Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Weekly Zitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: So please help me, please help me introduce our guest today,
Speaker 1: the wonderful, hilarious, talented, brilliant Zara Norvox upon the mic
Speaker 1: here I come up on the mic. Hey, hey, good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning, good afternoon. And if I don't see you later,
Speaker 1: goodnight or whatever they said in Truman Show. Oh I
Speaker 1: missed the nineties. Yeah, you'll watch the nineties movie lately
Speaker 1: it's different. Yeah, it hits weird. It's that why recently
Speaker 1: I watched a volcano? Is that what Tommy Lee Jones?
Speaker 1: And they have to they have to blow up the
Speaker 1: Beverly Center to reroute the magma off a La Cianna. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was fantastic and so accurate. If we're gonna keep
Speaker 1: suggesting nineties movies with volcanoes, uh, is it George versus
Speaker 1: a Volcano, Joe versus the Volcano, Joe versus Volcano. Listen,
Speaker 1: it's the loudest movie you will ever watch somehow it
Speaker 1: is um irreverent, It breaks all the rules of logic,
Speaker 1: and yet you're still like, damn it, that's such a
Speaker 1: cute little movie. I love it. Check out all the
Speaker 1: Volcano movies from the nineties. We're talking Abotante's Peak. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's purest Brosnan, Yes, Linda Hamilton's Yeah, damn that's a
Speaker 1: good fucking that's a peak Peak pack cast. But I
Speaker 1: feel like there was a thing where I remember scientists
Speaker 1: or debating if Dante's Peak or Volcano was the better one,
Speaker 1: and there's saying, well, because they are saying that, like
Speaker 1: at the LaBrea tar Pits, by virtue of that, I
Speaker 1: will have to give the edge to volcano. That's why
Speaker 1: didn't or maybe that was something to volcano. Uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, to uh to Vulcan too furious Volcano, I
Speaker 1: don't know, says volcano Fire on the Mountain. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if that's like a more full title for
Speaker 1: the original or a follow up sequel. Oh that has
Speaker 1: to be is it, Tommy Lee Jones? Because if it isn't,
Speaker 1: you know that's from them, Jankie. They're like, hey, we
Speaker 1: still own the I p so we can technically use it.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad that I missed the six minute rant
Speaker 1: on missing movie theaters because you know what else I
Speaker 1: miss about the trickle down of movie theaters in our
Speaker 1: lives is to divorce like seeing reviews. Remember reviews are
Speaker 1: like flash across the screen and be like oh, and
Speaker 1: then if you did a parody, they'd say a tour
Speaker 1: to farce of epic proportions, like I am seeing Hot Sharks.
Speaker 1: Part I guess is that that deep voice narrator describing
Speaker 1: everything else that far away Oh God, that guy got
Speaker 1: you amped for a movie and now he's gone get
Speaker 1: that man his job back. That guy like he does
Speaker 1: like drops for the radio though too, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, but who's listening to the radio? The
Speaker 1: children listen to, you know, YouTubers and podcast like in
Speaker 1: Bodego Boys, they got the one of the announcer guys
Speaker 1: to say, you know, the most dangerous podcast in the
Speaker 1: universe drop Like is that I think one of those
Speaker 1: o G announcer guys. So anyway, you know what the
Speaker 1: daily is like, guys needs a trailer, like a like
Speaker 1: a we have had done our part, like a proper
Speaker 1: thriller trailer We're a diffuse group, you know, like we
Speaker 1: can't you know when you do that. We're just a movement,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a bowel movement, if you
Speaker 1: will podcast for portions. Zara, How is everything? How are
Speaker 1: you doing with new How you living? You are? Oh wow?
Speaker 1: So let's see in the last month, I almost died. No, yeah, hi,
Speaker 1: if I can ask, so sorry to hear that I
Speaker 1: had to have Thank you me who I had. You
Speaker 1: know when sometimes you surprise yourself and it's like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: who is to life? What about that? I had? Fomo
Speaker 1: Ultimate Fomo mortality, the Ultimate Fomo great movie exactly, unless
Speaker 1: you believe in reincarnation, in which case, you know, fucking
Speaker 1: your infinity come back as a mushroom you assessing nuclear way?
Speaker 1: So good, I'm good. I had. I had to have
Speaker 1: emergency surgery on my gall bladder. That's a lot. I'm
Speaker 1: so thankful to my body and my nerves for feeling
Speaker 1: that pain and not trying to write it out because yeah,
Speaker 1: they said that if I had waited a day, I
Speaker 1: would have died. Oh my gosh, Sarah Wow. And I
Speaker 1: straight up like I had learned this trick to sort
Speaker 1: of like move gall stones out of the duct and
Speaker 1: ease the pain. And I was feeling like not that,
Speaker 1: you know, I was feeling better, and so I wondered
Speaker 1: for a second, like should I go in right? And
Speaker 1: I did, and I'm so grateful. Okay, lets me listen
Speaker 1: to all of you listenings. And unfortunately, like that's another
Speaker 1: reason why it's so important that people have health care,
Speaker 1: because there there is an entire I was on that
Speaker 1: insurance plan too called do I really gotta go though?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And that's and to hear
Speaker 1: that you were within hours of a completely opposite outcome,
Speaker 1: I think more than anything like we have that these
Speaker 1: are these are the kinds of situations in which you
Speaker 1: don't want a person to have to consider if when
Speaker 1: they feel physically ill, that they can't get help. So
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you on the other side of that.
Speaker 1: So yes, okay, well ship eventful and has that given
Speaker 1: you a renewed sense of vigor that I'm sure only
Speaker 1: something is intense like that could. Oh yeah, because they
Speaker 1: took out my gall bladder and now I can have
Speaker 1: fats again and I'm cheesing it up. Ship. Ow there
Speaker 1: we go. I'm coming through with a brick cheddar later on,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Um, well, I'm okay, so
Speaker 1: glad we got that out of the way. Glad to
Speaker 1: know you're having cheese, You're living your best life now,
Speaker 1: and your phono is gone and we can look on
Speaker 1: to bigger things. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Those mirrors that you can see like every stupid little
Speaker 1: poor on your stupid little face. I don't think that
Speaker 1: those are necessary made that oh, like the ones like
Speaker 1: it's like one mirror on one side and then you
Speaker 1: could flip it and it's like surprised. Exactly. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't like that ship it makes me. It makes me.
Speaker 1: I think it encourages another level of self like superficial
Speaker 1: analysis or yeah, I'll trying to keep it, you know,
Speaker 1: neutral for the moment, and then yes, from there, you
Speaker 1: could be like my poor so big. I might I
Speaker 1: could dump my melano cookies and my pores if I
Speaker 1: wanted to. Exactly, Yeah, my nose is an adventure. There's
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on there that I had no idea,
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, and I guess you know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: We don't get to see ourselves that close. But maybe
Speaker 1: it's for a reason. You know that mirror specifically is
Speaker 1: you know, and almost mirrors in general. But you know,
Speaker 1: some mirrors are great for decor and like magic tricks
Speaker 1: and stuff. But yes, that's the yeahs. Who look, if
Speaker 1: you're a you know, esthetician or dermatologist, do we need
Speaker 1: that much fucking zoom on the mirror? I don't. It
Speaker 1: can just I'm good enough just seeing what. Maybe they
Speaker 1: should have those. Yeah, if you if you're doing extractions
Speaker 1: or whatever and you're doing a facial, then like, ye,
Speaker 1: toss on the loop or whatever so you can get
Speaker 1: in there. But I don't, damn sure. I don't need
Speaker 1: that level of clarity on my own. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: need it. Yeah, it's for it's helpful for contouring I've found. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looks great. Yeah, but thank you. What about the blending?
Speaker 1: By the next just what about the blending? That's why
Speaker 1: I just said it doesn't It defeats a purpose if
Speaker 1: you're not blending properly. Jack, Yeah, okay, and doing a
Speaker 1: turtlenext seed that's the cheap move because we see it.
Speaker 1: It gets all over your white turtle. Next, that's the thing,
Speaker 1: my masks, you always know, it's my mask. It's just
Speaker 1: like your sacks mask, because he still thinks he's that
Speaker 1: shade of fenty that he is not. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about ketchup. Thank god, finally, am I right? Uh?
Speaker 1: We are experiencing a nationwide ketchup shortage, which you know,
Speaker 1: I felt like it was only a matter of time
Speaker 1: because there, in my opinion, there's only one good brand
Speaker 1: of ketchup, and you know that that creates a I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say a bottleneck where uh you
Speaker 1: should have tapped to the fifty seven. Then yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess America should have tapped the fifty seven. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so what why how's the pandemic causing? Uh, there's so many,
Speaker 1: like it's all the band. Okay, So, first of all,
Speaker 1: when sit down restaurants, essince you became take out restaurants,
Speaker 1: that just made individual catchup packets the go to condiment
Speaker 1: that people you were sending people off with. Second, because
Speaker 1: of the precautions even if you had some form of dining,
Speaker 1: they were saying, you know, let's avoid having shared condiment
Speaker 1: bottles on tables just to keep everything as sanitary. Spot
Speaker 1: give people packets, don't allow them to put their fork
Speaker 1: or knife or whatever and a catch up bottle and
Speaker 1: then like leave that for the next customer and to
Speaker 1: keep going. So there are other things because of this.
Speaker 1: Packet prices have gone up because the demand is so high.
Speaker 1: The demand for packets was already up by fort in
Speaker 1: July of last year, and it's only been trending upward.
Speaker 1: And a lot of restaurants have been, you know, not
Speaker 1: doing well because, like you're saying, Jack Kraft hinds is
Speaker 1: it's the best catch up we got, and um, a
Speaker 1: lot of these like this research firm was saying because
Speaker 1: of that, Heinz holds nearly seventy of the market for
Speaker 1: like the ketchup market because it's just acknowledge of that
Speaker 1: and because of its large share, that's what's sucking up
Speaker 1: like the entire condiment sort of industry when it comes
Speaker 1: to catch up, because they're the biggest one and they're
Speaker 1: now like Hinz is full on create like in an
Speaker 1: emergency mode, creating like additional manufacturing lines to help keep
Speaker 1: up with demand. Because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: what this all means is nobody likes hunts catch up, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't have that tang. So you're saying that
Speaker 1: I am sitting on a gold mine in my kitchen drawer. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is exactly what my Korean mother in law has
Speaker 1: been preparing us for for decades. The bad But this,
Speaker 1: it sounds very similar to what caused the toilet paper shortage,
Speaker 1: is that it's pretty much the same type of the
Speaker 1: same level of consumptions taking place. It's just different delivery
Speaker 1: mechanisms and the delivery uh manufacturing chains. So like the
Speaker 1: toilet paper that was in public places that were no
Speaker 1: longer open or you know, public restrooms that people are
Speaker 1: no longer using, all that toilet paper was no longer
Speaker 1: necessary and everybody needed, you know, the take home kind.
Speaker 1: And this is just basically that for catchup, you need
Speaker 1: the the take home kind and not the public consumption kind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you're a g you were out there stealing
Speaker 1: toilet paper from public restrooms, right, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: or if you're if you're you're taking handfuls at the
Speaker 1: burger stand getting ready. But it's funny because yeah, right,
Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing is that like a lot
Speaker 1: of companies have shifted to just like trying to buy it,
Speaker 1: like just boxes of it, and then putting them in
Speaker 1: small are containers to still be able to give because
Speaker 1: people a lot of these restaurants, like Garrett, there are
Speaker 1: a few interviews like bar like sports bar, tavern type
Speaker 1: places whose main you know, dishes fries and burgers, and
Speaker 1: they're like and like this one owners like there's no
Speaker 1: way I could have sent anything but Hinds out with
Speaker 1: the food, Like I just in for the years that
Speaker 1: this place has been open, it's always been Hindes, and
Speaker 1: like it was just funny. Also reading how like restauranturs
Speaker 1: are like having this ideological thing of like I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna like give people and these are some other weird
Speaker 1: ship the burger, right yeah, people are totally fine with
Speaker 1: is pepsi okay, right right man, I've come to I'm
Speaker 1: at the point now where I will just get a
Speaker 1: regular pepsi over if they asked me if diet pepsi's okay,
Speaker 1: that's how much I don't like diapepsi much worse than
Speaker 1: diet coke. I will give myself diabetes over drinking diet pepsi.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, well, look to teach their own still
Speaker 1: like caffeine free diet pepsi gold can Yeah, that's the best.
Speaker 1: I love that flavor because like I always drank that
Speaker 1: was like it's called brown water. Like she hated the
Speaker 1: fact that she had to drink it the gold can, though.
Speaker 1: It was like a flex to me. Shout out Nana McMahon.
Speaker 1: You know my friends, my homie's grandmother who always had
Speaker 1: that in the refrigerator. I'm like, Yo, this ship is popping,
Speaker 1: bro I never had in the gold can. But what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? I think even though
Speaker 1: people talk about it, they don't talk about it enough.
Speaker 1: I think the show Golden Girls, it's truly one of
Speaker 1: the greatest sitcoms in the history of television. And I think, honestly,
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like it has a special place
Speaker 1: in my heart because I always watched it with my
Speaker 1: grandma growing up, and I watched it with my mom
Speaker 1: and like, and I still watch it with my mom,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of just like one of those shows
Speaker 1: you watch if you have Like it's like a show
Speaker 1: I would watch like when the pandemic first hit and
Speaker 1: I was anxious as ship, and it's like it just
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. It's just like home cooked food,
Speaker 1: but it's really fucking funny, and it was very ahead
Speaker 1: of its time, and it only had seven seasons, but
Speaker 1: it became like a legendary show. But because it's about
Speaker 1: like four old white women, I think people now kind
Speaker 1: of like dismiss it, but if they actually gave it
Speaker 1: a chance, they say, oh, it was pretty woke for
Speaker 1: its time. Like they still you know, they still have
Speaker 1: their little like you know moments through like huh, okay,
Speaker 1: we're we're luckily as a society way past that. But like,
Speaker 1: it's a really funny show. And if you're listening out
Speaker 1: there and if you're talking about that show, shame on.
Speaker 1: You Watch the show, Watch the show, and then contact
Speaker 1: me and say thank you, Peter, because this show is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Say it to my face. If you're out there talking
Speaker 1: shit about Golden Girls, say you want to say something
Speaker 1: about it is still getty? Yeah. Uh. Mitchell Hurwitz, the
Speaker 1: creator Arrested Development, I think that was one of his
Speaker 1: first writing gigs was Golden Girls. Like there's really just
Speaker 1: an incredible pedigree in that writer's room and you can
Speaker 1: you can see it on the screen. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 1: of the for for real, Like, I definitely it was
Speaker 1: a show my grandmother would have on and I would
Speaker 1: watch it, and I always thought it was funny because
Speaker 1: I just always I loved Sophia, like just from being
Speaker 1: just like her vibe. Always that was like my favorite
Speaker 1: Golden Girl character. But I always it probably wasn't until
Speaker 1: I think I stopped watching like high school, and I
Speaker 1: never came back. But because I always had good memories
Speaker 1: when like this sort of second third wave of like
Speaker 1: Golden Girls fandom that's sort of just been on the
Speaker 1: internet pretty consistently, I've always looked at and be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking Golden Girls is the ship. But you know, like
Speaker 1: when I think of it now, most people looking at
Speaker 1: it through adult eyes. I probably need to do that
Speaker 1: again because I did as a you know, you know,
Speaker 1: a kid or younger person liked it, but yeah, give
Speaker 1: it an adult eye viewing now. Uh, you know, as
Speaker 1: a kid didn't really strike me that it was a
Speaker 1: good show. I just watched it with yeah, but it
Speaker 1: was really like just being a fan of comedy now
Speaker 1: and as adult and I looked like, like, man, these
Speaker 1: are really this is really funny. Like these characters are
Speaker 1: very well defined, they're very flawed, but you love them,
Speaker 1: and the jokes are just very good and it was
Speaker 1: ahead of its time, like really especially dealing with like
Speaker 1: for the most part, again they have their sort of
Speaker 1: blind spots, but for the most part dealing with issues
Speaker 1: of like like l G B, t Q and you know,
Speaker 1: like at the time, like immigration and like sort of
Speaker 1: like certain conservative values and stuff like that, they did
Speaker 1: a really good job I feel like for the time,
Speaker 1: just like setting good precedent sort of like social reforms
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And it's just funny as back in the
Speaker 1: days when you did sitcoms, it wasn't enough that you
Speaker 1: were funny, you did others, like you had to be
Speaker 1: a really solid performer. Um, and you know, it was
Speaker 1: really different back then. Like all of them, how or
Speaker 1: have very well defined stage careers and television careers and
Speaker 1: like are true like quote like quote thespians of the game.
Speaker 1: So it's like it really is like performance television performance
Speaker 1: at the highest level. Not to get too nerdy with
Speaker 1: this ship, but like you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: it yeah, good sitcom acting is It's difficult too because
Speaker 1: a lot of the times the writers weren't writing for
Speaker 1: the actors, like that was a script and they're like
Speaker 1: you need to turn this up, whereas like in listening
Speaker 1: to the Office Deep Dive podcast and one of the
Speaker 1: first episodes, Greg Daniels on the show runners talks about
Speaker 1: how they were for the first time different doing something
Speaker 1: different than traditional sitcom writing, where it's like they tried
Speaker 1: to know the performer and start writing the character. To Taylor,
Speaker 1: the performer, which was different for before, was like you
Speaker 1: got to pull up with your skills, And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: when this kind of sitcom acting like they truly took
Speaker 1: these good, solid writing even though it wasn't tailored to them,
Speaker 1: but having to take that and make it seem like
Speaker 1: it was, I think, yeah, it's a true an art form. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Give me Blanche Devereaux over Samantha from Sex
Speaker 1: in the City. In terms of sex positive characters from
Speaker 1: my childhood, Blanche was the ship. Oh definitely, blanch is
Speaker 1: blanch Is, Like what's great about her is like as
Speaker 1: shallow and like as she seems she's always like is
Speaker 1: the she's she aggressively defends her friends like when she
Speaker 1: has to, Like what I mean, Like, they're all really flawed,
Speaker 1: but all have very very important key aspects of their
Speaker 1: character that you fall in love with. That like you like,
Speaker 1: so it's like it's just and that's like you said,
Speaker 1: that's really from the writing and the performing and uh,
Speaker 1: you just kind of don't see that ship no more.
Speaker 1: It's just. Yeah, it's weird that like the shows that
Speaker 1: I watched as a kid, like comedy holds up better
Speaker 1: than the drama. Maybe maybe it's just because TV dramas
Speaker 1: have like progressed more, but like you know, matt Lock
Speaker 1: and Murder she wrote, and those sorts of shows that
Speaker 1: I kind of associate with Golden Girls in terms of
Speaker 1: like being on around the same time and like being
Speaker 1: shows I would watching my grandparents house and ship like
Speaker 1: the Golden Girls holds up really well, whereas, like you know,
Speaker 1: matt Lock, I kind of regret my full fullback Mattlock tattoo.
Speaker 1: Yeah well yeah yeah, but yeah back on Lock with
Speaker 1: the Matlock. You have a full matt Lock and and
Speaker 1: it's really detailed, full body. Yeah. You can kind of
Speaker 1: get an idea of the entire arc of the series
Speaker 1: based on like the different sections of the tattoo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it is nude, it is new, it's yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it starts from underneath the shoulder blade. It's to the
Speaker 1: bottom of his butt cheeks. I mean, you don't want
Speaker 1: to work around with something like that. Man, it looks
Speaker 1: like a weird yakuza tattoo. Fat just sounds like the
Speaker 1: worst idea I've ever heard in my life. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: still dealing with Hunt, still paying for it. But no,
Speaker 1: but um no, I agree with you. Don like definitely
Speaker 1: the old school, like dramas now they're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is lamee. These characters act like cartoon characters. But like comedy,
Speaker 1: that's what what's nope about comedy. It's like it's kind
Speaker 1: of universal, and it's if it's done right, it's kind
Speaker 1: of timeless. Like I Love I Love Lucy still really
Speaker 1: really funny, and you know, again like it's done such
Speaker 1: a long time ago, so those aspects of it you
Speaker 1: look back and you know it's a little cringe e.
Speaker 1: But like the other aspects, like man, this ship is
Speaker 1: still funny. Yeah yeah, I mean because like when you
Speaker 1: look at movies from the eighties, like a lot of
Speaker 1: the comedies don't hold up that well, but you know,
Speaker 1: dramas and back to the I guess back to the
Speaker 1: Future is a comedic drama. D I think drama. Back
Speaker 1: to Uh you know, the greatest film of all time,
Speaker 1: all time. Yeah, I guess, like like okay, like do
Speaker 1: you mean, like, let's say a film like Ferrest Bueau's
Speaker 1: Day Off? Is that, like my point, sucks is what
Speaker 1: I'm realizing. No, no, just background, back away from that
Speaker 1: real quick. I also immediately mentioned like and iconic, considered
Speaker 1: iconic like eighties comedy, but like, yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of comedies from that time, Like I don't know this
Speaker 1: one with Rodney danger Field that I liked when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, and I saw a part of it again,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, five years ago, yes, and I
Speaker 1: was like, this is fucking sucks, and it's just like
Speaker 1: it was like they were like, how do we make
Speaker 1: the dumbest, most like offensive bullshit with every bullshit a
Speaker 1: joke in it? And and then I like a dumbass.
Speaker 1: I was like probably like ten years old, and I thought, Man,
Speaker 1: this is hilarious, this is so good, this is so well.
Speaker 1: They really did, like they really love the funk out
Speaker 1: of like Rodney Dangerfield. Yeah. Remember when they fucking made
Speaker 1: that movie Rover Dangerfield. They just said, what if our
Speaker 1: man was a fucking dog And it's a cartoon now,
Speaker 1: like that was it. I remember being so confused as
Speaker 1: a kid when that movie came out. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. A dog that's doing
Speaker 1: stand up like the gus respects. Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Back then you just needed this, like like I mean,
Speaker 1: you need comedy. Had to have a stick, I guess,
Speaker 1: And he's like, hey, yeah, definitely does this weird? Like
Speaker 1: these days if you do yeah, these days, if you
Speaker 1: do that, people like, man, get this off stage. We
Speaker 1: want to be Rodney Dangerfield looking at us. I heard that.
Speaker 1: Dude was like, I mean again, I don't know, like
Speaker 1: how true this is what I heard? Like he was
Speaker 1: like a really shitty dude and like towards the end
Speaker 1: of his life when he wasn't doing comedy as much,
Speaker 1: like I had some like financial scheme where you like
Speaker 1: schemed a bunch of like old retired people out of
Speaker 1: their money or something like again, like I heard this.
Speaker 1: I forgot what source I heard this from, but I
Speaker 1: have heard from multiple sources the dude was like a
Speaker 1: shitty dude, but like someone who constantly glows around screaming
Speaker 1: about how they get no respect. I'm not surprised at
Speaker 1: all why they don't get any respect. But um, I
Speaker 1: mean I don't know who knows. I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: whole that's part of the life cycle of being a celebrity.
Speaker 1: Who old people like is you know, like Tom Selleck
Speaker 1: now does all those like scamships, uh, you know will exactly.
Speaker 1: I trust him, And I think that's just being an
Speaker 1: American who old people like these old people give their
Speaker 1: home to the bank in this commercial, Yeah for the yeah,
Speaker 1: for those reverse mortgages. Yeahs, like shut up, Tom said
Speaker 1: that you're asked, don't have no reverse mortgage. You morgage
Speaker 1: out of here? You do. Blue Bloods. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that shows still long, but I think it's always
Speaker 1: gonna be on. I think they signed an official deal
Speaker 1: that it's it's always. Yeah, we have extended Blue Bloods
Speaker 1: through the end of time. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and New Mexico has ended qualified immunity. Yeah, it's what
Speaker 1: do you'd love to see it? Like? Literally, this is
Speaker 1: these are the steps we need to take to have
Speaker 1: some kind of equitable society in which police officers and
Speaker 1: any government employ oye cannot just violate your rights and
Speaker 1: then hide behind this statute of qualified immunity to avoid
Speaker 1: any kind of civil prosecution. So, if you don't know
Speaker 1: what it is, this is basically the doctrine that shields
Speaker 1: police officers government officials from ever being personally held responsible
Speaker 1: for all kinds of malfeasance. And it makes it it's
Speaker 1: it's so hard for someone to bring a lawsuit against
Speaker 1: the police officers. But we'll just talk specifically in the
Speaker 1: instances of police brutality, because not only do you have
Speaker 1: to like there requires so many levels for this suit
Speaker 1: to go through to overcome the qualified immunity thing. Essentially
Speaker 1: that you would have to require proof that this officer
Speaker 1: clearly violated established law, and it there's a lot of
Speaker 1: nuance in there that allows for many suits to just
Speaker 1: fucking end right there. So, like let's say a police
Speaker 1: officer legally searches your ship like your jay Z and
Speaker 1: ninety nine problems, and you'll say that, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a violation of your Fourth Amendment civil liberties. You know,
Speaker 1: like that's you can't do that. But the police will
Speaker 1: then argue in court that it's actually more nuanced and
Speaker 1: that this isn't as straightforward um as a as like
Speaker 1: a comparable case, um as a way to allow the
Speaker 1: judge to fucking toss the whole fucking thing, because the
Speaker 1: first it's just the whole process is sucked up. First
Speaker 1: you have to prove that an officer violated a specific right,
Speaker 1: and then you have to prove that they knew they
Speaker 1: were violating a specific right. So shouldn't they know that
Speaker 1: they were? Like, isn't this in the training manual? Well,
Speaker 1: so this is where it comes out default. So it
Speaker 1: could be that like a specific use of force was
Speaker 1: settled in a court case and you say, oh, that's
Speaker 1: how you know you can't do that because they lost
Speaker 1: this case which says specifically that's what it is. If
Speaker 1: you can't find a case that mirrors what happened to
Speaker 1: you exactly, they will not. They'll say like, oh, that
Speaker 1: that hasn't been established as a transgression of your rights,
Speaker 1: and that's that's always like the rules are made because
Speaker 1: somebody broke the system, and then they had to put
Speaker 1: the rule in right only until after the damage is done,
Speaker 1: because you could be like, oh my god, well you
Speaker 1: saw in this thing the person was brutalized with excessive
Speaker 1: use of a taser or something, and because you were
Speaker 1: you were getting sucked up with a pepper ball gun
Speaker 1: or some ship, They're like, oh, well, that's not the
Speaker 1: same thing, so they actually, you can't prove that it's
Speaker 1: established law at this point. So this allows for police
Speaker 1: to regularly violate our civil rights. Also allows for a
Speaker 1: lot of wrongful convictions because a lot of these things
Speaker 1: happen in the course of police violating your rights. Um
Speaker 1: So removing this immunity allows for civil suits to go
Speaker 1: forward where the fucking police officer is personally liable for
Speaker 1: their actions personally, So that means you could, like, this
Speaker 1: helps for people to funk around and then find out
Speaker 1: what that means, because normally this qualified immunity just allowed
Speaker 1: people to keep banging with their fucking terrible behavior and
Speaker 1: police officers scare them away, you know, because I don't
Speaker 1: have money to keep violating these people and then they're
Speaker 1: gonna assume me. But it's only two states right now,
Speaker 1: Colorado and New Mexico. So shout out to Governor Michelle
Speaker 1: Luhan Grisian Grisham for signing that. It feels like one
Speaker 1: of like a dozen social institutions that protect them, like
Speaker 1: including the fact that they are just like that where
Speaker 1: they're positioned like culturally, all all the fucking capaganda that
Speaker 1: we're faced with on a daily basis, and um, and
Speaker 1: then you have the thing that we kind of made
Speaker 1: reference to earlier in the week with police when something
Speaker 1: like this happens, Like I'm going to like set a
Speaker 1: reminder to continue to google New Mexico police to see
Speaker 1: if the same thing happens there that we've seen in
Speaker 1: l A, where the police then become petulant and stop
Speaker 1: doing their job and are like, well, you guys were
Speaker 1: mad at us, so now we're not going to do
Speaker 1: the thing that we're paid to do like that. But
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing they don't even have. They don't
Speaker 1: have an obligation to act to stop crime. So it's
Speaker 1: like they've had a history of being allowed to do
Speaker 1: whatever the funk they want with this qualified immunity while
Speaker 1: never having to have the responsibility to stop or help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and if if you want to assume me, good fucking luck,
Speaker 1: because yeah, I've got you're actually actually you're going to
Speaker 1: pay for it with your tax dollars, so you know,
Speaker 1: rock on with your lawsuits. But yeah, this is it's
Speaker 1: only two states now that have this or some form
Speaker 1: of reducing the qualified immunity and this now it's not
Speaker 1: just police officers. It can be you could be a
Speaker 1: school administrator, you can be a city official, you can
Speaker 1: be corrections officer. Was it was qualified immunity covering those people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it covers usually all government people, like all government officials,
Speaker 1: like you were some form. Yeah, if they were violating
Speaker 1: you that you you couldn't come at them with a
Speaker 1: civil lawsuit based on them, you know, violating your rights. Damn.
Speaker 1: There was just talking about like how what the standing
Speaker 1: for this sort of thing is and the rest of
Speaker 1: the country. There was an article on the front page
Speaker 1: of the Wall Street Journal yesterday about how like there's
Speaker 1: a backlash too, uh this sort of thing in Philly,
Speaker 1: and they just like made it sound completely hopeless. They
Speaker 1: they not in not according to them. According to them,
Speaker 1: this is like these sorts of things are unreasonable. But
Speaker 1: it really fucking felt like a kick in the gut.
Speaker 1: What was the what was the backlash? Was it just
Speaker 1: like they're not legative or was it they're not backing
Speaker 1: a d A I think who has been critical of
Speaker 1: the institutional racism within the law enforcement community and there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, this what a way to prove
Speaker 1: him wrong, right exactly, Yeah, because I mean he was
Speaker 1: Krasner was you know, he was coming in on some
Speaker 1: different ship from the beginning, right um, into Philly. So
Speaker 1: like he's always been, uh, shown himself to be willing
Speaker 1: to be like, I'm not here to fucking cap for
Speaker 1: police too. And because he's not, that causes you problems
Speaker 1: because most of the time the d A is like,
Speaker 1: you're the best friend who's like you don't worry, whatever
Speaker 1: the funk you want. I've seen I've seen law in order.
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about, exactly. We all seen it.
Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's talk really quick about something else
Speaker 1: that's going to be also frustrating, which is anti vaxtors.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, whenever I hear the word vaccine, you know,
Speaker 1: my hair stand up on my neck because I always
Speaker 1: braced myself to hear some ridiculous pseudo scientific take. And
Speaker 1: at first, you know, it was the whole thing was like, well,
Speaker 1: they cause autism, and then you say, I don't. Are
Speaker 1: you aware that the study that you all point to
Speaker 1: was written by someone who was developing a vaccine that
Speaker 1: was competing with the established ones and that was meant
Speaker 1: to do that, so he could be like, well I
Speaker 1: got this other one that doesn't and then the journal,
Speaker 1: the medical journal that published it had to retract it
Speaker 1: almost set themselves the building on fired, like, yo, we've
Speaker 1: sucked up published. I'm We're so sorry. We should have
Speaker 1: never done that. Ship. That ship is bullshit, so sorry,
Speaker 1: this is not real. Do not refer to this as
Speaker 1: any something of any legitimate research. And then you know,
Speaker 1: pivoted away from that. Now is where its like vaccine injury,
Speaker 1: and you know, like a lot of the times, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of anecdotal evidence like well we don't have
Speaker 1: vaccines or I don't use science like medicine, and I'm fine,
Speaker 1: I'm using this, that and the other thing, and I'm okay,
Speaker 1: you know, without for a second questioning whether or not
Speaker 1: they might just be genetically at an advantage rather than
Speaker 1: them sort of being like no, actually, I'm so galaxy
Speaker 1: brained that I figured out how to side step accepted
Speaker 1: science to be healthy. Can you know, even though it's
Speaker 1: all ship that you cooked up on the internet. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: now we have COVID vaccines and the grifters or believers.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone's
Speaker 1: making money off of anti vaction. I'm like, that's you're
Speaker 1: just taking advantage of people who are very gullible and
Speaker 1: with the CBC has exposed this one woman sharing Sharry Tenpenny,
Speaker 1: not that they've exposed or she's a very out there
Speaker 1: anti vax or and osteopath, but now has a six
Speaker 1: week digital boot camp or it's called Mastering Vaccine Info
Speaker 1: and uh for six hundred twenty three dollars. I don't
Speaker 1: know where the funk. I don't know. If that's like
Speaker 1: some numerology ship six to I don't know. I have
Speaker 1: no clue. You can basically learn with this money, with
Speaker 1: this information, you will learn how to engage in the
Speaker 1: fight to put immuno compromised communities at risk. So this
Speaker 1: is some of the things that they were saying, like
Speaker 1: of like what the you know, the vibe is of
Speaker 1: this boot camp? She says, quote, you're in our choir. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's those who are on the fence who need to
Speaker 1: hear the message. My job is to teach the four
Speaker 1: hundred of you in the class. So each of you
Speaker 1: can go out and teach one thousand into people, and
Speaker 1: I want you to practice these these tactics in front
Speaker 1: of a mirror. Uh. These are which they can act
Speaker 1: in class and just adapt it for anti vaccent. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then she all says, my job and your job
Speaker 1: and everybody else who does this, their job is to
Speaker 1: sow seeds. We're going to build an entire army to
Speaker 1: stand up and say, not only no, but hell no.
Speaker 1: What is there obsession with the army? Listen one, we
Speaker 1: don't need it. We do not need neither a prayer
Speaker 1: army nor an anti vax or army to come and
Speaker 1: tell us how to live her wives healthily. That's why
Speaker 1: we have doctors and scientists. They're they're doing all the work.
Speaker 1: I mean, she does believe though, that COVID can be
Speaker 1: fought with vitamins and vibes. Goodbye. Yeah. While her husband
Speaker 1: is also part of the boot camp, he's basically on
Speaker 1: what they're talking about using straight up pickup artist tactics
Speaker 1: of neural linguistic programming. So I guess neg someone into
Speaker 1: being anti VAXs um. This is what says, quote understanding
Speaker 1: the subjective human experience and how each individual stores their
Speaker 1: version of information is key to unlocking their mind and
Speaker 1: building trust and successfully affecting change with them. So then
Speaker 1: he goes off. He's like encouraging the students to recognize
Speaker 1: what type of persuasion tactic is going to be the
Speaker 1: most effective based on the person they're talking to. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I've anyone who's done organizing. You learned some level on
Speaker 1: how to create common ground or at the very least,
Speaker 1: how to bridge gaps with you start by saying, I
Speaker 1: hear you up. I don't have a plan though you Yeah,
Speaker 1: so no, So in a way, I'm like, okay, there's
Speaker 1: that level, but not to this point. So he basically
Speaker 1: will slot the people that they would be speaking to
Speaker 1: into four categories and then present strategies for each, and
Speaker 1: like they have a workbook where it's like the weirdest
Speaker 1: back in fourth skit where like a person's like, you're
Speaker 1: not really telling me enough information. You're like, yeah, well
Speaker 1: what else do you need to see? And it's like
Speaker 1: what went wrong? Here? Were they using the wrong model?
Speaker 1: Is the cover of the workbook of Pyramid? Yeah? Actually why? Oh?
Speaker 1: I just I was looking for books to color while
Speaker 1: somebody unlocked my brain in a multi level way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: multi level, multi tiered way. What's wild. I specifically wrote
Speaker 1: down that I wanted to give them six dollars they
Speaker 1: knew now all this is like. Look, I understand people
Speaker 1: being skeptical, um, but white Americans that are anti vacs
Speaker 1: don't realize just how bad their privilege has duped them
Speaker 1: into thinking they don't need medicine. Like off the rip,
Speaker 1: White Americans enjoy the benefits of medical and scientific advancements
Speaker 1: in a way other demographics do not look at the
Speaker 1: life expectancy. It's not because we're built different we die sooner.
Speaker 1: It's because there's an utter lack of resources being put
Speaker 1: into those communities. Yes, you can look at Tuskegee, but
Speaker 1: you can also look at like just the like even
Speaker 1: beyond like financial or or access to you have an
Speaker 1: entire community that has been taught for years to disregard
Speaker 1: the actual pain of some of their patients because of
Speaker 1: the color of their skin like it is or or
Speaker 1: or because of what's between their legs, Like the way
Speaker 1: women's pain is just brushed off as not being important
Speaker 1: or as them overreacting. I read about a woman who
Speaker 1: died of endometriosis complaining about pain for years, years, and
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, it's period pain. You just got
Speaker 1: to get through that, that's all it is. It's a
Speaker 1: racist doctor nearly killed my brother. Yeah, when my brother
Speaker 1: was fifteen, he had pain in his hip. My mom's
Speaker 1: an X ray technician and an ultra sound scenographer. She
Speaker 1: took him into the doctor and he said, you know
Speaker 1: what I know your people. You treat your sons like princess.
Speaker 1: He cries because he spoiled shit, that's what he said.
Speaker 1: And my mom had to take him to the e R,
Speaker 1: the Children's Hospital e ER to get him the necessary tests. Everybody,
Speaker 1: including specialists said, which they had to pay out a
Speaker 1: pocket for, said he needs care immediately, and this doctor said,
Speaker 1: why did you go over my head? And made my
Speaker 1: parents wait outside in the parking lot with a security guard. MH,
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that happened to your family. That's extremely scary.
Speaker 1: I went through a similar thing where it's nearly paralyzed
Speaker 1: because I had her need to disk in my spine
Speaker 1: and even after an m r I which showed her nation,
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, a cortisone shot. Luckily, I had
Speaker 1: a nurse practitioner who came in, asked me a bunch
Speaker 1: of questions. She's like, I think you need surgery now.
Speaker 1: She hadn't touched me, she just asked me a couple
Speaker 1: of questions, like I think you could go through do now?
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh yeah, we had give me that
Speaker 1: quarterson shot. You'd have been paralyzed. If we had waited
Speaker 1: a day longer, you'd have been paralyzed. It is absolutely
Speaker 1: insane trying to like get medical help this stupid country.
Speaker 1: That's so frustrating. And for people to then go and
Speaker 1: be like I'm just going to not gonna shot. That
Speaker 1: is often just required for you to exist in society
Speaker 1: for very obvious reasons, like go read about any of
Speaker 1: like polio the place, like just how it inhabited so
Speaker 1: many act for big pharma. Actually, that's the thing. You
Speaker 1: don't understand. Big pharma is so evil. Therefore everything that
Speaker 1: happens in science is bad because big pharma, that's what
Speaker 1: that's what you're going to get hit with. And and okay,
Speaker 1: and see you yourself even point yourself, even pointed to
Speaker 1: examples of how the medical community was doing experiments on
Speaker 1: your own people, you know what I mean. So how
Speaker 1: could you trust, Like, hold up, that's not for you
Speaker 1: to tell me where how I want to part through that?
Speaker 1: And I just want to say this, Okay, Black Americans
Speaker 1: can point to a legacy of medical experimentation and torture
Speaker 1: that would fuel hesitancy. I'm not saying it's justified, but
Speaker 1: that is part of the history um in this country.
Speaker 1: But even when white anti vactors or you know, high
Speaker 1: income anti vactions, they they will point to communities of color,
Speaker 1: be like they have low vaccination rates, but completely missed
Speaker 1: the part where a lack of resources creates an information
Speaker 1: desert that is only exacerbated by systemic oppression. It's not
Speaker 1: because they're like, oh yeah, they get it, or like
Speaker 1: you know, like what's going on over there? No, really
Speaker 1: look at what the funk it looks like, because I
Speaker 1: think a lot of high income or white anti vactors
Speaker 1: they engage this is like a form of agency for
Speaker 1: them without having the objectivity about what the entire situation
Speaker 1: is within the medical industry, the country they reside in,
Speaker 1: or even genetics and to even take a closer look
Speaker 1: because I think the mass media also has a hand
Speaker 1: in this, just because it's it's sort of turned this
Speaker 1: into a US versus them, your anti VAXX or not,
Speaker 1: and it completely there's zero nuance, especially as it pertains
Speaker 1: to race. But anti factors should also look you know,
Speaker 1: you look at these pb s public belief exemptions where
Speaker 1: people get together and they say, I have a PB
Speaker 1: so that's why they we are not vaccinated as a family.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of studies that show they're like these
Speaker 1: high concentrations of public belief exemptions. The racial homogeneity is
Speaker 1: also just a huge part of it as well, And
Speaker 1: so these are people are you know, obviously protecting themselves mentally,
Speaker 1: visually or whatever to sort of keep from really thinking
Speaker 1: more about it. But it's like at some point these
Speaker 1: people have to come to the table and there has
Speaker 1: to be there has to be a reckoning with this
Speaker 1: kind of thinking. Because there was that documentary about flat
Speaker 1: earthers and there was like this whole group of like astrophysicists,
Speaker 1: astronomers and ship who are just like, what the funk
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? And while there was a ton
Speaker 1: of people who are like, how the fund could they
Speaker 1: not believe us? Have they done this? Ship? I've been
Speaker 1: fucking working out and blah blah blah, a lot of
Speaker 1: people are like, you know, we have to figure out
Speaker 1: a way to bridge this at because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, even though they are misguided, they are
Speaker 1: interested in science and some level they are interested in
Speaker 1: well being on someone but there, but that has to
Speaker 1: begin the thing, because it's like anything's like racist too,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much you get help save
Speaker 1: a racist, but or any sort of ignorant, discriminatory person,
Speaker 1: they start hearing things like oh so I'm bad. Immediately
Speaker 1: they're gonna shut the shop up, good luck trying to
Speaker 1: communicate um and with something like this that we're like,
Speaker 1: we need you know, like more than anything. You could
Speaker 1: be racist, stay in your fucking house and just don't
Speaker 1: bother anyone. But if you're out here contributing to the
Speaker 1: transmission of illnesses and things like that, that's a whole
Speaker 1: other game. And you're more than likely as a like
Speaker 1: a high income anti vactor, if you got sick, you
Speaker 1: could go to a fucking doctor and most likely pull through.
Speaker 1: But a person of color that you might unwittingly be
Speaker 1: transmitting a disease to, they don't have the same option.
Speaker 1: So I don't act like you're saving anybody anyway, so
Speaker 1: pay your six twenty three some to them to be
Speaker 1: able to say I have a choice to say no.
Speaker 1: I wonder if this makes me curious about the difference
Speaker 1: between agency and entitlement. Mhm. Sure, And I'm sure those
Speaker 1: blinds right, because because in the United States individualism, right,
Speaker 1: it starts to become propaganda. M hm. I don't know
Speaker 1: that it's agency to say I don't want the vaccine.
Speaker 1: I I feel like agencies the ability, yeah, like, because
Speaker 1: because real agency, and that kind of an instance is
Speaker 1: to be able to rely on experts to inform you
Speaker 1: appropriately with facts and figures that you can look to
Speaker 1: and point to clearly and say yes, performed decision based
Speaker 1: on what the information exactly. Because then otherwise agency is
Speaker 1: us doing the like US farming, us going out and
Speaker 1: doing the research us. You know, everything's but that's what
Speaker 1: they're doing. They, for whatever reason they've ingrained in themselves,
Speaker 1: are had ingrained in them the idea that the information
Speaker 1: you're being given is incorrect, right, and there's an entire
Speaker 1: conspiracy to keep the truth from you. And so their
Speaker 1: their thoughts on on getting vaccinated or not getting vaccinated
Speaker 1: is I've done the research, This is not only unnecessary,
Speaker 1: but potentially harmful to me or my children, and like,
Speaker 1: how do you? And I think that's what's sort of horrifying,
Speaker 1: is like I don't know how to bridge that gap.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get you to trust exactly
Speaker 1: the thing is believing that these people are lying to you.
Speaker 1: I think at the end it boils down to a
Speaker 1: fear that I don't want anything to go wrong with
Speaker 1: my child, fucking anything, so if I can, if there's
Speaker 1: even a chance of that, even though the medical science
Speaker 1: is saying that's a positive, I saw two things. I
Speaker 1: said it couldn't be and I don't want that at
Speaker 1: all to happen to my child. It's like that, and
Speaker 1: then and then it morphs into this whole other thing,
Speaker 1: um and then where the game among us? I feel
Speaker 1: it is so important. De radicalization of six to three
Speaker 1: exactly three dollars yellow looks sauce as funk. Right now,
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break, let's take a breather, and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and take me
Speaker 1: out to the I CEU America's pastime is back, baby
Speaker 1: yea and full cap not even though it's full capacity
Speaker 1: in text at least at Global Life Field for the Rangers.
Speaker 1: Open the photos photos you thought this ship was taken?
Speaker 1: You know. Uh was like like you gotta really squint
Speaker 1: your eyes, Like, who's got a mask on a lot
Speaker 1: of people with some chin masks. You've got a couple
Speaker 1: of people with masks, other people who are like, I'm
Speaker 1: off this ship. And you know, apparently at the at
Speaker 1: the field they were saying like no, like obviously we're
Speaker 1: telling fans to wear masks to keep it safe. We're
Speaker 1: not going to go the fun. We'll pack thirty eight
Speaker 1: thousand people in here, and some of them were well masks.
Speaker 1: I don't know, some won't. But what does it matter?
Speaker 1: Governor Abbot said, it's all g honey, So come through
Speaker 1: to the Rangers game. Right now, this state is about
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen percent fully vaccinated and over a quarter have
Speaker 1: a little just over have gotten their first shot. But
Speaker 1: these are not the kinds of numbers that would make
Speaker 1: an epidemiologist say play ball, uh, because at this point,
Speaker 1: I don't know like what it is. I think people
Speaker 1: are just desensitized to the risk as because if they've
Speaker 1: gotten this far, in your mind, you're like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I go, if I was gonna get it,
Speaker 1: I probably would have got it, So I'm probably good anyway.
Speaker 1: And also I think just many people have just like
Speaker 1: even if they acknowledge the pandemic, they've just personally prioritized
Speaker 1: this feeling of getting back to like normal and as look,
Speaker 1: I'll say, this is definitely safer than an indoor arena,
Speaker 1: but when you consider a lot of other ballparks have
Speaker 1: been operating and not even close to full capac like
Speaker 1: forty or fifty, this is like it's a little eerie
Speaker 1: to think about. Because we look at countries in Europe,
Speaker 1: they've started to reopen and we're starting to see a
Speaker 1: trend upboard again. So you know, money though got sponsors
Speaker 1: money sponsors, but might also asses in the seats. And
Speaker 1: also there seems to be a cultural like a certain
Speaker 1: cultural milieu were like being the first to reopen is
Speaker 1: like hell, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, brother type thing.
Speaker 1: It would be so shitty to get COVID, like after
Speaker 1: you know, there's the vaccines of ill well people getting
Speaker 1: vaccinated like now would be a horrible I mean, it's
Speaker 1: always a horrible time to lose somebody, but it's just
Speaker 1: how we're more likely, you know, catch a baseball game,
Speaker 1: be asymptomatic, bring it home to your elderly relative who
Speaker 1: you know only has their first dose and killed them
Speaker 1: or get them right, or has their first dose the
Speaker 1: day the next day. Right. Yeah, I started getting a
Speaker 1: little confident after my first shot. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I might go to a coffee shop, coffee to go.
Speaker 1: You're like, I might eat at this hometown buffet, demand
Speaker 1: that they open. Yeah. When I was on spring break
Speaker 1: on Miami Beach the other day with my family, uh,
Speaker 1: I took my kids on vacation for spring break, and
Speaker 1: we I witnessed a thing that made me like really
Speaker 1: feel for any parents of teenage kids, where like this
Speaker 1: teenager was like wearing his mask around his neck and
Speaker 1: his mom was like what are you doing? Like stop,
Speaker 1: do you want to kill us? And he was just
Speaker 1: like yeah, I want to kill grandma. I want to
Speaker 1: kill It was just like oh, like entitled teenage white
Speaker 1: kid like but just like teen ship head. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: well the dad. The dad was like just stop, both
Speaker 1: of you because the mom was like really taking it there,
Speaker 1: and like you know, there were people around. It was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty wild. It was it was like getting
Speaker 1: a front row seat to a live action familial meltdown
Speaker 1: on poor on par with a force made. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: the YouTube clips are gonna be popping when we enter
Speaker 1: society again. Motherfucker's don't know how to act and a
Speaker 1: lot of people are stressed and a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing, that's the same phenomenon. Why so
Speaker 1: many fights happened at Chucky Cheese and ship at kid's
Speaker 1: birthday places? Like oh I didn't know that? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Because it's like a combination of like stressed parents who
Speaker 1: want to do well for their kids. But it's sort
Speaker 1: of like but also like you might yeah, but so
Speaker 1: like and like someplaces have alcohol so tensions like boil
Speaker 1: over because like a ton of group parties on top
Speaker 1: of it, Like the energy can just be weird anxious,
Speaker 1: especially like if people have weird family situations, is another
Speaker 1: layer of complexity that you're bringing into Then if one

Speaker 1: like you'll be fighting your fear of miss sing out
Speaker 1: alongside like re entry anxiety. I mean, I'm comfortable, like
Speaker 1: I'm fine in my house right right right, but but yeah,

Speaker 1: eventually have to switch gears at some point, but yeah,
Speaker 1: all at our own pace. Exactly. That part of my
Speaker 1: brain I think never formed, the FOMO part. Like I
Speaker 1: think I'm like, that's I got phobo fear of going out.
Speaker 1: I think that's just called social exactly. That's weird. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I don't have FOMO. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: because I get nervous and uncomfortable. I'm as as like
Speaker 1: out spoken and gregarious and you know, uh, you know,
