Speaker 1: It's one of our favorite guests on t v Z,
Speaker 1: one of your favorite guests. Please welcome the brilliant and
Speaker 1: talented Teresa Lee. Go go. Where's my test today? I've
Speaker 1: isolated five days. I like it now or ever, where's
Speaker 1: my test today? I took the bay I ordered on
Speaker 1: FedEx Sunday, but I never got it in the mail.
Speaker 1: What the funk? L A, Okay, that's I wrote that
Speaker 1: just now, but it's already won over a week ago
Speaker 1: and I did not get it, and I went in person.
Speaker 1: I took one and I was negative, but I still
Speaker 1: haven't got my home test. Yeah, well, you know it's uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know why this country can do so many
Speaker 1: things except the just the real simple ship like a test.
Speaker 1: I think they're still building the government too. We've given
Speaker 1: somebody tests, yeah exactly. Just had to buy masks for
Speaker 1: our kids, so like and masks with dinosaurs on them,
Speaker 1: and they are so fucking expensive. It's like, yo, they
Speaker 1: should The government is sending these out to everyone. On
Speaker 1: top of making it really clear that ninety five is
Speaker 1: pretty much what they're all saying is like you should
Speaker 1: you need to do surgical or better, don't work around
Speaker 1: with cloth masks with a macron because it's, uh, this
Speaker 1: is this isn't this is this? Ain't it? The school
Speaker 1: will accept nothing less at this point. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it makes like other countries out are shipping like
Speaker 1: they'll just ship you test regular release, so you have
Speaker 1: to take it before you even order it. It's like
Speaker 1: we're like, I don't know just what you mushrooms again?
Speaker 1: You trip in hallucinating stuff in that country that's sending
Speaker 1: people tests. A funny you say that I did do
Speaker 1: mushrooms and go to see the Enchanted Force of Light
Speaker 1: this weekend. Oh it's fun. It was really nice after
Speaker 1: I got my negative tests. Is that in this cancel? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's just slept on botanical garden. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's really it really did feel like because at first
Speaker 1: I was like this is really wholesome, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is probably the part when I get dragged to
Speaker 1: festivals that I like anyways, the like lights and pretty flowers,
Speaker 1: it's like I don't like the loud music or the people.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I know I like the people. Some
Speaker 1: people like that. I I don't like crowds, not like
Speaker 1: specifically hate everyone, but but you go to these like
Speaker 1: gardens and it's like very family friendly, cute flowers and
Speaker 1: you can just roam around and just enjoy and kind
Speaker 1: of get lost, and like this is dies like why
Speaker 1: this has slept on? For sure? Yeah, that is one
Speaker 1: of the handful of events that I went to that
Speaker 1: I brought my kids to and desperately wished that I
Speaker 1: had been on mushrooms. Well was there that did you go?
Speaker 1: You went recently to, like a year ago or two
Speaker 1: years ago? Yeah? That dis cancels always where people go
Speaker 1: to take like their family photos to like you always
Speaker 1: see people doing like first birthday photos and ship like
Speaker 1: it would always be like a child who is incapable
Speaker 1: of sitting still for a photo and they're like a
Speaker 1: guy with six cameras and like stressed out of parents,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's that's always a mainstay at dis
Speaker 1: canceled Card. No, it's just a good place to let
Speaker 1: them run. It's funny to watch the photos being taken
Speaker 1: at something like that because you really can see where
Speaker 1: there's different like agendas of people who have come together
Speaker 1: then make that event. Like you see the pr girls
Speaker 1: work in the like giant drink cabin and it's all
Speaker 1: lit up with a flancy arrow and like sparkling lights,
Speaker 1: and then there's like you know, very easy to read
Speaker 1: signs are like go this way for the like you know,
Speaker 1: fairy fairy lights are like you know, two lips. And
Speaker 1: then like behind in the dark there's like in actual
Speaker 1: like probably the botanists or the scientists who actually like
Speaker 1: spend the tax dollars to make it. It's like really
Speaker 1: dense writing and it's all in the dark, covered by leaves.
Speaker 1: It's like you want to learn about trees and you
Speaker 1: have to like go off the like it's not even lit.
Speaker 1: It's like nobody wants to learn about tree yea, And
Speaker 1: all the photos are just being taken in the light
Speaker 1: and like the cool gast flowers are in the corner,
Speaker 1: like we are cool too, Like nobody wants to look
Speaker 1: at them. One of the few places where the oak
Speaker 1: coverage is expanding naturally in l A County. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: where's the hot chacolate? Yeah, that's right, all right, Theresa.
Speaker 1: Weird to get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: few of the things that we're talking about today. We're
Speaker 1: talking about what what's going on with the mandates. Why
Speaker 1: isn't Biden doing anything about those mandates? I have no
Speaker 1: no clue, can't can't possibly guess, nor can I guess
Speaker 1: why Florida having a low death rate in context of
Speaker 1: how high their hospitalizations are. That continues to be a story,
Speaker 1: even though we know that they are hacking their numbers,
Speaker 1: they are just not letting the death the deaths be reported. Essentially,
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit more about it. We we
Speaker 1: talked about it last year, and like how they're basically
Speaker 1: delaying any death, like the people calling a death a
Speaker 1: COVID death until like two weeks after it happened, and
Speaker 1: then that death only gets reported four two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So instead of being like, okay, now that it's been called,
Speaker 1: we count that as a death today, it doesn't get
Speaker 1: counted as death today. It gets counted as death two
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And it's just a blatant like plan to
Speaker 1: hack the way the mainstream media reports COVID stats. And
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know it, the front page of MSN dot
Speaker 1: com head the headline Florida's COVID cases and hospitalizations are surging,
Speaker 1: but the state has the second lowest death rate in
Speaker 1: the nation. What's going on? And then doesn't Yeah, it
Speaker 1: doesn't tell the truth until like three paragraphs, and so
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. Uh, we're gonna talk about it's
Speaker 1: Girl Scout cookie season. It's upon us and the you know,
Speaker 1: there's two cookies that were new last year that are holdovers,
Speaker 1: adventure Fuls and toast yeahs toast, Yeah, it's a play
Speaker 1: on toast. They say it's a play on toast. E h,
Speaker 1: that doesn't that's not how we're playing works though, right,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, anyways, they're like French toasts and adventure foles
Speaker 1: are chocolate caramel to kick concoctions cocaine users breakfast. Yes,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna talk about that, and the fact that
Speaker 1: depending on where you live, there two very different Girl
Speaker 1: Scout cookie manufacturers that make cookies, both with different names
Speaker 1: and also like different totally different like concepts, and in
Speaker 1: one case, the s'more cookies, like they don't look at
Speaker 1: anything alike. Oh, I feel like I vaguely this is
Speaker 1: a conspiracy we used to have, like as Girl Scouts
Speaker 1: were like why are they called different things in different places?
Speaker 1: And that's a mystery, but we we didn't know back
Speaker 1: in the day. Yeah, no, legit. I was like, the
Speaker 1: Girl Scouts have gotten rid of or they've changed the
Speaker 1: names of Samoa's too, Caramel Delights. I was the Karma
Speaker 1: Delight girl. I was like what, I was so confused,
Speaker 1: And then peanut butter Patty instead of tag along. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I always assumed they were at some phase of
Speaker 1: like at some stage of phasing one out and adding another.
Speaker 1: End turns out, nope, there's just two different manufacturers to
Speaker 1: make different cookies. Even the thin Mint is like pretty
Speaker 1: wildly different. So we'll we'll talk about that all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Teresa most importantly, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? Oh yeah, I searched this this morning because well,
Speaker 1: I searched how to replace a previous key battery because I,
Speaker 1: as you know, I went to the Disconnot Gardens this weekend,
Speaker 1: but as you did not know, I lost my backpack
Speaker 1: on the lift home, as I can only imagine, which
Speaker 1: is okay. I mean, it was annoying, but I what
Speaker 1: I realized. The best thing about losing everything in the
Speaker 1: New Year's it's kind of like just zero some m
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, it just pretend it happened last year,
Speaker 1: and it's like it doesn't matter. Yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like a new star reset. It's fine. But then in
Speaker 1: the backpack was my keys as well, and so I
Speaker 1: had to come back to my place to get my
Speaker 1: spare key. It was the whole thing turned out did
Speaker 1: not have battery. Went to CBS, bought the battery that
Speaker 1: the Google said was the wrong battery. So life's going
Speaker 1: well right out. But you know, somebody got to go
Speaker 1: to a dealership or some ship to get that ship.
Speaker 1: I'll probably no, I think I can go to yes, possibly,
Speaker 1: but I think I have to go to um like
Speaker 1: home Depotion and get the right battery. They didn't have
Speaker 1: it a TVs. I your car is still there. No,
Speaker 1: so I was able to like manually open it. But
Speaker 1: it's the smart it's this is so boring, but the
Speaker 1: smart lot, Like in order to turn it on, I
Speaker 1: have to like press, press it visit manually instead of
Speaker 1: like you have to p there's a way to do it.
Speaker 1: You press the key to the button and then pressed
Speaker 1: the brain. Yeah, what kind of battery you working with? Their?
Speaker 1: Well I two and it was wrong. I guess I've
Speaker 1: turned into like a fifty year old just like what
Speaker 1: kind of entire size which I'm on that I have
Speaker 1: to say, I'm desperately interested in, Like you talking, are
Speaker 1: you in the car? Are you in car mode? Now? No?
Speaker 1: I just I figured out how to change my keys
Speaker 1: batteries and so it's like the hand the one handy
Speaker 1: thing I've done in the last few months. It is
Speaker 1: a rush though I didn't realize like all this stuff,
Speaker 1: like how you know the stereotype like girls do crafts,
Speaker 1: guys do cars, But then when you actually break it down,
Speaker 1: it's the same feeling like when you're starting to open
Speaker 1: up a thing and fix it. I'm like, this reminds
Speaker 1: me of so like I'm like this, it was like
Speaker 1: it brings me back to arts and crafts. And now
Speaker 1: I'm like I understand why, like guys like to work
Speaker 1: on electronics because it's sort of like taking care of
Speaker 1: something that won't die. You can't hurt it. Really, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a battery for all this battery replacement talker, tell
Speaker 1: me why my mazdaki has not had a battery since
Speaker 1: we started this podcast. Wow, I've been taking out like
Speaker 1: the opened the door, then I gotta press my button
Speaker 1: on the ignition and whenever I have I'm in a
Speaker 1: valet situation and taking like fifteen miss like look, bro,
Speaker 1: the batteries that you gotta touch it to this thing
Speaker 1: or it's not gonna start. Like yeah, we get it,
Speaker 1: your lazy piece of ship. And I haven't changed it
Speaker 1: in ages. And then the pandemic happened. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: what the fund does it matter? And I find myself
Speaker 1: in the same place now. So you've inspired me to
Speaker 1: perhaps change this myself and to move on to But
Speaker 1: you've actually given yourself this interesting moment because by waiting
Speaker 1: so long, you're almost gifting yourself this like really like
Speaker 1: when I have things I want to do list that
Speaker 1: last way too long, it becomes that's the new norm,
Speaker 1: you know, like how you side forever, it's you get
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, if you get to just once open
Speaker 1: your car door without like the old old way again,
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like ten times better than if you
Speaker 1: had changed that battery a year ago, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And now it's gonna make your whole week.
Speaker 1: It makes people fucking nervous because like they see me
Speaker 1: like going through like I'm at the grocery store, be
Speaker 1: like a white woman or a car, and I'm like
Speaker 1: going through my pockets like let me get my ship
Speaker 1: real quick because I don't have I can't just hit
Speaker 1: the button opening and they're always like looking at me
Speaker 1: like it's a key and I'm open, thank you. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there there are physical emotions to it that I
Speaker 1: realized are like we're kind of in certain aspects we
Speaker 1: don't we've moved forward from like unlocking a car with
Speaker 1: your key. It feels like something for strange, the working people,
Speaker 1: not the elevated folks West Hollywood. Yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: theory that the reason you haven't done. That is because
Speaker 1: like having kids provides you with so many moments of
Speaker 1: boredom that you like think, you like make to do
Speaker 1: lists and ship and that's the only right because that
Speaker 1: that is Anyone who knew me before I had kids
Speaker 1: would tell you that like having no batteries and a
Speaker 1: key or having the lights out in like every room
Speaker 1: of my house except one was like the sort of
Speaker 1: ship that I would just my brain would just be like, okay,
Speaker 1: so we don't have lights in here now, but I
Speaker 1: think the boredom parenthood, yeah, in order to But you're
Speaker 1: saying you're board from having a child. It's so having
Speaker 1: would your wife feel about this statement? Because I feel
Speaker 1: like a bared kids. You're constantly taking care of the kids,
Speaker 1: but there's also like you're doing it and then like
Speaker 1: they are playing or you know, asking you a question
Speaker 1: every like ten minutes. But it's it's a lot of
Speaker 1: like you have to be there, you have to be
Speaker 1: with them, you have to be like ready to answer
Speaker 1: a question or like you know, put a band aid
Speaker 1: on something. But a lot of it is just your
Speaker 1: brain is like so standby. I feel like it's a
Speaker 1: drastically different experience, like even when both parents are as involved,
Speaker 1: Like I think the mother brain is just wired in
Speaker 1: a way. Because I had this convo with my boyfriend
Speaker 1: because he sometimes watches my dog, and when my dog
Speaker 1: is over, I'm the only one who takes about in
Speaker 1: the morning, and I was like, I think he needs
Speaker 1: to pee, and he's like, now he's good. Like no,
Speaker 1: it's like if we leave now, it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like six hours before we come back. And and then
Speaker 1: in his mind he's like, well, when he stays over
Speaker 1: with me, he's always good. I'm like, yeah, that's because
Speaker 1: it's like one day at a time. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's Grandma's house. And I'm like, now, imagine if you
Speaker 1: had him for a whole month, Like he's gonna be
Speaker 1: waking up at seven am, like every morning. I have
Speaker 1: to do this every day. There's not a day off.
Speaker 1: You don't get a prize because you remember to do
Speaker 1: it once. It's just like, yeah, this is just your life.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if we have kids, you're gonna be like
Speaker 1: I changed a diaper. I'm good for a month now, right,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think the baby needs the diapers. Now,
Speaker 1: they're good. They're it happens every couple of hours. You
Speaker 1: what's his name? What's his name? Bitcoin? Wow, okay, this
Speaker 1: makes sense. Now what is what something you think is overraged? Oh? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a real basic. But I think strawberries because
Speaker 1: I was eating one strawberries. I always buy raspberries. I'm
Speaker 1: a raspberry gout. I don't know. Strawberries are everywhere. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they're not good. I'm just saying they're like
Speaker 1: they have way too much type everything strawberries, strawberry showerry.
Speaker 1: You put them on pancakes. Raspberries are better. And I
Speaker 1: actually got strawberries. They look good. I cut them up.
Speaker 1: They're just fine. Like I see your face, Miles, and
Speaker 1: I acknowledge. It's more like because I think I don't
Speaker 1: I don't really have a berry in this fight. But
Speaker 1: I know that they're always better when it's hotter. That's
Speaker 1: the one thing. Like whenever you get in the winter,
Speaker 1: the strawberries aren't as good than they are like when
Speaker 1: it's warmer, because I know, because what most of our
Speaker 1: strawberries in California grown in California. Anyway, It's like the
Speaker 1: real prime time is like in fed like starts in
Speaker 1: February or something. That's a good Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like we have gotten to a point
Speaker 1: where we just expect every fruit to be in season
Speaker 1: all the time. The only season that I'm aware of
Speaker 1: is easy season. Easy seasons of course, but like in
Speaker 1: terms of produce, also easy season. I do love easy
Speaker 1: produced but peaches. Peaches are drastically different. For less a
Speaker 1: month in the summer, like in like July August, they're
Speaker 1: just like holy shit, and then every other time it's
Speaker 1: just like but I agree. Like strawberries, I probably don't
Speaker 1: pick close enough attention to them, but especially like there's
Speaker 1: nothing worse than like a chunk of frozen strawberry, as
Speaker 1: opposed to if you get like a frozen raspberry or something.
Speaker 1: It's like having a treat, but a chunk of frozen strawberries.
Speaker 1: Like I have a good strawberries, but just in general,
Speaker 1: the ones that grocery store and perhaps I'm not chopping
Speaker 1: in the right season, but the best ones I've ever
Speaker 1: had where like in Japan, where they don't they're not
Speaker 1: like engineer and they look not that sweet, but they're
Speaker 1: they're small and almost like not red, but they're really sweet.
Speaker 1: The ones you look red and huge and they just
Speaker 1: taste like fine. Right. There's actually a really good New
Speaker 1: Yorker article about the picking of berries and like how
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to fully like robotize it yet
Speaker 1: that they do talk about how the entire like evolution
Speaker 1: of strawberries has been towards big, bright red and and
Speaker 1: like regardless of taste. Yeah, they just like don't take
Speaker 1: taste on it because it's all about, like people, what
Speaker 1: is going to look best to people in the produce as.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a uniquely America. That's that's why
Speaker 1: I like a good farmers market, because they're not gonna
Speaker 1: fun like they're gonna tell you straight up. They're like
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I would wait on those. They're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you need strawberries or something, you can
Speaker 1: get those, Like these apples are better right now, you know,
Speaker 1: unless how you start learning the waves, man, apples stay good.
Speaker 1: I love I love app Okay apple? Gang? Oh wow
Speaker 1: that apple? Or did you are you done with that?
Speaker 1: How how close to the court there? No, No, this
Speaker 1: is an all day process, I was saying. I always
Speaker 1: talk about one of my earliest memories of driving the
Speaker 1: car with My dad used to have this Toyota truck
Speaker 1: is like work trug. It was fucked up and it
Speaker 1: would have apple cores all on the dash board and
Speaker 1: in various like states of being dehydrated by the California
Speaker 1: l a son. And my mom would always be so
Speaker 1: mad at him for having all his apple all these
Speaker 1: apple cores and car taking me to school and ship
Speaker 1: and he's like, I guess fine, it's apples. I eat
Speaker 1: apples a day. I remember him eating them to the
Speaker 1: fucking core, like and I remember the first time I
Speaker 1: had apple. I tried to get there and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is this is too intense. I can't get down
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah did they ever sprout? No? No, they
Speaker 1: would just turn brown and like you know, sound like
Speaker 1: a like fucking like a dish sponge. Yeah, smells start
Speaker 1: smelling like some some form. Yeah, exactly. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Teresa? Okay, I think this is
Speaker 1: like gonna sound strange, but I shall explain. Okay, I
Speaker 1: underrated just like baggage like can like but people with
Speaker 1: baggage as adults. And I would go even so far
Speaker 1: as to say, like this is because I was reacting
Speaker 1: to how we're obsessed with you and like having like
Speaker 1: you know, like over sexualizing sort of being young and
Speaker 1: pure and innocent. And I'm like, I really, the more
Speaker 1: I think about it, the more I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: what's actually fun? It's like consensual adult sex with baggage,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like that's the opposite and
Speaker 1: what you would think when they're selling like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: pure innocent. But it's like I think that that's the
Speaker 1: most fun when two people, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like two people who are working on themselves. I'm not like, oh,
Speaker 1: I hate my baggage, but like two people with baggage
Speaker 1: who are like, hey, I did the work and now
Speaker 1: we're adults, and we're also like, I mean that is it?
Speaker 1: Is it baggage? Right? Because you're talking about like what's
Speaker 1: better than self aware of people being passionate and up
Speaker 1: like you know, but that's not what we're being told.
Speaker 1: We're being sold like the idea of like oh, like
Speaker 1: the innocent and pure and like that's actually kind of
Speaker 1: annoying to be honest, like you know, let the kids
Speaker 1: have their innocence, but like that's annoying. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be around someone immature, and so I think we
Speaker 1: should start actually marketing, like just like you know, our
Speaker 1: icons are sports illustrated models should just straight up be like,
Speaker 1: I'm a mother divorce and I also am in therapy,
Speaker 1: so it's like, woo, isn't that hot? Like that should be.
Speaker 1: It's like dad didn't reach out till my first magazine cover.
Speaker 1: But I don't hold it against you. I have power
Speaker 1: to make my life better and I chose to be
Speaker 1: here and you're like, damn, that does not define me. Though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that's interesting. I mean, I yeah, there is
Speaker 1: something too like it says. I don't know, just in general,
Speaker 1: there's something attractive about people who can be like who
Speaker 1: are aware of like the ship that they've been through,
Speaker 1: how it's affected them, and also being like and I know,
Speaker 1: I kind of gotta work on that kind of thing
Speaker 1: versus I remember when I was younger, you deep, you know,
Speaker 1: when you have no awareness around your own ship, it
Speaker 1: just looks like to fucking Tasmanian devils, like emotional Tasmanian
Speaker 1: devils be near each other. Yeah, I like a I
Speaker 1: like a little bit of thinking awareness for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially like the the idea of like innocence and not
Speaker 1: anybody who in the current world is just like I'm good,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm just like innocent and I don't
Speaker 1: really I don't let this stuff get me down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like what stuff life reality, like the reality of
Speaker 1: where we live. I feel like when I was, you know,
Speaker 1: before the pandemic, and I was interacting more people and
Speaker 1: like assessing people for new friendships and things. If people
Speaker 1: seem too innocent, bro, we're not gonna get along. Like
Speaker 1: you need to know you've stolen ship and I need
Speaker 1: to know that, like you've screamed at the top of
Speaker 1: your lungs at a parent because they didn't understand you
Speaker 1: or some ship. Like when people are just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like this like Disney like energy, I'm like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that Disney And because it's what it is is it's
Speaker 1: almost like it's one thing to be happy and optimistic.
Speaker 1: I'm like, nothing wrong with high happy energy as long
Speaker 1: as you're aware of the truth. But I think the
Speaker 1: energy of like everything's fine is almost like dystopian because
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you're gonna need my help when things
Speaker 1: go wrong, because clearly you have not ever had to
Speaker 1: solve you know what I mean that feeling like versus
Speaker 1: someone who's like, hey, I can, like, you know, change
Speaker 1: all of my car I could do this. Uh, and
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: like lean on you so hard, but I might, you know,
Speaker 1: help you out. You can help me out, and it's cool.
Speaker 1: Maybe come my surrogate emotional mother. Yeah, yeah, we will
Speaker 1: negotiate the terms of this emotional handoff. But I don't worry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: negost the emotion. I don't think Disney like affected me
Speaker 1: that much. But I am only attracted to very happy,
Speaker 1: positive orphans parents tragically when they were too young to
Speaker 1: know them. Oh my gosh. Disney also sucked up like
Speaker 1: how we see animals because I didn't realize this until recently,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, we have to new to our dog.
Speaker 1: That makes sense, yes, even though I was watching puppy
Speaker 1: videos of Tibetan spaniels thinking how sad my dog will
Speaker 1: never have a family of his own, And then I remember, like,
Speaker 1: why did I love puppy so much? Growing up? All
Speaker 1: the Disney movies, you just randomly go puppies, Like there's
Speaker 1: just like families who have dogs and suddenly puppies. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is propaganda. How are you telling children that you
Speaker 1: got a dog for as a pet and you could
Speaker 1: have puppies when literally the Humane Society came to our
Speaker 1: elementary schools had told us neuterin in Spain, it's fine
Speaker 1: like that, we had bookmarks that said neuter and spay
Speaker 1: your dogs. Damn. And at the same time, all the
Speaker 1: cartoons are like puppies have families too, And you're like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait a minute, Oh, I mean I was.
Speaker 1: It was one of my nieces, Like over the break,
Speaker 1: they break their necks trying to look at a puppy anywhere. Puppy.
Speaker 1: You're like, we're driving in a car, like I thought
Speaker 1: some ship went down, but you just saw a puppy outside,
Speaker 1: And I get that. Disney used Disney actually used like
Speaker 1: baby animals to like hack what what we will find cute?
Speaker 1: Like they used like the head shapes of baby hippos
Speaker 1: and the head shapes of baby humans to design all
Speaker 1: their cute animals. So yeah, there, you get it right there. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and you know, people are starting to ask
Speaker 1: the question that the Biden administration heading into the New
Speaker 1: Year was talking a lot about mandates, and you know
Speaker 1: how this was, we had deadlines. Everybody's gonna have to
Speaker 1: quit their jobs if they wanted to stay with that
Speaker 1: anti back ship. And it just seems like that is
Speaker 1: stretching on the vaccine man dates aren't aren't really being
Speaker 1: enforced that much, and people are asking why, whether it's
Speaker 1: people fucking suing to stop it, and obviously many states
Speaker 1: state attorneys general have you know, that's like a case
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court is hearing. There's been all kinds
Speaker 1: of resistance, but I think one that hasn't really been
Speaker 1: talked about a lot, or at least looked at enough,
Speaker 1: is really what Corporate America's hand is in this, Because
Speaker 1: at first it sounded like Corporate America was all on
Speaker 1: board with this. We're like, yep, absolutely, They're like, you're
Speaker 1: working here, you better get vaccinated. We see what the
Speaker 1: economists are saying. If you know people are vaccinated, it
Speaker 1: makes the situation more stable, really, which means we have
Speaker 1: healthy people to buy our ship. But as like the
Speaker 1: Biden administration's call for the vaccine mandates like grew larger
Speaker 1: and louder and clearer, things apparently changed, and suddenly the
Speaker 1: corporations have changed their tune. And I think since worker
Speaker 1: safety means no money going to c suite bonuses, they're
Speaker 1: very quickly be like, yeah, you know what, Actually, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: this is all bad and how's it happening. So this
Speaker 1: is from the starticle quote um from Jacobin saying, just
Speaker 1: analyzing where a lot of the corporate influence has been
Speaker 1: exerted as it relates to mandates. Quote. Some of the
Speaker 1: groups are fighting the mandate in court, while others have
Speaker 1: been Some men comments to OSHA throughout the public comment
Speaker 1: period for the new rule urging modification, clarification, or even
Speaker 1: wholesale abandonment of the rule. And so what they're saying
Speaker 1: is like these are industry lobbying groups who are just
Speaker 1: getting all their hot takes in during the public comment period,
Speaker 1: Like this is stupid, It's gonna funk up everything. Suddenly
Speaker 1: they go on to say, quote, some corporate lobbying groups
Speaker 1: want to revise Biden's vaccine and testing mandates to allow
Speaker 1: for nonsensical exemptions for people who self attest that they
Speaker 1: have been tested or have experienced quote natural infection and recovery.
Speaker 1: And others want the rules scrapped outright, arguing that the
Speaker 1: mandate will turn businesses into quote the government's instruments of
Speaker 1: coercion against their own employees. Um So in short, he's
Speaker 1: shook slash beholden to the groups. We saw with Djokovic
Speaker 1: over the weekend that he basically waited waited out the
Speaker 1: Australian government and there was enough pressure from the tennis
Speaker 1: body to like let him play, and they were like,
Speaker 1: oh he had COVID, okay, so he has these natural
Speaker 1: were good. We're good as if you can't get it
Speaker 1: more than one, like I know people who have got
Speaker 1: it more than one vaccinated. Yeah. So essentially, like it's
Speaker 1: just creating this environment, I think, not just as it
Speaker 1: relates to this specific mandate, but like we're now we're
Speaker 1: seeing people like teachers or flight attendants. They've suddenly become
Speaker 1: like the front line in terms of advocating for workplace safety,
Speaker 1: and not because like their revolutionaries, but because their employers
Speaker 1: have put them in like an impossible position where they're
Speaker 1: like no, like this is too much, like you're not
Speaker 1: you're you're ignoring the spiking COVID cases. We've had coworkers
Speaker 1: passed away at the environment. This is just too much.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be out there. And currently, like
Speaker 1: many flight attendants have been pleading for vaccine mandates on
Speaker 1: flights in the in the US, like they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: f A, what happened to this talk of like having
Speaker 1: people like vaccinated on like airline flights. This is this
Speaker 1: could be potentially great for us, because I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen the news since flights started taken off again,
Speaker 1: we're basically getting punched and having to tape people to
Speaker 1: seats because they don't want to fucking wear masks. So
Speaker 1: they're all saying, like anecdotally, like we very much see
Speaker 1: a clear line between if there was like people who
Speaker 1: funk with like vaccines or respect the mask, they're not
Speaker 1: the kinds of people that end up assaulting us on flights.
Speaker 1: So they're like, this would just be a tremendous weight
Speaker 1: and safety concern lifted from our shoulders. But then like
Speaker 1: when the White House Press Sector Jen Saki was asked
Speaker 1: about it, she said quote, they had not heard that
Speaker 1: explanation internally and and directed questions to the f a A.
Speaker 1: The f a A A in turn referred the Daily Beast
Speaker 1: was asking to the White house. It's almost like they
Speaker 1: did none of these people should be in charge because
Speaker 1: they basically are acting the way like a big companies whenever,
Speaker 1: like a big company makes a new and everyone's like, wow,
Speaker 1: why do we have to sit through this harassment training
Speaker 1: or whatever? But it's like now the CEO is like what,
Speaker 1: why do we have to do the thing? It's like
Speaker 1: the thing that like rules, you don't like rules, the
Speaker 1: thing that you make your employees do like hm, when
Speaker 1: it applies to them, they just can't stand it, right,
Speaker 1: And also like, so now I have to pay for
Speaker 1: them to be tested. No, no, no, we're not doing
Speaker 1: any of that. It's only cool when they pay my salary.
Speaker 1: And they do work for absolutely. And they noted that
Speaker 1: the flight attendants and teachers are the front lines because
Speaker 1: they're almost all unionized, and that's thus they're able to
Speaker 1: actually like bring a fight as opposed to other people
Speaker 1: who are just getting fucking railroad up. And that's what's
Speaker 1: wild too, right, the especially as it relates to Chicago,
Speaker 1: you know, and you look on teacher Twitter, My god,
Speaker 1: the things that like people are saying is happening in
Speaker 1: their school district and the conditions they're made to work
Speaker 1: in you'd be like, fuck, that is so it's so
Speaker 1: fucked up. But again, because of the bunch of capitalism,
Speaker 1: most people's responses like I go in because I can't
Speaker 1: lose this job, like I'm already supporting family, Like I
Speaker 1: can't this isn't when I have to look at up
Speaker 1: like a decision to stay or find something else is
Speaker 1: just easier for me to stay with this. But me
Speaker 1: in the meantime, you have like politicians of the audacity
Speaker 1: to be like these teachers are like out of line,
Speaker 1: like abandoning these kids, like these kids and like I
Speaker 1: heard you know, saying things like they're coming from homes
Speaker 1: or the parents are struggling and need to go to work.
Speaker 1: It's like, motherfucker. As a leader, why are you not
Speaker 1: ideating around how you can keep those parents safe that
Speaker 1: they're not having to be in an impossible situation like
Speaker 1: well if I if I don't go to work, then
Speaker 1: I lose my job. But if I but if but
Speaker 1: my kids are not in school, So what am I
Speaker 1: supposed to do? And just treating it like this unsolvable problem.
Speaker 1: It's just really fucked up, just even how it's being
Speaker 1: discussed out loud, and like hearing people take those, you know,
Speaker 1: rhetorical arguments interesting. Yeah, are the teachers selfish? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: also don't know all or even most flight attendants or
Speaker 1: teachers are unionized, But I just I just know that
Speaker 1: I've heard of the unions for those professions, so like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying they're all unionized. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that that gives them at least a fucking foothold,
Speaker 1: whereas a lot of the other professions, your Amazon delivery
Speaker 1: and warehouse workers don't have that option. I will say
Speaker 1: that when I searched our most flight attendants, the Google
Speaker 1: auto complete number one with a bullet was single. So
Speaker 1: people are just way too thirsty out here being like,
Speaker 1: are you single? Are most attendant? That's like someone's weird
Speaker 1: interpretation of being unionized. It's like they have they entered
Speaker 1: a wholly union of matrimony. That's probably what it means.
Speaker 1: That's how we get the evangelicals on board the union
Speaker 1: with Christy. I mean, look at these people. Some of
Speaker 1: these people are not even Christians and they're willing to
Speaker 1: enter into a union with christ I mean, please, we
Speaker 1: need your support for minimum ways, the Great collab the
Speaker 1: labor the labor movement after the Great the Great collab Collabo. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Florida real quick there. Yeah, so they
Speaker 1: have low death rates. Recently, people are asking us to
Speaker 1: solve the solve the riddle. Their COVID cases and hospitalizations
Speaker 1: are surging, but the state has the second lowest death
Speaker 1: rate in the nation. What's going on? So we talked
Speaker 1: to a couple of months ago about how they changed
Speaker 1: the way they were reporting COVID deaths so that when
Speaker 1: a death was determined like weeks after it happened, that
Speaker 1: death would only be counted to two weeks ago, as
Speaker 1: opposed to revery other state, which is just giving it
Speaker 1: to like the current day, which keeps things up to
Speaker 1: date and at least like gives you the information as
Speaker 1: constantly as possible and as like up to date, so
Speaker 1: that people are like, oh ship, Florida deaths from COVID
Speaker 1: are really going up, instead of oh ship, we're getting
Speaker 1: a revision that says Florida deaths from COVID went up
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. They don't usually, It's like
Speaker 1: it's like you have to go back and check it
Speaker 1: every two weeks to actually see it. I'd be like
Speaker 1: if you're like late every day, but instead of it's
Speaker 1: like we won't marculate today and then in two weeks later. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: It's just you have to look at the rate from
Speaker 1: like weeks ago to see. Yeah, it's very st if
Speaker 1: you're a time traveler, though, do not go to Florida.
Speaker 1: The COVID death rates from the past are mind blowing. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean deaths are always a lagging indicator, Like we've
Speaker 1: learned that by living through this pandemic. But there's is
Speaker 1: like you know, doubling tripling the leg that we have.
Speaker 1: We didn't always show going down to them because if
Speaker 1: as you get visit the present day, so then it
Speaker 1: always looks like we're want to decline in some ways exactly,
Speaker 1: and you know that's that's how they do it. But
Speaker 1: this MSN article is just like really buries that fact.
Speaker 1: There's like a sentence about it. But they say experts
Speaker 1: say several factors could explain the currently low rates. Florida's
Speaker 1: horrific toll from Delta, and it's acquired resistance and vaccination
Speaker 1: rates maybe buffering the state at a time when others
Speaker 1: are contending with two variants, which doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 1: And it is also like the anti bax ornies I've
Speaker 1: got the antibodies don't give credence to that ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then only after that they say or because of
Speaker 1: the white Florida reports COVID deaths, which already tend to
Speaker 1: leg infections and hospitalizations, the true death rate from this
Speaker 1: recent wave maybe too soon to know. And then somebody
Speaker 1: later on does say that that it of always looks
Speaker 1: makes it look like they're declining, even though what what's
Speaker 1: really happening is that we're just learning later and attributing
Speaker 1: those two earlier on. But it's just they did a
Speaker 1: very specific thing too, with a very specific like aim
Speaker 1: for their outcome, and it is working perfectly. And and
Speaker 1: these fucking the treatments of this kind of news story
Speaker 1: are they've completely fucked people's perception up of like what's
Speaker 1: happening to because you could be like, damn, what's going
Speaker 1: on Florida. Then you probably see Ron de Sant has
Speaker 1: come out and he's like, so, you know, um, with COVID,
Speaker 1: you know we're doing well. Do you see that clip
Speaker 1: of him trying to like catch his breath at a
Speaker 1: factory opening and it was like, are you hiding something, sir?
Speaker 1: You you're either you are so emotional from this semiconductor
Speaker 1: factory opening, or you are having serious troublereathing from potentially
Speaker 1: respiratory passionate about his job. It chokes him up. Yeah right, yeah,
Speaker 1: having to do it makes him sad. Right, and you
Speaker 1: get this idea. It's like, well they got something right
Speaker 1: by completely throwing out people's like basic rights to be
Speaker 1: treated as a human being that should live like out
Speaker 1: the window, and like their brute force policy is working.
Speaker 1: Rather than just saying Florida, this story is just Florida
Speaker 1: keeps lying about how the report and deaths there. It
Speaker 1: is not m let's do this. They really did a
Speaker 1: New York Times on that one. We got to go
Speaker 1: through Florida's phone. Florida has been lying. Florida is hiding shit. Okay,
Speaker 1: who's table talking Florida? What's going on? Any headline that
Speaker 1: I mean this is not that our listenership is falling
Speaker 1: for this, and this is more recovering the story as
Speaker 1: an example of how the industry media is complicit and
Speaker 1: all the misinformation that's going on. But any headline that
Speaker 1: ends with what's going on. At the end, they're putting
Speaker 1: out a bunch of different theories and it's probably completely bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's like stirring your curiosity. But like, but your job
Speaker 1: was supposed to ask this question internally and then figure
Speaker 1: you're supposed to this is like the pitch to your editor,
Speaker 1: and then you're supposed to figure out what's going on
Speaker 1: and tell us. Buried in the article is a very
Speaker 1: succinct description of what is happening, Like Florida is the
Speaker 1: only state that reports COVID death to the Center of
Speaker 1: Disease Control and Prevention by the date the death occurred,
Speaker 1: rather than the date reported to the state, or a
Speaker 1: combination of the two. According to a notation, the way
Speaker 1: Florida reports can give the appearance overall deaths are decreasing.
Speaker 1: The CDC notes this does not reflect a true decline
Speaker 1: and data should be interpreted with caution. So, yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: what you said, Teresa, that it gives the impression that
Speaker 1: there's perpetual decrease and it's actually just slow reporting and
Speaker 1: manipulation of the system. Yeah, what's going on? Then meanwhile,
Speaker 1: says I see you beds are filling up. Is another
Speaker 1: slug in that story it's like, Okay, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like everything's doing great, but don't believe what you hear.
Speaker 1: There could be magic. I mean Disney Disney World is
Speaker 1: in floor. Maybe magic will help them. I don't know,
Speaker 1: you believe in tragic There you go. Yeah, the the
Speaker 1: implication is that Florida's like rapidly aging or already aged
Speaker 1: population is just like killing it when it comes to
Speaker 1: surviving COVID and also like very relatively unvaccinated population. Anyways,
Speaker 1: good media we have. Let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and Girls Got
Speaker 1: Cookie season is as well. And this is exciting times,
Speaker 1: I think for people who like sugar such such in myself.
Speaker 1: But so there's this article in the takeout where they
Speaker 1: made reference to the fact that the there are two
Speaker 1: entirely different like kitchens, entirely entirely different factories that make
Speaker 1: the girl Scout cookies, and the cookies are like totally
Speaker 1: different depending on where you live. One of those called ABC, right,
Speaker 1: that's the one I remember growing up. Two bakers ABC
Speaker 1: and Little Brownie And yeah, you know they're mixtape on SoundCloud,
Speaker 1: fucking fire full Little Brownie. But the terrible joke. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I like it, man, I thought I thought it was good.
Speaker 1: It was. It was like one of those ones that
Speaker 1: like makes you think. So that's like me, that's my tagline.
Speaker 1: I'm one of the ones that makes you one of
Speaker 1: those that makes you think so. Thin mints, like I
Speaker 1: had definitely experienced this, Like some thin mints don't have
Speaker 1: that much chocolate around them. Some of them are just
Speaker 1: like kind of way free cookies that don't have much
Speaker 1: chocolate around them, and our mintier and those are different
Speaker 1: than the ones that I grew up with that have
Speaker 1: a bunch of chocolate around them. And I had interpreted
Speaker 1: that as Girl Scout Cookies are working with them with
Speaker 1: the process, working with the formula. Oh yeah, weren't. That's
Speaker 1: like some ship you would say, I feel like in
Speaker 1: the years past, like you black Yo, I think they're
Speaker 1: working with the formula. Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised that
Speaker 1: you're asking if I said that, seeing you got my
Speaker 1: invite to the City Hall protests that I staged and
Speaker 1: completely flaked on it. That don't let him fuck the formula.
Speaker 1: The standards of Thinness and Girl scott Cookies is just
Speaker 1: unachievable these days thank you, keep going up and down.
Speaker 1: It was on January six then why d C So
Speaker 1: that was kind of got overshadowed. But all cookies are bad,
Speaker 1: okay sir? But yeah, the it's it's just And also
Speaker 1: I did such little research that the answer was very clear,
Speaker 1: and I just like didn't didn't know that, like, oh no,
Speaker 1: there are two separate cookies. Nobody's changing anything, you dipshit.
Speaker 1: But people who don't move around, I think, would just
Speaker 1: assume that we all lived in a Samoa's world or
Speaker 1: a tag Along's world versus a Peanut butter Patties world.
Speaker 1: But those are two separate cookies made by the two
Speaker 1: different like regional Girl Scout Cookie kitchens. What's their like?
Speaker 1: Turf map look like like who gets what? Yeah? Is it?
Speaker 1: Like Jerrymander? Like, how does because it sounds like you
Speaker 1: grew up in California? R Yeah, I grew up in
Speaker 1: North Cala and we had peanut butter patties and caramel
Speaker 1: de lights. We had Samoa's and tag Alongs down here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's totally man. Look like there's something deeper
Speaker 1: we need to dig into. The big Girl Scout Cookie
Speaker 1: is trying to create divisive lines between northern California and
Speaker 1: southern California from a young age. They're working with Big
Speaker 1: Sugar to make us angry. I think I think there's
Speaker 1: something here. Yeah, there is. Uh. There is a map
Speaker 1: on l A Times that supposedly tells you which cookie
Speaker 1: you're eating and who who services you or zip code,
Speaker 1: but then the second type of city or an address,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't tell it's a no results found, Please
Speaker 1: refine your search. Huh. Okay, they they've never heard of
Speaker 1: Los Angeles apparently, But how are people selling girls coo
Speaker 1: cookies now? I mean they're not going to door to door,
Speaker 1: are they. Yeah, there's like an online online thing, Yeah, happening.
Speaker 1: But for instance, people on this podcast Zake Gang, we're
Speaker 1: probably confused because we kept referring to s'mores as being
Speaker 1: the sandwich style cookies with frosting and fudge hints of maple,
Speaker 1: as opposed to like s'mores from ABC Bakeries, which apparently
Speaker 1: doesn't service Los Angeles. Is like h ocolate coverage, Graham Cracker.
Speaker 1: It's like totally it doesn't even look like I don't
Speaker 1: know if I remember. That might be a new one,
Speaker 1: since mores are now They're like they're the third newest
Speaker 1: kind of permanent a dish and they're pretty. Actually, lemonades
Speaker 1: might also be um lemonades again, totally different looking cookies.
Speaker 1: And holdly you're saying you grew up with a thin
Speaker 1: mint that have more fudge covering on it. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: we didn't take that bite. You felt like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: getting through chocolate and I'm hitting the cookie. Yeah, whereas
Speaker 1: the crunch here with more mint. Thin mints are made
Speaker 1: by ABC Bakers, which are are the ones that don't service.
Speaker 1: But that's weird because I feel like I'm eating. When
Speaker 1: you said there was more chocolate, I'm like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like the chocolate is lacking on some of
Speaker 1: these thin mints. How much chocolate it could have had.
Speaker 1: I remember chocolate. There's a little it was chocolate coating, right,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but it was thin. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the thin mint the other ones are just away
Speaker 1: for cookie. There's no chocolate. That's not what I grew
Speaker 1: up with, though I had here let me I mean,
Speaker 1: unless I'm unless this picture is fooling, I do have
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I'm googling, and it's funny, Miles that
Speaker 1: you said to hit this cookie because I wanted to
Speaker 1: see what a dosy do look like. Pretty Much, any
Speaker 1: Girl Scout cookie you put into Google image is going
Speaker 1: to show you pictures of weed. Like, yeah, that's true,
Speaker 1: the pictures of weed. Thin mints. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: should be noted all of ABC Baker's cookies are just
Speaker 1: you know, loaded down with ta They should open a
Speaker 1: dispense Girl Scout Cookie dispensary. Is this thin mint with
Speaker 1: the whole No, right, but that's the ABC. That's what
Speaker 1: a lot of people grew up. Okay, that's no, that's
Speaker 1: not anything. And then okay, so we're definitely in Little
Speaker 1: Brownie because I remember you bought a pack of Smores
Speaker 1: that your Super Bowl party a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and this was the ships that we had. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was the Little Brownie Baker's version. Remember the short short
Speaker 1: bread that's the classic, right yeah yeah, yeah, trefoils, but
Speaker 1: they look different, Like, look, I just posted a link
Speaker 1: above the one that that com posted in there, and
Speaker 1: like you get side by side and even that even
Speaker 1: like the classic is like very different looking. This is trash.
Speaker 1: This is like forget the what is the Mandela effect?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where the divide in our country
Speaker 1: from off? Keep that going? What if someone dug in
Speaker 1: and it was just like you know, Trump voters or
Speaker 1: service by ABC bakers, Biden voters right a step fucked
Speaker 1: up Kendall gender Pepsi commercial. But Girls Scout Cookies in
Speaker 1: Fanuary six like what the try this thing? Ment though
Speaker 1: Q and on Viking and it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: actually go Mike Pennce protect democracy. My mind is being changed.
Speaker 1: I do feel like the Girl Scouts as an organization
Speaker 1: has has historically done a lot of like progressive things, right,
Speaker 1: But but it is interesting too. It's funny that the
Speaker 1: cookies is like we still think of the cookies as
Speaker 1: a big part of it, and they don't really. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I remember thinking like, oh I want
Speaker 1: to sell cookies, but it's like you don't get to
Speaker 1: bake the cookies. You don't get you just go to
Speaker 1: the door. Now you don't even go to the door
Speaker 1: and you just take an order. And then so I
Speaker 1: think they're like, maybe these bakeries are using these girls
Speaker 1: to raise money in a way that it's not going
Speaker 1: back to the girls. Make a little capitalism soldiers, you
Speaker 1: know what, go out there and fucking hustle. You're fucking
Speaker 1: selling out your trunk. Did you to like compete to
Speaker 1: be employee of the month like that with most picture
Speaker 1: like a wall that like otherwise doesn't get you ship?
Speaker 1: Yeah why not? Why not make you just make something
Speaker 1: and how the cut? Yeah? But so the two new
Speaker 1: ones are toast yea and Adventurefuls. Adventurefuls are like chocolate
Speaker 1: e they look fucking good. I haven't had one, but
Speaker 1: they are chocolate cookies like they look a little bit cakey.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my mom, who's chocolate chip cookies are
Speaker 1: very cakey, very caramel flavored cream. But it's like cream
Speaker 1: spelled the fancy ways. Yeah. Yeah, but anyways, you know,
Speaker 1: don't keep your head on a swivel out there as
Speaker 1: you're buying girl Scout cookies and check the box. Sniffet no,
Speaker 1: no this this this, let me this weight feels like
Speaker 1: you got a b c's in a little Brown's box.
Speaker 1: Open that ship right now. Yeah, let me let me
Speaker 1: use my razor blade real quick, like you doing chocolate.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, no, no fudge on this. They
Speaker 1: can come. Yeah. So I just I need to applaud
Speaker 1: the hey like we it's probably the website that we
Speaker 1: most approve of on the daily's. Like, guys, with the
Speaker 1: possible exception of Reductress, like we we love the food takes,
Speaker 1: we love their just so I love their editorial perspective
Speaker 1: on this. This new cookie called toast yea that is
Speaker 1: toast dash yea exclamation point. And they were just like
Speaker 1: they were literally reached out to the Girl Scout Cookies
Speaker 1: and were like, what what does that mean? A toast a?
Speaker 1: The Girl Scout of America responded, The name is designed
Speaker 1: to be a play on words for toasty, which evokes
Speaker 1: the warmth and joy with living. Blah blah blah. You
Speaker 1: know what toasty evokes. Toast draws on the cookies unique
Speaker 1: toast shape and attribute to the French toast, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he celebrates joy. It's like that is obfuscation. That is like, okay,
Speaker 1: so toasty is a word we all know, and then
Speaker 1: yea is a word we all know. So I just
Speaker 1: brought those together and answered question. Answered right. It's like
Speaker 1: if I wasn't much just before, now I really now
Speaker 1: I think this whole operation is being run by Russian bots.
Speaker 1: Like that does not sound like a human answers also
Speaker 1: like the the like politician level spin because Jack read
Speaker 1: the second read the full explanation of the YEA part,
Speaker 1: because it's not just like yeah, yeah, here we go
Speaker 1: and yeah. Celebrates joy, the joy that Girl Scout cookies
Speaker 1: bring to consumers, and how girl Scouts create moments of
Speaker 1: joy as they use their cookie earnings to support their
Speaker 1: communities and donate cookies to frontline workers and local causes
Speaker 1: in times like these O more than ever. Okay, yeah
Speaker 1: that is a bit of a stretch, but I mean
Speaker 1: consumers and then the frontline workers and local causes they've
Speaker 1: been compromised. The golf Scouts of America, We've lost them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this was definitely written by a Girl Scout of America
Speaker 1: who was either like had had somebody pointing some weapon
Speaker 1: at them or or their family like had just been
Speaker 1: shown a picture of their family in you know, being
Speaker 1: held hostage. Right. It's it's definitely a chamber of commerce
Speaker 1: type of response. I think of Girl Scouts. Hi, your
Speaker 1: consumer product not makes sense? Explain please, And it's like
Speaker 1: us to do with frontline workers. Fuck, You're like, oh shit, Okay,
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing, so like it so
Speaker 1: toast toast weed, maybe toast wet, toast eat. Oh yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't. How do we work stop this?
Speaker 1: To be better? Right? Well, well, toasty if they're doing
Speaker 1: toast toast we or just called toasty, Yeah, toase irena
Speaker 1: sounds like you're taking a pea on some toast. It's
Speaker 1: just like toasty is too close. Like they wanted to
Speaker 1: invoke the word toasty, so you could just use toasty,
Speaker 1: but they and what about the front Maybe you could
Speaker 1: take about the French accent and they're so borny for
Speaker 1: the frenchness, and there are other names, but then on
Speaker 1: this one they dropped it because I think they're in
Speaker 1: bed with the conservatives. That's what I gotta say. It's
Speaker 1: like freedom fries. This is the freedom fries ization of
Speaker 1: girls Scott cookies names or like just call them toast ease, Like,
Speaker 1: doesn't that feel like a simple You're evoking toasty and
Speaker 1: you've turned this adjective into like in a you know,
