Speaker 1: with movies, you know, like I, in my mind there's
Speaker 1: still a thing that aren't happening anymore, but I realized
Speaker 1: they are. That's me having a reckoning with that is
Speaker 1: literally the crux of our conversation around this movie is
Speaker 1: what makes a movie good. It's a box office sales
Speaker 1: and what does that mean in the middle of a pandemic?
Speaker 1: Many questions, Oh well, I'm glad to see I'm glad
Speaker 1: I have you here to say, because I might just
Speaker 1: be like, what's the problem. I think it's good, and
Speaker 1: then people like, what is you fucking study? I never look.
Speaker 1: I got my head in so many different places, y'all.
Speaker 1: There's a lot happening in the news. I'm sorry, it's

Speaker 1: a comedic actress, she's a writer, she's just all around.
Speaker 1: I mean, you might be she's pulling faces, but that's
Speaker 1: also means she's one of the most humble people I've met,
Speaker 1: and one of the honestly one of just the kindest
Speaker 1: people that I've met as well, and someone who I
Speaker 1: love talking sports with. You might know from her comedy,
Speaker 1: you might know from her various appearances all over as
Speaker 1: a stand of comedian, or maybe her podcast Sports Without Balls,
Speaker 1: but I know her as one of my favorite guests.
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the stage. Aaron folly Oh, a new
Speaker 1: manager of Joel's laugh Looks Up site. Guys, people, what
Speaker 1: you call your face night game, I think is what
Speaker 1: they're we say, for tax purposes, for our religion that
Speaker 1: we're trying to get a little tax shelter for. But
Speaker 1: oh yeah, my whole life is a nonprofit. But not
Speaker 1: according to the i r S. Tax joke, tax joke,
Speaker 1: tax joking is Here we go, there, we go. Good
Speaker 1: to see you, Miles, and now my new friend Joel. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, just uh, you know, just taking it one
Speaker 1: day at a time. And if I hit five o'clock
Speaker 1: and my head's not in the toilet, I don't feel
Speaker 1: that overwhelmed. It's a good day right now. It's a struggle.
Speaker 1: You were traveling a lot. I feel like last time
Speaker 1: we crossed paths, were you not or you were? You
Speaker 1: were mobile, you were you seem to be all around this.
Speaker 1: I was doing some traveling before shut down, and then
Speaker 1: when it shut down, I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: worst thing ever slashed. So awesome that I don't have
Speaker 1: to travel, And now I spent the pandemic in a
Speaker 1: senior community in Naples, Florida. As you do, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's right, That's what I was thinking of. And now
Speaker 1: I'm back and starting to do some stand up on
Speaker 1: the road a little bit, just a little, and I
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. Yeah, but otherwise, yeah, just
Speaker 1: really kind of happy to be back in in l A.
Speaker 1: What's the retirement community seem like in Naples? Whenever I
Speaker 1: hear retirement community Florida, I think is the Villages or
Speaker 1: or whatever that place it is called. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like a lower percentage of STDs for sure. Yeah, too
Speaker 1: long of a store. But we wind up spending about
Speaker 1: seven months there and my partner Sarah and I, Uh,
Speaker 1: the good thing it was it was leading up to
Speaker 1: the election and Naples is let's just say not not
Speaker 1: friendly towards left leaning gay people. But I have to
Speaker 1: say everyone's friendly. No, there wasn't a lot of people there.
Speaker 1: I got to know my partner's face a lot better,
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of there's a lot of wonderful
Speaker 1: silver linings. I'm not moving there. I am ready to
Speaker 1: retire though, So that was the biggest lesson, right Can
Speaker 1: we just hang it out? Can't we just? Can't we
Speaker 1: just lean back and just spend hours playing SIMS and
Speaker 1: Civilization computers three houses for hours, for playing fantasy sports
Speaker 1: over and over, just getting into new fantasy sports. I
Speaker 1: mean just literally on my phone twenty four hours a
Speaker 1: day playing fantasy baseball? Can I do that professionally? Don't
Speaker 1: young children do that now? Professionally? When I say young
Speaker 1: children nowadays or something like, I don't know what they
Speaker 1: gets are into these days. Before we get to know
Speaker 1: you better, Aaron, I do want to let listeners know
Speaker 1: Night Gang listeners, people who may be interested. We the
Speaker 1: Daily Zeitgeists are going to have a live virtual streaming
Speaker 1: show August and we would love to see you virtually.
Speaker 1: You know, we had a little tour going at the
Speaker 1: beginning of and who thought God said this is a
Speaker 1: bad idea and just hit the brakes on the whole thing.
Speaker 1: But we still want to share that show with you
Speaker 1: because it's really awesome. So you can go to moment
Speaker 1: house dot com slash the Daily Zeitgeist to get your
Speaker 1: tickets and also maybe a commemorative poster there and you
Speaker 1: might see the likenesses of you know what, me Jack
Speaker 1: super producer and the host and the a and maybe
Speaker 1: a machine that represents your two thousand. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but check out moment house dot com, size Daily Zeitgeist
Speaker 1: and check out those tickets. Now let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Before we get to know you, Aaron, we gotta say,
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? We're gonna have to talk
Speaker 1: about this. I p c see a climate change report
Speaker 1: that was just released, because we have to. We have to.
Speaker 1: We have to our Earth's future happening to us right now.
Speaker 1: If you're not frightened for yourself, you'll have reason to
Speaker 1: be frightened for your progeny and their progeny and so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. And I think this really goes
Speaker 1: to underlying just how dire the situation is. But in
Speaker 1: a way it's fan saying like, but we can do
Speaker 1: something about it, but it's really fucked up though y'all
Speaker 1: waited to we to the funk around part, and now
Speaker 1: we're finding out part. And then we'll kind of go
Speaker 1: along with that because you know, we'll see We'll check
Speaker 1: in with what is happening with the Senate and you know,
Speaker 1: they had ideas on how to you know, legislate their
Speaker 1: way out of climate change, and also just just the
Speaker 1: various ways we're dealing with it, from the problems that
Speaker 1: we have reporting climate change to even the ways we
Speaker 1: are you know, sort of disconnecting from the sort of
Speaker 1: overwhelming feeling of dread that we have to start picking
Speaker 1: fights about other really inconsequential things because the climate is
Speaker 1: due overwhelming. Then we'll maybe check in with AOC where
Speaker 1: CNN is trying to put words in her mouth that
Speaker 1: she's not saying. We'll see what happened with some people
Speaker 1: got disinvited to Obama's birthday party. Yikes, And that's already
Speaker 1: just like a you know, a bunch of comedy through
Speaker 1: lines waiting to happen. But more importantly, I want to
Speaker 1: talk suicide Squad two with Joel because I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is um and what that means, So we'll
Speaker 1: do that. Mr. First, Aaron, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay, this
Speaker 1: one's juicy. Are you too ready? This really explains my
Speaker 1: entire life in one click of a search. Is that
Speaker 1: something I don't know? I haven't had enough coffee? Okay,
Speaker 1: this happened like last night, but again I searched it
Speaker 1: again this morning. I searched the sentence is Samantha ker
Speaker 1: and Christie Muis dating. Wow, Because now if you don't
Speaker 1: know who those women are, get ready to have your
Speaker 1: mind blown. Samantha Kerr is the Australian women's national team
Speaker 1: best player football soccer soccer, but over there they call
Speaker 1: it football. Who cares. Christie Muis made our US women's
Speaker 1: national team this year, phenomenal and USL player and icing
Speaker 1: on the cake. Her sister plays Samantha Music Muis. So
Speaker 1: it's like this amazing dream team sister soccer. So last
Speaker 1: night I'm just doing my Olympic you know, recount, just
Speaker 1: to make to make sure I've got I mean, I've
Speaker 1: just literally watched Olympics twenty four hours a day for
Speaker 1: the last two and net weeks. It was just the
Speaker 1: greatest thing ever. Just crying, crying, crying, feel good, feel good,
Speaker 1: feel good, you know, cheating for everybody. I'm not like,
Speaker 1: you know, crying crying, crying, everyone's getting second dime, gold medal,
Speaker 1: gold medal, gold medal, China, China, China. Then I stumble
Speaker 1: on a picture of Samantha of Christie. MU was no
Speaker 1: idea she was gay. Maybe she's not, Maybe she just
Speaker 1: likes ladies this week. I don't care. Samantha Kurd big homo.
Speaker 1: I'm a big homo, so I can say that they're kissing.
Speaker 1: They released it on Instagram and Aaron Foley's mine was
Speaker 1: blown blown? So what I mean? What I mean, what
Speaker 1: do we do with this? Were you even shooting them before?
Speaker 1: Did this blow? You're like, I don't even I don't
Speaker 1: even think. First of all, Samantha curR has had a
Speaker 1: long term, long term partner, they have a kid together.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna work logistically. Then
Speaker 1: I didn't even know they broke up. Then they broke
Speaker 1: up Christie News. I mean, I had she just looks
Speaker 1: so straight to me, So I was like, then my
Speaker 1: mind was blown, which is so stupid to say, because
Speaker 1: who looks gay and straight. But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you're like that one's belt. Christie News did not see
Speaker 1: that one in common. So I'm so happy right now
Speaker 1: we've got like this cross Samantha Curry is like just
Speaker 1: a dream sequence. On the soccer field, I fear the
Speaker 1: moth when we play Australia. So the fact that they're
Speaker 1: dating the Matilda's I'm just so happy for them and
Speaker 1: cheering for them and it just like the world getting
Speaker 1: a little gayer. It just makes me so happy. Real
Speaker 1: life Lward drama here, do you do you think under
Speaker 1: the surface, do you think that there's you know, you
Speaker 1: said she had she has a partner who she has
Speaker 1: a like they're raising a child together with Like do
Speaker 1: you do we know the timing is a messy? Is
Speaker 1: it sloppy? Is it? I don't, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I hope it's all okay. That's where my trash TV
Speaker 1: brain comes in and like, tell me it's a mess.
Speaker 1: It's women, so it's probably light mess. I used to
Speaker 1: have this thing where you know, like it's old, like
Speaker 1: you know it was an old joke, but really it's
Speaker 1: based on the based on the truth. Like men, you know,
Speaker 1: they just run. Gay men just run into a bar
Speaker 1: and stick it in, right, But women like our app
Speaker 1: would be called like on the Verge where you got
Speaker 1: an update of two women on the verge of breaking
Speaker 1: up because with lesbians are single for thirty five seconds
Speaker 1: and then you swooped out and I'm like a bird
Speaker 1: of prey and you just pick one up from the house.
Speaker 1: So right, rotting flesh, right, if you guys are if
Speaker 1: you guys are these carrying birds, then it's like on
Speaker 1: the Verge is more positive, Miles the rotting Fledge where
Speaker 1: my grinder comes in grinder, you know what about rotting flush?
Speaker 1: What about tissue? Yeah, okay, we'll get to know. Right,
Speaker 1: So so I feel like they're both single for thirty
Speaker 1: five seconds. I'm going to say there's probably there's I'm
Speaker 1: going to vote for Messy. I don't know, but if
Speaker 1: I was, if I was betting, I'd say I'd bet
Speaker 1: on a mess appropriate pun considering you know, Lionel Messi
Speaker 1: bag in the news also shout shout out to them
Speaker 1: to Paris forgetting that guy. Yeah, I mean shout out
Speaker 1: to them for flouting every financial fair play rule there
Speaker 1: is to be like we have Neymar and Bob Bay.
Speaker 1: Now we have messy. Don't ask how we can afford it. Okay, important, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll just put one of our board members on the
Speaker 1: head of the club council. And then maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know that sup supergroup? Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely a supergroup. Aaron, what is something that you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Organized religion? But we don't have time for
Speaker 1: that right now. So I'm going to say, having your
Speaker 1: ship together, it is my new thing that I think
Speaker 1: is overrated. Tell them in the middle of a pandemic. Yes,
Speaker 1: we need to hear this more. Go on, please dr fully.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I think it stems up. My
Speaker 1: mom was here for a week, and you know, when
Speaker 1: you're when you're hanging around someone that's like in our
Speaker 1: eighties they dropped like some pearls of wisdom and then
Speaker 1: like unfortunately, like to untimely deaths in the sort of
Speaker 1: comedy adjacent world, and then like seeing how everybody is
Speaker 1: like crying when they get a bronze, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, it just feels like just whatever you can
Speaker 1: do to get through the day. Life is hard. Just
Speaker 1: I would say, just kind of lower the bar and
Speaker 1: not having it all together is fine. It's fine, you know.
Speaker 1: It just is this extreme push to have it all
Speaker 1: together and to be perfect. It's just so dumb. And
Speaker 1: you are literally surviving historic, unprecedented moments. Not only is
Speaker 1: it a pandemic, not only is the entire globe on fire,
Speaker 1: like if you are just living and making it. Congratulations Awards,
Speaker 1: gold Stick, How you did it? Yeah, I think yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting how we used to have this narrative
Speaker 1: right where it's all the time we have such hero worship,
Speaker 1: and we still do like celebrity worship to a very
Speaker 1: catastrophic extent, but it's like slowly thawing, you know where
Speaker 1: I think many people, even as millennials and younger, like
Speaker 1: I don't need to be like this fucking you know,
Speaker 1: I think all of us. I definitely grew up with
Speaker 1: this idea of who and what the funk I would
Speaker 1: be doing by the time I was beforet you, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, get ready, fucking world, because they when
Speaker 1: they say Miles, it's only gonna be one that they know,
Speaker 1: and it's Miles Gray and then very quickly like, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe if I have healthcare that's tight too.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a win also, And like I have,
Speaker 1: you know, minimal debt, you know, shout out to I'm
Speaker 1: about to pay off my car, so I'm winning. But
Speaker 1: you know, like you you really realize just for your
Speaker 1: own mental health, like that happiness really has to sort
Speaker 1: of start from like what you're feeling inside rather than
Speaker 1: like a lot of these external expectations we build or
Speaker 1: just our own expectations we have. So yeah, and having
Speaker 1: your ship together, like, just have your ship together enough
Speaker 1: that you are taking care of yourself. You can maybe
Speaker 1: extend that outwardly to some other people, but nobody's asking
Speaker 1: you to, you know, change the fucking world or you
Speaker 1: to become uber successful however you define that. Like, that's
Speaker 1: that's why I think the Olympics are important. I mentioned
Speaker 1: this last week, like I quit my job in politics
Speaker 1: because I watched the Olympics because I just saw people
Speaker 1: that were so happy and I was like, that's a
Speaker 1: fucking I don't know if I'll ever be that happy.
Speaker 1: Because to your point, Aaron, right, you see people and
Speaker 1: I hate to bring this up again, but like when
Speaker 1: you watch the Olympics, you'll like these people are very
Speaker 1: simply have distilled their life down to I need to
Speaker 1: train for this one event or a couple of events
Speaker 1: so I can compete and I hopefully can meddle in
Speaker 1: this event, and like that will be great for me.
Speaker 1: And when you have your ship down that simply like
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, that's a very high thing to attain.
Speaker 1: Isn't any kind of Olympic medal, But when they get it,
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, that's truly just this very simple formula,
Speaker 1: which is I love to do this thing. I will
Speaker 1: keep doing that because that makes me happy. And when
Speaker 1: I did the thing that I wanted to do because
Speaker 1: it was a thing that made me happy, I'm in tears,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm not in tears if
Speaker 1: I get you know, uh, some you know, some free
Speaker 1: a free fucking car rental or some ship like you
Speaker 1: know you want to feel like you you know, can
Speaker 1: spread joy or some ship. You know, it's all different.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just that's the like the proper term.
Speaker 1: It's really and I think this is like a really
Speaker 1: a lesson as you get you get, as you get
Speaker 1: older and older and older, it's like really distilling it
Speaker 1: down to those one or two things because part of
Speaker 1: the whole thing of like having your ship together. It's
Speaker 1: like it's sort of like I do this and it's
Speaker 1: it's like the writer slash producer slash slash, and you're
Speaker 1: just like, I'm getting no slashes, no slashes, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like, Okay, I today, I just
Speaker 1: like took a walk and I want to play some
Speaker 1: pickleball later, and I wanted just a couple of things
Speaker 1: that make you happy. To me, that's like having your
Speaker 1: ship together. Just I just I saw people playing pickleball,
Speaker 1: and then I looked at some highlights that shi it
Speaker 1: looks so fun because to me, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: busted ass, like not as athletic tennis, but it's you
Speaker 1: can get very athletic with it, but like it feels
Speaker 1: very easier. Are a lot easier to get into and
Speaker 1: a lot more fun destroying the old people at the
Speaker 1: retirement center in pickleball. Oh, I mean, like we'd come
Speaker 1: off the court. My partner stairs actually really good and cheese,
Speaker 1: Like just I knew she'ld be good because she played
Speaker 1: tennis in high school. But you know, we'd come off
Speaker 1: the court and be like we dominated, and they were
Speaker 1: like to it was the thing is they can at
Speaker 1: any at any age, you can be good like if
Speaker 1: they're If they're like, you don't need to smash it
Speaker 1: like that. You know, we could get our We could
Speaker 1: get our butts kicked tomorrow by two eight year olds
Speaker 1: because of like the strategy. It's so fun. Everyone should
Speaker 1: try it. It's really light and fun and it's awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underrated? This sounds ridiculous. Well
Speaker 1: I'm a ridiculous person, but I'm gonna say earphones, earbuds,
Speaker 1: ear phones, headsets, whatever the terms you use, are underrated.
Speaker 1: And it sounds weird because like, here's why they're underrated.
Speaker 1: When people don't have them in I want to murder this,
Speaker 1: literally murder them. So now I I And this started
Speaker 1: in Florida. People are walking around just blasting like whatever
Speaker 1: they are whatever. I'm in beach with canyon out the
Speaker 1: people people have ear but whatever. But when they don't,
Speaker 1: or someone like is taking a meeting outside the apartment
Speaker 1: and they don't have your ear you, I literally go
Speaker 1: it just rage, It just goes to rage, no self awareness.
Speaker 1: And I don't think I could ever truly hit a
Speaker 1: person unless they were like attacking a loved one. But
Speaker 1: it makes me feel like could I murder ball my
Speaker 1: fist uf eyeballs? Yeah? I think please, what do you
Speaker 1: think it is? I mean, because clearly we're all sound respecters,
Speaker 1: because we I think we all had the same reaction
Speaker 1: to being like oker, um, what do you think it is?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like some people I see like want
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, man, I'm on a phone call
Speaker 1: right now, so you're gonna hear that because I'm talking
Speaker 1: to people, Like it feels like that's all it's accomplishing,
Speaker 1: Like that's the only It's not like you don't seem
Speaker 1: hard of hearing or something like that. Like it's more
Speaker 1: like you seem like you want a broadcast that you're
Speaker 1: on a phone call or or is it that let
Speaker 1: us know, listeners, because look, this is where maybe we
Speaker 1: need to bring the world together. Are you guys doing
Speaker 1: it because you just aren't aware that other people might
Speaker 1: be like this fucking infernal rack it off when they're
Speaker 1: like I just like it's easier than putting it to
Speaker 1: my head. I don't know, but I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I mean again, this maybe this is
Speaker 1: me getting older and like get off my lawn. Maybe
Speaker 1: this is get off my lawn moment, but I just
Speaker 1: it's it just feels like there's no self awareness, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's like this is what
Speaker 1: what we need more than ever, is like empathy and
Speaker 1: self and just just just being respectful to the person
Speaker 1: right next to you. And when there's no earboods on,
Speaker 1: I just I don't, like I start to like real real,
Speaker 1: get real twitchy. And because I don't get a terrible sound,
Speaker 1: like there's no amount, Like it's a phone at the time,
Speaker 1: and so the sounds coming out is trash and half
Speaker 1: that I did not want to hear it, Like as
Speaker 1: a as a public transportation writer, there's nothing where and
Speaker 1: somebody who's like, let me blast my terrible jams out
Speaker 1: my phone speaker. We're in a bubble. You cannot escape.
Speaker 1: He absolutely hell if you listen. If you can't afford headphones,
Speaker 1: you just have to deal it. Like and I've been there, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think somebody who's been there. You just gotta go
Speaker 1: without tunes for the fifteen two hours and twenty minutes
Speaker 1: you have to be on public transit. Why don't we
Speaker 1: talk to our legislators and make free earbuds available to people,
Speaker 1: so there's no excuse anymore. It's like a mass you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You look, we know you know
Speaker 1: there's free air buds at the front of the train.
Speaker 1: You had them right there. Don't fucking blast because I
Speaker 1: also don't want to hear anymore of it right now.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to talk over. I just meant like,
Speaker 1: if you have a phone, I feel like you can
Speaker 1: get some cheap air phones, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like one doesn't There's sixty nine at Walgreens. They're great headphones,
Speaker 1: but they are better. You know this hair I got
Speaker 1: literally ten years ago. It fits into my computer. They're like,
Speaker 1: they're like, you know what I mean, It's like, just
Speaker 1: come on. The worst that is when somebody's playing tunes
Speaker 1: and then they play when you like and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh sh it, okay, you know what, I'm not too
Speaker 1: bad this and then all your your values go out
Speaker 1: the window. Kind of needed to hear that. I'm sorry, Hey,
Speaker 1: does anybody have another speaker you can link to that
Speaker 1: because we used to get this going, but it is
Speaker 1: what it is. All right, Let's pay some bills, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we'll talk climate after this and
Speaker 1: we're back so deep breath the climate it's changing. I
Speaker 1: think that's very clear to anyone, because you know, we're
Speaker 1: just using our dumb people regular eyes to go, yeah,
Speaker 1: something's not right. Things seem to be getting worse. On Monday,
Speaker 1: we saw the release of the report from the United
Speaker 1: Nations Inter Government Whole Panel on Climate Change, the i
Speaker 1: p c C, So you'll probably be seeing i p
Speaker 1: c C trending a lot everywhere, and they put together
Speaker 1: obviously one of the most comprehensive studies on the issue.
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know if that distinction is really
Speaker 1: that necessary because most of us like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, we know what the funk are we gonna
Speaker 1: do about it? Though, thank you, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the thousands of pages of research as we've done,
Speaker 1: that you've done, but we also many of us are
Speaker 1: very concerned. The U n chief called this a quote
Speaker 1: code read for humanity, which I think can be can't
Speaker 1: be understated enough, And I wish when he said a
Speaker 1: code read for humanity, I wish this was some promo
Speaker 1: about a new mountain dew flavor that was coming out,
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's about that we are in such
Speaker 1: a bad situation. We need to be thinking. Existential sirens
Speaker 1: need to be going off in everyone's minds. And I
Speaker 1: know many people have been thinking about this, but this
Speaker 1: is another moment where I think there's a The release
Speaker 1: of this is timed to happen right before there's a
Speaker 1: huge like international summit on climate happening in glass Ago.
Speaker 1: So many leaders have to get together and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we don't have any more excuses, although I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: come up with some, but yeah, I just there's a
Speaker 1: few things in this that just like sort of the
Speaker 1: main points. The biggest one is that people, not that
Speaker 1: you and I, but human activity. Is this the sole
Speaker 1: reason why the climate is changing. There's no other explanation
Speaker 1: except for the activity of human beings and the industries
Speaker 1: that are just massive polluters. So step, let's nail that on. Okay,
Speaker 1: with that, we can, I think most of us have
Speaker 1: accepted that. They just say that, essentially, quote society's reliance
Speaker 1: on fossil fuels is the reason the planet has already
Speaker 1: warmed to one point to degree celsius. Remember that to
Speaker 1: degree celsius school that we were trying to avoid right now,
Speaker 1: The projections are saying we're gonna get to one point
Speaker 1: five possibly within the next two decades. Even if we do,
Speaker 1: if we radically change things. So to avoid two degrees,
Speaker 1: we have to absolutely get this thing under control. The
Speaker 1: next point, which is cutting emissions to zero, is the
Speaker 1: only way we're going to stop this. We have to
Speaker 1: think of a future where we are not like actively
Speaker 1: emitting carbon dioxide, methane, these other gas greenhouse gases. So
Speaker 1: that's if we have to do that before hopefully, because
Speaker 1: if not, we could reach a three degree change by
Speaker 1: the end of the century and that would be absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, again, catastrophic. Another thing that was from the
Speaker 1: airport methane is that record levels um It's showing that
Speaker 1: methane the atmosphere is skyrocketing and it's currently the highest
Speaker 1: it's been in eight hundred thousand years, largely because the
Speaker 1: combination of natural gas leaks and unsustainable agriculture and cattle farming.
Speaker 1: So this is another thing to put on our minds.
Speaker 1: I know many people, we've talked about this a lot,
Speaker 1: and most people have heard that shifting away from sort
Speaker 1: of meat, especially red meat, and towards like plant based
Speaker 1: diets will help a lot or and also just finding
Speaker 1: a way to sustainably raise cattle is another huge thing,
Speaker 1: Like there are restorative ways to raise these animals, but
Speaker 1: that needs to become the norm if we're going to
Speaker 1: sort of begin to even pick picture how we navigate
Speaker 1: this without sort of major changes to you know, culturally,
Speaker 1: the way that we eat and things like that, extreme
Speaker 1: weather will persist. That is just the one thing they said,
Speaker 1: we have passed P A, S. S E. D. The
Speaker 1: point where we can actually do anything to reverse what
Speaker 1: we're seeing. Now. The only things we can do are
Speaker 1: to mitigate just how frequently we're gonna, you know, experience
Speaker 1: these things. So again, I'm gonna be talking for a
Speaker 1: lot and I hate to bring people down, but this
Speaker 1: is this is what I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: is crystal clear before we start joking for our own
Speaker 1: to sue our own wounds at two Just so so
Speaker 1: for an example, with heat waves at two degrees warming,
Speaker 1: if we get to that too degrees celsius change, this
Speaker 1: frequency increases to fourteen times as likely to occur. So
Speaker 1: what we saw in the Pacific northwestern Canada that took
Speaker 1: all those people lives, that will become fourteen times as
Speaker 1: likely to occur. Heat waves are just going to get hotter.
Speaker 1: And again with two degrees of warming, the hottest temperatures
Speaker 1: could go around five degrees fahrenheit higher than even previous
Speaker 1: heat waves were. So do you think you thought one
Speaker 1: twenty was bad? How about you thought one fifteen was bad?
Speaker 1: How about these are these are the things we were
Speaker 1: talking about. Droughts. If forming continues to the two degree
Speaker 1: one point, these droughts will occur, like we're seeing in
Speaker 1: the Western United States, between two and three times as often,
Speaker 1: rather than something that would happen, you know over maybe
Speaker 1: once every couple of decades or once a decade have
Speaker 1: a drought like that flooding. Again, it's gonna intensify because
Speaker 1: the water cycle on both sides, which means more intensive
Speaker 1: operation will eat to more drought. But because the air
Speaker 1: is hotter, it can hold more water vapor to produce
Speaker 1: just extreme rainfall. We saw the floods in Germany and
Speaker 1: Western Europe. We saw what happened in China. Many people
Speaker 1: lost their lives because suddenly we had these just catastrophic
Speaker 1: down boards. And again those are increasing about in terms
Speaker 1: of their frequency. Hurricanes are also going to grow stronger.
Speaker 1: We already know that we're seeing that sea level rise
Speaker 1: is rising around the world and the rate is increasing.
Speaker 1: The worstening high tide and flooding and storm surges are
Speaker 1: going to continue. By twenty one, once in a century,
Speaker 1: coastal flood events will occur at least once a year.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, at least once a year. And then other
Speaker 1: things like weather whiplash. Let's just throw that one on
Speaker 1: there for just if you needed another thing to be
Speaker 1: worried about. This is when we go from super hot
Speaker 1: and then suddenly as super hot and dry to just
Speaker 1: suddenly very wet. This is kind of like you saw
Speaker 1: this in California. Are these things all atmospheric rivers that
Speaker 1: we're causing these like really bad floods. So all again,
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, y'all. There's we're really truly past
Speaker 1: this point where I remember as a kid in like
Speaker 1: the nineties and it was like we gotta do save
Speaker 1: the planet. I was always like, man, I get it,
Speaker 1: we got time. Well, yeah, we really got to do something.
Speaker 1: That ship even fucking four years ago, I was like,
Speaker 1: we got time because it felt like that was the
Speaker 1: tone of our leadership, and I think for me personally,
Speaker 1: and I think most human beings, you you have to
Speaker 1: compartmentalize on some level because you don't want to acknowledge
Speaker 1: how dire the situation is on the planet and you
Speaker 1: don't want to think we have it's overwhelming to think
Speaker 1: we have to cut all the emissions to zero eventually
Speaker 1: to even navigate this thing. Well, it is overwhelming, and
Speaker 1: also it isn't it's mostly frustrating, right because we know
Speaker 1: that on an individual level, you could be the most
Speaker 1: like sustainable human being on the plant, right, and you're
Speaker 1: not going to make a dent in the problem. And
Speaker 1: we understand fully at we have to charge corporations on
Speaker 1: the whole to make these overall changes, from the meat
Speaker 1: industry to every industry that eaches any kind of plastic
Speaker 1: like it's it's like our federal government has the power
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, you can't sell this ship here anymore.
Speaker 1: It's literally destroying our planet, and they just don't. We
Speaker 1: understand for a fact that the cold oil companies were like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we know you could have had an etric car in
Speaker 1: the nineties, but we don't like that ship, so we
Speaker 1: cut that out real fast. We understand the electric cars
Speaker 1: are not even to the full extent of like bringing
Speaker 1: us down to your emissions because their factories create a
Speaker 1: ton of emissions. Like, it is such a large scale
Speaker 1: problem that could, I don't say easily be solved, but
Speaker 1: there's so many things we could easily do to make
Speaker 1: larger dns in this. And what's most frustrating is that
Speaker 1: scientists are now have this like giant force of people
Speaker 1: just being like, we're just choosing not to believe anything
Speaker 1: you say. We just choose of our own volition to
Speaker 1: ignore like sound science. So I at this point, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like it scares me because I believe in science,
Speaker 1: but there's so many people who are like, the earth
Speaker 1: just changes, this is God, what can we do? It's
Speaker 1: so like, you know, people die whatever. I just at
Speaker 1: this point, I'm caught between like really pressuring politicians who
Speaker 1: make active legal change this so that at least, you know,
Speaker 1: our country, who we're a huge part of the problem,
Speaker 1: can start making a drastic change, and throwing my hands
Speaker 1: up and being like, well I had a pretty good life.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bring children in this world. And
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a blessing. Maybe maybe it's well I'll
Speaker 1: die as the fires can right before they consume me
Speaker 1: and be like and get those additions into my body
Speaker 1: behind Absolutely yeah, it's it's it's understandable. I mean it's
Speaker 1: so overwhelming, it's it almost is like my first thought
Speaker 1: is like I just go into absolute panic, you know,
Speaker 1: like you just go into absolute panic. And then you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: how do you chunk it down? How do you simplify
Speaker 1: something and start with like small steps? But then it
Speaker 1: feels like we're so far past that, and then you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I always come back to like, well, this
Speaker 1: isn't going to change because everyone is thinking, well, how
Speaker 1: does climate change affect me making money? Right? It always
Speaker 1: just comes back to well, you know, it's just how
Speaker 1: much money can I lose? How much money can I get? Like,
Speaker 1: it's just money, money, money, money. The only piece of
Speaker 1: mind is like that it's a global problem, you know,
Speaker 1: because if it was just a US problem, we're not
Speaker 1: I just don't believe. And I just don't believe. You
Speaker 1: can't even convince a person to take a vaccine in
Speaker 1: a pandemic. You're gonna have them try to like lower
Speaker 1: the admission, you know what I mean, Like and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's God's will it's blah blah blah. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, the only trust I have right now is
Speaker 1: like if everyone globally like these these summits and stuff,
Speaker 1: maybe yeah I really were I really like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not having kids. I don't believe there's no God, like,
Speaker 1: so I feel like, okay, you know, but like then
Speaker 1: you just look at like how about all these people
Speaker 1: that have children, Like how about all these kids that
Speaker 1: like how about all these parents? Like you're the head
Speaker 1: of a company, You're, you're, you're, you're in charge of
Speaker 1: all this garbage going up in the air, Like how
Speaker 1: do you not have just a moment of pause, be
Speaker 1: like how can I leave the world a better place?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think because they've had their wealth has
Speaker 1: afforded them the privilege of being insulated from many different
Speaker 1: things that are destabilizing. Well, your grandchild is gonna burn
Speaker 1: in the heat of the sun, Darryl. I am actually
Speaker 1: working on a spaceship with some other billionaires another planet.
Speaker 1: We were in space while you guys are crying on Earth. Okay.
Speaker 1: Sliver of hope is that we were able to do
Speaker 1: something about acid rain in the seventies when it was
Speaker 1: very potentially, Like I mean, we're melting statues and corroding buildings,
Speaker 1: and like people were like, this is really awful. We
Speaker 1: have to do something. And then they were like, get
Speaker 1: rid of that. Air's all, like Cathin can't be done. Obviously,
Speaker 1: this is a much larger problem. But I feel like
Speaker 1: as a human race, we tend to wait until they
Speaker 1: were like, now, no, we got a few more years.
Speaker 1: We can always thank you have more time. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine if we told everyone like be a vegetarian and
Speaker 1: car pool for like five years, if everyone right now
Speaker 1: didn't have like just just small things on an individual
Speaker 1: level you could do. Don't buy your fifth car. You
Speaker 1: can I swear on the shop you get a fucking
Speaker 1: gross range rover piece of ship. I'm not I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: like if everyone bought one less car and just car
Speaker 1: just literally, if you just said car pool and eat
Speaker 1: more vegetables. But I you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: music on the way to work, I need my own car.
Speaker 1: I'm just think of what we could do, just what
Speaker 1: we could do if everyone just sacrifice just a little,
Speaker 1: just a little. But I think that's where the tough
Speaker 1: part comes in, right, because we're we're sort of looking
Speaker 1: at a system because unfortunately these issues have to be
Speaker 1: solved legislatively, likes because no one will no one will
Speaker 1: give up their eighth car or their triple hamburger. And
Speaker 1: you're looking at that and going, well, what I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna work. So now it's like, well, what can we do?
Speaker 1: And and that is I think absolutely something that we
Speaker 1: all need to think more consciously about. But the fact
Speaker 1: that we don't even have the kind of you know,
Speaker 1: intense pressure coming from government to go after like you know,
Speaker 1: just just think of like all these infinite growth economies
Speaker 1: that we have where it's all about infinite growth and
Speaker 1: it's never about like yet to a point because then
Speaker 1: once you start growing infinitely, that starts hollowing out a
Speaker 1: bunch of other ship and only you know, contributes more
Speaker 1: to the problem. Like it's so easy to just sort
Speaker 1: of be like, well, funk if they're not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think is another thing to point out,
Speaker 1: because you know, the Senate has an infrastructure bill. They
Speaker 1: put it their Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal first that they said, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're close to getting it solved, but that's not even
Speaker 1: coming close to solving any sort of climate issues in
Speaker 1: a substantive way. It's more about physics. This bill that
Speaker 1: they're on the verge of passing is more about physical
Speaker 1: infrastructure like roads and like broad band in places they needed,
Speaker 1: which are admirable pursuits. And I understand those improvements are necessary.
Speaker 1: But the real hope is gonna lie with like this
Speaker 1: other three and a half trillion dollar budget reconciliation bill
Speaker 1: that they're also talking about hopefully passing. But again you
Speaker 1: look at how senators are bristling over the price tag,
Speaker 1: and that puts you again back into place where like,
Speaker 1: oh my, are we gonna do because two people like
Speaker 1: well it seems like too much money? And it's an
Speaker 1: individual This is a society built on individual success, you know,
Speaker 1: individual wealth, Horatio Alger. Just pull yourself up, just put
Speaker 1: on food straps. You can do if you you you
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I just I have
Speaker 1: the wind is out of my sails because literally, based
Speaker 1: on everything before, but really the pandemic, how you we
Speaker 1: can't even come together in an immediate national and global crisis.
Speaker 1: We can't even come together to wear a fucking mask.
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about the vaccine so now now
Speaker 1: we're gonna, oh, you know what you should do to
Speaker 1: help the planet? Is that? I mean, imagine telling someone
Speaker 1: who's not wearing a mask you're getting vaccine, to be like,
Speaker 1: you can't eat beef? Was just gonna shoot you in
Speaker 1: the face. What happened? Some people say that to Texans
Speaker 1: and like, obviously not all Texans, but there's definitely certain
Speaker 1: Texans were like, hey, have steak every night for dinner.
Speaker 1: Mike Colon deserves to deteriorate. That's right, And I think
Speaker 1: and I get it. You know, everyone is sort of
Speaker 1: dealing with this in their own human, fucked up way
Speaker 1: because you again you sort of look at just in general, right,
Speaker 1: we we have all these little culture war battles that
Speaker 1: we do that really in a lot of instances, like
Speaker 1: we're so focused on a lot of smaller things because
Speaker 1: client it's a distraction from climate change. Like if you
Speaker 1: really think about one of the most pressing issues that
Speaker 1: we face on this planet as an entire fucking globe,
Speaker 1: right that the Earth could be uninhabitable in certain places,
Speaker 1: it should Number one, how do you what do you
Speaker 1: you want to start a small business where in the
Speaker 1: sea of fire, like you know, it's my right to food.
Speaker 1: Someone doesn't have a vaccine as a business was like
Speaker 1: zoom out of bit, sir, zoom a little bit and expression.
Speaker 1: You know, politicians they're running campaigns based on safety, you know,
Speaker 1: the rule of law, and like, you know, you see
Speaker 1: a lot of people complaining, like they're like people are
Speaker 1: peeing in the streets and like there's chaos and all
Speaker 1: this other stuff. It seems like we've substituted a lot
Speaker 1: of these smaller issues for really all of the sort
Speaker 1: of focus that climate change can take up. But this
Speaker 1: is a natural phenomenon because we're overwhelmed. We can't. We
Speaker 1: feel completely powerless to this thing that feels like such
Speaker 1: a sincere and intense existential threat. That's like fucking man,
Speaker 1: like I can't even like let's argue about like if
Speaker 1: rats have empathy or something like that and just do
Speaker 1: that obviosually they don't. I mean, have you met anyone, Well,
Speaker 1: there was an interesting study about that actually that they
Speaker 1: sometimes do, but they sometimes realize they have to keep
Speaker 1: going on. Like there was a study about like rats
Speaker 1: seeing each other in cages. Anyway, that's you mean, like
Speaker 1: GRATITUDI kind of um, But then we also go along
Speaker 1: and like accused like this like idea of chaos, like
Speaker 1: you know, the phil you know, Joe Biden has said,
Speaker 1: if we if we you know, end the filibuster or amended,
Speaker 1: it could be chaos. It could be chaos for people.
Speaker 1: It's it's not acknowled edging the chaos that exists now.
Speaker 1: It's not acknowledging the chaos that will come when we
Speaker 1: have no rules around how we vote and there is
Speaker 1: no way to control Republican held districts from just overturning
Speaker 1: election results or the fact that we'll just let the
Speaker 1: earth burn just right in front of our eyes. It's
Speaker 1: like Pelosi complaining about the fact that like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, some people may not want to pay other
Speaker 1: people student loans. What if you are I teaching? This
Speaker 1: is the things that we have been doing for forever.
Speaker 1: It's the point of being in a society is that
Speaker 1: we make sure that we're all pretty good. And then
Speaker 1: if you get like independently good, great for you. But
Speaker 1: like the goal of society, she would to make sure
Speaker 1: that most of us are okay. And it's it's mind
Speaker 1: blowing the way a lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 1: what if we hurt someone's feelings. Someone just doesn't want
Speaker 1: to do that, sopecially to do stuff you don't want
Speaker 1: to do, Like I don't understand the inability to just
Speaker 1: be like, listen, this is the highest good and we
Speaker 1: need to move in that direction. Imagine this, right, y'all
Speaker 1: have been at jobs you're about to quit, right, sure.
Speaker 1: Imagine the biggest fucking project shows up at this company,
Speaker 1: if the company you work at, and you're already like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm out this motherfucker. Bro. Like the second I get
Speaker 1: out this, think of how old some of these people
Speaker 1: are in leadership. They're in the same fucking place in
Speaker 1: their careers. They're like, out this motherfucker you kid, I
Speaker 1: can't deal with all this ship and now you've got
Speaker 1: climate change. They don't have the will to fucking address
Speaker 1: this in any way that is substantive. It's like the
Speaker 1: same energy we're relying on people who have one foot
Speaker 1: out the fucking door and one foot in the gravel.
Speaker 1: The thing at the kids for talking to her about
Speaker 1: climate change, and she was like pick one years about
Speaker 1: like girls scouts cheme to her off and like, hey,
Speaker 1: we really want to was it fine? Scene? I think so?
Speaker 1: Like we really want to push you to like make
Speaker 1: changes on climate change. He's like, you don't get to
Speaker 1: come in here and make demands of me children. It
Speaker 1: was like that's literally in their planet said we're dying
Speaker 1: about We're going to die if you just there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I get it. It It all comes together to this
Speaker 1: omni crisis that I think humans are facing. Into your point, Aaron, like,
Speaker 1: why this idea of having your ship together? That seems
Speaker 1: like the last thing you can do when we truly
Speaker 1: you'd hope that the focus can be on pressuring leadership
Speaker 1: to do the right thing. And we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to have this meeting in Glasgow,
Speaker 1: and if you're in Europe or you're a leader of
Speaker 1: you know, you see what's happening in the Mediterranean and
Speaker 1: Turkey and Greece. It's on fire right now. There's a
Speaker 1: video clip of people fleeing this fire into this lake
Speaker 1: in Greece and it looked like some straight up ship.
Speaker 1: They were like on a ferry and like the flames
Speaker 1: are just like coming, like it just engulfed this entire
Speaker 1: hillside and you're like, yeah, yeah, I I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everything should come to a halt right now, and our
Speaker 1: only priorities should be a climate change and told you
Speaker 1: just feel like all these people in charge and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm putting Republicans and Democrats all under the bus here
Speaker 1: because it's you know, it's just election, get elected, get elected,
Speaker 1: get and and you're like, what is when is anybody
Speaker 1: going to take a pause just for one second and
Speaker 1: be like, if we don't have her plan, none of
Speaker 1: this matters. I don't understand, like there unless they're directly impacted.
Speaker 1: And let's like they go back to their house after
Speaker 1: a vote and there's like a ring of fire or
Speaker 1: they're in a sinkhole, it feels like nothing will get
Speaker 1: through to them. You know, it has to directly impact
Speaker 1: them or their pocket book. Like that's it. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think most That's what's funny is like most people
Speaker 1: seem to see the effects that there that are happening
Speaker 1: around them. It will be another to then wait and
Speaker 1: see how we legislate our way out of this or
Speaker 1: if you know, like what happens, because there is a
Speaker 1: world where we do nothing and we still have very
Speaker 1: rigid borders, and you will see people in mass migrate
Speaker 1: to escape climate change. And then you will see real
Speaker 1: conflicts pop up around the world over resources that are
Speaker 1: going to be solved with armed with arms. It's gonna
Speaker 1: happen here already happening. I mean, it's already happening. It's
Speaker 1: still like people are going to be like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to New A, England. I'm gonna you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like right now that's like almost the
Speaker 1: most moderate as where I grew up. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like people crossing the border into a
Speaker 1: Rhode Island in Connecticut in forty years are people you
Speaker 1: can't It's it's literally going to happen within our states. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing is while many people
Speaker 1: just look at sort of like, well, I don't know
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do about it, we have to
Speaker 1: you have to really sort of think holistically about what
Speaker 1: this all means, like to be on this course and
Speaker 1: how it will inspire other people and affect other people
Speaker 1: in their movement. And just natural are innate habits, are
Speaker 1: just our will as human beings to survive, and that's
Speaker 1: going to be to go to where we're safe, where
Speaker 1: we find that we know there are resources this is
Speaker 1: Lord of the flies. I mean, all can expect to
Speaker 1: piggy piggy right, and the clock is sticking, but there
Speaker 1: is you know, their whole thing was, Yes, it's bad,
Speaker 1: and there are things that cannot be reversed, but we
Speaker 1: can do, how love a lot to actually change it.
Speaker 1: So you don't want to get fully black pilled here
Speaker 1: and say like, well, it's the jig is completely up.
Speaker 1: But we've definitely but we're at the point where like
Speaker 1: we done burnt one side of the toast, so you
Speaker 1: don't want to burn the other side and then it's
Speaker 1: all fucked up. You unplug the toaster, people, please, or
Speaker 1: at least away from the toaster. All right, let's let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break, pay some bills, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about something a little more fun after this and we're back. Hey,
Speaker 1: but look, we're doing what we can and it's tough.
Speaker 1: Oh one other things I just wanted to add about
Speaker 1: that climate change things like also the way our media
Speaker 1: reports it. It's really difficult for the media to report
Speaker 1: it properly. One because mainstream media is you know a
Speaker 1: lot of the first thing, a lot of journalists don't
Speaker 1: have the bandwidth or the expertise to pour through a
Speaker 1: legislative bill and say how much money for this and
Speaker 1: then be able to extrapolate a dollar amount and then say, wow,
Speaker 1: fifty billion towards solar is actually nothing at all, you know,
Speaker 1: because we're sort of caught up in this thing and
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, wow, this much for this, that's good,
Speaker 1: this much for that, that's good. But we don't it's
Speaker 1: it's seldom are we getting the real kind of hard
Speaker 1: scientific analysis on like what these numbers actually mean. Because again,
Speaker 1: when you're like a journalist and maybe the New York Times,
Speaker 1: you need to maintain relationships with politicians. So going back
Speaker 1: and be like ripping up their you know, through commentary
Speaker 1: what their bills actually do or don't do, might not
Speaker 1: be a great tactic. So and for the reader, yeah,
Speaker 1: and for the reader like it. These numbers get so
Speaker 1: large they become meaningless. All I can get my handed
Speaker 1: around is like if I see a hundred dollar bill,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that looks good. Then it gets into
Speaker 1: crazy land. Twenty seven gazillion for solar sounds great. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what that means. Billion. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that like. You know what I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: just bananas. Never say adds zeros. And then they all go,
Speaker 1: this is great no idea, And I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: an informed person and I have no idea, right, and
Speaker 1: then we're forced to having to like really look for
Speaker 1: that scientific analysis. I mean, it's out there. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, they're not getting the same platform, like
Speaker 1: on TV or whatever, because it seems like a lot
Speaker 1: of the time they they'll say it's alarmed, like it's
Speaker 1: being alarmist or whatever. It's like, We're like, this isn't
Speaker 1: alarm this is the definition of alarmist. This is this
Speaker 1: is this is the alarm, this is the this is
Speaker 1: the bell, this is get under your desks, this is
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, no more bullshitting ourselves. Um okay, let's
Speaker 1: just move on to to some people who might be
Speaker 1: bullshitting themselves nursing their egoic wound because at the end
Speaker 1: of last week we found out, you know, Barack Obama
Speaker 1: he's having the sixtieth birthday Martha's Vineyard and had to
Speaker 1: significantly downsized the guest list. That was painful to only
Speaker 1: close friends and family. But it seemed like there was
Speaker 1: it seems still like it was popping, of course it was.
Speaker 1: But you know, apparently Beyonce and Ja jay Z they
Speaker 1: are close friends and family, as of many other celebrities,
Speaker 1: but others weren't so lucky, like David axel Rod, David Letterman,
Speaker 1: O'Brien and Larry and Larry David just the name of you.
Speaker 1: All the comic people are there. Okay, listen, but if
Speaker 1: you're having a birthday party, right you want there? And
Speaker 1: she showed up. She sometimes doesn't show up to the
Speaker 1: Grammy's frequently late. Okay, but she showed up. That makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. David Letterman is gonna be asleep by nine.
Speaker 1: He's not interested, He's it's fine. I'm sure David was like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank god, anyway, I don't I don't. Conan is probably hurt.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, and it's like, hey, I'm in there.
Speaker 1: I'm a fun guy. I feel like Larry David was
Speaker 1: also like man and his classic Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's it's funny because every sort of comedic take on
Speaker 1: the internet was just sort of like this feels like
Speaker 1: a Curb episode where Larry David is invited to Obama's
Speaker 1: birthday and then not invited and then whatever he does
Speaker 1: after that, I'm not I'm trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: that premise would go on an actual curb episode if
Speaker 1: it's that, you know, like one thing would be that,
Speaker 1: like if COVID wasn't a thing and that wasn't the
Speaker 1: reason for him being disinvited. It's because like he gets
Speaker 1: like he'd probably talking up like a beautiful woman because
Speaker 1: it's single Larry, and he's like, you know, we can
Speaker 1: go to Obama's birthday and they go out to Martha's
Speaker 1: vineyard and then at the door, they're like, sorry, Mr David,
Speaker 1: we can't let you in, and he's like, but but
Speaker 1: but I'm on the list, and it's like and then
Speaker 1: they find out it's like something he said in the
Speaker 1: past that like to stop the Obama's or whatever, and
Speaker 1: he's like, or I don't know, that's it. That's an
Speaker 1: easy cross out for me, and it probably, honestly, behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, was a very easy cross out. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is like your last breath, dying words. You don't
Speaker 1: disinvite Beyonce. You don't have a party without Beyonce. When
Speaker 1: you're on the dance floor, do you want David Letterman?
Speaker 1: Good God, No, he needs you need to start. I mean,
Speaker 1: Beyonce is like the ultimate guest to literally anything. There's
Speaker 1: white male comics more than Barack Obama. Even you'd be
Speaker 1: like Obama came to my birthday, Like, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: Beyonce's you know what that line? I mean, there's no
Speaker 1: this is the easiest cross out and you just mentioned
Speaker 1: four dudes where you're like, yeah, nice to have. Conan's
Speaker 1: the shining star out of all of them. But I'm
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll you know, you take out twenty before
Speaker 1: you take out literally seventy the guest lists, before you
Speaker 1: disinvite beyond because crazy comes along great. But my mother
Speaker 1: might not make it to my party if I'm like
Speaker 1: Beyonce mom, I don't know. Maybe, I mean I have to.
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, but you get it right,
Speaker 1: you get drop you into the picks. I'll photo shop
Speaker 1: you into the picks. But you know, you look at
Speaker 1: Oprah and Abra Duvernet. They also they said, actually we're
Speaker 1: not going to go because Delta were like where we
Speaker 1: thank you said if you come to her house and
Speaker 1: you are vaccinated, you must still do a minimum of
Speaker 1: a five day quarantine before you can enter her main domicile.
Speaker 1: She was like, I'm not she is not playing around
Speaker 1: with this virus. Okay, she said, it's not gonna catch
Speaker 1: me in my Hawaiian lair. Okay, I'm staying here. You're not,
Speaker 1: Just like She's like Beyonce and and it was somebody
Speaker 1: because Gail asked her for. She was like, oh for,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm vaccinated. So you're saying if I came,
Speaker 1: I slept quarantine. She's like, not in private jet, said girl,
Speaker 1: you know I don't always fly that way. And I said,
Speaker 1: this is the wildest rich people conversation I have ever heard. Elite.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't fly a private earth fucker yet.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well then yeah, you're gonna have to quarantine.
Speaker 1: It's part of the quarantine. Just rolling around in bags
Speaker 1: of cash for five days. Yeah, please watch the poor
Speaker 1: stink off of you with these money bags. Just take
Speaker 1: all these. We don't have handtels. We just have just
Speaker 1: a hundred dollar bills that you just wipe your Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she'll know, she'll know, she can smell it on people.
Speaker 1: Please use this, oh, paris, the shredded dollar bills, just bags.
Speaker 1: Oh I want to say, I would be better in
Speaker 1: her position, But I have no idea. Yeah, right, I
Speaker 1: hear it. I mean that's but the thing is, I
Speaker 1: would I would still like to get invited. I'll do
Speaker 1: all of that to go to Christo. She's like, that
Speaker 1: man elected, I'm not worried about it. He'll call me tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: She's like, I'll dance with him. At another time, she's like, honestly,
Speaker 1: that's the thing that was the party for the press
Speaker 1: to think that he had. The real one happened in
Speaker 1: this other look, you guys, truly it was an underground
Speaker 1: bunker in the fucking Adirondacks that you had to do
Speaker 1: and all of destines child was there. So I mean exactly,
Speaker 1: they reunited, you know, they reunited, all right? And then finally, Joel,
Speaker 1: what's what's happening in the movie world, Because as I
Speaker 1: told you, I am woefully out of touch, Like whoa
Speaker 1: black rest in peace? WHOA here's your where your your
Speaker 1: political money? Knowledge is gonna come in hand and help
Speaker 1: me because I know about the movies, but I have
Speaker 1: We're having to be asked big questions the film industry
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, so suicide squad some people are calling
Speaker 1: it too, but it's actually titled The Suicide Squad came
Speaker 1: out over the weekend. HBO Max decided to launch it. Yes,
Speaker 1: you said, it's not because it's James Gunn directed this one, right,
Speaker 1: I know this much. He did this one, and they
Speaker 1: are treating it that's not as like a piece that
Speaker 1: actually works with the first one. That's why they changed
Speaker 1: it to some of the confusion. Right. So, so they
Speaker 1: really saw on both platforms, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: concerned about, like, why didn't this movie do well? Right?
Speaker 1: It did fine, right, it made some I think it
Speaker 1: did million domestic and seventy two point two million worldwide,
Speaker 1: which is you. I think the goal post was like
Speaker 1: thirty thirty million was the benchmark for like this is
Speaker 1: an okay weekend opener. There's a lot of seculation about
Speaker 1: what happened. Some people think it's this title situation. Even
Speaker 1: my roommate Nathy's like, this is a sequel. Technically it
Speaker 1: is a sequel. It's all the same. Like main player characters.
Speaker 1: Amanda Waller played by Viola Davis is still there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is still there, but the Joker
Speaker 1: isn't there and Will Smith isn't there, right, But if
Speaker 1: you were familiar with the comic and the context of
Speaker 1: these characters, that's what suicide Squad is. It's Hey, some
Speaker 1: supervillains on death row. We're gonna bring you in, but
Speaker 1: while on a possible omission, you may die. If you
Speaker 1: come back, we'll take some years off your sentence. You
Speaker 1: may have to go back down in the field again. Um.
Speaker 1: If it's not a sequel and it doesn't have the star,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversations like, oh, well, Will Smith
Speaker 1: wasn't it so people didn't want to see it. I
Speaker 1: am not convinced, like post that star power is a
Speaker 1: thing anymore. With the advent of the Internet and specifically
Speaker 1: social media, we have a lot of different things that
Speaker 1: qualitify as a start. I Wilsmonth's obviously iconic giant. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to take anything away from him, but I
Speaker 1: don't know, like his last couple of movies, not all
Speaker 1: have performed. Will Smith's levels was great. I don't think
Speaker 1: that him not being there it's okay, especially when he
Speaker 1: has somebody like interest Elba, who maybe isn't the box
Speaker 1: office in station that Will Smith's is. But the trends
Speaker 1: reasonably well, and I think Bring does bring certain gravitas
Speaker 1: to films and put butts in seats. There's also the
Speaker 1: concern people were questioning, you know, is it because of COVID.
Speaker 1: I think COVID has a big impact, but because it
Speaker 1: didn't make as much as say a Space Jam a
Speaker 1: New Legacy which did cross that thirty million to thirty
Speaker 1: one million, or Jungle Cruise thirty five million, were like, well,
Speaker 1: it couldn't be COVID, but it's rated are There's so
Speaker 1: many like rectors that go into like why didn't this
Speaker 1: movie make a lot of money? But what's really upsetting
Speaker 1: to me is that a lot of people are suggesting
Speaker 1: that like nobody wanted to see it period, and I
Speaker 1: just don't think that's the case. I think they made
Speaker 1: a huge gamble going with an R rated film, right
Speaker 1: we know PG thirteens will always make more money because
Speaker 1: teenagers will go out and see it. They have a
Speaker 1: lot of disposable cash. Blah blah blah. I think that
Speaker 1: this movie is you can't even argue it's so much
Speaker 1: better than the original one, leaps and bounds better, mostly
Speaker 1: because Warner Brothers didn't decide to do a re edit
Speaker 1: based off of an add because people had good reactions
Speaker 1: to it, like Gun like really held it down. It's
Speaker 1: super violent. It's absolutely like ditched into the essential of
Speaker 1: these characters and evolves them. I think that there's a
Speaker 1: lot to love about this, but I do wonder like
Speaker 1: a lot of people saying like, oh, well, it's not
Speaker 1: successful or this is a failure. It has not yet
Speaker 1: made its money back. I think this movie had a
Speaker 1: budget of a hundred and only undred and seven million
Speaker 1: something that a lot a lot of money went into
Speaker 1: making this movie, which if you compare it to a
Speaker 1: similar movies, Deadpool two was made for hundred and ten,
Speaker 1: Logan was made for nineties seven, Joker was made for
Speaker 1: sixty five million. The last two are R rated movies.
Speaker 1: They made a lot of money back. Some people thought
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, this is too much money to
Speaker 1: spend on an R rated film. I think DC is
Speaker 1: doing the only thing it can do, especially when it's
Speaker 1: up against the giant like Mark, like it's DC and
Speaker 1: Marvel period. When it comes to comics, there's a ton
Speaker 1: of other comic book companies, but those are the two
Speaker 1: major ones, and Warner Brothers has to do something to
Speaker 1: pull out ahead and try to be competitive Marvel. It's
Speaker 1: like they're only goal. It's it's the only thing that
Speaker 1: makes sense to them to lean into an R rated
Speaker 1: market when it's something Disney absolutely will not do with
Speaker 1: their main Brand's the only thing that makes sense. And
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make content that good in the nineties,
Speaker 1: this is a smatch hit because it's gonna keep running
Speaker 1: in theaters. People gonna be like, oh God, I have
Speaker 1: to see that. I Am not going to a theater
Speaker 1: right now, but I want to see the theaters. It's
Speaker 1: still good. I've already seen it twice. Would absolutely have
Speaker 1: paid for the privilege on HBO Max to view it.
Speaker 1: It is a really really solid film, with some hay
Speaker 1: wire stuff in the end, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: really enjoyable film, good action, great performers like you've never
Speaker 1: had Viola Davis and it just Elba go toe to toe,
Speaker 1: but in this movie they do, and it's exciting and
Speaker 1: it's fun. I think this is a smart move. I
Speaker 1: think that we as a community film folks have to
Speaker 1: have to have to get back into the idea of like,
Speaker 1: let a movie breathe. A movie should not be the
Speaker 1: lifetime of a movie should not exist based off of
Speaker 1: its opening weekend numbers. I think if we look back
Speaker 1: when we just watched um this whole behind seen things
Speaker 1: on Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman ran for like a year
Speaker 1: and a half in theaters, and I know we don't
Speaker 1: live in that world anymore, but I wish we had
Speaker 1: found a way to like look beyond just what how
Speaker 1: much you did this movie make? As far as like
Speaker 1: it's this successful end well this like there's start of
Speaker 1: people be like who heads are about to world? D
Speaker 1: see so many people are gonna get fired. I was like,
Speaker 1: but for what for making a solid movie that maybe
Speaker 1: hasn't found its audience yet? Because we use this very
Speaker 1: messed up lens to look at to quantify success right now.
Speaker 1: And I think especially like in the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 1: when marketing people started taking over development at the studios,
Speaker 1: they completely change the emphasis of what a film that
Speaker 1: should be made is because they're they're like, well, get
Speaker 1: the numbers, marketing people in here, because we just got
Speaker 1: to get stuff that like does well, like, let's not
Speaker 1: take risks and make fun things. Let's just get nailed
Speaker 1: on after nailed on hit and at the expense of
Speaker 1: giving people that you know, freedom to like ID eight
Speaker 1: or experiment and things like that, and so yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's like what makes it in as
Speaker 1: twenty six point five because I didn't get the thirty
Speaker 1: that it fell like under four millions. Short, people need
Speaker 1: to calm down, for god's sakes. It's opening weekend, in
Speaker 1: the mid in the middle, and also with all the streamers,
Speaker 1: and then right to we're not gonna know numbers, and
Speaker 1: this whole definition of the success, this whole models changed everything.
Speaker 1: Throw the books, nobody, nobody. Everyone just has to be like,
Speaker 1: this is how it's done, so it doesn't hit eight millions,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, stupid whatever. The movie is gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. The movies is gonna be fine. I just
Speaker 1: think that, like for me, this is indicative of such
Speaker 1: a much larger problem within the film industry, which is
Speaker 1: we're no longer interested in making middle movies. Right, it's
Speaker 1: blockbusters or bust. And I think that that's a really
Speaker 1: bad It's it's a bad call for movies because then
Speaker 1: you're relying very specifically on star power alone, which doesn't
Speaker 1: allow you to develop new talent at all. And so
Speaker 1: he ends up happening is you get a lot of
Speaker 1: indie guys who've made a small film that did well
Speaker 1: at a film festival get pulled up into the stratosphere
Speaker 1: of doing a hundred million dollar box office sensation that
Speaker 1: they don't have any idea how to run or operate
Speaker 1: or direct because they're going from maybe they had sixty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to make a film too, now they
Speaker 1: have a hundred millions. They've got two separate crew shooting
Speaker 1: around the clock. It's just it's not as far as
Speaker 1: like creating developing talent a sufficient model moving forward. And
Speaker 1: I do think that if we don't take some time
Speaker 1: to like find that middle ground and find and create
Speaker 1: movies that like really I feel like Tug of the
Speaker 1: heartshings and become these like indemnable classics that we truly love.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at things like a Creamer versus Creamer,
Speaker 1: like all of these different kinds of movies that have
Speaker 1: you know, young star talent, young directors and writers who
Speaker 1: are sort of just working on their craft and who
Speaker 1: want to tell something that isn't about appealing to the
Speaker 1: widest demographic, but it's a story that is personal to
Speaker 1: them that can't just stay in the indies or it shouldn't.
Speaker 1: I just think that there has to be space for
Speaker 1: that at these larger places. And I think that while
Speaker 1: Suicide Squad was never going to be that because I mean,
Speaker 1: it's got all of the superstars, I think when we
Speaker 1: can't even allow a movie like this to do okay
Speaker 1: instead of great, then that definitely doesn't leave any hope
Speaker 1: for the rest of these films that you know, I
Speaker 1: think we should be making. And even last week when
Speaker 1: we're talking or I think the day maybe yesterday, when
Speaker 1: we were just talking about how this even affects like
Speaker 1: black filmmakers to when you're you're focused on this like
Speaker 1: sink or swim model and it has to be just
Speaker 1: just bookoo bucks out the gate, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to you know, black writer, director or whatever trying to
Speaker 1: get their foot in the door. If it's not there,
Speaker 1: then boom, that immediately evaporates because we're so overleveraged on
Speaker 1: this idea of like in immediate success, like we have
Speaker 1: to do numbers like we've got. We've got to tell
Speaker 1: people what we've earned at this corner we've lost. Isn't
Speaker 1: the middle ground though? Couldn't it be more like when
Speaker 1: it when this whole new model of releasing a movie
Speaker 1: on HBO, Max or Hulu at the same time as theater,
Speaker 1: does that take some of the pressure off, like if
Speaker 1: if in the lower budget or middle movie. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't ask that, right, I meant your point,
Speaker 1: which I think is a really great point of just
Speaker 1: it has to be this blow up, it has to
Speaker 1: be so huge. Is there a model where all these
Speaker 1: movies that have to be so big and so huge
Speaker 1: they there's a different model now of success in the theater.
Speaker 1: First may be the smaller movies will gain traction of
Speaker 1: just a release on Hulu and a release on HBO
Speaker 1: and a release on Netflix. The problem is we're still
Speaker 1: working out contractually how to make sure everyone gets paid
Speaker 1: in a way that's very and equitable. Right. So, Scarlett
Speaker 1: Joe Hanson just had a sue Disney, and you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know love lost between me and Scarlett Joe Hansson,
Speaker 1: but I still hope she wins her suit because in
Speaker 1: her virtual contract it was based off of ticket sales.
Speaker 1: Right when she's right and you know, very well documented
Speaker 1: her lawyers and her team was like, yo, if you
Speaker 1: have to release on streaming, that's fine, but we need
Speaker 1: to renegotiate what her back end sales looks like. Right,
Speaker 1: And this is a problem is happening all over the place.
Speaker 1: So there's a really great article just came out this
Speaker 1: morning about comic book creators who are maybe maybe seeing
Speaker 1: five thousand dollar checks from these movies based off characters
Speaker 1: that wool Block came from their head, right, And so
Speaker 1: the issue then becomes like if if you're putting the
Speaker 1: smaller movies on streaming and go, well, we didn't make
Speaker 1: any ticket sales off that, so you're not getting jack.
Speaker 1: You know, we understand like in order to for again,
Speaker 1: for a lot of black folks, you have to create
Speaker 1: your own production company in order to get any kind
Speaker 1: of good content out there. But what Davis has had
Speaker 1: to do it DuVernay has her own production company. Even
Speaker 1: the little girl from Blackish on creation like a thirteen
Speaker 1: year old mogul created her own productions. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's there's a necessity in developing your own space
Speaker 1: so that it's easier to say yes or no. You're
Speaker 1: putting up a little bit of capital, but the hope
Speaker 1: is then that you're getting some of that back in
Speaker 1: the back end, and the only way we've done that
Speaker 1: so far is through ticket sales, and so I'm just
Speaker 1: not sure if relegating smaller films strictly to streaming is
Speaker 1: going to solve or exacerbate that problem. My hope is that,
Speaker 1: you know, we find a way, because because I don't
Speaker 1: think the streaming model is going anywhere. People like watching
Speaker 1: films from home, and unlike previous years, people have whole
Speaker 1: movie theaters in their house right for actors and you
Speaker 1: know whatever, couch sometimes they actually have the reclining chairs,
Speaker 1: like whatever it is. People are comfortable watching movies in
Speaker 1: their house and it's less expensive. I just think what
Speaker 1: I thought for a while is that what's going to
Speaker 1: continue to do well in movie theaters are event movies.
Speaker 1: Suicide Squad is absolutely a movie I want to see
Speaker 1: in theaters because it's so freaking big and loud and
Speaker 1: and there's something to watching like those. Like event movies
Speaker 1: and horror movies are better in an audience than they'll
Speaker 1: ever be at your house. Right, A scare is not
Speaker 1: as scary, yeah, by yourself, when but there's sixty people,
Speaker 1: Oh god, no, that's I'll turn off. I'm like no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm often but then but then you're in the ride
Speaker 1: together and it's like a very visceral as close to
Speaker 1: like theatrical theater as you can get, right, And that's
Speaker 1: what makes movies great is it was this opportunity to
Speaker 1: expand theater to places that don't typically have theater. Right,
Speaker 1: it's just like it's just h Yeah, there's something so
Speaker 1: great about the community of theater and movie goers that
Speaker 1: I genuinely don't want to lose. But there's also something
Speaker 1: so great about film and theater creators that I really
Speaker 1: I just want to see them be able to do well.
Speaker 1: And maybe the answer will be more like arc Light
Speaker 1: and uh crap, what's the Austin, Texas Movie House? More
Speaker 1: like as if Alma post pandemic. They've got a pretty
Speaker 1: solid plan post pandemic to roll out a bunch of
Speaker 1: new movie theaters across the country, and theaters like that
Speaker 1: who really really love cinema, the artsy aspect of it,
Speaker 1: the weird, the different can come along and then you
Speaker 1: know your standard a m c s can continue to
Speaker 1: do big budget things. I would really like to see that,
Speaker 1: and then maybe there would be like a ticket price
Speaker 1: disparity between those two. I'm not I'm not. I don't
Speaker 1: do the money science maths stuff, but I think that
Speaker 1: there might be a way forward in that because little
Speaker 1: movies they deserve respect to. Absolutely, Suicide Squad was great.
Speaker 1: It was what it needed to be. We deserve adult content,
Speaker 1: damn it. Not everything needs to be PG thirteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. We we deserve adult content, damn it. I
Speaker 1: see a shark rip a man in half. It's all
Speaker 1: I'm asking for. And it's great, and you do and
Speaker 1: you get that and you shall receive well. Thank you
