Speaker 1: So yeah, shout out, okay, baby, what's up? The smoke
Speaker 1: detectors on? It's beeping? All right? Also, I'll change the
Speaker 1: batteries later, thanks buddy. So we've gone from a second
Speaker 1: rate tickto a second rate podcast to a weird, shady
Speaker 1: TikTok video that has a fire a detector beeping every
Speaker 1: couple of seconds in the background. We're talking about how
Speaker 1: international banking is flawed. That's right, that's right. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I'm on so many meetings where people have had the
Speaker 1: smoke detector alarm going off for like weeks, just the same,
Speaker 1: and I've given them, you know, tips on how to
Speaker 1: change it. Because we have all our batteries dying at
Speaker 1: the same time and was going off. Because it was
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and I was sleeping, I
Speaker 1: thought it was the alarm and called the alarm company
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't turn it off, and
Speaker 1: they're like, man, it's not going off. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm in the house. It's going off the house. We're like,
Speaker 1: we don't know what's not going off at least for
Speaker 1: five minutes to interesting that Okay, this might be on me. Oh,
Speaker 1: I should apologize that alarm company. Nah, We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the tragedy at the Waukasha Christmas Parade. We're talking
Speaker 1: about fentinal fearmongering continuing, but we're talking about the Dallas
Speaker 1: Q and On group, which is now just it's taking
Speaker 1: over people's lives. It's kind of, I don't know, interesting,
Speaker 1: getting just trying to say we're the rhetorics definitely starting
Speaker 1: to change a little bit here. We're talking about Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey's hypothetical governor's race. He is in the lead, so
Speaker 1: that's pretty well. And we're also gonna check in with
Speaker 1: streaming numbers. You know. Seinfeld made its debut on Netflix,
Speaker 1: and it's not really lightening up the charts. So I
Speaker 1: just wanna ask, you know, what, what do we think
Speaker 1: is going on there? And also get some miles of
Speaker 1: Gray Simefeld impressions, because you know, it's a holiday and
Speaker 1: I'm treating myself all that plenty more. But first, I
Speaker 1: legitimately did cheehorn that story before we get to any
Speaker 1: of that ship though, Uh, let me go a cruise
Speaker 1: the high school, real quick, Sophia, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? Okay? So I went to Portugal and
Speaker 1: I was which was the first time I knew that
Speaker 1: that is how you pronounce it, and Lisbon right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And apparently Lisbon right you in front of our hotel
Speaker 1: was of Luish Decamo, and I'm sorry if I butchered it.
Speaker 1: I'm doing my fucking best. But he is Portugal Shakespeare.
Speaker 1: And I never heard his name, because of course why
Speaker 1: would I. In America, you learn about like four authors
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, maybe one book per so
Speaker 1: I have never heard of him. And they said that
Speaker 1: his influence on the language was so profound that they
Speaker 1: call it the language of Como. Is that a flex? Imagine? Flex? Yeah? Imagine?
Speaker 1: How about you is that. I feel like that's similar
Speaker 1: to Shakespeare, right, didn't he invent like a bunch of words. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying maybe we should be saying Shakespeare
Speaker 1: is like commotion. The Yeah, the English language is commotion. Okay,
Speaker 1: well this commotion for what all? I'm gonna CBS. So
Speaker 1: I want I want to uh Liz Boa Lish Boa
Speaker 1: a number of years ago, and I really loved it
Speaker 1: was very beautiful. The language sounded silly to me, and
Speaker 1: I feel I don't know if that's problematic to say,
Speaker 1: but it just sounded like there's like a bounty, like
Speaker 1: bounty nous to it, and also like some silly syllables
Speaker 1: that always come back, So you know what's hilarious to
Speaker 1: me about that? And very insulting that it sounds exactly
Speaker 1: like Russian but without being at all similar. So you
Speaker 1: constantly feel like you're being gas lit and you're like,
Speaker 1: are you speaking Russian? And all the inflections are the
Speaker 1: same and the sounds repeat, but it's not, And then
Speaker 1: I you're hearing Russian through a wall or something. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was like it's like hearing Russian, but I suddenly
Speaker 1: no longer understand it. Sure, such a fuck. And so
Speaker 1: I was talking to a Portuguese person about it and
Speaker 1: they said, I said, do you guys feel like that
Speaker 1: when you hear Russian? And he was like, yes, I always.
Speaker 1: I think I should understand too, but I don't have
Speaker 1: no idea what any of y'all are talking about. So
Speaker 1: basically just insulted to cultures. Jack always, yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: the sound of it is to my dumb American years,
Speaker 1: sounded fun Hey, this is funny. Huh, just funny. Hey,
Speaker 1: y'all talk funny? Hey man, you said, he said, peshka
Speaker 1: door luish. What come on? That's not how you say?
Speaker 1: All right, you wanna put some stink on it? Let
Speaker 1: me get my shandwich without much? What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Okay? So I ate so much fucking
Speaker 1: seafood when I was in that I am literally, I'm
Speaker 1: literally miles after he came back from Italy, and I
Speaker 1: have to tell you that lobster is fucking overrated. And
Speaker 1: I've always thought this, but it was confirmed when I
Speaker 1: had so many different kinds of seafood in a week.
Speaker 1: What are we looking at? We're looking at even? I mean,
Speaker 1: I would take a biggest prawn over that I would
Speaker 1: take a crab over that, Like, how are we not
Speaker 1: putting crab over lobster? That's ridiculous? Interesting, Like just a
Speaker 1: good solid like crab, like claw meat. Dude, I'll eat
Speaker 1: a soft shell deep fried one that they have a
Speaker 1: Japanese restaurant. I will eat any kind snow snow crab.
Speaker 1: You pull out the meat, whatever, a crab, whatever, give
Speaker 1: it for you. It's more of a personal thing. You
Speaker 1: just hate crabs and want to eat them. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a vendetta. It's a delicious vendetta. Or not sucking hermit
Speaker 1: crabs fucking suck that thing out of the shell. What
Speaker 1: was the most like remarkable thing that you had when
Speaker 1: you're out there, like a thing that you're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: what the what have I been? Why have I not
Speaker 1: been doing this? Okay, I've never had the fish turbit.
Speaker 1: Do you pronounce the tea? Is it turbot? It's turbot turbit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been pronouncing it wrong my entire list.
Speaker 1: Just that I'm glad we're learning together because I felt
Speaker 1: dumb and now I feel that we're all in it
Speaker 1: in turbit together. I've been saying robot all wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually the best silent. It's just rude, rude, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's like a really flat bottom feeder fish and
Speaker 1: it has like almost no bones, so it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no bones and it's all like fatty and delicious.
Speaker 1: And when they grilled it, I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Okay, that sounds really good. And you know, lobster.
Speaker 1: We're never just halfway on lobster. We're either it's either
Speaker 1: sea bugs that we feed the prisoners or it's the
Speaker 1: famous yeah, the richest. The thing is, it's mostly just
Speaker 1: like grilled and frequently overgrilled, and then it's like your
Speaker 1: only options to dip it in butter and like that's
Speaker 1: fucking it. Yeah, why why are we not doing more?
Speaker 1: And it's sometimes they'll throw it in mac and cheese
Speaker 1: to just like make it like they did something. When
Speaker 1: people do that, I'm like, Okay, we get it. You
Speaker 1: got you got lobsters in your mashed potato. Not it's
Speaker 1: fun but not necessary, but you know you try. Is
Speaker 1: like whenever, like I'll go to Ralph's and sometimes will
Speaker 1: be like the like the langustine tails are like super cheap.
Speaker 1: They're like yeah, man, these ships are like four bucks,
Speaker 1: like nobody's buying them. I get him, butter poach them.
Speaker 1: Then you have something that is like you know, if
Speaker 1: you do it right, it's not overcooked and it's been
Speaker 1: poached in butter, and you don't really need to dip
Speaker 1: that ship anymore, and it's delicious, more succulent for sure
Speaker 1: then grilling and then dipping. Jerry, Jerry, I just checked
Speaker 1: done your duck and it's even a more succulent than
Speaker 1: even I could have hoped. Poppy. Please. The butter poaching,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming means you just cook it like melted butter
Speaker 1: in like a fan and then they can basically submerge
Speaker 1: it in full onlooking very low. And then you gotta
Speaker 1: keep the heat low because you don't want it to start.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to start cooking the butter.
Speaker 1: Just keep it. You ruin the whole thing if you
Speaker 1: overheat it. That's the thing. You got to be patient. Nation.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Okay, so I
Speaker 1: bought a book when I was out of town and
Speaker 1: I read it in one second, and though I brought
Speaker 1: like eight books, but so this book is so fucking
Speaker 1: underrated because I want everyone to read it and talk
Speaker 1: to me about it. It's called Fashion Victims The Dangers
Speaker 1: of Dress Past and Present by Alison Matthews. David Alison,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hollerate you on Twitter. This book is as
Speaker 1: good as hell. It is illustrated and about all the
Speaker 1: different like poisonous ways that we have made clothing and
Speaker 1: the way that it used to kill people. So in
Speaker 1: an interesting way, it is both about history and labor
Speaker 1: politics and like um capitalism and fashion and crazy macab
Speaker 1: deaths like Ballerina's being set on fire by their outfits,
Speaker 1: no one giving a flying fuck. Girls that made like
Speaker 1: green fake flowers getting poisoned by the green people making hats,
Speaker 1: getting crazy from the hats. You know. Yeah, but like forever,
Speaker 1: people are like publishing articles and being like yo, these
Speaker 1: people are dying, and they're like, nah, it's cool. These
Speaker 1: hats are cool. Though. Then there was a fashion where
Speaker 1: they killed whole last birds and put them on hats,
Speaker 1: a whole last dermied bird. They literally killed so many
Speaker 1: that a bunch of those songbirds went extinct. We just
Speaker 1: wanted them on to fucking have how insane I love itself?
Speaker 1: And because what the was the mad hatters because they
Speaker 1: were using mercury. Right, I loved to throw some mercury
Speaker 1: on some ship. This wasn't even that. It's like tanning solution.
Speaker 1: Oh that that's not like the mad Is that because
Speaker 1: Matt is a Hatterard was like, that's like from the
Speaker 1: UK right of Like, no, this is all the same thing.
Speaker 1: But I think the story wasn't about got it, got it.
Speaker 1: The solutions changed, but stayed poison is peak mercury use.
Speaker 1: Oh and then shoot shot polish like people would polish
Speaker 1: their shoes, go out dancing all night, come home and
Speaker 1: die because the shoe polish seeped through their shoes when
Speaker 1: they were sweaty and poisoned them. Yeah, it sounds like,
Speaker 1: you know, so good. And they have pictures of all
Speaker 1: the stuff that kills, that has killed you, and they're
Speaker 1: still testing all of these hats and they're like, yep,
Speaker 1: that's still tests positive for mercury. Like it's been so
Speaker 1: many fucking years and the hat will test so positive
Speaker 1: for mercury. It's enough to kill like a ton of people.
Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, you used to just wear it.
Speaker 1: And are the illustrations scattered throughout the book like when
Speaker 1: a subject comes up, there's a picture there or is
Speaker 1: it the like standard adult book thing where there's just
Speaker 1: like a center fold of a bunch of pictures. No,
Speaker 1: they're all throughout and it's so perfect and all the
Speaker 1: references for all of them are in there. It's like
Speaker 1: meticulously researched. So when they're like this is the kind
Speaker 1: of green hat that killed people, there will be a
Speaker 1: picture of the green hat, and they'll also do a
Speaker 1: thing where like this is an advertisement from that time
Speaker 1: that that is like a cartoon that shows that kind
Speaker 1: of green hat or people dying from the green hat.
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty fire. The ads like those people are liars,
Speaker 1: are green hats didn't kill no kids. That is how
Speaker 1: ads were like slandering people who are a lot of
Speaker 1: the by green hats, and a lot of them blamed
Speaker 1: the people wearing the clothes. They're like, you're a dumb bitch,
Speaker 1: and that's why you died from setting yourself on fire.
Speaker 1: So you know it was Yeah, you didn't know your
Speaker 1: ship was a soaked and kerosene to make it that
Speaker 1: nice texture that's on you. Yeah, exactly, But you're right, Miles,
Speaker 1: like the mercury thing is a big part of it.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that there's so many more terrible.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the mercury though, And then Max would
Speaker 1: be like come to bed, and I'm like, no, hold on,
Speaker 1: I have to read about these poisons real quick. I
Speaker 1: got to get back to take that hat off. It's
Speaker 1: just a baseball hats. Well, it's pretty creepy because apparently
Speaker 1: a lot of the green dye is still toxic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of stuff that you when you're
Speaker 1: reading the authors like and actually, this is still real dangerous.
Speaker 1: And we don't know where most of the cheap clothes
Speaker 1: that you buy come from or who made them or
Speaker 1: died them, so actually you could be wearing something that
Speaker 1: poisons you. Have a great day. Oh. I just want
Speaker 1: to tag on an underrated of illustrations and adult books,
Speaker 1: like not just a bunch of pictures in the middle,
Speaker 1: but like, give me some illustrations. Throughout the publishing industry,
Speaker 1: you know, they need to, like they find a happy
Speaker 1: medium between adult books and children's books. I think that's
Speaker 1: why I read a lot of historical books because like
Speaker 1: cartographic image images and like certain portraits are in there
Speaker 1: because you're like you gotta understand, like what you're looking
Speaker 1: at her, like how close this city is to this city?
Speaker 1: And I'm and I think, pardon me, is like yes, maps.
Speaker 1: And also I feel like, don't you feel like it's
Speaker 1: a treat when you get to it? And I don't
Speaker 1: want the treats to just be all in a big
Speaker 1: gass pile randomly. I wanted to be distributed some getting
Speaker 1: little treat all the time. Yeah. Otherwise, And also sometimes
Speaker 1: it ruins it for you if they put all of
Speaker 1: the pictures earlier. Sometimes you'll see a picture and I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, it's her dead husband. You're like, he
Speaker 1: fucking died. I didn't even get to that part yet,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's very true. Also,
Speaker 1: just on the mercury thing, they liked mercury so much
Speaker 1: that the way that we they liked it so much
Speaker 1: that they used to stick it up their ass when
Speaker 1: they had incontinent or rather constipation. And that's how we've
Speaker 1: been able to reconstruct Lewis and Clark's journey is because
Speaker 1: one of them was constipated and sticking mercury up their ass.
Speaker 1: So you just like go along and find the latrines.
Speaker 1: That have mercury in them, and that's where they stopped.
Speaker 1: I'll do you want better? You shove it in your
Speaker 1: dick hole yourself from syphilis. Yes, And that is what
Speaker 1: they were doing. And that is apparently one of the
Speaker 1: like myths or like theories for how they discovered that
Speaker 1: mercury helps the tanning process. That like a was pissing
Speaker 1: in the tanks because you're in like does does stuff,
Speaker 1: and because he was treated for work for syphilis, that
Speaker 1: his process like worked a lot better than other people's,
Speaker 1: so they deduced it. That's like one theory. They're like,
Speaker 1: damn yeh, John's dirty dick is making good as man
Speaker 1: if you try. Regie's so soft. What's your secret? Man,
Speaker 1: I got syphilis slowly going insane? Okay, thanks, And it's
Speaker 1: it's probably just because like it looked cool, right, it
Speaker 1: looks like liquids, Like it looks like the from like
Speaker 1: ten there two. So like they were just like, well,
Speaker 1: that ship must like be good for something. Let's keep
Speaker 1: it around and try it and rub it on everything. Man,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about the news. And we're back. And
Speaker 1: so there was a tragedy you've probably heard about at
Speaker 1: the Walkershaw Christmas Parade where somebody drove into a crowd
Speaker 1: of people. Five people died. The thirty nine year old
Speaker 1: man who was driving the car has been arrested, and
Speaker 1: this has been turned into racism fodder. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think just general progressive pushed back on anything like the
Speaker 1: the right and you know, Nazis whoever you're looking at,
Speaker 1: has found a way in to turn this tragedy into
Speaker 1: you know, whatever they're looking for it to be. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think the thing that a lot of
Speaker 1: conservatives are holding onto is the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: this guy had This guy, Darryl Brooks, had an extensive record,
Speaker 1: and he was recently arrested for allegedly running over somebody
Speaker 1: during a domestic dispute, and then he was released on
Speaker 1: a thousand dollar bail two days before the parade incident.
Speaker 1: And that whole thing of like this guy got out
Speaker 1: two days before on a thousand dollars bail for like
Speaker 1: a violent thing. Already they're saying, now this has to
Speaker 1: be a whole issue that we need to now be
Speaker 1: looking at bail reform, and how bail reform is terrible
Speaker 1: and how there's no need to ever make bail more
Speaker 1: humane or not just a thing that you know, makes
Speaker 1: it so rich people can get out of the jail easy,
Speaker 1: and if you don't have money, then it could completely
Speaker 1: destroy your life. And you know, I think the d
Speaker 1: A in Milwaukee, you know, his like sort of progressive
Speaker 1: policies have basically come under attack as as a result
Speaker 1: of this, or just looking at anything that has been
Speaker 1: slightly forward looking as being like, we need to look
Speaker 1: into this d A man because he's tied. Someone said
Speaker 1: he was tied to George Soros like one post kind
Speaker 1: of ship. Yeah, of course it has to be. You know,
Speaker 1: let's also raise the specter of anti semitism as well,
Speaker 1: to tie this all in and saying that, like we
Speaker 1: also look into like all of their progressive connections, like
Speaker 1: what's going on? Like do we need to completely you
Speaker 1: think all of this? The d A himself said that
Speaker 1: the bail amount was inappropriately low, Like he was like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know that there truly needs to be
Speaker 1: an investigation into why this person who was committing a
Speaker 1: violent crime had had such a low bail amount Like
Speaker 1: that I definitely see. But the thing is this guy Edwards.
Speaker 1: He wasn't released as part of like a program that
Speaker 1: you know, this DA had put in place, which was
Speaker 1: to find alternatives to cash bail for non violent offenders.
Speaker 1: This guy wasn't part of it. So this was some
Speaker 1: kind of oversight legitimately occurred because yeah, I don't I
Speaker 1: can't see how you are committing a violent crime. And
Speaker 1: then it's like, you know, if you're trying to get
Speaker 1: out very quickly, sure like there maybe you want some
Speaker 1: safeguards to protect the general public, like in this case
Speaker 1: it would have been something absolutely necessary. But then on
Speaker 1: the other side, you also have racists who are now
Speaker 1: using this to say this was a response to the
Speaker 1: cole Rittenhouse verdict and this was anti white domestic terrorism.
Speaker 1: And you have a lot of like accelerationists, like on
Speaker 1: telegram and stuff starting to put like you know, swastikas remembers,
Speaker 1: like with the stuff that's saying like remember Waukesha and
Speaker 1: like all this other ship to really try and like
Speaker 1: stoke those flames to you know, create more racial violence.
Speaker 1: Those are the first people to be like, whoa, you
Speaker 1: just politicized the oscars right right when someone like says
Speaker 1: the mildest thing that's their opinion at an award show,
Speaker 1: like whoa politics doesn't belong here, and then this kind
Speaker 1: of thing happens and then you immediately like exploited for
Speaker 1: your own fucking gain. He had just committed a violent
Speaker 1: act two days ago with with a car. He was
Speaker 1: on November five, and he wasn't He was arrested and
Speaker 1: released like that. That happens a little bit closer to
Speaker 1: the way, so well before any written house verdict and
Speaker 1: any of the bullshit that they're claiming. I mean, the
Speaker 1: police are saying that he had just left the scene
Speaker 1: of a domestic disturbance and was not acting fleeing on
Speaker 1: any terrorist influence or organization, but was in some sort
Speaker 1: of disturbed pays. Yeah, and yeah the cops even like, no,
Speaker 1: this we're not saying this was an accident like you know,
Speaker 1: like some elderly person lost control, Like no, like this
Speaker 1: guy was trying to go. He didn't give a funky
Speaker 1: plow emote these people down. But to then say that
Speaker 1: this was connected to the other, like that's there, Like
Speaker 1: as we see it, it was this person fleeing and
Speaker 1: just did whatever the fun they're we gonna do. But yeah,
Speaker 1: all that to say, is this is now just created
Speaker 1: another you know inflection point for both you know, people
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill or in political commentary spheres and just
Speaker 1: finally extremists to try and create some more hatred and
Speaker 1: you know, fucking anger when we can really use less. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I also think people are a little bit like
Speaker 1: the holidays are coming, and I think instead of everyone
Speaker 1: just being like frustrated with the way that the government
Speaker 1: has handled ships so that most people are like poorer
Speaker 1: than ever heading into the holiday season or feeling the
Speaker 1: pressure of that, instead it's giving them like this weird
Speaker 1: little straw man to like focus on, and it's like, oh, like,
Speaker 1: why don't we talk about how angry you are about
Speaker 1: this instead of about the really like big issues. And
Speaker 1: I also think like it's I try to google frequently
Speaker 1: whenever someone says something causes something that is very frequently
Speaker 1: the timing is alive if you're being sold that it's
Speaker 1: like those famous you know, all those interviews where they
Speaker 1: would ask like, uh, people who would say that Obama
Speaker 1: was responsible for nine eleven do you think he was?
Speaker 1: When was he president? People knew he was going to
Speaker 1: be That's why they did it. Yeah, just like that
Speaker 1: you know, when people are like, oh, actually, you know,
Speaker 1: he was not even and yeah, that's why I think
Speaker 1: to these people aren't even focused on like the tragedy
Speaker 1: of these five people that died menu were in this
Speaker 1: group called the Dancing Granny's. It's more just like it's
Speaker 1: not to give a funk about that. Go straight to
Speaker 1: the part where I can use this to keep bail,
Speaker 1: like keep the cash bail system and make that like
Speaker 1: drawn completely dial the time back on any progress that's
Speaker 1: made on that, or if you're a neo Nazi accelerationist,
Speaker 1: you're saying, I don't care about the people that died.
Speaker 1: I'm going to use this to try and create more
Speaker 1: like you know, racial animus, to hopefully direct that towards
Speaker 1: my worldview and get some people, do you know, jump
Speaker 1: on into the fray. So yeah, it's just a you know,
Speaker 1: just stuff, really funked up incident. But this is I
Speaker 1: think this is this is truly now like as we're
Speaker 1: talking about like backsliding democracies, like there's there's always gonna
Speaker 1: be and something that's going to happen that will always
Speaker 1: be the all people always find a way to like
Speaker 1: truly use it to justify whatever fascist ideas they have,
Speaker 1: or to just help progress completely. Yeah. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when that guy drove into the farmer's market in Santa Monica. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that old guy, right, Yeah, that wasn't necessarily was that
Speaker 1: that person trying to do it intentionally? I thought it
Speaker 1: was like he had lost control, like in a panic,
Speaker 1: just kept like driving. That's what I think it was.
Speaker 1: I think it was an old person panicking after it
Speaker 1: started happening and making it worse is Yeah. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: something that actually, like people losing control of the car,
Speaker 1: mistaking the break for for the gas or the gas
Speaker 1: for the break is something that is more common than
Speaker 1: people realize that. It's what was happening with those like
Speaker 1: out of control Toyota cars where it was they couldn't
Speaker 1: figure out like why these things were accelerating out of control.
Speaker 1: The people thought they were stopping on the break. They
Speaker 1: were stopping on the gas. Like that's what the computers
Speaker 1: and inside the car show. It's just an honest mistake
Speaker 1: that can happen, and that like people in a panic
Speaker 1: just sort of double down on the first mistake they're
Speaker 1: making and keep like stomping on on the gas. Think
Speaker 1: against the break, especially like if you're in a new car,
Speaker 1: it tends to happen more if you're in a new car,
Speaker 1: and if you're smaller than the person who had been
Speaker 1: driving it before, like that's when it tends to happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that he that, Yeah, he claimed he would matched the
Speaker 1: accelerator instead of the break. Yeah, and this apparently, like
Speaker 1: I think this there in this article are time about
Speaker 1: there was a there was footage of him in a
Speaker 1: previous accident that was very similar, and like that sort
Speaker 1: of kicked off this whole debate of like do we
Speaker 1: like we need to actually be careful about like the
Speaker 1: states some people are in when they get behind the
Speaker 1: wheel of a car. But yeah, one that just you know,
Speaker 1: the today the a mod are Very trial is going
Speaker 1: to jury deliberation. So I mean it's just I'm again
Speaker 1: this is this is a story that we've covered before,
Speaker 1: but the jury is eleven white people one black jurer.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors accused the defense of striking eight lecturers from being
Speaker 1: selected Sully because of their race. The defense claimed the
Speaker 1: jurors had already formed strong opinions about the events that
Speaker 1: led to Harbury's death, which again was somebody being chased
Speaker 1: down and shot with the shotgun for their race, so
Speaker 1: that was disqualifying them having heard of that happening in
Speaker 1: their community. But the judge found what he called intentional
Speaker 1: discrimination while reviewing the prosecutor's objection, but said he ultimately
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything since the defense put forth legitimate, non
Speaker 1: race related reasons for So it's it's just another example
Speaker 1: where we're seeing in a courtroom a judge be like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's out of my hands here, like just using these
Speaker 1: like little selective like you know, close up views of
Speaker 1: the law to just tilt things in the direction of
Speaker 1: a white defendant or three white defendants. A judge is
Speaker 1: able to be like, no, they were legitimate, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of non biased reasons that they gave. Because they're
Speaker 1: still in a courtroom, people treat racism like it doesn't exist,
Speaker 1: like so much time about sucking Narnia and they're like,
Speaker 1: what do you think happened? Oh, I think this was racism.
Speaker 1: They're like, did you hear that this motherfucker believe in Narnia?
Speaker 1: Get him the funk real folks. Yeah, and this is
Speaker 1: a trial that fucking completely hinges on racism, right, And yeah,
Speaker 1: to be able to just say that they were if
Speaker 1: they've already they already came to their very very biased
Speaker 1: conclusion based on their terribly misinformed worldview. Be terrible to
Speaker 1: have them here. We're looking for people who are so
Speaker 1: ignorant they don't know what's going on, and then we
Speaker 1: can hopefully, you know, nudge them in a direction. Over
Speaker 1: the course of the trial the closing arguments, the defense
Speaker 1: commented on our Very's long, dirty toenails, he was wearing
Speaker 1: sneakers at the time of the crime, that you know,
Speaker 1: that's not the point though. The point is that this
Speaker 1: is the South, and police in this part of the
Speaker 1: country we were invented to, you know, as slave patrol,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to like use these this imagery to
Speaker 1: like appeal to the biases of a white Southern jury.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know, Just to reiterate, the killer
Speaker 1: was heard to have uttered a racial slur after murdering
Speaker 1: mod are Very according to one of his fellow defendants,
Speaker 1: not like according to some. According to one of his
Speaker 1: fellow defendants, the theft they claimed they suspected him for
Speaker 1: I was later found to be committed by a white couple.
Speaker 1: They chased him in a pickup truck, pulled a gun
Speaker 1: on him and are claiming the murder was self defense.
Speaker 1: So that's and and people are like, it's a fucking
Speaker 1: it's a it's a coin toss. It's like how how
Speaker 1: how how you chase someone in a truck and then
Speaker 1: when you hopped out with guns and they were unarmed
Speaker 1: that you defended yourself with like lethal But again, that's
Speaker 1: what because unfortunately you say things like this seemed like,
Speaker 1: you know, to anyone just looking at it, you're like,
Speaker 1: this looks like people chasing someone down and killing them. Like,
Speaker 1: even if I don't know the context, that's what this
Speaker 1: looks like. But you know, you have you have the
Speaker 1: slightest bit of ability to recognize the situation like that
Speaker 1: is having some kind of racial animus, then you're the problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and let's check in with the Dallas Q and ON
Speaker 1: group real quick. So you know, they went down to
Speaker 1: Dallas for Trump's coronation, which we all remember was a
Speaker 1: great event. It was great, wasn't it. Yeah, So the
Speaker 1: Rolling Stones concert, actually it never happened, but people are
Speaker 1: staying there and despite the predictions of Michael Brian Protsman,
Speaker 1: who he was the he was the guy who reported
Speaker 1: from the Rolling Stones concert that like Prince so that
Speaker 1: despite everything he said turning out to be nonsense, people
Speaker 1: are doubling down on waiting for his predictions to become reality,
Speaker 1: and family members of the people who went down there
Speaker 1: are very concerned. Yeah, there's a Vice article or they're
Speaker 1: like people are straight up being like, yo, my sister's
Speaker 1: completely lost it like she's not she's left her kids
Speaker 1: behind or other people like you know this. One person
Speaker 1: said at like requesting anonymity, said quote, I'm very worried
Speaker 1: about her safety. We don't know if she's given him
Speaker 1: any money, meaning Michael Brian Prattsman, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people have apparently been just handing over cash to him.
Speaker 1: But her husband is about to cancel her cards. She's
Speaker 1: blowing through their money fast. There's another one where this
Speaker 1: like I said, this woman's sister, she said her this
Speaker 1: woman's sister so far handed about two thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: the group and it's being forced to drink hydrogen peroxide
Speaker 1: solution and take quote bio pellets to ward off COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: Her phone calls and messages are also being monitored. She
Speaker 1: left her children for this and doesn't even care she's
Speaker 1: missing birthdays and holidays for this. She truly believes this
Speaker 1: is all real and we are all the crazy ones
Speaker 1: for trying to get her to come home, but she won't.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people like, we don't believe she'll
Speaker 1: ever come back, and we're now warning her. So this
Speaker 1: is you know, it's always had this very cult like exterior,
Speaker 1: and now you're starting to hear like, oh wow, they're
Speaker 1: isolated people like they're monitoring your calls. They're like, there's
Speaker 1: also there's some infrastructure in place and maybe keep people
Speaker 1: and you know, for this very specific group of Q followers,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of in line or in check. And
Speaker 1: the other thing is, like people have noticed in some
Speaker 1: of these telegram channels there there was like talk from
Speaker 1: members of you know and in sort of debating like
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? What's the truth? Like is JFK
Speaker 1: actually alive or dead? And it's Trump really the president.
Speaker 1: Some people were saying, like using the words that we
Speaker 1: need to experience a physical death in order to learn
Speaker 1: the ultimate truth of all of this. And another another
Speaker 1: post in a different telegram channel was like giving people
Speaker 1: directions to the site where David Koresh had his like
Speaker 1: deadly standoff with the Feds in Waco, and people are like,
Speaker 1: what the funk? Why is this? Why are people now
Speaker 1: started talking about experiencing physical death? Why is this? Like
Speaker 1: there's more Waco ship coming. I mean, that's always kind
Speaker 1: of been part of it, but the a lot of
Speaker 1: extremist researchers are like the fact that people are now
Speaker 1: uttering things like we must experience a physical death to
Speaker 1: arrive to the truth. They're really kind of you know,
Speaker 1: that's been sort of sending sounding off alarm bells, and
Speaker 1: it's it's very similar to that guy Matthew Coleman who
Speaker 1: you know, murdered his children, who was also had this
Speaker 1: sort of rhetorical shift from their q and on beliefs
Speaker 1: to this sort of other thing. And you know that
Speaker 1: FBI and Dallas has said they haven't commented on whether
Speaker 1: or not they're looking into it. And then the Dallas
Speaker 1: police are like, no, this this group is not something
Speaker 1: we're concerned with at the moment, according to them. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's such a connection between the like all
Speaker 1: of the stories, you know, because the stoking of the
Speaker 1: hate to make people more radicalized and more fringe also
Speaker 1: leads to these like cult like things, because the more
Speaker 1: entrenched you are in the fact that like everybody else
Speaker 1: doesn't see the truth quote unquote, the more the more
Speaker 1: easily you will be prey to all kind of ideology. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's all the same kind of cult like thinking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really seems there that there's like a a breaking
Speaker 1: point that people are coming to. And yeah, the the
Speaker 1: Caroline or Bueno was like these are basically the exact
Speaker 1: same spiritual religious teachings that the guy in California was
Speaker 1: getting into just before he really murdered his two young children.
Speaker 1: Like she's an expert on these, Like she pays attention
Speaker 1: and like understands the various theologies and yeah, she's like
Speaker 1: this is this is the thing. Yeah, but it's okay
Speaker 1: if Dallas police say it's not a big deal, Like
Speaker 1: it seems like they're pretty good at, you know, gauging
Speaker 1: national threats to security and just making sure they have
Speaker 1: a lockdown. So I think we should be good those
Speaker 1: funny folks down and de Plas, I mean, they're they're
Speaker 1: just in the way, if anything, once again failing to
Speaker 1: uh take a threat in deally plaus of very seriously.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back and speaking of Texas, So
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey is not announced that he's going to run
Speaker 1: for governor yet, he has expressed interest, and so people
Speaker 1: are theoretically putting out some polls to be like, if
Speaker 1: this guy ran, we love ourselves a hat famous governor
Speaker 1: and policies. Let me see that ass, Yah, work for democracy.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna work though, he won't work. That's where
Speaker 1: it draws the line. Yeah, he'll just play the bongoes naked.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Bongoes. Yeah, yeah, they they're all you know,
Speaker 1: Beto ROURKEI announced, He's like, yo, I'm getting in the ring,
Speaker 1: and people are like, okay, was just born to run, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the thing on the cover of Vanity Fair?
Speaker 1: I was just gotta be in it, man, I was
Speaker 1: just born for that one. He's like in the truck
Speaker 1: like that that that yeah, the failed Vanity Fair spread
Speaker 1: cosplaying as a real American folks folksy Texan guy. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some you know, they said, let's do some hypothetical
Speaker 1: head to heads um. First, what if Beto Rourke and
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey went head to head. Who wins to matt
Speaker 1: sent to beato and they said, okay, if he advances
Speaker 1: that round, what if it's the incumbent governor Greg Abbott
Speaker 1: running against the insurgent Matthew McConaughey, and that hypothetical runoff
Speaker 1: based on this pole And again it's very you know,
Speaker 1: loose point't even know how they did it, but it
Speaker 1: Abbot gets thirty of the vote, Matthew McConaughey gets forty
Speaker 1: percent of the vote, he would be eight points ahead.
Speaker 1: And that's just a very that's a snapshot literally right
Speaker 1: now of probably people they just called on the phone,
Speaker 1: and who knows how serious they were, But it is
Speaker 1: interesting to see that it but oh, but like when
Speaker 1: they put all three in a three way race, but
Speaker 1: obviously that wouldn't happen because that's not how elections work. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be like a jungle primary or
Speaker 1: something like that, but in this straightforward race that in
Speaker 1: that instance, Abbott gets a plurality, so like because they
Speaker 1: would split the vote between that. But it also showed
Speaker 1: but which is interesting because you're also like, oh, but
Speaker 1: it looks like some people would go to Matt though,
Speaker 1: if it came down to Matt and Abbot. But I
Speaker 1: this is just like such a threesome is always better
Speaker 1: when you split the vote. Yeah, I totally know what
Speaker 1: you mean, But why don't you explain it to the people,
Speaker 1: just like I have tons of experience reasons, obviously I
Speaker 1: know how to rock the vote. Jack, your mustache says
Speaker 1: that it has had a ton of three ways. It
Speaker 1: does does add some character to my face that is
Speaker 1: completely unearned. It looks just soaked. It could be it
Speaker 1: could be just soaked. It look just soaked right now.
Speaker 1: I thought I cleaned it up. That's coffee, mate, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's coffee. It's coffee, mate, asshole. I drink it straight
Speaker 1: out of the bottle. I want to be in it, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just born to be in it. That was the
Speaker 1: quote on the cover of Vanity Fair that I tell
Speaker 1: me how that's not about a threesome and wanted Oh
Speaker 1: you just just outside of an orgy room exactly. You're like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you're not participating, no staring. Okay. So as stupid
Speaker 1: as this is that he would possibly run like I
Speaker 1: would probably prefer him over Abbott. Right kind of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just another It's like another American election special. You
Speaker 1: want the piece of ship or the person. You're like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather not two options, right, So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, when we've talked about some of the policies
Speaker 1: that he's articulated in the past, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's very like, he's like, yeah, man, like radicals, you
Speaker 1: gotta have your gotta have your abortions. You know, I
Speaker 1: definitely that you gotta get gotta get a bobo if
Speaker 1: you want one, and uh and that have your kids.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they want to get vaccinated, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to wait on that. That's when he starts getting
Speaker 1: a little you know who woo l a h Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well alright, right a diversity, I mean, and again,
Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger was our
Speaker 1: literal fucking governor. So what about the fucking wrestler Jesse
Speaker 1: fucking Ventura. Sh It happens, you know, Americans, Americans of
Speaker 1: a fucking nonsensical celebrity like situations, we don't care what
Speaker 1: context it's iner Like George Foreman sells grills. We're in love,
Speaker 1: like we don't care what the crossover is. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it almost feels like McConaughey's too high profile to run
Speaker 1: for governor, you know what I mean. It's like you
Speaker 1: can still be in movies like The Mother people like yeah,
Speaker 1: I not to say Shorts, I mean Shorts and Agger
Speaker 1: was very at his prime. But like in this day
Speaker 1: and age of celebrities running, I feel like we need
Speaker 1: to go like two levels below to see, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know who who that person would be, but yeah,
Speaker 1: like little Flip I wanted to. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: an all little ticket flip yachtie. Let's get it popp
Speaker 1: in Nazas, you know what I mean. Has the celebrity
Speaker 1: who's not kind of right leaning ever one, it seems
Speaker 1: like they're very successful on the right. You got your Reagans,
Speaker 1: your Ronald's Reagan, you're venture uh your Schwarzenegga. But like
Speaker 1: who who is centrist and has one? Like neo cons?
Speaker 1: I feel like neo cons reject this idea because they're
Speaker 1: not neo cons. Neo Libs reject this idea because they're
Speaker 1: all straight a students like we talked about, so they
Speaker 1: like want to believe that. Come on, man, this is
Speaker 1: serious business. You have to you have to study economics,
Speaker 1: stick to the pot, right, Yeah, I just feel like
Speaker 1: this won't go as well, but the fact that he
Speaker 1: appeals to the right as well might might make it work.
Speaker 1: But I mean, dude. Fred Thompson was also an actor.
Speaker 1: Al Frankin also frank There is Frankin's one. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Franken is the answer? All right, so let's do a
Speaker 1: quick streaming check in. Squid Game still continues to dominate
Speaker 1: on the Originals charts, but probably how a little bit
Speaker 1: of a Christie Teagan boost? Am I right? Little? Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 1: Because that's party. Yeah, I was there, damn should looked tight. Also,
Speaker 1: Jesse Venture, I think it was like Green Party or something.
Speaker 1: He's not He's not fully republic because he's always like
Speaker 1: nine or leven was done by goblins, you know, rightful,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you feel like you're like I feel like
Speaker 1: maybe libertarian or am I yeah? Maybe I just party.
Speaker 1: He was Independence Party from two thousand two thousand three,
Speaker 1: Reform Party from two thousand. He was an independent before
Speaker 1: and then from two thousand. I think all that to
Speaker 1: say opportunistic weirdo? Was he leftist, am I just like,
Speaker 1: because I was such a fucking like just eight everything
Speaker 1: that the mainstream media told me, like, is that why
Speaker 1: I think he was. I don't ever remember him being
Speaker 1: portrayed as lefty, right, not really, but I mean he
Speaker 1: I think maybe because he would be like the Bush
Speaker 1: administration is out of control, and you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I would be even more efficient. You're like, it's contextual.
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. There's way crazier people now. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not like cinema or something. No, no, no, but
Speaker 1: I mean he for the most part, he said like
Speaker 1: he's his like quote was like George W. Bush was
Speaker 1: the worst president of my lifetime. Yeah, that's that's facts. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess so iantly to that point. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: when Pierce Morgan asked him about nine eleven, he said,
Speaker 1: my theory of nine eleven is that we certainly, at
Speaker 1: the best we knew what was going to happen. They
Speaker 1: allowed it to happen to further their agenda in the
Speaker 1: Middle East and to go to these wars. That's not
Speaker 1: the very least, but that's a plausible possibility. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: But I know again, I'm sure Za Kingle tell Us
Speaker 1: and it's like none, check out this hot take on
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor and you're like, oh, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: all that to say, I don't know enough and I
Speaker 1: don't care enough. So Netflix is monitoring streaming these days
Speaker 1: and they're telling us, you know what, people are actually
Speaker 1: watching Netflix dominating the originals. Uh, it's basically on Netflix
Speaker 1: except for only Murders in the Building and Ted Lasso.
Speaker 1: Everything else in the top ten is Netflix, but on
Speaker 1: the acquired front, acquired, which is like, you know, shows
Speaker 1: that they brought over that were not original programming, they
Speaker 1: are the top ten, but they also like, so Shameless
Speaker 1: is number one, Cocoa Melon number two, in the Dark
Speaker 1: number three, I wasn't even like that didn't jog anything
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, it's the Blind Woman, got it okay?
Speaker 1: And Seinfeld at number four, which sign felt like just dropped.
Speaker 1: I think they were and the money they spent on that,
Speaker 1: they were expecting that to be like a Friends Slash
Speaker 1: the Office style like phenomenon. I think they forget that
Speaker 1: those are escapism shows and that is not. Yeah, Seinfeld
Speaker 1: is is like the world is terrible and people are
Speaker 1: selfish and like let's laugh at it. People are not
Speaker 1: ready for that, right, They're like, we want hugs. What's
Speaker 1: the show that's hugs? Lasso, thank you. I want to
Speaker 1: live in New York in jobs don't matter. Friends, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I just want to worry worry about whether Ross and
Speaker 1: Rachel are going to end up together. I don't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, worry about whether I see a lot of
Speaker 1: these selfish tendencies in myself. I mean, I think hilarious.
Speaker 1: But that's why I think Curb is like its own
Speaker 1: little world, because not everybody likes that. If it makes
Speaker 1: you look upset and nervous when that kind of stuff happens,
Speaker 1: then it's not the show for you, whereas Friends is
Speaker 1: so much more and the office so much more easily
Speaker 1: like calming. Yeah, and I feel like comfort fed with
Speaker 1: with Seinfeld, there's more. It was like more influential. First
Speaker 1: of all, like Got it was, it was more original
Speaker 1: at the time that it came out, and then now
Speaker 1: like I feel like it's influenced. First of all, obviously,
Speaker 1: Curbs like just a spiritual successor that like does a
Speaker 1: lot of the things Seinfeld did, but like in a
Speaker 1: more pure form um. But also I just feel like
Speaker 1: it was like Seinfeld was probably more influential on like
Speaker 1: the comedy writers of the world than like Friends or
Speaker 1: The Office, and so now like in the same way
Speaker 1: that like Belushi was great and super original but never
Speaker 1: really like translated to later generations because he was like
Speaker 1: so influential on like Farley and like a lot of
Speaker 1: those people that, like, I feel like people didn't really
Speaker 1: get as much. Like I wonder if Seinfeld has more
Speaker 1: thoroughly like infiltrated the culture to the point that now
Speaker 1: it feels like an earlier version of something that we've
Speaker 1: already seen like executed super well with like Arrested Development
Speaker 1: and you know shows like that that are uber despicful people.
Speaker 1: But like that's the that's the whole joke. I like
Speaker 1: that theory. I I there there's something I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, like your point about Seinfeld being like
Speaker 1: a like a comedy like for comedy people, people like
Speaker 1: it's pretty They're like, yeah, man, there's like there's the
Speaker 1: Seinfeld things are like my favorite pieces of comedy or whatever.
Speaker 1: And you understand, like so many writers do talk about
Speaker 1: the way Seinfeld was written and like the like their
Speaker 1: whole writing style especially of like making scenes of like
Speaker 1: stuffing the sausage as they called it, of like just
Speaker 1: taking the dumbest premise and just cramming as much drama
Speaker 1: into the stupidest nothing you can do to make that
Speaker 1: just load with over emphasis, and like that was sort
Speaker 1: of like the engine of it. And it's also very
Speaker 1: like improv derived, Like it's pretty much every episode is
Speaker 1: a herald because like which is like that the long form.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry everyone, Yeah, but you know it's where
Speaker 1: they said the ten poles fought far apart and then
Speaker 1: then they come together in ways that are unexpected. So
Speaker 1: you know, that's that was like a classic thing the
Speaker 1: thing that they had mentioned about the one thing is
Speaker 1: going to come back always at the end and be
Speaker 1: the thing that fox this other thing up. And I
Speaker 1: think the way that they did that consistently every episode
Speaker 1: was like pretty remarkable. Yeah, And if you're aspiring, right,
Speaker 1: I think for you know, kids that grew up in
Speaker 1: the nineties, you're like look back, You're like, damn, Like
Speaker 1: this is really like the people want to emulate that.
Speaker 1: And I feel like maybe because of that influence, like
Speaker 1: you're saying, it's it's coming back around again. For like,
Speaker 1: you know, just people to recapture their love of it,
Speaker 1: or younger people being like, oh, it's just chooky ship
Speaker 1: all the old people talking about science felt and then
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you doing? Alright, this is my
Speaker 1: this is my final place. Seinfeld himself not I don't
Speaker 1: know man, going in the same direction many older comics
Speaker 1: who like don't understand why people don't like them anymore.
Speaker 1: Like old ass old man takes very specific to the
Speaker 1: nineties with just his like style and why people don't
Speaker 1: want to hear about cereal again, right, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: you know, like this MPR article about like why it
Speaker 1: might not hit quite as hard as Friends makes the
Speaker 1: point about Mike Michael Richards, which, obviously, like his you know,
Speaker 1: racist screed on stage makes his performance harder to enjoy.
Speaker 1: But I also think, like A, I think we're giving
Speaker 1: America way too much credit. Are you fucking kidding? Sure? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what's ruining it for people. Oh no, he was
Speaker 1: racist one time, Yeah, Okay, Woody Allen and she gets
Speaker 1: to make movies. Mel Gibson out here saying I hope
Speaker 1: he gets raped by a bunch of animales. Louisa Louie
Speaker 1: and Dave Chappelle has got a Grammy knowledge. You can't
Speaker 1: touch me. Yeah, damn, don't cancel me. Recently, you can't
Speaker 1: cancel me. The show is already. We didn't cancel it.
Speaker 1: We decided to end it on our own. I've never
Speaker 1: been canceled. He's uh. Yeah. Someone recently was talking. His
Speaker 1: name was in the headlines again because another comedy was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care for him much because of his proclivity
Speaker 1: for younger women back in the day. Yeah, he dated
Speaker 1: a dated. It was called at the time, high school students,
Speaker 1: not statutory rape. Yeah, it was he hey whoa whoa
Speaker 1: publicly dad a high school student. Yeah, And they were like, look,
Speaker 1: how fun he's picking up his girlfriend at her school
Speaker 1: or whatever. You're like bringing here to Nick, Like he's
Speaker 1: grooming a minor before everyone's eyes. But because he has
Speaker 1: like a kind of a mullet, everyone's school. And then
Speaker 1: everyone was like, well, it's it makes sense. She has
Speaker 1: big titties. I was like, do you hear yourself? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Like my hearing? But yeah, she
Speaker 1: has big titties. I'm sorry, she's an adult. Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well Seinfeld, he's laughing on his gigantic piles of cash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think Steve Bannon too, that we we get
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon because of Steinfeld. Also, yeah, what what was
Speaker 1: that story again? The publisher was like, yeah, like one
Speaker 1: of the production companies that like sold the rights to it,
Speaker 1: he had a stake in it. So he got a
Speaker 1: piece of like this huge payout for like the like
Speaker 1: when I went to syndication, like mass indication, there was
Speaker 1: like some it's so he became very wealthy from his
Speaker 1: associate from his failed Hollywood career, and that gave him
Speaker 1: a lot of money. And who knows where we'd be
Speaker 1: if that didn't happen. But either way, America is gonna
Speaker 1: America with or without Steve Bannon. Yeah. As bad as
Speaker 1: the Michael Richards take that like people aren't watching it
Speaker 1: because of the racism, NPR also has the take that
Speaker 1: it's set in a shockingly white New York City and
Speaker 1: that's why people aren't enjoying it because I know they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: have you seen Friends? Aisha Tyler holds down that entire
Speaker 1: show for the entirety of time as the only black person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: simpler times, Yeah, because like what did what's the did
Speaker 1: he ever date a person of color woman of color
Speaker 1: on this show. I don't think so. I don't think so. No, Jerry, No,
Speaker 1: he would never. Mhm, he would never. Do you remember
Speaker 1: there's that one episode where Elaine thinks that the guy
Speaker 1: she's dating as a person of color and she just
Speaker 1: doesn't know what and and that guy thinks she is too,
Speaker 1: and then when they both find out that they're white,
Speaker 1: they're very disappointed and they're like, what do you want
Speaker 1: to do and goes all right, I don't know, let's
Speaker 1: go to the gap, which is the only time they
Speaker 1: address the race things the ever so, the one that
Speaker 1: ages so well, the Cigar Store Indian episode, Oh there
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, And then I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: anything else that made super any wrong with that, Like
Speaker 1: there's plenty of what about all the transphobic stuff? Friends
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, yeah, it's like he's a cross
Speaker 1: dresser and you're like and he like hated, hated. Remember
Speaker 1: the punchlines were always like I'm fucked up and the
Speaker 1: reason I can't have intimacy is it turns out my
Speaker 1: dad was fucking my piano teacher and he's a girl.
Speaker 1: That was like mm hmm. Yeah, right, brought to you
Speaker 1: by the same people who wrote the Cheers Name song
Speaker 1: that has that weird line in it. Yeah, there's like
Speaker 1: and youre's like, what is it? It's the it's the
Speaker 1: long version, like the verse that wasn't on the TV show. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was like, have I missed something from Everybody Knows
Speaker 1: Your Name? Part? Yeah? There was a if you're what
Speaker 1: that's the part they cut. It's where is it? It's
Speaker 1: like something really like a woman being a man or
Speaker 1: something like that, and that being like a point of stress.
Speaker 1: That's why I gotta go to Cheers with Friends, because
Speaker 1: I just didn't watch it for the reasons. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't see myself in this show, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep watching Wayne's Brothers or Jamie Fox Show or something
Speaker 1: like that. I remember, like her majesty, she'd be like
Speaker 1: when you know, when we were first dating, She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you don't watch Friends. I'm like nah, And she she
Speaker 1: was watching in the background once and I came in.
Speaker 1: It was one of those episodes where Kathleen Turner is
Speaker 1: playing Chandler's mom, and I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: And like and then I was just watching them just
Speaker 1: talk about it and I'm like, Yo, this is fucked up,
Speaker 1: Like what is this? Like yeah this this doesn't age
Speaker 1: well at all, And I'm like, wow, okay, but look
Speaker 1: all shows have I mean, it's wild to watch a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. I recently started watching things that were
Speaker 1: sort of like formative for me, like sitcoms just to
Speaker 1: kind of like understand, like how much I can't believe
Speaker 1: how much the Fresh Prince of Bell are like formed
Speaker 1: my entire like like mental Scape. But there's also like
Speaker 1: ones with like like you also like watch Jamie Fox
Speaker 1: Show and they're like, okay, bro, like you are you
Speaker 1: are not about consent at all. Yeah, it's just a
Speaker 1: fucking punch line the whole time, and you're like just
Speaker 1: start watching these things. You're like, wow, these were very
Speaker 1: subtle things that we were taking in. Also, we were
Speaker 1: so brainwashed that entire time. For on the Jamie Fox Show,
Speaker 1: we were cheering for Jamie Fox who just would not
Speaker 1: leave this fucking poor woman alone and like just ruined
Speaker 1: her life by sexually harassing her at work. Fancy. But
Speaker 1: then but then they're like no, and then you were
Speaker 1: down and it works out. Hey, hey, fellas, you get it.
Speaker 1: Wear them down, wear I'm down. Oh that's the word.
