Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, episode five
Speaker 1: of Induction of My Heart Radio. This is a podcast
Speaker 1: where we take a deep dive into American's share consciousness
Speaker 1: and say, up top, fuck all the Christian faith based
Speaker 1: healthcare plans. Apparently one of these snuck and head into
Speaker 1: our algorithmically generated add feed. So we just said dope, dope.
Speaker 1: It adds on the show, and we'll start off saying
Speaker 1: fuck them. Yeah, advertisers would love to have something like
Speaker 1: inserted into the fabric of the show that tells you
Speaker 1: a little bit about them, So in honor of that,
Speaker 1: A couple of differences from a normal health insurance company
Speaker 1: is that they take more money from what people pay them,
Speaker 1: like the health insurance companies which are like I thought,
Speaker 1: we're the height of evil. But these health insurance companies,
Speaker 1: like the normal ones, are captive, taking twenty and putting
Speaker 1: that towards overhead, and like CEO salaries, these will take
Speaker 1: up to like seventy and then put it towards he's
Speaker 1: got not against it, you know. That's why it's a
Speaker 1: good Christian I believe in these plans. And another big
Speaker 1: difference is that they can disqualify people from healthcare coverage
Speaker 1: for whatever they want, including tobacco, youth, having smoked like
Speaker 1: a single cigarette, or having had premarital set anything outside
Speaker 1: of you know, the teachings of God. Well that's why
Speaker 1: I'm playing real. I got real low coverage. I'm a
Speaker 1: version who doesn't smoke. That's right. Anyways, happy to take
Speaker 1: your money as whole. Uh. It is Friday, July two.

Speaker 1: American like Needia to watch, I will go to this
Speaker 1: one video rental store and that was like one of
Speaker 1: the six English language rooms. I'm like, yo, I'm taking this,
Speaker 1: And I watched that ship till the tape melted. I
Speaker 1: had all of Blockbuster to choose from, and I still
Speaker 1: probably watched that a dozen times. When I was not
Speaker 1: about it. I think I went and saw Police Academy
Speaker 1: six in theaters. I was nine years old. I was
Speaker 1: way too old for six. Six is like the one
Speaker 1: where there's it's like city under siege. It's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: not good, kind of like took itself a little too seriously.
Speaker 1: And that was I think the first time I remember
Speaker 1: seeing a movie in theaters and being like, oh, this
Speaker 1: isn't very good. Prior to that, I was just like,
Speaker 1: movies are greatvies are my favorite thing. Just to bring
Speaker 1: in the eight geyst again. Alison mac Nexium just sentenced

Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody on discord who puts the group effort.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to see. And yeah, I got a lot
Speaker 1: of people came to help me out, but this one
Speaker 1: has to go out to the room specifically. Yes back Actually, gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't know when it was. It was a few well,
Speaker 1: I want to say the few weeks ago, but time
Speaker 1: is so strange where it's actually Miles who had mentioned,
Speaker 1: oh this was back in the r h C P
Speaker 1: k Oh, yeah that's going on. You mentioned like no
Speaker 1: one really comes out here saying system of it down.
Speaker 1: I was like, hmm, interesting, that's where it started and
Speaker 1: what you wanted to do. But you know, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it requires a lot of product. Yeah, like those ads,
Speaker 1: it's hard to do with one single voice on one breath. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I've I've rehearsed it many times, but um, it's still
Speaker 1: thank you. I mean, where are you come to us from.
Speaker 1: I'm in Japan, yep, yep, watching a lot of police
Speaker 1: Academy five. What's going on? Well, the probably I probably
Speaker 1: used the same video store that Miles mentioned, but yeah,
Speaker 1: they do have a much wider array. Yeah, especially like
Speaker 1: American comedies and stuff, but it kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: I didn't actually realize there was a Police Academy five
Speaker 1: and six. I had only ever heard of two, but
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, more in the nineties, so just
Speaker 1: just a little after like my I would say, because
Speaker 1: I moved to America in the ninety four, that's about
Speaker 1: when my Americans like media. Yeah, that's because my dad
Speaker 1: was barely watching American stuff when we were there, and
Speaker 1: you know, or I guess back here, so so yeah,
Speaker 1: I I had no idea, but you know that kind
Speaker 1: of like comedy definitely tracks. I think it makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense that it would be very populate. It's
Speaker 1: very easy, yeah, like a stuff because you know, people
Speaker 1: like big chested women in their comedies and eighties comedies
Speaker 1: did not disappoint in that aspect, and like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: noticing something, I see that, right, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well what was hitting in ninety four? I'm trying to think, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, was that Jurassic Park or was that Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, actually I didn't watch any of those
Speaker 1: movies when I was younger, but you know, obviously that
Speaker 1: was like the and part of like the Disney Renaissance.
Speaker 1: So I was able to watch some Disney movies in Japan.
Speaker 1: But then because my uh, because I have you know,
Speaker 1: family here are in the US. Also, I did get
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of early nineties, late eighties stuff,
Speaker 1: so like goonies, and my family made sure I watched
Speaker 1: Adam's Family movies and stuff like that. But classics, classic, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like trying to think back, like I remember
Speaker 1: watching when It comes to in the US, probably like
Speaker 1: a Little Princess. And for some reason I imputed very
Speaker 1: hard of the note the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the
Speaker 1: Disney one. Yeah, that was a that was a big
Speaker 1: movie for me as a kid. I'm not sure why.
Speaker 1: And oh yes I remember because just a few years later,
Speaker 1: my first R rated movie was The Patriot. Oh my god, terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible one to go in on first are you very
Speaker 1: strangely recommended by my fourth grade teacher because he was like, oh, hey, kids,
Speaker 1: you just learned about the Revolutionary War in school. This
Speaker 1: movie is coming out about the Revolutionary War. You should
Speaker 1: go watch it. And I asked my dad and he
Speaker 1: said he's rooted. Are are you sure? And I said yeah,
Speaker 1: and he said, okay, rated, are you sure? Yeah, starrying
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who are not American. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the I think. I think it's the first battle,
Speaker 1: a cannonball takes a guy's head off, and I just
Speaker 1: still remember going like, oh my god, I didn't know
Speaker 1: movies could do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was. I
Speaker 1: was big on that. That was that was that was
Speaker 1: like post Brave Heart and yeah, it was like what
Speaker 1: if Brave Heart but America? Yeah. Yeah. Another fun fact
Speaker 1: cinematographer is Zoey Deschanel's and Emily Deschanel's dad, Caleb. What
Speaker 1: that is got weird facts on deck today because I
Speaker 1: just know their cousin and I'm like and I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: my my uncle did this movie. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Yeah, I'm not great, hunchbackup. Notre Dame
Speaker 1: is also I think the it's like the keystone in
Speaker 1: the kind of look sist empire, the like beauty ocracy
Speaker 1: that is the Disney World, because it's the one movie
Speaker 1: where like the protagonist doesn't get the girl. There's like, yeah, worst,
Speaker 1: But you know the thing is really interesting is I
Speaker 1: totally didn't remember that, Like I remember of course Quasimodo
Speaker 1: and then Esmeralda Like I used to be obsessed with
Speaker 1: her because she's one of the few brown girls we
Speaker 1: had from Disney. I guess, yeah yeah. And then like
Speaker 1: when I got older and I started decided to watch
Speaker 1: the movie again, I was like, who's this guy over
Speaker 1: here who's like, oh, like hot and blonde and stuff,
Speaker 1: like I don't remember him, but he's actually like very
Speaker 1: important to them the whole story. They will have humans
Speaker 1: and mermaids like get together. But the one boundary that
Speaker 1: you cannot cross is the boundary between beautiful people and
Speaker 1: U goes. They're just like no way, sorry, as they
Speaker 1: create them to be terrible monstrouss. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1: All right, I mean we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners just a couple of the things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. Uh, we got our first Republican on the
Speaker 1: January six commission, Oh Trader alert. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: check in with the Office of Proudly Belligerent Police Officers.
Speaker 1: We're gonna check in with the Pacific Northwest heatwave. We're
Speaker 1: gonna look at the rise in psychics and spiritualism around
Speaker 1: both pandemics and uh just generally throughout history because we're
Speaker 1: in the midst of one right now. All of that
Speaker 1: and plenty more. But first, you mean, we like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are? Okay? So my search
Speaker 1: history is Empress Elizabeth of Austria. Okay. So this is
Speaker 1: like gently related to my podcast and that. I was
Speaker 1: kind of researching some Italian shows and seeing their availability
Speaker 1: because basically there's kind of like this, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what to describe them, just not huge animation company.
Speaker 1: It's not like the main one in Italy, but they're
Speaker 1: kind of like, I guess, the second rate groups, So
Speaker 1: they do a lot of Italian dubs of other parts.
Speaker 1: US is mostly from Japan, but they also make their
Speaker 1: own cartoons. But their cartoons are all kind of weird.
Speaker 1: But they did make one that was a magical girl
Speaker 1: show back in called Angels Friends, which is adapted from
Speaker 1: a comic. So they were showing that their most recent
Speaker 1: thing that they've done the past few years is called
Speaker 1: Cissy the Young Empress, and I thought, well, that's weird.
Speaker 1: Why is there a character named Cissy. But then I
Speaker 1: did more research and found that this was actually like
Speaker 1: multi level like adaptation of an adaptation of an adaptation
Speaker 1: based on the life of Elizabeth of Austria, who was
Speaker 1: in the mid eighteen hundreds. Uh. I guess first the
Speaker 1: princess who became an empress, and it's like so fascinating.
Speaker 1: Her actual story is very fascinating, but I started watching
Speaker 1: this show because there were many movies made about her
Speaker 1: and she. I guess she had a very romanticized like
Speaker 1: marriage because her she married, well, the Emperor of Austria,
Speaker 1: remember France. The first was yeah from Justice. I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at the Wikipedia page, big yeah, yeah. So they
Speaker 1: married because he was supposed to get married to her
Speaker 1: sister and their cousins. So it's like whatever because royalty,
Speaker 1: I guess. But when they came to meet him, he
Speaker 1: was like, but actually she's hot. The younger sister. I'm
Speaker 1: feeling her a bit more weird, like a what a
Speaker 1: what a scummy move? What the wild thing is like?
Speaker 1: So it's considered like the first time that he went
Speaker 1: against his own mother's wishes, empress mother's wishes, and it's
Speaker 1: like all romanticized. It's like he fell in love with her,
Speaker 1: and he was always madly in love with her, but
Speaker 1: there's no evidence that it was like reciprocated. And she
Speaker 1: was very much and I think the reason why her
Speaker 1: story has been adapted so many times is that she's
Speaker 1: very much like not like the other girls. She had
Speaker 1: all these different interests, and she like gymnastics and she
Speaker 1: hated court life and HAPs very so like she always
Speaker 1: had a really hard time, a really hard time like
Speaker 1: fitting in basically, and so there were movies made about her,
Speaker 1: Austrian movies and like the fifties, and then in the
Speaker 1: nineties there was a resurgence, and then there was a
Speaker 1: French Canadian animation about her life, and based on that
Speaker 1: animation came this Italian animation, which you know already in
Speaker 1: her life story, even if it's this very romantic sized
Speaker 1: version where she's actually reciprocating these feelings for France. Joseph
Speaker 1: the first is a very wild story, but this one
Speaker 1: decided that we needed to disnify it up a bit,
Speaker 1: so they turned it into a magical girl series where
Speaker 1: she has a magic bracelet and she could talk to
Speaker 1: an animal and she has to like protect all the
Speaker 1: animals in Austria. I guess it's just like so weird.
Speaker 1: It's because it's like looking at her actual story, it's
Speaker 1: very fascinating. Uh. And and she even gets assassinated like
Speaker 1: by an anarchist who didn't really want to assassinate her.
Speaker 1: They were is trying to choose anybody he was royal,
Speaker 1: Like she just hated anyone with the name Franz. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, and just there's just so much
Speaker 1: to her story and um, she also almost definitely had
Speaker 1: an eating disorder and like she had a lot of
Speaker 1: difficulty because the first two kids were girls. There's like
Speaker 1: a whole huge thing with her store that's like very fascinating,
Speaker 1: like could be very interesting, but everyone focused on this
Speaker 1: like supposed romance and so on to look at that
Speaker 1: than like internalized misogyny of Like I was just reading
Speaker 1: on this Wikipedia article that she was really concerned with
Speaker 1: her like outward looks and like and things like that.
Speaker 1: And then like she stopped posing her portraits. She stopt
Speaker 1: her portraits when she was like in her thirties, Like
Speaker 1: she lived until fifty nine when she was assassinated, and
Speaker 1: like she by the time she was thirty two, she
Speaker 1: was like I'm not going to post reports anymore, and
Speaker 1: no more, no photos please, Like it was very much.
Speaker 1: You know, she was very strict about not letting anyone
Speaker 1: see her age, like she didn't want that to be
Speaker 1: memorialized or whatever. Like it was. It's like very it's
Speaker 1: so much like she's so obsessed with her beauty and everything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this adaptation is so fascinating and I
Speaker 1: started watching one of Us in a damn up to
Speaker 1: the third episode because I cannot stop. It's such a
Speaker 1: train wreck. It's like she's always saying these feminist lines
Speaker 1: like oh, well, if you want France, like if France
Speaker 1: wants to come ask me for my hand in marriage,
Speaker 1: like he has to check with me before he checks
Speaker 1: in with my dead father or whatever. And like in
Speaker 1: the first episode she decides to go horseback riding, but
Speaker 1: like standing on her horse and like, yeah, she's very much.
Speaker 1: She's not like the other girls. It's constantly this thing
Speaker 1: and it's just like so weird and it's so candy
Speaker 1: colored too, because it's supposed to be like I guess
Speaker 1: selling dolls to little Italian girls or something. It's just wild.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like this rabbit hole I could not
Speaker 1: stop going down, And now I'm kind of obsessed. Is
Speaker 1: the Italian animation company or mentioning the ones behind Titanic
Speaker 1: the Legend goes On? He maybe it's um definitely second
Speaker 1: rate that whoever made those ones they have um like
Speaker 1: if you go to like their so their YouTube has
Speaker 1: Manda World, but they have not a lot of original stuff.
Speaker 1: But yes they have the legend of the Titanic and
Speaker 1: in Search of the Titanic. Okay, but not the legend
Speaker 1: goes On because that's right, that's one that is legendary
Speaker 1: on the Beckdel cast. Yeah, fully right. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's that one. But it's just it's so wild,
Speaker 1: like there are three seasons and I'm like, are they
Speaker 1: going to get to her assassination? Where are they going
Speaker 1: with this? Like assassination? What is? What is something you
Speaker 1: think is over it? Aggressive? Phone games? Like smartphone games?
Speaker 1: What's the what's aggressive? Or give us what's the spectrum here?
Speaker 1: So I mean I am a very casual gamer when
Speaker 1: it comes to my smartphone, Like I play Candy Crush,
Speaker 1: Soda Saga every other day or whatever. If I'm like
Speaker 1: super bored, my main thing is a switch. But you know,
Speaker 1: just like everyone whenever a little boarded there, they'll just yet.
Speaker 1: But I'm also a big fan of scrabble, So I
Speaker 1: got Scrabble Go and I was really enjoying it, especially
Speaker 1: because you can't set it up to play in different languages.
Speaker 1: But it's very needy. I cannot believe how needy this
Speaker 1: game is. Like it will forfeit your turn if you
Speaker 1: don't play a turn in a specific amount of time.
Speaker 1: Are you playing against a human or against the computer?
Speaker 1: You can do either, but even if you're playing against
Speaker 1: the computer, it's like, no one's waiting for me. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I would not mind like waiting for someone else
Speaker 1: to take their turn and just have a bunch of
Speaker 1: games open and just like be very very slow with it.
Speaker 1: That for me is fine, you know, like I don't don't.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why. And then like it would like
Speaker 1: when I turned on the notifications for it would just
Speaker 1: keep coming up, like, hey, you have a turn to play,
Speaker 1: someone play their turn. You should go into play, And
Speaker 1: it's like I'm not. I don't have all the time
Speaker 1: in the world. It's just like, you know, five minutes
Speaker 1: here and there to try playing scrabble. That's why I
Speaker 1: don't let any notifications on my phone really like I
Speaker 1: have to. Like that's the one way I can keep
Speaker 1: my piece like in terms of not being because there
Speaker 1: you could be you'll constantly be bombarded with like all
Speaker 1: kinds of alerts. Like if you have social media stuff on,
Speaker 1: you know, like text stuff, you have threads that go
Speaker 1: off all the time. Uh it's yeah, I'm I find
Speaker 1: myself being less inclined to entertain the notifications. But for games,
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't go pass puzzles because I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to learn a whole new level of dexterity because
Speaker 1: when I see like the more involved like action games
Speaker 1: that are on iPhones and ship I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I just I just want to use one finger and
Speaker 1: like point at poke at my phone. Yeah right right, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. Are you Miles, do you funk with
Speaker 1: Candy Crush or Candy Crush soda Saga? M not so?
Speaker 1: I used to. I'm a big Bejeweled fan. Yeah, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: specifically the mind when you go like the timed mining
Speaker 1: one where you gotta like really keep the fucking the
Speaker 1: matches going to to break the earth and and do
Speaker 1: it all in time. That's my favorite thing to do
Speaker 1: on the toilet. That's where you have to play puzzle
Speaker 1: games of course. Yeah. That and or like reading for
Speaker 1: the show, like I have my routine. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: checked my news to my bejeweled you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: A great image for for all the listeners. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: also the day is a must. You know, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be on the Miles program, the Miles Morning Program,
Speaker 1: you must have the Today. The squatty potty are in
Speaker 1: the in the in the tush sheet. Sometimes I'm like
Speaker 1: unnerved by how quickly time will disappear those games when
Speaker 1: you're playing like candy. That's called being in a flow state,
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, it's a very liminal place. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Read dubbed movies and
Speaker 1: TV shows and whatever else you like watching that has
Speaker 1: people speaking in it. So this is something support of
Speaker 1: course for my podcast. It comes up a lot because
Speaker 1: most of my listeners are in the US, but most
Speaker 1: of the stuff we talk about is in Japan, so
Speaker 1: people often wonder, oh, should we watch the original version?
Speaker 1: But there are sometimes where it's actually better to watch
Speaker 1: something dubbed in another language, maybe because the voice acting
Speaker 1: is better or like the dialogue is improved, Like do
Speaker 1: you even put it in the terms of like an
Speaker 1: American thing. There are certain things that like are more
Speaker 1: cringe watching in the original English than when I see it,
Speaker 1: for example, dubbed in Japanese. So like a thing for
Speaker 1: me is, um, my husband loves the movie Cats and Dogs.
Speaker 1: That's like one of his big childhood movies. Right, It's
Speaker 1: like it's it's very silly and it's always talking. All
Speaker 1: these talking cats and dogs in the are evil or
Speaker 1: whatever want to take over the world. Yeah, so the
Speaker 1: movie is like low key really racist because they have
Speaker 1: all these racist stereotypes for like the animals. But it's
Speaker 1: like there's like a yeah, remember that, right, right, And
Speaker 1: then there's also the Russian blue cat who's like speaks
Speaker 1: like a Russian spy. It's like really really ridiculous, So
Speaker 1: that part is super conci to watch. But then like
Speaker 1: I see that, Oh my husband of course, because he
Speaker 1: watched as a kid, he prefers it in Japanese. So
Speaker 1: I watched in Japanese and it's suddenly a much more
Speaker 1: enjoyable program. Like it's just like, for one thing they
Speaker 1: put more effort into just putting it a lot of
Speaker 1: dog and cat puns that are really great, not that
Speaker 1: there aren't puns in English, but like it makes more sense,
Speaker 1: I guess, and like, yeah, the just the just generally
Speaker 1: it's just more enjoyable because it's suddenly less racist. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's funny, how really like because like, wow, in our language,
Speaker 1: we don't have the culture. We don't have these weird stereotypes.
Speaker 1: We have other ones, but not other ones. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then suddenly you're like, oh, yeah, I think at them,
Speaker 1: look at them, being just very objective about these characters
Speaker 1: and not describing, you know, cultural stereotypes to them. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's what. Yeah, that's one of your credits that I
Speaker 1: left off of your bio. But you are a translator.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I've never really thought of that. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of experience with like listening
Speaker 1: to the dubs are like watching things with the dubs
Speaker 1: turned on? Is there like what one type of content
Speaker 1: that's like generally has like really good dubs, Because I
Speaker 1: don't know. All the dubs that I've experienced have been
Speaker 1: like kind of half asked and like the the most
Speaker 1: recent experience I had was that German show Dark where
Speaker 1: like I was like, why do people like this for
Speaker 1: a season? And then I turned to the double off
Speaker 1: and started reading the subtitles and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: because it has like good, good actors and you just
Speaker 1: couldn't tell when the doubles on. Yeah, yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: definitely something that makes a huge difference. Right, So there
Speaker 1: are such the good dubs and bad dubs. So, for
Speaker 1: example of the show I mentioned earlier, since the Young
Speaker 1: Empress as a really bad English dub. Also the like
Speaker 1: that one, the dialogue is really strange, like an episode three,
Speaker 1: there's actually a line was the three Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: line you have to trust the poop was something that
Speaker 1: this literal princess said out love. But the other thing
Speaker 1: is that they like cut up the line so they
Speaker 1: don't sound like, I don't know, like the way anyone
Speaker 1: normally speaks English. But yes, so there's such a thing.
Speaker 1: It really depends on who was handling the dubs. So
Speaker 1: another good example in terms of magical girls, the biggest
Speaker 1: magical girl series for kids right now is called Pretty Cure,
Speaker 1: and there's only been one dubb done in English under
Speaker 1: that name, UM, which is done by Canadian company. They
Speaker 1: handled the very first season, but two of the seasons
Speaker 1: were handled by Netflix and sub On and they're called
Speaker 1: Glitter Force. They changed the name, I think for legal reasons,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people really don't like Glitter Force
Speaker 1: as a dub because they changed the care there's names,
Speaker 1: to be honest, the other one did too, and they
Speaker 1: changed a lot of like the context and dialogue. They
Speaker 1: edited episodes and didn't there some episodes and it's like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the same, Yes, it's it's that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So like, but that being said, it's a kids show
Speaker 1: and a lot of kids watch that and we're introduced
Speaker 1: to the series for the first time, so like, I
Speaker 1: don't really hate it too much for that reason, and
Speaker 1: got us more fans, right, and like a lot of
Speaker 1: kids are now like, oh, that's my childhood, so that's cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so like that kind of thing makes a
Speaker 1: huge difference. And like there are some people where if
Speaker 1: they see who is handling the double just be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch this because I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be any good. I don't trust what they've done
Speaker 1: in the past. Maybe they do those kind of localizations,
Speaker 1: but Yeah, that's definitely something that um, it really really
Speaker 1: depends on who is who's doing that work. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: like any other kind of production, who's dubbing your content?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and the same thing goes with you know,
Speaker 1: American stuff in Japan. Um, let's see, Uh, there're some
Speaker 1: good ones, Like if you watch action movies, there's a
Speaker 1: lot a good dubbed in action movies that are really
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Rush Hour is very funny in Japanese,
Speaker 1: but um, Supernatural the TV show is very strange in Japanese.
Speaker 1: They like dubbed it kind of the same way that
Speaker 1: they would voice act for an animation, So like all
Speaker 1: the voices are kind of strange, and it's just like
Speaker 1: it's just very it's just very strangely goofy in a
Speaker 1: way that like makes it really hard to watch. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's. Yeah, there's also just like Japanese voice
Speaker 1: acting can be really intense to like there's growing up
Speaker 1: like seeing a lot of dubbed things, Like there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of subdued performances a lot of the times
Speaker 1: like you're getting all of it's like you're like almost
Speaker 1: like if I wasn't looking, I could I might also
Speaker 1: think this is an anime or something like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's just I think it's always just tough
Speaker 1: when you're having to you know, create, create something out
Speaker 1: of nothing, when you have no shared language. Yeah. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we will be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And so the January six Commission, the
Speaker 1: attempt to figure out what what all went down when
Speaker 1: the capital was attacked, is moving forward. And the Republicans
Speaker 1: were basically like, if anybody fucking says anything, you're fine.
Speaker 1: You're out of the out of the gang, can't be
Speaker 1: or you can't even be friends with us anymore. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy does. That's how he controls the party. He uh,
Speaker 1: you know Liz Cheney, everyone's saying is she's gonna do it.
Speaker 1: She was one of the two Republicans to vote for
Speaker 1: the commission, along with Adam Kinzinger and Kevin McCarthy. His
Speaker 1: first thing was just saying, like, anybody except this, you
Speaker 1: will have all of your committee assignments taken away, which
Speaker 1: will render you fucking useless, damn. And that's a pretty
Speaker 1: big threat. But below she's not for this, Shaney, because
Speaker 1: she's She's like, I'm already dead, motherfucker. You think you
Speaker 1: can kill me more? What is already dead? Motherfucker? From
Speaker 1: my bills? Like she's she's expressed her in Kinsinger, how
Speaker 1: much more they've had to spend on their personal security
Speaker 1: as a result of acknowledging reality and what you know.
Speaker 1: Once Pelosi named her to the committee, said quote, what
Speaker 1: happened on January six can never happened again. Those who
Speaker 1: are responsible for the attack need to be held accountable,
Speaker 1: and this is like committee will fulfill that responsibility in
Speaker 1: a professional, expeditious, and non partisan manner. Now that got
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans upset because they were saying, like, well,
Speaker 1: it lights out for you. But she's already it seems
Speaker 1: like she feels like she's probably not gonna make it
Speaker 1: paste anyway, um in Wyoming. So for her, she's like, okay,
Speaker 1: watch me do watch me do this on the way out.
Speaker 1: And Adam Kinsinger, we still don't know if he's going
Speaker 1: to join or not. But he's again another person who
Speaker 1: made the mistake of acknowledging what happened and saying that
Speaker 1: is fucking not good. And maybe we do need to actually,
Speaker 1: you know, figure out who was involved, so they can
Speaker 1: be you know, drug out into the sunlight. And when
Speaker 1: he was asked whether or not he was worried about
Speaker 1: McCarthy's threats, he said, who gives a ship? And then
Speaker 1: I said to say, when you've got people who say
Speaker 1: crazy stuff and you're not gonna make and you're not
Speaker 1: gonna make that threat, but you make that threat to
Speaker 1: truth tellers, you've lost any credibility. I did not understand
Speaker 1: that sentence at all, like you had that and I
Speaker 1: was just like when you like, you could have stopped
Speaker 1: because I'm going, but you make that threat to truth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like heblan he's in some world like some far
Speaker 1: makes sense to someone. Yeah, who gives powerful We'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see if we get actual results from this. But
Speaker 1: it's fun drama. And also just shout out to this
Speaker 1: Chaney know her family is probably going through it right
Speaker 1: now with the past, unkey don the whole the horrible
Speaker 1: No there hell bound connection. Yeah, there's like something that's
Speaker 1: remarkably bonding about doing work crimes together, especially when like
Speaker 1: you're doing work crimes that define an entire century. So
Speaker 1: shout out to them. Let's talk about police real quick
Speaker 1: there's a new trend in being proudly belligerent in the
Speaker 1: world of police. So in April, young black man was
Speaker 1: having a mental health episode in a Walmart and within
Speaker 1: a minute of showing up, the police tasted shot and
Speaker 1: then tasted him again until he was dead. Uh, this
Speaker 1: is uh textbookcase where a mental health specialist, a social worker,
Speaker 1: like literally anything else would have been better than an
Speaker 1: armed police officer, like a fucking hot hockey team, like
Speaker 1: anything to send anyone besides the police. But so people
Speaker 1: are protesting, and yesterday morning, while people were protesting, you know,
Speaker 1: the police force that basically murdered him, an officer walked
Speaker 1: up and told them they had to move their side.
Speaker 1: And when they tried to have a conversation with the cop,
Speaker 1: he took out his phone and started playing Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: like put his phone in his breast pocket and started
Speaker 1: playing Taylor Taylor Swift really loud, so you couldn't really
Speaker 1: hear him or the people trying to talk to him.
Speaker 1: And the activists were like kind of confused. They were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: was are we having a dance party with happening? And right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the sergeant replied the all all he knew was they
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to post their video to YouTube because
Speaker 1: there would be copyright claim and like just the like
Speaker 1: fucking grin on his face as he was doing this,
Speaker 1: and just like how clever he thought it was and
Speaker 1: probably wasn't his idea. It's probably like his teen daughter
Speaker 1: or something like, yeah, alright, that's not even completely true though.
Speaker 1: I was well at least because when I was seeing
Speaker 1: that video on Twitter, I think some people were saying
Speaker 1: that all the YouTube channel would have to do is
Speaker 1: debonatize that particular video and it would be okay because
Speaker 1: it's not like they're uploading like the clean track to
Speaker 1: their video that's edited in. So the sweepers work a
Speaker 1: little bit differently, those copyright sweepers that go on the
Speaker 1: Internet to figure out if you're running a foul. But
Speaker 1: it's the great irony of watching like intellectual property copyright
Speaker 1: law again come to the defense of police brutality in
Speaker 1: this like weird way. You're like, like it's also dark,
Speaker 1: and he had it ready. It was just like right there,
Speaker 1: like just it was he was ready to go, Like
Speaker 1: it was like they can imagine just before they were
Speaker 1: all I guess arriving to go beat people up or
Speaker 1: kill people they had. They're like, Okay, let's see how
Speaker 1: you gonna do. Taylor Swift. Okay, what do you have?
Speaker 1: You have a little nil Nozax or whatever, like they're
Speaker 1: all all have their music ready. Yeah, Taylor Swift, though,
Speaker 1: I'm not little Nozax. Because you know how the white
Speaker 1: supremacies love some Taylors. That's good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: not saying she's she's what spremis is just saying right, well,
Speaker 1: they were mad though some Taylor. But then she was
Speaker 1: like I'm not with that, and they're like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: were upset. You're you being not really unequivocal, just gave
Speaker 1: us the gray area to believe you were one of
Speaker 1: our great artists. It is like the the idea is
Speaker 1: such a like email forward that gets sent to your
Speaker 1: dad at work type fucking like half asked, not true
Speaker 1: idea that it's just like that is the culture of
Speaker 1: these police forces, and like that is what they're going
Speaker 1: to put energy into, like people, the idea that people
Speaker 1: are putting tampons in their fucking ice tea or whatever,
Speaker 1: or like the fact that you can just like play
Speaker 1: YouTube song and it'll get the evidence of you abusing
Speaker 1: and killing people taken down. It's just like it's just
Speaker 1: so stupid and half asked, and that's all like that's
Speaker 1: the standard they're held too, and they would rather just
Speaker 1: be belligerent and just spite the people who are criticizing them,
Speaker 1: rather than even acknowledge that there's a problem in the
Speaker 1: first place. Then that would because if they acknowledge anything,
Speaker 1: it would be the you know that the timer could
Speaker 1: end up ticking down to when they be more people
Speaker 1: are like, okay, right, so this is an absolute way
Speaker 1: of dealing with things. We're gonna have to switch it
Speaker 1: up because we just have a group of goons who
Speaker 1: you know, learn all their new clever ways of brutalizing
Speaker 1: people with TikTok videos like hey, use this song and
Speaker 1: it can't get uploaded and they're like, oh cool. Pretty soon,
Speaker 1: I bet you they're gonna be wearing like uniforms that
Speaker 1: are made out of like material that like cameras like
Speaker 1: like have trouble capturing and ship because it's just like
Speaker 1: the same like this is. I can only see where
Speaker 1: this goes further, right if it if this is one
Speaker 1: way to obscure or to hide their misdeeds. Then I'm
Speaker 1: sure there'll be in further escalation aside from what we
Speaker 1: already have. Like we see how cops will lift the
Speaker 1: hoods of their cars to block dash cams and things
Speaker 1: like them, Like, well, it's on, but I just had
Speaker 1: to hood up to not capture anything. Yeah. But that's
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is like he was so confident that
Speaker 1: the video, that the song would be able to protect
Speaker 1: him like this Taylor some shield that like he started
Speaker 1: to show off his badge and name and stuff, like
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you guys can take that down because
Speaker 1: I'm going to be protected by songs. There's some called
Speaker 1: daily motion, right, there's so many there's so many other
Speaker 1: websites that left Facebook and literally anywhere people want to right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, speaking of obsolutely, let's talk about how our
Speaker 1: world is soon going to be absolutely for the the
Speaker 1: new temperatures, the temperature of the world that we're approaching.
Speaker 1: We're just not built for it. We didn't we didn't
Speaker 1: build the world to to deal with this. So Pacific
Speaker 1: Northwest in the United States is dealing with you know, deaths.
Speaker 1: Sixty three people passed away over the weekend um last
Speaker 1: weekend in Oregon, because Oregon is not accustomed to usually
Speaker 1: having to even use fucking air conditioning. Yeah everywhere, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. It's well what Tokoma or to I was
Speaker 1: we talked about Tacoma, Washington. Prices just went quadrupled if
Speaker 1: they had air conditioning in the room and and not
Speaker 1: and not just the US, Like in Canada too, there
Speaker 1: was an entire town that like this one town that
Speaker 1: had the record for like the hottest place in Canada,
Speaker 1: it went up in flames and the entire town had
Speaker 1: to be evacuated because within like fifteen minutes, the mayor said,
Speaker 1: it went from smoke to everything being on fire and
Speaker 1: then just ordering like people to flee. And then even
Speaker 1: in British Columbia, the Corner Service they recorded at least
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty three deaths over the weekend. They've received
Speaker 1: sixty five reports of sudden deaths since that Friday. And
Speaker 1: all of this is hyper e A lot of this
Speaker 1: is hyper thermia from overheating. And yeah, they just even
Speaker 1: see the number of calls that are made. For example,
Speaker 1: a d thirty one people in Oregon visited the hospital
Speaker 1: for or an urgent care facility just to get out
Speaker 1: of the heat just for some kind of heat related illness.
Speaker 1: In a normal weekend, they said hospitals would see maybe one,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing a hundred thirty one. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is I think this is the point where the rhetoric
Speaker 1: I feel like really needs to change, especially with like
Speaker 1: large like mainstream media of like, rather than like we
Speaker 1: gotta fight off this to degree, you know, temperature rise
Speaker 1: or else things could be bad, it's here, It's now,
Speaker 1: we are there. We are seeing what is happening. When
Speaker 1: people are when buildings are crumbling, when you have massive
Speaker 1: death like this, it's hard to say that we're like,
Speaker 1: we're almost like what's going to happen? I think we're here,
Speaker 1: like we've been here, and regardless of whether we're trying
Speaker 1: to fight like it getting worse down the road. I
Speaker 1: think we really humanity owes it to itself to take
Speaker 1: this as seriously as possible. But again, when you look
Speaker 1: at especially how our political system is structured, it's clear
Speaker 1: that you know, Republicans and corporate Democrats alike are willing
Speaker 1: to sacrifice us for you know, campaign cash. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: stuff is not even new at all. Like it's like
Speaker 1: the world has been screaming for help for so long.
Speaker 1: And like one of the shows I'm currently watching from
Speaker 1: my podcast is from seventy and they had an episode
Speaker 1: about pollution and like trying to say if the water
Speaker 1: and save the earth because everything is going up in flames.
Speaker 1: And it's like that was sixty years ago. Um, oh
Speaker 1: not fifty, yes, fifty years ago. Sorry, I can't math.
Speaker 1: And it's like nothing has really changed. Everything is still terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just the strategies or pr campaigns they think have changed
Speaker 1: without the really substantive. One thing that I think needs
Speaker 1: to change is the emphasis, especially in the mass media,
Speaker 1: going from here's how you can make individual sacrifices as
Speaker 1: a private person, like you have to recycle this, you
Speaker 1: have to turn off your heat, you have to save water,
Speaker 1: and just ignoring the corporate you know, complicity and all
Speaker 1: of this, the fact that corporations caused the vast majority,
Speaker 1: like that the top top twenty companies like are responsible
Speaker 1: for most of global warming. That like, you know what,
Speaker 1: when there's a water shortage in California, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of the farming companies that are just you know, they
Speaker 1: have better in roads to the people who are making
Speaker 1: the decisions than you and I, like than any single individual,
Speaker 1: and then like I sort of a cartoonish example of
Speaker 1: this was that alert that went out in New York
Speaker 1: a few days ago telling people that they had to
Speaker 1: turn off their air conditioning. You're gonna screw up the
Speaker 1: earth because the grid was being like pushed to the
Speaker 1: breaking point and people are pointing out like there's a
Speaker 1: tweet from Jason oh Gilbert. He's like New Yorkers, please
Speaker 1: do not use air conditioning or flush any toilets so
Speaker 1: that the ferris wheel inside the eminem store can run
Speaker 1: twenty four seven. It's like, yo, you guys have Times Square.
Speaker 1: You didn't try to Times Square off, and you're asking
Speaker 1: people to like put their lives in danger. That's what
Speaker 1: when New York during the summer without air conditioning, you
Speaker 1: are putting people's lives in danger. And you're doing that
Speaker 1: Coca Cola though, so the Coca Cola can keep their
Speaker 1: Coca Cola sign lit up. It's like shut the funk
Speaker 1: up camera where everyone was like just so you know,
Speaker 1: this is like an hour after the alert, they're like,
Speaker 1: look at the Times Square web cameras because every single
Speaker 1: billboard is lit up, every vet, everything is on full
Speaker 1: blast down there, yea, And I think it's just, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a very good reminder of just how everything is
Speaker 1: going to work, like, especially in this country, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we could, we could ask the corporations to do different,
Speaker 1: but we're not, so we'll just let you die, the voter,
Speaker 1: the worker, the normal parson shiny McDonald's going yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is why you know, wars
Speaker 1: are fought, especially in this country where it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure we have as many customers around
Speaker 1: the world. But Joe Biden, I just want to bring
Speaker 1: sort of bring this back a little bit to the
Speaker 1: idea of the filibuster, because we have things like the
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. We have a lot of progressive politicians
Speaker 1: who are rejecting some of the infrastructures that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: has because saying this is not this is not actually
Speaker 1: addressing climate change, like this is a fucking giveaway to polluters,
Speaker 1: This isn't this isn't really, this isn't substantive or radical,
Speaker 1: which is what we need as we watch people perish
Speaker 1: from being overheated. And this idea again where you know,
Speaker 1: the more like the more you sort of look at it.
Speaker 1: It's become very easy for I think the Biden administration
Speaker 1: to just point to Kirson Cinema and Joe Mansion and
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know what you I don't know
Speaker 1: what I mean, you know, what what am I supposed
Speaker 1: to do? And it's like, you're the fucking president, you know,
Speaker 1: figure that out, don't Just that's not leadership to throw
Speaker 1: your hands up because you have two people who are
Speaker 1: more publicly, you know, covering for the filibuster and to
Speaker 1: sort of maintain the status quo, when at the same
Speaker 1: time ignoring that your support is sliding with the people
Speaker 1: that voted for you because you're you're acting I don't
Speaker 1: know what I can do, and this is just kind
Speaker 1: of I don't know. I think it's just sort of
Speaker 1: another omni crisis that human beings are having to face,
Speaker 1: especially in this country too, given that American conservatism is
Speaker 1: a huge, one of the biggest contributors to climate change
Speaker 1: and climate change. Now, hey, stay cool out there, guys,
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest, you know, right, that's what they'd say, Yes,
Speaker 1: and please don't use fireworks this to life forth weekend
Speaker 1: unless you're asking me to sacrifice something that personally is
Speaker 1: very important to me. So yeah, do little bang bangs
Speaker 1: in the sky. I think they're officially banned important from
Speaker 1: when I'm reading correctly. Um, but that's not gonna stop anyone.
Speaker 1: I'm sure anyone who wants to is going to do
Speaker 1: it anyway. But like anything, you just cross state lines
Speaker 1: to get the ship that you want, that you know,
Speaker 1: and then put your own state in danger. And again,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you're gonna have fireworks, leave it
Speaker 1: to the law enforcement professionals like the l a p
Speaker 1: D Bomb Squad, like idiots just trying to destroy some
Speaker 1: confiscated fireworks. It's They've never looked more dumb people. I
Speaker 1: still can't believe that story. There's yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to read three consecutive tweets. Cody Johnston retweets more than
Speaker 1: five thousand pounds of illegal fireworks sees from a home
Speaker 1: in South LA. The bomb squad is now hauling them
Speaker 1: away by the truckload. Some of these fireworks are about
Speaker 1: to be safely detonated on scene. A couple of minutes
Speaker 1: later explosion. L a p D was disposing of illegal
Speaker 1: fireworks in South l A. When the explosion occurred at
Speaker 1: least five are injured. By the way, I like felt
Speaker 1: this in my house when it happened, I was like,
Speaker 1: look at when I was like, what the funk just happened? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then next from the l A p D. A
Speaker 1: bomb squad officers were in the process of seizing over
Speaker 1: five thousand pounds of illegal fireworks in the area. Some
Speaker 1: of the fireworks were being stored in our bomb squad
Speaker 1: trailer is a precautionary measure. Unknown at this time. What
Speaker 1: caused an explosion? Oh for real, the five thousand pounds
Speaker 1: of explosive that y'all misshandled. Maybe yeah, yeah, that's definitely
Speaker 1: the officer related incident. Kind of not telling you what happens. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a blue alert on your cell phone
Speaker 1: called l ap D blew themselves up, fucking just get
Speaker 1: rid of these fireworks, like because you look at the
Speaker 1: thing they had, it's like one of those like iron
Speaker 1: spear things that I guess typically you could just be like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, put it in there, boom whatever, you can
Speaker 1: dispose of it it. I don't know if they overloaded
Speaker 1: the thing because it was actually one of those old
Speaker 1: tiny acme bombs that they took right, Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the way it leveled that truck and everything, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, and also, fuck you for doing that in
Speaker 1: a residential area they don't give a funk about. But
Speaker 1: that's also again, you look at you know, South l Ah,
Speaker 1: you know, not a majority white part of the city,
Speaker 1: and they really have a lot of energy to find
Speaker 1: these people. And I get it, like fireworks can cause
Speaker 1: injuries and fires and things like that, but I guarante
Speaker 1: damn to you. You go to West Lake, California or
Speaker 1: Calabasas and ship motherfucker's got fireworks, but you're not really
Speaker 1: giving a funk about it over there, right, All right,
Speaker 1: let's take another quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and it is boom time for psychics
Speaker 1: right now. It's boom time for the l a p
Speaker 1: D and four psychics. You can muically for psychics, literally
Speaker 1: for the l A p D. So since the pandemic hit,
Speaker 1: Google searches for psychic increased. Yelp reported that the supernatural
Speaker 1: readings business went up by a hundred and forty and
Speaker 1: according to Pew research data from two thousand eighteen and
Speaker 1: estimated six out of ten American adults except at least
Speaker 1: one New Age belief which includes psychics. Wait, what are
Speaker 1: New Age beliefs? What do we like? Crystals, Tarot cards,
Speaker 1: Tarot cards, reiky they called they put Reiky in there,
Speaker 1: all right, they're they're like meditation. You know, this wild
Speaker 1: with hard science at you puncture with Cartesian Western thought exactly. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So our writer jam was pointing out that, you know,
Speaker 1: throughout history, whenever there's been some sort of upheaval or
Speaker 1: some sort of act of anxiety and society, interest in
Speaker 1: psychics has shot up. After the Civil War was this
Speaker 1: long period where spiritualism, people who could commune with the dead,
Speaker 1: was like very very popular. The Fox Sisters, these kind
Speaker 1: of spooky looking young women who basically communicated with each other.
Speaker 1: It was kind of an easy scam to see through.
Speaker 1: They were just like knocking on the wood and that
Speaker 1: was the thing that they were saying, like, was the
Speaker 1: spirits communing with them. And but it was like you
Speaker 1: can just tell that something is right that like it
Speaker 1: was filling a need in the zeitgeist because they became
Speaker 1: like the biggest celebrities of that decade for being able
Speaker 1: to commune with the dead and like Abraham Lincoln's wife,
Speaker 1: Mary Todd, was like really into this whole movement. And
Speaker 1: it makes sense because like everybody there, everyone's kids were dying.
Speaker 1: You know, people's significant others are dying in the Civil War,
Speaker 1: and you just wanted to be able to talk to
Speaker 1: those people. You are also just like constantly thinking about
Speaker 1: death right, So this gives you a The scientific and
Speaker 1: political reality is like we don't know, and we're waiting
Speaker 1: and seeing and we just have to be like cautious
Speaker 1: and try various hate that techniques, and that's I mean,
Speaker 1: the human brain hates that. It's like two, it's not
Speaker 1: it's not concrete enough. Yeah, but I think more than
Speaker 1: even like you having your like just feeling your limbic
Speaker 1: system be like what the fuck is going and you
Speaker 1: can still use your brain to be like, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: in unprecedented times, but I also get that, yeah, if
Speaker 1: if you're more susceptible to that, what couldn't be more
Speaker 1: of like an attractive proposition. So I'm being like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know what the funk is happening here, and then
Speaker 1: like tea, tell me more, tell me more, tell me more. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually do. Uh, it's not like a major hobby
Speaker 1: or anything. But I like Taro not I don't believe
Speaker 1: that it actually has anything like spiritual going on with it.
Speaker 1: It's just like the system is amazed so that it's
Speaker 1: very easy for people to get their thoughts externalized basically,
Speaker 1: and once it's like they're like, I've literally never had
Speaker 1: like again not believing in it. I have never had
Speaker 1: a terror reading done where someone the other person didn't say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so true, right, And it's
Speaker 1: just because like for one thing, all the cars can
Speaker 1: have a bunch of different meetings, but also like yeah,
Speaker 1: once all these things are out there, they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: there is someone like that in my life or whatever,
Speaker 1: and like that seeing that having someone else say that
Speaker 1: the things that they were already thinking always helps them
Speaker 1: to like understand something that was honestly probably already in
Speaker 1: their mind anyway. But it's very it's very very funny.
Speaker 1: It's I mean there, it's a very interesting thing. And
Speaker 1: of course if you're listening and you believe in Taro,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to like there's no offense to you guys.
Speaker 1: It's just for me. I I don't know, friend to you,
Speaker 1: but to me, there's just some fucking cards with some
Speaker 1: cool drawings that help connect I collect. I have like
Speaker 1: to cut taro decks, like right next to me on
Speaker 1: my desk here like I do. Oh yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know people who are heavy with
Speaker 1: the tarot but mostly like it's like I think it's
Speaker 1: like Pokemon for them in a way, it's like playing
Speaker 1: magic the Gathering, but like a little more emotional with
Speaker 1: emotional steaks. I think that's some people. So the first
Speaker 1: Quiji boards started being mass produced in the late eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: and you would see sales shoot up like during World
Speaker 1: War One, after the Spanish flu epidemic. Uh, and we're
Speaker 1: seeing that again during this pandemic popularity of we do
Speaker 1: which so I think all of this goes back to
Speaker 1: the fact that we the human mind is this like
Speaker 1: powerful and unknown way is like incredibly vast, infinite, you know,
Speaker 1: machine like realm that we only have very limited access to,
Speaker 1: Like our our conscious mind is shining a tiny spotlight
Speaker 1: on like five to ten percent of what is actually
Speaker 1: going on in our mind. And the we g and
Speaker 1: all these various things and spiritual practices just allow you
Speaker 1: to kind of get a different way into those things.
Speaker 1: So like with we GI, it's like you're you know,
Speaker 1: people always talk about how it feels like the thing
Speaker 1: is moving without them, or like you get a group
Speaker 1: consciousness that takes over and like starts moving it. Like,
Speaker 1: I think that's all very valid and interesting. Maybe not
Speaker 1: for the reasons explicitly that people think, but it's actually
Speaker 1: like creating interesting ideas and it's a it's definitely like
Speaker 1: a valid way to process like your discomfort with the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like psychological. It's almost like therapy. So that's what
Speaker 1: a lot of people need, especially in times like this.
Speaker 1: So it makes a lot of sense. Damn, I wish
Speaker 1: we board could replace my therapy. I'm like ship, Yeah
Speaker 1: it was Monday. More, let me give my board out. Okay, good, good,
Speaker 1: good good. Okay, there it is there it is, But yeah,
Speaker 1: that there is something to I mean, I I was.
Speaker 1: I would always sunk with people when I was on
Speaker 1: the week, I was, I was, I was the chaos agent.
Speaker 1: If you had me to with you, I'm you are
Speaker 1: intentionally around. I'm pushing that ship around and I was
Speaker 1: tell me, it was like nobody knows how this is happening, Miles,
Speaker 1: What's happening. I don't know. Look telling me k I
Speaker 1: s a l O s E er. I don't know,
Speaker 1: y'all we heard it here, gotta go. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I be saying I need to cluck like a chicken
Speaker 1: for the next two days or the Sixers will lose
Speaker 1: for ever. The whole thing though, I think for me
Speaker 1: I as a kid, I just I was very very
Speaker 1: logical type kid, and if you know, I didn't like
Speaker 1: magic tricks, like I would always show me how that
Speaker 1: ship worked because I'm off, don't stop telling me it's magic, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not mentioning how the trick works. And when I
Speaker 1: first saw kids doing Luigi, I was like, this is
Speaker 1: so fucking stupid. I'm like, how are y'all even believe
Speaker 1: in this? Even though like at the time, I'm eleven,
Speaker 1: So I don't know why I'm thinking. I'm I'm some
Speaker 1: galaxy brain motherfucker out here, probably because I was eleven,
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that contributed to me meddling in it.
Speaker 1: But I do. I do totally see your point about
Speaker 1: when you even begin to see the things that are
Speaker 1: in your unconscious the same things where I think like
Speaker 1: psychedelics like can be really mind blowing for people like
Speaker 1: early on, like, oh wow, you realize we operate. We
Speaker 1: operate on like that little bit of oil that hardens
Speaker 1: up on the top of a soup, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, and then everything is underneath that, and but
Speaker 1: we're barely dipping our tone to that part. We're just
Speaker 1: kind of on this surface skim level. Yeah, drugs are
Speaker 1: definitely like we're for a long time, my favorite way
Speaker 1: to access this religion is a very popular way to
Speaker 1: access it. But like it's it definitely should not be discounted.
Speaker 1: It's and also like with in reference to psychedelics, like
Speaker 1: do some reading on people describing their guided psychedelic like
Speaker 1: therapy sessions. It's unbelievable, like the like detailed, like poetic,
Speaker 1: like cinematic imagery that people's minds are creating, and like
Speaker 1: people remember it. They're like, yeah, so I was like
Speaker 1: watching the short film where like my dead father and
Speaker 1: I were like going through this like visual poem of
Speaker 1: a like representation of all the images that of all
Speaker 1: the issues that like I had with him. It's it's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. And yeah, so anyways, there's also like so
Speaker 1: what I sent you nine hundred dollars Jack, for you
Speaker 1: to to start start this out for me through with
Speaker 1: your psychic powers. Yeah, So that's that's the thing, is
Speaker 1: that there's people who are taking advantage of this in
Speaker 1: shitty ways. Um. What one person who's not really taking
Speaker 1: advantage of it, but who's getting some shine off of
Speaker 1: it is a deceased psychic named Sylvia Brown, who released
Speaker 1: a book in two thousand eight that claimed in around
Speaker 1: severe and aumongia like illness will spread throughout the globe,
Speaker 1: attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all
Speaker 1: known treatments. And so that very specific sentence sent the
Speaker 1: book to It became a best seller in It was
Speaker 1: number two on Amazon's nonfiction sure for a while. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it goes on to say, almost more baffling than the
Speaker 1: illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly
Speaker 1: vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later,
Speaker 1: and then disappear completely so that that didn't happen. Also,
Speaker 1: first of all, that's not a good description of COVID either,
Speaker 1: doctors would point out. Um, she's also made some like
Speaker 1: really shitty bold predictions on Montell. She's the one on
Speaker 1: Montell who told a mother of a missing girl that
Speaker 1: her daughter was dead on Montell on TV that daughter
Speaker 1: was one of the people who was being held in
Speaker 1: aerial Castro's like dungeon. Yeah, so she fucked that one up.
Speaker 1: She Montell had to apologize. She just kind of, uh
Speaker 1: was like back your way out of the room. I mean,
Speaker 1: the people have, like, you know, they've always Sylvia Brown
Speaker 1: has been pretty out there with her you know, self identification.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people have debunked over the years.
Speaker 1: But that is wild that even despite that, Like, but
Speaker 1: she was right about this. Yeah. I mean that's the
Speaker 1: thing is you only have to be like kind of
Speaker 1: right about some things, and that's enough for some people
Speaker 1: to believe everything. You know, Like just like, hey, Jack,
Speaker 1: I remember that trending episode when Chris Paul got you know,
Speaker 1: he's going to the Suns and we said, hey, that
Speaker 1: might be good for Eton in the Quarry book, or
Speaker 1: I mean for for Devin Booker, and then look what happened,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No, I mean that's ESPN
Speaker 1: is offering me a deal. So this will be a
Speaker 1: lot last podcast because hey, we heard you say that
Speaker 1: on a podcast and now you're now you're giving all
Speaker 1: kinds of idiot people streams like, Uh, YESPN monetizes people
Speaker 1: just saying takes loud as possible, oftentimes wrong. Uh. Anyways,
Speaker 1: there's like all some more straightforward graft like there's a
Speaker 1: person who was told by psychic to bring her nine
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a pillow case with nine white roses,
Speaker 1: nine red roses. Uh, and she would perform rituals and
Speaker 1: soon return the nine thousand dollars. And also it would
Speaker 1: like clear as bad energy, and that he has been
Speaker 1: surprisingly unable to recoup a cent of that has since
Speaker 1: lost his money because of the pandemic or lost his
Speaker 1: job because of the pandemic, and his like really hurting.
Speaker 1: And the police won't take those sorts of claims seriously
Speaker 1: because they're assholes. Yeah, serve and protect unless they're taking,
Speaker 1: unless they're blowing themselves up with your fireworks. Yeah. There
Speaker 1: was also a massive psychic mail fraud scheme in nineteen
Speaker 1: that made more than two hundred million dollars from one
Speaker 1: point four million victims. I am in the wrong business,
Speaker 1: that's you know what I said before. I I believe
Speaker 1: everything about the cards. I was definitely joking before and
Speaker 1: I remember, you mean, I remember in two thousand nine
Speaker 1: you said I would be hosting a podcast with a
Speaker 1: man whose name started with J and and we will
Speaker 1: go on to do great things and do all. You
Speaker 1: were only right about the first part. I still believe
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But this also, I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, because you don't come out,
Speaker 1: you don't go to the police because you're probably ashamed
Speaker 1: because you're like, yeah, look I got duped because this
Speaker 1: person doing but nine grand in a pillow case, because
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like when you say it out loud,
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I should have known. But at the time,
Speaker 1: I'm so desperate for some kind of closure or relief
Speaker 1: emotionally that this is the only place offering it to me. Um,
Speaker 1: But I'm curious what that person said they why they
Speaker 1: need a nine thousand dollars that would eventually return to them,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like, oh, I lay
Speaker 1: the bills out and then I rubbed the roses on top,
Speaker 1: and then I get a vibe to a vibe check
Speaker 1: on the on the currency, and then it vanishes. But
Speaker 1: then I give it back like mechanically, i'd really be
Speaker 1: again concerned with how that all works well energetically, Miles,
Speaker 1: it's important that you are giving them something that is
Speaker 1: worth a lot to you spiritually, and so nine thousand
Speaker 1: dollars specifically, Like that's a good way to just kind
Speaker 1: of dial in specifically your psychic Benji and like how
Speaker 1: much something matters to you because you say less, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mean to have to explain this
Speaker 1: to me would be asking too much, right, but not enough.
Speaker 1: The spell requires specifically nine Okay, I will okay, that's
Speaker 1: all you need to know. I'm about to go to
Speaker 1: my bank right now and thank you. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a good grift because a lot of the
Speaker 1: people are either too embarrassed to come forward, the cups
Speaker 1: won't take them seriously, prosecutors won't try the case because
Speaker 1: they're afraid the victim is going to look stupid to
Speaker 1: a jury. And yeah, so I mean this is a
Speaker 1: good place to end the episode since we opened up
Speaker 1: with the religious grif he care that is advertising on
Speaker 1: our show, and uh, you know, this is just another
Speaker 1: kind of spiritual grift, trying to fill fill the whole
Speaker 1: that Americans are lacking because community has dissolved. And and
Speaker 1: because that's the thing Jack, you know, I want everybody
Speaker 1: to come on down I to my faith based healthcare
Speaker 1: company that I have, you know, because our model here
Speaker 1: is it's not a lack of medication. It's a lack
Speaker 1: of salvation. Uh. When you get that salvation, you won't
Speaker 1: need that medication. Thank you so much. Uh, and we
Speaker 1: can put away your fear in trepidation. It rhymes because
Speaker 1: it's true. Yeah, exactly, rhymes because it's true. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Y'all are cured. Y'all are cured. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's been such a pleasure having you back as always
Speaker 1: where can people find you and follow you? Well? Thank
Speaker 1: you again for having me back. So I'm on Instagram
Speaker 1: and Twitter, though mostly on Twitter to be perfectly honest,
Speaker 1: I think Instagram is more for stories. But my personal
Speaker 1: Instagram is at I U. She knows a y U
Speaker 1: s a g K and l w U s. The
Speaker 1: one for my podcast Sparkle side chats with Magical Girl.
Speaker 1: Are you is at Magical Girl? Are you? So? That's
Speaker 1: felt a y U and Uh, like y'all said, Um,
Speaker 1: I do art. That's one of my things. I do
Speaker 1: translate like I can do private translations also, but you know,
Speaker 1: art mostly like if you want like a birthday present
Speaker 1: or something, my paintings are good for that. Or if
Speaker 1: you like one of the things I already painted, thank you.
Speaker 1: You know, you can buy earlier because I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. I do
Speaker 1: drawings too, so that's fine. Okay, Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: I do not at all, but at least those do things. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like if you want, like, uh, you know, usually people
Speaker 1: want to give presents to their loved ones and so
Speaker 1: portragulally good for that. Or you can buy Old Prince
Speaker 1: of Mine in my print shop, which is at in
Speaker 1: print I N P R and T. Yeah, under the
Speaker 1: same name. And is there a tweeter some of the
Speaker 1: work of social media you've been enjoying. Yes, yes, so
Speaker 1: this is at mo Pink's m O p I n
Speaker 1: k S. They tweeted about this sign and it just
Speaker 1: says uh so they're they're comments. Just know that absolutely
Speaker 1: does not work. The sign looks like it's from a
Speaker 1: hotel or something, and it's supposed to say welcome, but
Speaker 1: for some reason the C and welcome is uh starfish.
Speaker 1: So it just looks like, well, um, I after looking
Speaker 1: at it for some time, I believe what trying. But
Speaker 1: the point of this is that they are trying to
Speaker 1: make the starfish look like okay, to still make like head.
Speaker 1: I know, it's complet I don't know, I like this.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're like, awesome, you know, some demonic sh welcome
Speaker 1: you know what, Yes, that does it. Actually I did
Speaker 1: not realize that starfish does look kind of godish. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's inverted. It looks like inverted you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But it's just it's so strange. You say, X, what
Speaker 1: would a starfish be if you could substitute it for
Speaker 1: a letter? Like anything? Here that I mean, the comments
Speaker 1: are saying like it could make an oh because it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a star you know, oh yeah right
Speaker 1: yeah yeah welcome, yeah if you will. Yeah. It's just
Speaker 1: so it's just such an odd choice. But it's just
Speaker 1: like they obviously they were confident that it would translate
Speaker 1: to saying welcome, and it's like nope. People like to
Speaker 1: get artsy with it, you know, just some sometimes it's
Speaker 1: like the letters they do the job they're supposed to do. Yeah, yeah, Miles,
Speaker 1: where can people find you? With tweet you've been enjoying,
Speaker 1: find me on Twitter or Instagram at Miles of Gray.
Speaker 1: Also the other show for any Day Fiance, Where are
Speaker 1: we talking? Ninety Day Fiance? A couple of tweets that
Speaker 1: I like, This is actually a quote tweet from What
Speaker 1: tweet from? I believe someone from Nightgang at It's Dave
Speaker 1: not David said, I can hear Prof. Sophie and Miles
Speaker 1: celebrating in relation to the Clippers not making it to
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. I abstained from really responding because I
Speaker 1: want to be and what the funk am I saying? Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know the Angelina, real people who are born
Speaker 1: in l A that wrapped the Clippers. No, Paul Sheer,
Speaker 1: You're not from here, bro, And don't stop acting like
Speaker 1: the Clippers are the working class team? What what they take?
Speaker 1: A look around the city went when Kobe Bryant passed away?
Speaker 1: You know who? Anyway, prop said group text going crazy
Speaker 1: and I get it. Um. Next up, I want to say,
Speaker 1: trying to claim that the Clippers was quoted in the
Speaker 1: fucking paper saying like I really like the Clippers, you know,
Speaker 1: they're like the working man's team in l A. Like
Speaker 1: the Lakers are now. While I get now that because
Speaker 1: the move to the Staples Center did usher in a
Speaker 1: new era of NBA fandom, which were people who could
Speaker 1: afford the Staples Center well before it used to be
Speaker 1: people who could have any like most people could afford
Speaker 1: going to the Great Western Forum. There is that, but
Speaker 1: the idea that the people who support the Lakers in
Speaker 1: this city like this has been the basketball team for
Speaker 1: decades before the Clippers brought their stanking asses up here.
Speaker 1: So next up, I want to say this goes out
Speaker 1: to at boc X top first mate Prance. He tweeted,
Speaker 1: we got streets crumbling under record breaking heat and Republicans
Speaker 1: worried about kids learning that America used to be even
Speaker 1: more racist. Yeah, that is seems like a bit of
Speaker 1: a misstep here. And the last one is from at Chunk.
Speaker 1: Bartie tweeted, I'm vibing, smiley faced. This is of course
Speaker 1: not true. Yeah, we all want to be vibing. You're
Speaker 1: not vibing if you're pronouncing the I n G. I
Speaker 1: think I am vibing. I am vibing you guys, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, So you're not. You're not. You're hiding from
Speaker 1: your subconscious tweet I enjoyed. Kylie Jansen tweeted, there two
Speaker 1: ways to pronounce s pedometer and we picked the wrong one.
Speaker 1: Speed ometer is correct. Let's let's make this thing like
Speaker 1: a speedometer and law boy Esquire tweet. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are trying to understand why Bill Cosby is being
Speaker 1: released from prison. As an experienced attorney, I can explain
Speaker 1: he is extremely, extremely rich. M M, that's all it is,
Speaker 1: even though he's out here trying to act, I maintain
Speaker 1: my and it's like, you're guilty still, sir, You just
Speaker 1: you're out on a weird ass technicality and this dude
Speaker 1: is still apparently they're there's already talked about like how
Speaker 1: he's gonna be making money off of Arran's isn't ship
Speaker 1: a quick Romney tweeted, I can't believe that Dave and
Speaker 1: Busters is owned by Dave Chappelle and Buster Rhyns. I didn't.

Speaker 1: would be it would be smoky in there. Uh uh.

Speaker 1: fan page and a website daily zeitgeist dot com, where
Speaker 1: we post our episodes and our foot note where we
Speaker 1: link off to the information that we talked about, as
Speaker 1: well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles,
Speaker 1: what song are we telling people to go out and
Speaker 1: do some vibing. We're gonna vibe actually to some music
Speaker 1: from you know, one of my other mother countries, Japan.
Speaker 1: This is a group called Chai se H a I
Speaker 1: and their um girl group who you know, they're there.
Speaker 1: They do very interesting stuff. But this track is sort
Speaker 1: of their take on you know, what they call Japanese
Speaker 1: city pop from the eighties, which is a very popular
Speaker 1: it's kind of resurging now as like a genre where
Speaker 1: just like very poppy Japanese music that was like heavily
Speaker 1: influenced by American pop at the time. But it's just
Speaker 1: got I just love I just love city pop. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's just me being Japanese, but it
Speaker 1: seems like its global appeal. But it's very easy to
Speaker 1: listen to. But this is like they're a little bit
Speaker 1: more like raw with it, and so they're giving it
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like less polished but really dope,
Speaker 1: and it's called Donuts Mind If I Do, And it's
Speaker 1: just like a fun play on you know, they're using
Speaker 1: their own version of English here in Japanese, but it's
Speaker 1: got that like really nice city pop vibe. So this
Speaker 1: is Chai with Donuts Mind if I Do? All right? Well,
