Speaker 1: So if you're dyslexic, you might know her as nine

Speaker 1: our hearts she will always be Caitlin Duranto. Wow, what
Speaker 1: an introduction. Thank you so much. I wish I had
Speaker 1: a new anagram, but I think I'm running out. We've
Speaker 1: had Pete Graham. It's critical mass over here, it's anagram station.
Speaker 1: I don't have any new ones. But um, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean you shouted out a few of the classics. Don't
Speaker 1: forget Lauren D. Titanic. That's that's true, and that's a
Speaker 1: that that could be like a fake I d name too.
Speaker 1: I'm considering writing just like a whole TV series and
Speaker 1: the main character's name is Lauren D. Titanic. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: would her like traits be? What would her character traits be? Just, um,
Speaker 1: she's very large, she breaks in half sometimes she swim.
Speaker 1: She was bitten by a radioactive Titanic. I'm assuming yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you do that origin story too. Just however
Speaker 1: you choose to visualize someone being bitten by a radioactive Titanic.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it. Artists out there, please make
Speaker 1: make a rendering of this. Thank you. Alright, Caitlin, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things. We're gonna be talking about. Can't stop,
Speaker 1: won't stop the pandemic. It's just really really doing a
Speaker 1: number on the on the globe. Uh So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. We'll talk about the Republicans doing that. You
Speaker 1: turn on the vaccines and the overall concept of vaccine passports.
Speaker 1: We we've been here before, apparently a mirror hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. We were dealing with almost the exact
Speaker 1: same situation with the smallpox vaccine and had anti bactors
Speaker 1: back then too, So we'll we'll talk about that and
Speaker 1: how we uh ended up getting to the bottom of that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Havana syndrome because it has entered a
Speaker 1: new dark era, a new zero dark era, if you will.
Speaker 1: We will continue with our ongoing coverage of the Tokyo
Speaker 1: ship show all of that plenty moore. We'll also be
Speaker 1: shaming Miles for not having seen penitent too, even though
Speaker 1: we fucking promised, promised. Shame, shame on. It's not as
Speaker 1: simple as this, and shame all y'all for for just
Speaker 1: reducing this down. So it's just a narrative where I'm
Speaker 1: the bad guy. You can't take our shame and and
Speaker 1: onto you and put it back onto us. That's not
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm rubber, You're glue. The shame
Speaker 1: bounces off of me and sticks onto you. All right,
Speaker 1: But before we do any of that, Caitlin, we like
Speaker 1: to ask our guess, what is something from your search history.
Speaker 1: I just googled Wellington's Paranormal just to see where it's streaming,
Speaker 1: and I found the answer. It is a spinoff of
Speaker 1: what we do in the Shadows is I don't know
Speaker 1: if it has been off from I think it must
Speaker 1: be sent off from the movie, not the series, because
Speaker 1: it features characters in the movie, so it's basically I've
Speaker 1: only seen the first five minutes so far, very far
Speaker 1: into my exploration of Wellington Paranormal, But my understanding is
Speaker 1: it's a few officers of the law, so it might
Speaker 1: be capaganda, but their characters who are featured in the movie,
Speaker 1: who like come into the vampire House, so it's people
Speaker 1: we've met before. The series follows these two characters who
Speaker 1: get involved in the like paranormal division of the Wellington's
Speaker 1: Police Department, and then they start investigating like paranormal incidents
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, as long as they're
Speaker 1: not enforcing private property rights of you know, real estate magnates,
Speaker 1: I think we can give the Wellington Supernatural Subdivision a
Speaker 1: pass here, and also the Kiwi's we love them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Based on the poster, I'm getting an X Files meets
Speaker 1: Keystone Cops vibe. That's amazing. Yeah, which I'm here for
Speaker 1: first five minutes. Do you recommend? Good? So far, so far,
Speaker 1: so good. It's on HBO Max as well as Hulu,
Speaker 1: I think, but if if you have like the very
Speaker 1: premium version of Hulu, which well there's levels to Hulu
Speaker 1: like that. Oh yeah, I think if you get like
Speaker 1: the live TV version, which is like prohibitively expensive, what
Speaker 1: are you again? We spend so much money on these
Speaker 1: streaming things. Does my head in, Yeah, but that's not
Speaker 1: real money because it only charges your account once a month.
Speaker 1: Then you kind of lose track of it. So that's true,
Speaker 1: and it's like little it's like a little bits like
Speaker 1: six bucks there, seven bucks there is nothing, And then
Speaker 1: you look at it over a year and you're like,
Speaker 1: what am I? How do I spend four thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in stream? I'm like, I don't even watch that much
Speaker 1: Bar Rescue anymore, but I still pay for Paramount Bluff
Speaker 1: And what we Do in the Shadows is also on Hulu, right,
Speaker 1: I think the series is the movie. Well here, let
Speaker 1: me consult. The series is very good. The series is great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just got the first episode and I really liked it.
Speaker 1: I'm talking. I'm saying things like I'm here for and
Speaker 1: can recommend. Now that's my new personality, by the way,
Speaker 1: I love that for you. But what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Caitlin, Oh, I think the um like
Speaker 1: when you go to the movie theater and you get popcorn,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite food, movie theater popcorn best. But
Speaker 1: then the like liquid butter that you can like pump
Speaker 1: onto your movie theater popcorn that is the most overrated.
Speaker 1: Dare I say disgusting thing ever invented by humans? Let
Speaker 1: me give you an alternate to that. Get some fucking
Speaker 1: Get some hollopangos, ask some for hollopangos. Put some hallopango
Speaker 1: was on your popcorn. It's really good if you're if
Speaker 1: your stomach can deal with halloping us, which mine can
Speaker 1: like one out of every five times, and so I
Speaker 1: still do it. I will say, um my blood type.
Speaker 1: There's actually a movie theater popcorn butter. Dude. I would
Speaker 1: get fucking ripped by my parents because I would be
Speaker 1: like if I if they ever caught me buttering my
Speaker 1: own popcorn, They're like, you are going to die, Like
Speaker 1: what are you doing in my hand? I would just
Speaker 1: have but like popcorn butter up to my elbow. And
Speaker 1: then ship has evolved over time because most of the
Speaker 1: time now it's just coconut oil that they're they're flavoring
Speaker 1: to make like butter. It's actually not butter at all.
Speaker 1: It's that's as I learned, because I'm like, some tastes different,
Speaker 1: something like it's a coconut oil. I'm like, what to Actually,
Speaker 1: if you rub it on your face, it'll clear up
Speaker 1: your complexion. Oh yeah, it's good for you. But yeah,
Speaker 1: now I just do that. I'll do a nacho cheese,
Speaker 1: a cup of nacho cheese, and then I dip up
Speaker 1: a popcorn at a time. Yeah, shout out to my
Speaker 1: boy Chris for showing me that I have a friend
Speaker 1: who will get a little cup of the movie popcorn
Speaker 1: butter on the side and dip his popcorn and that
Speaker 1: because he knows I don't funk with it if we're sharing. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's just nice, but it's also gross because like the
Speaker 1: things just wet. That's fun, understand, it doesn't taste good,
Speaker 1: and then it just like makes your nice crisp popcorn
Speaker 1: just like AZ. Yeah, I think that's why you have
Speaker 1: to do it in layers, right, I mean, like you
Speaker 1: have to really like shake it around. I've definitely I've
Speaker 1: definitely had movie Butter ruined my popcorn because, like I
Speaker 1: it all went on like one spot and then there's
Speaker 1: just like a soggy, wet spot of popcorn. You really
Speaker 1: need to like be very careful about how you apply it.
Speaker 1: When that movie alex Ander came out, I got so
Speaker 1: high with my friends and we went to go see
Speaker 1: the movie I'm not I'm and I'm talking fucked up okay,
Speaker 1: And I went just to the dark side with the
Speaker 1: movie Butter Bobcorn. This ship was pulling at the corner
Speaker 1: of the bag and eventually just got all over my
Speaker 1: jeans and I walked out with like an oil slick
Speaker 1: all over my pants. And I was just like so
Speaker 1: mad because the whole time I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is great, and I didn't realize the whole time just
Speaker 1: ruined my my niche jeans, their cars spinning out behind
Speaker 1: you like in Mario Kart. Because yeah, I'm with you though,
Speaker 1: Like I I think it's like popcorn without the movie.
Speaker 1: Butter is still pretty buttery, still pretty sold, still pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, I'm a freak. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that a lot of more people are like in your
Speaker 1: camp miles of like wanting to douse slash ruin. They're
Speaker 1: being American with it before at juice on my food?
Speaker 1: Excuse me, sir, will you fet juice up the popcorn?
Speaker 1: Because you know when you go and like and the
Speaker 1: person who's serving the popcorn like and they butter it
Speaker 1: for you. You know who the O G s are
Speaker 1: because they're like, how much? But do you want? And
Speaker 1: I said, take me to the emergency room. I got you.
Speaker 1: And what they do is do one light school butter
Speaker 1: shake shake shake, another skip on butter shake, shake shake,
Speaker 1: another scoop of popcorn just so it's layered, because when
Speaker 1: you just do that trickle down theory, you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't trickle down. Baby. It's just been saying just like yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can't do that with your own popcorn, like
Speaker 1: you you have to. There has to be like some technique,
Speaker 1: maybe ask for a separate cup of like oh yeah, no.
Speaker 1: What you do is you get that cardboard tray so
Speaker 1: if they won't do it for you, then you dump
Speaker 1: half your popcorn out and that cardboard tray butter it.
Speaker 1: Then put your science. I've got methods, baby, technique. I'll
Speaker 1: bring my own. I'll bring my own tray just in
Speaker 1: case they don't have one for me, just to make
Speaker 1: sure I can even the butter the popcorn. And then
Speaker 1: her majesty refuses to eat it because she's like, this
Speaker 1: is disgusting. Yeah. Now, I I haven't buttered popcorn, uh,
Speaker 1: since I've been married, because my wife would absolutely not
Speaker 1: do it because I value my man. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Caitlin? Forgive me if I've said
Speaker 1: this one before, I can't remember, but I think the
Speaker 1: movie pop Star Never Stopped Stopping is very underrated, and
Speaker 1: that a lot of people haven't seen it, and no
Speaker 1: one's talking about it, even though it's a cinematic masterpiece. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I this is fun. I think maybe you. I feel
Speaker 1: like someone has said as maybe it was you, But
Speaker 1: I'm I'm down to really keep talking about this because
Speaker 1: Connor for real, Yeah, isn't that his name? Dude? I
Speaker 1: fucking live. There's like the the little cameos that they
Speaker 1: get in it are like my favorite. I think there
Speaker 1: Riza is in it, isn't he not sure? And there's
Speaker 1: like a moment I have funk, I had to remember
Speaker 1: who it is. I think it was like resists one
Speaker 1: of them. He's just man like I see him do
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff, like one time he just ate the
Speaker 1: blunt he didn't even smoke it. Yeah, it's great. It's
Speaker 1: a classic. And that's there are comedy movies that like
Speaker 1: go underrated for too long because comedy, like really great
Speaker 1: comedy movies will get bad reviews because film critics don't
Speaker 1: get into film criticism because they have a good sense
Speaker 1: of humor. So like there's you know, Dumb and Dumber
Speaker 1: was like a ten percent I'm rutting tomatoes when it
Speaker 1: came out, and like, you know, a lot of comedy greuer.
Speaker 1: I still talked to a lot of people who think
Speaker 1: mcgrouper that are like, yeah, I saw the sketch. The
Speaker 1: sketch was stupid, and I personally ride for mc grouper
Speaker 1: pretty hard. I think that's a underrated comedy masterpiece. But yeah,
Speaker 1: pop Star is great. Do you like it? I'm trying to, Yeah,
Speaker 1: why didn't it get like the shine it deserved? It?
Speaker 1: Were we just like at peak Lonely Island or something,
Speaker 1: and people were just like, I'm I look, I love Samberg,
Speaker 1: but like he's he's in a viral video every other
Speaker 1: fucking day, So maybe is that what did it? Because
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to because I remember I watched it
Speaker 1: after after it came out, because a few people are like, yo,
Speaker 1: you should watch it. It's yeah, me too. I saw
Speaker 1: it at home. I didn't see it in writers. I
Speaker 1: think it kind of got mgrouberised in the sense that
Speaker 1: like people thought it was just like a single justin
Speaker 1: bieber joke type thing, and they were like, all right,
Speaker 1: like whatever, that's in the same way that like the
Speaker 1: mcgrouber sketches, just like the same kind of boring, stale
Speaker 1: joke over and over again. But the movie is like
Speaker 1: so dense with like great jokes, pop star like people.
Speaker 1: People should definitely check it out and like, don't don't
Speaker 1: assume it's just like the one joke from the trailer
Speaker 1: or like from the movie poster. What whatever the movie
Speaker 1: poster made you think? Did you like Walk Hard Uh?
Speaker 1: I was not a fan of that movie. I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I remember when it came out. I saw when it
Speaker 1: came out, and I was like, man, And then a
Speaker 1: lot of people after the fact we're like, man, I'm
Speaker 1: like a walk Mars the greatest thing I've ever seen. Really,
Speaker 1: it has some funny moment, it's not it's funny because
Speaker 1: like a lot of the jokes that stick with me
Speaker 1: are not the ones that are like about the music industry,
Speaker 1: you know, Like it's I I feel like it's more
Speaker 1: of a satire of like a series of biopics than
Speaker 1: it is like a satire of like although that I
Speaker 1: I like very specific parts of it a lot, but
Speaker 1: right there, but it's not like something that I got
Speaker 1: back to and rewatch. But yeah, that's one that has
Speaker 1: like people who really ride for it too. Dude, there's
Speaker 1: I'm reading this story that there were people who like,
Speaker 1: there were like a lot of music that the Lonely
Speaker 1: Island guys passed on for the film. Like so they
Speaker 1: passed on beats from the Rizza and Jay Dilla, and
Speaker 1: now I'm really upset. But also this listen to this
Speaker 1: because this is and I'm sorry Kitlin to get to
Speaker 1: wu tang with it. But they said with the rizzon
Speaker 1: said quote, we once got sent beats from Rizzo, which
Speaker 1: was crazy. Andy told us d J Sway. They were
Speaker 1: super like experimental, were very like a tonal and weird,
Speaker 1: and we were like, we don't know how to make
Speaker 1: this funny, but it's dope, which sounds very much like
Speaker 1: Latter Day Rizza. And then they said, um, they also
Speaker 1: sent us a Dilla beat and we're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we can't ruin it Dilla beat. People hate us if
Speaker 1: we do that, Okay, so they were responsible with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the soundtrack from the movie is like I
Speaker 1: just listened to it for fun. Sometimes it's like pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean because of like Style Boys tracks and well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, yeah exactly, it's basically just all
Speaker 1: the music from the movie. But I'm like, these are
Speaker 1: my favorite musicians. These fake movie characters made some really
Speaker 1: great music. Have you guys watched Girls five Eva? I
Speaker 1: saw the first episode. There's some really songs that too.
Speaker 1: Oh I haven't. Yeah, I haven't seen the art. What's
Speaker 1: there one it? Anyway, I just remember watching it because
Speaker 1: everyone was saying it's so good, and yeah, I've enjoyed
Speaker 1: what I've seen so far. Yeah it's solid. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we will be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and let's talk pandemic. The story continues
Speaker 1: to evolve in a depressing direction. The delta variant is
Speaker 1: has basically taken over the US. It's now making up
Speaker 1: of new cases in the US. Anecdotally, healthcare workers say
Speaker 1: they're just seeing young people and were shaped than the
Speaker 1: original form of the virus. I've heard anecdotally a lot
Speaker 1: of stories of young people who are very susceptible to
Speaker 1: the sort of bullshit that I I had associated with,
Speaker 1: you know, baby boomers, like the I heard somebody died
Speaker 1: from that. I heard that I fell off. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's getting scary out there. It's getting worse and worse.
Speaker 1: And as you know, as much as the media and
Speaker 1: like communicip has been like, all right, y'all, let's reopen.
Speaker 1: We're back. Maybe the pandemic is over. Yeah, And maybe
Speaker 1: if more than you know, fifty percent of the country
Speaker 1: was vaccinated, we could we could be in a bit
Speaker 1: of a more jovial mood. But like you look at
Speaker 1: places again, like in Missouri, there there are certain hospitals
Speaker 1: there that are seeing the same number of patients in
Speaker 1: the last five weeks than they did in the last
Speaker 1: five months. Because the delta variant is just spreading so rapidly,
Speaker 1: and we're looking at like sub fifty vaccination rates some
Speaker 1: places below. And meanwhile the rest of the world, the
Speaker 1: delta variant is just shredding through countries as they wonder
Speaker 1: when vaccines will arrive. And I think this is like
Speaker 1: a very urgent thing because you know, we're in a
Speaker 1: really fucking just sad state over in the US where
Speaker 1: we have just a button an over a place of
Speaker 1: vaccine ability, of of of vaccine availability, while you have
Speaker 1: a ton of people who are just like, no, I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm good. And then you look at the rates and
Speaker 1: you say, as Rachel Lensky at the CDC says, this
Speaker 1: is a pandemic of the unvaccinated right now, the people
Speaker 1: who are not vaccinated, who are the ones that are
Speaker 1: making up the bulk of the hospitalizations and the deaths,
Speaker 1: and on top of it, like the rest of the
Speaker 1: world is experiencing the same things without the same protections
Speaker 1: that we have, you know, essentially now, I guess we
Speaker 1: call the luxury of vaccines. It's just a very it's
Speaker 1: like it's and so I think it's more like one
Speaker 1: of these things. The more I read, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not just about that you could be vaccinated and safe.
Speaker 1: There's a much larger picture here to really consider that
Speaker 1: with these other places and just pockets of unvaccinated people.
Speaker 1: This is again where a lot of experts are worried,
Speaker 1: like this is how we might find like really truly
Speaker 1: like breakthrough new strains that can through the immunity that
Speaker 1: we're even afforded through vaccination. So it's just it's it's
Speaker 1: still a story. It still needs to be a story
Speaker 1: as much as like I think, you know, you see
Speaker 1: you see reporting kind of go up and down, but
Speaker 1: it's hopefully this is well encourage many people to get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: There's that New York Times map that shows like it
Speaker 1: broken down by region by state, and it's really really
Speaker 1: hitting the red states like it's almost Yeah, it's bad,
Speaker 1: Like just how how much it's concentrated. And yeah, and
Speaker 1: we we've talked about this the last few weeks Fox
Speaker 1: News and like Sean Hannity, people are like, no, I
Speaker 1: believe in the vaccine, y'all, Like I believe in the science.
Speaker 1: It will save your life. They're saying these things now
Speaker 1: and a lot of us are like, what is it
Speaker 1: like legal trouble, like what the friends going on being resible? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with having a heart at all.
Speaker 1: And when you look at these like these maps and
Speaker 1: how it's breaking down like the most partisan way. And
Speaker 1: now you have Mitch McConnell has been out here really
Speaker 1: forcefully trying to be like, please get vaccinated. I mean
Speaker 1: he hasn't been a vaccine skeptic. I'll give him that, um,
Speaker 1: But when he was recently asked to like, okay, well
Speaker 1: you're telling people to get the vaccine, is like, but
Speaker 1: what about the right wing media sphere. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of people spreading all kinds of misinformation. McConnell's to quote
Speaker 1: ignore all of these other voices that are giving demonstrably
Speaker 1: bad advice and please get the vaccine, and we're even
Speaker 1: having really like Steve Scalise from Louisiana, he's he kept,
Speaker 1: you know, saying like I'm not gonna get it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get it. But then the race star going
Speaker 1: up in Louisiana, he said he just got his vaccination,
Speaker 1: and he's saying and he's urging other people too as well,
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, sort of cynically, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I wonder if they just they're worried that their base
Speaker 1: is gonna get hollowed out because they've been preaching this
Speaker 1: anti vax you know, gospel, and I think that maybe
Speaker 1: what it is. I think they're looking at the mid
Speaker 1: term arms and how the virus is spreading in very
Speaker 1: specific places, and they're like, this isn't a good that's
Speaker 1: a lot of ammo for someone running against me to use,
Speaker 1: or also just dealing with a base who has been
Speaker 1: affected by the illness or has had family members affected
Speaker 1: by it. So it's, yeah, I'm curious to know what
Speaker 1: exactly they're looking at, but there there's there's definitely like
Speaker 1: an element of strategy to this shift. You also know
Speaker 1: that it's bad for Republicans, like the thing that they
Speaker 1: pay attention to the stock market took a little dip. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that happened too, So you know, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's like this sort of Darwin Award adjacent
Speaker 1: like sort of strategy that they've had because they were
Speaker 1: so invested in like owning the left by like saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're not going to get back to the we're contrarian
Speaker 1: that it's rapidly turning into a cell phone and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just I really again, like every other person who's
Speaker 1: talking about this, just saying, please tell everyone to get
Speaker 1: vaccinated if you can, truly. I don't know how how
Speaker 1: else to say it, but it's frightening. And I've people
Speaker 1: in my family too. I'm urging to do the right thing.
Speaker 1: But Hubris is a hell of a drug, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that. Yeah. I was talking to somebody yesterday, still unvaccinated,
Speaker 1: but they said they're going to Walgreens today, So oh
Speaker 1: really yeah, yeah, so you're you're saying I should get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: I'm pinding I've been vaccinated for years. It's one of
Speaker 1: the first test cases. Yeah, I got that fake idea
Speaker 1: that said, I was sixty, so I can jump the line.
Speaker 1: So one thing that people are pointing to as like
Speaker 1: a possible, you know, solution to the fix we find
Speaker 1: ourselves to specifically in the US, and that is already
Speaker 1: being used in other nations around the world, are vaccine passports.
Speaker 1: You know, people are currently using the honor system, which
Speaker 1: we saw exactly not not all those loans that people
Speaker 1: were blind for that all I know is uh, Kevin
Speaker 1: sorbo or one of the one of the handful of
Speaker 1: right wing celebrities, just talked about how he went into
Speaker 1: a Starbucks without a mask on and then he shouted
Speaker 1: at them. So this is bes I'm walked out. So like,
Speaker 1: you know, those sorts of people are who are like
Speaker 1: politically opposed to the vaccine, They're they're not gonna if
Speaker 1: there's not an active mask mandate, they're not gonna come
Speaker 1: in and be like, and I'm unvaccinated because they're not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask regardless. So, right the ven diagram of
Speaker 1: people who are anti vaxers and but like pro wearing
Speaker 1: masks is two circles that are very very far apart
Speaker 1: from you. Just they're not They do not overlap anywhere
Speaker 1: so predictably the majority of people, which seems to be
Speaker 1: like the way that we always see these things breaking down.
Speaker 1: What whether it's like Trump approval rating or you know,
Speaker 1: just generally uh support for universal healthcare. The majority of
Speaker 1: people over six support vaccine passports. Only percent actually opposed
Speaker 1: the idea, but it's just not getting any support from
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. The jen Zaki is that what's her name?
Speaker 1: Jen Zaki Saki at a press conference said the government
Speaker 1: is not now nor will we be supporting a system
Speaker 1: that requires Americans to carry a credential. Like it's just like,
Speaker 1: why the fuck not. Yeah, it's because they're just doing
Speaker 1: it for they're afraid of the conservative media. Yeah there
Speaker 1: and the other politicians. We're just gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at what they're trying to do now. And it's
Speaker 1: like the fucking science of it. Stop worrying about the
Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce and like the dumb headlines from you know,
Speaker 1: news Max, the um. So it breaks down pretty predictably
Speaker 1: along partisan lines. More than three quarters of the people
Speaker 1: who support the vaccine passport I have already been vaccinated,
Speaker 1: and it's seventy percent of Democrats support a vaccine passport.
Speaker 1: Less than fifty percent of Republicans support a vaccine passport.
Speaker 1: But so Fox News, which has been railing against the
Speaker 1: idea of vaccine passports and saying like, what's next, are
Speaker 1: coming for your guns? I don't know how those two
Speaker 1: things are related, but that's they're trying to thaw. So
Speaker 1: Fox News, it's been revealed, has a clear pass which
Speaker 1: sounds like a credit card for scientologist but is actually
Speaker 1: an in house vaccine passport that they're using to basically
Speaker 1: make it so that they can continue to produce the
Speaker 1: bullshit where they talk about how we shouldn't have vaccine passports.
Speaker 1: So they're using a vaccine passport to produce the Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson Show. And yeah, I love that hypocrisy for them.
Speaker 1: I know, isn't that doesn't that just all of this
Speaker 1: is making too much sense? And then they could still
Speaker 1: so they're like legal hurdles for the Biden administration to
Speaker 1: just be like, okay today, starting today, you need a
Speaker 1: vaccine passport. But there's all sorts of things they could
Speaker 1: do to like incentivize vaccine requirements for states, they're just
Speaker 1: not doing it. And so there's there's a history to
Speaker 1: this vaccine mandates have been very successful in the US
Speaker 1: and globally even in politically difficult situations, because they make
Speaker 1: becoming vaccinated the default as opposed to right now, being
Speaker 1: unvaccinated is the easy choice. Right now, it's like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'll just be unvaccinated and I won't wear a mask,
Speaker 1: Like what who gives a ship? Like that's one less
Speaker 1: step for me to take. But so our writer JM
Speaker 1: like dug into this and back to the eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: Like end of eighteen hundreds, turn of the twentieth century,
Speaker 1: health officials and governments routinely required proof of smallpox inoculation
Speaker 1: because I was killing tons of people, and so officials
Speaker 1: would go door to door demanding to see either a
Speaker 1: vaccination certificate, and so many people were forging vaccination certificates
Speaker 1: at that time because there was a thriving anti vax
Speaker 1: community even back then, that they had to start going
Speaker 1: by either a you either they would look at your
Speaker 1: face to see that if you had pock marks on
Speaker 1: your face, that was evidence you had had the disease already,
Speaker 1: or the other evidence that they would accept is a
Speaker 1: scar from where the vaccine was administered, because the vaccine
Speaker 1: back then involved scoring the skin with a knife and
Speaker 1: dabbing the wound with a live virus obtained from using
Speaker 1: cow pox swres on the underside of calves. So that
Speaker 1: which one you want, Folks, It's kind of Walgreens for
Speaker 1: a tiny shot seem like less of a less of
Speaker 1: a big deal, and then it would like basically burn
Speaker 1: a holy yeah. I mean people from certain parts of
Speaker 1: the country are like older people they got those scars.
Speaker 1: I mean my mom and like all my you know,
Speaker 1: Japanese older family, like they all have those those Like
Speaker 1: I was always a kid, I was like, what the
Speaker 1: heck is that? Why do you and everyone have that
Speaker 1: little arm scars? Like those were called shots back in
Speaker 1: the day. Just the effort to forge a document and
Speaker 1: you'd rather do that than to go get vaccinated. It's like,
Speaker 1: just just go get vaccinated. Yeah, it's just and I
Speaker 1: think this is what the other really just fucked up
Speaker 1: part is too, is that like, for there are certain
Speaker 1: people who have just ingested so much misinformation on social
Speaker 1: media that they truly believe that it's there that this
Speaker 1: gamble that they're making by not being vaccinated is the
Speaker 1: safer choice, like truly because they've just been completely head
Speaker 1: fucked with all this nonsense that they ingest every day.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, like it just shows how large
Speaker 1: this problem is to like we have we have Fox
Speaker 1: who's being disingenuous about their vaccination policies, are just being
Speaker 1: secretive about the fact that they very much consider vaccination
Speaker 1: important to social media companies who are just like, oh yeah, whatever, man,
Speaker 1: like let this stuff cook. It will actively keep melting
Speaker 1: the world down. But so a lot of anti vaccination
Speaker 1: activists created that they were like circulating names of doctors
Speaker 1: who had signed a piece of paper saying that a
Speaker 1: child was medically unfit for vaccination. They were forging vaccination certificates.
Speaker 1: Forgery became such a problem that the vaccine scar basically
Speaker 1: became the go to vaccine passport. But in nineteen o four,
Speaker 1: The New York Times wrote that the city's ability to
Speaker 1: keep the disease in check was in part defeated by
Speaker 1: public apathy and by the reluctance to prioritize the conspicuous
Speaker 1: advance edge of the immunity conferred by vaccination. Um. Wow,
Speaker 1: so it's like this has been an issue, Like I
Speaker 1: think the we we've been here, like we're not getting
Speaker 1: any dumber. It's just we're not getting any smarter. We're
Speaker 1: the same idiots we've always been. Um. And the way
Speaker 1: that we beat that in the past was basically what
Speaker 1: that expert was saying about making not getting the vaccine
Speaker 1: the difficult thing to do. It was, like the big
Speaker 1: thing that they point to is that you had to
Speaker 1: have your kid vaccinated to go to public school, and
Speaker 1: so like that became just people are just like fine,
Speaker 1: fucking vaccinated, like it basically so they can I can
Speaker 1: get him out of my hair. And that's eventually by
Speaker 1: the like mid twentieth century, Like even though at first
Speaker 1: it seemed like a ship, we're never going to get
Speaker 1: rid of this, people are too apathetic. By like putting
Speaker 1: these social norms in place, they basically got to a
Speaker 1: point where smallpox was eradicated in the entire US population
Speaker 1: by mid twentieth century. Well, they're even people that were
Speaker 1: rather than getting the vacs, because you're saying that the
Speaker 1: scar became like the way that they would just be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it, that they would just do their own
Speaker 1: scar by burning themselves with acid. Yeah, they would forge
Speaker 1: the scar. I mean, but it's so I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that at that point, it's clearly they are scared
Speaker 1: of the concept, like the idea of like you put
Speaker 1: the sickness in me, Like that's not I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: let you do that, like that it's just too much
Speaker 1: to get their mind around. And the idea of the
Speaker 1: government injecting you with something is just too too much
Speaker 1: to to get their mind around, which you know, is
Speaker 1: where where we're still at um. But there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people too are just saying like we need these
Speaker 1: vaccine passports because the only way we can really figure
Speaker 1: out like how we can properly socially distance or who
Speaker 1: who's at risk and who isn't is to know these
Speaker 1: things is to be able to say like, hi, welcome
Speaker 1: to this place. Are you not vacs? Okay, so then
Speaker 1: let's we we we we have to take more consideration
Speaker 1: whether to let you in or to provide more distance
Speaker 1: or whatever. That just saying like, all right, man, if
Speaker 1: you're vaccinated, we believe you do what you gotta do,
Speaker 1: and we're not going to force kids to wear masks
Speaker 1: in school, even though many, like every medical expert is
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no no, Like when schools reopen
Speaker 1: the fall, like kids need to be wearing masks. But
Speaker 1: the reason that that's happening is because they're not doing
Speaker 1: they're not treating this vaccine the same as they do
Speaker 1: other vaccines, you know, like other other vaccines. They're like,
Speaker 1: you have to show your child's vaccine history in order
Speaker 1: for them to like enroll in school and like come
Speaker 1: to classes. But for some reason like this isn't I
Speaker 1: mean for now, it's because the kids aren't eligible for it,
Speaker 1: but eventually, like kids will be eligible for this, and
Speaker 1: as far as the Biden administration is indicating, it's not
Speaker 1: a thing that they're willing to they're willing to do
Speaker 1: like put it in that same camp. And it's just
Speaker 1: like I don't understand why it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I mean, it's just like it's all these
Speaker 1: really lame considerations and like triangulations that you know, governments do,
Speaker 1: and in response to like what to do, the safest
Speaker 1: thing is just we're just like inert. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: just sort of like I don't want to say anything
Speaker 1: because then they'll get mad, but then people will die,
Speaker 1: and then they'll get mad, and then I'll do something
Speaker 1: reactionary and maybe that will help things after the fact,
Speaker 1: and you'd hate to think that with the way things
Speaker 1: are going in and the insistence on not being like
Speaker 1: the insistence on not being vaccinated leading to some mutation
Speaker 1: that could put children at risk that you know, and
Speaker 1: like that's what's so like, if you're gonna game out
Speaker 1: all this stuff about the vaccine and like what you
Speaker 1: think it's gonna do, Like, take some time to game
Speaker 1: out what you think mutations will do with this virus.
Speaker 1: Because if you have the imagination I think there's microchips
Speaker 1: in the vaccine, you damn well better have the imagination
Speaker 1: for some zombie apocalypse ship if you're really going to
Speaker 1: go out there, I mean not to say that's what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but apply if you're gonna really, if you're
Speaker 1: that strategic about it, things aren't just gonna stay one
Speaker 1: way because I think a lot of people are just
Speaker 1: giving themselves comfort and being like it's just a cold.
Speaker 1: It's a cold that harms the really weak, and that's it,
Speaker 1: and it's not the case by vaccine information tattooed on me.
Speaker 1: That's how you go. I see people rock the pin,
Speaker 1: though I see older people rocking that pin. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen the vaccine pin. Oh yeah, I've seen it like
Speaker 1: a few people who have been like wearing it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, look at you where they're like like
Speaker 1: thank you, like I'm vaccinated, I'm being safe kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and that they see it at the grocery store and stuff.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, look at you letting people know here,
Speaker 1: don't be don't be alarmed. I'm not trying to put
Speaker 1: your risk. It's like, do we do we tax the
Speaker 1: people who refuse to get back to like what incentive?
Speaker 1: Like could you imagine the word tax? They're gonna be
Speaker 1: like now we're talking about tax nations. This is crazy, man.
Speaker 1: I can't believe where we're headed, Like this is just
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap. I feel like that would truly
Speaker 1: be the headline that like bright bart and you know,
Speaker 1: Fox is waiting for some kind of vax tax. But
Speaker 1: I think it has to be something like that, like
Speaker 1: some incentive or like punishment that you would suffer if
Speaker 1: you refuse to get vaccinated, Like I don't it's to that.
Speaker 1: It's that it's the problem is we're accommodating anti vax
Speaker 1: people who are the largest threat vector um in terms
Speaker 1: of like containing the virus, that we're accommodating this, rather
Speaker 1: than saying, oh, no, we can't accommodate this, because this
Speaker 1: is dangerous behavior and if we're trying to actually move
Speaker 1: past that, we have to be able to go okay,
Speaker 1: if this group isn't vaccinated, then we have to really
Speaker 1: make sure that this community. We gotta keep our eye
Speaker 1: on there because that's where the virus is gonna you know,
Speaker 1: shred through and and possibly make other kinds of chump.
Speaker 1: So it's it's not over, folks, it's not over. I'd boggling. Right.
Speaker 1: Part would write headlines about that, but they, unfortunately will
Speaker 1: be too occupied writing headlines about how tom Brady stabbed
Speaker 1: Trump in the back. Yes, it's all the right wing
Speaker 1: media lost Tom Brady. You it wasn't it? Like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like yeah, thanks for the super Bowl win. He's like
Speaker 1: although fort pc of the country doesn't believe we won
Speaker 1: something like that, and it was like, alright, even though
Speaker 1: you were wearing your big Trump or whatever. He knows
Speaker 1: how to work a room, yeah he does. He also
Speaker 1: apparently had a torn and mcl the whole season, which
Speaker 1: is yeah, they just found it. He just was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just had surgery. What's Yeah, it's anything that usually
Speaker 1: ends people's season, and he just like played through it.
Speaker 1: He's not very mobile quarterback to begin with. But it's
Speaker 1: still pretty pretty wild. I think we're learning that there
Speaker 1: are X men among us, Tom Brady and Janissant Takopo
Speaker 1: Janice is leg. We saw bend the wrong way and
Speaker 1: then he went on to put up fifty in the finals.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take another quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and just quick check in the Bootleg fire.
Speaker 1: The smoke from the fire up in Oregon made it
Speaker 1: hazy the other day in New York City. There you
Speaker 1: can look at the time lapse footage of the gray
Speaker 1: smoke leaving the western US and just kind of traveling
Speaker 1: across the country and covering big parts of the Northeast.
Speaker 1: And in related news, Jeff Bezos was like, hey, thanks
Speaker 1: Amazon customers and Amazon workers. You paid for this, so
Speaker 1: you as our nation is being blanketed in uh climate
Speaker 1: change smoke. He's like, hey, thanks everybody, Thanks everybody. Here's
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars for two different people. There you
Speaker 1: go I'm worth two hundred five billion. That's less than
Speaker 1: a percent. Yeah, but let's talk about Havana syndrome. You know,
Speaker 1: this is a pet topic of mine because I think
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. The CIA now is emitting that like
Speaker 1: more than half of the people who are suffering from
Speaker 1: these symptoms are CIA agents or undercover workers. So for
Speaker 1: people who aren't up on the story, I guess first
Speaker 1: time listeners of this show. It's basically a series of
Speaker 1: symptoms that usually coincides with the victim hearing loud sounds.
Speaker 1: Some of them come down with like permanent neurological damage.
Speaker 1: They feel dizziness, and the explanations range from a microwave
Speaker 1: weapon that uses technology we don't understand and don't know
Speaker 1: about yet to a psychosomatic reaction that is causing like
Speaker 1: a physical response, which is I don't know. I'm somewhere
Speaker 1: between the two. But I find the psychosomatic thing to
Speaker 1: be underrated in the way the mainstream media is reporting it,
Speaker 1: just because I think they, you know, people, I think
Speaker 1: that a psychosomatic thing is like someone actively creating something
Speaker 1: with their mind, and it can totally be physical. Like
Speaker 1: my mass psychogenic illnesses have caused people to feel compelled
Speaker 1: to dance until they dropped dead from exhaustion. Like that
Speaker 1: was an entire like mass illness that happened in England.
Speaker 1: UH have caused people to fall ill and begin like
Speaker 1: throwing up. They've caused people to UH have the symptoms
Speaker 1: and swelling associated with pregnancy, to develop and heal from
Speaker 1: scaly skin conditions. You know, it changes how you sleep,
Speaker 1: even though like that has nothing to do with your
Speaker 1: conscious minds. So anyways, the the unconscious mind is like
Speaker 1: I think, the most powerful and mysterious force that we
Speaker 1: like just don't understand, and I think it's somehow tied
Speaker 1: into this. But I say all this because now we
Speaker 1: are putting the c I a UH in particular, they're
Speaker 1: putting the guy who was in charge of the Hunt
Speaker 1: Forbidden Ludden in charge of figuring out what's going on here,
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's worrisome. Like the CIA just
Speaker 1: like like that, the Hunt Forbid Ludden was specifically a project,
Speaker 1: I guess you would call it that used like torture
Speaker 1: and like tactics that have been proven not to work.
Speaker 1: And they're now giving this agency which seems to always
Speaker 1: feel entitled to use like carpet blunt violence and destruction
Speaker 1: and like you know, inserting themselves into people's lives and
Speaker 1: like damaging their sanity to get to the bottom of
Speaker 1: a thing that is this like massive mysterious like gray
Speaker 1: area that I mean there there's just no like once
Speaker 1: they start, which I guess they've been in charge of
Speaker 1: this for a while, but I just feel like once
Speaker 1: the CIA gets involved in trying to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of a problem, like the truth around that problem
Speaker 1: becomes yeah, yeah, it just becomes unknowable because the CIA
Speaker 1: creates their own realities. They're uh, you know, very good
Speaker 1: at manipulating the truth and the facts, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: the the JFK assassination is a good example, like by
Speaker 1: inserting themselves into the investigation into who killed JFK, like
Speaker 1: they are even though like the CIA was very plausibly
Speaker 1: connected to it, like they have rendered that mystery like
Speaker 1: officially impossible to find the truth of. There's effectively like
Speaker 1: no truth to find at this point because there's just
Speaker 1: so much complexity and confusion and like false realities. But
Speaker 1: Jack did or did they or did they not get
Speaker 1: bin Laden? Yeah? So I can only mean, can you
Speaker 1: imagine what the you know, if we ever get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this, like what that's gonna look like
Speaker 1: or you know what it won't look like. I don't
Speaker 1: know that. That's what sort of really interesting. It's like
Speaker 1: now arrived at this level where they're saying, we have
Speaker 1: to figure this out, and yeah, who knows, it could
Speaker 1: be murky because there's nothing like people who you know
Speaker 1: could possibly be implicated having a hand in investigating themselves.
Speaker 1: It's like when you've watched the cops investigate themselves or
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan be appointed to the January six commission, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you might not be the best person to look at
Speaker 1: the UM. It's also like just kind of tangentially um.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the explanations for the tic TACs
Speaker 1: and like some of the U U A P stuff
Speaker 1: is people saying, well, this would motivate people to spend
Speaker 1: more money on military industrial complex. Like so this is
Speaker 1: another case where being open to a hypothetical weapon or
Speaker 1: technology that we can't explain with physics is being taken
Speaker 1: suddenly being taken seriously by the military. Uh, and so
Speaker 1: you know that it could be part of an overall
Speaker 1: like new method on the side of the worst people
Speaker 1: in the world to be like, yeah, UFOs are real, bro,
Speaker 1: you better give us a lot of money to make
Speaker 1: our own or else we're fucked. Similar here, like yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: we they have like sound beams and ships, so like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you better give us a lot of money because yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: so we'll see or we won't see. I guess let's
Speaker 1: talk the Olympics. They start tomorrow. What are you guys
Speaker 1: doing doing like an opening ceremony party or what's going on?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just getting together with a bunch of strangers
Speaker 1: in a in a an enclosed space indoors and we're
Speaker 1: just gonna sing out loud and just cheer and hoot
Speaker 1: and holler. I mean, you know what. There's some of
Speaker 1: the events have already started, like in softball and soccer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the women's soccer team lost. Yeah we got um, So
Speaker 1: we've got um. It's it's happening, even though we heard
Speaker 1: maybe hey and eleventh hour cancelation as possible, but you
Speaker 1: know it's recently the head of the World Health Organization
Speaker 1: was being really positive, like the comments were like, you know,
Speaker 1: like this is a great moment for the for the
Speaker 1: world to come together and offer something we all need.
Speaker 1: Which is hope. When earlier and like in like like
Speaker 1: hours before that, he's like, uh, COVID is absolute danger
Speaker 1: to the game's absolutely like had something to consider. And
Speaker 1: then you're like, wait, what's going on? And it turns
Speaker 1: out that the w h O in the IOC, they've
Speaker 1: signed numerous agreements to work together since nineteen so you
Speaker 1: know who better to have say, don't all good COVID
Speaker 1: what no, no, no, let's let's let's watch the sprinting
Speaker 1: events and things like that, so you know, they've been united,
Speaker 1: the IOC and the World Health Organization. While like many
Speaker 1: medical professionals in Japan are like, do not do this.
Speaker 1: The only people that are gonna be fucked over are
Speaker 1: the people of this country. While the IOC can just
Speaker 1: make money and you know, fulfill their ad obligations, that's
Speaker 1: all that's gonna happen here. It's it's not going to
Speaker 1: work because when you look at that, there's only a
Speaker 1: third of medical workers in Japan are vaccinated, so you
Speaker 1: have some just ridiculous wave come out over there. The
Speaker 1: medical workers are also at risk. That's why everyone's like
Speaker 1: this is such a bad idea. Um, And also I
Speaker 1: just want to mention in in the Rio Olympics when
Speaker 1: Zeka was like the huge health concern, the World Health
Speaker 1: Organization was like, yeah, yeah, you got your You're good,
Speaker 1: You're good, don't work door and dorn It's yeah, I
Speaker 1: was gonna make the hilarious joke that that guy deserves
Speaker 1: a gold medal in doing a one eight and he's
Speaker 1: going to get the gold and he'll get it all
Speaker 1: and maybe he'll get one for you know, the person
Speaker 1: who shelved his conscious to help the further the aims
Speaker 1: of the Io favorite Olympic sport. Yeah your Yeah, where
Speaker 1: are those Olympics? You know, for the real nuanced things
Speaker 1: that people are able to do mentally, Because I feel
Speaker 1: like there's a few people that would mental gymnastics. Where's
Speaker 1: that event? Who's the summon biles of mental gymnastics? Are
Speaker 1: they billionaires? It would have to be like a big
Speaker 1: d democrat, right, because they have to like be no,
Speaker 1: no better, you have to know better, no better, but
Speaker 1: then like not do the thing, but then act like
Speaker 1: you're doing the thing in public and like act like
Speaker 1: you understand and maybe actually understand, but then like actually
Speaker 1: behind closed doors, don't really understand. Right, I don't know
Speaker 1: it's interesting, yes, like yang, let us know who who
Speaker 1: are the greatest mental gym gymnastics and mental olympians of
Speaker 1: our day in terms of shelving your conscience or just
Speaker 1: the mental gymnastics floor exercise. There's another story too. I
Speaker 1: just want to point out like this and this isn't
Speaker 1: COVID related, but again just you know, athletes are still
Speaker 1: testing positive as they arrived. That hasn't stopped. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that's still the thing. Um. But this one, there's these
Speaker 1: six Polish swimmers that were told they couldn't compete because
Speaker 1: of like an administrative air that their countries, like Swimming
Speaker 1: Federation made. So twenty three swimmers left Poland like with
Speaker 1: like a like a hero send off and like we're
Speaker 1: going to Tokyo, thank you so much. We're cheering. They
Speaker 1: get to the Olympic village and they're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we only got seventeen spots. Man, I don't know what
Speaker 1: what do you can do with these other six people?
Speaker 1: And they were looking at like what what what do
Speaker 1: you mean? Like they we we qualified and we were
Speaker 1: on the we're part of the team. Um. And as
Speaker 1: the reporting goes is quote all six were originally named
Speaker 1: to the Polish lineup as relay only swimmers, and Olympic
Speaker 1: qualification standards specified that each nation may enter relay only
Speaker 1: athletes provided they have at least achieved the B standard
Speaker 1: for the corresponding stroke and distance of the relays. Just
Speaker 1: sort of more you know, the mechanics of how you qualify.
Speaker 1: But Poland reportedly filled more than it's allowed spots and
Speaker 1: had to decide who should leave. So they got there
Speaker 1: and so on, they had to pick people to go
Speaker 1: back to Poland. And I'm look, as much as I'm
Speaker 1: critical of the Olympics, like I feel for these athletes
Speaker 1: because this is truly their life's work, Like, this is
Speaker 1: what they do, This is what they do with their time,
Speaker 1: and for like the past five years, to have all
Speaker 1: this build up, get to Tokyo and then be like, okay,
Speaker 1: so six were sold out, So sorry, you're you're sold out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I know, this never happens. I'm never after Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and especially when you're all that ship's fucked up because
Speaker 1: someone else fucked up. Oh yeah, it's frustrating. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of a lot of bs abounds.
Speaker 1: Do we think this is the story is also getting
Speaker 1: so many headlines because it's like Poland and Polish jokes
Speaker 1: like about Like, I don't know. I mean, luckily, the
Speaker 1: most of the news sites that I read didn't did
Speaker 1: not include terrible stereotypes of Polish American immigrants, uh in
Speaker 1: doing jokes. But I don't know, I think you're just
Speaker 1: in general, like it's just I think it's more part
Speaker 1: of a thing of Olympic misery stories. Yeah, that seems
Speaker 1: to be the thing that I'm seeing a lot of,
Speaker 1: Like whether it's that paralympian who's like mother couldn't go,
Speaker 1: who needed like her assistance to navigate the Paralympics um
Speaker 1: or you know, the shicery stories and things like that.
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of things that you know, from
Speaker 1: natural hair swim caps that were banned, like everything's like, dude,
Speaker 1: this on the fucking suck, what the fuck? And they've
Speaker 1: always sucked, but this one, especially, the ads are going
Speaker 1: to be so wild because the the ads just assumed
Speaker 1: that we're all fucking pumped for these Olympics, and they
Speaker 1: you know, they've wrapped production on those a long time ago,
Speaker 1: so that'll imagine the tone deaf ads that were made
Speaker 1: in like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty Olympics, there's like it's
Speaker 1: just like the surrealist advertising and I can't fucking handle it.
Speaker 1: And even shorts gate too. Yeah. Now there's another short story,
Speaker 1: so uh kind of and follow up to yesterday's story
Speaker 1: about a track paralympian who was criticized for wearing her
Speaker 1: shorts too short by British like track and field official.
Speaker 1: The Norway women handball team was fined for having shorts
Speaker 1: that were too long because they didn't like show off enough.
Speaker 1: They were like, you need to have bikini bottoms or
Speaker 1: no deal, gotta be bial what the f in the
Speaker 1: beach volleyball they're gonna be like, oh, sorry, bros, you
Speaker 1: gotta have your dicks out. Well of course not of course,
Speaker 1: like men are allowed to have it down like to
Speaker 1: a few ins. I know. I just like if if
Speaker 1: they're being like, sorry, we made some deals with some
Speaker 1: like sort of adult content creators and we need this
Speaker 1: to be as pornographic as possible. Sorry, fellas, time to
Speaker 1: hang brain, Like what do you too? I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the picture like what the funk is the problem with
Speaker 1: what they're wearing? Like, and also that it's so absurd
Speaker 1: of like you must pay us real world money because
Speaker 1: fabric too long on pants. And also the women who
Speaker 1: are in the things, it's just it's yeah, it's fun
Speaker 1: like it again doesn't seem practical to be wearing. Wait
Speaker 1: are we talking about this photo? Like the ones wearing
Speaker 1: the bluish short like and then those are daisy dukes,
Speaker 1: they're wearing daisy duke length like volleyball. They're just wearing
Speaker 1: like volleyball tites basically like you see volleyball players wear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and those are considered too big and too long. And
Speaker 1: then the team that's like in the clothes that are
Speaker 1: required are wearing things that like would be like that,
Speaker 1: they're just uh like string bikini bottom. A song, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a song that looks like one players covering their
Speaker 1: butt or something maybe that's like that, Like one player
Speaker 1: is literally has her hands behind her back and is
Speaker 1: like either doing the pensive you know, um just watch
Speaker 1: this here or covering your butt, which I would imagine,
Speaker 1: like I can't imagine. Uh, And granted, like my butt,
Speaker 1: I don't have a my my butt would blind people
Speaker 1: with its whiteness, but like I like how but yeah,
Speaker 1: how could you people know if that would actually be
Speaker 1: a good strategy, But how could you not be self conscious?
Speaker 1: Like I I agree they need to start making men
Speaker 1: do this, like hatriarchy is a hell of a thing. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just had to like have a thong bikini bottom
Speaker 1: on yet during The guidelines for the International Handball Federation
Speaker 1: are that male players can wear shorts that extend to
Speaker 1: ten centimeters above the kneecap. Female athletes must wear bikini
Speaker 1: bottoms that are in accordance with the enclosed graph. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's is absurd. Also, those are just I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that's comfortable to play a sport in, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like this would like ride up your butt
Speaker 1: crack and just like no, I would always be like
Speaker 1: picking a wedgie instead of like focusing on You're like Caitlyn, man,
Speaker 1: you missed the game winning spike in that game. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I had to dig the uh super bottoms out of
Speaker 1: my asshole. It's the raw kind of dig in to
Speaker 1: dig out that ball and not to be digging in
Speaker 1: your ass because we make everybody worth thongs. There's an
Speaker 1: article of clothing that is by that is a wedge
Speaker 1: by design, Like, what the fuck are you guys? Doing
Speaker 1: to these poor people. So again, I hope this is
Speaker 1: the end. I hope these all of these stories add
Speaker 1: up to people being like these things suck. Like the
Speaker 1: way we're doing the Olympics fucking sucks. We need to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to do it that's more inclusive,
Speaker 1: less just so cynical in terms of it's like money
Speaker 1: making aims and purely just focus on providing a platform
Speaker 1: of venue for the world's best athletes to compete consistently
Speaker 1: and you know, hand out these awards. I get that,
Speaker 1: But the traveling circus, the Simpsons monorail pitch of the Olympics,
Speaker 1: I'm done with that. Yea God, who has it next?
Speaker 1: Poor is getting it in Brisbane? Okay? Uh? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're talking about that right now, aren't we next? Isn't
Speaker 1: isn't Los Angeles next? Yeah? Wow? Or we get we

Speaker 1: because there's something about Look, I'm not saying, there's something
Speaker 1: wonderful when you discover, like someone in your party has
Speaker 1: a tremendous voice. But then there are other times when,
Speaker 1: like you go to a karaoke place and everyone's killing
Speaker 1: it and you're like funk man, like I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: my jokey version of Montel Williams. This is how we
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know how it's gonna go over
Speaker 1: and yoh yeah, I remember I had one of the
Speaker 1: most surprising moments this like friend of ours we went
Speaker 1: to do karaoke and she sang like this fucking Beatles
Speaker 1: song so beautifully that like it was weird. Was like
Speaker 1: one of those moments like even like the annoying bros
Speaker 1: at the karaoke bar, like turned from the bar and
Speaker 1: we're like a single tear came down and we're like,
Speaker 1: what happened? We didn't know you had a voice like that,
Speaker 1: And like I used to sing a lot, but not
Speaker 1: these days, you know, like, oh my god, what song
Speaker 1: was it? I don't know because I don't know the
Speaker 1: Beatles catalog very well, but it's just something. It was
Speaker 1: something apparently where they were saying like I had never
Speaker 1: heard it sung so soulfully. It was a Yellow Submarine probably.
Speaker 1: I think it was eleanor Rigby. Actually just the dumbest
Speaker 1: songs they have, like some of the dumbest songs that
Speaker 1: are just basically kids songs. I think it was I'm
Speaker 1: the wal Vers actually Cuckoo cut the way she hit
Speaker 1: that Cuckoo coutchu was. They were like, oh God, just
Speaker 1: like we were the egg men all along. Let's see
Speaker 1: some tweets I've been enjoying, h Caitlyn, here's one for you.
Speaker 1: So Robin Lopez, twin brother of Brook Lopez, who so
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez was playing in the NBA Finals, winning the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals last night and his twin brother, as like
Speaker 1: it was entering the fourth quarter, tweeted out a screen
Speaker 1: cap of Paddington and tweeted these Paddington movies are so
Speaker 1: good hashtag movie night, and so many people like, bro,
Speaker 1: you're brother just winning the finals. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I did not realize the context of that. People like
Speaker 1: tagged me in that because they're just like, oh, Caitlyn,
Speaker 1: it's it's a Paddington thing. And then I but that
Speaker 1: context is so funny. And then like with with a
Speaker 1: minute to go, he in the game, he tweeted out,
Speaker 1: you can't watch the first and not watch the sequel
Speaker 1: and tweeted out, like the Paddington to screen cap, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not being genius. Yeah think yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: They're they're very funny there. They're part of me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: A part of me likes the idea though that it's
Speaker 1: like truly like this, Like I can't believe he's enough finals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will not watch him. There was a lot of
Speaker 1: great brother lee love with Jana's hitting up his brother
Speaker 1: who's in COVID protocol after they won, and they were
Speaker 1: singing that uh something for the night, uh song I
Speaker 1: don't know that bats like not while wild for the Night.
Speaker 1: The it's like a pop smoke song. It's really good, uh,
Speaker 1: and he was doing such a bad job singing it.
Speaker 1: But let me let me just to the it's I
Speaker 1: think it's called for the Night. Yeah, pop smoke for
Speaker 1: the Night with Little Baby, but they were they were
Speaker 1: singing it so badly, but like while they were celebrating,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. I'm just very very
Speaker 1: happy that the NBA Finals were as entertaining as they were.
Speaker 1: Let's see another there's somebody who's uh doing letterbox reviews
Speaker 1: with threatening our auras, and this one they greencapped one
Speaker 1: That's a Quiet Place Part two and the review is
Speaker 1: why do they want to live this badly? Uh? Which
Speaker 1: I actually had that thought during a during a Quiet
Speaker 1: Place one, It's like, well, why don't why do you
Speaker 1: all want to live so bad. This is definitely not
Speaker 1: a great place to be. I think that about any
Speaker 1: like post apocalyptic like dystopian movies. I'm like, your quality
Speaker 1: of life has to be so terrible, is it really
Speaker 1: worth it? Yeah? And then Miami Bay tweeted, if your
Speaker 1: poop isn't clear, you need to drink more water, which
Speaker 1: is just good health advice. That's wild that all the
Speaker 1: brothers all have championship rings or the three of them
Speaker 1: half rings. Now, yeah, they were selling like a bootleg
Speaker 1: CDs in in Athens as kids, and now they're a
