Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. The Hilarious and Talented Alliston's Alliston. Hi, Alliston,
Speaker 1: Allison steven says, sorry, Alistair Cook. I mean I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: oh shit, that's not my bio. Uh Hi No, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up? How's it going? Really? Not much to report
Speaker 1: on my in TB. Yeah yeah, I loved you truth Towns.
Speaker 1: Loved you in Truth Towns. Oh thanks. I think I
Speaker 1: make a two minute second appearance where I say, like
Speaker 1: big titty goth anime girls animate girls in the zoom anyway,
Speaker 1: is that a real tactic used to make zoom calls
Speaker 1: weird or was that a little bit of improv It
Speaker 1: was accidental, but like it was it was real because like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is okay. So in my old
Speaker 1: apartment when I would do zoom calls, I have like
Speaker 1: a bunch of like vintage like the only wall in
Speaker 1: my room where I could realistically do a zoom call.
Speaker 1: In the back of me were all these like vintage
Speaker 1: porno like photos of like naked women. And because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a collector, it's like it's just you know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: So all these with Jeffrey Tubin, you should be all
Speaker 1: right exactly. But then I was like, damn, well, okay,
Speaker 1: some of these zoom calls are like professional. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: how do I cover up the nudity? And so the
Speaker 1: only thing I had other than that, we're stickers that
Speaker 1: I could put over the things. But the stickers were
Speaker 1: like a big titty anime girls, but at least they
Speaker 1: were clothed, So I put those over the over the
Speaker 1: frame photos. Like, realistically, I probably should just taken everything down,
Speaker 1: but for a minute, that for me was like a solution, Like,
Speaker 1: they're not going to see straight up naked vintage naked women.
Speaker 1: They're gonna see like naked half naked cartoon women. Perfect
Speaker 1: and you know who uses the blur background feature anyway,
Speaker 1: screw that? Also something I could have thought about a solution.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Miles, you are currently blurred in the background.
Speaker 1: So that just you know, puts the question in our mind,
Speaker 1: what what kind of wild ship does Miles have gone
Speaker 1: on back there? Bunch of loose laundry and ship that
Speaker 1: I had to pull out of the dryer. And I
Speaker 1: just don't want to, like hear my mother's voice in
Speaker 1: the background, like why did you fold it before? A
Speaker 1: zome called you didn't fold your seas up? Okay, And
Speaker 1: We've got a head a lot to do and I'm
Speaker 1: now my allergies are kicking in again. Yeah man, you're
Speaker 1: looking like the before and an allergy comm so a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, well, it's just you know, I gotta
Speaker 1: stop itching my eyes. Yeah, I guess you know, what
Speaker 1: do they know the doctors? Is there like something new
Speaker 1: in Bloom or something. It's just my seasonal. Every episode
Speaker 1: has become with talks and my alegies. But it's a
Speaker 1: seasonal allergies. Is that is that early fall ship into
Speaker 1: summer ship, and now we have a fire season layered
Speaker 1: on top. I'm sure there's some bad ship kicking up there.
Speaker 1: Got the easterly winds coming from the Saltan Sea, the
Speaker 1: northern winds come from the salt and Sea with all
Speaker 1: sorts of nineteen fifties agricultural chemicals and poisons that have
Speaker 1: now like turned into a desert dust. So we're good.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of good breathable ship out here. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Allison, We're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We
Speaker 1: have an update on the story about Jason Roundsberg, who
Speaker 1: is a South Dakota's Attorney general, and we we mentioned
Speaker 1: before that he had killed somebody with his car in
Speaker 1: a hit and run. Came back the next day after
Speaker 1: like getting a story straight and was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: thought I hit a deer. So we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: get a very unsatisfying update on that story. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get some good news about how people are adapting to
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates, and then some bad news about how people
Speaker 1: are adapting to vaccine mandates. We'll check in with Mike
Speaker 1: Richards see how his plot for world domination is going.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with the ted Lasso debate, and also
Speaker 1: just general Apple product placement on their streaming platform, and
Speaker 1: we will talk about whether the movies are coming back
Speaker 1: and whether they should be using vaccine mandates at the cinema,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. But first, Alison, we like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: his tree? Okay, so this is actually something I was
Speaker 1: thinking about last night and I did search for images
Speaker 1: of it. It was literally I just put the words
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez Fedora, h and Okay. I feel like nobody
Speaker 1: is discussing this, and like I'm like, do I want
Speaker 1: to be the person to do this? But like she
Speaker 1: had such an insane Fedora collection. I feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, is that in my head or she wears
Speaker 1: a lot of Fedoras. Wow, I didn't think of it
Speaker 1: like as her having a collection, but I do think
Speaker 1: of her rocking of Fedora, like it's very easy to
Speaker 1: picture j Low with a Fedora, almost as easy as
Speaker 1: her in that like green Versaci dress from the vm A,
Speaker 1: Like I could be like that, there's there's two j
Speaker 1: Lo's for Sazi dress Jo and Fedora wearing Jo. But
Speaker 1: does she have a do we know? Like did you
Speaker 1: find you have a collection? What's what's behind that? I
Speaker 1: actually couldn't find that many, but I'm like, why is
Speaker 1: it in my head that Jen for Lopez is like
Speaker 1: a Fedora person? And I think it's just like two
Speaker 1: photos I saw on Instagram but like that photo that
Speaker 1: everybody was sharing of, you know, her and Ben being
Speaker 1: back together. She had some birthday Fedora on very snazzy
Speaker 1: little number and I'm real video that she's wearing like
Speaker 1: a straw like Fedor. I remember, I think that's what
Speaker 1: my biggest thing is. And from that video she's rocking
Speaker 1: the Fedor. Maybe I just can't. I just made that
Speaker 1: her whole existence. No, yeah, exactly, That's the thing. It's like,
Speaker 1: for some reason, I couldn't find that many photos of
Speaker 1: her wearing a Fedora, But I'm like, something's up because
Speaker 1: she does wear Fedora's yeah, and she loves a hat
Speaker 1: though yeah yeah, and I'm for her with the like
Speaker 1: page boy cap. For some reason, like that two thousand's
Speaker 1: kind of puffy page boy cap and but I think
Speaker 1: that's just because I originally got to know her back
Speaker 1: in the of in Color days when I feel like
Speaker 1: as a flag girl. As a flag girl, yeah, there
Speaker 1: just needs to be suffing said, like we need to
Speaker 1: I want to be like, we need to talk about
Speaker 1: j Lo's hats. That's like, come on. Oh and she's
Speaker 1: got the very flat brims, which is bigger, closer to
Speaker 1: God or something. I don't know. So the big brim
Speaker 1: is Fedora, right, because like I always get that confused
Speaker 1: with whatever like Bruno mars War for the first half
Speaker 1: of his career, the little like Fedora is like the
Speaker 1: most annoying the annoying guy had come on, you remember
Speaker 1: Tim Rock. But then these are stands O brand Fedoras man, right,
Speaker 1: But those are different than the annoying guy hats. The well,
Speaker 1: they're the same style. I mean, it's a shorter brim overall.
Speaker 1: The shorter brim hat is the is the one that
Speaker 1: I'm picturing when I say Fedora. But I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think what I'm guilty of is just a tribute
Speaker 1: every hat that to me looks like an obnoxious hat.
Speaker 1: I could just call it a fedora. Yeah right right, right,
Speaker 1: there you go. And I'm like, why is Jla wearing this?
Speaker 1: Why is she into fedoras? Like, I feel like she
Speaker 1: needs to be stopped. Personally, she's perfect. Otherwise, the only
Speaker 1: thing you need to be a fedora, it's got to
Speaker 1: be low soft felt hat or not always soft felt,
Speaker 1: because you'll see a made out of our materials, but
Speaker 1: a curled brim and the crown creased lengthwise. Oh that's
Speaker 1: what makes it a fedora. Okay makes it? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: genealogy of fedoras in front of me, and that that
Speaker 1: is correct. There's many different species of fedora, right, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: they've all had to evolve in different climates and adapt
Speaker 1: a different environments, so they have different and they all
Speaker 1: breast feed their offspring. What what is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Yeah? I don't know, honestly. I like somebody
Speaker 1: must have said this at some point, but I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna throw out almonds. When he talked about almonds, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they take up way too much water. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and they just kind of taste like shit. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like what if what if peanuts were like made of wood?
Speaker 1: You know, we're made of the vibe though that is Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like they're like splintery in your mouth. I'm with you,
Speaker 1: like they're like and then yeah, they're raw, like a
Speaker 1: raw almond is just like I have the same thing
Speaker 1: with carrots. It's just something about the texture bad and
Speaker 1: they're they're like bad for you know all that water
Speaker 1: they use up? Yeah? No, funck almonds for real? Like
Speaker 1: does this extent to almond milk for you? Yes, yes
Speaker 1: it does. It does because we have oat milk now,
Speaker 1: so we don't need almond milk anymore. And coconut milk
Speaker 1: if you're if you're trying to replace like whole fatty milk,
Speaker 1: coconut milk is really good. Yeah. And you know what,
Speaker 1: people don't funk with coconut milk, which I think is wrong.
Speaker 1: I feel like coconut milk is underrated. Yeah maybe that
Speaker 1: should be my underrated. What do you wait? So you're
Speaker 1: saying you're the two of you, like you just look
Speaker 1: at almonds and you're like, good, get them away from
Speaker 1: me because I like a I mean, look, I like
Speaker 1: a roasted almond. I'm not. It's the thing. It's got
Speaker 1: to be roasted, right, not in its natural form. Well,
Speaker 1: what most of the nuts we eat are roasted right
Speaker 1: on some level, Like I don't eat rack cash shoes.
Speaker 1: I don't eat raw peanuts. I don't eat raw nuts.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. But you know it is
Speaker 1: I'm saying if it's like raw cash is delicious, Oh,
Speaker 1: rack cashes are delicious, Yeah, naturally delicious, obviously better with
Speaker 1: extra you know, roasting flavoring. But I think, oh, natural cash,
Speaker 1: who'se are fucking dope? I just I feel like almonds
Speaker 1: became the default nut at some point in the past,
Speaker 1: like ten years, over peanuts. Yeah, because they take a
Speaker 1: fucking it's I think it's something like a gallon per nut.
Speaker 1: You're like, what, no, knock it off, fucking knock it off.
Speaker 1: We don't we don't need all. That's where I'm like,
Speaker 1: we don't need almost that bad, not even that good, right,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that good. And yeah, like like
Speaker 1: when you look at the water usage, like the little
Speaker 1: like curbs that they put on consumer like water consumption
Speaker 1: like regular gen pop water consumption like makes the smallest
Speaker 1: dent in the world when you compared to just like
Speaker 1: doing anything to agriculture, like because they just like use
Speaker 1: all the water, right, Yeah, yeah, because yeah, when you
Speaker 1: go down it's like, yeah, this is how much water
Speaker 1: and almond takes. It's like, yeah, but what about all
Speaker 1: the live stock that's where that's where the real water
Speaker 1: is going. Yeah. Ship, what's something you think is underrated? Also,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if I said this last time I
Speaker 1: was on the show, but it's something I'm passionate about,
Speaker 1: which is hamsters. M hmm, did I don't know? Maybe
Speaker 1: I didn't. I can't remember that. I have a pet hamster.
Speaker 1: His name is Skip, and I just gotta I'm trying
Speaker 1: to just preach to adults. It's not a bad idea
Speaker 1: to have a pet hamster. In fact, I think they
Speaker 1: should just be for adults and not for kids personally.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, wait, so why is that? Let me know,
Speaker 1: why is it a good adult companions? Well, it's not
Speaker 1: a toy. It's a human. It's not human, it's human being. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a human being trapped in the soul of a rodent. No,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. They're very finicky, Like I bought my
Speaker 1: hamster on an impulse, not realizing how much work it
Speaker 1: really takes to have. And I mean, once you get
Speaker 1: the hang of it. It's not a lot of work.
Speaker 1: But initially I was like, oh damn, these things are
Speaker 1: like very precious and like they're so fragile, and they
Speaker 1: need circumstances like the cages to be certain sized, like
Speaker 1: they need to have this amount of food, like this stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's like, what kid is gonna know how to
Speaker 1: do this? You know, like that you found yourself being
Speaker 1: like kids, if I can't have a kid can handle this,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly that kids like just throw them around and
Speaker 1: abuse them and just like you know, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's see what how far we can throw them or whatever,
Speaker 1: and it's just like, hey, we've all been there, Like
Speaker 1: kids funk up their hamster. I think that's how parents
Speaker 1: like test if their kids a sociopath or something, is
Speaker 1: to see like how they treat a hamster. As a kid.
Speaker 1: I was always like not interested in like those kinds
Speaker 1: of pets like that would have a cage. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's just weird. I'm not like what happened, Like what
Speaker 1: happens if you fucking it gets loose. I remember we
Speaker 1: had a class mouse in middle school, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say her name because I know she
Speaker 1: still feels bad about it. One of my classmates short
Speaker 1: straight stepped on the fucking mouse because it got out
Speaker 1: the cage and we didn't know, and like it was
Speaker 1: like comedic. It was. It was like one of these
Speaker 1: things where we were we were sort of spared the
Speaker 1: gruesomeness of it because it merely just looked like it
Speaker 1: had flattened like pancakes. Like no gore about it. But
Speaker 1: we were just like, oh my god, and like people
Speaker 1: the kids were like crying and ship. It was like
Speaker 1: a whole thing. And I was like, see, I don't
Speaker 1: funk with these weird things because when they get out,
Speaker 1: people freak out. Somebody sea walked on one and sent
Speaker 1: it to an early grave. It's just a bad situation.
Speaker 1: Damn she walks with a heavy foot, that young lady.
Speaker 1: Because I feel it was the second I felt something
Speaker 1: under foot, but yeah, that's where wearing like those thick
Speaker 1: sold like rocket dog type motherfucker, Like you can't, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. R I p to the clashes like what
Speaker 1: is that flippery? And then like people wouldn't let it go,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, They're like, whoa, she fucking
Speaker 1: killed it, you know, and we're like, oh, let it go,
Speaker 1: Like it was traumatic for everybody. It's like plus we
Speaker 1: didn't we hated that stinking motherfucker anyway, So let's just
Speaker 1: let's just move on. But they genuinely are very nice
Speaker 1: cute pets to have, especially if you live in an
Speaker 1: apartment that doesn't allow like cats for dogs. Like that's
Speaker 1: how it was for me for a while, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let's get a hamster. And I was
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised by like how nice it is to have
Speaker 1: a cute little critter. You like it's out the cage
Speaker 1: and you just kind of free vibe with it. No
Speaker 1: he I mean he has like a little ball. He
Speaker 1: goes in the ball and can like roll around the room.
Speaker 1: But not Yeah no, I wouldn't let him out, would
Speaker 1: you ever. Like it's like you could take a nap
Speaker 1: with the hamster, Like they're not chill like that, Like
Speaker 1: they'll let you hold them and they'll like crawl around you,
Speaker 1: but like they don't. They don't nap on you. I
Speaker 1: mean maybe somebody mine does not, just very hyper, always
Speaker 1: trying to run away. They can't love you emotional connection,
Speaker 1: damn it. You can love them, but you can love them.
Speaker 1: And that's how most of my relationships are anyways. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's parenthood right there. You know, the kids say
Speaker 1: they love you and they act like they love you,
Speaker 1: but like, you know, the giving tree was right. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, the kids grew up and
Speaker 1: they're like, God, you're so fucking lame. Yeah, alright, well
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we will be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back and yeah, so this is an update.
Speaker 1: Jason Ravensburg is how it's spelled, but it's apparently pronounced Roundsburg.
Speaker 1: He killed a man named Joseph Bover in September. He
Speaker 1: was driving home from a Republican party event. No word on,
Speaker 1: you know, if he had had something to drink. Well,
Speaker 1: he took a blood test fifteen hours later, so fine blood.
Speaker 1: I didn't find alcohol. He was on his phone and
Speaker 1: rammed his car into Bover, who was walking on the shoulder,
Speaker 1: and told the cops, Hey, I thought I hit an animal.
Speaker 1: So I just went home. But I wasn't entirely sure.
Speaker 1: I was like, huh, might be. I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: You know, you know how it is, and you're like
Speaker 1: driving and you hit something and you don't know what
Speaker 1: it was at all, but even though it could have
Speaker 1: been a large animal. Yeah, yeah. So he then came
Speaker 1: back and claims, to his surprise, there was a dead
Speaker 1: human there. And an investigator pointed out, and I think
Speaker 1: this is the last time that we checked in with
Speaker 1: this story, was that the deceased man's glasses were inside
Speaker 1: the South Dakota Attorney General's car. So yeah, that the
Speaker 1: this investigator said, yeah, the glasses are in your car,
Speaker 1: meaning the face came through your windshield and you So
Speaker 1: he's like, his face is in your windshield, think about it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I don't know was it
Speaker 1: I could have been a deer. And then this this
Speaker 1: is like in this guy's notes, This investigator like not
Speaker 1: he said, I was in a meeting with a group
Speaker 1: of investigators, and I said, how many of you hit
Speaker 1: a deer? Every single one in that room like raised
Speaker 1: their hands. So then he said, how many of you
Speaker 1: did not know you hit a deer? Every single one
Speaker 1: of them knew they hit a deer. There wasn't like
Speaker 1: a big thing where it's you know some mona ok
Speaker 1: like Miyazaki, whimsical fucking creature you hit and you don't
Speaker 1: know what right, And he still played dumb, was still
Speaker 1: really playing dumb. And the guy even in the investigation
Speaker 1: said his face is in your windshield. Think about it, yea,
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think we should all think about it
Speaker 1: when we find out that he's just charged with three
Speaker 1: misdemeanors used of an elect electronic device while driving, illegal
Speaker 1: lane change, and careless driving. Jesus. Yeah, M do you
Speaker 1: think that's anything like political at work here? This is
Speaker 1: the thing, like it's it's split the like the whole,
Speaker 1: like South Dakota, South Dakota, South Dakota political machine. Because
Speaker 1: like Christine Nome, who is their governor, was like, yo,
Speaker 1: you know, you should resign. She was even like this
Speaker 1: is fucking weird, dude, you should resign. He did not.
Speaker 1: He was like, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing that at all. And this guy, he's kind of
Speaker 1: got he's got that sort of Trump pedigree, like he
Speaker 1: was one of those attorneys general who signed on to
Speaker 1: like that lawsuit to try and overturn the election at
Speaker 1: the end of last year. Part of the relationship to
Speaker 1: the truth, Yes, and he sees himself as a powerful man.
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of people say, like in
Speaker 1: South Dakota, because it's like a very spread out place
Speaker 1: with a very small government, it allows for unique political
Speaker 1: scandals of corruption and things like that. There have been
Speaker 1: times or like people were like funneling money out of
Speaker 1: like a visa program, and then the person who was
Speaker 1: at the center of it like just died mysteriously. And
Speaker 1: then there was another thing where another like scandal is
Speaker 1: going on with money that was supposed to go to
Speaker 1: reservations and like that was being funneled somewhere else, and
Speaker 1: then that person ended up doing like like a murder suicide,
Speaker 1: but the safe of their house was gone after the
Speaker 1: house burned down. There's a lot of people are like,
Speaker 1: this doesn't really have much to do with like Roundsberg
Speaker 1: or whatever his thing is, but it's more just sort
Speaker 1: of saying like there's all you know, this is kind
Speaker 1: of this sort of things happened like this in South Dakota.
Speaker 1: And on top of it, they said there was like
Speaker 1: a sheriff who basically wasn't really a sheriff kind of guy.
Speaker 1: He's more like if you got caught drunk driving, like
Speaker 1: he'd give you a ride home if like he knew you.
Speaker 1: He's like the Michael Clayton for Republicans. He just goes
Speaker 1: through him fixes some problems for people, but mostly just
Speaker 1: by like being bad at his job. You know. It's
Speaker 1: just more like I don't know, because even that guy
Speaker 1: he said he even back to sort of like yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We we went out there and looked there.
Speaker 1: We didn't see a deer until like a couple of
Speaker 1: days later there was a body. So either like the
Speaker 1: only way his story makes sense is if he was
Speaker 1: like shockingly drunk and didn't know like the the only
Speaker 1: it's either he was shockingly drunk and just was like, oh,
Speaker 1: should I hit something, but then like found the person's
Speaker 1: glasses inside his car like when he got right, because
Speaker 1: he was just completely out of his mind, and or
Speaker 1: he knew exactly what he did, and an intentional murder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, well you don't know, yeah, because now his
Speaker 1: like the biggest things he's looking at our speeding ticket
Speaker 1: and like finds that don't even amount to two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be a civil case coming
Speaker 1: for his right. Yeah, I don't know. I mean he
Speaker 1: called the police on himself, was like I think I
Speaker 1: hit a deer. He did. Yeah, he was in the
Speaker 1: car and the nine one one call he called like
Speaker 1: right after the impact was made, and he was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I think I I may have hit something. And then
Speaker 1: like the nine one one operators like, Okay, what do
Speaker 1: you mean something like a like an object to an animal?
Speaker 1: Was it a deer? That's what the nine one one
Speaker 1: operator says, And he's like, oh yeah, yeah, maybe a
Speaker 1: deer could have been a deer. Can tell that's him
Speaker 1: trying to be smart, trying to is the one who
Speaker 1: first game him in the hour? Yeah, because they were
Speaker 1: just trying to be like what are you saying, bro,
Speaker 1: Like what you fucking Oh yeah, dear, Yeah, I hit
Speaker 1: a dear. So I'm gonna go. But it's just kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, we always just look at the
Speaker 1: kinds of people who occupy these higher officers, right, and
Speaker 1: you're the top cop of this state, and you're some
Speaker 1: guy who's like refusing to resign even though you admit
Speaker 1: you freaking At the very least at the most optimistic
Speaker 1: version of this is that he was distracted and tragically
Speaker 1: killed a pedestrian and still drove off, you know, and
Speaker 1: yet you still can't have the wherewithal to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not I should I actually I'm gonna resign. This
Speaker 1: is this is a bad situation for everyone. I don't
Speaker 1: mean to be a distraction, but they also think that, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit of infighting too, and
Speaker 1: like the Republican Party within there, and that's why, like
Speaker 1: no one was throwing this guy under the bus. But
Speaker 1: it also feels like just very straightforward case of like you, yeah,
Speaker 1: you should resign more than any kind of gaming, right,
Speaker 1: But he feels like he needs to represent the Megan
Speaker 1: Nation in South Dakota, so he's, uh, he cut a
Speaker 1: deal with the prosecutors. He hasn't commented yet since this
Speaker 1: time what he'll do. He can still run for re election,
Speaker 1: no word yet as to whether or not he'll do that,
Speaker 1: but he definitely hasn't said he's not going to and
Speaker 1: he's you know, as of now, he said he has
Speaker 1: no plan to resign. Are you guys gonna make this election?
Speaker 1: About that time when I hit a guy with my
Speaker 1: car and his head came through my windshield and I
Speaker 1: drove off. Because that's head South Dakota. People don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about that. They want to talk about the issues.
Speaker 1: They want to talk about the immigrants that are coming
Speaker 1: to South Dakota. That's when we talked about we should
Speaker 1: replace Abraham Lincoln's face on Mount Rushmore with Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: thank you. That's a real thing, is it. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know, he's a Trump supporter and Dakota I could
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah. Yeah. And also for the talk of
Speaker 1: him like Trump's like, you know, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican,
Speaker 1: so and I'm kind of the greatest Republican now, so
Speaker 1: maybe swap it out just saying Trump Reagan best not
Speaker 1: even Trump wouldn't even allow anyone else, right, and then
Speaker 1: at the end expressions like this foreheaded hydro mountain. Right,
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about vac's mandates because this is
Speaker 1: kind of positive news. A new poll has found that
Speaker 1: vaccine hesitancy is on a downward trend. Yeah. Yeah, adults
Speaker 1: now say they've already taken the vaccine. Another eight percent
Speaker 1: say they're likely to take it. Who said they're either
Speaker 1: not very likely or not at all likely are a
Speaker 1: new low in the service. So normally it was about
Speaker 1: in March, they said it was thirty percent of people
Speaker 1: pulled we're making up this group saying they were either
Speaker 1: not very likely or not at all likely. Was that
Speaker 1: and that was in March two weeks ago, it was
Speaker 1: at and this this go around, it's at so it's
Speaker 1: kind of it's it's contracting. And yeah, then even like
Speaker 1: there's even parents now who are saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna have they're gonna be vaccinated, but they're
Speaker 1: also going to make sure their kids are vaccinated or
Speaker 1: are likely to as soon as it's permitted for that
Speaker 1: age group. And that's the highest share ever in the survey,
Speaker 1: and a twelve point spike from fifty six percent just
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. So fifty six percent two weeks ago
Speaker 1: parents were like, yeah, man, I'm not I don't only
Speaker 1: fifty were saying they were gonna ge vaccinated. Now we're
Speaker 1: at so you know, that's that's huge. I know people
Speaker 1: who got vaccinated themselves, but are like I know some
Speaker 1: people who have like let it take over there, like
Speaker 1: entire lives, like the idea that they're going to make
Speaker 1: us vaccinate our kids and like that, you know, just
Speaker 1: abject terror at that idea. Another's come around. No, not
Speaker 1: so I'm really happy to see this because I I
Speaker 1: do think the you know wants it's a proved for children.
Speaker 1: The getting children vaccinated is going to be a real fight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, right now they make up for the largest
Speaker 1: group of unvaccinated people in the country are kids. Because
Speaker 1: and looking at all the anecdotal evidence you know around,
Speaker 1: I'm sure people like you know, there's so a lot
Speaker 1: of people are asking what's driving the trend. Clearly, I
Speaker 1: did imagine the delta variant is giving people new data
Speaker 1: to work with, which is like, holy sh it, dude,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who have either got
Speaker 1: it or I know someone who passed away or gotten
Speaker 1: serious health trouble with it. And and also it's not
Speaker 1: like their favorite radio personalities that keep going down dying
Speaker 1: of COVID who start off being on anti vacs. They're
Speaker 1: not pulling some Tupac mac of Velly fake death stunts,
Speaker 1: says you, Miles, all right, you don't know. They're not
Speaker 1: pulling a stunt. They're not pulling a maca Velly stunt.
Speaker 1: The FBI might be taking them out though, dude, FBI
Speaker 1: begin with the same letter, thank you too much? Right,
Speaker 1: so they know too much. They know covid' is real.
Speaker 1: The whole thing though, is that more than all of
Speaker 1: those things combined. It's just the fact that the vaccine
Speaker 1: mandates have created a different environment where now people are
Speaker 1: kind of getting over their ship because they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: like must be this tall to ride, well, I want
Speaker 1: to ride. So before it was easy to just kind
Speaker 1: of sneak on with my thick old shoes to make
Speaker 1: the height requirement. But now I think because more and
Speaker 1: more you're seeing employers and like school districts and things
Speaker 1: like that mandating it, that it's becoming, you know, just
Speaker 1: more commonplace. They say one in three unvaccine Americans and
Speaker 1: the surveys that FDA approval would make them likely to
Speaker 1: take the vaccine, but forty said their boss requiring vaccinations
Speaker 1: would make them likely to do so, which is up
Speaker 1: from thirty only you know, a month ago, only a
Speaker 1: third we're saying, well, if it's required, maybe I'll do it.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's it's something yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: that's like a bonus of pro to capitalism. I guess, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. That's how I know it works.
Speaker 1: You know, again, there's been there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: tweets like that, and just in generally, even if for
Speaker 1: the people who are vaccine hesitant and try and bring
Speaker 1: up all these like sort of theories about like well,
Speaker 1: you know the pharmaceutical companies and blooded, yes, that's true,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of funkery going on with big farmat
Speaker 1: there's that's undeniable. But when you know that there's the
Speaker 1: whole like foundation of consumer capitalism, like it requires healthy consumers,
Speaker 1: you damn right, the fucking vaccine is gonna work. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna pivot to some new form of an economy
Speaker 1: just to be like we don't need to do with
Speaker 1: this vaccine. It's yeah, it works, And even in your
Speaker 1: most cynical read, you're like, that's it. It's probably working.
Speaker 1: That's why they want it. So yeah, And I mean
Speaker 1: it's a trick. It's the social pressure that I think
Speaker 1: everybody's used to when it comes to vaccines, which is now,
Speaker 1: that's fine, you don't need to get a vaccine. You've
Speaker 1: got you've got your kid all day. They can't come
Speaker 1: to our school like that's that's coming into effect more
Speaker 1: and more, which you know, is why I think we're
Speaker 1: seeing these wild ass scenes at school board meetings because
Speaker 1: that is like this is hopefully their last like you know, desperation,
Speaker 1: like death throws of the movement because they're not going
Speaker 1: to successfully be able to get them to be like now,
Speaker 1: you're right, we were too trusting of the vaccine and
Speaker 1: we also were planning on harvesting your kid's adrene of
Speaker 1: chrome like the it's it's just not gonna happen hopefully,
Speaker 1: you know, are just gonna do the vaccine man did
Speaker 1: as soon as it's FD approved for kids, which I
Speaker 1: guess is going to be a while, but right, I
Speaker 1: mean at best, right, like they'll be like all right,
Speaker 1: it's like everything they get into it's like, oh funk,
Speaker 1: all right, Well we're off the new culture war thing
Speaker 1: of like the masks and like our christian like right too,
Speaker 1: you know, free our faces because Jesus, once that melts away,
Speaker 1: it'll just go right back to like rigged elections, because
Speaker 1: that's always what it's. That's the thing powering a lot
Speaker 1: of it now is just this idea that it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: we're losing control. Yeah. But one thing that is interesting
Speaker 1: in this bowl they said just at the very last
Speaker 1: sort of finding, which was quote the share of Americans
Speaker 1: who say they feel hopeful right now has plummeted to
Speaker 1: thirty that's from percent in March. But those saying they
Speaker 1: feel motivated, energized, inspired, or resilient has risen by at
Speaker 1: least as much like that for us, which we're not interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not like optimistic because yeah, we've lived there the
Speaker 1: past two years, we've lived through the past six years.
Speaker 1: But we're energized and feeling resilient. I like that for
Speaker 1: America right now. That's what I think. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's where we need to be. Yeah, but we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean that could be like, yeah, I'm feeling resilient
Speaker 1: against the tyranny. But they said that that, like the
Speaker 1: hope has gone down and the resiliency has gone Motivation, inspiration,
Speaker 1: and energy have they seem to be related based on
Speaker 1: this analysis. So yeah, that's an interesting little peering there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: put on my little pandemic bootstraps, America. Here we go. Also,
Speaker 1: I feel like hope has a bad name after the
Speaker 1: Obama administration, Like people are like, I don't feel just hope.
Speaker 1: What's called optimism? I mean? And that's been the general
Speaker 1: trend because in March it was like hot vas everything
Speaker 1: you know, and we're like it's fine, and they're like, no,
Speaker 1: it's not actually what the funk are So yeah, but
Speaker 1: I guess along with that, just as much as people
Speaker 1: want to do the right thing, there's just a grown
Speaker 1: number of people who also want to sidestep the whole
Speaker 1: vaccine mandate thing. And this is where you see capitalism
Speaker 1: really going to work. So yeah, like if you go
Speaker 1: on Instagram, you'll see there there these accounts and all
Speaker 1: over social media that promised vaccine cards from anywhere from
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks to like five hundred bucks, and they'll
Speaker 1: say like, Yo, we got the real we got some
Speaker 1: nice vaccine cards. We've got the CDC one if you're
Speaker 1: in the UK, we got the NHS fucking joints. What
Speaker 1: the fun you needn't got it? Uh? No questions asked.
Speaker 1: Pay us through Apple pay or bitcoin. Shipping is quick
Speaker 1: and you will be deceiving your employers in no time.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's just been over the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks we've seen an increase of like stories that are
Speaker 1: just around like the use of these cards, or like
Speaker 1: the FEDS busting shipments last week in like Tennessee and
Speaker 1: in allow Aska. The Fez got over like six thousand
Speaker 1: vaccination cards, like in different shipments that were from China
Speaker 1: that were like basically destined for people across the US
Speaker 1: who are trying to get in on that you know,
Speaker 1: that replica that rep vaccine card, and they were all
Speaker 1: printed with the CBC logo and like looked super super close.
Speaker 1: They said. However, when the when officials looked closer, they
Speaker 1: noticed spelling mistakes and poor printing quality, so they weren't
Speaker 1: quite one to one, as we say in the replica world.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's, it's it's this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a thing because we have the dumbest looking vaccination cards
Speaker 1: to just like evaluate it because it really looks like
Speaker 1: ship It is just a piece of paper like someone's
Speaker 1: handwriting on it. Yeah, do you mind has like white
Speaker 1: out on it for some reason, So it's like mine,
Speaker 1: I think gets more scrutiny than like a fake one
Speaker 1: would because people are white it out. Yeah, the very
Speaker 1: first No, it's like typed over. The white out is
Speaker 1: like fiser and the date that I got it, I
Speaker 1: mean the first dose. I'm I used to dabble in
Speaker 1: the extra legal entrepreneurial arts and when I was at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium getting my vaccine. There was just a pile
Speaker 1: of them ships, like the cards, just out in the open.
Speaker 1: I was like, Bro, you could just wipe this ship
Speaker 1: right now and so this ship and get it going.
Speaker 1: But I'm a I'm a better person now, I'm an
Speaker 1: adult who feels more responsible to the people around me.
Speaker 1: And I was just like it was sort of blowing
Speaker 1: my mind that I'm like, well, if I'm thinking this,
Speaker 1: you know, people could work there, take a couple, sell
Speaker 1: them off on the side, and make good money because
Speaker 1: we don't have anything that's even remotely close to having
Speaker 1: any kind of like security features built into like our money,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like try it with that.
Speaker 1: Put her a black light and there's like a saying
Speaker 1: that's like only the CDC paper has or whatever, Like
Speaker 1: there's nothing like that. It's literally just a piece of paper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't get why you're like all these branches
Speaker 1: are so bad at Like even the unemployment website was
Speaker 1: like twenty years behind, Like how do these people not
Speaker 1: know how to get with the times because they all
Speaker 1: like for the past forty years in our entire lifetime,
Speaker 1: like there's been this idea like from the Center out
Speaker 1: that like small government is the answer. Defund government programs
Speaker 1: because they just make people lazy. And then like the
Speaker 1: people who want to use government programs are the onus
Speaker 1: is on them to basically be the bureaucrats. So you
Speaker 1: have a full time job trying to like figure out
Speaker 1: how to use anything and it's a complete fucking mess.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and I think a lot of people who
Speaker 1: work in any kind of bureaucracy, federally, municipally, whatever, there's
Speaker 1: also just like a lack of fresh people in there.
Speaker 1: It's like life first work there, and then like they
Speaker 1: just can't adapt. Even if like a city passes a
Speaker 1: budget to do something different, it'll get to them and
Speaker 1: like they're like, I don't know how to think about
Speaker 1: this differently than the way we've just been doing it
Speaker 1: because I just kind of don't. I'm not really inspired
Speaker 1: by my work sometimes, and you know that's why it's
Speaker 1: frustrating for the people that do work at these places,
Speaker 1: and like it's so easy if we just did this,
Speaker 1: it would be so much easier for people to get
Speaker 1: access to things, but it just takes a super long time.
Speaker 1: And like again, I posted a picture like in the
Speaker 1: dock of just like this like one version of an
Speaker 1: Instagram ad where the fucking account name it's been taken down,
Speaker 1: but it's called it was COVID nineteen underscore vaccination cards
Speaker 1: in USA zero and they're saying, like we got them.
Speaker 1: Hit us up at this like WhatsApp number, and Instagram
Speaker 1: says they're taking them down, but a lot of the people,
Speaker 1: like in this BBC article, they were saying that there
Speaker 1: was even though they take them down, there were plenty
Speaker 1: of other ones they could find very quick. So they're
Speaker 1: playing like this fuck up whack a mole game with
Speaker 1: these counterfeit accounts coming up and buying Instagram ads for this. Well, no,
Speaker 1: not buying Instagram ads, but like if you use like
Speaker 1: the it's like, you know, it's all hashtag based too,
Speaker 1: because like if you start getting into the hashtags, you
Speaker 1: can find things and I'm sure just aggressively if you're
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, maybe there's a user name
Speaker 1: called like vaccination cards for COVID US, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, And there's one, but you know the UK
Speaker 1: and like Denmark, they're either using or are developing like
Speaker 1: digital sort of mechanisms to make it fucking harder, because
Speaker 1: what use is it to have vaccine mandates if you
Speaker 1: can't actually have like determine who has been vaccinated or not.
Speaker 1: You go by like, well, who's who's clever enough to
Speaker 1: just get a card? But well, there are like digital records,
Speaker 1: at least I know here in l A, Like if
Speaker 1: you brought vaccinated, there is a digital record, and I
Speaker 1: think you can even make it like put it on
Speaker 1: your passport, like on your iPhone. Yeah, yeah for that.
Speaker 1: But then there's ones that like it's harder, right, like
Speaker 1: depending on who, like if you went to a different
Speaker 1: county or like a difference you got it from a
Speaker 1: doctor or something, it could be different, And so that
Speaker 1: card just makes it the thing that like most people
Speaker 1: can rely on to verify. But if you go any
Speaker 1: any place I've been that said like gif to show
Speaker 1: proof of vaccination, it's like you can bring your little
Speaker 1: rinky dink card and show it to somebody who's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: they showed me a square that's at CDC on it,
Speaker 1: so fine, come on in. Or it's like or you know,
Speaker 1: just like bring a picture of it. Yeah, and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: that's even easier than faking a fucking hard copy photoshop
Speaker 1: that mug and you got a fake vaccine card. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there definitely needs to be a standardized like app thatever.
Speaker 1: That's what Israel was doing, like from Jump, Like they
Speaker 1: had an app that, like you brought up. It had
Speaker 1: like a moving picture that like people could scan and
Speaker 1: that would tell you for sure. So like it's not
Speaker 1: a thing that could be photo shops. It's not still image.
Speaker 1: It's not a like they had a very like detailed
Speaker 1: system for it. Like I don't don't have an idea.
Speaker 1: I have an idea. What if when we got the
Speaker 1: shot itself, they could put like a chip that would
Speaker 1: know like in our body track and then that wouldn't
Speaker 1: know you would just have to like yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would just like glow or something, or they could
Speaker 1: just scan you real quick so you have that chip.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. I think that'd be really cool and
Speaker 1: it could run on like Windows or something. I wanted
Speaker 1: to like whatever you want it. But yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the reason, you know, maybe things could change in the US,
Speaker 1: although there's no like real I think like articulated plan
Speaker 1: to have these like digital passes is that a lot
Speaker 1: of the business owning community is like what about like,
Speaker 1: how could don't we be liable if someone comes in
Speaker 1: with a fake card and like anything bad were to
Speaker 1: happen because we let people in with fake cards or
Speaker 1: like we didn't know, and like the whole thing is
Speaker 1: gonna boil down to whether or not we could determine
Speaker 1: if a card was fake or not. That could be
Speaker 1: a concern. So I don't know, I'm sure there's there's
Speaker 1: there's there's probably a little bit of sweating on that
Speaker 1: side because a lot of like like people who work
Speaker 1: at bars kind of say the same thing. It's like
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to tell if you know, you're
Speaker 1: not really trained to like identify a fraudulent card versus
Speaker 1: a real one. Yeah, but the main thing is they
Speaker 1: need to be doing the vaccine mandate, Like that's first
Speaker 1: order of business. Yeah, because it works. And after this break,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a group that is dragging
Speaker 1: their heels movie theaters and why they need to just
Speaker 1: fucking make make it a mandate. Already. We will be
Speaker 1: right back and we're back. Cinema Con was in Vegas
Speaker 1: last week. This was like I don't know they really
Speaker 1: I think I feel like it just benefited from like
Speaker 1: a lot of built up like releases and stuff, because
Speaker 1: like they they had a Spiderman trailer, the fourth Matrix
Speaker 1: movie trailer, they screened the upcoming Ghostbusters movie. They showed
Speaker 1: the first thirteen minutes of Top Gun. I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: I would I would have gone to that if I
Speaker 1: had heard all the ship they were doing and if
Speaker 1: there wasn't a global pandemic kind of Caesar's Palace for
Speaker 1: minutes the Top Gun. But the overall message of the
Speaker 1: convention was it's time to come back to the movie cinemas.
Speaker 1: As the head of NATO said this dude, John fifty
Speaker 1: and literally said, people are dying to get back to
Speaker 1: the theaters. Probably not the best way to phrase that, right,
Speaker 1: People are dying in service of the industry restarting. And
Speaker 1: so we are in like another slowdown at the box
Speaker 1: office because everything, you know, people are justifiably freaked out
Speaker 1: by the the what's it called, do you know? The
Speaker 1: thing that's killing all the people. But so they're starting
Speaker 1: to delay releases again, and that's like freaking all the
Speaker 1: studios out Cliff for the Big Red Dog movie. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's when that's when I said enough is enough with
Speaker 1: US had to get involved. Yeah, I'm assuming NATO is
Speaker 1: like National Associated Theater Theater. Okay, no, I like the
Speaker 1: North Atlantic Tree Organization. It's like, yeah, I did go
Speaker 1: through this entire story thinking that it was the head
Speaker 1: of NATO, NATO, like the the big one. Because I'm
Speaker 1: just for fun, just for funzies, let's assume it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Venom two has been delayed by a month, and they're blaming.
Speaker 1: They're blaming like the vaccine. But they're just trying to
Speaker 1: like basically comfort people into coming back to the theaters
Speaker 1: without actually doing the thing that is going to make
Speaker 1: people comfortable, which is a vaccine mandate. Like they just
Speaker 1: for some fucking reason. I mean, I know the reason
Speaker 1: they're They're worried that it's gonna you know, their theaters
Speaker 1: are going to be the sites of like a bunch
Speaker 1: of protests and angry you know, right wingers, and like
Speaker 1: there has to be something more at work there, like
Speaker 1: perhaps just among theater owners they are also antivactors or something,
Speaker 1: because it just doesn't it doesn't make sense that they
Speaker 1: would not put the vaccine mandate in place. Wait, so
Speaker 1: it is like they all got together and agreed, like
Speaker 1: unanimously not to do a vaccine mandates, like nobody's doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody's doing it. Like what's stopping like a random owner
Speaker 1: of a movie theater from you on that themselves? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, well yeah, I mean it probably depends on
Speaker 1: the you know, of the thousands of theaters, who knows,
Speaker 1: it's like only a handful of probably even taking those steps.
Speaker 1: But because you think of right, the reason people aren't
Speaker 1: going is because they don't feel comfortable given the pandemic.
Speaker 1: And even though like there was a little bit of
Speaker 1: I mean even I had optimism, like right after I
Speaker 1: got my second dose and I was fully vacid, I'm like,
Speaker 1: should I can go to a fucking movie? And then
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, hold on with we we haven't
Speaker 1: actually handled this, and now there's a delta variant. Then
Speaker 1: I found myself being like, funk that I'm going to
Speaker 1: fucking movie ever again. Yeah. Yeah, So, and I think
Speaker 1: it's so it's odd they're not. You know, when you
Speaker 1: think of what's the easiest solution is like make the
Speaker 1: people want to think that this place isn't a vector
Speaker 1: for illness or at least a high risk activity. Yet
Speaker 1: it's still dragon So New York instituted like basically vaccine
Speaker 1: mandates for most activities, including into the movies, and rather
Speaker 1: than being like, all right, like maybe this is what
Speaker 1: everybody should be doing, the head of the National Association
Speaker 1: of Theater Theater Owners of New York is like, a damn,
Speaker 1: that's gonna trigger another round of release delays, so that
Speaker 1: it's just like that hyper near focus, like short term
Speaker 1: thinking is what's going on where they're like, but like
Speaker 1: some of the people won't be vaccinated and it'll like
Speaker 1: be a little bump in attendance and that will scare
Speaker 1: the studios off essentially. But I don't know. Every time
Speaker 1: I've been to where vaccines are mandated, including like some
Speaker 1: organized by a small school, some organized by a group
Speaker 1: of friends, like it's been very easy to implement. Granted
Speaker 1: it's because like you know, we're just looking at each
Speaker 1: other's vaccine cards and assuming that nobody's like faking them.
Speaker 1: But like some of the theater owners are like, it's
Speaker 1: going to be very difficult. We don't have the infrastructure
Speaker 1: in place. It's just like, what are you talking infrastructure
Speaker 1: to check someone's vaccination stead Yeah, Like I got kicked
Speaker 1: out of lethal weapon three when I was like thirteen
Speaker 1: for not being seventeen, right, and my dad bought the ticket.
Speaker 1: So like they're they've they've got eg theater people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, although I don't know, there's a couple of
Speaker 1: theaters I used to go to fucking lawless so in
Speaker 1: some instances, but at the end of the day, like
Speaker 1: it's these just sound like really weird excuses or they
Speaker 1: just they completely don't have any imagination on how to
Speaker 1: do anything safely because they've just taken for granted that
Speaker 1: like they had like a recession proof business or something
Speaker 1: that was like, yeah, people always like going to the movies,
Speaker 1: and it's like, wait, now I gotta like think of
Speaker 1: how to make sure people aren't. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot longer until you do. NATO. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it just that you think most of your ticket
Speaker 1: fires are the kind who would protest this. It's like
Speaker 1: I was not like that the super right wing hated
Speaker 1: movies and liberal media and all that stuff have to
Speaker 1: make their own crap films, right because really going to
Speaker 1: the theater anyway probably not. Yeah, it's just weird. It's
Speaker 1: like one of those things. It's like they're like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the person to stand up
Speaker 1: to say what's right because there's an element of friction
Speaker 1: that comes along with that. But it's like you're but
Speaker 1: you have to at a certain point, you have to
Speaker 1: do what's right. So fuck whatever you think people's response
Speaker 1: to that is going to be. You have to do
Speaker 1: what is going to be right. But I don't know
Speaker 1: why I think NATO or NATONI in the in the
Speaker 1: version of the New York subsect, is going to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. It would be Tony, wouldn't it Nato.
Speaker 1: H And why we see you? All right, let's check
Speaker 1: in with Mike Richards. He gone, who yeah, So, I
Speaker 1: mean it was quick. You know, it was like a
Speaker 1: week and a half ago that he announced himself as
Speaker 1: a replacement for Alex Trebek self coordination. Uh yeah, put
Speaker 1: it put the crown on a new detail in this report.
Speaker 1: Like in addition to them just being like yeah, it
Speaker 1: became clear that like it was gonna be too much
Speaker 1: of a distraction to keep him at Jeopardy where they're
Speaker 1: like no internal or external support for him. Everyone hated
Speaker 1: him in details that they He was pulled as host
Speaker 1: after a day of production so I don't know if they,
Speaker 1: like people have assumed it was the timing of that
Speaker 1: Ringer thing, but I also like a detail in the
Speaker 1: Ringer thing that they talked about is that like when
Speaker 1: he tried to make himself the host of The Price
Speaker 1: Is right when he took over his VP or as
Speaker 1: a producer there, the people were like, man, he's like
Speaker 1: really just not talented, like he just he like knows
Speaker 1: he has a lot of enthusiasm, but like that, there's
Speaker 1: just like not much there. I'm like when I watched
Speaker 1: his introduction where he's like, Hi, I'm stepping in for
Speaker 1: Ken Jennings because he couldn't make it work, which was
Speaker 1: a lie he was. He's just like not a not
Speaker 1: a talented like person who you want to watch on TV.
Speaker 1: He just seems like a very very excited, energetic but like, yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing basically replacement level TV show host, like the TV
Speaker 1: show host in like an eighties movie What a Long
Speaker 1: White Man managed to get to the highest again? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is happening here? I just don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's just you know, he's done. He's I
Speaker 1: think he's also off wheel of fortune too, Like he's
Speaker 1: completely that Sony like he's not he has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the shows at all, So audios sir. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think this was all well well done by
Speaker 1: the Ranger and by public outrage and all that, because
Speaker 1: like people are like, why does everybody give a ship
Speaker 1: about Jeopardy, Like you know, nobody really watched the Jeopardy
Speaker 1: or like, I feel like all these people who are
Speaker 1: mad about this don't watch Jeopardy. But I think it's
Speaker 1: like just a case of you know, like a mediocre
Speaker 1: white guy giving himself all the advantages and like become
Speaker 1: giving himself a job that like the consumers would much
Speaker 1: rather see like literally almost anyone else there, right, And
Speaker 1: I mean, like think of just the audience though too.
Speaker 1: These people like information. They like this isn't like frivoloust
Speaker 1: game show where it's like name the fart or something like.
Speaker 1: They're these are people who like getting really into details
Speaker 1: and information and researching you ship that it seems like
Speaker 1: a group would be like this guy doesn't have the
Speaker 1: fucking goods, you know. And I think also a lot
Speaker 1: of people just were so hoping for like something life affirming,
Speaker 1: like Alex Trebeck, Like even if you didn't like Jeopardy
Speaker 1: a lot. Like you probably had seen it and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's like this energy about him. That's great that you'd
Speaker 1: want that. There were many people who came along. Ag Oh,
Speaker 1: this could be good. This could be good only for
Speaker 1: Michael Richards, right up. I probably shouldn't say Michael Richards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know they're all they're all the same. Yeah. Now
Speaker 1: he's going to go off to the island where Michael
Speaker 1: Richards is just hanging out after post career. Yeah, wait,
Speaker 1: is he on an island? No? I was just saying
Speaker 1: that would be funny if like he and start hanging
Speaker 1: out together. Now they're just like and like, can you
Speaker 1: Believe this ship? They should have a podcast called can
Speaker 1: you Believe This Ship? That's a great idea. All right,
Speaker 1: And finally, I don't know, do you guys have have
Speaker 1: you guys seen Ted Lasso? Do you guys have first feelings?
Speaker 1: I have not seen any of it in the first season.
Speaker 1: I don't have strong feelings in either direction. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it was cool, it was it's it's easy to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go a dude, ted Lasso brows down easy and he
Speaker 1: goes down easy. It's very you know it feels fun
Speaker 1: and positive. I liked it just for a little bit
Speaker 1: of you know, footy humor, but it wasn't like I
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't part of the group who like lost their
Speaker 1: minds about it. But I also see why people enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: because like, if you really like are aware of your
Speaker 1: media diet, something that feels like, you know, sprinkles on
Speaker 1: your tummy and and fun and positive like ted Lasso
Speaker 1: would probably get you be like, oh, thank god, because
Speaker 1: I can't keep watching things about how we fucked up
Speaker 1: the pandemic or murderous teachers or whatever the funk else
Speaker 1: is on TV. Right, So there is a online backlash
Speaker 1: happening because I mean, it was like really a lot
Speaker 1: of positive energy coming out for it. It won a
Speaker 1: bunch of awards, and so I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like catching up on it first of all
Speaker 1: and being like, oh, this is like fine, but like
Speaker 1: it's always harder for a show to like live up
Speaker 1: to the hype after it's won awards and after people
Speaker 1: have like told you it's the greatest thing in the world,
Speaker 1: and then they at the around that time, they dropped
Speaker 1: a second season that even like fans of the first
Speaker 1: season don't seem to particularly think is that great? Apparently
Speaker 1: nothing much happens, and the Christmas episode suggests Santa Claus
Speaker 1: literally exists. Oh yes, thanks, Uh, this is an interesting
Speaker 1: look for like a a prestige TV comedy, And yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really have a have a dog
Speaker 1: in the fight. I've seen the first few episodes and
Speaker 1: thought it was solid, but not enough to like keep
Speaker 1: to seek it out. Well, what's it's like, it's like
Speaker 1: this other kind of thing. It's like it's just so good,
Speaker 1: you know, like it's yeah, yeah that Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: maybe for me, like as much as I like nicey nicey,
Speaker 1: you know, I need a little grit too. It can't
Speaker 1: just be all sugar. Why need a little fucking anthrax
Speaker 1: mixed up in there, just a little bit of ploision
Speaker 1: just to make you feel that life is a little
Speaker 1: bit darker. But yeah, but I guess it's like an
Speaker 1: adult Mr Rogers that soccer theme has iPhones. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I did not know any of this about the show,
Speaker 1: like I've seen people tweeting about it, but I thought
Speaker 1: it was the complete Like the vibe I got was
Speaker 1: like that it was like about a depressed guy who's
Speaker 1: like an alcoholic or something. I just reading the tweets wrong.
Speaker 1: That was I think those are the people who are
Speaker 1: sending the tweets. But yeah, so one thing that Jam
Speaker 1: who I get the sense a writer Jam McNabb was
Speaker 1: pointing out in this piece. I get the sense he's
Speaker 1: like sort of in between. He's watched everything and it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: season two is just basically the same season one. He
Speaker 1: doesn't understand what the big backlashes, but he says that
Speaker 1: one thing that like a lot of the discourse is
Speaker 1: missing is that it's like a massive just Apple commercial,
Speaker 1: which seems like that would be like true on the
Speaker 1: nose for an Apple streaming like media platform to like
Speaker 1: actually do. But apparently all of their shows have been
Speaker 1: just massive Apple product placement campaigns. Uh. Their flagship series,
Speaker 1: The Morning Show featured an average of thirty two camera
Speaker 1: shots of Apple products per episode. The second season of
Speaker 1: m Night, Shamalan's Servant was apparently tarnished, according to critics,
Speaker 1: by excessive product placement that often showed scenes through iPhone
Speaker 1: and iPad screen. Oh my god, do you imagine there
Speaker 1: is that a retina display? Yeah, it's the amounts they
Speaker 1: crammed in here is crazy anyway, So watched this guy
Speaker 1: get killed one same pound of character making too FaceTime
Speaker 1: calls at the same time through an iPad and the
Speaker 1: Apple TV. So it's like showing you functionality you didn't
Speaker 1: even know it had. Wait two, do an iPad and
Speaker 1: the Apple TV. Oh, like you got a FaceTime on
Speaker 1: your iPad, and then you can make the TV also
Speaker 1: do another iPad called FaceTime call. That's right, Miles, Apple
Speaker 1: TV can do. I thought we were going to get
Speaker 1: some good product placement. Man, this is actually interesting. So
Speaker 1: I've heard just around town from people who have worked
Speaker 1: on Apple shows that they are hard to deal with.
Speaker 1: And Ryan Johnson, the director of Knives Out when like,
Speaker 1: so he was asking, you know, kind of use iPhones
Speaker 1: in the show in the movie, he was told that
Speaker 1: bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera ever, so like
Speaker 1: the good guys can use it, but bad guys can't,
Speaker 1: which totally is like a you can now figure out
Speaker 1: who done it, because that's got to be there, like
Speaker 1: across the board, like the president, the president, Oh he
Speaker 1: did it, You're like, but he's the president. I'm like,
Speaker 1: just trust me. He's the only motherfucker green in the chat.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Like that's kind of playing on that same trope,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like where there's already like
Speaker 1: a kind of Apple users, like a dude sucking up
Speaker 1: the group chat just get a fucking apple or whatever.
Speaker 1: Most of the time that sends the person with an
Speaker 1: Android deeper into an Android like world where they're like,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to who cares what color my
Speaker 1: bubble is. I'm just contexting you. If you're gonna be
Speaker 1: at Jimmy John soon stop, I hate it, says dude,
Speaker 1: I just it, says Miles liked. I'm gonna be a
Speaker 1: Jimmy on soon on my tool. Just have be a
Speaker 1: thumbs up fucking reaction on their fuck. Jam was pointing
Speaker 1: out that, like the ted Lasso is the ultimate extension
Speaker 1: of that ethos, Like not only is Apple prohibiting villains
Speaker 1: from using iPhones, but the next series that greenlit was
Speaker 1: the most impractically nice person in the world, just constantly
Speaker 1: using iPhones, iPads, Apple, I Puff like everything. So it's
Speaker 1: like the nicer you are, the more Apple products you have. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: cutting a passion of the Christ for Jesus, and he's
Speaker 1: on the cross. Yeah, he facetimes with God when he's
Speaker 1: up on the cross. He's like, forgive them Father, they
Speaker 1: know not what they've done. About to be there in
Speaker 1: a second, Dad, see you soon. You know this isn't
Speaker 1: a side. Sorry, this is but like I miss, I
Speaker 1: think all phones need to fucking bring back real buttons.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of touchscreen. Yeah, why can't we have that.
Speaker 1: I will whatever it is, Android, raizor I don't care
Speaker 1: what it is, I will buy that phone. If you
Speaker 1: want a bigger Like do you need a screen that's
Speaker 1: as big? Because this this is like the thing that
Speaker 1: I felt like BlackBerry was trying to like thread the
Speaker 1: needle until the end of their business, just like okay,
Speaker 1: like how many what's your key to screen ratio? That's
Speaker 1: you'll need because we want to give you all physical keyboard,
Speaker 1: but the screens I have to be huge. For numbers.
Speaker 1: I would love to text, honestly, Like with the numbers
Speaker 1: it wrong because my fat thumb it's always like touch
Speaker 1: on the other letter. You know. Right before we had
Speaker 1: the live stream show, I kept texting producer and hose
Speaker 1: Nie and I was like I kept coming out love
Speaker 1: stream because just the fucking keyboard is too crammed together,
Speaker 1: and I was like, they forget it. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: saw a kid the other day. He was like holding
Speaker 1: his laptop like a phone and was like typing on
Speaker 1: the keyboard with this bums. Just that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: gigantic thumb person George Morrison, and so he James also
Speaker 1: pointing out that like the most emotional like scenes in
Speaker 1: the show are all conducted over Apple products because he's
Speaker 1: separated from his son who was in the US, but
Speaker 1: they're still able to talk through FaceTime. There's a heartwarming
Speaker 1: scene where his son like sends him a drawing and
Speaker 1: then the ted Lasso at ted Lasso on Twitter tweeted
Speaker 1: out the like scene and it got like a hundred
Speaker 1: thousand like so it's like all just part of a
Speaker 1: brilliant He signs his divorce papers using Apple Gear, but
Speaker 1: it's like just frictionless. He's just like signs it, takes picture,
Speaker 1: sends it. You hear the like whoosh and then it's
Speaker 1: like behind him. So divorce complete, Divorce complete. So that's
Speaker 1: like what's troubling as a creative today because like all
Speaker 1: these new all these companies now are like we're gonna
Speaker 1: make content and it's like Apple and all these things.
Speaker 1: It's like great because as somebody who wants to like
Speaker 1: sell a show or like write on something, You're like cool,
Speaker 1: I get all these new opportunities. There's so many options now.
Speaker 1: But then it's also like, oh, but also you have
Speaker 1: to be this person who like shills for this company basically,
Speaker 1: and all the rules are just like make sure that
Speaker 1: you put I voted the pivotal seat, like they even
Speaker 1: give up you know there, like we love your Alison,
Speaker 1: We loved your pilot script for this coming of age
Speaker 1: story in the East Side of Los Angeles, and like
Speaker 1: navigating complex like you know, emotional relationships and you know,
Speaker 1: navigating society. Um I just unfortunately because you you've you
Speaker 1: vividly wrote um the words Samsung Galaxy, and it like
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to pass, unless, of course, willing to
Speaker 1: change the name of the show to you know, I
Speaker 1: I Pad. Would you consider would you consider changing the
Speaker 1: best friend character to be Sirie. You're talking about her
Speaker 1: best friend, the Mexican girl, so she is Serie because
Speaker 1: we were trying to communicate that Siri can you can
Speaker 1: have emotionally depend on her relationships with Siri, you can
Speaker 1: if we did that, couldn't we just do that with
Speaker 1: the white character. I feel it's a little problematic to
Speaker 1: completely erase this character and then make it a robot
Speaker 1: in service of this white character. Could we do Oh no,
Speaker 1: no no. So the Apple sort of has a thing
Speaker 1: with like who uses the product? All right, you guy, guys,
Speaker 1: you guys, don't you know what? You don't even have
Speaker 1: to say anymore. I'm in yeah, great, great, But it's
Speaker 1: just funny because Apple gets away with ship though, like
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime couldn't get away with like having a bunch
Speaker 1: of like people be like getting awesome products from Amazon
Speaker 1: like ever seen. Someone has to have a like I
Speaker 1: feel like and like in the background Jeff Bezos like
Speaker 1: as flying into space as like yeah yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: part of a cold open, as a characters looking on
Speaker 1: there like Amazon Phone. It's like Bazos first his face like, well,
Speaker 1: I'll be this guy. This guy can really do it all,
Speaker 1: you can do it? Hey, Echo finalized divorce Jesus Alison,
Speaker 1: It's been such a pleasure having you on the daily

Speaker 1: considering the whole floor is food. Yeah, and another one
Speaker 1: from Zach Silberberg. It's like a it's like a cover
Speaker 1: of an Anamorphous you know that Animorphous book series where
Speaker 1: it's like it's always like a kid, and then it's
Speaker 1: like the metamorphosis into some kind of animal at the
Speaker 1: end stage and so it's like this blonde woman who's
Speaker 1: like slowly turning into like a rat. And his tweet
Speaker 1: is when you moved to New York, this happens to you.
Speaker 1: It's true, this this image is so stupid, but shout
Speaker 1: out to the rats and online tweeted the worst part

Speaker 1: what song are you linking off? So we're gonna write
Speaker 1: out on a track called Sugar by the band Men
Speaker 1: I Trust, And it's a you don't really dope like
Speaker 1: kind of psych pop sound if you like that sort
Speaker 1: of shimmery guitar and like very like you know, eighties
Speaker 1: kind of energy to it feels like a like a
Speaker 1: commercial for like a candy like a psychedelic eighties candy store.
Speaker 1: That's how I would kind of imagine this track going down.
Speaker 1: So this is Sugar from Man I trust I'm assuming
Speaker 1: it's not a remake of Sugar Sugar at Dense DN Damn.
