Speaker 1: That is, if you don't recognize that, what's wrong with y'all?
Speaker 1: It is from the scene and Demolition Man where they're
Speaker 1: driving in the car and Sandy Bullock and her partner like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's my favorite song and it's just a commercial ginger
Speaker 1: jingle talks you know that movie and then and then
Speaker 1: it's of course followed by scaloonbian so put me back
Speaker 1: in the freezer. That's one of those movies that I
Speaker 1: feel like would be if they had a different, different
Speaker 1: actor in that in that main role. I feel like
Speaker 1: we would view that movie a lot differently. Better hold on,
Speaker 1: before I even do it, would you like you're saying
Speaker 1: Stalone is taking away from Demolition Man or he's additive. Uh,
Speaker 1: just different? Like I think, let's let's not start the show.

Speaker 1: we bring the guests in, but please let me do
Speaker 1: my AK Alright, I'm through by my co host, Mr
Speaker 1: Miles Gras. Oh oh shit. Well, the devil went down
Speaker 1: to Georgia. He was looking for some folks to steal.
Speaker 1: He was in a bind, he was way behind, and
Speaker 1: all his indictments were looking real. Anyway, that's a shout
Speaker 1: out to the coked out devils that went down to Georgia.
Speaker 1: Let me just play this real quick. When you're at
Speaker 1: a disadvantage, you don't take your ball and go home.
Speaker 1: You get out there and you fight harder. Um. Yeah, sure. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So all the devils are down there in Georgia. I mean,
Speaker 1: as of now, we don't know the results of the
Speaker 1: Senate run off, but let's hope that that backfired for them. Wow,
Speaker 1: that was Donald Trump Jr. Yeah, that was just just
Speaker 1: summoning the power of the fucking Bolivian foothills in his voice.
Speaker 1: Every appearance by him is like sponsored content for whoever
Speaker 1: his coke dealer is, because that ship is Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got the pier. He's like, look I can yeah, I
Speaker 1: can have his stepped on, or I can get you
Speaker 1: that don Junior scream fueling. You gotta sign up. You
Speaker 1: gotta sign a waiver that if your heart explodes, I'm
Speaker 1: not responsible. Also, that was from KFC Korean Fried Chicken
Speaker 1: on the discord, shout out to you. We are thrilled
Speaker 1: to be joined in our third seat by the brilliant
Speaker 1: and talented Jabari Ali David Oco. Welcome, Thank you, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Thank you now that my gums are itching from that,
Speaker 1: if you will, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jari. Good to have
Speaker 1: you on. Yeah, it's great to have you. Know, it's
Speaker 1: always another person who I interact with on Twitter. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why don't why don't Jabari come on? I want to talk.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna why are we talking? Man, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: completely honest with you. I am truly a member of
Speaker 1: your sight gang. So this is an arm oh man?
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, then I posit this question to you, Jabari,
Speaker 1: what of Jack's take on Demolition Man is stallone? Wait?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, so wait, I'm just curious. What were you
Speaker 1: trying to say. You're saying people looked at Demolition Man
Speaker 1: as a stallone film, so they were just a problem.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a big stallone head, Rocky Rambo, like
Speaker 1: just all of it from the eighties. I feel like
Speaker 1: that movie is it got so much right about the future.
Speaker 1: It got a lot right about where we were headed.
Speaker 1: I'm getting choked up just talking about it. Uh, but
Speaker 1: it's I just think it would be viewed like it
Speaker 1: would be studied more in film classes if it didn't
Speaker 1: have your supprester stallone as as Okay, but let's who
Speaker 1: could have who could we have swapped out to get
Speaker 1: people to take demolition at least in retrospect seriously, if
Speaker 1: it's not him, who was around that time? Bruce Willis? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: although I don't even know, Like, yeah, Bruce Willis would
Speaker 1: be the just like easy swap in and probably gets
Speaker 1: less uh, you know, immediately taken away from it, just
Speaker 1: in terms of like national reception, but or global reception,
Speaker 1: I guess, But you know, like I hear some Ford
Speaker 1: and like a Blade Runner esque turn could have could
Speaker 1: have made. So if we're looking at highest grossing actors
Speaker 1: from the nineties, right, so that's just a loane his
Speaker 1: number eight, but like in the one through seven is
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Arnold Harrison Ford, and
Speaker 1: Michelle Peiffer, Kevin Costner. Gibson's yeah, but then it have
Speaker 1: been like, now we can't talk about this trash as movie,
Speaker 1: but are are problematic nineties takes? Right? Like he's like, um, anyways,
Speaker 1: I read from Mel Gibson, is the point of that
Speaker 1: is demolition Man of Batman movie? That's the question. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: so it's like, whoa, it's a trangzing thing that people
Speaker 1: have been saying for you, saying for years or something.
Speaker 1: You have your Joker Batman, you know, kind of dynamics
Speaker 1: and there they're a lot apparently was there. I love it,
Speaker 1: except Simon Phoenix is a style icon. And if there's
Speaker 1: one thing we need, it's more Batman movies. I would say. So,
Speaker 1: I think I think we should just retro. Someone needs
Speaker 1: to remake it as a Batman movie. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I remember wanting like a blonde flat top like Simon Phoenix,
Speaker 1: but my mixed hair could not get the curls tight
Speaker 1: enough to get that hype. I could just get like
Speaker 1: Vera Gile curls, you know what I mean. I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: I I can't rock that, Simon Phoenix. I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real with you. I had the flat top, I
Speaker 1: didn't have the goods. I didn't have a balls to God,
Speaker 1: you have to go forward a meteor man with it,
Speaker 1: yet couldn't do it. Yeah, all right, Barry, We're going
Speaker 1: to get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of things we're talking about up top. We just like
Speaker 1: to check in with where we're at globally with COVID. UH.
Speaker 1: There were startlingly four new COVID cases in New Zealand yesterday,
Speaker 1: still zero desks in late September, and in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: where where we are one in four people have the disease.
Speaker 1: Ambulance operators have been instructed not to transport people who
Speaker 1: they don't think are going to survive the hospitals. Hospitals
Speaker 1: are adding freezers to store bodies and not the vaccine. Uh.
Speaker 1: And most of the physicians I know who work outside
Speaker 1: of the emergency medicine field are being taken off of
Speaker 1: non COVID related problems to focus on COVID. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then I just know people who are like leaving l
Speaker 1: A because if they had a heart attack, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to like get care. If my kid fell
Speaker 1: and broke his arm, like, I don't know what i'd do,
Speaker 1: like the call Uncle Miles over. Yeah, but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: truly like that. The load management of our hospitals UH
Speaker 1: is not something I think, you know, it's Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: in that place where in the darkness has descended on
Speaker 1: the city. It's the wuhan that we saw when it
Speaker 1: for when there was first an outbreak in China. And
Speaker 1: it's just, um, it's inexcusable that it's like a slow motion.
Speaker 1: We saw that it was reported on, we knew what
Speaker 1: had to be done to avoid that. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: think the main thing that we've learned is how just
Speaker 1: like inexcusably indifferent to the death and suffering of its
Speaker 1: own people, America is as a as a culture. Um.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about We're gonna talk about vaccines.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the two thousand dollar checks, whether
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's on board. We're gonna talk about conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: around the vaccine um, because there's there's some interesting detail there.
Speaker 1: We'll talk briefly about that Georgia just shout fest where
Speaker 1: Trump called Kelly Leffler Karen accidentally. Uh. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: people fleeing cities. Uh. And finally, of course, most importantly,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about what missed or bean thinks about cancel culture. Uh.
Speaker 1: He waited all that plenty more. But first, Jabari, we
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing about who you are? All Right? So,
Speaker 1: the literal last thing that I searched was the release
Speaker 1: for House of Dragons. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: were you know, Thrones fans. Yes, of course you know
Speaker 1: it's coming out two. Um. I'm finally over the pain
Speaker 1: of that final run of Thrones. Um. Admittedly this is
Speaker 1: coming from one of those one of those folks that
Speaker 1: pretty indignantly complained about the showrunners as though they somehow
Speaker 1: dishonored my family and disrespected my ancestors by any during
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I was. I was all the way there,
Speaker 1: you know, as though, you know, as though I've personally
Speaker 1: done or pulled off anything anywhere near as great as
Speaker 1: those to do. But yeah, I think it's going to
Speaker 1: end up being a you know, a good backstory for
Speaker 1: the Targarian family. And I've officially nerded out right away. Okay.
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not from Bennie off and White
Speaker 1: says it or is it is not right? They're they
Speaker 1: would be good busy fucking up The Three Body Problem,
Speaker 1: which is a sci fi novel that I just read
Speaker 1: over the break that's pretty dope. Um oh they're doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're doing it. That's their next big project. And I
Speaker 1: feel like I keep reading them doing all kinds of ship,
Speaker 1: but I don't know which one is the one that
Speaker 1: is actually going to arrive at our eyes first, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did. They officially scrapped that. Uh you know what
Speaker 1: if the South had one? Yeah, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: one of them is like, is this not the right
Speaker 1: time right now? It's not the right time right now.
Speaker 1: They're like they're they're like they're keeping for their idea
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, are like, but like it's good. You know,
Speaker 1: I get people are piste off, but like if they
Speaker 1: just saw the first season whatever, whatever. They have good
Speaker 1: tastes on other people's novels though, for sure. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: so House of Dragon Targarian origin story going to be
Speaker 1: a pretty cool Do we have much experience with prequel
Speaker 1: TV shows? I guess Better Call Saul, which turned out
Speaker 1: to be really good. Um, even though I haven't watched it,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's so good. If you if you
Speaker 1: liked Breaking Bad, you're doing yourself a tremendous disservice to
Speaker 1: not watch Better Call Saul. Absolutely, yeah, sometimes folks will say,
Speaker 1: you know, it's better than but but the reality is
Speaker 1: it's just different. But in my honest estimation, it's it's
Speaker 1: every bit as great, just you know, just completely you know,
Speaker 1: just a different vibe. Yeah, the stakes are different, but yeah,
Speaker 1: learning the you know, the depths that we will go,
Speaker 1: you know, just to seek you know, glory or just
Speaker 1: being petty and trying to smite our enemies. It's just
Speaker 1: such a relatable story. Uh, finally watched Dave over the Break.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're your speculation that they're like, no,
Speaker 1: it's not the right time, but we we really have
Speaker 1: a good a good message behind. This reminded me of
Speaker 1: the last episode of Dave. But that show was pretty funny. Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought you're talking about the Kevin Klein film which
Speaker 1: finally watched Dave Haven't Climbed Movie. I know you guys
Speaker 1: are getting at me to watch it. Yeah, honestly, God,
Speaker 1: and that's where I thought you were well And I
Speaker 1: was like a little bit series about little Dickie. Oh
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah, but you know because Ivan right, mean,
Speaker 1: you know they did we we were then they weren't
Speaker 1: working with us after that when they heard you didn't
Speaker 1: see Dave. Yeah, what is something too bar you thinkings
Speaker 1: underrated right now? Given everything that's continu know in these times,
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys people often say, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: continuing to check on your people, honestly, check on your
Speaker 1: folks that are struggling, you know, have been struggling, or
Speaker 1: continue to go through it. Part of me really worries
Speaker 1: about what the eventual long term effects, you know, everything
Speaker 1: might be on all of our minds. But uh, you know,
Speaker 1: my underrating is definitely checking in on the folks, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can, if you're at a place where you
Speaker 1: can do that, if you can be of support, whether
Speaker 1: it's to be a phone or call or text or
Speaker 1: however you get down. Um, I've recently been doing that
Speaker 1: and I'll just say it definitely has been the perfect
Speaker 1: time for some of the folks. Yeah, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: we we have like this thing too, where we tend
Speaker 1: to look at the world like we just tend to
Speaker 1: look at the world through like our own experience or
Speaker 1: like what our you know, what we can handle, what
Speaker 1: our sort of thresholds are for certain things. And it's
Speaker 1: easy to think, Okay, well, if I'm good, then everybody
Speaker 1: else is probably good, or if I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: halfway there, then maybe everybody else's But we're all very
Speaker 1: different and we all respond to things very differently. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and more than ever, Uh, you really should, because I
Speaker 1: think we also have a problem culturally, especially in this country,
Speaker 1: just across the board of being vulnerable, especially you know
Speaker 1: for you know sis men. Uh, there's a there's a
Speaker 1: certain kind of masculinity that you've been raised with sort
Speaker 1: of like well, I don't I don't need to make
Speaker 1: problems for other people, but you know what, like we're
Speaker 1: all we're all friends, were all you know, family where
Speaker 1: we all love each other. And I think it's important
Speaker 1: to remember that and extend that in as many directions
Speaker 1: as possible, because yes, people are in need of it,
Speaker 1: even if they don't ask for it. To your point,
Speaker 1: I'm sure like even if even if a friend maybe not,
Speaker 1: if you didn't even tell you jabari that that was
Speaker 1: the right time, they may have hung up and been
Speaker 1: like goddamn, I fucking needed that, or just to even
Speaker 1: hear someone's voice and be complimentary or just be like, Hi,
Speaker 1: I care about you. It goes a long way, for sure.
Speaker 1: And not only that, it's like, you know, just a
Speaker 1: piggyback on that. I think a lot of us are
Speaker 1: just tired. And I mean, why am I saying I
Speaker 1: think I know a lot of us are just tired,
Speaker 1: so we can lose sight of like doing things like that,
Speaker 1: we can lose sight of like oh maybe I should
Speaker 1: check in when my people or maybe I should you know,
Speaker 1: you'll be a be human being and have some sort
Speaker 1: of you know, human interactions. So yeah, I just think
Speaker 1: this is the perfect time for that. That's something I
Speaker 1: had heard, uh, like a couple of years back, people
Speaker 1: saying that like if if it makes you tired, it's toxic.
Speaker 1: Or like disordered or unhealthy for you. And I just
Speaker 1: feel like we're all in such an unhealthy place that
Speaker 1: we're all just like tired all the time. I'm now, um,
Speaker 1: but that is like, that is something that I've had
Speaker 1: to kind of force myself to come to terms with.
Speaker 1: Is that like, even though I'm really tired, there's some
Speaker 1: like things that I can proactively do that make me
Speaker 1: less tired, like whether it be working out or talking
Speaker 1: to people or you know, doing things that in the
Speaker 1: moment I'm like, funk, I do not want to do this, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and doing things ship again, we were talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, how COVID is affecting our memories, like punctuating
Speaker 1: your day with as many different things. And I know
Speaker 1: now especially in l A like they're leaving the house
Speaker 1: is daunting ask. But you know, even if you're just
Speaker 1: getting listening to some new music or just saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm randomly going to look at this and
Speaker 1: play this album and just think about some or whatever,
Speaker 1: or you know, if you have the free time to
Speaker 1: do other things. I realized how much, especially over the break,
Speaker 1: I was losing like sense of days and things because
Speaker 1: at least I would you know, when I'm recording, there's
Speaker 1: like there's a rhythm to things. But when you sort
Speaker 1: of lose that, it's really easy to get completely sort
Speaker 1: of lost in the sauce, as it were. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? All right? I had to
Speaker 1: go here being the first to make a declaration, like
Speaker 1: whether we're talking about like a basketball player or work
Speaker 1: of art or you know, just things in general. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, whether we're would be I'm sure you guys
Speaker 1: see it on NBA Twitter or just Twitter in general,
Speaker 1: or just social media in general. You know, folks are
Speaker 1: so quick and they want to be immediate about like,
Speaker 1: oh this guy is a bust, or they want to
Speaker 1: crap all over a movie or a show that the
Speaker 1: masses are enjoying. That seems to be you know you
Speaker 1: kind of like you just where a lot of us are,
Speaker 1: especially on social media. So really just you know, I
Speaker 1: think be you know, what is overrated is specifically trying
Speaker 1: to be that guy or that person is more right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: throwing down the takes of like absolute immutable truth and
Speaker 1: being like and there is no there is no other
Speaker 1: opinion except for this one. It's like you are a
Speaker 1: fool because there are no such thing as absolutes. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, like I appreciate it
Speaker 1: back and forth. I appreciate like I have no problem disagreeing,
Speaker 1: and it's coming to the conclusion that we both believe
Speaker 1: different things. It's it's exactly that, you know that that
Speaker 1: meant that mentality of uh, you know, like what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is right, what you're saying is wrong. I'm the greatest,
Speaker 1: you're not or whatever. I feel like normative judgments in
Speaker 1: general are like saying something is good or bad as
Speaker 1: opposed to just assuming from the start it's interesting and
Speaker 1: more thinking and talking about uh, even when it comes
Speaker 1: to NBA stuff, like every every conversation on ESPN is
Speaker 1: like no, he sucks, like he doesn't deserve this. It's
Speaker 1: just like, you know, just enjoy that these people are
Speaker 1: geniuses who are doing a thing better than anyone in
Speaker 1: the history of the human species has ever done it,
Speaker 1: and just like be you know, talk about that and
Speaker 1: like what's interesting about you know, what they're contributing to
Speaker 1: the art form as opposed to UH just always is
Speaker 1: having to be I don't know, it's so frustrated that
Speaker 1: conflict that's all conflict. It's never because imagine you would
Speaker 1: have like really interesting conversations if people were just really
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, that's interesting and like let's explore this,
Speaker 1: rather than be like, man, what do you say, Chuck? No,
Speaker 1: Like it's just this, like I get it, and that
Speaker 1: replicates like the banter of like friends. But I think
Speaker 1: for people, especially like if you're an old you know,
Speaker 1: hall of famer doing some punditry, sometimes I'd appreciate a
Speaker 1: little more insight from your perspective of someone who can actually,
Speaker 1: like I talk to what is happening on the court
Speaker 1: versus looking salty as fuck like Shack and Paul Pierce do,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the fuck is wrong? Y'all are
Speaker 1: so inelegant, it's so funny. It's like that's the only
Speaker 1: word I can use to describe them. So appalled. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so this is so rude and
Speaker 1: in elegant, and it's just a disservice to your more shock.
Speaker 1: And Paul Piers because really good takes when he's like
Speaker 1: talking about like really actually engaging with Yeah, but he thought,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he feels as though, like you know,
Speaker 1: praise is a zero sum game, Like, you know, we can't,
Speaker 1: you know, we can't praise this current generation without taking
Speaker 1: away somehow, you know, what he has done. And this
Speaker 1: is coming from the biggest Shack fan. I grew up
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles at you know, during the eighties and
Speaker 1: nineties and honestly the odds and you know, and and
Speaker 1: so on, like Shack over Kobe. That's one of the
Speaker 1: things I try to remind people of. Like eventually l
Speaker 1: A came around the Kobe, but initially it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: it was Shack and the kid. It was exactly. But
Speaker 1: for whatever his reason, you know, whatever his reasoning is,
Speaker 1: he feels as though he has to tear other folks down.
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, and I know this
Speaker 1: is you know, like your listeners are probably like, what
Speaker 1: the hell this is not a sports podcast, but sorry,
Speaker 1: you know, it's where you were going with It is
Speaker 1: exactly where it is. It is it is it does
Speaker 1: the game at this service, Like when you have somebody
Speaker 1: like a luminary, you're like, you know, the size and
Speaker 1: the magnitude of Shack, you know, actively shifting on the
Speaker 1: current product and not not in a not in not
Speaker 1: even in a productive way. Uh, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: just like saying like, oh, you know, if he doesn't
Speaker 1: do this, then you do it. It's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: like seriously, like you're better than that. You know the
Speaker 1: you know the product. You know you could sell this
Speaker 1: product better than that, and you know, maybe the rings
Speaker 1: would have been wouldn't have been down so much last year, right, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's just it's it's off. I don't understand
Speaker 1: for someone who is identifies as the big Aristotle, such
Speaker 1: illogical takes from him are really just run a foul
Speaker 1: for me. And I think it's funny because it's you know,
Speaker 1: look at Kobe. He when Lebron broke his ship, he
Speaker 1: was like, wow, good for you. I know what that
Speaker 1: takes to do that, and I respect you as a
Speaker 1: fellow person on this journey called playing ball, whereas like
Speaker 1: these other guys, it's just so salty and just takes
Speaker 1: a lot out of it whatever you hate. But I
Speaker 1: think it's also like movies, Like a lot of times
Speaker 1: when we talk about a movie on here, like the
Speaker 1: responses on Twitter will be like, yeah, that movie sucked
Speaker 1: or that movie is great, and it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like that's not that's not even like that was one
Speaker 1: of the main things. We We had to show a
Speaker 1: crack called After Hours, and like that was the one
Speaker 1: like rule that we had at the outset is like
Speaker 1: we're not talking about whether it's like good or bad.
Speaker 1: It's just like engaging with it as if it's an
Speaker 1: incredibly interesting piece of you know, literature or art that
Speaker 1: is being you know, studied, like like it's a college rice.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly guilty of it at times, but it's definitely
Speaker 1: something that I'm looking to, you know, get rid of
Speaker 1: from you from my game idea. I think especially now
Speaker 1: too because when we even when we were talking about
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman, right, like I have energy to say ship
Speaker 1: sucks because that's it's fun and it's cathartic to kind
Speaker 1: of get your right like it's like it really has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the TV show. It's like some
Speaker 1: ship that happened to me. And I'm you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't have therapy that day, so I'm an yell at
Speaker 1: Lori lawson um and like yes, in light of like
Speaker 1: all seeing just the criticism of like Wonder Woman and
Speaker 1: like the arguing about it. Not that I have a
Speaker 1: side in it, but I look at it as such
Speaker 1: an energetic waste that I'm like, yeah, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, like you gotta zoom out on
Speaker 1: ship and be like, these are just everybody's gonna rock
Speaker 1: with a thing that they like. And yeah, you can
Speaker 1: say your two cents, but to say someone is wronger, right,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's not actually acknowledging how we take
Speaker 1: things in, Like there are only a few things that
Speaker 1: are like objectively across the board bad. You're like, you're
Speaker 1: stupid for fucking with it. H that's Pooka shells and racism.
Speaker 1: But like other than that, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I think with I feel like, just for me energetically,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it's just it's easier to just be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that was cool. I wouldn't watch it again, and that's
Speaker 1: all the energy I will give that thing moving on
Speaker 1: because life is too precious. Yeah, alright, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and we are mid operation warp speed. You know, based
Speaker 1: on the type all I was, I was expecting it
Speaker 1: to be just over like I was expecting blinking you
Speaker 1: miss it type ship from our government's rollout of this
Speaker 1: vaccine um but the administration was supposed to have twenty
Speaker 1: million doses administered by the end of uh they managed
Speaker 1: to get a little over four million. Uh So that's
Speaker 1: that's not good. I'm slow they did. They crunched the
Speaker 1: numbers at that rate. I'm people sure. I'm sure people
Speaker 1: saw that headline like towards the end of the year,
Speaker 1: at the rate they were out there saying, oh, this
Speaker 1: could take one decade to get everybody vaccinated at of
Speaker 1: like to get the kind of immunity numbers we need,
Speaker 1: so the disease would have you know, mutated and not Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and ran for president and one and we don't have
Speaker 1: a vaccine that Yeah. The biggest reason there's this is
Speaker 1: going horribly is that Trump is fucking everything up. He's
Speaker 1: like not doing anything in the way of leadership and
Speaker 1: like not really being you know, he's just completely controlling
Speaker 1: the narrative in such a way that it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: like we don't we don't have like that's not what
Speaker 1: we're focused on. Because he's also trying to take down
Speaker 1: American bnocracy and he's and it's one of those things
Speaker 1: where he's like if he's not good at it, he
Speaker 1: spikes the football and leaves the yard. So if he
Speaker 1: can't get the he couldn't get the pandemic under control,
Speaker 1: he's like fuck it. And he's just clearly, you know,
Speaker 1: turned his back on doing anything of substance. So is
Speaker 1: this a matter of and and forgive me, you know,
Speaker 1: I I listened to dailys like guys in order to
Speaker 1: get this type of information or these types of these
Speaker 1: types of opinions. But is this a matter of like
Speaker 1: people just not having the information, people being continuing to
Speaker 1: be resistant to taking it, you know, kind of a
Speaker 1: combination of I think one of the biggest things is,
Speaker 1: you know, the administration, they're there, they have asked for
Speaker 1: the doses, and so the pharmaceutical companies are delivering it
Speaker 1: to the federal government. And the plan basically ended with
Speaker 1: them getting the vaccines to the states and really nothing
Speaker 1: more coherent, not even a schedule to do with that.
Speaker 1: And on top of it, funds are fucking so low
Speaker 1: at the state level. Think of Cares Act many maybe
Speaker 1: we can maybe pump some more money into their um
Speaker 1: and so a lot of things have not been working optimally.
Speaker 1: But the thing is most of the states have actually
Speaker 1: been doing the work of setting up like the vaccine
Speaker 1: distribution protocols. The only issue is they were only given
Speaker 1: a couple of days notice in some instances, so before
Speaker 1: that that allotment of vaccines goes out, the states are like, wait,
Speaker 1: what we're getting in three days? Like we thought we
Speaker 1: would get more time to figure sort out our ultra
Speaker 1: coold storage, like all this other stuff, what parts we're
Speaker 1: gonna distribute it, How we're gonna do that? Who the
Speaker 1: professionals are like, we you can't just tell us in
Speaker 1: two days, like, oh, we're pulling up in forty eight
Speaker 1: hours with you know X amount of doses, and that
Speaker 1: has really caused a huge you know, uh, I guess,
Speaker 1: you know, car crash, so to speak of, you know,
Speaker 1: the logistical nightmare, nightmare that we're seeing in terms of
Speaker 1: getting it out there to people. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: just bad. It's all around bad. And in other words,
Speaker 1: like we're just seeing that we don't have our ship
Speaker 1: together at at any point because for decades, Republicans, conservatives
Speaker 1: and Democrats to this whole thing of gutting our federal
Speaker 1: government because you know, that's just it. It's I think
Speaker 1: it's obviously when you have a government like that that
Speaker 1: can do things and regulate things, that means it can
Speaker 1: regulate greed. And as we've seen, get the regulations out
Speaker 1: stop to get the federal government out of my thing.
Speaker 1: I don't want the nanny state, but we're seeing when
Speaker 1: it comes to something like getting vaccines to the country,
Speaker 1: we need an organized federal infrastructure to get to that point.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I think is really telling.
Speaker 1: If we can't get our ship together to get vaccines out,
Speaker 1: like literally just like get vaccines to people, how the
Speaker 1: funk are we going to take something on like climate change?
Speaker 1: You know, this is what's really disheartening to see. This
Speaker 1: is literally just talking about we can't even get free
Speaker 1: money on time. How the funk are we gonna get
Speaker 1: our shipped together to create a new energy grid to
Speaker 1: get renewables through to like these areas that we need
Speaker 1: them to uh to pivot to like zero emissions energy
Speaker 1: sources in a quick amount of time. Like there's a
Speaker 1: lot that has to be done, and I think we're
Speaker 1: there's the signals a lot more about like where we're
Speaker 1: at um across the board, and I mean it's following
Speaker 1: decades of culture that was I like the ideological content
Speaker 1: of our culture from the eighties on has been like
Speaker 1: glorifying individualism, and like there's no movies that show like
Speaker 1: a great job being done by bureaucracy, like that the
Speaker 1: bureaucrats are the villains and ghostbusters and basically everything from
Speaker 1: there forward, Like that's that from a cultural perspective, like
Speaker 1: these are the things that have you know that the
Speaker 1: New Deal is like the biggest success of American American
Speaker 1: history and modern American history, and was we just kind
Speaker 1: of ignored it and took it for granted, And like
Speaker 1: culturally it is just a thing that nobody has like
Speaker 1: kind of spoken up for or made a case for
Speaker 1: in decades and then so it's not surprising that the
Speaker 1: Republicans are able to just like strip it for parts
Speaker 1: until now, Yeah, we can't deliver a life saving vaccine.
Speaker 1: And I do think the messaging that's going out is
Speaker 1: about like, yeah, but people aren't taking it or people
Speaker 1: are scared of it. But it's really it's this, you know,
Speaker 1: the fact that all the states are on their own
Speaker 1: to like figure it out on their own. That's not
Speaker 1: how it is in any other country, like that's I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: at least this time around, the federal government doesn't have
Speaker 1: states fighting each other over vaccines like before when the
Speaker 1: federal government was like also in bidding wars for medical
Speaker 1: equipment at the beginning. But yeah, it's who knows where
Speaker 1: this ends up, but you it's you know, the twenty
Speaker 1: camp comes soon enough. But even then, I don't know
Speaker 1: like what an administration is stepping into and what the
Speaker 1: real ability is going to be to speed this up
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, what one thing I think they're going
Speaker 1: to be stepping into is suddenly a sudden resurgence and
Speaker 1: calls for austerity from Republicans after after Trump, you know
Speaker 1: what would court to spend as much money as as
Speaker 1: he wanted on all things. Now, I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some a huge amount of pushback. You're already seeing
Speaker 1: it in stories yesterday when you know, we as right now,
Speaker 1: we don't know what happened in the Georgia election last night.
Speaker 1: The stories about like how UM Wall Street is spooked
Speaker 1: by the possibility of a democratic control of all the
Speaker 1: different branches because that would cause um inflation to be
Speaker 1: out of control like that. It's just it's only a
Speaker 1: problem when it's trying to help people when it's you know,
Speaker 1: driving up the national depth sit because of tax cuts
Speaker 1: for corporate rations. Nobody gives a ship. But suddenly the
Speaker 1: idea that you know, Democrats would be in charge of
Speaker 1: everything and giving breaks to the people of the country
Speaker 1: is is a huge problem. But Joe Biden at least
Speaker 1: as saying that he's on board for the two thousand
Speaker 1: dollar checks, right, Joe Bienen the austerity king of the
Speaker 1: eighties nineties, and Joe Bienen really, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we we I don't know. Look he if you look
Speaker 1: at his record, he's he's the austerity. He loves austerity.
Speaker 1: My man is so austere with it. Uh. He's tried
Speaker 1: to fucking free spending that everything you can that would
Speaker 1: help people who needed Medicare, Medicaid, VET benefits, fucking Social
Speaker 1: Security and he's even said that ship with like with
Speaker 1: his chest out, like, oh yeah, I tried to freeze it.
Speaker 1: I've tried to do it multiple times. And a lot
Speaker 1: of people, I think because Bernie Sanders and a lot
Speaker 1: of other people during the primary, we're pointing to this
Speaker 1: about being like, yo, this guy is a fake gass human,
Speaker 1: like he's not. He's not actually like everything that he
Speaker 1: preaches is completely different than his record, and people saying, well,
Speaker 1: it was a long time ago and he was with Obama,
Speaker 1: who also tried to make some Social Security cuts. But anyway,
Speaker 1: all that to say, you look at him and you say, okay,
Speaker 1: I can see that Joe Bienen is possibly four checks,
Speaker 1: maybe against them. Um. And there was this huge thing
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are pointing to that saying like,
Speaker 1: we think he might be actually against these checks. Now
Speaker 1: he says he denies that he's against checks. He never
Speaker 1: say I'm not against checks. But at the end of
Speaker 1: December or the beginning of December, he was pressuring Democrats
Speaker 1: to accept a relief bill that did not have checks. Um.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how to square that, because he
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't saying like, no, these people needed he was like, no,
Speaker 1: go for that, Go for that, go for that. Do
Speaker 1: either of you ever see any outcome of this that
Speaker 1: you know, any that anything ever changes, Like specifically, if
Speaker 1: there's not actually a third party that has a legitimate
Speaker 1: shot to like take a you know, take a big election,
Speaker 1: is there ever really going to be anything you know
Speaker 1: that changes with these folks with The reason why I
Speaker 1: say that is they present like it's bloods and crypts,
Speaker 1: but they all go home to the same thing. They
Speaker 1: all go the same party after you know, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, when the when the have the
Speaker 1: same rag on underneath the rag same one underneath, right,
Speaker 1: it's like it's purple. No, I, I honestly don't um.
Speaker 1: I mean until you have things even before that, you
Speaker 1: have to get corporate money out of politics. That's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. If if corporate interests have an outsized uh
Speaker 1: influence in elections, like more so in that they can
Speaker 1: spend people into oblivion or spend them into office, that
Speaker 1: is that's one perversion that we'd have to let go of.
Speaker 1: But yeah, also we do need parties that actually represent
Speaker 1: what people are saying they want and need, because yeah,
Speaker 1: it is very much same side of the you know,
Speaker 1: the same token essentially of you know, keeping this corporate
Speaker 1: ocracy in place and making sure that you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: people will get what they need. But also don't take
Speaker 1: too big a bite out of Wall streetsass because you
Speaker 1: know that's the thing. Just like Jack saying like they'll
Speaker 1: put they'll put headlines out and now people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's Wall Street saying as if we give a fuck,
Speaker 1: you know, like that doesn't affect most people's day to
Speaker 1: day lives. And but many people have been tricked into
Speaker 1: the spectacle of like looking at the doubt charts and
Speaker 1: be like, oh god, I don't know, because either way,
Speaker 1: the person I work for is a greedy, fucking ghoul
Speaker 1: who gives up could give a funk less about me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's it's it's hard to think of
Speaker 1: how to make things better. But as I was saying, like,
Speaker 1: I just feel like this the talk of third parties
Speaker 1: should I hopefully grows. Uh as this year goes on
Speaker 1: and people, um, you know, I don't I would be
Speaker 1: surprised if Joe Biden actually gives props to the progressive
Speaker 1: wing and the activists who helped, you know, get him
Speaker 1: into office. Mmm. But I don't know. Yeah, My My
Speaker 1: one hope is that as the older white males who
Speaker 1: have run things for the past twenty years sort of
Speaker 1: slowly die off, that you know, the younger people who
Speaker 1: are you know, markedly socialist compared to any past generation,
Speaker 1: uh kind of takes over that, you know, if they
Speaker 1: just need to figure out how to take over because
Speaker 1: it's you know, we're being blocked out by the previous
Speaker 1: generation right now. But but I do think it's like
Speaker 1: culturally it's coming, like people are understanding, are starting to understand,
Speaker 1: like this is fucking bullshit. Well, when you have a
Speaker 1: generation that only has about four and a half percent
Speaker 1: of the wealth, yeah, that's an entire generation going like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: funk all this like's not working for me or anyone
Speaker 1: I know, So what the funk is this all about?
Speaker 1: And I mean just back to Joe Biden. Joe Biden. Um,
Speaker 1: now he's saying he's loving two thousand dollar checks, and
Speaker 1: but you know it's really because he's campaigning for US
Speaker 1: off and war knocked down in Georgia, and he's basically
Speaker 1: telling people of America, Uh, you know, you can have
Speaker 1: a little stimmy as a treat if you deliver me
Speaker 1: the Senate. Uh. It's sort of like the you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's one of the things he said, he goes,
Speaker 1: think about what it will mean for your lives, about
Speaker 1: the two checks, putting food on the table, paying rent,
Speaker 1: paying down your mortgage, pay down, the credit card, paying
Speaker 1: the phone bill, the gas, build the electric bill, how
Speaker 1: about you make that ship easier to afford for fucking
Speaker 1: people reversing it. Imagine that you vote for me, you
Speaker 1: get a check to do that, because I'm surely not
Speaker 1: going to ensure these outcomes for you. What the fuck?
Speaker 1: That's why it's just so like gross. And I become
Speaker 1: more and more cynical looking at this ship, because like
Speaker 1: we're truly you know, there's there are there are politicians
Speaker 1: whore like even on the right, who are like, we
Speaker 1: have to give people money. Like, no matter how which
Speaker 1: way you look at this, this is not going to work.
Speaker 1: Um yet didn't just yeah, it's not socialism, that's what
Speaker 1: he said. It's not socialism, no worry, it's not socialism. Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and this food is gonna taste jack
Speaker 1: about that? Oh my god, baby, beans, some chicken, some
Speaker 1: some rice. Just go to choree three, oh huh and
Speaker 1: eat what. Yeah. And I mean again, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of this two thousand dollar check talk, you know, came
Speaker 1: out of Bernie forcing the issue in the Senate and
Speaker 1: brought a lot more attention to it. And I think
Speaker 1: now that it's like people like oh right, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the people of the country like, yeah, that seems fair
Speaker 1: for a start, given that all we got was eight
Speaker 1: hundred dollars um, you know, and we're in a country
Speaker 1: that for all this ship talking and knowing there's so
Speaker 1: much wealth here, we can't bring ourselves just to switch
Speaker 1: it up to humane mode and tax wealthy people rather
Speaker 1: than get off a profit at all costs mode, because
Speaker 1: that's we're stuck on that. I once thought that the
Speaker 1: great you know, the the old adage, the greatest, greatest
Speaker 1: trick the devil everpooled. I once thought our greatest trick
Speaker 1: was convincing the world that we were great. It really
Speaker 1: was convincing us that we were breaking vote against our
Speaker 1: interests and to completely go, you know, act in in
Speaker 1: opposition to everything you know that would actually benefit us. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And and packaging it in a way that it tastes
Speaker 1: like poison to us to accept help. That's the fucking
Speaker 1: that's the Unfortunately, the evil genius of that rhetoric is
Speaker 1: that it's forced people like and you see, they get
Speaker 1: so close. You always talk about this when like right
Speaker 1: wing business owners are like, what the heck man, Like,
Speaker 1: I can't I can't not work? Then I'm making no
Speaker 1: money And the government's not doing anything about it. The
Speaker 1: thing they can do is to fucking give you money
Speaker 1: to subsidize all of that lost business and your wages
Speaker 1: because they are taxing you. And yet you're like, well
Speaker 1: I don't need that ship. Come on, fam, you're giving
Speaker 1: them the money already. Get that. We were built on
Speaker 1: a slave economy. And if we remain on a slave economy,
Speaker 1: say no, one, let's talk about vaccine. Fuck, are you
Speaker 1: real quick? Um? There's a couple Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: we saw the results of some of the conspiracy theory
Speaker 1: izing theorizing uh in Wisconsin, where a pharmacist intentionally spoiled
Speaker 1: five eight vaccine doses because he wanted to protect people
Speaker 1: from Bill Gates and having their d n A altered.
Speaker 1: He's coming from a good place, coming from a good place.
Speaker 1: I care. I'm I'm here to save these kids, comment pizza.
Speaker 1: It's all the same thing. I'm here to save these people.
Speaker 1: When they when they arrested him, he just was like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going through a divorce and I'm like really stressed
Speaker 1: out and I'm kind of like angry or whatever, and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh okay, uh, And come to find out
Speaker 1: his wife was ringing alarm bells back in June when
Speaker 1: she began divorce proceedings. Uh and like in one of
Speaker 1: the things filed the listening, my understanding is that the
Speaker 1: respondent is more aligned with the feeling of conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: He has theories about COVID nineteen. He believes the end
Speaker 1: of the world has come. So my client would like
Speaker 1: him to be out of the house. And he brought
Speaker 1: a gun to work twice because he was convinced of
Speaker 1: some bullshit going down. And again people are just on
Speaker 1: there like, oh, well, he's a fo I don't know
Speaker 1: that that. So this man is on some conspiracy ship.
Speaker 1: He has guns. His wife is like, yo, I'm alarmed
Speaker 1: by his his behavior. So this is what we will
Speaker 1: also call a terrorist. Just like five g R V.
Speaker 1: John Brown who was pulling up in was that tent
Speaker 1: Tennessee Nashville, who's part whose partner also said they had
Speaker 1: that their significant other had violent tendencies, And we're saying
Speaker 1: some offshit about whatever whatever was going on. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: we got so much of this ship is right in
Speaker 1: front of us, but we're not We're not adjusting our
Speaker 1: lenses are vocabulary to describe them as they are. My
Speaker 1: man essentially went like Snickers commercial, like, oh man, dude,
Speaker 1: you I was having a rough one, and like you,
Speaker 1: he just made just made I potentially committed like you know,
Speaker 1: two sixty acts of murder, you know, by giving it.
Speaker 1: My goodness, the commercial will be like Ben Lodden and
Speaker 1: then he takes a Snickers bar bite and he's back
Speaker 1: to the pharmacist. He's like, oh, I'm sorry about that, y'all.
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, I think of they're saying that
Speaker 1: the doses like or whatever, they're attaching like a monetary
Speaker 1: value to it to be like, oh, you know, this
Speaker 1: is like what you did, but like, let's be real.
Speaker 1: Those are doses for frontline workers, essential workers who are
Speaker 1: not That's not just eight grand or twelve grand. That's
Speaker 1: the potential for true loss of life. And I mean,
Speaker 1: god damn you think if you work at a pharmacy,
Speaker 1: there would be a line to be like, yo, if
Speaker 1: all your co workers on some conspiracy bullshit hit us
Speaker 1: up because we can't have them in charge of, you know,
Speaker 1: have handling vaccines. Yeah. I feel like there is we
Speaker 1: we've been there. There's been such an explosion of these
Speaker 1: ideas that are like credibly dangerous terroristic ideas about but
Speaker 1: but they're just everywhere to the point that you know,
Speaker 1: there we just have been like, yeah, he's another one
Speaker 1: of those anti vax or types, and it's just like, yo,
Speaker 1: that's lightly. I mean, in this conspiracy theory ship, it
Speaker 1: has broad appeal, y'all. It has broad fucking appeal. I
Speaker 1: see it in former colleagues, fucking classmates people. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: here they are all that ship. They some people are
Speaker 1: and can because you don't know what you know. Conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories are very attractive because it's a way to explain
Speaker 1: away our lack of power or lack of control, And
Speaker 1: it's much easier to assign it to this other spooky
Speaker 1: thing than to just look at the devil in its
Speaker 1: i'm and be like, this is what it is. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, all that to say is you can't you
Speaker 1: can't be dismissive, not to say every person is believing
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories like is on their way to doing something
Speaker 1: fucked up. But we're in a tremendous overlap on that
Speaker 1: thinking and the propensity to commit these kinds of acts.
Speaker 1: And it's yeah, it's it's it's really it's really freaky
Speaker 1: to your point about the broad appeal of conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: You know, like I have these conversations all the time
Speaker 1: with you know, friends, family, you know, I've because you know,
Speaker 1: like many of us do, I have a cousin's group,
Speaker 1: you know, group chat where folks were sharing some of
Speaker 1: those you know, some of those ideas, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: where did you even get this from? And of course
Speaker 1: it came from some other I G user or whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be. But that's actually part of the
Speaker 1: reason why. And I was hesitant at first because I
Speaker 1: was like, well, you know, just given how everybody reacts
Speaker 1: on social media, but ultimately as part of the reason
Speaker 1: why I acknowledged that, I went ahead and got you know,
Speaker 1: like I I've already gotten my first my first dose. Um,
Speaker 1: I've you know, two more weeks and and I'll have
Speaker 1: you I'll have my second dose. But mainly be in
Speaker 1: order to like, if there's anybody out there that was
Speaker 1: specifically waiting to see like, oh, did anything happen. No,
Speaker 1: nothing happened. I feel fine. I you know, for those
Speaker 1: that folks that are out there worried about autoimmune you know, disorders,
Speaker 1: I current I have an autoimmune disorder I have, I
Speaker 1: have asthma, I have all types of different things, you know,
Speaker 1: like you that would cause concern, and I have no
Speaker 1: problems whatsoever. I'm very grateful for you know, you know
Speaker 1: that I was initially. Yeah, I mean I even see
Speaker 1: like like I have a few friends who work in healthcare.
Speaker 1: I mean they're all I'm always I'm like, yo, what's
Speaker 1: it like? Oh cool? It's like someone got a PS five.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, oh, oh you got did it hurt?
Speaker 1: Oh cool? What's the next man? Yeah? Exactly. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know, for whatever reason, and I get it. I
Speaker 1: think every everyone understands that hesitancy, especially you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's cultural that your own people's culture with medical experimentation
Speaker 1: in this country or what you know this administration to
Speaker 1: be with a lack of care for humans. I get that.
Speaker 1: There are many reasons to be like, but that's really like,
Speaker 1: if you're really breaking it down, there's no reason to
Speaker 1: think that that there's anything afoot like that there's something
Speaker 1: menacing about trying to develop a vaccine, which we're all
Speaker 1: seeing the effects of this virus when it just is
Speaker 1: it's a runaway pandemic situation. So yes, this is what
Speaker 1: we're These are solutions we're trying to figure out. And
Speaker 1: what I what I was trying to get across the
Speaker 1: like you know the folks that really were you know,
Speaker 1: oh and you know this Trump thing. It's not like
Speaker 1: Trump was sitting there in the lab with a beaker,
Speaker 1: you know, in a microscope, you know, like nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: he had nothing. He's just retroactively trying to take credit
Speaker 1: for people you can't even spell. Yeah, although I would
Speaker 1: pay money to see him in a like mixing like
Speaker 1: an earl in meyer flask and like a beaker, like
Speaker 1: just pouring one back and forth. If I was a scientist,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Mr President, just keep putting those liquids
Speaker 1: back and forth into between those two vials. And then
Speaker 1: the idea was if the vaccine ended up being putting
Speaker 1: some light inside your body somehow, that the would have
Speaker 1: been something to associate with him and skeptical Bill Gates,
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, like led Diodes. So Jmr Writer did a
Speaker 1: deep dive into just kind of what is being put
Speaker 1: out there in the conspiracy corners. Um, it's a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of it goes back to Bill Gates, who
Speaker 1: apparently cracked this amazing new technology where you can put
Speaker 1: microchips inside people in just tiny little shots and you
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel like just grip your veins up as it
Speaker 1: flies through. He couldn't figure out windows this stuff, but
Speaker 1: he has figured out how to how to put little
Speaker 1: micro chips saying you that allegedly will talk to you.
Speaker 1: They have like volume controls and trouble and based controls.
Speaker 1: Uh I wonder that an anti vaxtor who's on this
Speaker 1: micro chip ship? And like, have you ever passed a
Speaker 1: kidney stone? You know what I mean? Have you ever
Speaker 1: passed a kidney stone? Do you know that sensation of
Speaker 1: something You're like, I think this thing is ripping my
Speaker 1: body up from the inside and it comes down and
Speaker 1: you're like, what the fuck? It was that big and
Speaker 1: that just goes and you think they're putting motherfucking micro
Speaker 1: chips in you and you wouldn't know their ship are
Speaker 1: just I can't. I just want to walk people down
Speaker 1: the path, But you know, it is what it is
Speaker 1: the name of denying white supremacy essentially exactly. Experts are
Speaker 1: pointing out that, uh a, the technology doesn't exist and
Speaker 1: be anyone who owns the cell phones already getting tracked,
Speaker 1: so the absolutely no need to do to do any
Speaker 1: of that. Um. But you know they also think the
Speaker 1: micro chip contains the mark of the beasts. There was
Speaker 1: that video on TikTok that was viewed like a million
Speaker 1: times UM And right now COVID nineteen five g chip
Speaker 1: diagram is going viral. Uh. It's a diagram of an
Speaker 1: actual micro chip. Uh. And people are claiming it's the
Speaker 1: one that's being put into people's body. It's act really
Speaker 1: for the bows metal zone and two empty two guitar
Speaker 1: pedal is where is where they pulled this from Boss
Speaker 1: Boss shout out to boss pedals to my boss, be like, like,
Speaker 1: you're the boss, you know? Has has anyone ever explained
Speaker 1: why Bill Gates would want to track Let's just say,
Speaker 1: random bartholom off where you're at, I sick jack it
Speaker 1: off to your location. I'm trying to think how you
Speaker 1: get someone mad? Right, how would you get a stupid
Speaker 1: person mad about Bill Gates know where you are? You'd
Speaker 1: be like, because let's let's do a quick scene. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, so they get there. What he wants to
Speaker 1: do is put a microchip in you so he can
Speaker 1: track you. Okay, but what's okay? What does he want
Speaker 1: to do? Why? Why? Why? Dude? If he knows where
Speaker 1: you are, he can control you, okay, and then you
Speaker 1: and then he's basically gonna jack Hold, he's gonna jack
Speaker 1: off to knowing where you are. That's what I meant
Speaker 1: to say. He will jack off knowing where you are
Speaker 1: jack Okay. That's what's sick, and that's what we have
Speaker 1: to stop, is Bill Gates getting off to knowing where
Speaker 1: we are. I don't know what. I don't know how
Speaker 1: it is to game it out, to make it be
Speaker 1: like I don't know. Okay, Well, first of all, my
Speaker 1: phone already tells a lot of people where I am,
Speaker 1: if they if they wanted to know. Fans which I
Speaker 1: control through my phone, allows people to jack off to
Speaker 1: my location. So, ok, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1: While it's never quite been my key part of me
Speaker 1: would be kind of flattered if Bill Gates wanted to
Speaker 1: jack off for free. Bill Gates, you will not know
Speaker 1: my lad latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates without into ja ota
Speaker 1: that without a little check again. Yeah, I mean, what
Speaker 1: the I don't know? I mean because I guess the
Speaker 1: end game is right, because the other thing is like
Speaker 1: with the volume control could frout your immune system and
Speaker 1: like be a kill switch on someone's body, or like
Speaker 1: the base and treble thing. It's like these are such
Speaker 1: clear audio terms that that was like to help you
Speaker 1: know the power of the chip and what messages they
Speaker 1: could get to you. So okay, in this world where
Speaker 1: a microchip where Bill Gates can talk to you or
Speaker 1: kill switch you at a moment's notice like some fucked
Speaker 1: up fanos, Uh what is the next step? Then he
Speaker 1: he puts everybody on drone mode and then what he
Speaker 1: makes everybody have sex so he could watch them have
Speaker 1: sex and laugh. Yeah, we really we've created a version
Speaker 1: of Bill Bill Gates that's really into watching. He's like
Speaker 1: a real voyeur where he just wants he doesn't want
Speaker 1: them to fuck him, he just wants to watch them.
Speaker 1: Uh oh right right right. I mean And again, this
Speaker 1: whole like even the tweet that had this fucking schematic
Speaker 1: was all born out of these people saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: Russia pulled the chip out and they've got a diage.
Speaker 1: Like the language around it didn't even make sense, Like
Speaker 1: what do you mean they're saying the Russians quote the
Speaker 1: since have managed to remove the nano chips from the
Speaker 1: Fiser vaccine and have published a function diagram. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is called a schematic. I believe it sounds smart though,
Speaker 1: but then how do smart people look at this ship
Speaker 1: and go, man, this ain't it? They don't, But I
Speaker 1: still funk with the idea, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: there's got to be an engineer who looks at that
Speaker 1: and goes, this has nothing to do with anything. But
Speaker 1: I've I'm damn sure I'm not gonna say black lives matter.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be on this code with this plandemic
Speaker 1: ship like I don't know. Yeah, but I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess again, it's your You'll twist your brain in any
Speaker 1: manner of ways to just maintain your worldview and like
Speaker 1: the control over that worldview. So yeah, even if you
Speaker 1: are looking at a straight up boss fucking heavy metal
Speaker 1: guitar battle, you're gonna act like the Russians are trying
Speaker 1: to keep everybody safe from Bill Gates's you know propensity
Speaker 1: of I don't want you guy. You guys have discussed
Speaker 1: it on the show. The reality is this when you
Speaker 1: have folks that are on their deathbed with a ventilator
Speaker 1: dying of COVID saying no with their with their last
Speaker 1: death rattle, No it's not true. Yeah, how can you guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you can't anymore. Could you imagine someone their
Speaker 1: death bed They're like, nice, try, I'm not gonna fall.
Speaker 1: There was a dude in Michigan who was he was
Speaker 1: a COVID denier. Then he eventually, as it was killing
Speaker 1: him with his dying breath, admitted that COVID existed, but
Speaker 1: was still like Trump Buck didn't didn't get all the
Speaker 1: way through. See, I mean, I know it's everywhere, and
Speaker 1: by everywhere, I'm not talking about COVID, I just mean
Speaker 1: like everything we've got going on, but growing up in
Speaker 1: something California and then moving to the desert I live
Speaker 1: in Tucson. Now, Um, there the level of discourse or
Speaker 1: just like the conversations that take place make me truly
Speaker 1: truly realize we are not we are not the normal,
Speaker 1: like that they are the normal. It apparently that is
Speaker 1: the case, because I I couldn't even I couldn't even
Speaker 1: come up with it, you know, from a story perspective,
Speaker 1: some of the things that are said to me, it's
Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah, I think it's in everything. Coupled with
Speaker 1: the chaos that the pandemic has caused, it just makes
Speaker 1: it just the perfect fertile soil for ship like that,
Speaker 1: for ship like this to take, because it's unlike anything
Speaker 1: we've experienced, right to feel like, what the fuck're shutting
Speaker 1: everything down? Man? That just creates a whole People have
Speaker 1: too much time and too much internet to not get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of why everything is so shitty right
Speaker 1: now and until they find, like some people have found
Speaker 1: the satisfying act and answer in just observing the government
Speaker 1: and how capitalism moves to this country and how the
Speaker 1: decisions are being made, and others prefer this other thing, um,
Speaker 1: because that other ship is just too it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it's a sexier version or one that
Speaker 1: just gives makes them feel more in control. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough. It's tough. Yeah, alright, let's take
Speaker 1: another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: The president was back in front of his audience dance
Speaker 1: in the y m c a uh, and he introduced
Speaker 1: Kelly Lefler as Karen No lies there. Yeah, exactly, the
Speaker 1: first true thing he said in his presidency Uh. He
Speaker 1: also said, uh, introduced the Q Congress Lady h as
Speaker 1: someone he loves, even though Q is a legit terrorist organization.
Speaker 1: And then his son was evidently high on cocaine and
Speaker 1: just shouting at people. There's not a whole lot to
Speaker 1: cover down there, right, No, I mean it's just a
Speaker 1: lot of it's just screaming. You know, we've recovered the good,
Speaker 1: the good scream. Uh. Then he did a really awesome
Speaker 1: open mic bit on like a men and a women
Speaker 1: because they when the Congress like was sworn in, they
Speaker 1: said amen and then a women. And he's like, what
Speaker 1: the fund is this amen is not a gender term.
Speaker 1: I don't go here. I'm just gonna play this, Okay,
Speaker 1: So the new Lewis Black Donald Trump Junior took the
Speaker 1: mic just screaming about this amen and a women thing.
Speaker 1: He's I'm not joking. Prior to this is nineties seconds
Speaker 1: of him just saying I can't believe Democrats in about
Speaker 1: six hundred different ways. Uh. Because when you can find
Speaker 1: the strength to do that, when you're you know, sniff
Speaker 1: of the devil's jendre allegedly, but let's this is the
Speaker 1: part where he's his joke construction just is hitting and try.
Speaker 1: They're not even a parody of themselves at this point.
Speaker 1: It's insane. Amen is not a gendered term. Okay. If
Speaker 1: I go to a restaurant and I asked to see
Speaker 1: what's on the menu, why pause? They would look at me.
Speaker 1: That was a seven second pause. It feels like their
Speaker 1: audience is retired of this, Like I notice the difference
Speaker 1: the stadiums. You let's just say stadiums used to be packed.
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, he's like, okay, that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And also like that joke's kind of over my head.
Speaker 1: They're like, what does gendered term mean? You know? Like
Speaker 1: I don't, And so I think he was overestimating his audience.
Speaker 1: I think a little bit there because he was like
Speaker 1: it killed in the room with like these other wanks
Speaker 1: that I deal with every day. But I guess not
Speaker 1: so much with the crowd down here in Georgia. But
Speaker 1: we literally pissed his pants when I said, um, yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: let's talk about just generally, people are not into living
Speaker 1: in cities as much as they used to be, which
Speaker 1: isn't surprising. But Gallup is uh has been doing some
Speaker 1: polling and this is the biggest dip in people who
Speaker 1: are interested in living in urban areas since read after
Speaker 1: nine eleven. Pretty significant. They're like, yeah, the last time
Speaker 1: we saw a dip like this, uh, people were literally
Speaker 1: literally living in fear of like densely populated areas because
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, wow, now we're in a similar place. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the swing is pretty significant, and you know,
Speaker 1: who could blame anybody the especially in cities where the
Speaker 1: cost of living is so high and like the economy
Speaker 1: is essentially ground to a halt. Like I would have
Speaker 1: a lot of people being like, what is important anymore?
Speaker 1: Like I get that the city has cool things, but
Speaker 1: like it's not is it worth the toil to like
Speaker 1: exist within it? Um. And they're noticing that the biggest
Speaker 1: increases in their preferences for rural areas was from Republicans,
Speaker 1: those who live in the South, and non white Americans,
Speaker 1: which is interesting. Interesting. Yeah, So it's like Republicans want
Speaker 1: to leave the cities because they're too woke maybe and
Speaker 1: like they're outnumbered in urban areas, so they'd prefer to
Speaker 1: be in the spaces where other people can't check them. Um.
Speaker 1: And then I'm guessing for people of color, it's that
Speaker 1: like the cost of living, like it makes more sense
Speaker 1: to move there. There's there's less violence, there's just the
Speaker 1: the environments that you're escaping are are different. But that's
Speaker 1: all of of covid On absolutely populations of color like
Speaker 1: that's they've been hit much much harder. Um, So I'm
Speaker 1: sure I do do wonder how surprised they'd be when they
Speaker 1: see each other in the same place. You would you
Speaker 1: would think that, honestly, the folks that, you know, the
Speaker 1: conservatives that are moving away, like your white flight has
Speaker 1: been a thing for a long time. It's not like
Speaker 1: you can go where you won't sooner lady, We donta
Speaker 1: come see you sooner, lady comes back around every time
Speaker 1: you go ahead. You may be moving away from us,
Speaker 1: but you're moving closer to some of us, you know. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: all right, But but a serious note, how will this
Speaker 1: impact like are there long term impacts? And from a
Speaker 1: voting perspective, you know, if this continues to trend that way, well,
Speaker 1: I mean i'd imagine more more urban nights moving to
Speaker 1: these other areas will definitely change, you know, the demographics there,
Speaker 1: and I mean, like you know, there's people constantly talking
Speaker 1: about like exporting Californians to like all over the country
Speaker 1: because like too many of too many people here is
Speaker 1: too expensive. Why don't we start subsidized, Like why don't
Speaker 1: we just start seeding like libs across the land, uh
Speaker 1: and seeing what happens there. But I mean, I think
Speaker 1: the movement of people from urban areas to cities, it
Speaker 1: could all depend because you never know if you have
Speaker 1: the kinds of conservatives who are leaving cities and going
Speaker 1: into urban areas or people who are still progressive or
Speaker 1: liberal and moving. But there's any movement, No, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying in general, any movement I think we'll have have
Speaker 1: some kind of effect, But I think I don't know
Speaker 1: if we'll we'll be able to see that quite yet.
Speaker 1: There's a weird trend also where it's more likely if
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of population, like moving to a
Speaker 1: new area, that they will that the new people will
Speaker 1: change their democrats or change their points of view. Then
Speaker 1: it is that they will change the point of view
Speaker 1: of the place they're going. Like there's just all these
Speaker 1: weird ways that um geographic locations like retain the ideological
Speaker 1: bent of like the people who initially settled it in
Speaker 1: a way that's like super counterintuitive. Um, so like that
Speaker 1: that would be my one concern there is that rather
Speaker 1: than exporting Californian values, you're just you know, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: not the first generation of people who move out to
Speaker 1: the country, but like their kids are going to school
Speaker 1: with all the it eventually goes the other way. But yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll see. I wouldn't mind l A being perpetually
Speaker 1: like it is on like holiday weekends traffic wise, but
Speaker 1: that's very selfish. And yeah, well either way, as long
Speaker 1: as there's good weed, I could live anywhere there are.
Speaker 1: Let's talk real quick about what I think everybody's ready
Speaker 1: for us to address. Uh Mr Bean, Uh yeah, he
Speaker 1: I think like, is there a chance that he thought
Speaker 1: the being dead thing was about him and got because
Speaker 1: he he released his interview where he was like very
Speaker 1: defensive about cancel culture, um, comparing it to a medieval
Speaker 1: mob searching for people to burn. It's interesting that it's
Speaker 1: always elderly white men who seemed to have a problem
Speaker 1: with the course correction we're undergoing because correction, but the
Speaker 1: the terview is so it's um remarkable for in addition
Speaker 1: to that, just how unhappy he seems he's like so
Speaker 1: mad about ms like the character Mr Bean, He says,
Speaker 1: I don't much enjoy playing him. The weight of the
Speaker 1: responsibility is not pleasant, the like the way to the
Speaker 1: fucking world is on his shoulders. When he's playing Mr Bean,
Speaker 1: I find it stressful and exhausting, and I look forward
Speaker 1: to the end of it. Uh. I don't actually like
Speaker 1: the process of making anything, with the possible exception of
Speaker 1: Black black Adder, because the responsibility for making that series
Speaker 1: funny was on many shoulders, not just mine. But black
Speaker 1: Adder represented the creative energy. Uh yeah. So otherwise, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's also the face of the Johnny English film franchise,
Speaker 1: so you know I forgot about that. What a what
Speaker 1: a hero. Thank you for your service, Mr Bean. Um.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought one we needed? We needed his
Speaker 1: take on you know, progressive ideology. Only him, literally, only him,
Speaker 1: I mean, and we can catch him next in his
Speaker 1: Netflix series Man Versus b where he plays a man
Speaker 1: at war with a b while how sitting a luxurious mansion.
Speaker 1: Thank you Rowan Atkinson so much that he's work. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is yes, this is some ship he's coming out
Speaker 1: on that. That's literally the next thing coming out with
Speaker 1: Rowan Atkinson is called man versus b's not having like
Speaker 1: the weight of Mr. Bean. I'm like, whether are you
Speaker 1: in man versus B? Like be grateful? We remember you
Speaker 1: from Mr B? Yeah, be grateful man woman versus b. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's what he's probably gonna say, and they'll probably cancel
Speaker 1: me because it's called man versus B. It's like Jesus script.
Speaker 1: That's it's funny because he points to like this overly
Speaker 1: simplistic worldview that comes out of social media. Yet he's
Speaker 1: applying a very overly simplistic worldview as well. Shame really
Speaker 1: all of the shame that the hit dogs holler like
Speaker 1: we know this like and like you know to to
Speaker 1: the point that you know that you made Jack. That's
Speaker 1: why it's always the same person, Like yes, they're really
Speaker 1: whether it's James Woods or Rowan Atkinson or or whatever
Speaker 1: it it bothers them specifically because they're not able to
Speaker 1: just be racist pricks and douche bags and misogynist assholes
Speaker 1: like they always have been. It's it's really, it really
Speaker 1: is that simple. That's while that that's their version of
Speaker 1: being hit is not is there racism and just obliviousness
Speaker 1: being tolerated anymore. Is they're like, what's happening to my world?
Speaker 1: I used to just have to show up and be
Speaker 1: a white man and everything would fall into my leaps.
Speaker 1: Now there's like accountabil Oh hell no, this mable not
Speaker 1: come for me and my laziness. Uh well, Jabari, it
Speaker 1: has been a pleasure having you. Where can people find
Speaker 1: you and follow you and hear you and all that
Speaker 1: good stuff? Thank you both honestly, Like I mean, I
Speaker 1: meant it when I said earlier, it's an honor to
Speaker 1: be here as a member of ZiT gang. Thank you.
Speaker 1: H Twitter is probably the easiest place, Jabari Davis, NBA.
Speaker 1: The show that I do is Dunks and Discourse. We
Speaker 1: talk NBA, of course, but you know, we get into
Speaker 1: moving movies, TV shows and entertainment and you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: the topical things as well. We're not trying to into
Speaker 1: your space, but every so often we dip a toe.
Speaker 1: But thank you. Watch it, hey, watch it man? Uh
Speaker 1: And is there a tweet or some other work of
Speaker 1: social media you've been enjoying? There is and I actually
Speaker 1: say that, let's see it's from at Shiro hero six
Speaker 1: six six. I'm sure you get over. I heard her
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice. If you sub, there you go.
Speaker 1: If you sincerely choose to sort by price high to
Speaker 1: low and honestly, while I'm guilty of it at times,
Speaker 1: specifically because I want to see how the other you know,
Speaker 1: two percent only you'll live. Uh yeah, I have to agree.
Speaker 1: I have to. Oh man, that's a flex miles where
Speaker 1: people find you. What tweet you've been enjoying, find me Twitter,
Speaker 1: Instagram at Miles of Gray and also on my other
Speaker 1: podcast for twey Day Fiance Talking ninety d Fiance and
Speaker 1: probably um, will you accept this rose? This week to
Speaker 1: talking about the new season of The Bachelor. Matt James,
Speaker 1: everybody's loving him. Let's see a tweet that I like
Speaker 1: is from Steve Hernandez at Big Hern. He's tweeting it
Speaker 1: is so tragically funny to me that all the people
Speaker 1: who think COVID is a hoax believe in God. And
Speaker 1: that cut deep from the former pastor himself, Steve Hernandez.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm uh. Couple of tweets I've been enjoying, uh, Nicole,
Speaker 1: He tweeted imagine and if to increase appreciation for Olympic
Speaker 1: athletes before each sport, they showed an average person attempt
Speaker 1: to perform the sport randomly selected like injury duty. I
Speaker 1: want that to happen. And then Jesus was a Juggalo
Speaker 1: tweeted love that there's like twenty separate photos of Liam
Speaker 1: Neeson pissing himself in public and they're literally they just
Speaker 1: included like four. He's just standing casually around just having
Speaker 1: pissed himself in so many pictures looking very drunk, So
Speaker 1: you know that might be tied to it, but that's
Speaker 1: that's wild. Um. And then James Hamblin tweeted, lots of
Speaker 1: people are feeling unproductive. If you didn't infect anyone today,
Speaker 1: you were productive And I thought that was a good thought.
Speaker 1: Uh to leave y'all with UH. You can find me
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien. You can find us
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. Were at the Daily Zeitgeist
Speaker 1: on Instagram, we have a Facebook fan page and a website,

Speaker 1: out on MILS. What are we riding into Tuesday or
Speaker 1: what are we riding into Wednesday upon This is a
Speaker 1: track from Aquarian Dream and it is just, uh, you know,

Speaker 1: like sample packs, like if you should, you know, download
Speaker 1: these weird things that producers will put together like stuff
Speaker 1: you can kind of sample um And it's got that
Speaker 1: good seventies vibe. I feel like I'm in, like I
Speaker 1: don't know more and more, I feel like Desmond and
Speaker 1: the like the fucking what's that thing? And lost when
Speaker 1: he's down in the fucking bunker and ship and he's
Speaker 1: got to like play the same records and like put
Speaker 1: his fake sunlight on and work out to like make
Speaker 1: feel like the world's going around. This kind of has
Speaker 1: that like Desmond in the Bunker music vibe to it,
Speaker 1: which I'm really loving, even though that I believe that
Speaker 1: song was an original composition for the show. But it
Speaker 1: just has good throwback he vibes and it's a little
Speaker 1: upbeat and it's got some funk to it. So make
Speaker 1: your big toe shoot up in your boot a little bit.
Speaker 1: So put that one on Aquarian Dream. Do you realize,
Speaker 1: all right, we are going to ride out on that.
