Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. We are thrilled to be joined by
Speaker 1: the brilliant and talented Sharene Lanny. You know, I apologize
Speaker 1: in advance for this. Okay, Oh fuck, bring Sharne into line.
Speaker 1: Wake me up. I can't wake up. Call my phone
Speaker 1: and I won't answer. It's on silence. I can't get
Speaker 1: out of bed, so leave me there instead. Saved me
Speaker 1: from the blood that I be calm. Bring Sharne. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm done, fucking quit. We got Sharene in the building.
Speaker 1: I just needed the background because the song you should
Speaker 1: know exactly what song it is, like two seconds of it.
Speaker 1: Just whenever I hear the build up to that chorus,
Speaker 1: it reminds me of like bad magicians who I've seen
Speaker 1: use that, or like or in comedies you've seen people
Speaker 1: deploy that song so perfectly. But yeah, there's so much
Speaker 1: tension in that instrumental. M Are you big or just
Speaker 1: a fan of that? So I heard I heard that
Speaker 1: song on the radio like a week ago. This was
Speaker 1: stuck in my head ever since, and I mean, like
Speaker 1: growing up, it was definitely cool, you know, like during
Speaker 1: that like Goffy phase and I mean not everyone went through.
Speaker 1: But is it Christian? Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I regret this entire thing. I
Speaker 1: was like, does she wow, Okay, she's down with his messages?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? I really had no idea. So is
Speaker 1: it about Jesus bring me to life? Is she talking
Speaker 1: like he's she's Jesus? Yeah, waking me up inside? Talking
Speaker 1: with me? Know they met at a Christian youth camp,
Speaker 1: like the people in the band. Yeah, they're so it's
Speaker 1: like Christian. They're fucking dorks. Okay, never mind. I think
Speaker 1: the most high profile troll I ever got was from
Speaker 1: I think the basis maybe the guitarists from Evanescence who
Speaker 1: left the band because they weren't Christian enough and like
Speaker 1: talk about me and in some respect I don't even remember.
Speaker 1: I just thought they were cool ass, like goth people
Speaker 1: that loved like bluete and music videos. But now they're
Speaker 1: just sucking dorks. They're dorks. Just they're just spreading his word,
Speaker 1: you doors. But they were just like off that. I
Speaker 1: thought all their lyrics were like email, bring me to life,
Speaker 1: save me from the nothing I've become, Like, okay, you're
Speaker 1: really depressed. But now it's now it's all different. It's skewed.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like that. Yeah, I mean, it's it,
Speaker 1: it is. This is the thing. That's that's how they
Speaker 1: that's how they indoctrinate us, you know, with their God
Speaker 1: Christian New medal. Wait, so you just start right to
Speaker 1: talking about evanescence and not about my song. Yeah, the performances,
Speaker 1: talking about perform That's what I said, Amy Lee needs
Speaker 1: to quit, right, that's the first thing I said. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I need validation all the time. You got validation. And
Speaker 1: the funny thing is you don't need it because everybody
Speaker 1: heard it. You know what I mean. It's a parent
Speaker 1: I just love that first. Where were you're driving if
Speaker 1: you hear that, like okay, okay, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1: They're trying to wake you up. So maybe you'll go
Speaker 1: back to church on Sunday. Yeah, maybe it's working. It's
Speaker 1: in my head all the time. Wake up, let me up,
Speaker 1: I mean, please Christ help me I'm spending too much
Speaker 1: money a hot topic. There was something I really related to.
Speaker 1: It was either a tweet or something whatever. It's just
Speaker 1: something in the ether. But it was like, go, I
Speaker 1: want to go back to lockdown because I've spent more
Speaker 1: money in the last three weeks than I spent all
Speaker 1: of And that's how I feel, right, you mean like
Speaker 1: just going out there, You're just just going out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel that way. Like I've been to like one
Speaker 1: like outdoor you know, Edendale, and this is so so
Speaker 1: it's like an outdoor thing, and I spent so much money.
Speaker 1: It was like the first I had been to restaurant.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, let's go. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: just don't like how I like buying everyone like meals.
Speaker 1: You're like, send them a chicken. Yeah, Nicole. We like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that is revealing about who you are? Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know. The most recent thing that I've been looking
Speaker 1: at is not that excited. It's just bikini's. I've been
Speaker 1: like NonStop obsessing over the perfect bikini to find for
Speaker 1: the summer. And the best part about that is I've
Speaker 1: been looking at that stuff for like three days, and
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to maybe wear a bikini once this
Speaker 1: summer because that's I don't even go to the beach, right,
Speaker 1: that thing where you get an idea in your head,
Speaker 1: You're like, this is what the next three months are
Speaker 1: going to be, and then you're like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think it's just an idea. Yeah, like you're living
Speaker 1: at in your mind? Are you living at the beach
Speaker 1: every day? In my mind, I'm living at the just
Speaker 1: in general, I feel like this summer, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to be like super sexy this summer.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dress all scampy. I'm gonna be, you know,
Speaker 1: flirting with everybody because we're free again. We're all vaccinated
Speaker 1: and out and about and yeah, and I'll be at
Speaker 1: the beach and you know whatever, sun and fun and
Speaker 1: having them a butt out. But it's like I'm not.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's my that's that's the idea. But
Speaker 1: the reality is I will probably be chilling in my
Speaker 1: apartment of the time, or not at the beach anywhere,
Speaker 1: but the beach. Yeah. Yeah. I always picture l A
Speaker 1: summer is like the I know to one oh or
Speaker 1: saved by the bell like baside summers where they all
Speaker 1: work at the beach club and you know, that's just
Speaker 1: what it is, and tossing a beach ball around working
Speaker 1: at the restaurant. Yeah yeah, And that's how I live.
Speaker 1: And the best part of actually is I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna be in l A. I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: New York and like in like a week or two,
Speaker 1: I'm going to New York for two months. So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna like, so you'll be like one of those
Speaker 1: people who puts a blanket out in Central Park and
Speaker 1: like the stuff like that. I'll find a way. I'll
Speaker 1: find a way. I'm gonna buy the perfect bikini. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put a blanket in Central Park in each for them,
Speaker 1: maybe some like Wall Street persons like, hey man, you
Speaker 1: want to go to the Hamptons. That's the plan. I'll
Speaker 1: advertise the goods at in Central Park and then someone
Speaker 1: will ask me to take a trip to the actual
Speaker 1: beach and I'll be like, yeah, I'm prepared, yeah for
Speaker 1: growing up here, I go to the beach. Seldom do
Speaker 1: I go to the beach. Yeah, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to maybe make it out one or two
Speaker 1: more times. I went kayaking in the Marina for the
Speaker 1: first time. That was nice, nice and easy, nice and
Speaker 1: easy time in the calm waters. The waters are called
Speaker 1: Marina del Rey. Yeah, like it's just the water is
Speaker 1: real flat. You can just rent a kayak for like
Speaker 1: an hour and kind of go like in the in
Speaker 1: the Marina area where it's just I felt like I
Speaker 1: was getting real active and then very frustrated because I'm
Speaker 1: terrible at kayaking. But I got my shipped together about
Speaker 1: thirty minutes ten. Are those the boats where you go
Speaker 1: by yourself and you throw back and forth and they
Speaker 1: can but they have like tandem ones, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's all it's paddler's choice. I feel like the last
Speaker 1: time I was in a boat like that was a
Speaker 1: canoe and it tipped over and so ever since then,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm actually good boats that
Speaker 1: I have to throw myself. Yeah, these ones are very stable,
Speaker 1: so I felt very calm. The tipping factor wasn't quite there,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I encourage people to get out into the
Speaker 1: still waters, throw yourself out there in the marina. The
Speaker 1: Marina is known as the swinger hot spot of the
Speaker 1: West side of l A f y. I a therapist once,
Speaker 1: a like you know therapist in her mid sixties, was
Speaker 1: like Marina, Yeah, you know the swinger hot spot. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't always the most random people that are like you know,
Speaker 1: they're getting late a million times and I'm like, how's
Speaker 1: that happening? If you see a couple on with backwards
Speaker 1: life jackets in a swingers just follow them to their house.
Speaker 1: But the s s fox a lot. Yeah, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: you went out there. Nobody asked you to be a third.
Speaker 1: You didn't get invited to be someone's third. There was
Speaker 1: nobody out there. It was it was very it was
Speaker 1: very overcast, so and it wasn't the best day. But
Speaker 1: next time I might just wear a shirt advertising down
Speaker 1: to fuck see what happening? You're down to Jersey, you're
Speaker 1: doing clippers Jersey. I feel like I might start actually incorporating.
Speaker 1: I got a pair of US swim trunks, as I say,
Speaker 1: because I'm in my forties that are really nice and
Speaker 1: I like them a lot, and I've never like worn
Speaker 1: swim gear as like part of my clothing. But I
Speaker 1: think I might just start rocking it, like on the daily,
Speaker 1: even when I'm not planning on going to the y
Speaker 1: m c A because I'm an old person. Wait, what
Speaker 1: kind of swim trunks do you get? What? Do they
Speaker 1: just like the pattern? Yeah, they're from like uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just like the pattern they're they're like
Speaker 1: longboard shorts, remember those, you know? I like. I like
Speaker 1: to show off the the thigh's got a little color
Speaker 1: on there. Otherwise it gets uh, people have to wear
Speaker 1: something glasses around me, show off that March Simpson thigh.
Speaker 1: You have hot. Actually it's so far off that it's
Speaker 1: not Actually I'm not allowed to say it's Marge Simpson,
Speaker 1: it's Marks Samson. Yeah. You don't want to get you
Speaker 1: don't want to get in trave for that. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1: It's funny. Whenever I think of someone wearing swim trunks,
Speaker 1: as you say, like in a non like water setting,
Speaker 1: I always think of a camp counselor Yeah, like that's who,
Speaker 1: that's who that outfit is. I don't know many You
Speaker 1: never know, like these kids are gonna drop sh it
Speaker 1: on you. Just better to wear quick dry clothing all
Speaker 1: the time. He's got to be prepared. But do you
Speaker 1: guys wear boxers under swim trunks. I never understood that,
Speaker 1: like they some of them do, right, No, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: not a look. It depends on maybe how generally comfortable
Speaker 1: you are with your nudity or something. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of shorts have like the built in underwears, and
Speaker 1: so do you. I've never worn underwear. It just feels like, like,
Speaker 1: why would you wear a cotton that is gonna not
Speaker 1: dry underneath the thing that will drive very quickly? Just
Speaker 1: never quite made sense. Yeah, that never made sense to
Speaker 1: me either. So that's why I was like, if you're
Speaker 1: wearing the shorts out with your regular clothes as your outfit,
Speaker 1: are you going to be wearing a boxer that we're
Speaker 1: just going you know, like someone in my position? Are
Speaker 1: you prepared? That's that's actually a question that I've had
Speaker 1: so far. I've only worn it without but maybe maybe
Speaker 1: if I really want to make it a part of
Speaker 1: my rotation, I should probably think because it's not fully comfortable,
Speaker 1: you know, the netting and yeah, and it's like a
Speaker 1: boxer brief and like the netting is not and you know,
Speaker 1: I can get ill adjusted down there, so I uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to plan that one out your look for
Speaker 1: your summer. Look. Absolutely, I do appreciate, Miles that you
Speaker 1: turned it into turned me into a camp counselor with
Speaker 1: like the zinc on my nose, tube around my waist.
Speaker 1: There's something about it too that feels very nineties to me.
Speaker 1: Wearing your chim trunks with like a T shirt and
Speaker 1: wearing it as an outfit feels very nineties. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta have this drink. You gotta have you a little
Speaker 1: tube at floaties on your arms, please, Sunglasses with a
Speaker 1: strap on the back. Yeah, yes, exactly, do the whole look,
Speaker 1: it'll be a thing. It'll be your new like thing
Speaker 1: when you go out and everybody like, Oh, that's the guy.
Speaker 1: That's the guy that's always wearing slim trunk. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta have a brand. Yeah, what what is something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Ever, I'm assuming we'll wait and
Speaker 1: you'll let us know if we hear back from will
Speaker 1: Be will Be. Yeah, it's an iPhone for sure, because
Speaker 1: the messaging is blue O them, so it's a I message.
Speaker 1: I know I went through we'll Be. I'm waiting to
Speaker 1: see if Darla is still available. I think I think
Speaker 1: weed gummies are overrated. This is a new thing. I'm
Speaker 1: not against sweet gummies, but everyone's like, oh, I took
Speaker 1: so many weed gummies and it's like no, like that,
Speaker 1: I'm not that now. I'm done with that, Like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I ate one too many. It's like, are you really hi?
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of it, you know, you can't get
Speaker 1: released stone, but I'm over that whole, Like I can't
Speaker 1: do it, man, it's too much, you know. I see
Speaker 1: that on TikTok a lot as a meme of like
Speaker 1: the Just eight you know, two d milligram edible, which
Speaker 1: is like are you dumb? They like they were suddenly
Speaker 1: having like a transcendental moment in like a target, when really,
Speaker 1: if you got hit, like if you really were smashed
Speaker 1: by edibles, you would be laying down and just be asleep. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also, if you're that high at a target, you're
Speaker 1: not having a you're having a panic attack or an
Speaker 1: anxiety attack. You're not nobody if you're calm your sociopath
Speaker 1: at a target, if you're calling at a target on
Speaker 1: two dram edible natural environment. The New American Gladiators is
Speaker 1: just seeing if people can do that. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: you're going into this target on a two milligram edible.
Speaker 1: See if you can keep your ship together a little
Speaker 1: just ar contested. No, we have. We have contacted several
Speaker 1: of his former high school and junior high school classmates
Speaker 1: to have random runnings with him in the random house
Speaker 1: and see how he navigates those social interactions challenge. The
Speaker 1: challenge is just running into a next girlfriend. Yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 1: Are you feeling awkward? Are you shop here too? Can't handle?
Speaker 1: I forgot American Gladiators? It's coming back? Is it already back?
Speaker 1: It's been There was a version that came back, and
Speaker 1: then I didn't watch it because in my mind was like, well,
Speaker 1: and lets the original Gladiators are there. I'm like, they
Speaker 1: can't be alive. Those people were abusing steroids in the
Speaker 1: early nineties. Yeah, you know for sure they were at
Speaker 1: muscle Beach. Yeah, just eating all that protein. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Is there a documentary about how they assembled the Gladiators
Speaker 1: that would know? But what's the bactery of turbo and ice?
Speaker 1: You know what a casting directors really need? Muscle videos? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be cool this guy, he'd be cool for
Speaker 1: the show what the Family sitcom? Yeah? Cool? Cool? I
Speaker 1: do I do like that? Those gladiator shades are coming
Speaker 1: back in the whole Colgan's yeah, dad fishing sunglasses. I've
Speaker 1: seen them around. I I you know what, I'll say,
Speaker 1: that's an underrated sunglass. That's an under underrated fashion. The
Speaker 1: gladiator sunglasses like the you know what I mean, they
Speaker 1: look like it's like it's kind of like what like
Speaker 1: Randy Savage would wear, Macho. They almost looked like goggles
Speaker 1: and like that. There's no like the frames are different.
Speaker 1: Look up hard, thunder hard. Okay, Yeah, yeah, they kind
Speaker 1: of look like ski goggles a little bit. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like that, But maybe that makes me a bad person
Speaker 1: because I want to look like a DJ. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about that lately. Do you just want
Speaker 1: to look like a D when Yeah, it's like that
Speaker 1: doesn't that's not that's not a good thing to aspire to.
Speaker 1: Baby rocking a parting. Hey someone who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about looking like a DJ because just pull
Speaker 1: it off. But like looking like a DJ, you just
Speaker 1: walk up looking like an asshole? Yeah, you never want right,
Speaker 1: very different, you know what I'm thinking? You don't want
Speaker 1: to be the person to be like yo, I ever
Speaker 1: looking like a DJ or something that. Then it feels like, yeah,
Speaker 1: why you wearing drop crotch pants with a lot of ropes.
Speaker 1: I'm really about this lifestyle now you bud. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I've been watching a lot of YouTube about DJ getting
Speaker 1: really into the Dutch sound, you know, but like Jamaican Dutch.
Speaker 1: You know, like everybody in the building, come in, you know,
Speaker 1: DJ ever he's in the building, come in, come in,
Speaker 1: Like what just the most like basic takes on how
Speaker 1: we all need to get together. Everybody get together, you know,
Speaker 1: we need to love. Hey, everyone jumped to the music
Speaker 1: and let's be happy together. Now are you ready for
Speaker 1: the beat to drop? Let's count three four? Okay. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Dutch DJ's, oh Anna wrote to us, it's like
Speaker 1: when that DJ shouted out George Floyd before dropping that Yeah, David,
Speaker 1: it was David Gheta. Remember he's like a shout out
Speaker 1: to George Floyd's family, and like underneath it was like
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech. It's like
Speaker 1: shout out to his family. Oh my god, y'all, this
Speaker 1: is too close. This is too close to him actually
Speaker 1: dying for you to just disrespect him like this with
Speaker 1: your DJ drop? Is that real? Yes, oh my, here
Speaker 1: for people who don't know what do they even do? Obviously,
Speaker 1: this brought to you by hydroxy chlora quinn. I feel
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of anti maskers in that. Listen,
Speaker 1: here we go. This is David Ghetta doing whatever the
Speaker 1: funk he thought he was doing by honoring George Floyd
Speaker 1: with an E D M. The world is going too
Speaker 1: difficult times in America to actually so. Last night, I
Speaker 1: know we were going to do this, and I met
Speaker 1: a special record is in honor of George Floyd, and
Speaker 1: I really hope we can see more unity and more
Speaker 1: peace when already things are so difficult. So shout out
Speaker 1: to his family. Get you when you differ. Oh, no violence.
Speaker 1: It was a drinking rooted in the American dream. I
Speaker 1: have a drink, and he's doing the most when it
Speaker 1: just feel like this, Like he just feels it like
Speaker 1: the most disperous fact. But anyway, Jackie, you look like
Speaker 1: probably what his entire team was doing when he was like,
Speaker 1: I know, we said we were not going to do this.
Speaker 1: I tender my resignation. Sir. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? You've got mail romantic comedy. Now hold on
Speaker 1: before before you close this, uh this recording session. That's
Speaker 1: been plenty. Thank you, Stay West, stay with me. You're
Speaker 1: both like, Wow, Kate was cool and now complete point
Speaker 1: of view change. You've got mail rom com Yes, starring
Speaker 1: mcgrin and Tom Hanks, but more notably guest starring Dave Chappelle,
Speaker 1: Great Kenear Parker, Posey steves On. Here's the thing about
Speaker 1: this movie. When I was a kid, when I was
Speaker 1: in high school, I got my wisdom teeth taken out.
Speaker 1: My dad rented all these VHS tapes for me to
Speaker 1: watch when I was recovering, and I kept going back
Speaker 1: to that movie, not sure why, and then I that
Speaker 1: kept happening, Like it's a movie I've seen a bunch
Speaker 1: of times. But I have to tell you, I have
Speaker 1: met so many people who are the last person you
Speaker 1: would expect to like that movie. And like a very
Speaker 1: dear friend of mine who's incredibly he's from Queen's incredibly
Speaker 1: talented rapper artist. I was like, one day we were
Speaker 1: hanging out, I mentioned a line from that movie, just
Speaker 1: like not even thinking about He's like, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that movie, And I was like, what you
Speaker 1: love that movie? Recently, a friend who's an installation artist,
Speaker 1: like just like very like artist. Person was like, I
Speaker 1: love that movie, and my husband is like, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: like that movie, and she was like I know, like
Speaker 1: I know, I shouldn't like that movie, like it goes
Speaker 1: against everything that I am, But I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: a friend of another friend of mine told me that
Speaker 1: he had done a breakdown of the script of that
Speaker 1: movie and it's like perfectly symmetric. So I have this
Speaker 1: theory that it's just like a weird calming mechanism for
Speaker 1: my brain to watch that movie, like the way that's
Speaker 1: symmetry things that symmetry can be anyway. I also just
Speaker 1: have to say the supporting cast is amazing, Like Chappelle
Speaker 1: is fantastic, great Canary is like so subtle you don't
Speaker 1: even realize he's acting. He's so good. And the little
Speaker 1: kid who's his brother saying, oh, Miles, thank you, I'm
Speaker 1: there to Kate, you know, the devil knows his own
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I know. I mean, like I I've
Speaker 1: watched that movie a lot more than I care to
Speaker 1: tell people that I have. Because also like when you
Speaker 1: start watching, like yo, the plot will also I think
Speaker 1: the plot holes like started like I'm like, hold on,
Speaker 1: you haven't figured out who you are to each other
Speaker 1: quite yet. This feels a little like very unrealistic, but
Speaker 1: not to the point where I'm like I'm done with
Speaker 1: this there. I don't know what it is. If it's
Speaker 1: like the aesthetic of like late nineties New York and
Speaker 1: like that could be a big part. Like mega stores
Speaker 1: aren't still a thing, so like you're like, oh right, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is people a little apple laptops and ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Politically it's weird because it's like Barnes and Nobles is
Speaker 1: taking over and that's just what happens, and they're just
Speaker 1: like yeah's like we still love them. The Moral is
Speaker 1: a little odd now, but I think when you're in
Speaker 1: a vacuum, I'm like I feel the same way, like
Speaker 1: there's something Yeah to your point, kid, I feel like
Speaker 1: plot holes and things that are like the Moral is weird,
Speaker 1: Like that's almost a testament to the spell of the movie.
Speaker 1: Like that's what Christopher Nolan makes, movies that are just
Speaker 1: like riddled with plot holes. But it's like I feel
Speaker 1: like that's him showing off that he can like spin
Speaker 1: this web of like movie magic that we just like
Speaker 1: won't notice them, and like, yeah, I feel like that's
Speaker 1: a good example of a movie that we should have
Speaker 1: hated and when we rewatch it now we should be like, well,
Speaker 1: this isn't good because this is like a love story
Speaker 1: in which Sam Walton likely seduces like a local like
Speaker 1: mom and pop store owner. But it just works because
Speaker 1: it's Tom Hanks obviously and Meg Ryan obviously, but also
Speaker 1: just like a really well done movie. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's the new love. Like love actually for a while
Speaker 1: was the movie that like a lot of really like
Speaker 1: very smart people were like, no, it's actually great, and
Speaker 1: I would disagree with them, but then when you watch it,
Speaker 1: you kind of get it. I feel like that we're
Speaker 1: having that moment for you got mail. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: just such great points and it's making me think about
Speaker 1: you know, because it's also like it's a movie that
Speaker 1: I've watched over so many years and to your point
Speaker 1: about like the moral issues of it, like a thousand percent,
Speaker 1: you know, it's making me think like, well, what is
Speaker 1: it about that movie? I also think it's Nora Fron,
Speaker 1: you know who who wrote and directed it and and
Speaker 1: and actually was not like if you read her essays,
Speaker 1: was she was very feminist, like she was not, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of like sugary romcom person At least it didn't
Speaker 1: seem like it's so I think some some of that
Speaker 1: must be a play. Yeah, it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: an enigma, that movie. But yeah, but worth worth like
Speaker 1: one fine day over you've got male personally. But oh
Speaker 1: my god, I actually recently rewatched that on Hulu. Miles
Speaker 1: and the opening scene of that, like to your point
Speaker 1: about nostalgic New York, like it's raining, it's a Brownstone.
Speaker 1: You can see in all these warm, glowy windows. You're like,
Speaker 1: wrap me up in this blanket, you know, I know
Speaker 1: it maybe like I was so confused watching that movie
Speaker 1: growing up in l A in my whole life. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how do these schools work? And like they walk across
Speaker 1: town to ship. I'm like this this has like I
Speaker 1: don't know what this magical fairytale and this guy's in Barbados,
Speaker 1: who be a R B A D O S. I
Speaker 1: just remember so many wildlines from that. I don't remember
Speaker 1: that movie at all. If that didn't even Yeah, George Clooney,
Speaker 1: Michelle Pfeiffer, it's it's it's a deep cut shack like
Speaker 1: it's from arrested development as a child's right. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: maybe that'll be the next one that has a like
Speaker 1: second life in the In the Zeist God, I feel
Speaker 1: like I have to do a whole like just soul
Speaker 1: deep dive of if you've got mail? Just like what
Speaker 1: is it about these things? I don't know? Also too,
Speaker 1: if it maybe hearkens back to A, like when I
Speaker 1: think of when I saw it, and I was truly
Speaker 1: like A. I had no responsibility, and so this like
Speaker 1: films are like glimpses into like oh yeah, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like A the economy seems good enough in
Speaker 1: these films, like maybe being an adult isn't that bad.
Speaker 1: And then you're like, this isn't like one fine day
Speaker 1: or like anything I saw like Mad Max. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing about it is real, Yeah except for the yeah
Speaker 1: Sam Walton, like the bookstores, the only real part is
Speaker 1: like dark as fun, Like I feel very conflicted about
Speaker 1: because my my mom is a librarian, like I grew
Speaker 1: up supporting independent bookstores, Like I actually feel deeply conflicted
Speaker 1: about it, and yet I just share that I believe
Speaker 1: that it's underrated, So there's something there's there's some more
Speaker 1: soul searching to do there. Yeah, yeah, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about it. My mom's
Speaker 1: a librarian, my dad is the CEO of Barnes and Noble.
Speaker 1: But they lived happily ever after. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: What does it mean? Yeah, he bought a house next
Speaker 1: to this library, claimed evanent domain, demolished it, and then
Speaker 1: built his first story. It was cool, I know, like
Speaker 1: Dabney Coleman shows up. Jean Stapleton is still like, what
Speaker 1: what's happening. I also have a brother who's three. Yeah, wait,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? It's a modern American family. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back to Talk News. And we're back and and
Speaker 1: what is becoming a continuing segment, we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: just cops being petty and having their feelings hurt. This
Speaker 1: time in Portland, the Portland Police bureaus protest response was
Speaker 1: not great. Uh, not great. If you want to listen
Speaker 1: to Robert Evans's podcast Uprising, that's that's worth checking out
Speaker 1: to get a better understanding of what was happening on
Speaker 1: the ground there. But it was because it wasn't just like, hello, everybody,
Speaker 1: this is the Portland Response Bureau. Please this first, peacefully.
Speaker 1: This has been declared an unlawfuless family, shout out to
Speaker 1: your family's um. No, they were definitely fucking people up.
Speaker 1: We saw the kinds of violence that was happening. And
Speaker 1: I think anyone who saw any protests around the country,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be surprised to hear that police officers were
Speaker 1: physically assaulting protesters, peaceful protesters. That that was clear as day.
Speaker 1: And what happened was the City of Portland did the unthinkable,
Speaker 1: which is they indicted an officer for an assault. And
Speaker 1: what happened was after that, fifty members the entire protest
Speaker 1: response unit resigned from their positions. They said, quote from
Speaker 1: this article. Resignations came after port And police officer Corey
Speaker 1: Budworth was indicted in connection with an alleged assault during
Speaker 1: a confrontation with protesters. Budworth, who was a member of
Speaker 1: the response team, was charged with fourth degree assault for
Speaker 1: allegedly striking a woman in the head during a protest
Speaker 1: in August. So, yeah, those fifty people who resigned, they
Speaker 1: didn't leave them. They didn't leave the force. Come on
Speaker 1: now have you seen those pensions. They just left this
Speaker 1: unit and said there. Their reasoning was they felt that
Speaker 1: they didn't have the support of the city council. Cool,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna take their batons and go bash people else. Okay,
Speaker 1: snowflakes really the biggest fucking snowflakes in the world, these
Speaker 1: cops are. So that's inherently why people have used power, right,
Speaker 1: because they're so insecure and whatever their position or station
Speaker 1: in life is, that they found a way to sort
Speaker 1: of like leverage their position to act out there like
Speaker 1: small person fantasies by brutalizing people. And then the second
Speaker 1: there's accountabilities, Like yeah, the woman he attacked with a
Speaker 1: weapon and beat over the head with with his baton
Speaker 1: was a photographer, so you know she hadn't coming. She was,
Speaker 1: you know, daring to take the press free, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's just like some it's interesting because
Speaker 1: I think people forget that, like Portland is just a
Speaker 1: small part of Oregon, and Oregon is scary. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: They're like they're trying to make new Idaho right now,
Speaker 1: Greater Idaho. Oh yeah, that's right, right, aren't they trying
Speaker 1: to make a movement? Part of them, like we want
Speaker 1: to be part of Idaho, like we're leaving Oregon. You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: I see okay, oh funk. I was gonna say something
Speaker 1: about snowflakes. It'll it'll come back in the middle of
Speaker 1: the podcast. Stop shout out to your memories. Yeah shout out.
Speaker 1: Oh I was okay. I was diagnosed with frontal lobe
Speaker 1: seizures over the pandemic. What does that mean? I sorry,
Speaker 1: part of my ignorance, So like I'll have these things
Speaker 1: in the frontal lobe of my brain like right here,
Speaker 1: so might say my third eye. And for a long time,
Speaker 1: I thought like, wow, I'm really psychic because I don't
Speaker 1: like convulse. It feels like I'm about to sneeze. And
Speaker 1: now it'll feel like they you know when you get
Speaker 1: deja vu, it's intense deja vu. But then I'll see
Speaker 1: like visions that don't add up, for memories that aren't real,
Speaker 1: and they'll last like thirty seconds to maybe a minute.
Speaker 1: They have been randomly. This is embarrassing. But when they
Speaker 1: first started happening, I did go to a very expensive
Speaker 1: intuitive woman to figure out told me what she told me,
Speaker 1: I had the gift and I believed it. And then
Speaker 1: three years later I went to the neurologist and he said,
Speaker 1: you absolutely should have come to me first, and it
Speaker 1: was actually cheaper to see a neurologist psychic but yeah
Speaker 1: in this country, but yeah, you know, like it's and
Speaker 1: then he prescribed me dog medication. Um oh, the psychiatrist,
Speaker 1: the psychic. Yeah. I was like, I don't see a psychiatrist.
Speaker 1: I don't need help. It's like it's okay to go
Speaker 1: to therapy. Watch your mouth. Um no, it's called kepra
Speaker 1: and it's the same medication they give dogs seizures. I
Speaker 1: felt pretty bad. So you thought you were having a
Speaker 1: bit of deja vu? Is that is that? How that
Speaker 1: just came up? Now? Oh? Memory? So part of part
Speaker 1: of the Caesars is memory. It's been very loss, which
Speaker 1: is terrifying because I do have a grandmother with dementia.
Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, starting early, here we go.
Speaker 1: My grandmother, Yeah, had dementia as well. That's always I think.
Speaker 1: Anything when you're like, I'm a generation after do I
Speaker 1: need to worry? They skipped the generation my parents are
Speaker 1: could be fine. I'm like, shit, and I need to
Speaker 1: take my dog medication. But the side effects outnumber the
Speaker 1: gros and they're like that, and like he told me this.
Speaker 1: The pharmacist told me this the internet, Like the Internet
Speaker 1: told you a lot, but there it's like one like
Speaker 1: the most frequent side effects is um severe aggression, like
Speaker 1: like mood altering aggression than irritability, and then this sense
Speaker 1: of like out of body severe depression, and it's like cool.
Speaker 1: And the doctor was like, but you'll know, you'll depressed
Speaker 1: and you'll be aware that you want to kill yourself,
Speaker 1: so you could just get off. And I was like what,
Speaker 1: Just like that, doc, I think I'll stick with He's like,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll you know, you'll start you might start having
Speaker 1: suicidal thoughts and ideations, but just remind yourself you're on
Speaker 1: a medication and the thoughts aren't real. And it was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I like that better. One I thought
Speaker 1: I was a psychic. Are you a warlock? Yeah? The
Speaker 1: psychic tell you was like, oh, don't listen to him
Speaker 1: against us. Yeah. My psychic said, who are you saying, Clara?
Speaker 1: How do you know? I told you? He said my name,
Speaker 1: like we used to date. They're in a racket together,
Speaker 1: just like neurologist is misspelled and oh yeah. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my insurance covers this. And the guy's like yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: kill yourself. Just sign your life policy over to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, keep taking these. So I haven't started with
Speaker 1: medication yet. I refuse, but maybe this next story will
Speaker 1: help me. Yeah. Well, speaking of not having their needs met,
Speaker 1: let's talk about people in retail jobs. I feel like
Speaker 1: they're starting to wake up to the fact that America
Speaker 1: treats workers like ship basically, and they're they're fleeing six
Speaker 1: D retail workers just put in their notice they're leaving
Speaker 1: their jobs in April. In April that was like this figure.
Speaker 1: That was the largest one month exit um like a
Speaker 1: given industry that the Labor Department has ever seen since
Speaker 1: they started collecting data. So they're like wow, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like everything these people were. They went
Speaker 1: through all this ship over the last year, dealing with customers,
Speaker 1: dealing with you know, being understaffed and having to do
Speaker 1: way more ship while also having this label of essential
Speaker 1: without any real gratitude really attached to it from their employers.
Speaker 1: And people are mon. Yeah, I mean there was like
Speaker 1: Kroger did a hero's bonus for like two seconds and
Speaker 1: then like, okay, called them heroes. Isn't that enough? Is
Speaker 1: come on, it's called the hero bonus. I mean, but yes,
Speaker 1: I'm the hero in the C suite because I put
Speaker 1: a sunset on that and it didn't go the whole
Speaker 1: time of the pandemic. But this other thing is like,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people just on part of that.
Speaker 1: It's not that they're just quitting, because I think if
Speaker 1: you listen to Republicans, it's going to be like, well,
Speaker 1: this is what happens when Joe Biden gives people some
Speaker 1: stimulus checks and unemployment. These people are going to other jobs.
Speaker 1: These aren't just not working, They're just saying, fucking retail
Speaker 1: was fucked up and I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are finding other places like
Speaker 1: insurance agencies, mari wanted dispensaries, banks, local governments, you know,
Speaker 1: where they can have customer service skills but also have
Speaker 1: like things like better wages, benefits, things like that, And
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going some people going back
Speaker 1: to school or learning new trades or waiting till they
Speaker 1: can get childcare to like better their options. So it's uh,
Speaker 1: I think it's really telling you know where we're at
Speaker 1: it such, especially with the fact that we constantly have
Speaker 1: this thing that we're seeing now where people are refusing
Speaker 1: to work for sub subsistence wages and they want to
Speaker 1: they want to be able to have a dignified life
Speaker 1: like you should. It just shouldn't matter where you work,
Speaker 1: just the fact that you can contribute, unfortunately to this
Speaker 1: consumer economy or whatever, that you can have a life,
Speaker 1: you can have a home to sleep in, rather than well,
Speaker 1: do you have enough jobs for a home? Do you
Speaker 1: have enough jobs to have a child? That's the art
Speaker 1: the equations still back. Yeah, I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of people are just seeing I feel like people in
Speaker 1: office jobs that we're working nine to five regular jobs,
Speaker 1: they got to step back while they were working from
Speaker 1: home and doing zoom jobs, and so they're kind of
Speaker 1: having this moment of being like I don't need to
Speaker 1: go into the office, or I only want to work
Speaker 1: two days in the office. The rest of the days
Speaker 1: I can work remote and still get all of the
Speaker 1: work I need to get done. And so it's like
Speaker 1: they already had their moment. And now the retail workers
Speaker 1: now that things are slowing down there like what was
Speaker 1: this ship that we just dealt with for the past
Speaker 1: year and some change, and so now they're just like
Speaker 1: I'm out. Like I think people are in general just
Speaker 1: having these awakenings of being like, we don't deserve to
Speaker 1: be treated like this, and we're not getting paid well
Speaker 1: enough for being taken care of, so we gotta go
Speaker 1: find something different. And I'm glad that so many people
Speaker 1: are leaving. Maybe people, maybe someone will wake up and
Speaker 1: make some changes. I mean, I worked retail back the day.
Speaker 1: Is not fun. Yeah, it's not like I at it.
Speaker 1: And I think for even before the pandemic, a lot
Speaker 1: of people were like, this is just it's a tough
Speaker 1: job and there's very little. There's nothing in return that
Speaker 1: makes it worth our time, aside from the crunch of
Speaker 1: living in America where dude, you can't just quit your
Speaker 1: job and you know, pivot to something else quickly because
Speaker 1: some people, you know, a lot of people live checked
Speaker 1: to check and that disruption in their income can be disastrous.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I I these are the moments
Speaker 1: too where you're like, God, if some people just had
Speaker 1: their ship together, you know, politically, they could look at
Speaker 1: what's happening here and be like, yeah, there's a there's
Speaker 1: a way to get support for from a lot of
Speaker 1: Americans that would help a lot of people without being
Speaker 1: like who's a Republican and who's a Democrat or whatever,
Speaker 1: and just like, you know, guide this thing by something
Speaker 1: called human dignity. But you know that's that's the perfect
Speaker 1: thing to be a priority in politics. No, No, unfortunately not,
Speaker 1: and especially again when you have people like Joe Manchin
Speaker 1: who got there. He's getting He got an award from
Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce for the Bipartisanship Award, which is
Speaker 1: basically because he took a ship on the fifteen dollar
Speaker 1: minimum wage hike. So he gets awarded by these business
Speaker 1: associations like the Chamber of Commerce to say he is
Speaker 1: a hero of bipartisanship. No, he's the fucking fullback who
Speaker 1: blew up your you know, opportunity to whatever. So he's
Speaker 1: it's all just obstruction. And yeah, you hope that these
Speaker 1: things will all add up on some level because or
Speaker 1: maybe they'll just be like then this is why we
Speaker 1: need robots. Yeah, I mean, you're sending like retail in particularly,
Speaker 1: you're sending people into like impossible situations like if if
Speaker 1: you've ever worked retail, like the American consumer, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to like going with the premise that the consumer, the
Speaker 1: customer is always right and like that's and the consumer
Speaker 1: like goes into any interaction knowing that, and just like
Speaker 1: it's just such a fucking brutal dynamic to then like
Speaker 1: not pay them exorbitantly. Well, like it's pay them a
Speaker 1: living wage. Like like you were saying earlier, they have
Speaker 1: to get multiple jobs just to be able to support
Speaker 1: their family and they're working so much for what in
Speaker 1: the isn't the restaurant industry also having a huge, like
Speaker 1: hiring problem because of this, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's you know, enough is enough for people,
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's funny because you see people I've
Speaker 1: seen people who work retail, like who manage a retail
Speaker 1: store have way better communication skills and like FBI hostage negotiators,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like the ship I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this person is racist as fuck in
Speaker 1: your face and you've somehow just fucking shoulder Ship Euro
Speaker 1: stepped around their bullshit and then got them to be
Speaker 1: like feel heard and then they leave, Yeah God, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not and they're not paying you ship.
Speaker 1: This is fucked up, and I think that's what you
Speaker 1: know you. I commend people who are taking these things
Speaker 1: into their own hands, and I hope that you know
Speaker 1: that they can enter a job market that will, you know,
Speaker 1: reward them for their skills as well, because Yeah, unfortunately
Speaker 1: retails in it, and especially like working in retail, people
Speaker 1: come up to you thinking you are the ex company.
Speaker 1: You're like, you're the son or daughter or child whoever
Speaker 1: owns the company or in the store. But fuck, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just making T shirts in here. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: my business elsewhere. I'm like, okay, well, I'm starting on
Speaker 1: this graphic and I can't press it to these sweatpants
Speaker 1: that you want. But what is this about? On the
Speaker 1: website it says you have it. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're not paying the ship. Also, you don't know my
Speaker 1: boss hasn't paid to my last two paychecks bounced. So
Speaker 1: what you want to do? What have you seen the
Speaker 1: TikTok with the guy working at Ikea y going we're
Speaker 1: talking about Yeah, it's so good, because that's what everybody
Speaker 1: that works in customer service and retail just wants to say.
Speaker 1: Because I don't know. It's so strange how customers suddenly
Speaker 1: either forget or just don't understand how it works. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they think that you are John Ikea or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And it's like, I am not the company. I am
Speaker 1: simply a man trying to make money. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's not I don't I can't do anything for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they get also they getting their heads where they
Speaker 1: the word no doesn't exist if you're a customer according
Speaker 1: to something. Yeah, And I think it offers people to
Speaker 1: like in this country, it's like the one place you
Speaker 1: can go in with your sense of entitlement and someone
Speaker 1: kind of has to half oblige it, yeah, or at
Speaker 1: least yeah. Like other some places, you know, you can't
Speaker 1: come in with that fucking energy, Like for a certain
Speaker 1: context in your life, you can't have that fucking energy
Speaker 1: with people. But in this one you can suddenly now
Speaker 1: project all of your frustrations on someone who's working retail
Speaker 1: or whatever and go off and then these people can't
Speaker 1: fucking clap back. Although you do see it more and
Speaker 1: more now where you see conflicts with workers and people
Speaker 1: getting in people's faces, and you guess what you're also
Speaker 1: dealing with a stressed out humans. So maybe things will happen.
Speaker 1: That could be a class that they teach in schools,
Speaker 1: like working retail for one day. They make every kid
Speaker 1: work in retail one day. The only with somebody who
Speaker 1: thinks that you have to assume that they're always right
Speaker 1: is like such a like imagine I like the comparison
Speaker 1: of a hostage negotiator, because imagine if the hostage negotiator
Speaker 1: had to deal with like a rule that the terrorist
Speaker 1: is always right, and the terrorists knows that they're supposed
Speaker 1: to have that assumption, Like, it's a completely it's a
Speaker 1: completely impossible situation. I want one billion dollars in unmarked
Speaker 1: bills and a fueled jet. Ok that, let me talk
Speaker 1: to your manager. I am the manager, and I I
Speaker 1: love what you're saying right now, and that's going to
Speaker 1: be heard. What I can offer you right now is
Speaker 1: maybe ten off in the next purchase. Okay, fine, okay, fine, shit.
Speaker 1: I gotta quit this motherfucker. I hate the Coach store,
Speaker 1: hate the coach story. All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back and talk. Brittany, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and Miles, I wrote up this new York Times story
Speaker 1: because I knew you didn't wanna you didn't want to
Speaker 1: read this, you didn't want to hear about this ship.
Speaker 1: But a New York Times reporter ordered worth of tuna
Speaker 1: subs from Los Angeles from Los Angeles area subway, So
Speaker 1: it can't be like, oh, this is just a regional problem.
Speaker 1: It is the subways that you have been frequenting. Frozen
Speaker 1: is it my one on More Park? Uh? It was
Speaker 1: five different ones, I mean sampling and very well could
Speaker 1: have been uh, Frozen sent them to a lab that
Speaker 1: specializes in fish testing. The lab looks for d n
Speaker 1: A that can be identified as tuna and amplified, and
Speaker 1: they were unable to find any, not a single what's
Speaker 1: the problem. What's the problem, So they don't know This
Speaker 1: story is kind yeah right, So that's I think like
Speaker 1: they open it up to being that, like at one
Speaker 1: point they're like, it could just be that it's like
Speaker 1: so degraded from all of the processing that like it's
Speaker 1: no longer recognizable from a d n A perspective, which
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, well then we don't have a problem here.
Speaker 1: But exactly, there is no just move along. This ship
Speaker 1: is so processed. There's like a in the look as
Speaker 1: superproducer Anajosie sent the article out because she wanted to
Speaker 1: take a shot across my bow, although at the same
Speaker 1: time she came up with a brilliant defense for me.
Speaker 1: You that if anything, if I commit crimes or something,
Speaker 1: I'm going to use the subway tuna defense that that's
Speaker 1: what happened. She's like, just blame everything you do on
Speaker 1: eating subway tuna sandwiches for as long as you did,
Speaker 1: and someone may be sympathetic. But yeah, like that, when
Speaker 1: one of the other like sort of experts that was
Speaker 1: talking about it just said, I mean, like when you
Speaker 1: boil this ship down and cook it down, it like
Speaker 1: ceases to have any sort of organic like you, it'll
Speaker 1: be hard to find the DNA at that point because
Speaker 1: of all the processing. Do I think that it's just
Speaker 1: a bunch of shredded up haaveana slandals and ship I
Speaker 1: don't know, but this is they did some great This
Speaker 1: will probably end up just being like a big advertising
Speaker 1: hoax by Subway and they're like, yeah, there's no traces
Speaker 1: of tuna. It's all Caveatbway welcome. Yeah, one of the same,
Speaker 1: like one of the ingredients in their bread was the
Speaker 1: same thing that they used to make yoga man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: right yeah? Or is everything like a certain like we
Speaker 1: you can break everything down far enough into a chemical
Speaker 1: compound that it's like yeah, I mean, like we all
Speaker 1: contain carbon, and I bet there's some carbon in there,
Speaker 1: so you could be like subways like eating people. It's
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think's articles. Also this article just
Speaker 1: from its methodology perspective. He bought five subway subs in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, froze them, and sent them to a lab,
Speaker 1: which the testing you later find out is affected by
Speaker 1: like how much it's been frozen and like broken down
Speaker 1: and all these different things. So like why did were
Speaker 1: there no subways near the lab? Like we're what was
Speaker 1: the New York Times budget that they were like, sorry, bro,
Speaker 1: you gotta just like hack this investigation together using whatever
Speaker 1: subway you can walk to. Yeah, this smacks of something
Speaker 1: that was all orchestrated by Jimmy John's or something, right,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, where they're like look at us like
Speaker 1: it's like you can watch a video of the tuna
Speaker 1: being processed from the sea all the way to your mouth,
Speaker 1: so you know you can trust our tuna but I
Speaker 1: think it would be interesting if you just did this
Speaker 1: across all American food, like just really to help people
Speaker 1: understand how fucking processed the food is that you like,
Speaker 1: there's a version of getting a can tuna from your
Speaker 1: store and then making your own like tuna salad or
Speaker 1: whatever and whatever it takes for these companies again, because
Speaker 1: it's all about creating the widest margins for their profits
Speaker 1: as possible. That it's when you process this ship and
Speaker 1: do it cheap and things like that. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 1: it ends up being a fucking five dollar football. All
Speaker 1: that to say is I feel great. My magnetism has
Speaker 1: died down ever since I started eating subway tuna sandwiches
Speaker 1: to offset the magnetism from the vaccines. Occasionally, like I mean,
Speaker 1: my tone nails grow at a such a rate that
Speaker 1: I find it to be very impressive. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: actually see it visibly from space, like happening in front
Speaker 1: of you. But yeah, there's this quote that says, because
Speaker 1: if we all want everything at rock bottom prices, that
Speaker 1: means something somewhere is going to be exploited, whether that's
Speaker 1: people or the ocean, probably both. Um in the case
Speaker 1: of tuna, they also say like they have behind the
Speaker 1: scenes testimony from Sandwich artists who work at Subway who say,
Speaker 1: who say that the tune that comes as two separate ingredients,
Speaker 1: mayonnaise and a flaky like brind fish looking uh substance
Speaker 1: that they then mixed together with their hands and gloves.
Speaker 1: But it that that was the best I've ever felt
Speaker 1: about Subway tuna. Was like reading that spoken he spoke
Speaker 1: under under the condition of anonymity. They both did actually
Speaker 1: fear for fear of reprisal from Subway, both Sandwich artists
Speaker 1: that they had on at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown.
Speaker 1: I remember when so many restaurants and things sort of
Speaker 1: pivoted to being like, hey, you can just buy shipped
Speaker 1: from it, Like you need an egg or like some
Speaker 1: lettuce or whatever get you could buy. You could buy
Speaker 1: the tuna that's Subway. They were sound five pound bags
Speaker 1: of this ship that was pre mayonnaised and it was
Speaker 1: just pretty much labeled. I mean I maybe bought it
Speaker 1: and was coven it. So that was the that was
Speaker 1: the good part of like what I learned. The the
Speaker 1: bad part is that they will leave it out on
Speaker 1: the counter for seventy two hours they consider the like
Speaker 1: post mayonnaised tuna to be among their most like shelf
Speaker 1: or a sandwich bar stable ingredients. The way they describe
Speaker 1: it is like the fish is like caught with a
Speaker 1: net that is like I don't know, it's just it's
Speaker 1: exactly the thing that happens at the end of uh
Speaker 1: finding Nemo. I think, where like all the fish and
Speaker 1: like the dirty part of the ocean get like trapped
Speaker 1: in this net and then like they just freeze them
Speaker 1: immediately once they get them on the boat and then
Speaker 1: like bake them with all their organs and ship in
Speaker 1: them and then like at that point remove the bones,
Speaker 1: like it's some factory. So that's like kind of gross,
Speaker 1: and it's also only the worst quality tuna. Like there's
Speaker 1: the they're like the pink tuna we send to sushi bars,
Speaker 1: the like pink ish tuna that has like some funked
Speaker 1: up stuff on it. We sear the outside of that,
Speaker 1: leave the inside pink and like send it off to restaurants.
Speaker 1: And then there's the stuff that's just all you know,
Speaker 1: got food, has a whole yeah, cat food exactly, and
Speaker 1: that that we sent to the canneries, which is where
Speaker 1: your can't tuna comes from the tuna that doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to swim, exactly right. Yeah. The shout out to
Speaker 1: all the listeners who incessively tagged me in every single
Speaker 1: version that was had a link and could be I
Speaker 1: could be added in for bringing this to my attention.
Speaker 1: I've again I wouldn't be who I am without this
Speaker 1: mystery fish. So in that way, thank you. But I'm
Speaker 1: still unwavering in my support of subway whatever this sandwiches
