Speaker 1: But all right, Beazi, we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking
Speaker 1: about today. There's bit of a labor movement going on,
Speaker 1: such as uh, you know, the strike at John Deere,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know, I don't know what's going on. Well,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna talk about all that. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about how John Deere, the white collar part of John Deere,
Speaker 1: tried to deal by um going and doing the factory jobs,
Speaker 1: just scabbing and doing the factory jobs, and just proved
Speaker 1: immediately why why they shouldn't do that. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about a nice little late capitalism news bullet about
Speaker 1: a T shirt, a grateful Dead t shirt that's sold
Speaker 1: for seventeen dollars. I'm gonna talk about the latest, the greatest,
Speaker 1: you know, contrary and Republicans just bending themselves into pretzels
Speaker 1: trying to contrary, and the Democratic Party. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Trump's very tasteful oh bit for Colin Powell and all
Speaker 1: of that, plenty more. But first, Bisa, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what's something from your search history. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about this Donald Trump tasteful oh bit Toma.
Speaker 1: I have not seen that, and I can't imagine it's tasteful.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Weird when you sometimes agree with Trump, I
Speaker 1: mean the couple parts right, and I have not I
Speaker 1: have not seen it. Well, if it's tasteful, like he
Speaker 1: didn't write it, it's not don't worry the latest thing
Speaker 1: from my searcher. Let's just see what it is that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it. This is dangerous. I know. This is
Speaker 1: what I love this the most. When people are actually
Speaker 1: doing the search history, they have prepped it. They're just
Speaker 1: like giving us the raw uncut. I wish you could
Speaker 1: do screen share so you could see if they skip
Speaker 1: something like you know what what? Well, it's funny like
Speaker 1: Google now like knows your life so well that it's
Speaker 1: not even showing me my search history and showing me
Speaker 1: like like the last documents I opened on my computer
Speaker 1: and I'm like, bro, my the latest search history is.
Speaker 1: Does Google have an Indian CEO? Someone told that Google
Speaker 1: had an Indian CEO and I didn't believe it, but
Speaker 1: I was right, Google has an Indian CEO. Wait, how
Speaker 1: come you didn't believe it because you're like, no, it's
Speaker 1: white people that have all the powerful, strong websites. I
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, there's no way in Indian,
Speaker 1: dude is that powerful? And I don't know about it?
Speaker 1: And I was like I was, I was there's no way.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I was for sure. I
Speaker 1: was for sure that I was like, Oh, he's the
Speaker 1: head of West Coast Programming, he's the he's the he's
Speaker 1: in charge of YouTube marketing or something. No, he's bro,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's the man behind the alphabet. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: then my next Google search was like who is Sundar
Speaker 1: pitch I? And I was like, I learned all about
Speaker 1: the man. What I bet it's Sundar pitch I at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. I don't know how many. I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys have Sundar. You guys have um celebrities on
Speaker 1: the show quite often and constantly. I'm always shocked at
Speaker 1: like celebrities email addresses were just their name at Gmail period,
Speaker 1: but almost always, which makes sense because they made the
Speaker 1: email before they got famous and they probably just kept
Speaker 1: it or you know, or it would be really presumptuous
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, man, I'm gonna pre pre sade
Speaker 1: my fame and do something real obscure. It's like, what's yours? Like, Oh,
Speaker 1: my name's Rick Alabasti H three And we're like, okay,
Speaker 1: John Ham, that's interesting for Gmail. That's funny that you
Speaker 1: mentioned John hamm because he is somebody. It's always he's
Speaker 1: famously just has that. Well, we will beat out what
Speaker 1: his email is just and we don't want to docks
Speaker 1: John Ham on the show. We'll just say it's very
Speaker 1: obvious when he gives that emails out that it seems
Speaker 1: like he thinks it's like a bit too music. It's
Speaker 1: actually just after he did that, after he did that once,
Speaker 1: he had to change the email. Right. It's funny because
Speaker 1: her majesty Mark partner, she's had that email. We looked
Speaker 1: at she I think it worked recently. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: try to get him into an MLM thing I was
Speaker 1: getting into, going to get into the bottom floor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ham loves ham loves am Way. Yeah, he loves urban products. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I did the am Way behind the Bastards with Robert
Speaker 1: Evans a couple of weeks back and mostly, you know,
Speaker 1: really positive feedback from people. Shockingly, how like transparent. The
Speaker 1: you can't call it, you can't legally call it a
Speaker 1: pyramid scheme, but it is a pyramid shaped multilevel marketing operation.
Speaker 1: But I did get some feedback from people being like,
Speaker 1: actually the products are really good man, Like you, My
Speaker 1: family was into it and like, I haven't been able
Speaker 1: to find like cleaning like this one product that I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna put out which one it is, but
Speaker 1: they were like, there's this one product up they nailed
Speaker 1: and the rest of the world hasn't caught up to
Speaker 1: it yet. But I won't tell you which you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to join m way. People say that about Urban two.
Speaker 1: They're like, but actually the protein powder, so that the
Speaker 1: most healthy, safest, cleanest blah blah blah blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: bah blah. And I'm like, it's like, okay, you're still
Speaker 1: you're still caping for the MLM. At that point, we're like,
Speaker 1: but this one thing, it works, grow on my hair
Speaker 1: back with it. Let somebody reach out about one of
Speaker 1: the time travelers on YouTube being like, actually, guys, like
Speaker 1: this person has some really good advice. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they're definitely definitely from the future, but they have good advice,
Speaker 1: but they're definitely right. Did you guys families ever funk
Speaker 1: with any MLMs grown up? My aunt in Japan I
Speaker 1: remember tried almost did amway, and my mom like had
Speaker 1: to be like, don't fucking do it. And then my
Speaker 1: grandparents almost over here on my black side. They got
Speaker 1: into Tahitian noni juice. Do you remember that one? I don't,
Speaker 1: but you know, because like there's always like a supplement
Speaker 1: one that comes around. There's Tahitian none juice, Like, no,
Speaker 1: this is how I keep my joints. Like you know,
Speaker 1: he was just pitching Goji berries, you know, was the
Speaker 1: other one to herbal life. But they were definitely on
Speaker 1: the They tried with the Tahitian nony but I think
Speaker 1: what happened was they bought a bunch from a friend,
Speaker 1: thought they would get in and then they just ended
Speaker 1: up giving it away to everybody in the family. Were
Speaker 1: like look at you. Look damn line, You're you're officially
Speaker 1: part of their dad line, right, my poor like immigrant
Speaker 1: family mentality. They just didn't buy anything, like we just
Speaker 1: didn't buy anything. My mom took it as a sense
Speaker 1: of the pride. She would be like, I've had these
Speaker 1: shoes for twelve years and I wear them every day,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, get some new shoes, Like get
Speaker 1: some new shoes, like no, no, no, why why they
Speaker 1: still work? Or should be like this coat is older
Speaker 1: than you and I've been wearing this coat for longer
Speaker 1: than you. And I'm like, that's not a sense of pride,
Speaker 1: like go get a new coat. But no, she she
Speaker 1: was a sense of pride for my family. So they
Speaker 1: couldn't even get caught in MLM scams because they don't
Speaker 1: buy anything, right, and if they do, it's on sale,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's the immigrant mom Olympics.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, I got this coat on sale originally
Speaker 1: from the thrift store. Yeah originally, Okay, they were sleeping
Speaker 1: on this just because that big old razor of fucking
Speaker 1: blade cut down the back of it. I can fix that.
Speaker 1: It's originally a thousand dollar coat. Got it thirteen And
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, mom, do you love it sale?
Speaker 1: My family fucked with Mela Luca for a single time.
Speaker 1: What they Mela Luca was like suddenly all our fun
Speaker 1: it's I think it's like eucalyptus is there, like key ingredient.
Speaker 1: But I just like the prime Carmelo Anthony and Prime
Speaker 1: Luca don chich Yes exactly. They teamed up to create
Speaker 1: this product line that's all cleaning ship and just for
Speaker 1: you know, a year, all our shampoo smelled like ship
Speaker 1: and then it was over. But interesting I'm reading this
Speaker 1: that the the guy who I think was around that,
Speaker 1: Frank vander Salute, also one of Mitt Romney's presidential finance chairs,
Speaker 1: met Mela Luca. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. It's all.
Speaker 1: It's all, you know, it makes sense. They're the overlapping
Speaker 1: ideology of just like scams and the Republican Party. And
Speaker 1: also he was also serves in the directors and executive
Speaker 1: board of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Give it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're not trying to America is not
Speaker 1: trying to pretend like it's not just one big scam.
Speaker 1: Like they get it. The fucking Betsy Divos is a way,
Speaker 1: is a product of the m way basil. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Okay, controversial? I feel like
Speaker 1: going out in your twenties, that all of the going
Speaker 1: out in your twenties is overrated, Like you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna have an awesome night, and then and then like
Speaker 1: as I get older, and now I don't go out,
Speaker 1: like go out anymore, you know, like go to clubs
Speaker 1: and bars anymore? Really, and I like I realized, like
Speaker 1: how over it is. I wait in line, I get dressed,
Speaker 1: especially if you're single. You go with a bunch of guys,
Speaker 1: you get embarrassed by the bounce before you get in.
Speaker 1: You spend the rat on the beer. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: like you spend eighteen dollars on a beer, you try
Speaker 1: to talk to one girl, she says no. Then you're
Speaker 1: embarrassed to talk to the rest of the rest of
Speaker 1: the night, and then you sit listen a lot of music.
Speaker 1: You can't talk. The booth sucks, you don't have a table.
Speaker 1: It just sucks. Like you go home and then you're like,
Speaker 1: that was dope, right, that was a wild night, you know.
Speaker 1: It wasn't why we stood around in a corner. Nobody danced.
Speaker 1: It was just like, yeah, and if you guys, I'm
Speaker 1: getting tired, can you go home so I could put
Speaker 1: on some joker makeup and record some TikTok's the captain
Speaker 1: right up? So what I like to do. I can
Speaker 1: shut down at the bar, I get on my joker
Speaker 1: at home. It's I just feel like I look back now,
Speaker 1: and I was reminded of this when I saw the
Speaker 1: movie Sorry to Bother You, and like, if you remember that,
Speaker 1: he goes to like this back like v I p
Speaker 1: Entrance and he has no fun and like he's sitting
Speaker 1: in the shitty booth and the drink sucks and the
Speaker 1: people are he's no fun at all. And then he
Speaker 1: comes out and like how was it? And he was
Speaker 1: like it was dope right right, And it's like that's
Speaker 1: what we're I feel like that's what we're supposed to
Speaker 1: say because we spent so much money and so much time,
Speaker 1: is so much ever doing this thing. But I feel
Speaker 1: like all of that going on in your twenties when
Speaker 1: you're in your thirties is like overrated. Wow, we gotta
Speaker 1: acknowledge you gotta you gotta cat in the background, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry the cat is going crazy because no, I
Speaker 1: have cats too, And I'm like it's it's because and
Speaker 1: I know why, because I came out the room and
Speaker 1: came right upstairs to do this podcast, so I have
Speaker 1: completely ignored her. And so she is downstairs knocking everything
Speaker 1: down off the table, like enough, it's around and ship,
Speaker 1: she's batting pets around, she's knocking computer chargers off, She's
Speaker 1: just knocking everything she can do. You think that's in
Speaker 1: the in that time though, right Like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of what the value is because I just certainly
Speaker 1: didn't learn much when I was going out. I learned
Speaker 1: what were of like my physical ability to consume like
Speaker 1: alcohol and drugs, but I wasn't like, man, I learned
Speaker 1: a lesson tonight at the club, y'all. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like just the the loud music in particular makes it
Speaker 1: impossible to communicate. And then it's just a weird It's
Speaker 1: like a weird psychological psychological experiment because you just like
Speaker 1: are purely like you can't even really think, you can't
Speaker 1: talk to other people. I think the the loud music
Speaker 1: is designed to make you just drink more. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, man. I always after a while, I just
Speaker 1: started finding places that didn't play loud. Is I have
Speaker 1: more fun? Yeah? Yeah, more fun? House party is placed,
Speaker 1: they'll play on music. I like that stuff now even.
Speaker 1: You know what's also interesting, It's like I'm not a
Speaker 1: tall guy, right, and so most men are taller than me,
Speaker 1: and then most women when they go out where heels
Speaker 1: that make them taller than me. So when I go
Speaker 1: into a place and I'm like, damn, I'm the shortest
Speaker 1: person in here, Like that's also a weird. It's not,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a great feeling. It's just like
Speaker 1: I'm like, man like, but you have more to offer
Speaker 1: than your hype, as you know, I know, but like
Speaker 1: I don't look at you and go look at that man.
Speaker 1: The world of of people in their twenties don't often
Speaker 1: care about Oh no, absolutely toxic. That's why. Like the
Speaker 1: thing about the club is like when I go, when
Speaker 1: I look back and think about what my whole vibe
Speaker 1: was in there is so performative. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I put me, I'm up being here. Yeah I'm in
Speaker 1: this section. Okay, yeah, exact spending the last three dollars
Speaker 1: on my debit card exactly like ball out and maybe overdraft.
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna tell nobody in here. My moment
Speaker 1: in my twenties in Chicago, worked at a club and
Speaker 1: he was like, he was like, do you know how
Speaker 1: many rental car keys there are in the back, like
Speaker 1: like the valet. He was like, people are renting cars
Speaker 1: for the week just to pull up, just to like
Speaker 1: pull up and like their He's like, you know, they
Speaker 1: rent a car, they go pick up, pick up their
Speaker 1: their lady, they put the thing bah bah blah boo.
Speaker 1: When it's like it's all fake They're like, why do
Speaker 1: you have that big, old chunky Hurts navigation system bolted
Speaker 1: to your dashboards? You're like, I don't know, man, I
Speaker 1: think somebody thanked me. I see my cat has been
Speaker 1: quiet now that I'm giving her attention. Yeah, what's your
Speaker 1: cat's name? This is Gianna Gigi Bryant, named after Kobe's daughter,
Speaker 1: who passed her the same week that she passed. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just you know, you have the
Speaker 1: thoughts stopping with the music, you have like everybody's just
Speaker 1: trying to behave like other people, so they're blending in.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like military training in there. Everyone is
Speaker 1: just trying to I don't mean to send and learn anything,
Speaker 1: because I learned very quickly that performative swag, vibes and
Speaker 1: ship was not for me and was actually like so
Speaker 1: empty because it kind of takes that thing where like
Speaker 1: when you're younger and you you sort of you covet
Speaker 1: the club, You're I wanna be the exactly and I
Speaker 1: can't wait to be up in it. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this ship my way. Then you go and you're like,
Speaker 1: this is fucking not for me. Kind of very quickly
Speaker 1: begin to learn. So, yeah, I learned who I was
Speaker 1: thanks to its privilege. It's amazing to like, it's amazing
Speaker 1: to like think about what I enjoy now, what I
Speaker 1: look forward to now, Like I look forward to coming
Speaker 1: home cooking the meal Washington Netflix, so that I'm looking for,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I look forward to
Speaker 1: it that I would have in my twenties. It's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go to this club that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait in line for forty five minutes in the
Speaker 1: cold before the dude less me in so that so
Speaker 1: that so I can stand in a corner and not
Speaker 1: talk to anybody. Right, Uh? What what is something that
Speaker 1: is underrated? Any grocery store, like the large grocery store
Speaker 1: chain that you have in your community, the cookies they
Speaker 1: make that are grocery store brand in the loud, clear
Speaker 1: plastic container. Is the best cookie in town? Okay? It
Speaker 1: could be Wegman's, it could be Publics, it could be Ralphs,
Speaker 1: it could be jewel Osco. You know what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about there? Like the chocolate two cookies with the Eminem's.
Speaker 1: Every grocery store and I want to know why every
Speaker 1: grocery store has the same damn cookie in that loud
Speaker 1: plastic thing, and it's so perfect. It's the best cookie. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what because I you know, when I actually go is
Speaker 1: during Halloween or Christmas, like the holiday sugar cookies. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: I love the I love that kind of grocery store cookie.
Speaker 1: And there's no brands on the cookie. It's just like
Speaker 1: the sticker from the grocery stores on it. Imagine if
Speaker 1: it's like Kroger, right, like whatever they're Kroger dough that
Speaker 1: they sell is what they're using, right, because there's no
Speaker 1: point in like, yeah, just the frozen sugar cookie. Dull. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But and I've had I've lived in Upside New York,
Speaker 1: Chicago in l A. And so that's three different groceries
Speaker 1: for says Wagman's to Jewels to like Rouse Now or whatever,
Speaker 1: and and like they all have dope ass regular grocery
Speaker 1: store brand cookies, and so does Gelson's those Whole Foods,
Speaker 1: and so it was all of them. Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: like the the icing ones? You like? You like them all?
Speaker 1: It sounds like I like them all. I do like
Speaker 1: the icing ones, but really, you know, like the like
Speaker 1: chalk chip with the Eminem's mm hmm, that's my jam.
Speaker 1: And the sugar cookies, man, Yeah, they're so good. They're
Speaker 1: better than any branded cookie because they Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like they get the sugar cookie like even the even
Speaker 1: the chocolate chips like eminem ones are just sugar cookies
Speaker 1: with chocolate chips on them, I think, And I feel
Speaker 1: like they just have the formula so that it is
Speaker 1: on the verge of just being a single sugar crystal.
Speaker 1: Like that's how sweet it is. It's just so you
Speaker 1: ever tried to open one of those boxes at like
Speaker 1: two in the morning to sneak a cookie and it's like,
Speaker 1: I know, I was just about to say, you keep
Speaker 1: talking about keep talking about how loud it is. I
Speaker 1: was like, do you live with somebody who loves you
Speaker 1: and his care and cares about your health? Because I
Speaker 1: have that same ship that resonated with me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: my kids are waking up. You can try to just
Speaker 1: go like it's almost like the quieter you try to be,
Speaker 1: the louder, the whole big cracks. You got to kind
Speaker 1: of writ the band aid off. Yeah, I got one
Speaker 1: of those things that cat burglars have that just cut
Speaker 1: a whole a circular on the side of it come
Speaker 1: to yeah, and then just reach in without touching the sides.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, you do a mission impossible dive down on
Speaker 1: this ship. Yeah, there was a meme that was saying
Speaker 1: like it was like they were it was like a
Speaker 1: squid game or ye, squid game fucking meme where they're like,
Speaker 1: for the next event, like open this without making a sound.
Speaker 1: And it was one of the cake containers you get
Speaker 1: from the grocery store, like the black base and the
Speaker 1: clear top, and it's like, open this without making an
Speaker 1: app like a single sound for the next game. I
Speaker 1: mean that is a children's game. Yeah. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk some news and we're back. And so John Deere
Speaker 1: are having they're their most profitable year ever. I think
Speaker 1: they were expected to make between five point seven and
Speaker 1: five point nine billion dollars this year, which, like you know,
Speaker 1: smashed projections. And this same year they decided to end
Speaker 1: the pension for new hires and offer workers a five
Speaker 1: or six percent raise despite the fact that they're coming
Speaker 1: off of like just a certainly profit a year, and
Speaker 1: their CEO, John May said, I may give myself a
Speaker 1: one and sixty pay increase in which put him at
Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars, which is about two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: times what John Jeers medium median employee makes. And so
Speaker 1: these these workers got together and decided to strike. And
Speaker 1: this is, uh, this is something that we're seeing. I
Speaker 1: don't know where these workers are getting this idea that
Speaker 1: they can just like you know, dictate the terms or something. Uh.
Speaker 1: The New York Times has a had a front page
Speaker 1: story where you you know, they fucked up because the
Speaker 1: headline immediately like changed from economic rebound is still waiting
Speaker 1: for workers to why workers maybe less likely to go
Speaker 1: back to where like that had to soften it to
Speaker 1: make it less like what the heck is going on
Speaker 1: with these workers? You guys were waiting on you make
Speaker 1: our money. Yeah. So the way that John Deere responded
Speaker 1: to the labor stoppage was to bring in some scabs,
Speaker 1: in particular some of their white collar employees. It which
Speaker 1: sounds like a terrible eighties comedy such yeah, like absolutely scabs,
Speaker 1: like CEO scabs, like they got the guys from corporate
Speaker 1: come into scab at a factory and like, but in
Speaker 1: the eighties version, it's about these CEOs actually learning the
Speaker 1: jobs and then by the end of it they have
Speaker 1: an appreciation for the job, but there's no like acknowledging
Speaker 1: of the workers rates. It's like, hey, and we got
Speaker 1: through that, folks, did it? Sounds like like an Adam
Speaker 1: McKay movie where here they're gonna look at you and
Speaker 1: the camera will be like, so here's what happened the worst,
Speaker 1: right right? Right? But yeah, so they went out asked
Speaker 1: these white collar employees too, in many cases by their
Speaker 1: first pair of steel toe boots. Like that's real, that's
Speaker 1: what one of them was like, we had to go
Speaker 1: out and get steel toe boots. They couldn't even provide
Speaker 1: them for the scabs. Nah. Wow, do you think this
Speaker 1: is Russia? Oh no, bro, that's fucking that's like so whacked.
Speaker 1: Like if you're gonna have corporate office people scab like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Also, you need to go buy your proper boots.
Speaker 1: You know what the fucking guidelines are to be on
Speaker 1: that floor. Also, what if mean one doesn't buy the
Speaker 1: proper boots and then it's like in there in loafers
Speaker 1: and like burns their toes off, right, and they're like, fine,
Speaker 1: I guess we can let you work, because we hold
Speaker 1: that thought because I mean, also it should be said
Speaker 1: that like a lot of these white collar workers are
Speaker 1: also not thrilled because, like they had their pension suspended
Speaker 1: two years ago, so they're they're getting treated like ship
Speaker 1: as well. But um, scab strike first, drag and then
Speaker 1: scrap striking next. So they went to the factories on
Speaker 1: gaps strike comedy. Yeah, I mean, scabs is just a
Speaker 1: good name for a comedy. I'm just like scrubs, right,
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of people scatchy, like Dan Acroid Chevy Chase,
Speaker 1: like if like doctors were unionized and then a bunch
Speaker 1: of scab doctors came in. I mean that's so Listen.
Speaker 1: The first day on Monday, they came in the white
Speaker 1: collar on experienced scabs and there was some kind of
Speaker 1: undisclosed medical emergency that required an ambulance being called, like
Speaker 1: right away, that was the first tweet I think we saw.
Speaker 1: It was an ambulance with its lights on flying to
Speaker 1: the factory that we saw from like that picket lander, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: not even a couple hours open and there's an ambo
Speaker 1: on its way. Later on that day, someone crashed a
Speaker 1: tractor into an electrical box inside inside the factory. They just, uh,
Speaker 1: like one of the strikers was like it seems like
Speaker 1: they didn't know where the front weights were, which I
Speaker 1: don't know what the funk that means, but I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to operate a factory a tractor inside a factory building.
Speaker 1: But they crashed into an electrical box which kind of
Speaker 1: destroyed electrical box. I love how the incident report like
Speaker 1: doesn't mention that it's like scabs, and that's really the
Speaker 1: problem because you know, like the incident report first has
Speaker 1: like the description, which was what it says, trailer operator,
Speaker 1: what did you say, trailer operator was pulling a eight
Speaker 1: and whatever, just talking about the actual like what happened.
Speaker 1: Then they said the direct cause trailer operator did not
Speaker 1: account for the additional length on the front weights. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they what about the part where this person was
Speaker 1: not fucking trained to operate the equipment, rather than like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the person just didn't know. Here's the corrective action. Won't
Speaker 1: be having that person operating that equipment anymore. Yeah, Jack,
Speaker 1: I have to interrupt you. Yeah, so today's obviously the
Speaker 1: first day of the NBA or but you know, yesterday
Speaker 1: was the first day the NBA. I'm getting all of
Speaker 1: my betting apps like sending me alerts like don't forget
Speaker 1: to put your team in because I do a lot
Speaker 1: of fantasy for like four to fra apps, right, so
Speaker 1: I have like prop bets on one app FanDuel, I
Speaker 1: got another one, got fantasy team right and there like
Speaker 1: don't forget to put your team in this one. This
Speaker 1: alert just came to me from an app called Underdog,
Speaker 1: where you can make prop bets, and it said last
Speaker 1: call for small ball three hours left. Sixers fans, move
Speaker 1: Simmons to the bottom of your rankings. That's the alert.
Speaker 1: He's crying base. Huh, He's gonna bite a hole in
Speaker 1: his whip right now. It's like, why you gotta call
Speaker 1: out a whole team's fan base in your app. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: It's someone from NBA Twitter's running that those out those updates.
Speaker 1: I think, I mean Sixers fans. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: the first time that a home fan base has just
Speaker 1: vigorously booed a player every time he touched the ball
Speaker 1: on their own team, Like that's this is going to
Speaker 1: be because Sixers fans are like philadel Sports fans are.
Speaker 1: I think the technical term is the worst. They're really
Speaker 1: mean to. We won't play a game Santa Clause, let
Speaker 1: alone like their own players. So, um, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play a game. He already
Speaker 1: got suspended for the first spend it for game one?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah there. The fans will have a fit anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah right, Sorry, sorry to interrupt you. I was
Speaker 1: hoping one of those NBA apps you're gonna be was
Speaker 1: like saying something about scabs like on strike. It's like, yo,
Speaker 1: no scab either, right, that's the That's the one union
Speaker 1: I would scab into if the NBA players strike and
Speaker 1: they were like they're open to people, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna go be an NBA player for it.
Speaker 1: Like a failed script or something like from the Baseball Like, uh, players,
Speaker 1: that was a movie that was replaced This wasn't it?
Speaker 1: Or were they scabbing in the replacements? Yeah, it wasn't
Speaker 1: like Keanu Reeves the scab. And then I think Unstoppable
Speaker 1: or Invincible again, Like you weren't wrong on the failed scripts,
Speaker 1: but I think they did actually get made into movies.
Speaker 1: And we're coming up with a lot of like great
Speaker 1: network TV comedies right now, just passively. So I mean overall,
Speaker 1: we might be in the midst of a grown labor
Speaker 1: movement in this country, and one that needs a political counterpart.
Speaker 1: And that's fortunate because the president right now is Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who bragged before he got into office he was gonna
Speaker 1: be the most pro union president you've ever seen. And
Speaker 1: on Friday, when asked about the John Dear strike, he stated,
Speaker 1: they have a right strike, they have a right to
Speaker 1: demand higher wages. I'm not getting into the negotiation. So
Speaker 1: and then you know, he just took a neutral dance.
Speaker 1: His press press secretary cited unspecified legal reasons why he
Speaker 1: couldn't come down on one side or the other. So no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Like well, I mean I think
Speaker 1: they would have specified a legal reason if it was
Speaker 1: true anything anything he's not neutral on. No, what's is
Speaker 1: funny too, Like I don't know why. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: can you not do that? Considering when Trump was like
Speaker 1: full on doing advertisements or like just daughters brand bags.
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, I think you can be. Like I'm
Speaker 1: sighting with the United Auto Workers treated about Toyota and
Speaker 1: they lost like eight billion dollars of value in thirty seconds. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: and then the New York Times is still you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're playing in the middle. The economic rebound is
Speaker 1: still waiting for workers. Despite school reopenings and the end
Speaker 1: of some federal eight many people are in no rush
Speaker 1: to land a job. Savings and healthy concerns are playing
Speaker 1: a role. So this is from from that article. Conservatives
Speaker 1: have blamed generous unemployment benefits for keeping people at home,
Speaker 1: but evidence from states that ended the payment early suggests
Speaker 1: that any impact was small. Progressive say companies could find
Speaker 1: workers if they paid more, but shortages aren't limited to
Speaker 1: low wage industries. So in a story where people are
Speaker 1: saying they're not being paid to return to work, they're
Speaker 1: not being paid enough to return to work, and employers
Speaker 1: are refusing to pay more, their explanation is, well, it
Speaker 1: can't be that they're not being paid enough, because some
Speaker 1: of the jobs that are empty pay more than some
Speaker 1: of the jobs some of the other jobs that are empty.
Speaker 1: So they're trying not to answer the question with the
Speaker 1: obvious answer and just resorting to logic. Or you know,
Speaker 1: if you're a journalist, right and you're trying to help
Speaker 1: a reader, understand the situation of the dynamics that play,
Speaker 1: you'd say, these companies are making this much more than
Speaker 1: ever the head of the company is making this much.
Speaker 1: The workers have had their wages be stagnant for many
Speaker 1: many years or just very incremental raises. And also when
Speaker 1: you look at the geography of where they live, those
Speaker 1: wages don't translate to being able to own a home
Speaker 1: or maybe a rent a place that's big enough for
Speaker 1: a family and to support their kids. These are all
Speaker 1: factors that someone to believe that their work, their labor,
Speaker 1: is being exploited purely for someone else's profit, and they
Speaker 1: are no longer accepting this agreement. But that's not those
Speaker 1: aren't the people they talked to. Instead, they talked to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they're writing from the perspective of the Biden
Speaker 1: administration and forecasters. The like subhead of the entire article says,
Speaker 1: the slow return of workers is causing headaches for the
Speaker 1: Biden administration, and forecasters were largely blindsided by the problem.
Speaker 1: So it's just you know, the technocratic class. I think
Speaker 1: we also earned a social I mean, as an actor, right,
Speaker 1: this is what I study, like our social conditions, and
Speaker 1: I think We're in a place now where the newer
Speaker 1: generation is rubbing off a bit on the older generations
Speaker 1: of being like the sort of vibe of do what
Speaker 1: makes you happy? Happiness is more important, peace, contentment, living
Speaker 1: a happy and healthy life is more important than the
Speaker 1: previous generation's work ethic, which was like struggle, work hard,
Speaker 1: you know, put in your work above all costs, like
Speaker 1: like you Yeah, And that used to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I want a man who works hard, or I want
Speaker 1: to beat with someone. I want my son to to
Speaker 1: work every day. And now it's like I want my
Speaker 1: son to be happy. I want people to be I
Speaker 1: want people to feel good. I'm people to be healthy.
Speaker 1: There's a new sort of ethos in our country, and
Speaker 1: that means that like, yeah, I'm gonna be a little
Speaker 1: more broke, but I'm not gonna do this job right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also we live in a world where you can
Speaker 1: become a millionaire selling JPEGs, so people are finding other
Speaker 1: ways to make money, right or laundering money with jpex
Speaker 1: however you want to look at that. Yeah, But I
Speaker 1: mean the strike is not just limited to their you know,
Speaker 1: like his IASI right, they have an agreement, but even
Speaker 1: the people in IATI. The members, they're they're not happy
Speaker 1: with it. It stills yet to be ratified. And the
Speaker 1: way they're looking at it is like, we have the
Speaker 1: fucking leverage. Don't just take this deal. We need to
Speaker 1: go further because if we're ready to strike right now,
Speaker 1: then we need to actually really advocate for the outcomes
Speaker 1: that we want and not just get the sort of
Speaker 1: piecemeal version of what we've negotiated. And there's still i mean,
Speaker 1: it still has to get ratified, so there's still a
Speaker 1: potential for them to go on strike. And because on
Speaker 1: Saturday it seemed like, oh, they found an agreement, but
Speaker 1: you have to kind of wade through it and be like,
Speaker 1: it's not everything they wanted. And even Kaiser up in
Speaker 1: California and Oregon hospital workers like voted to authorize a strike.
Speaker 1: It's it's like everywhere, it's whiskey people who make whiskey,
Speaker 1: or fucking coal miners or you know all it's it's everywhere,
Speaker 1: because like you're saying, there is this, whether it's an
Speaker 1: ethos or just a moment of clarity for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, I think they're realizing, wait, I'm doing this
Speaker 1: much to get this much back, and life costs how much,
Speaker 1: and people are talking about people are talking about wealth
Speaker 1: inequality more and more too. Right, It's it's hard if
Speaker 1: you're an Amazon actory worker to be like, wait, he
Speaker 1: makes how much? And now there's like graphics on Instagram
Speaker 1: that show you how much a billion dollars is and
Speaker 1: then it's like he's got three hundred of them, and
Speaker 1: you're like, godle like, I think you start to feel
Speaker 1: like people are starting to realize the difference between a
Speaker 1: billion and a million, right, right, yeah, And it's just
Speaker 1: you know, this is a moment for that a labor
Speaker 1: like party would come in handy where like a labor
Speaker 1: party would be ascended. And it is unique to America
Speaker 1: that that's just not possible. There's no party that is
Speaker 1: going to come to the forefront. We have the party
Speaker 1: in power that is most likely to do that, and
Speaker 1: they will continue to refuse to do that because it's
Speaker 1: it's all, you know. And then we have places like
Speaker 1: The New York Times that insulate us from the obvious
Speaker 1: answer that like people aren't being paid enough, they need
Speaker 1: to be paid more, and then like things begin working again.
Speaker 1: Instead it's you know, they focus on well, it's a
Speaker 1: real headache for the Biden administration and their forecasters, and
Speaker 1: it's just like, no, man, it's this could be great
Speaker 1: for the people of this country, right, but instead it's
Speaker 1: just a squanded opportunity and an opportunity for people to
Speaker 1: continue to be frustrated. Well, because yeah, because it it
Speaker 1: all lies in where the power is concentrated, and if
Speaker 1: you are if you're at the level where you have
Speaker 1: the media and you're able to seed stories in the media,
Speaker 1: the narrative for people of wealth and means or business owners,
Speaker 1: they're they're looking at this moment right now being like,
Speaker 1: we're going to have to make less money, like for
Speaker 1: the ship that they're asking, like, I have to make
Speaker 1: less money than I normally do. I have to make
Speaker 1: less millions of dollars than I normally do. And that
Speaker 1: is absolutely an unfathomable request because things have been going
Speaker 1: this way for for as long as I can remember. Now, what,
Speaker 1: what's this? This is completely wrong. So all the thrust
Speaker 1: of many of these stories is always going to have
Speaker 1: this like the same reluctance or hesitance behind it, because
Speaker 1: it's of a class of people who look at this
Speaker 1: situation not like we would and say, dude, this would
Speaker 1: allow people to feel so much more free, to feel
Speaker 1: more involved, have time to be with their families, to
Speaker 1: actually have time to like live and not just toil
Speaker 1: and the so that the perspectives are completely different, and
Speaker 1: it's hard to think, like, you know, with Yang coming
Speaker 1: in saying like, oh, we should start a third party,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not what is really you know, a
Speaker 1: third party like that isn't what's gonna do it like
Speaker 1: you're saying, it's to really give people this idea is
Speaker 1: like we have to completely upend what we believe is
Speaker 1: fair and what a path to being, you know, having
Speaker 1: abundance is, and what even abundance is, because abundance is
Speaker 1: not everyone has billions of dollars. Abundance should be people
Speaker 1: are free to live their lives happily, safely, have access
Speaker 1: to healthcare, have access to education, and not be stressed
Speaker 1: out about the mirror the basic elements of survival. They
Speaker 1: I think also the whole country just realized like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can get as much work done from my home
Speaker 1: computer in three hours that I do in the office
Speaker 1: and twelve. Yeah, people are starting to realize what productivity
Speaker 1: is because of the pandemic, and they're like what do you.
Speaker 1: I got to spend more time with my kids, I
Speaker 1: got to do this, I got to do that, I
Speaker 1: got to work out, I got to sleep in, and
Speaker 1: I still got the same amount of work done. So
Speaker 1: what am I slothing slaving away for? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, and just on the media. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's always a thing like the Adam Schefter email
Speaker 1: where he's like, hey, boss to like the fucking president
Speaker 1: of the Washington football team, asking them like what what
Speaker 1: he should print about them? I think in a lot
Speaker 1: of cases it's just they go to college and are
Speaker 1: taught that like this is what realistic people do. They
Speaker 1: check with the forecasters, They look at the people in power,
Speaker 1: They you know, check with the corporations because that who
Speaker 1: that's who moves things in the country. And then it's
Speaker 1: like that is just so ground into, like they're the
Speaker 1: very fabric of their like just d n a that
Speaker 1: they can't like step back and just be like no,
Speaker 1: that this is a different thing. This is this is
Speaker 1: a moment where things are changing and you are just
Speaker 1: kind of incapable of seeing it. That Adam Schefter email
Speaker 1: reminded me of that clip of that referee talking to
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's where he's like, did he follow you? Michael,
Speaker 1: I won't call it if you say he followed you.
Speaker 1: If you say he followed you, Michael, I promised I
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I'll call it next time, okay, Michael.
Speaker 1: And just you you mentioned like the J pegs and
Speaker 1: the n F T s and something that like I
Speaker 1: feel like it is a piece with that is The
Speaker 1: San Francisco Chronicle just reported on a T shirt breaking
Speaker 1: a record for selling for seventeen dollars. It's like an
Speaker 1: original grateful Dead T shirt. I I think that things
Speaker 1: that there's this I'm gonna come up with a phrase
Speaker 1: here and just say there's two America's I know, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: but there are like for one portion of the population.
Speaker 1: The problem is they're not being paid enough to like
Speaker 1: live there in a position where if they get sick,
Speaker 1: they will go bankrupt, they won't be able to pay
Speaker 1: for healthcare. But then there's this other strata where their
Speaker 1: problem is they don't know what to buy, and so
Speaker 1: they are putting just absurd amounts of money into these
Speaker 1: new products that only exists as something to gamble on.
Speaker 1: It's just it's essentially gambling it's the stock market is
Speaker 1: gambling and f t S is gambling. And they don't
Speaker 1: provide a service. They don't have anything to do with
Speaker 1: anything other than giving you a new product to put
Speaker 1: your money in because you have too much of it, essentially,
Speaker 1: and like just that's shirts. Yeah. I feel like people
Speaker 1: need to have a have a basic idea of like
Speaker 1: when you get to a certain point, right, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's true you can have too much money. That's possible.
Speaker 1: You know, you can only have so many things, you
Speaker 1: can only have so many cars or shirts or places
Speaker 1: to live. Yeah, And I think so many people just
Speaker 1: never stopped to question themselves. I'm at a point where
Speaker 1: I'm buying a seventeen thousand dollar old T shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what? What? What is? Where am I at?
Speaker 1: Do I need this? What? Dude? Like no one. I
Speaker 1: think it's it's hard for people of like hyper wealth
Speaker 1: to really ask that question. And because I'm sure on
Speaker 1: a certain level two there's like an insatiable need to
Speaker 1: keep attaining things up too. Yeah, it's like I'll buy
Speaker 1: this seventeen thousand dollar T shirt because I know that
Speaker 1: one day someone will give me thirty four thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for it, and so that's why I'm going to buy it,
Speaker 1: because it's the investment. And it's like you said, it's
Speaker 1: like there, that's their sport. How do I turn sevent
Speaker 1: k and the four k? How do I turn that
Speaker 1: thirty four k into sixt k? And like it's just
Speaker 1: to constantly attain is I do think that's addictive. I
Speaker 1: do think that's that's sport when you can't run in
Speaker 1: down and it's a it's right because again, blindsided forecasters
Speaker 1: forecasters are like, whoa, I thought this was gonna sell
Speaker 1: for three thousand dollars, Like, well, you guys aren't paying
Speaker 1: attention to the country we live in now, like the
Speaker 1: people the very rich need shipped to put money in
Speaker 1: and everybody else is piste off that they can't fucking
Speaker 1: live and like those two realities, like people just don't
Speaker 1: say those two things. The thing kind of a along
Speaker 1: these lines that the New York Times are a lot
Speaker 1: of mainstream media outlets are not pointing out. But I
Speaker 1: just thought it was. I retweeted this writer sat Hill
Speaker 1: Kapoor about he's just I'm just gonna read his tweet.
Speaker 1: He says some context on price text the seven and
Speaker 1: twenty five point eight billion dollar defense spending bill that
Speaker 1: just passed through the Senate without any you know question
Speaker 1: is for one year. The three point five trillion Build
Speaker 1: Back Better plan is over ten years. Apples to apples.
Speaker 1: Biden's economic and social policy is less than half of
Speaker 1: what Congress just like easily approved to spend on the Pentagon.
Speaker 1: So like that again, just like the sort of thing
Speaker 1: doesn't Yeah, but it's just like doesn't get fucking that.
Speaker 1: How is that not the Biden administrations like number one
Speaker 1: thing that they're bringing to the table, because then it draws,
Speaker 1: it brings attention to the absurdity of our defense spending. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it just is Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then money's not going to soldiers. The soldiers are
Speaker 1: still paid, like ship that money is going to corporations
Speaker 1: to build the build the weapons on the plane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and as the Pentagon pisses their pants because China just
Speaker 1: you know, tested like this hypersonic nuclear missile where they're
Speaker 1: like whoa, yeah, even more I mean, and and all
Speaker 1: of the spending that all of the country spending all
Speaker 1: over the world is just because someone else spent it
Speaker 1: and has a weapon we have to have a better weapon,
Speaker 1: and it's just like we're spending trillions and these weapons
Speaker 1: aren't ever gonna get used. But I think, yeah, I
Speaker 1: do think that that used to be. My understanding is
Speaker 1: that it was like this one giant arms race, But
Speaker 1: I really think that a lot of it is actually
Speaker 1: a like shell game being operated by American corporations, and
Speaker 1: they're driving the spending of like a lot of the
Speaker 1: global they can like build the thing, like Boeing and
Speaker 1: you want to build Lockheed Martin so they could build
Speaker 1: the thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The like period since nine eleven, uh,
Speaker 1: the Northern Virginia suburbs have like turned into this place
Speaker 1: that has all the all the like best restaurants in America. Somehow,
Speaker 1: it's because that's just where all the money went, because
Speaker 1: they were able to just spend and spend and spend
Speaker 1: on weapons. For all the listeners at home, Jack and
Speaker 1: Miles currently have the view of me holding my an infant.
Speaker 1: She's pretty somehow, Yeah, but the way you kind of
Speaker 1: still keep it together while you're like ning this tiny
Speaker 1: cat is also pretty impressive. I Mean, there's nothing in
Speaker 1: the world I love more than this cat. And I
Speaker 1: had her the simple things you could have the cat
Speaker 1: or the club. I got her February, not that long ago.
Speaker 1: In fact, we did a podcast I think like the
Speaker 1: week I got her. Yeah, and I was still like
Speaker 1: learning about her. But oh my god, the best thing
Speaker 1: in the world is this little booboo. Well maybe when
Speaker 1: I send a pick her for the need, I'll include her. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and you know. Donald Trump had to
Speaker 1: weigh in on the passing of Colin Powell with a
Speaker 1: very tasteful obituary where he was just like he he
Speaker 1: called him a rhino. He complained about how the media
Speaker 1: was treating him beautifully, but it was just like very
Speaker 1: like transparently bitter and angry and jealous and what like.
Speaker 1: He was like, I wonder if I'll be treated that
Speaker 1: way where I hope maybe maybe talk next about me
Speaker 1: like that made a terrible mistake in Iraq. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and a war that shouldn't have happened. You're like, true,
Speaker 1: true on those two accounts. But just it's just funny
Speaker 1: to watch him. I mean, first of all, it's so
Speaker 1: like how like checks all the boxes. He didn't endorse him,
Speaker 1: is a person of color is smarter than Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and like he is getting positive press and that those
Speaker 1: things Trump can abide. And he's always so jealous anytime
Speaker 1: a dead person gets positive pressed because he like he's
Speaker 1: like I think part of him realizes he's going to
Speaker 1: get negative pressed when he does, and also like it's
Speaker 1: something that he can attain, Like he what if I
Speaker 1: fake my own death? What? What about that? Just I
Speaker 1: have my own synicism about this. But do either of
Speaker 1: you think that Trump will ever get come up? And
Speaker 1: do you think he'll ever get a perp walk? Do
Speaker 1: you think he'll ever get found guilty of something? Do
Speaker 1: you think he'll ever like do you think they'll ever
Speaker 1: be a punishment for him ever before he dies? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not too invest in him. That is
Speaker 1: an outcome at all, to be honest, because if I
Speaker 1: look at it like that, it'll just be and just
Speaker 1: become so frustrating. All I think when I look at
Speaker 1: is I just look at the data set in front
Speaker 1: of me that would suggest he will not. I agreed.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't need to. I don't need
Speaker 1: to fantasize outside of that and just look at and
Speaker 1: go well, this just means we have so many things
Speaker 1: we have to change in this country more than like
Speaker 1: why can't he go to jail? And he should, absolutely,
Speaker 1: but it would just there's too many, I think, too
Speaker 1: many people protecting that power and don't want to like
Speaker 1: upend the balance of power like that to be like
Speaker 1: hold on, we are going to hold powerful people to account,
Speaker 1: and there's a way to do that. I just don't
Speaker 1: think there's a will for it, because even just the
Speaker 1: way everything is set up, even with the January six Commission,
Speaker 1: like the potential to just like fucking obstruct your way
Speaker 1: out of this ship too. So I'd like to believe
Speaker 1: that there's some justice in our universe, but as I've
Speaker 1: begun to realize, I'm not sure that's the case all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, deserves got nothing to do with it exactly.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think the other thing with with Colin
Speaker 1: Powell and like Trump too, was like Colin Powell was
Speaker 1: like on his way to actually being like the more
Speaker 1: more like the next phase of the Republican Party before Trump,
Speaker 1: Like he had a lot of influence before Trump came in,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's a lot of ben because of that.
Speaker 1: That's why Colman Powell was like, what the funk is this?
Speaker 1: This is the guy? All right, He's like, but I
Speaker 1: I didn't question the Pentagon at all and went along
Speaker 1: with our momentum as a war machine and helped destroy
Speaker 1: part of the earth. You're not gonna h oh, all right, yes,
Speaker 1: because he's the president. Yeah, yeah, I mean he was
Speaker 1: always pretty open about his despising Trump, and to the
Speaker 1: point that he even endorsed Hillary Clinton, which I think
Speaker 1: is like, you know, someone just wilfully eating something they're
Speaker 1: allergic to for a Republican. And there's a there's an
Speaker 1: email they were talking about on Chopo that apparently came
Speaker 1: out where he was like, yeah, she's not going to
Speaker 1: be transformative for the country. And then the next sentence
Speaker 1: was and her husband still out here dicking bimbos, which
Speaker 1: made me kind of respect him. That's what he said. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: Colin Paul said out, you're dicking bimbos, dicking bimbos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're still running around dicking bimbos. Ye, that are you? What? Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out to that man. I'm shocked. I'm truly speechless
Speaker 1: at that. I thought you were joking. No, No, that's real. Yeah.
Speaker 1: From a from a Daily Beast article in leaked email
Speaker 1: reveals he thinks the next president is still dicking bimbo,
Speaker 1: his wife screws up everything, and her opponent is a racist.
Speaker 1: Yeah say wow, you're like, oh, that's the omni take
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, this is what we would get if
Speaker 1: all politicians were as just reckless as Trump. Like what
Speaker 1: if you just have like the spicy twitter fingers like
Speaker 1: and just put that out there. It was just like,
Speaker 1: oh my, meanwhile, we got Bill Clinton out here still
Speaker 1: run around dicking bimbos. Ye, man, he's not wrong. I
Speaker 1: mean Clinton just went to the hospital for U T I,
Speaker 1: so was going on with him. Dude, I can't wait
Speaker 1: till you guys get some huge press for something like that,
Speaker 1: like like popular podcast daily site Geist first to break
Speaker 1: to first to break story that Bill Clinton has it STV.
Speaker 1: Well he did. He That's what they said. He went
Speaker 1: to the Irvine because he had a U T I. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I said. I'm I'm just putting two headlines together.
Speaker 1: Colin Pal's opinion of his personal life and the fact
Speaker 1: that his latest health scare had to do with ut I,
Speaker 1: like he still had to give it that little that
Speaker 1: little toxic. You know, he's still an enlisted man that link. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and finally, I just wanna talk about all right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it, Fox News has a double standard. Oh.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna get a lot of blowback for this,
Speaker 1: but um yeah, I didn't realize why this was a
Speaker 1: story that people judge was on paternity leave, but it
Speaker 1: became a big story, I guess on the right because
Speaker 1: I guess they were they were trying to tie the
Speaker 1: fact that he was on paternity leave to the I
Speaker 1: don't know, like bad bad things in America because global
Speaker 1: supply chain issue. Oh that's why, that's why we're here.
Speaker 1: Because Pete Buddha Jedge decided to have a child and
Speaker 1: take paternity That's that's the global souff But it's not
Speaker 1: COVID or the other stressers on different points of a
Speaker 1: supply chain. It's because Pete Buddha Jedge fucking paternity leave.
Speaker 1: But it's just funny, man, because this point they really show,
Speaker 1: like more than anything, right, that Republicans can never have
Speaker 1: any any overlapping beliefs with what they perceived to be
Speaker 1: like the liberal anything, even if it's an objective good,
Speaker 1: they'll suddenly be like not fucking dumb, like funk that
Speaker 1: even if I did like that earlier, now I'm different.
Speaker 1: And so this recent incident on Foxes the Five, Jesse
Speaker 1: Waters did a great u turn, almost like Lindsay Graham
Speaker 1: on Afghanistan, like where it's like, hold on, you're saying
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of what you've been. Okay, I guess
Speaker 1: that's where at because you had to pick your side.
Speaker 1: And he he, you know, goes on to say, like, look, man,
Speaker 1: I just don't understand like why this dude had to
Speaker 1: take fucking the paternity leave, and like when I did,
Speaker 1: like it was nothing like I did it for like
Speaker 1: a couple of hours, and I clocked right back in
Speaker 1: because I'm a sucking g like that. Listen to him,
Speaker 1: Listen to him on the five. This is him, you know,
Speaker 1: just talking about what right now this was from you know,
Speaker 1: in the last day, what his beliefs are, just like
Speaker 1: how he sees paternity leave. When I took my paternity leave,
Speaker 1: I was only going for a couple of days and
Speaker 1: someone took my place here at the table. What do
Speaker 1: I just had what they called the four the entire
Speaker 1: paternity That's not how it works. This is a great
Speaker 1: test for government. Okay, I don't want to hear Greg Godfeld,
Speaker 1: oh my, but that's what he says. He goes, I
Speaker 1: was just going for like a couple of days, man,
Speaker 1: I'm a Buddha judge. Took like a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: off black because like that's like a humane thing that
Speaker 1: people do for new parents. Uh okay. So I just
Speaker 1: want to play this man because Jesse Waters went on
Speaker 1: fucking paternity leave, you know, earlier this year, and I
Speaker 1: just want to play what he was saying back in
Speaker 1: April when he came back from paternity, because it's a
Speaker 1: lot different than this ship he just said. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say I'm the only one
Speaker 1: on the show that's been paid on twice today and
Speaker 1: well maybe not Gutfeld. Good Night's young for Greg. But
Speaker 1: um my, my, my father, my father said just today, Um, Jesse,
Speaker 1: you better get back on the five pretty soon. Your
Speaker 1: replacements have been really good, thanks dad. Um. But now
Speaker 1: I am I'm pro paternity. I used to mock people
Speaker 1: for for taking paternity. I used to think it was
Speaker 1: a big ruse, but now you know, I wish I
Speaker 1: could take six weeks. But okay, okay, okay, cool cool guy,
Speaker 1: flip flop it. He's so punchable. Yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make a can we make a punchable face starting lineup?
Speaker 1: Because Walker, Carlson, Tucker, Carlson Waters, Ted Cruz is like
Speaker 1: having on my Big three. Oh yeah, they all have
Speaker 1: the same face shape too that they have that face
Speaker 1: jelly like puffy like Jesse Waters didn't used to look
Speaker 1: like that, and then like he started working at Fox News,
Speaker 1: and I think they must have like a type of
Speaker 1: like a species of tick that like lives in the
Speaker 1: building that just like bites them and they like just
Speaker 1: immediately puff up a little bit. Because yeah, he's got
Speaker 1: he turned. He did that Tucker thing where he was
Speaker 1: like puffed. It's just sad, right like he when when
Speaker 1: Jesse Waters went on paternity leave, he said, this was
Speaker 1: actually great my kid. I'm around my kid. I I
Speaker 1: didn't think I would like that. I used to mock
Speaker 1: these people. Now I'm fully for it. But then the
Speaker 1: second it an intersects with some stupid culture war battle,
Speaker 1: It's like I gotta flip the switch. Man. I actually
Speaker 1: hate my kid. I hate being a father and men
Speaker 1: don't need to be around babies ever. Yes, hey man,
Speaker 1: it's it's sad, it's it must be tough out there,
Speaker 1: but like that's why again these this is a group
Speaker 1: of people who have really know they just want to
Speaker 1: be in power, but they have no aims to improve
Speaker 1: anything for anyone aside from you know, a very small
Speaker 1: group of people. At least they got that jab in
Speaker 1: that about Gutfeld being into piss play to make sure
Speaker 1: that even that segment was super toxic and King Shamy,
Speaker 1: Hey the nice young days young? Am I right? Anyway?
Speaker 1: So take me seriously now when I take a dump
Speaker 1: on this political discourse, like sure, well days, that has
Speaker 1: been such a pleasure having you. Man, Where can people
Speaker 1: uh find you and follow you? Thank you? Yeah, please

Speaker 1: I pick up my phone. She said, I don't know
Speaker 1: who needs to hear this. When you're using your phone,
Speaker 1: stop using your pinky as as an anchor. It's destroying
Speaker 1: your wrist and aggravating your ulnar nerve. Which is exactly

Speaker 1: nerve ship going on in my hand and wrist, so
Speaker 1: like just doing it like that, Yeah, doing the pinky
