Speaker 1: swear that it's bread O. Cat's a fighter of the nightmare.
Speaker 1: They're catching sharks and turtles. That's why the subway tuna
Speaker 1: is hitting all kinds of numbers on those tests and trash,
Speaker 1: because it's part turtle, part shark, and I do like that.
Speaker 1: Our Our response was less about like, oh man, I

Speaker 1: fucking I mean yeah, Well, Miles, we are thrilled and
Speaker 1: fortunate to be joined by that voice that y'all just heard.
Speaker 1: A very funny comedian activist. She's the host of the
Speaker 1: great award winning podcast Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, the Senior
Speaker 1: Fellow on Comedy at the Pop Culture Collapse. She's written
Speaker 1: in The New York Times, wrote and performed a piece
Speaker 1: for some lady named Terry Gross on NPR Fresh Air.
Speaker 1: It's the hilarious and talents our Norma. I was raised
Speaker 1: on the ten second route. If Okay, if you lick
Speaker 1: a skitter, it's poison. Did no, and your life has pended. Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta, we gotta vocal battle going. Damn.
Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Thank you huge? Oh you are. Skittles
Speaker 1: represents queerness, represents diversity, represents eighty suburban life represents my
Speaker 1: non diet, represents convenience store solidarity. Snack right right right, okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: well the good I have some good news. I don't
Speaker 1: think it works so quickly that you lick it and
Speaker 1: immediately die. I think it'll take, you know, at least
Speaker 1: a gauge for the nanoparticles, a word that I just
Speaker 1: learned while researching and reading up on this story. Nanoparticles
Speaker 1: which can travel to parts of your body that other
Speaker 1: molecules can't reach. And uh, there might be poisonous. Whatever
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm out here eating turtles. Man. The problem
Speaker 1: is Jack, that when you told me that, I tweeted
Speaker 1: it and I instagrammed it right away, I didn't notice
Speaker 1: you were busy before we family chat in Iran. So
Speaker 1: spit out those skittles. Look, I know you guys got
Speaker 1: some some maybe something going on over there the skittles,
Speaker 1: though I don't like. I think Iran might be safe
Speaker 1: because they generally feel yeah Europe. Do you know how
Speaker 1: many times my relatives in Iran instagram dm me, are
Speaker 1: you guys okay over there? No? Right? No? Or not?
Speaker 1: Every day? Are you okay? Valid question? Fair enough? All right, Well, Zar,
Speaker 1: we're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
Speaker 1: a couple of the things that we're talking about today.
Speaker 1: We are talking European heat wave. There. There was like
Speaker 1: a hypothetical news report from a few years back where
Speaker 1: they were like, what if, what like, what it's gonna
Speaker 1: look like if climate change keeps up at this rate?
Speaker 1: Here's what the weather report is going to look like
Speaker 1: in and it's basically what it looks like right now.
Speaker 1: Might be ahead of the curve and one of those
Speaker 1: things you don't want to be ahead of the curve
Speaker 1: in And we will of course discuss whether skittles are poison.
Speaker 1: I see, save the most important for the end. I
Speaker 1: understand exactly all that plenty more. But first, Zara, we
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history, X file script. Baby, you're just trying to
Speaker 1: some late bedtime reading or what are we looking for?
Speaker 1: The truth is out there? Yes, oh my god. Okay.
Speaker 1: It started with me trying to write a pilot about
Speaker 1: magic and wanting to make it a noir, and now
Speaker 1: it has become that I only hang out with Scully
Speaker 1: and Molder and I don't read the news and I
Speaker 1: stopped posting on my Twitter and it's because I'm just
Speaker 1: hanging out with Scully and Moulder and we have a
Speaker 1: lot of things to do and read. Well. You see,
Speaker 1: when you have an obsession, you have to justify it,
Speaker 1: m okay yeah. And so it's research that I'm doing
Speaker 1: heavy research and it's valid and it requires me engaging
Speaker 1: with it in the mornings as well, because I have
Speaker 1: to read the pros and action lines and just like
Speaker 1: really up my game as a writer, and that's why
Speaker 1: it's all that I do. Wait, so there's is there?
Speaker 1: So there's something about X file scripts that kind of
Speaker 1: that you admire, that you you see they're like that
Speaker 1: you're just trying to add out there. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't keep saying that or else it happens and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find it. So do you think X files because
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about how even though we're not
Speaker 1: like Big Track eas here Star Treks model of the
Speaker 1: universe is like one that got me started on that
Speaker 1: go ahead, I at least subscribe to. I think we
Speaker 1: might be, you know, just we're being frozen out because
Speaker 1: we haven't hit a level yet. But there's there's definitely
Speaker 1: aliens who know about us and are just like I
Speaker 1: didn't weren't they like, oh yeah, and aliens are real
Speaker 1: keep going yeah exactly. So my theory because they're not
Speaker 1: trying to kill us as as far as we know,
Speaker 1: the only thing they could be doing is just like
Speaker 1: waiting for us to hit a certain level. I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like I said, we're there a reality TV. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: why they're like using us for entertainment actually makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. They're killing themselves. Aliens are watching like
Speaker 1: they're doing the thing where they burn the ship that
Speaker 1: makes the planet die, and you're doing more of it again, sir,
Speaker 1: it's not a step in now, sir, Please, sir. I
Speaker 1: know this is gonna be hilarious. They're gonna get They're
Speaker 1: just watching the sweat walking our dogs a little bit longer, Okay.
Speaker 1: As a person from a destabilized nation, now two of them,
Speaker 1: the United States and Iran. Yeah, there is this sensation
Speaker 1: that you feel in the thick of destabilization where you
Speaker 1: are begging for an alien abduction, right right, That experience
Speaker 1: is colonization, right, Oh god, that's colonization. Colonization is us
Speaker 1: begging for some other country with infrastructure to step in
Speaker 1: and face exactly. So I'm like meta fascinated by my
Speaker 1: own desperation. Yeah. Wow. Do you feel like that is
Speaker 1: the urge that has bringing you to the X Files
Speaker 1: or you like, are you just a fan of Molder
Speaker 1: and Scully and the will they won't they have at all?
Speaker 1: A little bit? Glad you asked. Let me begin with
Speaker 1: the three hour answer. My husband thinks that it is
Speaker 1: my relationship to narcissistic hot women. Mm hmm. That draws
Speaker 1: me into Molder's quest your husband also your therapist. That's
Speaker 1: sounds like deep analysis that this is a pandemic pandemic relationship, right,
Speaker 1: I feel like you gotta level up, folks, if you
Speaker 1: haven't already become therapists for each other and this, you
Speaker 1: gotta level up if you haven't said, I can see
Speaker 1: how that would echo things from your relationship with your
Speaker 1: father in the pandemic are y all together? I mean
Speaker 1: understand why that upset At this point, we just have
Speaker 1: a deck of cards called shadow Material Questions and the
Speaker 1: X What what's on the cards? What's on the cards?
Speaker 1: Just pictures of skittles, Yeah, and the like. This is
Speaker 1: this is stuff that takes you to a dark place
Speaker 1: as a couple. It takes us to a it takes
Speaker 1: us to a dark place, but then you come out
Speaker 1: of it even more ameshed and even more codependent. Oh
Speaker 1: that sounds fantastic, which is what we're all looking for.
Speaker 1: All right, favorite X Files episode just off off the
Speaker 1: writ Oh my god, it's got to be Bad Blood,
Speaker 1: the vampire spoof one with with the other Wilson brother.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I forgot it, Luke, Yes, damn, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough on Luke. To this day, he's probably been
Speaker 1: in more movies than that one, but he's always going
Speaker 1: to be the other Wilson brother. Okay, all right, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta check that one out. What is
Speaker 1: what is something you think is under rated? Okay? Maternity leave?
Speaker 1: M hm m hm. We are trying to have a
Speaker 1: little Zara specifically, Yeah, a couple of little Zas. It
Speaker 1: has been a journey. Last time I saw y'all, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that I had had two out of three miscarriages.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm sorry that I would then come
Speaker 1: to have thank you. Yeah, that's why I was depressed.
Speaker 1: I didn't know because it just I just had like
Speaker 1: the hormone dump and I I felt horrendous and I
Speaker 1: didn't know what was wrong with me. And I just
Speaker 1: thought I had like a regular periods and ship and
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what my problem is,
Speaker 1: and I was being so mean to myself. And then
Speaker 1: I find this out and I'm like yo, hm and uh.
Speaker 1: And so it's been this journey trying to figure it
Speaker 1: out because I also have thyroid disease and that complicates
Speaker 1: pregnancy and like my whole life. I thought forty year
Speaker 1: old me could handle everything, and I pushed everything into
Speaker 1: the future basket of forty year old Zara, But she'll
Speaker 1: deal with that. When I was in my thirties ambivalent
Speaker 1: about corporate job, forty year olds are has got this
Speaker 1: ambivalent about kids? Forty year olds are has got this
Speaker 1: ambivalent about moving to Like forty year olds are hast
Speaker 1: like right, like it gets easier and uh, most I
Speaker 1: realized most of my putting it off was because I
Speaker 1: never was in a job with real maternity leave. It
Speaker 1: I could like rely on to take care of myself,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like something we take for granted, right,
Speaker 1: And when I was coming on, I was like, what's
Speaker 1: my underrated gonna be? Like how am I going to
Speaker 1: frame this? You know? And I was like, everybody, just
Speaker 1: have kids as soon as you can. Don't wait figure
Speaker 1: it out later. Don't leave it to forty year old self. No,
Speaker 1: you're never gonna have more downtime than high school folks. Listen,
Speaker 1: summer just planet for a high school summer. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then I was like, no, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: In my thirties, I didn't have any kind of infrastructural
Speaker 1: support to make those choices. Yeah, I mean there's so yeah,
Speaker 1: there's so much of there are so many factors like
Speaker 1: that when most people like I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have kids, Like wait, I've actually been too poor
Speaker 1: to have a kid in a way that I think
Speaker 1: wouldn't make me feel super stressed out about, like sustaining
Speaker 1: another life form. Plus do you have you like given
Speaker 1: your energy to like an employer who was like, I
Speaker 1: will give you the humane things you need. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like balancing act of all those things, right, And
Speaker 1: I think we have to know that we're not entitled
Speaker 1: to any kind of alien ship abduction hero rescue. We
Speaker 1: gotta do that mothership rescue at our jobs, gotta mothership
Speaker 1: rescue ourselves. We gotta like we have to turn the place,
Speaker 1: the spaces that were in, we have to turn them around.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, well, I mean yeah, that's why it's it's
Speaker 1: always amazing to see again when people always the ignorant Americans,
Speaker 1: like we're the number one. You're like not like we're
Speaker 1: pretty much at the back of the line for everything,
Speaker 1: And like when you look at parental leave, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I think, oh that makes sense. We
Speaker 1: live in like the grossest place, but we just have
Speaker 1: the cheapest consumer goods. Oh my god. Some of my
Speaker 1: family moved to London m because they can do that.
Speaker 1: They were like, we're out of here and there mixed race,
Speaker 1: black and Persian, Blursian, and like half of it was
Speaker 1: to settle the question of like private school, public school,
Speaker 1: charter school. Because they wanted the arts for their daughters.
Speaker 1: They moved to London and it's all included, right, it's
Speaker 1: all included. Like their expenses, their monthly expenses in the
Speaker 1: Bay Area were like four thousand dollars for rent, five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars tuition. Yeah, yeah, so how can we and
Speaker 1: then and then battle racism on top of that, like
Speaker 1: come on the flat screen TV. Flat screen TVs are
Speaker 1: very viable flat screen but also everywhere, Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: get that everywhere. It's just like when compared previous generations,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that is better is consumer electric.
Speaker 1: Someone tweeted something. It's like, if I forget who it was,
Speaker 1: I just said laughed. But they're like it's they're they're like,
Speaker 1: it's wild to me that you can buy a flat
Speaker 1: screen TV for three dollars, but for the same amount
Speaker 1: of money you will get the shittiest dresser or table.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, And it's like that's so true, like
Speaker 1: the level of craftsmanship, especially with like furniture, because like
Speaker 1: we're us so much like you know, like uh, fiber
Speaker 1: board and like not real solid wood and ship like
Speaker 1: that just to like have cheap, quick furniture. Uh yeah, different, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta buy from previous generations. Oh yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm like. Yeah, when you look at like vintage furniture, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not because I like the looks like, look, this
Speaker 1: ship will fucking go forever. Right. Also, I have to say,
Speaker 1: that's what I call my husband furniture furniture. There it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was noticing behind you and then we're on zoom,
Speaker 1: but behind you like you are using your husband and
Speaker 1: does a code rack? Is that? Is that? Is he
Speaker 1: just standing completely still? Is that? Oh? My goodness, calmed down?
Speaker 1: Just his skin? Okay, got it? What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Overrated? Ah? My brain just went blank.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love that overrated? Over overrated? Is
Speaker 1: uh sunshine? I don't need this much of it? And
Speaker 1: I wonder if God knows that. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: what's it like you sunshine in the sense of just daylight,
Speaker 1: of actual contact with your skin outside? What what's what's
Speaker 1: your beef list of the sunlight? These days, when I
Speaker 1: walk outside and the sun lands on my face with
Speaker 1: a smack, you just get punched in the face by
Speaker 1: a sunny day. I own. I don't burn that easily.
Speaker 1: I know my snaps filter lightens me up because racism.
Speaker 1: But when the sun hits down upon my cheek with
Speaker 1: a rough smack, it burns. Oh yeah, and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for this new era where brown folks
Speaker 1: are getting sun burned by this ship, right, this is yeah,
Speaker 1: this is some like Ozone free direct for real. I
Speaker 1: remember that should I thought in the nineties as a kid,
Speaker 1: because like all the white kids put on sunscreen, and
Speaker 1: I'm right, I remember my dad was like, don't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm like why, He's like, because they ain't got melanine.
Speaker 1: And I remember being like an annoying as kind of
Speaker 1: like y'all burning, And then the science was like no,
Speaker 1: uv raised funk up everybody skin, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: was hoping that was like the one thing I'd be
Speaker 1: like that's karma for fucking slavery burn. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't turn out. Sunny Weather has like some of
Speaker 1: the strongest propaganda too, Like there's so many songs that
Speaker 1: are like comparing d to a sunny day or sunshine
Speaker 1: on my shoulder and makes me happy, And I got
Speaker 1: sunshine on a cloudy day. Like I think we need
Speaker 1: to start altering the general aesthetic of like how we
Speaker 1: feel about the sun versus I think we all need
Speaker 1: a little more Drew Barrymore in our life, Like we
Speaker 1: need to respect the rainy days a little bit more
Speaker 1: and just get out there, put our face to the
Speaker 1: sky and start weeping with joy the way that Drew
Speaker 1: Barrymore did. And we need that Stone Temple Pilots black
Speaker 1: Hole sun. Yeah, like that's more accurate. Believe that Sound Garden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said Stone Temple Pilots, didn't I get your yarler straight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what you know. I'm sorry, but disposed. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Their voices are pretty different. No one nose. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that album fuck me up. Those faces man, yeah, because
Speaker 1: their eyes like fully black and then like melted and
Speaker 1: I'm like, my god, that's what that's usually what I
Speaker 1: take When I'm like going to get a haircut or something,
Speaker 1: I bring a picture of those whole sun people and
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, book, didn't they have like jagged teeth
Speaker 1: and ship Yeah? And like their eyes weren't their eyes
Speaker 1: like real sharky, Like real Sharky had that permanent smile.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. It was like there's like when that like
Speaker 1: early computer like um like image distortion software came out.
Speaker 1: Like there was like a program called like morph from
Speaker 1: the early nineties where it's like take a picture and
Speaker 1: like make a guy's I big And that was sort
Speaker 1: of like what this was like big mouths, big eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that looks way worse than I remembered it looking.
Speaker 1: It's like, how did they achieve that back then? Nightmare Fuel? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a new uh movie coming out where it's like
Speaker 1: the Smile or something like that, and it's just a
Speaker 1: bunch of people with that face. They like a sickness
Speaker 1: an illness spreads where everybody gets a big smile on
Speaker 1: their face looks terrifying. Whoa, that's Twilight Zony. It's called
Speaker 1: getting one too many texts from Nancy Pelosi God because
Speaker 1: you get that same picture of her she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's Nancy. You're like, I like, how my phone now,
Speaker 1: because like she's using all kinds of burner numbers that
Speaker 1: my phone is like, I think suggested contact Nancy for
Speaker 1: this number. I'm like, no, phone, Like, funk off out
Speaker 1: of here. I don't know they're trying to steal money
Speaker 1: from me. We're all Nancy Pelosi fans in here, right,
Speaker 1: this is the Nancy Pelosi loyalist closed were stands over here.
Speaker 1: If we just got behind Nancy, then we would be fine.
Speaker 1: Just vote harder and give her more of your money dollars.
Speaker 1: You know you're over here. Your wish, your thing is
Speaker 1: like you want an alien to take you away. I
Speaker 1: want a text with Nancy face saying I have never
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. I need money, man, Like it's like,
Speaker 1: how money man? What's the vibe of every text is?
Speaker 1: And it completely betrays the urgency that we're actually facing
Speaker 1: in this country when you get hit up like Democrats
Speaker 1: need to win Arizona now and you're too fucking broke
Speaker 1: to fucking throw down on democracy, fam, So why don't
Speaker 1: you piss off out of here? Anyway? Stop tech, stop
Speaker 1: to end. Why does your Nancy Pelosi sounds a lot
Speaker 1: like my dad. It's because I feel like they if
Speaker 1: you look at them on a continuum, they're just like
Speaker 1: the Trump ones, like they're they're like a gro they're
Speaker 1: really trying to be I'm in uh, I'm in a
Speaker 1: chat with a couple of centrists. Oh no, how you
Speaker 1: live as a centrist right now? Right now, I don't
Speaker 1: even know who's a very centrist and blends a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff on Bernie brows and stuff. Yes, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's like constant victim blaming for one. Yes, like people
Speaker 1: of color are crying so much. Yeah, Centrism is Yeah,
Speaker 1: Centrism is a toxic luxury that too many people. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you know what I mean. They're constantly like,
Speaker 1: what can we be more like the Republicans, you know,
Speaker 1: a fascist front? Like And that's from my perspective as
Speaker 1: someone who has nothing on the line, right, Like, that's
Speaker 1: why ful like you're you reveal yourself because you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm My worldview is none of this is gonna
Speaker 1: affect me, so I don't really care. But like y'all
Speaker 1: are being too loud on that side. That's just hilarious
Speaker 1: about it, too, is in the small ways that it
Speaker 1: is affecting them. They still don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: It's like somebody getting stung by bees and just being like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Probably maybe the answers inside this hive
Speaker 1: shaped thing. Let me step inside. What if we got
Speaker 1: bigger bees to fight the bees? We don't like it,
Speaker 1: but then there's just more bees, man, m M, I
Speaker 1: don't know worth trying, worth trying, I get it, And
Speaker 1: like the person I'm talking about, like their rights are
Speaker 1: definitely on the line in a way that you know,
Speaker 1: it is even more real for them than it is
Speaker 1: for me, and so like it's hard to argue with
Speaker 1: them being like, well, it's you know, impractical, and like
Speaker 1: we just we do need to win these two Senate seats.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you type ship, but
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, man, it's it's not working.
Speaker 1: We we have of we have the horses. That's not
Speaker 1: it's not running there over five seventy two bills or
Speaker 1: whatever you want however you want to count it. Like yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: all that to say, uh shouts to Nancy, I guess
Speaker 1: I will add her contact. Anyways, let's get off all
Speaker 1: those bad, gloomy news and get to uh, some happy
Speaker 1: news about some sunny weather in Europe. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back and there's a European heat wave.
Speaker 1: If if we were an actual Morning Zoo show instead
Speaker 1: of a parody of when we would be playing that
Speaker 1: heat wave song or something like that. But we we
Speaker 1: much energy for Kyle Mooney when he was at the
Speaker 1: Miami Heats victory parade video they he put onto YouTube
Speaker 1: years ago and he's like go he go he anyway,
Speaker 1: so that would be the sound drop for that. But
Speaker 1: it's wild because there's this there's a couple there's this
Speaker 1: image on Twitter that was going around and a few
Speaker 1: that were showing that like so there's like a French
Speaker 1: meteorologist on the news who was like, yo, but the
Speaker 1: climate change models were looking at like we're we're looking
Speaker 1: at undeniably like a hotter future without you know, as
Speaker 1: as things stand by doing funk all and showed this
Speaker 1: hypothetical weather forecast from from you know, for August of
Speaker 1: where it showed, you know, temperature is going up to
Speaker 1: like a hundreds and seven degrees and like well into
Speaker 1: the triple digits in the south of France. And people
Speaker 1: were like, oh, sure, okay, I mean, but that's not
Speaker 1: now though. In the UK there's a similar thing on
Speaker 1: the news as well, where they showed the effects of
Speaker 1: global warming and what it would do to the country
Speaker 1: in this hypothetical year of the and many people have
Speaker 1: noticed by putting side by side the map they were
Speaker 1: using to be like, hey, we gotta get our ship together.
Speaker 1: It it very closely matches exactly what this like hypothetical
Speaker 1: map was like what they're the temperatures that are being
Speaker 1: experienced right now in Europe. So a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, that's interesting. I mean, granted, heat waves
Speaker 1: have been coming, but some of it is like right on,
Speaker 1: like dead on. They have like London at forty and
Speaker 1: the hypothetical map and is actual forecast from this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean I think it's pretty it's pretty alarming
Speaker 1: no matter how you look at it. But I also
Speaker 1: just want to point out I honestly think hypothetical weather
Speaker 1: forecasts are pretty effective, because I've never like when I
Speaker 1: saw that, I was like, that's a probably a very
Speaker 1: easy way to conceptualize. This is how fucking difficult your
Speaker 1: life's gonna be like through visa v weather because it's
Speaker 1: something we checked pretty regularly. They just did that nature
Speaker 1: documentary Prehistoric Earth or whatever, where they like put millions
Speaker 1: and millions probably like hundreds of millions of dollars into
Speaker 1: creating basically a David Edinburgh nature documentary that was Imagine
Speaker 1: the world when dinosaurs walked the Earth, and it's very
Speaker 1: dope and like when you watch it, you're like, man,
Speaker 1: they used a lot of very gifted people's talents to
Speaker 1: put this together. This is a good idea that you
Speaker 1: just came up with, Miles like they need to be
Speaker 1: creating like no, I mean, like even a more vivid
Speaker 1: want like give us a twenty four hour news channel
Speaker 1: that is ten years in the future and just showing
Speaker 1: us what the funk is happening as a result of
Speaker 1: all of the horrible decisions that we're making right now.
Speaker 1: Because it's it's not getting through. It's not folks. We
Speaker 1: need to connect to those calls of action, We need
Speaker 1: to connect to those realizations, real infrastructure. It can't just
Speaker 1: be that. Because like this is my fear with the
Speaker 1: way that social media algorithms work now in their echo chambering.
Speaker 1: I've been echo chambered on my social media. Ever since
Speaker 1: last year when I started posting about Israel and Palestine. Oh,
Speaker 1: like you have you here five thousand followers. Each time
Speaker 1: I post about Palestine, it drops to eleven eleven views,
Speaker 1: and it stays that way until I show a lot
Speaker 1: of puppy pictures or like misspell the word like p
Speaker 1: A L A C E S T E I N.
Speaker 1: But now they go by the images too, they're reading
Speaker 1: the images. It's not just yeah, so it's it's aggressive
Speaker 1: echo chambering. So like sometimes I wonder what these like
Speaker 1: amazing studies that come out, amazing articles that come out,
Speaker 1: amazing things that people say and realizations that folks are having,
Speaker 1: how fast it dissipates on social media. They irrigated away
Speaker 1: and make it harder to follow through on action. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: I mean that, Yeah, that that that tracks and you
Speaker 1: can certainly you know see how like algorithms are definitely
Speaker 1: like siloing certain kinds of content. Oh my god, the
Speaker 1: word racism is censored on Instagram, right, They just they
Speaker 1: have it focused only on people who have who like
Speaker 1: respond positively to that word, and most people it just
Speaker 1: gives you the whatever, whoever gets a dopamine hit from
Speaker 1: your thing like that's who it's going to, which is again,
Speaker 1: I'm sure another interesting twist for the aliens who are
Speaker 1: watching the reality shows and they're like, dude, they created
Speaker 1: fucking weird computer programs that make them dumber and keep
Speaker 1: them away from the solutions that will help them. It's
Speaker 1: this show is wild on her. It's just out of control.
Speaker 1: It's just the like very basic logical like endpoint of
Speaker 1: hyper capitalism is just like everything becomes marketing and we're
Speaker 1: all carrying around little marketing devices that are you know,
Speaker 1: inches away from our faces that take away our free
Speaker 1: will like that's and replace it with you know, whatever
Speaker 1: is going to drive the most consumption. There's some alien
Speaker 1: chick on a spaceship somewhere with amphibian hands. It's like Earth,
Speaker 1: this my vanity watch. But yeah, I mean, like just
Speaker 1: to get back into like this that what is actually
Speaker 1: happening right in Europe, like there have been many first
Speaker 1: just from this current heat wave, like the UK's their
Speaker 1: their meteorological service had to issue like a red warning
Speaker 1: for heat, like a heat advisory for the very first
Speaker 1: time ever. France shattered over one different heat records. In Spain,
Speaker 1: they're estimating like a potentially up to five people are
Speaker 1: more have died as a result of the extreme heat.
Speaker 1: And we've you've probably seen pictures of like wildfires that
Speaker 1: have broken out in Portugal, Spain, France, or like people
Speaker 1: in a train who are like stuck because like ships
Speaker 1: on fire around them. It's really it's really disconcerting. Ship
Speaker 1: We've we've talked before on this show about how like
Speaker 1: even in the United States when there's a lot of
Speaker 1: heat deaths and there's a lot more heat deaths now
Speaker 1: than there ever have been and it's only increasing, they
Speaker 1: don't get media coverage like the way that other natural
Speaker 1: disasters do, and this one is because it's like out
Speaker 1: of the ordinary, but it is also very invisible, like
Speaker 1: nobodies are floating down the street, you know, it's like
Speaker 1: happening behind closed doors, usually to the sorts of people
Speaker 1: that don't get a lot of media attention naturally. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw the same thing, like India and
Speaker 1: Pakistan had a terrible heat wave in May, and it
Speaker 1: was like a couple of inches of newspaper articles written
Speaker 1: about it. But I think because most people, people are
Speaker 1: so fucking like in this feel like they can't break
Speaker 1: this inertia of fear around like climate anxiety to that.
Speaker 1: Like there, I feel it's also contributing to a lot
Speaker 1: of places, like even myself. I'm like, when I see
Speaker 1: you start seeing grim shit about them, please, like I know,
Speaker 1: I fucking know, but there's just other ship happening right
Speaker 1: now that feels so fucked up, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a really terrible place for many people to be
Speaker 1: in as well. See. This is what I mean by
Speaker 1: these echo chambers is like I follow climate disaster very
Speaker 1: closely because I'm an enormous fan of secular catastrophe r right.
Speaker 1: It brings me a sun smack smile. It's metal, man,
Speaker 1: There's nothing more metal than a secular catastrac see. But
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have known actually like that there is a
Speaker 1: problem with people knowing more information about it because it's
Speaker 1: flooded in my feed right. But like you know, there's
Speaker 1: also like you look at the infrastructure though, like there
Speaker 1: the problem is so multilayered, right because like they're even
Speaker 1: like the jet streams are changing above Europe, like the
Speaker 1: flow of like the oceans and things like that, how
Speaker 1: is also changing, like where the hotspots are peering in
Speaker 1: Europe on top of like the pollution that's driving a
Speaker 1: lot of it, as well of the one huge thing
Speaker 1: I didn't realize like five percent at most, like around
Speaker 1: less than five percent of European homes have air conditioning,
Speaker 1: that is why. And that makes me believe that they
Speaker 1: are going to get this fixed faster than the rest
Speaker 1: than the United States, because holy sh it, and that's
Speaker 1: going to cause very uncomfortable. That's gonna cause more problems,
Speaker 1: right if they if everybody starts, yeah, doubling down on
Speaker 1: the grid for a C. That's like the same thing
Speaker 1: was mentioned in Texas recently. They're like they're having grid problems.
Speaker 1: But the thing is more heat requires more power generation
Speaker 1: to keep the A C s on, which means more
Speaker 1: you know, coal fired ship going up. It's they're like,
Speaker 1: what about that feedback loop to like and then there's
Speaker 1: a whole other efficiency around, like insulation too, because many
Speaker 1: homes like are are designed to like retain heat in
Speaker 1: the winter than to stay cool, Like you know, that's
Speaker 1: why like houses in l A barely have any insulation
Speaker 1: in them. You know, they're like and that's why they
Speaker 1: get fucking ice in the winter. Man, the coldest winter
Speaker 1: ever I have was the first winter that I moved
Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles and lived in Santa Monica and
Speaker 1: like just packed my beach ship, you know. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get and then like I didn't know
Speaker 1: how to light the fucking pilot lighter for the heater
Speaker 1: in my in my house, and we froze. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: eventually figured out, but I mean it was it was
Speaker 1: a cold couple of months, right, and the to the
Speaker 1: energy generation point like in France, right, they had to
Speaker 1: dial back nuclear energy output because at one of the
Speaker 1: plants that they used to generate energy, the rivers that
Speaker 1: they used to like cool the reactors, the water temperature
Speaker 1: of the rivers had gone too high because of the heat.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't even there, Like we can't responsibly even
Speaker 1: cool our reactors with this water, like because the waters
Speaker 1: the rivers looking too hot. No go ahead. Finished though,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like that's that's the kind of like
Speaker 1: breath to freaks around, like the rivers are fucking too hot.
Speaker 1: That took the breath out of me. Like the fact
Speaker 1: that there could be a situation where the water is
Speaker 1: too warm for nuclear reactors to cool down. That sounds
Speaker 1: like a problem folks. Yeah, you gotta put it in
Speaker 1: the refrigerator to cool the nuclear reactors, which creates more heat, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: put some ice packs in it, like where the ice packs? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know the end the other issues too, Like
Speaker 1: in like California, places like Arizona in the US, people know,
Speaker 1: like being in high temperatures is just like a thing
Speaker 1: that they're used to, like we're used to write, and
Speaker 1: you're also kind of taught or made to be more
Speaker 1: aware of, like like you actually need to be safe
Speaker 1: when it's really hot outside. In places like in these
Speaker 1: other places in Europe where they're not used to these
Speaker 1: kinds of temperatures, they're also less likely to have this
Speaker 1: like general knowledge to obviously the denicipalities and the government.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you need to know this ship. But
Speaker 1: a lot of these things end up compounding on each
Speaker 1: other to make the effects of like these heat waves
Speaker 1: even worse. And you know, like heat stress especially, it's
Speaker 1: like the big thing that is really not talked about
Speaker 1: as much as like the effects that heat have because
Speaker 1: at night it's too hot, you're not sleeping well, your
Speaker 1: your sleep gets all fucked up. That has tremendous health
Speaker 1: effects as well, so it's a very complex issue, but
Speaker 1: one at the end, I think a lot of scientists
Speaker 1: are like, we're really thinking of, like if what our
Speaker 1: models are because we couldn't they you know, they failed
Speaker 1: to predict that huge like heat blob that was above
Speaker 1: the northwest last summer, and a lot of I think
Speaker 1: climate scientists are like worried that, Like, I mean, we
Speaker 1: know we have modeling, but like when ship like this
Speaker 1: is happening to that's also added concern. Yank, that's um,
Speaker 1: there was a X Files episode We're Scully saved a
Speaker 1: bad guy by telling him what to do when he
Speaker 1: was hot, just because people don't know because that's real
Speaker 1: and it happened in the X Files. Okay, and see
Speaker 1: and that's why everything comes full circle. Yeah, So, like
Speaker 1: the two ways of dealing with this, like the what
Speaker 1: we just mentioned about five of houses only five percent
Speaker 1: having a C Like you could either you know, stop
Speaker 1: climate change, or or you can like like they're ten
Speaker 1: years from now of the houses will have air conditioning,
Speaker 1: at which point they're dumping you know, gases via you know,
Speaker 1: electricity generation. There's also the forest fires thing where it's
Speaker 1: forest fires dump so much you know it used to
Speaker 1: be a manageable amount, and now just so much carbon
Speaker 1: dioxide into the atmosphere. And it's only it's like these
Speaker 1: you know, feedback loops are are just you know, speeding
Speaker 1: up and getting bigger. And do you hear the good news?
Speaker 1: Taste the rainbow, you can lick skittles, eat poison and die. No, no,
Speaker 1: real good news about the little carbon bits that capture
Speaker 1: carbon in the atmosphere and you can bury them in
Speaker 1: the ground. See, this is what happens, folks, when you
Speaker 1: don't follow climate news. You don't get the good new
Speaker 1: about the rivers being too hot to cool the nuclear reactors.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to do about that. That's gonna kill us.
Speaker 1: But for those that doesn't kill, there are that scientists
Speaker 1: have found um from following the patterns of certain kind
Speaker 1: of cockroach. They found a way to capture carbon in
Speaker 1: the air, excess carbon in the air in little pieces
Speaker 1: of bark that then hold like a certain number of
Speaker 1: grams of carbon that is like phenomenal, and they're able
Speaker 1: to bury it in the ground so it doesn't heat
Speaker 1: up the atmosphere. It buried in the ground and it
Speaker 1: grabs the carbon out of the air. Yes, what the
Speaker 1: he like like not sorry, not buried. Buried in the
Speaker 1: ground is sort of like on the surface. Yeah, it pulls,
Speaker 1: it pulls in carbon from the atmosphere. They we're fucking saved.
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about this? Sorry, listeners, I don't
Speaker 1: mean to freak you out. Climate we got bark bits
Speaker 1: that are gonna save us. Spoilers were climate alarmism, which
Speaker 1: is wild because there was a there was someone on
Speaker 1: Twitter did a side by side of a clip from
Speaker 1: Don't Look Up and like It's seen where they're like, uh,
Speaker 1: very terrible things are going to happen to our planet,
Speaker 1: and then did it a side by side with like
Speaker 1: gb N, which is like like the UK is like
Speaker 1: shitty version of Fox, where like a person was saying like,
Speaker 1: you know, they had a media brologist on saying like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's nice now, but next week it could
Speaker 1: be absolutely terrible, and like one of the anchors like,
Speaker 1: but you know, isn't that just alarmism? And you know,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people talk about like it gets
Speaker 1: hot sometimes and this guy was like no, not like
Speaker 1: this at all ever, and they're like okay, but like
Speaker 1: it was a wild how uncomfortable the anchor was hearing
Speaker 1: this person be like it's going like it's it might
Speaker 1: be twenty degrees celsius today, next week you get to forty,
Speaker 1: that's a fucking problem. And like so forties like a hundred,
Speaker 1: right or basically the yeah it's I mean, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's well over a hundred. I think it's like one
Speaker 1: oh four or five or something like that, right, thirty
Speaker 1: two is a hundred now or something? I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what I'm just saying this is the one area
Speaker 1: where I think we're better thirty seven point seven. I
Speaker 1: mean it hit in Arizona, right, didn't it somewhere in
Speaker 1: Arizona and in California didn't hit like one sixty or
Speaker 1: something outrageous. I don't think it's ever hit one sixty,
Speaker 1: but like Mumbai was one forty. Death Valley, I think
Speaker 1: Death Valley has the highest or had the record for
Speaker 1: a long time. Anyway, is four what was it damn
Speaker 1: degrees fahnheit or fifty seven degrees celsius for the International
Speaker 1: Gang And you know what, I guess when that was
Speaker 1: nineteen guess what that next round is gonna be Where
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, y'all forgot about me. Huh that was
Speaker 1: in and I've been in the lab. Damn. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's warm. It's also like that the you you ended
Speaker 1: this right up by being like, maybe our mildest summers
Speaker 1: are behind us. Summers was when I was a kid
Speaker 1: man like like, I don't look back and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: those were some mild summers. I remember just dragging a
Speaker 1: gateboard down the street like just so like just just
Speaker 1: demolished by the heat that I couldn't couldn't even like
Speaker 1: ride it. I saw you. Yeah, I was just like
Speaker 1: just dead. But I feel like, no that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's been like the prevailing sentiment the last few, like
Speaker 1: the last year, So I read that pretty consistently where
Speaker 1: they're like, just so you know, like what you're experiencing now,
Speaker 1: maybe the last time you experienced it like this, like
Speaker 1: conceptualize that, And that's always stuck with me when they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you think it's hot now, but you might be thinking
Speaker 1: back and be like, man, I wish it was the summer.
Speaker 1: Oh God, let's take a quick break and then we'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about how skittles are poison and
Speaker 1: we're back, and uh, you're back with Miles and the
Speaker 1: and the Dog. Uh, so skittles are poison? Maybe a
Speaker 1: California man is suing Mars, the candy company, not the planet,
Speaker 1: over skittles, claiming that it is unfit for human consumption
Speaker 1: because of a material called titanium dioxide, which is an
Speaker 1: inert and also insoluble material typically used as a whitener.
Speaker 1: You may know its work from sunscreen and ranch dressing.
Speaker 1: So we ranch, Yeah, we don't know what color ranch
Speaker 1: would be without this ship in it. Ranch might just
Speaker 1: be like, you know, p green or something black. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's like the flowy ship from Severance that
Speaker 1: you know, what's his name? Keeps seeing. I can't believe
Speaker 1: I don't actually know my ranch. Yeah, so it isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily harmful to people, but there has been some added
Speaker 1: concern over the past several years that while it is
Speaker 1: approved by the f d A and micro amounts, now
Speaker 1: food contains nano sized versions of it, because there are
Speaker 1: other examples of nanoparticles doing more harm to the body
Speaker 1: because they simply act differently than larger particles. There smaller
Speaker 1: than micro particles. So what we don't know exactly is
Speaker 1: how the difference in size of the titanium dioxide particles
Speaker 1: could affect people's bodies because it hasn't been tested as much,
Speaker 1: which in a country where you know, people's blood type
Speaker 1: is ranch right well, and also in a country where
Speaker 1: like corporations aren't you know, business bureaus didn't run the
Speaker 1: entirety of like how things operate. They might do the
Speaker 1: tests before. They might have like waited to see how
Speaker 1: operates on us before they put it into food that
Speaker 1: is in every store around the country. But no, they
Speaker 1: they have just gone ahead and been like, well, so far,
Speaker 1: no one's had is exploded. There's been some studies, but
Speaker 1: even they seem to conflict one another. So there's uncertainty,
Speaker 1: but just a couple leading indicators here. First of all,
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts have removed titanium dioxide from their products, so
Speaker 1: no Duncan Why I feel like no one wants to
Speaker 1: make decisions that are less healthy than the brain trust
Speaker 1: of Duncan Donuts. That that feels, yeah, I mean those
Speaker 1: cool lottas on my body for sure. By the way,
Speaker 1: this was the Duncan decision was in response to pressure
Speaker 1: from the advocacy group as you sew, and there's other
Speaker 1: work from advocacy groups, like consumer advocacy groups that I
Speaker 1: just feel like I have not seen in the mainstream
Speaker 1: media or in any sort of like mainstream pop culture
Speaker 1: a cool person who like works for an advocacy group,
Speaker 1: you know, and like a movie where like an advocacy
Speaker 1: group's work is like taken seriously and you know that's
Speaker 1: the These are the bad guys from movies. They're like
Speaker 1: the you know, the people who get made fun of
Speaker 1: them PCU or something. But they are actually out here
Speaker 1: doing work to protect you from having nanoparticles like at
Speaker 1: the end points of your toe nails or whatever wherever.
Speaker 1: The Also, they're ending up one more instance of whiteness
Speaker 1: destroying the world. Yeah, literally, just straight up, come on,
Speaker 1: we make it more white. The food whitener killed half
Speaker 1: the people, right. So this is especially interesting in the
Speaker 1: case of Skittles because Mars announced Mars again, the food company,
Speaker 1: not the planet, announced in sixteen that they we're going
Speaker 1: to remove their artificial coloring, including titanium dioxide from their
Speaker 1: human food products, which by that they mean not their
Speaker 1: pet food products. It's not like a soylink green situation,
Speaker 1: but they set a goal for five years in the future.
Speaker 1: So so you may notice that we have passed that year.
Speaker 1: They failed to make that deadline, and the other food
Speaker 1: dies that they have failed to remove do have observable
Speaker 1: connections to major problems. Doctors have one that some guys
Speaker 1: have clear links to behavioral problems and children, which the
Speaker 1: FDA has disputed. But I just more and more I
Speaker 1: start to think that, like the f d A is
Speaker 1: basically a business, like a corporate advocacy group. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: feel like the CDC was like the last one to
Speaker 1: go down where they're like, yeah, I mean we know better,
Speaker 1: but there's man, the people that are running this thing
Speaker 1: are tone us to do it another way. Uh so,
Speaker 1: so I mean, how could you how could you think
Speaker 1: anything else when you look at that So well, Mars
Speaker 1: decided to not meet their own goal in the United States.
Speaker 1: They did remove the chemicals from their European products, where
Speaker 1: the laws are far stricter, so that I feel like
Speaker 1: should tell you everything you need to know that you
Speaker 1: requires labels warning consumers that some guys may have an
Speaker 1: adverse effect on activity and attention in children. And so Jack,
Speaker 1: we don't really give them for banning Mountain do What's
Speaker 1: that I said? We don't forgive them for banning mountain
Speaker 1: do what. I shouldn't drink mountain dew. It's fun. What
Speaker 1: happened to you? Jack? What is going on? It's self
Speaker 1: destructive behavior? Oh my god, you said it was vitamins
Speaker 1: the other day. To that, I've never once said that
Speaker 1: it is good for me, it has elector like I
Speaker 1: like that you're really clarifying that, like of course you.
Speaker 1: I never just like to say, um, sorry, hold on,
Speaker 1: my attorney is speaking to you. So I've never once
Speaker 1: actually said that mountain dew is vitamins or that it
Speaker 1: gives you superpowers. And if you find audio of me
Speaker 1: saying that it's probably manipulated by super producer Justin, he's
Speaker 1: always trying to put word in my mouth. Wow, wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why just In this it's I think that's when
Speaker 1: usually when I'm like, oh that you won't let him
Speaker 1: have it, I'm like, okay, we just need yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm like there over the counter cold medicine hits harder
Speaker 1: over there, and they're also like, look, bro, we get
Speaker 1: it some ship. We don't need all the pharmaceutical companies
Speaker 1: to control most of it. Though. You can have this
Speaker 1: more strong cold medicine, but you're not getting that yellow
Speaker 1: Five the use aversion to cold beverages. I'm not following
Speaker 1: them on it, but I am aware of their thoughts
Speaker 1: on cold beverages that they think it like makes you sick,
Speaker 1: and I'm also aware of it. They're probably right about
Speaker 1: but about I did like revenue streams too, because like
Speaker 1: you go to a market in like Europe, they'll be like, yo,
Speaker 1: you want the cold one. That's like, that's like a
Speaker 1: couple more if you want the cold one. Otherwise you
Speaker 1: can get it in the hot as back of the
Speaker 1: store cheaper and also we u use less energy. But
Speaker 1: that's why they have to hold onto it, because they
Speaker 1: have to save those bottles of cold mountain dew for
Speaker 1: when the river's get hot. That's right, exactly for when
Speaker 1: the nuclear towers neat cooling. I think that was actually
Speaker 1: what mountain dew was originally designed for, was to cool
Speaker 1: nuclear towers. Actually what came out to the other side
Speaker 1: of their actor. It's colder, that's why it's so yellow.
Speaker 1: And it has traveled to the upside down and come
Speaker 1: out the other side and tastes great, is bright green. Somehow,
Speaker 1: it's colder your skin is yellow on us, just the
Speaker 1: jaundice from a bunch of other terrible life decisions. I
Speaker 1: made it, and don't blame the for my yellow complexion.
Speaker 1: Skittles are banned in Sweden and Norway, like straight up,
Speaker 1: they didn't even like they weren't even appeased by them
Speaker 1: taking these. They're like, oh, you wanted to pay for
Speaker 1: your motherfucking healthcare and let you eat skittles. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: you have one or the other. If you want to
Speaker 1: poison yourself, go to the US or they don't give
Speaker 1: a funk about you. And Europe just banned titanium dioxide
Speaker 1: from food products last month, so it just seems like
Speaker 1: we might want to keep an eye on titanium dioxide.
Speaker 1: So you're saying eat less skittles. I might be saying that,
Speaker 1: I don't know on the record. Can we get that
Speaker 1: on the record. No, you may, you know, you may not.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play five to quote to quote Michael Flynn.
Speaker 1: So it's oh, so they say things that contain the
Speaker 1: most titanium dioxide are usually heavily processed items in the
Speaker 1: categories of candies and sweets, cake decorations, chewing gum, chocolate,
Speaker 1: milk products like not chocolate chocolate milk products, pastries, salad dressings,
Speaker 1: and sauces. Damn, Okay, so I'm gonna make my own
Speaker 1: sauces now. Is that how they get white chocolate? It's
Speaker 1: not pure titanium dioxide. You're eating titanium dioxide. Do you
Speaker 1: know how many times I just lick sunscreen? Folks? This
Speaker 1: is a problem. All right, I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: little piece of good news at the end. The lawsuit
Speaker 1: notes of other candy brands, including Sara Patch Kids, Swedish Fish,
Speaker 1: and Nerds, are vibrantly colored like Skittles, yet don't rely
Speaker 1: on titanium dioe Nerds, Nerds Nerds. I knew I with
Speaker 1: nerds and nerd ropes, which are held together with pure
Speaker 1: titanium dix. I don't know that to be true. If
Speaker 1: you look at like the chemical diagram of titanium dioxide,
Speaker 1: it's a nerds rope. Skittles do feel like when I
Speaker 1: when I compare Sarah Patch Kids and Nerds two skittles
Speaker 1: like nerds, you put them in your mouth and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is just dissolving, like it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of sugar that was just called together. Yeah, it's just
