Speaker 1: more about that pretty so, but first let's get to
Speaker 1: our guest today. This guest, look, we always shout out
Speaker 1: her tweets, because the fucking Twitter feed is just a
Speaker 1: fucking inferno of hilarity, so we'd be stupid to ignore

Speaker 1: a cursed website known as Twitter. But also their stand
Speaker 1: up is on point. You may know their podcast, Young
Speaker 1: Old Pod. Maybe you heard of it. Maybe perhaps even
Speaker 1: you've seen them at Funneling Guess, which they co host
Speaker 1: every month, because I know we've had plenty of comedians
Speaker 1: who have been on that show, and I know a
Speaker 1: lot of y'all get out to stand up shows. Or
Speaker 1: maybe again, you just know this person because they're generally
Speaker 1: like all up in it. I don't have wherever I turn,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm seeing them in trades or just
Speaker 1: viral posts, whatever it is. But please welcome the amazingly
Speaker 1: talented and hilarious Dana donalllan. Thank you everyone. Yes, what's

Speaker 1: not weird at all. A serpent Er barrito is absolutely peak.
Speaker 1: I love French fries and a breedo. I love a
Speaker 1: California Bredo. Yeah, barrito a breakfast freedo. I love co
Speaker 1: Fax bringing it bring it home. Yeah, there's smoked potatoes
Speaker 1: that they put in the burritos, like Cofax. They even
Speaker 1: like they even freeze them and ship them out now
Speaker 1: to be really, that's like people dessert something across the world.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit. I had it. Like somebody was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got like frozen co Fax or whatever and like
Speaker 1: just have on deck. And I had and I was like,
Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's still good. But there's you know,
Speaker 1: obviously like when something like a burrito cannot be frozen
Speaker 1: and then brought back to life, even if evanescence is
Speaker 1: there to bring it back to life, not like a pizza.
Speaker 1: This little snap right back. What's your favorite burrito, Joel Oh,
Speaker 1: favorite burrito breakfast burrito? Yeah, definitely, or listen, is it
Speaker 1: Chimmy chunga a burrito we can get into it. It's
Speaker 1: a deep fried burrito. Is by nature makes it better.
Speaker 1: And I really miss them. I used to live next
Speaker 1: to like a little Mexican restaurant Chicago that made little
Speaker 1: mini Chimmy chungos. Y'all this Pete I might have to
Speaker 1: give you that name because I think I might be
Speaker 1: going to Chicago an the one I will. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you have to support them the best, yes please um.
Speaker 1: And also coffee Cake, I don't know, yell, I was
Speaker 1: like one of these weird little kids who to meet
Speaker 1: coffee Cake at a certain point was like the highest
Speaker 1: dessert a black grandma. Of course, he did coffeecake granty
Speaker 1: as a kid who was deprived of sugar, like desperately
Speaker 1: deprived to sugar. I like love coffeecake, right because you
Speaker 1: look at it, You're like it's just a bunch of
Speaker 1: sugar on the top. Like I used to eat that,
Speaker 1: like I'm strusel off the top, like and just eat
Speaker 1: the sugar crumble butter stuff. I'm like that's the ship, right,
Speaker 1: Like why don't we just have that on a plate?
Speaker 1: Like literally give me the strizzle when my mom would
Speaker 1: make it separately, like the strizzle then the cake, and
Speaker 1: I literally would like eat the stristle right right right,
Speaker 1: I'm down to just just sit down with a big
Speaker 1: old pot of stro Oh yeah, you just give me
Speaker 1: like like a brown sugar and butter and like cinnamon
Speaker 1: mixed in a jar. I'll just throw it out. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: exactly like it's it's our new like new teller. Just
Speaker 1: put in the jar. Trader Jills will start bagging it
Speaker 1: and then then then it's a rap after that. Well, Dana,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna tell the listeners what we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about today, just talking about Obviously, rent is
Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous, and no matter what city you live in,
Speaker 1: but there's some cities where it's even more ridiculous, and
Speaker 1: just generally need to bring up again why our rents
Speaker 1: are so high. It's a factor of many things, and
Speaker 1: human greed does actually factor into it too, so don't
Speaker 1: be too shocked when you hear about that. And then
Speaker 1: speaking of overlords way and lords or other lords in general,
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz, who you know, the on again, off again
Speaker 1: CEO of Starbucks. He's back trying to plead with the
Speaker 1: workers do not and he's doing it in the saddest
Speaker 1: fucking way possible. So we're just gonna we're gonna drink
Speaker 1: some some fucking one percent or tears in a second,
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about just again the tickets. They're
Speaker 1: so hard to get websites crashing. Joel is going to
Speaker 1: catch us up to speed on what the plight of
Speaker 1: the ticket seekers of this earth. Um, we'll get to
Speaker 1: all that, but first they know, gotta ask you, what's
Speaker 1: something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I looked and one of the last things I
Speaker 1: started was designer children's clothing. Okay, yes, and that's because
Speaker 1: I am looking for I'm always looking for clothing in
Speaker 1: a side children's followed four team because I'm really short, okay,
Speaker 1: and it's like a little cheaper. So that's what I
Speaker 1: did for I was gonna say, isn't that like, aren't
Speaker 1: you blessed to be able to buy children in his clothing?
Speaker 1: But with your adult taste, like honestly, like I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie, it makes it a lot easier. And it's
Speaker 1: just like last competitive like things like don't sell out
Speaker 1: in a children's twelve oh right, because there's not hype
Speaker 1: beasts using box to size whatever, right, got you got
Speaker 1: you got you? You let's win on shoes to my
Speaker 1: feet aren't like exceptionally small. That's the thing. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of like, I'm I'm a sturdy girl. So you know
Speaker 1: I got I got six and a half. I'm a
Speaker 1: normal com shoe size. Oh yeah, you're you're you're going
Speaker 1: to elbow to elbow with it. Yeah, I'm fighting people
Speaker 1: for six and a halfs. You know, what's the what's
Speaker 1: like the last hype piece of you know, fashion that
Speaker 1: you're not necessarily overly hype but like something you were
Speaker 1: really stoked on getting and then maybe you were a
Speaker 1: little too slow to get. Oh um, oh well there's
Speaker 1: this there's this one designer I'm being so annoying. There's
Speaker 1: a sunder like called Danielle Guisio and she's had these
Speaker 1: corsets and they sold that really and I couldn't get on. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there's hype corsets now there are yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I'm convinced, like all these brands make like twenty
Speaker 1: of an item so that they can be like right,
Speaker 1: right right, I mean I guess that is a good model.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe we should try that with a podcast,
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, there's only twenty there's only like
Speaker 1: so many downloads available, all downloaded out and then but
Speaker 1: really there's only two, and then you do four, and
Speaker 1: then you do six and then I feel like, maybe
Speaker 1: hold on, this is it's an easy way to make
Speaker 1: demand seem really high. Yeah, because I mean the the
Speaker 1: Nike does that in Most sneaker companies do that now,
Speaker 1: and people are like, what the funk is this really
Speaker 1: smart doing? Yeah? Except for bleeding consumers bone fucking draws. Yeah, Joel,
Speaker 1: what about you as less anything anything recently? You you
Speaker 1: were you relate to the drawing? Yeah? Tell far just did?
Speaker 1: And what's it? The olive green dropper? I also wanted
Speaker 1: them the roast beef one has that's like a color
Speaker 1: of color. It's a color wave they dropped, which is
Speaker 1: like a pinkish like like, yeah, exactly exactly. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but I didn't care. At first. I was
Speaker 1: like the name, but then I was looking at the
Speaker 1: color and I was like, I have a lot of
Speaker 1: things that can match that, and I'm trying to expand
Speaker 1: my purse collection. And now I was like, the purses
Speaker 1: to match the sneakers. You know, I'm trying to put
Speaker 1: it together. I need to get my brother's organized. He
Speaker 1: buys the shoes first and then finds a T shirt
Speaker 1: that matches the sweaters. Yeah, I'm not that way I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: click by, and then I'm like what does this go with?
Speaker 1: And what is happening in this space? So it's messy,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I have my purple one and it's perfect,
Speaker 1: my purple. Tell far I love it, Becca, drop and
Speaker 1: tell far links in the chat it's called corn beef.
Speaker 1: I want to tell far so bad? Yeah? Also, like
Speaker 1: what a way to find out that your favorite color
Speaker 1: is actually corned beef and you just didn't even know
Speaker 1: the whole And where do you go with that information? Now?
Speaker 1: Like when you know you're like, what's your what do
Speaker 1: you say? What's your seasons? You know what what's your season?
Speaker 1: What's what's what's the term I'm looking for with fashion? Look,
Speaker 1: I'm dumb as fuck? Oh like are you a winter?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about like that like when people are
Speaker 1: like winter or summers or whatever? Yeah? Yeah yeah, based
Speaker 1: on your colors, that's like a really like seventies eighties thing.
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, that makes sense because I'm elderly and
Speaker 1: the last thing I heard that from was like like,
Speaker 1: I don't think you No, I wasn't, but I remember
Speaker 1: I had a manager when I worked at Conde Nast
Speaker 1: who was older and would talk about that stuff, and
Speaker 1: I was like, the season, yeah, my my mom. My
Speaker 1: mom was always talking about like getting her colors done
Speaker 1: when in the eighties and how it made her like
Speaker 1: not were certain colors for a really long time, and
Speaker 1: she was like I thought. I was like, oh, that's stupid.
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, corn beef shout out. I'm a corn
Speaker 1: beef I think too this this is kind of dope.
Speaker 1: It's like old chewing gum. That's what I would call it.
Speaker 1: But that's not that's kind of a weird thing to say.
Speaker 1: If you're marketing it is like, you know, we could
Speaker 1: go we could go corn beef or old chewing gum.
Speaker 1: That's what it's evoking for me. But I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: it bubble um. There you go, bubble just to give
Speaker 1: it that they see that patina on it, that little
Speaker 1: aged factor to it. Absolutely, Daniel, what's something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Oh? Overrated? Because I was at Universal Studios
Speaker 1: on the other day and you got what No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I like, hold on, I think I think I like it.
Speaker 1: I love University Studios. But we got like he's in
Speaker 1: front of the line passes for the first time ever,
Speaker 1: is called the Universal express and we realized that we
Speaker 1: don't like cutting lines and it just makes it like
Speaker 1: we like like to chat like I like like, Ryan, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. There is something formative of you know, your
Speaker 1: your your comrades when you're ninety minute line for that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what was the experience like when you began to
Speaker 1: realize it? Um, When I began to realize that cutting
Speaker 1: line was not fun, I really was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm excited to come back here and have
Speaker 1: to wait in line again. That was on. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's it's really I'm really missing something without the line
Speaker 1: portion of this experience. Sure, because doesn't that make the
Speaker 1: day like just hours shorter when you take out all
Speaker 1: the waiting time? Yeah, we did everything you want to do.
Speaker 1: It is two Okay, here's my thing on the Universal too,
Speaker 1: there's like two good roller coasters. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so now I have to go on these like time
Speaker 1: times each like it'stainly that's the point, you know. Yeah. Wait,
Speaker 1: So okay, Joe, Well you were like Universal trash and
Speaker 1: I want to hear this take too. Listen, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying before you start, just I grew up in
Speaker 1: the shadow of Universal Studios in North Hollywood and the
Speaker 1: shadow of city, walking on the shadow of that King
Speaker 1: Kong thing hanging off the side of the like I
Speaker 1: get it and listen from outside, driving up, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's about to be lit. Let's go
Speaker 1: like Universal. But once you get inside, is this the
Speaker 1: whole park? Is this everything? I've been two or three
Speaker 1: rides on the Jurassic Park ride from this vents or
Speaker 1: or the why why did you let the O G.
Speaker 1: Grinch set get crispy out there? You all don't want
Speaker 1: to paint that up? Do what it is when he
Speaker 1: will is decrepit that they're still showing it like you
Speaker 1: take it down or paint it, but like highlighting that
Speaker 1: like it's a feature is weird. I feel like they've
Speaker 1: stopped highlighting. I remember them not discussing it on the tour,
Speaker 1: and I think it goes around that good because I
Speaker 1: think they've realized it's too dilapidated and people are like,
Speaker 1: this is really sad. How much would it cost to paint?
Speaker 1: It's not a large set. I'm just saying you could
Speaker 1: make it weird, even the Jaws part of it, and
Speaker 1: especially here's the real problem. If you must go to
Speaker 1: Universal in California, just don't go before you go before
Speaker 1: you go to the one in Florida, because one in
Speaker 1: Florida is so freaking epic, really jaws right down, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. The actual park, it's it's like Disney size park.
Speaker 1: It's Disney size park. You're abed as the versions of
Speaker 1: amusement parks being so much better than California has. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why Californians are are very much like first of all,
Speaker 1: like you have to remember, like Disney built the park
Speaker 1: here first, and so it's very like petite to what
Speaker 1: we're used to. They've expanded a lot. But because they're
Speaker 1: in Pasadena, which is an old town, which is very
Speaker 1: aware of its chokehold on Disney, Nianian is not letting
Speaker 1: you get away with ship. They're like, listen, you want
Speaker 1: to build a garage. Uh fine, we're gonna talk to numbers.
Speaker 1: And I am I on crack. Where is it at Anaheim?
Speaker 1: I don't know my small out of the way yet Anaheim.
Speaker 1: Anaheim has a chokehold on Disney, and they're very much
Speaker 1: about like making sure where that it stays looking a
Speaker 1: certain way. Disney is trying to get some of these
Speaker 1: older hotels out of the way. But they're like, no,
Speaker 1: those are local business people, Like that's a hole to do.
Speaker 1: And because of that, it's small. When they went to Florida,
Speaker 1: they opened up in a swamp. Ain't no jurisdiction in
Speaker 1: a swamp, and it was like, we're just gonna build
Speaker 1: and build and build, and it's fine. We don't have
Speaker 1: to tear down to bring in new rides. I can
Speaker 1: just build up a new ride, and we can also
Speaker 1: just ignore ship if we don't. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: Like it's abundance there. You can't do Disney or Universal
Speaker 1: down there in a single day. It would literally be impossible.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even walk all of it in a single day.
Speaker 1: So I swear you can't. There's too many parts. Because
Speaker 1: you've got Animal Kingdom, you've got the o G Park,
Speaker 1: You've got epcotcomm which is actually cool because you can
Speaker 1: drink there, so they've got like drinks from around the world.
Speaker 1: It's so cool. But Universals down in Florida, like when
Speaker 1: you get on there, like dinosaur rides, epic there um.
Speaker 1: When I went I was little, they still had the
Speaker 1: Jaws ride, which I think they've retired, but it was
Speaker 1: like the most like the shark is in the boat
Speaker 1: as opposed to hear where you're like looking at a
Speaker 1: small lagoon, you're like, that has teeth and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there it is. No, the thing comes up on the
Speaker 1: side of the boat and you think you're gonna die.
Speaker 1: So it's just the levels are totally bigger. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: family asked of like going back every year up here
Speaker 1: are really hute. I love disney Land up here. It's
Speaker 1: very sweet. Like a lot of people are like, this
Speaker 1: is my second homes where go like, you know, three
Speaker 1: or four times a year. But as far as amusement
Speaker 1: and actual fun, you want to go to Florida. That
Speaker 1: seems to be the consistent thing, and I get it. Universally,
Speaker 1: there's that like when you do the backlot tour and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh damn, the War of the World's thing
Speaker 1: looks real fucked up still, and they're like, no, that's
Speaker 1: who Ville with the crashed airplane. Yeah, oh no, no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's neglect that we cleaned up the War the World
Speaker 1: said a long time ago, when that ship first came
Speaker 1: out the World the World set that ship was so clean.
Speaker 1: I remember being like, whoa, I really I feel like
Speaker 1: now I know what it's like to be on the
Speaker 1: other end of American foreign policy. But yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a really cool, uh cool vibe Atlas Dana. What's something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Oh? Um? I think like the
Speaker 1: broad multi camera st com that people that on the
Speaker 1: coast don't launch, but that the Midwest loves. I love
Speaker 1: just like the cheesiest broadest that came on the planet,
Speaker 1: like and everybody loves Raymond Like I think like and
Speaker 1: obviously those aren't actually underrated. They're like they are properly rated.
Speaker 1: They're ugly rated, but like, I think they're underrated in
Speaker 1: like cool communities, and I really like them. I've been
Speaker 1: rewatching like two and off men. Obviously you know some
Speaker 1: problematic elements, But oh, what happened? Is everything cool with
Speaker 1: John Wolf? What's that guy's name that was the bad
Speaker 1: guy of the two? Right, isn't Charlie's What happened with
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen? I don't know. Wasn't he canceled for something?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Charlie? I don't know. I actually don't know,
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying things. Don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: signed major league DVDs that I'm going to have to
Speaker 1: get rid of soon if he is canceled that actually
Speaker 1: I'm not. Yeah, I really don't know he is, but
Speaker 1: I love it so um wait, so so you're saying
Speaker 1: the classics like you're dusting off the classics or do
Speaker 1: you even see any like what you're seeing now, I'm
Speaker 1: really saying multiicamps that comes to like that no one
Speaker 1: watches like the Neighbors on CBS or whatever. Wait what
Speaker 1: was that about? Exactly the neighborhood. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: a it's a multiicam with like Max Greenfeld in like
Speaker 1: Sedrict Entertainer, and it's like it's like just the broadest
Speaker 1: multi caam about a white family moving into a black neighborhood.
Speaker 1: And it's not great, but I'm like there is something
Speaker 1: about it that I'm like, it's doing something. It's filling
Speaker 1: a void, right, you know. It's like the way you
Speaker 1: talk about it, you said it sort of reminds me
Speaker 1: of how I talk about terrible Christmas romance films that
Speaker 1: come out of Hallmark, where it's like, yo, do the
Speaker 1: worst the better? Yeah? Yeah, yes, I think I think
Speaker 1: like as the more the more, like multi caam Like,
Speaker 1: the more that you could make fun of it for
Speaker 1: being stupid, the more I like it, got it, got it,
Speaker 1: got it, got it. So I mean I guess that's
Speaker 1: the other thing too, Like there's a comfort in like
Speaker 1: really predictable like writing. Also, I love a laugh track.
Speaker 1: I'm like, tell me, tell me O. Wait, So okay,
Speaker 1: what's if if you're gonna put somebody onto a sitcom
Speaker 1: right now? What would you what would you recommend? Um? Honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just telling everyone I know to watch
Speaker 1: you watch two and half Man and they don't like it,
Speaker 1: and they're like they're like, stop telling me to watch that,
Speaker 1: and it's dope elementary. Oh yeah, actually, but I've got
Speaker 1: elementaries Like like like that's like this is what I'm
Speaker 1: different than what I'm talking about. It's like we're talking
Speaker 1: what I'm like, Like it's like an opiate for your brain.
Speaker 1: Like you're literally like it's like you feel like you're
Speaker 1: on Santa you know. I call that listen, No, I
Speaker 1: call that depression TV. Yeah, I am way into it.
Speaker 1: My Depression TV was friends for a long time. I
Speaker 1: don't really like anybody on that shows a human being,
Speaker 1: like not the actors are fine, but like the characters,
Speaker 1: you know, difficult to human beings we not want to
Speaker 1: live with. But man, something about that show was just
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna get through the day and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. It's gonna be okay. And if once you
Speaker 1: watch a know so many times, now you know the
Speaker 1: beats of it, and when you can start saying the
Speaker 1: lines with like it's time to get out of that.
Speaker 1: I have to go to something. I was with The
Speaker 1: Office and I was like, like the UK and American
Speaker 1: version of the Office, I would I would like saying
Speaker 1: I would like I could like like you're saying, you
Speaker 1: know the beats of it to the point like I
Speaker 1: think I'm just listening to music now. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: the Office is music. I mean officely Like I knew
Speaker 1: karaoke in to every episode of the Office, right, you know,
Speaker 1: like yeah, like a man on hinge. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: I can really I know every line of the Office.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is about it. Although recently there was
Speaker 1: that episode where um, someone took a dump on Michael
Speaker 1: in Michael's office and on the carpet and he says
Speaker 1: this thing where I'm like, I've always been like, you know,
Speaker 1: since like you know, we've been more aware of like
Speaker 1: ignorance and workplaces and more sensitive to it, especially after
Speaker 1: Michael Scott rubs me in such a fucking like the
Speaker 1: wrong way. Like it's weird how my relationship to Michael
Speaker 1: Scott has change raged over the years, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is exact problem with these Isn't that the
Speaker 1: point it is? But I think I've I then I've
Speaker 1: I shifted to this place of like I don't know
Speaker 1: how funny sometimes like even benign ignorance can be to
Speaker 1: me anymore. But it's but it's like it ebbs and
Speaker 1: flows because other times I watch it, I'm like, this
Speaker 1: ship is so stupid. I love it, but so in
Speaker 1: my mind, like when people always talk about you know,
Speaker 1: they always speculate like what would the office be doing
Speaker 1: now or whatever, I'm like, dude, this guy would be
Speaker 1: such an alright person. And then in the in the
Speaker 1: fucking episode, he's like, I love Joe Rogan. He brings
Speaker 1: up fear factor and he goes pretty much love anything
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan does, and I was like, Okay, there's an
Speaker 1: exhibit A. I mean, that's that's who Michael Scott is
Speaker 1: for sure. I Mean I always think of the episode
Speaker 1: where he pretends like they have to stay an extra
Speaker 1: hour because of something corporate wants them to do, just
Speaker 1: so we can make sure that they all come to
Speaker 1: his party, because well, I know that you thought you
Speaker 1: were gonna stay late, so you have you don't have
Speaker 1: many plans. You have to come to my party, right, um,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's so funny and crazy, that's sick.
Speaker 1: It's know, no one comes to this party or I
Speaker 1: mean one of my favorites, uh, this Dwight date to
Speaker 1: the dinner party that he wasn't invited to. Anyway. This
Speaker 1: is not a it's not an office podcast. We actually
Speaker 1: have that. It's called The Office Deep Dive with Brian
Speaker 1: Bob Gartner on the network, So check that ship out,
Speaker 1: not this one. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this and we are back.
Speaker 1: Rent high enough for you? Just just a quick question, everybody,
Speaker 1: No good, good to the rent? Okay, perfect, Let's move on. Um, look,
Speaker 1: rent rates have everybody knows, like I think anecdotally, they're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on with rent. If you're
Speaker 1: moving space at places, you're like, the rent has gone
Speaker 1: up at a ridiculous amount of New Yorkers I know,
Speaker 1: or like the rent fucking nose dive for a second.
Speaker 1: And now they're essentially like when with your application for
Speaker 1: a new place, they also do a little strong on robbery,
Speaker 1: holds you at knife point and patch your pockets down,
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, thanks, h welcome to the
Speaker 1: new renter's market. On paper, right, rents have increased by
Speaker 1: on average, like nationally sevent based on one year ago,
Speaker 1: they've gone up seven team. That's when you average the
Speaker 1: ship out. Other places it's fucking worse. Austin, Texas, for example,
Speaker 1: the ship has gone up, Dallas Fort Worth area up,
Speaker 1: And I think again most people are like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck is going on? Like it's not like like, uh,
Speaker 1: it's a fucking building. How is the ship more money
Speaker 1: right now? Is it? What is happening? Why are we
Speaker 1: at the wheel of the landlords and these costs? Well,
Speaker 1: when you look at it, there's a few different factors,
Speaker 1: and I think most many people are very sensitive to
Speaker 1: this naturally, because we're at a point in in time,
Speaker 1: at the moment where gas prices are ridiculous, food prices
Speaker 1: are going up, and most people's wages are like stagnant.
Speaker 1: Uh if not like the opposite of a living wage,
Speaker 1: like a joke wage. Almost yeah, so there not funny
Speaker 1: Congress being like, uh, you could have a joke wage.
Speaker 1: Wage is no longer applicable, you can't reach it. But
Speaker 1: allow you to pay them a joke wage they laugh
Speaker 1: about it. It'll be great. Here's some how about a
Speaker 1: lull wage three cents an hour? You funk with that? Joking? Or?
Speaker 1: Am I? Or am I? Not for prisoners? Not accurate? Right? No?
Speaker 1: I mean we're all we're all, um, we're all staring
Speaker 1: down the gun of not being housed unless you work
Speaker 1: to be a what is it a productive member of
Speaker 1: society as it were. So you look at what's going on,
Speaker 1: and depending on the factors you look at, there's a
Speaker 1: number of explanations, but the biggest thing is that there's
Speaker 1: just not enough housing. Right. One of the biggest things
Speaker 1: that is factoring into all of this is that there
Speaker 1: just aren't like appropriate homes available for the kinds of
Speaker 1: people that need them. So if there's not enough homes
Speaker 1: to meet the demand, that means there's no fucking pressure
Speaker 1: or competition from landlords to do anything about it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Because then they're like, oh, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Like, we're the only few rackets
Speaker 1: in town that have like a single family housing unit
Speaker 1: that is in like seven thousand dollars a month. So
Speaker 1: I guess what I can set the rate because if
Speaker 1: you're not going to pay it, some other person more
Speaker 1: desperate and maybe with slightly more money than you will
Speaker 1: pay it. And I get to do my thing. And
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when you look at how cities
Speaker 1: over emphasized like luxury high rise condos, like for example,
Speaker 1: like l A, we have less places for people to
Speaker 1: live that don't descend from like oligar key. So you
Speaker 1: mean you have these landlords that have us all by throwing.
Speaker 1: It reminds me just like the internet service in most
Speaker 1: places where there's like only two companies, so they're never
Speaker 1: incentivized to have it fucking work because they're like, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Go to the other shitty one anyway?
Speaker 1: Shout out spectrum. That's like kind of like the same
Speaker 1: way it's looking with housing to where people are looking
Speaker 1: at you know, they're looking at people needing housing and
Speaker 1: sort of being like, well, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're not going to pay, someone else will. And
Speaker 1: this is becoming just an increasingly dire situation. And I
Speaker 1: think you know, the other elements to this is that
Speaker 1: construction is slowed down because the materials cost too much.
Speaker 1: But this is the other part. Most people, right because
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, they are beginning to look at their
Speaker 1: own like living spaces differently. We saw that how people
Speaker 1: begin all these sort of like d I Y projects
Speaker 1: at home or trying to make their like home offices
Speaker 1: and things like that. People want more space, more privacy,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't fucking want roommates anymore
Speaker 1: if they can afford to not have roommates. So that's
Speaker 1: also creating just this perfect storm that also allows allows
Speaker 1: for human greed to be a bit distorted or at
Speaker 1: least camouflaged by these other factors. But yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: if I don't know how much things have changed, if
Speaker 1: if if y'all have moved, or your perception of what
Speaker 1: you need for where you live has where you live
Speaker 1: has changed since the pandemic. But yeah, we moved January one,
Speaker 1: which was a great time to move. Oh my god, prices.
Speaker 1: And in the basement a whole bunch of new properties
Speaker 1: had just gone up, and they were like, how are
Speaker 1: we going to feel them? It's crazy And I had
Speaker 1: intense pandemic time, and so we sort of felt like
Speaker 1: we had, you know, our pick and it was nice
Speaker 1: because we had all sort of just started making like
Speaker 1: real people money, so long freelance and uh it was helpful.
Speaker 1: We are now moving again for a multitude of reasons,
Speaker 1: mostly because when you buy a house that goes up
Speaker 1: quickly here real thin walls, Uh frustrating. So I guess
Speaker 1: similar to a lot of people being like, we don't
Speaker 1: want roommates, and we just wanted to be silent in
Speaker 1: our own home, right, you don't want to hear someone
Speaker 1: else having no not at all. You've got a house
Speaker 1: in like or we I've lived in apartments mostly that
Speaker 1: were built in the seventies. There's like a big boom
Speaker 1: between the fifties and early seventies in California, and all
Speaker 1: those houses super solid, like you can't hear anything. It
Speaker 1: was perfect. Now there's there's a lot of property going up,
Speaker 1: but not a lot of information available about like when
Speaker 1: it's going to be finished. I'm guessing that's a supply
Speaker 1: chain issue. But my other concern is so um to
Speaker 1: your point, a lot of it's happening in like single
Speaker 1: family communities where we're seeing a big gentrifica a lot
Speaker 1: of gentrification. Gavin Newsom signed a new bill into law
Speaker 1: late last year which was like two housing bills that
Speaker 1: allowed for denser housing on single family lots, which, on
Speaker 1: the one hand, seems like a really good opportunity to
Speaker 1: alleviate the housing crisis in California, more houses and smaller spaces.
Speaker 1: You know, we're seeing a lot of townhouses go up.
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, like these communities that have
Speaker 1: long been let's face it, predominantly like Mexican are dying
Speaker 1: now they're quickly being gentrified, and that's sort of I
Speaker 1: don't want to be a contributor to that cause. But
Speaker 1: I also need a place to live. So it's it's
Speaker 1: a difficult out here for pretty much everyone just trying
Speaker 1: to find a house to live. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: all he's got a lot of work to do. We're
Speaker 1: gonna resolve this crisis. I mean, yeah, who should we
Speaker 1: vote for for mayor to make it better. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm obviously Rick Caruso. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's gonna
Speaker 1: right into the growth, like I just want to live
Speaker 1: in a free people so much does right? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I mean you look at most people
Speaker 1: who like running for mayor of l A like you're
Speaker 1: beholden to commercial real estate developers no matter what. Well again,
Speaker 1: like one guy is the developer. It's just like he's
Speaker 1: literally developer. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know the places where like you almost don't believe
Speaker 1: that un housed people don't exist. Yeah, those are all
Speaker 1: the shopping malls I built because I work, and the
Speaker 1: l a p D are like fucking this. I actually
Speaker 1: used to be the president of the Police Commission with
Speaker 1: people don't realize that about me either. I'm Rick Caruso, folks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And which is funny because most people who have that
Speaker 1: position for the l a p D Commission are typically
Speaker 1: private citizens, always private citizens, but real estate people like
Speaker 1: whether they had a hand in rejuvenating downtown or people
Speaker 1: like Rick Caruso. Just shows you the relationship between the
Speaker 1: police and private property. So just beyond this though, too,
Speaker 1: Like this is all sort of against a backdrop where
Speaker 1: you know, so many people's financial situations are tenuous, not
Speaker 1: even even before the pandemic, but even now because of
Speaker 1: the pandemic. There's this study that was that was done
Speaker 1: before the pandemic that said in cities like l A,
Speaker 1: where the rent is so high, five percent increase in
Speaker 1: rent could drive thousands to become unhoused. That's all. It takes,
Speaker 1: its fucking five percent to throw everybody's finances off. And
Speaker 1: we're now in a thing where you're looking in some
Speaker 1: areas they're taking you know, we're looking at an average
Speaker 1: of seventeen you know, what happens with the regulations around this,
Speaker 1: we shall see, but I mean until then, without an
Speaker 1: emphasis on like affordable housing, like you know, we can't
Speaker 1: have people can in you to be like because you
Speaker 1: see so many so much of this ship in l
Speaker 1: A too, where people like I just feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's like so many homeless people like around and like
Speaker 1: if there's like I don't know what, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do, it's like you don't know what to do?
Speaker 1: Give them housing and advocate complicated. Yeah, And it's so
Speaker 1: interesting when I talk to people who seemingly have their
Speaker 1: head in the right place when it comes to other
Speaker 1: societal ills that they're like, Okay, they can understand about
Speaker 1: like the proliferation of like police militarized police, and like
Speaker 1: white supremacy and all this other ship, But then their
Speaker 1: empathy like stop suddenly for people who are like not
Speaker 1: doing well, and then it's like, well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like they just shouldn't, Like there was like poop like
Speaker 1: all over this, like Transformer box, I walked the dog
Speaker 1: by all the time. It's like I just wish they
Speaker 1: could just like move them somewhere, but they you need
Speaker 1: to invest in the actual the ideas and the concepts
Speaker 1: that will alleviate people, alleviate homelessness, and not just be
Speaker 1: like it's grow pison. I don't like to see it.
Speaker 1: If you don't, if you really care enough, don't just
Speaker 1: turn it into a thing of I'm disgusted by the
Speaker 1: reality that people are destitute, because I think that's the
Speaker 1: thing most people are butting up against. Like I don't
Speaker 1: like the idea of having to acknowledge that, like some
Speaker 1: people could be doing so terribly and I'd rather just
Speaker 1: not have that in my like my peripheral vision because
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do my thing, but really taking
Speaker 1: that and focusing that into oh, what are the actual
Speaker 1: solutions to this, and that is affordable housing or just
Speaker 1: looking at all the people, you know, the money that
Speaker 1: we've put aside as a city that many residents are like, oh,
Speaker 1: we can't have that, we can't have that in my backyard,
Speaker 1: not even affordable housing. Yet well we're seeing it like
Speaker 1: even in you know, I mean most recently, Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: went on a tirade in his own community where he
Speaker 1: was like, if you build these were essentially Section eight
Speaker 1: houses for people, I'll pull all my money out of
Speaker 1: the city and bounce. And it was like, dude, yeah, homeless,
Speaker 1: this is not a crime, and the fact that we
Speaker 1: criminalize it doesn't make it a crime. Like we have
Speaker 1: to be afraid of people without housing. That's just bananas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think that's reveals the whole you know, the
Speaker 1: game there is if you criminalize being poor, then you
Speaker 1: have to work, right, and then there's no option but
Speaker 1: for you to toil because the the only other recourse
Speaker 1: you have is to become unhoused or not be able
Speaker 1: to pay your bills. And then yeah, you'll begin to
Speaker 1: meet the other part of law enforcement. That's just bananas statement,
Speaker 1: because I feel like there's not that many people who
Speaker 1: don't want to work. And I don't mean like, of
Speaker 1: course most people don't. Often most people don't dream of labor,
Speaker 1: and if they could do something else, they they could
Speaker 1: follow their dreams, you know. But most people have like
Speaker 1: something they want to do. I mean, like most people
Speaker 1: don't want to just sit around and be complain Most
Speaker 1: people do want to contribute to society. It's just like
Speaker 1: in what capacity do they want to do that. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, like do I want want to work at
Speaker 1: you know, like like work at a quick service like
Speaker 1: restaurant or damn would be fucking chill. If like I
Speaker 1: could have a writing career because I'm really creative, I
Speaker 1: just don't there's no outlets for that because I'm not
Speaker 1: in prox pre close enough proximity to benefit from like
Speaker 1: the social networks you need to enter show business. Anyway. Yes,
Speaker 1: these are all things that you know, you think could
Speaker 1: be better managed, but yeah, we're still looking at the
Speaker 1: same situation. And like I was reading an article from
Speaker 1: that was like, why is the rent so darn high?
Speaker 1: They're still pointing at the exact same problems, and so
Speaker 1: you know, the slow, slow boil of progress continues, I guess,
Speaker 1: or at least I don't know. I mean, at least
Speaker 1: landlords are seemed to be kicked up. Becca said, it's
Speaker 1: up in New York City. In some places that I
Speaker 1: see of like people like apartment hunting in the Ark City.
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's a lot for these over over over
Speaker 1: priced apartment like lines, like you can't even get one
Speaker 1: with like regardless of whether you're willing to pain insane
Speaker 1: like amount of money for a really tiny, tiny place,
Speaker 1: it's like you still can't even get it because like
Speaker 1: literally like the five people want this to overpay for
Speaker 1: the same shitty place. Like it's so I saw another
Speaker 1: TikTok of something about like I think it was in
Speaker 1: North Carolina or something like near Asheville, where like this
Speaker 1: realtor was like, this is a house that's going up
Speaker 1: like for to be seen, and it's one of the
Speaker 1: only houses that's actually like at a price that makes
Speaker 1: sense for human beings who aren't like, you know, completely
Speaker 1: like unable to you know, you're just maybe doing a
Speaker 1: terrible loan or whatever. But the most reasonably house or
Speaker 1: priced house, and they were shooting this TikTok, dude, the
Speaker 1: people it you thought, I don't even know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what kind of crowds I've seen like this, like
Speaker 1: outside just for people to see an affordable home. And
Speaker 1: when you when you see that that's there's that many
Speaker 1: people looking for it, go a few levels lower to
Speaker 1: people who might not even be in the market to
Speaker 1: buy a house, but to rent a house. And then
Speaker 1: from there you have an even you know, more ludicrous
Speaker 1: market where you have people being able to set the
Speaker 1: prices because whatever. Yeah, it's really disheartening to watch, especially
Speaker 1: when you consider like somebody was tweeting the other day
Speaker 1: about how their landlord was mad because they were two
Speaker 1: days late in the bank, like tag the landlord because
Speaker 1: their mortgage payment was late, and they're like, am I
Speaker 1: my landlords like head of household, am I might the
Speaker 1: beneficiary supporting my landlord's lifestyle? That is madness. That's why
Speaker 1: I think that's why landlords have get such terrible flak,
Speaker 1: because more people are sort of aware because there are
Speaker 1: people who are just straight up landlords were like, my
Speaker 1: job is to just collect your wages and then pay
Speaker 1: for this property and that's what I do. And then
Speaker 1: because it's wild when you see on especially on TikTok
Speaker 1: and read it, you got like these pro landlord spaces
Speaker 1: where people were like, I can't bove the people are
Speaker 1: saying like, I'm a dick because I raised the rent.
Speaker 1: I have bills too that I extract through passively having
Speaker 1: this property that I may have inherited or whatever. And
Speaker 1: I get that some people inherit houses and our landlords
Speaker 1: and you're not trying to funk people over, but there's
Speaker 1: damn sure a lot more people who look at land
Speaker 1: being a landlord as the way out. But there's also
Speaker 1: like this section of tech talk where it's like literally
Speaker 1: like it's like how to become only onlord tektok and
Speaker 1: and it's like he's like with like little fun music
Speaker 1: and it's like this cute like girl in her like
Speaker 1: early thirties, and she's like, this is how like I
Speaker 1: make five thousand dollars a year with four Airbnb properties
Speaker 1: that I put no money down on. And it's like
Speaker 1: and it's like basically trying to get you also to
Speaker 1: do the same kind of like Airbnb scam. And I'm
Speaker 1: sorry and and you know and why and you you
Speaker 1: can see why that is attractive, right because so many
Speaker 1: people are like scrambling to figure out how to survive.
Speaker 1: And right now, some of the examples you'll get on
Speaker 1: social media are these people who are like young, dress nice,
Speaker 1: got all the consumer items that you know, someone who's
Speaker 1: struggling would probably want themselves. And the way that they're
Speaker 1: presenting their lifestyle is like the way I did it
Speaker 1: was to exploit other people's need for housing, y'all. Uh,
Speaker 1: and this is how you do it. Look for some
Speaker 1: distressed properties, like I see those videos too, and there's
Speaker 1: no there's no real awareness as to what that means,
Speaker 1: Like what what what cycles you're perpetuating by getting into
Speaker 1: this idea of like lucrative landlord or your landlord orism
Speaker 1: or whatever we like, and you're they're not just like
Speaker 1: where is this money coming from? And the money is
Speaker 1: coming from other people who are like working shitty jobs.
Speaker 1: It's just like, but now I don't have to work
Speaker 1: and I have a I have a lambl payment now,
Speaker 1: but yeah, go off with their lords. Um. Speaking of overlords,
Speaker 1: I want to check in with Howard Schultz, who is
Speaker 1: the on again off again Starbucks CEO, as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: and he is again he's fighting for his corporate overlord
Speaker 1: life right now. The history unionization of a Starbucks and
Speaker 1: Buffalo was a high point for people who are actually
Speaker 1: invested in labor rights, uh and equity. But if you're
Speaker 1: in the c suite of a publicly traded company, it
Speaker 1: looked more like when the spaceships from Independence Day pulled up,
Speaker 1: like where they're looking at that and they're like, they're
Speaker 1: trying to fuck us up. And that was and that's
Speaker 1: why we see so much money going into union busting
Speaker 1: and fucking with people who are trying to organize unions
Speaker 1: in their workplaces. So he was so concerned, right he
Speaker 1: came out of retirement to try and reason with the
Speaker 1: people with some of these employees in Buffalo. This was
Speaker 1: back in November when we covered it. There was that
Speaker 1: clip of him like lining like the unionizing workers to
Speaker 1: like people in the Holocaust who are sharing a blanket
Speaker 1: to like keep themselves from not dying in the freezing cold.
Speaker 1: And he's like, and that's what we're trying to do
Speaker 1: with Starbucks is share the blanket as a way to
Speaker 1: be like, so you don't have to unionize where you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, who are the Holocaust victims in this metaphor?
Speaker 1: Exactly what are you saying? So that obviously went to
Speaker 1: the sound of crickets. Those workers successfully unionized. And you know,
Speaker 1: this is like the thing that a lot of people
Speaker 1: who are you know, who are OMG afraid of unionizing.
Speaker 1: They see places like Starbucks that have so many locations
Speaker 1: that if slowly they begin to unionize more and more,
Speaker 1: that a company that hires so many people has like
Speaker 1: such a sort of baseline for what is equal pay
Speaker 1: that affects fucking everyone else in the space. That's why
Speaker 1: you see so much money being poured into it because
Speaker 1: down the road they're like, don't I have to make
Speaker 1: less Moneis. So when that didn't work, he returned to
Speaker 1: his post is as as CEO and he's been you
Speaker 1: know I presumably because he thinks he can keep the
Speaker 1: unionizing from happening. And he had another employee roundtable discussion
Speaker 1: again recently, and my god, this is him getting you know,
Speaker 1: we want to get to I don't see you're not
Speaker 1: employees were partners. You guys are partners even though you
Speaker 1: don't have any stake in the profits of this place
Speaker 1: where partners, right, and he wanted to just kind of
Speaker 1: let everybody know all the cool stuff that's happening in
Speaker 1: Starbucks basically as a way to sort of say, like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop, he said, we'll stop doing stock buy
Speaker 1: backs and we're actually gonna pour that money back into
Speaker 1: the company. They're like making better stores and navy wages
Speaker 1: who knows, won't say that explicitly, and just you know,
Speaker 1: making things nicer for Starbucks as it is. The people, again,
Speaker 1: were so fucking bored at this event that then he
Speaker 1: goes on to be Okay, that didn't work. What else
Speaker 1: can I get these these like really poor working people,
Speaker 1: How can I get them excited about the future of Starbucks?
Speaker 1: Listen to this fucking pivot? Okay? How many people have
Speaker 1: followed what has been happening with n f T S
Speaker 1: nervous laughter? How many people have participated in investing in
Speaker 1: We're poor bitch? Okay for that. Okay, So if you
Speaker 1: look at I've tried to be a student with all this,
Speaker 1: not saying a digital native. If you look at the companies,
Speaker 1: the brands of celebrities, the influencers that are trying to
Speaker 1: create a digital n f T platform and business. I
Speaker 1: can't find one of them that has the treasure trove
Speaker 1: of assets that Starbucks has, from selectibles to the entire
Speaker 1: heritage of the company. So not any entertainment industry with
Speaker 1: solidified characters are stories, way way backed up, has more
Speaker 1: than I'm sorry, the dream company Starbucks. You sound like
Speaker 1: an idiot, And that's just on a business level. Ambling
Speaker 1: ambling entertainment as a production company has more exploitable i p.
Speaker 1: Than fucking Starbucks. But again, this is what he was saying.
Speaker 1: He was Danely's like, wouldn't that be sick? Like y'all,
Speaker 1: like Starbucks is gonna start doing n f T s,
Speaker 1: How the fuck does that benefit these people? And what
Speaker 1: the fund did you think they were going to be?
Speaker 1: Like finally, because what he'll he'll pivot to and you
Speaker 1: know who's gonna get first first swipe with those n
Speaker 1: f T s, y'all the partners. That is what's wild
Speaker 1: to me is these you know, millionaire billionaire CEOs coming
Speaker 1: to talk to folks who make one their salary a year,
Speaker 1: you know, and not ever sitting down to actually address
Speaker 1: these issues, but like talking to them like they're at
Speaker 1: a board meeting. You know it just it doesn't compute
Speaker 1: at all to their daily lives. You're not at all
Speaker 1: addressing their needs or concerns. You're just adding frivolous things
Speaker 1: to a company that they genuinely don't care about. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing you need to understand. If you're paying your
Speaker 1: employee minimum wage, if you're paying and most likely if
Speaker 1: you're paying your employee ten dollars over minimum wage, don't
Speaker 1: give a shit about your company. They don't care. Do
Speaker 1: you have a family to them, they'll have a time.
Speaker 1: They came in here to make sure their kids could eat, right.
Speaker 1: It's from the last story where it will be criminal
Speaker 1: to not have a job, even if they really enjoy
Speaker 1: making their little latte foam are or you know this
Speaker 1: Starbucks is a hub in their community and people come
Speaker 1: in and use the internet and it you know that
Speaker 1: feels warm and fuzzy to them. Like even if those
Speaker 1: things are true, it's still most likely not their dream place.
Speaker 1: You know, most of them are not, like I can't
Speaker 1: wait to open a Starbucks of my very own, Like
Speaker 1: they literally just came here to work. And when we
Speaker 1: make it so that, you know, our jobs have to
Speaker 1: support our health care. When our jobs have to support
Speaker 1: us past retirement, then it's important that jobs do those things.
Speaker 1: Like you really can't have it both ways of being like, well,
Speaker 1: we don't want the government to like support people independently,
Speaker 1: you know, they gotta work, but we also aren't going
Speaker 1: to make it so that work places have to support
Speaker 1: people in a way that is realistic and these don't
Speaker 1: unionize and make us have to actually honor those that
Speaker 1: relationship where I'm telling you we're a family and this
Speaker 1: is the thing, even though the n f t S
Speaker 1: thing didn't fucking everyone laughed at that one. He then
Speaker 1: just fully takes the fucking mask off and hits people
Speaker 1: with his assessment of what workers fighting to have stable
Speaker 1: and life sustaining wages looks like unionizing. This is this
Speaker 1: is his unionizing take. Here's where it gets a little
Speaker 1: sensitive because I've been coached a little bit, but I
Speaker 1: do want to talk about something pretty serious. Oh, we
Speaker 1: can't ignore what is happening in the country as it
Speaker 1: relates to companies throughout the country being assaulted in many
Speaker 1: ways by the threat of unionization. You can't assault literally
Speaker 1: using the word assault for that is actually truly so sorry,
Speaker 1: so someone coached him to say that. I think he
Speaker 1: was coached to not say, please, don't say that a
Speaker 1: sleep like we said aoid the word of salt, and
Speaker 1: then you would you ascribe that too. You're saying a
Speaker 1: multibillion dollar entity was being assaulted by people seeking seeking equity. Wow,
Speaker 1: I want to want be people wanting to be paid
Speaker 1: like five dollars more an hour. I'm like, that's like,
Speaker 1: you're crazy, Like this is the thing, right, and it
Speaker 1: makes sense from the perspective of an olive garden like this,
Speaker 1: if you're used to making obscene amounts of money, like
Speaker 1: every fucking hour on the hour, anything that fucking threatens
Speaker 1: that order seems like an existential threat. Is the same
Speaker 1: ship you saw a white supremacist deal with anything dealing
Speaker 1: with equality. They treat that ship as an like existential threat.
Speaker 1: Black lives matter? Oh my god, then hours, don't you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's exact same response from someone
Speaker 1: in a place, So you know, in the hedge ofmonic
Speaker 1: class or whatever whatever what have you to be to
Speaker 1: look at this and say this is fucking dangerous, this
Speaker 1: is bad, but also to not have the wherewithal or
Speaker 1: awareness to you're talking to the fucking people that are
Speaker 1: looking for a better outcome. And you're saying like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard about these fucking poor weirdos
Speaker 1: that one are like curb stomp Starbucks, but that's like.
Speaker 1: The super wealthy have this idea that you have to
Speaker 1: you have to work your way up from nothing, and
Speaker 1: they're really repulsed by the idea that people might start
Speaker 1: off at a balanced place, even though many of them
Speaker 1: started off like beyond wealthy. You know, Like recently, I
Speaker 1: was offered a gig from somebody who's like, yeah, i'd
Speaker 1: have to bump you down to assistant and work your
Speaker 1: way up this personal wealthy. Their whole existence born into
Speaker 1: like family name wealth. And I was like, as much
Speaker 1: as I appreciate, I guess the offerings to come work
Speaker 1: for you. Like I've risen to an executive status, I
Speaker 1: can't go back to it. I just literally could not
Speaker 1: work for it. That literally cannot afford to go back to.
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, well, my current assistant can't
Speaker 1: afford it either, but she really wants the gig. I
Speaker 1: don't know to tell you, bro, I can't be your
Speaker 1: she can't do what she's doing. And it's just it's
Speaker 1: a complete unawareness of like what it is to just
Speaker 1: try to survive. But again, these are the same people
Speaker 1: who if you ask them, what's a gown of gas cost?
Speaker 1: You know, I read that you're mostly impacted by the
Speaker 1: inflation if you make less than three hundred K a year.
Speaker 1: I instantly felt called out. I was like, oh, I'm poor. Cool, great, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you make up up the enterk, you're not really
Speaker 1: being impacted by the inflation. And so that's kind of
Speaker 1: puts into perspective for a lot of people like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is the difference of and theater k is not
Speaker 1: even touching extreme wealth, right. That is it's it's just
Speaker 1: hard to consert salized how people could be so upset
Speaker 1: about like maybe you can't afford your second yacht, but
Speaker 1: you know, other people are literally just trying to keep
Speaker 1: an apartment. We have family every year. I'm like shocked
Speaker 1: by the idea of families piling into their car because
Speaker 1: it has air conditioning and just driving around as a
Speaker 1: means to keep their families like cooled off. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: disparity is this, It's it's unconscionable to come and then
Speaker 1: talk to these people and play in their face like this, um.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad the Internet gets to roast him. But
Speaker 1: I also think it's like people like him, I don't
Speaker 1: know any poor people, like the poor people. So it's
Speaker 1: like that, you know, people like that day will say like, no,
Speaker 1: you know, I used to I used to be I
Speaker 1: used to be a working guy. Back in seventy two.
Speaker 1: I was working with this guy, this Feller. He came
Speaker 1: from Loos in Asia and we were we were working together,
Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder, and he told me how how much
Speaker 1: better it was here in the US. And I think
Speaker 1: about that, how do I give that to my employees?
Speaker 1: Like that's the weird like a class awareness that these
Speaker 1: people pretend to have. Its like from sixty years ago,
Speaker 1: not like yeah exactly. I also like yelling, you used
Speaker 1: to be able to like rise up a little higher.
Speaker 1: It's like now you can't, right, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: the playing field is so tilted now. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: very hard to know who actually has a head start
Speaker 1: because most people look like they're starting from some kind
Speaker 1: of deficit. But yeah, you know what, Bazos and Shultz,
Speaker 1: they've poured a lot of money into busting the unions
Speaker 1: um at their respective companies, because again that upfront spend
Speaker 1: of spending millions of dollars now to just even prevent
Speaker 1: Like when you even say, dude, that four million would
Speaker 1: have kept those people from wanting to unionize if you
Speaker 1: just invested in them. They're like, no, no, not, because
Speaker 1: then I'd have to do it everywhere. If I just
Speaker 1: do this one four million to completely go outside the
Speaker 1: bounds of the law to union bust, that's more. That's
Speaker 1: better for my long term goal of making as much
Speaker 1: money as possible. Then to have people collectively bargaining for
Speaker 1: a fair share. No join se support your local workers revolution.
Speaker 1: It's happening. It's among us. That's the thing. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I know they're not liking this because
Speaker 1: the momentum is definitely, uh, not with them at the moment.
Speaker 1: It's definitely with the workers and the people see if
Speaker 1: they can win. And the thing is like, like Kellogg
Speaker 1: had to find out the hard way, we will just
Speaker 1: stop working because it's not that much of a difference
Speaker 1: from the way. We'll just stop. So they're like, I
Speaker 1: can figure it out. They're like, no, we can figure out.
Speaker 1: This little ship called mutual aid that can help me
Speaker 1: weather this storm. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back to just talk about man these tickets, man,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Hey, tickets, tickets. Who's got the ticket?
Speaker 1: Got tickets here? You need tickets? You need tickets. Listen.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what we've come down to. If you
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've tried to go to a concert,
Speaker 1: a ball game, a film. You're aware of your options.
Speaker 1: You got your ticket masters and your fan dangos, and oftentimes,
Speaker 1: unfortunately you were paying more for you know, the website
Speaker 1: expenses than you are for your actual ticket, sometimes twice
Speaker 1: as much. It is, it was very challenging as to
Speaker 1: purchase a ticket, uh, to go anyway? It is fucked up. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is difficult. And on top of that, y'all have
Speaker 1: sites that are just always crashing. Okay. Marvel's Multiverse of
Speaker 1: Madness starring Doctor Strange a k A. Bet at a
Speaker 1: cumber Ratch went on sale yesterday, and while marvel fans
Speaker 1: a k A. Me are exciting to get their hands
Speaker 1: on tickets, we once again run into the ever plaguing
Speaker 1: problem of crashed sites. And coming off Marvel's last release,
Speaker 1: which was Spider Man No Way Home, created in partnership
Speaker 1: with Sony and when considering the twenty plus years of
Speaker 1: online ticket sales, it's devastating issue, okay, and it's the
Speaker 1: most important issue of our time. I wanted to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it. Now we could maybe forgive
Speaker 1: the Spider Man crash Cap movies and by proxy, ticket
Speaker 1: sales sites have took a huge like hurting during the pandemic. Okay,
Speaker 1: we almost lost a lot of major theater chains, and
Speaker 1: like Spider Man did, eventually become the first pandemic air
Speaker 1: released to break the hundred million opening weekend mark, which
Speaker 1: was great. It showed like sustained growth for the industry,
Speaker 1: and I understand that because we had taken a break,
Speaker 1: maybe people weren't expecting the ticket sales to be that high. Blessed,
Speaker 1: I totally understand. Several months after that though, we are
Speaker 1: still dealing with Harry Styles pre released tickets for Europe,
Speaker 1: crash ticket Master's website, and even other like smaller sites
Speaker 1: like Skittle, which is a UK based company. It's s
Speaker 1: k I D d l E. Not like Candy over here.
Speaker 1: You know, they received a lot of backclash when they
Speaker 1: were trying to promote a fat Boy Slim Beach show,
Speaker 1: crashed the entire thing. People were being who had been
Speaker 1: in line for hours were suddenly bumped back to like
Speaker 1: seventy place. It is not a sustainable business model. And
Speaker 1: when you consider the fact that the money that fans
Speaker 1: spent are not going to your acts or even to
Speaker 1: the venues housing them, but mostly to the corporation selling
Speaker 1: these tickets, it becomes very frustrating. Now it's not well,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll pause. There. Are you guys? Is it
Speaker 1: just me? Are you guys also experiencing ticket sales burnout?
Speaker 1: Are you enjoying the way tickets are being sold to you?
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, Like to be honest, I've just been
Speaker 1: using the mc app and that seems to work pretty well. No,
Speaker 1: it will crash day one. I spent two hours this
Speaker 1: morning trying to get tickets on my because I have
Speaker 1: Stubbs and I was like, I'm gonna get my Stubbs points. Okay,
Speaker 1: with means I get a free ticket, I get all
Speaker 1: my points. Are you're going for like a big release thing? Right?
Speaker 1: You're saying, like for you, you're you're because you're trying
Speaker 1: to get that that Thursday night. Yes, Thursday Night Vibe,
Speaker 1: but I dinna are you even working with Thursday Night Vibes. No,
Speaker 1: I'm like us, like, I'll go like Sunday eleven, AM okay,
Speaker 1: So I think we're doing so I got you soon.
Speaker 1: I expect that they just went on sale yesterday. But
Speaker 1: I guess what. It was frustrating for me through the
Speaker 1: process of trying to buy through the AMC subs app,
Speaker 1: and they know because I reached out to them on Twitter. Um,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating to be trying to purchase tickets. And I
Speaker 1: understand like they created a QUE system, which they didn't
Speaker 1: have for Spider Man. This night just crashed. You had
Speaker 1: to wait like a full like five or six hours,
Speaker 1: go back try to purchase your tickets. They had a
Speaker 1: que system, which I was excited about. They were like,
Speaker 1: in two minutes you'll be able to buy your tickets.
Speaker 1: You'll have ten minutes, and I was like, Oh, the
Speaker 1: resolve of the issue perfect. I hop in line. I
Speaker 1: wait the minute I go in to purchase the ticket
Speaker 1: and I just kept coming up air Air Air. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's at maybe the app can't support all the traffic.
Speaker 1: I'll go to the website, exact same error pops up. Now,
Speaker 1: why the do you have me in a queue waiting
Speaker 1: to join to purchase tickets if it doesn't work? What is?
Speaker 1: And then, on top of that, because the AMC app
Speaker 1: cash when I went to fan Dango, which does allow
Speaker 1: you to put your stubs card in so you can
Speaker 1: still get your membership points, because the AMC app was crashed,
Speaker 1: it would not calculate my stubs card as being active
Speaker 1: because it can't tap into the AMC site to confirm
Speaker 1: the number. Oh god, so they just starts scalping. Truly,
Speaker 1: it was hell. Uh if you could scalp a theater ticket,
Speaker 1: I would if I lived closer to the a m C,
Speaker 1: I would have just popped over there for a second
Speaker 1: and purchased them at the window. Unfortunately, just play a
Speaker 1: full price on dan Dango. You can listen for AMC members.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't go in and have them retroactively
Speaker 1: attached it to your stubs card. I guess, But like
Speaker 1: three tickets is like seventy six dollars. It's a listen.
Speaker 1: I'm not a parent. I'm sorry parents that you have
Speaker 1: to deal with this. This is so much money. But
Speaker 1: I also just think that we've been doing this for
Speaker 1: twenty years, twenty years of online ticket sales. Why is
Speaker 1: this not resolved issue? Why can't you tell me to
Speaker 1: come back at like three o'clock my spot where we reserved.
Speaker 1: You do went on the phone all the time. You're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna bounce back and call you in a
Speaker 1: minute when we have some time and available. People, they're
Speaker 1: not going to sort it out because you like you're
Speaker 1: saying they make too much money. Well, it makes so
Speaker 1: much money. I mean ticket resales are like a huge
Speaker 1: It's like a huge market. I mean the same with
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, like um like resale hype stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, what's the secondary ticket market look like?
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, well okay, like maybe like ticket Master,
Speaker 1: but I mean like like like I mean there's like
Speaker 1: stub Hub and there's like, oh yeah, why am I
Speaker 1: acting like I don't even even on a t X.
Speaker 1: It's like they have acts you have access to like
Speaker 1: the actual ticket prices. But then like once those do
Speaker 1: those tickets, then they have other people selling their tickets
Speaker 1: that they bought for market value for like four like
Speaker 1: ten x like what they bought it for like that's
Speaker 1: what I was looking for on Lord tickets the other day,
Speaker 1: and like like you can't buy a Lord ticket for
Speaker 1: like under six hundred dollars, but it's still through the
Speaker 1: main ticket website, and so I'm like so like now
Speaker 1: it looks like a t s is charging six dollars,
Speaker 1: but it's like they're not, but they are. It's just
Speaker 1: like I hate it, and he's so upset. And this
Speaker 1: has been like a huge issue, like with especially concert tickets,
Speaker 1: about like this intermingling of the promoters the tickets sales
Speaker 1: outlets and how they are like only putting out limited
Speaker 1: numbers and having like basically controlling the market to their
Speaker 1: own benom. And we don't need time to get into
Speaker 1: the like pre credit card situation where like a lot
Speaker 1: of times credit cards will be like we bought a
Speaker 1: bunch of tickets and to our appressive members the American
Speaker 1: Expressed ship like insane, although its not good enough for
Speaker 1: American Express. They don't like me over there, but I'm
Speaker 1: coming for you so I can get these tickets. It's
Speaker 1: such a problem, but there's some hope. There's a website
Speaker 1: called ticks Are. I'm pretty sure that's how you see it.
Speaker 1: It's t i x are, and they've implemented what they're
Speaker 1: calling waitless technology enables those who even shut out of
Speaker 1: life events to commit with a credit card to purchasing
Speaker 1: a tickets. Basically, what you're saying, there's enough money on
Speaker 1: this credit card, should an additional show become added to
Speaker 1: the schedule. Now, what I like about this is it
Speaker 1: shows both the artists and the venue how many more
Speaker 1: like shows you could potentially do, And it invites artists
Speaker 1: to say like, oh hey, yeah, I will do a
Speaker 1: second show in this area there's that many tickets sold,
Speaker 1: It goes through and automatically you're wait listed immediately to
Speaker 1: join that second showing, which I think is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1: Like if a MC wants to be like, hey, we
Speaker 1: have this many number of shows for this day, but
Speaker 1: if we have enough people committed, we'll just dedicate another theater.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, on a big opening night,
Speaker 1: you pretty much here in all of your theaters into
Speaker 1: whatever the markel or like big screening is anyway. So
Speaker 1: it just things like that give me a little bit
Speaker 1: of hope just because I think it's become too much
Speaker 1: of an issue. Remember back in the old days. The venue,
Speaker 1: well what are they The old days didn't even like
Speaker 1: camp out overnight. To me, I'm like, whatever, this is
Speaker 1: easier than that. Yeah. I remember my dad and I
Speaker 1: went to a tick. We went to Tower Records where
Speaker 1: you could buy where there was a ticketmaster desk to
Speaker 1: buy tickets to see you. B forty and US three
Speaker 1: remember their song Candle Loop Island that was like in
Speaker 1: every like shampoo commercial. But with that ticks or company,
Speaker 1: are they doing it with big acts or is it
Speaker 1: mostly small acts? Because I feel like that's the thing
Speaker 1: that's the piece that has to come into place. I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you're a big artist, you're probably doing
Speaker 1: your tour like a g or something like that, and
Speaker 1: they're already in bed like Live Nation or whatever. They
Speaker 1: have their way of distributing tickets. I wonder if like
Speaker 1: it's going to take artists to say I have to
Speaker 1: break away from this company to be able to even
Speaker 1: do business with something that's more equitable in terms of
Speaker 1: like ticket sales. Yeah, they started with a large, like
Speaker 1: weekend event for something called Dead and Company. So it's like,
Speaker 1: I think, come on, okay now. Definitely is apparently a
Speaker 1: band that has old grateful dead members and new ones
Speaker 1: are like including John Mayer. Got it okay, so den't
Speaker 1: how many Like when you bought these tickets, you were
Speaker 1: not just getting tickets to the show, but also like
Speaker 1: housing and stuff like that, So the tickets were exponentially
Speaker 1: more expensive than like your average concert ticket. But it
Speaker 1: sort of showed like that there is resources for this
Speaker 1: kind of maneuver. So I'm hoping that we can at
Speaker 1: the very least, like we've just got done talking about
Speaker 1: how there's not a lot of competition and like a
Speaker 1: lot of these ticket websites, you know, I think, especially
Speaker 1: ticket Master and Live Nation have a chokehold on the system.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how much competition there will be,
Speaker 1: and so maybe they'll never need to evolve. But it
Speaker 1: just seems to me if I could have bought these
Speaker 1: tickets the same way in two thousand, there should be
Speaker 1: a better system. So we'd hope for and we'll have
Speaker 1: to wait and see, But until then, I think we're
Speaker 1: going to be just at the will of these I mean, really,
Speaker 1: the only other way is just to wait last minute
Speaker 1: and then find someone who's desperately trying to unload their tickets,
Speaker 1: so you can get them at face five. That's typically yeah,
Speaker 1: but then it's like a huge game of chicken. It is,
Speaker 1: but you gotta sometimes have the confidence of one thousand sons,
Speaker 1: like when I went to Coachella in two thousand nine,
Speaker 1: for like, I think, coach Hell, it's a really good,
Speaker 1: it's a really good thing to just like wait out because,
Speaker 1: like I know, I've seen so many Instagram stories recently
Speaker 1: that are like I'm selling for a hundred dollars my
Speaker 1: bottom four, like who wants to go? We can do No,
Speaker 1: I'm waiting till the day of We'll come to you

Speaker 1: I have exciting podcast And he's like, yeah, it's not ready,
Speaker 1: but it's coming, lots of new stuff. Very excited about it.
Speaker 1: A tweet I'm enjoying. It's from rapper Plies, whom we love,
Speaker 1: who brings lots of comedy to the world, says what's
Speaker 1: crazy to me. Ain't never seen Russell Wilson hate on nobody.
Speaker 1: Bro makes his money, He takes care of his family
Speaker 1: and minds his business. It don't get no really then
Speaker 1: that if you've seen a lot of these all men
Speaker 1: telling women how to get men, that they would never
Speaker 1: date you in a million years. In the first place,
Speaker 1: podcast was talking about how Russell Wilson is like weekend
Speaker 1: Sierra wouldn't be with him if he didn't have money,
Speaker 1: which is hilarious. That man loves her tent toes down.
Speaker 1: You see it everywhere. He's constantly just praising Sierra, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's annoying to me because I think Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: like their relationship is fine, you have to come and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, she would still want to be the future. No,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't. He's mean. He's very mean to her. Did
Speaker 1: you see how many times he wrote when she left
Speaker 1: dumb if somebody's the simpest future, ninety songs about how's
Speaker 1: gonna get se her back? And never got her back? Okay,
Speaker 1: her child calls him daddy. It's not about it's like,
Speaker 1: get over it anyway. Russell Wilson for loving a woman,
Speaker 1: and still getting clowned about it's ridiculous. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: know people hate love, you know that hate to see
Speaker 1: it the most. Um, Let's see some tweets that I like.
Speaker 1: First one from Christina at Christina E. Cox tweeted today
Speaker 1: when introducing World War One, a student raised her hand
Speaker 1: and brought up the death of a certain archduke. Nobody
Speaker 1: knew his name, so as a hint, I offered that
Speaker 1: he shares his name with the band Gentle reader. My
Speaker 1: students asked if there had perhaps been in arch Duke Metallica,
Speaker 1: But also like, come on, you think the kids no
Speaker 1: friends Ferdinand? They don't, they don't, they don't, they don't.
Speaker 1: I mean that was I think that was a moment too,
Speaker 1: when you realize how old we are. First, Melanie Lynskey
Speaker 1: at Melanie Lynskey tweeted, tried to throw a slightly neglected
Speaker 1: baby doll into the toy basket and my three year
Speaker 1: old shrieks, that's my daughter. I had no idea, I
Speaker 1: thought this morning, it's this idea, like yo, that energy
Speaker 1: of like, that's my daughter. You forget these toys what
Speaker 1: they do to our childhood imaginations. And then last one
Speaker 1: lol Ennui at lol Ennui tweeted. My theory is every
Speaker 1: gen X person read a Stephen King book way too young,
Speaker 1: and that's why they are the way they are. Um
Speaker 1: spooked out kids reading Stephen King. You can find me
Speaker 1: at Miles of Gray on Twitter and Instagram. Also check

Speaker 1: is a track that I was somehow, you know how
Speaker 1: like YouTube history like has almost like sucking everything you've
Speaker 1: ever watched. I started scrolling back and just kind of
Speaker 1: like randomly like looking at ship I've looked at and
Speaker 1: I remember I used to love this music video from
Speaker 1: two thousands set in from the E d M artists
Speaker 1: armand Van Hilden, called I Want Your Soul. But I
Speaker 1: loved it because just this, like this is like in
Speaker 1: the era before everybody was leaning into the nineties, look
Speaker 1: so hard in the odds, like just like on the
Speaker 1: precipice of like old hip hop looks from the nineties.
Speaker 1: This whole video shot like it's like with like cross colors,
Speaker 1: overalls and ship like that. And the video is so
Speaker 1: dope and the tracks the track school too, but I
