Speaker 1: Days of like doing a lesson every day every day, Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least like five minutes. My homegirld said she was
Speaker 1: doing it. She was doing French or something for like
Speaker 1: a year and then she's like, I only got through
Speaker 1: to like two modules or something like that. But she's like,
Speaker 1: but because she I think incrementally did it. She's like,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty solid on everything from those first two. So
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm not shook if I have to do
Speaker 1: a little bit of French. I was like, that's kind
Speaker 1: of good. Yeah, if you'd got really slow, if you don't.
Speaker 1: Once I started actually trying to do it every day
Speaker 1: and maintain a streak, I got a little more flow.

Speaker 1: I have a question for your Spanish and no dinero okay,

Speaker 1: the money on you okay here yeah, no no saying
Speaker 1: okay okay, uh okay, Okay, oh, okay, that's that's that's honorable, honorable. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to say, because Jack, you mentioned the k
Speaker 1: pop thing and I didn't want to interrupt, but that
Speaker 1: is not a Korean parent thing, because Korean parents would
Speaker 1: be like, no, you stop dancing, like go study. So
Speaker 1: it's likely you're actually doing white culture when you put
Speaker 1: your kids in, when you support their career, that is,
Speaker 1: that's not some Asia stuff. They're like, what's that going
Speaker 1: to get you? What's that in? What college? Is that gonna? What? What?
Speaker 1: Harvard has a K pop program? Now? Kuman is Monday afternoon. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: back you back. I haven't even like I found an
Speaker 1: email when I was playing on my emails in college
Speaker 1: when I asked my mom if I could take improp
Speaker 1: but I said, like, I wanted to cause that you
Speaker 1: TB and she was, oh, that's great like Berkeley and
Speaker 1: I was like, no, sure, that's exactly what my fucking
Speaker 1: mom said to I when I left, when I left lobbying,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, I'm getting in the comedy
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, I'm really realizing too, I
Speaker 1: really need to get into like I really need to
Speaker 1: study and get my skills up and I'm gonna actually
Speaker 1: start taking classes at U c B. And she's like
Speaker 1: grad school Berkeley, and I was like, she's like, I
Speaker 1: got wildly like in college, I was doing improblem and
Speaker 1: she was like, all right, at least he's in college.
Speaker 1: And then like the then the economy was vaporized, so
Speaker 1: they she kind of took it easy because like may
Speaker 1: nobody got a job right now. And then when I
Speaker 1: got into lobbying, she was like, yes, yes, go on, honey,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and all that, like you're part of this
Speaker 1: thing now. And when I left, she was like, you
Speaker 1: see Berkeley improv Let's go with that. Yeah, Berkeley, let's
Speaker 1: go with that. Amazing. Well, Theresa, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about today. We are. I'm gonna talk about Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's continued sloppiness with the classified documents. Just not great. Joe,
Speaker 1: would be my summary that that's yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: when's Obama? What are we gonna hear about? Obama also
Speaker 1: hasn't like every it sounds like does everybody is everybody
Speaker 1: sloppy with these top secret papers. I don't, I guess,
Speaker 1: so it seems like it, or at least maybe we
Speaker 1: just shouldn't have people over the age of eighty working
Speaker 1: in the most important job. They're doing papers too. I
Speaker 1: feel like, right, well, that was the thing we learned
Speaker 1: with Hillary Clinton, right that she like she got in
Speaker 1: trouble because she would just make everybody print up every
Speaker 1: email that got sent to her on paper. She's like,
Speaker 1: Homa print print my emails out, all of them. It's
Speaker 1: hard to like keep tracking, Like I have a bag
Speaker 1: of stuff. I need a shred that just because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, things with banks and health and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't throw away, but I don't. It goes for years.
Speaker 1: It's just built up. Yeah, I mean I kind of
Speaker 1: understand how you've got a very busy job, like running
Speaker 1: the country. You might you might move the papers. I
Speaker 1: don't know. So what if I kept a list of
Speaker 1: c I a assets of rod okay, sue me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and mission impossible. Like the burn list is the knock
Speaker 1: list was knocks That's what it is. Yeah, And you
Speaker 1: don't want to burn the assets on the knock list,
Speaker 1: And it's like this super well locked up thing. They're
Speaker 1: like it, actually, you have to go through this underwater
Speaker 1: vault that like electric electric cute to anything that is
Speaker 1: touching it every fifteen seconds. And in reality, it's in
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Yeah, it's just like behind next vet that
Speaker 1: you ever built, built out, like he said he was
Speaker 1: going to. Yeah, and a bunch of Ethernet cables. They're like,
Speaker 1: you here to loose Ethernet cables first generation USBs that
Speaker 1: don't work anymore. Yeah, exactly, I thought that was pasta.
Speaker 1: I could fit a whole five whole whole five megabytes
Speaker 1: on this thing. I'm serious, man, I'm not kidding. I'm serious.
Speaker 1: Good impression. Thanks, really is the thing, he says. They're
Speaker 1: most often, we're gonna check in with effective Altruism and
Speaker 1: continue to find out that it is a racist ship show.
Speaker 1: In In there, we're going to see how the mainstream
Speaker 1: media is covering the storms in California. Presumably you know,
Speaker 1: people are like, wait, why is this happening? Why does
Speaker 1: that keep? Why did this like happen in Germany earlier
Speaker 1: last year and now it's happening in California and all
Speaker 1: these places that were not used to seeing this ship happen,
Speaker 1: and the mainstream media is dutifully shutting the funk up
Speaker 1: about any connection to no idea how this could have happened.
Speaker 1: All the gay people probably story those story times. HBO
Speaker 1: Max prices are going up. We're gonna tell you that.
Speaker 1: And also just talk about that whole model, the introduction
Speaker 1: introductory market rate model that, as Miles explained to me,
Speaker 1: it is called. But this feels like there's just it's
Speaker 1: the new world we live and where they bombard you
Speaker 1: with so much ship that you don't they're just gouging
Speaker 1: us now because they're they're all in the red. They're
Speaker 1: all in the red. Like that's a big part of
Speaker 1: it too, because they the whole part of the streaming
Speaker 1: wars is everybody trying to be a you know, be
Speaker 1: a usurper to the Netflix thrown. But to do that
Speaker 1: requires a tremendous outlay of cash. And that's why people,
Speaker 1: that's why you see all this fucking back and forth,
Speaker 1: breakneck cancelations, green light ship all the time, And didn't
Speaker 1: I like a lot of places like Merge or like
Speaker 1: get rid of their staff. It's like yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 1: like their whole model of like we just burned cash
Speaker 1: and like try and get the most consumers only worked
Speaker 1: because money, like because of the interest rates, Like cash
Speaker 1: was basically free for a long time, especially like massive
Speaker 1: companies like that, and then like when it stopped being
Speaker 1: free in the past couple of years, they're this genius
Speaker 1: strategy just stopped working out so well for them, and
Speaker 1: now they're like, oh no, we have to have a
Speaker 1: triple princess. The laws of physics apply to our business now. Anyways,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more, But first, Theresa, we like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is uh, it's gonna make me sound super old,
Speaker 1: but I searched is contouring still cool? Because I decided
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do I wanted to do the makeup, okay,
Speaker 1: the makeup, the things. So I've been a light ago
Speaker 1: and it's gotten a lot worse than the last couple
Speaker 1: of years. And and I say this like no shame,
Speaker 1: like happy to wear no makeup. But it's like I
Speaker 1: go back and forth between like should I get you
Speaker 1: foundations or one? And then I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe I should learn more about how to do them
Speaker 1: by face because I really just buy one and then
Speaker 1: slather on and that's it. And you know, fortunately in
Speaker 1: the past it's worked out because I had okay skin.
Speaker 1: But now TikTok has all these trends and I'm so
Speaker 1: confused what you're supposed to do. I went to Sephora.
Speaker 1: There's so many products, Like I was just like, I
Speaker 1: just want one that's lighter and one that's darker. And
Speaker 1: they're like, well, there's like highlighter, luminescence gloss away was
Speaker 1: I did buy um. I bought myself my first ever
Speaker 1: concealer and bronzer or contour stick is what they call it.
Speaker 1: I honestly I felt like a teenage girl buying her
Speaker 1: first bra or you know, like dollars at Charlotte Rous,
Speaker 1: just like, I can't wait to try this odd Yeah,
Speaker 1: the drive home, you're just looking at it out of
Speaker 1: the bag. I was gonna put it on that I
Speaker 1: was like, maybe I should just play around with it,
Speaker 1: but then it was like TMPM, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that's done. I don't want to do that. Wait. So
Speaker 1: I mean, is is contouring just something else now or
Speaker 1: is that just not a thing anymore? And they can
Speaker 1: make makeup world like that's something like is that just
Speaker 1: seen as like prehistoric ship makeup techniques? Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like it's still done, but it's not like trendy.
Speaker 1: Like now there's all these new trends like TikTok. They
Speaker 1: do stuff like what do they call there's the w
Speaker 1: blush where it's like you draw a W on your
Speaker 1: face and then you like blend it and it looks
Speaker 1: like you're you went on the slopes and you burn
Speaker 1: your face and that's the trend. Oh yeah, let's see
Speaker 1: people like that all the time. I'm like, yo, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: you are you looking straight into a laser all day
Speaker 1: or some ship? No, it's the trend, so like still there,
Speaker 1: but it's not. I'm sorry, it's not the thing. I
Speaker 1: see people that are concerning me. Oh shorty, gotta eye irritation,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: and then I see multipople like, oh, that's just the
Speaker 1: wave right now. That's there's a button nose too. There's
Speaker 1: one where you're supposed to make it look like your
Speaker 1: nose just like popping out. I think like a button
Speaker 1: nose literally like like a little white dot and you
Speaker 1: look like good dogs it's not I don't like it,
Speaker 1: but I guess it's cute. I mean, you do you
Speaker 1: gen z or whatever? The next whatever the next generation
Speaker 1: is called conturing, like making it seem like you're you
Speaker 1: have lines in different places on your fit. Like it's
Speaker 1: like I'm going to an illusion of definition, like you know,
Speaker 1: like on your cheek, you know, get your cheek bones
Speaker 1: look pop in and ship like that. It is very
Speaker 1: cool to watch someone do it into like a video,
Speaker 1: because it draw these lines and it looks like insane,
Speaker 1: and then they blend it and you're like, WHOA, where
Speaker 1: to go? But it sometimes looks like the same as before,
Speaker 1: and so you're like, I mean it looks slightly better,
Speaker 1: but the whole thing is it looks like you're not
Speaker 1: wearing makeup. So I never wanted to touch it because
Speaker 1: it looked like too much to learn and out I
Speaker 1: am of the age where I have to start covering
Speaker 1: things up anyway, So I was like, why didn't I
Speaker 1: learn to steel? Yeah, that's how I learned that contour
Speaker 1: of my apps. Yeah, yeah, she's really good with the
Speaker 1: air with the airbrush. Summer Brad Pitt abs from Fight
Speaker 1: Club were painted on those exist. Yeah, those were a
Speaker 1: contort and like how many motherfuckers felt for that one? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I'm trying to look dude like fucking Tyler
Speaker 1: Dirting bro like I'm come on that ship, dude, like
Speaker 1: needing me that Just give me a flashback to like
Speaker 1: when it was I was in middle school summer can
Speaker 1: cap drawing fake cludyvage line because you know, when you're
Speaker 1: like a kid, you think got him yea, So it's
Speaker 1: like you think the line like before you understand that
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like the line because it's connected
Speaker 1: to boobies, like people love a line. Yeah, liked little line,
Speaker 1: but just just like, did you have open heart surgery? Did? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I actually did have open heart surgery though even weirder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, anyways, I thought you were saying that because
Speaker 1: you knew, and then I realized that No, no, I
Speaker 1: just that someone would just say like, oh, you put
Speaker 1: that line on your chest. I'm not familiar with what's
Speaker 1: going on there. No, no, no, the surgery scar is
Speaker 1: like white, it's like lighter, but you got draw a dark,
Speaker 1: crisp line. Yeah. I wonder has has a conlok movie
Speaker 1: villain ever been like the contour somebody who completely changes
Speaker 1: their appearance based on their makeup skills. That that feels
Speaker 1: like it would end up trending into some homophobic ship
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Make up guy who can
Speaker 1: be anyone feels like some Bench Shapiro movie that's about
Speaker 1: to come out. They're like shape shifting. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: interesting because it is the idea of changing your look on.
Speaker 1: But if I agree, it would get a little okay,
Speaker 1: how about a superhero? Yeah, yeah, you could just delight
Speaker 1: people with new looks. You know. It's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be dope too, because you'd be in a
Speaker 1: bind and they're like ship man, they got his corner, Like,
Speaker 1: get your makeup bag out, y'all, now look like a
Speaker 1: bunch of different people coming out the building. They're like
Speaker 1: the robbers are in there. Isn't what men an impossible?
Speaker 1: This whole thing though, that they just do the like lazy,
Speaker 1: They just put on a fucking hood that was just
Speaker 1: like and that change your box, Yeah that ship come on? Now?
Speaker 1: Haven't have they been doing masks in the past? Couple
Speaker 1: of ones I've seen them, but they The only thing
Speaker 1: I remember is the sustained feeling that Tom Cruise was
Speaker 1: trying to kill himself in front of me like creative voice.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I remember like one of the
Speaker 1: last ones I saw because I had a few had
Speaker 1: passed and I saw. I'm like, oh, they're still on
Speaker 1: that rip your face off ship. Yeah yeah, I know
Speaker 1: they did it and goes protocol, but but it actually
Speaker 1: like the technology fucked up and figure. But it's funny
Speaker 1: how like you don't think that, Like it's clearly when
Speaker 1: they do it, like they'll just have the actual actor
Speaker 1: that they're portraying to be that person, but there's something
Speaker 1: like their build changes when they take the mask off.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh you're what did you in your shoulders
Speaker 1: said they have the actors like yeah, they're not really
Speaker 1: doing the mask that he's stop stop stop stop with
Speaker 1: this man. Somebody come get him? Are you talking about
Speaker 1: I'll come get acting like he doesn't understand what is
Speaker 1: something things over it. He's acting like boomer somebody. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this You guys have seen these
Speaker 1: ads on your Instagram but overrated using trauma for cloud
Speaker 1: like I guess so much. Instagram and TikTok etc. Are
Speaker 1: like beyond like for it was like get therapy online,
Speaker 1: it's like okay, okay, And now I literally had an
Speaker 1: ad that was it looked like a like a TikTok
Speaker 1: that had a comment on it, so you know when
Speaker 1: people share a comment, but the comments said only people
Speaker 1: with trauma responses can solve it. And it was like
Speaker 1: some thing where you have to like solve but like what,
Speaker 1: like I don't understand the the like did a robot
Speaker 1: right this? Because I could see if a robot road
Speaker 1: because they are just going like people click on trauma
Speaker 1: because they want to fix it, and then they're like
Speaker 1: they're engaging, please push the trauma. But it's so strange
Speaker 1: and I get a lot of these. That's the weirdest one.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot like do you may have a
Speaker 1: d h D or like use this notebook and it's
Speaker 1: all like kind of exclamation point stars like this is
Speaker 1: trauma trauma response. You could be in the trauma club?
Speaker 1: Are you a trauma survivor? And you're like what like
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, it's like why are you trying to
Speaker 1: make it cool? Like it's so I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: really weird. It gives me weird vibes. There's a I
Speaker 1: mean the amount of like diet self diagnosing that you
Speaker 1: can do on TikTok is absurd. Like if you're young
Speaker 1: and impressionable and you get in that wormhole, like you
Speaker 1: would be convinced. I can't believe they're actually using that
Speaker 1: as marketing though, you know what I mean. Like I
Speaker 1: get that the content was really popular and people were
Speaker 1: trying to like learn more about themselves, and I get
Speaker 1: the appeal of something like that, but it, yeah, it
Speaker 1: is like with so many things on there, it's you're
Speaker 1: starting to see like the more insidious nature of it,
Speaker 1: especially when it's likely just using it to market. You're
Speaker 1: just like, wow, Wow, that's marketing though, well, because I'm
Speaker 1: like the whole idea of connecting people to understand each
Speaker 1: other's great, But you can tell there's money behind the
Speaker 1: influencers and the brands now because of these kinds of ads,
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, there's what's like the clearly the
Speaker 1: goal of this is just to sell something, Like it's
Speaker 1: not help you. You may have trauma. Try to solve
Speaker 1: this puzzle, and it's like you may have trauma. You'll
Speaker 1: love this mobile game where you're a band of three
Speaker 1: bikers fighting seven thousand zombies like only trauma survivors solve.
Speaker 1: It is so wild. Yeah, I remember when I was
Speaker 1: when I was really young, Like one of the first
Speaker 1: kind of fantasies I remember having was like finding out
Speaker 1: that I had like some condition that made my life
Speaker 1: harder than everyone else and like that that is I
Speaker 1: would like find out and people would be like whoa,
Speaker 1: like he's in constant pain or like you know, like
Speaker 1: something something like his pain hurts twice as bad as
Speaker 1: everyone else's. And I always thought that was so weird,
Speaker 1: And now it feels like it's like what everyone is
Speaker 1: going through is that we're all just like I want
Speaker 1: to learn that, like my baseline is like harder deal
Speaker 1: with than everyone else's. We all want the magic, like
Speaker 1: oh this helps and saves everything, but I mean just
Speaker 1: some degree like there are you know, like getting helped
Speaker 1: can sometimes Like remember when I first got on that,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, I felt like I was like
Speaker 1: swimming underwater. Now the atmosphere is different, but but like
Speaker 1: what you're saying, yeah, I mean that that's like some
Speaker 1: young people that could be a sign, but it's definitely
Speaker 1: not something you should be Like, I can't wait to
Speaker 1: sign out my super trauma, Like it's like become a
Speaker 1: superpower now. I don't know. Yeah, maybe there's some care
Speaker 1: would be like your life's easy, you're white Jack, You're
Speaker 1: like no, please go ahead tell me. I feel paining
Speaker 1: place as bad as people. This whole thing is my fantasy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm not a personal color, but I feel pain
Speaker 1: three times like, okay, cool, equal, he's cool, he's cool.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Theresa? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go real basic organizing bins. I'm moved to my boyfriend
Speaker 1: recently and intellect where are Oh, thank you? But I've
Speaker 1: been like it's great, but you know, and this is
Speaker 1: probably something guys who have been through this will relate to.
Speaker 1: I think, because I think that it's more common than
Speaker 1: I realized. I moved things around constantly because we weren't
Speaker 1: moving together, so I'm like shuffling things around. I started
Speaker 1: getting bins to put things that are out like flast pens.
Speaker 1: Now everything's in bins, but it's still like around because
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to So now like his friends will
Speaker 1: come up and be like, ah, I see there's more
Speaker 1: bins around, like just like all the loose items that
Speaker 1: were out and about are now in bins. But I
Speaker 1: love it and I think that it doesn't distract from
Speaker 1: his flow to like do you mind showing me, like
Speaker 1: give me example of something like yeah, and then there's uh,
Speaker 1: well I wish I can't grab it now. But these
Speaker 1: bright room clear ones, if you target sells them, they're great.
Speaker 1: You can stack them like by our it's not filling
Speaker 1: up like rubber made storage containers. Very they're in the
Speaker 1: bathroom then kitchen. It's like that what is that ludicrous
Speaker 1: song like in the car the b oh yeah in
Speaker 1: the back seat had the movie Yeah I know that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I got I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't recommend any more of these clear bands because if
Speaker 1: they stack, you could put like coffee pods, tea, chocolate,
Speaker 1: every like yeah, that's true, and I've never it's funny,
Speaker 1: so you've probably seen this. I feel like Asian people
Speaker 1: will use like tupperware to container storage things like I
Speaker 1: grew up at all. Yeah, I remember my mom like
Speaker 1: like i'd be like six grades your rooms a message
Speaker 1: like I organized it, just put all my pens like
Speaker 1: in a and other ship like that, like you go
Speaker 1: to you go to like an Auntie's house and there's
Speaker 1: like those Danish cookies. Then yeah, it's just like yeah
Speaker 1: that for But yeah, I think it's just it is
Speaker 1: funny because I think of that too. I have it's
Speaker 1: just not in my brain to think of buying organizational
Speaker 1: bins or holders or things like that. So I think
Speaker 1: as just how I'm kind of like a messy person.
Speaker 1: People who have been to the I heart office back
Speaker 1: when it was running, My desk looks like some kind
Speaker 1: of sucking hoarders, like nightmare. But I'm gonna organize your
Speaker 1: office for I literally loved it. Like it's like, I
Speaker 1: think a new addiction because it's it's fun to organize.
Speaker 1: Percentage when you're organizing. What percentage of the stuff are
Speaker 1: you throwing away? My high is my high? How high
Speaker 1: are you? And what percentage? Well, so like I'm trying
Speaker 1: not to throw away too much because that's the part
Speaker 1: I think will become annoying. Like literally, I'm like my boyfriend,
Speaker 1: like it's fine, do whatever. So I just try to
Speaker 1: be organized. But I already moved and so a lot
Speaker 1: of my stuff is gone, so it really is just rearranging.
Speaker 1: And I think that part I love it because sometimes
Speaker 1: until you move, you don't realize that that's what the
Speaker 1: flow is gonna be. So I've had to shuffle where
Speaker 1: the keys go like maybe four times and that is
Speaker 1: probably annoying. But you know, my bofriends saying and he
Speaker 1: his acts like he didn't mind. I hope he still
Speaker 1: loves me. But are you saying that they've also improved
Speaker 1: the container get like it's no longer like the containers
Speaker 1: that you can get are are better than they used
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, I think so. I think they realized
Speaker 1: we were using tupper wear and repurposing like like you
Speaker 1: know boxes and ship like I used to put my
Speaker 1: magazine in our old Amazon bucks like cut in half,
Speaker 1: and now it's like you can you know, you don't
Speaker 1: have to spend a lot, you can just couple of
Speaker 1: bucks and get these like nice plastic bands that stacking
Speaker 1: or my mom should put a wrapping paper like nice
Speaker 1: wrapping paper on other boxes to turn them up. Yea,
Speaker 1: my mom has this closet up old boxes like literally,
Speaker 1: I'm like, we don't need this. It's like stores that
Speaker 1: are out of business, like we don't need this make
Speaker 1: company box anymore. So I feel like the one time
Speaker 1: we made a real run at getting organized. My wife
Speaker 1: and are both very disorganized people. And yeah, yeah, oh
Speaker 1: I thought your wife was like the opposite attracting, Like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we are like identical attracted in that respect. Looks at
Speaker 1: me and it's disgusted sometimes. Now that's why it's it's
Speaker 1: truly like we we were like should we really get married?
Speaker 1: This is this is gonna be a problem. Like we
Speaker 1: really love each other, but this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: problem because we are identical, like identically a D D
Speaker 1: messy people and we've made it work so far, but
Speaker 1: we've like made multiple runs of getting organized, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it like that the last time we did it like
Speaker 1: via a container store approach, the stuff just kind of
Speaker 1: looked like ship and ended up kind of all over
Speaker 1: the place. We just had a messy house with containers.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you gotta go not to him because I
Speaker 1: used to be like too ambitious and be like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do the whole room, and then you start doing
Speaker 1: it and then nothing matches, but the little thing you
Speaker 1: start small, like you you organized the desk, and then
Speaker 1: you you get like you know, and now I have
Speaker 1: confidence I could do the kitchen. I could do the
Speaker 1: bathroom and then pretty soon it's like the insides are good,
Speaker 1: so you can then the outsides follow. Yeah, oh man,
Speaker 1: such as life. So let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back. And so, speaking of
Speaker 1: messy ass people, Joe Biden apparently had some secret files
Speaker 1: lying around in his fucking garage. Goddamn garage. Not great, Joe,
Speaker 1: not great, not great. Not help him? Did the what? So? What?
Speaker 1: How many? How many? How many secret files did this
Speaker 1: old man have to fucking know? At this point? Man,
Speaker 1: I know, I know that that is in this story.
Speaker 1: That fact, I just don't well, there was like one
Speaker 1: document in like they're like all over the place in
Speaker 1: this place, in this place, and like I think there's
Speaker 1: only one in the garage. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you're like, it's a fucking bad look if
Speaker 1: you're trying to bang the drum and be like, man,
Speaker 1: how dare you have these top secret documents and they're like, oh, hello, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: you got them scattered around your ship too. Is this
Speaker 1: being done by like some rogue trumpet pointee? Or this
Speaker 1: is just them being so self serious about their ass coverage.
Speaker 1: The U S attorney who got Merrick Garland, who basically
Speaker 1: recommended to Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to
Speaker 1: look into Biden's document problem is a trumpet pointe. So
Speaker 1: there's that, But i'd imagine too, if you're actually on
Speaker 1: some level, this is just what happens, right, Like, if
Speaker 1: you're going to try and get Trump on this ship,
Speaker 1: get the very least want to say, well, we did
Speaker 1: an exhaustive investigation into Biden, and we did. There's a
Speaker 1: you know, declination to prosecute. But he also did like
Speaker 1: as dumb as it was, they like immediately operated, right.
Speaker 1: I mean there's like like something like no, I don't
Speaker 1: don't come in. Oh you came in. It's planted like
Speaker 1: it's it's it's Grandpa was microwaving his shoes. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: really Joe. When he was pressed as to why these
Speaker 1: documents were stored beside his corvette, he claimed it was
Speaker 1: a quote locked garage. It's not like they're sitting out
Speaker 1: on the street. Okay, Grandpa, I'm serious, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: oh man, and then said he was going to I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to speak on all this, god
Speaker 1: willing soon. It's just like so very enthusiastic, well, like
Speaker 1: not having any idea where he is, like it's very
Speaker 1: serious about what he's saying and has no clue where
Speaker 1: he is. It basically wonder though it does it does.
Speaker 1: This is the thing that I feel like maybe there's
Speaker 1: the Republican agenda is just so doubt in general, because
Speaker 1: whether or not fighting cooperates, it doesn't matter. Now we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: if this could happen, what else is out there? And
Speaker 1: then you start questioning the government, which we already are,
Speaker 1: like after watching the whole mccarthurny thing, it's like, you
Speaker 1: guys don't know how to do things, just supposed to
Speaker 1: know how to do things, and so now it's really
Speaker 1: easy for them to just plant like like this whole
Speaker 1: thing is falling apart, and you know, like you don't
Speaker 1: know documents can get out, what else can get out
Speaker 1: your address? You personally are gonna be docs by Russia
Speaker 1: or whatever. They're just gonna like break everyone out. There's
Speaker 1: it's just funny too, because like they're they're CNN went
Speaker 1: all in on Monday when this story first broke. Okay,
Speaker 1: so MSNBC did about fourteen minutes of coverage. You get
Speaker 1: that because they're the lips animal and they don't want
Speaker 1: to really be like Joe Byron Senile and then Fox
Speaker 1: News twenty nine minutes of coverage, they may be twenty
Speaker 1: nine minutes of coverage, and CNN an hour and forty
Speaker 1: seven minutes of coverage to the story and feature length
Speaker 1: film coverage of coverage, and you're like, wow, look who
Speaker 1: the new right wing darling is on the cable news block.
Speaker 1: Like it's so funny, Like we need to really balance
Speaker 1: this out. It's like, bro, you're going harder on this
Speaker 1: than Fox News, Okay, I it is a very CNN
Speaker 1: s thing to do. Like they've been so focused on
Speaker 1: being like we got to cover both sides and like
Speaker 1: anytime the Democrats funk up, we gotta go extra heart.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the whole media. It's like the way
Speaker 1: that the game is rigged is you know, the quote
Speaker 1: unquote center left media is actually like the most focused
Speaker 1: on being like fair and balanced, you know, complete pores
Speaker 1: and then fair and bounce everything that's not the left well,
Speaker 1: because it makes it really easy for the cuckoo's to
Speaker 1: really pull the other side further. Because if you're all
Speaker 1: about the center, all they have to do is like
Speaker 1: become a real outlier. And you're like, I guess I
Speaker 1: gotta move too, But it's like no, no, you can
Speaker 1: ignore the outliers, Like the cuckoos are saying this to
Speaker 1: move the needle, not too because they can't believe keep
Speaker 1: falling for it. They're like, no, we can also be
Speaker 1: fucking vile also bleed for clicks. Let's check back in
Speaker 1: with a what is it? It's e A because it
Speaker 1: is effective altruism. Yes, yes, is this the Sam Bakman
Speaker 1: free thing? Yeah, I mean for the forefront. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was their their biggest donor. But it's like this philosophical
Speaker 1: school that is secretly a fucking hedge fund basically, and
Speaker 1: they're all about donating money to the most effective means
Speaker 1: for making the world the most people the happiest. And
Speaker 1: it started with this philosopher who was like, you should
Speaker 1: focus on fine, do as much money as we can
Speaker 1: to donate two countries that like need bed nets to
Speaker 1: stop the spread of malaria and ship like that. And
Speaker 1: then he because he was like, and therefore, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start hanging out with VCP like venture capital people. Suddenly,
Speaker 1: after like a decade of hanging out with venture capital people.
Speaker 1: It becomes this thing of like, actually, we shouldn't send
Speaker 1: that much money to foreign countries. Instead, we should be
Speaker 1: focusing on like artificial intelligence and all these things that
Speaker 1: can like make people money and the just just complete
Speaker 1: bullshit and planetary exploration. Man, yeah, exactly. And when when
Speaker 1: you do a deep dive into what the philosophy has become,
Speaker 1: it is it has like eugenics in it, Like it
Speaker 1: has there's a value system too. Here's a yeah where
Speaker 1: the people in poor countries, they are like, yeah, but see,
Speaker 1: their output is not that great. It doesn't create that
Speaker 1: much good for humanity in the long run, and therefore
Speaker 1: we don't have to focus on helping the people in
Speaker 1: the poor countries because they're essentially their lives aren't worth
Speaker 1: as much, right, Hey, Yeah, pull up the KPI s
Speaker 1: on Mr Real quick. Like chreates the otherness I feel like,
Speaker 1: because it's like, I mean, Hollywood does the kind of
Speaker 1: stuff a lot, but a lot more like transparent, but
Speaker 1: just the whole like we want to help as long
Speaker 1: as we're it's clear that we're helping someone much more
Speaker 1: unfortunate than ourselves. There's never really this acknowledgment that's like,
Speaker 1: we're all people that could one day need help or
Speaker 1: maybe today need help. Like you could need help and
Speaker 1: still be helping someone. Those two things could happen at
Speaker 1: the same time. You know, like yeah, and I have
Speaker 1: the most money and I'm smart, so let me let
Speaker 1: me tell you how to fix this. Guy Nick Bostrom,
Speaker 1: that's this is the philosopher who is like, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of at the forefront of this. And he also
Speaker 1: he's not, but he's the one that, like with Sam Bankman,
Speaker 1: Freed had a lot of influence over this like movement.
Speaker 1: And he's also the guy who really made the idea
Speaker 1: that like this is a simulation man. That's his big thing.
Speaker 1: But earlier this week he said he wanted to get
Speaker 1: ahead of a potential smear campaign because he caught wind
Speaker 1: of somebody looking into an old email list serve that
Speaker 1: like for sci fi fans he was like involved in
Speaker 1: in the nineties and he I forgot to delete. He's like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, let me just tell you I was racist
Speaker 1: before this Guardian piece does. So what he said is,
Speaker 1: you know, he talks about this thing is like this
Speaker 1: list serve in the mid nineties quote where people had
Speaker 1: conversations about science fic, science fiction, future, technology, society, and
Speaker 1: all sorts of random things. I was. It was not moderated,
Speaker 1: so the noise level was very high occasional interesting ideas,
Speaker 1: but also large quantities of silly, mistaken or out white
Speaker 1: offense or outright I said, Fredian sleeve slip. So this
Speaker 1: is one of the This is like an excerpt from
Speaker 1: one of these emails that he posted that he's saying, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be a from with y'ad. This is
Speaker 1: some ship that I said. Quote. I have always liked
Speaker 1: the uncompromisingly objective way of thinking and speaking. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: shut up already. Um, the more counterintuitive and repugnant of formulation,
Speaker 1: the more it appeals to me, given that is logically correct. Take,
Speaker 1: for example, the following sentence blacks are more stupid than whites.
Speaker 1: I like that sentence, and I think it is true.
Speaker 1: But recently I've begun to believe that I won't have
Speaker 1: much success with most people if I speak like that.
Speaker 1: They would think that I were a racist, that I
Speaker 1: disliked black people and thought it is fair if blacks
Speaker 1: are treated badly. I don't. It's just that based on
Speaker 1: what I have read. I think it is probable that
Speaker 1: black people have a lower average i Q than mankind
Speaker 1: in general. I may be wrong about the facts, but
Speaker 1: it is what the sentence means for me. For most people, however,
Speaker 1: the sentence seems to be synonymous with I hate those
Speaker 1: bloody and words. And he didn't redact that in his
Speaker 1: fucking thing. He's just well, he just said, look the
Speaker 1: hard are bombs coming out? Yeah, And he goes with
Speaker 1: this like weird, fucking defensive like this. You know, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: my words offending, just like the early months, my facts
Speaker 1: offend you. Ship, But he says quote. My point is
Speaker 1: that while speaking with the provocativeness of unabashed objectivity would
Speaker 1: be appreciated by me and many other persons on this list,
Speaker 1: it may be a less effective strategy and communicating with
Speaker 1: some people, some of the people quote out there. I
Speaker 1: think it's laudable if you accustomed people to the offensiveness
Speaker 1: of truth, but be prepared that you may suffer some
Speaker 1: personal damage. Oh my god, he's talking like you know,
Speaker 1: when someone's trying to write an essay and bullshitting about
Speaker 1: a topic they have no idea about, but they need
Speaker 1: the word count like this essay would get poor marks,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, hey look man, fact you don't care about
Speaker 1: your feelings? Yeah wait, was that was that last paragraph?
Speaker 1: My point is that while speaking with the was that
Speaker 1: that was part of his original post. Yeah, okay, So
Speaker 1: he's kind of doing that thing where he's like, no,
Speaker 1: if you don't agree with Like he's like, if you
Speaker 1: don't agree with me, and I know you probably don't,
Speaker 1: you're just on the other side of dumb, and so
Speaker 1: like you really can't. There's not even a really he's like,
Speaker 1: you got to see, this is the thing. The fucking
Speaker 1: world doesn't want to accept that black people are just dumb. Right,
Speaker 1: But he's not even living room for discord. I mean,
Speaker 1: like not that that should be, but like it's like
Speaker 1: a manipulation tactic because he's kind of be like, here's something,
Speaker 1: but if you don't believe it, which I know you
Speaker 1: probably don't, you're also dumb and you're like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's for all these
Speaker 1: people to like circle jerk and be like where the
Speaker 1: fucking smartest dudes? And I'm sorry that we're seeing through
Speaker 1: the fucking matrix like that. But he goes on to
Speaker 1: say this is this is his follow up. So after
Speaker 1: that expert he says, quote, I completely repudiate this disgusting
Speaker 1: email from twenty years ago. It does not accurately represent
Speaker 1: my views then or now. This is the funny part.
Speaker 1: The invocation of a racial slur was repulsive. I immediately apologize.
Speaker 1: That's how he said. Yeah, invocation of a church motherfucker's invocation?
Speaker 1: The is this? So I think again? He then he
Speaker 1: does the other thing of the I'm not a racist
Speaker 1: white guy by then track, like going down about look
Speaker 1: at all this money I've given to the bloody pores
Speaker 1: and negroes out there. And then at the end of
Speaker 1: the day he doesn't really apologize for his use of
Speaker 1: the N word or even this stupid ass way of thinking.
Speaker 1: He's not even He just he just goes about, low,
Speaker 1: I saw it invoked a racial slur. Yeah, so talk
Speaker 1: about the bullshit thing that you were saying and explain
Speaker 1: why it's incorrect. If this is part of your fucking
Speaker 1: like apology. And also that exact thing is a big
Speaker 1: part of effective altruism. Like the profiles that you read
Speaker 1: about it, they spend a lot of time being like,
Speaker 1: how do we communicate our god level genius ideas to
Speaker 1: outside people without offending them. So this is like already
Speaker 1: what he's talking about when he's talking about effective altruism,
Speaker 1: Like effective altruism is just like at its core, you know,
Speaker 1: just right, it's it's like we know how to help you,
Speaker 1: just let us, and it's like help yourself, dude. This
Speaker 1: is what he says the two or later on, he's
Speaker 1: like when he tries to kind of dance around the
Speaker 1: fact that he's saying this racist nonsense, he's there like
Speaker 1: he goes, what about eugenics? Do I support eugenics? No,
Speaker 1: not as the term is commonly. Yeah. See, but anyway,
Speaker 1: this is again, these are like the minds that are
Speaker 1: at the forefront of like trying to shape what they
Speaker 1: think fucking the next iteration of our world in society
Speaker 1: can be, which is basically facts and figures. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you live in this. If you live in the
Speaker 1: Global South, I hope your outputs good. Otherwise you're a
Speaker 1: non participant in life. Yeah, jeez. I think we should
Speaker 1: stop like letting rich people show receipts to show how
Speaker 1: quote unquote good they are. Like, I think the news
Speaker 1: standard should be how many poor people have given you money,
Speaker 1: because then it's like you're probably cool with poor people,
Speaker 1: like you know, because if you're just I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're rich and you're just like making money in a
Speaker 1: bad way and you're giving people money, it's like that
Speaker 1: tells me nothing, That tells me that you have a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and then you feel guilty. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying don't donate, Like, hey, anyone listened to this. If
Speaker 1: you want to guiltily donate, keep doing it. But just
Speaker 1: think about how much you're also willing to how often
Speaker 1: you're willing to accept help, and now just don't donate
Speaker 1: through ethical whatever that is. I think we need to
Speaker 1: all give and receive in life in the way that
Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm not saying I hate this sixty
Speaker 1: nine position, but I'm just saying, like, think about life
Speaker 1: like sixty nine. You know, like if you're only ever giving,
Speaker 1: you're not really giving. You're like you're making up for
Speaker 1: some ship. Right. You gotta feel like you can ask
Speaker 1: for help because you fellow humans. Thank you. I love this,
Speaker 1: Ted talk to It's beautiful. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back and
Speaker 1: real quickly we got to talk about the storms in
Speaker 1: California that have been happening for the last two weeks
Speaker 1: are probably going to continue in the next at least
Speaker 1: the next couple of days or over the weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got there's like two more storms coming. Yeah, nineteen
Speaker 1: people have died already. It's bad. Million dollars with the damage.
Speaker 1: Is the atmospheric river, Yeah, atmospheric that turned into a
Speaker 1: cyclone bomb is what we have, which is basically just saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: here's we're just gonna empty a bunch of water on
Speaker 1: this part of the earth days at a time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's like they they told us this was coming
Speaker 1: or like about within the last twelve months. They were like, California,
Speaker 1: because of climate change, is going to start seeing these
Speaker 1: once every millennial millennium storms happening on a regular basis,
Speaker 1: They're going to be flooded, like constantly, repeatedly, and it's
Speaker 1: because the climate change. So you would think that as
Speaker 1: once the disaster arrives, that's how it would be covered. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean most people saw the footage and we're like
Speaker 1: that looks not good at all, which would then probably
Speaker 1: lead a person to say why this happened? And then
Speaker 1: that's usually when the news would inform you of what
Speaker 1: is happening in the world around you. But sadly, during
Speaker 1: the first few days of the storm in California, there
Speaker 1: is barely any mention of climate change. Media Matters did
Speaker 1: an analysis of the news coverage on TV and found
Speaker 1: quote found that, with one exception, cable news network CNN, FOX, MSNBC,
Speaker 1: and national broadcast Networks ABC, CBS, NBC failed to link
Speaker 1: these events to our warming climate cable, they said, CNN, Fox,
Speaker 1: MSNBC air to total of thirty three combined segment on
Speaker 1: the California rain. CNN covered the storms the most with
Speaker 1: twenty four segments, followed by Fox. Blah blah blah. CNN
Speaker 1: was the only one to mention climate change, but that
Speaker 1: was only because they were interviewing San Francisco Mayor London
Speaker 1: Breed who brought up the term climate change. It wasn't
Speaker 1: them saying and they were talking to somebody in California like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we'll climate change and are and like these kinds of things.
Speaker 1: This this is sort of the world we're having to
Speaker 1: prepare for unless we do something urgently, Are you saying, Uh?
Speaker 1: The news on TV an industry much sponsored by advertisers
Speaker 1: that adjectlimate change. Maybe maybe no, no subtlety to this one.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's just really it's just the wild thing. Though,
Speaker 1: is this like this weird habit of the media, you know,
Speaker 1: funders aside is that they treat climate change like a
Speaker 1: seasonal thing, like Christmas time was climate change time, Like
Speaker 1: this ship has been happening all over the world all
Speaker 1: the time, Like yeah, it's still going on. Pick any
Speaker 1: given season like Earth season, and I'm telling you there's
Speaker 1: some wild shit happening somewhere somewhere where the heat is
Speaker 1: like you've never seen the in in Europe, they were
Speaker 1: like all the people like our ski seasons fucked because
Speaker 1: it's so fucking hot over here, Like what do you
Speaker 1: think the funk that is? And that's what I think
Speaker 1: is really alarming too, is because most people are like
Speaker 1: you know, aren't critically ingesting the news that we're just
Speaker 1: defaulting to this thing. It's like, damn bad storms again,
Speaker 1: huh not, Damn the clock is fucking ticking on this
Speaker 1: place and we have to get shipped done. And I
Speaker 1: get it because obviously that's you know, it's about maintaining
Speaker 1: the status quo on that. But yeah, fucking disheartening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's talk about it. So HBO Max prices are
Speaker 1: going up, as are a bunch of the streaming prices.
Speaker 1: HBO Max is gonna cost an extra dollar or so.
Speaker 1: It's going from months as an egg cost right now,
Speaker 1: wholeful's so fucking egg anyone. That's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1: But this whole model like that, this isn't new. This
Speaker 1: isn't new in streaming. It's not new elsewhere like that,
Speaker 1: Like where Cellular plans TV and any subscription model Cellular
Speaker 1: I like that, we don't call it cellular. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: to get on that cellular telephone, get on that cell phone.
Speaker 1: But they get you in the door, and then once
Speaker 1: you're there, that's an auto renewing and no longer paying attention.
Speaker 1: They just like ramp up the price to some ungodly number.
Speaker 1: And then you turn around eighteen months and you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: why am I poor? Oh because my ESPN Plus account
Speaker 1: like went up to a hundred dollars on you know,
Speaker 1: like whatever the funk it is? The I I feel
Speaker 1: like it's all part of this. They've built this world
Speaker 1: of just information pollution where like we're just so snow
Speaker 1: it under by so much different ship and they're just
Speaker 1: they're counting on that in some ways where there's just
Speaker 1: like everybody's fucking helpless to keep track of all of
Speaker 1: the things they need to keep track of, and so
Speaker 1: you just get buried in all this noise. Like our
Speaker 1: email inboxes are like dominated. Christiem Gucci Man put it
Speaker 1: on Twitter a few weeks ago. He was like, my
Speaker 1: email inboxes places that I bought a shirt from seven
Speaker 1: years ago. Just you know, like they they've just completely
Speaker 1: and like that that's how the weight is with like news.
Speaker 1: There's like so much news coming in, like only some
Speaker 1: of it we have to give a shit about, but
Speaker 1: they've like gamified all of it. So now you're like
Speaker 1: on the winning team or the losing team and just
Speaker 1: like bombarded to the point of exhaustion. So at any
Speaker 1: given moment, it's just like I don't know, like what
Speaker 1: am I going to do? That is interesting because yeah,
Speaker 1: like until you said that, I hadn't really like thought
Speaker 1: about how streaming it used to be, Like you know,
Speaker 1: HBO is more like like narrative, like cinematic, but now
Speaker 1: everything has a mix of sports news like real time coverage, documentaries,
Speaker 1: funny comedies like whatever. It's all like everything's everywhere, and
Speaker 1: so can't just all I want? Yeah, but you can't,
Speaker 1: like you can just be like, oh, like you know,
Speaker 1: let me just consume like you know, nonfiction, because it's
Speaker 1: like where do you go for that? Even like the
Speaker 1: old school, not like na Geo Discovery all that is
Speaker 1: doing that. All those places are doing um fun reality
Speaker 1: and whatever. Now it's like they've abandoned the learning channel
Speaker 1: is now about watching toxic, abusive relationships. And you're like, huh,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean this is just kind of like
Speaker 1: someone recently put a graphic up of like if you
Speaker 1: add up all the streaming ship, they're like, you paying
Speaker 1: more than cable. Yeah, at this we've crossed, we've we've
Speaker 1: we've reached that point where it's like there's too many
Speaker 1: damn of services and if you want to keep up
Speaker 1: with all of like the mainstream media like offerings out
Speaker 1: there for TV and ship, you're spending way more money
Speaker 1: now and you and you lose track Because I think
Speaker 1: it's really it's kind of brilliant because you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's just only six Okay, I'll get that one, oh,
Speaker 1: that one, And then you look you're like, hold on minute,
Speaker 1: what the funk am I doing right now? Do you
Speaker 1: think like it's possible? Because when Steve Jobs made like
Speaker 1: the iTunes store, at first we're like, there's no way,
Speaker 1: but now you buy music a la cart and I
Speaker 1: remember thinking like I would not do that. Do you
Speaker 1: think there's a world in our near future where we
Speaker 1: get rid of like the big conglomerates and we're buying
Speaker 1: programs like you know, like books, books can be sold
Speaker 1: in all bookstores. Why do we need to watch it
Speaker 1: seems like subscribe to the whole streaming platforms. It seems
Speaker 1: like most people in like in the industry think that
Speaker 1: it's gonna turn into a singularity again like cable, Like
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to package all this ship together.
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be because then you stand
Speaker 1: to lose money if you allow people to buy things
Speaker 1: all a cart. That's why I like sometimes an advertiser,
Speaker 1: but not as a or as a platform, but not
Speaker 1: as a creator, like sure, sure, oh absolutely, but then
Speaker 1: that's a complete that's like, that's a business model that
Speaker 1: would completely upend the predatory nature of how like people
Speaker 1: are compensated in the industry, I'd say, but I think
Speaker 1: like with how like you know, if you think of
Speaker 1: how like a cable company is like I want I
Speaker 1: just want the Internet. They're like, we're you gonna get
Speaker 1: this phone and cable too, Like what can I just
Speaker 1: get the other thing? It's like no, No, this is
Speaker 1: how we help you try and like incentivize you to
Speaker 1: add more ship on and stay within our ecosystem, so
Speaker 1: you end up being like a higher margin consumer, which
Speaker 1: is what this ship is all about, is creating high
Speaker 1: margin consumers. It's not just dreaming to like all like, um,
Speaker 1: I bought Microsoft Office because I had to update, and
Speaker 1: then they offered me a free year of Uber one
Speaker 1: and I'm like what, how are these things related? But
Speaker 1: Uber all the Lift plus Postman They're like, you want
Speaker 1: to watch the Big Game? How about three months of
Speaker 1: free delivery? And it's like I kind of understand how
Speaker 1: they're related in that where all people who are who
Speaker 1: have to use these big companies because they're like basically monopolies.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, why are they all taking up to
Speaker 1: take our money? Like, yeah, what happened at the competition
Speaker 1: making the product better? No? No, no, how can we
Speaker 1: squeeze the fucking life out of you with all these ads?
Speaker 1: And I'll be at Uber one like one person. Like,
Speaker 1: if anyone needs to delivery, text me, I will whatever
Speaker 1: rate be it. If I'm free, I will deliver it
Speaker 1: to your house. Yeah. I just just for the glove
Speaker 1: of wanting to take down these big companies. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: all just start delivering against Uber. Yeah. Yeah, there's no differentiation.
Speaker 1: It's just all one big like gray. It's like Plato
Speaker 1: after you like put all the Plato together and it
Speaker 1: just becomes gray. It's like that's what we just live in,
Speaker 1: this weird gray Plato mob. And everything's the same and
Speaker 1: it's all providing the same service and it's all bad
Speaker 1: and god a nightmare. Well look, they're, like I said,
Speaker 1: they're all struggling for cash right now, so and I
Speaker 1: could care less about the corporation strugglings and get rid
Speaker 1: of the big executives. Come on, man, bye, Bob Iger
Speaker 1: just told all the Disney folks you're back in the
Speaker 1: office four days a week. Bobby is back. I think
Speaker 1: we've get rid of all the sea level jobs and
Speaker 1: all they're the ones being like nobody wants to work.
Speaker 1: All of them are unemployed and no income. They have
Speaker 1: enough saying means to just go on vacation for a
Speaker 1: little bit and then when they come back they can
Speaker 1: work for us, you know. They that I think is
Speaker 1: the plan, that's the way forward. Well, we just need
Speaker 1: to send them all to that tropical island that Larry
Speaker 1: Summers is on like waxing philosophical about the future of
Speaker 1: the economy, and just put them on a closed circuit
Speaker 1: TV that only they can see, and they're just like
Speaker 1: doing interviews back and forth like taught talking about their speculation.
Speaker 1: And then we're back here burning down their whole this
Speaker 1: whole fucking mess that they've created, because it really it's
Speaker 1: really like any sort of human interaction has been removed,
Speaker 1: as like we're creating a friction list consumer environment. And
Speaker 1: that's like I literally called my health insurance today because
Speaker 1: I got an email that it was canceled. I'm getting
Speaker 1: a refund. It turned out that I had switched it
Speaker 1: without realizing. But what I called the Persson phone, who
Speaker 1: is just doing a job. She doesn't know, but she
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I think we've been getting a lot
Speaker 1: of calls like this. Um, I think what Blue Cross
Speaker 1: has been doing is they've been canceling people's numbers just
Speaker 1: because they want to give people a new member I
Speaker 1: D so they'll refund and then people can't pay their
Speaker 1: bills because they don't know what their member I D.
Speaker 1: So you probably have this. Let me look into it.
Speaker 1: Turns out it wasn't that, so I don't even know
Speaker 1: she was lying and just you know, saying I'm like
Speaker 1: that's bad, Like why is that happen? She's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but you should, like you're the person people call,
Speaker 1: they should tell you. American consumers and American corporations are
Speaker 1: in the most toxic relationships. It's just like they're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat you like ship and then you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to like just come back to me, and then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat you like ship again and give you
Speaker 1: the worst excuse or no excuse, and you're going to
Speaker 1: keep taking it because there's nothing you can do. That's
Speaker 1: really it sounds like something that you'd see me. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like something you see on what on TLC.
Speaker 1: You see relationships exactly like that on MA Fiance. Yeah, well, Teresa,

Speaker 1: but she like really lights up as she's realizing, like
Speaker 1: this is what people see, and her eyes like light
Speaker 1: up because he's like, yeah, this is when you look
Speaker 1: into someone's eyes, like you can see the light, but
Speaker 1: usually in the mirror you don't see that because it's
Speaker 1: not reflected. And you watch her whole face like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, like really, and she like lights up realizing
Speaker 1: that she lights people up. And it's a really sweet video.

Speaker 1: somebody'all can't see this, but he's gonna take a sip
Speaker 1: of Desagni. He's like looking off and he's like, yo,
Speaker 1: what the just drink? And he looks at him goes, no,
Speaker 1: this ain't it. This ain't it. I think he has
Speaker 1: a beef with Da Sagny. I think some of the
Speaker 1: people are saying in the comments, but you know, like
Speaker 1: he was being messy on purpose. Some people were like
Speaker 1: it almost feels like he was, you know, like he
Speaker 1: had the reaction before he actually had a chance to
Speaker 1: taste it. Look, I'm as king, I know you especially
Speaker 1: a nice cold one like that, so you see the condensation. Hey,
Speaker 1: fun bottle water in general, you can drink tap water
