the sense that it could

1080
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: work with people, Like it's so craze, everybody's gonna share

1081
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: it at some level. It's like this person is like,

1082
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm naturally like this, and I guess

1083
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: it's working. I haven't grown as a person whatsoever. Since

1084
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: you see my shirt it's a whale that says n

1085
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: F t on it out of here. That was all performance.

1086
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: But people need to appreciate video one day. But yeah,

1087
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, Like I'm so profoundly depressed

1088
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: by what I've just seen. Hey, that's it. From the listeners,

1089
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: you couldn't see Jack space, but he was like staring

1090
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: morosely praying to God to end it for him. Why

1091
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: why did they come to me to die? But like

1092
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm just like seeing all the meetings where like putting

1093
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: this together where she probably had to like work with

1094
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: people who are like creative and good and like like

1095
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so silly. But like also, I think

1096
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: the way what we need to do to like really

1097
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: find out if the cringe is intentional is Mariah you

1098
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: use your music industry contacts, reach out to her and

1099
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: be like, we saw the video. We want to offer

1100
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you a record deal. Yeah, and see if she's like yes, yeah,

1101
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: we'll see all right, I don't know, Yeah, we'll see

1102
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: about it. I'll let you, I'll follow up, let you

1103
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: know how it goes. Yeah, we need to. I'm glad.

1104
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: There's also you know, there's a there's a new frank

1105
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: stallone in town. You know. In terms of just embarrassing siblings, Yeah,

1106
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: we do have to mention what's happening in the chat

1107
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: right now, right, I have to hear about this. So

1108
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Justin's that's something you're comfortable talking about. Sure, I think,

1109
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: um so, so alright, so real quickly let people know

1110
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: what we're even referencing. Person So as we were talking

1111
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: about those corporate videos where you know, I think there

1112
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: was a video of like a Bank of America song

1113
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: that was like a parody of some song, but it

1114
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: was like sung really heartfelt. That really sticks in my

1115
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: heart and soul as being like a low point of

1116
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: my life prior to watching the videos of Myles just

1117
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: showed me. But as we were talking about that, justin

1118
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: put in the chat, my dad was in a fake

1119
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: corporate band for McDonald's in the eighties. So do you

1120
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: want to talk about that? Yeah, I need to know,

1121
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: I definitely need to know. So my dad was in

1122
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: a band with his older brother and my godfather shout

1123
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: out Uncle Bobby and Uncle Cavan, And they had a

1124
01:04:55,560 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: manager who was in the corporate world, I guess a

1125
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: little bit. He was also a singer. He did a

1126
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: little bit of it all and he got them this

1127
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: gig where him and my godfather were teamed up with

1128
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: this fake band for a McDonald's corporation video, just an

1129
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: internal video that they shared amongst like all of the

1130
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: however many tens of thousands employees that McDonald's had at

1131
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the time in the eighties. I can't remember exactly what

1132
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: year it was, but my dad had full what he

1133
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: would not describe as Jerry Curl but looks suspiciously like one.

1134
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: Um and um, I mean I'm talking like leather outfits.

1135
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking, you know, like too much fog machine happening,

1136
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: just a lot of the hokey is eighties music video

1137
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: vibes you can you can imagine. And he showed me

1138
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: the video actually in my most recent trip back to Chicago,

1139
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: and me and him just sat there and bonded for like,

1140
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: oh man, maybe like two hours about just him and

1141
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: a concept album he came up with and this all this,

1142
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff he was doing in the eighties,

1143
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: and oh, I don't know how deep I want to

1144
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: get into this um because you yeah, but it was

1145
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: all the way, baby, let's go. It was interesting to

1146
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: say the least. Yeah, if anybody wants another problem with capitalism,

1147
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: instead of having your dad's brilliant concept album, we have

1148
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the McDonald's corporate pair with yeah you know, yeah uscle.

1149
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, I'm just saying the system sucks. What

1150
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: were the songs about? It was about so I think

1151
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: one was an original original. I'm pretty sure some guy

1152
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: in eleven other writers in the corporate office came up

1153
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: with it, and then the other one was a cover.

1154
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: And I think I had a stroke and permanently deleted

1155
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: these songs from my mind because they were so mind

1156
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: alteringly like just so just like the video clips we

1157
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: just played. I was it was hard. My dad was

1158
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: having a ball though, and that I was getting a

1159
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: kick out of that. He would turn to the cameras,

1160
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Oh here goes my sexy look, and he was just

1161
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: like camera and it was amazing and I just had

1162
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: fun watching him relive his history. But he was just

1163
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: excited about the Moneys, Like the money was great. Bro.

1164
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: They put us in a five star hotel, they flew

1165
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: us out to. They did a shoot in Chicago, and

1166
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: then that shoot went so well that they did another

1167
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: shoot in California. And it was supposed to be a

1168
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: band that was There was a whole narrative where they were.

1169
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean they shot at like a sitcom. It's like

1170
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: a multi camera sitcom for a little bit. They they

1171
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: had like internal struggles. They were like showing the writing

1172
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: process of how this band got together and it was

1173
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: coming up with the song. You were in the recording

1174
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,919
Speaker 1: studio with him. Was like a documentary, but it wasn't real.

1175
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: It was so it's like the new like Beatles Dock

1176
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: that just came out. It's like and then but only

1177
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: for McDonald's. Yeah, and only for employees within the company,

1178
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: like it was an appreciation video for them somehow. I'm

1179
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: not sure how that translated, but we need to see.

1180
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: The thing that really grinds my gears about this whole

1181
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,439
Speaker 1: story is the fact that they did not release these

1182
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: to the general public. No, sad they have deprived us.

1183
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: It's great, I'll have to I'll see if I can

1184
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: get my dad to send me a copy. I don't

1185
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: think we can play it, but I will share it

1186
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: with you guys, just so we can all experience it together. Yeah. Yeah,

1187
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: we'll re enact it for you to avoid any litigation.

1188
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: That's thank you so much for sharing them with us,

1189
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: and we we will hunt that video down. If you

1190
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: have the video, let us know, by the way, if

1191
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: you want to watch something that like the thing I

1192
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: was referring to that I just remembered, was that too.

1193
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: There's a corporate retreat where two Bank of American employees

1194
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: seeing a version of one by you two very heartfelt,

1195
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: but it's about a like marketing initiative that the Bag

1196
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: of America has coming up. And it's like, if you

1197
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: think that it's surreal to like go back and watch

1198
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: that Lo Lo lo video of the guy just being

1199
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: like la la and be like what the funk kind

1200
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: of weird place with the Soviet Union, Like this video

1201
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: is like that, but way more depressing. These guys like

1202
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: are singing like they have like you know, pain in

1203
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: their heart about the new Bank of America one initiative.

1204
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: It's it's sucks so bad, it's amazing. Okay, you can't.
