Speaker 1: you know how when you take too much like your
Speaker 1: face tangles, dude, I very I had a very short
Speaker 1: run of pre workout and like using protein shakes and
Speaker 1: ship because they've wrecked me either. Gosh, ron test only
Speaker 1: or psychologically where I was like, I'm emotionally wrecked and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ready for it, so I think I'm making
Speaker 1: bad decisions. I was like, I could handle this work out.
Speaker 1: It's not just caffeine. It's like BC double as. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, okay, I mean that's what
Speaker 1: it felt like. I went when I started using it,
Speaker 1: because my homeboy was like doing a lot of multi
Speaker 1: ship and he's like, Yo, this is what they take it.
Speaker 1: You should try this. And I was like okay, like
Speaker 1: not knowing what the funk I was doing, and then
Speaker 1: I was just like, yo, it's my heart and just
Speaker 1: my I feel like I could feel my blood circulating
Speaker 1: with every heartbeat. I feel every drop of the blood
Speaker 1: and my body seriously like I've become one with my blood.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm ready to podcast. I was like,
Speaker 1: why am I being so aggressive today? Oh? Did you
Speaker 1: take it? You work out right before you started recording?
Speaker 1: I take it right before late day. My body is jacked,
Speaker 1: my body is saking us. I'm also excited to tell
Speaker 1: you about my search history. Amazing. We're going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better. In a moment first,
Speaker 1: a couple of things we're talking about. Uh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about crime stats and just the bullshittedness of the
Speaker 1: whole narrative around crime being out of control in the US.
Speaker 1: Right now, we might even get into a couple of
Speaker 1: stories of the police being incredibly bad at their job,
Speaker 1: which is why they need those terrible crime stats to
Speaker 1: offset the objectively horrific performance of police right the to
Speaker 1: the two sides of policing in the US. And then
Speaker 1: I think we might have to talk about Mario's voice.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see, but it's it's a mess.
Speaker 1: We also have a thing about man made minerals showing
Speaker 1: up on earth like before man made them. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll probably just go to Mario because the other one
Speaker 1: makes me feel cosmically insignificant and just, and Mario makes
Speaker 1: me feel like the center of attention. They took away
Speaker 1: his butt, They took away his butt, and way do
Speaker 1: you hear his voice? Anyway? Before we get to any
Speaker 1: of that bullshit, ever, I'm getting aggressive with you. Before
Speaker 1: we get to any of that. That's Jack's version. Bush.
Speaker 1: Let's let's find out what's something from your search history.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I came in too hot. This is
Speaker 1: my my my version of coming in too hot any
Speaker 1: of that ship. I'm really and listeners, I'm so sorry. Listen.
Speaker 1: You might have seen it's been a meme on the
Speaker 1: internet now about a woman talking about how Hocus Focus
Speaker 1: two can cast spells through your TV. I saw I
Speaker 1: saw the reaction videos where like a funny comedian was
Speaker 1: doing it, and I was I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is a good character. I did not know it was
Speaker 1: based on a real thing. Not only is this a
Speaker 1: real thing, but this is my homophobic brothers best friend
Speaker 1: and his wife's best friend and they're friends with her
Speaker 1: husband who's a cop. Well, I'm like, wow, So can
Speaker 1: we roll that beautiful being footage? I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're able to play the audio on this. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I was when you told me. When you told
Speaker 1: me about this, I was like, I definitely saw the
Speaker 1: headline about like Christian mom says hocus Pocus to will
Speaker 1: unleash hell upon your family, and I was like what
Speaker 1: and then promotes, Okay, here it goes so so here
Speaker 1: here This is the clip from local news k w
Speaker 1: t X, and this is their local story about this,
Speaker 1: And I think this is where the anchors just said
Speaker 1: a local mom is scared ship with the mother who
Speaker 1: got emotional over her concerns for other families and the
Speaker 1: media there because woman is incredibly homophobic. A worst case
Speaker 1: scenario is that you unleashed hell when your kids and
Speaker 1: in your home. Jamie Gooch is a mother of three
Speaker 1: family farms and Troy love everything to do with house
Speaker 1: and home. I believe everything starts that. Wait tell the package.
Speaker 1: There's going to be an amor can flags probably celebrated
Speaker 1: in their household, but Halloween is not her Nervously picking
Speaker 1: her finger fingers to darkness, Gooch says, there's a spiritual
Speaker 1: war being waged against homes in America and Hollywood. Is
Speaker 1: that is the worst. This is the worst I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in my particular Yeah. The b roll is two
Speaker 1: stripes of the American flag. Yeah, it's just such a
Speaker 1: tight shot. You're like, am I looking at a broken
Speaker 1: barber pole and they're doing a fade back into her. Yeah. Crosses.
Speaker 1: The whole movie is based on, which is harvesting children
Speaker 1: for blood sacrifices in a recent thing. Okay, right, so
Speaker 1: they all the all the fictional stuff since the first
Speaker 1: Hocus pocus all the fictional Wait wait wait, wait, can
Speaker 1: we go back to that screen? Ye want me to Facebook?
Speaker 1: Go back to that screen because I've never noticed this.
Speaker 1: They briefly show this woman's post. I want to see
Speaker 1: what the other tabs are open outlook Google, Amazon? Oh
Speaker 1: wait wait wait, look at the top. See I thought.
Speaker 1: I was like, hang on, I want to see what
Speaker 1: these things? You want to see the air table. Oh,
Speaker 1: I better submit this ad. Whoop, thanks for reminding me.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, we're looking into Jones.
Speaker 1: This is so unexpected. Honestly, I was like, when I
Speaker 1: try to explain my brother and the way he like
Speaker 1: talks and things, she just did it for me. And
Speaker 1: now it's all over the internet, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I know a celebrity, and I'm a little pissed that
Speaker 1: I'm not a celebrity. Well you're, well, you will have
Speaker 1: much more meaningful celebrity than the person who gets to
Speaker 1: feel like one of the local story slots in a
Speaker 1: panic for the local news producer like viral now baby,
Speaker 1: Well yeah, because right now I think this is the
Speaker 1: easiest thing to get, Like, you know, if you want
Speaker 1: to shoot yourself into the celebrity sphere on the right wing,
Speaker 1: just be a concerned Christian and find like the wildest
Speaker 1: take and say it with a serious face, and they're like,
Speaker 1: you'll get get them on camera, get him on camera.
Speaker 1: The speed with which she went to and the ease
Speaker 1: with which the blood sacrifices is I doon't believe that
Speaker 1: she said those words blood sacrifice. That is, they are
Speaker 1: now fully steeped in the satanic panic thing again. They
Speaker 1: really think that's what we're up to out here in California.
Speaker 1: They yeah, they they're just completely bought in. It would
Speaker 1: be like if suddenly an entire swath of the country
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, just thought vampires were real.
Speaker 1: Thought thought that, you know, liberals were all vampires, which
Speaker 1: you know, I guess that they Yeah, we're out here,
Speaker 1: We're out here, We're out you're getting what looking at
Speaker 1: that with our straw things. Look at that face. She's
Speaker 1: in shock about that whole hobby lobby vibe too. Oh yeah, man,
Speaker 1: well you know what I mean. Look, as much as
Speaker 1: we said and make fun, we do need people that
Speaker 1: are looking out for our salvation, you know, So don't
Speaker 1: don't unleash hell into your home. As this person fo yeah,
Speaker 1: local homophobe. It's like, are you are you? Are you
Speaker 1: a fucking scientist? Why are we listening to you? Because
Speaker 1: your take is satan gonna come at your TV if
Speaker 1: you put on Disney Plus, I need to know who
Speaker 1: at Casey and TV ten was like this is newsworthy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Was it in earnest or was it ironic? I guess
Speaker 1: if if the headline of the story had been people
Speaker 1: believe in witches like adult people look at this right,
Speaker 1: then that would have made sense. But they really treated it,
Speaker 1: like they really took her talking points seriously. In the
Speaker 1: story was like and she thinks Hollywood is like corrupting
Speaker 1: and showed the roll of an American flag as they did.
Speaker 1: I will say in two thousand sixteen and um, when
Speaker 1: I was visiting home, those news anchors were wearing red
Speaker 1: ties and red caps during election season. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: get it. It all clocks out. I'll just say like
Speaker 1: every time that the news could be objective and be
Speaker 1: like and this is all cap this is nonsense, They're
Speaker 1: like she believes like you know, like the very soft
Speaker 1: both sidesiness of this, like objectively, right, if you're going
Speaker 1: to write a story about how a person says, save
Speaker 1: your fucking kids from hocus focus too. You'd probably want
Speaker 1: to balance that out to be like, obviously, there's no
Speaker 1: evidence that anything like this could ever fucking happen, But
Speaker 1: I guess I would be in a front to God himself.
Speaker 1: But they said they qualified everything is she believes there's
Speaker 1: a spiritual war being waged against homes in America. And
Speaker 1: then a bunch of her quotes, and then it said
Speaker 1: while some have called her quote crazy or worse, Couch says,
Speaker 1: much of the feedback has been positive, so like they'll
Speaker 1: always pivot to be like, yeah, man, the normal thing
Speaker 1: is like, what the fund is this full talking about?
Speaker 1: But she said it's pretty chill. And there is one point.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that she has witnessed stuff happening.
Speaker 1: She has witnessed Satan manifest in her home. Oh, when
Speaker 1: her dad, when her husband gets off the shift. For yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, it's which season. There's another side of the
Speaker 1: Witch season coin I after Brandy came on, I mentioned
Speaker 1: it last week. You know, Brandy Posey came on talking
Speaker 1: about her twelve foot skeleton, mentioned that there was a
Speaker 1: twelve foot which decoration that you could go get went out,
Speaker 1: put it, put it up in my front lawn, and
Speaker 1: the amount of foot traffic and like cars stopping to
Speaker 1: take selfies with this witch witch decoration, Like it is
Speaker 1: the most rewarding thing I've ever done in Oh, you're
Speaker 1: fucking you're you're breaking next out there. Yeah, Like everybody's
Speaker 1: stopping like like whoa look at that? Like I heard
Speaker 1: a kid just shout from his car window. Dad, Look, Halloween,
Speaker 1: you better see some subversive quotes on that. So when
Speaker 1: people take pictures, they're like Google again, Google, what are
Speaker 1: these coordinates? Yeah? Anyways, which is And I love that
Speaker 1: it's scaring. This shout out to k w t X.
Speaker 1: They wrapped this article up with kWt X reached out
Speaker 1: to Disney's publicist for the movie, but it has not
Speaker 1: yet heard back. That didn't coming. That's what that fucking
Speaker 1: demons are going to come out of your fucking TV
Speaker 1: because you watched Bet Midler, Cathy no Jemie, and Sarah
Speaker 1: Jessica Parker put on a performance of performance. Yeah, m hmm,
Speaker 1: what ever is something you think is over? Did okay? Whatever?
Speaker 1: It's something I sounded like I was from Texas. Thing
Speaker 1: like fancy spicy chili peppers that like sauce, like hot
Speaker 1: sauce that comes in like really trendy jars like chili
Speaker 1: pepper stuff made by white people that are sold in
Speaker 1: like boutiques. I don't know how to explain it. I
Speaker 1: went to a little gift store and they were like
Speaker 1: chili paste, you know, like the jars of chili chili
Speaker 1: pepper sauce, chili oil, chili oil. It was clear. I
Speaker 1: don't know how. Maybe it's not made by white people,
Speaker 1: but I felt like they're appropriating spice culture. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they were selling it for twenty bucks. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not yeah, and the label looks like it
Speaker 1: was by like a Taylor Swift Cottage Core. I actually
Speaker 1: heard an album come now. I went to is D.
Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I have good design sense because
Speaker 1: Rhode Island School of Design. Is that a big deal?
Speaker 1: I just I evoke it because of wedding crashers. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Risty, that the brother who went to
Speaker 1: Risty And I know somebody who actually went there too,
Speaker 1: So I don't know what they talented or yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like it's not it's like yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like you gotta you, gotta you gotta have skills, you know,
Speaker 1: or make an arts center or cow arts for other
Speaker 1: people who are more interested. But yeah, I can. I
Speaker 1: definitely like when you see a mismatch, because like when
Speaker 1: I see hot sauce, I wanted to almost be like
Speaker 1: written on tape and then slapped on the bottom, like
Speaker 1: I'm selling this for like five bucks man the hottest
Speaker 1: shit I've ever made, and like great, great, I don't
Speaker 1: want it to be I want it to be hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, that is the one place I
Speaker 1: don't I don't mind the NASCAR esthetic, like if it
Speaker 1: looks like it was designed by somebody at a NASCAR. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But there's a new barbecue spot. There's a new barbecue
Speaker 1: spot where well I'm riled up. Okay, I know you
Speaker 1: just did. Today there's a guy smoking like treso and
Speaker 1: other sausages and ribs, and I passed it on the
Speaker 1: way home from the gym, and I'm like, I'm getting

Speaker 1: maybe work with a trainer. Your form is really going
Speaker 1: to prove your back braces. You're using it as a
Speaker 1: leg brace. Oh that's what it's for. Alright, just Arnica
Speaker 1: all over my body. Just get into an Arnica Joe bath.

Speaker 1: straight up. I will say I had Dukes mayonnaise for
Speaker 1: the first time months ago, and I used to never
Speaker 1: like mayonnaise changed my life. I think this was your
Speaker 1: underrated last time. And okay, well I think that's fine
Speaker 1: because we forgot. I've not I've I've not forgotten since
Speaker 1: you've said that or whenever it came up, and like
Speaker 1: a coward, I have not bought it yet because I
Speaker 1: think now they're fully reaching, like national distribution, because it
Speaker 1: used to be like a East Coast Southeast thing, right
Speaker 1: I think so yeah, or at least people who are like,
Speaker 1: was it maybe Yamagucci man who was like, oh, we
Speaker 1: know that ship in like North Carolina from it's from
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Okay, that makes sense. M D. You know

Speaker 1: just like your new pre workout. It's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta get these gotta get these calves greased up with
Speaker 1: some Duke's man names before I start doing. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: that's my protein and take During the workout, They're like,
Speaker 1: find me someone just pure fat like this funk? Are
Speaker 1: you looking at man? First time somebody worked out? Your
Speaker 1: your first time at the gym? Are you gonna sit out?
Speaker 1: Are you going to rotate out? Or what? Ahead? Keep

Speaker 1: because some of us are trying to work in her
Speaker 1: shot shot. I'm sorry, my eating a bunch of mayonnaise
Speaker 1: with a wooden spoon ruined your content protein. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: it isn't is not. What part of it do you
Speaker 1: think it's protein? Eggs? It's like egg egg sauce. What
Speaker 1: what are you putting dukes on? These days? Honestly, these
Speaker 1: days I started. My friend put it on a hatch
Speaker 1: chili pepper hamburger. It was so good. Now I've been
Speaker 1: making it's called like gouchang sauce. It's a chili pepper sauce.
Speaker 1: I might be butchering. The name is it cream? No,
Speaker 1: it's red. There's it's a red you. It's usually found
Speaker 1: like in like I buy it in Little Tokyo at
Speaker 1: the Little Tokyo market. It m M yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So you make mal What what I do is I
Speaker 1: make like a meal. You put a little butter in
Speaker 1: it so it gets to be a sauce. Cook brussels
Speaker 1: sprout to like steak or whatever I wanted it. And
Speaker 1: then I had a little mayo on top. So yeah,
Speaker 1: sort of like that. But it's pretty nice as a
Speaker 1: little creamy texture to it. Okay, and then you know
Speaker 1: protein powder pre workout, mayonnaise, protein powder over it. Get
Speaker 1: to make dump a thirty two jar of dukes in there,
Speaker 1: and ladies, I'm single, talk about parts like ever babe,
Speaker 1: like something else like goodness. When I said I was
Speaker 1: getting ten pounds of muscle, fucking meant bulk stage. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, this is this is important because you know
Speaker 1: we we said it here before, like you need to
Speaker 1: you need to tell people multiple times. And I think
Speaker 1: we need to keep telling us about dukes and before
Speaker 1: the next time you're on, I'm going to have a
Speaker 1: jar of dukes barrel. Another thing to do, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: another form of self care by yourself. Flowers? Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: what kind of flowers? Like ones that can last for
Speaker 1: a minute. I bought like ones that were like less bloomy.
Speaker 1: Exactly right. If you remembering to change the water, you
Speaker 1: don't need plant food, you just the water. That's true.
Speaker 1: That okay? Damn? Oh wow, there's chocolate cake, Duke's chocolate cake.
Speaker 1: What will they be making the cake with the fucking
Speaker 1: man name? Please just end me now, lord, let me
Speaker 1: eat this and no peace. All right, let's let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk crime stats,
Speaker 1: and we're back. And you know, one and a half
Speaker 1: cups in Mayo. Sorry, I said to add that when
Speaker 1: the half cups in Mayo and the Duke's chocolate cake
Speaker 1: mayonnaise cake, it's only got three and a half star rating?
Speaker 1: Is that young? I know someone of y'all had to
Speaker 1: have fund around and found out about this. Please let
Speaker 1: me know if it was fantastic. Okay, I'm sorry, back
Speaker 1: to back to back to not real life though, actually,
Speaker 1: because you know this is on the list with kids
Speaker 1: using litter boxes, Like what what else is on there?
Speaker 1: Like this hocus Pocus casting a spell on your family libraries,
Speaker 1: being the energetic conduit for satanic energy transfer, fencing al
Speaker 1: dusted Halloween candy. Although I love those tweets where people like, guys,
Speaker 1: you gotta check your kids candy and like that's that
Speaker 1: ship post format. Now it's like I looked into my
Speaker 1: kids snickers and it was Thursday night football. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this seems to be one of the more potent ones.
Speaker 1: One of the ones that I see getting taken the
Speaker 1: most seriously is that crimes out of control in American cities.
Speaker 1: The stats are there. Yeah, no, no, Miles, they're not
Speaker 1: actually wait are they? Though? Well that's the thing I mean.
Speaker 1: This has been a very potent tool for for conservatives
Speaker 1: for decades, being like fucking crime because most people don't
Speaker 1: know their neighbors or whatever, and it's easier to just
Speaker 1: believe shi on TV and be like, yes, the world
Speaker 1: is just unfathomably cruel and unusual and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of it too, especially in the last few years,
Speaker 1: is especially a backlash to the summer when the police
Speaker 1: had a big coming out party for non marginalized America
Speaker 1: who was very well aware of what the police were
Speaker 1: like and revealed themselves even further to be an overtly
Speaker 1: vine the group with military hand me downs. And if
Speaker 1: people talk about defunding the police, then the logic of
Speaker 1: the right has always been, well, that means total societal collapse,
Speaker 1: where thugs run cities and you'll get your achilles tendon
Speaker 1: slashed underneath your Mercedes because somebody put a little Lulu
Speaker 1: lemon bag under your front tire. That's a reference to
Speaker 1: that TikTok video. I don't know if you saw it,
Speaker 1: but that one were the woman's like, you gotta be careful,
Speaker 1: zip tie on your on your door handle. That means
Speaker 1: they've been spotting you. A napkin in your door handle,
Speaker 1: it's been drugged. Your hand could go numb. It's the
Speaker 1: most it's wild. Who's doing this. It's the eighties all
Speaker 1: over again. These are stories that were on the news
Speaker 1: in the eighties, like local news. Achilles slash is old. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so. I've never heard of this. Oh yeah, well
Speaker 1: this has been like a huge I hate yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll slash this is like a thing from talking about
Speaker 1: who's fitting under a car these days. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know just the logical. So one of these
Speaker 1: that I saw because uh former guests Jason Pardon was
Speaker 1: talking about it on TikTok was they have these videos
Speaker 1: where people are like, look, I found the zip tie
Speaker 1: on my car door handle, and that means that they
Speaker 1: have marked me. I just want to like understand the logic,
Speaker 1: Like the story in their head is that are they
Speaker 1: like they can't keep track of all the people they've
Speaker 1: decided to know because and so they need to leave
Speaker 1: a zip tied to be like, oh right, right, that's
Speaker 1: like a bookmark for me. It's because these people have
Speaker 1: no they're so true crime brain brained that the only
Speaker 1: the most complex thought they can say is that traffickers
Speaker 1: and abductors work in the same way as like parking enforcement,
Speaker 1: Like where they chalked your tire, they're like, and the
Speaker 1: other one comes through and they chalk your tire to
Speaker 1: know you've been there for two hours or you're alone,
Speaker 1: and then the other they're constantly roving together. I don't
Speaker 1: know interest, but we digress. All that to say is
Speaker 1: there's plenty of material out there in the world to
Speaker 1: help you feel completely unsafe and things that the fucking
Speaker 1: walls are caving in. And we talked all the time
Speaker 1: too about just how journalists like open mouth and just
Speaker 1: quote unquote crime statistics like yeah and Casey and TV
Speaker 1: but no questions asked, and we faced me telling that
Speaker 1: story with an American flag on the screen. Right in
Speaker 1: l A and New York we see this a lot,
Speaker 1: like the New York Times. L A Times they love
Speaker 1: coming out with a like cops can barely hang on
Speaker 1: with all these crime waves Califuna, dude, But the fucking
Speaker 1: statistics don't add up at all. Yeah, murders rose in
Speaker 1: cities like during during the pandemic. I think people were like, well,
Speaker 1: it's pandemic, we're in lockdown. Murders shouldn't be going up.
Speaker 1: It must be the other big news story, you know,
Speaker 1: them defund the police and Democrats. But unfortunately for that thesis,
Speaker 1: murders rose and city nationwide and jurisdictions of all types.
Speaker 1: So relative to twenty nineteen, the number of murders jumped
Speaker 1: by more than thirty in the largest cities and by
Speaker 1: in places designated by the FBI suburbs. But they were
Speaker 1: up in rural areas, they were up everywhere, like just it.
Speaker 1: And they were up in cities run by Republicans just
Speaker 1: as much as cities run by Democrats. So the the
Speaker 1: whole idea that like they were up because democratic city
Speaker 1: leaders like defunded the police is just completely like, there's
Speaker 1: just nothing to that at all. Yeah, a family of
Speaker 1: four was just murdered in my hometown, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's happening everywhere. Yeah, I mean, and I think
Speaker 1: I want pre workout. I should not have said that
Speaker 1: so aggressively. Everywhere it is. But and the thing is, right,
Speaker 1: like we even when you compare those homicide rates, they're
Speaker 1: not they're not even close to what it was in
Speaker 1: the nineties. And also in that same time, overall crime
Speaker 1: fucking decreased. Okay, So then you say, fine, maybe in
Speaker 1: an onman, whatever, what about one? What about two? Well,
Speaker 1: here's a fun fact. The FBI publishes these crime stats
Speaker 1: every fall from like data that they sourced from local
Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies like sheriff's departments, police departments, etcetera. And
Speaker 1: when collecting data for one the FBI, they're saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, for this year, we're doing something different. We
Speaker 1: wanted to use a new system so we can get
Speaker 1: even more detailed data so we can properly like analyze
Speaker 1: trends or whatever. However, a lot of the localities haven't
Speaker 1: switched over to this new system yet. This is from
Speaker 1: this mother Jones article. I want to read you that
Speaker 1: they're same quote. As a result, the FEDS only gathered
Speaker 1: information from loss law enforcement agencies representing just six of
Speaker 1: the U S population, compared with around in prior years,
Speaker 1: rendering the latest estimates pretty meaningless in most instances. The
Speaker 1: f b I wrote in a summary published this week. Quote,
Speaker 1: the data do not meet the criteria for statistical significance.
Speaker 1: New York City in Los Angeles, the two biggest cities
Speaker 1: by population, were among those that didn't submit their information
Speaker 1: to the FEDS. According to the Marshall Project, neither did
Speaker 1: most agencies in California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida,
Speaker 1: some of the most populous states. They are covering something
Speaker 1: up so that they can continue a bullshit narrative that
Speaker 1: serves their needs. Yeah, it's or at the very least, right,
Speaker 1: it sounds like incomplete data. It sounds like a statistical
Speaker 1: blind spot. If you want to go around waving ship
Speaker 1: in the air and be like it's a fucking crime wave,
Speaker 1: well fucking pull up with facts. Don't just pull up
Speaker 1: with fucking sentiment that someone is feeding you because they
Speaker 1: feel that their budgets are under threat because they don't
Speaker 1: know how to treat people humanely. Yeah, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just want to play this ad right. This is
Speaker 1: from the New York Governors Sorry, well, okay, that's that's
Speaker 1: what we need. Let me play this ad though, from
Speaker 1: the New York Governor's race. Lee's Elden is out here
Speaker 1: painting the wildest pictures of New York as he runs
Speaker 1: against Governor Hockel. And I'm just gonna play this right
Speaker 1: now so you can kind of get an idea of
Speaker 1: how aggressive the fucking like rhetoric and visuals are too
Speaker 1: to see it in people's minds that they live in
Speaker 1: this fucked up hellscape. And so this ad is called
Speaker 1: take Back our Streets, and under the narration you're going
Speaker 1: to basically what's playing is like violent terrible crimes like
Speaker 1: on like CCTV cameras happening. There's no question that the
Speaker 1: spear is really the old guy getting knocked out. There's
Speaker 1: a shooting in the street. You're looking at actual violent
Speaker 1: crimes caught on camera in Cathy's New York, and it's
Speaker 1: getting much worse on at the Hoco's Watch November and
Speaker 1: vote like your life to people fucking looting Lisa for
Speaker 1: governor because it's time our families feel safe again. Okay,
Speaker 1: some of this stuff was clearly staged, but some of
Speaker 1: it was incredible to see. Just the chaos. Dude, the
Speaker 1: first one they start off with this old dude just
Speaker 1: getting fucking knocked out. You're like so old. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: you look at that clip and you go holy shit,
Speaker 1: Like that was straight up these people have lost their
Speaker 1: minds and people fighting at the grocery store people fight
Speaker 1: an effective political ad because it does line up with
Speaker 1: one off videos that go viral that you might see
Speaker 1: to be like, why, oh yeah, I remember something like that.
Speaker 1: Now is that happening every single day to millions upon
Speaker 1: millions of people? No, but I get that. You go,
Speaker 1: you take the most sensational and spin that into someone's reality.
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, though his campaign admitted that fucking half of
Speaker 1: the footage in that commercial was even but from before
Speaker 1: Hocal was governor. So while this ship of like locals
Speaker 1: New York, that half of the clips were sucking from before.
Speaker 1: So they were just using that colloquially, like being like
Speaker 1: it's her New York man were living in Italy because
Speaker 1: you see, what happened just happened in New York maybe
Speaker 1: two years ago, but like that was already done, like
Speaker 1: anybody who was already seen. One of the other clips
Speaker 1: was from fucking Oakland. Like, so the lengths these politicians
Speaker 1: try to go to convince you that the ship you
Speaker 1: are seeing or isn't happening or is happening is is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And not to mention that they've spent something like two
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars already in the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: just trying to get like just to really feed this
Speaker 1: ship on like and ads is pretty telling. And it's
Speaker 1: one of the same reasons why Oz is tightening the
Speaker 1: race against Jon Fetterman too. He's going back to this
Speaker 1: crime thing. And yes, doctor Oz, there was an art
Speaker 1: saying that because you just wants to always address him
Speaker 1: as doctor put some respect on his name. Well I
Speaker 1: forgot that he was running. Yeah yeah. And in the
Speaker 1: Daily Beast, this this person wrote an article just in
Speaker 1: the second sentence or like third or second paragraphs just
Speaker 1: being like, you know, with crime going up every nearly
Speaker 1: everywhere nationwide, it's no real it's no wonder why OZ
Speaker 1: would m something to that effect, where it's like you're
Speaker 1: even in this ad where you're presumably writing a hotbed
Speaker 1: to try and motivate Democrats to vote by saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: they've got a potent way of getting people to vote,
Speaker 1: you better vote to You're just gonna keep saying this
Speaker 1: ship of like everybody knows. Yeah, I don't know where
Speaker 1: is that data at, like because everything else fucking says otherwise. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's seems like this would be a fairly
Speaker 1: straight like the fact that murders were up during the
Speaker 1: pandemic and in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, Like
Speaker 1: here are the other things that are up. Gun ownership
Speaker 1: is alcohol consumption is way up. The economy is way
Speaker 1: the funk down, Like the economy ship the bed because
Speaker 1: we're in a pandemic and they tried to treat it
Speaker 1: by giving people a small, one time check. So people
Speaker 1: like these are all things we know lead to desperation,
Speaker 1: and you know the circumstances that lead to crime. The
Speaker 1: only thing that when they've been looking into this to
Speaker 1: see because the two narratives I've heard the most, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's every mainstream media, whether it's
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast to the local news or you know,
Speaker 1: the l A Times, they're all saying that it is
Speaker 1: caused by defund the police movement, which never happened. No
Speaker 1: police was ever defunded like significantly. And also they're blaming
Speaker 1: progressive district attorneys and those have both been statistically ruled
Speaker 1: out like they're they have looked at the statistics, the
Speaker 1: crime statistics. When a progressive d A comes to office
Speaker 1: in a city, the crime actually either goes down or
Speaker 1: stays the same. There's no significant connection, a statistically significant
Speaker 1: connection at all. It's completely fabricated. It's a completely political
Speaker 1: statement that is motivated to make people afraid. But the
Speaker 1: thing that gun ownership, you can't blame that because that
Speaker 1: makes people money. Alcohol consumption, you can't blame that because
Speaker 1: that makes people money, the economy, shooting the bed and
Speaker 1: like just a one time pandemic check, Like we just
Speaker 1: those one and two pandemic checks were like America had
Speaker 1: a fucking allergic reaction to people getting free money. So
Speaker 1: you can't like point that out, and so you just
Speaker 1: go back to these spremacies. Yeah, you got back toward suremacy.
Speaker 1: Oh these people want the police to find in it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's what. The one defunded thing that seems to
Speaker 1: be making a significant difference and where they seem to
Speaker 1: have like a statistical connection is social programs, like programs
Speaker 1: that are focused on creating programs that give people things
Speaker 1: to do besides violence, and you know, community action. Like
Speaker 1: those sorts of things were defunded during the pandemic and
Speaker 1: they haven't come back, and yet those things work. We've
Speaker 1: seen those things work repeatedly. But because it's America that
Speaker 1: just gets fucking ignored, you don't even hear about them
Speaker 1: when they do work, and then they just get defunded.
Speaker 1: They're the first thing to get defunded. So that's why,
Speaker 1: like in any saying society, that is the obvious explanation,
Speaker 1: Like all those factors are obvious reasons why you know,
Speaker 1: some crimes would be up and they get completely ignored
Speaker 1: and turned into a right wing talking point instead. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, oh, this house burned down with
Speaker 1: that had a puddle of kerosene and a live electrical
Speaker 1: wire flying around next to it. I wonder what happened.
Speaker 1: I think they defunded the police. I'm sorry, you could
Speaker 1: have looked right there. Okay, never mind, It's just wild
Speaker 1: because like in medicine, right, we know, preventative medicine is
Speaker 1: like the key to living a longer healthy life, like
Speaker 1: to have maximum health, just to check in with the exactly. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on now, don't let me. I want to do
Speaker 1: that pivot. I was gonna be that pivot way better
Speaker 1: down there now. Doctors like all like they all, they
Speaker 1: tell us this because their mandate as doctors is to
Speaker 1: fucking study illnesses and tell us how to live healthily.
Speaker 1: That's why we I got it. Okay, let's put a
Speaker 1: pen on this, because I gotta come back to something. Okay,
Speaker 1: And and I'm speaking broadly right, because I've have many
Speaker 1: gripes with with our medical system as it is, even
Speaker 1: as it released to my own family. But you would
Speaker 1: never go to a doct dirt that always said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: call me up when ship gets bad. I don't know
Speaker 1: why you want me to like check up on ship.
Speaker 1: Just call me up when it gets so bad you
Speaker 1: need medical assistance, rather than how can I figure out
Speaker 1: ways to sustain someone's health? And it's important to look
Speaker 1: at the language too. With cops, right, they're called law enforcement,
Speaker 1: they're not called guardians of our public safety. Although they
Speaker 1: say serve and protect on the cars, they were actually
Speaker 1: about keeping us safe. Their mantra wouldn't be call us
Speaker 1: when ship gets bad, it would be what if we are?
Speaker 1: Actually what we are? The whole point of this is
Speaker 1: to prioritize safety, analyze things, and look at what the
Speaker 1: causes are so we can keep people safe. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have something that's gonna break your heart. Please two things.
Speaker 1: One thing serve and protect reminded me of this. I
Speaker 1: bought a new car heart sweater m Who doesn't love
Speaker 1: a nice car heart, especially national coming out day lesbians?
Speaker 1: We love it. I ripped the tag off and it's
Speaker 1: a it's car hard to serve and protect the working
Speaker 1: person or something like that. I don't, but I was
Speaker 1: like card brand, this card co cop brand. Have I
Speaker 1: been deceived? Remember they piste off all the fucking the
Speaker 1: right wing people. Well they did, yeah, because they were
Speaker 1: they were like, yo, y'all need to get COVID vaccines.
Speaker 1: They're like, I'm burning this ship. Well they better, they
Speaker 1: better to take a second look at that, at that slogan,
Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean, I mean they were hoping that
Speaker 1: you would feel like get the warm and fuzzies from that.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean again, like that's why it's
Speaker 1: just like, if you want to take up for if
Speaker 1: you want people to take you seriously, if you're actually
Speaker 1: talking about safety and safety is the concern and crime
Speaker 1: and all this ship, then what the funk are you
Speaker 1: doing to prevent it? Not calm me up when ship
Speaker 1: gets bad, I want the we're trying to prevent this
Speaker 1: ship from the first place. But again, I think this
Speaker 1: is where this sort of metaphor overlaps with medicine, because
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just simply not profitable for profitable to cure
Speaker 1: an illness. And that's kind of I think where we
Speaker 1: find ourselves like sort of just repeatedly being like but
Speaker 1: I think that the confusion I think still like cycles
Speaker 1: over and over again for those of us who might
Speaker 1: not have fully grasped, you know, kind of how this
Speaker 1: all works and what it's intended to actually serve and protect.
Speaker 1: When I was diagnosed, so, I have frontal lobe seizures
Speaker 1: and it's not like to describe. It feels like dejabu.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever talked about it with
Speaker 1: you all, but I get like aura's like I'm still
Speaker 1: like conscious and my body doesn't shake, but I don't
Speaker 1: feel like a sneeze is coming on or like and
Speaker 1: then I'll get massive headache sometimes like they're rolling. And
Speaker 1: I had like m r S and I couldn't figure
Speaker 1: out and I was like, I guess I'm psychic, you know,
Speaker 1: like talking about it, I was like I almost start
Speaker 1: talking people money. And I finally saw a neurologist who
Speaker 1: knew what it was. I was like, oh great, he
Speaker 1: put me on this medicine. He was talking to me
Speaker 1: about an hour about what I'm finally on now, which
Speaker 1: is limctical about the joys of limits, like how it
Speaker 1: could really help me. It could also help anxiety and
Speaker 1: depression that was also caused by front lope seizures, and
Speaker 1: I was like great, And then instead of prescribing me
Speaker 1: that he prescribed this. Oh my god, it's like an
Speaker 1: intense it's for people that have like grand Mall seizures
Speaker 1: or like seizures where they shake and they can't operate
Speaker 1: motorized vehicles. Um, I forgot what it's but it's like
Speaker 1: an intense medication. And I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: that I need that. Like these happened like I mean,
Speaker 1: they're not consistent. It's like a couple of times a month,
Speaker 1: or it happens when I'm stressed and he put me
Speaker 1: on it. I didn't take it for like months, and
Speaker 1: then I finally did, and I felt like I wasn't
Speaker 1: making rational decisions. I wasn't feeling like myself. It was
Speaker 1: like this is not for me, like my I was
Speaker 1: so irritable and like thing. I was like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: going to stop this. Immediately, I called him up. We
Speaker 1: have another conversation. It's like an hour and a half again,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think I really like to try
Speaker 1: limit to call. I think I'd really like to get
Speaker 1: on that. And he's talking to me about it. He's like, great,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna prescribe that. And he goes, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of free samples of this and
Speaker 1: he was pushing sam and I was like the same one. No,
Speaker 1: it was another drug, but basically drug companies like yeah,
Speaker 1: push samples, and I was like, I can never trust
Speaker 1: this man again. Instead, I went to a therapist who
Speaker 1: recommended me to a psychologist and I got let me
Speaker 1: to call in my life has been samples of this,
Speaker 1: which is something I've been noodling on in the lab. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like prietary drug that there was for headaches, yeah,
Speaker 1: little yellow yeah, persill were I forgot that, like the
Speaker 1: name brand of the drug. But I was like, how
Speaker 1: dare you well it's wild too that you like you said.
Speaker 1: The flow of the conversation was this thing I ink
Speaker 1: would be great for you. However that's not the one
Speaker 1: I'm going to prescribe to you. Like yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: forget this. This sucks. Yeah. There are a ton of
Speaker 1: bad doctors and medical industry. Is no, I don't trust them.
Speaker 1: I also don't discriminatory. Yeah yeah, I think myle like
Speaker 1: when you're like, oh the family reasons like same with mine. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I just had a cousin passed away, man, and it's
Speaker 1: really frustrating. She she the doctors told her she have fibroids.
Speaker 1: For the longest time, it wasn't answer, yeah it was,
Speaker 1: and it was. By the time they diagnosed it, it it
Speaker 1: was stage four and there was nothing they could do,
Speaker 1: nothing they could do, and You're just You're like, how
Speaker 1: are we That's a whole separate conversation. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm still, you know, grieving that loss, but I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry you there are times where you're like, I don't
Speaker 1: what is what what is this thing doing for us? Really?
Speaker 1: If people can fall through the cracks like that, and
Speaker 1: I get you know, there's a million one reasons for that.
Speaker 1: All that to say is when it comes down to
Speaker 1: like keeping us safe and healthy, like you have to
Speaker 1: really look for the people that are actually putting that
Speaker 1: the front of their mind and saying, well, this is
Speaker 1: actually the way to do something, this is the way
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, this is how we can actually prevent
Speaker 1: crime by supporting people and not maybe denying people who
Speaker 1: are having like issues, especially for women's health, and being
Speaker 1: like that's something else, something else, something else, But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's that's a whole separate thing. And shout out to
Speaker 1: people that covered from me while I was gone. The
Speaker 1: last couple of days. But yeah, I'm so sorry. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's shitty, you know. But this is
Speaker 1: part and parcel. This is I'm this. My family is
Speaker 1: not alone. People's families are not alone. And this this
Speaker 1: happens a lot, especially with women of color, women in general,
Speaker 1: anybody like people. If it's just it's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of disparity going on around us for sure. Yeah. A
Speaker 1: doctor who in my mother's life in a surgeon similar thing.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, it's yeah, okaykut, give me that pre workout.
Speaker 1: I'm going to barbecue and I'm going to think about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. Drop a pin for that a lot leg day.
Speaker 1: Now my feelings go in my legs. Yeah, exactly right. Right.
Speaker 1: My my therapist is actually my peloton instructor. That's it
Speaker 1: really helps me. It's actually Tunday on Peloton. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and I do I do want to
Speaker 1: just give the Internet it's flowers. The Internet is bad
Speaker 1: and a lot of stuff. They're they're not going to
Speaker 1: rewrite your Star Wars movie be for you and do
Speaker 1: a good job. They're not going to just have good
Speaker 1: overall takes on whether a movie is good or not,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to, you know, people having insecurities
Speaker 1: around the stories. They're just they're not reliable when it
Speaker 1: comes to large scale like understanding. But when it comes
Speaker 1: to just acting as history's largest like focus group, when
Speaker 1: it comes to just like a small, gut reaction, immediate thing,
Speaker 1: they kind of nail it. Sometimes they nailed it with
Speaker 1: Sonics eyes. You know, Sonics eyes were unsettling, and they
Speaker 1: did said, they said, give them goggle eyes again. The
Speaker 1: movie stopped productor ors you know, canceled their planned launch
Speaker 1: date and fixed his eyes like towards what the what
Speaker 1: the internet asked for, and it worked much better. It
Speaker 1: was a massive hit. The movie. It's not great, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's much better than it would have
Speaker 1: been with his weird eyes and teeth. And they also
Speaker 1: had an instinct about Mario's voice when they heard that
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt Who's going to be doing Mario's voice, And
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt is essentially a cop and Chris Pratt, I
Speaker 1: do wonder, like, you know, how much of this backlash
Speaker 1: is because America's like, well, for so there's a couple
Speaker 1: of things. He's a cop, Like, that's just his spirit
Speaker 1: deep down, he's a cop. He like when I picture him,
Speaker 1: he's in a police uniform, even though I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever seen him in a police uniform. That's but
Speaker 1: he's like a cop who would be like, what do
Speaker 1: you guys smoking weed? And he'd grab your blunt and
Speaker 1: pretend to smoke scumbags exactly, Well, he did do a joke.
Speaker 1: He was also like, so he was the star of
Speaker 1: what might have been the worst movie that was seen
Speaker 1: by the most people, the last Jurassic Park movie, because
Speaker 1: that was a massive hit, and I don't know one
Speaker 1: person who liked it, Like I know many people you
Speaker 1: say it's the worst movie they've ever seen. I know
Speaker 1: like multiple people who say it's the worst movie they've
Speaker 1: ever seen. So anytime you have that overlap of like
Speaker 1: everyone saw that ship and nobody liked it, you're going
Speaker 1: to get some ill will. So those are two things
Speaker 1: that could be going on in the background. But I
Speaker 1: was inclined to be like this, this doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: a fit. But let's see, like, maybe this guy is
Speaker 1: a voice talent and and we would be here. Let's
Speaker 1: hear let's just hear the part in the teaser when
Speaker 1: it comes like a minute and a half in where
Speaker 1: you see Bowser. I like everything up to this point.
Speaker 1: By the way, the trailer seems fun, like they're getting
Speaker 1: like the comedy beats are working for me. And it
Speaker 1: sounds requisitely grouchy. Bowser sounds like you would expect Bowser
Speaker 1: to sound and as Jack Black doing. But Jack Black
Speaker 1: is doing a voice. He's not like just being Jack Black.
Speaker 1: Mario to like, he's yeah, yeah, okay. So let's let's
Speaker 1: hear what Chris Pratt has come up with for Mario.
Speaker 1: A iconic carrot, like a true icon of pop culture
Speaker 1: with an iconic voice. Let's hear an iconic characature of
Speaker 1: a voice. Here we go, Yeah, lands on a mushroom, okay, groaning, Yeah,
Speaker 1: seeing the world around a lot of mushrooms. What is
Speaker 1: this place? Mario? So just that okay, another cartoon voice.
Speaker 1: That one's perfectly fine. Okay, Okay, now wait we got here,
Speaker 1: we come there. Those are the two chances we get
Speaker 1: to listen to his voice. I'm I'm assuming that his
Speaker 1: inspiration because people people reacted negatively and he was like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna when you hear this movie. When you see
Speaker 1: this movie, you're gonna hear a voice that is unlike
Speaker 1: anything you've ever heard in the universe of Mario. And
Speaker 1: by that he meant you've never just heard like some
Speaker 1: guy just like that is the voice. Like if somebody
Speaker 1: just that's the voice I would come up with if
Speaker 1: somebody was like just be some guy, Like if if
Speaker 1: someone handed me a already ringing phone and was like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you say you're my dad and like tell the
Speaker 1: principle I can't come to school that day, like that, Hello, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is Miles dad. He's too sick to come to
Speaker 1: school today. What is this place? Because yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't think I told people I try to get
Speaker 1: out of a chemistry test on hind leven because I
Speaker 1: didn't study and everybody wasn't even early and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta go to before this test. Sorry, I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to mean the the significance that day. But it's honestly,
Speaker 1: it's infuriating because you look at like it's a cartoon.
Speaker 1: Because and voice acting is like a fucking art form.
Speaker 1: When you are not to be the physical presence, you
Speaker 1: gotta also get like you're giving your voice to it
Speaker 1: and just to be like, hey, whoa remember before He's like, man,
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna be ready for my fucking Mario voice.
Speaker 1: You're right because you didn't do ship at all. You
Speaker 1: didn't put any effort into it, so we didn't expect that.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I feel like I don't know
Speaker 1: if this helps or hinders it. But when you look
Speaker 1: at Mario, you're expecting to hear that high pitched voice
Speaker 1: like I could have seen if they had gone with
Speaker 1: if they had had Jared Leto's character from the House
Speaker 1: of Gucci do the voice like Lady Gaga even but
Speaker 1: it's gotta be it's gotta be cartoonish, over the top.
Speaker 1: And I know he didn't make that choice because he
Speaker 1: was like the other version of defensive to Italian people,
Speaker 1: maybe cast an Italian man. Yeah what if? What if that?
Speaker 1: But so that mainstream media is reacting like this is
Speaker 1: some nerd ship for their like hardcore Mario fans are pissed,
Speaker 1: But I'm not like a hardcore fan. I am familiar
Speaker 1: with Mario because he is iconic and I care about
Speaker 1: pop culture, but I'm not like it would be like
Speaker 1: having Mickey Male's voiced by a hungover Bruce Willis like that,
Speaker 1: I would love that. Well, that would be a choice,
Speaker 1: though I guess it's not like that, because that would
Speaker 1: at least be a choice. This is a non choice
Speaker 1: like Blockbuster Middle of the Road hedge that I can't
Speaker 1: imagine not hurting the movie because it's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like if someone someone put together all the
Speaker 1: other like the dubbed versions, like the French trailer, the
Speaker 1: Italian trailer, and the German trailer, just to compare what
Speaker 1: voice acting ship we got. It's interesting to hear. So
Speaker 1: this is we've heard the English one. This is the
Speaker 1: French one. Their scream that what's good? Why I'm shoving y'all?
Speaker 1: See the French one sounds like Mario. Is the Italian one.
Speaker 1: Here's the Italian one, Corset crystal post. Oh my god, yes,
Speaker 1: I would take that all day. The French and the
Speaker 1: Italian are nailing it full like Cinema. Get back in
Speaker 1: the labs, sir. That is is it inexcusable? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I don't. I don't know. There's like I'll watch
Speaker 1: the dubbed Italian one. I'll tell you all that much
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I don't understand. Like again, I don't know
Speaker 1: why the people who are like going hard, You're like, honestly,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to like handle a whole movie
Speaker 1: with the guy's voice like that. It's like people have
Speaker 1: been playing games with this fucker's voice for longer than
Speaker 1: I've been alive. But whatever, I don't Again, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: Like you, I'm like, I'm not the biggest Mario fan,
Speaker 1: like where I'm like up on every single Nintendo thing,
Speaker 1: but there's just such a there's like a disconnect. It
Speaker 1: would be like watching like this Big Bird biopick or
Speaker 1: something and like Homie and you're like, what the fuck,
Speaker 1: Like that's not Big Bird, Like that's not there's a
Speaker 1: mismatch there, and I don't care who the fucking celebrity
Speaker 1: de jure is. That's and like I actually don't, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't so I didn't see the latest Drassic Park movie,
Speaker 1: so I'm not like I don't. I don't have that bias.
Speaker 1: I actually watched the Chris Pratt movie about time traveling
Speaker 1: aliens because it was like mid pandemic and everyone was
Speaker 1: watching it. And my takeaway was like I get the
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt thing, like I get weird vibes from him
Speaker 1: in person, but like as a movie star, he has
Speaker 1: charisma that makes him easy to watch it and do
Speaker 1: stuff like. I'm not a I'm not a Chris Pratt
Speaker 1: hater in theory. It's just in this this, this choice
Speaker 1: is so bad. It is askless both in the Mario
Speaker 1: is askless and character design, and there's just no ass
Speaker 1: in his voice either. What they took the full ass.
Speaker 1: I know you were really concerned about Mario's lack of ass.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the one thing I remember your gob smack.
Speaker 1: I'm gobsmacked that no ass, And honestly it fits Chris Pratt.
Speaker 1: No ass. That guy have an as. Yeah, that guy
Speaker 1: has worked. Look at that as to get rid of
Speaker 1: his ass. Look juicy, that's a juicy ass. He had
Speaker 1: a juicy butt and then he's got the he gott
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, Mario. You changed? He needs ass, Like,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna go realistic. It's like our Lola Bunny.
Speaker 1: Now we're like, what happened. They're gonna go realistic on
Speaker 1: his voice, but they're not going to give him the
Speaker 1: type of ass that could do what Mario does. Jumps,
Speaker 1: he bounces, he creates smaller earthquakes with that ass like
Speaker 1: this is you got a dumper. Yeah, they're just turning
Speaker 1: him into yeah, just like an average mediocre it's a depressing,
Speaker 1: it's a depressing But to look, I think that's the problem.
Speaker 1: You could have made it normally. They actually it's almost
Speaker 1: like they went out of their way to be like, no,
Speaker 1: but yeah, looking fucking Larry long Back over here, Like, man,
Speaker 1: I've never heard that Larry long But I like that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: take that long you know, but just no long backs?
Speaker 1: He's Scott. Look, I don't know. I don't know. Is
Speaker 1: Larry long back of thing? You just it? Provisor? Is
Speaker 1: that a thing? No long back is like people say
Speaker 1: that but having no but wow, I've never heard that.
Speaker 1: I can't. I just a free workouts world of language.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I I They're they're doing a lot. And
Speaker 1: what's wild is too the fucking trailer looks fucking amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm stoked it's wild. I'm like, Yo, this ship looks
Speaker 1: dope except for the fucking main character's voice that I
Speaker 1: cannot fucking get with. Yeah, is Luigi gonna be in it?
Speaker 1: Luigi's in it. That's the trailer. Luigi also Chris Pratt,
Speaker 1: Chris Prett and Chris Pratt's Charlie. No, no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's Charlie thinks a great choice. Charlie has a great choice.
Speaker 1: You don't need a bland Hollywood leading man to be
Speaker 1: the voice of your thing, like you do a comedic
Speaker 1: like Patton Oswald was the voice of Rattatui. He wasn't
Speaker 1: like a massive star, but he was like a great
Speaker 1: fit for that voice, because yeah, like come on, I
Speaker 1: don't know, do you think they'll be like such an
Speaker 1: outrage that then Nintendo will be like, hey man, we
Speaker 1: got rid of fucking we got rid Chris Pratt y'all
Speaker 1: that we had celebrating that. Oh yeah, and then they'd
Speaker 1: be who's the guy Charles Martinett I think is the
Speaker 1: one who does the real the real voice, like we've
Speaker 1: we got him back. Really, wouldn't that be Christy? That
Speaker 1: would be incredible? Yeah, I mean there's a blend you
Speaker 1: can do between like that that. I hadn't heard the
Speaker 1: French and the Italian version, but those were like those
Speaker 1: weren't full Charles Martinett, Like no, but they said, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a Mario cartoon. Yeah, okay, say less not.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that was wild hot toad. We better get
Speaker 1: up on out of here, right, We're gonna have lunch, fella.
Speaker 1: I hope there's Duke's mayonnaise because I gotta work on
Speaker 1: this butt. Well. Ever as always a pleasure having you.
Speaker 1: Where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can find me across the internet at ever E
Speaker 1: V E. R. Maynard, M A I N A R
Speaker 1: D or my podcast at y'all gay. This is me
Speaker 1: and friend Allet's two Southern queers and we just shoot
Speaker 1: the ship and tell very fun stories and it's inappropriate. Um.
Speaker 1: If you think I'm inappropriate on this, um, yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: find me there. Amazing. Is there a tweet or some
Speaker 1: of the work of social media you've been enjoying. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've been enjoying it, but I've
Speaker 1: definitely been amplifying it. And that is the voices of
Speaker 1: the women and I ran right now and in the
Speaker 1: movement that's happening there. I think it's incredible. It's harrowing,
Speaker 1: it's incomprehensible, it's disgusting. What I try to explain it,
Speaker 1: and my voice goes nope, my body goes compartmentalized. I
Speaker 1: would say, support these women, and you know, I don't
Speaker 1: mean a rag, but like some of my friends are Persian.
Speaker 1: The whitest thing to say as a friend to Persian people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's important to amplify these voices. And and the
Speaker 1: women of our rand up said, just keep posting about
Speaker 1: what's happening here because even the country is like turning
Speaker 1: off the internet, it's not getting a lot of media coverage,
Speaker 1: and if it is, it's very biased or not talking
Speaker 1: about what. Yeah, it's like this is, this isn't what
Speaker 1: it's really happening. And instead children are getting slaughtered, teenagers
Speaker 1: are getting slaughtered, people are going missing. It's a genocide. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a full styre. It's a full
Speaker 1: scale attack on their own people who are quite literally
Speaker 1: just advocating for their own little bit of autonomy or equality. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's like when we were talking
Speaker 1: about the other day, it's like you, it's like you
Speaker 1: have like an omni sensation, like I feel fucking everything.
Speaker 1: I'm like proud, I'm I'm impressed, I'm deeply saddened. I
Speaker 1: feel shitty and powerless. But yeah, like you said, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: if you know, if we're just counting on like in
Speaker 1: America to keep the conversation going, they might as well
Speaker 1: think that nothing's happening there anymore. Yeah. You know the
