Speaker 1: happens to have a master's degree in film and the
Speaker 1: most anagrammable name in the English language. So depending on
Speaker 1: whether you've been given their name in an assortment of
Speaker 1: scrabbled tile, you may know her as Latin dancer U

Speaker 1: that I have to ruined by saying I do not
Speaker 1: have a new alagram this time we to Durantula. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the So that was a
Speaker 1: nickname that everybody wanted to give to the NBA player
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and he was just like, no things. Oh
Speaker 1: he I thought that that name stuck. I mean people
Speaker 1: say it, but he he was like, I'd rather not
Speaker 1: if you don't, Because he was like Caitlin much better.
Speaker 1: I don't even have a fucking associates degree in watching TV?
Speaker 1: How am I going to step into that? Yes? And
Speaker 1: I give off such spider like vibes. What are what
Speaker 1: are those arachnid vibes you give off? I'm trying. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to pinpoint him. Prickly silence, prickly exterior, prickly interior.
Speaker 1: Everything in my house is covered in cobwebs. So many eyes,
Speaker 1: so many just up in a corner, just chilling in
Speaker 1: the top corner of the room, just like to the corner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you start moving, I do get goose flesh,
Speaker 1: just like the way. There's something uncanny about the way
Speaker 1: you move that gives me goose bumps. It's like a
Speaker 1: video that's called that track. I like the way you move,
Speaker 1: but it's just a highlight tape of spiders moving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just for us. You don't like spiders. Wow,
Speaker 1: you had a reaction right there. I I picked. I
Speaker 1: just pictured a bunch of spiders moving, like spiders are
Speaker 1: the coolest thing to like re remember exist and like
Speaker 1: watching nature documentary on and like you know, or like
Speaker 1: I guess another way to put that would be get
Speaker 1: high and watch a nature documentary about but like just
Speaker 1: just hitting your brain all over again, and it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's so weird that these like if if they didn't exist,
Speaker 1: like it would take the greatest mind in horror film
Speaker 1: to to invent conceive it. So they're like such great hunters.
Speaker 1: Why do they have so many eyes? Why so many legs?
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're so good at killing things. They're like,
Speaker 1: pound for pounds, the best at killing things in on
Speaker 1: the planet. And they're also the scariest looking thing. I
Speaker 1: love that. I love that for them. I love that
Speaker 1: for them. It's just there is there's a limit some
Speaker 1: somewhere too freaky and you gotta be like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: you can't be in here. Others I'm like, let it rock,
Speaker 1: such as tarantulas, because little spiders are creepy enough, then
Speaker 1: you have ones that are the size of your hand.
Speaker 1: You did you know kids that had pet tarantulas. I
Speaker 1: felt that was like a specific kind of kid, Like
Speaker 1: I need two kids that were like tarantula havers, and
Speaker 1: they were they were both boy scouts and like one
Speaker 1: joined the military and the other almost joined the military. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I only knew my man Buzz from from Holone Home Alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well in real life, but Daniel Stern, the scene where
Speaker 1: he has a tarantula put on his face, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: could not pay me any amount of money. Like he's
Speaker 1: the best actor in Hollywood for when the Eyes Crossing.
Speaker 1: That really gets from me, and like living in that one,
Speaker 1: he's never been the same since. I wonder if, like
Speaker 1: anyone who went into like read or audition for that
Speaker 1: role they were like, Okay, just so you know you
Speaker 1: you're going to have a tarantula put on your face,
Speaker 1: and they like that's how they evaluated, right, or if
Speaker 1: they're just like you're hired. And also by the way,
Speaker 1: a tarantula is going on your face, and then he
Speaker 1: had to come to terms with that role. Was originally
Speaker 1: cast as Daniel day Lewis, then it went to de Niro,
Speaker 1: then it went to Pacino and they all said no
Speaker 1: to the tarantula. So that's how they ended up with Stern. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the bottom of the list. I mean, I wonder if
Speaker 1: that's something you have to be upfront with a certain
Speaker 1: people that are like, look, I'm cool with full frontal
Speaker 1: nudity or whatever, but I don't funk with spiders. I
Speaker 1: do not do spiders. I do not do spiders. Don't
Speaker 1: even send me on a spider audition. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: care how much money they make. All right, Caitlyn, We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better at
Speaker 1: the moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about today. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about Ronda Santis and just the latest on I
Speaker 1: think after he was the one big part the highlight
Speaker 1: of the non existent red wave the mid terms, everyone
Speaker 1: was like, this is the future of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: because he gets the culture war right. He does it right,
Speaker 1: this guy. So we're gonna just look look at that,
Speaker 1: check the record on that one. We are going to
Speaker 1: check the record on the Rick and Morty guy, justin Royland,
Speaker 1: who is a predator and horrible person, and we've known
Speaker 1: that for a couple of years, but they're like just
Speaker 1: now reporting it, it seems like. So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about what's going on at the Twitter office
Speaker 1: and Singapore. We're gonna talk about Ben Affleck working for
Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts like at the drive thru. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Caitlin, we do like to
Speaker 1: ask our guest, what is something from your search history.
Speaker 1: I just googled mythological sea creatures, specifically creatures question mark
Speaker 1: three questions. Please don't be real, Please don't be real.
Speaker 1: We already have spiders I can't deal with because I'm
Speaker 1: writing a pie. It Wow, so brave, so cool of
Speaker 1: me to do, and um, it's a fantasy show because
Speaker 1: they're all the rage right now. And I realized I
Speaker 1: know a bunch of mythological land creatures. But I was like,
Speaker 1: what about the c one you got Mermaids? Okay, hold
Speaker 1: let me try and think. Okay, mermaid I'm trying to
Speaker 1: even think. But also like mermaids are like half humans,
Speaker 1: so I don't even know if I would count that
Speaker 1: like a cracking I think is the only thing I
Speaker 1: could crack. And I got like, I know, there's like
Speaker 1: the sea serpent that is like the it was basically
Speaker 1: an oar fish. They saw on ar fish and we're like,
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a fucking monster, right basically correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the episode where I just repeatedly tell you
Speaker 1: that I believe in monsters. They're and then I'm blown
Speaker 1: away by nature documentary. Wait, so what are the what
Speaker 1: are the other ones? Yeah, because I too would have
Speaker 1: to google this. Well, sirens, yes, but don't sirens kind
Speaker 1: of take on a human form or do they? Yeah? Right? Um,
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't specifically like very animal like ones. And
Speaker 1: there was a small list. I didn't recognize any of
Speaker 1: the names except for the crack In and then I
Speaker 1: didn't look into it further because I decided, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this is fantasy. I can make my own ship. So
Speaker 1: then I just invented a bunch of mythological sea creatures.
Speaker 1: Man imagine like a trans medium spider. No, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that can like get that can be like yo,
Speaker 1: I could get down here, I can get down on land.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I don't have to be in one
Speaker 1: place like spider. Do not like, do not recommend? They
Speaker 1: look like spiders that have been dead for a long time.
Speaker 1: Oh like, they're kind of like they're kind of like wormy. No, uh,
Speaker 1: spiders with wings? I think, is what? So what are
Speaker 1: there are you thinking of any cool stuff? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: turns out it's not that important to the show. I
Speaker 1: was just being so thorough. Hell you got a world
Speaker 1: build that part of it, right, But I did. I
Speaker 1: did invent several land critter and you'll just have to
Speaker 1: watch my upcoming show. It's definitely going to be made
Speaker 1: and go on for eight seasons at least, so be
Speaker 1: on the lookout. And you got to catch the first
Speaker 1: one because that's yeah, there there is a lot of
Speaker 1: lower to these creatures. Yeah, if you jump in episode two,
Speaker 1: you might as well just don't bother. It's dense, m
Speaker 1: scariest sea animals for me, since you just asked, you
Speaker 1: ever seen one of these crabs that are top monsters
Speaker 1: number five? Have you ever seen one of these things?
Speaker 1: What is? But? What is it? Spider? A small suv? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that ship is wild. Also coconut crabs they again, sci
Speaker 1: fi monsters exist on Reddy And I saw a clip
Speaker 1: of a hermit crab that had used an old abandoned
Speaker 1: dolls head as its shows. It was the freakiest picture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like this little dollars. Second, like I am seeing a
Speaker 1: photo of an adult man holding a Japanese spider crab
Speaker 1: and it's enormous. It's too big, right, The legs are
Speaker 1: like six feet long at a minimum, fully extended It's
Speaker 1: like Victor Wending Yama Lynx on these sons of bitches,
Speaker 1: but is not a basketball player. I only know he
Speaker 1: is a Yeah, this is actually helpful because he's going
Speaker 1: to be like the most famous person on the planet
Speaker 1: in three years. But he's currently seventeen and a French
Speaker 1: basketball player who is like seven ft five and pretty good.
Speaker 1: All right, what is something you think is overrated? Caitlin?
Speaker 1: I think that almost every Oscar Buzz movie of this
Speaker 1: season is overrated. M hmm, okay, did not care for
Speaker 1: all the things that are getting awards Buzz your Fableman's
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that good. Yeah, Babylon wasn't
Speaker 1: a fan Babylon, Sorry about it. Yeah, I didn't like Babylon.
Speaker 1: Babylon hurt me. It was just painful. It was painful.
Speaker 1: Uh you got Tar? I was I was it just?
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of these things are movies that
Speaker 1: I recognize as like well crafted pieces of cinema, but
Speaker 1: I guess they just weren't for me. I agree with Tar,
Speaker 1: although I feel like I need to watch Tar. Tar
Speaker 1: is the only one that I was like, I need
Speaker 1: to watch that again because I didn't. I just felt
Speaker 1: kind of confused by it, so I need to watch it,
Speaker 1: but that is not true top gun Maverick people, it
Speaker 1: was all the rage I was. I was somewhat underwhelmed
Speaker 1: by Elvis. I thought was frankly a turd. Did you
Speaker 1: watch that with us? Did you know? I know I was?
Speaker 1: You couldn't come to that? Wow? That was fun, but
Speaker 1: holy sh it, but a nightmare. That's truly Avatar I
Speaker 1: thought was clunky, but you were an avatar You're you're
Speaker 1: an avatar head or no Jamie avatar hood. It's Jamie
Speaker 1: more so than me, but I generally the first one,
Speaker 1: despite its many problems. And if you want to hear
Speaker 1: about mine and Jamie's opinions on them, as well as
Speaker 1: our guest on that episode of The Beckel Cast, Ali Naughty,
Speaker 1: you can go over and check that out. But we
Speaker 1: don't actually acknowledge other podcasts. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. We allow what's a podcast? Yeah, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: understand then you've got oh even like Banshees of Ed Shearing,
Speaker 1: which Caesar. It won a bunch of Gold Globes recently,
Speaker 1: and while I liked it and it's probably my favorite
Speaker 1: of this list, of buzzy movies. I don't. I would
Speaker 1: not put it as best picture. I think the one
Speaker 1: exception or there's a handful of exceptions. Everything Everywhere, All
Speaker 1: At Once is probably the first movie that came out
Speaker 1: last year, or at least my favorite, and that should
Speaker 1: have gotten more recognition. Movie was your favorite movie of
Speaker 1: the year. Let me tell you why, Everything Everywhere, All
Speaker 1: at Once? Isn't that great? Talking about people who have
Speaker 1: those takes where they can't just be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that was a fun That was the best thing I saw.
Speaker 1: I'm not that everyone has to conform to that opinion,
Speaker 1: but you see people battle like they're just embrace of
Speaker 1: it too differentiate, but yeah, yeah, people love to be contrarian,
Speaker 1: and so do I. Yeah, actually you don't that much.
Speaker 1: I try. I think that was maybe contrarian here, Oh funny,
Speaker 1: got your ass? Just just admit real quick that I
Speaker 1: got your a. Uh Ever, since his kid pantsed him
Speaker 1: at the grocery trying to reclaim his dominance, can we
Speaker 1: just admit it and get it over with around? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is this leading up to an underrated That? Were it?
Speaker 1: Unless you have other other awards favorites that no, So
Speaker 1: those are the main ones, everything everywhere else once good,
Speaker 1: but everything else kind of overrated. What is something that
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Kate, Okay, it's another movie, Puss
Speaker 1: in Boots, The Last Bear. I heard it was really
Speaker 1: intense Rocks And every person I say that to their like, really,
Speaker 1: are you sure about that? And I'm like, I'm I
Speaker 1: have a master's degree in screenwriting. Yeah, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: well done. It is well done at least I saw
Speaker 1: the first forty five minutes and it became too scared
Speaker 1: from my both my four year old and six year old.
Speaker 1: When when Goldilocks and the Three Bears get involved and
Speaker 1: they are just their presence in the movie is like Antons,
Speaker 1: sugar in no Country like that. It's just like they
Speaker 1: they are a force of nature that is coming. And
Speaker 1: I think it's stressed my kids out a little too much.
Speaker 1: So is a little bit more adult than your average
Speaker 1: children family movie. Yeah, yeah, but it's so it exists
Speaker 1: in the Shrek universe. It's very Shrek fan. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the animation style is very similar to the
Speaker 1: animation in Spider Man Into the Spider Verse, which is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time. So it's
Speaker 1: visually really cool. The story is just like tight and solid,
Speaker 1: and it has good themes and messaging, and the characters
Speaker 1: are fun and and it's put some boots What can
Speaker 1: I say? My my kids did it left an impression?
Speaker 1: I'll say that because we've had the conversation where they
Speaker 1: make me tell them all of the ways he died.
Speaker 1: So it's a lot about mortality. So he is on
Speaker 1: his the premises he is on his ninth final life
Speaker 1: miles and so he has to go to a retirement
Speaker 1: home and like just like back away because he can't
Speaker 1: be a cat of adventure when he only has one
Speaker 1: one life left to live. But they do a quick,
Speaker 1: very fun run through of all the ways he's died,
Speaker 1: and that blew my kids fucking minds man there and
Speaker 1: then they kept being like, okay, so what was the
Speaker 1: third way? Puts in bootsie? What was the fifth? And
Speaker 1: like they were disappointed that I didn't like have this
Speaker 1: committed to memory immediately, So am I Jack? You got
Speaker 1: one of the ways he died was that the running
Speaker 1: of the bulls, And then I had to explain to them,
Speaker 1: like why people do that? And then they were that
Speaker 1: there's no good explanation for that. But you've even been
Speaker 1: to a fun Yeah, so you couldn't even you couldn't
Speaker 1: even lead, Like, let me tell you a little bit
Speaker 1: about Yeah, I got I still couldn't yeah connected them
Speaker 1: because some people, you know, they want to feel alive
Speaker 1: by almost being dead, Like what what do you mean? Anyways?
Speaker 1: Al Right, well, I'm glad to know that that has
Speaker 1: entered the cannon with you know, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it's on the level of Paddington two or you know,
Speaker 1: some of the Shrek movies, but it's history will determine that.
Speaker 1: But it is good. I always love a good Caitlin Durante.
Speaker 1: Like this movie that's being slept on and thought of
Speaker 1: as a non serious children's movie is actually needs its
Speaker 1: own criterion collection. Yea, yeah, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. So
Speaker 1: one of the big stories in the mainstream media, the
Speaker 1: big assumptions that everybody's going with that I'm sure is
Speaker 1: probably wrong in some ways, that like Trump's over and
Speaker 1: de Santis seems to be their chosen successor, the man
Speaker 1: who's going to lead the conservative movement going forward. Look,
Speaker 1: how good he did in last election, and he owned
Speaker 1: us in culture war the end. That's it. He knows
Speaker 1: how to win the culture wars. He knows how to
Speaker 1: own the Libs and that and that's that's exactly why
Speaker 1: people vote for him because they don't care about what
Speaker 1: their actual lived experiences. They just want him to make
Speaker 1: Libs go like no. So you know a lot of
Speaker 1: it again, they say, it's this, this this strength of
Speaker 1: picking battles of cold the culture war to engage in.
Speaker 1: And you know the fact that he goes after public
Speaker 1: education for being to woke, or that his policies are
Speaker 1: meant to dehumanize like LGBTQ people is like the reason
Speaker 1: for him doing so well in the state, and that
Speaker 1: further resonates with the country because he's doing the culture
Speaker 1: war right, is kind of the thinking like and that
Speaker 1: can extend to everywhere because this this gets everybody going.
Speaker 1: We've seen it in these town hall meetings and things
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, a few things, yes, he did well,
Speaker 1: but that isn't because he decided to be like a
Speaker 1: vile human. If you look at some of the down
Speaker 1: ballot races, the message that kids are being groomed to
Speaker 1: like take a dump in a sandbox isn't like a
Speaker 1: winner at all, like in reality, you know, when you
Speaker 1: look at certain areas, Like there's a school board election
Speaker 1: result that showed just how unpopular it was to ban
Speaker 1: books and bullying gay and transgender kids in Polk County,
Speaker 1: where he won almost six of the vote, like, which
Speaker 1: was five points better than in the state. But if
Speaker 1: you when you look down in that county, four Republican
Speaker 1: school board candidates, including one of de Santis has chosen,
Speaker 1: they collectively took less than forty seven percent of the
Speaker 1: vote against their Democrat and nonpartisan opponents. So that's like
Speaker 1: like you're starting to see like it's not quite moving
Speaker 1: the needle in this gigantic way. And then in November,
Speaker 1: huge like you know, with a very Republican electorate, they
Speaker 1: voted down this like pro censorship dark money back to
Speaker 1: Republican school board candidate with fifty six percent supporting her
Speaker 1: opponent who was a public school advocate. So people were like, oh,
Speaker 1: this person who's going all in on it, were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe the person who's like, we need like properly funded schools,
Speaker 1: so like the buildings aren't like in ill condition, you know,
Speaker 1: like that kind of stuff seemed to work more even
Speaker 1: with a heavily Republican area. And I don't want your
Speaker 1: I don't want buildings to fall down on you and
Speaker 1: your children. Who bring it down on me, now bury
Speaker 1: me alive. I will survive. And you know, like you
Speaker 1: look even around this like the country. Right in West Virginia,
Speaker 1: they voted down a constitutional amendment that like they're like,
Speaker 1: these Republicans are like, look, give us to like, you know,
Speaker 1: give us more power to enact all kinds of draconian
Speaker 1: school policies like that. There's like a billy to be like,
Speaker 1: let the legislature just run wild with it. They were
Speaker 1: like nah. And then other states which are definitely more blue,
Speaker 1: like there were many there were much bigger increases to
Speaker 1: school funding that people were embracing. So not to say
Speaker 1: that these kinds of candidates weren't winning, But it's not
Speaker 1: like the Santas popularity. Isn't that he's found this magic
Speaker 1: bullet of an argument or like propellant for his campaign.
Speaker 1: You know that's going to take it there, Because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people who aren't quite like living in the same existence
Speaker 1: as maybe the people who are open mouth taking and
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson propaganda every night mm hmm. And it's it
Speaker 1: should be said though too, like millions and millions of
Speaker 1: dollars have been spent like on me, like this kind
Speaker 1: of messaging and to back these candidates. And again that
Speaker 1: like the CRT groom or gospel thing is part of
Speaker 1: their ideology, was didn't have quite the impact. I think
Speaker 1: many people thought that that it would. And and remember
Speaker 1: just last week we covered a story I forget it
Speaker 1: feels on trends of the regular episode that people like
Speaker 1: political analysts were saying that Biden is pivoting to the
Speaker 1: middle and they're big takeaway or like one of the
Speaker 1: big bullet points for why he needs to pivot to
Speaker 1: the middle is that voters in the mid term last
Speaker 1: year rejected the extremes and then they listened a bunch
Speaker 1: of right wing extreme talking points and like positions that
Speaker 1: they rejected and nothing nothing from the left that was rejected.
Speaker 1: But it's just it got like it it's just so
Speaker 1: so weird, how you know, And anything like progressive things
Speaker 1: like funding public schools that seemed very pular just get
Speaker 1: fucking like funding schools, you know what I mean? Funding schools. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what your communists. More money for a teacher to
Speaker 1: teach your kid to read, your fucking weirdo like like
Speaker 1: very popular and immediately just gets shut down and you know,
Speaker 1: erased in favor of you know, everybody wants to fire
Speaker 1: the teachers and you know, just the loudest, craziest talking
Speaker 1: right wing talking point that they can find. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think you know, the true power or the
Speaker 1: thing that people are actually seeing, isn't that because he's
Speaker 1: like the culture war goat. There's like a lot about
Speaker 1: his campaign and the infrastructure in in Florida that has
Speaker 1: massively helped him. Like in his first run for governor,
Speaker 1: they had a gigantic voter registration drive that absolutely just
Speaker 1: blue Democrat. There's like three hundred thousand more Republicans now,
Speaker 1: like if they found a way to turn as many
Speaker 1: Republicans out in Florida. And on top of that, Democrats
Speaker 1: have basically seen the writing on the wall and they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, so this is an l let's just take
Speaker 1: our things and go like we're not gonna there's no
Speaker 1: point in doing anything here. So not to say that
Speaker 1: they've given up, but the amount of energy going into
Speaker 1: registering more Republicans is a huge reason why. Like de
Speaker 1: Santis also has an advantage, not specifically just to say
Speaker 1: people are turning out because they hate critical race theory.
Speaker 1: It's like they have a numerical advantage. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, some of these policies aren't quite
Speaker 1: resonating in the same way. So this is just this
Speaker 1: is just like education, right, the Republicans in the House
Speaker 1: are now like wanting to go after abortion again, even
Speaker 1: though it was very clear that this was a losing proposition,
Speaker 1: like there's there's these lessons aren't quite connecting for everybody
Speaker 1: that it's like, Okay, let's see if we can kind
Speaker 1: of start chumming those waters again to see what what
Speaker 1: will be good there. And I think this is something
Speaker 1: that Democrats need to pay attention to, like not getting
Speaker 1: necessarily bogged down in these culture war battles, just be
Speaker 1: proactive and speak to what Americans are actually worried about,
Speaker 1: Like I think most parents aren't being like are there sandboxes?
Speaker 1: And are people being told about slavery? Sorry say litter boxes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, And like more so, are the school
Speaker 1: is well funded? And can my kid get a decent
Speaker 1: education and is it a relatively safe place. Those seem
Speaker 1: to rank much higher first for parents, even in polling
Speaker 1: than things like parental choice to like stop like to
Speaker 1: keep this kind of indoctrination out of our schools. And
Speaker 1: it's the same way that like that's what you know,
Speaker 1: that's a very easy thing to be saying as a
Speaker 1: platform policy for amocrats be like, yeah, school is more funded,
Speaker 1: you get a better education, so you have, you know,
Speaker 1: a decent shot at surviving in this fucked up system.
Speaker 1: And also things like saying, you know, reproductive rights are
Speaker 1: human rights. Those are winners. So to think that, like,
Speaker 1: oh god, what do we do, just keep you know,
Speaker 1: focus on what a regular person cares about, not sort
Speaker 1: of getting completely caught up in like the Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: commentary of it all, which again sways a lot of
Speaker 1: like the donor and elected official class, but there's a
Speaker 1: lot of polling analysis of like how much those concerns
Speaker 1: actually go down to like the working class voters in
Speaker 1: each party. He also seems to be like in the
Speaker 1: way that Trump is singularly able to do what Trump does,
Speaker 1: like he seems to be able to like I think
Speaker 1: there's a thing that happens in political journalism, where they
Speaker 1: assume that some one thing that works for one person
Speaker 1: is going to work repeatedly for And I think it
Speaker 1: happens probably even more so in the world of like
Speaker 1: political strategists, and that that whole massive industry that could
Speaker 1: just as well disappear tomorrow and the world would be
Speaker 1: a better place. But the the this idea that like, well,
Speaker 1: the people are learning from De santists and then everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna do that, And it's like, well, I think it
Speaker 1: works for de Santis because he is somebody who is
Speaker 1: you know, has all these educational like bona fides and
Speaker 1: then pretends to believe all the crazy ship And then
Speaker 1: with a lot of these other politicians, the fact that
Speaker 1: the thing they're saying is objectively like suggests that they
Speaker 1: are unstable and that that is a big turn off
Speaker 1: for people. So like, I don't know, I feel like
Speaker 1: he's able to pull it off better er than other
Speaker 1: people because he's like has there there's something about him
Speaker 1: that is like boring, But then he's also able to
Speaker 1: like make it sound like it's coming from a place
Speaker 1: that's grounded and he's lying, Like I don't like he
Speaker 1: doesn't believe it. He's just opportunistically pretending that he believes
Speaker 1: this bullshit. But I I don't know that always gets
Speaker 1: erased from it like that that this is maybe he's
Speaker 1: just like a singular person who's able to project the
Speaker 1: very specific thing that is needed for these positions that
Speaker 1: are objectively very scary because they're crazy and hateful, like
Speaker 1: people are able to get around that with him and
Speaker 1: almost nobody else him and Trump essentially, it makes sense
Speaker 1: to me that he's able to do this and nobody
Speaker 1: else is because he's an individual person who has a
Speaker 1: good political campaign behind him and a lot of money
Speaker 1: and ship and yeah, just like yeah, extremely well fund
Speaker 1: extremely careful, and he is smart and shrewd about how
Speaker 1: how he does it. So that that's another thing that
Speaker 1: I feel like it's removed from it, And it's just
Speaker 1: the mainstream media's interest is to create as much news
Speaker 1: as possible around this stuff, and the information I think
Speaker 1: is a lot simpler than they want it to be
Speaker 1: in the long rum, which is, like like you said,
Speaker 1: people just want the thing that's going to be best
Speaker 1: for them and their family, and you know they will
Speaker 1: only support these positions that suggest that they are like,
Speaker 1: that's suggest just a hateful, kind of chaotic, crazy world.
Speaker 1: If the person is either you know, projecting a sense
Speaker 1: of competency beyond what you get from your mtgs or whatever,
Speaker 1: or if they are like a cult of personality like Trump.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's just not going to work, Like if you
Speaker 1: just like those are two somewhat simple ideas that I
Speaker 1: I think people aren't going to say on CNN because
Speaker 1: it doesn't allow you to just like scream. And also
Speaker 1: that there's something fun and enraging and exciting about this
Speaker 1: idea that like everyone around you was crazy past the
Speaker 1: country's crazy and they all want you to die. And
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I think like to your point, he's
Speaker 1: he's doing it really well because like the calm that
Speaker 1: he projects, and also he's at a position that's high
Speaker 1: enough that makes the threats that he makes like tangible.
Speaker 1: You know, you can only do so much screaming as
Speaker 1: a candidate. You're like, oh, just wait untill I do this.
Speaker 1: But Rond de Santis can be like here's the stop
Speaker 1: woke act, here's this, here's that, here's that, and people
Speaker 1: are like, oh my gosh, and not to mention too
Speaker 1: like when those storms hit Florida. He was very quick
Speaker 1: to work with Joe Biden to like get things going
Speaker 1: back again. The people who live in the state, they're
Speaker 1: probably responding more to like, man, all right, the storm
Speaker 1: came through. We're starting to see clean up. People are
Speaker 1: getting compensated for like the work they did. Like this
Speaker 1: feels like it's functioning. But I think that's like his
Speaker 1: appeal is that, like Trump, he he occupies a position
Speaker 1: legislatively that allows him to like really make his threats tangible.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes him the most like
Speaker 1: appealing for a lot of these other people across the
Speaker 1: country because they're like, oh, this guy talks to talk
Speaker 1: and he's legislating that way. But I think again with
Speaker 1: the analysis, there's a lot to say that he's in
Speaker 1: a state that's becoming heavy, like becoming becoming red, and
Speaker 1: he has a huge infrastructure advantage, and he's got a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Those things also helped a lot to
Speaker 1: keep you up in the polls and keep you winning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's being supported by the powers of being the Republican Party,
Speaker 1: like but behind the scenes in a way that it
Speaker 1: makes sense to me that he's going to appear to
Speaker 1: have a lot of things break his way in the
Speaker 1: coming years and months. So and And has already been
Speaker 1: in that possession for a while now because I think
Speaker 1: they've given up on the chaos of what would it's
Speaker 1: like to have Trump at the head. They don't learn,
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we can see we've never seen before.
Speaker 1: But all that to say, there's a lot of room
Speaker 1: for people to make arguments that are just appealing to
Speaker 1: normal people's needs and concerns. Yeah, Like I always thought
Speaker 1: it was weird that the fact that this was wasn't
Speaker 1: this like the deadliest storm in Florida since like in
Speaker 1: in a hundred years, But like that didn't really get
Speaker 1: played up that much. I feel like the media imprint
Speaker 1: of the storm was not not that Like it wasn't
Speaker 1: that big a deal. And I feel like, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know why that was the case. Like that.
Speaker 1: That's always made me like wonder, like, are they is
Speaker 1: the mainstream media just sort of kind of on board
Speaker 1: like that that would have been an incovenient fact for
Speaker 1: for de Santis, you know, somebody who's like a climate denier.
Speaker 1: But I think that's where they don't. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: seen the media is like just woefully unprepared to actually
Speaker 1: discuss climate change as it relates to things and connect
Speaker 1: the dots, Like we're getting more unprepared to connect the
Speaker 1: dots on that as it's becoming more of a reality,
Speaker 1: because I think there's probably a bigger and bigger investment
Speaker 1: going into making it seem like it's not the reality
Speaker 1: of the situation. I have something really smart to say, Storm.
Speaker 1: I was thinking Torrential downpours Tarantulas. There's a bee disaster movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right there, Spider Storm, torrent Torrential. The only thing I
Speaker 1: disagree with is that it's a be movie. I think
Speaker 1: you that oscar bait and it would be better than
Speaker 1: everything we've seen this year, thank you. I would probably
Speaker 1: with the Spiders raining down movie. Did say talk about
Speaker 1: how Florida's turning red? That did make me want to
Speaker 1: ask the question, what do you think of that movie
Speaker 1: which came out? Oh it did? I It came out
Speaker 1: so early in the year that I keep forgetting to
Speaker 1: associated with. I did rather like it. It was it
Speaker 1: was very it was great, but also like didn't come
Speaker 1: out it just it came out on Disney Plus, right,
Speaker 1: they didn't drop it. That was in March too. I
Speaker 1: was like, what was that January? It was March. They
Speaker 1: really that's a good one though. That's the good Turning
Speaker 1: Red and Florida the bad Turning Red. But not to
Speaker 1: say there's you know, nothing to work for down there.
Speaker 1: But it's just kind of I think it's just the
Speaker 1: way the media is like, or you know, conservative pundits
Speaker 1: are like, and it's all because he hates wokeness. It's like, like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not all it is. That's that's just
Speaker 1: the thing that's fun for you to cover, and that
Speaker 1: is the easiest to generate a bunch of stories on
Speaker 1: and by covering it that way, you are playing correctly
Speaker 1: into his hands. Hey, speaking of Rick the Crypt co
Speaker 1: creator of Rick and Morty, justin Royland is a fucking
Speaker 1: creep and a known creep for a while now, but
Speaker 1: it's just getting picked up in the mainstream media. He
Speaker 1: was charged with domestic violence, false imprisonment by menace, violence,
Speaker 1: fraud and or deceit stemming from a arrest. He has
Speaker 1: had like multiple court dates on this subject. And since
Speaker 1: what's that that that's probably be in the public docket
Speaker 1: for people you know that you've been in court for something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and since that hit and like, as you know, it's
Speaker 1: been the subject of more than a dozen court hearings,
Speaker 1: it was not being reported and Justin Royland continued to
Speaker 1: thrive in the industry, making over one point six five
Speaker 1: million with fucking n f t s. So you know,
Speaker 1: he's cool selling a painting at South Abes, launching a
Speaker 1: video game, and creating multiple new animated shows, presumably about
Speaker 1: characters with screechy voices as yeah again, can we all
Speaker 1: just admit that I got his ass? And then but yeah,
Speaker 1: and then that so now that they're like, okay, so
Speaker 1: we are acknowledging that this happened. Some of the people
Speaker 1: that he's victimized, like dozens of people have come forward
Speaker 1: to share their own stories about his predatory and inappropriate behavior,
Speaker 1: or in some cases reshare because they'd already posted them
Speaker 1: in the past. But bigoted behavior in the workplace and
Speaker 1: predatory behavior like grooming of fifteen year old fans of
Speaker 1: Rick and Morty. So cool. It's yeah, wild that it's
Speaker 1: like something like this like two years ago, right, it's
Speaker 1: that something like this happens is known. But then I'm sure,
Speaker 1: like so many stories we've read like whether it's like
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein or other people in the industry, like sometimes
Speaker 1: like we kind of need to reach a critical mass
Speaker 1: of victims to be able to then say it's a problem,
Speaker 1: because if it's just a couple, then it's like and
Speaker 1: then like the fact that that's how it's even like
Speaker 1: like analyzed like in an editorial sense, is so fucked
Speaker 1: up because in the interim, like you're saying, he's making money,
Speaker 1: he's cooking, and he's probably continuing to who knows what
Speaker 1: other people have been, you know. I am surprised though,
Speaker 1: in the post me Too era, which is when the
Speaker 1: story first broke, because it was that it wouldn't have
Speaker 1: gotten more attention then that I find fascinating, And I
Speaker 1: wonder if it has something to do with the very
Speaker 1: famously or infamously toxic fan base of his and of
Speaker 1: like Rick and Morty, Like I don't know, if I
Speaker 1: don't know, but oh, for sure, this is a this
Speaker 1: is fucking draft day for the right wing army, I'm
Speaker 1: sure of, like you know, Rick and Morty fans who
Speaker 1: have been looking for a reason to be like whoa
Speaker 1: cultures out of control? Like you know that we've seen
Speaker 1: it all the time, like whether it's the people that
Speaker 1: are writing, like the writing staff two decisions that are
Speaker 1: fucking Sechuan Sauce remember that ship. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: these people, Okay, go ahead, do you but yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's I feel like another moment too, where there's
Speaker 1: I'm sure many people like you're saying, people who have
Speaker 1: shared their account before yet disinterested outlets or whatever not
Speaker 1: taking the time to like, you know that that and
Speaker 1: actually put a story out that would allow some form
Speaker 1: of accountability to come. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about what it's like to
Speaker 1: work at Twitter right now. Oh no, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And just a brief update because Twitter does still have
Speaker 1: some employees and the employees who work in their offices
Speaker 1: and the companies Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore this week
Speaker 1: were escorted out walked out of the building by the
Speaker 1: landlords because Elam Musk stopped paying rent there a while back.
Speaker 1: What so, first of all, shout up to the first
Speaker 1: cool thing Elon Musk has done ever, which is like
Speaker 1: refusing to pay landlords. I guess not the first cool
Speaker 1: thing ever. It's electric vehicles are definitely but he didn't,
Speaker 1: but he didn't. He just hostibly took took over that business.
Speaker 1: But like inventing a persona where he's like the Tony
Speaker 1: Stark of electric electric vehicles is probably useful in the
Speaker 1: long run. It's just he turned that into being the
Speaker 1: shittiest version of that possible. But anyways, he just doesn't
Speaker 1: pay for their rent. So everybody h is now being
Speaker 1: invited to work remotely? That's cool? Again? This how cool
Speaker 1: is this guy does? Says fun the landlords, let's everybody
Speaker 1: work remote. I may have said some wrong stuff reallier
Speaker 1: being like you guys better get in here for some FaceTime.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like so what what what? What? How do
Speaker 1: how do they even what? Twitter say? That's a good
Speaker 1: question Twitter's comment. Let me see if I can find
Speaker 1: it here. Oh, they didn't comment on the development because
Speaker 1: of course the company no longer has a communications department
Speaker 1: to contact for comment. So dude, for d chess right there?
Speaker 1: How can I make a comment if I don't even
Speaker 1: have the ability to do that through formal channels? And
Speaker 1: I think, weren't there We're like, didn't people get chased
Speaker 1: out of another like in San Francisco or San Francisco, Seattle,
Speaker 1: the landlords in San Francisco or suing him for over
Speaker 1: a d and thirty six thousand dollars and unpaid rent
Speaker 1: because he just stopped he stopped paying rent there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: who's he doing it in like a baller cool way
Speaker 1: where he's like fuck you to the man, where you know,
Speaker 1: like these landlords who are exploiting you know, everyday people,
Speaker 1: and like rents are too high for anyone to feasibly afford.
Speaker 1: He's just doing it the way that like billionaires refused
Speaker 1: to pay taxes, right, or just someone who absolutely doesn't
Speaker 1: have their ship together at all? And just when is
Speaker 1: the Guinness Book of World Records records for biggest financial
Speaker 1: l taken in the history of mankind? Like, oh, ship
Speaker 1: bills here, here's another cool baller move. He was also like,
Speaker 1: and also fuck the janitors of the world. So the
Speaker 1: reason this might actually come as a relief to some
Speaker 1: of these employees is because he stopped paying janitors a
Speaker 1: while back and just fired them all, forcing workers to
Speaker 1: bring their own toilet paper and have to clean up
Speaker 1: their own workplace at these offices where he didn't he
Speaker 1: like when he took over, he was like everybody's coming
Speaker 1: into the office. You're gonna show me your best code.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like sword Fish. I'm gonna hold a
Speaker 1: gun to your head and make you code while you're
Speaker 1: getting you dicks on kidding, I've never seen it. That's
Speaker 1: that's the first test that John Travolta pus Hugh Jackman
Speaker 1: under Yeah, because Hugh jack was supposed to be this hacker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and getting head with a gun to his head, with
Speaker 1: gun to his head while I'm trying to hack man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to the version of movie hacking that's like
Speaker 1: a cardio vascular like event where you're like having you're
Speaker 1: like hacking so hard. He's like, this guy's got the
Speaker 1: best hacking fingers in the game. Look at those suckers
Speaker 1: who So it's like that scene from Social Network when
Speaker 1: they're like they have the like coders around a table
Speaker 1: and they have to like chug beer every ten minutes
Speaker 1: or every three minutes. It's that dialed up to a
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Yeah, hell yeah. I think we all have
Speaker 1: to stop and admit that Caitlin got arrass got alright
Speaker 1: with that one has officially gotten hasn't been gotten? Got
Speaker 1: it all right? Let's talk about an actual cool, famous person.
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck. Thank you to go Bro my man too, though,
Speaker 1: isn't he he's like been kid shit Yeah, but did
Speaker 1: something recently come out with him to No? I think
Speaker 1: there's just like the thing that I know about is
Speaker 1: like all those videos where he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: he was drunk all day all the time, and like
Speaker 1: going on press tours and just like being like here,
Speaker 1: come here and sit on my lap. A lot of
Speaker 1: like female interviewers really uncomfortable. Yeah. Mmmm, is this like
Speaker 1: on his way to like the boy, like on the
Speaker 1: way down the and he like ended up having to
Speaker 1: go to rehab and everything like that continued. No, I think, yeah, no, No,
Speaker 1: I think it was part of his you know, struggles
Speaker 1: with substances, but not the other way. Those are behind
Speaker 1: him in any you know, day at a time. Anyways,
Speaker 1: one of the things that he is known for, in
Speaker 1: addition to you know, being a creepy interview is being
Speaker 1: a Duncan super fan. You know. I think, is he
Speaker 1: holding a Duncan frozen Duncan drink in the sad Affleck meme?
Speaker 1: Or is that a Starbucks? I can't I can't remember.
Speaker 1: I feel like he has a big iced coffee in
Speaker 1: the sad affle like the one where he's like in
Speaker 1: that doorway. Oh, maybe he's just smoking in that one
Speaker 1: that I thought, there's a I feel like where he's
Speaker 1: carrying a giant Do you how many sad affleck memes
Speaker 1: are there? There's one because the first one that pops
Speaker 1: up when you just search sad affleck meme is him
Speaker 1: sitting sitting beside Is that Henry Cavill. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: makes sense because it's probably Batman v. Superman and he's
Speaker 1: just like then there's the one in his towel like
Speaker 1: looking out at the sea with his Oh okay, I
Speaker 1: think I'm looking at the one. Okay, so it's him.
Speaker 1: He's like grimacing, he's he's like holding way more than
Speaker 1: he's able to comfortably. As far as Duncan, it's a
Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts. It's Duncan munchkins. It's like three iced coffees.
Speaker 1: He has a shirt that says like believe in Boston
Speaker 1: on it. It's the most Boston photo I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in my life. Anyways, he's he is now creating the opposite,
Speaker 1: the polar opposite of the sad Affleck means he went
Speaker 1: and just worked dunkin Donuts drive through. We we don't
Speaker 1: know what we're assuming this is like part of a
Speaker 1: fucking Super Bowl commercial of some dude. There's no way
Speaker 1: some fucking celebrities like you know what. I want to
Speaker 1: humble myself and work a service job for a while,
Speaker 1: just to see what that's like. Like I feel that
Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't this content. It has to be
Speaker 1: like this. There has to be content. I really hope
Speaker 1: for him, for us as a society that it's not
Speaker 1: and that this is just a thing that he's doing
Speaker 1: and like out of a sense of like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like there when when you go back there. There's that
Speaker 1: book that I talked about, a Dawn of Everything that
Speaker 1: looks back at a bunch of civilizations like in America before,
Speaker 1: like pre Colombian America's, and one of the things that
Speaker 1: they find that these civilizations would do repeatedly is they
Speaker 1: would have like they would change so like one person
Speaker 1: would be designated as like the ruler for a year,
Speaker 1: but then they would spend a couple of weeks doing
Speaker 1: like cleaning out the ship of everybody else like that.
Speaker 1: There was there was no permanence to the status in
Speaker 1: any of these civilizations, and like it, it feels like
Speaker 1: they all came on this. I came upon this idea
Speaker 1: because like that's that's a great idea, like to undercover Boss,
Speaker 1: but like real actually like not for the cameras, but
Speaker 1: like actually undercover boss the ship out of our civilization
Speaker 1: so that like nobody is permanently anything, and you don't
Speaker 1: get to stay and like people, people who were like
Speaker 1: viewed as leaders were viewed inherently with distrust, and if
Speaker 1: they tried to stay leader for like more than six months,
Speaker 1: everyone's like the funk out of here, like your Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I think I think we need
Speaker 1: more of this built into our civilization, where you know,
Speaker 1: somebody who is two thousand and eight an Affleck is
Speaker 1: now somebody you could actually just like pass in the
Speaker 1: drive through and be like, oh ship Affleck, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: were that sucked up my Coolatta Hey, asked neck, you
Speaker 1: funked up my drink? They get back in there, got
Speaker 1: his ass. He looks so happy in these pictures. Quick question,
Speaker 1: Quick question, was Jlo around? J Lo was there too?
Speaker 1: And that is why we know it is content. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, So it's either it's either straight up
Speaker 1: content or it's the weirdest ship. And she's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, this is cool. She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him. I just want to keep my
Speaker 1: eye on him. Maybe he's researching for a role. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's a that could be. And he's like, man,
Speaker 1: so he's like playing somebody who works at a Duncan
Speaker 1: drive through and and he insists that the script be
Speaker 1: adjusted to where everyone's just like so happy to see
Speaker 1: you every time they get to the window and they're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: you're ben Affleck. I mean, I'm reading the script and
Speaker 1: it's just not really connecting like this this guy who
Speaker 1: works to drive to it sounds like he's he's not
Speaker 1: appreciated by others and it and it's really a sad time.
Speaker 1: But everything I've experienced was fantastic. You were so kind.
Speaker 1: This is really connecting to react. Yeah, And like he
Speaker 1: never gives them their money back when they try to
Speaker 1: pay for their drink like I did when I was
Speaker 1: because that's apparently what he was doing. He's like, Nah,
Speaker 1: you don't not You're not paying me for their duncan order.
Speaker 1: It's on it's on the house, it's on the affleck,
Speaker 1: it's on the c suite. Yeah. But anyways, j Lo
Speaker 1: was there too, working or just you know, we don't
Speaker 1: know what a lot of questions would never do that,
Speaker 1: she won't let a show fur look her in the eye,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I have started to see, yeah,
Speaker 1: like things on Twitter where people are like, man, every
Speaker 1: single one of when you ask like somebody who's worked
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry for a while, like rudest celebrity
Speaker 1: you've ever met, they were like the answer is always
Speaker 1: the same. I'm not going to say who it is.
Speaker 1: But then everyone in the comments like j Lo jo. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One woman was like, my dad is a chauffeur, Like
Speaker 1: he's a driver in Chicago and like would drive celebrities
Speaker 1: like part of like a you know, like one of
Speaker 1: those services that a lot of like higher up people use.
Speaker 1: And she was saying like, yeah, you know, I know
Speaker 1: that she doesn't look people in the eye or it
Speaker 1: doesn't like people to look her in the eye, because
Speaker 1: I remember my dad caught eyes with her in the
Speaker 1: rear view mirror and he was scolded for looking at her.
Speaker 1: When he was just like looking in his mirrors, and
Speaker 1: they're like, so that's the kind of person we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Don't even cast your gaze upon me, which thing that's cool?
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, I think that is cool that But
Speaker 1: I do it. I do it the reverse way, which
Speaker 1: is I'm not going to cast my eyes on anyone
Speaker 1: because I'm just too in my own head at the moment. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now I'm bad with eye contact for sure. I just
Speaker 1: don't get You can be in Made in Manhattan about
Speaker 1: a working class woman who, like I don't even remember
Speaker 1: the plot, she like pretends to be rich and then
Speaker 1: Baltimort starts dating her and some other stuff happens. But
Speaker 1: how could you can't be in that movie? And then
Speaker 1: look what I'm saying is she should work at dunkin
