Speaker 1: Thank you, Miles. Let me tell you it is. Let
Speaker 1: me pull it up really quick because I don't have

Speaker 1: is International Universal Health Coverage Day. Yeah. I like that
Speaker 1: National Ambrosia Day. I like that National Points Sedia Day
Speaker 1: and Gingerbread House Day. It's also National Dingling Day. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, what then is that? I didn't want to
Speaker 1: instant case. This is weird? Uh, it said, Uh. National

Speaker 1: like dinglings on this to day, people they haven't heard
Speaker 1: from in a while. Yeah. For soccer, it says, go ahead,
Speaker 1: hit them up, just dingling it up. Though I will
Speaker 1: say that hitting up, hitting up the friends that you
Speaker 1: haven't talked to a long time, fucking this ship is
Speaker 1: it helps you feel very good. I did not really
Speaker 1: describe that eloquently. Yeah, thank you. It hits. Its reconnecting hits,

Speaker 1: will never see me again. That's not true. I'll be
Speaker 1: the game eventually. But am I'm excited. It's your boy,
Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say. I loved Armored Cores, you know,
Speaker 1: as like a fighting Robots type kid, You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, I remember there was one game where
Speaker 1: the lock on system was so next level that I
Speaker 1: was like, get away from me, because I will I
Speaker 1: will destroy your ship. It's one of those games that, like,
Speaker 1: I think people forget that it comes from the people
Speaker 1: who made Dark Souls and and blood Borne and all
Speaker 1: of that, because they haven't released an Armored Cores since
Speaker 1: those games came out. So now it's like, oh, we
Speaker 1: take the lessons from those games, these amazing games, shoutout Eldering,
Speaker 1: win a game of the year, and then buy it
Speaker 1: to Armored Core six. I just I truly cannot wait.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bananas. Twelve years years. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time. I think it's been seven. There was there
Speaker 1: was a there was like a rerelease of a game
Speaker 1: that came out like seven years ago, but it's not
Speaker 1: they haven't done a full as Armored Core game five.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna the first five I've came out in and
Speaker 1: then very years. Well, Daniel, enough about and of Robotic
Speaker 1: war machines, because people know that we love robotic war
Speaker 1: but we you know, we love even more people with
Speaker 1: bubbly disposition, people with infectious optimism, who when you say, hey,
Speaker 1: tell me something about this, you can trust what they
Speaker 1: say because they're not full of ship and they're probably,
Speaker 1: as I said, have low grade expertise in most areas
Speaker 1: of pop culture. On top of it, film critic, writer, producers,
Speaker 1: you know, you all get all that host acts. Please
Speaker 1: welcome to the stage. Our good friend Joe bad here
Speaker 1: with the two of you. We've never fake doctors, daily
Speaker 1: zeitguysmash up now, real friends, Real host February up in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah man oh man, Yeah wow. Anyway, how are you doing? God?
Speaker 1: What's new? Not a lot? Man, I'm excited. I was
Speaker 1: telling somebody earlier today, this is my first holiday break
Speaker 1: since I moved to l A. It used to be
Speaker 1: a freelancer, So what break like you just this will
Speaker 1: be like the leanest of time, so you can really
Speaker 1: push yourself to like make money during this time period
Speaker 1: because January is just a dead zone. There's nothing. And
Speaker 1: then in February I will usually get hit up for
Speaker 1: Black History Month, but I get two weeks off, just
Speaker 1: like so many video games. Let's go. I'm doing like
Speaker 1: the deep clean on my house now so I can
Speaker 1: just fully relax and sink into it. I'm just very
Speaker 1: much looking forward to not answering a single fucking email.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be here exactly exacts. Wonderful. They'd be like, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you. I love I think the
Speaker 1: reason I love Christmas so much is because how like
Speaker 1: excited I would get for this break when I was
Speaker 1: in school because this was prime TV watching prime gaming time.
Speaker 1: There wasn't there wasn't another time in the school year
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna be like many just let this his
Speaker 1: branch like whatever, he's not yelling or whatever, this go
Speaker 1: ahead and do that. So I always like, I think
Speaker 1: I have this deep love for this time because I
Speaker 1: think it's one of the few times I can actually
Speaker 1: kind of get in touch with my childhood or like
Speaker 1: my fun seeking child, inner child be smelling good as hell,
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, all your favorite cousins are go over,
Speaker 1: you know, scheduled nothing. Oh god. It's truly an ideal
Speaker 1: time of year, particularly because we live in l A
Speaker 1: and there's no snow. Very happy, I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1: I got two trees in my house. I got candles going.
Speaker 1: Like I said, my name becomes Karen Anderson because you
Speaker 1: will walk in my house and then you'll be like
Speaker 1: a tree this year, because I've never had like this
Speaker 1: is my house. I bought this tree situation going on.
Speaker 1: But my brother beatoed it. He was like no, he
Speaker 1: was like no, but he did come around. He did
Speaker 1: say a reef would not be too much. Hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: call out names, and I'm not going to use his name.
Speaker 1: People know the show well enough, they know who were
Speaker 1: talking about. He said he doesn't want it. He's anti tree.
Speaker 1: Why what's the reason the needles come off? You don't
Speaker 1: want to clean it? Like Christmas? Like, don't play a
Speaker 1: Christmas song near him. He's not about it. He doesn't
Speaker 1: like the Christmas holiday music at all. Is He's not
Speaker 1: like a scrooge or anything. He's just not about It's
Speaker 1: not his name. It's so funny whenever we talk about it,
Speaker 1: he say his real mum, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Probably because he's like I was raised to say, look,
Speaker 1: if I don't have anything nice to say, just don't
Speaker 1: say nothing. It's kind of like saying you don't like dogs,
Speaker 1: like people are like, how dare you you try a puppy?
Speaker 1: Like I just like it's probably to the conversation. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run a sie off on him. Now. They
Speaker 1: we're getting you a tree, We're getting you a tree.
Speaker 1: We're figuring it out. The second he's yeah, I know
Speaker 1: he's in Chicago right now, I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 1: where this game on him. What do we say it
Speaker 1: helps the audio to have it in the house, jel,
Speaker 1: We will get to know you even better than we
Speaker 1: just have. But first we're gonna tell our listeners what
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about today. First up, just quickly
Speaker 1: piece out to Kirsten Cinema just said, Hey, y'all, I'll
Speaker 1: turn that d to an eye. You feel me? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So she's an independent trader or I don't know, I
Speaker 1: want to call her like political political creature. You're an opportunist,
Speaker 1: you know. I'll just be I'll be very objective. Then
Speaker 1: we're also going to talk about how the GOP they
Speaker 1: are so hung up on the early vote right now.
Speaker 1: They're like, God, what early vote really cost us? But
Speaker 1: if you really look at the numbers, their voters are
Speaker 1: actually turning out in higher numbers and Dems in some races.
Speaker 1: It's so there's a little bit of digging to do
Speaker 1: over there, and we shall do some like digging there,
Speaker 1: and then we will talk about a couple of things.
Speaker 1: First off, since we do have someone who's a low
Speaker 1: grade expert in things in popular culture. First up, Fox News,
Speaker 1: they're coming from American Girl dolls. Why because they've deigned
Speaker 1: to say things like, hey, man, kids should just be
Speaker 1: comfortable in their own bodies. Uh. So Fox is completely
Speaker 1: on one. So we'll talk about that, and you know
Speaker 1: just how they tend to not like the American girl doll.
Speaker 1: And then Splash Mountain. It's finally closing. Finally, yes, or
Speaker 1: maybe in a couple of years or January twenty three,
Speaker 1: we don't know. But if you remember, we were told
Speaker 1: this like three years ago. But anyway, we'll check in
Speaker 1: on the state of split Ash Mountain. But first, Joel,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that is revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are, what you're interested in? Uh? If
Speaker 1: you were not certain, I was really geared up from holidays.
Speaker 1: I looked up non traditional Christmas movies. I'm a huge
Speaker 1: movie person, particularly around the holidays because this when my
Speaker 1: dad would usually get some time off, which binge watching
Speaker 1: tons of movies. We want the extended edition of Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings. Every we do the normal editions for
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and the extended editions for Christmas. Um. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: and like your dad is like a big like I
Speaker 1: heard you have a theater in your house. Yes, there is.
Speaker 1: There is a hundred inch screen in the basement with
Speaker 1: a projector, rumble seats and surround sound, and then upstairs
Speaker 1: in the living room. He just upgraded to an eighty
Speaker 1: five somewhere in their TV because he said that if
Speaker 1: he has to watch something upstairs with my mother, it
Speaker 1: wasn't hitting the right size. You know, He's so it
Speaker 1: takes up an entire wall in the living room. Um,
Speaker 1: the surprise, no one got heads up on that ship
Speaker 1: showing up. He's like, hey, we got a new TV.
Speaker 1: She was like, the hell he mounted? He must have
Speaker 1: been on a short wall so it hung over the
Speaker 1: sides and she was like, absolutely, they had to read
Speaker 1: their whole living room. The man loves a movie and
Speaker 1: he hates the crowd. His child. I love that. I am.
Speaker 1: I am, I your cousin. I think, I am. What's
Speaker 1: the address? I'll be there? He Actually it was so funny.
Speaker 1: I asked him. We're throwing my grandmother in ninety birthday party,
Speaker 1: and I was like, should we just rent a projector?
Speaker 1: He's like to have three upstairs. He's like, I'll just
Speaker 1: bring one over. I was like, oh, He's like, actually,
Speaker 1: do you want one of them? I was like yes, obviously,
Speaker 1: so we're getting a projector editions. Man, that's that's such
Speaker 1: a thing I didn't even think of of, like taking
Speaker 1: the time to be like, what's what's the longest version
Speaker 1: of this movie? Because we know nothing except enjoying each
Speaker 1: other's time. See love these things. The end of my
Speaker 1: dad teaches us, like, you know, film history, so it's
Speaker 1: both like his history with the movie, but then also
Speaker 1: the movie's history, like we watch, uh, what's the one
Speaker 1: it's basically like imagine any like nineteen fifties three hour epic.
Speaker 1: We've seen it on a big screen, and then talk
Speaker 1: us through like I watched this in a segregated balcony
Speaker 1: in Chicago, Like, oh, that's really intense. Wait, what are
Speaker 1: some of the non traditional Christmas movies? Man? Batman Forever
Speaker 1: is high on my list that in the regular rotation. Okay,
Speaker 1: I misunderstood what the definition of non traditional Christmas film.
Speaker 1: I was like, happiest season. I think Christmas strictly, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is about so you're die hard of course under
Speaker 1: that I just didn't show with Hector, my host on
Speaker 1: Common commentopot actually, and we we laid out our ground rules,
Speaker 1: which art has to be predominantly based at Christmas time.
Speaker 1: You have to capture the Christmas feeling slash like morality
Speaker 1: of Christmas, like you know, it's about family or believing
Speaker 1: in yourself or something along those lines. Uh, And that's
Speaker 1: pretty much it. We we appreciate a depiction of Santa
Speaker 1: at some point, but he is not necessary to quantify
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. What's a Christmas movie that is not
Speaker 1: a Christmas like something that has those things. But then
Speaker 1: you go, unfortunately, that is not a Christmas is our
Speaker 1: best example of this is a Christmas movie. But it's
Speaker 1: absolutely not a Christmas movie. Here's why. Jingle all the
Speaker 1: Way is entirely about capitalism and meeting this fucking doll,
Speaker 1: and that's it has nothing to do with He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: my kid needs this toy. Not and I guess you
Speaker 1: could say at the movie is very convoluted and weird
Speaker 1: and does not stand the test of time. It's not
Speaker 1: good as your childhood grain remembers. I'm so sorry to
Speaker 1: tell you. I can't imagine anything with those elves was problematic.
Speaker 1: But um, but at the end of the day, he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got used doll because like, yeah, I love you
Speaker 1: for getting me this doll. Dad not. Oh, this time
Speaker 1: we spent together was more valuable than any doll could be,
Speaker 1: which is how a true Christmas movie would end. M hmm.
Speaker 1: Part I would pose it to the court that sadly
Speaker 1: Christmas is about capitalism. Now because of that, maybe shift
Speaker 1: the goalposts we have moved in that direction. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to lie. I'm not going but Okay, if but
Speaker 1: trays the original intent of the holiday, I think as
Speaker 1: you put it, and it's not as satisfying, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, if you've ever experienced actual you know, just
Speaker 1: the vibe like being in the kitchen with the people
Speaker 1: that cook at your holiday or function, or like you know,
Speaker 1: taking that look with your cousins, Like there's a specific
Speaker 1: vibe we're trying to have at Christmas. And I needed
Speaker 1: to be imbuted in my films. It's not Christmas made
Speaker 1: me an atheist, you know. I talked about that a lot.
Speaker 1: People told me to people told me to pray, and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I was like, for what for
Speaker 1: stuff you want? And I'm like, where is my Supernintendo? Okay?
Speaker 1: So God is sucking around to day? I see, I
Speaker 1: see what's happening. Okay, I'm off and that's how my
Speaker 1: childish brain worked. Um. Unfortunately, I was just very selfish
Speaker 1: and that's how I ended up where I am today.
Speaker 1: Time of years, so it's a good time to be like,
Speaker 1: oh oh, none of this ship matters. Great, thank you
Speaker 1: in Jesus name. Amen. Another question, is nightmareer before Christmas
Speaker 1: and Christmas film? Yes, it's even diagram of Christmas films,
Speaker 1: and that this is also a Halloween film? Okay, And
Speaker 1: somebody a listener, I forget on Twitter, and I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that I'm not shouting you out. Put's pointed out to
Speaker 1: Like in my house, I actually tell my kids it's
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving film because it falls in the middle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: dead middle. Okay, I'm just saying it's fine. Again, I'm
Speaker 1: not anyone's okay. If you enjoy it and that's how
Speaker 1: your family does it, I'm so happy for you. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying it. It It has nothing to do with the
Speaker 1: idea of giving things. And yeah, for sure, here, what's
Speaker 1: the point Thanksgiving movies? When Harry met Sally, You're welcome. Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh that was Jeremy jerem me on Twitter. You know
Speaker 1: who you are. Okay, Um, what's the next question we
Speaker 1: asked on this show. Oh, yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I think I got this, Joe, What do
Speaker 1: you think Kroger made it? No, how did I overrated?
Speaker 1: There you go, Roger didn't make it that what is
Speaker 1: over rated? I thought you were just answering in the
Speaker 1: form of a question on some Jeopardy ship. I'm gonna say, um,
Speaker 1: even though it's literally a miracle airplane flight, it's totally
Speaker 1: over here. Listen. I'll keep an open mind. Every time
Speaker 1: they're like, you're gonna get there like so fast, don't
Speaker 1: even worry about It's like I have to go into
Speaker 1: a airtight like death trap with four people who put
Speaker 1: their bare feet on stuff and put their hair over
Speaker 1: the back seat. All of these shares are uncomfortable, every
Speaker 1: single one. Get the first class. It's still not exactly
Speaker 1: comfortable up there. And tried it recently, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the next level experience of flight.
Speaker 1: The food will be better, the chairs will be better,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be so comfortable, the stewardesses are gonna be
Speaker 1: nice and like. Some of that is true, but for
Speaker 1: the most part, it still feels like you're seeing in
Speaker 1: a hard plastic chair and I need degree angle six
Speaker 1: thousands being there, like it doesn't make logical sense. Um,
Speaker 1: I would much prefer to travel by like most luxurious coach. See.
Speaker 1: I just feel like we're doing vacation wrong here. I
Speaker 1: want to scrap the whole thing and do it like
Speaker 1: the Europeans. I need three months off at a time.
Speaker 1: I need to stay for a place for weeks. Okay,
Speaker 1: I need really really experience and explore and languish a
Speaker 1: weekend trip in a plane with a hundred other people
Speaker 1: with these airborne diseases. I'm just no longer about it overrating.
Speaker 1: I know because you just recently I saw you your
Speaker 1: I G story. You say you just hopped off the
Speaker 1: six team passenger. This a G five, that's not a
Speaker 1: challenger big ones, I believe. Yeah, you were saying. That's
Speaker 1: what I like with you, Like, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm flying in G five. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And this ain't a mac say, honestly, I
Speaker 1: feel like those that was a thorough like inarguable takedown.
Speaker 1: And if you could, like if you have wizard powers
Speaker 1: and you could just you know, be like you're gone
Speaker 1: poof okay, what's a what's a violation? On the airplane,
Speaker 1: you would instantly be like, okay, you are banished to
Speaker 1: the ground. It accumulates under anyone who's not considerate of
Speaker 1: the people sitting next to them. But that could be
Speaker 1: anything from like I'm pulling my mask down to talk
Speaker 1: on my phone really loud while there's a mask mandate happening.
Speaker 1: I want to slap that bitch. It was awful. Uh.
Speaker 1: Taking your shoes off is one terrible When you then
Speaker 1: lift your foot and put it on someone else's arm rest,
Speaker 1: you can go to health, whatever you get. You totally deserve.
Speaker 1: Putting your long hair over the back of your seat, ma'am,
Speaker 1: some orcer someone is sitting there that someone's particular space.
Speaker 1: Hopefully they have a screen that can help them forget
Speaker 1: where they are for the next twelve or sixteen hours,
Speaker 1: and you're ruining the experience. I one recently saw TikTok
Speaker 1: where a girl was like, okay, bet and she just
Speaker 1: put um and this other person's hair like switched that
Speaker 1: real good, dumped it in some soda, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for her, because you know what
Speaker 1: you're doing. You know exactly what you're doing. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to cut that out. It's gonna suck. But don't
Speaker 1: do what you can really do. What I like to
Speaker 1: do is I like to smuggle a lighter onto the plane,
Speaker 1: just for this kind of thing. And then I sit
Speaker 1: there and people like, so you have a lighter, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, but they have their hair over all the
Speaker 1: air marshals there, I mean, yeah, oh sorry, I I
Speaker 1: brought a prohibited device on an aircraft, but what about
Speaker 1: this haircraft before me? And they still throw me off
Speaker 1: the plane. Of course, it's blacklisted from most airlines, so
Speaker 1: I use an alias. I had an experience recently that
Speaker 1: I wanted to share that fits into this category, which
Speaker 1: you could ban us from the plane. The plane world,
Speaker 1: it is not moving when the plane is empty. And
Speaker 1: let me explain what I'm saying. We're just on an
Speaker 1: incredibly empty flight, incredibly empty. My partner, Stephanie, and I
Speaker 1: were in the middle seat from the window seat, and
Speaker 1: there was someone in the aisle seat to our left.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm good here on their headphones, fell asleep.
Speaker 1: This is not an exaggeration. This is not an exaggeration.
Speaker 1: There were twenty empty rows. It was one of my
Speaker 1: first times being on an empty, empty plane in a
Speaker 1: long time. And we and like, look, yes there's the
Speaker 1: we could have moved. That's really okay, But tell me
Speaker 1: why you couldn't, well, we because else the ship is mood.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There's a lot we had a we had
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we were traveling with, traveling with
Speaker 1: our dog, and we just wanted like and like, once
Speaker 1: we were settled, it was like, but but this person
Speaker 1: who's sitting on the aisle literally just one row over
Speaker 1: empty row row in front of us. I'm with you
Speaker 1: because here we are two people with small living being
Speaker 1: hair of like all you have to use their is
Speaker 1: top over one seat, and they were in the aisle.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be I feel the
Speaker 1: onus is on the people who aren't comfortable, and it's
Speaker 1: not like you you are blocked by him. You're right,
Speaker 1: you're right, and I can't think convenience. But I think
Speaker 1: in the in the if, I'm going to be rational
Speaker 1: about this mile okay, Okay, yeah, I'm also just like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, maybe this is just me and
Speaker 1: some people really prefer this, but this particular person and
Speaker 1: this is not. I'm just making a comment, not in
Speaker 1: any sort of like either way. This person was not
Speaker 1: particularly tall, so it's not like, you know, people who
Speaker 1: prefer the aisle seat tend to need longer leg room
Speaker 1: because they need to stretch the legs out a little
Speaker 1: bit more, etcetera or whatever. This person was not in
Speaker 1: that category of like, I'm so tall, I need the
Speaker 1: extra leg room. They were just a person who was
Speaker 1: just like I'll just sit here and fall asleep listening
Speaker 1: to whatever aisle seats. There was nothing I would do
Speaker 1: to not have to sit next popped off. If it
Speaker 1: popped off, I would have took I would have took
Speaker 1: up for the guy in the in the aisle seat.
Speaker 1: I think we would have an opposite side, Miles, but
Speaker 1: I still would have respected you. I would have been like,
Speaker 1: y'all can move. I'm like, y'all can move, right. That
Speaker 1: is his to climb over this, He's going to have
Speaker 1: to either no no no no no no no no,
Speaker 1: you don't do that. You hey, motherfucker, wake up. I'm
Speaker 1: moving because you won't move how you handle it. And
Speaker 1: then I'd be like, yo, that's that's where And I
Speaker 1: would defend you to speak to him like that, that's
Speaker 1: totally fair. That's totally fair. And because we wanted head
Speaker 1: moves off. If we really wanted to move short, we
Speaker 1: should have taken that responsibility. But literally everyone else I
Speaker 1: was moving and repositioning, and this person is just like,
Speaker 1: I'm good. It's like, how are you comfortable? Ray? He
Speaker 1: was a fan because you'll never guess who I fell
Speaker 1: asleep next. Much worse, Yeah, Joel, let's something think is underrated,
Speaker 1: God damn underrated. Being alone? Oh my god, fired. I
Speaker 1: might have done this on here already. And if I have,
Speaker 1: I apologize, but I don't because it's really real being
Speaker 1: by yourself and getting to me all the decisions that
Speaker 1: just you want. Uh. I hate a compromise. Loathed. You
Speaker 1: have to make so many compromises every single day with
Speaker 1: every single person you interact with, because that's what it
Speaker 1: is to be in community. And fine, okay, but when
Speaker 1: you can come to your own space and not have
Speaker 1: to ask anybody about ship, oh that is sweet. That
Speaker 1: is the good stuff that could be buried. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why are you in my house? You back again? Got
Speaker 1: off work? I'm home? I mean fine, You're like, I
Speaker 1: guess you're fine. Yeah, being alone. I mean, I'm an
Speaker 1: only child, so that I grew up on a loan mode.
Speaker 1: But I always I was also like a lonely only child,
Speaker 1: so I was never really alone at my house. I
Speaker 1: was always playing with the kids in the neighborhood. Like
Speaker 1: I was never solo do loo. So I got my
Speaker 1: sibling ship rubbed off on me from me being in
Speaker 1: like a five kid household up the street every day.
Speaker 1: But I definitely I I think mostly because even though
Speaker 1: I can be very outgoing, I am an introvert at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. And that is the other
Speaker 1: big part about being alone for me is like that's
Speaker 1: the only way I can really recharge to just be like, yeah.
Speaker 1: I always get weird looks when I'm like because frequently
Speaker 1: in public, I'm like, okay, so my person battery has
Speaker 1: run out. I have to go for a minute. And
Speaker 1: especially if I'm like on set or something, people constantly like,
Speaker 1: are you okay, yes, don't talk to me, Yeah, I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Come back to you. Just to eat space.
Speaker 1: You're normally like so outgoing, yeah, motherfucker, but it's there,
Speaker 1: it's fine night. Yeah, And I can't just smile through
Speaker 1: fucking everything all the time. And I know that you
Speaker 1: want that from me right now, but guess what, it's
Speaker 1: a discipline and I need time to recharge. I simply
Speaker 1: will not. With that said, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be back to wish Kirsten Cinema fond farewell
Speaker 1: or whatever after that. Now we're back, peace out. Kirsten Cinema,
Speaker 1: the senator who was probably one of the most hated
Speaker 1: senators in the country. Somehow, despite having that D next
Speaker 1: to the name, I think again, Like I said, it's
Speaker 1: probably due to her opportunistic nature. Um. You know, she
Speaker 1: started off as like an activist who like was like
Speaker 1: protesting the Iraq war and saying things like abortion is healthcare,
Speaker 1: and then once you get into the Senate, suddenly just
Speaker 1: tacked to the middle like real quick, and then just
Speaker 1: sat on her hands and it was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you want to to, like do something about
Speaker 1: the filipbuster or like get these like voting protections done
Speaker 1: or climate I don't please, I'm I'm trying on some
Speaker 1: new wigs right now and I can't be bothered. Uh.
Speaker 1: Seemed to be her energy and Yeah, on Friday, she
Speaker 1: announced that she was leaving the Democratic Party and registering
Speaker 1: as an independent. I mean, I don't have much to say.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I will once I just think about a
Speaker 1: little more, but really doesn't change the math um in
Speaker 1: the Senate luckily, Um, And I think she chose obviously
Speaker 1: the time to like wear a warnox victory kind of
Speaker 1: sealed the majority and then I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: y'all and I'm out. And her whole thing was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like I was I couldn't
Speaker 1: be really put in a box. Um, and like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: She's like, I just I kind of needed to be myself.
Speaker 1: Then you had all these takes where people were like
Speaker 1: the progressives bullied her out of the party. It's like, fool,
Speaker 1: look at look at the makeup of the Senate. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm only counting like maybe three people as progressives over there,
Speaker 1: so everybody everybody else managed to not get changed out,
Speaker 1: So what's the problem. But yeah, it's just the I
Speaker 1: think the most interesting thing is she's up for re
Speaker 1: election and surprise, surprise, Arizonans fucking hate her too. Only
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of all likely voters viewed her favorably.
Speaker 1: Among Democrats, scent viewed her unfavorably, even among independence the
Speaker 1: new fucking crew she's riding with and said they viewed
Speaker 1: her unfavorably. So if she runs as an independent, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Reuben Diego sounds like he's gonna run against her.
Speaker 1: So see what happened? What's the strategic plan behind this?
Speaker 1: Because I mean, it doesn't impact where she votes or
Speaker 1: how she votes, It doesn't have a party backing with it. No,
Speaker 1: she said she's not gonna caucus with Republicans. So she's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm like truly trying to stay independent whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: Like she's so bipartisan You're like, are you really just
Speaker 1: a Republican in disguise? If someone get to you? And like,
Speaker 1: because it was really her in mansion who ended up
Speaker 1: like being able to at least, you know, be the
Speaker 1: focal point for a lot of the news coverage to say,
Speaker 1: these are the people holding up a lot of the legislation.
Speaker 1: But from what I understand, she'll keep her committee assignments
Speaker 1: and things like that. But who knows things can change
Speaker 1: because it seems like this kind of happened rather quickly,
Speaker 1: so so does it truly make it a non move like,
Speaker 1: is it just is it just a headline? Does it?
Speaker 1: It has no barring because we still have the majority. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and also the other independence um, Angus King and Bernie
Speaker 1: stay caucus with the Democrats and then you still have
Speaker 1: like so it really no weird Yeah, weird that you
Speaker 1: would do it now and not at like a pivotal
Speaker 1: point when we were I think probably did that. It
Speaker 1: was probably done so people wouldn't be like, why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? Why are you saying this right now? Um?
Speaker 1: And probably and maybe by her math, she was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll wait till it's a rap so that they won't
Speaker 1: fully hate me for being like, okay, I'm off this. Um.
Speaker 1: But it's been like a while. I think the last
Speaker 1: person to switch with Joe Lieberman, I was back in six.
Speaker 1: Y'all went at six, my junior year of college until
Speaker 1: you was a wild time in high school. Back to
Speaker 1: Basics by Christina Aguilera just came out and you know what,
Speaker 1: ain't no other man like Senator Joe Lieberman. Okay, no
Speaker 1: other I was crazy goofy. You know. That was the
Speaker 1: time I was. I was in that entourage, were in
Speaker 1: the Christina. Yeah, I was at the filming of that
Speaker 1: music videos downtown at the Alexandria Hotel and like they
Speaker 1: had the dudes from Fishbone played pretended to be the
Speaker 1: band in that vide. You have this life where every
Speaker 1: episode a story comes out where it's like, where did
Speaker 1: how the hell happen? Because my girlfriend at the time
Speaker 1: was one of her backup dancers and it was like
Speaker 1: our best friend. Y'all, I can brandish anyway, and now
Speaker 1: I'm just a podcast. You know what I mean, I've
Speaker 1: seen it all. Look shout out to everybody remembers the
Speaker 1: underground part of privilege on sunset. Okay, okay, getting geeked
Speaker 1: after hours anyway, Let's move on to the GOP thinking
Speaker 1: that the early vote is what costs them. Um So,
Speaker 1: the distilled version of like the prevailing sentiment and the
Speaker 1: GOP around like the mid terms loss, seems to be
Speaker 1: that then early vote cost us. We need to figure
Speaker 1: out how to get the early vote unlock like the Democrats.
Speaker 1: And the two races where this is getting screamed is
Speaker 1: in Georgia with the Walker loss and in Arizona where
Speaker 1: Blake Masters lost. Democrats definitely turned up for the early
Speaker 1: vote and on election day, but if you actually look
Speaker 1: into the numbers, the election map in those states actually
Speaker 1: favored the Republicans based on enthusiasm and turnout. In Georgia,
Speaker 1: Herschel Walker supporters were more likely to actually go out
Speaker 1: and vote than Warnock supporters, and the white voter turnout
Speaker 1: rate was higher than black voter turnout by the widest
Speaker 1: margin since two thousand six. In the state, like Walker lost,
Speaker 1: but Brian Kemp and like other down ballot Republicans they
Speaker 1: were pretty comfortable. Like Brian Kemp won by eight points.
Speaker 1: And in Arizona, where Phoenix is home to seventy of
Speaker 1: the electorate of registered Republicans voted while only of Democrats
Speaker 1: showed up. That's a nine point advantage. Yet Carry Lake
Speaker 1: and Blake Masters lost. And there's a similar story in
Speaker 1: Nevada to like it's it's the is this thing where
Speaker 1: it's like no people showed up? So what the fund
Speaker 1: is going on over there? Well, based on a lot
Speaker 1: of anecdotal evidence and other data, it just seems clear
Speaker 1: that while some voters preferred Republican control down ballad, the
Speaker 1: people that the party put at the top of the
Speaker 1: ticket just we're not It's just not hidden. I mean
Speaker 1: I'm fine with Brian Campbell, like herschel Walker says, somebody
Speaker 1: being a vampire, Like just there pay a child to
Speaker 1: come see a child's movie with him because his own
Speaker 1: kid didn't want to go see it with him. So
Speaker 1: you could just enjoy the media. You did not have
Speaker 1: to tell people do these things. I didn't have to
Speaker 1: say any of it. Did not need to bring another
Speaker 1: child into this at all. You could just be like,
Speaker 1: you know what I want to see, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Frozen two or whatever, like just people watched the movie.
Speaker 1: Well again, yeah, I think it shows what whatever his
Speaker 1: perspective is on adults going to well, they must be
Speaker 1: a freaky uh they're there at the movie theater, but
Speaker 1: it must be freaky think um. But even like with
Speaker 1: all the like radical left takeover talk that the Republicans
Speaker 1: were just like steadily pumping out like they absolutely seem
Speaker 1: to have the numbers in certain races, it's just that again,
Speaker 1: these candidates were so fucking off base that I think
Speaker 1: some like registered Republicans that they didn't really fall in
Speaker 1: love with all the election denial bullshit, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be like it doesn't seem to be winning
Speaker 1: them anymore than it was you know, four years ago
Speaker 1: or two years ago. It's like it's just a kind
Speaker 1: of continual downslide of like the GOP presenting candidates that
Speaker 1: don't work, and there's lots of raw ra and hype
Speaker 1: around it, and you'll see, you know, uh, you'll get
Speaker 1: those crowd shots that are like, damn, this looks dangerous.
Speaker 1: But the fact is they're less and less popular, and
Speaker 1: you know, and they're less enthusiastic about I mean again,
Speaker 1: I think there's always the appetite for white grievance politics,
Speaker 1: which is why the Republicans will you know, stay stay
Speaker 1: coreing them. But it is interesting to see like kind
Speaker 1: of bittersweet they're like, oh, ship, they turned out, and
Speaker 1: then the other part is like, oh but some just
Speaker 1: weren't quite bar gone enough to go all in and
Speaker 1: the like that's what prevent okay um. But I think
Speaker 1: it also has to be mentioned that, like they're the
Speaker 1: Republicans constantly talking about like since that the early vote
Speaker 1: and absentee ballots are the devil's fucking work has actually
Speaker 1: depressed the base also, and like there's a there are
Speaker 1: a few interviews with people in Georgia who are like
Speaker 1: just regurgitating ship. They heard on Fox about voting and
Speaker 1: they're like fun cell phone, which is so weird to think,
Speaker 1: like it's a combination of their like craven policies plus
Speaker 1: just like lack of moral scruples to lie about elections
Speaker 1: like end up helping the Democrats. And then it is
Speaker 1: all very It's a lot, folks, but hits we are
Speaker 1: but keep voting, keep voting because they're not gonna stop. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's take another quick break, um, and me go get
Speaker 1: my American girl dolls so I can talk about this
Speaker 1: segment with some sense of authenticity right after this, and
Speaker 1: we're back, and so is Fox with their hatred of
Speaker 1: American girl dolls. Um. I think most of us know
Speaker 1: about the American girl doll. For those of our international listeners,
Speaker 1: I know, Zi Gang is international, but you know, this
Speaker 1: is this American doll brand been around since the eighties.
Speaker 1: And normally, like they depict you know, characters from throughout history,
Speaker 1: you know, like like sorry enough, he would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: here's little revolutionary you know Sarah, Yeah exactly, and like
Speaker 1: based on different like moments in the history, and you know,
Speaker 1: showing the average American girl at the time. I mean
Speaker 1: these things are around hunter Bucks of pop usually the
Speaker 1: yeah yeah about that where they come with cute little
Speaker 1: wardrobes and stuff. They each have a series of books
Speaker 1: that tell the story of their time period. To Felicity
Speaker 1: is your revolutionary girl. Uh, Samantha's in the early nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: you know stuff, Addie is your slave girl just being
Speaker 1: is Mexican American and yeah, oh please, I was deep
Speaker 1: into it. It's a cool it was. It used to
Speaker 1: be a very cool spaceically would also put on like plays,
Speaker 1: so like different months that have different girls plays. Um.
Speaker 1: At the American Girl Doll Store, they had properties back
Speaker 1: in the day. You could bring your parents matching outfits
Speaker 1: for the dolls. It was really everything. And then they
Speaker 1: got into like the modern era, which I think is
Speaker 1: where Fox News this problem comes in. They were like, yes,
Speaker 1: black kids slaves, the Mexican kids, you know, make tortillas
Speaker 1: and stuff. Perfect. You stay in your lane, people, there's
Speaker 1: twenty seven white girls excellent, excellent. But then they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, you could just be your own gender and
Speaker 1: still shop at the American Girl Doll Store, no problem
Speaker 1: that you can get clothes that you like that match
Speaker 1: the dolls clothes and it'll be fine. They don't have
Speaker 1: to be coded as feminine. Uh. They're trying to desperately
Speaker 1: hold onto their relevance as the new kids are not
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and I think now the most I
Speaker 1: hear about it, like on TikTok. Those people just get
Speaker 1: fucked up at the American Girl Dolls brunch like that
Speaker 1: they've done in New York, And I'm like, yo, if
Speaker 1: you were getting I would absolutely go do that out
Speaker 1: of getting drunk of the never truly never be on
Speaker 1: my herschel walker. I'll go in there, fucking doll low.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about some werewolves. Okay, yeah, period.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. American Girl Palace, though, is a way
Speaker 1: more elaborate operation than I thought. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: hospital in there. At the hospital, yes, because no, I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't well, I mean I guess I
Speaker 1: didn't know in the but then I went there with
Speaker 1: my sister and she was like, this is where I
Speaker 1: get my doll repaired. I was like, what do you
Speaker 1: mean you get your doll repaired? There's an operating room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then literally, yes, cast leg they'll pull at cast over.
Speaker 1: It is there like a is there like a like
Speaker 1: a theater to like a surgery theater? Literally, yes, you
Speaker 1: stand behind the glass and watch them operate on your
Speaker 1: American Girl doll. Literally is this Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. They treat your doll like a real person.
Speaker 1: They create her, and you can you imagine you're fucking
Speaker 1: dog getting better healthcare than you fucked up. Hey, so
Speaker 1: good to see you whatever. Then you get that bill
Speaker 1: and you're like, this looks familiar. Oh yeah, how much? Hey?
Speaker 1: How much is it for adult tunup? I never paid
Speaker 1: for one that was somebody else was taking here and
Speaker 1: that was a test. That was a test. But recently
Speaker 1: the company they've drawn the ire of right wing media.
Speaker 1: Why because of well, obviously the manufactured outrage machine that
Speaker 1: exists there. But it's just funny because again they make
Speaker 1: dolls for kids, but this time it's for a quote
Speaker 1: sick and twisted new book that quote promotes using puberty blockers.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what what is this now? But you know,
Speaker 1: unlike other controversies like where Foxes like they're doing this
Speaker 1: thing where they're really not, um, American Girl Doll is
Speaker 1: actually doing the thing they're being accused of more so
Speaker 1: in the sense that the book the quote Smart Girl's
Speaker 1: Guide Body Image has a quote in it that says, quote,
Speaker 1: every girl needs to learn to live comfortably in her
Speaker 1: own skin, so within it. And I know that is
Speaker 1: that is an awful sentiment to be teaching young people
Speaker 1: to be comfortable and except who they are. Um. But
Speaker 1: in it there is again it informs young children about
Speaker 1: puberty blockers. It says, every girl needs to learn to
Speaker 1: live comfortably in her own skin, and this book will
Speaker 1: show you the way. In these pages, a girl find
Speaker 1: everything she needs to know about loving her unique self,
Speaker 1: staying can to through bodies, many changes in approaching her
Speaker 1: body for the life. It lets her live full of activities, tips, craps,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then it goes on to say
Speaker 1: that it mentions puberty blockers as a potential way to quote,
Speaker 1: give you more time to think about your gender identity.
Speaker 1: Oh guess what. That's what they do. That's all they do.
Speaker 1: They just hit pause. Oh yeah, gosh yeah. And so
Speaker 1: because of that, the obviously anything about gender affirming care
Speaker 1: is seen as absolutely like a monstrosity from these monsters, ironically, Um,
Speaker 1: and so they're completely just going down this road of like,
Speaker 1: what are they trying to do again, this book is written,
Speaker 1: you know, with the help of medical experts, child development experts.
Speaker 1: It's not just people with an agenda. They're like, so
Speaker 1: it actually does help because you've seen this in children
Speaker 1: experiencing gender dysmorphia, that this is something that's worth inform
Speaker 1: because yeah, that actually it's it's necessary to you know,
Speaker 1: give kids the information or whatever they need to understand
Speaker 1: what they're going through and what the possibilities are out
Speaker 1: there for them, because ship you might be in a weird,
Speaker 1: really regressive area and you might think, you know what,
Speaker 1: there's no option for you to express your gender identity
Speaker 1: in any way, and then you know, problems can begin
Speaker 1: mounting from there. So they're just firmly the fact again
Speaker 1: because right now the right is on this full you know,
Speaker 1: hate ride that they've been on forever, but like really
Speaker 1: going hard after especially anything in the LGBTQ community. This
Speaker 1: is just sort of why this is now being super
Speaker 1: ramped up. And this isn't the first time they've attacked
Speaker 1: the company in they said the company was becoming all
Speaker 1: PC because they were basically saying, we think pesticides are
Speaker 1: not good organic forming, it's better what what a what
Speaker 1: a what a horrible liberal talking point? I'm sorry what
Speaker 1: how uh okay? But like just very simply we just
Speaker 1: you know, think that pesticides aren't aren't that great? You
Speaker 1: know other places don't you you can be healthy, And
Speaker 1: they were just completely beside themselves. But again, before we
Speaker 1: big up American Girl too much, we should point out
Speaker 1: that they just partnered with J. K. Rowling for a
Speaker 1: series of Harry Potter theme dolls in October, So it's
Speaker 1: a little come on. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's still be capitalism, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: there was also during the the wave of people getting
Speaker 1: verified Twitter accounts, there was that a fake American girl
Speaker 1: call Twitter, which was actually pretty hysterical if you saw it.
Speaker 1: What was that? What was the fake American Girl Twitter?
Speaker 1: Basically when the whole Eli Lily and um, you know,
Speaker 1: like luck people fake Twitter accounts rapping, someone did the
Speaker 1: same thing for American Girl Doll. And they started posting
Speaker 1: a bunch of just like fake American Girl doll stories
Speaker 1: and they were all incredible. They absolutely ripped where they
Speaker 1: were they like meant to be like cutting commentary on
Speaker 1: American girl dolls are just using American girl doll as
Speaker 1: the vehicle for cutting commentary, the second, the last because
Speaker 1: like some of them, but but they did went pretty
Speaker 1: all out. There were some like videos produced that were
Speaker 1: like is your mom bitching at you from downstair? Oh? Mom,
Speaker 1: shut up? And I was like Verified literally Verified American
Speaker 1: called all accounts holy shit. That that was a good time.
Speaker 1: That was like a narrow window for very clever people
Speaker 1: to get some interesting political take. My favorite again was
Speaker 1: the Tchaquida ones where it was like, yeah, first it
Speaker 1: was Chiquida Brands said that like we were, we've successfully
Speaker 1: overthrown the government of Colombia or something. And then that
Speaker 1: was at Chaquida Brands. Then there was at Chiquida that
Speaker 1: was also Verified came to like we apologize for that
Speaker 1: previous tweet. We haven't overthrown our government since nine perfect.
Speaker 1: Wow what a duo? Hell yet? Um? Anyway, that's what's
Speaker 1: going on. Let's move on to something else. Joel. You
Speaker 1: know a little bit about Disney, don't you? Oh you
Speaker 1: know we are everyone was in a while. Well it
Speaker 1: turns out, I guess the happiest place on Earth, as
Speaker 1: they call it, they've finally announced an official closing date. First,
Speaker 1: Splash Mountain, the ride that is just chok full of
Speaker 1: characters from Song of the South, and you say, what
Speaker 1: Song on the South? It's a cartoon knows to racist
Speaker 1: to release on even home video, But it's okay to
Speaker 1: vibe out with the animatronic characters from it though, according
Speaker 1: to Disney. But they say it's going to be going
Speaker 1: for another month and a half at least before they
Speaker 1: close it. And the ride that is being replaced with
Speaker 1: is the Princess and the Frog theme ride, but it
Speaker 1: won't officially open until that's okay, get it right? You
Speaker 1: know what's wild. Bob Igor when he was CEO in
Speaker 1: March was saying, quote, Song of the South was just
Speaker 1: not appropriate in today's world, and we're excited to that
Speaker 1: were changing, blah blah blah. But let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: this movie in the forties, it was appropriate picking it
Speaker 1: outside of your theater that day it was released, to
Speaker 1: be like yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, what day is it? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Then the l CP beget it outside of your theater
Speaker 1: the day of released, to be like, hey, not cool
Speaker 1: for you. To try to solve the idea that black
Speaker 1: people felt slavery was an empowering institution. Please don't do this,
Speaker 1: and they were like no, no, good old days. Come on,
Speaker 1: come on, come on man. So you don't like Uncle Remus,
Speaker 1: come on now, what did the rare rabbit do to you? Terrible?
Speaker 1: And which is the United States and the eighties for
Speaker 1: bringing that film back and making it a larger box
Speaker 1: office success than before. Like this film and how it
Speaker 1: crops up is so nefarious. I really hate it. It
Speaker 1: truly is like wow too, even like the origin of
Speaker 1: it about how like it was like it came together
Speaker 1: because some like white kid who was like doing like
Speaker 1: a journalism apprenticeship during the Civil War was a stealing
Speaker 1: fucking stories from slaves and then it was like all right,
Speaker 1: let me repackage this for white people and took off
Speaker 1: with it. You're like out in the fuck watch whiteness.
Speaker 1: There's layers, there's layers to it. There are absolutely layers
Speaker 1: to it. Um. So anyway, Bob iiker sa, we're getting
Speaker 1: out here again. You already know where the right wing
Speaker 1: came with it. They're just being like, oh wow, Disney,
Speaker 1: you just caving again to quote easily offended people or
Speaker 1: people with a sense of decency and a perspective on history.
Speaker 1: But whatever easily offended. Um, I mean it is true.
Speaker 1: The more you know, it is quite easy to become
Speaker 1: offended because you see how much fun he's been going
Speaker 1: onorial Like even here on Splash Mountain, the greatest ride
Speaker 1: to beat the heat, and I gotta explore racism here
Speaker 1: on this ride is the national review they put. They
Speaker 1: pointed out that they're like, well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've seen this. There was actually a petition to save
Speaker 1: Splash Mountain when they first announced it that had signatures,
Speaker 1: and then a petition that was calling for the attractions
Speaker 1: closure only got like yeah, liked. And you know what
Speaker 1: they said, like again when people hold onto racist relics
Speaker 1: in this country, The petition said, quote, retheming such an
Speaker 1: iconic ride would erode the nostalgia that lives in Disney
Speaker 1: World and take away a little bit of the magic.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I'm nostalgic for. Remember when The Princess
Speaker 1: in the Frog came out in eleven and we were like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's going to the animation with the
Speaker 1: black Princess and she's an animal. Most of the time.
Speaker 1: We're really strong about it and now it's a Disney classic. Okay,
Speaker 1: crazy how good that movie is, even though like I
Speaker 1: have mixed such mixed feelings about it, but it's so
Speaker 1: goddamn good. The music is really good. I sort of
Speaker 1: as a black woman who had to work her way
Speaker 1: to any like a little bit of success, really value that.
Speaker 1: They were like, here's a woman who just wants to
Speaker 1: own a restaurant, and she conna make herself a princess,
Speaker 1: and then she did. It's fabulous and come on, like listen,
Speaker 1: let's be honest. I'm really sorry. The song of South
Speaker 1: Song is not hitting the way a black gospel church
Speaker 1: is gonna hit when you going over that, or you
Speaker 1: have Dr Fassili has the other side, which is an
Speaker 1: all neon electric like jazz combo lean into that. There's
Speaker 1: so much good music. This ride is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1: But the thing that they Disney has to consider Joel
Speaker 1: as the nostalgia for the fans, those who believed in
Speaker 1: a time where white hegemony was truly the best of time.
Speaker 1: You have same like they said, the Same ship was
Speaker 1: like that when they had that Aunt Jemima fucking cafe,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And it was like just
Speaker 1: to be nostalgic of like, well, we have black servants
Speaker 1: that time, isn't it fun to revisit? That's why we
Speaker 1: have weddings on plantations. It's wild that like white dominant
Speaker 1: culture can rebrand these things as nostalgia because they don't.
Speaker 1: They're not nostalgic for the atrocity that was so in
Speaker 1: the background of their ancestors experience. They were like different experiences.
Speaker 1: You were in the kitchen, so that was great, right,
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the Help. Oh okay, well, I guess
Speaker 1: that's a little disturbing then, I guess I guess maybe
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be I should have challenged you to read
Speaker 1: narratives about black life from actual black people and just
Speaker 1: see if it comes up a little bit different than
Speaker 1: hows like the Help a white man's childhood memories are relived?
Speaker 1: Good lord, Like, So the reason a lot of people
Speaker 1: are being like, why is it taking so long? Couldn't
Speaker 1: you have done this during the pandemic when a lot
Speaker 1: of people were not there. I get that probably takes
Speaker 1: time to begin planning, uh, and like like developing whatever
Speaker 1: animatronics that you're going to be switching out, and things
Speaker 1: like that, but a lot of people like what's going on,
Speaker 1: and some people were speculating that maybe it was like
Speaker 1: at Disneyland, it maybe open long younger because the Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones ride is currently being like refurbished because they're adding
Speaker 1: like wrinkles in a new face to make Indiana Jones
Speaker 1: look like he's nine three, and I think, look hot.
Speaker 1: It could be I don't know. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know what they're doing in there. I honestly don't. That's
Speaker 1: presumably that's what what could be happening there, And for them,
Speaker 1: I think they people have said, like, you know, real
Speaker 1: Disney and analyst type people have been like for e tickets,
Speaker 1: that is like the most like those are highly popular
Speaker 1: attractions to go to, and because they're in such close
Speaker 1: proximity to each other, they're like, uh, you probably want
Speaker 1: to have two rides go down at the same time.
Speaker 1: But also I feel like every time I go to
Speaker 1: Disneyland or I mean I haven't been in like four years,
Speaker 1: but last time I was there, like so many like
Speaker 1: rides were closed that I was kind of surprised. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what close? Literally every time I got yeah, I've never
Speaker 1: been there, hasn't been arrived. They're not trying to improve
Speaker 1: in some way, which probably what makes this Zeland like
Speaker 1: worthwhile and fun and exciting. As they're always trying different things,
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me that they would not want
Speaker 1: to close that like Splash Mountain for some people is
Speaker 1: the destination like Splash Mountain. Today it's like that or
Speaker 1: the Space one Space Bace Mountains, Base Mountain. They're both
Speaker 1: mountains that they describe what you know, that omle something,
Speaker 1: so I can totally understand them wanting to do that.
Speaker 1: They did reveal a D twenty three earlier this year
Speaker 1: the like basically like a miniature of the rides. You
Speaker 1: can get like an idea of like what's going to
Speaker 1: be happening in there, so we know that there it's fine.
Speaker 1: I like trust the imagineers to do things in time
Speaker 1: and still make that park enjoyable. I've never been to
Speaker 1: Disneyland and been like bust uh so, so well, you
Speaker 1: know it's fine. And I also think it's a great
Speaker 1: way to squeeze out your last racist dollar and be
Speaker 1: like getting while it's here, experience your last a little
Speaker 1: bit of racism. We got to race that. Or you
Speaker 1: could just go to Tokyo Disney look Disney like, let
Speaker 1: them look island countries. We don't have the best perspective
Speaker 1: on what the world is like outside of the borders.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you somebody who is black and Japanese chicken,
Speaker 1: get fucking weird very quickly. I really want to go
Speaker 1: to Disney World in Japan though, because you have seen
Speaker 1: the beauty of the Beast drive though, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: they do the transformation of the beast in real time
Speaker 1: in front of you animatronics how like busts out like
Speaker 1: musclespur just like so it's the thing where he's like
Speaker 1: being lipped off the ground, spinning and whirling going from
Speaker 1: where best to human, spinning around like through the ride,
Speaker 1: and you passed like like all the stained glass windows
Speaker 1: telling the story. Then bell arriving, then the big danccene
Speaker 1: is the final, and then the transfer like it's the
Speaker 1: transformation happens and then you end in a ballroom with
Speaker 1: the big dancing at the end. It's so writ this
Speaker 1: ride on YouTube like six times because I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta do that all right over again. If you know
Speaker 1: how it's done, please tell me it's truly magic. Get
Speaker 1: us to Japan. Get us to Japan. Yes, but it's
Speaker 1: funny that you talked about squeezing every last bit of
Speaker 1: racist dollar out of this I p because, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: when when they when they said that this ship was closing,
Speaker 1: there was a fucking frenzy of buying up Splash Mountain
Speaker 1: themed merchandise because it's about to go. I need this.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure some for collectors and others who are
Speaker 1: probably it's a shame that they just don't like Brear
Speaker 1: Rabbit um. And you know, people are it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a hot commodity. But again, I think, as
Speaker 1: we've said here, a lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the cartoon. It's the live action segments
Speaker 1: of this cartoon again, where there's this older black plantation
Speaker 1: slave or worker mom waever you want to use that
Speaker 1: word uncle remus. He's telling these like these stories to
Speaker 1: these white children. And that's where, like again, people, the
Speaker 1: outrage is really around a lot of that and just
Speaker 1: basically thematically what the film is. Um. So we shall
Speaker 1: see what happens there, but imagineers, do your best to
Speaker 1: make this uh not be racist. He on a dark skin,
Speaker 1: don't puck that up. Now Disney, Okay, what's the over
Speaker 1: under on that? I don't know. Just don't yea one
Speaker 1: thing out of time, one thing out of time, right,
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, and to voice her is bad baby,
Speaker 1: to cash me outside girl? Did you see her black up?
Speaker 1: I did? I did? Edit that one is a violation?
Speaker 1: Are you for real? So weird? Like this neo black
Speaker 1: face where they're really trying to blend in sweetie eyes.
Speaker 1: Let you know, it's okay that you came out the
Speaker 1: way you came out of. It's okay. Just live that life, can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're Danielle Burgoldie. That's okay. You can be the cash
Speaker 1: meet outside. Look. I remember your first two singles came out.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, whoever is writing this,
Speaker 1: it's not bad, but you don't gotta you don't gotta
Speaker 1: do all by bye bitch is a heater no matter
Speaker 1: who does. Yeah, that one is wild. It's good. They
Speaker 1: might be. Remember when we heard it, We're like, no,
