Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, sixty eight,
Speaker 1: Episode two. Up There, Daily Guys, the production of My
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
Speaker 1: deep dive into America's share consciousness. It's Wednesday, January twenty one,
Speaker 1: zero days until January, which we count down because it
Speaker 1: is Miles Mom's birthday. Uh. It is also that day
Speaker 1: on which we say we made it, that motherfucker is gone.
Speaker 1: My name is Jack O'Brien a k na na na
Speaker 1: na nana na na. Hey hey, hey, oh Brian, I'm through.
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined as always. I know I
Speaker 1: got you at the end there. Uh shamalan nesk. I'm
Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
Speaker 1: Mr Miles ground bump bump. But uncle, it's gonna do
Speaker 1: a lot to drag them away from you. So many
Speaker 1: magalosers trying to pull the backwards hats were fun. They'll
Speaker 1: blame the broadest on it if I'm gonna take some
Speaker 1: time and refuse all the basic fare. So, man, it's
Speaker 1: hard to get those harmonies in or out because I
Speaker 1: only had one voice. But shout out to bad tweet
Speaker 1: Girl on the discord for that man. I love it,
Speaker 1: love a total reference of course. Just yeah, just oh man,
Speaker 1: you know, shout out, shout out Steve Lucathur, shout out
Speaker 1: Tina Lucathur. Well, I went to high school with Alright, Tina,
Speaker 1: we see you put all the times, all the ak
Speaker 1: s you can, like. I bet you could do a
Speaker 1: whole karaoke rollodex. Yeah, there's a there's a cattle on Twitter,
Speaker 1: uh tdz a k a karaokes and my man's just
Speaker 1: belts him out like without an actual singing voice. So
Speaker 1: maybe I like it. Maybe I feel small and I've
Speaker 1: maybe I paid a lot of money for singing classes,
Speaker 1: but I prefer lip sync battle where they leave my
Speaker 1: vocals in because they really can't be replaced. For the
Speaker 1: shittiest TikTok trend is people doing lip dubs of this show. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
Speaker 1: by the hilarious, the brilliant, the talented Teresa. That was okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think he made us feel crazy. He was
Speaker 1: raisedst and lazy, if I put it quite plainly, these
Speaker 1: last four years playing me, now is time to make
Speaker 1: it right. Join me as we say goodbye. He's been twinning,
Speaker 1: confessed his doctor said he's healthy, always lying through his teeth.
Speaker 1: We all remember store me couldn't. I'll tell lies. He
Speaker 1: tried to make things white eighty five. I cut it
Speaker 1: short because I realized it was too long. Treaty Tuna
Speaker 1: thirty five by Ariana Grande. Of course, Oh, of course,
Speaker 1: that's why I was at the point one percent top
Speaker 1: Spotify listener of Ariana last year, upgraded from yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: they have shipped that to tell you you are amongst
Speaker 1: the like blank percent and I thought one percent was
Speaker 1: for this second go but that just shows don't don't
Speaker 1: stop following your dreams because you never know when you
Speaker 1: can beat your own record. And that I did, right,
Speaker 1: and keep going. Wait, they have stats on being like
Speaker 1: how much you are, like how you rank compared to
Speaker 1: other people listening to Ariana Grande. Yeah, so if you
Speaker 1: didn't get a message, sorry Jack, you weren't part of it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I know you probably like to think your
Speaker 1: point one person, but you're not. Yeah, but it's like
Speaker 1: that extra thing that they give blue checks on Twitter,
Speaker 1: where you can have an extra tool. It's like the
Speaker 1: blue check of being an Ariana Grande. Stand are you
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing for it, except for maybe some embarrassment depending
Speaker 1: on how you look at it or Brian, you know,
Speaker 1: like me, yeah, Jack, where would you want to like
Speaker 1: be in the top one percent of listeners? Me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like is there an artist that you feel like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel bad? Like? Is that a point of pride
Speaker 1: for you? Theresa? Because you big Ariana fan, You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, that's where I need to be. I guess
Speaker 1: it's always, like you know, it's not like it's something
Speaker 1: I was going for. I don't want to say it's
Speaker 1: a natural talent, but I do think it's always I
Speaker 1: do get validated when I am how I think I am. Like,
Speaker 1: I like that I am being my true self. And
Speaker 1: I do say that I like Ariana Grande, but you know,
Speaker 1: I really wasn't tracking how much I listened to her,
Speaker 1: and right, I really do like her. So and I'm
Speaker 1: glad you said I am whoever you think I am,
Speaker 1: because that brings up who I would want to be
Speaker 1: number one? Uh, just the greatest rapper of all time.
Speaker 1: I sit back with these back with podcasts in this
Speaker 1: bag and whoa okay, spaghetti, that's a great impression. I
Speaker 1: like most spaghetti, fats dominoes too. How about oh my god,
Speaker 1: he should be like this week heavy mom spaghetti. He's
Speaker 1: nervous but on the surface, okay, anyway, that's like your
Speaker 1: stat versus off. For me, I don't know. This year,
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of like, uh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's probably usually it's like it's J Dilla and I
Speaker 1: think maybe Claro. I listen a lot of Claro. I
Speaker 1: got into Claro, and um, probably yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 1: That was like a new thing for me that popped up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and for me personally, who I would feel
Speaker 1: like I had the badge of honor to say I
Speaker 1: was in the top percent of listener would probably be
Speaker 1: like J Dilla because I listened to so much and
Speaker 1: I'm such a like, uh, you know, disciple of it
Speaker 1: as a you know, want to be beat Maker's nice
Speaker 1: when you have stuff that's actually like good and you
Speaker 1: have taste. But I feel like I'll have like music
Speaker 1: I like, and then I'll have music that I play
Speaker 1: NonStop and oh yeah, to the point where, like my
Speaker 1: Spotify wrap up said, my number two artists was the weekend.
Speaker 1: I like people with like big libraries and it still
Speaker 1: didn't get to the point like the Weekend and Arianna
Speaker 1: have us on together, and that still didn't make my
Speaker 1: top five, Like it was only a top five, Like
Speaker 1: the top two was race Car by Deaton, Chris Anthony
Speaker 1: featured Claro. Where's the rap song where Claro is wrapping?
Speaker 1: I'm like I had that ship on loop for like
Speaker 1: the first part of the year. Uh. Then being in
Speaker 1: the top one or point one percent of Ariana Grande
Speaker 1: fans is like, that's a lot of competition. You have
Speaker 1: a lot of like teenage girls who are out there
Speaker 1: who are like voting. They're like, all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave this on just so I can get her listens
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Are you? Are you doing that
Speaker 1: at all? Uh? No, exactly, say I listened to every
Speaker 1: every every time I am listening actively. Yeah, yes, Stop
Speaker 1: trying to get Michael Jordan to explain his game and
Speaker 1: work ethics. It happens out here for the goats. I
Speaker 1: will say, knowing her from Afar, I don't think she
Speaker 1: would like to know that about me, Like I think
Speaker 1: that stuff creeps are out is what I've seen from
Speaker 1: her interacting with super fans. So I would never tell
Speaker 1: her that, Oh you're like, who are you fool? Get
Speaker 1: out my way. I don't think you would want to
Speaker 1: hear that. I'm in the point one person. Do you
Speaker 1: have a plan for nagging her if you ever see
Speaker 1: her in person? Are you gonna I? I think that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, you're putting me on the spot.
Speaker 1: This is I'm saying. I'm just saying, think about it,
Speaker 1: because you know, you might find yourself in that position
Speaker 1: one time, and you got to know how to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to manifest the wrong thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: the power manifestation is very strong. I get it. And
Speaker 1: these weak arms are heavy. There's a bomb drawing your
Speaker 1: sweater already. Moms spaghetti. Yeah, I think I would just
Speaker 1: be like, it's quote Eminem to her, something like mom
Speaker 1: smaghetti and she's like, oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 1: We're best friends. Now, all right, Teresa, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better, even though I
Speaker 1: feel like we already know you, uh everything we need
Speaker 1: to know based on the Ariana Grande facts. But now
Speaker 1: so we'll get into that, and we'll get into that,
Speaker 1: but first let's tell our listeners a couple of the
Speaker 1: things we're talking about today, Uh, it is inauguration day.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how the National Guard is admitting
Speaker 1: they might have a couple of white nationalists in their ranks.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about babies. Last day in office yesterday, how
Speaker 1: that went. Uh. We'll talk about Mitch McConnell. He's saying
Speaker 1: the right things very carefully, which makes me nervous. Uh.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Biden's pick Dr. Rachel Levine to be
Speaker 1: Assistant Health secretary. Uh. And the presidential pardon derby has
Speaker 1: uh taken over a lot of people are paying attention
Speaker 1: to this. We'll look at the odds because they're taking
Speaker 1: odds on that, and just the history of presidential pardons,
Speaker 1: all of that, plenty more. Tiffany Trump got an engagement
Speaker 1: pick on the White House grounds, so that's uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's proof I told you grandma, I told you Grandma's
Speaker 1: dad was a traitor as president. But first, before we
Speaker 1: get to any of that TREESA, we like to ask
Speaker 1: our guests, what is something from your search history that
Speaker 1: is revealing about who you are? Well, last night I
Speaker 1: searched what is the emoji symbol for? Like? Can I
Speaker 1: say pussy or vagina? Or whatever. I forget him. I'm
Speaker 1: allowed to say that. Take a quick break and figure this.
Speaker 1: Let's side bar, because I know eggplant is the dick
Speaker 1: emoji and I'm making Valentine's Day merch. Hey, you guys
Speaker 1: can buy them at dot com Comedy, dot com slash shop.
Speaker 1: But I wanted I have a joke that's like thank
Speaker 1: you for the dick, but I'm doing it where you
Speaker 1: can circle different ones so you can circle. I want
Speaker 1: to do like big pussy, like heart brain whatever. But
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know the if there is one,
Speaker 1: and I looked it up and I couldn't figure out
Speaker 1: like a consensus. So I just put a picture of
Speaker 1: a kitty. What do you guys think is there? Is it?
Speaker 1: I've heard taco, but that feels the meaning to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like those weird I mean the kitty. That's
Speaker 1: that's probably the best way to go at it, as
Speaker 1: opposed to taco, which is like, I feel like it
Speaker 1: reminds me of that uh pink tacos, like Taco Place,
Speaker 1: which always has you may have one of the century
Speaker 1: City mallya like back in the day, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I remember something like you'll ruin a pink talk on
Speaker 1: like you are you enjoy miss me with that aggirable
Speaker 1: bullshit places like the Suck. Yeah, I'm trying to think,
Speaker 1: like because I know on the internet, like you know,
Speaker 1: like you know, the Shade Room or like gossip blogs
Speaker 1: whenever they like I feel like the cat face one
Speaker 1: is used a lot and then the other two, but
Speaker 1: then the peach is used for a butt in there.
Speaker 1: I put the button there, I put brain, which you
Speaker 1: can interpret either way. You know, you could interpreted the
Speaker 1: Nicki minajway or as but but I wanted a Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was like. Maybe there's a flower, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's universal, so I just put kitty.
Speaker 1: But the flower that needs to be remedied. I think,
Speaker 1: yeah's just's also different. You know, maybe it's hard to
Speaker 1: categorize them because they're all just unique. Maybe it should
Speaker 1: be like a snowflake or something. Yeah wow, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to Yeah, maybe that's something we need
Speaker 1: to push for. Alex Schmidt and Jamie Loftus need to
Speaker 1: combine their forces of trying to get into emojis being
Speaker 1: made and just be like, what is the thing we
Speaker 1: can all agree upon? For this genital representation. So I'm
Speaker 1: behind that kitty taka? Are there any other options that we? Um?
Speaker 1: There's like so if you look it up, they do
Speaker 1: have like like sets that are like not the Unicode one.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of like actual vagina emojis, which
Speaker 1: is like not what I wanted. Um, but yeah, those
Speaker 1: were the ones I saw. But I guess I guess
Speaker 1: we have less need to be uh sending those emojis.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure to have a little emoji for it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you get into weird territory like is it
Speaker 1: the cherries? Is it? Is it the oyster that oyster
Speaker 1: above the stream or is it like the meat bone
Speaker 1: with the bone through it? There is like the third eye,
Speaker 1: which I kind of like because that like the evil
Speaker 1: eye or whatever, the protecting Okay, I cook a ball
Speaker 1: with that. It's about like keeping out the evil, you know. Sure,
Speaker 1: But I think we need some Georgia O'Keeffe art historians
Speaker 1: on the case to just be like this this will do.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Teresa under rated?
Speaker 1: Or what did I say for this? Oh? Um, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the sentence version telling me if it
Speaker 1: makes sense social media as systems? Does this make sense
Speaker 1: they're doing to explain more? No, that's good, okay, because
Speaker 1: I know we all hate on Twitter and TikTok or
Speaker 1: whatever for the individual like toxicity that we get. But recently,
Speaker 1: as I came on last time a while ago, talk
Speaker 1: about AI and I've believe it or not, journeyed further
Speaker 1: into this depth. But you know how neural networks are
Speaker 1: like systems like you're like the short version is like
Speaker 1: your brain has organic systems like your Olympic system, your
Speaker 1: prefrontal cortex, uh, and then organs or whatever, but they
Speaker 1: all work together to make you. And I think we're
Speaker 1: getting to the point where social media like platforms like Twitter, TikTok, Facebook,
Speaker 1: they're not all just ways for humans individually to interact
Speaker 1: or create communities anymore. The platform itself has become a
Speaker 1: system like people using it actually change the platform as
Speaker 1: an organ like one will eventually function more like the
Speaker 1: heart and the brain, and they're not all gonna sub
Speaker 1: in for each other. We're already getting to that point,
Speaker 1: Like TikTok isn't just one where people who like social
Speaker 1: media get on it. People get on it to do TikTok,
Speaker 1: whereas it used to be you followed the new thing.
Speaker 1: So I think we're getting to that point. And I
Speaker 1: think it's a good thing because I think it will
Speaker 1: take away the individualistic, like negative stuff and make it
Speaker 1: so we all are almost like cells and atoms adding
Speaker 1: our positive. You know, the positivity will win out because
Speaker 1: the flow is going to go towards like human nature
Speaker 1: in hopefully survival way, like the way that your brain
Speaker 1: adapts to survive. I think these platforms are going to
Speaker 1: become interactive systems in the internet. Body, does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Looking very out into the future on my woke thinks
Speaker 1: we're there. Yeah, yeah, Like people are sacrificing their own
Speaker 1: individuality for like whatever is going to make the overall
Speaker 1: system like operate more efficiently, or whatever is going to
Speaker 1: like get more attention in the overall system, like on
Speaker 1: Twitter or whatever it is. But I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a bad thing. It's not that individuals you'll lose anything.
Speaker 1: It's that in the same way that you know you
Speaker 1: jack when your body is healthy, your heart's healthy, everything benefits.
Speaker 1: So by acting in your own best interests, we are
Speaker 1: now connected to the threshold that will keep the body surviving,
Speaker 1: which is like human nature in the internet. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's super interesting. I could see a future where
Speaker 1: people are harnessing that to do good and bad because
Speaker 1: it is like people have you know, been like, when
Speaker 1: are we going to reach the singularity? Win? Is AI
Speaker 1: gonna happen? And like suddenly, you know, artificial intelligence is
Speaker 1: beyond human comprehension. I feel like this is a form
Speaker 1: of the singularity where we are all individual neurons like
Speaker 1: contributing to an overall like sort of hive mind organism.
Speaker 1: I think that's yeah, But don't worry the the the
Speaker 1: AI won't take over in an evil way. Once you
Speaker 1: get there, you'll let go of your ego. I think
Speaker 1: I'm already there, and then you'll realize that, uh, if
Speaker 1: you believe in the common good, it will keep going
Speaker 1: that way. But it is really scary. That scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just because it's hard for me to think in
Speaker 1: these platforms working without people's egos being healthy too, you know,
Speaker 1: because I think it cancels out at a certain point. Well,
Speaker 1: so like for example, Trump never got on TikTok, and
Speaker 1: people have many reasons why I like data, but I
Speaker 1: also think I think he's probably been on it secretly. TikTok,
Speaker 1: the like algorithm shows you you're subconscious, like it knows
Speaker 1: you better, not in a way like that Facebook tells
Speaker 1: you what to buy, in a way that it will
Speaker 1: literally be like, we know you were in an abusive relationship,
Speaker 1: whether you say or not, and then they'll start showing
Speaker 1: you how to heal. And I think if you're a
Speaker 1: narcissist or someone like with Trump tendencies, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff you don't want to see because
Speaker 1: your subconscious is reflecting the parts that you don't want
Speaker 1: to see. And so I don't think people like him
Speaker 1: want to be on TikTok, right, But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: from the like. But then there are people who participate
Speaker 1: on the content creation side, good or bad too that
Speaker 1: I also see, like your ego to absolutely needs to
Speaker 1: be healthy enough to sort of continue in the pattern
Speaker 1: of like putting yourself out there for the views, to
Speaker 1: keep sort of feeding that relationship to the platform. But
Speaker 1: I think it I think it all depends. Like you're saying,
Speaker 1: there are people in it for different reasons. Other people
Speaker 1: might not be as ego centered when they're participating. But
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons why I've even like
Speaker 1: my relationship over time with social media has changes. Like
Speaker 1: there was an element about like reinforcing my ego to
Speaker 1: the posting that was not was like not very healthy
Speaker 1: for me, or like what was was feeding a lot
Speaker 1: of other like subconscious insecurities or whatever, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh God, this is like torturous in a way. But
Speaker 1: I think we're all made differently, you know. Well, I agree.
Speaker 1: I definitely had moments of like, yeah, posting kind of
Speaker 1: like subtweets, but I would also argue that I had
Speaker 1: to go through that phase of my life to now
Speaker 1: come out on the other side. So not to say
Speaker 1: you have to, but if you lead into all your tendencies,
Speaker 1: you end up healing yourself faster. I don't know, as
Speaker 1: sounds really bananas, but I I feel like I do
Speaker 1: feel like that Scott and Smoother are using social media
Speaker 1: in that way. Sure, I mean, I think it's more more, uh,
Speaker 1: it's less bananas than just assuming that all these social
Speaker 1: media platforms are just like there and not affecting us
Speaker 1: in some profound way as a as a society like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a news story over the weekend
Speaker 1: that Trump being banned, like disinformation about the election went down,
Speaker 1: And I reply to that was like, do we will
Speaker 1: we look back on the social media era as like
Speaker 1: the way somebody who is in recovery looks back on
Speaker 1: like a you know what they did while they were
Speaker 1: under the influence. And but I I also feel like
Speaker 1: that might have been specific to having a president who
Speaker 1: was using social media in that way. But there is
Speaker 1: there is that power right there. There is the ability
Speaker 1: for somebody to come in and complete really take over
Speaker 1: if it's not regulated in some way that is has
Speaker 1: an eye towards the overall health of society as opposed
Speaker 1: to the you know what is driving revenue. Well, I
Speaker 1: see it as the same way as like when you
Speaker 1: first get your trust broken, you might be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I better not trust anymore. But then over time, when
Speaker 1: you start leaning into learning lessons, you realize, like, trust
Speaker 1: is one of my good qualities. I just have to
Speaker 1: learn how to discern who to trust. And I think
Speaker 1: Trump taking advantage of a lot of his followers is similar,
Speaker 1: like they do have trauma bonds, but he it's not.
Speaker 1: The idea isn't to never trusts to figure out how
Speaker 1: to like spot the red flags, because the trust part
Speaker 1: will actually make the community stronger if people know how
Speaker 1: to discern. I don't know. Now that sounds really boring.
Speaker 1: I am a comedian, but I haven't done stand and
Speaker 1: that's almost a year. There is a mirror to it,
Speaker 1: but it requires a level of self awareness and openness
Speaker 1: to self examination, I think, to get those lessons out
Speaker 1: of it, because many people don't. Yeah, I worry that
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like I've noticed in pop culture
Speaker 1: there being a trend of the only example that's coming
Speaker 1: to mind is Memento. But like, I think there are
Speaker 1: a lot of movies where it's like people intentionally ignore
Speaker 1: something to like give their life meaning they like. And
Speaker 1: I feel like that is a reflection of something we're
Speaker 1: seeing more and more as technology. Yeah, like intentional cognitive dissonance,
Speaker 1: which I think could get you in trouble on the
Speaker 1: what what you're talking about? But let's talk about something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Okay, I think learning math in
Speaker 1: school is overrated, and I'll tell you why because I
Speaker 1: never like math growing up. I did fine at it,
Speaker 1: but in Quarantine, as you guys might know, I think
Speaker 1: a lot and talk a lot um I and I
Speaker 1: like to write poetry secretly, but I started thinking a
Speaker 1: lot about Tom I'm and like all these sort of
Speaker 1: quantum thoughts that I didn't realize or quantum. And I
Speaker 1: wrote a poem that I meant to write as a
Speaker 1: love poem for my boyfriend, and I posted it as
Speaker 1: a it's kind of a riddle, and I posted it
Speaker 1: as a riddle to see if people could guess it,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people told me I just wrote
Speaker 1: equals MC squared as a poem. And then I started
Speaker 1: getting sent quantum videos and started watching them and realized
Speaker 1: that not that like I in a way I learned
Speaker 1: math on the street, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: I like thinking like the way that the thinkers used
Speaker 1: to think because they just had so much time. And
Speaker 1: what I realized is it's actually school is good because
Speaker 1: it is a shortcut, but it's not the only way
Speaker 1: to learn, because at some point someone discovered it. And
Speaker 1: I think these are like if their truth their truths
Speaker 1: of the universe that are built into our human condition
Speaker 1: to know, and if you're isolated from people long enough
Speaker 1: and you sit there and think you could actually just
Speaker 1: know things like that too, which is wild because I
Speaker 1: started watching quantum videos and going, these are the dreams
Speaker 1: that I've been having, like to a t like I
Speaker 1: was like drawing like pictures that I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think this is the equation for time.
Speaker 1: And then a scientist on TV was like, on my
Speaker 1: YouTube is like, this is how we would define time.
Speaker 1: Like what, I don't have to go to school for
Speaker 1: the field. No, everyone, I think everyone has the ability
Speaker 1: to know this. It's just what we use to express it. Yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm using like poems, which is like super like
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm that's a comedy. I think has
Speaker 1: helped me stay away from this. But now I there's
Speaker 1: no filter, no buffer. I can't wait till you know,
Speaker 1: we're like in some Watchman reality where like Teresa Lee
Speaker 1: has solved the quandary about energy and like and we
Speaker 1: have now the ability to time travel safely without affecting
Speaker 1: space and time. I'm looking forward to that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think like learning that's so interesting. Like I'm learning
Speaker 1: about quantum physics in the streets. It's like step up,
Speaker 1: but like I'm channing datum but like slowly getting this
Speaker 1: informal education on it. Wow, I am like jealous of that.
Speaker 1: I've only thought more deeply about how reality shows are made. Well,
Speaker 1: I almost we'll see that could be something because you're
Speaker 1: looking at human character. But I would almost argue this
Speaker 1: sounds wild, But it made me think, like what if
Speaker 1: we could teach I think kids should go to school,
Speaker 1: but there might be a way like when children are
Speaker 1: younger to have like in a more unstructured like a
Speaker 1: couple of years where they discover and they're supervised, but
Speaker 1: they learn things and then we can step in and
Speaker 1: because to know something you have to learn it on
Speaker 1: your own, and to be taught something and you're just
Speaker 1: repeating you don't actually know it, so many children like
Speaker 1: forget things because of that. But I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just think like if we like let kids like I
Speaker 1: don't know, ages three to six just have supervised discovery time,
Speaker 1: like to actually just try to figure out the world
Speaker 1: on their own, we would actually be making way more
Speaker 1: innovation because you know everything you can know, but you
Speaker 1: just have to learn the language that you to express it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean that was one of the big kind of
Speaker 1: I think motivating factors at the place where we first
Speaker 1: worked together cracked was just like realizing how much of
Speaker 1: what like what we learned in school was giving you know,
Speaker 1: it was screwing over like how interesting a given subject is. Uh,
Speaker 1: including math, which is not something we ended up writing
Speaker 1: a lot about. But you, uh, you just put it
Speaker 1: really beautifully. All Right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to talk inauguration and we're back
Speaker 1: and uh, the inauguration is today going to be one
Speaker 1: of the most heavily secured events ever in the nation. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the National Guard as a result of that, is
Speaker 1: having to come to terms with a couple issues they
Speaker 1: might have surrounding white nationalism and white supremacy. I don't know,
Speaker 1: is there a problem people who have have extremists, people
Speaker 1: who have been monitoring extremism in the country been saying, Um,
Speaker 1: they're in law enforcement in the military too. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're now at the point where they have realized, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe we need to check up on this a little bit.
Speaker 1: Considering the amount of former and active duty law enforcement
Speaker 1: and military that pulled up on one six that they
Speaker 1: have to be like, okay, fuck, well it's twenty five troops. Um,
Speaker 1: let's hurry up and do a quick vetting of them
Speaker 1: all and this is what they say there, So they
Speaker 1: are going to vet all twenty five thousand troops. Apparently,
Speaker 1: they say, quote, the screening effort will very at the
Speaker 1: very least, at the very least involved running their names
Speaker 1: through databases and watch lists to see if anything pops up.
Speaker 1: And then they say, quote for this deployment, and everybody
Speaker 1: is screened additionally, but it's more of a reassurance because
Speaker 1: we do everything we can do to know our guardsmen,
Speaker 1: our soldiers and airmen. I feel like they're more strict
Speaker 1: about vote like voter suppression than they are with the
Speaker 1: national card. Oh yeah, like just come come in if
Speaker 1: you if we're trust you, you're you're white. As of
Speaker 1: right now, they've had ousked two people so far because
Speaker 1: of their background check. So we'll see scenes. We don't
Speaker 1: know how far they they say. They apparently they're saying
Speaker 1: that the like sort of, um, the vetting process will
Speaker 1: continue into went like into inauguration day Wednesday. It's the
Speaker 1: stage and okay, um, maybe we should hologram Um Biden
Speaker 1: for this. That's what I've been saying, Like I don't
Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's COVID for COVID reasons, but really,
Speaker 1: like let's be really like, this kind of ship happens
Speaker 1: in other countries within our lifetime, and we just feel
Speaker 1: like we're just it's like we're literally on a path
Speaker 1: that has a pattern that's you can actually use, Like
Speaker 1: we can look at past countries that have been taken over,
Speaker 1: and yet we're like, yeah, but it's different. You can
Speaker 1: look at the countries, you can look at the countries
Speaker 1: where we backed the coupe. Oh, they're literally cooing themselves
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's like, yeah, it's almost like they if
Speaker 1: only they had known before uh, the sixth of January,
Speaker 1: that there was a white nationalism problem in the National
Speaker 1: Guard or that that was a bad thing like that.
Speaker 1: That yeah, everywhere, Like we I mean, the very first
Speaker 1: episode we did of this show was right after Charlottesville,
Speaker 1: and like I still like one of the most visceral
Speaker 1: memories I have of anything from doing this show was
Speaker 1: that dude, like one of one of the white supremacists
Speaker 1: like firing a handgun like multiple times, like in a
Speaker 1: standoff and just like firing it at the ground. But
Speaker 1: like basically like this is I'm gonna start shooting people,
Speaker 1: and they're just being you know, white cops in the
Speaker 1: background who are just like ha ha, like man did
Speaker 1: not give it. Well, I feel like that's what's so frustrating,
Speaker 1: is I mean, I keep seeing this rhetoric unless a
Speaker 1: little bit more people are waking up. But even after
Speaker 1: January six, people are saying like, this isn't us. We
Speaker 1: can't do this. But it's like, we've had plenty of evidence,
Speaker 1: this is us, we pointed, this is us coming to
Speaker 1: It is just like, yeah, we have the evidence already
Speaker 1: instead of now. I feel like it's like Jack, you're
Speaker 1: talking about recovery earlier, but it's like, yeah, you can now,
Speaker 1: we know, but you can't just keep saying I've have
Speaker 1: a problem, a problem. It's like, now you got to
Speaker 1: fix it. And we've spent a lot of time being
Speaker 1: like we're racist but doing nothing about it. Right, Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the president's former president baby as you
Speaker 1: record the episode that never aired my pillow CEO. If
Speaker 1: his if his plan goes into action, maybe maybe we're
Speaker 1: blame it on China's Yes, but I don't know his
Speaker 1: His last week seemed to be Lindsay Graham and other
Speaker 1: people who are still in his corner, planning a little
Speaker 1: distraction trips and giving him like new things to just
Speaker 1: distract him. Right, Yeah, they have to, you know, he
Speaker 1: was there. We had a lot of warmongering going on
Speaker 1: on the beginning of January. We're like, oh, no, what
Speaker 1: is he what's okay? So maybe maybe he's not going
Speaker 1: to try something in terms of armed conflict with Iran,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's now just been basically shut the funk
Speaker 1: up and you know, try and get out of this
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe maybe someone will pardon you and the
Speaker 1: country will continue on. It's terrible pattern of excusing this
Speaker 1: kind of ship. But every day has been something, um,
Speaker 1: you know, from golfing with Lindsey Graham to you know,
Speaker 1: they gave him a pile of CDs with it that
Speaker 1: had all the plastic wrap that we're impossible to open
Speaker 1: from like the nineties early two thousand's. They had him
Speaker 1: open seven hundred of those ships for a day just
Speaker 1: to like just keep him occupied. And yeah, uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's been all in service of this man's ego. And
Speaker 1: it's just funny to read the sort of everything around
Speaker 1: this From the Washington Post, same quote, he has not
Speaker 1: held any public events in six days, although Aids insist
Speaker 1: he is hard at work on the American people, publishing
Speaker 1: daily on the president's otherwise empty public schedule that he
Speaker 1: quote and this is on the president's daily schedule. Quote,
Speaker 1: will work from early in the morning until late in
Speaker 1: the evening and make again verbatim, this is what's written down,
Speaker 1: make many calls and have many meetings. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: He literally is a kid that just wished to be
Speaker 1: big excep. He's doing it badly. Like it's not like
Speaker 1: it's big end. Well, a kid who got there would
Speaker 1: be like like I need an adult to help me,
Speaker 1: like have an air of legitimacy. Like he's just like no,
Speaker 1: I don't know, baby, work hard all day, do meetings
Speaker 1: and go on phone, big, big and loud. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what if he's like traveling around. This is where my
Speaker 1: brain gets paranoid, Like what if he's leaving har Crux
Speaker 1: is everywhere of like himself, So it's like like like
Speaker 1: a little little bits of himself, like evil Trump spirits
Speaker 1: around so like you know, four years down the road
Speaker 1: you accudentally opened a cursed gem and it's like I'm back,
Speaker 1: I'm too far or whatever. I think those those were
Speaker 1: left around the country a long time ago, even before Trump.
Speaker 1: So we may who knows, but yeah, there may be
Speaker 1: new one's new horcrux is in the mix, who knows.
Speaker 1: But then also on Fox and Friends, they continue to
Speaker 1: really just pat him on is back on the way
Speaker 1: out the sick of fan fest on his favorite show,
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends. It was unbelievable. Um On Tuesday morning,
Speaker 1: Ainsley Earhart had to just, you know, let the president
Speaker 1: know how much of an admire he is. How he
Speaker 1: just stands up to everything. It works so hard, ties
Speaker 1: President Trump, but no one can argue he is a worker.
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't drink alcohol. He stays up late
Speaker 1: at night. He watches every show. I'm sorry, so he
Speaker 1: said he doesn't drink up alcohol. He stays up late,
Speaker 1: watches every episode everything. Me two years ago, I just
Speaker 1: like depression. That's just stand up late watching TV is depression.
Speaker 1: He's going, Yeah, he's coming for that spot on Spotify.
Speaker 1: This is congratulations, Donald Trump. You're in the point one
Speaker 1: oh one percent of Fox and Friends watchers. We'll go
Speaker 1: on to hear her continue with this eulogy. He's working.
Speaker 1: He got to work immediately. And now Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: saying he's going to get to work on immigration on
Speaker 1: the first day in office. Some are criticizing him, like
Speaker 1: Senator Cotton for focusing on this issue instead of the
Speaker 1: pan Emick what do you say, Well, this is going
Speaker 1: to be part of the problem of where you know,
Speaker 1: absence makes the heart grow fonder, and while he's been
Speaker 1: able to stay in the background as President elect um,
Speaker 1: he's started being held less accountable for what is his
Speaker 1: priority list. Anyway, they go on to just you know,
Speaker 1: spin that absence makes the heart grow fonder about Trump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I almost feel like maybe that's a strategy along is
Speaker 1: be so bad but also do nothing and then you
Speaker 1: can't really like obviously the Republicans won't like the stuff
Speaker 1: Democrats do, but it will be active and they'll be like,
Speaker 1: well Trump didn't do that. But because he didn't do yeah,
Speaker 1: and then him leaving office is going to give us
Speaker 1: the feeling like people on the left of feeling of relief,
Speaker 1: like leaving a toxic situation. So in a way we
Speaker 1: all get to remember our last memory of him as
Speaker 1: like and wait in that same cycle where you have
Speaker 1: that crisis where you think about going back to that
Speaker 1: oh the x smash real quick and you're like, oh what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly when up text from America comes back, Like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump hits that US in a couple of years
Speaker 1: a w y d um, which I'll do. There's that
Speaker 1: Twitter thread that's going around that's like just the greatest
Speaker 1: hits of his most funniest moments basically where he was
Speaker 1: a hilarious laughing stock. But it does kind of take
Speaker 1: the pain out of what having him as the president
Speaker 1: was for the for the country. It's like with George W. Bush,
Speaker 1: it was like we turned him into an adorable dummy,
Speaker 1: uh in in retrospect, and not somebody who led to
Speaker 1: the deaths of millions of people. Yeah. Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's tough because I think everybody's going through
Speaker 1: this national trauma and having to make sense of it,
Speaker 1: and you know, processes process it however they can. But
Speaker 1: it does just feel like, I don't know, we we
Speaker 1: do have a tendency to kind of uh rose tinted
Speaker 1: glasses ex presidents, uh yeah, and just in general, we're
Speaker 1: not we're not open enough societally to process our trauma,
Speaker 1: even on a personal level in this country, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? So to take it here, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to be processing this much
Speaker 1: at all would be the thing. We're like, and you're
Speaker 1: just drinking, you know what I mean? Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how much we can do that, but who knows,
Speaker 1: because now the elites have been threatened by this presidency
Speaker 1: and maybe you're taking all of the symptoms of you know,
Speaker 1: systemic racism that came along with the administration seriously that
Speaker 1: maybe we will. I don't I really don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: but the inauguration day, just to kind of put a
Speaker 1: bow on what the president's last moments in office are
Speaker 1: going to be like. If things are still going to
Speaker 1: a plan, uh, he should be having a military style
Speaker 1: send off from Joint Base Andrews, which typically normally the
Speaker 1: the the outgoing president goes to the inauguration and then says, hey, thanks,
Speaker 1: he's the cocaine's under the weird table over there, and
Speaker 1: you're going to go um and then you go do
Speaker 1: your send off at Andrews and get and take the
Speaker 1: plane for one last ride to wherever you're going. But
Speaker 1: since this fucking crusty motherfucker doesn't want to ask Joe
Speaker 1: Biden for like any permission, because technically, since he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be the president anymore, it's like a request you make
Speaker 1: to the president, be like, may I take this one
Speaker 1: last ride upon Air Force one? Since he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to do that ship, he's leaving before noon, so he
Speaker 1: don't have to ask anybody for ship, and we think
Speaker 1: he's going to return air Force one. We think he's
Speaker 1: like like take fire fire like science cartoons, flame cartoons
Speaker 1: on the back. Yeah, who knows, but I mean it
Speaker 1: would go along with the other images we've seen because
Speaker 1: remember there's that photo over the week of someone taking
Speaker 1: off with the Abraham Lincoln bust, So who knows if
Speaker 1: they go in there and they're like, yo, he's stripped
Speaker 1: the He stripped the plane like it's cinder blocks, Like
Speaker 1: people try to steal her shoes, Like it's like I
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, at this point, Sairo allegedly did he
Speaker 1: need someplace to sleep, just curl up in her shoe
Speaker 1: and just loves shoes. And I don't understand why my
Speaker 1: wife says it's turning her off when I want to
Speaker 1: sniff her tosies yum. Well, speaking of what happens after
Speaker 1: Trump is done with Air Force one Mitch McConnell. Uh,
Speaker 1: People were making a big deal that he basically said
Speaker 1: yesterday the President encouraged the insurrection. Uh. And he's saying
Speaker 1: the right things, like people are like, well, that's a
Speaker 1: good sign, but he's saying them very carefully and in
Speaker 1: a noncommittal way that it suggests that he's like, if
Speaker 1: he wanted to be more forthright in his condemnation, he would,
Speaker 1: like everything that we've learned of this person is that
Speaker 1: he is a pure political animal who's only interested in
Speaker 1: securing power. And you know, he's saying insurrection bad, but
Speaker 1: I have to think he's going to use the fact
Speaker 1: that Trump is no longer in office as an argument
Speaker 1: to not go through with voting to impeach. It's hard,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, he's like doing a thing where he
Speaker 1: has to be Mitch McConnell and play poker. But then
Speaker 1: the numbers are also going up for impeachment after he
Speaker 1: leaves office. So like, because a lot of these especially
Speaker 1: the establishment Republicans, are trying to figure out, like what
Speaker 1: are we actually dealing with once he leaves, Like who
Speaker 1: is really on that Trump ship? And they might mago
Speaker 1: themselves into a third party or do we is there
Speaker 1: a way to still get them back? So I think
Speaker 1: they're content ending with a lot of different things they
Speaker 1: could have. Jim Jordan's I don't think we want him back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody wants him, not even I don't even I don't
Speaker 1: think Earth wants him. Um but yeah. All along with that, though,
Speaker 1: is the one thing that I can see I can
Speaker 1: see him doing both either being against impeachment or for it,
Speaker 1: is that it helps him still be in charge of
Speaker 1: what the Republican Party is. But I think right now
Speaker 1: we don't know what that is, you know, because if
Speaker 1: it turns if it's still pent Maga, then he has
Speaker 1: then he might not be able to do anything about it. Right,
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a very it's interesting. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Darth Vader's daughter and Liz Cheney and him
Speaker 1: are both seemingly going to do what's right. But we'll
Speaker 1: see if that triangulation is going to work. It's funny
Speaker 1: that use a Darth Vader because I was thinking, like
Speaker 1: Star Wars, like when Ray and um, what's his face? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kyla Adam Driver when they when they get together, Because
Speaker 1: like you know, even though the Democrats are sort of
Speaker 1: starting to get better. I don't know a question mark.
Speaker 1: They are like so much older in general than the Republicans,
Speaker 1: And I do think we are going to get to
Speaker 1: a point where like gen Z and the younger generation
Speaker 1: will make a third party, and it will be from
Speaker 1: both sides, because it's a fallacy that there's two sides,
Speaker 1: since most of us are criticizing both sides. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be like the third party that's going to be more
Speaker 1: the voice of the future. It might not be all
Speaker 1: like what we want, but it will feel more like
Speaker 1: some people from super far left, super far right coming
Speaker 1: together to be like, let's actually listen to each other.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I don't know if that
Speaker 1: the extremes can come together, but I think the unifying
Speaker 1: thing would be like people who understand that there's somehow
Speaker 1: either economically or legislatively oppressed the extremes. Like I think
Speaker 1: it goes in the circle because I mean not to
Speaker 1: this is sort of silly, but like when I saw
Speaker 1: the like they're very dangerous and violent guys who went
Speaker 1: into the White House, but they're also these dudes who
Speaker 1: just so much in due Land, where you like they're
Speaker 1: not even connecting to like they're removed from the idea
Speaker 1: of actually having a family, but they'll say things like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, traditional family. They're almost like extreme lesbian clans
Speaker 1: that are like no mat Like it's obviously very different
Speaker 1: because not violent, but like in the same sense of
Speaker 1: rejecting the whole thing to then be part of a
Speaker 1: culture that only is an echo chamber. They're actually way
Speaker 1: more similar to the thing that they think they're super
Speaker 1: against than they But I think it's still like it's
Speaker 1: hard for Yeah, I don't know that how easily people
Speaker 1: be able to put that ideology aside. I think overall,
Speaker 1: I think over time people realize how empty this like
Speaker 1: part is in language that's used is and how little
Speaker 1: affect it actually has on your like your ongoing day
Speaker 1: to day life. That to hear someone just be like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what, you know, I don't care about
Speaker 1: this or that. I'm just saying that we need to
Speaker 1: have a just an essential level of humanity that we
Speaker 1: apply across the board, you know, because it's getting into like, well,
Speaker 1: what about the conservatism is about this? Like, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't care about about that, because I
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is that like I'm not looking
Speaker 1: at destitute people that I know we can help or
Speaker 1: or how I can how I can change my situation
Speaker 1: from my kids. I think that's going to be like
Speaker 1: a thing that hopefully gains more traction as like people
Speaker 1: just you know, like you're saying, it's like it's the
Speaker 1: like the part is in tug of war thing is
Speaker 1: this sort of like the spectacle to detract from, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: but what does that mean for our outcomes like humanity,
Speaker 1: like living our lives. But I think that's exactly why,
Speaker 1: like the identity politics are going to be less important
Speaker 1: now that we have more decentralized ways of communicating, because
Speaker 1: we can strip down ultimately, even though they go about
Speaker 1: it the wrong way. Conservatives also just say they want
Speaker 1: the best for their family. But if you could actually
Speaker 1: strip it down to everyone, Like what if you could
Speaker 1: vote with AI, like you literally just vote what you
Speaker 1: wanted by policy and thought, and then it actually optimized
Speaker 1: the perfect structure of like people want to roof over
Speaker 1: their head. Okay, well here's how we could actually calculate
Speaker 1: how to do that outside of identity politics. I think
Speaker 1: people would put down the identity politics when they realized that,
Speaker 1: oh me, and everyone I know wants to eat and sleep,
Speaker 1: and actually this other stuff is like we can do
Speaker 1: that later. Like I think we would get over the
Speaker 1: identity stuff very fast the AI party. I believe that
Speaker 1: everyone should have an announcing my iron, and we should
Speaker 1: also ignore the three rules of robotics as was a Honestly,
Speaker 1: let's just let's just get our hand off the brakes here,
Speaker 1: folks deregulated. All right, let's take another quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back and again looking forward
Speaker 1: to I guess the end of today. Uh So, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden will be president, and he has picked Dr Rachel
Speaker 1: Levine to be Assistant Health Secretary. As America passed those
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand COVID deaths in just a year. It's
Speaker 1: been a single year since the since the first case
Speaker 1: was found in America. Miles, you were pointing out, this
Speaker 1: is kind of a encouraging sign. It has so many
Speaker 1: things that are heartening about this woman being picked as
Speaker 1: Assistant Health Secretary because not only like, okay, she's coming
Speaker 1: from running the health department in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has been
Speaker 1: like doing a really good job in terms of how
Speaker 1: they've been handling COVID cases. Um, you know they're saying that, like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, under her leadership there was like a post
Speaker 1: holiday spike, but overall their new cases and hospitalizations have
Speaker 1: dropped since like early January, which is not as for
Speaker 1: us in this city, we're like, okay, how please, because
Speaker 1: we're out here lifting like regulations on cremation because there's
Speaker 1: literally so many bodies piling up in this city. Um.
Speaker 1: You know. Also that someone who isn't coming from pharma
Speaker 1: or some revolving door thing or some weird think tank
Speaker 1: that's really there to be like we need to get
Speaker 1: money like public health. This is someone with public health
Speaker 1: very much in the front of their mind. Uh. She
Speaker 1: was a pediatrician at Penn State, and her expertise wasn't
Speaker 1: helping young teens with eating disorders or anyone who's doing
Speaker 1: self harm like. This is a compassionate person who whose
Speaker 1: life's work was understand like is treating people. And the
Speaker 1: one detail that the media is very has been pointing out,
Speaker 1: almost just leading the entire thing with, is that she's
Speaker 1: a trans woman. And and I think that like everything
Speaker 1: is just like just hyper focused on this, which I
Speaker 1: think is fantastic because it is historic to have this
Speaker 1: first openly trans person have such a hold such high
Speaker 1: office and things like that. But a lot of times
Speaker 1: they're not talking about like what that means as her
Speaker 1: function as the like the main policy driver of health
Speaker 1: and human services. UM. And that's really what I'm excited about,
Speaker 1: is that we have somebody who is has shown that
Speaker 1: they understand how to at least from their state, handle
Speaker 1: the pandemic, who has a bit of humanity to them.
Speaker 1: And also credit to the administration for saying for like
Speaker 1: basically putting the front of mind inclusion of trans people
Speaker 1: as a matter of health policy. UM. Those are all
Speaker 1: like very very great things. And yeah, and it couldn't
Speaker 1: come at a better time because their states, like you know,
Speaker 1: Montana and Idaho that are trying to pass all kinds
Speaker 1: of fucked up bills targeting trans kids, whether it's keeping
Speaker 1: kids from participating in sports or you know, denying access
Speaker 1: to like hormone therapies and things like that. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's good to see that at a federal level that
Speaker 1: we are you know, we're positioning people that can do
Speaker 1: to do right by all people. So yeah, yeah, she
Speaker 1: sounds great and also just it seems like they're going to.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like on the left and all
Speaker 1: the podcast, we do like we're all very aware mental
Speaker 1: health is a big part of just health, but I
Speaker 1: think as a nation we haven't necessarily like reconciled that.
Speaker 1: And I think based on her experience, like you know,
Speaker 1: working with teenagers with UM disorders and things like that,
Speaker 1: a lot of it's tied into mental health. So I
Speaker 1: feel hopeful that there's going to be a lot more
Speaker 1: reform and attention put on UM, just like wellness in
Speaker 1: holistic sense and not just on like like pharma and
Speaker 1: body and that sort of thing. Right, Yeah, And you know,
Speaker 1: when you think of right now who is currently in
Speaker 1: that position of assistant secretary. I just put a picture
Speaker 1: there because I'm like, I'm glad to see Dr Rachel
Speaker 1: Levine there, because right now we have admirable who looks
Speaker 1: like a fucking algorithm of like a dude you would
Speaker 1: be afraid to tell anything. I think he's cried in
Speaker 1: like five years. I don't think you should be able
Speaker 1: to be a board of any health thing if you
Speaker 1: can't cry and be in touch with your own no emotion.
Speaker 1: This man's photo, I just implore the ze. Getting checked
Speaker 1: the photo of this man, and just look at this photo.
Speaker 1: It looks like a kind of a doctor who would say,
Speaker 1: why are you crying now? Looks like constantly and that's
Speaker 1: why his eyes are like that. He's like his eyebrows
Speaker 1: cocked in the photo like he's already not compassionate about
Speaker 1: he doesn't so what's wrong with you? Yeah, get back
Speaker 1: out their soldier. Yeah, I mean he looks like a
Speaker 1: character from American Dead, like the just Super. Everybody's a
Speaker 1: fan of American Dad, right, yeah, but he just like Super.
Speaker 1: I don't know, old school military, Like this picture could
Speaker 1: be from the nineteen fifties if if the quality wasn't higher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I mean look at this guy like he had
Speaker 1: he has bona fides and things like that. But you know,
Speaker 1: what's it's just nice to see someone who it looks
Speaker 1: like the country like, looks like a person yeah, who
Speaker 1: is not you know, who's just made it their their
Speaker 1: goal to just do right um through their profession and
Speaker 1: then yeah, look what you do, it's a good job.
Speaker 1: It elevates you to the point where you know someone
Speaker 1: in leadership wants you to have a huge role. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I've read people who I haven't read all of Biden's
Speaker 1: like plan for attacking the pandemic, but people who have
Speaker 1: read it who are like kind of up on how
Speaker 1: policy work are describing it on Twitter as like infuriating Lee,
Speaker 1: like basic, it's just like all these things that it's
Speaker 1: obvious we should have been doing from day one, that
Speaker 1: just we're not getting done. My mom just got got
Speaker 1: back from Taiwan and she said they didn't even take
Speaker 1: her temperature at the airport. Oh really yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: like coming back to l A, like the Bay Area,
Speaker 1: but like she had to be there for months because
Speaker 1: they have to be quarantined for fourteen days in your
Speaker 1: room and then thirty days before you can like be
Speaker 1: out on crowds and stuff. And then she was like, no, wonder,
Speaker 1: it's really bad here. They aren't even trying, Like they
Speaker 1: literally are not even trying. Come on in, and Tiger,
Speaker 1: we're at a mask lest club party in Miami. H Well,
Speaker 1: you know what it is is nobody could be worse.
Speaker 1: Coming in. They're almost like please come in with your antibodies,
Speaker 1: like the US is the worst right now, like everyone
Speaker 1: come in, like bring your vaccines with you, right right, right, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: come in, Yes, hired immunity. That's not how it works.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just a heads up for our listeners.
Speaker 1: A couple less things. First of all, if you want
Speaker 1: to get your my pillows at Poles or bed bath
Speaker 1: and beyond, you're gonna have to go fat move pretty
Speaker 1: fast because the free markets doing its work. That's what
Speaker 1: That's what the right wing economists are always telling us,
Speaker 1: you know, just leave it to the free market. Well
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Right Wing people who believe in the
Speaker 1: free market unequivocally are calling this censorship. But it's really
Speaker 1: just you know, the stink of their moral bankruptcy and
Speaker 1: over white supremacy. And you know the same thing you'll
Speaker 1: say when you're like, I'll never buy Cure rig or Nike,
Speaker 1: you're saying you won't do that because you're gonna speak
Speaker 1: with your dollars and then hopefully that will signal to
Speaker 1: the company when the dollars migrate, that they need to
Speaker 1: get right. But but you don't like it when most
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, we're against all this ship you'll
Speaker 1: love um, and when you know the thing is it
Speaker 1: is affecting their business, like, yeah, we can't have this
Speaker 1: in here because we need to make money. Suck your feelings.
Speaker 1: We make money here. It's almost like the bad people
Speaker 1: are just still alight until the end. So this is
Speaker 1: in response to my Pillow CEO Mike Lindell going to
Speaker 1: visit with the President having a plan for you know,
Speaker 1: fascist overthrow of the government like and in his hands.
Speaker 1: Like That's how we found out is he had like
Speaker 1: big notes for it and on the right side Broadcasting Network. Uh.
Speaker 1: He was interviewed and said, I just got off the
Speaker 1: phone with Bed Bath and Beyond. They're dropping my Pillow.
Speaker 1: Just got off the phone not five minutes ago. Coals,
Speaker 1: all these different places, these companies, they're scared, Like a
Speaker 1: Bed Bath and Beyond they're scared. They were good partners.
Speaker 1: In fact, I told them, you guys come back anytime
Speaker 1: you want. How gracious of him. I know, I just
Speaker 1: loved it. He thinks it's like they'll they'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: So he's like, you didn't break up with me. I
Speaker 1: broke up with you, but I'll take you back when
Speaker 1: you decide. Uh um yeah, good good, good for good
Speaker 1: for Coals and Bed Bathroom Beyond. Only getting there now right,
Speaker 1: You guys can make pillows at home. They're really easy.
Speaker 1: It's literally the first thing you learned to sow when
Speaker 1: you learn how. So it's too squares, Okay, you don't,
Speaker 1: there's my pillow. Go. It's like he obviously isn't passionate
Speaker 1: about pillows. He's kind of make a big deal. Give
Speaker 1: he just has a business that he's like pillows. You
Speaker 1: take a hoodie, you take the hoodie, you tie up
Speaker 1: the drawstrings at the top of the hoodie and lupus
Speaker 1: so the hood is closed. Then you tie knots on
Speaker 1: the arm sleeves and then at the and then you
Speaker 1: stuff it with jeans and then you tie the bottom.
Speaker 1: And that's the first pillow I ever used. Pants worked
Speaker 1: really well because you got like the double So it's
Speaker 1: very easy, easy to manipulate. If you stuff them with
Speaker 1: like T shirts or something you can. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to talk to both of your your partners and just
Speaker 1: make sure they're doing okay, because make sure that the house.
Speaker 1: She said you can sleep with your quote unquote pillow
Speaker 1: in the garage, and I was like, well, then I
Speaker 1: guess me and my pillow will be in the garage
Speaker 1: if I know where all the sweatpants are Teresa. Um,
Speaker 1: yeah that if I don't have hair, riddle me that.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're a problem. I of her stops assumed. Uh.
Speaker 1: And as we say goodbye to the former first family, Uh,
Speaker 1: someone who I feel like we haven't paid as much
Speaker 1: attention to. Still probably way too much attention to. But
Speaker 1: Tiffany Trump seems like she is she understands what what's
Speaker 1: happening and real quickly got some got some snaps in
Speaker 1: for the Graham. Uh. Engagement photos. She got engaged. It's
Speaker 1: nice to see, you know, she knows. Okay, how much
Speaker 1: time do we have. She's like, Michael, we have to
Speaker 1: Apparently we actually have to fucking be out Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: It's not even Wednesday morning. So we didn't take this
Speaker 1: photo now or if you're gonna, if we're gonna get engaged,
Speaker 1: to be soon. So they got engaged. It looks like
Speaker 1: a like a log school graduation. Yeah, they're both in.
Speaker 1: She's wearing black, he's wearing black. It's not a I
Speaker 1: don't think it's look. I'm gonna take a look. This
Speaker 1: might be a hot take. I don't think this is
Speaker 1: the engagement photo she wanted. It feels very rushed. Um,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I feel like there are a lot cooler
Speaker 1: places to take photos that indicate you're at the White
Speaker 1: House than sort of like even it's not even an
Speaker 1: iconic part of the White House. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: that one spot, right, it's like I think where you
Speaker 1: go from the press to like the West Wing or
Speaker 1: something like, it's always like the spot where you see
Speaker 1: like walking the walk and talk. I was just gonna
Speaker 1: say that specifically. Yeah, but you have to know, right
Speaker 1: because like, look, if I'm there, I wanted to be
Speaker 1: like literally like on the lawn and I'm up the
Speaker 1: White House, you know what I mean, not like this
Speaker 1: subtle ship. So she's with Michael Bulos, who's her fiancee
Speaker 1: who popped the question. I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was, you know, a rushed engagement because
Speaker 1: the time was taking on this photo. But he's in
Speaker 1: a quote unquote executive at his dad's company. But I
Speaker 1: just want to say the most important detail here is that,
Speaker 1: oh absolutely is that tiff and Mikey. They met in Greece. Okay,
Speaker 1: when Tiffany was spending time with her bff and international
Speaker 1: Woman of Mystery Lindsay Lohan. So get it what you're
Speaker 1: mis island. At least Tiffany, like I know, she was
Speaker 1: like kind of a punchline for a lot of the presidency,
Speaker 1: but at the very least like she did stay out
Speaker 1: of it. With Ivanka, like I feel like right from
Speaker 1: the start, it was almost in a way kind of
Speaker 1: reverse or it was sexist where people were like, she'll
Speaker 1: save us, Like Ivanka has never done anything or said
Speaker 1: anything to make us think she's weak. She's actually much
Speaker 1: scarier because she's more palatable to look at, and she
Speaker 1: is very much behind her dad, like she's never but
Speaker 1: yet from the beginning, we're like, she'll save us, Like
Speaker 1: why why did we ever think that? Maybe Tiffany, because
Speaker 1: Tiffani maybe doesn't want to be there. But Ivanka seems
Speaker 1: like she she might run, you know, like she can
Speaker 1: she can iterate on the dumb ship that her dad
Speaker 1: did and maybe you mean like a less threatening because
Speaker 1: she's a woman. To sexist actually makes her more dangerous,
Speaker 1: which the other thing I think she might run, So
Speaker 1: let's not let that happen. We'll see, we'll see how
Speaker 1: toxic that name is or it's just that thing where
Speaker 1: it's like we get that text, well, and we're like,
Speaker 1: funck do we Maybe she's different than her dad, but
Speaker 1: that Tiffany may have just been smarter, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like she was she was like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to law school. I'm just talk ship like because
Speaker 1: all the stories were privately she would flame her fucking
Speaker 1: family and then like but then be at the events,
Speaker 1: you know, because she whatever has to be. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if she's just saying that, you know, because
Speaker 1: she's sort of deaf at maneuvering, you know, social settings,
Speaker 1: but you know much uh, you know, much success to
Speaker 1: the newly engaged couple. And I hope, I hope Lindsay
Speaker 1: Lohan is the efficient at the wedding. Yeah, absolutely, mind
Speaker 1: right right? Who who's the Republican politician? Who is it?
Speaker 1: Matt Gets who is really into Tiffany and was like
Speaker 1: loving her photos and being like absolute stunning. Tiffany is
Speaker 1: so hot. Thatt Case is the one that's like, yeah
Speaker 1: he was him and Jim Jordan during the tech hearing
Speaker 1: where like the most ridiculous like saying the stupidest que
Speaker 1: and on stuff. Yeah, they're always I don't know what
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully this part of you wants him to like
Speaker 1: be smarter, even though that's discrimination. I'm sorry, But like
Speaker 1: with the older guys, like there's a tradition to it.
Speaker 1: It's like we know you don't think this, But the
Speaker 1: younger ones, I'm like, you could change things. Why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? Yeah? But if you you know. But
Speaker 1: it's like anything when people grow up idolizing a dumb
Speaker 1: person like you should know better. It's like, oh, but
Speaker 1: you grew up idolizing Louie Gomert. Okay, no wonder, I
Speaker 1: would like to be that dumb person for children to idolize.
Speaker 1: One day we can be. Don't worry when you when
Speaker 1: you do that, whole children's book equals MC squared. There
Speaker 1: you go. This does kind of tie in with just
Speaker 1: the overall question of what McConnell is going to do,
Speaker 1: because if he does ultimately, you know, vote to convict
Speaker 1: and gets the two thirds in the Senate, I feel
Speaker 1: like then the question immediately becomes which Trump child is
Speaker 1: going to run for president? And probably and it would
Speaker 1: be between Don Junior and Avanka um or is there
Speaker 1: a calculus like don't do that? Like, okay, if you're
Speaker 1: super if you're playing you know, ship head machiavellian chest
Speaker 1: with Mitch McConnell. Uh is it that you leave him there?
Speaker 1: You don't you also vote to not impeach him, So
Speaker 1: the party's like, okay, man, Mitch, Mitch has figured it
Speaker 1: out to know if I this idiot will think he
Speaker 1: can run in four years, fuck that he ain't gonna suck.
Speaker 1: Even if he tries. We we know this time, we'll
Speaker 1: believe will club his ass the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: He won't even know what fucking hit him. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: do everything we can this time to stop him. If
Speaker 1: even has it, like if they feel that they're they're
Speaker 1: down to face of Trump in four years type person,
Speaker 1: versus cleaving him from the party, giving all this energy
Speaker 1: to the Trump name just to march out a kid.
Speaker 1: And now they're contending with like an angry party that
Speaker 1: they piste off from holding him accountable, and now they
Speaker 1: don't know how to crangle that. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: all U problem. I care not to be in. But
Speaker 1: I think they're still playing too much in the future.
Speaker 1: I mean, like the reality is what we've got to
Speaker 1: get back to the truth, right, Like they're still trying to,
Speaker 1: like you said, playing chess instead of just going, this
Speaker 1: is the thing that you do now, because we kept
Speaker 1: putting snooze on like panic, and then it was like
Speaker 1: people almost can't panic anymore because like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm um, but just get rid of him and then
Speaker 1: if all that stuff happens and it comes back and
Speaker 1: then we deal with it. We if we are like
Speaker 1: constantly like playing this game, then we're just giving him
Speaker 1: more and more space to do whatever whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: Stop thinking about it, let him fade away, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, like to your point, even all
Speaker 1: of the triangulating and calculations and things like that, they
Speaker 1: pale in comparison to just addressing problems directly, you know.
Speaker 1: For even for people like the Republicans, they came in
Speaker 1: like yo Joe Biden and going far enough to like
Speaker 1: help the people of like my constituency, Like that's gonna
Speaker 1: that's gonna pull well, even if people are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're a trumper, like because objectively that's like a
Speaker 1: better sentiment to have, but they're so they're so over
Speaker 1: leveraged in white supremacy and oppression that they have to
Speaker 1: just go funck man, how are we gonna sunk around
Speaker 1: this time because we can't just suddenly be all like
Speaker 1: humane and ship and actually build a coalition of support
Speaker 1: like so, but they could in a way where it
Speaker 1: would be dangerous because all they have to do is
Speaker 1: do one thing that's out of the ordinary. Will be like, oh,
Speaker 1: we like you again, we trust them. Like imagine if
Speaker 1: the Republican Party suddenly changed its view on immigration but
Speaker 1: nothing else, like abortion, nothing else. I think they would
Speaker 1: win over a lot of people. It's almost kind of scary.
Speaker 1: The Democrats have mastered that, so it'll be hard on
Speaker 1: the shade the shade. Sorry, Teresa, It's been a pleasure
Speaker 1: as always having you. Where can people find you and
Speaker 1: follow you? Um, you can follow me at Larissa t
Speaker 1: online and I am Selly Valenine, so if you want.
Speaker 1: They're kind of like cheeky. They're all based on jokes
Speaker 1: I've written. So it's on my website Tweetie comedy dot
Speaker 1: com slash shop. I'm sorry I'm not as funny because
Speaker 1: I haven't done stand it, but I did start in
Speaker 1: only fans for talking about the singularity and quantum So

Speaker 1: like Teresa, thoughts like if you like that one video
Speaker 1: of me doing trooms on cracked, follow me on only thing.
Speaker 1: It's always slash. It's literally me talking about quantum in
Speaker 1: a way that makes sense to me, but it might
Speaker 1: just be entertaining for you guys. Oh yeah, uh And
Speaker 1: is there tweet or some of the work of social
Speaker 1: media you've been enjoying. Oh sure, this one made me
Speaker 1: laugh this morning. I don't know this person, It was

Speaker 1: time the traitor Joe's cashier gave me a single rose
Speaker 1: for free, and I saw the same guy at a

Speaker 1: are full. Don't come to l a yep. Yeah yeah,

Speaker 1: women instead. I thought was a very do you TikTok? Well?
