Speaker 1: what's new with you? Um? Not a mood shoust just
Speaker 1: doing some you know, house housewarming kind of things. We
Speaker 1: finally got a dinner table. We hung up some lovely
Speaker 1: pictures in my office. Um, I mean I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: see one picture, well you see one picture back there,
Speaker 1: but I assure you there are three whole pictures in
Speaker 1: front of in front of Trump. I feel you two
Speaker 1: to three weeks for my camera around for one, because
Speaker 1: you might recognize Jack that picture over there Portland, that
Speaker 1: is one Dr Jack Ramsey and it looks like Gandhi
Speaker 1: going through the streets of India. Indeed, my most white clothing.
Speaker 1: He's sitting next to DJ Daniel's mom, my god mother. Indeed,
Speaker 1: keep it in the family here. And I just want
Speaker 1: to highlight this for a second. Is that you can
Speaker 1: kind of see it, but right above Dr Jack's head
Speaker 1: is a sign that says way to go Mighty Mo. Now,
Speaker 1: the funny thing about the sign is it says way
Speaker 1: to go mighty Mo, and then in parentheses next to mo,
Speaker 1: it says more ree in the case you didn't know,
Speaker 1: and then even further down below that, it says Luke
Speaker 1: Maurice Luke so Maurice Lucas right. Yes, So this person
Speaker 1: didn't think that you would understand the phrase if it
Speaker 1: just said way to go, which was like exactly very
Speaker 1: like way to go Air Jordan's uh. And then in
Speaker 1: Prince Michael Michael that Michael Jordan's basketball player who just
Speaker 1: won a championship precisely specifically, and Portland wasn't used to winning,
Speaker 1: you know, that was that was new for them at
Speaker 1: the time. This is seventy seven when Portland Trailblazers. Daniel
Speaker 1: and my grandfather coached the Portland Trailblazers. They won a
Speaker 1: title and I don't think they've won one since. But
Speaker 1: that was a big That was huge huge. Do y'all
Speaker 1: eat free over there? Uh? You should be able to? Yes,
Speaker 1: almost started saying I work with you all when I did.
Speaker 1: When we did our live show in Portland on a
Speaker 1: told cab driver that I was a doctor Jack's grandson
Speaker 1: and he he really freaked out but did not give
Speaker 1: us a free ride. And wow, man, that's great, that's
Speaker 1: really cool. Freaked out because he misunderstood. He thought it
Speaker 1: was a doctor he owed money do. He's like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: tell them I'll pay him back, Like what doctor to
Speaker 1: the coach, Never mind, sir, Like fantastic. I was wearing
Speaker 1: a stethoscope around my neck and making her call me
Speaker 1: doctor Jack. There you go anyways? Uh, Daniel, Yes, you
Speaker 1: had a good sandwich this morning. You seem to be
Speaker 1: in good spirits. I am in good spirits. We'll talk
Speaker 1: more about the sandwich when we get to either under
Speaker 1: or overrated, and we'll let you know which one. My goodness,
Speaker 1: that's what we call a tease cliffhanger. If you will,
Speaker 1: all right, we're going to get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of
Speaker 1: the things we're talking about. Uh, we're gonna make it
Speaker 1: three straight with a little Trump update. But he wants
Speaker 1: he wants credit. He's saying I did the vaccine, so well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We'll talk about his homie Tim Scott,
Speaker 1: who did the rebuttal from the Republicans. H we'll talk
Speaker 1: about the Biden speech just in general, some pretty some
Speaker 1: pretty good Pool quotes, and then a lot of kind
Speaker 1: of platitudes, vagueness, but you know, shout out to those
Speaker 1: great Pool quotes. Apparently Amazon cheated and that union that
Speaker 1: union vote like Amazon crushed it. They should like unions
Speaker 1: are done in America. The people who wrote those headlines
Speaker 1: should be banished. Yeah yeah, look at that. A lot
Speaker 1: of times those headlines were on top of stories that
Speaker 1: then talked about, like just the utter fuccory that Amazon
Speaker 1: was pooling, but they were like, I guess you know,
Speaker 1: this is why it's hard to unionize in America. Moving
Speaker 1: on staged and they might have gone even over the
Speaker 1: absurdly uh you know, corporate biased line that they're not
Speaker 1: supposed to cross. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about the Summer of n Y, that sex god Mayor
Speaker 1: de Blasio has declared keeping things very sexy in the
Speaker 1: Big Apple. We're going to talk about the Roaring twenties,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. But first, DJ Daniel, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are? Um? How to use after effects? I've I've
Speaker 1: been recently trying to spruce up the old Twitch stream
Speaker 1: with stupid videos and animations and fun stuff, and I've
Speaker 1: decided to take advantage of our access to the Adobe
Speaker 1: suite and try and you know, figure out after effects.
Speaker 1: And so far, I would say, I would say so
Speaker 1: would be success so far? And what are you trying
Speaker 1: to add? Like a little animations to the your overlays?
Speaker 1: Precisely so. They call them stinger transitions, and it's when
Speaker 1: you go from one scene to another rather than its
Speaker 1: simply fading or wiping or whatever. You have a cute
Speaker 1: little animation like I have. I have a I have
Speaker 1: curtains opening and closing, and for when I played D
Speaker 1: and D, I actually have I made a little like
Speaker 1: animation thing of like a castle coming into frame of
Speaker 1: a person with a bow getting eaten by a bear,
Speaker 1: a wizard casting a spell, and then two cherubs carrying
Speaker 1: a little sign that says dungeons and dragons and then
Speaker 1: and so you're animating those like you just sort of
Speaker 1: have the vector art that you're sort of animating exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I remember when you were telling me about this,
Speaker 1: when we were comparing O B S Twitch overlays. You
Speaker 1: have all your scenes set up and I really thank
Speaker 1: you for that. And because of that, I did get
Speaker 1: the l BATO stream deck x L because of your recommendation. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you said, for what I'm trying to do, it's
Speaker 1: the regular one ain't going to be enough and absolutely not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like you, xcel. I would that sounds like a
Speaker 1: weird character which is a car salesman who sell video
Speaker 1: game ship and like like you, same fucking strategy but
Speaker 1: video game but knows nothing by about it. Can I
Speaker 1: go in a cup of coffee. What you got the
Speaker 1: RPGs going, Yeah, Yeah, thing's got good RPGs on it too. Man,
Speaker 1: you're gonna in this Xbox. Yeah, frames are gonna look good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's my latest search. I'm just enjoying on
Speaker 1: a hose. Knee is commentary along in the In the chat,
Speaker 1: she pointed out, this is an audio format, Daniel, Exactly,
Speaker 1: my handotions don't. I don't really do anything or showing
Speaker 1: pictures of our grandfather not really not really translating to
Speaker 1: the audience. But lot, now you're talking about graphics. N
Speaker 1: What if something you think is overrated? Well, oh, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you something traumatic pause. I feel like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of us. Which one something that's overrated is
Speaker 1: this Uncle Pauli's Delli bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. You're
Speaker 1: going over with it, going overrated? Unfortunately, we're going okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So here, So there's there's a couple. There's a couple
Speaker 1: of things that factor into this decision. One, the advertising
Speaker 1: is trying to sell them like a classic Bodango breakfast sandwich,
Speaker 1: and I think something that comes with the classic boeg
Speaker 1: And breakfast sandwich is is speed and affordability. Oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: This is a ten dollar breakfast sandwich here, ten dollar bacon,
Speaker 1: egg and cheese. I think it's like it's eight it's
Speaker 1: like eight fifty, but then after tax you're looking at
Speaker 1: like nine thirty, and so you're paying ten bucks to
Speaker 1: the sandwich. Get a little change back. Yeah, the way
Speaker 1: you tip ten bucks at least moreover. I called in
Speaker 1: my order. I said a bacon, egg and cheese, and
Speaker 1: the lovely person who is who is on the other
Speaker 1: line said, that's it, which I think is an appropriate
Speaker 1: thing to say, because the breakfast sandwich, you whip it
Speaker 1: up eggs, bacon on a on a kaiser, and in
Speaker 1: terms of the in terms of the definitional ingredients of
Speaker 1: things on this on this sandwich, it's eggs, bacon, American cheese,
Speaker 1: anarchis roll. In terms of ingredients, I couldn't ask for
Speaker 1: anything more. That's more or less exactly what I wanted to.
Speaker 1: But then I say, yep, that'll be, and she says, okay,
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes. Now, I imagine that like imagine that,
Speaker 1: you know, you walk up to your local bodega and
Speaker 1: you say, I'll take a BBC exactly a line out
Speaker 1: the back for a breakfast sandwich, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm saying there, well there, I mean there were people
Speaker 1: waiting outside, but partially because of the fact that it's
Speaker 1: only one person in the storey at the times Stace Socialty.
Speaker 1: Of course there was a line of there was a
Speaker 1: lot of people waiting, but alas I ordered my sandwich,
Speaker 1: I drove on over there because I figured that the
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes was generous. I figured that was like it's
Speaker 1: a BBC, they're telling you to get in there at
Speaker 1: fifty minutes. That when you show up in ten and
Speaker 1: it's ready, you're like, oh, boom, great. It took twenty
Speaker 1: It's sook twenty minutes to make the sandwich. And if
Speaker 1: I had just walked up and was sitting there on
Speaker 1: my way to work, per se and was like, I'll
Speaker 1: take a b easy, take a bacon mag and cheese,
Speaker 1: And I waited there for twenty minutes to get the sandwich.
Speaker 1: That's a little too much time in my in my
Speaker 1: personal opinion, Locking fetishized bodega Overpress that way, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's so cool, like when you live when I should
Speaker 1: live in New York, bodega. I get like, fucking I
Speaker 1: can get anything. I get a fucking chop cheese whatever,
Speaker 1: at any time of the night. And then now it's
Speaker 1: all about just like bringing that here. Because we're bringing
Speaker 1: it here, the fucking qualities sub centered, and it takes
Speaker 1: too long, and it's more expensive, and it's not convenient,
Speaker 1: like the reason that people are into it in the
Speaker 1: first place in New York. Precisely now, something I know
Speaker 1: I want to make a very careful amendment to this review.
Speaker 1: Right here, I'm reviewing specifically the bacon egg and use here,
Speaker 1: which I really like Uncle Pauli's. And in fact, there
Speaker 1: are other sandwiches which are only ten to thirteen dollars
Speaker 1: for a high quality. A bunch of really high quality
Speaker 1: deli meat sandwiches are good, and that's the sandwich that
Speaker 1: I would wait fifteen to twenty minutes for. But I
Speaker 1: just feel like when you're selling a breakfast sandwich where
Speaker 1: you're saying only till noon on the weekdays and all
Speaker 1: day on the weekends, come get your breakfast sandals here,
Speaker 1: you're setting an expectation that you're selling a breakfast the
Speaker 1: item that's like, that's what I think, that's what New
Speaker 1: York obviously can dunk on l a all day with,
Speaker 1: which is the lifestyle sort of and how that relates
Speaker 1: to food because here it's a bunch of motherfucker's that
Speaker 1: don't work or like our trust fund kids, and they're
Speaker 1: like they're like, yeah, I can wait. I'll pay ten
Speaker 1: bucks for a thing all wave forty minutes for for
Speaker 1: Breakfastly I don't have anything going on, whereas like I
Speaker 1: like the pace. I just like how when you go
Speaker 1: and have to get shipped in New York, like especially
Speaker 1: when I used to work for Conde, like in fucking
Speaker 1: down by the World Trade Center, and like it's just
Speaker 1: a lot of people working in all the lunch spots,
Speaker 1: like move at fucking lightning speed, just like that ship.
Speaker 1: Agree efficiency, but we're very very efficient. We're such fucking man.
Speaker 1: And you're incidentally walking past those bodega's. You're not like
Speaker 1: going seeking them out having to wait in the line.
Speaker 1: I'm making a reservation. Love New York. Yeah exactly. Yeah, cool,
Speaker 1: So you're overrated as a local. Los Angeles is a
Speaker 1: very very standard of taking something and then turning it
Speaker 1: into this plus stup like oh special experience when the
Speaker 1: doll is efficiency. That's why, you know, Like it's like
Speaker 1: when you see like Tucket is in New York, miss me,
Speaker 1: miss see, because they're doing the same thing. Like, oh man,
Speaker 1: no good the tacos are in l A. What if
Speaker 1: we did that over here in New York and we
Speaker 1: do all this other ship And not to say that
Speaker 1: there's good tacos there, but it's like they're they've they're
Speaker 1: doing the fund up thing. We're here. We keep it
Speaker 1: quick and grimy because that's just the that's the scene
Speaker 1: it's born out of. But when you try to get
Speaker 1: fucking city fight it, it loses all its ship. Also,
Speaker 1: just something that I don't want to skip over the
Speaker 1: use of social d as for social distancing. Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean if they had made it like cool, like sunny
Speaker 1: d the whole time, I might have actually done that ship,
Speaker 1: you know, I might have board over to breathe each
Speaker 1: other's mouth. During the whole pandemic. I was like, Jack,
Speaker 1: we literally just got locked up. What are you talking about? Party? Man?
Speaker 1: We got a raise, we still got a rave. It's
Speaker 1: social distortion canceled. I was thinking to social distortion. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're from Fullerton. I wonder what what came with social
Speaker 1: distortion in the year of our thord them out anyway,
Speaker 1: they could have done a sick p s A for
Speaker 1: social just exactly. Darn it. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Underrated? And if any of you listeners follow
Speaker 1: my Twitter, you're seeing me talking about this a lot
Speaker 1: recently is this artist named Swarty. Swarty and I texted
Speaker 1: Miles about this yesterday. Swarty is this artist who was
Speaker 1: formerly of the group The m Machine and has struck
Speaker 1: out on their own solo. I used to I mean
Speaker 1: struck out is I feel it's the wrong phrase because
Speaker 1: it means to go out in your own, but it
Speaker 1: also has the implication of like failing because you strike out,
Speaker 1: but like they have gone out on their own to
Speaker 1: the exactly home run on their own as this as
Speaker 1: this odd, Yes, in my personal opinion, as this artist
Speaker 1: extra basis, I don't know what that means, but it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, in this time of everybody doing all of
Speaker 1: these like internet based live sets like as music has
Speaker 1: tried to continue on in the world of places like
Speaker 1: Twitch and YouTube and livestream format, you see a lot
Speaker 1: of people doing performances where it's like their band or
Speaker 1: their DJ set either in front of a green screen
Speaker 1: or in their garage or something, and it's like, that's
Speaker 1: really all people have right now. It's like I don't
Speaker 1: expect everyone to be performing on a fake, huge stage
Speaker 1: or even a real stage of any kind. But when
Speaker 1: someone takes the medium of like a film performance of
Speaker 1: some kind and really goes all out with it, I
Speaker 1: just have an extra appreciate for that. Appreciation for that.
Speaker 1: And this set from this festival called Secret Sky hosted
Speaker 1: by Porter Robinson, this artist Swarty did probably my favorite
Speaker 1: performance I've seen over the last year. I could not
Speaker 1: recommend it enough. Thirty five minutes long beginning to end,
Speaker 1: so well produced, directed by this like master puppeteer, has
Speaker 1: all of this awesome music, an awesome profle. I just like,
Speaker 1: I really can't recommend it enough. So if you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go look up Swarty Secret Sky set
Speaker 1: on YouTube and you will not be disappointed. Now we're
Speaker 1: gonna need a spelling on that, because when I go Swarty,
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes up is Urban Dictionary, a
Speaker 1: game played by homosexuals in which they use their penises
Speaker 1: in the place of swords, replicating the popular sport of fencing. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is that so make it's swarty swarty, but it's
Speaker 1: s w A r D Dictionary Mitch McConnell Urban dictionary
Speaker 1: is what we have now that yeahoo, answers is gone.
Speaker 1: Uh just yeah Swarty Secret Skuy s w A R
Speaker 1: D y Secret sky set on YouTube. You just sit back,
Speaker 1: relax and enjoy thirty five minutes of really enjoyable vibes
Speaker 1: and masterful puppetry. Very cool, very cool. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: two things that have been recently or I guess Anna
Speaker 1: was saying, Chad, uh is something worth checking out that
Speaker 1: while we're talking about underage ship and I wanted to
Speaker 1: shout out shows on Amazon Prime. I'm on my second
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime streaming show that has no coverage, Like they
Speaker 1: don't even have reviews for the second and third season,
Speaker 1: Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. It's fucking good man compared
Speaker 1: like Netflix is guess all the attention because everyone has it,
Speaker 1: nobody really pays attention. But like I watched Patriot before
Speaker 1: that shows fucking good uh. And no, like you can't
Speaker 1: find very many people. There's just like a small subreddit
Speaker 1: talking about it. It took somebody to tell me to
Speaker 1: watch it, for me to watch it, that's the one
Speaker 1: where to do it is like the CIA spook. But
Speaker 1: he does like folk music. Yeah yeah, and yeah it's
Speaker 1: good like it's I don't know if it if it
Speaker 1: was on Netflix, people would be uh talking a lot
Speaker 1: about but instead it's on Earth Fucker Bezos channel press.
Speaker 1: I feel like he gets too much bad press and
Speaker 1: I just want to shout him out. Toxic. But like
Speaker 1: for these people who are making good shows that are
Speaker 1: just getting buried on his shitty platform, like getting to
Speaker 1: see Billy Bob Thornton be a dirtbag lawyer is fun. Anyways, Uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and uh let's let's make it a
Speaker 1: trafficta three straight days of Trump men cheese. But the
Speaker 1: first is as strong as you put it mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's look from first from us. Yeah, well you know,
Speaker 1: you know, like dating all that, you know, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Keep the ratings up? But yes, Mr
Speaker 1: hydroxy chloroquin has a new take because it seemed we
Speaker 1: just saw if we were talking about for three days.
Speaker 1: First it was oh, support is slipping for Trump. Then
Speaker 1: the next story is hey, he's thinking about doing rallies again,
Speaker 1: getting back out there. You know, he's kingmaking again. You know,
Speaker 1: he's still very relevant to now. Because Joey Badass had
Speaker 1: to have his first big boy congressional address, Trump now
Speaker 1: had to swoop it called fox Baby to let him
Speaker 1: know that he had some ship to ramble about. And
Speaker 1: it's all about the vaccine. Specifically, He's like, I did
Speaker 1: the vaccine. He said that sentence as a statement, I
Speaker 1: did the vaccine. It's not The vaccine is not a dance.
Speaker 1: It's not the Millie Rock. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I did You did the vaccine? What then does that mean?
Speaker 1: And then he said, if I were president the vaccine,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have had a vaccine for five years, three
Speaker 1: to five years. It would be in the minimum. He
Speaker 1: wasn't shooting with him in the lab. And then he said,
Speaker 1: I got it done in less than nine months, and
Speaker 1: that's only because of me. And look, I guess in
Speaker 1: a certain way, I'm the father of the vaccine because
Speaker 1: I was the one that pushed it. To get it
Speaker 1: done in less than nine months was a miracle. People
Speaker 1: are saying, okay, okay, sure, you're the father of the vaccine.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's like you can almost discount it without
Speaker 1: his like massive Twitter megaphone. It's just like that that
Speaker 1: seems silly, Yeah, because this would get retweeted to ship
Speaker 1: and quote tweeted and dunked on and create all this
Speaker 1: other thing. And I it's funny that I had to
Speaker 1: go looking for the people who talk about what happens
Speaker 1: on Fox and Ship to figure out what this take was.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously once that happened, this became a headline,
Speaker 1: but it does like, you know, that would have been
Speaker 1: if he were still had his Twitter, he would have
Speaker 1: tweeted that ship last night and it would have fucking that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, whatever would have happened. Media would still
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, this can you believe him? Mm hmm yeah,
Speaker 1: I like this way better. Yeah, but yeah, he did
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Go, he did did the vaccine. He did it. So,
Speaker 1: speaking of Biden's big hundred Days speech, a couple of
Speaker 1: pool quotes that I thought were pretty impressive. White supremacy
Speaker 1: is terrorism. Yes, indeed, trickle down economics doesn't work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like we've known that for a while. This
Speaker 1: one was the most surprising to me. And also the
Speaker 1: one I want to talk about because it seems to
Speaker 1: symbolize his willingness to say the right thing and then
Speaker 1: just completely not back it, but with any policy. He said,
Speaker 1: Wall Street didn't build this country. We stole it from
Speaker 1: indigenous people and had slaves do it. The middle class did,
Speaker 1: and unions built the middle class. Unions built the middle class.
Speaker 1: He said, Okay, okay, so what you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1: I like I like those sentences since he was of
Speaker 1: the white supremacy thing. Or is a police reform bill
Speaker 1: that's in Congress that is obviously going to be Wolfley
Speaker 1: inadequate to the problem, And he's bragging about how it's
Speaker 1: gonna get cross platform across the ill support, So you
Speaker 1: know that's not you know that over here? Yeah, cross
Speaker 1: platform Xbox man. You know me and me and uh
Speaker 1: show are both big gammers. We have gaming on the brain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all just been farming a ton in the division two.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, too much, too much. Uh. No solution to
Speaker 1: the problem of unions just getting railroad in this country
Speaker 1: that doesn't involve going to war with big business. And
Speaker 1: I don't see that being a path he's willing to take.
Speaker 1: But he's certainly talking like that, and I don't like,
Speaker 1: is this just the new strategy where he says the
Speaker 1: right thing loudly and then it's just I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you look. You and many other people were spell bound
Speaker 1: by the idea that he said words that were you know,
Speaker 1: prior to this would have been a hot takes that
Speaker 1: you couldn't say as a president. But because too many
Speaker 1: people in this country now, like are awful lot of
Speaker 1: these myths like that's where you gotta be, you gotta
Speaker 1: say stuff like that's true, White supremacy is terrorism. Trickle
Speaker 1: down economics doesn't work, sure, but if you're not backing
Speaker 1: that up with the real ship, then it's just you're
Speaker 1: just taking advantage of the Overton window being all fucked up.
Speaker 1: And you just came in here saying just making observations
Speaker 1: and not really offering something radical. Which is interesting because
Speaker 1: he said things like I was trying to pay attention
Speaker 1: as I watched. It was very difficult, but he said
Speaker 1: he would say things like, you know, from everybody, we
Speaker 1: got to help the poorest of the poor. But it's
Speaker 1: like you'll use these terms like poorest of the poor,
Speaker 1: but you won't actually address the concept of their being
Speaker 1: the poorest of the poor, you know, like it's a
Speaker 1: rhetorical barb to use to say, like, this is gonna
Speaker 1: help everybody, you know, even the fucking dirty people that
Speaker 1: I don't have a plan for that, but you know them,
Speaker 1: We'll get to them too at some point. And then
Speaker 1: he also said this other thing that was like he
Speaker 1: was treating rising insurance premiums like a boogeyman that and
Speaker 1: like not a societal issue that he had the power
Speaker 1: to change as president, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: that just felt weak as fuck, where he's like, and
Speaker 1: we gotta do this, you know, to protect them from
Speaker 1: rising insurance premiums. Well, then why don't you slay the
Speaker 1: rising insurance premiums beast by completely changing our health care
Speaker 1: like rather than be like, oh what, because then the
Speaker 1: other things on the other side of the door, you
Speaker 1: act like you can't do that. You act like you
Speaker 1: can't fucking like actually advocate for real substantive change. So
Speaker 1: while a lot of the other stuff is a good
Speaker 1: step forward, I think like everything and I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm part of a certain group of people that always
Speaker 1: be like this is just not going far enough. But
Speaker 1: that's what if the energy was like it was like
Speaker 1: stuff that I was like, Okay, cool. He said that
Speaker 1: he's pushing back against a lot of old school like
Speaker 1: neoliberal nonsense that Democrats used to say out loud in
Speaker 1: these kinds of events. Um, but I'm also like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some so so much still to be done. But
Speaker 1: it's a start, I guess. But that's I don't think
Speaker 1: we can keep getting fooled by by accepting it's a start. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the sort of pivot that the pundit class or
Speaker 1: whatever we'll do is to be like, but it's a start.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a start. It's a start. It's a start.
Speaker 1: But we've been it's a starting for centuries. Now have
Speaker 1: they stopped paying attention? It's a start, it's a start.
Speaker 1: Are they no longer reading? Okay, we can move on exactly,
Speaker 1: we can move on to talking about the dick measuring
Speaker 1: contest between Hey, that's big news. Um that like there's
Speaker 1: a start that I just like found that just is
Speaker 1: is perfect like democratic speech writer not saying shit, uh said.
Speaker 1: I've often said our greatest strength is the power of
Speaker 1: our example, not just the example of our power. My
Speaker 1: conversations with world leaders and I've spoken to forty of them.
Speaker 1: Now I've made it known. I've made it known that
Speaker 1: America's back. What funk are you talking about? Like? What
Speaker 1: does that even mean? Bro? Uh? And if that if
Speaker 1: hold on and then Jill, can we get a transcript
Speaker 1: of that call? Are you like there? Maybe and you
Speaker 1: can take that to the bank. But it won't be
Speaker 1: gold back just by the threat of our military see
Speaker 1: you later. I don't, okay, but you know again, it
Speaker 1: was refreshing, though, I'll say this, it was refreshing to
Speaker 1: have someone go up there and say things like I'm
Speaker 1: trying to look after trans people, I'm trying to look
Speaker 1: after X group. But I think that's the part that
Speaker 1: kills you inside. Is like a a person who who
Speaker 1: will vote for the Democratic Party, is you're like you're saying,
Speaker 1: you know, they all know how to say the right ship,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to like actually making ship messy
Speaker 1: for the people that are oppressing us, then turn the
Speaker 1: volume down. Turn the volume. This is I mean, I
Speaker 1: I equate this to the conversation about climate change right now,
Speaker 1: where people are like, hey, you can do your part,
Speaker 1: like we worked together, we're all strong. It's like you're
Speaker 1: talking about making changes on this very incremental level when
Speaker 1: the bigger picture is these ten companies that make up
Speaker 1: the fucking waste and our world. Right now, it's a
Speaker 1: we can't touch that. You can't touch that, but you
Speaker 1: can keep using you know, less straw don't give me
Speaker 1: that much money my campaign, So how about y'all start
Speaker 1: using these metal straws. He also referenced the Martin Luther
Speaker 1: King Jr. Thing about the long arc of American history
Speaker 1: bending towards justice, or I think he said the long
Speaker 1: arc of history bend towards justice, whereas I feel like
Speaker 1: it bends more towards the at least in America, the
Speaker 1: Great Man theory of history, where everything is like anti
Speaker 1: democratic and shaded by like you know, every everybody just
Speaker 1: pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: that quote is more like that bend towards justice is
Speaker 1: actually an optical illusion being caused by the curvature of
Speaker 1: the earth. There is actually no bend towards it because
Speaker 1: it's like it's so fucking slow, and I think it's
Speaker 1: just it's these a lot of these things that allow
Speaker 1: this idea that's like it's trending there removing there. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you look at other kind trees, like just wholesale being like,
Speaker 1: now that ship isn't working for our country. This is
Speaker 1: a new thing. We're doing paid paternity, maternity apparently, whatever
Speaker 1: you gotta do. And here it's like and that's the
Speaker 1: reason that I worry about like the this like incremental
Speaker 1: ship is that like you need drastic changes to show
Speaker 1: people what is in their best interest because American culture
Speaker 1: is so like just allergic to any sort of collectivism,
Speaker 1: Like they need to be shown, Okay, this is in
Speaker 1: your best interest or else. You know, I'm sure the
Speaker 1: Republicans will find some some way to weaponize it. Um
Speaker 1: that will be effective because everybody likes to believe that
Speaker 1: America is just a bunch of great men pulling themselves
Speaker 1: up by their bootstraps. And you know, you just gotta
Speaker 1: give people the opportunity. Anyways, Tim Scott, uh you know that.
Speaker 1: So that was our bottle. Tim Scott had some other ideas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they got the sole black Republican. Uh
Speaker 1: and I don't mean soul like s o U L
Speaker 1: like he got soul. I met s O l E.
Speaker 1: Like he's the only black Republican. Although I'm sure. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some weird emails with people like they get
Speaker 1: the soul black Republican up there much this whole thing
Speaker 1: is they had him go up to give the response
Speaker 1: because it's so transparent, Like it's so cringe e to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we're dealing with a lot of people
Speaker 1: are observing that we're one of them. We're just a
Speaker 1: toxic racist party. Uh so we need to deploy our
Speaker 1: token black senator to go and soothe the base, to
Speaker 1: convince them that what's happening is actually not happening and
Speaker 1: everything is all good, because he was Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was really it felt like everything that was like
Speaker 1: a huge sort of pain point for the Republicans, not
Speaker 1: not pain for them, but like something they're having to
Speaker 1: deal with optically is sort of all these voters suppression.
Speaker 1: Else for people saying this ship is racist as funk.
Speaker 1: You all are trying to disenfranchise people of color and
Speaker 1: you don't want them to vote. That's what these things
Speaker 1: are for. And then you have Tim Scott explained this
Speaker 1: to the base, say no, no, no, no, this that's
Speaker 1: not racism. That's not what any of this stuff is. See,
Speaker 1: we're just protecting the integrity of elections. It's oh, thank god,
Speaker 1: like it like all of these things were offered, I
Speaker 1: think for the base's like, yeah, that's that's right. Okay,
Speaker 1: good it wasn't because because everyone's saying, like everyone around
Speaker 1: me is telling me that I'm I have this like
Speaker 1: white fragility and my unwillingness to confront my own feelings
Speaker 1: of tenuous de facto racial and socio economic superiority are
Speaker 1: clouding my my observational awareness of this country. But then
Speaker 1: he goes on again, it's not that we don't have
Speaker 1: we don't have a racist police system. It's just that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is dividing us with this rhetoric. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of misdirectionable shit. So it was also Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: fault in where back during the Trump administration. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: so stupid. It It's like, that's the thing is all
Speaker 1: of these things are said in this weird space time
Speaker 1: continuum where Donald Trump didn't is like literally Abraham Lincoln
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden is some fucking weird Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: some weird old guy. So yeah, but all that to
Speaker 1: say is that's it's still coming from this is very
Speaker 1: unaware place. And then the other thing too was they
Speaker 1: had to have this man say he's like, as a
Speaker 1: black man, you know, I'm tell him just hey, just
Speaker 1: so y'all hear from me a black man, America is
Speaker 1: not a racist country. Come on, everybody stopping around. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Democrat version was actually the same because Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: was like, no, I don't think America's a racist country.
Speaker 1: We just need to be honest about our history. See
Speaker 1: those are words for white people. You are afraid of
Speaker 1: upsetting when you say a ship like that because you
Speaker 1: can't just say what it is. If there is an absolute,
Speaker 1: trump mendous problem with racism in this country, it is systemic.
Speaker 1: And to act like it's like having a blue house
Speaker 1: that you just bought and you're like, oh, you got
Speaker 1: a blue house. You're like, no, not see the owner,
Speaker 1: the last owners. It was historically blue, this house. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ship. Now it's blue, but you're
Speaker 1: the owner. Yeah, but it's not blue, you know, But
Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge the history. Yes it was blue,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, but so a you're gonna paint it? Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: someone to paint it blue, uh before um, and we
Speaker 1: just have to be honest about that. We don't have
Speaker 1: to say that it is currently blue, right, Like, so
Speaker 1: if you can't acknowledge, like if something isn't, then how
Speaker 1: are you going to figure out how to address it?
Speaker 1: M hm. That's what is so infuriating about sort of
Speaker 1: takes and quotes like that, because it's it completely lets
Speaker 1: people off the hook again to go off be like yeah, no,
Speaker 1: everything's okay, everything's okay. Kama said it, attempt Scott said it,
Speaker 1: it's fine, like we're just we just have some things.
Speaker 1: We gotta store it out. It's like no, yes, then
Speaker 1: they're active and they've never stopped. But yeah, it's interesting,
Speaker 1: you know. So some of the ship that Biden said
Speaker 1: was straight out of a like Bernie Sanders speech about
Speaker 1: like billionaires getting richer and everybody else getting fucked. So, well,
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see where this like rhetorical direction
Speaker 1: takes us. Yeah, I think the one benefit was he
Speaker 1: he did have some good sort of verbal like rhetorical
Speaker 1: setups that will make it. It will be interesting to
Speaker 1: see what Republicans do because he's sort of like, well,
Speaker 1: we can't do nothing looking at that side of the
Speaker 1: chamber to be like, because that's what the options are
Speaker 1: are either gonna fuck it help or y'all do nothing,
Speaker 1: And then that's what we'll keep saying. They did, they're they're, they're,
Speaker 1: they're rebuttal to trying to do good for the people
Speaker 1: was to do nothing. But you know, we'll again, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see It's it all depends on like what kind
Speaker 1: of legislation comes out, what they agree to, and then
Speaker 1: if it ends up when the whole fucking Republican water
Speaker 1: down bit and it becomes some like just you know
Speaker 1: Bill that's just like has a cool name but doesn't
Speaker 1: really do anything. Yeah. I also like how the Republicans
Speaker 1: used the pandemic as an illustration of why we should
Speaker 1: have shitty public schools. They were like, well they didn't open,
Speaker 1: uh when when we thought they should have opened. So
Speaker 1: this is a great argument for charter schools. More privatization, please,
Speaker 1: more privatization, more racists educational system. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: real quick about this Amazon union drive. Let's get it.
Speaker 1: Let's get it Amazon. Uh. The Yeah, the vote was
Speaker 1: hailed as like a complete demolition of the drive for
Speaker 1: collective action like for employees of Amazon. I heard, you know,
Speaker 1: normally progressive NPR shows or w M y C whatever
Speaker 1: on the media. Is like, take that headline, take it
Speaker 1: as a given that like socialism had been dealt to
Speaker 1: massive blow and then go on to describe just this
Speaker 1: like wildly unfair practice in the actual election and be
Speaker 1: like huh, so that's that's it, Like it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: changing the venue, having massive like pep rallies that were
Speaker 1: propaganda after which you were like walked out to the
Speaker 1: ballot box to cast your vote. Uh. And so now
Speaker 1: the details are getting even worse. Uh. The Amazon's agents
Speaker 1: of allegedly threatened employees with closure of the warehouse if
Speaker 1: they joined the union, and they emailed a warning that
Speaker 1: it would lay off of the proposed bargaining unit because
Speaker 1: of the union. So yeah, this is this is being
Speaker 1: reported in uh notorious socialist Zene Reuters. Why, um what
Speaker 1: a funk? Yeah? I mean I was, I was like,
Speaker 1: why don't we hear those stories? I feel like that's
Speaker 1: always like the threat of loss of job is like
Speaker 1: the first play you you want to make goodbye to
Speaker 1: your fucking jobs. Then so they must have done a
Speaker 1: good job. But keeping that all very low, I mean
Speaker 1: or not just like h yeah, okay, so they're like, wait,
Speaker 1: that's bad. Oh I don't know. I'm I'm so far
Speaker 1: removed from the experience of people that would work in
Speaker 1: a warehouse. I didn't know if that was a good thing,
Speaker 1: but it's it just seemed like the way that this
Speaker 1: story was covered just accepted that union votes are basically
Speaker 1: like an election held in a dictatorship where it's just
Speaker 1: like every like everything is tilted in one direction. They're
Speaker 1: in charge of, like where votes are cast. They're like
Speaker 1: physics intimidating you into voting a certain way, and people
Speaker 1: are like, big win for Amazon. Let's move on to
Speaker 1: uh Bezos and Musk's fucking dick measuring space race. Like
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know, boy, yeah, well you know
Speaker 1: it's it's like it's like, I mean, do you realize
Speaker 1: they had to put so much into this because Amazon
Speaker 1: saw that the domino effect. They're like, we we can't
Speaker 1: handle this. If this place unionizes, then many places are
Speaker 1: and then what we gotta pay people humanely. That's not
Speaker 1: our business model is to grind people into bone dust
Speaker 1: and then put a prime sticker on it and have
Speaker 1: your little pool floating at your door within twenty minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is like we we talked on yesterday's episode about
Speaker 1: how like the primary like d n a uh like
Speaker 1: central mission of Facebook is like expanding the user base
Speaker 1: then getting those users to spend more and more time,
Speaker 1: and like anything that is counter to that is just
Speaker 1: going to inevitably fail until like something until that company
Speaker 1: has fundamentally changed, Like at a cellular level, Amazon's like
Speaker 1: Big Innovation seems to be treating their employees like ship
Speaker 1: and that's going to uh yeah, just like squeezing every
Speaker 1: last drop out of like that. But that seems to
Speaker 1: be the secret sauce. Like with all these revelations of
Speaker 1: what's happening now, that means that the people at the
Speaker 1: what does a retail, wholesale, wholesale and department store union
Speaker 1: can appeal the results and have possibly have them overturned. Right,
Speaker 1: That's what the this article is talking about. That like
Speaker 1: there is a board that has overturned several union elections
Speaker 1: over the years. In two thousand and sixteen, they overturned
Speaker 1: an election and uh, the United steel Workers union lost
Speaker 1: by a decisive vote, and you know, us business lobbies
Speaker 1: were post they also like helped Trump overturn some you know,
Speaker 1: pro labor practices. So it's not it's not like a
Speaker 1: clear cut thing where these are like they are, i
Speaker 1: think considered to be more down the middle. So it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. Yeah, well, because I can putting
Speaker 1: someone off. He installed a ship head at the n
Speaker 1: l RB during his time there, so wacky, wacky time.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of hoping that, you know, as
Speaker 1: the the push for voting rights happens in political races
Speaker 1: across the country, and like we're seeing horrible things happen
Speaker 1: in Texas and George and all these other places where
Speaker 1: these horrible you know, voting laws are getting passed. Like
Speaker 1: I would hope that that extends into workers voting rights
Speaker 1: because I know it's it's not a political election, and
Speaker 1: I know these kinds of like the votes are just
Speaker 1: different or the way they can be conducted, these these
Speaker 1: kinds of votes are just different. But it's like it
Speaker 1: should not. You should not be able to intimidate your employees.
Speaker 1: You should not be able to do all this this.
Speaker 1: I mean, Okay, let me tell you something, Daniel. This
Speaker 1: is called America, Okay, And I didn't start a fucking
Speaker 1: business with when my grandpa died and gave me his
Speaker 1: money to fucking pay people fucking fairly so I can
Speaker 1: have a smaller seed boat. That's correct, No, but yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And that's what I think it's so fucked up is
Speaker 1: that we are not enough American people feel that like
Speaker 1: these are rights rather than like you fuck a mask,
Speaker 1: where's my gun? Like it should be you know, we
Speaker 1: shouldn't allow your fucking employer to fuck you. How about that?
Speaker 1: How about that as a right? How about you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to go at anything where you have to
Speaker 1: advocate for yourself and you got goons breathing down your
Speaker 1: neck threatening your livelihood. Like it's like, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's just I think there's just a bit of
Speaker 1: um ampathy that we have in terms of how we
Speaker 1: view our relationships to corporations, because that's just it's always
Speaker 1: felt like this sort of thing like what the fund
Speaker 1: can we do? But it's things like this that companies
Speaker 1: like Amazon fight tooth and nail against because that would
Speaker 1: begin to upset the balance of power, like, well, fuck,
Speaker 1: I gotta do this union like collectively trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what's best for them around the means of being
Speaker 1: threatening to close the warehouse, and that just used to
Speaker 1: be how I kept the profits up. Hmm. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: take one more break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back and this might be a might be a
Speaker 1: big summer for New Yorkers. Yeah. Yeah. Mayor to Blasio
Speaker 1: has told the masses that the success of the vaccination
Speaker 1: program has allowed for just straight up Central Park. Fuck.
Speaker 1: I think back baby, exact words. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: what New Yorker has heard. I think, like in the
Speaker 1: New York Times, like they have that like offshoot grub
Speaker 1: Street website. They keep calling it the summer of hedonism
Speaker 1: is what they They talk about the impending reopening of
Speaker 1: New York being um. But yeah, I mean the plan
Speaker 1: is what fucking July one every like yo, Jim's stadium, salons,
Speaker 1: museums a hundred percent capacity. And this is what he said,
Speaker 1: this is going to be the summer of New York City.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see amazing activities. And he's hoping people will
Speaker 1: quote funk to New York City because they want to
Speaker 1: live again. M M. Amazing activities. Sounds like a Scout
Speaker 1: leader more than somebody who's like throwing out that sounds
Speaker 1: like that sounds like someone like who like the religious
Speaker 1: kid is school's birthday and you're like we're doing laser
Speaker 1: tag or some ship and they're like no, but they're
Speaker 1: amazing activities. I'm like, funk out of here, Tim. We
Speaker 1: made our own doubledare of course, where we dare you
Speaker 1: to follow Christ's teaching. But yeah, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like when I just look at
Speaker 1: even Twitter from New Yorkers or other places like in
Speaker 1: the UK too, where they have like dates where they're
Speaker 1: all looking forward to being like it's happening. The energy
Speaker 1: is intense, and I don't know, you know, they call
Speaker 1: it the Summer of Hedonism, the Summer of George, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it. But I'm curious how wild
Speaker 1: shit is actually gonna get, Like if people truly are
Speaker 1: just like you know, horses at the fucking gates just
Speaker 1: being like I need this motherfucker to open because I'm
Speaker 1: fucking gone that second I hear that bell, or if
Speaker 1: it's kind of like yeah, you know, we did this,
Speaker 1: we had a little fun over there, or you know,
Speaker 1: or like you know, the fucking Starbucks is going to
Speaker 1: be the new turn up spot. I'm about your neighborhood
Speaker 1: it already, baby, I mean that would be sick. I would,
Speaker 1: you know, Daniel, what we should do is go around
Speaker 1: the city with like massive p A system and is
Speaker 1: like and just blow parks out with likens. Yeah, turn
Speaker 1: them out. I feel like I would. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a new thing I would probably be inclined to do.
Speaker 1: But like, yoh, he's like random turn ups happen at
Speaker 1: these parks? Yeah, was that anything that used to happen?
Speaker 1: Like I remember seeing it in Back to the Future
Speaker 1: with the mayor the mayoral election, where they're like driving
Speaker 1: around with a massive speaker on top of the car.
Speaker 1: Like old school? Yeah, is that Yeah? Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's old school, but but you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like it would be a lot of these days you
Speaker 1: could do it. I mean it's yeah, it's so certainly illegal,
Speaker 1: but like it would be a lot easier to carry
Speaker 1: enough power to make like a very small turn up
Speaker 1: happen in a much more confined space rather than that
Speaker 1: would like spend literally an hour setting up your two
Speaker 1: huge p A s, in which case the police just
Speaker 1: walk up and they're like, hey, no, yeah, and I'll
Speaker 1: be like, you're on a camera, officer, you better think
Speaker 1: about the optics of this clip. And they're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: is that Playboy already? H You're like, hey, turn up
Speaker 1: copaganda baby, hell yeah? Oh shit, is this trippy Red?
Speaker 1: Hey man, I missed the rage just like trippy man.
Speaker 1: So beyond the summer, there are a lot of news
Speaker 1: outlets that have been speculating, uh that, with rising vaccinations
Speaker 1: some parts of the country returning to a sense of normalcy,
Speaker 1: we might see another Roaring twenties, you know, the because
Speaker 1: I think everybody's memory of the twenties, the collective way
Speaker 1: we've remembered the twenties, because like I said, we have
Speaker 1: just like a Great Man shaped version of the past,
Speaker 1: and we're just like you just focus on the rich
Speaker 1: people and uh that that's what was going on. So,
Speaker 1: you know, people see the twenties as the time of
Speaker 1: the economic and social boom that happened to give us
Speaker 1: the Great Gatsby. And they're saying this because there was
Speaker 1: a pandemic nineteen eighteen flew that was the biggest kind
Speaker 1: of modern pandemic. There was also World War One, so
Speaker 1: everyone from the New Yorker, what what the new Roaring
Speaker 1: twenties will be? Like Bloomberg, the nineteen twenties roared after
Speaker 1: a pandemic, and the twenties will try. Uh, And somebody
Speaker 1: else was like, are you ready for the Roaring twenties?
Speaker 1: But so our writer and jam was like pointing out
Speaker 1: that the twenties were really bad. Uh, and for a
Speaker 1: lot of the reasons that, like the past five years
Speaker 1: have been really terrible, Like the twenties were the time
Speaker 1: of the resurgence of the KKK in America and just
Speaker 1: massive inequality that led to the Great Depression. Okay, but
Speaker 1: what about it? What if we what if we ignore
Speaker 1: that part? What about like the champagne glasses and like
Speaker 1: pyramids of champagne glasses that are being poured and we're
Speaker 1: all wearing tuxedos. It's is that is that not resonator,
Speaker 1: It's just it's like we already have massive inequality and
Speaker 1: so to like set the goal, like set our you know,
Speaker 1: destination on now, like I feel like we already had
Speaker 1: this in the odds, Like the Odds were sort of
Speaker 1: the the Roaring Twenties of the modern time, because you know,
Speaker 1: Americans were off in foreign wars killing millions of you know, Iraqis,
Speaker 1: and the top songs at home were like the Black
Speaker 1: Eyed Peas telling people to like party and literally get retarded. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we're like damn, okay, uh, let's baby, we don't
Speaker 1: give a about it. And that wasn't the stand they
Speaker 1: took is we should be able to say this about
Speaker 1: how hard we're party. And then also, I think more importantly,
Speaker 1: like the nineteen twenties, the odds led up to a
Speaker 1: generations defining financial collapse that like we're in the midst
Speaker 1: of so I feel like that's I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: weird to be like we've got some roaring twenties coming
Speaker 1: when you know, we we've already had the depression, We've
Speaker 1: already had the rye, like the kind of startling re
Speaker 1: emergence of like mainstream white supremacy like in the streets.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean and and and it's not that
Speaker 1: it was coming off the hills like you know, fucking
Speaker 1: forty million people dying from World War One either, that
Speaker 1: was that was another thing in people's minds, like in
Speaker 1: the lead up to the twenties at all, like ship right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean part of that like excess was informed by
Speaker 1: uh survivors guilt from the pandemic. Historians like kind of
Speaker 1: with the perspective you get with hundred years or like,
Speaker 1: they were probably going off because like that pandemic killed
Speaker 1: so many people, and it killed like young adults that
Speaker 1: wash it targeted. Basically, COVID has killed two point seven
Speaker 1: million people worldwide and the nineteen flew killed fifty to
Speaker 1: a hundred million, and they were all like in there,
Speaker 1: they were mainly concentrated, and they're like twenties and thirties,
Speaker 1: So like, if half the people around you are just dying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that that leads to a very strange you know,
Speaker 1: yeah XO exotour life hits different When I love that song,
Speaker 1: I don't really right, but yeah, I mean you should.
Speaker 1: I don't know what That's why I'm curious to see
Speaker 1: how it compares, because I don't know if we're dealing
Speaker 1: with the same energy, and I don't know if we're
Speaker 1: in the same points of like the have been flow
Speaker 1: of inequality and boom bus cycles that it's actually gonna
Speaker 1: match up like that. But I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just a way to
Speaker 1: like kind of in our minds, give ourselves something to
Speaker 1: look it's like, yeah, it's so bad, but then we'll
Speaker 1: just completely funk off for the next ten years and
Speaker 1: pretend that, you know, shit is I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I don't know if it will ever quite mirror
Speaker 1: the same thing, because we're still in a period that
Speaker 1: you you could argue that this is the twenties, the
Speaker 1: ots or the twenties, that there are so many times
Speaker 1: when inequalities rising, fascisms creeping, and then there's a whole
Speaker 1: group of people who are like, yeah, I mean, in
Speaker 1: addition to like some of the big like you know,
Speaker 1: resurgence of the KKK, the massacre against black citizens and Tulsa,
Speaker 1: and there were multiple in America, there were also like
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that we fetishize about the
Speaker 1: twenties were actually super racists, like the jazzy speakeasies were
Speaker 1: only accessible to a small orson of wealthy, urban and
Speaker 1: mostly white Americans, and the whole Uh Temperance movement and
Speaker 1: prohibition were driven by like racism and like fear of
Speaker 1: people of color like drinking basically, and then they you know,
Speaker 1: it didn't apply like like many laws in American history
Speaker 1: like basically didn't apply to rich white people and it
Speaker 1: was just an excuse for the police to round up
Speaker 1: whoever the funk they wanted to round up, which, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think it's the twenties now, right, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I feel like we just lived
Speaker 1: through this ship. Like I don't. I don't, because it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a resurgence of you know, white supremacy and nativism,
Speaker 1: like in a very like a non nuanced way, um,
Speaker 1: and like just there's like labor movements trying to fight
Speaker 1: against the corporations and things like that. It's or you
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's like just never really fucking
Speaker 1: figured it out from the twenties, you know, and it
Speaker 1: never ended really, and it's just like this idea that
Speaker 1: we just sort of pivoted to World War two and
Speaker 1: like the depression and be like yeah, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: the hot thing now. World War two and the depression. Right,
Speaker 1: the eighties could also be seen very similar to the twenties,
Speaker 1: and that it was like, you know, they just focused
Speaker 1: on the rich people and like Reagan and country clubs,
Speaker 1: and meanwhile he was just letting aids ravage the country
Speaker 1: and you know, ignoring poor people and destroying unions and
Speaker 1: ship which was a big part of the twenties. Also
Speaker 1: is that we're just described all right, let's do the
Speaker 1: nineties next, so like it's just really it's like it's
Speaker 1: almost weird, like where we started to be like we
Speaker 1: don't want to know the twenties and we're like ship
Speaker 1: has not changed since the fucking twenties, Like what are
Speaker 1: we doing? And I think that's like the deception that
Speaker 1: we have of history too, is like that we can
Speaker 1: sort of act like they're these sort of points to
Speaker 1: these periods because the chapter is different or the decade
Speaker 1: numerically changes, wherein we have not addressed any of the ills,
Speaker 1: so they just sort of take different shapes and metastasize,
Speaker 1: and you know, look at us today. Yeah, I mean lesson. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The war on drugs was not just the thing relegated
Speaker 1: to the eighties or nineties, but it was exactly what
Speaker 1: I was just describing with prohibition. It was like an
Speaker 1: opportunity for law enforcement to basically weaponized racism and making
Speaker 1: part of they're like, oh, what do what do Mexican
Speaker 1: immigrants like, this's like smoking weed? Okay, well that's a
Speaker 1: that's illegal now, right, what else? And then we'll and
Speaker 1: then we'll use that, we'll create all this like this
Speaker 1: threat of out of control black and brown men who
Speaker 1: are high to then you know, create more even stringent laws.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, it was just more about being like, okay,
Speaker 1: what do they like? Okay, let's make that illegal. The
Speaker 1: government's Prohibition Bureau literally deputized clan members, uh, which sounds
Speaker 1: shocking until you look at the number of people who
Speaker 1: were law enforcement officials who were raiding the capital and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, I'm good, I got my badge under
Speaker 1: the it's a good. Yeah I am. I am actually
Speaker 1: trying the deputies ship all right, well, stop stop saying,
Speaker 1: stop saying hopefully, like are we headed for another we're
Speaker 1: in twenties, because how about let's look at inequal If
Speaker 1: we're observing inequality right now, we need to address it
Speaker 1: and not trying and synthesize it through like fucking weird
Speaker 1: movie tropes and shipped from culture to be like is
Speaker 1: that what this is? It's like, no, we haven't fucked.
Speaker 1: We haven't dealt with our rampant racism. We haven't dealt
Speaker 1: with our rampant inequality, and it just keeps taking on
Speaker 1: new forms and we just give it new labels. When
Speaker 1: it's all this it's just the same thing over and over. Yeah,
