Speaker 1: quite a bit, just hoping like one time it'll just
Speaker 1: like say all right, fine, And it's gotten to the
Speaker 1: point now where they come back and say now you're

Speaker 1: happened with me is uh well, you know they were like,
Speaker 1: can you verify your age? And I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, whatever, and the day that I was just like,
Speaker 1: I'll put in a fake age, you know, because that's
Speaker 1: my instinct because I'm a millennial. You know, you just
Speaker 1: want to see well, that's what they taught me to
Speaker 1: do in school. They were like, don't ever tell anyone
Speaker 1: your birthday online. And now it's like a big thing.
Speaker 1: You know, you put in, you put in, You put
Speaker 1: in an age that was older or younger than you are.
Speaker 1: I put in an age that was younger than I am,
Speaker 1: and it was zero years old. I put that my
Speaker 1: birth year was eight, and I thought that's funny, and
Speaker 1: then I submitted it, and then they were like, you're
Speaker 1: under thirteen, so we have to suspend your account. And
Speaker 1: then they were like, well upload I d and so
Speaker 1: I did, but they still didn't give me my account back.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what fun it take my privacy?
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like I just don't want to have
Speaker 1: to get through Instagram account. But then they just said
Speaker 1: no anyways. Also, why option for a birth year, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Why design the menu like that? Why
Speaker 1: is any beyond this year? It's insane. They want to
Speaker 1: catch any whipper snappers. Yeah, they want to catch all
Speaker 1: the sperm they can. Yeah, all the two year olds
Speaker 1: who know the number of the year they were born,
Speaker 1: trying to post, trying to post selfies, well, at least they're,
Speaker 1: you know, protecting social media and discourse in this country
Speaker 1: from misinformation and uh scary rhetoric. I love that that is.
Speaker 1: Those are the only two examples I've heard of them
Speaker 1: trying to like cut down on those like threats of
Speaker 1: violence is is stubb toe and then disinformation your birthday.
Speaker 1: That's an incredible tweet by Maddie Glesias, A real real Hey,
Speaker 1: before anyone says anything bad, I'm Erica is the greatest
Speaker 1: country in the world. Just to say that, I just
Speaker 1: immediately your response to over a dozen children, before anyone
Speaker 1: says anything America is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 1: And before you but wait, before he say anything, just
Speaker 1: remember that a lot of people in the world want
Speaker 1: to live in America because it's the greatest country in
Speaker 1: the world. And you know what, maybe I missed up
Speaker 1: by saying, you know that he was lying in you know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I don't know. I mean, what you said
Speaker 1: was very harsh, sounds terrible. They do they do. You
Speaker 1: know what, me and Trump, we both deserved our bands.
Speaker 1: He has actually had to get a security detail. Congress
Speaker 1: has paid for a security detail to follow him around
Speaker 1: and make sure that all furniture in his house, does
Speaker 1: not have anything sticking out on which he stubborn to
Speaker 1: so costing him millions, and he's he's so shaken up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Sorry, We're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about. The
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is continuing to kill it and by it
Speaker 1: I mean us and our future offspring with a ruling
Speaker 1: that like he can't, I don't know. It's like pro
Speaker 1: pollution pro it was. It was really like pro rich people,
Speaker 1: anti being able to tell people where and when they
Speaker 1: can dump toxic waste into the air. And we'll talk
Speaker 1: about whether Biden is going to suspend the filibuster. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about. So we do have some bad news.
Speaker 1: The Mnions are the Zodiac killer, it turns out. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about why that's the case, all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Sara June, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history something from my search history. This is a straight
Speaker 1: truth only fact. I had to google where did pigs originate?
Speaker 1: Because I wanted to know if they were native to
Speaker 1: the American continents or not, and they're not like everything
Speaker 1: else there from Asia. And this led me down a
Speaker 1: little rabbit hole. I found a great website that I'd
Speaker 1: like to recommend to all of you called macro evolution
Speaker 1: dot net. It has a lot of articles about documentation
Speaker 1: of doing air quotes, documentation of different animal hybrids that
Speaker 1: have either happened or people said they happened. And some
Speaker 1: of them see and there's like a it's a it's
Speaker 1: a great website. It's clearly quite old. It looks like
Speaker 1: somebody like did it themselves in in HTML in like
Speaker 1: two and uh there's like a little scale of the
Speaker 1: reliable crosses and anyways, I found out that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of pig dog hybrids. Some of them are uh uh.
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of like old newspaper articles where
Speaker 1: people were like a hog was born, that might be
Speaker 1: a cat, you know, or like a dog and a
Speaker 1: pig and a baby. This thinks about that body of
Speaker 1: a dog and the head of a pig, or the
Speaker 1: head of a pig and a body of a dog.
Speaker 1: And there's on here a scale of reliable crossings, and
Speaker 1: the most reliable crossing is dog x wolf and then
Speaker 1: if you go further down, there's like dog x bear,
Speaker 1: dog x human, dog x pig is in the middle
Speaker 1: the yellow zone, and then at the very bottom of
Speaker 1: the crossings is dog x hawk, the least reliable hybrid,
Speaker 1: but still one that people have attempted to document. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I think this website is great, very happy with my
Speaker 1: Google sir. I also I also love the I also
Speaker 1: love the U. I wish I want to know where
Speaker 1: every animal originates? Now, uh Like, wouldn't what a good
Speaker 1: jumping off point to go down every rabbit hole? You could? Yeah,
Speaker 1: rabbits do they even originate from holes? That's the question
Speaker 1: that I need to know. There is a whole set
Speaker 1: and on this we know they live in holes. You've
Speaker 1: seen Looney Tunes, You've seen that bogs. He's got a
Speaker 1: whole little arm there, possibly at the center of the
Speaker 1: earth with the mold people. There is a whole section
Speaker 1: on so it's macro evolution dot net. That is human
Speaker 1: origins that I am worried about before I even read it.
Speaker 1: But don't read that part. Just read dog x Hawk
Speaker 1: Dog extra My theory of human origins rationale is the
Speaker 1: is the first big subhead so interesting There's also a
Speaker 1: lot of cute stories about like dogs that adopted a
Speaker 1: litter of pigs or pigs that adopted like a puppy,
Speaker 1: and then either the pig or the dog grew up
Speaker 1: thinking that it was the opposite. And then, you know,
Speaker 1: because they had imprinted upon a different species, they then
Speaker 1: later sought out mates of that species. And that's where
Speaker 1: the cuteness of the story. And like where the Dodo part,
Speaker 1: where the Dodos segment would would cut off, it would
Speaker 1: be like and then he kept trying to you know,
Speaker 1: this dog that was raised by a pig kept trying
Speaker 1: to pigs his whole life. The end was it was
Speaker 1: horribly lonely for the rest of their life. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do feel like this is this was an entire genre
Speaker 1: of fan fiction before like the advent of culture. What
Speaker 1: it was. It was just like all before culture when
Speaker 1: culture right, but when people like lived on farms and
Speaker 1: stuff like this was farmer fan fiction and something like
Speaker 1: regularly there's that and my boy got together. Could you
Speaker 1: imagine that become that many? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that's how Batman was started.
Speaker 1: You know, what's the dude named Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
Speaker 1: It's their names. They were just like, uh oh okay,
Speaker 1: if a man go on, what if a man in
Speaker 1: a bet what? And then you know we get the
Speaker 1: greatest super arrow of all time would be Pigman. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. The sense of smell alone. One of
Speaker 1: the crossovers that they've got here is pig and cheap
Speaker 1: and the it's probably the most convincing photoshop I've seen
Speaker 1: so far, sheep pig. They were like a photo and
Speaker 1: then underneath the caption says a reconstruction m M as
Speaker 1: shown in a b Okay. This one says a sheep
Speaker 1: pig hybrid as shown in a BBC article. And it's
Speaker 1: just a pig shaped animal covered in sheep's for yeah,
Speaker 1: there there. And there's always like really old news articles
Speaker 1: like nineteen o two from the Minneapolis Journal, a notice
Speaker 1: about a pig sheep hybrid that appeared in the Minneapolis Journal.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like, yeah, that that's the one
Speaker 1: that I feel. I feel like people were waiting for
Speaker 1: because the pigs and sheep are are all all over
Speaker 1: the farm and they're like, oh man, we've been shipping
Speaker 1: these two for millennia where one are these two going
Speaker 1: to get together? And there's one article about calfs and
Speaker 1: a calf dog alleged cow dog hybrid from article from
Speaker 1: the Laredo Times in Laredo, Texas. And it's just written.
Speaker 1: You know, they really used to write newspaper articles with
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of color. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon. John P. Debs telephoned to the freak editor
Speaker 1: of the Times. They had a freak editor at the
Speaker 1: paper because they published so many stories about hybrid animals,
Speaker 1: which they call freaks. Post taste to his dairy near
Speaker 1: the Holding Institute for McIntosh and he would behold a
Speaker 1: freakiest freak that would furnish the gorm for a good story.
Speaker 1: I'm not improvising. This is what it says. All right,
Speaker 1: this is what the show is from now on. We're
Speaker 1: we're different news stories from that. I mean, honestly, this
Speaker 1: is this is the zeit guys from this was nineteen right,
Speaker 1: Just change your name from the Daily Slight guys to
Speaker 1: pass Night guys. Yeah, you're all good. You're all good.
Speaker 1: That was the time when sheep were pigs and uh
Speaker 1: yeah it's uh calves, bring back the freak desk in
Speaker 1: addition to all the things were corporate media. Yeah, men
Speaker 1: were men, pigs were dogs, and sheep were also pigs.
Speaker 1: In addition to all the other ways the corporate media
Speaker 1: needs to do a better job, they also need to
Speaker 1: do a worse job and bring bring back the freak desk.
Speaker 1: That that's a great thank you for bringing the freak
Speaker 1: desk to our attention. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Here's uh, something most dog owners probably know is that
Speaker 1: when it's hot outside, asphalt is really really really hot.
Speaker 1: So basically what I think is overrated as asphalt and
Speaker 1: related astro turf. This is, you know, we live in
Speaker 1: l A. It's very hot here. You know, we're having
Speaker 1: to deal with different types of weather chain change than
Speaker 1: all the rest of the country. But a lot of
Speaker 1: places are getting really hot. And uh, one thing that
Speaker 1: is making cities even hotter than they actually need to
Speaker 1: be is asphalt. It can get like fifty degrees hotter
Speaker 1: than the temperature. So if it's a hundred degrees outside,
Speaker 1: asphalt will be a hundred and fifty degrees And astro
Speaker 1: turf actually is worse. It can make it like eighty
Speaker 1: degrees hotter on the aster turf because it's just plastic
Speaker 1: and it heats up and it gets really hot and
Speaker 1: it kills the swill underneath. So I think I know
Speaker 1: in l A we've been like talking a lot of
Speaker 1: the city talks a lot about low water solutions, and
Speaker 1: not all low water solutions are actually good for climate
Speaker 1: change overall. So anyway, there's a very cool organization called
Speaker 1: Angelino's for Green Schools that I've been following lately. I'm
Speaker 1: not involved with them, but I do think what they're
Speaker 1: doing is good. Basically, the l A u s D
Speaker 1: is like a huge landowner in the city and they're
Speaker 1: trying to de pave a lot of the schools by
Speaker 1: basically remove a bunch of pavement and put in gardens,
Speaker 1: native plant gardens. It's a great idea. My candidate of
Speaker 1: choice for Mayor, Rick Crusoe, is telling me that the best,
Speaker 1: most low water choices just put pavement over everything, make
Speaker 1: everything that growth is corrected. It is low water unless
Speaker 1: you do what a lot of people do, which is
Speaker 1: hosed down their pavement with water. If you live in it,
Speaker 1: if you live in southern California, please God do not
Speaker 1: do this. But no, actually it's not going to help
Speaker 1: cool your home. Yeah, what people be wet in the concrete.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of as before. I mean, like, you know,
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, we had we had a
Speaker 1: lawn and we would have you know that the sprinkler
Speaker 1: that went back and forth and yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: the conqueror you get wet then, But it was for
Speaker 1: the grass. It was just because it was too much
Speaker 1: water like spraying. But people, what's that for? What do
Speaker 1: they what do people do that for spray to concrete
Speaker 1: for to wash it instead of just why sure they
Speaker 1: like hose it down. Yeah, it's with like a pressure
Speaker 1: washer usually or like a high powered hose. It's it's
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible use of water, and we literally are
Speaker 1: draining the state in order to have water here in California.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a limb and say
Speaker 1: that anybody who actually like pressure like water or cleans
Speaker 1: the sidewalk to wash it and make it clean would
Speaker 1: also probably not want like our on house population on
Speaker 1: that same clean side wood, Like, get off my side.
Speaker 1: So you don't think they're doing it to make it clean.
Speaker 1: You're doing it to make it clean for people. They're
Speaker 1: just doing it. Yeah, I'm just talking about people who
Speaker 1: like hose down their driveways. That's like a thing that
Speaker 1: people do, and I don't know, maybe on the East
Speaker 1: Coast in places where it rains a lot, but to
Speaker 1: do it here is is a is a really I mean,
Speaker 1: I think overall it's it's a waste of water. But
Speaker 1: we live in a very high risk water situation out here.
Speaker 1: And something I was I was actually talking to a
Speaker 1: friend about this and they were like, well, what if
Speaker 1: you like painted the pavement to make it white and
Speaker 1: then it would reflect heat. Would that at least help
Speaker 1: with the existing pavement? And I looked into it and
Speaker 1: it turns out there is a thing that there is
Speaker 1: a product that does that. It's basically a paint and
Speaker 1: you paint over this payment it's called cool seal. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't make the pavement cooler. It just reflects the heat,
Speaker 1: so it makes your body your body just absorbs more
Speaker 1: of the heat. So it does the opposite of what
Speaker 1: it's supposed to do. And it's not a good solution. However,
Speaker 1: it would be a pretty good solution for roofs, right yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you're walking on it, your your pants will
Speaker 1: literally catch on fire. But I mean it's literally blinding,
Speaker 1: Like the glarite is also blinding. So it's not a
Speaker 1: good choice for streets. So you know, it's not just
Speaker 1: like you can't really make asphalt. It's not a good solution,
Speaker 1: and it it's just the numbers. You know, if you
Speaker 1: look at the numbers of like the temperatures now and
Speaker 1: assume that they're going to go up, the kind of
Speaker 1: leeway with that we've been working with with asphalt and
Speaker 1: pavement and concrete is like all of those things are
Speaker 1: making it hotter than it needs to be. What is
Speaker 1: something that you think is underrated? Oh? Eastern hats, Eastern
Speaker 1: Easter hats, Eastern Eastern Okay, Okay, so i'd say, oh,
Speaker 1: don't let my black grandma hear you say that. No,
Speaker 1: Easter hats are amazing. They're highly rated, and they're they're
Speaker 1: appropriately rated. I love easter hats. No, what is uh
Speaker 1: what is underrated is I think Eastern styles of hats
Speaker 1: versus Western styles of hats. I've been watching this Persian
Speaker 1: drama series called jay Ron. I got into it when
Speaker 1: I had COVID, and it's set in like the eighteen
Speaker 1: hundreds roughly, Like it doesn't really like, you know, stay
Speaker 1: to a year was like eighteen hundreds up silling nineteen
Speaker 1: twenties maybe, So it's the Kajar dynasty. So there's like
Speaker 1: a king. It's about this like beautiful girl and the
Speaker 1: king sees her and he's like, I must have you,
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, I wish to marry my peasant
Speaker 1: boyfriend and he's like, no, you have to marry me. Anyways,
Speaker 1: it's great and a bunch of guys on it where
Speaker 1: these hats that are like I can actually i'll send
Speaker 1: you a picture right now. Jack O'Brien has written Eastern hats. Um.
Speaker 1: I've given you a link to a picture of a
Speaker 1: couple of these hats. They're very tall and they have
Speaker 1: no brim uh. And this is like an old Persian
Speaker 1: style of hat. If you've seen Jesus Christ Superstar the
Speaker 1: Persian Jews in that movie, where these really tall, cool
Speaker 1: black hats that are like look kind of like pope hats.
Speaker 1: So there's just like a lot of different styles of hat. Um.
Speaker 1: It's like a beanie mix with a poet. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have a brim, so it doesn't shields your
Speaker 1: face from the sun at all. It just shields the
Speaker 1: top of your head, and mostly it's about status. Makes
Speaker 1: you look as makes you look super tall. Like some
Speaker 1: guys have these really tall hats. Some of them are
Speaker 1: tall and kind of pointy. Mostly they're black wool. Some
Speaker 1: guys have these like little kind of round hats that
Speaker 1: make it makes the top of their head look like
Speaker 1: a minion, but but a black minion. Mm hmm yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, yeah. This is a great This is a
Speaker 1: great series. Do you know what this hat is called?
Speaker 1: The Duncan Beanie. I don't know what any of these
Speaker 1: hats are called. I'm definitely gonna try and find out.
Speaker 1: But here's a real link off to a picture of
Speaker 1: it in the footnotes and you can do the research
Speaker 1: for it. There's the minion hat. I want to buy.
Speaker 1: I want to buy some of these hats. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at them now. I want to buy some of these hats.
Speaker 1: I have too much hair, I think, or not too
Speaker 1: much hair. My hair is just frowed out. So unless
Speaker 1: I'm wearing braids, I can. I can wear hats. Gives there,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I wanna. I want to. I want to
Speaker 1: buy one of these hats and bring them in fashion.
Speaker 1: I wish I was in the n b A. That's
Speaker 1: what we need to bring these hats like to like
Speaker 1: monitor fashion or to like cult to the culture and
Speaker 1: to street fashion, because that's when fashion hits is when
Speaker 1: when black folks start doing ship. That's when everybody start
Speaker 1: doing ship. Black folks and lgbt uh que people whenever,
Speaker 1: Whenever those communities wear fucking fashion, that's when they hit
Speaker 1: the mainstream. So we need like the NBA A and
Speaker 1: the w n b A and it would bring forward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nice. It's a hat made for people with thick hair.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, you're gonna pile up all your
Speaker 1: hair and then put this hat on top of it,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and that and just like shake your
Speaker 1: hair out like like Nick Cage walking off the plane
Speaker 1: and con air. Yeah, he lets your hair hit the wind.
Speaker 1: Although it's it's so interesting because he has so much hair,
Speaker 1: but he's also clearly losing his hair in that movie,
Speaker 1: like the hairline is moving back, rocking so much hair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I imagine right before that shot he took his
Speaker 1: eastern hat off and let the sun hit his full
Speaker 1: head and just was reveling in it. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: ones that I'm sending you guys are like specifically Persian hats,
Speaker 1: but there are very similar styles like all across Asia,
Speaker 1: and I think that it's just an area that we
Speaker 1: in the West have not explored fashion wise. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is very dope, has great underrated. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll talk about the Supreme Court and
Speaker 1: then we will transition quickly to the Mingions. And we're back.
Speaker 1: And since we Mentionedmingans in the first act, I'll just
Speaker 1: say quick quickly, you know, Mingions back at theaters this weekend,
Speaker 1: big big weekend for allmingion heads. We will we will
Speaker 1: get to the big news about Themingions in in Act three,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there.
Speaker 1: But first, the onslat of Supreme Court rulings that just
Speaker 1: make the world worse for humans and better for corporations
Speaker 1: continues with a ruling that basically makes it harder for
Speaker 1: the Executive Branch to or the e p A to
Speaker 1: limit air pollution, which it seems seems like their timing
Speaker 1: is off a little bit here that this is not
Speaker 1: not the move right now. I also just wanted to
Speaker 1: highlight so the New York Times wrote this up. It
Speaker 1: was like the main headline on the New York Times
Speaker 1: for yesterday morning, and they did the thing where they
Speaker 1: gave the Chief Justice Robert's opinion in detail them like
Speaker 1: a quick but what the other side is saying, but
Speaker 1: then back to like the conservative opinion, and they so
Speaker 1: they get the first word in, they really frame it
Speaker 1: as like, you know, this is they're just it's a
Speaker 1: legal disagreement. There's if you read the entire New York
Speaker 1: Times article, you have no option but to conclude that like, well,
Speaker 1: these are both people who have a much better understanding
Speaker 1: of the law than me, and they're just arguing about
Speaker 1: stuff I don't understand, and the they'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: And in fact, it is a political thing, like it's
Speaker 1: a it's political. The court is in place and has
Speaker 1: been almost exclusively throughout the entire history of American place
Speaker 1: to you know, be a check and a balance in
Speaker 1: favor of corporations and capital like from from Jump Street.
Speaker 1: And then I want I also wanted to highlight Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi's statement on this. She said, this devastating decision is
Speaker 1: the latest in the efforts by extremest and partisan Republican
Speaker 1: appointed justices to take a wrecking ball to the health, liberty,
Speaker 1: and security of the American people. In just two weeks,
Speaker 1: the court is acted to erase reproductive health freedom, flood
Speaker 1: our public places with more deadly weapons, and now to
Speaker 1: let our planet burn, which is all I think true.
Speaker 1: But like all you had to do to make that
Speaker 1: extremely effective is to point out, like the mechanism what
Speaker 1: is causing them to do this, that they're not the joker,
Speaker 1: just like wanting to watch the world burn, like that
Speaker 1: actually makes them sound much cooler than they are. They
Speaker 1: are doing the very boring business of helping wealthy interests
Speaker 1: in capital at the at the expense of the people
Speaker 1: reading this article. Like that's that is what they're doing.
Speaker 1: And and it drives me crazy that like she knows
Speaker 1: that she can't say that because she also takes she
Speaker 1: also takes money as well. Uh they also are you know, uh,
Speaker 1: like the separation between church and state is quickly going away. Um,
Speaker 1: And it's all about control. It's about money and control
Speaker 1: and and the things that they would do in secret
Speaker 1: they don't want out in the light, right because you
Speaker 1: can't tell me. Clarence Thomas wouldn't have you know, wouldn't
Speaker 1: condone somebody he got pregnant getting an abortion. Uh, if
Speaker 1: you know you came to him, I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. I wouldn't believe it
Speaker 1: if you asked me, right, Or he would let them, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it actually happens a lot. Yeah yeah. Or
Speaker 1: or the fact that like, you know, you want guns
Speaker 1: and guns and guns, but you won't let guns and
Speaker 1: government buildings. I wonder why that is, right, you know,
Speaker 1: it's all these things that you know, just shows they
Speaker 1: are very hypocritical, hypocritical, you know entity. But I also, um,
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of Nancy Pelosi because we all know
Speaker 1: how evil the Republicans are. But the Nacy Pelosi part
Speaker 1: annoys me because it's just so much in action. Right,
Speaker 1: And like Biden came out today and I was like,
Speaker 1: we we should and he finally is saying we should
Speaker 1: end the filibuster. Right, get people on record to say
Speaker 1: we won't end the filibuster because we don't actually care
Speaker 1: about the things that we've been don't in our fucking
Speaker 1: chest saying we care about the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And I I am very confused on why our side
Speaker 1: won't do the things for the people that voted for
Speaker 1: them that the other side wouldn't hesitate to do if
Speaker 1: if the Supreme Court right now was six to three
Speaker 1: liberal and they were doing all these things, and Republicans somehow,
Speaker 1: some way got control of all three chambers of the government, Presidency,
Speaker 1: the House, the Senate, and they don't even need the
Speaker 1: Presidency to be on just a House and the Senate. Man,
Speaker 1: we would have forty justices on the Supreme Court right now.
Speaker 1: They would fucking they would overload that ship. They would
Speaker 1: do any they would end the filibuster, they would do
Speaker 1: any and everything to get their way. And the fact
Speaker 1: that like if feels like because it's not just you know,
Speaker 1: Democrats are afford decorum because that's that's what they want
Speaker 1: us to think. But they're just also because it's money, man.
Speaker 1: They want all the money and they want the power.
Speaker 1: And then when they lose half the chamber, then they
Speaker 1: can complain for the next two years. We would have
Speaker 1: tried to get you all ship done, but we just
Speaker 1: didn't have the votes. And it was like, well you
Speaker 1: did for two years, motherfucker. You have some, you have most,
Speaker 1: you have, you have what you could use? You have
Speaker 1: what what? What could help. I don't know. I've had
Speaker 1: a lot to say on all of this for the
Speaker 1: past week. It's it's very annoying, it's very upset. I
Speaker 1: will relinquish my time because my filibuster time is over.
Speaker 1: By all means somebody else take away, take it away.
Speaker 1: I mean they're just they're they're fucking everyone. Mm hmm, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. And Jackisi said, like why our side versus
Speaker 1: their side? But like the the people of the United
Speaker 1: States like don't have a side actually, like that's effectively
Speaker 1: where we're at. There's nobody that represents them. Yea. Also,
Speaker 1: can we just like one thing that's been interesting about
Speaker 1: the whole debate, it's like it is kind of turning
Speaker 1: people onto an idea that that the Constitution might be bad.
Speaker 1: Actually that like actually maybe the Constitution like sucks, and
Speaker 1: like preserving or not preserving the Constitution maybe shouldn't be
Speaker 1: that big of a deal because we've we've moved past
Speaker 1: the need for constitution and it was written by slaveholders
Speaker 1: about guns that had like that you had to like
Speaker 1: chew on to fire or to load. I think, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, not only is it not it's not that
Speaker 1: it's not relevant to today because it is. But it's
Speaker 1: that the people who really strongly defend the Constitution, I
Speaker 1: think know what they're defending, and they know that it
Speaker 1: was written by rich white men who owned land and
Speaker 1: enslaved people, and it was written to preserve their interests,
Speaker 1: and they had some ideas about being different from England.
Speaker 1: But overall it wasn't this. It wasn't just because they
Speaker 1: said that it was a democracy doesn't mean they designed
Speaker 1: it as a democracy. Yeah. Yeah, I I hope to
Speaker 1: God that you know, if if I make a decision
Speaker 1: right now two that in three thousand and twenty two,
Speaker 1: nobody gives a ship because like I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear from four people who would be marveled at electricity
Speaker 1: right now, Like I don't know the world. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the world is gonna look like in three
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty two. Also never experienced climate change. They
Speaker 1: never experienced the ship that we are going through right now.
Speaker 1: They never experienced so not only like the control and
Speaker 1: everything like that and the interest of rich white man,
Speaker 1: which like all that is true, but they also made
Speaker 1: up the people are people are picking and choosing what
Speaker 1: men who put forward some like magical rules and the
Speaker 1: time that does not reflect the time we live in.
Speaker 1: And in any other instance that notion would be a
Speaker 1: very easy notion to understand and rally around. But for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they pretend some people pretend like that, why
Speaker 1: do you think foreign knows? Well, yeah, because they're protecting
Speaker 1: the interests of rich white people and they want and
Speaker 1: they love murdering people, and they love enslaving people. They
Speaker 1: want all the things that our forefathers had, which is
Speaker 1: the control and and on land that's not theirs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. And then when you when you read them
Speaker 1: the what the thing that they did seem to feel
Speaker 1: them strongly about separation of church and state. That's the
Speaker 1: one that like the Supreme courts like, yeah, yeah, more
Speaker 1: on that later. We're gonna we we we kind of
Speaker 1: disagree on with them on that one. Yeah, But I mean,
Speaker 1: air pollution is a thing that I think I just
Speaker 1: you know, was being talked about from my my first
Speaker 1: like memory, and so my my brain is just like
Speaker 1: used to it. But it killed three and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: people in the US, and which is ten times more
Speaker 1: than the number of people who were murdered like and
Speaker 1: that's not because was like the bad year for air pollution.
Speaker 1: It was probably like good compared to previous years. It's
Speaker 1: just like the year that like Harvard study was like
Speaker 1: we should actually kind of look into this because it
Speaker 1: does seem to be that we're not paying any attention.
Speaker 1: But it's invisible, right, So it's and it's it's invisible
Speaker 1: in the like literal sense and like you can't really
Speaker 1: it's it's literally not right. And also it's invisible because
Speaker 1: the media does not cover it at all because the
Speaker 1: perpetrator of the crime is corporations and massive companies that
Speaker 1: have lots of money, and so instead they show you
Speaker 1: individual crimes committed that are extremely rare. But you know,
Speaker 1: that's that is very frustrating. Apparently, like a third of
Speaker 1: or rather a quarter of adult deaths from heart disease
Speaker 1: and stroke are from air pollution because if you already
Speaker 1: have clogged arteries and then particulate matter like enters your
Speaker 1: lungs and through that your bloodstream. If it if it
Speaker 1: gets on an artery that's already clogged, your immune system
Speaker 1: goes goes a little haywire and then you get a
Speaker 1: heart attack. So like heart disease is you know, there
Speaker 1: are there are many causes of heart disease, and air
Speaker 1: pollution is one of them. Yeah, so I don't we
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about how like the US currently has,
Speaker 1: you know, the two main parties that are like basically
Speaker 1: just like keeping the current system and the current like
Speaker 1: structures of power in place and working on behalf of
Speaker 1: Wall Street and other like you know, wealthy interests. But
Speaker 1: and the only and then the public sort of sentiment
Speaker 1: is like anything but that it's moving in a direction
Speaker 1: of anything but that. And the fascism. It seems to
Speaker 1: be the only thing that is like mounting a alternative option,
Speaker 1: and like that's scary. But like in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: the fascism is already here. It's like it just does
Speaker 1: not look like it did in the twentieth century. It
Speaker 1: looks like a NonStop thrum of like breathless news coverage
Speaker 1: every time a poor person commits a crime while ignoring
Speaker 1: the crimes committed by that big system that the two
Speaker 1: main parties are are working to upkeep. You know, I
Speaker 1: just at the last two things I want to say
Speaker 1: on this one. It just tickles me that, uh, some
Speaker 1: people will when they bring up the Constitution and our
Speaker 1: forefathers and things like that. They will, you know, talking
Speaker 1: to their blue in the face about how we should
Speaker 1: honor these things from the past. But then when we
Speaker 1: tell them, hey, you know, we're killing our planet. We
Speaker 1: should like save our planet for the future, they're like, no, man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that ship. It's just like,
Speaker 1: all right, man, that's the base little thing. None of
Speaker 1: the other stuff works. If you don't have a planet
Speaker 1: to live on, if you take outside like a lot
Speaker 1: of business suffers, it is insane. But also I was
Speaker 1: to to the last point you made, Jack, I for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, decided I wanted to rewatch Anchorman Too again
Speaker 1: last night because I hadn't seen it since it came
Speaker 1: out because I didn't really love it, and watching it
Speaker 1: almost ten years later now, which made me feel very old.
Speaker 1: But it's almost ten years old. And what the movie
Speaker 1: was about was the dawn of the twenty four hour
Speaker 1: news cycle. And uh, and I'm like, oh, this movie
Speaker 1: hits a little bit harder now than it did uh
Speaker 1: in twenty three. Even though the twenty four hour news
Speaker 1: cycle was very much a thing. Uh, we have seen
Speaker 1: the effect more so today of the twenty four hour
Speaker 1: news cycle and the people who are in charge of
Speaker 1: things like Fox News and the media and things like that. Uh,
Speaker 1: in the interests and you know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: showing the crimes of poor people but not the crimes
Speaker 1: of like white collar criminals and enriched people and things
Speaker 1: like that. I would I would just say, like, let's
Speaker 1: go watch that movie again. If it's a very comedic
Speaker 1: look at pretty much like how that all likely started
Speaker 1: with the twenty four hour news cycle. Uh, it was
Speaker 1: very very interesting and very funny to watch. It was
Speaker 1: still not a great movie, but it was a very
Speaker 1: fun thing to uh to watch in two. I just
Speaker 1: I also think like a a important detail of the
Speaker 1: fascism that is already like in place with the big
Speaker 1: d Democrats and our Republican parties is the like the
Speaker 1: social media, like marketing being one times more powerful than
Speaker 1: what they had before, which I guess was like TV
Speaker 1: ads and like newspaper ads which you actually could look
Speaker 1: at and be like, oh, that's an ad. Like now
Speaker 1: there access to you an ability to like warp your
Speaker 1: reality like that. I think we have a sense that
Speaker 1: that is being used to sell us ship, but it's
Speaker 1: also going to be used and probably already being used
Speaker 1: to you know, sap our revolutionary imagination, our revolutionary energy,
Speaker 1: and to control our behavior, like not in an explicit
Speaker 1: like walk this way, sheep way, but in a more
Speaker 1: like you are given one thousand inputs every day and
Speaker 1: they are all pushing you in the direction to spend money,
Speaker 1: like partake in this like big machine that is currently
Speaker 1: going and nothing is allowing for room or a breath
Speaker 1: to be like this is they're killing us like this
Speaker 1: this thing is killing us. And Jack, did you read
Speaker 1: Stolen Focus? I did not. What is Stolen Focus? That's
Speaker 1: a book about what you're describing. Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: like that that is I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people saying this, but I will now read Stolen Focus
Speaker 1: and be able to cite people who have said what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Better. Cool, All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back. So
Speaker 1: do we want to talk about the Joe Biden? What
Speaker 1: Joe Biden said about the filibuster I could just cover
Speaker 1: real quick. He says, we have to codify Roe v.
Speaker 1: Wade and the law, and the way to do that
Speaker 1: is to make sure Congress supposed to do that. If
Speaker 1: the filibuster gets in the way. It's like voting rights,
Speaker 1: we provide an exception for this, but voting rights we
Speaker 1: we did not get the legislation passed. I don't think
Speaker 1: it is a mistake in my view, for the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court to do what it did. All right, this is
Speaker 1: the I think most Joe Biden e quote. I feel
Speaker 1: extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my
Speaker 1: power which I legally can do in terms of executive orders,
Speaker 1: as well as push the Congress in the public. So
Speaker 1: it just feels like, you know, they're considering, thinking about
Speaker 1: possibly arranging whatever a committee to work through the various
Speaker 1: permutations around doing the right thing. But at least yeah,
Speaker 1: he's open to it. Yeah, he's open to it. I'm
Speaker 1: so tired of here, and I'm going to try to
Speaker 1: do everything am I and my executive legal power to
Speaker 1: do it. It's just just like, all right, man, you've
Speaker 1: been saying that about student loans for the past even
Speaker 1: just fucking do it, man, shut the funk up and
Speaker 1: do it. He it is so goddamn grading. And and
Speaker 1: I I don't want to say I get it, but
Speaker 1: I see and his old geriatric mind when he's trying
Speaker 1: to do is he's trying to be the anti Trump, right,
Speaker 1: which is seemingly all he wanted the presidency. Is I'm
Speaker 1: not Trump, uh, and you know I'm gonna speak softer
Speaker 1: and not be all on Twitter. And it's like, na, man,
Speaker 1: we elected you to do ship too, bro, we elected
Speaker 1: you to two you know, all that power we saw
Speaker 1: Trump trying to wield. Will that ship? Will that ship
Speaker 1: for the people who put you in office? Man like?
Speaker 1: And you know, look if if, if it happens, I
Speaker 1: will gladly eat my words. But I'm not holding my
Speaker 1: breath for you know, this new call two codify and
Speaker 1: in the filibuster because we knew the day that happened
Speaker 1: a few weeks, a few days ago was coming for
Speaker 1: the past two months. So what why did you wait?
Speaker 1: Why did you wait until it happened to say it?
Speaker 1: You could have said that two months ago, bro Like,
Speaker 1: So excuse me if I don't necessarily buy it. But
Speaker 1: I think there is I think they are feeling the
Speaker 1: pressure of the outrage and you know the fact that
Speaker 1: they aren't doing things like being wildly unpopular. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of like whether they will be able to
Speaker 1: do the thing. I get that I get the outrage.
Speaker 1: But you know, I also I am old enough to
Speaker 1: remember the outrage from June about George Floyd and and
Speaker 1: and how we have gone basically did nothing. Uh So
Speaker 1: outrage and feeling the pressure. It's kind of part for
Speaker 1: the course in my mind. Yeah, they feel it. I
Speaker 1: feel outrage, and they're probably also secretly hoping mm hmm.
Speaker 1: This should have passed too, you know, because unfortunately everything does.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm just cyndical to do it.
Speaker 1: I I prayed that I'm wrong. I hope that I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I really really do, because I just want somebody to
Speaker 1: do something with the people we put in office, to
Speaker 1: do the things for us. Well, speaking of things done
Speaker 1: for us, I am going to be seeing a new
Speaker 1: movie coming out this weekend. Yeah. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people there. You can be like, oh, you're just
Speaker 1: doing that. You're just here because your kids want to
Speaker 1: be here. Not true. The Minions Rise of Group is
Speaker 1: a movie I'm looking forward to seeing. Um, or at
Speaker 1: least I was looking forward to seeing until I found
Speaker 1: out what the Minions are really about, you guys, so
Speaker 1: that there's apparently like a bunch of um a bunch
Speaker 1: of conspiracy theories about the Minions, which is not surprising
Speaker 1: because like it's not like they're called minions, Like Christians
Speaker 1: are not going to have a hard time being like
Speaker 1: that they are working on behalf of Satan. But there's
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of like Reddit threads about how the
Speaker 1: Minions were programming the youth of the world into being
Speaker 1: subservient in preparation for the New World Order. And I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying this is a good point.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's a point that people should think about.
Speaker 1: The studio behind the franchise is Illumination. Take the on
Speaker 1: off of that and you got Illuminati. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: do I even have to say anything else. Like they're
Speaker 1: saying the Illuminati is on, and they're saying that's was
Speaker 1: in charge of the Minions. That's that's the message they're
Speaker 1: trying to say. They're just trying to get us all
Speaker 1: ready to be menions for the Illuminati. Right, Okay, I
Speaker 1: get it, you know, I get it. I just saw
Speaker 1: doctors trying and they had the Illuminati and that you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And if I can be you know,
Speaker 1: Mr Fantastic or some ship, then sign me up. I'll
Speaker 1: be in the Illuminati if I can be want to
Speaker 1: know you know. Also I do miss the era of
Speaker 1: you know, cartoon movies. They would always have sequels and ship,
Speaker 1: but they would just go right right to video, like
Speaker 1: and Have or wanted to have or return to Jafar,
Speaker 1: or like The Terrible Beauty and the b sequel with
Speaker 1: the animation it looks like they did it in sixteen seconds,
Speaker 1: like as opposed to how beautiful the animation was in
Speaker 1: the movie. Like the sequels to animated popular movies. Is
Speaker 1: is not new, but like every sequel to an animated
Speaker 1: movie now hits the theater. And I'm just like some
Speaker 1: of these movies can just go right, especially with streaming.
Speaker 1: Some of these movies that does go right to the
Speaker 1: streaming service. We ain't got to have the big to
Speaker 1: do Like how many main and then grew movies do
Speaker 1: we need? This is what like the one or some
Speaker 1: sh it feels like, I mean, how many minions are there?
Speaker 1: How many movies that's true about Minion And they think
Speaker 1: of that, they haven't even gotten to movies about minions
Speaker 1: yet the movies are still about grow once they moved,
Speaker 1: then we're going to move into the named Minions who
Speaker 1: are named Kevin or something, Kevin Stewart and Bob the
Speaker 1: three those three guys are each going to have at
Speaker 1: least three movies each. And then we're going to come
Speaker 1: onto some of the other minions. Yes, the forgotten Minions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's plug and play baby. Okay, you
Speaker 1: know what you write. We'll be right back here when
Speaker 1: Minions six team comes out. Uh So, just such a calendars,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to write Minions into the new Constitution
Speaker 1: so that in two when they when they read it,
Speaker 1: they know that they can relate to us about at
Speaker 1: least one thing. Minions, which are still an active franchise
Speaker 1: in their world Dominions are powerful. Like if you've ever
Speaker 1: watched a child taken a Minion, it's it's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a really interesting character designed. To me, and I
Speaker 1: think to everybody, you know, as many people have pointed
Speaker 1: out their their gender list, but they have butts, and
Speaker 1: to me, it just looks like I know that it's not.
Speaker 1: I know that they probably literally spent hundreds of thousands,
Speaker 1: if not millions of dollars developing the character design of
Speaker 1: this character. But it looks like somebody came up with it.
Speaker 1: INDs it's the easiest possible character to drop because it
Speaker 1: has such a simple shape. Yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: theories about where they came from. One online claim was
Speaker 1: that that they like put out this picture of what
Speaker 1: they claimed were young Holocaust victims who are subject to
Speaker 1: Nazi gas experiments in these like suits with like single
Speaker 1: like goggles on the front, and they were like the
Speaker 1: like enough said, rest our case here on or look
Speaker 1: at these things. You can you can see them in
Speaker 1: the dock. They do remind you, like slightly, I can
Speaker 1: see where people are saying they're the Magions. Except first
Speaker 1: of all, they are not Nazi victims. That's just like
Speaker 1: the all the way the viral news versions they look
Speaker 1: like old diving helmets. They are old diving else that's
Speaker 1: exactly what they're there. It is a photo from and
Speaker 1: it is adult scuba divers about to go dive in
Speaker 1: the ocean and in with like a pinhole of visibility
Speaker 1: because scuba diving was not had not really come into
Speaker 1: its own yet. But also yeah, the people who designed
Speaker 1: the Magians were like somebody like put a took a
Speaker 1: pill and like drew goggles on it, and we were
Speaker 1: like that could work. And then there is like a
Speaker 1: very strange person who is like credited as the creator
Speaker 1: of the Minions, who apparently if you like see this
Speaker 1: person like in reality, you're like, oh, ming are real,
Speaker 1: like not not like body shape and stuff, but just
Speaker 1: like his energy and weirdness. I just love that if
Speaker 1: you are trying, you know, for anybody who hasn't been
Speaker 1: in l A yet, if you're taking a little drive
Speaker 1: on our one on one freeway, h that a big
Speaker 1: as minion is like a big icon drive but you
Speaker 1: just see a big median on a building. It is great.
Speaker 1: Like sometimes when I fly into Burbank, sometimes they will
Speaker 1: fly over Universal or near it where you can kind
Speaker 1: of see it, and I'll look out the window on
Speaker 1: I be like, there's a million as I know we're close.
Speaker 1: Oh my kid pointed out every time we get by
Speaker 1: it instantly a landmark. It's a landmark in l A now,
Speaker 1: and it's very funny. Hey, that's how the Hollywood signs started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. There's so much stuff that we think of
Speaker 1: as like acceptable like cool culture now or whatever, and
Speaker 1: at the time was seen as just like a transparent
Speaker 1: like biggest ball of yarn attraction, like the Hollywood Sign,
Speaker 1: which people like now go up there and take pictures
Speaker 1: and it is actually cool to see up close because
Speaker 1: it's real big, biggest letters I've ever seen in person.
Speaker 1: But uh, but like yeah, that was started as like somebody,
Speaker 1: some you know, Ponzi schemer, being like, I'm gonna build
Speaker 1: a neighborhood and put a big sign. Yeah, for sure, exactly,
Speaker 1: And it was just a just a billboard. Although I
Speaker 1: would say for the Hollywood Sign, it would be dope
Speaker 1: if they bought back Land. Uh, it just had it
Speaker 1: up there saying Hollywood Land. I think that would be yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like a retro update. So it's like an update,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's like a back date but it's new,
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's a throwback, a throwback up the throwback. Yes.
Speaker 1: Also just saw this was very upsetting to me. I
Speaker 1: saw the actor Roy Scheider like on a talk show
Speaker 1: when Jaws was coming out, and the talk show host
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's like everybody has seen Jaws. He's like,
Speaker 1: isn't that the worst? Like he thought Jaws was like
Speaker 1: a terrible like joke movie, Like he it was clear
Speaker 1: he felt embarrassed about having been in Jaws. So yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like it was seen as like a kitty
Speaker 1: popcorn movie and he's like, I make I make jazz movies. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm a dancer. This is this is bullshit. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I do want to just like dig into the past.
Speaker 1: So the Magians are like they do aid evil throughout history,
Speaker 1: and the franchise like did go out of their way
Speaker 1: to build it into their backstory that the Magians were
Speaker 1: frozen between the twenties and nineteen sixty eight. That is
Speaker 1: incredible to me because it you know, as you know,
Speaker 1: as it says, it's clearly to show that they did
Speaker 1: not help the Holocaust. But what's really funny is to
Speaker 1: think that nothing on the scale of the Holocaust happened
Speaker 1: before or after. Yeah. Well, but in the popular it's
Speaker 1: just the only bad thing that happened in that period
Speaker 1: of time. They look, I mean, they nailed us. They
Speaker 1: they anticipated the internet because look at this. They found
Speaker 1: a picture of scuba divers and we're like Nazi children experiments.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that will make people click this
Speaker 1: article because like in the minds of modern people, it's
Speaker 1: like Nazi equals evil brand yeah big, yeah, the worst,
Speaker 1: the worst, like just synonymous with evil. Yes, I do so, John, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: where where it works better? Sorry to keep interrupted here, No,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I do just want to get to the
Speaker 1: fact that they did but now we found out that
Speaker 1: they did Hitler. Yeah, that's the new movie takes place.
Speaker 1: It is a prequel. It takes place in early seventies
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and it's like Grew is stealing the gang's
Speaker 1: a gang. He's fighting his most prized possessive possession, which
Speaker 1: is the Zodiac Stone. Which, okay, so you're trying not
Speaker 1: to implicate them in historic atrocities, but you place this
Speaker 1: movie in San Francisco, you bring in one of the
Speaker 1: name of a serial killer, like maybe America's most notorious
Speaker 1: unsolved serial killer into the thing, and like put it
Speaker 1: right around the same time that that happened. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels like they're trying to tell us something, right. Oh, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the mashup of Millions, Rise of
Speaker 1: Crew and scenes from David Fincher Zodiac Zodiac. You can
Speaker 1: just photoshop minions into frames from Tavid Fincher Zodiac yeah,
Speaker 1: or you just see like things happening from Zodiac in
Speaker 1: the background. So Zodiac did take place between sixty eight
Speaker 1: and sixty nine, the or the Zodiac Killings took place
Speaker 1: between sixty and sixty nine, So obviously they're not going
Speaker 1: to like show that part. But the Minions were around
Speaker 1: and unfrozen in sixty eight, I believe, and you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know what they were up to. This movie
Speaker 1: only gives them an albi for nineteen seventy. They were
Speaker 1: conceivably around San Francisco and they were like doing Zodiac
Speaker 1: related things. So the Zodiac Killings were also quite mischievous,
Speaker 1: much like the minions. Yeah, and then the minions spoken
Speaker 1: a cryptic language. Two cops. I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a code, it was their language. Look like
Speaker 1: that Cruz has some help. Yeah, isn't he the Zodiac Killer?
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we call them? Didn't we call them that?
Speaker 1: One time? He is? Yes, all right, it looks like
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it alone. Sorry, It's been a pleasure
Speaker 1: as always having you on the daily Zeitgeist. Where can
Speaker 1: people find you? Follow you all that good stuff? You
Speaker 1: can find me on Instagram. And Twitter at sorrow to

Speaker 1: the border. I realized my odometer was going to hit
Speaker 1: eighty thou miles thereby reading boots, by studying coincidence, it
Speaker 1: happened right alongside santin No Free nuclear power plant, which
Speaker 1: looks like a pair of giant tits. We felt the
Speaker 1: presence of God in my Jetta what and there's pictures.
Speaker 1: It is my pleasure to say that I was in
Speaker 1: the car when this happened. I can verify that it happened.
Speaker 1: That odometer turned to five right right like, not right
Speaker 1: before and not right after, but right as we were
Speaker 1: passing the giant hits. I mean, it makes you think
Speaker 1: there are no coincidences. That's trying to tell us something,
Speaker 1: and it's boobs, and that is the boob's landmark of America.
Speaker 1: It's the boobs from the beginning of Naked Gun, where
Speaker 1: he's like, everywhere I look, something reminds me of her
Speaker 1: exactly looks over and see's the two Giants. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: in a descendant song. It's so calcanon. Yeah. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: that's amazing. It was amazing. You like, I feel like
Speaker 1: you should buy a lottery ticket or I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's that's got to max out these blessings. I'm speechless.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we all we all need a
Speaker 1: little a little you know, sometimes you're like, yeah, you

Speaker 1: I don't know if you are a basketball fan or
Speaker 1: a sports fan at all, but you probably know that
Speaker 1: New Yorkers are very passionate about their sports teams, especially
Speaker 1: New York Knick fans, and the New York Knicks fans
Speaker 1: have been, you know, hurting for the past few decades
Speaker 1: because the Knicks have sucked. They can't win, and and
Speaker 1: so you mix those two things together and you can
Speaker 1: get some hilarity. Right. So, in two thousand and fifteen,
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks drafted Chris Tapps ports singis uh
Speaker 1: and Knicks fans were not happy because nobody had heard
Speaker 1: of him. He was as European player that nobody knew.
Speaker 1: And this clip is fourteen seconds is I'm gonna play

Speaker 1: New York reacting to the drafts Ultimately, it's very funny.
