Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so happy to be back. It
Speaker 1: feels like I haven't seen you in so long. I
Speaker 1: know it's been a minute to long. How long has
Speaker 1: it been? I don't know. Yeah, everything like you're saying
Speaker 1: it is that time is a flat circle. Everything is
Speaker 1: just a Venn diagram. That's a circle. I can google it.
Speaker 1: I can find out. No, I mean, that's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be more disoriented. I'm not going to but I could
Speaker 1: know what's good? What are you been up to? Oh man?
Speaker 1: What have I been up to? You? I mean mostly
Speaker 1: just like reading a lot of American history and recording
Speaker 1: stuff about US history and like neuroscience and racism for
Speaker 1: for White Homework. That's that's really been it. I am
Speaker 1: going to try to write a book though, I have
Speaker 1: like one thing left to send to an editor, so
Speaker 1: like send vibes. Yeah, White Homework book. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's a that's a best seller. I'm calling it right now,
Speaker 1: right like this is good ship you guys, great show,
Speaker 1: great title, great yeah, great author. Let's get it done. Wait,
Speaker 1: so are you in the process. Are you saying like, Okay,
Speaker 1: the pieces are coming together, I think it's time or
Speaker 1: you're you're in the lab right now making it um,
Speaker 1: so basically um getting stuff together for a publishing company. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've been talking to them for a little bit
Speaker 1: and I'm super excited. Okay, we consider the vibe scent.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and you're up. I am. It is pouring
Speaker 1: down rain and gray what I know. It's lovely. Everything
Speaker 1: is blooming though, like this is the best. Everything is
Speaker 1: pink right now because like all the trees have pink
Speaker 1: flowers for two. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's in Portland, like
Speaker 1: called Rose City or yeah city of Roses, yep, city Roses.
Speaker 1: There we go. We like our flowers here, okay, and
Speaker 1: we and mushrooms because those are legal now here too,
Speaker 1: So mushrooms are legal. Yeah, I know. I feel like
Speaker 1: if you had told like twenty year old me that
Speaker 1: mushrooms would be legal like in many cities in the
Speaker 1: United States, like that was that was a time when
Speaker 1: I like heard tell of Amsterdam, like it was some
Speaker 1: like time portal that you could walk through. And now
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, or you could just like go take
Speaker 1: a take a day trip up to Portland's that's that's
Speaker 1: very cool. Good good for Portland's, good for the people
Speaker 1: of Portland. I was. I was just thinking. The only
Speaker 1: reason I knew that it was it was the Rose
Speaker 1: City was because Rashid Wallace had Air Force ones that
Speaker 1: had a rose on the heel and that was a
Speaker 1: signature shoe. And like as a kid, I was like,
Speaker 1: why does he have a rose on his shoe? And
Speaker 1: then I'm like this all makes sense. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm seventeen and I don't know anything. Have you seen Pig?
Speaker 1: By the way, this is probably the most annoying conversation
Speaker 1: or the question that people from Portland get constantly. What
Speaker 1: what what are you talking about? Pig? The Nicolas Cage movie. No,
Speaker 1: I haven't, Oh dear now I'm gonna have to watch something. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: why is that annoying? For Porto from Portland? I don't
Speaker 1: think it's set in Portland, isn't it? Oh? Is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's filmed and set in Portland. It's like a very
Speaker 1: Portland film and it's about it's about like cuisine and
Speaker 1: foodieas in Portland, set with a vengeance backdrop and a
Speaker 1: wildly unbathed Nicolas Cage, like the most unbathed a actor
Speaker 1: has ever been in a role. Jack, Where did this
Speaker 1: come out? Came out last year? It's very good. I
Speaker 1: highly right. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, we definitely recommend it.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's being it's being too critical of
Speaker 1: like Hote cuisine basically yeah, a little bit like he's
Speaker 1: like describing it out loud. It sounds a little silly,
Speaker 1: but he's like a he was like a great chef,
Speaker 1: left the world of Hote cuisine and then like comes
Speaker 1: back to set motherfucker straight. Like both with regards to
Speaker 1: like what they're what they're cooking. In addition to like
Speaker 1: he's he's looking for his pig. Somebody somebody took his pig. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's not as violent as like I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be heading in you hear that it's like a vengeance,
Speaker 1: like he's just he I just want my pig. And
Speaker 1: then it's it's he doesn't use like there is a
Speaker 1: violent scene, but it's not. It's never like him going
Speaker 1: on kill Bill because the way you described it, it
Speaker 1: sounded like a bowl of film where yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: it's I thought this is like the fucking Cuisine show Down.
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, it's cool though, and there's some good
Speaker 1: performances in there, not the least of which the pig,
Speaker 1: but as the Nicolas Cage. All right, Tory, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're gonna, of course, talk about the big
Speaker 1: news the Biden administration choosing once again to really they
Speaker 1: really picked their battles. They picked the fuck out of
Speaker 1: their battles, and in this case, there's just like I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's what the judge said. So no no
Speaker 1: mask mandate anymore on airplanes. And we don't get blamed
Speaker 1: for it because this judge did it, and people were
Speaker 1: pulling off their masks and throwing them in the air
Speaker 1: on the airplane because they ended it like midflight some
Speaker 1: flights and people were pulling off their masks and throwing
Speaker 1: it in the air like they were graduation hats. Like yeah,
Speaker 1: like the COVID, we graduated from COVID. It's over, guys,
Speaker 1: altruism no more, don't worry about it, don't sacrifice shit. Ever,
Speaker 1: the terrible experiment is over, according to that judge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a new level. Like we it
Speaker 1: just keeps happening. We keep reaching new levels of dipshit
Speaker 1: ory when it comes to the COVID conspiracy theories. So
Speaker 1: we got a new one. We're gonna talk about that,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. Before we get to any
Speaker 1: of it, we do like to ask our guest tory,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Well, because I'm
Speaker 1: kind of esoteric as fuck and always studying random things
Speaker 1: that were excluded from from American history. This last week
Speaker 1: I have been researching the racist history homeschooling in America.
Speaker 1: Very weird, but there are no like so in the US.
Speaker 1: You in most states, you were not legally obligated to
Speaker 1: educate your child like at all on paper, you might
Speaker 1: be nobody enforces it, and like someone wouldn't come by
Speaker 1: like a farm and be like, why aren't these kids
Speaker 1: in school? No? No, no. So I've just um, yeah,
Speaker 1: i've been I've been enjoying a little bit of that
Speaker 1: Journal of Black Studies, because again I am a nerd
Speaker 1: has several articles on like anti blackness and homeschooling, and
Speaker 1: like it's just you know, it's it's it's conservative evangelicals
Speaker 1: who are mad about desegregation and prayer being taken out
Speaker 1: of schools, which I guess it's some huge affront still, yeah,
Speaker 1: so they were really like the people that that drove that,
Speaker 1: and the folks who like essentially couldn't afford these like
Speaker 1: Christian segregation academies, like a lot of them ended up homeschooling, right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, seeing that, I mean it's not like
Speaker 1: that that process is always taking place, which is like, well,
Speaker 1: progress is there. We're taking our kids over here, truly,
Speaker 1: and it never ends, like whether it's that or now
Speaker 1: like charter schools or even now with people even now
Speaker 1: trying to push again for homeschooling, you know, because I
Speaker 1: feel like now it's like, well, look what they're learning
Speaker 1: in school now, whether it's you're you can you should
Speaker 1: accept yourself as the human being that you were born as,
Speaker 1: or fucked up topics like slavery is an an affront
Speaker 1: to like any moral human being, like, and so we'll
Speaker 1: teach them our own thing at home. Yeah, there's always
Speaker 1: this fucking there's always an escape patch for ignorance, always always, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I it's just very you know, even even
Speaker 1: there's a couple of fairly strict states in terms of homeschooling,
Speaker 1: where like the state will actually come and check on you,
Speaker 1: but like in forties states they might, right, And so
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of kids don't receive an actual education,
Speaker 1: and so they're like creating their own transcripts by googling
Speaker 1: stuff and like using an Excel spreadsheet because you know,
Speaker 1: if your parents said you graduated, then you grab a
Speaker 1: bit it in my heart, honey, I strongly believe number
Speaker 1: one in my class studies. But yeah, you are the
Speaker 1: default valedictorian, babe. I know. It's great winning. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this feels like something that's about to explode even more.
Speaker 1: Like David Mammitt, who I had an associated with, like
Speaker 1: straight like right wing like Q and on ship, but
Speaker 1: like he went on a Fox News show and claimed
Speaker 1: that like seventy of teachers in the US are pedophiles.
Speaker 1: So like, I feel like there is a mainstreaming of
Speaker 1: like that thanks to you know, the fact that there's
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to be like, Okay, this is the
Speaker 1: new battle ground. Is the p t A from like
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon and folks like that. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: homeschooling is it is a growth industry. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's where you should have your money. Yeah, it's where
Speaker 1: It's so gross. It's so gross. And then there's like
Speaker 1: all of these progressive, like good white liberal folks who
Speaker 1: don't like the school district there and because it's a
Speaker 1: little too dark for them. So but then they're using
Speaker 1: all these same arguments that are literally based in like
Speaker 1: pro segregation rhetoric, right right, And so I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're if you are going to be a person
Speaker 1: who does that, okay, but like, don't use the arguments
Speaker 1: that people are using to like marry their daughters off
Speaker 1: at fifteen. That's gross. Like get it together. Yeah, oh man,
Speaker 1: I wonder how Zoshia mamm It is doing. You know,
Speaker 1: I guess now that she got her she got her
Speaker 1: little she got her little career in real quick on
Speaker 1: Girls and Madmen. Now her dad can't like funk that
Speaker 1: up for her. Dad, don't say like quing on stuff
Speaker 1: on Fox, gonna get on the show. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I I feel like this is his baby
Speaker 1: boomer nests winning out over like being a caated person
Speaker 1: side of things, Like I'm not gonna blame his kids necessarily,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's no. I'm just saying it's just always
Speaker 1: funny to just see like because that is the kind
Speaker 1: of thing when you see, like you know, how nepotism
Speaker 1: works in Hollywood at times, like the kids can get
Speaker 1: burned sometimes even if they have nothing to do with
Speaker 1: it because the parent kind of said, that's just me
Speaker 1: looking out for the poor kids who have You know,
Speaker 1: I struggled so hard being born randomly. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Um? I mean right now, like
Speaker 1: just don't the entire West as a construct. I'm like
Speaker 1: you guys, you're you're everybody's like, oh my god, Like
Speaker 1: I can't believe that this Russia thing is happening because
Speaker 1: like we're all we're all aspiring capitalists. We all have billionaires,
Speaker 1: Like what's the problem this is? I don't, I just
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand. It's like we're there. There's
Speaker 1: this thing of like we're all on the same team,
Speaker 1: like how could they and like pearl clutching and I'm like,
Speaker 1: have you again, have you ever? Have you ever read
Speaker 1: a book? Man? Like figure it out? Yeah? Now, of god,
Speaker 1: we a lot of us who were homeschooled to read
Speaker 1: kind of voraciously. So that is a thing. My sib
Speaker 1: length and I are all constantly reading history and like
Speaker 1: listening to history podcasts, which is probably why I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're just there's nothing, like there's nothing
Speaker 1: we can do. We're just at this like kind of
Speaker 1: point where it's like, yeah, we said we're kind of
Speaker 1: all gonna like just go our own separate ways and
Speaker 1: like let people do what they want to do, kind
Speaker 1: of like following World War Two and like all this
Speaker 1: all this stuff that they put together in all these
Speaker 1: treaties and it's just like, oh, yeah, that only applies
Speaker 1: to again, only applies to darker folks, like the rule
Speaker 1: of law, law and order. So I mean, like I
Speaker 1: feel like constantly like, as an American, you look at
Speaker 1: the coverage of like how people are talking and you're like,
Speaker 1: you're like talking war crimes, okay, yeah, oh god you
Speaker 1: have you have you don't have a leg to stand on,
Speaker 1: Like we don't. We don't get to accuse people of
Speaker 1: war crimes. They're like, will invade the fucking Hague if
Speaker 1: you try. Some mean it's like literally that's the policy,
Speaker 1: that was the policy, and we're over. That's why you
Speaker 1: watching the news is really surreal because like I can't
Speaker 1: believe what's going on, like what these atrocities, And you're like, fuck, man,
Speaker 1: if we could only report on our own ship with
Speaker 1: the supposed clarity that the journalists are with this conflict,
Speaker 1: like whether it was even early on with like well
Speaker 1: look at the people dying in this world, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and like no one realizing yeah, no one realized how
Speaker 1: they sound. And you're like, oh, this is why everything
Speaker 1: is so fucked up. And then like you have our
Speaker 1: own country being like this is an atrocity, My god,
Speaker 1: look at us. Just look at them. I mean, guys,
Speaker 1: wese are people who look like they could be your neighbor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they could be your cousin that's why I stand in
Speaker 1: solidarity with the occupied Ukrainians Palestine. I've I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is. Okay, I'm time time time time time time,
Speaker 1: some time time time. Sorry and sorry, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: totally treated that though. I was like, if you're standing
Speaker 1: with Ukraine but not like Palistine or Yemen, go fund yourself,
Speaker 1: Like you actually don't know anything. Yeah, like you don't,
Speaker 1: you don't, just you don't. You don't get an opinion
Speaker 1: in terms of and I get it too, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can as an individual. I think that's why a
Speaker 1: lot of people were saying, like, I can't believe that
Speaker 1: these people are just like bringing up America's war atrocities
Speaker 1: to cover up things like sure, there are some people
Speaker 1: who were just doing what about is ms to kind
Speaker 1: of deflect, but I think some people who are truly
Speaker 1: disturbed by the lack of like consistent care empathy that
Speaker 1: goes out from American people. That's what's really frustrating, because
Speaker 1: we're always seeing like this cordoned off sec like sort
Speaker 1: of compartmentalized empathy and not thinking like that's the problem
Speaker 1: is you can look at a brown kid who's dead
Speaker 1: on the ground and feel nothing but you see this
Speaker 1: white child, you know, dead on the ground, and now
Speaker 1: it really is an issue and really trying and really
Speaker 1: you know, take the time to confront why you don't
Speaker 1: feel one thing when you look at one thing and
Speaker 1: you feel something else looking at the other. That's I
Speaker 1: think what is really the most disheartening part of like
Speaker 1: observing the coverage and like the discourse from you know,
Speaker 1: many American people about what's happening. I think there's also
Speaker 1: something where they can like convince themselves that, well, it's complicated.
Speaker 1: You know. We've I've read like all these New York
Speaker 1: Times articles with all these facts, and like the only
Speaker 1: thing that's complicated is you might say some ship that
Speaker 1: someone you really care about wholeheartedly disagrees with, and you
Speaker 1: may have to not talk to that person anymore because
Speaker 1: you actually have a you're trying to apply a consistent
Speaker 1: definition of what a human being is, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Um, what does something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm gonna go with non monogamy. Go on,
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm a fan. How do you want me
Speaker 1: to say? You guys? Um No, But like I was
Speaker 1: having a conversation with a friend earlier today, and yeah,
Speaker 1: we're kind of talking about this like scarcity mindset that
Speaker 1: we're all given because you know, capitalism, and we apply
Speaker 1: that to our relationships. And I was talking about kind
Speaker 1: of like working through my own ship and you know,
Speaker 1: like abandonment issues or if you have like any kind
Speaker 1: of trauma, it's like you have to I'm in therapy
Speaker 1: right now. You guys, don't judge me and you in
Speaker 1: the way that I'm saying, oh look you look at
Speaker 1: Oh look who's getting their ship together? You know. I
Speaker 1: just stopped and I was trying to get my therapist
Speaker 1: to be like in the YO, cannot keep want and
Speaker 1: she's like you, I mean, if you just want to
Speaker 1: talk about I mean, like the last two sessions, you
Speaker 1: just told me what was happening on TV. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I know, but I like chicken in And
Speaker 1: she's like, you, let's develop some life skills where you
Speaker 1: seem to be able to and so yeah, no shade
Speaker 1: in fact congratulations. So yeah, um, but yeah, like working
Speaker 1: like the thing that I've kind of been working through,
Speaker 1: I guess like mentally lately or whatever cognitively and and
Speaker 1: just like my own my own issues is like seeing
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, like your partners, partners are like on
Speaker 1: your team, right, if you're doing this right, it's like
Speaker 1: you're all it's collaboration, not competition. That was kind of
Speaker 1: what occurred to me the other day and that made
Speaker 1: me really happy. It's like I'm I'm I'm into this.
Speaker 1: This is like this is something that you know, I
Speaker 1: wasn't raised with at all. Like the only non monogamy
Speaker 1: that I grew up with was like random rape dudes
Speaker 1: in the Bible. So um yeah, like kind of learning
Speaker 1: this like mutual respect and it really does, in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways sort of force you to grow as
Speaker 1: a person. Yeah, I like it right, Like so how
Speaker 1: like the boundaries have to be like really in place, right,
Speaker 1: like right up front with everybody involved absolutely, because it's
Speaker 1: it's like there's still consent, right, and it's like it's
Speaker 1: still if you're if you're in a partnership of any kind,
Speaker 1: like you're not making unilateral decisions about things, and you
Speaker 1: know there are there are always issues that you're going
Speaker 1: to have to kind of like work through. I mean,
Speaker 1: one of my friends is talking to me about the
Speaker 1: difference between jealousy and envy. A couple weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is actually I've never thought about
Speaker 1: it this way because can I tell you? Can I
Speaker 1: sall you something really embarrassing. This is a really embarrassing
Speaker 1: story about me and not monock me. So I am like,
Speaker 1: you know, I've never I've never really cared like the
Speaker 1: like the sex pieces, like never really bothered him. I
Speaker 1: was just like, okay, cool, like go have fun, do
Speaker 1: your thing, like I don't as long as you're being safe, right,
Speaker 1: go at it. However, my partner went hiking with someone
Speaker 1: and didn't tell me. It wasn't like it wasn't somebody
Speaker 1: romantically involved at all. And I was like like like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I feel so like taking advantage of
Speaker 1: Not really I'm like being dramatic, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I really I like hiking, Like why did you do
Speaker 1: this without me? That was kind of my I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't like sex whatever, like hiking, like you need
Speaker 1: to tell me what's up. They're like, which were you
Speaker 1: wearing boots or just like sort of like all terrain
Speaker 1: shoes like yourself. I don't know everything. You brought a
Speaker 1: camel back? Yeah, yeah, It's interesting that that sort of
Speaker 1: contextual shift you're talking about right of like not seeing
Speaker 1: when you're in a like a relationship, and there's multiple
Speaker 1: partners of not seeing people's competition and collaborators, and it's
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's funny how there's so many things
Speaker 1: that we just kind of flip a switch or just
Speaker 1: we need a different context to look at something through.
Speaker 1: And then sudden like that's what I Yeah, that makes
Speaker 1: more sense because I know I was working with it,
Speaker 1: but I didn't quite know how to make sense of
Speaker 1: it because I've always looked, you know, at relationships do
Speaker 1: this very specific lens. I feel it's like the same
Speaker 1: thing even in you know, if you're in a monogamous
Speaker 1: relationship of like when you hear criticism from a partner,
Speaker 1: not taking that as like this is my enemy and
Speaker 1: I am now doing battle with them, and the essential
Speaker 1: debate arena when which I will fuck them up. Watch
Speaker 1: this versus this is a person that cares we're on
Speaker 1: the same team, and the things they're saying are just
Speaker 1: merely observations, and I'm just trying to hear them, not
Speaker 1: necessarily hearing it as you're bad, which I think most
Speaker 1: people take criticism. And so these little shifts yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: It's like viewing viewing your relationships is like building something
Speaker 1: together and you know, yeah, like being on it's like
Speaker 1: we're on the same time, or we can do this together,
Speaker 1: and you know that it does require a lot of
Speaker 1: monogymous or non monoymous. It does require a lot of
Speaker 1: like mutual respects, which I think is something we frequently
Speaker 1: are not taught. And then you know, wind up in
Speaker 1: therapy to learn. So yeah, and security within yourself more
Speaker 1: than anything, because if you don't have that, everything will
Speaker 1: look like an existential threat right to you or the
Speaker 1: you know, the scarcity mentality only increases because you're not
Speaker 1: working with yourself enough to be like, yo, I'm I
Speaker 1: can get love. I can go out there and can
Speaker 1: get love. That's not a problem. But if so many
Speaker 1: of us think in this way of like, well, I
Speaker 1: had love and then I lost it that one time,
Speaker 1: and then that was like a rough couple of years,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to repeat that, the builds. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just back yourself. If y'all back yourself, All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked on a trending a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago about how a Trump appointed judge Katherine
Speaker 1: Kimball Myzelle struck down the CDC mask mandate for travel
Speaker 1: and they were just like, all right, let it rock,
Speaker 1: no more masks on planes, And yeah, I don't like
Speaker 1: are people writing about how the Biden like this feels
Speaker 1: like the sort of thing that another administration might have
Speaker 1: been like funck that. H'm like, this is still the
Speaker 1: executive branch and we're gonna keep it in place or
Speaker 1: like fight this. Everything everything I see from mainstream news
Speaker 1: is like here's the lady that fucked it all up,
Speaker 1: or these are the airports that are doing it or
Speaker 1: not doing it, or airlines there there aren't manywhere like
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, you know, precisely like the coverage being squarely
Speaker 1: on like what the administration is doing as a result
Speaker 1: of that, I mean obviously like they're saying things like well,
Speaker 1: we were gonna like you know, we're hoping until May
Speaker 1: kind of things, because the White House was even on
Speaker 1: board like early May, and we were still like what
Speaker 1: the fund is that going to do? So yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems like there isn't much friction between the federal and judiciary,
Speaker 1: like as you know, as the reporting is right now,
Speaker 1: and for the reasons you were saying up topic, it's
Speaker 1: kind of convenient for the administration. So just in terms
Speaker 1: of her the judges beliefs around masks and COVID, it's
Speaker 1: not clear that she is full scam demic, but she
Speaker 1: seems pretty skeptical about, you know, anything that hasn't been
Speaker 1: fact checked by random people on Facebook. She's I mean,
Speaker 1: she's been She was labeled as like the right wing
Speaker 1: extremist judge when she was, you know, on her way
Speaker 1: to getting confirmed way back when in twent At the
Speaker 1: end of this is somebody who, for some reason that
Speaker 1: when the American Bar Association was like, she doesn't have
Speaker 1: the minimum level of like years practicing as a lawyer
Speaker 1: to even be considered for like a district court, Like
Speaker 1: this doesn't even make sense, Like this person doesn't even
Speaker 1: take the boxes for the bare minimum. They're not fit.
Speaker 1: Yet all the Republicans are like, yes, this person is
Speaker 1: better than Katangi Brown Jackson, so let's let's just keep
Speaker 1: it like that. So but this, the way she wrote
Speaker 1: in her decision is she like was talking about social
Speaker 1: distancing and things like that as like an experiment. She's
Speaker 1: like a like a very extreme experimentation with like these
Speaker 1: distancing things. So you're like, okay, those are experiments. Those
Speaker 1: aren't like, you know, risk mitigating policies put in place
Speaker 1: to you know, try and prevent us from having a
Speaker 1: million deaths even though we're well on our way there.
Speaker 1: So you know, she was more sort of trying to
Speaker 1: say that this looked more like a thing where the
Speaker 1: CDC wasn't so much interested in like what was going
Speaker 1: to be safe, but that they were trying to exercise
Speaker 1: their power to like prevent people from traveling into detain
Speaker 1: and quarantine them if they didn't abide by wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: That was like the thrust of me, like, oh wow, wow,
Speaker 1: match made in Maga. How would how how would the
Speaker 1: CDC care about people flying when they clearly don't give
Speaker 1: a funk about a pandemic killing people. They're just like,
Speaker 1: let's go with what what do people want to do
Speaker 1: this week? Masks? No masks, school, school, Just like follow
Speaker 1: your heart and you'll be fine. Like I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why they even exist at this point exactly.
Speaker 1: That's where we're at now, where we're like I thought, well,
Speaker 1: I think because everything they were the whole everything was
Speaker 1: just basically be like, I don't know, the CDC is
Speaker 1: sucking everything up right, that it became like an untenable
Speaker 1: position for them over there to be like funk, I
Speaker 1: mean like everything we say is fucked up. And now
Speaker 1: the only people that they're listening to are the ones
Speaker 1: we're like, it's not that bad. So you know it's
Speaker 1: at that point. Yeah, then again it's only I think
Speaker 1: diminished the trust people have and again only adds to
Speaker 1: the fucking confusion that is happening around this because as
Speaker 1: we as it stands, right, we're we have just looking
Speaker 1: like none of the major airlines are like yeah, fuck it,
Speaker 1: we're fine. T s A is like we don't give
Speaker 1: a ship man, we're not enforcing it anymore. Like it's
Speaker 1: all good, but we're still very much dealing with this
Speaker 1: pandemic and the like the administration was just still being like, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe great if Congress could like you know, fund the
Speaker 1: fucking pandemic response. So states are on their own. We
Speaker 1: don't have like a robust federal response anymore, we don't
Speaker 1: have fucking anymore unemployment insurance, and we're we've truly stepped
Speaker 1: into this ship where it's like, yeah, man, do you
Speaker 1: because this is America and help is not on the
Speaker 1: way ever. Yeah, and it feels like the right is
Speaker 1: winning the you know, the the right has made it
Speaker 1: so that like, rather than the CDC being strengthened by
Speaker 1: you know, leadership during the pandemic, it it's become completely ineffectual.
Speaker 1: And now the people who just don't want COVID to
Speaker 1: be a thing, like are that they're dictating policy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the direction that we've we've gone. It just seems
Speaker 1: like a very dangerous precedent. But I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: you can't win like where we if you if you
Speaker 1: help people, then you're then you're doing socialism right, which
Speaker 1: would have probably made people feel less tense about I'm
Speaker 1: not working or my fucking this got like my financial
Speaker 1: situation is completely upended by the pandemic. If we were
Speaker 1: meaningfully able to help people, that would have diminished a
Speaker 1: few things to at least help people feel like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well fuck there's a pandemic, but at least like I'm
Speaker 1: not feeling a crunch of like my bills piling up
Speaker 1: because I'm not working. So you can't win by helping
Speaker 1: people you can't win by trying to say, well, then
Speaker 1: fuck it. If we can't help people, then like go
Speaker 1: to fucking work. But we're these masks or maybe get
Speaker 1: a vaccine, and they're like I don't fucking want to
Speaker 1: and they're like, fuck, we can't even win there. So
Speaker 1: it truly is like this thing, like the experience of
Speaker 1: like leading America is like you're this like burnt out
Speaker 1: parent driving a van full of kids that are like whining,
Speaker 1: and you just constantly capitulate to them, even though they're like,
Speaker 1: drive off the road, Dad, drive off the road. We
Speaker 1: hate ourselves. Yeah, they're like no, I want us to live.
Speaker 1: It's like but I don't want to, lam dad, and
Speaker 1: you're like fuck fine if we can't be there right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it's like, uh we the the U. S.
Speaker 1: Government is the parent that was like, you know, mine
Speaker 1: fucked into being like you want to drive and the
Speaker 1: kids like yes, and they're like okay, And now now
Speaker 1: they're the parents. In the back seat of the car
Speaker 1: as the five year old is driving, come ar Old
Speaker 1: pulled a gun out from underneath the driver's scene. He's like, bitches,
Speaker 1: you stay back there. I'm in charge now. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like okay, we're yeah, we're screwed. Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 1: You look at like, you know a lot of the
Speaker 1: reporting when the you know, when this all went down
Speaker 1: on Monday, so many like a lot of the headlines
Speaker 1: talked about like had words like sparking confusion or like
Speaker 1: confused passengers respond or whatever. I just want to I'll
Speaker 1: play some clips because people on Twitter, we're taking video
Speaker 1: like when they were on their flights mid fucking air
Speaker 1: and basically you had the captain and be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is your this is your captain future Hendrick speaking.
Speaker 1: I'm off that Molly and pokoseet and just want to
Speaker 1: let you know it's time for the masks to come off. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. That was the fucking vibe on these fights.
Speaker 1: But let's just hear from people who are actually on
Speaker 1: a fucking airplane mirroring, like going, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I take masks off, congratulating he said, congratulations. Yeah, straight up.
Speaker 1: People started taking their masks off. Then it was so
Speaker 1: you know, they only caught the tail and it would
Speaker 1: have been weird if somebody was just taking a video
Speaker 1: the entire flight. But the guy goes effective immediately, congratulations
Speaker 1: the captain who knows where he's out on the scam
Speaker 1: demic scale. And then people just clap and and take
Speaker 1: off their masks. The guy said, the pilot apparently said,
Speaker 1: this is your pilots being this is the most important
Speaker 1: announcement I've ever made. Okay, wow, fuck out of here.
Speaker 1: The federal mask mandate is over? Were you flying during
Speaker 1: nine eleven? Because I feel like you may have given
Speaker 1: an address if you were flying nine eleven that may
Speaker 1: have been more. Anyway, federal mask mandate is over. Take
Speaker 1: off your mask if you choose WHOA. Then there's another one.
Speaker 1: This one was on an Allegiant Air flight and the
Speaker 1: vibe of this flight attendant was like she's reading off
Speaker 1: her phone and it's kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like do whatever you want? Okay, what about the pandemic? Can?
Speaker 1: Does that still real? Is this thing long COVID a
Speaker 1: potential ailment that could alter my life in a negative way?
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, where do y'all keep the parachutes? Because
Speaker 1: I'm out, like this is some bullshit. Did not sign
Speaker 1: up for any of this. I'm just curious about the
Speaker 1: like flight attendant fucking unions like this is very bad
Speaker 1: for their health. This adds a huge hazard to their workplace,
Speaker 1: and nobody. Nobody gives a ship it's wild though I'm
Speaker 1: good up here. The last couple of times I've flown
Speaker 1: this year, you can tell there's even like there are
Speaker 1: some you see some flight attendants loose with the mask too,
Speaker 1: where they're like, I don't really give a fun I
Speaker 1: think in their mind they're like, I've been on this
Speaker 1: plane so goddamn long, and that's fine. I got COVID once.
Speaker 1: But you can even tell that there, you know, I
Speaker 1: think multiple people live in different realities based on like
Speaker 1: the threat vectors that they're they face, right, and I
Speaker 1: think for when that gives a lot of anecdotal evidence
Speaker 1: for one person to feel comfortable, you know, because I
Speaker 1: mean those those fight attendants are vaccinated, so it's not
Speaker 1: like they're unvaccinated and have no masks. But every person
Speaker 1: has a different way of looking at what's happening. And
Speaker 1: this again, this adds to the confusion when you just
Speaker 1: hear if the if the leaders of the country saying
Speaker 1: you don't need the thing that we're saying was keeping
Speaker 1: you safe, then you'd have the logical next conclusion you'd say,
Speaker 1: is oh, so then we're safe, right, that's why we're
Speaker 1: not wearing them. But the fact is we're not. We
Speaker 1: don't have money for a response. We're looking at a
Speaker 1: more transmissible version of like of the of the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: But reporting is low because the symptoms are milder and
Speaker 1: most people self test, which doesn't get reported. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot adding to like the perception that it's all good. Right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, again, it seems like right now the government
Speaker 1: is saying, hey, man, just figure your own ship out,
Speaker 1: you know, because we're off this. We're not gonna help you,
Speaker 1: but help yourself if you want. Yeah, we graduated from COVID.
Speaker 1: It's over. Congratulations everyone. Yeah, the numbers are still like
Speaker 1: not even as low as they were in like June
Speaker 1: of last year. Like, so well, we'll see hopefully they
Speaker 1: have the ability to be like all right, So that
Speaker 1: was an interesting experiment. Cases are going back up. Let's
Speaker 1: let's pull those bad boys back on without people freaking out.
Speaker 1: But I just I get the feeling that's not the
Speaker 1: world we live in anymore. No, And I don't know,
Speaker 1: yeah again, you're just it's how how are people supposed
Speaker 1: to make really good decisions about what, you know, how
Speaker 1: they're supposed to go out in the world. If you
Speaker 1: can't even like there's not one consistent source of information
Speaker 1: aside from maybe like some scientists just pulling his fucking
Speaker 1: you know, pulling their hair out, being like, fuck the
Speaker 1: fuck this, y'all are acting like we have therapeutics that
Speaker 1: we can fucking hand you the second you get off
Speaker 1: of planes that would event you from getting like a
Speaker 1: terrible case of COVID, or if you have it, you
Speaker 1: could take it and you're you know, you're good and
Speaker 1: fucking a couple of days, we're not there yet. That's
Speaker 1: like the version where I think, in my mind, that's
Speaker 1: what safety looks like, which is even if I get COVID,
Speaker 1: there's there are medications or their interventions in place that
Speaker 1: are accessible to everybody that make it so you don't
Speaker 1: have a terrible case of COVID, you don't get long COVID.
Speaker 1: That feels like, you know, then then we are dealing
Speaker 1: with something like the flu or the cold when you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta just go to go just go go to
Speaker 1: go to CBS, get your ship. But we're not there,
Speaker 1: and so until that's met. I'm continuing to believe that,
Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic rages on because it's as it
Speaker 1: does everywhere else in the world. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: and find out what's really going on with this COVID
Speaker 1: ship snake. Then I'm in the water supply people and
Speaker 1: we're back. So every time the Right rolls out a
Speaker 1: new conspiracy theory, like you, you have to be almost
Speaker 1: impressed that they managed to keep getting stupider than all
Speaker 1: the all the previous ones. And but I think they've
Speaker 1: done it yet again, We've gotten worse than P drinking.
Speaker 1: I think. So it's interested because because like P drinking
Speaker 1: was at least a little bit opaque, not just the
Speaker 1: P but like the we we didn't really know, like
Speaker 1: we had a sense of like who's sending it out there,
Speaker 1: but like the this one is like the person who
Speaker 1: put it out there claims they got the idea from
Speaker 1: an episode of Blacklift on CBS. I think for NBC whatever,
Speaker 1: that drama is Spader. So let's just let's just run
Speaker 1: through it. But yeah, I think we do have a
Speaker 1: new Yeah, a new king in the in the world
Speaker 1: of stupid conspiracy theory. So there's a new short documentary
Speaker 1: circulating on right wing social media platforms that's basically just
Speaker 1: an interview with one guy about the nature of the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus. This is, of course, Brian Artist, world renowned,
Speaker 1: widely respected virologist. Oh I'm sorry, actually a retired chiropractor
Speaker 1: who is also a far right podcaster. Oh well, retired.
Speaker 1: We all know the math Jack retired chiropractor plus far
Speaker 1: right podcast your equals virologist. That's how you get that.
Speaker 1: So Artist alleges that the COVID virus was created by
Speaker 1: King Cobra venom being pumped into the water supply, and
Speaker 1: the government is keeping monoclonal antibodies from the public because
Speaker 1: they are really anti venoms that could cure everybody. Wait,
Speaker 1: so they are really anti venom? Back, you got your
Speaker 1: right hold on you gotta even run that back from me.
Speaker 1: King Cobra, not the malt liquor is being pumped into
Speaker 1: the waters. I sooner believe King Cobra the malt liquor
Speaker 1: was being pumped into the water supply. But the cos Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that was the question that occurred to me as
Speaker 1: I was just reading through that, like I read through
Speaker 1: it earlier, and I was like so astounded by the
Speaker 1: stupidity and the complexity of the bad sourc thing that
Speaker 1: was happening here that I didn't even stop to think
Speaker 1: like that, Where where are the cobras coming from a
Speaker 1: bunch of FEMA camps in the Mojabi desert and they're
Speaker 1: just full of snakes that are being raised milking cobras. Hey,
Speaker 1: get those little things out for me. Yeah, they do
Speaker 1: have the hall of fame as well as were tried.
Speaker 1: They're like and in my mind, those are utters and
Speaker 1: they are real people doing labor. They put they're pulling
Speaker 1: up their venom stool and their venom bucket right under
Speaker 1: a king cobra and they're getting to work milk in
Speaker 1: those things. So I like that. We're not even close
Speaker 1: to being through here. Um. So he this scheme is
Speaker 1: being perpetuated by Fauci of course, also the Pope, baby
Speaker 1: the Pope. So let's figure out how Like somebody was like, okay, sir,
Speaker 1: obviously this sounds true. It has the smack of reality.
Speaker 1: But how did you get show your worth? Friend? So
Speaker 1: he explained part of his thinking was basically, corona equals
Speaker 1: crown and king equals king cobra. Yeah, yes, so corona
Speaker 1: equals so corona equals crown. Now that is true because
Speaker 1: the like that it's named for the shape of the
Speaker 1: molecule or whatever. The fun the little tiny coronavirus baby,
Speaker 1: But he took that. He was like, see that's where
Speaker 1: they want you to stop. But the crown equals king
Speaker 1: and the king equals king cobra. How is the pope connected? Well,
Speaker 1: he made that by just typing random words into Google
Speaker 1: image search. No, yeah, are their photos of the Pope
Speaker 1: with like a snake? That'd be fun, that would be right,
Speaker 1: like him and freak dancing with a snake. We're just yeah,
Speaker 1: just with a snake around his neck Britney Stair style. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is part of a Satanic plot being hatched by
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church to turn any everyone into a hybrid
Speaker 1: of Satan. So I like that week, what do we
Speaker 1: mean the eighteen fucking nineties with this like anti Italian,
Speaker 1: anti Catholic conspiracy. We're like, it's the Italians and Catholics
Speaker 1: with Fauci teaming up with the fucking pope. Wow, he
Speaker 1: has like all good scammers come out like at the
Speaker 1: first time that people were like, hey, none of this
Speaker 1: is true, obviously right, you're crazy. He was like, no,
Speaker 1: so the documentary actually misrepresented me a little bit. Um,
Speaker 1: I never intended to create fear, panic and anxiety about water.
Speaker 1: And then he still promoted the movie on his website
Speaker 1: along with a line of anti V pills anti and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's you know. In addition to Google image search and
Speaker 1: free association word games, the other sources that this theory
Speaker 1: are based on our first of all, the titles derived
Speaker 1: from a Q and on post Watch the Water was
Speaker 1: the title of the Q and On post that has
Speaker 1: been used as evidence for a Q predicting secret ballot
Speaker 1: water marks and this who has canal backup. But basically
Speaker 1: people are just like using numerology level like textual literary
Speaker 1: analysis of like some ship that a scammer the twentysomething
Speaker 1: scamera posted like years ago to come out with these theories.
Speaker 1: But my favorite piece of evidence that this theory is
Speaker 1: based on is a episode of the NBC series The Blacklist.
Speaker 1: I saw an episode of the show on Netflix in
Speaker 1: which a character is poisoned by snake venom in a
Speaker 1: beverage and concluded that this must be what caused COVID.
Speaker 1: So the guy who had bade the documentary says in
Speaker 1: the documentary, so I was watching the Blacklist. I saw
Speaker 1: this guy get poisoned by snake venom in his cup,
Speaker 1: and I believe that now that is how we got COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what are people supposed to drink now, Like they're
Speaker 1: just supposed to drink the regular water, but with his
Speaker 1: like little branded anti venom. Yeah yeah, okay, that's it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear, Tory. I don't know if you hurt anything,
Speaker 1: I'm having been Also, within the logic of the black List,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have seen that episode at least
Speaker 1: a couple of times. So the theory doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense because the character thinks he was poisoned with snake
Speaker 1: venom and wine, but later finds out it was actually
Speaker 1: in his scotch because it would have had to have
Speaker 1: been administered in something with a higher alcohol content. Water
Speaker 1: hasn't really like pretty low compared the wines and scotch,
Speaker 1: Like water's alcohol content is actually I think lower. What
Speaker 1: you guys aren't thinking is the actual alcohol potential of water.
Speaker 1: Now Jesus Christ himself, who wants to cover that up
Speaker 1: more than the thank you okay and for good measure.
Speaker 1: George Soros, Okay, you know what I'm you know what
Speaker 1: I'm getting at their fellow, but that that really is
Speaker 1: I mean God, even with my forced knowledge of Christianity
Speaker 1: from school, and I'm like, well, I could I can
Speaker 1: see that jumped? I would, I would, I might hit
Speaker 1: him up. I say, you, you're talking about the alcoholic
Speaker 1: potential of water visa v. Christ Men. So this theory
Speaker 1: is not just like something that I write or jam
Speaker 1: like spent the afternoon digging around to find the dumbest one.
Speaker 1: It is actually very popular. It was picked up by
Speaker 1: a multitude of right wing conspiracy theorists and influencers, artists
Speaker 1: episode or like or this idea, this idea, and him like.
Speaker 1: His theory was pulled invited for a forty minute interview
Speaker 1: on info Wars in which he misrepresented himself. Apparently, do
Speaker 1: you believe that I mean this is saying that, like
Speaker 1: Alex sounds like a straight shooter, right, Is he saying that,
Speaker 1: like Alex Jones edited the things that he said manipulatively
Speaker 1: to make him like look bad or like, what is
Speaker 1: what is even the argument there? He was talking about
Speaker 1: the original documentary, the first that was basically made my right,
Speaker 1: but this producer came in and we'll start twisting my
Speaker 1: world words around, so you can't like, doesn't he know
Speaker 1: like how dog whistles work, Like, if you're trying to
Speaker 1: have that plausible deniability, you can't go full blown King
Speaker 1: Cobra and the Water. There's no there's no way you
Speaker 1: can be like, you know, watch some Tucker Carlson be like,
Speaker 1: is it wrong to just ask what the content of
Speaker 1: kncarbra Venom is in the water and play that game.
Speaker 1: But when you're out of your full throat and be like, no,
Speaker 1: this is what's going on, it's hard to then be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well the producer I work with on the documentary that
Speaker 1: I'm in misrepresented what I said because I'm actually a
Speaker 1: really si like a serious person. Yeah, I'm a former chiropractor,
Speaker 1: motherfucker's and far rent and starting far right wing podcaster.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh right this way, Dr O'Brien, you did
Speaker 1: say you're a doctor, So yeah, well, well we'll see
Speaker 1: where this is headed. But snake Venom in the water
Speaker 1: just be keep an eye peeled for people talking about that,
Speaker 1: suggesting that might be happening. We'll probably see like water
Speaker 1: filtering technology like start being advertised more and more on
Speaker 1: Fox News. Somebody will get rich, not not the least
Speaker 1: of witches. Anti V Mr Anti V himself. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: she'd looking out for other ship in your water. To
Speaker 1: be honest, if you really you'd be surprised. Check your
Speaker 1: local water report. Yeah, I'm like, if there was less
Speaker 1: lead in your water body, maybe you would have figured
Speaker 1: this out a little sooner cracked. The case wouldn't have
Speaker 1: required an episode of the Blacklist. Sometimes that's where it's
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just right there in front of you. You
Speaker 1: know what. Now I want to watch The Blacklist and
Speaker 1: just come up with my own conspiracy theories based off
Speaker 1: Blacklist episodes. Yeah, where did covid come from? Good improv extras?
Speaker 1: And that the one where somebody wakes up in a
Speaker 1: suitcase or something. They're they're like going to suit they
Speaker 1: climb out of a suitcase and they're naked and like
Speaker 1: Central Park or Times Square. My confusing that with one
Speaker 1: episode of the Blacklist, so I could not. I think
Speaker 1: I just I'm remembering this from like the premiere episode
Speaker 1: where they were like, get ready to have your fucking
Speaker 1: mind turned inside out naked and Central Park the thing
Speaker 1: that has never happened before. Oh my god, this person
Speaker 1: is disoriented. And since I was watching The Naked Cowboy
Speaker 1: and I was like, what if it was, I took
Speaker 1: a bunch of Snake Venom and then just went to
Speaker 1: Central Park to see what happens. I really okay, listeners, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm I was wrong about that. I'm sure I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about that. I think I'm confusing like one NBC like
Speaker 1: light Prestige drama with another. But okay, sorry tor oh No,
Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm super I'm super excited about
Speaker 1: how like the Snake Venom is ostensibly creating these reptilian
Speaker 1: human hybrids because if you think about that, potentially they
Speaker 1: would be able to appropriate with lizard people. So now, yeah,
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth involved, along with the Pope and Dr Fauci
Speaker 1: and Jay z Ambiance. I forge always forget that they're
Speaker 1: in there. You're slipping because you got your eye on
Speaker 1: this racism stuff and blood in my water you can
Speaker 1: do You're talking about these reptilian hybrids that are fucking
Speaker 1: our celebrities. I mean yeah, I mean that should be cool.
Speaker 1: I would be stoked. As a scientist, I'm like, yo, man,
Speaker 1: there's actually some half lizard people. We should check them out.
Speaker 1: They might you know, they they might be a solution
Speaker 1: to our water usage because reptiles famously don't need that
Speaker 1: much water. They're all going to start for right wing podcasts.
Speaker 1: Welcome to reptile talk. Meanwhile, another fun feature of your water.
Speaker 1: If you take a shower and don't tow off, you
Speaker 1: are impervious to medical express because heavy metals. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: do away with that heavy bib they give you. Just
Speaker 1: tell them I shower and I don't tower. We good, Like, no,
Speaker 1: your skin looks very dry, very clear. You just walked
Speaker 1: out of a shower and let that's you dry, like
Speaker 1: you've got some scales. But so maybe we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to do more exactly recales you. So all these reptile
Speaker 1: people are just white people who don't moisturize after getting
Speaker 1: out of the shower and letting hard water dry on
Speaker 1: their bodies and then they or are they mistaking Are
Speaker 1: they mistaking or are they mistaking ashiness for reptilian skin
Speaker 1: depending on how much snake. But you've got that. It's
Speaker 1: on me again, as a person of color to do
Speaker 1: the labor to prove I'm not a reptile because I'm
Speaker 1: a little ashy, but you're a white I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's that. I don't are some of them? Are some
Speaker 1: of the those are people not white? Yeah? Of course
Speaker 1: really Obama Obama? Yeah, see, I didn't know that. The
Speaker 1: Clinton Wait, why are y'all laughing? She's a listener person.
Speaker 1: She said, are there are some of them not white?
Speaker 1: And you said Hillary taking a joke about Bill Clinton? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Sunny rawlins on sax. By the way, just
Speaker 1: while we're on the subject of snake fangs, shout out
Speaker 1: to all my other Dracula fang truthers out there who
Speaker 1: also believed that Dracula head hollow fangs that through which
Speaker 1: he sucked the blood. We're getting a lot of people
Speaker 1: who are like yo, I had that same thought. Okay,
Speaker 1: they stayed in place, I think. But so the truth
Speaker 1: about Dracula is that Dracula used his extend oh extended
Speaker 1: fangs to puncture the jugular vein and then he would
Speaker 1: just suck the blood in through his mouth like one
Speaker 1: would a you know, juicy piece of fruit. However, I
Speaker 1: had always pictured it as, for whatever reason, him having
Speaker 1: hollow fangs like a snake. But that worked in reverse,
Speaker 1: where you just stick his fangs in and then the
Speaker 1: blood would go like right up his fangs and into
Speaker 1: his body. Yeah, reverse section. Okay, I'm yeah, no, this
Speaker 1: makes sense. I like it. And that way it's closer
Speaker 1: to like your brain, if it's already in your bloodstream,
Speaker 1: like as soon as it gets into your gums. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: my thing is stupid. I should make that clear. My
Speaker 1: thing is stupid. I'm just I'm just Stupidrett Jack. I
Speaker 1: know why I believe this now, I fucking drawn a
Speaker 1: direct line into just the media of the nineties that
Speaker 1: got me on this belief. I think it's the reese'st
Speaker 1: Peanut butter commercial from around Halloween when they how Dracula
Speaker 1: eats a motherfucker Reese's peanut butter cup, and if you
Speaker 1: remember this ship, they cut back to a Reese's peanut
Speaker 1: butter cup two fucking holes in it, like he was
Speaker 1: just eating the fucking In my mind, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: he just got all the peanut butter out of that ship,
Speaker 1: And and I think that reinforced the idea too, that
Speaker 1: the fangs are just straight up straws, fank straws. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: so does this not does this not resonate with you? Jack?
Speaker 1: This image? No, this does? You just blew my fucking mind.
Speaker 1: You are the our greatest American researcher. Like this the
Speaker 1: holiest of days on this um like that, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Do we think that whoever directed that commercial believed what
Speaker 1: we believed that they had straw fangs? Or were they
Speaker 1: saying he did a little incision and then sucked the
Speaker 1: peanut butter? Right? I don't know, but right this instant,
Speaker 1: I instant, Yeah, I'm changing my Twitter name to straw fangs,
Speaker 1: so we even know what the funk I'm talking about
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be great. See, Okay, this is and
Speaker 1: remember we were talking who was it? Was it Courtney
Speaker 1: Kosak who was on this week, and we're talking about
Speaker 1: Cora that you know, Cora is popping off with this debate.
Speaker 1: Ask people asking questions, be like what is it? Do
Speaker 1: they suck the blood from the teeth like straws? Are
Speaker 1: they just piercing for a hole to suck from? And
Speaker 1: we can't even find a fucking people just believe in
Speaker 1: deeply in their hearts that this is something that like
Speaker 1: we've it's just a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. We are wrong.
Speaker 1: Like the original intention or at least the only thing
Speaker 1: that makes sense is that it was puncture wounds that
Speaker 1: they then suck the blood through. But like, this is
Speaker 1: clearly a widely held misconception. I'm trying, Like that is,
Speaker 1: we need to do a cultural history, so zeke Gang,
Speaker 1: we need your help, all right, Myles just found the
Speaker 1: earliest version of this that I reinforced this minute for
Speaker 1: me as well. You also like solved it for me
Speaker 1: to the point that I remember that and remember having
Speaker 1: the sense memory of feeling the sugar like shoot up
Speaker 1: my teeth. Like no, I like thought about that. I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, that would make your teeth so rotten
Speaker 1: and like fucked up if you had just like the
Speaker 1: sugary peanut butter shooting up through your teeth. But I
Speaker 1: think I don't think that's what gave me the idea though,
Speaker 1: I think there's let me just say, in this core question,
Speaker 1: some some person answered, right, it would seem the vampires
Speaker 1: would use the teeth of straws in most vampire movies,
Speaker 1: particularly older ones, they bite the victim on the neck
Speaker 1: and hold for a moment before the body drops to
Speaker 1: the floor. There is no visit blood. The corner is
Speaker 1: always puzzled to find two puncture wounds and a body
Speaker 1: drained of blood. Right that peoples like, oh they got
Speaker 1: no blood. Like that's one version too that you would
Speaker 1: see on immediate this This definitely resonates with me, where
Speaker 1: like if it was more PG rated, it wasn't a
Speaker 1: bloody fucking mess. It was two holes, right, And maybe
Speaker 1: this is a function of our our content rating system.
Speaker 1: Because they also said, they're going to say, I think
Speaker 1: there was a misunderstanding of how vampire bats feed on
Speaker 1: the part of the early authors and scriptwriters. This became
Speaker 1: the norm what was expected, but only and they're saying,
Speaker 1: I don't know who this person is, but that's most
Speaker 1: like more like mosquitoes who feed from putting a straw
Speaker 1: on you and sucking the blood out like that. Most
Speaker 1: likely they tear a hole in you and they're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this water balloon just exploded, let me lap it up.
Speaker 1: So people, so in the early vampire movies, they would
Speaker 1: put their teeth in but like they wouldn't form a
Speaker 1: seal over the over the neck, because that's what's important, right,
Speaker 1: If they put their teeth in, they can still suck
Speaker 1: through those two holes. By putting a seal over over
Speaker 1: the part of the neck and just draining it like
Speaker 1: straight up there, you collapse those arteries like a straw,
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you tuck too hard. This
Speaker 1: is just my point, but I don't know, let us know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like this is yeah her, she's That's why
Speaker 1: I was never good at science, because they're showing me
Speaker 1: these fucking scientific fallacies on television as if in purporting
Speaker 1: them as fact. Yeah. Um, well, Tori, such a pleasure
