Speaker 1: talented Shannon Coffee Cast, Papa Papa Podcast, podcast, Pop podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ye doing what song it is and you're gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really wanted to get Hanson in there real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: best best, No, not at all. I'm from Puerto Rico, yeah,
Speaker 1: I say, I'm like, yeah, I remember really liking Hanson
Speaker 1: and Puerto Rico and being like, they won't come here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody will come here, and that's and then you're like,
Speaker 1: then I have to go to them. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: one of them works in production or something. Friend of
Speaker 1: mine works in commercials, like I work with the youngest
Speaker 1: handsome brother who wasn't even on in the band. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well there's like fourteen of them. Okay, Yeah, they come
Speaker 1: from a really big family, so I'm sure not awkward,
Speaker 1: do you think for them when they up, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: to have a big, gass family and then like three
Speaker 1: of them are doing I mean I say this as
Speaker 1: like an only child to have no concept of siblings
Speaker 1: at all, because I'm like, man, if there was one
Speaker 1: other motherfucker getting the attention to the parents, I would
Speaker 1: flip out. Well, I think it's less awkward for the
Speaker 1: Hansens because it was like the three older siblings and
Speaker 1: then the rest of them were a lot like younger
Speaker 1: and not music. I think it's not as awkward as
Speaker 1: it is for the Jonas brothers, where it's four of
Speaker 1: them and three of them are in the van and
Speaker 1: there's just that one guy who's like, yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: doing great though. Yeah, okay. I think it's less awkward
Speaker 1: because their older brother is Chris Hansen from To Catch
Speaker 1: a Predator, right, that was his passion, and the other
Speaker 1: siblings are like, we kind of don't care to take
Speaker 1: a sheet, right there? Are you guitar freak? Yes? Shannon
Speaker 1: what's what's new with you? Where are you in this
Speaker 1: great country? Oh? I'm in l A and A in
Speaker 1: my studio apartment with my two cats. Hell. Yeah, Sinna
Speaker 1: which is short for cinnamon girl. I didn't name her,
Speaker 1: but that was what her previous on her name, and
Speaker 1: we will keep the name because she's nineteen, like to
Speaker 1: change that. And then yeah, and then I have Zook,
Speaker 1: who was a pandemic kit and I got and I
Speaker 1: got him because the psychic told me, a cats psychic
Speaker 1: told me that Sinna wanted a kit and psychic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So Sinna was like yelling throughout like every night, She's
Speaker 1: just been like. I was like, what's happening? And I
Speaker 1: took her to the vet and they're like, nothing's up.
Speaker 1: She's fine. Must be like some kind of like emotional
Speaker 1: thing she's trying to express to you. So after a
Speaker 1: long time, I'm trying to figure it out. I linked
Speaker 1: up with a cats psychic and she was like she
Speaker 1: was in tune with like some of Sinna's like physical
Speaker 1: like arthritis and what legs she had painted. So I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is legit. And then like broadly
Speaker 1: like I think you're nineteen year old cap might have
Speaker 1: arthritis rather than like, how's the arthrit is in her
Speaker 1: rear hindle and the right leg? She guessed it and
Speaker 1: she gets a couple other things. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe her. I know right, You're right, I'm
Speaker 1: a suck. You got hind in four whatever. But she
Speaker 1: did say like, oh, Sina really wants a kitten in
Speaker 1: her life, specifically a kitten, and I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 1: normally don't adopt kittens. I like older cats just because
Speaker 1: Kim's gets you know, they get picked up everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I brought home this cool last dude. His name
Speaker 1: is Zuk, which is short for Zukarrello. He's named after
Speaker 1: Zukarillo from the New York Rangers, who isn't on the
Speaker 1: Rangers on the anymore. But sin It doesn't like Zuk
Speaker 1: that much. Are you a big hockey fanner? Is that
Speaker 1: just that's what Zuk's name was already? Right? No? I
Speaker 1: named Zuk Zuk because I love Zukarillo. My family is
Speaker 1: obsessed with hockey and they love the Rangers, and I'm
Speaker 1: not into hockey. But as as a member of this
Speaker 1: four person family, I you know, I gotta like be
Speaker 1: present to the likes and the hobbies. So I just
Speaker 1: choose the things that I liked within hockey, which is
Speaker 1: bodies and people with nice hair. So I'm like the
Speaker 1: other guy's hot. I like that guy that's my definitely
Speaker 1: has the best hair. I was a big fan of
Speaker 1: Brian Leach on the New York Rangers. It was a
Speaker 1: defenseman I played. I played hockey for like sixteen years,
Speaker 1: and I had like in hockey, like you can buy
Speaker 1: like pro models of like a blade that you can
Speaker 1: affix to like a shaft, like a luminium raphite shaft,
Speaker 1: because everybody likes a different curve on the stick. And
Speaker 1: I would always rock the Brian Leach signature. He'll curve
Speaker 1: blade for my hockey stick. So shout out the Rangers,
Speaker 1: wom that's cool. I would definitely go full Casey Jones
Speaker 1: if I had one of those blades and just start
Speaker 1: fighting crime on the streets. Well, what's stopping you aside
Speaker 1: from here that person? Now? Yeah? Yeah, I think actually,
Speaker 1: if they aren't they rebooting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles again,
Speaker 1: I think I should be cast as Casey Jounts. I've,
Speaker 1: you know, think that would be fucking awesome, and I
Speaker 1: have to have a good hockey jersey. I just need
Speaker 1: to stick right, Okay. So that is usually what they
Speaker 1: take into account when they're like how much do you have? Actually?
Speaker 1: Do you think that that's a joke? But it's so true.
Speaker 1: As an actor, people are always asking you to just
Speaker 1: bring your own wardrobe and I want to say, um
Speaker 1: fuck that. Please stop making me lug my own clothes
Speaker 1: places like no, are you gonna pay me that fee
Speaker 1: for a wardrobe person? No for bringing no stars? Should
Speaker 1: be before we move along? What was the cat psychic? Correct?
Speaker 1: How have Zook and Senna gotten along? Um? The cat's
Speaker 1: psychic was wrong? Does not like Zook? Sorry, He's like,
Speaker 1: don't tell me this. Yes, I can send you a
Speaker 1: million videos of Zook is obsessed with Senna and he
Speaker 1: like always loves to put his on her belly and
Speaker 1: like try to touch her. She's just like but yeah,
Speaker 1: she she lost her to upper things recently and she
Speaker 1: tries to bite him and it's just a very sad
Speaker 1: and he's like, cool, thanks for violence. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: very fun though to watch them interact. That's great, all right, Shannon,
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. Just a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're going to do another school update from
Speaker 1: around the country, how the return to school is working
Speaker 1: out in the South where they have already returned to school.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about businesses that aren't making it
Speaker 1: easy to get vaccinated, which is cool. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the xenophobes of America uniting at their favorite place to unite,
Speaker 1: Fox News. We'll talk about Google wanting to cut pay
Speaker 1: for people who are working from home, and Lady Gaga
Speaker 1: not helping the dog walker who was shot protecting her
Speaker 1: dogs or whether she should. Well, we'll discuss it'll be
Speaker 1: a debate all that plenty more. But first ship and
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? Oh well, man, I'm gonna just be
Speaker 1: like a little or in freak here, but yeah, the
Speaker 1: last thing I googled was last night how to get
Speaker 1: cat Pie out of a shoe? Because um yes, Sinnah
Speaker 1: did one of her like cool screams and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's up? And then I turned around and she was
Speaker 1: just peeing into my rebox and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's a choice. Okay, what do you uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean is there a technique like yeah, because in
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, will you take the insult out
Speaker 1: and then you spray it the funk down with like
Speaker 1: some kind of cleaner. Like my first idea was, oh,
Speaker 1: you burn them. Um, it's like not the answer. Apparently.
Speaker 1: I was like, you burn them and in the dark
Speaker 1: lord like just replaces them when you go to bed
Speaker 1: help them. Yeah, but that's not what they suggested. They
Speaker 1: just suggested putting baking soda, filling with baking soda and
Speaker 1: then letting it absorb it and then you dust it
Speaker 1: out and then you burn them and give them to
Speaker 1: the right right right. Oh so so you use that
Speaker 1: to draw the moisture out with the baking soda. Okay.
Speaker 1: And then because look I have I have cats that
Speaker 1: like to do protest peen a lot, so I've gotten
Speaker 1: very I go through bottles of like urine Gone. It's
Speaker 1: like this odor spray s works like somebody who's tried
Speaker 1: it all And I don't mean we can always have
Speaker 1: another sponsoring. Yeah, anyway, shout out to urine Gone works
Speaker 1: on humans too. God. Yeah, I actually sprayed that on
Speaker 1: my genitals and my urethra just dried up. It's gone.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long I have to live now,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you're saying your doctor thinks you becomes
Speaker 1: eptic already. So I mean, I really want to play
Speaker 1: case and Jones Casey Joes, So I hope I live
Speaker 1: long enough to get calf. Yeah, they're like, hey, what quick,
Speaker 1: here's a rewrite pitch. What if Casey Jones reeked of
Speaker 1: P because one of his powers was that he didn't
Speaker 1: have to pee because he spread urine gone on down there,
Speaker 1: and then it made him not be anymore. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what wardrobe? Yeah, it's fine, here's my box of wardrobe.
Speaker 1: If you didn't have you you definitely sweat your urine though, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you die. But if we were,
Speaker 1: like I guess living in a if it was a
Speaker 1: video game version of the human body, I guess if
Speaker 1: you destroyed the urethra, then the P would come out
Speaker 1: your sweat glance. I don't know. Look, we're not doctors,
Speaker 1: but if you are, please give us a really straightforward
Speaker 1: medical answer. What happens aside from obviously you would be
Speaker 1: poisoning yourself because you have no way to excrete your waist.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about pep tears. Now. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: like if every time you cried like a year and
Speaker 1: just came down. Yeah, another reason for not to cry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Too overrated? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say being friends with your neighbors, you know, because
Speaker 1: people are always like be friends of your neighbor's creative community.
Speaker 1: You have people there for you. It's like you have
Speaker 1: people knocking on my door all day asking me your favors.
Speaker 1: It's like, I feel like I went I was I
Speaker 1: went hard. I'm like a big like say hi to
Speaker 1: people in the in the hallway, it's like make a
Speaker 1: chatty conversation and uh, you know what now, like legit,
Speaker 1: like we've got we've swapped keys. There's people being like literally,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. People are like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I forgot to flush the turret. I left and I
Speaker 1: left for work. Could you go and like get in
Speaker 1: there and flush it for me? And I'd be like,
Speaker 1: no boundaries. Al Right. So you're so you started off
Speaker 1: you're a very positive person and you like engaging with people,
Speaker 1: but it slowly started turning into like this is a
Speaker 1: little bit. Now we're kind of you're kind of having
Speaker 1: me do ship for you. This isn't just kind of
Speaker 1: like friendly reciprocity, Like what's the what's some ship that
Speaker 1: you've been you know, what's the situation you've been forced
Speaker 1: into due to your kindness? All Right? I have a
Speaker 1: neighbor who's probably listening, just constantly, constantly goes out on
Speaker 1: trips and makes me take care of their cats. Wow.
Speaker 1: Fuck No. One time I was like, oh I can't
Speaker 1: I'm sick. This was true. I was like, I'm sick.
Speaker 1: I actually I haven't even been able to get up
Speaker 1: and like to feed myself. And they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we already left, so like please feed them. And I
Speaker 1: was like whoa, whoa yo yo, And I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 1: That's definitely like the boundaries I was. They were like
Speaker 1: knocking and I'm in this acting class that's on zoom
Speaker 1: and you do like three to four hours every single day.
Speaker 1: And I was like, hey, I'm like I'm in rehearsal.
Speaker 1: And they pushed the door open and like looked around
Speaker 1: to like prove that I was lying. And I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: it's not a computer. That's like a relationship I've only
Speaker 1: seen in sitcoms, like the neighbor who is that pushy
Speaker 1: that just strolls into and you're like, oh, here they come.
Speaker 1: I don't watch sitcoms. I'm not into them at all.
Speaker 1: And yet my life really yeah, you know me, my
Speaker 1: life really does take a sitcom energy, right right right?
Speaker 1: You don't need Yeah, I'm like, I get so I
Speaker 1: get panicked when I have to ask people to help
Speaker 1: me with ship because I'm like, oh my god, like
Speaker 1: I already asked them to remember they watched my cats
Speaker 1: three years ago. I can't go back to them, even
Speaker 1: though I brought back like bottles of wine within things
Speaker 1: to be like thank you for keeping my animals alive.
Speaker 1: But I always like I'll fight with my partner. I'll
Speaker 1: be like, you gotta ask somebody this time. We've been
Speaker 1: doing my homies. Yeah, you got to do it this
Speaker 1: time because I can't. And that's me. I fry out
Speaker 1: my family burst like I super exaggerated, because it is
Speaker 1: also like super high maintenance. So like I like did
Speaker 1: an apartment swapped my dad once when I took a
Speaker 1: job because I was like, you need to take care
Speaker 1: of her. She's your granddaughter. And so I usually just
Speaker 1: like literally fly out my family to take care of
Speaker 1: my cats. I hate to hear about those pesky neighbors,
Speaker 1: but yeah, otherwise, it's good to know. Yeah, it's good
Speaker 1: to know who you live around, too, and then sometimes
Speaker 1: you'll discover, oh, maybe they don't want to live in here,
Speaker 1: but that's fine. Yeah, I know a lot of the
Speaker 1: hot guys, that's yeah. Yeah, I feel like I really
Speaker 1: got like especially in quarantine. Like, I live in a
Speaker 1: forty two unit building right right, it's oh my god. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We have a neighbor across the street from us who
Speaker 1: is wild and usually drunk and loves to talk talk
Speaker 1: to us no matter what, to the point that I
Speaker 1: have like coping mechanisms for getting to the car without
Speaker 1: like when he's out on his front porch, which is
Speaker 1: almost always Yo, is his name Richard? No? Oh, because
Speaker 1: I lived across the street from you were describing this
Speaker 1: neighbor I had years ago who was always out on
Speaker 1: this porch and if you came home when he was drinking,
Speaker 1: you had to go have a drink with him. Dude,
Speaker 1: come on, what are you doing? Yeah go yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got Vanilla Stoley man. Yeah, yeah, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh funk. And then I remember her majesty. She was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I can't go out there right now. He's gonna ask me,
Speaker 1: and I remember I would have to do like I
Speaker 1: would have to periodically entertain the invite so I could
Speaker 1: say no the next fifteen times. All right, I'll come
Speaker 1: over this time, but you know I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: the next three months. I'm gonna say fuck that, though,
Speaker 1: because I got ship to do right, and I do
Speaker 1: the thing where I pretend that like everything is really
Speaker 1: bad and I'm going through the worst time of my life,
Speaker 1: and then they remember it and I'm like, oh funk.
Speaker 1: I have to remember that lie I told on the
Speaker 1: fly because I'm like, oh, things are really bad for me.
Speaker 1: I can't have this conversation like yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: know it just it's it's very bad. How's your father's ankles?
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have ankles? So why talk about exactly?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be real nasty and say ice and milk, but like
Speaker 1: your choice of milk. I really love oat milk, and
Speaker 1: I love putting ice in oat milk. It's so refreshing.
Speaker 1: I drink like two glasses of milk every night. I
Speaker 1: feel like, wow, not bad. I know that i've you know,
Speaker 1: because at school, I remember I would always drink non
Speaker 1: fat milk because it was the closest thing to water,
Speaker 1: like a can. At school, you didn't have an option.
Speaker 1: It's like, here's your fucking box iceberg, lettuce with ham
Speaker 1: and heat. Didn't drink this milk, and I was like,
Speaker 1: fuck man, I wish I could get a couple of
Speaker 1: ice water and the milk would be the only thing
Speaker 1: ship that was cold. So I would always drink to
Speaker 1: fucking things and non fat milk. But that gave me
Speaker 1: a taste for cold milk. So I would drink like
Speaker 1: just straight up regular milk with ice in it, because
Speaker 1: I would drink it fast enough that it wasn't deluded.
Speaker 1: But I felt like ice fucking cold milk so good,
Speaker 1: like melted ice cream without sugar. Yeah, it doesn't really
Speaker 1: dilute that quick like it's it's so delicious and refreshing
Speaker 1: and just makes me feel wholesome and good and loved.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a thing like with oatally where people are like,
Speaker 1: it's actually not that healthy, even though it's not milk,
Speaker 1: but it's just like it's just like oat beverage. There's
Speaker 1: rape seed oil in it, which is a scary name
Speaker 1: and also just really bad for your body. M But
Speaker 1: I don't know we'd be done anyway. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's not terrible for you, but it's definitely not
Speaker 1: like the health the super food that maybe people think
Speaker 1: it is. Either way, the chocolate only of you guys.
Speaker 1: Do you guys ever funk with warm milk? Have you
Speaker 1: ever Jack stopped warm milk? That's a that's a thing.
Speaker 1: I remember it was a thing like in the I.
Speaker 1: I first saw it on like a rerun of a
Speaker 1: like Black and White era sitcom and they like they
Speaker 1: just chronically had warm milk before going to bed. Oh
Speaker 1: so like Happy Gilmore style, which is like, could I
Speaker 1: trouble for you a glass of warm milk, warm glass
Speaker 1: and shut the exactly Oh right. Yeah. But we I
Speaker 1: also just our coffee maker like broke, so we got
Speaker 1: a new one that has the little like milk foaming
Speaker 1: nozzle on it. But now, yeah, now you have a
Speaker 1: lot of leftover warm milk. So I've been sipping on
Speaker 1: that and it is kind of relaxing. I gotta Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not bad crossing my milk. I just feel like
Speaker 1: the milk becomes bubbles and then you're just like sucking
Speaker 1: on air and I suck on enough air. Okay, when
Speaker 1: I want milk, I want milk. Yeah, sucking. It's like
Speaker 1: I've had enough of that bit. So I do that constantly,
Speaker 1: with or without my own consent. Stop breathing, which is cool.
Speaker 1: It's also illegal for me to make myself stop breathing.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. No breathing is so annoying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I just want to see my lungs, you know.
Speaker 1: I wish you we could just like pull out your
Speaker 1: lungs and just be like what is in here? Like
Speaker 1: quick check? Yeah, because I've like accidentally like like inhaled
Speaker 1: so many like things. I just want to see if
Speaker 1: it's got larged or if it's been you know, absorbed
Speaker 1: by what do you mean, like a micromachine toy or
Speaker 1: something anything. Yeah. I would love to just put a
Speaker 1: little camera in there on my own time. I don't
Speaker 1: want to go to the doctor and pay for it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to get an m R. I stand.
Speaker 1: I'm done with those people. I just want to do
Speaker 1: my own doctoring. Why can't I have a friend with
Speaker 1: a GoPro. There's always great stories that people getting ship
Speaker 1: lodged in there, like literally inhaling a like Frosty Spoon,
Speaker 1: or we did an article back get correct about like
Speaker 1: weirdest things removed from people's body and there was a plant,
Speaker 1: like a seed someone had inhaled a seed and there's
Speaker 1: a plant growing in someone's lung that they had to
Speaker 1: get removed. Oh my god, which is pretty cool. Damn
Speaker 1: I would have kept it. Also, like, yo, so this
Speaker 1: thing grew it out light? Yeah, yeah, we need that plant.
Speaker 1: What plan is that one? So we can all get it?
Speaker 1: So it's a great question. That's the new airplane. Dude,
Speaker 1: get a lung plant? Well, I mean they said that
Speaker 1: that was the best way to fight COVID. I think
Speaker 1: if we remember foremost medical expert Donald Trump in the
Speaker 1: early days, that you could just kill it by exposing
Speaker 1: it to some Yeah, if you just get some on
Speaker 1: light in deer lungs. Yeah, that's great. I'm happy. That's
Speaker 1: why I got windows in my place, put them in
Speaker 1: just during this pandemic. I was like, oh shame, we
Speaker 1: put a little window here. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we will be right back. And we're
Speaker 1: back and school is back down South, as we've mentioned.
Speaker 1: But we're just kind of keeping taps because it's it's
Speaker 1: not great. I guess there's one way to put it.
Speaker 1: It's just since people have been talking about the delta variant,
Speaker 1: we've again, we'll always keep saying why, why why are
Speaker 1: we going back to school? I can't we I know,
Speaker 1: we don't want to. We want to pretend the pandemic
Speaker 1: is over, but it is not. And again, like last
Speaker 1: time when we did this, I think on Monday, just
Speaker 1: I did another search, I said, school COVID, see what
Speaker 1: pops up. And here's what popped up up. First, five
Speaker 1: thousand infected slash exposed in Florida. This is the story
Speaker 1: from I Believe, like the Tampa area saying, quote, over
Speaker 1: five thousand students and hundreds of employees in a single
Speaker 1: Florida school district have tested positive for COVID or may
Speaker 1: have been exposed to the coronavirus. They said a statement
Speaker 1: that five thousand, five hundred nine students and three hundred
Speaker 1: sixteen staff members are either in isolation or quarantine, isolation
Speaker 1: being that they were positive tests quarantine, meaning they were exposed.
Speaker 1: Then you take a trip to New Orleans. Three thousand.
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, more than three thousand students and staff
Speaker 1: at New Orleans Louisiana public schools are quarantine INCUD a
Speaker 1: possible exposure to COVID nineteen, they said. The district, which
Speaker 1: updates its COVID tractors, said it was tracking two hundred
Speaker 1: ninety nine active cases and three dred seventy cumulus cases.
Speaker 1: A week ago. It was only one D sixteen active
Speaker 1: cases they were looking at. Then in Texas, one district
Speaker 1: is not They're just saying, fuck it. There's just shutting
Speaker 1: down for two straight weeks, no remote learning, none of
Speaker 1: that ship. They're like, Yo, nobody fucking come back here
Speaker 1: for two weeks and then we'll we'll pick it up
Speaker 1: where we left off. And they said, don't worry, we
Speaker 1: will get all the academic hours done, even though we
Speaker 1: just kicked two weeks in its ass. But don't even
Speaker 1: fucking bother because ship is so bad. Hospitals are stressed
Speaker 1: and we can't just keep like doing all this stops start.
Speaker 1: Are they going to help with the sewing in the
Speaker 1: in the spring as well? As we learned the reason
Speaker 1: that the South goes back so early is because the
Speaker 1: kids need to be out to help with the is
Speaker 1: that the harvest or the sewing. I feel like I've jack,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm my favorite charred by blacktops as
Speaker 1: a child from a city rat kid, but I don't
Speaker 1: know what. Yeah, when he said sewing it first, I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: they gotta make their own clothes. Yeh. From my mind
Speaker 1: went and I was like, right, weep. So but yeah,
Speaker 1: this is that's again we're seeing just really aggressive safety
Speaker 1: measures being put in place when all these places we're
Speaker 1: trying to do is like you know, maybe have mask
Speaker 1: mandates or and have ones where people can't be like,
Speaker 1: oh you can opt out though you can opt out
Speaker 1: so if you really don't want to, you know what,
Speaker 1: who cares what it means? And it's yeah, just chugging along. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sounds like these are going great. Yeah, so nailing it
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, and just and with kids, man, like
Speaker 1: you know they this is sucking them up to and
Speaker 1: beyond just sort of the whatever they they're trying to
Speaker 1: do to keep schools open. You'd like for all the
Speaker 1: talk of like, well, we need to think about our
Speaker 1: kids putting them in harm's way isn't a good alternative either,
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just I feel for parents. I
Speaker 1: feel for kids. I again, at the beginning of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I was like, this must be a kid's fucking dream, Like, yo,
Speaker 1: you don't have to go up to school for like
Speaker 1: three months straight. But realistically, when you see all the
Speaker 1: fallout from like how like you know, some kids are
Speaker 1: having trouble like learning at the same pace or just
Speaker 1: the socializing that you get from being in school, this
Speaker 1: the fucking toll adds up. But just rushing back to
Speaker 1: it isn't going to solve anything, right, Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: said I do feel bad for like the lack of
Speaker 1: consistency these kids are having when it comes to learning.
Speaker 1: I feel like school is already so hard sometimes, and
Speaker 1: if I had to live through a pandemic and be
Speaker 1: a stutive, I really don't think. I probably like that's it.
Speaker 1: I'm out. Yeah, I wonder what it does, because you know,
Speaker 1: like I feel like for millennials, we have a certain
Speaker 1: disdain for like academia, like as it relates to going
Speaker 1: into debt for college and then not having the same
Speaker 1: like the upward mobility that your promised or just previous
Speaker 1: generations were promised from having a college degree, and how
Speaker 1: that's slowly turned into a lot of people being like
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna go to you know,
Speaker 1: like we've seen how that sort of impacted that. I'm
Speaker 1: curious to your point, Shanon, Like when you're a kid
Speaker 1: and all you know is just like weird ship of
Speaker 1: like how schools are run, and you're probably hearing from
Speaker 1: your parents like things could be better if that creates
Speaker 1: a generation of kids who are like more aware of
Speaker 1: like how we need to be learning or if they're
Speaker 1: just gonna get burnt out by it. But I'm sure
Speaker 1: this is gonna, you know, change attitudes of people, like
Speaker 1: when they're in their adulthood, when they look back at
Speaker 1: their COVID school years. Is there any any examples where
Speaker 1: teachers pay has been increased kind of commensurate with the
Speaker 1: just absurd amount of work and like burn out that
Speaker 1: they're having to put up with trying to teach through zoom,
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be I mean, even when
Speaker 1: they go on strike, they're barely getting what they need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like, if anything, they're probably going to figure
Speaker 1: out a way to be like, well, I mean now
Speaker 1: that you're teaching from Zoom and you get to be
Speaker 1: in your own house, I mean, maybe you could just
Speaker 1: do this out of the kindness of your heart, because
Speaker 1: your passion, I mean, your your home, so you can
Speaker 1: wear your robe all day if you want. We don't care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't do whatever you want, but just pay all right, Well,
Speaker 1: kind of on the same subject, businesses aren't making it
Speaker 1: easy to get the vaccine either. They are there there's
Speaker 1: no research basically showing that wage workers are not getting
Speaker 1: the time off. They're having trouble, like getting the time
Speaker 1: off to even get a shot and have the time
Speaker 1: to then recover because you need you know, the it's
Speaker 1: by design basically knocks you down for a couple of
Speaker 1: days after you after you get the vaccine. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they you know that this Kaiser Family Foundation was you know,
Speaker 1: every health organization is trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: get people vaccinated or what's stopping people aside from misinformation
Speaker 1: and like American exceptionalism culture. But you know, they found
Speaker 1: workers who do not get paid time off to get
Speaker 1: the shot or deal the potential side effects less likely
Speaker 1: to get the vaccine. He said about two out of
Speaker 1: ten unvaccinated employees said if their employees, if their employer
Speaker 1: gave them paid time off, they'd be more likely to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And they said the time off issue was
Speaker 1: one that like these sort of surveyors and clinic representatives
Speaker 1: were encountering a lot when they met vaccine hesitant people.
Speaker 1: And you know, there were programs that were being proposed
Speaker 1: in the earlier stimulus packages that would have given employers
Speaker 1: like the like some subsidies to do this and employee
Speaker 1: and give employees more time. But the administration decided to
Speaker 1: make that a voluntary program. So you can only imagine
Speaker 1: what that means. This attorney for the Center for Popular
Speaker 1: Democracy said, quote, we have ample evidence that relying on
Speaker 1: employer voluntary policies to protect people in this pandemic is
Speaker 1: not working. The Biden team has done a terrific job
Speaker 1: in vaccination work, but it seems clear we're going to
Speaker 1: hit a wall with vaccinations as a result of an
Speaker 1: inadequate federal leave policy. So that and we're not willing
Speaker 1: to make this like a like mandate that you have
Speaker 1: to give people time off to get the vaccine and
Speaker 1: to recover if they need to, because what the funk
Speaker 1: are we talking about here? Yeah, so it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like the magic bullet though for all vaccine hesitancy. They say,
Speaker 1: you know, because there's many Like it's so weird to say,
Speaker 1: there's many styles like what discipline are you? Are you
Speaker 1: the Facebook lonely person who's caught in the echo chamber?
Speaker 1: Are you someone with trauma you haven't resolved and this
Speaker 1: is just the venue for you to be contrarian and whatever,
Speaker 1: or you're they What they say is this seems to
Speaker 1: impact the quote weight and see group, and a lot
Speaker 1: of these people within the weight and see group, about
Speaker 1: a third of like antivactors that they were surveying, we're
Speaker 1: wait and see. They said. Most of those people, or
Speaker 1: not most, but many of the people in the wait
Speaker 1: and See group have just said, Yo, if I could
Speaker 1: get time off, like I probably would, I'm literally I
Speaker 1: think I'm just waiting for time off to get the
Speaker 1: fucking vaccine. But unfortunately, the way that I'm being crunched
Speaker 1: by my bills and an employer that doesn't give a funk,
Speaker 1: it's hard. Yeah, I mean that's a that's something we're
Speaker 1: being with rent relief to where they are basically putting
Speaker 1: the onus on the people seeking aid two. The full
Speaker 1: time bureaucrats. They they're not making space for people to
Speaker 1: do the thing. I think. I think it's you know,
Speaker 1: with with regards to rent relief, it's the result of,
Speaker 1: you know, the last forty years of you know, since
Speaker 1: Reagan came along and started talking small government, and the
Speaker 1: you know, centrist media bought into that. I think we've
Speaker 1: been kind of headed down this road, but there just
Speaker 1: aren't enough bureaucrats. We like everything from Ghostbusters to like
Speaker 1: mainstream media treats bureaucracy like it's a bad word and
Speaker 1: like just the height of like just shittiness um instead
Speaker 1: of like a very necessary thing. So we're at a
Speaker 1: point where now if you want, if you want to
Speaker 1: get like aids are paying for health, if you want
Speaker 1: to get aid like financial aid during the pandemic, if
Speaker 1: you want to get rent relief, you have to become
Speaker 1: basically a full time bureaucrat on top of your normal job.
Speaker 1: To just it feels like Nathan Fielder was helping like
Speaker 1: the like politicians in DC craft these like rent relief
Speaker 1: bills because it feels like a bit where it's like
Speaker 1: tell him there's rent relief, but then they're going to
Speaker 1: have to hike up a mountain twenty miles to get
Speaker 1: to a drop box to process their paperwork to hope
Speaker 1: that they will then recoup that money, because it's a
Speaker 1: very like if they just did it out right and said,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's rent is relieved, that's a huge outlay
Speaker 1: of cash. But if you said, if you know how
Speaker 1: to navigate this motherfucker, then we might we might not
Speaker 1: be pay right now much because people fall through the
Speaker 1: correct like with Texas and ship right, all right, I
Speaker 1: think I have a mini pitch here though. Maybe we
Speaker 1: could start and like we could design like a trading
Speaker 1: cards of the anti vaxers, right, and like like make
Speaker 1: them really really awesome, and all sales that we get
Speaker 1: from that to go towards helping people get time off
Speaker 1: and rent relief. I feel like those would sell, you know,
Speaker 1: garbage pail kids are coming back, Like trading cards are
Speaker 1: gonna come back. So if we get like all the
Speaker 1: different styles of anti vactors, like the it's experimental, I'm
Speaker 1: not a lizard baby, like that's probably gonna be the
Speaker 1: one that's like holographic, I think, yeah, yeah, turning exactly actually, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got the essential oils to Q and on pipeline lady. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I'm in an acting class right now. Thankfully it's
Speaker 1: over zoom. And I've spent like a month, like almost
Speaker 1: two months with these people, and the anti vactors have
Speaker 1: started to reveal themselves, like are they being braved they
Speaker 1: or they do they think they're in They were there
Speaker 1: with other like minded people and they're letting ships. I
Speaker 1: think that they think that they're with like minded people.
Speaker 1: And then we get into these like big discussions and
Speaker 1: like we're trying to share resources. Like in the chat,
Speaker 1: we're like it's like really manic, but it's funny because
Speaker 1: people will people will be like I'm not anti vax,
Speaker 1: but like it's my freedom and you're like, wait, but
Speaker 1: that'sn't you're being at that. Basically, someone booked like a
Speaker 1: a part on like Sean Penn Show, and they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: we want to give us to you, but it turns
Speaker 1: that you're not backs. So the person got the first
Speaker 1: shot and had to wait three weeks and they were like,
Speaker 1: they better hire me in these next three weeks before
Speaker 1: I take the second shot, because they stole my freedom
Speaker 1: and I was like, you're sounding a lot like an
Speaker 1: anti vaccent. Yeah, but but I refuse to take a
Speaker 1: vaccine because I'm free to. Yeah, so are you pro vaccination? No?
Speaker 1: I can't against it, So then you're anti No, I'm freedom.
Speaker 1: I'm freedom. Freedom. That's it. That's I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 1: think sure, however you want to identify, let's go for it.
Speaker 1: So just going back to the debt relief um the
Speaker 1: sorry no, it's okay, that's I love the idea for
Speaker 1: these cards. Have been kind of doodling a design for
Speaker 1: one that I'll share with you all later. But Congress
Speaker 1: has appropriated a total of forty six billion to help
Speaker 1: tenants who were behind on their rent. As of June,
Speaker 1: three billion had been distributed throughout the entire pandemic. With
Speaker 1: like yeah, and it's I don't know. It reminds me
Speaker 1: of just a lot of things we're talking about, where well,
Speaker 1: first of all, this is also a reason people are
Speaker 1: antiaccess because the government has always made getting something from
Speaker 1: them so difficult and like a full time job that
Speaker 1: when they were finally like, okay, this is actually a problem.
Speaker 1: So we're going to create infrastructure and like give you
Speaker 1: the shot in an organized fashion. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of people just didn't trust it. They were like, uh,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like y'all. But also um free safety stuff,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 1: But just treating people like people like to give it,
Speaker 1: taking into account that these are people who have full
Speaker 1: time jobs, like with regards to just giving them the
Speaker 1: time off necessary to get the vaccine or you know,
Speaker 1: any of the like rent relief, for eviction, suspension that
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked in the past weeks about Nitia
Speaker 1: treating the homeless population in l A like actual people.
Speaker 1: The policing barrier where you call there's basically a bearer
Speaker 1: between calling nine one one and the police, where it's
Speaker 1: just like people trying to solve whatever your problem is,
Speaker 1: if it's not a like extreme violent emergency. Just having
Speaker 1: a barrier of humanity that is just trying to solve
Speaker 1: people's problems like that is. I feel like that is
Speaker 1: the thing that should be a growth industry. It should
Speaker 1: be the number one thing we're trying to just apply everywhere.
Speaker 1: And it seems to be like such a novel concept
Speaker 1: to people because we're used to forty years of just
Speaker 1: viewing everyone is like a figure on a spreadsheet that
Speaker 1: we can like get profit out of. Anyways, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: we're in good shape. Were Damn yes, sir, I just
Speaker 1: fell silent experiencing the the ultimate bummer of like, man,
Speaker 1: we see the like the possible solutions, and yet yeah,
Speaker 1: it costs money and create a bunch of jobs. But again,
Speaker 1: like let's look at Afghanistan and we're talking to yesterday's
Speaker 1: episode about like the trillions of dollars that they put
Speaker 1: into that. If they had just given that money too
Speaker 1: to the people or put it into like building out
Speaker 1: a humane infrastructure, that would have done amazing things. But instead,
Speaker 1: or just to not have the reluctance to spend money
Speaker 1: on people, whereas trillions of dollars in defense or you know,
Speaker 1: offense spending. It's just like an afterthelly, oh yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure whatever you need for ever knew? Any mean? Wait,
Speaker 1: hold up you want no? No, man, teachers need to
Speaker 1: buy their own fucking supplies. You don't miss me with that. Weird.
Speaker 1: That's so we still disconnect when it comes to how
Speaker 1: what it means to actually fund things that for the
Speaker 1: benefit of people versus the military you know, so complex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a friend who is a teacher, and they
Speaker 1: actually took some highlighters from the school that they didn't
Speaker 1: purchase themselves, and they were like, oh, yeah, I took
Speaker 1: them home. And then I experienced like so much anxiety
Speaker 1: that I was going to get accused of stealing these
Speaker 1: highlighters and I was gonna get fired. And I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: Like this is what teachers have to worry about. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we will
Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back, and you know that
Speaker 1: the Afghanistan story has really given a new opportunity for
Speaker 1: the xenophobes on Fox News and on the right to
Speaker 1: just really unite and start getting people feared of because
Speaker 1: Fox News people aren't real foreign policy fans, so you
Speaker 1: can't really get into criticizing the war or things like that.
Speaker 1: You just gotta go racism. Racism. So let's turn the
Speaker 1: xenophobia up to one million. Tucker Carlson has been very
Speaker 1: concerned about America, especially after those census results came out
Speaker 1: that said there's white people have shrunk for the first
Speaker 1: time since politicians wore wigs in this kind tree, and
Speaker 1: he's been in red alert mode. And now with the
Speaker 1: talk of bringing afghan refugees in at a bare minimum,
Speaker 1: for how much of a fucking mess the West has
Speaker 1: made their especially the United States. He is screaming about
Speaker 1: how liberals are just gonna just gonna flood your neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: That's that's what's gonna happen, and and and and you'll see.
Speaker 1: And he goes on to say again he's he's very,
Speaker 1: very um intelligent, and he uses history constantly to show
Speaker 1: people why his takes are valid. So let's just check
Speaker 1: in with him about bringing in refugees. So we're getting it.
Speaker 1: And if history is any god, and it's always a guide,
Speaker 1: we will see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our
Speaker 1: country and coming months, probably in your neighborhood, and over
Speaker 1: the next decade that number may swell to the millions.
Speaker 1: So first we invade, and then we're invaded. It is
Speaker 1: always the same. And let's use history as a guide
Speaker 1: with regards to your ideology and treating people from other
Speaker 1: countries as an invasive species of you know, pestilence, because
Speaker 1: that's what the Nazis did. Bro. Yeah, And also, I mean,
Speaker 1: but he's so close right, because what he's almost articulated
Speaker 1: was how how fucked up imperialistic American foreign policy creates
Speaker 1: refugees that we then have to welcome because like, sorry
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah yeah, come on, yeah we know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did a number over there, but instead it just
Speaker 1: turns into this like very fucking ten ft view of
Speaker 1: like and then they made then they have to come here.
Speaker 1: And let's also check in with Charlie Kirk, who has
Speaker 1: now basically said that this is actually a by designed
Speaker 1: by the Democrats to change the body politic. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: let it fall apart to now say, oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you Joe Biden's speech this afternoon. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about refugee assistance and relocation support. Now, Joe Biden's gonna
Speaker 1: be grambling make good on it, and the liberal media
Speaker 1: will love it. They'll say, oh, yes, okay, now I
Speaker 1: get it. Joe Biden is now fixing his own problem.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is stepping up and he's allowing a flow
Speaker 1: of people from the Middle East into America. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You're such a hero. Is so benevolent, you're
Speaker 1: so respectful, you're so compassionate. Do you see what's going
Speaker 1: on here? See what's going on here? What's going on
Speaker 1: here is Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more
Speaker 1: elon Omar's to come into America to change the body
Speaker 1: politics permanently. Like wow, okay, so that's their Their version
Speaker 1: is refugees means more votes and just changing the look
Speaker 1: of America. Which sure which which party started that war? There? Jack,
Speaker 1: Come on, now, get your head out of the books,
Speaker 1: get your head out of the newspapers, and stick with
Speaker 1: us in our hot take machine because we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: Because I just also, but unfortunately or fortunately, the prize
Speaker 1: in this fucked up Awards show goes to Sean Hannity,
Speaker 1: who somehow seamlessly blended Islamophobia, xenophobia, and an ad integration. Alright,
Speaker 1: a number you want to be a part of the program. Listen,
Speaker 1: There is a stampede not only out of Afghanistan, but
Speaker 1: a stampede away from high prices, over priced service from
Speaker 1: the big carriers like Verizon, A T and T T mobile. Uh,
Speaker 1: the average family making the switch to pure talk they
Speaker 1: offer the exact same coverage. Oh my god, the fucking
Speaker 1: gall of these fucking people, you're gonna use it. I
Speaker 1: mean people I showed like ours with a joke about
Speaker 1: something like that, but he really just did that without
Speaker 1: him think it was Yeah, there's a stampede on Afghanian
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're going to colds. He's back to school savings.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jack, You know, you would think that they
Speaker 1: would maybe talk about this because there's plenty of ship
Speaker 1: to be critical of. There's plenty, But I think part
Speaker 1: of it is you have to ignore the fact that
Speaker 1: it's bushed to their boy Bush too, kick this whole
Speaker 1: ship off, and they're not even cherry picking shit about
Speaker 1: Obama or Biden. You know, their Democrats who had their
Speaker 1: hands in this ship too, and even the people who
Speaker 1: voted for this ship, but that also includes their people,
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit of a weird place for them.
Speaker 1: And I also just think if on because on some
Speaker 1: level the outrage that you would see as like a
Speaker 1: human being seeing just like the pain and suffering of
Speaker 1: Afghan people Unford, that I think that would cause Fox
Speaker 1: to have to humanize these people in order to create
Speaker 1: some outrage in their audience. So they're they're just gonna
Speaker 1: avoid that completely. They're not gonna point to like, look
Speaker 1: at these people. They've been left with it, and if
Speaker 1: they do, it's just gonna be some ship about like
Speaker 1: Sharia law, which already we're seeing, you know, the takeover headlines.
Speaker 1: So stampede another kind of term that's usually used to
Speaker 1: you know, talk about animals basically, right, I mean anything
Speaker 1: anything that would humanize these people. It's again like there's
Speaker 1: a level of, uh, you have to have a skill
Speaker 1: to be selectively humanized people to be able to go
Speaker 1: along with a lot of the rhetoric. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there they are. The Tugger Carls video his sort of
Speaker 1: over the shoulder had pictures of you know, from the
Speaker 1: airport and couple of looking like but like distant shots,
Speaker 1: so the people looked like you know, ants basically like
Speaker 1: specs on the screen. Yeah. So you know, they're very
Speaker 1: skilled at what they do. It just happens to be
Speaker 1: racist and skilled racist. Yeah alright, just real quick, we
Speaker 1: do like to check in with Google to put us
Speaker 1: all in a good mood because their motto is, you know, evil,
Speaker 1: and so the work from home movement that has kind
Speaker 1: of been forced upon employers over the past year and
Speaker 1: a half has has actually been a boon. Work for
Speaker 1: hire has been shown to be more efficient for employers
Speaker 1: that are paying less rent m and so Google has
Speaker 1: taken those two inputs and decided to cut people's pay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why not? Look like like Shannon was saying when she
Speaker 1: was pitching the teachers on zoom Learn, it's like, look,
Speaker 1: yell her home, what's the what's the problem? You don't
Speaker 1: have to do anything. But it's not just then Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter,
Speaker 1: They've all offered less pay for employees based in locations
Speaker 1: where it's more inexpensive to live. But like you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of being like, well, you know, like
Speaker 1: if you're there, like you don't really need all that
Speaker 1: kind of money, like relative to the cost of living.
Speaker 1: Then some other companies have said it doesn't matter no
Speaker 1: matter what, like Zillo or read It. But a Google
Speaker 1: spokesperson said, quote, our compensation packages have always been determined
Speaker 1: by location, and we always pay at the top of
Speaker 1: the local market based on where an employee works from.
Speaker 1: Our new location are new work location tool. That's what
Speaker 1: they're That's how they just scribing. This fucking algorithm to
Speaker 1: fuck you out of your money was developed to help
Speaker 1: employees make informed decisions about which city or state they
Speaker 1: work from and any impact on compensation if they choose
Speaker 1: to relocate or work remotely. And again, it makes no sense.
Speaker 1: If you're able to pay the wages before the pandemic,
Speaker 1: it's clear that you're not in some fucking financial death spiral.
Speaker 1: So how what? I don't what is the logic exactly
Speaker 1: of cutting pay aside from it just looking like you're
Speaker 1: trying to coerce people to go back into the office. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is no logic other than their demons, and they're
Speaker 1: going to try to make those cuts wherever they can
Speaker 1: because they're greedy and they want that money for themselves.
Speaker 1: And there's just this idea that I really really loathe
Speaker 1: where people think that everyone who chooses to work from
Speaker 1: home is just like sitting on their couch relaxing and
Speaker 1: absolutely chose that because you know, that's the most fun
Speaker 1: option for them. I mean, you're totally dismissed saying that
Speaker 1: some people are working from home because they don't feel
Speaker 1: safe going to an office. Hello, offices are not safe.
Speaker 1: They're really nasty, and I don't trust any of the
Speaker 1: filtration systems that these offices have. Also, like we're talking
Speaker 1: about people who are disabled, people who can't do commutes.
Speaker 1: There's so many big factors that leads someone to choose
Speaker 1: to work from home, and then we're completely not even
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that it's not that fucking relaxing
Speaker 1: to work from home. I'm sorry, I actually think it
Speaker 1: sucks to have to constantly sit up my stupid laptop
Speaker 1: and like find a spot, especially if you're working with
Speaker 1: people that you have to see on camera and they're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, yah, it's that your kitchen in the background.
Speaker 1: It's messy, like, and then you're in your You're like
Speaker 1: bringing that work energy into your home and like it's
Speaker 1: so hard to depatch where it's like you used to
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, fuck this place, I hope it explodes.
Speaker 1: Wise I walk away, and now you're like, fuck, this
Speaker 1: is my home. I hope it doesn't explode with all
Speaker 1: the negative energy this place me in the office. The
Speaker 1: office is in my heart now. So it's like people
Speaker 1: are working really hard, even if they're from home. Just
Speaker 1: pay people what they're worth, yeah, which is probably more
Speaker 1: than what you're paying them now. Anyway, if you're going
Speaker 1: to agree about how much you know you're extracting from
Speaker 1: their labor. But fuck, like they don't even have a really,
Speaker 1: they don't even have a like a reasonable explanation for
Speaker 1: how this makes sense aside from just like we have
Speaker 1: we've created a helpful that's all tells us to pay
Speaker 1: y'all less with our new funk around and find out
Speaker 1: ways calculators. Okay, wow, aggressive naming convention. It's like, sure,
Speaker 1: if I guess, like suddenly the job is like half
Speaker 1: the amount of time and effort, maybe I'd take a
Speaker 1: pay cut. But if I'm doing the same exact amount
Speaker 1: of work, I don't care if I'm doing it from
Speaker 1: a fucking water park, like paying right at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Could you imagine taking up taking a
Speaker 1: call on a fucking doom call and you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: what's up? Let me see that proof real quick in
Speaker 1: the logo. Yeah, yeah, let's walk the colors. Oh shit, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I gotta go. Yeah. It sounds fun,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna be working on that slide, you know,
Speaker 1: like really harsh is the vibe. What people forget is
Speaker 1: that I think we've all been guilty of being like
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a day off and still kind
Speaker 1: of work on my vaca mode and then your vacae
Speaker 1: mode dissipates. It's you're just working. We have. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: hard because to go full darkness, go full dark mode
Speaker 1: on him. That takes a lot of discipline because we've
Speaker 1: i mean, I'm sure many of us growing up and
Speaker 1: working in the you know, the ways of American companies
Speaker 1: we've been, we've put had it implanted in I says like, no, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta prove that you're valuable, like you're an asset
Speaker 1: or else, like it'll all go away, Like you have
Speaker 1: to keep contributing, contributing, contributing, to the point that, yeah,
Speaker 1: even when you're like yeah, I'm gonna be on break
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's hard to truly be like I'm fucking
Speaker 1: throwing away. I'm like, actually gonna just like disable my
Speaker 1: email app so nothing can penetrate like my time of
Speaker 1: personal time because we always just I have that habit
Speaker 1: to I'm like, well, let me just check all this
Speaker 1: other ship that has to do with work, like in between, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just trying to relax and ship because they make
Speaker 1: you feel super replaceable. They hang that threat over your
Speaker 1: head at all times, letting you know, if you don't
Speaker 1: stay on email twenty four seven and I can reach you,
Speaker 1: then there's definitely some peasants someplace else that will take
Speaker 1: your pay check and let me abuse them. And it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there probably is, um, but I'm gonna work really hard
Speaker 1: to set some fucking boundaries so I have a sliver
Speaker 1: of the chance of having an a door endorphin at
Speaker 1: some point in my life. Just ye, I want to
Speaker 1: endorphins shaped like an actual ass. I don't know what
Speaker 1: endorphins are shaped life, but that's what they should be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we did. We need to talk to the people who
Speaker 1: write medical textbooks immediately. Yeah, I just want that beautiful
Speaker 1: figure one A and it's just a butt. You're endorphins
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yes, let's talk Lady Gaga real quick,
Speaker 1: as promised. We we have to get to this story
Speaker 1: because you know when this first went down, when you
Speaker 1: know her dog Walker was shot, well he was walking
Speaker 1: her dogs, put in the hospital, you know, was fighting
Speaker 1: for his life and critical condition. You know, we we
Speaker 1: initially were like that it's weird because she is offering
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollar reward for the return of the dogs.
Speaker 1: No questions asked, which seemed kind of dismissive of the
Speaker 1: fact that this person had been like, there was an
Speaker 1: attempted murder that had happened, and then he was spotted
Speaker 1: in mid May back walking her dogs during daytime hours,
Speaker 1: but then a week later had to step away because
Speaker 1: he was he was just like, I can't, like, I'm
Speaker 1: no longer in the right headspace to take care of
Speaker 1: dollgs obviously someone who takes their dog walking business very seriously.
Speaker 1: And now he has been on sort of a mental
Speaker 1: health sabbatical, driving around the country in RV trying to heal,
Speaker 1: and you know, been very open about his struggles with
Speaker 1: mental health since the shooting, and he's run out of money.
Speaker 1: He's asking forts on go fund me to help him
Speaker 1: cover the expenses as he tries to you know, drive
Speaker 1: around and get a ship back together. All of these things,
Speaker 1: taken together, make me wonder if Lady Gaga shouldn't be
Speaker 1: taking care of this person a little bit more financially,
Speaker 1: like taking care of whatever his RV bills are as
Speaker 1: he tries to, you know, get over the very serious
Speaker 1: PTSD that would come from getting shot multiple times and robbed. Well,
Speaker 1: did he have dog walkers insurance. Jack. That's my first
Speaker 1: question because if he did, that's who should be paying
Speaker 1: for these not Lady Gaga. I mean, are we serious?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean yeah. Another point is like
Speaker 1: why didn't he try to shoot the shooters before they
Speaker 1: shot him? About it? Like, I would have never let
Speaker 1: someone walk my dog unless they were also like you know,
Speaker 1: armed and ready. Yeah, I mean, this is he He's saying,
Speaker 1: I've ran out of money. I have, I've been recovering
Speaker 1: from being shot. I've had a part of my lung
Speaker 1: removed because of the incident. Help, I mean fun, I mean,
Speaker 1: like I'm sure, Like if you're the Fox News take
Speaker 1: would be like, so is everyone. So do you have
Speaker 1: to hot you have to pay for your gardener if
Speaker 1: they injure themselves while working on your house. No, you don't,
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't expect to pay for that. But this
Speaker 1: is a complete This is a scenario in which this
Speaker 1: woman's high profile or the dogs that she's walking made
Speaker 1: this person a target, and you have the fucking means
Speaker 1: to actually help this person. So it's a little bit
Speaker 1: different than maybe most situations. And you're not Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do know that she like it was reported that she
Speaker 1: paid for his medical bills initially, so did we get
Speaker 1: confirmation that that ended up not happening or did she
Speaker 1: just pay like the first wave of medical bills. This
Speaker 1: is the thing, you know what, I feel like we
Speaker 1: don't know the whole story. And this this person is
Speaker 1: on Instagram and they're asking for fort k and through
Speaker 1: a go fund me, They've got a trailer video that
Speaker 1: they edited to look stylized about their accident and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it starts with a loud gun shot, which I haven't
Speaker 1: been shot. I was like triggered. I didn't love it,
Speaker 1: so it's very a weird choice. But you heal the
Speaker 1: way you heal. That's not my place to say. I
Speaker 1: just feel like this might be a case of she
Speaker 1: helped him pay some of it, and he might be
Speaker 1: like one of us, like we were just talking about
Speaker 1: how we don't like asking people to watch our cats.
Speaker 1: He might not feel comfortable asking her for any more money,
Speaker 1: and he might also just be like this is you know,
Speaker 1: I've gotten some followers off of this. These people have
Speaker 1: shown me that they care about my recovery. Let me
Speaker 1: like experiment with leaning on the public instead of being
Speaker 1: uncomfortable asking you know, my friend's a pop star. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I want to love Lady Gaga. I
Speaker 1: want this to be just a like, oh she didn't know.
Speaker 1: He didn't he didn't feel comfortable asking. But I would
Speaker 1: say at this point, like now that it's probably crossing
Speaker 1: her radar, like hook this dude up, like the student
Speaker 1: needs help. Because it's different than like when Kylie Jenner
Speaker 1: shared her employees go fund me and was like, hey,
Speaker 1: y'all donate to my employees go fund It's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: you do that. If Lady Gaga was posting this go
Speaker 1: fund me link, I would have a way different opinion
Speaker 1: about the story. But I'm like she might like I did.
Speaker 1: I don't know where their communication is at. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they've discussed, and I actually smart. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say that people think you know what I mean
Speaker 1: that I don't know what's going on. I know what's
Speaker 1: just not helping. But yeah, it seems like at you
Speaker 1: got that somewhere. I mean, that's somewhere Lady Gaga reportedly millions.
Speaker 1: So okay, so I'm in never mind, she doesn't have it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not actually that great. You do you know how
Speaker 1: much her outfits costs like you need to chill. Okay,
Speaker 1: yeah that's true. All right, My bad, bad bad. If
Speaker 1: it if it came between me keeping my friend alive
Speaker 1: or me being well dressed, I'm going to choose well
Speaker 1: dressed every time. Of course, you can't wear your friends
Speaker 1: to a event it. Oh wait a minute, really, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good way to survive. I gotta have that
Speaker 1: meat dress. I mean you know, oh yeah, these are
Speaker 1: all my dog walkers. Anyway, who are you wearing all
Speaker 1: my dog walkers? It's a group actually a group of designers,
Speaker 1: no group of never mind. Yeah you'll you'll read about it.

Speaker 1: just love that conspiracy theory. Yeah. Yeah, that came up
Speaker 1: the other day too. Was that on on the show?
