Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season two thirty three,
Speaker 1: Episode two of days production of by Heart Radio. This
Speaker 1: is a podcast where we take a deep dive into
Speaker 1: America's shared consciousness. And it is, of course Tuesday, April
Speaker 1: nineteen four eve for twenty baby a k A. National
Speaker 1: Garlic Day. Why is the National garlic that was just
Speaker 1: one of the days? Or nineteen is National Garlic Day?
Speaker 1: I'm not mad. That's like two fucking things in a
Speaker 1: row that I love. We eat and garlic, Like, what's next?
Speaker 1: Pizza on? All right, garlic. I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: a way to talk about garlic that is anything. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that stuff's pretty good. Well do you think? Okay?
Speaker 1: At one time, you know what I gotta take on this.
Speaker 1: It makes your breath stinky. There you go mix that
Speaker 1: with cotton mouth. If you hit a blunt and then
Speaker 1: eat a clove of garlic, that's weaponized. Basically, Wait, but
Speaker 1: this is a funny when you talk about garlic. I
Speaker 1: probably have told this antifil for because I don't have
Speaker 1: anything that I haven't shared on the podcast anymore. Is
Speaker 1: it's gonna being doing this for so long? But I
Speaker 1: remember mentally checking out of a date years ago because
Speaker 1: this person was like they didn't want to go to
Speaker 1: a restaurant because they didn't like garlic. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: Italian food has a lot of garlic in at on
Speaker 1: and I'm like what, I'm like, I mean there's stuff
Speaker 1: that isn't like, yeah, I don't like garlic. And I
Speaker 1: was in my mind, I was I had completely just
Speaker 1: left the building because that said to me a lot
Speaker 1: of bad stuff. Hm, maybe isn't isn't that one of
Speaker 1: the things that like people with ciliac can't Maybe they
Speaker 1: just said Cilia you no, no, no, she was not.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't even that was my first thing.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, is it like a because I
Speaker 1: know some people their stomachs can't handle it or whatever
Speaker 1: it's like to raw the acidity. And she's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's the it's the flavor. I think she was just
Speaker 1: letting you know she wanted to do some kissing later on.
Speaker 1: I don't think that was what that was. Probably that
Speaker 1: wasn't the weight to my heart. By saying you don't
Speaker 1: like the fucking flavor of garlic, then I'm like, your
Speaker 1: mouth is fucked up. I at one point like we
Speaker 1: had some of the garlickey, like some garlickey vegetables. I
Speaker 1: was trying to get our kids eat, and I told
Speaker 1: them the garlic like keeps vampires away, and then like
Speaker 1: that lie, I will say, okay, there I said it.
Speaker 1: It's not true, I don't think, but that has blossomed
Speaker 1: into me being like, oh yeah, and carrots they keep
Speaker 1: the mummy away. And it's just like expanded out into
Speaker 1: like and I think you should leave now. Now you're
Speaker 1: gonna say you got doubles of broccoli and ship Brussels
Speaker 1: sprouts because it keeps the mummies away. Here. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: like when we're out, if we're eating something that they
Speaker 1: asked me, what monster the food that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get them to eat keeps away? And I just didn't
Speaker 1: have to hang my head and sham you never. I
Speaker 1: feel like other places, other parents lean into the fucking
Speaker 1: superpowers that thing gives you. Yeah, we're we're probably a
Speaker 1: year past the superpowers because yeah, after eight like all
Speaker 1: his vegetables and then jumped out of a second story window.
Speaker 1: But like they're they're they're smart enough that they don't
Speaker 1: they're like the jig is up on that right, like
Speaker 1: they know they can't fly after they eat a bunch
Speaker 1: of brustless prowder. But I would always be like, eat
Speaker 1: your carrots because it helps your eyes so you don't
Speaker 1: have to wear glasses, or like it helps your eyesight
Speaker 1: long time. But because I don't like the flavor. Yeah, now,
Speaker 1: I mean because they're into superheroes, so they want they
Speaker 1: want like tangible. You know that they asked for a spreadsheet,
Speaker 1: that asked for a power point to explain that ship.
Speaker 1: So with monsters, though, the good news is you're you're
Speaker 1: rarely going to get called on that ship because like,
Speaker 1: I haven't run into a Dracula in years. Have you
Speaker 1: done the optical illusion where you can make it look
Speaker 1: like you're levitating for kids? No, I haven't go over
Speaker 1: and I'll be like Jack, I'm so weak man, I
Speaker 1: think I need vettable, ask something all and then like
Speaker 1: you give me like some cauliflying like, oh ship, I'm
Speaker 1: like stand back kids, and I do the levitations two off.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, alright, well we'll do it, because that that
Speaker 1: would work the still fall, the look what I found
Speaker 1: in your ears thing? Oh that I don't want to
Speaker 1: give him nights there, like you keep that demon for
Speaker 1: the away what's flying through the house? All right, well, hey,
Speaker 1: we haven't even introduced ourselves. My name is Jack O'Brien
Speaker 1: a K. It would be won Ak Pachenko. Opening credits,
Speaker 1: fan boy, that ship is dope. If anybody's watching that show,

Speaker 1: some shows they don't want you to talk. That was
Speaker 1: good sometimes a little something I guessed recently on another
Speaker 1: show and I looked down the whole time they were
Speaker 1: doing the opener because like in my mind, I was
Speaker 1: like backstage or some ship. It it's the ship that
Speaker 1: these are weird zoom habits I have. Now I was
Speaker 1: in a room with these people too, so I just
Speaker 1: wasn't used to be So I was like this the
Speaker 1: whole time they did their opening, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what's up everybody? Yeah, you're just it's telling God speak
Speaker 1: through you, you know, yeah, exact And also who does
Speaker 1: that with the hat and they like come, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm picturing like Michael Jackson coming like up from
Speaker 1: the ground with his head down. I mean, everybody does
Speaker 1: the low brim. I mean that that might have just
Speaker 1: been a very dramatic intro, like you were just frozen,

Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, alright, do you have an NBA team?
Speaker 1: I am a fan of the Washington Wizards. Okay, stay
Speaker 1: tuned for our third consecutive ninth pick in the draft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that ninth spot though, I feel like they've done some
Speaker 1: good players. And there Dirk was Dirk nine, Dirk, Dirk
Speaker 1: was somewhere around there, low lottery and you know, really
Speaker 1: is good. I like our guy Ruy. Yeah. Yeah, obviously
Speaker 1: shouts to my black knees people up there, come on.

Speaker 1: if they're on, they're black knees, like I got to
Speaker 1: gotta gotta got him glove. Yeah. Absolutely. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of the things that we're talking about later on
Speaker 1: the episode. We're gonna be talking about Greg Abbott's ray
Speaker 1: says political theater. We're gonna be talking about Florida rejecting
Speaker 1: fifty four math books because some had critical race theory
Speaker 1: in them math books. That's of the books submitted for
Speaker 1: a review, so they we don't have details on what
Speaker 1: they saw in there. But you don't need them. You
Speaker 1: don't need them even just trust them on this trust man.
Speaker 1: They were doing some critical race that math book. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the concept of cabin fever, whether we
Speaker 1: have it as a nation. So all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Jim and I we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Uh? My search
Speaker 1: history kind of boring lately. I just I searched Adidas yesterday,
Speaker 1: just just the words just what's up with them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just saying what they was up to? Easter suits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was looking at she was looking at up the
Speaker 1: tan Obama. Yeah. I think mostly what I'm say it
Speaker 1: is closed. The weirdest thing I searched is Geno Green
Speaker 1: Global shirt. Do you remember these shirts from the it's
Speaker 1: like late nineties, early two thousands. All the rappers wore them.
Speaker 1: They were very oversized and there was a bunch of
Speaker 1: number nine. It was shirts with like every rapper in
Speaker 1: New York. Pappoose had like like DJ Clay, Slay h
Speaker 1: R and p K Slay exactly like they had like
Speaker 1: an exclusive Geno Green Global gear. Yeah. And I was
Speaker 1: in Seattle and I saw a five x red leather
Speaker 1: Geno green jacket. Wow, And I didn't get it. But
Speaker 1: if you it's probably still on the wall at the
Speaker 1: crossroads Capitol Hill, go get you one. Yeah, yeah, rocking
Speaker 1: that outfit? Did you ever get to the bottom? First
Speaker 1: of all, we were you searching this because you have
Speaker 1: three consecutive nine picks and you were doing some memework
Speaker 1: contact official gear for thezards. It's not exact. I was
Speaker 1: trying to figure that that it actually was. Why I
Speaker 1: was searching it. My little brother was like, my little
Speaker 1: brother was talking about he put up a tweet about
Speaker 1: our draft odds, and I was like, here's here's us
Speaker 1: when we get the ninth pick again of Pat boos
Speaker 1: and oh man, I missed these fashions. Put some South
Speaker 1: Bowl jeans on and you're back here. You're never dropping machine.
Speaker 1: Put Fooboo platinum. Oh my god, what the fucking fat
Speaker 1: Albert graphics? Come on, calm. I thought they were back.
Speaker 1: I thought fobo was all the way back when they
Speaker 1: dropped the Fat Albert graphics. Yeah, I mean that because
Speaker 1: and look, they were chasing that Iceberg wave. Because I
Speaker 1: remember at the time, Iceberg was for people who have
Speaker 1: fucking money, you know, because like Iceberg, Mickey Mouse, button
Speaker 1: up was so much money. Then the Foodboo Platinum came in,
Speaker 1: like hey, we can do it. We can do lovable
Speaker 1: cartoon characters too. At the lower price point, I introduced
Speaker 1: Fooboo platinum. Damn I had I had a fake Iceberg
Speaker 1: sweater with Speedy Gonzalez on it. They I mean, who
Speaker 1: didn't have the fake Iceberg backin? Like that was club
Speaker 1: that was like mandatory club attire, Like you weren't. You
Speaker 1: weren't doing it if you don't have Iceberger on at
Speaker 1: the club. That's very true. And the number nine was
Speaker 1: was that? So I'm just I I was not what
Speaker 1: was what? Wait, what did you go to? I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're going to when you're in Georgetown? What did
Speaker 1: you guys go out? Did you what was like you're
Speaker 1: going out clothing back then? Oh man, but yeah here
Speaker 1: and a little budon of a little quarterstip with the
Speaker 1: joint underneath. Very baggy pants but often like Khaki's just
Speaker 1: I dressed like ship Man completely and totally dressed like
Speaker 1: ship was it just like not socially functional? Yeah I was.
Speaker 1: I was a mess right, like one of those four
Speaker 1: years the kind of guy who didn't have pants that
Speaker 1: could go with night shoes. So like, y'all put your
Speaker 1: fund up baggy pants over likes shoes and you're like,
Speaker 1: fucking outfit he pants with like the back of the
Speaker 1: cuff like kind of torn. Yeah, I know it's the animal,
Speaker 1: all right. I was gonna ask what the number nine
Speaker 1: was for, but I think it was just because it
Speaker 1: looked like a lower case G. I think, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there we go. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? I'm gonna say ranch dressing on wings? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that because you are adhering to blue blue cheese
Speaker 1: or I am I'm I'm a blue cheese truth thir
Speaker 1: be be an adult put some cheese on them wings,
Speaker 1: but makes a lot of places with their ranch be off.
Speaker 1: A lot of ranches are watery, now I know, I
Speaker 1: don't I think ranch needs to be abolished. I think
Speaker 1: Ranch at the top of its game is some of
Speaker 1: the finest dipping sauce you can't. But just based on
Speaker 1: the numbers, m h, A lot of times Ranch is
Speaker 1: whack as hell and people are always like, give me
Speaker 1: extra ranch, please you right, move on from that. It's
Speaker 1: time to because you know, a lot of times you
Speaker 1: regret that extra ranch and treating it like the default
Speaker 1: is a a food like you know, like, oh you
Speaker 1: you don't want ranch, you want you want blue cheese instead.
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, yeah, man, this is the only
Speaker 1: thing people need to look out for. Speaking of shitty ranch,
Speaker 1: when you go out to eat and you ask for ranch,
Speaker 1: taste that ship before you just put it on your food, because,
Speaker 1: like to your points amount, half the time, the ranch
Speaker 1: out here is like cut with just nothing, and it
Speaker 1: has no taste. It's watery, and I don't even think
Speaker 1: I'm even getting the flavor of ranch. Like people just
Speaker 1: used to like, where's my white google with green flex
Speaker 1: in it? To dip my ship in? And so some
Speaker 1: of these restaurants are having a fucking laugh, as they
Speaker 1: say in the UK, because you eat the ship and
Speaker 1: the taste is thin. It's not the same. And like
Speaker 1: sometimes I go to places and the only time I
Speaker 1: can discern between the blue cheese and the ranches because
Speaker 1: one has chunks in it. But then even then, if
Speaker 1: I just go liquid taste, I'm like to see this
Speaker 1: is it? This is cut man. They got bacon soda
Speaker 1: in this man too. Much a stepped you stepped on.
Speaker 1: This is in the kitchen right now. The shout out
Speaker 1: while we're here, shout out to Denny's, who does make
Speaker 1: their own ranch in the house. All right. So that's
Speaker 1: another issue that I've seen is when they brag about
Speaker 1: making their own ranch in house. I got. I got
Speaker 1: like a restaurant that I like around around here, had
Speaker 1: pizza with a ranch dipping sauce for the for the crust,
Speaker 1: which I tend to enjoy it, and the ranch was fucked.
Speaker 1: It was like real deal heavy, Like they just didn't
Speaker 1: they didn't have the mix right. And I've like I
Speaker 1: couldn't even really define what was wrong, and like I
Speaker 1: got through like a crust and a half before I
Speaker 1: was like this, fuck, this is so bad. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that. Man, I hate it at home.
Speaker 1: I did. I wasn't like sitting in the restaurant saying
Speaker 1: that loudly, but yeah, I was just like, oh right,
Speaker 1: this is this tastes bad. But because they're saying it's
Speaker 1: homemade ranch, I was excited for it and I had
Speaker 1: a little momentum going in it was it's not good
Speaker 1: like the homemade Yeah, the homemade, like you know, can
Speaker 1: go really well. Denny's isn't gonna suck it up. I
Speaker 1: can tell you that for sure. Yeah, but sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't know hidden Like I've never had a catchup that
Speaker 1: is as good as Hines. Like I just feel like
Speaker 1: Hines has has that, and everybody else is like doing
Speaker 1: doing imitations of that. Like if I hear that there's
Speaker 1: a homemade catchup at a restaurant, I'm kitchen make catchup.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not excited about that. Ranches somewhere in from
Speaker 1: the factory, Yeah, from the factory. Just take me to
Speaker 1: the hidden Valley? What what something you think is underrid?
Speaker 1: The starting shooting guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, Chris Middleton, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you know, for years and years and years,
Speaker 1: everybody was up Chris Middleton's asked, oh, are the Bucks
Speaker 1: gonna trade him? Does the honest needs somebody better to
Speaker 1: play with? And then they fucking won a title and
Speaker 1: Chris was amazing. Now this year they're like, oh, the Bucks,
Speaker 1: and do they even have a shot the Bucks? The
Speaker 1: Bucks won Game one and everybody's because Chris Middleton is
Speaker 1: is he okay? It's like, guys, just because he's not
Speaker 1: hot does not mean he's not the Bestris Middleton is
Speaker 1: amazing and I praised the man at every chance I get. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I feel like there's always like that narrative is
Speaker 1: like is the postseason Middleton's gonna show up? Is who?
Speaker 1: Like which version do we get? It's like and when
Speaker 1: he does show up, which he does pretty consistently, now
Speaker 1: you're like, right there he is. That's that's just that's
Speaker 1: not a question like, well, you know, what what version
Speaker 1: is it going to be this time? It's like, no,
Speaker 1: there's a foundation, there's like a there's a floor with
Speaker 1: his skill set, and that's why he's operating from. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his name isn't helping him. Chris middle with a K
Speaker 1: too k H, you know, because there's any k H
Speaker 1: I think it is. Yeah that I'm like like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I look, I don't give a funk, but I would
Speaker 1: like to just you know, for my own podcast or mind.
Speaker 1: I want to be creative. I want to know, let's
Speaker 1: go further back. The genesis of the name was there
Speaker 1: was there Jesus Christ with a K like that. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like, like, I don't know, there's nothing that
Speaker 1: offends me about his name. It's just I feel like
Speaker 1: his like he's never If he was the greatest player
Speaker 1: of like all time, the NBA would have a problem.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, all right, we need to come up
Speaker 1: with a new name because Chris Middleton. Here you go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean for for non NBA fans, like
Speaker 1: I feel like it's underrated to go look at like
Speaker 1: shooters when they get hot, like because you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of the highlights you see are people you know,
Speaker 1: dunking and just doing wild like athletic ship. But like
Speaker 1: the touch that's required, and like when Chris Middleton is
Speaker 1: locked in, like some of the hardest shots he's hit,
Speaker 1: like fade away three pointers, like turnaround ship, like that
Speaker 1: is that's what NBA players are better at than anybody else.
Speaker 1: Like there's great athletes in every sport, but like the
Speaker 1: touch is supernatural, Like the their ability to hit those
Speaker 1: shots consistently, it's pretty pretty crazy. And then to do
Speaker 1: it again and again, it's it's damn near impossible to
Speaker 1: hit three shots in a row alone in the gym.
Speaker 1: For me, he's wild and truly one of the players
Speaker 1: where once he gets going, you're you know what's going
Speaker 1: In the second it leaves hand. Yeah, yeah, which is
Speaker 1: also fun. Way, like, what's your how are you feeling
Speaker 1: about the playoffs? Who are you liking? What you like
Speaker 1: in or what do you or even if you know
Speaker 1: you like somebody, how do you think it on? What's
Speaker 1: your pragmatic mind? Even say? Okay, so I got money
Speaker 1: on sons for Sixers. Okay, but I think I I
Speaker 1: I think that the Sixers will funk up somewhere along
Speaker 1: the way, like they could they could easily lose to
Speaker 1: the Bucks, or they could easily blow the second round
Speaker 1: to end. Yeah, yeah, exactly, something like that. They could
Speaker 1: blow this rounds too. I feel like people took that
Speaker 1: first game as like, well, this series is over right,
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you for the Sixers. The
Speaker 1: Sixers are gonna sixer Yeah yeah, but they looked good
Speaker 1: in the first game. The playoffs are in full swing
Speaker 1: for non NBA fans, and it was. It was a
Speaker 1: fun weekend, very fun. Yeah. Not only only two and
Speaker 1: a half months left for all you nine NBA fans
Speaker 1: with significant others. Right, we're almost we're almost home. Right.
Speaker 1: I know some people like there's a play in game before.
Speaker 1: Just trust me, I'm not making it up. Like I
Speaker 1: did last year when I made up different games, I'd go,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk about some news. And we're back and yeah,
Speaker 1: let's talk Greg Habbitt. It's been a while since we
Speaker 1: checked in with him and his race to be the
Speaker 1: shittiest governor in in America. Yeah, it's he and run
Speaker 1: Roun de Santis right ahead, constantly trading blows. You know,
Speaker 1: first first you think the santist is up, and then
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott hits you with that no look, and you're like,
Speaker 1: what the how did he do it again? Okay, I
Speaker 1: guess he's in the lead now. So, like you said,
Speaker 1: he's he's running for office. He's got he's trying to
Speaker 1: stay in office again. He's going up against betto or
Speaker 1: Ork right now, and I believe he's leading a Rourke
Speaker 1: in the polls, and he's got to make sure he's
Speaker 1: hitting all the right notes to activate the base, you know,
Speaker 1: primarily doing everything he can to make a fucking scene
Speaker 1: and you know, do the thing that most politicians in
Speaker 1: the United States like to do, which is treat human
Speaker 1: beings like actual detritus that needs to be hauled off
Speaker 1: to the dunk and last week very controversial policies coming
Speaker 1: out of the state of Texas as it relates to immigration.
Speaker 1: So the Biden administration, they rescinded Title forty two, which
Speaker 1: was preventing asylum seekers from getting an immediate hearing due
Speaker 1: to COVID, and once that was rescinded, Abbott opportunistically, like
Speaker 1: most conservatives are like, just look look what he's done.
Speaker 1: He's basically opened the border up and they're just gonna
Speaker 1: fucking walk in with anything this whatever they want. They're
Speaker 1: gonna cut the tags off all our mattresses. You're gonna
Speaker 1: see is gonna be fucking kao US. And now he
Speaker 1: has created, like last week, did a really good job
Speaker 1: of basically making it seem like there was a total
Speaker 1: crisis again, or at least t people who only watch
Speaker 1: Fox News, and to protect his state, Abbott did this
Speaker 1: thing where he's like, you know what, since Joe Biden
Speaker 1: thinks these people need to get in the US so quickly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him on a bus to d C
Speaker 1: and drop them off there because their DC's problem now.
Speaker 1: And this again he said, so Biden can quote immediately
Speaker 1: address the needs of the people that they are allowing
Speaker 1: to come across our border, and people wanted was that.
Speaker 1: Did he consult with the people that, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He made it again. He tried to make it seem like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can just do this because I'm not letting this
Speaker 1: happen in Texas. Some people want to like, want to
Speaker 1: immigrate here, put him on a bus, get him out
Speaker 1: of Texas. That's not in his purview as governor because
Speaker 1: immigration is enforced at the federal level. So what he
Speaker 1: did was find people who volunteered for a free trip
Speaker 1: to d C. Basically, which I'm sure I don't know
Speaker 1: if some people are like, you know what, it's actually
Speaker 1: I got family in DC, like you saved me something.
Speaker 1: But again, this is he He's made it all look
Speaker 1: like look what I did. I got the riff raff
Speaker 1: out dropped him off on Biden's doorstep, because these aren't
Speaker 1: people who are trying to live a better life. They're
Speaker 1: just you know, greedy. Because of most Americans who are
Speaker 1: you know, just so against immigration, typically looking through the
Speaker 1: lens of like their own experience, which is well, I
Speaker 1: already have anything, so for me to leave with me,
Speaker 1: and I'm leaving because I want something more than I've
Speaker 1: got or should get, rather than looking at these are
Speaker 1: people who are merely trying to survive. It's not an
Speaker 1: inherently greedy act that they're looking out for themselves. They're
Speaker 1: being literally chased out of their places with people with
Speaker 1: guns by people with guns. So you take that with
Speaker 1: the other ship he's pulling and only recently stopped, which
Speaker 1: was he wanted to then make the border crossing into
Speaker 1: Texas even like more fucked up by adding another level,
Speaker 1: like layer of truck inspections. People already say the border
Speaker 1: patrol like they already this is it's a it's a
Speaker 1: very The system works. There's no need to add another
Speaker 1: layer of holding ship up. But yet he did that,
Speaker 1: and this basically caused the gridlock to the point where
Speaker 1: the head of agriculture like in the state of Texas
Speaker 1: was saying, like, this is really fucking stupid. This isn't
Speaker 1: gonna stop illegal immigration. In fact, it's only gonna fuck
Speaker 1: things up, and it did. Food was rotting in trucks
Speaker 1: because it was taking some people as much as thirty
Speaker 1: hours to get through when it wasn't that much ever,
Speaker 1: like a like thirty minutes at most. The head of
Speaker 1: agriculture in Texas. If I know Texas, there's probably some
Speaker 1: socialist leftist so that's probably where that attack has come.
Speaker 1: Republicans his birth baby. And he's even out because I'm
Speaker 1: sure because this this is the funny thing, this whole decision, right,
Speaker 1: they've pointed the Fresh Produce Association of the Americans were like,
Speaker 1: because of all this ship that like was rotting at
Speaker 1: the border. There was about two forty million dollars in
Speaker 1: losses because of ship that expired because of this dupid
Speaker 1: fucking stunt Greg Abbott put was trying to pull. And
Speaker 1: now they're saying, and now, so prices are gonna go
Speaker 1: up because the supply chain issues are only exacerbated by that,
Speaker 1: and they think, you know, it's going to take at
Speaker 1: least a couple of weeks for it to kind of
Speaker 1: work itself out again. So with this one decision, Abbott
Speaker 1: created the optics that Biden was ushering in like drugs
Speaker 1: and weapons at the border, then made himself look like
Speaker 1: he was solving a problem, and then the congestion that
Speaker 1: he created was sucking up the supply chain so bad.
Speaker 1: He can now just blame high prices on Biden, right,
Speaker 1: Like it's like a fucking trifecta basically. And you know,
Speaker 1: for those of his instituents who are hearing what he
Speaker 1: has to say, they're like, that makes sense. We had
Speaker 1: to do all that. Yeah, there's a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of high prices going on with the thanks a
Speaker 1: lot Brandon stickers go going up on the gas pumps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people have to improvised their own too. I saw some
Speaker 1: posts on the Internet where people just like using sharpie's
Speaker 1: on things and they're like, you didn't you couldn't get
Speaker 1: the sticker, Like no, just riding Thanks Biden on the
Speaker 1: gas bom. Partially, they're right in the sense that like
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do ship to corporations to make them
Speaker 1: like rain in the prices because of who he is
Speaker 1: and who the Democratic Party is. But it just feels
Speaker 1: like and their solution is Donald Trump or Rond de
Speaker 1: santas well. That's I think that's the beauty of those
Speaker 1: like conservative troll moves or the like Thanks Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: where like he could explain like why it's not his fault,
Speaker 1: but then he has to kind of give up the
Speaker 1: ghost on capitalism, So like what's gonna do, Like coherently
Speaker 1: explain what all the market forces are and that you're
Speaker 1: beholding to as president. Doubt it. So just shut up
Speaker 1: and then you know Barrett rather him coming out being like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Actually it's time to fucking tax the
Speaker 1: funk out these gas companies. That's that's actually the solution here.
Speaker 1: But it's we're not there yet. Biden should bring back
Speaker 1: Thanks Obama? Yeah one what time? Yeah, just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank me, thank that fool dude. I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing. Yeah what year you in? Man?
Speaker 1: You have even no history. It's Obama, not me. It's
Speaker 1: all it always has been. Yeah, since at least the fifties.
Speaker 1: Oh my guys. Jen Saki comes out the Press secretary, like,
Speaker 1: what do you have to say to consumers with the
Speaker 1: rising prices? Honestly they need to We need to be
Speaker 1: looking at Barack Obama. That's what I say. This is
Speaker 1: all Obama. We knew this though, you need to do it.
Speaker 1: I hate to do it. But yeah, isn't the firm
Speaker 1: she's going to work for, Saki, isn't it like as involved,
Speaker 1: or maybe maybe it was a thing that she also
Speaker 1: like had consulted for before. But they're involved in like
Speaker 1: some union busting on some of the Amazon union busting ship.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there there is a firm that, yeah, on
Speaker 1: one hand is like helping like labor like unions, and
Speaker 1: the other consults low key with companies on how to
Speaker 1: bust unions. Think it was that's what. That's it. It's
Speaker 1: like the dude from Catch Me if you can, you know,
Speaker 1: he's like, all right, I know the unions better than anyone.
Speaker 1: I'll show you how to funk them up. I just
Speaker 1: remember seeing reading her statement on the Amazon like union
Speaker 1: unionization victory, and it just read like it was coming
Speaker 1: through the most clenched of teeth, like we're really happy
Speaker 1: for them, and like it was just did not did
Speaker 1: not feel very celebratory, like it's so good to see
Speaker 1: a collector actually working for the benefit of workers across
Speaker 1: the country. All right, let's talk about Florida. So the
Speaker 1: Texas and Florida. You know, it's the red state off
Speaker 1: between the two, and the state of Florida has just
Speaker 1: rejected a slate of new math books because as they're
Speaker 1: making white kids feel bad. I guess I I don't
Speaker 1: even know how this is the most confounding headline i've read.
Speaker 1: So they say that the rejected books quote make up
Speaker 1: a record the hundred thirty two books submitted for review
Speaker 1: by the Florida Department of Education. So of those rejected
Speaker 1: because they quote incorporate prohibited topics are unsolicited strategies, including
Speaker 1: critical race theory. They go on to like define kind
Speaker 1: of like what the problematic things were with some of
Speaker 1: these books, that the submitted textbooks were impermissible because of
Speaker 1: prohibited topics such as critical race theory, inclusions of common Core,
Speaker 1: which is like more of nationalized standard of education that
Speaker 1: Florida is like, we don't want anything to do with
Speaker 1: something standardized, and they also like unsolicited edition of social
Speaker 1: emotional learning in mathematics. I'm okay this, these must be
Speaker 1: really interesting new new age textbooks. And then yeah, they
Speaker 1: go on to just sort of break down all these
Speaker 1: different things of like what materials are rejected of K
Speaker 1: through five materials were rejected of six through eighth grade
Speaker 1: materials were rejected of high school materials were rejected And
Speaker 1: at the end of it, like Rhonda Santis is talking
Speaker 1: about saying, like, oh, it's quote. It seems that some
Speaker 1: publishers attempted to slap a code of paint on an
Speaker 1: old house built on the foundation of common core and
Speaker 1: indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially bizarrely for elementary school kids.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful the commissioner blah blah blah. So again, I
Speaker 1: have not been in classroom studying math like that in
Speaker 1: years now, but I don't Everything was always like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker's you know, has eight apples and you know
Speaker 1: they're trying to sell it for this much. Those are
Speaker 1: the kinds of examples are they now having kids? Like
Speaker 1: balance police department budgets and then say like where the
Speaker 1: excess can go? Caleb has ten black friends dealing with depression?
Speaker 1: How many therapists aren't available on Wednesday? Right? Exactly? Like
Speaker 1: really breaking down things like generational trauma is said to
Speaker 1: last for centuries if this person was born in this year,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, I don't even know how they're
Speaker 1: useful or how they many children will they have to
Speaker 1: have and forced to play basketball for their own dreams
Speaker 1: to feel like they've been fulfilled. Please write that down.
Speaker 1: But this is just kind of continuation of they're just
Speaker 1: now even being like math books are fucking off, like
Speaker 1: this is this is now suspected contraband because a math
Speaker 1: book and again like we're saying we don't we can't
Speaker 1: even see the fucking examples, right, that's right, because it does.
Speaker 1: It does like throwing critical race theory with comcore, which
Speaker 1: could be a very dry, like bureaucratic, like you know,
Speaker 1: push back. Social emotional learning is like at the forefront
Speaker 1: of like you know, childhood education. So I can see
Speaker 1: the Republicans objection to that on the basis of it
Speaker 1: being right or you know, being taking people's feelings into
Speaker 1: account for sure. Yeah, we can't have empathetic human beings
Speaker 1: right in this country. Yeah, we do end up sucking
Speaker 1: pulling up for each other. No, that man, The alternatives
Speaker 1: they're facing so often are like the between these two
Speaker 1: stories are stunts that get media attention while also like
Speaker 1: hurting the people that they're supposed to be. It is
Speaker 1: a service like this, this is like that, This sounds
Speaker 1: like a fucking bureaucratic nightmare to like be this far along,
Speaker 1: have these books printed up and then reject forty one
Speaker 1: per cent of them and then like you got like
Speaker 1: food rotting in trucks and ship like that's that's not
Speaker 1: good for anyone. But it's like how they get headlines
Speaker 1: is learning the lesson of the Trump administration, which is
Speaker 1: just like being very bad at your job in a
Speaker 1: way that will piss off people who are paying attention.
Speaker 1: But we'll seem like you're owning the libs, like right
Speaker 1: to the people who get all their news from Facebook.
Speaker 1: For I'm curious, like, how many you know, agribusiness people
Speaker 1: are like this fucking guy just completely fucked my whole
Speaker 1: month up with this kind of ship. I guess I'll
Speaker 1: support them anyway because I don't like it. I don't
Speaker 1: like progress, so fuck it. I guess it's you gotta
Speaker 1: take the good with the bad. But I'm curious, like
Speaker 1: with Florida, because isn't Texas like the state that basically
Speaker 1: runs the board for fucking all textbooks, like because of
Speaker 1: their outsized like the amount of Texas, Like is this
Speaker 1: going to start a thing where like some of these
Speaker 1: books came from Texas and they're like, we're not putting
Speaker 1: no fucking crt in our mouth books, How fucking dare you?
Speaker 1: And now they're at odds with each other. It's just
Speaker 1: a very I don't think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt on the I think the theory on
Speaker 1: the Texas thing is that like they because they make
Speaker 1: such big purchasing decisions, it's like they're thinking about, like
Speaker 1: you know, any sort of business. There's these people who
Speaker 1: are making textbooks and they are getting approved by this
Speaker 1: like one board at the state level, and so you know,
Speaker 1: you like the way that a Hollywood studio is going
Speaker 1: to be like, well, we don't want to piss off
Speaker 1: China with our like Marvel Movie, are gay Dumbledore? Right exactly?
Speaker 1: The textbookmakers are are that way with big states like Texas.
Speaker 1: And I'm also assuming Florida, Like Florida is a massive
Speaker 1: state with a massive population. So yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think it holds like across that, like they're going to
Speaker 1: be heavily influential. And it's almost like capitalism doesn't work
Speaker 1: if you have like these systems where it's just like
Speaker 1: what whatever the biggest market says, like that's that's who
Speaker 1: we have to please. There else we're gonna like go
Speaker 1: have all these books that we have to trash and
Speaker 1: like reprint. Mm hmm, yeah, it just it sounds sounds bad.
Speaker 1: They just started being like Donald Trump only needs five
Speaker 1: Electoral College votes to win the presidency and they're just like,
Speaker 1: that's how they're going to realign, like the textbooks to
Speaker 1: just reinforce that kind of ship, and they, I don't know,
Speaker 1: yeh mhmm. Yeah, well we'll see what the future is.
Speaker 1: I mean, like it's it's it's just it's just wild
Speaker 1: to even look at now in they're even vilifying math
Speaker 1: books like if they can't, well that's how they get you.
Speaker 1: It's about time we was done with math as a
Speaker 1: country anyway, right, let's just stop pretending math. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like and that's like it kind of feels like
Speaker 1: a very American cultural thing to be. Like I saw
Speaker 1: a tweet that blow up yesterday. It's like, Hi, I'm
Speaker 1: thirty something years old, and I'm proud to say I
Speaker 1: still have not used algebra like that, there's always like
Speaker 1: this hostility to the math I think in the country
Speaker 1: already though, you know what I mean. So yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: you might, you might be onto something tomorrow. It's going away.
Speaker 1: We're getting we're gonna be done with math like fuck,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, the fucking I mean, we know how
Speaker 1: to use a Cala calculator. That's all you fucking need.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the most math American people like
Speaker 1: to engage with, which is like, why do I need
Speaker 1: to know this? If I can put this mental thing
Speaker 1: onto my device or whatever. You never know when you're
Speaker 1: gonna be out in the woods. You know, your devices
Speaker 1: are gonna be out of batteries and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to do long division to save your life doing remainders
Speaker 1: on some bark. Yeah, I feel like that is like
Speaker 1: everything I needed to know about like adult life. You
Speaker 1: you learned from like your teachers not letting you use
Speaker 1: calculators on math tests. Like it's like, well I had
Speaker 1: to do it this way, and it's like, oh so
Speaker 1: we'll we'll never get student loan debt forgiven? Will well?
Speaker 1: You know, but no, Jack, just wait for the polls,
Speaker 1: wait for the polls to drop low enough, and you know,
Speaker 1: big Daddy Biden's in a smoke bomb that fucking student
Speaker 1: that ship to try and you know, salvagees on as.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the only time we're going to
Speaker 1: see ship like this. What percentage you think he's waiting for?
Speaker 1: You think he's like high twenties, and then you can
Speaker 1: be like, I mean because what it's been pushed to August,
Speaker 1: and that's giving you with three months a couple of
Speaker 1: months before the election. I don't know, because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, the thing they're always contending against is like
Speaker 1: the memory of of American voters, where it's like you
Speaker 1: could have done ship like literally like three months before
Speaker 1: the election, people like I don't know, was it whose president?
Speaker 1: I don't know where you could like do that good
Speaker 1: thing and then like use that to create momentum to
Speaker 1: do more good things instead of just everybody thinking we
Speaker 1: have to stop talking about good things because good things
Speaker 1: to us means completely dismantling capitalism. You know, So they
Speaker 1: can't do too many good things because they're like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean, like you've broke people like a piece
Speaker 1: no funk that I'm just talking about if we're talking
Speaker 1: about electoral politics, I'm just talking about things that would
Speaker 1: make him incredibly popular, right. But that's the thing I mean,
Speaker 1: like that's what we always see, right, even like we're
Speaker 1: talking about student debt. There's this recent article talking about
Speaker 1: how he had, you know, his advisor's research, what he
Speaker 1: was capable of doing through by executive order to really
Speaker 1: for student debt relief. He got the answer in early
Speaker 1: April and has not told people, like, has not been
Speaker 1: forthcoming with what the findings were of that, and that's
Speaker 1: everyone's like telling, yea, But meanwhile, you're just causing untold
Speaker 1: amounts of stress because you're playing a fucking game to
Speaker 1: be old, oldest man in a shitty house. Right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back talk cabin fever,
Speaker 1: and we're back. So there's there's kind of a broad
Speaker 1: consensus among scientists and anyone who flown on a passenger
Speaker 1: plane over the past twelve months that people don't know
Speaker 1: how to act anymore. And like there there's the thick
Speaker 1: of the children take off your masks like kind of
Speaker 1: thing that I feel like every time I hear it.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of like right wing creeps who think
Speaker 1: everyone on the left is a is like trying to
Speaker 1: steal their kid and like as a child like trafficker
Speaker 1: or some ship. But I do think that there's got
Speaker 1: to be something to like kids not seeing faces for
Speaker 1: a healthy chunk of their development mixed in with the
Speaker 1: isolation of lockdown periods, like it has to have an impact, right,
Speaker 1: Like in the same way that like the movies and
Speaker 1: TV I watched as a kid to have an impact
Speaker 1: like that, ship has to have an impact, like that's
Speaker 1: just ship. They're taken off. I mean it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we think developmental experts have said, like, you're not
Speaker 1: if kids aren't seeing the full range of emotions because
Speaker 1: they only see like half a face, that can that's
Speaker 1: not optimal. I don't know exactly what the full like
Speaker 1: what the fallout exactly is, but no, I mean I've
Speaker 1: heard that before you and I feel like kids coming
Speaker 1: out of college to like some of the ship they
Speaker 1: had to put up with with like being in dorms
Speaker 1: and then like the lockdown protocols on college campuses and
Speaker 1: that being enforced by you know, often very shitty institutions
Speaker 1: like that don't have your best interests in mind. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels it feels like not a great
Speaker 1: situation mentally, And I don't know, I hear it raised
Speaker 1: like everywhere from the you know, Will Smith slapping Chris
Speaker 1: Rock to coverage of sports too. Yeah, just like everywhere.
Speaker 1: Well Will Smith was losing his mind before COVID, So right,
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, we can mark that
Speaker 1: at about team really, but it is feel it does
Speaker 1: know there is that. I mean, I've experienced it myself.
Speaker 1: The first thing I had, one of the first public
Speaker 1: things I did out of like Lockdown, I got reprimanded
Speaker 1: by the Staples Center to security staff because I was
Speaker 1: didn't know how to stop yelling at the top of
Speaker 1: my lungs harassing players. And I did. I definitely every
Speaker 1: time I've done, like I just saw a movie for them.
Speaker 1: I went to the movie theater over the weekend. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I did. What did? Oh it's looking amazing.
Speaker 1: But like even there, when I find myself doing these things,
Speaker 1: there's this like weird energy that comes over me, like
Speaker 1: an excitement or something like I feel like a kid
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And I don't know if it's excitement.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's cabin fever, but my body
Speaker 1: knows like, oh, you're doing that old ship again. M hm,
Speaker 1: Like you're you're out there, You're you're you're doing some
Speaker 1: like we're doing nineteen type stuff. And I do feel
Speaker 1: that there is I I know there's some kind of
Speaker 1: energy swirling in the back. I don't know what it is, though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's this like there's an article and and cb I
Speaker 1: or the nih dot Gov where they like kind of
Speaker 1: went through a handful of different things on this subject,
Speaker 1: and they come out and say, like, it's not a
Speaker 1: medic it's not a medically defined condition. It's a folk
Speaker 1: syndrome commonly understood to refer to a bunch of different,
Speaker 1: you know, symptoms like anxiety, irritability, moodiness, boredom. The thing
Speaker 1: about like it feeling like you're a kid, because like
Speaker 1: you're just coming coming in fresh like that. That seems
Speaker 1: to like I had I've witnessed things on like an airplane,
Speaker 1: for instance, a woman sitting next to me, who, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just seemed like, all of a sudden, very like
Speaker 1: childlike and like chatty, and but also like it was
Speaker 1: like I don't know, just it was like everything that
Speaker 1: went through her mind was coming out of her mouth
Speaker 1: to like everyone too, and it was it was very
Speaker 1: close to becoming a situation where like I was gonna
Speaker 1: witness somebody firsthand get like taped to their seat which ship,
Speaker 1: which seems to be a trend that they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just how we deal with this now. And
Speaker 1: it would have been funnier, but you know, it's it's scary, man.
Speaker 1: You know your kids are right there seeing somebody like
Speaker 1: almost get into a fist fight with somebody who thought
Speaker 1: they think like I think looked wrong at them or
Speaker 1: some ship and yeah as wild. But anyways, this ni
Speaker 1: H article, I don't know, it's like pull some things together.
Speaker 1: Just like that, we're seeing like a rise in loneliness
Speaker 1: and anxiety and depression and self harm and suicide attempts.
Speaker 1: But but that ship, like much like will Smith, like
Speaker 1: that that ship was already like going going in that
Speaker 1: direction problems, right Like, So I don't know, I I
Speaker 1: think something they're not really pulling in at least in
Speaker 1: this survey. Maybe it like comes out in the individual
Speaker 1: articles that they're referring to that I did not pay for.
Speaker 1: But we are already in a period of profound loneliness
Speaker 1: due to the fact that like all of our social networks,
Speaker 1: like social groups, like the things that used to define
Speaker 1: you know, human interaction and have been like infiltrated by
Speaker 1: social media and like branding and marketing like that, right
Speaker 1: that has poisoned the well to a large degree that
Speaker 1: I think we're only slowly like kind of coming to
Speaker 1: terms with. Yeah, it's it feels like, yeah, like the
Speaker 1: same kind of stories where like you're saying, is this
Speaker 1: really like I get that the pandemics exacerbating things, but
Speaker 1: are we, like is what are we focusing on a
Speaker 1: like one segment of a larger thing. You know, I
Speaker 1: would say we are like fail the most recent chunk
Speaker 1: of a bigger problem, which is like all of these
Speaker 1: like societal ills people are experiencing. And the then and
Speaker 1: Ich article has like the you know, technocrat like kind
Speaker 1: of positive spin where it's like, fortunately, we know that
Speaker 1: there are several potentially antidotes to cabin fever, but it's
Speaker 1: like accessing outdoor space, you know, social connectedness, working as
Speaker 1: a crew, setting goals and purpose for each day, like
Speaker 1: some pretty standard things that like you hear in mental
Speaker 1: health literature, but the the idea that like social connectedness
Speaker 1: and accessing outdoor space are like two of the keys
Speaker 1: to defeating this. And we live in the United States
Speaker 1: of America where like that is almost like prohibited, Like
Speaker 1: it's just so our cities have been built in concrete
Speaker 1: to not have like great outdoor spaces. They've been built
Speaker 1: with scrodes, and and now we have this capitalist, technocratic
Speaker 1: world where they there isn't social connectedness like in the
Speaker 1: way that I think humans were meant to have, and
Speaker 1: that's already like fucking us up. Man, we all should
Speaker 1: have came out of lockdown wearing Fedora's. Like if everybody
Speaker 1: did it, it would have been so much easier to
Speaker 1: make friends again, you know what I'm saying, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: to be sure for Dora, Oh I got mine over
Speaker 1: you know, Hatland or whatever. You no judgment. Yeah, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good for Dora too. Before we're like you'd
Speaker 1: see a fedor in like this Fedora wear motherfucker. But
Speaker 1: now you're like, oh, a fellow human. Yeah, if Biden
Speaker 1: had met shipped us one for Dora had with Team
Speaker 1: one mask COVID testament side. Yeah, it's funny, Like so
Speaker 1: often I find myself like during this, you know, when
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like come up with solutions to help
Speaker 1: the version of society we find ourselves in, I'm like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's authoritarianism. However, authoritarianism to make everybody wear Fedora's. Like
Speaker 1: I feel like that that's not gonna your life and
Speaker 1: get behind that. See what I'm saying, Shift the focus right,
Speaker 1: low stakes authoritarianism, Yeah, exactly. Look, then that's how it
Speaker 1: starts cut to us or like, and then the three
Speaker 1: have decided we must give our blood every Thursday. It
Speaker 1: started office, just give everybody a go, and now we're
Speaker 1: eating your fucking brain. Thank you. Next thing, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is I mean, I it's it is wild that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're saying the solutions to something that feels so broad,
Speaker 1: like you increase loneliness and isolation or whatever, and people
Speaker 1: are feeling more anxious and like you're saying, it's they're
Speaker 1: really they're just being like, hey, man, get off the
Speaker 1: fucking phone and computer and TV. Go fucking talk to somebody.
Speaker 1: Go outside, experience what it's like to walk by a
Speaker 1: stranger and they're not trying to stab you. Okay, So
Speaker 1: you can begin to give yourself new data to say,
Speaker 1: I don't live in a fucking terrible place where like
Speaker 1: everything is after me all the time. I mean on
Speaker 1: some levels, sure, but in that in that broad like, well,
Speaker 1: everything I've seen on the news says it's all funked up,
Speaker 1: Like go out there, experienced the world, And that's really
Speaker 1: what I'm all I'm seeing from here is the antidote
Speaker 1: to all of this is connect again. Without the help
Speaker 1: of technology, because that's the thing, that's the part that's
Speaker 1: atrophying rapidly, like in all people, or it could be.
Speaker 1: Uh So the author of this ni H survey also
Speaker 1: offers uh they said. One example of creative upstream campaign
Speaker 1: to support young people's mental health is lunch in February
Speaker 1: this year and it's called What's Up with Everyone? I
Speaker 1: lead this project with the Academy Award winning filmmaker behind
Speaker 1: Wallace and Grommet and Sewn the Sheep, very talented person,
Speaker 1: alongside diverse academic, clinical, and charitable partners. Aimed at seventeen
Speaker 1: to twenty four year olds, but also accessible to a
Speaker 1: younger adrenge, it comp is five animated stories dealing with
Speaker 1: life challenges that young people told us they found tricky.
Speaker 1: Just now, so like, you know, look for the helpers.
Speaker 1: Support the helpers. I appreciate them helping. This feels, you know,
Speaker 1: a little inadequate to what we're talking about. And also,
Speaker 1: you know, any like community funded projects, the or like
Speaker 1: government funded projects, like the heart in the right place.
Speaker 1: You know, the heart's in the right place. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what's important. But I think we're missing like when we're
Speaker 1: trying to investigate like how we talk more, you know,
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty four, I never shared a single fucking
Speaker 1: thing I was actually feeling with anybody. Look at that
Speaker 1: age seventeen and twenty four, because like, I feel like
Speaker 1: the evolution of getting in touch with your emotions is
Speaker 1: like ship happens to you when your kid or whatever.
Speaker 1: You have your traumas that if you're like, get into
Speaker 1: substance use, that ends up like being the fucking fuel
Speaker 1: tank that powers you through your winies. And you're like, no, man,
Speaker 1: as long as I keep like getting funked up, like
Speaker 1: I think I might burn some of this trauma off,
Speaker 1: and then you don't wear shitty khaki is exactly, and
Speaker 1: then way too long, for way too long exactly, you
Speaker 1: get then you reach that age where it's no longer
Speaker 1: cute to be partying all the time, and then you
Speaker 1: really have to start asking your friend group. You're like, yo,
Speaker 1: I think they got a problem. But but in your
Speaker 1: mid twenties, that ship didn't look like a problem. It
Speaker 1: looked like a good time. And then with a little
Speaker 1: bit of self awareness some help, like your thirties, if
Speaker 1: you're lucky, you're like, hey man, you're good right like
Speaker 1: and like also like, it's not weird for me to
Speaker 1: ask you that, like, and it's not being like, yo,
Speaker 1: why are you fucking asking me that? Like that we're
Speaker 1: all at a place of emotional maturity where I can
Speaker 1: just merely ask you just to check in and you
Speaker 1: can respond without any fear of judgment. But we spent
Speaker 1: decades apporting that process so long ago. Also, if you
Speaker 1: carefully select your friend group carefully enough, they won't ever
Speaker 1: bring that ship about, so you might need to check
Speaker 1: in with the loved one. But yeah, no, that's that's
Speaker 1: definitely it's definitely true that. There's also a New York
Speaker 1: article that's like from one of their writers who is
Speaker 1: like dealt with Cavin Fever and just writes about like
Speaker 1: just the wild ship that they found themselves doing like
Speaker 1: making prank phone calls to his friend in New York
Speaker 1: like at two in the morning and like not realizing
Speaker 1: it was weird until like, you know, ten years later
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, wow, I was really struggling with
Speaker 1: Cavin Fever. But one of the you know, like I
Speaker 1: feel like a New York article written in you know,
Speaker 1: a lively literate style or literary style, it is probably
Speaker 1: better suited to like diagnosing folk maladies than maybe this
Speaker 1: like ni h like medical survey. But the one thing
Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting was that like the version,
Speaker 1: like the very uniquely American version of like Christianity and Jesus,
Speaker 1: like where Jesus like walks with me and talks with
Speaker 1: me and is like, you know, your own personal Jesus
Speaker 1: to quote a song was invented at camp meetings by
Speaker 1: frontier sufferers of cabin fever, and like, I find that
Speaker 1: interesting because like that that feels like how things actually evolve,
Speaker 1: Like how we deal with trauma is not that we
Speaker 1: as a society diagnose it and then like move uniformly
Speaker 1: in a direction of a cure. And instead we create
Speaker 1: our own cultural and you know, spiritual remedies that are
Speaker 1: often bizarre, maybe embarrassing coping mechanisms, but they become useful
Speaker 1: and then get digested and then echoed down over generations.
Speaker 1: And he also points to like many characters and like
Speaker 1: thinkers from literature, like you know, Henry David Thurreau, who
Speaker 1: Americans really really feel was basically like cabin fever was
Speaker 1: like his writing style or his like writing process was
Speaker 1: like giving himself cabin fever and then writing writing down
Speaker 1: all the thoughts that occurred occurred to them. Well, our
Speaker 1: folk maladies now are fucking terrible. So yes, when Q
Speaker 1: and on that goes into the next century. And that
Speaker 1: was coming out of time when the people so confused
Speaker 1: as to what was happening around them that they fled
Speaker 1: to four chan. Yeah I really Oh fuck, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well I guess we'll see that when the annual gathering
Speaker 1: in Dallas and Deely Plaza to a wait to wait
Speaker 1: to return to jfk uh happens and everyone's being like,
Speaker 1: and then this is when Donald Trump will become president
Speaker 1: like he died seventy years ago. Grandma m hm, who knows,
Speaker 1: We'll see, yeah, who who does know? Really, I'm just
Speaker 1: excited to see what happens with Porno next. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: kind of just where I'm focused in the future. Yeah, no, really,
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like the next the next big
Speaker 1: thing is that they have to actually like legalize sex
Speaker 1: work to allow like the free flow of like capital,
Speaker 1: you know, so everything's not like well vs are MasterCard
Speaker 1: doesn't want to handle that, but they'll surely watch your
Speaker 1: other ill gotten gains through their financial businesses. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean sports gambling. You know, of course those are
Speaker 1: gonna come first because they don't involve like puritanicalness like
Speaker 1: prohibitions on sex, which obviously is like the most American
Speaker 1: of impulses. But eventually, you know, capitalism is gonna swallow everything,
Speaker 1: so that that'll probably get swept in there too. And
Speaker 1: also as people become more and more lonely and can
Speaker 1: only interact with other people via like algorithms that are
Speaker 1: driven by like marketing firms, then you know that that
Speaker 1: might also be how people find partners. That convergence would
Speaker 1: actually be that we're dealing with all this data we've
Speaker 1: gathered on every single human being who uses the Internet,
Speaker 1: and you couple that with sports betting, and then people
Speaker 1: will take like someone's data that they have and then
Speaker 1: bet if they die alone or not. And like that's
Speaker 1: our new like our new Vegas sports book. It's like
Speaker 1: you see the new book. It's like, you know, I
Speaker 1: think two to three seven oh eight is going to
Speaker 1: have one kid, then get divorced, then remarry to someone
Speaker 1: from their high school based on what I'm seeing here,
Speaker 1: and like, man, are you gonna do a parlay on that?
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, if I hit three, man, that's fourteen
Speaker 1: million dollars and I can I can get to Elysium.
Speaker 1: You mean the entire industry of insurance adjustment. Yeah, exactly. Interesting,
Speaker 1: Like that's where we we just we're just like fuck it, man,
Speaker 1: make it a game because nothing matters, and maybe then
Speaker 1: now people will bet on this ship. That's why it
Speaker 1: feels like you know what I mean, like where as
Speaker 1: you say that and everything becomes more perverse, like you know,
Speaker 1: I say things like in Jess and then like I
Speaker 1: kind of sit with it and I'm like, but let's
Speaker 1: stopping any of that from really happening. That's why we
Speaker 1: got to jump on these billion dollar ideas, you know, exactly.
Speaker 1: Come to my thing called sad Kings, where just you
Speaker 1: bet on people in real bad ways and you look
Speaker 1: at their demographic information and protict their life outcome. Sad
Speaker 1: Kings is fired, Sad Kings is great, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: t shirt. The king from the card already looks pretty sad,
Speaker 1: so I guess yeah, yeah, but this yeah, but this
Speaker 1: one's simple. It's all this king is down bad, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: instead of like having the sword behind his head, he's
Speaker 1: just got his hand on the back of his head.
Speaker 1: He's just like yeah, because he was about to ask,
Speaker 1: like somebody for their number, but bailed on it because
Speaker 1: it's just so awkward because he's too invested in the
Speaker 1: digital social media environment. Anyway, sad Kangs check it out
Speaker 1: coming see shirts coming coming from people's lives. Well, Jamal

Speaker 1: see these tweets like there once a week, which is
Speaker 1: Biden's collapse with young voters is kind of mysterious. I've
Speaker 1: heard a lot of theories, but I'm not sure any
Speaker 1: one of them is all that convincing collapse. What then,
Speaker 1: do you say, collaborate collapse, the Biden's collapse with young voters. No,
Speaker 1: not collab voters. Biden next millennial bail out not happening.
Speaker 1: But yeah, everyone like obviously the ratios were just at
Speaker 1: another level. But again, it's so it's just fucking really.

Speaker 1: the reality I'm in, and these people are asking like
