There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

episode 3: Hot TaKKKes, Super Anti-Woke Mario Actually Woke 04.12.23
In episode 1461, Jack and Miles are joined by comedian Karl Hess to discuss… Ted Cruz's poorly timed and demonstrably ineffectual plan to secure schools like banks, making SF a better place (with more Klan-style lynchings), the woke/anti-woke duality of the new Mario movie, 'The Bodyguard' fans having absolutely no chill (or professional vocal training), and Domino's latest pizza-related tech gimmick!

03:14
salty liquorice? Your bush is amused when you have that
03:17
s it's like the it's like the savory version of
03:21
liquorice pretty much. So it tastes like meat. Yeah, it
03:25
tastes like a nice steak. You see cheddar and onion.
03:30
The one that I had had with salty one side,
03:32
sweet on the other. Yeah, they'll have a liquorice steak
03:34
and sweeten you cut it with a forking knife. Say yeah,
03:39
I recently had a Suvite salty liquorice patty, fantastic bet.
03:44
It was great. Yeah, Carl, tell me about a moose
03:46
bush because before you're talking, You're like, I'm combining comedy,
03:49
food and wine, and I'm like, like dinner theater. Yeah,
03:53
I mean kind of. Actually, yeah, a lot like that.
03:56
It's a top up food and wine party that we
04:00
do at a Melody Wine Bar and virgil Villas Natural
04:02
Wine Bar, and uh, basically we have two different guest
04:06
chefs every show. We have different wines on special. Sometimes
04:10
we have a winemaker there and then uh, your your
04:13
ticket gets you the food, you buy wine from the bar.
04:16
Everybody gets drunk, and then we have like a you know,
04:19
a tight comedy show, tightest show in talent. It's an
04:21
hour long three comedians. You know you see these La
04:25
comedies shows, the Book and nine ten people. Nobody needs
04:28
that much comedy in my life. Comedy yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:32
No one needs, uh I say, no one needs over
04:35
ninety minutes of any content. Really, movies, comedy, like definitely
04:39
not stand up comedy. So yeah, we do a tight
04:41
one hour show to exactly. Then we have a DJ
04:46
we dance, we do the perne, which, if you don't know,
04:49
is a Spanish class drinking instrument where you pour wine
04:52
into your mouth from a great height like that thing.
04:55
Oh yeah, that features prominently into the entire show. So
05:01
what do people like just bib up or whatever before
05:03
they go best? You got a raw dogged baby. That's
05:06
what it's all about. The red wine splattering everywhere. We
05:10
don't use red if you're not actively if you're not
05:13
actively a Spaniard, I do not encourage peroning red wine.
05:17
You have to. That's high levels of You start with
05:20
white as someone who likes to, you know, sometimes have
05:23
a baja blast and I am willing to appropriate Spanish culture.
05:27
I feel like I'm ready for the just the rialha
05:30
down my gullet. Yeah, I would say perona baha blast
05:33
and see how that goes, and then you know they
05:36
move from there. Yeah yeah, start that shot before. So
05:40
that's I think I've shotgun them with miles of my house.
05:43
Didn't shot? I think I watched you do it, and
05:46
then I looked at her majesty, and she's like she's like,
05:48
she gave you a shake of the head down. The
05:53
divorce lawyer his send, I recently had a flaming hot
05:58
mountain dew. Actually yeah, and you know what, it wasn't
06:03
disgusting like I thought it was gonna be. Was not
06:05
hot at all, which was my right. I was like,
06:07
this should be a little bit spicy. I know it
06:09
has may whisper, the hint of like the spiciness of
06:14
ginger beer. I wanted to to scald my escophagus with
06:18
chemical burns. But right, right, yeah, well look, they can't
06:21
really do. Like did you hear about like how people
06:23
who are eating Chipotle now they're like the hot sauce
06:25
is way too hot. Now it got way hot, and
06:27
like people are fucking freaking out. We're also soft, and
06:32
I'm like, come on, but it turns out there like Chipotle,
06:35
it was like, I mean, we get it from the
06:36
same place as all the time, but then they suspect
06:38
it was a batch of like these chilies that they
06:40
got from India that maybe slightly hotter, and like, I forget,
06:44
we're a super producer. Victor sent me the article because
06:46
I love hearing about people who are like too spicy,
06:48
too spicy, and they're like it was just a little
06:50
couple skull vills above normal, right, whatever, Pepper's gonna be wildly.
06:55
You know, there's a spectrum. Sometimes you got alipano, You're like,
06:58
this is my old Sometimes you got a halpanio that
07:00
fucks your day up. Oh yeah, or even like a
07:02
shshido pepper. You you yeah, they will fucking they will
07:07
jump you in an alley. You didn't expect it. You
07:10
thought it was gonna be a nice little appetizer. It
07:16
guess what, motherfucker, this is a spicy one. All right, Carl,
07:21
We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
07:23
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
07:26
couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
07:28
Ted Cruise's prescription for fixing the school shooting problem in America.
07:34
Treat schools like banks. He said that a week ago,
07:38
and then there was a mass shooting in a bank.
07:41
So we'll talk about that in some new guns statistics. Uh,
07:45
we're gonna talk about this. Harvard alum McKenzie alum, who
07:51
is openly advocating for bringing back public lynchings in San Francisco,
07:56
but like doesn't seem to know that that's what she's
07:58
I don't know it. Shell Tandler on Twitter, go check
08:03
her out. We'll talk about her. We'll talk about how
08:06
the right is celebrating Super Mario for its anti wokeness
08:10
h and also blasting super Mario for its wokeness some
08:15
same film. Um, we'll talk about the Bodyguard musical causing
08:20
people to to sing along like, Wow, the show is happening.
08:23
Did you see that clip of the Reason Can't Stop?
08:27
And it like turned into a riot? You thought these
08:31
women were like like advocating for gun control. The way
08:34
they were fucking ripped out of their seats and like
08:37
taken out of the theater, it was something else. And
08:39
then we have some good news you. We don't always
08:41
just give outright good news here, but um, you can
08:44
now order Domino's Pizza Wild Driving. Finally, thank you you can.
08:53
Did you watch the promotional video? No, we're gonna have
08:56
to though before we talk about it. It's it's a
08:58
blast all that plenty more. But first, Carl, we do
09:02
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
09:05
search history? You know I've been doing a lot of
09:08
googling about like how hard it is actually to like
09:12
move into the woods, like off the grid, you know,
09:16
like what's actually involved in that? Because I think about that,
09:19
I feel like more and more of these days, with
09:21
increasing frequency, I'm like I should just like move into
09:24
the woods and just like never come back. You know. Yeah,
09:28
I think logistically it's kind of tough. It's like you're
09:30
gonna need a goat, You're gonna need some chicken. Yeah,
09:34
Like you're gonna need assive perimeter of some kind. Is
09:37
that what they tell you? Well, you didn't. You need
09:40
to raise your own food if you're off the grid.
09:42
So you know, I'm gonna eggs. Yeah, you can't be
09:46
You can't be doing car ordering of dominoes once you're
09:49
off the grid. Yeah, car play won't work in your
09:52
car you're off the grid. Yeah. And then you got
09:54
you probably have to form like a defensive perimeter of
09:57
some kind because they'll be raiders. This is someone, dude.
10:01
I just watched the third episode of Last of Us,
10:04
and this is exactly what Nick Offerman's character was going through,
10:08
and I was like, I've always been like, yeah, I
10:09
wonder what it would be like in watching him go
10:12
through it, like trying to do this shit solo. I
10:14
was like, oh, that's way too much work, bro, I'm
10:15
not gonna do animal husbandry and shit fucking I haven't
10:18
done that show, but I that appeals to me, And
10:20
you're right, I think the actual reality of it, You're like,
10:22
damn a lot of manual labor. You could watch that
10:25
episode actually in a vacuum because it's kind of like
10:27
just sort of specifically to this character within the show,
10:30
and it's just like all about this dude who's like
10:31
surviving the zombie apocalypse, who's like he's like a prepper,
10:35
and he's like, now's my time, and you're like it
10:37
looks I'm like, wow, you've got it all, but it
10:39
looks incredibly lonely. Yeah. Yeah, he probably had to act
10:43
so hard to make it look difficult for him, all right, right,
10:46
because yeah, he would be a breeze for him in
10:49
real life. Oh yeah, He's like, I could make all
10:51
of this out of wood, right, complex machines, out most
10:55
of the wooden tools I need. I made them in
10:57
my shop. I can actually do it without any nails.
10:59
I'm an expert in Japanese joinery. He was in the
11:04
studio the other day was yeah, have you heard his
11:08
real have you heard his real laugh? Ye? It's the
11:11
best bet shit ever. It's like when you when it happens,
11:15
it's such a treat. I remember interviewing him once and
11:18
he laughed for real and I was like, I was like, wait,
11:22
that's great, like like like he laughs like that like goofy. Yeah.
11:27
Like it's so differently because he'll be like yeah, And
11:32
I remember meeting a fan who got a you know,
11:35
Ron Swanson tattoo with me making a pizza. Like he's
11:41
a good heart. Oh yeah, totally totally, but it's just
11:45
a funny one. Outwardly, everyone just thinks of him as
11:47
being this such like superly stoic guy when he's like
11:50
a theater kid who loves carpentry and laughing. Yeah, that's
11:55
that's I went and saw when I was I think
11:59
it was like late teen, early twenties, I guess I
12:02
went to the Craig Kilborne show. He was having Clint
12:05
Eastwood on his show, and like he had this thing
12:08
throughout the early years of the Craig Kilborn Show where
12:12
like Clint Eastwood was this like masculinity, like badass, like
12:16
Icon and he like had him on and interviewed him,
12:18
and Clint Eastwood was just like, yeah, I'm like into
12:21
jazz and stuff, really like jazz and playing instruments, and
12:27
it was just like Craig Kilborne was so disappointed. It
12:30
was great. Oh there's somebody made a montage of him giggling. Yeah,
12:39
not Clint Eastwood, He's never giggled. Yeah, Okay, that was
12:49
a goolahn amazing what a charmer? Yeah? What is What's
13:04
something you think is overrated? Oh? Man? You know I've
13:08
been seeing them a lot in the news and maybe
13:11
more so recently, the robot dogs. M Like, I just
13:16
think making robots in general is overrated, and like why
13:21
do who is supporting the robot dogs? Like, I know
13:24
people like them, Like why are we doing? Oh yeah,
13:28
every time I pay this, I'm like, this is a
13:30
terrible idea. Well yeah, you a tilitarian. The family that
13:35
made that, and we'll be billionaires for five generations going forward.
13:39
I think are the the I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say,
13:43
designing robots that will eventually kill us very overrated. Yeah.
13:48
I don't know why we're putting resources towards this. I
13:50
mean I do know why. But you know what's so funny.
13:53
I feel like within two months, those like those fucking
13:56
like Boston Dynamics robots have gone on the fucking trash
14:00
because of what AI's been doing, where we're like, yeah, youah,
14:02
shut up your fucking weird robots something script. Yeah, why Yeah,
14:06
this guy's writing this, This fucking AI is writing a
14:09
Spentura four as a speck And it's fucking really good.
14:13
And it's good. It's actually better too. It nails it
14:17
without the transphobia of the first one. Yeah. I like
14:21
that they skipped a Spentura three. Yeah, the AI knew
14:25
that that wasn't necessary. You know, it's so weird. You
14:28
know the reason I even said for is because I
14:30
know somebody whose partner was like, was writing a spent
14:33
Tura three? Is this as a spec? And I remember
14:35
it's like this thing where alays be like, oh, that's
14:37
such a bummer, dude, Like I don't want to tell
14:40
You're like, I don't know, there might be a better
14:42
way to get your foot in the doors a writer
14:43
than writing a Spindura three on spec. But hey, you know,
14:49
part of me wants to see it. But you know
14:50
how like jaded people are in this industry too, Like
14:53
you hear an idea and you're like, ah, the era
14:54
of writing a really funny spec script to get in
14:57
is like that was like twelve years ago. But what
15:00
the Seinfeld nine to eleven specs that guy got? You
15:03
know Alex Sulkin right right Lea sulk who's now what
15:06
like a family guy writer? Yeah, yeah, I mean it
15:09
worked for him. Yeah, he's developing a bunch of robotic there.
15:13
It is acepen to reverse the robot dogs. Yeah, oh shit,
15:16
the protected the pets are being replaced with robot It
15:21
is perfect. There, it is. What is something you think
15:23
is underrated? Something that I did recently, for the first
15:26
time maybe ever in my adult life. I did not
15:31
look at my phone for an entire day. I didn't
15:34
even have it on for an entire day. Wow, I
15:37
feel like it's been I don't know if I've ever
15:39
actually done that completely, like fully committed to it. I
15:43
was backpacking in Joshua Tree and it was really more
15:46
like a day and a half actually, and I was like,
15:48
I'm just gonna turn off my phone and just fucking
15:51
rock with the natural world. Baby. There you go, and
15:54
uh you know what. It felt pretty good. It felt
15:57
pretty good. I'm no anxiety, you know, there was a
16:00
little bit of it, but I don't know. It was
16:03
actually really relaxing. I don't know, like oh yeah, like
16:06
like everyone, I'm always looking at my phone. It's always
16:08
on me, it's always in my hand. I think just
16:11
like not having that weight, that psychic weight was It
16:15
was refreshing. But of course I immediately was like, oh shit,
16:18
I gotta get on Instagram. And so would you do
16:20
like make eye contact with the people you were like
16:23
walking around with. I was by myself, so I was
16:25
on kind of like a solo like spirit quest in
16:27
the middle of de Yeah, did you take pictures of
16:30
everything you saw to prove that you were there? It's funny.
16:34
I was thinking that, and every time I saw something cool,
16:36
I was like, oh, I should turn on my phone
16:37
take a picture of that. And I was like, calm down,
16:39
calm down, you got this, easy, easy, easy. You don't
16:44
need to photograph everything. Look at it with your mind
16:46
and remember it with your brain. Be present and look
16:49
at it exactly. I was trying. I was trying. I
16:52
was trying hard, and you know, it was it was
16:54
pretty good. Yeah, oh man, I there's something like to
16:58
what you're getting at is like when you're able to
17:00
replace the feeling of like, you know, when you have
17:03
your phone, it's sort of there to be like, oh well,
17:05
if I fucking need to think about something, to do something,
17:07
I can always look at this. But when you can
17:09
replace that with like you know, being in nature or
17:11
like building someone or doing whatever, like playing music, that's
17:15
really like when you're like, oh, yeah, this is this
17:18
is living when you realize you don't when you feel
17:20
like I don't need to reach for that phone. Yeah. Also,
17:23
I think I remember about it. I don't know if
17:25
it's because of COVID or how how time has warped
17:27
because of COVID. I just feel like my memory in
17:30
recent years it's just like terrible, Like yeah, my brain,
17:32
I can't remember anything before COVID. Like someone's like, I
17:35
remember like this twenty eighteen. I'm like, no, absolutely, not
17:39
talking about anything before COVID. Anything during COVID. I'm like,
17:42
this is all missed. I still conflate the summer of
17:46
twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Oh yeah, I have
17:48
the hardest time differentiating between the two. Like and I'm
17:51
always like wait, oh no, right, right, right, I have
17:54
a vaccine that summer, right, And I'm like, I don't
17:56
know if I just put my brain into like cryo
17:59
freeze or something. It was a lost year. We were
18:01
like the lost generation World War one style. It's just
18:04
like what happened? What even happened? What even happened? Man?
18:08
And World War One was the time that there was
18:12
a similar pandemic that shut everything down A long hundred
18:16
years later. Fun tradition, the fun little tradition. We have
18:22
tradition like any other global pandemic that lacks you out
18:27
for two years of your life. I have been noticing
18:30
talking about the robot dog and getting technology out of
18:34
our lives. It seems like things are coming to a
18:37
head in the public consciousness with regards to AI and
18:40
just like freaking out about it. Like I've noticed, you know,
18:44
in the mainstream like Drudge for the past couple days,
18:48
the four like main headlines that are in red are
18:52
all about like everyone's freaking out about AI, Like industry
18:56
leaders are pulling the plug on AI, Like do we
19:00
have a good reason for that? Do we think that it?
19:03
Like for the people, the current power structure is just
19:06
like too destabilizing, is it? Because Acepentura for Pet Detective
19:11
Verse Prime Directive was so good. Yeah, Hollywood writers know
19:18
that they're shit out of luck. They're like pull the plug.
19:21
Oh yeah, writer strike is coming up. Yeah yeah, They're
19:23
like like this won't stand. Yeah. Uh Now, I mean
19:27
I think the one thing that like I got my
19:29
attention was when a lot of the like leaders in
19:32
AI like in the development of it that like pioneered
19:34
a lot of the stuff where like, yeah, you may
19:37
want to just we need we need to think about
19:40
how quickly this is developing before it has like general
19:43
intelligence and is able to teach itself like a human does.
19:46
And then you know, then they're like, think of just
19:48
how much better bought based propaganda is going to be,
19:52
and like it's like for purposes of like political messaging
19:56
or these other things that we're still not sure like
19:58
what it's going to do. That's what I'm oh, I
20:00
can see that, but right now I'm just like what
20:02
the fuck, Like it's passing this like it diagnosed a
20:06
one one hundred thousand medical condition. And then they're like
20:10
there's doctors being like it is pretty good at that.
20:13
It's just uh it's also kind of dumb too, but
20:15
it's just sort of I think remarkable, like the amount
20:18
of intelligence that's gonna just sort of bed readily available
20:21
to people. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I mean
20:23
that's why I'm like, I'm willing to be like, what's
20:26
how what's it gonna do? Because I can I see
20:29
that it can do a lot, But when will it
20:31
be sort of like applied in that way? We're like, Oh,
20:33
this is absolutely fucked up. Has there ever been in
20:36
the history of humanity a technological innovation where they were
20:41
just like, that's progress, but that's too much progress, and
20:44
we're just gonna like hold off for now. Like during
20:47
World War Two, like they blamed a lot of the
20:49
rise of fascism on the innovation of the loudspeaker. Yeah,
20:53
Like the guy who invented the loudspeaker like blamed himself
20:56
for the rise of Hitler. He was just so loud
20:59
you couldn't about and he couldn't stop all kinds of
21:02
crazy points, but you couldn't shut it out. Like I'm
21:05
just wondering, is like is there anything to be done
21:08
other than just like work really hard to figure out
21:11
how to use the AI to counter the propaganda that's
21:14
being general well more than that too, right, it's like
21:16
how much of it is done that It's we're actually
21:19
looking at a future where if we're gonna get this
21:21
kind of massive efficiency at this scale, like then what
21:24
does that say about human labor? And what are we
21:26
pivoting too? Because you can already see people beginning to
21:30
use it more and more. It's not quite getting to
21:32
the levels or like whole departments are being replaced, but
21:35
we see how capitalism works, like if they're like, oh yeah,
21:39
I can slash budgets because I know three people that
21:41
knows how you used chat GPT really well, that's where
21:44
I'm like, are we actually figuring out where this is headed?
21:46
And superproducer Brian is now just saying he's like, what
21:49
if if the AI is not aligned with human needs
21:52
to begin with, That's where a lot of problems can
21:54
begin to show themselves because it's you know, it's it's
21:58
going to be able to like learn things like a
22:00
human does. I think the scariest ramifications are gonna be
22:03
like in the world of these deep fakes, and like
22:06
you're kind of already seeing it. It's like once deep
22:08
fakes become you know, indistinguishable from reality, which is the
22:13
naked I mean where you like a post reality, post
22:16
truth world anyway, But like once deep fakes or to
22:20
the point where you can't really discern if it's you know,
22:23
generated or not, then it's like there's gonna be total
22:26
chaos at some point. Yeah. Maybe the first thing will
22:28
be like an AI version of like The War of
22:31
the World's radio play. Yeah, someone will release something to
22:34
the Internet that you know, looks real and there's no
22:37
way to tell it's not real, and think a long
22:39
time or like a few days will pass before enough people. Yeah,
22:43
it's not fucking roll my god, or political blackmail. You know,
22:46
there's lots of fun stuff you could use it for.
22:48
I was shocked that Trump didn't move quick enough to
22:51
just claim the access Hollywood take is ye know what
22:57
that is a point? Yeah I heard it though, was
23:01
He's gonna claim this is a deep fag Anyways, all right,
23:05
let's take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk
23:07
about gun control, and we're back. So, in response to
23:23
the recent Nashville school shooting, which was the big shooting
23:26
before the Louisville school shooting, Tag Cruise reintroduced his Securing
23:30
Our Schools Act, which we'll call for cops in schools,
23:35
which I'm assuming would be less fun than when Arnold
23:39
Schwarzenegger did it in the early nineties. Kindergarten cop. We
23:43
can only hope, we can only hope that's what it's like.
23:46
So that's best we've seen best case scenario. And imagine
23:52
him like an LA public school Kimball, like, oh my god,
24:00
when we're having a head asked but Ted Cruise. The
24:07
plan is basically to fix mass shootings not with gun
24:09
control laws, but with more guns and police. And he
24:12
used banks as an example of how we should be
24:15
treating kids, because what kid wouldn't want to go learn
24:19
to read and write in a bank vault like environment.
24:23
So obviously, since the next big mass shooting was in
24:27
a bank, everyone is publicly mocking Ted Cruise because just
24:33
literally ten days after, he was like, we just need
24:35
to be more like banks, everyone. But this is all
24:37
coming out at the same time as a report from
24:41
Hugh and the CDC that says the gun death among
24:46
US kids increased fifty percent between twenty nineteen and twenty
24:51
twenty one. This is like massive, like it's shot up.
24:56
And this is at a time when gun owner ship
25:00
and just the amount of guns in US homes shot up.
25:04
So gun deaths of all sorts are rising. Guns suicides
25:08
are way up because gun ownership is way up. And
25:11
you know, as I've talked about numbers of times like
25:14
guns cause suicides, like there's a one to one correlation between,
25:20
like you're more likely to have a suicide in your
25:23
house if you have a gun in your house. Like
25:25
this goes back to other like the British cold gas study,
25:29
which I'm mocked for bringing up all the time, means reduction,
25:34
means reduction exactly, and just taking the opportunity, Like suicides
25:38
oftentimes are crimes of passion and crimes of opportunity committed
25:44
against oneself. But it's also you know, there's also plenty
25:48
of evidence that that's true of homicides that like, you know,
25:51
the homicides that we see in TV shows that are
25:54
carefully plotted out the exception and usually it's somebody having
25:59
the worst day of their life and having access to
26:01
a gun. There's also a bunch of like really troubling
26:04
data that they are able to point at but not
26:07
actually report about gun injuries from emergency rooms because the
26:13
gun industry and gun lobbies have made it him pot
26:16
Like they only have this data going back to like
26:19
the late nineties because the gun industry has been making
26:23
it almost impossible for them to collect data on gun
26:27
injuries and gun deaths, you know, because they have massive
26:30
amounts of money and that's what makes things happen, as
26:34
whoever has the most money, and the gun industry has
26:37
way more money than the CDC. So we're working with
26:40
limited data sets still, but it's pretty clear cut gun
26:44
ownership causes gun death. It's really that simple. Gun ownership
26:48
went up because the gun industry is constantly marketing itself
26:55
to people and you know, making shitloads of money off
27:00
of selling guns to people. It's the Homer Simpson beer
27:03
quote guns the cause of and solution to all of
27:07
life's problems. And that's just kind of the loop we're in.
27:10
And there's also another poll or like study that came
27:13
out from the Kaiser Foundation that just talking about like
27:16
the effect on people that all this gun violence has had.
27:19
Like they talk about how one in five say they
27:20
have personally been threatened with a gun. Okay, like just
27:24
one in five, right, one third of black adults and
27:27
Hispanic adults, around thirty three percent say they worry either
27:30
every day or almost every other day or almost every
27:33
day about themselves or someone they love being a victim
27:35
of gun violence, compared to one in ten and white
27:38
adults because the other thing is too. This also disproportionately
27:40
affects communities of color, especially Black people, and one in
27:43
five Black adults and Hispanic adults feel like gun related crimes, deaths,
27:47
and injuries are a quote constant threat to their local community,
27:51
which and that is only around eight percent with white adults. Then,
27:54
when you talk about like the effects it has on
27:57
people's behaviors, right, eighty four percent of view of US
28:00
adults say they have taken at least one precaution to
28:02
protect themselves or their families from the possibility of gun violence,
28:06
including talking to their kids or family about gun safety
28:10
or purchasing a weapon other than a gun. About a
28:13
third thirty five percent of people said they've avoided large
28:17
crowds such as music festivals or crowded bars and clubs
28:20
to protect themselves or their families from the possibility of
28:22
gun violence. Three and ten have purchased a gun to
28:26
protect themselves or their family from the possibility of gun violence. Yeah,
28:30
which is the one part of this that people can
28:34
make money off of. And in America, that's the one
28:36
thing that gets emphasized and raised the surface and you know,
28:42
put on steroids. Is whatever, the thing that money money
28:45
can be made off of. And the purchase of guns
28:49
as the solution to fear of guns. It seems to
28:52
be the only option that people know of, that they're
28:58
aware of. That really seems because everything else you're just
29:01
told like, well, you can't take guns away from people
29:04
because everybody will just flip out. But other countries, it's
29:09
worked in other countries before. There's no reason like it.
29:13
It's going to take years and probably like massive changes,
29:17
but it's it's happened before, and I don't see why.
29:21
I know people who like grew up in the Midwest
29:23
and the South, they're like, yeah, nice, like that, that's
29:27
just you being ignorant. But I think everybody thought that
29:30
in those other countries, and then you know, there was
29:33
an event that was bad enough to change people's opinion.
29:37
So yeah, well, based on how we problem solve in
29:40
this country. Once these stats are like ninety nine percent
29:43
of people have been threatened with a gun. Maybe then
29:46
something will happen because right now, especially when you look
29:48
at the disparity between the threats of gun violence between
29:51
certain populations, and you know, if that only eight percent
29:54
are affected, but they're controlling, you know, eighty five percent
29:59
of the policy decision. Yeah, you understand why that, Like,
30:03
there's just a complete disconnect from what the actual you know,
30:06
threats to our safety are and their willingness to do it,
30:09
because yeah, it's such it's so fucking cowardly to not
30:11
even attempt to do something about it and just use
30:14
the argument like, well, what are you gonna do? You know,
30:16
I guess treated like a bank. Yeah, more guns, I
30:19
think is the everything that we just talked about. I
30:22
think the answer is more guns or a RoboCop type scenario.
30:25
I don't know, ask chat GPT what it thinks. Yeah, exactly,
30:28
get get the AI in here. I'm a huge John
30:32
Wick fan, but I have to take this opportunity to
30:34
say that movies like the John Wick franchise they make
30:38
guns look a little too cool. Yeah, gun food. You
30:43
know what I mean, I got a new term for it. Yeah.
30:45
I like how they're like, but here's a thing, man,
30:47
we don't use like blanks like on our sets. We
30:49
don't even have to do that. I think is like
30:51
the way they're they're They're like, we're a little bit
30:53
more forward thinking for a film that is a ton
30:56
of gun playing it right, put those in a post,
30:59
you know what I mean? All Right? And we have
31:01
this Harvard McKenzie alum in San Francisco, who I think
31:05
is part of another trend we're seeing, which is, oh yeah, wealthy,
31:10
seemingly well intentioned upper class people showing their true colors
31:16
and being insulated enough to be like what what I'm
31:20
I'm just saying the clan was onto something. I didn't
31:24
use the words clan, But come on, why am I
31:27
being what? Now I'm being lynched just because I said
31:30
we should bring back lynchings. So yeah, this week's winner
31:34
is Michelle Tandler, which sounds like a bizarro version of
31:37
Michelle Tanner, like in Full House, if she grew up
31:40
in another dimension and became this person, but she's currently
31:44
living in Hell aka San Francisco in her mind, and
31:48
she decided that Easter Sunday would be a great opportunity
31:51
for her to go into full clan mode. She tweeted
31:53
this our society seems to have become seriously complacent. One
31:57
hundred years ago, in San Francisco, people were publicly hung
32:00
for their crimes, often by vigilante groups that wanted to
32:03
send a message. The hangings worked. Crime would plummet after
32:07
a few of them, often for many months at a time.
32:11
A few questions on my mind this morning. What changed
32:13
that the men of San Francisco went from creating vigilante
32:17
groups to being afraid to even tweet about crime? And
32:20
what would happen if a few meth dealers were publicly hung. Well,
32:24
that's an interesting idea, Michelle Handler. Hangings work. The hangings work.
32:30
Say what you will, Say what you will? They work.
32:33
I'm just saying I'm going off of just very anecdotal
32:36
evidence because I'm reading the book Barbary Coast about the
32:39
fucking gold Rush era in San Francisco, and I'm leaving
32:42
out the context that these vigilante groups. Again we hate adjectives,
32:47
don't we, or we hate to be specific. You're talking
32:49
about the Ku Klux Klan, and they rise to prominence
32:52
in the Bay Area during this time and this is
32:55
like in the beginning of the century, and so she
32:58
like wanted to clear the fuck record, and she's like,
33:01
I only brought it up because I read a book
33:03
about stuff like lynchings and things and it worked in there,
33:06
so I thought maybe it would be applicable here. Okay,
33:09
she's what the fuck? Sorry? And again you're still not convinced,
33:13
because this is the wild thing. She kept doubling down,
33:16
especially when other people were like, this is like, this
33:18
is a disgusting take. Also like what are you even saying?
33:21
Like and pointing out all the like the logical fallacies
33:23
and what she's talking about. She goes down and say, quote,
33:26
imagine this scenario. It's twelve thirty am and your dog
33:29
woke you up because it needs to go to the bathroom.
33:31
You walk outside and sleepily shuffle down the street and
33:33
your slippers. Suddenly you spot a man half naked with
33:37
a comfort or draped over him stumbling out of the
33:40
park toward you. What do you do? People's answer to
33:46
that is going, what do I do? I don't know,
33:50
I don't know. I think my first lives. There needs
33:52
to be more public housing and programs for people that
33:55
didn't go to Harvard. Yeah, you know, yeah, you shouldn't
33:58
bring back public executetions for Harvard and mckinski alarms. Yes,
34:04
you see that motherfucker like Republican donor who they just
34:09
renamed Harvard like school of Science after this motherfucker. Evil guys.
34:15
That's like a top activity. They're all named after evil guys.
34:20
It's just we have to keep doing it. It It would
34:22
be weird if we use the good guy. And but
34:26
that was like so wild, right, is like she assumes
34:29
most people's first thought would be that, oh, yeah, this
34:32
destitute person needs to get murk. Yeah, yeah, like or
34:35
what or I don't know what? I don't that that's
34:38
the example that she what's the proposy? Like what what?
34:41
What conclusion are we supposed to go? Like what do
34:43
I do? I don't know. I mean like if you're fearful,
34:45
then go back inside or something. But your local vigilante
34:49
leader he'll deal with it. Call your local grand wizard
34:53
and he'll wizard him away with his KKK powers, you
34:57
know what I mean? Oh, or called lynching. So I
35:00
don't know, like so like she again, she goes on
35:03
and on. She then she went it's like, oh wow,
35:04
I didn't realize my tweet would get such a great
35:07
such a stir check out my podcast. Yeah, no, guess
35:11
what that's like. Her company is like some kind of
35:13
like leadership at audio something, or rather it is. But yeah,
35:18
she kept bringing up the hard left, and I guess
35:20
she didn't realize that she was basically reading from the
35:22
same script as other violent racists have in the past
35:25
about like a call to arms. She'd be like, I mean,
35:26
how long are we going to let these freed black
35:28
people just run amuck in our town? And then you
35:32
get blinch mobs and shit, someone's got to do something right.
35:35
And it's like it's just again, we've got another fed
35:38
up person that thinks like the difficult discussion because she
35:41
brings up She's like, people just don't want they'd rather
35:43
virtual signal than have this difficult discussion. Like, so this
35:46
difficult discussion in trying to solve a drug epidemic and
35:48
the unhoused crisis, m is like about determining whether or
35:53
not they have the right to live. Right, this is
35:55
the McKenzie mindset. This is what they're changing one hundred.
35:58
Distill it down to a spreadsheet and figure out like, well,
36:01
I'm looking at data lynch mobs worked in the past.
36:03
Maybe that I'm looking at some graphs here and uh
36:07
and I'm like yeah, and you're merely just pointing out
36:09
a sequence of events. You're not necessarily being like, Yep,
36:12
that's causation, and it's all there, we got it all.
36:16
And again it's like with the way these people think,
36:18
we see it across the board when it comes to
36:20
like these kinds of issues that are about, you know,
36:22
having some empathy and also recognizing that maybe you have
36:26
resources that could be shared better if if you're like
36:29
hyper wealthy. And I don't know how wealthy this person is,
36:31
but it sounds like she's speaking for like the wanna
36:34
be billionaire millionaire set around her, Like it's just such
36:37
a zero sum game that like the thought of progressive
36:40
taxes is so scary that the alternative is to debate
36:44
not whether or not they should be giving more, but
36:46
whether or not these are humans. They're like, fuck that,
36:48
let's debate whether or not they should deserve to live.
36:51
I'm not here to talk about taxes, moving to figure
36:53
out if they're people. First of Yeah, Mackenzie, it's good group,
36:58
good good company, turning out top minds hitting you with
37:04
the lynch mob takes like come fuck, on. But here
37:08
we are. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
37:10
be right back. And we're back. And so the new
37:24
Super Mario Brothers bafo bo as we mentioned trending episode
37:28
a couple days ago, and people are up in arms
37:33
because it's anti woke oh or no. So so they're
37:38
celebrating because they like. Charlie Kirk says Mario Brothers just
37:42
grows three hundred and seventy seven million dollars, a new
37:44
record for animated features, despite John leg Wislamo boycotting the
37:48
film because it messed up the inclusion casting two white men. Uh,
37:52
that's a good Charlie Kirk voice. He does sound like
37:54
that Nintendo refused to let Mario Brothers go woke. I've
37:58
never heard him speak actually just and I assume he's
38:02
that most in his voice is so infuriating. He sounds
38:05
like a guy who you're like, oh, you're a coward.
38:08
Like I can hear it in the way you speak,
38:09
like you go ahead. I was doing soft Ben Shapiro there,
38:13
that was my he like, Charlie Kirk is just Ben
38:17
Shapiro with tiny little teeth. Charlie Kirk's more like he's
38:24
just waiting. No, no, no, no, we're not Stephen Crowder.
38:27
The anti woke Super Mario Brothers movie just set a
38:29
global record. They just like need a win. I guess
38:32
yeah what this is sad my favorite. This is so
38:36
Jack Posobiac tweeted. The original creator of Mario Miyamoto, was
38:42
heavily involved with the production of the animated film and
38:44
insisted that it have as little plot as possible and
38:47
just feel like one of the games. Okay, that's a
38:50
cool fact. And then he second paragraph it has no
38:53
woke narratives and all the characters are exactly like the
38:56
original game. So somehom not having a a narrative is
39:02
a anti woke decision. That is just so funny, Like,
39:05
clearly he's mis misinterpreting this quote where this guy she
39:09
give a Miamoto is like, I think it'll have the
39:12
most broad appeal if we get to the basics, which
39:15
is to make it feel like the video game and
39:17
not have a ton of plot that maybe people have
39:20
to follow. And I just like that. They take that
39:22
and go it's because he's anti woke. Come on, Miamoto,
39:25
bring it home. Um, this is all very funny because
39:28
coming into the movie, the big narrative was the Mario
39:32
movie was two woke because Princess Peach is a girl
39:36
boss who saves the day and the movie features Mario
39:39
Kart's Rainbow Road aka Pride Flag nonsense. Just when you
39:44
thought the culture war couldn't get any stupider, Yeah, yeah,
39:49
here we go, baby, they're on it. Yeah. The the
39:52
woman who I think it we're referencing this one woman
39:56
who was like on her live stream talking about how
39:58
like Princess Peaches causing like this, like you know, like
40:02
boss bitch stuff. It's like it's gonna get women killed.
40:06
They're gonna like into a cart of some kind and
40:09
they will be speeding off down a road that's suspended
40:13
in space somehow that's rainbow light. They're like, no, all
40:17
this like badass, bad bitch feminism. They're gonna start thinking,
40:20
like you know, if if shit goes down, they're gonna think, oh,
40:23
I can start fighting this guy, or I can handle
40:27
you'reng you better find a red one so it knows
40:30
it's seeking its enemy. I don't. I don't trust you
40:32
with a loose green shell, and I don't know if
40:34
your AIM's that good. But like that was like the whole.
40:37
Like one of the takes was just like, yeah, women
40:39
are gonna think that they are now John Wick, and
40:42
it's gonna get them killed. And this is the this
40:44
is the future liberals want, folks. Yea, they want to
40:46
kill women this way. Princess Peach, who is portrayed as
40:49
a fierce leader that can and will defend her kingdom,
40:52
next to her Summer saying that Mario, who seems to
40:55
be just a normal guy at the start of the movie,
40:57
is bumbling empathetic while Peach is a girl who saves
41:00
the day. That is something that like seemed evident from
41:03
the trailer is that Mario is pathetic and like kind
41:06
of they seem to be emphasizing that he was like
41:10
kind of a dipshit Mario, you know what I mean,
41:12
it's fun like that. I love that so that but yeah,
41:16
so I can see how if this movie had tanked,
41:18
they would have been all over the well, they just
41:21
want to ruin our family values by making a man
41:25
who gets beat up and a woman who's tough. Um,
41:28
but of course it went the other way, and they
41:30
need a win. They need a culture win bad. So
41:33
then are they now They're like, wait, it's gone woke now,
41:37
like they're like, just like the whiplash of the takes
41:40
now they're like, yeah, good for them, and they're like, wait,
41:43
has anyone come back around to be like, actually, it
41:45
turns out it is kind of woke, So never mind.
41:49
I think they're no, I think they're just they were
41:52
complaining it was woke before it came out and everyone
41:54
went to see it. But they are so desperate for
41:57
a pop culture line in after after Ben Shapiro released
42:02
his like three movies last year that made I think
42:05
they broke a record for the least money made by
42:09
like one of the movies that had um the Mma
42:13
Fighter who got canceled. Yeah, they like they released a
42:19
movie starring her and it made the least money that
42:23
a movie has ever made that was like like in
42:26
movie theaters. And so they are desperate for any sort
42:31
of cultural relevance, so they sit back, they wait to
42:35
see how a movie does, and then they grafted their
42:37
political opinions on the ones that do well. The Nintendo
42:40
guys should should just fuck with these guys and just
42:43
come out and just be like, totis trans I don't know,
42:45
I don't know what I'll tell you you didn't get
42:48
that from the movies. Yeah, trans you didn't know that.
42:50
Oh wow, okay, I thought you guys were supporting that.
42:52
Now she's polyamorous ethically but polyamorous, yes, obviously obviously, but
42:57
I guess. Yeah, it must be really hard to just
43:01
like think, just take L after L and like the
43:04
culture war that, like they really want to be like
43:06
they just they so badly want like they're I mean,
43:09
I don't know, fucking Avatar. You should be like Avatar
43:12
and then go back to those colonial narratives like don't
43:15
you like that? No, maybe not, I don't know. It's
43:18
about a guy who thinks he's he's trans species. It's
43:21
all fu like, oh fuck off, please, that's why it
43:25
was only the fourth biggest movie of all time. Jesus
43:30
and them that they can't sing at the Bodyguard musical, great,
43:36
this fucking rules. So there's a stage like you could
43:41
tell me there's a stage musical adaptation of any movie
43:44
and that it's good at this point, and I'm just like, yeah,
43:47
that that totally makes sense. So there there is one
43:49
for the Bodyguard. It's apparently very popular. Uh, it's making
43:55
the rounds in the UK at UK theater destinations and
43:59
people are having a hard time not singing over the actors.
44:04
Oh man, it's I didn't. This is so funny because
44:07
there's another like viral thing like that was on TikTok
44:10
recently about like people holding up signs at concerts and
44:13
just like the general like, what is etiquette anymore at
44:16
a show? Like can you unfurl a gigantic banner that
44:19
prevents people two rows behind you from singing the fucking stage?
44:22
Or can you scream at the top of your lungs
44:25
during a fucking musical because you want to? You think
44:29
you can sing Whitney Houston the people in the fucking
44:32
I think Peter should be more rowdy, So I'm actually
44:34
supported these people. I think people should be unfurling banners
44:38
at cats, Like get the fuck out of here, mister Mustopolis.
44:41
I want the crowd. I want the crowd rounding it
44:43
up for theater. You know, we're gonna like one that's
44:47
a sing along show for the professionally drunk. You know
44:53
Shakespeare shows. Everyone was drunk, Everyone was rowdy. The rich
44:56
guys were getting blow jobs up in the top things.
44:59
It was a aunchy it was real, baby, bring people
45:02
on the floor. Seats. They were doing their thing too. Yeah,
45:04
the Orange Girls were selling sacks. I mean it was
45:07
it was a sordid type of vibe. I say, bring
45:10
it back. Have you seen the Do you see the
45:12
clip though? That like, how like how much of a
45:15
fucking disruption this thing? I do want to feel like
45:20
it's been described as a mini riot. I personally like,
45:25
have you ever been at a concert and like been
45:28
singing along and people kind of tell you to shut
45:31
the fuck up? No? I mean it's been so loud
45:35
that like possibly sing I get in a theater. That's
45:39
different than being like an outdoor concert. Maybe they're just
45:42
getting swept away. In the Bodyguard narrative, you have to
45:45
let these people be transported. It's called the willing, especially
45:47
of disbelief. It's why we go to the theater. I got.
45:51
I got shamed at a Radiohead concert in my twenties
45:54
because like drunk at a Radiohead concert. What song? What song?
45:59
Let's hear it. I don't remember which song it was.
46:01
I just remember the person looking at me and just
46:04
like giving the most like some stage yeah, like stage
46:10
scoff not could you? Yeah? I believe they said something
46:15
directly to me couldn't couldn't help myself, that is. I
46:18
mean the one time I've a like shamed somebody during
46:22
like a performance was I was watching nine inch Nails
46:25
and this guy was juggling like led ball like light
46:29
up balls next to me. Yeah. I've mentioned this before,
46:32
like the for so long. Yeah, that's like you're flinging, drawing,
46:41
and I'm like, he's playing piggy right now. They don't
46:44
do this. Live that off and put your fucking poise down,
46:47
you fucking herb. This is a rave. It was, and
46:50
it was tight man, Like I wanted to get up close,
46:53
like I had never seen them, and I've always wanted
46:54
to see like, you know, nine inch nails, like you know,
46:56
my like nineties kid thing, and like so we're like
46:59
smushed up pretty close and this guy needs like elbow
47:02
room to juggle these balls. I got to see how
47:05
good he is a juggling. That's the main thing. That's
47:07
what it was. Kind of wild, like I'm not joking,
47:11
like this is what he looked like the whole show,
47:14
just watching the stage. He was just he was on
47:16
so many he try to see him and and to like,
47:19
you know, get up here, get up here, man, we're
47:24
about to do like a whole for something to add
47:28
to our show, and you got it. Man. What's your name?
47:31
My name's Brent. Hey, give it up for Brent, everybody. Yeah,
47:34
thank you so much. Man. I've been juggling for about
47:37
fifteen years. I'm really glad to be here. Yeah. There
47:42
is something with people who like get locked into juggling,
47:45
Like there's uh, when I used to run, there would
47:49
be people who like did entire marathons while juggling the
47:52
whole time for no real reason, like it's like knitting
47:57
or something. You know, it's just their minds. But I
48:01
think that is kind of like why, Like on some level, right,
48:04
I think that's why it's kind of relatable when people
48:06
do sing at concerts. But then like there's that fine
48:08
line between like this is so enjoyable for me and
48:11
like I just want to feel like I'm connecting with
48:13
like the music that I'm always just singing by myself
48:15
or whatever. And then there are the people who I
48:17
think are doing the thing. We're like, watch me fucking
48:20
crush this, and everyone around me is going to be like,
48:23
oh my god, you should actually be in the fucking play.
48:26
I mean when I was singing at the Radiohead concert.
48:28
I did have my back to the stage and I
48:30
was standing on the seats directly in front, projected really hard.
48:35
I gotta hit the back of the room stop yelling.
48:39
Is that I Will Always Love you so yeah, among others,
48:42
but that was where it hit a if you hear
48:45
that song when that fucking no kicks into overdrive, what
48:48
are you not gonna try? I mean, come on, I
48:51
don't know, and you're gonna try it? I would? I know,
48:55
I've look, I've done it many times since since time immemorial.
48:59
I've been singing that song. But part of me knows
49:01
I sing so like there's no way I could do
49:04
it justice that at that point it is more enjoyable
49:06
for me personally. It's more pleasurable to hear someone else
49:09
sing it and I'll mouth along, but I don't need
49:12
to be belting it out. That's that's my song in
49:15
your heart? All right? Well this is in the UK, right,
49:19
so that means everyone is hammered. We need get married. Yeah.
49:22
They have intermissions at with Jen Bars Theater, so you
49:26
go and get more drunk, get intermission. That song is
49:28
probably at the end. I don't know if the have anyone, no,
49:31
just just I want to see it. I saw a
49:37
glass menagerie in London and like it was the first
49:40
time I've seen like theater in like London, and I
49:42
was like, oh, this is cool. The amount of the
49:45
amount of gin that was being drank free show and
49:48
during the intermission, I was like, oh, I get why
49:51
people with the intermission is designed to get more drunk.
49:54
That all British shows have an intermission, Like British stand
49:57
up comedy shows have an intermission. Go re up, go
50:00
re up real quick, right, yeah, exactly, So we gotta
50:03
factor that into this. I think, are but are we
50:06
as this are as Americans? If we were getting fucking
50:09
shit hammered and then had this stuff go on, Like
50:13
I wonder how like how violent Americans? You'd be worried
50:17
someone would shoot you. You know, You're like, you know nothing,
50:20
nothing can stop a solo like a good guy with
50:24
the gun, you know, as we as we all know said.
50:27
Cruz has famously said, yeah, they don't have guns in England.
50:30
No one's gonna get shot in there over this just
50:32
really stern looks. It's wild though, that they brought the
50:35
house lights up like it was the mic, that's wild.
50:39
The actor playing Whitney Houston's role, they cut her, lights
50:43
came up, The people who were singing in the crowd
50:46
were thrown out of the show. Who comes out to
50:48
yell at you, like the director, like the stage manager
50:51
with the clipboard, who they say out there, please They
50:55
have signs up everywhere that's say, please refrain from singing
50:58
along at this theater because it's just such a problem.
51:02
Because that song is there's something about it that it
51:06
just brings out your inner Whitney. I like that. Though.
51:09
There used to be like riots, like in Turn of
51:11
the Centry, New York, there were these famous riots over
51:14
plays because one actor was cast over another actor. So
51:17
it was like back in the day, theater would inspire
51:19
these passions people riding over a play. It was like
51:21
a famous thing, like let's let's bring that back. Let's
51:24
let theater get people stirred up again, you know, right
51:27
right right. They used to riot over hats, Yeah, the
51:32
straw hat riots. Maybe we just need to be rioting more, like, look,
51:35
you they try to raise the retirement age one year,
51:38
the Frenches throw a flaming oil barrel through a cop car. Immediately,
51:42
we need to get that French mindset. Yeah, oh man, Yeah,
51:46
we're all too busy working. But maybe with the advent
51:49
of AI, yeah, maybe these robot dogs can you know,
51:52
light my workload a little bit. I can go throw
51:54
a brick at a play. Your robot dog can take
51:57
your actual dog for a walk at night, so you
51:59
don't have to worry about being frightened somebody. Yeah, right,
52:05
and the like. So that was clearly based on something
52:08
that happened to her. That was like the most terrifying thing.
52:11
That's robot dog advocate. She's like the dogs ro robot
52:19
dog for sure. Again, as long as I don't have
52:22
to deal with it, I don't want to have anything.
52:24
Look if I, if it's up to me, I would
52:25
get rid of them all. I think it's kind of
52:27
like how these people are thinking. And finally, uh, big news.
52:32
You can order Domino's pizza with a touch of a
52:35
button while speeding down the street in an suv. They're
52:39
introducing a new feature that will allow you to order
52:41
pizza via Apple's car play display, so you don't even
52:44
have to stop continuously burning fossil fuels while ordering greasy
52:50
slabs of bread and cheese. Great dough we love the
52:52
New Crust though, love I love the New Crust. Dude
52:55
on your phone while you're driving, Like, what are we
52:57
gaining here in functionality? Because too much of the distraction
53:04
but your computer screen up your car CarPlay is fucking dangerous. Yes,
53:10
of course, look and I'm not trying to look. We
53:12
put myself on blast. I'm way better at finding the
53:15
music I need to on Spotify on my phone. Yeah,
53:17
and I am on CarPlay and like I'm like, I'm
53:20
like looking at it while trying to Yeah, it's very
53:23
automatically takes over your thing and then you can't like
53:26
it's just a extra interface to get used to. Also,
53:31
that means the pizza tracker will come up on your
53:33
car computer through CarPlay, and you'll be too busy watching
53:37
the pizza tracker go. You'd be like, oh, he's making
53:39
it now, picking it up. You're gonna slamming something of you.
53:43
The tragedy would be that you have a terrible accident
53:46
with the delivery person pizza tracker on your car. They're like,
53:49
poor bastard, he's fan. You'll never get together the lex Pepperoni.
53:52
It's being delivered to his house right now. Seen in
53:55
a hundred times. Yeah. I mean people have expressed concern
53:58
about Apple's car displays because they have the potential to
54:01
distract drivers just as much as iPhones. One possible feature
54:05
reportedly involves carplay's display being projected onto the windshield itself. What,
54:13
Because the idea is, then you don't have to take
54:16
your eyes off the road. You can just be distracted
54:18
by the thing, but by your actual windshield. Yeah, just
54:24
the most shallow depth of field as you drive, You're like,
54:27
I'm only literally looking at what's on my windshield now.
54:30
I was an uber the other day and the guy
54:31
just put on a movie on the iPad that he
54:33
had right there, and I thought that was very bold. Well,
54:37
he was driving. While he was driving, he pulled off
54:39
and they just started the movie. It was die Hard too,
54:42
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna let
54:44
him rock. Yeah, let him cook? Did him cook? Let
54:47
him Cook's like, you like the deep cuts, huh? He's like, yeah,
54:52
all right, that dude with the icicle, come on, ye.
54:58
When the cops come for that, they're gonna be confused.
55:01
He's like handing this man, Carl, He's like handing you
55:03
popcorn in the backs of the high school part. Dude,
55:07
we did not talk. We did not talk. I just
55:10
like silently nodded. I was like, I'm gonna let this happen.
55:12
We'll see where this goes. I remember I put a
55:14
TV screen in my Honda Prelude when I was in college,
55:17
and like in the most brute forced way, because I
55:20
had been like pimp my ride, brained into being like,
55:23
you know what, my dusty Prelude just needs a seven
55:26
inch screen onto the DVD player, And though I'm not
55:30
I would watch on the only DVD I kept on.
55:32
There was like disc two of season two of Arrested Development,
55:36
and I was just watching Arrested Development like while driving,
55:39
and I was like, what's like I was picking up people,
55:41
was like a girl on a date and I was like, yeah,
55:43
that's right there. She's like she gets like, pretty good episode,
55:47
pretty good, and then she's like, it's hot in here.
55:49
I'm like, I can't actually access the air conditioning controlled
55:52
because the screen has been drilled onto that part of
55:54
the dashboard, So we're going to just have to roll
55:56
the windows. Damn mom. But guess what you can get
55:58
whatever you want a cheesecake. Fact. It is weird. The
56:00
promotional video will link off to on the footnotes. It
56:04
makes it seem like the So it's a father, a wife,
56:08
and the passenger and two daughters in the back and
56:11
they're waiting at a drive through and then they're like,
56:15
fuck this, let's order Dominoes. And the only way to
56:19
do that, of course, is through the card car Play
56:21
play right exactly. Stop waiting in line. It drive through
56:24
is just a place and order. Use the Dominoes app
56:27
on Apple car Play instead. Dominoes, Yes, and say goodbye
56:34
to the drive through with every tap okay, which we get?
56:38
Who kind of what's your pepperoni? Ah? Order carry out
56:45
on the go using the Dominoes app now on Apple
56:47
car Play. No different than your phone. I don't know
56:50
none at all, whatever, And like, if you're gonna be safe,
56:54
you're not driving and ordering the fucking thing, so use
56:57
your phone. There's a giant unforced error in the and
57:00
the they edit it to make it seem like the
57:02
driver is ordering it. Wild drive m edit to him
57:10
ordering like making the specific order on his car. You
57:14
were like, wait, what do you want? Showing like the
57:16
features of it, but I'm like, other, fuck are your
57:18
head is turned all the way around talking to your
57:20
kids back there and being like oh what no, okay, okay,
57:23
the fuck he's gonna kill that biker. His wife is
57:27
in the passenger seat the whole time, like it seems
57:30
like she should be able to yeah. Um, but and
57:34
he isn't an suv, so if he hit somebody hit
57:38
that biker that there'd be almost no chance of survival.
57:41
But and he's in the cop Ford Explorer. Too great
57:44
is the cop Explore? Yeah, White one of those guys
57:48
behind Come on man, all right, well, Carl, truly a pleasure,
57:54

58:52
allow Miles into the pot because it's mild? Yeah, because
58:57
he's a taste maker and an influencer, random guy off
59:00
the street. I'd be like, that's a hard note. I'm calling.
59:03
I'm calling, I'm robot dogs and all the vigilantes. Get
59:07
this guy out of here. I brought my own and
59:09
this is my date, Michelle Tandler. She's got a type
59:13
fifteen on the unhoused crisis. And we're allowed to do
59:16
the stand up too, right, Yeah, exactly. You start singing
59:19
during it. You can start singing. You're you're allowed to
59:21
start singing at my show. In fact, I encourage it.
59:23
Oh yeah great. Can they start doing their own comedy
59:26
while you're doing comedy? That's yeah. I start doing crowd
59:29
work to counter what's on that stage. Hey, so where
59:32
are you from? Man? The newest in heckling technology? You
59:39
start doing a different your work. Yeah, just within this
59:43
show and just yeah, like because you're like, watch, I'm
59:45
funnier than this. All right, I'm bringing the house flights up,
59:47
We've got the bar, or you do the thing where
59:50
you're like you're finishing punchlines like like how like sometimes
59:53
when people love rap, like you can kind of hear
59:54
a punchline coming, like in a rap verse where they're
59:56
like for a stand up like just beating him to
59:58
it to like, dude, what the fuck you're at the
1:00:00
Gym Gaffigan show just going pop tarts the second he
1:00:05
gets on stage. Is there a work of media you've
1:00:10
been enjoyed, you know, I've really been enjoying, um, the
1:00:17
simple pleasures in life, with that being Instagram videos where
1:00:21
cats are meowing super loud. It's like this whole genre
1:00:25
of like cats with like weird or like super voluminous meals.
1:00:31
And now most of my algorithm is that that. In
1:00:34
domesticated raccoons, I'm a big domesticated raccoon guy. Shouldn't be
1:00:38
illegal in California. We're gonna need a whole other show
1:00:40
to talk about that. Yeah, but a lot of good
1:00:43
domesticated raccoon contown Instagram and I'm loving every minute of it. Yeah,
1:00:47
I like there. I remember I was watching a guy
1:00:49
on YouTube who had like a fucking like ten of
1:00:52
these raccoons with come in his house. They just hands.
1:00:55
They can be like your little butler. They can bring
1:00:57
you stuff. They got hands. It's like having a dog
1:01:01
and a cat mix that has hands. I didn't put
1:01:03
them to work. Put them to work. I don't need
1:01:06
a robot dog. I just need eight beltrained raccoons for
1:01:09
my new complex out in the wood. Yeah, to fight
1:01:12
the Farrell hogs and to help me farm Miles. Where
