Speaker 1: eleven Veterans Day, you know, like it was at the
Speaker 1: eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Speaker 1: I used to play so many Veterans Day of things
Speaker 1: at Forest Lawn Memorial because I was a school band.
Speaker 1: Also National Sunday Day. You feel like they missed it.
Speaker 1: But it's Sunday Day. Yeah, I mean for for a

Speaker 1: shout out to all the veterans out there, and yeah,
Speaker 1: my kids are home from school, so it's it is
Speaker 1: Veterans Day in this household. Did you ever did you
Speaker 1: get I didn't really get Veterans Off still on high
Speaker 1: school I went to and it was like one off
Speaker 1: once I remember, and it wasn't there. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: I mean, kid, you need rest. I think that's the
Speaker 1: main thing here for any day off. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 1: I was like all Saints Day, like why don't you
Speaker 1: like Catholic high school? And like fuck yes, all the Saints,
Speaker 1: all the fleet and eleven plus eleven equals two eleven
Speaker 1: eleven twenty two. So I mean there's like probably some
Speaker 1: numerology ship that your audible numerologists would be happy to
Speaker 1: talk to you about. Robbin from the rehearsal reach out
Speaker 1: to him National Robin Day ended up on upright on
Speaker 1: miracle status. Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien, a k Crispity
Speaker 1: crunch itty appples Jack. That is courtesy of my dumb brain.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the listeners who chimed in sharing your
Speaker 1: truth that you actually like mush apples, or that some
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, my my significant other likes red
Speaker 1: delicious apple. That's a real problem. We I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't deal, but I do want to
Speaker 1: shout out Cassie who said, I'm so sorry to report
Speaker 1: that I'm a soft apple stand in fact, I get
Speaker 1: an apple that is too hard, I punch it. If
Speaker 1: I get an apple that is too hard to punch it,
Speaker 1: something I've done since I was a kid, saying it,
Speaker 1: saying it out loud. Now it's embarrassing. I don't think
Speaker 1: you should be embarrassed. Do your truth. If your preferred version,
Speaker 1: your platonic ideal of an apple is just a bag
Speaker 1: of apple sauce and an apple skin bag, good, good
Speaker 1: for you. I'm glad to know for me that y'all exist.
Speaker 1: The punching is interesting, though, Yeah, I mean, look, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to psychoanalyze that, but you know what, go ahead,
Speaker 1: you know, as long as they are the right texture
Speaker 1: for you, get it how you need. I did start
Speaker 1: psychoanalyzing all these people in my head. I was like,
Speaker 1: I bet they had at a young age an apple
Speaker 1: that wasn't ripe yet, and that like sucked them for
Speaker 1: crispy apples forever, because now they're like, the only safe
Speaker 1: apple is an apple that yields to my teeth immediately. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
Speaker 1: Mr Miles Miles Gray, And I'm sorry, but the Cold
Speaker 1: Play a k s keep coming. Light produce up above,
Speaker 1: have you once down below? When it's cereal, you just
Speaker 1: let it go. But if you never check out, They'll
Speaker 1: never know just what your cards were, and itch, will
Speaker 1: godde your bones, oh home and ignited your bones, and
Speaker 1: I will try to find my wallet. That's based on
Speaker 1: the you know, terrible experience of for getting your wallet
Speaker 1: at the grocery store. Do you put stuff back? Or
Speaker 1: do just ditched the cart and vanish journey guided along
Speaker 1: by a cold Play song another one that I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel like maybe I just don't like
Speaker 1: cold Play or have managed this is one of the
Speaker 1: most over you for me. I didn't. I was I
Speaker 1: really wasn't knowing what Coldplay was really till this song,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, this song that's in
Speaker 1: every promo package for like a sporting event. They always
Speaker 1: use it at the end with the lights will go.
Speaker 1: Never mind. Anyway, we're doing the same conversation we did
Speaker 1: when I did this a k last time. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Piroke. Was this another? Is this the same Coldplay songs? Okay?
Speaker 1: I was lying when I said I was gonna go
Speaker 1: listen to it. I apologize, Miles. We are thrilled to
Speaker 1: be joined in our third seat by a very funny
Speaker 1: stand up comic, writer, actor, and host of the new
Speaker 1: podcast Parenting as a joke. Please welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Oh Fear Eisenberg. Hello, Miles and Jack, Welcome. I am
Speaker 1: I have a hardcore, hardcore crunchy apple stands. Yeah, as
Speaker 1: I said it, I was like, you know what, that's
Speaker 1: the apple is going to be very pleased. Twitter core
Speaker 1: can be soft, but that outside better be crapy apple people,
Speaker 1: what happened to you? Yeah? That is in your mind.
Speaker 1: A soft apple would immediately signal to my brain something
Speaker 1: is wrong with this, Like I don't continue a bite
Speaker 1: when the first one isn't like if it's like, I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, and if you are hitting your fruit, you
Speaker 1: need to take a deeper dive into your psyche of
Speaker 1: what that's about. I actually appreciate that because I I
Speaker 1: have like weird food rituals that I can't think of
Speaker 1: right now, but like I I could totally if I
Speaker 1: was into soft apples, I would be doing that. I
Speaker 1: actually feel like it's not out of anger. It's just
Speaker 1: like get the food exactly how you want it, and
Speaker 1: you haven't like refined the process since child it when
Speaker 1: first like I punch it? Yeah, yeah, I fear where
Speaker 1: are you coming to us from? I'm coming to you
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn, New York, hot of hotbed of fun. It's
Speaker 1: good fun. And I'm hearing some sirens in the background.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know they're I like her medically seal
Speaker 1: every opening of this entire apartment. Yet still, yeah, let
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn in. You know. I feel like if we
Speaker 1: were cutting to you in a like Marvel movie, and
Speaker 1: it's like, how do we let them know that this
Speaker 1: is truly Gotham city? This is truly Also, I feel like,
Speaker 1: because I'm in Brooklyn, I'm just surrounded by podcasters. I'm
Speaker 1: sure every single person here is like, y, it is funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how often we're like where you like? Brooklyn? Totally noticed that? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I wonder if anyone's ever been seen into a podcast
Speaker 1: recorded in Brooklyn and heard another podcast they listened to
Speaker 1: bleeding in through the wall like okay, wait a second
Speaker 1: next to each other. Yes, it's happened to me. I
Speaker 1: was talking to someone in a podcast because just like
Speaker 1: you heard an ambulance, it was like just a really
Speaker 1: loud motorcycle, but we both heard it. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: where do you live? And it was within the block. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We're like we could have met in person, but now right, right, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there'll be some fan who's like trying to hear the
Speaker 1: same siren and it's like based on the Doppler effect
Speaker 1: from this recording in that one I have and what
Speaker 1: I've seen from radio calls around there to this intersection
Speaker 1: like the seeing in Fugitive where they're like analyzing the
Speaker 1: phone call. I could I could definitely see a podcast
Speaker 1: fan like triangulating a location with that sort of science. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: If Hey, if we have the kind of peril social relationships,
Speaker 1: I think we do get a better time to that.
Speaker 1: All right, if you're we're going to get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna just check in for a bracing cup of
Speaker 1: hot Fox news. Cope, We're going to just just listen
Speaker 1: to them freaking out about the results of the mid term.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the New York Times and how
Speaker 1: they are covering the good news for progressives, which seems
Speaker 1: like they're ignoring a lot of it. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. Then if we have time, we might even
Speaker 1: get into a preview of a couple holiday classics in
Speaker 1: the making coming from Netflix, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first off, fair, we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Okay, So I'm
Speaker 1: starting to travel again, you know, touring during doing stand up,
Speaker 1: and because I haven't done it in a little while,
Speaker 1: I find hotel rooms. I never loved them, but I
Speaker 1: never thought about them, but now I'm I just I
Speaker 1: want to make them better. Anyways, So I was looking
Speaker 1: at like hotel room hacks, like how to make your
Speaker 1: hotel of a better experience because I'm not staying in
Speaker 1: for four seasons. Let me just point that out. Yeah
Speaker 1: that though, you're like, because the Four Seasons is an
Speaker 1: absolute horror show? Yeah, how do I dial up this
Speaker 1: experience to make it like a little more comforting? Right right? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for a Hampton in you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So one of the things I find, especially if you're
Speaker 1: talking all the time, is like humidity. I find hotel
Speaker 1: rooms super dry. So I was like, there's got to
Speaker 1: be some people talking about hotel humid of higher hacks. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: turns out like there's many people who tackled this issue,
Speaker 1: right the internet comes through where exactly where we would
Speaker 1: expect to like what is the most what is the
Speaker 1: one hotel room hack that, like, what is the one
Speaker 1: that you are Now you're like, okay, I'm definitely bringing
Speaker 1: that into So I kind of want to try this
Speaker 1: humidifier one. So you have to have binder clips, Like
Speaker 1: you need to bring a clip with you, some sort
Speaker 1: of clip, and then you're supposed to grab one of
Speaker 1: their hand towels or face towels and just soak it,
Speaker 1: ring it out and then clip it to the outside
Speaker 1: of whatever air event is in your room. And it
Speaker 1: should basically, as they said, make the air like moist
Speaker 1: and uh yeah moistened feel good. So it seems it
Speaker 1: seems like an over promise there, sure, but I'm gonna trying.
Speaker 1: In my mind, I would do something that would cause
Speaker 1: like some terrible plumbing things like yeah, I just need
Speaker 1: the shower running all night right full steam. What I
Speaker 1: assumed was going to be the answer, And in fact,
Speaker 1: I've done that before. Oh yeah, I do that just
Speaker 1: for all my clothes. I'm like, time to go to
Speaker 1: the dry leader. Oh yeah, that's right, Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: that for clothes. If I heard that somewhere and have
Speaker 1: just assumed that it was, you know, gospel. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a colossal waste of water, and we'll like, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Come. Yeah, these rooms aren't so dry. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to use up all the portable water in
Speaker 1: the area. Thank you, thank you. And also one time
Speaker 1: I got a lot of splash on my on my
Speaker 1: clothes and they were too wet to wear. So they're like,
Speaker 1: I didn't get p on these pants. I was trying
Speaker 1: to steam them in the bathroom. They're like, okay, dude.
Speaker 1: No one even asked, Oh, since you travel so much.
Speaker 1: I was asked because as somebody who's been lived in
Speaker 1: a lot of hotels and work and things like that,
Speaker 1: do you have a relationship with Mario Lopez? You know,
Speaker 1: always this is I've always like, how much money are you? An?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to know. I don't who else
Speaker 1: has that kind of ubiquity, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: if you turn on a fucking TV in the United
Speaker 1: States in a hotel, the first fucking guy you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear it's like, Hey, it's Mario Lopez. I'm like talking
Speaker 1: to you about the hotel and the brand and all
Speaker 1: the great things, so uplifting, how the television works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just there's something I feel it's wild. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm really like, were you paid seventeen million dollars or
Speaker 1: are you mad because you got paid like six bucks? Whatever?
Speaker 1: What is what something that you think is overrated? Okay,
Speaker 1: probably unpopular, but I'm I'm doubling down this, especially because
Speaker 1: I live in Brooklyn. Beyond Burger not a fan, Okay,
Speaker 1: Like I'm am I fan of a plant based diet
Speaker 1: because of all the good things that comes with it,
Speaker 1: including health and probably uh doing the best thing you
Speaker 1: can for this planet. Yes, but Beyond Burger is grown,
Speaker 1: let's just say, in a lab, right, Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: bothers you. Yeah yeah, because part of you just well
Speaker 1: you know, and you know when you cut it Beyond Burger,
Speaker 1: it bleeds. So that's like that's the thing why it's
Speaker 1: sort of tasty. It's like mimicking meat. Anyways. I just
Speaker 1: think the whole thing is I think we hail it
Speaker 1: as to be this kind of something that is so
Speaker 1: like we say plant based makes it sound like it
Speaker 1: was grown and cut, but that has grown in a lab.
Speaker 1: They figured out how to make it bleed. You know,
Speaker 1: because all the vegetarians are like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: miss murder exactly. I can't watch an artichoke card. Stop,
Speaker 1: do we know what the blood is from? Like? What
Speaker 1: have they even? In red meat it's called mild globin
Speaker 1: or whatever comes out. Yeah, so they mean, I know
Speaker 1: it's not blood, but like what how do they how
Speaker 1: do they create such an effect? I'm I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the nicest way to say it is that it
Speaker 1: is like extracted and then injected. But it might just
Speaker 1: be a chemic co reaction. I don't know, mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there's there's something they've figured out. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's the the draw that I think
Speaker 1: for some people is more for like people who would
Speaker 1: never like who don't normally eat plant based and it's like, hey, idiot,
Speaker 1: you like burger right, yeah, okay, fucking try this? Oh
Speaker 1: wow yeah and look that wasn't fucking beef. Can you
Speaker 1: do that for a couple of days a week so
Speaker 1: we don't fuck this whole planet over? But there is
Speaker 1: I feel like there is, like I've I've read that there.
Speaker 1: I guess like the appeal is like maybe starting to
Speaker 1: wane um because people just get into other kinds of
Speaker 1: plant based diets. But yeah, yeah, Also it's not like
Speaker 1: it's less expensive. You know, the the Kobe beef burger
Speaker 1: is eleven dollars and then the Beyond Burger is eleven fifty.
Speaker 1: You're like, right, I think I feel like they're Yeah,
Speaker 1: it hails from a like technocratic impulse where like technology
Speaker 1: fixes everything, We're we're good here that I think it's
Speaker 1: probably in the process of dying out a little bit,
Speaker 1: like it's you know, it's been it's been on the
Speaker 1: decline for a long time. We we talked about it
Speaker 1: with respect to like Iron Man and Elon Musk, like
Speaker 1: that that whole impulse. But I don't know, I made
Speaker 1: peace with the fact that every food that I've ever
Speaker 1: eaten was constructed in a lab. But because like that's
Speaker 1: like food, Nacho cheese, Derito's were have been have had
Speaker 1: more like R and D and like hours of education
Speaker 1: dumped into their creation that like to make sure that
Speaker 1: their mouth feel is like satisfying and yet leaves you
Speaker 1: wanting more. And I'm like, yeah, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is what we do. This is the height of
Speaker 1: Western civilization as currently defined. Unfortunately, so I might as
Speaker 1: well partake in it and like the Beyond I guess
Speaker 1: the fact that the Beyond Burger kind of no matter
Speaker 1: how hard I tried, no matter where I look, there's
Speaker 1: no nacho che Doritos on like artisanal menus. So I
Speaker 1: I feel you there though, Soon's right, well, like it's
Speaker 1: in like farm farm to table fresh restaurants with Beyond Burger,
Speaker 1: and it's like this, this was might as well be
Speaker 1: delivered to you by someone in a white coat. But
Speaker 1: it's yeah, Dorito's. It's the Dorito's at the plant based diet.
Speaker 1: I mean that's true. I've never opened up in my
Speaker 1: entire life bag of Doritos and thought, are these old? Right?
Speaker 1: Like fresh off the whatever press? Can I conceptualize even
Speaker 1: four of the ingredients that are on the back? Sugar
Speaker 1: that's the only one I can guarantee? Hey, corn, corn,
Speaker 1: There you go. What is something you think is underrated? Okay,
Speaker 1: another food thing? And I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: talk about food things, but here we go. On election night,
Speaker 1: I was too nervous to cook, so we ardered pizza.
Speaker 1: We kind of over ordered pizza, which is what I
Speaker 1: love to do. And then it's been a while, but
Speaker 1: the next morning, I was rushed and I just took
Speaker 1: a piece out of the fridge of cold pizza with
Speaker 1: the cheese in that sort of hard sheath that it
Speaker 1: was made on the top, and I shoved it in
Speaker 1: my mouth and I was like, this is heaven. But
Speaker 1: this I mean, and I was like, I could sell
Speaker 1: this for as a breakfast at an artisanal farm to
Speaker 1: table joint in Brooklyn because it's so good. And he
Speaker 1: could even just double down on what it is, because
Speaker 1: that it would seem like ironic to be like cold pizza. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he caught about last night, and what's that. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's a cold pizza slice. Man's just candle wax hard.
Speaker 1: That's that's what you're here for. I love cold pizza.
Speaker 1: I mean it was like it's for the longest time
Speaker 1: I would either I hated how the microwave would just
Speaker 1: turn the fucking crust to like a weapon. And then
Speaker 1: once I started doing the show with Jack, he swears
Speaker 1: by his pan method of reheating, so like, I've started
Speaker 1: to reheat my pizza slices better, but I still love
Speaker 1: like would just rip it out of the zip block
Speaker 1: because you threw them all the slices in a zip
Speaker 1: block the night before and just have that first slice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good. It's like the ingredients found each other in
Speaker 1: that fridge at night right, exactly up. That's a higher quality.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Let's talk some news and we're back, and I think
Speaker 1: it's time to check in with Fox News again. It's
Speaker 1: it's always nice. Look how they're reacting to bad news
Speaker 1: for their party. Love a little fascist freak out. I
Speaker 1: think we can have a little Fox News rage as
Speaker 1: a little treat for everybody this Friday morning. Why not,
Speaker 1: because they are still angrily dealing with what the heck
Speaker 1: happened in these mid terms. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: red wave. Here's a fantastic supercut from Katabu on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I can't believe John Federman wall this is in fact
Speaker 1: bad for the Democrats. They're gonna misread. This is like, oh,
Speaker 1: we want Joe Biden was not punished this morning. Had
Speaker 1: there been a big red wave, everybody would be going
Speaker 1: blame Joe Biden. Can't say that. You can't say that
Speaker 1: right now. It's still a win for pro lifers. This
Speaker 1: new generation is totally brandwashed. When we just owned the Libs.
Speaker 1: We didn't win those races. This is not a surprise.
Speaker 1: We knew it would be extremely tight. We got the
Speaker 1: Red Way, the Red Tide, whatever it was, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter at this point. They're always going to spend things
Speaker 1: against this. Single women and voters under forty have been
Speaker 1: captured by Democrats. So we need these ladies to get married. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've been saying that for years, right, Yeah, So that's
Speaker 1: they're they're starting like they're having a they're having an
Speaker 1: interesting week. There was one where Tucker Carlson, I think
Speaker 1: night last night or the day before, he was like, now,
Speaker 1: what happens to all these people who we gave millions
Speaker 1: of dollars to? Like he's he's so mad at likes
Speaker 1: going to I don't know what it is. I think
Speaker 1: I think he's more speaking on behalf of probably these
Speaker 1: mega downers that he convinced to go all in on
Speaker 1: these mid terms, like this terrible fucking point hand and
Speaker 1: is now trying to put put it at someone else's
Speaker 1: feet when let's be real, like him and Hannity have
Speaker 1: some pretty outsized power in terms of how the GOP
Speaker 1: might speak. I mean, can we also just have a
Speaker 1: moment to recognize that. I guess it's gen z. They
Speaker 1: do not do surveys. Too many surveys, too many surveys
Speaker 1: already in their life. They're like, I'm not, dude, a survey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I don't pick up calls from my fucking Graham. Yeah, survey,
Speaker 1: we'll show up. Yeah. I mean, although I you know,
Speaker 1: I do think just yelling, yelling at your viewers is
Speaker 1: the way that they've always energized their party, So I
Speaker 1: would really which I feel like it's all part of this,
Speaker 1: you know, basically dominant submissive relationship they all have with
Speaker 1: each other, and now they're just it's like, how do
Speaker 1: you what are you doing? You guys? Bad bad bad bad,
Speaker 1: and so everyone could be like okay, and like it
Speaker 1: will it will actually energize them. So I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit I I just see that, and I get I
Speaker 1: want to revel in it, but it concerns me. Well.
Speaker 1: I think it is interesting though, is how few people
Speaker 1: who like Republicans actually did lose elections. They didn't go
Speaker 1: straight to the full shit thing, which is interesting. I'm
Speaker 1: like a lot of people suspect that it could be
Speaker 1: because of like the lawsuits that are hanging around, and
Speaker 1: like potential other legal issues that might arise from that
Speaker 1: kind of like election denialism, that may have hampered the
Speaker 1: appetite to do that. But that was one thing I
Speaker 1: was fully like, Okay, because before we heard like people
Speaker 1: in certain countries like we already want an audit of
Speaker 1: the vote, like before election day. So that felt like
Speaker 1: a preview of things to come. But it hasn't quite
Speaker 1: materialized in the way I had feared. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: super cut. I forget who said it, but just the
Speaker 1: and Biden wasn't punished totally sounds Yeah, that was totally
Speaker 1: sounds like when the Grinch is mad that the Christmas
Speaker 1: still went on. Yeah, it came with no ribbons, came
Speaker 1: with no books. Yeah, here's the sound of singing. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: So let's talk about because I also feel like there's
Speaker 1: a inability to cope with what we've seen in some
Speaker 1: you know, more local but very like yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: also in the Fetterman race, but like progressive values had
Speaker 1: a really good day at the pole, and specifically like
Speaker 1: the crime wave narrative that I think a lot of
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, even though they're supposedly liberal they really
Speaker 1: bought into this that like crime wave is going to
Speaker 1: scare voters. We must democrats, must double down on police,
Speaker 1: must do this, and like it's been just a persistent
Speaker 1: narrative ever since Chase A. Bootine in San Francisco, like
Speaker 1: was recalled. The media has been like progressive politics is
Speaker 1: a loser, it's a it's a wave, We're all fucked,
Speaker 1: and that that just really hasn't born out. But we're
Speaker 1: still not really seeing that messaging breakthrough. No, it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting again, no one's really talking. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of progressive days that either were elected or reelected across
Speaker 1: the country, you know, like this is like like Philly, Chicago, Iowa, Texas,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, like a whole assortment of states from red
Speaker 1: to purple to blue. You know, they had it all
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma City. I just want to point out to
Speaker 1: not necessarily a place or like Iowa, Texas where the
Speaker 1: shorthand of the media is like, oh woke bastion, Like
Speaker 1: you know, San Francisco, although like that one with Boudine
Speaker 1: was a little bit of an out liar because San
Speaker 1: Francisco is like a little more of a unique quantity
Speaker 1: when you look at electoral politics billionaires like per square
Speaker 1: mile of any locations. Most people are like, it's all dreadlocks,
Speaker 1: and so like, no, it isn't. But anyway, in many
Speaker 1: of these areas though, where progressive days were elected or
Speaker 1: reelected there, they also have significant minority populations, and those
Speaker 1: are the communities that tend to experience much of the
Speaker 1: crime firsthand. So they are truly the ones too when
Speaker 1: they're voting, are the ones seeing like, man, this kind
Speaker 1: of fucked up policy does not work. In fact, it's
Speaker 1: so regressive it actually just feels like people are just
Speaker 1: held in captivity for money, which they are. I want
Speaker 1: to put this quote from law professor Laura bas Alone,
Speaker 1: who's from the University of San Francisco, was on Democracy
Speaker 1: Now this morning. She said, was sort of describing what
Speaker 1: is happening. Is this quote this understanding said, I think
Speaker 1: what all this tells you is that this experiment, this
Speaker 1: experiment with criminal justice reformed this understanding that we can't
Speaker 1: incarcerate our way to safety, that the kind of cruelty
Speaker 1: that some of these punishments are exerting on people to
Speaker 1: no good effect. And then the other additional problems like
Speaker 1: wrongful conviction or just criminalizing poverty so that rich people
Speaker 1: who are dangerous can buy their way out, but poor
Speaker 1: people have to stay inside. That there are a lot
Speaker 1: voters who realize that none of these policies are humane,
Speaker 1: just or effective. Yeah. Well, and I think just also,
Speaker 1: like just let's turn a complete blind eye to all
Speaker 1: the white color crime, like it is so focused so
Speaker 1: specific on you know, basically a poor person, a poor
Speaker 1: or a crazy person is going to shoot you. That's it, right,
Speaker 1: rob you and shoot your assault you and shoot you
Speaker 1: whatever that is, and that that's it, and and why
Speaker 1: is that? You know, well that gets a little muddy.
Speaker 1: But all all of the white color crime, all of
Speaker 1: that is just always sort of like no, no, that's
Speaker 1: under control, which is because you could, yeah, like you could,
Speaker 1: you could probably drop pretty interesting lines to like corporate
Speaker 1: profit hearing and poverty to the people they're like and
Speaker 1: then those people are like, oh, I'm poor and violent.
Speaker 1: I think the real violence is actually happening in the
Speaker 1: c suites of a lot of these corporations. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I was just in, uh, I was in took my
Speaker 1: son because it was day off school to the mat
Speaker 1: and just looking, you know, there's still some of the
Speaker 1: galleries are the Sackler Galleries. And we all know about
Speaker 1: the Sacklers and their involvement in profiting so highly off
Speaker 1: of oxycode and and selling opiates and marketing that, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think there was there was definitely something
Speaker 1: talked about were those people? Yeah, is why isn't that
Speaker 1: a story every single day? You know? Of course, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: when we have such like media consolidation with the billionaire class,
Speaker 1: like they know, it's like, dude, that's the people, the
Speaker 1: guys who owned this place, they might not want stories
Speaker 1: like that coming out of talk about the poor people,
Speaker 1: all right. They affectively marketed and created a problem that
Speaker 1: is still killing hundreds of thousands of people, like killing
Speaker 1: people every day in the local media. And instead the
Speaker 1: local media is focused on like too much shoplifting and CBS.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And I obviously I live in New York,
Speaker 1: so that is a place that is the story of
Speaker 1: crime always exists. And I know people who some of
Speaker 1: my families in Canada, but even other places, they're always like, god,
Speaker 1: I got New York must be so scary right now,
Speaker 1: And I'm like it is that That was one of
Speaker 1: the social media responses I saw the people on you know,
Speaker 1: l A had a lot of progressive candidates do very
Speaker 1: well and progressive ballot measures, and the existing sheriff get
Speaker 1: voted out, like definitively, and I saw a lot of
Speaker 1: people being like, well, you must be the only person
Speaker 1: from l A who hasn't been mugged or robbed this year.
Speaker 1: And I've been here my whole life family. Yeah. Never,
Speaker 1: it's we're we're good here. You're just seeing Fox News
Speaker 1: is of Los Angeles. It's it's wild how much Fox
Speaker 1: News focuses on like very specific cities and like getting
Speaker 1: a narrative going what has to because it's saying, look
Speaker 1: what happens in the cities where these libs live. They
Speaker 1: think they know it all, and there's ship on the
Speaker 1: ground out like right, that's really what they're all trying.
Speaker 1: And it's so bad. And it's funny because there are
Speaker 1: so many like boomer tweets where people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: like you see like a post about crime in like
Speaker 1: New York and they're like, I've always wanted to go
Speaker 1: back to New York City, you know, but I guess
Speaker 1: that's never gonna happen with the way things look. I
Speaker 1: just I just I cared too much about my safety.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you y'all are really eating this ship up.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and you know, for those of us who
Speaker 1: live here, we're like, good keep up, keep that pr
Speaker 1: going out because we need less people. Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want you, yeah, you want something like out of
Speaker 1: town and be like maybe I'll go to Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: you want their first I want to be like, no,
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember before the pandemic. You know, I've
Speaker 1: lived your twenty years and just before the pandemic, sitting
Speaker 1: on a subway and just watching you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna call very entitled tourists who you know, they
Speaker 1: were a little too casual with their New York experience
Speaker 1: on the subway, and I just want to just like,
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to be afraid, but I was like,
Speaker 1: shouldn't you be just a little more afraid? Like you
Speaker 1: don't know the place you're visiting? You're visiting right, seriously?
Speaker 1: But so the New York Times I want to specifically
Speaker 1: call out for their lack of coverage and not not
Speaker 1: just lack of coverage of like this progressive movement and
Speaker 1: grassroots movement that we're seeing, like come through and start
Speaker 1: to show real promise in some of these local elections.
Speaker 1: And you know, in the big what was supposed to
Speaker 1: be like the focus of the election night, what with
Speaker 1: Fetterman defeating Oz. But like there, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: feel like they've really figured out how to spin that.
Speaker 1: And to that point, The New York Times the day
Speaker 1: after the election published a piece in the opinion section,
Speaker 1: but it was very much couched in, like here statistics
Speaker 1: and here are the facts, and we talked to posters
Speaker 1: and a Harvard sociologists. The article is titled for Republicans,
Speaker 1: crime pays no matter what else happens, And the entire
Speaker 1: premise of the article is that the Republicans really doubled
Speaker 1: down on crime in this election. I'm just gonna read
Speaker 1: a quote like they quote a Democratic polster is reinforcing
Speaker 1: this point that like it's a winning it's a winner
Speaker 1: for Republicans and a loser for Democrats. And this is
Speaker 1: a quote from a poster. The mid terms will be
Speaker 1: remembered as a toxic campaign, but an effective one in
Speaker 1: labeling Democrats as pro crime, Greenberg wrote in How Democrats
Speaker 1: Mishandled Crime a November three American Prospect article when voters
Speaker 1: in our survey were asked what they feared the most
Speaker 1: if Democrats win full control, and then like just chose
Speaker 1: crime and homelessness out of control. You know, all all
Speaker 1: of the talking points that go along with this, But
Speaker 1: the article just I think they they wrote it before
Speaker 1: the election results and just removed a couple of the
Speaker 1: more strongly worded part. It's because they even mentioned Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: The Republican focus on crime is reflected in spending data
Speaker 1: on November three, and the reason Republican attacks on crimer
Speaker 1: so potent, Lee Jao, a reporter at Fox, Republicans have
Speaker 1: spent a hundred and fifty seven million on crime related ads,
Speaker 1: and the breakdown is even starker in the Pennsylvania Senate race,
Speaker 1: where Republicans have spent nearly twelve million on crime ads
Speaker 1: compared to two point five million on the economy and inflation.
Speaker 1: And they don't go on to mention that that was
Speaker 1: a loser, that was a losing strategy, and it just
Speaker 1: it goes down like they go they go down to
Speaker 1: interview like Paul the gala and be he's like it
Speaker 1: worked for Clinton. They just need to be really tough
Speaker 1: on crime and double down on policing and the death
Speaker 1: penalty and just all these like old school like nineties
Speaker 1: political to work after the riots. Yeah, like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like, what the what the funk are
Speaker 1: we talking? Yeah, then maybe when people were ignorant to
Speaker 1: ship like it's so weird. I'm wondering when the new
Speaker 1: like when all corporate media, like, I mean, they're never
Speaker 1: going to be like they've really shown they are so
Speaker 1: out of touch. Nothing they said is just is in
Speaker 1: touch with anything. The amount of red wave coming, red
Speaker 1: wave come in coverage on the New York Times like
Speaker 1: this was this was an article from what October nine
Speaker 1: Democrats feared Red October has arrived. Many Democrats hoped it
Speaker 1: would be a weird election. But with election day just
Speaker 1: three weeks away, the big terms aren't shaping up that way.
Speaker 1: And but let's pretend that motivated people. Let's just pretend
Speaker 1: that it was there was some potential, and let's just pretend.
Speaker 1: You know, even in New York, where if you were
Speaker 1: a Democrat, people are always like, oh, your vote, and
Speaker 1: you know it counts, but it doesn't really count. You know.
Speaker 1: I was at a show with a bunch of people
Speaker 1: that work in politics, and they were like, you, every
Speaker 1: vote is going to count tomorrow, Okay, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I'm a nw to voting so I just became an
Speaker 1: American citizen recently, but I was definitely gonna do it. Thanks.
Speaker 1: But I do feel I haven't seen the note the
Speaker 1: numbers on the turnout, but I felt like it was
Speaker 1: really good. So I don't like that we are driven
Speaker 1: by fear. Yeah, I mean New York was a little different.
Speaker 1: It wasn't great for Democrats, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: were surprised because the party ended up fighting a bunch
Speaker 1: of like left like candidates on the left, like spent
Speaker 1: more energy fighting candidates on the left than like attacking
Speaker 1: like this crime like Lee's Eldon's crime wave insistence, which
Speaker 1: motivated a lot of Republicans to come out, like in
Speaker 1: an interesting way, because I think that's where New York
Speaker 1: is a little different, because it is so blue. Every
Speaker 1: Republicans like exactly get them all out, like they fully
Speaker 1: turned up. While I was like, it's fine, I don't know,
Speaker 1: New York is not that blue. By the way. New
Speaker 1: York is first of all, historically like there they've been
Speaker 1: like they were pro slavery, at the beginning of like
Speaker 1: they when it was you know, the Dutch East Indian
Speaker 1: colony founding it, and like that kind of reverberated down
Speaker 1: through the politics. There's a lot of Republican mayors and
Speaker 1: ship there's a former chief of police mayor, like New
Speaker 1: York City has like very you're you're right, it's like
Speaker 1: very specific and unexpected politics that don't really fit into
Speaker 1: the overall narrative. I mean more in the sense of
Speaker 1: like for the Republican voter, they can look at a
Speaker 1: Democrat governor, senator, other leaders in that sense to say
Speaker 1: the leadership is blue and that is a motivating force
Speaker 1: for people to come out. But I'm wondering, like, you know,
Speaker 1: so there have been so many bad takes and shout
Speaker 1: out to the people on Twitter that I've just been
Speaker 1: collecting everyone's terrible bad faith arguments prior to the election,
Speaker 1: because we really should be like what's your strategy for
Speaker 1: like having better like a better way to engage with
Speaker 1: like the stories that are happening, rather than seeing like
Speaker 1: what the herd is doing them, Like, well, here's my
Speaker 1: take on the herd mentality, right, just all editorial, just
Speaker 1: all editorial. Yeah, it's all covering it like it's a
Speaker 1: sporting event and when what like, So this article doesn't
Speaker 1: explicitly do this, but it does essentially do this, which
Speaker 1: I think is sort of the mainstream Democrat and mainstream
Speaker 1: media apparatus sort of I don't know conception of how
Speaker 1: Democrats can possibly conceive of crime. They can either double
Speaker 1: down on like like basically be a Republican about it
Speaker 1: and be like we need to fund like extra fund
Speaker 1: the police and support the death penalty like Clinton did.
Speaker 1: We can ignore that crime is a problem, or just
Speaker 1: say defund the police and offer no further context. Like
Speaker 1: those are the three options that they're dealing with in
Speaker 1: this article, and it's just like a Tucker carlson Ian
Speaker 1: bad faith argument of like how how to even approach this?
Speaker 1: And so they published this article after this overall strategy
Speaker 1: was shown to backfire in a lot of like really
Speaker 1: significant ways for the Republican Party, and they completely ignore
Speaker 1: anywhere where there's like this alternative messaging that came through
Speaker 1: and worked like at a local level that you know,
Speaker 1: we talked on yesterday's episode about Kenneth Mahia, who ran
Speaker 1: a campaign that was he's like thirty one just really focused.
Speaker 1: He he was a defund the police candidate, and that
Speaker 1: was like his most explicit position, and he outperformed both
Speaker 1: mayoral candidates, both the like very mainstream Democratic candidate and
Speaker 1: also the you know, fake Democrat Republican Rick Cruso. He
Speaker 1: vastly outperformed them by just giving specifics, by just being like,
Speaker 1: here's like when when you say defund the police, look
Speaker 1: how much they are funded compared to everything else, And
Speaker 1: like so all you needed to do was speak honestly
Speaker 1: and respect people's intelligence on the subject instead of like
Speaker 1: this whole Paul Begala names Carville thing where it's all
Speaker 1: this like smoking mirrors and we have to message it
Speaker 1: this way and people don't understand. You can't get them
Speaker 1: in touch with their safety unless you do a real horrible,
Speaker 1: violent active front of them and in front of the police.
Speaker 1: Dumbest thing I heard since my mama tried to put
Speaker 1: a boot on my head and call it about what
Speaker 1: the are you talking about? I think it all you're
Speaker 1: what you have to say. They're all broke down when
Speaker 1: you said and respect their other person's intelligence. That is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We do not do that, Okay, can do that. That's
Speaker 1: work like, so, I I do think this goes like
Speaker 1: each generation gets a little bit savvier at dealing with
Speaker 1: the media than the previous generation. But the media is
Speaker 1: run by older generations and they are working with assumptions
Speaker 1: that like people are different than they actually are. And
Speaker 1: that's what Like we saw Gen Z actually come out
Speaker 1: and vote and they didn't vote the way that anybody
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media expected them too. And it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they voted in a way that seems like they're just
Speaker 1: getting at the problem right, aligned with their values and
Speaker 1: based on policies and based on you know, the stuff
Speaker 1: that we're trying to actually talk about in a real
Speaker 1: way instead of yeah, is all the smoke and mirrors
Speaker 1: and the this is gonna happen. Just wait, you're gonna
Speaker 1: wake up and all your rights are gonna be stripped
Speaker 1: away and then what are you gonna do? Yeah, And
Speaker 1: it's I keep comparing it to like that m Night
Speaker 1: Shamalan movie The Village, where they really think you just
Speaker 1: keep telling everybody the same ship over. You don't want
Speaker 1: to go out there, you don't want to see what's
Speaker 1: out there. But guess what, most people are living out there.
Speaker 1: You don't actually live, so your village asked messaging doesn't
Speaker 1: resonate to somebody village lives who lives in the area.
Speaker 1: Or they're like, yeah, that's the motherfucking airplane. Yeah you
Speaker 1: didn't hear about it that in the village. Well that's
Speaker 1: on y'all. And this whole election, I feel like it
Speaker 1: was really defined, at least to me, is what I'm seeing,
Speaker 1: like broadly by just people beginning to feel the disconnect
Speaker 1: between policies that uphold the status quo and what their
Speaker 1: actual day to day lives are like, and from they're
Speaker 1: using their own intelligence to be like I see somebody
Speaker 1: who's destitute, or I look at my own situation where
Speaker 1: I can barely afford housing, and I don't think the
Speaker 1: plan should be Yo, get kicked these people out to
Speaker 1: the Mojave desert where they can just expire in the sun.
Speaker 1: It's I think we need more affordable housing, right. You know,
Speaker 1: they're like the funk is going on, these woke people
Speaker 1: know what about tax cuts for luxury planes? I do?
Speaker 1: I do have to call out this Harvard sociologist though,
Speaker 1: for they they made this claim, so they were like
Speaker 1: democrats want to claim that crime isn't a problem, but
Speaker 1: that ignores that crime is a problem in you know,
Speaker 1: black neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods, so you know, not funding
Speaker 1: the police is racist, is essentially the argument that they make.
Speaker 1: And it's like, like, to your point, Miles, we saw
Speaker 1: that people who live in neighborhoods that are affected by
Speaker 1: higher crime are not buying into this bullshit narrative that like,
Speaker 1: the way to attack this is by fucking funding a
Speaker 1: police force that acts like an occupying army. Like they
Speaker 1: know that this is bullshit, and getting Paul Begala and
Speaker 1: a Harvard sociologist to tell them otherwise, isn't isn't tricking anyone? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah, give them all don't remember that's how we
Speaker 1: saw Thanks good mall guns. Why does the name one
Speaker 1: have a gun? Yeah, exactly. And then even then a
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, no, I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: even think that. What they also, yeah, they quote that
Speaker 1: so because this is a crime article, they had to
Speaker 1: like quote the crime statistics, which are very like complicated,
Speaker 1: and they point in different directions and different parts of
Speaker 1: the country, and they're like, but the one thing we're
Speaker 1: seeing is more gun violence and more murders, but they
Speaker 1: don't mention like because there are way more guns, and
Speaker 1: anytime there's more access to guns, that's what happens in
Speaker 1: this country, because again, that's just seen as a I
Speaker 1: guess childish argument because it doesn't take into account the
Speaker 1: reality that like, well, you know, gun manufacturers own all
Speaker 1: of us, so we can't actually say that were you
Speaker 1: a child? Good funk out of here, right exactly, Quiet
Speaker 1: daddy's listening, right exactly. Gotta be with Wayne Lapierre continuing
Speaker 1: to search Kenneth Mahia on The New York Times just
Speaker 1: to see, like what when will they mention this race
Speaker 1: that is like a great blueprint for how the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party should move, like all at once yesterday and the
Speaker 1: only mentioned so far is a Halloween article about how
Speaker 1: like when Democrats go against each other it gets nasty folks.
Speaker 1: And they quote his opponent claiming that he is a
Speaker 1: anarchist and an anti Semite. They they put that in
Speaker 1: there and he's not, and it's like absolute. But that's
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that they've mentioned about this candidate
Speaker 1: who just you know, used I mean, that's what I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the smear for people who believe that less
Speaker 1: physical police presence and like more support for communities is
Speaker 1: the answer. Is they ready to go? Yeah you anarchy, right,
Speaker 1: yeah right, exactly, awless society, you want just nothing right right?
Speaker 1: And as a Jew, I will say, you know, most
Speaker 1: people are anti Semite, so you just sort of like
Speaker 1: you just that's like a penny, you just get rid
Speaker 1: of that. Alright, Let's take a quick break, we'll come back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk holiday movies. We'll be right back, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and let's let's talk about So Disney is bringing the
Speaker 1: Santa Claus cinematic Universe to Disney Plus streaming, which, if
Speaker 1: you're not familiar, the Santa Claus movies have always been
Speaker 1: pretty fucked up, since the original is the only Christmas
Speaker 1: movie where Santa Claus dies in the first ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And it's also I think the
Speaker 1: only Christmas movie to feature references to an actual adult
Speaker 1: sex hotline that real nineties kids called Amazing, Amazing, Thank
Speaker 1: Me that leads to a nine hundred line with adult
Speaker 1: content and high charges to nine year old girls called
Speaker 1: the eight hundred Line ended up ringing up more than
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars in charges, but Anyways, Mary Christmas. It's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to separate Tim Allen, who is the
Speaker 1: star of the original one of the producers of this
Speaker 1: new show they're bringing to Disney. Plus that's basically a
Speaker 1: series set in that universe. It's hard to separate Tim
Speaker 1: Allen the Santa Claus from his outspoken public persona where
Speaker 1: he kind of routinely winds about the oppression he faces
Speaker 1: as a Hollywood conservative who charges I think a million
Speaker 1: dollars per stand up show, so we all we all
Speaker 1: feel struggled. Man. I think about him every night. I
Speaker 1: pray for him right as you lay on your pile
Speaker 1: of cash. But you can you can really read this
Speaker 1: show as a story that is symbolically about Trump deciding
Speaker 1: to run for election with Santa as the stand in
Speaker 1: for Trump, because in this newly released trailer, Santa discovers
Speaker 1: that people don't believe in him anymore. There's an opening
Speaker 1: scene in which a hysterical woman throws a wine bottle
Speaker 1: at his head. Wait a second, is there any other
Speaker 1: kind I was? I'm not any other kind of woman.
Speaker 1: That's what's written in the script. Sterical woman one and
Speaker 1: Santa notices that the magic meter approval rating is plummeting,
Speaker 1: and so he decides to retire for the good of Christmas.
Speaker 1: He doesn't urge his fans to hang Bernard the Alpha
Speaker 1: or anyone, but the language of the moment is, so,
Speaker 1: for the good of Christmas, I'm retiring, recalls the rhetoric
Speaker 1: surrounding calls for Trump to can see the election. But
Speaker 1: then it turns out that the person after him sucks
Speaker 1: and and and and he's called Joe Biden. Right, he's
Speaker 1: a much older Santa Claus Brandon clause. But there's there's
Speaker 1: a legit. There's a legit quote from the trailer I
Speaker 1: retired to so I hired the wrong guy, and so
Speaker 1: he has to come back and you know, triumphantly returned
Speaker 1: to the North Pole, removed the new Santa from power
Speaker 1: a bloody I have to assume, yeah, exactly. I mean,
Speaker 1: also famous for wearing red hat. You know, it couldn't
Speaker 1: be any clear. I mean, yeah, it feels like one
Speaker 1: of those things where Tim Allen doesn't realize what he's doing,
Speaker 1: you know, like he's like yeah, and then like they
Speaker 1: don't like him, so he leaves. But then they realize
Speaker 1: this new guys, are you talking about Donald Trump? He's
Speaker 1: like ship, yeah, right, maybe I was thinking about that.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, why would I be talking about him?
Speaker 1: It's Christmas? Okay, I mean yeah it is. Also it's
Speaker 1: I put this in the category in my husband I
Speaker 1: talked about this time, like nobody asked for that. You know,
Speaker 1: where's the holiday movie? It's concerned? Are we like, hey,
Speaker 1: is there a Santa Tale about how one fox up?
Speaker 1: And uh, the old one has to come back? And
Speaker 1: it's like no, no, no one needs thattionary tale about
Speaker 1: regime change? Is there anything like that that we could
Speaker 1: What's what's a binge worthy Santa Tale? So at the
Speaker 1: end doesn't charge for the gifts? How does this work? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We don't, actually don't. But I mean it's just so funny.
Speaker 1: On one side, you have this on Disney Plus. Or
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, maybe Joe Biden sucks and Trump should
Speaker 1: come back. And then and Or's like it's all about
Speaker 1: armed revolution and you're like so much. I haven't watched
Speaker 1: It's it's like it's like hard, it's hard Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it's all right, it's all about the
Speaker 1: place state, yeah, and revolutionaries, but like you know, deeping
Speaker 1: into that story. Both sides, truly both sides. There's dudes
Speaker 1: like you're taking a piss in it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like there's just stuff you don't see in
Speaker 1: like like Star Wars is so sanitized, so Lettle, it's
Speaker 1: it's so great. I don't know there's someone taking like
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see someone taking a piss in a Star
Speaker 1: Wars film. That's been my number one complaint since I
Speaker 1: saw Star Wars for the first time. Right in a
Speaker 1: helmet they take a piss in a helmet and then
Speaker 1: someone else puts it on. No, that does not happen.
Speaker 1: That would be the prankster Star Wars. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean the Star Wars is big
Speaker 1: in my family. My son's name is Lucas. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Wow yeah sup. Producer Justin says it's the best Star
Speaker 1: Wars property ever made. So you are correct at him.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Now we're showing up in the back. You
Speaker 1: see that, Yeah, that's end Or and then that's tattoo.
Speaker 1: I'm holding up my Star Wars books. Just for those
Speaker 1: who don't understand this is not a visual medium. Who
Speaker 1: made and or Tony Gilroy made it? Did Tony Gilroy?
Speaker 1: Is he the one who made Michael Clayton. Yeah, Born Films, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: he wrote he wrote the Born Films made Michael Clayton,
Speaker 1: which has a very good like anti corporate message, the
Speaker 1: Born Films anti Cia message. Yeah, all right, Well, if
