Speaker 1: we're talking about today. We're talking about the horrifying building
Speaker 1: collapse down near Miami. There's just this like genre of
Speaker 1: news stories of catastrophe is that we could have seen coming.
Speaker 1: These news stories are all happening inside the big like
Speaker 1: historic one of climate change. So I just want to
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court just nailing it allowing slavery to be
Speaker 1: used by Nestley, just taken away some rights from unions,
Speaker 1: because you know, unions in America, when will it stop?
Speaker 1: They're everywhere, They're just all over the place. Too many rights.
Speaker 1: I say talk, it's a it's a heavy one to
Speaker 1: start start the weeks as a beautiful It's a beautiful
Speaker 1: start to the week, and I love it. We're going
Speaker 1: to check in with the Nielsen ratings, uh and explain
Speaker 1: what you know where Nielsen ratings come from. And I
Speaker 1: feel like they're going to be a consistent part of
Speaker 1: our show because they have finally put together a system
Speaker 1: that takes into account streaming, so we'll be able to
Speaker 1: have a better sense of what people are streaming only
Speaker 1: on his daily side, Guys, will you get building collapsing,
Speaker 1: slavery and the Nielsen race here? It is a second
Speaker 1: rate podcast after all. But first, Adam, we like to
Speaker 1: ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson? Hear me out? Okay, okay, we will. I
Speaker 1: was trying to explain to my partner Anna who he
Speaker 1: was and I don't know if you guys went through
Speaker 1: this pandemic for the past sixteen months, but it's played
Speaker 1: havoc on my memory. So I had to be like,
Speaker 1: what what was it that he was so bad about?
Speaker 1: And so I had to like look up explainers and
Speaker 1: and and refreshed myself on on what his whole deal
Speaker 1: was again, and it was just like it was a
Speaker 1: weird kind of peek into like a box, like a
Speaker 1: box of memories you haven't opened up in a while,
Speaker 1: Like oh, yeah, you know, so you weren't ling. How
Speaker 1: is Jordan Peterson right about everything? No? No, yeah, I
Speaker 1: did get those videos suggestions, But yeah, will you ignorant
Speaker 1: if I don't know anything about Jordan and Peterson? Like
Speaker 1: what is he? What? What is he famous for? He's
Speaker 1: famous for being a a psychologist, like a psychology professor
Speaker 1: who Cannon conserted himself into the in Canada. Let's be yeah,
Speaker 1: in Canada's qualify We're about to hear a story about
Speaker 1: Canadian schools. I'm just saying, let's tina did. He also
Speaker 1: like sort of inserted himself into the transgender debate like
Speaker 1: about sixteen, saying he wasn't going to use prefer pronouns.
Speaker 1: He also wrote a book called like Beyond Chaos twelve
Speaker 1: Got twelve rules for living or something, And most of
Speaker 1: them are like, you know, go to bed early, eat
Speaker 1: meat exclusively, or some you know, just it's like a
Speaker 1: mixture of things that are like observable true, like you know,
Speaker 1: sleep is important and then think like make your beds sometimes,
Speaker 1: like things that your parents would tell you. And then
Speaker 1: just like poisonous men's rights act as ideals. He was
Speaker 1: also I had a very strange last like a few
Speaker 1: years where like his daughter, like he was living with
Speaker 1: his daughter who was like kind of controlling his life,
Speaker 1: and then like he was addicted to Benzo's and then
Speaker 1: like went to Russia to get an experimental treatment for
Speaker 1: benzo addiction that ended up putting him in a coma.
Speaker 1: So just like kind of a rough few years for
Speaker 1: somebody who is famous for telling people how to live
Speaker 1: their lives. Sounds like the hero. Yeah. The one thing
Speaker 1: I remember from the discussion about his book was that
Speaker 1: he frequently talked about in like Beyond Chaos or whatever
Speaker 1: it's called, that he watches The Simpsons on double speed.
Speaker 1: I was just efficient, bro, because you want to know
Speaker 1: what happens in the plot, but you don't want to
Speaker 1: get the rhythm of the jokes or anything like that,
Speaker 1: because all that time that you're laughing is wasted energy.
Speaker 1: Twenty four minutes is too long to watch. TV's got
Speaker 1: to speed this up, especially, it's just like goes down
Speaker 1: so easy. Why was you got to speed this up
Speaker 1: to an episode to half an episode of SpongeBob also
Speaker 1: has a bunch of metaphors about human behavior that draw
Speaker 1: on the behavior of lobsters that you know, nobody has
Speaker 1: ever accused lobsters of being like the thing to model
Speaker 1: your your behavior after, but he takes the interactions and
Speaker 1: dynamics between female and male lobsters and draws conclusions from
Speaker 1: that to like how you to act as a man
Speaker 1: towards win. Well, look, I'm glad AXT, I'm glad ax
Speaker 1: if that that saved you a Google, Yes, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. What is something you think is overrated? Well,
Speaker 1: I think the big story that keeps going around about
Speaker 1: the unemployment crisis is kind of overrated. I think that
Speaker 1: there's that big media narrative like nobody wants to go
Speaker 1: to work, everybody's quitting their job, and it's just like, no,
Speaker 1: it's not that. It's like a capital strike. So many
Speaker 1: companies made so many billions and billions of dollars, So
Speaker 1: many companies got free money from the government at one
Speaker 1: point from like Steve Menuchin. We don't know who got it.
Speaker 1: That money's out there and they just don't and and
Speaker 1: they need people to work, but they don't want to
Speaker 1: pay anybody. But it's always framed as like, oh, everybody
Speaker 1: got used to not working in the panda. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but like I hate being unemployed, Like it's still worse.
Speaker 1: I would I want to take a job. I don't
Speaker 1: want to take a job that like leaves me worse
Speaker 1: off right at the end of the day than than
Speaker 1: not working. It's such a yeah, So I think it's
Speaker 1: it's so crazy to see how overinslated that media narrative
Speaker 1: is Yeah, very American media. I think the I think
Speaker 1: the real headline is during the pandemic, workers started to
Speaker 1: realize they're fucking worth, like is the thing, you know,
Speaker 1: Like people started to realize, wait a minute, I should
Speaker 1: be earning more than poverty wages or wait a minute.
Speaker 1: You know. A lot of the this is I'm just
Speaker 1: a cog in a wheel, so I'm gonna care about
Speaker 1: myself a little bit more. And it's not that people
Speaker 1: don't want to work, is that people don't want to
Speaker 1: work and live in poverty still, you know, Or people
Speaker 1: don't want to commute a half hour and a half
Speaker 1: to their job just to barely live above the poverty line,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's so much more in a
Speaker 1: than you guys are lazy, and that's why we won't
Speaker 1: give you anything, because if we give you more than
Speaker 1: you will be even more lazy than you are. It's
Speaker 1: it's fucking ridiculous. Yeah, I mean something that's not borne
Speaker 1: out by the statistics. But we we talked about this
Speaker 1: story earlier in the week, and just like the bullshit
Speaker 1: of this media narrative, and some of our listeners who
Speaker 1: work in the service industry we're pointing out, like it's
Speaker 1: really awful to work in the service industry normally in
Speaker 1: America because you're getting like all these sublimated ideals of
Speaker 1: superiority and like how much money you make being an
Speaker 1: indicator of like your inherent worth. Like basically, America is
Speaker 1: a very classist society that refuses to allow you to
Speaker 1: acknowledge that it has class structures in place. And so
Speaker 1: it's just a complete fucking nightmare for anybody working in
Speaker 1: like one of those jobs that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are focusing on when they're perpetuating this narrative that like
Speaker 1: and then so our our listeners were saying, and it
Speaker 1: got way worse during the pandemic because when you add
Speaker 1: anxiety to an already weird dynamic of people, you know,
Speaker 1: taking out their anxieties and frustrations on on people who
Speaker 1: are serving them, and like this whole American idea of
Speaker 1: like the customers always right, it just becomes a complete
Speaker 1: ship show. So, as somebody who worked in the service industry,
Speaker 1: mostly retail, I am here to let all my customers
Speaker 1: know you're mostly wrong, generally all the time, almost always,
Speaker 1: almost always you're wrong. You're wrong. You don't know ship
Speaker 1: like and and it's it's true, you know, like and
Speaker 1: that's okay. Like let the people who you come to
Speaker 1: like give you a service, give you a service without
Speaker 1: giving them ship. This is why. And you know, if
Speaker 1: you go to rest it right now, I know this
Speaker 1: is probably say on the site, guys, but be patient
Speaker 1: with all workers right now. Like we are. We have
Speaker 1: accelerated our consumerism a lot quicker than the service and
Speaker 1: the work industry has been able to catch back up
Speaker 1: after sixteen months of a pandemic which is still ongoing.
Speaker 1: It's endane, but it's ongoing. So it's it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: wild man, it's a wild time. Yeah. Yeah, And and
Speaker 1: keep tipping, keep keep the tipping up please, it's everybody
Speaker 1: is everybody was overworked before because that was how the
Speaker 1: system was built for like you know, restaurants and retail,
Speaker 1: they overwork everybody. The schedules are are written to be
Speaker 1: razors entire like really tight, so like you can't miss work.
Speaker 1: If you miss work, then you're the asshole and your
Speaker 1: whole everybody works with you hate you. And now it's worse,
Speaker 1: and now there's gaps in that system, you know, so
Speaker 1: like if you are going to go out, please, you know,
Speaker 1: considered tipping at least twenty percent and the very least
Speaker 1: is now the bottom like to be and then tip
Speaker 1: an extra to me every time you call out yeah venmo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things that Americans just like
Speaker 1: don't realize the dynamic. Like, well, not to be the
Speaker 1: when I went abroad guy, but when I went abroad
Speaker 1: and came back, like one of the first things I
Speaker 1: noticed I was in Ireland because uh that that was
Speaker 1: an easy language for me to learn. And when I
Speaker 1: came back, like there's not that many differences between like
Speaker 1: a you know an Ireland and America, but like the
Speaker 1: way that people have no patience and treat customer service
Speaker 1: and just service workers like absolute shit is like palpable.
Speaker 1: You like notice that immediately, like just every it's it's
Speaker 1: just a completely different like quality to human interactions in America. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was home. I was home recently and we went
Speaker 1: out to like a Panera bread with like me and
Speaker 1: my my parents, and it was clear that they're like
Speaker 1: training a person who is I think probably within her
Speaker 1: retirement age, but she just started there or something, and
Speaker 1: my dad just kept looking and being like she's not
Speaker 1: doing it right, like this is taking forever. Why And
Speaker 1: it's just like can you shut your mouth? Nobody wants
Speaker 1: to work here to make sandwich wrong. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like American sin eaters. I read that metaphor used recently,
Speaker 1: like the people who we just like give all our
Speaker 1: anxieties and like social like dysfunction too, or like the
Speaker 1: people who Panera it's just like they have to smell
Speaker 1: the fake smell of fake bread until it makes them
Speaker 1: like lose a part of their soul. Just cut them
Speaker 1: a fucking break, Cut them a break. Yeah, Adam, what's
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? I landed on Tom Sharpling.
Speaker 1: Are you guys aware of Tom sharp Ling The Best Show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a new book coming out. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to read for anybody who's listening who doesn't know anything
Speaker 1: about him. He's he was like, he's like a TV
Speaker 1: writer's bit worked on The HFIS, Divorce and Monk, but
Speaker 1: he started doing The Best Show, which was like a
Speaker 1: three hour long comedy show on WFMU in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: which is like a public not a public station, it's
Speaker 1: a listener funded station. It's a three hour long call
Speaker 1: in show and he has like comedians and characters and
Speaker 1: stuff on it. He started doing it in you know,
Speaker 1: like when Bill Clinton was still the president, before you
Speaker 1: know iPods, so like, you know, it's like a guy
Speaker 1: who's been at it for forever, who's just you know,
Speaker 1: started as this guy in New Jersey with a radio
Speaker 1: show and is now you know, telling books. He's got
Speaker 1: this podcast with Julie Klausner. He's very funny. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's still not getting the recognition he deserves.
Speaker 1: He's still feels like a like undiscovered comedy gem that
Speaker 1: you can you know, he's got so much work to
Speaker 1: go back in experience, So I'm hoping that like it
Speaker 1: kind of turns over. He's also involved in, like I
Speaker 1: think the first season of What We Do in the
Speaker 1: Shadows as a producer writer. I think. So he's very,
Speaker 1: very funny. I just think not enough people know about him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he about he's writing Grown Ups three right now, which
Speaker 1: is he really Yeah, to get to the theater sc
Speaker 1: that that next, Adam Sandler, Chris rock Jam Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: but he is always he's somebody that like all your
Speaker 1: favorite comedians and comedy writers are like a big fan
Speaker 1: of and like probably no personally, like yeah, and the
Speaker 1: Best show is awesome that it's a ailable as a
Speaker 1: podcast or at least some of some episodes are available
Speaker 1: as a podcast. But he's also like he would like
Speaker 1: do these weird like music mashups that I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's just like a super talented dude. Like everything he
Speaker 1: does is kind of cool. He did this like one
Speaker 1: mashup of the Doors, and he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't really like the Doors until I just did that,
Speaker 1: And it was true of me too. I didn't like
Speaker 1: the Doors until I heard his like mashup that, Like
Speaker 1: he used some of Jim Morrison's vocals. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: he's a really interesting and uh funny dude. Great underrated man,
Speaker 1: great under Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And so there's the building collapse in
Speaker 1: Miami search side last week. At the end of last week.
Speaker 1: We're not, uh like, we don't have all the information
Speaker 1: on what caused it, but there are reports starting to
Speaker 1: come out that it was a building that you know,
Speaker 1: people who pay attention to these sorts of things were
Speaker 1: worried about, like had their eye on starting in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Scientists in the nine nineties said they noticed something wasn't right.
Speaker 1: It was a byproduct of analyzing the data. We saw
Speaker 1: this building had some kind of unusual movement. And it's
Speaker 1: just this genre of story. So like Adam McKay has
Speaker 1: this movie coming soon where a couple of scientists noticed
Speaker 1: that there's a world ending asteroid like hurtling towards Earth
Speaker 1: to destroy us. All it's called don't look Up and
Speaker 1: they go from country to country like warning world leaders
Speaker 1: about it, and like nobody will take it seriously. Everybody's
Speaker 1: just like yeah, yeah, sure, no, no, no, we get it.
Speaker 1: We hear what you're saying, but they just like won't
Speaker 1: do anything about it. And I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: good metaphor, but it's like we have we have metaphors
Speaker 1: of that every single fucking day, like it's constant. Yeah, there,
Speaker 1: there's so this is uh one of those one such
Speaker 1: metaphor where and like local politicians are like, let's not
Speaker 1: jump to conclusions. We don't know what caused it. But
Speaker 1: the fact that they are like that, there was data
Speaker 1: that was like this building is doing something buildings shouldn't
Speaker 1: do back in the nineties, like suggests, and they haven't
Speaker 1: done and hadn't done anything, not a single thing. They
Speaker 1: still reach it out condos they is is wild too.
Speaker 1: I saw this story and literally like just you hear
Speaker 1: any like damn, but like think about this, Think of
Speaker 1: your sleep at one in the morning and your building
Speaker 1: collapses on top of you, leving me a panic attack. Right,
Speaker 1: it is the wildest ship that it is. Truly, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised this isn't like a bigger story because it is terrifying.
Speaker 1: It's terrifying. And then to hear yo, we've been uh,
Speaker 1: we've actually been you know on this since it's like
Speaker 1: all right, then DWN. Y'all build a new ship all
Speaker 1: the time. Y'all couldn't tear it just building down and
Speaker 1: build a new one. It is wild. It's not good
Speaker 1: when the it's not good when the experts are like yeah,
Speaker 1: h yeah, yeah, they knew what the building was for,
Speaker 1: Like anybody told them, Yeah, that's not a good sign.
Speaker 1: That's not a good sign. And you know, anybody who
Speaker 1: lives in the l A area, I think is also
Speaker 1: seeing a proliferation of high rise buildings going in around
Speaker 1: all around Los Angeles, and you know, it's not outside
Speaker 1: of the imagination that there will be a earthquake that
Speaker 1: can rattle these things enough, you know, to cause some
Speaker 1: significant damage. I mean we have. Yeah, there's another kind
Speaker 1: of smaller scale but still catastrophic story, like where we're
Speaker 1: still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but we
Speaker 1: know the other shoe is gonna drop with the what's
Speaker 1: called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is the Pacific Northwest,
Speaker 1: actually has had like some of the biggest earthquakes in
Speaker 1: the history of the world. But it's just they were
Speaker 1: happening before people were habitating like that part of the country.
Speaker 1: But they were so big that like they created massive
Speaker 1: tsunamis that hit Japan, like raised all the way across
Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean and hit Japan because that's how big
Speaker 1: these earthquakes are. Seismologists finally like figured it out in
Speaker 1: the past twenty five years that like we're due for
Speaker 1: another one of these like massive you know, catastrophic tsunami
Speaker 1: creating earthquakes in the next fifty years. And they're still
Speaker 1: like building schools in the tsunami zones and ship like
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, ringing the church bells and fucking
Speaker 1: meeting with the mayors, and the mayors are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we we hear you, but this is that information. Uh
Speaker 1: we're going to dismiss as being unprofitable. Is like we
Speaker 1: hear you, we hear you. We really do, yes, but
Speaker 1: real talk, I ain't gonna know nobody in a honey years.
Speaker 1: I don't care about them. Motherfucker's like that's what they say,
Speaker 1: that's what they say, And do you see it coming.
Speaker 1: I don't see the earthquake right a hun of years.
Speaker 1: Oh should I'll be dead before the bill bill bill?
Speaker 1: Like it's wild. There's another like the deadliest landslide of
Speaker 1: all time happened in Peru and is this is another
Speaker 1: case like in nineteen sixty, these mountaineers like climbed up
Speaker 1: a mountain and we're like, oh, ship, like the whole
Speaker 1: side of this mountain is ready to give way, Like
Speaker 1: you guys need to move this town. And those scientists
Speaker 1: were run out of town, like run out of the
Speaker 1: country basically by local officials. And then ten years later
Speaker 1: an entire town was like swallowed by a landslide when
Speaker 1: there was an earthquake. It was like exactly what they
Speaker 1: fucking said. It was like word for word, like they
Speaker 1: were like, well, so here's what's gonna happen if you
Speaker 1: guys don't like do something about it. And they just
Speaker 1: didn't do anything and instead kicked them out of the country.
Speaker 1: You know what, Jack and Adam, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: this permission as well if like wherever in the building
Speaker 1: that collapses or you know, a muth slide happens, and
Speaker 1: they've known this ship was going to happen for ten
Speaker 1: fifty a hundred years and we survive. We have one
Speaker 1: autonomy to give each and every person we run into
Speaker 1: them hands. If we ever run into like we like
Speaker 1: on site on site, I don't give a funk and
Speaker 1: you and we can't go to jail. You can't do
Speaker 1: because you know, you know I survived. I'm beating your
Speaker 1: ass every time I'm seeing you every single time. So
Speaker 1: like we all have that autonomy, we can all do
Speaker 1: that if our buildings collapse on top of us, which
Speaker 1: will suck for you know, make that deal. Okay, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. I just wanted to have the permission to
Speaker 1: This is what the Supreme Court should be ruling instead
Speaker 1: of the protecting corporations from Yes, the Supreme Court should
Speaker 1: rule like the times, we can realistically give people these
Speaker 1: hands and it would be okay if if you if
Speaker 1: you survive a terrorist attack, you get your student debt
Speaker 1: paid off. If you survive a landslide or building collapse,
Speaker 1: you get to slap whoever you want. Right, These are
Speaker 1: fair deals, These are fair, These are practical solutions. You
Speaker 1: kind of start to see the problem when you listen
Speaker 1: to the scientists from this building collapse talk about the problem.
Speaker 1: The scientist says, it's very sad that people are forced
Speaker 1: to be reactive. We're constantly putting out fires. I think
Speaker 1: there's a systemic problem we have investing in preventative measures
Speaker 1: instead of reactive responses saves lives, money, and time. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that, like everything they just said is true,
Speaker 1: but you also understand like systemic problems investing in preventative measures. Okay,
Speaker 1: point dexter, whytt you go do me up a math
Speaker 1: equation and me and my boys are gonna go over
Speaker 1: here and like fight some people who did crimes already
Speaker 1: that already hurt somebody. It's just like not the ship
Speaker 1: that humans respond to. But we you know, we've also
Speaker 1: done things that basically behavioral modifications and like taking into
Speaker 1: account Okay, this is what humans respond to, this is
Speaker 1: what they don't respond to, and like this is how
Speaker 1: we get things to change over long periods. We just
Speaker 1: need to start sort of engineering society so that we
Speaker 1: take these you know, existential threats to human the human
Speaker 1: species like seriously and start making changes. I just don't
Speaker 1: know how to like force the hand force their hand
Speaker 1: to do it. Well, you know, if we do that,
Speaker 1: then we would have no more action movies, right, movies
Speaker 1: you get rid of all disasters? What else are we
Speaker 1: gonna watch? The rock? Do? I mean? That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Action movies is not preventative measures to safeguard action movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because there's there's there's going to be they're gonna find
Speaker 1: a villain. They're gonna find somebody to pin it on, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you did this. You know it's the contractor's fault. It's this,
Speaker 1: it's this person's fault, or you know, some sort of
Speaker 1: made up anarchists organizations. They're just gonna pin it on somebody.
Speaker 1: And like it's probably the way that the whole climate
Speaker 1: crisis gets solved, as when we finally go like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's this guy's fault that we've been burning gas for
Speaker 1: a hundred years. Let's get him. I mean, we have
Speaker 1: the we know who the villains are. It's fucking excellent.
Speaker 1: It's like the oil company isn't like like of climate
Speaker 1: change was caused by like ten companies. It's we know.
Speaker 1: I'll give you your villains, just like come ask me.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who the villains are. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: who the villains are in this, uh, this building collapse.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who the villains were in that Peruvian landslide.
Speaker 1: You just have to like do the research. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Supreme Court real quick, because as
Speaker 1: mentioned and and there's like a lot of I'm seeing
Speaker 1: on like anywhere from the center to the right, people
Speaker 1: being like, well, these are not as big a deal
Speaker 1: as you think, but like when you like thinking about
Speaker 1: behavioral engineering type ship and thinking about like corporations and
Speaker 1: how you get corporations to do anything and how just
Speaker 1: what we know about how corporations behave these are major rulings.
Speaker 1: So first there's a ruling where the Supreme Court found
Speaker 1: that people who suffered under child slavery could not sue
Speaker 1: American corporations who profited from the child slavery. So nest
Speaker 1: Lee's and a lot of chocolate companies for long periods
Speaker 1: of their history, we're profiting off of child slavery. You know,
Speaker 1: they weren't saying like there wasn't a Nestlee corporate meeting
Speaker 1: where they said go do child slavery. Instead, they were
Speaker 1: just like, you know, we like when labor costs are
Speaker 1: near zero, and you know, they let the dirty work
Speaker 1: be done in other countries. And that's the Supreme Courts
Speaker 1: like they technically didn't say it in America, so we
Speaker 1: have to let them go. Like that's been the biggest
Speaker 1: trend in the Supreme Court over the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: Is just like absolutely letting corporations get away with fucking anything.
Speaker 1: And you're just like, like they are like the thing
Speaker 1: that most needs to be protected in the in this
Speaker 1: country as opposed to the single most powerful actor in
Speaker 1: the United States. Yeah, and like I'm looking. I'm looking
Speaker 1: here too, and it you know, it's it's wild. We
Speaker 1: have a road here in l A called Caesar Chevis, right,
Speaker 1: we name an entire road after a man who did
Speaker 1: so much for so many people. And the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: ruled that a California regulation, which allows union organizers to
Speaker 1: recruit agricultural workers at their workplace, violated the constitutional rights.
Speaker 1: So their employee, like it, undid so much work that
Speaker 1: this man did, and you still, like cavin the nerve
Speaker 1: to walk on his street here in California. Is is
Speaker 1: so wild How we shipped on people doing real change.
Speaker 1: We shipped on the actual worker, and we shipped on
Speaker 1: people wanted to form unions to protect themselves at the
Speaker 1: expense of who. Like that's That's what I'm not understanding.
Speaker 1: Like nobody's gonna not be rich anymore, Like they're still
Speaker 1: gonna be rich. I'm all for people having their money.
Speaker 1: People have your money. I don't care. Have you millions,
Speaker 1: have you billions? I don't give a ship. Like it's
Speaker 1: not going to change. I get that, But at the
Speaker 1: expense of people who are barely making it, who do
Speaker 1: real things for change, who you take away like something
Speaker 1: that people fault and died for for a corporation that's
Speaker 1: here today maybe gone tomorrow is so insane to me,
Speaker 1: is so infuriating to me as well. Yeah, what is
Speaker 1: the constitutional right being violated here? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like the ruling came about because corporations were like, these
Speaker 1: unions are coming on to our land that we own
Speaker 1: and contacting our workers. It's like a complete bullshit technicality
Speaker 1: trespassing basically. But yeah, basically the first one, the slavery one,
Speaker 1: is like an eight to one ruling. This one is
Speaker 1: six six to three with the three liberal justices like
Speaker 1: being the ones who held out. But Jack, are you
Speaker 1: saying that some liberal people like allowed slate, they still
Speaker 1: want slavery to go like liberals, But we thought, oh man,
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I'll talk to you all. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's fine like Obama, who's like number one liberal, like
Speaker 1: a viral lifetime always said like that the arc of
Speaker 1: the universe bends towards justice, Like he took that Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King Jr. Quote. But I feel like we're also
Speaker 1: seeing that the ark of the universe in America bends
Speaker 1: too towards like erasure of the work done by left
Speaker 1: wing and like, you know, community organizers, says our Chavas.
Speaker 1: Like when I was growing up, I was like, you
Speaker 1: mean Julio, says our Javas, the boxer. I didn't know
Speaker 1: who the funk that was, like growing up in a
Speaker 1: public education and Ohio, and like Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 1: Like all of the community building and like worker isn't
Speaker 1: poor rights work that he did get erased and it
Speaker 1: just turns into a message of like being the value
Speaker 1: of being color blind. And it's just like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that and then Obama, who starts out as a community
Speaker 1: organizer becomes like the person who bails out Wall Street. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain.
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Also, did I call him Caesar
Speaker 1: Chaves earlier? And I says, are I'm sure I might
Speaker 1: have too, But it's okay. You know what, we blame education,
Speaker 1: education and cancel my history teach America. I believe that
Speaker 1: my lesson on saysar Shops was just the name Caesar
Speaker 1: shov Is. That's it, you know, like that's that's all
Speaker 1: the information you get is like through it was a
Speaker 1: man whose name we mispronounced. There you guys a day, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it? Yeah? Yeah? Do you guys think that what
Speaker 1: what would a class war look like to you all?
Speaker 1: Like I have trouble because you know, it seems like
Speaker 1: we we may be heading toward towards that. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't even know how it would look though,
Speaker 1: because I feel so unpowerful that like it feels like
Speaker 1: it feels like taking a knife to a buzuka fight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it look like last year. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it'll have to look like you know, the community organizing
Speaker 1: that happened last year, but like ramped up, and I
Speaker 1: don't I think it'll have to be like something that
Speaker 1: starts and then like builds up a momentum of its own,
Speaker 1: because unions have been so defanged and like the actual
Speaker 1: or you know, organizations that organized people have been so
Speaker 1: just knee captain America that like there's not I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know like how a planned out thing happens.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to have to be people reach
Speaker 1: a breaking point and like come together. But I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: that the Supreme Court is just so far to the
Speaker 1: right that I don't know, like what, Like I guess
Speaker 1: there's also generational stuff happening where like now even young
Speaker 1: Republicans or socialists, so like, eventually, maybe once these this
Speaker 1: is the second time I've been like, once these baby
Speaker 1: boomers mercifully die off in the past week. But you
Speaker 1: know once they once they go away, maybe things will
Speaker 1: start to I don't know, resemble move moving a different direction.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like we're literally talking about child
Speaker 1: slavery here, and we're literally talking about not giving people
Speaker 1: their rights to care about themselves. Like this is what
Speaker 1: we're talking in. The Supreme Court is ruling against these things,
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's two thousand twenty one, and
Speaker 1: you would think the better part of us as a
Speaker 1: humanity would realize, even if you're a Republican or a
Speaker 1: Democrat or liberal or conservative whatever it is, that like
Speaker 1: children shouldn't be children shouldn't be slaves, they shouldn't be
Speaker 1: working under bad conditions, they shouldn't be working at all,
Speaker 1: you know, and for a party that cares so much
Speaker 1: about life and pro life and all these things, it's,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's so cliche, but it's so true
Speaker 1: that they care about you know, life up until they
Speaker 1: pop out of their moms and you know, in terms
Speaker 1: of the real world, and it's like a two fingers motherfucker, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's so wild, it's so wild. I don't, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, so the child slavery thing, like is the
Speaker 1: thing that it's taken away is the ability for them
Speaker 1: to sue corporations. Incorporations are inherently like designed to be
Speaker 1: institutions that create value for their shareholders. So it is
Speaker 1: their job to use whatever the cheapest form of like
Speaker 1: the system is designed to take advantage of child slavery
Speaker 1: and foreign markets. And then just to like give a
Speaker 1: little more detail on the unionizing thing, Like what unions
Speaker 1: were able to do was come to farms to like
Speaker 1: organize people because that was the only place that you
Speaker 1: could actually reach workers, because these corporations would bust people
Speaker 1: in from off location and you couldn't like reach them
Speaker 1: through the newspaper. A lot of times because maybe they
Speaker 1: didn't speak English, you know, all sorts of institutional reasons
Speaker 1: that they were hard to organize, so you needed to
Speaker 1: be able to come onto the farms to actually reach
Speaker 1: the workers and tell them what their rights were. And
Speaker 1: this is going to make it so that corporations once again,
Speaker 1: like they just no longer need to allow that to happen.
Speaker 1: So it once again becomes like their duty as like
Speaker 1: shareholder value creators to just fucking treat people like ship
Speaker 1: Like that is the bottom line of what of what
Speaker 1: these rulings mean. The language of law, you know how
Speaker 1: like like legally's for lack of a better term, I
Speaker 1: feel like the language of the law here in in
Speaker 1: the United States does a lot to distance you from
Speaker 1: the human reality of things. Like it is as simple
Speaker 1: as your your saying, jo Keys that it's it's child slavery,
Speaker 1: it's child slavery. What kind of decision are you going
Speaker 1: to make a decision that perpetuates child slavery? But then
Speaker 1: when you get into a long days long legal argument
Speaker 1: with the that's sort of you know, the language of
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even speak it because I'm just
Speaker 1: a dumb comedian, but like it's all of that high salutint,
Speaker 1: you know, dispassionate, non humanitarian language goes a long way
Speaker 1: to going like, well, of course we should give more
Speaker 1: rights to two corporations because you know, their corporations are
Speaker 1: bigger than us, so they deserve better rights or whatever
Speaker 1: the fun is going on in their head. It's just
Speaker 1: it's it's so anti social, it's so anti social. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you made it, like whatever the fucking logic is
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court is using. If you made it so
Speaker 1: that these people could come back and sue a company
Speaker 1: after they profited off of like treating them or you know,
Speaker 1: using their slave labor, then the corporation is going to
Speaker 1: spend a shipload of money to make sure that ship
Speaker 1: doesn't happen anymore. And now instead they're going to spend
Speaker 1: a shipload of money just ignoring that problem. So instead
Speaker 1: of using like American capitalism for good, we've just sort
Speaker 1: of passed the book. All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back and talk Nielsen ratings. Oh yes, sir,
Speaker 1: and we're back and all right, So, like we've talked
Speaker 1: a lot about streaming stuff throughout the history of this show,
Speaker 1: and it's mostly been based on you know, people trying
Speaker 1: to read the tea leaves, based on like what's trending
Speaker 1: on Netflix, what's trending on Prime, like all all these
Speaker 1: various things. And then there were some services that like
Speaker 1: took people's internal numbers. And also Nielsen did have a
Speaker 1: a measurement service that used the audio from TVs, like
Speaker 1: audio tracking devices on TVs to like read what, like
Speaker 1: what the ratings were for streaming content. But it was
Speaker 1: all like very round about and not very good. So
Speaker 1: this is this is like me introducing the fact that
Speaker 1: I think I'll definitely be talking more about Nielsen ratings
Speaker 1: just because I'm you know, I think it's the show's
Speaker 1: duty to like figure out what people are watching and
Speaker 1: what people are thinking about. That's like what the what
Speaker 1: the zygeist is? Can I can I go all for
Speaker 1: a minute? Yes? Please? It is insane to me that
Speaker 1: in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty one,
Speaker 1: that we still like networks still base a show's survival
Speaker 1: off of people sitting down and watching ship live. People
Speaker 1: have not been watching things live since like two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine. That trend has been going downward on a
Speaker 1: consistent basis. Now I'm not saying people don't watch things live.
Speaker 1: I know there are still a huge contingency of people
Speaker 1: in Middle America and not on the coast, or older
Speaker 1: people who still sit down watch their movies like it's
Speaker 1: nineteen eight or watch the TV shows like it's nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three, commercials and all, but you know, most of
Speaker 1: us don't. And I'm thinking of a show like Manifest.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of this that gang is
Speaker 1: Manifest fans, but I was NBC with stands for Nothing
Speaker 1: but cancelations just canceled their show. Canceled that show that
Speaker 1: just released a Netflix and said at number one in
Speaker 1: the entire fucking country as the most watch on Netflix
Speaker 1: for a week and a half, and NBC canceled it,
Speaker 1: and they canceled it while it was at number one,
Speaker 1: while it was a number one, And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand how people how some of these networks
Speaker 1: don't And I get it. I get it, don't come
Speaker 1: in my d ms like I don't understand it. I'm
Speaker 1: in entertainment. I understand better than the Gang. I get it,
Speaker 1: but like I get his advertising, I fucking get it.
Speaker 1: But I still don't understand how we can say a
Speaker 1: show is not popular when two point one million watch
Speaker 1: it on TV and then fifteen million and watch it
Speaker 1: on Netflix or Hulu, that show is fucking popular as hell.
Speaker 1: Like it infuriates me. So I'm so happy that Nielsen
Speaker 1: has finally woken up from their long dirt nap that
Speaker 1: they've been speaking and I decided to incorporate streaming into
Speaker 1: their goddamn numbers. Insane. I mean, I've always been shocked
Speaker 1: at how just asked backwards and like retrograde the TV
Speaker 1: rating systems were like for a long time. So let's
Speaker 1: let's just do a quick history of Nielsen ratings. So
Speaker 1: Nielsen actually began as a company in nineteen twenty three
Speaker 1: measuring the quote quality of conveyor belts and turbine generators
Speaker 1: the television of its day. Yes exactly. I wish sat
Speaker 1: around and watched turbines and only ten million people watching
Speaker 1: those turbines. Cancel it. Then in nineteen fifty they started
Speaker 1: measuring TV audiences, and at first they were just doing
Speaker 1: it with paper diaries that had to be filled out
Speaker 1: by families, and this was super biased because it was
Speaker 1: often just like the mom would do it. They didn't
Speaker 1: start like doing an electronic people meter until the eighties,
Speaker 1: So for thirty years, TV ratings were purely based on
Speaker 1: like mail in like response from people being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well here's what we watched. And then in the eighties
Speaker 1: it was like still I think partially based on that.
Speaker 1: It was like wild and no matter what, like from
Speaker 1: the start, Nielsen has been based on like a small
Speaker 1: number of people's responses to those queries like those mail
Speaker 1: in things or you know, if they are one of
Speaker 1: the families with a Nielsen box, but it's still like
Speaker 1: a very small portion and they're just then extrapolating based
Speaker 1: on those families like to say, well, that must mean
Speaker 1: that like this number of people were watching TV. Like
Speaker 1: if a hundred thousand people are in this Nielsen like
Speaker 1: survey for a show and and and like twenty thousand
Speaker 1: people watched the show, then they'll just up convert that
Speaker 1: number two. Well, this must mean two point one million
Speaker 1: and people watch this Shelton and like that that sounds stupid,
Speaker 1: it's and that's been what it is from the start,
Speaker 1: from the start, the very beginning, so recently like as
Speaker 1: are as recent as like earlier this year, Nielsen was
Speaker 1: kind of feuding with streaming networks for undercounting viewership because
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, they weren't sending feeling field agents to
Speaker 1: check on the boxes. Like that's the level of like
Speaker 1: antiquated it is, is that they had people like your
Speaker 1: local Nielsen delivery guy who would like come up and
Speaker 1: like check the back of your box like it was
Speaker 1: a fucking gas meter. And then like that's how you
Speaker 1: would know like what people are watching. And so because
Speaker 1: they weren't sending people out, Nielsen was just like people
Speaker 1: must stop be watching TV. I don't know how happened,
Speaker 1: and like, I mean, listen, I'm not a liar, but
Speaker 1: if one of my favorite shows was on the bubble,
Speaker 1: I'll come many me like, oh yeah, man, every house
Speaker 1: and every house in Illinois is watching Hangling Mr Cooper today. Man,
Speaker 1: everybody to keep that alive. Go ahead and keep take
Speaker 1: that off the bubble, like you can't. It is. It's so,
Speaker 1: it's so, it's funny. It's funny. It is so. Finally,
Speaker 1: they recently announced their new method to measure streaming numbers.
Speaker 1: And this is why I'm very excited, is because this method,
Speaker 1: at least just at the very like you know, idea phase,
Speaker 1: actually makes sense. Like, so before the only way that
Speaker 1: they were you they were figuring out what people were
Speaker 1: streaming was using audio recognition software in the Nielsen boxes.
Speaker 1: So it's only capturing like what was being watched on
Speaker 1: TV and Netflix, who like, actually most of our ships
Speaker 1: watched on like laptops and phones, So what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Anyways, This thing called the gauge actually measures
Speaker 1: Internet traffic through the router, so as long as you're
Speaker 1: watching a show on WiFi, it will capture that. And
Speaker 1: you know, there are are some big flaws with the tech,
Speaker 1: namely that it's still only measures TVs, which is insane,
Speaker 1: but they're at least like starting to capture like what
Speaker 1: people are watching, and it's like five weeks of data.
Speaker 1: But the five weeks of data is still pretty interesting,
Speaker 1: like Handmaid's Tales very popular, you guys, how how how
Speaker 1: I think that this is going to spell a disaster
Speaker 1: for Netflix, especially who's been who just keeps their numbers
Speaker 1: to themselves and has been very like private about their
Speaker 1: like viewership numbers. I don't it kind of reminds It
Speaker 1: reminds me of the the Facebook thing that was going
Speaker 1: on when like, you know, digital video was such a
Speaker 1: huge thing, and people were making all the advertising deals
Speaker 1: that were going on for digital video because Facebook would
Speaker 1: report certain numbers for for certain things, but those were
Speaker 1: all either inflated it or improperly recorded or something like that.
Speaker 1: And it just led to a huge crash of the
Speaker 1: you know, like online video world and that just completely
Speaker 1: like went away overnight. And it feels like this could
Speaker 1: happen if Netflix is as like, has been cag about
Speaker 1: certain things, you know, for more than more than they
Speaker 1: might let on. I was also surprised in the article
Speaker 1: that you guys pulled that Disney Plus only has one
Speaker 1: percent of the streaming share. Interesting Disney Plus is low
Speaker 1: espl Max is apparently really low, like Mayor of East Town,
Speaker 1: like never broke into the top ten even though it
Speaker 1: was like a you know, massively buzzy show that everybody
Speaker 1: was talking about. I think that's more indication to you know,
Speaker 1: was popular on that on on Twitter, is not necessarily
Speaker 1: indicative it was popular in the world. And you know,
Speaker 1: one day we'll get that and every facet of life, politics, sports, everything,
Speaker 1: you know, that's another conversation for another day. To answer
Speaker 1: your question, Adam, I don't think Netflix cares. Let me
Speaker 1: put on my tinfoil hat real quick. Netflix is like
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, is Netflix worried because people are pulling
Speaker 1: their content and putting it on their own streaming service,
Speaker 1: which is funny to me because Netflix is the model
Speaker 1: for that, which is why people you know, Edgar, former
Speaker 1: co host of Culture Kings, says something to me that
Speaker 1: always stuck with me about Netflix. And it's like, Adam,
Speaker 1: if you gave me your dog to walk every day
Speaker 1: because you didn't feel like walking it, and I walked it,
Speaker 1: and and in the process of me walking your dog,
Speaker 1: I I started to realize that people like really liked
Speaker 1: your dog and like your dogs start doing tricks, and
Speaker 1: I let your dog do tricks, and I would get
Speaker 1: paid money for your dog doing tricks. So I would
Speaker 1: take your dog on a walk every day, have him
Speaker 1: do tricks, pocket the money, and you realize, like, hold on,
Speaker 1: my fucker, give me my dog back. I want to
Speaker 1: make money too. Like that's what That's what's happening with
Speaker 1: like a lot of these streaming service is like they
Speaker 1: have realized what Netflix had. It was like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Netflix doesn't care about it anymore. Netflix
Speaker 1: is trying to become a production company, which they very
Speaker 1: much are already, and they are a production company that
Speaker 1: is very unique in the way that all of their
Speaker 1: stuff that they produced, their movies and things like that,
Speaker 1: it's all regulated to just Netflix, so all the numbers
Speaker 1: and everything that they have, which is why they don't
Speaker 1: care about people sharing passwords. That's why they don't care
Speaker 1: about It's not about they are building their cash at
Speaker 1: up to be the next Paramount, to be the next Universal,
Speaker 1: to be the next Warner Brothers, and I think all
Speaker 1: the other ship they just don't care about because you know,
Speaker 1: as long as people are subscribing, it's all good. When
Speaker 1: you look at the actual numbers and like the top ten,
Speaker 1: it seems like when there's a hit show or a
Speaker 1: hit movie, like Coming to America Too was actually a
Speaker 1: massive hit. Borat was a massive hit for like a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and The Handmaid's Tale, like these shows
Speaker 1: are big hits that like pop up and like we'll
Speaker 1: hit number one for a couple of weeks, but everything else,
Speaker 1: like Netflix is the default all the Like Who Killed
Speaker 1: Sarah was like this show that had been out for
Speaker 1: like six weeks that was at number two the week
Speaker 1: that the Handmade's Tale, uh, premiered like Jupiter's Legacy, right,
Speaker 1: Jupiter's Legacy was a show that they canceled after like
Speaker 1: three weeks that was at number three. Like there they are.
Speaker 1: I think these numbers have revealed that actually Netflix like
Speaker 1: has a huge market share and then like other companies
Speaker 1: are kind of playing for second and it's just like
Speaker 1: a week tweak thing. But like for instance, at a loss,
Speaker 1: I think, so yeah, yeah, I mean they're debt spending
Speaker 1: like crazy, like they and then every every year they
Speaker 1: always promote like, here's the more here's a new most
Speaker 1: expensive show ever made. It was Altered Carbon And I
Speaker 1: think they're doing the same kind of marketing thing with
Speaker 1: the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live action remake. That's, you know,
Speaker 1: the most expensive television show ever made. And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: how are you doing that? Right? Yeah? Netflix is pretty
Speaker 1: much the fanels of the stream, like they d game.
Speaker 1: It's the long game, you know, it's the long game
Speaker 1: that's automatters. And then once they finally succeed, you know,
Speaker 1: once they blip half of the stream and services off
Speaker 1: the map, then they'll just sit down in the field
Speaker 1: and look out into the to the grass and the
Speaker 1: sun and smile and then the movie you'll end like
Speaker 1: they are that is Netflix, like they they will operate
Speaker 1: at a loss. They'll spend all the money like they're
Speaker 1: looking at the long game, and you know what, funk
Speaker 1: with it? I've with it. The way they get TV
Speaker 1: show to disappear is by you know, the Paramount Plus
Speaker 1: taking it and like making people watch it on Paramount Plus.
Speaker 1: That's like okay, and nobody watches that anymore. Yeah, nobody
Speaker 1: like like, well, I guess I'm done watching the Office. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That really seems to be the way it is. So
Speaker 1: just like some surprise things. So I always talked about
Speaker 1: how Amazon Prime, like there's all these like good shows
Speaker 1: that are being hidden on Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime is
Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky basketball team of streaming services, and
Speaker 1: that like these amazing talents are just there and like
Speaker 1: don't even play because John Calipari is a shitty coach.
Speaker 1: And so I I talked about like Patriot is a
Speaker 1: big show that like I've watched. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people have watched and liked, and like nobody really
Speaker 1: has seen it, like barely has some Wikipedia page. So
Speaker 1: the Underground Railroad which is Barry Jenkins is new kind
Speaker 1: of anthology or not anthology series, it's a series is
Speaker 1: actually breaking into the top tent. So like that's just
Speaker 1: super impressive, and I think, you know, people should should
Speaker 1: be watching that, and I'm gonna watch it for Jack
Speaker 1: Streaming Corner and I'll talk about it on the show.
Speaker 1: But that's just kind of impressive that it even made
Speaker 1: it that far. The other thing you're noticing is like
Speaker 1: just how much of an advantage TV shows have because
Speaker 1: the way that they measure everything is in minutes, and
Speaker 1: so like a movie will occasionally go to number one,
Speaker 1: like I was saying with Coming to America, to the
Speaker 1: most recent weeks that we have data for Zack Snyder's
Speaker 1: Army of the Dead has like performed extremely well, but
Speaker 1: then like eventually they'll fade away. So like that makes
Speaker 1: sense of like the direction that content creation has gone,
Speaker 1: and like the amount of money that they put into
Speaker 1: Cowboy Bebop and you altered carbon and ship like that,
Speaker 1: because you know, the more minutes you have, the better.
Speaker 1: But I do also think that that like we shouldn't
Speaker 1: lose sight of the power of movies because like this
Speaker 1: is not taking into account like how many people have
Speaker 1: actually watched movies. Because it's like, if ten times a
Speaker 1: number of people watch Mohanna, then watch The Handmaid's Tale,
Speaker 1: Mohanna still won't make the top ten, and Handmaid's Tale
Speaker 1: will be at number one based off just episodes alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just the number number of minutes. Yeah. So just like
Speaker 1: looking at the five weeks that we have so far,
Speaker 1: Mitchell's Versus the Machines seems to be another piece of
Speaker 1: pop culture that has been seen by enough people is
Speaker 1: like a you know, many hundred millions of dollars sized
Speaker 1: hit in terms of the number of people who saw it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw that didn't, but
Speaker 1: I want to watch it. Yeah, it's good. It's like
Speaker 1: a good family movie. Also, Mowanna is still Queen. She's
Speaker 1: That movie is still in the top ten movies streamed
Speaker 1: this week, despite the fact that it's like nothing happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't like release new scenes or something. It's just
Speaker 1: been there because parents are lazy today. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Parents, just say, kid, I don't want to
Speaker 1: raise you. Watch Disney Plus and just watch mo Wanna
Speaker 1: as the joke but supposed to as opposed to my
Speaker 1: parents who let me watch Jaws a hundred times before
Speaker 1: I was five years old. But I also want to
Speaker 1: talk about this show that I don't know much about
Speaker 1: that is like frequently in the top ten on these
Speaker 1: Nielsen streaming ratings, and that is Lucifer. To Kis, I
Speaker 1: know you are familiar with Lucifer. What can you what
Speaker 1: can you tell us? Let me tell y'all a little
Speaker 1: bit about Lucifer. Lucifer's dope a ship. All right, So
Speaker 1: Lucifer was actually one of those shows that was on
Speaker 1: Fox that guy canceled Netflix Safe, so it was a
Speaker 1: safe show. Uh first, let me just say Lucifer is
Speaker 1: about the devil Lucifer who comes to earth, but he's
Speaker 1: actually a good guy. Uh, he's still an angel. So
Speaker 1: it really is a cool show because it takes the
Speaker 1: mythology of those of those characters, Lucifer, God, all the angels,
Speaker 1: and really teaches you to mythology beyond just what religious
Speaker 1: people want us to know, which is God good, Devil bad. Right,
Speaker 1: And so it's so fun And Lucifer's a detective consultant
Speaker 1: with the L A p. D. Which is very funny.
Speaker 1: He's got to know where the action is, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: helps solves crimes. He's also like, he's always fucking, he
Speaker 1: loves drinking, he never lies. Like. It's such a fun show.
Speaker 1: And it was really fun on Fox too. But the
Speaker 1: thing about Fox or not Fox, but the old TV
Speaker 1: model used to be you get twenty plus episodes in
Speaker 1: the season, right, and when that was the case, twenty
Speaker 1: plus episodes of an hour long show is a lot
Speaker 1: of content. So it's a lot of filler while they're
Speaker 1: trying to tell their overall story of the season. So
Speaker 1: when it came to Netflix, they bumped that down to ten, thirteen,
Speaker 1: sixteen episodes, which means they can just tell a complete story.
Speaker 1: And the show has gotten so much better on Netflix.
Speaker 1: And it was even but it was good on Fox.
Speaker 1: But it's gotten so much better on Netflix because now
Speaker 1: they can do stuff like Curse, they can show Booty,
Speaker 1: they can like actually tell one story and tell it
Speaker 1: very succinctly without a lot of filler. Excuse me, without
Speaker 1: a lot of Fellers. I'm crying, crying, man, I'm crying
Speaker 1: this season this fast season two. I washed it with
Speaker 1: a homie of mine. Shout out Allison, who there was
Speaker 1: moments we like cried tears like I cried. I cried
Speaker 1: these thug tears, but they were still tears nonetheless, and
Speaker 1: it was It was fucking great. It's a good show.
Speaker 1: Dennis Haybert is God in this show, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: It is such a fun show. If you have not
Speaker 1: watch Lucifer, please watch it. The first three seasons are
Speaker 1: still very good. They are long, but once you get
Speaker 1: to season four, when it came to Netflix, the show
Speaker 1: is gonna take off in a way that you're like,
Speaker 1: this is one of the best shows on TV now.
Speaker 1: So definitely check out Lucifer. It's good. It's very good.
Speaker 1: I mean the dovit you like, can't miss with making
Speaker 1: the devil like the protagonist of your show or epic
Speaker 1: poem or rock song like it's there's just nothing but
Speaker 1: classics there, and you root for him like you root form.
Speaker 1: I don't want to give too much away in case
Speaker 1: anybody's gonna watch it, but you root for him because
Speaker 1: like you forget the mythology. Well I forget the mythology.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's out there devil caping on
Speaker 1: which you are fantastic, but you forget like he's an angel,
Speaker 1: like he's an angel, he's actually got son like, so
Speaker 1: they really have fun with that mythology. And this show, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's dope. It's a good ass show. I recommended
Speaker 1: highly Yeah, and I'm gonna recommend Paradise Lost by John Milton.
Speaker 1: Oh well, people can check that out also a very
Speaker 1: good Uh, Paradise Paradise Lost. What should recommend, Adam was,
Speaker 1: what's what's what's the show that we should be watching
Speaker 1: that you recommend? I well, I'm nothing very current. Since
Speaker 1: the beginning of Pandemic, I went all in on Star Trek.
Speaker 1: I had never seen it, and then now I'm wrapping
Speaker 1: up Deep Space nine and I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys have seen any Star Trek or not, but I
Speaker 1: really end up saying it a little bit. I really
Speaker 1: like Deep Space nine because it's like, well, the Next
Speaker 1: Generation is very like, you know, good guys win, bad
Speaker 1: guys die sort of thing, you know, like and you
Speaker 1: get got kind of weird. But like Deep Space nine
Speaker 1: is like, you know, the bad guys are sometimes good
Speaker 1: and the good guys are sometimes bad, and you're left
Speaker 1: often with moral ambiguity at the end, and it feels
Speaker 1: more like a show for adults than you know a
Speaker 1: family show. Um, and Avery Brooks is one of the
Speaker 1: most fascinating actors I've ever seen, um, you know, on
Speaker 1: big screen, small screen as Captain Cisco. He's got a
Speaker 1: very strange, weird energy that is so captivating. So if
Speaker 1: you have any familiarity but Star Trek, check out Deep
Speaker 1: Space nine recommendation from the nineties. And that is not
Speaker 1: streaming on Netflix as far as I can tell, it is. Oh,
Speaker 1: there you go. I don't know why the Paramount has
Speaker 1: let it has let all the Star Trek stuff stay
Speaker 1: up on streaming all around, and I think it's just
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's see I'm waiting for the day
Speaker 1: where it's just gone and and it is only on
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus but it and then I'm done. You're done.
Speaker 1: You're done. Well, Adam Jackies, it's been such a pleasure
Speaker 1: having both you guys on today. Adam, where can people
Speaker 1: find you? Follow you? Here? You all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter at Adam Bozar. You
Speaker 1: should listen to my my show Left Handed Radio. It's
Speaker 1: not that long. It's very funny. I do it with
Speaker 1: my partner and all things and Rubanova. Um, we've been
Speaker 1: doing it for about since two thousand and ten, with
Speaker 1: some breaks here and there. But if you guys like
Speaker 1: the show, I hope, I hope you like my show. Yeah,

Speaker 1: and there, but yeah, we like reinvigorated it, and yeah,
Speaker 1: we brought it back in the pandemic and doing it weekly.
Speaker 1: We used to do it monthly. It was like an
Speaker 1: hour long it. We used to do like album length
Speaker 1: sketch comedy episodes once a month, and then we decided
Speaker 1: to start just releasing one sketch every week. And it's
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun and we've been trying to
Speaker 1: take it as weird places as we can. So love it.
Speaker 1: Left hand Rated dot com. Yeah yeah. And is there
Speaker 1: a tweet or some of the work of social media
Speaker 1: you've been enjoying. Oh, I just discovered to twitters that
Speaker 1: I really like I kind of trying to use Twitter,
Speaker 1: Twitter to be more entertaining instead of you know, keeping
Speaker 1: up with everybody's panic and anxiety breakdowns. Um to tweet
Speaker 1: Twitter accounts. I've I've just discovered one is um Petfinder names.
Speaker 1: Petfinder names, so all these like I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys have ever been on pet Finder, but animals
Speaker 1: shelters and and and rescue places, they like to give
Speaker 1: wacky names to the to the pets and maybe like
Speaker 1: rope somebody in so you can get like photos of
Speaker 1: a dog named Mr Worldwide. You know, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. And then another one that I just discovered
Speaker 1: is called Old French c Time, which these old illustrations
Speaker 1: from a French newspaper in the nineteen hundreds early nineteen
Speaker 1: hundreds were you know, before photography. They had to draw
Speaker 1: like all these disasters. So yeah, there's like a like
Speaker 1: the guy that like made that parachute suit and jumped
Speaker 1: off the Eiffel Tower. He passed out his parachute suit
Speaker 1: and he died. Yeah, there's like a drawing of the
Speaker 1: man in his suit. Like, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's a great way to kill an afternoon. Old French
Speaker 1: crime so it's them basically drawing like the crime in
Speaker 1: progress for the purposes of like the newspaper, Yes, and
Speaker 1: it all and they all look like they're being staged
Speaker 1: for this, for this theater. You know, they all look
Speaker 1: like plays. It's a big dramatic post. Where can people
Speaker 1: find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh well,
Speaker 1: of course you can find me in the streets, and
Speaker 1: then if you want to find me, be on that

Speaker 1: guest host, I got three. First, this is another save
Speaker 1: Manifest tweet, you know, Save Manifest. It was a very
Speaker 1: good show and they ended it on the cliffhanger, So
Speaker 1: fuck u, NBC. But it comes from at Miles x
Speaker 1: McKay Miles with a y. He retweeted a picture that
Speaker 1: is thunderstorm captured at high altitude and is the wing
Speaker 1: of a plane with a huge ass like thunderstorm like
Speaker 1: and clouds in the window so you can see it
Speaker 1: like right outside the plane, which is how Manifest starts.
Speaker 1: And then he says, next thing, you know, I'm missing
Speaker 1: for five and a half years, so cracked me up.
Speaker 1: Love that another one comes. Netflix is gonna bring that
Speaker 1: back right like they just passed on They just passed
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, I guess is it super expensive or
Speaker 1: something it must be or you know, they gotta save
Speaker 1: money in space for their show about you know, dating
Speaker 1: and animal costumes, so maybe that's it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: King of Twitter, King Josiah fifty four, The Detroit Pistons
Speaker 1: just got the first NBA draft pick selection, and then
Speaker 1: he he had a tweet that says, with the first pick,
Speaker 1: the Pistons select, and then Cade Cunningham, who many people
Speaker 1: think is going to be the first pick, and then
Speaker 1: he has a gift of Cade running from people chasing them,
Speaker 1: basically saying he doesn't want to go to the Pistons, uh,
Speaker 1: which you know it's true, who wants to go to Detroit?

Speaker 1: their photo shoots, and then she tweeted if my baby
Speaker 1: comes out ugly, I will pretend like I care about
Speaker 1: her privacy and hide her face from the public, which
Speaker 1: I respect that babies be ugly. Sometimes sometimes you'll need
Speaker 1: to stop showing your ugly as babies to the world.
Speaker 1: So I'm telling you, babies are always ugly for the
Speaker 1: first few days. You need to give your baby a time.
Speaker 1: It's like a good steak or a soup fla. It
Speaker 1: needs to settle. Its head is not even in the
Speaker 1: right shape. That's not what it's gonna look like. My
