Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh These are some of our favorite segments
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really well, we are throwed to be
Speaker 1: joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented
Speaker 1: Kyle Air. Thank you, thank you. You know it's Christie.
Speaker 1: I'm a Gucci Maine. That's art. That name is art. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I would expect no less from that.
Speaker 1: I would be so happy that I will wouldn't do
Speaker 1: anything the rest of that day. I've done, I've done
Speaker 1: some stuff that he persists. The hustle. You gotta admire it.
Speaker 1: How is your week? How is that Super Bowl for you? Kyle?
Speaker 1: Oh it's bad, you know, as far as like one
Speaker 1: isolated game. I'm Chiefs fans. Remember it was fun to
Speaker 1: answer the question does football have to be a team sport?
Speaker 1: We all got to answer it, and it turns out, yeah,
Speaker 1: you need a team because can one man do it? No?
Speaker 1: Will that stop him from trying? Absolutely not. Man. That
Speaker 1: was like as bad as that game was for the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: like just some of the throws he was making, uh
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes like as he was like there there was
Speaker 1: one throw. You know, he was just running around for
Speaker 1: his life behind the line of scrimmage. But he was
Speaker 1: like making throws like with his head like almost on
Speaker 1: the greatest ever seen. And it sounds dumb to be like,
Speaker 1: what a great incomplete but had he had that were dropped,
Speaker 1: that's what the most always straining parts. Hit a man
Speaker 1: in the face mask in the end zone while throwing
Speaker 1: the ball while he's parallel to the ground. Had he
Speaker 1: caught that, the highlights still would have kind of disappeared
Speaker 1: because they lost. But I don't think it's hyperbole for
Speaker 1: me to say that might been the greatest throw I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. And it doesn't matter because
Speaker 1: you know how like you always hear like like the
Speaker 1: best This the funniest thing that's ever been said was
Speaker 1: probably not during a stand up show. The greatest basketball
Speaker 1: shot that's ever been made was probably a backyard horse shot.
Speaker 1: None of us saw that was the greatest throw I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life, and it got dropped. It
Speaker 1: hit a dude in the face, It was hit a
Speaker 1: guy in the face, hitting people in the hands and
Speaker 1: the face mask and they were dropping it. It is
Speaker 1: like if all of the catchable balls he threw had
Speaker 1: been caught, I don't know that you guys would have
Speaker 1: lost the game. Maybe goes in a different path. Too
Speaker 1: many things went wrong to say that, Like, there were
Speaker 1: a lot of bad penalties that I disagreed with for
Speaker 1: the first quarter and a half, but then they did
Speaker 1: not have an offensive line, which you need, you need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it felt like have you ever played a video game
Speaker 1: against someone who knew the buttons right? This is like
Speaker 1: if I've never played Madden, but I picked the best team,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some weird plays by just hitting you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? What's going on? That's kind of
Speaker 1: what it felt like, and it was not fun to watch,
Speaker 1: but I'm still you try and keep things in perspective.
Speaker 1: Sports fandom is such a bizarre thing if you think
Speaker 1: about it, like it's a reality show. I've been watching
Speaker 1: my whole life, and they finally rewarded my character last
Speaker 1: year after thirty years of them not you know, Susan
Speaker 1: Lucci Emmy win. It felt more like the Peter Otool
Speaker 1: Oscar win where we were a hundred and forty years
Speaker 1: in and they were like, he might not be here
Speaker 1: next year, and so this is I still have to
Speaker 1: be like I could. I can't believe that guy's the
Speaker 1: quarterback of the team I watched. He's the most fun.
Speaker 1: Kansas City has never had the most fun player in
Speaker 1: any sport. Now they have Steph Curry, which is like
Speaker 1: he's probably the best, and he's by far the most fun. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: So I just gotta be happy to be there. I'm
Speaker 1: just I am tired of Tom Brady and that's not
Speaker 1: even his fault, well it is, but a negative thing
Speaker 1: to him. What is something you think is underrated? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1: Both of these are in honor of the twenty one
Speaker 1: anniversary of Jim Varney's death. I'm gonna say underrated, Ernest
Speaker 1: scared stupid, Okay, overrated. Ernest saves Christmas, and I love
Speaker 1: Christmas and Christmas movies, but I don't know, it's not
Speaker 1: I think I think, honestly, maybe Earnest Goes to Jail
Speaker 1: would be the my favorite. But Christmas gets a lot
Speaker 1: of shine, and I feel like Halloween really is earnest
Speaker 1: true holiday, and that's scared stupid as a Halloween Philip
Speaker 1: that's the one, like the Pumpkin cover. I just know
Speaker 1: every Earnest film just had Jim Varney just given that
Speaker 1: full like I grin. I can't imagine um how delicately
Speaker 1: they handled the carceol system of the United States in
Speaker 1: their analysis to the Ernest Goes to Jail prism from
Speaker 1: the year. This is why I think it needs more
Speaker 1: credit because Ernest, across all of his properties, you would
Speaker 1: think would would go a little bit more racist, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't like at any point. No, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1: I feel like that was the thing that my first
Speaker 1: assumption about a like Earnest thing because I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you talk like the scary people from the
Speaker 1: movies my grandpa shows me right right, and then you're like,
Speaker 1: oh wait these are more kid friend, then you really
Speaker 1: like he's like he was like a good guy, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a really he was a very good guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and like pretty diverse casting and yeah, he just never
Speaker 1: goes this like sort of ignorant hillbilly route that he
Speaker 1: could have. Uh but yeah, all right, pee man, Yeah
Speaker 1: I missed. That's an amazing story that that started as
Speaker 1: a radio advertisement and then yeah, it's really crazy is
Speaker 1: he He was like the local commercial guy. It seemed like,
Speaker 1: so he was advertising like a million different places, like
Speaker 1: in these small towns because you're just like, oh, you
Speaker 1: want a commercial, get Earnest. He's the commercial guys. So
Speaker 1: you know you could be like dueling pizza restaurants have
Speaker 1: the same guy in their commercial essentially because he just
Speaker 1: had such a good idea, I should I should do
Speaker 1: this for the neighborhood restaurants, commercial bucks, just some food. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder like if there's a someone has an archive
Speaker 1: of the Jim Varney local adsumentary that needs to be
Speaker 1: made there on a Latimore on YouTube on YouTube, okay,
Speaker 1: because I'm curiously see like what because it's such a
Speaker 1: specific flavor, because like the whole hey vern thing was
Speaker 1: him breaking the fourth wall? Wasn't it like about like
Speaker 1: Verne was the person on the other side of the camera,
Speaker 1: wasn't it Verne was all of us smiles. Oh my,
Speaker 1: Verne is like really stupid, Like he's way dumber than Earnest.
Speaker 1: So yeah, as a kid, you're like, I guess I'm verned,
Speaker 1: I'm burned, I'm Verne. Was Verne? Did we ever meet
Speaker 1: Verne in the films. I mean you see his hands
Speaker 1: and stuff like he you know, he's like Claw from
Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget. It's like a very dumb version of Claw,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Verne, Yeah, he trademarked that thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out to him. Uh and and the Earnest films,
Speaker 1: which none of which I saw for some reason that
Speaker 1: missed me. Um So I need to I need to
Speaker 1: do my work. I'm yeah, I'm interious to see because
Speaker 1: it's funny that I know. The last thing, the last
Speaker 1: Jim Varney thing I sought out to watch was the
Speaker 1: Beverly Hill Billies. Right, it was like two years ago.
Speaker 1: A lot of people's like introduction to him and then
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, he's got all these other right, yeah,
Speaker 1: but in the South, you know, it was a superstar
Speaker 1: for him. He's like Killer Bees. Do you guys know
Speaker 1: that comedian? Oh no, I thought you were talking about
Speaker 1: the actual phenomenon of Southern comedian name Killer Bees. And
Speaker 1: his tagline is save up, you better save up. It
Speaker 1: is just like solid conservative financial advice pretty much. Wait,
Speaker 1: what did Killer Bees look like? Did he dress like him? Like?
Speaker 1: He had to have dressed in black and yellow? Right? No,
Speaker 1: he just looks like an old white guy. I don't know,
Speaker 1: he's really funny. I can't. I didn't. Killer Bees is
Speaker 1: just the comedian's name. Yeah, it's pretty tight, right, Like
Speaker 1: he's not a rapper, he's b E A Z Killer Bees. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that is like one of those nicknames
Speaker 1: that like, yeah, that that's his name is like bees,
Speaker 1: his last name is Bees something. They're like, hey, it's
Speaker 1: killer Bees. Hey it's true. At S. Beasley Jr. Just
Speaker 1: started killing so hard people started calling killer Bees. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that dude crushes. Yeah. They say it stemmed from an
Speaker 1: incident in his childhood where a friend went into anaphylactic
Speaker 1: shock after a series of beastings. Beasley then threw his
Speaker 1: epinephrin pen into the river. Uh, and then his friend died,
Speaker 1: giving him the name Killer Bees. Up. I'll leeg you.
Speaker 1: I just made that up on a joke podcast. Okay.
Speaker 1: That was so it was, Oh, that's amazing for anybody who,
Speaker 1: like I was confused why they thought they could make
Speaker 1: a TV show out of the Geiko cave Man. They
Speaker 1: trying to recreate the magic of earnest, you know, just
Speaker 1: that that's but that's the next level. That's the next
Speaker 1: level talent. I mean it's also hot. Kind of a
Speaker 1: hot young dude. Uh back in the day, like obviously, Oh,
Speaker 1: I think he's very attractive. Oh yeah, when he was unverned,
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, Jim Varney, Yeah, exactly what I said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a young there's a picture of him as a
Speaker 1: young man, just like, you know, making love to the camera,
Speaker 1: uh and through his eye, not literally, just like you know,
Speaker 1: he's given the camera look. That's like, damn. When I
Speaker 1: knew was vern were a yeah, I wish we were burned.
Speaker 1: Vern Verne always kept his hands visible, so we know
Speaker 1: he wasn't touching. Yeah, we were talking about Mike, but
Speaker 1: we were talking about the fact that the Wiggles keep
Speaker 1: give the thumbs up and all their pictures because they
Speaker 1: want uh people, the parents to know that their hands
Speaker 1: are not up to any shenanigans. They're not doing anything,
Speaker 1: which is important. Yeah, good policy. Winger around children constantly
Speaker 1: for a living, right and then just any and like
Speaker 1: and just there will always anything that could look improper untoward.
Speaker 1: You never want to be in a situation where you're like, no,
Speaker 1: I I just had my hand in my pocket and
Speaker 1: they're like, we don't know, buddy, yeah, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is why I do this all the time. Now.
Speaker 1: It's always thumbs up, Like, but what's in their palms? Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? So I I think?
Speaker 1: I I asked this morning while I was eating breakfast.
Speaker 1: I asked my girlfriend both underrated and what are things
Speaker 1: I think are underrating? Overrated? She goes, oh, you think
Speaker 1: everything's overrated? And I was like, okay, what's something I
Speaker 1: think I was underrated? She goes, oh, you think everything
Speaker 1: is underrated. It's like, I can't be both. And then
Speaker 1: I was like, give me a specific example of either.
Speaker 1: She goes, I can't think of any and I was like,
Speaker 1: this sounds like a youth thing. That sounds like something
Speaker 1: that projecting on to me. No details, But I think
Speaker 1: comedy acting is so underrated, yes, actual art form. I
Speaker 1: think that acting in a comedy is hard, and I
Speaker 1: think it is underrated because people are like, look at
Speaker 1: the funny person being funny, I think, and I will
Speaker 1: I say to this day often. Rachel McAdams deserved an
Speaker 1: OSCAR nomination for Mean Girls, and there are ten equivalent
Speaker 1: performances every ten years in comedy that no one else
Speaker 1: could do. It's so funny too, because it's it's even
Speaker 1: the thing that actors acknowledge is harder than the thing
Speaker 1: they're constantly like lauded for. You know, when people are like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, the dramatic forms like I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with do comedy is way harder than It's so
Speaker 1: much harder to be funny than it is to pretend
Speaker 1: to be Lyndon Johnson or whatever. It's actually hard to
Speaker 1: pretend to be Lyndon Johnson and that not be funny.
Speaker 1: As since he was about the new movie Lyndon b laughing,
Speaker 1: he did use his aids as a pis screens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like those calls. I mean, how do you do
Speaker 1: with a straight faced say bung hole like he does,
Speaker 1: and like try and while being sworn in? Had that
Speaker 1: delivered while being sworn in with Jackie standing right there,
Speaker 1: bung hole. I'm just saying it's a funny word. Faithfully
Speaker 1: execute the duties of this office upon my bung hole
Speaker 1: has this entire suit pulled up over the top of
Speaker 1: his head like Beavis Cornelio. Cornelio pulled up over his head.
Speaker 1: That dude is one of my Like, uh, Daniel O'Brien
Speaker 1: from Cracked and now last week Tonight used to uh
Speaker 1: talk about like just there's all these wild stories behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. He would make reporters do interviews with him
Speaker 1: while he was pooping on the toilet, like because it
Speaker 1: was like a power move of something sort um. He
Speaker 1: would show people his what he called big jumbo because
Speaker 1: I guess he had a big a big penis. He
Speaker 1: exposed himself a lot to people. Yeah, tons, Uh what
Speaker 1: am I? Why am I surprised at someone who runs
Speaker 1: the United States isn't also flashing their dick. Imagine running
Speaker 1: a country because a guy died and not having a
Speaker 1: weird ego exactly and then being like, well he left
Speaker 1: me with a fucking mess up a country right now? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's assuming that he had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it, which now you've seen the picture. Why was
Speaker 1: he ever smiling? Um? The he's like looking at looking
Speaker 1: over JFK Like, uh, but sorry, I distracted from your point.
Speaker 1: I think is a really good one. The like it's
Speaker 1: definitely harder to pull off and like in the case
Speaker 1: of Rachel McAdams, like that is a more lasting performance
Speaker 1: than any dramatic performance from that year, like culturally impactful.
Speaker 1: Uh sorry, my son is Ramsey or take he's He's
Speaker 1: been honestly laying on the ground and like stage yawning
Speaker 1: during like every time I talk just being oh man, um,
Speaker 1: oh man, you're on that one again. But it's all
Speaker 1: just about how like that's a youth like the audience
Speaker 1: thing wanting to feel when when they won't nominate any
Speaker 1: comedy movies for Oscars, that's just because the Academy voters
Speaker 1: watching it want to feel like they're doing something serious
Speaker 1: and therefore like it's them. It's it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with like the actual power or cultural impact or
Speaker 1: feels like uh jet, you're right, it is jealousy. I
Speaker 1: will say that I don't I don't know what comedies
Speaker 1: came out the year Manchester by the Sea came out,
Speaker 1: but I bet they're a bunch of comedians who are
Speaker 1: good at being funny and can look like sad sex
Speaker 1: as ship and so I think that I Nope, I
Speaker 1: don't know much about Casey Affleck. I don't care to
Speaker 1: learn anything more about him, and I think he's been
Speaker 1: better in other movies. But that movie was just a
Speaker 1: guy being sad, and he it's and his version of
Speaker 1: sad was being quiet, and so he want to Oscar
Speaker 1: because uh cinematographer was good at making him look sad. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: give me, give me Bill Murray and groundhog Day, which
Speaker 1: is comedic and dramatic. Give me Rachel McAdams and Mean Girls.
Speaker 1: Give me everyone in Bridesmaids. I don't know, Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: probably should have want to Oscar Francor Man. We're still
Speaker 1: talking about it, and no one else could have done
Speaker 1: it like that. It's people just don't value it as
Speaker 1: as an art form. But then if they when they
Speaker 1: try and do it, they look a fool or they're
Speaker 1: just yeahs like using a baseball glove for cleanup, Like
Speaker 1: I'll take that over Manchruster by the city. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's you know, like they they're like
Speaker 1: you're saying, Jack, Like they can't really acknowledge how significant
Speaker 1: comedy is to culture and like how how much of
Speaker 1: a lasting impression that leaves on the audience, Like more
Speaker 1: people quote you know, not that it's I'm saying this
Speaker 1: needs to get an academy where, but more people will
Speaker 1: quote dumb and dumber then fucking saving Private Ryan or
Speaker 1: something like that. Like there's there's something about comedy that,
Speaker 1: like it really uplifts us and like we can draw
Speaker 1: upon something positive just like with a recollection of it.
Speaker 1: And granted, of course, like dramatic acting is an art
Speaker 1: form in and of itself as well, but art form right,
Speaker 1: and it's also wild. Yeah, Like so to not hold
Speaker 1: them up and be able to say, like it's like
Speaker 1: the Grammys saying like the only music is classical music. Yeah, yeah, exactly, No,
Speaker 1: you idiot, what are you talking about? Like people turn
Speaker 1: up to all this other I don't know if we
Speaker 1: need to just do like oscars need to do what
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes do. But then generally the Golden Globes
Speaker 1: gives the best comedic or musical performance to whatever is
Speaker 1: the most dramatic thing that pretends to be a comedy
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah yeah, the most dramatic movie that also
Speaker 1: made us laugh this year. I also wonder if there's
Speaker 1: something changing because like, uh not, to keep harkening back
Speaker 1: to Cracked, I have cracked on my brain. But the
Speaker 1: first podcast we did on for the Cracked podcast was
Speaker 1: about like how um comedy like ages poorly compared to drama,
Speaker 1: and like old comedy movies aren't really funny anymore, except
Speaker 1: for like the Marx Brothers, because they went town to
Speaker 1: town and just like honed these jokes that were like funny,
Speaker 1: irrelevant of what town they were doing it in. Um.
Speaker 1: I I just wonder if, like now, it seems like
Speaker 1: things have, like we still think Anchorman is funny. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you guys are younger than me, but like
Speaker 1: it seems like people fewer I think. I do think
Speaker 1: that fewer comedies hold up over long term than dramas
Speaker 1: that do. And I think even fewer dramas hold up
Speaker 1: than like an action like die Hard is so old
Speaker 1: at this point by movie standards and feels like a
Speaker 1: movie that could have come out a year ago, but
Speaker 1: comedies from that year. There's like a Naked Gun sequel,
Speaker 1: which has probably kind of funny, but doesn't. I just
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't hold up as much as these
Speaker 1: other things. So it seems to be like this, the
Speaker 1: couple of comedies for most years that hold up, whether
Speaker 1: it's like Groundhog Day or Airplane or movies like that
Speaker 1: that they'll hold up for a while, but I kind
Speaker 1: of think blockbusters tend to hold up the best. We
Speaker 1: still watch Jurassic Park, you know, everything that is an
Speaker 1: avatar will still go back and watch Jaws. I think
Speaker 1: is often cited as one of the movies that holds
Speaker 1: up the best, and that's a whole Another gripe that
Speaker 1: I have is, uh, you know who, we don't acknowledge
Speaker 1: that these movies that influence ulture more than anything else
Speaker 1: should get any sort of nomination for this stuff, let
Speaker 1: alone stunt people in movies, let alone acknowledging that computers
Speaker 1: helped make movies. Now, Academy Awards could be so much
Speaker 1: more fun. Yeah, it feels like the Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: of of of Awards comind where like the MTV Movie
Speaker 1: Awards got it right where they would get super specifically
Speaker 1: like wow, this fucking fight scene and then it actually
Speaker 1: gave you something like really, you're like actually comparing like
Speaker 1: from Blade two. I'm like, okay, let's like watch this
Speaker 1: fight scene and trying to even I remember watching the
Speaker 1: ship and like talking to my friends like you really
Speaker 1: thought that was better from Matrix? Okay? What okay, Like
Speaker 1: just make some more awards. I don't know what John
Speaker 1: Wick getting nominated for nothing. We all talked about it
Speaker 1: for four years, right, yeah, exactly, Yeah, But I guess
Speaker 1: that's where it's like, what, Yeah, I wonder if if
Speaker 1: the Academy can take itself a little less seriously and
Speaker 1: understand that, like film itself is something much larger than
Speaker 1: like the people who call themselves the Academy can take
Speaker 1: themselves less seriously. It's you're talking about a bunch of
Speaker 1: people who work in something they call the industry, and
Speaker 1: I say they I'm part of that the industry. Maybe
Speaker 1: doctors should be the industry that poison our brains, like
Speaker 1: you think, because like also too, you look at a
Speaker 1: movie like Crash, that one best picture in two thousand six,
Speaker 1: that motherfucker doesn't hold up at of course. I mean
Speaker 1: for people who had half a brain in two thousand six,
Speaker 1: you're like, are y'all seeing this? And then that you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: so white people are in charge of everything, and like
Speaker 1: it was hitting a little ally cord. So people like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're so good, it's so good, so good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they would never make that mistake again two years ago
Speaker 1: with Green Book. I mean, how I would be so
Speaker 1: much more Like they keep talking about like people aren't
Speaker 1: as interested in the oscars anymore. Like if they just
Speaker 1: did an award that was the best uh special effect
Speaker 1: in movie, in any movie, and you just got to
Speaker 1: see like how they did it, I would love that.
Speaker 1: That would be so fun, like because they do that
Speaker 1: with like they have the like behind the scenes costuming
Speaker 1: and like all these things they do to honor those arts.
Speaker 1: But like I don't know that would be behind the
Speaker 1: scene because you know what I feel. I feel like
Speaker 1: we lost like we sort of lost the magic of
Speaker 1: filmmaking too, because we don't see as much behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff. I remember, like on HBO, part of the
Speaker 1: whole marketing thing would be a fifteen minute behind inside
Speaker 1: look at the making of a film that was coming
Speaker 1: out and you get to see like them between takes,
Speaker 1: the technology being used in that. For me as a child,
Speaker 1: like anything that was behind the scenes anything always had
Speaker 1: my imagination going even further because I'm like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: like this is how you do it. These are jobs
Speaker 1: you could have this, that and the other. And I
Speaker 1: think because like with that content being less there, it's
Speaker 1: like we're just focusing like the actors more and really think,
Speaker 1: like the one thing you do is be pretty in
Speaker 1: front of camera and talk like the other. You always
Speaker 1: hear stories about how those behind the scenes are what
Speaker 1: prompted so and so to become a filmmaker or so
Speaker 1: and so to get every time you ever see any
Speaker 1: visual effects person there, Like, I saw a ten minute
Speaker 1: behind the scenes about how a head exploded an evil
Speaker 1: dead and I wanted to do this and now I'm
Speaker 1: and I'm that's beautiful. The credits are so long, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the credits are so long. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we will be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
Speaker 1: by the brilliant, the talented Tests Lynch. Hello, you're back.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Also, your son is so cute.
Speaker 1: High Ray gonna say hi to Test and Joel Hi
Speaker 1: Captain Joel. Yeah every time. Uh, Test, How have you
Speaker 1: been What have you been up to? Oh my god, nothing,
Speaker 1: I've been up to nothing. Um. Just like everybody else,
Speaker 1: I my main like story arc over the past ten
Speaker 1: months or whatever. We UM. I had a podcast with
Speaker 1: my friends Molly and Emily, and since we ended that podcast,
Speaker 1: I have just been doing nothing. I know. Boo yes
Speaker 1: boother we ended it the podcast was yea uh, but
Speaker 1: I've been mostly sitting in my backyard with my kids
Speaker 1: while my neighbors um have been playing the Billy Jewel
Speaker 1: album The Stranger, and it's it's taken up my entire
Speaker 1: brain for that. However, Lost for a while has Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's started in March, and it's at least once a week,
Speaker 1: and they play The Stranger in its entirety, usually on
Speaker 1: Friday nights, but they'll mix it up now. I mean,
Speaker 1: over the past three weeks they've played it maybe three
Speaker 1: times a week and sometimes at random times of day.
Speaker 1: And it's never you're never the whole album though, Jack
Speaker 1: the whole album It's leaving Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
Speaker 1: is the best song on that album. Yeah, I'm never
Speaker 1: not in the mood for that one. But I mean
Speaker 1: then they're you know, there's a lot at the end,
Speaker 1: the final song, which I like, forget the title. It's
Speaker 1: also it's it's not super loud, so it's just enough
Speaker 1: that it like makes you feel a certain way. But
Speaker 1: sometimes you can't even like identify it. Sometimes they'll play
Speaker 1: it super quietly and you're just like, why do I
Speaker 1: feel like there's like a weird New York City jazz
Speaker 1: kind of vibe in the air, and they, ah, it's
Speaker 1: the stranger Yeah, moving Out, Yeah, they incible Anthony song,
Speaker 1: but you know what, it doesn't hold up as well
Speaker 1: after like thirty plays moving Out. Moving Out was one
Speaker 1: of my top ten Billy Joel songs, and now too,
Speaker 1: I'm like digging into the you know Later catalog just
Speaker 1: to balance it out. So I'm doing like I go
Speaker 1: to extremes, keeping the faith? Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever
Speaker 1: find yourself just accidentally going into like like, hey, could
Speaker 1: you turn that back to Anthony's song? Sorry, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: Anthony now Joel. What are you gonna say? Just that
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry they're ruining like some of my favorite
Speaker 1: Billy Jwel songs are on this album, like Vienna. It's great,
Speaker 1: like Jams, And I feel like it's unfair that they
Speaker 1: are ruining it for you, But I'm glad that you
Speaker 1: have found a way to bring a balance to your
Speaker 1: Billy Jewel dysmography. Also, do you think after a year
Speaker 1: they're gonna get tired of it? Is there any like
Speaker 1: slowing down of the progression of their listening? No, it's
Speaker 1: picking up it's picking up and they'll add other things
Speaker 1: like it's book ended. It's often like they book ended
Speaker 1: um Elton John might be a lead in E l
Speaker 1: O might follow, but there's variation there, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a strange anger remains the same UM. But I do
Speaker 1: have to say I like Vienna also, and it's you know,
Speaker 1: I mostly associated with thirteen going on thirty where it's
Speaker 1: employed to great effect. But it inspired an episode of Taxi.
Speaker 1: I did not know this, yeah, and it's in the Wikipedia,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, now I should like go
Speaker 1: back and watch that episode of Taxi. But then I
Speaker 1: was like, no, I've had enough. I don't need to
Speaker 1: do this to myself. Degrees by j Yeah, totally take
Speaker 1: over someone's life with by just playing a Billy Joel
Speaker 1: album over over. It is a method of control, absolutely
Speaker 1: psychologically at war with your neighbors. See gang helpful hints
Speaker 1: here for you just start playing that album. It's torture,
Speaker 1: it is. But have you ever thought about how like
Speaker 1: sometimes you look in the mirror and the person looking
Speaker 1: back is a stranger to you. The stranger is yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we're all like we all and this is gonna
Speaker 1: blow your mind. But it's all it's almost like we
Speaker 1: all wear masks sometimes. Oh man, but that does seem
Speaker 1: pathological At this point, I don't think they're going to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, okay, we've had enough. It seems like
Speaker 1: it's no. Now it's a whole. Now it's a lifestyle.
Speaker 1: It went from like a fun thing to like, now
Speaker 1: it's a joke, and now it's like we were jumping
Speaker 1: the shark and now it's just an earnest commitment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no turning back. We'll speaking to of white supremacy.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the uh, you know, long term trend
Speaker 1: but recently even more troubling trend of anti Asian racism
Speaker 1: in America. Um. Yeah, there's you know, I hate crime
Speaker 1: that happened recently in the Bay Area. Uh, and it's
Speaker 1: part of a broader trend to uh, Asian American actors
Speaker 1: got involved with, um, you know, offering a reward to
Speaker 1: solve the case and like, so it's finally getting some attention.
Speaker 1: But this has been a long term issue. It's it's
Speaker 1: just anti anti Asian racism is really it's wild of
Speaker 1: being black and Japanese American. Like I've it's weird to
Speaker 1: kind of reconcile what it means to even be American,
Speaker 1: like looking through the lens lenses of the collective experiences
Speaker 1: of like Asian Americans and African Americans. Um, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: like we had been saying at the beginning of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: when motherfucker's are out here calling ship wuhan flew or
Speaker 1: China virus, that racist rhetoric was just helping to laser
Speaker 1: focus all that hatred into what we're now seeings like
Speaker 1: just record year of hate crimes against Asian Americans. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing new, but it occupies a very
Speaker 1: unique blind spot in American society and media, just because
Speaker 1: especially through like the evolution of like the the model minority,
Speaker 1: the Asian model minority that was was emerging in like
Speaker 1: the middle of the last century. But like you know,
Speaker 1: well we kind of have to start at the gold
Speaker 1: Rush because you kind of gotta see, you're not gonna understand,
Speaker 1: like you can't understand anti black racism. We're not talking
Speaker 1: about slavery, right, So you can't talk you can't understand
Speaker 1: anti Asian racism without understanding the beginnings of immigration from
Speaker 1: from Asia into into America. So in the beginning the
Speaker 1: gold Rush. Okay, that's when it all kicked off. Everybody
Speaker 1: was trying to get to California in the forties and
Speaker 1: fifties to fucking strike gold. That was one of the
Speaker 1: first significant influxes of Asian immigrants and Chinese people specifically,
Speaker 1: they were about one fourth of the miners during the
Speaker 1: gold Rush. But obviously because you have a white majority
Speaker 1: or dominant class, they looked at these perceived intruders and
Speaker 1: started engaging in violent, terroristic acts of racism to base
Speaker 1: to oust them from the mining, and that relegated a
Speaker 1: lot of these Chinese immigrants to lower wage jobs, which
Speaker 1: is the l road and farming and things like that.
Speaker 1: And then then slowly they began codifying these into like
Speaker 1: Chinese Exclusion Act and saying, you know what you can
Speaker 1: if you want to kick a motherfucker out because they're Chinese,
Speaker 1: go to do you, honey, because this is a law now.
Speaker 1: And that sort of momentum evolved. So once there was
Speaker 1: a smaller population of uh Chinese workers to work farms
Speaker 1: and things like that, the Japanese came in and that
Speaker 1: was the next and then that's the next group who Okay,
Speaker 1: they're gonna work the farms, Like damn. They did a
Speaker 1: lot with all that little bit, and now they're starting
Speaker 1: to succeed a little bit. Okay, well, now we need
Speaker 1: new laws to kind of make ship hot for them.
Speaker 1: And then Filipino Americans came in, and they liked that
Speaker 1: better because Filipinos were part of a country that was
Speaker 1: annexed by the United States and felt like there was
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a parallel crossover to work
Speaker 1: in the United States from the Philippines. So all this
Speaker 1: like moment, it's it's been happening since, you know, the
Speaker 1: beginnings of of Asian immigration, and that essentially leads to
Speaker 1: fucking what we saw during World War Two. Japanese people,
Speaker 1: Japanese Americans literal early put in concentration camps for years
Speaker 1: because of Pearl Harbor. Yet Italian and German Americans you know,
Speaker 1: do your thing, you know what I mean, because because
Speaker 1: you're white, um, and that's just how that's just how
Speaker 1: it goes out here. So it's just like this, you know,
Speaker 1: looking through all of this, you're like, it's always a
Speaker 1: thing that has existed, but we don't teach it, so
Speaker 1: we don't really think of it as a huge part
Speaker 1: of our American cultural history. But it's also like this
Speaker 1: evolution of like the model minority in the sixties because
Speaker 1: a lot of people were pointing at Asian Americans who
Speaker 1: are succeeding as a way to sort of funk up
Speaker 1: the dialogue or conversation around the pursuit of civil rights
Speaker 1: for black people, because they're like, well, these Japanese people
Speaker 1: are like they have their own businesses and are going
Speaker 1: to colleges and they're doing so well, like minorities are
Speaker 1: able to succeed in this country. Like as this count
Speaker 1: fucked up counterpoint, and I think that has also led
Speaker 1: to this very weird, you know, monolithic perception of what
Speaker 1: an Asian American person is, which is typically like, oh,
Speaker 1: there are people who can make money, who are maybe
Speaker 1: uh achieving hot higher levels demographically academically or higher incomes.
Speaker 1: So it also like what that also does, is it
Speaker 1: it sort of erases the nuance of what the Asian
Speaker 1: American community looks like. It's like Nepalese Americans face all
Speaker 1: kinds of high levels of of poverty and unemployment, same
Speaker 1: with Hmong people. Like it's it's not just Chinese, Japanese
Speaker 1: and Indian Americans, which I think everyone's just like see
Speaker 1: Asians are good, They're good. You see them, their doctors
Speaker 1: they got and so it when we have all these
Speaker 1: acts of racism, it's it's not quite registering for people,
Speaker 1: like it's like, oh, oh, that's awful, but it's not
Speaker 1: sort of I don't think seen as the same uh
Speaker 1: level of violence or the sheer terror it causes for
Speaker 1: a community because of these other examples, it's not part
Speaker 1: of the narrative of what the experiences for an Asian
Speaker 1: American person. So I mean when you look at like
Speaker 1: what's happening, especially with in the Bay Area, Um, you
Speaker 1: know in San Francisco, eighty four year old man from Thailand,
Speaker 1: he died after being attacked on his morning walk. There
Speaker 1: was an Oakland a few people in Chinatown and Oakland
Speaker 1: there we're getting shoved, attacked, robbed. You know that people
Speaker 1: were taking cash out for Lunar New Year. So people
Speaker 1: were like they're gonna get got Like that's just the
Speaker 1: thing people were thinking. Because people have are walking around
Speaker 1: with more cash. Um, and all of this is still
Speaker 1: happening even when you look at what's happening like in
Speaker 1: our schools, because there is this report that came out,
Speaker 1: um that like Asian American Pacific Islander students in California
Speaker 1: were the group that were most likely to experience bullying.
Speaker 1: And on top of it, uh, like a majority of
Speaker 1: students when they were talking about what kind of racist
Speaker 1: rhetoric is normalized, it seemed to be that a surprising
Speaker 1: amount of students are like, it seems like Asian jokes
Speaker 1: are like, are not as offensive even though it's the
Speaker 1: same territory of it as a racial joke. Um, so
Speaker 1: we're having to have this real reckoning with what it
Speaker 1: what this what the conversation has been between America and
Speaker 1: Asian Americans because no one is actually I think because
Speaker 1: for me, I wasn't taught about any of this ship
Speaker 1: in school and I grew up in California. It took
Speaker 1: my parents to be like, do you what what you
Speaker 1: said in the gold Rush? What they're saying about Asian people?
Speaker 1: Huh what that they like to do laundry? Yeah, okay, No,
Speaker 1: But I'm saying like, because we don't have these uh,
Speaker 1: real conversations about our history, our history as a nation.
Speaker 1: For the mistreatment of any group, be it Indigenous people,
Speaker 1: Latin x whoever, like we're only we're only doomed to
Speaker 1: keep repeating these sort of things. And I feel like
Speaker 1: it's really happening again right now because this isn't This
Speaker 1: isn't it's not a conversation that's had enough about like
Speaker 1: observing anti Asian racism and what that means and what
Speaker 1: everyone's part is in trying to come back that. Um
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's there. Just seems to be better. I
Speaker 1: think education too across minority groups, right, like because if
Speaker 1: you want to take a look back and you you're
Speaker 1: talking about the Japanese tournament camps, right I think it's
Speaker 1: something I didn't even know until I was in college
Speaker 1: and actually kind of like really diving deeper and studying
Speaker 1: different things. And one of the things that I studied
Speaker 1: in college, I have a degree in Latin American history,
Speaker 1: and one of the things that I had no idea
Speaker 1: about until I literally took Latin American history was something
Speaker 1: called the Brossero program. The Brossero program happened around the
Speaker 1: nineteen forty ninety five, which is coincidentally the exact same
Speaker 1: time that we are in turning Japanese Americans, who at
Speaker 1: that time were the primary source of agricultural labor. So
Speaker 1: the United States government had to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to pick all these crops because they had put people
Speaker 1: in internment camps they were picking these crops. So what
Speaker 1: they did is they made a deal with Mexico to
Speaker 1: allow workers to come north to work for seasonal portions
Speaker 1: of time, so sort of temporary ability to come in
Speaker 1: and primarily up and down the state of California specifically.
Speaker 1: So you also started seeing animosity between groups because you
Speaker 1: were seeing Mexican people coming in taking work from Asian jobs.
Speaker 1: You have to kind of look at how all these
Speaker 1: pieces sort of pattern and network together, you know, And
Speaker 1: and it's important because the country, you know, our governments
Speaker 1: have done the same thing to all of these groups.
Speaker 1: Like you said, what we've seen with Native American people,
Speaker 1: what we've seen with Asian people, what we've seen with Latinos,
Speaker 1: what we've seen with black people, Like it's the same playbook,
Speaker 1: but it's done in a way that sort of silos
Speaker 1: and makes these communities more wary of other communities and
Speaker 1: other minorities and white people in general. And until we
Speaker 1: start putting this together and really speaking openly and really
Speaker 1: start leveraging and understanding that we need to speak up
Speaker 1: as within our own racial groups and also as racial
Speaker 1: groups as a whole against the government. Like we're never
Speaker 1: going to get anywhere. There has to be acknowledgement of
Speaker 1: the stuff. There needs to be education. And that's one example.
Speaker 1: There's been so many examples of that that basically our
Speaker 1: institutionalized racism. And it's wild because even within communities, right
Speaker 1: because even with my black cousins, I was Jackie Chance
Speaker 1: and you know, I was Jetly or whatever, and but
Speaker 1: then I don't I'm I don't let my cup what
Speaker 1: from my fani? What? Then am I gonna say, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's it's love or whatever. But then you get older,
Speaker 1: you gotta actually really like we actually have. It's so
Speaker 1: casually said, there's never a checking of it's like, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna reduce me to this one version of a
Speaker 1: celebrity or whatever. You you're touchstone for Asian culture. Like
Speaker 1: it's the same ship. Like if someone comes to human
Speaker 1: some white guy called this, oh hey, what's up Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant or some fucking dumb shit about whatever black celebrity,
Speaker 1: it's the same ship, and I think, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's just like over the summer where you know, I
Speaker 1: found myself imploring people to check anti black racist talk
Speaker 1: or any kind of fucking discriminatory language, that it has
Speaker 1: to start within where you were at, because you don't
Speaker 1: want people to think you're somebody who you can say
Speaker 1: ship like that, or you can you can perpetuate these
Speaker 1: kind of um discriminatory respect races, fucking racism called racism,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Um so, and now it's
Speaker 1: the same thing, but I think it's now it's like
Speaker 1: do we have to keep pointing out it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so the summers for black anti black racism, for Asian
Speaker 1: awareness around anti Asian racism when it's like racism, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's not again and it's not it's not always
Speaker 1: necessarily about white supremacy, but it can because it can
Speaker 1: happen within groups that aren't white. But in terms of
Speaker 1: understanding like what we're seeing, like we also have to know,
Speaker 1: like this country was also letting Americans know like we
Speaker 1: don't really get a funk about Asian people, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And that's the thing that taste is
Speaker 1: historically still in the you know, sort of the back
Speaker 1: of everyone's mouths, whether they know it or not. And
Speaker 1: you know, and in that Bay Area, you know, where
Speaker 1: the first you know, significant group of Asian immigrants are
Speaker 1: coming to We're still seeing this play out centuries later,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's important is and even in
Speaker 1: the United States, we're still replaying the same things because
Speaker 1: we're not actually taking the second to be like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe we did that as a country, and we
Speaker 1: really should have never done that. Acknowledgment. Yeah, don't try
Speaker 1: to explain it, don't try to contextualize it, just acknowledgement
Speaker 1: and reflection. Yes, this occurred, and no, that is not good.
Speaker 1: It is how can we make sure this never happens again? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it took like the eighties for a congressional fucking committee
Speaker 1: to be like, I think the Japanese internment program was
Speaker 1: based on racial prejudice, Like God, but that's that's the
Speaker 1: pace at which we have these mini reckonings that you know,
Speaker 1: at the end don't seem to have the effects that
Speaker 1: we need them to the I mean, it does go
Speaker 1: back to white supremacy because like even you know, if no,
Speaker 1: no matter what group you are that's being discriminated against,
Speaker 1: like it's impossible not to let that poison like seep
Speaker 1: in let that lie. Yeah, I mean I meant that,
Speaker 1: not that it's like obviously internalized white supremacy, but not
Speaker 1: to say that this is only occurring with white people
Speaker 1: against whoever, you know what I mean. So, yeah, from colonialism, right,
Speaker 1: exact concept of coming here and that now that there
Speaker 1: was a white person from a European country, that oh,
Speaker 1: now we have brought civility, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and and shooting any native cultures that are there to
Speaker 1: begin with, right, and it just gets replaced. It just
Speaker 1: gets replaced. It just gets replaced. The way is the
Speaker 1: Germans were treated like the the go to villain of
Speaker 1: history because they are, you know, the they symbolize evil, right,
Speaker 1: like the German Nazis. The way German Nazis were treated
Speaker 1: in pow camps. There's a pow camp in Alabama where
Speaker 1: they were treated like a part of the community, welcomed
Speaker 1: into the community. Uh naz POWs, you know, after the fact,
Speaker 1: like actual like people who had roles within the Nazi
Speaker 1: government and the Nazi war effort were welcomed into the
Speaker 1: US government like that. It's they make sure that you
Speaker 1: can't miss the message. You know, it's it's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were on some funk shoot a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: but they're going to help us make big bang bangs now,
Speaker 1: so you know all is all is forgiven. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's I I didn't really even realize, you know,
Speaker 1: like that even California, right that groups of kids who
Speaker 1: are most likely to experienced that were Asian American, Like,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, And I think that's really indicative of the
Speaker 1: work that still has to be done, because that's what
Speaker 1: you're seeing. If if that's happening in schools now, this
Speaker 1: ship is not going away for at least fifty years,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's you and if so,
Speaker 1: we have to act. Actually, we have to do all
Speaker 1: this work now to ensure a better future for ever.
Speaker 1: You know, we might see it, we might see a
Speaker 1: glimpse of it, but at least we got to do
Speaker 1: something to let leave something good for the next generations
Speaker 1: to come along and not have to deal with this ship.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we will
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. What is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Honestly,
Speaker 1: let's take a look I don't even know. I can't
Speaker 1: even tell you. Oh gosh, what you know what? The
Speaker 1: last thing that I searched was disposal and recycling because
Speaker 1: I live in an unincorporated county. So I need to
Speaker 1: figure out how the hell you get rid of trash
Speaker 1: when the city doesn't come and get it. Because I've
Speaker 1: never done that before. I'm a city girl. I'm used
Speaker 1: to like they there's a trash can and they come
Speaker 1: and right out here. They're like, yeah, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to figure that out. So I gotta I need a
Speaker 1: line on the trash hustle out here. Man. I was
Speaker 1: looking at various places. I need someone to come and
Speaker 1: get my get my trash. What what are the rates
Speaker 1: like when you got a high you gotta come. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to find out. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, I don't know. In l A, it
Speaker 1: was like seventy bucks a month for trash. So I
Speaker 1: figured truck, Yeah, you ran a truck once a month
Speaker 1: and take to take the trash in. Yo. You know what, Jack,
Speaker 1: you might be on some ship. I need to slip
Speaker 1: this around. Why am I paying someone to pick up
Speaker 1: my trash when I could buy a truck and get
Speaker 1: your hustle and then I get free trash and you
Speaker 1: learn all kinds of weird ship about them because you
Speaker 1: go through the trash. Thank you drive that sick ass truck?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Me? Me on yellow all day? That's
Speaker 1: my new favorite color. Going through the trash thing is
Speaker 1: like a cliche and spy movies and ship and like
Speaker 1: eighties movies had people going through other people's trash like
Speaker 1: when they were trying to find stuff out about them,
Speaker 1: but that is like real deal, like they actually that's
Speaker 1: like the way to find out ship must Yeah, does
Speaker 1: that mean that all of the homeless people who go
Speaker 1: through trash in Los Angeles are secretly CIA agents? Say?
Speaker 1: You said ever know? You never know? I was watching
Speaker 1: that Um the Devil Next Store about a dude who
Speaker 1: has suspected in Cleveland and like the late seventies early eighties,
Speaker 1: is suspected of being Ivan the Terrible, like the one
Speaker 1: of the prison camp cars. Yeah, and like his defense
Speaker 1: just like starts getting all these documents from one of
Speaker 1: the committees that's investigating him. And it was just somebody
Speaker 1: going through their trash like outside of a New York
Speaker 1: building and they were like Yeah, we taped this together.
Speaker 1: We have all these documents and that holds up in court.
Speaker 1: Apparently you threw it out right. So it's just street,
Speaker 1: it's trash. It's trash. Where you're telling me as I
Speaker 1: should burn all of my trash, Well, that's what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say. That trash fires. Uh. That's when I
Speaker 1: lived when I was very young. Uh, in West Virginian
Speaker 1: Unincorporated area. That was how people got got rid of
Speaker 1: their trash. Trash fires. Yeah, like you know other spots
Speaker 1: in the world. You know, it's still like, you know,
Speaker 1: I am the I am the trash people. I burned
Speaker 1: my ship right here in my backyard. Yeah, I gotta
Speaker 1: look at the burning trash. Yeah. So trash that gang
Speaker 1: to holler Lydia you got you're either plug for or
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you got a truck connect so she
Speaker 1: could start her business there you go. I have a
Speaker 1: little hype on the idea of driving around a garbage truck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just the wildest vibe though if I'm not saying
Speaker 1: you are, but you were low key going through their
Speaker 1: trash and creating like blackmail dossiers on them and be like, no, man,
Speaker 1: you don't get it. This trash thing paid for itself
Speaker 1: in the first month when I started getting money payments
Speaker 1: from Now I'm gonna need the east half of your land.
Speaker 1: These cracker barrel receipts and these Zaxby's receipts. And what
Speaker 1: this tells me is he has another bitch. When you
Speaker 1: start going to Crystal yeah, because there isn't one in
Speaker 1: this county. So if you go on huh. I think
Speaker 1: I should do my own version of Snapped, but like
Speaker 1: garbage trash based only and just try to find people
Speaker 1: just cheating on each other. That would be a funked
Speaker 1: up podcast where it's like someone goes through the trash
Speaker 1: of a random building and then talks to a person
Speaker 1: based on what they know from going through their trash
Speaker 1: and just freaks him out. Probably better YouTube prank video,
Speaker 1: but somebody's a good podcast or awful one, or just
Speaker 1: a career as a clairvoyant you know, Oh yes, the
Speaker 1: scam psychics. Oh that Lydia, that's the wave you go
Speaker 1: through the am and then you know the little details
Speaker 1: and like, do you want a reading that's got a
Speaker 1: feeling from you? Please sit in my vibe corner. People
Speaker 1: people in the South are love to believe. They they're
Speaker 1: like Molder and Scully. They just want to believe. So
Speaker 1: you get just give him an excuse to believe. The
Speaker 1: truth is out there though. Yeah, man, it's somewhere somewhere.
Speaker 1: It's out here. It's out here, somewhere. I'm gonna find it,
Speaker 1: all right. Well, we're throwed to be joined in our
Speaker 1: third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zitemore.

Speaker 1: we'll talk later. I need is that gang. Let me know.
Speaker 1: I need a I need a mountain bike. But I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to spend a lot of money. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a mountain boy. I don't know. I'm Oh, you have
Speaker 1: like Roady your road man. It's just it's all about
Speaker 1: I'm not like going down the mountain. I have a
Speaker 1: mountain bike that I bought out a yard sale and
Speaker 1: I've been told it's really good. Um, But like it
Speaker 1: isn't that always funny when you have a thing you're
Speaker 1: not sure if it's good, and then someone else is like,
