1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza. 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: what is something that you think is overrated? If you 6 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: I think overrated is being on the wave of the 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: outrage where like you're like, okay, like I hate seeing 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the same message over, like the same take over and over, 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: Like I feel like it is better if you amplify 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: the voices that have already said what you're trying to 11 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: say and be like, oh I read that and I'm 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna be and I say it. You know, Like I 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: feel like I see this a lot where like one 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: person is you know, calling something out or talking about something. 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: I think the one thing that has been um going 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: on recently is just the kind of obvious difference in 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: how you know, uh, protests, black people protesting versus like 18 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: the Parkland kids protesting. And I feel like, you know, 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people have been having that conversation in 20 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: a way where it's like, yeah, this is a problem 21 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: we should address, but also we should keep in mind 22 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: that you know this is the first time everyone's on board. 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: But then I feel like it turns to a game 24 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: of uh telephone where it's gotten to the point where 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: some people are like fuck these Parkland kids, and it's 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, Like I get what you're where 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: you're coming from, but you can you know, we we 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: are complex human beings. We don't have to just say 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: one or the other. We can be like this, support this, 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: but also realize this and said that. That's those are 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: the voices that are clearly getting the most ears well, 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: and it's because people take that and then they they 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: have an emotion about it and then they just say 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: it instead of just sharing this voice of like yeah, 35 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: this person says that, you know so, because I feel 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: like this is a contest of like where the fringe 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: tries to make the hottest, spiciest take and not necessarily 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: try and like, you know, really spread the take, because 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: what what these kids are advocating for is something that 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: everyone will benefit too. And I think if people are 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: really upset, clearly they have a reason to be, because 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: these kinds of problems have affected many other communities in 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: much greater way. But again, yeah, it's like, sure, I 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: get that this is somehow the way that people are 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: starting to listen. But this is America, and I think 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: we knew that this is sort of how ship has 47 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: been working. Sadly, I'm not resigned to that fact, but 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: that we have to be real of what the reality 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: is of how sort of these kinds of rhetorical discussions 50 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: and you know, how movements work in this kind of Yeah. 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: And also it's just like, if you're paying close attention, 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: the kids are aware of that. The kids are so 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: much ahead of the woke curve than we are. And 54 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: it's because they probably spent most of their time on 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: Tumbler before this all happened. You know, they like they 56 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: they've been checking their privilege and like really trying to 57 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: lift up black voices as they as they move forward. 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: And that's what's cool is you've got all these people 59 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: because and I feel like that's what happens when things 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: start growing, is people try and nitpick and find holes. 61 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: And because no one can just rise, you gotta find 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: something wrong with it, just in the same way like 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: they lift you up so they can tear you. And 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: so I feel like it's getting to that point where 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: they're trying to find holes. But the kids are ahead 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: of the game. Like the holes that you're trying to 67 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: point out, they've already been working on fixing that. It's 68 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: like Twitter wokeness, Judo, It's like, I'm going to use 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: your wokeness against you to show that I am even 70 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: more woke than you. And it's just like, no, we 71 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: can just both have good points. And the New York 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: Times podcast The Daily This Morning actually interviewed some kids 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: from uh, Inner City Chicago who have been working on 74 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, gun access and you know, restricting gun access, 75 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: making it less easy for people to you know, smuggle 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: guns into Chicago, and uh, they are sort of jumping 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: on this Parkland thing and while acknowledging, Yeah, the reason 78 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: that this is being becoming a national issue is because 79 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: they're like, the households in their community make three times 80 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: as much as the households in our community, and that's 81 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: fucked up. But this is our opportunity and you know, 82 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: getting a getting a national stage and using that what 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: Mike dropped, We wanted to talk about the March for 84 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: Our Lives that happened over the weekend. I know a 85 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: lot of people who were there. Uh, I didn't get 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: downtown today, you guys go. I was recording the Bechdel cast, 87 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: but my mom went in my stead nice Kids Choice Awards. 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: So you really really out here for these kids. You 89 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: people want to march for the kids. I'm trying to 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: be up trying to say I met with them, but 91 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: I was saying, you know, that's tricky wording. Anyways, a 92 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: lot of people did go there, and uh, Fox News 93 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: didn't really know how to react to all these you know, 94 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: young elementary school kids, like uh uh. Crooked Media went 95 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: down there and interviewed all the people on the street 96 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, these eleven year olds 97 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: who like told their grandma they wanted to come down 98 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: and like so they drove for like hours to get 99 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: there to go to this protests and just this really 100 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: intense outpouring of just organic sort of democratic energy and organic. 101 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: Well we'll see Fox Fox has a word or two 102 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: to say about that. So, uh, let's let's hear how 103 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: they tried to cover the March for Our Lives. There's 104 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: something to be said for this. I mean, that's that's 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people, and I had conversations a 106 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: lot of them, um, and they really have no idea 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: what they're talking about, especially with guns. Kind of feel 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: sorry for some of them without putting them on the spot. Um, 109 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: but they seem to be very, very misguided. But there's emotion, 110 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: and emotion drives politics. Well. I mean, I think we 111 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: had talked about the fact that this march was going 112 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: to take place, and one of the things that Peter 113 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Doucy had mentioned was that initially it felt like it 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: was more organic, that there was some students getting together 115 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: after the Valentine's Day event in Parkling, Florida. And then 116 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: now it's almost as EFFICI celebrity movement. It's Hollywood feel 117 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: and and that's that's what I wanted to ask you them. 118 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: So I definitely feel a lot of that. It's it's 119 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: a blend of all these enforces. A lot of students 120 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: were being busted in, which is to be without said, 121 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: and you could tell by the T shirts and the 122 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: big coach buses that are And I was asking who's 123 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: paying for this? First of all, I mean, it's it 124 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: is highly organized. Twelve coach buses coming in with police escorts. 125 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: Is I was driving it. Here's the funny thing. First 126 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: of all, they're using armed guards for this whole thing, 127 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: which I think is one of the greatest ironies of 128 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: a gun control march. Yeah. Okay, so, um was it 129 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: USDA organic? Do you know how organic this march was? Right? So, 130 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: first of all, I like just the condescension that where 131 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: he's like that these people don't know what they're talking 132 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: about around guns. Uh, they just want gun control, I guess. 133 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: But then she refers to the Valentine's Day event in Parkland, 134 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: which sounds like it's like a silent auction fundraiser for 135 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: like a private school or something, or like a sail 136 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: at a car dealership coming for the Valentine's Day event 137 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: of the year. Right, So it was just a fun 138 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day event that they're responding to, and they all 139 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: decided to have this get together, But clearly they were 140 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: being funded by high level soros or Hollywood Royalty, because 141 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: how else could these filthy poppers afford the notoriously luxurious 142 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: mode of tran support that is the bush Man. Well 143 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: also it's it's like, Wow, you guys are crying over 144 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: and being afraid of the kids, and you think the 145 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: way you're gonna win their support is just by shipping 146 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: on them. And it just goes to show you just 147 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: that this kind of change of tradition that's happening because 148 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: their mindset is that you're wrong because you're a child, 149 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: not because you're actually wrong, but you're wrong because I'm 150 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: an adult. And it's just like Danny DeVito's monologue in Matilda. 151 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I hit you with that deep. But 152 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: this is the main reason they're gonna lose this generation 153 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: is because they feel like they don't have to fight 154 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: for them. They're like, no, you need to listen. You're 155 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: misguided and you are only helping push them away more 156 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: because you are shifting on these people. And when you 157 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: say the irony is that they have armed guards in 158 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: a gun control rally, just proves yet again you don't 159 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: know what gun control is. You're just you are the 160 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: misguided one, right, They object to the idea of guns 161 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: and think that guns shouldn't exist. Is like how they 162 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: is the version, let's do the bare minimum and at 163 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: least ban weapons that professional people in the military use 164 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: in war. So this is why they're so good, This 165 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: is why they're a great propaganda outlet because they take 166 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: the most cartoonish version of the other side's argument and 167 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: They're like, okay, so they you know, this is an 168 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: organization that has three very clear things. They want to 169 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: get rid of certain weapons, they want the minimum on 170 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: background checks, and like one other thing that I can't 171 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: remember because I'm a you know, you're an old, You're 172 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: an old. I'm an old, and I'm also ill informed liberal. 173 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: But uh, instead of talking about those specific talking points 174 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: and things that the marchers are asking for, they're like, 175 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: they think guns should never have been invented and they 176 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: want them to disappear magically, which no nobody has ever 177 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: know what's next, These invisible guns are gonna be marrying 178 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: each other that never existed, Like, well, hold on, you're 179 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: you're messing up all your weird psychopathic But but it 180 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: is weird. I set this in the last podcast, the 181 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: last episode I was on, and I'm gonna say it again. 182 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: It is weird to see this outlet using Alex Jones 183 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: talking points like trying to use the crisis actor angle. 184 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: And what's even more pathetic is them pussyfooting it to 185 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: be like, well you do the math, Like if you're 186 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: gonna do that, if you're gonna make that kind of 187 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: disgusting statement, then actually have the balls to say it. 188 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: Don't don't pussyfoot around it like it's just it's really pathetic, 189 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: Like it's it really is. That's exactly right. Uh. They 190 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: also had a segment where one of their men on 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: the street went out to interview some of the kids 192 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: and asked them what they thought of the Second Amendment, 193 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: and you know, most of them were just like it's 194 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: outdated or it's made for a different time. And uh 195 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: then they cut back to the Fox in studio team 196 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, just tear up the Constitution, I guess. 197 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: And then uh, one of the guys on Fox and 198 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Friends like they don't learn about the Constitution in class. 199 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: And first of all, like everything the kids say is right. Obviously, 200 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: they like leave in the ums and oz to make 201 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: them seem dumber. It's very like Jay Leno jaywalking type thing. 202 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: But uh so they make them seem as dumb as possible. 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: But every like the content of what the students are 204 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: saying is true. It was literally made for a different time, 205 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: and labeling the Second Amendment outdated is such a reasonable 206 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: position that, uh, a Supreme Court decision in two thousand 207 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: eight brought it up. It was a dissenting opinion, but 208 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: Justice John Paul Stevens was like, look, I don't think 209 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,359 Speaker 1: that the framers of the Constitution, we're thinking about handguns 210 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: when they gave militiamen the right to keep muskets, and 211 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: like that's a completely valid argument. But basically they showed 212 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: these kids having valid arguments and they're like, yeah, sure, 213 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: But what's so funny is that they're like, oh, yeah, no, 214 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: it still holds up today. Our childhood movies don't even 215 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: hold up today. The document does. Yeah. I mean also 216 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: to the guns they were even talking about then, it 217 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: just took like forty seconds to shoot, So in their mind, 218 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: there wasn't like that like, well, you know, one of 219 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: these cycles will get loose with a musket, something could happen. Uh, 220 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: you know again a very different times and these people, yeah, 221 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: they're not I possible. Also, they were impossible. They were 222 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: so hard to aim that like you know, once people 223 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: invented rifles like we have today. For the Civil War, 224 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: it was that was the reason the Civil War was 225 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: so bloody, is because the generals weren't used to weapons 226 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: that you could actually aimed straight, and so they like 227 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: fought the war like you were just running up to 228 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: people in their general direction. And but because the weapons 229 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: actually fired straight like, lots and lots of people died 230 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: because they just didn't. They hadn't adapted their U tactics 231 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: for a world in which straight like straight shooting effective 232 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: weapon re existed. And they head in mind when they 233 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: wrote the Constitution the same deal, like they were thinking 234 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: of muskets and shitty you know, things that fired round, 235 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: things that knuckleballed out out into the air, and who 236 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: the funk new where it was landing. Casey, what is 237 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: a myth? What's something that people think is true that 238 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: you know to be false. You know, let's get into this. 239 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: So I am HIV positive, and I feel like not 240 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: enough young cool, hip beautiful people know that young, cool, 241 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: hip beautiful people can also be HIV positive in this 242 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: day and age and it's nothing to be ashamed of. 243 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: And so that's basically a myth because I run up 244 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: into that, you know, I talked about in my comedy. 245 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: I can sense people getting like tent sometimes when I'm 246 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: talking about it, and I just want everyone to like 247 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: relax and know that, like, if you're h V positive 248 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: in this day and age, you're fine, and it's like, um, 249 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: kind of like fun to talk about. Uh, you know, 250 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: it gives me my inn because a treatment has become 251 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: just advanced so much over time, because I remember like 252 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: back in the day, like in the early night, people 253 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: used to look at it. What's differently? Oh yeah, of 254 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: course it was a much different thing. I mean when 255 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: we were when Yes, treatment is amazing. I take a 256 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: pill a day, um, and I'm gonna live forever. Um. 257 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: I just have a joke about how do Yeah, Well, 258 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: so there's a variety of things. You go to your 259 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: doctor um and ask for it, and also you get 260 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: HIV you need it. But there's also so there's there's 261 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: so much, there's so much to talking about in this 262 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: U and we only have a short amount of time. 263 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: But um, one like the treatment is so good that 264 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: there's something called undetectable where I'm I'm medicated to a 265 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: point where like there's no trace of it in my 266 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: body whatsoever. And so I can't even and studies have 267 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: confirmed this, I can't even give it to another person. Well, 268 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: while I'm undetectable, So as long as I'm medicated in 269 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: this way, which I will be forever, UM, I can't 270 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: actually transfer the METS, So it's importantly to talk about 271 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: so people know that you're actually more likely to get 272 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: HIV from a sexual encounter with someone who doesn't know 273 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: their status and and while using a condom, then you 274 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: are having unprotected sex with someone who knows their status 275 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: and it's undetectable because of medication. So that's like, so 276 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: it's important to kind of put that information out into 277 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: the world because there's also a lot of people who 278 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: are like you grosser as be positive. I would never 279 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: have sex with someone like that because your disease and 280 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: dirty engross and I want to catch it um And 281 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: that's a point of view that is um that should 282 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: be debunked. So there's that and uh yeah, So it's 283 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: just something that I think is not talked about because 284 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who are also HIV 285 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: positive in this day and age don't want or feel 286 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: a need to talk about it so much, especially publicly, 287 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: because it adds to a stigma on top of you 288 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: that you don't need. And let's be where a lot 289 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: of those people are already stigmatized from a group of 290 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: like whether it's being gay, or whether it's having had issues, 291 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: or whether it's um um you know, sex work stuff 292 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: like that. So I think that you you're just adding 293 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: another level of stigma on top of it, and I 294 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: just kind of want to get it out there that 295 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's um, it's not something that you need 296 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: to be ashamed of or feel stigmatized by because it's normal. 297 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's just another thing. And I'm it's it's been. 298 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: It's been an interesting road in all of this. But 299 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: as I've like talked about it more and more, I 300 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: now know like every single stand up comic who has 301 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: herpes UM, I know, like everyone just tells me. And 302 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's like it's by opening up in this way, 303 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people feel comfortable opening up of stuff. 304 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: And it's just you just realize how like normalized or 305 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: how prevalent and how um normal it should be to 306 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: just talk about like the fact that like people fuck 307 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes they get things and that's just the way 308 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: the world works. And I'm not saying don't be safe, 309 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying don't take responsibility, but also like 310 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: you're human, and let's address you're human. Yeah, exactly. Shame 311 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: is really this big issue that I'm all. I'm all 312 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: in on burnet Brown's h books about releasing shame. Shame 313 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: is a very debilitating, um um, human emotion. I guess 314 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: it's an emotion, you know, and it's about and it's 315 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: and as we get older, it's about trying to lose 316 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: all of that and just kind of fully actualizing your 317 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: full true self self acceptance. So self acceptance, baby, who's 318 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Burnie Brown? Burnee Brown is an author and a I 319 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: think she's like a sociologist, but she's focused a lot 320 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: on shame and the debilitating aspects of shame and how 321 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: shame runs a lot of the world, I mean a 322 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: lot of the way people A yeah and so um 323 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: and every we all have shame, we just get at 324 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: different levels and we're all like imbauted with shame. And 325 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: I think growing up as a queer person in the society, 326 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: you just are you just no shame. You know, you're 327 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: raised in shame. You were told to be ashamed of yourself, 328 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: and it takes a long time to relinquish a lot 329 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: of that. And then the HIV thing on top of that. 330 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: I kind of got it in my mid twenties. Um 331 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of no, I did, I did yea yeah, and 332 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: uh um, so I just kind of come. I like, 333 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: I came out of the closet around like eighteen nineteen. Um, 334 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,239 Speaker 1: but then I went to school in a very like 335 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere kind of place, so like I 336 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: didn't like yeah yeah yeah, So it took me a 337 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: little while to be like, to be super cool and 338 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: open and um. Then I moved to San Francisco and 339 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gay as fuck. And then within 340 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: like eight months, I was HIV positive and I went 341 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: back into another like shame closet as a result of that. 342 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: So I just and it took me a while to 343 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: get that as well. So I just it's just it 344 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: was a bummer, and I wish I had had more 345 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: people in my life at that time being like, hey, 346 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: it's cool, You're gonna be fine, You're gonna live through this, 347 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: and you know, because I initially I was gonna die. 348 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: And then it took me, um a while and a 349 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: lot of people to be like and a lot of 350 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: experience to be like, no, you're gonna be fine, and 351 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: literally I'm gonna live longer than most of the straight 352 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,239 Speaker 1: mail comics you've ever seen, because like their diseases up 353 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: in their brain, you know. Um, yeah, Well, shout out 354 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: to medical progress. Yeah, baby, yeah, because I used to 355 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: think that like Magic Johnson was the only person that 356 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: had access to that kind of healthcare, you know what 357 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Like back in the day, that was like, oh, well, 358 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: Magic is a different thing. I think that was true 359 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: for Yeah, I think he had at the time. But 360 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: even that, I mean, like he could have. There's a 361 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: combination of things too. I mean, like JV has never 362 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: been an absolute, definite death sentence to everyone who's gotten it. 363 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: There are different types of bodies react to it different ways, 364 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: and the systems are different. There are things called elite suppressors, 365 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: were the disease never even advances without like you don't 366 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: even need medication a lot of ways. So people have 367 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: lived for decades with it, and Magic was I think 368 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: he went full board on, like I'm going to be 369 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: the healthiest person in the world from this point on, 370 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: and he did. Um, but that you know, he's like 371 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: the biggest example, but there's tons of people who lived 372 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: for decades, you know. And also it was in the 373 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: mid nineties that the drugs got better. Not amazing, but 374 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: that's when the tide turned on the on the plague 375 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: and the crisis. You know, because up until that point 376 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: there weren't drugs. There were drugs that could sustain life, 377 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: but there weren't drugs that could like actually like curb 378 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: the disease. And um, those drugs have progressing, progressing progress. 379 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: It's a little nuts that there isn't a cure yet. 380 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean, like it's and there is a lot of 381 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: conspiracy out there. So have you heard of prep true vada? Okay, 382 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm educating. This is good. So there's also a pill 383 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: that you can take every day if you're negative, you're 384 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: not HIV positive, and a lot of gay men, because 385 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: we're considered a high risk group, take it every day. 386 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: And if you take it every day, you can't get HIV. 387 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: So somehow, some way, the drug companies figured out a 388 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: way to get all gay men on AIDS nets without 389 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: crying it. So now they're taking a lot more money. 390 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the conspiracy theory to point of view 391 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: on the whole thing. Um. And I'm not going I mean, 392 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: drug companies are keeping me alive, so I'm not going 393 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: to completely come for them, you know, but there is 394 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: It's just an interesting thought that rather than have finding 395 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: a cure after several several decades. Um, we have just 396 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: another way to make more money on the disease itself. 397 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: So we'll file that under I'm just going to leave 398 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: that right sponsored by Gilead. Alright, We're going to take 399 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: a quick break, will be right back, and we're back. So, uh, 400 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: we just booted a bunch of Russians out of the 401 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: United States. We did. We shut down the Seattle consulate. Yeah, 402 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: shutting it down, shuttered, which is spelled t T And 403 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: I saw the headline that spelled it d D. Like 404 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: we just shuddered, Like never mind, I got you. Yeah, 405 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: they're running scared, right, But so this is actually something 406 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: back during uh the transition from Obama to Trump, we 407 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: closed the San Francisco Consulate, and like I thought the 408 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: Cold War was over. People are saying we're in like 409 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: a hot peace period, but apparently there's like all sorts 410 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: of weird espionage ship going on. Um. So when they 411 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: closed the San Francisco consulate, Uh, there was just like 412 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: black smoke billowing out of the chimney for like days 413 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: and document yeah, and uh, Foreign Policy Magazine did this 414 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: big report where they like talked to intelligence people in 415 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: America about like just the bizarre activities that are happening 416 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: around the San Francisco Consulate before it was shut down, 417 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: and like there was just weird stuff, like they followed 418 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: this guy who worked there, like they basically it says, 419 00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: imagine like driving up over Mount Tamil Tamil piece uh 420 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: to uh, doing a bunch of switch backing through redwood 421 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: studded ravine until over the horizon you spott a giant 422 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: shimmering beach front and you pull up and there's a 423 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: guy in a suit standing at the edge of the 424 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: water just looking out into the water with a small 425 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: device in his hand. And then he stands there just 426 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: staring out into the ocean for a few minutes, turns around, 427 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: walks to his car and leaves like that's like what 428 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: they saw. Russian like quote diplomats from this uh out 429 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: of the city like the and then like all the 430 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: documents documents, they would follow. They would follow these people 431 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: and they would like go out to a gas station, 432 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: pull their car up next to the gas pump, not 433 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: pump any gas, walk off like into a field, do 434 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: laps around this tree like three times, and then go 435 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: back to their car and then like another car of 436 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Russian diplomat would do the same thing is how Russians 437 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: exercise everyone just Russian cardio. But it's just like so 438 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: specially would call in the intelligence community tradecraft, right, and 439 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: they kind of marked all these different places where they 440 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: were doing this weird ship on a map and they 441 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: said that they think they're either nodes of fiber optics 442 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: that are passing underground that they're basically like figuring out 443 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: how to interfere with or their paths that spy planes 444 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: are flying over, and they're basically transmitting stuff up to 445 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: the spy plants. But it's just interesting context for all 446 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: this like Seattle stuff, is that the last consult that 447 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 1: we closed it was for ship like this, like just 448 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: like really weird sort of almost stereotypical tradecraft stuff going on. 449 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: What's weird too, because like the reason is because it's 450 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: proximity to like a US nuclear submarine base and like 451 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: the Boeing manufacturing like plants and stuff. So it's damn like, 452 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: what's that weird ship? Like, Okay, we got that, we 453 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: got the subs figured out. It's hard to like handle 454 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: like to know that all of these agents are clearly 455 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: operating within our country and to think that we similarly 456 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: have something going on over there, but to know that 457 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: we're being led by people whose intentions are unclear on 458 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: our side, you know, or at least it feels that way. 459 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: It's like I just want to know what is happening, 460 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: like because I feel like we are either super vulnerable, 461 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: which is clear, we've been vulnerable to some forms of espionage, um, 462 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: but like, what are they trying to do beyond influence 463 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: our elections and our get a man charian candidate in 464 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: there who may already be in there right. Well, it's 465 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: all like a technological arms race. Like it's basically in 466 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: everything arms race. There's weapons, there's technology, there's AI, and 467 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: we're all racing against each other. And so anytime one 468 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: of our you know, best and brightest comes up with something, 469 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: even if it's in the private sphere, they're going to 470 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: try and steal those secrets. Stephanie Rue, she's an MSNBC contributor, 471 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: and she said to me, she was like, Trump doesn't 472 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: even know what AI is. He thinks it's a steak sauce. 473 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: She's a sick burner. But yeah, I mean that, And 474 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: that's it's like there's so many complicated issues and all 475 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: we are ever talking about is just like pps in 476 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: wear wares exactly. Well, the thing is too with these 477 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: like with these expulsions. It will keep in mind, it's 478 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: the least we could do in response to all of this, 479 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we did this to 480 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: be not left out of a really like broad coalition 481 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: of other countries who were taking action against Russia. Although 482 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: the number I think was pretty high. It's the highest. 483 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: But if you on paper, we kicked out spies, right, 484 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: so we should do that. Yeah cool, yeah, yeah, that's 485 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: the lead. Yeah, if if I'm tough on Gatherine. Meanwhile, 486 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: I don't see any sanctions on fucking Putin himself, you 487 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: know what I mean, or like other pligarchs around him 488 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: that could really get him his ass in a fucking grind? 489 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: Are they getting the next World Cup? Like the World 490 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: Cup is in Russia and but it's just happening. It's 491 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: just happening, and we're going and everyone the US Foresawsia 492 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: and you know what, we're not even out of protest 493 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: where we will fail to qualify. But Italy and so 494 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: did the Netherlands, so they're onto something like England is 495 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: England going. England is did qualify, but there was talk 496 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: of not going, but like then every English football saums 497 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: like yeah, okay, we're not going to woke up. No, 498 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: but they could be in hell. But that's kind of 499 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: the world that we live in now, where it's like 500 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: nothing really matters. Because if this was the eighties, of course, 501 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: like we wouldn't be the UK wouldn't be going because 502 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: there was a real serious threat coming from our nuclear foe, 503 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. But now it's like, I mean they 504 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: met in elections and the people but like we love football, 505 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: there's only their level of sucking around isn't quite reached 506 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: the egregious levels of people like, okay, we have to 507 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: do it, just like is it worth trying to do? 508 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: They took they literally annexed part of Europe and then 509 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: we have the Olympics there, you know, and it's just 510 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: like that's where we are right now, where it's it's 511 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: hard to convince a population that really terrible things are 512 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: happening or and or are these really terrible things. It 513 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: was crimea really part of Russia that just wanted to 514 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: be back, you know. And that's like the world like 515 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: there is no real actual fact or answer or anything 516 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: because everything is disputed by a slew of other information. Well, 517 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: one fact that is probably undisputable is, like, you know, 518 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: every time there's been sort of expulsions like this, there's 519 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: explosions in kind from Russia. They're like tip for tat explosions, 520 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: and so they're most likely it's going to happen again. 521 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: The only time it hasn't happened was when Obama did 522 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: it in and that was probably because Michael Flynn was like, Hey, 523 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: don't worry about this broad, don't worry about this broad 524 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to look at because that 525 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: really is one of the few times, I think, maybe 526 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: one of the only times where there wasn't in kind 527 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: expulsions or or clap backs from Russia. Did they kill that? Yeah, 528 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: they killed that that British He's still him is our 529 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: critical Okay, But like and we're like giving them plane 530 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: tickets to go home, right, you know, I mean, like 531 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: that's that's how we're fighting in kind, and like, you know, 532 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we should poison their spies, but no, 533 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: it does feel like we're not playing I feel like, 534 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're not playing with the same game. Maybe 535 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, sprinkle a little salmonilla on their salad bar, right, 536 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, they're yeah, it's true. We're definitely not doing 537 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: enough to combat like the election meddling, and every expert 538 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: and even in the Department of Defense has been saying 539 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: that they're like, bro, we're not really doing anything to 540 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: combat this, aside from like, yeah, we'll sanction people that 541 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: were already being sanctioned. Yeah, we'll expel spies of course, 542 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: just let Daddy Neil or take control. We just want 543 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: Daddy mill. So, speaking of children's safety, we wanted to 544 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: open with a new segment that Miles is developing. What's 545 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: it called, Miles, It's called kid Decapitated at a water park. Watch. Uh, 546 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, so this is actually really a terrible storm. 547 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: So getting a ut stop flash Mountain is actually only 548 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: the second worst thing that Yeah, so this this kid, 549 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: I think two years ago, was writing this water slide 550 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: called Varut at the Schlitterbond water Park in Kansas City. 551 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: Now this thing, the route I apparently translates to insane 552 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: or mad in German because the thing was so fucking intense. 553 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: And I remember it was like on like some TLC 554 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: show or like whatever educational reality shows like building impossible 555 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: water slides or whatever. And like they show when they're 556 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: first testing it, it's like this thing that does a 557 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: huge drop and then it hits a second hill and 558 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: then another drop right, which water slides usually only go 559 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: down right, but this is this is meant to give 560 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: you a little bit of rush, and it's like one 561 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: of those things where people getting like three people getting 562 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: a raft and go down. So in the initial test 563 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: ones the angle of the hill when you come down 564 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: off the initial descent, the angle was too sharp that 565 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: it was launching rafts off the slide. So in the 566 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: show they're like, oh, ship, we gotta change this angle. 567 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: And they're like, it's a six week job. And then 568 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: you see the guy being like, you guys got two 569 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: weeks and they're like because the reality show logic like 570 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: clamace threat it right and then but sadly they didn't 571 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: properly clearly there were a lot of things being worked 572 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: out because in August of this kid rode the ride 573 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: and the the raft was launched and he was to 574 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: captic and like two other women that were in the raft, 575 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: they went airborne and collided with like this sort of 576 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: like protective net framing that keeps the rafts in and 577 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: the kid was tragically killed. Now the people who designed 578 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: the ride have now been charged with like reckless second 579 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: degree murder, aggravated battery, and aggravated endangering a child. And 580 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: the crazy thing is, like, were people getting injured before 581 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: this kid got on the ride and they were keeping 582 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: it all hush hush and trying to be like, oh man, 583 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: that this happened to this kid was the first time, 584 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: and after they did their investigation and no it wasn't 585 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: because this ship was a death trap that's were being broken. Yeah, 586 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is one of those things. 587 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: First of all, schlitter bond like is something that I 588 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: had heard about from Howard Kramer on you who charted 589 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: talking about like how great this is and like the 590 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: Austin area, but apparently they pushed it too far um 591 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: in this case. But I feel like this is one 592 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: of those design flaws with like the very fabric of 593 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: capitalism where you've got the sort of like Carnival Barker 594 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: personality who creates a water park and makes it like 595 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: nationally famous. That's like the best guy to have in 596 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: charge of your water park in terms of letting people 597 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: know about it, but it's also the exact wrong person 598 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: to have in charge of like designing safe rides for people. 599 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: And so that's what where regulations come in handy, Like 600 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: that's the thing that it's the least sexy, least cool 601 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: thing to like talk about and get excited about regulations. 602 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: But like we're seeing it over and over again, like 603 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: regulations getting uh, you know killed by this administration, and 604 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: people who are pro deregulation getting put in charge of 605 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: all sorts of industries, and like, you really need regulations 606 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: in place because capitalism is an awesome thing at certain things, 607 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily good at like looking out for 608 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: consumer safety. We've gotta make We've got to make getting 609 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: cars as strangers sexy again. We've gotta make regulations sexy again. 610 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm on the marketing team for this. I'm ready to 611 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: make people horny for regulations. They I mean yeah, because 612 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: like when they talk about this ride, they say it 613 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: violated nearly all aspects of long standing industry safety standards, 614 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: and that in fact, the design and operation of the 615 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: Varut complied with few, if any of the industry safety standards. 616 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: That's like some Titanic ship, right exactly. So I mean, yes, again, 617 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: I don't mean to be flippant about this child's death, 618 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: but it's just crazy because like it's so fucking horrific, right, 619 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: and like yeah, and it's crazy because it was like 620 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: a thing on a reality show that they were even like, 621 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: hey man, we need six seeks to do the guys 622 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: like do it in two, and they're like, yeah, he 623 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: was that. They say that like a lot of the 624 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: really poor decisions he made were in favor of getting 625 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: this thing promoted on a reality show. So first up, 626 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: we want to talk about the premiere of Rosanne. Over 627 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: eighteen million people viewed the premiere of the new rebooted Rosanne, 628 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, a lot of people are kind of taking 629 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: this as a sort of vindication of Trump is Um 630 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: because in the show, Roseanne is a Trump supporter and 631 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: so you're seeing and real write and in real life. Uh. 632 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: And the first episode was sort of a conversation between 633 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: her and Jackie about, you know, the Trump is um 634 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: versus people who opposed Trump. I think Jackie was portrayed 635 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: as like a cartoon of liberalism, like she walked in 636 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 1: with a pussy hat and an outfit made of kale. Right. Uh, 637 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, so I mean it is a perspective that 638 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: you don't tend to get from mediated pop culture that's 639 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: coming out of Los Angeles. Sure, I never watched the 640 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: show growing up because I didn't really see myself in 641 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: the reality of that show. But I know many people 642 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: that liked it. But was the show problematic back then? 643 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: I thought like, based on what I was reading, like 644 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: they used sort of this working class reality to also 645 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: talk about sort of other issues within it, like there 646 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: was gay marriage like at the time when this show 647 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: is happening, but apparently it was a controversial episode. Is 648 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: this new version, like are they just going hole hog 649 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: on Trump where it's like, no, we're going to normalize 650 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: Trump using Roseanne, Or is it still gonna be like 651 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna we'll have elements of people who support Donald 652 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: Trump and also try and use that and juxtapose that 653 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: with other people and then explore the relationship that we 654 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: have in families or whatever between people having sort of 655 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: these political ideological differences. I've heard of the fense of 656 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: it that tries to compare it to All in the Family, 657 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: because on All in the Family, obviously, the Archie Bunker 658 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: was like an old like crotchety bigot um. But I 659 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: think the difference between that and this is that Carola 660 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: Connor himself was not that way and like he was 661 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: like like he himself did not feel that way, but 662 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 1: the show like used him as a foil um. Now, 663 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: to be fair, like Rob Ryner's character on that show 664 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: was kind of a caricature of like a young liberal 665 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: kid too. It's kind of there was that there um. 666 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: But it doesn't help if if the only like mouthpiece 667 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: for that idea is Jackie and she's kind of a 668 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: punch line and like a thing. That may not be 669 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: what they're trying to achieve, but there are a lot 670 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: of really like there are queer writers for the show, 671 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: people have colored like I don't, I don't know what 672 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: they're attempting with it, but it might be possible, like 673 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: they're actually trying to find a way to like bridge 674 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: the gap in the fight between Trump supporters and supports. 675 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know what they're going for, but 676 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: that seems to be what they're claiming to be right 677 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: for portray the disagreement rather than taking necessarily aside in 678 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: the disagree But it seems like from what how our 679 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: writer jam was describing it, it seems like there are 680 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: like plenty of things left hanging where a liberal character 681 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: says something and then that's just the joke, but there's 682 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: no Roseanne gets the last. Yeah. I think it's probably 683 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: more evenly distributed than you would typically see in a 684 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: show about liberal city dwellers, you know, written by liberal 685 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: city dwellers. But uh, you know, I think that's probably 686 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: partially both because Roseanne herself is not just the you know, 687 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: namesake and star of the show. She's also you know, 688 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: one of the executive producers and one of the loudest 689 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: voices in the writer's room, and you know, she herself 690 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: is a Trump supporter. Um. But you know, it's also 691 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: a stated goal of the show to try and accurately 692 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: reflect what uh people who are living in the middle 693 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: of America who are in this you know, income bracket, 694 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: uh would think, like in the conversations that they're having. 695 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: There's an interview with the co EP of the show, 696 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: guy Bruce Resmussen, who was also you know, heavily involved 697 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: in the previous incarnation of it, who was saying, you 698 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: know that the writer's room itself, outside of Roseanne is 699 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: still fairly liberal. It's a lot of l A comedy writers, right, 700 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: but you know, they are having to dig and I 701 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: think probably having Roseanne there keeps them honest about this. 702 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: They're having to dig to, you know, right from the 703 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: perspective of somebody who is a Trump supporter, who does 704 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: think that Trump is going to do something, uh for them. 705 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: It's like the Black Panther for white working class people, right, 706 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: And I think this is their Waconda. Yeah. And I 707 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: think there are other shows that do the same thing, 708 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: like I think Atlanta is another example. That was something 709 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: that kept jumping out to me in the first season 710 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: is how much of that show is about like struggling 711 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 1: to you know, like go out on a date when 712 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: when you don't have the money to like very grounded 713 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: in reality. They were grounded in economic realities, which is 714 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: something like from back when I was at Cracked. You know, 715 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: we had people who grew up fairly poor on our 716 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: writing staff, and anytime they would write articles about growing 717 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: up poor and you know what it's like to be poor, 718 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: they would get way more traffic than their normal articles 719 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: would because people, I think are just so starved for 720 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: content that reflects the reality of life. As the majority 721 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: of people in America live it, which is as you know, 722 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: not somebody who can afford a giant apartment in Manhattan, 723 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: you know. And like even Lady Bird was kind of 724 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: like that was it was like people like that was 725 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: pre economic class like collapse, like that was people living 726 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: in the nineties era. Yeah, did you watch? I did 727 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: not watch the show. I. Um, I have issues with 728 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: Rosanne herself and some stuff she's had with transphobia on 729 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: Twitter and historically, and I it's it's it's hard because 730 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: it's one of these where she deleted a lot of 731 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: her old tweets when the show was announced, and I 732 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: think they may have been the network asking her to 733 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: do it. I'm not sure. And all this stuff was 734 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 1: happening in the era where tweets weren't as readily cataloged 735 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: as they are now. So you have it. You can 736 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: find a lot of like think pieces about the tweets, 737 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 1: but the aren't screenshots of the tweets. Um, and like 738 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: it was a little bit rough and and so I 739 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: and I kind of steer clear of it because at 740 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: times he's gotten pret aggressive of people. Um and so 741 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm a little aunty about it now. One thing I 742 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: will say about the show, um, just from like reading 743 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: about it, UM, is that there's been a lot of 744 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 1: things like, oh, how dare you support Roseanne because she's 745 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: a transphob And then people point out that there is 746 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: a character on the show that is one of Darlene's 747 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 1: children and it's a boy who is like general conforming 748 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: ad dresses in girls clothing on the show, and that 749 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: I guess Rosanna as a character is very supportive of him, 750 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: and uh, people have been going to see the show 751 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: is not transphobic because as a kid, work, dresses whatever. 752 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: And I think that, like that is a oversimplification of 753 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: what's happening in this situation. Now. I am not saying 754 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: this to attack it. I actually think it's great they're 755 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: doing this character and I think that it is really good. 756 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: Do you have a show that it is hitting this market? 757 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: Like you were saying? That also addresses the idea of 758 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: letting a kid in a middle class culture, especially in 759 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: Middle America, being able to be openly expressive of general 760 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: conformity and be able to dress how it feels. And 761 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: that's great. So a hun percent support them doing that. 762 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: So I don't want to be seem like I'm attacking that. 763 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: But I do think that, like step back from using 764 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 1: that as an example of the show not being transphobic, 765 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: because that does not mean the show is not translate that. 766 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: In fact, Roseanne openly refers to trans woman, at least 767 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: she did on Twitter at the time when she was 768 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: like really engaging in this as men and dresses. So 769 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: you could even make the argument that like that they're 770 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,800 Speaker 1: making this a boy who wears a dresses who was 771 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: explicitly not transgenitor as a way of being like, oh, 772 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: this is always really is and even though it's really 773 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: two different things, and they're not saying that one should 774 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: not be showcased and should not be celebrated, but it's 775 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: just not It's would be like if I'm on a 776 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: show and I'm of Jewish descent and someone's like that 777 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: show is not race as you got a jew on that, 778 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: like I have black friends, but it's not even that, 779 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: Like it's literally thing like this different group of representatives 780 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: not being attacked. So like, I don't think that that 781 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: character of itself absolves Roseanne Barr herself of her history 782 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: with transphobia. And so I and now I like the 783 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: article that you guys linked to or someone mentioned, uh, 784 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: Andrea James, who is a trans writer and like performer, 785 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: like was praising the show and she was in the 786 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: shows at the end of day. She was really funny 787 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: and as what matters when anything, and that's what's I 788 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: can heal things. So there are trans voices who are 789 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: watching the show and saying that it's fine. So for me, 790 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: it's less about what the show is doing and more 791 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: my just about the herself. And so yeah, I just 792 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: I I Yeah, as a kid, never appealed to me, 793 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: but it just seemed like one of those things that 794 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: everyone knew. Like it was like a show that I 795 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: never watched, but I knew the character's names just because 796 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: like everyone would talk about it. But I don't know, Jack, 797 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: you watched it. I watched it a lot growing up, 798 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't even realize. But you know, Norm McDonald 799 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: ended up being one of my favorite comedians, and he 800 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: was a writer on the show when I when I 801 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: watched it back then, and he's still a consulting producer. 802 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 1: Whitney Cummings is co show runner, Wanda Psikes is writing 803 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: on it. It's like the writer's room is really impressive, 804 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: and so I'm definitely gonna check it out. I just 805 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to yet. Yeah, and I'm not like, 806 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: I will probably check out at some point. And like 807 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: it is like again like coming back to my own 808 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: overrated earlier, Like I think that there are people who 809 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: are gonna get something out of this and it's gonna 810 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: be able to useful for them, And so I you're 811 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: not hating, I'm not hating. I hope. I honestly, I 812 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: think the fact that they have a gender non performing 813 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: kid on the show is amazing and so I support 814 00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. Um. And you know, I'm hoping 815 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,439 Speaker 1: that the people on the show, like Sarah Gilbert and 816 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: John Goodman, who have a perspective that is very different 817 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 1: than what was the Embar perspective, is still are able 818 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: to have enough creative input in the show that it's 819 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 1: not just like a propaganda thing. And I'm optimistic for it. 820 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: I just have the able to bring myself to watch 821 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: it for reasons. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. 822 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: We will be right back, and we're back. But we 823 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: wanted to get to uh some hard news because there 824 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: is a video game yea that is super hot, cool, 825 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: super cool, Uh super cool.
