Speaker 1: La la Jack I try. I'm a podcaster. I'm a
Speaker 1: die high Miles with the lyrics. Y'all lyrics all right,
Speaker 1: pop Daddy one of my favorite lyricists of all time,
Speaker 1: just a great, one of the greats to ever do it.
Speaker 1: All right, Jackie's We're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners a few of the things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're talking about rent relief. We're talking about not Charles Branson,
Speaker 1: Richard Branson going to space. And it was it was
Speaker 1: perfectly timed. The headlines were perfectly timed for the post
Speaker 1: apocalyptic movie that we all find ourselves in because at
Speaker 1: the same time, America was nearing the high temperature of
Speaker 1: all time, which you know, don't say we can't, we
Speaker 1: can't do anything. We set our mind to death value
Speaker 1: was within a few degrees fahrenheit. We'll talk about see path,
Speaker 1: we will talk about the racist football backlash to the
Speaker 1: euro Cup loss in England, whether friend zone is the
Speaker 1: best zone, all of that plenty more. But first, Jackies Wood,
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are? From the search history? All right, all right,
Speaker 1: I always act surprised, even though I've been on the
Speaker 1: show many times, and I act surprised. Something from my
Speaker 1: search history is I was looking at this place called
Speaker 1: Club Provada. Now, if you don't know what Club provided is,
Speaker 1: I know there are some people in the Oregon sight
Speaker 1: gang who might know what this is. But it's a
Speaker 1: sex club right now. I didn't think these things existed.
Speaker 1: I didn't think sex clubs existed. I thought they were
Speaker 1: just things of fantasy, things that you hear about on television.
Speaker 1: But I decided to run up the old Google machine
Speaker 1: and and plug it in and log it in and
Speaker 1: look up club provided. And it's very much a thing.
Speaker 1: And there are sex clubs in almost every city and state.
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you live in a boring as place,
Speaker 1: but if you live in a place that like has
Speaker 1: a population that's a little bit bigger. There are such
Speaker 1: clubs and everywhere. I'm not saying I'm gonna go, but
Speaker 1: I am saying I'm intrigued now, So you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good information to have, you know, if if you,
Speaker 1: if you and your significant other decide you want to
Speaker 1: spice some shi it up and you wanna you want
Speaker 1: to go to a club, uh for the certain spice
Speaker 1: that you're looking for that is available to you. And
Speaker 1: if you did not know, now you do because they
Speaker 1: are real. They are real. I thought it was fake.
Speaker 1: What's the sex club? Though? It's a place where you
Speaker 1: fuck you like, it's like a swinger's place. So like you,
Speaker 1: you go and couples go and they had they make love.
Speaker 1: You don't say the effort on the daily's like guys,
Speaker 1: they make love and then and then they or and
Speaker 1: then you could tap in and stuff, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: to your comfort. No, no, it's no yes' yes, everything
Speaker 1: like that. But then like you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: play just do single ladies and couples. No, man, sorry, man,
Speaker 1: sorry if you're single. Man. But it's just a place
Speaker 1: where you go to hook up have sex with your
Speaker 1: partner and or other people as well. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's basically the ship you see in movies that don't
Speaker 1: seem real, but apparently it is real. Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: think we would know more about it. That used to
Speaker 1: just be the Wendy's parking lot for me. But right,
Speaker 1: oh you hooked up in They's parking lot before too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. What you do is you you walk
Speaker 1: outside with three uh what is it? The frosties? You
Speaker 1: spill three frosties on your feet outside the wendis what what?
Speaker 1: What color? What color frost the vanilla or vanilla? Vanilla vanilla?
Speaker 1: And if you're down for the swirld, you got both okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let him know, like I'm open. See what I do
Speaker 1: is I'll go get it. I'd be like, I go
Speaker 1: in and give me your hottest meat. And so when
Speaker 1: I bring it back to the are and the windows
Speaker 1: fall up and somebody not gonna be like, it's the meat,
Speaker 1: it's too hot, which is true, but they think on
Speaker 1: me and something else, you know. So that's what the
Speaker 1: wind is sparking a lot of but it always ends
Speaker 1: with the same thing, which is, sir, this is a
Speaker 1: windy Yeah, that's exactly what it ends with. And you
Speaker 1: know every time I don't care, I be like, you're right.
Speaker 1: I saw on TikTok that this clip of this woman
Speaker 1: who was like, I guess she was saying she was
Speaker 1: a swinger about how like if you're in a supermarket
Speaker 1: and you have your pineapple upside down in your cart,
Speaker 1: that's letting people know that you're with it. But again,
Speaker 1: this is like TikTok. I mean, this is what it's
Speaker 1: so funny about TikTok. It's like full of videos like
Speaker 1: this be like this is how this, you know, subculture
Speaker 1: gets down, and I don't know if that's true. So
Speaker 1: Swinger crew, let us know this like an elementary rumor.
Speaker 1: I would spread an elementary Yeah. You know, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you hear it, you hear you heard turning your pineapple
Speaker 1: upside down down the phone. Every town has a park
Speaker 1: where like I hear that if you park up there
Speaker 1: and like one of your tail lights is out, you
Speaker 1: know what that means about your tail that light it up?
Speaker 1: You gotta like that tail up if it's out. I
Speaker 1: grew up with HBO Flex Bragg and they had a
Speaker 1: show called Real Sex, Yeah, which I would I would
Speaker 1: always tune into, you know, after the parents had gone
Speaker 1: to bed, and I would see sex clubs and I
Speaker 1: would be disillusioned from any idea that they are what
Speaker 1: what we see in movies. They're usually they usually involve
Speaker 1: a balding man and a with a ponytail. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you ain't going you ain't. I mean, listen, I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's uh you know, listen. Beauties in the eye that behold. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Let me go on hand
Speaker 1: and say these things. Pre cancelation, beauties and the eye
Speaker 1: to behold or what you love is what you love?
Speaker 1: You know that looks don't matters what's so on the inside.
Speaker 1: But you know we ain't going it ain't raresh you
Speaker 1: diaries in there. It's gonna be some you ain't attracted
Speaker 1: to in there. So you know, like it just know
Speaker 1: that probably going in you know that, yeah, you might
Speaker 1: be looking for restue diaries. It might be pay less
Speaker 1: less you diaries. And what is something you think is overrated? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: you know this isn't. I don't think this is uh,
Speaker 1: you know, shocking to hear, but the car buying process
Speaker 1: is extremely overrated. I just bought another car. I gave
Speaker 1: my mom my car. She needed a new one, and
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, mon, I'm gonna go in
Speaker 1: and pay off my car, give it to you. You
Speaker 1: can either have it or you can trade it in,
Speaker 1: do whatever you want with it. Give you a little
Speaker 1: extra dough to buy a new car, which left me
Speaker 1: with no car, which you know, coming from Chicago, I'm
Speaker 1: like whatever, But living in l A, you need a
Speaker 1: car out here, especially when uber's a four hundred dollars
Speaker 1: to take a right So I bought a new car.
Speaker 1: The whole process is so fucked up, and right now,
Speaker 1: right now, people are everybody financing dealerships, nobody's willing to
Speaker 1: negotiate because everybody's like, there's a car shortage. We can't
Speaker 1: get new cars, you know, post pandemic. We need to
Speaker 1: make all our money back. I swear to god, there's
Speaker 1: been an article twice this week or the week I
Speaker 1: was buying a car that said there are used cars
Speaker 1: on a lot right now that are more expensive than
Speaker 1: when they were new on the showroom floor to three
Speaker 1: years ago. And I'm like, this is whack, man, this
Speaker 1: is whack. And if there was ever a time to
Speaker 1: kill somebody is if you're making me pay more for
Speaker 1: a used car than that ship was brand new three
Speaker 1: years ago, those are grounds for hands man, It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And that's but you know, that's the thing
Speaker 1: you gotta watched out for when you work at a
Speaker 1: lot to used cars where they make the real money,
Speaker 1: that's where you get they it is profit margin as
Speaker 1: a salesperson, so you know, I get makes my eyes
Speaker 1: water as someone who's sell cars to be like, man,
Speaker 1: that's what the user going. Oh, ship man used to
Speaker 1: sell cars. I should have hit you up for the tips, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at nowadays, what I used to do
Speaker 1: is this because I used to work in radio. I
Speaker 1: would ask because radio and you know, car dealerships go
Speaker 1: hand in hand. So there was always somebody who worked
Speaker 1: at the radio station and I'm like, yeah, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get a Masda. You know, nobody at Galloping Masda.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, go in there and let them know
Speaker 1: you want. You used to work at Power one oh six,
Speaker 1: and I did that. But also the other side of
Speaker 1: it was like, I just go straight to it and
Speaker 1: be like, how close can you get me to the
Speaker 1: invoice price of this car? Because the invoice is what
Speaker 1: y'all are paying for it, and that's how I know
Speaker 1: how much you're gonna be making off it in terms
Speaker 1: of the sale. I'm not. Please don't treat me like
Speaker 1: a mark. Please treat me like somebody who needs a car. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went. I went in there, as you know, saying
Speaker 1: the what's the out the door price? That's that was
Speaker 1: my Uh, that was my They know I'm here meaning business.
Speaker 1: Uh it didn't work, but they knew I mean business
Speaker 1: on the business. Let's std p on that. Just what's
Speaker 1: you just you just google that, didn't you? You just google?
Speaker 1: Say that? All right? Cool man? Let's let me write
Speaker 1: a number down for you and then actually, you wait
Speaker 1: here and I'll go talk to your manager. How about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll come with you. Broad I need to walk, man,
Speaker 1: I want to It's ridiculous. What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: All right here it is? Everybody, My social media is underrated.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, here's the thing. Most people know. We
Speaker 1: are in this industry sometimes social media as our tool
Speaker 1: as well. I don't like Instagram, I don't love Twitter,
Speaker 1: but we use it right and I'll be giving the jokes.
Speaker 1: Um you know. Ever since I did the ship with MTV,
Speaker 1: they requested, like, nigga, can you start using an Instagram?
Speaker 1: So I bet you on my Instagram more too. So listen,
Speaker 1: I'm using more So. Here's what I'm saying. I've tried
Speaker 1: to tempt the Zeit gang with some new picks, you know,
Speaker 1: release the flesh. If I get to ten K didn't work.
Speaker 1: Nobody want to see to be I get it. I
Speaker 1: get it. You're not interested in seeing the cheeks. I
Speaker 1: got another proposition for you. So, before the pandemic, I
Speaker 1: was in the process of starting my own Patreon, and
Speaker 1: then the pandemic happened. And like the Patreon I was doing,
Speaker 1: which required people to come over to the crib, I
Speaker 1: stopped and I didn't want to do all the zoom
Speaker 1: ship And now I'm too busy to take it back up.
Speaker 1: But I have like five episodes of unreleased, very fun.
Speaker 1: Some of them are improv I got a couple of
Speaker 1: watching longs that if we get to ten thousand on
Speaker 1: Twitter and get close to it on Instagram, I will
Speaker 1: release them for free for all of you to listen to.
Speaker 1: My favorite episode I did was I did a watch
Speaker 1: a long of Police Academy with the homie Jamie Loftus.
Speaker 1: It's the first time we've ever done a podcast together,
Speaker 1: and just sitting in the ether, nobody has heard it.
Speaker 1: Nobody has heard the Jamie Jackies hook up. We're not
Speaker 1: hook up, but the connection on the podcast air waves
Speaker 1: the podcast hook ups. So if y'all want this, gonna
Speaker 1: head hit the follow I know y'all love the Loftist.
Speaker 1: I know you we all love Loftist. Hit the follow
Speaker 1: button because the Instagram and the Twitter is underrated, so
Speaker 1: we need to get it overrated. So when I come
Speaker 1: back next time, I tell all y'all to stop following me.
Speaker 1: Because I'm tired of y'all niggas. M hmm. That's what
Speaker 1: I want. That's that's what we're talking about. And for
Speaker 1: the people who do wanna, who are interested in the
Speaker 1: in the nuds, what about them? Oh yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: get me to ten thousand oh one and then an
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to release these news man, I'm sitting
Speaker 1: on I'm tired of looking out myself in my pocket
Speaker 1: and burned the home man. They Yeah, I need to
Speaker 1: get these out into the world. Is that police Academy
Speaker 1: one that it was the first police academy that we watched.
Speaker 1: We did a watch along to it, and we we
Speaker 1: recorded it. We recorded our watch along. It was very fun,
Speaker 1: very silly. I think that's the only police Academy I
Speaker 1: never saw because it's really are And that was an
Speaker 1: age when I could not watch rated our movies. It
Speaker 1: was when I was in the Police Academy. There is
Speaker 1: a moment I didn't know it was rated are. There
Speaker 1: is a moment and the watch along as you're here
Speaker 1: with me and Jamie, who also had never seen it.
Speaker 1: We had never seen it. When Tati's came on the
Speaker 1: screen and we both like audibly reacted like, oh boom,
Speaker 1: we didn't know, we didn't know. So you want to
Speaker 1: hear that, you know what to do? You know, you
Speaker 1: want to hear me and Jamie both react to seeing Bress.
Speaker 1: It's like you couldn't have a comedy in the eighties
Speaker 1: without just some form of nipple. Yeah, display it was
Speaker 1: the most was random. It's like that through a locker
Speaker 1: room or like there you go, there's your ligatory pair
Speaker 1: of breast. Yeah, it was the most unnecessary breast reveal
Speaker 1: that I've seen in a long ast time. There was
Speaker 1: no need but just to say, we gotta get some
Speaker 1: boobs in here, and that's exactly what they did. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess Police Academy one and two our rated ar
Speaker 1: and those are the two that I've never seen. Got it?
Speaker 1: Got it? Well? Jack? Look, I I know I put
Speaker 1: myself out there as an Academy head, but I have
Speaker 1: all those I support the Police Academy shirts that you
Speaker 1: scratched off Academy on all of them. Now, uh repect
Speaker 1: you know those sent the wrong message. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: never saw one and two. Well, hey, now you maybe
Speaker 1: get a chance, and if you do, want to watch
Speaker 1: it with me and Jamie being a commentary to your
Speaker 1: view and experience. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. M hm. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and let's talk rent relief because the world is you know,
Speaker 1: here and there, opening back up, closing back, opening back up.
Speaker 1: And Congress, you know, they passed those little COVID recovery
Speaker 1: bills to help keep people from being evicted. And then
Speaker 1: I feel like we didn't hear much after after that,
Speaker 1: Like we didn't hear about people taking advantage of it
Speaker 1: as much because I'm assuming landlords didn't want people to
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. So where where are we with
Speaker 1: all that? But yeah, I mean it's it's I encourage
Speaker 1: everybody to look at, you know, the state in which
Speaker 1: they live, especially you know, for those in the United States.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's about forty six billion dollars on the
Speaker 1: table for rent and utilities aid, and the CDC moratorium
Speaker 1: on evictions is set to explore at the end of July.
Speaker 1: But many states have tried, some successfully, others not so
Speaker 1: to distribute the money to those hit hardest by the
Speaker 1: pandemic recession. And you know, it's not always you know,
Speaker 1: like places like Virginia in Texas, they've started pretty strong
Speaker 1: in terms of distributing these funds. But you know, big
Speaker 1: shout out to California in this very narrow respect, because
Speaker 1: we have probably one of the strongest programs in terms
Speaker 1: of like distribution and protection of tenants and against For
Speaker 1: those that qualify, you can have up to one of
Speaker 1: your rent and utilities paid all the way back to
Speaker 1: April of but it takes a little bit of research.
Speaker 1: We'll have a link in the footnotes for California residents
Speaker 1: to see how to get those resources. But even in
Speaker 1: terms of landlords who maybe want to evict people from
Speaker 1: their buildings because a new Whole Foods popped up a
Speaker 1: couple of blocks away and they know they can gouge
Speaker 1: a new set of tenants or transplants with higher rent rates,
Speaker 1: well not so fast, because even if you are a
Speaker 1: rental owner, you have to first show that you even
Speaker 1: applied for these funds before you can even forward with
Speaker 1: any kind of eviction procedures. So it's right now, you know,
Speaker 1: every state again if they're moving at their own paces.
Speaker 1: So I just want to say the money is there,
Speaker 1: and for those who absolutely need to have been hit hardest,
Speaker 1: please check your local resources to get your hands on
Speaker 1: these things because the funds are there even more than
Speaker 1: check like, let people know, like people know, let your
Speaker 1: homies know, let people know who's struggling, like and also
Speaker 1: that that that's the funny thing is struggling is not
Speaker 1: a set in stone their thing. You know. Struggling to
Speaker 1: me is struggling to somebody else. That's different. So even
Speaker 1: if you don't think somebody is struggling and they maybe
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And my definition of struggling
Speaker 1: is if you live in paycheck to paycheck and you
Speaker 1: ain't got no extra money after you pay bills, and
Speaker 1: if you miss a check, then you know, then you fucked.
Speaker 1: Then you struggling. You're struggling, and you deserve to get help.
Speaker 1: And it's so wild. I hate that. I love that
Speaker 1: we're doing this. California is dope for doing it, and
Speaker 1: all the stuf sort of doing it are dope for
Speaker 1: doing it. And I wish it was more well known.
Speaker 1: I wish it was being promoted more, and I wish
Speaker 1: more states than people were jumping on this. But it's
Speaker 1: things like this that, just while it makes me happy,
Speaker 1: also pisses me off because it's just like we could
Speaker 1: and this is not hyperbole to say this literally fix
Speaker 1: everything like we could. We could literally fix everything and
Speaker 1: and start and not even start a new but start
Speaker 1: at a more level playing field for so many people
Speaker 1: and like build up from there. And the fact that
Speaker 1: we keep so many people in holes and then ship
Speaker 1: like a fucking global pandemic happens and there's an opportunity
Speaker 1: to get out of the hole, but still not everybody knows.
Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous and it's so upsetting. And even when
Speaker 1: you look at the amount of life that was lost,
Speaker 1: the amount of jobs that were laws us to wages
Speaker 1: that were lost, we're still finding ourselves like in the
Speaker 1: same place where it's kind of like, Okay, how do
Speaker 1: we solve the problem of doing things the old way,
Speaker 1: which is like giving rather than being like, let's just
Speaker 1: forgive all of this and let's figure out a way
Speaker 1: to you know, subsidize like all of the rent that
Speaker 1: was out there without people having to jump through hoops
Speaker 1: or you know, create some semblance of like guaranteed income.
Speaker 1: Like looking at just how much how disruptive this was
Speaker 1: and how fragile the system is that the fact that
Speaker 1: we're just again everything has been going back to normal.
Speaker 1: We're seeing you know, elements of that all around. But yeah, again,
Speaker 1: please check your local states and municipalities because you know,
Speaker 1: Congress has been there. You know, they're they're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out if they can pass more bills or whatever
Speaker 1: they can do to get these funds out quicker. But
Speaker 1: it truly is at this point it's important for everybody
Speaker 1: to to do the research and let everybody know, just
Speaker 1: let them that there is there, there are these funds
Speaker 1: out there. So the renters can apply directly for this
Speaker 1: as well as the landlords. It's not a thing where
Speaker 1: like you have to count on your landlord going and
Speaker 1: getting the money from the government. Well you could, but
Speaker 1: that the thing is, if you're the first before and
Speaker 1: renter can even ask, or before the renter can even
Speaker 1: begin to evict someone, they have to apply, right And
Speaker 1: this is everywhere or just California. This is in California specifically.
Speaker 1: I think other states may have SIMI you know, every
Speaker 1: state is sort of set up slightly differently, but at
Speaker 1: least for California specifically, you know, they're prioritizing people who
Speaker 1: are at immediate risk of eviction first. You know, again,
Speaker 1: please look, check check it out, because every county has
Speaker 1: different programs that are hopefully, you know, trying to keep
Speaker 1: people in their places. That whole foods hypothetical that you
Speaker 1: provided just struck me is way too plausible for to
Speaker 1: like trust a landlord not to evict somebody if they
Speaker 1: have the chance to, just because if they just like
Speaker 1: landlord and like capitalist mentality, like I feel like they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, well if that and couldn't pay rent
Speaker 1: when this happened, then that makes them like less attractive
Speaker 1: to me as like a landlord. So I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and get them out one way or another. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and and for the I mean, you know, it's so
Speaker 1: funny because we when we think of not being able
Speaker 1: to pay rent, obviously the immediate thought is losing your place.
Speaker 1: And then we kind of and I don't say this
Speaker 1: is an extreme like this is you know, extreme like
Speaker 1: a bad thing, but we jumped to the extreme of
Speaker 1: homelessness after that, right, But that's not that that wouldn't
Speaker 1: be the case for a lot of people. Uh, some
Speaker 1: people would be able to maybe go live with a friend,
Speaker 1: or go live with family, or maybe go to a
Speaker 1: cheaper option. Who knows, but what we don't think about
Speaker 1: is how defaulting nor rent and getting evicted fox your
Speaker 1: credit up. Like that's something we don't think about and
Speaker 1: which is also another way to be fucked up in
Speaker 1: this system where you're just a number. Right, So it's
Speaker 1: not just like lose your rent, not being able to
Speaker 1: pay rent and lose your house, which is obviously the
Speaker 1: worst thing that can happen. There are people who are
Speaker 1: out there struggling to pay rent and at risk of
Speaker 1: you know, getting evicted and that going on their credit
Speaker 1: reports and things like that, which fux you up in
Speaker 1: a whole different set of ways, which could also lead
Speaker 1: to homelessness and things like that. Right, So there's so
Speaker 1: much in between that this could help so many people
Speaker 1: not go deeper into a hole of poverty and unworthiness
Speaker 1: in the eyes of our capitalist system that it's so
Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate too. Like we have it set up though,
Speaker 1: where it's not just the aid comes to you automatically.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, if you know and you're aware and
Speaker 1: know about this, here are the things that can help you.
Speaker 1: And it's a shame that we aren't more proactive to
Speaker 1: just say we already know, we're putting pause, like and
Speaker 1: we said this from the beginning of the lockdowns, Like
Speaker 1: we know we're putting everything on pause economically, so therefore,
Speaker 1: as the government who's mandating this, we will also talk
Speaker 1: to the people that are collecting your bills to let
Speaker 1: them know, hold the funk up, we're putting everything on pause.
Speaker 1: You can deal with us to figure out how this works,
Speaker 1: because we're our first priorities to make sure the people
Speaker 1: of this country are safe. But hey, maybe I'm living
Speaker 1: in a utopia. I mean, maybe you a y or
Speaker 1: every or with bezos or every other country. Basically like
Speaker 1: most other countries where you don't have to like earn
Speaker 1: your tax return, they just like send it to you
Speaker 1: if you pay too much in taxes. You don't have
Speaker 1: to like file a bunch of confusing paperwork and say
Speaker 1: same with us. It's like, why why give people all
Speaker 1: these hoops and difficulties to endure in order to like
Speaker 1: because more change will fall out your pocket if you
Speaker 1: jump in through all the hoops? All right, is it
Speaker 1: time for a break? Not yet? Not quite break? Not yet? Okay?
Speaker 1: If you lay so, jack, I think it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: we could take another break if you want to run okay,
Speaker 1: having trouble controlling the volume of your voice. Alright, real quick,
Speaker 1: before you blast off, let's go to space real quick.
Speaker 1: So Richard Branson went to space. First of all, I
Speaker 1: just want to say the headline on Drudge Report, right
Speaker 1: wing media outlet, but it's uh like the single page.
Speaker 1: It's just a single page with a bunch of links,
Speaker 1: and it still competes with like New York Times for
Speaker 1: page views. Like this, this is the most popular news
Speaker 1: single page in America. So I always like to check it.
Speaker 1: And on Sunday their headline was Richard Branson Branson blast
Speaker 1: off with the big headline. And then above that, Death
Speaker 1: Valley hits a hundred and thirty degrees fahrenheit, within four
Speaker 1: degrees of world record exclamation point, Palm Springs highest every
Speaker 1: tempt for month record temperature, strampower supply, USA, hottest June
Speaker 1: reservoirs drying up. In addition to this being just like
Speaker 1: a boring, pissing contest between rich guys, apparently Bezos is
Speaker 1: not impressed with Branson's He didn't Branson didn't break the
Speaker 1: carbon barrier, which is the internationally recognized barrier for space,
Speaker 1: and Bezos like that he didn't really on our springs.
Speaker 1: And I mean they didn't do a good job convincing
Speaker 1: me either with the video. They just they didn't even
Speaker 1: like put on astronaut suits. They were just like in
Speaker 1: some glasses floating around but commercial, baby, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, the ships and giggles. But uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just keep picturing Bezos and Branson like saying we is
Speaker 1: a fly into space and contributing nothing to the mission,
Speaker 1: and the actual astronauts having to like stop their complicated
Speaker 1: work to like look over and be like, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: are you're really doing it? Sir? This is great? Great
Speaker 1: worry Yeah, just over and over. Ba. It's like, this
Speaker 1: is so fucking sick right now. I'm so sick that
Speaker 1: thank Mr Bezos, we have to I'm checking the telemetry
Speaker 1: right now, so fucking sick. I can't believe it. That
Speaker 1: was approximately how eloquent Ransom was. He was like, that
Speaker 1: was I've done some ridiculous stuff, but dude, that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: That was like, that was his That's one small step
Speaker 1: from me, was dude. For donk Well, he told he
Speaker 1: was like for all the dreamers out there, He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm a grown man in a spaceship. Believe your dreams.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're in a plane that one up that
Speaker 1: didn't even bust the carb barrier full. Just relax and
Speaker 1: and do something with your money to help the earth
Speaker 1: that you left that is on fire as we speak.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that just that. Like I feel like a
Speaker 1: movie wouldn't put those headlines right next to each other
Speaker 1: during the like headline reel where when a movie is
Speaker 1: like trying to montage past an apocalypse to get to
Speaker 1: the post apocalypse. Like having them on the same headline
Speaker 1: is a lot like that's very on the nose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the ship that rich white people do is astounding to me,
Speaker 1: And and it's mostly because like let me, let me
Speaker 1: actually something Miles and Jack, like, could you imagine jay
Speaker 1: Z go into space? I could, you could? I can't
Speaker 1: imagine that Na go into space. I mean, look, he
Speaker 1: signed a deal with the NFL, but but going to space, no. No,
Speaker 1: in general, j Z grew report jay Z am about
Speaker 1: to go nowhere. That's gonna kill him like that easily
Speaker 1: and lose his day own money, right, I mean after
Speaker 1: seeing him on a wave runner with his vacation hair,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I've seen it always Jay, But yes,
Speaker 1: with this, with this, what you're putting down right now, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. I under and the point you're making for
Speaker 1: s like it's just you know, listen, we can talk
Speaker 1: about richness all we want, capitalism, billionaires, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: but somebody get Jackie's a billion dollars. First of all,
Speaker 1: I'll help some people. I'm still gonna keep up. I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna keep a lot of my money, but I'll
Speaker 1: help a lot of people. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm not doing. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to fucking space. I'm not doing ship that's gonna be
Speaker 1: close to killing my ass. One thing can go world.
Speaker 1: The most I'm doing is getting on the plane. That's
Speaker 1: the most thing. That's the most I'm doing. I'm not
Speaker 1: jumping out of a plane. I'm not going beyond the atmosphere.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand, Like, what makes you want to say, well,
Speaker 1: what have I done? I made? I made four hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Oh fuck, let's go to space. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't don't understand it. It's so wild to me and
Speaker 1: that we just left them. There's just like a fork
Speaker 1: in the road. I think for really wealthy people where
Speaker 1: it's like okay, like I've bought everything that can be owned,
Speaker 1: and then you're sort of like okay, and then you
Speaker 1: get to this fork in the road just like maybe
Speaker 1: help people like in a significant way or the other
Speaker 1: side of the road goes build spaceship, and they're like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: build spaceship, build spaceship. I'm also mad they go into
Speaker 1: space because I'm tired of I'm tired of like Twitter
Speaker 1: memes and ship about it. Like it's just I'm so
Speaker 1: tired of people. Oh well, they're sucking up the planet,
Speaker 1: so they're trying to leave it like okay, like it
Speaker 1: all it all spawns just boring, takes it boring. It's
Speaker 1: it's boring, but gotta I mean there they're doing it
Speaker 1: like you don't need a meme because the meme, like
Speaker 1: all the writing is there in this. Yeah. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a really good point about just like that some
Speaker 1: something about the confluence of like personality defects that makes
Speaker 1: you become a billionaire. It's going to space. It's wanting
Speaker 1: to like feel proud of there's like something bad person energy.
Speaker 1: Like I'm reading this book The Power Broker, about Robert
Speaker 1: Moses and the guy who like designed a lot of
Speaker 1: New York City and was like a racist piece of ship.
Speaker 1: And like early on he's like the super idealistic guy
Speaker 1: and he's publishing a paper that he worked on with
Speaker 1: like twenty people who adored him, who he was like
Speaker 1: a really good leader to. And then when it comes
Speaker 1: to like taking credit for the report, he just like
Speaker 1: takes all their names off of the report, like he's
Speaker 1: just there's just like these certain character defects that make
Speaker 1: you really successful in America and all they also happen
Speaker 1: to make you like a very shitty person. And I
Speaker 1: feel like going really wanting to go to space and
Speaker 1: like have people recognize you as guy in space is
Speaker 1: one of them. Like even with Trump, as you were
Speaker 1: pointing out, like even Trump like wanted to get involved
Speaker 1: as like a want to be billionaire. Absolutely, he's even
Speaker 1: when he was Trump took credit for the for them
Speaker 1: going to space, said I'd rather see Richard into playing
Speaker 1: today than me in the spaceship. Richard loves it and
Speaker 1: Bezos loves it, and a lot of rich guys love space. Okay,
Speaker 1: you will explain that someday, but they do love space.
Speaker 1: That's a real quote he said out his mouth. And
Speaker 1: then he goes on and say they love spending, they
Speaker 1: love sending rocket ships up, and I made it possible
Speaker 1: for them to do this. I actually said to my people,
Speaker 1: let the private sector do it. These guys want to
Speaker 1: come in with billions of dollars, Let's lease them facilities,
Speaker 1: because you know, you need certain facilities to send up rockets,
Speaker 1: and we have those facilities. We have the greatest facilities.
Speaker 1: Because of what I did, we're leading the pack in
Speaker 1: space by far. I'm so mad. I'm so mad at
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And let me tell you, let me tell
Speaker 1: you why. Hey, what's going on? You know? Try overall
Speaker 1: think the presidency is bad? Uh in general? I know
Speaker 1: I'm about to upset a bunch of people I here,
Speaker 1: but I think even if Lord Bernie Sanders got into
Speaker 1: the White House that niggas gonna do some bad ship
Speaker 1: because just the office of the presidency is bad. But
Speaker 1: some people would be better than others. Right. I'm so
Speaker 1: mad that Trump is on the lower spectrum, if not
Speaker 1: the bottom, of bad presidents, because if he wasn't, this
Speaker 1: nigga is the funniest motherfucker in the planet. That I've
Speaker 1: ever seen like that. She is pure comedy, and I
Speaker 1: can't enjoy his comedy because he's such a terrible fucking person.
Speaker 1: Like would you just read? Is a scripted television show.
Speaker 1: It's a scripted television show that we can enjoy because
Speaker 1: he's serious, like and not in a charming way, not
Speaker 1: in a fun way. He's serious and like all the
Speaker 1: crap that spews out of his mouth. But it's okay
Speaker 1: once he's dead. I feel like Trump movies are gonna
Speaker 1: be like an entire genre because it's gonna like he
Speaker 1: is Michael Scott, Like he's a Michael Scott level like
Speaker 1: character just in in reality. But the unfortunate, the fortunate
Speaker 1: reality is that the stakes are so high that those
Speaker 1: like translate to real world outcomes that are just deadly.
Speaker 1: That's they're just yeah, that can suck up the whole
Speaker 1: goddamn nation. But like the immediate instinct at the at
Speaker 1: the front of that quote to be like, look, I
Speaker 1: don't even want to go to space, like a like
Speaker 1: a kid who just lost a race and is like
Speaker 1: I didn't even want to win. Yeah, he's like, well
Speaker 1: better than than me. I would rather see Richard in
Speaker 1: the plane than me in the spaceship Richard loves its,
Speaker 1: loves it. But it's like that that was like, that's
Speaker 1: not anybody else's thought except billionaires. Billionaires are the ones
Speaker 1: who are like looking at him, being like, mother fucker.
Speaker 1: So space money space also Trump push your line, as
Speaker 1: are you know your as wouldn't go to space? You scary?
Speaker 1: As you know your as gold you wouldn't get near
Speaker 1: a rocket? That's not at all almost definite. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. How much time
Speaker 1: we got? Minutes and we're back. We're just too short, Jack,
Speaker 1: that was too short time, Bro. We were just talking
Speaker 1: about how much of it is a mental thing. This,
Speaker 1: This fucked me up. This. There's apparently a medication that
Speaker 1: surgeons and like fighter pilots take, I guess not fighter
Speaker 1: pilots since they can just piss in their suits or whatever,
Speaker 1: but surgeons take it that it basically stops the nerve
Speaker 1: receptors from signaling to your brain that you have to
Speaker 1: take a piss for like a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1: So which would I would assume that they would just
Speaker 1: piss themselves, but apparently, like that's not how it works.
Speaker 1: Like wait a minute, you thought a surgeon would just
Speaker 1: piss himself like while given surgery for our marathons. So
Speaker 1: like the idea that it's the feeling that makes you
Speaker 1: have to go to the bathroom and not like a
Speaker 1: physical capacity of your bladder was surprising to me. Like
Speaker 1: I I thought that like that just made your bladder
Speaker 1: was full. But like the fact that we like we're
Speaker 1: apparently going before we need to because of like some
Speaker 1: nerve thing that happens, and like it's just a blocking
Speaker 1: of the sensation that that changed that It really fucked
Speaker 1: me up. I just liked this like a Tim Robinson
Speaker 1: sketch where surgeons just pissing all over themselves mid procedure,
Speaker 1: like mid operation, and it's like he's getting into like
Speaker 1: the person's chest where I can stop. Now, I'm right
Speaker 1: at the heart. I'm right at the heart. We gotta go.
Speaker 1: We only have sex us before the heart explodes. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about sea pack real quick? Is this the
Speaker 1: like so sea pack happens every year basically, and like
Speaker 1: this happened like five times in the past twelve months.
Speaker 1: It feels like like unless they call them all relatively
Speaker 1: the same fucking thing, I feel like we keep hearing
Speaker 1: about sea packs happening, right, Like, is it like comic
Speaker 1: com where each city can have its own comic con
Speaker 1: Or is this like the annual sea pack and it
Speaker 1: just happens to be in Texas this year. I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I don't care. But during Seapack in Texas over
Speaker 1: the weekend, a lot of people were cheering the idea
Speaker 1: that they the crowd that they themselves were amongst, and
Speaker 1: you know constituting had a low vaccination, right m This
Speaker 1: is because they had a guy on one of the
Speaker 1: speaking panels named Alex Barrenson who is like a self
Speaker 1: proclaimed quote COVID contrarian. And this dude is so full
Speaker 1: of ship with his nonsense that The Atlantic ran a
Speaker 1: piece about him called the Pandemics Wrongest Man, and it's
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play this clip he went on Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson right around the time when that came out, and
Speaker 1: just to be like Cato Caross Like what a hit piece,
Speaker 1: just because you're asking questions and I just want to
Speaker 1: play like his how he owns this label of wrongest
Speaker 1: man despite his chest out terrible conspiracy theories. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna play this really interesting just sound bite about it,
Speaker 1: but they're attacking you because you dvate script. I just
Speaker 1: find that chilling. I do well, I'm very fortunate. And
Speaker 1: then I have a lot of people around the world,
Speaker 1: you know, actually around the world who emailed me so
Speaker 1: quietly and say you should read this study, you should
Speaker 1: look at what's happening in Hungary, or you should look
Speaker 1: at you know, this paper that just came out of France.
Speaker 1: And so I have people helping me. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I I do think. Look, even if I'm wrong about
Speaker 1: all this, and I'm not wrong about all of this,
Speaker 1: it's useful to have me, and it would be useful
Speaker 1: to have other journalists asking hard questions, you know, even
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, it's useful to have me. I have
Speaker 1: people sending me emails I will have you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so's he's relying on the fact that enough people agree
Speaker 1: with him that he's received several emails. Yeah, this sounds
Speaker 1: like you know, I used to get emails too. They
Speaker 1: were called chain emails from a O L from my
Speaker 1: aunt in the nineties that be like, don't be careful
Speaker 1: sitting on a theater seat. It could be a tainted
Speaker 1: needle to give you some kind of disease. It's like
Speaker 1: the same energy of yeah, getting emails, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that guy was speaking at this sepack event
Speaker 1: and yes he had this to say. He got the
Speaker 1: crowd cheering, like the fucking undertaker came out of a
Speaker 1: coffin or something not right here. Yeah, they were hoping
Speaker 1: the government was hoping that they could sort of sucker
Speaker 1: of the population into getting vaccinated. And it and and it,
Speaker 1: and it isn't happening. Right there, there's a younger people.
Speaker 1: What the fuck? Whoa is not happening. It's unbelievable how
Speaker 1: part is in this has become because meanwhile, in places
Speaker 1: like Missouri, they're experiencing severe spikes in cases because of
Speaker 1: the Delta variant, and it's unvaccinated people that are getting
Speaker 1: the worst of it. And it's like, especially like around Springfield, Missouri,
Speaker 1: the low the rates are low, somewhere as low as
Speaker 1: fourteen percent in terms of people being vaccinated. And it's
Speaker 1: just clear how this is happening. Again, Fauci said this
Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, is that you're we're
Speaker 1: starting to look at two America's There's there's parts of
Speaker 1: the country that are vaccinated and are dealing with you know,
Speaker 1: smaller surges and ones that aren't are just unvaccinated, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's just turn up city in terms of
Speaker 1: positivity rates. Yeah, it's very frustrating, and because like a
Speaker 1: lot of the people who aren't vaccinated aren't anti vax.
Speaker 1: That's the funny thing about it. There's anti vax people
Speaker 1: and we all knew that going in, Like, there are
Speaker 1: gonna be people who just aren't going to get the
Speaker 1: vaccination because they're anti vax for whatever reason. We can
Speaker 1: feel however we want to feel about those people. But
Speaker 1: let's take them out of the equation. A large majority
Speaker 1: of a certain political group who aren't getting vaccinated are
Speaker 1: doing it because their quote taking some type of stand
Speaker 1: against their owning the left, and it is so, it is,
Speaker 1: it is. I just don't understand, Like, I truly think
Speaker 1: that we have different fucking brain functions, because I like
Speaker 1: that just doesn't compute in my brain. I don't understand
Speaker 1: it at all. How you could be like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: the liberals want us to get vaccinated. I've never felt
Speaker 1: like this before, but now, all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know what they're putting in my body.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I never felt like this before, but
Speaker 1: I'm scared all these side effects. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: the funk out of here. In a way, it's like,
Speaker 1: how do you blame them? Though? Two, because when all
Speaker 1: you watch, when your entire media is people saying like
Speaker 1: you're gonna happen it's this, it's that we don't know. Plus,
Speaker 1: if you have an immune system and you're human, then
Speaker 1: you can you can protect yourself. You don't need this
Speaker 1: other stuff. It's just I think, Yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a combination of so many things, combination of misinformation and
Speaker 1: and and it's terrible to watch that at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, like that they're cheering on something that
Speaker 1: is actually, you know, potentially going to put them in
Speaker 1: severe risk. But I don't know, I mean, it feels
Speaker 1: like it's just a natural extension of how sort of
Speaker 1: you know, political ideologies are a lot of the times,
Speaker 1: like when you say, how can people vote against their owns,
Speaker 1: like interests, Well, they don't know what their interests are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and the thing that makes me mad is, you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's old bitch ass got the vaccine tuckle Carlson's
Speaker 1: old bitch ass got the vaccine. You know, Candice on
Speaker 1: No as she need ask got the vaccine as well.
Speaker 1: Like all these people got the vaccine who are telling now,
Speaker 1: don't you do it. It's your body, your choice, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, and they pretended like, oh, these months they
Speaker 1: got the fucking vaccine. And that's the part that pisces
Speaker 1: me off because all it would take is one of
Speaker 1: these misinformation floaters to just say it's okay, do it,
Speaker 1: and it would open up Pandora's box for so many
Speaker 1: fucking people who are not getting the shot and who
Speaker 1: are cheering at Sea Pac twelve about you know, not
Speaker 1: being vaccinated like it's something. Don't get me started. It's
Speaker 1: just and it's not like satisfying when people die, it's
Speaker 1: just sad. It's really really sad. There's a nurse, a
Speaker 1: registered nurse, Olivia Guddrey, who died from big complications over
Speaker 1: the weekend. She's a really pretty young lady from Lafayette, Louisiana,
Speaker 1: I believe, who had just like you know, come out
Speaker 1: and been asking questions and you know, following the lead
Speaker 1: of some of these anti actors, and she died of
Speaker 1: COVID and people are like, you know, trying to shame
Speaker 1: the people who she retweeted who had the antivac takes.
Speaker 1: Was just like, it's right, it's just a fucking mess.
Speaker 1: It's just a mess. It's not it's a mess. And
Speaker 1: and the part of it that makes it more of
Speaker 1: a mess is like, look, let me say this too,
Speaker 1: just to show that I have a full brain and
Speaker 1: I can think, you know, in multifacets. I understand if
Speaker 1: there are some people out there who legitimately have concerns
Speaker 1: about what they view as a vaccine that was created
Speaker 1: very quickly, right, and don't want to put things into
Speaker 1: their body because they're legitimately scared of what that could mean.
Speaker 1: And that's again low and from sation as far as
Speaker 1: not being educated properly, Like my mom works on an
Speaker 1: education team for vaccines, so like, you know, these vaccines
Speaker 1: weren't just created within the past year. They've been working
Speaker 1: on the coronavirus vaccine for a very long time, you know,
Speaker 1: so things like they don't know that. I understand there
Speaker 1: are people out there like that, right. I understand there
Speaker 1: are people out there who just don't have the information.
Speaker 1: I also understand there are people out there who are
Speaker 1: just scared of things like needles, you know, and don't
Speaker 1: want needles. Yeah, it was that's We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: that later. But here's the thing. Outside of all of
Speaker 1: those people like we, we just don't have a streamline
Speaker 1: way to get information out there because we make it
Speaker 1: so easy to put one thing online and millions can
Speaker 1: run with it, and you just don't know what is true,
Speaker 1: which is why it all stems back to just the
Speaker 1: information that's out there. And if you have people in
Speaker 1: your family like I do, who are you know, black
Speaker 1: people be scared of vaccines, I get it, who don't
Speaker 1: want to get vacts because they don't like my aunt
Speaker 1: is like I heard it just makes you sicker. And
Speaker 1: I'm just like, that's not where did you hear that?
Speaker 1: And don't tell me family, Yeah you didn't hear it,
Speaker 1: And don't tell me cousin Ronnie told you to do
Speaker 1: more just to get more shots later. Yeah, it's it's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but it's like I already had it, so I'm good,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's not a reason. Also, there are variants,
Speaker 1: please please, but yeah, I mean and I think that's
Speaker 1: what's makes this this situation even more uniquely fucked up,
Speaker 1: is because there are many roads to arrive at a
Speaker 1: place where you are denying yourself some kind of scientific
Speaker 1: intervention that could protect you. But yeah, it just seems
Speaker 1: like at this rate it's going to continue. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how you know what it's going to take unless
Speaker 1: it's enough people to realize, Oh, a lot of my
Speaker 1: friends that are unvaccinated are getting really sick and the
Speaker 1: people who are vaccinated are not. Maybe that's the unfortunate,
Speaker 1: you know, too late anecdotal evidence people need to see.
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna happen because we had a whole
Speaker 1: year at Ashually, I don't know body to get inside.
Speaker 1: A lot of those people didn't give a fuck. So
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a Olympic team star in swimming, this dude,
Speaker 1: Michael Andrew. Keep an eye out for him because he
Speaker 1: is the favorite in the two hundreds. He's probably gonna
Speaker 1: win gold for America. He qualified for the most events
Speaker 1: of any swimmer on the U S team or tied
Speaker 1: for the most. And he is an anti baxer, not
Speaker 1: an a valid antiaxer. His his reasoning is just because
Speaker 1: everyone's heading in one direction, why do we have to
Speaker 1: follow that direction of the kyrie irvy the kyrie right,
Speaker 1: because he should take that advice when he get his
Speaker 1: dumbass in the pool when everybody has going one direction,
Speaker 1: you go ahead and try and see and see if
Speaker 1: you win gold or not. Your dumbass like it. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: come on now. But yeah, you know, the U. S
Speaker 1: Olympic team has deprived us of, you know, all the
Speaker 1: exciting people to cheer for, but at least they've given
Speaker 1: us some that we can hope. Just like sinks to
Speaker 1: the bottom of the pool like a fucking stone. When
Speaker 1: he jumps out, he's like, I'm I'm going for deepest
Speaker 1: quickest in the two Okay, okay, Mr Contrarian, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's it's work. We're seeing it
Speaker 1: at every level, at every level. Yeah, and again you
Speaker 1: wouldn't and I wouldn't, you know. I was even talking
Speaker 1: to some other friends of mine too, and things are
Speaker 1: going through with their family, and it's it's really astonishing
Speaker 1: how sort of clearly defined that take is, especially with conservatives,
Speaker 1: like it's it's just like the you know, that's just
Speaker 1: part of the culture war. It's one of the battles
Speaker 1: that they have to do their work on, which is
Speaker 1: I will not get vaccinated, clearly defined and poorly thought through,
Speaker 1: all right, And finally there's a new study from the
Speaker 1: University of Victoria. The questions how accurate the media driven
Speaker 1: notion is that most people end up together like with
Speaker 1: like a love at first sight or like an immediate
Speaker 1: attraction type situation, and like the idea that if you
Speaker 1: start out as friends, like your your friends owned and
Speaker 1: that's not good. They find that most successful couples or
Speaker 1: couples who have been together for a while started out
Speaker 1: as friends. Yeah, saying two thirds of like a study
Speaker 1: they did of like almost two thousand people of romantic
Speaker 1: relationships started out platonically. And then this they say, like
Speaker 1: they did this study because about like friends first initiation
Speaker 1: is what they call it is when they looked at
Speaker 1: other studies about how relationships begin, almost like three fourths
Speaker 1: of them were just specifically looking for like the spark
Speaker 1: of romance between strangers rather than an evolution from friendship
Speaker 1: into romance. And only eight percent of the studies previously
Speaker 1: centered on romance that develops among friends over time. And
Speaker 1: they said there was very little variation across gender, level
Speaker 1: of education, ethnicity, and found that the rate of friends
Speaker 1: first initiation was even higher among twenty somethings and within
Speaker 1: the l g B, t q I E communities. Percent
Speaker 1: of such couples begin as friendships. Although look, I'm a
Speaker 1: little dubious, but at the same time, I think that's
Speaker 1: only because massive media has informed so much of what
Speaker 1: I think life is. And then I'm like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: really friends like that? But if I'm gonna be, you know,
Speaker 1: keep it a buck. Like me and her majesty. We
Speaker 1: started off as friends and later on you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: ship like this is I'm like, you get to know somebody,
Speaker 1: and like, I think a lot of our ship lines
Speaker 1: up rather than like the horny strangers who meet at
Speaker 1: a party and like gets on from the gym. It's
Speaker 1: so funny too, because there's this notion that a lot
Speaker 1: of people subscribe to where if we're friends, I don't
Speaker 1: want to ruin the friendship or I, you know, don't
Speaker 1: want to risk our friendship if you know a relationship
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. And listen, I understand that I'm not down.
Speaker 1: I'm not down in that at all. If that's how
Speaker 1: you feel, I think that's legitimate, but it always be
Speaker 1: the motherfucker's who be on their fifteenth relationship and like, man,
Speaker 1: I can't find nobody out here. May oh, you motherfucker's
Speaker 1: out here. It's trash everything. And it's just like, well,
Speaker 1: you got somebody who you enjoy spending time with, you
Speaker 1: talk to and laugh and they know you. You can
Speaker 1: be intimate like not physically, but like emotionally with and
Speaker 1: all these things. And I understand you want to keep
Speaker 1: those friendships, but it just is I don't understand how
Speaker 1: we shut ourselves off to the idea that this is
Speaker 1: the foundation that we should be building for an actual relationship,
Speaker 1: and that more people don't go towards that route. It
Speaker 1: really surprises me. I truly, That's why I said, like
Speaker 1: even me being dubious, like and I say that more jokingly,
Speaker 1: but I truly think it's because I've consumed so much
Speaker 1: media in my lifetime from childhood on that over and
Speaker 1: over this message is reinforced of like meeting someone somewhere
Speaker 1: and then like boom, sparks fly that it's and then
Speaker 1: this idea of like this friend zone thing that is
Speaker 1: inescapable is like another weird construct which isn't like a
Speaker 1: US universal law of human interaction, but like a thing
Speaker 1: that's you know, frustrated men come up with. I think
Speaker 1: it's like really, you know, I think all comes together
Speaker 1: for me to really take a second be like damn,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not really often. I don't think I've
Speaker 1: actually ever just met somebody and then immediately sparks flew
Speaker 1: like it was like, oh, you see him there, you
Speaker 1: see him there, there's a couple of group things you
Speaker 1: chat and again, yes that it may mean that you're
Speaker 1: attracted to the person, but it was more just like, okay,
Speaker 1: there's something attractive about this person, rather than like I
Speaker 1: will only fund this person in friendship is off the table,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if I was always thinking like that,
Speaker 1: but I know some people do. Because I think that's
Speaker 1: sort of the examples that that we're sort of fed.
Speaker 1: We have a policy in this household we only no
Speaker 1: no friendship. This feels like another It's interesting that it's
Speaker 1: twentysomething's and lgbt Q plus communities. I don't know, this
Speaker 1: just seems like another example of like younger people becoming
Speaker 1: more responsible with time, like then like the previous generations,
Speaker 1: it was like a lot of Uh. I think they
Speaker 1: had more affairs and like the previous generations and the
Speaker 1: older days, the boomers had more affairs than like modern relationships.
Speaker 1: It just feels like, you know, people averaged two and
Speaker 1: a half families to prayer household. Yeah, because because back
Speaker 1: then you couldn't text no mind and be like yo,
Speaker 1: your husband sheat know yeah, you know, you had to
Speaker 1: catch him when they was in the crib and had
Speaker 1: to hope they wasn't on the phone. So you got
Speaker 1: the busy signal. He just works a lot. Every weekend.
Speaker 1: He drives up to h He drives two counties over
Speaker 1: for business. You can't check. You can't check. It's only
Speaker 1: one car household like he was going up the street.
Speaker 1: This feels undoubtedly like much healthier, like like you guys
Speaker 1: are saying, like a much healthier way to like build
Speaker 1: a build a relationship is like having different looks at
Speaker 1: it at different levels, like you know, like every relationship
Speaker 1: should evolve and uh yeah, and not to say like
Speaker 1: you can't just start off hot and heavy and then
Speaker 1: your romance. But I think we have this, I think
Speaker 1: but we I think we put out of our minds
Speaker 1: the possibility that you can you can evolve a relationship,
Speaker 1: not to say that you can fuck your friends and
Speaker 1: because like, well we're friends, so that should be the
Speaker 1: lunch board to romance. No, but the idea that what
Speaker 1: we say in miles that's absolutely not but the idea
Speaker 1: that you can actually build on something and work and
Speaker 1: it can you know, evolve in that way exact with
Speaker 1: your wife, did you were you'all friends first or were
Speaker 1: you just you're like, I love this woman like your wife?
Speaker 1: If when? It definitely went through different stages, but like
Speaker 1: we never dated in college. I think there was always
Speaker 1: an acknowledged like spark there, but like we had other
Speaker 1: significant others and throughout college, so we were just like
Speaker 1: friends for a while and then yeah, it was probably
Speaker 1: like five six years of being friends before we eventually
Speaker 1: you know. But I think it was different from like
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's like, well I don't
Speaker 1: want to ruin the friends yet I think we both
Speaker 1: kind of knew if the situation was right. We were
Speaker 1: into each other right right, but you but on some
Speaker 1: level you developed a friendship even like maybe what you
Speaker 1: your ulterior moment. We had a relationship even when we
Speaker 1: weren't like dating or like romantically seeing one another. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I will. I will say that I think and I
Speaker 1: haven't crushed the numbers on this because I loved my calculator,
Speaker 1: but I think that the numbers of fail relationships that
Speaker 1: started off as friendships that or you were friends and
Speaker 1: then like you started to see them romantically and then
Speaker 1: you went for it, the number of failed relationships that
Speaker 1: start that way is probably just the same, if not
Speaker 1: slightly lower than the number of failed relationships that start
Speaker 1: the traditional And I'm putting that in quotation marks way
Speaker 1: that we think of relationships starting, And I know so
Speaker 1: many I know there are horror stories out there are
Speaker 1: people who hooked up with their friends and they tried
Speaker 1: a relationship and it didn't work out. Of course, there
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, if you look for a you will
Speaker 1: find B. But I also know many fucking friends who
Speaker 1: started to date somebody who they were friends with for
Speaker 1: a long time and they're like the happiest they've ever
Speaker 1: been in their entire lives right now. So it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, there is no I say, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: feels right, go for it, but also maybe stop building bricks,
Speaker 1: uh in front of the roads you're driving on uh
Speaker 1: and take away to roadblocks that you give yourselves for
Speaker 1: some outdated notion that we subscribed to in nineteen two.
Speaker 1: And this isn't like to say that like this is
Speaker 1: the only way for someone to have a healthy relationship,
Speaker 1: but it is. I think it does challenge this idea
Speaker 1: that like we all have of like what it means
Speaker 1: to be friends and a lot of times when you're
Speaker 1: friends with somebody and like maybe you take it there
Speaker 1: you get romantic. Usually if your friendship strong enough and
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, you you're cool enough to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, that didn't work. But we're still friends actually
Speaker 1: to this day, and that's cool because that's just we
Speaker 1: were exploring things within like a very good foundation of friendship.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think for somebody who was raised on
Speaker 1: eighties movies with boobies in them, uh, sometimes I struggle
Speaker 1: with my idea of how courting works. From time to time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to see some new boobs. You know,
Speaker 1: I get you, man, saying I found you is new boobies.
Speaker 1: I can't top that. It's been a pleasure having who
Speaker 1: thank you all so much. I'm sweating, where can people
Speaker 1: find you? And Folly who once I get off this toilet,
Speaker 1: y'all can find me in the streets and of course
Speaker 1: at Jackie's Neil. Remember what I told you all earlier.
Speaker 1: If we get the boy to ten K, I'm about
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred on Twitter away. Instagram is a longer story.
Speaker 1: I'm about five six thousand away from that, and I'm
Speaker 1: not expecting that. But you know, go ahead, do you think?
Speaker 1: And I'll release these un aired podcasts, one of them
Speaker 1: with Jamie Loftus, a couple of improv podcasts, a couple
Speaker 1: of podcasts where we got high as hell and then
Speaker 1: did improv. We got some really fun was with some
Speaker 1: really dope as people. So check that out at jacquees
Speaker 1: Neil on everything. Yeah yeah uh. And is there a
Speaker 1: tweet or some of the work of social media you've
Speaker 1: been enjoying. Yes, yes, well Myles tried to ruin it
Speaker 1: by spoiling it. Now I'm joking, but this I can't
Speaker 1: really like. It's not a tweet as far as like
Speaker 1: this was funny the wording. But there's this tweet from
Speaker 1: at fan one o m underscore is weird tweet, but
Speaker 1: basically they win his more support for their dad getting
Speaker 1: there his first vaccine, and he's scared of needles. And
Speaker 1: the video is about a minute and like, how long
Speaker 1: is it? It's about two minutes long. And it is
Speaker 1: the funniest ship that I've never seen somebody as scared
Speaker 1: of needles. But it's in such a charming way that
Speaker 1: he's scared of needles. He's like this sixties seventy year
Speaker 1: old black man wearing camouflage and he keeps calling the lady, Now,
Speaker 1: miss lady, I don't know about this. How many tests
Speaker 1: you didn't had with this vaccine? As lady the way
Speaker 1: when she tries to inject him and his body come
Speaker 1: like retreats from her to the point that he is
Speaker 1: taking a knee on the ground. She he was like,
Speaker 1: all right, go ahead and put it in the arm
Speaker 1: down here. She's like, now, I gotta put it in
Speaker 1: the dell toy. He's like the who oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pin it. I'm gonna pin it to my
Speaker 1: uh if you want to see this tweet, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pin it to my profile so you can see it.
Speaker 1: It is a very funny two minutes. It is worth it.
Speaker 1: You will laugh. It's charming. But he got his vaccine
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a good ending all the way around.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's uh, that's the funniest sweet I've seen
Speaker 1: in about the past two three weeks. Yeah, Miles, where
Speaker 1: can people find you? What's the tweet you've been enjoying?

Speaker 1: And then one more. Um. In the wake of everything
Speaker 1: that happened in the euro Cup Final, Beth Louise at
Speaker 1: Beth ex louise x x tweeted, if Instagram can flag
Speaker 1: up anything COVID related and add swipe up links within seconds,
Speaker 1: why can't they remove racist accounts and delete racist comments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's something to think about. Yeah, I like to
Speaker 1: tweet by speaking of that whole thing just watching Bill
Speaker 1: Bird like kind of go through the World Cup final
Speaker 1: when when the the euro Cup final, when when the
Speaker 1: shootout was going on, he said, this is a terrible
Speaker 1: thing to do to people, which I was like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. It's that's what I would say. It's a
Speaker 1: crul outcome. Yet whoever fox this up should be immediately
Speaker 1: put into protective custody and relocated to a new cut tree.
Speaker 1: And he also wrote that Jesus Christ is born earlier,
Speaker 1: so real roller coaster. Uh tweet I've been enjoying. Cody
Speaker 1: Wimmer tweeted airplane mode but for thoughts, I like that.
Speaker 1: That's what like podcasts are for me sometimes. And then
Speaker 1: at Kimmy Monte tweeted, Hey, how's life me, and then
