Speaker 1: got the best of you. But I just keep coming
Speaker 1: back incessantly. Oh what do they keep bringing me back
Speaker 1: on the show? Because I'm funny as fuck even when
Speaker 1: I make you bitch just mad. I just improvised that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I was trying to get funny with you guys,
Speaker 1: very funny. I was like, is I don't have syllables? Yes?
Speaker 1: I got there. No, you got it. I used to.
Speaker 1: And then I embarrassed myself at a Tell you you
Speaker 1: are just playing the qualities of someone who does freestyle
Speaker 1: because you're like, let me fift these syllables. And I
Speaker 1: got it. I got this and I landed the plane.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I was here in a cipher with
Speaker 1: a backpack on. I was nervous. Halfway through. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think I'm not gonna get it. You embarrassed yourself
Speaker 1: at a T quality show. Yeah, they tell it was late.
Speaker 1: Also fun tell him quality. He's like really piece of
Speaker 1: ship online to women. But anyways, he was hella late
Speaker 1: at a show in Medesta. This was the years ago,
Speaker 1: probably like fifteen years ago maybe, and he was hell
Speaker 1: of late. So they were just like letting people freestyle
Speaker 1: on stage. Shout out to the bat. But it was
Speaker 1: hell of funny because I this used to be back
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I might have already been doing comedy.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but this was back when, like if
Speaker 1: I was ever out anywhere at like a show or something,
Speaker 1: and there was no women performing, I would fucking insertain myself.
Speaker 1: I didn't give a funk what my skill level was.
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't give a funk. And that
Speaker 1: was one of those situations like just guys freestyling and
Speaker 1: they're not even good and they're kind of looking six.
Speaker 1: So I went on stage and people were just got
Speaker 1: hiped because I was a woman on stage. It was ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but it was not good. Do you remember the beat
Speaker 1: that was playing? I don't. I have a really cool
Speaker 1: picture though I looked like a badass, Like would you
Speaker 1: like rocking the mic? Yeah, like my hand is up
Speaker 1: like it was on Facebook. I don't know where it's anymore.
Speaker 1: But it was a cool big oh yes, fucking cool.
Speaker 1: That is the best retirement from freestyle. But I could POSI,
Speaker 1: you know what. I also freestyle at a but you
Speaker 1: know one of those white kids that have like UCB
Speaker 1: rap shows. It was one of those type things, yeah,
Speaker 1: like skinner and maybe maybe it was that and they
Speaker 1: had me on and I kind of like pretty write
Speaker 1: a really good rap obviously, but like, uh, free style.
Speaker 1: But what's funny is I wasn't even that good. But
Speaker 1: I embarrassed over my eagle that I made him look
Speaker 1: bad and I was better than him, and that uh
Speaker 1: fun with people a little bit, and I said I
Speaker 1: insulted him or something. I forget what I said. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just made fun of him and have
Speaker 1: the healing session. All right, Marcela, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: a couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna check
Speaker 1: back in with Christie Nome and her stance on nepotism.
Speaker 1: It's just just a good old fashioned story of local nepotism.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about We'll do a piece of good news.
Speaker 1: The world's oldest rainforest was just handed back to its
Speaker 1: indigenous owners, so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the Pandora papers. Of course, we will ask whether Facebook
Speaker 1: is in trouble and what that means for the rest
Speaker 1: of us. All of that, we might even get to
Speaker 1: Diana the Musical. You have to I off the strength
Speaker 1: of it. I caught the first act and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we taught. We're definitely we might just
Speaker 1: talk about Diana the Musical then of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Marcella, we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history. I had to
Speaker 1: google San Francisco Fleet Week because I didn't know what
Speaker 1: the funk that was. And um, I'm in Modesto, California
Speaker 1: right now, and we've been having these I've just been
Speaker 1: me and my brother had been noticing these little like
Speaker 1: cute little planes and like multiple planes at once for
Speaker 1: just criss crossing. And I was like, what the fund
Speaker 1: is going on? And then my friend who lives in
Speaker 1: San Francisco was like, it's fleet Week and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the fund is Fleet Week? And then I put
Speaker 1: the thoughts together once I hit the Google. I didn't
Speaker 1: read about it because I don't give a ship. It
Speaker 1: just feels like a waste of money. Oh yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that's happening this week and they are practicing
Speaker 1: in Medesto, California, So what what is it? It's when
Speaker 1: all the air shows or some stupid but it's like
Speaker 1: a thing where like a lot of the like Navy people,
Speaker 1: coast guard, like ship based military like come to town. Hm.
Speaker 1: It's it's been a thing for like a minute. But
Speaker 1: and then they'll have air shows and ship It's just
Speaker 1: kind of yo, we're here, we're in the city, holes
Speaker 1: all over the city, but they're using the money for
Speaker 1: a fucking fleet week, right. I associated with like old timey,
Speaker 1: like a bunch of sailors in their in their whites,
Speaker 1: just like walking around and exactly causing trouble, getting into
Speaker 1: fights and bars on the Lower East Side or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that happens, and then they have a little Blue Angels,
Speaker 1: you know, the party going on there too. It's one
Speaker 1: of those traditions that feels really childish. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think they need to pick one. Why Why why are
Speaker 1: the planes isn't that aren't they supposed to be on
Speaker 1: the water. What's happening because they're launched from the aircraft
Speaker 1: carrict Yeah whatever, no military expert, but I mean that's
Speaker 1: a good thing, right, I'm sure gonna I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: hate mail for mentioning that, right something to be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I served and it's a very important tradition. I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of the people that served and listened
Speaker 1: to the show, like they come through with very enlightening
Speaker 1: opinions on They're like, yeah, this is what's sucked up
Speaker 1: about them? The here and like, thank you for that,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be like it adds millions of dollars
Speaker 1: to the local economy. I feel like that's the Ted Cruise.
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise is a big fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does,
Speaker 1: like the Daily Psychist. Weird. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Okay? I actually thought about this one because
Speaker 1: I know I'm not always you know, very good at this.
Speaker 1: I think you're one of the greats. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: think that nineties movies are overrated in terms of content.
Speaker 1: You know, you're like, oh, that used me my favorite movie,
Speaker 1: and you watch and you're like, they're being transphoabic, they're
Speaker 1: being homophobic. This is like all this movie is sexism,
Speaker 1: I mean, and and racism and all the isms and
Speaker 1: then and so like the nostalgialized and like you enjoyed
Speaker 1: it as a little kid. You know. I would argue
Speaker 1: that the only movie that stands a test of time
Speaker 1: which is an eighties movie is Labyrinth, but that has
Speaker 1: more to do with David's balls. So, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: always think like nineties like a Spin Tour a great
Speaker 1: example of something that like back You're likely tranic, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, and we were kids enjoying it, like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gross and it's the worst case of hemorrhoids anyone
Speaker 1: has ever seen. And then you're like then you get old,
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? What is this?
Speaker 1: And for a while I didn't even connect the two
Speaker 1: until I I'm much older. I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe the the character was the iron horns,
Speaker 1: shit or pants, and I was just like, no concept
Speaker 1: of anything else. And then you get only like, oh, whoa,
Speaker 1: but see that's how they fucking infiltrate your brain, and
Speaker 1: like you don't even realize why you're transphobic when you like,
Speaker 1: when you're a teenager, you know, just like why my
Speaker 1: suit and it's like, dude, the images are therapins you
Speaker 1: were a kid, So that's overrated. What I think it's
Speaker 1: underrated about nineties movies is the length. When can we
Speaker 1: go back to hour and a half movies in theaters?
Speaker 1: Because these stories are too long. They just they don't
Speaker 1: know how to edit down anymore. And that I don't
Speaker 1: even know. I couldn't even tell you. It's just everything.
Speaker 1: It feels like they're just too long because you know,
Speaker 1: especially especially as someone in the industry. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: how did does not get cut out? It's pointless. Even
Speaker 1: even going down to shows like I've been watching The
Speaker 1: Morning Show and I'm like, this should not be an hour.
Speaker 1: These scenes could be so much shorter. They just focused
Speaker 1: on the editing. So I think the length of ship
Speaker 1: is too long. Yeah, that's kind of because like I
Speaker 1: remember over the weekend, I was talking to Anna about
Speaker 1: the Sopranos movie and she's like, oh, it's three hours,
Speaker 1: and I said, what the fuck? Yeah, exactly hours. And
Speaker 1: I immediately was like having to have this like crossroads,
Speaker 1: and like, I don't, I'll never don't. It's very hard
Speaker 1: for me to say I'm gonna give you three hours
Speaker 1: just like that, even though I will casually sit down
Speaker 1: and watch like nine episodes of a reality show. Next thing,
Speaker 1: I know, it's, you know, three in the morning, but
Speaker 1: so real quick. I was just about to bring that
Speaker 1: same thing up, but it looks like it's a it's
Speaker 1: just two hours. So God just shows you how I'm
Speaker 1: want a hair trigger when it comes to long movies.
Speaker 1: Hours is still long for a movie? Yeah, two hours
Speaker 1: is the most is the most absolute peak. I feel
Speaker 1: like really. I think that's still too but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like everything can be shortened down a little bit. Sure,
Speaker 1: I doesn't feel like if it's if it is over
Speaker 1: two hours, just like just make a series, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like The Irishman? How long was that? That was over
Speaker 1: three hours after and you felt like an eternity. It
Speaker 1: felt like a fucking lifetime. I mean. The other thing
Speaker 1: is like part of the reason I don't even watch
Speaker 1: some of these things is because they're too long, and like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit down and watch this this
Speaker 1: is they're not going to get it from me and
Speaker 1: my attention to man, maybe that shout out to a
Speaker 1: d h D. I mean, maybe it's that, but um,
Speaker 1: I just it's a movie. The Irishman is three and
Speaker 1: a half hours long, which one The Irishman for what for?
Speaker 1: What to watch an Irishman? No, thank you? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: see plenty of those. Yeah. The nineties thing is really
Speaker 1: funny too, because like, even like when I watched The Office, right,
Speaker 1: there's times I love The Office, Like I've watched it
Speaker 1: so many times, I can fucking I can say every
Speaker 1: line from that show. But then there's a lot of
Speaker 1: nuance in it. Where like you just see a lot
Speaker 1: of casual ignorance just to be kind of like skirted
Speaker 1: when like when I'm like, now, like I didn't know
Speaker 1: you all should did that right there, Please do that
Speaker 1: for the good of society, or even like in a
Speaker 1: lot of nineties films too, when I go back and
Speaker 1: watch it really does have you have a kind of
Speaker 1: a moment where like I'm not actually enjoying watching this
Speaker 1: because I'm I've just gained more experience and empathy over
Speaker 1: the years, but I also just love the memory though
Speaker 1: of like that time just me eating an ice cream
Speaker 1: watching it, but not just that because I think about
Speaker 1: how like I can still watch Seinfeld and like you know,
Speaker 1: Elaine pushes their asses on sexism, and like even like
Speaker 1: the whole like the gay episode, un if there's anything
Speaker 1: wrong with that. I mean that was the nineties, so
Speaker 1: it's like it's proof that that that those ideologies were
Speaker 1: already existing on both ends, but it was like who
Speaker 1: was making what, So especially when I watched Seinfeld, I'm like,
Speaker 1: so it is possible so that some of the people
Speaker 1: didn't know they just didn't give a ship, like they
Speaker 1: really just leading into their their is ms, and it
Speaker 1: and it shows when you watch anything especially from the nineties. Yes,
Speaker 1: Seinfeld is going to be When when does that? Like Netflix?
Speaker 1: Right now? Yeah? I think it was yesterday, two days ago. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's back, baby, I'm ready. Is that? Do you think
Speaker 1: that that's going to have like the resurgence to like
Speaker 1: Friends or The Office had, like where people because I
Speaker 1: do feel like it was so huge at that time
Speaker 1: and now younger people like don't really funk with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: a good question. I mean it's been on Who this
Speaker 1: whole time, so it's not like people didn't have access
Speaker 1: to it, and uh, I don't know. I think I
Speaker 1: think a lot of young people who just see four
Speaker 1: white faces and they're like I'm not going to watch this,
Speaker 1: which is understandable, But you're right, Friends had a little resurgence.
Speaker 1: I just I don't think it would be possible because
Speaker 1: of the whole Michael Richards incident that has really followed them.
Speaker 1: And I just don't think like Julia Louie Dreyfus would
Speaker 1: be down anyway. It's just like for what. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: also like Seinfeld isn't the best, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: like his politics are his stand up has gotten like
Speaker 1: so fucking bad. I mean his stand up wasn't great
Speaker 1: to begin with. I mean it was funny to me
Speaker 1: because I was twelve. I watched it, you know, but
Speaker 1: like now it's like, this isn't even funny. But you
Speaker 1: can see why working as a team can make a
Speaker 1: bit funnier, you know, like because some of his bits
Speaker 1: were like the premises were, You're like, okay, this is interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Podcat, Goldweight, fucking I guess they hate
Speaker 1: each other. I did a show where he was talking ship.
Speaker 1: It was so funny. I guess he spent at night
Speaker 1: He's calling Seinfeld's comedy pedestri. Oh my god, he was
Speaker 1: talking ship at the one show we were all together
Speaker 1: and I loved everything. It was right. I remember how
Speaker 1: comedians and cars getting coffee, the whole Bridget thing, and
Speaker 1: they edited out and it was Bobcat. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you guys heard it was. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: One of the episodes Bridget, Everett and Seinfeld are talking
Speaker 1: about a comic but it gets edited and and Jerry
Speaker 1: expresses how much he doesn't like this person, which is
Speaker 1: not like him. He never probably ships on anybody, and
Speaker 1: so uh like people I don't know. The Internet did
Speaker 1: its thing and they figured out that it was Bobcat.
Speaker 1: And then Bob Kat was talking about it on stage
Speaker 1: like I performed with him, like a few months after
Speaker 1: that ship went down. I don't know what season it was.
Speaker 1: He was the second or third season of Comedians and
Speaker 1: Cars that Bridgetts on, and um, yeah, he was just
Speaker 1: talking about him and it was so funny. And I
Speaker 1: love Seinfeld, I love the TV show, and I loved
Speaker 1: the stand up back in the day. I don't love
Speaker 1: it anymore. Um. I was actually got into a debate
Speaker 1: with an older comic about it because I'm like, he's
Speaker 1: not that funny anymore, and she was like, but he is,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, no, no no, he's doing it the
Speaker 1: same thing, exact same thing he did in the nineties,
Speaker 1: and it's not funny anymore. And it really wasn't funny
Speaker 1: to begin with, but at the time it was like,
Speaker 1: quote unquote innovative. You know what's the deal with even
Speaker 1: Bobcat move fast from like thank you exactly like yo
Speaker 1: that she was killing though, but it was he had
Speaker 1: a vision and I'm like and I've I've yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been such a huge fanish yeah and so, And you're right,
Speaker 1: though he has evolved. He's a different comic than he
Speaker 1: was back then, but he's still very funny. But you're right,
Speaker 1: if you're not involve as a comic, you're you're not
Speaker 1: because I mean, imagine him doing that ship now. I
Speaker 1: mean I would love it for the nostalgia, like if
Speaker 1: you brought it back for like one show, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. But if he can if he was like
Speaker 1: he never got past that, I think people be like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And he has a good sense of
Speaker 1: humor about it too, because I like, I mentioned to
Speaker 1: my mom because I've done multiple shows with him, and
Speaker 1: I mentioned it to my mom and she like did
Speaker 1: the voice and it was so funny, and I did
Speaker 1: it in front of him on stage and he fucking
Speaker 1: busted up laughing. It was just that thing of like,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how we associate him with and I'm
Speaker 1: glad he doesn't like look down on it, you know,
Speaker 1: right right right. I feel like Seinfeld's sense of humor
Speaker 1: has like is kind of locked in where it was
Speaker 1: like at the there's that like theory that like famous
Speaker 1: people like stop evolving at the peak of their fame,
Speaker 1: because that's just like the most adulation they've ever gotten.
Speaker 1: And also they kind of get surrounded by people who
Speaker 1: are are just telling them whatever they want to hear.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, first Seinfeld, that's it's like Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's sense of fashion. It's just like, that's it's going
Speaker 1: to be forever. He's not like on a program where
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, like access is bad. He's like, why
Speaker 1: don't you have a Mercedes. That's the only episode I
Speaker 1: saw that show is with Zak Alfadakis and who was like,
Speaker 1: your house sucks. I was like, yeah, I just thought
Speaker 1: you would have lived in a nicer house. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's the one that evolved the least for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back to talk about some news. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and Christie Nome is defending herself from nepotism accusations by
Speaker 1: just like admitting she did nepotism kind of like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe I did that ship, but not what you think, right. So,
Speaker 1: ye know, she's been in the news for last week.
Speaker 1: That story came out the rumor that she was sleeping
Speaker 1: with Korey Lewandowski from Trump World, like they were having
Speaker 1: an affair, and then she's like, I love my husband whatever.
Speaker 1: She's like, We've raised god fearing children together. I'm off
Speaker 1: this like this is a bad rumor. And people were like, wow,
Speaker 1: okay that by addressing it it seems a little bit
Speaker 1: more guilty. But you, Christie, you gotta do you. And
Speaker 1: now she's like, over the last you know, two weeks
Speaker 1: or so, this nepotism thing has been getting louder and
Speaker 1: louder and louder. And because here's the deal. You know,
Speaker 1: her daughter just like about two years ago, she wanted
Speaker 1: to be a real estate appraiser, but you know, like
Speaker 1: the tests and certifications were just like so unfair that
Speaker 1: the board denied her application and certification. And the state
Speaker 1: says that they will, like in order to have your
Speaker 1: certification denied, it's denied when quote an applicants work samples
Speaker 1: don't meet minimum compliance with national standards. I mean, try
Speaker 1: to imagine how bad her application must have been for
Speaker 1: her to not get the affortable in the first place,
Speaker 1: when her mom is Christie. First of all, the application
Speaker 1: was in kraon. I don't know if you guys, it
Speaker 1: must have been. It must have literally been in Graham.
Speaker 1: He's like you someone else's application on top of this
Speaker 1: with crayon, like it's not even your name. Miss oh okay.
Speaker 1: So that's all these biases and things I got to
Speaker 1: overcome now, uh And I mean, look, no shade too.
Speaker 1: You know, real estate applications, it seems fairly straightforward to
Speaker 1: get licensed. I know an appraise like this specific certification
Speaker 1: might be a little more specific. I'm sure, however, it's
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, but not the not her.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't like this because the moment that they denied this,
Speaker 1: the meeting that you're about to describe, was like said
Speaker 1: in motion, and they had to have known that like
Speaker 1: they had. There was only one option, So the certification denied.
Speaker 1: Governor Mommy coming through and demand demanded a fucking Sopranos styles.
Speaker 1: Sit down with Sherry Brand, who is the manager of
Speaker 1: the appraiser certification program, her direct supervisor, and the state
Speaker 1: Secretary of Labor and talk to your daughter. And my
Speaker 1: daughter was there. I do like that she did. Let
Speaker 1: me talk to your manager with and your direct supervisor.
Speaker 1: I need to speak to everyone's manager, So who's your manager? Okay,
Speaker 1: their manager as well, and who's yours too. I just
Speaker 1: thought that she she did all that when she could
Speaker 1: have just hired somebody to fill out the application. And
Speaker 1: you know, like you know what you mean, like there's
Speaker 1: so many ways you could have really played the system
Speaker 1: if you wanted to, you know, just trying to do
Speaker 1: it the right way more so, yeah, failing spectacularly and
Speaker 1: then having her mother abused the office, the power of
Speaker 1: her office to get this done. So oddly enough, a
Speaker 1: couple of months after that meeting, boom, she's certified, baby
Speaker 1: certified and is ready to start a praising a praise
Speaker 1: the Lord. But it is not nepotism. And Christie Nome
Speaker 1: did a vertical video apology, so you know she's fucking
Speaker 1: serious about this. So this is Governor Nomes self tape.
Speaker 1: It wasn't nepotism, but very listening, very closely, how she
Speaker 1: just even lets this unfold, and I wanted to take
Speaker 1: a second to set the record straight. I never once
Speaker 1: asked for special treatment for Cassidy. She is my daughter
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of her. I raised her to accomplish
Speaker 1: things on her own. Just like my parents raised me.
Speaker 1: Other appraisers went through the exact same process that Cassidy
Speaker 1: did right here, And I'll be honest, my administration started
Speaker 1: fixing that process and it was way too difficult. Appraisers
Speaker 1: weren't getting certified, and celt Dakota is having to wait
Speaker 1: much longer to buy a home than another stage. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't even care about the state goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't do nothing. However, we have the problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which it was way too hard, way too difficult. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: did you is that a direct quoe from your daughter?
Speaker 1: It's way too difficult. I don't diffucus application runs an
Speaker 1: enfel out all. There is nothing, Harry, I need to
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. And your manager and her manager to
Speaker 1: this is thank you think Yeah, I got a baby.
Speaker 1: I know, honey, but I can't believe they made you read.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they don't know the difference between nepotism
Speaker 1: and insects. That's why she's like, it's not nepotism. That's like, lady,
Speaker 1: do you even know? Because you know, it sounds like
Speaker 1: she doesn't know what nepotism is. It's really what I mean,
Speaker 1: especially when you then go on to say, however, we
Speaker 1: did have to fix some problems over in that place
Speaker 1: that made my daughter upset. Okay, she's like, y'all, nepotism
Speaker 1: is disgusting, and that's why obviously I support abortions in
Speaker 1: the case of rape and nepotism, right, And I also
Speaker 1: love that you can see the ring light in her
Speaker 1: eyes and the video that's my favorite, when you're just
Speaker 1: like and the glasses, did you? Glasses? That's what I
Speaker 1: call them, you know, it's an apology when someone who's
Speaker 1: not normally wearing glasses puts the glasses on or around
Speaker 1: their head to kind of I think it evokes that
Speaker 1: old things like Batman when the jokers like you wouldn't
Speaker 1: punch a guy with glasses, which funny. What a mess.
Speaker 1: Let me just take a break from all this work
Speaker 1: I'm doing with my glasses to put them up on
Speaker 1: the top of my apologize. You guys are a distraction
Speaker 1: from the She definitely took more time on hair and
Speaker 1: makeup than she did on the apology. Yeah, isn't there,
Speaker 1: But it's just this is why it's so bad. You
Speaker 1: won't believe how long it takes to buy somebody to
Speaker 1: buy a house in South Dakota because there's no appraisers.
Speaker 1: I mean, really, what I'm trying to do? She goes
Speaker 1: on to be like, I need to get more young
Speaker 1: people involved in this to give them opportunities, because there
Speaker 1: shouldn't be so many obstacles to opportunity. Please don't look
Speaker 1: at my policies on education funding or things as it
Speaker 1: relates to reservations. But anyway, that's what I believe us.
Speaker 1: It's like the classic white feminism story, right, Like they
Speaker 1: fucking want to adjust it for them and they think
Speaker 1: that that's helping everybody. Well yeah, or use that very
Speaker 1: narrow like lens to say, like the version of what
Speaker 1: is being experienced now is actually an oppressive force that
Speaker 1: we're trying to counteract. Versus my daughter is ill prepared.
Speaker 1: I probably raised her as such where whenever she had
Speaker 1: a problem, Mom would solve it without her having to
Speaker 1: learn a lesson, which has created runaway momentum for this
Speaker 1: baby adult who I've raised now, who now screams when
Speaker 1: they don't get their appraisers. Oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: thought of I've had My mom helped me on one
Speaker 1: thing once when I was in high school. I think
Speaker 1: we had to. We had to carve out the fucking
Speaker 1: should the sphinx, like one of those from soap and yes,
Speaker 1: I was trying to do it right and I was like, Mom,
Speaker 1: can you help me? And she was like yeah, and
Speaker 1: then she started doing it and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me and she was like, no, let me, and
Speaker 1: she finished it. I didn't want her to. She just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you're gonna mess this up. And I
Speaker 1: worked really hard on the back, so now I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna do the whole face and I was like and
Speaker 1: then yeah. I mean we saved it. And to this
Speaker 1: day when I look at him, just like mmmm, I
Speaker 1: will never ask that woman for help again. She just
Speaker 1: looking snatched it out of my hands. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: so weird when your parents are just like, let me
Speaker 1: do this thing for you, and you're like, but this
Speaker 1: just has to do with my school, like the opportunity, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me fail on my own. No, because I gotta
Speaker 1: show you. Mom still kinta with an exact knife in
Speaker 1: a bar of dial So funny, but we still have it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll see it and I'm just like, this doesn't
Speaker 1: even mine. But she was like, you remember that when
Speaker 1: you made that. I was like, I didn't make that.
Speaker 1: You made that. Yeah, it's funny, funny, the same the
Speaker 1: one it's so funny you said that. The one time
Speaker 1: my mom ever helped me with the school project was
Speaker 1: with it like an ancient Egypt diorama had to build
Speaker 1: and I was trying to make my own pyramids out
Speaker 1: of paper and on. My dumbass just didn't know how
Speaker 1: to funk with geometry property to get it. And my
Speaker 1: mom watched me struggle for hours and then until she
Speaker 1: was just like, yo, like you can't embarrass me like this.
Speaker 1: We bring this ship in here like here, like just
Speaker 1: cut this paper like this and then just fold it
Speaker 1: and then it'll be it'll look like a little pyramid.
Speaker 1: And I'm like and I remember like being so self
Speaker 1: conscious when I brought it like that. I was like,
Speaker 1: the teacher's gonna know my mom did this. You know,
Speaker 1: my mom did the fucking paper pyramid. And no it
Speaker 1: wasn't like that, but I'll never shake that feeling either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so funny, right because I got an a on
Speaker 1: it and I was like so upset for me to
Speaker 1: like with you know, Asian household. It's very much like
Speaker 1: sink or swim, motherfucker like and if you fail, I
Speaker 1: hope you ready for the shame train because it's about
Speaker 1: to make a stop at this house. You'd be better
Speaker 1: hop on. But like, at the same time, also became
Speaker 1: very much like able to rely on myself because I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, because I feel like every kid,
Speaker 1: like when report time will come around, there was always
Speaker 1: that one kid you learned like your mom fucking made that.
Speaker 1: I've seen you. You can't even color in the fucking lines,
Speaker 1: and now you did a whole ass diorama out of
Speaker 1: a moving box that's like the scale. No. No, my
Speaker 1: dad helped me with math homework in sixth grade once
Speaker 1: and I still remember it because it ultimately ended with
Speaker 1: him being like, your teacher is wrong about this. This
Speaker 1: doesn't move, This doesn't make sense to me. And my
Speaker 1: poor teacher, who was like such a hardass she didn't
Speaker 1: give a funk ficture, was just like uh huh uh
Speaker 1: huh yeah, okay, yeah, and you're a basketball coach, right, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so why don't you just add up the score because
Speaker 1: what you can only counted five right and do it
Speaker 1: in ones, twos and threes, because see, isn't that funny
Speaker 1: that we all have a story and we all are
Speaker 1: like we very vividly remember and how it made us feel,
Speaker 1: how we still feel about it, And like Christie Nehme's
Speaker 1: daughter is probably like, well, so that one is sometimes
Speaker 1: for somebody. Well, that's like because you know, I grew
Speaker 1: up around a lot of kids who were the children
Speaker 1: of celebrities, and they all have that similar thing, which
Speaker 1: is money has solved all of their problems since they
Speaker 1: can remember. And I mean there's some kids who you know,
Speaker 1: were raised that'd be a little more self relife, but
Speaker 1: many are like to the point where it's like you
Speaker 1: move in, You're like, yo, can you set up the
Speaker 1: WiFi or something like they don't even know how to
Speaker 1: set up a WiFi account like that, even like you know,
Speaker 1: you call the phone company and they're like huh, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, funck, bro, did your mom always do this?
Speaker 1: She's like they'll be like, yeah, my mom got it covered.
Speaker 1: We're still on the parent plane now. Yeah. Yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Pandora papers because it is slightly
Speaker 1: related in the sense that the the US is one
Speaker 1: of the key tax havens for a lot of this activity,
Speaker 1: in particular the state of South Dakota. So she's working
Speaker 1: over time making sure that uh, you know, they can
Speaker 1: get some business from South Dakota, in particular sheltering sheltering
Speaker 1: billi of dollars in wealth linked to people who have
Speaker 1: been accused of serious financial crimes is a quote from
Speaker 1: the reporting on the Pandora papers. But it's basically a
Speaker 1: another leak like the Panama papers, except even bigger. There's
Speaker 1: like more data in this leak than the Panama papers.
Speaker 1: The journalists of the world are still kind of sifting
Speaker 1: through it because it's massive. But basically, hundreds of world leaders, politicians, celebrities,
Speaker 1: religious leaders have been using offshore accounts to shield assets
Speaker 1: collectively worth trillions of dollars. The I really like ox
Speaker 1: Fam statement on this because it's just like, I feel
Speaker 1: like rat The way it's being reported, for the most
Speaker 1: part is just like lifestyles of the rich and famous,
Speaker 1: where like they got caught doing a bad a bad thing,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, yeah, naughty billionaires. But ox Fam
Speaker 1: statement was, this is where I'm missing hospitals are, this
Speaker 1: is where the pay packets it of all the extra
Speaker 1: teachers and firefight is in public servants we need. Whenever
Speaker 1: a politician or business leader claims there is quote no
Speaker 1: money to pay for climate change and innovation, for more
Speaker 1: and better jobs, for a fair post COVID recovery, for
Speaker 1: more overseas aid they know where to look. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just hiding all this money and all sorts of
Speaker 1: illegal ways that I don't fully understand. I'm not the
Speaker 1: person to explain it to you, but it's fucked. The
Speaker 1: whole system is fucked, and it's so complex and legalistic
Speaker 1: that it it gives people that response of like funk,
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start to try and
Speaker 1: understand this ship and nothink. It makes you feel more
Speaker 1: powerless and how the system is set up than when
Speaker 1: you when these types of stories are exposed, right, and
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, what happened with the Panama papers?
Speaker 1: Oh one of the journalists was like assassinated, That's what
Speaker 1: came of it. And then you're like, so, what's what
Speaker 1: the what? What I mean? That's what that'll put It
Speaker 1: puts Biden in in an interesting place because this shows
Speaker 1: that the US is the worst of the offenders, which
Speaker 1: is why. And it's like so you can clean the
Speaker 1: ship up because you're you had all this energy for
Speaker 1: you know, people not paying their fair share. This looks
Speaker 1: like a real good example of some ship you could
Speaker 1: clean up. But will that happen? Oh God, I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard to stay optimistic when you look
Speaker 1: at how many people have just even in Congress or like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the earth can burn because my corporate benefactors told me
Speaker 1: that's my take today. Yeah. Do you think Biden is
Speaker 1: looking forward to dying? I think you guys think he did.
Speaker 1: I think we contain multitudes, and you know, there's probably
Speaker 1: not a conscious part of his brain that like wakes
Speaker 1: up and it's like, Dad, I wish I was dead.
Speaker 1: But I bet they're like a whole bunch of parts
Speaker 1: of his brain that are like, God, damn it, we
Speaker 1: just get this over with. Come on, take me away. Lord.
Speaker 1: What did you say, Joe, nothing, Jill. This is just
Speaker 1: one of those stories that I think we talked about
Speaker 1: this before, where it's like, this is why it's important
Speaker 1: to just focus on community, your community and improving your community,
Speaker 1: because the fucking the sense of like helping as an
Speaker 1: individual in the global spectrum of things, it's like you're not.
Speaker 1: These people are so corrupt and it's so much bigger
Speaker 1: than we can even wrap our heads around. It's like
Speaker 1: just fucking focus on your family and your community and
Speaker 1: you fucking get through this life. You know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do have the idea that like American exceptionalism, we're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they must be hiding their money and like offshore accounts,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, South Dakota, if that's so, consider
Speaker 1: super falls. South Dakota is bro One of the politicians,
Speaker 1: the head of state for the Czech Republic, who is
Speaker 1: has an election coming up, made the statement that he
Speaker 1: knew this was going to happen just to swing his election,
Speaker 1: which is like amazingly self centered that he thinks that
Speaker 1: this thing with like global aplication and was was all
Speaker 1: designed to swing the check election. But his statement on
Speaker 1: it was I never did anything illegal or wrong, which
Speaker 1: half of that is true. The illegality is completely independent
Speaker 1: of the wrongdoing, and that's sort of the problem. The
Speaker 1: legal system is set up in a horribly corrupt way.
Speaker 1: I do want to like kind of talk about the
Speaker 1: other side of that coin, though, because like so that
Speaker 1: story is about like really boring ship that's like hard
Speaker 1: to wrap your mind around where that people are using
Speaker 1: to do illegal ship and hoard money and deprive people
Speaker 1: of of money. But there's a great news story about
Speaker 1: the world's oldest rainforest being handed back to its indigenous owners.
Speaker 1: It's in Queensland, Australia, at a ceremony last Wednesday, the
Speaker 1: Eastern Cuckoo eulogy. People on fucking that up. I'm sure
Speaker 1: took formal ownership of of the land, and it's like
Speaker 1: I just digging into it a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: like a decade's lung process with the federal government, like
Speaker 1: you know, they did something to protect the land back
Speaker 1: in nine but then like to actually give it back
Speaker 1: to the people took like thirty three years of negotiations
Speaker 1: and like bureaucratic just sort of legwork, And I just
Speaker 1: feel like it's the sort of thing that it's hard
Speaker 1: to imagine like someone reporting on this or like this
Speaker 1: story going viral in America since it's like a victory
Speaker 1: for people who were not immediately familiar with and that's
Speaker 1: like done by bureaucrats basically. But our world, our culture
Speaker 1: is just so like anti bureaucrat, like from like books
Speaker 1: that we read in high school. They were like Night
Speaker 1: four and you know, Brave New World and like those
Speaker 1: sort of post apocalyptic books that are like yeah, that
Speaker 1: are just like or cough cut, Like everything is just
Speaker 1: like being a nameless bureaucrat is like hell, but it's like,
Speaker 1: well you can also like just work and grind on
Speaker 1: behalf of like really good cause. And I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's not a single place in our
Speaker 1: culture where like that is glorified other than like the
Speaker 1: occasional good news story. You don't want to get too
Speaker 1: much momentum of you know, colonizers giving ship back, right,
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's a dangerous game for a lot of governments.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, whoa, whoa what they do? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's a one off. I know. I was gonna ask
Speaker 1: you guys think that this is gonna happen more frequently
Speaker 1: or just every whatever twenty fifty years or some sh
Speaker 1: it like, I don't know. I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: difference is the one benefit is people are so interested
Speaker 1: in like these kinds of power dynamics. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's it's definitely not like a tipping point, but
Speaker 1: more and more people understand like what is right and wrong,
Speaker 1: or or you know how oppression works, or how like,
Speaker 1: you know, even being very underhanded with like bureaucratic paperwork
Speaker 1: to not you know, give land back. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just see just increased awareness and a deep down.
Speaker 1: I hope with increased awareness comes some kind of tangible change,
Speaker 1: but it definitely takes time. And I think to your point,
Speaker 1: that's why it's good to focus on things like locally,
Speaker 1: because you have a lot more when you know your
Speaker 1: communities and stuff like that, you know the people there,
Speaker 1: you kind of understand how power moves a little bit
Speaker 1: differently than trying to scream outside of Capitol Hill and
Speaker 1: being like, did you to do something? Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: don't want to do another insurrection. The person's kind of whack.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna lie there. Nobody's smoking weed.
Speaker 1: I was like, what the fuck? Listen, Nope, it's not
Speaker 1: a party. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back, and we're back. And a New
Speaker 1: York Times columnists was pointing out that a lot of
Speaker 1: the sort of news leaks, a lot of the Wall
Speaker 1: Street journals reporting with these like Facebook leaks from behind
Speaker 1: the scenes of Facebook is being interpreted as like Facebook
Speaker 1: is this like massive, powerful company that's unstoppable, and like
Speaker 1: the thing we need to do is break it apart,
Speaker 1: and the the columnists like, yeah, that's we definitely need
Speaker 1: to like break it apart. But also like what we're
Speaker 1: seeing is kind of more dangerous than them being this massive,
Speaker 1: like unstoppable juggernaut. It's actually like a company that is
Speaker 1: in trouble and that like recognizes its weakness and like
Speaker 1: is acting from a place of desperation. Like a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of the leak reports are about them being
Speaker 1: like yeah, no, like just the ship that we know,
Speaker 1: like about Facebook that like it's for old people and
Speaker 1: like young people aren't really fucking with it and becoming
Speaker 1: toxic for like younger people, yeah, like teen girls and
Speaker 1: things like that, and they don't give a funk. They're
Speaker 1: looking at like yeah, yeah, that's happening. But before you
Speaker 1: want me to do them in this engagement though, but
Speaker 1: they like do recognize it. Like that that's being brought
Speaker 1: up in meetings is like Okay, there's all this ship
Speaker 1: that like kids hate about this were toxic. We have
Speaker 1: like these things that go viral that are like really
Speaker 1: bad for people. You know, we've helped spread genocides in
Speaker 1: other countries, like these are these are bad stories that
Speaker 1: are like hurting our ability to like draw young people.
Speaker 1: But then everything like to a cellular level, like everything
Speaker 1: that they do is all about generating engagement, and it's
Speaker 1: just they can't change how people think of their platform
Speaker 1: because they it was it's been fucked up for so long.
Speaker 1: So they did this algorithm that was covered at the
Speaker 1: time of the mainstream media because the main instream media
Speaker 1: will just repeat anything that a massive tech company or
Speaker 1: the police tell them. But it was like they're doing
Speaker 1: this push to change the state of the algorithm to
Speaker 1: be like more positive. What they actually did was like
Speaker 1: changed it to increase engagement, and that ended up just
Speaker 1: meaning that they increased the like posts that made people angry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the the this whistleblower, Francis Hogan, who is the person
Speaker 1: who shared all those documents with the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: They were on sixty minutes and I'll just play this
Speaker 1: clip of her describing just very bluntantly how like how
Speaker 1: ship was working on Facebook. And then you really understand like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is they don't give a fuck and even no
Speaker 1: matter what the cost Halgan told us the route of
Speaker 1: Facebook's problem is in a change that it made in
Speaker 1: to its algorithms, the programming that decides what you see
Speaker 1: on your Facebook news feed. So you know, you have
Speaker 1: your phone, you might see only a hundred pieces of
Speaker 1: content if you sit and scroll off for you know,
Speaker 1: five minutes. But Facebook has thousands of options that could
Speaker 1: show you. The algorithm picks from those options based on
Speaker 1: the kind of content you've engaged with the most in
Speaker 1: the past. And one of the consequences of how Facebook
Speaker 1: is picking out that content today is it is optimizing
Speaker 1: for content that gets engagement a reaction, but its own
Speaker 1: research is showing the content that is hateful, that is divisive,
Speaker 1: that is polarizing. It's easier to inspire people to anger
Speaker 1: than it is to other emotions. Misinformation, angry content is
Speaker 1: enticing to people and keeps them on the platform. Yes,
Speaker 1: Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to
Speaker 1: be safer, people will spend less time on the site,
Speaker 1: they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money. M Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's just like this woman is just so fucking
Speaker 1: steely with her delivery on it, and you're like, and
Speaker 1: you just look at all of the things that we're
Speaker 1: seeing being compounded by the way Facebook gives people information
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, you heard, you saw that. The
Speaker 1: reason she decided to whistle blow the funk out of
Speaker 1: this ship is because she lost her friend to conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories online. I mean, that's so fucking sad. And it's
Speaker 1: also that thing of like I also hate that people
Speaker 1: need to have like lose something in order to feel
Speaker 1: like they need to do something good, you know, like
Speaker 1: that you know, double edged sword there. But I am
Speaker 1: glad she's doing it, uh and did it. But it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's like, fucking oh man
Speaker 1: is shi It is like so deep and dark and
Speaker 1: worse than I think we all can even rip her
Speaker 1: hands around some and I think I think everybody knows
Speaker 1: someone that's just gone down the rabbit hole and it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: see you later, and you're like, you can't believe what
Speaker 1: has occurred, but then you realize. But you also there
Speaker 1: was like you can there are people you can watch, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: the posts were getting like they were sort of gaining
Speaker 1: speed the last couple of years in the way they
Speaker 1: would post on Instagram or Facebook, and yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's like it's such a pervasive issue that again, like
Speaker 1: what are they going to legislate finally or what do
Speaker 1: they do? Just let this thing thrash its way into
Speaker 1: total chaos as on the way now and YouTube is
Speaker 1: also getting rid of the supposed vaccine misinformation to write
Speaker 1: there taking it down and yeah they are, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they said like of like the twelve biggest offenders, I know,
Speaker 1: like a few days after that announcement, like two of
Speaker 1: them were still up. But I think it seems like
Speaker 1: on some level they want to do something about it.
Speaker 1: But it's hard for me to have to think that
Speaker 1: they're having a reckoning with like, well, I guess it
Speaker 1: just means we're gonna have to make less money folks. Right,
Speaker 1: that's like that actually being brought up in since seriousness.
Speaker 1: I doubted. No, No, that's never you know, could you
Speaker 1: imagine like a clip of that in a board like
Speaker 1: table board, I mean, like, I mean the alternative is
Speaker 1: we have to do the right thing and just you know,
Speaker 1: just look at more engagement and begin to tell our
Speaker 1: ad partners that. Like. But it's sad too because sometimes
Speaker 1: when I talk to my friends about things that they
Speaker 1: say yes to or things that they're wanting to say
Speaker 1: yes to. In the industry, I will straight up be
Speaker 1: like how much money do you need? Like what what
Speaker 1: are you really getting out of this project or this
Speaker 1: thing that you're doing. And sometimes people like just hearing
Speaker 1: that fox with their head and it's really interesting that
Speaker 1: it's like it's no wonder it's gotten to this point
Speaker 1: because if you can't even like your individual like your
Speaker 1: friends people in your life have a problem with that concept,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, no fucking wonder. Everybody so fucking corrupt
Speaker 1: because like money is truly fucking with people's heads and
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, fucking I don't know people, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's like the same thing with you know, what
Speaker 1: you're being what's being reflected to you from society is
Speaker 1: get yours because there's not a lot out there, so
Speaker 1: you better get yours because you don't want to be
Speaker 1: one of these other motherfucker's that don't got it. And
Speaker 1: until I think we're there's some kind of redistribution of
Speaker 1: values where people are like now like it's not we
Speaker 1: have to get off to get yours mindset, and it's
Speaker 1: like get ours type ship, like for everybody to be
Speaker 1: able to say that there is enough that we're not
Speaker 1: dealing with such finite things, that there is a way
Speaker 1: to support people. And I think many people have a
Speaker 1: rigid idea of like, well, if that happens, that means
Speaker 1: I'll never go on vacations, or like well, yeah, that's fine,
Speaker 1: you know you you're you're a normal working person, like
Speaker 1: and everyone should have the flexibility to do that. But
Speaker 1: I think there's just a really good messaging machine on
Speaker 1: the other side, which is having people fear for what
Speaker 1: it means to create more equity for people, which is
Speaker 1: like that means they're gonna take your ship, when really
Speaker 1: we're trying to come for the people from the Pandora
Speaker 1: paper ship, right exactly exactly. It's also interesting when I
Speaker 1: think about how like, like all these news stories are connected,
Speaker 1: not connected, right, because it's like I think about how
Speaker 1: like thank god those indigenous people got their land back,
Speaker 1: and then you think about like influencers online now they're
Speaker 1: kind of exploiting they like their original traditions, like holistic
Speaker 1: traditions that indigenous people created and you know, like their
Speaker 1: ancestors took their land and now these influencers are exploiting
Speaker 1: these indigenous traditions as like they're fucking cool last thing
Speaker 1: that they're selling online and they're making money off of
Speaker 1: their profiting and I don't know, it's just like this
Speaker 1: weird cycle that like as we went through these stories,
Speaker 1: I'm like I saw the cycle in my head and
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so weird how it's all connected
Speaker 1: and it's not connected, and how everything just comes back
Speaker 1: to money and it's just like the phases of like
Speaker 1: being colonized. The land will go first, and then the
Speaker 1: people and then the culture, and it's like, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: just get as much as we can out of this thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This column points out that you shouldn't be any less
Speaker 1: worried about Facebook because they're kind of in a desperate place,
Speaker 1: because you know, history has shown that companies that like
Speaker 1: MySpace they specifically mentioned like on the way down, they
Speaker 1: do a lot of damage. They you know, sell user
Speaker 1: data to advertising firms. They funk with your online information
Speaker 1: security and a good another good example of like how Facebook,
Speaker 1: you know, the sort of bind that they put themselves
Speaker 1: in is like they so there are there's a problem
Speaker 1: on Instagram with people being sold products that are unhealthy
Speaker 1: that like promote eating disorders. And the way that they
Speaker 1: tried to tried it in quotes to combat that is
Speaker 1: just by banning like a couple obvious hashtags, like they're like,
Speaker 1: well that no more. And then obviously the companies just
Speaker 1: create new hashtags and like those bow has gone Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: how about hashtag snatched up? You know, let's start using
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, And I think that's what that that's
Speaker 1: always their problem is they it's they're just plugging these
Speaker 1: holes for another leak to just pop up on the
Speaker 1: other place, because they're not just removing the boat from
Speaker 1: the body of water to fix it. It's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think we can. We can keep just going if
Speaker 1: we're just doing it like in this ad hoc way.
Speaker 1: And it's yeah yeah, because I just think, like you said,
Speaker 1: with my Space going down, remember what Tom Tom sold
Speaker 1: it to Fox right, Yeah, Tom sold just sold it
Speaker 1: to whatever company first. Yeah, yeah, Intermix, which sold it
Speaker 1: to Fox right. So then what happens if Mark Suckerberg
Speaker 1: decides the cash out on Facebook. That's when I think
Speaker 1: it would go truly in another direction, because someone goes, yo,
Speaker 1: if I can just get my fucking hands on Facebook,
Speaker 1: like I'll turn this ship all the way up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he'll be like, well, I already have my islands,
Speaker 1: so yeah, all right, we do have to get to
Speaker 1: the Anna musical. That's very important. Yeah, what a horrible
Speaker 1: newsday La came on for this one. Guys, Um, you're
Speaker 1: gonna like this one though, because this is so bad
Speaker 1: it's good. So there's a lot of Diana content, a
Speaker 1: lot of Diana tent coming out these days. There's The Crown,
Speaker 1: the upcoming movie Spencer, where Diana is played by Christen Stewart,
Speaker 1: and there's yet another fictionalized telling of the life of
Speaker 1: Princess Diana that just hit Netflix. It is a lavish
Speaker 1: Broadway musical recounting like her life through cringe e pop
Speaker 1: rock songs and elaborate dance numbers. Yeah. I remember we
Speaker 1: first talked about it, like when this came on the radar,
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh boy, this sounds like a mistake,
Speaker 1: but we're blessed because these people actually recorded themselves performing
Speaker 1: this last summer and it's on Netflix now, and what
Speaker 1: a what a sight for sore eyes. I wasn't aware
Speaker 1: of this whole thing, and until I think yesterday is
Speaker 1: that there's a clip going around of two friends watching
Speaker 1: it and they're trying to figure out how the woman,
Speaker 1: the woman playing Diana, she's singing to whoever the fuck
Speaker 1: and then steps into a stand up dress, a dress
Speaker 1: at standing and so there's an extra in the dress
Speaker 1: and that person steps out and she like walks around
Speaker 1: steps in. It's like shot perfectly so you can't tell.
Speaker 1: But they're dissecting it because they're like, this makes no sense.
Speaker 1: She's like not moving, she's just sitting there trying to
Speaker 1: sing because she stepped into the dress. That's the only
Speaker 1: thing I know about this at all, kind of like
Speaker 1: a paper doll. Yeah, it's very weird and people it's
Speaker 1: like going viral and that was the only thing I
Speaker 1: know about this. And it looks cookie. I mean, that
Speaker 1: might be the best thing, because what you're sounding saying
Speaker 1: sounds like a good bit of like stage direction that
Speaker 1: you're like, how they fucking pull that off? Because the
Speaker 1: musical itself, Yeah, it's getting like just kill and and
Speaker 1: reviews based on like some of the lyrics. At one point,
Speaker 1: Prince Charles sings, how about for us start don't act
Speaker 1: like a tart? Diana, what ya, which she probably said
Speaker 1: to her right that's not might not have rhymed. But
Speaker 1: when Prince William is born, he sings, darling, I'm holding
Speaker 1: our son, so let me say jolly well done. It's
Speaker 1: just really like, think these writers to creative prison. What
Speaker 1: are you doing it. There's a scene right early on
Speaker 1: where she's just like entering like the phase of courting
Speaker 1: Prince Charles, and like there's like this paparazzi scene, this
Speaker 1: paparazzi dance number, like they're all dressed like newsies and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's just like, oh my god, Like you know,
Speaker 1: the whole sort of undertone, like you know, the thrust
Speaker 1: of it is sort of like these people are bad,
Speaker 1: but also like y'all are ingesting it, so who's really bad?
Speaker 1: Kind of a vibe. And there's one lyric where this
Speaker 1: they're saying, and of course they say better than againness,
Speaker 1: better than a whank, We take the pictures and this
Speaker 1: money in the bank, Oh my god, really better than
Speaker 1: beer or jerking off. That's part of the And then
Speaker 1: you're like, this is this has gone completely off the rails.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is showing that they're sick, because I
Speaker 1: so when they when she dies, they are they like
Speaker 1: tap dancing on her, Like how does that work? They're
Speaker 1: just like taking her lifeless body and like posing it
Speaker 1: to do it. You know, I didn't even get that
Speaker 1: far because like, once I was seeing this, I was like,
Speaker 1: this is so bad. You know, it's just like I
Speaker 1: don't know how you do a musical treatment of something
Speaker 1: that's like everyone else is like, this is actually like
Speaker 1: pretty tragic if you really look at it closely, And
Speaker 1: a lot of people only saw like the glitzy parts
Speaker 1: without understanding how tortured these be poor. Do you ever
Speaker 1: you ever like turned something off in the middle of
Speaker 1: it or at the beginning of it just to make
Speaker 1: a point, because they're like, I should finish this for work,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to turn this off to send a
Speaker 1: message to these streaming. Yeah, sometimes I'll rage quit, like
Speaker 1: performative rage quit, you know, but sometimes I just ran
Speaker 1: anot of time. So you're saying you were going to
Speaker 1: finish it. Honestly, it's so bad. The dancing. It looks
Speaker 1: like the kind of ship like it looks like if
Speaker 1: a flash mob broke out on a cruise ship and
Speaker 1: you're like, these motherfucker's got down. That's like a cruise
Speaker 1: ship during during a storm and they're ye during like
Speaker 1: a COVID, Like you're on a COVID boat and they decided, hey,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's do a flash mob musical real
Speaker 1: quick for the stranded passengers, Like, yeah, you know someone
Speaker 1: who just survived COVID. I don't find that comment funny
Speaker 1: at all. Apologies, I don't need to say to get
Speaker 1: it make it that vivid, But I hope that really
Speaker 1: took me there, you know. Yeah, it's uh, it's getting
Speaker 1: Some of the reviews are pretty like they said. Chicago
Speaker 1: Tribune said that the r and streaming is optional the
Speaker 1: Evening Standard. It said, it's like being bludgeoned over the
Speaker 1: head by a commemorative crockery set. That's funny. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I like that. And at one point there where I'm
Speaker 1: Camilla with the Thrilla in Manila, So anytime you feel
Speaker 1: bad about your own freestyling, you know, you can always
Speaker 1: remember that somebody actually wrote that ship down. Like yeah,
Speaker 1: when it comes to sex, someone in Camilla and he's
Speaker 1: called me by the condo piller. Okay, I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: that re jackass Dana and Dana r ip. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could ever do something that
Speaker 1: is serious and add the level of camp that a
Speaker 1: musical brings, and then it completely not have any meaning anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a musical number sung by the Queen in which
Speaker 1: she's sandwiched by two beds, one in which Diana is
Speaker 1: having an affair with James hugh It and the other
Speaker 1: where Charles is fucking Camilla. Oh my god, it's just
Speaker 1: I'm just leaking at screen cups. I have not watched this,
Speaker 1: but their strategy is apparently to like let people see
Speaker 1: this and then they will be like, I've got to
Speaker 1: see it in person because it doesn't make sense, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the only Broadway musicals that they have like released on
Speaker 1: like a streaming network are like ones that are like
Speaker 1: a lot of people have seen and they've already succeeded.
Speaker 1: This is the first time that they were like, let's
Speaker 1: put this out. Usually you secure your streaming bag after
Speaker 1: your Broadway bag. If you're a Broadway production, you you'd
Speaker 1: imagine you'd want to do it in that sequence. But
Speaker 1: shout out to Netflix. I don't. I don't know how.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking like how this whole thing the
Speaker 1: whole time I kept watching, like I want to feel
Speaker 1: like you can make a musical about anything and then
Speaker 1: it works. But it's like the way they just focus
Speaker 1: on all these very like just super moments, and if
Speaker 1: there is something serious, it's like a throwaway line, like
Speaker 1: you know in a lyric. You're like, that's not honoring them.
Speaker 1: It's like doing like a Harriet Tubman musical. But it's
Speaker 1: like you map it over like Starlight Express, because you
Speaker 1: just focus on the railroad part, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like he's like, come on, don't do that. Just don't
Speaker 1: even bother, Like you don't have to go there. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go there. You can tell you do
Speaker 1: maybe with theatrically, but not working on the right I
Speaker 1: mean honestly, yeah, you're like, I don't know about this one,
Speaker 1: but that's what it's at times. That's what I kind
Speaker 1: of felt with this when I'm like, I just feels
Speaker 1: like I do feel like I kind of have to
Speaker 1: watch this in person. Now. I think I'm gonna plan Jack,
Speaker 1: you are a better dancer than the guy playing Charles.
Speaker 1: You said I'm not a great dance I know, but
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, because this guy they say he's good,
Speaker 1: and I've seen you. I've seen you popping lock and
Speaker 1: oh you should see him. You look we call Boogaloo do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that's his that's his street, that's his buskin name.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the there's a scene where he's like trying
Speaker 1: to like like send like a wave through his arms
Speaker 1: and ship and it looks like he broke both his
Speaker 1: arms because they're so rigid, and he's just like damn.
Speaker 1: So it's like offensive to people who dance. I need
Speaker 1: to watch squid Game. I like, I'm enjoying watching squid Game,
Speaker 1: and yet I think I'm gonna have to watch this
Speaker 1: before I watch it more squid Game. Just doost you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: watch it with your children, just to feel good to him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When they're saying stuff like better than a guinness, better
Speaker 1: than a wank, and your kids are like what are those?
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know why, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask any questions. We were like, oh, this is mesmerizing.
Speaker 1: I'm just a dumb kid like that. They do find
Speaker 1: the one like word that I don't want them to
Speaker 1: listen to and be like, what does that mean? Did
Speaker 1: you say gun? No? He said dumb gum there blow
Speaker 1: your head off with this. Gum. It's really good. Gum.
Speaker 1: You think there's um fucking Megan Merkels ship like got
Speaker 1: everybody all excited to exploit the royal family again, Is
Speaker 1: that what's going on here? I think the Crown did it,
Speaker 1: The Mega Markels ship did it. But yeah, the Crown
Speaker 1: I think is largely show right, just want to m
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah, And I feel like they left like
Speaker 1: the Diana part of the Crown is not like as
Speaker 1: the strongest part of the show, I feel like, and
Speaker 1: so people are like hungry for some for the Grana stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It also feels like so long ago that people can
Speaker 1: exploit it again. Yeah. Yeah, which is funny because I
Speaker 1: think the director of this also he like won an
Speaker 1: award for directing a nine eleven Broadway. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: are you serious? Yeah? Wait really yeah, the wonder no One.
Speaker 1: I was reading the Roger Ebert dot com review because
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is Roger Ebert dot com gotta say?
Speaker 1: If they gave that ship one and a half stars
Speaker 1: and then they said blah blah blah blah blah, it's
Speaker 1: the creative hands being the creative hands of Christopher Ashley,
Speaker 1: director of the Stage production and this film performance actually
Speaker 1: is also a Tony Award winner for his staging of
Speaker 1: the September eleventh musical Come from Away. Mm hmm, So
Speaker 1: they didn't know that. Yeah, they wanted Tony for the
Speaker 1: people who wrote the lyrics. I want a Tony for Memphis,
Speaker 1: which I was not familiar with. But oh, the nine
Speaker 1: eleven thing is about people who are stranded in Newfoundland
Speaker 1: because of all the flights being canceled. Because so it
Speaker 1: wasn't like so nine eleven, I'm dying on the building.
Speaker 1: I'm going to jumpall you, honey if I never speak
Speaker 1: to you again, hold on, I must insert my credit
Speaker 1: card for two more minutes, and you're like this. That
Speaker 1: was actually really pretty Uh, where can people find you?
Speaker 1: And you can find me at the North Bar in
Speaker 1: Chicago this Saturday, October nine. If you guys are Chicago
Speaker 1: or the areas, please come out and see me as
Speaker 1: some fun shows. Um, I'll probably be sitting because I'm

Speaker 1: And is there a tweet or some other work of
Speaker 1: social media? Oh my god, oh some other social media works.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. There is a young woman, she
Speaker 1: Fhon Taylor. She says, you make one valid point to
Speaker 1: your home girl, and it's just a screenshot of her
Speaker 1: friend going, who side you on? And I found that
Speaker 1: so funny because it's so true when you do that
Speaker 1: with your home girls, or just like make a point
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with are we not nothing
Speaker 1: to do with anything? But it's not. You're just trying
Speaker 1: to like speak logically, you know, diplomatically, and they're just like, bitch,
Speaker 1: oh now you his friend? Now? Okay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, I'm reasonable, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1: wandered around for a good while, then asked pleasantly, what
Speaker 1: is this place? Oh gosh. We talked about it last week,
Speaker 1: like how just unthinkable libraries would be like if if
Speaker 1: they hadn't already existed, like in our modern world, if
Speaker 1: someone was like, all right, I'm gonna make a like
Speaker 1: place that has all the books and like for free,
Speaker 1: people would be like, dude, they'd say it's critical race
Speaker 1: theory or something, you know what I mean. We like,
Speaker 1: like four of us in the family used to work
Speaker 1: at a library. But my mom was reminding me of
Speaker 1: this story where um, there there are people steal books
Speaker 1: from the library, and I guess one of the ladies
Speaker 1: that worked there was like we should be happy that
Speaker 1: they want to steal books and the cutest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever they want to read, though, I guess that's true.
