Speaker 1: with man just as a kind of update on where
Speaker 1: I'm at. I was just having a conversation with my
Speaker 1: three year old about the difference between fruits and vegetables,
Speaker 1: and I think, I think this must happen to every
Speaker 1: parent where they realized that the whole thing about like
Speaker 1: they're being seeds in fruits but not vegetables is complete
Speaker 1: and utter bullshit. Because I was like, yeah, well, so
Speaker 1: a tomato is actually a fruit because of the season.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, but what about like zucchini, what
Speaker 1: about cucumbers? What about pumpkins? And I realized that I
Speaker 1: had been lied to my whole life, and I've been
Speaker 1: made to look like a fool in front of my
Speaker 1: three year old, So I'm not not happy about this,
Speaker 1: But Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our
Speaker 1: third seat by a brilliant TV writer, performer, enrolled cow
Speaker 1: It's Indian Tribal member, and all around comedy guy. To
Speaker 1: his website, he's written on shows for Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, DreamWorks,

Speaker 1: adventure series Spirit Rangers. Please welcome the hilarious, the talented
Speaker 1: Joey Click. That's got everybody and I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: jump into the song too. I think I know the game.
Speaker 1: Oh so king is really clean. She's got jumping humping
Speaker 1: on a bad pup. But you know, I read it
Speaker 1: in a so causine. Uh sss o King on a bead?
Speaker 1: Uh oh so king on a bead? Have you done
Speaker 1: it yet? Oh? But they're so jump humped out s
Speaker 1: sss O King on a bed? H so good, so good,
Speaker 1: so good on a bed. Done jump hump jump jump jump,
Speaker 1: almost like someone's jump humping on the piano keyboard. That
Speaker 1: a great anime short, that would be. Yeah. I always
Speaker 1: every time I'm on the days like guys, thanks for
Speaker 1: having me back. By the way, I forget about the
Speaker 1: song parody game, and then while you're doing it, I'm
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I gotta panic google what song? Like?
Speaker 1: You know the tune too that I can very quickly
Speaker 1: do a parody of off the top of my head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: little testament to your quick mind there also, Jack, you
Speaker 1: know a lot of people like that. I believe that
Speaker 1: you would still consider a cucumber, an egg plant, a
Speaker 1: zucchinia fruit. Yeah, well but I don't. Okay, that's fine,
Speaker 1: it's not in my household, Miles not here. Get that
Speaker 1: out of here, Get that out science. I don't like
Speaker 1: that kind of sign and not for me. So what
Speaker 1: is a vegetable? Then it's just like carrots? Is that
Speaker 1: like that's the only vegetable. Yeah, I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: think of And then like bananas have really tiny seeds
Speaker 1: that like you can't really even see. It's it's a
Speaker 1: mess in there. Come on, signs. Isn't that figuring the
Speaker 1: difference is that fruits have seeds in them, whereas vegetables
Speaker 1: are like the pulp with the I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: not a scientist. Some account I guess like the other
Speaker 1: thing is like there's a botanical and culinary ways they
Speaker 1: look at it so like a fruit, like, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's saying what part of the plant it's coming from, right,
Speaker 1: So those those ones are technically be the fruit because
Speaker 1: it's coming from the flower of the plant, and then
Speaker 1: the other ones could be I guess vegetables. Look at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I go with the seed rule,
Speaker 1: and it allows me to be an insufferable asshole as supermarkets.
Speaker 1: I feel like when I was a kid, I used
Speaker 1: to go by the taste rule, and that fruits tend
Speaker 1: to have like a sweeter taste. Vegetables tend to be,
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more like savory is not
Speaker 1: the right word for it, but like a little bit bland,
Speaker 1: like not as much sweetness, right, And then like you know,
Speaker 1: you find out that tomatoes are technically fruits and that
Speaker 1: just tomato sauces a fruit smoothie basically, get here with that.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's like apple sauce, you know. Although the
Speaker 1: to it was actually a fruit was like I think
Speaker 1: my first like counter factual, like actually it's kind of surprising,
Speaker 1: but when I was like five years old, so you know,
Speaker 1: what's funny though. I reacted like you are now to
Speaker 1: someone saying that I don't no, it's not just stop
Speaker 1: just shut up, Like well it's technically I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: technically we're about to not eat lunch together. Yeah, anymore.
Speaker 1: I was like that when I was announced that Pluto
Speaker 1: wasn't a planet, and I was just like, uh, saying
Speaker 1: alternate thought, fuck you, how about this? Okay? But I
Speaker 1: was just what you were talking about about apple sauce
Speaker 1: a second ago. One of I like, I guess I
Speaker 1: would say early pandemic panic purchases, you know, the first
Speaker 1: couple of days when you know we're all like trying
Speaker 1: to grab toilet paper and stuff like that. I was
Speaker 1: in the supermarket and I just saw like a case,
Speaker 1: a twenty four pack of apple sauce that I was
Speaker 1: just like, oh, that's calories, just in case it's really bad.
Speaker 1: I do not really like apple sauce. It is since
Speaker 1: like and it was like four bucks, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this will do. It's been sitting on my kitchen table
Speaker 1: for a year and a half at this point. It
Speaker 1: expired in April. I have not thrown it away, though,
Speaker 1: because it's just comforting to me. That it's there, and
Speaker 1: also a reminder of my shame. I guess yeah, and
Speaker 1: you can if you want to have a party, just
Speaker 1: pop one of them open down. Hell yeah, dude, I
Speaker 1: turned into Pruno or something by this point. Anyway, back
Speaker 1: to the Benny and the Jets parody. So that's that's
Speaker 1: that's okay, on so good, so good, on the bed Man.
Speaker 1: I could do it. I could do the whole episode
Speaker 1: about this. All right, we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, a few
Speaker 1: things that we're gonna be talking about. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about hospitals, a K, communists, China, fire and everybody because
Speaker 1: they just wouldn't get the vaccine. Okay, okay, big brother.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Rancis Howgan, the Facebook whistleblower. Are
Speaker 1: we pronouncing that? Halgan? Hogan? Halgan who went and spoke
Speaker 1: in front of Congress and like sort of for the
Speaker 1: first time, spoke in English that the Congress people were
Speaker 1: able to understand. We'll talk about We'll talk about Starbucks, stands,
Speaker 1: collectors items, and of course the War on Christmas has started.
Speaker 1: It being October, so we will talk about the the
Speaker 1: tropes that are getting picked up on the right and
Speaker 1: the ones that are being ignored as hard as possible.
Speaker 1: All of that plenty more. But first, Joey, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history. I I'm not really a big sports person.
Speaker 1: I'm somebody that would consider to be like kind of
Speaker 1: a fair weather sports fan, and that you know, I
Speaker 1: grew up around Washington State, so of course in Washington
Speaker 1: teams are doing great. I'm happy. But I just released
Speaker 1: an animated short through Comedy Central about Native American sports mascots,
Speaker 1: and we planned to release it around kind of the
Speaker 1: last game that the Cleveland Indians played under that name.
Speaker 1: They announced they were changing the name last year, but
Speaker 1: they wanted to do you know, full season under that
Speaker 1: name as I don't know farewell to I guess farewell
Speaker 1: fuck you? Yeah, and um we released the short last week.
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Indians played their last game under that name
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So for probably months, every few days, I
Speaker 1: would like panic Google what are the chances of the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians getting into the playoffs, because I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: if they like do well, that's like yeah, It's like oh,
Speaker 1: like it's like we're set for October what was something?
Speaker 1: But if they get into the playoffs, then the video
Speaker 1: might come outuntil December. Oh that would suck. So um
Speaker 1: it's the most like I've never rooted against a team
Speaker 1: so hard for I guess selfish purposes. That's selfish at all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, if they do well, it might
Speaker 1: affect my like video release, it's gonna be now like
Speaker 1: the boomers or something Boomers Cleveland, baby Boomers, what is it?
Speaker 1: The Guardians? Ploto is just like a sixty year old
Speaker 1: person on Facebook like sharing a sharing an anti tax meme. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they should still be the Indians. Yeah that's his
Speaker 1: that's his voice bubble because mascots have voice bubbles, right Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, person on a hunched over Facebook on a computer.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I mean I think that that would be
Speaker 1: appropriate of a boomer culture. And if boomers did not
Speaker 1: like that, I get it. Yea our time on traditions.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, not not our mascots, the boomers will say.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's something that I have and it
Speaker 1: was it was great because like I feel like a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, they had like a five percent
Speaker 1: chance of getting the playoffs, but like they haven't played great,
Speaker 1: and the Chicago White Sox they think it played really well,
Speaker 1: so like their chances of getting into the playoffs dropped
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And it was like, once I
Speaker 1: hit like less than one percent chance, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think I'm in the clear. And then the week
Speaker 1: of the thing, it was like zero percent chance of
Speaker 1: getting the playoffs, and I was like, hell, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: baseball playoffs are upon us. Tis the season to uh
Speaker 1: notice that baseball is still a sport that people watch.
Speaker 1: And yeah, a lot of that old merch from the rebrand.
Speaker 1: They're just like they're donating and also selling it but
Speaker 1: then giving the proceeds to charity, which I don't know
Speaker 1: which charity that is, but it's just it's a fan
Speaker 1: named charity who they just give their they give extra
Speaker 1: money to. Oh, it's the owner's grand daughter charity. Right there.
Speaker 1: They are changing the name to the Cleveland Guardians, which
Speaker 1: I think is in reference to and a bridge builders
Speaker 1: or something. There's something with the bridge that's next to
Speaker 1: the stadium that when when I was like, this name
Speaker 1: is not great, but fine, we're We're glad it's changing.
Speaker 1: Not a great name. I got a lot of replies
Speaker 1: with people giving me linking off to like twenty five
Speaker 1: minute long YouTube videos explaining the name, and you watch that,
Speaker 1: and now you're super And what is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? I'm a really big professional wrestling fan. It's
Speaker 1: something I've been a fan of my entire life pretty much.
Speaker 1: And um. There are a series of matches that happened
Speaker 1: in the tens in New Japan pro wrestling wrestling named
Speaker 1: kenyog Mega versus wrestling named Okada, which are considered to
Speaker 1: be the greatest professional wrestling matches in the history of
Speaker 1: professional wrestling. Dave Meltzer is a pro wrestling journalist of
Speaker 1: note who has a five star scale of how he
Speaker 1: writes matches in terms of quality, and one of the
Speaker 1: Occado Mega matches he rated seven stars, which like broke
Speaker 1: his scale. It was so good, and I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I'm a big pro wrestling fan.
Speaker 1: The matches are like they're the problem with them is
Speaker 1: that they're all like forty minute long epics, So it's
Speaker 1: sort of like sitting down to you know, like a
Speaker 1: three hour movie or something like that in pro wrestling
Speaker 1: match terms, and I don't know, I just kind of
Speaker 1: want to watch people do flips and kick each other
Speaker 1: in the face. I'm not sure if I want twenty
Speaker 1: minutes of like slow Matt wrestling action to get to
Speaker 1: the cool stuff. You know. That's funny. There is a
Speaker 1: bias like in certain you know, fan bases, where I
Speaker 1: feel like the longer the movie for a while was
Speaker 1: it was considered like, well, that's a that's a classy movie,
Speaker 1: even though I think a lot of times like you
Speaker 1: should at least have a couple ninety minute movies on
Speaker 1: your like top five list. It shouldn't just all three
Speaker 1: hour long epics. You know, like sometimes you're in the
Speaker 1: mood for like a four hour long you know, like
Speaker 1: sometimes you're in the mood for Citizen Kane or whatever,
Speaker 1: or sometimes you're in the mood for like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: a ninety minute like die Hard or something like that,
Speaker 1: where it's like it's like someone getting hit by a train. Yeah, totally, totally, totally,
Speaker 1: And it's I think it's you know, like both of
Speaker 1: those wrestlers are so good, and like I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of Occado and a Mega separately. It's just like this
Speaker 1: thing that the fandom has called the best series of
Speaker 1: matches of all time, and I'm like, yeah, it's I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like sometimes you want, you know, a
Speaker 1: seven minute long like rush song or something like that,
Speaker 1: or sometimes you want like a minute thirty punk song,
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, I feel like I'm more on the
Speaker 1: minute thirty punk song side of things. Yeah. One of
Speaker 1: my like my mom's really good close friends is used
Speaker 1: to be married to that wrestler Masa Saito who's Mr
Speaker 1: Seido WF like back in the day, and I remember
Speaker 1: around the time I was so into wrestling that I
Speaker 1: went when we were in Japan. She's like, Oh, come out,
Speaker 1: we're having like the I Forget whatever, like all those
Speaker 1: tournaments like the g One Climb. Yeah, So I into
Speaker 1: one of those and I was like, I was like
Speaker 1: I'm ready because I had already been to a couple
Speaker 1: you know, WWF house shows and a WrestleMania and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, this is it, and the culture around
Speaker 1: the shows were so different. I was like having this
Speaker 1: like sort of bit of wrestling culture clash happening, right,
Speaker 1: But it's true, like it is, it offers like a
Speaker 1: completely different version, whereas to me, a fourteen year old
Speaker 1: who's just been mainlining Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Like clips
Speaker 1: I was just a little bit like, okay, yeah that
Speaker 1: was cool. That was there was some cool stuff in there.
Speaker 1: This yeah, technical stuff in there. Yeah, And like m JPW,
Speaker 1: it's it's really good. It's like I would say that
Speaker 1: if w w E is like the action movie form
Speaker 1: of wrestling where it's just like, yeah, the undertakers shooting
Speaker 1: out fireballs like Cayne's long lost brother blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, Like n j p W is like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is like the sport version of this, Like you know,
Speaker 1: there's not there's not like magic stuff. Nobody is like
Speaker 1: secretly a demon or whatever. It's very much just like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are two like top of their form athletes who
Speaker 1: like understand the sport of professional wrestling to a t
Speaker 1: and like are so good at like the performative aspects
Speaker 1: of it. So it's like it's a little bit more
Speaker 1: real in how they perform their moves, Like they hit,
Speaker 1: Like there's this thing called strong style where wrestlers will
Speaker 1: hit each other four real as hard as humanly possible,
Speaker 1: but in safe spaces. So it's like a forearm as
Speaker 1: hard as you can to like the shoulder where it
Speaker 1: might hurt, but it's not gonna like when you're knocked
Speaker 1: you out like that, right, it's like punching on the
Speaker 1: shoulder like sort of wing you're a kid, like a
Speaker 1: thing that I feel like, yeah, yeah, okay, you get one,
Speaker 1: you get one, I'll take it. I can take it
Speaker 1: right there, go yeah. When then the wrestlers are really
Speaker 1: good at Like there's a soo named a Coda Bushy
Speaker 1: who's like one of the best wrestlers in the world
Speaker 1: who famously does a lot of like just insane drops
Speaker 1: on his neck, like he gets pile driven straight on
Speaker 1: his neck all the time and it like looks insane.
Speaker 1: And the way that he can do that is he
Speaker 1: just does a lot of neck exercises sort of that
Speaker 1: thing of like they like do the moves for real
Speaker 1: to each other, but they are trained in such a
Speaker 1: way that they're like not going to get injured doing it,
Speaker 1: whereas w W is more the showmanship side of it
Speaker 1: of like it's like is a little bit you know,
Speaker 1: faker for lack of a better term, and that like
Speaker 1: things are a little bit more slight of handed away
Speaker 1: as to how things are done where's n JPW. It's
Speaker 1: just like, oh, dudes are just dropping each other on
Speaker 1: their next for real, right right right? And then people
Speaker 1: like in like a backyard match in like Tamper, Like
Speaker 1: you just see that clip, Yeah, we should try that
Speaker 1: on a regular folding table and then be surprised when
Speaker 1: someone has a TB I oh yeah for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of all the places to you know, do the do
Speaker 1: the sleight of hand that convinces people to do really
Speaker 1: dangerous things. I feel like America not the best choice
Speaker 1: for that, right right right? Do you have a top
Speaker 1: match like that you think is at the top of
Speaker 1: the pyramid? It should be. I mean it changes all
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, probably my all time is definitely
Speaker 1: going to be like Undertaker versus mcfolio hell in a
Speaker 1: cell nin team, which is like the most famous pro
Speaker 1: wrestling match all time. We're mikefully got like thrown up
Speaker 1: the sell a bunch of times, and um something I
Speaker 1: really love about that matches. I was doing a show
Speaker 1: just just before the pandemic where I was like work
Speaker 1: shopping a half hour show, but I had the theater
Speaker 1: book for an hour, so I was just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna workshop this show then afterwards, we'll watch this
Speaker 1: hell in a cell match, I guess. So I had
Speaker 1: like the theater of twenty people primarily comedy people, not
Speaker 1: wrestling fans, that like, we're so on board for this match.
Speaker 1: Like it's like they came in, you know, as like
Speaker 1: you know, like ironic comedians, but they left being like,
Speaker 1: oh that was like real as shit and cool as well,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, that's why prosling is great. Ye,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say that's probably all time, But
Speaker 1: there's so many like great matches specifically coming out of
Speaker 1: like n JPW and a e W, Like the Young
Speaker 1: Bucks versus the Luca Bros. In a cage a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago it all out was like probably one
Speaker 1: of the best tag team cage matches of all time.
Speaker 1: Like Kenny Omega versus Brian Danielson at Arthur A. Sh
Speaker 1: Stadium two weeks ago was like probably one of the
Speaker 1: best TV messes of all time. Like we're definitely in
Speaker 1: like a golden age of cool wrestling right now as
Speaker 1: far as non WW stuff goes, that's great. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Something I think is underrated?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm a really big Garfield stand. I
Speaker 1: love Garfield a lot, but I'm gonna say that Garfield's nemesis, Heathcliff,
Speaker 1: is underrated. I think Heathcliff comics Heathcliff the other orange
Speaker 1: cat who actually predates Garfield by a few months. People
Speaker 1: often think that Heathcliff is a Garfield clone, but really
Speaker 1: Garfield is kind of a Heathcliff clone. But um, what
Speaker 1: I love about Heathcliff comics in the modern day is
Speaker 1: there just batshit crazy with no punchlines. It's like the
Speaker 1: most data is comedy I have ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Like they introduced a character called the garbage Ape, who's
Speaker 1: just an ape who loves garbage, I guess, And there
Speaker 1: aren't jokes. It's just the entire comic will be like
Speaker 1: the garbage Ape walking down the street, you know, carrying
Speaker 1: trash cans, while below it it says the garbage Ape
Speaker 1: is here, and that's the whole comic. So it's like
Speaker 1: somebody who likes batshit chaos in my comedy, Heath Comics
Speaker 1: he delivering heath Cliffs fucking mainline Meet the fucking perfect ship.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just looking at I just googled Heathcliff comics.
Speaker 1: And the second one is Heathcliff descending on a sort
Speaker 1: of hang glider toward a store that says meat on it.
Speaker 1: It's a two butchers outside looking at him and saying
Speaker 1: he's got a serious meat tooth. And it's also he's
Speaker 1: also probably wearing a helmet that says meat on it. Right,
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he's not, but that that was going to be
Speaker 1: my one punch up for Yeah, he should out his
Speaker 1: meat head. Yeah, that is something another like fun and
Speaker 1: weird thing. It's like Heathcliff wears helmets that like have
Speaker 1: words on them, but you can't really pars the logic
Speaker 1: of like whether he likes the thing with a on
Speaker 1: it or not. It's like he'll be walking to a
Speaker 1: meat store with a helmet that says meat on it,
Speaker 1: or he'll be like drinking kool aid wearing a helmet
Speaker 1: that says kool aid or something, and it's just like, what,
Speaker 1: I don't understand what's happening or why this is. And
Speaker 1: it was like Heathcliff is pushing to tiny robots on
Speaker 1: a swing set in the closest He's great with robot children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's like that's what the fund is. Sure, there's
Speaker 1: one like with garbage ape in a tank and it
Speaker 1: just says like the garbage ape got a take today
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, this is a this is a good
Speaker 1: garbage ape. Cat's rejoice at the garbage ape's approach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like the kind of voice that it's written in
Speaker 1: changes like that. One. Cat's rejoice at the garbage apes
Speaker 1: approach And it's just nap holding too garbage cans as
Speaker 1: cats dance around like that's kind of biblical. This one,
Speaker 1: this one's I think it's actually a direct quote from
Speaker 1: the Bible. This one has Heathcliff pushing a wheelbarrow full
Speaker 1: of dazed dogs, and a dog catcher is saying he
Speaker 1: often borrows my wheelbarrow and such and such is such
Speaker 1: a like that? That one seems like it's been the
Speaker 1: person fell asleep halfway through writing it, or was falling asleep,
Speaker 1: grows my wheelbarrow and such and ship or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's I'm sending you one that's um garbage ape pouring
Speaker 1: lemonade to a line of cats. It says on the
Speaker 1: front of his booth, ape aid and then um, the
Speaker 1: text is just courtesy of the garbage ape. Oh, Heathcliff,
Speaker 1: how did you not have more staying power than Garfield?
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of Heathcliff growing up, at more
Speaker 1: Heathcliff than Garfield when I was a kid. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: did too, mainly blown away by his ability to skeletonize
Speaker 1: a fish just with his mouth. Just like pull that,
Speaker 1: pull that that boy out. That's actually a bit that
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about doing. I did a bit in November
Speaker 1: where I was pretty I had like eight thousand Twitter
Speaker 1: followers and I really wanted to hit ten thousand. So
Speaker 1: I posted on Twitter like, if I get ten thousand
Speaker 1: Twitter followers by the end of the year, of fel
Speaker 1: myself eating lasagna like Garfield, like just taking a trail
Speaker 1: of lasagna and just throwing it into my mouth. I
Speaker 1: got it. I thought it was gonna take a couple
Speaker 1: of months. It took like four hours or something like that.
Speaker 1: So I had to make that video. I covered my
Speaker 1: kitchen and a tarp to do it. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: like imitating comic characters to get Twitter followers, maybe I
Speaker 1: should say that I'm gonna like eat a fish like
Speaker 1: heath Clue. We're trying to put it in my mouth
Speaker 1: and debone it. But I'm not gonna like treat the fish,
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna be a video of me trying
Speaker 1: to put a full hih hed my head in my
Speaker 1: mouth and meant coughing a lot, and then maybe yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: or you just do one. You just make it look
Speaker 1: like those like those videos you on Reddit where it's
Speaker 1: like my first day skateboarding and then my thousandth day skateboarding.
Speaker 1: We just see like this progression, the last one just
Speaker 1: clean clean. Yeah. I feel like the last one is
Speaker 1: just going to be like a shot at my tombstone
Speaker 1: and r I P Joey Cliff. He died doing what
Speaker 1: he loved, imitating a cartoon cat doing what he loved,
Speaker 1: which I think was just choking on fishheads. But he
Speaker 1: did because yeah, because as we all know, tombstones always
Speaker 1: have the cause of death listed on the tombs. I
Speaker 1: figured go for it, you know, just to just to
Speaker 1: get get every every passer by a bit of just
Speaker 1: a little bit of context of like how it all,
Speaker 1: how the magic happened, way way more interesting than what
Speaker 1: we actually go with, which is like everybody has a
Speaker 1: beloved like song Father, like the funk out of here
Speaker 1: he tell us how they died. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: like Joey Clift date of birth, date of death. He
Speaker 1: got eight by an alligator, right, mild great? Absolutely wrecked
Speaker 1: by a dump truck. Hell yeah. So people get like
Speaker 1: even more just like not tragic dump truck, like absolutely
Speaker 1: by that gump truck. I don't even know what's in
Speaker 1: that coffin. It was so bad. Like my question walking
Speaker 1: past that would be like said, you get hit by it?
Speaker 1: Or did you get like ground up? Did you get
Speaker 1: like dumped into it? And trust into a cube? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got wrecked vision, you know. And then it's got
Speaker 1: like an etching on the tombstone of you getting pull out,
Speaker 1: but it's like a funny cartoon version of you with
Speaker 1: texas over ye and then my soul going hell yeah,
Speaker 1: playing a harp. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back. And so
Speaker 1: we've seen an increased enthusiasm from you know, municipalities, healthcare
Speaker 1: systems to ensure that people comply with vaccine mandates. In
Speaker 1: New York. There have been many stories of healthcare workers
Speaker 1: like trying to unite as anti bactors against these mandates
Speaker 1: and hoping that you know, staffing shortage would prevent them
Speaker 1: from being terminated. And this is the one time that
Speaker 1: I am team fuck fuck the unionization of of these
Speaker 1: employees because they they fucked around and found out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're finding out that a hospital
Speaker 1: is in fact a workplace where the medical profession is
Speaker 1: respected and the centuries of research that their entire fields
Speaker 1: rests upon they acknowledge. And you know, I'm also trying
Speaker 1: to keep patients and workers safe. And so the north
Speaker 1: Well Health System, they said four employees who refused to
Speaker 1: be vaccinated, they were fired. And the system there there
Speaker 1: this health care systems like on Long Island, and they
Speaker 1: said it's like more than seventy four thousand people are
Speaker 1: employed there. So ent of the employees were like, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I I I will be vaccinated. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think this also the other part of it is they're
Speaker 1: saying like, look, you're fired, but if you get your
Speaker 1: ship together and get vaccinated so you're not you know,
Speaker 1: an infection vector within a hospital building, then you're more
Speaker 1: than welcome to reapply for a position. And you know
Speaker 1: a lot of activists or i'll say active obviously use
Speaker 1: air quotes because I'm not sure what exactly the true
Speaker 1: American hero American Patriots will because it will be taps
Speaker 1: playing at their funeral. They choose to focus very narrowly,
Speaker 1: like on the fact that they're just being made to
Speaker 1: do something that I should have a choice in, when
Speaker 1: the fact is we're still living in a pandemic. People
Speaker 1: are still continuing to die needlessly, and being vaccinated helps
Speaker 1: us reduce the transmission of the virus and keeps people
Speaker 1: and vulnerable people safe, like young kids. And I just
Speaker 1: bring that up because I just read this story that
Speaker 1: this family in Virginia, their ten year old daughter passed
Speaker 1: away from COVID complications. She went from having a headache
Speaker 1: to passing away in five days and then they she
Speaker 1: got a positive test like posthumously, they like the result
Speaker 1: came in there like, oh, it was COVID complications. They
Speaker 1: found Like the one of the mothers was saying that
Speaker 1: her ten year old daughter was being made to be
Speaker 1: like the COVID like nurse for the the class. So
Speaker 1: if a kid was sick, they would shoot this little
Speaker 1: girl would walk them to the nurses office or if
Speaker 1: they had to, like they needed their books because like
Speaker 1: they were too sick to be at school, like this
Speaker 1: little girl was then bringing them the books. Now this
Speaker 1: is just being you know, this is this is what
Speaker 1: the parents are saying happen, and they're investigating it still,
Speaker 1: but still just shows you how vulnerable people are. Whether
Speaker 1: she got it there or another place, it's just so
Speaker 1: clear we're not doing every possible thing we can to
Speaker 1: keep people safe and also making it easy for people
Speaker 1: to do what is safe because we're still caught in
Speaker 1: this thing of like get back to work or you know,
Speaker 1: the pandemic is over selectively, Yeah, a few things on that.
Speaker 1: Something that's so interesting to me about like the the
Speaker 1: common thought for a lot of antivactors is we don't
Speaker 1: know what's in the vaccine, which yes we do. And
Speaker 1: also tell me what's in Mike's hard lemonade, like you know,
Speaker 1: if what's in every single thing you eat today? Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: It's like I feel like there's a level of like
Speaker 1: unearned suspicion about something thing that like maybe shouldn't exist,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing like the consequences of that. If you
Speaker 1: like ten year olds getting and getting COVID and dying
Speaker 1: of it, that's nuts, And like there is such this
Speaker 1: weird focus on like, you know, people getting fired over
Speaker 1: not getting vaccinated, whereas we're not focusing on the of
Speaker 1: people at that hospital that did get vaccinated. You know,
Speaker 1: like it's, uh, it is just this weird I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like looking for talking points and looking for facts
Speaker 1: that like that boost up your opinion on the thing
Speaker 1: with while ignoring the wide swath of facts that are
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. You know. Yeah, the don't I
Speaker 1: got right cification of America to quote the Rocky scene
Speaker 1: that Miles is a fan of, right, Sorry, in what
Speaker 1: contexts are you talking about? He's just lost when I
Speaker 1: got him from a boxing committee where they were like
Speaker 1: talking about the medical helped him, the max complications of
Speaker 1: him boxing again as like a seven year old. And
Speaker 1: then he turns around and says, don't I got rights,
Speaker 1: which suggests an understanding of right. Says I have the
Speaker 1: right to do whatever I want whenever I want. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: and that that seems to be the yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: that you there's nothing stopping you from like walking into
Speaker 1: the middle of the street ignoring across walk. But if
Speaker 1: you get like your ship wrecked by a dump truck. Alright,
Speaker 1: p Miles, Alright, then you should get that ship. It
Speaker 1: was so cool you can't even admitted. Bro, you should
Speaker 1: have seen that ship. That's me and heaven. That's That's
Speaker 1: what it says on the tombstone is he got wrecked
Speaker 1: by a dump truck dot dot dot. It was sick
Speaker 1: as ship. Seen that ship, bro, Yeah, but it's it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know it is. It is. Uh, Like I
Speaker 1: saw I heard a fact like kind of a thought
Speaker 1: on Twitter that like if we maintain our current vaccine rights,
Speaker 1: we will still be in a pandemic in or still
Speaker 1: be at the same level that we're at of lockdown
Speaker 1: until like that's nuts. That's like a good chunk of
Speaker 1: our lives to be like locked down into pandemic. And
Speaker 1: it's because so many people are not willing to get
Speaker 1: vaccinated or wear masks or do like any safety precautions
Speaker 1: on this like massive global pandemic that we're in. And yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad that hospitals are mandating people who
Speaker 1: work at hospitals to get vaccinated because like I don't
Speaker 1: want to catch COVID from a nurse if I come
Speaker 1: in with like a sprain toe or something, you know, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I like, hey, have you you want to follow
Speaker 1: my TikTok kid stuff, And I'm like, yes, I do
Speaker 1: also wear a mask. Okay, okay, fast, fair, that's fair here,
Speaker 1: So follow me first and then I'll put the mask on.
Speaker 1: Show me on your phone. No, no, no, I gotta
Speaker 1: be at the same time. All right, all right, okay, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: gentleman's agreement. Okay, it was literally like arguing that you
Speaker 1: have the right to drive drunk. Like it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're putting other people's lives in danger, you're putting your
Speaker 1: own life in danger. And even though that's the thing
Speaker 1: you want to do, it doesn't give you the right
Speaker 1: to do that. But yeah, it's like at a certain point,
Speaker 1: like I mean, this is like so much of the conversation, right,
Speaker 1: It's like some people are like, I have rights to
Speaker 1: do whatever I want whatever we live in society, you know,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, But like which one you do not
Speaker 1: you do not have the right to do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: That is not what's right in the constitution. And too
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we like like we we have to
Speaker 1: live together in a society, like we all live in
Speaker 1: cities together. We all live in communities together. And like,
Speaker 1: if you drive around drunk, that affects other people, you know, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, then you might want to move
Speaker 1: to a society where no one gives a funk about
Speaker 1: anyone else. That might be the one you're more interested in,
Speaker 1: because it's almost like they're trying to navigate with and well,
Speaker 1: a majority of people are doing the right thing, and
Speaker 1: so I'm using that to give myself like the basis
Speaker 1: to be well, it's probably not that bad. A lot
Speaker 1: of other people are safe, but this is what I
Speaker 1: want to do very narrowly. So this isn't a version
Speaker 1: of feeling free. Don't be bullied into not drunk driving, Okay,
Speaker 1: don't be bullied. Don't let the thought bullies, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: research right on Facebook, which speaking of Francis Halgan, which
Speaker 1: is how German people say Hulk Hogan, last name um
Speaker 1: has Yeah, I don't know, man, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: know what, keep it, keep it, I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: Come on now. Francis Hagan has now testified in front
Speaker 1: of Congress in like words that it seems like they
Speaker 1: might be able to understand based on their response, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, because I think this one for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, it feels this could be a slightly different
Speaker 1: moment as it relates to Facebook and talking Facebook on
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, because typically when the Senate halls Facebook up
Speaker 1: to the Hill for some just good old splaining, it's
Speaker 1: usually some very slick representative or a lawyer or like
Speaker 1: an alien form of Mark Zuckerberg like doing the talking
Speaker 1: and people that are like these are all people that
Speaker 1: are like well versed in obscuring like the sins of Facebook,
Speaker 1: like through their like rhetorical mash trey and just being like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I have to get back to you.
Speaker 1: But actually the way this product is, you know, it's
Speaker 1: all this just it's it's just a lot of sidestepping
Speaker 1: when hard questions are being asked, well yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and they're also explaining, like they're also doing this like
Speaker 1: sick explanation. That's like explanation to like octogenarians who don't
Speaker 1: know what computers are. Like that's part of it too,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, oh, a huge part. So there it's
Speaker 1: just very easy for them to go by because they'll
Speaker 1: be like, what's Finns so, and they're like that's not us, sir,
Speaker 1: You're confused, old man. Here's your apple sauce, and I
Speaker 1: think your tapioca is getting warm. It's like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: And they've just completely sidestepped to question, well, how again
Speaker 1: has come out here and just letting these dinosaurs know,
Speaker 1: very straightforward and very plain words from the beginning. So
Speaker 1: this is howgan, just coming to the senators, being very direct,
Speaker 1: straightforward and letting them know, hey, you know, um there,
Speaker 1: there's there's actual Let let me just say this in
Speaker 1: normal sentences, what is happening at Facebook? During my time
Speaker 1: at Facebook, I came to realize the devastating truth. Almost
Speaker 1: no one outside of Facebook knows what happens inside of Facebook.
Speaker 1: The company intentionally hides vital information from the public, from
Speaker 1: the U. S Government and from governments around the world.
Speaker 1: The documents I have provided to Congress proof that Facebook
Speaker 1: has repeatedly mislead the public about what its own research
Speaker 1: reveals about the safety of children, the efficacy of its
Speaker 1: artificial intel leigin systems, and it's role in spreading divisive
Speaker 1: and extreme messages. So that's that's that seems like an
Speaker 1: easy follow h just yeah, you' you're you're blowing the whistle.
Speaker 1: You're saying everything you thought you knew, you act in
Speaker 1: fact do not know because there is a policy there
Speaker 1: to keep as many people in the dark as possible.
Speaker 1: And that was sort of one of her first statements.
Speaker 1: And people are like, Okay, well, well what else is
Speaker 1: going on? What what what else can you can you
Speaker 1: tell us is happening? And you know, I think she
Speaker 1: said she stresses the same thing about this whole profits
Speaker 1: over people thing which we've seen constantly over and over again,
Speaker 1: which is that when push comes to shove, they will
Speaker 1: choose whatever they have to do to make money. That's it,
Speaker 1: that's all that, that's all that this company is gonna do.
Speaker 1: And again, just so for the for the elders in
Speaker 1: the back, in case you were understanding, like, let me
Speaker 1: just say, it's not just algorithms or things like that.
Speaker 1: This is the choices. These are the choices that are
Speaker 1: being made at Facebook. During my time at Facebook, first
Speaker 1: working as the lead product manager for Civic Misinformation and
Speaker 1: later on counter espionage, I saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts
Speaker 1: between its own profits and our safety. Facebook consistently resolved
Speaker 1: these conflicts in favor of its own profits, The result
Speaker 1: has been more division, more harm, more lies, more threats,
Speaker 1: and more combat. In some cases, this is this dangerous
Speaker 1: on life talk has led to actual violence that harms
Speaker 1: and even kills people. Yeah, surprises when it's it's not
Speaker 1: just uh like I mean, like in the industry that
Speaker 1: we work in, like we've experienced Facebook just you know,
Speaker 1: presumably just flat outlying about stuff in a way that
Speaker 1: like just destroys entire industries. Like like a lot of
Speaker 1: us worked in work or worked in like kind of
Speaker 1: the digital comedy space, you know, writing for you know,
Speaker 1: comedy websites who you know, when Facebook started allowing videos
Speaker 1: and our platform, they like goosed the numbers on all
Speaker 1: of their videos. So all of a sudden, you see
Speaker 1: somebody post a video from their kid's birthday party and
Speaker 1: then would look like it had like five million views
Speaker 1: or something like that. And then every comedy website was
Speaker 1: just like, oh, pivot to video only on Facebook. And
Speaker 1: then that turned out to be like just a horrible
Speaker 1: idea because Facebook just you know kind of tea roll
Speaker 1: past it. It's a view you're like, it isn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at my time, is certain companies the like the people
Speaker 1: who are running to promcheck. We love it just just
Speaker 1: because even if they don't watch it, says down there
Speaker 1: it was you three million times, and I'm like, god, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's something that like is it's you know, a
Speaker 1: big reason that like online sketch comedy is just not
Speaker 1: a thing anymore. Is like, because Facebook convinced all these
Speaker 1: places to pivot to video, they hired huge video teams,
Speaker 1: and this caused like too much overhead, which caused them
Speaker 1: to have to like shut down lay off all of
Speaker 1: their staffs because it turns out that like Facebook was
Speaker 1: goosing those numbers in the companies were seeing no off
Speaker 1: it from these huge video teams that they were starting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, if they'll like do you know,
Speaker 1: if they'll work in such a way that's self serving
Speaker 1: for that, then yeah, for sure. I'm sure Facebook, like
Speaker 1: you know, gooses things in other areas as this whistleblower
Speaker 1: definitely pointed out, you know, and I think you know,
Speaker 1: she's calling for I think like most people like transparency,
Speaker 1: like regulation oversight, because a real popular defense that Facebook
Speaker 1: you know, will deploy a lot of times, like you know,
Speaker 1: we don't really need any like regulation because we're not like,
Speaker 1: like this is not like an infrastructure people are using,
Speaker 1: Like it's people were trying to start our own trying
Speaker 1: to start a new world. Everybody cool ship. You know
Speaker 1: it's not infrastructure, but you know when all their whole
Speaker 1: ship went down for five hours on Monday, that certainly
Speaker 1: blew that argument up because it's became really clear because
Speaker 1: many people were like suddenly unable to communicate with people
Speaker 1: over what's app internationally, like many people do use what'sapp
Speaker 1: for or even like a lot of people who maybe do,
Speaker 1: they're like run a small business on Instagram. Suddenly like,
Speaker 1: I'm losing out on my livelihood because this thing went down.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people begin to like that is providing a lot
Speaker 1: of robust infrastructure for people to communicate or create a livelihood.
Speaker 1: So what it's still just this casual thing. My version
Speaker 1: of that, which I would say is equal in levels
Speaker 1: of stress and importance, is I have a pro wrestling
Speaker 1: group chat on Facebook, and then Facebook shutdown. I had
Speaker 1: to be like, Okay, what's everybody's phone numbers? Let's put
Speaker 1: everybody on a cell phone chat. So we have to
Speaker 1: like migrate the pro wrestling group chat text message for
Speaker 1: five hours just so we could like talk about the
Speaker 1: sweet wrestling news and rumors without like losing that infrastructure.
Speaker 1: So like, but but that is a real thing that
Speaker 1: is like just Facebook Messenger, Instagram Messenger and all that
Speaker 1: are like ways that businesses communicate at this point, and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: or just using shops through Instagram, like if you're just
Speaker 1: being like, hey, here's my bespoke whatever, whereas I'm you know,
Speaker 1: creating that. Facebook's a great place for people or Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Facebook has been a place where people have been
Speaker 1: able to like I'm actually making my living using this stuff.
Speaker 1: When I was working in the online comedy space, like
Speaker 1: there there was a slow but steady kind of change
Speaker 1: from things. You would get a lot of traffic from
Speaker 1: Facebook and then like they would start like kind of
Speaker 1: squeezing it down and squeezing it down. And then like
Speaker 1: I went to a symposium like put on by Facebook,
Speaker 1: you had to just like focus on Facebook because that's
Speaker 1: where so much of the traffic was coming from. And
Speaker 1: like the people were like, yeah, industry wide page placement
Speaker 1: is really the only thing that's working. And it was
Speaker 1: just like a given all of a sudden that like
Speaker 1: you just had to pay to get to distribute your
Speaker 1: content on on Facebook. So that's like another way that
Speaker 1: they just like took out any small content creat Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like if you have a Facebook page with a
Speaker 1: million followers and you post a video to it, usually,
Speaker 1: like pre this, it would show up in the new
Speaker 1: speeds of all million of your followers. Then Facebook started
Speaker 1: doing kind of like this thing where oh, it would
Speaker 1: only go to like ten percent of your followers and
Speaker 1: then based on like how it doesn't analytics, and then
Speaker 1: they would slowly parse it out to like the other million.
Speaker 1: Or you could give Facebook a hundred dollars and they
Speaker 1: would immediately put it out to a million people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of people you don't even know. And
Speaker 1: but that's you know, you're either paying them a shipload
Speaker 1: of money or you know, doing like a fucking rain dance,
Speaker 1: like to hope that the Facebook God smile on you
Speaker 1: that day and like tweak the algorithm in a way
Speaker 1: that makes it like a little bit fair to the
Speaker 1: little guy. But all of that to say that all
Speaker 1: publishers are still presumably like non podcast publishers I guess,
Speaker 1: are still presumably very folk used on like what Facebook's
Speaker 1: preferences are and I feel like that has to influence
Speaker 1: like what we see, like the the this story Miles
Speaker 1: that you put in here like just made me wonder
Speaker 1: about the fence to thing, which was like in and
Speaker 1: of itself like inherently funny, but the fact that that
Speaker 1: one as viral as it did and was sort of
Speaker 1: the thing that overshadowed or like that was like the
Speaker 1: main takeaway from that day of testimony was the cenator
Speaker 1: being like, what's a fence to? Can you not do
Speaker 1: any more fence to? Like I I have to feel
Speaker 1: like that people saw that that was getting a great
Speaker 1: response on Facebook, and that Facebook kind of encouraged that along,
Speaker 1: because why the funk wouldn't they? Sure? But I think also,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking at very cynically how we
Speaker 1: would at the Senate, it's just like, even organically I
Speaker 1: would look at that and go, this is the fucking problem.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to haul these people up here for answers
Speaker 1: and he's just getting he's wasting his breath getting explained
Speaker 1: like a thing that isn't necessarily consequential than the purpose
Speaker 1: of the here. But yeah, I mean, but yes that
Speaker 1: I think like they say. She goes on to say,
Speaker 1: we all live in a world that is being affected
Speaker 1: by Facebook, whether you are on there or not, there
Speaker 1: are many people that are so yeah to that point,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's there's an element to that. I just
Speaker 1: want to say quick side note on a Jack saying
Speaker 1: the term rain dance. I was like, it's like like like,
Speaker 1: I'm a Native person and I've like heard that phrase
Speaker 1: a lot. But I was like, wait, what did tribes
Speaker 1: really do that? Or is that just a thing that
Speaker 1: people say that tribes did? And I just googled it.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, shout out to the Zuni tribe.
Speaker 1: But the Southwest they did rain dances. Uh not not
Speaker 1: totally a thing that people just made up that native
Speaker 1: folks don't actually do. The Zuni tribe does it, So
Speaker 1: shout out the Zunis. Yeah, there you go. A teaching moment. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was teaching moment for me too, because I was
Speaker 1: just like, wait, I've only seen the stereotype of that,
Speaker 1: but is that a real thing? You know? Right right right.
Speaker 1: The The other part of this that it was very
Speaker 1: interesting was suddenly Richard Blumenthal, the famous man behind the Fence,
Speaker 1: to comment his energy was a lot different too, which
Speaker 1: I found to be again like things feel a little
Speaker 1: bit different about this hearing because now I think I'm
Speaker 1: sure Richard Blumenthal has read up now on everything Facebook.
Speaker 1: So it looks like you put a little color in
Speaker 1: his hair, but a little bit look a little I mean,
Speaker 1: he's always it's always been that form of denying. I'm
Speaker 1: aging Brown. I think the reason for his fire is
Speaker 1: that he has a Facebook page and he Facebook shutdown
Speaker 1: and he was just like, no, my Heathcliff means he's
Speaker 1: like they love ape. He was just like he was
Speaker 1: just like there was five hours where he couldn't read
Speaker 1: a garbage ape and he was panicking. Yeah, like his
Speaker 1: staffers were having to like make ones on paper. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh no, this has a logical punchline. That's not what
Speaker 1: garbage ape. Heathcliff's tooth is. On the other side, Keith
Speaker 1: Cliff is wearing a helmet that has a word on
Speaker 1: it that you can tract the logic of get out
Speaker 1: of here, right, So this is him saying he's coming
Speaker 1: with some way different energy rather than what's vins to
Speaker 1: He's like, Mark, get over here. Mark Zuckerberg ought to
Speaker 1: be looking at himself in the mirror today, and yet
Speaker 1: rather than taking responsibility and showing leadership, Mr Zuckerberg is
Speaker 1: going sailing. Is new modus opera endi No apologies, no admission,
Speaker 1: no action, nothing to see here, Mark Zuckerberg, you need
Speaker 1: to come before this committee. You need to explain two
Speaker 1: Francis Hogan, to us, to the world, and to the
Speaker 1: parents of America, what you were doing and why you
Speaker 1: did it. M hm, So listen, only about seven years
Speaker 1: too late, that's cool. But to that point, as you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give Bluementhal I'm not going to
Speaker 1: just start standing up applauding him because there's they they're
Speaker 1: they're able to do things up there, and Amy Clo
Speaker 1: which are She's also like, let me also let me
Speaker 1: also come in with a take onto why there's been
Speaker 1: this glacial pace in terms of us being able to
Speaker 1: regulate or have oversight over things like Facebook. We have
Speaker 1: done nothing when it comes to making the algorithms more transparent,
Speaker 1: allowing for the university research that you refer to. Why
Speaker 1: because Facebook and the other tech companies are throwing a
Speaker 1: bunch of money around this town and people are listening
Speaker 1: to them, we have done nothing significantly passed, although we
Speaker 1: are on a bipartisan basis working in the Antitrust Subcommittee
Speaker 1: to get something done. A consolidation, which you understand allows
Speaker 1: the dominant platforms um to control all this, like the
Speaker 1: bullies in the neighborhood buy out the companies that maybe
Speaker 1: could have competed with them, and did the bells and whistles.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's there's so many elements to this. You've
Speaker 1: got the lobbying parts of this where they're like they've
Speaker 1: bought people's votes. So that's an element of it, and
Speaker 1: we're trying to do something. But I don't know that
Speaker 1: this this I feel like at this point her words,
Speaker 1: Francis Hogan's words are just so direct and just powerful,
Speaker 1: like to these people that maybe this, this will inspire
Speaker 1: something different. There's also like these tech companies are getting
Speaker 1: so big. This is a story fromen but like Facebook
Speaker 1: and Amazon are building their own towns for their employees
Speaker 1: to live. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it's like there is
Speaker 1: just this weird level of like, yeah, we need to
Speaker 1: have some level of oversight on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all
Speaker 1: the hits, friends get the get the person who runs
Speaker 1: friends through in here unless there are a lot of
Speaker 1: memes about like the other platforms that kind of be
Speaker 1: like the spade to the back and be like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Yeah, Facebook, they get it together over there.
Speaker 1: You know, they're able to like get rid of things
Speaker 1: like like obscene like child pornography. They're very quickly able
Speaker 1: to like you know, get things like that off of
Speaker 1: the Internet. And then I think that's why a lot
Speaker 1: of people are there, like but for whatever, but white
Speaker 1: supremacy is just too lucrative, So that's why you want
Speaker 1: to just turn the other way. Because Halgan also said
Speaker 1: to that prior to the election, they like ramped up
Speaker 1: a lot of the controls to help curb a lot
Speaker 1: of misinformation and and just any just chaos around the
Speaker 1: election because they didn't want a replay of twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Or maybe they did but just to a lesser extent.
Speaker 1: But they said once the election happened, they fucking they
Speaker 1: took all those controls off, which really helped all the
Speaker 1: big lie misinformation really get a ton of interaction on
Speaker 1: Facebook because Facebook was trying to recoup the money they
Speaker 1: lost from doing the slightly responsible thing before the election.
Speaker 1: But it's also like the way that companies like Facebook.
Speaker 1: Profit are things called like it's engagement, like comments, shares, whatever.
Speaker 1: So like if you get into a Facebook argument with
Speaker 1: like somebody you went to high school with who like
Speaker 1: doesn't think that vaccines are real or whatever, like that's
Speaker 1: like Facebook wants that. And like there's also things that
Speaker 1: they can do with the algorithm to steer you in
Speaker 1: that direction of like seeing things that they know that
Speaker 1: you'll disagree with and comment on, so you'll start those
Speaker 1: Facebook arguments, which will increase the engagement on the piece
Speaker 1: or whatever. And like it is just this power that
Speaker 1: these companies have over like you know, like how we
Speaker 1: communicate as people. And yeah, it sure would be cool
Speaker 1: if somebody who didn't have profit in mind was like
Speaker 1: quit it right, Yeah, exactly, And you hope that like
Speaker 1: they would have people like Holgan help Congress understand what
Speaker 1: they can do and what they could do, rather than
Speaker 1: Richard Blumenthal asking his granddaughter like yeah, what what should happen?
Speaker 1: But that's why it's important that people like AOCD in
Speaker 1: Congress who are like in their thirties, you know, people
Speaker 1: who like have Instagram accounts and understand what this stuff is,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, rather than someone who's like I don't know.
Speaker 1: My staffers said I need one of these things. So
Speaker 1: I have that, and I have a TikTok, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is like them, like they have
Speaker 1: an email that their staffers check for them, you know,
Speaker 1: m hm right they Yeah, that's a really good point
Speaker 1: about the and like they put and put these benevolent
Speaker 1: seeming values into the or not even benevolent, but just
Speaker 1: harmless seeming values like engagement into the algorithm, and then
Speaker 1: that ends up leading to these outcomes that they can
Speaker 1: claim are unintentional. They're they're not putting like angry up
Speaker 1: the Facebook community like into the algorithm, but it's just engagement.
Speaker 1: But that the outcome of that, which may be unintended,
Speaker 1: but they're not doing anything to fix it, like, is
Speaker 1: that they just can't be trusted to ever do anything
Speaker 1: to fix it on their own it. Yeah, the only
Speaker 1: way it can be done is a regulation, right, and
Speaker 1: society is just all saying like, we'll make as much
Speaker 1: money as you can however you can, Like people be damned.
Speaker 1: I gotta say one of my favorite Facebook interactions to
Speaker 1: watch was a guy went to high school with This
Speaker 1: was probably I want to say, two years ago challenged
Speaker 1: another guy to a fist fight over Facebook, and like
Speaker 1: they were on the Facebook wall post, which I forget
Speaker 1: what it is about. It was probably just like the
Speaker 1: Mariners are bad or whatever, you know, because yeah, something
Speaker 1: like that. But it was like watching them try to
Speaker 1: plan having a fist fight with each other on a
Speaker 1: Facebook well was delight because it was just like, like,
Speaker 1: what time do you get off work? I gotta work
Speaker 1: at six pm. Let's eating this park? No, I actually
Speaker 1: I'm busy tonight. Let's do it. All your friends fight, bro? No,
Speaker 1: I know, I just have my daughters on on Fridays
Speaker 1: and Saturdays, and I too. Grown men in their thirties
Speaker 1: trying to plan a fist fight publicly over fake Facebook ruled.
Speaker 1: How were Thursdays for you, bitch? Yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: a lot of It was like a lot of that.
Speaker 1: It was like the new chef like, I can't do
Speaker 1: it during my lunch break and then I mean sales.
Speaker 1: If I come back all scraped up, I might lose
Speaker 1: my job. I'm not gonna risk that you. So, actually,
Speaker 1: on second thought, now that I'm thinking about that, let's
Speaker 1: leave Facebook on regulated. Yeah. One quick aside on the
Speaker 1: company towns thing, Joey that you just mentioned. So last
Speaker 1: week we talked about Amazon doing these company towns for
Speaker 1: sort of the laborers that make their business model possible.
Speaker 1: But I think you were referring to these Facebook and
Speaker 1: Google company towns that are more for like the executive
Speaker 1: class that they're building, that are going to be these
Speaker 1: you know, elysium style like really beautiful, you know, the
Speaker 1: way the Google campus was held up as like the
Speaker 1: best place to work because you had all these fucking
Speaker 1: chefs and the many ball pits and slides. Like, they're
Speaker 1: building these company towns that are like the next step
Speaker 1: in luxury and like you know, communal living. But really
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be these hives of like groupthink where
Speaker 1: which is really dangerous because these companies are you know,
Speaker 1: controlling our country from the top down, like in really
Speaker 1: profound ways, and so like, you know, the more you
Speaker 1: just get the like minded people at the top who
Speaker 1: have all the power just in their own like like
Speaker 1: literally literal bubble, the I feel like the worst it's
Speaker 1: going to get. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about Starbucks cups and
Speaker 1: we're back, and you know, the market this is actually
Speaker 1: a story that I noticed like five years ago that
Speaker 1: Starbucks collectible cups are a thing, because I was at
Speaker 1: a Starbucks and I think, I don't know why I
Speaker 1: was even looking at the collectible cups, but they were
Speaker 1: adamantly saying only one per customer, like you could only
Speaker 1: buy one per customer, and I was like, wait, what
Speaker 1: is what? He was like, it's sweeping these into a
Speaker 1: duffle bag and it's funny, and like, all right, would
Speaker 1: you say five years ago? I remember about five years ago.
Speaker 1: It was around the time too, and I would travel
Speaker 1: a lot from one of my jobs. One of my
Speaker 1: co workers would be like like whatever city I was in, like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you grab me like the cup um when you're there?
Speaker 1: And I'm like what, Like I don't I only have
Speaker 1: carry on and I don't put like a fucking like
Speaker 1: what And they were like please, like I'll give you
Speaker 1: all this money to do it. And I was like,
Speaker 1: because I just really wanted from Boston. I need They're
Speaker 1: like I need the Boston one and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll bring it back and they were so fucking grateful.
Speaker 1: They're like, you don't understand how hard this ship is
Speaker 1: to get blah blah blah blah. So I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I see this is this is like sneakers for
Speaker 1: white women. Yeah, this is the Starbucks scream drops for
Speaker 1: people in their forties. Got it? Yeah? And like I
Speaker 1: look and I like collectible ship. I'm definitely have a
Speaker 1: soft spot for nostalgia and things that are like commemorative
Speaker 1: for especially with things that it relates to, you know,
Speaker 1: my childhood or adult interests and you know, and I've
Speaker 1: even paid reseller prices for something like a sneaker or
Speaker 1: a vintage jersey or something like that, but it takes
Speaker 1: me a long time to resolve to do that because
Speaker 1: I just hate that. I just hate what reselling has done.
Speaker 1: Just two sneakers. And I've seen that evolution of it
Speaker 1: being like, hey, you go to a store to buy
Speaker 1: the thing you like and then you have it versus
Speaker 1: someone's gonna buy everything and then just fucking it's your
Speaker 1: back to the wall and be like how much will
Speaker 1: you pay for this dollars for Nikes? Is that what
Speaker 1: you want? And I'm like, god, I and I don't
Speaker 1: and I can't, so I will wear these crocs Tiva's instead.
Speaker 1: But last month, Starbucks started pulling out their new Halloween collection,
Speaker 1: and I guess every fall they have new limited dish
Speaker 1: uh seasonal merchandise, which like this year has like a
Speaker 1: glow in the dark spider web. Uh And wait, how
Speaker 1: people would you stab for that in the dark spin
Speaker 1: would you? Would you stab? Five people? Four people? How
Speaker 1: many people talking? I mean not to honor my iracketed friends?
Speaker 1: Eight people? And some of these people have come through.
Speaker 1: The reseller game is just out of control. People come
Speaker 1: in by out all the stock and then they resell
Speaker 1: them online at markups. These cups go for around between
Speaker 1: twenty and they're selling them for like two to three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Some people are selling the whole set for
Speaker 1: like dollars. And it's just interesting to watch this because
Speaker 1: like there's this article that sort of like taps into
Speaker 1: like the reddit community to see what they're saying, and
Speaker 1: their complaints sound exactly like what Sneaker has sounded like
Speaker 1: ten years ago, of like what the fund is going on,
Speaker 1: Like like you're not gonna drink out of this, You're
Speaker 1: just gonna put it on a mantle, Yeah right right
Speaker 1: exactly Like where people like where are your sneakers? You're
Speaker 1: not gonna drink out of that shoe. N try let
Speaker 1: me see k before. Yeah, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: are saying this is one person on Reddit quote, I'm
Speaker 1: from the Bay Area and every store here has wiped
Speaker 1: out and has been for the past week. I found
Speaker 1: one for a decent price online and made the person
Speaker 1: an offer. A couple of minutes later, they reject my
Speaker 1: offer and double the price. It's impossible to get any
Speaker 1: cups for these launches unless you pay two to four
Speaker 1: times the price. I went to a Starbucks order of
Speaker 1: the hot chocolate and they didn't have any cups. They
Speaker 1: just poured it into my hands. I can't even claim
Speaker 1: they burned it. It was very loo corn. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was the tea. The temperature was fine. Yeah. That's like
Speaker 1: I wonder how much us being you know, stuck in
Speaker 1: our homes is is furthering people as far as that
Speaker 1: stuff goes. I feel like there's a similar thing going
Speaker 1: on in like card collecting right now, where like it
Speaker 1: wasn't there a story over the summer, or like it
Speaker 1: was the thing over the summer of like people showing
Speaker 1: up at targets like the second that they open on
Speaker 1: like a Thursday morning because that's when the new Pokemon
Speaker 1: card dropped is or something like that, and people getting
Speaker 1: into like fist fights over like boxes of like football
Speaker 1: cards or whatever. You know, Like I think it might
Speaker 1: be one of those things where like because you know,
Speaker 1: like a lot of our social interactions are kind of
Speaker 1: like lessened right now. It's like one thing that we
Speaker 1: do have we can look forward to is like these
Speaker 1: Starbucks cups or Pokemon cards or sneakers or whatever, so
Speaker 1: we're like really hyper focusing on them. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think this it'll this will always kind of be,
Speaker 1: you know, a phenomenon on because I mean, like especially
Speaker 1: with card collecting, it seems like too there's like older
Speaker 1: millennials grew up collecting trading cards as kids and then
Speaker 1: kind of fell out of it now have more disposable
Speaker 1: income and spending money to do these things that they
Speaker 1: really liked his kids, the Pokemon stuff. I just see
Speaker 1: it like how any reseller looks at things. They look
Speaker 1: at something that people want. Most people don't care. It's
Speaker 1: just they know that the economics of it is such
Speaker 1: that if I buy a lot of these, I can
Speaker 1: really turn a profit by just being just quicker to
Speaker 1: the drop than other people. And you know the manufacturers
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, because it's like Starbucks is doing
Speaker 1: the exact thing like Nike or Adidas does, which is
Speaker 1: like create false scarcity, to create so much hype around
Speaker 1: every single drop that they'll they'll just fly off the
Speaker 1: shelf and you'll never have access inventory raise the profile
Speaker 1: of the next drop, because I doubt that they they
Speaker 1: care at all to be like, wow, I guess we
Speaker 1: should increase stock next year so people can everyone can
Speaker 1: joy the spider Web cup. Right now, They like, you're fired,
Speaker 1: I'm a Starbucks. You're fired for suggesting the point is
Speaker 1: to create the first line outside of a Starbucks since
Speaker 1: the early nineties, right, yeah, I mean they should just
Speaker 1: have baristas do what some sneaker shops will do, like
Speaker 1: to prevent resellers. They'll like put them on right now,
Speaker 1: Like if you buy them, you have to rock them out.
Speaker 1: You have to wear you have to wear this Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Starbucks cup on your feet out. Yeah. Just then be like, yo,
Speaker 1: you gotta drink a hot ass drink out of you
Speaker 1: right now, not that stock anymore. Take the tech. You
Speaker 1: better look like you're enjoying that drink too. Didn't you
Speaker 1: imagine like just like how they're sneaker head curious like
Speaker 1: the Starbuck cups purists and like hating on him in
Speaker 1: line to like look at this reseller ash, Yeah, somebody
Speaker 1: going in and being like seven hundred Boston Starbucks cups.
Speaker 1: It's like, I do wonder if hoarding type like symptoms
Speaker 1: are getting worse during the during the pandemic. And like
Speaker 1: you know, I do feel like agoraphobia, like my own,
Speaker 1: like just fear of like people and social anxiety has
Speaker 1: gotten like way worse just by not being around people
Speaker 1: in person. I do. I do wonder if like that
Speaker 1: is another symptom of it we might be saying. I
Speaker 1: want to say, for the record, Jack has five thousand
Speaker 1: Starbucks cups stacked up behind him right now. And this
Speaker 1: is this is an intervention. We know this is about you,
Speaker 1: one of each, one of each though, So don't you
Speaker 1: know I'm not really You're not of the Boston. I
Speaker 1: got doubles of the New York City. Actually I got triples.
Speaker 1: I got couples of that. I'll give you five hundred
Speaker 1: bucks for that Boston double, right, and all that has
Speaker 1: to be true or else nothing else I said is
Speaker 1: true reference that I think you should leave skits. Joey.
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure. It's been a pleasure having you
Speaker 1: as always. Where can people find you and follow you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for having me. Uh yeah, this is
Speaker 1: super fun. I'll always love being on the Daily SAT. Guys.

Speaker 1: can follow me on Instagram at Joey Cliff with like

Speaker 1: twelve year old took Joey Cliff with one eye. So
Speaker 1: I just got a deal and then, um, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I gotta gotta shout out. I'm here to promote. I
Speaker 1: just released a new animated short with Comedy Central. I
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit the top of the show.
Speaker 1: It's called how to Cope with Your Team Changing. It's
Speaker 1: Native American mascot. It's a comedy p s a about
Speaker 1: sports teams who just changed their weird native mascot. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians, Washington football team, and like thousands of others,
Speaker 1: I wrote it, directed it, starring it. It's also featuring
Speaker 1: voices from Chanlenge Meeting and Tyler Flare from Ruthroot Falls
Speaker 1: and John Timothy from Spear Rangers. So it's got an
Speaker 1: all Native voice guest too, and that's like dope as ship.
Speaker 1: So how you can check it out on all of
Speaker 1: Comedy Central social media platforms. Follow me on Twitter. I'm
Speaker 1: posting it about a ton but yeah, I watch It's
Speaker 1: super funny video, awesome necessary viewing. I'm sure I wonder
Speaker 1: how many people will watch it and is it? Is it?
Speaker 1: It's not like a p s A. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like a comedy shot. It's like an animated Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Just there's always like that room where there's some person
Speaker 1: who thinks it's real, you know, like, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: think there's potential for that some elderly person Cleveland to
Speaker 1: be like this tells you by some of the comments,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people. Are you love to
Speaker 1: see it? Is there a tweet or some of the
Speaker 1: work of social media you've been enjoying? So I would
Speaker 1: say my favorite tweet right now is a tweet that
Speaker 1: I just saw this morning from a super funny Native
Speaker 1: comedian named Caitlin Jeffers. And the tweet, I think it
Speaker 1: LIKELI literally tweet it this morning is my favorite new
Speaker 1: ethnic stereotype is that I'm somehow involved with Reservation Dogs
Speaker 1: and Reservation Dogs super funny native TV show or Native
Speaker 1: created TV show on effects created by stone Hard Joe's
Speaker 1: got on NATVE Writer's Room. But I saw that and
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, the amount of friends who have like
Speaker 1: texted me congratulations about Reservation Dogs is like hilarious and
Speaker 1: like maybe all racist because it's like, I do not
Speaker 1: work on that show. I have not worked on that show.
Speaker 1: I'm friends with a lot of people who work on
Speaker 1: that show. They're all great, the show is really good.
Speaker 1: You should check it out. But it's just like every
Speaker 1: Native person you know in Hollywood doesn't work on reservation
Speaker 1: it's that or they're like you're watching that right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And the answer it's like, yes, yes, I'm watching it
Speaker 1: because it's feel good but also good to assume that
Speaker 1: just come at me with that like in years Reservation Dogs,
Speaker 1: huh yeah. Man. That's like when that anime Yasca came
Speaker 1: out about the Black Samurai and people are like, dude,
Speaker 1: did you work on this? Like have you seen? Like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's thank you for knowing I'm black in Japanese,
Speaker 1: but no, I did not work on the anime yet
Speaker 1: it is this this weird thing where like, um, shortly
Speaker 1: after the election, the election results came in and I
Speaker 1: think the Navajo and Apache reservations in Arizona voted like
Speaker 1: Biden for Biden or whatever, which is super cool and
Speaker 1: it's great that like the you know that folks on
Speaker 1: those rests are like politically active. But I had a
Speaker 1: lot of non natives just text me like the graphic
Speaker 1: of like the Navajo res voting rates, and it's like,
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to you in seven years, dude. Like
Speaker 1: it's like cool that you know I'm Native and want
Speaker 1: to share a native thing with me, but also it's
Speaker 1: weird that you haven't talked to me in ten years
Speaker 1: and this is your first reach out being like congrats, bro.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you don't. You don't have to reduce
Speaker 1: my entire identity down to this one thing, right right right,
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna do it, reduce it to Garfield
Speaker 1: like it's supposed to. Yeah, exactly, miles, where can people
Speaker 1: find you with tweet you've been enjoying check me out
Speaker 1: on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray. And also
Speaker 1: the other show, four Twenty Day Fiance was Sophia Alexandra,

Speaker 1: Some tweets are like first and from the Onion app,
Speaker 1: the in says Roger Goodell increasingly worried NFL players at
Speaker 1: risk of gaining sentience. Uh, and his look is very concerned.
Speaker 1: And then another one from Tests of Violet at Tests
Speaker 1: of Violet tweeted what if the Internet closed two days
Speaker 1: a week? And I was like, yeah, I mean yeah, interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see some tweets I've been enjoying. Kai Kai Choice tweeted,
Speaker 1: Dear Evan Hanson, can you buy us alcohol for prom
Speaker 1: the past thing of that? And Rob Catholic Dad for
Speaker 1: twenty I didn't realize that was their name, but they
Speaker 1: said Twitter right now kind of as the vibe of
Speaker 1: when they turned the lights off during an assembly and
Speaker 1: everyone starts making noises when Facebook was down like that.
Speaker 1: I thought that was appropriate. Also, that was such a
Speaker 1: weird like response that happened every time. Yeah, where it's
Speaker 1: like the lights turned off before everybody's eyes focused, everybody
Speaker 1: like kind of makes noises because you can get away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I gotta shout out my tweet Caitlin Jeffer as
Speaker 1: you can follow her at jeffer not on Twitter. She's great.
Speaker 1: There you go. And then another one about the time
Speaker 1: during our history when Facebook was down two nights ago.
Speaker 1: It was Corey parentheses Harvard graduate. I'm loving these Twitter names, tweeted.
Speaker 1: Facebook is down, so I'm having to improvise, and then
