Speaker 5: This year, I didn't go home to see my family
Speaker 5: because I was sick, but I bought everyone in my
Speaker 5: family a bidet and then I got to watch six.
Speaker 3: Boomers open bidays over FaceTime.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was awesome because most of them had
Speaker 5: never thought about their butttholes before, so it was really
Speaker 5: just great to watch them have to deal with on Christmas.
Speaker 3: Without me in the room, part of me.
Speaker 1: Would have been like, can you record a selfie video
Speaker 1: when that water hits your buttthole for the first time?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to.
Speaker 3: I would pay.
Speaker 4: I would pay millions of dollars to see a bday
Speaker 4: hit my granddad's asshole over the first time. His old
Speaker 4: black ass boy. He would be like, who, that ain't
Speaker 4: for me, Jackie's that ain't for me.
Speaker 1: Until you warm it up. And then you warm it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well hold on a second, Oh exactly warm.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That needs to be. That needs to be a new
Speaker 4: subsection of YouTube. Remember reaction videos and stopping They need
Speaker 4: to or TikTok. We need to get like the day
Speaker 4: reaction videos from oh yeah, elderly everybody. But just like
Speaker 4: elderly people using it for the first time, it would
Speaker 4: blow up the internet.
Speaker 1: There's no way you could play around your butthole and
Speaker 1: not make a face, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: even if you even white grass with toilet paper, everybody
Speaker 1: got a little some kind of face they do.
Speaker 3: They're like like psycho path tests.
Speaker 1: Check your face. Yeah, you wipe your ass and with
Speaker 1: a blank face. I'm calling that and I don't call
Speaker 1: them normally. Yeah, exactly. And that's why the water oh man. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's fucked up how I kind of get panicked
Speaker 1: when I'm like at like traveling and the you know,
Speaker 1: hotel rooms have the days and stuff. You're in Europe,
Speaker 1: but like you go there like funk, what am I
Speaker 1: gonna do?
Speaker 4: And then yeah, you just gonna have a dirty booty.
Speaker 4: I bring baby wipes. I bring baby wipes on when
Speaker 4: I travel, you know, give me at least some layer
Speaker 4: of protection.
Speaker 3: Let me just tell you out there.
Speaker 4: And and and I want to say this as as
Speaker 4: the Bidet ambassador self proclaimed day, if you ain't at
Speaker 4: least using baby wives, I don't if you're not getting
Speaker 4: in the shower after every ship. I don't care what
Speaker 4: you say. And I've talked to a lot of people
Speaker 4: who'll be like, no, man, my ass clean. Your ass
Speaker 4: is not clean. Ass ain't clean. I don't give a
Speaker 4: fun what you say. I don't care how much convincing
Speaker 4: you need to tell yourself.
Speaker 3: The booty is dirty.
Speaker 4: If you go and roll around in some dirt and
Speaker 4: some mud and then just wipe yourself off with pay
Speaker 4: per perswels.
Speaker 3: You are dirty. You are dirty.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the same applies for your shitty booty hole.
Speaker 3: It's dirty.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm glad we just letting you know that a
Speaker 4: lot of people can denial.
Speaker 1: Just keep it clean. But anyway, let's give people a
Speaker 1: quick review of what we're going to talk about. First up,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about like you were talking about
Speaker 1: your key Supreme Court ending affirmative action, but luckily legacy
Speaker 1: admissions all good, they can stay. And we'll talk about
Speaker 1: the just fucking absurdity of that decision. Uh. Then we'll
Speaker 1: just touch on the team skirts. They have said ups
Speaker 1: strike is imminent, and let me just tell you this
Speaker 1: is this is three hundred and forty thousand people that
Speaker 1: are about to go on strike. That is not us
Speaker 1: insignificant numbers. So get ready for the last time. I
Speaker 1: remember the like ups or the teamsters we're talking about
Speaker 1: going on strike. We saw all these articles about like
Speaker 1: what that means for you, and how and how it's
Speaker 1: bad that this is gonna happen. Now things might get
Speaker 1: to you slower, or shipping might be more expensive. No,
Speaker 1: these are people who are dying in their delivery vehicles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you might have to go out and buy
Speaker 3: it in person.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do all that. I do have minutes.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll talk about that and where that negotiation
Speaker 1: is at or where it's not at at all. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Shean influencer propaganda bullshit that was flying
Speaker 1: around the internet this week. Guess what, folks, it seems
Speaker 1: like it backfired maybe, And then we'll talk about Costco.
Speaker 1: They're cracking down on people sharing memberships like this is
Speaker 1: Netflix or some shit, and but also like it also
Speaker 1: sounds like the people who work at Costco don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. So we'll see where we're at with all that.
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, we got to get
Speaker 1: to this Brandy posey, I said Brandney, Brandy posy, What
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are, what you're into right now.
Speaker 5: Yesterday I was I was googling Steven Tyler yesterday because
Speaker 5: I don't I found out that Arismon has just announced
Speaker 5: our last tour. I don't really care about Aerosmith very much,
Speaker 5: but I realized that I think that, like I don't.
Speaker 5: I know that they're not actually related, but I believe
Speaker 5: that Stephen Tyler and uh, oh god, what chili Pepper is?
Speaker 3: What's his home? What's his name?
Speaker 5: No, Anthony Keatis. I think they're related from a former life.
Speaker 5: They have a similar level of grime on them. And
Speaker 5: I was just going down a hole on like is
Speaker 5: there a relation?
Speaker 3: Is there?
Speaker 1: Are they related to each other? Tyler related? Maybe? No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: no they're not.
Speaker 5: But what I did find is there's an amazing video
Speaker 5: of Steven Tyler and Oprah wandering around the woods and
Speaker 5: Steven Tyler is just showing Oprah the woods behind his
Speaker 5: house and he's like, this is where I go to
Speaker 5: get calm and where I find God, and then it's
Speaker 5: Oprah just like yeah, it's her touching moss, and like
Speaker 5: it looks like they're all mushrooms together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like tripping out.
Speaker 3: I would learn that. I'll put it in the chat.
Speaker 3: It's a real, a real delight of a video.
Speaker 1: I love that. Do you have a favorite? Oh?
Speaker 3: Sorry, do you know that's a better question. Do you
Speaker 3: have a favorite? Dream On?
Speaker 1: I think yeah, that was what It's wild. I so
Speaker 1: like as a kid, right, I only knew Latter Day Aerosmith,
Speaker 1: And so when I started hearing like emotion all that,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, that ain't Erosmith. I'm like,
Speaker 1: like what they do is like the edge. That's what
Speaker 1: I thought Erosmith was, and I didn't know. Especially when
Speaker 1: you hear dream On, We're like, damn when he gets
Speaker 1: something like that, I didn't think that was the same there.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny for me.
Speaker 4: It's funny for me because like, uh yeah, same, Like
Speaker 4: you know, I knew maybe the song from Fifth Element
Speaker 4: that I don't want to miss a thing.
Speaker 3: And yeah.
Speaker 5: M again and saying a second, I was like, wait,
Speaker 5: what Tucker, Chris Tucker saying I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, coming a thing.
Speaker 4: But then but then uh then Eminem on The Eminem
Speaker 4: Show in two thousand and one sampled dream On On
Speaker 4: sing for the moment and and so like, and I
Speaker 4: didn't know of dream On before that. So then when
Speaker 4: I heard like the Arrowsmith song, when I got that's
Speaker 4: how I got older.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is pretty tight. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1: How much is Wow changed? Though? Is that just from
Speaker 1: the cocaine?
Speaker 3: I imagine?
Speaker 5: So I think that drip, that drip affects the vocal
Speaker 5: cocaine drip drip, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean definitely getting it'll fuck up your sinuses, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, so definitely gonna change your
Speaker 1: whole nasal ship on something. Because his voice sounds demonstrably different.
Speaker 1: It's old. I'm like, that's why I think sonically as
Speaker 1: a kid, I was like, this is this isn't the
Speaker 1: same band? Like then this is I don't.
Speaker 4: Still sing the same though he probably still sings because
Speaker 4: Ozzy Osbourne also can't speak anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, literally creepy yet.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, but then when he started singing, it's it's
Speaker 4: still it's I mean, it's not like what he used
Speaker 4: to be, but is like.
Speaker 3: He learned, Yeah, yeah, he can find it a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also, if you haven't looked at a current picture of
Speaker 5: Stephen Tyler in a while, he's just Aerosmith looks wild
Speaker 5: as old men. Yeah, it's just there's like a there's
Speaker 5: like a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow neess that's like
Speaker 5: really at its at its height.
Speaker 1: I remember like meeting like like I met one of
Speaker 1: Joe Perry's sons who's like younger than me, and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, so you got that old dad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like he had like he but he had this
Speaker 1: like energy of sort of like he was really I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, Joe, Joe Perry's son, but he had
Speaker 1: very much like I'm just in in turn vibes. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yeah, do you think, Brandy, what's
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Honestly? Maybe controversial in Los Angeles. I'm I'm okay with
Speaker 5: the sun. The sun is a little bit overrated. It
Speaker 5: came back out this week and I kind of like
Speaker 5: the gloom. I kind of enjoying it.
Speaker 3: I'm taking that else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I I agree with you, Brandy as well.
Speaker 4: I I agree with you to a degree, but because
Speaker 4: I also think the sun.
Speaker 3: I hate the Sun.
Speaker 4: I record if I hate well, I hate the Sun.
Speaker 4: If I could shoot bullets at the Sun, I would
Speaker 4: out here yeah, you know. I posted me instantly. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I posted me constantly through the year, bro, like all right, man,
Speaker 4: we've had enough, we've had enough. But but and especially
Speaker 4: out here, the sun. I don't know where you're from, Brandy,
Speaker 4: but I'm from Chicago. Aggressive, so you know the sun
Speaker 4: is aggressive as fuck out here, Like yeah, and so
Speaker 4: it's not even I don't so I also think the
Speaker 4: sun can just like leave, but like I don't need
Speaker 4: the gloom. I just give me some clouds, Give me
Speaker 4: a few clouds, like it can be it can still
Speaker 4: be a bright day.
Speaker 3: Just give me some clouds like white cloud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I hear the sun just be fucking us wrong, man,
Speaker 4: Like no no condom, no protection, no birth control, just
Speaker 4: straight up fucking raw, just raw, right.
Speaker 1: Now, give me at least some do something, Give me
Speaker 1: some Yeah.
Speaker 3: Too much, too much, too much, too much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's wild, Like how much. It's so funny
Speaker 1: how we vacillate like back and forth in this city too.
Speaker 1: We're like, man, it's too fucking cold, man, funk this
Speaker 1: and then the summer. I don't hate the sun now,
Speaker 1: Like we're like truly in on some goldielock ship. We're
Speaker 1: like we don't know where what bro, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Just want to be on a lighthoodie and sunglasses. But like,
Speaker 3: not sweating is what I'm always looking for.
Speaker 1: I have such a terrible summer wardrobe, Like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I do not look good when I go out in
Speaker 1: the summer because I have cargo shorts, basketball shorts, soccer shorts.
Speaker 1: I don't have like good linen nothing like that, like
Speaker 1: where you know people who have their shit together and
Speaker 1: like basketball jerseys. Like I look like I'm in eighth
Speaker 1: grade again. But come fall winter, old, baby, that's when
Speaker 1: I that's when I shine with my jackets.
Speaker 3: Baby. I love a layer I loved layer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love a layered look so good. Anyway, what's
Speaker 1: the meaning it's underrated, Brandy?
Speaker 5: If you're having like a I've had like a rough
Speaker 5: couple of weeks with some stuff and I decided, you
Speaker 5: know what, fuck it, I'm gonna get my car detailed
Speaker 5: because I just wanted my I just was like, if
Speaker 5: my car's nice, I'm gonna it's like a reset. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And I think, like that's something that like I have
Speaker 5: not done a lot in my life. And I was like,
Speaker 5: oh shit, this actually does make me feel really really
Speaker 5: good to have, like a car that just like it's clean,
Speaker 5: it's got no trash, there's no dust, there's no dirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just feels new. It just feels nice. Yeah
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not the best at taking care of
Speaker 1: my vehicle. Yeah on the outside, Like you know, I
Speaker 1: have a like my passenger seat is bab I go
Speaker 1: in the car pool lane because I have so many
Speaker 1: receipts in my passenger seat. It looks like a human
Speaker 1: beings riding with me. That's into the state of my
Speaker 1: car times. But now, like with a child, I've become
Speaker 1: much better at it. But the way I love going
Speaker 1: to like the fucking car wash now, yeah, like I
Speaker 1: feel the same where I'm like I sit there, like
Speaker 1: I bring a fucking newspaper like I'm and be like
Speaker 1: check that out, leave it for the next person. Boom,
Speaker 1: Yeah we're saying jack.
Speaker 3: I also listen. I love I love it. I love
Speaker 3: a car wash.
Speaker 4: I love like going to the car washing and having
Speaker 4: them clean it and see it and having them wipe
Speaker 4: it and walk around and inspect.
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, brother, this spot, Like I love that ship.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: But I also still love I just did this recently
Speaker 4: because I didn't have enough time to like get a
Speaker 4: real car wash, so I just went through like one.
Speaker 3: Of the drive through joints. Yeah, just still lovely. It's
Speaker 3: still a lovely time.
Speaker 1: How often how often do you how often do you
Speaker 1: see somebody in the self like to do it or
Speaker 1: like to drive through ones and they're about to crash
Speaker 1: into everybody else, like like because I know someone like
Speaker 1: you have to put in neutral. Other times, people like
Speaker 1: you don't know what to do. Their shit is moving
Speaker 1: inside and like you see them shut it down and
Speaker 1: someone's gotta pull somebody. I'd be like, you're about to
Speaker 1: fucking rear end this other car. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: I see that every time I go through one of those.
Speaker 3: I the ones.
Speaker 4: The only one I've been going to recently is the
Speaker 4: like little gas station ones that show yeah, so like
Speaker 4: you just stay in place and the.
Speaker 3: Thing moves around you.
Speaker 4: I haven't found too many ones that like you move
Speaker 4: through a whole thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have a feel of those, Like in
Speaker 1: the valley that I used to go to, there's one,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like it would sometimes I've saw people with
Speaker 1: some near misses and people were getting pretty turned up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the thing about like, you know, having a
Speaker 1: rough time too. I was just saying this on like
Speaker 1: Monday Show and having like you know, stressful shit going on. Whatever.
Speaker 1: But like, the thing that I always have to remind
Speaker 1: myself is when I'm feeling shitty is to not get
Speaker 1: in the pattern of telling myself, don't feel shitty, Like like,
Speaker 1: why you feel shitty?
Speaker 3: This is stupid.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't feel bad, you feel good. Why are you
Speaker 1: doing this? And like I have to kind of be like, okay, home,
Speaker 1: I'm a human, so that's normal, and then like let
Speaker 1: me just operate from that space of being like it's
Speaker 1: all good now, let's try and move totally bit by bit,
Speaker 1: because yeah, I'm such a like ruminator. Shit, the way
Speaker 1: I can get lost in my own fucking mind. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you, I look like like I'm worging from
Speaker 1: fucking Game of Thrones or some shit.
Speaker 4: The way my eyes with my thoughts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just good to do something good for yourself
Speaker 5: every once in a while. And like that, that's one
Speaker 5: that like I had never really thought about that. I
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, I'm in my car so much.
Speaker 5: It should it could be nice. This is a space
Speaker 5: that could also just be nice. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't
Speaker 5: thought about it. Yeah, recommend.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about some the Supreme Court. You know,
Speaker 1: they go back and forth. Sometimes they're fucking doing the
Speaker 1: right thing. Sometimes they're just caping for white supremacy all
Speaker 1: over again. Anyway, we'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, the Supreme Court just ruled that I
Speaker 1: say race Excuse me, I'm.
Speaker 4: A little Yeah, we are rare and racial minority, although
Speaker 4: that's how you say it. Race conscious admissions programs aka
Speaker 4: affirmative action programs like but specifically at Harvard and the
Speaker 4: University of North Carolina are unconstitutional. Basically, that is the
Speaker 4: end of affirmative action in college admissions.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: This is a six to three opinion with the you know,
Speaker 1: majority opinion written by Chief Justice Jean Roberts.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, the three libs left to be like,
Speaker 1: are y'all fucking serious? So that's Soda Mayora, Kagan, and
Speaker 1: Katanji Brown Jackson all dissented in her descent. Justice Soda
Speaker 1: Mayor was you know, just saying that, you know, the
Speaker 1: Court's decision has quote a superficial rule of color blindness
Speaker 1: as a constitutional principle in an endemically aggregated society where
Speaker 1: a race has always mattered and continues to matter and justice.
Speaker 1: Jackson just went as far as said the majority's opinion
Speaker 1: is a very as she said, quote let them eat
Speaker 1: cake levels of obliviousness, and yeah, it's hard to to
Speaker 1: just disagree with that now and again, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're like, no, we're color blind. That's all we're doing.
Speaker 1: We're color blind to the point that we're gonna go
Speaker 1: We're gonna zoom out past the systemic and structural parts
Speaker 1: that leave people disadvantaged and just taking it like that
Speaker 1: we're all just humans. Can't see any now.
Speaker 4: In ten years from now, when the numbers of diverse students,
Speaker 4: specifically black, dwindle. I would love to say that people
Speaker 4: will be like, damn, you know what, that shit was
Speaker 4: there for a reason.
Speaker 3: But they won't.
Speaker 4: They'll find a reason to say, why do we like, well,
Speaker 4: we'll go back to the classic races.
Speaker 3: Take that.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, if you want to get into college,
Speaker 4: be exceptional. You know, everybody better work hard like everybody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but you know that's that's not going to happen
Speaker 4: is I said this today. I said this today, And look,
Speaker 4: you know, I don't love to harp on things, but
Speaker 4: it's just a good reminder as we are a couple
Speaker 4: of years away from this again, elections matter, and we
Speaker 4: are still feeling the effects of the twenty sixteen election
Speaker 4: and we will continue to feel the effects of that
Speaker 4: election for many decades now.
Speaker 1: Nineteen over here. Still, Yeah, I mean, how long this
Speaker 1: shit has been going? And it's crazy to your point, right,
Speaker 1: And I said this the other day when when I
Speaker 1: started talking about Joe Biden and the lack of options
Speaker 1: of the Democrats present people like you can Trump win, Well,
Speaker 1: guess what Joe Biden's in office, and look at how
Speaker 1: much fuckery it continues.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm it's I'm hard pressed to say I
Speaker 1: like this president when I'm looking around and this motherfucker's
Speaker 1: not fighting or putting up a fight, and the other
Speaker 1: candidates that are are ostracized or meant to run a
Speaker 1: third party or whatever, because that's just the way the
Speaker 1: system is. And yeah, I'm that's why I'm like just
Speaker 1: looking I'm like, y okay, what's what's Cornell west Gott
Speaker 1: to say, because yeah, I like, I need to hear
Speaker 1: something that resonates with me and not just some sort
Speaker 1: of like glacial pace of progress, because the glacial pace
Speaker 1: leaves so many people behind when we got to do
Speaker 1: things very quickly.
Speaker 5: And there's no fighting any of this right now, which
Speaker 5: is so frustrating because it's like a frustrating part. I
Speaker 5: don't understand how everyone is just like raw, rah, let's
Speaker 5: like indict Trump do all this shit. But then you're
Speaker 5: saying that like his decisions that he made an office matter,
Speaker 5: Like why the fuck haven't you kicked out or tried
Speaker 5: tried to kick out his Supreme Court justices?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like, there's there's so many things that you could be
Speaker 5: trying to do to fight this, and if they fail,
Speaker 5: they fail, but like just put up a fight.
Speaker 3: Oh, people feel like give a fuck.
Speaker 1: Because you know what, there's nothing that motivates somebody. I
Speaker 1: mean most of the time if you see somebody attempt
Speaker 1: it and then they fail, and then you go, okay,
Speaker 1: you have to redouble your efforts. Yeah, now I have
Speaker 1: to get behind whatever the next iteration of this fight is,
Speaker 1: rather than like not fighting at all, I mean Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1: I think just came out like two days ago. It
Speaker 1: was like, I support term limits for the Supreme Courts, Butlake,
Speaker 1: come the fuck on you have? You have these people
Speaker 1: with some of the most egregious behavior and we're still
Speaker 1: trying to act like whatever. Anyway. All that to say
Speaker 1: to your point earlier, Jackies, many researchers have said, all
Speaker 1: the evidence points to the fact that diversity and higher
Speaker 1: education improves learning outcomes for all students, and the benefits
Speaker 1: extend beyond graduation. It's not just some shit that you
Speaker 1: you're like diversity for four years, it like it stays
Speaker 1: with you. Those are formative experiences. And the other thing
Speaker 1: you're saying is which is true, is that whenever affirmative
Speaker 1: action has been eliminated, studies have consistently found that there
Speaker 1: are declines in the admission and enrollment of Black LATINX
Speaker 1: and Indigenous people. That's just what it is. Prop two
Speaker 1: nine and nineteen ninety six in California resulted in a
Speaker 1: twelve percent decline across the whole UC system. UC Berkeley
Speaker 1: and UCLA experienced the biggest fucking effects, a sixty percent
Speaker 1: drop in Black Latin X and Indigenous Folks's that's what
Speaker 1: this shit means. In two thousand and six, Michigan also
Speaker 1: had something called Prop two, and we saw again a
Speaker 1: decline and also happened in the University of Washington. The
Speaker 1: first class admitted to the University of Washington after the
Speaker 1: state banned the use of race and admissions, Black, LATINX
Speaker 1: and Native American enrollment made up seven percent as opposed
Speaker 1: to like almost eight and a half the year before.
Speaker 1: So it shows it comes out in everything. But the
Speaker 1: other thing that has happened, though, is that the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court they want everybody to be treated the same. Oh,
Speaker 1: except for the legacy applicants. Yeah, except for Yeah. The
Speaker 1: Court was seemingly had no problem with legacy admissions, which
Speaker 1: again we're talking about discriminating people. But what about I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. If you go all the way
Speaker 1: back to where this shit came from, this is from
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties or these this you know, practice of
Speaker 1: legacy admissions began. You know why they started doing this
Speaker 1: backdoor strategy for it to limit the number of Jewish,
Speaker 1: minority and immigrant students that were entering school by giving
Speaker 1: preference to the alumni's children who were seldom Jewish, black,
Speaker 1: are people of color or immigrants, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's very cynical. But again, this is I've only
Speaker 1: known the Supreme Court to be a very cynical body.
Speaker 1: At this point.
Speaker 3: We want someone think of the privileged children.
Speaker 1: Yeah, want of the Brett Kavanaughs. Who again, Brett Kavanaugh
Speaker 1: himself from a legacy admission to Yale, you know, because
Speaker 1: his grandfather went there and then but then when he
Speaker 1: was confronted with it, he lost it. And he's like,
Speaker 1: I got there because I was busting my tail, and
Speaker 1: by tail, I mean being the sperm of my grandfather,
Speaker 1: and I entered the egg and I became this person
Speaker 1: just by happenstance. So it's yeah, it's very very grim time,
Speaker 1: I would say.
Speaker 4: I also I also want white, white folks or non
Speaker 4: people of color who thinks, like, man, this sucks, This
Speaker 4: really does suck, but it doesn't really affect me. I
Speaker 4: guess whether it's because you're not of race, or you're
Speaker 4: not of college age anymore, or anything like this.
Speaker 3: This is likely just the beginning.
Speaker 4: Like they are coming for everything, y'all. They are coming
Speaker 4: for every They are coming for women productive rights, they
Speaker 4: are coming for LGBTQ, They are coming for black folks,
Speaker 4: they are they are coming for everything.
Speaker 3: And if you think this that this shit has.
Speaker 4: Been a rule for sixty years, fifty sixty years. If
Speaker 4: you think this is just like isolated or abortion rights
Speaker 4: was just isolated, now they coming for you too. They
Speaker 4: coming for whatever whatever rest group you belong to, whatever
Speaker 4: like group you belong to, that you are protected under
Speaker 4: the eyes of the government because there are ignorant people
Speaker 4: out here. They come and for your ass too. And
Speaker 4: so this is just the beginning, and it really fucking sucks.
Speaker 4: And like you guys said, I would love if we
Speaker 4: just had leadership in place who was like, you know what, Nah,
Speaker 4: we gonna codify this, We're gonna add more Supreme Court justices,
Speaker 4: we gonna make this because like, because I'm so tired
Speaker 4: of a feeling like elections matter for one side and
Speaker 4: then they don't matter for another, because that's how it
Speaker 4: can feel sometimes, and it's just like we're letting all
Speaker 4: this carnage happen from one election and we're doing not
Speaker 4: not we, but the people that we elected seemingly are
Speaker 4: doing nothing to the full extent that they could do
Speaker 4: something to and it's just frustrating.
Speaker 1: And I think it just reveals kind of where the
Speaker 1: energy is for each party, like what they're able to do.
Speaker 1: And I think again it's a lot of posturing and
Speaker 1: gesturing at the right moves from Democrats and then very seldom,
Speaker 1: you know, like I always point to that despicable like
Speaker 1: can take cloth and the rotunda taking that h twenty
Speaker 1: twenty just for what for what the most like incremental
Speaker 1: changes to like creating new standards for police accountability when
Speaker 1: you can do things like go after qualified immunity, that's
Speaker 1: like a real thing you could go after. But again,
Speaker 1: when I don't see that energy, I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 1: you don't have energy for like helping people. Clearly you
Speaker 1: just have energy to sort of at this point just
Speaker 1: take the blessing that is a Republican party and just say, well,
Speaker 1: we're not them, Okay, so do you want that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, then vote for us.
Speaker 1: Very very sad, but yeah, And again it just sucks
Speaker 1: for the like younger people out there who you know,
Speaker 1: are like, there's all these obstacles to try and get
Speaker 1: an education. And I get on some levels some it does.
Speaker 1: It might not make that sense for some people, but
Speaker 1: for those that do, it's either completely out of reach
Speaker 1: because of the finances or because the fact that maybe
Speaker 1: you were born in the wrong part of the country
Speaker 1: with the wrong kind of parents and that already puts
Speaker 1: a bunch of obstacles in your way that you know again,
Speaker 1: just pull yourself up, bust your tail, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, anyway, speaking of busting their tails, Ups Drivers,
Speaker 1: the Teamsters, they have announced the Teamsters unit has announced
Speaker 1: that they have walked away from the negotiating table with
Speaker 1: UPS because they said, look here, here's your only chance.
Speaker 1: Now we will take They said, give us your best
Speaker 1: and final offer by Friday, June thirtieth, or you know
Speaker 1: what I don't. We really see no reason to continue,
Speaker 1: you know, negotiating with you because we're constantly banging our
Speaker 1: heads against the wall. The Teamsters obviously, like any union
Speaker 1: right that is going on strike or talking about going
Speaker 1: to strike. It's all about more like fairer wages, better
Speaker 1: working conditions. And this is for over three hundred and
Speaker 1: forty thousand full time and part time workers.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: The executives have apparently been real shit bags when it
Speaker 1: comes to like working on like the economic points of
Speaker 1: this new contract to the point that they aren't even
Speaker 1: interested in talking about it. This is why the teams
Speaker 1: are walking away. They're like, well, what about wages. They're saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're not even to look at that, like, we can't
Speaker 1: raise wages or you know, give you additional benefits in
Speaker 1: any tangible way because their whole, their whole stance right
Speaker 1: now as UPS is they need everything to be cost neutral,
Speaker 1: meaning it does not affect what we currently spend or
Speaker 1: give to the workers. And this is on the background
Speaker 1: of UPS pulling in over one hundred billion dollars in
Speaker 1: revenue and their executives are making tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: But again they're like, wow, yeah, nothing for y'all. Though,
Speaker 1: nothing for y'all, it's just wild. They're like, the only
Speaker 1: thing we only thing we heard recently was that they
Speaker 1: agreed to like air conditioning, because that, I guess to
Speaker 1: them felt like a cost. They're like, yeah, I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess we could do that because yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, fine, I guess these people in these trucks se
Speaker 5: get up to one hundred and twenty degrees for fourteen
Speaker 5: hours a day. I guess they can have a little
Speaker 5: air conditioning as a treat. I guess that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's me.
Speaker 5: What no bathroom breaks, don't don't hydrate anything like that.
Speaker 5: But like, you know, we got some ac in your face,
Speaker 5: it's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, oh, you're looking at You're looking at
Speaker 1: an earnings call where we said we made all this
Speaker 1: money and profit. You know, you thought we were gonna
Speaker 1: share that with you. Come on, now, I guess I'm
Speaker 1: I'm pretty ignorant today.
Speaker 4: I I didn't realize that the CEOs of like ups
Speaker 4: and all these delivery companies made this much money because
Speaker 4: I'm like, because people, because nowadays we have shit like Prime,
Speaker 4: Like Prime Day is coming up, so I don't know
Speaker 4: when this strike is happening, but if it's happening during that,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be crazy. But like, we have shit like
Speaker 4: Prime or like shipping costs between two ninety nine and
Speaker 4: six seven dollars or something, so like I never equated
Speaker 4: as much as I guess I should have been. But
Speaker 4: and then also I'm like, and if anybody's making the money,
Speaker 4: if there's I mean any entity where the worker is
Speaker 4: working and the CEO is not doing shit, the workers
Speaker 4: should be making more money.
Speaker 3: But if anywhere should be making more money.
Speaker 4: He is a fucking delivery driver who is driving and
Speaker 4: carrying heavy shit and like there are some really great
Speaker 4: I mean, like I grew up on the South Side
Speaker 4: of Chicago. We knew our male man, like we were
Speaker 4: an invite a man for like like a cold drink,
Speaker 4: and he knew us by name and shit like that
Speaker 4: became a part of your like ecosystem and you know,
Speaker 4: small part of your family because you saw that motherfucker
Speaker 4: every day.
Speaker 3: And like my ups guy, like I gave him a
Speaker 3: Christmas present.
Speaker 4: He came to me like he dropped off his last
Speaker 4: like thing was like, hey, I'm retiring, and it was like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, dude, are so great. I moved and
Speaker 4: like he noticed my address on a on another address
Speaker 4: but the one that I.
Speaker 3: Was living at.
Speaker 4: He was like, oh he moved and he brought it
Speaker 4: to my act my real address. Like these workers don't
Speaker 4: just deliver shit, they like they are actually they take
Speaker 4: their shit so seriously and they have so much pride
Speaker 4: in it and they not making money for real.
Speaker 1: This is like, you know, the sort of absurdity of
Speaker 1: how like all of our like our wages work. The
Speaker 1: idea of it too, where you have all these people
Speaker 1: who just are executives who are doing abstract work, and
Speaker 1: then all the real fucking labor falls on the workers
Speaker 1: that are like, Yeah, I'm like, I want to see you, motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: I want to see you lift up a fucking forty
Speaker 1: one dag.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do one day, one day and show me you
Speaker 3: can do so. At this point with the ups, what
Speaker 3: is an executive a UPS doing? Like, are we rebranding?
Speaker 5: We're changing the brown slightly like.
Speaker 1: New markets on Earth? Y'all already place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like I've worked, I've worked in management before,
Speaker 4: so like you know, like I I like, fuck the
Speaker 4: man and ship, but like there are some like upper
Speaker 4: level management who like make decisions that truly like have
Speaker 4: an effect on how day to day works and shit
Speaker 4: like that. But the day to day of a delivery
Speaker 4: driver is drive your route and drop your all. There
Speaker 4: is nothing that in a second of is gonna do
Speaker 4: outside of just make this an easier life for your worker.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean and marketing and you know shit like
Speaker 4: that scheduling, Like give me a fucking break, that's c suite.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, just a way to capture all of that,
Speaker 1: you know, extracted wealth. You know what I mean, just
Speaker 1: be like right there to catch it with your job
Speaker 1: title and yeah that's why. So yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 1: like I said at the top of the show, I'm
Speaker 1: just waiting for the fucking like Wall Street op ed
Speaker 1: to come out where it's like, this is why the
Speaker 1: economy is gonna crash because these workers are advocating for
Speaker 1: themselves through collective action. And that's why the point you
Speaker 1: were making Jackie's earlier is there is a potential case
Speaker 1: I can get to the Supreme Court that would allow
Speaker 1: employers to fucking sue the workers for losses when they
Speaker 1: go on strike, to hold them accountable for the financial
Speaker 1: losses that occur for going on fucking strike.
Speaker 3: Man, It's just like, how it so crazy?
Speaker 5: Like they this is all such a like testament to
Speaker 5: people's like ability to not want to commit violence because
Speaker 5: the corner they keep pushing people into and I'm just like, man.
Speaker 3: What do you what do you exist?
Speaker 6: Fact?
Speaker 3: What do you fucking expect how far I think you
Speaker 3: can push?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the I don't happen because working people
Speaker 1: like like an abstract concept to people like that. That's
Speaker 1: what yesterday on the Trending episode we're talking about how
Speaker 1: like the head of Cartier, this like South African jeweler
Speaker 1: guy was like he's like it keeps me up at
Speaker 1: night that like technology will cause like even more structural
Speaker 1: inequality and the poor people will come for us.
Speaker 5: And it's like, yeah, yeah, there's ship that you can
Speaker 5: do to make make that not happen.
Speaker 1: Now, maybe give it can't be, it can't be. Don't
Speaker 1: make less. It can't be. Make less money. That can't
Speaker 1: be the answer because I'm worth seven billion dollars. I
Speaker 1: can't I have to be making more and I'm eighty.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, here right, what a profound loser to
Speaker 5: have that much money and not just be on vacation
Speaker 5: all the time.
Speaker 1: Like well, I mean, yeah, I get it's of a drug.
Speaker 1: You know. I think your wealth is a hell of
Speaker 1: a drug because it'll take you out of reality when
Speaker 1: you're high enough on that shit. And we see it
Speaker 1: all the time. There's another thing about how like Chloe
Speaker 1: kardash was talking about how she went to go get
Speaker 1: in and out and her mom gave her three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars because you didn't know how much it costs, and
Speaker 1: like this exactly how much is a ham like you
Speaker 1: got some hamber Okay, here's three hundred man.
Speaker 5: I read a Douglas Rushkov has like a book that
Speaker 5: came out earlier this year called like an Escape Fantasis
Speaker 5: of the Tech Billionaires, where he's like a like a
Speaker 5: gen x like a hacker, humanitarian guy that gets asked
Speaker 5: to like talk to people on tech about like the
Speaker 5: future and try to like keep incorporating people and it
Speaker 5: gets thrown around and stuff, and he got brought out
Speaker 5: to a conference early on into COVID in like the
Speaker 5: middle of the desert with a bunch of billionaires and
Speaker 5: their only questions for him were like, okay, so we're
Speaker 5: working on our bunkers. How do we keep our security
Speaker 5: from killing us when money is not real anymore? Like
Speaker 5: that was like that was like what they're that's where
Speaker 5: they're concerned was at their brains were already like okay,
Speaker 5: so the bunker, so we're going down, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's all gonna happen. So but maya Israeli mussad? How
Speaker 5: do I keep them from killing me and not stealing
Speaker 5: my food? And literally like their ideas were like what
Speaker 5: about dog collars? Like what about like dog collars? On people,
Speaker 5: and Douglas was in the meetings. He was like, what
Speaker 5: if we paid for their kids colleges? And you're like,
Speaker 5: you know, we didn't, but we don't need to be there.
Speaker 1: Buy them off. How about that? You know that tactic
Speaker 1: that y'all do, buying people off, paying people off, that's.
Speaker 3: All you got to do, Just do it to everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it is wild to think of, like the
Speaker 1: idea of like because they probably saw that moment in
Speaker 1: a Titanic when Billy's aine was trying to get on
Speaker 1: the fucking ship and he's like, yeah, here, take this money,
Speaker 1: my good man. That just like yo, mane, your money
Speaker 1: ain't gonna save you now. Will be the most horrific
Speaker 1: concept to the wealthy is the idea that there will
Speaker 1: there there's potentially will come in time where your money
Speaker 1: cannot save you. Yeah huh, well, but you.
Speaker 3: Know it can't save me when it all happens.
Speaker 4: Gonna buy my two Desert Eagles and be out on
Speaker 4: the street with the people, baby, well, be out on
Speaker 4: the street.
Speaker 1: Fifty caliber hamp a fucking handgune like that one of
Speaker 1: the time we put two hands on this ship.
Speaker 5: Anyway, give all the drones give all the drones to
Speaker 5: all the orcas and then it'll sort itself out.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break, uh, and we will
Speaker 1: be right back after this. And we're back and quickly.
Speaker 1: I just want to touch on Costco because it is
Speaker 1: a it is a story we talk about a lot here,
Speaker 1: and one that I've only had a membership to once
Speaker 1: because you know, I've always used other people's memberships, thank you, mom.
Speaker 1: But they announced they're gonna be cracking down on membership
Speaker 1: staring sharing, and I guess you know, it makes sense
Speaker 1: a lot of people who aren't members been using other
Speaker 1: people's cards at self checkout the new half because you know.
Speaker 3: They self check out at Costco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do the way you want to Casco membership
Speaker 4: and I don't use that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Oh use it. I do too, use it, and I'll
Speaker 1: put my like you do the thing where you put
Speaker 1: your thumb over the fucking face when you walk in.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, okay, go ahead, go ahead. But yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently now what is going to happen This has been
Speaker 1: like people are going to have to show their ideas
Speaker 1: at the self checkout to employees. So like at that point, like,
Speaker 1: are we really self checking out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, employees not gonna give a fuck.
Speaker 1: And this is the thing. So on TikTok, a lot
Speaker 1: of Costco employees are like, there's a lot of posts
Speaker 1: are going viral because a lot of people are just
Speaker 1: revealing they're like, Yo, we know motherfuckers are shit. Obviously
Speaker 1: we know y'all are sharing them like, yeah, we're not stupid.
Speaker 1: We don't give a fuck. That's the that's the only difference.
Speaker 1: That's it. We don't give a fuck. Come in here,
Speaker 1: we don't give them. I'm not mister Costco. I'm just
Speaker 1: working at the fucking I'm just highlighting receipts on the
Speaker 1: way out. And yeah, so they do the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's like it's very obvious, but we just don't care.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people have been also telling stories
Speaker 1: where they've used a family member's card but then got
Speaker 1: dinged for like quote fraudulent activity and even like escorted
Speaker 1: out of the store. And this was even before the
Speaker 1: new crackdown like announced was announced. So I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like they've claim on the website you can
Speaker 1: add affiliate members, but I've definitely felt I remember when
Speaker 1: I was nineteen, I fucking ran out of Costco. Like
Speaker 1: when they clocked that I was using my mom's card,
Speaker 1: like I panicked, like not because I was not, because
Speaker 1: they were even like, oh, you know, fucked up. They
Speaker 1: were just like, hold on, is this you? And in
Speaker 1: my mind it was like the cops is here and
Speaker 1: that's that ship and sprinted out of the one in
Speaker 1: Burbank and fucking just like like took off. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I thought I was gonna go to jail
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. I mean, maybe obviously a
Speaker 1: healthy fear of authority of being a personal color in
Speaker 1: this country, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah they should also like if if if your
Speaker 4: last name matches, shouldn't fucking matter, like what you are
Speaker 4: in there with your mom, like your mom is like
Speaker 4: sick and you need like to get some ship. Like
Speaker 4: if the last name, I mean, it shouldn't like they
Speaker 4: don't give a shit at all anyway, but like if
Speaker 4: the last name matches, or you or the address matches
Speaker 4: like on your ID or something something matchss where you
Speaker 4: could be like I'm in the household, who gives what
Speaker 4: they getting the money if.
Speaker 1: The last name matches allow us to buy toilet paper
Speaker 1: in batches Okay, there you go.
Speaker 3: I want to go Yeah, uck Costco who create the
Speaker 3: episode names.
Speaker 4: If you don't use that as an episode name, you're
Speaker 4: not doing your job.
Speaker 3: You're not doing your job.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of like this kind of like
Speaker 1: worker led like fuckery though too, where they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta check the idies, like yeah, for sure, for sure,
Speaker 1: They're like, man, you don't even fucking need a card, bro,
Speaker 1: just come in here, show me like a rectangular white
Speaker 1: piece of plastic and I'm just call that a card.
Speaker 5: Yeah for really, Look, if you're a looker at a
Speaker 5: place that is like taking the side of the boss
Speaker 5: over the consumer that is just trying to do their
Speaker 5: best and like get by in a world where like
Speaker 5: raspberries are nine dollars or whatever, rethink who you were
Speaker 5: loyal and who actually has your back in the world.
Speaker 1: That's why it's a little lost on me because ever
Speaker 1: since like after nineteen, I've used other people's Costco cards
Speaker 1: like without an incident. So that's what leads me to
Speaker 1: beave on. Like there's just got to be certain parts
Speaker 1: of like the state or the country where they're like
Speaker 1: super on their narc shit, being like this isn't you
Speaker 1: type of stuff because even like super Disrebecca just in
Speaker 1: the chest. He's like, I went to Costco yesterday and
Speaker 1: they've been checked. Shit, they just scanned it. Were like cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because most people don't have the fuck time.
Speaker 5: I think it's important that we're all like every union
Speaker 5: that ken is like striking and like taking things down.
Speaker 5: But I do think there also is like this silent
Speaker 5: strike that needs to be happening. It's like, what's like
Speaker 5: it's like quiet quitting, but like quiet striking employees are
Speaker 5: just letting people get away with ship as much as possible.
Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Have you guys?
Speaker 4: Have you guys seen that that boozy video about him
Speaker 4: talking about the grape jelly at McDonald's. No no, now,
Speaker 4: listen as somebody who also is like, yo, man, give
Speaker 4: me my damn grape jelly. Bro stop being standing with
Speaker 4: the grape jelly. Like he was like, he went he
Speaker 4: ordered like a biscuit sandwich and she was like, yo,
Speaker 4: can I get some grape jelly? And she only gave
Speaker 4: him one and he was like, yo, man, I need
Speaker 4: my ship. Messy, come up off that grape jelly. Man,
Speaker 4: who in my grape jelly?
Speaker 3: He was mad as well.
Speaker 4: He was like, he was like, if you the person
Speaker 4: that given ship about giving me threefolk, great jealous you
Speaker 4: about to be at McDonald's for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4: But what he's saying the mentality of like, if you
Speaker 4: care about this, but.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are other franchises that probably are monitoring shit,
Speaker 1: and they probably like there there's I'm sure on some
Speaker 1: level there's like retribution for giving away too many ranch
Speaker 1: packets or some shit all that to say, you know,
Speaker 1: we look the other way, you know.
Speaker 3: For all the costco as much as you can do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then finally I got to talk about the
Speaker 1: Shean influencer trip that was doing the rounds on social media, Twitter, Instagram,
Speaker 1: all over. So, the Chinese fashion brand Shean became the
Speaker 1: world's most popular fashion brand in twenty twenty two, thanks
Speaker 1: mainly to their I guess the tireless efforts of online
Speaker 1: influencers who have basically been at the center of like
Speaker 1: all their marketing. But now it seems like these influencers
Speaker 1: maybe you know, causing the company some problems because of
Speaker 1: this like very obvious propaganda trip that many people were
Speaker 1: put about this last week. But I think from the outside,
Speaker 1: it was always pretty clear like she and was up
Speaker 1: to some weird shit because like the clothes were like
Speaker 1: cheaper than you could ever believe. And and then reportedly
Speaker 1: they added anywhere between two thousand and ten thousand individual
Speaker 1: styles to its app each day between July and December
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. They just suddenly were like hoovering
Speaker 1: up different designs. They're like, yeah, we make that too,
Speaker 1: we make that too. And then people started looking into
Speaker 1: it found out that she and employees are being heart
Speaker 1: barely paid, working something like seventy five hour shifts, sometimes
Speaker 1: in informal factories set up in residential buildings or other
Speaker 1: like windowless places with no emergency exits. So you know,
Speaker 1: this isn't new. I mean, you know we've in the past,
Speaker 1: you know, like Apples used child like child label, like
Speaker 1: this is we've this is something that just exists because
Speaker 1: of you know, global capitalism. But now there's also like
Speaker 1: people are now talking more about the environmental impacts of
Speaker 1: fast fashion because it's putting out like untold levels of
Speaker 1: carbon as well, six point three million tons of carbon
Speaker 1: dioxide last year, and some products, like even the ones
Speaker 1: for kids have like wild levels of lead in them.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people were like, what's going on
Speaker 1: with Shean? So they basically, oh, on top of stealing
Speaker 1: ideas from other designers, that's another thing that happened, but
Speaker 1: then they would just hire them to quote unquote collaborate
Speaker 1: and then be like, here's some money, man, can we
Speaker 1: just can we just diad this, like stop talking about
Speaker 1: how we stole the idea and so for our brand.
Speaker 1: So now this last week we saw all these videos
Speaker 1: of like fashion influencers who went to China to like
Speaker 1: visit their quote factories and just give an update from
Speaker 1: their perspective as like unbiased people who are being flued
Speaker 1: out and being put up in nice hotels and even
Speaker 1: ten course meals to then go and talk about the
Speaker 1: conditions in a very you know, manicured, manufactured way. One
Speaker 1: of the influencers, who described themselves as a investigative journalist
Speaker 1: and confidence advocactive basically praise the whole thing. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play like a quick montage of how the like she
Speaker 1: in social like account was being like, look at all
Speaker 1: these great sound bites we got from these like really
Speaker 1: beautiful people.
Speaker 3: This made my blood blow.
Speaker 6: The fascinating thing is that I've seen in the exact
Speaker 6: process of she and clothing. I've seen how it's designed,
Speaker 6: I've seen how it's made, I've now I'm going to
Speaker 6: see how it's.
Speaker 3: Packaged and shipped off. And I feel like that's such
Speaker 3: a unique.
Speaker 6: Perspective to be able to see as not only a
Speaker 6: creator but a consumer.
Speaker 3: Of She and wow, wow, I want to beat her up.
Speaker 1: Then they have like all these like very wonderful like
Speaker 1: clips of them walking around the factory like it's high
Speaker 1: tech and it's like single worker. No, you know, not
Speaker 1: at all, not at all. Oh wait, let's let's get
Speaker 1: some more sound bites over here. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: This is when they're talking about the packaging and shipping process.
Speaker 3: It's like quiot into smaller badges.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, at that packing like for order an order.
Speaker 3: Of a shift.
Speaker 6: Okay, there's a lot of automation technology here. The other
Speaker 6: places this is like less human run and more technology
Speaker 6: and automation like put it to the actual process.
Speaker 3: So I'm really excited to see what that looks like.
Speaker 1: So they go on and they do all this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I was like, yeah, right, I was clocking
Speaker 1: a few different accounts, like just to see how some
Speaker 1: people had things. They're like, oh, some of you guys
Speaker 1: at like wrote me questions that you wanted me to
Speaker 1: ask them. So I asked the representative about things like wages,
Speaker 1: and they told us it's a very competitive wage and
Speaker 1: that's like it. They just they just took whatever the
Speaker 1: public like the pr line and just like we're like, okay, great, fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then like another person was talking about like how
Speaker 1: this is a fantastic thing. They're like this that the
Speaker 1: logic was the factory couldn't be a sweatshop because the
Speaker 1: workers quote weren't even sweating. I could be a sweatshop
Speaker 1: if they weren't even sweating.
Speaker 5: So like blast they see harder, blasted harder, bake it frigid,
Speaker 5: then it'll ever be a sweatshop.
Speaker 3: That's all it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then another one was like this is why
Speaker 1: it's important that you're an independent thinker, and like you
Speaker 1: have to go and see things with your own eyes,
Speaker 1: even though you're not like being honest that you were
Speaker 1: in like one of the most curated like optics managed
Speaker 1: trips like in recent memory.
Speaker 3: Well and there's like a part in the video where
Speaker 3: they're like they're loading up a box and they're having fun, and.
Speaker 5: I'm just like, uh huh okay, do that for seventy
Speaker 5: five hours straight? Yeah, and then take that paycheckt yeah
Speaker 5: yeah yeah. You also you'd be yelled at for the
Speaker 5: pace that you're doing it at, like go do one shift.
Speaker 3: Go do one shift and see how you actually feel.
Speaker 1: It's it's wild though, because once these videos came out,
Speaker 1: most people rightfully were like, y'all, are y'all really this
Speaker 1: fucking thick? They fucking flew you out to show like
Speaker 1: they're they're buttering you up obviously, so you then go
Speaker 1: and say I had a great time everything that they
Speaker 1: showed me that they sort of decided that that was
Speaker 1: something I could see as someone who would report back
Speaker 1: what's fine and there's absolutely no critical thing. A lot
Speaker 1: of these people took to their videos down like very quickly,
Speaker 1: and all it did was just drive up the conversation
Speaker 1: about what the fuck is going on with she? And so,
Speaker 1: you know, you win something, you lose some. I guess
Speaker 1: it's wild to see those.
Speaker 3: Like, don't buy this shit.
Speaker 5: It makes you look cheap as fuck too, It falls apart,
Speaker 5: It makes Forever twenty one look like legacy clothing, you
Speaker 5: know what.
Speaker 1: I mean, Yeah, like couture clothing from the a seventies
Speaker 1: or something like. It's like these are yeah, it's again,
Speaker 1: but this is where we're at, like with hyper consumption,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Everyone's so wowed by having
Speaker 1: like you know, war or this or that, like immediately,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, like it's it's
Speaker 1: just wild to see how like there are these constant
Speaker 1: ways of trying to trick the public into like everything's
Speaker 1: not as bad as it looks obviously, so please just
Speaker 1: continue to buy our very thin shirts.
Speaker 5: It's so wild too, because it's like I get it.
Speaker 5: If you like, if like retail therapy is like one
Speaker 5: of your things, go to go you know, to go
Speaker 5: to good Will, go to out the closet, go to
Speaker 5: any of these second hand places. You can find all
Speaker 5: the exact same stuff that you're finding.
Speaker 3: They got in.
Speaker 1: There, they do I'm seeing, yeah there.

Speaker 4: hard clints when.
Speaker 5: eBay, I bet you you got three miles.
Speaker 1: Both like I mean, look, I wish I could. I
Speaker 1: wish I could play it straight the whole time. But
Speaker 1: sometimes there's that little that little boy from the nineties
Speaker 1: and side to me whose parents didn't have enough money
Speaker 1: to buy some supports and they were always told, get
Speaker 1: a damn job if you want these sneakers, and they
Speaker 1: cut to I got a job, cut to my baby

Speaker 5: This Records. You can find me at burn This Record
Speaker 5: on Instagram for now and yeah, it's just putting out
Speaker 5: at a much fairer split than most of the other
Speaker 5: comedy labels. People that I think are really funny and
Speaker 5: work really hard and aren't getting to do in this
Speaker 5: really messed up system that we call a business. So
