Speaker 1: do might really make comedic stylings come through for that.
Speaker 1: All right, Francesco, we are going to get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things that
Speaker 1: we're talking about. On two Days episode, we gave Mike
Speaker 1: Richards the t d Z dump. We we did one
Speaker 1: story on this fool as being the host of Jeopardy
Speaker 1: and he has already fired thanks to the Daily Zeite
Speaker 1: guyst episode, just like Jamie Spears conservatorship kid. Yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: what we had, Babs and tests like. Moments later, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the FEDS going hard on the Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement, which is shocking, I think to everyone
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about COVID being the leading cause of
Speaker 1: death among the police, the ballot of broke Bobby. We
Speaker 1: will talk about the Tesla robot, all of that plenty Moore.
Speaker 1: But first Francesco, we like to ask our guest, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history? I was just looking
Speaker 1: because I just I use Duck Duck Go. They're not
Speaker 1: paying me, but they should. Duca Co is much better
Speaker 1: search engine than Google. And you can rely on this
Speaker 1: like cute little cartoon duck to not you know, steal
Speaker 1: all of your information. So I just this morning. They
Speaker 1: have a great app and you can like erase your
Speaker 1: entire history and like flames go through your phone and
Speaker 1: just like and it was amazing. Spider web on fire.
Speaker 1: It's like I've never done that, but now I want
Speaker 1: to immediately. I was an asshole with W forty fourteen
Speaker 1: at one point. Wow, I didn't realize that was a thing.
Speaker 1: Oh you spray a spider web with I was flamethrown.
Speaker 1: I was flamethrowing with the w D four and then
Speaker 1: you accidentally caught a spider web and I hit the
Speaker 1: spiderweb and then look the way the spiderweb went up.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, And then my mom was like,
Speaker 1: what the fund did I say about playing with fine?
Speaker 1: Like nothing? She's like what, like nothing, I'm so scared
Speaker 1: of you. What so Ductor would like just flame your
Speaker 1: phone up, just blame my phone up. So I don't
Speaker 1: really have anything there, but I was looking okay, So
Speaker 1: I'm engaged. I believe you're having my betrothed on very soon.
Speaker 1: And you know, Matt and I are. I'm going to
Speaker 1: get real. We're very good friends. You know, we're like
Speaker 1: we're the leg I'm not only someone my best friends,
Speaker 1: like we're best friends kind of thing. Yeah, if he
Speaker 1: threw a party and invited everyone he knew you would,
Speaker 1: he would see the biggest gift would be from you.
Speaker 1: I think, oh yeah, probably did you read that in
Speaker 1: a fortune cookie that's from on a throw pillow or
Speaker 1: something that's from the Golden Girls theme song? How I
Speaker 1: take everything I just said back? So, y'all are best friends,
Speaker 1: and you and you finished each other's sentences, your sold
Speaker 1: stuck with each other. But but I am like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've always thought that it was like, yeah, but you
Speaker 1: need more than just being your best friends, so obviously
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like googling like should you marry your
Speaker 1: best friend? Articles? You know straight and you know, I look,
Speaker 1: the answers are bad. All the articles I'm reading, I mean,
Speaker 1: they're good, but they're also bad. But but I remember
Speaker 1: years ago, because I've also been divorced, like I am divorced.
Speaker 1: Years ago, there was a great article from some dude
Speaker 1: who was clearly if I met him, I'd hate him.
Speaker 1: But he was like, um, I asked all of my
Speaker 1: wedding guests to tell me what the secret to their
Speaker 1: marriage was, you know, and he like pulled them and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and it was It was actually really interesting.
Speaker 1: It was like a lot about like mutual respect, Like
Speaker 1: mutual respect is that thing that you really need, and
Speaker 1: and then I think, like, you know, so that comes
Speaker 1: obviously from like being friends whatever. Anyway I'm fishing for.
Speaker 1: I can't find the same article. So I'm fishing for
Speaker 1: like reinforcement that that, yes, you should marry your best
Speaker 1: friend type thing. But if enough brides are blubbering about
Speaker 1: it on their wedding day, then I feel like that's
Speaker 1: a good sign. Yeah, I feel yeah, I mean I think, look,
Speaker 1: I think the only one I don't even think it's
Speaker 1: a red flag. It's just a it's a gray flag.
Speaker 1: Was obviously the faux paw, the flub with the ring selection,
Speaker 1: you know, but even that feels like you're able to
Speaker 1: overcome that, so you know, you can do it behind
Speaker 1: the you know, the new ones on its way. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we did. We did remedy that. It's being mined
Speaker 1: by white chicks who went to Sarah Lawrence. It had
Speaker 1: to make its trip all the way from that that
Speaker 1: mine over there, and it's a very particular it's a
Speaker 1: sort of like reparations for rocks, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a white slavery line and anyway, they they're working
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm excited for when it arrives. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to remedy that. But yeah, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: getting I'm doing the like the pre the like engage
Speaker 1: jitters of like what are the things, what are our
Speaker 1: what are our problem areas that we're going to just
Speaker 1: sort of highlight to like, you know, if this is
Speaker 1: for realities, you know, yeah, but I feel like, y'all,
Speaker 1: if you're together that long and you already have that friendship,
Speaker 1: that's like the hardest ship it's like people who would
Speaker 1: never think about it and then get married. The people
Speaker 1: have problems and you both, I think, have you know,
Speaker 1: understand each other's careers and what you're doing, what you're
Speaker 1: passionate about, and you're willing to support each other. And
Speaker 1: that's really what it takes, you know, versus someone who's
Speaker 1: gonna be like I told you doing all that ha
Speaker 1: ha ship wasn't gonna pay off, like harbor that kind
Speaker 1: of ship the whole time. Yeah, that's not going to work,
Speaker 1: you know, and put that in your little stand up routine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had excess say that to me, Like I thought,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to do comedy, like you probably would
Speaker 1: have done it by now, Like, oh yeah, no, I know.
Speaker 1: And it's tough being a creative person and being with
Speaker 1: someone who's like like an accountant, you know, who's like
Speaker 1: had their path like nailed on from college, versus other
Speaker 1: people who rolling that dice to express themselves a little
Speaker 1: bit or just any field that might not be as
Speaker 1: like consistent, and being a relationship with something like that,
Speaker 1: it takes understanding and respect for them be like that's
Speaker 1: what my partner needs to feel happy, and I want
Speaker 1: to support that because my goal is to have a
Speaker 1: happy partner. I mean, we're gonna get into a story
Speaker 1: that is going to make me rethink whether or not
Speaker 1: I should have just married for money later in this
Speaker 1: episode though, so yeah, I mean, yeah, it's like if
Speaker 1: neither of us makes it in five to seven years, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we might just murder each other or do some like
Speaker 1: joint you know, murder some yeah, the same natural born killers.
Speaker 1: You guys go on a romantic killing spree. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: that's t m I up to. Or just do some
Speaker 1: comedy sets on a COVID cruise ship something. Let's just
Speaker 1: go out like this. What is something you think is overrated? Okay?
Speaker 1: The show Ozark Ozarks. I don't even know Jason Bateman,
Speaker 1: who is so hot and like such a dilf and
Speaker 1: like I really like him, but like there's only so
Speaker 1: much dead pan. Like Hi, um, I am a middle class,
Speaker 1: uh white man who is just gonna run your town.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna trust me because I'm a middle class
Speaker 1: white man who talks like this and incredibly self assured
Speaker 1: and I know money and numbers and uh now I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just run your entire time. It's like that's never
Speaker 1: gonna work. Why would that work? Why would you suddenly
Speaker 1: be allowed to launder massive amounts of drug money through
Speaker 1: this town because you speak like that, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I voted for Obama and I worked on Obama's campaign,
Speaker 1: and you just I don't know the whole thing. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I'm so intolerant with shows, and as soon
Speaker 1: as I've given it enough, and I'm like, I can't
Speaker 1: suspend disbelief anymore. It's an overrated show. People love that show.
Speaker 1: And I was like, it's a knockoff Breaking Bad, and
Speaker 1: that's why I never watched it. But I got through
Speaker 1: the first three episodes of the first season and and
Speaker 1: I'm sort of like the same way, not where like
Speaker 1: I decide that it's over, but the second I lose momentum.
Speaker 1: That's my subconscious being like, no, we're not working with
Speaker 1: this right, or you're like paying more attention to your
Speaker 1: phone when you're right right, right exactly. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at air purifiers when everything's going on. I think
Speaker 1: I work with air purifiers more than I do with Ozark.
Speaker 1: The Outsider was cool though. On HBO, it was kind
Speaker 1: of wild. That was a Jason Bateman that that's one
Speaker 1: of those show titles that when you pluralize it, it's
Speaker 1: funny to me. For Ozarks, it is funny. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's a nice little also slight to it, Ozarks
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, mom ban yeah, mom. Moms have been
Speaker 1: just like disrespecting Hollywood for so long. Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: My dad closed bread Pitt Bread hits famously and I
Speaker 1: do love that. What is something you think is underrated? Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is a band that is like a psychedelic
Speaker 1: Cumbia band out of Colombia and they're called Bomba Studio
Speaker 1: and they've been around for Yeah, they've been around for
Speaker 1: a while, but it just popped up into my feeds
Speaker 1: because this guy named Walter shop who's not just a guy.
Speaker 1: He is the former director of the Office of Government Ethics,
Speaker 1: which I didn't know it was a thing until Trump
Speaker 1: a game president. And he's like tweeting. He's such a
Speaker 1: good follow on Twitter because he's like he holds Biden
Speaker 1: accountable for all the same things that he held Trump
Speaker 1: accountable for, or like you know, whistle blue on on Trump.
Speaker 1: He he left the administration early days, and the guys
Speaker 1: just kind of like no bullshit, and I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: and he like tweeted out that he loved it was
Speaker 1: something like, I don't know, some tweet about like instead
Speaker 1: of being on this crap platform, let's like all listen
Speaker 1: to bomba Studio or I wish I'm trying to work
Speaker 1: like bomba Studio into every tweet and it got like
Speaker 1: eight retweets. The has like seven hundred thousand followers. Nobody
Speaker 1: knows what he's talking about except me, and and like
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Shabby, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: let's dance. It's always funny when someone like there's like
Speaker 1: a track or something, or like someone mentions a band
Speaker 1: that to you feels like, oh my god, the fact
Speaker 1: that you even articulated this thing about the band, like
Speaker 1: we're going to get up already know, And he's like
Speaker 1: the video for so Yo, oh my god, don't sleep
Speaker 1: on that. But that being said, if we ever were
Speaker 1: in the same place, he was like, it's a deal,
Speaker 1: it's a date or whatever, like okay, but not that much,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm like, if we were in the
Speaker 1: same space, he'd totally try to like, you know, do
Speaker 1: the like I'm gonna slightly put my hand on this,
Speaker 1: like on the small of your bad deal. It's a date.
Speaker 1: We're dating now, Yeah, you're my girlfriend. Look I tender?
Speaker 1: Are we? Do you think we're gonna get like sort
Speaker 1: of a uh a new wave of psychedelia like in
Speaker 1: the world of just music and film and just like culture.
Speaker 1: I guess in general, now that we're like realizing that
Speaker 1: psychedelics are like spiritual wonder drugs, probably I mean, even
Speaker 1: if all is people are realizing that, right, all the
Speaker 1: least creative people are more than it being maybe tied
Speaker 1: to the use of psychedelics. I feel like just because
Speaker 1: everyone's so disillusioned that it'll probably make the art pretty
Speaker 1: good because people are like quickly like abandoning these other
Speaker 1: ideals they had and looking for new ones. I feel
Speaker 1: like there's probably more art to be created in that
Speaker 1: part than just like tech bros being like Yo, dude,
Speaker 1: friend did some poison dart, frog fucking venom and Chatsworth
Speaker 1: last night. We're like okay, well yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: our generations, like psychedelic art is kind of the anti art.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's like anti production where everything is
Speaker 1: much more amy and pixelated and like, you know, it is.
Speaker 1: It's the vic Burger stuff of like zoom ins on media.
Speaker 1: So it's like this like that feels in and of itself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a bad trip our version of it, like post
Speaker 1: media media. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's a good point that
Speaker 1: like the people who are finding out about psychedelics are
Speaker 1: like the people who used to be into beer commercials,
Speaker 1: like quote beer commercials as they're like sense of humor.
Speaker 1: They're now going to be like creating a psychedelic memes
Speaker 1: psychedelic toxic masculinity. No, no, no, that that is very
Speaker 1: much a thing, like you like what that aesthetic looks like?
Speaker 1: Like what's what do we call a psychedelic toxic masculine ity? Like, well,
Speaker 1: how does that? What's that look look like? Just like
Speaker 1: tripped out sexual assault issues in baggy linen pants. Yeah
Speaker 1: even Yeah, maybe there's a whole like web of particularly
Speaker 1: the Austin scene of like wellness, fitness and like anti
Speaker 1: vaxers that have created lifestyle brands. If you've heard of
Speaker 1: that guy Aubrey Marcus, he does. He has a lifestyle
Speaker 1: brand con on It that he just sold for a
Speaker 1: bunch of money, and he does like retreats where he
Speaker 1: goes with like to do like treat Trump traumatized people supposedly,
Speaker 1: and it's like he's all about like free love. It's
Speaker 1: like a delis and you know where a daily be
Speaker 1: start to go away from finding out all the non
Speaker 1: consensual crap that went on in there, and it's like, hmmm,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just I was getting into a first
Speaker 1: story I might pitch or hoping to do, and anyway,
Speaker 1: it's a it's not good people. Yeah, when you're there's
Speaker 1: a picture of him like touting a kettle bell mace
Speaker 1: workout like oh like like an exercise iem of not
Speaker 1: really scene and he's just like posing like this all
Speaker 1: shredded up. I'm like, yeah, there's ye go. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems like it's just the anti vax are kind of
Speaker 1: shit is just as big on the left as it
Speaker 1: is on the right, or not quite as big, but
Speaker 1: it's getting there. Or I mean, you know, I guess
Speaker 1: liberal cities where the whole idea where like you can
Speaker 1: just sort of jettison your connection to reality and be
Speaker 1: like I'm on this wellness ship and dollar crystal bar
Speaker 1: that I serve drinks off of because I just read
Speaker 1: about this whole article about how like the most hype
Speaker 1: fucking furniture in some cities. Like there's a place in
Speaker 1: l A that's like these gigantic crystals that they're turning
Speaker 1: into chairs or like planters and things, and like oh
Speaker 1: my god, like it's so great to have this big
Speaker 1: a piece of amethyst or some ship as like a toilet.
Speaker 1: The plant's gonna definitely die, like too much, too much,
Speaker 1: Like all I need is water and sunlight. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: whole Like what are you doing? Yeah, yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: it's more of a circle, I think politically where it's
Speaker 1: like there's that you know, politics and lesser spectrum and
Speaker 1: more of that circle. And you see that alliance around
Speaker 1: anti vax stuff from the left supposedly left wellness community
Speaker 1: and then the kind of like right word maga, like
Speaker 1: you know, the guy that made plandemic is a was
Speaker 1: a yoga instructor from O. Hi Jesus, you retweeted a
Speaker 1: video recently that was like a guy in San Diego
Speaker 1: with blonde dread locks who was just losing his mind
Speaker 1: at a like city council meeting, and I was just
Speaker 1: like if I if you had shown me this five
Speaker 1: years ago, I don't know that I would have head
Speaker 1: children that might have been this is it's like as
Speaker 1: like yeah yeah, and he looks like the most aggressive
Speaker 1: be at the jam band festival, you know where You're like, no, bro,
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy your you know, shitty weed,
Speaker 1: like you trust that indoor stuff? Yeah, okay, yeah, go
Speaker 1: ahead get popcorn long, I don't care. I don't care. No,
Speaker 1: he's and he keeps on like stalking your campsite and ship.
Speaker 1: You know, they's just the whitest, grossest dreads and yeah.
Speaker 1: Or he also has like a like a gnome from
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings vibe right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what are they? There are these? What was Gimli? He's
Speaker 1: a Dwarfs the dwarf? Yeah yeah, it's uh, it's a warrior.
Speaker 1: Don't know that we know about warrior and that their
Speaker 1: use of the Nazi insult Israeli. He's saying that asking
Speaker 1: for vaccine cards is equivalent of being Nazi. There was
Speaker 1: a parent at a a PTA meeting in Alabama who
Speaker 1: after somebody who health expert advocated for the wearing masks,
Speaker 1: that they did a Nazi salute. That's that's the new meme,
Speaker 1: is wearing masks and getting vaccines is like Nazis bro yep.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, wait a minute, no, but it's hit.
Speaker 1: Look I didn't my education was bad, so I don't
Speaker 1: know what history is. So I just know a lot
Speaker 1: of talking points or just buzz words that I string
Speaker 1: together to get other people to follow along. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and yeah, let's talk Mike Richard's real quick
Speaker 1: We talked on Friday's episode about all the reasons that
Speaker 1: his being appointed the host of Jeopardy to replace Alex
Speaker 1: Trebek just didn't make any sense or made a lot
Speaker 1: of sense when you realized he was in control of
Speaker 1: everything everything and was just forcing his way onto being
Speaker 1: the host in a way that was like embarrassing for
Speaker 1: like should have been embarrassing when he first raised it,
Speaker 1: but was just a great testament to the way bad
Speaker 1: decisions get made in corporate America, where like the powerful
Speaker 1: guy who runs the thing, people are just like, yeah, bloss,
Speaker 1: great idea, and uh, it goes all the way until
Speaker 1: he announces, Hey, guys, guess what this great idea everybody's
Speaker 1: on board with I'm going to be the host. Oh cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it seemed like everyone once every people found out, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the behind the scenes is how transparently just
Speaker 1: corrupt and like the rat fucking that it took to
Speaker 1: make him the host, plus all of the allegations from
Speaker 1: his past gigs, plus the comments he was making on
Speaker 1: his podcast finally got to a point where he was like,
Speaker 1: all right, yep, I guess this is bad. Now. I
Speaker 1: resign with immediate effect, and I will no longer be
Speaker 1: the host of Jeopardy. I just want to read his
Speaker 1: fucking like part of his statement though, because it's so
Speaker 1: whatever quote. I was deeply honored to be asked the
Speaker 1: syndicated show my man, Yeah right, thank you, and was
Speaker 1: thrilled by the opportunity to expand my role. However, over
Speaker 1: the last several days, it has become clear that moving
Speaker 1: forward as host would be too much of a distraction
Speaker 1: for our fans and not the right move for the show.
Speaker 1: How about it's clear now over the last several days,
Speaker 1: then I'm a total piece of ship who doesn't deserve
Speaker 1: to rat fuck my way on to Jeopardy as the host.
Speaker 1: That much has been clear. Thank you so much. I'm out.
Speaker 1: That's I feel a lot of ways about this, you know,
Speaker 1: because one of the hilarious things, let's just let's just
Speaker 1: talk about exactly what he did he like in terms
Speaker 1: of the test audience that was supposed to judge which
Speaker 1: guest host they liked best for Jeopardy, he like put
Speaker 1: himself on all of those like did you like me
Speaker 1: in the blue shirt? Or do you like me in
Speaker 1: the gray? And then withheld LaVar Burton, the one who
Speaker 1: like everybody wanted for the very end and only gave
Speaker 1: him a single week and yeah, yeah, I did not
Speaker 1: give anybody else a good ship. But it's a little
Speaker 1: bit revealing as to like how and why people lose
Speaker 1: these kinds of jobs. Because of course there's the like
Speaker 1: he's been canceled for his comments, and I gotta say
Speaker 1: some of his comments are like exactly what I would
Speaker 1: expect from a game show host executive, Like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: misogynists towards women. You want the models to wear bikinis
Speaker 1: game show host executive? Right or wrong? That's what I expect.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying we shouldn't change that culture.
Speaker 1: We should, It's just you know, we're talking about, yeah,
Speaker 1: the last vestige of like the most mainstream the most,
Speaker 1: you know, just like Benny Hill programming that we've got,
Speaker 1: which your game shows, Jeopardy excluded, very very different. But
Speaker 1: then you realize that and I think it just grows
Speaker 1: the way that yeah, he did rad fuck his way
Speaker 1: into power, and that seems more egregious to me than
Speaker 1: the misogyny. Although of course in terms of the workplace,
Speaker 1: like treating a pregnant woman, you know, being like I
Speaker 1: should have fired you obviously, that's like, you know, and
Speaker 1: I believe there is a lawsuit for that. That's just
Speaker 1: straight up illegal whatever discrimination exactly exactly workplace discrimination. But
Speaker 1: there's something so obnoxious also because I I've done, I've
Speaker 1: worked in this area, but on like such a minor
Speaker 1: like you know, Internet level of like as a host.
Speaker 1: I've been hired as host pretty much all the time
Speaker 1: hosts and producer, and then you work with a producer
Speaker 1: who's like secretly really gunning for your job, right, you know,
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, but I think I should host
Speaker 1: this because you know, and you're just like no, because
Speaker 1: give it those aggressive notes on your delivery. It's like,
Speaker 1: excuse you can I give you read real quick? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, don't get me read I'll bite your
Speaker 1: head off personally. But but it's so common, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm always like, if you want to be a host,
Speaker 1: that's totally all good, then you probably shouldn't be the
Speaker 1: executive producer on this, just like take a year whatever,
Speaker 1: be honest about it, say you know what, I really
Speaker 1: want to be a host. I'm gonna do this, you know,
Speaker 1: And that'd be a more fair with no one saying
Speaker 1: a producer can't then be a host. I think that's good.
Speaker 1: But it's like, there's a more fair way to do
Speaker 1: that than just like in span so they say they
Speaker 1: were just like you're like in a movie, like cutting
Speaker 1: the floorboard out from underneath somebody, like right right, and
Speaker 1: they'd be like, well, that's weird. Disappeared anyway, I'm here
Speaker 1: now to feel that let's move forward, like did he
Speaker 1: give back cancer? Can't we not find the wait for
Speaker 1: that report? Yeah, it is frustrating to me that this
Speaker 1: is being pitched in the mainstream as like in the
Speaker 1: mainstream account of this as like getting canceled for a
Speaker 1: thing he said on podcast, And it's like that's the
Speaker 1: least egregious thing, Yeah, that you could possibly take away
Speaker 1: from that but you know, people, people want to believe
Speaker 1: that we're in a runaway, canceled culture, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: that helps with that story. Thank god he's gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's still the executive producer. Yeah, still the EP though,
Speaker 1: still getting that show runner money though he's also he's like, fine,
Speaker 1: I guess we can get Lavarnack, although I wish they
Speaker 1: did that, and then LaVar can be like, look at you,
Speaker 1: look at you. Huh, look at your Anyway, I'm the
Speaker 1: new host of Jeopardy LaVar. Alright, let's talk about some
Speaker 1: reports that are coming in about how the federal government
Speaker 1: and just law enforcement responded to the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: protests last year and protests about over policing. It seems
Speaker 1: like they weren't overly permissive. I guess would be one
Speaker 1: where I mean, yeah, this report really it's it's not
Speaker 1: shocking when you just know, again when the people the
Speaker 1: reason people were in the streets are like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a system of law enforcement that's just built on
Speaker 1: you know, just racism and white supremacy, and so because
Speaker 1: of that, it has no other option but to operate
Speaker 1: in service of white supremacy. So this report is sort
Speaker 1: of like shockingly during the uprisings over the white supremacist
Speaker 1: slant and focus of law enforcement. We saw that come
Speaker 1: to light essentially, And this is a report that was
Speaker 1: shared with First Associated Press with the Movement for Black
Speaker 1: Lives and it's just interest saying like, hey, look, as
Speaker 1: the as the uprisings grew larger and public participation grew larger,
Speaker 1: so did the policing, and the Feds showed up in
Speaker 1: increased numbers and began handing out heavy handed prosecutions to
Speaker 1: disrupt and you know, and also they were surveilling certain
Speaker 1: members of of like certain activists and things like that,
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, it's very co intel proe if
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And in this like as
Speaker 1: this group shows, what they're saying is like, look, we
Speaker 1: also found that in about of the cases that were
Speaker 1: brought by federal prosecutors against protesters, there were state level
Speaker 1: charges that would have been completely appropriate and less severe.
Speaker 1: But they're juxtaposing that also with knowing that there were
Speaker 1: just top down orders from Trump and Bill Barr to
Speaker 1: go fucking after people in a much different way as
Speaker 1: opposed to, let you know, juxtaposed that with the COVID
Speaker 1: shutdown protests where you know, you saw some white people
Speaker 1: bringing fucking guns to state houses and ship was all good.
Speaker 1: And so in this sort of body of the where
Speaker 1: they say, well, we want to really show how the
Speaker 1: US government has continued to persecute the black movement by surveillance,
Speaker 1: by criminalizing protests, and by using the criminal legal system
Speaker 1: to prevent people from protesting and punishing them for being
Speaker 1: engaged in protests, by attempting to curtail their First Amendment rights.
Speaker 1: It is undeniable that racism plays a role. It is
Speaker 1: structurally built into the fabric of this country and its institutions,
Speaker 1: which is why it's been so difficult to eradicate. It's
Speaker 1: based on institutions that were designed around racism and around
Speaker 1: the devaluing of black people and the devaluing of black lives.
Speaker 1: So now they're calling for amnesty for these protesters as
Speaker 1: well as like you know, to get behind policing bills
Speaker 1: that are actually going to take funding from police and
Speaker 1: actually put them into communities, especially black communities, to make
Speaker 1: them safer. So yeah, it's like not surprising, but when
Speaker 1: you again you look through and you're like, oh, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: they they had orders to go harder on these protesters
Speaker 1: and that completely makes sense. Yeah, no, of course, And
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that the Movement for Black Lives did
Speaker 1: this research and also that it got picked up by
Speaker 1: news outlets, because that can often fly under the radar
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, no, that's not real stats. It's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: these are grassis organizations that actually have more connections with
Speaker 1: people facing these charges. And yeah, that's why January six,
Speaker 1: you know, hit different. You know, in the in the
Speaker 1: wake of all this, not just that we were seeing,
Speaker 1: like you're mentioning the anti lockdown protests juxtaposed with BLM
Speaker 1: protests and the vastly different police turn out. Then you
Speaker 1: had January six, and you're like, yeah, anyone who ever
Speaker 1: talks about BLM ever again, I mean that was BLM
Speaker 1: though on January six, Yeah, that was Those were black
Speaker 1: people in white face looking like old boomers beating the
Speaker 1: ship out of people with crutches. It's like, and again,
Speaker 1: the amount of brain twisting that goes on even when
Speaker 1: you can you just look compare the two. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like, let's pepperball people who are like on the
Speaker 1: side of a road protesting versus taking selfies of people
Speaker 1: that broke into the capital, like come on, now, come on,
Speaker 1: not to mention all the ways that BLM demonstrators have
Speaker 1: also been victimized by white nationalist organizations and white nationalists
Speaker 1: themselves from you know how they're higher being killed, but
Speaker 1: multiple people have been run into and over by by cars,
Speaker 1: So you know who the police is protecting. What kind
Speaker 1: of speech are protecting in moments like that is really significant,
Speaker 1: whether they're protecting people's right to exercise their first amendments
Speaker 1: or are they allowing cars to plow into peaceful demonstrators.
Speaker 1: The other thing I was just gonna say, and we
Speaker 1: sort of forget this, but we're coming up on ten
Speaker 1: years since the Occupy Wall Street movement, and it's hard
Speaker 1: to remember how that movement like stopped, and it did
Speaker 1: stop because of a whole lot of cointelpro and police violence.
Speaker 1: It was because it was very much an occupy we're
Speaker 1: gonna sit down like, not as much of a march
Speaker 1: movement like obviously early as many black activists involved, the
Speaker 1: tactics were different, but there was massive amounts of undercovers
Speaker 1: who were filtering, infiltrating the Occupy Wall Street movement to
Speaker 1: take it down from the inside. Also then like just
Speaker 1: coordining off plazas, city halls, anywhere where Occupy Wall Street
Speaker 1: was occupying was fence put up. It was like, you know,
Speaker 1: they were trying to evict a homeless encampment or something
Speaker 1: like this. So kind of remembering all the ways that
Speaker 1: no matter when social movements really pop off, left right, Democrat, Republican,
Speaker 1: the first order of business is stopped them. Just stop them.
Speaker 1: And obviously, sadly, we don't take that. You know, white
Speaker 1: nationalists or anyone who's fully armed with an a R
Speaker 1: fifteen who's got a plot to like, you know, kidnap
Speaker 1: the A governor, we don't take them nearly as seriously. Right,
Speaker 1: the white nationalists blew up a state building in Oklahoma City,
Speaker 1: and we didn't go to war on white nationalism for
Speaker 1: twenty years the way we did after September eleven. It
Speaker 1: was just a thing that people kind of we got,
Speaker 1: we got the guy, and we moved forward, and it
Speaker 1: was just a lone, lone wolfe. You some more, you
Speaker 1: some more bombs if the field of battle is in
Speaker 1: another place, in a far off country, so there's more
Speaker 1: money to be made. I mean, they could drop bombs
Speaker 1: in the US, but that only happened in Philadelphia that
Speaker 1: when they dropped it on black activists because of the
Speaker 1: move anyway. But again, history is something, there's something, and
Speaker 1: there's no there's you know, we keep repeating the same
Speaker 1: ship over and over and over, and that's what's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why a lot of marginalized people,
Speaker 1: people who are allies and should just feel so disheartened.
Speaker 1: Constantly you see all the ship that happens, you like,
Speaker 1: fucking nothings. We can't even we can barely have a
Speaker 1: reckoning with American imperialism and looking at the after effects
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan and people are like, you know, it could
Speaker 1: have been done better. I guess it's like, no, you
Speaker 1: go all the way back saying we have to stop
Speaker 1: this pattern of sending the military abroad to occupy places
Speaker 1: and in the name of you know, liberal democracy or
Speaker 1: whatever the cover is. But yeah, we still can't. It's
Speaker 1: just very difficult to have these reckonings here. I feel
Speaker 1: like there were multiple cases of people driving into Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter protests that and it just kind of went away.
Speaker 1: Like I remember watching one that was like broad Daylight
Speaker 1: down and it was like somewhere in Orange Newport Beach
Speaker 1: and somebody drove through, like came within inches of hitting
Speaker 1: like a three year old child who was there, and
Speaker 1: it just kind of went away. It was like a
Speaker 1: local news story that they then were like, yeah, well
Speaker 1: we got to give the person the benefit of the
Speaker 1: doubt and it wasn't like a big that didn't become
Speaker 1: a thing. And the other thing to Tuesday, and you
Speaker 1: talk about places like Texas or Florida where they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's legal to run over someone if they're in the
Speaker 1: road protesting, or it's illegal to be in the road protesting.
Speaker 1: So if that's the ace that you can defend yourself
Speaker 1: with your car. But a lot of people noticed when
Speaker 1: a lot of the protests were happening with Cubans in
Speaker 1: Florida over what was happening down in King Cuba. They
Speaker 1: completely stopped a roadway and the police were like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're mostly we're mostly worried about black people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: black protests or left leaning protests. Really that that's when
Speaker 1: the big guns come out like that. There was that
Speaker 1: pipeline protests that I know some people who were at
Speaker 1: in I forget what year it was. It was like
Speaker 1: maybe five six years ago and access, Yeah, the DA
Speaker 1: code access pipeline and like the like they were they
Speaker 1: were like just debting all cell phones, like hacking into
Speaker 1: people's cell phones. They're like on the ground, it was
Speaker 1: just like next level like data and you know, technological
Speaker 1: warfare for people protesting against a like gas pipeline. Gas pipeline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really it's really sad because you realize you don't
Speaker 1: realize how few freedoms we have actually in the United
Speaker 1: States until you try and exercise them. So I've protested
Speaker 1: in other countries and felt far freer than I have
Speaker 1: in the United States. I've been arrested on a sidewalk
Speaker 1: protesting in the United States, you know, just like pending done.
Speaker 1: The order is you off the streets, you know, and
Speaker 1: like feeling that in that moment, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, I've been arrested before. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be arrested. The first time for this was
Speaker 1: against the Iraq war. But the second time I wasn't
Speaker 1: meaning to, and it like kind of like stung a
Speaker 1: little more because I was like, man, this country, and
Speaker 1: you just realize that actually when you do stick your
Speaker 1: neck out, when you do actually do some some real
Speaker 1: organizing and work there is it will be swift. Uh,
Speaker 1: the amount that you know that, yeah, your First Amendment
Speaker 1: amendment rights do not matter at all. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: arrested and purely on ideological ground, purely And yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: It's what's sad is that that happened a year I
Speaker 1: mean BLM popped off a year ago, I mean many
Speaker 1: years ago, but for for in a in a mass
Speaker 1: movement way last year and this year we've got all
Speaker 1: these politicians now going like nobody wants to defund the police,
Speaker 1: Corey Booker making his sort of epic like ironic stand
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, but maybe we should. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: maybe the lesson from not just what the protests were about,
Speaker 1: what the response to the protests themselves is all the
Speaker 1: example you need, is all the evidence you need that
Speaker 1: we really do need to redirect funds away from cops. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then because it's all built on this framework of
Speaker 1: white supremacists, like you know, capitalism, it's the only people
Speaker 1: who have freedoms are those that are going to exert,
Speaker 1: like exercise their rights in service of that. So if
Speaker 1: you run over a protester because you are there to
Speaker 1: actually cape for white supremacist capitalism. Then you're all good.
Speaker 1: Then it's like, well, you know how to rough day?
Speaker 1: You know, you know, just you stormed the capitol. Here's
Speaker 1: a slate, there's a slap on the wrist, and only
Speaker 1: and again I brought up how there's you know, the
Speaker 1: judges were like, why are you all doing so soft
Speaker 1: on these people? Like they fucking straight up pulled up
Speaker 1: to the Okay, I don't know what is going on
Speaker 1: with you all, but as a judge, I think this
Speaker 1: is fucking weak. Yeah, I mean the selfie, Like I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about the the guy taking the picture
Speaker 1: with the guy in the in the capital on January
Speaker 1: six versus the person taking a video from their porch
Speaker 1: and during the like they said go inside and then
Speaker 1: shot at them with rubber bulls. So yeah, which reminded me.
Speaker 1: That was like, it's funny because the last time I
Speaker 1: saw that was in East Jerusalem. Like reminded me of
Speaker 1: Palestinians too, you know, like in their own homes being
Speaker 1: shot at, go back inside, being being shot at and
Speaker 1: rubber bullets like from from the police. I don't know,
Speaker 1: struggles are linked, No, absolutely, We even talked about how
Speaker 1: that the same way, the same tools are being deployed
Speaker 1: against the protesters that they refine in Palestine and then
Speaker 1: bring to the US because they're like, oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been field tested on Palestinians, So go ahead and police
Speaker 1: departments check these toys that we we know we've cooked
Speaker 1: up for you. Yeah, speaking of the police, COVID is
Speaker 1: now the leading cause of death among the police, which
Speaker 1: is it's more than any other cause combined right now,
Speaker 1: it's all more than yeah, more than yeah. And it's
Speaker 1: not because you know, it's not because thugs are putting
Speaker 1: COVID in the fentanyl then throwing it in the air
Speaker 1: and then then that's how they're getting it. It's because
Speaker 1: most of these assholes are too rigid and they're thinking
Speaker 1: and or support of Trump and this whole other culture
Speaker 1: that they won't get the shot. It's funny this Atlanta
Speaker 1: Police Chief Rodney Bryant said quote. And the profession as
Speaker 1: a whole, you generally find a lot of skepticism inside
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Police officers just overly cautious about things they
Speaker 1: don't understand. Yikes, they don't move quickly into place without
Speaker 1: a lot of detail and a lot of information, the
Speaker 1: apprehension is shared throughout the profession. I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: really nice way to put it. Oh my god. Police
Speaker 1: are apprehensive about this one thing, But when it comes
Speaker 1: to gutting down an unarmed black person, oh super easy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm apprehensive about extending humanity to that person. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm apprehensive. Yeah, yeah, Yeah. They're quick decision makers in
Speaker 1: every other instance, provided they've got a gun. Well, they're
Speaker 1: acting out of fear. It seems like the whole, Like
Speaker 1: every decision that I feel like I see police making,
Speaker 1: they're they're acting out of fear, whether it be a
Speaker 1: shooting an unarmed black man or not getting a vaccine
Speaker 1: an olly, you on your arm. A lot of police
Speaker 1: departments are under vaccinated. There are some places like Atlanta
Speaker 1: actually has a pretty decent vaccination right for their police department,
Speaker 1: But places like New York right, NYPD scent vaccinated New
Speaker 1: York residents seventy percent vaccinated, lap Dent vaccinated l A residence,
Speaker 1: seventy vaccinated, Chicago police, Chicago residents, you get it. These
Speaker 1: people are out there every day interact with public. Of
Speaker 1: course they're going to encounter COVID and you we see
Speaker 1: it in l A all the time. We're like, Yo,
Speaker 1: these cops don't wear fucking masks. They're all of them.
Speaker 1: Are like, oh, they're all on some weird fucking plandemic shit.
Speaker 1: But a lot of the observers have noted that it's
Speaker 1: this combination of again, this like petulance from them, the
Speaker 1: police just taking l after public l last year and
Speaker 1: they think we're all beasts, and because there's a proponance
Speaker 1: of evidence that suggests we're fucking monsters. That plus they
Speaker 1: see that the Boot liquor set is all on this
Speaker 1: anti vax anti mask ship, so they're just they're what
Speaker 1: they see is like, oh, well, we're just gonna align
Speaker 1: with our people too. There's like this alignment happening. Was like, well,
Speaker 1: the people that lick the boot and come out raw
Speaker 1: rob Blue Lives Matter ship, they're also vaccine hesitant or
Speaker 1: anti maskers, so they're just kind of you know, meshing
Speaker 1: with that same kind of culture. And yeah, it's you
Speaker 1: see the outcomes police always trying to find new creative
Speaker 1: ways to kill people, and it's that's what's so incredible
Speaker 1: about it. But I will say that one interesting thing
Speaker 1: is you wonder, like, all right, well, why don't you know,
Speaker 1: why isn't it required that police get vaccinated? And I
Speaker 1: think we sort of hit it right, which is that
Speaker 1: a lot of them come from a far right maga
Speaker 1: ilk And guess what. Police departments are having a hard
Speaker 1: time recruiting in the year, Like it's difficult, So if
Speaker 1: they mandated a vaccine, they might lose officers. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the quickest way to start up. Vaccinate the police,
Speaker 1: vaccinate the police, vaccinate the police. And then like I'm
Speaker 1: off this ship. Maybe this one with empathy who has
Speaker 1: an idea that they have some duty to other people
Speaker 1: to get VID That's not me because I'm a cop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's yeah, it's it's it's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: a frightening moment. And I'm sure look at most of
Speaker 1: your police departments. You'll you'll see that many are unmasked
Speaker 1: and like have a very flippant attitude towards everything as well.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about broke Bobby. And we're back, and
Speaker 1: let's talk the ballat of broke Bobby where Bobby was
Speaker 1: popping off the last week. I was like, why is
Speaker 1: broke trending. Why is Bobby trending? Why is broke Bobby trending?
Speaker 1: And it's because it's TikTok video blew up because this
Speaker 1: young baller landlord named Tom Cruise, like c r u
Speaker 1: z okay, that's your name, went viral for being you know,
Speaker 1: just you know, just giving us a really clear look
Speaker 1: into the mindset of someone that's a fucking landlord. And
Speaker 1: it's just like all folks like sick gass passive income
Speaker 1: bro because that's like sort of the tone of these posts.
Speaker 1: But he in the clip, he goes over his like
Speaker 1: Forbes friends list, and it's a spreadsheet that has all
Speaker 1: kinds of ship about his friend group, like where they're
Speaker 1: ranked by their income, the days they have off and
Speaker 1: things like that. And I'm gonna play your clips. You
Speaker 1: can hear how this guy is sort of like his
Speaker 1: mindset because he's he's presenting this spreadsheet is like it's
Speaker 1: actually a really good way to get everything organized, like
Speaker 1: if you want to go on a big vacation and
Speaker 1: let's just check out you guys. Yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just like you're just cutting out a lot of
Speaker 1: like clutter and like redundant steps. So a few years ago,
Speaker 1: me and my friends started making a spreadsheet breaking down
Speaker 1: our incomes and availability for travel, and it looks like this.
Speaker 1: This is incredibly helpful. UM, give your friends broken down
Speaker 1: here from Sean, my top rarning friend who makes over
Speaker 1: five million dollars, to who we call broke Boby, who
Speaker 1: makes how much available PTO we have or paid time
Speaker 1: off bonuses? Um, how much were willing to spent on
Speaker 1: a three day trip, seven day trip. We have some
Speaker 1: people that are very responsible with her through seven day trips,
Speaker 1: some people that already tapped out for the year. Marital
Speaker 1: status helps if we know there's going to be anyone
Speaker 1: else coming, our willingness to travel to a third world destination,
Speaker 1: if they're willing to split a private flight, and if
Speaker 1: they're degenerate gamblers or not, okay, and there Dick sizes
Speaker 1: micro micro micro micro micro average, the yeah, this whole
Speaker 1: thing right, The top earner in this sheet is making
Speaker 1: five million dollars. And then like it's just the whole thing.
Speaker 1: They're saying, just to give you an idea of what
Speaker 1: this friend group is talking about. They say willingness and
Speaker 1: what they're willing to spend on a three day trip.
Speaker 1: The most is eighty thousand. Broke Bobby is willing to
Speaker 1: pay ten grand for a three day trip. A seven
Speaker 1: day trip. One guys like, yeah, I'll do like one
Speaker 1: seventy five k. If we're going to be gone for
Speaker 1: fucking seven days. Broke Bobby goes a little bit less
Speaker 1: for seven days. It's just like, how much does broke
Speaker 1: Bobby make? This is what we have to talk about.
Speaker 1: Broke Bobby makes? Okay? So five million is like as
Speaker 1: he said to be in a video his top earner friend,
Speaker 1: five million broke Bobby's ass. Broke fucking Bobby's making a
Speaker 1: hundred twenty five thousand a year plus bonuses six figures?
Speaker 1: What the funk are we talking about? That puts you
Speaker 1: in If you make a five k, you that person
Speaker 1: in the top ten percent of earners. So this is
Speaker 1: not You're not broke, okay, Especially when the median incomes
Speaker 1: under forty dollars, You're tripling what the average person is
Speaker 1: making in this country. And to me, I'm like, look,
Speaker 1: the outrage was very clear, like with this whole you know,
Speaker 1: like especially the willingness to go to a third world country.
Speaker 1: Trust me, those plays are way more fun to go
Speaker 1: to than these developed places. I'll give you that. They
Speaker 1: don't want you anyway. Yeah, plus and plus they're gonna
Speaker 1: be staring at your ass because you're wearing to You're
Speaker 1: You're gonna look like a fucking mark dressed all fancy
Speaker 1: in these places, and it will get your ask anyway.
Speaker 1: The whole thing with this, this whole thing is like
Speaker 1: it more so gives you a glimpse into the mindset
Speaker 1: of people that are essentially the decision makers in many workplaces,
Speaker 1: and it shows you a complete disconnect from what broke
Speaker 1: is and organizing friends and like, and they also organize
Speaker 1: their friends in order of their assets. And you're like,
Speaker 1: oh right, okay, this this makes sense. Your worldview is
Speaker 1: sort of built rendly. You know, how much do you make? Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, all right, your schlub. Sorry, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what that means, Like, I don't know anyone
Speaker 1: who makes less than that. Just to give you an
Speaker 1: idea of the insulation of my friend group, and I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's it's no surprise you see rents going
Speaker 1: up as well, because landlords are looking to evict people
Speaker 1: trying to make some more money, recoup some losses from
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and then you also have like an influx
Speaker 1: of wealthier people from cities trying to find more affordable housing,
Speaker 1: so they're putting the squeeze on tenants and other you know,
Speaker 1: formally affordable areas. And you're like, right, this is this
Speaker 1: is that that tend to tend to one percenter vibe
Speaker 1: people have, and it's like so tone deaf, and they're
Speaker 1: the most likely to complain about taxes, spend money so
Speaker 1: they don't have to pay taxes. It was also interesting
Speaker 1: that the top earners were also the ones who had
Speaker 1: unlimited time off. Yeah, because so you just don't need
Speaker 1: to work once you get to a certain level of wealth.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, yeah, I yeah. I mean a couple
Speaker 1: of things. One is I've just got turned onto, meaning
Speaker 1: I was told about the amount of life hack real
Speaker 1: estate douches that are on the internet. Generally one of
Speaker 1: them is trying to become the new governor of California.
Speaker 1: Another one is like this guy, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of real estate life hacks people and they're just like, okay,
Speaker 1: so all you gotta do is like find like a
Speaker 1: really poor Latino family who can't really pay their rent,
Speaker 1: and like you see the outside of their houses like
Speaker 1: chip and paint. Then you go right on them to
Speaker 1: like build coded specters, and then you sell their place
Speaker 1: to a realtor and then you flip that and then
Speaker 1: you're making five thousand dollars and you're just like, and
Speaker 1: that's amazing, and that's day. This is true. And so
Speaker 1: even though many of us and like, you know, the
Speaker 1: outrage is clear, I think more people look at someone
Speaker 1: like this guy and are like, hell, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I want to do. That's where I want to do
Speaker 1: baller ship And and then the other thing I was going, Okay,
Speaker 1: obviously nobody needs a whole god to have spreadsheet about
Speaker 1: how much you make any year to find out how
Speaker 1: much you're willing to spend on a vacation. You could
Speaker 1: just have one column, how much do you want to
Speaker 1: spend on a vacation? Fine? But the other thing is, oh,
Speaker 1: this is so I've been on this trip ever since
Speaker 1: the Pro publica article came out that showed just how
Speaker 1: much billionaires are paying and how much like very wealthy
Speaker 1: but not billionaire people are paying. And it's insane to
Speaker 1: me that people who make like five thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: year who are paying their fair share of taxes feel
Speaker 1: so much more allied with Bezos and Zuckerberg and Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and like fucking rich ass sewn with five million
Speaker 1: dollars then they do with supposedly broke Bobby because they're
Speaker 1: actually paying their taxes and instead of being like, you know,
Speaker 1: we need to create a fair tax structure, so the
Speaker 1: billionaires are actually you know, contributing to the society that
Speaker 1: we all live in. There like, no fucking funck broke Bobby,
Speaker 1: We're just gonna go I'm about to be elon. No,
Speaker 1: you're not not. Even Sean's gonna be elon next year
Speaker 1: or in five years or in his whole goddamn lifetime.
Speaker 1: So like that's the other thing that like, people with
Speaker 1: a very comfortable amount of wealth do not understand where
Speaker 1: they are actually in relation that they're more they have
Speaker 1: more in common with their Uber Eats delivery person than
Speaker 1: they do with these billionaires, right the well, you know,
Speaker 1: at least they're willing to split a p jet, you know,
Speaker 1: when they go to cos L dude is sucking sick
Speaker 1: and yeah, and this is the same it's the same
Speaker 1: class of people that become politicians too. You know, it's
Speaker 1: the same hyper wealthy or you know, I guess top
Speaker 1: ten you know, top five percent type people. Because you
Speaker 1: think about the number of millionaires that are in Congress
Speaker 1: who equally are looking at they think one is a
Speaker 1: broke gass or just being like I don't know what something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what a single parent on food stamps
Speaker 1: needs because I don't want to do you know, what
Speaker 1: anything's worth? What I dropped on a trip to a
Speaker 1: third world country, bro, exactly? I mean like that one
Speaker 1: dude sounds like, Bro, Bobby, I just spent your fucking
Speaker 1: salary on coke when we went down to fucking Bogo
Speaker 1: top bro. Like ship was lit. The gambling is also
Speaker 1: interesting because it's like, rather than pay taxes, they pay
Speaker 1: money to feel alive, and like these brief bursts of
Speaker 1: like of gambling and shiploads of money. Um, but like
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that can like make them feel
Speaker 1: alive anymore. Like the fact that that would be one
Speaker 1: of the things on there is wild. It is also
Speaker 1: just like not willing to go to a third world country,
Speaker 1: like I pay to be insulated from poverty. I don't
Speaker 1: want to look at it. I don't want it to
Speaker 1: touch me. That's why I go to wackas resorts. If
Speaker 1: I even go to somewhere like Columbia or the Caribbean
Speaker 1: or anywhere. Um, dude, we got this like former plantation.
Speaker 1: Like that's like this sick ass mansion, dude, and it's
Speaker 1: like fuck is sick. It's like a perimeter gate and ship.
Speaker 1: So like, no, we's gonna work with us. There's arm
Speaker 1: guards you, yeah, dude, And like the cook there makes
Speaker 1: you like bomb mass. Things are called like papussas or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude. It's like would you only eat
Speaker 1: it lunch? When I went to El Salvador, I was
Speaker 1: like can I have a papusa for dinner? And they
Speaker 1: were like no, what's wrong with you? And I was
Speaker 1: like it's never mind, never mind. I mean I know
Speaker 1: how to travel. Hell yeah, that was like pancakes at
Speaker 1: a steakhouse. You're like, huh, but why all right? Did
Speaker 1: you guys see the computer or the computer? Did you
Speaker 1: guys see the computer? Did you see the robot that
Speaker 1: Elon Musk introduced? The asshole in the costume? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he dressed somebody up in a costume, but he also
Speaker 1: announced that he is planning on designing a robot that
Speaker 1: will basically take over manual labor help you with groceries.
Speaker 1: But it was really weird because he emphasized like how
Speaker 1: easy it would be to beat up, Like that was
Speaker 1: his pitch. He was he in his pitch, he said,
Speaker 1: it is a mechanical and physical level that you can
Speaker 1: run away from and likely over power for it. So
Speaker 1: he's like so he's like, immediately, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's kind of genius, Like he just realizes the thing
Speaker 1: people are afraid of is that they won't be able
Speaker 1: to beat up a robot or like it's like when
Speaker 1: you're walking in on it fucking your wife, which is
Speaker 1: part of it obviously, Like yeah, that's the fantasy, fucking
Speaker 1: your wife. Then you pull him off and then you
Speaker 1: beat him up and then you guys start having sex.
Speaker 1: Have I built this up too much? It's weird, right,
Speaker 1: He's just such a fucking lame bro. All he does
Speaker 1: is pump fake with these ideas, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: remember what the words the fucking cybertrucke man, this motherfucker
Speaker 1: out here still haven't seen the ship. And remember he
Speaker 1: was like one yes, and he's like, check out this
Speaker 1: window bulletproof. The ship fucking broke, Like he's he has
Speaker 1: this is like sort of in line with like a
Speaker 1: lot of things he likes to say, like some ship,
Speaker 1: like what happened to the fucking the what's that fucking
Speaker 1: like hyper loop? That tunnel and ship that everything was
Speaker 1: supposed to move through that he said I was gonna
Speaker 1: get dunk quick as so he has a history of
Speaker 1: this kind of nonsen. I'm like, yeah, I'll believe when
Speaker 1: I see it. Broa alright, cool cool. I feel like
Speaker 1: his imagination is stalled out in the eighties because based
Speaker 1: on the pickup truck that was like out of RoboCop,
Speaker 1: and then this is clearly based on like his thinking
Speaker 1: on robots. Stopped at terminator and he's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't want a terminator. I want to I want one
Speaker 1: that I can beat up right, Yeah, I do want
Speaker 1: the robot from the Jetsons. What's her name, Rosie? Sorry,
Speaker 1: Rosie would be cool. Like just a robot. There's nothing
Speaker 1: cuter than a robot in the aprin you know. And
Speaker 1: I say that with like it's not gendered, it's not anything.
Speaker 1: It's just cute. And I would like that, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you can get your XB five hundred. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: housekeeper bought um from Milon Musk's. They've got to be
Speaker 1: those like uh like room bas but like that are
Speaker 1: like kind of cute. See and I want like a
Speaker 1: roomba that looks like a Pikachu in a in a
Speaker 1: little an. Yeah is that much as No, not at all,
Speaker 1: maybe for Elon Musk the guy, because you know the
Speaker 1: other thing is a lot of these stunts just feels
Speaker 1: like it's it's just to get it's just to keep
Speaker 1: the name out there. Like the Flamethrower ship too, it
Speaker 1: was just like something that again was oh ship at
Speaker 1: the Flamethrower The fun was it? Four? Yeah? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like it's just it's sort of his
Speaker 1: kind of how he navigates, like the Internet world is
Speaker 1: just to like try and become a fucking meme sometimes.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I feel like he has a fall into place.
Speaker 1: All his decisions are made by a focused group of
Speaker 1: like five Reddit moderators or something, just like how he's
Speaker 1: created his career. I mean, but I guess the overpowering
Speaker 1: thing maybe is something because most of our reactions, like
Speaker 1: we see those Boston Dynamics robots. Yeah, fuck that, this
Speaker 1: motherfucker doing parkour and doing a flip off of a
Speaker 1: fucking like three stare. No. When you see them, right,
Speaker 1: don't they look way too light on their feet? Like
Speaker 1: maybe that's just me being an idiot, but I feel
Speaker 1: like you could just like pull a rug out from
Speaker 1: underneath and be like you know, or like with a
Speaker 1: banana peel and like like it just maybe they go
Speaker 1: where they try to kick it over, and it like
Speaker 1: can't be kicked over. It's just like finds its balance stabilized. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I figured, look, there's there's be
Speaker 1: easy ways, Like you just get a bunch of fucking
Speaker 1: rare earth magnets and ship and just like dump them
Speaker 1: on and like got your ass, let's go. Yeah, time
Speaker 1: to steal all the meat from target. Yeah. There, we
Speaker 1: will see RoboCup in our lifetimes. Right. We just got
Speaker 1: done doing a whole segment on you know, BLM cops
Speaker 1: Cops getting COVID. You know it doesn't over for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure, you because you know that we've already like
Speaker 1: Ring has introduced the fucking indoor drone surveillance drone for house. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker will pop up out of its base station
Speaker 1: and like fly around your house and just kind of check, yeah,
Speaker 1: we told you to get your ship weeks ago, the
Speaker 1: funk are you doing here? And and I think the
Speaker 1: next iteration will be like perimeter security drones for like
Speaker 1: large properties, and then we'll begin to weaponize them more
Speaker 1: so than we do for military purposes. Like they'll be
Speaker 1: like the one, it just has a light taser on it, right,
Speaker 1: And then there we go, We're full blown into these
Speaker 1: other motherfucker's like and this one has a fucking fifty
Speaker 1: cow attached to the fucking bottom of it. I do
Speaker 1: also kind of want in addition to the Pikachu room,
Speaker 1: but I want like to like life size mccloss keys
Speaker 1: for my yard, you know, just to take a dump on. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly take a dump on or I mean they'd have
Speaker 1: to be ridiculous looking to know that it was a joke.
Speaker 1: But you know, like you know, like garden eddies that
Speaker 1: they used to sell on Skymall all right, but like that,
Speaker 1: but the mccloss keys with their guns, you know, like
Speaker 1: right for Halloween ms keys. Sorry, I thought it was
Speaker 1: a household thing. Gee, yeah, sorry, Hamburgler and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think Salmon. Yeah, it's it's that there's almost no
Speaker 1: way that Bezos isn't like creating a robot army, an
Speaker 1: armed robot army behind the scenes, like Jack, okay exactly,
Speaker 1: Like this almost feels like a misdirect Like he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's It's weird how much he emphasized that you can
Speaker 1: overpower it. Like, I mean, that wasn't really what we
Speaker 1: were I'm not saying that sometimes it hasn't choked out
Speaker 1: a few employees, but like should that happen? Right, He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not creating an army of robots that can overpower
Speaker 1: you and catch you easily with amazing foot speed. So
Speaker 1: I don't even think that just creating easy to over
Speaker 1: there our robots and if they ever started fucking around
Speaker 1: and acting wild, all you have to do is to
Speaker 1: get inside of a Faraday cage and set off an
Speaker 1: e MP close proximity and they would easily be disabled. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, guys, All right, Love, I

Speaker 1: last name Ronson? Is I never that? So that means
Speaker 1: Ron's son, which I never pictured people like back in
Speaker 1: the era of like when we were still creating last
Speaker 1: names being named Ron. Doesn't Ron seemed like a weird
Speaker 1: name for like somebody in like the Middle Ages to have. Alright, anyways,
Speaker 1: just the thought, I mean, I liked it. It's just
Speaker 1: from that like one history lesson or that we have
Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, your your name is Smettal because
Speaker 1: you were Blacksmith's or whatever or whatever goldsmith. But it's
Speaker 1: funny because I'm like, I don't know if it's that
Speaker 1: one to one. It was like if hiss son that
Speaker 1: means the son and Ron When I look right now,
Speaker 1: it says it's a Norman origin from the old French
Speaker 1: word home soon all right, Yeah, I don't get to
Speaker 1: imagine somebody in deep history being named ron I, just
Speaker 1: like the idea, like the battle height of the Battle
Speaker 1: of Hastings with the Vikings in like England, and they're like,
Speaker 1: here comes wrong, the terrible, the terrible. Oh, you were
