21
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: this is gonna be kind of a test of my

22
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: outdoor skills. And then first night I was like so

23
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: so overconfident on the river. We'll just say this. It

24
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: was a combination of stormy weather, over confidence, and alcohol.

25
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I that story is great being in

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: a storm on a like on a canoe trip. The

27
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: last time I was like, my life was like suspended

28
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: by an injury. I think it was from like a

29
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: sneeze throughout my back. Yeah. That's what sucks about getting older.

30
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: It's like you get injured. It it's like, oh, I

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: just like got up too fast or I just like

32
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: sat down weird, and now my back is out. I

33
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: had a hip like I always thought like knees. It

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: was like a bad old person thing. But like my

35
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: hip is starting to hurt. When I after, I like

36
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: go for a run and that that makes you feel real,

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: real fucking old man. God, I hurt my I hurt

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: my neck comforting my brother on a roller coaster. My

39
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: brother's twenty four years old, but he was really scared.

40
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: What coaster was it? Do you remember? Yeah? It was

41
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: in um it was at six Flags, New England, and

42
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: it was the Wicked Cyclone. We went on the most

43
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: New England roller Core it was and it was awesome,

44
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: It was so good. But I forgot My brother is

45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: like has historically for his entire life been terrified of

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: roller coasters and was kind of going on to appease me,

47
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, he was upset. Roller coasters are so fun,

48
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: They're so good. I was like, your coaster head, I'm

00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: starting to be a coaster had I was when I

Speaker 1: was a kid. And then I just did a bunch

51
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: of roller coasters recently and that they were really fun.

52
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,280

00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,760

66
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: That's literally it. That's the only thing on my mind

00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,840

Speaker 1: And I'm just like dying for them to show up

72
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: so I can bring that negative attitude to York, to

73
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the attitude that New York deserves. I'm bringing them to them,

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, reflected back, you know, yeah, exactly what

75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: are you doing in New York? Are you doing any

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: stand up? I'm headlining the Bellhouse July the Saturday, actually Saturday,

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: been New York since two thousand nineteen. I haven't performed

79
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: there that since then, and I'm just like so fucking humped,

80
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: and um, I would love if the Daily is like, guys,

81
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: listeners came. I know some of you hate me, but

82
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: something tells me the New York listeners fucking love me.

83
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Come out. New York Listeners is definitely fun with you

84
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: the We definitely we had a show in Brooklyn and

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the listeners came out and there was definitely like you

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: know that we had a couple come up on stage.

87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: There was definitely like some good energy there, some good energy.

88
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: What happened when they come on stage. So we just

89
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: like had a sort of interactive part where they had

90
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: to take a quiz. The show is about the year

91
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: two thousand or dorks and we we just like to

92
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: like insert school as much as possible into anything like

93
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: so these are people going out having some drinks somewhere, like,

94
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: let's let's do something school like I still heads up

95
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: seven up and then quiz them on it. Oh my god,

96
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: a great live show vibe. I need absolute silence. We're

97
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: on our rainy day schedule, New York, get in here

98
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and do this quiz. That's fun. Um. I think this

99
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: is kind of like a cliche thing for stand ups

100
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: to talk about, but like, what, what do you feel

101
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: like the differences between l A and New York crowds. Well,

102
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: it's interesting because now New York is so heavily gentrified

103
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: that you can communely talent difference anymore. So sometimes some

104
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: of the shows can be kind of whacked because you

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: get those like overly sensitive, gentrifying types that are like,

106
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, they wear the Black Lives Matter pin but

107
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: pin but they you know, they they kick some people

108
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: out of their homes and they don't even realize that

109
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: they're part of the problem. You know, that that type

110
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: of liberal which is like they're not the best audience

111
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: to have in comedy. But in the past, like maybe

112
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: whatever might even like three as soon as three four

113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: years ago, the audiences in New York their fucking book wild.

114
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: They cannot be up offended. They don't give a fuck,

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: and it's the best. And I implore those people please

116
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: come to my show on Saturday, because y'all are the

117
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: fun best, like real deal New Yorkers or people who

118
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: have lived in New York long enough that they have

119
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: the mentality of a New Yorker, but not these like

120
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: newer gentrifiers. They're the fucking worst. And there that's how

121
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: the l A comedy scene is, where it's like people

122
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: who are two cents. You know. The other thing about

123
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: l A people go because they know celebrities are usually

124
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: at the comedy clubs because they are like not just

125
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: on stage but I remember one time Drake was at

126
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: the comedy store, like watching a comedy show in this

127
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: big gas room in the main room, and and it

128
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: was a black show, you know, Like he went there

129
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: because he wanted to see good ass black comics do

130
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: good ass black comedy, and that's just good comedy. Let

131
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: me just make sure to clarify that don't want anybody

132
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: to talk to no ship about the way I wore things.

133
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: But like the second somebody pointed him out, that was

134
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: it for the show. Everyone just like got up and

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: was trying to see him, wanted to take pictures, and

136
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: it was like, why why would you mention him? He

137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: being here like that ruins the show for the comics.

138
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: But it's also like so common. And then sometimes I

139
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: get the laugh Factory. They get so many celebrities that

140
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: come hang out that people are kind of used to it.

141
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: They don't even give a fuck. So it goes both

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: ways sometimes. But the celebrity in the audience and on

143
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: stage can be kind of distracting in l A. But

144
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: in New York you don't see that. Like they thing

145
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: I like about New York audiences is they love a

146
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: grimy comic. You know, like when They're a good comedy audience.

147
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: They fucking love weirdo ship, experimental ship. You can put

148
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: any style of comic on stage and they love it.

149
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: That's not true for l A, California and general. Yeah,

150
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: my favorite kind of stand up comedy is watching Drake

151
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: watch a stand up comedy seem stand up experience. Yeah,

152
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: that seems like it needs to be filtered through through Drake.

153
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Can you imagine like looking at what Drake Laft said,

154
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Drake, it's really funny. You know, the

155
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: hose are in full effect. Yeah, so much pressure on

156
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Drake to like, I don't know that that would feel

157
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: weird to be like watching I feel like he loves

158
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I feel like he likes that ship. I feel like

159
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: he likes that you guys leave Drake alone. I don't

160
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: think he wants to be I think he loves that

161
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: goofy attention. Yeah, I'm picturing myself being like having people

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: watch me and see like whether I am laughing at something,

163
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: And that's definitely me and Drake have a lot in come.

164
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm always shocked when you laugh out loud at something

165
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: I say. Like, when you laugh, I'm just like, oh

166
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: my god, I have to look at him laugh because

167
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: he never laughs. That's what That's what I messed about

168
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: being in studio. No, you're not You're not a big laugher.

169

00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: do there, it is, I mean him laugh, But I

172
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: made him laugh about himself. That's just the narcissism. I

173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: don't even think that was funny. Yeah, you can just

174
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: say anything about me and it'll it'll get a big reaction.

175
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Jack is a huge dick. Damn it supposed to say

176
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: it's funny because it's true. But we all know the truth.

177
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Come on, what's something? Get over it? Billionaires? Come on, man,

178
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I know you guys have been talking about that.

179
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I won't talk about it. I won't talk about billionaires.

180
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say one thing, one thing about him,

181
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: because I know you guys. I'm sure on this podcast

182
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: you guys have just been talking about billionaires. Do you

183
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: want to fucking barn never? Never? Never? We wish them

184
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: the best. Were kind of like the Washington Post here

185
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: and that we think what Jeff Bezos is doing is

186
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: really cool. Actually it's actually good, super fucking tight. Yeah,

187
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: it's coolness. It's coolness research, Yes, exactly, see how cool

188
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: it is? And he said it was cool. Can a

189
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: fifty five year old man pull off a cowboy hat?

190
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Is one of the things that he was researching any cooler?

191
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: So anyway, I was just I just have been talking

192
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a lot about that on um We've been talking a

193
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: lot about that on Coldbrew. Got me like my podcast

194
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: just because see what I did there, Well done, well done,

195
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,359
Speaker 1: because because like I just think that the most outrageous

196
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: thing is that they keep trying to throw in this

197
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: like that they are doing research of some sort, Like

198
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: they didn't bring any stuff. You can see right in

199
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: the space capsule, there's like nothing in there at all.

200
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: Nothing to quote myself, They've just made space the v

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: I P room of a club. Yeah, that's all it is.

202
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: It's like, I guess where I'm dancing, asshole guessing. I

203
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: bet you're not dancing weightless at one Oak or whatever

204
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: they fucking party at now. I don't know the lux

205
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: or I like using antique things like you know, I

206
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: bet you're not I bet you're not waitless at the

207
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: hottest nightclub in the world of the luxe or in

208
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Vegas on the top of the luxe or pyramid anyway.

209
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think that the fact that the

210
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: most outrageous thing to me, even more outrageous than the

211
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: cowboy hat, even more outrageous than those fucking five dollars

212
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: space suits that they were wearing. And you know, they

213
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: are a pure theater. There's no reason they're just going

214
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: in a high plane. They're not even going to real space.

215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: They don't need to space suit. They can wear their

216
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: street clothes. And just someone pointed out that, you know,

217
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the Jeff Bezos, saying, we're excited to see what we

218
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: find out, Like that's they've never they we've had a

219
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: space shuttle before. We've had a space shuttle that took

220
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: up equipment and stuff. You don't even bring any equipment

221
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: they could throw around, Yes, confirms I just want to

222
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: highlight the fact that their spaceships are empty. You can

223
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: see them. Yeah, we want to find out. And people

224
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: pointed out also that high balloons have gone to that

225
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: part of the atmosphere. There's nothing what we're gonna find out.

226
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out that you're a dicky. That's all

227
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: you and your friends are a bunch of dicks and

228
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: Richard Branson uses shell companies to avoid fucking taxes. That's

229
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: what we're gonna find out. Yeah, truth bomb. Yeah, I

230
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: don't know, yes, yes, oh, yes, that's boring. I know

231
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Billionaires is boring, But I mean it worked in a

232
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: certain respect because like when you look at I think

233
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: there was there was a statistic that one morning of

234
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos going to space got as much coverage as

235
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: climate change got for the entire year, like one more traveling.

236
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: So I mean it's just like the mainstream media bought it,

237
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: bought it, hook line and sinker. Well, they need something,

238
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: they need something every two minutes. This model, this model

239
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: of getting people a click on stuff, there's no way

240
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: to go twenty four hours of needing new clicks. This

241
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: just leads to yes, stories about what's coming up on

242
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: the show, like a horse visiting people in the hospital.

243
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: And also you know, it's like they need that stuff.

244
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: They probably that's probably not even a horse. It's probably

245
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: like news producers and I goddamn suit a horse suit,

246
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: just like we need a story. It's been five minutes

247
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: since something horrible happened. Are you sure? Are you sure? No?

248
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: One's electrocuted themselves in Bulgaria because people don't care. It's

249
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: just one. But then just say people in Bulgaria are

250
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: getting electrocuted, make it bigger. There you go. What is

251
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? King and Queen of my

252
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: last week and honestly, if I'm being my last year,

253
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: ice packs? Honey child darling, if you don't have an

254
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: ice pack in your freezer at all times, ready for

255
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: you to use for your enjoyment, change your life by

256
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: adding an ice pack bag of peas will do it.

257
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: You don't gotta go spending for some things, but you will.

258
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Eventually you'll be like, yeah, I don't want that. She'll

259
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: be at ice pack. But start with by just grabbing

260
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: vegetables you don't want to eat and placing them on

261
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: your body. I'm listen to the old woman talking to you,

262
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: young child in growth in years, preventative care is all

263
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: the rage. You doing it for your beautiful face, kin,

264
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: do it for your sweet sweet joints. You don't need

265
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: an ice pack altways, that doesn't mean you shouldn't write

266
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: for one. What if your pleasure in place? I just

267
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: wear an ice pack occasionally. All the cool athletes do it.

268
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Ice packs are cool, y'all? Ice packs are something like

269
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: a cool ice pack, like a like a like a

270
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: le Bron ice pack doesn't have one probably end. I

271
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: feel like, well, there's like those hyper ice you know,

272
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: there are ones that athletes use that are definitely like

273
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: on the next level. But yeah, it's like made in

274
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: a lab somewhere like the fare gun and things. I'm like,

275
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: do I need five Do I need to spend five

276
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: dollars for this? Am I need that kind of condition?

277
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I'll be like I'll just take the thing from when

278
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: I order something that was frozen on the internet and

279
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: just keep those. Yeah, the grocery delivery ice pack, that's

280
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: just like a block of that's a free ice pack.

281
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: You just free ice pack. Those are ice packs. They

282
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: were test my theory. See if it's for you, shout

283
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: out to Zeight Gang. When we had our lives in Toronto,

284
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: there was a listener from Montreal who brought Montreal smoked

285
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: meats and gave it to us, and it gave with

286
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: all these ice packs. He's like, I think they should

287
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: be fine for the flight back, Like they're pretty stable,

288
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: they're smoked me And I'm like, great, I saved those

289
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: fucking ice packs. Baby, yeah, I still international ice packs.

290
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: I haven't been my freezer. I use them all the time.

291
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: That's how ice down my vaccine shot. Oh yeah, see

292
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I just think we forget if we're achy

293
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: or headache or feel shitty that you actually can't do

294
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: something about it. Free right now, that works, right now,

295
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: there's just like nice relief kind of all around you. Sometimes,

296
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: So when the stressful ice pack is under rated, the

297
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: cheapest air conditioner is a soaking wet hand towel. You

298
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: rang out backs on it and put it on your back,

299
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: on your straight back, and you lay on your stomach

300
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: on the tile floor. Baby, anybody in the heat waves,

301
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: you get you get yourself little spray bottle and you

302
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: just pray your sheets. You're sleeping only under the top

303
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: sheet anyway, you just you just break that top sheet.

304
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: It's not wet. It's just sort of like that really

305
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: just like damn. Yeah, nobody likes damp. Nobody wants a

306
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: damp sheet. Moist sheet also not great sprints. Let's go

307
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: with sprints. I was gonna say, I was gonna recommend

308
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: three ice packs because you have to like cycle them

309
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: in and out and so you have the waters out

310
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: and then it gets warm, and then you have the ice.

311
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: Just want the domino over right. Yeah, that will become

312
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: clear to the ice pack user as it becomes a

313
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: deeper part of their life. But then I was told

314
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: that you're actually not supposed to like perpetually have ice

315
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: on any part of your body, like for too long

316
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: a period at times. So, uh, you want to do

317
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: like you're definitely not yeah, yeah yeah at most tell

318
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: you yeah, unless you're like when people like I want

319
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: to go numb. Yeah, I don't dry ice on your body.

320
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: Whenever you're putting your body, your body is gonna warm

321
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit, so will naturally, you know, fifteen

322
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: or twenty minutes is about the maximum ice can sit

323
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: on a nine point six degree object anyway, So you're

324
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: you're all right. I even had a haircut since Lants March.

325
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: So I am trying to hang out with the gang

326
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: and actually look at you and enjoy this digital meeting

327
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: that we are having together to record this podcast, and

328
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: are if I could do another stand in bit, I

329
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: am the Adams family cousin at stand in I can't

330
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't get cast as cousin Itt. But I couldn't

331
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: stand there while they set the cameras. Or you look

332
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: like a side character like in a cartoon about like hippies,

333
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: or like there's like that one character who's like hair

334
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: was so shaggy, like you never saw their face. Yeah, yeah,

335
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: but I still, yeah, I'm hungry some nineties conservative yuppies

336
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: like idea of a hippie exactly cut their hair and

337
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: you can't even see on their hair. All right, let's

338
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back breaking and

339
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: we're back and Fox News. Let's talk about Fox News.

340
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: We've been speculating for the past, Like last week there

341
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: was this turn right where suddenly Sean Hannity fucked with

342
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: a vaccine like some of the people on the Fox

343
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Morning Show. We're talking about how the vaccine works, which

344
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: was new, you know, like their party line had been

345
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: like we're just asking questions here, but who's to say

346
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: if the vaccine works or not, like just real like

347
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: the same the same ship you hear from anti baxers.

348
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: It's just a difference of opinion. What you you guys

349
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: are gonna thought control? Ben Shapiro, Oh, thanks, I was

350
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: trying to do Tucker Carlson, so we're going for Charlie Kirk,

351
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: whoa okay, like open to interpretation the share of voice.

352
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: So anyways, we were wondering, like, did somebody threaten them

353
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: with a lawsuit, because that's like what made them change

354
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: their tune when it came to the big lie and like,

355
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: but whether the voting machines had like stolen votes from

356
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Trump and then you know that they were open to

357
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: that story until the voting machine company was like, hey,

358
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: we're suing you for two billion dollars and then suddenly

359
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: they were just like reading statements on air. So we

360
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: were wondering if that happened with COVID and with vaccinations.

361
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: We still don't know the answer to that, but we

362
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: do know that they can be sued. A legal expert

363
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: for Slate it was basically explaining that they're open to

364
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: a lawsuit if somebody dies from COVID because they didn't

365
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: get vaccinated after watching Tucker Carlson's show. They can be

366
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: sued under the common law theory of fraud. So basically,

367
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: you just have to prove that the defendant made a

368
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: misstatement of fact knowing that it was false, or with

369
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: reckless disregard as to whether it was true or false. Okay,

370
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: So the so it's like contingent on them being too

371
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: being able to prove that Fox News knew it was

372
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: bullshit when they were saying it, Yeah, or just didn't

373
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: do the work to find it out, like reckless disregard

374
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: the defendant did no investigation at all, but just put

375
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: the statement out there. Yeah, And I mean we in

376
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: addition to you know, being obvious that they like the

377
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: information is just everywhere and they're supposed to be a

378
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: journalistic institution. We talked last week about how they have

379
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: a clear pass that they are using behind the scenes

380
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: at Fox News that like shows that like you can

381
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: you can only work if you have had the vaccine,

382
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: so they know like they're operating on a day to

383
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: day basis and in a world where the vaccine works,

384
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: and then coming on the air and uh saying things

385
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: like just a list of a couple of the things

386
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: we have Tucker Carlson saying that COVID is really about

387
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: social control and questioning whether the vaccine works since those

388
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated are still urged to take precautions, maybe

389
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't work and they're simply not telling you that. So, yeah,

390
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: that man needs to be put through a shredder, just

391
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: like industrial shredder. Very Midwest of you to go far big.

392
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: It's been everyone, it's weird and everyone everyone's backyard here

393
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: there's a gigantic shredder. So it's just been on my

394
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: mind right with a leg hanging out of it in

395
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: case you sin? Yeah? How what is the kind of

396
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: COVID masking vibe where you guys are in California? It

397
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: seems like people have gotten the message. They've also like

398
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: changed the law in southern California or in l A

399
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: County saying that you have to wear a mask? Are

400
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: you is? Are people still wearing masks? And Wisconsin and

401
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: d C. No, it as demonstrated by the Bucks game

402
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: the other night. No one is wearing a mask. You can't.

403
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: Like I have seen people choosing to wear masks, like

404
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: at the gas station and stuff, and unlike the last

405
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: time I was here, people are no longer making fun

406
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: of you if you are wearing a mask in public.

407
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: So I view that as um as progress. That's pretty cool. Yeah,

408
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: I get relentlessly bullied. Christ that's so like, who cares

409
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: if if you, if you're a stranger, is wearing a mask,

410
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: who cares? And also even way before COVID, people who

411
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: had like, um, you know, like who are you know compromised?

412
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Were mask My dad wore masks to travel way before COVID,

413
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: So like who cares? Like what is it your business

414
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: if somebody if you got to bully them or have

415
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: have an opinion about it? What do you care if

416
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: someone that you don't know in public is wearing a mask?

417
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: How does it impact your life? It's very bizarre. Yeah,

418
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: there was like a remember a guy giving me just

419
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: a minute long, little little song and dance about like

420
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: are you going to rob my business? Because bandits wear masks?

421
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: And I was like do you want I mean to

422
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: buy a diapepsi here or not there? Like I don't

423
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: know what your end game is. I mean that is

424
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: when there's a One of our listeners said that their

425
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: favorite wing place now prohibits masks because of the risk

426
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: of robbery, which is there. There's just very it seems

427
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: like things have turned to the anti vaxxing and anti

428
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: masking people now like going on the offensive, like being

429
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: like you can't you you can't stay at our Airbnb

430
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: if you are vaccinated, and like being aggressively against masks.

431
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: I think Tucker Carls another thing where he was like,

432
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: if you see somebody wearing a mask around your child,

433
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: you should call the police. So sure, yeah, it's responsibly.

434
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: Advocating for the misuse of publics service is totally very responsible.

435
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: How is DC? DC is interesting? I will say DC

436
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: like we are by and large a city of people

437
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: who like just want to follow the rules. Were like, fine,

438
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: whatever it is we're supposed to do. Fine. I do

439
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: think with the masking, I think people are confused, right,

440
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't. DC is not a place where people

441
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: are gonna where most people, I should say, are gonna

442
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: be anti mask or for the sake of being anti masker.

443
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: I think that when we got that federal guidance that

444
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: you didn't have to wear masks indoors if you were vaccinated,

445
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: I think that that frankly, I mean, I'm no medical professional,

446
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: but I think that that probably confused a lot of people.

447
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: So mean, like when you go to Target and stores

448
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood in d C and Columbia Heights, they

449
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: still have the sign saying like please wear a mask.

450
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that people are trying to pooh pooh,

451
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: you know that that guidance, But I just think the

452
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: federal guidance be or the federal messaging being though you

453
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: don't need to wear masks, has just confused everybody. So

454
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: I would say, when I go into the grocery store

455
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: in DC, see now it's probably half people wearing masks

456
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: and have people not. I don't think the people who

457
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: are not wearing masks, I don't think they're trying to

458
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: be like anti mask whatever, because that's not really a

459
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: prevalent thing, particularly in my area of DC. I just

460
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: think people are confused, and we've got too much conflicting

461
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: guidance and people don't know what to do. Like we

462
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: we don't really have one unifying message, even though our

463
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: local guidance still is like wear a mask inside. It's

464
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: just I think people are confused. Yeah, no, for sure,

465
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: I I think that's totally fair about it about the masking.

466
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: But the the vaccine stuff seems pretty It seems like

467
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: now everybody is being pretty clear about that. Even Alabama

468
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Governor k I Vy is saying folks are supposed to

469
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: have common sense, but it's time to start blaming the

470
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It's the unvaccinated folks

471
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: that are letting us down. You know, she's somebody who

472
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: ended the state's mask mandate early, and it's chosen not

473
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: to spend the state emergency COVID fund on like incentive programs.

474
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: So like, this is definitely another situation where like Republicans

475
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: are coming around on something that like should not have

476
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: required any convincing but oh yeah, and to to that point,

477
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: this is the same person who in you know, not

478
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: too long ago, was spreading unfounded fears about things like

479
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: vaccine passports, right, like they pretend like k Ivy did

480
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: not spend a good portion of the year politicizing vaccines

481
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: and you know, downplaying the need to get them and

482
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: really spreading irresponsible hysteria, putting her own constituents at risk

483
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: by spreading unfounded claims about vaccines and how they were

484
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: going to be administered. And so, you know, I'm happy

485
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: to see that she's come around to the side of

486
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: common sense. But instead of blaming her unvaccinated constituents, she

487
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: didn't want to look in the mirror and wonder where

488
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: folks are getting from kind of panic and hysteria from

489
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: And what maybe did she do that that actually caused that.

490
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: And you know, Jack earlier, you we're talking about Fox

491
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: News and you use the word fraud. I think that

492
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: more and more we need to see people that push

493
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: nonsense about our public health, about our elections as the

494
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: fraudsters and the scammers that they are. Tucko Krausen, he

495
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: knows that vaccines are safe. If that if the vaccine

496
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: guidance from you know, Fox News as an organization to

497
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: work for is correct, he probably has been vaccinated himself.

498
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: I saw him doing a whole song and dance about

499
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: how it was the most offensive question to ask he

500
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: was vaccinated. But the bottom line is, people like Tucker

501
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Carlson are making money by pushing dangerous lies. And we

502
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: have a word for that. It's a scammer, it's a fraudster.

503
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: And so this is not a you know, a debate

504
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: or two sides issue. These people are scammers and fraudsters

505
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: and they're making money off of pushing people dangerous, dangerous

506
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: anti science ideas to people that can get people killed.

507
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: And I really am happy to see people using language

508
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: like fraud and scam to call out these obvious scammers

509
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: and fraudsters. Yeah, yeah, I mean this thing with k

510
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: i Vy is it's I mean, it's not the world,

511
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: but it's it's way too late for her to try

512
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to do, you know, like a face turn at this

513
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: point in the way she's handled this, where there's absolutely

514
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ridiculous to expect a public official to

515
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: take accountability for anything, but yeah, just to act like

516
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: the reason that people are unvaccinated in her state exists

517
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: entirely in a void that has nothing to do with her.

518
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: It's just nothing ridiculous, Like it's yeah, I mean, it's

519
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: the Republican ideal of everything is like personal accountability and

520
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: like personal like and nothing has to do with any

521
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: sort of group based or like public Uh, it's such

522
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: a double like it's like you have to trust Republican

523
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: leadership implicitly or leadership implicitly in general, but if you

524
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: are misguided by leadership, it's your fault whatever happens to you. Like, yeah,

525
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: it seems unfair. It's probably better that she is doing

526
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: this than her you know, staying on the same path

527
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: she was on before, but obviously not somebody who belongs

528
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: in a position making public policy. Another thing about COVID,

529
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: which is interesting because Carl you're talking about how you

530
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: know your identities and there was only one person working.

531
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Is this constant sort of screaming about a labor shortage.

532
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: That's like nobody wants to work because they're getting benefits

533
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: and they're getting unemployment benefits and they're just loafing around. Okay,

534
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: that's We've all seen the studies that say these people

535
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: are not just collecting a check in kicking back. Many

536
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: people are actually taking advantage of this social safety net.

537
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: The fact that they could have benefits means they have

538
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: they don't have the pressure to take just any old

539
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: job that's going to screw them over because they're The

540
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: pandemic has given many people the perspective of like what

541
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: work should look like, or what it means to work,

542
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: or what you deserve to work. And because of that,

543
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: just this trend of people leaving their jobs has not stopped,

544
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: like it's continuing. A lot of people are just being like,

545
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm I need to find another job, and if and

546
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: and again because they have the ability the flexibility with

547
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: these benefits to just say, you know what, you don't

548
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: need to you don't need to actually have a job

549
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: right now. You can take some time to look at

550
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: what you want to do that is being categorized as

551
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: a labor shortage. Yeah, I think it is like a

552
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: really it's been interesting to kind of watch this developed too,

553
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 1: because I feel like it kind of like unravels a

554
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of the like bootstrap mentality that most of us

555
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: are raised with of like, well, you have to like

556
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: if you don't have a job, even if you hate it,

557
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: even if you're treated like ship, even if you're not

558
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: given any benefits and you don't make enough money to live,

559
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: like interpreting that as a personal failing versus a systemic one.

560
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: And the past year has like just laid that all

561
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: out if if it wasn't something that you had, you know,

562
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of pieced together already that people are just like, well, no,

563
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: this is clearly a systemic failure. And there are already

564
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like there are so few social safety nets

565
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: as it is that it's like, of course people are

566
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna use this, like it's that's what it's sucking for. Yeah,

567
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody you know who has worked retail server

568
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: job or whatever, it's it's bad, the money isn't good,

569
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: and the sort of the constant deferential behavior you have

570
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: to adopt to the customer is will grind your soul down,

571
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: especially when people are screaming in your face about nothing

572
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: that's not your problem and you're just they're trying to

573
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: do your job too, And you know, the we're seeing

574
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: like this sort of there's just two forces, right. There's

575
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: the business owners who are like, where the funk are

576
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: they at? I got my less than fifteen dollars an

577
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: hour I'm offering, and they're not coming back because I'm

578
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: not I'm not going to change my fucking business model

579
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: and say, oh I'm gonna you know what, people are

580
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: asking for a living wage, Well, that starts to cut

581
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: down on my profits and I know, and for smaller businesses,

582
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's tricky math too, because sometimes you're already

583
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: dealing with razor within margins. Which is why I feel

584
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: like business owners too should implore the government to have

585
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: things like universal health care, because that's a cost that

586
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: would be taken off an employer's plate. You know, there's

587
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: ways that they can also participate in, you know, advocating

588
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: better for everybody. But and then on the other side,

589
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: you have the workers who are just saying, like this,

590
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: we cannot work for sub subsistence wages. I can't go

591
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: to a place where this one job isn't going to

592
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: support me. I don't. I can't work two and three

593
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: jobs just to be able to have an apartment that's

594
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: too small and barely enough food and have nothing to say.

595
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, and really, what

596
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: this is people are just begging for and screaming for

597
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: is a real just like just having a reckoning with

598
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: what we consider like labor, what we consider essential and

599
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: what that means in terms of what you are paid,

600
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, right, like if you're if you're working an

601
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: essential job, you should be able to work one job

602
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: and live and have benefits that you can like it

603
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: that it's just it's so obvious. But I really hope

604
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: that there is like some sort of change that's forced here.

605
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: And my my fear is that the social safety net

606
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: will just be scaled back so people are forced back

607
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: in their jobs. And I really, really really hope that

608
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: what workers are, you know, organizing are just making individual

609
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: choices to do right now, actually does push for better

610
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: conditions and better money. Yeah. Also, Miles, I wanted to,

611
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, give you a shout out because you lost

612

620
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy a second of it. Well, the problem

621
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: was you weren't putting in enough hours to get those

622
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: our bonuses. I told you that would actually get you

623
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: to that fIF sort of ways that I promised, and

624
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: very easy to get, very easy to get COVID in

625
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: shoe buckle industry, Oh yeah, especially when you're trying someone

626
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: on for shoe buckles, you are in coughing trajectory just

627
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: beneath someone's knees to be like what about this, and

628
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: like just talking at you. It can be an infection vector.

629
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: And I apologize that we didn't open. We weren't really

630
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: open for more than a week, But yes, studio Studio

631
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: City Shoe Buckles is no more um and I will

632
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: be back though, worry not, because this is America, and

633
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: I'll find some way to grift some money to start

634
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: another business. But yeah, this like essential stuff. It really

635
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: feels like at a minimum, we could, at the very

636
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: least say, if something is essential, that has to be

637
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: a job, that that can be your only job and

638
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: you can afford to have. You could be a single

639
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: parent and you could have two kids and you can

640
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: still put a roof and mutton food and everything and

641
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: with your one job. But I think a lot of

642
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: it because we've whittled away so many social safety nets.

643
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the middle of the last century

644
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: that things that were like used to be free, like college,

645
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: became cash grabs when like Ronald Reagan's like, hey man,

646
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: like you know, like you can kind of start charging

647
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: people for like you c schools, you know what I mean,

648
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: And that gave all the other public schools across the

649
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: country the idea that, oh, yeah, now we can squeeze

650
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: people for a little bit of money here. You know, actually,

651
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: if you cut this part back of medical care, you know,

652
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: they'll pick that up and people won't really notice, and

653
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: you'll actually make a lot more money. We've whittled all

654
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: these things back, because if you think about it, ask

655
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: your grandparents if they're still with us, or your parents

656
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: people had you could have been a custodian and supported

657
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: an entire family just being a custodian because there were

658
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: another there were enough and had retirement money, like yeah, yeah,

659
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: And it's a completely different era now, and now we're

660
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: looking at things like that and just saying like, oh,

661
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: essential that means essentially you're fucked. That's pretty much what

662
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: it means now. And I think maybe someone will clap

663
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: for you as you pass to go to your job

664
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: where you're not paid enough to live. Yeah, Like businesses

665
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: should be like hey, if you come through with your

666
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: like essential worker thing, like you drink for free, you

667
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you eat for free? Like

668
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: I feel like, but these are these are the the

669
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: situation or in everybody go outside and bang your pot

670
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: to eight o'clock. Yeah, yeah, like what, well, No, I

671
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: think these people just rather have like the healthcare paid

672
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: for and like adequate childcare. No. No, I'm like fuck,

673
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: So again this realignment or hopefully there'll be some kind

674
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: of realignment in terms of what we're calling labor these days.

675
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: But you know, as things get closer, you know, unemployment

676
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: benefits are due to be cut off fairly soon, and

677
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna put about forty million people under some more pressure.

678
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: And we'll see what happens then. And you know, I

679
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of organizations, especially around labor, are talking

680
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: about like we need real organized labor strikes, like we

681
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: really need to be able to organize around that to

682
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: try and create some pressure and put that on the

683
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: business owning community and our representatives and government to realize

684
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: fuck like it's it's it's yeah, I guess it's that bad,

685
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know from my perspective as a millionaire

686
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: in Congress, it's hard to see. All right, well, let's

687
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: let's pivot off of that and go to a break

688
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this to talk about

689
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: Trump's Kingmaking Street and we're back. So there was a

690
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: cook out. Someone noticed that the children who are at

691
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: this cook got under the age of ten. We're acting weird,

692
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: quote unquote, And it turned out they had eaten a

693
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: bunch of edibles that they thought were just regular. I mean,

694
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: when you look at the packaging. They couldn't look anymore

695
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: like the watermelon Sara Patch kids. Not only is the

696
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: candy designed to look like that, but the packaging is

697
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: designed to look like that. I mean, thankfully they didn't

698
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: eat so many that it was a health problem. I

699
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: can't imagine, like the eight year old mind fuck of like, yeah,

700
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: it was God's side and kids are like my my

701
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: five year old is basically like Perma Stone, like the

702
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: ship that he says, just make like sounds like the

703
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: other day, asked me how his bones move him? Oh

704
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: the good questions? What? Yeah, But like so I wonder.

705
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: I do wonder though, like what a five year old

706
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: on edibles would like they I'm just so mad at

707
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: the story that they didn't tell us what the like

708
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: weird behavior was. That's true because children's imagination is like

709
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: the most I mean, the most incredible, the most inspiring.

710
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: That's why they always telling you, my un you're an adult,

711
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: just remember your childhood imagination and try to tap into

712
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: that because it's like, bro, imagine being high and Mickey

713
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: starts talking to you and you're just like I'm sucking

714
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: hanging out with Mickey Mouse, right or whatever. Like Teletubby

715
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: is imagine being high as a child and the teletubby

716
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: has come to life in your backyard. That would be

717
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: fucking sick. Yeah. The first time I got high, and

718
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to get high because I was told

719
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: that you like the first time you smoke, you don't

720
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: get high, and then it's like the second time that

721
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: you actually But I took like a a foot long

722
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: bomb rip and then like was all right, and then

723
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: we'll smoke tomorrow and I'll actually get high. And then

724
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: I went into my dorm room and like the Godfather

725
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: poster on my wall, because I was a teenage boy,

726
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: started like the cat literally started moving on my on

727
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: the poster on my wall. How old are you? Did

728
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: you say? I was okay? I mean that's still a

729
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: child technically. Yeah, and I I've freaked out so bad.

730
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: I like made my friend wake up and like tell

731
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: me that everything was going to be okay. And then

732
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: and then he went around. I was in a dorm.

733
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: He went around and woke all our friends up and

734
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: then brought them into my room to laugh at me.

735
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: That's great. We know what. One time I was at

736
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: a family party and my nephew he must have been

737
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: like how older kids when they're teething. Uh too, Okay,

738
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: So he was around there and um we there was

739
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: like one of those like punch like drink things, drink dispensers.

740
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: I had like a bunch, So I was like tasting

741
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: each point with him, like trying to play. And so

742
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: he was teething. He was like a grumpy little guy.

743
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: And my sister was like you could tell she was

744
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: just didn't have enough sleep because he was teething. And

745
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: she had her other daughter too, she was a little older,

746
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: so she was just overwhelmed. I was like, give me

747
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: him for the party. I'll take him for the party.

748
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: He's mine because I'm like testing these drinks. I'm drinking

749
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: them first. I'm letting him have him drinking it, letting

750
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: him have it, right, And there's four and when I

751
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: get to the fourth one, I pour it and I

752
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: just let him have it. It was alcohol in that motherfucker.

753
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: And then like literally like whatever, five ten minutes later,

754
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: he is just so happy that the time of his life.

755
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: No toothache. I'm I realized it immediately because he tastes

756
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: but he was drinking it. That was the thing. When

757
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: he slipped and he was like oh, this ship is

758
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: fucking good, which alcoholic and runs in her family. Good

759
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: to know it starts young and and then I drank

760
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: because he was so into it and I was like,

761
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: oh funk, this is alcohol. And I didn't want to

762
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: tell my sister. I didn't even tell her. I didn't

763
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: tell her years past and um, but it was just

764
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: funny because I and I. The only reason I even

765
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: told her is because I felt so bad because at

766
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: that part it you could tell, you know, because sometimes

767
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: when parents, especially mothers, when they can't do something and

768
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: then someone else just comes in and does it, well,

769
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: it makes him feel terrible. So she was feeling terrible,

770
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: like wow, like I can't get my teething baby to

771
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: stop crying and soothe him, and she just does it.

772
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: She just comes in and does it at a party,

773
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: like she had that look on her face like she

774
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: wanted to cry because I had him like laughing. And

775
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: I didn't have the heart to tell her at that time,

776
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: but eventually I told her. But that she was hell

777
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: funny though, I'll say that because he was a ball

778
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: of joy. You didn't give no funk about that toothache running.

779
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be fine, Yeah, I can't justify it

780
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: that way, like it'll be fine. But he definitely drank. Wait.

781
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: I was like, let me get him a McDonald's cheeseburger.

782
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: So he just chills out. I mean, shout out to

783
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: whoever mixed that punch, because like, what if a kid

784
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: can't taste it like they did a they did a

785
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: great job. Yeah it was and I mean it was

786
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: pretty strong. He just didn't give a fuck grimy as

787
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: little boy. But I do wonder like if it sort

788
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: of like with weed, because kids are already like in

789
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: that mind space, if it like if they suddenly like

790
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: turn into adults because they're like, you're there. It has

791
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: like some reverse property of five year all getting him

792
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: me Like nine eleven was an inside job, right, Yeah,

793
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: I could see that. No, it wasn't Stephen. How was

794
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: talking like that? Oh man, I can just like picture

795
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing. So they like rushed these five kids

796
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: to the hospital and they were all fine, but that

797
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: CPS was called all the parents are in prison? Yeah,

798
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: what do we know? The race of these children? Girl?

799
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: You know the race of these children? If it's in

800
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the fucking news, you know, God damn well, what the

801
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: race of these children? Aren't was fine. We wrote a

802
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: news story about it. Guess the race white yeah, and

803
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: black people reading a totally different story. True. It was

804
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: in I think Canada. Yeah, it was their free healthcare

805
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: and ship. They're just like, let's get take these stone

806
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: as kids to the hospital. No sweat off our back. Yeah,

807
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's talk about Rick Lax.

808
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: So you've probably seen had you guys heard that name before,

809
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: rick Lax. No, but it sounds like a really catchy

810
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: name for a laxative Rick Lax. So he's apparently the

811
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: king of viral videos on Facebook, which is just not

812
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: I haven't been on Facebook, like actually just looking for

813
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: something to entertain me, uh in probably over a decade.

814
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: And but you know, he apparently has that market cornered

815
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: people who pay attention on Facebook like no his name.

816
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: So we've we've also seen like these things like table

817
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: nachos where somebody just like lays a bunch of chips

818
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: out on a table and like puts cheese on them,

819
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: or table spaghetti where they're always so proud. Yeah, so

820
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: that's uh, spaghettio pie, which is just spaghettios dumped into

821
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: a pie crust and then like the most half asked

822
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: garlic bread over the top and then they bake it

823
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: and they're like, this is you know, my best yet,

824
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: and there's yeah, there's like pride, but there's also like

825
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: a tinge of like it feels like porn acting where

826
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: there's like, I don't know, they they don't quite seem

827
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: like they're they're uh, actually genuinely in this in this moment,

828
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: having this experience. And so we had speculated at the

829
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: time of the spaghetti video where the person just like

830
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: pours spaghetti sauce on the table and then puts pasta

831
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: on top of it and then meatballs and with her

832
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: bare hands. It's all happening with bare hands. We had

833
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: speculated like maybe this is a fetish video. Turns out

834
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: there's like one guy lacks productions behind all of these videos.

835
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: He's a magician. Some of the women doing the gross

836
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: ship with the food are his magician's assistants. And his

837
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: verified page has fourteen million followers, and he also has

838
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: one point four million followers on a page called rick

839
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: Lax has Fun. It's it's similar to like the SMR

840
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: videos where it's like, you know, there's a fetish but

841
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: like it's nobody's admitting it. Nobody's like the people who

842
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: specialize in the videos, They're not like, yeah, I know,

843
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: people are totally jerking off to this. I'm sorry, I

844
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm jumping the gun here. I was

845
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: trying to read this quickly, but is this the same

846
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: guy that makes these videos so that Black Twitter catches

847
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: onto them and ships on them and helps them go viral? Y? Yeah,

848
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: the because the idea behind them, it's like, on top

849
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: of being like just ridiculous, is like I think you

850
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: guys talked a couple of days ago about how having

851
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: extremely divisive opinions on social media is how you gardener followers.

852
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: So VideA is, Hey, here's a bunch of like really

853
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: awful videos and black specifically, it's I think he started

854
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: on black Twitter but has definitely migrated over to black Instagram.

855
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: When there are videos without seasoning, you know, you have

856
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: these have these old companies like um Tastes Made and

857
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: a few others. BuzzFeed Food did it for a while too,

858
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: with it make these videos and I'd be like, there's

859
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: no seasoning on this, and Latin EXPETI jumped into and

860
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: they would be like this is not how you make

861
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: in a low te like get a life and and

862
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: learn what you're doing, or hire actual people of color

863
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 1: bone appetitue. So anyway, all of that happened, and then

864
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: this guy starts making these videos are beyond the pale,

865
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: like no one's going to eat this, no one's going

866
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: to make their or is that you know, gross and discussing.

867
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: And now there's an entire like genre of influencer who

868
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: just watches and reacts to this video. So if you

869
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: take like the YouTube react videos to different like you know,

870
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: they were reacting to trailers and then video games and

871
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: then streams. Now these guys are reacting to these bad

872
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: food videos and it's listen, it's an industry. It's making money.

873
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: People are doing things with it. Try to tell you

874
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: what pist pisted that people are making money off of

875
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: his videos without him making a cut of it. Welcome

876
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: to the I love that. I love that he thinks

877
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: he discovered a magic trick. And it's like, bro, everybody's

878
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: been hating a white people not being able to cook forever.

879
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: You just you just taped it. Also, if you didn't

880
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: figure out how to use your fourteen million followers to

881
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: get advertising dollars. That's on you, okay, like twenty emails

882
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: a day and being like, hey, you want to use

883
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: your social media for dollars? How can we do that

884
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: with you? That somebody has definitely reached out to you.

885
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: You could have reached out somebody found a good partnership.

886
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: Spaghettios almost assuredly would have been like, yes, we would

887
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: like to be mentioned two million times. Here's a couple

888
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Thank you for your help and figure that out, darling. Yeah,

889
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: I wonder how much because he's a magician, and like

890
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: magicians are kind of good at like breaking things down

891
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: to the component like illogical dynamics that make it like

892
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: entertaining or may make it like trick people. I do

893
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: wonder like he's not he's not saying and he's like,

894
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: I'm not a foodie, I'm not an expert calling the

895
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: recipes gross. I would object to that. So, I mean,

896
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: he sounds like a complete fucking idiot. But uh, if

897
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: if off the table, what what you would? But yeah,

898
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean the the level of commentary on like white

899
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: people cooking on top of like whatever fetish it is,

900
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: on top of like I feel like there's just this

901
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: is a very specific type of Internet era content where

902
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: it like checks three boxes, like two of them accidentally,

903
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: and it's just like it becomes a genre because like

904
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: then he's like, Okay, well, so randomly Spaghettio Pie is

905
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: our biggest hit of February. So we have ten videos

906
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: coming out this week that's all about like people doing

907
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: like basically the same ship. This is how I feel

908
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: about a lot of children's content. Like a lot of

909
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: the if you go on YouTube, like the children's videos

910
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: that have like thirteen billion views are just like the

911
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: most random, strange, like kind of dream logic e weird

912
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: things that are bad, like but they just are accidentally

913
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: like hitting on something that is like hardwired into the brain.

914
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: So it's just it's it's just this weird like scatter

915
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: shot of like human dis ires that were like coming

916
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: into contact with because the Internet is such a weird,

917
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: disturbing place. Just like call me Daddy, I would just

918
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: encourage your listeners to stop hate sharing things like I

919
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: feel like that's the root of the problem here, is

920
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: that people love to hate share, you know, like the

921
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: people love to dunk on somebody. People, You've got to

922
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: stop doing that. Ship that's just such a fucking that's backwards.

923
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, people that you like and enjoy, you should

924
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: be supporting them. And you know, when somebody that you

925
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: like says something funny or post something funny, you should

926
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: be sharing that ship as opposed to just being like,

927
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at this stupid fucking video. I

928
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: would never make this. How disgusting. And then it's like, guys,

929
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: you're just perpetuating this ship, you know. M there's I

930
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: have such mixed feelings about it because on the one hand,

931
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: there's things where I'm like, sometimes you can hate you

932
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: something that's bad, but good bad, you know what I mean? Uh?

933
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: For me, Emily and Paris is one of those phenomenons

934
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh girl, this is ah, this is atrocious,

935
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: Like how did this get me? This is all kinds

936
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: of wild. But watching it brought such a sense of

937
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: community of people just being like, please don't be Emily

938
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: in Paris and don't don't be that American when you leave,

939
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: and that could be kind of fun. On the other hand,

940
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: there's such a lack of curation I think in the

941
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: just in general in this era, everyone is just like

942
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: just pump out. As much as you can just go

943
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: is it good? We don't care, we don't have time

944
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: to care. Just release it and and hopefully we get

945
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: some followers. Did it just reach a couple of demographics? Great? Next,

946
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of time being put into really

947
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: like crafting masterpiece, or if it is, it's some people

948
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: who already have just an insane amount of money, and

949
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: you know that's not of consequence to them. I wonder

950
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: if we'll see a BackFlash from this of people being like,

951
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, I would rather have my content just hyper curated.

952
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be dealing with the Shenanigans that

953
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: don't want to watch six YouTube videos until I find

954
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: one that's, you know, really good and it's actually talking

955
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: about the things I'm trying to investigate. I kind of

956
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: hope so, because while it's it's great for creators that

957
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to constantly be probbing out to fail

958
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: and and succeed, and to then build an audience around

959
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: what is successful, there's that that area of the internet

960
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: is is really fun, and I think it's given a

961
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: lot of people an oportunity wouldn't otherwise have had one.

962
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: But I also think, you know, there are definitely, uh,

963
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: spaces where curation could be of great value, not just

964
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: to the people creating, people trying to access those creations.

965
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like that might be what TikTok is, right, Yeah,

966
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: I also have to correct you. Sorry, it's Emily impatty

967
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: just driving me correct. Couldn't hear Edward you said? After that?

968
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: I was like, great, you know, I feel like the

969
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: hyper curated like single channel. I feel like when you

970
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: said that that made me think of TikTok and like

971
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: the way that I for people who like spent a

972
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of time on TikTok, like the way that I

973
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 1: hear it working on them is like you, it takes

974
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: all decisions out of it and it's just like, uh,

975
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, hyper intelligence that's good at learning, like the

976
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: videos that you respond to and it's just point to

977
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 1: you and a feed right time life you lived? Damn Jack,

978
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: here you go. Don't you worry about that? Created this? Uh?

979
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: Not worth mentioning? Yeah, Like all machine learning is definitely

980
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: influenced by whatever the people choosing to who like originally

981
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: created it, and like the self selection of like what

982
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: the algorithm is being fed in the first place. So

983
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: not a good thing for sure. TikTok, I'm gonna go

984
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: out on a limb and say not great, not awesome.

985
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,720
Speaker 1: Damn Jack, you got those crazy opinions on this podcast.

986
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Wild take, Wild Take. We're gonna put that in a

990
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: this unvaccinated snow leopard at San Diego Zoo catches COVID

991
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: Night Team? Oh my gosh, pretty close enough to the leper?

992
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: What your career has done? This? Some anti science zoo keeper,

993
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:37,880
