Speaker 1: it's like different locale different seen. Yeah, I mean my
Speaker 1: new house. I have a new house in my whoas
Speaker 1: a desert compounds Yep, yep, we're gonna talk about compounds today.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, compounded. I'm fully ready. Yeah. If you hear
Speaker 1: some booms, it's because I'm marine based adjacent, so if
Speaker 1: you want an indicator is to the threat level in
Speaker 1: terms of our global situation. They're they're dropping stuff for
Speaker 1: fun out in the desert again. Oh wow, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where my things are great. I've paint my hair,
Speaker 1: remodeling stuff. I can do miter cuts now, I'm a
Speaker 1: true Yeah, what's a miter cut? I'm laying baseborts in
Speaker 1: our home and to achieve a seamless look at corners
Speaker 1: and to merge pieces when they are not long enough
Speaker 1: five degree angle and then fit them together. I'm I'm asleep.
Speaker 1: I just put myself asleep. But I can do it.
Speaker 1: I can functionally do it. And we're both acting like
Speaker 1: we knew because we have no like tangible works. He
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, you got it. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: didn't know how you. Yeah. Is that Jessica Fletcher behind
Speaker 1: you holding a yes? Yes, it's that's that's all. Go
Speaker 1: to old JB. So Caitlin has a background of Jessica
Speaker 1: Fletcher murder, she wrote, and I didn't know. Is there
Speaker 1: an episode where she pulls she's squeezing off that she
Speaker 1: holds up. You know, I'm kind of deep in season
Speaker 1: one right now. I feel like this is this particular
Speaker 1: still is from a credit sequence, but I think it's
Speaker 1: later on in the series when she's like teaching a
Speaker 1: class and for effect pulls out a gun as if
Speaker 1: she would, and then it banks that it just has
Speaker 1: the bang coming up, the little flag that says bang.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, joker. I feel like it's barely visible in
Speaker 1: my humor and maybe if I rotate my oh god,
Speaker 1: everything's oh yeah, oh there it is. I see the
Speaker 1: bang for everyone listening. But it will tease you into
Speaker 1: looking up. Jessica Fletcher with a gun that says bang,
Speaker 1: and it's worth it. It'll make your day. It's a
Speaker 1: pretty delight. Fletcher the original joker, if you ask me,
Speaker 1: first of all, no doubt. Yeah, yeah. She lives in
Speaker 1: a town that has the highest per capita murder rate
Speaker 1: in the history of I think, yeah, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: at articles I wrote it correct was talking about the
Speaker 1: most dangerous fictional towns to live in, and Cove topped
Speaker 1: the list. Surprised, but yeah, I mean there's one common
Speaker 1: factor to all these crimes, and it's that she's around.
Speaker 1: So what she's like, oh, somebody better investigate. It's like,
Speaker 1: do you ever think that she's marking these people and
Speaker 1: then trying to clean up her steps and be like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look into this. The clues that are left
Speaker 1: beyond are like are like, I left my hat at
Speaker 1: the scene of the crime level. So it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: either the this is just geographically the like happens to
Speaker 1: be the worst criminals, the worst murderers to ever do it,
Speaker 1: or she's bad at framing people. Well, that's so part
Speaker 1: of the murder she wrote situation is that there's almost
Speaker 1: a confession at the end of the episode, so like
Speaker 1: not supposed to bely she's the killer because we almost
Speaker 1: hear from the killer's perspective what they did and why
Speaker 1: they did it. And I just finished watching one because
Speaker 1: I just listened to television while I'm working, So I
Speaker 1: just have listened to a recent episode in which a
Speaker 1: bus driver killed demand twice, tied the fact that he
Speaker 1: killed him the first time. So we got two confession scenes.
Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry for spoiling this forty year old
Speaker 1: television show, but that is the outcome. It was Ben Gibbons,
Speaker 1: the breast driver, that's who did it. Yeah, but yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: when you come around to a second confession scene, that
Speaker 1: Chess Fletcher has teased out of someone by by hook
Speaker 1: and by crook. It is, man, what a formula? You know,
Speaker 1: what a show. Don't let you talk about it. I
Speaker 1: will keep talking. You have to. Most people have to
Speaker 1: physically restrain me from continuing to discuss murder. She wrote,
Speaker 1: So Jessica Fletcher in her own way, like the Joker,
Speaker 1: they both proved the pen as miter. You know, in
Speaker 1: many ways. She'll cut you at forty five degree angle,
Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, Caitlin, we are going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We might be seeing a second wave of
Speaker 1: colonization of the America's happening from anti Bax people and
Speaker 1: like right wing white supremacists and Nazis being like, we
Speaker 1: gotta find we gotta find our own, found our own colonies.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna Nazis hitting South America two point oh exactly.
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at that. We're gonna look at how
Speaker 1: it went in the past for them. Hopefully they're not listening,
Speaker 1: and or maybe hopefully they are. I don't know. It
Speaker 1: would be funny to see them fuck themselves up in
Speaker 1: new creative ways, but probably not good for the locations
Speaker 1: that they're going to. We're gonna talk about the great
Speaker 1: train robbery story that the l a p D Is
Speaker 1: trying to get the mainstream media to pick up and
Speaker 1: not just trying successfully getting them hook line and sinker.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about why that's bullshit. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Blockbuster video, all of that plenty more. But before we
Speaker 1: get to it, Caitlin, we do like to ask eric guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? I looked up
Speaker 1: the history of the Husky brand of tools with sincere
Speaker 1: interests and read the Wikipedia with UH and went like
Speaker 1: enough that I learned a lot about myself as I
Speaker 1: handed home remodel. Oh, so I didn't realize that it
Speaker 1: was an exclusively home depot brand. I guess I didn't notice,
Speaker 1: as I am a patron of other hardware stores. I
Speaker 1: just hadn't found my Husky. But I just it was
Speaker 1: one of those things where like, I'm so successfully drawn
Speaker 1: to the item that it's like, why is this marketing
Speaker 1: working successfully on my brain? Like what is it about
Speaker 1: this line of tools that like I also buy Ryobi tools,
Speaker 1: which are like, are you a beginner? Like, do you
Speaker 1: not have tools? There's one step above the Fisher price
Speaker 1: tools that it's a Fisher price. Then then the ikea
Speaker 1: drill than the Ryobi one, and I'm not coming for them.
Speaker 1: They work. I've gotten my minor cuts done. But Husky
Speaker 1: is I just brand tools for home sort of for
Speaker 1: home depot. Yeah, and they've been like butt and sold
Speaker 1: around by other companies, et cetera, but that now they
Speaker 1: are exclusively a Husky all right, excuse me, a Home
Speaker 1: Depot product. And the thing that got me that I
Speaker 1: had to laugh at myself out loud was learning that
Speaker 1: there is a higher tier of Husky called Husky Pro
Speaker 1: and just being like, hum, where do you find whoa
Speaker 1: well that's wanted? The quality? Can you list out perhaps
Speaker 1: compare the products side by side and some kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: just um, It's something I did before I realized what
Speaker 1: I was doing, and then was all the way through
Speaker 1: it was just like did I just look up Husky brand?
Speaker 1: Did I really? Just learned that hd X brand of
Speaker 1: tools and supplies is also a Home Depot exclusive, but
Speaker 1: does not have a lifetime warranty as Husky tools. Still
Speaker 1: right right, right, I just got a bunch of clamps, Caitlin,
Speaker 1: because my three year old broke one of our doors,
Speaker 1: like a cabinet door, just just hanging on it, just
Speaker 1: at it right down the middle. I was able to
Speaker 1: blue it back together with the power of plamps and
Speaker 1: very accomplished. Yeah, that's a satisfying repair. It was very
Speaker 1: satisfying repair. The the YouTube video I learned it from
Speaker 1: said that it's now stronger than it was before the repair,
Speaker 1: before he broke it. So now your three year old
Speaker 1: can swing off it. Yeah. Yeah, so now we're just
Speaker 1: using it as like a playground. But yeah, and then
Speaker 1: tell me what you think of this returning the tool
Speaker 1: after you've done the job. Wow, oh bold move. I
Speaker 1: mean it's something my wife is trying to get me
Speaker 1: to do because she's like, you're never going to do
Speaker 1: this again, Like you know, they do it in certain
Speaker 1: communities have tool libraries. I mean that is tool library
Speaker 1: because that's that's a cool thing you can do. I know, um,
Speaker 1: like some people in Berkeley that they're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: gotta go buy the tool library and like the fun
Speaker 1: and it's like you can check out a fucking tool
Speaker 1: as I know you're gonna need that miter again. Family,
Speaker 1: maybe not? You know who doesn't want you to know
Speaker 1: about that tool library? Yeah? I mean Home Depot is
Speaker 1: a terrible company. I am tracked in their services, right,
Speaker 1: it has been. You know, there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: you just do what you what can I live? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And look, if you're indirectly funding Donald Trump and other conservatives,
Speaker 1: then you know what I'm doing that every Literally, how
Speaker 1: can I not as there's not as I read, little
Speaker 1: piece of paper that is money leaves my hands, that
Speaker 1: goes in the I can't think somehow you're liked that
Speaker 1: part too, Yeah, yes, yeah exactly, So, yeah, what what
Speaker 1: can be done? But at least I try to look
Speaker 1: really gay when I go to Home Depot. I really
Speaker 1: try to get it up. I'll just like I try
Speaker 1: to make you girls means something else. I just really aggressively,
Speaker 1: like can I butch out this hair harder? Oh? Is
Speaker 1: this car hurt? Yes? It is, sir, we are wearing
Speaker 1: the same switch. Really get into it. And I'm paint stained.
Speaker 1: I look like I work like they're torn, they're snagged.
Speaker 1: I like they do look like garments that have been
Speaker 1: worked in. They're sufficiently dirty. Which is another measure of pride,
Speaker 1: of course, But I'm not alone in this move. The
Speaker 1: small town strut of the gate through home depot is
Speaker 1: a you know, and you you come with whatever flare
Speaker 1: you got. I really appreciate it as we pass one
Speaker 1: another and give the silent nod as we say nothing
Speaker 1: allowed is what it might rouse the anger of those
Speaker 1: around us. We just acknowledge what we have done and
Speaker 1: then move on. What is what you think is overrated? Overrated?
Speaker 1: Greeting cards that do too much? Why are they staying?
Speaker 1: Why are they lighting up? Why are they so like
Speaker 1: ones with electronics, with so much electronic it's overwhel like.
Speaker 1: So this is me being old. All of this is
Speaker 1: me being old. I'm just old and I have them.
Speaker 1: You know. Greeting cards served the purpose of like, oh
Speaker 1: that was sweet, and then you put it away for
Speaker 1: a very long time, and then maybe later in your life,
Speaker 1: when you were moving or cleaning, you get that moment
Speaker 1: again of like, oh remember when that was sweet, and
Speaker 1: then you put it away again, and then maybe you
Speaker 1: get that opportunity one more time down the road. The
Speaker 1: existence on the mantle is perhaps a short lived or whatever.
Speaker 1: In a mantle equivalent is in your life? Is that?
Speaker 1: And be at the fridge, be at a counter. The
Speaker 1: display of a card is a joyful occasion until in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night it just screams at you
Speaker 1: because it has been knocked over, touched, deliquately, blown by
Speaker 1: the gentle wind of a fan. I don't need one
Speaker 1: more thing that lights I just every electronic object in
Speaker 1: my life is like, did you want me to cloe
Speaker 1: at night? And it's like I absolutely did not. I
Speaker 1: want to be able to turn you off entirely in
Speaker 1: a way that does not mean you glow with me.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, I'm plugged in so unclowing, and
Speaker 1: it's like can I not? Yes, where I definitely identify
Speaker 1: with the with the dying card thing, because like I
Speaker 1: get sentimental, so I'll keep cards and things like that.
Speaker 1: And when I moved like from a spot I had
Speaker 1: this like someone got me like a fucking Pokemon card
Speaker 1: that had a fucking like voice box thing to yeah,
Speaker 1: and I forgot about it for like a year until
Speaker 1: it was like dying. So it just sounded like and
Speaker 1: I was like, what celebrate Yeah, Like but coming from
Speaker 1: like where I was storing ship and deepen up for
Speaker 1: a second, I was like, no, no, what is this? What? No? No?
Speaker 1: I actually figured I'm like, wait, no, it has to
Speaker 1: be that card. And I had that same thing, like
Speaker 1: why do we do this? It's so many of them?
Speaker 1: It was it didn't it used to be like top rope,
Speaker 1: that was the seven dollar card. You were spending a
Speaker 1: lot of. This was a special this was a ten
Speaker 1: year old birthday. This was a big deal card. But
Speaker 1: now it's like three rows of just like I scream
Speaker 1: at you when you opened it me and then something
Speaker 1: punches you in the face and I'm like, I'm actually
Speaker 1: cool on all of that. I need none of that.
Speaker 1: And this is so specific. But the box of cards
Speaker 1: that you have that it's it's just car. All the
Speaker 1: cards are card shaped and they all fit together as cards.
Speaker 1: So it might be a little taller, maybe a little
Speaker 1: longer or whatever, but in general they lay flat with another.
Speaker 1: The introduction of an electronic component is just like, well,
Speaker 1: now everybody's that's like the DVD cases that aren't just
Speaker 1: DVD cases, so they stick out in your shell that
Speaker 1: they all used to have that nobody has. The Simpsons
Speaker 1: ones were so annoying the seasons there. They were very cool,
Speaker 1: but it was annoying, and now they're stored all wonky,
Speaker 1: like you can't just make greeting cards to do less.
Speaker 1: That's although that was smart because they would get separated
Speaker 1: from the other ones. And now I've thrown away all
Speaker 1: my other DVDs, but my Simpsons ones are still like
Speaker 1: just scattered around the house in various like a big
Speaker 1: Lebowski DVD that's in a bowling ball and I'm like,
Speaker 1: how the funk might put this on it? And I'm
Speaker 1: exactly Who's like, oh I want that, gets it and
Speaker 1: then brings home and it's like, well, now what what
Speaker 1: what is the like that's got to be I wonder
Speaker 1: how much of a revenue stream that is for like
Speaker 1: Sly and the family Stone and other like the greeting
Speaker 1: card revenue, Like is Hallmark a big spender on like
Speaker 1: getting those rights. That's like big greeting card and big
Speaker 1: record company, which are probably both Unilever, Like there's still
Speaker 1: I don't think artists are getting that's like lower than
Speaker 1: Spotify level checks. Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: So again I'm old, and I've themed all these around
Speaker 1: the fact that we are all relentlessly flowing through the
Speaker 1: river of time. Compression were of all sorts. I am
Speaker 1: wrapped in something that is meant to improve a joint
Speaker 1: or do some task into four fingers or hands or
Speaker 1: wrists or knees or ankles or whatever at all times,
Speaker 1: and they are underrated and they should become fashion. Why
Speaker 1: am I forced to choose weird black or gray? Like,
Speaker 1: Let's make my niece lead look sharp. I'm saying, give
Speaker 1: me some style. Let's put a little pinassion to this leave.
Speaker 1: Let's just embrace that. Everyone's knees would feel better should
Speaker 1: they be gently compressed. Let's get on the bandwagon early.
Speaker 1: Why are we waiting until stares her like get on
Speaker 1: board before? Let's make it like get it trending. I mean,
Speaker 1: we did it with leg warmer. Think of the trends
Speaker 1: that we as society have achieved. We did the low
Speaker 1: rise chain with the thong on purpose. We did that
Speaker 1: in the same time period we did that weird camusol
Speaker 1: under t shirts for three layers game and only. Speaking
Speaker 1: of women's fashion, I believe just in this time every
Speaker 1: man was wearing a three XL shirt for no reason
Speaker 1: at all. You portholes were swimming. Why were you swimming
Speaker 1: trucker has happened. This was the organic trends. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean now you can embrace your bony arm
Speaker 1: with the let's skin. We have made so many trends
Speaker 1: occur out of out of nothing. Let's make it happen.
Speaker 1: For let's give these joints a moment. Let's shine. I
Speaker 1: feel like you're on the brink of like a new
Speaker 1: Beats by dre product. You know, like why the fund
Speaker 1: didn't every mother for no one has good knees right
Speaker 1: after a certain point and now creek, Yeah, exactly, sexy
Speaker 1: knee compression by Gilf. You know whatever that is that
Speaker 1: you can see it? I don't know I can see, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a way for a tour, because I think
Speaker 1: everybody's stuck with the same like like black on the outside,
Speaker 1: royal blue on the inside, or like black on the outside,
Speaker 1: crimson red on the inside, compression ship or yellow And
Speaker 1: you're like, come on, why can't the outside have a
Speaker 1: Paisley pattern? You know, all the crips with knee problems
Speaker 1: give me a tartan. Let's see what we got. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Louie that there's an untapped potential there
Speaker 1: perhaps visibly velcrow, like just the most visible Like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, this even if there's no velcrow, we
Speaker 1: want to make it look like it's put together with velcrow.
Speaker 1: We can't. We can't. I don't want to push this
Speaker 1: to like you know, this is a form versus function conversation,
Speaker 1: Like sure if yours needs velcro, I'm just saying there's
Speaker 1: a designer out there that can make that fabulous, or
Speaker 1: some kind of influencer that can wear a extra chunky
Speaker 1: knee brace and just be like it looks good in
Speaker 1: the whole world to be like it looks good, and
Speaker 1: then well, you just get athletes to do it because
Speaker 1: they already wear the ship they do. I feel like
Speaker 1: I am wearing an NBA let players like wardrobe, but
Speaker 1: for totally different reasons. I mean every I mean, basketball
Speaker 1: shorts through time have been not played basketball in with
Speaker 1: this is not a new tradition. But yeah, just like
Speaker 1: basketball players off the court fashion. Some of the best
Speaker 1: young players, I think Morant wears some long compression hose
Speaker 1: under his shorts. I'm sure he doesn't call them compression hose,
Speaker 1: but that's what they are. Joe l Embiid Also, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure Joe l embiids are like keeping him together,
Speaker 1: like keeping him together. But yes, that's the hard part
Speaker 1: is like all those companies they go after the athletes
Speaker 1: and they're like, here's seven million dollars to rock this ship,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna need to. I think we just get
Speaker 1: a ground swell going, you know what I mean. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: I would gladly accept seven million dollars to wear compression
Speaker 1: gear if anybody's offering, like, yeah, we're we're open to
Speaker 1: the conversation. We're not gonna say no outright. Okay, where
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick rate. We'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk about colonialism and we're back. And Myles, you
Speaker 1: pulled this trend that I I was kind of vaguely
Speaker 1: aware of. I didn't know that it had gotten to
Speaker 1: this level that the European white supremacists are thinking about
Speaker 1: coming hour away colonizing the America's Yet again, this is
Speaker 1: a really interesting one. Right. So, the there's many like
Speaker 1: right now in Western Europe, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are like just you know,
Speaker 1: sucking over everything. They're over the immigrants, you know, they're
Speaker 1: over the man dates, they're over the taxes, and they,
Speaker 1: you like, just disenfranchising us. So they have looked you
Speaker 1: know too, how do I okay to get their find
Speaker 1: their new home? And a website for one of the
Speaker 1: you know this community but really just a gigantic, weird
Speaker 1: settlement asks potential residents these questions just to get an
Speaker 1: idea of who they're trying to appeal to. Have you
Speaker 1: had enough of the preference given by economic refugees who
Speaker 1: are unwilling to integrate? Growing unease about the destruction of
Speaker 1: our culture and our homeland? Are you tired of paying taxes,
Speaker 1: tax audits and the tax office? Do you no longer
Speaker 1: feel at home at home in Germany? Do you expect
Speaker 1: the over burdened social systems and internal order in Germany
Speaker 1: and Austria to collapse? Do you long for real freedom?
Speaker 1: Do you want to finally get out of the matrix? Well,
Speaker 1: if you answered yes to any of those questions, you
Speaker 1: may be interested in this really bizarre place that people
Speaker 1: have set up in Para. They did capitalize matrix and
Speaker 1: put it in quotes, suggest sting that they're talking about
Speaker 1: the movie like do they is the same to people
Speaker 1: who just like I can't. I haven't figured out how
Speaker 1: to stop watching the movie. I think I don't. It's
Speaker 1: hard to say their their hate pilled either way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they really are. It's like it's a support group
Speaker 1: for people who are like, man, I gotta get out, man, please,
Speaker 1: just I don't know where that thing is in the
Speaker 1: back of my head so I can upflood myself from
Speaker 1: the matrix. I need to get out, sir. But yeah,
Speaker 1: these people are very serious and you know, and sort
Speaker 1: of the people that are even thinking about going to
Speaker 1: this place, and they're just all over the place, right
Speaker 1: They they've talked about like how they're trying to escape
Speaker 1: like five G vaccine mandates, fluoridated water, fucking chem trails,
Speaker 1: like all of these things are like straight up listed
Speaker 1: on their website. So it's very much like, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you freaked out by everything and making stuff up to
Speaker 1: come on down. And this area is owned by this
Speaker 1: couple named Irwin and Sylvia and now and they want
Speaker 1: to build a community quote large enough to preserve the
Speaker 1: culture of the individual ethnic groups, their language values, as
Speaker 1: well as science and education. Right now, they want to
Speaker 1: draw six thousand European immigrants to settle into a handful
Speaker 1: of small communities. M M. It makes my stomach feel bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think the trick here for them
Speaker 1: is that the government in part of why they they
Speaker 1: mandate that international travelers are vaccinated to enter the country.
Speaker 1: So the some of these like you know, want to
Speaker 1: be colonists. They're now like exploring like land entry options,
Speaker 1: so you know, because they don't want to buckle to
Speaker 1: the mandates or whatever. And also the free taxes part
Speaker 1: might be a problem because the government, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, what right, You're just gonna pull up
Speaker 1: and you don't pay any time? Okay, Well, yeah, we
Speaker 1: can try that out. So yeah, there, there's there's many
Speaker 1: problems presented by this group. Yeah, and you know, Paraguay
Speaker 1: is one of the worst places for COVID because it
Speaker 1: has like a very impoverished healthcare system. And so you're
Speaker 1: going to send a bunch of unvaccinated people to go
Speaker 1: there and obviously die themselves, but probably burden the healthcare
Speaker 1: system there. Healthcare system there and uh, you know, get
Speaker 1: other people sick, right, And the regional hospital there where
Speaker 1: they're settled settling has one ambulance and no ICU beds okay,
Speaker 1: but you know, sadly racists fleeing to this area is
Speaker 1: nothing new. I mean fucking Joseph Mangela, if you remember him,
Speaker 1: the Auschwitz Angel of Death. He ended up becoming a
Speaker 1: naturalized citizen. Uh yeah, later on because he bounced from
Speaker 1: like Brazil or you know how, you know how that
Speaker 1: Nazi shuffle goes Brazil or whatever you do when you
Speaker 1: find out where you end up, and that's where he
Speaker 1: ended up until his death in nine or he lived
Speaker 1: like sort of near the border, I believe. And also
Speaker 1: a colony for arians is also not a new thing,
Speaker 1: like Nietzsche's. Like sister and her husband they built a
Speaker 1: place called Nueva Germania there and it was a proto
Speaker 1: fascist colony that they set up. Her husband died and
Speaker 1: things just went really south. As quote, Nueva Germania sank
Speaker 1: under the weight of financial problems, internal conflict, and the
Speaker 1: settlers lack of agricultural knowledge. M hm. So I think
Speaker 1: that might be, you know some what there could be
Speaker 1: a similar path considering that when you think about the
Speaker 1: person for who's running this new place, Padais. He's also
Speaker 1: talking about preserving the Germanic people's culture, and keep them
Speaker 1: away from the quote the presence of Islam. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I do love any time these people want to put
Speaker 1: put their money on there on the line with the
Speaker 1: whole we're the superior form of humanity, so we can
Speaker 1: like do anything and then go down there and like
Speaker 1: not be able to start a fire, like like my
Speaker 1: bad Kurds from from homing from killing. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're fucked then, but yeah, do it in around backyard
Speaker 1: and try and fucking start a start a garden before
Speaker 1: you go do this ship. Well. Also like the hypocrisy
Speaker 1: right of these people being like the damn immigrants won't assimilate,
Speaker 1: so you're just gonna go immigrate something another country, fucking
Speaker 1: not just your culture, but not there whatever your idea
Speaker 1: of your culture is, uh cool, yeah it's but I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, this is kind of the thing.
Speaker 1: I've heard this from other people like in the US too,
Speaker 1: who are like kind of fringe e like you know,
Speaker 1: anti back side people. It's like there's a deep down
Speaker 1: desire to be like I just want to be a
Speaker 1: part of a community, Like I just want to get
Speaker 1: out of the city and like like live off the
Speaker 1: land so I can see how this can sort of
Speaker 1: snowball into then people with money being like we found
Speaker 1: this impoverished country, we've come like through bribes, we've created
Speaker 1: this other fucking you know, nation within a nation. Like
Speaker 1: when we've paid, we've bribed our way into sovereignty. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like the jonestown parallels are a little bit too much
Speaker 1: to just leave off the table, because cults are cults,
Speaker 1: and like it's simplistic to call something with such an
Speaker 1: influential global history as European racism a cult. But part
Speaker 1: of what gets people today involved in these movements are
Speaker 1: the same tools that cults used to drop people into
Speaker 1: their movements. This the language of like, are you alienated
Speaker 1: where you live? Do you think everyone else is wrong
Speaker 1: but you're super right? Do you want to be with
Speaker 1: all the other people that know they're right too? Are
Speaker 1: all these things a B and C defined clear scary
Speaker 1: things scaring YouTube like come on over the parallel to
Speaker 1: the language that convinces people to do something like leave
Speaker 1: it all behind to go to do backbreaking labor they
Speaker 1: are utterly incapable of doing in land, have no understanding
Speaker 1: of it. All is um It's not dissimilar. Yeah, their
Speaker 1: page you know is sort of saying like, you know,
Speaker 1: we've got the skills and people involved. We have a
Speaker 1: three D printer for altering. They always say that ship,
Speaker 1: so did I engagement told you that you're gonna be
Speaker 1: fine living off a van in his weird land. You're
Speaker 1: gonna die out there, don't go. But the fact that
Speaker 1: like Jonestown is like you know that this was a
Speaker 1: sort of left leaning vision of a paradise that was
Speaker 1: insidiously evil and by maniac. You can use the language
Speaker 1: on either side like this where it all meets in
Speaker 1: the terrifying middle is like taking advantage of people's alienation.
Speaker 1: There's like the fact that you are also racist says
Speaker 1: something terrible about you that is different. But the fact
Speaker 1: that you are vulnerable to these like you know, really
Speaker 1: transparent manipulative tactics. We talk a lot on this show
Speaker 1: about like how there's just such an utter like we
Speaker 1: just community, the thing that like is kind of invisible
Speaker 1: and not really well articulated in like our literature whatever,
Speaker 1: Like it's not a thing that really gets studied that much,
Speaker 1: but like it is an absolute human need to have
Speaker 1: community and like you know, family relations and friends and
Speaker 1: you know, it's probably what better documented in other cultures,
Speaker 1: but in America it's just like not so much. We're
Speaker 1: all atomized profit centers that are like trying to build brands.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm making up his name because it
Speaker 1: was I'm guessing it's Ron Johnson, and it is, but
Speaker 1: his name is Ron Johnson, a senator, And they don't
Speaker 1: even know if this clip was new, but I kind
Speaker 1: of feel like it was just like watch the video
Speaker 1: of a center senator saying like, I've never really thought
Speaker 1: that it was society's responsibility to help pay for other
Speaker 1: people's children. He was talking about like benefits for kids,
Speaker 1: and just the like you know, the talking point way
Speaker 1: in which you said it, where we're all supposed to go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not our responsibility, as if raising children isn't definitively
Speaker 1: communal job. Almost have other culture that's ever been. And
Speaker 1: I say that, hating kids and having none of my own,
Speaker 1: it's great that you have yours. Keep having them. They're great.
Speaker 1: I just can't they I don't know how to, but
Speaker 1: that's wonderful if you want. I don't want to, but
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you do, and I would participate positively
Speaker 1: with you in doing it, Like I will high five
Speaker 1: with them, I will smile at them in the market,
Speaker 1: and I would assist you in raising them because I'm
Speaker 1: part of a community. But that sense that our leaders
Speaker 1: holder that are sort of culture runs with that, like no, no,
Speaker 1: that's not up to me, and that I mean right
Speaker 1: back to this community. That's like, really these humigants to
Speaker 1: the warrant assimilate. It's like, do you mean these people
Speaker 1: that you live in a world with? Do you mean
Speaker 1: the people you share are one and only glove with
Speaker 1: that are now in your community, that you are now
Speaker 1: in a relationship with. Right, It's all forms of trying
Speaker 1: to deny the interconnectedness. Right. It's like, well then if
Speaker 1: I do this, then I'm I'm not beholden to man
Speaker 1: dates or whatever, but you probably are unless you've completely
Speaker 1: you know, you could completely control the government or something
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, yeah, it's it's yeah, it's like a
Speaker 1: visceral I feel like this and like even the stuff
Speaker 1: we're talking about with n f t s and like
Speaker 1: them being like having rituals where they're like good morning
Speaker 1: and good night to one another, like and yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like really sad and sweet, but it's like because we've
Speaker 1: replaced like these cultural and you know, community based relationships
Speaker 1: with social media that is a like monetize herbal like
Speaker 1: monetized thing algorithm. Like we are looking elsewhere for like
Speaker 1: what we used to get from community, and people are
Speaker 1: making money and getting power out of that. I think, right.
Speaker 1: And it's odd when you have senators be like, it's
Speaker 1: not our responsibility to do that, and they have to
Speaker 1: articulate that to be able to say that, like, well,
Speaker 1: that's why the policies are like that because I'm saying
Speaker 1: that's the norm. But you know, you look at what
Speaker 1: happens when natural disaster strike. Human beings typically are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I let's figure out how to help each other. You know,
Speaker 1: you need more stories than not when when ship's really
Speaker 1: going down, people do figure out. No, I'm willing to help.
Speaker 1: I understand. I can only imagine what it's like for someone,
Speaker 1: you know, who doesn't have the ability to like traverse
Speaker 1: the snow or whatever, and I can, so therefore I'll help.
Speaker 1: That's where it's it becomes a little bit sticky too,
Speaker 1: because you know, even if the if the rhetoric is
Speaker 1: just completely inhumane, there's that were still quite luckily we
Speaker 1: still haven't crossed that point where our instincts are now
Speaker 1: telling us to get the funk away from me needy person, right,
Speaker 1: I mean we do that on some level, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's but unfore, I think the only thing is in
Speaker 1: extreme situations it has to come out more when it's
Speaker 1: literally in front of our face. When that like our
Speaker 1: neighbor's houses on fire, we will probably go help our neighbor,
Speaker 1: even if we hit. It's a rare person that will
Speaker 1: let like their neighbor just like Parish in a fire,
Speaker 1: giggling outside there, and you could really hate that neighbor.
Speaker 1: But yeah, on a larger scale, the neighbor we can't
Speaker 1: see down the street, Oh they're starving, and we just
Speaker 1: don't pay any attention. But that's a different conversation and
Speaker 1: sort of a human condition. But like the like the
Speaker 1: racism spice is just so terrifying that mother ing like
Speaker 1: at this and this fragile point in our weird history
Speaker 1: is it's an interesting, horrifying thing to watch, Like the
Speaker 1: deliberate de humanization that is almost necessary to function in
Speaker 1: a society where four thousand people die of a disease,
Speaker 1: that we just have football games and still like it's
Speaker 1: there's a level of disconnect that's happening on a grander
Speaker 1: scale that we are seeing reflected more readily in that
Speaker 1: smaller individual scale where racists are just like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: racist that I'm going to Paraguay. That's a big step,
Speaker 1: that's not. Yeah. I do feel yeah, I do feel
Speaker 1: like the truth is ultimate atally, like on the side
Speaker 1: of like like like you were saying, like the fact
Speaker 1: that people in like after hurricanes will like look out
Speaker 1: for one another, but then you have like the police
Speaker 1: coming in and like arresting and shooting people. Like it's
Speaker 1: it's like the very basic, like most human instinct is
Speaker 1: the right one, and it's the kind one. It's just
Speaker 1: we have these like very persistent and profitable institutions in place.
Speaker 1: But that does at least I'm glad you brought that
Speaker 1: up about the natural disasters, because that is like kind
Speaker 1: of a thing that can give you a little bit
Speaker 1: of hope, is that, like you know, they're going to
Speaker 1: keep coming up with like different new institutions and like
Speaker 1: ways to try and like scam you and take advantage
Speaker 1: of your human needs. But like, ultimately we are instincts
Speaker 1: tend tend in the right direction, somewhat altruistic in the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of which, let's all send a mouse to Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Let's just all ship a copy to a pick and
Speaker 1: address and just send it out. Better drop a comic.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hope I picked the right state. But
Speaker 1: when you see it creeping here, like and it's so dumb,
Speaker 1: like the like that particular slivel the mouse banning was
Speaker 1: just so like, well, so damn minute, It's like that's
Speaker 1: that's the part you were worried about it, Like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing the same thing here, but dumber, which is
Speaker 1: just so hard to watch the spiral of Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: somehow dumber than idiocracy in the end, and the American
Speaker 1: ad for our colony would be like, are you tired
Speaker 1: of critical race theory being taught in your school? Like
Speaker 1: you know, that would be one of the banner headlines
Speaker 1: of the pitch to get like Americans out to Paraguay.
Speaker 1: And it's exhausting, it's just so painfully stupid. Exactly. You're
Speaker 1: sick of you sick of the your community becoming darker. Well,
Speaker 1: come on down to Little St. Jeff's Island. Me on
Speaker 1: Joe Rosen's definition of darker, where we write your skin
Speaker 1: according to this paint sample and try to figure out
Speaker 1: exactly what kind of black we would call you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well let's see this one. But I feel like it
Speaker 1: could be like the new villages right are like escaped
Speaker 1: colonies for people who are so vile because they realize
Speaker 1: you're like, man, I'm pretty much like just a pariah
Speaker 1: in my community. But I have the means to do something.
Speaker 1: Let me just live in Pariah Island and you know,
Speaker 1: we'll just melt down together. Okay, I mean I say that.
Speaker 1: I'm talking from a five acre campaign in the desert.
Speaker 1: I really have no license to be like, who are
Speaker 1: these people going to this isolated I've created it. If
Speaker 1: my idea is stund appealing to you, come and join
Speaker 1: me out here in this hard scrabble and biro. I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. Don't come. There are signs that say don't enter.
Speaker 1: But still, you know, it's a I really can't come
Speaker 1: for people who have decided to retreat a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just hope it from freedom Fried compound. But you're
Speaker 1: not saying, like my so philosophy is incongruent with being
Speaker 1: a good human being that's where they're at, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I don't know, people have probably
Speaker 1: heard the news about mouse being a banned in Tennessee,
Speaker 1: but that, Yeah, and then you made reference to a
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan clip that he's apparently just like openly openly racist,
Speaker 1: like I did. I didn't realize that until like I
Speaker 1: saw this latest batch of clips. But he's just straight
Speaker 1: up yeah. Like I mean, it's like it's like you
Speaker 1: didn't we had enough evidence before those clipso be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just put that on the waste pile right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. And I just
Speaker 1: wanted to touch briefly on the work of this writer,
Speaker 1: Alec Carrick. It's saying us, I think we're gonna try
Speaker 1: and have him on the show, but he laid out
Speaker 1: a story like that, the reality behind the story that
Speaker 1: was making waves a few weeks back in the mainstream
Speaker 1: media that like train theft is like this organized crime
Speaker 1: problem that needs to be addressed. This guy had taken
Speaker 1: a video at like a train yard in l A
Speaker 1: that like went viral, was like all over, like went
Speaker 1: mainstream media viral like it was like picked up by
Speaker 1: reporters and then The New York Times wrote a story
Speaker 1: about it. It was all over the front page of
Speaker 1: Drudge and so Alec sort of took a part the
Speaker 1: New York Times article, but just like looking at the
Speaker 1: sources that they actually used in the article, because the
Speaker 1: articles like basically, this is an out of control problem
Speaker 1: and the police are are having trouble controlling it, and
Speaker 1: it's totally new. Also, people have never been doing things
Speaker 1: like this in the history of arts in America, like
Speaker 1: including like my grandfather used to steal coal off a
Speaker 1: train in Chicago, like like in the Depression. Like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like a time on I mean, not a
Speaker 1: time honor thing. But this is nothing new. But but
Speaker 1: I love the angle this time to just always kind
Speaker 1: of bring it to like it's such an issue, like
Speaker 1: what's happening to our tea years. First of all, the
Speaker 1: for the reporter who happened to catch this viral piece
Speaker 1: video is a big pro police reporter. The New York
Speaker 1: Times article. The sources are a thirties end quote l A. P.
Speaker 1: D Captain, the police end quotes lap D Captain twice
Speaker 1: more railroad Corporation twice Railroad Corporation spokesperson Association of American
Speaker 1: Railroads L A P D. Captain, Assistant professor of Marketing,
Speaker 1: SO Railroad Corporation, Railroad Spokesperson d A. L A p D.
Speaker 1: Captain five more times five Golden Ray four Railroad Corps
Speaker 1: to Association of American Railroads fun Ellen's a police and
Speaker 1: an assistant professor of marketing. The fact that it's a
Speaker 1: professor of marketing, how did they even put that in its? Like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm about to be tenured. I feel like we need
Speaker 1: to spartan this up a little bit because it's all
Speaker 1: just cops being like we need more bang bangs. Well, well,
Speaker 1: I know a professor kind of an assistant professor brother,
Speaker 1: one of those doctors that smoke in the beginning of
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties infomercials like I'm a doctor and I smoke
Speaker 1: Winston cigarettes. They're good for your healthy nerves. He also
Speaker 1: points out like that this was exactly how the story
Speaker 1: that went viral right before Christmas was constructed with the
Speaker 1: uh you know, national wave of smashing grab coordinated retail theft,
Speaker 1: and then the story is about how like write aid
Speaker 1: or CBS are one of those. Walgreens was like hemorrhaging
Speaker 1: money from all this theft. And he had also taken
Speaker 1: apart the Chicago Tribute article which was all the sources
Speaker 1: were all police and ceo of retail lobbies or World
Speaker 1: Business Chicago, or restaurant lobby. So it's all just business
Speaker 1: interest sort of collage mixed with police sources. And I
Speaker 1: just I feel like this ship is very effective because
Speaker 1: people love to be scared of a new crime wave
Speaker 1: that is like affecting America or their community. There was
Speaker 1: this truly staggering Frank Luntz thing that I keep coming
Speaker 1: back to, where they like sat down with a panel
Speaker 1: of quote undecided voters who all seemed to be decided
Speaker 1: about the one big problem with America being that we've
Speaker 1: defunded the police and now crime is out of control,
Speaker 1: which alec And in the thread points points out that
Speaker 1: that that was not a thing that happened. Nobody got defunded.
Speaker 1: Like he he was like, here are the things that
Speaker 1: they don't mention in in the piece that the lap
Speaker 1: D already has an astonishing three billion dollar budget, most
Speaker 1: of it is spent on low level traffic, drugs, homelessness,
Speaker 1: and mental illness related stuff. Lap D is in the
Speaker 1: midst of a big budget fight trying to get a
Speaker 1: twelve percent increase in the l A. P D and
Speaker 1: l A Sheriff together have sixty seven full time employees
Speaker 1: working on pr and propaganda. They spend so much money
Speaker 1: and time planting these sorts of stories, right, or to
Speaker 1: like funk with the work of people like you know
Speaker 1: Series Castle. Yeah, like like actively like unmasking them and
Speaker 1: then them constantly having like you know, harassment camp and
Speaker 1: just making life difficult for people who are trying to
Speaker 1: like you know, shine a light on this. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: the flip where it's like these teenagers pushed an ambulance
Speaker 1: to pick up this sun attendant ninety four year old grandma,
Speaker 1: Like let's give him a gold medal, where like the
Speaker 1: mainstream media also normalizing conditions of our decline as being
Speaker 1: heroic or adorable or somehow like the three billion dollars
Speaker 1: that you just brought up, it's a straight line between
Speaker 1: like it's fine that this is happening and like these
Speaker 1: guys need more money, Like there's not a a difference
Speaker 1: in those where like, well that money should go to
Speaker 1: like actually repairing or crumbling infrastructure that's making all these
Speaker 1: like that's making like a go fund me get a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old car for a woman who walks through
Speaker 1: the snow to get to a minimum wage job. Like
Speaker 1: that's not a feel good story. That's a community depleted
Speaker 1: of resources because there's an insidious straw drinking their milkshake. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my references are dated if they're like timeless, right, it
Speaker 1: is that just from the valley, you know, but just elsewhere.
Speaker 1: He pointed out that Balet Sheriff in the aftermath of
Speaker 1: the racial justice protests had forty two employees doing misleading
Speaker 1: pr in an information bureau costing millions, and the strategic
Speaker 1: communications director made two thousand dollars a year. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: head boot throat gets two grand. Yeah, damn, damn. That's
Speaker 1: not enough blood money. Like that's a ton of money.
Speaker 1: That's a ship ton of resources for one job to
Speaker 1: go to that like shouldn't even exist. But also that
Speaker 1: is not enough money to sell your soul. Like it's
Speaker 1: just not you've got taxes, You've got all sorts of
Speaker 1: ship coming off the top of that. Like that is money,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah that you need, fuck you money to
Speaker 1: pitch the police to the main thing. Want to talk
Speaker 1: to that person be like, do you know what your
Speaker 1: your job actually is? It's like maintain billions of dollars, Yes,
Speaker 1: those numbers to completely sustain our rapid decline and regression
Speaker 1: as a society. Okay, well do it for two. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing it's like somebody who's promoted internally and like their
Speaker 1: other option is like doing you know, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. This also kind of made me think of this,
Speaker 1: uh Chicago story where there are actually like starting to
Speaker 1: fund a very small pilot program, but like an actual
Speaker 1: they're putting funding behind it, where mental health resources are
Speaker 1: like a there's a number you can call instead of
Speaker 1: nine I think it's but and like get mental health
Speaker 1: help instead of the police coming with guns drawn to
Speaker 1: you know, panic and harm somebody. M So, I don't
Speaker 1: know that. That made me think of that because I
Speaker 1: do think like that these reporters just have it in
Speaker 1: their head that like, well, if we need to if
Speaker 1: we want to find out what happened here, who do
Speaker 1: we talk to? Like after a tragedy, we can talk
Speaker 1: to the victims family, and we can talk to the
Speaker 1: police and also just the the nature of the relationship
Speaker 1: between like local news and police is sort of like,
Speaker 1: y'all give me stories so I can say things on
Speaker 1: the news that will make people watch the fucking news.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to challenge a fucking thing you
Speaker 1: say because then I lose my scoops on things. And
Speaker 1: so everything is already funked up, like because of it's
Speaker 1: like yeah where it's everything is so interconnected in terms
Speaker 1: of like the motivations on why to do it. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you think of many like local reporters are
Speaker 1: just like they just look at it. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: what's my job is to talk with the people like
Speaker 1: you know, like that are that are helping keeping us safe?
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't I don't know any something.
Speaker 1: I don't know someone who's destitute to talk to. And
Speaker 1: also I don't think that's what the news should be about.
Speaker 1: There has to be like a movie where a Commissioner
Speaker 1: Gordon speaks after yeah, we still lend weight to like
Speaker 1: whatever an official voices, and there's not a counter with
Speaker 1: equal society societal like cloud that you know, there's no
Speaker 1: balance to what the voice of the police is. There's
Speaker 1: no other institution for human welfare and our society that's
Speaker 1: like recognized as an official our officials are in the
Speaker 1: criminal justice system for whatever those three words incongrussly mean.
Speaker 1: It's a weird conundrum where I mean, again back to
Speaker 1: the fascists that are trying to form their own community,
Speaker 1: we're still weird apes who enjoy a hierarchical order and
Speaker 1: want to look for the voice that we should listen
Speaker 1: to in a situation. And societally we still make that cops,
Speaker 1: we still make that representatives with like recognition that we've
Speaker 1: assigned and we don't really have a parallel. We don't
Speaker 1: recognize like you know, you'd bump up a quote from
Speaker 1: a cop and a social workers at the bottom of
Speaker 1: an article, even though institutionally like perhaps building some balance
Speaker 1: and how we perceive those jobs. I mean, but then look,
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing. But yeah, we don't really have
Speaker 1: a balance for those voices, and that is a weird
Speaker 1: position for reporters. Yeah, for all, For all the l
Speaker 1: a p D. Captain quotes like where's the one from
Speaker 1: a sociologist or a community activist or organizer or someone
Speaker 1: who can actually explain what the condition of human beings
Speaker 1: would be that would create things like this. It's not
Speaker 1: because it's a bunch of board rich people you know
Speaker 1: like it. But again that's that's a bridge too far.
Speaker 1: And it's just easy to be like, oh, man, so
Speaker 1: people just stealing stuff and they're like yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: like expensive, man, millions in like losses. Yeah. And they
Speaker 1: had a quote from the sheriff being like, they're trying
Speaker 1: their hardest, but we just don't have the funding. We're
Speaker 1: just so understanding here. They are really trying, but we
Speaker 1: were all understand but we are all understaffed. He said.
Speaker 1: It's one of those it's the deadliest year on record
Speaker 1: for police in this police force, and then you discover
Speaker 1: it's all understated COVID destin It's like, well, god damn,
Speaker 1: it's uh. I do wonder if it's like a strategic
Speaker 1: communications director for police making two dollars a year, if
Speaker 1: once you get to a certain sized institution in the
Speaker 1: mainstream media, if like it's not an option to report
Speaker 1: those stories I'd like to have, like, you know, well,
Speaker 1: where are the voices we should listen to at that scale?
Speaker 1: And I think at that scale, that's not a voice
Speaker 1: that's gonna get hurt that, like, you know, all those
Speaker 1: interests are united. The same people who make the stuff
Speaker 1: that's sold to the police are also making the media
Speaker 1: pitching the police, so it's really hard to like separate them.
Speaker 1: And if you're a reporter actually making money for writing,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I feel like i'm generalizing, generalizing
Speaker 1: a group that's like working really hard. But I can't
Speaker 1: imagine what it's like to be a journalist who's trying
Speaker 1: to tell these stories that are real news, shedding light
Speaker 1: on things that should our society should know and care about,
Speaker 1: and being silenced by these enormous institutions and their peers
Speaker 1: in a field. Like what an interesting time in journalism
Speaker 1: where there's so much news to report and so much
Speaker 1: news not being reported by institutions that are technically hiring journalists.
Speaker 1: That's just gotta be really tough. And I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you talked to those folks. Yeah, well, we do need
Speaker 1: to talk about Blockbuster video, which is on everybody's mind.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's like a viral trend of people building full
Speaker 1: scale video stores in their basements. I love our pivots.
Speaker 1: The media is fucked. We don't we don't have a
Speaker 1: proper bounce. All right, we're a Blockbuster. Let's get back
Speaker 1: to we need to. Yeah, so one guy in British
Speaker 1: Columbia is making a Blockbuster two in his basement and
Speaker 1: actually renting movies to people Like everybody else, that seems
Speaker 1: like it's just like very space inefficient way to how's
Speaker 1: their video collection or DVD collection? But this person is
Speaker 1: actually like creating a place where people you know, can
Speaker 1: come and rent videos from his home. Okay. And there
Speaker 1: there's also that documentary The Last Blockbuster on Earth. The
Speaker 1: theme or sort of the way that that movie leaves you,
Speaker 1: you're like, are they gonna last like one more year?
Speaker 1: And it turns out like that it has vastly increased business,
Speaker 1: which obviously it has that that Netflix documentary Netflix, to
Speaker 1: the point that Netflix recently greenlit an entire comedy series
Speaker 1: starring Randall Park set in the Last Blockbuster in America. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Last Blockbuster in America is killing it. Unfortunately, crypto
Speaker 1: enthusiasts are attempting to buy the Blockbuster brand. Blockbuster Dow
Speaker 1: wants to raise five million dollars to buy Blockbuster from
Speaker 1: one of the owners or from the owners, which is
Speaker 1: Dish Network I guess who. I guess I'm guessing or
Speaker 1: not going to do that since they just reached that
Speaker 1: deal with Netflix, But yeah, they they're the doll. Goal
Speaker 1: is to turn Blockbuster into a streaming service powered by
Speaker 1: Blockbuster crypto tokens and also featuring a original film and
Speaker 1: gaming content. Dude, hell yeah, blockchain Blockbusters. It's just right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just sit yummy. But you know, JM points out that
Speaker 1: like this ties perfectly into what we've been talking about
Speaker 1: the whole time, that like the reason people are nostalgic
Speaker 1: for Blockbusters, it was a time when we got to
Speaker 1: leave the house and see people in our community in
Speaker 1: the context of like looking at movies and talking about movies.
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, I mean it's the same ship, honestly,
Speaker 1: Like because a lot of people, like there's all kinds
Speaker 1: I see like viral TikTok videos two of people like
Speaker 1: turning their basements into like these like retro spaces. It
Speaker 1: really like people are looking for that comfort of like
Speaker 1: just regressing into like their childhood nostalgia. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I said this before. We just need to buy an
Speaker 1: old abandoned mall and get ship kind of looking like
Speaker 1: ninety three in there, and you can people will fucking
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I can only imagine if you had
Speaker 1: a food court with like old Ship. It feels like
Speaker 1: the nineties somehow, people be like this is like we're
Speaker 1: always needed to be And I can and I see
Speaker 1: that with the Blockbuster stuff because it connects to me too.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that would be like fuck it if
Speaker 1: there was something like that, I'd probably go just to
Speaker 1: have that feeling of like, you know, like even at Blockbust,
Speaker 1: like finding the video you wanted, you'd like, curse the
Speaker 1: heavens if someone else rented it, You're like, fuck right.
Speaker 1: Earth Girls Are Easy is out again with the power
Speaker 1: trio of Jeff Goldblum, David Damon Wayin's and Jim Carey.
Speaker 1: It's so slept on all right? Who entered Cereal? Mom? Right?
Speaker 1: These are pussy willows? Love that. I love that movie.
Speaker 1: In three Mall, like you would like the teenagers who
Speaker 1: deal weed there would be forced to deal really shitty weed.
Speaker 1: Like you just build a dispensary in there, but you
Speaker 1: license it so you buy it from a guy in
Speaker 1: a Pearl Jam t shirt. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: The dispensary like they're just guys. You'd be like, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you got weed, and like they've got like a bunch
Speaker 1: of like legit retail candidates and they're like gosh, it's
Speaker 1: already taxed. But then you can like and then go
Speaker 1: to part of the parking lot where you can smoke.
Speaker 1: It's just Toyota canrays with like smoked out yeah, and
Speaker 1: get picked up by a fleet. Yeah, you get picked
Speaker 1: up by a fleet of ubers that are just like
Speaker 1: mall cars from that eraw or like Dodge caravans, like
Speaker 1: with the wood panel siding like your parents. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, like a minivan with but with the lights
Speaker 1: underneath it. That was like kind of oh he had
Speaker 1: an underglow kit. Underglow kit on a on his mom's
Speaker 1: might win Wait minivan wait them all would be a
Speaker 1: huge hit anyway. Look, that's why y'all gotta buy zeke coin,
Speaker 1: you know, so we can raise the capital because the
Speaker 1: ninety three mall DOW, the decentralized autonomous Organization is looking for,
Speaker 1: you know, to put that capital together. Moonfall is like
