Speaker 1: talk about sliceable hot sauce, and we'll talk about what
Speaker 1: we're looking at it as far as Super Bowl commercials
Speaker 1: this year, all of that plenty more. But first, Alex,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are. I
Speaker 1: have spent a lot of time over the last couple
Speaker 1: of days looking for curtains for the apartment that I'm
Speaker 1: living in, and I I think I'll never find them.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, and I want I want one
Speaker 1: panel curtains for my kitchen, and every kitchen set of
Speaker 1: curtains seems to be like a two piece bathing suit
Speaker 1: with like a little bit at the top and then
Speaker 1: like a little bit in the middle, and uh and
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. I'm like, this is the height
Speaker 1: of sickening domesticity, where I'm just like, no, those curtains
Speaker 1: are too aren't are too black out? Those curtains are
Speaker 1: too translucent. I'm not gonna be able to I need
Speaker 1: curtains that give me a privacy and let some light in.
Speaker 1: Like it's a really unpleasant, shitty errand I wish I
Speaker 1: had cooler you know. I also spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time searching the guy who wrote those songs Spirit in
Speaker 1: the Sky. Oh, well, what's would you learn about him? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, as much as I want to talk
Speaker 1: about orthodox June named Norman Green Baham from Boston area.
Speaker 1: He uh was He heard gospel on television, thought that
Speaker 1: sounds easy, sat down and wrote the top charting gospel
Speaker 1: song of all time in thirteen minutes, Jesus Christ. It
Speaker 1: took him thirteen and then he looked at the clock.
Speaker 1: It was twelve five. He looked at the clock, Ghett
Speaker 1: it was twelve to two. It took him thirteen minutes
Speaker 1: to write Spirit in the Sky, which has just charted
Speaker 1: more than any it's not the best gospel song, it's
Speaker 1: the highest charting gospel song, and people send him angry
Speaker 1: letters because he says there's a lyric where he says,
Speaker 1: I'm not a sinner, I've never sinned, but I got
Speaker 1: a friend in Jesus, And people send him letters about
Speaker 1: how we're all sinners, and he writes back like I'm Jewish,
Speaker 1: I don't really give a ship. I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say so gospel song. I was thinking of a different song,
Speaker 1: but that that's the the ghanda da da da to
Speaker 1: the spirit in this guy. It's like a seventies like
Speaker 1: it's like a seventies rock song, but is about Jesus, right,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't feel like actual like the genre of
Speaker 1: gospel music. Right it was classified Sorry, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know, but it was. It's it's listed
Speaker 1: as it was. It was gospel charting. It charted gospel.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's about Jesus, so that's all
Speaker 1: you need. Right. It's the second most requested song at funerals, really, yeah,
Speaker 1: behind Danny Better. Um. That's so interesting when so was
Speaker 1: he doing it almost as a. It was like, here, here,
Speaker 1: these these idiots to love this because it kind of
Speaker 1: feels like he's like, oh, that looks really easy. He
Speaker 1: doesn't it as a joke. I think he was sort
Speaker 1: of like Captain beefheart band called like the Eggplant that
Speaker 1: Ate Chicago or something like that, and then he wrote
Speaker 1: that this is a joke and people were like, this
Speaker 1: is just such a great gospel song. He's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's a fucking joke. And that's that's so interesting. That
Speaker 1: happens so often we I've I've talked about it before,
Speaker 1: but the fact that, uh that Steelers Wheel Songs stuck
Speaker 1: in the middle with you was them doing like basically
Speaker 1: seeing that Bob Dylan was so successful and being like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make fun of Bob Dylan with like a
Speaker 1: bunch of shitty Bob Dylan metaphors about clowns and jokers
Speaker 1: and like do an actual shitty Bob Dylan voice during
Speaker 1: the song. They're like going, wells loved me jokes and
Speaker 1: like it's there by far their biggest hit, uh, the
Speaker 1: number one song to get Tortured too. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if most people know that, but that song is behind
Speaker 1: Danny Boy is the number is the number. If you
Speaker 1: haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, that joke will make zero sends
Speaker 1: to you. But it is. I think everyone's seen that.
Speaker 1: I think we can it's I mean, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they call it the gospel, maybe
Speaker 1: just because of the lyrics, because I wouldn't say like
Speaker 1: it has like the actual structure of traditional gospel music
Speaker 1: like sonically, but yeah, I guess, I guess like in
Speaker 1: that sense. And they're like, well, if it's Jesus base like,
Speaker 1: that's we'll put it in there in the gospel. Maybe
Speaker 1: a bit of Rolex when they were saying he wasn't country,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a hundred percent of rock song. Also,
Speaker 1: it was issued under the name Norman green Bomb. No
Speaker 1: one like is this guy Sam Cook or something like
Speaker 1: it was. Uh yeah, it seems like it belongs squarely
Speaker 1: in the uh in the same category as the Jeremiah
Speaker 1: was a Bullfrog. Um, well, what are some other like
Speaker 1: rock songs that are of that genre of like rock
Speaker 1: songs that seem like they could have been written by
Speaker 1: a five year old? But they rule for sure that's
Speaker 1: not an insult. The mash the themed a Mash was
Speaker 1: Robert Altman said, okay, so for the theme music, we
Speaker 1: need something that sounds like it was written by a
Speaker 1: ten year old, like literally written by a ten year old,
Speaker 1: and whoever was writing it couldn't do it. So Robert
Speaker 1: Altman's son, Michael wrote the music and he was like
Speaker 1: thirteen years old. And so there was a time where
Speaker 1: the thirteen year old son of Robert Altman was pulling
Speaker 1: in more money and royalties for Mash than Robert Altman
Speaker 1: was writing music. Is that true? It really is. I
Speaker 1: mean I may be messing up the names. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: not Michael Altman, but I think it is. But the
Speaker 1: song is called Suicide Is Painless, and which that kid
Speaker 1: that's a thirteen year old name. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: thirteen year old coming up with that title, because that's
Speaker 1: the real angsty. I hate to hate to pull some
Speaker 1: some string like number crunch here he was fifteen. Apparently
Speaker 1: he was fifteen. I'm so sorry. What's his name? Michael Altman? Though?
Speaker 1: Wasn't the name you did? You got the Michael Altman
Speaker 1: two years fund the age, so and I added some
Speaker 1: precocity to that kid. Yeah, and Elvis also was doing
Speaker 1: like a bit. He was doing a fake character to
Speaker 1: make the session musicians laugh, and that's where he got
Speaker 1: like at first he was singing like himself, like he
Speaker 1: would sing, and then he started doing like a who
Speaker 1: don't you like things like that and people were like, no,
Speaker 1: that actually slaps keep doing that, And that's how he
Speaker 1: came up with the thing after like hours of just
Speaker 1: trying to sing in a straightforward with what I was.
Speaker 1: I was. I opened for back for a little while
Speaker 1: on the road check when people know. But when people
Speaker 1: still did that, I did stand up and it was great.
Speaker 1: And one of his um, one of the folks that
Speaker 1: was tory with them, told me that when you know
Speaker 1: that loser, which is one of his most famous songs,
Speaker 1: where he was in the studio and he kept sucking
Speaker 1: something up. And I've not I've not clarified this direct
Speaker 1: it with Beck, but I've had this confirmed by other people,
Speaker 1: which is that he was like he started saying he
Speaker 1: started saying about how he was a loser, and they're like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna use that. Yeah, he's like loser babies, Why
Speaker 1: don't I mean like he's he's unbelievable. So it's not
Speaker 1: like he's he's funk up. But I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: can imagine that people doing ship for laughs. Musicians are
Speaker 1: so painfully earnest that sometimes when they're occasionally not taking
Speaker 1: themself seriously, maybe it's better than the stuff that they're doing,
Speaker 1: because they get out of their own way, right, and
Speaker 1: it like just get by doing something silly or something,
Speaker 1: it just like gets the it clears the signal for
Speaker 1: them or whatever whatever it is. Also, there's something about
Speaker 1: the alchemy of doing something simple and like, you know,
Speaker 1: my favor there's a piece by Eric Johnson, who is
Speaker 1: a great guitarist called Cliffs of Dover, which is like
Speaker 1: famously like one of the hardest pieces to play on guitar,
Speaker 1: but it's got a really simple riff at the center
Speaker 1: of it. And he was like, yeah, I was taking
Speaker 1: my groceries and for the car road in like five minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like Sweet Child of Mine was a finger stretching exercise
Speaker 1: that Slash used to do. Yeah, there's like a bunch
Speaker 1: of stories like that where it's just like these very
Speaker 1: simple things and like musicians just are are too complicated.
Speaker 1: They get too complicated with it. They're too advanced. You
Speaker 1: may know, customed Over from being the hardest song to
Speaker 1: playing guitar hero, but it is very very good. I
Speaker 1: mean through the fire and flames on, like the hardest
Speaker 1: mode is also pretty pretty intense too. My guar freaks
Speaker 1: out there, Alex. What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: I've been ranting all day yesterday about I think, but
Speaker 1: it's also music, so I'm like, maybe I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: But underrated is um I would say Mark Cohen's Walking
Speaker 1: in Memphis or just stuck in my head at a
Speaker 1: But in the theme of getting off the track, you
Speaker 1: know what's underrated? Just having plane um rice, just have
Speaker 1: a warm rice with something is incredibly underrated, as warm
Speaker 1: rice with soy sauce is extremely decent snack. Or warm
Speaker 1: rice with like seaweed for like the dried seaweed thing,
Speaker 1: like I had that for I've had that for lunch
Speaker 1: a couple of days and maybe it's just my Actually
Speaker 1: this is only acceptable in the pandemic. I'm realizing that
Speaker 1: as I say it, that this type, this type of
Speaker 1: lifestyles and legs. But like I've had like microwavable rice
Speaker 1: and it's pretty good, and I think, yeah, microwavable rice,
Speaker 1: I am just discovering it now, as is that the
Speaker 1: saddest underrated that you guys know had You're you're honoring
Speaker 1: the way of my people as we've been doing it
Speaker 1: for centuries. We have been eating the rice. I mean yeah, Japanese. Uh,
Speaker 1: every meal is you have to have rice on the
Speaker 1: table like plane. So I've also I've done the thing
Speaker 1: too where you can buy like the microwavable, like you
Speaker 1: pop it in for ninety seconds rather than like having
Speaker 1: to do a whole thing of it. Uh. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very it's very I even have her Majesty, my partner,
Speaker 1: she's even fucking with the white rice, like being like,
Speaker 1: how about that? And then just a piece of salmon
Speaker 1: and then we put that on the rice. I'm like,
Speaker 1: look at you, thank you. Also, my girlfriend color coded
Speaker 1: my bookshelf and I was noticed curious, furious when she
Speaker 1: did that, absolutely furious. It's like it's categorized by pretentiousness.
Speaker 1: How dare you? And now I'm like, it's it's kind
Speaker 1: of nice. It looks think about doing that with my
Speaker 1: kids children's book bookshelf? How long is that gonna last? Though? Yeah? Zero,
Speaker 1: like to that night. But there's it's currently a complete
Speaker 1: mess and you can't find anything. So we got too
Speaker 1: many books. Yeah, rice is in my in law's household.
Speaker 1: There's always a rice cooker just with hot rice in
Speaker 1: it that you can just like Popo and get a
Speaker 1: spoonful of rice. At any time. We have a rice cooker. Uh,
Speaker 1: we will often have like for a month stretch, just
Speaker 1: some rice warming in the in the rice cooker. I
Speaker 1: tried to make rice the other day, and uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it was the wrong kind of rice,
Speaker 1: because what's that you got a Korean fam we have
Speaker 1: same rice. You have an auto rice cooker, right, you
Speaker 1: just put in it was brown rice and for some
Speaker 1: reason it like didn't cook all the way and it
Speaker 1: was still like hard. Uh. And I I put water
Speaker 1: in it multiple times. Uh, like I did it. I
Speaker 1: cooked it multiple times. I was like, surely this will
Speaker 1: make it soft, and it was just dry and hard. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I uh was ashamed and wish I shared that
Speaker 1: on the show, U, what is something Alex you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? In Leebwitz, I wanted to hear an old
Speaker 1: Jew complain. I listened to me I and so they're fine,
Speaker 1: they're basic complaining observations that everyone has, they're not there.
Speaker 1: I'm actually not kidding, more worried about saying this on
Speaker 1: a recorded medium than I've ever been about it saying
Speaker 1: anything I don't want to get canceled for. I like
Speaker 1: Friendly Wits a lot. I've read everything she's ever published,
Speaker 1: which is like three books, and they're small. I just
Speaker 1: don't understand why someone who's basically been tweeting since nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy nine is this grand joyanne of like curmudgeon liness.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it is the and by the way, everyone's
Speaker 1: like she's such an avant garde figure. Everyone enjoys her.
Speaker 1: I don't know a single like by the way, I
Speaker 1: don't even hate fran Lewitz. I think Friendly It's is great.
Speaker 1: I just don't think frandle Woods needs to be inaugurated
Speaker 1: into the brown paper bag pantheon of New York City,
Speaker 1: where everyone's like, she's just you see her on the street,
Speaker 1: She's not a deity. And so now there's like a
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese documentary where he laughs at her bond mots
Speaker 1: about how people walk too slow on the sidewalk, which
Speaker 1: is the same thing everyone's been complaining about since I
Speaker 1: don't understand why she's so famous. Pretended to city is
Speaker 1: what it's called, because that's her. That's her joke is
Speaker 1: pretend it's a city and act like they are people
Speaker 1: around you. It's one bit and it's one It's one bit,
Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm done with it. I want to
Speaker 1: see the positive friendly but it's spins. I know that
Speaker 1: she's angry. That's fine. I'm angry too. Just show me something. Also,
Speaker 1: spice tuna, Crispy rice very overrated. While we're on the
Speaker 1: rice time rice, it's everywhere, it's a it's a it's wow.
Speaker 1: I was about to say epidemic, but we've got to
Speaker 1: be careful that our word tricy. It's everywhere, spice tuna,
Speaker 1: Christie rice. And they're not all created equal. Some are
Speaker 1: really good, some really bad. But as a concept, it's overrated.
Speaker 1: And I like, Now there's a restaurant in Glendale, California,
Speaker 1: near where I live, and they have a sign outside
Speaker 1: that says no spice tuna Crispy rice, which I appreciate,
Speaker 1: Thank god. I mean it's yeh, look, I know like
Speaker 1: NOBU did it first and that was like the thing
Speaker 1: and every funny you had, the crispy rice and then
Speaker 1: it just became like like the cupcake phenomenon of like
Speaker 1: Japanese restaurants where it's like you gotta have a Krispy
Speaker 1: Rice thing, and like like Japanese people are like for
Speaker 1: who because we don't want that? Like that ain't no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. When I go there with like my family
Speaker 1: or my mom or whatever, we're not like, yoh, we
Speaker 1: gotta get the Crispy rice. It's just a very I
Speaker 1: think it's like I think it being at Nobu made
Speaker 1: it this sort of it elevated it to this idea
Speaker 1: of like fancy Japanese restaurant dish um but yeah, let food. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned now about my I don't want to
Speaker 1: be I don't want to have my credentials. I say,
Speaker 1: Devout New York. Do you revoked? So please, please guys
Speaker 1: be kind if you are big Friendly Woods, and please,
Speaker 1: I asked, I don't want Friendly Woods to find out
Speaker 1: because she's a scary lady. So I think you can
Speaker 1: match wits with Fran Yeah, I think you'd be fine.
Speaker 1: I think it would actually be be good for you.
Speaker 1: I think you should start a feud with friendly Woods.
Speaker 1: It could be like the West coast thing now that
Speaker 1: you're in l A's just like, I don't beef down.
Speaker 1: She's like, get your numbers up home, don't beef down.
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta. I got a Martin Scorsese special
Speaker 1: under my belt. Son, who I don't need you keep
Speaker 1: doing these grainy as podcast, motherfucker. Uh all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back. Uh and let's talk l A. Uh greatest
Speaker 1: city in the world, just just the best that it
Speaker 1: has the entertainment industry, which you know, which is poisoned
Speaker 1: Earth's mind. All right, let's talk about this. Uh, l
Speaker 1: A rich people are doing their most I'm I'm assuming
Speaker 1: it's not just l A rich people. But Variety just
Speaker 1: came out with an article that how this is epidemic
Speaker 1: in the um you know what you know, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like good because Variety wrote it because they know,
Speaker 1: like they are these people. So it's they're telling on themselves,
Speaker 1: you know, like they know the agents and the studio
Speaker 1: exacts and all these soup like the Geffens and all
Speaker 1: of those people. They hear this ship and they put
Speaker 1: in an article that isn't like as critical of the
Speaker 1: of this phenomenon, it's like wow, the lengths people will
Speaker 1: go huh with like having any kind of take on
Speaker 1: the morality of it. So yes, they are doing fucking
Speaker 1: all kinds of things to like legal options, which is
Speaker 1: like how do I jump the line? So what they'll do,
Speaker 1: they're been they've they'll take like private physicians and go
Speaker 1: to these like bespoke healthcare places and like lean on
Speaker 1: the physicians like what the funk, bro, You're usually able
Speaker 1: to get me fucking anything, Get me the fucking vaccine,
Speaker 1: or being like what can I donate? Or asking friends
Speaker 1: who work out on the boards of hospitals, like what
Speaker 1: can I do for you personally? Can you help me
Speaker 1: somehow get the vaccine? And that's that's one way. Or
Speaker 1: other people are taking private jets to Florida for like
Speaker 1: vaccination tourism as they call it, just to get there
Speaker 1: because it's much easier to work around in Florida. Um,
Speaker 1: and that's just the legal ship. There's another guy, doctor
Speaker 1: h we Zenga and Beverly Hills said that he's been
Speaker 1: offered like bribes in the tens of thousands by individuals
Speaker 1: to get their whole families or whatever vaaccinated before everyone else. Um,
Speaker 1: they're also just saying like he's also seen people trying
Speaker 1: to ask him how they could quote transiently get into
Speaker 1: the health care profession or on staff at nursing homes
Speaker 1: so they qualify for early vaccines. Um, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: get it. The rollout has been the ship show obviously,
Speaker 1: Like my own parents, who are in over sixty five
Speaker 1: and are able to get a vaccine, has been very
Speaker 1: difficult or you know, it's been a start stop process,
Speaker 1: but have been getting there. But it's just sort of
Speaker 1: like I'm not sure, Like I don't understand why they
Speaker 1: think that gives them the right to I don't know,
Speaker 1: like cut the line in front of a fucking essential
Speaker 1: medical worker, or what they think happens once they're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: Like oh now world now everything is now, Spago will
Speaker 1: reopen because I'm vaccinated. Like what's the lack of awareness
Speaker 1: as a member of a community that it requires to do?
Speaker 1: Like as as the people who are most able to
Speaker 1: continue to distance and stay out of harm's way, they're
Speaker 1: so fully bought into the like sort of me first
Speaker 1: individualism of the West that they can't they can't even
Speaker 1: see that or I don't know, they don't want to. Uh.
Speaker 1: There is a a story in Vancouver, but it does
Speaker 1: have an entertainment industry connection. A rich fifty year old
Speaker 1: and his wife who is a thirty two year old
Speaker 1: actress who was in the movies Fat Man and Chick Fight. Uh,
Speaker 1: they chartered a plane like Batman and the Joker Fat
Speaker 1: Man and Chick Fight. No, those are separate movies. Like
Speaker 1: that sounds kind of high concept, but uh, they charted
Speaker 1: a plane to a tribal land in the Yukon that
Speaker 1: has one hundred people and posed as local shopkeepers, uh,
Speaker 1: to get the vaccines when it was being given to
Speaker 1: elderly indigenous. That is elaborate. That is some heist movie. Shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like a heist movie where you're rooting against the people. Paul.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like The Worst Oceans eleven. You're like, God,
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope they're caught. Right. It's Katarina Baker
Speaker 1: and her husband's name is like Rodney Baker or something
Speaker 1: like that is the name of the couple. Rodney. Vancouver
Speaker 1: just went down a couple of spots on my Favorite
Speaker 1: city list because of that. I get no respect, no
Speaker 1: respects because I'm a funny criminal. I'm appropriating indigenous culture
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine. Whoa, I got a fake mustache
Speaker 1: and uh and that was sussed out pretty quick. I
Speaker 1: come doing an Indian accent. It's it was the wrong time.
Speaker 1: It ends up being it. It sounds like a really
Speaker 1: fucked up scene from the office that would have actually
Speaker 1: happened where Michael tries to get a vaccine on on
Speaker 1: on the tribal ground. That don't that's so funny and
Speaker 1: his and he has a rationale for it that he's
Speaker 1: definitely like, my dad got a vaccine. My dad is
Speaker 1: an I see you doctor in Boston. He's one of
Speaker 1: the first to get a vaccine. And I was relieved.
Speaker 1: But it's by no means like a get out of
Speaker 1: jail free car. You've got to be really careful and
Speaker 1: you can still pass it on to people. And it's like,
Speaker 1: it's really not great you get it. Even if you
Speaker 1: have the you can still it's it's it's scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: considering the environment we're in. Two it's like, yeah, you can,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't change the overall picture the situation you're in.
Speaker 1: You're so right about spargo, like these people do think
Speaker 1: they're like, well, I've got vaccinated, when they're like they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like let usten Wolfgang, But you know, what
Speaker 1: have you heard of? So in l A there's something
Speaker 1: called overflow lines where they can't waste these vaccines once
Speaker 1: they're open. So you can wait on an overflow line
Speaker 1: and get a vaccine if you know, people don't show
Speaker 1: up for their appointments, or if people can't show up
Speaker 1: for their appointments, or if they've got extra stuff left
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So there is a
Speaker 1: way to get the vaccine legally. It still doesn't seem
Speaker 1: great though, because the l A Times wrote an article
Speaker 1: a few days ago about how you know the there's
Speaker 1: a district in l A that's n uh you know,
Speaker 1: black and Latino, and the overflow line was almost exclusively
Speaker 1: white people who had heard about it as sort of
Speaker 1: like a life hack and we're coming to get it.
Speaker 1: And they asked a bunch of people on the line
Speaker 1: if they thought it was okay, and everyone was like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: but don't use my name in the article so they
Speaker 1: know it's I mean, it's like it's a tough one
Speaker 1: because on one hand, like philosophically, like you can't wait
Speaker 1: these vaccines Like that is just absolutely fucked up. And
Speaker 1: I think the tone of it because we were actually
Speaker 1: discussing it, like uh, Daniel and Anna and I actually
Speaker 1: over the weekend because we're like reading that article that
Speaker 1: had a very weird tone about people who are like
Speaker 1: trying not to waste it. But it just seemed two
Speaker 1: more be like, look at these youngsters just fucking trying
Speaker 1: to get the vaccines or whatever, which I get on
Speaker 1: one hand, Yeah, like the like going somewhere to a
Speaker 1: community that already has a lack of resource to be
Speaker 1: like can I get your overflow? Uh? Is definitely not
Speaker 1: like the best look. But then you also like wish
Speaker 1: like why can't we have more? You know, like I
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people having trouble getting the
Speaker 1: vaccines to like to get to a place to get it.
Speaker 1: That in that same breath, like couldn't you have you know,
Speaker 1: like they're talking about having paramedics or ambulances be mobile,
Speaker 1: like vaccinators who will pull up to you and be like,
Speaker 1: here's your vaccine? Is that you boom boom boom to
Speaker 1: like help address you know, all the fucking holes that
Speaker 1: we have in the distribution plan. But yeah, it seems
Speaker 1: I mean failure. I feel like with the with the
Speaker 1: um you know, overflow lines, that is systemic failure. And
Speaker 1: just you know, this a system that is based on
Speaker 1: white supremacy and not paying attention to the distribution in
Speaker 1: communities that are primarily persons of color like that, that
Speaker 1: is just a symptom of that overall failure. The people
Speaker 1: who flew up to the tribal lands to steal those vaccines,
Speaker 1: uh face a nine dollar fine for doing that. So
Speaker 1: it's like there's just so many systemic like ways that
Speaker 1: the systemically we're kind of fucked. You know, understand what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like what we're finding out right now is
Speaker 1: who would push women and children out of the way
Speaker 1: to get into the lifeboats Titanic. Yeah, it's just like
Speaker 1: what you dress up as a woman or child to
Speaker 1: get on. Yeah, that's the Billy Zane character right now,
Speaker 1: trying to get into the lifeboats. But it is like
Speaker 1: you said, like, why can't we have a better rollout
Speaker 1: like I think now we will because there was a
Speaker 1: good op at a couple. I'm sure you guys maybe
Speaker 1: covered it, but there's a good op at a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago that like Biden's vaccine rollout plan is
Speaker 1: insanely obvious. Yeah, and it started, and it's saying that
Speaker 1: no one's tried it yet. And you know, at the
Speaker 1: same time, like like you know the optics of the century,
Speaker 1: are you know something that because because Miles is right,
Speaker 1: like those vaccines shouldn't go to waste, just figuring out
Speaker 1: a better way to give them out to people, that's you.
Speaker 1: And on top of that, in communities like that, access
Speaker 1: to a computer and ship like that is not the
Speaker 1: same as being like, okay, Santa Monica, here's the website
Speaker 1: sign up for vaccines. And another thing I just want
Speaker 1: to say to even listeners to if you know older
Speaker 1: people asked them if they need help getting a vaccine,
Speaker 1: because let me tell you that ship is some of
Speaker 1: these websites are fucking so backwards that even someone in
Speaker 1: their thirties, twenties, what ever, like this this is fucked up. Um.
Speaker 1: I like implore you to check on elderly people who
Speaker 1: are eligible too and offer to sign them up, because
Speaker 1: that's a whole other barrier to entry with this thing
Speaker 1: where it's like it we have to find a way
Speaker 1: to make it as easy as possible for everyone, because yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of times a're figuring out a lot of
Speaker 1: older people are like, oh I didn't know, or like
Speaker 1: I don't have a phone that does internet, or when
Speaker 1: I do, it's very sparse. So yeah, just uh, just
Speaker 1: another another sign that we all have to help each other,
Speaker 1: you know, when obviously the the official rollout isn't adequate enough. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean this is this is kind of a slippery slope,
Speaker 1: but this does seem like the sort of like not
Speaker 1: just a nine dollar fine being level like leveled up,
Speaker 1: so it's more. But this also feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: we need to have a a population going forward that
Speaker 1: is willing to think collectively as we're about to talk
Speaker 1: about with like the many parallels between COVID and climate change,
Speaker 1: and like the fact that these people are outing themselves
Speaker 1: like I feel like I don't know, at the very least,
Speaker 1: we should be using that as information for like how
Speaker 1: how to deal with those people going forward, and you know,
Speaker 1: how to not necessarily punish them but get them out
Speaker 1: of the way. Uh, you know, in terms of what
Speaker 1: what our plans are and how we're going to run
Speaker 1: as society, because right now they're just well, we'll talk
Speaker 1: later about this Florida attempt to get the Olympics this
Speaker 1: summer where this guy writes a letter to the Olympic Commission,
Speaker 1: and his first paragraph or second paragraph, he says, like
Speaker 1: I can put you in contact or make give you
Speaker 1: the right connections, help you make the right contact. It's
Speaker 1: like there's so much of the current economy and just
Speaker 1: like how the world works that's all based on like
Speaker 1: connections and rich people doing favors for other rich people,
Speaker 1: and like we really need a drastic shift in that ship. Um. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Because also, like our consumer culture is so based around
Speaker 1: like exclusivity and things like that and having the plug
Speaker 1: or having access that it's like it perverts all these
Speaker 1: other things too, like of just sort of like oh
Speaker 1: I could get that, like I can't get that. I
Speaker 1: can get that because I'm here or whatever. And that's
Speaker 1: that the mac the mentality of these people trying to
Speaker 1: get vaccines and and things like that. But also I
Speaker 1: wonder if it's just also just a bit of like
Speaker 1: just nihilism from these people who are like, fucking dude,
Speaker 1: it's it's fucked. And the only way I'm going to
Speaker 1: get through this is because I'm richer than everyone and
Speaker 1: that's just how I'm That's how I'm rolling now fuck it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, like like you mentioned with
Speaker 1: in some of the cases, it's like people trying to
Speaker 1: get it for their whole family, and like I can appreciate,
Speaker 1: you know, when you have a loved one who you're
Speaker 1: really trying to protect, But you know, the I still
Speaker 1: think that there is an apparently rotten set of ideals
Speaker 1: at the core of this, Like when you say consumer culture,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like, uh, you know, sneaker drops and
Speaker 1: ships like that, but that's at least a democratically like
Speaker 1: people who show up first get the first shoes or
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, but they but it's been perverted
Speaker 1: by bot. But I'm saying like it used to be.
Speaker 1: It's like anything you used to be like that, and
Speaker 1: now there are people who are perverting it, exploiting it,
Speaker 1: being like Okay, I have bots to get as extract
Speaker 1: as many sneak pairs of sneakers and then I flipped
Speaker 1: those blah blah blah, like because it's all this idea
Speaker 1: that there's, yes, there's one value to something and then
Speaker 1: there's a whole other value to it to someone else,
Speaker 1: like as a resell or something that's different or that
Speaker 1: I have access to and you just don't. They're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, like understanding, this is not a commodity. It's
Speaker 1: not a thing that is like, it's not a fucking
Speaker 1: Snickers bar or Jeff Coon's piece, Like this is a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a vaccine that's being provided by the
Speaker 1: government in a way that is actually kind of this
Speaker 1: is a point poison word, but socialist. It's just like
Speaker 1: this is for everybody. This is the people who need
Speaker 1: it first are going to get it, and you can't
Speaker 1: skip the lioness is this is in some ways extremely
Speaker 1: egalitary and although as Miles points out, of course it's
Speaker 1: not if you can't access the computer, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's this is this point to point distribution is
Speaker 1: not something that we're used to as um, you know,
Speaker 1: as people live in a capitalist society. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: have more money, so that means I'm better. So how
Speaker 1: come I don't get vaccine? I think it's vaccine I
Speaker 1: could get right, But I mean they these are a
Speaker 1: lot of the times, these are people who you know,
Speaker 1: they bought into that idea the most that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: when they didn't have all the Obviously a lot of
Speaker 1: these people are people who inherited their wealth, like America's
Speaker 1: as based on like inherit tensas any country in the world.
Speaker 1: And it's ridiculous that they have this or that we
Speaker 1: have this individualism ideal at the center of it and
Speaker 1: pull yourself up by your bootstraps because it's so much.
Speaker 1: But but rich people have a way of self reinforcing
Speaker 1: this idea that like they've earned it, they deserve it,
Speaker 1: because yeah, it's just very because it's reinforced and every
Speaker 1: other and every other way, you know. I got a
Speaker 1: text a couple of days ago from someone who you know,
Speaker 1: cares about me and my girlfriend and they were like,
Speaker 1: it was before the articles came out. It was the
Speaker 1: information about overflow lines that they had heard from a friend.
Speaker 1: It was word of mouth that was spreading and sort
Speaker 1: of the Western l A community that they could go
Speaker 1: get a shot. And they went and got a shot,
Speaker 1: and they were like, you should go do that. You
Speaker 1: should take a chair and sit out there at you know,
Speaker 1: go get a chair and sit out there at five
Speaker 1: am and and see if when it opens you can
Speaker 1: be first in line, and it just didn't sit right
Speaker 1: and so didn't do it. But but it was you know, people,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird. It's the radio sweepstakes, like we're
Speaker 1: gonna do hands on a hard body for this, uh
Speaker 1: covid veguan wherever whoever can keep their hands on the UH,
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this New York Times
Speaker 1: op ed from a client climate scientists, pointing out that
Speaker 1: we could use this as an opportunity, like the you know,
Speaker 1: global pandemic that we're all living through that is completely
Speaker 1: up ended what normal life was heading into the year. Um,
Speaker 1: we could use that to create a new normal. And
Speaker 1: basically we have to use that to create a new
Speaker 1: normal because what used to be our normal lives has
Speaker 1: been vastly disrupted and we need to rebuild our lives
Speaker 1: in a way that is going to avoid, you know,
Speaker 1: the global catastrophe that we're all headed for from climate change.
Speaker 1: But his op ed is very actionable and very much
Speaker 1: like and so we must do this to do and
Speaker 1: but another way to look at this was uh a
Speaker 1: test case of how willing as Americans we are too
Speaker 1: change our lives to accommodate the freedom and survival of others,
Speaker 1: and it's we've just been shockingly bad at it. Um.
Speaker 1: Like they talked about the first thing we have to
Speaker 1: do let go the idea that life will ever be
Speaker 1: normal again, And I mean, just look at the story
Speaker 1: we were just talking about, Like everybody is uh pushing
Speaker 1: each other out of the way to get the vaccine
Speaker 1: so they can go back to fucking spago or whatever. Um.
Speaker 1: And like I just don't think like all this op
Speaker 1: ed uh any analysis we give, Like there's there's just
Speaker 1: down to the core, down to the very dna of
Speaker 1: what America is and what the Western cultural ideals are
Speaker 1: uh is is rotten or is incompatible with the continued
Speaker 1: survival of the species. Like we're none of this will matter,
Speaker 1: Like if people can't be taught to value collectivism and
Speaker 1: you know you see it in pop culture. I was
Speaker 1: I was saying, like the Martian is like a fantasy
Speaker 1: where the global community kind of joins together on one
Speaker 1: specific mission. I'm reading this book the Three Body Problem
Speaker 1: that has like kind of a similar ish ideal or
Speaker 1: at least moments of that, and I think like we
Speaker 1: are fantasizing about that idea that we could be a
Speaker 1: more collectivist society. But like there, it's just I think
Speaker 1: we currently have to go to the realm of fantasy
Speaker 1: to even like approach that, because we're so far from
Speaker 1: it right now. Collectivism what is that some lord of
Speaker 1: the rings? Shoot, right, Yeah, it's just it is basically
Speaker 1: fantasy at this point. I mean, it's tough because this
Speaker 1: has been easier on some people than it has been
Speaker 1: on others, obviously, and you know, some of the industries
Speaker 1: that we've you know, that have been built over the
Speaker 1: last century rely on people using them, and the their
Speaker 1: survival now is predicated on the idea that this is
Speaker 1: somehow temporary and so, and we're gonna lose like a
Speaker 1: big I mean, the biggest issue of the election cycle
Speaker 1: after this next one is going to be what happens
Speaker 1: to jobs that are lost to automation, and you know,
Speaker 1: putting putting everybody into you know, domiciles and letting this
Speaker 1: life continue at nas M or or cycling through various
Speaker 1: things like it, it'll have an impact. And but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it does seem Gretta Tuomberg was saying the
Speaker 1: same thing, like, yeah, if we can do this for
Speaker 1: a pandemic, we should be able to do this for
Speaker 1: for for something else world threatening, but it's not like
Speaker 1: you know, just I know I'm worried here that I
Speaker 1: sound like a little conservative, but like the deaths from
Speaker 1: the like Mericoba counties numbers for overdoses came out yesterday
Speaker 1: and there were seven hundred more deaths from overdosers in
Speaker 1: the last the word and that's one county in Arizona.
Speaker 1: And like, you know, I'm not saying, you know, the
Speaker 1: Republican talking point is that this is worse than no
Speaker 1: lockdown and that's not true, but um, but an indefinite
Speaker 1: lockdown or the prospect of further lockdowns, like I can
Speaker 1: see that taking a real you know, and part of
Speaker 1: me also thinks that this is in responseable solution. This
Speaker 1: is a sledgehammer solution, a lockdown where where where we
Speaker 1: should be advanced enough as a species to take scalpel
Speaker 1: solutions to the problems like we should But you know,
Speaker 1: I know that's it's it's I feel like I sound
Speaker 1: like really unfunny right now, like this is not what
Speaker 1: what I but as I'm also a comedian, so I
Speaker 1: should I shouldn't be trusted and my job depends on
Speaker 1: people getting together in in large spaces, so I'm both
Speaker 1: biased and uninformed. But with that said, I uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: an interesting idea. Yeah, well, I think the despair deaths
Speaker 1: are obviously a phenomenon just across the country that we're
Speaker 1: not addressing in general, and like so much of that
Speaker 1: has to do with inequality and again the messages that
Speaker 1: are reinforced in people's minds of what success looks like
Speaker 1: or what it means to be happy or what you
Speaker 1: have to have. Um, And yeah, I mean it's just
Speaker 1: like that's why this whole thing is just such an
Speaker 1: omni crisis, like it this whole pandemic is just like
Speaker 1: it's it's just showing all of the things that we
Speaker 1: have to address urgently to try and bring some sense
Speaker 1: of equilibrium back to like this place. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's definitely trying. Yeah, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think it's I don't think there's a easy solution. I
Speaker 1: also I'm not suggesting like we change reality so that
Speaker 1: like people don't like getting together in groups or anything
Speaker 1: like that. But um, just that just at a very
Speaker 1: basic level, this central myth of americanism that that it's
Speaker 1: all pull yourself up by your bootstraps, can't accept help,
Speaker 1: you know, rewriting successful people stories to cut out all
Speaker 1: the incredible amounts of help that they got from their
Speaker 1: families and from uh the business partners that they cut
Speaker 1: out of these deals. Like that that stuff is all poisonous,
Speaker 1: and I feel like needs to more and more be
Speaker 1: viewed as such. And we need to like rewrite some
Speaker 1: of this history and some of our pop culture so
Speaker 1: that we acknowledge, uh that that is a myth and
Speaker 1: that we need each other and we need to have
Speaker 1: like a more of a collectivist mentality if we're gonna
Speaker 1: uh continue on. And like, I think there are creative
Speaker 1: solutions to a lot of the problems that people treat
Speaker 1: as intractable, with both um, the pandemic and with fossil
Speaker 1: fuels that like, well, if when we put our mind
Speaker 1: to it, like I I do think we can come
Speaker 1: together and like act in a way that is beneficial
Speaker 1: to the species as a whole. I just think that
Speaker 1: there is this poisonous myth that is keeps pulling us,
Speaker 1: like it's like this gravitational pool of the American founding
Speaker 1: myth that really keeps fucking things up. I do believe that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, is it is it too storry I
Speaker 1: to think that we'll figure it out, Like like I
Speaker 1: I do think that well eventually transition completely out of
Speaker 1: away from fossil fuels, Like I think we will, you know,
Speaker 1: eventually figure out a way to like put more oxygen
Speaker 1: back instead of taking instead of taking it out and
Speaker 1: and uh in terms of like carbon seck question and
Speaker 1: things like that, like environmental science is really complicated, but
Speaker 1: it's also becoming more and more popular as a field
Speaker 1: and people are spending more and more time in it.
Speaker 1: But but but yeah, obviously the problem is now. So
Speaker 1: the question is what are we what are we doing
Speaker 1: about it now? But I also think it's interesting to
Speaker 1: think about how we're going to come out of this
Speaker 1: pandemic because some people are like, oh, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: the Roaring twenties and people are gonna fucking go to
Speaker 1: nightclubs every night. And I think what actually is gonna
Speaker 1: happen is that people who used to do it every night,
Speaker 1: now we'll be comfortable doing it. Like you don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone now who was a season ticket holder
Speaker 1: to a Major League baseball team feels like they need
Speaker 1: to go to every game. Him, I think, I see.
Speaker 1: I think ticket holders are like, we could go to
Speaker 1: three Braves games a year, and or we could go
Speaker 1: you know, if we're a fan of the Mets, we
Speaker 1: can or the Pirates we can go to one game
Speaker 1: a year. But like it's the it's really we'll see how.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens after this, whether or not like
Speaker 1: everyone's exploding into vacations or if people are like, you
Speaker 1: know what, a trip to the supermarket is enough for me,
Speaker 1: So like, let's see how people's behavior changes. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: of changes, let's let's talk about this Florida CFO real quick. Um.
Speaker 1: He reached out to the president of the Olympic Committee,
Speaker 1: I guess, and is offering up the Sunshine State as
Speaker 1: just a new location if Tokyo keeps fucking around with this, uh,
Speaker 1: we're too scared of the pandemic thing. This letter is
Speaker 1: the most Florida like agro capitalist fucking ship. It's so
Speaker 1: weird this guy. First of yeah, like you're saying CFO
Speaker 1: of the state of Florida, I guess, so, Yeah, Jimmy
Speaker 1: patronis who sounds like a Molly at Arts. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: his whole vibe. It's like his whole fucking perfect Hey,
Speaker 1: go to Jimmy Patronis he's got then he's the plug. Um,
Speaker 1: he wrote this letter is so wild because it's like
Speaker 1: it's full of fantastic just you know, let's ignore the
Speaker 1: pandemic takes and also just dunking on people. So yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're saying, Jack. In the beginning, he was talking
Speaker 1: about how, you know, with media reports of leaders in
Speaker 1: Japan privately concluding that they are too concerned about the
Speaker 1: pandemic for the Olympics to take place, there is still
Speaker 1: time to deploy a site selection team to Florida to
Speaker 1: meet with state. What Okay, we get it. You want
Speaker 1: that Japan is to pussy about the pandemic to have it.
Speaker 1: Apparently it was amazing him that he was able to
Speaker 1: type that while making the jerk off hand motion he
Speaker 1: was clearly making while while typing it. You know, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: the ghost is in the ink. You can see it
Speaker 1: right there. Um, and then goes on to say just
Speaker 1: to be like, you know, de Santis is like this
Speaker 1: is the letter, goes on quote when most of the
Speaker 1: major states were shutting down their economies. We were fortunate
Speaker 1: enough to have a governor that recognized the important balance
Speaker 1: of fighting the virus with keeping the economy open. Moreover,
Speaker 1: Governor de Santis has partnered with private blah blah blah blah. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: you had tipped to Rhonda Santis, who's absolutely whatever. Um.
Speaker 1: They keep going to talk about how Florida has been
Speaker 1: fine for other things to state of Florida has successfully
Speaker 1: allowed sports to take place like the NBA. Additionally, our
Speaker 1: international tourist destinations like Disney Parks have been open and
Speaker 1: operating safely in Florida for some time. In fact, Disney
Speaker 1: serves as an incredible model for how to run a
Speaker 1: complex organization. In the midst of COVID nineteen false we've
Speaker 1: talked about how much of a ship show that play
Speaker 1: says there's no mass compliance there photo shopping masks on
Speaker 1: people on splash mountain photos because they don't want it
Speaker 1: to get out that the place is not really doing
Speaker 1: that great in terms of safety, and like the NBA,
Speaker 1: like that's these aren't one to one comparisons. My man,
Speaker 1: that was a fucking bubble where there weren't even fans.
Speaker 1: So what are you positing that it will be a
Speaker 1: bub like the state will fucking cut itself off? I
Speaker 1: mean I would I have no problem with that, but uh,
Speaker 1: what is the exact logic here of being able to
Speaker 1: have the Olympics in the United States? It's not just Florida,
Speaker 1: it's technically we're in the United States where we are
Speaker 1: not doing well with this pandemic at all. So Jimmy, please,
Speaker 1: but you know, please contact my office five schedule meeting.
Speaker 1: Come on, Jimmy, really think that's what they're The I
Speaker 1: O C is gonna be like, hey, he's got a

Speaker 1: And listen, I am launching a rival bid. I want
Speaker 1: Boston to host the Summer Olympics. I want the marathon
Speaker 1: to go from Fenway Park. We have a Boston Marathon.
Speaker 1: Of course, we have it already set up. We don't
Speaker 1: know why you're doing this. Uh, Frankly, Boston is way
Speaker 1: better suited to host the Olympics. Please call me a
Speaker 1: discuss my phone of our six months having happy to
Speaker 1: argue about it. And listen, I've got the plug all right,
Speaker 1: but he's he won't. But but I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: insane that, first of all, I am one of these
Speaker 1: people that believe that the Olympics works when um, uh
Speaker 1: you know, oh yeah, by the way, please bleep my number.
Speaker 1: Uh I'm not javitaronas I don't want people having my
Speaker 1: phone number. But I uh, like, the Olympics can be great.
Speaker 1: It was great for l A, it was you know,
Speaker 1: it was bad for it was. It was bad for
Speaker 1: Sara Jevo, it was, it was. It was good for Barcelona,
Speaker 1: it was good for London, it was bad for Sydney.
Speaker 1: Like the Olympics is a site specific thing. It's a
Speaker 1: huge infrastructural challenge. And part of the complex pitching process
Speaker 1: for the Olympics is trying to promise the Olympics. The Olympics.
Speaker 1: I see that, Hey, you're not just gonna bulldoze a
Speaker 1: bunch of homeless shelters and put up a stadium, and
Speaker 1: so like, you can't just be like, hey, why don't
Speaker 1: you have the Olympics. It doesn't fucking work that way.
Speaker 1: They've got a ton of facilities, man ton of facilities,
Speaker 1: and they I do feel like one of the things
Speaker 1: they brag about is being able to just like put
Speaker 1: up these huge facilities and arenas on like within a year.
Speaker 1: Like there's no healthy way to do that for your
Speaker 1: community unless you already have all the infrastructure. Uh Like
Speaker 1: l A obviously already has a bunch of really uh
Speaker 1: beautiful waterways that they'll be holding the Olympic events at
Speaker 1: the l A River. I can already picture the kayaking
Speaker 1: the kayak races in the l A River. That'll be cool. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: l A is complicated, a for is the only like
Speaker 1: the model for good Olympics. But I mean, right now,
Speaker 1: the no Olympics campaign here's pretty strong. So yeah, yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and when we come back,
Speaker 1: we will talk about sliceable hot sauce. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and uh, they were still marveling at the name Jimmy
Speaker 1: patronis the fact that he's the state fire Marshal and CFO.
Speaker 1: That sounds like CFO was just tacked on there. Can
Speaker 1: you buy these jobs or something or make them up.
Speaker 1: I'm also marking the panhandle, the state mascot marking the panhand.
Speaker 1: I do everything around here. I'm the groundskeeper in Everglades
Speaker 1: National Park, southern southern corner I'm the uh, I'm a
Speaker 1: bridge repair man from Key Biscayne to Key West, like
Speaker 1: Jimmy patronis my business cardage full everything? You know, It's
Speaker 1: just the equivalent of being the controller other states, like
Speaker 1: we call it a control. I think that's just what
Speaker 1: they're just being real corporate about, like the CFO giving
Speaker 1: it that rather than calling get the state controller. Just
Speaker 1: imagine they're like, hey, we had a pretty good Olympics. Guys,
Speaker 1: we lost three triathletes to crocodiles during I'm sorry, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry from here. Yeah, it's an insane insane too,
Speaker 1: but hey, look at Florida Olympics. Is not a bad
Speaker 1: is not a bad idea, but just not Also, Japan,
Speaker 1: let them have this. They've been they've been nailing the Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I don't know nailing. I think I just in general,
Speaker 1: like until you can guarantee safety for all, Like why
Speaker 1: are we talking about this? That's just that's the really conversation.
Speaker 1: Should you know what shutdown? Like, as someone who went
Speaker 1: to the Olympics in shut it down, like just have
Speaker 1: bubble competitions because frankly, most of the events are empty
Speaker 1: because the tickets go to corporate sponsors. So you'll be
Speaker 1: at a figure skating event that's sold out and tickets
Speaker 1: are going for you know, hundreds of dollars on the street,
Speaker 1: and the events empty because the actual tickets are sitting
Speaker 1: on the desk of some middle manager at Goodyear in Detroit.
Speaker 1: Like it's just they don't have it. It's not a
Speaker 1: spectator friendly event anyhow. Like I wonder if that's also
Speaker 1: what's happening with the vaccine is all the vaccines are
Speaker 1: sitting on the desk of some middle manager and good Year,
Speaker 1: it's like, you need to get corporate sponsorship. Bro, come on, hey,
Speaker 1: what are all those vials? Ah shit, I was supposed
Speaker 1: to use the um let's talk about a couple of
Speaker 1: the spoils of capitalism. We have a fruit leather version
Speaker 1: of version of hot sauce, sliceable hot Sauce. That was
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's it's growth has been accelerated because
Speaker 1: it appeared on Shark Tank. Uh. Guest star Alex Rodriguez
Speaker 1: bought into the concept with a two hundred thousand dollar investment,
Speaker 1: So yeah, get ready to never see this ever. Well,
Speaker 1: it started like it was. It was a kickstarter for
Speaker 1: Catchup slices and people are like, oh, this is interesting first,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I don't want a condiment that
Speaker 1: like I chew through. That's not anyway. So the newest
Speaker 1: development is because Alex Rodriguez came through with the two K.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, well now we're going we're collaborating with
Speaker 1: name Brain Name Name brand hot sauces. So now they're
Speaker 1: offering Frank's Red Hot Original Cayenne and Secret art Vark
Speaker 1: Haban Naro hot Sauce as uh their new slices. Now
Speaker 1: what you get is an eight slice pack for five
Speaker 1: nine And to that, I say, fuck no, goodbye. Get
Speaker 1: hot sauces hot sauce in small amounts. It's free. I
Speaker 1: what I don't pay for a condiment. I won't do
Speaker 1: it A dried out version that's cheese slices for sick.
Speaker 1: You can buy the bottled ship. I don't understand what
Speaker 1: the advantage is at this point. What do you think
Speaker 1: that I am made of money? Do you see me
Speaker 1: chartering a plane to the Yukon to cheating people out
Speaker 1: of vaccines? No, I'm not spending that money on hot sauce,
Speaker 1: fruit leather. Yeah, you go to you go to any
Speaker 1: place and grab handfuls and put them in your pockets. Yes,
Speaker 1: another way people are spending their money that I wanted
Speaker 1: to highlight is Budweiser. So, oh, can I just say
Speaker 1: one thing. You just have to have my anti Frank's
Speaker 1: screed really quick, because I do not like Frank's hot sauce.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's hot sauce. I think it's this
Speaker 1: weird wing sauce that people call hot sauce, and I
Speaker 1: think it's just it's it's not like a hot sauce,
Speaker 1: you know, like a Tabasco was a hot sauce. To me,
Speaker 1: Crystal is a fucking hot sauce. But Frank's is just
Speaker 1: this abomination. It's not it's not doing what it's supposed to.
Speaker 1: It's like when Lil Wayne tried to play guitar, like
Speaker 1: it ain't. I see what you're doing, But no little
Speaker 1: body wanted this or needed this. The only thing I
Speaker 1: know about hot sauce is that Hillary Clinton carries a
Speaker 1: bottle in her bag. So that's the claims to everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know I was making I was making fun. Uh. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Super Bowl commercials real quick, because it
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of companies, UH don't really know
Speaker 1: how to super Bowl commercial this year. Um. There are
Speaker 1: companies that are deciding not to buy Super Bowl ads,
Speaker 1: like Budweiser, um because it costs more than five million
Speaker 1: dollars for a thirty seconds slot. Um. And people are worried.
Speaker 1: If they're funny, it may seem insensitive. If they're somber
Speaker 1: and reflective, they might depress people. And you know, you
Speaker 1: don't want to hire Jeff Goldbloom to dress up like
Speaker 1: his character from Independence Day to sell life insurance for nothing. Um. So.
Speaker 1: Earlier this month, Coca Cola announced that they would not
Speaker 1: be buying an add in the Super Bowl, claiming they
Speaker 1: would instead quote ensure we are investing in the right
Speaker 1: resources during these unprecedented times, which is I think the
Speaker 1: vaguest corporate statement ever made. Uh, ensure we're investing in
Speaker 1: the right resources during these unprecedented times. I think you're
Speaker 1: coming out being like, Yo, the NFL is like a
Speaker 1: modern plantation where that it's just built on a pile
Speaker 1: of discarded bodies who break themselves for very little support.
Speaker 1: After retirement and becas of that we were no longer
Speaker 1: buying ads. Then I get it. Yeah, I I wish
Speaker 1: it was one radical conglomerate. I wish it was one
Speaker 1: just one company that made hand soap or something like that,
Speaker 1: and it was just like I wish it was a
Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's but huge, Like I wish Ben and
Speaker 1: Jerry's wasn't just partially owned by Unilever, and Unilever every
Speaker 1: single day was like just so you know, we're for
Speaker 1: killing all firefighters and you're like, what why And they're like,
Speaker 1: we're the radical conglomerate and we have to surprise people
Speaker 1: and this is what we do. But I've written some
Speaker 1: super Bowl ads, um yeah, and they're they're fun and
Speaker 1: the it's the one time as like copywriters, they're just like, hey,
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, Like it's an unlimited budget, Like
Speaker 1: we could get William Hurt if you need. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. He's the example of a star. IM thinking
Speaker 1: third third third builds star of broadcast news William Hurt,
Speaker 1: But I think yeah, I mean I it seems like
Speaker 1: a bad guy, but I yea horrible man. But I
Speaker 1: do think that, um that like doing it this year,
Speaker 1: you don't know the dollar value of what the super
Speaker 1: Bowl is gonna be, Like that's really the reason that
Speaker 1: companies won't be buying super Bowl as because they don't
Speaker 1: know what they're getting. And usually the things that people
Speaker 1: try to sell during the Super Bowl they sell you know,
Speaker 1: these are these are money items people, things that people
Speaker 1: spend money on. People spend their disposable income on the
Speaker 1: items that are advertised during Super Bowl. They buy be
Speaker 1: or they buy cereal, they buy peanuts, they buy you know,
Speaker 1: fucking you know in insurance and different kinds or domain
Speaker 1: names and things like that, CoCom PEPSI. And now it's
Speaker 1: hard to know what people are spending the where people
Speaker 1: are gonna be spending their disposable income this next year.
Speaker 1: It's hard to know what the marketing value is. So
Speaker 1: like I'm not I'm not surprised that one miscalculation I
Speaker 1: think is that people are saying part of a calculus
Speaker 1: that went into not buying is uh that people, uh,
Speaker 1: these brands were worried the super Bowl might not happen
Speaker 1: because there could be a surgeon in COVID right before it.
Speaker 1: That's not going to stop the super Bowl, you know,
Speaker 1: like that that's what they're they're gonna you mean, in COVID,
Speaker 1: Like the last five months. What do you think is
Speaker 1: uh Tom Brady. Tom Brady could be what could be
Speaker 1: sneezing in everyone's face the day of the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, yeah, I mean he has COVID,
Speaker 1: but he's still playing like super Bowl. I mean his
Speaker 1: parents have it currently. I mean when the Dodgers one,
Speaker 1: Justin Turner tested positive and he was running out there celebrating,
Speaker 1: and we very quickly were like a you know, yeah one. Uh.
Speaker 1: Coca Cola so Coke announced they weren't going to be
Speaker 1: doing uh the Super Bowl. Pepsi like that, now there's
Speaker 1: this arms race to not be doing Super Bowl ads. Uh.
Speaker 1: Pepsi was like, we won't be advertising at the Super
Speaker 1: puper Bowl. Uh. They accept uh Mountain dew, a bunch
Speaker 1: of Pepsi on snacks, or are running commercials during the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Uh. And Pepsi the beverage. Pepsi is the
Speaker 1: sponsor of the halftime show. Uh. And they're so committed
Speaker 1: to the halftime show that they claimed even if the
Speaker 1: game was canceled, there would still be a halftime show.
Speaker 1: And they believe people halftime the weekend. Okay, um, right,
Speaker 1: that's not not not yeah not always the right Yeah,
Speaker 1: he seems like a very uh niche performer for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I guess that Blinding Light song was
Speaker 1: big hit. Um. But personally, now Budweiser is claiming, Uh,
Speaker 1: they're making headlines for pulling their ads from the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl for the first time since three Uh. In stead,
Speaker 1: they've pledged to donate the money they would have spent
Speaker 1: on the ad to coronavirus vaccination efforts. Uh. Sounds great. Uh,
Speaker 1: except they're still buying four minutes worth of ads for
Speaker 1: their other products during the Super Bowl. So uh, their
Speaker 1: vaccine awareness less important than letting people know about the cool,
Speaker 1: refreshing taste of bud Light selter Lemonade. Um. But they're
Speaker 1: actually also paying money to advertise the fact that they're
Speaker 1: not advertising during the Super Bowl. Uh. They made one
Speaker 1: of those pandemic themed soft piano music ads uh where
Speaker 1: and they specifically like called out starting Monday, the brand
Speaker 1: will Aaron add that celebrates resilience during the pandemic, including
Speaker 1: a socially distanced birthday parade and athletes and Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter Jersey. So, in other words, like literally every ad
Speaker 1: that has come out since I'm so tired. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: so tired of this ship, Jack, make it stop? Why
Speaker 1: why can't we That's been a big despair factor at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic. All these ads were so
Speaker 1: people were there was a blissful quiet from advertisers at
Speaker 1: the beginning of this pandemic, and it lasted three months,
Speaker 1: three months and now and then after that they were like,
Speaker 1: you might as well get it at all of Garden.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like you're gonna get sick, get sick here,
Speaker 1: you know, like get sick with I'm so tired of
Speaker 1: the And also while we pretend to be part of
Speaker 1: the solution by highlighting the efforts of people who are
Speaker 1: actually doing selfless work, uh and basically corpora tize that
Speaker 1: and like devalue that, so that somehow, like the acts
Speaker 1: of the first responders and the front line workers are
Speaker 1: are cheapened by by our goal of selling you all
Speaker 1: of Garden. There's a soft service room shop in Monterey
Speaker 1: Park that we that me and my girlfriend love. It's
Speaker 1: called Big Softie and they are shut and I called.
Speaker 1: I was like, why you know that, Like they're not
Speaker 1: even doing take out And I was like, I'm just cureus.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like why are you shut I was just
Speaker 1: hoping that no one died, Like I was just hoping
Speaker 1: that there wasn't like an outright because we go there,
Speaker 1: you know once every two weeks. It's tiny, it's you know, owned,
Speaker 1: it's owned and run by the same page. It's really small,
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, we just we can't justify
Speaker 1: the cost of staying open, not financially, but just like
Speaker 1: if anyone gets sick, and so they're like, we're shutting
Speaker 1: down our Instagram, we're shutting down like they're they're they're
Speaker 1: just like they've stopped everything. They're like, we'll be back
Speaker 1: when things get better. And it really I really would
Speaker 1: appreciate if one company didn't do a super Bowl ad
Speaker 1: and didn't tell me that they weren't going to do
Speaker 1: super Bowl ad. It'd just be nice if they were
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, we that I need a press release,
Speaker 1: explain why, but wise there's not doing it. I don't
Speaker 1: need it. Just just stop, but not just a press
Speaker 1: release an entire ad campaign. No. I think this is
Speaker 1: part of like sort of like that op ed right
Speaker 1: about collectivism and how do we shift to cultures like
Speaker 1: right now we pat people like we we love elevating
Speaker 1: like the singular hero or like this influencer or whatever,
Speaker 1: and until we like really change, like what are who
Speaker 1: are heroes are to people who work together, who aren't
Speaker 1: interested in glory for themselves, who are selfless like that
Speaker 1: will slowly seep into like this corporate world where they're like,
Speaker 1: see we we also our CEO also took like half
Speaker 1: the salary to make sure that workers would stay employed
Speaker 1: through a pandemic. See we did that. Here's a press
Speaker 1: release and we actually did it. Like you almost have to.
Speaker 1: You have to rig that game too for these people
Speaker 1: because like they clearly over the summer and pandemic, Like,
Speaker 1: see we we heard about white supremacy. Will do one
Speaker 1: at about that, and we will pretend to give a funk,
Speaker 1: will only pret end, but at least we started to
Speaker 1: talk about that. I'm like, it's it's like you have
Speaker 1: to begin to pull the momentum somewhere in another direction
Speaker 1: where I could really see like this rat like your
Speaker 1: idea of a radical company alex as one that's like
Speaker 1: this corporate entity. That's like if we just get out
Speaker 1: there and we're like the Bernie Sanders of corporations, like
Speaker 1: we're gonna be fucking killing it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and cynical, but you can't fake that ship. You can't
Speaker 1: fake it. Like I hate to be super white guy,
Speaker 1: but David Foster Wallace said, he's like advertising can never
Speaker 1: be art because it's not a gift in any way.
Speaker 1: It always like demands some ship from you, and like
Speaker 1: there's a psychic cost to watching it. And add there's
Speaker 1: a reason you have to sit through an ad before
Speaker 1: you get your free YouTube video because it sucks because
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit away from your day. It's
Speaker 1: an assault. Ads are an assault on you. I know it.
Speaker 1: Used to write them. They're awful. I still I still
Speaker 1: write them. I have anyone needs copyrighting work. There's like
Speaker 1: on my website, but are truly gotta get that money.
Speaker 1: But ads are truly awful. They are really, really tough,
Speaker 1: and in this time doing them is really irresponsible making
Speaker 1: people sit through them, Like yeah, it's just it's it's
Speaker 1: straw on the camel's back right now, So making people
Speaker 1: sit through them to watch the news, it's like yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, we still have advertiser supported news and that's
Speaker 1: um anyways, by our great products that will come through
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about diarrhea, shooting on your friends, nudass.
Speaker 1: The little search history after this is going to be
Speaker 1: very different. One additional detail is that so they're you know,
Speaker 1: it's about buying up I think four minutes of ad
Speaker 1: time for their other products. They are claiming that they're
Speaker 1: donating the money they would be spending on Budweiser ads
Speaker 1: to vaccine education. They actually are investing one million dollars.
Speaker 1: The ads cost five point two million dollars. They're fucking nothing.
Speaker 1: One million dollars. Yeah, it's what it was like when
Speaker 1: the idea of man, these super Bowl ads are expensive
Speaker 1: got famous back in like the eighties, and they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what people probably assume is how much a super
Speaker 1: Bowl ad costs. So they're doing one million dollars. That's
Speaker 1: the profit that an advertising company takes home from making
Speaker 1: the apps, right, one million dollars one point three one
Speaker 1: point two million dollars is what you know, I advertise
Speaker 1: a good advertising company would would take home for That's
Speaker 1: not that's that's that's zero dollars. That's a line item.
Speaker 1: That's a rounding error in a who's donating that comes
Speaker 1: out in the wash comes out in the wash comes out.
Speaker 1: What are you kidding me? That's oh god, the I
Speaker 1: mean it makes sense that because this is definitely something
Speaker 1: that was pitched to them by an advertising agency. Uh,
Speaker 1: this whole campaign around their decision not to advertise. Uh.
Speaker 1: You can almost picture a day drunk Don Draper coming
Speaker 1: up with the idea and everyone being like, brilliant, brilliant. Um, Alex,
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure as always having you on the DAILYSI, guys,
