Speaker 1: just keeping with the dad vibes. Really be like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's good to have, but it's good to have a
Speaker 1: local pharmacist. Like I used to always wonder how my
Speaker 1: mom had sort of ingratiated herself with Like there's you know,
Speaker 1: Rob at the grocery store who picks out the best
Speaker 1: fruit for her, and like she has it. I don't.
Speaker 1: I've never gotten anything tailored as an adult that I
Speaker 1: can recall make my wedding dress. But like, I don't
Speaker 1: have a tailor. I don't have a butcher. I don't
Speaker 1: have I don't have my like you know, group of
Speaker 1: experts that I can lean on. It's all a singularity,
Speaker 1: you know, just go to some Jeff Bezos owned entity
Speaker 1: to solve all of those issues. Amazon. Amazon has a
Speaker 1: pharmacy now. They do everything for seriously, like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: your best friend. We do everything in a mediocre fashion.
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely well, we'll do this without the human contact. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think that's why it's important you go to
Speaker 1: like a like a like if you like a butcher,
Speaker 1: like a place as a proper butcher in it, because
Speaker 1: then they'll like you can kind of talk to them
Speaker 1: and they they'll give you advice. But yeah, other than
Speaker 1: fruit all, I know, like, I'm always like, I always
Speaker 1: get that like weird self consciousness when you see people
Speaker 1: picking the fruit that you've never like. I'll go to
Speaker 1: the farmer's market or some ship and they're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: these guavas, and I'm like, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: fucking check if they're right. So I just sniff everything.
Speaker 1: I'm like like trying to see what the other people
Speaker 1: are doing, like, and someone will come up there like
Speaker 1: just check the tenderness. I'm like, oh, okay, I was
Speaker 1: smell what you do. Some fruit is so intimidating, it's
Speaker 1: it's level fruit. Yeah. Oh yes, is dragon fruit one
Speaker 1: of those? I feel like dragon I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't even know what dragon fruit looks like, and it's
Speaker 1: on I don't even know what it looks like in
Speaker 1: any no waed I do it looks It's like it's
Speaker 1: like at the red with the flaming, the green flames
Speaker 1: coming off. Basically, yeah, it looks like a dragon egg.
Speaker 1: And when it's cut, it's like white and speckled and
Speaker 1: has no flavor. I think, or has like a subtle flavor. Well,
Speaker 1: the there's actually there's a purple one that is super
Speaker 1: sweet and the white one has a sweetness to it
Speaker 1: like water. I didn't know I was talking to Mr
Speaker 1: dragon Fruit over here. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I'm proud
Speaker 1: of I don't know if you could tell I'm proud
Speaker 1: of my the fact that I've become a dragon fruit
Speaker 1: car dragon fruit? Where did you? Where did you accrue
Speaker 1: this knowledge? My wife is a real fruity, She's real,
Speaker 1: real into fruit, and so she she takes me up
Speaker 1: a level when it comes to, you know, all the
Speaker 1: more exotic fruits. I don't think I had had mango
Speaker 1: before we started dating. And yeah, it was just apples
Speaker 1: and bananas and oranges, orange slices, fruit, just real basic
Speaker 1: gas mediocrity in my fruit game up to that point.
Speaker 1: What's her your fruit fluence? Her wife? What's her favorite fruit?
Speaker 1: I think mango is probably her favorite fruit, but she
Speaker 1: she does she does appreciate had a good dragon fruit,
Speaker 1: any anything, but she she claims that she's allergic to
Speaker 1: cantaloupe and honey dew because what about honey melon. She
Speaker 1: likes that. I love hommy melon. Yeah, that's that's that's good.
Speaker 1: But she says that because like when you get a
Speaker 1: fruit salad, they love to fill it off with a cantaloup.
Speaker 1: It's like what kale used to be in a like
Speaker 1: nineties salad. Barr. It's just like, yeah, it's just we're
Speaker 1: just blowing the ship out visually. It's just to eat
Speaker 1: around it. Yeah, right, is it garnish or is it
Speaker 1: at lettis? I don't know. That's right. All right, Alison,
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 things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the great gas stove freak out of the US
Speaker 1: Consumer Product Safety Commission casually mentioned the possibility of a
Speaker 1: ban on gas stoves, and the GOP freaked the funk out.
Speaker 1: But then I don't they came back. They were like Sorr,
Speaker 1: you know, we're not gonna ban anything. We don't have
Speaker 1: the standing to ban anything. But then maybe they should
Speaker 1: band guest stoves. It turns out guest stoves are bad. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: We're gonna change myself to my gas stove and I'm
Speaker 1: doing this podcast from my kitchen with the burners on.
Speaker 1: But they're not little, that's right. I just love the smell,
Speaker 1: that's right. It smells like backdraft the ride the f
Speaker 1: A grounded some flights because of the system or like
Speaker 1: all flights basically was the most flights that have just
Speaker 1: been pulled out of the air and kept out of
Speaker 1: the air since nine eleven, I believe. And so we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that because that that also got politicized
Speaker 1: as to the Powerball lotto, uh somehow. So we're just
Speaker 1: gonna talk about these stories that are full of information
Speaker 1: that could be relevant to you, but that you have
Speaker 1: to like squint through a smoke screen of like right
Speaker 1: wing outrage and like, what what side are you on
Speaker 1: on this one? Like I don't know where are you
Speaker 1: on the Powerball debate. We're gonna talk about Pizza Hut
Speaker 1: bringing back the nineties with the New Yorkers style pizza
Speaker 1: and take a look back the original ad campaign man
Speaker 1: good Days. Yeah, they actually like one of the first
Speaker 1: ads for it was making fun of Hillary Clinton for
Speaker 1: being a carpet bagger. Basically, it was like a pizza
Speaker 1: Hut commercial future day, blond woman in a pant suit
Speaker 1: with a cartoonist Southern accent bragging about how she's going
Speaker 1: to be a New York senator. Dumb question perhaps, but
Speaker 1: what is the actly does carpet bagger mean? I always
Speaker 1: thought of it as like people who come in and
Speaker 1: like claim a new home for political purposes. Political candidate
Speaker 1: who seats seeks election in an area where they have
Speaker 1: no local connections. Oh right, like dr Oz Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I think it was in the beginning it was about reconstruction,
Speaker 1: the northern nurse pretending to be like, get in with
Speaker 1: Southerners and so those those are the people being like
Speaker 1: you carpetbagger, Like you're not from You're not from around here.
Speaker 1: But why carpet bag? Like, Jared, what is the car?
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get into it. I mean just sure,
Speaker 1: defensive end of a term. I shouldn't be using. It's
Speaker 1: us exclusively in a pejorative term originally from the carpet
Speaker 1: bags A form of cheap luggage made from carpet fabric,
Speaker 1: which many of these newcomers carried. The term came to
Speaker 1: be associated with opportunism and exploitation by outsiders. The term
Speaker 1: is now use in the United States refer to a
Speaker 1: parachute candidate, that is, an outsider who runs for public
Speaker 1: office in an area without having lived there for more
Speaker 1: than a short amount of time or without having other
Speaker 1: significant community ties. I mean, I would just love luggage
Speaker 1: made out of a piece of carpet, and I feel
Speaker 1: like it would be expensive or like you can kind
Speaker 1: of picture like a new carpet tote. Yes, like weird,
Speaker 1: weird draw string bag. That's like it'd be so like
Speaker 1: the is the nap of the carpet on the outside
Speaker 1: of it. It's got to be on the outside. It'd
Speaker 1: be so fun to run. It'd be actually funny if
Speaker 1: it's like it's just that rough part of the other
Speaker 1: side of carpet. They said it was a carpet bag,
Speaker 1: Like I thought it was the bag the carpet came
Speaker 1: in and it was just like a rough you know something.
Speaker 1: But no, when you look up carpet bag purse, like
Speaker 1: now it's just a person that looks like a carpet,
Speaker 1: so who I want one? That's like when I just
Speaker 1: I started like how to know what like a hit
Speaker 1: dog will holler? Like where that actually came from? And
Speaker 1: it's like about throwing a rock into a group of dogs,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and like becket dog will holler like
Speaker 1: the one that you hit. Like it just sort of
Speaker 1: as this metaphor and I was like, oh, interesting because
Speaker 1: all we know is that part like hit dog holler.
Speaker 1: But it's like a hotter thing about you know, this
Speaker 1: seems like a very straightforward one. It's like there's no representatives,
Speaker 1: just like things make sound when you hurt them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well the whole thing is like, right, the person who
Speaker 1: would be offended most is the one who will be
Speaker 1: the loudest or whatever that phrase. But it comes from
Speaker 1: this preacher, like this pastor preacher who basically said like
Speaker 1: there was some proverb which like throw a stone into
Speaker 1: a crowd of dogs and the hit dog will holler.
Speaker 1: There you go, and we all just before we get
Speaker 1: to any of that, Alison, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? Well, I don't know if you guys knows
Speaker 1: about me, but I'm pretty active on Google. So it
Speaker 1: was hard for me to narrow it down, but I
Speaker 1: did recently search the Thomas Brothers Guide. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys remember this book of maps that everyone
Speaker 1: in southern California had. I was going back and forth
Speaker 1: with a friend over tax, just doing a stupid bit
Speaker 1: where I was just like naming random items, and I
Speaker 1: named the Thomas Brothers Guide, and this person is not
Speaker 1: from something California. And then I was thinking, do they
Speaker 1: even know what I'm talking about? So then I googled it.
Speaker 1: First of all, apparently it's the Thomas Guide, not the
Speaker 1: Thomas Brothers Guide, but my memory was Thomas. Okay, so
Speaker 1: maybe that was just like but it was brothers. They
Speaker 1: were brothers, but I guess it was. Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 1: I think it was like a whole family of Thomas
Speaker 1: cartographers and like the if I remember correctly, that the
Speaker 1: dad owned it and then like the two brothers took
Speaker 1: it over and then they moved into making English muffins.
Speaker 1: But yes, yes it was a lateral move. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it it wasn't just it was like iconic in southern California,
Speaker 1: but not just southern California. They had him elsewhere. And
Speaker 1: it looks like they still are sort of active. And
Speaker 1: here's the interesting thing. Actually, it might not be interesting.
Speaker 1: Here's us here's a factoid. Um, here's an here's a thing.
Speaker 1: Police are required to keep Thomas Guide in their car.
Speaker 1: A I don't know. Can you imagine like a cop
Speaker 1: pulling over to you know, look in the index for
Speaker 1: their street name and the Thomas Guide and then look
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, they who like they go in
Speaker 1: the wrong house every time anyway, so the Thomas guy
Speaker 1: gonna do. But I remember that because when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, the Thomas Guide stayed under the passenger seat
Speaker 1: in my mom's car, like that's where it was, because
Speaker 1: I remember we go to a like I had to
Speaker 1: go to a birthday party. You know, in the early nineties,
Speaker 1: there was no fucking map quest. There was what's the address,
Speaker 1: what's the block number? Going the index of the Thomas Guide,
Speaker 1: figure out where that block of that street is. Okay,
Speaker 1: go to page fucking forty six seventeen, line up the grid.
Speaker 1: You see that, You're like, okay, I gotta get there
Speaker 1: from me. That was like the way I think, I
Speaker 1: guess It's like l A so sprawling, like there was
Speaker 1: no way you could really navigate it without it's got
Speaker 1: to be the biggest city, like in terms of square mileage, right,
Speaker 1: Like it's just there's I mean l A County. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is for sure. It's so haphazardly designed and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a mess there. So it makes sense now that
Speaker 1: I hear you saying Thomas Guide. That sounds much more
Speaker 1: correct than Thomas Brothers guide. I like Thomas brother you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it was wrong, but it was we went
Speaker 1: with it. The vibes were good. I guess technically Anchorage
Speaker 1: might be the largest city by area Anchorage, Yeah, really sure? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean, like I guess, like and big, sprawling, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's also so many because it's the second biggest
Speaker 1: in terms of population, I believe. Right, the top four
Speaker 1: are from Alaska or no, Sitka is the largest, the
Speaker 1: top four like large if we're going my area or
Speaker 1: in Alaska, then it's Kansas, Florida, Montana, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and then you get to Los Angeles. But how many
Speaker 1: destinations are there that need to be mapped in Anchorage? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly. And l A is massive, full of people,
Speaker 1: full of things to go do and see, and there's
Speaker 1: no other way to get anywhere other than carcase because
Speaker 1: they ripped up the trolley tracks in the twenties. Good,
Speaker 1: there were trolley tracks here. It had the most extensive,
Speaker 1: like cable electric streetcar system in the world, and they
Speaker 1: ripped it up because car companies and because companies. Wow,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Boys, I'm carpetbags l a trolley's
Speaker 1: Thomas Guide. This is so fruitful. Well we are now
Speaker 1: the Dadly's like gust as we pointed out, So this
Speaker 1: is this is the sort of ship you're going to
Speaker 1: learn around here. Miles. Did you have a kid or
Speaker 1: is this about to about to you? Are? To date
Speaker 1: is February three? Yeah? Yeah, that's my birthday. Oh really wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll see. Maybe he'll be on time, or maybe he'll
Speaker 1: be early and it'll be closer to my mom's birthday.
Speaker 1: We'll see. But yeah, I'm I'm just you know, I'm on,
Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm on watch right now. Wow. Congratulations, I
Speaker 1: had no idea. So much happened. And since I've been here. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't you know I'm doing a daily podcast. There's
Speaker 1: so many details about your life. That people know some
Speaker 1: things you got to just kind of hold onto for
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit, because it's always jarring when people
Speaker 1: comes like, hey, man, March seven, your parents just got divorced. Huh?
Speaker 1: And I remember I'm like, oh, that's right. I had
Speaker 1: a weird thing where somebody at like I was at
Speaker 1: a strip mall with like my kids, and somebody we
Speaker 1: were were there with like my four year old best
Speaker 1: friend and his family, and the other debt had said Jack.
Speaker 1: And then somebody walked by and said Jack to me,
Speaker 1: and that was like, is that little Jack? And I
Speaker 1: didn't know if they were a fan of the show
Speaker 1: or if they were just like weird, you know, because
Speaker 1: like I could like it was hard to tell, but
Speaker 1: if you're a fan. Sorry for my confused response, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that little Jack. What the fuck? What
Speaker 1: the fund did? Sorry? Man, I'm not used to being
Speaker 1: out in what is something you think is overrated? Wow?
Speaker 1: This goes right kind of into what you guys were
Speaker 1: just saying. I feel that everyone else in their goddamn
Speaker 1: opinions are overrated. First of all, I personally overrate them,
Speaker 1: but being someone who has a podcast, occasionally I hear
Speaker 1: frequently I hear people's opinions about everything about me and
Speaker 1: my show, and oh, the way you pronounced that word
Speaker 1: bothers me. The way you say this bothers me. Um,
Speaker 1: And because I do overrate it, then I have to
Speaker 1: be like, fine, I guess I'll just change the way
Speaker 1: I do everything to appease you. So I just feel
Speaker 1: like in general, people with all their opinions, if they
Speaker 1: happen to have to do with me and are negative
Speaker 1: and make me feel bad, no, thank you, just you know,
Speaker 1: they always say, you know, living on the words of
Speaker 1: others is a double edged sword, you know, because the
Speaker 1: compliments and like how are you up? But if if
Speaker 1: you really lean on that, the criticism will just cut
Speaker 1: you in half too. And I think it's about for
Speaker 1: me personally, Like throughout my life I've tried to get
Speaker 1: away from that because I'm such a people pleaser that
Speaker 1: I really do care a lot about what people think.
Speaker 1: And it's more about centering yourself and everything you do
Speaker 1: and realizing that the most true a living experience you
Speaker 1: can have is to honor what who you are sincerely
Speaker 1: and really understand that outside commentary can allow those words
Speaker 1: to like penetrate into your soul, because then you're completely
Speaker 1: doing yourself a disservice and not treating yourself with the
Speaker 1: sanctity that you deserve. That is beautiful and and I
Speaker 1: actually that's sort of I go back and forth a lot,
Speaker 1: like that's something that for the most like I I
Speaker 1: have that realization, maybe not as eloquently as you put it,
Speaker 1: but I have that realization frequently, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden I will find that, like, oh, this these
Speaker 1: comments bothered me. That's weird. I thought I was a
Speaker 1: little more armored. Um. All that being said, allow me
Speaker 1: to say I'm being somewhat facetious, Like, for the most part,
Speaker 1: I love that people listen and have an opinion, and
Speaker 1: of course I want to hear feedback and all of
Speaker 1: that stuff. I'm just saying occasionally, I'm like, not today
Speaker 1: people occasionally they should consider shutting the funk up. Everyone should.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like that you have no responsibility to be like, oh
Speaker 1: I heard that, whatever the funk you want, I'm not
Speaker 1: the same you know out here, I'm just look live
Speaker 1: your ship from the inside and let that resonate outside.
Speaker 1: Don't let the ship don't don't do that ship in reverse.
Speaker 1: Don't let the outside ship affect your internal state. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's so good. I recently, oh,
Speaker 1: I think it was I think it was Harry No did.
Speaker 1: Ginger was saying that the the Royal Families policy is like,
Speaker 1: never complain, never explain, and I was thinking, that's the
Speaker 1: opposite of my policy. I'm constantly I'm the most over
Speaker 1: explaining person in the whole world, right, and I'll complain too. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's healthier. Yeah, because the other side of it, you
Speaker 1: end up writing a book or you just like air
Speaker 1: out every weird thing that's happened you in your life.
Speaker 1: And you're like, okay, yeah right, I do want to
Speaker 1: read him that. Yeah, I know in it right now.
Speaker 1: She kept living getting updates from super Audio in real times,
Speaker 1: like Prince Charles wears do your sausage, and we're like,
Speaker 1: do your sausage, and it was age. And when I
Speaker 1: responded her and said, I was over here searching do
Speaker 1: your sausage, but your savages. So it's so perfect. But
Speaker 1: as I was trying to type savage, it auto corrected
Speaker 1: two sausage, like for like I couldn't get it. Too.
Speaker 1: It was like, no, you got what you mean? Do
Speaker 1: your sausage, my friend, that's amazing. Yeah, do your sausage?
Speaker 1: What were you envisioning? Like some kind of high end
Speaker 1: sausage that he put on has sausage. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I thought this was something, yeah, but I was I
Speaker 1: didn'ting sausage that he put on his body. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: when I read that text, it sucked me up so
Speaker 1: bad because like, how do I not know? What? Do
Speaker 1: you got into a car crash? I listened I listened
Speaker 1: to so much wrap and like luxury brands are named
Speaker 1: you kind of buy osmosis are kind of up on ship,
Speaker 1: like the do you or sausage? Like is that a
Speaker 1: food or is that like a piece of jewelry that
Speaker 1: he keeps on him? Like he got that do or sausage?
Speaker 1: But what is your savage? Is that a line of
Speaker 1: something that is couper offensive? Johnny Depp cologne, it's doors
Speaker 1: cologne that they have where like Johnny Depp is in
Speaker 1: the ads playing electric guitar around like indigenous people's like
Speaker 1: in the desert and just very running with a wolf
Speaker 1: or some ship, so many scarves, like he's just being
Speaker 1: swallowed by scarves and he's just out there in the
Speaker 1: desert with the moon and wolves and indigenous people and
Speaker 1: heavy handed nonsense. It's it's like a thing that they
Speaker 1: they doubled down on him being the spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: product as he was on trial. Yeah, anyways, shout out
Speaker 1: the sausage though. Yeah, but the sausage has a great Snow,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underrated? I'm gonna say it,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be like, what, that's not underrated? But
Speaker 1: for me, it always has been bathrobes and the robe
Speaker 1: life which has chosen me. I have never been a
Speaker 1: robe person. For me, Robes are like something that I'll
Speaker 1: occasionally put on in a hotel when I get out
Speaker 1: of the shower and I'll think this is comfortable, and
Speaker 1: then five minutes later, I'm like, now what, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna put on my clothes. But it's been so cold
Speaker 1: in l a And in the morning when I get
Speaker 1: up and get my kids ready for school, I have
Speaker 1: been like, I think I need to make this mom
Speaker 1: step and just get a rope rope, And so I
Speaker 1: started putting on a robe to keep myself warm. And
Speaker 1: now I am like I have fully embraced this. It
Speaker 1: is my favorite thing to put on. I'm wearing a blanket.
Speaker 1: I've never looked more unattractive. It's big and white and fluffy.
Speaker 1: And my kids saying like a marshmallow, and I don't care,
Speaker 1: and my husband is not thrilled. But from my over
Speaker 1: my dead, from my cold, dead hands, I forget. But
Speaker 1: you can take my gas rope and you can take
Speaker 1: my robe when I'm dead. I love the robe life.
Speaker 1: I got a linen robe over the summer. Someone gave
Speaker 1: it to me from my birthday. That was I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: a lightweight robe for like. I was like, I could
Speaker 1: wear shorts and a tank top. But then tossing my robe, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I look like the dude. Basically, Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: close you can be to like being naked. I feel
Speaker 1: like because it's just coverage without any any sort of
Speaker 1: constriction whatsoever. But you know what I love is a
Speaker 1: long bathrobe though, like a long towel bathrobe that gives
Speaker 1: you full coverage. A lot of robes are like they're
Speaker 1: short if you're tall. If you get ones out of
Speaker 1: like length like longer length, Oh, come out the shower,
Speaker 1: like I'm not even chilled coming out the shower because
Speaker 1: I go right in that thing. The water is going mine.
Speaker 1: Mine is long, and I am afraid that I'm going
Speaker 1: to move too fast and trip and kill myself. But
Speaker 1: I'll go out in comfort. Yeah, the Game Changers has
Speaker 1: been realizing I can put it on over my clothes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: coat for your house. See, I'm scared of tripping on
Speaker 1: my robe. So that's why my robe is really short,
Speaker 1: no other reason, It's just I just like to keep
Speaker 1: it short. You tripping on it incredibly short, obscenely. So
Speaker 1: I love my cropped robe. Yeah. I did have it
Speaker 1: tailored to make sure that it was just extra snug.
Speaker 1: Keep some guessing, sir, Are you sure you just don't
Speaker 1: want to buy a jacket? If it was any shorter,
Speaker 1: it be illegal for me to get the paper anymore. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and so we have the the Great
Speaker 1: Gus to freak out. We have the f A grounding
Speaker 1: flights because of a system error and wokeness, and they've
Speaker 1: even like politicized, like kind of politicized the Mega millions
Speaker 1: and like how much money they're gonna take out of it?
Speaker 1: And I don't know, It's just it is a weird
Speaker 1: world that we live in. And and then also as
Speaker 1: we talked about like the Southwest meltdown and Buddha like
Speaker 1: getting completely excused by the mainstream media, it is a
Speaker 1: weird world that we exist in where everything is politicized,
Speaker 1: sometimes accurately, sometimes just arbitrarily. But let's talk about gas
Speaker 1: stoves because this first came across my desk when we
Speaker 1: had two scientists on the podcast. Miles, I think you
Speaker 1: were out, but they, you know, have a podcast where
Speaker 1: they talk about climate change, and they specifically started talking
Speaker 1: about gas stoves and how they are both very bad
Speaker 1: for the climate and also very bad for children's like
Speaker 1: cardiovascular health. And that bummed me out because we have
Speaker 1: a gas stove. Yeah and yeah, so anyways there this
Speaker 1: then popped up in the news because a member of
Speaker 1: the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said that a ban
Speaker 1: on gas stoves was a possibility, and one Congressman, but
Speaker 1: you know, it was just across the board, right wing
Speaker 1: freaking yeah, one congress and then say get your hands
Speaker 1: off our gas stoves. Tim Scott of South Carolina tweeted,
Speaker 1: you can always count on Biden to gaslight the American people.
Speaker 1: He put his hands up in the air when he
Speaker 1: said it, Oh, to receive the applause. And Senator, do
Speaker 1: you mind explaining that joke to me a little bit?
Speaker 1: You can in response, Oh, because it's gas and the
Speaker 1: gas gas stoves are lit lights the American people, Biden
Speaker 1: is doing. Oh do you know what gaslighting is? No?
Speaker 1: One does, No, one does not gas. That's not gaslighting, right, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's definitely not. But it's just a good way to
Speaker 1: use a buzzword where your audience isn't thinking critically at all.
Speaker 1: They're like, exactly, exactly, dude. But also maybe referencing an
Speaker 1: antiquated technology that was replaced with a safer electronic alternative.
Speaker 1: Isn't making the point you think it is? Maybe not,
Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe maybe not the time to pull that
Speaker 1: one in. But Joe Manchin, you know, let everybody know
Speaker 1: he was a real American. Sam. Last thing that would
Speaker 1: ever leave my house is the gas stove that we
Speaker 1: cook on. And all of these tantrums, no doubt inspired
Speaker 1: purely by food preparation preferences, and not say money from
Speaker 1: the natural gas industry. So I I have a preference
Speaker 1: for gas stoves because that's the only thing I've ever
Speaker 1: really used other than you know, an apartment here there.
Speaker 1: But like, for the most part, it's been gas stoves.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm used to using. I like the term
Speaker 1: now we're cooking with gas is like a weird, antiquated,
Speaker 1: like dumb thing to say all of this is part
Speaker 1: of the gas industries like decades long, centuries long propaganda campaign.
Speaker 1: It turns out it's been an It's an op the
Speaker 1: whole time. Stop holy shit. I mean the second they
Speaker 1: were like electricity. It's like, get every single person who
Speaker 1: people think is an authority on cooking or heating or whatever,
Speaker 1: and just sing the praises of gas and propane up
Speaker 1: and down the aisles. Please. That's kind of what's going on.
Speaker 1: I don't actually understand this. I don't understand why people
Speaker 1: think cooking with a gas stove is better. I grew
Speaker 1: up with an electric stove, and my dad, who's into cooking,
Speaker 1: always said he wished that we had a gas stove.
Speaker 1: And then after college I lived with a roommate and
Speaker 1: that was the first time we had a gas stove.
Speaker 1: And I remember I had two roommates. They went out,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I started I was smelling gas.
Speaker 1: So I got nervous and I called the fire department,
Speaker 1: and like fifteen firemen showed up. It wasn't a bachelor
Speaker 1: atte party, Like yeah, a number scrippers. Number of fire
Speaker 1: men were in my house looking all around. They didn't
Speaker 1: see gas anywhere. It was because my roommate had to
Speaker 1: use the gas stove earlier. And I was so humiliated.
Speaker 1: And I never told my roommates that I had done this. Oh,
Speaker 1: because you had never smelled the gas before. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that it leaves a smell for like a while
Speaker 1: after you use it. Yeah, I'm so used to it.
Speaker 1: I don't even know anymore. I don't. I think I
Speaker 1: must have grown up with the gas or a an
Speaker 1: electronic stove, because I still remember a friend who he
Speaker 1: had like one of those old times, like have you
Speaker 1: ever been in an older house that you could that
Speaker 1: like really smells of like cooking gas, Like I think that, yeah,
Speaker 1: and but I yeah, I remember like distinctly places that
Speaker 1: I went that smelled like cooking gas. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: this is a decades and decades long aggressive push to
Speaker 1: make gas stoves the thing. The one thing that they
Speaker 1: do have, Like they seem to always say, well, electricity,
Speaker 1: if you co with electricity, it's actually going to be
Speaker 1: more expensive in the long run because you're spending money
Speaker 1: on that. That's the first argument against any forward moving technology. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly from embracing it. Yeah, and it's because there's been
Speaker 1: so many because of people like Joe Manchin and all
Speaker 1: these politicians that were freaking out, there's been so many
Speaker 1: subsidies and just all these ways to make it profitable
Speaker 1: and you know, possible for gas natural gas to be
Speaker 1: like a massive growth industry in the United States. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so that is the one thing they they always warn't
Speaker 1: a gas band would dramatically increase your bills, and I
Speaker 1: I think that might be true. Oh Jack, we gotta
Speaker 1: play the cooking with gas track. But yeah, that's so
Speaker 1: the propaganda is so fucking aggressive. It's like, I think
Speaker 1: this should be enough to turn everybody off of cooking
Speaker 1: with gas from not on this video that we're going
Speaker 1: to link off to the footnotes and we're gonna watch
Speaker 1: together right now. So in addition to so the phrase
Speaker 1: cooking with gas was like they paid Bob Hope to
Speaker 1: start saying that in like his jokes and in his
Speaker 1: bits like they they have been. Every aspect of this
Speaker 1: has been carefully and successfully, just like nudging to injected
Speaker 1: into into our culture and into our brains. Less successful
Speaker 1: is this National Fuel gas cooking with gas videos. So
Speaker 1: this is a lobbying effort, like where they put together
Speaker 1: a rap video in in which five people in there
Speaker 1: like twenties and thirties rap about why gas is better
Speaker 1: than electric. Jack just stop hating it, let me drop
Speaker 1: the beat man. Oh my god, this is some real
Speaker 1: hip hop. Cooking with gas? We all cooked better women
Speaker 1: cooking with gas is so it's on when it's it's
Speaker 1: the only way to cook. That's what I was hought
Speaker 1: to He was a fact. You should have to know
Speaker 1: the past, not not attend chefs only with cap that
Speaker 1: just say kind of cook my way. The benefits would
Speaker 1: have to tell will really make the day listening class,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna go fast. Here are all the reasons
Speaker 1: you should cook. Okay, So, my god, keep an eye
Speaker 1: on when you watch it. Keep an eye on the
Speaker 1: guy with the like rat tail and the green apron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's really something else. He looks like if Brett
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh and Bobcat Golfweight were a person. Oh my god. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a very it's a very specific face he has.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't trust him. I feel like he
Speaker 1: was the head executive whose idea this was, and he
Speaker 1: like put himself in there. It was like, actually know
Speaker 1: what's cool? And I just sucking. I just sucking. Sock
Speaker 1: run DMC last night. They're fucking really good man. I
Speaker 1: think we can do some of that rap stuff with
Speaker 1: this gas campaign. Alright, wrap, I actually already have written
Speaker 1: in my brain just jay Z style. I don't even
Speaker 1: know who that is. I can see the future. I'm
Speaker 1: on so much cocaine. It's you. You always referenced that
Speaker 1: quote from Quincy Jones that like, whenever you bring an
Speaker 1: executive who's like talking about profit, God leaves the room.
Speaker 1: And this video was the first like perfect crystallization of
Speaker 1: what music where God has truly left the entire Solar system.
Speaker 1: Would like God is the tenth chef who doesn't use gas. Right,
Speaker 1: it's so dark, but yeah, it's it's interesting to see
Speaker 1: like the outrage because when you look at what like
Speaker 1: the emissions are You're like, yeah, objectively, it's better to
Speaker 1: stop burning fossil fuel, So I don't care how much
Speaker 1: less it is than everything else. The point is if
Speaker 1: we have the know how an ability to do it,
Speaker 1: then we should move towards it. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: other costs like involved to like if you don't have
Speaker 1: a volt outlet where an electric stove would go, that
Speaker 1: might be something, but this is like where subsidies should
Speaker 1: come in to help, like you know, make that easier
Speaker 1: for people to make the switch. And the other big
Speaker 1: issue too is like ventilation because most houses you have gas.
Speaker 1: You might have a gas stove, and your vent like
Speaker 1: just goals nowhere, you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 1: have a fan and really you're just blowing all that
Speaker 1: ship inside your house, which is also terrible. So there's
Speaker 1: like ways to like mitigate, but like the idea to
Speaker 1: even just approach this to be like no, it's a
Speaker 1: nonstarter electric stoves, that's like come the funk on. And
Speaker 1: I think that just shows how effective this like pr
Speaker 1: campaign that's been over the last nearly hundred years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more than forty million American households have gas stowes, and
Speaker 1: study found that they release two went six tons of
Speaker 1: methane into the air each here, which is the equivalent
Speaker 1: of five thousand cars over the course of a year.
Speaker 1: And they also admit unhealthy levels of nitrogen oxide, which
Speaker 1: can trigger breathing problems, especially in young kids. So I
Speaker 1: was looking at this New York Times article that was
Speaker 1: talking about like it was something that like the new
Speaker 1: the new soldiers in the climate war are like these
Speaker 1: home influencers because the gas industry is now getting like
Speaker 1: h G t V type people to go on local
Speaker 1: news and spread the gospel of gas. This I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play a couple. This one is from this guy from
Speaker 1: h d F h G t V. His name is
Speaker 1: Matt Blasha or something. He's on this like heavy handed
Speaker 1: local news segment about like, hey, the winner's coming up,
Speaker 1: so you should check out your like entergy, like you
Speaker 1: sho check out those heating things. And this guy just
Speaker 1: comes right in with some like weird ass like there
Speaker 1: is only gas type center Farmers Almanac. They're saying that
Speaker 1: we're going to have a very cold and wet winner.
Speaker 1: This influencers get ready for it. And when I think
Speaker 1: of winner, I think of being inside. I think of
Speaker 1: getting cooking with the family, like on the range behind me,
Speaker 1: being by a roaring fire, and with propane, that is
Speaker 1: all possible. That's why we call it an energy source
Speaker 1: for everyone in October se like what the you just
Speaker 1: went from the iconic like imagery of warming around the
Speaker 1: fire too, And that's why I think of propane through
Speaker 1: which anything is possible, the real source for all. Come on, sir,
Speaker 1: you're not doing a really bad job. Then on, like
Speaker 1: and these people are all paid by this like same
Speaker 1: propane group. Then there was this woman Emily Calandrelli who
Speaker 1: has a show on Netflix. She's like from M I T.
Speaker 1: And she's like a science communicator and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: tells like educates kids about science. She went onto this
Speaker 1: local Houston station to talk about electric buses are like
Speaker 1: what could be clean school buses? And I wonder what
Speaker 1: her take could be on clean energy conveyances. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's from M I T. Probably pretty good. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: this is the part that I'm really excited about because
Speaker 1: for me, and I think many of us grew up
Speaker 1: with these old dirty diesel buses. I can still remember
Speaker 1: the smell and you would see that thick black smoke
Speaker 1: coming out the tail pipe right, and in that thick
Speaker 1: black smoke. There are harmful emissions that are bad for
Speaker 1: the environment and bad for kids criss oxide. But the
Speaker 1: good thing, the good news is that there are now
Speaker 1: better alternatives for cleaner school buses today. Oh good, there's
Speaker 1: cleaner yeah, right, like propane school buses. So we're just
Speaker 1: a marginally higher cost. You can drastically reduce these emissions.
Speaker 1: Propane school buses actually reduce nitrous oxide emissions by nine
Speaker 1: six percent. That is amazing. So how would you say
Speaker 1: propane compares to electric buses? Like, what are these? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Stop the game. Think of clean vehicles, we often think electric.
Speaker 1: I drive an electric car myself. This is where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: everything you say after this is nonsense. If you care,
Speaker 1: if you give a fun enough to be like, I
Speaker 1: drive an electric car. Yeah, but we don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would drive a propane car if I could Obama
Speaker 1: third time. But yeah, I'm one of the good guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm also taking massive payments from the propane industry.
Speaker 1: And it's wild. In the New York Times, when they
Speaker 1: ask both of these people to comment, they said, oh,
Speaker 1: can you actually I would direct you towards the like
Speaker 1: Propane Energy Council. I'm not answering questions about any of this.
Speaker 1: Are they making when they say energy for everyone? Are
Speaker 1: they is propane crazy cheap? Or something like? Why is
Speaker 1: it for everyone? It is, Yeah, that's that's going to
Speaker 1: be because of because it's what the government decided. It's
Speaker 1: what it's the end. It's the chosen industry that the
Speaker 1: government has been like, Okay, we get money from oil people,
Speaker 1: and you know they're for we give them breaks and
Speaker 1: we make it possible for them to have really favorable
Speaker 1: market conditions to to sell it to people, right, And
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's just wild. We're we're looking at
Speaker 1: a fucking climate crisis and we're like, na, no, not
Speaker 1: electric yet, Like the government they're already putting out there's
Speaker 1: government's already shelling out billions to convert these fucking school
Speaker 1: buses to electric. So like in the argument, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's kind of more expensive. They're actually three times more
Speaker 1: expensive than a propane school bus. And it's like that
Speaker 1: you're still completely missing the point of like our six,
Speaker 1: our dire situation on the planet. You know, what's expensive
Speaker 1: going to another planet and setting up camp because this
Speaker 1: one's uninhabitable, right, Yeah, but we're not good at long
Speaker 1: term thinking in this country or this planet, it seems yeah,
Speaker 1: the I mean in a similar like story where it's
Speaker 1: a thing that affects everybody and immediately got politicized that
Speaker 1: a ground of flights Tuesday night before the order was
Speaker 1: lifted on Wednesday morning due to a system failure that
Speaker 1: delayed more than four thousand flights. Planes in the air
Speaker 1: were still able to land. It wasn't like a die
Speaker 1: hard to scenario where everyone they're like, keep circling, we
Speaker 1: don't know what the fox is going on down here.
Speaker 1: They were able to you know, land everything safely. And
Speaker 1: apparently the reason for this was the no TAM notice
Speaker 1: to air mission alerts, which detail info about hazards in
Speaker 1: the air or on the ground, such as closed runways
Speaker 1: airspace restrictions. These were created in when flying was more
Speaker 1: of a take your own life into your own hands
Speaker 1: type of appropriation, where it was like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: pretty safe, like one in four crash, but like that's
Speaker 1: still seventy You make it to where you're going and
Speaker 1: you're flying, isn't that thing? So there they've been around
Speaker 1: for a long time. These are very you know, they're
Speaker 1: based on similar messages that were used to alert and
Speaker 1: still are used to alert ship captains to hazards at sea.
Speaker 1: There through like legal liabilities and things like that, they
Speaker 1: have gotten clogged up. Do you guys ever get like
Speaker 1: those weather alerts that for that are like there's an
Speaker 1: alert in your area, and there's like thousands of words
Speaker 1: of text that are all identically sized and all all caps,
Speaker 1: and you have to like look through to like find
Speaker 1: the thing that's relevant to you when it blows up
Speaker 1: your phone. Yeah, when it blows up your phone. I
Speaker 1: also have some on Gmail. Yeah that, yeah, that tell you,
Speaker 1: like there there's a weather alert in your area. Nobody's
Speaker 1: warning me. I don't get I've never gotten a text
Speaker 1: like that. I've gotten one that's very succinct. That's like
Speaker 1: there's a flash flood warning, but that's is that from
Speaker 1: a friend of yours. I think I got a flash
Speaker 1: flood warning when there was actually like a flash flood
Speaker 1: that was not too far from us, And so I
Speaker 1: might have like signed up for a dish all like
Speaker 1: warnings and it's just impossible. So that's what it sounds
Speaker 1: like happens here, Like for the people who are familiar
Speaker 1: with it are like we've been saying, you need to
Speaker 1: overhaul this ship. Anyways. They can be up to two
Speaker 1: hundred pages. They very critical information in irrelevant details which
Speaker 1: are provided to avoid legal liability rather than improved safety.
Speaker 1: They're just said one person on the U. S. National
Speaker 1: Transportation Safety Board, a chairman on the U S. National
Speaker 1: Transportation Safety Board, No, tams are just a bunch of
Speaker 1: garbage that nobody pays any attention to. So not super helpful,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's good to know when something like
Speaker 1: this is malfunctioning, and clearly things need to be fixed.
Speaker 1: But this became a big political like talking point for
Speaker 1: some reason. Yeah. Yeah, because they decided to do diversity,
Speaker 1: equity and inclusion over there at the f a A.
Speaker 1: They weren't so folks like, it's so wild that these
Speaker 1: cynical people are just clipping out things that they have
Speaker 1: like a focus to, like racial equity or like income
Speaker 1: inequality because there I mean, obviously it's mostly let's be real,
Speaker 1: for the people that are criticizing it, it's fucking mostly performative.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: many people who work at places that have gone through
Speaker 1: this said they actually turned a corner here. So and
Speaker 1: that instance, I'm like, yeah, asked the people who are
Speaker 1: in the group that are asking for d E I
Speaker 1: if anything is changing, and I do trust me, I
Speaker 1: don't think this is what was distracting them. But that
Speaker 1: is the line the line of attack, which is if
Speaker 1: they didn't figure out gender pronouns or something like that,
Speaker 1: maybe the systems would work. And it's come on and
Speaker 1: just generally it does feel though like everything is a
Speaker 1: well our guys in the office, so like we have
Speaker 1: to spin everything as a win, or there guys in
Speaker 1: the office, so we have to spin everything as a
Speaker 1: loss and like politicize everything which is not is not
Speaker 1: new or interesting insight, I guess, but it's still just
Speaker 1: like it feels like we're on shaker ground than ever
Speaker 1: when it comes to just being able to tell like
Speaker 1: what the fund is actually going on in the country,
Speaker 1: It's like it's just such an sip Biden right, well,
Speaker 1: like even like Donald Donald Trump Jr. Is that what
Speaker 1: we call him, Donald Trump Jr. It sounds so weird,
Speaker 1: doju as we normally him here he was even like
Speaker 1: was it was Buddha Jed's took fraternity leave. He caught
Speaker 1: maternity leave. Yeah, sick, fucking homophobic, you loser, you uncool,
Speaker 1: fucking loser. But yeah, it's like it's I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: just exasperated at like how it's how insincere it all
Speaker 1: is because we're just talking about like it sees this
Speaker 1: idea of people's minds. It's like, I mean, if you
Speaker 1: talk about diversity, you're gonna lose sight of everything that's happened,
Speaker 1: like in their minds. The f a A like is
Speaker 1: like this play where people have to keep pressing a
Speaker 1: button every fourteen minutes or something, and because they had
Speaker 1: to go do a d e I seminar, they got
Speaker 1: to press the button and that's what happened. Like it's
Speaker 1: just so very simple, but I guess it's easier to
Speaker 1: understand for the purposes of your propaganda efforts. You gotta
Speaker 1: gotta get gotta get some wins every every days. Your argument,
Speaker 1: which am I right that your argument is that for
Speaker 1: everyone saying that bullshit like it's a bad faith argument,
Speaker 1: none of them actually believe that, Like, no one actually
Speaker 1: on that side. I mean, I think the followers might
Speaker 1: but sorry, that's highly concending. But like, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anyone who actually thinks, like, well, you could
Speaker 1: have a co ed bathroom or you can keep planes
Speaker 1: in the sky. Can't do both. Yeah, it's easier because
Speaker 1: it's like it's like saying, you know how to get
Speaker 1: the crowd to cheer, yes, and you know, and if
Speaker 1: you're not to rock them, if you're not to rock
Speaker 1: the mic, so to speak, then you just have to
Speaker 1: like keep putting out these sort of sentiments. And they
Speaker 1: don't need to be logical, you just like because everyone's here,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm I'm primed to get angry
Speaker 1: at these people, so just give me a reason to scream,
Speaker 1: and that's what they do. It's like it's because they're woke.
Speaker 1: The planes crashed and like like I love this ship.
Speaker 1: It's so easy, man. The retweets come in like nothing.
Speaker 1: But then it's also like because they're so ignorant and
Speaker 1: aggressively wrong, like makes you want to be like, no,
Speaker 1: they're good actually, and then you know, yeah, they're the best,
Speaker 1: and like such a like counterproductive environment to be consuming
Speaker 1: information about a world that can harm us, like and
Speaker 1: that like can you know that we need to be
Speaker 1: able to navigate And it's just like very we're very
Speaker 1: incentivized to be like missing the point in a lot
Speaker 1: of different important ways, just like at all the vaccine bullshit,
Speaker 1: you know, and like you fucking Diamond of Diamond and
Speaker 1: Silk died pushing all this like anti vaccin. She was
Speaker 1: hospital yea Diamond passed away like three days ago. She
Speaker 1: was in the hospital with COVID for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you're like Diamond and I get, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're such a fan. Well, it just it
Speaker 1: is kind of it's a big you know, right wing influencer,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, taking off to the big couch
Speaker 1: in the sky. But it's just like, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the escalation of this because we already have a group
Speaker 1: of people who are like I don't even know if
Speaker 1: science is real, you know, and then what's gonna come next,
Speaker 1: because if this is the momentum that they're on, like
Speaker 1: it's it feels like that one South Park episode, like
Speaker 1: in the first season where the volcano was gonna come
Speaker 1: and destroy the city and everyone watched that safety video
Speaker 1: about being like if you duck and cover, you will
Speaker 1: be protected from the lava flow, and like in it
Speaker 1: that people duck and covering the lavage just goes over
Speaker 1: them and like they're safe. Like that people are gonna
Speaker 1: be like, oh ship, duck can cover y'all and then
Speaker 1: cut to the real scene when it happens, and then
Speaker 1: just skeletons just came out from the magma, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's what we're like. We're seeing a
Speaker 1: version of this over and over and I just think
Speaker 1: there there's always gonna be some version of this, And
Speaker 1: the evolution of this is what's really fucking freaky, because
Speaker 1: if you have enough people to be like, ha ha
Speaker 1: it this my my like, you know, my my ideology
Speaker 1: led to an early death. Yeah. Just but I was smug,
Speaker 1: smug the whole time. I got to laugh smugly at
Speaker 1: them all. I didn't just personally like I want to
Speaker 1: be told when I'm wrong. Just let let me know
Speaker 1: when I'm wrong. Oh, by the way, I was wrong
Speaker 1: about the uh the robots walking on two legs. Somebody
Speaker 1: sent me a video of like the latest and first
Speaker 1: of all, I don't know like how many videos there
Speaker 1: were of the robots walking on two legs where the
Speaker 1: thing like tripped and fell over, but they can do
Speaker 1: impressive ship. So I was I was outdated to my
Speaker 1: information on that particular subject. But yeah, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: everybody just wants to be right and rooting for the
Speaker 1: for the right side, and like we're nobody's on any
Speaker 1: team other like your side will fuck you over so quickly.
Speaker 1: Like they Yeah, I think a little more independent. They're
Speaker 1: just trying to make money and not rock the boat
Speaker 1: that pays them. What did you think? What's the robot
Speaker 1: two legs thing? Just I was talking about how complex
Speaker 1: the human foot is and the human walk like this
Speaker 1: thing we do without thinking, and I was like, they
Speaker 1: just did this study that like kind of analyzed the
Speaker 1: human gait and was like there's the second bounce that
Speaker 1: we hadn't really been able to explain, but they had
Speaker 1: like kind of figured out the fluid dynamics of the
Speaker 1: human walk. And while I was saying that, I was like,
Speaker 1: for instance, this is why robotics like they're so bad
Speaker 1: at mimicking the human walk, and they are pretty bad
Speaker 1: at it like generally, but there there has been a
Speaker 1: breakthrough where there's like a parkour robot that can run
Speaker 1: and jump and like do incredible things on to leg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you look at it, they do have the
Speaker 1: foot like down Like the connection foot to leg is
Speaker 1: pretty impressive as compared to like the things that we
Speaker 1: were looking at before, which we're just like little crutches
Speaker 1: that the thing was like walking them. Yeah, or those
Speaker 1: wind up toys you kept showing us, like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the best they got. Wind it up again. The chattering
Speaker 1: teeth are throwing off the balance. Let's stick a long
Speaker 1: robe on one of these robots and then let's see
Speaker 1: what happened. Thank you. All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. And we're back, and so is
Speaker 1: Pizza Huts big New Yorker pizza. Man, I haven't heard
Speaker 1: that in a year. I can't believe they're the big
Speaker 1: New Yorker. I thought this was just here and that
Speaker 1: might just be because I'm that much older than you,
Speaker 1: But this was there. I mean, I think it might
Speaker 1: be because Domino's has a Brooklyn style that is like
Speaker 1: a similar concept. Oh yeah, but the being I remember,
Speaker 1: I think I remember very clearly because in l a
Speaker 1: New York pizza is like the Apex and it's like
Speaker 1: you gotta go to New York to have a New
Speaker 1: York slice kind of thing. So when Pizza Hut was like, hey,
Speaker 1: people who are not in New York, we will bring
Speaker 1: you this other version, and we were like New York
Speaker 1: style pizza, like you know, and our minds were fucking
Speaker 1: blown out here. So this is part of a long
Speaker 1: term trend of fast food companies bringing back old nostalgic
Speaker 1: menu items, presumably to trick us into feeling as though
Speaker 1: we're not rapidly hurtling toward old age and death. We
Speaker 1: talk a lot on this show about that there is
Speaker 1: this massive and somewhat unprecedented cognitive dissonance that everyone alive
Speaker 1: right now is having to deal with, which is like
Speaker 1: the impending climate doom and the fact that we just
Speaker 1: like exist in this system that is not doing anything
Speaker 1: about it. And so I don't know, Like, I think
Speaker 1: I made fun of a trend caster last year for
Speaker 1: saying like, Nostalgia's back, and I'm I'm like, yeah, nostalgia
Speaker 1: has never been gone present concept, right, but it also
Speaker 1: feels like it it would make sense for nostalgia to
Speaker 1: be back back more and more than it ever has
Speaker 1: been before, because we are in this unprecedented time of
Speaker 1: again cognitive dissonance with the end of the world and
Speaker 1: us all being just working parts of a system that
Speaker 1: is sending us towards that without really changing pace. And
Speaker 1: also loneliness, which like studies have shown that loneliness makes
Speaker 1: nostalgia much more potent or attractive to people. And we
Speaker 1: are now lonelier than we've ever been thanks to the
Speaker 1: fact that we don't have Butcher's. You have Butcher in Amazon,
Speaker 1: you know, like we were talking about earlier. B U
Speaker 1: t c h R b t h R. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's like the cultural consumerism version of
Speaker 1: me wanting to just sit around in a fluffy bathrobe
Speaker 1: and be cozy. Like I think also because of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: we've been cut off from familiarity and normalcy, so it
Speaker 1: makes you want, you know, it's like and alone with
Speaker 1: our pain. Like that's a huge part of that experience
Speaker 1: of like, you know, on top of it being by
Speaker 1: yourself and like having all this time to think about
Speaker 1: your situation. Right, It's like when you go to a concert,
Speaker 1: you do want to hear the songs that you're familiar with,
Speaker 1: right right, right, right, right right. I wonder if it's
Speaker 1: more than like the nostalgia like that we're regressing to
Speaker 1: try and keep ourselves like just on some level of
Speaker 1: like stability is more like the cynicism of just how
Speaker 1: like consumer like marketing things work where they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's right, all these millennial is now, I guess like
Speaker 1: because we're becoming the group that they want to target,
Speaker 1: like with this kind of ship, because like they got families,
Speaker 1: they're gonna buy ship. Hey remember that ship when you
Speaker 1: were twelve or whatever, And now we're like yeah, because
Speaker 1: you couldn't really do that with our parents. You know,
Speaker 1: there was like just the like consumer goods weren't like
Speaker 1: evolving at that pace where like you could come back
Speaker 1: and be like, hey man, remember the old malt shop
Speaker 1: Like it's coming back, Like it would come back in
Speaker 1: weird ways, like we had cathe fifties and ship like
Speaker 1: that you remember, like would be Steve Jobs. This whole
Speaker 1: thing was like I'm going to sell computers that you
Speaker 1: work on, and I'm going to do it by using
Speaker 1: like images of Gandhi and John Lennon like and make
Speaker 1: you feel like you're part of something that's artistic. So
Speaker 1: I do. I do think so they evoke it in
Speaker 1: different ways. I'm saying it's like you're can evoke it
Speaker 1: with those times, but with us coming in from the
Speaker 1: eighties and on, it was such like want this new thing,
Speaker 1: this new thing, this new thing, this new movie, this
Speaker 1: new ip, and now you can be like, hey, bring
Speaker 1: that ring that thing out and bring it back up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think our parents generation were like more about, hey,
Speaker 1: it's the eighties, man, I'm an eighties dude. I listened
Speaker 1: to music on a boom box, and you know, like
Speaker 1: they wanted it's the wave of the future, as opposed
Speaker 1: to like us, we just want to be like I
Speaker 1: don't know, let me crawl back into my Nintendo Entertainment
Speaker 1: system and play you know, stupid video again. Or like
Speaker 1: when Bruce Springsteen did the super Bowl halftime show, you know,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what, Like I remember being like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm into this, like I'm into the like the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But that was clearly for the demographic that was the
Speaker 1: dominant group at the time. I think with millennials moving
Speaker 1: into that makes sense that like everything's kind of like, hey,
Speaker 1: you remember this ship, right, Yeah. So the Big New Yorker,
Speaker 1: which first came out in is bagging restaurant and restaurant
Speaker 1: on February one, mr marketing the difference between the big
Speaker 1: new Yuka and the regular Pizza Hut pizza, which I
Speaker 1: haven't had nor seen anywhere. I don't. Like I Pizza
Speaker 1: Hut pizza like doesn't really exist in like I I
Speaker 1: don't know anybody who orders it. I don't, you know,
Speaker 1: like they there. I know there are people out there,
Speaker 1: but like I don't, I have not seen somebody eat
Speaker 1: a Pizza Hut product and other other than when you
Speaker 1: are at like a mall food court and there is
Speaker 1: like a KFC, Taco Bell pizza hut like conglomerate and
Speaker 1: you can get the personal pan But like I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't see people consume these that often. But anyways,
Speaker 1: they the New Yorker one is thirty percent bigger than
Speaker 1: pizza huts, large with foldable slices and extra cheese. That
Speaker 1: is always the secret. When Dominoes did They're sorry our
Speaker 1: pizza was bad, We're making it good again campaign, people
Speaker 1: compared the pre and post reboot pizza and like the
Speaker 1: redesigned pizza that I agree is way better, just have
Speaker 1: like six more cheese. It was just like they're just
Speaker 1: like people. So our insight is people like cheese. So
Speaker 1: that seems to be the insight here, and people seem
Speaker 1: to be excited and responding. But when when it first
Speaker 1: came out, it was actually like this major political controversy there.
Speaker 1: There was this major political controversy around the ads because
Speaker 1: they did the Hillary Clinton one I mentioned up top,
Speaker 1: where they were like they had a Hillary Clinton person
Speaker 1: being like, I'm gonna run first senator, a New York Senator,
Speaker 1: which that that's what they thought. Hillary Clinton talked like
Speaker 1: I guess, And so it was interesting because it was
Speaker 1: like the person who was running Pizza Hut at the
Speaker 1: time and running like part part of this ad campaign
Speaker 1: had ties to her presumed opponent in that for that
Speaker 1: Senate run, Rudy Giuliani and their their parent company at
Speaker 1: the time, tri Con Foods. How delicious sounding foods We
Speaker 1: are exactly for everyone. That sounds like what the Transformers
Speaker 1: enemies would he is, yeah, but yeah. They they were big,
Speaker 1: big donors campaign. To quote my favorite movie Nickiton, they
Speaker 1: were big donors to Giuliani's Senate Exploratory Committee, and on
Speaker 1: the board of try Com was billionaire Kenneth Langone who
Speaker 1: also donated to Giuliani's campaign and who served as Giuliani's
Speaker 1: campaign finance chair in ninety three when he first won
Speaker 1: the mayor's job, So it feels like it was not
Speaker 1: just a randomly placed joke. Juliani eventually dropped out of
Speaker 1: the Senate race because people didn't really like him, and incidentally,
Speaker 1: the same Big New Yorker pizza was soon after marketed
Speaker 1: by I Donald Trump. Do you remember that at Yes,
Speaker 1: I do, and I thought it was the coolest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. He was just like a funny, iconic
Speaker 1: New Yorker and not the third he is now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like when he was in his like jaabar era, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You just cameo, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, And that was it, like you got
Speaker 1: your Donald Trump cameo and then yeah, he really pulled
Speaker 1: up to the party. So it is possible that the
Speaker 1: election was informed by people's subconscious impressions of the candidates
Speaker 1: that were formed by their distant memories of pizza huts,
Speaker 1: big New Yorker pizza commercials. Let's not just something that
Speaker 1: I haven't heard put forth up to this point, but
Speaker 1: our writer jam once once on the record which I
Speaker 1: think is is an interesting point, interesting thought. So it's
Speaker 1: so it's pizza huts fault. Yeah, I think most things are.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, you have you seen that meme with
Speaker 1: the guy has like one tiny domino, but in front
Speaker 1: of him is a progression of even larger like that
Speaker 1: meme where it's like the first me, first domino is
Speaker 1: big New Yorker pizza, and then January six. Yes, you
Speaker 1: can draw a line from pizza to January six. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: you just did a great documentary. Yeah that pan pizza,
Speaker 1: those so greasy personal pan pizza haven't had in a while.
Speaker 1: But I don't think. I don't know, like I wasn't
Speaker 1: get that every day for lunch. If they were just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll drop that ship off for you, or like
Speaker 1: you could just swing by and we'll like discuss it
Speaker 1: into your car window, you know, like that ship is
Speaker 1: so good and they should reopen which I think I
Speaker 1: heard they were doing, but reopened the you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: the salad bar, pizza pizzeria, pizza huts where you can
Speaker 1: like go sit down, have a giant picture of soda
Speaker 1: and yeah, and steal a vaguely brownish orange translucent plastic
Speaker 1: cup take or the red one or the red ones
Speaker 1: that had Coca Cola written on them. Yeah, man, that
Speaker 1: that would that would hit for me absolutely. I remember
Speaker 1: there's a kid who had his his family shamelessly stole
Speaker 1: the Pizza Hut cups all the time. When you went
Speaker 1: to their house, they had the Pizza Hut cups and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is fucking sick. Your parents fucking cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, you preyed scumback y'all steal everything
Speaker 1: from restaurants And then that kind of kicked off an
Speaker 1: arrow where I was stealing things from restaurants. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the Pizza Hut reopened their pizzeria is like, and just
Speaker 1: had them everywhere. I would be there very frequently and
Speaker 1: I would be able to stop worrying about this damn
Speaker 1: climate apocalypse. You know, have some have some NBA jam

Speaker 1: there's a lot of cute dog content. But then also,
Speaker 1: and I'm embarrassed that I responded to this so much,
Speaker 1: given by who, given who's behind the account, But on
Speaker 1: TikTok there is the a a r P account has
Speaker 1: this series called gen X, a SMR, and all of
Speaker 1: them made speaking of nostalgia. All of them made me laugh.
Speaker 1: It's like a guy I hate I hate a SMR.
Speaker 1: It like makes my skin crawl. But it's a guy,
Speaker 1: and it's like he'll click a Polaroid camera into the mic.
Speaker 1: He'll like pull out an old school floppy disk, He'll
Speaker 1: rewind a VCR tape. He'll do like a slap bracelet,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's very funny. I can't believe I
Speaker 1: am responding to a a r P content that's so depressing,
Speaker 1: but gen X a s MR. Look it up. It's
Speaker 1: really funny. Oh no, wow. The opening of the case
Speaker 1: said opening of a cassette, a rewinding of a like
Speaker 1: VCR cassette tape. For I was even thinking of like
Speaker 1: opening a new cassette tape like sella fane off or
Speaker 1: what's when where's the one where someone struggles with CD rapper?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because remember like the warehouse,
Speaker 1: they would sell those like little weird like blades you
Speaker 1: could just slide on the top of your CD to
Speaker 1: just get through the just get through it all. It
Speaker 1: was impossible to open this and also oftentimes I would
Speaker 1: end up like actually slicing the jewel case by mistake
Speaker 1: when exactly yeah, put a knife straight down the top. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's why I always did. I put a knife through
Speaker 1: the like where the back cover and the front cover
Speaker 1: meet the hinge. There was always that little space to
Speaker 1: the side of the hinge that I knew I would
Speaker 1: suck up the jewel case. I sucked up many jewel cases.
Speaker 1: There was one I got so mad, like I tried
Speaker 1: to swap it out with another one. And this was
Speaker 1: like when they did. Never to talk about this anymore
Speaker 1: because they're gonna start weeping. Yeah. Yeah. It was when
Speaker 1: they started doing the clear back CD cases. They all
Speaker 1: used to be the standard black back CD when they
Speaker 1: were clear I had in I I had to cannibalize
Speaker 1: another CD case. I would have to go through and
Speaker 1: find like a more modern CD case. Anyway, I had
Speaker 1: just real fast. I had a red hot Choy Pepper
Speaker 1: c D and I was like, oh my god, if
Speaker 1: you hold it up to the light when the CD
Speaker 1: is not in the case, there's like this secret star,
Speaker 1: this asterisk looking symbol that shines through. But it was
Speaker 1: just the actual like school the CD sits on. Oh.

Speaker 1: Bad Fruit with Earl Sweatshirt on it, and it's man.
Speaker 1: He makes such genre bending music. It's wild like this
Speaker 1: sounds like part Emo with Earl Switshirt wrapping on it,
Speaker 1: but also like a Cold Play, huge arrangement with like
Speaker 1: a string, like like an orchestra with like a huge quiets.
Speaker 1: The track is very sonically busy, like in dense and
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting listen. So check out Bad Fruit
