Speaker 1: a bit of spoken word poetry. As some of the
Speaker 1: listeners who listened on Monday's episode with Greg and Joel,
Speaker 1: we talked about how I had a roommate who didn't
Speaker 1: know how to sweep with a broom, and I said,
Speaker 1: how the funk could you be fucking up on room?
Speaker 1: And you just go to them, Dear old roommate. I'm
Speaker 1: so so sorry I was not your mother. If I
Speaker 1: was your mother, you would have been so loved Todd
Speaker 1: right away, how to sweep floors right? Never would you
Speaker 1: lose the fight against dirt unfurled before our eyes, up
Speaker 1: pure pile of filth sitting under a woke sky. If
Speaker 1: I was your mother, the house would have been clean.
Speaker 1: You'd use a broom and not need a dice in machine.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the stain, the soul stealing pain that
Speaker 1: the little boy you were exposed to, so that you
Speaker 1: learned to hold a broom the wrong way and became
Speaker 1: dumb enough to buy a photo on eBay. Okay, shout
Speaker 1: out to Josiah George Josiah, which everyone sorry about the pronunciation.
Speaker 1: On Discord. Yes, my roommate also bought some did the
Speaker 1: old e bass game where they bought a photo of something,
Speaker 1: not the actual item that they thought they were bidding on. Wow,
Speaker 1: that was better than the original. That's it. It's the
Speaker 1: rare a k that's better than the original. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, beauty is based in the year of the Boulder,
Speaker 1: but I I enjoyed that more than the poem about
Speaker 1: how that one actress wanted to be Putin's Dead a
Speaker 1: bit of tone deaf poetry. Miles. We are thrilled fortunate
Speaker 1: to be joined in our third seat by a very
Speaker 1: talented hip hop hip hop artist, hip hop hip hop

Speaker 1: he's like halfway across the rooms gone, like holding a
Speaker 1: knife of how it happened some fast and that instinct.
Speaker 1: I have that instinct to always just find the find
Speaker 1: the most dangerous thing in the room and start with it.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how they read energy, Like they know, like
Speaker 1: when I grabbed this, they don't get as panicked as
Speaker 1: when I try for it. Yeah, they're like testing it out,
Speaker 1: you know. But it's uncanny. Like my son will like
Speaker 1: find if there's like a loose chord, I'll come in.
Speaker 1: He'll have it like wrapped around his neck. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I didn't even tell you not to do that, Like
Speaker 1: wishing how you know it's incredible. Yeah, what unbelievable? Like
Speaker 1: the the amount of ship you have on your plate.
Speaker 1: And I didn't even mention, you know, having a baby.
Speaker 1: What what what do you? What is your secret? Are you?
Speaker 1: How's how's the blood of teenagers that you're stealing and
Speaker 1: putting in your veins? Well that's number four on my
Speaker 1: list stuff like self care secrets. Yeah really it's it's
Speaker 1: all about a variety of liquids. So it's that number
Speaker 1: one is water. Drinking tons of water every day, coffee
Speaker 1: and uh being regularly so putting liquids in, put you
Speaker 1: know out, no saying hydrated. This like the realness. Everybody
Speaker 1: listening to this right now, like go to keep the
Speaker 1: headphones in, but go get Yeah, I see Miles drinking
Speaker 1: some water. What do you Okay? There we go so
Speaker 1: we're good. Yeah. So that's that's that's the life right
Speaker 1: there of what we are. So you gotta keep it refreshed.
Speaker 1: It's open, Like what's the secret. It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know the basics. I don't do that, like you know
Speaker 1: the very first thing your mom told you that's my secret.
Speaker 1: Dipshit dummy, like a vibrant and you have so much energy.
Speaker 1: Just I'm hydrating the Best life hack and drinking water. Well,
Speaker 1: al right, we are thrilled to have you here. We're
Speaker 1: excited to get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 1: At first, we're going to tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about. The cops in America
Speaker 1: have so much extra gear, they're donating it to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So we just want to take this opportunity to look
Speaker 1: at the fact that they have that gear in the
Speaker 1: first place, That the NYPD and l a p D
Speaker 1: budget is way higher than the defense budget of Ukraine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nearly double. Yeah, Well, we'll talk and that's kind of
Speaker 1: going to be the theme of our second act is
Speaker 1: just police fucker either's time piece. There's a New York
Speaker 1: Times piece over the weekend claiming like, well, you don't
Speaker 1: have to either defund the police and invest in alternatives.
Speaker 1: It's not neither or situation. You just got to do both.
Speaker 1: And so Alec Kark Santa's previous guests pointed out the
Speaker 1: reason that's bullshit. So we're gonna go through that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the people doing the real work fighting
Speaker 1: against Vladimir Putin, and that is the guys who are
Speaker 1: dumping out white Russians, making a white Russian and then
Speaker 1: dumping it out. We've talked about the Yeah, we've talked
Speaker 1: about the vodka bands. But I was at a brewery
Speaker 1: in Alabama a couple of weeks ago, and like, I
Speaker 1: asked for a Moscow mule and like she wouldn't like
Speaker 1: say the word Moscow. I was like, y'all, what is
Speaker 1: the like what literally was going on right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like why, It's like, that's because I'm sorry, because
Speaker 1: Moscow is where the Kremlin is, which is the seat
Speaker 1: of the Russian government. And I don't know if you
Speaker 1: heard about the untold the humanity arian transgressions they're committing
Speaker 1: against the people of Ukraine. So you won't say the
Speaker 1: word Monscow. No hta resistance And they're like, why you
Speaker 1: got the Confederate flag? That was a valid states rights
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that because the war has
Speaker 1: been brought back to the realm of French fries. You
Speaker 1: may remember one of the stupidest moments in modern American
Speaker 1: history when they changed we we stopped calling them French
Speaker 1: fries and started calling them freedom fries. Well, now there's
Speaker 1: a war on poutine because of that similarity. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh we have gotten We have gotten there. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about Mark Zuckerberg's sister, maybe Randy.
Speaker 1: We have to Randy. Yeah, Randy's out here, crypto scammer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So all of that plenty more. But first, Mariah, we
Speaker 1: do like to ask eric guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your searches. So in addition to googling Pacific time versus
Speaker 1: Eastern time to make sure I showed up on time
Speaker 1: to this, because I recently googled Ladyberg Lake, Austin because
Speaker 1: I am going to Austin next week for south By
Speaker 1: Southwest and staying near Ladybird Lake, and I was like,
Speaker 1: where is that? So, yeah, that's super exciting and something
Speaker 1: I had to verify today. What's Ladybird Lake? It's a
Speaker 1: lake perhaps with ladies and birds. I really have no idea.
Speaker 1: I think it's like a reservoir or something. Austin based
Speaker 1: listeners right now are going to be shaking their heads,
Speaker 1: like even look close of the map on it's a
Speaker 1: river like reservoir on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: And I do where we just read the Wikipedia page.
Speaker 1: But so that it seems like it's the main like
Speaker 1: water way that I always assumed was a river, but
Speaker 1: in in downtown Austin, like where the bridges go over
Speaker 1: maybe that's where. Yeah, yeah, that's all that's in the
Speaker 1: Congress Bridge and stuff. Yeah, oh god, it it's just
Speaker 1: like this little, like big lump in the lake that
Speaker 1: kind of looks less reverie and looks more laky. I said,
Speaker 1: Bob in the lake. Look this is we don't come
Speaker 1: here for cartography. Don't sit there like a lump in
Speaker 1: the lake. Miles Yeah, lump in the lake over here, bro.
Speaker 1: I wish my son was sitting around like a lump
Speaker 1: in the lake up the lake like, kid, How long
Speaker 1: are you there for for south By? Oh yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'll be there for about a week, playing four shows,
Speaker 1: one official showcase. I'm actually hosting my own day party
Speaker 1: at the sidebar on Saturday, play Alive on k u
Speaker 1: t X NPR affiliate down in Austin. So yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in Austin, come through. I'm see what
Speaker 1: all the fuss is about. Yeah, we'll link off too.
Speaker 1: Is there we can get a link to the page
Speaker 1: with all the info yeah, like we'll have some people
Speaker 1: down to south but oh yeah, no, there's there's there's
Speaker 1: definitely Texas. Like, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Something I think is overrated? Okay, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: like a super hot take. But like I think that
Speaker 1: the at least in Georgia. So I'm in Georgia, United
Speaker 1: States of America. But um, I think that people like
Speaker 1: people concerns about voter suppression are a little overblown. And
Speaker 1: here's why. Here's why I think it's real. I think
Speaker 1: it's real. But we saw that in the Atlanta municipal
Speaker 1: elections for mayor city council last year. Turn out was
Speaker 1: actually more people voted in that then before after they
Speaker 1: pass all their you know, voter suppression stuff. In addition,
Speaker 1: not even is it like, I don't know how much
Speaker 1: it is is gonna be an impact, etcetera. I think that
Speaker 1: people like trying to scare folks about it is actually
Speaker 1: gonna work to the end of voter supression as well.
Speaker 1: Like if you go out and tell people that aren't
Speaker 1: like committed voters, like it's harder to vote now, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, I pe someone like you know that
Speaker 1: that sounds alful, Like I don't want to get arrested
Speaker 1: for like drinking water inline or whatever, and so I
Speaker 1: just think we should focus a lot more on educating
Speaker 1: folks on how to vote given the new constraints. And
Speaker 1: this will be you know, we got big election now here,
Speaker 1: we got Stacy. Everyone's running, were knock running, and so
Speaker 1: we'll see this year will be like the testing grounds
Speaker 1: for like how impactful these laws actually are, because so
Speaker 1: far the evidence is that, I don't know, maybe people
Speaker 1: in defiance are like going out and voting more so
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know. I wonder how much is
Speaker 1: that that like people actively it's so transparent and is
Speaker 1: just like so out there that it's just like all right,
Speaker 1: fuck you. But that could be it. That could definitely
Speaker 1: be it. Yeah, I'm not trying to downplay these laws,
Speaker 1: but like sure because I know, like in Texas there's
Speaker 1: been like a huge people getting their mail in ballots rejected.
Speaker 1: But I do get like, in broader terms that rather
Speaker 1: than just being like it's so fucked up, why would
Speaker 1: you get like, don't scare people away from voting, that's
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do, Just you know, focus on
Speaker 1: it's fucked up and we need to do this. But
Speaker 1: also you know, look there's also there's a lot of
Speaker 1: that like federal at the federal level that could be done.
Speaker 1: But one problem at a time, Let's figure out how
Speaker 1: you're fucking doesn't get thrown the funk up. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: just make sure your vote gets counted. Let's just stick
Speaker 1: to that. They don't need to fear longer on either side.
Speaker 1: But once I we know what they're gonna do, And
Speaker 1: was there like in Georgia, you know, and it were
Speaker 1: was there like a huge push to kind of like
Speaker 1: lean the other way and just say, hey, it's still
Speaker 1: it's still important to turn out this is how you vote. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think folks have been doing a good job educating
Speaker 1: people on it. The stories that are splashier. This is
Speaker 1: also the media's fault because it's like catchier too to
Speaker 1: you know, write headlines that sound terrifying about the situation
Speaker 1: that then get picked up and circulated more so than
Speaker 1: what the educational efforts have been. How can you go
Speaker 1: out and vote make sure your vote is counted? So
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean we're on our game with like
Speaker 1: voter education. Like, don't get me wrong, it's just we
Speaker 1: need to really try to like hype that up so
Speaker 1: folks don't feel discouraged. I think the reason to why
Speaker 1: some people get like talk less about what the efforts
Speaker 1: are of like activists on the ground is because on
Speaker 1: some level there's like this idea. It's like, don't have
Speaker 1: activists keep bailing this party out that's barely doing ship
Speaker 1: for them. And so that's also part of the conversation too,
Speaker 1: where you like, man, I know we're tired, Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 1: But at the same but ship, there are still people
Speaker 1: out there who fundamentally are trying to make sure that
Speaker 1: people have the ability to vote. And yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: there's also that tension to where it's like we also
Speaker 1: look at leadership in the in d scene or like
Speaker 1: where the funk are y'all at? Yeah, like where someone
Speaker 1: asked me today, like, oh, have you ever thought about
Speaker 1: running for higher office? And I considered it, But like
Speaker 1: those people like federal even state level, like they don't
Speaker 1: get to be out with the people really like they
Speaker 1: don't even see the people. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: they want to see the people. I like being a
Speaker 1: local lect official because I because I ran into this
Speaker 1: dude on my walk that like we had toyment conversation
Speaker 1: about local politics. You don't you don't get that from
Speaker 1: your congressman. So exactly the end out here in these
Speaker 1: streets mm hmm. Yeah, they're just on endless phone calls
Speaker 1: with donors. I feel like, what is something you think
Speaker 1: is under radar? You know, like like dancing around your
Speaker 1: house like recently, Okay, so I'm real slow, I'm no,
Speaker 1: but I just got on TikTok and it's given me
Speaker 1: an excuse to like dance around in my house when
Speaker 1: a baby sleep. And I was like, oh man, not
Speaker 1: only do I have like excellent dance moves that I
Speaker 1: forgot about? Yeah, I like I broke a sweat and
Speaker 1: then breathing heavily. Like it's like a mini little workout.
Speaker 1: So if it's like raining or whatever, you want to
Speaker 1: go to the gym and gets spit on by somebody
Speaker 1: got COVID, like just you know, just bust out a
Speaker 1: couple of moves, put it on, put it on a reel.
Speaker 1: Are you hitting challenges or are you just oh no, no
Speaker 1: no no, I just danced the random ship that like, okay,
Speaker 1: I was just TikTok. I'm like, oh, you're you're there now.
Speaker 1: Oh no, not like that, not to disparage that. That's
Speaker 1: cool and fine because now I'm on TikTok. Who am
Speaker 1: I to judge? But no, I just like put on
Speaker 1: my favorite jem, maybe some tanging to bangers or whatever,
Speaker 1: and like, OK, just flex a little bit. Yeah, what's uh?
Speaker 1: I mean? I man, there's this one. There's like one
Speaker 1: flying Lotus song that I remember I vacuuming too, and
Speaker 1: then I turned into some like weird hood fredis stare
Speaker 1: thing with the vacuum and then yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 1: there's just like certain things I'm like starting to do
Speaker 1: the robot and ship. I don't even I can't even
Speaker 1: really do the fucking robot, but like this music is
Speaker 1: informing my body how to move. Those are those are
Speaker 1: very underrated moments of braking and then dancing when the
Speaker 1: kid gets when the kids get a little older, that's
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's gone. I feel like that's one of
Speaker 1: the life extenders. Are like the things that keep your
Speaker 1: brain young type things that you hear about that I
Speaker 1: actually believe in is dance. Like dancing they say, because
Speaker 1: it like promotes like the elasticity and like thinking in
Speaker 1: the moment. Just actually, you can't dance if you're not
Speaker 1: in the actual moments. It was like, but I feel
Speaker 1: like people tend to just immediately need jerk, say like
Speaker 1: yoga meditation, but like dancing puts you in the moment
Speaker 1: to take a little five minute bag, three minute break. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, what's jack, what's something that gets You're put
Speaker 1: some honey in your hips because you're gets your big
Speaker 1: toe shooting up in your boot. It's really situational. You know,
Speaker 1: it can be anything that's a cop out. Come on, No,
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't want us to know his kryptonite,
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna open the show with like his secret
Speaker 1: like weiss, and then he's just gonna be jiggling around
Speaker 1: instead of recording the show. I do a lot of
Speaker 1: car dancing, so it's really whatever whatever. I'm listening to
Speaker 1: a lot in the car. But like, my kids love
Speaker 1: dancing to the Beatles, which is like, that's not that's
Speaker 1: not really danceable music. And I don't let them. I
Speaker 1: don't let them, like, hey, why don't you ever come
Speaker 1: to prom It's like, well, my dad yelled at me
Speaker 1: for dancing to the Beetle. We basically have to playlists.
Speaker 1: One is like music I like the you know, I
Speaker 1: just pick up into pen wherever around the world from
Speaker 1: TV shows. And then one is like, oh, I bet
Speaker 1: they would like this song that like pops into my head.
Speaker 1: So like that's all we listen to basically at all times.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm taking with them. I'm taking the approach
Speaker 1: of I think it'll make them better dancers if I
Speaker 1: take the parenting approach of the preacher from Footloose and
Speaker 1: I just say that they're not allowed to dance anywhere
Speaker 1: that it breathes sin, And then I catch them dancing
Speaker 1: and throwing dance parties and in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: what you have copies of breaking all over the house
Speaker 1: that they can want Turbo's got moves? Like, what did
Speaker 1: I say about evoking Turbo's name? In this house, we
Speaker 1: do not speak of boogaloo shrimp here. Yeah, how about
Speaker 1: you Miles with your visit? Well, god fucking anything that
Speaker 1: honestly depends on the beat, honestly sucking anything anything except
Speaker 1: for like classical I mean something obviously with like a
Speaker 1: proper like backbeat to it. But the last thing that
Speaker 1: I think, oh it was probably it's there's just this one.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what it was? I think it was
Speaker 1: MC squared by Jay Diller and Common. I was just
Speaker 1: listening to that song the other day because there's just
Speaker 1: the drones are sold your neck will snap into But
Speaker 1: then I just start getting like I can't can't control
Speaker 1: myself them down from your music recommendations, Nouveau Western, I
Speaker 1: think that was you. That's that's heavy rotation with both
Speaker 1: my playlists and my kids playlist and yeah that we
Speaker 1: were getting down to that. That's got a good sample. Yeah, yeah, Bryan,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you dance to? What's your
Speaker 1: what gets you? So? Yeah, Tank of the Bang Is,
Speaker 1: I'll put on some gold Link. He had that new
Speaker 1: album out in December. Remember it was great. It was
Speaker 1: so good. Um, I like to I love putting on
Speaker 1: weird stuff to dance to, to like just stretch the
Speaker 1: boundaries of what you can do hip hop dance moves too.
Speaker 1: So the other night I was dancing to um Big
Speaker 1: Rock Candy Mountain Bye Harry from the Right. So I
Speaker 1: was like, let I get down to this, Let's put
Speaker 1: it on to see if I could like popping lock too? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well how about song? So that it up that song
Speaker 1: makes so much sense to me when I'm incredibly hungry.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yeah, it's like a love song to candy,
Speaker 1: just like rock candy. Yeah, what a time, what a time?
Speaker 1: The depression must have done. That seem a big rock
Speaker 1: candy mount, big rock candy mount. That song. It's that's
Speaker 1: a funny, that's you know, it's weird though is I've
Speaker 1: only seen oh brother like maybe once, but I will
Speaker 1: not forget that that song. Probably I won't forget that
Speaker 1: song because I was like, damn big rock. That movie
Speaker 1: was them streaming out a really good soundtrack. They're just like,
Speaker 1: we'll put some images with us. But what as a
Speaker 1: as a musician do you have a strategy for? Is
Speaker 1: it it's a little early right for your baby, but
Speaker 1: what do you have a strategy for like what you're
Speaker 1: gonna expose him to? And wanting to ask you all
Speaker 1: about that, because like, we listen to a lot of
Speaker 1: hip hop around the house, and we've been like wondering
Speaker 1: to ourselves, at what time we need to like find
Speaker 1: kid friendly hip hop when he's gonna start picking up
Speaker 1: on words, you know, because we put on some like
Speaker 1: R C J or whatever, and but like at some
Speaker 1: point he might be like, fuck, you know, just learning
Speaker 1: the lingo. So I don't know. I don't really know
Speaker 1: what the strategy is gonna be when we get there,
Speaker 1: because I'm not I'm not wanting to like censor much,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to go into school and be
Speaker 1: like I press on you she was in public. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tricky because they only put out the clean versions
Speaker 1: of the big hits usually, right right, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that the thing my dad did would be like, well,
Speaker 1: if I want to be able to dance to stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's not some like soft ass kids. Ship played
Speaker 1: a lot of like afrobeat like Fella Cootie and stuff,
Speaker 1: so like I don't know, like I'm not understanding of
Speaker 1: the lyrics, but the music is like super high energy
Speaker 1: and like you know, those are like fucking eight minutes songs,
Speaker 1: so it's like, yo, what's the good point? Also, I
Speaker 1: just thought about, okay, instrumentals to put the instrumental on
Speaker 1: and I can like if it's like a song that
Speaker 1: like it's my song, like like you know, like I know,
Speaker 1: you know, where's a little bit I can throw things
Speaker 1: and take things out. You know, sometime might be the move.
Speaker 1: It's like, yo, it's like you should hear my mom
Speaker 1: they did the verse on there, like it's called control.
Speaker 1: Some people think Kendrick Lamar did it. No. I remember
Speaker 1: growing up that beat would be on. My mom would
Speaker 1: just spit that ship. Yo. That's so funny because when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, you know that song Peaches by
Speaker 1: the Presidents of the United States of America like go.
Speaker 1: I thought that my older brothers had made that song
Speaker 1: up until I got older and saw the music video
Speaker 1: on MTV, and I was furious. I was like, Aaron Sean,
Speaker 1: they like they stole your song, so like I can
Speaker 1: totally matched the scenario. He grows up and it's like
Speaker 1: he here he like sees Kendrick Lamar and the super
Speaker 1: Bowl and it's like, wait, is that not is that not?
Speaker 1: Is that not your Wait? My mom always you say
Speaker 1: we gonna be all right, that's that's not like family saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, world tradition, man. I would actually that would
Speaker 1: be I think that's what I would do to my kid.
Speaker 1: I would just play instrumentals and I would split everything
Speaker 1: from the first Clips album how uh Lord Willen and
Speaker 1: they would think that like I think my dad is
Speaker 1: pushed your tea and balance. That's amazing. Multifaceted rappers is
Speaker 1: talking to me as if make an eye contact, be
Speaker 1: in the same boat. I tell them, quick, no move
Speaker 1: coke Like what that's a great Hack's great? All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back. And the Pentagon has been given their hand
Speaker 1: me downs to local law enforcement for three decades. You
Speaker 1: may have noticed it, at least outward streets officially, right
Speaker 1: there's weapons, vehicles gear like all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: police look like they're in a first person shooter said
Speaker 1: in like a war zone base. That's what they think
Speaker 1: it is, too. They're like, it's like it's like the
Speaker 1: pal Pal games that play as a kid, only they
Speaker 1: really die. Like watch how these poor people want that
Speaker 1: expanse to like you were saying, miles is expansed to
Speaker 1: their how they describe our cities as hostile war zones?
Speaker 1: Like no, exactly, I mean you you know, dressed for
Speaker 1: the job you want. I guess, uh, then that's how
Speaker 1: the police dress like they're an occupying force in a
Speaker 1: hostile war zone. And you know, like along with getting
Speaker 1: free stuff from the Pentagon or like, all right, we
Speaker 1: developed better killing things here take the old ones. Pat.
Speaker 1: The budgets of the police departments are also eye watering.
Speaker 1: We talk about this a lot, but just again, just
Speaker 1: for some perspective, right, the ny p D and l
Speaker 1: a p D, they both spend around eleven billion dollars,
Speaker 1: not collectively each, they're spending leven billion dollars a year,
Speaker 1: okay to quote unquote keep us safe and fight crime
Speaker 1: and that ship. Honestly, if you gave away a living
Speaker 1: eleven billion dollars in cash two people in these cities
Speaker 1: who actually needed it, that would do a hell of
Speaker 1: a lot more for fucking crime rates than being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we need to investor ship in like night vision goggles,
Speaker 1: more helicopter fuel and all this other nonsense. But again,
Speaker 1: please tell us why spending more money is going to
Speaker 1: give us the outcome of Laura and crime. But we're
Speaker 1: giving more money and the crime rates go up. It's
Speaker 1: almost like one doesn't have to do it the other.
Speaker 1: So anyway, now, there are like numerous police departments around
Speaker 1: the country that are so overstocked with like old tactical gear,
Speaker 1: ballistic vests, helmets, etcetera. They're kind of like Hey, why
Speaker 1: don't you just send this to Ukraine because the civilians
Speaker 1: might need that for you know, defending their own like
Speaker 1: urban environments against you know, Russia. And a lot of
Speaker 1: departments have said that it's come like people have asked
Speaker 1: like local like Ukrainian charities or like people within the
Speaker 1: department who have Ukrainian family have been like, hey, they
Speaker 1: could really use this stuff. But it's just a surreal situation,
Speaker 1: like when you read headlines like this, because again, when
Speaker 1: you consider that those aforementioned budgets and you realize that
Speaker 1: the defense budget for the entire nation of Ukraine is
Speaker 1: not even six billion dollars, bananas, bananas. Those forty one
Speaker 1: million people who live on the border of Russia who
Speaker 1: have openly been like, we are about to funk you
Speaker 1: up for the past at least decade, many more, and
Speaker 1: their defense budget is six billion. The city of Los
Speaker 1: Angeles has a population of for four million people, and
Speaker 1: they're theyllion dollars. Insane, insanity. All Right, I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta like another hot take on this, since we're talking
Speaker 1: about the military and the police together. I got away
Speaker 1: for the cops to win and also for us to
Speaker 1: pour tons of money into the community. To actually get
Speaker 1: at the roots of crime. We gotta to fund the
Speaker 1: Pentagon because look, they had a budget of like seven
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars this year. The Congress actually
Speaker 1: gave them more money than they asked for, despite the
Speaker 1: fact that they lost like they were found to have
Speaker 1: lost like eighty million dollars, like lost lost track of
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars in in construction contracts, gave seven million
Speaker 1: dollars to a one person company for cloud computing software,
Speaker 1: so like all of this stuff, and seventy two billion
Speaker 1: dollars for this thing called the Overseas Contingency Operations Fund,
Speaker 1: which allows them to just go to military operations without
Speaker 1: any sort of congressional approval. So we take all that money,
Speaker 1: just take Pentagon budgets. We could like and homeless this community,
Speaker 1: gardens on every corner, free you know, education, etcetera. And
Speaker 1: then we don't have to come after the cops. They
Speaker 1: can do you know, they can be chilling. They would
Speaker 1: have less to do because there would be less crime
Speaker 1: because we actually invested things people need, you see, like
Speaker 1: the cops are something like we need to talk about
Speaker 1: the Military Industrial Company. Yeah, you know, that's the weird
Speaker 1: alliance that has what you've been waiting for, like strange
Speaker 1: bed photos. Suddenly they're like, yeah, being honestly, I like,
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about our budgets. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. There we go, that's some what about him?
Speaker 1: M I can get behind, yeah, you know, and then
Speaker 1: maybe like if there was you know, if the Pentagon
Speaker 1: had less like insane military technology, they wouldn't have so
Speaker 1: many hand me downs to then militarize our local communities
Speaker 1: with so everybody wins. Everybody wins. So I'm just saying, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think this is Alex Villanueva of the l. A.
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department. If you're listening, this might be a good
Speaker 1: strategy put down our rancorps and our you know, spite
Speaker 1: towards each other and unite in the cause of exactly
Speaker 1: if he's like, I mean, I would He's like, the
Speaker 1: l A. Sheriff's Apartment would never need Thermo barrack communitions. Okay,
Speaker 1: those are also banned by the Geneva Convention. Okay, that's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: although who knows, maybe one day it might get it
Speaker 1: might get there, But right now we don't need them.
Speaker 1: So the question of what to do about funding the police,
Speaker 1: just the New York Times positive and a piece over
Speaker 1: the weekend that over last weekend that you can just
Speaker 1: it's a false dichotomy, it's a false choice. You can
Speaker 1: do both. You can just give the you can give
Speaker 1: the police tons more money, and you can fund alternatives
Speaker 1: to the police. So this dude who we had on before,
Speaker 1: Alec Karrick and Santis, who really focuses on like prison abolition,
Speaker 1: So he's amazing. So he's he's basically saying like, actually,
Speaker 1: it doesn't work like it. So the policy idea that
Speaker 1: the New York Times of defending was taken from a
Speaker 1: sentence and Biden stated the union that got like, I
Speaker 1: guess some bipartisan to prove that. But the problem being
Speaker 1: that the police and the prison industrial complex are you know,
Speaker 1: much more well funded than any other social service, more
Speaker 1: well armed and authorized to use violence than anybody or
Speaker 1: anything is allowed to be in America, more represented by
Speaker 1: the media. But most importantly, they are not fucking interested
Speaker 1: in solving the problem. They are interested in perpetuating the
Speaker 1: problem and perpetuating a system where they make people scared.
Speaker 1: People are afraid people feel like they need these extremely
Speaker 1: well funded police departments, like that's been shown over and
Speaker 1: over and over. Yeah, I mean, here's my middle ground
Speaker 1: solution what I've been working on in my local government
Speaker 1: because like you know, I was like leading the charge,
Speaker 1: like let's cut the police budget, etcetera. But at this point,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, can we just not increase it?
Speaker 1: Like crime and that historic lows. We all know that,
Speaker 1: let's just not like like let's just hold it at
Speaker 1: what it is. Instead the given them more money year
Speaker 1: after year and that's like several million dollars over ten
Speaker 1: years to put into other stuff. Like does that not
Speaker 1: like a compromise for everyone? Like yeah, And I feel
Speaker 1: like as those things succeed, yeah, you could, but but
Speaker 1: it seems like Biden he said, like in his state
Speaker 1: of Union, I believe like we don't need to defund
Speaker 1: the police. We need to like fund it even more,
Speaker 1: like just invest in police. And so Alec kind of
Speaker 1: pulled all this research on on this article. He always
Speaker 1: got the oh my god, always got the receipts. So
Speaker 1: he was like, this article omits research showing modern policing
Speaker 1: does not reduce crime, and the few pro police studies.
Speaker 1: He cherry pick the author from The New York Times
Speaker 1: cherry picks are flawed. They omit crimes committed by cops
Speaker 1: one counting crimes. You think that would be an important
Speaker 1: detail if you're trying to effectiveness. Yeah, but even the
Speaker 1: like very flawed cop research that the article sites like
Speaker 1: eventually shows later in the article the policing has very
Speaker 1: limited short term effects on small areas, and the positive
Speaker 1: effects evaporate over time. So it's like and the US
Speaker 1: in the middle of like funding like going just real
Speaker 1: heavy in this direction, Like if policing could solve crime
Speaker 1: and make what if it made communities safers safer, the
Speaker 1: U s would have the safest societies in the history
Speaker 1: of the world period. So I mean was going on
Speaker 1: And what I found interestingly in my time in public service,
Speaker 1: particularly lately as I've gotten i would say, more savvy
Speaker 1: and like making these arguments to people, like it really
Speaker 1: uncovers the degree to which a lot of elected officials
Speaker 1: just have no understand like no idea, no basis for
Speaker 1: why we should do what we do. Like I went
Speaker 1: all in on the drug war in December and pulled
Speaker 1: all these stats about the effectiveness of decriminalizing drugs and
Speaker 1: Portugal and like the American Public Health Association endorsing like
Speaker 1: a resolution to like to you know, defund and refund effectively.
Speaker 1: And like I was like, yo, if I'm wrong, somebody
Speaker 1: tell me. And literally no one could you know, bring
Speaker 1: to the table any evidence to refute what I was saying.
Speaker 1: And it was just like, oh, okay, just bringing to
Speaker 1: light that, like these folks really don't they don't do
Speaker 1: the math, they don't do the research, they don't do
Speaker 1: the homework. And yeah, no imagination for it either, no
Speaker 1: imagination for it either. And so like to look at
Speaker 1: this place that decriminalized drugs, Yeah, substance use treatment went up,
Speaker 1: like other associated crimes with drugs went down. Like so,
Speaker 1: I mean I think bringing these facts forward, I mean
Speaker 1: it helps advance the conversation because while they couldn't refute it.
Speaker 1: Because they couldn't refute it, they're like I I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna vote no on like renewing our Federal Drug Task
Speaker 1: Force funding today, but like I get behind funding more
Speaker 1: substance abuse treatment next year. So like it helps these
Speaker 1: small narrative shifts that you know, plant the seats for
Speaker 1: some real change. But Yeah, it's wild. The folks like
Speaker 1: just don't even don't even look at the stuff, like
Speaker 1: what Alec has pulled here? Right right? Sometimes, Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean we've we've been talking a lot about real
Speaker 1: estate and the importance of you know, the real estate
Speaker 1: industry and a lot of just bad ship that happens
Speaker 1: in America. But you know, he points out that the
Speaker 1: police kind of are the muscle behind like enforcing inequality
Speaker 1: by you know, withdraw moving people away from places that
Speaker 1: have value, you know, value to real estate people. You know,
Speaker 1: I think this is a direct quill controlling the poor
Speaker 1: to benefit real estate developers. And the surveillance and brutal
Speaker 1: infiltration of social movements are too consistent and defining features
Speaker 1: of the last one and twenty five years of policing
Speaker 1: and those yeah, you that is incompatible with the alternatives
Speaker 1: that people are talking about, which is all about you know,
Speaker 1: reducing inequality and finding ways to invest in people, and
Speaker 1: those are yeah, yeah, I've been on that stuff about
Speaker 1: like the housing gangs like Hella lately, because they really
Speaker 1: like housing developers really are they are gangs exactly. They
Speaker 1: exploited dependency, just like drug dealers exploit someone who's addicted
Speaker 1: to math or something like that. If you don't play
Speaker 1: by their rules, they use violence to enforce them. So
Speaker 1: if you get evicted or if you're homeless, they use
Speaker 1: the state rather than their own violence to crack down
Speaker 1: them people that won't play the game. And similar as
Speaker 1: drug dealing. If you're like wealthy, you can get your
Speaker 1: fixed and not get any punishment. But if you're poor
Speaker 1: and you're like camping out or you can't you know,
Speaker 1: afford rent this month, like then that's when the cops
Speaker 1: come for you. So it's just like the drug war.
Speaker 1: They are absolutely corporate housing developers are absolutely just car tals,
Speaker 1: you know, exploiting the dependency period. And in l A
Speaker 1: we have Rick Caruso running for a mayor of l A.
Speaker 1: Rick Cruso is one of the biggest developers in the city,
Speaker 1: like and talk like the joke always being like you know,
Speaker 1: also sits on like these like benevolent Police, you know,
Speaker 1: the society type boards and stuff like that because he
Speaker 1: pays a lot of money to keep on house people
Speaker 1: the funk out of the grove and ship like that,
Speaker 1: and other shopping centers that his company runs. Because that's
Speaker 1: how it all works and like, yeah, you're not even
Speaker 1: seeing like it's so it's so like overt to the
Speaker 1: point it's like, well, now I'm the fucking mayre, y'all,
Speaker 1: Like and think of how many people you look at,
Speaker 1: most people in a lot of cities or most cities,
Speaker 1: how much you need the backing of real estate developers
Speaker 1: to even ascend city politics, because they damn sure don't
Speaker 1: want people who are going to start being like we
Speaker 1: need to read thing zoning laws and like what kind
Speaker 1: of buildings were making because this ship doesn't serve anybody
Speaker 1: except for a very small group. And yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: but more and more, you know, you want people to
Speaker 1: really begin to see the links between private property, uh
Speaker 1: and the violence that is, you know, acted out against
Speaker 1: other people in pursuit of that. We the the way
Speaker 1: that I like first started paying more attention to the
Speaker 1: role that real estate has in this is there is
Speaker 1: that l a magazine article that was like, is l
Speaker 1: A really as scary as it seems? And it had
Speaker 1: like a shrieking white woman on the cover like looking
Speaker 1: through blinds out out her window, like, and so it
Speaker 1: seemed like, oh, this is gonna be them being like no,
Speaker 1: you guys are sucking out of your minds. But no,
Speaker 1: it was all just like on the one hand, the
Speaker 1: statistics show that things are fine and like not even
Speaker 1: close to being you know, unprecedented for like even recent
Speaker 1: history of l A. On the other hand, here a
Speaker 1: bunch of anecdotes from scared rich people, who are you know,
Speaker 1: going to say wild ship? And I noticed that one
Speaker 1: of the key sources. So that person, that author who
Speaker 1: wrote that piece for l A magazine, his background was
Speaker 1: real estate reporting and his one of his key sources
Speaker 1: was Rick Cruso, and he like name dropped that Rick
Speaker 1: Cruso was thinking about a mayoral bid in that article.
Speaker 1: And now Rick Cruso is running for mayor. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that dude would get a really nice, cushy position.
Speaker 1: If that's another thing that Ale carts tanis. I don't
Speaker 1: know if sayings her name right, but um, he talks
Speaker 1: about a lot. Is like the sources people site in
Speaker 1: these articles to say that what they're saying is backed
Speaker 1: up by experts. It's so it's like, oh, like a
Speaker 1: criminologist that was formerly in the c i A. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: experts as like former police officers, former prosecutors when ibe
Speaker 1: if you talk to most criminologists, if you talked to historians,
Speaker 1: talk to sociologists, like, the pattern is clear of the
Speaker 1: way that this, you know, policing does drive inequality. But
Speaker 1: let's quote you know, the billionaire real estate developer on
Speaker 1: you know, what's the future of Los Angeles should look like?
Speaker 1: So right, it's like a and and they helped me
Speaker 1: out on a couple of deals. So I kind of
Speaker 1: needed I got. I kind of got their back now
Speaker 1: because I, you know, pretty quickly changed my career from
Speaker 1: talking about real estate to city crime, switched to that beat.
Speaker 1: And then you look at Rick Caruso's you know campaign
Speaker 1: website and the top three issues are and two of
Speaker 1: the three sort of basically relate to how police brutalize
Speaker 1: the poor. First one is end straight homelessness. Read Rick's
Speaker 1: detailed plan into how's the homeless? How about how's the unhoused?
Speaker 1: Anyway and get people the care they need to get
Speaker 1: back on their feet. I doubt that. Then the next
Speaker 1: one's public safety, which goes hand in hand with your
Speaker 1: article you're referencing, which is trying to put the seeds
Speaker 1: in people's heads, which is like everything so fucked up.
Speaker 1: We need law and order. We need law and order,
Speaker 1: we need public safety. We need more people who are
Speaker 1: going to reinforce the idea that police and law enforcement
Speaker 1: and you know, state violence is actually the key here
Speaker 1: to getting things back on track. That l amag article
Speaker 1: has multiple use of of the phrase, but still after using,
Speaker 1: after quoting a bunch of facts, but still feels very
Speaker 1: very scary out there according to this person. And then
Speaker 1: the New York Times piece over the weekend Alec pointed
Speaker 1: out that there's a quote that says both sides work
Speaker 1: best together, experts said, And then he says, this sentence
Speaker 1: belongs in the journalism Hall of Fame because it's just
Speaker 1: a vague allusion to like some experts. But it's actually
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have anything backing it up other than
Speaker 1: like this person the police union experts said. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: prett job, Yeah, well done, congrats killing the game. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about how to really solve a problem, that is
Speaker 1: by changing the name of poutine, and we're back, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like poutine has become the new freedom fries.
Speaker 1: This report comes from the front lines from our writer
Speaker 1: J M McNabb up in Canada, and you know, first
Speaker 1: of all, you gave us a little bit of an
Speaker 1: update on the bars renaming, you know, rejecting Russian vodka
Speaker 1: and white Russians and Moscow mules have been now renamed.
Speaker 1: A conservative talk show host Jesse Kelly claimed the other
Speaker 1: day that he made himself a white Russian then dumped
Speaker 1: it in the sink ingrats. Bro, that's sick. I want
Speaker 1: that to be true. I just want to like picture
Speaker 1: him making himself to drink and then duffing like yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and then like putting his fucking like getting his like
Speaker 1: Soviet flag behind him. He's like that's practice right there.
Speaker 1: He's like, I live this ship, live breathe resistance. Yeah okay, bro.
Speaker 1: And Austin, Texas eatery called Russian House is renaming itself
Speaker 1: simply house, which feels that's that's not good, y'all, that's
Speaker 1: not a good. That was poorly thought out. That do
Speaker 1: you want to know what? Do you want to go
Speaker 1: to the house tonight? Which house? You know? The one?
Speaker 1: You know the one? Hey, let's take you to the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, ye take it to the house. Themed
Speaker 1: around the Hue Laurie medical drama, the House Restaurant and
Speaker 1: all years massive Attack playing give you a lap, right,
Speaker 1: like this idea, this like superficial shore, like it has
Speaker 1: the words in it. Fuck that because it has the
Speaker 1: words in it. It's like the other version of just
Speaker 1: like big black square energy on Instagram in the summer energy.
Speaker 1: That's the same as like, man, I don't really want
Speaker 1: to learn too much or really urs through it, so
Speaker 1: I really understand the nuance here. It looks like a
Speaker 1: lot of people are mad at this thing. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hop in and do the absolute minum. Yeah, I'd love
Speaker 1: to take some performative action that distracts from the actual
Speaker 1: issues here, so that takes up a headline in my
Speaker 1: local paper and not actually what's happening on the ground
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Yeah, I did my ally ship today. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go local man. Poor local man pours liquid into
Speaker 1: sink and solidarity like so brave. So in the grand
Speaker 1: tradition of Freedom Fries, which is there. Do do we
Speaker 1: think that there's a part of the American populist that
Speaker 1: like remembers that fondly as like a time that we
Speaker 1: all came together and said we won't be pushed around
Speaker 1: by France by renaming French fries. Robly Halimburton, I would
Speaker 1: imagine Lockheed Martin, you know those contractors that were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right with the contracts of finding um stoked about
Speaker 1: Freedom Fries. But I don't know if anybody else remember
Speaker 1: that fondly. I mean, it was just like a thing
Speaker 1: that everybody laughed at because they're like, this county won't
Speaker 1: let us unilaterally decide to fucking start a war in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Like that was the reason, right that
Speaker 1: they're like they're all trying to like pump the brakes
Speaker 1: on this ship funk out of here. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the origin that they changed the name,
Speaker 1: like in the cafeteria like on the Capitol or something,
Speaker 1: or at the White House. And that's how like it
Speaker 1: first started. It started so back then. It was February
Speaker 1: two thousand three in a North Carolina restaurant. Was widely
Speaker 1: publicized a month later when then Republican Chairman of the
Speaker 1: Committee of House Administration Bob Nay renamed the menu item
Speaker 1: in three congressional cafeterias, right, and people were like, okay, again,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, we should have people should have known
Speaker 1: this was coming because they're like, oh, we don't like
Speaker 1: them anything that's associated with it. We're done with it.
Speaker 1: It's unconceivable. It's because like just google how to help,
Speaker 1: like literally like their spuns as people getting all sorts
Speaker 1: of hygiene supplies over there and like food aid contribute.
Speaker 1: But like literally, it's just like I am, I'm I
Speaker 1: don't I forgot how to google. I guess I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pour this liquid down the think yeah right, yeah, and
Speaker 1: you can meme it. You can, you know, you can
Speaker 1: do do it on Instagram or TikTok. You know. They're
Speaker 1: like I told my children to stop playing tetris because
Speaker 1: that is also Russian. We do not funk around here.
Speaker 1: We will also not use helicopters because I mean someone
Speaker 1: definitely did that, right, Yeah, there has to be someone
Speaker 1: completely stupid yet to do that. So the problem, well
Speaker 1: this is not the problem, but the problem as these
Speaker 1: people see it, is that Putin, like Vladimir Putin's last name,
Speaker 1: translates it into French as poutine, and people like that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like that's just how it translates. Some people
Speaker 1: say it's because the other more obvious, like trans lation
Speaker 1: is a French swear word, and so they like made
Speaker 1: it poutine. Other people are like, no, that's just how
Speaker 1: this really translates into French. But yeah, either way, a
Speaker 1: diner in Quebec has retired the word poutine, and that
Speaker 1: diner claims to be the birthplace of poutine. Now JM
Speaker 1: comes through and says, but they didn't really invented they
Speaker 1: just added the gravy. I will I will take issue
Speaker 1: with use the word just there, because the gravy for me,
Speaker 1: is the most important part of the poutine. I'm offended
Speaker 1: by the concept of just cheese curds on fries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it originally was. Somebody was at a Quebec
Speaker 1: dairy farming town in ninety seven and asked to throw
Speaker 1: the cheese curds and French fries in a bag together
Speaker 1: and called it poutine, which is a slang for a mess.
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think they were fully what
Speaker 1: what we what I know and love as poutine until
Speaker 1: they dropped that gray to be on there. I just
Speaker 1: don't what are they solving by it's because it's not
Speaker 1: This has literally nothing to do with Vladimir putin media
Speaker 1: grab it's like seizing this opportunity to get aheadline. I
Speaker 1: really think that. And it's folks that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: we think about we think about activism in terms of
Speaker 1: consumer choices so often like performative, like you know, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, like, I don't know, change the name of
Speaker 1: my restaurant, thinking about in terms of commerce rather than
Speaker 1: just like give your material resources over to people who
Speaker 1: needed non transactionally without expecting any benefit, Like nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: like you, nobody has to know just do it. But
Speaker 1: it's like, how can I do this in a way
Speaker 1: that's gonna garner me attention? Right? Right? Does funk all?
Speaker 1: And And again it's it's such a clear like clearly
Speaker 1: missing the point because you're just saying, like it rhymes,
Speaker 1: that's bad. But I will also call it my master bedroom,
Speaker 1: because I don't know about any sort of linguistic implications
Speaker 1: or storical references that might make I will still call
Speaker 1: it a master bedroom. Like that's where it's That's where
Speaker 1: you're like, this is so inconsistent. But again I think
Speaker 1: speaks to your point where I that this isn't about
Speaker 1: anything to do with being in solidarity with anything except
Speaker 1: your fucking ego, and you're talking about thinking like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe some more some similarly minded people that like don't
Speaker 1: understand actually how to affect any kind of change, or
Speaker 1: like I came in, yeah, we we we wanted to
Speaker 1: put our money where our mouth is with support for
Speaker 1: Ukraine by coming to buy your dumb fries with no
Speaker 1: gravy apparently anyway, right right, right, we the people who
Speaker 1: just changed the name were the first to put Gravey
Speaker 1: on it. So I am saying like this is a
Speaker 1: significant step in the world of Putine because they are,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the effective inventors of Putine. Damn shame
Speaker 1: how far they have fallen since the grain, you know, right.
Speaker 1: They're like, I will also not use the periodic table
Speaker 1: of elements because I heard that was also invented by
Speaker 1: a Russian. They're like, you can play this game real
Speaker 1: quick and not be using shit, don't do anything, but like,
Speaker 1: so be you know, if you're really about it, then
Speaker 1: be like I don't use fucking solar cell like energy
Speaker 1: family all kinds of weird ship my phone in a leg,
Speaker 1: But it also seems very American, like I've referenced the
Speaker 1: last time it's like World War two. It's like, all right, man,
Speaker 1: if you're a Japanese, there's no historical member, there's no
Speaker 1: like awareness of like we've completely been here before and
Speaker 1: realized later how funked up it was and like learned nothing,
Speaker 1: learned nothing. And some of these places, these institutions are
Speaker 1: responding to the death threats and ship that's like being
Speaker 1: said because they serve these things, or at least that's
Speaker 1: where they're claiming. So I'm gonna need to see some screenshots, sir.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure people might be mad, but guess what,
Speaker 1: they probably know less than you if that is the
Speaker 1: if that's bringing them to that point. Damn, I mean,
Speaker 1: like there's so many the other reason to be mad
Speaker 1: at what's going on, rather than like this place dis
Speaker 1: rhymes with the guy's name by the way, you know
Speaker 1: who created and instituted the and continues to repeat the
Speaker 1: phrase master bedroom as real estate agents industry exactly open
Speaker 1: your third eye, just saying anyways, Uh, don't give in
Speaker 1: to the bullshit harassment if that's what's happening, and don't
Speaker 1: jump on the fucking let's change anything Russian two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and guess what if you're friends like that. You can
Speaker 1: be the really smartass and go hold on, man, turn
Speaker 1: that label around. See where that's made. Not in Russia.
Speaker 1: Well it almost sounds like they just they own the name.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Russia anymore. Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Was that bottled there? And even then, are you sure
Speaker 1: that affects the government because that I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Check we're
Speaker 1: sending a message, Miles. Yeah, it's gonna fucking hear as
Speaker 1: loud and clear. We break stuff that we don't like
Speaker 1: the American way, right it. I don't understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how these people's political persuasion is. But
Speaker 1: like I thought only dumb people like burned the nikes
Speaker 1: they bought because matter or whatever. You know, some blue
Speaker 1: no matter who type people also doing this ship. Like
Speaker 1: I can't believe what's going on. Like I had, I
Speaker 1: stopped watching the Netflix series Russian Doll because that was
Speaker 1: too far say it affairs here we are. And I
Speaker 1: saw one of those Russian dolls. You can't trust them,
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like one and then there's like
Speaker 1: ten more and then like this one to be the
Speaker 1: last one, oh my, and another one and another one
Speaker 1: that DJ Kalid doll, that's the DJ kald then comes
Speaker 1: out He's like, I got a major key alert name
Speaker 1: in the Russian doll to the Kalid doll. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know who would make a good Russian doll? Did
Speaker 1: call here? The most any human being has ever been
Speaker 1: shaped like a Russian doll? That's wild. Another one interesting,
Speaker 1: All sorts of wild connections coming together on this episode.
Speaker 1: Speaking of wild connections, yes, kind of. Randy Zuckerberg, Mark's
Speaker 1: big sister, former director of market development at Facebook and
Speaker 1: now a huge crypto evangelist. Mm hmm. You love to
Speaker 1: see it, love that pipeline. The wild thing. The one
Speaker 1: thing is you never heard of Randy zucker for you
Speaker 1: never Wow. That's that's strange because she has a pension
Speaker 1: for releasing really fun videos and full on parody songs
Speaker 1: that are exclusively about crypto okay, yes, and her advice
Speaker 1: her and her advice post. Like she even does things
Speaker 1: like let me just kind of show you, like how
Speaker 1: easy it is to get into crypto are on some
Speaker 1: like wildly uncool like n f T your way to Yes,
Speaker 1: Queen Girl Boston that's like sort of the energy of
Speaker 1: like these quote unquote investing videos. And that's because ever
Speaker 1: since she left Facebook, right, she says for like the
Speaker 1: lack of women working there, which you know, I think
Speaker 1: that's a crypto she said. But she hopped on the
Speaker 1: crypto train to Scamville, and she is now an advisor
Speaker 1: slash slash spokesperson for okay coin, which is a crypto
Speaker 1: exchange that you know very well, because they they've promised
Speaker 1: one million dollars to bring more women into crypto. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what that more women. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what. That could just be a scam. And then
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Cheryl, but crypto may
Speaker 1: be quiet like literally bringing them somewhere. Yeah, we're trying
Speaker 1: to get more people to crypto. It's an alternative to
Speaker 1: pretty good and good crypto is just okay crypto. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's fine until and also, like I like to
Speaker 1: use promised because it's like you don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: no checks have been cut. That's like the best like
Speaker 1: nebulous language you can use for charitable actions, like we're
Speaker 1: committing when we're promising one million dollar And also one million.
Speaker 1: I feel like, for out bawling the crypto space seems
Speaker 1: like you could probably dig int your pockets a little
Speaker 1: bit more. But that's a whole other thing. So I
Speaker 1: guess that's where Randy comes in, because we're trying to
Speaker 1: they're trying to bring in more women to crypto. So
Speaker 1: I want you to check out this. First of all,
Speaker 1: she's got this sick ass adele cover that she does
Speaker 1: again help people understand crypto. I can't. I can't do this.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't think I can. I don't think
Speaker 1: my central nervous system can take the chills of douche
Speaker 1: that will. Oh man, I'm not gonna like this. Hey, well,
Speaker 1: don't worry. She got She kind of got pipes though.
Speaker 1: So hello, it's me. Would you like to learn about
Speaker 1: exchange in crypto currency? We'll go a stroke yo, this
Speaker 1: different block chains and want to do some trading? Hello?
Speaker 1: Can you he? Okay? So so Jesus Christ, yeah, would
Speaker 1: you like? Yeah? Okay? But that didn't inspire you at all?
Speaker 1: You know? Okay? How about I mean? Also, she could
Speaker 1: kind of sing, and it turns out I didn't know this.
Speaker 1: She did a stint on the musical rock of Ages
Speaker 1: on fucking Broadway in what kind of reeks like a
Speaker 1: pay to play like sort of scheme, because the play
Speaker 1: bill dot Com. I'm just gonna I just want to
Speaker 1: read the you know, play bill, which is like the
Speaker 1: you know, the the official like program you'll get when
Speaker 1: you go out to see shows on Broadway, or at
Speaker 1: least that's my conception of that. That logo. They posted
Speaker 1: this article on their website when Randy Zuckerberg joining said quote,
Speaker 1: this is the head like Randy Zuckerberg of Facebook fame
Speaker 1: will make Broadway debut and Rock of Ages, Like what
Speaker 1: I like that you read that in Mark Zuckerberg's voice.
Speaker 1: That was that was an exact replic of how Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg would read that. And then you know, goes on
Speaker 1: like it's like this really lengthy article that has like
Speaker 1: all these quotes from Randy Zuckerberg talking about like their
Speaker 1: love of theater. It's like, okay, fine, whatever, But now
Speaker 1: she's come even you know, a longer way and is
Speaker 1: doing her latest video that came out I think which
Speaker 1: got most people talking on the internet was this sick
Speaker 1: ass fucking cover of Twisted Sister. Okay, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: take it Okay, check this out, y'all about your too
Speaker 1: excited about Oh my gosh, I'm I'm so hyped o
Speaker 1: christ WHOA. Yes, we're all gonna make it. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: all gonna make it. All right, We're all gone make it.
Speaker 1: We're all gonna make you. Wow, look at all these
Speaker 1: people's green. It's just the start. So printal dear see
Speaker 1: why a C D B Okay, okay, just like commercials
Speaker 1: when they try to make it like intentionally cringe so
Speaker 1: that you keep thinking about it, like, wow, that commercial
Speaker 1: was so so so bad. I mean, maybe I should
Speaker 1: buy Raising Brian. I don't know. This is this is
Speaker 1: one of those things where somebody, somebody has so much
Speaker 1: money that they don't know how dumb they are, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like fires you to think about,
Speaker 1: like what sorts of insane media would exist if everyone
Speaker 1: just had millions to just create whatever dumb ship they wanted.
Speaker 1: I mean, I bet some very beautiful art never gets created,
Speaker 1: it just just to be broke. And then meanwhile Randy
Speaker 1: Zucker wants it is over here, just like making these
Speaker 1: like Fringe eight throwbacks. What the world imagine the world
Speaker 1: we could live in? I mean, everybody a million dollars
Speaker 1: to just make whatever dumb, this fun music videos they want.
Speaker 1: If only everyone's little brother started Facebook and just got
Speaker 1: me in the business, and I was a blue chip
Speaker 1: Facebook person and cash the funk out, and I would
Speaker 1: be like, I do whatever the funk I want, literally,
Speaker 1: including trying to mainstream and normalize getting working people into crypto.
Speaker 1: As if that's again, I think that's what is really
Speaker 1: insidious about this is the message of that song, right,
Speaker 1: is We're all gonna make it, and which I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: sums up the central myth around crypt don't It is
Speaker 1: seemingly a way for everyone to join in on the
Speaker 1: moneys in an easy way. But the truth is not
Speaker 1: everyone is gonna make it. Yeah. I mean, you might
Speaker 1: as well be doing a ad for like Caesar's Casino, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna make it, you know, put down all
Speaker 1: your money on black black Jack Taylor, see what happens.
Speaker 1: That's what it is for some like Randy Zuckerberg, who
Speaker 1: has millions in like liquidity to just throw around and
Speaker 1: make these huge investments on crypto and get a return
Speaker 1: on it. Of course you're gonna be out here being
Speaker 1: like hallelujah, we're all gonna make it, but it's only
Speaker 1: people like you who are gonna be making this fucking money.
Speaker 1: And I think that all these campaigns are to just
Speaker 1: say we needed more people. Here, we need more people
Speaker 1: and here, we need more people in here right to
Speaker 1: inflate the value of the currencies that they own millions
Speaker 1: in and then make the You're in all the right
Speaker 1: conversations to know about this ship at the right time
Speaker 1: to make money off of it, but you are going
Speaker 1: to make a bunch of other people poorer than you.
Speaker 1: I do just have to say. So it's a it's
Speaker 1: an interesting like the videos that she made are the
Speaker 1: have you guys ever worked somewhere that makes a video
Speaker 1: like where the bosses like make a video to like
Speaker 1: kind of send a message or like communicate a goal
Speaker 1: or have you ever seen those like that? I would
Speaker 1: have to help make those videos, right, So this seems
Speaker 1: like it's the best like execution of that, But unfortunately,
Speaker 1: like those don't get better as the quality comes up,
Speaker 1: it actually gets worse because like there you realize it,
Speaker 1: like puts it in higher contrast that the thing missing
Speaker 1: is not production value, it's a soul. It's like a
Speaker 1: any like human humanity at the core of it, because
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, very comfortable and confident on camera
Speaker 1: and you know, knows what she's trying to say and
Speaker 1: is singing the right notes. But holy sh it, it
Speaker 1: is like again, I think this needs to go into
Speaker 1: a museum that's just you know, with the like in
Speaker 1: the bad side of the museum, like not the good
Speaker 1: side where we're gonna put the cheesecake factory menu, Like
Speaker 1: this goes in the wow like and this is why
Speaker 1: it didn't work. I mean, I mean, car pay your
Speaker 1: crypto d m Okay. I'm starting to wonder if the
Speaker 1: cringe factor is intentional in the sense that also it
Speaker 1: looks the second episode, the second video looks so low budget.
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, we're just quirky backyard cell phone camera
Speaker 1: kids like you, you know, give us all your money
Speaker 1: to inflict this currency that we made up. Like oh't no, man,
Speaker 1: that's I think, I mean, it's it Also, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like it's cringe e but also makes sense because I
Speaker 1: think this person is like we like we always talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, when you get wealthy, you kind of get
Speaker 1: you kind of you're in a uh like a time
Speaker 1: capsule like your taste, yes, man, Echo chamber, you're in
Speaker 1: a time capsule. You're yeah, you don't evolve, right, And
Speaker 1: I think she left Facebook or around like oh, and
Speaker 1: that this video feels like shitty YouTube from she's still
Speaker 1: living in that time when she like yeah, and she
Speaker 1: still thinks this is cool. So it's I think, like
Speaker 1: in your it's genius in the sense that it could
Speaker 1: work with people, Like it's so craze, everybody's gonna share
Speaker 1: it at some level. It's like this person is like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm naturally like this, and I guess
Speaker 1: it's working. I haven't grown as a person whatsoever. Since
Speaker 1: you see my shirt it's a whale that says n
Speaker 1: F t on it out of here. That was all performance.
Speaker 1: But people need to appreciate video one day. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, Like I'm so profoundly depressed
Speaker 1: by what I've just seen. Hey, that's it. From the listeners,
Speaker 1: you couldn't see Jack space, but he was like staring
Speaker 1: morosely praying to God to end it for him. Why
Speaker 1: why did they come to me to die? But like
Speaker 1: I'm just like seeing all the meetings where like putting
Speaker 1: this together where she probably had to like work with
Speaker 1: people who are like creative and good and like like
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so silly. But like also, I think
Speaker 1: the way what we need to do to like really
Speaker 1: find out if the cringe is intentional is Mariah you
Speaker 1: use your music industry contacts, reach out to her and
Speaker 1: be like, we saw the video. We want to offer
Speaker 1: you a record deal. Yeah, and see if she's like yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see all right, I don't know, Yeah, we'll see
Speaker 1: about it. I'll let you, I'll follow up, let you
Speaker 1: know how it goes. Yeah, we need to. I'm glad.
Speaker 1: There's also you know, there's a there's a new frank
Speaker 1: stallone in town. You know. In terms of just embarrassing siblings, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do have to mention what's happening in the chat
Speaker 1: right now, right, I have to hear about this. So
Speaker 1: Justin's that's something you're comfortable talking about. Sure, I think,
Speaker 1: um so, so alright, so real quickly let people know
Speaker 1: what we're even referencing. Person So as we were talking
Speaker 1: about those corporate videos where you know, I think there
Speaker 1: was a video of like a Bank of America song
Speaker 1: that was like a parody of some song, but it
Speaker 1: was like sung really heartfelt. That really sticks in my
Speaker 1: heart and soul as being like a low point of
Speaker 1: my life prior to watching the videos of Myles just
Speaker 1: showed me. But as we were talking about that, justin
Speaker 1: put in the chat, my dad was in a fake
Speaker 1: corporate band for McDonald's in the eighties. So do you
Speaker 1: want to talk about that? Yeah, I need to know,
Speaker 1: I definitely need to know. So my dad was in
Speaker 1: a band with his older brother and my godfather shout
Speaker 1: out Uncle Bobby and Uncle Cavan, And they had a
Speaker 1: manager who was in the corporate world, I guess a
Speaker 1: little bit. He was also a singer. He did a
Speaker 1: little bit of it all and he got them this
Speaker 1: gig where him and my godfather were teamed up with
Speaker 1: this fake band for a McDonald's corporation video, just an
Speaker 1: internal video that they shared amongst like all of the
Speaker 1: however many tens of thousands employees that McDonald's had at
Speaker 1: the time in the eighties. I can't remember exactly what
Speaker 1: year it was, but my dad had full what he
Speaker 1: would not describe as Jerry Curl but looks suspiciously like one.
Speaker 1: Um and um, I mean I'm talking like leather outfits.
Speaker 1: I'm talking, you know, like too much fog machine happening,
Speaker 1: just a lot of the hokey is eighties music video
Speaker 1: vibes you can you can imagine. And he showed me
Speaker 1: the video actually in my most recent trip back to Chicago,
Speaker 1: and me and him just sat there and bonded for like,
Speaker 1: oh man, maybe like two hours about just him and
Speaker 1: a concept album he came up with and this all this,
Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff he was doing in the eighties,
Speaker 1: and oh, I don't know how deep I want to
Speaker 1: get into this um because you yeah, but it was
Speaker 1: all the way, baby, let's go. It was interesting to
Speaker 1: say the least. Yeah, if anybody wants another problem with capitalism,
Speaker 1: instead of having your dad's brilliant concept album, we have
Speaker 1: the McDonald's corporate pair with yeah you know, yeah uscle.
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, I'm just saying the system sucks. What
Speaker 1: were the songs about? It was about so I think
Speaker 1: one was an original original. I'm pretty sure some guy
Speaker 1: in eleven other writers in the corporate office came up
Speaker 1: with it, and then the other one was a cover.
Speaker 1: And I think I had a stroke and permanently deleted
Speaker 1: these songs from my mind because they were so mind
Speaker 1: alteringly like just so just like the video clips we
Speaker 1: just played. I was it was hard. My dad was
Speaker 1: having a ball though, and that I was getting a
Speaker 1: kick out of that. He would turn to the cameras,
Speaker 1: Oh here goes my sexy look, and he was just
Speaker 1: like camera and it was amazing and I just had
Speaker 1: fun watching him relive his history. But he was just
Speaker 1: excited about the Moneys, Like the money was great. Bro.
Speaker 1: They put us in a five star hotel, they flew
Speaker 1: us out to. They did a shoot in Chicago, and
Speaker 1: then that shoot went so well that they did another
Speaker 1: shoot in California. And it was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: band that was There was a whole narrative where they were.
Speaker 1: I mean they shot at like a sitcom. It's like
Speaker 1: a multi camera sitcom for a little bit. They they
Speaker 1: had like internal struggles. They were like showing the writing
Speaker 1: process of how this band got together and it was
Speaker 1: coming up with the song. You were in the recording
Speaker 1: studio with him. Was like a documentary, but it wasn't real.
Speaker 1: It was so it's like the new like Beatles Dock
Speaker 1: that just came out. It's like and then but only
Speaker 1: for McDonald's. Yeah, and only for employees within the company,
Speaker 1: like it was an appreciation video for them somehow. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how that translated, but we need to see.
Speaker 1: The thing that really grinds my gears about this whole
Speaker 1: story is the fact that they did not release these
Speaker 1: to the general public. No, sad they have deprived us.
Speaker 1: It's great, I'll have to I'll see if I can
Speaker 1: get my dad to send me a copy. I don't
Speaker 1: think we can play it, but I will share it
Speaker 1: with you guys, just so we can all experience it together. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll re enact it for you to avoid any litigation.
Speaker 1: That's thank you so much for sharing them with us,
Speaker 1: and we we will hunt that video down. If you
Speaker 1: have the video, let us know, by the way, if
Speaker 1: you want to watch something that like the thing I
Speaker 1: was referring to that I just remembered, was that too.
Speaker 1: There's a corporate retreat where two Bank of American employees
Speaker 1: seeing a version of one by you two very heartfelt,
Speaker 1: but it's about a like marketing initiative that the Bag
Speaker 1: of America has coming up. And it's like, if you
Speaker 1: think that it's surreal to like go back and watch
Speaker 1: that Lo Lo lo video of the guy just being
Speaker 1: like la la and be like what the funk kind
Speaker 1: of weird place with the Soviet Union, Like this video
Speaker 1: is like that, but way more depressing. These guys like
Speaker 1: are singing like they have like you know, pain in
Speaker 1: their heart about the new Bank of America one initiative.
Speaker 1: It's it's sucks so bad, it's amazing. Okay, you can't.
Speaker 1: We'll look off to that too, Mariah. It's such a
