Speaker 1: I was in. I was on the streets of New York.
Speaker 1: I was you know, I just got just got back home. Uh, No,
Speaker 1: I was in. I was in Beaute, Montana, of all places.
Speaker 1: What were you doing in Montana? I was in. I was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was going to just hanging out with some of
Speaker 1: my biker friends. Um, just in the middle, like it
Speaker 1: was kind of a lot of us just kind of
Speaker 1: you know, packed into a parking lot. Um just you know, shaking,
Speaker 1: hand hugging, kissing, you know, typical biker fan. Um. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I was I was I was shooting a movie. Oh cool,
Speaker 1: What was that like on set? Because I know, I
Speaker 1: mean having friends and family and production, it's it seems
Speaker 1: like a lot more going there, a lot more work,
Speaker 1: especially for crew. Yeah, it's um, I've been I've been
Speaker 1: tested four times in the past week. I think, just
Speaker 1: make sure I'm not sick. And there was a period
Speaker 1: where I was not allowed to leave my room and uh.
Speaker 1: And also the hotel might have been haunted, so that
Speaker 1: I think that was unrelated to I think that would
Speaker 1: have been the case. That would have been the case
Speaker 1: regardless of COVID. But you know, it was just I mean,
Speaker 1: it's basically the premise of the Shining. It's just that
Speaker 1: instead of a blizzard keeping you inside the hotel, it
Speaker 1: is the coronavirus pandemic, but you still coronavirus pandemic. And
Speaker 1: also a lot of racist people's hold on Jack, we
Speaker 1: gotta we got a script going there. Were you able
Speaker 1: to feel the local racism in Beaute? It was weird
Speaker 1: because I I feel like, um, because of COVID, Asian
Speaker 1: people are getting it harder than black people right now.
Speaker 1: And so there was an Asian dude on cast who
Speaker 1: definitely felt it. I felt like people were being too
Speaker 1: nice to me, like im Yeah, Like two people asked
Speaker 1: me for money on the street, and then I went
Speaker 1: back and talk to the rest of the cast. I
Speaker 1: was like, people asking you for money, and all of
Speaker 1: them were like, no, nobody's asked any of us. I
Speaker 1: was like, it's like this weird thing where they feel
Speaker 1: like they have to ask me because they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's not like guaranteed to be poor anymore. It's not
Speaker 1: that it's not like that. B people have money, You're
Speaker 1: a rich person in my mind, I'm not racist. Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: one of them was Australian, which was very weird to me.
Speaker 1: So they were begging on the street and they were Australia.
Speaker 1: Was a whole Australian man with blonde dreadlocks. I was
Speaker 1: just gonna ask if he had dreadlocks. Yes, he absolutely did.
Speaker 1: He was exactly the type of person you think he was, uh,
Speaker 1: And it just made me feel sad. It was like,
Speaker 1: you gave up health insurance to live in a mining
Speaker 1: town all the time, you know, like you might be
Speaker 1: safer in Australia with those dreads. Yeah, it's gotta be
Speaker 1: a rough climate. To be unhoused in. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: probably pretty bad, but I don't I don't know. It
Speaker 1: was just like it was just a very it was
Speaker 1: a very weird place. There was also there was also
Speaker 1: one bar that everybody told me very specifically not to
Speaker 1: go into because nobody was wearing a mask. And I
Speaker 1: walked outside one day and there was just one dude
Speaker 1: standing outside in this haunted ass town, two teeth in
Speaker 1: his mouth, and he looked at me, and I looked
Speaker 1: back at him, and he goes, hey, man, you okay.
Speaker 1: I was like no, and then he just and then
Speaker 1: he points to the he points to the bar that
Speaker 1: everybody told me to not go into, and he just goes,
Speaker 1: have you ever been in here before? And I was
Speaker 1: like no, and I don't plan to, And I kept moving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, think about it. I will think about brushing
Speaker 1: my teeth as soon as they get back. Yeah. Wow, interesting.
Speaker 1: It's a weird place. Yeah, that's about what I would
Speaker 1: have expected a weather in New York? Is it? Uh?
Speaker 1: Are you guys still in shorts? Because we have people
Speaker 1: dunking on us from Brooklyn being like, oh man, it's
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. It's not bad it's um especially coming from
Speaker 1: like nineteen degree weather, is you know, yeah, you must
Speaker 1: be like you're in a tank top now, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: reflective panel in a sun chair. Oh yeah, I'm out
Speaker 1: shirt off, sitting on the roof, just uh tanning, but
Speaker 1: like as a bit right right, yeah, like it's not
Speaker 1: it's not doing anything. It's just yeah, just to funk
Speaker 1: with the Google Earth photographer. Yeah, alright, let's uh tell
Speaker 1: the people what we're listening to and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Speaker 1: There is another new vaccine trial that was made public,
Speaker 1: and that one is ninety four point five effective. The
Speaker 1: last one that we were all impressed with was ninety
Speaker 1: So the wow, they're they're nailing these vacs recipes that chefs.
Speaker 1: Who were they who were they testing? Who are they
Speaker 1: testing on? I think Americans? Actually, I think, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, white Americans, I hope. I think I think anybody.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, okay, just very nervous, always very nervous,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, no, yeah, I'm sure that for all
Speaker 1: the talk of like the vaccines, now we'll see how
Speaker 1: racist is it is when they talked about they need
Speaker 1: to get the vaccines to first. Yeah, who needs the first?
Speaker 1: The people who can afford to stay inside and not
Speaker 1: do anything, and people who were actually out there day
Speaker 1: to day doing essential work that is vital to our
Speaker 1: you know, lives moving. Has anybody talked about that yet?
Speaker 1: Like in Contagion the what what is turning out to
Speaker 1: be a documentary? The way they did it was like
Speaker 1: by social Security number I think, or something like the
Speaker 1: dray where they start from one. Yeah, yeah, they start
Speaker 1: from one. The person who has social Security number is one.
Speaker 1: Dust off the Brian McKnight memes again if that really
Speaker 1: is the way they do it, because like how they're
Speaker 1: given to the vaccine with social Security numbers one and true? Like, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking about the other Brian McKnight
Speaker 1: song where he goes, let me show you how your
Speaker 1: pussy was. Thanks Dr McKnight. We're gonna talk about we're
Speaker 1: we're beyond contact tracing, so all we can do right
Speaker 1: now is kind of speculate as to how people are
Speaker 1: catching coronavirus because it's kind of going out of control.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the weekend
Speaker 1: that Trump and his supporters had. Uh, We'll talk about
Speaker 1: how lockdown is affecting our memories. Will check in with Ellen,
Speaker 1: will check in with a fight club, might even check
Speaker 1: in with Parlor if we have the time and plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, you know, oh yeah, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I was in Montana for the past week and
Speaker 1: the last two things on my search history are one
Speaker 1: the count from Sesame Street and to liquor store near me.
Speaker 1: See how these couple of seconds of each other? Why
Speaker 1: why the count? You know what? I don't remember? Oh
Speaker 1: you know what it was. It was. It was when
Speaker 1: they were talking about stopping the count for the election,
Speaker 1: and I, yeah, and I and I and I quote
Speaker 1: tweeted somebody with a picture of the count and said
Speaker 1: it ain't stopping ship. Yeah. I think actually that is
Speaker 1: the best way to dump on somebody too. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: so fake and like it's like it's I've never heard
Speaker 1: fuck you be more elegant? Two three, um fourteen thousands.
Speaker 1: Trump is losing by yeah, wait for the recount, wait
Speaker 1: for the re account. That's all nine. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna say, uh state socialism,
Speaker 1: Uh socialism, by governments doesn't is a thing that doesn't
Speaker 1: really work. You can start at the ground floor, you know,
Speaker 1: grassroots things. Talk about the d s A do. I
Speaker 1: do not trust them really, you know, it's very useful
Speaker 1: things that they can that they have the power to
Speaker 1: pass if they were to come into power. But that's
Speaker 1: not it's episocialism that we need in the way. So
Speaker 1: you're saying because the numerically there's not enough there to
Speaker 1: actually affect things versus, but like at a community level,
Speaker 1: like more through like mutual aid networks and things like that,
Speaker 1: that we're able to have more substantive ways to help
Speaker 1: each other. Exactly, I'm saying governments are not the way
Speaker 1: to bring about socialism necessarily. People needs to be thinking
Speaker 1: about what goes on in their workplace, which is also
Speaker 1: a dictatorship. Right, That's how billionaires get made. Don't talk
Speaker 1: spicy to that person. Look that Look that dude, he
Speaker 1: makes a billion dollars and you've got and they have
Speaker 1: a food drive for their own employees, right right right that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you do identify as a socialist on your Twitter bio.
Speaker 1: So like you, you're just skeptical of waiting around for
Speaker 1: it to come top skeptical of you know, just they're
Speaker 1: not gonna let you vote in socialism, right, They're right,
Speaker 1: they're not going to do it. Let's a good way
Speaker 1: to play. Put it a lot of energy into into
Speaker 1: violently suppressing socialist government. So why are they going to
Speaker 1: let it happen here? You know? Yo, I'm reading the
Speaker 1: book about the Bush Family, the Family of Secrets, uh Chop.
Speaker 1: I was talking about that on their on their podcast,
Speaker 1: and that really puts the whole how violent they're willing
Speaker 1: to be in suppressing anything that isn't white supremacy and
Speaker 1: conservative politics. They're they're they they'll kill you and get
Speaker 1: away with it too. It's about death. It's like energetically,
Speaker 1: it's not about growth. It's about death, like because you're
Speaker 1: you're saying we're fixed now here and funk anything else.
Speaker 1: So that means anything that's trying to get me to
Speaker 1: expand I'm fucking destroying because I'm going to stay fixed
Speaker 1: in this position. I will not experience growth. The energy
Speaker 1: that I put out is to fun people up who
Speaker 1: are trying to create growth, and this is life. Change
Speaker 1: is life, you know what I mean? Good or bad?
Speaker 1: Shit evolving, that's fucking life. Conservatives not about that. They're
Speaker 1: about fucking stagnating and just holding onto this fucking thing
Speaker 1: till it just kills everybody, conserving the existing order which
Speaker 1: they happened to be at the top of and control.
Speaker 1: Funny how that works. What is something you think is underrated? Oh,
Speaker 1: making out without having sex. Sometimes you just gotta kiss
Speaker 1: in Mike, Sometimes you just gotta get a little kissing.
Speaker 1: You know what. Yeah, oh, man, hugging and kissing. Man,
Speaker 1: I remember kissing, kissing and hugging. Yeah, there's something about
Speaker 1: like when I like when I was single, Like I
Speaker 1: don't like when you make out and your single is different.
Speaker 1: It hits different. No shot at my partner or magic.
Speaker 1: We talked about this all the time. It's like, is
Speaker 1: it the same or it's like you almost like when
Speaker 1: you first start dating someone, you make out wild, even
Speaker 1: even before you have sex, because it's like we're not
Speaker 1: having sex because we're making out. This is like what
Speaker 1: it's all the energies and the kissing and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm about, hugging and kissing, kissing, and we're just
Speaker 1: hugging and kissing and kissing and hugging. You gotta like,
Speaker 1: is is there something about kissing specifically that was resonant
Speaker 1: that you were feeling, like, what happened to someone occurred
Speaker 1: to you? Did you have a nice encounter? I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about sometimes you know what you Sometimes
Speaker 1: you just end up in a position where you're just
Speaker 1: like I don't necessarily want to have sex right now,
Speaker 1: but you don't. I like you. Yeah, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: kiss on you, yeah kind of, you know sometimes sometimes
Speaker 1: but people then people don't can't kiss good or kiss
Speaker 1: or like you have to reconcile styles like some people do,
Speaker 1: like the little turtle tongue or oh yeah like that.
Speaker 1: It's just like peking out. It's like, look like a
Speaker 1: turtle in the apple slice and you're like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: need it. We need to sloppy, yapp passionate. Wow, we're
Speaker 1: learning things about But that's so wild though. If they
Speaker 1: give you the little turtle kiss to think the rest
Speaker 1: is going to be better. Yeah, if at that point
Speaker 1: it's not good, would be like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: let me just let me just call it uber right now,
Speaker 1: get out of my house. There was somebody went to
Speaker 1: a different high school than me, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to give any details, but they had they were a
Speaker 1: turtle kisser, and somebody knew like, yo, they kissed like
Speaker 1: a turtle and you know you're sixteen, so everybody's wild toxic.
Speaker 1: And then one of their friends was like, no, like
Speaker 1: they have like that thing under their tongue is like
Speaker 1: attached too far ahead of their from like the front
Speaker 1: of their tongue. Yeah, so yeah, whatever you want called
Speaker 1: the thing that's making you look like a loser in
Speaker 1: high school was what we called it. Um but yeah
Speaker 1: that and then they got a procedure to correct it,
Speaker 1: and then they were out here fucking like lizard face
Speaker 1: just like yeah, yeah. It was like so it was
Speaker 1: a nice It was a nice comeback. You'd love to
Speaker 1: see it, you know, I mean, yeah, I love to
Speaker 1: see it. That was when my two year old was born.
Speaker 1: The there was a doctor who came through. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no big deal. I got kids. One of the few
Speaker 1: people who's able to pull that off. But the doctor
Speaker 1: came through the delivery room and gave us like this
Speaker 1: really dark speech about why we should have our sons
Speaker 1: like fremulum, like clipped about like how like kids are
Speaker 1: so cruel and like their kid had like a fremulum
Speaker 1: that was two connected, and then they spoke with a
Speaker 1: speech and a mint and it was just like, yo,
Speaker 1: this is this is um dark. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: give I want to set this parental boat off on
Speaker 1: the right foot and just give you a bunch of
Speaker 1: things to be in your head about. Yeah. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: make sure at a young age that your son can
Speaker 1: kiss good. That's what she also mentioned that, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: doesn't have a speech impediment. I'm like, what four year
Speaker 1: old speaks clearly what I mean? Like you the whole time,
Speaker 1: like funk, we had the freendulum cutting. They're still talking
Speaker 1: like you don't. I don't know whatever. I don't haven't
Speaker 1: been around enough kids to remember how kids talk. But yes,
Speaker 1: kids are cruel. Uh, friend, you lum is apparently any
Speaker 1: small fold of tissue that secures the motion of a
Speaker 1: mobile oregan. So the one under the tongue, I guess
Speaker 1: technically is one of many. You got one in your brain,
Speaker 1: You got one of your digestive tract. Uh, your oral
Speaker 1: tissue is the mouth, one, penile tissue and volvular tissue. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't kiss me because my friend, you M all right,
Speaker 1: let's take your let's take a quick freak. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back and we're back. And uh yeah, not a
Speaker 1: whole lot other than on the vaccine front, other than
Speaker 1: to say that's great. Uh it's Maderna is the company
Speaker 1: and they expect to be able to get about twenty
Speaker 1: million out this year, so that's super dope. Hopefully, yeah,
Speaker 1: hopefully we find it. Yeah, hopefully we find a fair
Speaker 1: way to distribute. Um. I wish there's a way for
Speaker 1: you to like defer yours to give it to like
Speaker 1: an essential worker, you know what I mean, because I
Speaker 1: feel like they're I God, you just hope that that's
Speaker 1: you know, this administration, you know, I mean if you
Speaker 1: knowledge the Biden administration, because I don't watch fake Fox
Speaker 1: News because I'm not gonna stop the steal. But if
Speaker 1: they come into power and which looks like it will happen,
Speaker 1: if they are going to have humane policies like or
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be like or we'll do it so
Speaker 1: like rich people can front like their essential workers and
Speaker 1: they can get it real quick. Like there's a way
Speaker 1: to game it, because there's always a way to game it.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm really concerned, because I would want
Speaker 1: nothing more I would feel very fucked up and guilty
Speaker 1: knowing I was having access to this ship and knowing
Speaker 1: I have the privilege just screaming my bedroom all day
Speaker 1: for work, just thinking about the you compared to the draft,
Speaker 1: thinking about the fact that college students were able to defer,
Speaker 1: like you couldn't hopefully you couldn't get away with that ship.
Speaker 1: Now right now that like we've kind of uncovered the
Speaker 1: fact that college is just like a training ground for
Speaker 1: like class classism. Hopefully they're not like, well, we're going
Speaker 1: to give it to college students first. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: know Fauci has been like they say, high risk, high
Speaker 1: risk population will get it first, and I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: like with people with like co morbidities, like when they
Speaker 1: mean like physically, like if you got it, you fucked
Speaker 1: around and you cannot find out what it will do
Speaker 1: to you. So yes, right, and then you'd hope after
Speaker 1: that it's like okay, and then now if you have
Speaker 1: to go to like you're working alongside people and you're
Speaker 1: at a higher risk because of the nature of your work,
Speaker 1: please give that to those people. Um, but just by definition,
Speaker 1: you could just safely say it's black and brown people
Speaker 1: just looking at the data that you would want to
Speaker 1: emphasize where this is going aside from the elderly, but
Speaker 1: we look at the death the deaths in the hospitalization
Speaker 1: its disproportionately hitting black and yeah, um, in Chicago it's
Speaker 1: something wild like one in three Latin X people. The
Speaker 1: infection rate is like one in three. It's really really yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like if everything that has their version. But
Speaker 1: like when you look at ship like that, you're like,
Speaker 1: how can you like, how can any I know how
Speaker 1: administrations can continue to ignore this ship because it costs
Speaker 1: money and it me it eats into people's you know,
Speaker 1: yacht money. But you'd hope, fuck like look at that
Speaker 1: and say, this is a very easy thing. The problem
Speaker 1: presented itself to us, and now we can go directly
Speaker 1: at it and handle it. Yeah. They always have just
Speaker 1: enough evidence to convince themselves that it's not a race.
Speaker 1: They always have just enough, you know. And in this
Speaker 1: case it is also you know, a poverty thing. But
Speaker 1: that tends to skew heavily black and brown. Uh okay,
Speaker 1: but ninety four point five that's good efficacy, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really good. I mean we were shocked and FDA
Speaker 1: is well like fifty, right, there will be like, okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta hit at least fifty yeah, right, and that's
Speaker 1: something that we'd be willing to distribute. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: mean the we'll still do flu flu shots in years
Speaker 1: when it's like I think they've been as low as right. So, man,
Speaker 1: I was just listening to like people who you know,
Speaker 1: I respect, who have politics that like are not you know,
Speaker 1: they're not like right wing anti actors. But they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I never get flu shots. I would never I would
Speaker 1: never get flu shots. And that's precious big difference between
Speaker 1: never get and would never get right right, right, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like I just haven't had insurance. Your problem. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about how COVID is currently spreading. You know,
Speaker 1: we're still ahead of mass distribution of any vaccines, and
Speaker 1: the numbers are the worst they've ever been, and we're
Speaker 1: seeing that it's worse in rural counties now than it
Speaker 1: is in cities, despite the fact that you know, in
Speaker 1: its natural state, the disease would spread more in cities
Speaker 1: because there's just more contact between people and more environments
Speaker 1: where you would be transmissing transmitting the disease from one
Speaker 1: person to the other, but right now it is raging
Speaker 1: out of control in places like South Dakota, Montana. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, so, I don't know. This Time magazine I've
Speaker 1: always had, Time is currently a garbage publication, and they
Speaker 1: wrote this article that treated it as a mystery that
Speaker 1: Trump got the most support in counties where the virus
Speaker 1: is the worst, as as that they're like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe you know, they're they're just voters said
Speaker 1: the coronavirus was the most important fact are in choosing
Speaker 1: who they voted for. And then the fact that Trump
Speaker 1: voters like, we're in counties that were where was the worst. Um,
Speaker 1: it's obviously because Trump has told them not to wear masks,
Speaker 1: and so it's the causal direction is not that they
Speaker 1: live in counties where the disease is bad and are
Speaker 1: therefore Trump supporters. It's that they're Trump supporters and the
Speaker 1: culture in those counties as such that, uh, it's seen
Speaker 1: as shameful to wear a mask or like behave as
Speaker 1: the disease is dangerous. You're not gonna come over and
Speaker 1: kick it raw with the homies, Okay, I see you,
Speaker 1: Oh wow you Okay, you will cover up? Okay, what
Speaker 1: do you a sailor. I don't know what the funk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just again, it's all about just like
Speaker 1: feeling of not wanting to be in touch with your
Speaker 1: own mortality. I mean, that's like some of them. You know.
Speaker 1: It just turns out in counties where people love to sin,
Speaker 1: people also like like the devil a lot people love
Speaker 1: in these high sin counties. Right right, There's a nurse
Speaker 1: in South Dakota who was talking about how, like multiple
Speaker 1: of her patients, it's not just like one off, but
Speaker 1: like many of her patients in South Dakota who died
Speaker 1: of COVID insists that COVID isn't real, like with their
Speaker 1: dying breath. You want me to play that clip? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she was actually un CNN here she is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the hardest thing to watch is that people
Speaker 1: are still looking for something else and they want a
Speaker 1: magic answer, and they don't want to believe that COVID
Speaker 1: is real. And the reason I tweeted what I did
Speaker 1: is it wasn't one particular patient. It's just a culmination
Speaker 1: of so many people and their last dying words are
Speaker 1: this can be happening. It's not real. And when they
Speaker 1: should be spending time face timing their families, they're filled
Speaker 1: with anger and hatred. Wow that's fucking dark. Uh. You
Speaker 1: know you on some level you think like at a
Speaker 1: certain point like wow, like this could be happening. But
Speaker 1: when you full like to that point where you're completely
Speaker 1: in denial about what has happened to you, that sounds
Speaker 1: fucking awful. But fuck, yeah, this can't be happening. It's
Speaker 1: not real. It's like you're in this ic you and
Speaker 1: we're telling you and I, oh man, but yeah, that
Speaker 1: being the mortality can fucking just shake people to their core.
Speaker 1: And I think if it's not you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, somewhat cultural to like your how
Speaker 1: death is treated in your culture, Like if it's something
Speaker 1: that's like, oh my god, it's the worst thing that
Speaker 1: could ever happen. I never wanted to happen anyone I know. No, No,
Speaker 1: like that can definitely you're setting yourself up to have
Speaker 1: a lot to to push back against. Two other times,
Speaker 1: if death is very normal or like the process of
Speaker 1: it is seen as like part of the pattern of
Speaker 1: how you live and move and how life moves, and
Speaker 1: it may be a little bit different, but I mean
Speaker 1: regardless of you know, what their beliefs are that got
Speaker 1: into that point, just the idea to be so hopeless
Speaker 1: and helpless, um and like be have your physical body
Speaker 1: expiring and you're in total state of disbelief. But it
Speaker 1: sounds like should I think of what I'm like too high? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Being really but that's real, you know, yeah, yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit of acid. That's when you think about that
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Yeah, you're like, what if you didn't,
Speaker 1: like if you don't want it to happen, but you
Speaker 1: have to die anyway, But it just doesn't seem real.
Speaker 1: And then they're telling you just like oh no, no no,
Speaker 1: please stop, please stop, please stop. Yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think this is also a good indication that for
Speaker 1: anybody who thinks like this ship is going away after
Speaker 1: Trump or that like Trump Trump is um is a
Speaker 1: like small simple like you know he just figured some
Speaker 1: hack out. Uh. These people are like willing to die
Speaker 1: for this ship, Like yeah, stupid And that's just like
Speaker 1: how deep the like American propaganda machine goes like that's
Speaker 1: not just like they didn't just start being susceptible to
Speaker 1: things like that because Truck got elected. You know, got
Speaker 1: elected because they were susceptible to believes like that, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's based on such a fucking strong foundation of
Speaker 1: misinformation where you're just like, okay, you just don't even
Speaker 1: like have a foundation of knowledge to say, like this
Speaker 1: is the reality that I'm seeing right in front of me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like it's all like
Speaker 1: the reality is completely derived off of like cues they
Speaker 1: get from the TV or their Facebook feed, Like that's
Speaker 1: where they're like, there's no thinking happening inside. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are they saying today? Okay, that's what's real. Because
Speaker 1: so many times I was watching a lot of clips too,
Speaker 1: and like live streams from the MAGA rally in d
Speaker 1: C and hearing people even try and actually explain what's happening,
Speaker 1: Like there wasn't a single person who could articulate what
Speaker 1: they were pushing back against, what their risks were for
Speaker 1: them personally, that was motivating them in the first place.
Speaker 1: And it was all just boilerplate like Fox News talking
Speaker 1: points of like I love the Constitution and Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is again did and they're like, well what do you mean.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, well, you know, we're not gonna have freedom,
Speaker 1: and it's like what does but like, but what about
Speaker 1: for you personally? I mean, this is just it's just
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. I don't know Trump's good for us.
Speaker 1: And they're like, women are like, well what happened? Like
Speaker 1: for women? What is is there's anything specific? I mean,
Speaker 1: look what he did for the how many ceilings he
Speaker 1: broke in his cabinet with women And they're like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? It's like, well, they're through. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know even then, like the concept of like the
Speaker 1: glass ceiling wasn't even it was a thing that they
Speaker 1: heard but hadn't fully like lived or experienced or understood
Speaker 1: to be able to say like that is actually why
Speaker 1: I'm It resonates with me. It's sort of like I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'm just taking what I'm just regurgitating
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, and that's become my belief system. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the best clips I saw in the past
Speaker 1: couple of days is a dude like explaining is only
Speaker 1: tangentially connected, but explaining like the causes of the Civil War,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, this slavery was only one
Speaker 1: of the causes. You know, there were several causes, and
Speaker 1: the guys like, okay, we'll name three. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not a historian. Uh oh yeah, right yeah, and
Speaker 1: then he's lay something yeah and he's like, well, it's
Speaker 1: about tyranny and uh and he's like what is tyranny.
Speaker 1: Tyranny is when you know, you, uh, you you take
Speaker 1: away somebody's liberties too much? Is oh you mean like slaveries,
Speaker 1: like just speechless, yeah, like that's but yeah, but again,
Speaker 1: that's what and that's what's unfortunate is that these people
Speaker 1: are able to hear these messages, they resonate for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: and then they just move forward with that. And it's
Speaker 1: the same way to like, even with the curve, like
Speaker 1: the patterns and voting, Trump was thriving in the places
Speaker 1: that were economically dying. Yeah, and again, and that makes
Speaker 1: total sense because for like, for all the times people
Speaker 1: will be like, I understand how Republicans can just vote
Speaker 1: against their own interests. It's not that they're voting against
Speaker 1: their own interests. They've just been hypnotized into believing that
Speaker 1: they're the state they're in is due to these completely
Speaker 1: bullshit reasons that have nothing to do with why that's
Speaker 1: the situation there on the diet of like xenophobia and
Speaker 1: racism rather than like understanding economics and and agreed that
Speaker 1: exists within you know, the corporate class, and they have
Speaker 1: this belief that voting against their interests now is not
Speaker 1: going to be the case in a few years because
Speaker 1: they're eventually going to be a millionaire or a billionaire,
Speaker 1: and so they do have to worry about Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: tax plan or whatever, when in reality they have the
Speaker 1: fucking uh yeah, you know, there there was there was
Speaker 1: that one meme. I don't know if you saw. It
Speaker 1: was like it looked like a college dorm room that
Speaker 1: was just inundated with like soda, beer cans, pizza boxes,
Speaker 1: like video game remotes and like the guys like playing games.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm just worried about Biden's tax and
Speaker 1: that's the only thing for me. And you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that that just looks about right. Yeah. Kai Choice on
Speaker 1: Twitter had one of these, uh posted one of those
Speaker 1: like Amazon just like shitty tables, the one you just
Speaker 1: like screw together. She was like, Yeah, if you got
Speaker 1: this table in your living room, you don't gotta worry
Speaker 1: about It's tax plan right right exactly. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of memes like that. It's like if your walls
Speaker 1: look like this, and it was like vertical wood paneling
Speaker 1: from like the eighties and seventies, Like you ain't got
Speaker 1: to worry about the tax plane. Man. I wish Biden
Speaker 1: was as far to the left as those people are
Speaker 1: worried that he is. Yeah, they think it's the start
Speaker 1: second coming up, who knows. My favorite thing about about
Speaker 1: this whole election process is like at every turn the
Speaker 1: Republican talking point is basically like, hey, that dude's a
Speaker 1: good person, and then the Democrats like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: i am absolutely not. I am not I'm for fracking.
Speaker 1: I am not a socialist. I am right. No, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: fun the earth. I'm here to funk the earth, just
Speaker 1: like guys, I'm all in on earth fucking. I'll blow
Speaker 1: it up right the fun out. You want to try me, Actually,
Speaker 1: we just changed our campaign, Biden, Harris, frack around and
Speaker 1: find out. I'll this place an indigenous person right now,
Speaker 1: try me right exactly for these votes in small pockets
Speaker 1: of the country. Yeah, it's really something one of the
Speaker 1: people Biden the Biden campaign has announced as part of
Speaker 1: their transition team was somebody who had vocally supported separation
Speaker 1: of uh why to defend it legally in court? Right right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Legally sorry, legally and vocally h Cecilia Munus Yeah yeah
Speaker 1: uh John. Also if the dude who's running in the
Speaker 1: runoff in Georgia for Senate did an interview where he
Speaker 1: just rattled off a bunch of points where he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't support medicare for all. No, I don't support
Speaker 1: free college or whatever and all these things, and just like,
Speaker 1: but you just did like we're doing that over this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on. But again it's but that shows you too.
Speaker 1: I don't know who knows what you know, what kind
Speaker 1: of leash pulling is happening at the d n C.
Speaker 1: To be like, you want me to if we can
Speaker 1: cut this money off from over here, will yeah, if
Speaker 1: you want. But also they need to, like democrats need
Speaker 1: to put asses in the seats, So you should just
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, what worked in Georgia. Let's listen to
Speaker 1: the fucking people on the ground that did it with
Speaker 1: barely little money, rather than Bloomberg's of the world that
Speaker 1: farted away a hundred million and all for what all
Speaker 1: that spending in Florida, and you completely miss missed the
Speaker 1: fucking what the actual activity was on the ground. I
Speaker 1: think Bloomberger was just trying to buy his way onto SNL, Right,
Speaker 1: how bad. Yeah, he's just like I really just love
Speaker 1: fred Armison's work, you know, I think, uh, I think
Speaker 1: she's the ideal person to portray me, you know. And
Speaker 1: I'll drop a hundred mill to get it done. I'll
Speaker 1: do it. I'll buy the show. Don't don't test me.
Speaker 1: I'll buy NBC if I have. But but I'll do
Speaker 1: it incredibly indirectly in a way, the most ready way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's not clear what my intent is at all
Speaker 1: with just going back to the out of control spread
Speaker 1: of COVID night teen, Like, it is a situation where
Speaker 1: so the curve is basically the same across America, Right,
Speaker 1: It's just that it's like slightly lower, uh, Like the
Speaker 1: Biden counties are below the Trump counties, but they have
Speaker 1: the same they're drawing the same picture essentially, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: same directionally, they're the same. Um and people in Germany
Speaker 1: are beyond contact tracing, Like basically they they're saying that
Speaker 1: over fifty percent of the new cases in these countries
Speaker 1: including the United States, Germany, France, Uh, the UK, don't know, Spain,
Speaker 1: don't know where these new cases are coming from. Like
Speaker 1: whereas in Asian countries that like did contact tracing from
Speaker 1: the beginning, Uh, they are still able to figure out, okay,
Speaker 1: you got it from this person and like kind of
Speaker 1: keep a like map it out a little bit, whereas
Speaker 1: in the United States is just like we're flying blind essentially.
Speaker 1: And I think it has to do with the individualism
Speaker 1: to death. Were individualism ng ourselves to death? I just
Speaker 1: can't think like that. You know what, when we tried
Speaker 1: to do contact tracing, I think it was we did
Speaker 1: a maximum of like four contacts, and in Korea I
Speaker 1: think it was ten contacts. So they're you know, they're
Speaker 1: able to understand. I think just like conceive of people
Speaker 1: as part of a collective, you know, part of a planet.
Speaker 1: You know that you are a nation in which you
Speaker 1: want to look out for your people and citizens as
Speaker 1: the rest of this country. Yeah. Yeah, speaking of a
Speaker 1: Trump conceded, Wait, no he didn't. He had a tweet
Speaker 1: over the weekend where he was like Biden one because
Speaker 1: the election was rigged. No vote watchers are observers allowed,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wait he won because okay, okay, wait
Speaker 1: a second. The seconds later, yeah, he tweets he only
Speaker 1: went in the eyes of the fake news media, I
Speaker 1: can see nothing. We have a long way to go.
Speaker 1: This is a rigged election. It's like someone's been like, yo,
Speaker 1: did you It feels like someone texted him like not
Speaker 1: that this happened, but the kind of ship is like
Speaker 1: he tweeted that, and someone goes, yo, you can see.
Speaker 1: Bro's like like, Yo, your tweet looked like you conceded. Bro,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. This just looks like some I
Speaker 1: can I can see nothing. Yeah, I've conceded nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: He's like, they do I believe in nothing. I'm a nihilist.
Speaker 1: I believe in nothing. Yeah. Really I can see nothing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. Uh so, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was an interesting back and forth. Mean, when then he's
Speaker 1: just tweeting, firing off all kinds of just chock full
Speaker 1: of bullshit tweets about the election, the results as you
Speaker 1: would believe he would and all that, or during the
Speaker 1: million mega March, which uh they can't they were you know, unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Well I'm just saying in d C they were only
Speaker 1: able to conjure about ten people up, uh to to
Speaker 1: show up for this thing, and you know it's I
Speaker 1: mean it was. However, there were violent clashes between these
Speaker 1: people and you know, counter protesters, but they had so
Speaker 1: much police protection. Some of these clips I was watching,
Speaker 1: I thought I was looking at a like city sanctioned
Speaker 1: parade through this city, like rather than some kind of protest.
Speaker 1: It felt like there were police like on the perimeter
Speaker 1: and be like, yep, just don't you know, keep waving
Speaker 1: your Confederate flags in the streets, no problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish I remembered who said this, but somebody was like,
Speaker 1: what uh When people ask where the police when the
Speaker 1: KKK shows up, he's like, where the fund is Peter
Speaker 1: Parker when Spider Man shows up? Exactly the same dude, exact. Mean,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. There's this hologram police officer. Yeah. This
Speaker 1: other thing is like they the other screams that are
Speaker 1: going on is all like fuck Fox News, were done
Speaker 1: with Fox. The big thing where there are people being
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden, we reject Joe Biden. He's not our president.
Speaker 1: We will do whatever we have to, and people are like,
Speaker 1: it's funny like even when this dude is screaming until
Speaker 1: it's like juggulars blowing on his neck, like even the
Speaker 1: people around him are like yeah, like and he's like,
Speaker 1: we gotta take our undream back. This is on Fox.
Speaker 1: This is just like random you know, on Twitter looking
Speaker 1: at people do live feeds, other journalists just capturing clips
Speaker 1: of like the you know, pockets of activity throughout the
Speaker 1: million magal March. But it's just interesting because like, it
Speaker 1: really is this energy of I granted there were many
Speaker 1: Democrats whore like not my president or whatever, but not
Speaker 1: in the sense that it was like I'm I'm rebelling
Speaker 1: against the country, like because it's not like those are
Speaker 1: the exact stakes for people. But these people are like
Speaker 1: acting like, oh, Bining is not my new dad and
Speaker 1: they never will be, so I don't ask me to
Speaker 1: call him dad. And it's just like, yo, what what
Speaker 1: do we do with that energy? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like I feel like because in one way, if it
Speaker 1: were the step child or parents situation, like Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not your dad, Okay, so then you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: start paying these bills, you gonna go to work, you're
Speaker 1: gonna start cooking and cleaning. Like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's a way to step dad. Uh, these maga people,
Speaker 1: but that energy is definitely there of just like with
Speaker 1: their body being like, he's not that the president. I
Speaker 1: don't care what anyone says. It's like, oh, I'm not
Speaker 1: the I'm not the president. Okay, how about you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta order these drone tricks. You gotta, you gotta
Speaker 1: we're gonna do these war crimes. Yeah, who's gonna who's
Speaker 1: gonna install Who's who's war crimes? Who's gonna install neoliberal
Speaker 1: despot in the global South? Huh? You you because it's
Speaker 1: if I'm not the president. Okay, all right, probably you
Speaker 1: don't even You couldn't even point a Yemen on a map.
Speaker 1: That's what I That's what I thought. Yeah, point to
Speaker 1: the oil rich nations on the on the map. Huh exactly.
Speaker 1: You don't even know where the emerging nations are losing
Speaker 1: out of here. Go to your room, clean it up.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. All right, great, bit a plus and we're
Speaker 1: going to break and we're back. And before we move
Speaker 1: on from the Trump administration's response to to the election.
Speaker 1: We want to check in with with their legal cases
Speaker 1: because you know, this is the fate of the country
Speaker 1: hangs in the balance. Are they are they going to
Speaker 1: be able to stop that steel? It's um so, I
Speaker 1: mean they do. They took some fucking ass kickings in
Speaker 1: the court over the last few days, Like we're to
Speaker 1: the point where the judge like, probably you're wasting my
Speaker 1: time with this ship. Uh. And you know, on Sunday,
Speaker 1: on the Sunday shows, every like uh, like I believe
Speaker 1: every Republican senator declined to go and meet the press,
Speaker 1: like they no one wanted to talk to anyone about anything.
Speaker 1: So then Fox News kind of became this like weird
Speaker 1: graveyard and that what they did was at a certain point,
Speaker 1: Um Sydney Powell, who was on the legal team for
Speaker 1: Trump's you know, steel stopping squad, uh, came on to
Speaker 1: talk to Maria Barter Romo and just so you know,
Speaker 1: prior to this, over the weekend, Trump was like, I
Speaker 1: now proclaim Rudy Giuliani spearhead of all of my legal efforts,
Speaker 1: and we're like, thank god he followed his worst instincts
Speaker 1: on this and hired this horny old goblin who don't
Speaker 1: know how to wear air pods. So this moment, we
Speaker 1: have Sydney Powell coming on Maria Bardaromo. She's trying, you know,
Speaker 1: like she's definitely all in to try and help the president,
Speaker 1: but even throwing underhanders to his legal team, like they
Speaker 1: can't fucking articulate a single thing, like not even anything
Speaker 1: that resembles a legal argument. So this is Sydney Powell
Speaker 1: with some real low energy scamming about how the president
Speaker 1: actually has millions of votes that need to be counted
Speaker 1: because we're fixing to overturn the results of the election
Speaker 1: and multiple states and President Trump won by not just
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of but by millions of votes that
Speaker 1: were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for
Speaker 1: that purpose. So they're talking about the dominion voting machines, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't the other things, it wasn't the poll watchers.
Speaker 1: They're like hot potato, like jumping from rock to rug. No,
Speaker 1: that's not actually about this now, No, okay, that one
Speaker 1: didn't work. Now it's about this. So barter Romo actually
Speaker 1: follows up because you know, like anything, she's like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: like great, millions of votes. How do we do this?
Speaker 1: Like put us on, put me on, get get thee give,
Speaker 1: give us a taste, drop the mixtape. We have so
Speaker 1: much evidence. I feel like it's coming in through a fire. Huse. Wow.
Speaker 1: So Sydney, you feel that you will be able to
Speaker 1: prove this? Do you have the software in your possession?
Speaker 1: Do you have the hardware in your possession? How will
Speaker 1: you prove this, Sydney? Well, I've got lots of ways
Speaker 1: to prove it, Maria, but I'm not gonna tell on
Speaker 1: national TV what all we have. I just can't do that. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you have very Okay. It feels like when you
Speaker 1: ask a kid like who who broke the vase and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, no, uh it was it was, you know,
Speaker 1: because you told me not to. Oh you got Oh
Speaker 1: you got a girlfriend who goes to San Diego State University.
Speaker 1: You in eighth grade? How you got a girlfriend goes
Speaker 1: to college? Prove it? Prove it to you? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: got don't Yeah yeah, no, Just that's my cousin. You
Speaker 1: think I'm I'm not gonna flex in front of everybody
Speaker 1: like that, you know, like that's that's in poor taste.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dunk on the Nation on Foxnooze right now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it really is even everything like it's like
Speaker 1: we've got it in a fire hose and millions of
Speaker 1: like even they're just so much evidence coming in. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen the legal route. Any fuckery is going
Speaker 1: to have to happen some other ways. What have I
Speaker 1: just watched walked on stage at a show. It was
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, bro, I got so many fucking jokes
Speaker 1: you don't even know I got. Look, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do them all right now because I don't want
Speaker 1: to like blow the whole thing. But like I got oh,
Speaker 1: I got jokes per days understand, Like I gotta save
Speaker 1: it for the special. The joke is this, yo, I
Speaker 1: gotta you know, it's gonna go on Netflix. You can
Speaker 1: watch it on Netflix later. But like, right, I can't
Speaker 1: do it all right now. I can't do it all
Speaker 1: right now. I've been like, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I've just been writing so much. I got
Speaker 1: so many thoughts in my head. It's like it's coming
Speaker 1: out of a fire hose. I can I can tell
Speaker 1: you what a couple of the jokes are about. But
Speaker 1: I can't tell me that actual jokes right here on right,
Speaker 1: it's actually more like a comedian. Yeah, it's actually more
Speaker 1: like you're you're on Netflix doing your specials on national TV,
Speaker 1: and you're like, I can't do these jokes on National
Speaker 1: TV on what if HBO? What if HBO calls huh?
Speaker 1: What if? I won't do it on HBO either ship,
Speaker 1: But believe these jokes are top rate A one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So and the stop the steel? Did they stop the steel?
Speaker 1: Do we know the people who showed up? They did not.
Speaker 1: Trump did drive by them at one point on his
Speaker 1: way to go golfing, and it was interesting to hear
Speaker 1: the people's response to that, where they were just like
Speaker 1: he drove by. There's like an eyewitnesses um like journalist
Speaker 1: account of like somebody was just like hunched down, like
Speaker 1: rocking back and forth, being like he was right there.
Speaker 1: If he passes away before the mental gymnastics, these people
Speaker 1: are going to do, I can't even imagine what Like
Speaker 1: there's no way on earth where there's not some conspiracy
Speaker 1: tied to what however he physically expires, whether through old
Speaker 1: days or Anything's like, no, man, you see the doctor
Speaker 1: that was working on him, went to this school and
Speaker 1: his professor was this guy who actually knows Van Jones
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. It's like, yeah, reality, he just
Speaker 1: leaned too far forward. Yeah right, just those lips were
Speaker 1: a little too much on the back. Yeah, he died.
Speaker 1: He died looking like Michael Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video.
Speaker 1: Got got his heels hooked because heels hooked in a
Speaker 1: fucking floorboard and just fell over. Right, he does not
Speaker 1: look stable in his feet. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 1: what this lockdown is doing to our brains. Uh, Miles,
Speaker 1: you brought a article from the BBC about a kind
Speaker 1: of a study or I don't know where were they
Speaker 1: using science or speculation? Well, they are using science, and
Speaker 1: then just what neuro neuroscientists just know to be true
Speaker 1: about how our brains work and like and and a
Speaker 1: lot of people like experts themselves experiencing it too. I've
Speaker 1: not Yeah. Yeah, like my grandfather, he's ninety three, and
Speaker 1: he he used to go to his church social group
Speaker 1: and do ship like that. But it's all old people
Speaker 1: that he hangs out with, so that that's gone down.
Speaker 1: He's like less talkative. I mean, it's very pronounced they say,
Speaker 1: and like especially like convalescent homes and uh like you know,
Speaker 1: old folks homes for lack of a better term. And
Speaker 1: so they're saying, you know, the lack of socializing and
Speaker 1: isolation is definitely a contributing factor to how like our
Speaker 1: memories are even being informed and store ward. So you know,
Speaker 1: the isolation part I think most people can figure out,
Speaker 1: because yeah, like we're just we've completely changed the rhythm
Speaker 1: of our days. But you know a lot of things
Speaker 1: is like it's these smaller conversations where if we don't
Speaker 1: feel you know, like any kind of talk you have
Speaker 1: by the refrigerator, a water cooler, by the elevator, walking
Speaker 1: in somewhere, walking out somewhere, like we're always just like talking,
Speaker 1: like we always just have something to tell, like talk
Speaker 1: about we can talk about what we did last night,
Speaker 1: what we're doing this weekend, what even some dumb ship
Speaker 1: you talked about your friend with on the phone. And
Speaker 1: that repetition of stories, apparently they're saying that helps to
Speaker 1: actually keep our memories sort of consolidated and organized within
Speaker 1: our minds. So like they call them episodic memories. So
Speaker 1: if we don't if we're missing on that socializing aspect,
Speaker 1: it's those things don't crystallize in the same way they
Speaker 1: do and like, oh, I'm I'm telling my weekend story
Speaker 1: three times today, you know, like you it's like you
Speaker 1: know that that momentum helps build our memories. And then
Speaker 1: when we do get the chance to chat, they're saying like,
Speaker 1: because we are isolated and we aren't having we're not
Speaker 1: doing as much as we normally do, we also have
Speaker 1: fewer stories to tell when we see each other, Like
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like we're almost like, yeah, how's
Speaker 1: it been, Like I don't like everyone's kind of in
Speaker 1: the same thing where we we look at the same
Speaker 1: we sit in the same place, like at the same screen,
Speaker 1: do the same thing, and they're because of like this
Speaker 1: sort of cycle of very little change, it slowly works
Speaker 1: its way into, you know, affecting our ability to form
Speaker 1: and recall memories, because even like it's something as simple
Speaker 1: as people feel like holy sh it, Like normally I
Speaker 1: can remember my fucking teachers from kindergarten on I can
Speaker 1: tell you every single fucking teacher I had. And it's
Speaker 1: like the other day it took me fifteen minutes to
Speaker 1: remember who this teacher was or whatever, And that's all
Speaker 1: part of just kind of like we're not fully using
Speaker 1: all of those faculties as much as we can be
Speaker 1: as a result of this lockdown. Yeah, I was, I
Speaker 1: was saying. I think early on, like I had the
Speaker 1: same feeling as when I would always park in the
Speaker 1: same parking garage. And like after it was like six
Speaker 1: months of parking in the same parking garage because like
Speaker 1: all those memories just like kind of collapsed on each other.
Speaker 1: I could never remember where the funk my car was
Speaker 1: because it was just all like one endless expanse of
Speaker 1: memories of that parking garage. I feel like, same deal
Speaker 1: with now. Just like being at home constantly working recording
Speaker 1: from home, you just don't have the those events that
Speaker 1: get your heart rate up a little bit, where you like,
Speaker 1: you know, go somewhere, drive to work, getting mad at
Speaker 1: the person who cut you off, go to work, tell
Speaker 1: people about the person who cut you off. You know,
Speaker 1: just dumb ship that we take for granted. That is
Speaker 1: like what you know, our our brain is meant to
Speaker 1: have that social interaction. Um, I'm loving the hell out
Speaker 1: of not having to, you know, because I have social anxiety.
Speaker 1: Not having to be anxious around people all the time,
Speaker 1: but I don't think overall it's good for my health
Speaker 1: and for my mental health. Yeah, that anxiety is a
Speaker 1: good long term Yeah, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: this past week has been like the first maybe like
Speaker 1: one of two times I've left New York and definitely
Speaker 1: the only time I've left my home for an extended period.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the most granted it was last week,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's just the most vivid string
Speaker 1: of memories that I've had six months. But yeah, because
Speaker 1: that's what it is when we're just isolated and we've
Speaker 1: especially for people who work from home, you just we
Speaker 1: don't have these cues that we normally have, like even commuting, right,
Speaker 1: Like you use your hippocampus to like navigate the earth
Speaker 1: to get home to your destination. And when you don't
Speaker 1: do that that we're starting to like we're using that less.
Speaker 1: And then also like everyone's on the same we sit
Speaker 1: in the same chair, looking at the same zoom meeting,
Speaker 1: he's talking to the same people. Like that also blends
Speaker 1: around and like this neuroscientists saying, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: playing It's like you need black keys on a piano
Speaker 1: or else. You don't know where the funk you're at
Speaker 1: if it's all white keys. And that's what happens with
Speaker 1: our our memories because we're not punctuating things properly, like yeah,
Speaker 1: they're there, but our way to differentiate is completely lost
Speaker 1: because we don't navigate like the roads like we used to.
Speaker 1: If we do things, it might be the same thing.
Speaker 1: So a way to get around that is something like
Speaker 1: as simple as like if you walk your dogs or
Speaker 1: you go on walks, go a completely fucking different route
Speaker 1: because most of the time we'll walk the same fucking
Speaker 1: route just to be like, oh it's time to do
Speaker 1: my walk or I'm gonna go here. Do just do
Speaker 1: ship like that because the more you're putting yourself in different,
Speaker 1: different space, you're now looking at new ship. You might
Speaker 1: hear different ship. It's just like these subtle changes to
Speaker 1: that can help go a long way. And even if
Speaker 1: you're stuck at home and you really can't go outside,
Speaker 1: like they say, even just try something completely different, like
Speaker 1: if you've never fucked with puzzles, like just fucking like
Speaker 1: give yourself something to try too. Because the more we
Speaker 1: can break up the monotony of it. That's just gonna
Speaker 1: help sort of give our you know, lockdown lifestyle is
Speaker 1: a little more texture that we can you know, still
Speaker 1: remember things because if you said something to me about
Speaker 1: May the month of May, I couldn't tell you a
Speaker 1: fucking thing because we used to be like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because I was two months before the trip that I
Speaker 1: normally go on, which is in June. That that that that.
Speaker 1: But because we don't have any of that, it's really
Speaker 1: important that we're giving ourselves like enough things to stimulate
Speaker 1: our minds even though we're comfortable that, but we still
Speaker 1: need that flexibility with our brains. Yeah. I started, uh,
Speaker 1: I started skateboarding at twenty nine. And the last thing
Speaker 1: I remember before that is getting diarrhea in Ghana. It's
Speaker 1: palm oil. Yeah. No, I I I ate beach meat, meat,
Speaker 1: meat on the beach. I'd ate beach meat in Ghana too.
Speaker 1: I had goat on a skewer. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I had. That's what I had. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I know people are like, you want to do that,
Speaker 1: I don't know they're eating it. I'm good. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: get sick. No. The thing that I got when I
Speaker 1: was in Ghana was just the amount of palm oil.
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't used to palm oil being in a
Speaker 1: lot of food, so that was I think that was
Speaker 1: the one thing I had to get used to, is
Speaker 1: the amount of palm oil that's used in cooking. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that's been my whole life. I think. I just like
Speaker 1: I hadn't been to Africa, but since I was sixteen,
Speaker 1: I went to Nigeria, and I think my body just
Speaker 1: lost all the enzymes or whatever, or maybe we were cooked.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, either way, it's always funny telling
Speaker 1: people I got a stomach virus and then I say
Speaker 1: it was in Ghana, and they get so much more concerned, like,
Speaker 1: oh God, like, did you did you have visions? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you like see visions? Yeah? No, no, not ourselves
Speaker 1: and our body like completely swap out, like within a
Speaker 1: period of six years seven seven, that's wild. We're just
Speaker 1: like completely new organisms seven years, um seven to ten
Speaker 1: years damn. Okay, Yeah, I knew when that happens because
Speaker 1: I could be a little more on top of it.
Speaker 1: You're like, yo, man, I'm about to get my whole
Speaker 1: new cell shaped up in about two months, bro, let's talk.
Speaker 1: You know what it's all reset Like yeah, like, trust me,
Speaker 1: I will get to this project. I just need my
Speaker 1: ship to reset cycle out. That will definitely be a
Speaker 1: SPA treatment in the future where you let go and
Speaker 1: they just like accelerate it so like get all your
Speaker 1: cells switched out. So yeah, yeah, just let me go
Speaker 1: re up right quick? Yeah? Oh ship? I like broccoli now,
Speaker 1: that's wild, Yeah, because I feel like that's the same
Speaker 1: that's the same time period they say your your sense
Speaker 1: of taste like evolves over it's like every seven to
Speaker 1: ten years. You oh right, you starting different foods. By
Speaker 1: twenty I liked mushrooms finally, Yeah, mushrooms, So it was
Speaker 1: twenty and that makes sense around if we're going by
Speaker 1: sevens and tens and damn, that's wild. I started doing
Speaker 1: mushrooms when I was like fifteen. Oh no. But put
Speaker 1: that ship on a pizza. Um, one thing that I'm
Speaker 1: probably not gonna do, but some people are doing. Uh.
Speaker 1: The NYPD busted an illegal fight club over the weekend,
Speaker 1: just just a warehouse of people beating the ship out
Speaker 1: of each other and the Bronx. That's yeah. I think
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, we've talked before about how
Speaker 1: like cuddle parties are something that our society evolved to
Speaker 1: like take the place of you know, being around people
Speaker 1: and you know, just having far more jis or whatever
Speaker 1: people used to do. They got written out of the
Speaker 1: history books. But you say far more gis. I guess,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what what we used
Speaker 1: to do. Probably probably some far moregies. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like we we have ways of evolving huge
Speaker 1: so that we can like get human contact. And like
Speaker 1: I feel like fighting people might be like one of
Speaker 1: those things that people are doing. Just like I don't
Speaker 1: want a fight club. Yeah you you were in a
Speaker 1: fight club. I was going a fight club in high school. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: very in what state? Alabama? Obviously. No, I went to
Speaker 1: a very weird high school that was kind of in
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, and so I lived on campus.
Speaker 1: It was a boarding school, and so, like, I don't
Speaker 1: remember how it evolved. I think somebody just got a
Speaker 1: pair of boxing gloves from home and it became a
Speaker 1: thing where we just like we were just like go
Speaker 1: to the gym like every night for a while and
Speaker 1: just sucking fight, just beat each other's jack and then
Speaker 1: like um and then a librarian was there like super
Speaker 1: late one night and like poked her head into the gym.
Speaker 1: Didn't say anything. But then the next day they were like,
Speaker 1: hey 'all can't do that. It's not okay, Like obvious's
Speaker 1: like she's like, hey, let me hire to you. You're
Speaker 1: telegraphing your jab man. Yeah, is like you're never gonna
Speaker 1: make it, just like quit right now? Is Are you
Speaker 1: sure you're not a south ball? I was watching you.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. Seems like you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of heart but not a lot of technique. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. What a weird comedy that would be.
Speaker 1: You're just getting this boarding school in the fight club
Speaker 1: and then the librarian is like this this woman boxer
Speaker 1: tech coach, like work with you? Okay, but I mean
Speaker 1: she was in she was in the gym, right, who
Speaker 1: knows right exactly? Yeah, he's just training other young prospects. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, so was this but was this thing going on?
Speaker 1: Like was this a product of pandemic or they just
Speaker 1: finally caught onto the wild fight club that's been probably
Speaker 1: going on for a minute. I actually don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like they had have been going on before. Yeah, probably, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I can't see how it would. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: something straight out of anyone who listens to Bodego Boys
Speaker 1: knows the culture of the Bronx. This one paragraph right here.
Speaker 1: In New York City, Sheriff Joseph Fucito told gotham Is
Speaker 1: that his deputies first spotted event organizers with boom v
Speaker 1: i p events unloading chairs, tables and velvet rope used
Speaker 1: for crowd control before they went into the location where
Speaker 1: people were smoking hookah and drinking alcohol. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: there it is. But I wonder too if because there's
Speaker 1: no sports too. It's also like, fucking man, I'll go
Speaker 1: to this fight club, like I just need to see
Speaker 1: each other, right, Yeah, I'm definitely going to an unsanctioned
Speaker 1: fight club. Even better, Yeah, exactly, which I have some smokers,
Speaker 1: go see a smoker. As they say in the article
Speaker 1: I read on it, they definitely like highlighted that it
Speaker 1: was unsanctioned. Was there sanctioned fight clubs? Exactly? Yeah? Right,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess boxing gyms, but yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1: But like but even then, like you know, like when
Speaker 1: it fights, like if you're fighting an unsanctioned fight, out
Speaker 1: of your like you're like, yeah, it's a smoker, bro,
Speaker 1: Like just so you know it's not yeah, mhm waites
Speaker 1: smoker a term for unsanctioned, un sanctioned fight. That's the one.
Speaker 1: That's the one that I've heard around people who do
Speaker 1: like muy tai and boxing around me. Wow, oh yeah
Speaker 1: I do, aggressive young man. Yeah no, I know the
Speaker 1: unsanctioned fight seeing totally. Yeah. Yeah, but you're you're but
Speaker 1: you caught you you got your stripes and wheeling West Virginia.
Speaker 1: It was different. Yeah, so you probably only got involved
Speaker 1: just because somebody stole like a family trinket or something. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: Like and you gotta you know, you gotta stay go
Speaker 1: down to the barn fights and then start around for
Speaker 1: the farm plot of It's fully the plot of a
