Speaker 1: fasting during the quarantine. This guy's doing like a hit
Speaker 1: workouts and then taking ice baths. He has a whole
Speaker 1: Instagram where he doesn't follow any of us that I
Speaker 1: came across, where he's just posting stories, putting in work bath.
Speaker 1: I actually found that lifting while in an ice bath
Speaker 1: is the best way to just kind of keep assive
Speaker 1: games if the rocky workout exactly, that's right, that's it.
Speaker 1: Capital No, I feel bad all around. Good I mean
Speaker 1: good that we're all on the same page as all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, how about you? How how everything's great? I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw I got engaged. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, very excited. It couldn't have happened without
Speaker 1: the quarantine. Uh. It just you know, you just spent
Speaker 1: so much time with the person and like thinking about
Speaker 1: the future, and I were like mapping it out, like okay,
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, like we could live with your folks,
Speaker 1: or we could live with my older brother. You just
Speaker 1: start planning like that, and I'm like, you know, if
Speaker 1: I end up having to live with her parents, I
Speaker 1: gotta be her husband at at least, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's what you won't be able to survive, Steve.
Speaker 1: You know, she's a she's a real top shelf white woman.
Speaker 1: So when she gets the inheritance, I want my legal
Speaker 1: share of that. You know that in now. Go to
Speaker 1: fabric dot com to get your will for free now,
Speaker 1: and I hope you do include that in your personalized
Speaker 1: vals as well. Yeah, lock in my share, I gotta
Speaker 1: lock it in. I mean it was a congress man.
Speaker 1: I honestly, it's it wast ever since you've been on
Speaker 1: the show, Like it's been an evolution about talking about
Speaker 1: you and your relationships and things like that. So it's
Speaker 1: nice to see it, you know, like the last couple
Speaker 1: of times you've been like, you know, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's stopping me really Like it's not
Speaker 1: like I don't like I don't love this person and
Speaker 1: I don't want to be with them forever. It's just
Speaker 1: now that it's you know, you've gotten to that. I
Speaker 1: guess the formalities of it, but isn't any different or
Speaker 1: just purely for like so I'm telling you it feels
Speaker 1: so good. But you know, something that happened. I'm non monogamous.
Speaker 1: She isn't. She can if she wants to, but that's
Speaker 1: just not a thing. But I dated someone that went
Speaker 1: kind of halfway through the quarantine too, and I was
Speaker 1: able to see how that how we dealt with that
Speaker 1: as a couple, and I mean the communication was great.
Speaker 1: Everything was just went well. And so I was like Okay,
Speaker 1: what the funk am I doing now? And also I
Speaker 1: truly believe this too. I know it sounds like a joke,
Speaker 1: but a man, if you could have a wife and
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, you can't have two girlfriends. And so I'm like,
Speaker 1: I've I've got to make this official. I've got to
Speaker 1: be a respectable person. And now because of the quarantine
Speaker 1: and everything, and because she didn't pressure me or and
Speaker 1: it evolved, it happened so slow. We've been together almost
Speaker 1: six years. I right now. Once I made the decision
Speaker 1: in my mind and I was like, start looking for rings. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I absolutely cannot wait to be married to her.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for it. And I didn't think I
Speaker 1: would ever feel this way again. So I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I'm very stoked. Even on the idea of marriage. I'm like,
Speaker 1: super stoked I'm married. I've married a lot of people
Speaker 1: in my past because I used to be a minister,
Speaker 1: and uh, I I like, I got to a point
Speaker 1: after my my divorce where I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how much I believe in this thing. But even now,
Speaker 1: just in the past couple of months, I've been like,
Speaker 1: I fucking love marriage. Man, I can't wait to do this.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for if anybody, if there's any he's like
Speaker 1: gang out there that wants me to marry them, just
Speaker 1: give me a call. I'll hop on the first plane.
Speaker 1: COVID Damn, I don't give a show. Minister energy right there. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: uh well, congrats man, thank you. That's uh. When we
Speaker 1: usually ask people up top like what they've been up to,
Speaker 1: the response is usually not as productive and life affirming
Speaker 1: as that. So I love to hear it, man, love
Speaker 1: to hear it. All Right, we're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: gonna tell our listeners a few of the things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're gonna talk about Sidney pal Baby Um.
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about her on yesterday's episode, which
Speaker 1: was recorded before the trumple administration decided to throw her
Speaker 1: under the bus slash distance themselves from her. Um. She
Speaker 1: is the lawyer who has been just thrown out wild
Speaker 1: Q and on conspiracy theories. She is j low to
Speaker 1: their Mariah carry that's right. They do not know her.
Speaker 1: I don't know her. We will talk about more evidence
Speaker 1: that masks work. I think I had referenced the fact
Speaker 1: that there were like some studies I think they were
Speaker 1: actually out of Europe that were saying, like, maybe masks
Speaker 1: don't work, but they do they work. There's there's more
Speaker 1: data backing that. Shut up. Um, we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the either sophisticated voter suppression or sad in fighting that's
Speaker 1: happening in the Republican Party in Georgia. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Amazon spying on labor. We'll talk about the Rockefeller
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, which we had called very sad looking. Um,
Speaker 1: all that plenty more, But first, Steve, we like to
Speaker 1: task our guests, what's something from your search history. Um,
Speaker 1: this is a little crazy, but I looked up. I
Speaker 1: tweeted this late last night that the mega church that
Speaker 1: I used to work at that I grew up with
Speaker 1: this I guess this has happened in the past couple
Speaker 1: of years. I just wasn't paying attention. But the senior pastor,
Speaker 1: who is brilliant, is a brilliant preacher and stuff like that, Uh,
Speaker 1: kind of stepped aside so his son that I grew
Speaker 1: up with could take over. And his son is one
Speaker 1: of the worst preachers I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I knew he was bad. I knew he was bad
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. He's a year older than me. I
Speaker 1: grew up with this guy and the the same draft
Speaker 1: class basically preach. I mean, I I know this guy.
Speaker 1: I know his ex wife now and then his My
Speaker 1: first girlfriend was the sister his sister too. I know
Speaker 1: this family so well. But I found out that and
Speaker 1: I started watching his clips on YouTube, and um, you guys,
Speaker 1: I tweeted it, but I'm like, for real, gonna tag
Speaker 1: you guys in a clip because it's the worst preacher
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. It makes zero sense.
Speaker 1: If you're no preaching, you can tell you all the reasons.
Speaker 1: I can tell you all the reasons about why it's
Speaker 1: bad too. But if you know preaching, it's even worse.
Speaker 1: But any layman could look at it and say, this
Speaker 1: guy's out of control, and I would. I Actually the
Speaker 1: search history was I looked up his new wife and
Speaker 1: I found out that she's a member of this weird
Speaker 1: other mega church family from back East called the munth Sies.
Speaker 1: So this is faith community church. I looked into this too. Also.
Speaker 1: I posted this clip on Twitter. It's kind of blowing
Speaker 1: up and I guess this church that bought their property
Speaker 1: in West Kovina for four million dollars about twenty five
Speaker 1: million years ago is selling it now for thirty million,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what they're gonna do with that money.
Speaker 1: So I'm like the combination of looking into his preaching
Speaker 1: and me knowing this family and knowing like the kind
Speaker 1: of shady ways they're doing. Pretty sure I'm going to
Speaker 1: do like a limited series podcasts on it. And because
Speaker 1: I know this family and they're gonna try to run
Speaker 1: away with this thirty million, And all I have to
Speaker 1: do is post pictures of this guy's preaching and you'll
Speaker 1: understand what a fucking joke this is. And this is
Speaker 1: in West Kovina. This is in l A County. So
Speaker 1: I don't want you know, people think of mega churches
Speaker 1: is happening in the south and ship this is a
Speaker 1: half an hour from us, guys, So I wanna look
Speaker 1: in West Covina, you know, shout out the ikea, West Colvina.
Speaker 1: So Eric dud used to hook me up with quarter
Speaker 1: pounds of cush out of West Colvina. Great town, Great town.
Speaker 1: So I looked up this guy's wife and so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that was my last internet church. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: your Twitter page right now because I was like, because
Speaker 1: I grew up in churches, going to you know, K
Speaker 1: through twelfth grade was either Lutheran or Catholic school. So
Speaker 1: I'm I've been around the Word of Christ and looking
Speaker 1: at this clip I have. I'm just watching it on
Speaker 1: mute and hearing you, I'm like, oh, yeah, this dude
Speaker 1: is full of ship. But I just just to indulge us.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play a bit of a sound bite
Speaker 1: of it just so we can get an idea. I
Speaker 1: just love the way it captures it. Here. Verse one says,
Speaker 1: the Lord is, how do you start? This is how
Speaker 1: it starts. The Lord is we talk with people, and
Speaker 1: people we start our sentences with the world is. The
Speaker 1: world is falling apart. You're talking with some creeper in
Speaker 1: your life. The government. The government is Okay. I have
Speaker 1: to stop there because I'm not Yeah, you're right, that
Speaker 1: is on the most basic level. I gotta keep watching.
Speaker 1: I just don't want to put people through this. I
Speaker 1: don't want to um. Yeah, I was gonna actually play
Speaker 1: the clip. I had the idea to have it and
Speaker 1: bring it, but you have to watch it. I don't
Speaker 1: want to put anyone through that. I'm so mad because
Speaker 1: his dad really is brilliant. He made me fall in
Speaker 1: love with the Bible and the Word of God and
Speaker 1: the fact that he just passed it onto this piece
Speaker 1: of ship who says he's a legit bad person and
Speaker 1: he hasn't he like, he hasn't read his Bible. I
Speaker 1: know the Bible, and I know his dad's preaching, and
Speaker 1: I've I've been watching hours of this guy's preaching. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's available on YouTube Dan Reef Faith Community Church and
Speaker 1: uh go check it out. And I know his dad's preaching,
Speaker 1: and he's basically ripped off a ton of his dad's
Speaker 1: preaching too. So I'm like, I'm pissed. He's like, let
Speaker 1: me just let me just free style off the top
Speaker 1: something I was writing from a sermon. How about this love,
Speaker 1: his patient, love, his kind, love does not envy or boast. Wait,
Speaker 1: you said, what does Corinthia get the funk out of
Speaker 1: my face? America? American nepotism is just so they're about
Speaker 1: to come up on a thirty million Yes, and you
Speaker 1: know churches are nonprofits. I know this church. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I haven't been this excited for a project because I've
Speaker 1: I've people started messaging me that used to go to
Speaker 1: the church, a lot of former pastors. They've they've always
Speaker 1: come to me because I used to work here, and
Speaker 1: they've been messaging me things. And I don't know what.
Speaker 1: It's a nonprofit so they can't steal the money. But
Speaker 1: I know what that family does a lot of times
Speaker 1: is they hire every member of the family. Because it's
Speaker 1: a church. It's tax free, so everyone gets like a
Speaker 1: hundred grand to do a different job, or you're do
Speaker 1: a different bunch of different jobs. I know his dad.
Speaker 1: This is West Covina Church. They started forty years ago.
Speaker 1: The dad lives in Newport Beach and they used to
Speaker 1: just come into West Covina and preach and go back
Speaker 1: to Newport Beach some some Devin noonas ship tons of
Speaker 1: they started doing tons of getting tons of plastic surgery.
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing, I know. I mean, the reason
Speaker 1: why I'm so hyper about it, it's just I'm so
Speaker 1: mad they gave it to Dan like I was gonna
Speaker 1: let it go, and this thirty million dollars seems so
Speaker 1: fishy to me. They're gonna break apart the megachurch, and
Speaker 1: they said they're gonna start a bunch of smaller churches,
Speaker 1: but I just don't see them doing I want to
Speaker 1: look energy. I love this energy. It's like it's the
Speaker 1: kind of it reminds me of when I used to
Speaker 1: be on Facebook and I would see some ship about
Speaker 1: somebody like I kind of halfway fucked with, but then
Speaker 1: you see some up there like this mother are you?
Speaker 1: And then I would be like, hold on, come here, sir,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about this person right here on
Speaker 1: my laptop. And they're like I don't know them. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but wait till I tell you about I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah funk. That guy Steve was something
Speaker 1: you think is overrat um, you know, because I just
Speaker 1: said that I do think. I think weddings are overrated.
Speaker 1: I know that's something that we say, but I think
Speaker 1: one of the great things about Quarantine is that it's
Speaker 1: really allowed us to step back and be like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, though, am I going to continue to participate
Speaker 1: this now? Jack, you're practically a fucking Kennedy. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you had a two hundred thousand dollar affair. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody a plate a plate some at some indoor stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, grooms man. Yeah, we want to. I want
Speaker 1: to get married so quick. I want to get married
Speaker 1: in because because of the Lakers and because of the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and because of this bullshit year. I just think it's
Speaker 1: I want to get married, like to be like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that crazy, fucking bullshit year. I also got married in
Speaker 1: that year. Easy to remember. Yeah. And we were looking
Speaker 1: at New Year's Eve and at first we had and
Speaker 1: this is very minimal. Uh, At first we had because
Speaker 1: we're both from here, we had fifty seven people. And
Speaker 1: this was like three weeks ago, and I was like,
Speaker 1: it just feels like too many people, Like even that,
Speaker 1: like health wise, because of COVID, we just can't do it.
Speaker 1: We got it down to twenty eight people, which is
Speaker 1: basically all of our podcast co hosts and our immediate family.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got three podcasts, so that's a lot
Speaker 1: of that's but even at that twenty eight people, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at this week, we just were like five days ago,
Speaker 1: I was we had talked to a cater. We had
Speaker 1: a little place. Her friend has a beautiful backyard and
Speaker 1: we were gonna use and but get catered. Still, it
Speaker 1: was gonna be nice. And then I was just like,
Speaker 1: we can't we this. The whole city is gonna be
Speaker 1: fucking shut down by by New Year's Eve. We're idiots
Speaker 1: if we do this. So I think we're just gonna
Speaker 1: end up going to Vegas. But I saw yesterday I
Speaker 1: went to have you guys gone to a zoom wedding
Speaker 1: yet I've been. I've been in the room and I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's what y'all doing. No, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I saw a zoom wedding yesterday Henry Phillips, a very
Speaker 1: funny comedian, and our friend Deborah Eda Robinson and they
Speaker 1: were at a like cliff or something, and it was
Speaker 1: about a twenty minute ceremony and they were They're both
Speaker 1: such funny, had so much heart. But I watched that
Speaker 1: wedding and I got choked up and it was beautiful,
Speaker 1: and then we just fucking closed the computer and I
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, that was fucking cool, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody stoked about it. So I do think
Speaker 1: now with me that said, I do think weddings are
Speaker 1: overrated with fifty dollars all that kind of thing. When
Speaker 1: we do have a big wedding, we are going to
Speaker 1: make it a party. I think we might just her
Speaker 1: and I just might go to Vegas, uh this like
Speaker 1: in a month or something and then have a big party.
Speaker 1: But I'd rather drop I have no problem dropping ten
Speaker 1: grand on a big gas party for my friends rather
Speaker 1: than the fifty thousand that comes with all the pop,
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstances. And the wedding industrial industry will just
Speaker 1: grab as much out of you as you can because
Speaker 1: you do love this person and you want to make
Speaker 1: it special exactly yea, yeah, because you don't want to
Speaker 1: do a wedding you have to do drugs in the
Speaker 1: bathroom wedding, my wedding table of honor? What is? Uh? What?
Speaker 1: Something you think is underrated? See? I love this. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Have you guys have Dave? Have you guys
Speaker 1: had Dave's Killer Bread? Yeah? I love Dave's Killer Bread,
Speaker 1: and I don't hear enough people talking about it. I steve,
Speaker 1: they're starting, they're starting to put up billboards and stuff,
Speaker 1: so I think they're doing well. But you know, as
Speaker 1: a fat person, I try to avoid bread at all costs,
Speaker 1: even though I stay the same amount of fat no
Speaker 1: matter what I do. But I I tried to avoid it.
Speaker 1: But this is the one bread I've I've found that
Speaker 1: is still delicious, uh that that is all organic and
Speaker 1: whole grain and still is soft. It's not not like
Speaker 1: that Ezekiel ship where it really does feel like you're
Speaker 1: in Bible times, like it's merely bread. Um. But also
Speaker 1: Dave's has a really cool story. It started in two
Speaker 1: thousand five and that Dave got out of prison he
Speaker 1: started making this bread. And there are a second Chance company,
Speaker 1: so they hire people who've gotten out of prison too.
Speaker 1: So it's a delicious love of bread. Great for us
Speaker 1: a breakfast sandwich and a regular sandwich. It's they're big now.
Speaker 1: You can buy them at Bonds and Rouse, not Trainer Joe's.
Speaker 1: But if you gotta when you go make your way
Speaker 1: to your regular grocery store, you can pick it up
Speaker 1: for four or five bucks and it's delicious bread you
Speaker 1: don't have to feel bad about, and you're giving to
Speaker 1: a relatively small company that helps out x con. So
Speaker 1: I love Dave's Killer Bread. Yeah, we've developed like a
Speaker 1: brand loyalty to that, and it's not like it was
Speaker 1: just because it's so much better than the other, Like
Speaker 1: you know, to Dave. It's so funny because the second
Speaker 1: he mentioned to Jack, You're like, yeah, now that I
Speaker 1: look at the packaging, I would see it and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's that bread looked too intense for me. I'm like, a,
Speaker 1: I'm like a Kroger just great white bread kind of person.
Speaker 1: But I like this, Oh it's like Kroger. You get
Speaker 1: it at Ralph I mean, I know, but it's the
Speaker 1: I was put off by the man hitting a guitar
Speaker 1: solo on the sleeve. There's nothing about it. There's nothing
Speaker 1: about the packaging or like I don't know, like I
Speaker 1: didn't really know the backstory. So like just being like
Speaker 1: killer bread man did not like super appeal to me. Man.
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a southern California bullshit thing
Speaker 1: when I first saw the packaging. But the product is
Speaker 1: good and equally Ezekiel Bread what you mentioned is like punished.
Speaker 1: My wife and I like got mad at Ezekiel Bread.
Speaker 1: We were like, well, you gotta get this. Dave's is
Speaker 1: out because like Dave is one of those products that
Speaker 1: Ralph's that will sell out like that. You can just
Speaker 1: tell it's like much better than everything else because like
Speaker 1: it'll be a full shelf, and then Dave's has just gone.
Speaker 1: Dave's Killer Bread is gone. I feel so ignorant, my
Speaker 1: my bread. Ignorance is just love it. Although now that
Speaker 1: I'm talking about I said, here's an ex con and everything.
Speaker 1: What if he what if he was a murderer? What
Speaker 1: if that's why they call it? Well, that's that's actually
Speaker 1: I was just trying to look that up. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: wait a second, did this dude? Is that like the
Speaker 1: it was manslaughter bread, Dave's and negligence bread. All right,
Speaker 1: so good news. He co founded Dave's in two thousand five.
Speaker 1: Prior to that, he had served a total of over
Speaker 1: fifteen years in prison for multiple offenses, including drug distribution, burglary,
Speaker 1: armed robbery, and assault. No murder, so we good, just
Speaker 1: pistol whipping people, right, yeah, yeah, so all good? Get
Speaker 1: it for the malo wasn't yeah checks, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back and
Speaker 1: we're back. So Sydney Pale kind of caught my eye
Speaker 1: right after the election. She was just she's caught my eye.
Speaker 1: She has a very specific look that this morning, I
Speaker 1: was like trying to nail it down. I think it's
Speaker 1: like partially she looks like one of the neighbors from
Speaker 1: Rosemary's Baby that's at like the satanic baby stealing party
Speaker 1: at the end. Like she really has that like kind
Speaker 1: of soulless, like a little bit off white lady vibe
Speaker 1: about her. I I talked about on Monday's episode how,
Speaker 1: in addition to like being at the center of this
Speaker 1: you know, attempt by the Trump administration undermine democracy and
Speaker 1: probably will succeed in many ways that undermining future elections,
Speaker 1: she also defended Enron executives, which was like they were
Speaker 1: basically deconstructing the idea of money. So she's just always
Speaker 1: there to try to so tnt in the ground uh
Speaker 1: in the foundations of of our our society, and she's
Speaker 1: acute supporter. Got shipped on by famous left wing muck
Speaker 1: raker Tucker Carlson ums bad, it's all weird. She's really
Speaker 1: she had that full on like thing of like you know,
Speaker 1: screaming uh anti reality takes on Fox News to get
Speaker 1: the President's attention. And that's sort of like how she
Speaker 1: sort of came into orbit, especially with like all the
Speaker 1: Mueller stuff investigations anything, Like she's just been a you know,
Speaker 1: willing participant to just say absolute fucking nonsense. And yeah,
Speaker 1: this evolution since like the weird my cousin Vinnie press
Speaker 1: conference where Rudy did like his impression of fucking Zorg
Speaker 1: from Fifth Element when he started bleeding black out his
Speaker 1: head like for no reason. That was sort of like
Speaker 1: the clock started ticking there and the whole like since
Speaker 1: Rudy came on and just a uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: know up top we talked about how the Trump campaign
Speaker 1: is already distancing themselves from Sydney Pal if you just
Speaker 1: look at his tweets from I think November fourteenth, Trump
Speaker 1: is like, here's the team. It's Victoria Tensing, Joe to Jenneva,
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Power, absolutely saying that's the team right there,
Speaker 1: that's the fuck is squeezy. And now the legal arguments
Speaker 1: are completely like unraveling, and Rudy like, you know, right
Speaker 1: before he gave that just you know, release the krack
Speaker 1: in press conference. If you act like the words of
Speaker 1: the judge that he was just speaking to, you would
Speaker 1: be like, I can't believe these people just went out
Speaker 1: there and acted like they're so confident the judge that
Speaker 1: Rudy was trying to you know, we talked about how
Speaker 1: the case involved. Like first they were saying like they
Speaker 1: were put they had all this. Uh, their complaint was
Speaker 1: about like the poll watchers aren't there and and we're
Speaker 1: not like this is this is unfair. The judges like, you,
Speaker 1: technically you don't have legal standing as a candidate to
Speaker 1: fourth like to get election law enforced through the court
Speaker 1: like this, like it doesn't work. Like fine, we'll take
Speaker 1: that part out and then it becomes like this other case.
Speaker 1: But then Rudy, because of the optics the case, like
Speaker 1: he needs that in to be part of the legal
Speaker 1: complaints so they can say, like, technically, that's what we're
Speaker 1: arguing in court. So he went back and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'd like to amend it again. And the judges sort
Speaker 1: of like, bro, that's not how any of this works.
Speaker 1: If you were in court, you know, you get like
Speaker 1: like one shot at this and then you have there's
Speaker 1: a lot of approvals that have to be made to
Speaker 1: amend your complaint. So this judge says to just straight
Speaker 1: to Rudy, after all this just nonsense. He was saying, quote,
Speaker 1: one might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome
Speaker 1: of plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments
Speaker 1: and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court
Speaker 1: would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed
Speaker 1: injunctive relief, despite the impact it would have on such
Speaker 1: a large group of citizens. That has not happened. Instead,
Speaker 1: this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit,
Speaker 1: and speculative accusations unplayed in the operative complaint and unsupported
Speaker 1: by evidence. In the United States of America, this cannot
Speaker 1: justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all
Speaker 1: the voters of its it's the most populated state. So
Speaker 1: they went in there, the judge basically, you'll get the
Speaker 1: fuck out of here, Like you know, it's clear there's
Speaker 1: no room for you for any of this. What you're
Speaker 1: doing is an absolute waste of time. And they yet
Speaker 1: they go out and they cry, oh wait till you
Speaker 1: see this. They don't even know what's coming. So as
Speaker 1: that happens, they take just this terrible legal loss. They're
Speaker 1: now at a point where you know, uh, they're saying
Speaker 1: that there this was all part of the plan. So
Speaker 1: they can go to the Supreme Court. But as it stands,
Speaker 1: the way these cases are working, that isn't going to happen.
Speaker 1: And also their argument has not improved to the point
Speaker 1: that the Supreme Court is suddenly going to see something
Speaker 1: different and be like, oh, yes, we're gonna overturn all
Speaker 1: of that. So it's a very strange thing where you
Speaker 1: have people who are fucking around in a courtroom then
Speaker 1: tweeting to their ignorant base who know nothing about like
Speaker 1: the legal process in this country, and just because they
Speaker 1: do all caps and hashtags and like emojis, are like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: that's a win because they said patriots and used an
Speaker 1: exclamation point, being like we just lost in court, Patriots,
Speaker 1: and people like retweeting it like yes, the plan is
Speaker 1: coming together, right. So do you know what kind of
Speaker 1: a lunatic you need to be for Trump to kick
Speaker 1: you office team at this point? I don't. It's I mean,
Speaker 1: the thing that got him over the edge was that
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Sydney Powell went on Newsmax and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna play like a couple of seconds where she she
Speaker 1: touched she said almost everything that there's billions of votes
Speaker 1: for Trump magnets, how do those work? How do we
Speaker 1: know Dominion voting machines didn't like get Brian Kemp like
Speaker 1: he was paid off by Dominion, Like she went after
Speaker 1: Brian Kemp and then brings in like VPN networks and Venezuelans.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play this, and we also have evidence
Speaker 1: that there were any number of DPN lines open to
Speaker 1: the Internet for foreign actors to be meddling in it.
Speaker 1: Has anybody given you an explanation that that as to
Speaker 1: why they had to turn the machines off? You talk
Speaker 1: about how the machines that turned our key. Our witness
Speaker 1: from Venezuela who saw it all created and how it worked,
Speaker 1: said that he knew as soon as the machines were
Speaker 1: turned off and those keys straights, it was because we,
Speaker 1: the people in voting Trump been voting for Trump in
Speaker 1: the landslide election, had essentially broken the algorithm that had
Speaker 1: been pre programmed into the machine, so they had to
Speaker 1: stop counting in those states. I don't even know so
Speaker 1: hard that it broke the they broke the Internet. It
Speaker 1: was like Kim Kardashian's magazine cover with the champagne bobble
Speaker 1: of that like racist caricature that was the tail end
Speaker 1: of a six and a half minute rant of then
Speaker 1: like being like, well, what about Kelly Leffler, Like what's
Speaker 1: she doing? It's like she's a Republican senate, can't whatever? Okay,
Speaker 1: uh do that? Yeah, that sort of began the beginning
Speaker 1: the countdown clock where suddenly it's like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't know her. Um and I think because to this
Speaker 1: also signaled a lot of like Republicans starting to like
Speaker 1: be a little less enthusiastic about being like, oh he won, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta count all Like first it was like count
Speaker 1: all the votes, and now some people are like being
Speaker 1: really cryptic. John corn is like I think the result
Speaker 1: is becoming clear, and they're like, well, what do you mean,
Speaker 1: And he's like that there were wanting for evidence. So
Speaker 1: this is like, yeah, these are the kinds of looks
Speaker 1: even like on you know, right wing Twitter, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking on like the different like subredits and things like that.
Speaker 1: People are starting to get pissed because even objectively, like
Speaker 1: they were literally promised, they've been promised a ton of
Speaker 1: ship in this presidency, this administration, and with this election,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh wait till we hit him with the
Speaker 1: fucking knockout punch of evidence, and people were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh fuck yeah, fuck yeah, this ship never came. And
Speaker 1: now everyone's like, what the fuck this is? This is
Speaker 1: actually not I can't even go to work and being like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all see that press conference where fucking Rudy bled black
Speaker 1: out his head and Sidney Powell said something about VPNs
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. He burns everyone who puts faith in him,
Speaker 1: like on a personal level, like on a one to
Speaker 1: one level, and I feel like that's what's happening here
Speaker 1: as well. Is just you know, he's a scam artist.
Speaker 1: His whole career is like a giant like Charisma money
Speaker 1: pr Ponzi scheme, and like this is just the final
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just coming out in the wash
Speaker 1: like that. This dude is completely corrupt and these people
Speaker 1: have put more faith in him than I don't know
Speaker 1: any politician has had people just be like, not, fuck it,
Speaker 1: I'll die for this man. It doesn't matter what reality
Speaker 1: says or it's like fuck it, I got a bone
Speaker 1: to pick with the world at large, and I will
Speaker 1: just use this opportunity to just completely ignore everything I'm
Speaker 1: seeing and just go full throttle into like my own ego. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but oh yeah, it reminds me of like I think
Speaker 1: all of his followers and everything too. It reminds me of'
Speaker 1: you know, I used to swing and I've been to
Speaker 1: some big swinging parties. But if you've ever been in
Speaker 1: there in a big group sex thing and you're just
Speaker 1: having all the sex and then so that someone turns
Speaker 1: on the lights, it it gets really scary really fast.
Speaker 1: But you're also just very I think these people have
Speaker 1: been caught up in the drama like this is a play,
Speaker 1: and then they're they're going to It's going to take
Speaker 1: some months for to them to kind of snap out
Speaker 1: it and realize however they've been being is not okay anymore.
Speaker 1: And hopefully, I mean I pray that they'll start to
Speaker 1: kind of calm down something. That's what's really interesting. I
Speaker 1: feel like we know what has happened here with this election.
Speaker 1: We know that like they're not going to succeed in uh,
Speaker 1: you know, overturning the results of the election, and now
Speaker 1: like the drama that remains is like what happens to
Speaker 1: those people who were willing to die to like buy
Speaker 1: into that version of reality that doesn't actually exist, Like,
Speaker 1: what how do they deal with the fact that this
Speaker 1: isn't going to go their way? Right? Because they could
Speaker 1: go a lot of different ways. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, people thought wrestling was real. Yeah, some people
Speaker 1: like did dealt with it, Okay, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: because these people aren't interested in actual politics, Like that's
Speaker 1: what I think. That's also what it revealed is that
Speaker 1: there's a group of people who like policy or are
Speaker 1: interested in how policy affects people's day to day lives.
Speaker 1: And then there are people who are like use whiteness
Speaker 1: as a cudgel to just bash the weak, and then
Speaker 1: that's what they're invested. And it's not like that they
Speaker 1: have a fucking slight brain for policy at any level.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, I'm not responding to any of that,
Speaker 1: because if I did, I would be absolutely like, none
Speaker 1: of this makes sense. I'm here for this other show,
Speaker 1: the cruelty show. Well, he's also too, you know, as
Speaker 1: as much as I just you know, he's also like
Speaker 1: paints the world in such a good and evil way
Speaker 1: where I think the very dumb people or you know,
Speaker 1: like you know, evangelical Christians. My mom I found out
Speaker 1: the week of I found out she was voting for Trump,
Speaker 1: and I found out through a Facebook uh, like a
Speaker 1: Facebook live story she was at like some kind of
Speaker 1: little rally, and uh, she sounded so sad in the video.
Speaker 1: I didn't even give her a harder time about it
Speaker 1: because it was a California too, so who cares. But
Speaker 1: she was just like, that's right, you guessed it. I'm
Speaker 1: voting for Trump, and I know she I knows what
Speaker 1: she's doing. It is she thinks that like she believes
Speaker 1: him holding up the Bible and stuff. I don't like
Speaker 1: to say that my mom's dumb, but my mom is
Speaker 1: dumb about this kind of stuff. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: people where he actually believes. He says he believes in God,
Speaker 1: when that he lets people pray for him, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff for people who believe in this stuff is
Speaker 1: like Biden's not praying for letting anyone pray for him.
Speaker 1: Not that he should either. I don't believe in this ship,
Speaker 1: but uh, my mom sees that stuff and he she
Speaker 1: sent me a message that was she's always sending me message.
Speaker 1: Is that I think she might I don't think. I
Speaker 1: hope she's not cute, but it's always like kind of shady,
Speaker 1: weird ship. Yeah, and she's like told me, She's like, Steve,
Speaker 1: I will tell you this though he had a he
Speaker 1: had an aunt who was a strong believer, so they
Speaker 1: my mom really do yeah, I mean she really said
Speaker 1: that to me on the phone. So she thinks that
Speaker 1: he's an imperfect vessel, but he does believe in God.
Speaker 1: And so there is a large portion of people who
Speaker 1: are are regular racist. There are people who don't know
Speaker 1: they're racist, but um, you know, the way the uh
Speaker 1: institutionalized racism has worked for them so well that they're like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I like the way things are, so
Speaker 1: they wouldn't understand that they're racist in the traditional sense.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of dumb people who just believe
Speaker 1: that the world is about good and evil God. I mean,
Speaker 1: this godship is truly driving a lot of them crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all. I mean. They are even ripping each other,
Speaker 1: are apart, you know, like you were saying Jack, like
Speaker 1: they're saying Tucker Carlson is a pedophile now because he
Speaker 1: asked for evidence because even for him, right, he's willing
Speaker 1: to fucking cast aspersions over fucking end, like whatever, He's
Speaker 1: willing to do anything. But even for him, he knows
Speaker 1: like he can't go to like a to debate someone
Speaker 1: of like with an intelligence level that he feels is
Speaker 1: on his level and be like, hey man, I ain't
Speaker 1: got a ship, Like you're not winning a debate like that,
Speaker 1: just like please give I need the goods so I
Speaker 1: can actually be out here and tell these people to
Speaker 1: eat ship. And because they can't produce it, now they're
Speaker 1: like saying, oh you want evidence, Oh what do you
Speaker 1: want of these fucking communists? And it's happening so rapidly,
Speaker 1: and I think it's an indicator of like what this
Speaker 1: you know, what stage of you know loss therein because
Speaker 1: I think we're past bargaining because they've tried to stop
Speaker 1: the count or do these other things. Um, I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna move into the sadness section because I don't know,
Speaker 1: because now they're being like, well we don't need Tucker um.
Speaker 1: And they're also going after Kelly Leffler and David Purdue
Speaker 1: like I was mentioning even with Sydney Powell. These are
Speaker 1: people who are running for Senate in a runoff that
Speaker 1: could potentially, you know, it will depending on how these
Speaker 1: races go. It will it will it will determine which
Speaker 1: party controls the Senate and essentially all of the legislative
Speaker 1: business going into this next administration. And do you have
Speaker 1: a lot of conservatives saying this is one from this
Speaker 1: guy Lincoln would at lynn Wood, who's like, you know,
Speaker 1: one of these conservative like Trumper lawyers, who's out there
Speaker 1: all the time. He's out here saying, let's speak truth
Speaker 1: about Senator Leffler and Senator David Purdue. Why are they
Speaker 1: doing little or nothing to support efforts by Georgia citizens
Speaker 1: to address unlawful election and need for Governor Kemp to
Speaker 1: order a special session of legislature. If not fixed, I
Speaker 1: will not vote in the runoff, will you? And this
Speaker 1: has become a thing of saying these people like turned
Speaker 1: their back on Trump and didn't go full on coup
Speaker 1: during this election, that now they're bad and we have
Speaker 1: to essentially teach them a lesson by sitting out. Now.
Speaker 1: My the whole thing is I see a lot of
Speaker 1: it being talked about, but there's also like it also
Speaker 1: feels like elaborate voter suppression to try and pull off
Speaker 1: this win in Georgia. Because if the optics are that
Speaker 1: the Republicans are completely divided. They're melting down. Uh. It
Speaker 1: makes it much easier people be like, Okay, they're fucked up.
Speaker 1: If enough Democrats come out, then maybe the the election
Speaker 1: is settled. But I don't know like it. Do you
Speaker 1: look at how Republicans vote, They vote much more consistently
Speaker 1: than Democrats do, especially in these like little runoffs and
Speaker 1: special elections. So I just want to say when when
Speaker 1: looking at that, I'm trying to look at both, you know,
Speaker 1: realities at the same time too, because I just there
Speaker 1: there was a there was a version of me that
Speaker 1: was reading these stories and be like, yes, go on
Speaker 1: all the funk apart, and part of me also being like,
Speaker 1: you know, I I I don't put it past them
Speaker 1: to also say this stuff out loud, but also be
Speaker 1: like no, low key, like, we're not fucking stupid. If
Speaker 1: we lose the Senate, then it's a fucking rap. So
Speaker 1: they are. They're basically saying, because these two senators will
Speaker 1: not overturn the popular vote for president in their state
Speaker 1: in Georgia, then Republicans shouldn't vote for them in the runoff.
Speaker 1: That's because the Republicans aren't backing Trump. None of these
Speaker 1: people are backing Trump. It's become like we're actually seeing
Speaker 1: that part where we always said they've already been out
Speaker 1: of control with the base, but to that point where
Speaker 1: now they're like, you know, they're like, oh, well, third
Speaker 1: party this ship like they got to it before progressives did. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean just back to I. I think we're seeing
Speaker 1: a trend of Trump, you know, and we're seeing this
Speaker 1: in the transition and how he interacts with his base
Speaker 1: and his supporters and now how he interacts with the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. It's all just you know, burning ship down
Speaker 1: on the way out. That's just kind of how he
Speaker 1: opered rates always. Alright, let's talk let's talk pandemic real quick,
Speaker 1: because uh, where we are over last weekend saw the
Speaker 1: worst numbers in the history of California. And this is
Speaker 1: happening at the same time that I just feel like
Speaker 1: there's a lot of lockdown fatigue. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: people just out just I mean that in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: they're wearing masks, but they're out there and sometimes not. Man,
Speaker 1: I was reading like people who are like going against
Speaker 1: this curfew or it's like at ten pm, a lot
Speaker 1: of places supposed to close and like the like the
Speaker 1: quotes from people and she's like, oh, what COVID takes
Speaker 1: a break from ten pm to six am. Get out
Speaker 1: of here. It's nonsense, Like what does it matter. You
Speaker 1: didn't tell me COVID already has a vaccine, but cancer doesn't.
Speaker 1: Nice tribe bro, you know, and then you know the
Speaker 1: fatigue things. Really I've seen in my own personal life,
Speaker 1: you know, with friends, family, Like it's it's a very
Speaker 1: real thing. And I think I just want to keep
Speaker 1: bringing these stories up because if you know, if you don't,
Speaker 1: you don't want to try and mix your households right now.
Speaker 1: It's just things are so fraught and tense and um,
Speaker 1: if you need, if you need to come back at
Speaker 1: somebody who's using all kinds of arguments about why it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter or whatever, who gives a sh about masks.
Speaker 1: There there's just more and more evidence, like even in
Speaker 1: the easiest way to describe to somebody like not just
Speaker 1: being like, well, the particles that are are just it's
Speaker 1: very simple. They looked at it like this in Kansas, right,
Speaker 1: the c d C in the Kansas Department of Health,
Speaker 1: they did a study right when the states said we
Speaker 1: want to do a mask requirement, but it's not you know,
Speaker 1: counties can opt out. Eighty one counties opted out of
Speaker 1: the mask mandate. The other twenty four counties, which are
Speaker 1: like the accounted for like a huge part of the
Speaker 1: state's population. They said, you know what, we're We're gonna
Speaker 1: go with the mandate that says you have to wear
Speaker 1: a mask in public. They looked at the sort of
Speaker 1: infection trends and things like that, and it's it showed
Speaker 1: that the counties that required masks that obviously they had
Speaker 1: higher rates just because of the population, but in terms
Speaker 1: of the mask usage over that two month period, they
Speaker 1: brought the growth of cases under control and even reduced them.
Speaker 1: The places that didn't require masks saw their cases rise,
Speaker 1: and then even on average, the counties that required masks
Speaker 1: saw a six percent reduction in cases. That's that's that's
Speaker 1: a reduction. That's verifiable. Uh, the counties that opted out
Speaker 1: of the mask mandate saw a one hundred percent increase.
Speaker 1: Um so expert, But okay, so let's talk about percentages. Man,
Speaker 1: how did that work? Percentage of what? That's the thing
Speaker 1: I always hear is like, well, percentage of what? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you even asking like that's not
Speaker 1: that's not that's not a rebuttal to a fact I
Speaker 1: just gave. I'm telling you what that percentages. But it's
Speaker 1: just so weird because without throughout all this mask or
Speaker 1: safety or social distancing stuff, you see people bend their
Speaker 1: fucking minds in to suddenly be like an armchair physicist
Speaker 1: or expert in airflow and like particle movement and like
Speaker 1: epidemiology and use like very like pseudo scientific reasonings to
Speaker 1: be like, um, actually masks don't work. But then rather,
Speaker 1: but they can't even go to the simple step of
Speaker 1: just saying, like putting something over fucking mouth and faith
Speaker 1: like even if I'm talking, there's a difference there, rather
Speaker 1: than being like, let me try and think about how
Speaker 1: this mask makes it worse for someone, like there's it's
Speaker 1: a lot of work, so you know, it's it's real simple.
Speaker 1: Masks help h anybody who's trying to say counter. It's
Speaker 1: not just for it's and it's not just for other people.
Speaker 1: It will also protect you. The CDC also came out
Speaker 1: and be like, oh no, no no, it also has a
Speaker 1: benefit to the wearer as well. So please as we
Speaker 1: go into this reminding people everybody who's listening to this
Speaker 1: is gonna wear a mask though, right, I yeah, there
Speaker 1: could be some cool people, curious listeners who are like,
Speaker 1: what are they talking about over there? They're not talking
Speaker 1: about American obsession, American's obsession with individualism. I just you know,
Speaker 1: all this Trump ship, it's all like they don't people
Speaker 1: just don't like to be told what to do, and
Speaker 1: that's like the American way. And I really do feel
Speaker 1: like are like the roosters are the chickens have come
Speaker 1: home to roost, that there's just a segment of our
Speaker 1: population because our country is founded on this bullshit that
Speaker 1: is like they're just not gonna listen to anything. To them,
Speaker 1: the highest value is you cannot tell me what to do.
Speaker 1: That's a terrible way to live, but it's also what
Speaker 1: our country is based on. And uh, I think we're
Speaker 1: just gonna be kind of fucked for a while. You know.
Speaker 1: The our dream is that we went in Georgia and
Speaker 1: that they let us shut down for a few months
Speaker 1: and they pay everybody. But I don't know if even
Speaker 1: Orange County, I don't even know if the people would
Speaker 1: listen at that point. I mean, if you, yeah, well
Speaker 1: people would be like, thanks for my check. Now I'm
Speaker 1: a party with it in public. What I know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the suburbs um in Covina, West Covina,
Speaker 1: in Corona, and the people in the suburbs as seriously
Speaker 1: as we're taking it or not taking it here in
Speaker 1: the city in l A proper. Those people just it
Speaker 1: does not matter to them. I'm like following them on Instagram.
Speaker 1: They have barely changed the way they have lived completely
Speaker 1: because because the disease is just not killing enough people.
Speaker 1: It's very deadly, but it's a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: know anyone who's been seriously hurt or or killed by it,
Speaker 1: and so people, you know, they only see what's in
Speaker 1: front of their face. It's just not enough for them.
Speaker 1: So I actually, this one's on God too. We could
Speaker 1: have used the little deadlier Father God, what the funk?
Speaker 1: We could have used it a little deadlier. I was
Speaker 1: hoping for that hand of Darwin to come on down,
Speaker 1: coming for to carry me. I mean the things that
Speaker 1: they love, you know, It's I'm not mad at anymore.
Speaker 1: I actually love my family. I am sad that I'm
Speaker 1: not going to see my family on Thanksgiving. And I'm
Speaker 1: also like who gives a ship. It's one year, we'll
Speaker 1: be back next year. It's fine. So when you see
Speaker 1: like people morning on Twitter, like, you know, some people
Speaker 1: think it doesn't matter or they say this, but it
Speaker 1: means so much to me, I'm like, man, we're just
Speaker 1: such like basic animals that some people's brains are just
Speaker 1: wired ways where they think some things are just so
Speaker 1: important and that giving is oxygen, Disneyland is oxy Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's exactly that. It's just like fairy
Speaker 1: tale thing where they're not able. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that it's you know, we've built our lives around some
Speaker 1: of these fairy tales and some of the things that
Speaker 1: we value, so I'm not saying like it's the easiest thing.
Speaker 1: But for them to accept these realities, just like Trump stuff,
Speaker 1: it's like it kind of could destroy the way a
Speaker 1: person has set up their life. You know, if you
Speaker 1: work so hard to get things like Thanksgiving and Christmas,
Speaker 1: you like bust your asked to do all these things,
Speaker 1: and then you take these things away. This is like
Speaker 1: a fundamental building block in some people's mind. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's correct for them to be that way, but
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of years based on that
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving a Christians you know vacation. Yeah, those two weeks
Speaker 1: of Hawaii. I do everything for those two weeks. I
Speaker 1: just had to convince my parents not to come out here.
Speaker 1: They just canceled their trip from the East Coast to
Speaker 1: come to California. They I mean, my parents haven't seen
Speaker 1: my two year old since he was one. You know,
Speaker 1: they haven't seen like that's a that's tough for a
Speaker 1: for a grandparent not to see like a whole like
Speaker 1: chunk of a kid's life, or to be why does
Speaker 1: he have a little mustache? Exactly? Yeah, I mean even
Speaker 1: when there's like good reason and even you know that's
Speaker 1: it's very sad for them, it's very sad for us.
Speaker 1: But like you got to make some sacrifices and just
Speaker 1: trust that there's light at the end of the tunnel
Speaker 1: if we, you know, trust in the scientific method that's
Speaker 1: been making everybody's lives better for for a fucking century now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny to see you people who are like man
Speaker 1: the like for all the people who like want to
Speaker 1: go to Thanksgiving, like I saw a few takes are
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to avoid the thing that is the reason,
Speaker 1: Like the twenty five times of doing this over my
Speaker 1: life has is the basis of my therapy. Like we
Speaker 1: don't have these thanksgivings right now, like thank God. And
Speaker 1: also yeah, like I get it when it's such a
Speaker 1: part of your it's like the seasons for some people.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, well the year, I the only
Speaker 1: one thing that is consistent might be these holidays, And
Speaker 1: I get it. But fun, man, we got so much
Speaker 1: time in our lives and life is very precious at
Speaker 1: the moment, so that there's you don't want to be
Speaker 1: Like I was reading a story about this family in
Speaker 1: Texas that got together for someone's birthday. Fucking everybody got COVID.
Speaker 1: Everybody got it at the part, every fucking family member
Speaker 1: and like now like the elderly members of the family
Speaker 1: are like in bad shape and they're just like I
Speaker 1: don't even because even the even the old folks are
Speaker 1: you know, anyone who gets it and doesn't die, but
Speaker 1: like they can have heart damage, brain damage, like long term,
Speaker 1: it's it's no fucking joke. And yeah, it's uh it's hard,
Speaker 1: like we're having to um do adult ing. Uhlest phrase
Speaker 1: in the world. But like we're actually having to like,
Speaker 1: you know, be an actually be actual adults, even sometimes
Speaker 1: when like you're having to convince people who are older
Speaker 1: than you to do the adult responsible thing, like you
Speaker 1: just gotta do it. Yeah, alright, let's take a let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break, and we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about the true meaning of Christmas. And we're back, and
Speaker 1: the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, I think we all can't agree
Speaker 1: most important symbol seasons are changeing. You know that. It's
Speaker 1: actually like kind of a wholesome origin story that like
Speaker 1: during the Depression, while the construction workers were like building
Speaker 1: a thirty rock, like the construction workers themselves decided to
Speaker 1: buy a giant ass Christmas tree with their own construction
Speaker 1: worker money and like put it up as a symbol
Speaker 1: of hope for the city during the Great Depression, like
Speaker 1: when nobody had any money. They were just like, nah,
Speaker 1: fucking let's chip in. We'll decorate it with our own
Speaker 1: like Christmas tree decorations from home. Um. So this has
Speaker 1: been going on for for close to a decade or
Speaker 1: close to a century, and it started like with h
Speaker 1: the actual people as opposed to like some corporate sponsor.
Speaker 1: That is like the first National Bank lighting ceremony or
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck starts off with a sincere gesture from
Speaker 1: normal and beings and the corporations like get out my way,
Speaker 1: we're gonna brand it. Fuck you, there's a new thing.
Speaker 1: Here's a doll by it this Christmas for your kids. Um.
Speaker 1: But anyways, our writer j M I I had talked
Speaker 1: about the appearance of the this year's Rockefeller Christmas Tree.
Speaker 1: I got on the yeah, that's so appropriate for bro.
Speaker 1: Look at this piece of ship Christmas tree, because it
Speaker 1: did look like ship in the pictures people were posting,
Speaker 1: and looked like it just looked like the Charlie Brown
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, like a giant version of the Charlie Brown
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, like just you know, a couple of branches,
Speaker 1: a couple of pine needles. But that was about it.
Speaker 1: But apparently that's what it always looks like after it's
Speaker 1: been transported for two days and it's just like all
Speaker 1: bundled up and ship, and so it looks like vacation weed.
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you sure? But yeah, I guess. I
Speaker 1: mean look at the one from like it looks like shit.
Speaker 1: Some arborists on to tell us if our our tree
Speaker 1: ship talking is on point or are we missing some nuances?
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, man, check out that branch. Those
Speaker 1: branch clusters looking pretty good. Yeah, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: I got I guess one way to interpret it is
Speaker 1: that like we just don't usually look at the tree
Speaker 1: right when it's hauled out, like without any decorations on it,
Speaker 1: like a sign of the year, to be like, ah see,
Speaker 1: the whole year is fucked. Look at that thing. Look
Speaker 1: at a tree that was all wrapped up and shipped
Speaker 1: on the exact right. Um, I would never look like
Speaker 1: that if I was bound and laid on a truck
Speaker 1: for two days. Are you gonna Are you gonna get
Speaker 1: a tree this year? Jack? Yeah, yeah, we're going to
Speaker 1: uh probably this weekend. That's usually when we do it.
Speaker 1: I got my ship up last night. Yeah. I bought
Speaker 1: a fake one for the first time because I was like,
Speaker 1: I A I like the I love a tree, you know,
Speaker 1: because I love this scent. That's really the only reason
Speaker 1: I get it is just to basically a big gass
Speaker 1: potpourri dish in my home that smells like, you know,
Speaker 1: like a fir tree or whatever that is that pine scent.
Speaker 1: But then like that when the needles start coming off,
Speaker 1: and I got pets, so that should just like start
Speaker 1: scattering everywhere, and then the pets want to drink from
Speaker 1: the little bowl where the fucking tree water is at
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's just I'm like, fuck it. Let
Speaker 1: me just get the cheap sixty dollar joint that I
Speaker 1: just have to put in a box every year and
Speaker 1: bring it back. I'm actually liking it. It was it
Speaker 1: was nice. It has the nice shape because like to
Speaker 1: your point, when you buy them and like you get
Speaker 1: them at a tree lot and you're not getting the
Speaker 1: one that's like they're all sort of already on stands
Speaker 1: and stuff. They're like, okay, yeah, let me pull a
Speaker 1: six fruit from you that's already wrapped up. You're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: is this gonna go? And then you actually can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you got like work the branches and shipped to
Speaker 1: try and be even, and you get sap on your
Speaker 1: hand and then like papers are sticking to that for
Speaker 1: like three weeks exactly, and then then you're disbarred because
Speaker 1: the judges saying you're making species legal arguments. It's all.
Speaker 1: It's awful. I think, uh, I think I don't normally
Speaker 1: like to get I don't have kids. If I have kids,
Speaker 1: then I'm doing all this ship right away. But I
Speaker 1: don't normally like to buy one, but I think I'll
Speaker 1: buy one this year just because I just want I
Speaker 1: like the real one. I even like to think about death. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so when it's dying, I want to think about that. Plus,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta see my Instagram. You know, I
Speaker 1: gotta take a picture of my girl by a tree.
Speaker 1: She'll love that ship. Oh yeah, yeah right, yeah, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'll buy one this year just because we
Speaker 1: have there's there's like we're gonna have nothing. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, like Charlie Willie walk on the check
Speaker 1: when he gets the loaf of bread. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: just the fucking tree. Yeah, just that loaf. But but
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited. I love the holidays. I didn't used
Speaker 1: to because I came out of the church and there's
Speaker 1: a strong streak of like, oh, this is such a
Speaker 1: bullshit holiday. But the older you get, the more anytime
Speaker 1: you get time off of work, anytime you can see
Speaker 1: your loved ones, which just like take time to think
Speaker 1: about what's good about life, Like I'll fucking take that
Speaker 1: ship now anyway, it comes eating the secular side of
Speaker 1: it that like you know, we've been celebrating this before Christianity,
Speaker 1: like just as the the day that the earth is
Speaker 1: trying to kill you the most, and we all get
Speaker 1: inside and get drunk and eat a lot of food.
Speaker 1: And it's actually, uh humanities mating season when you look
Speaker 1: at like how the birthdays line up, like this is
Speaker 1: the time when most babies are conceived. So it's I
Speaker 1: like that. I like that side of it. Just people
Speaker 1: fucking in a hot cave exactly, some whiskey milk contraption
Speaker 1: that's there. You know, we have all these dating rituals now,
Speaker 1: but back then it used to be villages and you
Speaker 1: just just grab the closest person like like that's to me, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just animals, baby, I know we've created all of this,
Speaker 1: but give me that fucking you know. You know, but
Speaker 1: with the lights off, you know, you don't party in
Speaker 1: the lights still respect this maybe a small fire flickering
Speaker 1: in the corner, but yeah, I would say, you know,
Speaker 1: like to your point, Steve of like you know, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna get the same activities that we normally do.
Speaker 1: Like I would love to hit a Christmas market or
Speaker 1: some ship. Shout out to the Vancouver Christmas Market. I
Speaker 1: love that one. But like there's like ship that you
Speaker 1: do that's out and about and you're like, oh, let's
Speaker 1: go look at this. Since I can't do that, I
Speaker 1: am fully just trying to transform like my living room
Speaker 1: into like a Hallmark channel, fucking like fever dream because

Speaker 1: getting my senses as a mercy map, just to make
Speaker 1: up for like the other ship. Ye people can't see it,
Speaker 1: but like you spent the you know, you took a
Speaker 1: few days off and came back with an amazing blowout.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Yeah, I look very lure like, yeah,

Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, transported from wherever the tree grew.
Speaker 1: They had to put it in like an animal sanctuary
Speaker 1: because it was dehydrated and like mal nourished, and so
Speaker 1: they gave it a bunch of water and mice. This
Speaker 1: thing is a killer. Don't ever forget it. Owls are
Speaker 1: like the greatest hunters. Have you ever seen those videos
