Speaker 1: life been like in the last year, Um, good, really good.
Speaker 1: I've been super productive. I wrote on a show, I
Speaker 1: sold a show. Damn right, I mean I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not surprised because you are a super hilarious and talented wright.
Speaker 1: But that's that's great, that's hell. Yeah. I I'm still
Speaker 1: like three years ago, I was working at a hospital,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's pretty wild. Yeah, it's like impostor
Speaker 1: syndrome sets in constantly, you know, Yeah, don't let right now,
Speaker 1: it's too late because you're there, so you are no impostor.
Speaker 1: You are no impostor. I have to like act the
Speaker 1: part now, and it's just like pretty I don't know
Speaker 1: I'm being Is it that you have to act the part?
Speaker 1: Or that you have to let go of those critical
Speaker 1: voices in your head? You know? That's it. It's not
Speaker 1: that you have to act differently, it's that you just
Speaker 1: have to change your mindset and ignore that that fucking nonsense.
Speaker 1: And you know that's always been like you sure it
Speaker 1: couldn't be funnier? Is this the funniest thing? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? It's like, no, no, I'm done because
Speaker 1: I'm here and it's validated. So you are useless now.
Speaker 1: None of us are surprised him. None of us are surprised.
Speaker 1: Hit me up, hit me up. I'll do this, I'll
Speaker 1: do this ship. I'll give this ship for free on
Speaker 1: the daily. You know what I mean. Please, I was
Speaker 1: going to start therapy. I'll just say, oh, yeah, is
Speaker 1: great for this. I get at least an hour and
Speaker 1: a half of this every morning just to get out
Speaker 1: of bed. It's me dragging Jack out of bed. Um,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Are you how do you feel about the
Speaker 1: world opening back up? Do you have any trepidation about
Speaker 1: that eventually happening in the next year? I really do.
Speaker 1: I wish we could stay at an in between where
Speaker 1: we get all the perks of being at home and
Speaker 1: then all the perks of not being at I think
Speaker 1: we should just take them. I think I don't think
Speaker 1: we should let people uh force us back into the
Speaker 1: before times when we felt pressured to go outside. And
Speaker 1: that's my biggest worry is like Miles doesn't go anywhere
Speaker 1: anymore because of the pandemic, Like he found that he
Speaker 1: could be a under rock dwelling podcast and he's taking
Speaker 1: all of his boxes need wise. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know I like, will you will you guys go back?
Speaker 1: I mean you'll you'll eventually go back to being in
Speaker 1: a studio, but do you want to? Yeah? On level.
Speaker 1: But also like I think of how much I've been
Speaker 1: able to like get a better balance of my time
Speaker 1: from not having to commute that I'm like, m I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like everybody's done a good job
Speaker 1: learning how to just talk to each other over a
Speaker 1: microphone from very far right. Yeah, yeah, it'll be nice
Speaker 1: to like go outside. I still I still notice myself
Speaker 1: like it being like a big event when I like
Speaker 1: drive to the store for the day. So like, I
Speaker 1: feel like that will be nice to like break up
Speaker 1: just like your sensory input or like my sensory input,
Speaker 1: so that like I actually am not just seeing the
Speaker 1: same five things, like the same five rooms only, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I will definitely uh not enjoy the extra time that's
Speaker 1: devoted to, you know, being in traffic or whatever. I
Speaker 1: started taking walks every morning, like and it's changed everything.
Speaker 1: I go to the park when there's no one around,
Speaker 1: I take my nose out of the mask and I
Speaker 1: breathe in, get it in. Damn. Yeah, no walks for sure,
Speaker 1: and you'd like to Jack's point of like seeing the
Speaker 1: same four rooms every day. I'm telling you, just go
Speaker 1: to a different supermarket, go to a different I'm serious,
Speaker 1: Just switch one weird thing, or drive a different way
Speaker 1: to the same place you go, or walk a different
Speaker 1: way to your park or whatever. Like it's these like
Speaker 1: little things you try and do to kind of optimize
Speaker 1: the like different ways of stimulation you used to get from,
Speaker 1: like driving and being like, hey, you motherfucker like streaming
Speaker 1: in your car, Like we don't have that anymore. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make up for that by like walking down
Speaker 1: another place that my street that my dog doesn't like
Speaker 1: because the pit bulls always try and kill him. But
Speaker 1: you know, I just do a silly walk in between
Speaker 1: the same four rooms, and that's what breaks it up
Speaker 1: for me. It's silly walk day rivers to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: right right, right, all right, Tam, We're going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. Uh, we're gonna to talk about
Speaker 1: this Greg Abbott, motherfucker. Uh. Just I don't want to
Speaker 1: ever have to say his name again, but I guess
Speaker 1: we have to. We're gonna talk about the relief Bill
Speaker 1: and some of the things, some of the allowances that
Speaker 1: are being made, Uh that are pretty cool. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about how the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: I checked out MSN dot com today, guys, Uh, and
Speaker 1: it is uh, it's wild. They're they're doing the holding
Speaker 1: Biden to a standard of bipartisanship. Uh. That is pretty
Speaker 1: startling and uh seems disingenuous at best. We'll talk about Cuomo,
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Philly, We'll talk about the new postal trucks,
Speaker 1: maybe some zombies, all of that plenty more. But first
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? Um?
Speaker 1: This one made me crack up because it was from
Speaker 1: last night and I don't remember it because I got
Speaker 1: super drunk. I googled mole cancer and I'm because I
Speaker 1: have this mole right here and I used to not
Speaker 1: have it. But it's like, what was I thinking? Was
Speaker 1: it going to give me like a search on my
Speaker 1: like a website over They're like, well, let me see,
Speaker 1: let me see, just not even like do moles like
Speaker 1: can they have answer, Yeah, that was I guess I
Speaker 1: black out and I, uh yeah. Or maybe you saw
Speaker 1: something about a mole the animal and heard about you know,
Speaker 1: the cancer like cancer hidden moles, and you're like, oh god,
Speaker 1: is there a foundation? Who what are we doing about
Speaker 1: mole cancer? Oh my god? Wait? And I have to
Speaker 1: tell you the one before that is an anaconductor old up,
Speaker 1: because I was this one that you're also finding out
Speaker 1: about this morning, or you know this one was. I
Speaker 1: remember it because I wanted to. I took a crap
Speaker 1: that looked like like an anaconda that was, you know, curly.
Speaker 1: I wanted to send my friend a picture of the
Speaker 1: crap and I wasn't gonna do that because that's gross.
Speaker 1: Instead I sent him a picture of an anaconda. That's
Speaker 1: gross picture I have. I have one friend who I
Speaker 1: won't name who. He's shameless with the turd picks, but
Speaker 1: it's always like a bit where he's like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: do you you got any you know anybody that's a plumber,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, what the folks going on? And
Speaker 1: then hit me with like the wild ship pick or
Speaker 1: be like oh dude, I just you know, just it's
Speaker 1: always some stupid set up and then the worst ship pick.
Speaker 1: But I always laugh and so it'll never stop. But
Speaker 1: I'm always like, yeah, I didn't need to see this,
Speaker 1: or like sometimes I get the text and them around
Speaker 1: people who don't know me, and they'll be like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker looking a straight ship picks. But yeah, dangerous game.
Speaker 1: I had a long time ago when I worked at
Speaker 1: the hospital, I sent my boss a picture by mistake,
Speaker 1: like the tiniest turn. That's actually yeah, usually people send
Speaker 1: like big ones, but like the tiniest is pretty just
Speaker 1: like a little speck, like a little pebble, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: a little rabbit poop. Yeah, yeah, that's whimsical. You know what.
Speaker 1: I like, what you're saying is fucking coiled anacondo. Like
Speaker 1: that's like I couldn't do that, Like I couldn't get
Speaker 1: to that level of taking a huge, huge pick. Yeah. Well.
Speaker 1: The other thing is like in poop taking culture, it's
Speaker 1: like you gotta take the photo before you wipe, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because you don't want to sully
Speaker 1: the frame with the toilet paper. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things you have to think of in ship pick sending culture.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that nut's so true and you
Speaker 1: can't you can't cover it up with toilet paper or
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, yeah, you don't want to or you
Speaker 1: don't want to see used for whatever. And my I've
Speaker 1: done this before because I'm like, oh, he wants to
Speaker 1: battle with ship picks, I got some for him. Get ready?
Speaker 1: You thought I was John Voden anacondom but to hit
Speaker 1: you with this pick. But the I really have those
Speaker 1: moments like, oh, yeah, that's too gross to see the
Speaker 1: used paper versus the actual extra forgetting right, that's true,
Speaker 1: that that seems grosser somehow, even though that ship's excrement
Speaker 1: photo um, excrement on paper though, Oh no, that's that
Speaker 1: evokes too many things like what's wrong with us? It
Speaker 1: makes sit real? Yeah right, right right, versus like something
Speaker 1: that was potentially an illustration subconscious Uh well that's what
Speaker 1: that's what's happening anyway. Shift photographer's phone in, do you
Speaker 1: sully the frame? How do you compose your poop picks?
Speaker 1: Because I look, I just know, like for dudes, it's
Speaker 1: just a stupid thing we have. As I I've talked
Speaker 1: about this before as a kid, like when I was
Speaker 1: six on Christmas, my dad got a cam quarter. The
Speaker 1: first video clip that's on there is me filming myself
Speaker 1: taking a ship and like other anecdotally my friends who
Speaker 1: have young sons, like they one of one was like
Speaker 1: potty training out of and like their friends, their other
Speaker 1: little friend was over and the friends like, oh, I
Speaker 1: want to watch him take a poop, and he was
Speaker 1: just like all up in and being like, oh so
Speaker 1: that's how you poohing the thing, huh. And they're like three,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, yeah, there's something about this, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm we're onto something as people. Yeah, my four year
Speaker 1: old is like it takes six seven flushes to get
Speaker 1: his poops down because he's like so far up on
Speaker 1: the seat that it's just like in the front, it's
Speaker 1: just a pile on the front. It doesn't on the front. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pile up front, Yeah, front piler, Yeah, front loader. I've
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of front piling during cold yeah front.
Speaker 1: But the ones that just ye sit yeah, just hit
Speaker 1: the yeah. Um, you look like a gravel mill coming
Speaker 1: off the belt, piling up all right, our our listeners.
Speaker 1: Since the Blippy episode, we spent like a half hour
Speaker 1: talking about Blippy shipping on his friend's chest and his
Speaker 1: ass on his naked ass. That's his naked as right, uh,
Speaker 1: written in an article BuzzFeed. Shout out to BuzzFeed, Uh, tam,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Overrated linen sheets?
Speaker 1: You know how they're in style now or whatever, like
Speaker 1: organic linen sheets that cost so much Like I got
Speaker 1: apparent they gave me a chappy ass. Yeah really yeah
Speaker 1: kind of yeah linen I mean person, I like it
Speaker 1: in the so I've had it in the summer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my friend who allowed me to sample
Speaker 1: uh some sheets and sample, I just mean gave me
Speaker 1: a pair that there sheets set that wasn't being used,
Speaker 1: but it felt the first time was cool. I think
Speaker 1: just because it's so different than like the really smooth
Speaker 1: sheets were used to So that little bit of texture
Speaker 1: I think in the beginning is cool, but it's not
Speaker 1: as it's not as cool, Like I feel like it's
Speaker 1: not as cool it people describe it as cool, but
Speaker 1: like because it's rough because there's texture there, don't get that. Like,
Speaker 1: but I think you and I are the shame Jack.
Speaker 1: We run hot, So I don't know what. I don't
Speaker 1: know what we could have covering up actress that wouldn't
Speaker 1: make me like this ship is too hot, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just need absorb it because I'm sweating through that ship.
Speaker 1: What well, you know now I'm thinking about it after
Speaker 1: the story you told mine weren't good quality. Mine were
Speaker 1: from targets, so I think mine were just like fake
Speaker 1: linen and that's why they gave me a chappy ass.
Speaker 1: Do you like before this? Did you ever like the
Speaker 1: synthetic like like those you know, straight up polyester, like
Speaker 1: those synthetic ones that were like ridiculously soft but like
Speaker 1: so plastic that if you kind of yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: do you they come out of the sides and they
Speaker 1: piss me off. Oh yeah, well, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it's just like a Actually, now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, I have the same set micro fiber Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you to Bruto Shanajosi. A microfiber or like like
Speaker 1: a shame that we clean the monitors with. Um No,
Speaker 1: but I think I had, you know what it is
Speaker 1: I have. I've had the same ship. I can't say
Speaker 1: sheet set sheets said since like my college years, and
Speaker 1: I remember her majesty would't allow me to buy a
Speaker 1: newer version because like you already got your cheap ass,
Speaker 1: Like what are the T shirt kind? They're like but
Speaker 1: like they're I mean in between like that one and
Speaker 1: like yeah, but like micro jersey you know what I mean. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's like a T shirt. It's like they made my
Speaker 1: sheets up a T shirt. Dude, It's amazing. But it's
Speaker 1: also like what you'd wear anyway. I love those, you know,
Speaker 1: like actually that those might be my favorite, those jersey
Speaker 1: cotton sheets that are I mean, what's I mean at
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what's good or what's bad?
Speaker 1: You know, Like it's all about what we want on
Speaker 1: our skin. So if you want to if you want
Speaker 1: the if you want the pile of gauze to absorb
Speaker 1: your sweat and do that. There he is making me
Speaker 1: feel better again. On the same page, I mean an
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome, Like they they have all these like microfibers
Speaker 1: and like you know, uh, human created like Polly blends
Speaker 1: and ship that it like will make it so if
Speaker 1: you spell water on your sheets, like the water will
Speaker 1: just like fall right off and ship. But like I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like there's a direction they can go,
Speaker 1: Like the combination of you know, we need to we
Speaker 1: need to Steve jobs of sheets, who can like just
Speaker 1: come up with the coolest, most comfortable sheet, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like we're leaving it up to scientists and all
Speaker 1: they can do is be like, look, it doesn't absorb water,
Speaker 1: but like they're not they don't bring the human aspect.
Speaker 1: We and somebody who is, uh, who's gonna figure out
Speaker 1: the best, the coolest, the softest sheets possible. I love
Speaker 1: the idea of the water slipping like not being absorbed, Like,
Speaker 1: then come wouldn't be absorbed either, right, You just have
Speaker 1: pebbles of come sitting on your sheets until you wipe
Speaker 1: it off, beating everywhere the sheets in different places because
Speaker 1: it's so hydrophobic. I'm always getting mad at my husband
Speaker 1: for for like staining our would come and that would
Speaker 1: really solve the marital We should just say it. Well,
Speaker 1: if not, then it's going to be back on top
Speaker 1: of garbage bags like it used to be. If you
Speaker 1: can't funk like an adult, we're working on those black
Speaker 1: construction bags, okay. Uh? And what is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Looking like ship is underrated? Like what's up
Speaker 1: with like on Instagram? Like all these things to make
Speaker 1: you look better and stuff like I had a week
Speaker 1: last week of looking like ship and I was so
Speaker 1: fucking happy and giggly and it was like looking at
Speaker 1: the like today I have. I just got this haircut
Speaker 1: which is kind of a mullet, which is cool when
Speaker 1: I like, you know, it looks good punk I like,
Speaker 1: but if I don't put product and stuff, it justs
Speaker 1: straight up I look like Eileen Warns type, you know,
Speaker 1: like again, oh man, please she Charlie's there and played her.
Speaker 1: She looks a disaster. Give me the Yeah. I looked
Speaker 1: like that for an entire week. And that was my
Speaker 1: giggly week. And my husband was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't like you're not trying, but but you're happy.
Speaker 1: You can't look at you but but it was great.
Speaker 1: It was my favorite week in a long time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's empowering. That's why I think. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm hoping that there's something about fashion that
Speaker 1: changes as a result of us like taking you know,
Speaker 1: a year plus of not having to dress to impress
Speaker 1: that like if there's another like a movement that comes
Speaker 1: out of it called like shit wave, Like I mean
Speaker 1: that's what norm core is, isn't it. Like that's when
Speaker 1: I went to Berlin. It was like people try to
Speaker 1: look ship. Yeah, but now I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like it's more it's like jazz baby, like there's no
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason to it, Like you gotta come out
Speaker 1: just feeling playing your own first. Yeah, a comforter around exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just wrapped around your head, or like if it's raining,
Speaker 1: you wear one of those translucent like bags your sheet
Speaker 1: sets come in just on top of your head, like umbrella.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh man, look at that ship wave umbrella
Speaker 1: you got. I love you guys. I mean, are people
Speaker 1: Are people going to be wearing like uncomfortable clothes again?
Speaker 1: I can't imagine like wearing a like I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess there's still people who are wearing suits to work
Speaker 1: and ship right now, which is yeah, who wears I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean is there I mean, personally, is
Speaker 1: there anything that you've looked at your own clothing said,
Speaker 1: you know what now that through this pandemic, I'm never
Speaker 1: wearing that again. I don't think I have I dressed
Speaker 1: so I dressed so comfortably. In general, it's more like
Speaker 1: I'm only going to wear like these three hoodies now forever,
Speaker 1: not the not the scratchy hoodie exactly. Not long ago,
Speaker 1: it was my sister's birthday, and I don't know what
Speaker 1: happened to me, but I bought her this like vinyl
Speaker 1: dress and she opened it. I saw it in her
Speaker 1: face and I said, why the fund did I buy?
Speaker 1: We just all started. I was like, you're never gonna
Speaker 1: wear that? And she was like never, like lateext and
Speaker 1: the worst. I also fought her to wear with the
Speaker 1: late text dress this like heavy gold chain. You just
Speaker 1: have a very specific vision for your sister, that ship.
Speaker 1: She hasn't quite realized for herself yet. But like I
Speaker 1: feel that like when you're giving a gift, like it's
Speaker 1: like watching a movie that you recommended with someone you
Speaker 1: can't fully appreciate, Like like you you start feeling like
Speaker 1: insecure about it, and like that's when you really have
Speaker 1: an idea of it. Like I feel like a gift,
Speaker 1: I don't fully like understand how good or bad the
Speaker 1: gift is until the person is about to open it,
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, ship, they're gonna hate this. Just
Speaker 1: so nervous too, or like you're kind of putting it
Speaker 1: together at the zero hour. Actually not that, uh oh man.
Speaker 1: That to your gift. Yeah, yeah, actually, don't open it.
Speaker 1: Don't open it. No, it's it's so true though. I
Speaker 1: got my friend, we had a gift exchange for Christmas,
Speaker 1: and I got him a set of Fraggle Rock stuff
Speaker 1: d animals. I mean, that's how it does. But it's
Speaker 1: like he just moved into a new, nice apartment and
Speaker 1: they're like large, and it was all the battle. You're
Speaker 1: gonna need a room for this. You're gonna need a
Speaker 1: fraggle room. That's amazing. They're bringing Fraggle Rock back for
Speaker 1: I think HBO exciting times. I'm into it, not into reboots,
Speaker 1: but this one I think they're going to do right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think when they like bring the Muppets back or
Speaker 1: the Fraggles or like, it's usually fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're prog over all. Right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and talk about some bullshit.
Speaker 1: And we're back and Greg Abbott is back in the news.
Speaker 1: The numbers in Texas we're going down, but they were
Speaker 1: not good. Uh and still higher than national averages. But
Speaker 1: he's like, not, we're taking the masks away. Uh. And
Speaker 1: now he's got an excuse for He's like preceding uh,
Speaker 1: an excuse for why the numbers are about to go up. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean every expert has pointed out to It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, Governor Abbott, every time you've relaxed mandates, cases
Speaker 1: spiked without fail. It's like it's almost like the mandates
Speaker 1: helped keep the numbers down because of science. And when
Speaker 1: you we're forget it, we're explaining too much to him anyway.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think one can only imagine what
Speaker 1: potentially hospitals could look like in a few weeks as
Speaker 1: people start like I've seen photos people already mask off
Speaker 1: bar hopping uh and it's an interesting site. Um. But again,
Speaker 1: before before the blame could get to him for his decision,
Speaker 1: the real culprit is here we go. Quote. The Biden
Speaker 1: administration has been releasing immigrants in South Texas that have
Speaker 1: been exposing Texans to COVID. Some of these people him,
Speaker 1: that's a quote from him. Some of these people have
Speaker 1: been put on busses taking that COVID to other states
Speaker 1: in the United States. That is Neanderthal type approach to
Speaker 1: dealing with the COVID situation. End quote. So racism is
Speaker 1: the defense again because they just want to go full
Speaker 1: you know, it's the literal Nazi finger pointing and that
Speaker 1: like it's the sick outsiders who are trying to sully
Speaker 1: our good state and nation and not because you know
Speaker 1: he's the governor. Um. One other interesting thing about that
Speaker 1: for all that talk about immigrants, First of all, the
Speaker 1: auction rates are even lower for groups of migrants that
Speaker 1: they've released and have been testing because n g os
Speaker 1: have been testing. Because here's the other thing. There has
Speaker 1: been uh DHS federal money that was earmarked for Texas
Speaker 1: to conducts testing on migrants because of that's just COVID protocol.
Speaker 1: The thing is when he says, oh, they've just been
Speaker 1: releasing people, what he doesn't tell you is that Governor
Speaker 1: Abbott has refused to release the federal funds that he
Speaker 1: has received to test migrants and just folded that into
Speaker 1: his narrative like oh, yeah, see, like they're just they're
Speaker 1: not testing them and then they're putting them on us
Speaker 1: and blah blah, without saying I'm withholding the money. I'm
Speaker 1: the one not doing this and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell people either because I need this narrative to blame
Speaker 1: others rather than the decisions of myself as governor. I
Speaker 1: could smash something. I feel a rage of burning, fucking rage.
Speaker 1: And one weird thing I read today is my Elmore's
Speaker 1: tweet I don't know if you guys saw it about
Speaker 1: this whole thing, saying withhold vaccines from Texans, all of
Speaker 1: Texans because of this, Like so it's just like every
Speaker 1: it's all infuriating. Yeah, people are are absolutely losing their
Speaker 1: sense of humanity here, like on every side, because it's
Speaker 1: like on one people are like not knowing how to
Speaker 1: process their ship depending on your idea ideological bed. And
Speaker 1: now it's like, well this guy did it, every Texan punished. Um, well, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's not actually a good policy in
Speaker 1: general to lump people together as this monolith. And on
Speaker 1: top of it too, there's this other A lot of
Speaker 1: the experts are pointing out that, you know, I know,
Speaker 1: we're talking about herd immunity and vaccines are coming out,
Speaker 1: and that's another thing that's coming like working into the
Speaker 1: logic of reopening. But the efficacy trials, those are based
Speaker 1: on societies, worlds where people are wearing masks, respecting social distancing.
Speaker 1: All of those figure into how those models play out,
Speaker 1: not oh, if you got this, let it rip. It's
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, Those efficacy numbers are based on
Speaker 1: other people also doing the right thing. So if you
Speaker 1: just do this, you're not gonna see the same effectiveness
Speaker 1: or you'll make You'll probably just because we're seeing more
Speaker 1: cases and that allows the virus to mutate even more
Speaker 1: people who could be vaccinated and also getting severe cases
Speaker 1: of COVID themselves. So it's there's nothing good about any
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, it's a it's and its Yeah. There
Speaker 1: was this article on the front page of MSN where
Speaker 1: I get all my news, uh, and they just like
Speaker 1: aggregate shipped from like USA today and this headline is
Speaker 1: Biden COVID stimulus bill. Why relief legislation is so partisan?
Speaker 1: Like basically asking like why aren't Republicans supporting this, Like
Speaker 1: it's just recovering politics, like it's nineteen eighty six, and
Speaker 1: like that the Republican Party hasn't you know, outed itself
Speaker 1: as a complete death cult. Um. It starts from the
Speaker 1: assumption that the Republicans have like valid reasons for objecting
Speaker 1: to the relief bill, and like not being able to
Speaker 1: get a single Republican vote is like based on something,
Speaker 1: and they they're like what happened Biden like ran as
Speaker 1: the uniter in chief, Like just the idea that you
Speaker 1: would you would still treat like unity as a goal
Speaker 1: with the Republican Party when they are Yeah, they're just
Speaker 1: straight up like there's no good faith argument anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just being evil out in the open. There's not
Speaker 1: one thing that they've there's not one counter proposal that
Speaker 1: has made anybody like, oh that's an interesting way to
Speaker 1: help people. It's all like, oh, that's a real creative
Speaker 1: way to fuck people over. That's all it is. And
Speaker 1: like even the way this article starts. Republican senators have
Speaker 1: described President Biden's COVID nineteen Simius plan as a quote
Speaker 1: clunker quote bad politics and quote wildly expensive. Like don't
Speaker 1: take that as being like those are a good descriptions.
Speaker 1: That's just fucking lame. Asked cover for them to say
Speaker 1: they don't want to help fucking anyone and like like
Speaker 1: this wonky terminology to just be like wildly expensive. How
Speaker 1: about I'm fine, you know, knowing people with people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if the bill makes it through it this is a quote.
Speaker 1: If the bill makes it through Congress with only Democratic support.
Speaker 1: It would stand out from the COVID relief plans Congress
Speaker 1: passed over the last year. When it's like they're using
Speaker 1: the Republicans are using the humanity of the other side
Speaker 1: against them as a weapon in this article is just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, I don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: with these Democrats. They can't get the Republicans on board. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's fucked up. And this is again
Speaker 1: when if you're someone who's not as engaged with the
Speaker 1: news and then you, let's say, you just go, oh,
Speaker 1: what's what's this regular website I go to telling me
Speaker 1: they're going to if you're not thinking very critically, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, ah, man, they just can't get along, man, Like,
Speaker 1: why can't the Republicans meet with their Democrats on this
Speaker 1: and vice versa versus being like Republicans have shown themselves
Speaker 1: to be obstructionists of all progress for decades. Now this
Speaker 1: is part and Parcela And that's an objective observation, but
Speaker 1: that's where things I think, because by doing that, people
Speaker 1: like it's so partisan. Now it's like, well, I think
Speaker 1: you've everyone's just kind of lost their ability to try
Speaker 1: and look at is this helping or harming? And going
Speaker 1: from their versus left or right or red or blue.
Speaker 1: It's wild. I was reading an article about COVID and
Speaker 1: it was like CNN or something like that, and the
Speaker 1: title was COVID vaccines caused symptoms of breast cancer. And
Speaker 1: it's like, that's the fucking title. So it's click bait
Speaker 1: clearly because when you read the article goal it says
Speaker 1: like it can. Basically it can if you get a
Speaker 1: mamogram like right after getting a vaccine. It kind of
Speaker 1: like replicates, but it doesn't. It's not real. It just
Speaker 1: like replicates what you know exactly. I can't describe it well,
Speaker 1: but it's like it wasn't true, and so a person
Speaker 1: will just scroll through that and be like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not getting the vaccine, so like just for clickbait, you know.
Speaker 1: The way this was described. And one of the ways
Speaker 1: that like those article titles are generated is they'll like
Speaker 1: put fifty into fifty different titles for the same article
Speaker 1: into like an algorithm and then just see like which
Speaker 1: one is getting the most cliques, uh, and that will
Speaker 1: be the title that they go with. And yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's like I see that all the time with articles
Speaker 1: where the implication is something that's actually not in the article,
Speaker 1: but clearly it is like the one of any article
Speaker 1: titles that was like getting the most heat, the most
Speaker 1: people to click on it, and so yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: engineered to make you click. It has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with conveying information, almost as if capitalism is a is
Speaker 1: a bad way to organize news. Almost as I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like, Miles, don't you have some sort of solution? Yeah, Miles,
Speaker 1: what I mean, Look earlier, I'm talking about whether or
Speaker 1: not you put used toilet paper in your ship picks. Uh,
Speaker 1: well let's start there and maybe build correct the third estate. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, honestly, it's the issue is
Speaker 1: just like we just have a real problem with the
Speaker 1: people who are at the levers and the gates of
Speaker 1: mainstream media are just of an elite class who are
Speaker 1: unable to convey clearly what is happening from a perspective
Speaker 1: that isn't just intrinsically tied with like their existence of
Speaker 1: being elites, because it cannot it can never be too
Speaker 1: critical or else. It's like it's like a snail, like
Speaker 1: putting salt on themselves, you know, Like it's just it's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, because I think to really report the
Speaker 1: news the way it could it could or should be
Speaker 1: right now, because they'd have to put the magnifying glass
Speaker 1: on themselves more. And since that isn't gonna happen, just
Speaker 1: just keep on with business as usual and business as
Speaker 1: usual as like, look, now we just have to cater
Speaker 1: to two groups of consumers, consumers on the right and
Speaker 1: consumers on the left, and then those are the two
Speaker 1: versions of news. And yeah, it really helps no one
Speaker 1: in the end, and it forces people to start like
Speaker 1: searching on their own or others not to search at all,
Speaker 1: and then just get caught into this like really lame
Speaker 1: narrative that the mainstream media puts out where like nothing
Speaker 1: can really change, and like you shouldn't really be that
Speaker 1: angry too, because the tone of all these articles like
Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, like so much partisanship rather than
Speaker 1: like look at the violent wealth in the ality here
Speaker 1: and ways that we could tackle this as a country,
Speaker 1: you know, or but that's too radical. It honestly helps
Speaker 1: to hear someone just like break it down. It helps
Speaker 1: with my rage at least. Yeah, I feel you someone
Speaker 1: who deals in a rage on a daily basis, like,
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep looking at this ship and be like,
Speaker 1: when are we going to figure it out? I wonder
Speaker 1: people got to figure it out? But I mean the
Speaker 1: hope that I do have is that it seems that
Speaker 1: we're further along with the sort of class consciousness that
Speaker 1: I didn't think was going to exist at this point.
Speaker 1: But it's still are we at that tipping point? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know there's good signs about like Amazon warehouses and
Speaker 1: like the unionization efforts starting to really kind of catch
Speaker 1: steam all over the place at our pace that even
Speaker 1: like I was like, oh, what are we gonna do? Um?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. It's we'll see. I mean, because
Speaker 1: if we keep having articles like this, people are gonna
Speaker 1: go to the polls in the mid terms without any
Speaker 1: real sense of why the why the country is the
Speaker 1: way it is, and they're gonna be like, fucking democrats
Speaker 1: fifted and then they're going to vote for fascists. And
Speaker 1: I mean that's the ship that like democrats read is
Speaker 1: the mainstream media like that. I feel like democrats in
Speaker 1: the mainstream media are inside the same like kind of worldview.
Speaker 1: So they are. That's like the poison that they're being
Speaker 1: fed is like we gotta be bipartisan, we gotta like
Speaker 1: come around and get the get the Republicans on board.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's like watching somebody who's dad is
Speaker 1: never going to like who's just got the most toxic
Speaker 1: relationship with somebody and just just dying to get their approval.
Speaker 1: It's just never never going to happen, like by design
Speaker 1: they are withholding their approval. There is one positive little
Speaker 1: sliver of news about the relief bill, right Stimulan Democrats
Speaker 1: listened to something is probably yeah, and I mean like
Speaker 1: economists just just very narrowly and I'll just because we
Speaker 1: could go through the whole bill and cry our eyes up.
Speaker 1: But um, the a lot of economists have been warning, hey,
Speaker 1: if you don't add some kind of tax relief measure
Speaker 1: to this next stimulus bill, millions of people are going
Speaker 1: to face like a real significant tax bill for the
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits they received in um and they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we don't know what to do. And they're like, hold
Speaker 1: on you, You're gonna force these people to pay taxes
Speaker 1: on top of the like being out of the job.
Speaker 1: Like this is ridiculous. Luckily, there's now a new provision
Speaker 1: being added that would forgive taxes on the first ten thousand,
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars of unemployment UM, which is better than
Speaker 1: actually forcing people to pay taxes on it. And also
Speaker 1: it would also keep the federal unemployment benefits at three hundred,
Speaker 1: although most people were like, can we get four? That
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a lot more, and also extend the
Speaker 1: program through October four. I think the idea with the
Speaker 1: three hundred is again Joe Mansion's fucking dumbass, the bell
Speaker 1: of the fucory ball is able to funk around and
Speaker 1: be like, well, I don't don't, I'll vote for it,
Speaker 1: and again Democrats rolling over. I guess so they can
Speaker 1: avoid having him side with Republicans in the floor vote.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so at least, uh, they've they've done that.
Speaker 1: But just keep building on momentum of like, you know, Democrats,
Speaker 1: there's a tip just keep front of mine. Help people.
Speaker 1: That'll that's like, that'll that'll get votes. Help but no
Speaker 1: help um never help people. Help people. Joe Manson's daughter
Speaker 1: is the one who's like a a pharmaceutical exact right,
Speaker 1: Oh is it him? I believe so yeah, I hate
Speaker 1: that faced so much. Yeah, well and he's all I mean,
Speaker 1: he himself is just an absolute scum lord as well.
Speaker 1: Like it's he's also been he's had his own time, uh,
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of things. But yeah, it's this is
Speaker 1: again when we have situations where you have like like
Speaker 1: these Dino type senators who are yeah Democrats, like when
Speaker 1: you're filling out your application, but like what you're again,
Speaker 1: you're voting with Republicans on this because he wants to
Speaker 1: stay in office, and that's just what it is. So yeah,
Speaker 1: she is the CEO of Netherlands based pharmaceutical company Mylon.
Speaker 1: This is just something that I in reading about Michael Tubbs,
Speaker 1: the mayor of Stockton who got the universal basic income
Speaker 1: experiment passed through and then lost his reelection even though
Speaker 1: he like should have wanted easily. It was just very frustrating.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's like anybody who is in power as
Speaker 1: a Democrat, like they have like he went Michael Tubbs
Speaker 1: went to stand Ford and uh is like good friends
Speaker 1: with all these tech CEOs and like Joe Manchin's daughter
Speaker 1: is like a ceo. I just feel like there's this
Speaker 1: way that all the people in power. For the Democrats
Speaker 1: are insulated from the people, you know, they just have
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden happens to become the nominee and he's
Speaker 1: like the credit card company's favorite politician of all times.
Speaker 1: Just like um that I think that that seems to
Speaker 1: be just like the way that, like when we talk
Speaker 1: about capitalism being an ai that protects itself, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's one of the ways that a million different
Speaker 1: paper cuts get in there and find a way to
Speaker 1: make sure that these people are absorbing the ideology of
Speaker 1: you know, that class of people protecting themselves and protecting
Speaker 1: their wealth. So, yeah, corporate ocracy is an apt description,
Speaker 1: you know on some level, like it's so intertwined with
Speaker 1: each other. And yeah, just by going just by knowing
Speaker 1: someone who is a CEO, they're like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: if you know a CEO that you can't then you're
Speaker 1: not you're not on song raw Rod COMMI share Fest bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just having dinner with a CEO is gonna make you
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna hear their point of view for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And Andrew Cuomo back in the News
Speaker 1: back at it again. Damn Andrew. So he one of
Speaker 1: his aids Daniel. I know, but it's Andrew Cuomo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a damn Daniel bag. Oh Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo
Speaker 1: got it. Andrew Cuomo got it. Wait what is his name? Now?
Speaker 1: I feel crazy? Cuomo. Also, Damn Daniel is not a
Speaker 1: cool reference, like not not not cool at all. Anyways,
Speaker 1: one of his former is Charlotte Bennett is accusing him
Speaker 1: of sexual harassment, and and we're getting like a lot
Speaker 1: of detail and it's basically textbook grooming predator ship. He
Speaker 1: first of all is like a rage of monster around
Speaker 1: the office. But then we'll be like very kind and
Speaker 1: sensitive to her. And then when they were alone, after
Speaker 1: like a year of him being like, you know, playing
Speaker 1: favorites and being really polite and nice to her, he
Speaker 1: started asking her about her sex life, asked if she
Speaker 1: was monogamous, asked if she'd ever had sex with an
Speaker 1: older man. Um uh. And then he told her in
Speaker 1: a followed meeting that he's lonely. And then when she
Speaker 1: was like, well, your daughters are around like trying to
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't take that message
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, his response, Yeah, but I want a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: And then he had a follow up meeting with her
Speaker 1: was where he was like, yeah, how are you doing
Speaker 1: on the girlfriend front? You find me a girlfriend? Um.
Speaker 1: And then another way that his aids are in the
Speaker 1: news and New York Times report at the end of
Speaker 1: last week found that his aids literally rewrote a report
Speaker 1: to cover up nine thousand, two hundred and fifty nursing
Speaker 1: home deaths at the beginning of the pandemic UH and
Speaker 1: the way he and his UH team have tried to
Speaker 1: explain away the you know, mischaracterization of the number of
Speaker 1: deaths and like height covering up deaths would never good
Speaker 1: when when you're covering up a single death, that's usually
Speaker 1: the behavior of someone who's uh, not nailing it in
Speaker 1: the hole, not killing people. Hey, Jack's how many how
Speaker 1: many deaths have you have to cover up? Definitely under
Speaker 1: nine thousand, cam would be my guess one, okay, which
Speaker 1: is always like if you just look at it as
Speaker 1: just when covering up just one down, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're a murderer. It's weird because the numbers are so
Speaker 1: mind blowing, right right, Okay, I'm sorry, but go on,
Speaker 1: but um, so they had always been like, yeah, but
Speaker 1: we're doing it because Trump wouldn't give us funding if
Speaker 1: he like found out the full numbers. Well, this was
Speaker 1: happening well before the federal government was even talking about
Speaker 1: being involved or asking for state level data. It was
Speaker 1: omitted from reports being circulated within the state. Uh so
Speaker 1: that goes out the window. And again, these are people.
Speaker 1: This is not could not there's no possible like explanation
Speaker 1: for this that like, oh, we didn't want people to panic.
Speaker 1: These are people who are like hidden away from view,
Speaker 1: who are dying while being hitten away from you, and
Speaker 1: you're trying to hide their deaths from people, Like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: just I mean, like I think, just a thought experiment.
Speaker 1: Imagine if Andrew Cuomo tried to cover up the fact
Speaker 1: that one of your loved ones died like that, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, And you'd like, the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: And on top of just a quick number crunch, you
Speaker 1: talk about even one covering up one murder one death
Speaker 1: is some wildly problematic, yeah, fucked up murderer type ship.
Speaker 1: Imagine if Andrew Cuomo had to cover up one death
Speaker 1: a day from this nine nine thousand, two hundred fifty,
Speaker 1: he would be he would be covering up with death
Speaker 1: every day for twenty five years to get to that number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exhausting, but you do it in one go because
Speaker 1: it's all about being the fucking you know, COVID goat.
Speaker 1: Oh you know in the early part of the pandemic. Um.
Speaker 1: I watched his press conference this week and when he
Speaker 1: announced it, I was like, oh, ship, is he going
Speaker 1: to resign? And then obviously didn't resign, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm so stupid. He didn't even talk about you didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk about it because there's an investigation going on,
Speaker 1: and he was just like, oh, you know, Yeah, lawyers
Speaker 1: told me I shouldn't even be saying this to you
Speaker 1: right now, but uh, what do they know, I'm a
Speaker 1: lawyer to baby. Charlotte Bennett also said that she felt
Speaker 1: like he became more emboldened once he became like started
Speaker 1: getting national attention for how well he was handling the
Speaker 1: COVID thing. And also he wrote a book about how
Speaker 1: well he was covering the COVID thing, uh doing the
Speaker 1: covid uh thing, like while the pandemic was still happening,
Speaker 1: which is one of the all time, all time dickhead moves. Well,
Speaker 1: if you ask my mom, she would say, I know
Speaker 1: of him. Oh really, yeah, well, you know she's just
Speaker 1: like sixties obvious, like democrat, and she's just like finds
Speaker 1: him to be super handsome and like doesn't do you know,
Speaker 1: doesn't read more than you know, and just love it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think when you just look at like because I
Speaker 1: think most people look at politicians as like movie characters
Speaker 1: that only exist in the reality of what they're saying
Speaker 1: in that moment on TV, rather than like, who is
Speaker 1: this Andrew Cuomo person? Right? You know, because I think
Speaker 1: and that's why people have these really interesting pair of
Speaker 1: social relationships with politicians too, because like on some level,
Speaker 1: it's like it's that thing that I like that I'm
Speaker 1: sure that on some level the politics maybe resonate with
Speaker 1: you that give you a connection. But then on another
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, hold on, these are let's not let's
Speaker 1: be real. Most of these people should not be in
Speaker 1: office if we're talking about running a country or state
Speaker 1: or municipality humanely. Um. But yeah, I think there was
Speaker 1: one person I felt like on Twitter that was sort
Speaker 1: of like, I'm sorry, I was so regret just like standing,
Speaker 1: you know, Cuomo at the beginning of the pandemic, Like
Speaker 1: in hindsight, I realized just fucking Stockholm syndrome. Um, But yeah,
Speaker 1: there was that whole wave of people like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: the governor bay right, I mean our whole our whole
Speaker 1: culture right now is designed to like you know, build up,
Speaker 1: like make people choose sides and then have like a
Speaker 1: figurehead who's like our guy there guys trump, our guys
Speaker 1: Cuomo or Foucier you know whoever. Like that's just I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't blame the people as much as
Speaker 1: you know, it's a just a fun no, not at all.
Speaker 1: But I think most people I've credit to someone who
Speaker 1: can like sort of look back and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's what that's going on with me, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: they're other people like I'm sure my mom if I
Speaker 1: asked like, hey, what do you think, like he's bad,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you watching CNN? Yes, he does
Speaker 1: look like a actual movie villain, Like he would be
Speaker 1: a perfect He looks like the if they photoshopped when
Speaker 1: Dorian puts the mask on, in the mask to like
Speaker 1: less green and like a what do we think of
Speaker 1: his brother Fred? Like what is his name? I'm Chris Link,
Speaker 1: Chris Christof. Yeah, Christopher, he's a fucking hack too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's a fred Freddy jackass. I'm sorry the second
Speaker 1: you say calling me Fredo is a racial slur, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you to the side, Sir. Don't ever
Speaker 1: need to hear anything out of your mouth again. If
Speaker 1: that's your critical thought in that moment is like, Yo,
Speaker 1: referencing a Godfather character is like a racial slur. Fam.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, how delicate your ego is, sir? Please
Speaker 1: tell us, Please tell us critically, report critically about what's
Speaker 1: happening in your brother's state. Yeah, but but definitely a hottie, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my mom wants to suck and fucking for sure. Oh mo,
Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo. I think she wouldn't both both bros. Are
Speaker 1: there only two brothers? Actually, those videos them fighting is
Speaker 1: my favorite thing ever though, of them fighting about who
Speaker 1: loves their mother more like on Oh yeah, Jesus christ,
Speaker 1: you shut your mouth. I love mother more. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: let's change gears and talk about There's an article in
Speaker 1: the Herald Media last week about how zombie movies are
Speaker 1: taking over in Korea. Right now or have been I
Speaker 1: guess for the past couple of decades, and they're basically
Speaker 1: predicting that it's coming back in America. There's a remake
Speaker 1: of Trained to Bousong coming to Hollywood that's going to
Speaker 1: they're predicting might kick off the next wave of zombie movies. Um,
Speaker 1: which that we've talked before about how like when a
Speaker 1: Republican is in office, there's an uptick in zombie movies
Speaker 1: because zombies, like just the mindless, groaning hordes is how
Speaker 1: Democrats view the Republicans. And then when there's a Democrat
Speaker 1: in office, there's an uptick in vampire movies because like
Speaker 1: euro like sexual accented deviance is how Republicans view democrats.
Speaker 1: Um but I feel like I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: now that we are now that Trump happened, like all
Speaker 1: bets are off. It's like we don't need a Republican
Speaker 1: to be in office to be afraid of of the
Speaker 1: people around us. I mean, fucking the January six look
Speaker 1: like fucking World War Z in a way, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. We just saw this fucking flow of bodies,
Speaker 1: just like what the fun is going on here? It's
Speaker 1: actual zombies like all of like those viral videos of
Speaker 1: people like banging on doors like let me in without
Speaker 1: a mask or whatever like zombies. Yeah, I'm actually kind
Speaker 1: of suppressed. Like this article made me surprised that zombie
Speaker 1: movies haven't like started blowing up even more, like more
Speaker 1: haven't been coming out in the past. Like first of all,
Speaker 1: it's just ahead of the game and always Yeah, has
Speaker 1: I've seen Kingdom on Netflix? That series? No, Yo, this
Speaker 1: ship is dope. It's like a it's like a period
Speaker 1: like thriller piece, uh like where it's like old school Korea.
Speaker 1: But then there's zombies on top of that ship. It's
Speaker 1: that ship is wild. Um. But yeah, check out on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I'm like only through the first couple episodes. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like something I think, yeah, that they're sensing something
Speaker 1: clearly that because I feel like, yeah, the more we
Speaker 1: look at like our news, I'm also finding myself like
Speaker 1: interested in zombie content again. Like I was like trying
Speaker 1: to like find this game I just play Left for
Speaker 1: Dead where you're it's like four people fighting a bunch
Speaker 1: of zombies. I'm like, that's just tight um, And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think because I feel, yeah, there's on some level
Speaker 1: there's like this feeling of like is it me and
Speaker 1: a few other people, and then a lot of nonsense around,
Speaker 1: right right, But also like they're starting to be so
Speaker 1: realistic like zombies in movies, Like they seem so much
Speaker 1: like people that I feel like they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: give them something, like they're gonna have to like start
Speaker 1: flying or something, you know, right right, yeah, yeah, some
Speaker 1: other power that to differentiate them from real people. The
Speaker 1: ability to cancel anyone. Oh my god, don't go there, Miles,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. On top of fearing that they're the
Speaker 1: four people fearing that they're going to get eaten by zombies,
Speaker 1: they also fear that the zombies will cancel. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: what's worse. They're like, no, they might eat like they
Speaker 1: can cancel you though, well hold on, that's that's the
Speaker 1: less of a threat to you. Maybe, yeah, to you,
Speaker 1: but there's only four of us left. Still still, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear this Blue Lives Matter shirt
Speaker 1: around them because I don't know what's going to happen,
Speaker 1: what they might tell their others, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: don't know. Oh my god. Well let's get worked. Let's
Speaker 1: start working on this. Yeah, I think it's funnier. I
Speaker 1: think it's funnier to just sort of lambast liberal politics
Speaker 1: with this, then it would be the other way. I
Speaker 1: think it's just way in my mind, there's just way more.
Speaker 1: There's there's way more to mind through like liberal thinking
Speaker 1: than just being like, we get it, it's ignorance or whatever.
Speaker 1: This like high like a high minded idiot zombie who's
Speaker 1: going to cancel you? Like yeah, yeah, and just the
Speaker 1: we're all ground into mindless automatons by by capitalism. So
Speaker 1: that's how we'll bring the country together. There are are
Speaker 1: zombie show that makes fun of liberals that liberals like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's something there. And then for people like
Speaker 1: on the Red yeah, fuck, it's just great. I like
Speaker 1: that you even added a little bit of chaw into
Speaker 1: the person's mouth who you were just impersonating fucking horseshoe
Speaker 1: down here. Uh alright, let's let's talk about the new
Speaker 1: postal trucks before we go. Uh. I didn't know we were.
Speaker 1: I didn't know they were being redesigned, let alone being
Speaker 1: read designed by Pixar. But these things look adorable there.
Speaker 1: They've got like they don't look like normal cars. They
Speaker 1: I don't know it looks like a cartoon or like, yeah,
Speaker 1: something out of a Pixar movie. Yeah, they look like ducks.
Speaker 1: They look like yeah yeah yeah, like big old windshield
Speaker 1: and then like just a little front part. I think
Speaker 1: there being some of the ones that were proposed. So
Speaker 1: they did the open competition open pitch sessh where like
Speaker 1: people could pitch different models, and there was one company
Speaker 1: that pitched like basically making the whole fleet electric, and
Speaker 1: of course the USPS did not go with that one.
Speaker 1: We will be ten electric starting in the year edge.
Speaker 1: Let's just edge. You know, combating combating climate change isn't like, well,
Speaker 1: we have to get rid of these like a couple
Speaker 1: of years after they're put into circulation, because aren't there
Speaker 1: like laws being put into place. There will be like
Speaker 1: some kind of federal mandate about like what the makeup
Speaker 1: is of the fleet or whatever. But you know that's
Speaker 1: all that takes is some other fucking just losers to
Speaker 1: come in and be like, funk that all gas everything
Speaker 1: funk the last guy like I just I mean, i'd
Speaker 1: hope we can maintain that course, but she can change
Speaker 1: so easily. Yeah, I would be embarrassed to be seen
Speaker 1: in one of those cute little trucks. Yeah, or maybe
Speaker 1: I would embrace what is there, like what's the idea?
Speaker 1: Like they had to do it because because they used
Speaker 1: to be in those nasty box jeep type on those
Speaker 1: things don't have air conditioning, don't have like any really
Speaker 1: like are just a death trap and like incredibly dangerous
Speaker 1: for anybody around them because you can't see behind the
Speaker 1: mail truck at all. Uh so, oh ship the idea
Speaker 1: behind that. And I think like one of them caught
Speaker 1: on fire or just spontaneously, um, which I don't think
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. Um no. Yeah, so that's that's
Speaker 1: why they were getting rid of them. Those things already
Speaker 1: look like they should be like from the nineteen sixties,
Speaker 1: like right, they're all like straight lines and corners and ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they look like if you just touch it it would
Speaker 1: cut you, right, yeah, exactly had a lot of sharp corners.
Speaker 1: And it's true like now that you say that, because
Speaker 1: I feel like every time my mail carrier, like in
Speaker 1: my neighborhood growing up, because in the value ship is
Speaker 1: hot as fuck, like in the summer, My my idea,
Speaker 1: my memories of uh, the mail carrier is coming out
Speaker 1: that truck, and she looked she was just dripped. She's like,
Speaker 1: my god fucking truck. And then you see like the
Speaker 1: the seat looked like he's had a bunch of spring
Speaker 1: shooting out of it and some Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing with those all things, but they're gonna
Speaker 1: give somebody tetanus the like once they're out of circulation.
Speaker 1: Like whatever yard did they put them in? Are these
Speaker 1: new trucks like objectively better though, like yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're definitely better, but they're of the ones that could
Speaker 1: have gone with. There was a kind of young upstart
Speaker 1: called Workhorse, those specifically pitching electric trucks for the entire
Speaker 1: USPS field. Uh. And then this company osh Kosh uh
Speaker 1: and their trucks are equipped with either fuel efficient gasoline
Speaker 1: engines or electric batteries, and they went with They went
Speaker 1: with ashkosh baby because uh yeah, why not? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: cost would have been they claimed the cost of the
Speaker 1: electric would have been three or four extra billion dollars.
Speaker 1: But we know, uh right, yeah, and also yeah, and
Speaker 1: and we also, I mean, we need every billion we
Speaker 1: can get for our killing machine pentagon on as much.
Speaker 1: We have to keep feeding it billions because I don't
Speaker 1: know where that goes, but cool, um, just a couple
Speaker 1: billion and you could do this other thing. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: good luck to that truck. It's only a matter time
Speaker 1: to uh the kids start doing graffiti on it like
Speaker 1: we did the old ones. I mean, any country that
Speaker 1: wanted to attack us, if they just looked at what
Speaker 1: we do with our infrastructure, like the ship that happened
Speaker 1: in Texas, the ship that happened in the capital, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how much we say we have billions in
Speaker 1: like defense, Yeah exactly, we look and we look like shit.
Speaker 1: You know, I would be like, attack will be great,
Speaker 1: We'll win. I don't know why we're almost like please
Speaker 1: attack to like sort of validate that this country is
Speaker 1: worth attacking again. Other guys like, no, man, have you
