Speaker 1: one vote and they called me. They're like, on a
Speaker 1: we we have a pull open for you. Yeah, We're

Speaker 1: I d checked with a Florida drive Florida driver's license
Speaker 1: out here in l A. I'm sorry, I have to change.
Speaker 1: Like the Jefferson er Burg song from Hamilton's Deep Cut,
Speaker 1: Hamilton's reference which one is that is about getting Berg

Speaker 1: to tell them who to vote for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta get a second address in Florida
Speaker 1: because the tax brakes are off the chain. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about just like, uh, you know, when I
Speaker 1: get a little older, having a time share down there
Speaker 1: where I can go golfing whenever I want, maybe in
Speaker 1: the villages that yeah, hell yeah, a great place to be,
Speaker 1: uh Republican a less great place to not be, but
Speaker 1: you know it's hot. They had that weak little Biden
Speaker 1: parade after yeah they tried. They had a Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter protest um. It was all white people. But you know, no,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that. That's erasing some of my friends
Speaker 1: who are black organizers there. But it was a lot
Speaker 1: of white people shout out to them. All right, Anna,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1: I researched and this isn't very sexy. But my puppy
Speaker 1: is biting too much and my puppy energy because I
Speaker 1: was getting with my puppy that was very specific, kink.
Speaker 1: I'm a puppy mom right now. I've had this for
Speaker 1: a month. I got a dog like a lot of
Speaker 1: people because I was like, I'm home all the time.
Speaker 1: This is great. I what do you do with dogs
Speaker 1: your home? That's what they want. They want you to
Speaker 1: be home. But no, she's so much work. And she
Speaker 1: bites my finger so much, and she's like four pounds
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't. It's one of those things where I
Speaker 1: feel like less of a man. I'm not a man,
Speaker 1: but that's how I feel like I'm less of a man.
Speaker 1: Toxically normative sense, yes, yea tortured. She bites so hard
Speaker 1: and like the little teeth too, huh needle teeth, yes,
Speaker 1: And I my fingers are like covered in little infected
Speaker 1: by nail and I'm like, oh God, not again. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm afraid of her. And she's four months
Speaker 1: old but becoming sort of like what's that like Buddhist
Speaker 1: maxim about just sort of like you don't fear like
Speaker 1: the animal, like when you're bit by them, because that
Speaker 1: is their nature and it's not you know, that's just
Speaker 1: you're just existing within the animals nature. But I guess
Speaker 1: to the point where you're dying like a death by
Speaker 1: a thousand needle bites to your ends, it's a little
Speaker 1: bit hard to keep your composing, is there little needles
Speaker 1: and you're not because of course it's a baby, so
Speaker 1: you're she's crying right now. I don't know if you can.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. But listeners, um, she you
Speaker 1: can't get mad at her. You're not even really supposed
Speaker 1: to say. Also, if any listeners are like dog trainers,
Speaker 1: call me out. Let me know. Dog dog trainer Gang
Speaker 1: is definitely I think represented on this show. Please help her,
Speaker 1: right dog Twitter dog Gang. Um, yeah, Like you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to say no, So like I just have to
Speaker 1: be like, oh don't you're like yes, and then give
Speaker 1: her a bone, but then she doesn't want the bone.
Speaker 1: She wants my fingers or like she'll miss the bone
Speaker 1: and hit my fingers. I'm getting really deep into something
Speaker 1: that might not be relevant to your listeners, but it's right.
Speaker 1: I feel like such a little weenye, she rules my life.
Speaker 1: She's so small. Well, what could you do? It's not
Speaker 1: like you're gonna be like are you're gonna puff your
Speaker 1: chest up against the dog and get agro with it?
Speaker 1: You know, like you're just you're doing what you can.
Speaker 1: You know you can't can't even when I'll like get
Speaker 1: angry and like put her down on the floor, but
Speaker 1: with a little a little sauce, you know, like a
Speaker 1: little like you're down, and I feel so bad because
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, that's what like when people, you know,
Speaker 1: hit their kids for punishment, It's like it's you you
Speaker 1: feel guilty, Like I don't know that I'm hitting my dog.
Speaker 1: I'm really painting myself into a corner here. Whenever you're
Speaker 1: angry at the dog, you feel guilty because you're like,
Speaker 1: you don't know what right. Yeah. Also, I think I've
Speaker 1: offended a lot of people complaining about the dogs. I'll
Speaker 1: be like parents, I know what it's like. We're exhausted, right,
Speaker 1: you have kids? A dog's sauce? Yeah, you know how
Speaker 1: it is when you put your kid down with sauce.
Speaker 1: I've definitely I've had both in my house, and puppies
Speaker 1: are very difficult when they're at that point where they
Speaker 1: can't go, like they keep going to the bathroom in
Speaker 1: the house and like you can't get them. You also
Speaker 1: can't take them outside because they don't have their shots
Speaker 1: yet and all that. So like that can that's very tricky.
Speaker 1: Whereas just got her shots. So yes to that. But
Speaker 1: I I interrupted you. What were you saying. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, whereas infants you can just like let them
Speaker 1: go bathroom outside, like right away. Yeah, they don't need
Speaker 1: their shots either to go to the park. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: take them right to the baby park, let them off leash.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jack, I've for this. You'll have to text
Speaker 1: me that where that awfulish baby park is? Okay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Why are you interested in that much? Yeah? Because you
Speaker 1: know when I have my awfulish child. You know, on
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Um? I think
Speaker 1: outdoor coffee shops are underrated right now? I guess that's
Speaker 1: not really pop culture. But I am suffering like a
Speaker 1: lot of people. I live here with my boyfriend Edgar.
Speaker 1: My brother is staying with us, and now this dog
Speaker 1: and I need like it. Can't go to bars in
Speaker 1: l A. I get shamed for going to restaurants, so
Speaker 1: I don't go to Like the people in my bubble
Speaker 1: are not pro outdoor restaurants, so I'm not allowed to
Speaker 1: go to them. Yeah, so I have been occasionally when
Speaker 1: I have time, going to like these. There's like maybe
Speaker 1: four in close proximity coffee shops that have outdoor seating,
Speaker 1: and it feels like the before times, like I can sit,
Speaker 1: I can do a little work, shout out habitat Cafe
Speaker 1: Stories Cafe and Echo Park. I just it's like one
Speaker 1: of the only things that makes me feel human right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the people like being shoulder to shoulder or what is
Speaker 1: it like the transactional nature, because I know, like just
Speaker 1: going to the grocery store is like how I'm like, damn, Like, look,
Speaker 1: I paid for something, the person said thank you and
Speaker 1: then gave me a receipt and then I will walk
Speaker 1: to my car and go home. I did go to
Speaker 1: Target the other day, and oh that felt so fucking good.
Speaker 1: I had to take the puppy, but it was just
Speaker 1: still going to Target. People's dangerous right now because if
Speaker 1: you're trying to be in and out. Like I used
Speaker 1: to love to get high, I go to the grocery store,
Speaker 1: but I can't. I can't spend ninety minutes in a
Speaker 1: grocery store, so I have to be like like in
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like saying it all but my mind
Speaker 1: like eggs, butter cheese, tortilla, eggs, butter cheese, tortilla seltzer,
Speaker 1: and like trying to go down. But then next thing
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like listening to Lost Culture Rests or something,
Speaker 1: and I'm like laughing, like looking at like a bagga
Speaker 1: cheese because they're high an episode. I'm like, Addy shouldn't
Speaker 1: to smoke this episode, and I'm just like staring at
Speaker 1: a salad bar. So yeah, it's it's I feel that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then you want to buy all the decorations like
Speaker 1: I skipped Halloween. I don't know about you, guys. I
Speaker 1: did not buy decorations. I didn't do pumpkins. I vaguely
Speaker 1: dressed up as Brendan Jury from Panic at the disco
Speaker 1: because I happen to have some stuff in a box
Speaker 1: for sketch comedy, Yeah, which which the found item. Halloween
Speaker 1: costume is a specialty of mine where you just you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe I would look like that character if I put
Speaker 1: that on, and no one would get it, except because
Speaker 1: everyone had an Instagram Halloween. You can be like, see
Speaker 1: here's what I was copying. Uh since not tragedies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like when everyone was posting photos, they weren't going anywhere.
Speaker 1: They're just like, this is what a costume would have
Speaker 1: been for me this year. Yes, I was confounded as
Speaker 1: an elder doing my like weekly scroll on social Media'm
Speaker 1: like are people going out? And I'm like, are you
Speaker 1: just taking a photo of be? Like? And this was
Speaker 1: the costume. Now, twenty was the year of conceptual Halloween
Speaker 1: costumes because you didn't have to go out to a party.
Speaker 1: You could have a really like cumbersome costume and it
Speaker 1: didn't matter if anyone got it because you could let
Speaker 1: them know upon site with like reference Like I saw
Speaker 1: maybe four people dressed up as uh Drew Barrymore from
Speaker 1: what was it scream with the Telephone? Yeah? Yeah, like
Speaker 1: one person was dressed up as the telephone and it's like,
Speaker 1: you could You don't want to be that in real life,
Speaker 1: but for Instagram is perfect. A telephone? Isn't that just
Speaker 1: a sweater with blonde hair and a telephone. But it's
Speaker 1: so much more, so much more. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Okay, I think getting hot is overrated
Speaker 1: right now. Um, I have a couple of friends who
Speaker 1: are like working out right now and getting jacked and
Speaker 1: like getting aesthetically hot. I have a lot of friends
Speaker 1: who are doing no drink, like sober. I guess sober
Speaker 1: October became sober sober in November, and like if that,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to quit drinking because of addiction, great
Speaker 1: good on you. But there are people who are like
Speaker 1: trying to lose weight. And I'm like, I thought we
Speaker 1: were in this together together. I thought we were all like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna eat what we want, We're gonna probably drink
Speaker 1: every night, smoke a lot of weed, and you know,
Speaker 1: when we come out of it will be less hot.
Speaker 1: And that's fine, and I have been doing in that,
Speaker 1: but you're you're redefining hot. See they're they're they're on
Speaker 1: that ship, you know what I mean. We're on this
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic version of hotness, which is sort of like
Speaker 1: I indulged myself to get through. Yeah, but I love
Speaker 1: the attitude of like, don't leave me behind. That's like
Speaker 1: when my friends would smoke quit smoking weed in college,
Speaker 1: like when we graduated, like y'all don't know, man, Like
Speaker 1: I'm about to start my job. I can't really be
Speaker 1: smoking like that anymom, Like okay, motherfucking coward, you on
Speaker 1: your way to work right now. Oh but spoken like
Speaker 1: a true person who just doesn't like the mirror being
Speaker 1: held up to them, like oh okay, so because I'm
Speaker 1: still smoking, maybe I should read I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: So you are the enemy, that is, and that's me.
Speaker 1: Not of my jeans fit. And I'm not exaggerating when
Speaker 1: I say that, not jeans, tailored pants, anything that is
Speaker 1: not explicitly a sweatpant or your a pant does not
Speaker 1: fit me anymore. I have not put on jeans. They're violence.
Speaker 1: Oh my gods are violence. That's a great on T shirt.
Speaker 1: Jeans are violence. I mean it, really, if I've completely
Speaker 1: like I've been talking about this, the the drip, the
Speaker 1: flex is not even a real thing anymore. Like I
Speaker 1: used to like putting all my clothes on and be like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, man, a shirt with this that will look good.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, just give me out of here, man,
Speaker 1: I just gotta just gotta be covered. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's just a symptom of like my quarantine depression,
Speaker 1: but oh my god, that quarantine depression mixing with seasonal
Speaker 1: depression right now. Everybody was posting memes of that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: just wait till these two meet, diagram becomes a circle.
Speaker 1: But it's real. Oh my god, getting target four thirty,
Speaker 1: I am feeling it. Mm hmm. Hasn't always gotten does it? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I have to ask this question as the resident elderly
Speaker 1: white of this podcast. Do you feel like it's getting
Speaker 1: darker earlier than it has in years passed? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: I do, thank you? Why is it dark? Honestly? Four?
Speaker 1: Let me just say it. It's basically dark at four
Speaker 1: and right earlier too. Yes, And I feel like they
Speaker 1: sucked it up and there I feel like they fucked
Speaker 1: up and they're not letting on like they changed all
Speaker 1: the data from years past, because when I look at
Speaker 1: the data from years past, it looks like we're doing
Speaker 1: about the same as we were in terms of sunrise
Speaker 1: and sunset. But I swear, man, they they fucked up
Speaker 1: the rotation their way too. They're about an hour not man. No,
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you think about it, like they've
Speaker 1: been on this schedule of like, okay, we do one
Speaker 1: daylight savings like switch every year. Like it's not like
Speaker 1: they took a year off to like get ship right.
Speaker 1: So like, I just feel like it's arbitrary at a
Speaker 1: certain point. Um, And I could have sworn that up
Speaker 1: until the point when I did research and realized that
Speaker 1: it was still exactly on point because it's based on that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: orbit has changed around the Sun. I mean, I'm just
Speaker 1: having and just be like, I know what you feel,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I'm like, but
Speaker 1: you might be onto something else or maybe Jack has
Speaker 1: detected a disturbance in Earth's planetary orbit around the Sun,
Speaker 1: and this is something that this is actually something much larger.
Speaker 1: The coming down this is this is dumb. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is dumb. I recognize it's dumb and wrong, but
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. I'm telling you how I feel. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're dumb and wrong. I'm dumb and wrong for supporting you.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, guys, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and talk about this election that won't
Speaker 1: end and we're back. So the media is already kind
Speaker 1: of both sides in its way to a weird new
Speaker 1: reality that has sort of normalized the fact that the
Speaker 1: sitting president has refused to concede. They're acting like concessions
Speaker 1: no big deal, as opposed to one of the norms
Speaker 1: that makes our peaceful transition of power possible. Um, they're
Speaker 1: they're just like, come on, guys, it's let's start healing
Speaker 1: with the GOP, even though the GOP is not allowing
Speaker 1: for for this to happen, allowing for a peaceful transition
Speaker 1: of power. And they're just like making ship up. They're
Speaker 1: even like they will admit behind closed doors they're making
Speaker 1: shut up. But Miles, you were noticing that like some
Speaker 1: weird ships going on the media in terms weird it,
Speaker 1: this is how this country deals with itself. Uh. And
Speaker 1: Casey Hunt on MSNBC like said something like along the
Speaker 1: lines of like you know, like the Republicans you know
Speaker 1: in Congress, like you know, you have to give them
Speaker 1: credit for like quote like doing the work that keeps
Speaker 1: the country going or something like just the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: It's like okay that they vote against like relief packages,
Speaker 1: is that really the work that's there? Their obstructionists? But
Speaker 1: still like doing this thing of like being like, in
Speaker 1: case you're a Republican who just turned on MSNBC, we're nice, okay,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to be scared, even though like
Speaker 1: you are completely fucking wrong about everything. And even Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper was like sort of cringing at the list of
Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, trying to take into account
Speaker 1: the people who have supported this administration and basically trying
Speaker 1: to like naming these people so you know that they
Speaker 1: will have to be held accountable if they are trying
Speaker 1: to re enter the halls of power. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, if we should be doing that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. It sounds nefarious and dark,
Speaker 1: but concept list, but so did Santa okay, and we
Speaker 1: fucking love this guy, so yeah, and but the exactly
Speaker 1: and they won't even check these votes twice, but they
Speaker 1: need to. So this whole thing is sort of along
Speaker 1: this idea of healing. Right. Joe Bienen was also like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna work together. I will work with them, even
Speaker 1: though I saw what everyone else saw. These people have
Speaker 1: completely jettisoned themselves from reality and they're all about this
Speaker 1: idea of healing and healing the nation. And I'm just
Speaker 1: having such a hard time understanding, even in this context,
Speaker 1: how the media is gonna like take this tone of
Speaker 1: like why are we coddling trumpers on some like oh
Speaker 1: you poor baby, It's okay because it's in the name
Speaker 1: of healing, because I'm like, you know, to to go there,
Speaker 1: Like the definition of healing is to cause a wound,
Speaker 1: injury or person to become sound or healthy again. So
Speaker 1: in this instance, the wounds are too Democracy, the poor,
Speaker 1: people of color, l g B, t q I, a community,
Speaker 1: Indigenous people, a lot of people unless you're in that
Speaker 1: group of like gen X and older cis head white
Speaker 1: Christian people. Uh, this has not been a good run,
Speaker 1: and you're seeing a lot of things that you would
Speaker 1: love to have changed. So I'm not sure if that's
Speaker 1: the case, why isn't the healing going in that direction
Speaker 1: towards those people live names, towards those institutions I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: rather than the fucking goons who smashed up the place,
Speaker 1: like treating them like some fucked up emo teen werewolf
Speaker 1: who's like, oh I get it, baby, if the full
Speaker 1: moon came out and you're just going through some stuff,
Speaker 1: But let's come here, let yon, let's save your life.
Speaker 1: Like it's not like this is not the fucking time
Speaker 1: for that, Like we these are the people who are
Speaker 1: the enemies of all that is good. There's not a
Speaker 1: single thing, a policy point I can point to that
Speaker 1: shows any kind of humanity or empathy. So they need
Speaker 1: to be treated like that, not to say like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need a fucking like we need like violence against
Speaker 1: these people, but they need to be held to account
Speaker 1: and they need to be run the funk out of town.
Speaker 1: Like So I don't know that that's where I'm the focus.
Speaker 1: The focus needs to be on the healing that needs
Speaker 1: to be done with the people who were, you know,
Speaker 1: physically abused by this administration and you know or just
Speaker 1: ideologically abused by this administration. Like just focus your healing
Speaker 1: if you have so much empathy, like focus your healing
Speaker 1: that way, that that needs to be the solution. Like days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it kind of comes back to that
Speaker 1: argument that was happening and that is still happening right
Speaker 1: after the election with um the Democratic leadership or parts
Speaker 1: of the Democratic leadership like Pelosi, um saying that the
Speaker 1: reason I'm sure you guys talked about this, Like, the
Speaker 1: reason Democrats lost certain seats was because of defund the police,
Speaker 1: Like was because because of this perceived radicalism and socialism
Speaker 1: on the left. When and then they point to those
Speaker 1: races in red districts and they say, like, well, look,
Speaker 1: you know, just because progressives win in blue districts doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. But I think that that logic is just
Speaker 1: so fundamentally flawed because that this the like, the fiery
Speaker 1: nous of the base on the left in the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party comes from people in BLM, comes from people who
Speaker 1: are appalled by ice. So like the idea that's saying
Speaker 1: defund ice is even uh so scary to these moderate
Speaker 1: Democrats is like such a bummer. Yeah, I mean, look
Speaker 1: what happened when Trump focused on the base like he
Speaker 1: had all time, you know, amazing turnout like that. So
Speaker 1: and he and his ideas are far far more unpopular
Speaker 1: than the ideas from the progressive side. Like that's one
Speaker 1: thing that I feel like gets lost in all this
Speaker 1: is how unpopular, like even even with regards to them
Speaker 1: normalizing the well, we don't know who won the election
Speaker 1: at thing. Eighty percent of Americans think Biden, one three
Speaker 1: percent think Trump did like the American people know, and
Speaker 1: the media is still covering it like it's a fucking
Speaker 1: both sides. They're scared, they're scared. These people are all friends, right,
Speaker 1: and it's unfortunate that we are the ones that are
Speaker 1: going to feel the effects of their unwillingness to shake
Speaker 1: things up in their own circles, just like I was
Speaker 1: talking about when the uprisings were going down, and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: white people, you need to fucking look around. And if
Speaker 1: you're if you're sitting on the sidelines while your friends
Speaker 1: are saying some racist ship and you just keep your
Speaker 1: mouth shut, you might as well just put the MAGA
Speaker 1: cap on two, because things aren't going to change unless
Speaker 1: you yourself as a human being. In this note of
Speaker 1: information takes sentiments philosophies transmit the idea that I am
Speaker 1: here for inclusivity, I am here for equality. I am
Speaker 1: anti racist. This is not what I funk with. If
Speaker 1: you are, if this is your thing, we're not vibing.
Speaker 1: In fact, you should actually remove your energy from my
Speaker 1: circle because that's not what I'm here to uplift. I'm
Speaker 1: actually here to uplift people. And all these people in media,
Speaker 1: they're in the same situation, but can't do the work
Speaker 1: of actually expressing to their colleagues and the people they
Speaker 1: work like, Yo, you're fucking trash bro. I'm sorry, Like
Speaker 1: I can't have you on, like this is fucking bullshit.
Speaker 1: You're gonna say something racist and I'm I'm not here
Speaker 1: for it. But they're not. They're not thinking like that.
Speaker 1: They're too comfortable with where they're at, so they're unwilling
Speaker 1: to fear of discomfort and if there's something about moderate
Speaker 1: white people and maybe white culture in general, although I
Speaker 1: don't know how like trumps Um squares into that, but
Speaker 1: this and I'm half Swedish, so I see it on
Speaker 1: my fucking Swedish side so hard. This fear of discomfort
Speaker 1: and this fear of conflict and this value that like
Speaker 1: at the dinner table you put politics aside, is just
Speaker 1: so problematic. It's why white supremacism spreads. It's it's because
Speaker 1: of that fear. And I do truly see it on
Speaker 1: my Swedish side. Yeah, I don't, you know, don't want to,
Speaker 1: but that's the that's the comfort that these people have.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, marginalized people do not know exactly what it's
Speaker 1: like to be uncomfortable constantly, So there's no there's there's
Speaker 1: no fear on this side to be like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go out here with screaming in the streets what
Speaker 1: I believe because I'm already on car, I'm actually having
Speaker 1: to scream because I am uncomfortable. And the reason you
Speaker 1: are not screaming is because you are comfortable, and from
Speaker 1: your perspective, you cannot understand that. So the worst thing
Speaker 1: to happen to you is just make ship uncomfortable for
Speaker 1: you without seeing what what happens to everyone else. And
Speaker 1: it's it's sad to see, like how the Democrats do.
Speaker 1: They're like, and I hate to bring this up, some
Speaker 1: high school ship up, but they remind me of this
Speaker 1: homie I had in high school who was got pushed
Speaker 1: around a lot and I felt bad for him. He
Speaker 1: was he would like to sling drugs with me and
Speaker 1: was kind of like a fake tough guy. We were
Speaker 1: at a party in Northridge. Some dudes pulled up to
Speaker 1: him and said, YO, give me your chain, and he
Speaker 1: gave it to him and then later on I'm not joking,
Speaker 1: they just said, YO, come up like you're fronting your
Speaker 1: fucking chain. Bro. He gave him that chain. Then he
Speaker 1: comes up to me and some of my other boys
Speaker 1: and like and some of my friends who play football,
Speaker 1: a bigger dudes, and like, the party was mostly like
Speaker 1: someone we knew so that these goons were outnumbered. But
Speaker 1: he's like, yo, man, they took my chain. Were like,
Speaker 1: what the funk? Why didn't you say something? You just
Speaker 1: gave him your fucking chain. He's like, I didn't know
Speaker 1: like that, maybe they're going to do something. And I said,
Speaker 1: what the We'll go get your chain back and he went.
Speaker 1: He comes back and he had the chain. I said.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh good, you got your ship back. What
Speaker 1: did you say? It goes? Oh, they said I could
Speaker 1: get it back for for forty bucks. You bought your
Speaker 1: chain back. That's what the Democrats to remind me of.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You get fucking pushed around,
Speaker 1: motherfucker's gonna take your chain. You're gonna you're gonna try
Speaker 1: and reach out to your friends and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you help me out? They took my chain and
Speaker 1: then you got your chain, like, oh it was it
Speaker 1: because no, no, I bought it back. You got fucking
Speaker 1: played again. And it's just hard to see that there's
Speaker 1: this there. There needs to be an actual people need
Speaker 1: to stand up to this because for all the talk
Speaker 1: of like how we're so close to a civil war,
Speaker 1: we're looking at the people who are going to continue
Speaker 1: to be a pain point or a source of instability.
Speaker 1: Like then, so we need to actually handle that rather
Speaker 1: than like being like, Okay, well here, that's fine. Let's
Speaker 1: let's name this is the Stephen Miller Children's Library, and
Speaker 1: this is the Ben Carson Institute of Neurologic. Will name
Speaker 1: these after them, so the Trumpers aren't mad, No, fuck that,
Speaker 1: you're fucking you're lost. There's less of you, and you
Speaker 1: just got to figure out what time it is. And
Speaker 1: the fact that we're dragging our feet because we don't
Speaker 1: want to make ignorant people uncomfortable is so fucked up.
Speaker 1: And it's dragging us to the right too. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's the reason that the center isn't the center anymore.
Speaker 1: Why the center is called radical socialism now, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you doubt that there's a corporate hierarchy at work
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media or in the two party political system,
Speaker 1: like the sixty nine percent of voters support medicare for all,
Speaker 1: and that is treated by the mainstream media, like there's
Speaker 1: no mainstream media outlet like MSNBC doesn't cape for medicare
Speaker 1: for all, Like MSNBC is like, you know, that's that's impractical,
Speaker 1: Like cause start like start thinking about ways that we
Speaker 1: can get this through our corporate overlords like that, And
Speaker 1: that's the furthest left you can get. Neither party is
Speaker 1: willing to even entertain the idea of medicare for all,
Speaker 1: and when uh an election happens, they slant the data
Speaker 1: to make it seem like, oh, you know, even the
Speaker 1: idea of medicare for all was scary, so scary to
Speaker 1: people that Trump almost one Like it's just it's even
Speaker 1: though they walked into the wave off the back of
Speaker 1: that messaging, it's a mess of misinformation. I think I'm
Speaker 1: on public health care and it's great, It's fucking awesome.
Speaker 1: It's like the idea that anyone would not want this
Speaker 1: is like simply an information war that were lost the
Speaker 1: same thing, like what Prop twenty two was in California
Speaker 1: where probably like for again, I hate to bring local
Speaker 1: news to this show, but like this was a proposition
Speaker 1: that Uber and Lyft put together to a void treating
Speaker 1: their employees humanely like actual employees rather than car parts.
Speaker 1: I think there was a funny tweet about that um
Speaker 1: and now you know, with so they have their people
Speaker 1: to message that they made it look like Prop twenty
Speaker 1: two was going to harm the drivers, much in the
Speaker 1: same way that the health insurance industry will message around
Speaker 1: how Medicare for All will limit your choices, your options,
Speaker 1: Because really, at the end of the day, it's it's
Speaker 1: not really any of the ship we're saying. It's the
Speaker 1: fact that it's going to eat into our profits and
Speaker 1: we are signing we're kind of on a trajectory where
Speaker 1: we need to make as much money as possible. So
Speaker 1: that's just that's kind of our north star. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like with the uber stuff, it's like, literally the
Speaker 1: only reason they pushed that was to increase their profit
Speaker 1: margins because they had they had to be profitable by
Speaker 1: a certain point based on their projections or would get mad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll get mad, right, Oh my god. So the other
Speaker 1: kind of major story that's happening right now while the
Speaker 1: President totally off the grid, is that the pandemic is
Speaker 1: just off the fucking charts. Like basically every state has
Speaker 1: what's termed out of control spread where you can't even
Speaker 1: like think about doing contact tracing because you you probably
Speaker 1: got it from three different people. And there's no relief
Speaker 1: coming from anywhere. You know. The President hasn't been seen
Speaker 1: in public in days other than like a quick like
Speaker 1: appearance for Veterans Day, but like he's not talking about
Speaker 1: anything other than spreading his conspiracy theories about voter voter fraud.
Speaker 1: But they're thinking, you know, their projections that say there
Speaker 1: are just gonna be four hundred thousand deaths by February.
Speaker 1: We've got the holidays coming up, as we talked about
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, like people are going to
Speaker 1: probably travel for Christmas, for Thanksgiving, and this is like
Speaker 1: right in the teeth of like the very worst that
Speaker 1: this pandemic has been, so like a lot of people
Speaker 1: are going to are going to perish. It's really scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm from Florida and I see it. They
Speaker 1: have no restrictions. You can eat indoors, you can go indoors,
Speaker 1: you don't. You can't mandate a mask. So plenty of restaurants,
Speaker 1: servers don't have masks. Um gyms are open, you don't
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask in a gym, and it's
Speaker 1: almost like cultural in that. Even my parents, who were
Speaker 1: pretty strict. I mean, my dad is immunocompromised and he
Speaker 1: works in medicine, knows the risk even he fucking goes
Speaker 1: to the gym and I'm like, Dad, you know, people
Speaker 1: are panting without masks indoors, you know. But it's like
Speaker 1: that little bit just that's that's him being strict there
Speaker 1: because he'll still wear a mask and like he doesn't
Speaker 1: go that many places, he won't fly. But it's sad,
Speaker 1: you know. And then here we're in l A, which
Speaker 1: even with our search, it feels like everything is so strict. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh man. It's especially the piece about the relief for
Speaker 1: people not being there. That's it's so fucking dark and morbid.
Speaker 1: And the already like the austerity takes are coming from
Speaker 1: from Republicans because they know Biden. It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean, out of control spending. It's like, motherfucker, it's
Speaker 1: still the Trump administration with you. That's again why I like,
Speaker 1: shame on these fucking people for acting like you need
Speaker 1: these people around still, or that you shouldn't be treating
Speaker 1: them like You're like, yo, shut the funk up, Like
Speaker 1: I want to hear people saying that. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear shut the funk up. Mitch, you had your
Speaker 1: saying bullshit, that's what they need. Fucking maybe they you know,
Speaker 1: get me in there, give me Kamala Harris's Senate seat.
Speaker 1: But oh yeah, I'm serious, I'll take him to task.
Speaker 1: But the whole thing, um, all of that coupled with
Speaker 1: the idea that there's true human suffering on a scale
Speaker 1: that is just unfathomable, especially like in this country where
Speaker 1: we think like everything is so great. But again, there's
Speaker 1: another portion where the media when Donald Trump is in office,
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how much energy MSNBC has for wages,
Speaker 1: for job numbers, for unemployment, because I've seen what it's like.
Speaker 1: I've lived through the Obama years and and and Clinton years.
Speaker 1: Like there's a there's a way to just completely refocus
Speaker 1: what the priorities are are. And for a moment, I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, look at MSNBC or seeing and talking
Speaker 1: about these issues about working people. I don't I feel
Speaker 1: like it only serves them when they can fire that
Speaker 1: up against the right. And yeah, on top of all
Speaker 1: this with a jump start transition or stop start transition.
Speaker 1: It just makes me so fucking cynical and just sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those takes aren't going to be coming from the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Like you're gonna need to get them
Speaker 1: from podcasts. Basically, That's what I was gonna say, Like, guys,
Speaker 1: come on, MSNBC has the past. You get your hot
Speaker 1: takes from podcasts. You get your news from podcasts, and
Speaker 1: also probably print journalism and also print journalism that does podcasts.
Speaker 1: An underrated detail of the election was that people there
Speaker 1: was like a higher than I think ever before rate
Speaker 1: of people saying they were better off than they were
Speaker 1: four years ago. And they think that's because of all
Speaker 1: the deficit spending, all the benefits that were given to
Speaker 1: people during the COVID crisis. That like made people feel okay,
Speaker 1: I feel like they were being taken care of. The
Speaker 1: fact that Trump's still lost by like a historic margin,
Speaker 1: um or not by a historic margin, but that Biden
Speaker 1: got a historic amount of the boat is just a
Speaker 1: an indication of like how completely fucked everything else that
Speaker 1: Trump did was. But like that the fact that the
Speaker 1: Democrats aren't going to be able to do. That is
Speaker 1: so frustrating. And I don't even know if they would
Speaker 1: do that if they had all the branches of government,
Speaker 1: because they just they hold themselves to a standard that
Speaker 1: the Republican Party never holds itself to. Yeah. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's not even a standard that helps the fucking base. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't help for their own, doesn't help the basis,
Speaker 1: doesn't help anybody. Yeah, it's well, we didn't go there.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but you also didn't help anybody either,
Speaker 1: So what the fund was it all for? Right? It
Speaker 1: just creates a better safety net, which makes American capitalism
Speaker 1: less fevered and just like desperate, which isn't always the
Speaker 1: best thing for corporations. I guess all right, let's take
Speaker 1: another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: Did you guys catch the Dean Browning saga? You know what?
Speaker 1: That's a as a gay black man or as a
Speaker 1: gay black guy. That My favorite thing was catching people
Speaker 1: who posted too soon as it unfolded and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at him posting as a black man,
Speaker 1: and then going and being like, actually, the story has
Speaker 1: just enfolded more. I found like four people who had
Speaker 1: posted just too soon and then like got a barrage
Speaker 1: of responses being like, no, it's actually Patty you Libell's nephew,
Speaker 1: not her son, so her adopted son. And it started
Speaker 1: with a tweet of someone saying like what Trump created
Speaker 1: in four years, Biden will destroy in like four months
Speaker 1: or something like. Somebody somebody replied and said, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: contradicted that essentially. And and this guy Dean Browning, who
Speaker 1: was a failed I think House candidate, responded to that
Speaker 1: and said, and he's you know, maybe the whitest person
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in your life. He responded and said,
Speaker 1: as I am a gay black man, and I had
Speaker 1: a better time under under Trump than anything under Obama.
Speaker 1: And people, I think we're just initially confused because people
Speaker 1: didn't it didn't go viral like right away, people are like,
Speaker 1: is he like is this performance art? Or some people
Speaker 1: screen but then people screenshot at it and then it
Speaker 1: started going viral, and so I almost definitely what happened
Speaker 1: is that he has a puppet account that he thought
Speaker 1: he was posting under because he was just in a
Speaker 1: haze of you know, pulling all the different levers, having
Speaker 1: the different browser windows open. Uh, and he didn't realize
Speaker 1: he was posting as himself, and so once he got
Speaker 1: called out, he hit up his homie Petty Labelle's nephew
Speaker 1: who is apparently like a you know, a troll and
Speaker 1: a conservative who's like online calls himself an anti feminist,
Speaker 1: and uh, he said he created a video where he
Speaker 1: was like, no, it wasn't that guy. He uh just
Speaker 1: was quoting something that I sent him. I am Dan Purdy,
Speaker 1: except he's like a public figure and people like know
Speaker 1: who he is and his name's not Damn Purdy. And
Speaker 1: then he just kept like tripling down like this dude
Speaker 1: was just Dean Browning would not let it go. He
Speaker 1: he just kept tweeting about it, being like, I'm apparently trending.
Speaker 1: Wish Hunter Biden's laptop had trended as much as I'm trending,
Speaker 1: but America. Um. And then later he was like, I'd
Speaker 1: love to see a debate between Candice Owens and AOC. Like, oh, really, sir,
Speaker 1: you act like you didn't just fully show yourself. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's also really sick. Take dude, I would love AOC.
Speaker 1: I would love to see Battle of the Colored People
Speaker 1: on a debate stage. Thanks Dean, Browning get how he
Speaker 1: got a blue check? So he get he got one
Speaker 1: just for being a candidate, right, he got one for
Speaker 1: being a mutant who can shape shift into a conservative
Speaker 1: political candidate or a gay black man or who knows what.
Speaker 1: I think blue checks are bad. I think because of
Speaker 1: the amount of like people spewing hate speech who have
Speaker 1: blue checks, like that ruins it for everyone, and we
Speaker 1: should just not have blue checks. Yeah. I think that's
Speaker 1: how we're going to eventually turn the tide against capitalism
Speaker 1: and hyper consumer cultures if we completely take away the
Speaker 1: magic of the blue check. That's step one, you know,
Speaker 1: to be like, no, there are no there aren't there
Speaker 1: are no classes even on social media. We are one.
Speaker 1: And then exactly uh, then we shut down Trump's Twitter account, which,
Speaker 1: like you know is going to happen right once he's
Speaker 1: out of office. Well, he's definitely not gonna be able
Speaker 1: to know. Yeah, I mean, he definitely is not going
Speaker 1: to get the benefit, like the public interest benefits that
Speaker 1: he was getting to be able to say ship where
Speaker 1: now to just be like, oh, yeah, I'm just reporting
Speaker 1: this asshole on Twitter? Can you can you suspend his account? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna be like, still gonna take
Speaker 1: up a lot of the oxygen. Like the media is
Speaker 1: still going to pay attention to him. The right wing
Speaker 1: media is still going to you know, yeah, follow him
Speaker 1: and treat him as like the leader of like basically
Speaker 1: the the president in waiting or I'm not joking. Van
Speaker 1: Jones is prop within three years probably going to say
Speaker 1: some ship like you know, he's really had an evil
Speaker 1: a renaissance since he's been out of office. You know,
Speaker 1: all these people are going to rehab his fucking image
Speaker 1: like it's just a fucking TV network. There's just an
Speaker 1: inability from these people to actually be able to be
Speaker 1: like this guy's discussing, never put him on the fucking
Speaker 1: TV again. It's only like when that you know, we
Speaker 1: realize he's been numerically voted out of office, that people like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna cut that out because that was nonsense. Yeah, God,
Speaker 1: that was virtue signaling. That's what I think. I mean,
Speaker 1: they found their integrity. So I do just want to
Speaker 1: talk about the fraud stuff real quick and just where
Speaker 1: we are with it, because not talking about it, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, you would think anything besides the truth
Speaker 1: would make it seem more realistic than it actually is. Right. So,
Speaker 1: one thing that's happening is Trump is sending out like
Speaker 1: twenty emails a day two supporters basically trying to get
Speaker 1: them to donate money. So he's going into full scam mode. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's you know and saying things like one, we're gonna
Speaker 1: match your offer one thousand percent or we're gonna match
Speaker 1: your donation one thousand percent. But then like the fine
Speaker 1: print people pointed out like doesn't say anything that implies
Speaker 1: they would actually do that. Um, it's just like yeah,
Speaker 1: like no, no clue where that money was going to
Speaker 1: come from. And there there's also like they just can't
Speaker 1: find a single instance of fraud like they I think
Speaker 1: they they found one in Nevada that then got disproven,
Speaker 1: Like they can't. There's so many, Like in any national election,
Speaker 1: you're going to find what at least one, yeah, at
Speaker 1: least one, like there's gonna be plenty uh and even
Speaker 1: just not a statistically significant amount of fraud. And that's
Speaker 1: why the secretaries of State were like, oh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna find something, like there always is, but
Speaker 1: it's never on this scale that you're like, oh god,
Speaker 1: this tipped in election. Yeah, unless it's like a house
Speaker 1: race in North Carolina. The Georgia Secretary of State just
Speaker 1: announced that he's like giving into the pressure. I mean,
Speaker 1: he is a Republican. H he is saying that they're
Speaker 1: going to do uh by hand vote for vote recount
Speaker 1: of the whole state's presidential election. So that's that's happening.
Speaker 1: But I mean, and unless there's some serious fuckory going
Speaker 1: on like that, it's going to be the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Because they were very careful actually less. So what's going on? Well,
Speaker 1: so you're not telling me there's not a whole conspiracy.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what That's all they need. That's all
Speaker 1: they'll continue to use to try and give oxygen to
Speaker 1: this thing. But they just it's all vague allegations, never
Speaker 1: a single specific instance. Uh. And you you pointed out
Speaker 1: this postal worker example, Miles that I can't believe even
Speaker 1: even Okay, So like in Pennsylvania, right, they were like
Speaker 1: we talked I don't know if we talked about on
Speaker 1: trends or we were just I may have just been
Speaker 1: saying this as a decide to Jack about. I was
Speaker 1: watching one American news and they were like they had
Speaker 1: James O'Keefe final the Project Veritas people, and they're like, look,
Speaker 1: we're gonna call this postal office in Erie, Pennsylvania where
Speaker 1: this postal worker said they were posts they were post
Speaker 1: dating or backdating some of the ballots so they could
Speaker 1: be counted with the count And they call it and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just calling about the ballots that were backdated to
Speaker 1: November thirds and like they hung up, and like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, did you see they hung up? They knew
Speaker 1: their bust. So all of that momentum came from this
Speaker 1: person named Richard Hopkins, who works who does work for
Speaker 1: the postal service in Erie, and he signed a sworn
Speaker 1: AFFI David with allegations of this tampering, of this fraud,
Speaker 1: that they were backdating ballots so they could be counted
Speaker 1: in time. Ones that came in late up hit him
Speaker 1: with the November third stamp. That way we can get
Speaker 1: this ship I can. Oh. Postal also I think said
Speaker 1: that postal workers were instructed to still pick up ballots
Speaker 1: after election day and so this was a you know,
Speaker 1: this was like a big claim. They were all saying, look,
Speaker 1: this is this is it. We got a whistleblower here.
Speaker 1: So the Postal Service Inspector General goes in and they
Speaker 1: have to investigate because they're saying, what the funk is
Speaker 1: going on here? And they started asking this man, Richard Hopkins,
Speaker 1: what the fun was going on. After they were talking
Speaker 1: to him, this man recanted his allegations. And then when
Speaker 1: he when they're asking like, well, then why would you
Speaker 1: sign this if you're gonna recant, would not explain. Then
Speaker 1: he goes to then he goes to the Project Veritas
Speaker 1: people and was like, oh, I'm recanting my recantation because
Speaker 1: I was bullied by investigators And they're like, well, legally
Speaker 1: you you didn't say shit anymore, so you can say
Speaker 1: everything you like you have to. But this is this
Speaker 1: is the state of their you know, manufacturing of fraud.
Speaker 1: And to even go further down that road, Lieutenant Governor
Speaker 1: of Texas and Patrick Yes, the guy who was like,
Speaker 1: your grandmother will fucking die for capitalism, Fuck COVID. Your
Speaker 1: grandma used to get out there and start working ho
Speaker 1: like that man he said he is. Actually he's chumming
Speaker 1: the waters with a one million dollar prize, but read
Speaker 1: the fine print. If you can actually conjure up some material,
Speaker 1: as he says. This article is saying the Lieutenant governor
Speaker 1: is backing Trump's efforts uh to identify voter fraud by
Speaker 1: offering up to one million dollars from his campaign for
Speaker 1: anyone to come forward with evidence from anywhere in the country.
Speaker 1: Patrick said he is offering the reward to quote, incentivize, encourage,
Speaker 1: and reward people to come forward and report voter fraud
Speaker 1: end quote. Anyone who this is. This is where it
Speaker 1: gets very republican. Anyone who provides information that ultimately ends
Speaker 1: in an arrest and final conviction will be paid twenty
Speaker 1: five thou dollars minimum. Wow, so no one will actually
Speaker 1: get money. Very smart, not a millie. But you know,
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. That's that's big. I
Speaker 1: put Lex's badges on my camera so it looks baller
Speaker 1: energy and I respect the hustle Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is they're now sending out they have
Speaker 1: by bribe money to national prize money like that fucking lie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I don't get. America is full of sports fans.
Speaker 1: Republicans are often sports fans. How do you not look
Speaker 1: at even if you're watching O A N and you're
Speaker 1: watching Fox News. How do you not look at this
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, this is being a sore loser, Like
Speaker 1: you don't go up to the Lakers and say, uh,
Speaker 1: I guess the like I'm going to really sure, what
Speaker 1: would you say? You don't say, hey, if you heard
Speaker 1: anything about people cheating, let us know, because like, I
Speaker 1: don't think the Lakers want fair and square. Clippers fans
Speaker 1: might say that, yeah, Clippers fans might say that what happened?
Speaker 1: You know, how did that swing happen? But yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the point Jack was making even
Speaker 1: with that stat of the people believe Joe Biden one.
Speaker 1: So there's definitely that are fully in the darkness um
Speaker 1: and they are unwilling to say that. And there are
Speaker 1: other reports to that says seventy of Republicans though, don't
Speaker 1: feel that the elections were fair. So Republicans are still
Speaker 1: kind of their their half like, yeah, Joe Biden one,
Speaker 1: but it's probably dirty, much in the same way that
Speaker 1: Pete Democrats were looking at the election and being like,
Speaker 1: was this fucking real? What fucking applied? Is this? I
Speaker 1: get it? But at the end of the day, you
Speaker 1: come around to the idea that it's like, look, either there,
Speaker 1: they'll either prove it or they didn't. But the reality
Speaker 1: is that this person is the president. Uh, and then
Speaker 1: it's incumbent on you to organize your people to try
Speaker 1: and you know, fucking win an election. But yeah, we're
Speaker 1: we're going into a new phase or like even who
Speaker 1: knows like what votes are, because every effort is to
Speaker 1: basically dissolve people's belief in the idea that you cast
Speaker 1: a vote for someone and that means something. I mean,
Speaker 1: the chumming the water is a great metaphor to use
Speaker 1: for this million dollar prize because it's going to create
Speaker 1: so many false positives that then they can take you know,
Speaker 1: months and months to investigate and it will just always
Speaker 1: keep it out there, this idea that there was fraud
Speaker 1: or that the election wasn't fair, And that's really what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. That's the whole point of this.
Speaker 1: Like they know that they're not gonna overturn the thing
Speaker 1: unless there's like a fucking actual armed uprising, like they're
Speaker 1: not going to Trump is not going to be the
Speaker 1: president on January, but they're they're trying to keep it
Speaker 1: so that they can be like we we never lost
Speaker 1: like that. We didn't lose a fair a fair match. Basically, now,
Speaker 1: as patriots, we do have a duty to call these
Speaker 1: hotlines and send in prank. Yeah, just gum it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the super cuts of people calling that first fraud line
Speaker 1: were so good, and they're so those people are so frustrated.
Speaker 1: Who are like manning those phones are like it's mostly nonsense,
Speaker 1: but they do a good job of like reeling in
Speaker 1: for the first five minutes. Damn ye know they told
Speaker 1: me to suck ass again? Yeah, Mark that? Yeah, Mark that.
Speaker 1: And I want to have them to keep of those
Speaker 1: people working those jobs. But man, it's hard. It's like
Speaker 1: parking enforcement. It's hard. Yeah, let's let's talk real quick
Speaker 1: about Britney spears. Um, what's going on with Brittany? This
Speaker 1: is just like such a I don't like to use
Speaker 1: this phrase because I think it's overused, but it's this
Speaker 1: is cough casque. This is like a complete mind fuck.
Speaker 1: She is almost forty, her dad is in charge of
Speaker 1: her career and her life, and she just tried to
Speaker 1: be like, can I be in control of my life
Speaker 1: now as an adult? And she's like not allowed to
Speaker 1: fire her debt. Like the lawyers, Like she's just saying
Speaker 1: that your honor. Like, so she's still in her conservatorship,
Speaker 1: still in her conservatorship. Yeah, and the only thing they
Speaker 1: allowed her to do was add a financial Uh. It's
Speaker 1: like a trust that is going to help oversee it
Speaker 1: because she doesn't feel like she can trust her dad
Speaker 1: to do like the best things with her money, like
Speaker 1: the things that are in her interest with her money.
Speaker 1: It's like straight out of the nineteen forties, Like I
Speaker 1: listened to um you must remember when you must remember this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and every one of those stories about like the Hollywood
Speaker 1: starlets in the twenties and thirties and forties and so
Speaker 1: tragically with them like not in control of their life,
Speaker 1: and the studio is making all these decisions. And I
Speaker 1: feel like we're going to look at this Britney Spears
Speaker 1: thing in twenty years and be like that's tragic. How
Speaker 1: was that happening? How is that legal? Like, yeah, she
Speaker 1: had a mental breakdown at one point, and maybe she
Speaker 1: will blow all of her money, but that is her
Speaker 1: God given, that is her right. Yeah, having made all
Speaker 1: of that money. I have not seen her dad perform,
Speaker 1: but I bet he's not as good a performer as
Speaker 1: her I bet fewer people would pay money to see
Speaker 1: him perform, but he but he's getting to control all
Speaker 1: this money. Um. Some quotes from the hearing, which was
Speaker 1: a rare, like this sort of thing has been going
Speaker 1: on for the twelve years that she's been in the conservatorship,
Speaker 1: but we just got to like witness this one or
Speaker 1: the media got to witness this one. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like you said this at a time, like even Brittany
Speaker 1: acknowledges like this was a good thing when I had
Speaker 1: my mental breakdown own because like they were able to,
Speaker 1: you know, make responsible decisions when I wasn't able to
Speaker 1: do that for myself. But it's unheard of for it too,
Speaker 1: for a conservatorship to last this long. Um. And her
Speaker 1: lawyer said, my client has informed me that she is
Speaker 1: afraid of her father. She will not perform again if
Speaker 1: her father is in charge of her career. Um. And
Speaker 1: then her dad's lawyer Vivian Lee Thorine, which Thorian sounds
Speaker 1: like a treatment like a movie villain. Yeah exactly. It
Speaker 1: was just like yeah, yeah, exactly, just it's it's so fucked.
Speaker 1: So it began in two thousand and eight when she
Speaker 1: was having serious mental struggles, but the arrangements are normally
Speaker 1: limited to people with severely diminished ability to make decisions
Speaker 1: for themselves, and there's just like no evidence that that
Speaker 1: is the case here. Yeah, she's got a whole vibe
Speaker 1: on Instagram. She's I think more than capable at this point,
Speaker 1: and like most people have been, I think as most
Speaker 1: like people who even investigat or look deeper into this conservatorship.
Speaker 1: It's not as simple as like, no, man, like she
Speaker 1: needs to be under that. It's like, no, dude, people
Speaker 1: are basically using her likeness and her fucking physical her
Speaker 1: body to make money, uh and do things like you know,
Speaker 1: enter into business agreements she might not want to do.
Speaker 1: But again, she has no ability or power legally to
Speaker 1: determine those things for herself. And she could go on tour,
Speaker 1: I mean not on tour because of COVID, but like,
Speaker 1: she still is so relevant and has such a strong
Speaker 1: fan base. Like it's crazy that that is then seen
Speaker 1: as not like mentally capable enough of being an adult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's not that she's not just not allowed to
Speaker 1: make decisions for herself about her own finances. She's not
Speaker 1: even allowed to like know about the decisions that are made,
Speaker 1: Like that's one of the things she's fighting for is
Speaker 1: like her dad just fired her business manager and never
Speaker 1: told her about it. And she's like, could I like
Speaker 1: at least be told when like these major decisions are
Speaker 1: being made. And they're like nah, They're like wait, I'm
Speaker 1: making a fragrance. They're like, yeah, you are, that's right.
Speaker 1: I don't want to, but I don't care. It's a
Speaker 1: conservatorship that it's and for all that you know her
Speaker 1: dad and I hate to say this, he is not
Speaker 1: that innocent. And that's been my time. Wow, and we'll
Speaker 1: go out on that on a it's been a pleasure
Speaker 1: of having you. Uh where can people find you and
Speaker 1: follow you? You can find me on Twitter at bad
Speaker 1: Comics with an x by Anna with two ends, and
Speaker 1: it's the same on Instagram, um, and uh yeah, those
Speaker 1: are the two places. I was like teeing up to
Speaker 1: say a third, but I'm not on TikTok. I am,
Speaker 1: but I have never posted a TikTok and I think
Speaker 1: I have two followers, one of them being Danny Fernandez
Speaker 1: because we connected early on and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you should post and I was like, no, I'm not you,
Speaker 1: are you like kind of torn or is there internal
Speaker 1: conflict about the fact that you haven't posted yet or
Speaker 1: do you have plans to post? I always think about
Speaker 1: it because like, um, Kim the red Dot is, she's
Speaker 1: like very good at TikTok and just being on all
Speaker 1: the social media as a person who makes a web comic.
Speaker 1: But I feel old. I look at TikTok and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is beautiful the ship people are doing on here
Speaker 1: intentionally and not intentionally. It's so perfect. What could I
Speaker 1: possibly contribute? Mm hmm uh. And is there a tweeters
Speaker 1: some of the work of social media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there is this can I say a TikTok?
Speaker 1: I think it made the rounds on Twitter. There is
Speaker 1: this TikTok of a girl who is like, there's this
Speaker 1: meme on TikTok where they play like this emotional music
Speaker 1: and you sing along to it, but you act out something.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've seen it where um, there's like the Republicans
Speaker 1: pulling her one way and yes, and then uh oh,
Speaker 1: there's also the virus one but and then the Democrats
Speaker 1: pulling her this way and there's blue on her face
Speaker 1: and like abortion pulling her this way and like, oh,

Speaker 1: I just want more of them. Yeah, they it's it's
Speaker 1: an amazing It's like Christian rock was not as good
Speaker 1: as regular rock, but Christian TikTok is like somehow better
Speaker 1: than it's all forms of social media. Well because you
Speaker 1: know the Christians love of production. Yeah, and they're not
Speaker 1: they're not doing them now because of so they have
Speaker 1: to take that out somewhere because they I mean they
Speaker 1: took they took the secular and made it sexy, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Hell yeah, Rather it's not secular,
