Speaker 1: which is the strangest thing. It's like, oh, are you
Speaker 1: a fan of this can of Boss coffee? Because there's
Speaker 1: a whole line of do you want a pencil case
Speaker 1: shape like this can of coffee? You want to key
Speaker 1: change shape like this can of coffee you want to have?
Speaker 1: It's a lot they treat all products Americans treat Baha Blast. Yeah.

Speaker 1: as a culture we can get our hands on Baja
Speaker 1: Blast culture, because we will. We'll take we'll turn this
Speaker 1: ship up to the next level. There'll be a there'll
Speaker 1: be all kinds of new kinds of fashion Baja Blast fashion,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We took it like fucking
Speaker 1: Lolita ship and made that a whole fashion fucking Baha
Speaker 1: Blast it's here. Yeah yeah, now I'm imagining Baha Blast
Speaker 1: Lolita actually yeah, but like yeah, because in like like
Speaker 1: ju or whatever, you'll see a lot of like Lolita
Speaker 1: fashion people. Now the pinks and whites have been replaced
Speaker 1: with that very specific shade of Baja blue. Wowice. Okay. Also,
Speaker 1: I just have to shout out Zeke Gang because we
Speaker 1: kind of had a brief conversation about how like the
Speaker 1: Baja Blast thing is a little bit washed towards the
Speaker 1: end of last week, and they were like, and that
Speaker 1: means that it should be every a k for this show,
Speaker 1: And they were right about that. Yeah, yeah, we are
Speaker 1: washed washed. All right, Umi, We're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we'll
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We are nationally at the point that a lot of
Speaker 1: high school junior seniors, college freshmen, or at where everybody's
Speaker 1: looking at that fake I D game see seeing if
Speaker 1: we have a friend who can make sick fake I
Speaker 1: D s because apparently you can forge the New York
Speaker 1: vacks pass in eleven minutes. Yes, real quick, like easy baby,
Speaker 1: that's what we're saying. That's really need it easy to
Speaker 1: forge document that to a very complex issue that has
Speaker 1: a lot of civil liberties implications. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: out the anti trans bills that are being rolled out
Speaker 1: at a state level in Texas and Arkansas. Just absolute violence, absolutely,
Speaker 1: like just if they want you to know they're evil,
Speaker 1: they're they're not even. So they're not even. They can't
Speaker 1: even point to a problem. They're solved. No aside from
Speaker 1: which trying to people up people's lives up. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about whether police should be armed. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Colton Underwood, former bachelor who came out on Good
Speaker 1: Morning America yesterday. If we have time, we will talk
Speaker 1: about that Fast nine trailer. Uh, and we will definitely
Speaker 1: make time to talk about white Cloth Surge, all of them.
Speaker 1: What the fund is that people are acting like it
Speaker 1: has caffeine in it just because the word surge is
Speaker 1: attached to it. But it's just a surge of alcohol. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just double the alcohol. There's just like's gonna be
Speaker 1: a surge of accidents around your house. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I wonder if it's because of the old
Speaker 1: you know, late nineties green soda coca culture, because that
Speaker 1: ad campaign we've talked about on the show when it
Speaker 1: came back around like in or whatever, the commercials were
Speaker 1: literally teenagers screaming in the streets. Yeah, like okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so if I hear surge, I'm not gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a gentle. A lot of people give
Speaker 1: twenty eight days Later credit for creating the fast Zombies,
Speaker 1: but it was actually yeah. Uh. We'll get to all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Ayumi, we like to
Speaker 1: ask our guest, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that is revealing about who you are? M So this
Speaker 1: was kind of hard to choose. Um, I have a
Speaker 1: safer work and not safer work choice. I don't know
Speaker 1: which one I should be going with. Definitely not let's work.
Speaker 1: Well okay, so in that case, so in that case, well,
Speaker 1: because most of my search history is just like stuff
Speaker 1: for my own podcast and then just like stuff about
Speaker 1: COVID in Japan and you know, just keeping track of things,
Speaker 1: and so the reacent thing I had to search for
Speaker 1: is uh, exercise for sex meaning like exercise to make
Speaker 1: sure that like you're physically capable of having sex, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense, like being in peak sex shape exactly
Speaker 1: like the training montage before the sex scene in In
Speaker 1: One's Life, The Rocky of Sex. Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: just like for me, like I mean, like most people,
Speaker 1: but especially for me recently, I've just like been dealing
Speaker 1: with that kind of change in my just like physical behavior,
Speaker 1: like in terms of a job change and stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: at home more. We never had a lockdown over here,
Speaker 1: by the way, but I've been home a lot more.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like walk every day and stuff. But
Speaker 1: like I've just noticed I'm tired all the time, and
Speaker 1: so I decided to like kind of give that a search.
Speaker 1: And like almost everything is for like like sis head guys,
Speaker 1: So it was kind of hard to find something that
Speaker 1: would actually apply to me, but I did, and it
Speaker 1: looks very difficult, but um, like it's like very They're
Speaker 1: all these like super complicated things that have Also I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's because of the source or whatever
Speaker 1: that it like has this higher expectation of what your
Speaker 1: base level is. I guess, Well, so what's the what's
Speaker 1: the sort of philosophical thrust. Oh my gosh, like funck
Speaker 1: fitness for a nonst because I'd imagine this sis head
Speaker 1: bro versions like, dude, you gotta get your cords shape real,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be fucking pumping jackhammering away, get your lutes, activating,
Speaker 1: makes your hip lexers are tight, you loser, and get
Speaker 1: your and also don't use your back you gotta get
Speaker 1: your thighs involved too, or whatever that Like that's how
Speaker 1: I feel the tone of that article is is men's
Speaker 1: fitness and always has been an American gladiator? Oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say so. Like I think the one if
Speaker 1: I was like on Cosmo, I think, and it was
Speaker 1: or something like equivalent to that, And it's just like
Speaker 1: all kinds of different like stretches and like there's some
Speaker 1: core stuff also, but it's mostly like making sure your
Speaker 1: body can do all the things, I guess, And it's
Speaker 1: assumption is like you're you're it's also assuming like straight
Speaker 1: sex in the first place, but you's saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: your man's gonna put you in all kinds of different
Speaker 1: positions and it's like sure, whatever, um sure, high assumptions.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's so it's just I just wanted, like,
Speaker 1: I just was curious to see if there's anything I
Speaker 1: know that there is, like more specific stuff. There's a
Speaker 1: on the This is Good for You podcast. I think
Speaker 1: the first or second episode of that podcast was about
Speaker 1: the Cowgirl workout. Yeah, that is so that's done by us.
Speaker 1: Was her name, Tyoming. She's like she's like a like
Speaker 1: a sex expert and like I guess um kind of
Speaker 1: like advice kind of columnists or something like that. Like
Speaker 1: she puts I know her from like putting lots of
Speaker 1: She makes like videos online for like explaining how positions
Speaker 1: work and stuff like that. But it's very much like
Speaker 1: woman focused. I would say it's probably more specifically black
Speaker 1: woman focused honestly because she is a black woman. But
Speaker 1: it has a lot of stuff that really is helpful
Speaker 1: for all sorts of people, I think. But I've heard
Speaker 1: about her from other podcasts and stuff as well. But yes,
Speaker 1: she was on that podcast, and so she was talking
Speaker 1: about that workout, and I remember, I want to check
Speaker 1: it out. It's a little pens of and I don't
Speaker 1: really have that kind of money right now, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's interesting that they're starting to be more
Speaker 1: stuff like that out there for people. I think, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? Ah? So overrated? Um,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the best way to phrase this,
Speaker 1: but I would say talent or like the word talent.
Speaker 1: So this is kind of speaking as an artist. So
Speaker 1: I got my training like a long time ago, back
Speaker 1: in high school. Primarily I've been kind of drawing on
Speaker 1: and off, but doing other stuff. I was an English
Speaker 1: major and university and all these things, so kind of
Speaker 1: like art became kind of more of a hobby. But
Speaker 1: like I still continue to do it, you know, in
Speaker 1: my free time, and I just get very tired at
Speaker 1: this age, Like I'm thirty now, and I'm always hearing
Speaker 1: people say, oh, you are so talented. Your artists so good,
Speaker 1: You're so talented, and artists a skill just like any
Speaker 1: other skill, any other trade that you can do. Um,
Speaker 1: And so like it's something I studied to do, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't just like magically become good at art, Like
Speaker 1: I had to work to get good at art, I guess.
Speaker 1: So I know that people mean well when they say that,
Speaker 1: but I prefer the word skilled over talented. I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think because I think it obscures essential part of
Speaker 1: what it means to do, like any kind of creative
Speaker 1: art that you engage in. I think to put that
Speaker 1: word talent, because I used to have this idea too
Speaker 1: of what art was or what an artist was or did,
Speaker 1: and it was a person who was just I don't know.
Speaker 1: You've got these freaks walking around call artists and they
Speaker 1: just can't help themselves but to pick up a brush
Speaker 1: or an instrument or whatever, and they just fucking do
Speaker 1: their thing. It's wild. It's like they're like kind of
Speaker 1: the superheroes of our of our culture in a weird
Speaker 1: way without really like thinking like, no, these are all
Speaker 1: just fucked up people who this is a thing they
Speaker 1: really like to do. And the process of even being
Speaker 1: creative is like it's never this magical thing where someone
Speaker 1: is just thinking so originally and they came up with something.
Speaker 1: I think. Why. There's like a book I read. It's
Speaker 1: a very easy read. It's called how to Steal Like
Speaker 1: an Artist that really helps like deconstruct this idea that
Speaker 1: like people aren't just iterating on things that happened that
Speaker 1: they've they've looked at or were influenced by, rather than
Speaker 1: this idea that like in a vacuum, you're hit with
Speaker 1: inspiration and coming up with something so next level. And
Speaker 1: I think that maybe help will help people embrace like
Speaker 1: their own interest in a certain artistic endeavor. Like it's
Speaker 1: like anything, it's a muscle you gotta The first ship
Speaker 1: you're gonna do isn't gonna be good, it's gonna be whack,
Speaker 1: but you like it and it doesn't matter. And that's
Speaker 1: the beauty of it is that it doesn't matter. You
Speaker 1: just keep doing it and keep doing it and you
Speaker 1: get better and better. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think most artists like to um at some point, you know,
Speaker 1: we all like like to redraw stuff that or will
Speaker 1: not just necessarily draw, like any art, you know, they
Speaker 1: like to redo the thing that they did before to
Speaker 1: see how they've grown. It's like the easiest way also
Speaker 1: to show other people how they've grown. Of course, I
Speaker 1: draw so differently from what I did like ten years ago,
Speaker 1: or you know, twenty years ago when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: But well, I guess right now I'm more primarily doing
Speaker 1: like digital painting and stuff like that. I do also
Speaker 1: lots of fiber arts, so I'm also working in starting
Speaker 1: knitwear design. So I knits and I spin, I sew
Speaker 1: a little bit, and those are all skills also, and
Speaker 1: I didn't always know how to do those things either, right,
Speaker 1: I mean just looking at the art, like when you
Speaker 1: go to your Twitter feed, there's like four different pieces
Speaker 1: of art in your pinned tweet and oh yeah because
Speaker 1: it was a portfolio day. Yeah. Yeah, it's very like
Speaker 1: it's encouraging to me to hear you say that, like
Speaker 1: talent like that, it's not just god given talent, because
Speaker 1: like this is like you, it's like you have photo
Speaker 1: realistic stuff. You have like really cool looking, like more
Speaker 1: cartoon influenced stuff, and like I just feel like people
Speaker 1: I would look at that and be like, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: somebody who just woke up and was able to like
Speaker 1: reproduce whatever was inside their head. So that's pretty dope
Speaker 1: to hear. Yeah. Yeah, I still think that my art
Speaker 1: could use improvement, but I do. I do appreciate hearing
Speaker 1: that people enjoy my artwork. It's the process, you know,
Speaker 1: We're never done. We're never done, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest I think that's the biggest
Speaker 1: gift you can give yourself as a creative person because yes,
Speaker 1: while we can always be like I can do better
Speaker 1: and ship. Trust me as a Japanese person, I know
Speaker 1: I know the ship that can get in our heads
Speaker 1: specifically around like folk like nailing down a craft and
Speaker 1: perfecting things because that's part of the culture. But I
Speaker 1: think in terms of like telling ourselves constantly, like we're
Speaker 1: always iterating, we're always evolving, so what my style is
Speaker 1: now will not be the style it will continue. Is
Speaker 1: just like you gotta go easy on yourself because it's
Speaker 1: so easy, like fun, this should be better. Fucking I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated because that should happens a lot, and it's
Speaker 1: very easy to burn out if you're not, you know,
Speaker 1: giving yourself that They say that like, um, like just
Speaker 1: in parenting, when the worst thing to do is to
Speaker 1: compliment a kid on like their natural ability in something,
Speaker 1: and the better thing is to like treat it as
Speaker 1: a process where you're like kind of learning and you know,
Speaker 1: make a verb of it, as opposed to like a
Speaker 1: commodity that the kid is like, wow, you're you really
Speaker 1: like get math, you're really good at math, and as
Speaker 1: opposed to like you're doing great and math, uh right, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: look at you you're you're on your way to being
Speaker 1: a mathematician, right, but yeah, you gotta you have to
Speaker 1: sort of take out the past fail, good, bad, binary
Speaker 1: just talking about things like this because they're not that
Speaker 1: simple and because of that, like how we wander into
Speaker 1: all these sort of talks ways of thinking. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: that especially goes for things where it's I think people
Speaker 1: get caught up in this, especially when it's like writing
Speaker 1: or doing doing things that aren't as like evident outwardly,
Speaker 1: as like being a really being able to draw really
Speaker 1: cool ship you're like making music, where like feedback is
Speaker 1: a little more instant. Yeah, stuff a wham baru feedback.
Speaker 1: I don't even think that was you mean whammy bar
Speaker 1: wam wammy. I call it wham because we're tight. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I think
Speaker 1: I would say the people who make our fast fashion clothes, um,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So, like I did to before,
Speaker 1: I do a lot of textile arts and um. I
Speaker 1: actually one of my main mentors when I was starting
Speaker 1: in high school was someone who was an immigrant to
Speaker 1: the US. I was living in New York at the time,
Speaker 1: and um, she would make she would mostly use like
Speaker 1: a knitting machine to do knitwear for these big brands
Speaker 1: and stuff. And she was making like okay money, but
Speaker 1: she wasn't making a lot compared to like how much
Speaker 1: she was putting out and how much these things you
Speaker 1: should go for. And I do feel like people are
Speaker 1: talking more about the problems with fast fashion in general,
Speaker 1: but you know, like comparing seeing like, oh, something is
Speaker 1: like handmade, if they've seen someone make it in front
Speaker 1: of their eyes, they treated differently than something that's in
Speaker 1: the store, but that's also still made by a person.
Speaker 1: And um, I was kind of thinking about doing this,
Speaker 1: and then I saw this terrible article from the Cato
Speaker 1: Institute about how like sweatshops are feminism. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, you know, actually sweatshops are like
Speaker 1: good for women because like don't you want them to
Speaker 1: be working in there instead of men? And it was
Speaker 1: like are you kidding me? It was really wild. God,
Speaker 1: who could who, I mean, who else but the Coke
Speaker 1: funded Cato Institute could give us such a great take
Speaker 1: on something like that. Yeah, So I saw that. I
Speaker 1: saw that my feet yesterday and I was like, m
Speaker 1: this is this is terrible. Um, I know that it
Speaker 1: was on my feet because everyone was disagreeing with it,
Speaker 1: but like it just still needs to be like addressed,
Speaker 1: like because there are definitely people out there who do
Speaker 1: feel that way. I think, yeah, yes, so much of
Speaker 1: the modern world, like the one of the big lies
Speaker 1: of the modern world just trying to hide like the
Speaker 1: work from from the consumer, like the work that goes
Speaker 1: into the products like Amazon, and we've been talking about
Speaker 1: how you know, in order for people to be like
Speaker 1: I pressed a button and my product was on my
Speaker 1: doorstep an hour later, Like those drivers have to kem bottles,
Speaker 1: and like there's real human suffering that is going into that.
Speaker 1: Um fast fashion is a great example one that I
Speaker 1: was kind of unaware of. Is that a lot of
Speaker 1: like the Facebook algorithm stuff and uh, you know, even Amazon,
Speaker 1: like all all of those things that we assume are
Speaker 1: being done by an algorithm in the background, there's actually
Speaker 1: people who are watching the content that gets posted and
Speaker 1: like suffering from PTSD in order to like, you know,
Speaker 1: put put these recommendations together and like we just I
Speaker 1: think I think there's just a fetishization of like we
Speaker 1: press a button, goes into the box and comes out
Speaker 1: what we want, and it's yeah, it's not. That's not
Speaker 1: the way things are actually operating, right, Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: My uh gosh, this is like eight years ago now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember when eBay was
Speaker 1: trying to compete with Amazon and did eBay now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's been a while. My my younger brother
Speaker 1: was a driver for eBay now, and it was something
Speaker 1: where it was like kind of like a startup and
Speaker 1: it seemed very exciting at the beginning, but after the
Speaker 1: holiday brush and he was like it was a kind
Speaker 1: of thing where kind of similar to like I guess
Speaker 1: like George ashed, all those things now are for food,
Speaker 1: Like people would like buy stuff online and then he
Speaker 1: would have to go drive over and pick it up
Speaker 1: and send it over to them and it was just
Speaker 1: so stressful for him around the holiday season. And then
Speaker 1: like right after that, they fired like so many people
Speaker 1: and he I don't think he had his job for
Speaker 1: much longer after that. They really fizzled that. It was
Speaker 1: like less than a year. It was really enough. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we just it's all about instant gratification and ignoring how
Speaker 1: why it's Instant's those I think of our consumer culture
Speaker 1: and now it's bleeding into just how we look at everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, like societally, i'd say like America's in some
Speaker 1: form of free fall at the moment, but it's just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, Like there's just this very American way.
Speaker 1: It just like, let's just focus on the things that
Speaker 1: are still running and not the all the other things
Speaker 1: that are very rapidly unraveling. And like, you know, whether
Speaker 1: or not we're we have such a transparent crisis of
Speaker 1: policing that it's like, I don't know, like, let's here's
Speaker 1: some articles on tasers and if like how what is
Speaker 1: the weight difference? Like what the fuck? Okay, because you
Speaker 1: don't want to do you don't want to look the
Speaker 1: ugly part in it's I can talk about that. M hmm. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk about that ship. And we're back, and we've
Speaker 1: been and talking about how the post pandemic, post lockdown
Speaker 1: world is gonna deal with the fact that there are
Speaker 1: people who are getting vaccinated like good citizens, and then
Speaker 1: they're the people who don't believe in science or vaccines,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're protesting the fact that they had
Speaker 1: to wear a mask inside of grocery stores the whole time,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be hard to tell apart when the
Speaker 1: world opens back up. One solution was just people having
Speaker 1: their vaccine passports that they get when they get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: But a Daily Beast article is showing the limits to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, overall, I think we've always just talked
Speaker 1: about how sticky of a situation it is, whether it's
Speaker 1: like the equitable distribution of these passes, and how easy
Speaker 1: it is for someone to verify that they have been
Speaker 1: vaccinated or even get a vaccination, and then the civil
Speaker 1: liberties complications is like also, you're like, this is this
Speaker 1: is this could be a slippery slope if not done
Speaker 1: right to the point where I think it's had received
Speaker 1: criticism from like nearly every end of the political spectrum.
Speaker 1: But I think the one thing now is we're seeing
Speaker 1: is that none of that really really matters. If the
Speaker 1: past itself is so fucking jankie, you can just off this.
Speaker 1: Shear will be like, all right, I'm gonna cook my
Speaker 1: own up. And yes, this Daily Beast reporter. Without getting
Speaker 1: into the details, they're just saying that they sort of
Speaker 1: started this article of saying like I was going to
Speaker 1: spend Easter Sunday, my entire Easter Sunday, trying to figure
Speaker 1: out if I wanted to get a fake what they
Speaker 1: call the Excelsior Pass in the state of New York,
Speaker 1: how I could go about doing that. And this is
Speaker 1: just the like first paragraph in the articles is going quote.
Speaker 1: After getting consent from an Excelsior Pass user, I tried
Speaker 1: to download their pass, logging into their account using nothing
Speaker 1: more than public information from social media. Eleven minutes after
Speaker 1: he gave me the green light, I had a copy
Speaker 1: of his blue Excelsior Pass in hand, valid for use
Speaker 1: until September. Where there's a will, there's a way, baby,
Speaker 1: we all have to hack and the account is basically
Speaker 1: what they found. I feel just like, you just need
Speaker 1: the homie who's got an account, who was able to
Speaker 1: get it, You get the log in info, whatever other
Speaker 1: I mean. I think this person was trying to do
Speaker 1: it as like the hardest way possible, rather like just
Speaker 1: give me all your info, let me log in, being like, okay,
Speaker 1: what could I do if I know this person's vaccinated
Speaker 1: and glean some things off the internet to then create
Speaker 1: a past for themselves or at least log in as
Speaker 1: that person. Yeah, but I'm sure that if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then there will be people that treat it like Netflix
Speaker 1: and just here there info with everyone that they don't
Speaker 1: want to get vaccinated. Yeah, which makes the whole situation
Speaker 1: more complicated. It's like, what's the point because you don't
Speaker 1: rely on a thing that's vital to like, you know,
Speaker 1: this reopening plan or how to sort of reintroduce like
Speaker 1: full openings of places when you don't even have a
Speaker 1: system that's even reliable, Like that's just then you might
Speaker 1: just don't even have one, Like there's really really no
Speaker 1: point to even have one if it can be easily
Speaker 1: duped like that. Meanwhile, the Lakers are opening back up.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be fans at Lakers games than like two
Speaker 1: thousand right today technically for whenever this comes out, So
Speaker 1: it's all happening. Yeah, And I don't know what that
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's that that will be the next phase
Speaker 1: of you know, pandemic stories, which is like they thought
Speaker 1: they were safe and vaccinated until like whatever the funk
Speaker 1: happened because there was no way to ensure anybody, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, which will then cause more hesitancy with
Speaker 1: vaccinations and everyone has access to the internet now, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I think. Yeah, the only thing you can really
Speaker 1: do is just ensure your own safety. Just know that,
Speaker 1: like people you're around are on the same page, because
Speaker 1: yet it's it's not like there's a real clear methodology
Speaker 1: on how to do this a proper way aside from
Speaker 1: age just getting people on the same page in terms
Speaker 1: of being like, yes, vaccinations are going to be our
Speaker 1: way forward out of this. Yeah. Yeah, And I just
Speaker 1: want to say, for like especially any listeners who can
Speaker 1: get vaccinated, they really should because in Japan they just
Speaker 1: started vaccinations on Tuesday only. Yeah, and it's only been
Speaker 1: like a few thousand elderly and there's already been reports
Speaker 1: that when people miss their appointments, instead of giving the
Speaker 1: vaccine to someone waiting in line hoping to get it,
Speaker 1: they throw it away. Um. So yeah, it's great, great,
Speaker 1: it's very very Japanese and not Japanese at the same time. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. It's the Battle of Mota Na. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like really yeah, you really for people to what daina is, like, oh,
Speaker 1: what a waste? Like shouldn't be wasteful, like like that,
Speaker 1: and Shogona is just like this sort of nihilistic like well,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do about it? Very big forces
Speaker 1: pooing where you could either suddenly be like oh, Dina
Speaker 1: and huh like what a waste or just be like nah,
Speaker 1: like what are you gonna do? So on one end,
Speaker 1: do you see like yeah, like I see it in
Speaker 1: my mom, who fucking reuse things infinitely in ways I
Speaker 1: have never seen possible because by night stitch like, you
Speaker 1: can't just throw something away like this is this is
Speaker 1: a plastic thing with a shape that I can then
Speaker 1: use for something. I'm like, Mom, you can recycle that ship.
Speaker 1: She's like no, yeah, oh yeah, inside out baby, yeah,
Speaker 1: hang them outside drip drive. I love it exactly. So
Speaker 1: let's move on to just the heart of darkness that
Speaker 1: I have to think is probably unparalleled in other countries
Speaker 1: that is happening within the conservative movement in the United States,
Speaker 1: and that is these anti trans children bills that are
Speaker 1: being rolled out very tactically across different states that are
Speaker 1: basically redefining child abuse to include, like in the legal definition,
Speaker 1: to include the most like healthy thing that apparent of
Speaker 1: a trans child can do for that child. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: normally in Texas, this bill s B sixteen for whatever,
Speaker 1: s B six six six whatever, um. The normally yes
Speaker 1: child abuses defind like physical, emotional, sexual abuse, etcetera. But
Speaker 1: now they're adding the language quote administering or supplying or
Speaker 1: consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of
Speaker 1: puberty suppressions, prescription drug or a cross sex horn mown
Speaker 1: to a child other than an intersex child. Oh, they
Speaker 1: acknowledge intersex children for the purpose of gender transitioning or
Speaker 1: gender reassignment, or performing or consenting to the performance of
Speaker 1: surgery or another medical procedure on a child. So essentially, yes,
Speaker 1: the thing that all medical experts are saying, gender affirming
Speaker 1: medical procedures are the things that help keep these kids
Speaker 1: away from high rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation. That's
Speaker 1: rampant for trans youth and adults too, because it's a
Speaker 1: it's a part of who you are. And so what
Speaker 1: there's to say that now this ship that Again, a
Speaker 1: study published in Pediatrics found the earlier transgender youth get care,
Speaker 1: the less likely they are to suffer from depression and
Speaker 1: suicidal thoughts. That's nailed on. That's a fact from the
Speaker 1: medical community. But you are saying that now it's abuse
Speaker 1: to do the thing that wouldn't that would actually keep
Speaker 1: them safe. No, it's absurd. And I think this is
Speaker 1: the tactical part comes in this other section, which is
Speaker 1: there's also a bill as B one three one one
Speaker 1: in Texas that is only a few degrees less evil,
Speaker 1: but still evil because it only bans doctors from performing
Speaker 1: these procedures. See, oh, nicey, this is all like, this
Speaker 1: is all by design, and a lot of activists and
Speaker 1: any people working in politics have seen this time and
Speaker 1: time again for many things. Put the fucked up bill
Speaker 1: out first and get like, oh my god, can't believe
Speaker 1: they're doing this. And then you'll be like, oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: here's it's just doctors will be arrested or lose their
Speaker 1: license to practice if they are the ones helping these children.
Speaker 1: Isn't that better? That's better? And now people like, well
Speaker 1: see this this overton windows shifting bullshit that they do.
Speaker 1: And again, like many people quick to point out, that's
Speaker 1: how that's that's called a slow motion genocide because you
Speaker 1: start doing this thing, but oh no, no, we weren't
Speaker 1: going to do that. What about just the doctors are
Speaker 1: they they're punished, and then it's going to turn into well,
Speaker 1: at least the camps we put these people in have Netflix. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now that's what that's what we're gonna be because
Speaker 1: we're allowing the discourse to move there. And I think
Speaker 1: more people, especially politicians, need to be unequivocal in calling
Speaker 1: this ship out for it's a nonsense, transphobic, it's genocidal legislation. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean the mention of intersext is only because, like
Speaker 1: you know, if a child is considered not male and
Speaker 1: not female, like we got to put them in one
Speaker 1: of those categories right away. That's the only reason why
Speaker 1: they're included. But it's just like so absurd. I saw
Speaker 1: that there was the quote from Jill Glover was saying
Speaker 1: that the six was it six or six bill gives
Speaker 1: children a chance to get to adulthood with intact bodies,
Speaker 1: Like we're not cutting up kids, Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're imagining. And like the main thing that they're
Speaker 1: talking about here is like puberty blockers, because children don't
Speaker 1: want to go through that first puberty that they're assigned
Speaker 1: sex like dictates, you know, so it's just it's just
Speaker 1: really really absurd, and it's so frustrating because I know
Speaker 1: so many people who would have if they had that chance,
Speaker 1: They would have been so much happier if they didn't
Speaker 1: even get that like the I guess some people even
Speaker 1: go as far as saying it's like a poisoning, but
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, those hormones, they don't want them,
Speaker 1: and you know they can stop puberty blockers anytime if
Speaker 1: they change their minds and then go through that puberty.
Speaker 1: It's just so I mean, of course there's no reason
Speaker 1: to it, but it's just so disgusting. It's just to
Speaker 1: be able to because this is part of the love
Speaker 1: of conservative ideologies, like, let's who's the weakest group we
Speaker 1: can funk with right now? It's different than cis head
Speaker 1: Christian white people. So if you're not that okay, well damn.
Speaker 1: I guess too many people have rallied around people of color,
Speaker 1: not wide enough to really start abolishing police, but enough
Speaker 1: that they're like, well, let's focus on this other group
Speaker 1: that we can then brutalizing just sort of help assert
Speaker 1: our fucking full sense of superiority over it's all bullshit,
Speaker 1: And again all of these bills. It's in thirty three states. Now,
Speaker 1: Arkansas had the same one where the governor's like I vetoted,
Speaker 1: but it got over it was overridden, so it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: But at the same thing was like, no, it's just
Speaker 1: banning doctors from doing it, Like we're just this is
Speaker 1: a thing that we were solving. Again, this is a
Speaker 1: there's not a problem that it is solving in any situation.
Speaker 1: They can't point to it. Even with the sports bills
Speaker 1: about trying to keep trans kids from competing in like
Speaker 1: scholastic sports, it's not there's not a problem, right, there's
Speaker 1: not a problem. Ever, there will not be a problem
Speaker 1: because you're just making ship up. I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: much the media is going to begin to actually look
Speaker 1: at this in a sober ride way and be like
Speaker 1: this is all the most like horror, fake, violently transphobic
Speaker 1: legislation you could imagine, and it's just happening out there.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna keep debating like well, what you know,
Speaker 1: what what does it mean to be trans in sports
Speaker 1: or whatever? Like you're missing the point with these other
Speaker 1: You're going straight for the throat of these big It's like,
Speaker 1: come on, now, checking the weight difference between this bill
Speaker 1: and the other bill, Like it's it's like those articles
Speaker 1: tricking the being like how how different is a taser
Speaker 1: from the handgun? It's yeah, I know, I know a
Speaker 1: family that has a young kid who is trans and
Speaker 1: you know, they talk about it on social media and
Speaker 1: the number of people like I feel like this bill
Speaker 1: is for the conservatives who like go trolling to like
Speaker 1: because people do like just say the most vile ship
Speaker 1: to their family, and it's it's for that. It's like people,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's so proactively like judgmental and uh
Speaker 1: like anti Christian values, like in any conceivable way that
Speaker 1: I can can possibly imagine. It's it's just wild. That's
Speaker 1: where this movement has gone. I feel like it's gonna
Speaker 1: take a lot to uh in history books to be like,
Speaker 1: so wait, but these were supposed to be the people
Speaker 1: who are Christian people, but like they're everything they're doing
Speaker 1: is the opposite of that. They're like, oh, Christianity that
Speaker 1: dead religion, right right right? Well they're like, I know
Speaker 1: people who still believe in Christianity. Yeah, no, for sure,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna they're gonna need a whole the whole
Speaker 1: chapter just explaining the I mean not only that, how
Speaker 1: we're just the societal tone is like only a minority
Speaker 1: of people are like, uh oh, what the funk is this? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because even the people who unfortunate people who are gonna
Speaker 1: end up writing those history books, they're in the same
Speaker 1: fucking crowd right now, being like, I don't know, that's
Speaker 1: not me, it's not affecting me, Like I don't think
Speaker 1: it's that bad, right, anyone die yet, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it when someone dies. That is very hopeful.
Speaker 1: That is very hopeful that that's what history books say.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a another quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back and all right. So
Speaker 1: in pop culture news, Colton Underwood, who is formerly The Bachelor,
Speaker 1: has come out as gay on Good Morning America, which
Speaker 1: has like started a bunch of conversations. One detail of
Speaker 1: his interview that kind of struck me is potentially harmful
Speaker 1: if taken in the wrong way, was he was He
Speaker 1: said that like he knew he was more emotional than
Speaker 1: the other boys in his class in like at a
Speaker 1: young age, which like just I don't know, ties ties
Speaker 1: into a version of like toxic masculinity, where like you
Speaker 1: can't be you can't feel your feelings. If I think
Speaker 1: it shows how much he's how much he's internalized that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even in describing who he is, he's using the vernacular
Speaker 1: of toxic masculine. I was the more emotional little yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just as a like emotional kid who
Speaker 1: then like felt like I had to sculpt all feelings
Speaker 1: into either anger or like competition because I was boy.
Speaker 1: I just I think that's so deeply ingrained and like
Speaker 1: easy to to miss, and it just you know, Fox
Speaker 1: people up for life and he's trying to do you know,
Speaker 1: a very healthy, healthy thing for him, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there was to you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know healthy. I was like
Speaker 1: a little well you know, do you because I'll do me.
Speaker 1: But I would definitely looked that. I looked at that
Speaker 1: headline a certain way. When it's like as part of
Speaker 1: a Netflix series, I'm like, you already sold the rights,
Speaker 1: you know what. That's what capitalism d to you, though,
Speaker 1: you know you gotta be like fuck it, I gotta
Speaker 1: co modify me coming out because like that's what this
Speaker 1: this the culture I'm in right now. Yeah, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know much about this. Um, I can't watch Bachelor.
Speaker 1: I can't watch American Bachelor, but we got we got
Speaker 1: some links for you, you you know what. I do watch
Speaker 1: Bachelor Japan actually, but it's Japan. Like oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: I feel is a really well because kissing is so
Speaker 1: rare and so yeah, but I'm watching it's but it's
Speaker 1: slow key. It's still very entertaining. It's really fascinating. But
Speaker 1: the one that I'm watching and watching season three. There
Speaker 1: are there's three seasons of Bachelor in one season, A
Speaker 1: Bachelorette and Bachelor. Season three has been very interesting because
Speaker 1: this bachelor, Shenya is um he partially grew up in France,
Speaker 1: so he's got like more Western ideals and stuff, and
Speaker 1: like he's like legit, like he speaks fluent French and
Speaker 1: like they showed his host family and stuff. He was
Speaker 1: like going there every summer or something. But yeah, like
Speaker 1: he he's been doing a lot of cheek kissing and
Speaker 1: that was like, oh my god, and like other girls
Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, he's kissing everybody. What's going on.
Speaker 1: It's very funny, it's very funny what is scandalous on
Speaker 1: Batchelor of Japan. But that being said, for this guy,
Speaker 1: Like immediately what I saw was, you know, people pointing
Speaker 1: out that he's had like restraining orders on him with
Speaker 1: past girlfriends and like all these other things, and it
Speaker 1: just feels like, you know, we they're definitely better gay
Speaker 1: people to have a show about this kind of thing,
Speaker 1: you know. I just like, yeah, yeah, I just think
Speaker 1: I saw something. I think it was from She Reased Docks,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember. Yeah, but they She Reached Stocks.
Speaker 1: Podcast also talks about Bachelor a little bit, so they
Speaker 1: should get into those kinds of things. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: like a lot of you know, like he he was
Speaker 1: not a good boyfriend. Not that I'm surprised, but wow,
Speaker 1: he put a tracking device on this woman's car. Yeah, ship,
Speaker 1: that's that's too much. Wow. Hey they got that Netflix
Speaker 1: special thought the incors dried on that ship. That's how
Speaker 1: quick this ship moves. It's the one thing I one
Speaker 1: clip I saw it was so funny though, was Billy
Speaker 1: Eichner was on his season and he was like, Colton,
Speaker 1: you might be the first gay Bachelor ever. And this
Speaker 1: moment where yeah, on the show at the time when
Speaker 1: he is on it and Chris Harrison sitting next to him,
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, you're like, whoa, okay, all right, Billy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he wouldn't know. He's he's very good at that.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, I I know. Robert Roberts
Speaker 1: in the interview was like, what do you say to
Speaker 1: the women who you like misled? And but that this
Speaker 1: that's a weird question that still what do you say
Speaker 1: to the women you misled? Yeah, I don't know. What
Speaker 1: do you say to yourself who was so tormented that
Speaker 1: they hid who they were? Yeah? And I get and
Speaker 1: I understand that there are stakes for other people in relationships,
Speaker 1: but I don't think being like what about your guilt
Speaker 1: that for other people outside of it, versus like I
Speaker 1: don't I don't like that duplicity ship. Yeah, exactly. It's
Speaker 1: just very Yeah, I think, um yeah, I just like
Speaker 1: it's so weird like that. I mean, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a thing that I've seen from straight women
Speaker 1: where it's like, wait, if the guy is gay, that,
Speaker 1: how is that? It's like this immediately it's about their feelings,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just that's definitely a thing some other
Speaker 1: than you forget about. But yeah, just uh yeah, just
Speaker 1: it's not that's not a very appropriate question. They're definitely
Speaker 1: better question, better ways to phrase that. I would say, definitely. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk fast nine. I think we've all
Speaker 1: been chomping at the bit. Uh. Did you guys watch
Speaker 1: this trailer at all? Yes? I saw. I saw. I
Speaker 1: saw half of it in on mute as I was
Speaker 1: scrolling Twitter, and I saw a thing that looked like
Speaker 1: a rocket ship flying at an airplane and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can't look at this anymore. What then is going
Speaker 1: on here? Did I see that correctly? Was there a
Speaker 1: flying rocket car? So the card fires out of a
Speaker 1: window I believe at one point, and then a jet
Speaker 1: comes down I think in scoops it or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all. There's the whole thing about magnets. That's like
Speaker 1: the big that's new. That's I'm not gonna lie. The
Speaker 1: magnets got me fucking pumped. Uh oh yeah, because that
Speaker 1: saw the thing where all this debris was like a
Speaker 1: car was going down the stream was pulling all these
Speaker 1: debris out of shopping and ship. Yeah, they know, look
Speaker 1: they know, they know what they're doing. Like that was
Speaker 1: good for although I feel bad I was so funked
Speaker 1: up on edibles during Fast eight. I felt I felt
Speaker 1: I was asleep through that whole zombie car scene. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I haven't really loved the last couple because it felt
Speaker 1: like they were all built around these big set pieces
Speaker 1: where it was you know, the big plane or the
Speaker 1: submarine or you know, and like that's that was the
Speaker 1: the additional like element that they brought, whereas this feels
Speaker 1: like more of a return to Fast five where it's
Speaker 1: just like the big thing and that was that the
Speaker 1: cars had to tow around like a giant block of
Speaker 1: metal at one point, like for a robbery, and like
Speaker 1: this time they've got like magnets, which is that's like
Speaker 1: the sort of simplistic, silly, fun kind of addition that
Speaker 1: just plays with the physics of the universe right without
Speaker 1: without like going being like now they're chasing each other
Speaker 1: around the International Space Station on cars and the rock
Speaker 1: has gone and they brought in John Cena, which is fun.
Speaker 1: Anytime they can you know, take the rock down a
Speaker 1: peg in the then versus the Rock battle, I'm for it,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, because the rock is all toxic masculinity and
Speaker 1: vin is Hey, hey, hey, that's our fucking future president. Man,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on the list. You'll be on a list.
Speaker 1: You'll be on You'll be a males acting like females
Speaker 1: list under President the Rock Johnson's direction. You know that
Speaker 1: motherfucker running. I'm scared as buck for that. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know, maybe well Miles probably
Speaker 1: knows about the Japanese titles for Fast Years because they're
Speaker 1: completely different. Yeah, that's like the first thing I did
Speaker 1: was like, go to see what was the Japanese title
Speaker 1: for this movie? So, yeah, what is it? So, Jack,
Speaker 1: do you know the Japanese title for Fast and the Furious.
Speaker 1: So it's the base title is Wild Speed. Um. So
Speaker 1: it's like Wild Speed times two, Wild Speed times three,
Speaker 1: Tokyo Drift Max Mega Max. Um. Then even the Hobbs
Speaker 1: and Shaw one was Wild Speed super Combo. So um,
Speaker 1: this one is a Wild Speed jets break jet break, yeah,
Speaker 1: because the last one was ice break. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: s break, but I was like, why are you using
Speaker 1: break again? But okay, yeah, jet break a phrase. I
Speaker 1: don't I think it's like breaking something with the jet
Speaker 1: I guess it would be if we're gonna do like
Speaker 1: because jet like it could also be break like break out.
Speaker 1: There's it's, you know, one of those things that just
Speaker 1: gets like, like ice break makes sense because we have
Speaker 1: like the phrase ice breaker. But no, but just because
Speaker 1: that's scene on ice though, remember they had all those Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that was the submarine scene. But the thing is, the
Speaker 1: Japanese people don't know the phrase icebreak. They don't know
Speaker 1: that they like anything. It's called katakanagle, which means English
Speaker 1: and Katakana, which is enough to be like, oh ship,
Speaker 1: why do those feedle ice break? And you're like, he said,
Speaker 1: I break like that meant some ship. But my favorite.
Speaker 1: It's funny though, to be how the titles are different
Speaker 1: because you know, for people who who funk with the
Speaker 1: video games, the Resident Evil franchise is called bio Hazard
Speaker 1: in Japan and the the bio Hazard there like in
Speaker 1: the most recent one it was called Resident Evil seven
Speaker 1: bio Hazard in the US, and then in Japan is
Speaker 1: called bio Hazard seven Resident Evil Japan Premier image. Look,
Speaker 1: we got our own titles and ship like that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: the the Japanese, the Japanese sification of American film titles
Speaker 1: is like it could probably be a like a coffee
Speaker 1: table book. I that's like something I love to like
Speaker 1: look at all the time. My favorite actually is, uh,
Speaker 1: like people like changing the titles of American movies to
Speaker 1: sound like another franchise that they can't legally do in
Speaker 1: the US. So, like, for example, the American Pie movies,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of like pseudo American Pie like
Speaker 1: titles put on other teen movies that have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with American Pie to try to like work with
Speaker 1: that brand. The most interesting of which is I actually
Speaker 1: discovered this because of the movie She's the Man with
Speaker 1: Amanda Vines. The Japanese title for that one is American
Speaker 1: Peach Pie. Interesting, it's just completely different. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like that whole world, I guess, I mean, and you know,
Speaker 1: there are some things that go the other way as well,
Speaker 1: like it comes to like Japanese movies and other other
Speaker 1: countries movies into the US. Sometimes the titles change and stuff.
Speaker 1: But one I was wondering about is A Detective Chinatown.
Speaker 1: Is that the name of that movie in China? Because
Speaker 1: it just seems like a real like racist, like dismissive
Speaker 1: way of describing a cop movie like from China is like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what detective and then the place where
Speaker 1: I've seen Chinese people before, I would say probably not right.
Speaker 1: There's there's also the thing that's like it's always like
Speaker 1: you know, to begin with it, like meaning we are
Speaker 1: like semi pro I remember is called the Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: basketball movie. Semi Pro is called Dunk shoot Up, which
Speaker 1: means we like dunk is the lamest way to say
Speaker 1: slam dunk to dun dunk shoot. They might not legally
Speaker 1: even be able to do that because there's the there's
Speaker 1: a series Slam Dunk. It's like the comic and the
Speaker 1: anime right right because of it. Yep, I have my
Speaker 1: show hok Jersey somewhere, but like, yeah that one just
Speaker 1: go we are dunk shooter. And I think like there's
Speaker 1: a so many are like the even Goon is like
Speaker 1: like something skater. It's like there's always this weird way
Speaker 1: of saying it's like we are this thing too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting you just reference to underrated sports movies semi
Speaker 1: pro and uh, goon is fucking underrated. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's good. My stiffler is a stiffler okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the president give it a apple pie, some
Speaker 1: sort of pie toothpie. You know, they don't. They can't
Speaker 1: usually do that with like same actors. I think the
Speaker 1: only exception might be Legally Blonde and Hot Pursuit Legally there,
Speaker 1: so legally Blonde is called cutei blonde in Japanese because
Speaker 1: they don't get the joke right, and then hot Pursuit,
Speaker 1: which is that like I don't think anyone watched the movie,
Speaker 1: but with a spoon is a like a cop or
Speaker 1: a bounty hunter or something I don't remember. And so
Speaker 1: if you have regards like a fugitive or something anyway,
Speaker 1: that's called cuteie copy. I mean, I can't argue with it, right,
Speaker 1: m hmm. Yeah, It's just it's it's interesting. It's a
Speaker 1: very different vibe. I think. Also was called Mighty Thor
Speaker 1: Battle Royal. Yeah yeah, hell yeah, yeah all the I
Speaker 1: think it's because thor bites of it was like soul,
Speaker 1: so it's one line. Yeah, so they have to call
Speaker 1: it Mighty Thor in Japanese. Yeah uh. And then I
Speaker 1: was just like I'm looking at this listical down the
Speaker 1: Nights Tale is called rock you oh, hell yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean that is the notable thing of that of
Speaker 1: that show, of that movie is that they did like
Speaker 1: a rock soundtrack. Yeah, it wasn't like the trailer. I
Speaker 1: think maybe the trailer did have that you look, just
Speaker 1: a little bit of exchange. But yes, goon I was
Speaker 1: and it has like a little bit of Puccini touring
Speaker 1: dot in there, you know from my classical music has
Speaker 1: is a great use of that song from the opera.
Speaker 1: I see. I will have to check that out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, uh, and let's talk about White Claw. They
Speaker 1: have introduced their eight percent line of Surge, which are
Speaker 1: larger cans that have eight percent alcohol by volume as
Speaker 1: opposed to the five percent of a normal white Claw.
Speaker 1: The surge, Yeah, so it's not there does not appear
Speaker 1: to be any caffeine content surge related thing goes weird,
Speaker 1: Like surge feels like a like an odd way to
Speaker 1: get someone who's like being like I need a higher
Speaker 1: alcohol like a b V drink to be like it's
Speaker 1: the surge. I will remember the Iraq War surge. Pick
Speaker 1: some of different words. Yeah, it should be like white
Speaker 1: Claw turn up. No, actually, don't do that because some
Speaker 1: idiotic marketing persone because hey, we've got i mean turned up.
Speaker 1: We'll see where this goes from here, because obviously it
Speaker 1: seems like white Clad does the thing, and then literally
Speaker 1: every beer manufacturing company like has to do the exact
Speaker 1: same thing. So in beer, the higher alcohol per volume
Speaker 1: is uh ice right like natty ice and but right right.
Speaker 1: So but at that point, you just that's just a
Speaker 1: way for people to avoid admitting you're like you're just
Speaker 1: doing a malt liquor bro Well, so that's what this
Speaker 1: jam kind of put together some research on. Like I
Speaker 1: think people assume white Cloth is like literally a seltzer
Speaker 1: with vodka in it, like with distilled spirits in it,
Speaker 1: but it is actually just malt liquor. Like it's the
Speaker 1: same as it's because and the reason they do that
Speaker 1: is because it would cost way more in taxes, Like
Speaker 1: distilled spirits are tax at a much higher rate than
Speaker 1: fermented spirits are, and so like even though a lot
Speaker 1: of people think it's made from vodka, it's a flavored
Speaker 1: malt beverage. Just like Cult forty five. They just you know,
Speaker 1: took all the taste out of it and made it clear. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it is? It? I was gonna says it made
Speaker 1: it out there, I know, smearing off ice. It seems
Speaker 1: like the most western of the sort of jokey drinks
Speaker 1: that is there, aside for our beloved can Chew High. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, too high is definitely the thing.
Speaker 1: So I don't think. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: while before something like actually replaced. They can't white cloth
Speaker 1: could never break a part of a love affair of
Speaker 1: the Japanese people. How it can't you high? That's just
Speaker 1: too high? Has been the flavored not like, you know,
Speaker 1: a little alcohol, but a lot of sugar, and it's
Speaker 1: easy to drink type drink for a minute. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, like there will have to be a huge shift. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, definitely m yeah, So I have
Speaker 1: no idea what white cloth tastes like, and um, I
Speaker 1: have it tastes like shitty. Can't you high? Okay? Because
Speaker 1: when I had it, I was like, man, y'all need
Speaker 1: to get on that chew high life. You know, that's
Speaker 1: a show chew high ball, okay for people who don't
Speaker 1: know it's seltzer. So it's it's got to be like
Speaker 1: a little a little bit different, right, right, it's not
Speaker 1: sweet okay, yeah, but then they have but then they
Speaker 1: have the sweet ones too. That's like truly with lemonade.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, yeah, that's just a Mike's Hard. Do
Speaker 1: you like do all this other naming ship? I missed
Speaker 1: Mike's Hard? Actually? Oh really? Oh they don't have that,
Speaker 1: you know? Well, I'm not sure. I've never seen it,
Speaker 1: but I also like never drink, so right, you're not
Speaker 1: looking for it either, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, next time you're
Speaker 1: at the comb kni, just look at that bottom row
Speaker 1: where all the weird obscure malt drinks are in the
Speaker 1: drink case. I'll let y'all know because um, yeah, I
Speaker 1: let me see. I think I drink only for my
Speaker 1: in law's family barbecue and the Christmas party, so like
Speaker 1: twice a year. Yeah that sounds like a family barbecue.
Speaker 1: Then oh yeah. My sister in law is goodness, twelve
Speaker 1: years older than me, and she can really handle her alcohol.
Speaker 1: She's Adorableeah. Um, does White Cloud get like, do you
Speaker 1: get a vodka hangover like a beer hangover? Because like,
Speaker 1: I can't tell the difference anymore. I was very discerning
Speaker 1: in my hangovers as my drinking and whiskey is whiskey
Speaker 1: is the one I always know. Yeah, it's bad just
Speaker 1: because I think for the amount of work your liver
Speaker 1: has to do because of it being a brown spirit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, um, I mean I've never been like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm getting fucked up off white Claw today. This is
Speaker 1: too much. The volume of liquid is too much, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to pee all the time. It's nice
Speaker 1: to like get stealth drunk out of little baby's birthday,
Speaker 1: you know, and you're like just crushing it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's I think. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, like the wave
Speaker 1: of White Claw and all these Seltzers rolled in long
Speaker 1: was just basically being like, hey, we know you drink
Speaker 1: fucking Lacroix right with booze. So I don't know, is
Speaker 1: the next really iteration people really clamoring for more less
Speaker 1: socially acceptable white right because it feels like white cloth
Speaker 1: had an innocence, Like it's like a Seltzer. It's got
Speaker 1: a little bit of booze in it. But we'll drink
Speaker 1: forty of them and then we'll act like we're not
Speaker 1: you know, having we're not struggling right now. Very interesting.
Speaker 1: I just learned that there are different kinds of hangovers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: try him out do some a B testing. I never
Speaker 1: had a hangover for you, even though in college I
Speaker 1: definitely had some fun times but never ended in hangover.
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna have college. It's hard to like
Speaker 1: at the times I had hangovers or essentially like I
Speaker 1: didn't go to the hospital and I probably should have, yes,
Speaker 1: like me fully, like multiple times when I was definitely
Speaker 1: suffering from like a hospitalizable alcohol poisoning. Yeah, because you
Speaker 1: don't at that age, like you're like half of it
Speaker 1: is like, especially when you get towards you're about to
Speaker 1: end college, is the panic that you're even academia and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to enter like the real world. And
Speaker 1: then also like the chaos of college and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out your life and ship that dude, that nihilistic
Speaker 1: engine for that kind of drinking. That truly is like
Speaker 1: how you how I would end up like that because
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't give him fun. Then you
Speaker 1: then you learn to give a fuck, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Then you get begin to take care of yourself.
Speaker 1: But that's when I got into wild speed to do
Speaker 1: a throwback there. We'll leave it at that ship. Yeah
Speaker 1: bad times. Well, I you mean it has been such
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on daily ze guist. Where can
Speaker 1: people find you and follow you? Thank you so much

Speaker 1: the time there's actually drops and I'll have an in
Speaker 1: print shop as well. But I also do commissions, um,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of like my main thing right now,
Speaker 1: because my part time job is more part time than

Speaker 1: so like, I'll get a couple, I'm get a couple.
Speaker 1: Then are the ones in your pinned tweet commissions or
Speaker 1: some of those commissions The paintings are not. The paintings
