Speaker 1: we were talking him ship picks, the art of the
Speaker 1: ship pick, and you know you came through that flow right, AK.
Speaker 1: So I had to do it justice. Wow. Um. A
Speaker 1: lot of people message me about surprisingly or comment about
Speaker 1: the taking the pictures of your ship conversation we had.
Speaker 1: I think that's universal. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: can relate for some reason. Unfortunately, there's a truth there.
Speaker 1: I think that's like probably a weird part of our
Speaker 1: consumerist capitalism culture where we are like, look at how
Speaker 1: much I consumed and here's the the embodiment of my Actually, okay,
Speaker 1: let's think about that conceptual art piece that we should
Speaker 1: work shop later on, all right, and in our third seat,
Speaker 1: we are thrilled to be joined by the brilliant, the talented,
Speaker 1: the hilarious Kareem Rochma. That was dope saying my name
Speaker 1: very correctly. Ah, of course, man, yeah rock mine like yeah,
Speaker 1: the Rackma part though, like usually no one, no one
Speaker 1: does the heart. It's usually rama. That's credit to super
Speaker 1: producer Anna hose Nay was just respecting all names. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? What's up? Where you? Where
Speaker 1: are you at right now? Are you in? You? Are
Speaker 1: you West Coast? East coast? Were you at? I'm in
Speaker 1: East Coast, I'm in I'm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, South Williams
Speaker 1: work specifically. Okay, is that your normal? Is that where
Speaker 1: you live? Is that where you was that where you
Speaker 1: grew up? Or no, that's where the apartment is. That's
Speaker 1: where I've lived in New York for ten years. Um,
Speaker 1: and uh and I've lived in this neighborhood for four
Speaker 1: but before that, I was in I was in Minnesota
Speaker 1: where some ships going down today that yeah, I grew up,
Speaker 1: um and hopefully you know the deal. I hope, I
Speaker 1: hope Derek Ravan goes to jail for a very long time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of just even like hearing about how
Speaker 1: many uh like opportunities for the defense to strike like
Speaker 1: jurors like and hearing a lot of like legal innists
Speaker 1: were like, you know, I to be honest, there's a
Speaker 1: world in which that jury is all white based on
Speaker 1: the number of strikes. They have the questionnaires that they're
Speaker 1: giving to people to try and have them ousted for
Speaker 1: cause or whatever because they believe in something like that
Speaker 1: Black lives matter. It's a very like the more you
Speaker 1: read about the details going into it, it's like I'm
Speaker 1: already feeling the wind coming out of my optimistic sales
Speaker 1: for justice, but I'm trying to not because that would
Speaker 1: already be too crushing this early in the week. But yeah,
Speaker 1: well we shall see. So they're treating uh, like, having
Speaker 1: sympathy for the cause of black lives matter as like
Speaker 1: a pre existing biased Yeah, and therefore and then there
Speaker 1: are things on the questionnaire like have you been to
Speaker 1: did you go to any demonstrations over the summer? Did
Speaker 1: you carry a placard or or sign? If you did,
Speaker 1: what did it say? Like, it's really trying to get
Speaker 1: in there very deep to understand who you know might
Speaker 1: may or may not be sympathetic to the idea or
Speaker 1: acknowledging the idea that there's a you know, full on
Speaker 1: problem with people of color having their lives ended by
Speaker 1: the police and somehow that's a disc It's like so weird.
Speaker 1: It's like we're looking for someone who doesn't have an
Speaker 1: opinion on that to then adjudicate what has happened here,
Speaker 1: Like are they allowed to add a murder trial? Be
Speaker 1: like are you pro or anti murder? Because if you're
Speaker 1: anti murder, we're going to strike you. Like me, I'm
Speaker 1: I guess maybe on some I don't know if you'd
Speaker 1: ask something about directly, just like so fucking like, uh,
Speaker 1: that's that should just be a basic human judgment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: murderer is wrong. Yeah, this guy, I'd like to strike
Speaker 1: this juror actually he just said yeah that that that
Speaker 1: opinions too woke these days like that murderers wrong, cancel
Speaker 1: culture is getting rid of murderers. And I've just had
Speaker 1: about just because we haven't accepted the piece we're acknowledging
Speaker 1: that there's that systemic white supremacy is just off. Is
Speaker 1: are the evil fucking overlord of this country? Like that
Speaker 1: acknowledging that is somehow makes you biased. Now where I
Speaker 1: would to the countrary would be like, if you aren't
Speaker 1: aware at this point what this country does to people
Speaker 1: and how it operates, actually you should you have no
Speaker 1: place adjudicating what justice is or is not, because you
Speaker 1: actually have demonstrated you have no sense of justice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a jury of your peers has like some implication that
Speaker 1: they are a friend to people in general and not
Speaker 1: just a complete sociopath, disconnected sociopath. What what's New York
Speaker 1: like these days? Korean? So I've been gone for forty
Speaker 1: or five days before I left. Before I left, though,
Speaker 1: it was it was it was nice, like people were
Speaker 1: getting into a new kind of camaraderie, right Like Actually
Speaker 1: last night I went out for some drinks and um,
Speaker 1: I was sitting outside in thirty degree weather, and I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, this wouldn't I mean, this is unfathomable
Speaker 1: for you know, a year ago or two years ago
Speaker 1: that I would be out sitting outside European style having
Speaker 1: a beer, you know, and I was like froze into
Speaker 1: your hands. But now it was like normal, every everybody
Speaker 1: was doing it. And so coming back to that, I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: Like New Yorkers really do have a completely different attitude
Speaker 1: about life in general, I think than any other country
Speaker 1: or country, I mean more or less, um, but but
Speaker 1: people are I mean, you can feel the excitement as
Speaker 1: spring as upon us. Spring has almost sprung very nice.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. I don't think of that like subconscious
Speaker 1: psychological effective being like it become warmer now soon, and
Speaker 1: like the excitement because me growing up l A my
Speaker 1: whole life is just like I don't know, is it
Speaker 1: hoodie or shorts today and you only wear one at
Speaker 1: a time. I've not you will wear a hoodie or shorts,
Speaker 1: but when you were in your hoodie it is like
Speaker 1: Donald Duck. You will not be wearing anything below exactly.
Speaker 1: And then when you know, I'll put chroma key green
Speaker 1: paint all over my bare chest. So when I do
Speaker 1: the zoom call, I can just photoshop anything green screen
Speaker 1: it right on, that's what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting too in the back of my mind,
Speaker 1: uh plan a return to New York like in my
Speaker 1: fifties or something, because that this, yeah to live there.
Speaker 1: That this bill that you put in our dock last
Speaker 1: week that we talked about Miles about like turning you know,
Speaker 1: of the streets into like park area, just seems like
Speaker 1: it would be so dope. They got to get that
Speaker 1: done first. Yeah, yeah, I know, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: like that eventuality, I was I was surprised that when
Speaker 1: I came back there's a street called Berry that goes
Speaker 1: down Williamsburg and it's still closed. It's been closed for
Speaker 1: a year, And I'm like, they're going to have a
Speaker 1: really hard time suying this this pedestrian space from the
Speaker 1: hands of the people, Like there's that just skateboarders, walkers,
Speaker 1: people taking jobs like it's it's nice give the people
Speaker 1: the streets back, and I think they're gonna have a
Speaker 1: really hard time trying to open that street back up.
Speaker 1: You know. M Let's let's hope they keep those streets closing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: expand on that for sure, because I think just in general,
Speaker 1: the benefits of like being more connected to your community.
Speaker 1: I think they can't be like underlined enough. Yeah, alright, Kareem.
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. Uh. We
Speaker 1: are still talking about that Oprah interview from Sunday with
Speaker 1: Megan and Harry Shocking. We are recording this uh soon
Speaker 1: after that. So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the new world for people who have been vaccinated.
Speaker 1: What what that looks like. We're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: box office bafo b oh for the weekend in in
Speaker 1: New York. They opened like capacity in New York and
Speaker 1: there was like a noticeable uptick. People are apparently going
Speaker 1: to be willing to go back to movie theaters. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Jack in the
Speaker 1: Box ruining l A with Ranch National Ranch sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's it sounds about as ridiculous as like Free Ranch
Speaker 1: Gone Wild. Yes, Free Ranch Gone Wild, Uh my favorite. Yes.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Pepe Lapew being quote unquote canceled. Uh.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about just all the cancel culture
Speaker 1: ship in the context of this new documentary from the
Speaker 1: hyper Normalization director Adam Something guy. Uh, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: we'll talk these guys, and we'll talk about Philly's vaccine
Speaker 1: rollout if we get to it. But first, Kareem, we
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's a couple of things. I did look at
Speaker 1: my search history and I had them. I was researching
Speaker 1: the extended warranty meme We'd like to call you about
Speaker 1: your extended warranty. That's the extended warranty meme. It's because
Speaker 1: everyone keeps getting these phone calls, like actual robot calls,
Speaker 1: that are like, we'd like to talk to you about
Speaker 1: your cars extended warrantin bro, I don't want to call.
Speaker 1: So now it's like a meme where it's like you
Speaker 1: do them the wink the winked meme. What's what's her name?
Speaker 1: She was just in the Yeah, yeah, I was like
Speaker 1: a great one. I was like, that would be great
Speaker 1: to mimify. I would, I would collide these two memes.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I was like I would take
Speaker 1: the winking meme and the extended warrantin me when I'll
Speaker 1: combine them, because it's like the person that's calling me
Speaker 1: about my cars extended to warranty A is literally not
Speaker 1: calling about my car. I don't have a car. So
Speaker 1: that was one. That was one thing I was all.
Speaker 1: I also was googling but Minari, which is a movie
Speaker 1: that I thought was I watched it last night and
Speaker 1: I cried the entire time by myself eating Chipotle before
Speaker 1: after your street beer. This is after the street beer.
Speaker 1: So I was like after the street it was like
Speaker 1: seven o'clock, came home, I felt lonely, decided to put
Speaker 1: on this the saddest movie I've ever seen in a
Speaker 1: long time, but also inspirational by myself and eat Chipotle tacos.
Speaker 1: I had a pivot like I had like a I'm
Speaker 1: not going to get the breed on and get the
Speaker 1: heart shells because I actually I want to Taco bell Avian.
Speaker 1: Initially I want to Taco Bell, and then I talked
Speaker 1: about my stomach and how that would feel, so I
Speaker 1: got Taco I mean, that's that's rare that you desired
Speaker 1: Taco Bell. And then your next thought was actually considering
Speaker 1: your own safety and well being, because the second my
Speaker 1: mind goes into taco bell, it's just it's an unstoppable force. Um,
Speaker 1: and so my bollets. Also, I believe you were adult
Speaker 1: ing when you did that. Is that a cool thing
Speaker 1: to say? Yeah, it's dude, I'm a griffin too or adult? Yeah,
Speaker 1: something about the combined. Uh. Like I once found myself
Speaker 1: like hungry and weeping openly and like stuffing food in
Speaker 1: my face, and just like I had a visual of
Speaker 1: myself and I was like, this is kind of the
Speaker 1: funniest thing a human can do, is be like weeping
Speaker 1: while while shoveling food in their mouth. Um, do you
Speaker 1: remember what you're eating? I think it was a meat
Speaker 1: balls sub Actually, oh my, you know weat boss Up.
Speaker 1: I don't know about so Minari. Uh, five Stars has
Speaker 1: its intended effect. I actually haven't seen it, but yeah,
Speaker 1: And usually my biggest criticism of every movie is that
Speaker 1: it's thirty minutes too long. I believe that all films
Speaker 1: should be ninety minutes, especially in the comedy genre. This
Speaker 1: was this was thirty minutes over. But I I honestly
Speaker 1: let it slide this one time. You know, what this
Speaker 1: movie is perfect. It doesn't pass. Yeah, I got that pass,
Speaker 1: I got the past. It was so it was so
Speaker 1: good it blew my expectations away. I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be good. But you know, here's the thing about
Speaker 1: twenty four, which I like a twenty four as a company.
Speaker 1: They are really fucking good at making trailers. And sometimes
Speaker 1: the trailers are better than the movies. So when when
Speaker 1: a four film delivers on the trailer, it's exceptionally good
Speaker 1: because every trailer is good. But sometimes the movie is
Speaker 1: not that good, like like personal opinion here, midsummer midsummer midsomar,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna call it. Not a
Speaker 1: good movie, not a good horror film, not a good
Speaker 1: film in general. Trailer fire, Like I'll put the trailer
Speaker 1: and repeat. I was I just saw the clip. But
Speaker 1: how the eight year old actor and it got like
Speaker 1: a Critic's Choice award and he was like crying, and
Speaker 1: I was like, man, you know, you know, like whenever
Speaker 1: there's like a movie that has like like everyone's like
Speaker 1: unequivocal to like the kids in this, You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is that's usually like of some really good directing
Speaker 1: and filmmaking. Yeah, it was incredible, he was. Sometimes kids
Speaker 1: are just such good fucking actors. That's wild. Um what
Speaker 1: it's because like it's weird because they'll occupy this space
Speaker 1: where like they're not fully corrupted by like adult life
Speaker 1: and like the considerations of like self editing in your
Speaker 1: head and how you're being perceived by people outside of
Speaker 1: your own body, and like so you're able to so
Speaker 1: I guess it's like that that moment where you're still
Speaker 1: able to emote with like this real depth of like
Speaker 1: but without that there to funk with it, and it's
Speaker 1: just like uncut performance, like just bass, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, he's his depth. I mean he was
Speaker 1: like Daniel day Lewis, like eight year old Daniel is
Speaker 1: so good and the character is like his character is
Speaker 1: like really complex, like when we were growing up. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that we're all around the same age. Like you know,
Speaker 1: child actor was like the kid from the sixth Cents
Speaker 1: and you're like that kid's a really good actor, you know,
Speaker 1: but it's like, Okay, you're scared and you see that people,
Speaker 1: which is different than like your dad's an immigrant, he
Speaker 1: just moved here from Korea. This is your story. I
Speaker 1: was just like, mind, you know, right right right like this,
Speaker 1: like what's gonna happen next? Like is it gonna become
Speaker 1: like Rommy Malick like a great actor. I wonder, um,
Speaker 1: I do wonder if and maybe he's again, can let
Speaker 1: us know if there is like an artist or like
Speaker 1: a handful of artists who cuts the trailers like there's
Speaker 1: I was. I was like blown away when I grew
Speaker 1: up and found out that like all my favorite movie
Speaker 1: posters from the eighties were like drawn by the same dude.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's like a bunch of special effects artists
Speaker 1: who are like that, who are like these aw tours
Speaker 1: behind the scene that you like don't realize or there.
Speaker 1: I wonder if got that going on with their trailers.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to ask him. We'll do some
Speaker 1: post lurking out here in l A started asking I
Speaker 1: would love I would personally love to know that I
Speaker 1: would like to meet that person. Have an ice cold
Speaker 1: beer and negative twenty degree. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Um? I have a number of things that
Speaker 1: I when I was thinking about what I think is overrated? Um,
Speaker 1: the first thing that came to mind was Radiohead, just
Speaker 1: in general, so it's not in the currently not in
Speaker 1: the site, guys. But like Radiohead, it's fine. I think
Speaker 1: Radiohead is fine. You know, um, what's what's the what's
Speaker 1: the line where you start going okay, hold on, hold
Speaker 1: on Radiohead? What are you doing now? Because I love Radiohead,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious to know where you put it as
Speaker 1: like what's the level of uh fanaticism or you know,
Speaker 1: energy behind it that you're like, okay, hold on now,
Speaker 1: hold on. I just think when people are like my
Speaker 1: favorite bands Radiohead, I was just like, okay, like you
Speaker 1: might as well just say cold Play at that point,
Speaker 1: Like that's to me Radiohead is they're interchangeable bands and
Speaker 1: they're not interchangeable. Hold on, I mean it doesn't digress.
Speaker 1: I'm more like, as yeah, and that you're you're you're
Speaker 1: bringing out the fucking Johnny Greenwood standing me now. But
Speaker 1: like I'm curious just how because I'm because i want
Speaker 1: to you know, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm able to say,
Speaker 1: you know, Radiohead might be washed or whatever is not
Speaker 1: the best, but comparing it to cold Play, I'm curious,
Speaker 1: sonically you mean or what do you mean? Are just
Speaker 1: like the people who vibe with Coldplay versus Radiohead. No,
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with audience. I'm not judging
Speaker 1: Radiohead based on who likes radio And you know what,
Speaker 1: like Phantom Thread Johnny Greenwood amazing soundtrack, loved it, would
Speaker 1: listen to it a lot, Radiohead in general. Like sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, because I'm not resistant to understanding this
Speaker 1: phenomena or Radiohead. Sometimes I put it on. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: it's good. It's actually good, but it's not. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: not just like I want to be though, I'm open
Speaker 1: to it. I'm open to to what do you levitate to? Well,
Speaker 1: these days, I'm just kind of like part of the
Speaker 1: I'm just like a TikTok gen z kids. I'm just
Speaker 1: I just listened to like literally things that sound like
Speaker 1: like the inside of a computer. Um yeah, like like
Speaker 1: you know, but um, I don't have anything to back this.
Speaker 1: And I had another thing that I think it is
Speaker 1: overad which I think cooking at home. But then I
Speaker 1: also realized that like Friendly Boits recently had the same
Speaker 1: um kind of commentary, so I didn't want to bring
Speaker 1: that on the show. Yeah, but I do think that
Speaker 1: cooking is on people I love cooking, it's still satisfying.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I love sitting on the couch and ordering
Speaker 1: food that I've had, I've only had to I think
Speaker 1: as like like the variety of like restaurants I used
Speaker 1: to be able to get has changed. I'm like, fuck it,
Speaker 1: it's just easier to make one trip by a ton
Speaker 1: of food and then just like eat very normally. But
Speaker 1: that there's nothing, though, like the feeling of eating food
Speaker 1: that you did not cook it. Just as much as
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like oh my god, I crushed
Speaker 1: it on this dish, there's like something you still know.
Speaker 1: It's like you made it though you can tell or
Speaker 1: something that I still it's still like I just can't
Speaker 1: get that high, like I'm chasing the dragon of like
Speaker 1: other people's cooking. Nothing's going to surprise you. Not one
Speaker 1: of these bites is going to surprise you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I have I don't have that like little that
Speaker 1: little gene. When I when I finished the food, like
Speaker 1: finished making it, I'm like, I'm so proud of myself.
Speaker 1: I'm just always like I'm the same way. I'm the
Speaker 1: same way. Oh really, yeah, make room for us. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not uh, you know, we exist people
Speaker 1: who don't get any satisfaction out of cooking. Is it that? Like?
Speaker 1: Is it? Because it's like the thing where you like
Speaker 1: you were building a lego set, like freestyling, and in
Speaker 1: your mind you're gonna put together something wild and then
Speaker 1: it kind of came out like man, so you're like
Speaker 1: less enthused or just in general it's not satisfying. So
Speaker 1: at the end of it, you're like, man, I did
Speaker 1: all this ship just for this man. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is because like puzzles. I like puzzles. You
Speaker 1: get a kick out of that ship, but the puzzle
Speaker 1: of how to make a good meal bores me. And
Speaker 1: I will say that with breakfast is different, Like I
Speaker 1: pride myself and being an incredible scrambled eggs and like something,
Speaker 1: let's make breakfast together. I think that is. I think
Speaker 1: that is the one universal truth for people, Like, even
Speaker 1: if you don't like to cook, breakfast is one thing
Speaker 1: where people are oh, yeah, like I'll do that. Like
Speaker 1: anything beyond just just submerging my eggs in butter or
Speaker 1: whatever in bacon grease and then eating a potato or
Speaker 1: something is different. But yeah, the breakfast is yeah, beloved.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because the steaks are low with breakfast, right,
Speaker 1: because you don't expect to like you don't have to
Speaker 1: dress a plate for your breakfast. It's like usually pan
Speaker 1: sody and it's fun. It's fun, like what else can
Speaker 1: you live at? I'm making pancakes like also like panc
Speaker 1: mixes just sugar and dough. It's like a doughnut. It's
Speaker 1: a deconstructive donut. Like it's fun. I always I always
Speaker 1: make too much batter and then I'm like fun, Brian
Speaker 1: eat more than three of these, and then I don't
Speaker 1: like having a stack of cold pancakes like that. Try freezing.
Speaker 1: Should freeze the batter and put some popsicle sticks on,
Speaker 1: just like packakee popsicles or like French cake sis. Right. Um.
Speaker 1: I take pride in even giving a good mix of cereal.
Speaker 1: My kids like the graveyard, you know, like the every
Speaker 1: single fountain drink of cereal. They want every single box
Speaker 1: of cereal and even yeah easy way them. Yeah they
Speaker 1: mix them. I mix them, four of them. I give
Speaker 1: them like a little trail mix of pre blended. Uh No.
Speaker 1: Now every morning, you know to bring out all the
Speaker 1: boxes because the boxes are part of the fun, right,
Speaker 1: they get to see all the boxes. The boxes is fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a I can't do that dinner. Yeah together,
Speaker 1: right exactly. How about racha on your cream cheese with
Speaker 1: some black olives. That's called a graveyard night suicide, swamp water. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I've heard it all. It all depended on the
Speaker 1: region of your summer tall region. Yeah, yeah for sure,
Speaker 1: like where I first heard it, because I heard it
Speaker 1: in like the East coast when they said, uh, suicide
Speaker 1: and then like people from Texas at swamp water. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess it's all West virgin Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think it was graveyard. Uh. And yeah, I've heard it all.
Speaker 1: I've heard it all. I've heard it all that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's like the monologue at the end of Blade Runner.
Speaker 1: I've heard all the different soda combinations, slang terms. Uh,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Oh? Um, just me,
Speaker 1: that's what my kareem rama. Hell yeah, Like I thought
Speaker 1: about it for a while. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm underrated, Like I had like, let us know. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I sometimes tweet and I'm like, all right, the tweets
Speaker 1: fire like boom, seven likes, fourteen likes. Where's the retweets?
Speaker 1: No one's retweeting my ship. So I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: a little upset about it. You know, I'm under it
Speaker 1: and I have good tweets. I feel um so that
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna die on that hill, you know, like
Speaker 1: I'm underrated. You are a comedian and a poet, or right,
Speaker 1: a former poet. I don't know how you identify, but
Speaker 1: your background is poetry, right, yeah, poet turn comedian. I started,
Speaker 1: I was like reading poems and I would see the
Speaker 1: look of sadness on everyone's face, which is kind of
Speaker 1: which is kind of the point, you know, the point.
Speaker 1: But then I would feel bad and I would be like, well,
Speaker 1: here's one that I was really depressing, and then people
Speaker 1: would start laughing, and I was like, oh shit, this
Speaker 1: is better. I like this feeling of the laughing. And
Speaker 1: then I would like it would be less about the
Speaker 1: poems and more about the banter in between the poems,
Speaker 1: because I was just like whatever I had in my head,
Speaker 1: I would just say it out a lot and everyone'd
Speaker 1: be laughing, and I was like, I like the applause,
Speaker 1: I like the claps, I like the laughs and so
Speaker 1: that brought me into the world of being comedian rather
Speaker 1: than like the snaps and sniffles. Yeah, no, no sniffles,
Speaker 1: no turtle. That's when I took my turtle back off
Speaker 1: and replaced it with this, like open shirts. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: something that's underrated. Is just leaving the buttons down, like
Speaker 1: showing chest. I feel like is is really underrated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: flows it ebbs and flows. I'm always like two button
Speaker 1: minimal because I remember, like you know, a few years
Speaker 1: ago the style was buttoned up baby, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, called that the British button. I said, church
Speaker 1: and court basically combined. Did that okay, as I make
Speaker 1: up more words, but yeah, like you got the church
Speaker 1: button on. Uh. And now like I'm kind of like
Speaker 1: the vibes feel like yeah you I'm feeling open collars
Speaker 1: and ship again. It's nice, it's freeing, it's liberating. And
Speaker 1: it's like somebody was like, I would did it at
Speaker 1: the dentist once and I took a selfie but I
Speaker 1: wasn't even talking about how I just always wear it
Speaker 1: like that, and somebody's like, You're the only person I
Speaker 1: know that would go to the dentist. Like three buds.
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, this is like lifestyle, this is
Speaker 1: a way of life. This is not a choice I'm making,
Speaker 1: Like this is who I am. Right, And also you
Speaker 1: say that as if like pulling up to the dentist
Speaker 1: with three buttons done, it's some kind of like anti
Speaker 1: dentite move, like yeah, oh okay, fine, like you I can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you would be someone who dressed comfortably to an appointment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's how you get compliments, you know, dentist
Speaker 1: like I love this hairy chass. I was like, you're like, okay, easy, bro,
Speaker 1: I just need this. I need this feeling real quick.
Speaker 1: I care so much about what like strangers like dentists
Speaker 1: think about me. It's get total malfunction. But I will
Speaker 1: dress up or you know, care if the dentist says
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a nice shirt. I gotta be honest, dude.
Speaker 1: That's that's some immigrant ships, I don't know, low self esteem.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, alright, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and let's get
Speaker 1: into the Megan Harry Oprah interview. This is I think
Speaker 1: there were there was definitely like the overall shape of
Speaker 1: it was kind of the direction. I was expecting that
Speaker 1: the crown was racist, but there were just some details
Speaker 1: that I was not, like, I just didn't know that
Speaker 1: kind of put it in a new shape for me,
Speaker 1: Like the complaints overall that they aren't protected from tabloid
Speaker 1: rumors and don't have security protection, Like when without context
Speaker 1: that seems lower stakes and like sort of a privilege thing,
Speaker 1: and then like within the context of the interview, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that ship is violence, like they are actually like fucking
Speaker 1: with them intentionally. It's yeah, it's like throughout it, I
Speaker 1: was like straddling this weird place of being surprised and
Speaker 1: totally not surprised at the same time because like, on
Speaker 1: its face, I'm like, right, the the monarchy is a
Speaker 1: twelve hundred year old, funked up institution that you know,
Speaker 1: one of the o g s of this colonizer white
Speaker 1: supremacy ship. So and I'm like, right, that's the fucking
Speaker 1: DNA from where everything is then coming from. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: of course this is how they're going to treat someone
Speaker 1: a person of color who's going to enter the royal family,
Speaker 1: and the how aggressive and open, Like you know, I
Speaker 1: was just reading about how like one of the royals,
Speaker 1: Princess Michael or one of them early on pulled up
Speaker 1: with a brooch of like a servant, like a sort
Speaker 1: of depiction of a person of color servant from like
Speaker 1: the Empire, but it was a brooch to the first
Speaker 1: time You're meeting her, and I'm like, oh, right, But
Speaker 1: and then in this other way, as an American, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is nothing new, like anybody in an interracial relationship,
Speaker 1: and it's so weird that I'm like sorting, like I'm
Speaker 1: reconciling my perception of an American and being so familiar
Speaker 1: with just aggressive racism and this Crown version from Also
Speaker 1: I was telling her, Majesty, I'm like, do you think
Speaker 1: the Queen said that? I can't picture Olivia Coleman from
Speaker 1: the Crown? And then I'm like, this is not the
Speaker 1: fucking this is all bullshit. But yeah, it's I mean,
Speaker 1: like again, even like every time anyone I've I've dated
Speaker 1: a white woman met the family and it's been a
Speaker 1: serious thing, you always hear something like, oh, I would
Speaker 1: love to have a curly haired grand child. You're like,
Speaker 1: but it's said with a smile, because it's not like
Speaker 1: I don't want you dating this fucking brown skin motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Like it's no, it's like, oh my god, and the
Speaker 1: kids would look so exotic, you know, It's it comes
Speaker 1: down this really insidious way that's so familiar and with
Speaker 1: a smiling face. And then you mapped out onto like
Speaker 1: what's going on with them? You're like, yeah, that's that's yeah.
Speaker 1: Even you get it, even you get the royal racist
Speaker 1: treatment basically over there. Yeah. So, I mean the things
Speaker 1: that I found surprising, like I I hadn't realized that
Speaker 1: how much of a partnership the royal family and the
Speaker 1: tabloids are, and like how much control they have over
Speaker 1: the tabloids, like they One of the details that kind
Speaker 1: of blew my mind was that the tabloids have holiday
Speaker 1: parties in Buckingham Palace. Like that's like it's like they're
Speaker 1: all part of the same organization basically. And and so
Speaker 1: in that respect, when they're like going after Megan and
Speaker 1: not at any corrections to like all these wild ass stories, uh,
Speaker 1: it becomes clear, oh, they're kind of letting that happen. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the big kind of bombshell thing was that
Speaker 1: one of the family members approached Harry when Megan first
Speaker 1: announced her pregnancy and speculated about how dark the baby's
Speaker 1: skin was going to be. UM. And this was at
Speaker 1: the same time that they were finding out that the
Speaker 1: baby would not be granted like prince or princess title
Speaker 1: and would not have security, which is basically unprecedented. Um,
Speaker 1: it's basically, oh, yeah, you're fully on your own. In fact,
Speaker 1: maybe something will happen to you all because you have
Speaker 1: no I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: that much, but it's like the way that keeps being underlined,
Speaker 1: like we wouldn't have protection. Weird, just out there still
Speaker 1: very much being known as part of the royal family,
Speaker 1: although maybe just in name only at this point. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's bad, and it goes back, you know,
Speaker 1: like one Princess Diana had an Egyptian boyfriend. Uh, that
Speaker 1: was it was. It was bad. It was bad back
Speaker 1: then and it's getting worse now. And and all I
Speaker 1: could think about was like, you know, Megan markles like
Speaker 1: a beautiful person, um, you know, and and the fact
Speaker 1: that they're concerned like about the color of the baby
Speaker 1: or the baby being a different shade. It's just it's
Speaker 1: almost like what if she was, like if she was
Speaker 1: if she was really dark skinned. You know, we're having
Speaker 1: this conversation about someone who's really light skinned, and dark
Speaker 1: skinned women are beautiful, light skin I mean everyone, they're
Speaker 1: they're all beautiful. But it's like the idea that even
Speaker 1: a little bit of melanin is gonna funk up their
Speaker 1: whole thing. I'm like, have you seen the queen? She
Speaker 1: looks like she's from the movie Gremlins, you know, like like,
Speaker 1: let's relax with that. I mean, they're in her and
Speaker 1: Philip I related, but you know whatever, let's let's get
Speaker 1: really interested in the complexion of the child. And even
Speaker 1: though like it seemed like Harry was really quick to
Speaker 1: be like eliminating who it was, like space saying it
Speaker 1: wasn't a queen or Philip, it seems like they're on
Speaker 1: like good terms with the queen. They're like talking about
Speaker 1: how they do zooms still with the queen, which right,
Speaker 1: which is said, like what the funk? But then she
Speaker 1: talks about how she couldn't just be like, oh, what's up,
Speaker 1: you're my my man's grandma, Like so did to meet you?
Speaker 1: Like you ready to kurtsy? Motherfucker? You know, how to
Speaker 1: do this? You get in here, man, what you doing? Like, also,
Speaker 1: y'all need to why are you hitting her with this
Speaker 1: at the zero hour? First of all too, like let's
Speaker 1: help her out. But yeah, the the other thing, I
Speaker 1: was having trouble and I was texting within our group
Speaker 1: thread because Anna was like, Yo, it's it's definitely not
Speaker 1: the Queen or Prince Philip. But I'm like, you're saying
Speaker 1: that the least problematic take in the family didn't come
Speaker 1: from the grandparents. I have a hard time believing that,
Speaker 1: but I get that too. But also maybe it's one
Speaker 1: of those things too because a lot of their speculation
Speaker 1: that it was William. And maybe it's more shocking because
Speaker 1: it's from a younger version where it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: my grandma's gonna say racist. Yeah, that's how that's how
Speaker 1: they do. That's less shocking then my father or brother
Speaker 1: or something. But I'm splitting the difference in sane it's
Speaker 1: Charles just based on first of all, like his characterization,
Speaker 1: the fact that like they had to make him sympathetic
Speaker 1: in the crown and like still you you come away
Speaker 1: from that just being like this fucking is just hopeless,
Speaker 1: like just a hopeless, like privileged, self centered narcissist. And
Speaker 1: then when you read stories about people who have had
Speaker 1: like unguarded conversations with him that they thought were off
Speaker 1: the record, like this dude is both convinced he is
Speaker 1: brilliant and the dumbest motherfucker, Like you've ever heard a
Speaker 1: quote frump And yeah, I would be. I would be
Speaker 1: surprised if it wasn't him him, or at least like
Speaker 1: William like talking like taking his side or some ship.
Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting that he said that that
Speaker 1: his relationship with his brother is currently defined us space
Speaker 1: like like they probably don't talk. I think. I think.
Speaker 1: I mean if Prince William said something like that about
Speaker 1: about my about my royal wife, I would I would
Speaker 1: slap a shot of him. I would space. I wonder
Speaker 1: if it was generational too, right, because he's like, dude,
Speaker 1: Grandma gonna have my back and dad's a fun boy.
Speaker 1: The only person is my brother should have my back.
Speaker 1: And then if he comes through like I'm quite worried
Speaker 1: about the baby's COMPLEXI like, what the fuck? No, all
Speaker 1: y'all like I'm off this, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's uh, it's again not surprising and surprising,
Speaker 1: you know, like it's just this weird thing because we've
Speaker 1: talked about in the past the wild tabloid ship that
Speaker 1: was said about Megan and the racist ship, and like
Speaker 1: just like a fucking just like it's like it's like
Speaker 1: watching Fox News when the presidential administration goes from a
Speaker 1: Republican to Democrat, where suddenly all this ship that you
Speaker 1: were rocking with is now the wrong thing, and it's
Speaker 1: like so transparent. You're like, you don't fun, this is
Speaker 1: just a pr arm for this fucking firm. Oprah killed
Speaker 1: that whole interview, but like specifically when she was just
Speaker 1: like going side by side, like okay, so Kate was
Speaker 1: pregnant and cradling her baby bump and they were like
Speaker 1: proud mum, and then you were pregnant. They were like,
Speaker 1: look at her showing off, like she thinks she's solo
Speaker 1: on that ship's up. Also, what a weird thing to
Speaker 1: comment about, but they get like it's literally everything. It's
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild and like even the I mean Piers
Speaker 1: Morgan is you know, we don't go to him for
Speaker 1: our well informed takes, but like the fact that there
Speaker 1: are people openly being like that was terrible. They sucked,
Speaker 1: They were mean to the Crown like that. There there
Speaker 1: are people who are like, I'm team Crown on this
Speaker 1: one and have been. It's like a culture war moment
Speaker 1: for them over there though too, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because the second Harry picked her, he was getting attacked
Speaker 1: like you fucking race Trader and all this other ship
Speaker 1: where they were beginning to have that one person's choice,
Speaker 1: Um was forcing a reckoning over what even these people
Speaker 1: thought what the royal family was, because clearly him doing
Speaker 1: that meant now people have been like it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be just white people, like is the you know, the
Speaker 1: energy that they're coming with um? And yet to even
Speaker 1: like watch now, like how people are taking corners, how
Speaker 1: somebody like we have to like how how could he
Speaker 1: go against the crown or whatever? It's like, well, let's
Speaker 1: first of all be a little more objective about it
Speaker 1: as an institution, uh, And what has been done in
Speaker 1: the name of the crown over centuries. I mean even
Speaker 1: just go to your history museum and you see a
Speaker 1: lot of stolen ship in there, and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, what's what's the what's this thing really about?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, so it's like they're having
Speaker 1: to also deal with sort of the duplicity of it
Speaker 1: being this like regal monarchy, but at the same time
Speaker 1: it's tied to imperialism empire, like you know, colonial, like
Speaker 1: being being colonizers. I've been to Ghana, which was in English,
Speaker 1: um colony, and I've seen the slave castles where they're
Speaker 1: sending the slaves from and you're like, yeah, that's still
Speaker 1: this is in the name of the like this this
Speaker 1: ship is everywhere. But then there's this like very elegant
Speaker 1: face being put on that even I think most people
Speaker 1: in the world are deceived by like having to be
Speaker 1: like that old lady and this like no, no, like
Speaker 1: it's it's but no, but that's what it is. I
Speaker 1: think I think, um, you know, after the Oprah interview,
Speaker 1: I think Prince Harry should should really do this the
Speaker 1: American way and challenge Prince William to a televised boxing
Speaker 1: boxing Like that is the way to solve the beef.
Speaker 1: It's just like YouTube. I mean, maybe we can even
Speaker 1: get Jake Paul and Logan Paul to to fight before
Speaker 1: they can be the opening. Yeah, yeah, that would be
Speaker 1: That's how we solve beefs. That's how we saw brother
Speaker 1: view brother, That's how we solved beefs in this country.
Speaker 1: Like pashed me outside, William, pash me outside. I want
Speaker 1: to see that that would be out if the somebody
Speaker 1: else pointed out on Twitter that the pulling the security
Speaker 1: thing is also incredibly significant to Harry because that was
Speaker 1: what happened with Diana right before she died and you know,
Speaker 1: running away from the paparazzi. And I think we're having
Speaker 1: a kind of referendum on uh, just how damaging being
Speaker 1: chased around your entire life and like having your privacy
Speaker 1: taken away from you by a when you're a woman,
Speaker 1: by a misogynist paparazzi public I like male gaze feel
Speaker 1: it feels like, yeah, that would absolutely completely destroy your life.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's what happened to Diana, That's what
Speaker 1: happened to Brittany in America. And it sounds like that's
Speaker 1: the direction that you know, Megan was headed. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing was, yeah, pretty harrowing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just I wonder what the reverberations are going to be,
Speaker 1: if any in terms of like if they're in being
Speaker 1: any kind of reckoning the royal family. But I doubt
Speaker 1: it because there they've been going this long without having
Speaker 1: to have one, so why start now, I mean they've
Speaker 1: been everybody but Charles has been looking for a reason
Speaker 1: to skip Charles and go right to William when he
Speaker 1: becomes king. So I don't know if this if it
Speaker 1: if it does turn out to be Charles who was
Speaker 1: asking that question, if they can use that to pick
Speaker 1: up momentum, But that's only because everyone just thinks Charles
Speaker 1: is boring, like it's not not no good reason, It's
Speaker 1: not like William. I mean that's the other thing is
Speaker 1: like the media around the monarchy and England is like
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties media around JFK, Like there's all sorts
Speaker 1: of affairs and ship that they just like they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't we don't talk about that, like nobody knows
Speaker 1: about that or just what the media is for each
Speaker 1: respective party, you know what I mean, Like how MSMB
Speaker 1: critical Democrats and Fox would never say anything critical Republicans,
Speaker 1: And you're just like you're left with this like fucked up,
Speaker 1: like just tepid version of reality that isn't really giving
Speaker 1: you much to think about. You alright, let's talk about
Speaker 1: some progress being made on the vaccination front. Uh, We're
Speaker 1: we're starting to see up to two million people a
Speaker 1: day getting vaccine. My folks just got a an appointment.
Speaker 1: So that's that's exciting after like, you know, uh, months
Speaker 1: of just being like in a cough s nightmare of
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you're you're end up psych when you
Speaker 1: go to the thing to it's just like non NonStop
Speaker 1: bureaucratic like red tape thrown up and you're and they're
Speaker 1: over sixty five. Anyways, we are starting to see some
Speaker 1: progress there, and now old people are in the process of,
Speaker 1: you know, figuring out I guess I guess we're all
Speaker 1: in the process of figuring out, like what what do
Speaker 1: you what do you do? What's life? Because it's a
Speaker 1: lot of old people who like they just feel like
Speaker 1: day walkers right now and they don't know what their
Speaker 1: abilities are. They're like, hold on, I can't funk around
Speaker 1: with huh um, and yeah, the CDC now is just
Speaker 1: like letting people know these are some dudes and don't
Speaker 1: now it's there's some there's is some pushback where some
Speaker 1: people like I don't know if you should want to
Speaker 1: articulate all this out loud like this if it's too
Speaker 1: much or whatever. But this is what the CDC is saying. Um.
Speaker 1: First off, they're saying, if you're fully vaccinated, you could
Speaker 1: let it bang with other fully vaccinated people. If you're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: your other people in your bridge group are all so
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated and you can now kick it indoors, no
Speaker 1: social distancing, no masks. But it's like three or four people, right, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: they but like still no massive gatherings, but like that
Speaker 1: is very very low risk, and they'll say you can
Speaker 1: forego a quarantine and testing if you've been exposed or
Speaker 1: you know, with through contact tracing, you may have been exposed. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we'll see old people clubs popping up soon. And
Speaker 1: the guidelines are also staying that the fully vaccinated can
Speaker 1: visit with non vaccinated people without wearing masks or social distancing,
Speaker 1: as long as the people who are not vaccinated are
Speaker 1: at a low risk of developing severe COVID nineteen symptoms um,
Speaker 1: and are also like safe with it in other contexts.
Speaker 1: So not somebody who's like, oh ship, my grandma's in town,
Speaker 1: like fully vaccinated. I just got back from this like
Speaker 1: River Rave that was like wildly like I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: kiss or like not not don't do that. If you've
Speaker 1: been responsible to then like you can have a little
Speaker 1: socializing as a treat and yeah, so that like this
Speaker 1: is this is all nice. The other thing is they're
Speaker 1: not budging on like travel guidelines obviously saying no to
Speaker 1: massive gatherings and non essential travel, um, but a lot
Speaker 1: of people like, see you you should have maybe like
Speaker 1: lead with this about the vaccine rather than like we
Speaker 1: need to get vaccinated to be safe. Because if you
Speaker 1: if you told a lot of people, hey, if you're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: you can begin to regain some semblance of your previous
Speaker 1: life um through this, rather than just saying like vaccine
Speaker 1: and it's yeah. And I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: knew that already, who are like aware enough of what
Speaker 1: it means to be vaccinated. But I guess that does
Speaker 1: extend to like, yeah, this is America too, So you
Speaker 1: need to be like, hey, you this this is how
Speaker 1: you get back to doing that dumb ship that you
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But at the same time having to
Speaker 1: balance that with just because your vaccinated, don't immediately go
Speaker 1: back to doing the dumb ship, so it's a bit
Speaker 1: of a balancing act for them. Yeah, I'll admit I
Speaker 1: had no idea that you could hang out with people
Speaker 1: after you got vaccinated. Like yeah, I mean I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be presumptuous because like because like
Speaker 1: the mask fiasco, it's just confusing. It's like, don't wear
Speaker 1: a mask. Mess don't work. And then it's like wear
Speaker 1: a mask. You have to wear a mask. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's like what you know? So it's like, this
Speaker 1: is great, I just learned something new, and I learned
Speaker 1: that we can hang out again you want to vaccinated
Speaker 1: not on to loom, but it's like a lot of
Speaker 1: people have been. But I'm going to Talloom with my
Speaker 1: bridge club and we'll end the bridge in the beach cottages.
Speaker 1: I feel like overall, like what what you're talking about
Speaker 1: the messaging around this, Like I think the lesson that
Speaker 1: we're learning that I think is like one of the
Speaker 1: most like broadest and most damaging myths is that like
Speaker 1: like thinking about people like they're animals that you're trying
Speaker 1: to like control with like this command or that command.
Speaker 1: It's like people figure it out, Like people like just
Speaker 1: I think more and more we just need to be
Speaker 1: honest with people because the the kind of controlled flow
Speaker 1: of information that was attempted where it was like it's
Speaker 1: way worse thing you think it's, you know, like just
Speaker 1: kind of all these different confusing piece of information just
Speaker 1: trying to get people to like do the right thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like that didn't work. We saw that that
Speaker 1: doesn't work, and like it just being honest and not
Speaker 1: assuming people are are dumb. Like you're still going to
Speaker 1: have people who do the dumb thing. But I feel
Speaker 1: like by like not being completely open with the information
Speaker 1: throughout the pandemic, it led to some of the people
Speaker 1: just being like, well, it's all a lie. And it
Speaker 1: enabled like people who used the pandemic to control and
Speaker 1: to lie to vast groups of people. Uh. They use
Speaker 1: that as an opportunity to like kind of get more
Speaker 1: of a foothold than they would have otherwise. Just curious
Speaker 1: when we're gonna get vaccinated. I just checked my this
Speaker 1: so after this story, and not because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: sick parties. Uh, I gotta my parents are fucking partying there,
Speaker 1: dog bro No, But I just checked my registration at
Speaker 1: my turn dot gov. They made it into like a
Speaker 1: my turn like a kid being like arguing for that
Speaker 1: he's first in line. Um. First of all, the age
Speaker 1: group that they are grouping me in puts me in
Speaker 1: with sixteen year old at sixteen to forty nine, so
Speaker 1: thank you very much. But as yeah, so anybody who
Speaker 1: thinks I'm old, I'm basically a sixteen year old. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then they ask you like the other big question
Speaker 1: they ask is like what your profession is, and it's
Speaker 1: all jobs that are important uh and podcaster or media
Speaker 1: or entertainment podcast host. Sorry sir, not I could find
Speaker 1: is like communications slash but they made it communications Slash
Speaker 1: tech support. So it's like just basically like things that
Speaker 1: need to be done in person. Uh yeah. A lot
Speaker 1: of people who work retail though, like they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to get vaccinated. I'm like, yeah, exactly, like help
Speaker 1: people who like whose business it is to be out
Speaker 1: in public and exposed, and like the people who are
Speaker 1: able to just home, dwell, fucking just you know, pop
Speaker 1: the other Netflix ship on and just stay patient for
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Anyways, me and my fellow kids
Speaker 1: who are in the other category, Uh, they let us
Speaker 1: know our turn is coming soon. But I think we're
Speaker 1: at the very very end of the line. So we'll
Speaker 1: see what. One kind of sign of normalization that was
Speaker 1: happening over the weekend is that, like the box office
Speaker 1: showed its first signs of life since everything shut down. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it was like in the twenty five million
Speaker 1: total box office, which would be uh probably in a
Speaker 1: normal circumstance, like the Disney movie that came out this weekend,
Speaker 1: if it had made only million at the box office,
Speaker 1: like that would have been considered a disaster. The entire
Speaker 1: box office made million, and everybody celebrating because this was
Speaker 1: the first weekend that New York basically had all their
Speaker 1: movie theaters opened to cent so like uh max fifty
Speaker 1: people per theater, um, and people like came back to
Speaker 1: the theater, they wanted to go to the theater, which
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were just like what if?
Speaker 1: What if? Everyone was just like nah, we're we're over it. Um.
Speaker 1: So New York is the second biggest market, l A
Speaker 1: is the biggest, and I think they opened in the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, so I know Eland and Ship
Speaker 1: is going to be fucking opening like the twenty one
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, I do wonder if the
Speaker 1: studios are going to backtrack on their plane to plan
Speaker 1: to just like drop everything on streaming, like especially now
Speaker 1: that they're getting close, and like I'm sure they have
Speaker 1: waste of funnel vaccines to for their people over others
Speaker 1: because that's typically how America works. Um, yeah, what'll happen?
Speaker 1: But like Ryan and the Last Dragon, Uh, they Disney
Speaker 1: Plus released it like Mulan where like you have to
Speaker 1: pay a hundred dollars like watch it at home. Uh,
Speaker 1: and not like Soul, which was like more mid pandemic,
Speaker 1: everybody gets to watch it because nobody's going to the theater. Uh,
Speaker 1: they actually held out hope. I just I just wonder.
Speaker 1: Like the big question is like Warner Brothers announcing that
Speaker 1: they're gonna drop all their biggest movies on HBO Max,
Speaker 1: Like is that going to like in in October when
Speaker 1: Dune is releasing, if like all movie theaters are open,
Speaker 1: are they still going to just drop it on HBO Max?
Speaker 1: I doubt it. Yeah. That feels like one of those
Speaker 1: things where they were like, yeah we said that in
Speaker 1: an ad. That doesn't mean ship. I mean, look how
Speaker 1: horny they are to make money that they made the
Speaker 1: box office is five million. It's like like they're not
Speaker 1: doing ship to help. Yeah, it'll it'll all come down
Speaker 1: to math. You know, more people are willing to pay,
Speaker 1: like stay home and pay the hundred dollars to walk
Speaker 1: dry on the last drag, and then they're gonna keep
Speaker 1: dropping the movies. Didnally you know, the movie theater will
Speaker 1: not be happy about that. No, And yeah, that like
Speaker 1: started a bit of a conflict, not as it would
Speaker 1: because they're like, hold on, you're trying to fucking skull
Speaker 1: fucking whole industry by just leap frogging straight to streaming.
Speaker 1: What's really sad as the smaller like the theaters like
Speaker 1: Alamo Drafthouse and like Nighthawk in New York like they've
Speaker 1: they've i mean Nighthawk is survived, which that's my favorite
Speaker 1: theater in New York. Um, but the uh, the the
Speaker 1: Alamo in Texas shut down, that's like the home they
Speaker 1: call myrpcy. But they're not having to shut down meant
Speaker 1: too many of the locations. But yeah, I mean definitely
Speaker 1: you know, indicative of what the what it looks like.
Speaker 1: Al Right, guys, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back and I just screened one
Speaker 1: of those, uh, one of those warranty calls. I feel
Speaker 1: like the warranty is the only spam call that like
Speaker 1: they have a good number generator or something, because I'm
Speaker 1: always like a little bit interesting, Like they just called
Speaker 1: me from the area code that my high school was in,
Speaker 1: Like it said, like the town that I went to
Speaker 1: high school and which is tricky. Or get the text
Speaker 1: where it's like says your name and you're like city
Speaker 1: you're in because of like the basic demographic info they
Speaker 1: can glean and then like you've got to click deuce
Speaker 1: link right now man to get your Bank of Ohman
Speaker 1: gift card. I'm like, Oman, not today, all right, let's uh,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Jack in the Box, uh and some
Speaker 1: other cultural bullshit. I mean, dude, three ten, I guess
Speaker 1: National Ranch Day. We've been planning for that for a
Speaker 1: while around here. I mean, yeah, looky, we have been.
Speaker 1: We got the we got the supersocers filled up with
Speaker 1: with ranch ready to go. But on Wednesday, if you
Speaker 1: live in l A, if you're blessed enough to live
Speaker 1: in this ship pit, you will be able to get
Speaker 1: all the free ranch you deserve because Jack in the
Speaker 1: Box they got their setting up these stations. They're called
Speaker 1: like Crave stations, um and they say crave what does
Speaker 1: that stand for? Hold onto your colostomy bags, old folks,
Speaker 1: because it's cool a f ranch automatic vending experience Crave. Okay, wow,
Speaker 1: so I said by to that. But they will be
Speaker 1: apparently set up like around the city. It's just inexplicably
Speaker 1: just giving out ranch, like nobody needs that. They have
Speaker 1: designed these to look like medical tents also, which was
Speaker 1: a weird decision, Like the coloring is very strange. It
Speaker 1: looks like a place where you would get a U
Speaker 1: brochure and like blood taken there. Like it's it's very strange. Yeah,
Speaker 1: read the read. Yeah, they're doing it on purpose. They're like, yo,
Speaker 1: come get back, get it. Like they're like, yo, I'm
Speaker 1: getting the cure to bland fries. Does this mean that
Speaker 1: that there is this like a promotion that they're now
Speaker 1: offering ranch that was happening, Like yeah, it's like they're
Speaker 1: butter milk. But it's just weird. It's just like I
Speaker 1: think it's just playing off of like the eric On
Speaker 1: Dre momentum of like obscene amounts of ranch aesthetic and
Speaker 1: in this one. It's like, imagine, dude, like you can
Speaker 1: just fill up a fucking bucket or ranch, and we're
Speaker 1: like Jack in the box boom. I don't know. Like
Speaker 1: and also in my mind is like I have all
Speaker 1: these sanitary questions like is it just this ranch? Is
Speaker 1: it B y O B like bring your own bucket
Speaker 1: or is it just a little plastic packs that they
Speaker 1: give out at the store. But it looks like if
Speaker 1: it's automated, it's got to be those little individual containers.
Speaker 1: It's a pandemic. But where do you guys stand on ranch?
Speaker 1: Pizza up? No pizza ranch? I do very specific pizza dominoes.
Speaker 1: I I dip in ranch because at that point, who gives.
Speaker 1: It's really about this, like if the dough is good,
Speaker 1: then that crust baby is it's it's still its own
Speaker 1: thing and you can still enjoy it. Yeah exactly. And
Speaker 1: then yeah, but ranch, I mean like others, I like
Speaker 1: it with fries, like more in a fried context. I'm
Speaker 1: down to funk around the burger joint with the ranch,
Speaker 1: but not like I don't have ranch in my home.
Speaker 1: I'll say that it's a ranch free home. Yeah this
Speaker 1: we do not we do. We don't ranch in this house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a ranch exactly, but we like we
Speaker 1: respect ranch, you know, critical supportive ranch. But you know
Speaker 1: the National Ranch Day tent has a little slogan on it, Hey,
Speaker 1: l A love that ranch drip um. So that's no,
Speaker 1: we do not cool like just the the excessive. Like
Speaker 1: they could have just said cool ranch automatic vending experience,
Speaker 1: but they had to throw the a f and well
Speaker 1: have you been have you seen Jack in the box? Like,
Speaker 1: have you been to a Jack in the box? Sorry,
Speaker 1: have you been to a Jack in the box recently? Jack? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: I mean look if you look at the cups and ship,
Speaker 1: it's all cringe e jokes, like it's all all hello
Speaker 1: fellow kids. You know, actually just just rife with colloquialisms.
Speaker 1: We didn't ask for. No, no, Well, speaking of things
Speaker 1: we didn't ask for, let's talk about another cartoon. Characters
Speaker 1: being canceled. Ah, my favorite, my personal favorite. What does
Speaker 1: this even mean when they're defining a thing as being canceled,
Speaker 1: that's not a person or a And this was a
Speaker 1: Hollywood reporter headline too, like so Pepe lapew who, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all get start and let's begin
Speaker 1: with Pepe Lape. So this character who is a a
Speaker 1: skunk who sexually intimidates, uh, assaults, harasses Uh other animals.
Speaker 1: I think a paint a paint cat? Is that what
Speaker 1: they're called? Painted cat? Uh? Is one of his targets
Speaker 1: of choice. Pepe was in a draft of Space Jam two. Uh.
Speaker 1: And because headline generating editorial rooms saw that blank is canceled,
Speaker 1: got them all the traffic last week. Uh, they are
Speaker 1: now saying Pepe Lapew removed from Space Jam sequel Space
Speaker 1: Jam two? Has Pepe Lapew really been canceled? Looney Tunes
Speaker 1: character Pepe Lapew canceled from new Space Jam movie? Uh? Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: he was removed when they changed directors in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: They had one they hadn't shot any of the live
Speaker 1: action ship yet, nothing had been animated. Uh, they're sorry.
Speaker 1: They had only shot the live action stuff, nothing had
Speaker 1: been animated yet. And the scene was specifically designed to
Speaker 1: call out Pepe is inherently problematic like nature behavior. Uh
Speaker 1: and it he mentioned that Penelope Cat has filed a
Speaker 1: restraining order against him. Then he tries to kiss Grace
Speaker 1: A Santo. I'm not familiar with her but she is
Speaker 1: one of the stars of the movie. Uh, and I've
Speaker 1: butchered her pronunciation, probably, But she throws a drink in
Speaker 1: his face. Then Lebron tells Pepe that he can't grab
Speaker 1: other tunes without their consent. That's what was going to
Speaker 1: be in the movie. Uh. And the right wing is
Speaker 1: outraged that that scene was removed. What's consent? What? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, think about if you're but that's what they're
Speaker 1: mad that got removed. Yeah, Well, because nothing exists and
Speaker 1: nothing's real, and like, let's be real, Like Looney Tunes
Speaker 1: has had some fucked up characters over the years that
Speaker 1: didn't like every fucking cartoon, anyone who's dabbled an animation.
Speaker 1: There's not a single animated show Everope, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know if we can do that one anymore, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But again, because this self victimization complex
Speaker 1: of just basically like characterizing the changing tides of society
Speaker 1: as an act of aggression by the oceans against you.
Speaker 1: It's like, what are they doing? What's going on? It's like, well,
Speaker 1: things are evolving. If you're in a fixed position and
Speaker 1: you're unwilling to actually have any sort of self awareness
Speaker 1: around this, so you're just going to treat this as
Speaker 1: an attack against you. Yeah. JM r. Our writer was
Speaker 1: pointing out that Looney Tune cartoons have always been edited
Speaker 1: for content like, uh, you know, obviously some of them
Speaker 1: are blanned for blatantly super racist characters, but they've always
Speaker 1: been modified in some form because they were in the
Speaker 1: nineteen forties, they were like created for adult audiences, like
Speaker 1: who they showed before movies and during the war where
Speaker 1: it was literally bugs bunny nips. The nips was fucking
Speaker 1: thing they showed. And what's the other one there was
Speaker 1: there was a lot of this wild, i mean, super
Speaker 1: problematic ship. Yeah, there's like Popeye ones that were like again,
Speaker 1: is the one there's I'm reading right now, you're a
Speaker 1: sap mr Japp, which was using Popeye to be like, yo,
Speaker 1: we're fighting the Japanese Empire or whatever, like the war,
Speaker 1: but like, let's not act like you're not in the
Speaker 1: business of, you know, exploiting racial tensions for entertainment, like
Speaker 1: with your other characters too, even if it's not a war. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and in the sixties they even edited for just like
Speaker 1: to make it more child friendly, like not without thinking
Speaker 1: of like offensiveness or anything, just like this is going
Speaker 1: to make more sense to kids, Like this has always
Speaker 1: been a thing that Warner Brothers and all cartoon makers do,
Speaker 1: and like the idea that it's new is absurd. Who
Speaker 1: are the who are the cleanest cartoons? Like Tom and Jerry.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're not going to get canceled even
Speaker 1: the smoke that cigarette and they just try and kill
Speaker 1: each other NonStop. Right. Uh, there's Thomas in black face
Speaker 1: in the Yankee Doodle a mouse from Jesus correctly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no. I mean, like that's the whole thing, is like,
Speaker 1: because the cartoons back then was the easiest way to
Speaker 1: smear another group of people because you could you were
Speaker 1: in control of their image, their disposition, what they stood for.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like you got just ship like Speedy Gonzalez.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you're this is smearing like Mexican people
Speaker 1: through this character being like this, you know, like lethargic
Speaker 1: do like come on? Yeah. Um. One interesting side note
Speaker 1: about Pepe Lapew is that they had a movie that
Speaker 1: was going to be made up until uh, a full
Speaker 1: length Peppe Lapew movie. Uh, And then it was revealed
Speaker 1: during the Me Too movement that they had commission the
Speaker 1: script for this movie from Max Landis uh and he
Speaker 1: described his movie as a romantic French new wave sixties
Speaker 1: heist movies starring Pepe Lapew and Uh it fell apart
Speaker 1: when one of the women he one of the many
Speaker 1: women here here ass recounted that he jokingly called her
Speaker 1: a paint cat, a specific reference to the target of
Speaker 1: Pepe's advances. So he was like, ha, ha, I identify
Speaker 1: with Pepe Lapew personally, and that is why I want
Speaker 1: to make a movie about a cartoon character who repeatedly
Speaker 1: gets away with Uh. You also just I can't like,
Speaker 1: you know, I asked people on the right, what did
Speaker 1: you What did y'all do to Colin Kaepernick? Right? You know, yep,
Speaker 1: what did you What did you do with all the
Speaker 1: Tipper Gore explicit advisory music, fucking crusades all went on
Speaker 1: in the fucking eighties and nineties. That was that was
Speaker 1: your That was your version. You've been dabbling and cancel
Speaker 1: whatever you perceived to be canceled culture for a minute. Um,
Speaker 1: but the differences right now they've used that sort of
Speaker 1: same mechanism to try and be like PEPSI needs to
Speaker 1: drop ludicrous, as Bill Riley did like twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: Uh and successfully did that to now just basically avoid
Speaker 1: describing things for what they are, which is accountability or
Speaker 1: the asking people to account for decisions that were being
Speaker 1: made creatively, not that you know whatever. I don't need
Speaker 1: a fucking apology from Warner Brothers or whatever. Fucking peppular abuse, trash,
Speaker 1: fucking keep it moving. I don't give a funk about it.
Speaker 1: But has nothing to do with my existence as a
Speaker 1: person who already has a ton of existential threats to
Speaker 1: deal with. But like this, just watching this all come together, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's exhausting, and it's just the the willful ignorance
Speaker 1: on the right to act like this isn't something that
Speaker 1: they are very comfortable dealing in, rather than saying, like,
Speaker 1: can we how about this for a second? Will I
Speaker 1: ever see a thing on Fox News that says is
Speaker 1: what Peppe Lapew doing, like if that were a human character,
Speaker 1: or if this is what's being depicted there is that
Speaker 1: perpetuating rape culture? Or would they even do a segment
Speaker 1: on rape culture? Because if you did, you would then
Speaker 1: have to begin introducing all these analyzes to your programming
Speaker 1: that would well, start veering in what they call cancel culture,
Speaker 1: or at least acknowledging, Oh this thing we've were this is,
Speaker 1: this has moved on, this is changing for the better,
Speaker 1: and we have to embrace these things versus whatever fighting
Speaker 1: on behalf of the fossils. The point about it being exhausting,
Speaker 1: uh kind of brings me this last thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to just bring up in the context as is sort
Speaker 1: of an ongoing question, but uh, like I was saying
Speaker 1: in the intro, Adam Curtis his name is the documentary
Speaker 1: director of hyper Normalization. Just released a six part documentary
Speaker 1: on the BBC Can't Get You Out of My Head.
Speaker 1: You can find it. You can watch it on YouTube
Speaker 1: for free. Like. One of the arguments that he makes
Speaker 1: is that culture like both online culture, uh and culture
Speaker 1: like music, movies, TV like this sort of ship that
Speaker 1: culture wars are fought over is something that has been
Speaker 1: like almost created by the current like system of power
Speaker 1: as a release valve two like get the revolutionary energy
Speaker 1: out of us um. And the way he illustrates this
Speaker 1: is with Tupac's mother, who was a you know, incredible revolutionary,
Speaker 1: a black panther who defended herself in court for a
Speaker 1: bombing plot she was entrapped into and both got herself
Speaker 1: and all the other Black Panthers acquitted, and also got
Speaker 1: the undercover FBI agent to admit that what they've done
Speaker 1: together when he was pretending to be part of the
Speaker 1: Black Panther movement was beautiful. Like it's it's like I'm
Speaker 1: out of a movie, like like the rom com where
Speaker 1: it's like, even though I was duplicity, those times were
Speaker 1: a beautiful bay. Yeah, and like their goal was beautiful,
Speaker 1: the goal of the Black Panther movement as they're trying
Speaker 1: to make her seem like a villain. And then he
Speaker 1: kind of says, so Tupac inherits this legacy and he
Speaker 1: has all the trappings of like revolution and the energy
Speaker 1: of a revolutionary, but it's sort of pushed off into
Speaker 1: this direction of more individualistic artistic expression, and you know
Speaker 1: that's sort of the other side of the coin. Like
Speaker 1: kind of a more straightforward example would be the culture warship,
Speaker 1: like us arguing over culture worship when you know there
Speaker 1: is there are people who are starving in America, uh um.
Speaker 1: And so he kind of does a historical look at
Speaker 1: this through and like sort of the prism of Us
Speaker 1: Chinese British history over the last like seventy years, like
Speaker 1: through this dichotomy of like individualism versus collectivism, and like
Speaker 1: how individualism has won out and put us in this
Speaker 1: version of reality that we live in now where we're
Speaker 1: sublimating our anxieties and like anxieties that are caused by
Speaker 1: structural problems through like individual expression with no aim, but
Speaker 1: like the beauty of art and that like makes us
Speaker 1: less empowered, would be I guess an argument that he
Speaker 1: raises and I don't know, I thought that was interesting,
Speaker 1: but just kind of in the context of the culture war,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if you can swap out your energy
Speaker 1: for outrage over children being killed in the Middle East
Speaker 1: or or you know, starving American kids or unarmed black
Speaker 1: people being killed for getting into like well, hold on, man,
Speaker 1: Lola Bunny's titties should look at certain like yeah, we're
Speaker 1: fucking You've completely lost the plot um and it's hard
Speaker 1: to like refocus things or try and get a media
Speaker 1: to like focus refocus things on, like when you have
Speaker 1: these other things, you can kind of like you're saying
Speaker 1: this release valve and get your anger out on this
Speaker 1: completely misguided misdirected way. But it's a like if it's
Speaker 1: as cynical as like we're kind of looking at this
Speaker 1: of how it organically becomes a system guarding itself against
Speaker 1: revolutionary action and ideation, then it's like very elegant and
Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit. I think also in like a
Speaker 1: very dystopian way, it is so much easier to, let's
Speaker 1: call it, bully a studio into removing a character because
Speaker 1: they care exclusively about money, and just like, okay, everyone's mad,
Speaker 1: let's take them out. Whereas you know, affecting real change
Speaker 1: is fucking hard, and the and the gatekeepers are the government,
Speaker 1: you know, and the government doesn't give a fuck, Like
Speaker 1: corporations give a funk because their bottom line will hurt government,
Speaker 1: they don't give a funk. They're not even sending out checks,
Speaker 1: you know, Like it doesn't matter if it's Biden's government trumps,
Speaker 1: it's always going to be more difficult to affect change
Speaker 1: within the government. So it's like it's like this really
Speaker 1: it's it's a release valve, but like we continuously see
Speaker 1: changed on. He was a funny example of like even
Speaker 1: though just as simple as like the Sonic the Hedgehog,
Speaker 1: movie where they were like, he looks too human. This
Speaker 1: movie sucks, and so they like literally readd the movie
Speaker 1: because the people spoke and and then it's like we won,
Speaker 1: you know, and and it's easier to win that way.
Speaker 1: It feels like you're winning when you're having these conversations
Speaker 1: that like technically don't matter or don't matter as much.
Speaker 1: And you compare that to the millions of people who
Speaker 1: pour into the streets over the summer, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: against systemic racism and over policing and things like that,
Speaker 1: and it's like, can't get a fucking dubbed there, Nope,
Speaker 1: And most you've got Joe Biden being like shoot him
Speaker 1: in the leg or fucking how about like we ask
Speaker 1: nicely for people to show their hands before we start clapping,
Speaker 1: like it's not it, that's really we needed sonic the
Speaker 1: Hedgehog results there, you know what I mean? And I
Speaker 1: think that's Yeah, I really like to put it that way.
Speaker 1: It's like we we're looking for sonic type responses, um,
Speaker 1: but we get in these sonic type arguments all the time.
Speaker 1: So it's completely yeah, obscures the energy and puts it
Speaker 1: in many different directions. Yeah, and those those movements happened
Speaker 1: when culture kind of ground to a halt. So I
Speaker 1: mean that would be another piece of evidence that like
Speaker 1: there's something about this distracting kind of constant cultural you
Speaker 1: know conversation, especially like these current culture war things that
Speaker 1: are conversations completely started by the right wing, that that
Speaker 1: is just you know, siphoning off energy that is much
Speaker 1: better spent elsewhere. Um yeah, so uh anyways, Kareem, it
Speaker 1: has been so fun having you, man. Yeah, where can
Speaker 1: you guys for having me on? Where can people find you?
