Speaker 1: which is really something else the daily bas like are
Speaker 1: we going back to mensa? I really don't have the constitute,
Speaker 1: I mean, but it feels like they're all coming from
Speaker 1: like the same contrarian tree at the very least, like
Speaker 1: where it's saying it's about vacations, but the more you look,
Speaker 1: you're like, is this really about vacations and COVID or
Speaker 1: just this superiority complex or can't tell me never what
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be about. Every Yeah, then we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some some you know, some deception going on
Speaker 1: at Disney World, Disneyland, you know, some subtrifuge happening on
Speaker 1: the on the on their in their photographs, as well
Speaker 1: as just a touch with the new Zoro reboots, because
Speaker 1: there's you know, it's the time, it's the decade of
Speaker 1: reboots and it's it continues. Uh. But before we get
Speaker 1: to all that, we have to welcome our guests. Someone
Speaker 1: who was quite literally going to be on the show,
Speaker 1: uh in mid March, and then right at the last minute,
Speaker 1: was like emailed us and was like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: actually you know, I'm from the UK and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: it probably better for me to go home, you know,
Speaker 1: given this seems like this pandemic thing is happening. But
Speaker 1: we got her back, Thank the Lord. Uh, please welcome, Oh,
Speaker 1: just one of our favorite people to talk to, our
Speaker 1: favorite Norwegian Scottish person, Katia Well, Um, your Norwegian, right,
Speaker 1: that was I got it right now, Norwegian American family
Speaker 1: from there, you got the whole Benetton family. Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1: The chances are I could say any smattering of countries
Speaker 1: and it would probably resonate with you. So yeah. I
Speaker 1: was once introduced on stage is the the Irish Canadian
Speaker 1: Swedish girl. I was like so close, close but not
Speaker 1: quite just to just to your world by one degree
Speaker 1: in the right country, whole line, yeah exactly. Oh well,
Speaker 1: what's new are you? Are you in Europe at the moment?
Speaker 1: I'm in London right now? Yea shout out to London
Speaker 1: now and darn yes in noores to bury here. I
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes when I've been in the UK for
Speaker 1: a while, like hearing you guys speak like with your
Speaker 1: American accents, like it feels like such a comfort that
Speaker 1: I miss so much, like that l A. I don't know,
Speaker 1: just yeah yeah, and there's just like such a different
Speaker 1: culture in the UK. I just had an audition today
Speaker 1: where I had to get someone in the UK to
Speaker 1: read with an American accent because this was like UK
Speaker 1: morning time, which everyone in l A that I would
Speaker 1: know would be asleep, and it was so hard to
Speaker 1: find someone that could do an American accent. And I
Speaker 1: put a thing out on Instagram asking can anyone and
Speaker 1: I ended up being such a fun thing. Oh great,
Speaker 1: and then might yeah this is British phones until the
Speaker 1: other person then the other rooms, was like, Okay, there
Speaker 1: we go. I actually just um signed with an l
Speaker 1: A manager And while he was we were doing our
Speaker 1: zoom meeting deciding like if we should um like work together,
Speaker 1: his kids came in on the meeting as he was
Speaker 1: like trying to be like, yeah, I'd like to work
Speaker 1: with you, and it reminded me of that video that
Speaker 1: went viral of like the journalist and then and they
Speaker 1: like yeah, that literally happened the kids and nanny was
Speaker 1: like no, because yeah, but no, it's really nice to
Speaker 1: speak to you guys, to talk to you too. It's
Speaker 1: I truly, I cannot I can't recall the last time
Speaker 1: and I've heard anyone say they missed hearing an American accent.
Speaker 1: I was like wow, especially the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: especially Yeah. Yeah, I think when my dad's Americans, there's
Speaker 1: like a comfort. It's like a familial comfort. But I
Speaker 1: know there is that cliche. But I think now more
Speaker 1: like when we see Americans in the UK, we're kind
Speaker 1: of like, are you guys okay? I know you've had
Speaker 1: a rough work, because yeah, we were like the trash
Speaker 1: like losers, Like everyone's like, oh man, like it was
Speaker 1: a lie. This whole time, those poor bastards, right, you know,
Speaker 1: the actual dogshit this whole time. It's like what some
Speaker 1: of us did, and we were the ones that they
Speaker 1: were calling radical or whatever. But how has the sort
Speaker 1: of pandemic been treating you from the lens of being
Speaker 1: in Europe and your own experience. Well, so, like you said,
Speaker 1: I was meant to do your podcast, and then um
Speaker 1: Trump was saying that he was going to ban anyone
Speaker 1: leaving the country. So I was like, oh, I gotta
Speaker 1: get out of here. So um so I boot the
Speaker 1: flight back to the UK within like a week's notice
Speaker 1: or something, and I end up catching coronavirus on the flight.
Speaker 1: There's so many people coughing. Yeah, yeah, And I was
Speaker 1: in bed for two weeks sick, and then I got
Speaker 1: concussion a week after I recovered. I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I feel like um COVID from me. Like I like
Speaker 1: I had all the breathing issues and pain and my
Speaker 1: kidneys and my whole body was just like wiped out.
Speaker 1: But I also felt kind of like a little disorientated.
Speaker 1: Like it sounds so stupid, but like you know, like
Speaker 1: if you walk through a door, you walk in the middle.
Speaker 1: But for some reason. After having COVID for like a
Speaker 1: week or two, I would like, it's like my sense
Speaker 1: of direction was off and I would like walk and
Speaker 1: just my elbow would hit it. And then so one
Speaker 1: night I had the bathroom door closed, which I like
Speaker 1: never do, and I like had just really good news
Speaker 1: the night before I went to bed, So I was
Speaker 1: like I woke up in the morning just like so good,
Speaker 1: like so happy, and smashed my face on the door
Speaker 1: because it was closed, which it never is. So yeah,
Speaker 1: then I was a concussed for a week. That's how
Speaker 1: you can cussed yourself, because because you had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a fog from COVID for sure. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and then I had that long COVID. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: so I unfortunately I've still had like, um yeah, chest
Speaker 1: pains and kidney stuff off. But apart from that, like
Speaker 1: it comes in waves like right now, I feel completely fine.
Speaker 1: And and then I was find like a few months ago,
Speaker 1: and then every now and then I'm like this has
Speaker 1: never happened before. I'm sorry to hear that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird, but um yeah, just trying to yeah, eat healthy,
Speaker 1: do I can, and hope I hope nothing happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean a note to all of us that yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's no no level of safety that we can
Speaker 1: take or precaution we can take when it comes to Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I actually got stuck up in Edinburgh during the
Speaker 1: lockdown in the UK um and then news articles we're
Speaker 1: all just like, you know, like this is an apocalypse,
Speaker 1: the world's ending, And I'm so glad that I was
Speaker 1: staying right by the ocean, like by the water, because
Speaker 1: I was kind of just like I look out the
Speaker 1: window and be like, well, the waves are still waving.
Speaker 1: Like life finds a way that was like are still here? Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: Like I can't get those l a edible So it's
Speaker 1: like I've got my UK waves. I mean, yeah, if
Speaker 1: you need to, if you want a bit of a
Speaker 1: snide package sent to you, as we'll say, we'll leave
Speaker 1: that there because I'm not an international drugs trafficker or
Speaker 1: am I who's just merely pretending to be a podcast host.
Speaker 1: The most uninteresting action film you've ever seen, the worst
Speaker 1: long con. You what does he do? He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's dodgy. He sends edibles to people in Scotland. You
Speaker 1: guys got Iron Brew. The last time I was on
Speaker 1: the podcast from we had the Brew. Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: to have the Iron Brew, which delicious like bubble to
Speaker 1: the Brew. Okay, well caught you. Let's let's dive in
Speaker 1: a little bit with you and see what's going on
Speaker 1: with you. What's something from your search history that's revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are or who you have become? Yes,
Speaker 1: you have who you're leaving behind? Yeah, okay, so this
Speaker 1: kind of answers all of them. Um so I recently
Speaker 1: I just looked at it today. Most all my searches
Speaker 1: just the last few weeks have been like and it
Speaker 1: would literally just be like one name. It would be
Speaker 1: like Jennifer Inison, Millennia Trump, Olivia Coleman, Miley Cyrus and
Speaker 1: that's all it is. It's just different names of celebrities,
Speaker 1: which I think any detective would be like, what it's
Speaker 1: because I've been filming a bunch of impressions videos and um,
Speaker 1: I like a video doing a bunch of like different
Speaker 1: voices and stuff, and I just sometimes would just literally
Speaker 1: google the name to be like, oh, yeah, that's how
Speaker 1: they hold their mouths, or that's how their how their
Speaker 1: shoulders are, or that's like how I should do their makeup. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, my search history is just like one name,
Speaker 1: random celebrity who's been the most difficult person to do
Speaker 1: an impression of. I Actually I was going to try
Speaker 1: because I mean, you're a really solid impression is so
Speaker 1: I'm curious of what do you struggle with? Um, I
Speaker 1: just tried. So I filmed this I feel in this
Speaker 1: twenty six Voices video and I ruined my voice the
Speaker 1: next day and I was just like then trying to
Speaker 1: film a video doing Mariah Carey and I was like, like,
Speaker 1: there's no way it was gonna happen. I just yeah,
Speaker 1: there was just no way I could reach that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there's just like and men, I find it
Speaker 1: hard to be sound sounds like a man. Sometimes. If
Speaker 1: only I could do men, then I could do everyone.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, for sure. Like if there's someone that I
Speaker 1: haven't tried out yet, then it's kind of just trying
Speaker 1: to find the hook and um, what's the kind of
Speaker 1: angle or who am I gonna? Yeah, how am I
Speaker 1: going to do this person? Voices? When I remember people
Speaker 1: like a lot of friends were passing around at the time,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, because the question went viral, you know,
Speaker 1: legit viral video that was so good. Oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: was great and I was like, oh that's Katya. No, like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean. They're like, oh, that's the Homing fool.
Speaker 1: You don't know my podcast before coronavirus. We almost hung
Speaker 1: out in London during the World Cup, so yeah, proof,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well I have to maybe I'll look at
Speaker 1: my old text messages. You might see something I was saying.
Speaker 1: I'm like going to Brixton or something. But um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was every time I did this podcast, you always
Speaker 1: bring that up, like we almost hungry almost. I know,
Speaker 1: it was just there was. Yeah, I think it would
Speaker 1: have been fun because of the World Cup and I
Speaker 1: think you're going to catch an England match. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be fun. But for some reason in my memory,
Speaker 1: I for some reason have this memory of seeing you
Speaker 1: in London. But I totally that didn't happen. No, no,
Speaker 1: almost now a miss Connections podcast, but we squarely know
Speaker 1: each other very well. Darnet. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually bumped into jack um Um where was it the grove? Um?
Speaker 1: It was one time. Yeah, when I before I left
Speaker 1: Hown actually, and I wrote that trolley with him and
Speaker 1: his kids. The car that goes through the grove. I
Speaker 1: don't know why the image of Jack at the grove
Speaker 1: is so funny to me, it is. Picturing Jack at
Speaker 1: the grove makes me laugh because we all think of
Speaker 1: Jack as like not just going to the grove, like
Speaker 1: in our minds, he's like reading books or not doing
Speaker 1: the hyper consumer ship, like being like, oh I had
Speaker 1: to go to Yankee Candle company, like Jack loitering outside
Speaker 1: of a factory, like it makes sense and it doesn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he's more he has his head in like the
Speaker 1: serious ship. Like the most jokey thing I can see
Speaker 1: him doing is like yo, I caught him at that
Speaker 1: Mountain Ducon. It's like, okay, that's that's more like on
Speaker 1: brand for him. But like the grove on a trolley, No,
Speaker 1: the grove on a trolley, not to our Jack paint that.
Speaker 1: The first time I actually met Jack was doing when
Speaker 1: he did Cracked, that podcast Cracked, and we were actually
Speaker 1: talking about Mountain Jew like how it's illegal in the
Speaker 1: v K. I think it's still illegal. I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but because of there's like so many products in the
Speaker 1: UK that aren't allowed that are sorry, that are legal
Speaker 1: in America, but aren't allowed in the UK because of
Speaker 1: the contents. What's funny is like this stuff that in
Speaker 1: the EU and UK that we can't get here is
Speaker 1: because we'd rather up charge people for a prescription and
Speaker 1: not have it over the counter. Like that's like the
Speaker 1: part Like on the other side, it's like, no, we
Speaker 1: don't want people to have yellow number five die in
Speaker 1: Europe because it's not good for you. And the US
Speaker 1: is like, hold on, man, is that is that cold
Speaker 1: medicine going to actually knock your fucking cold out? Oh no, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't have that. We can't. That's too strong. That's
Speaker 1: too strong. You need to you need to go through
Speaker 1: an insurance company for that. Stark differences, Katya, What is
Speaker 1: something that you think is underrated? Underrated? Um? Okay, So
Speaker 1: at the start of Lockdown, Um, I started learning Spanish
Speaker 1: on due Lingo because I was like, when I get
Speaker 1: back to l A, I want to be able to
Speaker 1: speak Spanish. And and I'm actually love it. I'm now
Speaker 1: on a two D and thirty three days streak like
Speaker 1: a total nerd. Yeah, I've been doing it the whole time,
Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't know. I keep telling people
Speaker 1: that I'm doing Joe lingo and everyone's like that's rubbish,
Speaker 1: like you're not going to learn anything, and I'm so
Speaker 1: I can't believe how much Spanish I've learned from it.
Speaker 1: But then anytime someone tries to have a conversation with me,
Speaker 1: I can think of is it's his apples, Like that's
Speaker 1: thing is, Like I get too nervous because I've not
Speaker 1: had it in conversation, but on the app I'm like
Speaker 1: a whiz, Yeah, I do a lingle see Joe a
Speaker 1: friend pro Joe. No, I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Full disclosure. I had to use Google Translate to ask you,
Speaker 1: why do why did you choose to? Oh? Yeah, when
Speaker 1: we talk about learning foreign languages, you know there's an
Speaker 1: embargo on I'm a Rosetta's stonehead. I'm old school call
Speaker 1: mer fashion, but I use the old. No, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I'm I don't know anything, and
Speaker 1: all my Spanish is second hand, just from osmosis. I'm
Speaker 1: It's funny because I have the babble app that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to learn more Spanish with, but I just can't
Speaker 1: get my street going. Yeah, I know that was the
Speaker 1: exact same as me, but that's like all of Lockdown. Yes,
Speaker 1: so the only way I've managed to do it is
Speaker 1: first thing when I wake up. It's the first thing
Speaker 1: I do. Otherwise I just I would never be able
Speaker 1: to keep a day streak because you just do other
Speaker 1: things and you just get loose track of time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I can't believe it. Um, that's probably the
Speaker 1: only thing I've ever managed to do that for that
Speaker 1: long in my life. Wait, why Spanish? It was just
Speaker 1: because of l A or did you have any other
Speaker 1: connections with Spanish through your life. I went to Mexico
Speaker 1: in January, actually right before Lockdown and connection. I love
Speaker 1: Mexico um, but also I love tacos and Mexican food
Speaker 1: so much. But when I was in l A, I
Speaker 1: was so embarrassed because I asked for It's like the pork,
Speaker 1: but a certain type of pork begins with a seat
Speaker 1: which I can't remember carnitas, but I always forget what
Speaker 1: it is. And I accidentally said, can I have the
Speaker 1: pork kinson era? And he was like, you want a party?
Speaker 1: And after that I was just like, I need to
Speaker 1: learn Spanish now, I know, I know, thank you. He
Speaker 1: was really nice, But you want a year old pork,
Speaker 1: just that term fifteen years old and we're having a
Speaker 1: party for I know, I was mortivied. And that's when
Speaker 1: I was like, I mean, if I'm going to go
Speaker 1: to l A, I'm learning Spanish. Yeah, you gotta have that.
Speaker 1: I mean, like no angel can walk around with you
Speaker 1: gotta have some Spanish in the back pox because yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good for you. Don't want to be on these
Speaker 1: trash people who's like I don't give a ship. You
Speaker 1: should have known what I meant, and you know, exactly right.
Speaker 1: You internalized the guilt and now are learning the entire
Speaker 1: language to bottom. You come back and you're speaking like
Speaker 1: Castilian and they're like, I'm sorry, Yeah, I really hope
Speaker 1: I see the same guy and I can just like
Speaker 1: wow him and like just say, like sing a Spanish
Speaker 1: song or something apology poem. It ends up backfiring, like
Speaker 1: this felt very patronizing and actually so I actually don't
Speaker 1: want to serve you anymore. But that's good. You know,
Speaker 1: shout out to anybody learning languages, especially like later on
Speaker 1: in life, because like it really does help your brain,
Speaker 1: like you want to keep that shift fresh, like you
Speaker 1: gotta do a new ship like that and test. It
Speaker 1: definitely love hearing that caught you. What's something that you
Speaker 1: think is over Um I know some people. I know
Speaker 1: people love it, but I find Instagram Live a little
Speaker 1: bit overrated. Okay, so, um, I just saw Farrell. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying this because I literally just saw this. Um,
Speaker 1: Ferrell Williams went Instagram Live and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't that's so cool. But for just ten minutes,
Speaker 1: you just see it's like that selfie angle, just them
Speaker 1: staring at their phone going shout out to Albania. And then,
Speaker 1: because the thing is, the videos get saved on their profile,
Speaker 1: so if you're ever going to watch that video again,
Speaker 1: it's like the worst ten minutes of content ever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then um yeah, I did an Instagram Live like
Speaker 1: it was the first time I've ever done one, and
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they were filmed. And then on
Speaker 1: the like I thought it was kind of like doing
Speaker 1: a podcast type of thing where it's like, okay, it's
Speaker 1: done so in the ether no one will see, and
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, cool, it's gonna be in my profile.
Speaker 1: And suddenly I was like also uf conscious, like oh
Speaker 1: my god, like that's there forever and I just thought
Speaker 1: it was a fleeting moment. Um. Yeah, my, I wish.
Speaker 1: I wish that people doing Instagram live shows would make
Speaker 1: that we can all as a community make the rule
Speaker 1: that you just don't save it, like, don't save it.
Speaker 1: I don't want people election, So I will say. The
Speaker 1: only thing that I have heard that has been awesome
Speaker 1: from like this is a Facebook live I think was
Speaker 1: um and this is just a story I heard. But
Speaker 1: as far as I know, there's this comic in l
Speaker 1: a Buddy Das. I think I don't know if you guys. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: I heard that he had his laptop stolen and he
Speaker 1: was able to track where his laptop had been stolen,
Speaker 1: and he went on Facebook live, um, and they found
Speaker 1: out it was like some homeless people under a bridge
Speaker 1: had stolen it. So us he was on Facebook live
Speaker 1: like to have witnesses, he went and got his laptop back.
Speaker 1: That's the only time I've ever heard like an awesome
Speaker 1: Facebook live story. Yeah. Aside from that, I'm just like
Speaker 1: I don't want to see someone's selfie angle just staring
Speaker 1: at going oh hello, Germany, Like there are the lives
Speaker 1: that are just purely like there there's a few different
Speaker 1: buckets I feel like there's ones where people are like
Speaker 1: doing a show for people and like that's one version.
Speaker 1: Then there's like the like someone actually going on a
Speaker 1: type that are like tend to go when the celebrities,
Speaker 1: and then they are ones that are just so blatantly
Speaker 1: like for the person's ego, where you're like you just
Speaker 1: went live and are looking at yourself and then like
Speaker 1: waving checking out, You're like looking at yourself being like
Speaker 1: what up. There are some it depends on when celebrities
Speaker 1: go live. It so depends on who it is too,
Speaker 1: because it's like you could end up with a Vanessa
Speaker 1: Hudgens situation, or you could someone who is fun when
Speaker 1: they go live, and at least when I like two
Speaker 1: celebrities that I usually watched when they go live is
Speaker 1: Anthony Hopkins because he usually doesn't I'm so sorry, sir,
Speaker 1: Anthony Hopkins. He's got his cat on top of his
Speaker 1: piano and he just goes like he's just playing songs.
Speaker 1: It's very peaceful. And then l Keith Stanfeld does very
Speaker 1: chaotic Instagram lives where he will like have fans like
Speaker 1: request to join and then he'll just talk to them.
Speaker 1: And so there was I watched this really it went
Speaker 1: on for ever, and I'm like, I wonder if everyone
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just had this shared memory with
Speaker 1: whoever was watching that. But there was like a woman
Speaker 1: in Oregon who was like, like, Keith, I want to
Speaker 1: show you my chicken farm, and he was like okay,
Speaker 1: and then it was this long like she couldn't find
Speaker 1: the chickens, and I think he wanted to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, but he kind of felt bad, and
Speaker 1: so he's like, find the chickens and it went on forever.
Speaker 1: That's also funny too, and you're like, oh, like he's
Speaker 1: a good dude for letting this go on, but you're
Speaker 1: just end it for everyone's saying we like, like, Keith,
Speaker 1: get rid of chicken lady, We're done. Do not. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's hard being a merciful God when you're trying
Speaker 1: to make content. Unfortunately, and I was saying this, I
Speaker 1: feel like every time I talk about like underrated and overrated,
Speaker 1: by the time we've discussed it, I'm like, actually, it's
Speaker 1: not that bad. Well, no, I think I think what
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Farrell being like shout out to
Speaker 1: random putting flag emojis, and it's like, what is the
Speaker 1: point of that? Because I'm a huge Farrell fan, um like,
Speaker 1: because I love the Neptunes, like all the music they made.
Speaker 1: Is like just I'm just stuck in my brain like
Speaker 1: I would if he goes live. I'm like, please give
Speaker 1: me some insights, Please reveal something. Don't just like wave
Speaker 1: and be like you don't check out the new Adidas
Speaker 1: collab I did with Louis Vatton. I'm like, come on, bro,
Speaker 1: like give me some fucking facts, some information. Not for
Speaker 1: his age, Like he's one of those people that people
Speaker 1: suspect he's a vampire just because he has aged. I
Speaker 1: know him and Mario Lopez, you know Lopez, Paul Rudd,
Speaker 1: they all have. When you think that him and Joe
Speaker 1: Buck from Fox Sports are we're classmates, You're like, damn
Speaker 1: full y'all are like on opposite ends now, were like Joe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: lost of it. Okay, Well, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and get into some stories after
Speaker 1: this and we're back and let's uh, let's, I guess,
Speaker 1: bring our attentions over to the White House, as we
Speaker 1: you know, and for all the talk of like is
Speaker 1: what's Trump gonna do it seems like he was the
Speaker 1: logistically looks like he will physically leave Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Like all the movements we're seeing in his own world
Speaker 1: and preparations being made in either direction, it seems like
Speaker 1: that's happening, although we don't know what he's still capable
Speaker 1: of because the lawsuit track is definitely being extinguished fully
Speaker 1: and curious to know what now he's going to resort
Speaker 1: to to try and upend the election, which is a
Speaker 1: whole other discussion which we will only probably see play
Speaker 1: out horrifically in real time over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: But who knows. He may he may lose the appetite
Speaker 1: and just go to Russia because it seems like they're
Speaker 1: offering him a way out. But anyway, but that said,
Speaker 1: he has yeah, we're talking on yesterday's show about Russian
Speaker 1: state media is basically openly extending an invitation and saying
Speaker 1: the government should actually offer him asylum because he will
Speaker 1: be prosecuted in the United States. They're literally like, do
Speaker 1: you want to be our new We have a job
Speaker 1: position open for resputing for century respute and if you
Speaker 1: care to roll through twenty century respute in man. Uh,
Speaker 1: there is comes in a skateboard and it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: You're like, is this it is one of those things?
Speaker 1: And like we're saying yesterday Jamie, like, he'd be way
Speaker 1: more effective as a tool of propaganda if he's fully
Speaker 1: enveloped in Russia like by whatever they need, because from
Speaker 1: there he can they be like we have him here
Speaker 1: and he sends messages to them there and it's actually
Speaker 1: the most effective thing we've ever had or cultivated, actually,
Speaker 1: because they tried it with you know, Steven Seagal and
Speaker 1: we all just ignored him. Unfortunately. I think they took
Speaker 1: a big swing thinking like, well, if Steven Seagal is
Speaker 1: an honorary you know, Russian of repute, uh, something will happen.
Speaker 1: But it didn't. But either way, the White House itself
Speaker 1: in the moment while we were speaking, is a grimy
Speaker 1: cesspit that is probably grimer than a ray of porta
Speaker 1: potty um. And with all like the anti science, anti handwashing,
Speaker 1: non mask wearing nonsense that goes on in their daily Yes,
Speaker 1: if I were the person who was moving in next,
Speaker 1: I would I would want more than yo, like burn
Speaker 1: it the fun down. Honestly, Yeah, is that an option.
Speaker 1: Can we go take it to the fucking studs on this. Honestly, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would. It would be cathartic to see it. I
Speaker 1: mean I think for everybody, everyone, you need an exterminator. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I feel like that might help everybody feel good. Like
Speaker 1: I think everyone might bring their own thing. Like if
Speaker 1: you're just straight lib you want to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: fuck Trump's White House. You're a Trumper being like yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden can't live there. If you're a little more
Speaker 1: like on the left, you're like the man that ship
Speaker 1: was built by slaves in his bullshit, get that ship
Speaker 1: out of here, you know, like there's everybody would rejoice,
Speaker 1: but we digress. Just call Eco lap Well, we'll just
Speaker 1: throw out the idea. You know, if anyone wants to
Speaker 1: wants to do it, you know we're doing Hey Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: we're open to it. We're open to it. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: could get someone with a sage California sage stick, just
Speaker 1: like this needs some better positive energy, right right. I
Speaker 1: mean it would make sense because that's already like cultural appropriation.
Speaker 1: So on top of that within the White House, like
Speaker 1: let's layer it on. I want someone to take a
Speaker 1: flamethrower to Milannia's Christmas decorations. Like there's so many beautiful possibilities.
Speaker 1: That's cathartic, you know, like everyone can come in and
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of the White House however they
Speaker 1: want to. It's like, look, you get a sledgehammer in
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, Um, do whatever the funk you want, and
Speaker 1: then we'll just do it like that to kind of
Speaker 1: begin some kind of cathartic process for people. But so
Speaker 1: one of the strongest indications now that he will be
Speaker 1: leaving is that there's this whole story that Team Biden
Speaker 1: is going to disinfect the funk out of the White House.
Speaker 1: But before they move in h this Political article they're
Speaker 1: talking about, Biden's transition team will have the White House
Speaker 1: fully cleaned by General Service Services Administration staffers hours after
Speaker 1: Trump leaves the building. Spokesper person for the g s
Speaker 1: A told Political that the staffers will quote thoroughly clean
Speaker 1: and disinfect every area of the East and West wings
Speaker 1: that people have touched, including furniture and door knobs, and
Speaker 1: a private contractor will also be brought in for quote
Speaker 1: disinfectant missing services. Fair enough. Yeah, no matter where you
Speaker 1: fall on, Biden fair enough. Yeah, no one's been like yeah,
Speaker 1: I would clean the funk out of that too, Like,
Speaker 1: no one that seems in across the board thing. Uh,
Speaker 1: you want it clean after seeing how these people have
Speaker 1: been operating in there. He's got to live there, that's unfortunate. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Would you do one of those shows you know where
Speaker 1: they like black out the lights and then use like
Speaker 1: a light and just like look at all these stains,
Speaker 1: here's all the pick of black Oh yeah, black light? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, No, I couldn't, Like no, I'll be
Speaker 1: like re traumatized just all over. I feel like they'd
Speaker 1: just be like a trump mark, like a trump but
Speaker 1: that line, it's like me, it marks just all in
Speaker 1: the world. Brute. They're like, yeah, we have to actually
Speaker 1: throw everything out that human skin is touched in this place. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: you know that was I was hoping for the best,
Speaker 1: but we do have to burn it down. There's just unfortunate. Um.
Speaker 1: But like you know, a lot of this is coming
Speaker 1: on the like the suggestions I think of the you know,
Speaker 1: accepted medical knowledge in the world. But Nicole Lourie, who
Speaker 1: was one of Biden's covide COVID nineteen advisors, Uh, was
Speaker 1: basically saying that like, this operation in the White House
Speaker 1: will quote be the polar opposite of what you're seeing
Speaker 1: now in terms of like you'll you'll need to wear masks,
Speaker 1: like we will be socially distancing. We actually acknowledge that
Speaker 1: there's a pandemic, but it's interesting to hear that and
Speaker 1: using a line from a COVID nineteen advisor about what
Speaker 1: is best because you know, we're all we're always going
Speaker 1: to take a look at what is actually happening with
Speaker 1: the Biden administration because the stakes are very high right now.
Speaker 1: And as we were saying, as we pinched our noses
Speaker 1: to go to the polls, just to sort of give
Speaker 1: a slight uh delayed to autocracy in this country. Um,
Speaker 1: he kept saying, I'll listen to the scientists. The science
Speaker 1: will guide what we do with this pandemic. I will listen,
Speaker 1: and people like fuck yeah, because, uh, you know, when
Speaker 1: we look around at the countries that are doing better,
Speaker 1: you're like, it's because they the leaders of the country said,
Speaker 1: we acknowledge that we don't know anything about this. That's
Speaker 1: why we are consulting the people who it's their you know,
Speaker 1: their bag, their expertise, to tell us about this, so
Speaker 1: you know, for the last nine months, I will say
Speaker 1: that experts have said that a lockdown truly is one
Speaker 1: of the only ways that we can get the virus
Speaker 1: to a manageable level since Americans especially literally don't know
Speaker 1: how to act. Um. We just there's no sense of
Speaker 1: duty to each other in this country. Unfortunately, the culture
Speaker 1: is too much about the self that we it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a very uniquely fucked up American way of
Speaker 1: handling things. And Dr Michael Osterholm, who has been a
Speaker 1: very outspoken of like you know, expert on all of this,
Speaker 1: who's been really great to listen to because he's probably
Speaker 1: one of the clearest people. He doesn't mince his words.
Speaker 1: He likes to be very direct and like let people
Speaker 1: know how bad it can be, why it can get
Speaker 1: that bad, and realistically what needs to be done. He
Speaker 1: was advocating for four to six weeks shutdowns um along
Speaker 1: with the government and many other experts, saying we need
Speaker 1: like a four to six weeks shutdown, and you should
Speaker 1: actually pay people so they can stay at home. That
Speaker 1: way we can achieve maximum compliance because right now we're
Speaker 1: doing this thing where it's like we'll stay inside. But
Speaker 1: also like, if you can't work, that's not my problem,
Speaker 1: but you better stay inside and don't ask me for
Speaker 1: a fucking dime. What do you think I am the
Speaker 1: government that you pay taxes to and I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: help you out on behalf not funk that. That's the
Speaker 1: weird situation we're in. And right it's like, oh wait
Speaker 1: that ship that people have been asking for us from
Speaker 1: literally moment one, like that that's back now cool? Can
Speaker 1: I just check? Just sorry as the outsider. Um, So,
Speaker 1: as far as I know, you guys got paychecks the
Speaker 1: first lockdown, but is there not there's not been any
Speaker 1: more famous payment? Uh seven months ago? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: there was obviously there were some beefed up unemployment benefits,
Speaker 1: but also people's benefits are running out so many people, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so many people aren't able to even access that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's the problem is caught you, um, and you
Speaker 1: probably you lost a bit of your American nous by
Speaker 1: being in the UK. You have to put yourself up
Speaker 1: by your fucking bootstraps here um, and if you can't
Speaker 1: make it work, um, then honestly expendable. Yeah, Like, if
Speaker 1: you can't work and you can't make it work, then
Speaker 1: this isn't going to work for us. It's sort of
Speaker 1: the mentality here, and it sucks. I know. I feel
Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm out there, yea, and I feel like
Speaker 1: we're already we're already seeing with the transition that's taking
Speaker 1: place now that it's like, you know, we we knew
Speaker 1: we were voting for scraps, but it's like the scraps
Speaker 1: are becoming apparent. We can't even get you know, it's
Speaker 1: like there are currently arguments going on to get Americans
Speaker 1: six hundred dollar checks maybe if you're fucking lucky, and
Speaker 1: that's what the Biden administration is brought to the table. Well,
Speaker 1: we're doing like a seven hundred billion dollar defense fucking
Speaker 1: spending bills, and you think, and you look at the
Speaker 1: fucking numbers, there's about eighty billion dollars of outstanding rent
Speaker 1: and doing this country. What if you just lopped that
Speaker 1: off and just said we're starting fucking over and you
Speaker 1: know this, we need to rethink this. But it's too
Speaker 1: which is pro people, but that's not yeah, but this
Speaker 1: is never going to happen. It really was this lure
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, we're gonna do the right thing, Ah, Yanks,
Speaker 1: this is still America. We're just somewhere blue hats, somewhere
Speaker 1: red hats. Let's get an air b and be executive
Speaker 1: in the cabinet. Let's get Mr right theon in here.
Speaker 1: Lets but he is a man of color, So try
Speaker 1: and look past that, which is like the thing that
Speaker 1: they're doing, which is like, so even though we have
Speaker 1: a board member of RAI theon coming into the Secretary
Speaker 1: of Defense role when most were like, we need more
Speaker 1: civilian oversight of the military, not in generals. Um, they're
Speaker 1: like a lot of the argument being pedals, like, well
Speaker 1: it is the you know, he's African American man and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. It's like right, but you can't just say,
Speaker 1: you can't just use like you're just diversifying the look
Speaker 1: of oppression. That's all it is. You're not actually it's
Speaker 1: not real diverse. You just diversifying the look of the system.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we digress. We've been talking about lockdowns. Everyone's
Speaker 1: been saying lockdowns. Dr Fauci has been talking about lockdowns,
Speaker 1: how they're fucking effective. You know, we for all the
Speaker 1: love we send a New Zealand they did a lockdown
Speaker 1: these other countries that are getting like in Asia other places,
Speaker 1: lockdowns while also looking after the people to be able
Speaker 1: to achieve the compliance and also you know, as a
Speaker 1: duty to your citizens to take care of them. They're
Speaker 1: doing those things. Yeah, and we're like, oh shit, Okay,
Speaker 1: So Fauci saying that, Oster Holmes saying that, and Biden's
Speaker 1: out here campaigning on I'll listen to the scientists and
Speaker 1: if they tell me that, and he himself in August
Speaker 1: said if they told me to shut it down, when
Speaker 1: we might have to shut it down, well cut two.
Speaker 1: Buying in is president and not doing anything that he
Speaker 1: said he would. Um, he's all these campaign promises. We're
Speaker 1: starting to see these people walk their comments back. Dr
Speaker 1: Fauci is not saying that it's about lockdowns. That we
Speaker 1: can do more targeted, there's other ways to achieve it.
Speaker 1: But Sir, in your capacity, when you were really trying
Speaker 1: to speak loudly with your chest about what is right,
Speaker 1: you said what is right? Dr Ulstra. Holme did the
Speaker 1: same thing when he came out and said we need
Speaker 1: to support workers and like actually shut it down to
Speaker 1: get control over it, not swamp or ice us. Like
Speaker 1: we're doing right now we have to do this. But
Speaker 1: then he got contradicted by two people on Biden's team
Speaker 1: and he himself had to walk that fucking back. So
Speaker 1: it's a very very i think predictable situation because the
Speaker 1: term lockdown um is very scary to people in this
Speaker 1: country is specifically because the government is doing fuck all
Speaker 1: to make it work. You know, it's just being like
Speaker 1: most people just associate lockdown with no work, no money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's on other places where it's like, yeah, no work,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna handle your bills, like, don't sweat that
Speaker 1: because obviously we have a pandemic. We're trying to fight.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. We don't know options for recourse. No,
Speaker 1: So it's just it's so bleak, and and all you
Speaker 1: hear from leaders is like, hang in there. All we're
Speaker 1: asking you is to stay inside, is to stay inside.
Speaker 1: But I mean here, that's not true. It's like there, yes,
Speaker 1: you're being asked to stay in, but for so many
Speaker 1: people it's we're also asking you to just you know,
Speaker 1: become poorer and poorer and at higher risk and at
Speaker 1: higher risk, and we're not going to do anything about it.
Speaker 1: Like it's yeah, and the best they can do is like,
Speaker 1: should we lower healthcare costs for some people since the pandemic,
Speaker 1: because like fourteen million people lost their health insurance, Like
Speaker 1: that's a question. People lost their health insurance? Yeah, through
Speaker 1: being unemployed? Yeah, because you know, because this is if
Speaker 1: you're not producing, you don't get health insurance here. Those
Speaker 1: are kind of the rules. Yeah, and and I mean,
Speaker 1: and the unhoused population is expectedly rising because there's been
Speaker 1: no meaningful freeze put on any evictions, and landlords are
Speaker 1: still allowed to evict people as much as they want to.
Speaker 1: And so it's like you get these draconian that I
Speaker 1: was reading into the like specifics of how the latest
Speaker 1: l A lockdown was phrased, and there was literally like
Speaker 1: a clause and it's saying, you know, unhoused people are
Speaker 1: exempt from having to be inside, and it's like fuck you,
Speaker 1: Like what are we going to do to help people?
Speaker 1: Were not going to We're not gonna yeah, we're not
Speaker 1: going to find you. And it's just like, wait, so
Speaker 1: people are giving tickets out here if you're seen outside,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's just the same as no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not not necessarily, but like if you're if you're having
Speaker 1: like a wild ass party or something, and it's like
Speaker 1: the police show up and like what the funk is this? Sure?
Speaker 1: But it's not. There's no there's really no way for
Speaker 1: any like any municipality to enforce a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, in our first lookdown, if people went
Speaker 1: for like a walkout in nature, but it was like
Speaker 1: way too far from their home, Like say someone from
Speaker 1: England went, I don't know, there's a place called the
Speaker 1: Lake District. It's sort of like be like going from
Speaker 1: like l A to the Grand Canyon. Probably not as far,
Speaker 1: but it's like but it's like that's not as yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: People would count that as like, oh, I'm doing my
Speaker 1: daily exercise. Um, so then they would get tickets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's funny because like even in the UK, you know,
Speaker 1: like Boris Johnson has been going back and forth on
Speaker 1: what to do, and then it's like, well there'll be
Speaker 1: a circuit breaker, lockdown thing will do and you know
Speaker 1: you're all going through the same thing to a lesser degree,
Speaker 1: but at least there is more stringent talk of like
Speaker 1: what to do, but it's this targeted approach thing. When
Speaker 1: you hear that, that's them saying we don't want to
Speaker 1: cut the fucking checks to support people, So we're going
Speaker 1: to do this other thing that allows the corporate donor
Speaker 1: class to continue to make money because we also can't
Speaker 1: freak them out. And also we don't want to say
Speaker 1: lockdown because then that invites right wing outrage, which Democrats are.
Speaker 1: It's like they're Boogeyman, like they can't stand when Republicans
Speaker 1: don't like them. It's so fucked up. Wow, it's all.
Speaker 1: It really is awful here, isn't it. I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: to hear this. It's such it's such an eye opener
Speaker 1: to hear because it's like you you know, you just
Speaker 1: see things for your friends Instagram and stuff, and it's
Speaker 1: like you hear every you know, and then like you know,
Speaker 1: different things being shared, but it's like hearing it, you know,
Speaker 1: like this through through zoom. It's just really eye opening,
Speaker 1: Like just how horrendous. Yeah, well, and it's just it's
Speaker 1: just revealing how awful and toxic and barbaric the culture
Speaker 1: is of governance and just American culture writ large. But
Speaker 1: on the on the bread side, there is like I mean,
Speaker 1: there's to look for bread, like the the I feel
Speaker 1: like the general consciousness around mutual aid and the interest
Speaker 1: in the collective in the US has just really yeah,
Speaker 1: which which is the same in the UK as well,
Speaker 1: like the way that especially in London, people don't know
Speaker 1: their neighbors and now people starting to know their neighbors there.
Speaker 1: And my grandmother actually she lived through um well, she
Speaker 1: was evacuated during the war. She's still alive now she's
Speaker 1: saying about how this reminds her of that camaraderie during
Speaker 1: the war where it's just people look out for each
Speaker 1: other because it's kind of you just have to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it that's what gives me comforted. It is
Speaker 1: like general human nature to want to help each other,
Speaker 1: and it's truly like the Unfortunately the problem are the
Speaker 1: people who are in control. Yeah, because they're living a
Speaker 1: different reality, you know, like they're they're not in a
Speaker 1: situation where they are going to have to humble themselves
Speaker 1: and ask for help or or extend a hand to
Speaker 1: someone else. They're they're surrounded by other people who are
Speaker 1: materially very comfortable and so none of these things are
Speaker 1: going to reach them. So their understanding of it is
Speaker 1: abstract to the point that it's just it's just exacerbating
Speaker 1: all of their failures in general. So, uh, stay tuned
Speaker 1: for more. But yeah, it is true, Like I'm heartened
Speaker 1: to see, especially in a city like l A or
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, everybody's in their cars, nobody gives a
Speaker 1: funk about each other. Like at least in New York,
Speaker 1: you're walking on the street and like near people and
Speaker 1: on the subway. Yeah, hey I'm walking here in New York.
Speaker 1: But here we're driving here and ignoring each other and
Speaker 1: you might not even know who the funk anyone is,
Speaker 1: but I am there. It has been a lot of
Speaker 1: outpouring of support, like you know, my neighbors have like
Speaker 1: just they're putting like more things out for people, Like
Speaker 1: you can see in parts of this city where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: we know the city might not be coming through with aid,
Speaker 1: but there's ways we can help with, you know, shelter
Speaker 1: or food or whatever, or just refrigerators popping up. And
Speaker 1: that's another thing that's happening in the country of like
Speaker 1: these stocked refrigerator the community fridges, And it's been really
Speaker 1: cool because it's now it's becoming like a city program
Speaker 1: as well as of like today they're they're starting to
Speaker 1: you know, widen the program. But it was started by
Speaker 1: regular people who were just like maintaining fridges because there
Speaker 1: has been such a such you know there there was
Speaker 1: such a big issue with rising on house population here anyways,
Speaker 1: and yeah, and so it's like when that was exacerbated
Speaker 1: by the pandemic. It's like just regular people stuffed up.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad. I'm glad it's becoming a bigger program.
Speaker 1: I mean, do I think that the you know, city
Speaker 1: and state government are going to take all the fucking credit.
Speaker 1: Of course they will, But it was a people driven project,
Speaker 1: and now it's actually getting some funding and some some
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully some financing behind it. I mean, I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember when Mayor Garth said he his his father, gil
Speaker 1: Gar said he actually thought this up in the nineties
Speaker 1: and they just hadn't done it yet. But that's that,
Speaker 1: that's what I believe. I think Eric car said he
Speaker 1: thought it up with Oh my god, I snapped that
Speaker 1: man over my fucking knee. I like that guy. Also,
Speaker 1: he couldn't even get a cabinet position. He was doing
Speaker 1: all this angling because you knew he wanted he was
Speaker 1: so horny for the fucking federal government. And then they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to be like some outside advisor groupie, and
Speaker 1: he's like, imagine simping that hard and having everyone in
Speaker 1: your city absolutely hate you and he still accomplished nothing.
Speaker 1: Like he's just truly the biggest loser of all time.
Speaker 1: All Right. So one thing I do want to just
Speaker 1: touch on too, is, uh, you know this culture of
Speaker 1: you know, like I can't be stopped no matter why
Speaker 1: in a pandemic, because I think that's prevalent. I think
Speaker 1: in every country there's a level of denial that I
Speaker 1: think people experience because it's it's a very shitty world
Speaker 1: to think like I'm in a situation where I'm basically
Speaker 1: very out of control of many different things happening. Uh.
Speaker 1: And one of that ways that's manifested, I think isn't
Speaker 1: like these people who vacation a lot despite the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Like I've seen this on my own feeds at time
Speaker 1: to time, from time to time, Like you're in Mexico
Speaker 1: right now, Like you got on a plane and went
Speaker 1: to fucking Cabo right now. When Okay, that happened a
Speaker 1: lot in the summer in the UK. I knew a
Speaker 1: lot of people that went to Spain and um. I
Speaker 1: actually I went to Norway because my friend got married
Speaker 1: during the pandemic and she just said we it's now
Speaker 1: or never. But North Norway was very like it was
Speaker 1: totally it was like much much better than anyone else.
Speaker 1: And that was the weirdest situation was being in Norway.
Speaker 1: I'm Norwegian, I beak Norwegian. The minute I told them
Speaker 1: I'd come from the UK, suddenly I was like everyone
Speaker 1: ran away from me, done the way, um and and um.
Speaker 1: But I was just there for a week or so.
Speaker 1: But that was yeah, the odd thing. Um. Once I
Speaker 1: got there, I felt really sick and I was just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've gotten sick again. Off the flight.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I was fine. Um, but yeah, that was a thing.
Speaker 1: In the summer, there was just that, like you say,
Speaker 1: like that denial where everyone was just like I think
Speaker 1: what we find it's kind of the summer now, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's healthier in the summer. Um, it just means this
Speaker 1: it's warmer. Yeah, yeah, my full body chills are still happening.
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, it's this sort of like it's also
Speaker 1: this like I've never been told no crowd to that
Speaker 1: is what we're seeing really it's like, these are people
Speaker 1: who have never heard the word no and have never
Speaker 1: been told they are not allowed to go somewhere. So
Speaker 1: there's this group. It's kind of like five thousand followers
Speaker 1: um on on Facebook, and it's like this COVID Travelers
Speaker 1: group is what it's called, And it's for people to
Speaker 1: basically avoid persecution for just chasing good vibes during bummer times.
Speaker 1: Um so like and this Daily Beast article is saying,
Speaker 1: but there is quote nothing safe about this space. Instead,
Speaker 1: it's members are looking for ways to circumvent public health
Speaker 1: protocols or avoid them altogether. Members have suggested bribing doctors
Speaker 1: for fake vaccine certificates and forging doctor's notes to avoid
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. One recently compared face coverings to the
Speaker 1: stars Jewish people were forced to wear during the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: Um and they also just trade tips on like where
Speaker 1: you can go without having to wear a mask like
Speaker 1: One user wrote quote, I just arrived in ply Adel
Speaker 1: Carmen in Mexico. The place is full of life and
Speaker 1: easy going. No masks. If you don't want to wear one,
Speaker 1: get out of Europe before you get infected with fear.
Speaker 1: The thing that really showed me was when the pandemic
Speaker 1: was going and I find American media Like when I
Speaker 1: was still out in l A, my friend's dad was
Speaker 1: listening to the news constantly and I found it so
Speaker 1: um terrifying, just constantly here. But it was also as
Speaker 1: everything was developing, you know, just that we were finding
Speaker 1: everything out, and it wasn't until it got to the
Speaker 1: UK and hearing just the BBC compared to um, the
Speaker 1: American media, it was just such so different. Like I
Speaker 1: left l A, everyone was wearing face masks in the airport.
Speaker 1: I got to the UK, I was the only person
Speaker 1: wearing a face mask in the airport and people and
Speaker 1: it was then in the UK where people were um
Speaker 1: only allowed to wear masks if you had the virus.
Speaker 1: So it's just so interesting just how the fear in
Speaker 1: the U S news was so much more than in
Speaker 1: the UK. Right, But then on the other side too,
Speaker 1: there are people being like, don't worry, it's a hoax.
Speaker 1: So it's like yeah, yeah, yeahs are pulled. Is this hell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, truly, if they're not going to
Speaker 1: give us another check, the least the Biden administration can
Speaker 1: do is just like blow up every Facebook server on
Speaker 1: the fucking planet, Like, what what the a story with
Speaker 1: a Facebook group? Never? Ever, when has it ever ended? Well? Never? No, no,
Speaker 1: I mean people have had to do full podcast deep
Speaker 1: dive investigations. Oh yeah, this is a comical use of
Speaker 1: air horn. I mean genius use of air horn. Airhorn.
Speaker 1: I mean, you check it up. It's my ear in mensa.
Speaker 1: It's just it does blow my mind though, because it's
Speaker 1: just like Facebook is just a place where parents get radicalized,
Speaker 1: like that is that is just for selfish dick heads
Speaker 1: to trade tips. Yeah you know what I mean, ultimately
Speaker 1: can zoom out and it's always just like a place
Speaker 1: for selfish dick heads, you know, and they'll figure they
Speaker 1: they sort of go off into their corners whatever specific
Speaker 1: version of dick heaterry is the selfish has Miles. I
Speaker 1: think he meant rugged individualists. That's why language. That was
Speaker 1: the thing that I was trying to say. It was
Speaker 1: like the American media was so terrifying. But my friend
Speaker 1: in l A still kept going, I just need to
Speaker 1: live my life, Like I just keep like, why can
Speaker 1: I not live my life? And it's just like freaking
Speaker 1: kidding me. It really made me aware of friends, really
Speaker 1: lived my life, sure, like do you mom? But like
Speaker 1: it is? I mean, I think it's all levels of
Speaker 1: how much you want to avoid acknowledging the collective pain
Speaker 1: our world is experiencing at the moment um, and how
Speaker 1: willing you are to engage with that and feel empathy
Speaker 1: and sorrow and wanting to envision something better. Um. And
Speaker 1: then you know, they spoke to this guy who started
Speaker 1: is this German dude who has like a boat that's
Speaker 1: like named Stateless in Germany, and he's like this very
Speaker 1: you know what. You can imagine a guy who started
Speaker 1: a Facebook group for people to trade, you know, underhanded
Speaker 1: COVID travel tips. He's he calls it, quote it's a
Speaker 1: safe space for those people who are bullied in the mainstream.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's dangerous. I think freedom of
Speaker 1: speech is much more important than dangerous effects evolving from it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk that means. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a lot of words. Later on he posted in like
Speaker 1: the group, He's like, I just spoke somebody in the
Speaker 1: Daily Beast, uh and was saying that this is going
Speaker 1: to be quote a great propaganda piece and that the
Speaker 1: journalist quote was not very happy about this safe space. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can say one thing and mean the other.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting even in this group they're not even
Speaker 1: stoked about the prospect of a fucking vaccine, which I
Speaker 1: think indicates further that this is just about some my
Speaker 1: fucking selfish, dick heady sovereign citizen. You can't control me,
Speaker 1: government ship. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's something though,
Speaker 1: it's something I'm trying out. Ever since Nigella Lawson hit
Speaker 1: it big with micro uave, I feel like I need
Speaker 1: I need my own take. Um. But yeah, like the
Speaker 1: and this other in the group, they did a post
Speaker 1: being like, how how would you feel like if there
Speaker 1: was a vaccine required travel? Like for travel? Like almost
Speaker 1: two hundred people responded, and the answers were things like, quote,
Speaker 1: hire a private jet, bribe anyone to give me the past,
Speaker 1: visit a doctor in the third world with a fistful
Speaker 1: of good looking cash. Uh, create an internal group to
Speaker 1: document where and how to get a vaccine without actually
Speaker 1: getting it. And people who are like on the side
Speaker 1: of even somewhat reasonable lodging like, yeah, but if you
Speaker 1: have it then you won't get sick, Like what about that?
Speaker 1: Though there's a benefit to getting inoculated against something like this.
Speaker 1: People are just getting shut down, and like one of
Speaker 1: the women in the group was pleading with members to
Speaker 1: not go to Australia without a vaccine, like please, like,
Speaker 1: just don't do it, like it's it only makes sense
Speaker 1: just for everyone. This person was called quote a proud
Speaker 1: North Korean and was informed that we will not get
Speaker 1: back our freedom and liberty by complying with a fascist regime.
Speaker 1: What is that even? What does that even mean? Like
Speaker 1: that's so many Yeah, anyway, right, well shut it down,
Speaker 1: shut it shut, shut the full fucking thing down. Please,
Speaker 1: groups are not serving anybody. Come on, this is the
Speaker 1: least they can do. That's that's a half measure from
Speaker 1: the Biden administration that I would be perfectly fine, Like
Speaker 1: it's incremental as fuck, but at least it's something that
Speaker 1: was on the list of things I'd like to get done,
Speaker 1: so I think they're higher priority things. But sure, okay,
Speaker 1: at least you did that. But okay, if you do
Speaker 1: one thing, I would honestly be shocked. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, meet my President of the Treasury, Jamie
Speaker 1: Jamie Diamond from Chase Bank or some sh it, it's
Speaker 1: not going to be, but you know, you can see it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's plenty of lobbyist swamp tings. I saw.
Speaker 1: I saw a clickbait piece that was like, do you
Speaker 1: think a woman could run the v A And like, well,
Speaker 1: if she's if she's evil, probably she could. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just a s ghoulish capitalist who's willing to undercut
Speaker 1: the benefits for veterans. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it could be.
Speaker 1: Could honestly could be a fucking robot story. Right now.
Speaker 1: We found plenty of women who are willing to screw
Speaker 1: over veterans, so don't worry about it. They're like, but
Speaker 1: diversity or you're gonna you're gonna vote against a woman.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you're just diversifying the face of oppression.
Speaker 1: That's all you're doing. It's not it's not a progress.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and take shots at Disneyland. And we're back and Disneyland,
Speaker 1: I mean our disney World rather because we live in
Speaker 1: a fascist state of California, where they're doing things like
Speaker 1: not allowing Disneyland to open despite the pleas of all
Speaker 1: the annual pass holders at the Gates and Anaheim, which
Speaker 1: is the cringe ship you've ever seen. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the most embarrassing. I enjoyed Disneyland, but that was the
Speaker 1: most embarrassing protests I've ever seen in my life. A
Speaker 1: bunch of dads in goofy years being like, come on,
Speaker 1: I'm bringing back, bring back the magic, and you're like,
Speaker 1: we need to regress here two years old. Ye so um.
Speaker 1: Disney World, on the other hand, in the Great Sunshine
Speaker 1: State of Florida, headed up by Governor Rhonda Santis, they
Speaker 1: they've been actually expanding their guest capacity, so they were
Speaker 1: going at twenty and I think we remember when Disneyland opened.
Speaker 1: There's like that viral moment where like though like one
Speaker 1: of these women was like experiencing cold symptoms and they're like,
Speaker 1: I think this woman has COVID And is that disney
Speaker 1: World without a mask? Um? That was sort of our
Speaker 1: first sort of insights into what this place looked like,
Speaker 1: and it was very creepy. Along with that commercial too
Speaker 1: that was like I'm back to the magic and your
Speaker 1: hell yeah, it's like, okay, the magic of Nile. I
Speaker 1: guess dissociation. Yeah seriously, And um, now that like the
Speaker 1: things are increasing. People are sort of like, uh, that's
Speaker 1: not the best thing. I mean, like the state of
Speaker 1: Florida is currently like getting completely thrashed by COVID as well.
Speaker 1: But um, last week all four of Disney World's parks
Speaker 1: reached capacity like enough. People were like, yo, we're down
Speaker 1: with this ship and they're letting us in that every
Speaker 1: time they're like, hey, we're our capacity no more, which
Speaker 1: is very frightening. UM, and a lot of people again,
Speaker 1: you've got people congregating, uh in a theme park, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like are they wearing masks? We don't really know
Speaker 1: what's really happening in here. It turns out that um,
Speaker 1: even though like it might not be safe, Disney is
Speaker 1: really going all in on making things look safe even
Speaker 1: if it isn't. So if guests aren't wearing masks on rides,
Speaker 1: the park has been digitally at masks to their photo
Speaker 1: pass pictures. So like if you're on Splash Mountain or
Speaker 1: whatever any of those rides, or like you get the
Speaker 1: photo if you don't have a mask on, they've been
Speaker 1: digitally Addelie adding the fucking masks to the faces. And
Speaker 1: they're so arc they're so archaic. It's like it looks
Speaker 1: like how you do it in like if there was
Speaker 1: like a iPhone app that was just like mask app,
Speaker 1: like dragon mask over everyone's face. That's what they're making.
Speaker 1: They're making their like employees were putting themselves in an
Speaker 1: unsafe position in the first place, they have to go
Speaker 1: back to work. They're making people do that because first
Speaker 1: they would be like that, they're saying, we can't actually
Speaker 1: give you your photo, um if you because you weren't
Speaker 1: wearing a mask on it. And they were first denying
Speaker 1: people the photos for not having a mask on because
Speaker 1: it was proof that some of these Disney rites where
Speaker 1: you get like splashed water in the face, like the
Speaker 1: idea of breathing a wet mask, like would you put
Speaker 1: yourself through that or just like you know, the act
Speaker 1: of being where like that like someone in the front
Speaker 1: is yelling and you're like inhaling their scream. Yeah whatever,
Speaker 1: I mean, Look, we're missing the point. Here's about the
Speaker 1: magic though, you know what I mean. So they're not.
Speaker 1: I guess this is where it gets kind of in
Speaker 1: the weeds on like mask rules, because I know that
Speaker 1: Florida doesn't have good policies, but like when you're on
Speaker 1: like Disney property, can't they just say you have to?
Speaker 1: Then how are the how is this happening? Because they're
Speaker 1: also you know, they're they're they're a capitalist enterprise, so
Speaker 1: like it behooves you to not upset anyone and just
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know, man, as long as that
Speaker 1: till has money popping off in it, I don't give
Speaker 1: a funk what people are doing here, and they really
Speaker 1: don't because they're so secretive, right, Disney is so like
Speaker 1: you're not going to know how funked up it is
Speaker 1: here me because they've said no outbreak have been traced
Speaker 1: UM to like any of the Disney parks, but there's
Speaker 1: like no comprehensive contract contact tracing, so I don't know
Speaker 1: how you would have done it anyway, So it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to say like what has happened in Disney's also
Speaker 1: declined on many occasions to say how many of their
Speaker 1: employees have tested positive UM since the resort reopened. They're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, it's minimal. This is one of the
Speaker 1: people who is the representatives of like the employees said, quote,
Speaker 1: we've had very few and none as far as we
Speaker 1: can tell, have been from work related exposure. Well that's
Speaker 1: and and and on top of that, like I I
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I just genuinely don't know this information.
Speaker 1: But like, if you do have COVID, does the company
Speaker 1: take care of you? Or would it behoove you to
Speaker 1: not tell your employer if you think you might have
Speaker 1: COVID and go into work anyways, because I feel like
Speaker 1: that is such a huge source of spread, is people
Speaker 1: who are not getting any support from the government and
Speaker 1: may not be getting support from their place of work
Speaker 1: if they do get sick, so then you know, it's
Speaker 1: like they still have to pay their rent because there's
Speaker 1: I don't know, sorry, I mean, but this is again no,
Speaker 1: but Auntie Jamie is looking into saurons shitty eye of
Speaker 1: how the system works, and like they've done this ship before,
Speaker 1: like in Anaheim at Disneyland in a part goer was
Speaker 1: struck by like a flying piece of metal and killed
Speaker 1: like killed they were killed by up. Yes, this happened
Speaker 1: at the park, and Disneyland called the fucking paramedics but
Speaker 1: not the police, and they cleaned up the fucking mess.
Speaker 1: And the police only found out because the paramedics like, yo, um,
Speaker 1: we just picked up a fatality here over at Disneyland
Speaker 1: and they're like, what they didn't call us and they
Speaker 1: got there and they're like what happened. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we cleaned it up, and they're like, what are you
Speaker 1: fucking talking about? Like we needed to invest and technically
Speaker 1: it's not illegal what they did, but that just shows
Speaker 1: you the culture of like, clean it up, man, we
Speaker 1: can't down shut up sucking snitch doing. Um. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: what a treat? What a treat? Um? And just one
Speaker 1: last treat I want to go out on actually is
Speaker 1: just Jamie and I. We were talking about what it
Speaker 1: was like to work at Playboy back in the day.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this was on we did this,
Speaker 1: but we we worked at Playboy. We actually worked at
Speaker 1: the same time and weren't even friends. It's a shame.
Speaker 1: Although I didn't I knew of you because everyone was
Speaker 1: saying she's a comedian and I was like, what, there's
Speaker 1: someone funny here. Get away from that. Surely to me, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should have been friends the Playboy. No one talked
Speaker 1: to me. Well, you were in a weird part of
Speaker 1: the office. It was a weird time, the country was
Speaker 1: stor the company was having a bit of trouble figuring
Speaker 1: out the non nude age. Yeah. Uh. And because at
Speaker 1: Hefner's house or we got to go to the mansion
Speaker 1: for like staff party one you got to go, I
Speaker 1: didn't get didn't. I got terribly drunk and walked into
Speaker 1: a glass wall. My sister snuck into Hugh Heffner's house
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day, Yeah, and met his son and they
Speaker 1: were just hanging out. Yeah, if it wasn't contry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's on it. He was the guy that stole my
Speaker 1: cake when he was on a segway. It was like
Speaker 1: the day that I got laid off and my boss
Speaker 1: was like, here's a cake because I got laid off
Speaker 1: on my birthday and they got me a birthday slash
Speaker 1: goodbye cake. That was really depressing. And then he Hefner's
Speaker 1: son rolled in on his segway obviously like I had
Speaker 1: no idea who he was, and he was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's a whose birthday is it? Can I have a
Speaker 1: piece of cake? And he just roll the way and
Speaker 1: then he felt so it's good taken off with your
Speaker 1: cake and your health insurance. But yeah, there So the
Speaker 1: reason I bring it up is because every like six
Speaker 1: three to six months. The online store, the Playboy magazine
Speaker 1: online store would just have a free for all of
Speaker 1: ship nobody wanted, and the staff could go and like
Speaker 1: pick from the bones of like the on line store
Speaker 1: and get like a T shirt or beer Cozy's or
Speaker 1: high healed sneakers in Jamie's case that she so lovingly
Speaker 1: took um. But I just want to just I just
Speaker 1: point this out, because the State Department had a holiday
Speaker 1: party on Tuesday or super spreader event, whatever the funk
Speaker 1: you wanna call it. But I just want to point
Speaker 1: out what the gift bags were at this State Department
Speaker 1: holiday party. Quote. This is from the Washington Post reporting
Speaker 1: of the State Department party. Amid the point said is
Speaker 1: chandeliers and meticulously decorated Christmas trees. Children on Tuesday night
Speaker 1: received be best branded swag such as backpacks, Frisbees, and
Speaker 1: water bottles from First Lady Milania Trump's signature anti bullying
Speaker 1: and Wellness initiative. The State Department has a stockpile of
Speaker 1: the best merchandise that is often handed out when the
Speaker 1: First Lady travels abroad. In the absence of a second
Speaker 1: Trump term, officials need to find a home for the
Speaker 1: surplus gear, one official said. The officials said, quote, it's
Speaker 1: time to get rid of the left o verse. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a Playboy giveaway. Well, this is the worst.
Speaker 1: This is a bad idea. Come again, and we guid
Speaker 1: it here. My friend what a treat. My friend was
Speaker 1: like asking me if I had any tattoos, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I changed my mind so often. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'd be one of those people that would get a
Speaker 1: Playboy like tattoo and regret it. And when I said
Speaker 1: that her boyfriend puilled up his sleep and he had
Speaker 1: a bit Playboy tattoo, and I was like, I'm sure
Speaker 1: yours is great. I mean, it's the most recognized logo
Speaker 1: in the on Earth. It's most recognized logo on Earth.
Speaker 1: So I love when someone has an embarrassing tattoo that
Speaker 1: is also very large. There's almost nothing funnier in the world.
Speaker 1: I like, ran into my high school boyfriend. This sounds fake,
Speaker 1: but it was real. I ran into one of my
Speaker 1: my first high school boyfriend, um a couple of years
Speaker 1: after he had dumped me for the saxophone. It sounds
Speaker 1: like him Whiplash that movie, except sounds like this Christmas
Speaker 1: He left you for his music career. He did. He
Speaker 1: did leave me for was Quentins. He left me for
Speaker 1: for jazz um. But then I saw him a couple
Speaker 1: of years later and he had a huge tattoo of
Speaker 1: foghorn leghorn on his bicep and he was like, my
Speaker 1: uncle got it too. It was a little thing me
Speaker 1: and my uncle did. He had a huge said. I said,
Speaker 1: what the funk You got a fog horn leghorn tattoo? Yes,
Speaker 1: I swear to god, he had a huge fog horn
Speaker 1: leghorn tattoo. And then it was like it was it
Speaker 1: was great for me because I was like, well this
Speaker 1: this break up validation, validation, Yeah, but a huge like
Speaker 1: just so much out of nostalgia. But you you put
Speaker 1: your mouth on this person and then now they have
Speaker 1: a foghorn leghorn tattoo. I don't know. I just googled
Speaker 1: fog horn leghorn. Now I get the joke. Yeah. Anyways,
Speaker 1: well what can you do? But you know, let's let's
Speaker 1: let's move on to nicer things. Uh. And with that
Speaker 1: hot the nicer thing is thanking you for joining on
Speaker 1: this magical journey today. And I'm hoping that you recover swiftly,
Speaker 1: and I know things are still lingering, and it's really
Speaker 1: it's I know it's yeah. I kept trying to hide
Speaker 1: my cough. I just would like turn my head. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: don't worry. It's yeah, thoughts and prayers, real ones, real ones,
Speaker 1: the real ones, the real kinds. Where can people find

Speaker 1: guy he's out in a field, he finds this, Um sorry,
Speaker 1: this must be so not me laughing, and I have
Speaker 1: even said what it is, but um, he finds like
Speaker 1: what looks like a corn dog and it's like this
Speaker 1: natural flunt and he fights into it as if it's

Speaker 1: let me do my TikTok. So they're all stood in
Speaker 1: a huddle watching her as she's like doing all the
Speaker 1: like TikTok sexy dance moves, and it's just kind of
Speaker 1: like the lack of self awareness that these people have
Speaker 1: is so funny, especially like that was. It was really
Speaker 1: wild during the uprisings that account because they were I
Speaker 1: remember they were putting people on blast where you know,
Speaker 1: all the Black Lives Matter protests that were happening, like
Speaker 1: a lot of influence or scumbag people were just sort
Speaker 1: of like up in it for the photo and then
Speaker 1: like leaving or being like I'm helping to clean up
Speaker 1: the broken to show up drunk or like yeah, it
Speaker 1: was all that was. They were getting exposed. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that the Kendall Jenner holding up the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: and then you see in the shadow she's not even
Speaker 1: got a sign. Yeah right, yeah, ridiculously Well, you know,
Speaker 1: so they got the Disneyland treatment, that's what we call that,
Speaker 1: and just dumping in some photoshoppery. Uh, where can people

Speaker 1: So check that out. And the tweet is going to
Speaker 1: be from my friend Devon Manny, who is also an
Speaker 1: amazing artist. He tweeted a screenshot that um revealed the
Speaker 1: news that Ellen Degenerous tests positive for COVID nineteen halts
Speaker 1: talk show production until January. He captions it and people
Speaker 1: say working for Ellen isn't a positive experience a s
Speaker 1: MDH because she made me laugh on that's all, um.
Speaker 1: You go. Some tweets I like ones from Billy Wayne
Speaker 1: Davis At Billy Wayne Davis, He's saying, yo, stupids. Ellen
Speaker 1: and Rogan just moved their quote official residences to Texas.
Speaker 1: They still do business and have homes in California. They
Speaker 1: didn't fucking move. They bought a how us to save
Speaker 1: money on taxes? Something about of their fans can't do
Speaker 1: has a nine of most people can't do? Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think many people will find themselves in a
Speaker 1: situation like should I just buy a house there to
Speaker 1: save money on taxes? That's a fucking another level of uh,
Speaker 1: just holding your wealth that people need to be a
Speaker 1: little more aware of. Another tweet I like is from
Speaker 1: actually you, Jamie. Um, you are quote tweeting an article
