Speaker 1: dog restraining order? Is that possible? I'm doing it to happen.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you what do you? How do y'all feel
Speaker 1: about people who invite themselves to pet your animals, Like
Speaker 1: if you're just walking and somebody just pulls up and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, like you don't know that. I used
Speaker 1: to be that person, and I learned how to ask permission,
Speaker 1: but I still like, I still I do ask permission
Speaker 1: because I think that's smarter and more polite, but also
Speaker 1: like I want to pet the dog. I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk to you right right right exactly. But that's
Speaker 1: why I feel like dog restraining orders. There was I
Speaker 1: used there's you know, there are people who just like
Speaker 1: invite themselves to pet your animal. Who It's one thing
Speaker 1: like if a dog runs up to you at a
Speaker 1: dog park and you're like, oh, okay, cool, but and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hi, I'm a human being right here. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So dog restraining order. That's what it reminded me of.
Speaker 1: I have a like a crazy story about someone who
Speaker 1: was like upset I was at when I was at
Speaker 1: Carnegie Melon, I was walking on this like pretty crowded
Speaker 1: street and I this lady if I could pet her
Speaker 1: dog because it was like the cutest little I think
Speaker 1: it was like a French bulldog. It was so cute
Speaker 1: and she was like yeah, yeah, sure, and then it
Speaker 1: was a white lady. She leans over and she was like,
Speaker 1: none of these Asians want to pet my dog? And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what first of all Asian? Second
Speaker 1: of all, what like they were like East Asian people
Speaker 1: walking by, like a bunch of groups of them, I
Speaker 1: guess or something, and like she was like offended that
Speaker 1: she didn't wanna that they didn't want to pet her.
Speaker 1: None of them were asking to pet her dog. And
Speaker 1: I was like, is this a trap? Because why do
Speaker 1: you want Asian people to pet your dogs? Out bad
Speaker 1: was like why did you get the dog? And second
Speaker 1: of all, I am Asian? And third of all, why
Speaker 1: would I ever relate to you saying that thing to me?
Speaker 1: She was truly wild. It was insane. I was like, what, like,
Speaker 1: is the purpose of this dog? Yeah? My wife is
Speaker 1: Korean and I have definitely had people like say things
Speaker 1: under their breath. When we were walking by with we
Speaker 1: had a King Charles Cavalier and they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing all these Asian girls with King Charles Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: It really was a cool moment. We immediately became friends
Speaker 1: with him. First of all, what a very specific stereotype.
Speaker 1: Exactly what a very strange and specific stereotype to propagate
Speaker 1: through the dog community. Also, like, I love when people
Speaker 1: are so ignorant about their own racism that they're like,
Speaker 1: I was just making an observation. It wasn't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like it's like, you don't even understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying. She said, like she said Asians with a
Speaker 1: hard a. It was like, yeah, like sound like these
Speaker 1: Asians sounded like a Ben Sailor table guy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they were speaking some kind of language. I
Speaker 1: think it was Asian. Oh my god. All right, Paul V.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
Speaker 1: a couple of the things we're talking about. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about New New Mexico ending qualified immunity, when I
Speaker 1: talk about some just top rate denials coming out of
Speaker 1: the Grand Old Party. UH. We'll talk about some of
Speaker 1: their fundraising, because it's not just it's not just the
Speaker 1: Trump UH company that is doing the email grifting that
Speaker 1: that has now spread beyond UH to to just the
Speaker 1: Republican Party in general. We'll talk about the latest reason
Speaker 1: we are so fucked trademark. We'll talk about a fifth
Speaker 1: force in physics, possibly the increase in billionaires and poverty.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about toxic positivity even if we have a
Speaker 1: chance to get to it. All of that, plenty plenty, Muru.
Speaker 1: The first, Paul, you like task our guests, what is
Speaker 1: something from your search history that is revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are? Oh? Okay, it's not my thing, but I
Speaker 1: did check my wiki feet rating again today because because
Speaker 1: there's this lady who put out I think her name
Speaker 1: is Laura Bassett, I think from the cut, and she
Speaker 1: put out a story about how she talked to the
Speaker 1: guy who was like updating her wiki feet page. She
Speaker 1: like did an interview with him, and I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: and she was like her feet were rated, Like okay,
Speaker 1: which is what my feet are rated? And then I
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm mad. I just want to be
Speaker 1: the best at every fetish no um. And then she
Speaker 1: so she like interviewed this guy and he was like
Speaker 1: almost sixty and he was like yeah. When I was
Speaker 1: like nine, I realized, like it's okay, Like it's harmless,
Speaker 1: Like I was somebody like his sister's friends or something.
Speaker 1: Like tied him up and tickled his feet or something,
Speaker 1: and he was like super into it, and he was like,
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine. If I'm into this, I'm cool
Speaker 1: with it. And so then he he sees it as
Speaker 1: like a public service to like take Instagram posts of
Speaker 1: like that women post with their feet, and like uploaded
Speaker 1: two wiki feet to like help the first he yeah,
Speaker 1: he said he thinks about that. He was like, I
Speaker 1: do think about that, but like I don't. I forget
Speaker 1: what he said how he justified it, but he was
Speaker 1: like he's like I have a conscience, you know, He's
Speaker 1: basically I'm a good guy. But it was like it
Speaker 1: was an interesting article to read. So then I was like,
Speaker 1: I haven't checked my wiki feet rating in a while,
Speaker 1: and I went back. I think they added a picture
Speaker 1: another picture where more of my I don't really it's
Speaker 1: it's fucking weird that I think about post Like before
Speaker 1: I post a picture, I'm like, hope my feet aren't showing,
Speaker 1: like it's you know what I mean, Like, it's weird
Speaker 1: that I think that. But for the most part, like
Speaker 1: I don't have like clear foot shots. And then there
Speaker 1: was one picture that I think had been added since
Speaker 1: last time, and it was me and my mom and
Speaker 1: we were in sorryes and are like we were wearing
Speaker 1: chuffles where like my feet was showing more and I
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't know how I feel about
Speaker 1: my mom being page. What if you got a higher
Speaker 1: rating than you that would be real. They're like they're
Speaker 1: like I'm giving this a five, but only for the mom.
Speaker 1: They're like link for mom, like a one. I forget.
Speaker 1: I think one is actually the beautiful, and then like
Speaker 1: five is like not not nice or whatever. It's like
Speaker 1: the idea of the guy who's doing He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: not like a monster, you know, like I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: the Wiki feet community and that they need to see
Speaker 1: these pictures. He literally was like I'm doing this for
Speaker 1: the community, Like I'm doing this for other people. And
Speaker 1: he was like he's like you can't really like you
Speaker 1: can't comment and like interact. It's like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: not like like a really community based website. So I'm
Speaker 1: just like doing this to like help out, you know,
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, wait to make yourself the hero in
Speaker 1: this situation. I'm not a monster. I'm like selfless when
Speaker 1: you kind of think about it, sort of yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: don't know. A foot Vigilante is Kang or Godzilla more
Speaker 1: like d R What what? What? Why are these three
Speaker 1: people grouped together? What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I've talked to
Speaker 1: you guys about this last time, if if this uh
Speaker 1: overrated opinion has persisted, But like if anybody does a
Speaker 1: Baja blast tweet, it goes super viral. Have you noticed this?
Speaker 1: There are so many and it's very I've talked to
Speaker 1: several friends about it and it seems to be a
Speaker 1: white person thing. They like love and I used to
Speaker 1: like bab Blast. I love Taco Bell, used to like
Speaker 1: Baha Blast, and then it's soured on me with all
Speaker 1: these literally you could say anything that rhymes with Baha Blast.
Speaker 1: Yeah ten, yeah, like you know, yeah two or three today? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that I was going to bring up, but I really
Speaker 1: because also I think, honestly, we created Baha Blast culture
Speaker 1: on this podcast. Three. I mean like we've been I've
Speaker 1: been not fuck that Jack that my toxic ego has
Speaker 1: arrived bro, and we created Baja Blast, the drink everything
Speaker 1: about it. No, but I think the like it really
Speaker 1: is like the laziest thing, because it feels just the
Speaker 1: mention of like, I think the one I saw today
Speaker 1: was like, make sure you enjoy your Baja Blast because
Speaker 1: it could be your Baja last and I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: and by the way, because I am one of those
Speaker 1: simple people who is part of Baha Blast culture. Every
Speaker 1: time one of these goes viral, like that's all My
Speaker 1: mentions are just full of people being like, hey, do
Speaker 1: you see this one? Did you see this? Because your
Speaker 1: Mountain Dew guy and I'm Subway tuna guy. So you
Speaker 1: guys cultivated these person these food personalities for yourself and
Speaker 1: I mean yet to get a free subway, so I
Speaker 1: don't see how it's Yeah, they're fucked them. But also
Speaker 1: I like all I like all Mountain Dew, I like
Speaker 1: Taco Bell, so I'm like very much in the in
Speaker 1: the ben diagram, I will say like I am not
Speaker 1: a extra Baja Blast, like it's not my favorite. I
Speaker 1: can feel you're distancing yourself from it. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: he's a traditional you know, yeah, do ahead, Doobie brother,
Speaker 1: do Wang Foo. Thanks for everything, Julie Dumar. Instead of
Speaker 1: the Baha Blast tweets, can we have a rallying cry
Speaker 1: to bring back the Mexican pizza because it was very
Speaker 1: anti Indian of that. To take it away, that is
Speaker 1: a very It's a staple food in the Indian community,
Speaker 1: is Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza. We love that ship, dude,
Speaker 1: Why what is it back? Why is it resonate? I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's just so good. You got the
Speaker 1: crispy shell fixings, right, I don't know, man, if the
Speaker 1: thing we love it, Yeah, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's just the I think we peaked when it was
Speaker 1: when we started doing like Cathelian Spanish with Baha Blash.
Speaker 1: I think that's where we with our with our Baja
Speaker 1: blast jokes on this show. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be one that will make me laugh more,
Speaker 1: But right now it feels like they're particularly like I
Speaker 1: specifically had that thought within the last week that it
Speaker 1: just seemed like it was like a Pampa numbers thing,
Speaker 1: whereas like, yeah, you just put a bahha blast reference
Speaker 1: into any popular saying we had. We had a group
Speaker 1: of poc and we were like, We're like, we're sticking
Speaker 1: this Baha blad last ship. Why do white people love
Speaker 1: all this Bob stuff? And then some of them were like,
Speaker 1: let's just do them and see how they go, and
Speaker 1: they went more viral than anything that We were like,
Speaker 1: we hate this, what's up? And then there were more
Speaker 1: Baha Blast tweets on the top. Don't get it, don't
Speaker 1: get over leveraged in the Baja Blast economy. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's a bubble. I think it's a bubble,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it first right now. It's about Baha Burst.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated besides the Mexican pizza? Um?
Speaker 1: I am like now appreciating collage more because my new roommate,
Speaker 1: her entire room is covered in collage. And yesterday look
Speaker 1: at this, guys, she gave me one from my room.
Speaker 1: Whoa and it's uh, I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: it brightens up her room and it's just like, look
Speaker 1: at what is what are the components of this collage?
Speaker 1: This one? Honestly, I'm not sure what everything is. Statues,
Speaker 1: it's a lighthouse. I got a last night. I haven't
Speaker 1: done all the research. There's a there's a tent that's
Speaker 1: a good, good glowing tent right there. Oh, that's a glowing,
Speaker 1: giant fucking moon right over here with a bunch of
Speaker 1: you can see in silhouette there's a sign from a
Speaker 1: protest where the earth is saying help. You know, I
Speaker 1: feel that that's what I picture your picture, your roommate
Speaker 1: with their ear to your door right now, And just
Speaker 1: it's cute that you think I have a door and
Speaker 1: not a curtain for a door. Okay, then lately looking
Speaker 1: through the curtain fold, look at this, Look at this hippo,
Speaker 1: look at this cute ass hippos. There's a goddamn hippo
Speaker 1: on this. But it's just fun. And I think she
Speaker 1: goes by like color and like overall feel. But like
Speaker 1: her room is like it's kind of like the club
Speaker 1: of our apartment. Like she has blowing lights and collages
Speaker 1: and lava lamps and we just like go in there
Speaker 1: and we vine fun. But yeah, I'm like, this is dope.
Speaker 1: I love collage kind of lights is she working with?
Speaker 1: She got like the Christmas lights, going like yeah, she
Speaker 1: has like those like I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're Christmas, but they're Christmas lights. Eat and they're like
Speaker 1: they hang down. She's got them like drapes. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then she just got those fucking those glasses that
Speaker 1: make all the lights look like hearts. So it's like extra, like,
Speaker 1: wait is your does your roommates just do shrooms in
Speaker 1: there all day? No comment? Okay, I like this sounds
Speaker 1: like the pro room. But if I got the collage,
Speaker 1: I got the flickering lights, it's everything huge. It's literally
Speaker 1: it feels like an entirely different space. But when when
Speaker 1: everything's opened up and we're all we're all vaccinated and good,
Speaker 1: you guys are welcome to come over and hang out.
Speaker 1: My roommates rooms off my face on shrooms with heart
Speaker 1: sunglasses on being like, wow, look at the trails. Also three,
Speaker 1: there's a there's just an incredible overlap between things that
Speaker 1: three year olds appreciate and things that people on shrooms appreciate.
Speaker 1: I think. I think because like for the reason that
Speaker 1: we do shrooms to like remove open the doors of perception,
Speaker 1: Like they just haven't like had all that you know,
Speaker 1: ship calloused over their brain yet. So they love Christmas lights. Man,
Speaker 1: we I can just like make make a day by
Speaker 1: putting up Christmas lights in their room. And then we
Speaker 1: just got a stuffed animal that shoots uh planet shaped
Speaker 1: lights that their ceiling and what Yeah, and it shaped lights.
Speaker 1: What do you mean It's just like, yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: it just made it. Yeah, I was like, what the fuck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what kind of But who doesn't love that ship? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That ship is so fun. Why don't we get more
Speaker 1: of that ship all the time? Because it's I think
Speaker 1: we have this idea, like again, maybe we're out fault.
Speaker 1: Dead lights are for people on drugs, yeah, or like
Speaker 1: toys or like all of that stuff. It's like, we're
Speaker 1: adults were allowed to play with children's stuff. Okay, no
Speaker 1: one can tell us we're not allowed to. I'm loyally
Speaker 1: playing PlayStation until I die, Like you know, I'll never
Speaker 1: stop playing my beloved toy from when I was fucking
Speaker 1: twelve years old. Oh yeah, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come 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 employee cannot just violate your rights and then
Speaker 1: hide behind this statute of qualified immunity to avoid any
Speaker 1: kind of civil prosecution. So if you don't know what
Speaker 1: it is, this is basically the doctrine that shields police
Speaker 1: off serves 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: see 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 are 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. I scare them away, you know, because I
Speaker 1: don't have money to keep violating these people and then
Speaker 1: they're 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 Grisha Grisham for signing that it feels like one
Speaker 1: of like it does, and social institutions that protect them,
Speaker 1: like including the fact that they are just like they
Speaker 1: where they're positioned like culturally, all all the fucking capaganda
Speaker 1: that we're faced with on a daily basis. And um,
Speaker 1: and then you have the thing that we kind of
Speaker 1: made reference to earlier in the week with police when
Speaker 1: something like this happens, Like I'm going to like set
Speaker 1: a reminder to continue to google New Mexico police to
Speaker 1: see if the same thing happens there that we've seen
Speaker 1: in l A, where the police then become petulant and
Speaker 1: stop doing their job and are like, well, you guys
Speaker 1: were mad at us, so now we're not going to
Speaker 1: do the thing that we're paid to do like that.
Speaker 1: But that's that's the thing is that they don't even
Speaker 1: have they don't have an obligation to act to stop crime.
Speaker 1: So it's like they've had a history of being allowed
Speaker 1: to do whatever the funk they want with this qualified immunity, uh,
Speaker 1: while never how thing to have the responsibility to stop
Speaker 1: or help. Yeah, and if if you want to assume me,
Speaker 1: good fucking luck, Yeah, I've got you're actually actually you're
Speaker 1: going to pay for it with your tax dollars, so
Speaker 1: you know, rock on with your lawsuits. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: is it's only two states now that have this or
Speaker 1: some form of reducing the qualified immunity and this Now,
Speaker 1: it's not just police officers. It can be you could
Speaker 1: be a school administrator, you can be a city official,
Speaker 1: you can be corrections officer. Was it was qualified immunity
Speaker 1: covering those people. Yeah, it covers usually all government people,
Speaker 1: like all government officials, like you were protecting some form. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if they were violating you that you you couldn't come
Speaker 1: at them with a civil lawsuit based on them, you know,
Speaker 1: violating your rights. There was just talking about like how
Speaker 1: what the standing for the sort of thing is and
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. There was an article on
Speaker 1: the front page of the Wall Street Journal yesterday about
Speaker 1: how like there's a backlash to uh, this sort of
Speaker 1: thing in Philly and they just like made it sound
Speaker 1: completely hopeless. They they not in not according to them.
Speaker 1: According to them, this is like these sorts of things
Speaker 1: are unreasonable. But it really fucking I felt like a
Speaker 1: kick in the gut. What was the what was the backlash?
Speaker 1: Was it just like they're not legislative or was it
Speaker 1: they're not backing a A D A I think who
Speaker 1: has been critical of the institutional racism within the law
Speaker 1: enforcement community and there, Yeah, it's just you know, this
Speaker 1: what a way to prove him wrong, right exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I mean he was Krasner was, you know, he
Speaker 1: was coming in on some different ship from the beginning,
Speaker 1: right um into Philly. So like he's always been, uh,
Speaker 1: shown himself to be willing to be like I'm not
Speaker 1: here to fucking cap for police to right. And because
Speaker 1: he's not, that caused you problems because most of the
Speaker 1: time the d A is like you're the best friend
Speaker 1: who's like, you don't worry, whatever the funk you want.
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen law in order. I know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Exactly. We all seen it. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some denials from the GOP. Just a
Speaker 1: couple rough media appearances that um highlight the fact that
Speaker 1: they are now just a you know, institution perpetuating white
Speaker 1: supremacy that like everything else is just like smoking mirrors
Speaker 1: and correction, this is nonsense. There's just people who are
Speaker 1: you know, used like images of George Washington to give
Speaker 1: them cover this whole time, and now it's like wearing
Speaker 1: off and you're like, I think you're just a lecherous,
Speaker 1: fucking funck back who happens to have congress person as
Speaker 1: a title. Um. So, first up, is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite about faces that you have to do. Uh, tune
Speaker 1: in for season when we do that. But the Alabama
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, John Merrill, he was considering running for
Speaker 1: Richard Shelby's senency who's retiring, and but then these scandalous
Speaker 1: rumors came out about him having an affair. So he says,
Speaker 1: so someone came out and said, look, I was having
Speaker 1: an affair with this person over like from seventeen to
Speaker 1: twenty basically uh, and he wrote in his denial. Beginning
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, this woman began texting and communicating with
Speaker 1: me through social media. While we exchanged text and she
Speaker 1: even visited the office, it was clear she had other
Speaker 1: intentions that were bordering on obsession. I alerted my wife, Cindy,
Speaker 1: to this, and we both agreed to cut off any
Speaker 1: and all communication with her. When I cut off communication,
Speaker 1: she began harassing my staff at all hours of the day.
Speaker 1: She even began stalking me at multiple locations, which eventually
Speaker 1: let her to locating my Montgomery residents and sending threatening
Speaker 1: messages to me that foretold the lies she would make
Speaker 1: up about my marital life if I did not keep
Speaker 1: talking to her. Just to talk to her. Oh man, well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Secretary of State, Meryl, this woman clearly
Speaker 1: went to the V. Stiviano School of receipt Procurement. Uh.
Speaker 1: And if you remember, V. Saviano is a woman who
Speaker 1: recorded Donald Sterling saying wild racist shit about his basketball players,
Speaker 1: because she has his ass on tape talking about all
Speaker 1: the wild fucking they did. So when a l dot
Speaker 1: com was like, sir, are you still you still deny
Speaker 1: these allegations, He's like absolutely. They said, okay, can you
Speaker 1: listen to this tape really quick? So the last time
Speaker 1: that we had sex as the last time ever, well
Speaker 1: it was it was a pretty good day. That's the
Speaker 1: last time ever. It's supposed to be the last time ever.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say how he needs God and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So when they played that clip for him,
Speaker 1: he says this and then he goes it's clear that
Speaker 1: this is this is literally here was his response upon
Speaker 1: hearing the tape. Quote, It's clear that I had an
Speaker 1: inappropriate relationship with her, and it's not something that I'm
Speaker 1: proud of or something that is something that i'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm very disappointed in myself. I'm also disappointed that I
Speaker 1: allowed my family to be embarrassed by this action, and
Speaker 1: it's something that I certainly will always regret because of
Speaker 1: the pain that it has caused my family. Yo, he
Speaker 1: had that notes that ready to go, like sorry one second,
Speaker 1: I like which apology is this? I love that all
Speaker 1: of these ones, Like it always starts with that, why
Speaker 1: he's so obsessed with me? Like that always the first
Speaker 1: thing where I carry defense. I think high school grade gaslighting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where you're just like, no, she's actually obsessed with me.
Speaker 1: And also what pisces me off on a broader scale
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, affairs are shitty and bad to your
Speaker 1: partner and like lying and what that's all bad, But
Speaker 1: it's like his policies are much worse and no one
Speaker 1: cares about do you know what I mean? Like it's
Speaker 1: in terms of harm done to larger populations of people.
Speaker 1: It's because it's so weird, because I think politics, like
Speaker 1: political discourse is also stuck in this era to where
Speaker 1: a fair equals bad equals the worst thing that can happen,
Speaker 1: and we can just focus on that rather than anything substantive,
Speaker 1: like in affair will always be fucking juicy no matter what.
Speaker 1: But it's also they hold themselves. They they're standard like
Speaker 1: their politics are this like very ultra religious view of
Speaker 1: humanity that is unforgiving to the point of like killing
Speaker 1: people who commit crimes. And then so it is I like,
Speaker 1: I get that there is a connection between why their
Speaker 1: politics and why it's so fun to see them than
Speaker 1: be completely full of ship uh and amoral in a
Speaker 1: way that ultimately doesn't matter to me at all, but
Speaker 1: you know you just love we want to watch someone
Speaker 1: eat ship like be like, oh, really, here's this tape.
Speaker 1: I would normally like feel bad for the like I
Speaker 1: feel bad for his wife in that she was cheated on,
Speaker 1: but she married him, so fuck her, like I guess,
Speaker 1: like and also if like the number of times I've
Speaker 1: seen men stand there with their wives like apologizing, like
Speaker 1: because that is when you marry a man like that,
Speaker 1: or a man in a public like space or like
Speaker 1: you're both famous or something that is a possibility where
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to like stand next to him as
Speaker 1: he says that he cheated on you and that you're
Speaker 1: working on it together. I'm like, kill me. I would
Speaker 1: never I would never be in that position if I was,
Speaker 1: if I was, if I was still in the marriage
Speaker 1: and not just gone. I'd be like get him, Like,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna sit with the press. We're asking questions together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're actually like you know what, let go? How has
Speaker 1: ever done to be? Yeah, call on me, bitch, let
Speaker 1: me have a fun. How has nobody ever done that?
Speaker 1: Gone up there, pretended like they were going to stay
Speaker 1: by their end, and then like the mic goes over
Speaker 1: them and they're like, fucking kill me. This asshole can
Speaker 1: go fund himself as you can off. This might drop.
Speaker 1: This is like a like flash mob proposals, right, Like
Speaker 1: the girl is like not aware. I live for the
Speaker 1: ones where she rejects him, because it's just so I'm like,
Speaker 1: if you're at a point where you like don't know
Speaker 1: the person like well enough to know if they'll say, yes,
Speaker 1: why are you doing this? And if the flash mob
Speaker 1: is is like you're like, well, we did a flash mob,
Speaker 1: So she's probably going to be impressed by that, and
Speaker 1: maybe she'll know my stepball change and now she's in it.
Speaker 1: She loved my parrot, she wants to marry me. I mean,
Speaker 1: did you see me hit the dab and then I
Speaker 1: hit them folks too? Those are those are early vine moves,
Speaker 1: I did. I did that for you, so dumb. Next
Speaker 1: up of the bumbling idiots is Eric Bowling, who is
Speaker 1: a former Fox News host um that has teeth so
Speaker 1: white you thought his mouth was a clan rally. And
Speaker 1: he I want to say, he's former Fox News host
Speaker 1: because he was fired for sending lewed messages to co workers.
Speaker 1: That's why he's This is the kind of character he is,
Speaker 1: you know, essentially a Fox News talent. So this doesn't
Speaker 1: have to do with the lewd text messages. It has
Speaker 1: to do with his transparent racism because he went on
Speaker 1: the BBC to discuss the voting laws in Georgia and
Speaker 1: how you know how the All Star Game being relocated
Speaker 1: was actually very bad for all of the black people
Speaker 1: in Georgia, who he cares deeply about. Objectively, yes, it's
Speaker 1: not good to boycott these things because more than likely
Speaker 1: it's going to fall on the people of color and
Speaker 1: wage workers who would actually depend on all these activities happening.
Speaker 1: And also, let's be real this george is not the
Speaker 1: only state with this kind of I'm pretty sure there's
Speaker 1: forty three other ones. You can look at two and
Speaker 1: give them this kind of same attention. But in this
Speaker 1: very narrow instance, I think he did. I think he thought,
Speaker 1: because he was on the BBC and they're from the UK,
Speaker 1: that he could just say some ship like that about
Speaker 1: how he cares so much and like it's really heartbreaking
Speaker 1: to see because he actually cares and these laws aren't
Speaker 1: so offensive and backwards and regressive that we're going back
Speaker 1: to fucking Jim Crow. That he felt like saying something
Speaker 1: like that that would just preserve his poorly stealthed racism.
Speaker 1: But on the other side of that panel was Aisha Mills,
Speaker 1: who's a regular on CNN, MSNBC, and she had to
Speaker 1: shut the ship down so quick that he had to
Speaker 1: run away. Um, so I'm gonna like she It's a
Speaker 1: pretty long interaction, but just know that once he says
Speaker 1: like and I really care about them, she sort of
Speaker 1: starts off being like, I think it's rich that this
Speaker 1: white Republican is trying to say he gives a funk
Speaker 1: about people of color. Are you serious? Is the gist
Speaker 1: of it, And we'll get to the point where it
Speaker 1: starts getting a little fraud about race a discrimination and
Speaker 1: how dare you try to act like you are somehow
Speaker 1: a proponent of black people in businesses, um just to
Speaker 1: make a point and to try to create a wedge.
Speaker 1: It's ignorant and it's just disrespectful. That's disgusting. I'm done.
Speaker 1: Put me off, that's disgusting. I am. I am nowhere
Speaker 1: anything you're painting me to be. And the problem with
Speaker 1: American politics is exactly that, because I'm white, you think
Speaker 1: I'm racist. That's bs. I'm done. Will you just stay
Speaker 1: when you first question, he's walked off camera. So the
Speaker 1: question we call Aisha stay for one question. Let me
Speaker 1: put this to you, because I don't know why I'm
Speaker 1: staying here, I don't let me the question. And he
Speaker 1: she says, I'm not going to apologize for being offended,
Speaker 1: and he walks off. Huh wait first of all, uh okay,
Speaker 1: I need to I need to pull that. So he
Speaker 1: was basically with with He was just saying the black people, well,
Speaker 1: we're going to be affected by it. And he brought
Speaker 1: black people up out of nowhere. No, because as they
Speaker 1: were talking about what's happening in Georgia, like one of
Speaker 1: his last takes before I used to respond is just
Speaker 1: about he's like, you know, in regardless if I feel
Speaker 1: about the voting bill. He's like, moving the All Star
Speaker 1: Game out of Georgia is going to affect the like
Speaker 1: black businesses and people of color in the state of
Speaker 1: Georgia who I care about, Like he was concerned trolling
Speaker 1: about the MLB's move away from Georgia for the All
Speaker 1: Star Game. But okay, but he brought it up with
Speaker 1: the game with like that having had no connection before, right,
Speaker 1: like that, Well, no, I mean, as they talked about it.
Speaker 1: But he's but he's going down the line of like never,
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be deracialized. It's about restoring trust in
Speaker 1: the things critics say this to. Every time a white
Speaker 1: person goes because I'm white, I'm racist, I want to
Speaker 1: be like, yeahs yes, because because of the system. And
Speaker 1: second of all, every person who says that yes, if
Speaker 1: you if you're not willing to give that much thought
Speaker 1: to it, to just say, oh, because I'm white, I'm racists, like, wow,
Speaker 1: look at these thoughts killing cliches you're just throwing out
Speaker 1: rather than entertaining further. Because I'll say this, everybody who
Speaker 1: lives in any country that's dominated by white supremacy, you
Speaker 1: will internalize that ship. In fact, most of the earth
Speaker 1: because of the media that's shot out of cannons from
Speaker 1: this country is only reinforcing these sort of ideas as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we all have a part to confront our
Speaker 1: own innate racism, for sir. And then when he said
Speaker 1: that's disgusting, I literally thought it was because a woman
Speaker 1: of color was talking. I was like, that's what he's
Speaker 1: reacting to. Obviously, when women of color talk, they get
Speaker 1: so pissed that they're allowed to say. Well, there's nothing
Speaker 1: more upsetting to a you know, cis head, white conservative
Speaker 1: man than to be just absolutely Vince cartered on, dunked
Speaker 1: on by a woman of color or any person of
Speaker 1: color who is not like you or conform to whatever
Speaker 1: you're you know, conservative set of norms is. I wish
Speaker 1: we could just like, I wish we could just when
Speaker 1: they're like when white people get defensive like that in
Speaker 1: public and they're like, I'm not like, you're calling you racist?
Speaker 1: The person is never like outright calling them racist, And
Speaker 1: I wish we could just say that. I wish we
Speaker 1: could just be like, yes, you are racist, here's a list,
Speaker 1: and then just like unfurlist rol what you mean I think,
Speaker 1: And we can never they never say that because they're
Speaker 1: like they're pressured to have a civil conversation according to
Speaker 1: like through the through the white lens, Right, So, like
Speaker 1: white people get so upset when you call them racist,
Speaker 1: but I just want to, like, let's just throw it
Speaker 1: out there, let's just start calling them what they are. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the duty all people have is
Speaker 1: to clearly communicate things like that, you do. It's a
Speaker 1: disservice to allow someone to be racist and then obscure
Speaker 1: it with like whatever fucking you know. Yeah, language you
Speaker 1: want to use to make it euphemistic. Yeah, the demanding
Speaker 1: and apology is uh just peak peaks snowflake, snowflakey snowflake?
Speaker 1: Is um just peak fragility? Yeah, no, you gotta apologize
Speaker 1: for saying the truth. I'm sorry. I'm gonna take my
Speaker 1: ball and go home if you don't apologize. Okay, take
Speaker 1: your ball, because you got fired from every damn outlet
Speaker 1: you ever been on. Right, wait, so he got fired
Speaker 1: and he's still going on ship talk, Like why are
Speaker 1: we giving him a platform? I think because they were
Speaker 1: just like, you know, hey, we found a racist idiot
Speaker 1: to get absolutely pooned on this show, to talk out loud.
Speaker 1: So here he is. So that's my question is because
Speaker 1: so this is how they're like presenting themselves as a party,
Speaker 1: uh in in the media like a more yeah, in
Speaker 1: a more like kind of a setting where people might
Speaker 1: be more inclined to believe one way or the other,
Speaker 1: not just like fully in the funnel of the Republican
Speaker 1: Party and those policies. So I like people obviously see
Speaker 1: that and they're like, that's fucking like just laughable. But
Speaker 1: I also feel like the people who are already who
Speaker 1: are on these mailing lists have to at this point
Speaker 1: also be seeing this, right, Like there there's an article
Speaker 1: in The Bulwark where they like one of their reporters
Speaker 1: is on a u NRCC mailing list and was saying
Speaker 1: the thing that like the New York Times called the
Speaker 1: Trump campaign out for last week that led the Trump
Speaker 1: campaign to have to like refund millions and millions of
Speaker 1: dollars to elderly people who can agreed to contribute to
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign and then we're automatically signed up for
Speaker 1: like recurring contributions until basically they were out of money.
Speaker 1: So he was like, oh, they're still doing that, like
Speaker 1: as a Republican party to their to their owners. So
Speaker 1: the NRCC sent a text on Tuesday to this reporter saying,
Speaker 1: you have ten minutes to join Trump's social media network,
Speaker 1: last chance to sign up? Will you be the first
Speaker 1: to join? So very interesting that it's last chance, I'm
Speaker 1: first to join UM. And then you go to the
Speaker 1: landing page says President Trump is planning to launch his
Speaker 1: own social media site very soon. Will you be the
Speaker 1: first to join? Five X matching activated so you can
Speaker 1: show your support for President Trump and House Conservatives. This
Speaker 1: has no affiliation with Trump. It's a complete lie. And
Speaker 1: also he doesn't have a social media site yet. They're
Speaker 1: just like lying about that. Was he trying to Renner?
Speaker 1: What's happening? Yeah? Yeah? So uh. Then they present you
Speaker 1: with two boxes that are pre checked. The first makes
Speaker 1: the donation a monthly recurring so they're just and I
Speaker 1: want to read to you the wording on this. It says,
Speaker 1: we need your help to draft Trump for president. Check
Speaker 1: this box if you want Trump to run again. Un
Speaker 1: check this box if you do not stand with Trump.
Speaker 1: And then in small print underneath, it says, make this
Speaker 1: a monthly recurring donation. So that's the translation above, but
Speaker 1: below they have to tell you the truth. Then the
Speaker 1: next box says Trump patriot status missing exclamation point as
Speaker 1: a top grassroots supporter. We were surprised to see you
Speaker 1: abandoned him. This is your last chance to update your
Speaker 1: status too active. Donate an additional fifty dollars automatically on
Speaker 1: four seven. Anytime an email tries to inspire any emotion
Speaker 1: in me with like capital letters or whatever, I'm like,
Speaker 1: do you know how many men might have age I've dated?
Speaker 1: I'm dead inside. You're not gonna get me with caps locks? Okay,
Speaker 1: I see this in my text messages all all the time,
Speaker 1: especially abandoned me. I'm sending that ship. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: The this is your last chance to be I'm just
Speaker 1: fucking chance before Probably, I'm just surprised as all to
Speaker 1: see that you abandoned me. You've gone missing. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: quick turn, the quick turn. Well that's I mean, it's
Speaker 1: great to see this sort of the whole again. We
Speaker 1: talked about all the time, how white supremacy. Uh, this
Speaker 1: idea of of superiority is just a slow bleed poison
Speaker 1: that over time you keep ingesting it. It's not going
Speaker 1: to lead to positive outcomes for you, and in this
Speaker 1: case it's like, hey, agree to be financially bled dry
Speaker 1: by this other white supremacist grifter. It's like great. There.
Speaker 1: It is also like between between the funck boy thing
Speaker 1: and then also just like do you know how much
Speaker 1: I check Wikipedia and I don't donate to them? So
Speaker 1: like what like what are these pop up boxes going
Speaker 1: to do for you? There is something about yellow though,
Speaker 1: because these these pop up boxes are all yellow, which
Speaker 1: is also I believe the Wikipedia boxes. So something about yellow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like do you want to It's like do you
Speaker 1: want to spread information or misinformation? Yeah? I think because
Speaker 1: doesn't yellow stimulate brain activity? I don't know. Because I
Speaker 1: had a math teacher who would print all of our
Speaker 1: tests on like yellow paper. I was like his way
Speaker 1: to be like I'm looking out for y'all, like suddenly
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, not that it's like fully provable,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's like a good color associated with that.
Speaker 1: But I think it's that. Plus, this is again these texts,
Speaker 1: we know who they would fucking shake to their core,
Speaker 1: old people. The old people would fucking I'm sure five
Speaker 1: people died reading these. They were sound, but like chain mail,
Speaker 1: they were like I have to check the box. Doesn't
Speaker 1: send it to Ted friends. Yeah, yeah, exactly, legit. I
Speaker 1: just have to read this other Um, this is just
Speaker 1: on the NURCC website. It says, check box, we need
Speaker 1: to know we haven't lost you to the radical lab.
Speaker 1: If you un check this box, we will have to
Speaker 1: tell Trump you're a defector and sided with the Dems.
Speaker 1: Check this box and we can win back the House
Speaker 1: and get Trump to run in. And that's a check
Speaker 1: box that underneath in small print, make this a monthly
Speaker 1: recurring donation. So that's how they're getting you to agree
Speaker 1: to have them take like have access to your bank account. Basically, Um,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like respected that they capitalize the
Speaker 1: first letters of radical labs like thank you, we are
Speaker 1: we do deserve that radical honestly, calibunga y'all. Also, they're
Speaker 1: they're used like fucking nom terms like defector right right, Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: look it's all by design, baby, Like really, the like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell Trump you a little bitch is like
Speaker 1: what the next one is geting we will have to
Speaker 1: tell Trump you're a defector is so wild and so
Speaker 1: like you can't write that sentence and have respect for
Speaker 1: whoever you're targeting, like it is you are writing that
Speaker 1: laughing and pointing with the person who's next to you,
Speaker 1: like being like, look at this ship for these idiots
Speaker 1: like that are our evangelicals and the like are they
Speaker 1: working together or are they now competitors in this pyramids game?
Speaker 1: Like what is how is Mary Kay involved? I need
Speaker 1: to know, like who's getting which segments? Look, as long
Speaker 1: as the GOP can deliver the fucking you know, the
Speaker 1: end days, the end times. I think they're they're they're
Speaker 1: fine with whoever really, but I do. I feel like
Speaker 1: this all has to back right, like it's too transparent,
Speaker 1: Like I I don't know. I like I have a
Speaker 1: theory that I always talk about that like people aren't
Speaker 1: quite as stupid as the people who are, Like people
Speaker 1: are dumb, Like you have to appeal to him, like
Speaker 1: speak of people as like a abstract group of dummies
Speaker 1: that you're trying to hurt, Like I think they overdo
Speaker 1: it and I think people are smarter than that. I
Speaker 1: feel like this has to backfire, like eventually it's just
Speaker 1: too dumb. I think I think people aren't as dumb
Speaker 1: as people say, but it is, But we operate under
Speaker 1: the presumption that people are telling us the truth. And
Speaker 1: that's like that like you can get gas lit, you
Speaker 1: can get misinformation, you can get all of that while
Speaker 1: still being smart. It's just like the people who are
Speaker 1: in power lie to you, so it's like you can
Speaker 1: still be manipulated. I go back to the Fox Boys.
Speaker 1: It's truly like it's the same, you know, a rhetorical
Speaker 1: strategy to convince a five year old to like sort
Speaker 1: of fall in line because oh, if you don't do this,
Speaker 1: I will tell Santa you're a fucking defect or bitch
Speaker 1: like this on the shelf bullshit. Yeah, so you know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, Jack, I think we may be
Speaker 1: pretty dumb as a um because if you look at
Speaker 1: some of the polling that's coming out around celebrities running
Speaker 1: for office, Yeah, I think we are dumb as a fuck. All.
Speaker 1: So this new poll comes out just top line stuff
Speaker 1: of of the people they pulled, I think is out
Speaker 1: of like a group of maybe ten or twenty thousand people.
Speaker 1: Voters of Americans believe Hollywood stars can make good politicians
Speaker 1: with the right attitude and support staff. Huh okay, really
Speaker 1: just like that. Then they start asking who would you
Speaker 1: like to see run for office. Now, I will say this,
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent support Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey running for president and governor of Texas respectively. Wait,
Speaker 1: that's fifty eight total. So if you look at how
Speaker 1: they how they like shape up like they're enjoying for
Speaker 1: for them, Like in a in a sample based on
Speaker 1: asking the question, should you do you think Dwayne the
Speaker 1: Rock Johnson should run? He's doing about fifty eight percent
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ between the answer of like, yeah he should
Speaker 1: and both Matthew McConn Anyway, that's not saying I'd vote
Speaker 1: for him, but I want the option. They're not considering
Speaker 1: that if Dwayne's president, Kevin Hart is going to be
Speaker 1: vice president, and I don't know if we can handle that.
Speaker 1: It would be odd hatty old wrestler ticket. I mean
Speaker 1: what about the action movies? That would be the the
Speaker 1: real place it would hurt us. We will be without
Speaker 1: Dwyne the Rocket. I mean when you go when they
Speaker 1: just said so for people who were said like they
Speaker 1: were supported Hollywood celebrities run for office, they said, among
Speaker 1: the following, who would you like to see run for office?
Speaker 1: The most, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, George clooneycent air pod
Speaker 1: vape fucker, Leonardo DiCaprio ten percent, Harrison Ford nine percent,
Speaker 1: Robert Downey Jr. Eight percent, Robert de Niro, and the
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio is truly wild. Oh you don't know the story.
Speaker 1: Oh you don't know. You don't know. It's just so
Speaker 1: it's a it's based on a eyewitness account that I
Speaker 1: I don't know the person who said this, but it
Speaker 1: seems to be have internet more. It's Internet lowre. But
Speaker 1: it's like people who know are like, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: true story. Is that, uh, someone slept with Leonardo DiCaprio
Speaker 1: and while they were having sex, he lay on his
Speaker 1: back with noise canceling headphones and vaped and that that's
Speaker 1: how disconnected he was from. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like
Speaker 1: vape fucker. Thank you, damn proceeds, but maybe better with
Speaker 1: the environment than somebody. Yeah, I'm sorry if if you
Speaker 1: raised chat Hanks, you cannot qualify for press. Absolutely, I'm sorry. Tom.
Speaker 1: I love you, I do not love it. But that's
Speaker 1: how he's going to get the black vote right now
Speaker 1: people of color the United States. Boy check, you know
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the who this asshole? And then the
Speaker 1: black queen merch that was being that he was trying
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, pretty rough. I mean, it's a white
Speaker 1: boy summer, you know, which I'm pretty sure the last
Speaker 1: summer have been thank you. I've been waiting for this.
Speaker 1: When's it going to be white boys summer? When's it
Speaker 1: going to be brown girl winter? And then they're asking,
Speaker 1: you know, as they said from among the following female celebrities,
Speaker 1: who would you like to see? The highest getter was
Speaker 1: Angelina Joe Lee, followed by Oprah close with then Dolly
Speaker 1: Parton at twelve at nine, Meryl Streep at nine, Helen
Speaker 1: Mirren at seven percent, and Jane Fonda at six percent.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Helen Mirren cannot be the president. I was
Speaker 1: wondering when Jane Fonda would pop up, because she seems
Speaker 1: the most in the know out of everyone on the list.
Speaker 1: She should be higher. She's the one person on this
Speaker 1: list who should be higher. And then a yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and steals little kids and stuff so she could be president.
Speaker 1: Opression go nowhere near science. I think one of the
Speaker 1: things that I that I said was overrated one time
Speaker 1: when I was on here was like Oprah, but only
Speaker 1: for the science ship because she's awful at it. She
Speaker 1: puts the first people in plap, she'd be like yeah,
Speaker 1: she'd point the worst peace, I have crystal expert here
Speaker 1: to help us solve climate change. Like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back and uh, let's
Speaker 1: do a little physics corner here real quick. This is
Speaker 1: top of my mind. Oh. The four forces, gravity, electromagnetism,
Speaker 1: the strong force, and the weak force are the four
Speaker 1: known forces in the universe. Gravity electromagnetism are the ones
Speaker 1: that we usually interact with on a daily basis. The
Speaker 1: strong force and the weak force are apparently like more
Speaker 1: at a molecular level. Obviously subatomic, subatomiclearferent molecular is bigger.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's usually turntabl ing, m seeing
Speaker 1: graffiti and break dancing. Yes, but those are the pillars
Speaker 1: of hip hop um. But okay, I guess this is
Speaker 1: some other ship. What it's called physics, physics with an
Speaker 1: x uh. And so now that there's apparently possibly a
Speaker 1: I love how I tried to sound smart by saying
Speaker 1: molecular level and it was like Jack O'Brien, writer of
Speaker 1: the Marvel movie, it almost sounds like science stone question,
Speaker 1: guys were at a molecular level here, time travel is
Speaker 1: possible when you get down to the molecular level. What
Speaker 1: iron Man legit made an element in front of us,
Speaker 1: and we were all just like, yeah, yeah, it's Captain
Speaker 1: America got to say, alright, So physicists say they may
Speaker 1: have found possible signs of a fifth fundamental force of nature,
Speaker 1: which is so it's like very we It's basically like
Speaker 1: it's a tiny, tiny percentage of a fraction of a
Speaker 1: percentage uh stronger the magnetism of one thing they measured,
Speaker 1: and one of the particle colliders is like a little
Speaker 1: bit stronger than it should have been. And they're like,
Speaker 1: this probably means there's another force that we were not
Speaker 1: account That force was love. According to Christopher Nolan, Yes,
Speaker 1: but was love? Uh God? That movie's ending. That seller
Speaker 1: fun fact one of the best, one of the best
Speaker 1: movies to deal with science because they took Kip Thorne's advice.
Speaker 1: Kip Thorne now know about prize when I don't think
Speaker 1: he was at the time, and he was like Stephen
Speaker 1: Hawkings best friend Kip Thorne, advised the movie and then
Speaker 1: they fucking actually took the advice. So everything was very accurate,
Speaker 1: actively portrayed until they started talking about love and like,
Speaker 1: this ship is not believable. Yeah, fast forward, love doesn't solve.
Speaker 1: That's what was so frustrating about it is that they
Speaker 1: like made a whole movie with the point being like
Speaker 1: we've stuck to everything, like everything has become scientific, and
Speaker 1: then at the end they were like, but what if
Speaker 1: what if love? Yeah, it's like and that little girl,
Speaker 1: that little girl was love completely missed a part where
Speaker 1: we actually may have made the most realistic rendering of
Speaker 1: a black hole possible on Yeah, yeah it was. It
Speaker 1: was dope at various parts. I just was very disappointed
Speaker 1: by that ending. Anyways, this fifth force is has a
Speaker 1: cooler name. It's MoU Is that right particles? The particle obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean like how the particle has been acting. Okay,
Speaker 1: I barely skimmed the article. I think it's like the
Speaker 1: way the particle was acting in uh in the like
Speaker 1: in that Fermi Lab experiment and some and I think
Speaker 1: it was confirmed by another lab. But it's uh the Yeah,
Speaker 1: the muan is the or yeah, um is the particle.
Speaker 1: But I think it indicated this fundamental force that you're
Speaker 1: telling me about, Yes, telling you about very eloquently and precisely, uh,
Speaker 1: using the most precise and scientific lang which possible. Listen.
Speaker 1: I love the fifth Fundamental Force. That was a great
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis movie. It was excellent on the one. Let's
Speaker 1: call the I can do that whole opera song from
Speaker 1: that from the really Yeah incredible, but that should be
Speaker 1: your next uh, your next intro song for TDT. Anyways,
Speaker 1: it probably won't affect our day to day lives in
Speaker 1: the near future, like it the jet packs to there,
Speaker 1: there's a like a stand what is it the standard
Speaker 1: model or something that they're saying this would kind of
Speaker 1: render obsolete, like the basically just our basic understanding of
Speaker 1: physics and forces and how they work. No light shakeup,
Speaker 1: light shake up. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, we got more billionaires
Speaker 1: baby uh Yeah. Pandemic drove a thirty percent increase of
Speaker 1: billionaires while a hundred and fifty million human beings were
Speaker 1: likely pushed in poverty. Yeah, but there's Yeah, Kim Kardashian
Speaker 1: now qualify as a billionaire, so that's big news. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just the the biggest increase in people in number
Speaker 1: of billionaires in the history of the world. And also
Speaker 1: like for the first time in twenty years, the number
Speaker 1: of people in poverty is going up instead of going down.
Speaker 1: But the biggest news is that Kylie Jenner is no
Speaker 1: longer a billionaire. So that's gotta hurt back down to
Speaker 1: like seven million. That's painful, you know, soon achiever in
Speaker 1: that family. Oh my god, she's a she's she's the
Speaker 1: first self unmade billion Oh my god. Anyways, we should
Speaker 1: arrest them all. This should be a list of people
Speaker 1: who all get arrested their money, just the normalize and
Speaker 1: give it to everybody who's not already a millionaire, just
Speaker 1: pets who like walks out of a Bentley. That should
Speaker 1: just be No, you're like, you know what, you get
Speaker 1: to pat their pockets? What do you got? Man? I
Speaker 1: love I love how like on Twitter people, because remember
Speaker 1: Kylie had that go fund me thing where she was
Speaker 1: like raising money for my makeup artist who got on
Speaker 1: a horrible car accident instead of just giving him money
Speaker 1: that I have um, and everybody got out at her
Speaker 1: and then people in the comments were like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't care how much money she has, let her
Speaker 1: spend her money the way she wants to, and it's
Speaker 1: like that's not her money, that's the slave wages she's
Speaker 1: paying the workers who are making her stuff. That's the
Speaker 1: whole American ideal right there. Yeah, well, but when I
Speaker 1: become a billionaire, then like people are going to take
Speaker 1: my money. I mean, come on, yeah, when you're a
Speaker 1: million yeah exactly, because uh yeah, just keep keep sipping
Speaker 1: on that and see where that gets you. Let's talk
Speaker 1: real quick, toxic positivity. This study, uh kind of I
Speaker 1: don't know, it hit extra hard with me because this
Speaker 1: is kind of what I was raised on, like the
Speaker 1: happiness is a choice type ship. And I feel that
Speaker 1: there's a new kind of article out from a psychiatrist
Speaker 1: or psychologist who's saying that, you know, this is a
Speaker 1: huge problem right now that like social media makes it
Speaker 1: extra hard to resist because you get these like hypercharged
Speaker 1: people who are going through like manic periods, are just
Speaker 1: like you know, are able to show you what things
Speaker 1: look like in their life for like twenty minutes at
Speaker 1: a time and edit out the time when they're resting,
Speaker 1: and they're just like I'm up every morning hustling I
Speaker 1: wake up at two in the morning to work out, uh,
Speaker 1: and you know, it just requires unsustainable levels of energy
Speaker 1: and hyper focus that eventually causes a crash. But those
Speaker 1: crashes get edited out of the reality on social media
Speaker 1: and it's bad for you. I love that this study happened.
Speaker 1: I love that they're taking down toxic positivity because I'm
Speaker 1: very toxically negative, and that's a win for my team.
Speaker 1: You know, Like I hate a lot of things and
Speaker 1: talk about fuck you happiness. My state of rest is unrest,
Speaker 1: and I just want more people to feel, you know,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of ship that's happening in this world.
Speaker 1: And if you're happy, you're not talking about it and
Speaker 1: you're not fixing it, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you're just you're fucking cross fitting your way past it.
Speaker 1: I love this. I love that this has proved me
Speaker 1: right in the most petty way possible. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: so this one case they talked about, they said she
Speaker 1: her style of thinking, like where it was just like,
Speaker 1: wake up and hustle girl, bust your way into being
Speaker 1: like happy. She was like it made me feel guilty
Speaker 1: when she felt any emotion other than happiness, or when
Speaker 1: she chose to rest and like, I just fully fully
Speaker 1: identify with that. That was like the first Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's just so weird. People they adopt these like thought
Speaker 1: operating systems off of social media of like grind mold
Speaker 1: that is based it's all fake, it's all an illusion.
Speaker 1: But then you go all in on it and allow
Speaker 1: yourself to be hollowed out by this useless ideology when
Speaker 1: really it's you. The whole key to this whole ship
Speaker 1: is taking care of yourself. It's taking care of yourself too.
Speaker 1: It's it's, yeah, you're supposed to take care of yourself,
Speaker 1: and they they're not doing that, but they're also not
Speaker 1: taking care of other people. Like a lot of these
Speaker 1: like this toxic positivity relies on other people, like keeping
Speaker 1: up with them, doing the work for them, doing emotional labor,
Speaker 1: doing stuff in the community so that they can those
Speaker 1: people can like keep grinding and being being ambitious and
Speaker 1: like you know, moving through it. Uh. And so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the toxic part is them not focusing on the
Speaker 1: leaks as the ship is sinking, like they're just like
Speaker 1: barreling forward. The Tim Ferris five hour work week where
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, you get to work five hours, well
Speaker 1: like other people are exploited for their labor and work
Speaker 1: full time, uh and get paid ship. Yeah, or you
Speaker 1: just exchange this idea of achieving or hustling rather than
Speaker 1: improving yourself addressing the deficiencies within yourself, trauma that you
Speaker 1: may have not addressed or worked through. That maybe fueling
Speaker 1: this grind. I don't know. There may be a lot
Speaker 1: there to look at internally, but yeah, just this, it's
Speaker 1: so weird to especially like in the pandemic, to still
Speaker 1: see like people post like that. I was like, what
Speaker 1: are y'all doing to yourself? This is not oh the
Speaker 1: same world even for uh what you know what? This
Speaker 1: this study about how toxic positivity is bad make me
Speaker 1: feel little bit more positive, you guys, it's worth yea
Speaker 1: again competive, just like this person who's saying like it
Speaker 1: was an anxiety inducing cycle, because a lot of this
Speaker 1: can happen, especially because social media just lets people go
Speaker 1: have runaway comparative living where everything becomes comparative. At my
Speaker 1: head like messed up from just being on social media
Speaker 1: all day, like for the during the entire quarantine, all
Speaker 1: you see is these numbers on social media and like
Speaker 1: what other people are doing on social media, and it
Speaker 1: literally took I went to the Echo Park protest and
Speaker 1: that was the first thing that I've gone to in
Speaker 1: a really long time while quarantining, and I was just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't even think I like that
Speaker 1: guy anymore. I was just like, it just got me
Speaker 1: out of it, just got me out of my head
Speaker 1: and my on the computer and stuff. It was, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's too much, too much, just let it go. And again,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing you say when you're getting
Speaker 1: down on yourself, just this is a very simple exercise
Speaker 1: to begin sort of breaking your habit of being so
Speaker 1: toxic and down on yourself is out loud say that
Speaker 1: things you're feeling bad about. So, in this instance of
Speaker 1: this person can be like, well, I'm not reaching my
Speaker 1: lofty goals that are damn near impossible. I feel guilty
Speaker 1: that I'm not happy. I need to work harder. If
Speaker 1: you're a home friend your homie said that to you,
Speaker 1: you would not be like, yeah, you're right, is wrong
Speaker 1: with you? You'd be like, whoa, whoa the funk? No,
Speaker 1: be easy, You're doing a lot right? Are you a
Speaker 1: bottle girl boss or girl popper, which one is it
Speaker 1: going to be? But I think at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you have to be able to extend that
Speaker 1: sort of same empathy to yourself that you would another person,
Speaker 1: because that's the thing not barely any of us are
Speaker 1: able to do, is to treat ourselves with that same kindness.
Speaker 1: And when you have some ideology like this going on,
Speaker 1: is doubly important that you get out of and be like, well,
Speaker 1: hold the funk up. I feel like it's demanding too much,
Speaker 1: and I think it's endemic in America. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's. Yeah, I think social media like makes
Speaker 1: it easier to observe and probably worse because it can
Speaker 1: be like a self fulfilling cycle. But I mean, this
Speaker 1: is like the very foundation of American thinking and American
Speaker 1: dysfunction is yeah, yeah, make yourself. You have to feel useful,
Speaker 1: and you have to feel you'll productive, and you have
Speaker 1: to feel like happiness is a means to feeling more
Speaker 1: productive as a means to happiness is and it's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why I yeah, that positive psychology should have like,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to at the other end of rather
Speaker 1: than saying that if I achieve this then I will
Speaker 1: be happy. Is to reverse the conditions to be happy,
Speaker 1: which is you'll start from a place of being able
Speaker 1: to be happy, and you'll quickly realize that you'll probably
Speaker 1: be able to succeed because you've re reordered things. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: Paula Vy, it has been such a pleasure as always
Speaker 1: having you on the show. Where can people find you
Speaker 1: and follow you? I'm at Paula Vegan Alan p A
Speaker 1: L l A v I g U n A l
Speaker 1: A n everywhere? Yeah, there it is? And is there
Speaker 1: a Twitter some of the work of social media you've
Speaker 1: been enjoying. Yes, my friend Christopher, he's a comedian and writer.
Speaker 1: He's super funny. He's at It's Christopher k r I
Speaker 1: S t O f e er. He had a tweet.
Speaker 1: I was like, send me your funniest tweet because I
Speaker 1: think his tweets are so great. He had a tweet
Speaker 1: that said, I transitioned to mail because I couldn't take
Speaker 1: wearing pants with those horrible tiny pockets any longer. Naturally,
Speaker 1: cutting off my breath was the only option. Miles Where
Speaker 1: can people find you? What's tweet been enjoying? Find me Twitter,
Speaker 1: Instagram at Miles of Gray and also force check us
Speaker 1: out over there. Some tweets that I like, Damn, there's
Speaker 1: a tweets are just so fucking good right now. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see. First, one is from uh, this is from
Speaker 1: Andrew at Andrey. Annie's a N D R I A

Speaker 1: me understood this completely differently l M F A O.
Speaker 1: And it's a TMZ quote tweet that says Demi Lovato
Speaker 1: says d m x O D scared her. It could
Speaker 1: have been me, so the d M O D scared me?
Speaker 1: Like anyway, he's always going od anyway, come on now. Uh.
Speaker 1: And one more is from just this like fucking moment
Speaker 1: from the view where it says thissus is just obsessed
Speaker 1: with this pivot and it's joy behard just talking and
Speaker 1: you just see how WHOOPI Goldberg comes out of this.
Speaker 1: They are dying from the disease. Okay. I don't see
Speaker 1: how the Democrats are supposed to convince the Republicans to
Speaker 1: get a brain going. Okay, okay, your hair looks amazing,
Speaker 1: by the way, We'll be right back. You know, Whoopy
Speaker 1: does not give a fun anymore. Dude, Every action for
Speaker 1: the like, Okay, your hair looks great. Joy after this
Speaker 1: boom uh some tweets I've been enjoying, Thank you man,
Speaker 1: God Blessed tweeted, I'm sing a big shift in friends,
Speaker 1: moving away from alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and towards the bright
Speaker 1: light emanating from the woods. The voice promising all the
Speaker 1: riches in the world has to offer, also coming from
Speaker 1: the woods, the delicious smell of something in the woods,
Speaker 1: and I like, uh. This tweet from Sophie gad uh
Speaker 1: that is accompanied by an actual photograph of this item
Speaker 1: from the grocery store. She said, baby, are you okay?
Speaker 1: You're You've barely touched your call of duty war zone
Speaker 1: pasta And it's a call of duty war zone packet
Speaker 1: of cheese and broccoli pasta and sauce with a soldier
