Speaker 1: it's around the corner. Did he call you? Did you
Speaker 1: say hey kid? By the way, sorry I'm eating apples
Speaker 1: with peanut butter. Look it was either he said hey kid,
Speaker 1: or how do you do the laser zoned? Kid? Or
Speaker 1: this is me like adding that texture because I was
Speaker 1: talking to Harrison Ford and in it he would be referring,
Speaker 1: I'm short round in this version because he's interacting with
Speaker 1: the Asian person, So there's a lot there are a
Speaker 1: lot of layers too. I think how I came up
Speaker 1: with that. I just feel he says, he opens every
Speaker 1: sentence like that is an opening or a punctuation to
Speaker 1: every sentence he says, or should be. What's a kid?
Speaker 1: A kid? Yeah? Anyway is Miles. We are thrilled to
Speaker 1: be joined in our third seat by a hilarious and
Speaker 1: town and comedian, podcaster and artist who hosted a classic podcast,
Speaker 1: Professor blast Off that was one of my first favorite podcasts,
Speaker 1: brought me into the podcast world, host ongoing podcast Space Cave,
Speaker 1: draw some truly hilarious comics, his stand up, special, animation, cinemata,
Speaker 1: graphical extravagance, a big nothingness can be found at David
Speaker 1: Hauntsberger dot com, which was a smart place to put
Speaker 1: it because that's his name. Please welcome to the show,
Speaker 1: The Brilliant the Town. To David Huntsberger, I want to
Speaker 1: do like a Miles off my space, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Let them know, let him know you're in
Speaker 1: a big room. So yeah, nice to see you guys.
Speaker 1: Nice to be back. It's great to see you. You
Speaker 1: do look like you were in a like there's like
Speaker 1: a science lab slash shop class vibe going on behind you,
Speaker 1: like truly. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of stuff happening back.
Speaker 1: But you know the pandemic you said everyone was hanging
Speaker 1: on by a thread. I feel like in the deep
Speaker 1: stages of quarantine, just needing to like keep my hands busy,
Speaker 1: to do something. I just started relentlessly organizing and and
Speaker 1: I made all this crap behind me, just out of
Speaker 1: free stuff. It was just something's left on the curb,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I can use that, and uh,
Speaker 1: it ended up being it looks a little maniacal, but
Speaker 1: it's all very organized, which is nice. Yeah, very organized.
Speaker 1: There's a Ferrari behind him. What's new man, What's what's
Speaker 1: going on with you? Uh? You know, I finished the
Speaker 1: wall behind me. The organization is coming to a close.
Speaker 1: I have to get back to normal life. I'm assessing
Speaker 1: the world around us all the time, like everyone is.
Speaker 1: Some people that never slowed down and never changed. Other
Speaker 1: people are reacting like they got to catch up. So
Speaker 1: a lot of stop signs being run through a lot
Speaker 1: of frantic, hurried behavior that's just baffling to watch. And
Speaker 1: I'm just sort of reintegrating and re immersing myself in it.
Speaker 1: And you guys did one of these, all these sketches,
Speaker 1: like when we are kind of at the end of
Speaker 1: everyone's still in their homes, everyone had audio games. So
Speaker 1: I started reaching out to friends and just writing little
Speaker 1: sketches and just a way to like, I was really
Speaker 1: sick of let's schedule to zoom and hang out. I
Speaker 1: started to really hate those. But you know, reaching out
Speaker 1: to someone that's saying, do you want to do a
Speaker 1: sketch for like fifteen minutes and just goof around and
Speaker 1: really not even catch up, just start up to zoom.
Speaker 1: They go, how's this sound? That's good? Then we do
Speaker 1: the script and like, how's life good? Oh yeah, good
Speaker 1: as well, and then part company and then maybe afterward
Speaker 1: they'd message remind me next time, I hope, but just
Speaker 1: I moved, I have a child, Like, okay, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that next time. But anyway, I did all
Speaker 1: these sketches and then I've just been like editing them
Speaker 1: and kinda put them out into the world. But that's
Speaker 1: what I've been to. Really, yeah, that sounds like a
Speaker 1: very productive way to channel the pandemic and post pandemic
Speaker 1: or still mid pandemic anxiety. I think so. And I
Speaker 1: think it was like the opposite of maybe we get
Speaker 1: this through uh behind the scenes things of like how
Speaker 1: shows are made, where you see like production offices and
Speaker 1: there's like dry race boards or post it notes everywhere,
Speaker 1: and people are like planning, how are you gonna make
Speaker 1: this thing? And then they start and then they sit
Speaker 1: down and you have to open up some sort of
Speaker 1: software and like okay, interior apartment day. Then you you
Speaker 1: have then you like, after you planned it all out,
Speaker 1: then you have to write it. I just kind of
Speaker 1: started writing all this stuff and just checking in with
Speaker 1: my friends just to say hi to everybody. And then
Speaker 1: after I had all these like dozens of sketches, like
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do with that? So somebody sort
Speaker 1: of the opposite It came from like a good place,
Speaker 1: and then I had to be like, oh, yeah, what
Speaker 1: would you what would you? What would normal person do
Speaker 1: here with all of this? Yeah, yeah, we were in
Speaker 1: of the sketches. It was a blast, but yeah, no punctuation.
Speaker 1: You didn't even have character names. Was just a block,
Speaker 1: solid block of text. You ended to work it out
Speaker 1: for yourself. You're the full underscore. I kept underminding, just
Speaker 1: like scores, that's you, that's your care I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know the letters. I don't know the keys on
Speaker 1: a keyboard. I also feel like you're right that it's
Speaker 1: affected the way people are driving. I feel like I hear,
Speaker 1: you know, an average of eight peel outs, like in
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, like on a regular basis, like in the
Speaker 1: middle of the day at a time that really nobody
Speaker 1: I think nobody's drag racing. Maybe I'm not up on
Speaker 1: the drag racing scene, but it feels like a Sunday
Speaker 1: morning at ten thirty might not be the ideal time,
Speaker 1: but people are peeling out, people are people are driving hard. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is weird to watch. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: good to be kind of aware of what paradigm you're
Speaker 1: in or to just do it, like just to be
Speaker 1: boast of all, like cutting through traffic, going to work,
Speaker 1: chucking coffee, going to do in your hobbies and activities,
Speaker 1: meeting up for friends, laughing, just living life so fast.
Speaker 1: If you're outside of that. Watching it, You're like, what changed?
Speaker 1: What is No one seems to be handling this? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a good description of how I live my life.
Speaker 1: So I get it. Yeah, you know, just rushing out.
Speaker 1: You know, weekends are for the boys. As Miles and
Speaker 1: I always talk about playing some tackle football without beds
Speaker 1: in the park, Rush and Bruise discussed the idea of
Speaker 1: too hand touch or flags just no fucking just separates
Speaker 1: your shoulder, one flag we respect. Yeah. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
Speaker 1: a couple of things we are talking about today. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that Trump speech that was interrupted by
Speaker 1: the national anthem for some reason and just the weird
Speaker 1: vibes coming off of that whole scene. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden being an elderly an elderly gentleman and
Speaker 1: questions about that. We're gonna talk about the return of Teletubbies,
Speaker 1: which I feel like a you know that this is
Speaker 1: where our age, my age really comes in handy Miles,
Speaker 1: do you remember the first run of Teletubbies when people
Speaker 1: win't like Teletubbies controversies were with Jerry Folwell, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I see, how was that perfect age where
Speaker 1: I was too old to watch Teletubbies but just aware
Speaker 1: enough to be like, yeah, I think Jerry Folwell said
Speaker 1: they're gay, right, and I think that, and then I
Speaker 1: was like whatever, twelve and I'm like moving on with
Speaker 1: my weird life. Yeah, and we might even get to
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes all of that plenty more. But first day,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? I would belt Sanders, some sort of
Speaker 1: tool or item, a lot of looking up the value
Speaker 1: of what those any given time. Get really into nickel
Speaker 1: cadmium batteries. Okay, they die, and so everyone moved into
Speaker 1: like lithium iam. But then there's like these middle space
Speaker 1: of various other like metal based batteries, the nickel cabiums
Speaker 1: you can recharge and bring it back to life. So
Speaker 1: some tutorials on how to do that type of thing
Speaker 1: and kind I think going kind of insane. Just uh.
Speaker 1: YouTube has been so great because you can learn anything.
Speaker 1: But also, you know, everyone talks about like the wormholes
Speaker 1: you can go down. You really can find yourself into like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, vinegar can really do a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's magical. It's like the they sell it
Speaker 1: over the counter, this gentle acid, and then you can
Speaker 1: just clean anything you want with it. It's amazing. I
Speaker 1: like the sound gentle acid. It's so like you can
Speaker 1: have this. You don't have to go to a special cabinet.
Speaker 1: You can use this regular average human hands. Yeah, get
Speaker 1: on your hands a little bit. It's okay, just rins
Speaker 1: it off somewhere quickly. It's gentle. It's gentle AzID. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I definitely learned the to appreciate vinegar and many other things.
Speaker 1: Is like in the pandemic, I was like going through
Speaker 1: like old electronics and I'm like, oh, I knew I
Speaker 1: had a wireless mouse and like the battery had fucking
Speaker 1: exploded on the inside and like ash ship. So then
Speaker 1: learning how to clean that up, get the batteries working again,
Speaker 1: but then realized it had been crushed too many times
Speaker 1: with the optics stork. Look, it's a process, but I
Speaker 1: definitely I too know the magic of weird products in
Speaker 1: your house and apart from trying to put it back together,
Speaker 1: what is what's something you think is overrated? It's all
Speaker 1: of this is going to tie together because I think
Speaker 1: Ikea and Amazon go kind of hand in hand easy
Speaker 1: access to things you need, consumerism. But if you walk
Speaker 1: down really any neighbor Maybe this is just Southern California
Speaker 1: local to and maybe it's just specific to a neighborhood,
Speaker 1: but I feel like throughout the city, you drive along
Speaker 1: any street, you'll see old broken Ikea furniture that can't
Speaker 1: be refurbished in anyway. It's just it's just particle board.
Speaker 1: It's just trash the moment it breaks, so like old
Speaker 1: actual wooden furniture you can always fix up. And and
Speaker 1: then Amazon boxes everywhere beyond just everything being manufactured in
Speaker 1: China and all the shipping and everything. And I think
Speaker 1: we buy into when a billionaire says something like and
Speaker 1: they must know they're probably right when they'll say, like,
Speaker 1: we're actually a nut positive for the environment because what
Speaker 1: we do and looking forward, and people like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty it's actually pretty good for the environment. He said,
Speaker 1: this guy made several hundred billion dollars. He knows we're
Speaker 1: talking about. But I think the part they leave out
Speaker 1: is that they deliver trash, not just what's in the box.
Speaker 1: But people take the box and I got was over Amazon,
Speaker 1: and then they just set it next to their recycling.
Speaker 1: Then all the plastic blows everywhere, and then there's just
Speaker 1: Amazon wrapped everywhere. And most of the streets now are
Speaker 1: filled with old broken Ikea furniture and Amazon packaging supplies.
Speaker 1: So they're both very overrated. And now I've I've become
Speaker 1: very snobby. If I go to someone's house like, oh
Speaker 1: so easy, we just ordered this from Amazon, I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: I just see I hate it. Did you fucking really
Speaker 1: need sent sickles and fucking thirty six hours? You can
Speaker 1: go to the store or just fucking get it regular
Speaker 1: ship or something there. There are times I've had to
Speaker 1: really kill my inner prime lover where like now it's
Speaker 1: purely like if I've at the you know, the last gas,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, fuck, like I need this thing. I
Speaker 1: don't have time to get it. Fine, But most part
Speaker 1: I've learned to do the thing. If I like a thing,
Speaker 1: go to the manufacturer's website because they're probably gonna have like, hey, dude,
Speaker 1: buy it from us and we'll give you percent off
Speaker 1: there myself, please and do that whole thing. And just
Speaker 1: because you know it really is, like we've I've had
Speaker 1: to like really pump the brakes on my expectation for
Speaker 1: ship to arrive instantly. It's really fucked up, and like
Speaker 1: you realize how impatient it's sort of it just like
Speaker 1: permeates through your life when you don't have when certain
Speaker 1: things just aren't you don't just chalk up to yeah,
Speaker 1: I ordered that it'll come when it comes, or you know,
Speaker 1: I'll have to go to X, Y and Z to
Speaker 1: go get it when I have time, versus now, like
Speaker 1: where where the can I get it? Fucking now? Whatever? Whatever?
Speaker 1: It just I don't know. It makes me kind of
Speaker 1: more of a dick, especially when things don't arrive. You're like,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to come up Thursday before three. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: fuck that, like just sucking, Like not everything is an emergency.
Speaker 1: I get when things are, but not everything is despite
Speaker 1: the speed at which we get our goods. Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Well, at the top of
Speaker 1: this pyramid at Bigley Jr. Everyone made fun of him
Speaker 1: for years. He was wet out of the curve climate change.
Speaker 1: Everyone just made him like a punchline because house is
Speaker 1: made out of old egg cartons or something but or
Speaker 1: milk cartons. But he was I mean he was repurposing things,
Speaker 1: you know, getting things. You can get the nicest thing
Speaker 1: made in nineteen sixty through at most like garage sales
Speaker 1: from someone that's like, oh, this belonged to my parents
Speaker 1: and I don't need it. You desperately need this thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the best one you could get. It's still in
Speaker 1: such good shape. And most people like, oh, it's gross,
Speaker 1: a used thing. I'll get this piece of crap from
Speaker 1: Ikea that will last me at least two years, probably
Speaker 1: to years. I was a guarantee for two years. Then
Speaker 1: it'll break and it's useless. I wouldn't buy this one
Speaker 1: for a dollar here that will last for another one
Speaker 1: hundred years. So I think that up cycling, refurbishing, recycling,
Speaker 1: you could make a case that everything that you would
Speaker 1: ever need has been made and continues to exist, and
Speaker 1: it's just sifting through people's garages currently. And we're but
Speaker 1: we have like planned obsolescence, so we're constant, we're consumers.
Speaker 1: It's capism. We have to keep buying ship so everything
Speaker 1: is made to break almost instantly, and people are consistently
Speaker 1: buying into that. So I'm i think that's very underrated
Speaker 1: to just appreciate. And like Myles was saying, take the
Speaker 1: time to maybe scrub something up with some vinegar, clean it,
Speaker 1: and like this is nice. I brought it back to life.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm just looking at the Bigley Junior environmental
Speaker 1: activism subhead of his Wikipedia and he had the an
Speaker 1: electric vehicle in which was a tailor done golf cart
Speaker 1: leg vehicle, and yeah, everybody was just like, yeah, what
Speaker 1: an asshole? You know, like from then until pretty like
Speaker 1: you don't eat meat? Huh. Try saying that. In the
Speaker 1: seventies when he became a vegan to write, and most
Speaker 1: of his contemporaries, I would guess, are the people that
Speaker 1: get lumped into that category of boomers where they are
Speaker 1: let's just dig all the things out of the earth,
Speaker 1: let's keep using fossil fuels, let's just burn through it.
Speaker 1: They get that that's like their rep he was. He
Speaker 1: was going against them. He was going to dinners with
Speaker 1: people his age and be like, oh, showed up in
Speaker 1: my electric car. And remember, guys, we used to do
Speaker 1: the drum circle. They all used to be hippies together.
Speaker 1: And then some of them like, oh yeah, it turns
Speaker 1: out this that. Remember when I was selling the drums
Speaker 1: at some of the shows, Well that took off. Now
Speaker 1: we're sourcing our material from Indonesia. They just get kids
Speaker 1: to dig it at. It's great. And then then Bigly
Speaker 1: was like I think I'm gonna stay being a hippie
Speaker 1: and he he got laughed at for it, which is
Speaker 1: a shame. Yeah, Yea. Valley to Baguley, I remember when
Speaker 1: I was working on a ballot proposition for clean energy.
Speaker 1: I got and not into a debate with him, but
Speaker 1: I was like, this is just this is how l
Speaker 1: a this ship was. I'm like getting signatures for a
Speaker 1: clean energy ballot proposition at a fucking farmer's market studio
Speaker 1: city and Ed Baguley comes up and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: big because everybody knows, like you're the fucking renewable energy
Speaker 1: and I'm like, please sign this and goes no. He's
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm actually gonna vote no on that, and
Speaker 1: I said why and he's like because the Sierra clubs
Speaker 1: against it, and I said and I was like, bro,
Speaker 1: the Sierra Club they basically got bought by like the
Speaker 1: utilities companies to like just side on this for like
Speaker 1: a very narrow reason that it could interrupt certain spaces,
Speaker 1: but like this is actually a bill to like help
Speaker 1: get more renewable energy. He goes, I didn't really think
Speaker 1: about that. He goes, wow, He's like, can you give
Speaker 1: me some more like material? And he like sincerely engaged
Speaker 1: with me and then like walked off, and I was like,
Speaker 1: damn ed vaguely okay, thank you for that. Like when
Speaker 1: I think most of the time people will be like,
Speaker 1: I already know about this, thank you. I don't have
Speaker 1: anything else to learn. But he I think because I
Speaker 1: was talking the ship that he likes renewables, that he
Speaker 1: was like, I have a minute. I have a minute
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, And it's you know, if you, if you,
Speaker 1: if you want to look good in twenty years, be
Speaker 1: like be beyond the more progressive side of things, because
Speaker 1: it that seems to always come come back around for
Speaker 1: or whatever reason. Yeah, there's even like a Simpsons episode
Speaker 1: that I remember this joke really well as being like
Speaker 1: pretty foundational to how I viewed environmentalists when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, because I was I was a big polluter
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. That was a drill, drill, drill. No.
Speaker 1: But there's a Simpsons episode I remember where he plays
Speaker 1: himself and he talks about using a go cart that
Speaker 1: is powered by his own sense of self satisfaction. It's
Speaker 1: just like a great, great, like iconic joke and like
Speaker 1: great sense of humor about himself. But I was also like, yeah, fuck,
Speaker 1: that guy's so stupid. Anyways, shout out to Ed Vagueley
Speaker 1: for yeah, being ahead of the curve, the curve being
Speaker 1: air crumbling civilization. Alright, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: back speaking in front of people at the at the
Speaker 1: MAGA rallies again after this is the first time since
Speaker 1: being officially subpoena by the Jamilassics Committee officially, so I
Speaker 1: can't believe he was willing to show his face after
Speaker 1: after that. Man, he's out here just saying what he's
Speaker 1: got to. I mean, like, this is what's interesting. So
Speaker 1: the reason we bring up this rally is like we
Speaker 1: know his pensiant for just like screaming at the top
Speaker 1: of his lungs, no matter how like self incriminating it
Speaker 1: might be. And like I feel like all of his
Speaker 1: lawyers are just always like slapping their hands like hands
Speaker 1: on their foreheads, like what the fuck is this guy
Speaker 1: saying out loud and recently like sorry, let me just
Speaker 1: that's my breath run around the corner. Recently he was
Speaker 1: he was going like he was going after e. G.
Speaker 1: And Carroll, one of the women who accused him of
Speaker 1: rape on truth Social and previously uh that she was
Speaker 1: bringing like a defamation suit against him. But there was
Speaker 1: this like logic like, well, he was in the he
Speaker 1: was a president, so it's during his executive privilege. It's
Speaker 1: just he was doing these as the president of the
Speaker 1: United States, not as a private citizen. He visited that
Speaker 1: again and denied all the allegations and added to like
Speaker 1: his denial on truth Social, and everyone's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: now you may have brought back more legal trouble because
Speaker 1: now you've just shot off about the mouth as a loser,
Speaker 1: as regular citizen. And again people are like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: that's probably not good for his legal troubles. But again,
Speaker 1: we don't know what consequences this man will ever see.
Speaker 1: So again setting the table, people are already concerned about
Speaker 1: like what he's saying when he said so we have
Speaker 1: this rally and one where he obviously wants to yell
Speaker 1: at the top of his lungs about how innocent he
Speaker 1: is and how you know the whole Januaries six thing
Speaker 1: is a hoax, blood ever blah blah blah. And we
Speaker 1: know about his penchant for trump jazz as we know
Speaker 1: where he goes completely off script and says whatever the
Speaker 1: funk he wants. So he gets to this moment during
Speaker 1: the rally where he's trying to transition subjects like a
Speaker 1: you know, like a stand up being like, mmmm, what else?
Speaker 1: So what else? Oh? Yeah, January six, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: And well, as he's about to go off on some
Speaker 1: January six stuff, we just hear like a spontaneous rendition
Speaker 1: of the national anthem begin. I'll play this for you
Speaker 1: because I'm just curious what everyone's take is on what
Speaker 1: exactly is happening here. Time he talks Christ, these are
Speaker 1: the people we have. But remember this January six, this committee,
Speaker 1: the two things they didn't talk about. Two things was
Speaker 1: that the people went down there and you could have
Speaker 1: had over a million people. So he's speaking, then he
Speaker 1: just like gestures to people then national ant that that
Speaker 1: set and there's people behind him being like, yo, what's
Speaker 1: the way to anthem now right, So they go through
Speaker 1: the whole anthem just like they're protesting what's taking place.
Speaker 1: So he just goes on. He kind of gets thrown off,
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, that's great, they're just protesting. Stood up.
Speaker 1: He's like, when they first stood up, I thought they
Speaker 1: were protesting. Well, yeah, they're protesting. They're protesting what's going
Speaker 1: on in this country, which is really a shame folks,
Speaker 1: really ashamed, really ashamed keeping it vague. So that's something
Speaker 1: like he immediately goes quiet, like an obedient dog or
Speaker 1: something where he knows like, oh, national anthem gets space,
Speaker 1: Let that cook, I will be Mr America right now.
Speaker 1: And many people were wondering, like what the funk was
Speaker 1: that about, Like are they trying to use like a
Speaker 1: heavy hand to like link their sense of patriotism to
Speaker 1: January six type behavior by being like January six can
Speaker 1: response now seeing the national anthem? Or are they using
Speaker 1: like the one tool that they think they have to
Speaker 1: shut him up to throw him off without being like
Speaker 1: that was the c I A up. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: just a weird SI up where it's like just this
Speaker 1: they're like, dude, the one fucking thing that will get
Speaker 1: him to shut up, as if he hears the national
Speaker 1: anthem and he'll back away. Like that's where where I'm
Speaker 1: most people like what just in general, what the funk happened?
Speaker 1: M I mean, we we have seen that his campaign
Speaker 1: is more and more willing to use impromptu, irregular music
Speaker 1: accompaniments when he's giving a speech. So maybe like it
Speaker 1: does feel like it was somewhat coordinated, like oddly so
Speaker 1: and not well coordinated, because it feels like he's not
Speaker 1: really expecting it or was expecting it at a different
Speaker 1: que But maybe maybe like he was like, and then
Speaker 1: I'll start talking January six, then then you'll go into
Speaker 1: the rendition. But because he doesn't like speak on any
Speaker 1: prompter or script, may maybe it just like kind of
Speaker 1: happened in a weird way. But it definitely felt definitely
Speaker 1: felt engineered to an end. Right, Yeah, it was because
Speaker 1: on I think like news Max are one of the
Speaker 1: fucking weird quote unquote news networks. After the rally, they
Speaker 1: spoke to this guy who was who was like, you know,
Speaker 1: being charged with January six ship. He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. I was talking to the president's team about that.
Speaker 1: This is him basically talking about how this was some
Speaker 1: what I guess this was coordinated hearing that you led
Speaker 1: this effort with Donald Trump tonight to sing the Star
Speaker 1: Spangled banner. Talk about Yeah, we have been pushing. Actually
Speaker 1: I came up with this idea on Wednesday, and I
Speaker 1: started pushing kind of late in the game here, asking
Speaker 1: we were starting through social media pushes. We reached into
Speaker 1: the president's camp everywhere we could. I J six defended myself,
Speaker 1: So reached into the camp everywhere we could, just saying, look,
Speaker 1: just singing solidarity with these guys. So first of all,
Speaker 1: I love that he's like, you know, I'm a January
Speaker 1: six defended myself. Okay, okay, yeah, just so you know
Speaker 1: this guy, he the ship he's been accused of. It's
Speaker 1: like he was banging shots like on Nancy Pelosi's off
Speaker 1: his desk or whatever, like alcoholic whiskey. Yeah, like drinking alcohol,
Speaker 1: like just pulling up with with the bottles and ship
Speaker 1: and being a real out on social media about it.
Speaker 1: But again, it's just it's it's so hard to know
Speaker 1: what's going on with this group of people because everyone
Speaker 1: is so zombie brained over preserving like racial hegemony. It's
Speaker 1: hard to know what exact level of depravity there engaging in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's very strange, very like the entire like, his
Speaker 1: rallies have definitely evolved into a in a weird culty direction.
Speaker 1: This almost feels like a callback to like at least
Speaker 1: at least the song they were singing was not some
Speaker 1: weird like coded Trump Trump is their Lord, you know,
Speaker 1: like some version at least they didn't all stand in
Speaker 1: in unison, like say a version of our father that
Speaker 1: had like yeah, but it's it's it's all very very
Speaker 1: weird and terrifying, terrifying. But yeah, so the rallies roll on,
Speaker 1: and again we will see what comes of his legal troubles.
Speaker 1: But as as it stands, this man is still just
Speaker 1: out here running around doing this thing. And if the
Speaker 1: Republicans win the House, as they're expected to in the
Speaker 1: mid terms, then the January six Committee is immediately disbanded,
Speaker 1: right Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why there,
Speaker 1: that's why they've wrapped it up before. And they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, you've just in case, you know, just in
Speaker 1: case our our plan about not really connecting to people's
Speaker 1: vital economic issues as a mid term strategy doesn't work
Speaker 1: at least we wrap the at least we wrap the
Speaker 1: J six committee up early. Yeah. So, and then on
Speaker 1: the other side of the coming presidential ticket, because I
Speaker 1: think we're all staring down the bear all of Biden
Speaker 1: Trump rematch. So what what what's happening in the in
Speaker 1: the world o Joe Biden. I know there was comments
Speaker 1: about like him saying him being like open to other
Speaker 1: people running kind of it's an acknowledging how old he is. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean we first have to acknowledge that Joe Byron
Speaker 1: will be turning eighty in a month. He will be eighty,
Speaker 1: okay in one month, So it's fair to say people
Speaker 1: have their concerns about another presidential run. I mean many
Speaker 1: Democrats have been talking about this since like the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year, like uh yeah, I mean like if
Speaker 1: he wants to, but like you know, other people might
Speaker 1: want to shot at that with like you know, better ideas. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what do I know? But Joe knows this as well,
Speaker 1: and like in this recent interview or like on this podcast,
Speaker 1: he was talking about like you know, if people don't
Speaker 1: if they're not confident they can vote in someone else.
Speaker 1: The host Jonathan cape Art his aunt Gloria would come
Speaker 1: on as a oh and he's like as a guest
Speaker 1: on the show, and she would ask, you know, what
Speaker 1: would you say to my aunt Gloria if she's like,
Speaker 1: you know, she's also getting older and realizes her own limitations.
Speaker 1: What if she wasn't you know what if she had
Speaker 1: her question marks about like what that looks like to
Speaker 1: run again? And he said, quote, I think Aunt Gloria
Speaker 1: should take a real hard look and if she concludes
Speaker 1: that I'm missing a beat, then she should support some
Speaker 1: other Democrat if they just said to run. And then
Speaker 1: when asked if Dr Jill was also supporting another run,
Speaker 1: he took a very long pause and was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, she knows the work we're
Speaker 1: doing is like important. So it's like I get that
Speaker 1: you want to, but it's also sounds like you're like,
Speaker 1: and I'm also willing to maybe let somebody tell me
Speaker 1: to sit down. Right. The I mean, on one hand,
Speaker 1: is progress. He's no longer challenging people to push up
Speaker 1: contests when they challenge his vitality right right right, And
Speaker 1: he's matured in that sense. Yeah, he's mature, is good
Speaker 1: at he's he's settling into adulthood. That's just also like
Speaker 1: the fact that he couldn't give like a straightforward like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: She's like she thinks we're doing a great job and
Speaker 1: thinks I'm the man for the job. Is they are there?
Speaker 1: Are there going to be? Like Tom Brady Giselle vibes
Speaker 1: to this, like his decision to run it back where
Speaker 1: they're like, Jill's pissed, y'all. She did not want to
Speaker 1: see this happen. I'm telling you, I'm the goat, Jill,
Speaker 1: get me back out there. I'm undefeated. No you're not, Joe,
Speaker 1: You're not undefeated. But I don't know. I mean like it.
Speaker 1: We really are, Like you know, like a few people
Speaker 1: have said it's time for a generational shift here in
Speaker 1: the leadership because we have people approaching their eighties now
Speaker 1: fully in the driver's seat figuratively and in a way.
Speaker 1: It feels literally like I feel like I'm on a
Speaker 1: road trip with like my grandpa who's like, I don't
Speaker 1: need no app I could use paper maps. Wan't you
Speaker 1: shut up back there, I know how to get across town. Jr.
Speaker 1: Like that kind of energy, and it's like there's so
Speaker 1: much easier ship to make this easier for you. I
Speaker 1: know you're tired, old man, let me drive. Why don't
Speaker 1: you let us drive? Now? Okay, we figured it out,
Speaker 1: had it in in in line with that a little bit.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? And this to me
Speaker 1: is more of just the thought experiment. But I'm curious,
Speaker 1: however one feels about this as Is this a bit
Speaker 1: of an olive branch? Is this a meeting in the middle?
Speaker 1: Is this insanity? I can make I guess a defense
Speaker 1: or I would say that I could. I could, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could defend or make a case for that. If
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney is running and as a viable candidate, I
Speaker 1: would vote for her. I think forty six in a row.
Speaker 1: Let's get one woman, even if she even if there's
Speaker 1: proof she had like s noto go into someone's house
Speaker 1: and slit their throat, Like still, let's try it. The
Speaker 1: guys have been terring. We've had the worst man imaginable.
Speaker 1: Let's get a woman. She showed some courage, she stood
Speaker 1: up against her party and like called out what was
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. I think it would make
Speaker 1: people bristle cowclugular. Dad's a war criminal in this and that.
Speaker 1: But is that a middle ground thing where like she's
Speaker 1: not an eight five years old, she's younger. I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's something there, man, She's I mean, she's she she
Speaker 1: says the right thing at the right time because like
Speaker 1: on the way to being like you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta draw a line somewhere, like she
Speaker 1: was fully back in all this other really cruel ship
Speaker 1: that Trump was going for. So I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: like that's what's so fucking that's just so fucked up
Speaker 1: about the situation. It's like, I don't know, maybe listen
Speaker 1: rather than like, meanwhile, you have other people like like
Speaker 1: de Santis is now like and now I have my
Speaker 1: l G B t Q censoring committee I've put together
Speaker 1: with the force of one thousand angry mothers. Like it's
Speaker 1: and he's like the good guy, He's the good option. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I think that's what is really frightening.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what shows that it's like, well,
Speaker 1: what if like the elderly leaders of the country got
Speaker 1: out of the way, ones who weren't like shocked at
Speaker 1: the idea of like forgiving student debt or like stimulus
Speaker 1: checks that were like more than a four hundred dollars
Speaker 1: because it'll spoil people, Like that's the completely wrong mindset
Speaker 1: to have, Like and it's it's interesting too. I was
Speaker 1: having a conversation with somebody who was talking about their
Speaker 1: grandchild who is like gen gen Z kid, and you know,
Speaker 1: they grew up like there, they were a boomer. They're like,
Speaker 1: I remember I was able to you know, I had
Speaker 1: a job at eighteen, and I had my own apartment.
Speaker 1: I'm just worried about him. He's still living at home
Speaker 1: and this, that and the other. And I'm like, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be worrying about him in the sense that you
Speaker 1: think he's existing in the same time period as you are,
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, he's lazy. What you need to
Speaker 1: do is actually extend your empathy towards like our generation
Speaker 1: and younger here that were fed a steady diet of
Speaker 1: go to college, you'll enter the middle class, go to college,
Speaker 1: you get this everything. I just need a good job
Speaker 1: and everything will be you know, available to you. And
Speaker 1: then come the time for us to sort of reap
Speaker 1: those benefits or those rewards, or reap what we've sown
Speaker 1: from taking on student debt. Etcetera. There's no economy, there's
Speaker 1: no there's no equitable pay, there's no affordable housing. And
Speaker 1: that's the environment. It's not so much that it's like, ah,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm giving up. It's just that we're in
Speaker 1: completely different worlds. And also like most people are completely
Speaker 1: confused in shell shocked from the idea, like I thought
Speaker 1: it was gonna work this other way and having to
Speaker 1: then have a reconciliation with that. But I was reading
Speaker 1: a I was reading a thing about the situation in
Speaker 1: Iran from a friend of mine posted a thing that
Speaker 1: his friend, it was a little closer to the situation,
Speaker 1: had written about it, and that was the sentiment is
Speaker 1: that when people operate from a place of hopelessness, they're
Speaker 1: more likely to risk it a little more. And as
Speaker 1: if you get rid of the middle class, if you
Speaker 1: put kids in a situation where not only is there
Speaker 1: no opportunity for you to like go into the workforce
Speaker 1: and subsist on your own, you're and then that the
Speaker 1: people that how's you're making you feel bad about it,
Speaker 1: even though they were complicit and putting you in that situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you might like that. That is that what it's going
Speaker 1: to take for people to become active and engaged in like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll get out there and disrupt the system, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's I also don't think I think if
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney ran, there would be no energy for that,
Speaker 1: Like it would be less energy than there is for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden because I think, like the reason we're seeing
Speaker 1: Trump and the like, people people have given up on
Speaker 1: the system as currently constituted, and she's like very much
Speaker 1: in the middle there of like the you know, she's
Speaker 1: a left leaning Republican by today's standards, which just means
Speaker 1: like she's a you know, a neo con like that,
Speaker 1: she's the type of person who put us in the
Speaker 1: Iraq War and you know, costs millions of people that
Speaker 1: are allowed and like they I think people what we're
Speaker 1: seeing is people like waking up to that fact. And
Speaker 1: there's because we don't have a mainstream media or political
Speaker 1: apparatus to give voice to that, and we don't have
Speaker 1: a system that can like provide a candidate that is
Speaker 1: outside of the system is currently constituted on the left,
Speaker 1: all we have is a candidate who's outside the system
Speaker 1: as it's currently constituted on the right, and then a
Speaker 1: bunch of like different options that are in within the system,
Speaker 1: and so I think anything you do that is like, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down walls by like uniting the establishment
Speaker 1: Republican and Democrat party, I think is going to ultimately
Speaker 1: failed because I think, like the message that people are
Speaker 1: trying to send that just isn't being received by either
Speaker 1: of the I guess it's being received by the Republican
Speaker 1: Party in some ways, but isn't being received by the
Speaker 1: mainstream media or the mainstream Democratic Party. Is that like
Speaker 1: your your solution can't be more of the same. You
Speaker 1: have to be willing to work against like these institutions
Speaker 1: that have got us here, that like make it so
Speaker 1: so that our lives are untenable, that we don't no
Speaker 1: longer have bodily autonomy, Like those are the things. So yeah,
Speaker 1: like I think the list Cheney as Democratic candidate like
Speaker 1: narrative makes sense within that establishment media framework, and we're
Speaker 1: going to see see it more and more. I think
Speaker 1: it's probably missing the point, is my is my kind
Speaker 1: of read on the situation. Perhaps this is optimistic, but
Speaker 1: I've kind of like pulled away a little bit from politics,
Speaker 1: and so I made a decision that like if Trump
Speaker 1: was off of Twitter and out of the office and
Speaker 1: not doing daily press conferences talking about putting bleach under
Speaker 1: his skin, I would consider that like a world that
Speaker 1: I gotta just enjoy it unless someone knocks on my
Speaker 1: door and like punches me in the face. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just get out there and like try to be positive
Speaker 1: about Hey, at least that's not happening. At least that's gone.
Speaker 1: And I remember when you're a kid, it's adults that
Speaker 1: come over and take so and so and whoever the
Speaker 1: president is at that time, and you're a kid and
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm trying to make a ford. I don't
Speaker 1: care about that. But money is the thing that like
Speaker 1: draws you into politics, you know, money is the thing
Speaker 1: Like essentially to me, politics is like can I be here?
Speaker 1: Can I make money? And then everyone has their views
Speaker 1: on like deciding that. And when you're a kid, maybe
Speaker 1: this hopelessness of you know, you are at home. You
Speaker 1: get forced into the workplace a little earlier, maybe like
Speaker 1: we don't have child labor. But you can have a
Speaker 1: side hustle, you can have a brand, you can have
Speaker 1: something online, you have a thriving TikTok and then you
Speaker 1: build that brand. We pretty purpose things. We find a
Speaker 1: keya furniture on the side of the road, turn it
Speaker 1: into this and I da da da da, and you're
Speaker 1: doing okay. And then you feel confident like, oh, someone
Speaker 1: is my voice. Maybe I can get energized. But the
Speaker 1: big brands, the people that have been influenced influencing politics
Speaker 1: for generations, like Coca Cola and Walmart, show up and go,
Speaker 1: that's adorable. You make a million dollars a month, that's adorable.
Speaker 1: You have no idea what we do to influence the
Speaker 1: world you live in and why we keep scraping just
Speaker 1: a little bit more for ourselves and a little bit
Speaker 1: less for the middle class. So then that group, maybe
Speaker 1: those kids, like they're the ones with this gigantic audience,
Speaker 1: maybe they see someone like Andrew Yang or the party
Speaker 1: that he's putting together and understand like automation and how
Speaker 1: it's influencing things. That there will be someone that comes
Speaker 1: along the energizes that group, and then they'll have all
Speaker 1: those they'll have megaphones because they have big social media presences.
Speaker 1: Is that possible at all? I don't know about with
Speaker 1: Andrew Yang. I do think that those get the younger generation.
Speaker 1: We're a lot of times I get into, you know,
Speaker 1: debates with myself about whether this is just like copium
Speaker 1: or like what you know, whether whether all the statistics
Speaker 1: we read about like the younger like the younger generations
Speaker 1: like having more realistic views about socialism and like the
Speaker 1: market and stuff like that, that that is going to
Speaker 1: change things. But yeah, it just it just feels like
Speaker 1: the establishment is going is going to be working extra
Speaker 1: super duper hard to try and influence them away from
Speaker 1: that and try and basically replicate what we saw them
Speaker 1: do with Ed bak Lee Jrs. Generation, where they were
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, so that all that stuff was silly, Right, Anyways,
Speaker 1: here's how you make real money and how you become
Speaker 1: a serious adult, and like somehow just like selling out
Speaker 1: to the values and like belief in the market economy
Speaker 1: and like the idea of the market can solve everything
Speaker 1: that just got enmeshed with our idea of like what
Speaker 1: an adult is for a long a long time. And
Speaker 1: I think there's younger generations that are that they don't
Speaker 1: buy into that, and so maybe we can see some change,
Speaker 1: But I do worry that they all have to get
Speaker 1: worse worse, even worse than it already is. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean people, I don't know. I mean I think it's
Speaker 1: like through your own suffering, people tend to learn lessons.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the problem, is that right now,
Speaker 1: like if you you're feeling the pain of inequality that
Speaker 1: you're if you do a very cursory search to try
Speaker 1: and figure out why your situation is what it is,
Speaker 1: you probably are going to arrive at some version which
Speaker 1: is like, well, sorry, I have of work going on
Speaker 1: the house. So if it sounds like people are mining
Speaker 1: through the walls, it's because they are. But just like
Speaker 1: you know, you'll either hear some version of hey, everything's great,
Speaker 1: we're working towards it day by day and we're gonna
Speaker 1: figure that stuff out. Just sit tight and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be all right. And another one is, hey, man, maybe
Speaker 1: we need to be fucking people up more so like
Speaker 1: things will be better and maybe we should learn like
Speaker 1: like lean into your anger to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to solve this rather than something that's like empathetic and
Speaker 1: like to your point, Dave, like there's clearly like we're
Speaker 1: at a moment where a lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 1: this ship doesn't work, that's for sure. Like I don't
Speaker 1: need to read more, study more to know fuck whatever
Speaker 1: they're doing over there, because I don't see ship changing,
Speaker 1: and that's fucking it doesn't work for me. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard to figure out how you're going to like
Speaker 1: which way people are going to fall after that realization.
Speaker 1: Clearly there's one version, which is like the extremest right version,
Speaker 1: which is like, I don't know, well, maybe preserving racial
Speaker 1: hegemony and the status quo is the way that we
Speaker 1: can just stop things from getting worse. We'll just keep
Speaker 1: it at shitty like peak shittiness now and maintain that.
Speaker 1: And others are like, well, you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff we could do. It's just pretty it's just
Speaker 1: kind of outside the him of anything we've imagined as
Speaker 1: a country before, which is like being humane to people
Speaker 1: and rich people making less money. One thing I do
Speaker 1: think we can all agree on is there's definitely money
Speaker 1: to be made with this younger generation. In the process
Speaker 1: of choreographing a smooth transition from this career to be
Speaker 1: in the social media and just career media manager for
Speaker 1: my six year old and four year old. That's kind
Speaker 1: of my five year plan. So as long as I'm
Speaker 1: making making the Benjamin's you know what I'm saying, you
Speaker 1: get got to get into this woke baby content. You know,
Speaker 1: I got, I got these I got these little white kids.
Speaker 1: They're reading friends found on and you know, Bell Hooks,
Speaker 1: Instagram Live, they're doing numbers. Man, these people can't get
Speaker 1: enough of woke babies. Woke Baby great name for a
Speaker 1: talent management firm. I mean, justin, I'm gonna trade market
Speaker 1: after this episode. I mean, if idiocracy is already, that
Speaker 1: becomes so real now. I mean, we're not far off
Speaker 1: from like a channel called Woke Baby BB or something.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and so are the Teletubbies, thank god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was like you, Miles that when when the
Speaker 1: first wave of Teletubbies hit, I was too old to
Speaker 1: give a ship and like, you know, too far away
Speaker 1: from having children to even like conceive of ever giving
Speaker 1: a ship about that sort of thing. But it was
Speaker 1: this big media like the place it did across my
Speaker 1: radar was a media panic about whether it was like
Speaker 1: instituting evil satanic or you know, queer ideology into babies,
Speaker 1: like this is a show. So I find like, as yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is a show that like the uh,
Speaker 1: this is a our writer, jam put this story together,
Speaker 1: you know, did a lot of awesome research. And I
Speaker 1: watched Teletubby's footage for the first time, and it is
Speaker 1: very strange. Have you guys, have you guys watched any
Speaker 1: of this footage or came out. I remember being just
Speaker 1: because I was like like fine, what is it? And
Speaker 1: I remember like, oh, this is like for babies, because
Speaker 1: like they're not even we're using words, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's like all vibes. Yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: just rolling hills a son that has a baby's face
Speaker 1: inside of it. And so that that's what it was originally.
Speaker 1: So one controversy with a new one. We'll just get
Speaker 1: into that because this is probably the news hook you'll
Speaker 1: see is that the redesign, you know, the same way
Speaker 1: that like Star Wars, fans will like, don't want anything change,
Speaker 1: just want you to release the same movie again. I
Speaker 1: guess this Teletubbies update people are mad because instead of
Speaker 1: being inside a cartoons sun, the baby's head is just
Speaker 1: floating out in space, like out in the sky. And
Speaker 1: then their sunbeams behind the baby's head and people are like,
Speaker 1: that's weird. That's on the other hand, the original the
Speaker 1: original design also extremely strange. So I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I can like fully understand any complaints actual criticism
Speaker 1: where people look, it's not in the sun, it's not
Speaker 1: in a radiating sunbeam. Yeah that that doesn't surprise me
Speaker 1: at all. But yeah, that that is apparently a complaint
Speaker 1: that some people have had. What they just dropped the
Speaker 1: first trailer last week, So what we'll see if this
Speaker 1: has any what do you call like the ultra fans,
Speaker 1: like the ultras for Teletubi is there, like the Tubbos, tubers,
Speaker 1: Telly's Tubes, Tuburrinos. Yeah, but they're there. Is like a
Speaker 1: People article that was like Reboot looks mostly unchanged in design,
Speaker 1: but some fans have been left raging at one major difference,
Speaker 1: and it's just that the baby's head. One fan me
Speaker 1: from fans me and muttering under my breath when I
Speaker 1: first saw it. But it is it is such a
Speaker 1: strange universe they've created, and it seems it does seem
Speaker 1: it seems very psychedelic, which kind of makes sense because
Speaker 1: like a lot of the understanding or you know, at
Speaker 1: least theories on like what psychedelics do for people's minds
Speaker 1: as they like remove all the doors, are like, you know,
Speaker 1: different filters we've built up over life just to like
Speaker 1: be able to get through day to day life, so
Speaker 1: you know, be able to focus on something boring, and
Speaker 1: psychedelics like allow you to peel those backs, so you're
Speaker 1: just at a place where there's like none of these
Speaker 1: filters and everything's coming in kind of unfiltered, and that
Speaker 1: would seem to be like how a baby would perceive
Speaker 1: the world, And when you spend time with babies, you
Speaker 1: do also have that thought you're like, oh man, they
Speaker 1: they seem like they're tripping like the stuff that they're
Speaker 1: interested in, Like they're just like the plants are growing,
Speaker 1: the the grass is moving. How do my bones move me?
Speaker 1: Is the trippiest question one of my kids asked me
Speaker 1: that I can remember. But that's just like part of
Speaker 1: the course they're constantly saying ship where you're like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck are you talking about? But I think so,
Speaker 1: I think just generally it makes people uncomfortable because there
Speaker 1: is like a a logic there that resonates with their
Speaker 1: inner child or their inner baby. I guess inner baby
Speaker 1: is completely different from inner child. And and that's like
Speaker 1: the thing that Teletubby's does that other media for children
Speaker 1: doesn't do, is it? It actually seems to create a
Speaker 1: world specifically for babies using baby logic. Actually, this this
Speaker 1: story made me like go and Google just have Have
Speaker 1: people watched Teletubbies while tripping and like what was their
Speaker 1: experience like? And I will say I can't recommend it
Speaker 1: for for everyone based on the like some one person
Speaker 1: who's like die Hard was like love watching the Teletubbies
Speaker 1: where when tripping. This is a direct quote from a
Speaker 1: from a mushroom and enthusiasts for them. I taped them
Speaker 1: in the morning to see what it would be like
Speaker 1: to watch them while on trooms and it was the coolest.
Speaker 1: They're cute and everything in the show is super colorful.
Speaker 1: Can't watch them without laughing my ass off. That bring
Speaker 1: the child out in you, I guarantee it. But then,
Speaker 1: like some of the responses to this, we're like, this
Speaker 1: is do not listen to this person? Like I when
Speaker 1: I watched it, I saw like demons in the sun Baby.
Speaker 1: I swear it like the sun Baby as it's about
Speaker 1: to dissolve into sunlight turns into a dem in for
Speaker 1: for split second, this person was like, big tip, if
Speaker 1: someone's having a bad trip, turn on the lights, put
Speaker 1: on a Teletubby tape and set the person who is sad, mad, scared,
Speaker 1: whatever in front of the TV and give them a
Speaker 1: blanket or a pillow. I don't think that's good advice necessarily.
Speaker 1: You could, you could try it, but I mean they
Speaker 1: might attack your television. I like that we're finally looking
Speaker 1: we're finally doing real research into psilocybin and baby vibes
Speaker 1: as a way to heal people. But I also like
Speaker 1: the idea of Teletubby. He's like, as this like Rorschach
Speaker 1: test of Like, dude, watch it and you're either going
Speaker 1: to be like this is fucking crazy. I can't handle
Speaker 1: it right or you're like, oh, this is like some
Speaker 1: dumbass baby shit. But I get it, like because you're
Speaker 1: like I'm baby, you know, yeah exactly. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like just random controversies are pretty part of the course.
Speaker 1: Like we said, there's backlash from parents who thought the
Speaker 1: show was dangerous nonsense. Other just pointed out it was
Speaker 1: dumbing down the simplicity was like damaging. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: education experts said the simplicity was exactly the point. There's
Speaker 1: like constant repetition. Some people were like, the plots are
Speaker 1: just crap. There's there's no sense of place, the camera
Speaker 1: placement doesn't make any sense. Is like yeah, I like
Speaker 1: the fucking characters are called like Inky Winky and like
Speaker 1: Bobby Lulu like what and you're like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean the ms on scene like huh, come on,
Speaker 1: and then they try and get real for one episode,
Speaker 1: like the one where they had a bear coming to
Speaker 1: tell a tubby land and it became it was like
Speaker 1: outlawed in various countries, censored by the BBC because it
Speaker 1: was too scary. I watched like five minutes of it.
Speaker 1: It's truly. It's actually not as creepy as like a
Speaker 1: lot of the commentary makes it seem like the bear.
Speaker 1: I think I might have seen the one that was
Speaker 1: like post some editorial changes, but the bear just like
Speaker 1: talks with a silly like I'm a bear and I'm
Speaker 1: here to eat whatever I want. And you know, it
Speaker 1: still has the sunshiny vibes. There is a voice that
Speaker 1: repeatedly tells them to like run and hide from the bear,
Speaker 1: which is dark here at I think we're gonna play
Speaker 1: a little a second. Um, there's the bear is it's
Speaker 1: like two dimensional cardboard. I'm the ball, I'm the bath
Speaker 1: with brown fuzzy hair scar. Okay, Jack, we gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta knock this ship off. It's fucking crazy. It's really
Speaker 1: could just posted by NASCAR fan. Yeah, that's so. I
Speaker 1: caught up some Teletubby stuff. From time to time. It
Speaker 1: says this is custom made, so maybe this isn't like
Speaker 1: pure Teletubby. He's like, look, man, I'm in a Nascar
Speaker 1: and freedom. And freedom also extends to the media, where
Speaker 1: I will upload the unedited Lion and Bear Teletubbies episode
Speaker 1: the Red Band trailer. So this is not very um
Speaker 1: okay looking over there because it has a good always
Speaker 1: that the bear mix. Okay, So the lion is chasing
Speaker 1: the bear. So there, children are learning about the killer
Speaker 1: be Killed world of Yeah, did you know? I don't know? Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: I remember the thing with Jerry Folwell was because the
Speaker 1: one was purple and had the triangle like thing on
Speaker 1: their head. They're like, you see right, I study I
Speaker 1: study gay semiotics. I know about this stuff and that
Speaker 1: was the big that was the big thing that there's
Speaker 1: a character I think it's Tinky Winky who wears a
Speaker 1: tutu and carries a purse and is a boy and
Speaker 1: or is I guess like the gender gender fluid. And
Speaker 1: because it was the nineties, instead of being like that's
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with that, they were like, what you're wrong, bag, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a bag who gives us. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I can just I can see this being a
Speaker 1: a thing for the right to come back with when
Speaker 1: when they're already you know, responding to Like I think
Speaker 1: when we see a cultural reboot that was like something
Speaker 1: was popular in the nineties and then it comes back
Speaker 1: and basically the same form in our modern world, Like
Speaker 1: we saw this recently with hocus Pocus, where a mom
Speaker 1: was like and there was a witch on my TV
Speaker 1: and like that is satanic and it like, oh, we've moved,
Speaker 1: we've moved backwards. This is this is like we're we're
Speaker 1: we're regressing culturally. So this is just another one where
Speaker 1: I would be on the lookout for another example of
Speaker 1: the right finding a way to freak out o this.
Speaker 1: I think it really is like in this way, it
Speaker 1: does say something about your subconscious where if you're sat
Speaker 1: in front of a piece of media that doesn't have
Speaker 1: like an overt structure or narrative, that you begin to
Speaker 1: fill the gaps with the weirdest ship. Right, Really we're
Speaker 1: going with, oh no, I know what they're trying to
Speaker 1: tell a baby through this thing now is just really
Speaker 1: I don't know, telling of whether like how how how
Speaker 1: like much our intellects have just gone in the gutter
Speaker 1: where people don't even know how to just sit in
Speaker 1: that and be like, huh, I don't know what that was, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: or be like I hate when it's quiet. I don't
Speaker 1: like to be with my thoughts, So a TV show,
Speaker 1: which is the equivalent of being with my thoughts is
Speaker 1: not the kind of place I want to be. Therefore,
Speaker 1: I can project all this other weird nonsense into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hard to know, hard to know. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: definitely weird, but so are the minds of babies. And
Speaker 1: like all programming directed at babies, like The Blues Crew
Speaker 1: or Blues Clues, is that the one where they just
Speaker 1: like turned to the camera and they're like, what do
Speaker 1: you think? And then sit there and wait for you
Speaker 1: to answer like, that's very strange. That is an uncanny
Speaker 1: experience that like would be just as easy to be,
Speaker 1: you know, to be like they're demonstrating, you know that
Speaker 1: they are autonomous slaves to the Illuminati, because they're just
Speaker 1: there's long periods of silence that make me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: So it's it's I think, into and into this culture
Speaker 1: that we find ourselves dealing with, there's going to be
Speaker 1: overreactions form a right, that is going further and further,
Speaker 1: just spinning further and further away from the planet and
Speaker 1: in any sort of gravitational force of reality, and this
Speaker 1: feels like just pay dirt for them. So it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see. But my familiarity with content, especially produced
Speaker 1: a material on the television, is that it has to
Speaker 1: go through like a lot of you know, yes, is
Speaker 1: you got and then even beyond like pitching it to
Speaker 1: a room you might have a writer's room of if
Speaker 1: something is birthed out of cable access, right, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean my friends have these weird costumes we got when
Speaker 1: we are traveling abroad and we started filming ourselves just
Speaker 1: making baby sounds, and I won't pick that up, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was the beginning of teletuppies. That would make sense
Speaker 1: as opposed to like someone going into a room, opening
Speaker 1: a briefcase and like setting out. So here, here's what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. People just sitting there like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: follow you. This is I appreciate you pitching to us,
Speaker 1: but go through it again. So I wear this suit,
Speaker 1: my friend? Where is this? When we make these sounds,
Speaker 1: it's like a star child baby thing. Wait, we've we've
Speaker 1: studied babies. Who says yes on that? Are they? Just
Speaker 1: like yeah? I mean that's that's our network. We just
Speaker 1: try anything. Go from someone in Europe. That's definitely where
Speaker 1: that happens, not in the United States. But I think
Speaker 1: people that have like extreme dogmas are like, no, this
Speaker 1: was yeah, like the Illuminati purposefully putting together all these ingredients.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, right, when the Aqua Bats fell apart
Speaker 1: as a ska band, they knew they that was a
Speaker 1: setup move for Yo Gabba Gabba, Like what just the
Speaker 1: sky wave crested and then they found themselves in a
Speaker 1: good position. But I was curious if like I was
Speaker 1: gonna be able to find somebody who like tripped and
Speaker 1: watched teletub yous with like baby mindset, and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually just like very straightforward and it feels like
Speaker 1: you're just watching a PowerPoint presentation. This all makes total
Speaker 1: sense if you are in a baby's mind, it's like
Speaker 1: very clear and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, And how would
Speaker 1: you know how you would be inside of a baby's mind? Oh,
Speaker 1: I was on a significant amount of LSD. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was strange affect on people. Years later at a lunch
Speaker 1: you know, with that just I've made it kind of well, look,
Speaker 1: it's cute you think that. But when I was making
Speaker 1: tubbiest pitch, the thing about a great pitch, and I
Speaker 1: know I learned this on Tubbies. There's someone that had that,
Speaker 1: like stacks of money from Teletubbies calling Tinky Winky Wink
Speaker 1: because like they have to come up with a nickname.
Speaker 1: That makes it clearly friend Tony in the first two
Speaker 1: years and what a diva couldn't get him in the
Speaker 1: costume if I wait, threw Bundy and throw Bundy in
Speaker 1: every problems he saw this, I go out all day.
Speaker 1: That's right, ship. Uh Well, David Hauntsberger as always truly

Speaker 1: now and I'm like, oh, it's so weird to think of.

Speaker 1: just like throwing a leaf in and hoping everyone will
Speaker 1: look at it, and just chucking leaves, and then when
Speaker 1: you walk away from the river, you're like, what a
