Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: Her Twitter account was named one of the seventy best
Speaker 1: Twitter accounts by Pace. Please welcome the absolutely hilarious Marcella
Speaker 1: area where Hello, Hi, sorry for being outdated. What is
Speaker 1: the show even about anymore? He's talking to just getting
Speaker 1: people's stats wrong, so you wont six or seven times.
Speaker 1: One of the funniest things about Jack is like how
Speaker 1: like his whole he's just so muted and like the
Speaker 1: vibe is just like real chill. And then when he
Speaker 1: is doing that introduction, he goes for it and it
Speaker 1: really gives me some insight into what's happening in the
Speaker 1: bedroom with his wife. So I'm just into it, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I love to admire another gear I don't know
Speaker 1: where I don't know, and Miles is like the same
Speaker 1: at all times, which it's really I wonder what you're
Speaker 1: like with your parents, you know your parents, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know that. I just annoyed the funk out though I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, are you an only child? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: alright in the conversation, I'm not interested anymore. There we go.
Speaker 1: Miles turns it on for his like friends parents. I've
Speaker 1: seen him like one of his friends parents and like
Speaker 1: a sandwich shop and it's just like Darlene, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes it's weird when you see people
Speaker 1: out in public. And most of the time you see
Speaker 1: people you don't want to fucking see in public, but
Speaker 1: sometimes you see like you're like your homie from high schools,
Speaker 1: like mom, You're like, oh my god, Darling, what the funk?
Speaker 1: B It's bring it in talking to Darling like that,
Speaker 1: aren't you? No? No, I said, okay, how are you? Okay?
Speaker 1: Oh you come here to you work around here? Hopefully
Speaker 1: I run into you again. Yeah, yeah, that sounds I
Speaker 1: was trying to mac the laughter. Damn. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: to add that to the intro. Also, fantastic animal impulption.
Speaker 1: Oh ship, damn. That is really something that this This
Speaker 1: replaces Mariah as No apologize. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, this is a
Speaker 1: lifetime of being terrified of conflict to a pathological degree.
Speaker 1: Do you go through an emo phase like a gothic phase? Jack, No,
Speaker 1: not really. I went through like, uh, just I think
Speaker 1: you grew up in the Midwest too much for you
Speaker 1: to get emo. No, there's plenty, plenty of emo. I
Speaker 1: work cross colors, and like Carl Can, I in a
Speaker 1: town that was like the whitest town in the world,
Speaker 1: and that was kind of my EMO phase. That was
Speaker 1: like everybody was mad at me, like including my teachers
Speaker 1: for doing that. You didn't get dark, you got black.
Speaker 1: That's right, he went another direction. Yeah, that's funny. Marcela
Speaker 1: was new or still in the middle of a pandemic.
Speaker 1: Where are you asking me that nothing is new, there's
Speaker 1: nothing to update. I got trying to set up these
Speaker 1: hook ups with these dudes and it's just not working out.
Speaker 1: And I'm very annoyed. You know. I'm just coming to
Speaker 1: people's downs and I'm trying to, you know, make something
Speaker 1: happen and it's not. You know, I'm just upset. What's
Speaker 1: upset is it does it feel like the energy is
Speaker 1: different out there with the everyone being vaccinated or it's
Speaker 1: just kind of the same same. Well, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to not hook up with strangers because I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, men lie, so like I don't. I
Speaker 1: can't trust some strangers to be like vaccinated you with anyone,
Speaker 1: you know, It's like that's out the window. So I'm
Speaker 1: like trying to hook up with people I like pretty
Speaker 1: much have known or like really like you know, kind
Speaker 1: of trust in some way, and it's just not handing out.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, really like, what is he even out there?
Speaker 1: What are the options? You know? Guy, I'm just saying, guys,
Speaker 1: you guys are lucky to be in a whatever you
Speaker 1: want to call, But how do you like triangulate like
Speaker 1: the people you know? You feel like you have enough
Speaker 1: like mutual friends or whatever to be like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: think I can kind of understand or gauge how honest
Speaker 1: this person is. I mean, if I've known them for you,
Speaker 1: I have to know I have to know them for
Speaker 1: years to be like this can be a fine one
Speaker 1: night stand, you know, because I've had I looked up
Speaker 1: with homies and it's fine, and then I cooked up
Speaker 1: with homies and it's not fine, And there is no
Speaker 1: there's no kind of navig eating that. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's also at a certain point, especially now through the pandemic,
Speaker 1: it's like people are definitely approaching everything a little differently.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody just like yeah, sexs okay, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: just do this. I don't even want you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean. That's another problem
Speaker 1: is that you know, some people out they lie, They're like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't I just want to do this, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: you don't, just wants to apart. I don't want that.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. Too sensitive, fellows are too sensitive. Dang.
Speaker 1: We like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay,
Speaker 1: well it's what's it's it's my current state in life
Speaker 1: as well, a little bit of like what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are hipped to this
Speaker 1: or not, but recently, as of like two years ago,
Speaker 1: but it's been ongoing before and since then. I searched
Speaker 1: tips for renting a car in Kauaii. Are you guys
Speaker 1: familiar with what's happening in this country and specifically Hawaii's
Speaker 1: just there's no cars. There's no cars all right. For example,
Speaker 1: I during a year ago, almost almost I think exactly
Speaker 1: a year ago, pretty much. I rented a truck, drove
Speaker 1: to Roche, Illinois, picked up my pinball machine that I
Speaker 1: had sold to have money to move to l A,
Speaker 1: was able to buy back from the person I sold
Speaker 1: it to, and I drove it back out here, and
Speaker 1: I rented uh F one fifty you know, unlimited miles
Speaker 1: for like I think, twelve days. I think it cost
Speaker 1: me a hundred and sixty dollars, right, That gives you
Speaker 1: that's where we were at. Obviously that was pandemic pricing.
Speaker 1: But in a normal year, I bet that would have
Speaker 1: cost me, like maybe so. And I rent cars a
Speaker 1: lot for being on the road and stuff to invert. Yes,
Speaker 1: car rentals, if you can find one in Kauaii are
Speaker 1: going for about seven hundred and fifty dollars a day,
Speaker 1: a day, a day. So guys, here's the thing. They
Speaker 1: don't have cars anymore. There's no cars. Every single car
Speaker 1: rental place of every size and make of car is gone.
Speaker 1: So now everything's gone to Turo. But there is nothing
Speaker 1: on Turo. You can find cars for like a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty two hundred dollars a day, which is a
Speaker 1: good deal, and it's like a two thousand and twelve
Speaker 1: Scion XB. It's like a it's like a two thousand
Speaker 1: eight Saturn And I'm not joking. And you're gonna spend
Speaker 1: if you're going to you know, usually go to Hawaifi
Speaker 1: for at least five days, you're gonna spend close to
Speaker 1: like a grand Now there are almost no cars left
Speaker 1: on Turo, So the next place you have to go
Speaker 1: if you haven't gone the U haul route, which some
Speaker 1: people have gone, is Craigslist. And this cottage industry has
Speaker 1: been created with people just renting their cars. And you
Speaker 1: see everybody from being like, hey, here's my my O
Speaker 1: eight Corolla, if you want to rent it call me.
Speaker 1: To other people who have said here's the in the
Speaker 1: ad Craigslis had, It'll be like, here's a link to
Speaker 1: our Google doc. You fill out the reservation form. These
Speaker 1: are just people like because you know, so much of
Speaker 1: that economy relies on tourism, a lot of just people
Speaker 1: who worked in the restaurant and like took a big hit.
Speaker 1: So this has kind of become in a good way.
Speaker 1: I actually feel like like a windfall for them to
Speaker 1: be able to make some money back just on their
Speaker 1: own cars that they have. But I've gone so far.
Speaker 1: I am not a wealthy man. But when you look
Speaker 1: at renting, like for seven days in Kauaii, I looked
Speaker 1: on Craigslist guys, and I was like, do I just
Speaker 1: buy a sevent car and then I sell it to
Speaker 1: somebody else coming to Quaiet or I give it to
Speaker 1: I like, work out a deal with somebody who's running
Speaker 1: one of these things and say like, hey, I'll just
Speaker 1: trust you you. I'll leave the car here you rented out,
Speaker 1: and then give me some sort of money off or
Speaker 1: or or whatever. At this point, you could be like, yo, dude,
Speaker 1: I'll pay your car payment for a month. Yes, you
Speaker 1: just give it to me for like two weeks because
Speaker 1: that's not even gonna match what the rental rate is.
Speaker 1: And I know for you, your calculus is that car payment.
Speaker 1: Why don't I take care of that and you can
Speaker 1: get it most of the month. Actually, dude, so quick,
Speaker 1: quill cook story. I know we got a sound to
Speaker 1: get to today. So I go out to lunch with
Speaker 1: a friend of mine and we're hanging out. I didn't
Speaker 1: even dawn, I mean towards Sennego. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: have family in Kauaii and he goes, yeah, I'm from there.
Speaker 1: I was like, I totally forgot. I go, what I'm
Speaker 1: about to tell you? If it sounds crazy, and he
Speaker 1: had not heard any of anything. I just told you guys.
Speaker 1: He goes, let me call my family. I go, if
Speaker 1: they'd let me rent one of their cars, if they
Speaker 1: even have one. But I guarantee you they already know
Speaker 1: about this. The island so small, and it's all over
Speaker 1: every island in Hawaii. Go, they already know about this.
Speaker 1: They might already be doing it, or if they have
Speaker 1: an extra car, I would rather pay them. He goes,
Speaker 1: let me call my uncle. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's not too like tech savvy. I but he doesn't
Speaker 1: really We'll see, right. We leave lunch. Ten minutes later,
Speaker 1: he calls me up and he goes, so, I just
Speaker 1: talked to my uncle. His cars rented the first three
Speaker 1: days you're gonna be there. He already was on this.
Speaker 1: He goes, he said, uh, he said his uncle told him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't know anything about it, but his neighbor approached him,
Speaker 1: told him about and his neighbors running everything, and then
Speaker 1: they just split some of the money. But everyone on
Speaker 1: the Islands is doing this. So my current search history
Speaker 1: is renting a car. You know there's zeke gang in
Speaker 1: Hawaii because y'all came through for me when I was
Speaker 1: out there like a year ago. Look if you got
Speaker 1: the you know you got the lifted Yoda bro on
Speaker 1: the low from my man DVK hit us up day dude,
Speaker 1: I'm I am desperate. Hey, you're under right in the
Speaker 1: Yoda bro? Yeah, for sure, Man, they're gonna be who's
Speaker 1: that holda in the Yoda? Wait? What's the yoda? Toyota? Toyota?
Speaker 1: Because I'll be on I'd be on Hawaii TikTok to
Speaker 1: you know what, I've been on it too. I love
Speaker 1: that when the Yoda's I'm like, I love I love
Speaker 1: the vernacular, this slang you get from regional TikTok Somebody
Speaker 1: out there is a good person, be nice to me
Speaker 1: and wants to throw me some tips. I am open
Speaker 1: to any in all possibilities. It's a free for all.
Speaker 1: But also I want you know, I'm happy to take
Speaker 1: care of somebody otherwise what you just use uber right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's a whole on Kawaii, it's so remote that
Speaker 1: it's likely. Yeah, I looked. I was like, what if
Speaker 1: I went from this place to this place? Because I'm
Speaker 1: obviously buried the lead. I'm planning on going to Kawaii
Speaker 1: later this summer. Yeah, and so um, I was like,
Speaker 1: what if I went from there? And it was like
Speaker 1: sixty dollars, I'm all right at that point, if I
Speaker 1: go around trip that's one twenty. I can only go
Speaker 1: to those two spots. Maybe I do run a car
Speaker 1: for hundred and fifty dollars a day. That's like an
Speaker 1: old I don't know, you go. So I love a
Speaker 1: good cottage industry, man. That's that's the best. The best
Speaker 1: that capitalism has to offer. Is just like spontaneity hustling. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm all I'm saying with you, Jack, I'm all
Speaker 1: for it. I'm like, hey, yeah, I gotta assume I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do right by people. So there's got to
Speaker 1: be people out there that would try to do right
Speaker 1: by me. Let's all help each other and everybody as
Speaker 1: come on now. Back in the day, though, that's like
Speaker 1: the way that people got rich in California. Like the
Speaker 1: reason Stanford University exists is because somebody came out here
Speaker 1: and just started selling people like shovels and ship Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like that you made the most money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now I mean that you would be like stumped
Speaker 1: by some big capitalist force, like big hurts would just
Speaker 1: like destroy you. But back in the day, that's how
Speaker 1: capitalism worked and why it worked. Yeah, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? Yes, I think weirdly
Speaker 1: the opinions of Twitter scholars have become so overrated now
Speaker 1: because we used to live in a world where like
Speaker 1: people only spoke when they really had something to say, right,
Speaker 1: and like you have to like go out of your
Speaker 1: way to like get published and like prove that you
Speaker 1: were smart and blah blah blah. And now it's like
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like I don't know.
Speaker 1: Even like Malcolm Gladwell, who I think is very smart
Speaker 1: in respect, like any time he has an opinion on anything,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, Like, like I think, how
Speaker 1: about this. I think you should only have an opinion
Speaker 1: about things that we know you're an expert in. But
Speaker 1: like when people are like cool recipe, I'm like I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear this, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I don't like just leave me alone or like
Speaker 1: or just like this idea of like, let me tell
Speaker 1: you a story and then you should like parentheses thread
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, I saw this thread. We're just
Speaker 1: like this very prominent black scholar. I'll leave his name
Speaker 1: out of it, but I'll text you guys on the side,
Speaker 1: of course and tell you of course, you know, this
Speaker 1: is like someone who you know during the uprising of
Speaker 1: last summer and all this stuff is that you know
Speaker 1: pretty has some pretty poignant and smart things to say.
Speaker 1: But then he goes on a thread about how he
Speaker 1: was walking down the street he started speaking to a
Speaker 1: home uh an unhoused person. I'm sorry, and um. The
Speaker 1: person's like, hey, I recognize you. You're so and so
Speaker 1: the professor and like educator. And he's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is me. How do you know who I am?
Speaker 1: And the unhoused person said to him said, just because
Speaker 1: I doesn't don't have a home doesn't mean I don't
Speaker 1: have access to a library and to knowledge. And so
Speaker 1: then he ends the thread by saying he's like, so
Speaker 1: I gave that man the four dollars I had in
Speaker 1: my pocket, and then I went home and I donated
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars to my local library, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you should have done that reverse just you run you
Speaker 1: so you gave someone who's living on the street four
Speaker 1: bucks who knew who you were, Like it's so and
Speaker 1: I was like, see, this is why I don't I
Speaker 1: don't need to know anything about anybody, like please just
Speaker 1: like like I think you should get on Twitter if
Speaker 1: you're an expert of any sort and be like again
Speaker 1: like yes, aliens are here, here's the proof, or like hey,
Speaker 1: this is how you can save some money. But like
Speaker 1: I anything else where, like especially when they like give
Speaker 1: you these glimpses into their personal lives, like me and
Speaker 1: the spouse headed up to so and so I'm just
Speaker 1: like nil de grass Tyson's the worst of it. I think,
Speaker 1: you know. I'm just like like if your personality is
Speaker 1: ruining movies, which are like objectively like just the easiest
Speaker 1: thing to enjoy, like outside of candy, Like all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm out, you know, pielt de Grasse Tyson
Speaker 1: is so I feel like there he's like a reason
Speaker 1: I used to be interested in space and then one
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I no longer engage with space
Speaker 1: news like I would also around on being interested in
Speaker 1: space because of him. So yeah, I would say that
Speaker 1: the opinions of experts, the personal opinions of experts are
Speaker 1: over what is uh? What is something that you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Chocolate mixed with fruit? Mm hmm okay, mixing
Speaker 1: it up? Okay, So sweets are ovar reached under I
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. Okay, go on contradictions, y'all,
Speaker 1: which which fruits fruits I hate? Okay, I'll say this.
Speaker 1: I don't like orange and chocolate. Never could be able
Speaker 1: to get down with that. If it's overly citrusy I've
Speaker 1: been I've had trouble, but I appreciate that, Okay. And
Speaker 1: we don't know what happened to you, guys that ruined you,
Speaker 1: but you know it's I feel you a little bit
Speaker 1: that like that, having those like strands, the citrus like
Speaker 1: fibrousness used to funk with me a little bit to
Speaker 1: combine that with chocolate, but I got over that real
Speaker 1: quib I would have thought, it's the acidity that's that
Speaker 1: could also be it? That could also be it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is this also? This feels like the most hermogeny conversation
Speaker 1: I have about how do they make you feel what's
Speaker 1: your ideal fruit chocolate combo? Berries with milk or with
Speaker 1: dark chocolate, always dark chocolate. Okay, Miles, So do you
Speaker 1: don't work with orange and chocolate? Is there a chocolate
Speaker 1: fruit combo that you the ones that makes sense, like
Speaker 1: you know, bananas and chocolate, Like I can get down
Speaker 1: with that, like a chocolate banana crepe, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like when I'm in Japan, like, yeah, crips
Speaker 1: are so good. Yeah, Like you know, that's when I
Speaker 1: those combinations kind of get to me. But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's it's really because I remember once like some like
Speaker 1: European orange chocolate or something my parents had laying around
Speaker 1: the house and I thought like, oh, here we go chocolate,
Speaker 1: and it just felt it was such a violent combo
Speaker 1: in my mouth that I was like, I can't this isn't.
Speaker 1: My childish mind cannot handle this combination. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of acidity. Yeah, it's a little too much, a little
Speaker 1: too much. So he's just talking about like a chocolate
Speaker 1: from like a box of chocolate that had like an
Speaker 1: orange cream filling. Is that or like they have ones
Speaker 1: that are innately like infused with like it's like an
Speaker 1: orange chocolate or like I've had the ones where it
Speaker 1: will be like candied sort of citrus fruit with chocolate
Speaker 1: around it, and I'm like, what are we doing here
Speaker 1: that I'm a purist, you know, I'm a little I'm
Speaker 1: a little closed minded when it comes to then though,
Speaker 1: Zara comedy. That's z a h r a comedy. Your money. Now,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break while people go
Speaker 1: do that, and we will be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and there's a new conservative answer, new absurd conservative answer
Speaker 1: to the sixteen nineteen project. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: we have to spend much time on it because, as
Speaker 1: we said, we've discussed all the time that you know,
Speaker 1: systems of oppression, they maintain their power when people are
Speaker 1: completely made ignorant of the context, the history, the pervasiveness,
Speaker 1: and then you can just be like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. That's why the sixteen
Speaker 1: nineteen Project is so hated, so hated by racist because
Speaker 1: just a clear light on the you know, origins and
Speaker 1: machinations of star spangled racism that we have in this country,
Speaker 1: and it takes away like a lot of lazy talking
Speaker 1: points like when kids are like, well slaves, like we're
Speaker 1: educated or look, civil War was about our group business. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you should actually that's what someone told you because they
Speaker 1: don't want you to know how horror horrifying this entire
Speaker 1: institution was. So again, we've seen a lot of people,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the UNC Chapel Hill trying to
Speaker 1: take away uh Nicolehannah Jones, uh Tenure and things like that.
Speaker 1: People are scared of this because it's just true. It's
Speaker 1: just truth telling about our history. And so Greg Abbott
Speaker 1: in Texas is now doing his darndest to have his
Speaker 1: own version to obscure the racist history of this country.
Speaker 1: It's called the eighteen thirty six project, which is a
Speaker 1: reference to the Texas Fight for independence. Or you could
Speaker 1: just say, you know, colonialism and empire, because I mean
Speaker 1: you could look at the Aluma and say, maybe that
Speaker 1: was actually the worst blunders in military history, was completely
Speaker 1: told a different way to create you know, more energy
Speaker 1: for anti federalism or white martyrdom in the face of
Speaker 1: a brown invader. But that's for another lesson. In this instance,
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is essentially what it wing
Speaker 1: is creating an advisory committee quote designed to promote the
Speaker 1: state's history to Texas residents, largely through pamphlets given to
Speaker 1: people receiving driver's licenses. It also awards students on their
Speaker 1: knowledge of the state's history and values. But some of
Speaker 1: these specific bills that are part of this House built
Speaker 1: three seven nine says quote, it will limit how Texas
Speaker 1: educators can discuss current events and racism in the US.
Speaker 1: The eighteen thirty six project also requires the promotion of
Speaker 1: quote the Christian heritage of the state. Uh huh um,
Speaker 1: you know. Nicole Hannah jo Jones rightly pointed out in
Speaker 1: a thread that this is nothing new. There have been
Speaker 1: gag orders on discussion of abolition or like anti slavery
Speaker 1: talk since the beginnings of this country, and this is
Speaker 1: yet another form of this where they're trying to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's just we're gonna steer this conversation where
Speaker 1: we need to uh and set rules on how much
Speaker 1: truth you can tell people. Yeah, there's a there's a
Speaker 1: talking about underrated movies. There's movie Star that where the
Speaker 1: like struggle to tell the story of like Texas history
Speaker 1: like figures prominently. That's right, really good, But I mean
Speaker 1: it's like that whole that the whole idea of you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of Texas independence is completely stripped away. All
Speaker 1: of the racism and was you know, saying the idea
Speaker 1: that before all of you know, like the timeline of
Speaker 1: saying like, well, it was the overstepping of of these
Speaker 1: governments that like created like this tyranny that they had
Speaker 1: to fight against. They already had plans to steal this
Speaker 1: land from way before any of that, and using things
Speaker 1: like we were taking this land because they are quote
Speaker 1: lesser people. It's all steeped in racism. And of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you should probably get ahead of your own you know,
Speaker 1: like there's no there's no clean state history in any
Speaker 1: state really you really want to look at it. But
Speaker 1: Texas has a lot of nerve. Let's be real, Like
Speaker 1: most of the academic books we used for grade school
Speaker 1: kids come out are published in Texas, and they have
Speaker 1: outsized power for it. Yeah. Yeah. And the way those
Speaker 1: things described what slavery was was work for immigrants bananas,
Speaker 1: you know. The way they try to constantly obscure and
Speaker 1: put down Juneteenth celebrations like this is this is a
Speaker 1: not a people of Texas problem, but a government of
Speaker 1: Texas problem, I would say, And it's just it's hyper frustrating,
Speaker 1: I guess just to I mean, Miles already said it
Speaker 1: like it's nothing new. But while the audacity to be like, uh,
Speaker 1: you're super in depth, well researched, verified work like life's work,
Speaker 1: cannot be taught because it offends my delicate sensibilities. I
Speaker 1: don't like when people talk about racism. It makes me
Speaker 1: uncomfortable that black people already have so little history, like
Speaker 1: specifically in this country that we can live to with
Speaker 1: actual names and dates. So much of our stuff has
Speaker 1: been a race that we're historians are literally guessing, you know,
Speaker 1: what recipes were Martha Washington ends and which recipes were
Speaker 1: her slaves, and and trying to differentiate so that his
Speaker 1: work can be honored and respected and taught. And it's
Speaker 1: it's it's really frustrating to have to sit and listen
Speaker 1: to people empower try to continue to erase the little
Speaker 1: bit of history that we we can trace. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: especially because it it goes it runs a foul of
Speaker 1: the mythology of these places where it's like you see
Speaker 1: just good, good, good old Christian people trying to forge
Speaker 1: our way through this country and when we did it
Speaker 1: like this by you know, scaring off people with violence. Um,
Speaker 1: and we don't want to talk about how much so
Speaker 1: much of everything is either stolen or exploited from the
Speaker 1: work or labor of other people. But that's just the
Speaker 1: pattern that will can like it's well, we've will never
Speaker 1: break that cycle. Even how we look at things today.
Speaker 1: We have you know, as videos going viral of people
Speaker 1: who are gig workers begging for better tips because the
Speaker 1: wages they're paid to deliver food are not enough to survive.
Speaker 1: And we're still like, you know, some it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's that's a problem. But maybe in this
Speaker 1: very singular thing rather than like, no, we have a
Speaker 1: history of doing this, like this is our entire countries
Speaker 1: just built on this, and we still can't zoom out
Speaker 1: enough to really take that all in and begin to
Speaker 1: do something better. Yeah, And then they call the other
Speaker 1: Conservatives call the other side snowflakes and claim they're over
Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, I can't handle history. Okay, damn,
Speaker 1: all right, there's a new pro public report I want
Speaker 1: to talk about real quick. Uh that basically is illegal
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Uh, They're yeah, they're basically revealing these
Speaker 1: dudes tax individual tax information. They're like, we're not going
Speaker 1: to tell you where we got it. But their argument
Speaker 1: is that this has greater public value than like not
Speaker 1: doing it. Essentially that like there's enough public value, so
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, it's not illegal, Like it's just
Speaker 1: when when they interviewed Bloomberg's people, for instance, they were like,
Speaker 1: and we think this is indefensible to reveal the tax
Speaker 1: information about private individuals, so that they'll probably be sued
Speaker 1: over this, but it's worth it. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If you want to actually do stuff that's for the
Speaker 1: greater good, it gets you into trouble because if people
Speaker 1: in power are correct pieces of ship that of course
Speaker 1: don't want this ship revealed. Like that's exactly speaking to it.
Speaker 1: I just said, it's so frustrating. It's this evil cycle.
Speaker 1: So it's like, shout out to them for actually doing this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get us all right, all right, So yeah, not to
Speaker 1: overcomplicate this because it's like evil as fun. But basically
Speaker 1: what they did is they looked at not just income,
Speaker 1: which is like you know, we know how income is taxed.
Speaker 1: They look at how much income you make in a
Speaker 1: giving year, and then they tax a certain portion of that. Well,
Speaker 1: the way rich people do it is they grow their
Speaker 1: wealth by having like stockholdings, uh that go up in
Speaker 1: value and you know, they become they make a hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollars in value in a year, but they don't
Speaker 1: actually sell that stock. So then I don't have to
Speaker 1: pay taxes on that um. And so just to put
Speaker 1: that into perspective, Uh, between two thousand and six and
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, Jeff Bezos is wet wealth shot up
Speaker 1: by a hundred and twenty billion dollars. And again we
Speaker 1: like our brain can't even process what a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars means, but it's just an unimaginable amount
Speaker 1: of wealth that could solve world hunger like ten times over. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: typical Americans his age paid more in taxes than they
Speaker 1: saw it in wealth growth. That is, for every one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars of wealth growth over that period, a typical
Speaker 1: American paid a hundred and sixty dollars in taxes. Bezos
Speaker 1: paid one dollar. So we're paying the average American is
Speaker 1: paying more in taxes than their wealth is growing over
Speaker 1: a period of time. Because the way that most of
Speaker 1: us make our money and grow our wealth is through
Speaker 1: our income. But because the extremely wealthy like Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: and Warren Buffett and Mike Bloomberg like are all just
Speaker 1: foregoing and income basically but still making billions and billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars through growing their stockholdings, they are
Speaker 1: able to pay less than we are. And so you know,
Speaker 1: think about if you only had to pay one dollar
Speaker 1: on every hundred dollars that you may I don't even
Speaker 1: say that ship. You don't even say that ship. It's
Speaker 1: so funny because everyone's first fucking brutal lesson with this
Speaker 1: fucked up system that we have is when you get
Speaker 1: that first fucking job and as when you're whatever age
Speaker 1: you are, you're in a teenager or whatever, and you're like, fuck, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm making x an hour times everything I did. Oh ship,
Speaker 1: I'm getting like two hundred bucks in this check. And
Speaker 1: then you get it and you're like, what the fund
Speaker 1: is all this other ship they just took out of
Speaker 1: here when I made this money. And then even to
Speaker 1: know that these people are like living the fantasy version
Speaker 1: that like we were as kids, where it's like okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe like a dollar comes out like I can work
Speaker 1: with that twenties six percent or whatever the funk. It
Speaker 1: all ends up being Oh, it's fucking infuriating and also
Speaker 1: leaves me again that we have to start bullying these
Speaker 1: motherfucker's Yes, thank you. So that's what we're talking about yesterday,
Speaker 1: is just we need to make Jeff Bezos the most
Speaker 1: hated person on earth and then make sure he knows
Speaker 1: that because good on the Megan the Stallion cover yesterday,
Speaker 1: he clearly wants to be liked, because he's doing this,
Speaker 1: like going risking his life to be liked, to go
Speaker 1: to space, like he is clearly desperate for public approval.
Speaker 1: I mean even the way he dresses, you can tell
Speaker 1: he's desperate to be liked, a little loose, and he's
Speaker 1: been like like the lifting weights and eating almonds for
Speaker 1: the past like fifteen years to try and get ripped,
Speaker 1: which is like nobody wants to see that man, But
Speaker 1: like that's I think it eats him up. Beside that
Speaker 1: people like Elon Musk even think they should, but I
Speaker 1: think he really like, fuck man, I'm cooler than Elon Musk. Look,
Speaker 1: let's do a video. I'm wearing a cowboy hadn't drinking
Speaker 1: a beer with my brother I've really talked to. That's
Speaker 1: what I love about this report is that so rich
Speaker 1: people have been taking advantage of America's sort of you know,
Speaker 1: being just incredibly horny for individualism, like him wanting to
Speaker 1: like lionize anybody who becomes a public celebrity, so they
Speaker 1: make themselves public celebrities. Elon Musk host s n L.
Speaker 1: Bill Gates gets to like lecture on anything he wants
Speaker 1: to get a speech on, and like assumed to be
Speaker 1: an expert. Warren Buffett gets like a flattering documentary on
Speaker 1: HBO and pro public is basically using the fact that
Speaker 1: they have created these public profiles for themselves and being
Speaker 1: like that is going to make sense to people. That's
Speaker 1: the one way to make the theft that wealthy people
Speaker 1: are getting away with makes sense to people is by
Speaker 1: using those public profiles and being like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: how much this individual motherfucker like is stealing from your
Speaker 1: basically while you pay more in taxes than you actually make. Right,
Speaker 1: So in a way, you should you should be able
Speaker 1: to pull up to one of these people and be like,
Speaker 1: where is my Lamborghini? Yeah, because you that's a minimum.
Speaker 1: That's we're looking at that you've siphoned out from me,
Speaker 1: so let me get that. And God d that's why
Speaker 1: I wish again there was just places where you could
Speaker 1: run into these billionaires and have all their goon like
Speaker 1: I d f former security guards like haranguing you or
Speaker 1: trying to keep you away where you can really get
Speaker 1: in Jeff Bazel's space ship and everybody knows you a
Speaker 1: fucking frog. I mean, shout, ask you that dude, you
Speaker 1: flap that French an like God, we are, we could,
Speaker 1: we wish, we all wish it. I mean, God knows
Speaker 1: how he's gonna be bunished, but like damn, like that's
Speaker 1: the ship we do wish we could do. Straight in
Speaker 1: my veins, You're like, yo, you smacked your look you
Speaker 1: wanted to smack the ship out, your leader and you did.
Speaker 1: That must have felt good. It must have felt really good.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about because these numbers are crazy. They
Speaker 1: pay a dollar for every hundred or whatever the fuck,
Speaker 1: And it reminds me because I keep thinking about how
Speaker 1: miles to what you're you were saying, like when you
Speaker 1: were attained, but when I was six, my like we
Speaker 1: on Halloween Halloween was a day I learned to hate
Speaker 1: the government. Was my dad would like have I told
Speaker 1: this story before, I don't know, but like my dad
Speaker 1: at the end of trick or treating, we had all
Speaker 1: our candy out and he would walk through because we
Speaker 1: would be treating our candies. He'd be like, taxman's here
Speaker 1: here to take ten percent. That is all the numbers.
Speaker 1: I know, that's huge, and he what he would take.
Speaker 1: And he wouldn't just take something like the like the
Speaker 1: gross circus peanut candies. He would take like some snickers
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean, yeah he would. But he was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta learn about uncle Sam. You gotta learn abot
Speaker 1: how the government works. I was like, I fucking hate
Speaker 1: the government when I was six years old because my
Speaker 1: dad taught us about taxes and really like it's just
Speaker 1: it's wild now that I'm an adult to be like
Speaker 1: this ship is so fucking corrupt and it feels so
Speaker 1: out of it, just so out of hand. And again,
Speaker 1: which is going back to the same point, it's like
Speaker 1: we need people really in the system that aren't sucking
Speaker 1: trying to all be aoc and like actually like infiltrating
Speaker 1: this damn system and it's so frustrating, and you know,
Speaker 1: I can't say too much ship because I was like
Speaker 1: when I was like because I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: doing going to marches and doing this and that, and
Speaker 1: I was like, do I want to do this and
Speaker 1: really do this or do I want to pursue comedy,
Speaker 1: And selfishly I was like, I want to do comedy
Speaker 1: because I do want to be happy because I all
Speaker 1: the like how fucked up and deep and how unchangeable
Speaker 1: things really seem, and how it felt like even if
Speaker 1: I got into politics, like even the most change I
Speaker 1: could do would still leave me really fucking sad. You know,
Speaker 1: like it's really shitty how when you think about how
Speaker 1: fucked up it is, because it's like my family is
Speaker 1: from El Savador, and like the ship that's going on
Speaker 1: in Al Saboador right now is like so crazy, and
Speaker 1: it's just every like every topic we talked about, all
Speaker 1: you guys talked about all this show, it's just it's like, fuck, man,
Speaker 1: if this ship is relentless, relentlessly endless, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's the end we're just waiting for. I think saying
Speaker 1: to die, what to die, or just like the tone
Speaker 1: of what we talked about to always be The pressure
Speaker 1: we're feeling is because the weight of the wealthy is
Speaker 1: being just put onto us, all of us. Ship. They
Speaker 1: just take every day. They are the same people who
Speaker 1: pay are fucking cut our paychecks, but at the same
Speaker 1: time they don't pay ship. Like this whole thing is
Speaker 1: built upon exploitation of your work and your wealth and
Speaker 1: things like that. And I think right now it's much
Speaker 1: easier to be like fun man. I want to make
Speaker 1: it like Elon Man, I won't warm Buffett money, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's like that, And I think that is the
Speaker 1: because we're the most propagandized fucking beings on earth that
Speaker 1: we can't even be able to like only a few
Speaker 1: people are like no, man, it's just these couple of
Speaker 1: fucking greedy fox that we're unwilling to tax. Or because
Speaker 1: the way the system is. That's like, you know, for me,
Speaker 1: like leaving politics very specifically to like just follow my
Speaker 1: ship in comedy and just do what if the funk
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. It was because I realized, you know,
Speaker 1: this system is, it can't be changed and it can't
Speaker 1: be infiltrated. Like the real substantive change is going to
Speaker 1: be like, when you know, American people begin to understand
Speaker 1: how much we have to work collectively to be and
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, ship, they ured out how to
Speaker 1: fucking stop working and put the brakes on. Do you
Speaker 1: think the pandemic opened a lot of people's eyes about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know where we're at now,
Speaker 1: like what that means measurably, but you can tell just
Speaker 1: from like reading like profiles on people who like after
Speaker 1: the pandemic were like, Yeah, I'm done doing this other
Speaker 1: ship like I'm done being a bartender actually, like it's
Speaker 1: too much work. I don't like the energy. But people
Speaker 1: are pivoting to like I want to organize better outcomes
Speaker 1: for people who work in bars, Like that's more fulfilling
Speaker 1: to me. And I think I think once people get
Speaker 1: I think, for yeah, the churn of capitalism stops for
Speaker 1: a second, and people were like, Yo, what the fuck
Speaker 1: do Yeah. I think the only thing I would correct
Speaker 1: in what you said is that it's not that it's
Speaker 1: impossible to change. It's that the change that we desire
Speaker 1: isn't impossible to see in our lifetime. But I definitely
Speaker 1: think that the chain will be small, but it will
Speaker 1: be needs to be constant and needs to be um
Speaker 1: with as many people that I don't they think like us,
Speaker 1: but how maybe progressive ideas that go in there and
Speaker 1: they do with the best that they can with this
Speaker 1: fuck up system because you know, hundreds of years of bullshit,
Speaker 1: you know, and and um and I think as you
Speaker 1: see it play out in more places, because it's not
Speaker 1: just people like in the inner cities and things talking
Speaker 1: about gentrification, you're seeing it happen and like catchum Idaho
Speaker 1: or like it's near like where all these celebrities and
Speaker 1: like rich people by properties and it's driving up the
Speaker 1: cost of living for just these normal people in this
Speaker 1: small town that like their town is like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we're thinking of letting people pitch tents and part there
Speaker 1: are vs to live there because we we haven't we
Speaker 1: don't have any regulation on affordable housing that like even
Speaker 1: people in these Midwestern places like what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: Like why are wealthy people allowed to just turn up
Speaker 1: the rent prices on us out of fucking nowhere? Like
Speaker 1: we're the people that served them and they want us
Speaker 1: to live in fucking tents And it's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: is so crazy. Yeah fuck it's just the limitation of
Speaker 1: the human mind. Like I can't conceive of a billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Nobody can conceive of a billion dollars. Who doesn't have
Speaker 1: a billion dollars? Like nuts? And the most money I
Speaker 1: can conceive of is like that scene in blow where
Speaker 1: they had all the cash in like legal boxes, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's a lot of money. But that's
Speaker 1: the most I could even fathom from money. Ever. Think about,
Speaker 1: like how you could spend all the money you could
Speaker 1: possibly like get your mind around in a single year
Speaker 1: and you would still have hundreds of million dollars. Fucking crazy.
Speaker 1: When I worked at when I was a bank manager,
Speaker 1: it was I was responsible for wiring like millions upon
Speaker 1: millions of dollars every day. That was one of the
Speaker 1: things I had to do the first thing in the morning.
Speaker 1: And it's fucking fucked with me. Man. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. I hate that I have to
Speaker 1: do this. I'm really like I felt like I don't
Speaker 1: want to use the term slave because that's the you know,
Speaker 1: a little ratilus. It's like it just felt I just
Speaker 1: felt I felt so small, like in the medieval Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it was the beginning of me starting to
Speaker 1: be like, I do not want to do this. This
Speaker 1: feels so fucking weird. It feels out of touch, it
Speaker 1: feels unnecessary. Like, also, what are these companies really doing,
Speaker 1: you know, because I mean, if you know anything about anything,
Speaker 1: you know none of these companies are just clean all
Speaker 1: the way through. It's not possible to have that much
Speaker 1: money and not exploit labor and people. And it's just
Speaker 1: it's so it's just bizarre, the money and we and
Speaker 1: what's it sucked up is that money isn't even real.
Speaker 1: It's a concept that was created and and yet here
Speaker 1: we are. It's controlling everything. It's sucked up. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: just think about the amount of money that people are
Speaker 1: making off of moving those wire transfers from one thing
Speaker 1: to another compared and like not adding value to anyone's
Speaker 1: life other than their clients or whatever. And meanwhile, people
Speaker 1: are who are actually serving people, uh and actually serving
Speaker 1: a purpose in their energies don't make ship and then
Speaker 1: are made to pay a hundred sixty dollars in taxes
Speaker 1: for every hundred dollars of wealth growth, and that makes
Speaker 1: them hate taxes, which then the billionaires used to their
Speaker 1: advantage by being like, yeah, taxes suck, am I right,
Speaker 1: let's let's get rid of all these high taxes. They're
Speaker 1: killing us. Am I right. Elon must didn't pay any time.
Speaker 1: He paid zero dollars in taxes. Milkshake, these assholes. You know.
Speaker 1: I also was I'm just like, we would respect these
Speaker 1: people a little bit if they were like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna pay taxes, but I'm gonna give this city
Speaker 1: a million fucking dollars. Like when Tulsa Tulsa, and you know,
Speaker 1: they have their issues, but they put that park together
Speaker 1: out there. It's this free park that's available to everybody,
Speaker 1: and it was like the wealthy, which I'm assuming it's
Speaker 1: like the guilty white people. You know, it's their money,
Speaker 1: and they open this insanely huge but free outside park
Speaker 1: that is available and you know, for anyone to use,
Speaker 1: and it's beautiful, and you know, the historical implications are there,
Speaker 1: but I was like, well, let's sucking nice that these
Speaker 1: millionaires did this because the city needed it. And and
Speaker 1: again it's Tulsa, so they have their own bullshit that
Speaker 1: they have anything where they can just sort of wash
Speaker 1: over their own acts by doing like these little yeah,
Speaker 1: but I just like, and it's not like the best
Speaker 1: use of money. But I was just like, that was
Speaker 1: the first time I was like, oh, yes, some millionaires,
Speaker 1: billionaires can actually do something for cities, they just choose
Speaker 1: not to. Like it was just that that's that is
Speaker 1: how I felt about it when I got to like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I enjoyed it and you know, got to
Speaker 1: see it before it opened, and that was cool as
Speaker 1: a comedian, but it definitely like sucked me up because
Speaker 1: I was just like, these people and their money, it's
Speaker 1: just too much. I'm sorry, and we're taking a break,
Speaker 1: and we're taking a break and we're bad back and
Speaker 1: I knew I knew this was not gonna drop like
Speaker 1: really troubling truth is on us when it was like
Speaker 1: that that sixty minutes report, that segment that had like
Speaker 1: some really cool shit in it, but then it closed
Speaker 1: with Marco Rubio being like the face of life, we
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't know, so that there's this report
Speaker 1: that people have been talking about for years that was
Speaker 1: I think at least partially like brought about by Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio being uh scared of the UFOs and basically what
Speaker 1: the people who have been briefed about it say that
Speaker 1: it is not going to confirm the existence of alien life,
Speaker 1: which is so shocked me that anybody thought that was
Speaker 1: going to happen, that they were just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: we figured out it's aliens, y'all were that's what it
Speaker 1: was anyways. Yeah, it's just more confirmation of what we
Speaker 1: already know, which is that we don't know anything. Big
Speaker 1: Tic Tach. Is that related to the Big tic Tech
Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago. I loved that Big
Speaker 1: tic Tech. Yeah, with the Big Tic Tach. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: they never tell you what the Big Tic Tech really is,
Speaker 1: and I'm sick of being teased about it. I want
Speaker 1: to know what's in there. I want to know who's
Speaker 1: in there it would be. I feel like, honestly, best
Speaker 1: case scenario is it's aliens, but probably it's not, and
Speaker 1: it's something really scary inside the TIC Tech. I just
Speaker 1: I'm like, just do what y'all gotta do at this point.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it. Like, if y'all, if
Speaker 1: it's aliens, do what you gotta do. If it's just
Speaker 1: some weird secret society with future tech, do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. But like the teasing, it's like just leave
Speaker 1: us along, like you know what I mean, like just
Speaker 1: do the thing, like do the thing, do the thing
Speaker 1: you need to do, but like just like moving in shadows,
Speaker 1: and you know the fact that we have to hear
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio will be like I'm the guy to talk
Speaker 1: about it, you know what I mean. It's whatever you're
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish is already not being accomplished because he's
Speaker 1: now involved with it, you know. Now. That being said,
Speaker 1: if it was like a dream scenario, it would be
Speaker 1: really funny if they were just like where angel and
Speaker 1: everyone was like, oh my god. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: that's what I do. Think that's what the conservative side
Speaker 1: is hoping for, because like I'm seeing this covered in
Speaker 1: conservative media as it's not aliens, y'all. Because they didn't
Speaker 1: say it's aliens. People are like, see, we told you
Speaker 1: it's not aliens, which like nobody was saying that this
Speaker 1: report was going to be like aliens definitively no, and
Speaker 1: nobody like I don't know, I don't know anybody who
Speaker 1: thinks that, like, yes, it's definitely aliens. It's just like
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by the fact that we don't know what
Speaker 1: the funk it is, Like, that's that's interesting to me. Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't think it's aliens. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. I don't think there's any other answer,
Speaker 1: like just well, I just think statistically, it's like what
Speaker 1: are we what are we doing? Right? Like, what do
Speaker 1: we think it's? It's either and this is like so
Speaker 1: this is gonna get really convoluted for a second. But
Speaker 1: it's like either we are becoming closer to viewing an
Speaker 1: objective reality, right and because of where because we're getting
Speaker 1: smarter and we're viewing an objective reality, we're seeing things
Speaker 1: that language has kind of sliced from our pur view
Speaker 1: by learning certain words, right, you know, like and again
Speaker 1: no I'm Chomsky. A few other people talk about, you
Speaker 1: know how like language dictates literally what you're right, And
Speaker 1: it's like the world is completely different from us to
Speaker 1: a spider to a dog, just by like the mental
Speaker 1: fitness that you have. So so it's either that or
Speaker 1: it's aliens. But like, I mean, what's the is the
Speaker 1: other you know, like option on the table that it's
Speaker 1: what it's tech from a different like country. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think that's likely, at least I hope
Speaker 1: it's not that, But I think that's what conservatives hope
Speaker 1: it is, because that like takes them down a direction
Speaker 1: of we need to like tool up for the coming
Speaker 1: like World War four or whatever. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: against them Chinese space ship. There's just I I agree,
Speaker 1: there's like an overall hopefulness to at least the reason
Speaker 1: that I hope it's it's aliens is that like they
Speaker 1: are just observing us or like doing work in the background.
Speaker 1: That suggests that our fears of like a warlike alien
Speaker 1: species it's gonna come and murder us all might just
Speaker 1: be us imagining like a future based on our history.
Speaker 1: Like the further back you go, the more warlike humanity is,
Speaker 1: and like there's reason to believe that the further we progress,
Speaker 1: the less likely will be to intentionally kill each other,
Speaker 1: which would be like this group or whatever entity that's
Speaker 1: behind these things, like is much more advanced than us,
Speaker 1: and maybe they're just I don't know, like maybe this
Speaker 1: is just the equivalent of like a fish seeing a
Speaker 1: person snorkeling, you know, and they're just like what the
Speaker 1: fuck and then they disappear and you're just like, well
Speaker 1: that was weird. You know. It's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard I feel like whenever UFOs come up,
Speaker 1: like I obviously they exist in some capacity, but they're
Speaker 1: but they're never like the study of UFOs aren't helped
Speaker 1: by the people who super believe in them, because anyone
Speaker 1: I've talked to that is like UFOs are a real thing,
Speaker 1: are like objectively a scary person that I didn't want
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time with. But but it is,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I'm I'm trying to remember what
Speaker 1: movie is making me think this, but the like I've
Speaker 1: I've definitely seen it like proposed in like bullshit theories
Speaker 1: and pop culture stuff where it's like, oh, it's the
Speaker 1: American government and then they make the report to make
Speaker 1: it seem like they don't know what it is, but
Speaker 1: they do know what it is, and it's like whatever,
Speaker 1: peeing in the pool yourself and then being like it
Speaker 1: feels like they're pissing this pool, which which I've done
Speaker 1: just pulling from like my lived experience. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I I've I hope it's aliens. It's like
Speaker 1: the little what was the the Amy Adams Alien movie.
Speaker 1: The Aliens came and they're like, we're friendly. We just
Speaker 1: want to let you know you're gonna date Jeremy Renner.
Speaker 1: It's like such a weird here's here's that movie. It's like,
Speaker 1: so they had to come to us. They're an advanced
Speaker 1: unstuck from time civilization, and they had to come to
Speaker 1: us to get help in three thousand years. Like it's
Speaker 1: just like I was like, what are we doing here there?
Speaker 1: It's just a it's an impossibility, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like if someone came to me right now, like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm the smartest living creature in you know, the known universe,
Speaker 1: but I'm need you're helping three thousand years, I'd be
Speaker 1: like you're lying, Like there's nothing. There's nothing I'm doing
Speaker 1: three thousand years from now that I'm not doing right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this is I this
Speaker 1: is the peak, you know, And so uh that's that's
Speaker 1: Yass's critique of Arrival, a movie that came out four
Speaker 1: years Your silence was definite. I feel like these have
Speaker 1: more in common just based on like the one anecdote
Speaker 1: that's like unequivocally it was like a fighter pilot who
Speaker 1: like went up to it and it just like kind
Speaker 1: of circled in front of him, but like almost like
Speaker 1: playfully and then just like zipped away. It really reminded
Speaker 1: me of like a Spielberg alien, like just like kind
Speaker 1: of a friendly, like goofy alien. It was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, playful and then just doesn't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with us really at this point, which we also
Speaker 1: what I read this report in Popular Mechanics, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: years ago, and that's kind of what they proposed right there,
Speaker 1: like any advanced civilization is knows we pose no threat
Speaker 1: to it. So they're sending satellites there were you know,
Speaker 1: like there's not an alien in that space cart going
Speaker 1: like WHOA cool the pilot they're looking at us. They're
Speaker 1: like this place it's like smokey and dirty, like let's
Speaker 1: get out of here, bring our little drone back or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, And like I think that's the biggest thing,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I think that's probably the most sane
Speaker 1: version of it. But I don't think you can even
Speaker 1: propose that version without like three of my neighbors walking
Speaker 1: outside with a rifle right now, Like it's just like
Speaker 1: We're like, no, no, no, they don't care. There's not
Speaker 1: even beings in those things. They'd be like, it's spacexic,
Speaker 1: you know, like and it just don't you know, Like
Speaker 1: it's just we're dealing with psycho pass. There's just no
Speaker 1: way to be like, oh, I don't know it's there.
Speaker 1: They just happened to be smart and checking us out,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because I'll also say, like,
Speaker 1: even if it was your neighbor who you've known for years,
Speaker 1: if they were like, hey, I'm just coming by your
Speaker 1: house to check on things, you'd be like why you know,
Speaker 1: so the fact that it would give me an alien
Speaker 1: I get. I get the anxiety looking in through your windows. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure that everything was okay here?
Speaker 1: Were cool? All Right. That's gonna do it for this
Speaker 1: week's weekly Zeite. Guys, please like and review the show.
