Speaker 1: News with Kode Johnson. She studied psychology and evolutionary biology
Speaker 1: at a school in Boston. Don't Worry About It uses
Speaker 1: her background. Two hosts the brilliant podcast Creature feature, where
Speaker 1: you learn all the weirdest ship you didn't know you
Speaker 1: wanted to know about various creatures, including the weirdest and
Speaker 1: grossest creature of all mankind. Please welcome, coming all the
Speaker 1: way from Italy, the brilliant in town. Did Katie Golden?
Speaker 1: It's me Katie? Okay, very good. I should I should
Speaker 1: have voiced Mario. It should have been That's what I've
Speaker 1: been saying. How is Katie? And I did? I did
Speaker 1: check with you before. I was like, so you admit
Speaker 1: you're in Italy? Right? Yeah, I admit it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty Italy. It's um, it's pretty Italy. It's pretty Italy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we got a little little, just
Speaker 1: a little you know, chef's kiss of fascism going on here,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, not great. But the I actually
Speaker 1: did a whole thing on this on the even More
Speaker 1: News podcast. But essentially, the Italian government is set up
Speaker 1: to trip on its own dick like constantly, and that
Speaker 1: does make it harder for fascists to like do a takeover.
Speaker 1: So that's that's a silver lining to the situation. Shout
Speaker 1: out dick trips. Yeah, fashion once again, shout out dick trips.
Speaker 1: So ineffectual governance is gonna say the day your version
Speaker 1: of fascism, which is already it's nearing American levels of fascism,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of a vowed and officially fascism and
Speaker 1: it's still does it's still missing some of those sweet
Speaker 1: sweet ingredients that we have going on over here. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's funny because it is like Maloney's party
Speaker 1: is a re re re rebrand of the neo fascist
Speaker 1: movement that remained lingered after Mussolini, and her platform is
Speaker 1: a good deal less fascist than a lot of Republican
Speaker 1: Republicans in the US. That's not to say she's good.
Speaker 1: She's still like she praised Mussolini when she was like
Speaker 1: a teenager. She was like, yeah, he's a good politician,
Speaker 1: and everything he did he did for Italy. So you know,
Speaker 1: she's not like, I think she's trying to play nice
Speaker 1: right now because she knows if she pulls out the
Speaker 1: fascism card too fast right now, like Europe is going
Speaker 1: to be mad at her. So yeah, it's still early days.
Speaker 1: I was. I was just reminiscing about the days when
Speaker 1: we were shocked that Trump admitted he fired called me
Speaker 1: over the Russian like it was it was the very
Speaker 1: early days, and we were like, oh my god, we
Speaker 1: got him. Folks sending should wrap it up. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: funny that we're dick tripping our way into fascism because
Speaker 1: the government is going effect people like, man, fascism looks
Speaker 1: way cooler than this bullshit. Well, I think our gravitational
Speaker 1: center is fascism. You know, that's where, that's where we've
Speaker 1: always wanted to be. I think even where it's slavery. So,
Speaker 1: you know, especially now is like you know, on the
Speaker 1: ballot in some states we were like so forced labor
Speaker 1: for prisoners, Okay, all right, never mind, never mind slaves
Speaker 1: and beyond. I feel like we're gonna like there's gonna
Speaker 1: be an actual push to bring back child labor soon.
Speaker 1: I feel it it's going to be something about how
Speaker 1: kids kids these days, you know, like they need, you know, what,
Speaker 1: they need to figure out how to They don't know
Speaker 1: how to use a like a circular saw. Right, They're
Speaker 1: already doing their on their work in the metaverse, so
Speaker 1: why not just move it to the universe. I see
Speaker 1: them building stuff in Fortnite all the time. In Minecraft.
Speaker 1: I mean, I see conservative memes or they're like back
Speaker 1: in the day, when you were fourteen, you went to
Speaker 1: war for your country. Now in your fourteen you choose
Speaker 1: your pronouns. It's like, yeah, let's bring back the days
Speaker 1: when we killed children and turning into child soldiers. Like
Speaker 1: back in the day they got black lung working in
Speaker 1: the coal mine and died by they were by the
Speaker 1: time they were twelve years old. Like today they go
Speaker 1: to school and from mommy. We're all listful for the
Speaker 1: days of World War One sent children into a literal
Speaker 1: meat grinder. I remember when I was going to work
Speaker 1: at the Triangle shirtwaist factory, and it was we were
Speaker 1: just a bunch of kids and people making a hard
Speaker 1: earned living. I missed my shift one day. I forgot.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened on them. But these days
Speaker 1: the kids are all in the TikTok. And back in
Speaker 1: the day, it was shell shock. Yeah, there you go,
Speaker 1: because we didn't have a term for okay, that young
Speaker 1: man shell shocked. All right, Katie, we're going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're talking about the big issue of the
Speaker 1: day of the millennium is that we are rapidly hurtling
Speaker 1: towards irrevocably self fucking the entire world through climate change.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna move on to what we're using to
Speaker 1: distract ourselves from that, which is like hand to hand
Speaker 1: combat sports. Um, there's a there's a new fed and
Speaker 1: pro slap fight, So we'll talk about that, which sounds
Speaker 1: much less dangerous than it actually is. You see about
Speaker 1: and you're like, um, that person has like total hearing
Speaker 1: loss in that here. Yeah. Yeah, and one person died
Speaker 1: oh ship last year overseas. But then maybe we'll get
Speaker 1: into some Halloween costumes. I think we should sexy nurse
Speaker 1: Halloween costume, Jeffrey Dahmer Halloween costume, all the all the
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes you should not be this year with bad idea,
Speaker 1: how not to wean it up? Yeah, exactly. What's Halloween
Speaker 1: like over in Italy? The same pretty? It's pretty boring. No,
Speaker 1: it's not the same vibe, sadly, Yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: some they'll put some pumpkins out, it's mostly I've learned
Speaker 1: that how the way that people just go hog wild
Speaker 1: for Halloween is a pretty American thing, and I do
Speaker 1: miss that a lot about America. Love the love the
Speaker 1: universal health care here. Do you miss the Halloween because yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: kids don't go trick or treating this year, And I
Speaker 1: just I think that is a real shame. I think
Speaker 1: that going around and hounding people for candy as a
Speaker 1: kid is such a you know, yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 1: such a it's it's such a unique experience to shake
Speaker 1: people down for candy while dressed as you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, a spooky Garfield. So it's the number one
Speaker 1: costume this year. So you heard that America's number one
Speaker 1: costume this year, as the kids call him Spoogar. What
Speaker 1: is something, Katie from your search history that is revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are? Oh? Yeah, So I did a
Speaker 1: Google search recently of can most people imagine smells? Because
Speaker 1: I was actually on my podcast talking about like smell
Speaker 1: and stuff, and like me and Jason Pargeon talking about
Speaker 1: like how I can't imagine smells and he cannot, And
Speaker 1: now I'm like, wait, how like how many people can
Speaker 1: imagine a smell and how many people can't? And what's
Speaker 1: going on? Do you guys? Can you guys imagine smells?
Speaker 1: I describe the process like I can. I can almost
Speaker 1: like have a phantom sense of it. I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: and I'm right now this or whatever? Yeah, exactly, Like
Speaker 1: can you like have like a phantom scent of cinnamon?
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, like when you imagine like something,
Speaker 1: you're not literally seeing it, and when you're imagining a smell,
Speaker 1: you're not literally smelling it. But can you kind of
Speaker 1: bring that to mind? You know? Yeah, I can definitely
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, well, Jason Pargeon is
Speaker 1: a cloud of nanobots? Are we? Are we admitting that
Speaker 1: on this or actually that? Yeah? Alright, sorry, but I
Speaker 1: think I can. But it's actually harder than I expected
Speaker 1: when you said that. I'm like, yeah, so, like I
Speaker 1: know what a smoky smell is, right, and it's yeah,
Speaker 1: the way I think what the way way, the way
Speaker 1: I'm imagining it is like I can almost there are
Speaker 1: certain smells that hit different parts of my sinuses differently,
Speaker 1: So if I'm like trying to evoke something, I'm like
Speaker 1: almost physically bringing more awareness to that part of my
Speaker 1: just for something to like kind of because I feel
Speaker 1: like that's where a certain scent might resonate more. That's
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give you a glimpse into how
Speaker 1: I do this. Yeah, that's really interesting. I'm really strong
Speaker 1: sense memories tied to smell, Like yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is is I can recall smells.
Speaker 1: I can like get a specific version of a smell
Speaker 1: and bring that to mind. I can't if you gave
Speaker 1: me like words then be like it's a lilac mixed
Speaker 1: with COCONUTTI like I I would not be able to
Speaker 1: put those things together. Interesting, Yeah, I mean I have
Speaker 1: an extremely strong sense of smell. So like if someone
Speaker 1: eating like tuna a mile away, I start gagging bringing
Speaker 1: up my tuna now, or maybe if they're eating it
Speaker 1: in another part of the earth. I can even smell
Speaker 1: right now during a zoom. I can smell right now
Speaker 1: as we speak breakfast. Those are great sounds for a
Speaker 1: podcast to sub podcast. Very good. Yeah, No, I mean
Speaker 1: so so I feel like it may because I can
Speaker 1: very vividly think of smells. And sometimes it's like not
Speaker 1: a great thing because if it's a bad smell, then
Speaker 1: it's like then it's there and that's bad. I can
Speaker 1: do it all. I feel like I could recall like
Speaker 1: a terrible porta potty I've been in all like the
Speaker 1: smell of like the ups, like going up the stairs
Speaker 1: and my grandmother's house in Japan. Like, I feel like
Speaker 1: there are a few things that I could really like
Speaker 1: transport my Selton because whenever I smell certain things like
Speaker 1: cedar wood or something, oh ship. Yeah, one time someone
Speaker 1: threw up next to a Wetzels pretzel at a mall
Speaker 1: and I remember that smell really vividly. Did it ruin
Speaker 1: the smell of Wetzels Pretzels because that is probably in
Speaker 1: my top ten smells. It did for a little bit,
Speaker 1: but not forever. Ye, salty buttery. Can you do a
Speaker 1: difference between a Wetzels and Auntie Ann's? I think can.
Speaker 1: Actually I don't think I can, Okay, just saying I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to see there's levels to it, you know, like,
Speaker 1: could you do MRS's vomity? Maybe, yeah you could? Could
Speaker 1: you do Mrs? I could do? I have one from
Speaker 1: the mall, which is Mrs Fields next to bedad Our
Speaker 1: bathroom body works. Oh yeah, that's a that's a journey, right,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a nice It's a sugar
Speaker 1: cookie into warm vanilla sugar lotion. M hm um bad
Speaker 1: body works. So yeah, I love how aggressive Lush is
Speaker 1: with their since they don't they don't mess around. They're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna immediately punch you in the face, and if
Speaker 1: you don't like it, you can get the funk out
Speaker 1: of our store. What is something you think is overrated? Kanye? Am?
Speaker 1: I right? Am? I right? Guys? No, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean actually, so, I am finally living somewhere where I
Speaker 1: don't have to drive a car, and it's really amazing.
Speaker 1: I've it's such a because like I've always kind of
Speaker 1: hated driving, and I imagine, like, oh, if I could
Speaker 1: live somewhere where I don't have to drive, that would
Speaker 1: be really nice. But just this, the amount of quality
Speaker 1: of life improvement and being able to walk places is
Speaker 1: kind of mind blowing. And I feel like it's kind
Speaker 1: of trendy now to hate cars, but I'm fully for
Speaker 1: that trend of hating on cars because it's I've I've
Speaker 1: grown to like become I mean, you know, I understand
Speaker 1: and that people still have to drive, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's based on luck whether you can live somewhere where
Speaker 1: you don't have to use a car, but it is
Speaker 1: it's just like being able to walk to the grocery
Speaker 1: store is incredible. It's like I just want a single
Speaker 1: orange and I can make that happen, right without being
Speaker 1: like all right, let me gather my belongings and myself
Speaker 1: as I embark on a journey like a like a
Speaker 1: mile or two to get one orange. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's where I definitely am learning to hate cars.
Speaker 1: Like I like cars, like I like looking at cars.
Speaker 1: I like the design of cars. But the more I
Speaker 1: drive my car, the more I'm like, I wish I
Speaker 1: didn't have to do this. I wish I go bike,
Speaker 1: Like I wish there was more bike infrastructure. I wish
Speaker 1: there was more walking infrastructure, which is better public transit.
Speaker 1: I mean this is speaking to l A specifically, but
Speaker 1: when you start, like when I started writing my bike more,
Speaker 1: I definitely got that feeling of like, man, this is
Speaker 1: this feels so much better to be able to just
Speaker 1: get somewhere somewhat close us by, but also not have
Speaker 1: the hassle of firing up my car. Yeah. I'm curious
Speaker 1: as as it relates to climate change, since the fear
Speaker 1: of around cities is really being dialed up as we
Speaker 1: as it gets more and more important that everybody start
Speaker 1: living in like more closer quarters so that we don't
Speaker 1: all have to drive cars everywhere we're going. Like, I
Speaker 1: wonder if there's any like I guess we'll find this
Speaker 1: out in the museum they make after humanity has wiped
Speaker 1: out and the next people come. But like cockroach museums
Speaker 1: that they Yeah, the little cock roach museum will be
Speaker 1: like the oil industry was behind the whole thing, making
Speaker 1: cities seems in the country. Yeah, that's how I imagine
Speaker 1: a cockroach sounds like. I like that you honestly, I
Speaker 1: would take that as even Mario's voice too, even, Well,
Speaker 1: what is this place? It's me Mario and the Motion Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Well it's in a bit of trouble. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? I mean, actually, like, I just
Speaker 1: somewhat recently finished Um the Earthsea books, which I had
Speaker 1: not read as a kid. I just read them as
Speaker 1: an adult by Ursula like Gwin, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm so shocked that I had never really heard of
Speaker 1: her until I was an adult, because she's amazing and
Speaker 1: I would have loved these books when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's it's also funny because you know, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like people's experiences with Harry Potter are getting
Speaker 1: somewhat tainted by J. K Rowling just turning into like
Speaker 1: a hate monster these days. But like, if you're if
Speaker 1: you feel that way, I would definitely read the See
Speaker 1: books because, first of all, I actually think they are
Speaker 1: you know, they're there. It's such a it's a bigger world,
Speaker 1: like the It builds such a larger world in terms
Speaker 1: of like this feeling of this great fantasies, and it
Speaker 1: has the same themes like wizards. There's like a wizard school.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things I think that J. K
Speaker 1: Rowling actually borrowed from these books, which normally is fine,
Speaker 1: Like when you borrow themes or ideas from other books,
Speaker 1: that's like that's how you write books, Like that's how
Speaker 1: literature works. But the thing that kind of annoys me
Speaker 1: is I think that J. K Rowling was like trying
Speaker 1: to basically say her books are better than fantasy, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: mine aren't fantasy. Their magical realism, like fantasies just like
Speaker 1: fairies and unicorns in my books are more you know,
Speaker 1: they're more grounded than that. And it's like, dude, come on,
Speaker 1: you have like wizards and unicorns in your book why
Speaker 1: are you? And also just to kind of pretend like
Speaker 1: she's special or different from fantasy. It's like, no, you
Speaker 1: like pulled a lot of these themes from pre existing
Speaker 1: fantasy books, which is fine. The these authors also pulled
Speaker 1: things from even older books, like that's how it works,
Speaker 1: but to not acknowledge that it's kind of crappy. Oh,
Speaker 1: this earth sea thing sounds cool though, Like I was
Speaker 1: just reading the Wikipedia and it's like the whole world
Speaker 1: is comprised of just like tiny islands. Yeah. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: feels like a lot like what ancient Greece was like, right,
Speaker 1: I was mainly like, you know, the mainland and then
Speaker 1: a bunch of little island nations all like going to
Speaker 1: war with each other and stuff. I've always been fascinated
Speaker 1: with that and been like, somebody should write this book
Speaker 1: that it turns out already exists before you were born.
Speaker 1: Loser turns out got any more brain Busters seventy and
Speaker 1: seventy two. Yeah, it's a really it's a really good
Speaker 1: series for for adults as well. I enjoyed it a lot,
Speaker 1: and I just finished it up a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's take a quick break, will come
Speaker 1: back and talk about how we all might be living
Speaker 1: on a series of tiny islands and the not two
Speaker 1: different future. We'll be right back, and we're back yep.
Speaker 1: And it seems like every once in a while the
Speaker 1: mainstream media will allow the world to check in with
Speaker 1: the reality of climate change and be like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: we we didn't do that. We said we were going
Speaker 1: to do so. Yeah. The latest assessment from scientists working
Speaker 1: with the u N has revealed bad news. Yeah, real
Speaker 1: bad news. If they basically concluded that the one and
Speaker 1: a half degree celsius threshold is now in serious peril
Speaker 1: uh quote. This analysis finds that new efforts to cut
Speaker 1: carbon would see global emissions falled by less than one
Speaker 1: percent by when according to scientists, deductions of forty five
Speaker 1: are needed to keep one and a half degrees celsius
Speaker 1: in play. And they say, basically, where on the track
Speaker 1: we're on, we're looking at around two point eight degrees
Speaker 1: celsius by the end of this century. Two is catastrophic.
Speaker 1: Two is it's over for us, Like it's any any
Speaker 1: version of reality that resembles like what what we live
Speaker 1: in right now is gone. It's just warler and water wars,
Speaker 1: and you know, people being displaced constantly, and before the
Speaker 1: doom and gloom. Just remember COP twenty seven is coming
Speaker 1: up in Egypt, the the Climate Summit, where I'm sure
Speaker 1: they'll just pat each other on the back for not
Speaker 1: making the Jesus, I don't know what's gonna happen. It's
Speaker 1: for sure, I mean, but it's it's really really I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Inger Anderson, who is the executive director of
Speaker 1: the I think un Environmental Policy Insto, just one of
Speaker 1: these uh the scientific arms said quote, we had our
Speaker 1: chance to make incremental changes, but that time is over.
Speaker 1: Only a route and branch transformation of our economies and
Speaker 1: societies can save us from the accelerating climate disaster. We've
Speaker 1: got to take climate change with us wherever we go,
Speaker 1: into the classrooms, into the boardrooms, into the voting booth,
Speaker 1: over the dinner table. We cannot let go climax change anyway.
Speaker 1: We cannot let go of climate change. And I think
Speaker 1: you know it's that that sounds about right. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like we could have done it incrementally fucking thirty
Speaker 1: years ago. Nice, and there are natural disasters happening now
Speaker 1: that we're predicted like over thirty years ago, and you'll
Speaker 1: read these papers it's like this is what will happen
Speaker 1: if we do nothing, but surely we'll do something right
Speaker 1: And then it's like, oh, wait was that today when
Speaker 1: we were supposed to do something about it? And then
Speaker 1: so like the the and there are things that I
Speaker 1: think are like like storms or earthquakes or think things
Speaker 1: that people don't immediately connect to climate change. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: this is our hurricane, why would this have anything to
Speaker 1: do with climate change? But like, no, that this has to.
Speaker 1: You know, when you have global warming, it's not just
Speaker 1: about the temperatures in the world increasing. You you mess
Speaker 1: with a very intricately interconnected climate system, which results in
Speaker 1: things like huge hurricanes that dump way more water on
Speaker 1: you than they would have before the changing climate. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's I mean, we're it's like we're not
Speaker 1: We're already in it, and yet people are still denying it.
Speaker 1: So it gets a little depressing. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the one bright spot like that anyone that we
Speaker 1: get point to, which isn't really saying much, is like
Speaker 1: that they even talk about is you know, like okay,
Speaker 1: well electric vehicle sales are exploding. That's one part of it,
Speaker 1: but there are whole industries that have to change. And
Speaker 1: like the other thing was that the Russian invasion of
Speaker 1: Ukraine like disrupted traditional traditional energy markets that other places
Speaker 1: were like huh, maybe renewables as a last resort. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it also feels like we're getting in your to the
Speaker 1: news and like the like the hurricane in caused more
Speaker 1: deaths in Florida than any hurricane in almost ninety years. Florida,
Speaker 1: which is a place with lots of hurricanes. I still
Speaker 1: remember like Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Hugo, like those hurricanes that
Speaker 1: were like nationally iconic events, and now it's we we
Speaker 1: just kind of brushed past it. Like I had to
Speaker 1: google what was the hurricane that just happened that caused
Speaker 1: the most deaths in Florida history almost ninety years ago,
Speaker 1: because it just like didn't I think the there's something
Speaker 1: that's happening where people are like, well, this is impractical
Speaker 1: for my day to day life to let this reality
Speaker 1: in and so we're just going to keep it moving.
Speaker 1: It's so yeah, it's all just so very bleak, and
Speaker 1: you can't blame human nature for not wanting to look
Speaker 1: this problem in the eye because the idea that the
Speaker 1: planet is going to fucking kill you because you mistreated
Speaker 1: it just seems like a fucked up movie plot, and
Speaker 1: that that that movie, the planting ng the happening with
Speaker 1: the plants, the angy plants. The leaves got mad, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that would be that would be great if
Speaker 1: the leaves got mad and we're able to do something
Speaker 1: to stop it. Like it's it's truly like the situation
Speaker 1: almost I like, has anybody done a democratic poll of
Speaker 1: like just if people are given the like reality of
Speaker 1: the situation, I can't imagine it's not overwhelmingly popular for
Speaker 1: everybody involved to be like we need to do something.
Speaker 1: We're willing to make changes, but it's we're being held
Speaker 1: hostage by like this status quo and this like global
Speaker 1: economic like global economic forces that are just I mean,
Speaker 1: it's such a strange and unprecedented situation where it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like I mean, I guess like World War one
Speaker 1: and World War two are similar, and it's like everyone's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't want this to happen, and then they just
Speaker 1: like keep moving towards them until it happens. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: after this one, all right, let's try a tactical nuke
Speaker 1: though real quick. It is similar to nukes in that
Speaker 1: way because like if you pull me out, like I
Speaker 1: don't feel a lot of dumerism about the average person,
Speaker 1: Like I really do think like the average human being
Speaker 1: would be willing to make sacrifices in order to make
Speaker 1: climate change better. And in the same way that the
Speaker 1: average person if you're like, hey, do you want do
Speaker 1: you want there to be nuclear war, you'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: hell no, no, I would never I would never want
Speaker 1: that to happen. But then it's like, well, it's not
Speaker 1: up to us. The people in power are the ones
Speaker 1: who get to decide whether or not nukes are used.
Speaker 1: And it's a similar thing with with climate change. It's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't you know these like we sometimes sort of
Speaker 1: have democracies but kind of not, and like so much
Speaker 1: it's it does feel very maddening where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it really reveals how difficult it is for the populace
Speaker 1: the people to have the power to do anything that
Speaker 1: would upset these status quo when it comes to, you know,
Speaker 1: the economic reality of like the people at the top
Speaker 1: breaking in huge amounts of profits, Like they're not gonna
Speaker 1: want to shut that off unless they were somehow forced to.
Speaker 1: Like to your point, the average person is willing to
Speaker 1: make sacrifices to save the planet. The average fossil fuel
Speaker 1: executive is fucking not right. And they're also spending billion
Speaker 1: of dollars like as an industry to you know, market
Speaker 1: to you know, just mind funk the world into not
Speaker 1: being able to do anything about this. Yeah, And you
Speaker 1: can kind of see, like with the reaction of like
Speaker 1: the just stop oil like climate activists or other climate
Speaker 1: activist in general, there's a real interesting thing where like
Speaker 1: what they're saying is real, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: They're like, we're fucked capitalism is is absolutely tied to
Speaker 1: our inability to fucking pump the brakes on this system
Speaker 1: we have and figure like, hey, do we don't even
Speaker 1: want to fucking earth to even to fuck to begin with?
Speaker 1: I know you guys love fucking the earth, but you
Speaker 1: can fuck it to death and it will be over.
Speaker 1: And you see, like in the comments, immediately, I think
Speaker 1: people pivot stuff like oh, well that's super glue, isn't
Speaker 1: gonna actually stick to that table based on like the
Speaker 1: ceiling used on that desk, or that lady has blue
Speaker 1: hair and that uses fossil fuel, so she doesn't really
Speaker 1: know what she's talking about, and we completely are skirting
Speaker 1: past the bigger issue, which is this is going to
Speaker 1: lead to fucking earth death. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like
Speaker 1: if you were being held hostage in like a tiny
Speaker 1: cell and your captor is like slowly turning up the
Speaker 1: heat and you're like, I'm gonna die, Like he's like
Speaker 1: turning up the heat. I will die in a matter
Speaker 1: of days, like, and he's live streaming you and you're like,
Speaker 1: could someone please help, I'm being held by a man,
Speaker 1: you know, And then like nobody's paying attention. When you're
Speaker 1: calmly explaining it, like okay, I'm in this situation, and
Speaker 1: like nobody's watching, nobody cares, You're like then you start
Speaker 1: screaming for help, barely anyone paying attention, and then you
Speaker 1: start to do crazy stunts to try to get anyone
Speaker 1: to pay attention to you, and they're they're like, that's
Speaker 1: kind of in poor taste, Like that's not really people
Speaker 1: aren't going to connect to that point. Like doing it
Speaker 1: like that, it's like, well, I'm sorry, do you know
Speaker 1: what the point is, and regardless of whether or not
Speaker 1: you think that their way of doing it is, what
Speaker 1: of or how you would do things? Can you connect
Speaker 1: to how dire the situation is? Because until I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's like the hard part. It's like it's
Speaker 1: so dire. And couple that with a system where people
Speaker 1: feel absolutely powerless, and then you look at like, well,
Speaker 1: our insistence on growth and like capitalist goals in terms
Speaker 1: of making these industries function is only making it worse.
Speaker 1: It just feels like this absurd situation and it and
Speaker 1: it and it's really fucked up. And I think that's
Speaker 1: why so many people want to turn away, because it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I know it's bad. What the fund can I do?
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry that the super glue isn't Should he
Speaker 1: use guerrilla glue? Huh? And I think that's it's I
Speaker 1: think it is important for people who are messaging about
Speaker 1: this to make it clear that it's not actually too
Speaker 1: late to vastly improve quality of life down the road,
Speaker 1: like we're we're It's not like no matter what we
Speaker 1: do now, it doesn't matter, we're all doom. That is
Speaker 1: not the case. That's what's so frustrating is that we
Speaker 1: can do things now. Like obviously, if we really want
Speaker 1: to avert major disasters, we'd have to take very drastic
Speaker 1: change that I'm I'm myself in pretty pessimistic we would
Speaker 1: be able to do. But it's a sliding scale. So like,
Speaker 1: the more stuff we do, the more we reign in emissions,
Speaker 1: the better things are going to be. Yes, like we're
Speaker 1: probably not like it's it's too late to prevent anything
Speaker 1: from happening. Like there's gonna be bad stuff that happens.
Speaker 1: But it's like the difference between hey, some like terrible
Speaker 1: disasters and then just Earth being completely fucked and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's still worth fighting for a livable Earth for
Speaker 1: people to have like a decent quality of life in
Speaker 1: the future. I just it frustrates me when people are
Speaker 1: just like kind of like, well, you know, we're doomed anyways,
Speaker 1: so whatever we might as well, you know, make fun
Speaker 1: of the soup girls. It's just I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: like we're bickering over a board game in a burning house, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're like, well that's not fair. You pass go
Speaker 1: and you should. You weren't supposed to collect two hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: Like the house that we're even playing this dumb shiit
Speaker 1: in is on fire. So none of this actually matters
Speaker 1: because there won't even be a venue for the stupidity
Speaker 1: come a hundred years, come two hundred years. So and
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. I think back to that
Speaker 1: quote from Inger Anderson, which was again saying that only
Speaker 1: a root and branch transformation of our economies and societies
Speaker 1: can save us. And we've seen how much, you know,
Speaker 1: our our way of doing business and our concept of
Speaker 1: economy and is completely poisonous. And that's what makes it
Speaker 1: really hard, is like, well, the people that are in
Speaker 1: leadership at the heights of our economies and societies are
Speaker 1: invested in this completely backwards, disastrous way of running an
Speaker 1: economy or society. So I mean again, obviously that's why
Speaker 1: why the next thing is really about, Well, then it's
Speaker 1: really about mass protests and other ways of you know,
Speaker 1: collective action that I don't know how else it's gonna resonate,
Speaker 1: because you still have people running campaigns or they're truly
Speaker 1: saying stuff like it's not happening. It's just it's all
Speaker 1: blown out of proportion. Yeah, right, And if you don't
Speaker 1: like the actions of climate activists, go out and do
Speaker 1: something better. Like if you're like soup on a van,
Speaker 1: go that's not gonna do anything good for the kind
Speaker 1: of Yeah, like what what will what will get media attention?
Speaker 1: Like we're still talking about the soup girl like other clients,
Speaker 1: like like polite protests do not get attention, So like
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do to get media attention? And
Speaker 1: I'm actually like genuinely like I'm not saying this is
Speaker 1: like a sort of SMARMI gotcha thing, Like if you
Speaker 1: don't like the kind of protest you're seeing, like join
Speaker 1: and join a movement and try to actually put your
Speaker 1: ideas out there for what you think would be a
Speaker 1: good protest, and like you know, I mean it's hard.
Speaker 1: It's just very hard. Yeah. I just think that there
Speaker 1: is a like we're all looking at each other and
Speaker 1: being like fucking do something. You do something, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do something. And like the person who's turning up
Speaker 1: the temperature is actually not in the room. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a billionaire who's going to like own mountaintop
Speaker 1: property or like already bought a fucking island off of
Speaker 1: New Zealand and like got lasic eye surgery to make
Speaker 1: sure that he's ready for the end time. You know,
Speaker 1: like it's yeah, I'm not a billionaire jack. Come on now,
Speaker 1: well all those islands off, you know. It's that that
Speaker 1: was a big trend though, that like there was the
Speaker 1: billionaire tech billionaire survivalist movement was like a big thing
Speaker 1: people were talking about a few years back. And it's
Speaker 1: so like that is that's who needs to change things
Speaker 1: and like yeah, mean, but we we have to figure
Speaker 1: out something to do. But we also have to recognize
Speaker 1: that the people who are causing this problem are not us.
Speaker 1: It is a small group of people. You need to
Speaker 1: be reached and like yeah, and really, I mean ship roun.
Speaker 1: Every day I'm getting closer and closer to like not
Speaker 1: eating meat, Like every it's just so wild. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I fucking love but fucking love beef, fucking America, love
Speaker 1: red meat. I love burgers and ship but when you
Speaker 1: also you look at how much money has been invested
Speaker 1: too from like that industry to be like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: glad they don't even think of our industry as being
Speaker 1: part of this conversation. And they're like fuck yeah, like
Speaker 1: fuck this too, fuck all these things. Uh, and if
Speaker 1: that's what it takes, it is what it is. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, like to your point, it really it
Speaker 1: isn't a it's a bad situation. And you can see
Speaker 1: how people immediately rather than being like damn, they're doing
Speaker 1: all this stuff because it's really that bad, it's just
Speaker 1: some and being like please don't remind me of how
Speaker 1: fucked up it is already, please. Yeah, And that's really
Speaker 1: the that's the place where so many people are operating
Speaker 1: from when really we need to be like, it's fucked up,
Speaker 1: but guess what, it's not too late and ship can
Speaker 1: still be done. So don't get all fucking doomed out
Speaker 1: about it, because if that's the case, you're fully just
Speaker 1: going to just you're gonna welcome it with open arms
Speaker 1: at that point. But at least give yourself the you know,
Speaker 1: take the breath and say there is something that can
Speaker 1: be done. And when I hear about climate change, your
Speaker 1: first thing shouldn't just be to shut down. It's two unfortunately,
Speaker 1: have to be like this is something we aren't talking
Speaker 1: about enough in our leaders are completely um incentivized to
Speaker 1: not in a lot of ins Yeah, Alright, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break because I want to google whether Ingary
Speaker 1: Anderson has ever flown in a private jet so that
Speaker 1: I can feel better about her telling us where fucked.
Speaker 1: But well, we'll be right back to talk slap fighting,
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back and we're back, and you know,
Speaker 1: the story we're just talking about, as we've been discussing
Speaker 1: for a while now, like that this is not a
Speaker 1: an environment to exist in that promotes mental health, like
Speaker 1: just civilization wide, and I think we're seeing, you know,
Speaker 1: we're seeing a new stronger than ever satanic panic. We're
Speaker 1: also seeing the growth of like combat sports and to
Speaker 1: the point that they're like inventing new combat sports. There
Speaker 1: was that clip of the woman in the bare knuckle
Speaker 1: boxing like post fight video, which just looks just you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's brutal. It's one of the most injured human
Speaker 1: beings I've ever witnessed, like speak normally a king, and
Speaker 1: she's giving a cheerful answer about what a great opportunity
Speaker 1: this was, And you know, I feel like that goes
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame with the Jimmy fallon Paris
Speaker 1: Hilton Boardy video of like the Hall of fame of
Speaker 1: Western civilizational collapse, but sort of in before that video,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that bare knuckle boxing was a thing
Speaker 1: outside of like the eighteen hundreds or like yeah, Irish
Speaker 1: beef or like Travelers, like Traveler, But I saw a
Speaker 1: whole documentary about that ship in like Ireland in the
Speaker 1: UK of just like you know, the tradition of bare
Speaker 1: knuckle fighting, and it always ends up looking fucked up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's brutal. It's a brutal, brutal sport or like the
Speaker 1: thing that people used to do that we had left behind.
Speaker 1: But we're seeing this sort of devolution civilizationally and going
Speaker 1: back to these things. And back in March, you may
Speaker 1: have heard about how Arnold Schwarzenegger and Logan Paul had
Speaker 1: teamed up of creating slap fighting Championship. I know, it's
Speaker 1: like that sentence one of one of the worst series
Speaker 1: of words ever seen together. But yeah, so UFC President
Speaker 1: Dana White has his own power slap League he's developing
Speaker 1: after the Nevada Athletic Commission voted to allow the sport,
Speaker 1: presumably because it's cheaper than starting a set each other's
Speaker 1: crotches on fire with a big lighter league. I mean
Speaker 1: that sounds cool though, actually I'm depending on what kind
Speaker 1: of pants you're wearing, there might be like some good
Speaker 1: I don't know, ending synthetic material lights out. Don't do that, please,
Speaker 1: were cotton. They've touted the very safety measures. The league
Speaker 1: has gone to um again. The league, which exists purely
Speaker 1: in the service of showcasing two people taking turns slapping
Speaker 1: each other as hard as they can. They're not allowed
Speaker 1: to like protect yourself. Yeah, if you're not, if you've
Speaker 1: never seen this ship just so like you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: what slap fighting? Are they like in a boxing ring
Speaker 1: and like they're slapping. No, what they do is like
Speaker 1: they pull up to like a fucking arm wrestling type table.
Speaker 1: Were like you brace yourself with one hand and then
Speaker 1: you just have to fucking eat a slap. Some are stood,
Speaker 1: some are seed or like at a table and it's
Speaker 1: just people smack, just coming around on each other, just
Speaker 1: slapping the funk out of each other. Yeah, that you stay,
Speaker 1: you have to stand completely still. Well, you're slapped. It's horrifying. Wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, I think I think Arnold Schwarzenegger has something
Speaker 1: to say after witnessing a major slap. So we just
Speaker 1: saw some dude slap the ship out of another versus Slovakia. Alright, Governor,
Speaker 1: as a weightlifter, does he have an advantage being a
Speaker 1: powerlifter and slap fighting you use? I think it's all
Speaker 1: about the you know, your skills, specific skills. I think
Speaker 1: that everyone has the evil chance. It's just who's the toughest,
Speaker 1: who can take you? Right? Okay? So to skill, it's
Speaker 1: all about the specific skill. Who is tough, who can
Speaker 1: take it? Who has more brain damage that they can
Speaker 1: you know, just rationalize away. Yeah, so so Dana White's
Speaker 1: the whole thing is like boxing matches. You've got guys
Speaker 1: getting hit three punches, So what's the big deal with
Speaker 1: a little slapping? You know, I can see that logic
Speaker 1: from a very childish people are like, oh, shoot, I
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was a doctor. And he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm actually not a doctor. And they were like, oh well,
Speaker 1: maybe we should just like check with a doctor real quick.
Speaker 1: Doctors were like, this is really really a bad idea.
Speaker 1: And my professional opinion, those who partake in this quote
Speaker 1: sport will also suffer suffer the stigmata of chronic neurological injuries.
Speaker 1: Open handed slaps deliver with such force to the opponent's
Speaker 1: face frequently caused the person's legs to buckle at times,
Speaker 1: suffer momentary, sometimes longer loss of consciousness, and collapse to
Speaker 1: the floor. Okay, and this sport was happening in Poland
Speaker 1: and a slap fighter died during a match. What do
Speaker 1: you know what he died? Like? What was the cause
Speaker 1: of death? Like, was it like knocked out several times
Speaker 1: during a fight, then taken to the hospital putting a
Speaker 1: medically induced coma. Died of irreversible damages to the central
Speaker 1: nervous system. Yeah, yeah, probably like brain swelling. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: because when you're there's like this thing. I'm not a
Speaker 1: big physics person, but I think like conservation of momentum.
Speaker 1: So like you're when you when you when your face
Speaker 1: gets hit and like you move around, I think your
Speaker 1: brain kind of moves at a different rate as your skull,
Speaker 1: and so to balk into that and um, and then
Speaker 1: it's back because like when your brain swells, there's not
Speaker 1: anywhere for it to go because it's inside of your skull.
Speaker 1: So then stuff start to get cast squeezed squeezed around,
Speaker 1: and that's bad. And then it bleeds and you can
Speaker 1: you can die. But what's what's I mean? But that's
Speaker 1: three or foes? What's a little direct slaps to your
Speaker 1: temple that repeatedly knock you out? I mean, like even
Speaker 1: in a boxing match, like if you're knocked out, like
Speaker 1: all right, bro, I didn't believe you after that ten count.
Speaker 1: By the way, boxing is not good neither is not
Speaker 1: good for you. But something called c T E Yes,
Speaker 1: this this just feels especially barbaric, especially like the you know,
Speaker 1: you are just serving yourself up, Like the idea that
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to defend yourselves means that like the
Speaker 1: sort of brain trauma that it is the goal of
Speaker 1: good boxing, you know, instruction and talent and skill to
Speaker 1: avoid like is inevitable. It's like you get they get
Speaker 1: three wax at you, and you know, organizers of the
Speaker 1: event where the person died was, we're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's included in the risk associated with the sport discipline.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks Ivan drag Yeah, well I thanks Ivan Drago's lawyer.
Speaker 1: You know what my client means to say when he
Speaker 1: says if he dies, he dies, actually precisely that if
Speaker 1: he dies, he dies. Okay, that was a pretty cool.
Speaker 1: He actually thinks he's a fabric maker. So yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting, like the conspiracy theorist in my
Speaker 1: mind is saying, like, oh, this is like to get
Speaker 1: the masses like accustomed to suffering. It's to get a
Speaker 1: suffering mindset of like I should accept the punches, I
Speaker 1: should accept the slapping. I don't actually believe that, but
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's very disturbing to me, this idea
Speaker 1: of like of like that it is admirable to receive
Speaker 1: pain and take it. That's it's it's messed up. It's
Speaker 1: like it's know that way. I know women also participate
Speaker 1: in this, but it is a form of toxic masculinity
Speaker 1: where it's like like, oh, you should just you should
Speaker 1: just receive physical pain and be cool with it. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: the coolest, the coolest person in this room is the
Speaker 1: one that can endure the most physical abuse. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's the coolest guy here. Yeah. Actually, I've seen this too.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is slightly tangent, but I've seen this
Speaker 1: too with like childbirth, whereas there's this whole thing of
Speaker 1: like of women being proud of like doing it without
Speaker 1: any pain killer. It's like the pain makes it a
Speaker 1: real pregnancy. It's like dude, no, what like no, like
Speaker 1: like get that ship in my spine as fast as possible. Pain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's brutal. And I think it's something that like,
Speaker 1: even if there is that high level conspiracy, people are
Speaker 1: looking for because of you know, just the dark, the
Speaker 1: funked up place that we're we are and are headed
Speaker 1: where there's like violence being done to us, but it
Speaker 1: is like violence that is silent and like you can't
Speaker 1: really see the violence necessarily or it's like hidden and
Speaker 1: so like someone coming out and doing doing the violence
Speaker 1: and the most like straightforward like okay, here it comes
Speaker 1: the big punch that is going to you know, possibly
Speaker 1: kill this person. Everybody watch like we're we're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: make an event of it and you know, let the
Speaker 1: person just line it up. Well yeah, I mean, so
Speaker 1: much of our entertainment is about watching others suffer. Like
Speaker 1: I even find this, like even when I watched like
Speaker 1: my shitty reality TV, like it's to be like, wow,
Speaker 1: these people are completely out of control with their lives
Speaker 1: or they're most like and it's a mess. I mean,
Speaker 1: is the number one piece of entertainment of like the
Speaker 1: past five six months. It's you know, our JM submitted
Speaker 1: a story about how it's like one of the the
Speaker 1: big Halloween costumes this year is dam Like they're on Etsy,
Speaker 1: like so most most of the most of the you know,
Speaker 1: official stores. They're like, well that's not good, and the
Speaker 1: victims face Halloween sex isn't quite a thing, but people
Speaker 1: are selling what people are selling costumes on Etsy, they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, blond wig jumpsuit, and then they're also selling
Speaker 1: the Dahmer glasses so on eBay. So it's like that's
Speaker 1: I think, like when when that trailer first came out,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Like, how how could
Speaker 1: they possibly think that people would want to watch this
Speaker 1: to distract us from our own suffering, you know, to
Speaker 1: watch other sufferings just you can you like, you can
Speaker 1: rationalize what you're going through and be like, well, it's
Speaker 1: not at least I'm not getting murdered by this guy,
Speaker 1: or at least I'm not in this situation. At least
Speaker 1: I'm not getting slapped to ship. But that motherfucker is old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what I hear a lot about about, like
Speaker 1: true crimes. People will listen to it or watch it
Speaker 1: like when they're trying to sleep or relax. And I
Speaker 1: mean I've even done that where I'll be like watching
Speaker 1: some kind of like like crime documentary. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: I feel really relaxed watching this. Why Like it's a
Speaker 1: terrible thing, and it's yeah, I think it is because
Speaker 1: it is shutting off your own anxieties and stress because
Speaker 1: you're like, well, at least I'm not being murdered right now.
Speaker 1: Cannibalism is also, I think a metaphor that really appeals
Speaker 1: to the American mind because we are essentially like cannibalizing
Speaker 1: each other and that like that's kind of what America
Speaker 1: is is like feeding on and it's especially in the
Speaker 1: case of Dahmert, feeding on like people who are unprotected
Speaker 1: from like by society, and just like people people complain,
Speaker 1: people reach out to the authorities and say there's something
Speaker 1: fucked up happening here, and and nothing happens. So mean,
Speaker 1: I can see at a metaphorical level, like how this
Speaker 1: I don't think that's how people are watching it. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're like this is why I'm actually watching right.
Speaker 1: I think there is something that probably rhymes with like
Speaker 1: some of the dark ship that's happening in people's unconscious mind,
Speaker 1: you know, and then we're just, God, I have anxiety?
Speaker 1: What Why do I have? What do I feel? Why
Speaker 1: are you so freaked out? What do you what do
Speaker 1: you do all day? Well? I read like really weird
Speaker 1: crime reports from the local news. Then I watched True crime,
Speaker 1: and then I know I'm unable to look at another
Speaker 1: human being without having it caught up with all this
Speaker 1: other media I've ingested, so kind of like in a
Speaker 1: constant fear cycle. And even if you're not doing that,
Speaker 1: you still have the reality to tangle with that we
Speaker 1: are in a world where that there is a gun
Speaker 1: pointed at us and people could do something to stop it,
Speaker 1: and they're just they're just not because rich people have
Speaker 1: too much money at steak. Yeah, having a tangible monster
Speaker 1: is a lot like I'm not saying it's good, obviously
Speaker 1: it's not. But having a tangible monsters at least easier
Speaker 1: to conceptualize than something that is far more sort of
Speaker 1: like disperse, you know, Like the monster is the fact
Speaker 1: that you know, wealth, inequality, capitalism, consumerism, those things like
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it's hard to conceptualize that as
Speaker 1: a threat to you, whereas it's like, you know, scary
Speaker 1: guy with a knife. It's like, I know what this is.
Speaker 1: I can conceive of that like, yeah, let's a relief.
Speaker 1: And on the subject of problematic Halloween costumes, jam also
Speaker 1: wrote about the sexy nurse costume, which is just something
Speaker 1: that I had sort of taken for granted, since you
Speaker 1: know that that's been a thing for as long as
Speaker 1: my brain was, you know, storing memories. Obviously, like the
Speaker 1: sexy costume trend has expanded to the point that now
Speaker 1: they're are multiple retailers selling a sexy Hamburglar costume for
Speaker 1: some reason. I mean that just makes sense, right. I
Speaker 1: think we've all always wanted to steal steals burgers and
Speaker 1: my heart, But the sexy nurse has like been sort
Speaker 1: of a lynch pin of this movement, and it's been
Speaker 1: going on for a long long time. Like it goes
Speaker 1: back to I guess that used to be a thing
Speaker 1: that was associated between like like when the police would
Speaker 1: arrest somebody like a sex worker, one of the options
Speaker 1: they would have available to them was to either like
Speaker 1: go to jail or nursing. And people have just like
Speaker 1: associated the nurse with like sexualizing, you know, dehumanizing ideals,
Speaker 1: and so Quebec's Professional Order of Nurses launched a campaign
Speaker 1: to fight back against this, and you know, they pointed
Speaker 1: out that nurses are constantly being like this contributes to
Speaker 1: the sexualizing of nurses, and nurses actually are like sexually
Speaker 1: harassed at a shockingly high level. Between sixty and eighty
Speaker 1: seven percent of nurses experienced sexual harassment at work, according
Speaker 1: to a two thousand sick Terature review, and a two
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen poll found that out of five sixty nine nurses,
Speaker 1: seventy one had been harassed that had been harassed by
Speaker 1: a patient. Yeah. Yeah, I mean you have friends and nursing,
Speaker 1: and like it was so normal of like dealing with
Speaker 1: like if you're like a woman and a nurse and
Speaker 1: like some infirmed, creepy dude. I've I've definitely heard how
Speaker 1: how like normal it is and also how sort of
Speaker 1: used to it they are to where they're like they're
Speaker 1: like and I'm like, well what do you do? And
Speaker 1: they're like, we're just Half the time, somebody might be
Speaker 1: super fucked up or like beyond like meds or something,
Speaker 1: so they're subdued and it's just more like okay, okay, yeah, sure, sure, sure,
Speaker 1: and other times like it's like sure it does get
Speaker 1: bad where they're like I have like now I need
Speaker 1: security involved here because this person is fully trying to
Speaker 1: like assault me. Yeah, and it sounds just awful, but
Speaker 1: also just like really weird in the sense of sort
Speaker 1: of being like, yeah, it happens, is like sort of
Speaker 1: shorthand yeah, I mean it's It's interesting too, because I
Speaker 1: think nursing has seen so much as like a a
Speaker 1: like a feminine profession because it has to do with caretaking,
Speaker 1: taking care of someone, and therefore it's also kind of
Speaker 1: like devalued in a way where it's like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is you know, this is essentially like women's work where
Speaker 1: you take care of someone rather than the highly technical
Speaker 1: field that it is that saves lives. And also the
Speaker 1: fact that it is not it is not inherently a
Speaker 1: gendered profession, but we kind of have that like we
Speaker 1: put that on it right where it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's someone taking care of someone, and
Speaker 1: so that's like a that's a feminine job. That's a
Speaker 1: you know, sort of a woman's job, and so anything
Speaker 1: that as that I think will be like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that maybe. What you know, I think
Speaker 1: like men sometimes get made it fun of for being nurses,
Speaker 1: Like what this is like a this is a serious profession,
Speaker 1: like what it psych you know and medical professional. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a serious medical profession. And it's like I think
Speaker 1: that must have a lot to do with it as well,
Speaker 1: where whenever we have a field where it's associated with
Speaker 1: women or or femininity, it is like we either see
Speaker 1: it as frivolous and silly or we sexualize it or both.
Speaker 1: Especially this is a time like when the male patient
Speaker 1: is feeling vulnerable, right if they're in medical care, you know,
Speaker 1: their their health is in questions, So this becomes a
Speaker 1: way for like male patients to cope with feelings of
Speaker 1: helplessness and self consciousness of their masculinity being threatened and right,
Speaker 1: So like yeah, it's it's perfect. Yeah, it's a perfect storm.
Speaker 1: But like it would be great if we could stop
Speaker 1: contributing to it by making like every every Halloween having
Speaker 1: like sexy nurse be one of the one of the
Speaker 1: top Halloween costumes. That's why you're going to sexy green
Speaker 1: Goblin this year? Right, I am going to sexy we
Speaker 1: in goblin. But that's that. That was I couldn't help it.
Speaker 1: I put on the costume and it don't sexy. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Said? Whoa you sexy green goblin.
Speaker 1: You're like the bag. It just says regular green coblumes.
Speaker 1: I can't help it. For the good news is so
Speaker 1: in light of the pandemic, costume retailer Yandy reportedly considered
Speaker 1: yanking the sexy nurse costumes, but in the end decided
Speaker 1: to sell them anyway. But because of COVID, they put
Speaker 1: them in the superhero category of their website. So I
Speaker 1: think we've had it kind of buried the lead. So
Speaker 1: they did solve this problem. Oh no, no, we'll take
Speaker 1: it out of sexy category. It's a superhero category now,
Speaker 1: Buckable Mommy and medical outfit. What well, Katie, such a
Speaker 1: pleasure having you as always? Uh? Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Follow you? All that good stuff? Yeah? So, like you
Speaker 1: said earlier, I have my very own podcast called Creature Feature.
Speaker 1: I talk about animals. Uh, and just like the kind
Speaker 1: of mind blowing behaviors that they have that can be creepy, weird, scary, cute,
Speaker 1: or very oddly human like you can find me on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Katie Golden. That's k A T I E
Speaker 1: G O L D I. N Uh my ancestors felled
Speaker 1: it wrong and uh yeah and and yeah pro bird
Speaker 1: Rights is is a bird on Twitter mentioning that for
Speaker 1: no reason have you gotten swept up in the like
Speaker 1: birds aren't real movement? Uh? What a tiresome little petty
Speaker 1: movement they are. Yeah, I have a really like felt
Speaker 1: like I need to even dignify them with a response
Speaker 1: because it's so clearly false, Like they think I'm taking
Speaker 1: government money to like send out bird drones. That's that's ridiculous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to picket sure that you have those
Speaker 1: talking points somewhere ready to mean half of the kids
Speaker 1: at that one rally and like these kids are just
Speaker 1: sucking stupid and they just like that they're at the
Speaker 1: stupid fest. Right, let's turn up for the same turn up.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, y'all think it definitely started as like
Speaker 1: a work of satire that has turned into something much stupider.
Speaker 1: Do people actually believe? I didn't think anyone actually believed it.
Speaker 1: I thought it was just like a joke. Oh, I
Speaker 1: thought I think with any wacky net you throw out,
Speaker 1: you're gonna catch some some freaks on the way, people
Speaker 1: like you know what. I was just saying this thank
Speaker 1: you carry that comes to that one do Terry that's
Speaker 1: at all this stuff? I think he actually believes it.
Speaker 1: I thought, is that like how Q and on started?
Speaker 1: Kind of like most people thought it was sort of
Speaker 1: a joke and then it turned into a real thing?
Speaker 1: Or am I wrong about that? I think it's how
Speaker 1: a lot of things start. I think it's like scientology
Speaker 1: started as like a bet between Ron Hubbard and like
Speaker 1: a friend to see how many people you could trick.
Speaker 1: And I was like, actually, this turns out to be
Speaker 1: really profitable. Yeah. Is there a tweet or some of
Speaker 1: the work of social media you've been enjoying. It is
Speaker 1: a tweet by Talbart of Jordan Peterson's extremely real words Here.
Speaker 1: I live inside this cube suspended about two ft off
Speaker 1: the ground. There's no escaping it. I'm not in the room.
Speaker 1: I shifted to the Harry Potter to mention I'm playing
Speaker 1: quidditch with Michael Angelo on the Starship Enterprise and I'm
Speaker 1: whipping out my little ball. So you get sucked off.
Speaker 1: Had sex with your mother fifty times. All of those
Speaker 1: fifty times your mother talpped I was at the bottom.
