01:48
were doing the Fast Car sort of, you know, rewritings,
01:52
and yeah, the story about New York's rats are who
01:55
was apparently fucking up because people are getting sick with
01:59
I forget lepto perosis, I believe is like a bacterial
02:03
infection you can only get from interacting with ratpe. So
02:07
that's how bad things are there. It's really more again
02:10
like when you're saying, more a bummer story about New
02:12
York in general. But anyway, that's enough for me. I
02:15
am thrilled to be joined. Oh shit, I forgot even

02:41
shave on the pasta that we're talking about, like the
02:44
chocolates that have the shits inside that are the good ones.
02:47
I think that's what I always called the troubles the
02:48
good ones. Anyway, I'm thrilled to be joined by today's
02:52
guest co host, one of the most mysterious men in
02:55
podcasting and someone who deals with the dark arts of
02:58
Corvid training. Knows how to commune with crows. He's also
03:02

03:07
He's also got a pretty I guess marginal a sexy
03:11
microphone right now, but that's okay, but please welcome to
03:14
the microphone, mister Benbulla. Hey, hey, welcome back.
03:18
Speaker 4
Heah akas got ak Yeah, well I get it. I
03:23
could do aka, let's see in service to your great
03:27
tradition of naming the days, miles, it is also International
03:31
Scurvy Awareness Day, So doctor scurvy.
03:35
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, you weren't aware. You weren't aware them. May
03:38
second is scurvy Awareness Day.
03:40
Speaker 3
This is why we do it.
03:41
Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly. Holy shit, I'm sorry, is scurvy? I'm sorry?
03:45
Am I ignorant in thinking that like that shit's for
03:48
pirates and like people on ships or like that? Are
03:52
we still fucking like? I guess it's part of malnutrition.
03:56
Speaker 1
It's a common Uh, it's a common stereotype and misconception
03:59
that I am, my colleagues labor against.
04:01
Speaker 2
So we're raising awareness of it.
04:03
Speaker 1
Yes, please consume some citrus of your of your choice.
04:09
Speaker 2
I don't know how long. Isn't that we're like the
04:11
where they started they call people liamis yeah, as a
04:17
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think so, because when you were on like
04:20
we associate this with high racy, but we should associate
04:23
it also with just that age of a bunch of
04:26
people consentially or non consentually on boats in the neighbor
04:32
I appreciate it. Yes, yeah, oh god? And and what
04:36
they they eventually discovered without getting the whole story. You know, pirates,
04:41
especially even if they chose to be on the ship,
04:44
they're kind of living rough life. They're kind of always
04:47
on so h So it took a while to realize
04:51
the source of why they were getting cartoonishly loose teeth
04:55
and all these other scurvy things.
04:58
Speaker 2
Like you know how to lose xylophone? Like, yeah, exactly,
05:02
and now I'm realizing too. The nickname came from American
05:05
sailors who like didn't believe that taking like eating citrus
05:10
Speaker 1
Off screen, were anti vaxers for citrus.
05:15
Speaker 2
Fucking clowns, American sailors. Come on, man, anyway, Ben, We're
05:21
thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a
05:24
repeat guest. It's a very funny, very funny person, very
05:28
funny comedian hails from the Pittsburgh area. I was just
05:32
just celebrating a video that they did about I think.
05:34
I don't know if sorry if I completely misnamed the title,
05:37
but it felt like two guys from Pittsburgh talking about
05:39
seeing Oppenheimert basically yeah, yeah, and you can catch this
05:43
man May tenth at the Alameda Comedy Club. Shoutout arias
05:45
I gang, I'm looking at you. You better pull up. And also,
05:47
if you're in Saratoga Springs, New York, May thirty, first
05:50
you will be able to catch our guests. Joe Cuzolo, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.
05:56
Speaker 3
Hello Joe, Hey, it's me aka Vitamin C proficient.
06:03
Speaker 2
Oh there we go. I love man. I used to
06:07
drink so much orange juice, like as a kid. I
06:09
don't know why. I'm like, I don't know I had
06:12
that memory, but I just think of like that minute
06:14
made vitamin D enriched fucking orange juice that I would
06:20
Speaker 3
Yeah, And it is because well, I think especially, I
06:22
think there's something about like that era where we thought,
06:26
like orange juice. The commercials tell me it's the best
06:29
possible thing I can put my body. Yeah, now we're like,
06:33
it's the sugariest thing with nah almost no, Like the
06:37
nutritional value is completely canceled out by the Yeah.
06:40
Speaker 2
You will get survy from drinking yeah all the way
06:45
back around. Yeah, we should have.
06:47
Speaker 1
We should have known it was a grift when Sonny
06:49
D came out as like a hip competitor, right, is
06:55
Speaker 2
Have you had the fucking boozy sunny D that they sell. Now,
06:59
excuse me, I thought that was dude. No, they have
07:02
like a canned hard Seltzer sunny D. It's pretty I've
07:07
I had a sip. I was like, it actually pays
07:09
off on the promise, like it's boozy, bubbly sunny D
07:12
sonny D Vodka Seltzer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. The working
07:19
parents screwdriver, I think it's what we call that.
07:22
Speaker 3
And it's sunny D. It's not sunny delight for the
07:25
for the faga Seltzer. They go full sunny D mm hmmmmm,
07:29
which is smart. They respected, Yeah, that it's so funny.
07:32
I was in the same like that misconception about like,
07:35
well it's juice. It was like one hundred percent juice,
07:37
and like commercial was like the guy put a straw
07:40
in an orange, so it's basically like the inside of
07:42
an orange right in here.
07:43
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah, oh added sugar. What's that.
07:47
Speaker 3
Strong ad campaign? I recalled. They really were going for
07:50
it in terms of brainwashing the youth. Oh yeah, orange juice.
07:55
Speaker 2
I mean our parents too, Like my mom was like, yeah,
07:57
that's fine, it's not soda, right, I'm like, no, Mom,
07:59
it's minute he says, right there, there's hue, What the
08:02
fuck a thing? Just a little spicy exactly, then down
08:07
a half gallon while watching fucking South Park or some shit.
08:10
Speaker 1
Still not as creepy as the Got Milk commercials. Just
08:13
to be honest, you're looking back, I learned a lot well.
08:16
Speaker 2
I learned who Aaron Burr was because of those commercials.
08:18
Speaker 1
Short plication was creepy because it was a Trede association, right,
08:23
it wasn't a company.
08:25
Speaker 3
It probably it was the Dairy Farmers Association of America.
08:29
Speaker 1
It was just the idea of milk, Do you have it?
08:32
Or are you a loser?
08:33
Speaker 2
Got? Do you have this?
08:35
Speaker 2
No? Then you might be in a full body cast
08:37
having convulsions like what was that one? Oh? The guy
08:41
was in the full body cast and then they brought
08:43
like cookies, right, and he needed like milk and he
08:46
was like, dude, that one's actually pretty horrific.
08:50
Speaker 3
A lot of the milk ads I'm realizing are about
08:52
people and their failure to communicate. Right, it's the only
08:55
thing getting in a way of people in their milk. Yeah, truly,
08:59
it should just be got a therapist? Are you able
09:01
to voice their needs?
09:03
Speaker 2
Properly.
09:03
Speaker 3
Yeah, maybe got a clear passageway between your mouth and
09:07
people's ears, right, Yeah, but yeah, we had beef. It's
09:11
what's for dinner occasionally, you get you get those, right,
09:13
you get the Yeah, it's just from a product, it's
09:17
just from yeah a yeah.
09:19
Speaker 2
Like and it wasn't.
09:20
Speaker 1
Yeah, pork was like the other Yeah, I think had
09:27
Speaker 2
The fabric of our lives, Yeah, there it is there. Yeah,
09:31
we're a fabric of our undoing, potentially because we haven't
09:34
quite we quite haven't reconciled our differences with King Cotton heavily.
09:38
But anyway, that is enough of that. We got to
09:41
tell the people what we're going to be talking about today.
09:44
Looks like the Dems are pulling a bit of an
09:46
Avenger ship. They're coming out the portals to help poor
09:50
speaker Mike Johnson from being ousted. So we will talk
09:53
about why the Democrats are like, yeah, I guess we'll
09:55
fucking save mister Jesus jerk off app from completely screwing
10:00
up Congress. We'll get into those details. We're gonna talk
10:03
about the So basically, there was another full on clearing
10:08
of protesters at Columbia University for the second time, and
10:11
the NYPD is doing there doing what cops like to do,
10:15
which is be like and our violence was justified because
10:19
of this object we found or place.
10:21
Speaker 1
You could buy at any store.
10:23
Speaker 3
Hey, hey, buy any store.
10:27
Speaker 2
Hey, what do you some kind of frigging comy? Get
10:30
the fuck out of here?
10:31
Speaker 3
We go all some anarchy headquarters.
10:33
Speaker 2
This guy works for a big bike lock. You know,
10:37
look at this ship. If it wasn't dangerous, why would't
10:39
they call it kryptonite exactly? Because it's gonna it's it's
10:43
you could defeat Superman or maybe it's a brand name.
10:46
I don't know, but we'll talk about their latest push
10:49
to try and completely obscure and obfuscate around the student protests,
10:54
and then the we gotta talk. There's talk now about
10:57
how we might be saved from clim a change because
11:01
we're gonna do carbon capture. This is something that keeps
11:04
happening that most people know isn't really that effective.
11:08
Speaker 1
So the autonomist loves it.
11:10
Speaker 2
Oh yeah, of course anything that's like, well, don't turn
11:14
off that revenue stream? Is there? Can we invent a
11:16
fake solution? Was that called carbon sequestration?
11:19
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, we're doing that we're doing that. So we'll
11:22
get into that and many other fun things. But first
11:25
jokeaz alla Pittsburgh's very own. First of all, what's the
11:29
best thing to eat in Pittsburgh that isn't parogi or
11:33
Speaker 3
Uh catch up?
11:37
Speaker 3
The reason I say that is because there's a lot
11:39
of pride for Hines.
11:42
Speaker 3
I was famously bottled in Pittsburgh for a long time.
11:46
Heinz Field once was the name of the I don't
11:51
live there anymore, but I am positive whatever the Heinz
11:54
Field is called now, which was a recent change, and
11:56
they're not if it's acroshure or whatever like, they are
12:00
calling it hines Field till the end of time, until
12:02
it is rightfully re renamed Hinesfield. Sum, No, it's no
12:10
bad ye, but yet there's a lot of pride for
12:13
hines I even think they you can sell hines for
12:17
like a little bit more because they know pittsburghs are
12:20
going to buy it. And this might be that I
12:29
am taking it face value from my parents who switched
12:33
to Hunts, which was I was like, we got Hunts.
12:36
When I was back visiting, I was like, what are
12:37
you guys doing? They were like, here's the deal crisis here. Yeah,
12:41
they don't bottle it in Pittsburgh anymore, so you're not
12:44
supporting the local economy. And then two, they can sell
12:48
Hines more expensive in the stores because the brand loyalty
12:51
is so huge. So we were like, why are we
12:54
why we have any loyalty, it's not even a local
12:56
thing anymore. So on the Hunts train and I said, well,
13:00
it does taste exactly the same, So yeah, yeah.
13:04
Speaker 2
That's fucking wild. I mean, I'm I'm sure there's varying
13:08
levels of that wherever you go, where they're like what
13:10
the locals they fucking think this is like religious ship.
13:14
So yeah, charge of fifteen. It is weird, though. I
13:18
am pretty Heinz loyal too, Like I think just growing
13:21
up in diners and ship and like seeing that bottle
13:24
and like learning, yeah, this is it. There's only one ketchup.
13:31
Speaker 3
And they seem it's does seem like a classy brand,
13:35
like it never tried to change the design of the
13:39
regular Heinz bottle. I'm pretty sure they did get in
13:43
on the like purple ketchup. They did cranch, they didn't
13:49
mess with the design of just regular old ketchup.
13:53
Speaker 3
Yeah, they've definitely done some like Mayosterre Mustarday. Yeah, yeah exactly,
13:58
but the the bottle that you see at the restaurant
14:02
has pretty much looked the same, yeah for century.
14:06
Speaker 1
Yeah, and the balls of that ad campaign to where
14:08
they had you know, they had that meeting where they said,
14:11
people are explaining about how it's tough to get the
14:14
ketchup out of the bottle sometime, and then some guy went,
14:17
fuck it, let's make that a feature, you know what
14:19
I mean, just tell them they have to wait.
14:21
Speaker 2
Yeah, that was like exactly. I remember thinking like I
14:27
hacked the matrix when I would see adults chugling, like
14:28
you actually have to top to fifty seven, They're like,
14:30
shut up, ten year old.
14:33
Speaker 3
Let me tell you how it's done on the playground.
14:35
Speaker 1
Okay, Yeah, this guy was an old school diner veteran.
14:38
We were like a grizzled emperor of condiments and.
14:43
Speaker 2
I don't know, Hey, look man, they just they were
14:46
they were they were inviting dupars. That was like the
14:48
spot in LA and they fucking turned it into anyway
14:52
we can get into how our old haunts are used
14:54
to what they used to be. You know what I
14:56
mean all day here, but we got to get into
14:58
this question joke, Pazala, What is some from your search
15:00
history that's revealing about who you are or something you
15:03
recently screenshoted on your phone? Either?
15:06
Speaker 3
Oh interesting, well I the I looked at my Google
15:09
history and one of the most recent things I did
15:12
search was can you bring a plant back from the
15:16
Speaker 3
Man, Yeah, because my girlfriend was out of town for
15:19
the last month, and oh I was tasked with taking
15:25
care of many things, which I did, but there was
15:28
one plant in the corner that just was not part
15:31
of my routine. Yeah, you know, and I listen. I
15:34
kept her. I kept her sour dough starter alive. I
15:37
did that. That was did you ask? It involves scooping
15:42
flower into the discard. There's all sorts of steps. I
15:47
took a video of her explaining it to me and
15:49
then just like would play it and then just be like,
15:51
oh they smart. Scoop a starter, put it into a
15:53
new jar, put a flower into that jar, mix it up,
15:57
make have it on the scales. You know exactly how
15:59
my you're putting in there? Oh shit, like lid wait
16:03
and tilt. Is this like a like an heirloom starter
16:07
or just like just like a pandemic. This it was
16:10
before the pandemic, but it was not like from Grandpapa
16:13
right right right, just like.
16:15
Speaker 2
A smuggled across oceans.
16:17
Speaker 3
Yeah, but it has stayed alive for a good five
16:21
years at this point.
16:23
Speaker 3
I don't want to be the one. If I'm gonna
16:24
kill anything, it's gonna go to be the plant.
16:26
Speaker 2
I like that. Yeah, you're like putting yourself in like
16:28
that sitcom situation where it's like you lost the dog
16:31
and now you gotta find like a dog like looks
16:33
the same, hopefully get one over. And it's like drinking.
16:36
Speaker 3
I mean, what like is it are we Is it
16:39
fully fucking gone? Or you know, I don't think we're
16:42
fully gone. Okay, So I did learn a thing or two,
16:45
like if stuff, if leaves are particularly are like fully dead,
16:49
you chop those off. Yep, the plant isn't confused to
16:52
be like give them some water and then yeah, and
16:55
so I did. I got some water in there and
16:57
did see a little bit of a rejuvent structure. So
17:01
I was like, I think we're good. Some leaves are
17:03
definitely not looking so hot, but I think it was
17:07
the brink. We did not pass through the brink. So okay, good.
17:11
Speaker 1
Now your girlfriend may hear this show. Have you told her.
17:18
Speaker 3
This is Ai? This is all AI, so easy?
17:24
Speaker 2
Yeah, I love that one. Now, Joe, what is something
17:27
you think is under rated?
17:30
Speaker 3
I think we under rate the toll and task of
17:36
the food delivery driver. And I know there was some
17:40
discourse about this recently in food delivery in general online,
17:44
And I've always felt this way because I used to
17:46
drive for Postmates years ago, and I always felt like
17:51
the understanding that food delivery is an extreme luxury had
17:58
never really been fully understood by the consumer.
18:04
Speaker 3
Yeah, I just have memories of like picking up truly
18:10
like not no disrespect, but Panda express things of this nature,
18:15
driving to a disrespect to the.
18:19
Speaker 2
To the people over at Panda.
18:21
Speaker 3
But then going to like a terribly difficult area of
18:26
town to park, like if people know La, like a
18:29
place like Korea town, having to having no choice but
18:32
to park in front of a fire hydrant, in front
18:35
of a massive tower, going inside the tower, having to
18:39
check in with security, having to wait for them to
18:42
activate one of the elevators, which is always they Yeah,
18:46
it's always a thing and it takes a really long time,
18:47
and then you finally get in there, you go up
18:50
to whatever floor they're on, you get off, and then
18:53
you have to navigate the labyrinth that is the gigantic
18:58
apartment complex, go to the front door to deliver Panda
19:02
Express to their front door, and there is Listen, I
19:06
don't need a cheerful thank you necessarily. But then when
19:11
you go back in your car, see that you have
19:13
a ticket and this has taken twenty minutes off of
19:17
the clock and they did not tip you, and you
19:20
made three dollars. I think it needs to be hammered
19:23
home that if you're participating in this charade, if you're
19:28
participating this and this is so like extremely taxing and
19:34
stressful activity for the driver to understand what that's doing
19:37
and to tip them like essentially one hundred percent, Like
19:40
there is no I know a lot of people online
19:42
were like, well, what if you're neurodivergent and you have
19:45
to do this, And it's like, listen, that's not what
19:47
we're talking about, because I know mo majority yeah, like
19:51
if there's some sort of disability or whatever, that's a
19:54
different conversation. But I know that there's just a lot
19:56
of people who just feel entitled to get food delivered
20:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, and not.
20:01
Speaker 3
Have to pay for the fact that that is the
20:03
most luxurious thing.
20:05
Speaker 1
Yeah, Oh for sure.
20:06
Speaker 2
It is wild because people like well it said the
20:09
delivery few was like forty nine cents plus like those fees, Like,
20:11
I'm that's like, isn't that like you're pay It's like no, man,
20:14
that's they're getting a fraction.
20:16
Speaker 3
Of that, and they think about as do it exactly
20:19
like these apps are able to skirt minimum wage.
20:23
Speaker 2
Yah. Yeah, these aren't employees. These are independent contractors that
20:27
don't fuck. It's also brutal.
20:30
Speaker 1
Also, I just can't imagine the lack of awareness or
20:36
the evil balls it would take. I would be horrified
20:40
to not tip someone doing that knowing the knowing like
20:44
the way that kind of system has been constructed, Yeah,
20:49
to ship on the people working there.
20:51
Speaker 2
For sure. But I think that's it. That's like the
20:53
genius of so many of like these apps and things.
20:55
It's like they obscure the toll that it takes on
20:58
the human being for you to get your fucking, you know,
21:02
fucking cell phone case that you want it on Prime
21:04
they or you know, getting door dashed. It just feels like,
21:08
I don't know, I pressed a button and then like
21:09
because I put like, don't even talk to me, just
21:11
leave it at the door, and it just appears. And
21:13
I know, not of the person on the other side
21:15
who's like having to deal with the same fucking gas
21:18
prices that everyone else does and is getting Yeah an agree. Yeah.
21:23
Speaker 3
And if I can, uh, you know, proselytize a little bit,
21:27
I would advocate for meeting your driver maybe out on
21:31
the road. And if you don't want to do that,
21:33
and you live in an apartment building, at least in
21:36
Speaker 2
Walked out, just walk down. Yeah, make it.
21:38
Speaker 3
Easier for them so they also turn over, turnover, turn,
21:43
and it's it's good for you as well because you
21:47
don't have to like wonder if they're going to be
21:49
able to find your door. Like, just make it easy
21:51
so that you get your food faster and then come
21:54
back up. The other thing I will say is, if
21:55
you're doing delivery food, really reconsider getting a drink or
22:01
a milkshake because those are very difficult to transport.
22:04
Speaker 3
I don't think people immediately consider that, but when you
22:08
have a bag of food you put in the passenger
22:10
seat or you put it on the floor. It's easy.
22:12
But if you have something you're juggling that could spill,
22:15
it's very difficult, not only to place in your car
22:19
as you're transporting it, but then as you're trying to
22:22
pick it up and then open your door and then
22:24
close the car door and then lock it and then
22:26
get to then open the door of the building. All
22:28
this stuff if you're juggling like a big frothy milkshake,
22:33
Speaker 2
Seventeen frappuccinos that you ordered, Yes, exactly, Yeah, there have
22:38
you seen. There's a subreddit called door dash Gremlin and
22:41
it's as people who like when they get the like
22:44
the food dropped off, like if they're verifying that it's
22:47
dropped off for the photo. It's people that have been
22:49
caught getting the bag from the door while the photo's
22:52
being taken, so like rather than like the photo of
22:55
like a bag by the door, it's like someone like
22:57
in just a T shirt like Winnie the Poo style,
22:59
like they're about like ah, and so people like when
23:03
they end up being a gremlin, they usually upload it
23:05
and it's always funny to see and like that. That's
23:08
when you can tell you're like, man, was it really?
23:11
Did you really have to get that delivery? But I
23:14
get it sometimes, but look, if you're gonna do it
23:16
at least fucking tip and cost is.
23:19
Speaker 3
Like that, acknowledge the way to do it a luxury?
23:21
Speaker 2
Yeah, in a in a fair equitable way. Uh. What's
23:24
something you think is overrated?
23:26
Speaker 3
And I'm gonna sound like such a little boy here, Okay,
23:29
making your bed? I do think making your bed is overrated, though,
23:34
I just don't kind of understand the weight that some
23:40
Speaker 1
Is it too like Sisphian for you, Like it's just
23:43
gonna be unmade again?
23:46
Speaker 3
Like no, it's not like people who happen to come
23:50
to my home are going to see it. Only I
23:53
and my girlfriend are going to see what our room
23:55
looks like, let alone the bed and then to just
23:59
like I I just don't fully get the point of
24:04
like I'll maybe just kind of like very loosely like
24:08
put things back in the direction that they need to go.
24:12
But in terms of like talking and making sure every
24:15
I'm not sure why that's so crucial to a lifestyle.
24:22
Speaker 2
I'm I'm guessing your girlfriend is pro bed making.
24:26
Speaker 3
Interesting, that's what an interesting concept.
24:30
Speaker 2
She she is or she aligned with you, Yeah, because
24:32
I'm I'm in a similar situation she is.
24:34
Speaker 3
And I will, you know, entertain this fancy grade.
24:44
Speaker 3
But I'm just kind of like I don't really.
24:47
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's like sloppy boy life, you know, like because
24:50
I'm the same way where it's like I don't know nobody,
24:53
like especially in college, I'm like, nobody's going to my
24:56
fucked up room, like and I'm already like and so
25:00
disillusioned by life, like that's the it's like so low
25:03
on my list, and yeah, like being married though I'm
25:07
also I'm with somebody who is probed for them, I
25:10
realized for them. It's like it's about a sense of order, right,
25:14
and I'm like system of a down like this order hard.
25:18
Like I'm like I don't give a fuck. I'm like
25:20
this is not chaos to me. But that's where I
25:22
begin to reckon sound like I get that certain things
25:25
that I do you don't like, or you do that
25:27
you do I don't like. But that's where we meet
25:29
and I'm like, fine, I'll make the bed, but the
25:31
throw pillows we can't have seventeen thousand fucking but there's
25:34
no point. It was a purely decorative. There's decorative they
25:37
don't have functionally go on the fucking ground all the time.
25:40
Speaker 1
And you're saying we can't even throw them, you know
25:43
Speaker 2
The fuck is the point. The fuck is the point.
25:45
Speaker 1
So I'm with you, guys. I'm also very impressed they
25:48
regularly sleep in beds. I'm a bit feral in that respect.
25:52
Speaker 2
Uh like a fucking hit man, like in a fucking
25:56
bark a lounger with sunglasses on it. More like.
25:59
Speaker 1
I was more like, I'm so this may be a
26:02
childish thing. I'm so opposed to sleep that sometimes I'm
26:06
just like, go to bed, I end up where I
26:09
end up, you know what, the couch, who knows. And
26:12
then I'll come to and my girlfriend is like, wonderful woman.
26:18
Terrible tasting dudes obviously, but she's she's like, I'll come
26:22
to and she's rapping me by my arm pits. It's
26:25
I'm like, She's like, maybe I can carry them to
26:29
Speaker 2
I'm like, god, I Bernie lomax on him like that.
26:33
Speaker 1
I was like, you don't have the upper arm strength
26:36
for this, you don't have the.
26:37
Speaker 2
Don't and don't bother I'm a lost cause, like you
26:40
can't like and this is so such a valiant effort
26:42
on your part, But I am a waist.
26:45
Speaker 3
Kind very fine to be like. I will delicately just
26:50
kind of like slap you the chest and be like
26:52
the fuck out of here.
26:53
Speaker 1
And I'm not intoxicated or on any kind of drugs.
26:57
It's just the sleep got me. Uh. And I got
27:01
to tell you now that, Joe, now you're saying this,
27:03
I realized that I've just always assumed whenever I'm at
27:08
anybody's house and I see the bed is made, I've
27:11
always assumed they faked it or they did it special
27:15
Speaker 2
Wow, real drug addict thinking here, it's like you don't
27:18
have your shit together this much piece of ship. You're
27:21
just like me. Yeah, just like me another stairs. Yeah,
27:27
I mean, look, that's what I'm saying. Like I get,
27:29
it's a personal thing, like I people who want it made.
27:32
I get it, Like I get I get if you're
27:34
a person who needs things to be a certain way
27:37
of force. That makes sense. I am personally just someone
27:40
who was I was born in the darkness, you know
27:43
what I mean. You merely play around in it, you know. Yeah,
27:47
Also it does also Pittsburgh reference there too. Yeah, when
27:50
Bane came out, that's right. Wow. Yeah, although that wasn't
27:54
Pittsburgh was It wasn't explicitly Pittsbur.
27:56
Speaker 3
I mean it was if you know, you know, I
27:59
mean already of the Pittsburgh Steelers were Yeah, yeah, when
28:03
the when the stadium collapsed.
28:04
Speaker 2
But nothing but timely references on this show. Remember Baine. Anyway,
28:10
I don't make my bed and I stick. All right,
28:14
let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we're
28:16
gonna talk about this news. And we're back, so let's
28:31
just check in with the House of Representatives. I mean,
28:33
we we used to do that more, but because it's
28:36
just a fucking inert clown show, there's not much to
28:39
talk about unless you just want to be frustrated even
28:41
more with the state of our government. But for the
28:44
last month or so, Marjorie Taylor Green, you know, major
28:47
league tainted gang Green is out here, has been freaking
28:50
out about Speaker of the House Mike Johnson ever since
28:54
he went against her dear Putin and helped secure funding
28:58
for Ukraine. That was like the thing, like they were
29:00
trying so hard to prevent like this Ukraine funding and
29:03
then it happened. She's like out, it's over this guy.
29:05
This guy's done. We got to get him out of here.
29:07
And this has been a theme like with the last
29:09
like five GOP speakers. They've had to constantly manage like
29:13
the wacky bullshit demands or not really managing them, just
29:16
caving to the wacky bullshit demands that come from the
29:19
far extreme right. And I mean, I have no sympathy
29:23
for them, but this is the fucking bed that they've made.
29:27
So oh yeah, look it's all coming. We got Pittsburgh,
29:31
we got bed making, we got tarades. Look, it's all
29:34
out there for everybody. Those are the themes that are ongoing.
29:36
You get bonus points.
29:37
Speaker 3
And my girlfriend is Marjorie Taylor Green, so oh you
29:42
might see me on the news.
29:44
Speaker 2
Well yeah, being like I gotta tell you, I'm here
29:46
in New York and there's not like homeless people. Did
29:48
you see that clip where her boyfriend, that guy I
29:51
call him ass Size, His names like Brian, I don't
29:53
know what the fuck his name is, but he's like
29:55
on one of those hyper conservative news channels. He was
29:57
like in New York covering the Trump trial and he's like,
30:00
okay for Philadelphia. I gotta tell you, to be honest,
30:02
I'm looking around here in New York City. I thought
30:04
there'd be more like homeless people, like violent people, but
30:07
it's there's really not. It's not like that he was
30:09
having like a fucking crisis that things weren't like aligning.
30:12
Speaker 1
With his that that's the same thing those type of
30:16
dudes will say when they come to Atlanta. Oh you
30:19
know what I mean, Like I got I got out
30:21
of the you know, I got out of the airport. Yeah, no,
30:26
one tried to rob me once. And I'm like, are
30:29
you disappointed? Yeah, what are going on?
30:32
Speaker 2
Yeah? You wanted the adrenaline rush of being in a
30:36
flight or fight response to.
30:37
Speaker 1
They wanted the story for Facebook. They're probably all Facebook people.
30:42
Speaker 2
I mean, we still have the fucking like the politicians
30:45
are still insistent that we need more police dollars, even
30:47
though the FBI is like, yeah, crime is going down,
30:50
it's going I mean it's going down in the city there.
30:59
So anyway, your girlfriend has been really upset, Shoe, not
31:04
just with the lack of bed making, but just the
31:06
fact that this the fucking government is functioning, because that's
31:10
the thing. The sad thing is when we have these
31:13
ship bags, like, sorry, you're sorry to bring up your
31:16
girlfriend Marjorie at this point. If you mention her again,
31:18
don't feel like you need to preface it.
31:20
Speaker 1
Okay, all right, I'm sure though, I'm sure that you
31:23
have a beautiful relationship based on unrelated things.
31:26
Speaker 3
And that is incorrect.
31:27
Speaker 2
But okay, both being maga freaks, man.
31:31
Speaker 1
You're just you're at this point, you're staying together for
31:33
the starter for the sourdough starter.
31:36
Speaker 3
Yeah, for Marjorie's uh yeah patented starter, yeah Green sour Dough.
31:41
Speaker 2
But it's like, yeah, people like her and Matt Gates,
31:43
like when they're in the mix, it means things like
31:45
government shut downs and legislative grid luck are like the
31:48
norm and basically every day people suffer when like the
31:50
government can't even perform its basic functions. So Marjorie Taylor
31:54
Green thought she would have all these supporters to be like,
31:57
I think it's time to fucking oust this guy, Mike Johnson.
32:00
But she was sorely mistaken. There was like like Thomas
32:03
Massey was like the only other idiot to be like, yeah,
32:05
I think, yeah, yeah, I think this could be a movement.
32:08
But the thing is there are such slim margins for
32:10
Republicans in the House that like the Dems have basically
32:14
been like, huh, I think we can maybe wrangle this
32:17
fucker in Mike Johnson by saying we will protect him
32:21
from any attempt to oust him and like we'll give
32:24
him the votes to basically neutralize the threat of the
32:27
far right. So it's like kind of I don't know
32:29
if it's like win win, but basically for the Dems,
32:32
they're like, well, we can neutralize the far right and
32:35
also get a guy in that still does the bidding
32:39
of the military industrial complex. They get too Yeah, I
32:45
mean like you look at him, like Mike Johnson is
32:47
not someone that you're like, yeah, the guy has a
32:50
fucking spine. He's like a biggest the biggest cheerleader of
32:53
like the fucking big lie in January sixth, raw raw bullshit.
32:57
But from the calculus of the Democrats, based on what
32:59
they tell report, it's just like, yeah, the thing is
33:01
like we just think Marjorie Taylor Green is like fucking worse.
33:04
So that's kind of where we're at. And at least
33:07
this guy came around to again throw dollars at arms
33:11
manufacturers and that's the that's what the government's what this
33:14
Speaker 3
That's why we do it. That's why we do It's.
33:16
Speaker 1
Why we're out here, Yeah, making our beds.
33:19
Speaker 2
I get I get up every morning, I open my
33:22
Bible that was it's actually branded by North of Grumman
33:26
and Raytheon and read from it, and I realized, I
33:29
got work to do. I got to make sure that
33:31
the money flows in that direction, because these drones aren't
33:34
going to build themselves hooks. They're not. They're not.
33:36
Speaker 1
There's a there's a new drone that just dropped. It's
33:39
kind of based on a Manta ray design. It's for
33:44
Speaker 2
Really like under like an under like an a taxi drone.
33:49
Speaker 1
Yes, yeah, Like what what do you It's the question
33:52
I think all three of us have been asking for
33:54
a while, like what do you get the bond villain
33:56
who has everything? I'm a Manta drone, yes, yep.
34:01
Speaker 2
Next one shark drone. Yeah.
34:02
Speaker 3
I want to see more seacreature drones.
34:04
Speaker 2
Little shrimps yeah yeah, yeah, they're so tiny, like they're undetectable.
34:10
It's like, yeah, because little seahorses man, little pistol shrimps man,
34:14
pistol shrimps that actually shoot like rather than like that boom. Yeah,
34:19
fucking forty fives man fucking outfit them now north of Grummen.
34:24
Speaker 1
Now see now we're now we'd crowd sourcing for them. Yeah,
34:29
we're we're accidentally now we're in what is that rand?
34:34
Speaker 2
Exactly? The old Research and Development Corporation. Nothing weird, but whatever, Look,
34:41
colorad Us, we got we have ideas that are fun,
34:43
you know, and we're out in the box.
34:45
Speaker 3
You know.
34:45
Speaker 2
But doorry, there's still lethal. They're still fucking lethal. Yeah,
34:48
they're still fucking lethal.
34:50
Speaker 1
Also, I will say Johnson, Mike Johnson does sound I've
34:55
never met the guy, don't plan too, but does sound
34:58
very a I chat gpt his like his speeches. Yeah,
35:04
so I think he's just like he's a placeholder, right,
35:07
he's just there to play the game.
35:09
Speaker 2
Yeah he's Oh absolutely, I mean, like just he's just
35:13
he's a full on conservative creature who is just like
35:16
I just want to stay in office. But it was
35:18
it was interesting to see because there was so much
35:20
pressure from the like the far right to be like
35:22
don't give you grain money or like you know, trying
35:24
to paint it in like this America. First thing is
35:26
really just to be like, don't like help Russia maybe
35:29
or whatever. I don't know, do whatever you want. But
35:31
like the fact that he did that, I think is
35:34
what dems are like, Oh shit, interesting, he he still
35:37
knew that we still had to keep the dollars flowing
35:39
to the arms manufacturers.
35:40
Speaker 3
Okay, maybe we could work with this guy out of curiosity.
35:44
Have you guys ever met a Mike Johnson? I have, yeah, several,
35:49
because oh yeah, it's like one of the most common names, right,
35:52
common names, I would assume, Yeah, especially I think for
35:55
our general age bracket, Like.
35:57
Speaker 2
Yeah, I actually did the The or reason I remember
36:01
it is like I think I did a meet and
36:02
greet with the Olympic four hundred meter champion Michael twice.
36:07
Speaker 3
Right, that had been the most famous Michael Johnes.
36:10
Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly, sprinter Michael Jackson. Michael Johnson is so pissed
36:14
now about this Mike Johnson. I knew it.
36:16
Speaker 3
Kevin McCarthy too, Oh shit, So let's keep a streak going. Yeah,
36:20
and I just hung out with John Bayner, former Speaker
36:23
Speaker 2
John Bayner. He's into weed now, dude, He's kind of chill.
36:27
He's kind of chill. He's trying to figure out how
36:28
to get more weed into Ohio. All right, let's move
36:31
on to the New York Police Department. So they raided
36:36
Columbia University Tuesday night, which was even more brutal and
36:39
even more brutal raid than the one before, where even
36:42
the NYPD was like you want these kids are all
36:45
like sitting down in like tense, like what do you
36:47
want us to do? Like beat the shit out of
36:48
them for like what? Okay? And now they will reportedly
36:53
be staying on campus until at least May seventeenth, because yeah,
36:57
why not pay sixty grand a year to live in
36:58
a fully literarized police state slash campus. But the thing
37:04
that's happening right now is like this clear out that happened.
37:06
There are students that barricaded themselves in Hamilton Hall. If
37:09
you recall the two episodes ago, we spoke with our
37:12
former producer Tricia, who is actually a student at Columbia
37:15
and was telling us like what's happening there, And it's
37:18
a lot different than the news would have you think,
37:19
where they're like it's just crazy shit all the time.
37:22
It's like they're students that are peacefully protesting. You guys
37:25
are covering what's happening on the outside of the campus,
37:28
which are not the student protests. Those are just other
37:30
fucking randos that are doing their thing. But the now,
37:34
the big reason why Eric Adams has being like the
37:36
New York PD is justified is because the protest was
37:40
not actually composed of Columbia students, even though they were
37:44
not letting people on campus that without a Columbia ID.
37:48
These are rather quote, and we love this fucking explanation
37:51
all the time with protests outside agitators and that conspiracy
37:57
theory has been fucking flying around and all in the
38:00
media sphere for a while now. But like he's using
38:03
this as a rationalization. During a press conference, he said, quote,
38:06
these are professionals that were here, and I just want
38:09
to send a clear message out that there are people
38:12
who are harmful and who are trying to radicalize our
38:15
children and we cannot ignore this. So he brought the
38:19
Speaker 1
Oh, which is nice side agitators, Yeah, you love to
38:24
Speaker 2
It's always easy to say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
38:26
like it. Whether it's the easiest thing to discredit anything,
38:29
it's that sound edit like that that wasn't the real thing.
38:31
Speaker 1
Or they're so bad because of it. Yeah, I say
38:34
we lean into it. You guys, the next time you're
38:37
just having a small disagreement with your friends or you're
38:40
like in a restaurant, just go fight, go hog wild
38:43
and then say that outside agitators.
38:46
Speaker 2
Why or like if someone has an opinion like on
38:49
a like a disagreement you're having, like another person, like,
38:51
hold on, we don't need outside agitators right now. Man,
38:54
excuse me, this guy is an agent provocateur or hindes.
38:59
Speaker 1
I am not having it? Yeah, what do you fucking spook?
39:01
Speaker 2
Dude? What the fuck? Where are you at?
39:04
Speaker 3
If you test positive for COVID, you can just be like, no, no, no,
39:07
it's just outside agitators. Yeah, in my system right now.
39:10
So you actually, I wouldn't worry about it, and you
39:11
should let me come.
39:13
Speaker 1
That's really I'm kind of a hero, so I should
39:16
get to board the plate.
39:17
Speaker 2
Aaron Rodgers will be saying this. Probably soon someone is
39:20
gonna like, I'm not it's an outside agitation. That's probably
39:23
what's uh what's showing up on that test? But yeah,
39:26
so the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner Terry Sheppard made a promotional
39:31
stop on MSNBC's Morning Joe to show off the fucking
39:35
evidence that basically said, this is proof that there's outside agitators.
39:42
Did you arrest someone and they were forty five years old,
39:45
had nothing to do with the school and were a
39:47
criminal and like they were the ones like fucking orchesdra
39:49
and everything. No, he held up a fucking kryptonite bike
39:53
lock and was like, here it is, folks, the smoking
39:57
lock that proves that it's outside agitators. It's like, come on,
40:01
y'all had the NYPD. I thought y'all were good at
40:03
like planting shit like on people like, yeah.
40:06
Speaker 3
This is real, this.
40:07
Speaker 1
Is Slopoh okay, where are tax dollars going?
40:10
Speaker 2
I know? Yeah, like you guys aren't. You guys are
40:12
even slipping at your basic function, which is to like
40:16
just completely terrorize people and and obscure the actions of
40:19
innocent people to make them seem like bad people. So
40:22
he showed off it's like this heavy chain with the bikelock,
40:25
and if you've seen a fucking like full on kryptonite
40:28
bikelock underneath like that black like nylon wrapping, it's a
40:31
fucking industrial chain. That's why they're like, nobody's fucking cutting
40:35
through this without making a scene. And this is what
40:37
the Deputy Commissier said, quote, this is not what students
40:40
bring to school, Okay, this is what professionals bring to
40:43
campuses and universities. And you're like, a, well, what do
40:48
you mean this picture of the lock. It's like he
40:51
keeps like bringing it up during the discussion, and I mean, like,
40:54
look at this there. It's just like this, this fucking luck.
40:57
And sure, let's put aside the fact at fucking anyone
41:01
in New York City with money can buy a fucking
41:04
chain at a fucking hardware store. This fucking specific chain itself,
41:09
this which is just a fucking bikelock. It's the chain
41:11
that goes on a bike lock. It's a bikelock that
41:14
was literally promoted by Columbia University's Public safety department to
41:19
their students' like you go, hey, man, you need these
41:23
locks to keep your fucking bike safe on campus. This
41:26
literal kryptonite lock that the fucking cops like. And here
41:29
it is man outside agitators and by outside I mean
41:33
students at this universe.
41:35
Speaker 3
As inside as you can get.
41:37
Speaker 1
Yeah, you know what I mean, they're sleeper agents.
41:41
Speaker 2
Who it's it's also it's on the fucking website still,
41:47
like it's not even like wild. This isn't even some
41:50
like way back machine shit, Like if you just go
41:52
to Columbia University, they're like, hey, discount like bike locker
41:55
and laptop lock program, get it at a deal. So yeah,
41:59
those might be there since the fucking university's selling them.
42:03
Speaker 3
But I'm sure I'm sure Morning Joe caught onto it immediately.
42:07
Speaker 2
The journals of course, gotcha.
42:11
Speaker 1
Yeah, journalists.
42:12
Speaker 2
Instead you had Mika being like, oh my gosh, it
42:15
was so harrowing what these she said. Mika Razinski, the
42:19
co host, was like, I just want to, you know,
42:21
thank the officers for containing the situation. And then she
42:24
fucking previously she compared images from these campus protests to
42:28
the January sixth riot.
42:31
Speaker 3
People are doing that. They notice that online. A lot
42:34
of the right wing people are like, oh, so you
42:36
you hate January sixth, and yet look at what they're
42:39
doing at Columbia and this is kay, this is okay
42:43
Speaker 2
The same thing they had with like the Black Lives
42:44
Matter protests in twenty twenty. Also, it's always just like, oh,
42:47
but you're okay with this kind it's like these people
42:49
are walking around and then the cops just started busting
42:51
fucking heads in, and then the Capitol they're like taking
42:54
they're flicking it up, taking selfies with rioters. Very different vibes, oh,
42:58
very different vibes. And yeah, it's also funny too because
43:02
NBC themselves they've even promoted this fucking bike clock. If
43:06
you go on NBC News, they have a thing it's
43:07
like our favorite bike locks that'll keep your bike safe.
43:10
And that fucking kryptonite lock is on there too. So
43:13
it's just a bunch of disingenuous bullshit all around. And yeah,
43:17
there was a guy like so a journalist pressed the
43:21
deputy commissioner to be like, hey, man, like here's saying,
43:25
hey here, here's like this law. It's actually a bike
43:28
lock that the students have, and he could not process it,
43:30
so he just like kind of like ignored her while
43:33
she was bringing this up. This is an interaction between
43:35
Katie Honan as a journalist and the deputy police commissioner
43:40
who is basically keep has the fucking chain in hand
43:43
still to be like no, no, this is a fucking
43:45
chain like this, this is a chain that he's completely
43:48
ignoring the fact that she's like, this is available to students.
43:53
Speaker 1
Change is this the same thing?
43:58
Speaker 2
Why would why would this thing? Why was this brought here?
44:03
Because these are the locks that we cut off for
44:05
Speaker 3
In Hamlet where any outside agitators arrested at Columbia's Hamilton Hall.
44:09
Speaker 2
I think, I think wanted to address that all no, no,
44:12
they didn't, Yeah, no they didn't, and that, and then
44:16
he came back and said, he's like, well, there were,
44:19
but we can't really give you information yet because we
44:21
have to talk to Columbia. But just so you know,
44:24
I'm not I can't even actually give you the criteria
44:26
for what an outside agitator is. But from my perspective,
44:29
I believe the outside agitator someone who goes from the
44:32
outside to the inside. So they were outside the building,
44:36
and then they went inside the building and barricaded themselves,
44:39
so they might be outside like I don't know, they
44:41
there's no there's no fucking detail here, so it's all
44:44
fucking whatever. Just what I was actually got a joke
44:47
about that. Now I'm kind of uncomfortable. I'm sorry. Sorry, man.
44:53
My drive, my dead pan delivery is so fucking on
44:55
point and It's also we live in a health scape
44:57
where that kind of bullshit is believable, unfortunately.
45:00
Speaker 3
I mean, yeah, speaking of bedpan, this this reminded me
45:03
of like spinal tap, Like this one goes through eleven,
45:06
like the very same vibes of like this is a change, Yeah,
45:09
this is a chain. You can buy this, yeah, industrial
45:14
this is industrial change.
45:15
Speaker 3
But isn't this the same one? Couldn't.
45:20
Speaker 2
Couldn't someone else's buy that at the campus?
45:22
Speaker 1
But I believe they covered that already.
45:24
Speaker 3
This one's a chance. But but it goes up.
45:27
Speaker 2
Couldn't someone just add another notch and say theirs goes
45:30
up to them? Get him out of here, Get him
45:33
out of here, Get him out of here. Outside agitator,
45:35
outside agitator, Get them out. They're asking questions, they're they're
45:40
bringing up truths in front of us, while we're trying
45:42
to discredit a mass student movement that's a peaceful one. Anyway,
45:45
gotta go, all right, let's take a quick break, we'll
45:48
come back. We'll talk about another charade if you will,
45:52
carbon capture, and we're back. So it's the year of
46:06
our Lord Joe Biden twenty twenty four, and we have
46:09
artificial intelligence that can make tupac. You know, we enter
46:12
a rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. You can go to
46:15
space if you're not an astronaut. Drones or delivering pizzas
46:19
or deadly munitions up to you. But the best way
46:22
of letting everybody in your neighborhood know that you're ordering pizza,
46:25
obviously is using drones. But we have all these advancements,
46:29
but we're still burning coal for fucking power, like it's
46:34
the goddamn turn of the century. And you know, there
46:37
was an interval. There was environmental news this week where
46:40
the G seven announced a collective plan to quote phase
46:43
out coal fired power plants by the mid twenty thirties,
46:46
and people are like, oh, okay, can we do that sooner?
46:51
And while you know, coal isn't that popular anymore, but
46:53
it's still widely used. It's and it's not the only
46:56
contributor to our fucking carbon emissions. Is the absolute like
47:01
most fucked up. It puts out the most carbon dix
47:04
at per unit of energy. It's like the word yeah,
47:06
it's it's thank you, dirty, dirty coal. But then it
47:10
comes this announcement is just like, oh great, what's the deal?
47:13
So like they're going to be gone by the mid
47:14
twenty thirties. We're ending the use of what we call
47:19
unabated coal, which means what you can keep your plants
47:24
burning coal as long as quote carbon pollution is captured
47:29
before entering the atmosphere. Hell yeah, I love a grift.
47:33
Speaker 1
Let's get it.
47:33
Speaker 2
Let's get it, a drift capture? What does that even mean?
47:36
Exactly right, because there's there's similar regulations in the like
47:40
the latest that came out of the EPA that Joe
47:42
Biden is, you know, obviously Joe Biden's EPA, but these
47:45
were announced last week and would force plants to capture
47:47
ninety percent of their carbon emissions if they want to
47:49
quote stay open beyond twenty thirty nine. What what that
47:54
Biden will be ninety seven years old and potentially a
47:56
T one thousand at that point. And again when John
48:00
Kerry in twenty twenty one was like, no, man, we're
48:02
gonna be We're gonna be off coal by twenty thirty
48:05
and now we're like, if you want to keep your
48:07
coal past twenty thirty nine, put like a condom on
48:10
the smoke stack and everything will be okay. But again,
48:14
this plant is basically suggesting that coal plants can keep
48:17
going as long as they use carbon capture. And it's
48:21
just like there's no one thing that's carbon capture. It's
48:24
like an umbrella term, you know what I mean. It's
48:25
like a it's a collection of technologies that can take
48:29
out CO two from the atmosphere and store it. But again,
48:32
like you're saying, there's a number of issues with capturing
48:35
it and how it works. Like there's one currently right,
48:38
CO two is being transported via pipelines, which are very dangerous.
48:42
In twenty twenty at COE two pipeline ruptured in Mississippi
48:45
and at least forty five people ended up in a hospital. Okay,
48:48
that doesn't sound like maybe we get that one off
48:50
Speaker 3
But pipelines are usually so good. Yeah, yeah, usually you're
48:53
so popular. Yeah, exactly like the other. The other thing too,
48:57
is they're saying like, oh, maybe we should clear cup
48:58
parts of our national forest. That's another thing that's been
49:01
fucking proposed to be, Like, well, we could just do
49:05
it through the forest. It's like, but we would need
49:07
to clear a lot of trees to be it's using it.
49:10
Speaker 2
Yeah, right, yeah, a little bit dude. Birds can find
49:16
another tree trees at home exactly.
49:18
Speaker 1
Well, fixed that we'll fix by going to private industry
49:22
with bird condos, right.
49:24
Speaker 2
Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, black gets into it. They're like, yeah, man,
49:27
kind of bird nests. People are buying up fucking distressed
49:31
bird nests and ship.
49:34
Speaker 1
I don't understand. Okay, So where maybe I'm missing something here?
49:39
I get that it's the the bad junk is going
49:44
through the pipeline, but what is the destination point?
49:47
Speaker 2
Where is it?
49:49
Speaker 3
You know, it's it's just leaves, it leaps, it goes away.
49:53
Speaker 2
What's the prime righting outside agitator? Man?
49:56
Speaker 1
Right, I'm being a dick, no further questions.
49:59
Speaker 2
And also we don't ask why there's literally no federal
50:02
oversight body for carbon dioxide pipeline projects. That's the other
50:06
struck red. Yeah, there's no federal overside for this shit.
50:09
So basically you're being like, yeah, man, we trust you
50:11
to fuck the earth even further, and like, yeah, to
50:14
your point, like what do you do with it? Right?
50:16
Some things are being stored, right, then there are other
50:19
ones are like, well, we can actually use it for
50:21
other stuff, Like for example, the carbon dioxide used to
50:24
be like carbonate of beverage, well, that goes back into
50:27
the atmosphere the second you open that fucking can, so
50:29
you're not quite doing away with that carbon dioxide, even
50:32
if you gave it another use or like dry ice.
50:35
As the dry ice melts, it just returns into the
50:38
air in the form of carbon dioxide. But and then
50:41
they also like, well, we can use it to extract
50:43
like well, like oil from older oil wells. But people
50:47
are like, what the fuck are you talking? Like, we're
50:49
gonna let them fuck the earth, and then the emissions
50:52
that they use can be used to procure even more
50:55
fucking fox so fuel, Like, none of it fucking makes sense,
50:58
and they're trying right now. Oil companies are trying to
51:01
spin this whole thing. Is like, it's sort of like
51:03
what we call net zero oil. Oh great, yeah, exactly,
51:08
it's net zero. The only net zero I respect came
51:10
in a free CD boot disc to get fucking Internet,
51:14
you know what I mean? Not this bullshit anyway, that's
51:17
a washing millennial reference for people. So the other thing
51:20
is like they say, well it could be recycled into fuel,
51:22
it's too expensive and it's not efficient, So then that
51:25
basically leaves us with burying it underground. And that's where
51:29
the forests come in. They're like, okay, man, we use
51:32
the pipelines to fucking hill, Like take the fucking car
51:36
CO two and put it under the fucking forest, which
51:39
is just adding insult the injury.
51:42
Speaker 3
So we're going to carbonate, carbonate the forest.
51:44
Speaker 1
I like his spicy forest. Let's try it.
51:46
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a carbonata if you will. And then
51:50
there's like the question of how like effective carbon capture
51:53
really is, because that's the thing that is always the
51:55
second that these like energy companies and coal mining company
52:00
and fossil fuel producing companies have said. They're like, well,
52:02
there's carbon sequestration. That's why you don't we can keep
52:05
business as usual because we will capture it and then
52:08
we will fucking do something with it that eventually lets
52:12
it go back into the atmosphere. Like a recent study
52:16
that found that in industrial plants, like one of these
52:18
industrial plants that was like we have a great carbon
52:20
capture system, it was only able to reduce the plant's
52:22
emissions by ten to eleven percent, so not quite the
52:27
eighty to ninety percent. And yeah, like the administration is
52:30
currently fundeling billions of dollars into the technology and it's
52:34
which is fucking wild because even though it's like some
52:38
of these like sequestration programs are being operated by the
52:42
fossil fuel companies. So there's a government funded project in
52:47
Texas that is being run by a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum,
52:51
which is like you get stabbed by a mugger and
52:54
then the mugger puts on like a fake mustache in
52:57
doctor's coat and he's like, hey man, you want to
52:58
pay seventy bucks for a bandaid? And you're like, aren't
53:00
you the fucking guy? Just what the fuck is this?
53:04
Speaker 1
Well, you see, it's oversimplified to say that knives and
53:08
muggings are the problem.
53:09
Speaker 2
Oh okay, yeah, we need bigger band aids big and
53:16
the knives aren't as dangerous. It really into something we
53:19
call blood capture.
53:20
Speaker 1
We're also definitely not vampires.
53:23
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's just a very very wild thing because you know,
53:27
a lot of especially climate scientists, are like, it doesn't
53:30
doesn't make sense if you're still burning it just to
53:33
capture it, and the technology isn't good enough, like you're
53:38
you're functionally doing like fuck all. Like it's not a
53:41
get out of jail free card because it still has
53:43
impacts on the climate, So just keep an eye out
53:46
when people are trying to tell you that this may
53:48
be the answer when really, like, obviously the big thing,
53:51
especially in America is we just don't have a modernized
53:54
electrical grid. So there are a lot of opportunities for
53:58
like massive solar projects like in the Southwest that could
54:02
fucking easily handle the energy needs of like a whole region,
54:06
but because we don't have an efficient way to transport
54:09
the energy, like through a grid, a transmission grid. It's
54:12
just like that's the argument that people use, like to
54:14
fucking be like, ah, well, I don't know if we
54:17
Speaker 1
It's like yeah, but then take the amount of investment,
54:20
the sweet sweet investment dollars they're going to be put
54:22
into projects like this, which clearly, I would argue, hopefully
54:27
not sounding too cynical, I would argue, the end motivation
54:30
here is it so much taking care of the CEO
54:33
two as it is like continuing to pursue old profit
54:37
models while at the same time being able to get
54:39
behind a podium and say like we're very excited about
54:43
capturing all this carbon, you know.
54:45
Speaker 2
Of course, and then like people feel like, well they're
54:47
doing it sounds like they're doing something.
54:49
Speaker 3
No, they're capturing it. Yeah, they're capturing. Oh is the
54:53
carbon bad? They capture it. It's gonna be interesting because
54:56
I know that this is going to come up during
54:57
the debates. It sounds like the type of frame is
55:00
that you can hear saying, we're so used to be
55:04
sequestration and clean the things that clean coal. Yeah, because
55:08
that used to come up a lot. This feels like
55:09
the new clean coal. Yeah, absolutely, carbon carbon capture. Yeah,
55:14
things like we capture the carbon. Then no one will
55:18
ask him a follow up and they'll just be like.
55:20
Speaker 2
All right, yeah, we'll put the CO two in jail.
55:23
Speaker 1
You guys know about that, right, you guys saw Columbia, right,
55:27
imagine that with carbon.
55:29
Speaker 2
Yeah right, agitators exactly exactly. But yeah, it's this is
55:33
this will keep going round and round and who knows,
55:36
Like I mean, at that point, if if Biden and
55:37
Trump ever debate, they might both be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
55:40
carbon capture. We both agree on that, and it shows
55:42
you that the lobbyists did their job properly. Anyway. Joe Kuzala,
55:48
thank you so much for joining us today on the
55:50
Daily Zeitgeist. Man, where can people find you and follow
55:54

56:39
thank you. The best way to do it. It doesn't
56:42
involve ingesting poisons at all, exactly.
56:46
Speaker 3
That's one of my one of the main tenants of
56:50
Speaker 2
Like, don't ingest poisons.
56:52
Speaker 1
Free cup of orange juice with them.
56:54
Speaker 3
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.
56:55
Speaker 2
Orange juice is a health food, especially if it's made
56:58
by minute made and has a bunch of other added
57:00
to it. Ben, mister Bowlin, Oh shit, I forgot you
57:04
asked you, Joe, Is there a work of media, social
57:06
or otherwise that you've been enjoying you want to share?
57:08
Speaker 3
Yes, I mean I would imagine this maybe has come
57:12
up on the show before, but I really cannot stop
57:16
looking and talking about the Drew Carrey tweets about the
57:19
sphere or he went to see Fish. You know, Okay,
57:25
Speaker 1
To know what the spear is. I'm aware of Drew
57:27
Carrey and Drew Carey.
57:29
Speaker 3
Drew Carrey went to see Fish at the Sphere, and
57:32
I am going to read to you guys his series.
57:36
Just two tweets hashtag fish at the hashtag Sphere. I
57:40
swear I just talked to God. I would give you
57:42
all my money, stick my dick in a blender, and
57:45
swear off pussy for the rest of my life in
57:47
exchange for this, bro. I met God tonight, for real.
57:50
I feel like I just got saved by Jesus. No lie.
57:53
And then someone replied to that and they were like, yeah, Fish,
57:56
it's cool. And then he went this is where it
57:59
takes it to the to the moon. This is what
58:02
it must feel like to come with a pussy, because
58:04
if it's even close, I'm flying to wherever tomorrow and
58:07
getting the best pussy money can buy. I don't need
58:10
to be a man no more. If it means I
58:12
can feel like this all the time, fun, keep it bro.
58:16
If I can get this feeling instead, that was God
58:18
at work or something like it felt like I was
58:21
being saved by Jesus. No, lie, oh my oh god, Okay.
58:27
I think Drew's as good as anyone has.
58:29
Speaker 2
Yeah, but like in his own way where you're like, yeah,
58:33
it's like so, I'm like, I don't know if that's
58:35
a great endorsement or the most terrifying one I've ever heard.
58:39
Speaker 3
Holy shit, certainly intense.
58:43
Speaker 2
Yeah, and I love it.
58:45
Speaker 3
I just think also because you just think about who
58:47
Drew Carry is and how we first met Drew Carry
58:49
and how we still kind of know him as the
58:51
host of Price is Right, and like, you know, I'm
58:53
one of the big hosts for America, and that he's
58:57
going through the sphere and being like I need a
58:59
pussy because I need to get fucked like this uh
59:02
free thing. It's because of Fish at the sphere. I know, like,
59:06
was he he must have been fucked off his face? Man,
59:08
Like this feels like an acid uh oh yeah, you're
59:13
way ext to see. Maybe like maybe a whole cocktail
59:16
of hallucinogenics.
59:17
Speaker 2
But yeah, probably like some hippie flipping probably you know,
59:21
mixing you got it's probably M D M A with
59:23
some kind of uh psychedelic for sure. Could you imagine
59:27
if he's like a stone cold sober bro.
59:30
Speaker 1
I was thinking maybe he just really likes jam bands.
59:34
Speaker 2
I mean, I get people, I get that world, because
59:36
those people definitely do talk like that.
59:38
Speaker 3
But right I think you're if you do a drug
59:40
test at a fish show, it's gonna be hard to
59:43
find anybody. I think he was even a little bit sober.
59:45
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, just even from a contact you know, you're
59:48
getting contact acid highs.
59:51
Speaker 3
Like acid fumes or somehow. But I really like appreciate
59:56
the you just it feels like for a major media
1:00:00
you're like Drew Carrey, you don't see unfiltered, like non
1:00:03
pr combed over statements like this, Like you know, Drew
1:00:08
wrote this like this is that dude just not worrying
1:00:12
about the fact that he hosts prices right, that he
1:00:16
has all these you know, jobs, that he might be afraid.
1:00:19
He's just like, no, man, this is what I'm feeling,
1:00:21
and I'm gonna say it. It's the tweets are still up.
1:00:24
It wasn't like I'm not sure someone told him someone
1:00:26
on his team told him to take him down, and
1:00:28
he was like, no, who cares.
1:00:29
Speaker 2
He doubled down too when asked about it.
1:00:32
Speaker 1
Yeah, honestly, this is great for Prices, right, because I
1:00:35
can't remember the last time I thought about it as
1:00:37
a show, you know, so now, hell could you?
1:00:42
Speaker 2
He starts saying that shit on Prices right, He's like, folks,
1:00:44
I really got to tell you, man, I finally know
1:00:46
what it's like to come with a vagina. Okay. And
1:00:49
I said that because I know I'm on CBS. I'm
1:00:51
not going to say the word I wanted to. Okay.
1:00:53
I had a full on vaginal orgasm watching fish at
1:00:58

blowing smoke. It's weird because before we were going to
1:02:46

1:02:54
it to them. And Joe, you and I haven't met, right,

Speaker 3
Correct.
1:03:06
Speaker 1
I met you the first time doctor that on Miles,
1:03:12

1:03:15
actually sent it to some friends who live in Pittsburgh,
1:03:18
and I was because I've got friends in communism and uh,
1:03:22

Speaker 2
Yeah, four on two six eight life hack.
1:03:56
Speaker 1
You know, just whenever you're in those conversations, always append
1:04:00
to the clause from earlier when you introduce yourself, just like, hey,
1:04:04
it's me Ben from earlier. Nine out of ten times
1:04:07

1:04:08
don't want to feel like they forgot someone.
1:04:11
Speaker 2
Right wow, No, no, but thank you for thank you
1:04:16
for being here, Ben. It's always a pleasure. A tweet
1:04:19
I like, they're just the odd look, I'm look, I'm
1:04:22
a rap fan. And right now there's an ongoing beef
1:04:24
between a man from can Did you hear that, Kendrick? Yeah,
1:04:27
the Kendrick Lamar tracks pretty fucking bro. You got problems
1:04:32
with Drake because Kendrick Lamar is a better rapper than you.
1:04:35
Just you have to know that. But this tweet is
1:04:38
from another rapper that I like from Florida, Denzel Curry
1:04:42
at Denzel Curry tweeted Cole definitely knew what was going
1:04:45
to happen. That's a reference to j Cole when he
1:04:47
entered the beef and then pulled his dis track. He's like,
1:04:50
you know this is actually I like Kendrick and this.
1:04:55
I don't even believe what I'm just don't worry about.
1:04:58
I gotta go. I'm twoofy. He called his own track goofy. Yeah.
1:05:02
I mean if people gave him a bunch of shit
1:05:03
because it's like good hip hop. But I'm like whatever,
1:05:06
Like if if you're an artist and you're not, if
1:05:08
you can't stand by your art, I don't think I
1:05:11
don't see a problem with you being like, nah, that
1:05:12
wasn't fucking sincere liket like people fucking wanted like personally, like,
1:05:16
I don't care if Kendrick Lamar is saying that he's
1:05:19
bigger than me or whatever, like whatever. My my ego

is not that fragile, but anyway.
