Speaker 1: say like minutes after a baby popped out of a vagina?
Speaker 1: Second are podcast The Mashup Americans, which is coming back
Speaker 1: with us as host for the first time in three years.
Speaker 1: We launched it in November November nine fifteen, when I
Speaker 1: had had a baby. Literally the same day, Rebecca went
Speaker 1: to Margaret Show's house and our producer was like, Amy,
Speaker 1: do you think you can fly out? And I was like, no, dude,
Speaker 1: because I just had a baby come out of my body.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm flying even to Margaret Show's house. No,
Speaker 1: but you did have a beautiful like poster of George
Speaker 1: Joan Rivers made of Joan Rivers trash. I think, oh wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were like cigarette buds and condiments. Yeah, yeah, Margaret
Speaker 1: Amy's baby. Actually that that was the placenta it was like,
Speaker 1: that's what kept the baby alive. Yeah, a commy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I did read that Jordan Peterson for Babies book
Speaker 1: and it's going so well. For it's a great book.
Speaker 1: It's a great way to teach yourself about how babies
Speaker 1: are a part of the problem of Again, do you
Speaker 1: ever want this name? He's a great guy, you know,
Speaker 1: I was. I thought someone was gonna say that David
Speaker 1: Cross album Shut Up, you fucking Baby, also a fantastic
Speaker 1: child rearing book. But please, please, before we get to
Speaker 1: know you better, Rebecca and Amy, let's let people know
Speaker 1: what we're gonna be talking about. I just want to
Speaker 1: check in with a quick right wing grift. Remember America's
Speaker 1: frontline doctors. Remember that they were like, we're the doctors
Speaker 1: that are willing to throw our license in the trash
Speaker 1: for some quick cash. Well, that ship is such a mess.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. We'll talk about that because they're
Speaker 1: fighting each other over some money now as as it
Speaker 1: happens with grifters, and also just checking it just with
Speaker 1: the just the GOP right now, everybody hates either the
Speaker 1: party or Trump for themselves but not quite owning it,
Speaker 1: owning up to the fact that maybe it's the fucking policies,
Speaker 1: but whatever, it's anybody but the policies. So we'll check
Speaker 1: in with just all the hate duration that's going on
Speaker 1: as it becomes more and more of a circular firing squad. Well,
Speaker 1: let's get into it before we do all that and
Speaker 1: and even more baby talk. But first we gotta ask
Speaker 1: our guests, Amy, Rebecca, whoever wants to go first, what
Speaker 1: is something from your sharch history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are or what you're into right now? Oh? Well,
Speaker 1: I was just negotiating, not negotiating, receiving orders my tap
Speaker 1: my marching orders from my sister for Thanksgiving and I
Speaker 1: was tasked with cocktails. But she did the thing where
Speaker 1: like she pretends that she's giving you freedom to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: can you handle booze? And I was like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: what booze. She's like, oh, I don't know, what do
Speaker 1: you think? And I was like, well what about this?
Speaker 1: And two seconds later she's like, you know, would be
Speaker 1: really great as new grownies. And I was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, just late, you're my big sister, just tell me.
Speaker 1: Just just the pretending that like as a type a
Speaker 1: control freak person embrace it, just be like, no, you
Speaker 1: need to bring this for me. So anyway, I was
Speaker 1: just doing some negrowny research and I learned that there's
Speaker 1: a thing called a white negroni, which sounds really racist
Speaker 1: but also delicious. It's it's okay with smooth and gin
Speaker 1: and the stuff. And I was like, you know that,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna make white negronies. That was my life.
Speaker 1: I had a white newgrowny. The other day was also
Speaker 1: I just watched that show Drink Masters on Netflix that
Speaker 1: I kept trying to hate but kept loving. Watched all
Speaker 1: the way to the end. It's kind of a Peters out,
Speaker 1: but it was fun to watch people make cocktails very
Speaker 1: like your your brand of podcasts, like the hyphen it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That's right. I like, there's
Speaker 1: I've completely missed the negrowny wave. There was a time
Speaker 1: when I like, I mean, it's still happening now. I
Speaker 1: mean like there's a there's a there's like places that's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta try their negroni. I'm like, I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: I don't even like saying the word. To be honest,
Speaker 1: you should, you should, But you know what, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: like the my my lazy girl's cocktail is how it
Speaker 1: has always been like a campari and a little bit
Speaker 1: of that, like grapefruit soda on ice, and it's just
Speaker 1: like it's easy. It feels good to drink at like
Speaker 1: four pm. Don't feel like I need to wait till
Speaker 1: five for that one. So I'll say something I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't wait till five anyways, you know. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is actually the alcoholics, and I didn't used to. I
Speaker 1: didn't wait until any time. I just went for it,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm thirteen years sober. So I hope
Speaker 1: for you guys to find Christ as possible, because you
Speaker 1: are heathens drinking alcohol. You said we should find Christ.
Speaker 1: Is that a new bar that opened up? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this find Christ Rock, right, and they put a you know,
Speaker 1: a little communion cracker. I don't know what those are called. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Oh, you and I are both
Speaker 1: this hyphen it. We're both okay. So I have a
Speaker 1: soundboard that is Kanye saying Jewish uh, and so I
Speaker 1: won't be using the soundboard a lot, but occasionally I
Speaker 1: will press that button because okay, well good as a
Speaker 1: very proud jew, I'd love to hear it like that.
Speaker 1: It's the way Kanye said it because it's so offensive,
Speaker 1: but it's so playfully offensive. Put a playful yes, that
Speaker 1: is I was googling when does the new Best Man
Speaker 1: TV show come out? I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: watched the Best Man series featuring starring Tay Digs, Regina Hall,
Speaker 1: Morris Chestnut. First, yeah, the first film came out, then
Speaker 1: there was the second one, and there's a new series
Speaker 1: coming out in December, and the level of excitement it
Speaker 1: might be enough thread with which Rebecca is hanging on
Speaker 1: December two. I have nothing to gain from this except
Speaker 1: my own happiness. Uh. It is truly one of my
Speaker 1: favorite and talk about people who have not surprising aged
Speaker 1: incredibly well. Every one of those people could watch. I
Speaker 1: hope that they do Best Man at the End of
Speaker 1: Life in another thirty years because I would love to
Speaker 1: watch that one too. So anyways, that was my It
Speaker 1: just braised me joy. It's like vaguely Christian undertones, lots
Speaker 1: of great dancing, a little bit of drama, extremely attractive people,
Speaker 1: great actors, great music. Soundtrack. I remember I had I
Speaker 1: had the first I had the Best Man's soundtrack back
Speaker 1: at Night. I had that CD soundtracks for the ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Shack then for me, it was like for fourteen
Speaker 1: year old Miles to like be like, what's Earth Winning Fire? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And then put that in
Speaker 1: like because I think Shining Star was on that soundtrack
Speaker 1: and like as by Stevie Wonder and a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And my dad was like what is this
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's the just the Best Man soundtrack,
Speaker 1: Like is what are you talking about? Shout out to
Speaker 1: those compilation soundtracks that were just sort of pushing me
Speaker 1: to explore more music. Yeah, it was a great one
Speaker 1: set off. Yeah, that's the bolt track, Pretend More Friends?
Speaker 1: How Many Time? And God so good? I mean, what
Speaker 1: even happens that that is one of the best albums
Speaker 1: of all time? Just did you guys have the box
Speaker 1: on that that that radio that like TV channel that
Speaker 1: was like the late night music cable, and it would
Speaker 1: just be Yeah, I watched a lot of it was
Speaker 1: always either like what was uh, what's the what was
Speaker 1: the like clown ish one clown, clown clown no corn,
Speaker 1: but also Clowns was also their Christian team. Oh yeah, Jonathan,
Speaker 1: he's big Christians. Dude, do you remember when they did
Speaker 1: that MTV on plugs He brought up Amy Lee from
Speaker 1: Evanescence to do Freak on a Leash? Yeah, but does
Speaker 1: that I'm Christians, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, because remember Monkey
Speaker 1: like Feel? Do you went on Huckabee Show? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to ever update
Speaker 1: my knowledge of various members of Corn because I know
Speaker 1: it's gonna end bad. It's gonna end with a Maga
Speaker 1: hat somewhere along the line. Well, yeah, but all of
Speaker 1: them from the nineties, I think. No, I don't like
Speaker 1: to think that way. I like to think that they
Speaker 1: just existed in that one a political bubble where they're
Speaker 1: like mad at their moms and screaming and making song
Speaker 1: after song about how mom is mean and the teachers suck.
Speaker 1: Like that's good stuff. I'm really glad. I didn't know
Speaker 1: you guys would love Corn so much. I didn't know
Speaker 1: the level of I saw one like twice, if you
Speaker 1: had a little bit of turbulence, if there was a
Speaker 1: little bit of turbulence at home, and that and the
Speaker 1: album was out followed the leader Prawless bit of rbulance,
Speaker 1: snorting up those songs like yeah, got the Light, I
Speaker 1: feel like a freak on the leash. Even though he
Speaker 1: did not age well was Billy Corgan? I just thought
Speaker 1: he was like on stage eating he was eating like nachos,
Speaker 1: or he was like what chicken wings on? Like dipping,
Speaker 1: just like what happened to being a rat in a cage? Dude,
Speaker 1: what happened? But I was that. That was my turbulent
Speaker 1: screaming song. Was definitely that. Oh my god, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: it says Jonathan's an article that says Corn's Jonathan Davis
Speaker 1: shares his problem with Christianity. So it looks like Head
Speaker 1: and Fieldy are very Christian and they go to church
Speaker 1: all the time. And they said, have you been to church?
Speaker 1: He said? He said he hadn't been to their churches.
Speaker 1: He's been to church, and he respects their beliefs. That quote,
Speaker 1: the world would be a much better place that people
Speaker 1: would just stop sucking sticking their noses or they don't
Speaker 1: belong and respect people's beliefs. I love that. That's okay,
Speaker 1: And then he says his only issue with Christianity being
Speaker 1: quote the fucking holier than thou, We're better than you. Bullshit. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he was dealing. Maybe he's trying to balance the
Speaker 1: Christianity of the other members like that. He might be
Speaker 1: a normal dude, like a normal dude from Bakersfield who's
Speaker 1: like not the fucking you know, not the stereotype of
Speaker 1: you know, evangelical you know, what do you call it?
Speaker 1: Central Valley asshole, Like normal guys who are like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm surrounded by a lot of Christians. Some
Speaker 1: of them are good. Wow. Yeah, because the band kind
Speaker 1: of blew up because one it's like, dude, I gotta
Speaker 1: get into Christ heavy, bro, and he's like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: so much about in two thousand six. In two thousand six,
Speaker 1: Davis in an interview with Risen magazine, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: has to be about him. Him rising from the tomb.
Speaker 1: Could be about this button. Yeah, exactly true, Davis said, quote,
Speaker 1: I've always been a believer in God, man, I just
Speaker 1: don't believe in organized religion. I think people get too
Speaker 1: fanatical with it. I'm not a big believer in the
Speaker 1: Bible and that kind of stuff. I just believe if
Speaker 1: you're good to people, they should be good back to you.
Speaker 1: And that's the way I live. I pray and do
Speaker 1: that stuff. But it's more of a personal thing with me.
Speaker 1: I'm not out there trying to broadcast it and do
Speaker 1: all the things Born again Christians do. Okay, so I'm
Speaker 1: into that it's really good. This's actually I don't I
Speaker 1: know we were trying to stay in a political bubble.
Speaker 1: But if it actually reinforces our like for this person,
Speaker 1: it okay. Let's move on to overrated Amy Rebecca. What
Speaker 1: some of you thing is overrated? Oh? I've been thinking
Speaker 1: about this a lot, and it has a lot to
Speaker 1: do with our current project, which is about grief and
Speaker 1: love and how to live a good life in America,
Speaker 1: which is I think, Um, how do I say this?
Speaker 1: Capitalist him? Just productivity, the idea of like being finding
Speaker 1: utility and usefulness at all costs. I think we. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's good for us, guys, I don't know
Speaker 1: what do you think it's not. I'm not sure that
Speaker 1: I can use this time productively, so I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I can answer as a father. As a father. Now
Speaker 1: I want to say, um, what are your communist? Damn?
Speaker 1: You know Hitler was a communist. No, he was right
Speaker 1: in the thing National Socialist Communist Stalinist Hitler Party explain.
Speaker 1: I did explain the Nazis to my daughter on the
Speaker 1: walk to kindergarten today today was she was today years old,
Speaker 1: she learned about the Nazis. So there you go. Everyone
Speaker 1: has yet we all, we all, we we all remember
Speaker 1: that walk we take with our parents. Remember the time
Speaker 1: when you learned that somebody tried to murder all of
Speaker 1: your forebearers? Well it was today today. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: agree with you, and we don't need everything to be productive.
Speaker 1: It's very really fucking intense, and especially when we've been
Speaker 1: thinking about this period of time in America and you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: like like some things are just shitty. It's just like
Speaker 1: everything becoming some sort of a hack or needing to have,
Speaker 1: like an end that drives money or or work forward.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, well, why why is this a networking event?
Speaker 1: Why can't I make a friend? Or And it sounds
Speaker 1: so simplistic in a way, but I also think like
Speaker 1: it is just damaging on our psyche to have everything
Speaker 1: need to be purposed for specific reason, as if existing
Speaker 1: in the world are like having a laugh or like
Speaker 1: making relationships is not enough? Well, right, because I mean
Speaker 1: I think that's the darkness, is right, the society is
Speaker 1: reflecting back to us that merely existing isn't enough to
Speaker 1: be deemed. So you're not monetizing your friendships, bro, I know, right,
Speaker 1: which is why everybody looks at somebody like because most
Speaker 1: people who are workers are seen as a number on
Speaker 1: a spreadsheet like that permeates to everything else and being like, well, ship, Well,
Speaker 1: if I need to also know who I can extract
Speaker 1: value from other people around me, because it's not just
Speaker 1: about having a friendship or human connection. It's alright, maximum
Speaker 1: fucking extraction of all my friends have to be a
Speaker 1: value add. If you are in the I will dump
Speaker 1: you and all you toxic as a way of all
Speaker 1: of these friendships. I've got a lot of toxic friendships
Speaker 1: a people who will not be a value add for
Speaker 1: me in the moment that I need them to be.
Speaker 1: I love it when someone moralizes something that it's like, no,
Speaker 1: this sounds like selfishness and sounds like it just that
Speaker 1: was some tweet. You were just saying that you saw
Speaker 1: some thread. Oh my god, and the last we all
Speaker 1: just saw this thread, right, because are you talking about
Speaker 1: the yes? I was what is this pdf psychology paper
Speaker 1: about your conflict mediation? Dude, all the dude a hundred
Speaker 1: bucks paying backing, tracking, back tracking, back tracking back. So
Speaker 1: a dude post my the kind of sorrow I have
Speaker 1: about Twitter, genuine like this is sad and also joy
Speaker 1: that I feel being in the middle of the flames
Speaker 1: of destruction all around me. But seeing this tweet was
Speaker 1: it was a guy posting and he was like, so
Speaker 1: I rented my apartment through end of my lease two
Speaker 1: an end my UTH student and you know, left a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuf us in there that they said they wanted,
Speaker 1: and so he was gonna give me like a hundred
Speaker 1: bucks for the rest of the furniture and like the
Speaker 1: old air conditioner, all the stuff that he didn't have
Speaker 1: to buy it. And so the guy hadn't pain paying him,
Speaker 1: so he texted him. He was like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: like can you send me my money? And the guy
Speaker 1: sent me back like twelve responses. Let me just read
Speaker 1: you the beginning of this. So apparently this guy's accusing
Speaker 1: the steward of gas lighting him for asking for a
Speaker 1: hundred dollars hijack. I was reflecting on our conversation with
Speaker 1: some colleagues and wanted to share some additional thoughts I
Speaker 1: know you don't know much about me, but I'm a
Speaker 1: mediator who works in racial healing spaces, so no stranger
Speaker 1: to me. He is a white dude who opened up
Speaker 1: a conversation with a mediator and racial healing spaces. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be toasty. It's gonna be a spicy, spicy text.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to read the rest of it at
Speaker 1: some point. But he s he sent him a PDF
Speaker 1: of like a psychology of like a history of trauma
Speaker 1: and why you might communicate and conflict the way that
Speaker 1: you do. And he was like, I would like my
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and like, I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: that you read any of the papers I sent you.
Speaker 1: And he's like, you were correct. I didn't know. Give
Speaker 1: him a hundred bucks, dude, why are we talking about?
Speaker 1: This doesn't matter anyway. Everything's selfishness in the end, capitalism,
Speaker 1: that's how That's how it gets it. And Elon Musk alright,
Speaker 1: and Rebecca, what is something you think is overrated? You
Speaker 1: know what? I know we've been talking a lot of trash,
Speaker 1: but I actually think being stoic and being cynical are overrated.
Speaker 1: And I I mean, did I watch from Scratch on
Speaker 1: Netflix and weep, weeping and being looking at my husband
Speaker 1: reaching out while drinking in Manhattan, being like, our love
Speaker 1: is so beautiful. Love is so beaut of all. But
Speaker 1: I just I think, you know, feel like sound to
Speaker 1: feel some ship and not feel so and yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's my overrated is being is being cynical, being stoic.
Speaker 1: Not I'm not here for it. Being cynical. I feel like,
Speaker 1: especially to us and like in the work that we do,
Speaker 1: it just it in some ways really feels like a
Speaker 1: lack of bravery, Like it takes a lot more to
Speaker 1: feel optimistic and then to work for what you want
Speaker 1: or what you hope to see your like what energy
Speaker 1: you want to put in the world, and just being
Speaker 1: a dingis and being a hassle about everything is just
Speaker 1: it's it's like such a cheap shot. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta you gotta give yourself something to
Speaker 1: like believe in to propel yourself forward, because I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, you get so cynical out the gate there
Speaker 1: you you'll truly very quickly feel like like there's really
Speaker 1: nothing to effort for in general or worth your time.
Speaker 1: That could be really slippery slope, especially as it relates
Speaker 1: like looking at our current situation in this country, Like
Speaker 1: there's plenty of people I know were like, I don't
Speaker 1: even want to watch the news, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I'm like, no, you have to
Speaker 1: look that ship in its I to understand like that
Speaker 1: there that there are ways to make things better. But
Speaker 1: if you're not even even slightly invested in that thing, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just in the way. I felt really cynical about
Speaker 1: the mid terms, and I gotta say I ended up
Speaker 1: feeling really left out when they ended up going kind
Speaker 1: of okay. I was like, oh, yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: knew we're gonna be fine. I wasn't all crying for
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and FasTIS I was going to take
Speaker 1: over and building a bunker for me and my baby,
Speaker 1: do my my my annual election day at a van.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's not I think one of
Speaker 1: the things about it is it's not about not seeing
Speaker 1: that things are shitty or things can be really fucked
Speaker 1: up or hard or scary, but it's about wanting to
Speaker 1: figure out what piece of it that you can deal
Speaker 1: with and doesn't mean all of it or you know,
Speaker 1: I think the Internet just stokes this this fear, constant
Speaker 1: fearmongering about everything, and it's just it's we're still alive,
Speaker 1: we're living, like you know, we're living. You have a
Speaker 1: new baby, like you made a human being, so now
Speaker 1: you have to make the world better. Yeah, crisis, the crisis, Amy,
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Well, so
Speaker 1: this was hard for me because something this is something
Speaker 1: I truly love and I think it is properly appreciated.
Speaker 1: But it is Black Harry Potter. The universe of Black
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, stands on TikTok and on Twitter, and just
Speaker 1: like today, Rebecca sent me a clip a talk, a
Speaker 1: tick a talk whatever. I'm not on the app, but
Speaker 1: I love it when people curate their take talk and
Speaker 1: send it to me, which was a Black principle. When
Speaker 1: Lucius Malfoy goes into her office to be like, you
Speaker 1: gotta be better to my son, She's like, fuck you dude,
Speaker 1: get out of here. And it's just so joyful and
Speaker 1: so great, and it's really, you know, j K is
Speaker 1: big asshole, and she's gotten bigger and bigger lately. But
Speaker 1: the joy that comes to me from specifically black Harry
Speaker 1: Potter fans is great. M hm, that's all My TikTok
Speaker 1: algorithm now serves me like because of it is black
Speaker 1: Harry Potter fandom, and I'm like, I'm so happy to
Speaker 1: observe this niche fandom. Thank you. Shout out to a
Speaker 1: niche fandom on TikTok, because there's always times I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: these people are fucking well what music? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Like I had no I had no idea how big
Speaker 1: country music was in Africa, Like I had no idea that. Wait,
Speaker 1: I am not on that niche they are ye haunted
Speaker 1: up in like Nigeria. Wow. Yeah Wow. What about you, Rebecca?
Speaker 1: What something you think is underrated? I think being with
Speaker 1: people in real life, I don't know, like I actually
Speaker 1: turns out being an embodied person who like like seeing
Speaker 1: people and being together with people makes a difference. And
Speaker 1: I never want to go to an office again, let's
Speaker 1: just be super clear about that. I want to choose
Speaker 1: where I'm going. But being with people in community, like
Speaker 1: going to drink white negrownies out at a real bar
Speaker 1: and look at people and see what they're wearing and
Speaker 1: be with friends, turns out that makes me feel alive,
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's the simple things we forget.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't do other than TikTok, which I do.
Speaker 1: My algorithms are really it's really understands me now and
Speaker 1: um and so I can spend hours doing that, but
Speaker 1: it's not the same as being, um, you know, a
Speaker 1: human being in a body. Okay, that's a very good
Speaker 1: adult analysis. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to just just check in with
Speaker 1: America's frontline doctors and the hard work they've been doing.
Speaker 1: My doctor, and we're back America's frontline doctors. They you know,
Speaker 1: are I guess I was gonna say were. They are
Speaker 1: the rights glowing face of medical misinformation in the age
Speaker 1: of COVID. Their founder, Dr Simone Gold, was an emergency
Speaker 1: room doctor in l A who found a way to
Speaker 1: just you know, get some attention by prescribing ivermectin and
Speaker 1: hydroxychloroquin to dying people and quickly gained notoriety that way
Speaker 1: and then began this organization raised over ten million dollars
Speaker 1: facilitating this kind of bullshit about like getting you in
Speaker 1: touch with people that will give you horse paste. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so she started off just on her own.
Speaker 1: Then she got together with other people who have no
Speaker 1: business calling themselves doctors and made the group official. They
Speaker 1: even like helped put together that. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember the White Coat Summit press conference that was
Speaker 1: in BC with a bunch of medical quacks where there
Speaker 1: was that woman I think Stella the Four Seasons yea,
Speaker 1: but this is just them getting together like yeah, see
Speaker 1: this is all nonsense. We can just get out of
Speaker 1: COVID vice completely ignoring it, and even like Vice President
Speaker 1: Pence like visited them during that time, like sort of
Speaker 1: adding legitimacy to the whole thing. But it was clear
Speaker 1: even then that the group was completely fucked when like
Speaker 1: the biggest star from that event was this woman at
Speaker 1: Stella Emmanuel who was like, you know, just like aside
Speaker 1: from saying like really terrible bullshit medical treatments for COVID,
Speaker 1: other videos came out where like Donald Trump is like
Speaker 1: retweeting like her take about how like these medicines work.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that woman you retweeted said that fucking demons,
Speaker 1: like having intercourse with demons is bad for your health,
Speaker 1: and that vaccines are literally using alien sperm to make
Speaker 1: people or prevent them from becoming religious. Do you have anything?
Speaker 1: That's what I learned in science? Isn't that how it works?
Speaker 1: Alien sperm? Yeah? I mean, if we're being fair and
Speaker 1: balanced here, her first statement is true, demons thrones, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump has sex with uh with with Stanus Bathian and brother,
Speaker 1: so do not have sex with demons. I think we
Speaker 1: all learned that. Yeah. I think, yeah, that is fair.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think someone's gonna be like, I
Speaker 1: don't know having sex with demons is good for you?
Speaker 1: Like that though, did you guys notice how like NASA
Speaker 1: and the government was like, yo, there are lots more
Speaker 1: UFOs coming to Earth, so we got to prepare for it.
Speaker 1: And then we were all just like, but the mid
Speaker 1: terms are we talking about this? Like we talked about
Speaker 1: it fairly frequently on this show, because like it's definitely
Speaker 1: like He's like, I want to meet them and I
Speaker 1: want to see them. I'm like, bro, you saw a
Speaker 1: rival like who Andy Adams had to replace? Remember him?
Speaker 1: He was all funked up. He was like, we're battling
Speaker 1: and shaking ship. I don't know if we can handle that.
Speaker 1: Although there there was a story that went along with
Speaker 1: like governments or like researchers saying like we need to
Speaker 1: figure out like what our plan is to like talk
Speaker 1: and I'm like wait what, I'm like, why is all
Speaker 1: this ramping up suddenly like right now? And you're like
Speaker 1: just gonna slow roll this thing. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we've been vibing with them for about ten years,
Speaker 1: and there's a nice gift Christmas gift for everybody. I'm
Speaker 1: you were talking about these cerebral doctors bar though, because
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what what maybe they maybe they don't know
Speaker 1: how to communicate with aliens? What? What? What the fund
Speaker 1: happened there? So okay, so all of these people, right,
Speaker 1: they're all doing the Lord's work. And by the Lord,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know who Satan or whatever dark
Speaker 1: lord they really worship. Greed. The people who worked there
Speaker 1: last week found suddenly, like some common Twitter employee, They're like, wait,
Speaker 1: none of my accounts are working. I'm locked out of
Speaker 1: all these things that I need to do my job.
Speaker 1: Do I have? Do I have job? And this civil
Speaker 1: war has basically been like has been raging on for
Speaker 1: a minute between Simone Gold, the founder and the board
Speaker 1: of America's Frontline doctors. And ever since, you know, things
Speaker 1: have been a little up and down over at America's
Speaker 1: frontline doctors ever since. Simone Gold took a little sight
Speaker 1: seeing trip to the Washington, d C. Area, I don't know,
Speaker 1: some time around January six, and she got got up,
Speaker 1: got caught up in some event where as a doctor,
Speaker 1: she completely went back on her duty of care and
Speaker 1: watched a police officer just get beaten down and just
Speaker 1: kept going, well, she's she's a doctor. She was wanting
Speaker 1: to make sure that the cops got medical attention. After
Speaker 1: She's like, this one's not getting medical attention. And also,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be literally on the front lines with
Speaker 1: this ship, so you can't say this isn't on brand
Speaker 1: for me. She got the front line part. So ever
Speaker 1: since then things have gone sideways. She did about sixty
Speaker 1: days in jail, but when she came out, all of
Speaker 1: like the MAGA misinformation world was like, yeah, she came
Speaker 1: out looking like fucking you know some ship. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, yeah, look good. She's a goat.
Speaker 1: And once she was charged, she resigned from her board seat.
Speaker 1: But then like was starting to try and like take
Speaker 1: control from outside, Like she immediately like launched her harassment
Speaker 1: campaign against her replacement, and then the replacement. She eventually
Speaker 1: resigned due to a combination of too many threats from
Speaker 1: Simone gold and saying I don't think I want to
Speaker 1: be part of any illegal operation here. So she quickly
Speaker 1: found the exit. And once she was like once, the
Speaker 1: you know, board was like, man, we gotta find a
Speaker 1: way to like really formulate a case against her to
Speaker 1: get her out. They did an audit of her spending
Speaker 1: and you'll never guess what they found in her her
Speaker 1: you know, her time as the face of America's frontline doctors.
Speaker 1: First up, she bought a three point six million dollar
Speaker 1: mansion in Naples, Florida, where she currently lives with her
Speaker 1: younger underwear exactly uh and her and her young underwear
Speaker 1: model boyfriend was also a jam sixer, so you know,
Speaker 1: birds of a feather and all that. She also bought
Speaker 1: three cars. She has monthly expenses that are coming averaging
Speaker 1: out to about fifty dollars a month. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what her house, You know what her house, that's that's
Speaker 1: her person spending. You know what her bills are? You
Speaker 1: know what her house cleaning dollars? Fifties six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per month being spent on house cleaning when you did
Speaker 1: an underwear model, you know, you know, domestic labor. They
Speaker 1: it gets wild. And she even tried to get like
Speaker 1: him a bigger salary by taking one of the doctors
Speaker 1: that works for them and cutting that doctor's salary and half,
Speaker 1: like they're good, caught his salary and half give the
Speaker 1: other half to my boyfriend, so he kept my gifts. Now,
Speaker 1: so it's been a bit of a like just a
Speaker 1: circular firing squad there. On top of all that, she
Speaker 1: started a like thing called gold Care Health. It's like
Speaker 1: a health bespoke health care service where people buy fucking
Speaker 1: tokens that like correlate with the medical care they need.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like she also has people who are
Speaker 1: working on that scam healthcare thing living out of her
Speaker 1: gigantic mansion that she bought with like all the America's
Speaker 1: frontline doctor cash. So like our Kelly Energy, there's like
Speaker 1: a lot whenever there's a mansion where people are then
Speaker 1: working out of it who don't act, there's you know,
Speaker 1: it's like Playboy mansion like that. You know, there's some
Speaker 1: kind of weird vibes. This probably has more like entrepreneur
Speaker 1: like VC crypto like hustler, vibe more than that, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, like an influence her house. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like kind yeah, it's like an incubator, but for for
Speaker 1: forgetting measles, I mean, but also like the evil genius
Speaker 1: of calling it frontline whatever whatever, when it's like so
Speaker 1: close to doctors without borders, it sounds so close to
Speaker 1: almost being legitimate and something that could be good for
Speaker 1: humanity instead of exactly that's a classic right wing move
Speaker 1: that sometimes I would be like, Hey, I know we're
Speaker 1: better at like creative stuff, but can you guys give
Speaker 1: us a little tutorial on marketing because like it's like
Speaker 1: family Research Council. That's great, right us? What those research
Speaker 1: you to be fucking have no job and required to
Speaker 1: be in your house. There are plenty of dark money
Speaker 1: groups on the left that have those kinds of names,
Speaker 1: and really, yeah, I worked for a couple back in
Speaker 1: the oh. I love well, you know what, I love
Speaker 1: to hear it something. Let's let's talk about FEC violations
Speaker 1: when your nonprofit is coordinating with the political campaign despite
Speaker 1: that being the rules, but everyone fucking does it, and
Speaker 1: it's wait, did you guys talk about how the DEM's
Speaker 1: actually did some like supporting the primaries, supporting some of
Speaker 1: the Yeah, yeah, well also and how like how how
Speaker 1: that makes you like less impressed with like their win
Speaker 1: because you're like, y'all still Democrats still need a fucking
Speaker 1: platform and it can't just be these motherfucker's are wild,
Speaker 1: like no, and that's what they did. They were like,
Speaker 1: we can, we can, we can walk, we can like
Speaker 1: backstroke our way through the mid terms. If we just
Speaker 1: had enough of these motherfucker's. And I'm like, I think
Speaker 1: most people would have appreciated some real like turned up
Speaker 1: rhetoric on like like corporate profit. He literally yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it is kind of amazing that they were like yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were in power for just the last two
Speaker 1: years and had majorities in the Center and the House
Speaker 1: and the presidency and they didn't do anything. And people
Speaker 1: were like yeah, good and you're like, what what do
Speaker 1: you mean good? Right, I'm doing stuff, says no one, right,
Speaker 1: But I mean like yeah, because the like because with
Speaker 1: the Inflation Reduction Act, I mean it was like the
Speaker 1: most we've ever spent on climate, you know, anything, because
Speaker 1: we don't spend anything, so it's like hard to be
Speaker 1: like yeah, let's go when it's like the bar was zero.
Speaker 1: I will say. Friends in the environmental space, they said
Speaker 1: that this is probably the biggest, it's important environmental bill
Speaker 1: of our lifetime. Like they were very enthusiastic about the bill.
Speaker 1: Even though you're right it should be like the of
Speaker 1: our GDP spending should be on something like this. Probably Yeah,
Speaker 1: again when you look at like the amount of military
Speaker 1: spending and you're like Jesus Christ. Every time I see
Speaker 1: like whenever I see like military helicopters flyover ally, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: there goes a lot of insulin. But please, My most
Speaker 1: joyful moment of the past week on the internet had
Speaker 1: to have been Eli Lily losing so much money. Beautiful,
Speaker 1: but the delight, the delight of them then having to
Speaker 1: defend Sorry for the misinformation, Ja Cab, We're still gonna
Speaker 1: churge you out. They ask for your making profits and
Speaker 1: market in America. Unfortunately you aren't a value add for
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. You're toxic. Toxic. Oh my gosh, you
Speaker 1: guys are like human diabetes. What please help us? Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: we're trying to we're trying to stay in the black
Speaker 1: this year. Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back just to talk about some finger pointing on
Speaker 1: the right after this. And we're back. And the Republicans, y'all,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for all the all the chaos
Speaker 1: that's going around, they really should just change their name
Speaker 1: to the fucking knife Party at this point, because the
Speaker 1: republic cants. Yeah about that fucking windmill on him, Matt him,
Speaker 1: please polsterize him right there with that one. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: like like red Great alright, Vanessa Redgrave, al right, right now,
Speaker 1: the Party of Personal personal Responsibility wants fuck all to
Speaker 1: do with any concept of responsibility to do with the
Speaker 1: mid terms, Although it should be noted that the Republicans
Speaker 1: look like they will have around a two seat majority
Speaker 1: in the House with current projections. There's still stuff that's
Speaker 1: up in the air, but that sort of seems like
Speaker 1: where things are gonna land. And also it should be
Speaker 1: noted that um, over the weekend, the Democrats were able
Speaker 1: to you know, solidify the majority in the Senate with
Speaker 1: the runoff being just a little bit of a one
Speaker 1: just a little icing on top of the cherry, if
Speaker 1: that's how I don't think. But let's check in with
Speaker 1: some of the saltier beings on the right. First up,
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin, she is just just going out the the
Speaker 1: party itself for letting her be herself. She put this
Speaker 1: i G post that this Daily Beast or this article
Speaker 1: The Independent describes as in a conspiracy. In instagram post,
Speaker 1: Miss Palin blamed the quote kaka Mami ranked choice voting
Speaker 1: system Senator Lisa Murkowski and the quote dark dysfunctional GOP
Speaker 1: machine after she was seemingly trounced by Democrat Mary Poltola
Speaker 1: for a second time in three months. Shout out to Mary.
Speaker 1: Uh goes on to say, quote this is from Sarah Palin.
Speaker 1: The GOP establishment deserves losses until it's willing to fight
Speaker 1: for what is right. So we have somebody saying they
Speaker 1: didn't let me be maga enough, and they're like, that
Speaker 1: was the problem. They were trying to they were trying
Speaker 1: to unmaga you. But go off, Sarah. It's fine. It's
Speaker 1: just I keep forgetting she exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think right, because when she comes back to like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you throwback meme, all right, I guess
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Chris Christie, who on a given
Speaker 1: day could have a take that makes him sound like
Speaker 1: Don Junior or James Carville, depending on like how he's feeling.
Speaker 1: You never know, because he's he's so you know, flip floppy.
Speaker 1: He was back on his anti Trump ship. He said, quote,
Speaker 1: almost every one of these Trump endorsed candidates that you
Speaker 1: see in competitive states has lost. It's a huge loss
Speaker 1: for Trump, and again it shows that his political instincts
Speaker 1: are not about the party, they're not about the country,
Speaker 1: They're about him. Yeah, but you've been saying the same
Speaker 1: thing for since. Okay, everyone knows this. Everyone knows this.
Speaker 1: The question is is whether or not you are complicit
Speaker 1: and allowing him to continue to do it. I mean everyone,
Speaker 1: everyone knows what he is, and everyone knows that his
Speaker 1: political instincts are completely about self preservation. And whenever he loses,
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh what a loser. Huh, could never be me?
Speaker 1: And then he wins something and be like, I love you, Master.
Speaker 1: It's just like a spineless bunch of fucks. Like and
Speaker 1: there's the actor Jamal Booie. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: you pronounced this last name, but in the New York
Speaker 1: Times last week wrote about like this really this is
Speaker 1: before the election. But it's like, doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: this way. You don't have to be an election denier
Speaker 1: to like you just you could just choose not to be.
Speaker 1: You chose to be, like, it's your choice's sucking assholes.
Speaker 1: They have a real problem because they already are like
Speaker 1: a party that's willing to say anything to anyone, no
Speaker 1: matter what it means. And because of that, no one
Speaker 1: has a sense of center, like at all. They're just
Speaker 1: like you have no shame, Yeah, for sure, they're all
Speaker 1: like these they're all creatures. They're like organisms and this
Speaker 1: like nebulous thing and they're like, where are we today?
Speaker 1: Fascionist or super Christian? And we care about baby this,
Speaker 1: you know, like and so I think you should do
Speaker 1: a whole podcast as it's a is an audio visual experience.
Speaker 1: You gotta see what my Celia on the out thank
Speaker 1: you so much. I don't have a flagellum if you
Speaker 1: are curious. But you know, so, like, for example, at
Speaker 1: least Aphonic and j D Vance, they're already endorsing Trump
Speaker 1: for four even though as of this recording and when
Speaker 1: they gave the endorsement, Trump has not ran for has
Speaker 1: not announced his you know, his candidacy, although we believe
Speaker 1: that's going to happen Tuesday, the day you hear this,
Speaker 1: so who knows, get ready for that. But it's just
Speaker 1: he's a you know what's interesting is like Trump is
Speaker 1: they don't He's really hard to deal with because he
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't conform to anything they're used to because
Speaker 1: like he's dumb, but also has an unseddeningly good instinct
Speaker 1: for amassing influence. So and every year he gets more erratic,
Speaker 1: he gets like less cunning, like in the way they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's a finesse thing. He's just like just the mass
Speaker 1: just completely comes off more and more and more. But
Speaker 1: the establishment parties are the establishment figures in the party
Speaker 1: like look on as if he's like this Pokemon on
Speaker 1: his way to its like final powerful form, and they
Speaker 1: just kind of stare and do nothing. And honestly, the
Speaker 1: fact that they didn't fucking impeach him after January six,
Speaker 1: they basically hit him with the Gamma rays that made
Speaker 1: Bruce Banner of the Hulk at that point because now
Speaker 1: you've fully been like, yo, you had your shot right there,
Speaker 1: and now you're stuck with him and he's become the brand,
Speaker 1: and now anybody who wants to stop him is basically saying,
Speaker 1: I'm diametrically opposed to the brand, and go ahead, like,
Speaker 1: let's see some fireworks. Then that's part of the synicism
Speaker 1: that I was saying, this overrated. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: this idea that everything is fucking inevitable. Like he oh,
Speaker 1: he's inevitable. You're like, no, he's not. We could just
Speaker 1: you could just not stare, you could just not Gamma
Speaker 1: ray him. You could just make a different decision. And
Speaker 1: and instead it's just it's so disempowered or something. It's
Speaker 1: just so so fucking cynical. It's just about money. Maybe
Speaker 1: disempowers wrong thing because it's all about power anyways, Well
Speaker 1: dis empowers the people who actually do have the power
Speaker 1: to do something. If you're a Republican in the House
Speaker 1: or Senate during January six, you have the power to
Speaker 1: not gammarray him, to not make him like above the law,
Speaker 1: and you didn't. And so now everyone was right there.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell was right there, and throughout the whole mid
Speaker 1: terms he was he was like, man, we have a
Speaker 1: Senate quality problem. Yeah, motherfucker, because you're not challenging any
Speaker 1: of Trump's weirdo picks, and you like you're going against
Speaker 1: you spend all this time being the grim Reaper and
Speaker 1: bringing all these majorities to the Senate, and then this
Speaker 1: guy just comes. He's like, we need more people who
Speaker 1: deny the election from two years ago. And they're like, uh,
Speaker 1: that's not the best. Also, the people you're running in
Speaker 1: Arizona for Governor Doug Doocey, he could just go for
Speaker 1: re election and have a better chance at winning than
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Just it looks like is about to happen
Speaker 1: because Carry Lake a End is like fascist real housewife
Speaker 1: like her whole president Yeah, well, she's just made of
Speaker 1: vassoliness what I assume, but vascilating on the lens, just
Speaker 1: like she's nice soft bloom. There's always a nice bloom
Speaker 1: around her. Because I'll give it to her. She was
Speaker 1: like a TV anchor person. She understands lighting unlike any
Speaker 1: of these other people, because every time she was on
Speaker 1: TV she had perfect fucking lighting, Like she like literally
Speaker 1: was doing a talking headbit in a Real Housewives show.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, good for you, you have that
Speaker 1: dialed in. Anyway, Bootstrap boys, please go ahead and walk
Speaker 1: into the fire, you know, try and rest control of
Speaker 1: your party. I'd really love to see it from here,
Speaker 1: just to see how many y'all like take one step
Speaker 1: into the breech and be like, I gotta never mind
Speaker 1: never because it doesn't seem like y'all have a winning
Speaker 1: hand there. I do love watching them all turn on
Speaker 1: each other though. It's very It's very nice for me
Speaker 1: if it's you know what, let's play. Let's let's give
Speaker 1: ourselves a little bit of a treat. I do want
Speaker 1: to play this clip from Ted Cruise on his podcast
Speaker 1: where he's just talking about like who's to blame for
Speaker 1: the mid terms. He's like, I'm pissed at Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called the Verdict with Ted Cruz Lord checked. So
Speaker 1: this is a little sound by to him doing a
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, yeah, post mortem on the midterms.
Speaker 1: The rage Americans are feeling across this country, the rage
Speaker 1: that I'm feeling, there are almost not words to describe it,
Speaker 1: because this opportunity was screwed up. It was screwed up badly,
Speaker 1: and the people are gonna pay the price, or the
Speaker 1: American people the country is screwed for the next four years.
Speaker 1: Because of this, We're gonna see horrible left wing judges
Speaker 1: confirmed for the next two years. Because of this, We're
Speaker 1: gonna see judges taking away our free speech rights, are
Speaker 1: religious liberty rights, are Second Amendment rights. It is an
Speaker 1: enormous missed opportunity. And I gotta say it, it is
Speaker 1: hard to describe my feelings as anything other than rage
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, it's all. It's all those judges that
Speaker 1: are in the Supreme Court. I think that are the
Speaker 1: ones taking away the rights, Tedd that you guys lost.
Speaker 1: As you knows, Americans are not upset all of the
Speaker 1: ones who voted the majority of that turns out you're
Speaker 1: talking to a small group of people there, Teddy. But
Speaker 1: I just also I wanted to bring up that point
Speaker 1: because it has to be mentioned that he also was
Speaker 1: puffing his chest out about Here are my cruise twenty
Speaker 1: five picks for twenty two victory fund. He had the
Speaker 1: Cruise twenty five for twenty two victory fund where he
Speaker 1: was courting donations for these house races. That cruise was
Speaker 1: focused on helping us deliver a majority. And I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, man, of the twenty five, twenty four of
Speaker 1: the people that were new like our people trying to
Speaker 1: challenge an incumbent fucking nine one. They're races. He did,
Speaker 1: he was nine for two. This motherfucker swung out that.
Speaker 1: He struck out bad. So he's also part of that
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson crew of people who are like, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you where to put your money. I know where it goes.
Speaker 1: Then when the ship goes left, he's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad. We need to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's like you were have No, you're an invertebrate and
Speaker 1: you went with the with the Maga ship and that's
Speaker 1: why it wasn't invertebrate. I just it's just such a
Speaker 1: pleasure to watch evil people fail. Yeah, it's a rarity,
Speaker 1: so it's nice to feel it and see it. And
Speaker 1: also then being like Ben, like, yo, they tripped because
Speaker 1: their shoe laces are untied. Watch they're not gonna look
Speaker 1: at their shoe laces again and try and get back up.
Speaker 1: And they're doing that. They're like, watch, they're not going
Speaker 1: to try and actually figure out what the fun the
Speaker 1: problem is just in rakes and they keep stepping on
Speaker 1: the rakes and in some in the nose did you
Speaker 1: see Jessie Waters the clip where he was talking about
Speaker 1: it's single women and the reason that single women they
Speaker 1: should got to get married, and then then there's too
Speaker 1: many single women and that once they get married, they
Speaker 1: no longer vote Democrat and you're likely and your white
Speaker 1: friends bitches. What they need to do is get married
Speaker 1: to a cop with angry issues who will stand over
Speaker 1: their shoulder as they vote. And that's how we'll solve
Speaker 1: this thing. Unsettled saying what did I do? Sorry? Rebecca
Speaker 1: has never watched The Wire? Oh man, I just watched.
Speaker 1: I was the first two episodes. It was so stressful
Speaker 1: to me, and it was already after the whole thing
Speaker 1: was done. I was like, this is I can't be
Speaker 1: stressed for four years. Whatever the exactly how it felt. Well,
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Rebecca Amy, it's been fantastic having you
Speaker 1: on the Daily sie Geist again. Please come back. I
Speaker 1: promise Jack will be on the next time, because every
Speaker 1: time I'm like, God, don't miss this all. But where
Speaker 1: can people find you and follow you and support all
Speaker 1: the fantastic work that you'll do. Yes, we have a
Speaker 1: brand new show out today, a series from our own
Speaker 1: podcast us talking about grief and America and how we
Speaker 1: figure out collectively how to think about the past instead
Speaker 1: of just pushing it down so that we can have
Speaker 1: a better future. And um, it's out now. It's a
Speaker 1: called Grief Collected. You can find it on the mash
Speaker 1: Up Americans feed anywhere you listen to pods or go
Speaker 1: to grief collected dot com. And we promise that it's
Speaker 1: actually really joyful to talk have these really intense, beautiful
Speaker 1: conversations about kind of just like turns out loss and
Speaker 1: grieving is just what it means to be alive and
Speaker 1: to love good grief if you will good good degree.
Speaker 1: And I think that is a podcast. Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I shout out to that pod. But I mean it's
Speaker 1: like anything any like fucking first instinct idea or an
Speaker 1: improv group. So that's one of the two, that's true.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that the grief is so like important, and
Speaker 1: I think it's so important for people to not so
Speaker 1: much of my own like personal development and growth has
Speaker 1: come from like actually confronting a lot of situations where
Speaker 1: I wasn't grieving properly. And that's that was sort of
Speaker 1: like one of the big steps I had to take
Speaker 1: to move into like a healthier like emotional space is
Speaker 1: to like typically you think grief, you think about something
Speaker 1: where you're grieving, You're like, I don't want to think
Speaker 1: about that. That that put that over there. And a
Speaker 1: lot of the work I've tried to do is to
Speaker 1: transform my grief into understanding that grief is. It's just
Speaker 1: the other side of the love token. That's exactly, and
Speaker 1: it's actually there's so many kinds of laws and grief
Speaker 1: that we all are always like even the law us
Speaker 1: of the future, we thought we maybe almost everything we
Speaker 1: talked about today, like looking thinking about climate, thinking about
Speaker 1: kind of a dream of an American government that didn't
Speaker 1: evolve into January six, thinking about you know, a loss
Speaker 1: of hope or a cynicism. I think, you know, grief
Speaker 1: in America is often very simplistically defined or thought about
Speaker 1: as simply death, a death loss, and that is certainly
Speaker 1: a huge one, but also right now, like it feels
Speaker 1: like we're on the precipice of something, which is I
Speaker 1: think your show goes into so much like what is
Speaker 1: in the American psyche, and it turns out like a
Speaker 1: lot of it is unprocessed, unmetabolized grief and and so
Speaker 1: it's just it's been super it's actually been superfun. We laugh,
Speaker 1: we cry. We really hope you guys all listen. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, did you say your handles or people can
Speaker 1: finally follow you in that? Did you say? Yes? At
Speaker 1: mash up American on all the social and you can
Speaker 1: go to grief Collected dot com to find all information.
Speaker 1: I don't. I just scroll TikTok. But I don't have
Speaker 1: my own hands. Okay, okay, okay, but you can find
Speaker 1: me at Awesome Troy for as long as Twitter still exists. There,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm there. Are we taking bets about when
Speaker 1: it won't exist? What's the plant, what's the what's the
Speaker 1: best over? I think this week, this week we'll have
Speaker 1: a massive funk up. I feel like we're got we're
Speaker 1: due for something. Where I was like, y'all ship not
Speaker 1: load neither, and that will happen. But they fired everybody
Speaker 1: who's gonna fix it. It breaks, it breaks, but the
Speaker 1: people they begrudgingly hired back. But then we're like these
Speaker 1: people we hired back or assholes, just wait for the
Speaker 1: knowledge transfer and then fucking boot them again. It's like
Speaker 1: like a leaked fucking exchange for people of Twitter. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I would be willing to bet massive
Speaker 1: funk up for like user experience this week. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: got to be in the books. I look forward to check,
Speaker 1: gladd it's in time for the launch for our new show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know if it will fully
Speaker 1: fall apart this week. I can't. I don't know. Maybe,
Speaker 1: And see that's my optimism, you know, Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: And Matt, congratulations on this is your first child, my
Speaker 1: first baby. Congratulations on becoming a dad. That's really fucking awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very happy, and I'm so tired, so tired.
Speaker 1: Has the baby pooh? Do you have one of those charts?
Speaker 1: This is when I I I've blocked out a lot
Speaker 1: from the early days, but I specifically remember, like a
Speaker 1: picture chart that's some mustard seeds and yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: past mustard seeds. We're not um green green, disgusted, close
Speaker 1: to pasty, not yet paste because she's not eating solid foods.
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, listen by any other name smells
Speaker 1: mustard seeds, Rebecca Amy, Was there any tweets or other
Speaker 1: works of social media you wanted to shout out Aside
Speaker 1: from that hundred dollar oh, I want to shout out
Speaker 1: this guy on TikTok called Nangas who does impressions of
Speaker 1: basically public school administrators and and it is it's the
Speaker 1: green screen, is like the woman at the front desk
Speaker 1: at school or the nurse. And he is so funny
Speaker 1: and it's so accurate. And there's always this lady called
Speaker 1: a kid called Olivia who's always like Olivia, Olivia is
Speaker 1: always doing wrong and he brings me so much joy,
Speaker 1: So I big shout out to him on TikTok. I
Speaker 1: like when like the National Parks their social media when
Speaker 1: they're saying things like don't lick the psychedelic toads, things
Speaker 1: like that really bring me joy. I guess things that
Speaker 1: I think really bring us closer to the American psyche,
Speaker 1: just knowing that people are traveling to like the desert,
Speaker 1: being like, gotta find me one of those toads. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm not the hoop, but people are so stupid. Anyways,

Speaker 1: why people are so confused, Like women have been saying
Speaker 1: they like nice guys who can make them laugh. So all,
Speaker 1: by all purposes, for all purposes or intents and purposes,
Speaker 1: you could assume that he's probably a nice guy and
Speaker 1: he's funny. Yeah, he's probably nice, funny uh, and also
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt that he is very, very famous and has
Speaker 1: a great track record. In terms of uh, it seems
