Speaker 1: the veins. Yeah, Sam, where are you coming to us from?
Speaker 1: I'm in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yeah, I think I'm in
Speaker 1: a nice part of town. I just tried to get
Speaker 1: a hair My hair is getting long. I just tried
Speaker 1: to get a haircut and I called the place right
Speaker 1: by me and I was like, how much for a haircutting?
Speaker 1: The lady said ninety one dollars and I had to
Speaker 1: I had to act like I wasn't horrified and all that.
Speaker 1: Wait today, it's crazy off the wait for a twy
Speaker 1: one in New York. Off the way, damn damn Charlotte
Speaker 1: with the expensive cuts. They're gonna hit you with like
Speaker 1: a full shampoo shower, Like I assume, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's a lot, but you know it's all way up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the club here's Comedy Zone. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's been a good time. So two more nights. Nice.
Speaker 1: I love that move. Or like you asked about something
Speaker 1: and it's way too expensive, but you don't want to
Speaker 1: be like god damn that kind of money, so you're
Speaker 1: like mm hmmmm, and that's just for a regular cut. Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. It was Billy with my friend Gary Gary Viter,
Speaker 1: were walking around the Uh. We just look into a
Speaker 1: clothing store and I was like, oh, this way, Jack
Speaker 1: it's kind and I said, kind of nice, come on,
Speaker 1: and then we look at the price second with twelve
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, and we just had to be like, let's
Speaker 1: just take one lap around so I don't think we're trash.
Speaker 1: And one lap and we're out. Oh oh, I thought
Speaker 1: this was a higher quality swede. Apparently this is lowbrow.
Speaker 1: Never mind Corinthian Swede. Sam, You're you're normally from New York,
Speaker 1: which not known for its like a reasonable bowl prices.
Speaker 1: I guess mostly on rent, though, is it our hair cuts?
Speaker 1: Like I've I lived in New York for a little while,
Speaker 1: I remember actually haircuts being pretty reasonably probas that's the
Speaker 1: thing about New York. Everyone thinks it's expensive, and it is,
Speaker 1: but there's so much, you know, there's so much competition
Speaker 1: that you have to you're not gonna stay open. If
Speaker 1: you're charging forty for haircut, you give me one bad haircut,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not going back to the forty five
Speaker 1: dollar place, you know, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never
Speaker 1: like settled on a single place to get my hair
Speaker 1: cut when I lived in New York. And one time,
Speaker 1: it was the day of the Super Bowl, I was
Speaker 1: going to a super Bowl party. It took a lot
Speaker 1: longer than I expected. So I was kind of like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's get it moving here. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna just leave. And I think he
Speaker 1: thought I was saying we're good here, like I I
Speaker 1: don't need you to continue the haircut because I showed
Speaker 1: up at home and my wife and for me that
Speaker 1: I had a long rat tail in the back. And
Speaker 1: then I just got I got to show up to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl party rock and that it was actually
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But like you're a Buccaneers fan,
Speaker 1: you know we uh. I used to do that too.
Speaker 1: I would go to the to get a cheap haircut.
Speaker 1: Back in the day. I would go to the student
Speaker 1: barber's downtown in the East Village and they some of
Speaker 1: them just did not give a crap. So you get
Speaker 1: a guy. I remember I got a guy. Some guy
Speaker 1: goes lunch break and he goes thank God, and he
Speaker 1: just left me. Like I was like, all right, I
Speaker 1: guess I guess this is my haircut now. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: happens happens at the barber shop. I remember, Yeah, back
Speaker 1: when I had hairs that I would pay to get cut.
Speaker 1: That was always the fun of like when you get
Speaker 1: in the barber's share and they will get a phone
Speaker 1: call and they're like, hey, hold up one second, bro,
Speaker 1: I gotta take this. And they start having a full
Speaker 1: off fight with somebody on their cell phone on the
Speaker 1: street and you're like, bro, please, I'm trying to make
Speaker 1: a fucking appointment in a second. But yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: know if they're like Woody Harrelson and white men can't
Speaker 1: jump and they play better when they're angry, or they
Speaker 1: might be exactly they come back, or they'll just be
Speaker 1: like edging you have like this is like bro, and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good man, I'm good man, Micro's tripping man. Wherever
Speaker 1: I go, they always have the soccer game on, which, like,
Speaker 1: it does not make you feel great that someone's holding
Speaker 1: something that sharp to your head. I'm a next fan.
Speaker 1: If there was a game on, I would not be
Speaker 1: given a good haircut. You know, it freaks me out
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I just sort of out of
Speaker 1: like you just be completely unfocused on You're like, oh
Speaker 1: for sure, yeah, and also I mean that's a bad game.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, but yeah, it's it's you
Speaker 1: can tell it's not like the most important gig. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if they're a sporting event on yeah, yeah, you can
Speaker 1: quickly see priorities come to the surface for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and one basket is not gonna usually like change someone's
Speaker 1: emotions that much in hoops, but in soccer, like that's
Speaker 1: that's it's a lot. Yeah, one goal can be like
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk man, Sorry I funked up
Speaker 1: your hair, But that was that was huge for me.
Speaker 1: So I had an early joke in my act. I
Speaker 1: was like, you can tell whatever music they're playing at
Speaker 1: the barbershop, that's the haircut you're gonna get. And that
Speaker 1: would just be like Armenian hip hop, that's right here.
Speaker 1: We know there, it is, there, it is. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter your haircut. That gets a laugh no matter what,
Speaker 1: because no one knows what the hell Armenian hip hop is.
Speaker 1: Valley Baby, Yeah, there' as a lot of Armenia rappers
Speaker 1: out here. It would normally be shaved down if yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was like that's the Glendale Armenia rapper. Look for sure,
Speaker 1: I do that. So haircuts and I think nails are
Speaker 1: two of the things that actually the price goes down
Speaker 1: when you live in a city whereas everything else is
Speaker 1: more expensive. But there's got to be like I'm sure
Speaker 1: economists have like come up with the name for that.
Speaker 1: But cool man. All right, Well, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. The Missouri Republican Party does not like science.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna look at that. It's a good
Speaker 1: time that their time ming is good to to just
Speaker 1: you know, give up on science. So we're gonna look
Speaker 1: at how they are sharing that that viewpoint with with
Speaker 1: the world. We're gonna talk about We're gonna ask and
Speaker 1: answer the question who the fund is Dr Oz Why?
Speaker 1: Why does he believe that he is the best person
Speaker 1: to be a senator in Pennsylvania where his in laws
Speaker 1: are from. Apparently we're gonna check in with the annual
Speaker 1: Get Fucked Up Awards. We're gonna talk about all that
Speaker 1: plenty more. But first, Sam, we do like to ask
Speaker 1: our guests, what is something from your search history? You
Speaker 1: know what? This is a bad one, but it's for
Speaker 1: a joke. I should previsate it was for a joke.
Speaker 1: Epstein's plane. Uh huh Express, it was. It was for
Speaker 1: a bit I was working on because of the actual trial,
Speaker 1: so I need a bit, but I wanted to give
Speaker 1: context to that. Yeah, right, just being like how cool
Speaker 1: was this plan Express? How much are these flight lugs
Speaker 1: getting out there? Like if some like too three flights
Speaker 1: on it, is it a big deal or what? Well, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm at the Comedy Zone in Charlotte. And
Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks it's Chris Tucker and it's like,
Speaker 1: you might know Money Talks Friday and Epstein's playing Apparently.
Speaker 1: I was a huge Chris Tucker fan growing I mean,
Speaker 1: but to me, Money Talks like that was as a kid.
Speaker 1: I saw that in the theater like three times. Dude
Speaker 1: Vic Demon Jr. Oh my god, he's so funny in that.
Speaker 1: I that this Victmon. I mean, I love Chris Tuckers Friday.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Friday, but he went that that flight
Speaker 1: was what to be like Bill Clinton and like South
Speaker 1: Africa or something. Oh yeah, but he got brought up.
Speaker 1: I think as like somebody that the pilot recognized. I
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to put that out there. Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's the one time I guess being recognizable worship
Speaker 1: because I'm sure there's a bunch of people that people
Speaker 1: will be like who, but that's uh, you know uh.
Speaker 1: And even there was even like a quote with the pilots,
Speaker 1: like I didn't see anything that weird and it was
Speaker 1: one quote and you're like, well, if you saw Bill Clinton,
Speaker 1: that's weird, Like just just me seeing Bill Clinton on
Speaker 1: a commercial flight. That's like one of my best stories
Speaker 1: in my life, right, jet right for weird for you
Speaker 1: pilot person, you know, yeah, I think we might what
Speaker 1: we might not be using having the same definition. That's right.
Speaker 1: You probably you run private jets, so you probably jaded
Speaker 1: as hell by celebrities at a certain point. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was Epstein's like main dude. Like Epstein paid for
Speaker 1: his children's college tuition and like bought his home, so
Speaker 1: he was he was not just like an average jet pilot.
Speaker 1: He was like his his whole claim that like I
Speaker 1: never saw a underage woman without her parents. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm I'm slightly skeptical. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say there there might be a at least a
Speaker 1: single Pinocchio that might be awarded to that claim. That's
Speaker 1: gotta be a weird life. They had the maid testified too.
Speaker 1: You're like, what I mean the ship they these poor
Speaker 1: people have saying you're just like Jesus Christ. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: just think you're gonna like clean some billionaires home and
Speaker 1: you see like a top list twenty two year old,
Speaker 1: You're like, all right, this might be a lot. I
Speaker 1: don't write. Yeah, the the advice that the advice that
Speaker 1: made was told or I guess orders job description was
Speaker 1: see nothing here nothing, say nothing, Yeah, which you can
Speaker 1: avert your gaze, but you can't really avert your ears. Yeah, memory, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they just they should. They should
Speaker 1: give these people, you know, noise canceling headphones. That's my
Speaker 1: main note for the laborers of Jeffrey Epstein. Give them
Speaker 1: at least noise canceling headphones. That would also be like,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna like make like a movie where like
Speaker 1: somebody's are creep that would be a good little like
Speaker 1: specific to have in there is everybody works in the
Speaker 1: house has like noise canceling headphones on the whole time. Sure,
Speaker 1: I've always said bows, I've always said bows should like
Speaker 1: get in on that, like, that's not the only advertise
Speaker 1: you can do. Like, you know, I try to joke
Speaker 1: once it never really worked where I said, uh, you
Speaker 1: think anyone on nine eleven had noise canceling headphones and
Speaker 1: they were the last to know? And because that's to me,
Speaker 1: that's a good bows commercial. But the ad is, how
Speaker 1: could you never forget if you never really knew? You know?
Speaker 1: That's the Yeah, we can see why it didn't work.
Speaker 1: I think it's funny. I think that I don't know.
Speaker 1: You gave up on that one too soon. We'll give
Speaker 1: it a shot tonight. We'll bring it back. You're inspired me.
Speaker 1: When people were saying too soon loudly, they were saying,
Speaker 1: you were giving up on this one too soon. You
Speaker 1: should keep keep work shouting it. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Soon? Here's what I think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Is is saying yes to too many things. Somebody, some
Speaker 1: people will tell you, like you gotta live, you gotta
Speaker 1: do everything. You gotta say yes to everything. I say
Speaker 1: yes to so much stuff I should say no to,
Speaker 1: and saying no is turned into one of the greatest
Speaker 1: joys of my life. Is just being like no, it
Speaker 1: feels good. I did. Uh. I was supposed to do
Speaker 1: some gig and they were like, you gotta fly in
Speaker 1: a day early for radio and I was like no,
Speaker 1: and they were like you have to and I was
Speaker 1: like no, and then they were like it's very important
Speaker 1: for the gig and I was like okay. And then
Speaker 1: the day before I was like, no, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? Book a new comedian? No. They were like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's all great, underrated saying no, yeah, but
Speaker 1: morning radio you missed out the best parts of being
Speaker 1: a stand up, right, didn't you get into it? For
Speaker 1: getting on those morning waking up at thirty where I
Speaker 1: used to purposely tank morning show spots just so they
Speaker 1: would never have me back. I would go in and
Speaker 1: say horrible ship on air to make and I in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: they they stopped booking comedians. So if you're playing the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh improv and you don't have to do morning TV,
Speaker 1: you're welcome. That's because because I did that and I
Speaker 1: a loving joke over there, they didn't like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the incentive structure for those doesn't doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 1: We produce a podcast. This is important with the guys
Speaker 1: from wor Acoholics and Blake, the guy with the long hair.
Speaker 1: They were talking about this like legendary appearance that he
Speaker 1: had where he like was booked on a local news
Speaker 1: show the morning after the Warriors, which is his like
Speaker 1: favorite NBA team won the championship, and he was just
Speaker 1: like so hungover and accidentally said funk like three times.
Speaker 1: But like that's the best thing possible for his career,
Speaker 1: for the show he's promoting, because then it goes viral
Speaker 1: and like the only people who it's bad for are
Speaker 1: the people who are like booking him and dealing with
Speaker 1: the complaints from the FCC or whatever, and you know,
Speaker 1: and then also like they're all these fines and I'm like,
Speaker 1: but are there really Remember I did a morning show
Speaker 1: once and I was hungover and I was tired. It
Speaker 1: was like a radio show, and I I accidentally told
Speaker 1: us worry about getting a hand job in a town
Speaker 1: car and they went to break and they go, you
Speaker 1: could have gotten us fine two hundred thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: every market, And I'm like, okay, so I just cost
Speaker 1: you two point five two point six million that that story.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, shut up, it's not that big a deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like if anyone listened to our show, right, And like,
Speaker 1: I remember when I worked at radio sometimes like rappers
Speaker 1: would come on like freestyle and like start for getting
Speaker 1: there on the radio and there, but there's a button
Speaker 1: you know, to like just dump it just to be
Speaker 1: like just because you know, there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a delay just for that. But I remember always being
Speaker 1: they would always be like yo, I'm so I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry in the host It's all good, bro, like,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. So based off so we had
Speaker 1: very different versions of me seeing a situation where someone's
Speaker 1: like yo, and fu blah blah blah, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, it's even. Then the reaction seemed to be
Speaker 1: it's nothing, but I don't know a deal from Arrested Development,
Speaker 1: All right, what is something you think is underrated? Okay?
Speaker 1: Everything bagel seasoning right now? I love it, dude. I
Speaker 1: put it on so much stuff. I mean, I'll make
Speaker 1: you know, I'll make my girlfriend like avocado toast. And
Speaker 1: I started throwing that on there, blew her mind. She
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell is this? And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is the perks of dating the Jew.
Speaker 1: You get so many things I'll open your eyes to culturally.
Speaker 1: You know, She's like, what how about some more of
Speaker 1: that white fish Sally? Yeah, I love that, dude. I
Speaker 1: shot the opening and one of my specials at Barney
Speaker 1: Green Grass. I don't. I don't mess around. I did.
Speaker 1: I didn't sketch in the opening at bar legendary New
Speaker 1: York Jewish type deli food with great great spot Upper
Speaker 1: West Side. Yeah, I was just I walked by there.
Speaker 1: It was too crowded, so I went to Sa Bagel
Speaker 1: and then get a trip at Russ and Daughters. You
Speaker 1: know you're gonna do that, But I've got Trader Joe's, right,
Speaker 1: did you Are you getting to that Trader Joe's because
Speaker 1: I feel like that's where I started to see a
Speaker 1: lot more everything bagel type of ship. But they have
Speaker 1: everything bagel potato chips that I was like, okay, let me,
Speaker 1: let me funk around really quick. And it was It
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. I'm not gonna lie. It was a little
Speaker 1: too salty from my taste, but having that flavor on
Speaker 1: the chip was a bit of an experience. They're getting
Speaker 1: a little reckless with the chip flavors. Yeah, I see dill,
Speaker 1: pickle and I'm like, I've got to be hammered to
Speaker 1: get dill pickle potato chips, you know, Like, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's fine, but like even like pepper and cheeney, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here, guys, Like, let's just have
Speaker 1: some chips. Let's just cremon, onion, barbecue, salt and vinegar.
Speaker 1: We're doing the classics and classics for It's like when
Speaker 1: you go to a bar and they have these crazy
Speaker 1: cocktails and you're like, you're getting a cocktail. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get a class of cocktail. Let's be real, right, Unless
Speaker 1: it's like something where it's like, oh, we use passion
Speaker 1: fruit foam on the outs. I'm like, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: it's twenty three. So if you're gonna make like if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some like cocktail, I'm gonna get like
Speaker 1: a manhattanan and a groaning. I'm just getting something classic.
Speaker 1: Unless they're like something you know you gotta have this right.
Speaker 1: It kills me At some of these comedy clubs, I'm like,
Speaker 1: can I get an a groaning? They're like, oh, we
Speaker 1: don't have the ingredients. I'm like, well, I see, you
Speaker 1: know how to make a yellow gummy bear over here.
Speaker 1: You can't make it a groaning right, Classics, the Yellottle,
Speaker 1: gummy Bear, the Manhattan you know, the first in all
Speaker 1: of the bartending arts. All right, Sam, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back to talk about some news.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and you know, we we've seen a
Speaker 1: general trend that is getting it seems like it's getting
Speaker 1: more popular in in the country where they're getting tired
Speaker 1: of the mask mandates in this country, I should say,
Speaker 1: in particular, not around the world. People have generally gotten
Speaker 1: their mind around masks across the globe, but in America
Speaker 1: they're they're pissed. Man. Even as we have this new strain,
Speaker 1: this new flavor of coronavirus breaking out, people are still
Speaker 1: not having it. Yeah, I mean, it's it's been one
Speaker 1: of those things that just it's you know, people act
Speaker 1: like they're wearing some kind of fucking death shroud when
Speaker 1: it's just like such a small thing can do for
Speaker 1: your own safety and you know, just consider it for
Speaker 1: other people. But in Missouri, specifically, their governor, Mike Parsons,
Speaker 1: he's just been one of these governors has been like, man,
Speaker 1: masks are just so bad. I believe that everyone should
Speaker 1: make their own health decisions unless it has to do
Speaker 1: with reproductive health, but that do what you feel is right,
Speaker 1: and he's long argued that stuff would just be like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just not convinced by the science, okay
Speaker 1: about the mass stuff. Just it doesn't really add up
Speaker 1: for me when I hear about this efficacy stuff, despite
Speaker 1: the fucking numerous studies out there that you know, all
Speaker 1: world governments are being like, yeah, this seems like a
Speaker 1: first step to ensure people's safety, but you can't world governments.
Speaker 1: You gotta do your own You gotta do your own research.
Speaker 1: That's what people. You gotta do your own research. I've noticed.
Speaker 1: I've noticed that places with really good barbecue or they
Speaker 1: don't have great views on women's reproductive rights. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. If you called dinner supper, you were
Speaker 1: against the woman's right to choose most likely. But I
Speaker 1: will say no. I've been in Missouri three times this year.
Speaker 1: I've done Kansas City, I've done Springfield, Missouri, I've done St. Louis.
Speaker 1: The mass situations a little, you know, it makes me
Speaker 1: nervous for sure, because look, I'm triple vas. I don't
Speaker 1: know the hell, I haven't gotten COVID yet. Just being
Speaker 1: on the road, I'm pretty cautious, but it is pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: You see certain certain cities like Springfield, Missouri especially. I
Speaker 1: was kind of like, you're old, you should be scared.
Speaker 1: I'm be less scared than your right, and they're like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: take a selfie with me. Let me get real cough on.
Speaker 1: But yeah. Like so the governor ordered the state's health
Speaker 1: department said, you know what, look up the data then
Speaker 1: that data that y'all are talking about, and just, you know,
Speaker 1: let's see how well the masks, you know, or how
Speaker 1: negatively may have affected transmission. And I think he figured
Speaker 1: that they would come back with the study that said
Speaker 1: it didn't work at all, lives so each ship or
Speaker 1: something like that. Well, the stick was from the Missouri
Speaker 1: Independent quote. The statewide data shows that from the end
Speaker 1: of April to the end of October, and this is
Speaker 1: basically through the height of the delta spike or surge
Speaker 1: that was going on in the state, that jurisdictions with
Speaker 1: mask mandates experienced an average of fifteen point eight cases
Speaker 1: per day for every hundred thousand residents, compared to twenty
Speaker 1: one point seven cases per day for every hundred thousand
Speaker 1: residents in unmasked counties. So they're like, ohh and like
Speaker 1: they just showed like two there's like there's a very
Speaker 1: clear graph. It's like here's the places that did it,
Speaker 1: and here's the ones that did. The ones that didn't
Speaker 1: just had more transmission as a result. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think this is something that most people accepted as
Speaker 1: just common sense in general, like that having something over
Speaker 1: your mouth and knows while you're exhaling or inhaling will
Speaker 1: probably just cut down on the number of particles and
Speaker 1: things that you're exhaling. So I do just want to
Speaker 1: say that. So the numbers are fifteen point eight per
Speaker 1: day where there is a mass mandate, twenty one point
Speaker 1: seven cases per day for every one thousand for residents
Speaker 1: and unmasked communities. But like the masked communities are also
Speaker 1: in a state that has a leader who is like,
Speaker 1: don't wear masks, masks or bullshit, and like the general
Speaker 1: consensus around them. So I'm sure like that's not even
Speaker 1: like as low as you could go if people if
Speaker 1: you were in a community where the leadership was like
Speaker 1: listen to scientists. So I guess because like really it
Speaker 1: was like Kansas City and St. Louis were sort of
Speaker 1: the outlaw fires in the state that had mask mandates
Speaker 1: and as a result, you know, the state attorney general
Speaker 1: and missouris like, We're gonna fucking sue the City of St.
Speaker 1: Louis for doing this, and they did. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: when the governor got this this data set, the analysis,
Speaker 1: like this data was not released to anybody, like they
Speaker 1: hid that ship. It wasn't include this is from the
Speaker 1: Missouri Independent again, uh, and the Missouri Independent only got
Speaker 1: their hands on it because they did like a you know,
Speaker 1: sort of like a Foyer request for it, and they
Speaker 1: said the analysis wasn't including in material the department prepared
Speaker 1: for cabinet meetings. The email show neither the Health Department
Speaker 1: nor Parsons office responded to request for comment asking why
Speaker 1: the data has not been shared publicly because that would
Speaker 1: show that they were wrong. But again with this one
Speaker 1: attorney like these this attorney general that was suing like
Speaker 1: the City of St. Louis when they were asked about like,
Speaker 1: hey man, this data shows that like masks worked, Like
Speaker 1: what what do you have to say? A spokesperfect person
Speaker 1: from the Attorney General's office said quote, we just this
Speaker 1: premise and these charts. We've been clear that Missourians should
Speaker 1: have the right to make their own decisions and that
Speaker 1: government bureaucrats shouldn't be mandating master vaccines. We will continue
Speaker 1: to fiercely litigate our lawsuits against mask mandates in Missouri.
Speaker 1: I know you can also make your own decisions, but
Speaker 1: like you should not be persuading people not to do it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I don't understand what
Speaker 1: I understands. Like, sure, you're sick of the mass. I
Speaker 1: get it, We're all sick of them. It's annoying, No,
Speaker 1: you can't. Actually it's annoying, but you do it because
Speaker 1: it's just the right thing to do for now, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's one of those things with like, uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's bad for business, Like you go to these
Speaker 1: places and they've turned into like your your rights rather
Speaker 1: than like a safety concern, and you're like, well, you
Speaker 1: fucking know why you have to wear it? Don't make
Speaker 1: this Why you politicizing something this bad? It's it's completely irresponsible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really. We were saying earlier last week that it
Speaker 1: felt like it feels like the Republicans are coming out
Speaker 1: more and more as a pro pandemic party, Like they're
Speaker 1: like in favor of the pandemic, which is just an
Speaker 1: odd decision. I feel like they painted themselves into that corner.
Speaker 1: But like, I can't imagine that many Republican political strategists
Speaker 1: are happy with like where where they find themselves. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm some I'm someone who's voted Democrat and I think
Speaker 1: every election in my lifetime. But you know, Democrats also,
Speaker 1: Republicans have done a much better job at at relating
Speaker 1: to the working class and shutdowns. I mean, as someone
Speaker 1: who plays all these clubs and have seen how much
Speaker 1: you know, bars and restaurants have struggled through the pandemic,
Speaker 1: the Democrats really don't understand that they're messing with people's
Speaker 1: livelihoods when airlines are bailed out and when hotels are
Speaker 1: bailed out, but when it's so fucking hard for like
Speaker 1: you know, mom and pop places to get a p
Speaker 1: P P loan or whatever. I mean, I think that's
Speaker 1: really whether the right and left need to come together.
Speaker 1: You know, it might be tough on that one, given
Speaker 1: the state of things, but yeah, it's true. Like I
Speaker 1: think just in general, Democrats are not even trying to
Speaker 1: connect like how all of this helps for people's just outcomes,
Speaker 1: Like in terms of, hey, if if we slow the
Speaker 1: pandemic down, then it won't negatively affect businesses and much
Speaker 1: as much or your your livelihood. But if we keep
Speaker 1: doing all this start stop ship, it doesn't help. And
Speaker 1: on top of that, I think taking away people's unemployment
Speaker 1: benefits too. It's like such a wildly unpopular thing to do,
Speaker 1: but they did it. So yeah, it's, uh, well, no
Speaker 1: one wants to do the server jobs anymore. No one
Speaker 1: wants to No one wants to be a waiter anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, you see what you can make on unemployment,
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, I'd rather pursue whatever dream I
Speaker 1: have part time then then do this server job. So
Speaker 1: you know, everywhere you go now is understaffed and and
Speaker 1: and they really just need to raise the price of
Speaker 1: food and the restaurants and pay servers more. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I mean because like restaurants and bars already on like
Speaker 1: razor thin margins and things like that. So on some level, yeah,
Speaker 1: if that's what it takes, or you all right, shape
Speaker 1: one places are like look, we're just folding in a
Speaker 1: tip like to the cost of your bill, because that's
Speaker 1: how we give our employees health insurance, so make it
Speaker 1: easier for you to patronize our business. Yeah. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: of patronize, let's talk about doctor Oz, because this is
Speaker 1: America's doctor. He likes to explain our health to us
Speaker 1: with the benefit of metaphors like the vagina is a
Speaker 1: self cleaning oven, or visuals like a vagina that his
Speaker 1: guests could walk through. Those are the ones that stick out.
Speaker 1: He doesn't only talk about vaginas, but like, those are
Speaker 1: kind of the the the episodes that stick out my
Speaker 1: memory for recently. You know, I don't love hydroxy chloric
Speaker 1: quinn though too. Yeah, he's a doctor who is saying
Speaker 1: that I love. Yeah. He He made an announcement via
Speaker 1: an op ed in the Washington Examiner because you know,
Speaker 1: presumably TMZ wouldn't return his calls, but he claimed that
Speaker 1: he's running for Republican nominee for the Senate race and
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania specifically because of the pandemic, saying, when you mix
Speaker 1: politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. And
Speaker 1: Washington took away our freedom without making us safer. So
Speaker 1: like I could see if there was a a doctor
Speaker 1: who was really good at communicating actual medical facts to people,
Speaker 1: which is I think like part of why Oprah had
Speaker 1: him on in the first place is like what he was.
Speaker 1: The promise of doctor Oz was supposed to be that,
Speaker 1: like he's a respected doctor who can also communicate with
Speaker 1: the masses. But unfortunately, like hidden in there was just
Speaker 1: this fame hungry whatever it takes to get more people
Speaker 1: to pay attention to me character that it's worth taking
Speaker 1: a look at, like what this dude actually how he
Speaker 1: actually operates, because I was gonna say what he actually believes,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't appear to believe anything other than that
Speaker 1: people should be paying attention to him. Yeah, he's like
Speaker 1: he's like a rock star surgeon. That guy. He's like
Speaker 1: it's so weird, Like I know he's a real doctor,
Speaker 1: but I do kind of look at him as a
Speaker 1: doctor the way I look at Keanu Reeves and as
Speaker 1: an assassin, Like I know, you put in work to
Speaker 1: make this look good, but like I don't. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like, what what business do you have in politics?
Speaker 1: I just think, like you know, it's like you push
Speaker 1: the Nettie pot on us. Thank you for that. For
Speaker 1: the Nettie pot that's great and you're sick. But it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, who gives a ship Like he does have
Speaker 1: like a little bit of Tom Cruise in him if
Speaker 1: you watch where like yeah, you're a doctor, the way
Speaker 1: he did his own stunts and mission impossible, Like he's
Speaker 1: got that vibe. I kind of like, what do you Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't trust alternative medicine people, like I know he's
Speaker 1: a real doctor, but he does do that like they
Speaker 1: always have stories of like you know, like sure you've
Speaker 1: got COVID, but it could also be treated with uh
Speaker 1: you know echinasia and Turkey tale. So I don't I
Speaker 1: don't trust it. Yeah, he's literally said things like you
Speaker 1: should try lavender soap if you have restless like synd him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what is very nice, but you know it wasn't.
Speaker 1: So he is actually a legit doctor, an accomplished surgeon,
Speaker 1: I should say so, Like surgeons are the mechanics of
Speaker 1: like doctors. They are the ones who are like from
Speaker 1: Jump Street in medical school, like decide not to ever
Speaker 1: really interact with patients. But he's a celebrity surgeon, like
Speaker 1: he would show up like once a week, like he
Speaker 1: wasn't doing like a lot of reps he was doing.
Speaker 1: He was like, like when you see a celebrity at
Speaker 1: the comedy Seller, You're like, that's Dr Je. You're like,
Speaker 1: why weren't they that funny? I'm like Christo shooting movies.
Speaker 1: That wasn't not good right, right, So he like back
Speaker 1: in the day before he was a TV surgeon, he
Speaker 1: won awards for his research, holds the leven patents for
Speaker 1: inventing methods and devices involved in heart surgeries and transplants.
Speaker 1: And he was also interested in alternative medicine even before
Speaker 1: it was a TV thing. And there there are plenty
Speaker 1: of like really good doctors who are interested in alternative medicine,
Speaker 1: and one of them that he co founded this center
Speaker 1: with says they were just constantly fighting with Oz over
Speaker 1: his inappropriate marketing of their unproven methods. He said, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to experiment with alternative techniques that could potentially
Speaker 1: be helpful. It's another thing to claim that they work
Speaker 1: with no justification in order to help your career. And
Speaker 1: one of the center's employees claimed that it wasn't actually
Speaker 1: about helping people, but it was all about boosting OZ
Speaker 1: of celebrity. She remembers that OZ would say things like
Speaker 1: give me a patient because the cameras are coming in
Speaker 1: and tell me what I need to know. Like if
Speaker 1: you look this gentleman here is suffering from terrible joint pain,
Speaker 1: it's like, no, I can't see the cameras. Yeah it's
Speaker 1: you suck. But yeah, it's h that whole thing, especially
Speaker 1: hearing that the people that work for him are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's more just into pushing stuff even if it doesn't
Speaker 1: fucking work, just because that gets people to be like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: he's saying something I want to hear. And then do
Speaker 1: you realize, like that's sort of like his you know,
Speaker 1: his guiding principle through his entire careers. Like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: if I have to say something like wild ship that
Speaker 1: will just get people kind of excited, then I'll fuck it.
Speaker 1: I'll say whatever funk I got to. You know, he's
Speaker 1: he's an entertainer. I mean, and you could tell his
Speaker 1: nether stander because Trump sucking loves him. But I mean
Speaker 1: it is weird the camera thing. Like and those people
Speaker 1: who those altern of medicine people never they always have
Speaker 1: a story. They always have a story. It's always like
Speaker 1: you know, the politics, Like I met an eighteen year
Speaker 1: old and he was a star athlete, and he was vaccinated.
Speaker 1: And as to getting vaccinated, he pooped himself to death.
Speaker 1: And you're like, all right, but this doesn't sound real.
Speaker 1: This sounds like you're just trying to google. Tell me
Speaker 1: on something. Yea, google it you can, or search it
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Guarantee you'll find some research it up. He
Speaker 1: trademarked the term America's Doctor and just became known for
Speaker 1: making spurious medical claims on his show and platform and
Speaker 1: guests with anti scientific viewpoints. He shared the stage with
Speaker 1: vaccine deniers, activists like the food Babe, who I was
Speaker 1: not familiar with prior to jam putting putting us research
Speaker 1: in front of us. But she's apparently the Jenny McCarthy
Speaker 1: of food and weird title where you're like, oh, what
Speaker 1: do you do? I'm the Jenny McCarthy of food? Right, Okay, cool?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I say a lot of wrong stuff?
Speaker 1: Remember when Jenny McCarthy was doing comedy, right, Remember when
Speaker 1: remember were like Jenny McCarthy, I mean, thank god I
Speaker 1: wasn't a comedian in the nineties. Imagine trying to sell
Speaker 1: a sketch show and they're like we're going with Jenny McCarthy, right,
Speaker 1: like you know the check whose naked all the time?
Speaker 1: That she got the sketch show over here from Singled Out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: from Single Out? Have you seen her? She does all
Speaker 1: these crazy faces and stuff. She's she's really expressive, man,
Speaker 1: that's what she would do. She was kind of like
Speaker 1: doing like a poor man's Jerry Lewis type thing. Where
Speaker 1: right and she's funny. I'm like, no, she's she's You're right,
Speaker 1: She's just making faces. That was very expressive. She's like
Speaker 1: and then like liqu a guy's face and then you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Jennie McCarthy, she's got it. It's for
Speaker 1: a wild that her. She ended up with Jim Carey
Speaker 1: for a period because they're both very like at the
Speaker 1: top of the facial expression based comedy. That must be
Speaker 1: a pretty hard fake laughing at those jokes. So, you know,
Speaker 1: Jim got tired. He was like, look, I'm used to
Speaker 1: contwarding my face, but this is brutal. Come on, He's
Speaker 1: like to to to actually have to pretend to smile
Speaker 1: and enjoy as a seal action I haven't developed in Yeah.
Speaker 1: So in two thousand fourteen, people are thinking that maybe
Speaker 1: his current sent a bid like this might be his
Speaker 1: Obama roasting Trump moment, like the thing where he was like,
Speaker 1: all right now, now I'm serious and I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: all these people pay. He was grilled by the Senate
Speaker 1: Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance during a
Speaker 1: hearing on false advertising in the diet and weight loss industry.
Speaker 1: He defended himself using computer print outs of online studies
Speaker 1: and transcripts for from his own TV show And Yeah,
Speaker 1: following that, ten prominent physicians penda letter to the Dean
Speaker 1: of Columbia suggesting that Osby removed from the faculty for
Speaker 1: having repeatedly shown disdain for science, but as far as
Speaker 1: I can tell, they didn't. Like he's still like a
Speaker 1: big name at Columbia, which again, like I feel like
Speaker 1: there is this understanding that all academic institutions are like
Speaker 1: wildly leftists, and I think, you know, at least all
Speaker 1: like you know, Stanford and so some of the highly
Speaker 1: respected ones, fucking Harvard used to have Larry Summers as
Speaker 1: their president. Like there're a lot further to the right
Speaker 1: than people think, and it's it's all about money, right, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure he makes donations. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: gets donations. Like having a celebrity there, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: all about the dough. Yeah, he appear, appears for a
Speaker 1: fundraiser and then suddenly like yeah, it's it's good to
Speaker 1: have him around. I mean, and this is the same
Speaker 1: issue that's sort of like happening at UCSB with that
Speaker 1: gigantic dorm hall that the that like Warren Buffett's like
Speaker 1: ninety year old right hand man like designed, and like
Speaker 1: it's gotten even worse this week because he's like out
Speaker 1: here saying stuff like these architects don't know what they're
Speaker 1: talking about. They're like, sir, I'm an actual architect. You're
Speaker 1: a billionaire who dabbles with pictures and you're you're you're
Speaker 1: proposing a building where nine percent of the residents won't
Speaker 1: have windows, and you think that's gonna be a good environment.
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing where UCSB has been like yeah,
Speaker 1: but the thing is like gifts typically come with these
Speaker 1: kinds of like restrictions on it, so, uh, we might
Speaker 1: have to put kids in a cramped you know whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it, prison block. Yeah. So OZ
Speaker 1: responded to that letter written by the ten prominent physicians
Speaker 1: from Colombia by dedicating an entire episode of his show
Speaker 1: to picking apart their qualifications and professional interests. Trump, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's straight trumph. And he also, I had forgotten this
Speaker 1: because like like so much of just by like sheer
Speaker 1: physics of the size of a human brain. I've had
Speaker 1: to like memory whole so much of the ship that
Speaker 1: went on during the Trump administration. But like Trump went
Speaker 1: on the Doctor Oz show in and most presidential candidates
Speaker 1: released their medical records, he had not up to that point.
Speaker 1: And then he appeared on the show and handed oz
Speaker 1: two crumpled papers from his pocket as evidence of and
Speaker 1: oz Oz was like, oh, yeah, look look at these.
Speaker 1: These look really comprehensive. Like it was just straight up
Speaker 1: like bullshit theater. Yeah, wow you are Wow. Are you
Speaker 1: sure you're not a horse because you are? Mr Trump? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just going by the iver me then that's why I
Speaker 1: think you're a horse. But hydrochlor whatever. But he uh yeah, Trump,
Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy, the amount of I mean,
Speaker 1: we forget s n L. The fallon hair rob I
Speaker 1: mean some of those are gonna go those are gonna
Speaker 1: be in history books. Yeah, yeah, exactly, the road to
Speaker 1: normalization for sure. But yeah, it's interesting again, like we
Speaker 1: were talking about this last week of like how him
Speaker 1: and Trump are just so similar because they've benefited from
Speaker 1: this this I guess perception that merely being on television
Speaker 1: and saying you're like you're a doctor or a rich person,
Speaker 1: that most of the viewing public is like, that's true,
Speaker 1: that's infallible, and this person is an expert and we
Speaker 1: should all listen to them because they're on TV and
Speaker 1: they're handsome. He's gonna have to beat Bobby Flay for
Speaker 1: the position. No, it's really amazing, But you're right being
Speaker 1: having name recognition and being having a big following. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: think about so many of these presidents in the primary,
Speaker 1: it's really just like building their social media page. We're
Speaker 1: just like, wait, Pete boutag Edge and then you're like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Pete Bota Jedge. You know, it takes a
Speaker 1: minute for them to be recognizable and have the you know,
Speaker 1: the name recognition. You know, sometimes it hurts you. And
Speaker 1: in New York, I guess it heard Andrew Yang a
Speaker 1: little bit because we're like, yeah, we know, we don't
Speaker 1: yeah on board. But if you're a celebrity. You're that
Speaker 1: means you're good on camera, and what are the what
Speaker 1: are these debates? You know? I mean you riffing. Trump
Speaker 1: really did change something where they got really sick of
Speaker 1: seeing pre planned speeches and Trump, you know, he is
Speaker 1: good off the cuff. He had that on people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was just he just was like even though what
Speaker 1: he said, like when you actually looked at the words
Speaker 1: on Kaper, you like, he actually didn't fucking say anything.
Speaker 1: But and that is the thing what people don't understand.
Speaker 1: People like, oh, ship, this guy's spitting straight facts. I'm like,
Speaker 1: he just talked in a circle for three minutes. But
Speaker 1: you know, I still remember when Trump basically just called
Speaker 1: Carly Fury, you know, ugly on a on a on
Speaker 1: a debate and had that one sound bite that I
Speaker 1: where she was like, I think the American people hear
Speaker 1: him loud and clear, and everyone applauded. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I guess you got him. Cut to a day later
Speaker 1: like Trump is doing better than ever. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: Americans really hate women. This is crazy. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we all all learn that. In just to kind of
Speaker 1: complete the rundown of like where he's at these days,
Speaker 1: post his being challenged on his bullshit medical advice in Congress.
Speaker 1: He has, during the pandemic, advocated reopening schools in April,
Speaker 1: which you may remember as being entirely too early to
Speaker 1: do that, but he said that it would only kill
Speaker 1: an extra two to three percent of kids, which is
Speaker 1: and that's just from the mass shootings, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: He's been in a vocal advocate for hydroxychloric quin I'm
Speaker 1: Fox News. He has supported the COVID vaccine, but mostly
Speaker 1: it's to give Trump credit for inventing and r NA vaccines,
Speaker 1: which actually date back to the sixties. In a statement,
Speaker 1: he said, although we had some moments of brilliance, such
Speaker 1: as the gifts to the world of mr NA vaccines
Speaker 1: made possible by President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed, and
Speaker 1: then he's had on his show antivactor guests like Joe
Speaker 1: Mercola and Robert Kennedy Jr. So he's a big part
Speaker 1: of the cause of the mess we're in. He's not
Speaker 1: a solution to it, but you know, he's going to
Speaker 1: probably be pretty successful at pitching himself as a solution
Speaker 1: because TV we'll see God, I mean, it's people have
Speaker 1: already come on and be like, we're gonna put the
Speaker 1: smash on him. I forget who he's running against, but
Speaker 1: there's people are pretty motivated against him. But hey, that's
Speaker 1: the thing about TV. That's what we'll see the strength
Speaker 1: of his celebrity in that race. Yeah, we we all
Speaker 1: made the mistake of saying that Trump will be out
Speaker 1: next week. I mean after Trump. Really, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: One it is weird. Who is you know? Was his
Speaker 1: anti factors? Like, you're like Eric Clapton, what the hell
Speaker 1: I missed the good old days when the worst thing
Speaker 1: he did was was just steal his best friend's wife, right,
Speaker 1: But but it's crazy that you're like, that's just his Twitter.
Speaker 1: It's just like a rock legend being like this is
Speaker 1: this is like the Holocaust right now? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: What the hell? Yeah, I mean I still love Layelah,
Speaker 1: but this is this is brutal. Damn Old loves He's
Speaker 1: not gonna sound the same. Have you guys watched the
Speaker 1: Beatles documentary at all? I watched. I watched about the
Speaker 1: first hour or so. Yeah, it's tough. It's like it's
Speaker 1: kind of because it's like it's amazing, but it's also
Speaker 1: you're like it's like a podcast. Yeah, it's a little yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little tough. I love Peter Jackson. I love
Speaker 1: what he did with that with that war movie he
Speaker 1: made that was incredible. But the Lord of the Rings
Speaker 1: what was the name? The incredible incredibly Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: he's so talented, but it's just interesting the to he
Speaker 1: like George Harrison is like so just openly like insecure,
Speaker 1: it's really amazing. He's like Clapton is really good, like
Speaker 1: and then like Clapton stole his wife later, like that's
Speaker 1: I love George so much to it so like he
Speaker 1: realized how good George will. I mean, it's like crazy
Speaker 1: that he was like their third option. It's it's like
Speaker 1: it is like it is like Clay Thompson on The Warriors,
Speaker 1: where you're like, this is not fair. Yeah yeah, wait
Speaker 1: he's about to come off the bench. What's this he missed?
Speaker 1: He made eighteen straight threes in practice. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of people are like this, this is like giving. Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney is like do and like he's definitely like you
Speaker 1: you see, he's like a songwriting genius. But it also
Speaker 1: has made me not like because of like how he
Speaker 1: treats like George and Ringo. He's just like so fucking
Speaker 1: dismissive of them. He's just yeah, I mean, we could
Speaker 1: probably like get a different drummer in here, right, poor Ringo. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk about some bullshit. And we're back. And it's
Speaker 1: that time of year once again. The Global Drug Survey
Speaker 1: that pulls people around the world about their substance consumption,
Speaker 1: otherwise known as the annual Get Fucked Up Awards. Where
Speaker 1: where's everybody coming in? Well, you know, this is like
Speaker 1: a survey of just all over you know, many countries.
Speaker 1: I think in total, something like thirty some thousand people
Speaker 1: participated in this survey. And even they say, they're like, look,
Speaker 1: this isn't to say that this is exactly what's happening
Speaker 1: in every single country, But more so, we're trying to
Speaker 1: get a sort of general idea of how consumption habits
Speaker 1: may have increased or decrease since the pandemic. I just
Speaker 1: want to start off with like when they talk to
Speaker 1: some of the people, or like when they talk to
Speaker 1: the people they're pulling, when they translate their like responses
Speaker 1: into English and things like that that. Look, what the
Speaker 1: thing they had to do is sort of write about
Speaker 1: just what they were feeling or what the situation had
Speaker 1: felt like with words and this world cloud, this word
Speaker 1: cloud that they developed from all these answers, the biggest
Speaker 1: ones are shit, fucked stressful. So those are the top
Speaker 1: three things that people were feeling as they you know,
Speaker 1: took this poll, which makes sense because it's a grim time.
Speaker 1: But to get to the real ship, you know, the
Speaker 1: thing that came out of this is like, who is
Speaker 1: drinking the fucking most right now? And drumroll please, it
Speaker 1: apparently is no one is fucking with the Australians. As
Speaker 1: it turns out now when they do this survey, they
Speaker 1: found that on average, respondents from around the world got drunk.
Speaker 1: And so what they're saying is they categorize what they're
Speaker 1: asking is quote unquote drunk is quote having drunk so
Speaker 1: much that your physical and mental faculties are impaired to
Speaker 1: the point where your balanced slash speech was affected, You
Speaker 1: were unable to focus clearly on things, and that your
Speaker 1: conversation and behaviors were very obviously different to people who
Speaker 1: know you. So the global averages around fourteen point six
Speaker 1: times a year, so a little about around once a month,
Speaker 1: Aussies twenty seven point seven times a year based on
Speaker 1: this survey. Coming in behind him the Danes and the Fins,
Speaker 1: So Scandinavia also has a shout there. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: looks like Australia. They're coming in hot. They're coming in hot.
Speaker 1: So there there's another I was surprised at having spent
Speaker 1: a semester in Ireland. I was surprised that my people
Speaker 1: did not make a bigger dent here. But I I
Speaker 1: have a theory so that there's this other part of
Speaker 1: the survey about regrets, right m hm, that Irish, Polish
Speaker 1: and New Zealand respondents had the most regrets about getting drunk.
Speaker 1: So my theory that there's this um Arizona anthropologist who
Speaker 1: focused on like landfills, just digging through landfills to see
Speaker 1: like what the truth was about how much like people
Speaker 1: actually consumed of various things and supposedly just humans in
Speaker 1: general like just under report the amount of like junk food, alcohol,
Speaker 1: tobacco that they consumed by a large degree. So I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if the Irish Polish in New Zealand are the
Speaker 1: ones who were the most likely because of the regrets
Speaker 1: and just having a sense of like guilt or shame
Speaker 1: in the Irish case, shame about about how much they're drinking.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that's what's going on here, is that
Speaker 1: that's the sign of who is under report under reporting
Speaker 1: it the most. It's interesting too because like the Danes
Speaker 1: right there, they were only they they were second to
Speaker 1: the Australians, but they were also the country with the
Speaker 1: least regret Yeah bro about drinking, which I think is
Speaker 1: really interesting because that shows like like when I went
Speaker 1: to I've been to Denmark before. Her Majesty studied abroad there,
Speaker 1: and I was asking him, like, what's the vibe, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean when we were there, like people, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: getting drunk, but it didn't feel like it was getting
Speaker 1: like dark or like overly debaucherous, and it was just
Speaker 1: sort of a summer thing like yeah, people have fun.
Speaker 1: And also like you know, it's normal for like kids
Speaker 1: to have like a kid's beer around the holidays and
Speaker 1: things like that. So it's when I see that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's like a healthy like that's what
Speaker 1: we're seeing as a healthy drinking culture or people are
Speaker 1: just oblivious or like, no, man, no regrets. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen my kids in like six months. Man, bro a
Speaker 1: little Copenhagen, Like, I don't know what. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it all says. But yeah, there's there's definitely a
Speaker 1: lot to parse through here. Cocaine use was through the
Speaker 1: roof though, is that true? Yeah? Is that true? Cocaine
Speaker 1: and we do use Yeah, when all illicit drug use
Speaker 1: went up pretty significantly. Oh wow, yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: make sense, right, it's be becoming more I mean in
Speaker 1: general stigmatized. I think it's like you're also seeing like
Speaker 1: and I think what this also shows two is that
Speaker 1: there is this like just general stress that people are experiencing,
Speaker 1: and many people are turning to substances to you know,
Speaker 1: blow some steam off, whether healthily or unhealthily. Nothing like
Speaker 1: doing some cocaine to just cut through the stress. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: just just chill out this lost my gig eight ball
Speaker 1: of cocaine, Get an eight ball and invent a whole
Speaker 1: new job for me to do and become rich off
Speaker 1: of Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. Oh no, it just blows
Speaker 1: my mind. I mean, like, I think the pandemic kind
Speaker 1: of lit a fire under all of us. I mean
Speaker 1: I was drinking. I remember my girlfriend would like every
Speaker 1: could we turn into like like a young retired couple.
Speaker 1: It was like she would be like six pm every
Speaker 1: day taking weed gummies. I would be making cocktails like
Speaker 1: you know. She was in l A. I live in
Speaker 1: New York, so I was just with her, and I
Speaker 1: was like the bar really bigger and bigger. I was
Speaker 1: like Manhattan's today, Uh you know, tequila soda. It got
Speaker 1: it became a like a lifestyle thing. I'm like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: I'm I've noticed it now when I do comedy clubs,
Speaker 1: like people are more funked up than I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in a way. And I think it's because they got
Speaker 1: so used to drinking at home and they forgot how
Speaker 1: to behave out in front of the people. Again, I
Speaker 1: definitely have suffered from doesn't know how to act in
Speaker 1: public syndrome, like especially first time. First couple of times
Speaker 1: I went out, like I couldn't. I was like it
Speaker 1: was like my first time drinking ever. Yeah, I've noticed
Speaker 1: that I forgot how to clap during the pandemic. I
Speaker 1: am a classically somebody who doesn't know what to do
Speaker 1: with his hands. But like I've been at multiple events
Speaker 1: where I like find myself clapping and it's just like
Speaker 1: to just dry things like hitting each other and like
Speaker 1: not like not making the clap sound is because you're
Speaker 1: a six Ers fan. Yeah, I think that's it. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it took the spark out where I couldn't I couldn't
Speaker 1: do it anymore. Oh another thing, Psychedelic micro dosing also
Speaker 1: on the rise. Oh yeah, and they found too, bro,
Speaker 1: I could have told you that, you know. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's coming back in a big fucking way. Man, I'm
Speaker 1: too scared of that ship that like I'm I get
Speaker 1: paranoid on weed. I can't imagine mushrooms that I can't
Speaker 1: imagine the next level. So that's the I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that's the I think that's why. Specifically micro dosing
Speaker 1: is like the key word there. You know, like if
Speaker 1: you've ever done most people, if they've ever done mushrooms
Speaker 1: or something like you're you know, in college or high school,
Speaker 1: typically you're taking an overdose, like a macro dose of
Speaker 1: mushroom like psilocybin, where typically like for it to be
Speaker 1: a micro dose in the sort of traditional sense, like
Speaker 1: you're trying to do it but just below perceptual thresholds.
Speaker 1: So it's not really to the point where like, oh funk, man,
Speaker 1: I think I'm getting like fucking starting to see ship.
Speaker 1: It's more that there's just that little bit of introducing
Speaker 1: it into your system that kind of I think gives
Speaker 1: like sort of the analogy is sort of like you
Speaker 1: go from a closed fist to like an open palm,
Speaker 1: and that's the difference internally for you know, people who
Speaker 1: have dialed in proper, proper tresurement of micro dosing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can definitely say, you know, when I was drinking.
Speaker 1: First of all, the pandemic would have been very, very
Speaker 1: bad for me if I was still drinking. And second
Speaker 1: of all, I would have taken issue with their with
Speaker 1: their definition having drunk so much that your physical and
Speaker 1: mental faculties are impaired to the point where your balance,
Speaker 1: speech was affected, you were unable to focus clear like
Speaker 1: I would have been like, no, that's not mean, man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually clear right when I got a couple
Speaker 1: when I got a couple of drinks in me. So
Speaker 1: I would have also lied on this survey and also
Speaker 1: been lying to myself. And I'm a better convenient when
Speaker 1: I'm drunk, I'm fun. Oh yeah, they're like, no seeing
Speaker 1: the behaviors have to be different or from people that
Speaker 1: know me, I have to be appear to be different.
Speaker 1: No kind of knows how I get down. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think I really have gotten drunk. Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: they only know me as the cool me who's fucking hammered. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I yeah, shout out to anyone out there who's who's
Speaker 1: uh struggling with it though? You know, yeah, there's there's

Speaker 1: and like all Dirty Art Club tracks, I just love
Speaker 1: the aesthetic of his work. It's very obviously, very sample heavy,
Speaker 1: but reconstructed in a way that gives us some just
Speaker 1: edge to it. And this track specifically sound was like
Speaker 1: the opening credits of like an Italian soap opera. But
Speaker 1: if you were like on acid and why trying to
Speaker 1: watch a TV so shout out to Evermore by Dirty
