Speaker 1: we got it. We got a little heat wave of coming,
Speaker 1: didn't we do? Do we? It's weird tomorrow he supposed
Speaker 1: hit the high eighties nineties, Thursdays, today, the reality of
Speaker 1: the show today and tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1: to put, you know, exposed to the sun's rays. Miles
Speaker 1: her Letterman made his big break as a weatherman. As
Speaker 1: a weatherman. Yeah, was Will Ferrell also weatherman. I mean
Speaker 1: it's my uncle was a weatherman at Omaha, Nebraska. He
Speaker 1: was like the only black man to be the weatherman ever,
Speaker 1: being Omaha, he said. The only other black dude he
Speaker 1: knew was the janitor at the at the TV station. Wow,
Speaker 1: but everyone everyone starts off with weather. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, Well, Kate,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: few of the things we're talking about today. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the Republicans having a tough time with their
Speaker 1: vaccine pr Uh. We'll talk about Trump gearing up to
Speaker 1: do rallies again. We we've long suspected that Trump is
Speaker 1: like Gang and listens to the show and he heard
Speaker 1: yesterday's episode where we were saying, is he slipping a
Speaker 1: little bit? Is he out of side, out of mind?
Speaker 1: No longer relevant? And uh he he has responded. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the zoom effect, the effect of seeing
Speaker 1: our faces on zoom constantly. H We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: speaking of vaccine PR. The number one spokesperson for vaccines,
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, and I just wanted to there's this new
Speaker 1: report on Facebook from the m I T. Technology Review
Speaker 1: and like just the impossibility of getting them to do
Speaker 1: the right thing, And I think those stories kind of
Speaker 1: tie in together because Spotify is like backing Joe Rogan
Speaker 1: on the basis that he is extremely profitable. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that all that plenty more. But first, Kate,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I wanted to be like completely transparent and it's
Speaker 1: not that exciting, but I just this morning I googled Capricorn, okay,
Speaker 1: And something about me is that I love astrology a lot,
Speaker 1: but I only know like my own sign, and I
Speaker 1: don't really know about other signs. I'm a cancer. I
Speaker 1: can tell you a lot about cancers, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I know a lot about my own sign, but
Speaker 1: I don't know lot of like other signs. And I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get to know my full chart a little
Speaker 1: bit better. So I make cancer sun, I make Capricorn moon.
Speaker 1: And I saw a meme about Capricorn's and I was
Speaker 1: like trying to relate to the meme, but I forgot,
Speaker 1: like what I forgot, Like you know what capricorns are
Speaker 1: all about. I didn't know if it was like a
Speaker 1: fire sign or a water sign or an air sign.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to google Capricorn, and I think
Speaker 1: I just like I didn't. I ended up not actually
Speaker 1: learning anything because I must have gotten distracted. But I
Speaker 1: did google Capricorn this morning. You can see almost almost
Speaker 1: forgot about Capricorn culture. Who's what you're saying, I'm like
Speaker 1: trying to get more involved in Capricorn culture. That's sort
Speaker 1: of like on my vision board. Okay, okay, yeah, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm what is it? What are the broad strokes for
Speaker 1: a Capricorn? I think it's like, okay, I'm not an expert.
Speaker 1: Clearly I hadn't including the people that say they are.
Speaker 1: It's well, yeah, it's okay, like it's I know it's
Speaker 1: all like fake, but I know that like fake things
Speaker 1: are real. You know, I've not We have this conversation
Speaker 1: all the time, like we get it's not science with
Speaker 1: some of us vibe, but I vibe on it. Okay, Capricorn,
Speaker 1: I think is like you're very organized and you're like
Speaker 1: getting your ship together and you're like doing homework, and
Speaker 1: is that like the beginning of the year. Is that
Speaker 1: a January thing? I think I don't know because it's
Speaker 1: not my sun sign here, it's not her son's signed.
Speaker 1: I don't know what what's that mean? That's you said
Speaker 1: that I thought of my mom for being organized and
Speaker 1: she's a Capricorn. Wow, okay, so I think like your
Speaker 1: sun sign is like who you really are, and you're
Speaker 1: like moon sign is like the face that you show
Speaker 1: the world or something. Yeah, okay, so I think. So
Speaker 1: I'm a Capricorn moon so people must really think I'm
Speaker 1: like super on it. Yeah super Oh she don't even
Speaker 1: think about that. Yeah, I'm just just trying to get
Speaker 1: by what I show as a non like zodiac enthusiast.
Speaker 1: I've always associated Capricorn with like some sort of garnish,
Speaker 1: I think because I'm combining corn of capers and corn. Yeahad,
Speaker 1: so that's where I'm coming from. So, uh, lest you
Speaker 1: think you're not an expert, I will upstage your lack
Speaker 1: of expertise. I would eat I'd eat capers and corn. Yeah, capercorns,
Speaker 1: apricot corn, hybrid Capricorn. Yeah it could be capri yeah,
Speaker 1: caper apricot corn hi tribe red. Yeah that would taste
Speaker 1: weird as ship, yeah that would you know what? But
Speaker 1: with these are the look we just do it at home.
Speaker 1: Get yourself some frozen corn. Some capers and apricots used
Speaker 1: to blend that up and let us know how that tastes.
Speaker 1: You just fucked up capricorns for me, because apricot is
Speaker 1: the one flavor, you know how. They're the people who
Speaker 1: are like, I hate cilantro. It tastes like shimp poo
Speaker 1: to me. That's how. That's how I am with apricot.
Speaker 1: I I do not. I've never once enjoyed an apricot flavor. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if they're so, I've had a really ripe apricot
Speaker 1: that I've I've vibed with. Yeah, I probably didn't like it.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Well, this is why we're
Speaker 1: probably not going to be recording in physical proximity to
Speaker 1: each other over again, finding stuff like this out about
Speaker 1: each other. Damn, Myles just made the throat slashing gesture
Speaker 1: at me. I did the Eastern promises one two fingers,
Speaker 1: the two fingers to either side. I love apricots. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank god. Kay, you want to do the daily podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm free every day. Wait, but you got your morning
Speaker 1: You still do your morning show? I do? I do?
Speaker 1: We do? Yeah, me and my husband Jack, we do
Speaker 1: a morning show. On Twitch every weekday. Your husband Jack
Speaker 1: holding what miles, We've got something to tell you. That's
Speaker 1: Jack Am right, Yeah, Jacket and Classic Classic podcast, live streaming, Universe,
Speaker 1: bround Breaking. People should check it out. What is uh?
Speaker 1: What's something? I just check out all Jack culture. So
Speaker 1: that's that's why I'm up on it. His radios all
Speaker 1: the stations are dialed to JACKFLA. Yeah with this stupid
Speaker 1: ass interstitials. And if people don't know Jack FM and
Speaker 1: l A the interstitial like Jack FM, your mom's gonna
Speaker 1: want you to turn this up. It's like, yeah, now Jack,
Speaker 1: I like those stings are my ring tones. Anytime my
Speaker 1: phone rings, it's a different one of those. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Kate? Okay? The number four? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is kind of a hot take, but it ties
Speaker 1: into what I think is underrated, which is the number
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Yeah. I think we talked about four a lot. Listen.
Speaker 1: I love weed. I smoke it pretty much every day
Speaker 1: in some form. But you know, I think in terms
Speaker 1: of like funny numbers and like good numbers, I think
Speaker 1: sixty nine is way better, way better. No one can
Speaker 1: get a straight story on what it even means, Like
Speaker 1: is it like the police code for weed, like or
Speaker 1: is it something old friends from the Northwest, that group
Speaker 1: of friends like who cares? Like no one knows that.
Speaker 1: It's not a clear backstory. It's like confusing. It's I'm like,
Speaker 1: sixty nine is so you get exactly what you're looking at.
Speaker 1: Sixty nine is funny. Like it's one of those things
Speaker 1: where like I'll be on Reddit and up vote. I'll
Speaker 1: be I'll see something at sixty eight and I'll be like, ah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna get that to sixty nine, and then
Speaker 1: you just kind of see you like and then you
Speaker 1: keep moving like there's a little more mischief involved with
Speaker 1: sixty nine four twenty. This has coming from somebody who
Speaker 1: again you heard my A K A. I love the eat.
Speaker 1: I have a podcast called four Day Fiance. But it's
Speaker 1: not because I think this ship is like the funniest thing,
Speaker 1: just like shorthand for weed. But whenever, oh, I'm actually
Speaker 1: getting it lasered off. It's a it's a whole it's
Speaker 1: a whole story. It's becoming like beer a clock right,
Speaker 1: like it's wasn't it I think I was saying Joe
Speaker 1: Kim Booster, I think posted something about how four twenties,
Speaker 1: especially like the holiday because we just had the quote
Speaker 1: unquote holiday or whatever. The day for twenty feels like
Speaker 1: very specifically millennial and will probably end with us because
Speaker 1: like now that we're in a world where there's recreational
Speaker 1: legal weed, it's not as counter culture. And I even
Speaker 1: find myself like having to I did so much work
Speaker 1: on fo it. I've never worked harder on four twenty
Speaker 1: in my life. This last year. Oh yeah, I'm like
Speaker 1: I was on like nine live streams because I've distilled
Speaker 1: my whole identity to weed and like you gotta come
Speaker 1: here smoke this and talk about this. But like you
Speaker 1: were doing a twenty four hour phone marathon like of
Speaker 1: weed smoking. It was just too much. But I think
Speaker 1: it does feel like now that it's gone, like it's
Speaker 1: not like, yo, we could get we can get kicked
Speaker 1: out fucking everywhere for this ship, not just like can
Speaker 1: you smoke weed over there? It's it's yeah. I think
Speaker 1: there was a time when four twenty had a lot
Speaker 1: of magic to it, especially like when we were younger.
Speaker 1: You know. I was like when I found out about
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Like that's a funny number.
Speaker 1: Let's say it all the time. Let's put it in
Speaker 1: our aim screen names, you know. Like, but now now
Speaker 1: as I'm mature and weed is legally yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: lost some of the magic. And I'm way more into
Speaker 1: sixty nine these days. And yeah, funnier six six six?
Speaker 1: Where would you put that on the Oh wow, six
Speaker 1: six six might be number two behind sixty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so is great sixty six point six, like
Speaker 1: any variation of six. Yeah, now that I think about
Speaker 1: what your take is, it's really about the fence that
Speaker 1: it causes because we live in a very puritanical society.
Speaker 1: The idea of sixty nine can you can can cause
Speaker 1: an older person to be six six six? We got
Speaker 1: the whole satanic panic. But again, Weed, it's just not
Speaker 1: it's lost. Weeds lost that sort of ability to to
Speaker 1: access people's pearl clutching reflex. Yeah, the edge isn't there,
Speaker 1: the edges They're sorry, Grandma, sixty nine is happening, whether
Speaker 1: you like it or not. So is do people like
Speaker 1: make a big deal of June nine, Like does that
Speaker 1: come into play? That's why I wanted to bring this
Speaker 1: up because I wanted to like soft pitch this to
Speaker 1: you guys, like, what if we did make June nine
Speaker 1: like sixty nine day and we like kind of like
Speaker 1: started It could start right here on this podcast episode.
Speaker 1: Maybe a campaign to get everyone sixty nine ng on
Speaker 1: sixty nine, or just celebrating sixty nine culture, which is
Speaker 1: you know, mutually beneficial joy. Yeah, and you know, come,
Speaker 1: it's all about it's all about dual com dual power um.
Speaker 1: And now you know, funk D day? What the who
Speaker 1: gives this ship? About June six? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: June ninth? Oh, my bad, June ninth. I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: June six. June wait six nine, See, I'm so bad
Speaker 1: with numbers. June ninth, what happened? Anything good? I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure we're not I don't want to
Speaker 1: step on another of four eleven BC and his own
Speaker 1: life in eight six the Athenian coup um isn't four
Speaker 1: twenty also like Hitler's birthday? Yeah? Yeah, so that's I
Speaker 1: guess we need something to overshadow that a little bit.
Speaker 1: But the nazis already funk with four. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: like end four twenty the holiday. I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 1: let's build up June. Yeah, I'm kind of I'm kind
Speaker 1: of four ending four twenty as a it's because it's
Speaker 1: not a it's not really a holiday, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It's and plus I'm at this point most
Speaker 1: of us who are like used to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're smoking weed to get by, so it's not the same.
Speaker 1: We need it now. I think is great and we
Speaker 1: should continue to take it back from the Nazis. But
Speaker 1: I do like this idea of number ranks. Yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: plummeting in terms of value. Yes, may fourth being bringing
Speaker 1: up the rear. I'm assuming may the fourth be with you?
Speaker 1: With you? Yeah, that that can that's fine, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: can can somewhere. I mean, I don't celebrate that one
Speaker 1: because I'm like not a Star Wars fan, but I
Speaker 1: celebrate that one. By sixty nine. That's you can celebrate
Speaker 1: any holiday by sixty nine. That's the beauty of sixty nine.
Speaker 1: But I think it needs its own day, you know,
Speaker 1: like it needs six. I mean, it's so it's right
Speaker 1: there in the in the numbers six nine, and yeah,
Speaker 1: June nine is is lacking. Yeah, in terms of like
Speaker 1: what actually you know, like there's not something huge happening.
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of historical things happening around that day,
Speaker 1: but nothing where you're like all right, six nine, rights,
Speaker 1: like we need a we need a holiday at that time,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, like a month before like fourth of July ish,
Speaker 1: Like let's like have a holiday on June nine. It's
Speaker 1: a good time for it. Yeah, and it is like
Speaker 1: kind of the beginning of horny season, the beginning yeah,
Speaker 1: Horney summer, horny summer vibes, Like, let's have a horny
Speaker 1: we have no horny holidays, Like I guess Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: is like the only horny holiday we have, and that
Speaker 1: I don't consider it. And that's laborious. It's like that's
Speaker 1: like that's like if that's the horny is we have,
Speaker 1: like we can do better. It's you know what, this
Speaker 1: is perfect because it's the solstice this year's June, and
Speaker 1: you need like eleven days just to warm your body
Speaker 1: up for official horny season. So six nine, you six nine,
Speaker 1: get ready for June. Longest day, Yeah, I mean the
Speaker 1: longest day of sixty nine. Yeah, let's have some babies
Speaker 1: born nine months. Actually I guess not, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't have a baby from six A. That's why
Speaker 1: it's also it's great about it. Why do you want
Speaker 1: to have one of those let's let's keep it mouth
Speaker 1: baby only. Yeah, that's like a ya who answers question
Speaker 1: pregnant from sixty nine? Yes? What is uh? I mean?
Speaker 1: I don't think I have to ask what's something that's underrated?
Speaker 1: I think we just are that. I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: this a lot, Like I'm I'm very passionate about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been on my mind. Yeah, they make it look
Speaker 1: as not they are numbers that make you laugh, but
Speaker 1: in terms of raw power, like you could power a
Speaker 1: car off of sixty nine six, it transcends even being
Speaker 1: a number, like it is a picture, it's a painting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think of like the first time my friend Tie,
Speaker 1: he was like a few years older than me, he
Speaker 1: told me, like, you know what, like how you learn
Speaker 1: about when you're a kid. And I was like, what
Speaker 1: the What's that? He goes so he's like he's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so here's the six and the nine and I was
Speaker 1: like all right, and then he like but then he
Speaker 1: took them and he like tried to manipulate them so
Speaker 1: that the Tale of the six, and then they went
Speaker 1: into each other's like and then that's like when you
Speaker 1: both do that, I'm like, okay, but what is what
Speaker 1: is head? Right? This is very early on in my life.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I got that part um, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what these other things like blows on it?
Speaker 1: What a blow job? Like? So they're like, you so crazy.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy when you're like a kid and you
Speaker 1: find out what blow jobs are. I remember being just
Speaker 1: like that's not real, Like that's a joke, Like that's stupid,
Speaker 1: that's where the pep goes. Yeah, I was like so
Speaker 1: blown away, and you know it's it's it's forever funny.
Speaker 1: It's ever funny. It is. It's a funny like catching
Speaker 1: your parents having sex. Gross catching your parents sixty nine,
Speaker 1: there's like that's funny. You gotta just so you would wait,
Speaker 1: would you rather catch your parents sixty nine or having sex?
Speaker 1: I mean rather want them under the covers. But you
Speaker 1: gotta see, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta fucking take
Speaker 1: this in with your eyes, which what will cause less trauma?
Speaker 1: Sixty nine would cause less trauma because you have you
Speaker 1: have a laugh about it. You have you okay, just
Speaker 1: like what are they because someone who have to say
Speaker 1: something and they're gonna have genitals in their mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like if the if the if the birds and the
Speaker 1: bees talk was just about sixty nine not about anything else,
Speaker 1: Like actually, I'd be like way less pressure. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be a great psychological experiment like to do where
Speaker 1: somebody just explains that as the only sex act and
Speaker 1: see like how the person grows up. You know, like
Speaker 1: they're those psychologists who like raise their kids not knowing
Speaker 1: like never describing a color or something like that one
Speaker 1: pain or using the word pain and using things like sensations.
Speaker 1: The thing people try to do with language is full
Speaker 1: cling on to see how that turned out. I mean
Speaker 1: that would I think that would create better outcomes, equitable
Speaker 1: outcomes for people to know that it's about, you know,
Speaker 1: mutual satisfaction. Right. You think by saying that, you're already
Speaker 1: establishing the relationship of this synergistic sex act where one
Speaker 1: in the two people have to to to supply each
Speaker 1: other with the pleasure rather than like fucking, because then
Speaker 1: you go down something just searching weird porno and you'd
Speaker 1: be like just just pump away and that's it exactly.
Speaker 1: Because literature and it transcends like sexuality, gender like anyone
Speaker 1: can sixty nine anyone like you don't have to presume
Speaker 1: your kids are going to be like doing you know,
Speaker 1: straight straight sex. It keeps it vague, keep your general descriptions. Yo,
Speaker 1: your mouth on what they got, their mouth on what
Speaker 1: you got. Yeah, that's it. That's all you needed to
Speaker 1: pop in, baby. And they're like Mr. Graid that, we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of complaints, Uh for whatever you're teaching
Speaker 1: when you're substituting in the math for you, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: six plus nine equals uh satisfied partner. Okay, Okay, what
Speaker 1: are we learning about? Are you're only doing division yet? Okay,
Speaker 1: I forgot. I'm sorry, kids. I was just thinking. The
Speaker 1: two things we've projected is a world where the Titanic
Speaker 1: doesn't sink and a world where sixty nine is the
Speaker 1: basis for explaining all sex to let's do it better world.
Speaker 1: All right, I think we've given everyone a lot to
Speaker 1: think about. Let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and let's talk about just
Speaker 1: vaccines in general, uh, and how the Republicans are handling
Speaker 1: the whole situation on like you know what the fact
Speaker 1: that there is clear science saying this is good for
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, what, so where are we at? Imagine
Speaker 1: telling your child sexiest missionary style their whole lives and
Speaker 1: then you introduce something called I talked about I thought
Speaker 1: it was it was just straight boring mission here? What
Speaker 1: is this sixty? I don't know. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: This is kind of Republicans are at with screaming at
Speaker 1: their base about how no one knows what's going on
Speaker 1: with COVID, not even science, not even the doctors, not
Speaker 1: even the experts, So why are they making us do
Speaker 1: this stuff they don't even know? If you remember, that
Speaker 1: has been like the rhetorical thrust of their entire fucking
Speaker 1: everything they've been saying this last year. Nobody knows who
Speaker 1: gives it, nobody knows anything. So there's a real problem
Speaker 1: now because on top of that, they also had you know,
Speaker 1: Trump who almost died from the fucking virus and then
Speaker 1: refused to let people see that he got vaccinated, even
Speaker 1: though he told people he did. He's like, I don't
Speaker 1: want them to see my up cover of night and
Speaker 1: you put an up jewelish sheet over the my arm
Speaker 1: when the injection is giving sort of feels like what
Speaker 1: his vibes may have been. But to see that just
Speaker 1: to him and like a sleeveless going in for the
Speaker 1: jack the man we don't need to see him but
Speaker 1: just now. But if you're looking at the numbers, like
Speaker 1: clearly where the numbers are falling off in terms of inoculations,
Speaker 1: and like the people who want them seem to have
Speaker 1: been in the process of getting them, which leaves a
Speaker 1: huge chunk of people who are like not fucking with
Speaker 1: it at all. And when you look at who is
Speaker 1: not getting the vaccine, if you're a vaccine skeptic, uh,
Speaker 1: you might be a Republican because and Maile essentially more
Speaker 1: than anything, And when you look at how herd immunity
Speaker 1: is absolutely what we need for any semblance of you know,
Speaker 1: the olden days to come back. You know, like that
Speaker 1: none of that's going to happen. We have millions of
Speaker 1: these assholes who are treating the vaccine like the last
Speaker 1: chance saloon for their toxic egos to put up a
Speaker 1: fight to be like, no, I'm not giving into this,
Speaker 1: this is the last thing I'll do. So now there's
Speaker 1: a thing called the Republican Doctors Caucus where They're members
Speaker 1: of Congress who are also doctors, physicians, eugenicists, and they
Speaker 1: are here to give a stern talking to to the
Speaker 1: Republican voters that are passing like I'm good, I'm not
Speaker 1: getting that five G shot, and I want to play
Speaker 1: this commercial for you because it's so fucking creepy that
Speaker 1: I'm already becoming a vaccine skeptic based on all these
Speaker 1: Republicans being like, hey man, you should get the shot.
Speaker 1: So here is a message from the concerned physicians of
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. You today not only as a United
Speaker 1: States Senator, but as a position concerned for the health
Speaker 1: and safety of our nation, and today I want to
Speaker 1: talk with you about getting your COVID vaccine. Last year,
Speaker 1: the entire world was forced to face the COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: pandemic head on. And now wait, the American people have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to achieve peace of mind and live life
Speaker 1: as free as by choosing to receive a COVID nineteen vaccine. Okay,
Speaker 1: everybody had to wear their fucking doctor's coat to remind
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not just a racist on TV, I'm
Speaker 1: a doctor on the side to also a sux chef,
Speaker 1: I mean doctor on the side. You can tell they
Speaker 1: all like have the same phase, yeah, blindness or do
Speaker 1: they all look exactly like It's wild, Like I could
Speaker 1: have drawn all these guys before this video started, and
Speaker 1: I've never seen them before in my life. And for
Speaker 1: people who have not seen this, you can catch you
Speaker 1: can see the link in the footnotes. But it has
Speaker 1: like it feels like a sketch where you're in a
Speaker 1: dystopian world where like you're like, wait, y'all are believing
Speaker 1: these people because like I'm already suspected them, Like just
Speaker 1: even though they're saying should I'm like, that's right, people should, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, think about their futures and being healthy. Uh.
Speaker 1: This thing is two minutes long, but I just want
Speaker 1: to go. They start going on by talking about like
Speaker 1: how we will get our freedoms back, and they start
Speaker 1: using this freedom pitch, so I just want to play you,
Speaker 1: like the last thirty seconds the freedom to do whatever
Speaker 1: Bill Gates tells me exactly where this angry man and
Speaker 1: a lab coat tries to just softly encourage you to
Speaker 1: get your vaccination and over nine of doctors in the
Speaker 1: United States have already chosen to get vaccinated. I look
Speaker 1: forward to the freedom that I, along with my loved ones,
Speaker 1: will regain once the vast majority of are vaccinated, if
Speaker 1: everyone does their part in the coming week once again
Speaker 1: and be able to worship together as a congregation. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, there you go, they're on the freedom train. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll have freedom. You know, doctors have been vaccinated. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that is going to necessarily convince those people.
Speaker 1: They're not very charismatic, should we say? The backdrop is
Speaker 1: also a giant syringe, which I don't think is the
Speaker 1: thing that you want to put forward like at the
Speaker 1: front of your message to these people who are just
Speaker 1: clearly very scared of needles and don't like auchies and
Speaker 1: are trying to incorporate that into their into like some
Speaker 1: brave political belief. Yeah, what they need to put in
Speaker 1: the background is like a Brett Michael's concert, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's almost like whoever made the video just searched COVID
Speaker 1: clip art. Yeah, because yeah, so like just fucking archaic looking.
Speaker 1: But I just want to say this, remember the guy
Speaker 1: who we just we saw the ab code who was
Speaker 1: like doctors blah blah blah. His name is Senator Roger Marshall,
Speaker 1: and he also for some reason put out an op
Speaker 1: ed uh in the Kansas City Paper today kind of
Speaker 1: going against everything he just said in that video which
Speaker 1: he's towing this weird fucking line where he's just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know what the hex
Speaker 1: going on, because like he had to pivot to Biden
Speaker 1: bad or everything bad. I just want to read you
Speaker 1: some excerpts from this, he says. He talks on talking
Speaker 1: about why why are vaccination rates so low in Kansas?
Speaker 1: What's going on? He says, in fact, almost half of
Speaker 1: Kansas Kansas adults are uncertain about getting vaccinated. Why because,
Speaker 1: like with most information surrounding the virus, politicians and bureaucrats
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Have not been transparent or consistent
Speaker 1: as they share the science surrounding the vaccine. Oh man,
Speaker 1: you were just trying to tell people, easy, nicey, nicey,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, Get the vaccine. Then you put out
Speaker 1: your op and be like, man, these people then they're
Speaker 1: doing they have they have these people on such off
Speaker 1: footing constantly. He then says federal bureaucrats have changed directions
Speaker 1: with no meaningful explanation. No endgame in sight and no
Speaker 1: consistency and blaming Anthony Fauci. It's like we're young. Do
Speaker 1: you not forget you were? You were the problem between
Speaker 1: you were everything you just described. You were the virus
Speaker 1: with the politicians not being transparent or consistent. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it does make me feel good that, like all
Speaker 1: the times that their central message is just incompatible with survival,
Speaker 1: Like it's just they can't they can't coexist like that ideology,
Speaker 1: and then just like anything about a healthy community, like
Speaker 1: they just can't do it, and so he has to
Speaker 1: completely contradict himself to to get out there, like that's
Speaker 1: gotta be killing them a little bit, right, like just
Speaker 1: slowly on the inside, Like doesn't that give you cancer
Speaker 1: if you're like going out there being like and I
Speaker 1: am a doctor also, so I know that this is
Speaker 1: where cancer comes from, going out there saying the medical
Speaker 1: truth and like a poorly produced video and then like
Speaker 1: screaming at the top of your loans they're lying to
Speaker 1: like at a certain level, like your soul dies a
Speaker 1: little you have to imply that they had a soul
Speaker 1: to beacon with, Like I feel like most for the
Speaker 1: most part, like people like that like don't have an
Speaker 1: inner world, Like I don't think that they like give
Speaker 1: them they're just lizards. They are. They're lizards out in
Speaker 1: the sun, baking in the hot l a weather and
Speaker 1: then four and a low of sixty. But it really
Speaker 1: like I think with sorry, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know why I to ITAs of local weather, but I
Speaker 1: had I don't know we had to. We had just
Speaker 1: called genius comedy. It's a call back. And with and
Speaker 1: these Republican doctors, I think because more than anything, they
Speaker 1: when you're a Republican doctor, you don't take you don't
Speaker 1: take the hippocratical if you take the hypocritical motherfucker oath
Speaker 1: where you will constantly contradict yourself and not say anything consistent.
Speaker 1: And he goes on to just saying, bureaucrats can't keep
Speaker 1: us from worshiping, gathering with extended family, traveling near and
Speaker 1: far with friends, enjoying life mass free. I hope you'll
Speaker 1: join me in choosing to receive the vaccine. Where which
Speaker 1: one is it? You're mad at them, You're being like, yo,
Speaker 1: they've fucked up. It's like they're because they're trying to
Speaker 1: keep the energy up that Biden bade still. But also, like,
Speaker 1: let's be real, all the business owners that donate to me,
Speaker 1: they know people need to get vaccinated for their businesses
Speaker 1: to actually pick back up because the science will prevent
Speaker 1: that from happening. So I don't know there. I think
Speaker 1: this is the other thing too, is they don't realize
Speaker 1: or rather, yeah, they don't realize. We've constantly talked about
Speaker 1: how the Republicans whole sort of platform of just untethering
Speaker 1: their supporters from reality is just a weird game to
Speaker 1: play because if you really need to explain something to them,
Speaker 1: they're not going to understand, like because the whole platform
Speaker 1: has been off and not on. That ain't ship that
Speaker 1: ain't real things real And you went from okay, well
Speaker 1: actually now we need you to get the vaccine please
Speaker 1: actually that that that was that was just a lot
Speaker 1: of nonsense or you know what, Um, actually the election
Speaker 1: wasn't stolen. It was just a lot of funk all
Speaker 1: right too late, huh Like I don't know, there's I
Speaker 1: don't know how you come back. It's uh, yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're completely fucked in terms of like internal cohesion and
Speaker 1: internal like integrity of any sort of message. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's like there they can like have the
Speaker 1: worst pr plan of all time that completely just like
Speaker 1: eats its own ass and still like as long as
Speaker 1: everyone just like hates the same thing enough, like they'll
Speaker 1: just be fine because it's all just based on like
Speaker 1: hating the same like list of things like really hardcore.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, it's just truly all they can do now
Speaker 1: is just try and create hatred because they can't. They
Speaker 1: can't do anything else. They really can't do anything else,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, fuck it, we need to put
Speaker 1: hate towards trans people. Fuck you, we need to put
Speaker 1: hay towards this, the scientific community or vaccines because they
Speaker 1: don't have the wherewithal anymore to actually like they're not
Speaker 1: they're not fiscal conservatives or balancing that, they're not any
Speaker 1: of that ship anymore. It's just it's just like, let's
Speaker 1: all hate the same let's all just be like incredibly
Speaker 1: hateful and I hate way like the player hater's ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just kind of dovetailing with that as it relates
Speaker 1: to someone you probably know maybe or like someone who
Speaker 1: you know knows. Uh, Joe Rogan came out a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, and I'll just read it word for
Speaker 1: word from his April three episode. I hate to say
Speaker 1: that if someone's children died from this, I'm very sorry
Speaker 1: that sorry that that happened. I'm not in any way
Speaker 1: diminishing that, but I'm saying the personal experience that my
Speaker 1: children had with COVID was nothing, and then went on
Speaker 1: to tell people, if they're young and healthy, not to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated, which is, you know, just anti scientific. Uh,
Speaker 1: the young are reservoirs for the virus and are powering
Speaker 1: the spread. So the only way to put the virus
Speaker 1: down is to immunize. So I wanted to talk about
Speaker 1: just like how this interacts with Spotify and just like
Speaker 1: tech companies in general. The head of Spotify came out
Speaker 1: was like, what I will say When someone asked him
Speaker 1: about this, he was like, I won't answer that. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's implied, will not be answering that. But what I
Speaker 1: will say is we have eight million creators and hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of pieces of content. We have a content
Speaker 1: policy and we do remove pieces that violate it. So
Speaker 1: essentially backing what he said as like not in violation
Speaker 1: of their content policies and also like the implication that
Speaker 1: they are too big to ethically manage their platform a k.
Speaker 1: Like there, you know, they're publishers of content, They're not
Speaker 1: just a platform where anybody can use it. There's this
Speaker 1: new Facebook article or it's not from Facebook, it's from
Speaker 1: a M I. T. Technology review about Facebook's attempt to
Speaker 1: like they've been telling us they've been working on like
Speaker 1: a more ethical way to manage their algorithms uh and
Speaker 1: machine learning. They put together this task force with the
Speaker 1: people who built their system that is called like ethical AI,
Speaker 1: and it's completely like this. So this person spent eight
Speaker 1: months with the person who's in charge of that, who
Speaker 1: was like the spear tip of machine learning at Facebook
Speaker 1: and like getting their news feed to like basically learn
Speaker 1: about us, make decisions about what anybody uses Facebook is
Speaker 1: going to find most engaging, and just pushing it in
Speaker 1: a more and more outrage focused direction. That led to
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of bad ship. But he is now
Speaker 1: on the solution team and she was like, So I
Speaker 1: spent eight months, and it took me in the eighth month,
Speaker 1: I figured out that they're not doing any of the
Speaker 1: things they claimed to be doing, Like any time I
Speaker 1: raised the central issues that would have allowed them to
Speaker 1: stop like the genocide that they were instrumental in causing.
Speaker 1: They redirected or delayed the meeting, and HUD basically sued
Speaker 1: Facebook and was like, your algorithms have become racist, and
Speaker 1: how they're recommending content to people like for real estate
Speaker 1: and that like violates a very specific law, and so
Speaker 1: they just put all their interest on that and that's
Speaker 1: all they will answer questions about. And it's just it's
Speaker 1: just basically the like I've been at a tech company
Speaker 1: where like they're struggling with the fact that the very
Speaker 1: thing that had driven all their profits to that point
Speaker 1: turns out to be like just drastically flawed, and but
Speaker 1: then they don't change anything about the overarching like ideals
Speaker 1: behind it that like trickle down to the cellular structure.
Speaker 1: They just like allow these people who are supposed to
Speaker 1: like help solve the problem in and then just like
Speaker 1: shoot them down one by one. And that's like all
Speaker 1: they know how to do. Mhm. And you know that
Speaker 1: these are really smart people who work for Facebook, but
Speaker 1: we keep seeing that being smart doesn't mean you're more
Speaker 1: likely to get to what the ethical solution is. It
Speaker 1: just allows you to kind of logically insulate yourself right
Speaker 1: and logically insulate yourself from you know, make an argument
Speaker 1: within your head that allows you to justify the horrifying
Speaker 1: ship that you're doing. Um, that's why cult members often
Speaker 1: test as being more intelligent by a statistically significant margin
Speaker 1: than the average non cult joiner, because the smarter you are,
Speaker 1: the better able you are to argue for whatever you
Speaker 1: want to believe. But yeah, so I just think that
Speaker 1: like the fact that Facebook has these super smart people
Speaker 1: at the helm like is actually standing in the way
Speaker 1: because they can find a way every day too, you know,
Speaker 1: Like the the way that people get promoted, the way
Speaker 1: people get raises, the way people get bonuses is all
Speaker 1: based on the central core statistic that Facebook cares about,
Speaker 1: which is engagement. That's it, like that, and that is
Speaker 1: shot through everything they try to do, no matter what.
Speaker 1: And the thing that produces engagement is misinformation. Like people
Speaker 1: are going to be more likely to listen to Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan say that, like he has some theories you haven't
Speaker 1: heard before on the COVID nineteen vaccine than they are
Speaker 1: to listen to the thousands of places being like just
Speaker 1: listen to the fucking c d C like, and they
Speaker 1: can't solve that. They literally, like the tech industry will
Speaker 1: never solve that unless there's like some structural uh you know,
Speaker 1: oversight where like the people like Mark Zuckerberg is co
Speaker 1: leading the company with somebody who is Their entire background
Speaker 1: is like journalism and fact checking and like that they
Speaker 1: have fifty of us, say, and who gets promoted, who
Speaker 1: gets paid, what they get paid, who gets fired. Like
Speaker 1: that's literally the only way, and that's just not how
Speaker 1: things organized. It's like unfixable. It's like an unfixable problem.
Speaker 1: Like there what they are precisely profiting off of, Like
Speaker 1: they would go out of business if they had actual ethics.
Speaker 1: I mean, so that was one question I was left with,
Speaker 1: is like whether there's a solution here, Like if we
Speaker 1: tear it down and turn it into multiple companies like
Speaker 1: Facebook or Spotify or whatever, they would face the same
Speaker 1: problem Facebook did when like one of the problems that
Speaker 1: they outlined in this m I T Review article is
Speaker 1: that Facebook got accused by the conservatives of having an
Speaker 1: anti conservative bias, so they altered their internal rules so
Speaker 1: that a filter couldn't stop conservative news more than liberal news,
Speaker 1: which made it so that any anti vaccine filter, uh
Speaker 1: or any any filter that was designed to like stop
Speaker 1: anti vax or ship was useless because that content was
Speaker 1: also almost exclusively coming from the conservative side. And same thing,
Speaker 1: like a lot of the you know, planning around the
Speaker 1: storming of the Capitol happened on Facebook, and like they
Speaker 1: can't you know, like if you haven't inherently like ideologically
Speaker 1: corrupt thing that is rising up in the country, like
Speaker 1: among a significant part of the population, you can't be like, well,
Speaker 1: that's that's that counts too. We have to be fair
Speaker 1: to them, or that's the entire fucking problem. So I
Speaker 1: don't I don't necessarily know what the solution is, but
Speaker 1: I do think that it's worth trying, like something where
Speaker 1: I have something, I have an idea. Let's let's just
Speaker 1: bring back my space. Thank you, let's bring it back.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to two thousand seven Internet. I wonder
Speaker 1: if it's it's the concept of a feed that's really
Speaker 1: fucking it up, you know, because you're so passively can
Speaker 1: just go to this trough of nonsense with a feed,
Speaker 1: infinite infinite scroll has like destroyed everything. There has to
Speaker 1: be an end or you just be like, oh, you
Speaker 1: want to know what's up? Navigate to that person's profile
Speaker 1: and that's where the information is. For Like the argument
Speaker 1: that this article, this reporter for m I T makes
Speaker 1: after like spending the nine months, is like every time
Speaker 1: a solution like that comes up, they just find a way.
Speaker 1: And it's not just people within Facebook, it's the people
Speaker 1: whose entire livelihood is driven by finding ways to make
Speaker 1: their information more uh engaging, and so they find a
Speaker 1: way around the AI. So it's like any single solution
Speaker 1: like that, it really needs to be at the central, like,
Speaker 1: this is the central motivation of this company cannot be
Speaker 1: growth and that is like what makes Facebook so massive
Speaker 1: is that they are singularly focused on growth. And another
Speaker 1: detail that she points out is she's like, this is
Speaker 1: not the first article that's been that had this exact motive,
Speaker 1: like of looking into how they're addressing this. The New
Speaker 1: York Times did one and it ended up being like
Speaker 1: a really uh so, it says. In May of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: Facebook granted a series of interviews with to The New
Speaker 1: York Times, which rewarded the company with a humanizing profile
Speaker 1: of the sensitive, well intentioned, and executive striving to overcome
Speaker 1: the technical challenges of filtering out misinformation and hate speech
Speaker 1: from a stream of content that amounted to billions of
Speaker 1: pieces of the day. Um, because like The New York
Speaker 1: Times is just like any of these other publishers that
Speaker 1: Facebook has been on the brink of putting out of
Speaker 1: business for years, Like they rely on Facebook to a
Speaker 1: an incredible degree, So like you can't that's another way
Speaker 1: that this is getting deaded. Like you we know that
Speaker 1: they enabled a genocide, Like you'd think that that would
Speaker 1: be front page news NonStop. The fact that they're not
Speaker 1: doing anything to solve it. But then my business can
Speaker 1: be affected by reporting the news because they control such
Speaker 1: a large share of eyeballs on their platform that I
Speaker 1: have actually been rendered inert as anything because of this
Speaker 1: whole fucking setup. Right, yeah, but anyways, it's it's I
Speaker 1: I don't have a solution, but it seems like the
Speaker 1: only thing would be like some drastic censuring of Facebook
Speaker 1: to like basically be a completely different company, and that's
Speaker 1: not going to happen without like radical, radical change and
Speaker 1: also fun Joe Rogan, Yeah, I thick that guy. Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: come on, man, he's he's pretty buff. We did we
Speaker 1: did get some somebody who I guess is a listener
Speaker 1: of both our shows or pay his attention, I guess
Speaker 1: to people who covered Joe. Rogan was saying that he
Speaker 1: had talked early on in the show about doing like
Speaker 1: testosterone replacement therapy. Uh, and that might have something to
Speaker 1: do with why uh he he fell into a bunch
Speaker 1: of ooze from India tours like the middle aged version.
Speaker 1: It's it's I mean, kind of all, it's kind of impressive.
Speaker 1: He also like for anyone who listens to that show,
Speaker 1: for like the kinds of trippy people he would have
Speaker 1: on that would say things like, you know, don't think
Speaker 1: we're all not this same, Like we're all individuals and
Speaker 1: we have to respect that too. Then apply that to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, well my kid didn't get it, so
Speaker 1: you should use that apply that to your life because
Speaker 1: my child didn't have Like you don't even you're not
Speaker 1: even hearing the ships. You say you don't believe it,
Speaker 1: and it's just become someone's trippy older brother's garage to
Speaker 1: smoke weed in where you here weird ship and then
Speaker 1: you get freaked out and leave. Yeah, alright, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 1: the zoom effect. And we're back and like we said, uh,
Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump is apparently listening to the show
Speaker 1: because on yesterday's episode we talked about how the brand
Speaker 1: is slipping, and sure enough today he's gonna he's planning
Speaker 1: his next moves to uh shure up the base. He
Speaker 1: wants Raley's baby. CNN did this piece where it reads
Speaker 1: like CNN was it sounds like Santa had to like
Speaker 1: make good for a bunch of ships to get this
Speaker 1: access because they're describing the president or the former president
Speaker 1: like a dude who does ship and is engaged with
Speaker 1: you know anything. But I'll just read this first part
Speaker 1: because they're describing sort of what the vibe is at
Speaker 1: Mara Lago and like how he's very busy now with
Speaker 1: his aids quote. Together, they decide which Republican candidates he
Speaker 1: will meet with at his office, a converted bridal suite
Speaker 1: above Mara lag Square football room, and whether they deserve
Speaker 1: his support. Often he'll ask for updates on his leadership
Speaker 1: pack in political operation, or spend hours chatting by phone
Speaker 1: with a quadre of old friends. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: love that his office isn't a converted former bridal, like
Speaker 1: he's just doing like whatever the funk he does in
Speaker 1: the same spot where like bride'smaids were getting like blackout
Speaker 1: drunk and like trying to like puke before walking down
Speaker 1: as he plays good the ballroom just like, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's probably like it needed to be. It has
Speaker 1: have double doors and two sets of doors. So once
Speaker 1: they come in, then there's another area where they come
Speaker 1: in and you hold them and then we'll build tension,
Speaker 1: and then you bring them into the main office where
Speaker 1: I will be having my back turn to them, looking
Speaker 1: out upon my marvelous estate, and they'll be like, oh
Speaker 1: you again, is it Rubio, And that'll be that's the
Speaker 1: vibe I'm going forward. So the whole thing is like,
Speaker 1: so when you read that, you're like, man, don't act
Speaker 1: like he's fucking you know, doing West Wing ship, rifling
Speaker 1: through papers, doing walk and talks funck that um. But
Speaker 1: they do also point out that this dude will play
Speaker 1: twenty seven holes of golf multiple times a week, so
Speaker 1: there is some there is some level of just objective
Speaker 1: reporting of what's happening. Um. But then the rallies though
Speaker 1: he said quote. Recently, Trump has initiated discussions about resuming
Speaker 1: the signature MAGA rallies that fortified his nascent political movement
Speaker 1: in sixteen and continued throughout his presidency. Well. He has
Speaker 1: vowed to travel to Alaska to campaign against Murkowski and
Speaker 1: is said to be interested in hosting campaign events for
Speaker 1: some of the candidates he's already endorsed. Aid said the
Speaker 1: logistics are still being worked out, but he could resume
Speaker 1: rallies as early as May. Puke. So you know, he
Speaker 1: sees himself as the barometer for the party now and
Speaker 1: that's what he's trying to do. And I think the
Speaker 1: rallies are truly like his one way back to being
Speaker 1: relevant because Twitter has completely made him vanished. He's also
Speaker 1: got to move merch. Yeah, yeah, he hasn't done a
Speaker 1: big merch push in a while. He's probably like needs
Speaker 1: the money. He found that it's more profitable to just
Speaker 1: threaten his supporters and like weird emails where it's like
Speaker 1: we heard you turned your back on the president, asshole.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at his shop just to see like what
Speaker 1: kind of because I remember like there was there were
Speaker 1: straws and shipped to get people all being like you
Speaker 1: you don't like straws, throw these Trump straws. He's still
Speaker 1: selling straws, got maga hats. Uh. Then the new Yard sign.
Speaker 1: Don't blame me. I voted for Trump. Okay, Actually I
Speaker 1: think that ship is genius. Yeah, to walk around with it.
Speaker 1: They don't blame me. I voted for Trump, okay. Um.
Speaker 1: And then like there's a thing called the Trump Freedom
Speaker 1: hat that looks like a trucker's come. It's just like
Speaker 1: a golden eagle with stars and it's like the most
Speaker 1: aggro American man shit I've ever seen. And I hate
Speaker 1: to bring truckers into it, but yeah, there is. Don't
Speaker 1: insult truckers come that way. Truckers have beautiful come. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some of the best, some of the strongest. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: it's just all very um overpriced and made in China.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he We'll see what. And ultimately, I think
Speaker 1: the people that make merch are like the black dudes
Speaker 1: who you see at the at the Maggia rallies who
Speaker 1: are really hustling. Those are always my favorite viewer. They're like, yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: it's a grind, but I will move all these Trump
Speaker 1: flags and the racist white people, and they somehow aren't
Speaker 1: aware that I'm a personal color selling it to them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll keep our eyes and ears tuned to see
Speaker 1: if he moves. I think he's like, I think he's
Speaker 1: most I think Trump is mostly like bored of being
Speaker 1: like the Mickey Mouse character at mar Lago that everyone
Speaker 1: wants to take a picture with, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: that can that could only sustain him for so long?
Speaker 1: Like although like can you know, like he crashes like
Speaker 1: every wedding and gives a speech like I've seen the
Speaker 1: videos it it's like the funniest thing of all time.
Speaker 1: But like that's got to get old after how long
Speaker 1: has it been? Like three months? Four months? Does it?
Speaker 1: If he's showing up to a wedding and everyone's like
Speaker 1: it's truly him and he can just like take the
Speaker 1: mic for hours and hours, like, um, it's not a
Speaker 1: bad life. It's not a bad life. If I had
Speaker 1: like a whole place dedicated to me, I would crash
Speaker 1: all the weddings and a whole celebrity. It's Jack Lamata
Speaker 1: at the end of Raging Bull and de Niro's character
Speaker 1: at the end of Casino. It's like that that is
Speaker 1: where a certain type of like criminally toxic narcissism lands
Speaker 1: you is like that is the solution, just people motherfucker's
Speaker 1: like motherfucker's that graduated and go back to their high school. Yes,
Speaker 1: the same energy. It's that big, big scene, big yeah
Speaker 1: you remember me? Huh Yeah, Well now I'm twenty and
Speaker 1: I still live with my mom. Uh but yeah you
Speaker 1: remember me. Remember you know that banner hanging up in
Speaker 1: the gym. That's cousin me. Wow, that's so Trump's fibe.
Speaker 1: He's like a super senior. Yeah exactly, and that's all
Speaker 1: he He hasn't grown past that. So it's just this
Speaker 1: really lame version of going back to the football games
Speaker 1: and walking the track being like, yeah, I'm back, I
Speaker 1: got jack. It still fits. Huh, what's up coaching map.
Speaker 1: It's truly wild how much he has been diminished by
Speaker 1: being banned from Twitter, Like that is I I don't
Speaker 1: know that. That's another thing that just continues to make
Speaker 1: me interested in like because I feel like it's become
Speaker 1: cool to be like, oh, social media is like bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's not like the problem because you know, people are
Speaker 1: gonna say what they're gonna say, but like, just his
Speaker 1: their ability to just like ban him and completely change
Speaker 1: the texture of the fucking country as pretty pretty wild.
Speaker 1: It seems like very small changes to how information spreads
Speaker 1: is like, can have drastic impact. And I think yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean also, every journalist is just looking at Twitter,
Speaker 1: so if like Trump's not on it, like it's just
Speaker 1: like not news. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: journalists are looking at Twitter, and if he's not there,
Speaker 1: then it's like up to the media matters folks who
Speaker 1: have to just mainline a bunch of Fox News and
Speaker 1: news Max and should do oh sho, there he is.
Speaker 1: There is fun. He popped up here and he said
Speaker 1: some weird shit. Um, and and even then it's like
Speaker 1: the same old thing, which is like, yeah, Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: he's completely failure for For are there to be a
Speaker 1: healthy version of social media, you need like people who
Speaker 1: like right people from right Wing Watch, like as important
Speaker 1: as Mark Zuckerberg. Alright, Uh, let's talk about another technological impact,
Speaker 1: this one that we're actually coming back from a a
Speaker 1: long stop down because zoom is fucking us. But this
Speaker 1: is something people are talking about called the zoom effect,
Speaker 1: wherein we have been looking at our own faces for
Speaker 1: way too long during this pandemic, and we've had enough
Speaker 1: time to all develop body facial dysmorphia and there is
Speaker 1: now a big upticking cosmetic surgery. Yeah, there's this U
Speaker 1: sort of study or I don't know the article in
Speaker 1: the Business of Fashion. So it's like sort of tracking
Speaker 1: all kinds of trends, good or bad, sort of around this.
Speaker 1: And yeah, uh, there's a new survey saying of thousand women,
Speaker 1: one in ten indicated they're more interested in cosmetic surgery
Speaker 1: now more than they were before the pandemic, and one
Speaker 1: quarter of respondents who had a procedure in the past
Speaker 1: said they would like additional work done as it relates
Speaker 1: to the pandemic. And I think in the beginning this
Speaker 1: this zoom effect is really just brought up by like
Speaker 1: plastic surgeons who are like, I'm seeing a lot of things,
Speaker 1: Like early in the lockdown, it was all facial things,
Speaker 1: so it was like fillers getting your wrinkles done. I
Speaker 1: lived because people were so focused on their own faces
Speaker 1: and zoom or people just saw themselves a lot more
Speaker 1: than I think they were used to. And then that
Speaker 1: died off, and now because things are evolving with vaccines,
Speaker 1: there's a secondary wave and the interest is all centered
Speaker 1: around what they call procedures below the zoom line. So
Speaker 1: that's like anything with like liposuction or tummy touch, that's
Speaker 1: like the new wave. Yeah, that people want to just
Speaker 1: sort of address like weight game now was the face
Speaker 1: Now it's like this post pandemic weight gain. It's all
Speaker 1: very toxic. But they all think. They're all thinking that
Speaker 1: part of it too, is that this because they're still
Speaker 1: social distancing, the healing process can also be more discreet
Speaker 1: and you don't have to go out and explain to
Speaker 1: people like if you were, you know, missing from somewhere
Speaker 1: or whatever. And yeah, so that's what we're doing with
Speaker 1: now is this zoom effect? I mean this is real.
Speaker 1: Like I know people who have like gone into plastic
Speaker 1: surgery like because of the pandemic or like this was
Speaker 1: the time to do it if they were thinking about
Speaker 1: doing it already, like and they went and got procedures.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been thinking about pumping my face full
Speaker 1: of boat talks. I'm ready for it. I think, I think, um,
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I'm pro plastic surgery. I'm pro
Speaker 1: injecting everything you want to inject. Like I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: anti like feeling bad about yourself, but like pro agency.
Speaker 1: I get this. I totally get it, like I have,
Speaker 1: Like I completely understand it. I also like I get
Speaker 1: the like we're just living like in like the digital
Speaker 1: world so much, like I would love a procedure to
Speaker 1: just like upload myself into the Internet, like I don't
Speaker 1: need regular life anymore, Like I figured it out, Like
Speaker 1: I don't want a body. I'll just I'm down to
Speaker 1: just be uploaded. Yeah. Yeah, we were talking about that
Speaker 1: very thing this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bodies are a
Speaker 1: real pain in the ass. Who needs them? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean only for only for sixty nine. Really, that's the
Speaker 1: only reason I can think of. Yea, even then, just
Speaker 1: change the binary from zeros and ones to sixes and nines,
Speaker 1: and I'm yes, that's this is That's exactly what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. If we can change binary code to sixes
Speaker 1: and nine, upload my consciousness to megaphone, libs in iTunes, Spotify,
Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do, get me out of here. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm ready. But the other thing what's interesting is overall,
Speaker 1: I mean, like the articles weird because I said surpribably,
Speaker 1: like you know, procedures went down in overall it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was a lockdown, and for a while we
Speaker 1: were only doing absolutely necessary medical procedures. I don't know if,
Speaker 1: and they don't really mention that. They just say like
Speaker 1: there was a trend, like there were fourteen percent less
Speaker 1: procedures being done. But the one thing they do point out,
Speaker 1: the one things that increased over twenty nineteen in terms
Speaker 1: of procedures were butt and peck implants increased. H Yeah,
Speaker 1: so people wanted new butts and people wanted them swoll chests.
Speaker 1: I guess because it wasn't breastocented. This is for male
Speaker 1: peck pectoral implants because exactly against what I would expect,
Speaker 1: because but implants wouldn't that hurt for a long time
Speaker 1: when you're sitting like all I do is sit. That
Speaker 1: would that would kill's stomach? Man? You know? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean your stomach and then you got two cakes
Speaker 1: behind your head, You got it. Why waste a butt
Speaker 1: by sitting on it when you could just be doing
Speaker 1: like a like a squat selfie into the mirror looking
Speaker 1: back at it. That if I if I got my butt,
Speaker 1: if I ever got my butt done, I would just
Speaker 1: be permanently stuck in the like squat with the phone
Speaker 1: behind me into the nearer selfie. Just that would be
Speaker 1: what I would look like, right, And also I would
Speaker 1: get the kind of butt implants to that the cheeks
Speaker 1: were so big up top that like it folds into
Speaker 1: my lower back. So I could also create a new
Speaker 1: like fold to put like pieces of paper in like
Speaker 1: a peacock with my butt cheeks. And a lot of
Speaker 1: people put their pencil behind their ear. I got a
Speaker 1: whole new solution to that. You know, it's convenient. It's convenient.
Speaker 1: We have the technology, the technology, we have the technology,
Speaker 1: we've got to season. Yeah, I also feel like one
Speaker 1: thing that could be going on is like it's a
Speaker 1: good time to get the rest involved in recovering, right,
Speaker 1: like you're not around other people. And then also I
Speaker 1: just feel like I am generally in much worse shape
Speaker 1: than I've ever been in my life because of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's because of the pandemic. Could also be
Speaker 1: because I'm forty now and old, but that I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe people are just in like I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily buy that it's fully zoom based. I don't either.
Speaker 1: I think like people are thinking about their lives, They're
Speaker 1: like reflecting on themselves. They are have more free time
Speaker 1: to just like think, and I'm I've come to this
Speaker 1: conclusion in the pandemic that one of the most important
Speaker 1: things I care about is being hot. And I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm alone in that. I think being hot is
Speaker 1: fun and that's why it's a priority for me above
Speaker 1: almost anything else. Is I wear the color yellow, and
Speaker 1: I try to be hot and it makes life better.
Speaker 1: And you simplified it too. You're not trying to tick
Speaker 1: all these boxes. You're like, Okay, I wake up, were yellow,
Speaker 1: be hot? Done? And if you go to bed, I
Speaker 1: don't have anything else I need to do that day.
Speaker 1: At six am in bed. By seven am, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm done. Those are the only two things that matter
Speaker 1: to me. But I mean, like, I think it's like
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when I say, like being hot,
Speaker 1: I think, like you don't need like any you know,
Speaker 1: medical intervention necessarily, but if that beyond peck and of
Speaker 1: course the obvious ones that we all need to be getting,
Speaker 1: which are packing. But but like, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: I totally get this. I don't think it has anything
Speaker 1: to do with zoom and I think it has everything
Speaker 1: to do with like everyone's horny and wants to be
Speaker 1: hot in sixty nine by June nine, and like, for
Speaker 1: some people that means getting some juveiterm, getting some eyebrow threads.
Speaker 1: Look and like the Beauty of sixty nine, you don't
Speaker 1: have You don't look because you're focused, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. You don't have time to really look at
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. You know, you gotta have your
Speaker 1: head in the game, so you don't necessarily have to
Speaker 1: look your hottest, you know, just have your mouth. Just
Speaker 1: get those exercises done. You know, do you guys do
Speaker 1: the zoom thing, the improve my appearance, touch up my
Speaker 1: appearance filter on zoom? No, I've not, do you know?
Speaker 1: You know about it though, right? Yeah. I also heard
Speaker 1: about it because Jack was talking about doing meetings with
Speaker 1: somebody he's suspected of always darkening their eyebrows on zoom.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the thing. It wasn't suspecting. He at
Speaker 1: one point turned and his eyebrows didn't turn with him.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. Yeah, I do think
Speaker 1: like maybe that would be the thing, because it's like,
Speaker 1: if you're so used to you're touched up appearance, and
Speaker 1: then you look in the mirror and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: like I need a filter for real life, where is
Speaker 1: we can give ourselves filters in the form of like injectables.
Speaker 1: It's like very easy, yeah, yeah, you know, and think
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, uh to go outside
Speaker 1: for a little bit, get used to the world again.
Speaker 1: And then if if you feel like you're your digital
Speaker 1: form that is haunting you, you still want to bring
Speaker 1: them to real life, you know, then do that. But ship,
Speaker 1: I know, like there is such a it's true, like
Speaker 1: you're saying, like you do get stuck in this idea
Speaker 1: of digital life because it's it's having to replace traditional
Speaker 1: physical proximity. So now we're used to working over zoom
Speaker 1: and putting our thoughts out there through the social media
Speaker 1: or whatever, and that's how we communicate. But it's like
Speaker 1: I think part of that too is really trying to
Speaker 1: begin to ease yourself back out of that of having
Speaker 1: to normalize that and remembering like you're in your body
Speaker 1: too and not just like whatever the video clip is
Speaker 1: of you being reflected back to you in your phone,
Speaker 1: or the opposite plan, which is just fully be online
Speaker 1: and never come back. Give yourself over. Baby, it's time
Speaker 1: let's all join the cloud. It's fun up here. This
Speaker 1: is the real meme. What you guys are seeing. You
Speaker 1: saw me in person, Like, that's not me, this is
Speaker 1: this is its body. My physical body is sixty nine.
Speaker 1: My consciousness is now on the internet. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I want that. Like it's like the matrix but all
Speaker 1: the battery pods are just couples six exactly. Oh my god. Incredible.
Speaker 1: Does the Zoom article mentioned the looming sixty nine at
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel where we doesn't because there?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's they don't they don't get it.
Speaker 1: We're truth seekers like Joe Rogan, you know what I
Speaker 1: mean was coming Kate. It has been such a pleasure
Speaker 1: having you on Daily Zeitgeist. Yeah, this was a blast.
