Speaker 1: all right, Brian, 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. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the baby formula shortage, which is real.
Speaker 1: It's not like the eggnog shortage or the Christmas tree
Speaker 1: shortage or the other you know, Fox News Local News
Speaker 1: created shortage. Is it's a it's a real shortage, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in relation to America being the
Speaker 1: worst rich country to give birth in and why it's
Speaker 1: about to become even worse. So we're starting things off
Speaker 1: in a fun place. We're also gonna talk about where
Speaker 1: where Biden's at heading into the midterms, what his battle
Speaker 1: plan is. We're gonna talk about the perfect arrival time
Speaker 1: for an event that the Atlantic has a like a
Speaker 1: rival time generator that I have found a couple of
Speaker 1: flaws with. I'm just gonna say, at the at the moment,
Speaker 1: they need to tune it up a little bit like Miles' vision.
Speaker 1: It could it could be, you know, it's not quite
Speaker 1: there yet. All of that plenty more. But first, Brian,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? All Right, So I was searching Orville
Speaker 1: pet Spades. Okay, Now that is a that's a country
Speaker 1: singer who wears a mask. Right. That's That's as far
Speaker 1: as I've gotten. Um never hear I don't think I've
Speaker 1: ever heard in Orville peck song. Um I recognized the mask.
Speaker 1: Somebody was giving away a ticket to a show for free,
Speaker 1: I think. On That's why I was like, can I go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't go, whoa oh this Okay, I didn't even
Speaker 1: know this is a vibe. It's a it's a whole
Speaker 1: lass five miles. You didn't even know it was a
Speaker 1: single vibe. Yeah, it's like Orville almost like see in
Speaker 1: a way, what if it is? Are there any do
Speaker 1: people have feories about this? Like who the real Orville
Speaker 1: Peck is? Or is it? Probably? This is probably just
Speaker 1: an artist who's deciding to do this to get some
Speaker 1: droump up some interest. I saw one picture and it
Speaker 1: looked just like a guy. But you know who's going
Speaker 1: to say, wait, just look like any old guys? What
Speaker 1: you meant? It kind of just looked like a guy? Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're not yet. There's nothing like super subverse. It's
Speaker 1: not riff raff the rapper out here. You know what
Speaker 1: other people think? There's small kinds of theories about this.
Speaker 1: No scar, no scar right right, not missing, like a nose,
Speaker 1: which seems to be the only facial feature that is
Speaker 1: is not featured well underneath the mask. No eyebrows brown
Speaker 1: sometimes that that looks great. A lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of people can pull off the no eyebrows. So do
Speaker 1: you think Orville Pecky's gonna pull like an Aaliyah like
Speaker 1: get get the get the mystery up up up. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's going on behind the mask? What's what the mask?
Speaker 1: What's going on? And then take it off and then
Speaker 1: like nothing was wrong? Y'all that with do that with
Speaker 1: their bangs, were their glasses. Everyone she was always wearing
Speaker 1: glasses and covered from one eye, and everyone's like with
Speaker 1: her eye? What's up with her eye? Remember being a teenager,
Speaker 1: he always been like yo, school Aliah's eyes and then
Speaker 1: she's unspeakably like a stunning sunny all the time. What
Speaker 1: do you want? Or maybe he's got terrible face tattoos. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The eyebrows is an interesting theory because it is so
Speaker 1: it's like a lone ranger mask with like a fringe
Speaker 1: hanging off of it. So like that I could see
Speaker 1: that as like compensation for a lack of eyebrows, you know,
Speaker 1: like he's trying to see I'm seeing some eyebrows peeking
Speaker 1: through on some of these other shots. Yeah, but like
Speaker 1: like you would do oh fake eyebrows to be part
Speaker 1: of the mask, Yes, thank you? Okay, whoa, Maybe he
Speaker 1: just wants you to envision whatever you want it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every want him to be. It is brilliant marketing shows
Speaker 1: incredible restraint, you know, and like foresight to be like,
Speaker 1: all right, so I'm about to become famous and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make it so that there is not a trace
Speaker 1: of my face on the internet. Could I do this
Speaker 1: for a comedy? That would be incredible? Anyone? Does anyone
Speaker 1: do that? Right now? No, I'll do it. Yeah, has
Speaker 1: anyone ever done it? There's the mask rapper, right, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got M. F. Doom. I mean I think I'm
Speaker 1: M F. Doom was one of our most famous mask rappers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what cool? Keith used to wear a mask too,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's right ghost Face originally,
Speaker 1: but but he wasn't really like hiding his face like that,
Speaker 1: But that was the that was the origin, right, legendarily
Speaker 1: apparently probably apocryphal, but ghost Face was wearing a mask
Speaker 1: because he was wanted at the at their first show,
Speaker 1: and that's how how he became ghost Face. What came
Speaker 1: for his ghost Face the rapper? A ghost face the
Speaker 1: killer in Scream the rapper the rapper? Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: you might have a case, Yeah you might. You might
Speaker 1: have to sue Dimension Films. I mean, we should have
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that the Kendrick album TI. I
Speaker 1: mean we've kind of referenced already it's a lot is
Speaker 1: a double album at a time when that just means,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't mean two discs so much as
Speaker 1: it means a lot of songs and the track numbering
Speaker 1: starts over halfway through. That seems incredible upon first listen,
Speaker 1: and I'm only halfway through it. It's a lot to
Speaker 1: get through. But then Radiohead dropped a new album on
Speaker 1: the same day, kind of There's a band called The
Speaker 1: Smile that is Tom York, Johnny Greenwood, and one other
Speaker 1: member of Radiohead, and it sounds like a Radiohead album.
Speaker 1: It sounds like I've only listened to a couple of songs,
Speaker 1: but it sounds awesome. That's that's a lot. That's weird
Speaker 1: being showered. Also, my Chemical Romance dropped in your song yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then isn't it isn't like another Taylor Swift album
Speaker 1: coming out, because like I feel like music Twitter is
Speaker 1: like it's so many camps are like you either mc MCR,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift or The Smile, Slash Kendrick. There's like so
Speaker 1: many verticals for parts of Twitter. They're like, it's the
Speaker 1: best music time ever right now, yeah, summer. Who do
Speaker 1: you think it is gonna have song of Summer? Taylor
Speaker 1: Orville who knows? Orville Peck, Horriville Pack, Yeah, let's say
Speaker 1: it right now. Orville Peck coming out with something nothing
Speaker 1: like a leather fringed mask that says, you know, late
Speaker 1: and summer. Do you think his mask just stinks or
Speaker 1: he's always got a new one? I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of masks. Yeah, it's not smelling like a
Speaker 1: mask out in there, I'm sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: although probably after like a long live show, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it smells a little bit like, you know, beer and sweat.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he doesn't get Hella sties right well that
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he doesn't. He stops wearing the mask and
Speaker 1: they're like, did you finally decide to share your face
Speaker 1: with us? Rriville n M. I was getting terrible sties.
Speaker 1: My my optomics just said I have to take it
Speaker 1: off where I could do serious damage to my vision.
Speaker 1: So constantly, it's like it's easy to find out who
Speaker 1: Orbit is because he has it's the guy with the
Speaker 1: stye right and the really specific tan line on it. Hey,
Speaker 1: are you orrible? No? I'm not, man, can you leave
Speaker 1: me alone? Okay, just so I was flew to New
Speaker 1: York to get eye surgery. I speaking of sties. Whenever
Speaker 1: I was in New York. It was the only time
Speaker 1: I ever, like really on a regular basis, got sties
Speaker 1: because I think it was just you know, public transit
Speaker 1: and just the touch of my eyes. I do. I
Speaker 1: do like to give butterfly kisses to every you know,
Speaker 1: hand holding a spot on a subway train, so that
Speaker 1: could have been the issue. But okay, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: probably I feel like there's a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff in the gets in your eyes into and
Speaker 1: why and why is it easy to get a stign
Speaker 1: in your eye? Let us know? Or don't you know? Yeah, Twitter,
Speaker 1: And yeah, maybe it was an aside that I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have even brought up, but you know it's, yeah, like, dude,
Speaker 1: you're touching your eyes too much. I know, clearly. But
Speaker 1: then when I got out to l A, I didn't
Speaker 1: get any sties. So there you go. Yeah, what is something,
Speaker 1: Brian that you think is overrated? Friday's m hmm. Now
Speaker 1: you're saying this on a Friday, I know, even though
Speaker 1: this episode is dropping on a Monday. Yeah, tell us
Speaker 1: what what's what's what? What's what's overrated about a Friday.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm tired, you know, six pm, seven pm
Speaker 1: rolls around and I'm like, let me, I can't even
Speaker 1: like leave my home. I can't go out. I'm sleepy,
Speaker 1: I want to take a nap, I cancel plans. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I have more down to do stuff midweek. I have
Speaker 1: more energy. Oh so is that kind? So I kind
Speaker 1: of identified with that, where like Friday feels like the
Speaker 1: finish line and then it's like it's easy because I
Speaker 1: have the relief of saying, well, tomorrow's Saturday. But right
Speaker 1: now I'm like dealing with the just barely getting to
Speaker 1: Friday energy. Yeah, there's nothing left in the tank for
Speaker 1: me on Fridays. Yeah, I feel like I love to
Speaker 1: just stay in on a Friday. I'm like, no, this
Speaker 1: is a good version of staying in on a Friday.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm wired a bit differently, and it sucks
Speaker 1: because everyone else is like going hard and I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: what are they different that I'm not ignoring the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I mean, ship man, I'm in New York right now.
Speaker 1: It's it's tight. I don't care about COVID at all.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, okay, we're still in New York from
Speaker 1: ice surgery. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just had it yesterday
Speaker 1: and you can see already. Yeah. I texted him right
Speaker 1: after the surgery, check on, check on miles eyes, and
Speaker 1: he was immediately like, dude, I can see better than
Speaker 1: like they tested my ship right after I got out
Speaker 1: the surgery, and I was already seeing slightly better than
Speaker 1: I did going in. That's after me having lasers on
Speaker 1: my eyeballs smelling your corny is cook. That's wild briefly, yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Yeah, but yeah, like I was walking around
Speaker 1: and I just like going indoors. It's it's weird because
Speaker 1: parts of l A indoors people are still very like
Speaker 1: i'd say, you have like a sixty forty seventy thirty
Speaker 1: split masks to unmasked places, but here it's like it's
Speaker 1: like unmasked indoors indoors. Yeah, but I mean, look, everybody
Speaker 1: has their own relative comfort levels. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people I know like walk around with they're like, well,
Speaker 1: I just had it three weeks ago. Comfort like confidence.
Speaker 1: So everybody's on different timelines for sure. Yeah, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Brian? Thursdays? Thursdays, that's my Friday.
Speaker 1: Thursdays is like, all right, I've had enough. I've had enough.
Speaker 1: I can't take it anymore. I got to like be
Speaker 1: really irresponsible, and that's when I pop off. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think I think our bodies are now like telling us
Speaker 1: as a species that it's it's four day work weeks.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's been plenty. We're we're ready for We're
Speaker 1: ready to pop off on Thursdays. Yeah, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: is that but is that like remnants from college like
Speaker 1: Thursday Thursdays? Yeah, Like I was. I was going the
Speaker 1: hardest on Thursdays because I remember when I have the
Speaker 1: ability to choose my schedule, I did everything I could
Speaker 1: to not have class Fridays. Yeah, and so that's why
Speaker 1: I like Thursday. I was like, man, Friday is a
Speaker 1: recovery day. Basically Thursdays when I go hard. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then cut to Friday. Maybe that's why I'm depleted on
Speaker 1: Friday because I used if I just like held off
Speaker 1: a little bit. I be out here with every Wednday
Speaker 1: on Friday, right, Yeah, if you don't want to, maybe
Speaker 1: you're you know your lines are lines are shorter on Thursdays.
Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, castles and coach through are um
Speaker 1: six flags or whatever. Two. I mean, how's like a
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday? How do you all feel for anything
Speaker 1: happening that is that is Tuesday to like violently in
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week to do something. Now, I'll
Speaker 1: go out on Tuesday. Yeah, Like my only experience with
Speaker 1: like the you know, New York nightlife, Like I I
Speaker 1: had somebody who worked next to me when I was
Speaker 1: at ABC News who was like went to the like
Speaker 1: the clubs every night that there was like a big
Speaker 1: night and it was she was like, yeah, like Monday,
Speaker 1: Tuesday are the nights. Everything else is like so whack,
Speaker 1: And I could I could not come close to Like
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't have the fortitude to do that
Speaker 1: to start off a week hungover and then like ease
Speaker 1: into it. I need I need the sleep. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, some people they have they have to go
Speaker 1: out to feel alive, you know, a certain ags and
Speaker 1: at a certain point like that formula inverts and you're like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm dying when I go. I was
Speaker 1: in my early twenties. I already felt that way. Yeah. No, no,
Speaker 1: I was the same. I was fully burnt out by
Speaker 1: two mm. Yeah. I couldn't go to a club to
Speaker 1: save my life. At I was like, I can't do
Speaker 1: this is my brain is damaged from party m from college. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: college bad for the brain. We've been saying it. You know.
Speaker 1: Well you have to do is get that Wouten double CD.
Speaker 1: You have all the education you need. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back. And we like to cover shortages here. And
Speaker 1: we've covered the candy can shortage, the Christmas tree shortage,
Speaker 1: the eggnog shortages of the past, and they were all bullshit. Uh.
Speaker 1: There is a legit shortage of baby formula right now,
Speaker 1: which for some parents is terrifying. Reportedly, uh of formula
Speaker 1: is out of stock nationwide. You know, first of all,
Speaker 1: there formulas controversial. I think a lot of people think
Speaker 1: you should never feed your baby formula. Parenthood is messy. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we went into parenthood being like we're never
Speaker 1: going to use formula formulas bad. It has sugar and
Speaker 1: all sorts of bullshit in it, But you need to
Speaker 1: you need to stretch that breast milk sometimes you need to. Ye.
Speaker 1: Not everyone can work, Yeah, there's not everybody. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: got a job that you can't pump, Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you're I feel like it's probably
Speaker 1: a minority of workplaces where it's like yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and if you need to, there's like a place for
Speaker 1: you know, people to pump. Is sh it like that,
Speaker 1: But that's not that's not the majority for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So one of people are asking what would happened to
Speaker 1: the shortage? Can we just blame it on supply chain
Speaker 1: issues and called today Actually, there was a recall of
Speaker 1: Abbott baby formula following the deaths of two babies due
Speaker 1: to a rare infection that led the FDA to investigate
Speaker 1: the plant, which turned up traces of, you know, a
Speaker 1: very unpronounceable pathogen. But worse is that a whistleblower tipped
Speaker 1: off the FDA about the conditions of the plant months
Speaker 1: earlier and they did nothing. Wow. Yeah, you know that
Speaker 1: that's pretty standard American capitalism bullshit, where you know, the
Speaker 1: f D a government institution is completely underfunded, completely toothless,
Speaker 1: and you know it doesn't do ship until it basically
Speaker 1: is going to hit the company's earnings report at some point.
Speaker 1: But like a whistleblower, you know that's that's not gonna
Speaker 1: be on the top of the pilots doing fine. Dude,
Speaker 1: their fucking home COVID testing business has taken the funk off.
Speaker 1: I'm sure in our minds are like, bro, we can
Speaker 1: absorb dead children lawsuits sadly, because I mean so many
Speaker 1: of the take like sort of tele medicine tests, a
Speaker 1: lot of the popular like you know, one of the
Speaker 1: very popular ones is made by Abbott. Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: is a calculation that businesses, lawyers, corporations have lawyers do
Speaker 1: for them, like what would the lawsuit like cost us,
Speaker 1: and then what would have cost us to make this improvement,
Speaker 1: this safety adjustment that's proven, Yeah, how much you can
Speaker 1: our profits. There's also what is it it's like on
Speaker 1: demand supply chain things because like because of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: people corded formula, so the demand fell and suppliers cut
Speaker 1: back production through and now there's demand again, but they
Speaker 1: haven't been able to ramp it up. But that's which
Speaker 1: was the same thing that happened with like appliances and
Speaker 1: a lot of other things, right because the pandemic where
Speaker 1: it's like, well, people aren't buying it, so let's not
Speaker 1: let's not go too hard on manufacturing it and then
Speaker 1: cut two. Oh right, Yeah, it's a that's a trend
Speaker 1: of manufacturing where you don't you never manufacturer surplus. It's
Speaker 1: just always like as demand spikes, you just have to
Speaker 1: like hire a bunch of people really quickly and do
Speaker 1: it because it costs money to like store stuff. That's
Speaker 1: been a new trend that the only downside is it
Speaker 1: makes life hell for sometimes consumers in this case, but
Speaker 1: always you are workers. I wonder, is there a way
Speaker 1: to like make baby formula? Do you think, like d
Speaker 1: I was like at home, Yeah, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I saw on Twitter. I mean again, I would take
Speaker 1: that with a grain of salt, but I did see
Speaker 1: a lot of like people on activist Twitter like sharing
Speaker 1: information on that. Now again I have no clue how,
Speaker 1: and like I wonder if you just look at the ingredients,
Speaker 1: like could you reverse engineer baby formula? One thing I
Speaker 1: remember from when we were doing it is that the
Speaker 1: best baby formula like is illegal in America. There's like
Speaker 1: all these German and I just want to say this.
Speaker 1: A lot of people said, there's a lot of discussion
Speaker 1: about this, and a lot of people say they want
Speaker 1: to discourage that. But so it's very it seems very contentious.
Speaker 1: But baby formula, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're like I think
Speaker 1: you know that. I see it on a few different
Speaker 1: news things where their pediatricians are like, it's m I
Speaker 1: would advise against it. I would never be able to
Speaker 1: figure out what how to make it because if you
Speaker 1: if you've ever smelled baby formula, it is the stinkiest,
Speaker 1: worst smelling ship. And like if I arrived on that
Speaker 1: by accident, like d I Y, I would be like,
Speaker 1: oh no, like I better just throw this out before
Speaker 1: like anyone smells it because it might harm them. Like
Speaker 1: baby formula like makes me gag when I'm like mixing
Speaker 1: it the baby formula, not grown jack formula. I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying it. There's nothing intuitive about it
Speaker 1: that is like this would be a good thing to
Speaker 1: feed to. It probably smells like stay to the babies.
Speaker 1: It smells like steak, and babies aren't huge fans of
Speaker 1: medium rare steak, which I found out the hard way.
Speaker 1: It smells like baby formula. So there I was talking
Speaker 1: about the German baby formula is like better because it
Speaker 1: doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. You might
Speaker 1: be surprised to learn they're still putting high fructose corn
Speaker 1: syrup in America's baby formula. So we were like trying
Speaker 1: to find a way to order baby formula from Germany.
Speaker 1: But when you do that, that's when the f D
Speaker 1: a fucking swings into action and suddenly acts like they
Speaker 1: exist because of America's trade policy. There's a number of
Speaker 1: European baby formulas that are banned in the US, even
Speaker 1: though they meet most of the FDA national guidelines. And
Speaker 1: it's basically like most US brands wouldn't pass the European
Speaker 1: regulation because they're banned on certain added sugars. And the
Speaker 1: FDA loves to seize that ship like it's a drug shipment,
Speaker 1: like and then yeah they're label properly, yeah, like it
Speaker 1: the and the labeling thing is not anything other than
Speaker 1: like it doesn't have it doesn't tell you the iron thing.
Speaker 1: It's like pure bureaucratic bullshit that is hiding underneath it
Speaker 1: like a bunch of lobbying by American companies that don't
Speaker 1: want their market fucked with, which is odd too because
Speaker 1: like it's funny like on the other way that Europeans like,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna poison our people with mountain do out
Speaker 1: of here, not sell this garbage and our within our borders.
Speaker 1: Another the babies aren't as big a fan of as
Speaker 1: I am. But then I also like, I know, like
Speaker 1: there's like French cough or French cold medicine that my
Speaker 1: mom bought like once and forever she's like it's better,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's more that ship works better than the
Speaker 1: like American medicines and stuff. But I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of debate over like things that are prescription versus
Speaker 1: over the counter and both and like these parts of
Speaker 1: the world, and that's in f days, like oh, you're
Speaker 1: just letting people take care of themselves without getting your
Speaker 1: their health insurance involved. Yeah, but yeah, so this is
Speaker 1: a real thing the parents are dealing with, And I
Speaker 1: would say, like the I wouldn't I would not suggest
Speaker 1: telling people to just breastfeed because not everybody has that option,
Speaker 1: and it's seems like people are acting like that is
Speaker 1: the only way, right, Yeah, yeah, it's it's very much
Speaker 1: like coming from the you know concerns, so like I
Speaker 1: wanted to tie this to just the general state of
Speaker 1: having children giving birth in America because I think I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people have talked about it in
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the Leak Road decision. But there are studies.
Speaker 1: There's one in the a j MC that found that
Speaker 1: among eleven developed countries, the United States has the highest
Speaker 1: maternal mortality rate relative undersupply of maternity care providers, is
Speaker 1: the only country not to guarantee access to provider home
Speaker 1: to that were paid for him to leave in the
Speaker 1: postpartum period. And it's we're last, America's last out of
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, uh Netherlands,
Speaker 1: New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland and the UK. America
Speaker 1: comes in dead last, right for you know, the healthcare
Speaker 1: of women who are having children or who become pregnant
Speaker 1: and then of the children of the like children immediately
Speaker 1: after they're they're born. There's just like fewer options because
Speaker 1: America is built to take care of corporations and not
Speaker 1: human beings, right, and they do I mean this kind
Speaker 1: of speaks to the sort of all the disconnects we
Speaker 1: talk about, right, because at one level, if you work
Speaker 1: in like the service industry or something that's like hourly,
Speaker 1: you're not going to have benefits like that. As you
Speaker 1: move up the class rungs, if you have a good
Speaker 1: job and let's say like a tech company where the
Speaker 1: people the hr is a little more forward thinking, you
Speaker 1: might have benefits that resemble something closer to humane treatment.
Speaker 1: But then that that also puts people in this reality
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh, well, I have that my job.
Speaker 1: Other people must have that too, not realizing that the
Speaker 1: further you go down, the more hostile and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just inhumane the treatment becomes, such as like yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're working at McDonald's or something, they're not gonna be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: here's your paid time off because you've just had a child.
Speaker 1: They're like always had a child, Okay when you come
Speaker 1: back in. Right, It's so crazy that like hospitals make money,
Speaker 1: you know, like they it's like what they that like
Speaker 1: shouldn't even like be a thing. I feel like I
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet or like somebody said this, but
Speaker 1: like people are like hospitals are just like giving like
Speaker 1: c sections to when giving births, because it's apparently it's
Speaker 1: like cheaper, and I'm like, that's so crazy. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's more expensive, but like a better deal for
Speaker 1: the hospital, better more profitable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there was a I'm looking at it, like
Speaker 1: an article from twenty nineteen that was saying a doctor
Speaker 1: in an economist note that doctors are generally paid quite
Speaker 1: a little bit more for a C section, Right, that's
Speaker 1: so that's really sucked up. Yeah, and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a something that's consistently happening, like apparently in the South too.
Speaker 1: It's just it's a it's you know, a plague apparently
Speaker 1: according to this other headline. Yeah, and you know, there
Speaker 1: there's a thread from a doctor in Alabama saying that, like,
Speaker 1: Alabama is a great example of what will happen when
Speaker 1: rose overturned. And yeah, we're we're already like living in
Speaker 1: a dystopia and a lot of the states are worse
Speaker 1: than people realize. But people like this doctor talks about people,
Speaker 1: you know, coming to the emergency room with um, you know,
Speaker 1: a miscarriage and being turned away and you know, at
Speaker 1: first the doctor thought it was because the patient disclosed
Speaker 1: they had had a medication abortion and were thus treated poorly.
Speaker 1: But hospitals and their physicians are willing to violate the
Speaker 1: patient's rights in order to avoid a feared potential for prosecution. Essentially,
Speaker 1: so like already in Alabama, because it is already like
Speaker 1: abortions are banned by the Alabama state constitution. It's just
Speaker 1: that they're not really allowed to go full guns blazing
Speaker 1: in light of row. But that's about to go away, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's bad. And then just again in
Speaker 1: the that's not the solution category, so this physician raises
Speaker 1: long threat about how bad it is an Alabama and
Speaker 1: how is an indication of where things are going? And
Speaker 1: somebody with a user name that includes g q p
Speaker 1: R seditionists and I stand with Ukraine came back and said,
Speaker 1: doctors need to leave these states? Solution Yeah, the original poster,
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of people saying that, like why
Speaker 1: would you ever go there? Like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Because that said live the way of thinking where you
Speaker 1: also do a thing where it's like, oh it's the South,
Speaker 1: they're not human either, leave that place. So like because
Speaker 1: they like there's is just as guilty of the those
Speaker 1: aren't people thinking as the right is. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: this is that you know, watching from a distance and
Speaker 1: assuming the solution must be easy because your life is
Speaker 1: easy and you sleep easy, like type ship that we
Speaker 1: talked about a lot when we were just analyzing MPR
Speaker 1: voice and like we're where why people need their news
Speaker 1: of the end of the world told them like a
Speaker 1: bedtime story, like with a like SMR voice. Like I
Speaker 1: think this all kind of ties together that it's just like, well,
Speaker 1: it's easy, just like move out and like get out
Speaker 1: of there. Like my my first reaction is like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: like how do we get actors to move to these
Speaker 1: places that need them so badly? And you know that's
Speaker 1: obviously easier said than done, And like that's why I
Speaker 1: didn't put it in like a pet tweet, like move
Speaker 1: their doctors, you know, like I don't want to put
Speaker 1: yourself at risk unnecessary prosecution to go to jail. But
Speaker 1: I'm just confused how you ever land at just leave
Speaker 1: that situation as the solution to the problem, because then
Speaker 1: if there aren't enough doctors, then eventually someone who's in
Speaker 1: a position of power will have a tragedy and then
Speaker 1: they'll realize what's happened, and they'll wake up and they'll
Speaker 1: realize the air of their ways, I think is how
Speaker 1: that thinking goes. Well, then you don't get doctors, and
Speaker 1: then you'll figure it out the same way, like with
Speaker 1: the power outages in Texas. Yeah, well maybe you shouldn't
Speaker 1: have voted those people in not oh one of these
Speaker 1: people get their power, Like yeah, well maybe if they
Speaker 1: don't have power long enough, they'll start voting the right way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. If anything, you create a
Speaker 1: vacuum for some creep to come in and explain that
Speaker 1: X group of marginalized people as the reason the power
Speaker 1: went out, right, you know, And that's usually the cycle
Speaker 1: that we see with our politics. Yeah, it feels like
Speaker 1: what is it like is it reverse gentrification? Like the
Speaker 1: right thing? I don't know, Like when if you're just
Speaker 1: like telling everybody to leave a place, it's like, um, okay,
Speaker 1: but that's yeah, it's just like that. Huh. But again,
Speaker 1: those there's a lot of takes from people who speak
Speaker 1: just so narrowly from their own perspective and what options
Speaker 1: they have on the table, with absolutely zero thought going
Speaker 1: into what do do people have the same options as
Speaker 1: I do. Right, It's it's really crazy that like, uh,
Speaker 1: that that type of thinking still exists, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like how if that's how if that's like you're like
Speaker 1: off the cuff response to something like how are you
Speaker 1: like navigating life every day? Like are you just like
Speaker 1: operating from like such like privilege that like you you
Speaker 1: feel like you're like you probably think you're like living
Speaker 1: a great like altruistic life or whatever, but it's like, no,
Speaker 1: you're kind of like making things so much worse for everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's ignorance. It's willful ignorance. Or maybe it's not
Speaker 1: all the time, but it's from this perspective of like, oh,
Speaker 1: we live on a piece of bread that's rotting, but
Speaker 1: the mold is on that side of the bread and
Speaker 1: I live on on the other side of the bread
Speaker 1: and it's not going to get to me. But that's
Speaker 1: not how mold works, that's not how rot works. It
Speaker 1: it gets it will eventually take over the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And I think we're only in like the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks we saw with that row leak, people were like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, reproductive rights actually could affect me now,
Speaker 1: don't mind all the other people who have had restricted
Speaker 1: access or you know, criminalized healthcare in the country that
Speaker 1: have been activists have been saying, this is happening in
Speaker 1: real time, but it's only now because that rot has
Speaker 1: become come within view of these people's homes that they're like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, this is bad and I and I think
Speaker 1: this is the same reason why now we're seeing you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Democrats rely on their time honored
Speaker 1: strategy of using existential dread to motivate people. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: that's what he's done now. Um, he's out he's out
Speaker 1: here now saying things like referring to like the Great
Speaker 1: Maga King and Trump and that from season one of
Speaker 1: Like is that a Yellow King reference? I have no
Speaker 1: idea what the funk that is, but that's that's the energy.
Speaker 1: There's like this, there's this article in The New Republic.
Speaker 1: It's like an op ed that has this the whiniest
Speaker 1: like defense of Biden pivoting to saying, well, if if
Speaker 1: we don't win in the mid terms, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: more Trump and that's that. I hope that motivates you. Uh,
Speaker 1: just like in this this the author rights Biden's low
Speaker 1: numbers are seriously unfair. Huh, not fair, not fair, not fair,
Speaker 1: seriously unfair. That is such a white people concept, that's
Speaker 1: seriously unfair. No way, is this a white man seriously unfair?
Speaker 1: You don't. That's not an option for a lot of
Speaker 1: people to be like, this is unfair. Most people are
Speaker 1: living in seriously unfair as their reality since the moment
Speaker 1: of their birth. Uh, and that's all they know. However,
Speaker 1: he goes on say the numbers are seriously unfair. He's
Speaker 1: managing quite expertly. Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Okay, what billions
Speaker 1: of dollars going to defense contracts? Granted, yes, there they're
Speaker 1: sick there, you know, national security is important. But also
Speaker 1: the country is also in free fall. The economy, despite
Speaker 1: some nasty inflation, is booming. All right, Yeah, what what like,
Speaker 1: give me the indicators that make this a booming economy? Uh?
Speaker 1: The line went up and I had, Dude, some of
Speaker 1: the stocks I owned are fucking doing wild. Don't worry
Speaker 1: about the unregulated crypto market, where a bunch of like
Speaker 1: bystanders probably took a terrible fucking financial bath. Too. Nasty case,
Speaker 1: I got a nasty cough. But otherwise I'm feeling great.
Speaker 1: I'm thriving. Uh. And then they said talking about it
Speaker 1: and then passed a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill on
Speaker 1: which Trump could never get Congress to move, that is,
Speaker 1: even if he tried. And for those who care, not
Speaker 1: everyone does. The deficits gone down. Biden restored the sense
Speaker 1: we lacked during the Trump years that the government is
Speaker 1: operating in a reasonably orderly and ethical fashion. None of
Speaker 1: this has gotten the country to rate bide in the
Speaker 1: superior president he so obviously is that is such a
Speaker 1: it's it's just like he's better than Trump and those
Speaker 1: are two options. It's like the reads like what else
Speaker 1: can he do? Guys? Tax the rich? Yeah? Like what
Speaker 1: the fund is he supposed to do? Right? Like what
Speaker 1: do you mean? And sadly, though it may work this
Speaker 1: tactic because more people, more voters than not, are looking
Speaker 1: at this, you know rightly, so that there's this is
Speaker 1: an existential threat from the Supreme Court that's constantly there.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they're going to be enough
Speaker 1: people who are also marrying that too? What what what?
Speaker 1: But but what what are what's going to happen? What's
Speaker 1: what's our future. What does our future look like? Don't
Speaker 1: just say, dude, look fascists over there, Yeah, what's the future?
Speaker 1: And you look at so like you know, the one
Speaker 1: of the advisors of the A f l C. I oh,
Speaker 1: he said, is describing what's happening is quote what Biden
Speaker 1: is finally doing is trying to alert people to what's
Speaker 1: actually at stake in American elections. Yeah, and talking about
Speaker 1: how this has been a huge motivator if you when
Speaker 1: you tell people about the horrible nous of the Republican
Speaker 1: Party and and you know this article point. It worked
Speaker 1: in the mid terms where the turnout was higher, it
Speaker 1: worked in the presidential presidential election where turnout was higher.
Speaker 1: But like many people are well aware of the very
Speaker 1: bad things that are on the horizon. Like we're not
Speaker 1: looking for a fucking p s A about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, offer a solution. It's of the bar is
Speaker 1: so low that like the only thing that like tips
Speaker 1: anybody like in the favor of like the Democrats is like, hey,
Speaker 1: at least we're like, at least we can't do as
Speaker 1: bad as like the last administration. It's like we that's
Speaker 1: um really bad logic, you know. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: this is this is the problem because now we're you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're playing politics, not protecting people. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: that's all. That's always clear when someone's doing that, when
Speaker 1: their interest is in acting people, or if their interest
Speaker 1: is playing politics, and it just you know, it just
Speaker 1: reminds me again of like what Katie Porter said last week,
Speaker 1: like that her colleagues minds were blown when she got
Speaker 1: emotional about buying groceries and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa's
Speaker 1: like bad out there for like poor people, like like
Speaker 1: bacon's like too much to buy. Huh, It's not in
Speaker 1: the polls. It's not in the polls, is what they say.
Speaker 1: Little do they know, there's there's a sycophantic industry of
Speaker 1: consultants that's built around people showing you poles that will
Speaker 1: help you feel better about what's going on. Right Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that is the whole the the whole
Speaker 1: infrastructure is like built kind of keep the current status
Speaker 1: quo and values in place, like from the polling to
Speaker 1: the lobbyists, right yeah. And I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about somebody telling me like what the stakes are when
Speaker 1: like your Twitter avatar looks like you're like on Walden
Speaker 1: Pond Yeah, the writer of the uh yeah, like you
Speaker 1: pure and you're just having a nice white wine on
Speaker 1: your deck every night to take the sunset in. There
Speaker 1: is so much white wine energy with every with the
Speaker 1: whole I mean, the MPR thing really felt like when
Speaker 1: we were just listening to that, I just I felt
Speaker 1: like every person who is describing, um, you know, giving
Speaker 1: us the a story of a war crime, but like
Speaker 1: through the lens of NPR voice like sounded like they
Speaker 1: were doing it over a glass of white wine. This
Speaker 1: person who wrote this looks it definitely has a glass
Speaker 1: of white wine in their hand. I don't wanna have
Speaker 1: nothing against white wine or wine drinkers, but it just
Speaker 1: feels it feels very much like well because it evokes
Speaker 1: the idea of care free people who are speaking from
Speaker 1: a reality that is so disconnected to everyone else's. Like
Speaker 1: the love a buttery shard. This is a great buttery shard.
Speaker 1: Thank you has gone too far. I feel like this person,
Speaker 1: like the person you're describing, they're like all about self
Speaker 1: care and they're just like this is I need self
Speaker 1: care right, Like like he got into self care the
Speaker 1: same month he how it was trying to reckon with
Speaker 1: his like white privilege. Yeah, but I mean I need
Speaker 1: to take care of myself. Actually, this is too much,
Speaker 1: there's too much to think about. Yeah, I mean this
Speaker 1: is where this is all the same story, right, Like
Speaker 1: the person who told the doctor that they just need
Speaker 1: to leave those states to die, like leave the poor
Speaker 1: people in those states to die, had g Q Pierce
Speaker 1: seditionist traders. I stand with Ukraine, like we we talked
Speaker 1: him yesterday's show about you know, the bitcoin markets and
Speaker 1: the fact that they not only like their crashes like
Speaker 1: kind of a distraction from other more important news stories,
Speaker 1: but like they are a second market built on top
Speaker 1: of the other market that is just doing the same
Speaker 1: ship as the as the other market. So like, but
Speaker 1: this is people are basically need anything to funnel the
Speaker 1: energy they should be using two towards realizing that our
Speaker 1: current trajectory is completely unsustainable and dangerous and going to
Speaker 1: be very deadly for our children and grandchildren. Like they
Speaker 1: they are taking. It's just coming up like all turned around.
Speaker 1: It's it's cognitive dissonance at its finest, and it's pretty frustrating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wish that like the people who like wrote
Speaker 1: op eds, like didn't write op eds. You know. I
Speaker 1: just feel like I feel like the people who should
Speaker 1: be writing op eds don't have the time or money
Speaker 1: to actually write op eds and that's who we need
Speaker 1: to hear from. But like they just don't have the resources.
Speaker 1: And that's, uh, I don't know what sucks. That's how
Speaker 1: we get the New York Times op ed page being like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the main problem is cancel culture. And you know,
Speaker 1: because it's made up of like liberal people who went
Speaker 1: to Harvard and conservative people who went to Harvard, Like
Speaker 1: those are the two types of people who work for
Speaker 1: the New York Times opened. I feel like it's just
Speaker 1: like the people, Yeah, it's like the people who like
Speaker 1: I have only ever like bend the loudest or whatever,
Speaker 1: just like never listen to anybody Like that's that's op
Speaker 1: ed culture. And it's like, right, we need to cancel
Speaker 1: op ed culture. Actually unless we're only uplifting voices of
Speaker 1: the people at the lowest rungs of society. Because we don't,
Speaker 1: we're our our our media is dominated by ideas of
Speaker 1: like basically like top two per cent or culture without
Speaker 1: realizing it, every single thing, like I remember when the
Speaker 1: first time as a kid, I realized it is seeing
Speaker 1: the depiction of New York on television so much as
Speaker 1: a kid and I live in l A. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, New York sounds cool, so cool. And
Speaker 1: I visited somebody like a family friend who lived in
Speaker 1: New York. Their place was so tiny. I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: are you poor? What the funk is this? Because the
Speaker 1: broke people on TV got nice cribs in New York
Speaker 1: And that completely fucks up your idea of you know,
Speaker 1: like what anything is or is not. And I think,
Speaker 1: you know, just it just continues and continues and continues
Speaker 1: when the takes of that are supposedly like analyzes of
Speaker 1: our current situation are done by people who are so
Speaker 1: not even near the action. I mean movies and often
Speaker 1: TV shows like from the like eighties up through fairly
Speaker 1: really like it maybe a decade ago, like there was
Speaker 1: no like financial reality, there was no economic reality, like
Speaker 1: economic gravity did not exist. And most of the time,
Speaker 1: poor people, poor characters were a fucking punchline. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: like you had to make the show about that, like
Speaker 1: Rose and was about as your place exactly, you know,
Speaker 1: like that you would usually be the reaction of a
Speaker 1: character like when like seeing someone's like lesser you know, lifestyle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you feel like that's changed. I feel like there's more.
Speaker 1: I think. I feel like there's more of it. There's
Speaker 1: more working class comedy stuff. I feel now. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the majority of people, though, I think would think
Speaker 1: that everyone in America lives like what you're seeing in
Speaker 1: Modern Family, Right, Yeah, I think that's right, you know,
Speaker 1: And I think that's what how most Democrats, because they
Speaker 1: are most politicians, because they're not, you know, at the
Speaker 1: poorest people. They probably know where their college educated staffers
Speaker 1: that that's sort of like like we say that's where
Speaker 1: the that's where the blind spot begins, and they're like, wait,
Speaker 1: it's not like on Modern Family. People aren't living like
Speaker 1: that and if they lived in that reality, and many
Speaker 1: do know, but I think it's just too much for
Speaker 1: them to consider. Do I actually have a handedness? No? No,
Speaker 1: it can't be like okay, but I'm gonna work. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna work hard for them despite that. I'm not responsible,
Speaker 1: but I'll do my best kind of thing. Rather than
Speaker 1: there's a terrible situation. The least I can do is
Speaker 1: use my position here to try and bring attention or
Speaker 1: fight for something better despite this terribly flawed system. I
Speaker 1: don't like this. The stakes aren't real for them. It's
Speaker 1: like hypothetical, Yeah, exactly, and it's a hypothetical thing that
Speaker 1: they would only read in a book by Margaret at Wood. Right,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and let's talk arrival time.
Speaker 1: It's everybody's talking about it. This is this is actually
Speaker 1: hotly contested and my household, my wife likes to be
Speaker 1: very punctual, and you know, fully admits she's like, it's
Speaker 1: just a thing like where I feel like I'm being
Speaker 1: disrespected if I'm there late at all, i feel disrespectful
Speaker 1: and like I'm being disrespected if i have to show
Speaker 1: up there on time. I'm like, I this is this
Speaker 1: is an attack on Okay, so this is the thing, right,
Speaker 1: this is one of those things that we always contest,
Speaker 1: and it also has a lot of cultural nuance to
Speaker 1: But is there a perfect time? Are you one of
Speaker 1: those people who doesn't mind being there first and helping
Speaker 1: the host out a bit. Are you a minimum thirty
Speaker 1: type because you you do absolutely do not want to
Speaker 1: be there helping anybody set up ship. You want to
Speaker 1: get there and get down. Well. I think this is
Speaker 1: something that has been as constantly, But is there a
Speaker 1: right answer, Jack, You've said for you, you're not trying
Speaker 1: to be there punctual. I get that your wife different
Speaker 1: set of different different upbringing to like my mom is
Speaker 1: is very punctual. I'm dealing with Japanese clock time versus
Speaker 1: Black people time constantly, and I'm pulled into multiple directions
Speaker 1: based on the thing like if it's a thing with
Speaker 1: my mother, like a family event with my Japanese side
Speaker 1: of the family, I show up on time. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: it's with my black family, it's a little it's it's
Speaker 1: it's like suggested to suggest it so suggested. My wife's
Speaker 1: Korean and her mom was always late to things and
Speaker 1: her like need to be punctual. I think is a
Speaker 1: reaction to that is that she always felt stressed out
Speaker 1: by that. My parents were pretty punctual. I don't think
Speaker 1: them being punctual has anything to do with me. I
Speaker 1: think I just m have social anxiety and feel like
Speaker 1: it's just prolonging the process of my battery being drained
Speaker 1: and me contributing nothing. Right. Brian how about you where
Speaker 1: you out on this? I feel like it depends on
Speaker 1: what it is, like if it's one, if it's if
Speaker 1: it's only one other person I'm meeting, you gotta be.
Speaker 1: But that is that's an event. You can be thirty
Speaker 1: to an hour to two hours later, right, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: two hours. Well, it totally depends, like Brian, this is
Speaker 1: my point. This, So this equation in the Atlantic, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've never seen the Atlantic at anything wrong before, but
Speaker 1: this equation that like you're allowed to leg go through it.
Speaker 1: You input the variables. None of the variables are how
Speaker 1: many people are at this event, which is arguably the
Speaker 1: most important thing, and how long is the event? Like
Speaker 1: how many hours is the event? Last, let's assume right,
Speaker 1: it's it's like a Friday night party because the most
Speaker 1: of the oh you're right, okay, my bad, a Thursday
Speaker 1: night turn up and Jack, you're in college. It's just
Speaker 1: out there, uh, because a lot of it is centered
Speaker 1: around a party, mostly parties, mostly like larger group gatherings.
Speaker 1: Because that he the author of a Joe Pinsker, does
Speaker 1: you know acknowledge like it's different when it's something that
Speaker 1: abides by clock time, when it's like, you know, a
Speaker 1: more formal event or something like that versus getting together
Speaker 1: with your social group and the varying arrival times that
Speaker 1: exist within there. Pinsker says that he heard from a
Speaker 1: friend the thirty eight minute rule that thirty eight minutes
Speaker 1: late is the perfect window because you're not too early
Speaker 1: because you're you're not You're not there like within thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: You just after, but you're not over forty minutes, so
Speaker 1: you don't look like a dick. Now, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that really matters, But for this question, like you're saying, Jackie,
Speaker 1: he enlisted the help of a mathematician to really create
Speaker 1: some kind of proper formula to understand, you know, because
Speaker 1: this is a balance of many variables to dial in
Speaker 1: when it's the best time. This is the same mathematician
Speaker 1: who did intangible equations like the dumper slash dumpy differential.
Speaker 1: I think, for like when John Green was writing a
Speaker 1: book or something, he helped out with that. So let's
Speaker 1: go through this. Let's use Brian. I want to use
Speaker 1: you as an example. You've got the active social life.
Speaker 1: We will pump. Let's let's punch in, uh these very
Speaker 1: holds into the machine. So The first question to figure
Speaker 1: out the perfect arrival time is how punctual are your
Speaker 1: friends on a scale of zero to ten? Zero being
Speaker 1: perpetually behind, ten being on the dot so like on average. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say seven, seven, okay, okay, pretty punked. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next question, how confident are you about your friends punctuality?
Speaker 1: Zero not at all and ten being completely uh? Four?
Speaker 1: Four okay? Uh? Next question, do you expect that everyone
Speaker 1: will show up around the same time? Zero is not
Speaker 1: at all, ten being definitely Um. I would go eight. Wow, interesting, Okay,
Speaker 1: see this, this is this is good information for How
Speaker 1: awkward is it to be too early for you? Zero
Speaker 1: you don't mind at all? Ten it's unbearable. Um I'll
Speaker 1: go five, five, okay, okay. Next one, how uncomfortable is
Speaker 1: it to be too late? Again? Zero being not at all,
Speaker 1: ten being extremely uncomfortable. Zero. Oh, you're gonna get a
Speaker 1: good This is the formula is gonna bless you, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Next one, how excited are you about this party? Zero
Speaker 1: being not at all, intend being extremely just any party.
Speaker 1: Let's just say if you're let's map this onto a
Speaker 1: hypothetical event that you would normally be going to, or
Speaker 1: I would if I'm going, I'm usually pretty excited. So
Speaker 1: let's say something. Okay, how typical typically when you arrive
Speaker 1: at a party, how much earlier or later are you
Speaker 1: than you intended? Thirty thirty minutes later? Okay, ready to calculate. Yes,
Speaker 1: your perfect arrival time is fifty eight minutes after the
Speaker 1: party begins. That is, that is my ideal arrival time.
Speaker 1: But I'm usually thirty minutes after my ideal or apple time.
Speaker 1: It gave me ninety minutes late. Like they were. They
Speaker 1: were basically like, yeah, you might as well not even
Speaker 1: go because did you put super uncomfortable by showing up early?
Speaker 1: I don't think I put it like super uncomfortable. I
Speaker 1: think I was like I was like within a couple
Speaker 1: of brian on most of these Okay, I yeah. They
Speaker 1: were just like yea, like, look, you're not bringing much
Speaker 1: to the table, Like I don't. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're even doing going to this party. But the thing, so,
Speaker 1: I I had a friend's birthday dinner. It was eight people.
Speaker 1: It was at someone's house. That is notoriously like shows
Speaker 1: up hours late to things. So the hosts were notorious.
Speaker 1: The hosts are notoriously that's a tricky one. I already know,
Speaker 1: I already know how this ends. We also got the
Speaker 1: time wrong with our babysitter, so we showed up like
Speaker 1: forty five minutes late m hm. And it was like
Speaker 1: the scene in Meet the Parents when he wakes up
Speaker 1: and everyone's already like two hours into their day and
Speaker 1: just being like, oh, look decided to join us. Well, well, well, sleepyhead,
Speaker 1: and you know, just like left the Magic Dragon. Half
Speaker 1: the half the comments were about us being late for
Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes. I mean, that's that's in my mind.
Speaker 1: It probably was a couple of tournaments, but it was
Speaker 1: really a thing that like we were super late and
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I was like, why if I
Speaker 1: had a kid, I would be five hours late to everything.
Speaker 1: But they all have kids except for like one person,
Speaker 1: So that was like that. I would have been like, yo,
Speaker 1: first of all, don't even hit me with that, because
Speaker 1: you straight disrespect every start time of every other event,
Speaker 1: and now suddenly, now suddenly I'm supposed to be on
Speaker 1: the fucking dot. No no, no, no, no, please tell
Speaker 1: me how that works. The food, what was the food?
Speaker 1: It was? Really I would ask that I would ask
Speaker 1: that the food that was like major Domo the head
Speaker 1: catering the thing it was dope it yeah, it was cakes.
Speaker 1: Are Domo cater I want to David Chang cater to event.
Speaker 1: I know David Chang was not there, but the food
Speaker 1: was on point, really good. I felt disrespected. And now
Speaker 1: I'm going and you know, my wife still talks about
Speaker 1: like things that we were late for, like you know,
Speaker 1: five years ago. So this is like the next time
Speaker 1: we have a thing to go to, we're going to
Speaker 1: be in the nearest parking lot, just like looking at
Speaker 1: our watches until the hour strikes midnight, and then we're
Speaker 1: like ringing the doorbell. Like it sucks when you're like
Speaker 1: actually early for something, but you're like I don't want
Speaker 1: to be ten fifteen minutes early, so then you like
Speaker 1: try to kill time and then that makes you like
Speaker 1: thirty minutes late, and you're like what happened? How did
Speaker 1: that happen? Because man, waiting like fifteen When you're fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes early, that is such a horrifying time period. We're
Speaker 1: like that ship might as well be an hour. Like
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stand like still and just life on
Speaker 1: pause and then reanimate when it's time to go, Like
Speaker 1: I would do the same thing, Brian, I like, fuck it, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk three miles real quick. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: by the time I come back, it'll being like you say,
Speaker 1: ninety minutes later. But also, if we have people over
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, the fifteen minutes before they're set to arrive
Speaker 1: is like the time where we are like, you know,
Speaker 1: stuff and things in closets and burying things in the backyard,
Speaker 1: you know, like we we got a lot of ship
Speaker 1: to do, right right, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, So it's
Speaker 1: like the early feels like unacceptable, like on time feels
Speaker 1: like early to me personally. But I was wrong, and
Speaker 1: I mean this recent case, but I think sorry. I
Speaker 1: think the reason I was wrong is because it was
Speaker 1: so few people and it was dinner. It was not
Speaker 1: like a party, unopen ended party, you know, right right,
Speaker 1: Dinner things are a little bit it tough because like
Speaker 1: there is an intense to eat at a certain time,
Speaker 1: but a party is too open ended. I'm sorry, Like,
Speaker 1: and also I'm jack. I'm more mad that the people
Speaker 1: who are always late suddenly like they set the fucking tone.
Speaker 1: They weren't the ones who were who were like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: it was more you know, the see then they're then
Speaker 1: they're projecting their frustration at the hosts onto you. That's
Speaker 1: what I see. It's all subconscious. Yeah, I would have
Speaker 1: been your lawyer. I'm like, whatt you shut up? Man?
Speaker 1: Do the best they can. And first of all, the
Speaker 1: whole vibe of this house is that lateness is okay.
Speaker 1: That's like coming to my house and I'm like, are
Speaker 1: you smoking weed in my house? And you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just figured because of who the funk you are,
Speaker 1: this was okay. Also, when your friend stops drinking, give
Speaker 1: them a license to be a little bit late to
Speaker 1: a party. I think. I think people are often like
Speaker 1: excited to turn up and they show up like right
Speaker 1: on time. That's usually the people who were there right
Speaker 1: on time. They're like when is the bar open? When
Speaker 1: when do we start drinking? Your friends they give them,
Speaker 1: give them a little oh yeah, yes, especially when you're
Speaker 1: when you're you know, you stop drinking and stuff that
Speaker 1: the environment is it can be very tense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: need you to have a couple of drinks before I
Speaker 1: show up. That's what That's where I'm at. One time
Speaker 1: I showed up to a restaurant late, like all my friends.
Speaker 1: It was like three of my friends. They were like
Speaker 1: they were ready to get the check and then I
Speaker 1: showed up and then I ordered to follow me. That's
Speaker 1: and dogs, that's baller move man. That's one of them.
Speaker 1: Did the other stood by? Okay those are friends. Yeah,
