Speaker 1: party on this El Greco. Yeah, yeah, I just had
Speaker 1: some cold brew. I start talking about artists. Greco is
Speaker 1: one of those rare like I don't know, Renaissance but
Speaker 1: like master painters who also sounds like a bookie, like
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, nobody else feeling me on that. Well,
Speaker 1: it's all right, sounds like last episode Greg Hash I canceled,
Speaker 1: so so yeah, like I I don't. I was an
Speaker 1: art history major, so I like to sprinkle in. Uh
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but I didn't. I was a sports gambling major,
Speaker 1: so yeah I did. I didn't go to class or anything.
Speaker 1: So I'm always like looking to paintings and being like,
Speaker 1: is that is that a um El Greco or m
Speaker 1: m mmmmm. Yeah, it could be El Greco or probably
Speaker 1: Rembrand yeah, or you know, or it could be could
Speaker 1: be uh Pollock Jackson. I mean they're all very similar.
Speaker 1: That's it impossible to tell them apart. I mean what, oh,
Speaker 1: Greco and Rembrandt overlapped but not Pollock. Come on now, Chris,
Speaker 1: holy ships, I'm just flexing on us with the knowledge,
Speaker 1: just saying I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, Chris Miles has changed.
Speaker 1: I can read your expression and yeah, my god. So
Speaker 1: this is like, wow, this is like a serious podcast. Now, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know, um okay, this is one of those
Speaker 1: serious So you guys are gonna have to guide me
Speaker 1: along because I like have been like completely I got
Speaker 1: back from New York. I was in New York doing
Speaker 1: a play acting into play. I was gone for six weeks,
Speaker 1: and I came back to just like I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's depression from like from COVID I had when
Speaker 1: I was in New York, or whether it's from just
Speaker 1: like being, you know, popping around New York City and
Speaker 1: then coming back to like this living situation that I'm
Speaker 1: not crazy about. But I'm sort of spaced out, like
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure if it's cod long COVID
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but I definitely feel like I had
Speaker 1: COVID like a month ago now, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel a little odd, like I don't know. So
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit spaced out. So you know, if
Speaker 1: I if I or if I just talk about depressing
Speaker 1: ship today, if I'm just like, you know, sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to, like to I can't quite you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, I can't quite I can't quite feel more.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how. But you know, I
Speaker 1: can't get the joy from you know, I'm drinking as
Speaker 1: much cold brew as I can, I'm watching as much
Speaker 1: abandoned mind videos as I can, and I still can't
Speaker 1: seem to get back to my usual level of you know,
Speaker 1: just like barely hanging on. Now. I'm like, usually I'm
Speaker 1: hanging on with like, you know, three fingers, and now
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with too. I definitely felt that, like
Speaker 1: it's a little maybe it's an overstatement, but you know,
Speaker 1: but I'm hanging out. I'm not feeling it. It feels
Speaker 1: a little bit different. I can. I definitely hear that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like other people who have experienced
Speaker 1: like a similar thing where they were sort of confused.
Speaker 1: I like, I don't know if I'm like just have
Speaker 1: a general malaise or if I have long COVID is
Speaker 1: something I've well, right, what a time to sort through symptoms?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, how could you tell?
Speaker 1: Like I mean you could have I can have a
Speaker 1: lot of ailments, but I mean like it could all
Speaker 1: be just read the news, Like you don't know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like I don't know. I either have
Speaker 1: long COVID or I read the news, or I'm clinically
Speaker 1: depressed or I'm just a realist. I mean, how do
Speaker 1: you you know? Or or else I have too much
Speaker 1: clutter behind me in this zoom in the zoom video,
Speaker 1: like what could it? Who knows what it is? It's
Speaker 1: hard to pinpoint. I like a nice little seamless blend
Speaker 1: of depression, anxiety and stomach issues. That's always good, Like
Speaker 1: my stomach is that because McConnell causing Is my stomach
Speaker 1: causing it? Or should I have brain or my brain
Speaker 1: causing my stomach? Should I have put two cold brewis
Speaker 1: in that fucking beer funnel? I've drank as much cold
Speaker 1: brew as I possibly can today, and I still feel
Speaker 1: like shit, and I still feel so anxious and so
Speaker 1: much candy too, not doing anything to set on my stomach.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've taken all my suggestions, drink as much
Speaker 1: cold brew as your body can possibly contain, and candy.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is also, I have like a nineteen
Speaker 1: fifties idea of what like health and wellnesses like. It's
Speaker 1: like I went bowling. I still feel bowling. Smoked a
Speaker 1: bunch of cigarettes, and I still feel like the hula
Speaker 1: hoop for fifteen minutes. Hey, a huge hamburger with green
Speaker 1: peppers in it. I don't know, doctors, something's not right
Speaker 1: about a plymouth and every about a new Plymouth and
Speaker 1: everything I drank, drank nine rhyin golds, I worked on
Speaker 1: the car, feel like absolute shit. I'm wearing my strappy undershirt.
Speaker 1: That's what the doctors get about to ask, are you
Speaker 1: Are you wearing this trap? Right? Oh my god, you're
Speaker 1: and you're smoking enough? You're smoking. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to tell you, except for maybe just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have a couple more beers and go play more pool.
Speaker 1: You know, some more men have a few splits. Are
Speaker 1: you gambling enough? That's the question, right, All right, Chris,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of stories that we're not gonna get to today. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're not going to get to Joe Manin. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get to one of these Joe Manin. Uh,
Speaker 1: some some ship went down on Wednesday in DC, a
Speaker 1: little Schumer Gamesman ship and possibly like a third of
Speaker 1: a step forward for you know, progressive values. So we'll
Speaker 1: we'll do the math, we'll show show our work for
Speaker 1: what happened in DC. Maybe that maybe more probably not,
Speaker 1: probably not given that. But before we get to any
Speaker 1: of it, Chris, we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Well, I mean
Speaker 1: this is like I wish I could return to the
Speaker 1: heavy days of telling people about things they don't know about.
Speaker 1: But I think it's really just it's just been abandoned
Speaker 1: mind videos like I've really, I've really become I've got
Speaker 1: a problem with them. I watched them like they're I
Speaker 1: don't know the news, or I watched them like their
Speaker 1: HBO Max. I watched abandoned mind videos like I'm looking
Speaker 1: for new episodes, like I go into a mine with
Speaker 1: one of these explorers, and I'm like, I've already seen
Speaker 1: this mine, other explorer, because it's the same syndrome as
Speaker 1: any video blog. It's like there's only so many minds
Speaker 1: and there's so many poor people trying to make money
Speaker 1: off YouTube that there's like you know, traffic jams and
Speaker 1: people like waiting to look at the the old glove. Oh,
Speaker 1: so you're saying, like the minds are now becoming like
Speaker 1: packed with other mind seekers. You have to wait in
Speaker 1: line to say the same thing about the same glove,
Speaker 1: because like a glove is like I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been through this before, but I can't stop going
Speaker 1: through it because this is my life. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I think everybody else should also endure hearing about
Speaker 1: these things because I can't stop. I love hearing. What
Speaker 1: is the blood I actually forgot already? Well, of course
Speaker 1: you did, because this is all, of course, none of this.
Speaker 1: You don't care about none that this is important. None
Speaker 1: of this is important, and every person is their own
Speaker 1: industry and doesn't need to worry about anybody else. So
Speaker 1: that's right, that's that's one of my things. I'm actually
Speaker 1: in the business of the Jack O'Brien, Brad, and I
Speaker 1: am too, And I don't know what you're saying either,
Speaker 1: So I mean that's like we just agree with that point.
Speaker 1: Passing on the ships passing in the night on the
Speaker 1: way to Patreon. That's how I'm describing like modern economy.
Speaker 1: No one needs anybody, They just need viewers. So they
Speaker 1: don't know, so do k videos up with people doing?
Speaker 1: Hey guys. Yeah, like that guy who's that guy like
Speaker 1: streams all day long every day that has like so
Speaker 1: many people he's like he's like, not not my not
Speaker 1: my landlord, not my great, not my landlord's son, and
Speaker 1: not us. But the guy guy who who's like, uh,
Speaker 1: he's like a liberal guy who like watches he's like
Speaker 1: on all day long his name. Yeah, that's it. Yes,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, okay, that guy's making money, but what
Speaker 1: kind of life is that anyway? That's what I'm just thinking.
Speaker 1: I mean has to stand there and people got mad
Speaker 1: at him when he bought a house because I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what you want a regular job. Like when you
Speaker 1: there's a certain point where his therapist is probably like,
Speaker 1: you should get a regular job, son, Yeah, like you
Speaker 1: are going crazy, like you have no friends, your friends,
Speaker 1: little microphone and you and you and you you know,
Speaker 1: it's like you're doing great business, like you're talking straight
Speaker 1: to me right now, I'm talking to my notes on
Speaker 1: the show, like maybe I don't know, have you thought
Speaker 1: about like moving the overrated underrated to the end? So
Speaker 1: it's like a right, exactly do you feel like it's
Speaker 1: eating up too much in the first act? I'm like, Also,
Speaker 1: my therapist was like, stop saying I'm saying stuff on
Speaker 1: the show that I don't say to you, and yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're not proud of me. She's like, I didn't
Speaker 1: exactly say it in those words. I didn't if therapist
Speaker 1: Like I always imagine therapists are doing some important ship,
Speaker 1: like they check out my podcast or whatever. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you probably heard my podcast, as you probably heard this
Speaker 1: week podcast. I'm not I know what is podcast exactly.
Speaker 1: They're like, podcast is. Yeah. So I've been watching these
Speaker 1: abandon mind videos. So there's only a few, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been watching for quite a while. There's only a
Speaker 1: few things that can be found in an abandoned mind? Chris,
Speaker 1: how do we like, is there an abandoned mind you
Speaker 1: want to go to to see with your own eyes?
Speaker 1: Because this is like I want to go to every
Speaker 1: one of them. Okay, but what's the mind you really
Speaker 1: want to check out and started looking into it. I
Speaker 1: mean they're all over the place. Okay, let's name, we'll
Speaker 1: fire one off man. Maybe we can we can figure
Speaker 1: out a way to make this ship happen. Well a
Speaker 1: lot of times, is it gonna be like a make
Speaker 1: a wish thing? I could go by myself. I don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: you may have to lie to a couple of charitable organizations,
Speaker 1: but look how you might have to go with John
Speaker 1: Cena unfortunately. Yeah, this guy says he has long COVID
Speaker 1: and he wants to go to a mind. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that gonna cost? Honestly, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like maybe two hundred bucks. Sure, all this
Speaker 1: guy wants. He just wants some trail mixes of cold brew, yeah,
Speaker 1: and some lamp Wait. But yeah, Like is there a mind?
Speaker 1: I mean, are their minds where you're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: it's this mine and maybe they have a new angle
Speaker 1: on an X specific mind. I'm just curious where it. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, because the name the mind's different. They use
Speaker 1: fake names because they don't don't want too much traffic,
Speaker 1: so they name him their own thing. They'll be like
Speaker 1: the jack Knife mind. But it's like it's not really
Speaker 1: called the jack Knife Mind. But then I found I found,
Speaker 1: I found, I found a YouTube my name couple. But
Speaker 1: they're not like I think they're platonic, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm on the verge of writing fan fiction about them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there it's it's Tom and Julie and I
Speaker 1: hope they'll get visitors. They're called Tom and it's called
Speaker 1: Mine Exploring with Tom and Julie, and it is it's
Speaker 1: fantastic because it's low key. It's low key. They know
Speaker 1: what they're doing, but they kind of have a vibe
Speaker 1: like they're just in their street clothes. Because some people
Speaker 1: go in and they look like they're like a swat team,
Speaker 1: they know. But but but these people look like they're
Speaker 1: wearing And also it makes me think I could do it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the kind of go
Speaker 1: in there in a way where they're like, we don't
Speaker 1: know it's about to happen. If it's dangerous, like they'll
Speaker 1: they'll they'll walk out, you know. But like Tom and
Speaker 1: Julie are dangerous. They're making people think that they can
Speaker 1: do this. Oh I'm sure, you know, I'm sure. But
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of different personalities about the band
Speaker 1: of minds. There's like the same way as anybody approaches
Speaker 1: any kind of sport or I guess it's not really sport,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if funny, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you can call it a sport when it's just finding
Speaker 1: people's old cigarettes. But pointing at trash videos, let's tell
Speaker 1: you that that's trash. That's old trash. Though, yes, it's like,
Speaker 1: let's carbon date that I knew ninety two. Perfect, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really into new mismatics. Let me look at
Speaker 1: this point three a McDonald's box box. But that's the
Speaker 1: older font. I mean, that's the world that that's the
Speaker 1: world I'm in. Has Is there a similar subgenre of
Speaker 1: people diving digging through like trash like landfills. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: called surviving in many other countries. Yeah. Yeah, well mud
Speaker 1: larking originally was also it's old trash. I'm curious about
Speaker 1: people doing it with new trash, to like study what
Speaker 1: they find people like trash new trash, like how recent
Speaker 1: like just going to like phil digging like straight down.
Speaker 1: This is something a Arizona professor used to do, and
Speaker 1: he was like honestly, it's the only way to like
Speaker 1: get the truth about how people behave is by digging
Speaker 1: through their trash. And he was like, so, for instance,
Speaker 1: people smoke way more than they self report in those things,
Speaker 1: and they drink way more than they report self report
Speaker 1: in any like any statistic that is given that is
Speaker 1: excited is underestimating like how much people drink and smoke
Speaker 1: by like three three acts basically. But yeah, there wasn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's how we know anything about ancient cultures
Speaker 1: and looking at their trash. So somebody was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should just do this, but then he like never
Speaker 1: caught on. And I've always been like that should be
Speaker 1: like it's a whole like branch of academia, but like
Speaker 1: nobody's like doing it. I'm hoping, like maybe somebody on
Speaker 1: YouTube will start it up. Okay, I'm trying to look now,
Speaker 1: if I were on my show, I would say cold
Speaker 1: got me, like I would play the sound effect after
Speaker 1: what you just said. It's kind of how I feel
Speaker 1: like there's not enough. There's not enough academia about trashy
Speaker 1: modern archaeology, Like come on, I'm so tired of academia
Speaker 1: fucking up. Oh man, Now you got my catchphrase going
Speaker 1: uh so, yeah, that reminds me of like under reporting,
Speaker 1: Like that's like you can't throw away porn in the
Speaker 1: regular garbage. Like it's like you can't, you know, when
Speaker 1: you're growing up, when you're growing up, like you know,
Speaker 1: you can't. The reason why people through all their pornography
Speaker 1: on people's lawns, and the reason why you know, kids
Speaker 1: found porn all the time in the seventies and eighties
Speaker 1: on the street was because men wouldn't you know, they
Speaker 1: couldn't dispose of it in their own house, So like
Speaker 1: they were under reporting in their own way how much
Speaker 1: porn there was. So that's like, you know, like when
Speaker 1: the when the archaeologists go, you know, digging down, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, there are a lot more magazines
Speaker 1: being fleak out on the streets. So we are under
Speaker 1: reporting how much porn George had. If you've ever had
Speaker 1: a drinking problem, you start to have a good idea
Speaker 1: of like why are there all these alcohol bottles all
Speaker 1: over the place, the same same deal. You don't want
Speaker 1: like anybody seeing it in the trash, So like people
Speaker 1: just like you know, a time of their car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it took me a long time to figure that out,
Speaker 1: and and I this is one of my favorite stories,
Speaker 1: so who knows, like maybe every time. That's the other
Speaker 1: thing is like this sort of weird depression I have
Speaker 1: is making me second guests and think everything I'm saying
Speaker 1: is like something I've said before, which is I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's that's sort of an aspect of depression.
Speaker 1: It's like in decision and things like that, like you
Speaker 1: go to the store and you stare at the shelves.
Speaker 1: I think also a part and parcel of like talking
Speaker 1: a lot for like what you do to like there's
Speaker 1: constant times like yeah, but this story I still love,
Speaker 1: so I mean, it's still worth telling. But the reason
Speaker 1: I found out that people through their ship out the
Speaker 1: window because I always was like Jesus wants us to
Speaker 1: have porn, Like I didn't know why there was like
Speaker 1: magazines on the streets. They feel like, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a gift from God. Like a teenager, a picture of
Speaker 1: a naked person is like a you know, it's like
Speaker 1: gold or something, so like I mean naked, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: find a naked you find a porn magazine when you're
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve, I mean, that's like finding you know,
Speaker 1: you know, that's like Jesus came and gave it to you,
Speaker 1: like a stimulus check. Yeah, that's like a stimulus. The
Speaker 1: definition of a stimulus check. Um so stimulus check. So
Speaker 1: uh so yeah, So I was working with this I
Speaker 1: was working with this this kid, and he was like,
Speaker 1: do you want my porn movies? Like I have all
Speaker 1: these porn movies and like I'm done going out with
Speaker 1: them or whatever, you know what I mean, Like I've
Speaker 1: already for a while, Like yeah, I need new yeah
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So like I'm tired of
Speaker 1: these porn movies because I already know how they go. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so like I gotta get new ones. So so
Speaker 1: he he was like, you want my old ones? And
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I was you know, I
Speaker 1: wasn't doing I was fairly desperate that point in my life,
Speaker 1: but I figured I could get my own porn. So
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I don't want you. He was
Speaker 1: like way younger, he was like a teenager. We were
Speaker 1: both working painting a house, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to your team. No, you know, I did.
Speaker 1: I kind of just I kind of did want his porn,
Speaker 1: but I because I like that, Yeah, the age difference.
Speaker 1: You're like, I can't. I can't be here. I'm twenty
Speaker 1: two years old. I should be abably get my own porn.
Speaker 1: So uh so, so he say said, Okay, well, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna drive around the neighborhood of my bicycle and
Speaker 1: throw them on people's lawns. And that's because he was like,
Speaker 1: I can't dispose of them any other way. I can't
Speaker 1: put my own garbage. So I just and I was
Speaker 1: like case cracked. I mean that was like I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Like I really felt like I had
Speaker 1: to tell the whole world. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I can tell you why. I know why the side
Speaker 1: streets of suburbia are littered with gag balls, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly stuff people are ashamed to heaven. And then the
Speaker 1: archaeologists are gonna go down eventually and theyre'll be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, there are a lot more gag balls
Speaker 1: than we thought people were gaggings. Yeah, we thought it
Speaker 1: was one per household. Turns out it was like eight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Their estimate, their conservative estimate before was one gag or
Speaker 1: were they wrong? So breaking two thousand and ninety whatever
Speaker 1: now probably anyway, I wanted to say, uh, just that
Speaker 1: back to the garbage thing real quick, that people do
Speaker 1: dig down through the garbage sometimes. And one thing I
Speaker 1: heard was that hot dogs from the nineteen fifties are
Speaker 1: still intact. Yeah. I love to hear that because yeah,
Speaker 1: one thing the guy, the you know archaeologist who did
Speaker 1: this that is that you dig down and it's like
Speaker 1: a layer cake with every time they send out the
Speaker 1: yellow pages, because everybody just immediately throws them away, and
Speaker 1: so there's just a layer of yellow pages separating like yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when they were sent out and immediately thrown away
Speaker 1: by everyone. I used to I used to steal them,
Speaker 1: like when I lived in this apartment and called it's
Speaker 1: because I was practicing tearing phone books in half. So
Speaker 1: for a while I was go bring phone books over
Speaker 1: and I would just be like I was just teaching
Speaker 1: all my friends how to tear phone books in half.
Speaker 1: It was a really weird time for me, and like
Speaker 1: the economy was in a absolute spiral and I was like, look,
Speaker 1: I have a college degree and no job prospects, but
Speaker 1: I will preach the gospel of how to use a
Speaker 1: cool technique to rip a phone book in half and
Speaker 1: when free drinks at a bar? Where did you? Where
Speaker 1: did you find out how to do that? YouTube? It
Speaker 1: was like one of the first things I looked like this,
Speaker 1: like oh seven, you know, like early YouTube. I was like,
Speaker 1: how to tear phone book? And the internet first thing
Speaker 1: you ever googled. Yeah, I was like, oh fuck it,
Speaker 1: let's go because I always heard it was like a
Speaker 1: technique thing and had nothing to do with with strength.
Speaker 1: So once then I saw the technique videos, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all are fucked. Watch me get watched me start tearing
Speaker 1: phone books left and right, putting people to sleep. But
Speaker 1: we're gonnaken choke old. Alright, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll continue talking about mind videos probably
Speaker 1: for a while. We're not getting to any stories, so
Speaker 1: people just know right now this is gonna he's impossible
Speaker 1: to stranger. We'll be right back and we're back and
Speaker 1: all right, So your search history was mind video video.
Speaker 1: Just that's the thing. Is like, it's like just to
Speaker 1: just to go back to it real quick. Um, is
Speaker 1: that what you asked about the gloves? Like, there's only
Speaker 1: the only few things. There's only a few things you
Speaker 1: can find in an abandoned mind. It's mind whatever miners
Speaker 1: brought to minds, because these are that's what they are,
Speaker 1: their minds that have been not used in a while.
Speaker 1: And usually the last time they were used was at
Speaker 1: the latest, like the sixties, and you know, but lot
Speaker 1: of times there earlier than that. But still even in
Speaker 1: the sixties, it was basically gloves, lunch boxes, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're only gonna find a few things, you
Speaker 1: know that. I mean, there's only there's no no miner
Speaker 1: is gonna bring in like a violin. When you're not
Speaker 1: gonna find something, you find tun of cans, you find
Speaker 1: uh cigarette packs, you know, things like that. And then
Speaker 1: the people find the cigarette and they say, look at
Speaker 1: the cigarette. This guy. Imagine who smoked this cigarette. I
Speaker 1: love that ship. I love imagine who's smoke the cigarette.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite fucking thing to do is to imagine
Speaker 1: who smokes the video? And you just go, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's something about that. I never get enough of it.
Speaker 1: They're like, imagine who wore this glove. Imagical kind of
Speaker 1: crazy facial hair. The guy who wore this glove must
Speaker 1: have had in nine we're the first person to hold
Speaker 1: this glove since that that guy, and I'm all that's
Speaker 1: all I care about is that feeling of like, my god, wow.
Speaker 1: That's the weird version of that power the Christopher Walking
Speaker 1: has in the movie Dead Zone where he like shakes someone,
Speaker 1: hands someone's hand and like sees their whole life story
Speaker 1: looking at a spent cigarette. But you're like, you just
Speaker 1: made a good movie. That's a good idea because mind
Speaker 1: video guys are dreaming of because they hold a cigarette
Speaker 1: and they wish they could see, you know, And here
Speaker 1: the conversation which they imagined to be salty when it
Speaker 1: was happening, you know what I mean. The guy who
Speaker 1: was smoking that cigarette was probably saying like I'm tired
Speaker 1: of being in the navy, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 1: They imagine, you know, back then it's like talking about
Speaker 1: dames or something, swearing they could be a movie star
Speaker 1: if they could get out of this place. It's just
Speaker 1: all comes back to piano man lyrics. But they're like
Speaker 1: you think you think they're gonna they think they're ever
Speaker 1: gonna really make a nuclear bomb, that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I hear they're working at it and last
Speaker 1: alley mos that's what they imagine it's like this comedy
Speaker 1: script is about Chris like being it's you and you
Speaker 1: love abandoned mind videos, and the story is about you
Speaker 1: taking a trip to one of these minds, but literally,
Speaker 1: you know it's a magic mind and you end up
Speaker 1: picking up one of these items and you immediately flash
Speaker 1: into that person's life like it's now you in a
Speaker 1: mind when it's operating, and you're like trying to make
Speaker 1: something like well, just a fish out of water, you
Speaker 1: know how happy you'd be. The part of this is
Speaker 1: fantasizing about the past, in the sense that they want
Speaker 1: a simpler past. They're like, I could just go in
Speaker 1: here with a drill, probably half drunk. I can make
Speaker 1: my make make maybe you know, more than my beer
Speaker 1: money for the day, and then go to sleep on
Speaker 1: some cot wearing some greasy overalls and then do it
Speaker 1: again and then live out my days that way, smoking
Speaker 1: smoking stubby cigarettes and talking about the Navy. And then
Speaker 1: you know, then nobody ever has to go on the
Speaker 1: Internet and nobody ever has to have an insurrection, and
Speaker 1: they're no goddamn you know, Republicans haven't gone full Q
Speaker 1: and on, and everybody's just acting like, you know, but
Speaker 1: it's all bullshit because back then sucked too. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's your realization. Yeah, like so much simpler. And people
Speaker 1: down there talking about like, wait a minute, this miner's
Speaker 1: cabins full of racists. Yeah exactly, and they were all
Speaker 1: murdered by their boss. My bunk mates just masturbating out
Speaker 1: in the open. Smittye put a frying pan over that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I told you only bring only three of your erotic
Speaker 1: wood carvings into the bunk at a time. For God's sake,
Speaker 1: I thought we'd we agreed that we had all masturbate
Speaker 1: inside the soup pot with the soup pot on top
Speaker 1: of our protest on you. And yeah, it's just your
Speaker 1: life of chaos in this mining bunk, like a similar life,
Speaker 1: but it's like way way worse. And then you're like,
Speaker 1: get me back to the internet. Yeah yeah that sounds good.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yes, so there's like lines of people trying
Speaker 1: to look at a glove. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Underrated? I had a written down, Oh underrated
Speaker 1: it is my book, Yeah, the Advice King Anthology. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: because I mean for real, because this book came out
Speaker 1: and nothing happened, and uh that was sort of stunning
Speaker 1: for me. I thought, so like I want, I thought
Speaker 1: today during the Underrated I would say like, hey, Terry Gross,
Speaker 1: I know you listen to this show. Get me on
Speaker 1: there and let me explain my book to you, and
Speaker 1: let me also explain that you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1: And then they are as easy listening for the one percent. Yes,
Speaker 1: let me tell you all about that. So I know
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. And if you're just joining us,
Speaker 1: we're talking to Chris Crofton and he is the author
Speaker 1: of Advice King, the Advice King Anthology and Vice King Anthology. Yeah, so, anyway,
Speaker 1: I think that book is underrated and and I now
Speaker 1: I've just found out and you guys the same ship.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows. It's like everything's doing it yourself. Like there's
Speaker 1: no budget for anything because the budget goes to the
Speaker 1: CEO or you know, I don't know who's CEO of
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is, but they the actual Venderbook Press is understaffed
Speaker 1: and underpaid, even though they have an eight billion dollar endowment.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, now, I'm gonna say that's where all
Speaker 1: the money is is in university endowments. That's just they're
Speaker 1: they're hoarding it in case of a rainy day or
Speaker 1: in case they need to take over a country. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure it's so much money that they Yeah, it's raining,
Speaker 1: the rainy day is now. Uh so yeah, so I
Speaker 1: just uh, I just I love Now. I gotta say
Speaker 1: something nice because I love the fact that they put
Speaker 1: out my book. They did. They put out my book.
Speaker 1: But I know, and it's not their fault. They old
Speaker 1: me ahead of time. There's not gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: we don't have a budget to do much. So I'm
Speaker 1: on my own with this book, which is okay because
Speaker 1: I've been done this before. But sometimes you wish someone
Speaker 1: would review a book. But I also talked to a
Speaker 1: dude wrote who has written eight books. And I talked
Speaker 1: to him, and he writes for the New York Times,
Speaker 1: and I said to him, hey, my book came out
Speaker 1: and it didn't get reviewed anywhere anywhere, and he got
Speaker 1: like he got he started looking off into the middle distance.
Speaker 1: They got returned to funny color and he said, I've
Speaker 1: written eight books and none of them have gotten reviewed.
Speaker 1: And I write for the New York Times. And he
Speaker 1: explained to me that rich people don't like to read
Speaker 1: about books. They like to read about food. So all
Speaker 1: the most newspapers in the world have expanded their food
Speaker 1: sections and gotten rid of their book sections. So there's
Speaker 1: no The reason why books have blurbs on them from
Speaker 1: other authors and things and friends now is because where
Speaker 1: it used to be like Atlanta Journal Constitution, like those newspapers,
Speaker 1: those newspapers flat out don't review books anymore. So there's
Speaker 1: just there's just very few places to get it reviewed.
Speaker 1: There's the usual suspects. There's like NPR or I mean
Speaker 1: not NPR UM, but you know, there's like New York
Speaker 1: Times occasionally. I mean, it's just like stand up comedy.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, oh, Conan has stand ups on
Speaker 1: every other week now or you know, it's just like
Speaker 1: there's very few They want to go with celebrities always always,
Speaker 1: So it's like the books that they will go with
Speaker 1: to review, if there are reviews, will always be you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know whoever, like Mario Lopez is you know,
Speaker 1: my Journey to Abs or whatever the hell? You know,
Speaker 1: if you could get your book into Mario Lopez's book club,
Speaker 1: that is the way to do it, because no, I'm
Speaker 1: just well, know, what's that is that they will be like,
Speaker 1: they being the people who are trying to promote books,
Speaker 1: will be like, do you know anybody famous? That's the model.
Speaker 1: I mean, that is the model. Find someone famous now
Speaker 1: put on their Instagram? You know, do you know anybody famous?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know Jack O'Brien, I know Miles Gray.
Speaker 1: They're like someone that won't harm you if you aligne.
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Uh, I know a couple of
Speaker 1: competitive weightlifters. Okay, great, I know, No, he really need.
Speaker 1: That's not a model that's sustainable for for art, you
Speaker 1: can't know. You can't like good artist never good artists
Speaker 1: aren't gonna know celebrities not very well. I mean like,
Speaker 1: if you go to l A, you can move to
Speaker 1: l A and know some celebrities. I'm saying. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that we're all shitty artists if we know a celebrity,
Speaker 1: but because you know, you, if you live in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: you can get you could get to know them because
Speaker 1: they're everywhere, you know. I mean me and Colin. Colin
Speaker 1: Farrell's in my other room right now, mao. Him and
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez are in there and he won't even review
Speaker 1: my book. No, and they won't review, and they won't
Speaker 1: share it on their Instagram as they say they gotta
Speaker 1: save that for big stuff or something like that, so
Speaker 1: you know the Yeah, they're like, I gotta save that
Speaker 1: for like my girlfriends. My girlfriend's putting out a you
Speaker 1: know something or other. So my girlfriend makes pots, so
Speaker 1: I gotta put up. I can't. I can't. Oh, I
Speaker 1: can't saturate my you know what I mean. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, even if you do know how a famous
Speaker 1: person they're, they're guaranteed to be just as paranoid about
Speaker 1: you as you're about their social media presence. So they're
Speaker 1: not gonna share that ship. Yeah, anyway, So that's what's
Speaker 1: going on. It's like I'm just like trying to get
Speaker 1: I figured to be fun to do an underrated where
Speaker 1: I said, hey, and this is really a fact. This
Speaker 1: book fucking rules and it is so funny and and
Speaker 1: I mean the people who do read it you have
Speaker 1: a better life, so so, and they're we're making more
Speaker 1: at their jobs too. I think I read something like that. Yes,
Speaker 1: and they're taller slightly so yes, and they sexually last longer.
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is if anyone listening to this
Speaker 1: fucking podcast wants to help out because I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: peddling this book now forever, and I will because it's good.
Speaker 1: So I don't get ship. I'm like Hunter s Thompson,
Speaker 1: excepted Hunter s. Thompson was just told to do it
Speaker 1: a zone like, oh, you got a good book, good,
Speaker 1: go on Instagram with it, Hunter Thompson. Boomers. These fucking
Speaker 1: boomers had it so easy. I mean they didn't really.
Speaker 1: I know that some boomer will be like it was
Speaker 1: always hard's they always say yeah, But you know, Hunter
Speaker 1: s Thompson didn't have to sell his goddamn book on
Speaker 1: fucking Instagram. No he didn't. But hey, z Gang, get
Speaker 1: in there. I'm only seeing one review. The Night Gang
Speaker 1: has helped me out a lot certain websites, So let's
Speaker 1: get the review. I want to review in a in
Speaker 1: in either the New York Times, that Gang. I know
Speaker 1: one of you is a book reviewer for the New
Speaker 1: York Times. Popular mechanics would be okay, okay, Christian science monitor, yes,
Speaker 1: any of those things. But yeah, review the book. Be
Speaker 1: the first person. Imagine being the first person to tell
Speaker 1: people about the Bible. That's just I'm not saying my
Speaker 1: books as good as the Bible. I'm just saying, imagine
Speaker 1: that thrill. This would be maybe similar book, definitely better
Speaker 1: than the Bible. I was going to say, at least
Speaker 1: tag apostles. When you have Neil Hamburger, Jamie Loftus, and
Speaker 1: Jim James from My Morning Jacket all saying you need
Speaker 1: to read this book. That's a triumvirate more potent than
Speaker 1: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I
Speaker 1: would say by that alone, this is the new Bible.
Speaker 1: I will go step further. Yeah. So, and also just
Speaker 1: order it. You can order it on everything from Amazon.
Speaker 1: I don't give a ship. I don't give a ship
Speaker 1: if you buy it from Amazon. I don't care. You know,
Speaker 1: like I get money from that someday. I don't know
Speaker 1: how or did you get it from, you know, Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: University Press. I just want this book. Get University Press,
Speaker 1: even though you gotta have a good solid half hour
Speaker 1: to do that. If you want to order it from
Speaker 1: Vendori Vernerbil University Press, you're gonna need a half hour
Speaker 1: because they make you sign up. The fucking website will
Speaker 1: crash at least twice while you're own there. But that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I just want it in people's hands.
Speaker 1: I want it in your head. I want you to
Speaker 1: read it because it it will make you feel better.
Speaker 1: And I'm almost I can't do any more pep talks
Speaker 1: until people more by the book. I'm running out of
Speaker 1: pep talks because I'm I'm drowning in content that I
Speaker 1: that I've got to move. I've got palettes of hope.
Speaker 1: It's dying on the docks. I've come on some hope
Speaker 1: sitting here. Come pick them up so I can so
Speaker 1: I can get in a good mood again and give
Speaker 1: you more hope. Because my pep talks, I'm i can't
Speaker 1: writing the advice column at this point. I'm just like
Speaker 1: people are like, man, I don't know what I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to do, and I usually I'm like go hiking or
Speaker 1: fucking Now, I'm just like, you know what suck eggs?
Speaker 1: I don't for himself. I'm miserable, which is not a
Speaker 1: good advice column. You know what I mean? By my book,
Speaker 1: and then I'll be happy again. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Overrated? Health and wellness? Health and wellness,
Speaker 1: because in my opinion, they're the same thing, and they're
Speaker 1: just trying to sell an extra thing to health. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's rich people wanting to think there's a secret extra
Speaker 1: part of health that they get. It's just really just
Speaker 1: like a manny petty, right. It's mostly just like the stress.
Speaker 1: You don't have the stress of having your toil to survive.
Speaker 1: That's also a huge part. Like, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm so healthy. It's like I don't I don't have
Speaker 1: to toil either and kind of have all my needs
Speaker 1: are meant health and wellness. Yeah, it's like health and servants.
Speaker 1: You know, there's something there's I smell a rat. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Wellness, not that it's wealth and wellness, yes,
Speaker 1: or health and wealthness either. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: yes exactly. The health wealth wellness generally is is just
Speaker 1: like treat yourself guys like that. It's like the it's
Speaker 1: like the shitty parts of goople you know, right right,
Speaker 1: the wellness industry. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, um, there's a
Speaker 1: there's a there's some dose of there's something about it
Speaker 1: that's just strikes me as as just like just really shitty,
Speaker 1: like somehow Like I was gonna say, it's tied up
Speaker 1: in eugenics. I don't think that's true that I'm sure,
Speaker 1: but you know, there's some there's something. It's something like
Speaker 1: I feel like it's racist, Like there's certain about like
Speaker 1: it's like anybody can be healthy. It's like almost like
Speaker 1: anybody can be healthy, but it takes a white person
Speaker 1: to be well. Like that's how I feel like it's
Speaker 1: some it's some like yeah, oh yeah, you can be
Speaker 1: healthy if you're anybody can be healthy, but are you well?
Speaker 1: And that means are you fucking white? I mean I
Speaker 1: don't that's extreme, and I don't mean that everybody who
Speaker 1: says that thinks they're I only think about race stuff
Speaker 1: because I think about I think about it constantly, only
Speaker 1: because of it's impossible not to. You look at the
Speaker 1: people who are pushing these like you know, we're already healthy,
Speaker 1: let's get well or tend to be wealthy white people,
Speaker 1: because it's just like what else can Once you get
Speaker 1: really rich, you just start to care about like extending
Speaker 1: your life and right well then and also just again,
Speaker 1: like all of the things that are you know, touted
Speaker 1: as being like you know, essentials to your wellness are
Speaker 1: typically out of reachs for most working people, and it's
Speaker 1: like this is who who can afford this? Who can
Speaker 1: afford this lifestyle? You're prescribing via your wellness you know,
Speaker 1: website or whatever, right, And I think, like, you know,
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow pushing the idea that she's basically a magical person,
Speaker 1: is you know, is you know she's also a white
Speaker 1: lady with blonde hair. I mean, I think there's just
Speaker 1: a component of this like ultra health like has to
Speaker 1: do with like Gwyneth Paltrow having blonde hair and translucent
Speaker 1: trying to turn like invisible. She's so white. Like I
Speaker 1: just feel like there's like a certain amount of like
Speaker 1: stunt whiteness involved in this ship, Like, well, how fucking
Speaker 1: white and blonde? I am? It's just generally too like socioeconomically,
Speaker 1: there are people who have different life expectancies just by
Speaker 1: virtue of like who they are, they're born into, what
Speaker 1: class they're born into, and then being like using that
Speaker 1: to be like and that's my secret. Are these fucking berries?
Speaker 1: It's like, no, motherfucker. You probably had your mother probably
Speaker 1: that's retal care. That's pretty healthy, And there could be
Speaker 1: people diet growing up you have lower health complications, but
Speaker 1: you want to point to the fucking whatever the funk
Speaker 1: it is, uh and say that's the cause of and
Speaker 1: solution to all. I just don't. Sometimes I feel like
Speaker 1: I come off like I hate white people, which is insane.
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm a white person. But but I but I
Speaker 1: but I do feel like you know that, well, you know,
Speaker 1: white people should police themselves a little bit on these
Speaker 1: things when they get into these like weird like Ariyan
Speaker 1: fucking Nazi things like health and wellness sounds like a
Speaker 1: division of fucking the Nazi Party. You know, it just
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, like it's just some sort of like, uh,
Speaker 1: there's something that strikes me really wrong about it. And
Speaker 1: then it's also just a scam to sell stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just like once you get into the rich person game,
Speaker 1: all it is is just life extension stuff off and
Speaker 1: like panaceas and and and snake oil and like you know,
Speaker 1: a medicine show stuff where you just new moisturizers the
Speaker 1: industry for people to you know, once they get rich,
Speaker 1: they think about only two things tax evasion and smooth
Speaker 1: skin and living forever. You know, I mean, it's really
Speaker 1: there's nothing else to fucking do. The two things that
Speaker 1: are inevitable that you can't get away taxes, and they're like, Nope,
Speaker 1: fuck both of those. I will evade both. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: just feel like sometimes when people say wellness, they're about
Speaker 1: to say white. That's how it feels. There's also a
Speaker 1: w yeah, or it's just it's just so like sort
Speaker 1: of ignorant of the idea of what is even being
Speaker 1: said to that, Like even if in the most innocent
Speaker 1: version of someone talking about wellness, it's just there's a
Speaker 1: there's a lack of regards. Yeah, break it down, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm like, say, tell me what break it down?
Speaker 1: What does wellness mean? You know? Break it down? Nobody
Speaker 1: you know, But I don't know what I'm saying this
Speaker 1: to break it down, I'm saying I'm picturing myself saying
Speaker 1: this to what fell. So she's listening, I would love
Speaker 1: to talk to you respectfully about these issues. I mean,
Speaker 1: you heard her. She's already coming with hot takes today.
Speaker 1: She said how children of like famous people have to
Speaker 1: work twice as hard or something, and you're their nepo kids.
Speaker 1: They are really the who are persecuted. Yeah, no country,
Speaker 1: oh god, like because she she is like, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm sure most people know that. But she is the
Speaker 1: child of a famous person, so and she herself is
Speaker 1: raising children of extremely famous people. So so yeah. The
Speaker 1: other thing was just as far as the overrated would
Speaker 1: be amenities versus you know, which is connected. It's it's
Speaker 1: an amenities over culture. Wealthy people don't care about music.
Speaker 1: They don't care about are They care about music that's
Speaker 1: on in the background while they get a fucking massage.
Speaker 1: They care about music that's on in the background while
Speaker 1: they fucking do a real estate deal. Music is being
Speaker 1: affected by the amenity culture. It's being it's being forced
Speaker 1: to the background when it should be. It's one of
Speaker 1: the most important, heartening, beautiful things in the world. It's
Speaker 1: way more beautiful than real estate, or way more beautiful
Speaker 1: than you know, moisturizer or any of this other ship.
Speaker 1: But it's basically free, you know, and that doesn't do
Speaker 1: ship for rich people. They don't know how to fucking
Speaker 1: make music, they don't know how to fucking engage with it.
Speaker 1: That it makes them feel weird. They would rather have
Speaker 1: a hotel than a music venue. That's what's happening to Nashville.
Speaker 1: Like it's not it's not just by accident. They value
Speaker 1: hotels more than music venues. That's why they're not staying around.
Speaker 1: It's because if we let these motherfucker's with obscene wealth
Speaker 1: or against our will let them because he really can't
Speaker 1: combat these these like sort of capital what do you
Speaker 1: call him? Venture capital? Not venture capital, but just like
Speaker 1: you know, like like consortiums or I can't think of
Speaker 1: just like the big just people, rich people who have
Speaker 1: like just these giant amounts of wealth at the you know,
Speaker 1: the top fo people have and they put them into
Speaker 1: these huge funds and then they make over a whole city.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the art is being displaced on purpose.
Speaker 1: Like it took me a while to figure that out.
Speaker 1: It's not just a side effect. It's something that rich
Speaker 1: people do not value. In fact, music spaces always have
Speaker 1: made them uncomfortable because they don't feel at home there.
Speaker 1: They don't get it. They know about something that they
Speaker 1: can't that like dies the second they touch it and
Speaker 1: make and it makes them feel uncomfortable. That makes them
Speaker 1: They don't know because they do not their program for
Speaker 1: whether by nature or nurture, for capitalism only, so they
Speaker 1: just don't They don't get it, and it makes them
Speaker 1: mad when they see people really enjoying music because they don't.
Speaker 1: That makes them feel bad. So they want to not
Speaker 1: see that. They want to see another thing they recognize,
Speaker 1: which is a Chipotle or a hotel or something they
Speaker 1: can use, something rich person can use, a surface industry thing,
Speaker 1: and and and and America is being recolonized. And this
Speaker 1: is like insane to say, but it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not insane to say, I just want to don't
Speaker 1: want to be insensitive people who are actually colonized. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that we came here, fucking made
Speaker 1: the Indians except our culture at the you know, or
Speaker 1: death like you know, like go to Christian school and
Speaker 1: all the ship that's happening with Indigenous like the whole
Speaker 1: residential schools thing and in Canada is insane, I mean
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. And it's all about like basically people coming
Speaker 1: in and saying this is our culture. You're gonna take it,
Speaker 1: and if you don't take it, we're gonna fucking throw
Speaker 1: you off a cliff. And now that's happening in this
Speaker 1: weird way where it's like we're gonna we're read the top,
Speaker 1: you know, hundred people or no, it's not ten thousand.
Speaker 1: Richest people in America are making over America in the
Speaker 1: image that they want, and that's an image that is there.
Speaker 1: It's like the fucking English going to India and making
Speaker 1: everybody learn how to do cricket. These motherfucker's are are
Speaker 1: replacing music venues with hotels, not by accident, but because
Speaker 1: they want hotels more, because they recognize those and they
Speaker 1: value them. Almost like fucking music is fucking some language
Speaker 1: they want to stamp out and make it into just
Speaker 1: instrumental ship in the background of a TikTok video, and
Speaker 1: TikTok videos devalue music too. Anyway, these are all things
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about while I'm a lousy mood, and it's
Speaker 1: all like friction. It's just making it more friction less, right,
Speaker 1: like they they've taken out any like TikTok makes everything
Speaker 1: friction less, and you know there take over the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court just makes it. It's all the stuff they've wanted
Speaker 1: to do and been pushing to do, but like they
Speaker 1: no longer have the stops in place, we no longer
Speaker 1: have the protections in place. It's all deregulation equals frictionless
Speaker 1: overpowering of the country by the wealthy, like that's always, always,
Speaker 1: always going to be the case. And did you guys
Speaker 1: hear about the I'm sure you did. You probably already
Speaker 1: talked about it. They're they're trying to raise the Republicans
Speaker 1: are trying to raise the retirement age for pilots. Did
Speaker 1: about that? I mean, I saw that being floated around
Speaker 1: a while back, but I didn't have and sure what
Speaker 1: what was going on today? They're trying to raise the
Speaker 1: age for pilots to The mandatory retirement age for commercial
Speaker 1: pilots is sixty five, but they want to raise it
Speaker 1: the sixty seven because there aren't enough pilots. Just take
Speaker 1: them on vacation, right, So it's like having a draft
Speaker 1: for like bartenders, right and all. Because they don't want
Speaker 1: to raise the wages. They like, we can attract people
Speaker 1: with this current thing, Well, then we got to get
Speaker 1: more out of the people that are dumb enough or
Speaker 1: not dumb enough, but are doing the job. Eventually, they're
Speaker 1: going to lower the labor. They're gonna make it some
Speaker 1: kids can work. That's what they dream of. Yeah, it's like, uh,
Speaker 1: this is your pilot speaking. My name is Brett. I'm
Speaker 1: fortun I didn't connecting the people's great towards the end
Speaker 1: of their career. People towards the end of their career
Speaker 1: and like towards normal retirement age, are easier to manipulate
Speaker 1: and like pay less because they can't like just switch paths,
Speaker 1: you know, switch careers easily. So they're just like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's keep grinding these poor bastards down. I just think
Speaker 1: it's so funny that that's their legislation. They can't pass
Speaker 1: sucking anything, but they're like, you know what we're gonna
Speaker 1: need to do. We're gonna need to do a draft,
Speaker 1: like a military draft with caddies golf a second break. Yet,
Speaker 1: by the way, no, let's do that, and then we'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about real briefly a couple of
Speaker 1: stories that are happening. Let's do it, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and all right, let's talk real quick, what what happened
Speaker 1: in DC on Wednesday. Basically Schumer, you know, Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: has been saying there there's this thing called like the
Speaker 1: Chips Actors, this bill to basically make more semiconductors and
Speaker 1: ship in the United States. It's on China, and will
Speaker 1: also help the automobile industry and you know, relieve some
Speaker 1: supply chain issues ultimately, just to help you know, the
Speaker 1: commerce run fruit. And this was like a thing that
Speaker 1: had bipartisan support too, because they're like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's got China in it. So it was helping you know,
Speaker 1: conservatives and be like, yeah, okay, let's push back against
Speaker 1: all of this. And Mitch McConnell was essentially saying, look,
Speaker 1: you will not have bipartisan support for this bill. If
Speaker 1: you try at all to resurrect any section of the
Speaker 1: Build Back Better Act, don't even fucking think about it.
Speaker 1: If you do, we're going to withhold all the support
Speaker 1: and etcetera, etcetera. So Wednesday, bipartisan support for the Chips bill.
Speaker 1: It passes. Then hours later, Chuck Schumer and Joe Mansion,
Speaker 1: like some w w E characters emerge from the shadows
Speaker 1: with hands like like just upholding hands, being like, we've
Speaker 1: reached a deal on a bill to address climate, the climate, healthcare,
Speaker 1: and some taxes, and we can do it all under reconciliation.
Speaker 1: So we don't need fucking sixty votes. We can do
Speaker 1: it with fifty. And you know what, guess what you know,
Speaker 1: I know everyone was a really cynical, but Mansion really
Speaker 1: hates inflation. So Schumer was like, hey, why don't we
Speaker 1: call this, Why don't we spend money on all this stuff?
Speaker 1: But we can call it the Inflation Reduction Act. And
Speaker 1: you know, if this bill could even reduce the deficit Byllis,
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm in god his ass. So it will
Speaker 1: help fight it is. It does have a question mark
Speaker 1: at the end, is that the name of the bill
Speaker 1: is Inflation Reduction Act. Question about it? Maybe, And it
Speaker 1: will finally help, you know, like lower healthcare costs because
Speaker 1: Medicare can now negotiate directly to set prescription drug costs
Speaker 1: has been a fucking thing people in time about for ages.
Speaker 1: Then it will you know, lower some senior out of
Speaker 1: pocket expenses, reduced Obamacare costs for people who will be
Speaker 1: seeking coverage on the exchange, and the prescription drug savings
Speaker 1: and a new tax of fiftent on corporate profits will
Speaker 1: help fund the healthcare portion, as well as three hundred
Speaker 1: sixty nine billion in climate funding. And a lot of
Speaker 1: these are in the form of incentives, And you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: what the funk Joe Man, Huh? Not only that, Like
Speaker 1: I said, Schumer played McConnell, and everyone's sort of like,
Speaker 1: this is wild. You have core climate spending, increased corporate taxes,
Speaker 1: and healthcare. We not so fucking fast, you fucking idiot.
Speaker 1: You forgot this was America all of a sudden, because yes,
Speaker 1: as Ed Markey from Massachusetts describes this as quote the
Speaker 1: most significant investment environmental justice and climate action in American history.
Speaker 1: That sounds good, but just like criminal justice reform, in
Speaker 1: this country, even the slightest movement towards progress will be
Speaker 1: just by default, the most significant action we've ever taken.
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to take a full ship on
Speaker 1: this bill because there are good things in it, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's there are there are you know, like there
Speaker 1: is encouragement for more renewables and tackling emissions reductions and
Speaker 1: things like that. And they'll say we'll reduce emissions by
Speaker 1: about and analysts are like, okay, that's feasible. But what
Speaker 1: the spill really does. It gives mansion the field goods
Speaker 1: by investing more in like there was a bit of
Speaker 1: a deal. He wanted more infrastructure to be able to
Speaker 1: sell more fossil fuels, essentially to get the product of
Speaker 1: ports to be able to ship it out. And also
Speaker 1: this bill, what it really does, a lot of the
Speaker 1: emphasis is really on relying on cars, and all the
Speaker 1: experts have said repeatedly just just switching cars to electric
Speaker 1: isn't going to cut it, Like we need actually need
Speaker 1: to be more efficient across the board, like we need
Speaker 1: more green spaces, we need better urban planning so people
Speaker 1: can walk to places, or take light rail, or take bikes,
Speaker 1: or have better bike lanes, because those are all the
Speaker 1: things that help people create less emissions. So it sounds
Speaker 1: very un American, Yeah, exactly from point get away from
Speaker 1: fucking cars. No. So what the bill does it in
Speaker 1: incentivizes consumers to just buy electric cars, and when it
Speaker 1: mentions trains and light rail, the purpose is to say
Speaker 1: that those industries are excluded from the funding. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting because it's doing some good things while
Speaker 1: also really putting like ignoring something that a lot of
Speaker 1: climatologists and people have saying been saying, which is like,
Speaker 1: I know, we all think electric car equals no emissions,
Speaker 1: which is true from the car, but if you think
Speaker 1: about what it takes to make the car and also
Speaker 1: where the fucking electricity comes for your car. That's where
Speaker 1: the bigger issue is, because unless you're charging that ship
Speaker 1: straight off a solar panel, it's pretty likely that the
Speaker 1: electricity you're using to charge in e V is coming
Speaker 1: from burning fossil fuels. So I was just reading Advice.
Speaker 1: They were one of the reporters. There were just like
Speaker 1: you know, giving like sort of a sober analysis of
Speaker 1: like what's happening, Like there are some good things, but
Speaker 1: the car piece. I really wanted to bring to people's
Speaker 1: attention that you know, how efficient an electric car actually is.
Speaker 1: Then this is from Vice. It's is quote. Electric car
Speaker 1: owners today would generally be thrilled to get an efficiency
Speaker 1: of four miles per killer hour. Most get less. But
Speaker 1: if you're traveling at sixty five miles per hour on
Speaker 1: the highway, that means using sixteen kilowatts to travel for
Speaker 1: one hour. In that same time, a whole home air
Speaker 1: conditioner running at full tilt is using something like four kilowatts.
Speaker 1: So driving on the highway uses at a bare minimum
Speaker 1: as much electricity as running four air conditioners at once.
Speaker 1: But realistically, most e vs get less than four miles
Speaker 1: per kilowatt hour, and most people drive faster than sixty
Speaker 1: five miles per hour on the highway, so the actual
Speaker 1: effect is probably more like five or even seven air conditioners.
Speaker 1: So we have, sure, we can go, We can talk
Speaker 1: about electric vehicles, but we really need to, you know,
Speaker 1: sincerely address the electric the energy generation piece of it
Speaker 1: all too, because then everything is thrown out of lack.
Speaker 1: So we've taken a step forward and maybe like two
Speaker 1: thirds back, so still forward progress. But again it's a
Speaker 1: very American bill that men are like it's revolution sinary.
Speaker 1: But it's like when you think of how much has
Speaker 1: to be done and how little we've done, sure it
Speaker 1: is all that to say this this has to be
Speaker 1: built upon rather than I'm sure many people like to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, well we did that, even though we
Speaker 1: were talking about a trillion dollars before this. We need
Speaker 1: to look at nuclear energy is what we need to
Speaker 1: look at. But where that's a conversation for another day.
Speaker 1: I want to measure everything by air conditioners. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like like man I man I had an orgasm. That
Speaker 1: thing was probably the forest of like nine air conditioners,
Speaker 1: nine conditioning standards homes. You know what I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, oh yeah, and this I
Speaker 1: took a six air conditioner ship the other day. Those
Speaker 1: things are all full the plunger. Get the set of
Speaker 1: right now, when I measure everything and how much it
Speaker 1: takes to ment a bitcoin, that's what I usually measure.
Speaker 1: It used to be my old, my old way of
Speaker 1: making sense of at all what I mean. This is
Speaker 1: all like again, it's good that there is movement towards
Speaker 1: tackling this, even though again it took Joe mansion. The
Speaker 1: way he's talking about the build too is just like
Speaker 1: he's just dunking on Joe Biden's like agenda too, as
Speaker 1: if he's still like this conservative. It's really weird, he
Speaker 1: said quote. For too long, the reconciliation to baiting Washington
Speaker 1: has been defined by how it can help advance Democrats.
Speaker 1: A political agenda called build back better, build back better
Speaker 1: is dead, and instead we have the opportunity to make
Speaker 1: our country stronger by bringing Americans together. Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: It seems like the president just needs to be a
Speaker 1: like punching bag, Like that is the role of the
Speaker 1: of the American president now? Is that like just take
Speaker 1: it for granted everyone's gonna hate them, and then you
Speaker 1: can consolidate Congress against them to get things done. Like
Speaker 1: just how big a stooge they are is like the
Speaker 1: like how useful they are. Basically that's interesting because the
Speaker 1: approval ratings have just like gone down, down, down down,
Speaker 1: of course, because the because the real power is with
Speaker 1: multinational corporations and they can do anything. The president is
Speaker 1: basically like just set dressing to distract people. But people
Speaker 1: aren't even like distracted by the president anymore. They're just like,
Speaker 1: funk that guy, you know. I mean they're like we
Speaker 1: say fuck Trump. Yeah, I mean it goes back to
Speaker 1: like it's just it's just depressing. But anyway, just thinking
Speaker 1: about like you know, Net Network, the movie Network from
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen something, Yeah, all those but that cynical at
Speaker 1: the time. I got it exactly right right the famous
Speaker 1: speech where Ned Beatty playing essentially God telling Peter Finch like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know your your your act is over. We're canceling
Speaker 1: you because you you know, you're getting too negative and
Speaker 1: you're telling too many truths. And for a while you
Speaker 1: were entertaining, but now you're just you know, you're you
Speaker 1: know you are you're you're revealing what's behind the curtain,
Speaker 1: and what's behind the curtain is that there are no nations.
Speaker 1: There's just dollars. There's no nations anymore, there's no These
Speaker 1: nations are just these nationalism and these things just distractions
Speaker 1: to keep people busy while the real business of running
Speaker 1: the world goes on at you know, the G seven
Speaker 1: or the you know, yeah, or like any of these
Speaker 1: like big you know, fucking Builderberg Group or whatever, these
Speaker 1: these these things, okay, well yeah, yeah wherever they're building bears,
Speaker 1: and they're building bears, like bears that are able to
Speaker 1: shoot guns at people. And if you think build a bar, again,
Speaker 1: build a bear and not connected. Come on, I think
Speaker 1: everything is true. But yeah, the president is just like
Speaker 1: a freaking I mean, it's not he doesn't. It's really bad,
Speaker 1: you know. It's just like we should really just say,
Speaker 1: like the people who are on the war world are
Speaker 1: like Jeff bezos and stop using these middlemen and stuff
Speaker 1: and just make them the president and then everybody can
Speaker 1: be mad at them instead. I didn't do anything. He
Speaker 1: didn't do anything, and I mean that literally, he didn't
Speaker 1: do anything. But he can't. We should say that this
Speaker 1: is a piece of sponsored content that we are using
Speaker 1: to launch Jeff Bezos presidential campaign. We just we think
Speaker 1: he's going to be he's the man for the job,
Speaker 1: especially if you take a just google Jeff Bezos cowboy
Speaker 1: hat and just just google can Amazon deliver and you
Speaker 1: and so can President Bazos. I think you're right though,
Speaker 1: you know, Jack, I think that that point that the
Speaker 1: these big businessmen who really run the world are using
Speaker 1: the the president of United States is just like a
Speaker 1: foil to make themselves like they're they're there and they're
Speaker 1: the ones in charge. Um, you know, Chuck Schumer's daughter
Speaker 1: is an Amazon lobbyist. I just found that out. That's
Speaker 1: you know what what for her. He's a Democrat, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's got his daughter is a lobbyist for a
Speaker 1: fucking corporation. I mean whatever, It's just you know, so yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's like it's like, really, these guys are getting
Speaker 1: to aggrandize themselves by being like, hey, we could run
Speaker 1: this better than this idiot, like you know, but they
Speaker 1: are running it and they're not running it better. They
Speaker 1: don't need they don't. When you have that much wealth
Speaker 1: you have, you actually have no need to be anywhere
Speaker 1: near like office, because you can you can we already
Speaker 1: just talked about how much can be done by twenty
Speaker 1: seven billionaires spending less than one percent of the money
Speaker 1: they made during the pandemic to shift things massively. You
Speaker 1: were just talking about that, like not not in this episode.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, right, yeah, that's like two days ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, so that you're right, though
Speaker 1: the president is functioning now is a guy to make
Speaker 1: for the corporate heads too, who are running ship. Look
Speaker 1: at I mean, I would say effectively Clarence Thomas is
Speaker 1: the most powerful person in the world. Oh yeah, then
Speaker 1: there's you know what I mean. And then it shows
Speaker 1: to like what is the like how these offices operate,
Speaker 1: are you know, based on how we perceive them or
Speaker 1: we can really choose to look at where the influence
Speaker 1: comes from, and it's about the billions of dollars that
Speaker 1: are constantly being pumped into people's pockets or into those
Speaker 1: same big business people, whether they realize it or not,
Speaker 1: they're they're sort of the dark money that that they generate,
Speaker 1: whether it's whether they're actually donating to Clarence Thomas or not. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: the forces of big business are installing right wing politicians
Speaker 1: because that those are the ones that serve their interests
Speaker 1: my money forever and I don't want to ever die
Speaker 1: And just poking a finger at Joe Biden, you know, man,
Speaker 1: talk about being a president at the wrong time, Like
Speaker 1: you just signed up to be like just like a
Speaker 1: fucking just to be on. I mean there's no one
Speaker 1: believes that. I mean after Trump especially, no one believes
Speaker 1: the president has any well just like also the worst,
Speaker 1: the the less appropriate person couldn't come at a worse time,
Speaker 1: you know, like the momentum. You know, you can't have
Speaker 1: someone who's like hails from Delaware, which is we love
Speaker 1: we hey incorporate here, baby, because we'll we'll bend over
Speaker 1: backwards to accommodate your business, like from coming from a
Speaker 1: place like that, to tackle the problem of like the
Speaker 1: wealth and influence of moneyed interests in corporations, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: how do you know so much about Delaware because that's
Speaker 1: like that's like one of the first things I was
Speaker 1: taught in like government everything corporation like that you got
Speaker 1: to incorporate or even I remember like the first business
Speaker 1: class I took like in college, like yeah, and every
Speaker 1: and you got to incorporate in Delaware, like there or Nevada,
Speaker 1: like those are your options. But like most companies do
Speaker 1: and all the credit card companies are in Delaware, Like
Speaker 1: there's a reason why. You know. That's like it's like
Speaker 1: being for I don't even know what the example for
Speaker 1: California would be, but like if we said, you know,
Speaker 1: our biggest industry was weed or something like that, be
Speaker 1: like being a California Democrat who's like being like, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm against the legalizing weed. Like what, that's not
Speaker 1: how this state works. Well, you know the state where
Speaker 1: like white color crime, there's a white color crime purge
Speaker 1: happening at all times. They're like, no, you're good here, man,
Speaker 1: you just say your company is located here. We're We're good.
Speaker 1: You don't even have to be located here, you just
Speaker 1: need to say you're from here. I like that. This
Speaker 1: just turned into a Delaware region, man, Delaware's Daily's I
Speaker 1: guess every day. It was just like Delaware, What are
Speaker 1: we gonna do about that? Jackie Miles are doing. They've
Speaker 1: been talking about Delaware for nine episodes, and they also
Speaker 1: have that accent that we started out talking about. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start listen to that dex Shepherd show Shephard talking
Speaker 1: about Delaware. Ye, but yeah, I've been by the way.
Speaker 1: I got a friend in academia who's been digging down
Speaker 1: into the landfills h in Delaware. Huh. And they're using
Speaker 1: a lot more dildos than they're admitting to there. It
Speaker 1: is turn ur. We figured about one bilbo a block
Speaker 1: no way, no way, four or five household and if
Speaker 1: you think those are energy efficient, either that or one
Speaker 1: household had like six hundred fifty thousand buildos, but we
Speaker 1: don't think so it's wild to think there's like this
Speaker 1: one address I know that has like hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of businesses like use this address in Delaware to say
Speaker 1: that's where they're incorporated. And it's just wild all because
Speaker 1: of the the business friendly loopholes in the state. Like
Speaker 1: name any company. It's like Amazon, Apple, fucking Facebook, JP Morgan,
Speaker 1: like they're all there. They all live in the same
Speaker 1: house together, our house well Criss Crofton as always such
