Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined, as always by a
Speaker 1: very funny stand up comedian raised in Pittsburgh. That's right.
Speaker 1: I've never met a bad person from Pittsburgh. That's not true,
Speaker 1: but I like, I generally like people people from Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: have met plenty, but generally the people I meet from Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: including my life, are wonderful people. As Comedy Central Present
Speaker 1: Standard Special, truly hilarious. He just dropped a very funny
Speaker 1: sketch comedy album, funny songs and sketches, a lost art.
Speaker 1: Please welcome back to the show, the brilliant, the talented
Speaker 1: Joe quiz.
Speaker 2: Fellas. He sorry, I didn't prepare a song.
Speaker 1: I was brief.
Speaker 2: We'll give you a second.
Speaker 1: You prepared a number of songs on your new album,
Speaker 1: funny Songs and sketches.
Speaker 2: I don't very good transition. Yes you can.
Speaker 6: You can hear all my my silly little songs on
Speaker 6: the album There's I Love.
Speaker 2: I Love a comedy album.
Speaker 7: We were just saying, we're just saying this off my
Speaker 7: We're actually just talking of how much we missed the comedy,
Speaker 7: the sketches and songs albums of like you know, the
Speaker 7: heyday of like Adam Sandl Like I was like, I was, like,
Speaker 7: you know, my entry point into comedy was listening to
Speaker 7: fucking funny album and it's funny.
Speaker 3: How like everything just turned into like here's my stand
Speaker 3: up show and an album and it's like, but that's
Speaker 3: like your time to fucking do fun shit that you
Speaker 3: can't do on stage. And I think, yeah, I'm really
Speaker 3: looking forward to listening. I agree, thank you, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and I listen. I love stand up.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of stand up albums out there being
Speaker 6: released constantly, and you know, I understand that the effort
Speaker 6: to do a stand up album is you just do
Speaker 6: your act and you record it.
Speaker 2: I get why that is the.
Speaker 6: Road most traveled by comedians, but I agree, it's like,
Speaker 6: I don't know, if you're gonna put something out, like,
Speaker 6: why not just do something that is for the format, right.
Speaker 6: That's what was so exciting to be, like, yeah, do
Speaker 6: funny songs and then we'll, you know, try to create
Speaker 6: a little little comedic soundscape with these sketches and stuff.
Speaker 6: And it was a ton of fun.
Speaker 3: And it's like one of those things too, like especially
Speaker 3: because so many musicians are so many comedians typically have
Speaker 3: some kind of musical bone in their body, like, you know,
Speaker 3: because they're both sort of timing arts. Like you always
Speaker 3: I'm always like just like I always love seeing that
Speaker 3: dimension of people too, and then like to combine it
Speaker 3: is always dope and you got some fucking amazing people
Speaker 3: on this album.
Speaker 1: People.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was very lucky to you know, Convince slash Trick,
Speaker 6: some funny people to lend their voices. H Nick Kroll,
Speaker 6: David Cross, Io A Debris, Indie Richter, Carl Tart.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I heard.
Speaker 1: Carl Tart in there. I was like, that's Carl Tart.
Speaker 2: That's unmistakably Carl.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You got Tim Baltz too, from Righteous Gemstones.
Speaker 1: It got it.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah yeah, Tim Baltz is what he's have no
Speaker 6: Tim for so long back in the our Chicago days.
Speaker 2: Really really funny guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. Yeah. The first the everyone's gonna laugh at
Speaker 1: you is that? The the first Adam Sandler album like
Speaker 1: sketch comedy album. Is that the one with medium pace?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I believe so a medium pace made me laugh so
Speaker 1: hard it like changed the trajectory of my life when
Speaker 1: I was, you know, eleven years old.
Speaker 3: See, and it's funny because it was funny. We're just
Speaker 3: we're like four years apart Jack. So then I got
Speaker 3: in and What the hell happened to Me? Which was
Speaker 3: the album that came out in like three years after
Speaker 3: that one, and then yeah, it was all it was
Speaker 3: all downhill from there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Joe, we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about there there have been some kind
Speaker 1: of quiet victories in the story on police violence and
Speaker 1: just like you know, horrible policing in these United States. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so we're gonna talk about two of those, one
Speaker 1: having to do with the quote unquote medical condition excited
Speaker 1: delirium that came up has come up a lot in
Speaker 1: the course of just wrongful death and you know, unjust
Speaker 1: uses of force by the police, particularly against black men
Speaker 1: and brown people. So we're gonna talk about that. We're
Speaker 1: also gonna talk about New Orleans has accidentally made a
Speaker 1: really good case for defunding the piece. So no, uh,
Speaker 1: that's my impression of someone from New Orleans and Miles
Speaker 1: you you brought a profound question that needed to be asked. Man,
Speaker 1: what is happening with fridge manufacturers and the fridge magnet?
Speaker 1: They're abandon in it, they're going away, he said, we're
Speaker 1: both going it's and you like dug it, You dug
Speaker 1: into like what the reason is and it is like
Speaker 1: the most classiest bullshit it's ever seen, since it's so wild.
Speaker 1: They're trying to save us from ourselves from having cracky
Speaker 1: looking fucking it's crazy. This is wild. Yeah, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk about we might just have to talk about that
Speaker 1: like right away, but well, we'll get to it all
Speaker 1: that plenty more. We also have to give a shout
Speaker 1: out to the user who pointed out when we were
Speaker 1: talking about song sequels, pointed out that we missed one
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs of all time, Shook One's Part two.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: The reason I would say that I missed that. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: now we're doing excuses. I did not know it was
Speaker 1: an actual sequel. I did because I was not familiar
Speaker 1: with Shook One's Part one. Yeah, and I was like, noah,
Speaker 1: maybe it was just called shook ones. Like you don't
Speaker 1: call it chook One's Part one. Obviously didn't call it
Speaker 1: die Hard Part one when Diehard came out, But Shook
Speaker 1: One's the original didn't come out on the first album. No,
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't on that album came out. It was
Speaker 1: like Leonard Part six.
Speaker 2: Shook One's Part two is like there, I believe their
Speaker 2: debut single like they came out on Shook One's Part two,
Speaker 2: which I think is maybe maybe genius marketing.
Speaker 1: It is genius marketing, but I never it's like we
Speaker 1: have a depth of catalog. You're not even familiar with motherfuckers,
Speaker 1: right right right? Yeah, So enter the thirty sixth Chamber
Speaker 1: being the Wu Tang album.
Speaker 4: What about the thirty five previous so much listening to yeah,
Speaker 4: or you're gonna be like me when like the MC
Speaker 4: it's like, well, I can't get into this now if
Speaker 4: there's thirty five other chambers I need to listen to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, yeah, but it's I get I was trying
Speaker 1: to think of like a film corollary where there was
Speaker 1: a completely unknown first and then the second is the
Speaker 1: thing that hit, and I guess like Mad Max would
Speaker 1: be that.
Speaker 2: Like the generation Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, First, the first Mad Max was just like it
Speaker 1: came out in Australia and was like kind of you know,
Speaker 1: an underground success. And then they made like The Road Warrior,
Speaker 1: the one that like everybody eventually found out about, like
Speaker 1: with a budget, and it was kind of a remake
Speaker 1: of the first one, not really actually, but so yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe like yeah, it does have a corollary, but song sequels,
Speaker 1: I will still say somewhat rare.
Speaker 6: Have you guys ever seen or heard of Southland Tales? Yes,
Speaker 6: Richard Kelly follow up to Donnie Darko, Yeah, oh yeah right, rights.
Speaker 6: It's confusing for a lot of reasons, but one of
Speaker 6: them is that it's meant to be like parts four
Speaker 6: through six of a story that begins in a graphic
Speaker 6: novel series that was not released, but during the film
Speaker 6: festival when it premiered, they tried to give them out
Speaker 6: to people, unsuccessfully.
Speaker 1: They're like, you're gonna need to do some background reading.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is part The movie was parts four through six,
Speaker 3: but here here's one through six.
Speaker 2: You can kind of yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean like it worked with so I love Richard Kelly,
Speaker 1: like ambition to be like this is gonna be the
Speaker 1: next Star Wars, so like I started episode four. But
Speaker 1: the thing that people underestimate is Star Wars is so stupid,
Speaker 1: Like the first Star Wars is so simple, and like
Speaker 1: it's like dark dark side is bad dark and light
Speaker 1: is good. Now lie Stars, Yeah, to do some Wars.
Speaker 1: Like when it's that simple, you can get away with
Speaker 1: doing like a four, five, six to kick things off,
Speaker 1: but yeah, not Richard Kelly's busts. Yeah, God bless him.
Speaker 1: All Right, before we get to any of it, Joe,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 2: Recently?
Speaker 6: I searched oreo Most Stuff and that's stuff stuf. Are
Speaker 6: you guys familiar with the different tiers of stuff that
Speaker 6: Oreo is now fucking with? I mean I thought it
Speaker 6: ended a double Oh no, you you were going to
Speaker 6: beautiful awakening here, so obviously double stuff was changed the game,
Speaker 6: you know, a complete paradigm shift.
Speaker 2: But they didn't stop there. They after that.
Speaker 6: They have something called mega stuff, okay, which you know
Speaker 6: is just as you can imagine more stuff and.
Speaker 1: Given too much stuff, some would say, yeah.
Speaker 2: You might, but some of us live dangerously.
Speaker 6: Mega stuff you can get in the stores pretty readily now,
Speaker 6: but yeah, now.
Speaker 1: Stuff you have to go behind the grocery store into
Speaker 1: the alley most They've got most stuff, and the amount
Speaker 1: of stuff is obscene.
Speaker 6: And my girlfriend and I saw it when we were
Speaker 6: in Oklahoma and we were like, oh, they've got most stuff.
Speaker 6: Now we got to try that. And now that we're
Speaker 6: back in La we are having a hard time finding it.
Speaker 6: And so I'm I'm doing the work and I'm a
Speaker 6: to find this. That is what people mean when they
Speaker 6: use that phrase as as I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, doing the work of trying to find the
Speaker 1: most stuff I think they are. They look to be
Speaker 1: available on Amazon.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can get them on fuck Amazon. Amazon.
Speaker 6: You can get them on a website called Galactic Snacks,
Speaker 6: which I just did a gigantic purchase of and did
Speaker 6: not order the Oreo Most Stuff because I assumed i'd
Speaker 6: be able to find it. This happened in between my
Speaker 6: discovering they existed and realizing they're not available near me.
Speaker 1: They look like they are Oreo cookies smashing a marshmallow.
Speaker 1: Like that's how big the stuff is.
Speaker 3: One cookie as eleven grams. Hell yeah, let's go. So
Speaker 3: you eat five of those and you've already hit your
Speaker 3: daily sugar limit.
Speaker 2: But yeah, and I will. Those are just that's just like.
Speaker 1: The FDA's opinion. Man, that's just like your opinion. Do
Speaker 1: you have a so my contention for me, I guess
Speaker 1: it's not a contention, it's just my personal you know,
Speaker 1: taste is the optimum amount of cookie two stuff ratio
Speaker 1: is big macking two Oreos together? So you pull one
Speaker 1: of the cookie sides off and you put it on
Speaker 1: top of another oreo, so you have three cookie two
Speaker 1: stuff ratio and then a lucy with with no creams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you just have the lucy and you just
Speaker 1: you have that as in a mouse boosh, as a
Speaker 1: muz boosh. You but you sprinkle it over your cereal
Speaker 1: the next morning. You can just you can just put
Speaker 1: it in like a plastic baggy and just crunch it
Speaker 1: up and that that becomes an ingredient for future ice
Speaker 1: cream treats.
Speaker 2: You know it's gonna stop you. Yeah. Wait, so how
Speaker 2: do we get region locked out of getting most stuff?
Speaker 2: Like you're saying you saw it in the wild in Oklahoma, Like,
Speaker 2: come you come to California and then you're like, I
Speaker 2: can't fucking find it anywhere.
Speaker 6: This is something I will be reaching out to Newsome
Speaker 6: will be very strongly worded and yeah in my letter
Speaker 6: for all the California bashing that Sean Hannity does, this
Speaker 6: is like really easy I think to get people like
Speaker 6: turned up on. They're like, you know they can't even
Speaker 6: have most stuff Oreoles, that's how much these snowflake I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's it's.
Speaker 1: Got a damn point right there.
Speaker 6: What I was able to determine is, and I've never
Speaker 6: done this before. I'm not a door dash guy. It's
Speaker 6: just not something I do. But I could order it
Speaker 6: for there's a pickup option option for door Dash where
Speaker 6: you can go to I think their warehouse or something,
Speaker 6: and it's in downtown. And I considered ordering two dollars
Speaker 6: worth of most stuff cookies and then picking it up.
Speaker 6: But I'm not there yet. I didn't make it to
Speaker 6: that point, but it's probably around the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, embrace it, just embrace it. Yeah, is double stuff?
Speaker 1: Do you have a like preferred ratio of cookie?
Speaker 2: I think I think I think double stuff is probably
Speaker 2: the right amount.
Speaker 1: Yeah, double stuff.
Speaker 2: And there's also if you go in the other direction,
Speaker 2: you've got the fins. If you've seen the Oriel fins,
Speaker 2: that's way too little.
Speaker 6: But for some freaks, you know, let them let their
Speaker 6: flag fly with the fins exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going.
Speaker 1: Deep dish style with my oreoles for sure.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like to the point where I whenever
Speaker 3: I recently I bought them, I'll just buy double stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's really the standard for me at this point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've calibrated to double stuff being saying deep dish
Speaker 6: style though makes me think of like a cookie with
Speaker 6: then just the a lot of cream on top and
Speaker 6: then you cut into it with a knife and eat it.
Speaker 2: No top cookie at all. Yeah pie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shocking that Oreo pie is not like just
Speaker 1: a straight up Oreo cookie crust filled just with the
Speaker 1: thing to the brim with stuff.
Speaker 2: Baby, that's we're onto something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that's pretty gross like to even imagine,
Speaker 1: but I would try it for sure. What uh, Joe.
Speaker 6: What's something you think is over it? Las Vegas? A
Speaker 6: lot of friends who Las Vegas is a destination. First
Speaker 6: time I went, I was like, I cannot believe how
Speaker 6: much of a scam this openly is.
Speaker 2: Like I like, they're really not.
Speaker 6: Hiding it, you know, they're they're selling the high roller
Speaker 6: lifestyle to people who can't afford it, and those people
Speaker 6: are hopping it up like dogs, And it's really it
Speaker 6: almost doesn't even feel like deception because it's it's all there.
Speaker 6: You can all the information is there. You will go
Speaker 6: and you will lose a ton of money with the promise,
Speaker 6: with a very American promise that you could get rich,
Speaker 6: buying into the system that is built specifically to take
Speaker 6: everything you have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Luck be a lady to night.
Speaker 2: Hey, you win with that attitude, Joey. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you something. Let me tell you.
Speaker 3: You gotta lose three hundred to make three hundred.
Speaker 2: You know what I meant to lose.
Speaker 1: Money to make money. You gotta lose two hundred.
Speaker 2: You never were in the game, pal, You.
Speaker 1: Gotta lose your children's entire college funds to make children's college.
Speaker 3: At a blackjack table already, and I'm like, yeah, ude,
Speaker 3: I'm broke. They're like, you gotta lose, like you know,
Speaker 3: you gotta lose come out three hundred to start winning.
Speaker 3: I'm like that sounds a fucking wild, dude, Like I
Speaker 3: think I was like reckless even cashing in like a
Speaker 3: hundred bucks here.
Speaker 2: Right, No, totally.
Speaker 6: And I'm also like really astounded by how not I mean,
Speaker 6: like we were affecting that kind of rat packing voice.
Speaker 6: But you go into a casino and there's there's nothing
Speaker 6: classy about it. It's just like a bunch of flashing lights.
Speaker 6: Everything is like a giant iPhone, you know.
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, you don't then iPhones that take your money.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like huge screens where at least I don't know,
Speaker 6: maybe at one point there was a charm and you
Speaker 6: can still like pull a level if you want, but most.
Speaker 2: Of it is digital. Yeah, just gaudy and not like
Speaker 2: you kind of want.
Speaker 6: I mean I would want like, oh, let's get a
Speaker 6: little bit of a little bit of velvet, a little this,
Speaker 6: and maybe you get that some places, but for the
Speaker 6: most part, it's all just really yellow and gross.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so funny, Like I have such a I
Speaker 3: used to go there a lot when I was younger,
Speaker 3: you know, because I was just kind of into like,
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of my friends are just into that,
Speaker 3: like it's going Vegas.
Speaker 1: Man, right.
Speaker 3: And then I hadn't gone for a few years, and
Speaker 3: then Jack and I recently went over the summer to
Speaker 3: go see like the NBA Summer League, and it was
Speaker 3: like surreal, where like I was feeling like I was
Speaker 3: watching like an old part of myself die while I
Speaker 3: was there, and also seeing like a new future from us,
Speaker 3: Like I was like, wait, these smells, Like I used
Speaker 3: to be blacked out in these lobbies, like not knowing
Speaker 3: what was going on, and now I'm like, uh, it
Speaker 3: feels a little different.
Speaker 1: I just is it an underage drinking destination, like when
Speaker 1: you live three hours from it? Cause like I when
Speaker 1: I was in high school, I drove to from Boston
Speaker 1: to Montreal to to get fucked up.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah nah, I mean that's how my problem was.
Speaker 3: It was just like to Joe's point, like it was
Speaker 3: like I was on that Mirage ship where I'm like,
Speaker 3: let's go to Vegas. Now I only have circus circus money,
Speaker 3: so like to stay there. So like for sure the
Speaker 3: place I'm gonna stay is so fucked up that I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna be so fucked up that I don't have
Speaker 3: to go back to that room until like four in
Speaker 3: the morning.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: And But at the same time, like I was always
Speaker 3: like feeling myself when I was there because I was
Speaker 3: putting so much like weight into like partying in Vegas
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Hey, but you can drive a Lambo out
Speaker 3: there and shoot a fucking machine gun, so yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. Got me right back, That's all
Speaker 1: I want to do. When I wake up in the morning,
Speaker 1: I wake up quaking with just a desire to shoot
Speaker 1: a machine gun out of the window of a Lambo
Speaker 1: and drive by. Yeah, what's uh, what's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Joe?
Speaker 2: Math?
Speaker 6: Now, I feel like, and it might be a distinctly
Speaker 6: American thing, but I feel like it has almost become
Speaker 6: hacky to be like, hey, I'm not good with math. Actually,
Speaker 6: little thing about me? Yeah, actually I don't do math.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like I was never going at math.
Speaker 1: Oh God, maybe a bad at math actually leads directly
Speaker 1: to my enjoyment of Las Vegas. I will see these.
Speaker 2: Things might be counted now that we get into it.
Speaker 2: I think they might be.
Speaker 6: But you know, I feel like we are we are
Speaker 6: taught math in a pretty bad way. I think it
Speaker 6: has made out to be more difficult than it actually is.
Speaker 6: And we have such a weird hang up about math
Speaker 6: because you know, famously our country has ranked pretty low
Speaker 6: when it comes to our kids doing math, and so
Speaker 6: recently they have tried to change this. Do you ever
Speaker 6: see those like viral posts where a parent is like,
Speaker 6: look what they're trying to teach. They're trying to teach
Speaker 6: my kid math. I knows how to do math. Okay,
Speaker 6: this ain't it. It's like it's just math, yeah, common core,
Speaker 6: and like clearly we are trying to address a problem.
Speaker 6: Like we can all agree everybody hates math and we're
Speaker 6: not good at it, and so they try to change
Speaker 6: it to make it a little bit more intuitive. And
Speaker 6: those same people who are like, I'm not good at math,
Speaker 6: they see it.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, a friend of mine showed me her
Speaker 3: son's math homework, like in a text with some other friends,
Speaker 3: and she's like, she's like I'm She's like, I'm realizing
Speaker 3: that we were were fucking dumb, like with the way
Speaker 3: like she's like, this makes more sense. I was like totally,
Speaker 3: I'm so said in my old ways of how I
Speaker 3: like conceptualized numbers and things that, like I can't move
Speaker 3: on to that. But when I saw that, I was like, oh, interesting,
Speaker 3: Like I think just through brute force, I was just
Speaker 3: like memorizing relationships to numbers totally. And that's why I
Speaker 3: was decent at math, because like my memory recall was
Speaker 3: good and really not because I was like, oh, this
Speaker 3: is how they go together, and I'm like seven and
Speaker 3: a five always make a two, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like just stuff like that was how I was seeing it.
Speaker 2: But you, yeah, and.
Speaker 6: That's not how like I'm similar, Like I was pretty
Speaker 6: decent at that memorization, but like you, you really want
Speaker 6: to think more. And I think what they're doing is
Speaker 6: like seven and five. You take the three from the five,
Speaker 6: make that seven to ten and then ten and two
Speaker 6: makes sense right right right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I got yeah, Like if you want to picture
Speaker 1: how math works for me, just like picture the parts
Speaker 1: and like beautiful mind where there's like a cloud of
Speaker 1: numbers just going around the head like it's all but
Speaker 1: you still is all so easy for me, guys, It's
Speaker 1: just it fucking every time someone asked me to do math,
Speaker 1: I do the good will hunting hunting thing. I light
Speaker 1: this shit on fire. I say, you have any idea
Speaker 1: how easy this is for me? And that helps me
Speaker 1: then not have to do the math problem, right, which
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I just love the idea though, that you do see
Speaker 2: all the numbers floating in space, but it's just so disorienting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like flies, yeah, like the you swatting that man.
Speaker 1: Very unbautiful mind I have, but yeah, I have a Well,
Speaker 1: one of my sons is a math guy. He just
Speaker 1: like it's always made sense to him. That's great, he
Speaker 1: like excitedly like told me a trick he like figured
Speaker 1: out for doing, like adding big numbers this morning. And
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's I was never excited, Like.
Speaker 3: All right, you know, didn't I teach you not to
Speaker 3: be showing off all the thout.
Speaker 1: I raised than that? I said, not to make daddy
Speaker 1: look dumb like that. Some reason I thought common the
Speaker 1: common core thing was called new math, and it was
Speaker 1: being spelled in my brain and you.
Speaker 2: Met, Yeah, for sure, why wouldn't any I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: if he wanted to catch on, maybe try listening to
Speaker 2: a marketing genius and spell it.
Speaker 1: And you math.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apply the puddle of my rules to me, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. We got two stories that
Speaker 1: are kind of small, under the radar victories in the
Speaker 1: war against unpunished rampant police violence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
Speaker 1: one of them involves a medical condition rute unquote medical condition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I use quote unquote because this is something called
Speaker 3: excited delirium that has been used to rationalize or justify
Speaker 3: or explain the deaths of people that have been in
Speaker 3: police custody. And it shows up like a lot as
Speaker 3: the cause of death on the death certificates of you know,
Speaker 3: disproportionately of black men that have died in police custody.
Speaker 3: And it's now being debunked by the same medical group
Speaker 3: that was like being like, yeah, it's a fucking thing.
Speaker 3: And now the state of California has explicitly banned doctors
Speaker 3: and medical examiners from using the term as a cause
Speaker 3: of death, which is which is a some somehow a
Speaker 3: breakthrough for for our justice system. But like recently it
Speaker 3: was it was used to explain the death of if
Speaker 3: you remember that innocent young black man Elijah McClain who
Speaker 3: was choked and then he was dosed with ketamine when
Speaker 3: police custody.
Speaker 2: The cause of his death was listed as.
Speaker 3: You know, excited delirium, and the term has been used
Speaker 3: like for decades and like even Derek Chauvin's defense team
Speaker 3: considered using it to explain how George Floyd died. And
Speaker 3: the fucked up thing is this condition has again it's
Speaker 3: disproportionately used to describe like the deaths or explain the
Speaker 3: deaths of black and brown people in police custody. Like
Speaker 3: in the eighties, they would be like, Okay, this black
Speaker 3: guy died in police custody, that will call it excited delirium.
Speaker 3: This white guy it was complications from cocaine toxicity. Like
Speaker 3: it was that like sort of like fifty to fifty
Speaker 3: with stuff of how things are being explained. And typically
Speaker 3: these deaths result after someone is being violently restrained by
Speaker 3: police and or taste and or sedated with ketamine. And
Speaker 3: like the description of excited him sounds like a fucking
Speaker 3: racist psa from like the fucking reconstruction era about like
Speaker 3: the dangers of the black person, it says, according to
Speaker 3: the two thousand and nine paper, excited delirium symptoms include
Speaker 3: superhuman strength, being impervious to pain, aggressive behavior, and sudden death.
Speaker 1: And you're like, what the fuck wait what hate sudden death? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just throw a sudden death in there. But first of all,
Speaker 1: superhuman strength is not a thing that a human can have,
Speaker 1: Like that's what, what the fuck are you talking Like,
Speaker 1: that's from a work of fiction, superhuman strength, Like you're yes.
Speaker 2: Detective Comics number one both.
Speaker 1: Write impervious to pain, aggression. It's just like we we
Speaker 1: look back at like hysteria and wandering uterus and we're
Speaker 1: like Wow, those people sure were dumb the eighteen hundreds
Speaker 1: and how they treated women, And it's like, no, you
Speaker 1: we live in a time like that, Like that is
Speaker 1: happening regularly every day. They're using fucking pseudoscience, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to make things worse. Like, so one of like
Speaker 3: the like the most dominant manufacturers of Taser's axon, like
Speaker 3: they make body cameras and shit, they have connections with
Speaker 3: the like medical board that was tasked with looking into
Speaker 3: excited delirium because taser manufacturers always point to excited delirium
Speaker 3: to explain how someone could have died when their weapons
Speaker 3: were used during someone being in police custody. They're like
Speaker 3: it's like their go to thing. So like there's been
Speaker 3: a whole like lobbying effort on the on the behalf
Speaker 3: of the taser industry to also get this to become
Speaker 3: like a commonplace explanation for people dying in police custody.
Speaker 3: So again it's also this this whole sort of quote
Speaker 3: unquote medical condition has been used to justify sedating people
Speaker 3: with ketamine again, which is terrible, right and again, and
Speaker 3: the group that first began to legitimize the term, the
Speaker 3: American College of Emergency physicians. They're now reversing course on
Speaker 3: this previously published study, So it's a first step. Obviously,
Speaker 3: California is the first state to like explicitly ban this on.
Speaker 3: Maybe other places will follow suit, But I mean this
Speaker 3: has been something that like in the medical community, there's
Speaker 3: been a lot of pushback on there, Like, I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can really get away with
Speaker 3: saying this is like a thing, and it's been we're
Speaker 3: now finally getting to that place where it seems like
Speaker 3: it's becoming more mainstream to say this is fucking nonsense
Speaker 3: and it's just it's a terrible justification for death and
Speaker 3: police custody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a rationalization to kill innocent people in custody.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the term itself really does Like in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three, you're like, this sounds like a movie from
Speaker 6: the forties where like Carry Grant slaps a woman and
Speaker 6: it's like, you're hysterical. Yeah, they go to what doctor.
Speaker 6: It's like, well, I believe she's has excited delirium.
Speaker 1: The doctor's played by Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, Well, she has excited delirium.
Speaker 2: Then will have to lock her away for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she needs not.
Speaker 8: To meet immediately so much so much of the police,
Speaker 8: the ship that the police rely on, like whether it
Speaker 8: be like, you know, their tactics for solving crimes, for
Speaker 8: quote unquote solving.
Speaker 1: Crime, Like they're so fucking bad at their jobs in
Speaker 1: so many different ways, with all ways that have been
Speaker 1: in ways that have been completely scientifically debunked, and they're
Speaker 1: still doubling down on them like it's it's wild. So
Speaker 1: that leads right into this next story from New Orleans. So,
Speaker 1: New Orleans was the quote murder capital of America in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and since then, in the year twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, they have been seeing a massive drop in murders.
Speaker 1: Homicides have fallen by twenty four percent compared to this
Speaker 1: time last year, and according to experts, it's not exactly
Speaker 1: clear why. Like experts love to take a guess when
Speaker 1: the answer is when they when their guesses like think,
Speaker 1: I think we need more cops or something. But in
Speaker 1: this case, in this case, the experts are like, god,
Speaker 1: we're not we're not clear here. We gotta take pump
Speaker 1: the brakes on this one. But yeah, so it's not
Speaker 1: just homicides aggregated aggravated batteries have fallen by twenty percent.
Speaker 1: Non fatal shootings are down eighteen percent, and it would
Speaker 1: lead the brain, a brain such as mine raised on
Speaker 1: movies where cops are the fucking protagonists, Like what's going
Speaker 1: on here? Are did they put more cops on the street?
Speaker 1: Are there better cops? What's happening? And the answer is no,
Speaker 1: they're way less cops. The New Orleans PD has been
Speaker 1: steadily hemorrhaging officers for more than a decade because of
Speaker 1: early retirements and a lack of people wanting to actually
Speaker 1: be a New Orleans cop basically so and they only
Speaker 1: have around nine hundred officers for a sixteen hundred officer
Speaker 1: police department. They've lost twenty percent of their workforce in
Speaker 1: just the last three years alone. They're just like they're
Speaker 1: at crisis levels to the point that the mayor is
Speaker 1: not funding their department like they want to be increased, Like, well,
Speaker 1: who's the money gonna go to? Yeah, he's not funded.
Speaker 1: Yeah at the levels that it normally is. They're still
Speaker 1: way overfunded, but they're just not being funded at the
Speaker 1: full levels because they have like almost half the number
Speaker 1: of officers that they're supposed to have and so less
Speaker 1: cops on the street, crime is going down. The police
Speaker 1: are actively trying to boost their numbers by and this
Speaker 1: is just so, this is why this is such an
Speaker 1: interesting thing because it's happening in like a panic to
Speaker 1: the police. It's not like a pilot program being launched
Speaker 1: by non police forces. Police. Yeah, Like, it's not a
Speaker 1: pilot program that the police can then sabotage and like
Speaker 1: get their hands around, like fucking with it and you know, bake,
Speaker 1: like messing with the numbers. It's something that the police
Speaker 1: are involved with because they're in a desperate situation because
Speaker 1: they don't have enough police and so because of that,
Speaker 1: they're trying a lot of the things that people have
Speaker 1: been suggesting we do instead of like just overfunding police forces,
Speaker 1: such as hiring unarmed civilians to respond to less risky
Speaker 1: police duties. So they're like they have former police unarmed
Speaker 1: people showing up when there's like a car accident, for instance,
Speaker 1: and those things don't get escalated into a shooting like
Speaker 1: they might otherwise. They're trying to poach people from the
Speaker 1: church through setting up recruitment events at a local seminary.
Speaker 6: Well, yes, it's wild that this is working in of
Speaker 6: all places New Orleans where in my experience, a person
Speaker 6: off the street is holding a yard's worth of frozen
Speaker 6: dacream and screaming where's the jazz, And that those people
Speaker 6: are decidedly more qualified to de escalate than the police
Speaker 6: is really saying something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I tell you fair. My catchphrase is
Speaker 1: where's the jazz? Where's the jazz? Do like to enter
Speaker 1: a room and just say that while giving jazz?
Speaker 2: Hands you dressed like one of the ladies from the
Speaker 2: Wendy's commercial, You're like, you get it. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: where's the beef. I'm saying, word's it? Anyway?
Speaker 3: But like, I think this points again to like you're saying,
Speaker 3: like alternatives to policing are about like the like community intervention,
Speaker 3: about being able, like the community itself being able to
Speaker 3: like that knows each other can solve certain things better
Speaker 3: than an armed goon squad that pulls up and just like,
Speaker 3: oh is it this guy? Okay, gets your hands up,
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean? Like it doesn't. It's
Speaker 3: just not working the same way. But I just love
Speaker 3: again that they're like, oh my god, the numbers are
Speaker 3: going down. How do you explain and they can't be
Speaker 3: and it's not like, well we have less, we got nothing.
Speaker 3: We're still looking into it. It could mean that we're
Speaker 3: basically maybe funding some programs better too.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because yeah, no, it cuts the whole
Speaker 2: fucking narrative that we rely on.
Speaker 1: But I really think there's something like when it is
Speaker 1: coming from outside the police force and the police view
Speaker 1: it as a like opponent, they will like fuck with it.
Speaker 1: But in this case, because it's coming out of crisis
Speaker 1: and because they just like can't hire people like I,
Speaker 1: it seems like it's being allowed to do what it does,
Speaker 1: which is like actually make people's lives better. Like we
Speaker 1: we talked about the thing of the idea of just
Speaker 1: like some people. Instead of having armed police, you have
Speaker 1: just some people, just like people who are able to
Speaker 1: use their brain to help solve problems, like and who
Speaker 1: are put in this position because they have empathy. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a thing where they are
Speaker 1: going into this position because they want to be able
Speaker 1: to legally carry a gun and shoot people, but instead
Speaker 1: they are interested in solving helping their fellow like citizens
Speaker 1: solve problems in their lives. Like this has been a
Speaker 1: long term thing in Eugene, Oregon that has worked really well,
Speaker 1: and like when you read accounts of it, it's not complicated.
Speaker 1: It's like this person is under the influence. They're having
Speaker 1: a disagreement with their partner, and so this person like
Speaker 1: comes and like gives them a ride somewhere to like
Speaker 1: get them out of the situation, and like they're too
Speaker 1: drunk to drive somewhere, and so it's just like it's like,
Speaker 1: what is just like being a member of the community,
Speaker 1: and it's not that complicated. It's just it becomes complicated
Speaker 1: when the person you're putting in that category is a
Speaker 1: police officer with a fucking gun, who is like, you know,
Speaker 1: part of an institution that has just been like baking
Speaker 1: and basting in fucking racism for decades and decades and decades.
Speaker 2: Also, like the conflict resolution model of a police officer
Speaker 2: is hey, do this thing. I'm saying, no, get your
Speaker 2: fucking hands up. It's like what, yeah, Like.
Speaker 3: It's so funny when you watch like police interactions in
Speaker 3: other countries and like, you know, I was like, Wow,
Speaker 3: I'm amazed with the patience of this police officer because
Speaker 3: I'm like in my mind, I'm like, yeah, man, just
Speaker 3: fucking get your gun out right, like and just fucking
Speaker 3: threaten them. Yeah, and the fact that that kind of
Speaker 3: like sequence of escalation doesn't happen, I'm sure leads to
Speaker 3: a lot of better outcomes. But yeah, more than that,
Speaker 3: I mean, like I think too, this is part of
Speaker 3: the larger trend that you know, violent crimes have been
Speaker 3: like went down.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two too. Yeah, and this is like
Speaker 1: part of the whole crime wave shit that was twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. Like, crimes have been going down, and the
Speaker 1: only thing just the caveat there is hate crimes and
Speaker 1: property crimes have gone up a lot though, that's the
Speaker 1: fucked up part.
Speaker 2: Violent crimes and things like that have decreased, but hate
Speaker 2: crimes and property crimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's so some people are like, well, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the pandemic and crime and like murders spiked during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But like, when you look at the explanation for what
Speaker 1: actually happened during the pandemic, the thing that most like
Speaker 1: non biased experts seem to have settled on it was
Speaker 1: it was it was that it was things like after
Speaker 1: school programs and these non police programs where like community
Speaker 1: members get involved in like the lives of at risk youth,
Speaker 1: and like they have programmed like the sorts of things
Speaker 1: that like you that aren't sexy, that aren't staffed by
Speaker 1: people with the same job as every like action movie protagonist.
Speaker 1: You know, they're staffed by like social workers and things
Speaker 1: like that. So like they don't get they don't make
Speaker 1: movies about them, but they are actually functional. And though
Speaker 1: like the police didn't stop working during the pandemic, like
Speaker 1: their numbers have gone down and continued to go down,
Speaker 1: but that that has actually had a benefit effect on crime.
Speaker 1: The thing that went away during the pandemic and has
Speaker 1: since come back are programs like for instance, like the
Speaker 1: New Orleans story, there's like this summer work program for
Speaker 1: young people. So because they can't hire enough cops, like
Speaker 1: it just purely by accident, New Orleans can't hire enough
Speaker 1: cops because everyone's like, no, fuck that, why would I
Speaker 1: want to be a fucking New Orleans police officer, they
Speaker 1: have money left over to invest in this thing, this
Speaker 1: summer work program for young people, and so last year
Speaker 1: it employed one thousand people instead of the usual two hundred,
Speaker 1: and like that's the sort of thing that you actually
Speaker 1: see have an impact, like and yeah, it's just the
Speaker 1: way people talk about this. They're like, oh, well, the
Speaker 1: reason the numbers are going down is because of there
Speaker 1: was a spike during the pandemic. It's like, yeah, but
Speaker 1: like the explanation, like the accepted explanation among experts that
Speaker 1: is like very clear cut, is not the one that
Speaker 1: you're going that you're going with, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Don't like that because but because then that's going to
Speaker 3: lead people to think we don't need as many cops.
Speaker 3: It was actually our social media team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another one, Bridgeport, Connecticut that Miles is referencing,
Speaker 1: has similarly seen a significant decrease of violent crime since
Speaker 1: they've been short sixty officers. Again, this is like I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's a number of factors, but just remember during
Speaker 1: the pandemic, all the cops being like they you don't
Speaker 1: like me, Well, I don't like you, and I'm not
Speaker 1: coming you. I'm not coming back. I retire. And then
Speaker 1: so as these likes have retired, Yeah, like the way
Speaker 1: adult space, they do have their arms crossed and then
Speaker 1: alternate between arms crossed and plugging their ears, but they
Speaker 1: you know, so as there have been less officers, crime
Speaker 1: continues to go down like across the country. And this
Speaker 1: Mayor Joe Gannon of Bridgeport, Connecticut, he did not say,
Speaker 1: and we're not sure. We're still looking into it. He
Speaker 1: actually has an explanation, and it is that the department's
Speaker 1: social media presence has gone up.
Speaker 6: Some good tiktoks, yeah, some solid, solid tweets. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's real police work.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I always said this.
Speaker 3: And knowing like when anytime I've seen a police like
Speaker 3: social media presence, it's always a Facebook group, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? And I'm sure that's what it is.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, man, they were were posting crime updates and
Speaker 2: we're showing people what we're doing to build trust on
Speaker 2: your Facebook group, and people are commenting that the engagement
Speaker 2: is Yeah.
Speaker 3: One guy said I'm gonna stop dealing drugs because of
Speaker 3: this update. I mean, folks, this ship is working. Our
Speaker 3: Facebook group is working.
Speaker 1: There's a New York Times op edge this year that
Speaker 1: pointed to a small town where half the force quit
Speaker 1: and crime dropped again. Like it's just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's pretty straightforward, and people don't want it to be
Speaker 1: as straightforward as it as it is.
Speaker 2: It would seem and I mean obviously, like you know,
Speaker 2: it's we don't know the exact relationships, but my god,
Speaker 2: if that's not damning. When it's like I don't know,
Speaker 2: in a lot of these examples and there's less of you,
Speaker 2: people are safer, Yeah, kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's add more of you. Yeah right, And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like that there was that Biden thing where he
Speaker 1: came out and was like, we don't need to we
Speaker 1: don't need less police, we need more police. I mean, dang,
Speaker 1: we we rely on our police to be our therapists
Speaker 1: are psychiatrists, sorrow marriage counselor. It's like, that's the fucking problem.
Speaker 1: That is the problem. You're only funding this one thing
Speaker 1: that is bad at all of it's our teachers are nurses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. So yeah, I don't know. It just
Speaker 1: seems like the people I feel like who are against,
Speaker 1: you know, defunding police like one the argument or won
Speaker 1: the battle for definitions, and they're like, defund the police
Speaker 1: equals chaos, But no, defund the police means less funding
Speaker 1: for police and more funding for programs that actually work
Speaker 1: that don't like send armed maniacs out to the scene
Speaker 1: of every conflict in your.
Speaker 2: Community, and more money for social media too.
Speaker 6: And more like that, how much more clear about Facebook ads?
Speaker 2: That's the key, My god.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about the war on refrigerator maguck, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and or back. And this is something I've noticed, like
Speaker 1: for a while now, I had my past two refrigerators
Speaker 1: are both metallic on the outside and will not take a.
Speaker 2: Hostile towards magnets.
Speaker 1: Hostile towards magnets.
Speaker 3: Now, you know, you you've been working a bit longer
Speaker 3: than I have, so I'm not I've not quite reached
Speaker 3: the heights of.
Speaker 2: A non magnetic refrigerator.
Speaker 3: But the other day I was at a friend's house
Speaker 3: who had just body new refrigerator, very sleek, very modern.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, this ship looks really cool,
Speaker 2: Like it goes with your fucking kitchen.
Speaker 6: I guess, are we talking one of the ones that
Speaker 6: opens from the center, oh French stor yes, French story, yes, friend,
Speaker 6: sure so you can open both of them and just yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 6: that's that's that new ship. And apparently like they're better
Speaker 6: more spun know. They were preaching the gospel about French
Speaker 6: store refrisgerators.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I noticed there was a fucking pile of refrigerator
Speaker 3: magnets on the counter next to the fridge, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, yeah, what's up with that. They're like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, it's not magnet friendly. And I'm like, what
Speaker 3: the fuck are you talking about? And I apparently this
Speaker 3: is a newer a thing with newer refrigerators and has
Speaker 3: like slowly gaining more traction to the point where like
Speaker 3: it's more often than not new refrigerators are not magnet friendly.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, is there a magnet shortage? Like, is
Speaker 3: there a supply chain issue that's like fucking up the
Speaker 3: like the ability to put in magnet friendly materials. No,
Speaker 3: the companies that build our modern ice boxes have basically
Speaker 3: made a call, and it's that magnets are tacky bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And they say that it takes away from the high
Speaker 3: end look that many customers are looking for.
Speaker 2: And most people want nice finishes, sleek looks in their kitchen.
Speaker 2: It's just not going with the design aesthetic. This senior
Speaker 2: manager of marketing for a refrigerator manufacturer said that covering
Speaker 2: a fridge with magnets is quote a little low brow.
Speaker 1: Fuck you fuck you, fuck you, fuck you do.
Speaker 6: It's also like it's a it's an option, like having
Speaker 6: magnet does it not mean that.
Speaker 2: The magnets will necessarily go on? There?
Speaker 6: You are giving the consumer the choice to use a
Speaker 6: magnet should they want to lead what the magnet company
Speaker 6: is calling a low brow life, right, Yeah, and they can.
Speaker 6: But if they feel you can be uh you know,
Speaker 6: a complete uh you know, uh up your own ass
Speaker 6: high society person and have a magnetic refrigerator and pretend
Speaker 6: it's not magnetic, just don't put a magnet on it.
Speaker 1: Exactly right.
Speaker 2: It's like, are these people who are asking for this
Speaker 2: like so fucking hooked on magnets.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, man, don't give me a magnet friendly friends, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm a fuck up my life.
Speaker 6: I have to I can't sell myself.
Speaker 9: I've been to the fucking grand tee tongs. Put that
Speaker 9: one up there, like with my veggas one a under paper. Yeah,
Speaker 9: this one's a bottle opener. Like I just don't fucking understand.
Speaker 9: It's like, you know, it's like making a car that
Speaker 9: is it sticker friendly because people like a high end life,
Speaker 9: Like I don't have stickers on my car.
Speaker 1: I chose a bumper stick fan. But yeah, but like
Speaker 1: that I don't need, Like I don't need.
Speaker 3: I'm not being like, hey man, what I need is
Speaker 3: a car that is chemically treated to not bond with adhesives.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cover that fucker.
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck are we doing? Like it's like
Speaker 2: Elon Musk that, Yeah, I could see Musk doing that.
