Speaker 1: that we were all waiting for from Rob to do
Speaker 1: you know. I'm actually pretty happy to be back. We
Speaker 1: had we had a recording of our NBA based podcast
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and I felt like I was gonna die.
Speaker 1: I was I was suffering from the bends that like
Speaker 1: sort of returned to the surface work experience that I

Speaker 1: We had a great Oh, it's great. Mercury is in retrograde,
Speaker 1: so that's right, it is. All bets are off these days.
Speaker 1: I keep saying, I hate when that happens. It's a
Speaker 1: retrograding a f right now, we're gonna have to take
Speaker 1: this episode from the top. Sorry, please calm down, Marie Cury.
Speaker 1: Stop being a retrograde rob. Where where are you coming
Speaker 1: to us from? I'm in Hollywood, California. Right underneath the sign.
Speaker 1: You can almost see it from my roof. Is your
Speaker 1: own leaking? Is your not today today? But it was
Speaker 1: look at you, sir. But right before Thanksgiving my walls
Speaker 1: were literally leaking. Oh. I heard right before I fell
Speaker 1: asleep the night before I left town, I heard a
Speaker 1: pitter pat and I was like, what is that? Sounds
Speaker 1: sounds like a mouse is in my house. And I
Speaker 1: fell around and there was a drip on the pillow
Speaker 1: next to mesh. Yeah, and it was the ceiling and
Speaker 1: the wall just dripping down. Yeah. But thankfully they fixed it.
Speaker 1: I haven't had any problems since. Yeah, you go, what happens,
Speaker 1: especially it doesn't rain much, but when it does the
Speaker 1: homes aren't built for it. Neither are the people. Know
Speaker 1: the landlords are not built for it, although fendly their
Speaker 1: phones don't work. Yeah. Really, Oh that's weird. It's leaking again. Huh?
Speaker 1: Is it because I didn't I haven't repaired the roof
Speaker 1: in twenty five years. Yeah, I'll send someone up to
Speaker 1: stick a piece of gum in the hole. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that is it. Because we built your house out of
Speaker 1: Lincoln lugs. Yeah. There's a nice cross breeze though, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm loving the rain though, Yeah, really nice. We need it.
Speaker 1: It's moody and it cleans the air out, and Los
Speaker 1: Angeles after it rains as a beautiful, beautiful Yeah, it
Speaker 1: kind of reminds you that you're like living in an
Speaker 1: actual place and not just a backdrop, right exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some depth. Yeah, I feel like the dust in
Speaker 1: the air kind of robs everything of depth. And it
Speaker 1: does all look like a Matt Set painting type thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's an establishing shot of insecure. Yeah. All right, Rob,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of the things we're talking about today, New Year,
Speaker 1: New Congress is they're trying doing their best here, folks,
Speaker 1: it's not happening. We're going to talk about Capital tour
Speaker 1: Guides and how they deal with January six because Capital
Speaker 1: is back open for business. Americans from all across this
Speaker 1: great land are showing up and they're like the crypt
Speaker 1: that I remember them talking about that when people were
Speaker 1: invading the Capital U and the tour guides are not
Speaker 1: allowed to talk about it. I personally don't blame them
Speaker 1: unless you wanna make Capital for a guide the highest
Speaker 1: paid position in Washington. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you can do to make it worth it for
Speaker 1: the Capital tour GUIDs to debate the what actually happened
Speaker 1: on Very six with people. But anyways, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We will talk about there's been a scientific breakthrough with
Speaker 1: regards to the human walk, why we walk the way
Speaker 1: we walk. There's apparently a second bounce in in our
Speaker 1: gate that has mystified scientists for a little while. So
Speaker 1: we have an explanation that I thought was just a
Speaker 1: fun story. It, Yeah, helps you kind of appreciate that
Speaker 1: second bounce. Yeah, I appreciate the second bounce all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Rob, we do like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Okay?
Speaker 1: Types of onion. You said that like you're coming up
Speaker 1: with a family feud answer. I know, because I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm It's like everything else I looked at was
Speaker 1: like technical, boring, whatever, and then what's the boring onion?
Speaker 1: I like, Okay, let's get a boring one out of
Speaker 1: the way, just so I know, just so I have
Speaker 1: like a the spectrum, like how to set a file
Speaker 1: path and you're Adobe Premiere, capture, scratch disk or something.
Speaker 1: You're not working our audience, we all get Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go back to hey, were you on Final cut seven?
Speaker 1: Before you're we always premiere? It wasn't Final Cut seven
Speaker 1: until about twenty Hey, I hear you. Remember when X
Speaker 1: came out, Everyone's like, what the heck is this? Hey?
Speaker 1: But at that time you can map the key commands
Speaker 1: from Final cut onto Adobe. That helped a few of
Speaker 1: us switched in it. All, Right, Jack, what were you
Speaker 1: saying again? That's money something more important? Types of funny guys?
Speaker 1: What happened? So what are you looking at? Like, what's
Speaker 1: going on with that one? I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: do cook, so this is like it might have had
Speaker 1: to do with making a soup. I've been trying to
Speaker 1: make a lot of soups. This is soup season. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm very imprecise with the if there is
Speaker 1: a significant difference between the types of onions, like and
Speaker 1: I think there is, but they're like, this is sweet one.
Speaker 1: This is Yeah, I'm very imprecise the two types of onions.
Speaker 1: I'm aware of our white and red. And that's about
Speaker 1: as in depth and detailed as I get. So you
Speaker 1: got shallots, sure, you've got green onions? Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: those are those are specific types of that I recognize. Yellow. White. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yellow and white get mixed up for me, for sure.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what the need for them is. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go for a yellow or a white,
Speaker 1: I'm looking right. It was like the size of a
Speaker 1: fucking pumpkin and you're just like cutting it with They
Speaker 1: say the yellow is your standard, but they're really good
Speaker 1: for caramelizing. The best onion to caramelize is a yellow onion. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see. Uh, And then like it's funny because I
Speaker 1: don't say sweet onions good for salads, relishes, garnishes. Red
Speaker 1: onions good for salads, grilling, pickling. So grilling and pickling
Speaker 1: give the red the edge there and they say white onions.
Speaker 1: I like these, go Mexican dishes. If you're doing don't, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. You don't. Don't chop up the cilantro with
Speaker 1: a red onion. Now make sure you got a white onion.
Speaker 1: It makes sense. Another thing in the search history I
Speaker 1: did was Philip's crab. Does that mean anything to any
Speaker 1: of you know? Is that a type of tool? It's
Speaker 1: it's a brand of crab meat. It's I thought it
Speaker 1: was like a screw driver, my bad crab crab. I'm
Speaker 1: doing a yes, Sorry, I'm no, I'm still coming back
Speaker 1: to earth from two weeks of sick Pandora Miles Avatar
Speaker 1: to thirty times during the Yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's why. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just trying to see if the critics got
Speaker 1: it wrong, but I don't think they did. It turns out.
Speaker 1: But anyway, wait, so what's phillips crab. It's like it's
Speaker 1: a brand of crab meat. Phillips has like crab houses
Speaker 1: in Maryland area, Baltimore area, and that's where I am
Speaker 1: from originally, and so I was I searched Phillips crab
Speaker 1: because I took big crab meat home from home home
Speaker 1: to here. I flew on the plane with rock crab
Speaker 1: meat and then I cracked my girlfriend crab cakes with
Speaker 1: the Phillips recipe. Wait, but it was it blue crab. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, blue crab. I want to make sure, and
Speaker 1: it was there some Natty Bow involved to see. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of Baltimore bro I'm I'm all over
Speaker 1: well actually a full disclosure. My wife No, no, my
Speaker 1: wife from Maryland. So I got I gotta, I gotta.
Speaker 1: I got enough Maryland culture. Yas, that's good. I didn't
Speaker 1: have any Natty Bow. I couldn't go that hard. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to. It's easier to find crab across
Speaker 1: the country than beer, I know, right, And then getting it.
Speaker 1: I saw a place that sold it out in l A.
Speaker 1: They were like they had Marylanders like by the throat
Speaker 1: because they were like nice, Yeah, man, we got natty bow.
Speaker 1: But it's like twenty bucks for a six pack, and
Speaker 1: it was like it tastes like bridge. But I got
Speaker 1: a pet. That's a crime. And people like but I
Speaker 1: just love the logo. It is the logo. I grew
Speaker 1: up with that logo. It's a weird it's a weird
Speaker 1: cartoon pringles man with one eye basically anyway. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's that was my Google search. I don't know, does
Speaker 1: it tell you about me? Yeah? I think I got
Speaker 1: everything and it You brought big crab energy into the
Speaker 1: crab energy into this podcast recording, so I was I
Speaker 1: was ready for that answer. It is a lump thing.
Speaker 1: I'm a lump snob. So me, if you have a crab,
Speaker 1: if you go anywhere generally anywhere else other than Maryland
Speaker 1: and you're like crab cake, you get a crab cake.
Speaker 1: It's like a little thin like hockey and the meat
Speaker 1: is like thready shreddy. It's not sufficient. Looks like hair
Speaker 1: clip barber shop clippings exactly, or like if you if
Speaker 1: you if somehow crab meat was extracted in a dryer,
Speaker 1: like whatever was in the limp catch, it's like the
Speaker 1: crab catch, like no, what about the big chunky pieces
Speaker 1: in there? Like not no, no, take the limp catch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't even see that stuff outside of the area.
Speaker 1: I think is lump ever good Other than was crab meat.
Speaker 1: I feel like lumps is usually bad. The states are
Speaker 1: the actual in my head, she's lump, she's lump, she's lump,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, yeah, I thought that was about
Speaker 1: a brain, but okay, that is it. It could be
Speaker 1: what she's lump. She's lump, she's lump in my head.
Speaker 1: Come on, Oh my god, who's naive? Now? No? I
Speaker 1: just made that up. I don't think that's true. Anyways.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Brob oh, all right,
Speaker 1: this is controversial. I think maybe I think micro dosing
Speaker 1: micro dosing extremely overrated these days. M go on, you're
Speaker 1: a look at the macro dose? What are you psychonaut
Speaker 1: over here? I'm not an expert in any way. I'm
Speaker 1: a novice at best. Okay, but everyone's like it's coming
Speaker 1: like everywhere I turned, it's micro dosing everywhere. And I've
Speaker 1: tried these little like gummies m hm. And you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll take one of these and you're like wait, and
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I don't know. I think the micro
Speaker 1: doses just an excuse to sell more of these doses.
Speaker 1: What what what doses? What chemical compound are we talking about? Specifically, Okay,
Speaker 1: you've got psilocybin gummies. See when I do it, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like pre like measured anything like, I'll be
Speaker 1: in control of it. But even then, I think there's
Speaker 1: a difference. I think there's the one version of micro
Speaker 1: dosing that got hugely popular because of all the like
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley people who are like micro dosing LSD, you know, Mike,
Speaker 1: open up new parts of my brain or whatever, amazing
Speaker 1: things for my coding right right right. And then also
Speaker 1: then there's the version too that people also say micro dosing,
Speaker 1: which is like, don't so much that you have a
Speaker 1: like you overdose on mushrooms that have a full trip,
Speaker 1: just enough to get goofy and open. And I think
Speaker 1: that's I think there's a reconciliation of those two definitions
Speaker 1: that probably has to happen. But I think for yeah,
Speaker 1: like trying to I think that like you're saying, these
Speaker 1: marketed versions, I think there's something a little bit interesting
Speaker 1: about that because it feels like they're really capitalizing on
Speaker 1: like the interest in it rather than like what's the
Speaker 1: most effective thing or whatever. Yeah, because I'm saying I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing because everyone should be careful when taking drugs obviously,
Speaker 1: like I I'm so, I'm so skittish and supportive of
Speaker 1: like being careful, but um, these like the package says like,
Speaker 1: you know, take take a micro dose, take like one
Speaker 1: a day for five days in a row, and like
Speaker 1: if you do that, it's like it actually is it's
Speaker 1: just like equivalent to nothing. Like I don't think it's
Speaker 1: expanding your mind. I think you're just eating a gummy
Speaker 1: and getting ready to buy another pack of gummies in
Speaker 1: a couple of days. Oh so for you, your experience
Speaker 1: has been like, all right, let's go, let's turn a
Speaker 1: corner with this little gummy. And then it's like, what
Speaker 1: the funk is this? You're just like Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess I'll take more. I don't know. And then
Speaker 1: the whole day goes by and you're like, I think
Speaker 1: I should have taken twenty, right, Like I think I
Speaker 1: should have just taken twenty. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: doing with this. It's not anything. Yeah, they're that's some guidance.
Speaker 1: Definitely helps. Yeah, the way I've heard of it being
Speaker 1: used as like so it's supposed to be sub perceptual
Speaker 1: likelo below the level of perception, and it's meant to
Speaker 1: replace like antidepressants in some case not not replaced, but
Speaker 1: being an alternative that people are free to explore if
Speaker 1: they're interested in trying it. But that's so so I
Speaker 1: mean in the same way that like you don't take
Speaker 1: you know, antidepressant to feel something, you know, other than
Speaker 1: over time. Like I think that's the only context that
Speaker 1: I've heard it being kind of medically advised. But if
Speaker 1: you're looking to like actually feel something, it doesn't, I agree,
Speaker 1: I think the bottom because so back in the day
Speaker 1: I did, like I I interviewed this guy, James Fadiman,
Speaker 1: who's like one of like the pioneers of like you know,
Speaker 1: psychedelic use and micro dosing, and like it's if I
Speaker 1: think the biggest benefit are probably for people who like
Speaker 1: would obviously have that kind of experience under the supervision
Speaker 1: of like a professional who's actually trying to help understand
Speaker 1: how that would help you. Because I think it's it's
Speaker 1: gotten into the recreational space or just like you hear
Speaker 1: about it and like all of these things that it's
Speaker 1: helped in, like these studies with very like specific applications
Speaker 1: that I think it gets a little bit muddied where
Speaker 1: it's like, oh shit, I want to like and now
Speaker 1: like I want to buy that when that's not necessarily
Speaker 1: like I had the most It took like a meeting
Speaker 1: with this doctor, like this guy James Fadiman for me
Speaker 1: to even have an experience and like I was understanding
Speaker 1: what I need to be looking for, and that helped tremendously,
Speaker 1: like for example, like facilitating anxiety over like creating stuff off.
Speaker 1: Like if I would sit down to write, I used
Speaker 1: to fucking really wait and like do a lot in
Speaker 1: my head before I would even like start moving my
Speaker 1: hands on a keyboard, and like he would do this
Speaker 1: experiment after a micro dose, like you wait and he's like, okay,
Speaker 1: let's try something like why don't you just like write
Speaker 1: something you're feeling. And I just didn't. I didn't wait,
Speaker 1: like like we're doing a lot of a b testing before,
Speaker 1: like just for fun, like let's play operation okay, and
Speaker 1: let's see how you do off like just normal, And
Speaker 1: I was like so in my head and focused and
Speaker 1: trying to get everything done at a certain time. And
Speaker 1: then after I've done like a micro dose, I was
Speaker 1: just engaging with the process, just differently where I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna try and take all
Speaker 1: these out without getting in my head. And I think
Speaker 1: it's different for many people. But I get your point
Speaker 1: because the marketing of it does almost seem like people
Speaker 1: have been like, yeah, man, here's the magic jelly bean.
Speaker 1: But that well, also, if you watch, like I watched
Speaker 1: one of those Netflix documentaries where they like, you know,
Speaker 1: show people doing these experiments and like doing the guided
Speaker 1: dozing and everything, and they do the mega dose and everything,
Speaker 1: it's like people see God and realize that life is
Speaker 1: infinite and that they're not going to die and that
Speaker 1: everything is great. And I was like, oh, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: like where's that right? It doesn't it doesn't add up totally.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get that without like a really
Speaker 1: intense yeah dose and experience. Yeah. I mean I was
Speaker 1: gonna say overrated the American Office, Am I right? But yeah,
Speaker 1: we already covered it. I think you guys had great
Speaker 1: great those were great reactions, which make me feel more
Speaker 1: educated than less. Yeah, I'm just I'm just a guy
Speaker 1: trying to take as many mushrooms as possible. That's where
Speaker 1: we're landing. I'm just a guy. Standing in front of
Speaker 1: you trying to take as many mushrooms as possible. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take you a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: do an underrated and we'll get into some news. And
Speaker 1: we're back and we do, of course robbed like task,
Speaker 1: our guest, what is something you think is underrated? Scented candles? Okay,
Speaker 1: just across the board. You go into someone's house and
Speaker 1: they've been burning like a PF candle, and immediately you
Speaker 1: feel a little safer. You feel like, what's what's a
Speaker 1: PF candle? Well, it's a brand. It's like it's a
Speaker 1: it's a accessible hip brand candle of scented candle. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the brown jar with the little labs. Yeah, they're like everywhere.
Speaker 1: They're like huge. But you know it's in l a based,
Speaker 1: relatively independent company, I think, but like not not Yankee candles.
Speaker 1: I'm not like I was telling someone about I was
Speaker 1: talking about candles for a while to a friend and
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, yeah, but like Yankee candles, and
Speaker 1: I was like, don't talk to me about Yankee candles.
Speaker 1: If I have the opposite experience when whenever I walk
Speaker 1: into a place that is burning a Yankee candle. I
Speaker 1: I feel like they're trying to cover up something bad smelling,
Speaker 1: like that's just my automatic because that's how it was
Speaker 1: used throughout my life. Yeah, exactly. No. I always think
Speaker 1: about like a snickerdoodle, like so sweet, too strong holiday season,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I feel sick, I'm gonna throw up.
Speaker 1: But you know, the hip there's so many hip candles
Speaker 1: that are you know, range and expensive to whatever. But
Speaker 1: I'd say, if if you're looking to start your year off, better,
Speaker 1: get a nice candle that's gotta like a hip logo
Speaker 1: and burn in your house and when people come over
Speaker 1: so much better. I do it alone, just for me.
Speaker 1: It's really just for me. Out what kind of sense
Speaker 1: are you into? You know? Woods tobacco. Tobacco is a
Speaker 1: great watiqu Wood tobacco is a great one. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, now get I'll get into floral. I'm
Speaker 1: not afraid. I don't care. I'll get a rose. Oh.
Speaker 1: I love to bros. Love tube bros. Give me a
Speaker 1: good tube bros. I'm I'm They're also shout out can
Speaker 1: Trip candles. That's another homie from Maryland. Oh cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard of them out in l a. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: guys with incense or is that too far? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know I do a yeah, Japanese like incense. I've
Speaker 1: burned a lot of Japanese incense. I've always been a
Speaker 1: big incense fan from when I was very young, and
Speaker 1: it was the first way I got high was just
Speaker 1: inhaling as much incense as that possibly could. When I
Speaker 1: burn it in my room, just straight into your nose.
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, trying to do the French inhale. You know,
Speaker 1: like that's making me cough just thinking about trying to
Speaker 1: probably neurological disorder. There used to be that like college
Speaker 1: store at the mall that was like it was before
Speaker 1: hot topic and it was like hip and that was
Speaker 1: like for me. It was called like the college store
Speaker 1: or something, and it was like tied eye t shirts
Speaker 1: and like incense and a glass case with like knives
Speaker 1: and little I guess I don't know if they're weed
Speaker 1: bowls or things that like I didn't Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: had tons of insects. Wait, I have to plug my computer,
Speaker 1: and I'm really sorted and they're gonna be like, wait,
Speaker 1: I have to plug my candle company. Oh, my candle company.
Speaker 1: Oh other questions. You fun with a woodwick, but I
Speaker 1: don't use any. But I don't use any now because
Speaker 1: they crack, all right, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. They
Speaker 1: gotta frighten me now. It's like I'm afraid something's going
Speaker 1: to pop out of the they. I love those things,
Speaker 1: the candles. I think they're exciting. They feel like it's
Speaker 1: like it's like the pop rocks of candles, Like it's
Speaker 1: very hack. But I'm like, yeah, Miles is a huge
Speaker 1: fan of the magic birthday candles that keep coming back.
Speaker 1: How do they keep going? How do they keep them going?
Speaker 1: The cake? I don't want to know. I don't want
Speaker 1: to but they always get mad at me when I
Speaker 1: spit on him. I was like, I know how to
Speaker 1: put them out, and uh yeah, it's usually just round
Speaker 1: the candle. Yeah all right. Well, also I just have
Speaker 1: to I have to shout out confetti cannons. I don't know,
Speaker 1: have you guys the reflect with a coffetti cannon before,
Speaker 1: like the one made by t NT, the place that
Speaker 1: like makes a little snapper things you throw on the
Speaker 1: ground and like, oh monster snaps. Yeah, so the company
Speaker 1: that makes us also make a coffetti cannon that We
Speaker 1: didn't do much for New Year's but like you know,
Speaker 1: we were It was me and the kids and my
Speaker 1: wife and we got this confetti cannon that I was
Speaker 1: like hyping up. I was like, well, when it turns nine,
Speaker 1: we're doing the coffetti can and guys, I'm like I
Speaker 1: was expecting it to be sort of a dud and
Speaker 1: it was a lot. It was powerful and the comfetti
Speaker 1: went everywhere and I have to recommend them. Got it
Speaker 1: at Target and yeah, indoors, I was indoors. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then we immediately swept it all up. It's just like
Speaker 1: bounce off of all the walls. And I mean it's small,
Speaker 1: it's not like it's just when when you have him
Speaker 1: like party favors in my like that caliber of like
Speaker 1: a fun novelty. It definitely exceeded. And there I think
Speaker 1: there's some pyrotechnics involved because it makes like a loud
Speaker 1: like cap guns sound. Thing made a big sound. I
Speaker 1: just like that. You're do you remember in cone Heads
Speaker 1: the movie where Dan Ackroid is in charge of doing
Speaker 1: the fireworks display at the high school and he brings
Speaker 1: like a little bottle rocket and he like goes off
Speaker 1: and it like pizzles. I was like, and this guy's like,
Speaker 1: way to go, cone head. And then he puts his
Speaker 1: sunglasses on and like a fucking Aurora Borealis, like blast everybody.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm just picturing you being like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what this little fucker can do.
Speaker 1: And then like everyone's like as a sun tan from
Speaker 1: my life. My kid's hair is still back. What are
Speaker 1: you doing here? That's right? All right? Well, shout out
Speaker 1: confetti cannons. Shout out confetti cannon. Speaking of the new year,
Speaker 1: we got a new Congress and it appears to be
Speaker 1: generationally dysfunctional. It's dysfunctional on a level that we haven't
Speaker 1: seen in decades. Right this is I would I mean
Speaker 1: there we say a century, because the last time they
Speaker 1: failed to actually uh you know, elective speaker was nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty three, and that took like I think nine tries
Speaker 1: or something like that. Right now, I just watched, as
Speaker 1: of this recording, I watched the eighth ballot go up
Speaker 1: to try and elect a speaker again. Kevin McCarthy is
Speaker 1: not even close. The detractors are even growing, and so
Speaker 1: we so we're still kicking up. We don't have a
Speaker 1: Congress technically yet, because until there's a fucking speaker chosen,
Speaker 1: they can't swear it in. They can't swear anybody in.
Speaker 1: So we're in this like very just middle place where
Speaker 1: everyone's just technically a member elect. And Kevin McCarthy, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's sort of the architect of his
Speaker 1: own demise just because he's had this fantasy of being
Speaker 1: Speaker swirling around his head forever and it was has
Speaker 1: been willing to do literally fucking anything, like in pursuit
Speaker 1: of this power, you know, like including having his spine
Speaker 1: surgically removed. Also like delivering Candy Grahams to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to curry favor. He sorted his Star Wars Star Wars
Speaker 1: for him, right, yeah, because he likes the he likes
Speaker 1: the pink ones and he likes the red ones. And
Speaker 1: I got your favorites and I hand picked them and
Speaker 1: I put him in a fucking jar for you. Daddy,
Speaker 1: make me speaker was kind of the vibe, and he
Speaker 1: got his position. Uh then if you remember in January six,
Speaker 1: he's like I've had enough of this Trump guy, blah,
Speaker 1: like he were done. Then he's like, actually, never mind,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna obstruct any kind of possible investigation into this,
Speaker 1: so he's he's kind of all over the place. And
Speaker 1: because he also would make deals with Democrats, you know,
Speaker 1: to like keep the government funded, this has just created
Speaker 1: like this group of like never Kevin's as they call them,
Speaker 1: like Matt Gates and these other like like Andy Biggs
Speaker 1: and like the other one note insurrectionists that have just
Speaker 1: managed to use their numbers. They're a little bit of
Speaker 1: just these few detractors have prevented him from getting the
Speaker 1: necessary votes to become speaker. And it's hard to look
Speaker 1: at what's going on and be like, no, they actually
Speaker 1: have demands because ideologically they're very similar, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, They're all just varying degrees of like hate hatred,
Speaker 1: so they're they're pretty lockstep in that part. So now
Speaker 1: it's just like very personal. And I think these a
Speaker 1: lot of people was just being like, you know, this
Speaker 1: small group there. They like to hold this group hostage,
Speaker 1: and they maybe they think they're gonna get more concessions
Speaker 1: or maybe not, but they have someone that they're they
Speaker 1: want instead. Is it like it It feels it feels
Speaker 1: very much like they're doing this to show the Republicans,
Speaker 1: what it's like to not be a Republican and have
Speaker 1: to deal with Republicans. They're just like, we don't want it,
Speaker 1: and they're like that, but if you don't pick, we
Speaker 1: can't pass bills. I don't care what just the whole point, Yeah,
Speaker 1: without any end in sight other than because that's why. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there are there are some people, but like you know,
Speaker 1: right now, the one person that has been brought up
Speaker 1: a lot is Byron Donalds of Florida, who this is
Speaker 1: such a transparently cynical pick because he's black, and like,
Speaker 1: I think these other Republicans like, what if we pivot
Speaker 1: to him and it's not Kevin McCarthy, and plus also
Speaker 1: we can claim not racist at the same time. It's
Speaker 1: really quite clever what they're doing, but it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like that's making a needle. But I do want to
Speaker 1: play a couple of clips because it's starting to fucking
Speaker 1: piss off, like like even the people on Fox, because
Speaker 1: they're like, just fucking pick, okay, just get this, just
Speaker 1: get with Kevin, Okay, so we can move this thing.
Speaker 1: But I think and because every day it's not happening,
Speaker 1: it just looks terrible you're actually demonstrating people you have
Speaker 1: you are literally unable to get the government going if
Speaker 1: you even if you have power, you can't even do
Speaker 1: that small step. Lauren Bobert has said all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: She's like, maybe we could even you know, have Trump,
Speaker 1: we could nominate trumpet speaker. That's like more Q and
Speaker 1: on nonsense. And her whole thing was like, well, at
Speaker 1: least if Congress isn't moving, they're not gonna waste all
Speaker 1: this money, which is not true because if you remember
Speaker 1: that one point seven trillion dollar bill that past just
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks ago, that money, that's
Speaker 1: money spent. That's not going to stop. Although good luck
Speaker 1: getting your paycheck, because that would be effective if you
Speaker 1: don't want to be or that would be affected if
Speaker 1: you don't want to do anything. So at this point,
Speaker 1: it's just such a sad look for the GOP. On
Speaker 1: top of everything else, that Fox is just trying to
Speaker 1: shame them into voting for for Kevin. And I just
Speaker 1: want to play this clip of Sean Hannity just being
Speaker 1: just so exasperated with Lauren Boebert and she's like yeah,
Speaker 1: and like they're not gonna be able to do ship
Speaker 1: because yeah, I guess what, like there's their new kids
Speaker 1: in town. You said complimentary things about President Trump. Needs
Speaker 1: to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have
Speaker 1: the votes. It's time to a draw. Let me turn
Speaker 1: the tables car this woman, Kevin McCarthy has two two
Speaker 1: three votes. Your side has twenty. So if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: use your words and your methodology and your math, isn't
Speaker 1: it time for you to pack it in and your
Speaker 1: side to pack it in? Considering he has over two
Speaker 1: hundred and you have twenty. Sean, I understand the frustration,
Speaker 1: I promise you, but I'm not frustrated you can't answer
Speaker 1: my question. We are not frustrated. Okay, he's not get frustrated.
Speaker 1: I do martial arts. I am an m m A
Speaker 1: master who vapes vape. Have you heard of that? It's
Speaker 1: m m A and vape clouds contests. Okay, but yeah,
Speaker 1: this it's it's wild to see. What do you think?
Speaker 1: How are you looking at it? Rob? I think Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity is frustrated. Actually I don't. I'm not frustrated. I'm
Speaker 1: not frustrating. You're frustrated. You're frustrated. Rob, because I'm not frustrated.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. No way, not me, not
Speaker 1: never not. I mean, they play with fire, they get burned.
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're so I it's hard to have
Speaker 1: energy for what is always going on with what what's
Speaker 1: to do with Fox and then the fringe E and
Speaker 1: how they work together sometimes and then they go against
Speaker 1: each other, and it's exciting to see them not agree,
Speaker 1: I think because you're like, yeah, you idiots. But then
Speaker 1: at the end of the day we all suffer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing gets done, a mess upon a mess that stops
Speaker 1: other important things from happening, which sucks the other. The
Speaker 1: other thing was even on Fox and Friends they used
Speaker 1: the fucking I word to describe these never Kevin people
Speaker 1: that are holding up the selection of the speaker. This
Speaker 1: is Brian Kilmeade using the eye word to describe Republicans.
Speaker 1: If it's Washington, I would I mention there's a lot
Speaker 1: of bologny on it. That was a joke about pizza afterwards,
Speaker 1: so that they could discuss ways to get around this. Well,
Speaker 1: I should give you this joke because jokes good. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, we got that joke is so fucking
Speaker 1: bo Yeah, you guys, joke is so fucking bad. It's
Speaker 1: about they were talking about how there was this they
Speaker 1: knew they were McArthur is in trouble because like they
Speaker 1: were rolling in like fucking palettes of pizzas to his
Speaker 1: office to be like, we're not fucking leaving until we
Speaker 1: figured this out. Glynn on a cart just big. I
Speaker 1: mean they're just doing it for the three Yeah, three does.
Speaker 1: And I think at that point you just say cheese.
Speaker 1: You don't ask people what you want on it, right,
Speaker 1: you just say we're ordering pizza. If it's Washington, I
Speaker 1: would imagine there's a lot of bologny on it. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's why people put on pizza. Ye bround, we're normal.
Speaker 1: If it's the Republicans, I'd imagine it's a Supreme pizza
Speaker 1: because they're white supremacists. Freshness or Jackian use that word. Sorry, right,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. If you picked Jim, just how
Speaker 1: insincere the insurrectionists are, it might probably shouldn't use that word.
Speaker 1: The people that don't want to Saba Sabbage. So this
Speaker 1: so if you're picking Jim, that's a little here, like
Speaker 1: he just got shot. Collared said that it seemed like
Speaker 1: his little collar went off if he looked like Chris
Speaker 1: Delia in that one clip when he found out snapchats
Speaker 1: can be fucking shotted. He was like, I mean Satucci,
Speaker 1: that Stanley Tucci. Yeah. So anyway, that's where they're at
Speaker 1: their flailing, and McCarthy is now adding all kinds of
Speaker 1: sweeteners to try to get people like, look, we'll put
Speaker 1: a thing where if five of you don't like me,
Speaker 1: you can have a vote for a vote of confidence
Speaker 1: against me to get me out. I'll let you do that.
Speaker 1: Like he's fucking being like, here's the noose and the
Speaker 1: like and the gallows. You can be in charge. I'll
Speaker 1: put it around my neck. Will you now vote for me?
Speaker 1: And they're like, nah, funk out of here. So now
Speaker 1: we're looking like so now there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: looking like, well the can the Democrats like y'all are
Speaker 1: lockstep every time, voting for Hikim Jeffreys every time. That's
Speaker 1: not changing, Like there's no movement there. So there's talk
Speaker 1: of like all this fucking you know, as many people
Speaker 1: point out sark and ask West wing bullshit of like
Speaker 1: maybe there could be a coal a consensus coalition government
Speaker 1: and the Democrats could work with the Republicans. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: you think, for the amount of progressives that are even
Speaker 1: in the party, there's no way they're gonna be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: all these rules, rules changes and things that they're proposing
Speaker 1: to make it easier for them. No, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: fucking they're not gonna entertain that. So this is gonna
Speaker 1: drag on into next week for sure, until whatever deals
Speaker 1: are made or Kevin you know, decides to just bow
Speaker 1: out disgracefully, as he should, because again, this is what happens,
Speaker 1: you know, like the second Obama got in office, he
Speaker 1: started bringing in all these Tea Party Freedom Caucus motherfucker's
Speaker 1: and now we're just watching them like reap what they
Speaker 1: sew in real time, which is kind of cool because
Speaker 1: it's all on c Span like in four K. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and another funny thing is just to add is one
Speaker 1: thing to this little nice moment to this. Until a
Speaker 1: speaker is actually chosen, the Clerk of the House, which
Speaker 1: is like this more like it's not an elected officials position,
Speaker 1: but the Clerk of the House is the one who
Speaker 1: is procedurally like in charge in lieu of a speaker
Speaker 1: being chosen, and that luckily that's a black woman named
Speaker 1: Cheryl Johnson. So, like, you know, and I'm sure, I
Speaker 1: don't know if maybe the racism will get to the
Speaker 1: Republicans at a certain point where they're like, by default,
Speaker 1: this black woman is at the head of the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives. Maybe that's enough for them to do something.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but it sounds like
Speaker 1: this is what happens when people are only there to
Speaker 1: no She's like, it's like a like a non partisan
Speaker 1: non partisan people. Yeah, yeah, got it. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well let's take a quick break. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about what's going on at the Capitol on
Speaker 1: January six this year. M hmm. Yeah, exciting time and
Speaker 1: we're back. So, you know, people who are sick of
Speaker 1: watching Giant Lincoln sit around doing nothing all day. Last year,
Speaker 1: the Capitol reopened for tours for the first time since
Speaker 1: the pandemic, So you have a new option. You don't
Speaker 1: just have to sit there and stand outside. I didn't
Speaker 1: watch nothing happen in those those big statues. But as
Speaker 1: we talked about, at that point, tour guys were still
Speaker 1: awaiting guidance on how to address the January six the text,
Speaker 1: which I have to feel like is the first question
Speaker 1: that you're getting on any one of those tours at
Speaker 1: this point, right, it would at this point be a
Speaker 1: January six tour, like when a massive moment in history
Speaker 1: happens anywhere, you're like, that's what this is now, Like
Speaker 1: there's so much of course there's history before, but yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the distraction is too high. You'd be like, uh, everyone
Speaker 1: has hands up, like no questions Like eleven museum, Actually
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to talk about not the day nine eleven.
Speaker 1: You're just allowed to talk about the architecture of of
Speaker 1: the twin towers like that type of just like bury
Speaker 1: your head in the sand type of yeah, that's creepy.
Speaker 1: But if someone asks if you if you go on
Speaker 1: the tour and say, hey, isn't that the place where
Speaker 1: that guy like put a big like horns on his
Speaker 1: head and was running around with the American flag without
Speaker 1: a shirt on, you will be told that they're not
Speaker 1: allowed to speak on it, which I feel like this
Speaker 1: has to be until they invent a new incredibly highly
Speaker 1: paid position that is just like sin eater for the
Speaker 1: stupidity of our politics, and it's just sitting there being
Speaker 1: like all right, here we go. Let's you know, all right,
Speaker 1: macro dos whatever they want and you know, so so
Speaker 1: many drugs, so much healthcare, and they go in there
Speaker 1: and they go in knowing they're about to do battle
Speaker 1: in the in the field of ideas with people who
Speaker 1: you know, just want you break your brain. Essentially, are
Speaker 1: people who would love to be like you're gonna be
Speaker 1: a proxy for Nancy Pelosi? Are you ready? And you're
Speaker 1: like what? No, like so much even if they this
Speaker 1: wasn't a rule, so much of my body would be
Speaker 1: screaming just just say yeah, I'm actually not allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about it, but I would love to, fellow patriot,
Speaker 1: but I just can't because you know, you know, who
Speaker 1: will cancel me? Like yeah, I feel like that where
Speaker 1: I would go, like after five days of arguing with people,
Speaker 1: just like give me the look out of here. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine, like who would who's doing the tour,
Speaker 1: like are are like intense like right far right insurrection,
Speaker 1: It's like still doing the tour, Like let's take another look.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll you know, get better bearings on the place. Well,
Speaker 1: if they heard that they were talking about the about
Speaker 1: the January six insurrection on the tour, you can I
Speaker 1: can guarantee you they would be showing up probably to fight, yeah,
Speaker 1: insisting that they have the right to open carry during
Speaker 1: the tour and and train the gun on you as
Speaker 1: as you have the argument. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just so they just have like kind of kicked
Speaker 1: the can down, like they're the official statement like from
Speaker 1: the people that the capitol is there was no special
Speaker 1: decision about January six. It is simply that the tour
Speaker 1: focuses on the history of Congress and the art of
Speaker 1: architecture of the Capitol, which is like that, Uh, it's
Speaker 1: just I mean, here's the problem, you know, is you're
Speaker 1: not there. It's they're in a position where you have
Speaker 1: to be unequivocal about reality at the expense of these
Speaker 1: people's cognitive dissonance. And it's just like they're like, we
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I mean, we know what
Speaker 1: the funk happened, but we're not about to be like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're saying, that didn't happen. Like
Speaker 1: there's just there there they there's no energy for that,
Speaker 1: especially not from the government or you know, like a
Speaker 1: position like this to your points, totally unfair proposition for
Speaker 1: someone who's just trying to do a job, like you're saying,
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, can you mediate one of the most
Speaker 1: cataclysmics like socio political events of recent memory in real
Speaker 1: time at the place that happened. It's just it's just
Speaker 1: not gonna work like that. But I'm sure Republicans love
Speaker 1: the fact that that is the case, because their whole
Speaker 1: thing is like, it's it's so polarizing. Democrats are gonna say,
Speaker 1: how the funk are you not going to talk about this?
Speaker 1: Are you? What the funk are we doing? Republicans like,
Speaker 1: don't politicize this political act. It's attempted to overthrow of
Speaker 1: the government because we didn't like the results of an election.
Speaker 1: Don't politicize that. Yeah, And I'm not saying they shouldn't
Speaker 1: like create a new position. That is just like, you know,
Speaker 1: so thing for the people who are in the debate
Speaker 1: team in high school to do. Instead of becoming Ben Shapiro,
Speaker 1: they could just like go there and have arguments with
Speaker 1: people and like deal with the stupidity. And but as
Speaker 1: of as of now, like just having the same the
Speaker 1: tour guide to be in charge of that I think.
Speaker 1: I think I've got to site the president of I
Speaker 1: got a lot of tables, man on this one. The
Speaker 1: quote from cable guys this, why is there pepsi at
Speaker 1: a medieval times? Oh then you don't have utensils? Immediately, Wait,
Speaker 1: so they have utensils, but they had pepsi and medieval times. Look,
Speaker 1: I got tables. Yeah, exactly. I don't know, like what
Speaker 1: is the alternative automation? So it's like a robot who's like,
Speaker 1: funk out of here. This is what happened, moving on,
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Guided like prerecorded guided tour
Speaker 1: with an armed security guard who's like not gonna put
Speaker 1: up with any bullshit. So you know, it's just like
Speaker 1: what the gun trained on you? Yeah, and just like that, assholes,
Speaker 1: they're like okay, moving on, room or whatever. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: feel like because that would be the only way you
Speaker 1: could spare somebody having to debate, is like if you
Speaker 1: had some kind of display or you know, exhibit to
Speaker 1: sort of answer those questions. But even then it's like,
Speaker 1: are people gonna yell at the inanimate objects? A screening
Speaker 1: room where you like show the clips and show the like, yeah,
Speaker 1: actually what happened? Get it out of the way, right,
Speaker 1: no commentary, no commentary, just show some clips. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember that's what happened here. Wow, because wow, they're
Speaker 1: all wearing kind of the same stuff. Anyway, Okay, what else?
Speaker 1: And so the person in charge of this decision is
Speaker 1: the Architect of the Capitol, which seems like a trumped
Speaker 1: up like that seems like a really nice title to
Speaker 1: get someone who's just in charge of it, Like they
Speaker 1: didn't They're not the architect of the capital decades ago.
Speaker 1: That feels like the oricle from the mats or some
Speaker 1: ship master. Yeah, wasn't the architect a person in the matrix?
Speaker 1: Wasn't that like one of those that the Asian guy,
Speaker 1: the little Asian dude about all the keys anyway, the
Speaker 1: homie with all the keys from the mat So it's
Speaker 1: an architect of the capital who's in charge of this decision.
Speaker 1: As a trumpet point tea named J. Brett Blanton and
Speaker 1: great name ja so here took the J out whatever
Speaker 1: his name is John whatever, He took that out because
Speaker 1: he wanted to emphasize the Brett Blanton part of his name,
Speaker 1: which rules J Brett J bred was that J. Brett Blante.
Speaker 1: We just call him Blantee. They don't even have when
Speaker 1: you go to his Wikipedia page, they don't even you
Speaker 1: don't even know what the fucking J is. No, it
Speaker 1: just says J dot Brett, j dot Brokay, do not
Speaker 1: go there. So he's a trumpet pointe and just know
Speaker 1: be because this decision, people started looking at the job
Speaker 1: he's been doing. Blanton was recently accused by federal watchdog
Speaker 1: of ethics violations, which included offering private capital tours to
Speaker 1: quote patriots in and allowing his family to drive cars
Speaker 1: assigned to him solely for official use, which so so
Speaker 1: like at one point, you know, he's in one of
Speaker 1: these capital police looking SUVs and that's what he's given.
Speaker 1: And then somebody's like driving a Walmart parking lot and
Speaker 1: his daughter comes like screaming out of out of the
Speaker 1: Walmart parking lot and like almost takes them out and
Speaker 1: then gives them the finger. And this like suv that
Speaker 1: is like capital official. So that got reported, yeah, as sirens.
Speaker 1: In fact, he impersonated a police officer after his daughter's
Speaker 1: boyfriend's car was hit by a car that drove away.
Speaker 1: He used his Jeeps emergency equipment package to blast a
Speaker 1: sire and chase the guy down, claiming that he was
Speaker 1: an off duty cop. Somebody needs to green light a
Speaker 1: reality show about him and himself, him and Scott. Yeah,
Speaker 1: abuses of power lt. That's right, Jay Brett. Dude, come on, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta do better than that. I mean right now.
Speaker 1: He's also in the news too, because Matt Gates is
Speaker 1: complaining to him that Kevin McCarthy moved into the Speaker's
Speaker 1: office already, and he's like, excuse me, architect. I guess
Speaker 1: he's like also the fucking like superintendent of the building,
Speaker 1: like the way he's like mediating though there's a week
Speaker 1: over here. And also, yeah, I don't think he's supposed
Speaker 1: to be here. I think he's a squatter. He like
Speaker 1: wrote a letter like accusing him of squatting in the
Speaker 1: office or whatever. I mean, which I get it too,
Speaker 1: Like you know, you didn't have the votes. It's kind
Speaker 1: of both of you to be like, alright, this my office.
Speaker 1: You might have to move your ship out. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get out of watching him real briefly and get
Speaker 1: into the evolution of human behavior and specific the human walk.
Speaker 1: There's a Wired article about this new study that basically
Speaker 1: is saying they have figured out like that there's a
Speaker 1: second hitch, a second bounce in the human walk, which
Speaker 1: is not a mystery I was aware of, but apparently
Speaker 1: it's one that scientists have been puzzling over. Like we
Speaker 1: we don't bounce once with each step, we bounced twice
Speaker 1: and it the article and the study just made me realize,
Speaker 1: like walking is such a massively complex thing we do
Speaker 1: every day without thinking about it, and like science can't
Speaker 1: have you guys ever, like watched the videos of robots
Speaker 1: trying to walk on two feet. Yeah, it's a disaster,
Speaker 1: my guy. They just can't get it right kind of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just they look like they're you know, like that
Speaker 1: the ones that actually look somewhat impressive are the ones
Speaker 1: that are like trying to replicate how dogs walk and
Speaker 1: that those actually work like on on our all fours.
Speaker 1: And there are also like that. There's a video from
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago of cow Tech, Like the
Speaker 1: CBS News went into cow Tech and they showed like
Speaker 1: the best they have for human two feet walking and
Speaker 1: it it looks like ship like it's it's still a disaster,
Speaker 1: but they did have this like one thing that they
Speaker 1: had those really impressive. It's like a prosthetic that goes
Speaker 1: basically takes the place of your like knee and shin.
Speaker 1: And when you look at like the inside of this
Speaker 1: prosthetic shin at like all the things that are happening
Speaker 1: too in order to like fine tune the weight shifting
Speaker 1: that happens inside our foot just like automatically every day
Speaker 1: with every step we take. It's like full of all
Speaker 1: these like worrying like conveyor belts and just like levers,
Speaker 1: and just like it's the most complex looking ship. And
Speaker 1: I think of my foot is like a dumb blunt
Speaker 1: instrument that I'm just like that might as well be
Speaker 1: a crutch bottom. You know, it's just a thing, but
Speaker 1: it's the super delicately balanced thing. Well that's so I
Speaker 1: thought of crush bottom because like the best that they had,
Speaker 1: at least cal Tech had as of two years ago,
Speaker 1: was like a robot that was like walking on these
Speaker 1: two little like balls. Like that's basically they're not even
Speaker 1: trying with the strike four ft kind of yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just like that ship's way too complicated and like amazing
Speaker 1: and intricately designed. We're just doing like tennis balls. You're
Speaker 1: walking on tennis balls. And so the thing that they
Speaker 1: figured out is basically that the second hitch that we
Speaker 1: all like somehow unconsciously learned along the way. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I I think I don't think it's there the second
Speaker 1: you learn to walk, you know, when like babies are
Speaker 1: taking their first step, it's still pretty like step then
Speaker 1: like fall forward onto the next step, fall forward on
Speaker 1: the step. But somewhere along the way you get the
Speaker 1: second hitch. And it's apparently to conserve energy because our
Speaker 1: legs are super super fucking huge and heavy like compared
Speaker 1: like when they do a design analysis of the human body. Though,
Speaker 1: like you know why the legs so big, Like the
Speaker 1: legs really shouldn't be this big, they're so they're stupid big,
Speaker 1: Like my legs account for like se my body. Like
Speaker 1: that's and that's like a lot of people like we're
Speaker 1: all just big crumb drawing thick daddy's out here with
Speaker 1: our plumpers. But it's so we need this like second
Speaker 1: hitch of the I think it's happening in the ankle.
Speaker 1: There's like one at the hip level that like swings
Speaker 1: the leg forward, and then another at the ankle that
Speaker 1: like kind of pops you forward a little bit, but
Speaker 1: the the idea that the way they did the analysis
Speaker 1: was just sort of simplifying it to just the ankle,
Speaker 1: the knee and the hip and that, and then treating
Speaker 1: the whole thing like it's a ball rolling to like
Speaker 1: figure out basically how the system works. And it's like
Speaker 1: from a step to step. If you are just analyzing
Speaker 1: it on a like one step basis, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: But as an overall like system efficiency over time, it
Speaker 1: actually conserves the energy. And they think it came like
Speaker 1: we first learned it because the way that we hunted
Speaker 1: was not We weren't like quick strike hunters who like
Speaker 1: jumped in and like fought a thing to death. We
Speaker 1: would just like annoy the animal to death by like
Speaker 1: following them, walking after them to the point of exhaustion.
Speaker 1: So like the most the most accurate pop culture example
Speaker 1: of what it was like to be hunted by a
Speaker 1: human is the Friday the Thirteenth movies where Jason just
Speaker 1: like probably walks after you while you're like sprinting and
Speaker 1: like burning your like oh my god, no, And yeah,
Speaker 1: but we've kept it because it's, yeah, like we're kind
Speaker 1: of we're built for the marathon rather than the sprint
Speaker 1: as a as a species, and so we we have
Speaker 1: this like ingenious architecture. Shout out to the architect, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: my architect, Jesus Christ. That's what the that's what the
Speaker 1: J stands for Jesus. But yeah, it's like this learned
Speaker 1: behavior that like I wasn't even aware of them. When
Speaker 1: I watch a slow motion like someone walking, I like
Speaker 1: kind of see something's happening, but it's basically like elongating
Speaker 1: your stride a little bit more. It doesn't happen when
Speaker 1: you're running. It almost happens. It looks so obvious when
Speaker 1: you see animators do it because they know about the
Speaker 1: double bounce walk cycle for in animation, and it's easier
Speaker 1: for me to see it. When I look at this
Speaker 1: compute like like exaggerated thing, it's like, oh yeah, the
Speaker 1: first knee bend and then the next one goes to
Speaker 1: like set you off, And I'm like, that's why. Thank you,
Speaker 1: just sort of amateur three D animation YouTube channel for
Speaker 1: helping me understand that's very stupid looking when when you
Speaker 1: see it exaggerated like that. But yeah, but look at
Speaker 1: us now, Look at us now, assholes. Look at us
Speaker 1: now animals that we hunted to exhaustion, but that we
Speaker 1: just followed by walking to the point of exhaustion. I
Speaker 1: love that. Just it's slow walk fitting. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: just like we'll wear you down. That's all because there's
Speaker 1: like that one tribe in Africa like that's able to
Speaker 1: hunt like these like that's I remember. That was like
Speaker 1: the first example I learned about like the efficiency of
Speaker 1: human hunting, which is like, no, man, we just walk
Speaker 1: after it and it's gonna give up and then we
Speaker 1: can just stab it to death. And it's crazy. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine walking after an animal and it like not
Speaker 1: getting away though, So it's they're they're also like good trackers. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: so it has to say it's basically it has to
Speaker 1: sleep at some point, and that's what you're counting. And
Speaker 1: I don't not at all. I'll be just fine. Yeah, exactly. Well, Rob,
Speaker 1: truly a pleasure having you on the first t DZ
Speaker 1: of the of the year three is it? YEA, let's say,
Speaker 1: where can people find you? Follow you, experience you, I'd say,
Speaker 1: just go straight to the and stuff and stuff you're putting.
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that the Spanish version with an accent
Speaker 1: on the A. Yes, that's the one Jack, Actually act
Speaker 1: like you've studied abroad in Spain. Yeah, j Rob, Michael
Speaker 1: Hugo is the is the tag account there? And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all over the place amazing. And is there
Speaker 1: a tweet or some of the work of social media
Speaker 1: you've been doing. I'm I'll be honest, I'm off that Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'm really far off it. There you go like you're
Speaker 1: not using it, not like you're off it, like I'm
Speaker 1: off fat, I'm not using it. What off did you mean?
Speaker 1: Off that Twitter? I don't know, ignoring the colloquial sense
Speaker 1: he was getting Brooklyn with it, Honestly, No, I don't
Speaker 1: have a social media but a show or something something
Speaker 1: media wise, I do. I do. It's gonna blow your
Speaker 1: minds Seinfeld on Netflix. I've never heard of it. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a great show. It's a show that's basically about
Speaker 1: what for white people and you gotta see it. This
Speaker 1: is Jack. This is exactly what I was saying we
Speaker 1: needed on TV. I know, it's something new, something fresh.
Speaker 1: I started watching it with my girlfriend as a joke,
Speaker 1: like she hadn't seen some episodes, and we started and
Speaker 1: then slowly our minds started to like melt and it
Speaker 1: became like a three day marathon of Seinfeld, which has
Speaker 1: ups and downs, is a real ride if you actually
Speaker 1: do revisit, you know, if you have, if you've seen
Speaker 1: it already, because it can get really crazy. It's it's
Speaker 1: an interesting window into culture of the time, good and bad.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. I'm just in it for the soundtrack. But
Speaker 1: if you say the show parts good, I believe you. Yeah. Eventually,
Speaker 1: kind of everything in your life that happens, you'll start
Speaker 1: to hear the little like what's the deal of my roommate?
Speaker 1: Just close the door. He's a door closer. He's a
Speaker 1: door closer. You can't get with the door closer. If
Speaker 1: it goes really easy to just write some episodes real fine, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just do that. Treat yourself to that. Yeah, she's got
Speaker 1: a micro dose micro definitely a micro dosing episode, a
Speaker 1: micro or macro Right, baby, Miles, where can people find you?
Speaker 1: What's the tweet you've been enjoying? Find me? If there's
Speaker 1: a symbols at miles of Gray and probably there what else?

Speaker 1: Dr Bonner's like castile soap and then uh this like
Speaker 1: the brag organic Apple cider vinegar and it said, you
Speaker 1: can't tell me these two have it hooked up and

Speaker 1: Blanc tweets, all the things in Ben wa Blanc's voice.
Speaker 1: FK Cooper Cooper co tweeted haven't seen a single blank
Speaker 1: tweet that actually captures his voice. Just a bunch of
Speaker 1: nonsense that sounds nothing like him. Truly awful posts and
Speaker 1: Mrs Brown's Catboys responded with a screen cap of ben

Speaker 1: got his ass right back, and I like. I like
Speaker 1: the ben Wa blanc tweets and I enjoy I watched
Speaker 1: what's it called glass Onion and then had to rewatch
Speaker 1: the first one because we enjoyed glass Onion and I
Speaker 1: enjoy it, and I think people are nailing the voice. Uh.
Speaker 1: Harry Lovely tweeted, I've been selling books long enough to
Speaker 1: know when a guy is going to buy infinite Just
Speaker 1: it's just a weird little superpower that you get from
Speaker 1: being a bookseller. You can find us on Twitter at
Speaker 1: daily Zeitgeist. We're at the Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We
Speaker 1: have a Facebook fan page on a website Daily zygeist
Speaker 1: dot com where we post our episodes and our footnotes
Speaker 1: where we live off to the information that we talked
Speaker 1: about in today's episode, as well as a song that
Speaker 1: we think you might enjoy. Hey Miles, Hey, Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: is there a song you think people might enjoy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a song. If you've heard DJ Daniel and I
Speaker 1: talked when he's guest co hosted. We keep talking about
Speaker 1: this one artist, Fred Again, and there's this track that
Speaker 1: he teased in the summer called Rumble, and always say
Speaker 1: when is this going to come out? I always see
Speaker 1: him do the performance of it and then he does
Speaker 1: a spin back and then tease his audience and he's like,
Speaker 1: I can't play it for you, and it sounds you're
Speaker 1: ready to rumble that I was ready to rumble. And
Speaker 1: it turns out I'm not rumbling only with Fred Again,
Speaker 1: but also SCRILLI, I guess is also a co producer
Speaker 1: on this track. So this is Fred Again and the
Speaker 1: track is called Rumble, and it's just like a the
Speaker 1: beat is as nasty. It just feels like I don't
Speaker 1: know if they were like uh like more like what
Speaker 1: we know is like American gangs in the fifth element.
Speaker 1: I feel like they would be slapping this out of
Speaker 1: there like floating cars. M sorry, I just also wanted
Speaker 1: to share this one tweet. Terence Ray tweeted the NAVI
Speaker 1: simply wouldn't know what to do with a guy like
Speaker 1: has been sure a pet detective. Conversely, Ace would be
Speaker 1: stumped by the fun out of Pandora, just a disaster
Speaker 1: all around. He would beat the ship. He would play
Speaker 1: those ships where he plays the mushrooms like drums, and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he actually might be pretty fun to have in one
Speaker 1: of these sequels. Anyways. You can find the song in
