the wedding and I almost died and during the horror

02:53

that's all right, Did y'all do the electra slide horror? No?

02:56

03:00

to back that ass up where a lot of elderly

03:01

people join, and I like the days flar was a

03:04

little bit small for electric slide. And then I had

03:06

a whole argument. I was like, I need to play

03:08

Outstanding by the Gap band right now. Yeah, And but

03:12

you know one of those things when you when you're

03:13

when you're like in charge of music, you gotta keep

03:16

the energy up throwing on Outstanding, Like at the as

03:19

the energy is going up, it can go one of

New York? Please can I can? I also just say

05:15

can I also just say? You know, look, I've been

05:17

on the Daily Side guy, it's more times than I

05:19

can count now as a guest Dana host Francesca was

05:22

the first person that jumped on't had the fire as background.

05:25

It was like, what color you won't what color you

05:27

want to see in this background? And she changed it up.

05:30

It's looking right. So I'm just saying for any future,

05:32

for the Jamie loftus is of the world, for all

05:34

the guests of the world that's coming on the Daily Side, guys,

05:38

get your background game up. Get your background game up.

05:41

Because Francesca shutting it down. The challenge has been issued.

05:44

Yeah yeah. Room Raiders only gave me a seven because

05:47

I had cord mismanagement in the back. So I'm really

05:49

trying to I'm trying to change. I did. I did,

05:55

And it wasn't my chords. It was Matt Leeb's like

05:59

PS five. Yes he did get his hands on one.

06:01

It was his stupid ass chort. So I was, hey,

06:05

what happened with the ring starting? Oh we got a

06:07

new ring? Yeah, we got a new RINGO, we got

06:10

a wedding date. Things are moving there. We never speak

06:13

of the other ring again. It's like, what happened you

06:16

lose it or someone well it should be lost. Well

06:21

I am again. I am going to drop it into

06:22

the ocean, like you know the old lady in Titanic.

06:26

It looks like that. It's basically hard at the sea level.

06:29

If anyone's grandma is looking for a nice piece, hit

06:33

us up at radio. I feel like it'd be a

06:36

really good, like se birthday gift for or eight or ninety. Honestly,

06:41

it might even be good to be buried in. So

06:45

I don't know. This sounded like the ring was like

06:47

that you didn't like the ring? Is that? That is

06:50

the story? And part was I think it was like

06:53

days after Matt proposed, he came on the show and

06:56

he talked. He said, you know, the proposal went well,

06:58

but the ring was such an like so embarrassed to

07:01

talk about it. And then Francesco, I think was the

07:03

guests the next day or the day like one day between,

07:07

and so we got it from both sides and you

07:09

were just just so long saga. But now I've got

07:11

my yes sustainably mind white sapphire. To avoid the diamond

07:16

industrial complex, I'm gonna have a whole grill made out

07:21

of lab grown diamonds. You know, Yeah, I love it.

07:24

I love hearing the take from them the diamond industry

07:27

being like these lab grown diamonds are like like not

07:30

even that good. They're like they're chemically the same fucking thing.

07:33

You're just masking. They're not ripping them out of the

07:35

earth like you'll do well. You know, I rip all

07:38

my diamonds out the earth because I'm a real one

07:41

joking just with your teeth, just with my teeth, you know,

07:43

I'm not with my hands when I'm looking for picking

07:47

up loose mushrooms that grow in the park and try

07:50

and see if and even get me even a little

07:52

bit sucked up. And of course by diamonds. I'm talking

07:54

about all my diamond albums, like you know my Diamond

07:57

certified albums, y'all. You know what's dope is if you

08:00

ever like edit a Wikipedia page, like if for your

08:03

own just add random ship, like you have the highest

08:06

selling album of all time. I think I'm gonna do

08:08

that on your Wikipedia page. You know I can't edit

08:11

my Wikipedia page. I don't think they women do that.

08:15

Oh okay, yeah, women are not allowed to edit their

08:18

own Wikipedia page. Was hysterical. No, yeah, there's something about

08:25

it where it's like, you're a public figure, you have

08:27

no say over your you can't verify. They're like, this

08:32

is wildly inaccurate. Okay, then, but before we get into

08:37

learning more about you, Francesca, let's talk a little bit

08:39

about what we are going to talk about. I'm gonna

08:41

check in with Kim Potter, the cop who killed Dante, right.

08:45

The sentencing outcome has has been released as over this recording,

08:49

and uh, we are shocked that the empathy went completely

08:53

in the wrong direction in this court case. Then we're

08:56

gonna talk about the Trump griff continuing. But now with

09:00

n f T S motherfucker's if you thought they were

09:03

lacking with their fucking scam game, well here they are

09:07

now they got n f t s you can buy

09:09

and they're totally full of ship. And then we're gonna

09:12

talk about Movie Pass. They're back and there. Their ideas

09:16

are creepier than ever. It's exactly what we'd like to see.

09:22

But before we talk about any of that, franchusica, what

09:25

is something from your search history that's revealing about who

09:28

you are? Okay? I was trying to do a bad tweet,

09:32

meaning like it's just a bad It's just it wasn't

09:34

a good, well crafted tweet, trying to look up the

09:37

top hunters and predators in the animal kingdom. But every

09:42

time you like use an animal reference in a tweet's

09:45

just born, like like a great Way shark or like

09:49

a wolf. It's always like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

09:52

And then there's like crocodile, and then there's like kimono

09:55

dragon or one of those which I didn't know. I

09:59

think so dragons kmo. Yeah, bite is like ridiculous, aren't

10:04

they like mouth so fucking dirty? Like your bite, You're

10:07

like wound will just like necrotize like one or something

10:11

like amodo dragon. That's crazy, that's they are. They're fucking stacked.

10:16

But here's The reason I was trying to do that

10:18

is because Axios released a really terrible article that was

10:22

like the Squad has their politics have backfired? And you

10:30

you read the article and it's like squad politics have

10:33

backfired according to top leading Democrats who hate the squad.

10:38

Like you can corporate democrats about how the squad is doing.

10:42

It is like asking a komodo dragon about how your

10:48

neck is doing as it bleeds out, trying to make it.

10:54

Trying to track this one. I'm trying to track it

10:56

with you, right, the kimono dragon? Do they bite your neck? No?

11:00

Oh I did a It's like it's like asking, as

11:03

I wrote, like elk strategy has failed according to you,

11:09

they're out to get them anyway, Why then are you

11:11

going to ask them how they're doing? And again get

11:14

you so fucking lazy. It's like wild how journalism is

11:18

completely just full, Like fully, you've couple gone into free

11:21

fall where you like you look at stuff, you're like this,

11:23

You're you're asking cops about crime like you're taking cops words,

11:28

they're just as the gospel truth based on what they

11:31

think about crime rates and things like that. Or you're

11:34

asking the corporate democrat take on the wing of the

11:37

party that's saying y'all not doing enough, You're fucking up.

11:40

This is how we lose the mid terms, Like, oh god,

11:43

the hate duration needs the wing of the party. They're

11:45

actively fundraising right now to tank straight up in the

11:49

mid terms. They're funneling money into some new corporate pack

11:54

that is going in deep blue districts. These are already

11:57

secure districts against anyone who's primary incumbents. So it's clear

12:03

if we lose in the mid terms, the Democrats lose.

12:06

It's not on progressives at all. It's on all the

12:09

fucking focus being on progressives when the real enemy, you know,

12:13

the real ones are the fascist But anyway, that's how

12:19

fascis on both sides of bile too, you know. And indeed,

12:21

sooner people come to that realization. Well, I don't know

12:24

what will happen, the commarialization, because at the end of

12:26

the day, I mean that that that sort of traditional

12:29

party powers is so entrenched it's hard to know how

12:32

it evolves past it without real massive you know, organization,

12:37

just regular people. But yeah, it is wild because that's

12:40

same it's the same tired as take of like well,

12:42

progressives motherfucker. The most popular ship that it pulls through

12:48

the roof with like both sides is progressive policies. But

12:52

if you just take out the language or whatever the

12:54

spin on how you want to present it, you really

12:57

have no one except yourself to play. So yeah, I

12:59

mean wild child poverty increases right now, it's like, oh, yeah,

13:02

because the child tax credits weren't extended. You dumb ships

13:06

can actually thank Biden for that one you know about

13:09

that or Joe Manchin depending if you just want to say,

13:11

it's actually just it's just actually this one guy exactly,

13:16

ones who don't give a shit about anything but staying

13:18

in office and making money, like yeah, and all these

13:24

and they actually the Access article talks to this guy,

13:26

Josh Gottheimer, and I believe he's a congress person and

13:30

he's not been in the news, meaning he's not a

13:33

mansion cinema character, but he's mansion a cinema. Are people

13:36

who are like running cover for people like Josh Goddheimer

13:38

who does not want let's say medicare to be able

13:42

to negotiate drug prices. Yeah, exactly. The most popular and

13:46

most no brain conservatives are on board with that. Yeah,

13:50

but and so Josh Godheimer is to the right of

13:53

a lot of conservatives, a lot of Republican Well yeah,

13:55

I mean he's that's that pharm of money, hey man,

13:58

wild what that money does to You're like, no, I'm

14:01

I'm merely just a physical carbon presence in the halls

14:04

of Congress that are just meant to keep the money

14:07

flowing in a certain direction. Don't mind me. Would you

14:10

like a cookie? Yeah? Oh yeah? But that mansion though, huh.

14:13

They're like, dude, I'm looking at the roll call, vote

14:16

on you striking? Never mind? Forget it? Enough politics up top? Yeah,

14:23

well look, politics all the time. But that's how it

14:25

is in this day and age. Francesca, what's something you

14:28

think that is overrated? Did I word that correctly? What's

14:31

something that's overrated? Maybe you guys have spoken about this character,

14:36

but jdaz On and just like that is overrated as hell.

14:44

I cannot even finish this most cursed reboot of Sex

14:49

in the City ever. J DS is a comedian. Supposedly

14:54

they go by the them Bronowns, which is dope. That's great.

14:57

I love all that I love that they're gay. I

14:59

love all the things. I just don't like the fact

15:02

that a boomer wrote this character like it was their

15:06

weird West World creation of what they think a young

15:10

person and a young queer person sounds and looks like

15:13

it is, like they're not funny. There's nothing more offensive

15:17

to comedians. And maybe it's just comics who are getting

15:19

upset about jadas, but then an unfunny comics. Yeah, but

15:24

like like you don't even have to include jokes and

15:26

a fact, don't even film them doing jokes. Yeah, just

15:31

cut to everyone laughs enough, but like, oh, the jokes

15:35

are so bad. I watched I don't I mean I

15:38

don't watch the reboot, but everybody kept talking about it online.

15:42

So like I found the clip of the special uh

15:46

in the reboot, and I'm thinking, like, it's just gonna

15:48

be like a couple of minutes. But they like made

15:50

it seem like it was like this is what the

15:52

special was, And I was like, there's no jokes in here. Hey,

15:57

tell my people you like the a lit hell? Yeah, Okay,

16:05

it really was. It's yourself exactly. It was a weird

16:10

I feel like it's like what Ben Shapiro thinks it

16:13

like woke comedy is and you're like, no, there are

16:18

many non binary and queer comics that are funny as hell,

16:22

and how dare you do this to them and us?

16:25

Like this is very bad? When you watched it, were

16:28

you constantly praying for Chay to completely funk over Miranda?

16:32

Like at every time, I was like, please be like

16:35

pull up to the show and like there with somebody else.

16:38

Please break Miranda's just smash that ship into the ground.

16:41

I think it's so on brand from Miranda to fall

16:44

in love with someone like Chay. I just love I

16:47

think everyone I think they've seen the take. We can

16:49

talk about this for a while, but I've seen the

16:51

take of like Miranda's turned into a Karen. It's like, yeah,

16:54

Miranda's kind of always been a Karen. They're all kind

16:57

of Karen's and it's way funnier to have someone who's

17:00

out of touch and like leaving their husbands at the

17:03

age of whatever, fifty five sixty for no good reason.

17:07

I still can't finish it because I just think it's

17:09

it is again the most cursed reboot. Justice for Steve,

17:13

Justice for Samantha, and I'm not going to finish this

17:17

until Jake gets better jokes. Damn. I think season has

17:20

written so you're not gonna finish it. I watched it

17:24

like like maybe it'll deed. Nah nah. I just first

17:29

of all, I feel sorry for the performer playing j

17:32

DS because they are they are going through and they

17:36

was like, I just read a script. Leave me alone.

17:40

He is I think Sarah ramis Yes, yes, yes, Sarah's

17:44

like I just did a job, like I couldn't like

17:48

my own jokes. But also I saw like a clip

17:51

of I don't know the character character Miranda as the

17:54

woman who was like into j D S right, okay.

17:59

I saw a clip a clip or meme or something

18:01

where Miranda was like, im you like three months ago?

18:06

Why didn't you hit me back? And Shadeas was like

18:09

I smoke a lot of weed. I couldn't hit you.

18:12

I was like, what the fund does that mean? You

18:14

said I do a lot of weed? Yeah, siring Emoji

18:21

copp alert, Can I have one weed? Please? Let's let's

18:27

just get it out. We already know what you're trying

18:30

to do. Yeah, that that's a very I mean, yeah,

18:32

like I could get into this all day, but they've

18:34

really fucked up not having samanth On there too, And

18:36

let's like it is what it is let's move on

18:39

to underrated. Francesco, what's something you think is underrated? I mean,

18:44

this thing keeps on coming back with a vengeance. You know,

18:47

it is resilient as hell. I think the status quo

18:50

is just really just stumping on all of us and uh,

18:55

really out here underrated, Like we just we forget like

19:00

oh yeah, hey, remember how things don't change? So every

19:04

week every day, I'm kind of like, yeah, that fucking

19:07

status quo still getting the better of us. And uh,

19:11

I'm also like generally mad that like people and progressives

19:15

and the left, like I wish we should be Like

19:17

after you see the Canadian truckers, You're like, man, why

19:19

aren't we doing that ship? You know, it's like the

19:22

it's like the five percent of me on the January

19:24

six that was like we should have done that. Yeah

19:27

we would. We would have all died obviously because we're here. Yeah,

19:31

but yeah, but yeah, the concept is, I mean, listen,

19:37

do what you gotta do. But instead of the target,

19:40

we should have been fucking blowing up the capital tool

19:43

and ship to like get our way. I know that's

19:46

but like violently violence with our ideas empty capital to

19:55

nobody in there or anything like that, just you know,

19:58

blowing up with our word by brick we go mash

20:03

as Eminem once said, as for everyone ran into the

20:06

capital to then vote. We're gon, we're gonna egg it.

20:10

We just don't egg it. Yeah, status quo is something.

20:14

It's underrated. It is always the hardest one for me.

20:17

It's gravity, you know what I mean, Like, how do

20:20

you up end gravity without getting everybody on Earth to

20:23

jump at the same time. I believe that's the one

20:25

way we can't make ship happen, you know and throw

20:27

Earth off its axis? Is every if everyone earth? Yeah,

20:32

but yeah, it is. It is like really disheartened because

20:35

you there are always these moments you're like, oh, you

20:38

know what potential sea change and no, you only just

20:42

saw some change for about six months and then right

20:45

back to it. And whether it's you know, equality, racial injustice,

20:50

fucking misogyny, whatever, like, there's always just that little bit.

20:54

But then for whatever reason, it's too difficult for the

20:58

masses to fully cross over. Whites are gone, you know,

21:02

a guilt followers that, yeah, that motherfucker's gone. They left

21:06

they you know, so and it's just right back to normal,

21:08

which is what we say all the fucking time. It

21:12

was like, all right, y'all putting your black squares up

21:14

now and post it. Y'all posting a little bit longer

21:17

this time shamed him. We should have shamed about the

21:20

black squares, you know what I mean? Like maybe that

21:22

was support. That's on us, It's on us, like effort,

21:29

but it is. It is like you go back and

21:31

look at videos from and it is incredible how little

21:36

has been done. And I know we're going to talk

21:38

about it with the Kim Potter and Dante right case,

21:40

but like it's incredible a little has been done on

21:43

criminal justice reform anything, not even we don't even have

21:47

a database, still don't have a database of police shootings.

21:52

And that's just insane to me. The most popular mean,

21:54

while we're still here out of here fucking discussing deep weather,

21:57

defund the police, hurt the Democrats, Biden one motherfucker's what

22:02

are you talking? Re elected? Heidi height Camp didn't get reelected.

22:07

It's because I defund the police. Follo. Of course you

22:10

didn't say defund the police, yea. And the part about

22:15

all of that is, are we really surprised? I think

22:23

I think the hard part, right is you want to

22:25

have enough optimism in your heart to not go fully

22:29

black killed and just be like man, funk everything, Like

22:32

why am I even trying? Because it's everything has to move,

22:36

you know, like you we have to be able to

22:37

keep our heads in the game at some level. But yeah,

22:40

I think like everything, I was like, well, I'm optimistic

22:42

to a point, all right. Part of me is like,

22:45

you know, you're just like I expect the pendulum to

22:47

swing right back into place like it always does. But

22:51

you know, I think, potentially, yeah, if we reach a

22:54

you know, tipping point of enough like minded people, maybe

22:57

you see something happen. But I don't. I don't know

22:59

how close we are to that because people are just

23:01

way too distracted by just trying to survive. Yeah, the

23:05

thing that we slightly bended benefited from the summer of that,

23:10

the grind of capitalism. It's slowed for a second for

23:15

people to be like, what the fun is going on

23:17

out here? That's a really interesting point because yeah, exactly,

23:21

there was a little bit. There was unemployment extension and

23:23

benefits too, folks like you know, comics who don't have

23:27

full time work. There was, yeah, that child tax credit.

23:30

There was a little bit of moment of the boot

23:33

coming off the neck and uh little room there. What's

23:36

funny is that no one's claiming No politician claims that

23:39

mantle piece. I mean except for like Corey Bush, right

23:41

representative Bush, but no one else really claims the mantle

23:44

of like, yeah, the streets. You know, I support the streets.

23:47

I support the BLM movement, I support the defund the

23:50

police movement. There's very, very, very very if you imagine

23:53

seeing all that energy and just letting that ship go

23:55

to waste, and it reveals who really has the power

23:58

in this country. Absolutely, And yet when it comes time

24:01

to vote again, everyone's going to be asking for Black

24:04

Americans vote specifically and young people's vote, and then blaming

24:08

them when ship doesn't go in the democratic suction, like, well,

24:12

if these young people don't vote, motherfucking do something to

24:16

help them, do something, and they will. That's the the

24:19

meme I hate the most from like like big d

24:23

lib fucking loser people who are like oh man, like

24:28

you know, leftists like ruining the country when they don't

24:31

vote for Biden because he didn't forgive student loans. It's

24:35

like if he forgave student loans, I guarantee you the

24:39

Democrats will win for like the next ten years, like

24:44

like see you easiest win. It doesn't easy to ship legislatively,

24:50

could sit and do nothing for the next three years,

24:52

which was already sort of what he's aiming to do.

24:54

All you gotta do is abolish student loans. Everyone under

24:57

thirty five will love you forever. The memes, the memes.

25:02

Think of the memes Joe Biden, Oh my god, we

25:05

will do manymes for you. Joe will put in all

25:07

different kinds of aviator glasses. They're gonna move in laser eyes,

25:11

laser eye. Oh yeah, we'll do the laser eyed hotel

25:14

meme to Biden. You know what I mean by bridy,

25:17

You will be the first black president. If you do that,

25:20

we'll replace Clinton and Obama and be like, remember when

25:24

was the first president? Yeah, and it is wild too.

25:28

I think it's a really disingenuous critique, right for people

25:31

who want to just say, well, it's really selfish that

25:34

you would even articulate in opposition to voting for Democrats

25:37

when the alternative is fascism. I'm sorry. A lot of

25:41

people are already living some version of a fascist helescape

25:44

or oppressive healthscape, whether or not Joe Bidenen is an office,

25:49

and I think without understanding what it means to what

25:52

in action means, it's just as violent for people. And

25:56

I think and not really looking at that piece and saying,

26:00

you know what failure to addressing these problems is is

26:04

we're moving in the same direction. It's just like, what,

26:06

how slow do you want to creep towards fascism? Do

26:09

you want to do the slow motion version where you

26:10

do nothing and just kind of watch the whole thing

26:12

rot or Republicans who just want to put that ship

26:14

too fast forward. We're still not seeing real material outcomes

26:19

for working people, for poor people, for oppressed people. And

26:22

that's really the whole rug. Did you not learn your

26:26

lesson at all? At all? I mean, it's difficult because

26:30

I keep on saying this, like Joe Biden was a

26:32

wet blanket, literal wet blanket to put out the fire

26:34

of Trump, and we fucking needed a wet blanket. But

26:37

now we're stuck with a wet blanket and we're like,

26:40

oh man, it's freezing. It makes me colder. Now we

26:46

need we need a weighted blanket now, yeah, exactly, And

26:49

I think, you know, I hope this. I mean, I

26:52

think I saw one piece this week talking about Joe

26:56

Biden needing a primary challenger one and that was like

26:59

a very you know it's an op ed or whatever,

27:01

but that that needs to be serious. Remember he said,

27:04

I'm just a bridge. I'm a bridge. Okay, I mean,

27:09

but again your ass to Kamala Harris. But we all know,

27:17

we all know after we don't all know, but it's

27:21

likely that AOC is probably gonna or she's gonna be

27:25

called to run. I mean, you don't know. I feel

27:28

like she's on the Obama track like an oh four.

27:31

She had a but she had a quote recently She's like,

27:33

I'd rather be out of this ship, man, I'd rather

27:35

be in the streets like this. Every time, every time

27:39

some I mean every time some new article like the

27:41

one we're talking about with Axios comes out, AOC is

27:44

like I will go homestead, bitches, like I will go

27:48

live off the land, and you all can fucking fight

27:51

fen for yourselves. Like she's like this close is just

27:54

putting on a bonnet and having like a million babies

27:57

and never looking back. And we're like, no, we actually

28:00

need you. I don't think she would ever do that,

28:02

but she threaten. What's funny is because of this too,

28:06

like the Democrats are seating more like like sort of

28:10

this populist fertile ground to energize voters, leaving that to

28:15

the conservatives now because now they're just sort of like,

28:17

hey man, you can be anybody and like you can

28:19

fuck you can function up down the school board or

28:22

as a as an electoral official or whatever. And they're

28:26

really speaking this thing of like really trying to frame

28:28

it as these people only care about the well to do,

28:30

and it's I mean, when you look at your like

28:32

that that kind of tracks if I'm not really looking closely,

28:35

im like, yeah, maybe, well that's the thing. The status

28:37

quo actually ripens for fascist takeover. It is perfect when

28:42

you don't get anything done, you've proven that you're useless.

28:46

Then you make way for a demagogue to be like

28:48

only I can fix it. And that's when authoritarianism happens.

28:52

And more and more people are on board with that

28:54

because they're like, well, at least something's happening rather than

28:57

absolutely nothing. But I also agree that I don't think

29:00

that people would actually necessarily vote for a Republican but

29:04

it's just lack of turnout. You know, the vote is

29:06

not obligatory in this country, and so you just stay home. Yeah, exactly,

29:11

And like why I go out because the the last

29:13

forty years they've been lying to me. M okay whatever, anyway,

29:19

jails like guys for president. All right, we'll take a

29:21

quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back

29:33

speaking of the status quo. Uh. Kim Potter, the cop

29:38

who killed Dante Right because she claims that she was

29:41

just shooting an unarmed person with a taser rather than

29:44

a full blown gun. She is in the news because

29:47

they're sentencing hearing occurred last week and a lot of

29:52

people are saying, what's what's going to be the outcome?

29:54

You know, charged with the first and second degree manslaughter?

29:57

Is it going to be fifteen years like Dante Right

30:00

family had hoped for? Is it going to be the

30:02

seven years that the prosecutors wanted? Who felt like, you know,

30:05

based on her record, this feels about right, based on

30:08

the sentence, are based on the crime or would the

30:10

legal system just find a way to access untold amounts

30:13

of empathy for the killer? Uh? It's the third one.

30:17

She was sentenced to barely two years with time served

30:20

along with a weak as fine that like it sounds

30:24

like something you would get for, just like driving drunk

30:27

too many times and you'd ever hurt anybody. Like it's like, yeah, man, sorry,

30:31

you're on probation. You're gonna have to spend sixteen more

30:33

months in jail, and then you can go back to

30:35

your two children who are still alive, and go on

30:39

with your life. The thing that was really, I mean

30:43

again speaking of you know how the legal system and

30:46

and you know, oppressive systems maintain themselves. The judge in

30:51

this trial felt so terrible for this woman, Kim Potter again,

30:56

who is still alive there and their children aren't, you know, well,

31:00

for all intents and purposes, her life is unchanged since

31:02

this shooting. Again, this sentence was below state guidelines and

31:07

the judge, Regina Chew said it was quote one of

31:09

the saddest cases I've had on my twenty years on

31:12

the bench. Oh really was it? Because Dante right was

31:15

a young father, uh and was maybe needlessly killed? Is

31:18

that what it was? On the and this goes on

31:20

quote on the one hand, a young man was killed

31:23

and on the other a respected twenty six year veteran

31:26

police officer made a tragic error by pulling her handgun

31:29

instead of her taser. Now listen to listen to this.

31:32

On the one hand, a young man, that's it, that's

31:36

all you get there, that's all you get that that

31:38

reductive a young man was killed. But on the other hand,

31:43

you get a respected twenty six year veteran police officer

31:48

tragic error. Like you know, you get all these like

31:52

you know, all these adjectives to describe this person who

31:57

murdered somebody and who used the excuse I did no

32:01

get the fun I I can tell the difference without

32:05

looking between my Roku remote and my fucking television remote.

32:09

You're a police officer. You can't tell the difference between

32:12

your taser and your handgun. Get the funk out of

32:15

Get the funk out of it. And if that's the case,

32:17

you should be in jail for ten years from being

32:19

the worst twenty six year veteran police officer in the

32:22

fucking world who, after twenty six years in the heat

32:27

of battle, still can't tell the difference between your fucking

32:30

handgun and the taser. Kiss my entire brown ass, like,

32:34

get the funk outta here. Was she not actually the

32:37

kind of like was she not training other police officers,

32:40

was already in like maintaining your cool in these situations.

32:44

That's again he look at where all the empathy is.

32:47

You've reduced this young man to a young man. That's it.

32:51

Nothing about twenty years old, not not even twenty one

32:54

years old, not about their their child that is going

32:58

to be who's missing a parent out. But this other

33:01

thing is now just and completely again the reduction of

33:05

just saying that Dante red is a young man and

33:07

completely ignores the pile of black bodies that have been

33:10

created by like law enforcement officers who just feel like

33:14

they can do whatever the funk they want to. That's

33:16

not the issue here. It's just a tragic. It's just

33:19

it's also weird to me that the judge this is

33:21

one of the saddest cases I've had on my twenty

33:24

years on the bench. Again, another like veteran in the

33:28

justice system or lack thereof, and this is the saddest case.

33:33

And you gave this woman two years with sixteen sixteen

33:38

months essentially only served, and then on parole. Is it

33:41

sad because you're feeling more for this police officer than

33:45

you are for the family and the man who and

33:48

the children who no longer have a dad. Like, what

33:53

the fun? This is? Sad you I'm sure you've seen

33:56

and you've sentenced like fun are poor people, let's say

34:02

to like condemn them to way longer life sentences or

34:06

way longer sentences for non violent drug offenses. Then you

34:10

just did for an police officer who should have known better,

34:14

who just murdered a dude in cold blood. Yeah, Like,

34:18

I don't understand why she's sad about this, because because,

34:22

I mean, it's sad to see that I have to

34:24

punish someone who is an upholder of oppression. I'm just

34:29

so sad that I even have to do I'm sad.

34:31

I couldn't. I couldn't just let her go right now.

34:33

That's exactly what it is. I'm sad that I even

34:36

had to do this much. That's the only time. The

34:39

only time people are sad for people who make tragic

34:43

errors in their profession is what police officers. We pay

34:47

them not to make these mistakes, Like that's that's their

34:49

job not to make this mistake. Motherfucker's won't say for

34:52

the captain who wrote the Titanic into the iceberg, like

34:56

Motherfucker's wasn't sad for you know, pilot Zoo crash, You're

35:00

not sad for you know them. As a matter of fact,

35:02

people sued him. People sued like the motherfucker's who like

35:06

make tragic errors and their jaws because and like mistakes happened.

35:11

I get it. I'm not like being that reductive for

35:13

that dunce, but like we pay professionals, especially a twenty

35:17

six year professional, to not make mistakes like this. And

35:21

you know, the judge said that the lesser sentence, they said,

35:25

you know, it's kind of above board. Let me tell

35:26

you why. Quote Potter was in the line of duty

35:29

and doing her job in attempting to lawfully arrest Dante

35:31

right when she mistook her gun for a taser, okay,

35:34

And then said Potter was also trying to protect another

35:37

officer who could have been dragged and seriously injured if

35:39

Wright drove away. M okay, I don't. I don't know

35:42

about all that. I know he was shot in his

35:44

chest and then died a few blocks away in his car.

35:48

And how long did that black officer in Minnesota get

35:50

scentists for killing that white woman? And that was wasn't that.

35:54

I think it's a much longer sentence. But again, this

35:57

is where the judge says, this is from quote. This

36:01

is not a cop found guilty of murder for using

36:03

his need to pin down a person for nine and

36:04

a half minutes as he gasped for air. This is

36:06

not a cop found guilty of manslaughter for intentionally drawing

36:08

his firearm and shooting across his partner and killing an

36:11

unarmed woman who approached his squad. This is a cop

36:15

who made a tragic mistake. I can't honestly believe it.

36:20

Potter's lawyer, her defense attorney, gestured to a box dring

36:24

because if you sign you the trial, Kim Potter went

36:26

up there with those tears that you know that ship

36:29

is more potent than fucking uranium, white woman tears, You

36:33

can fucking you can move heaven and Earth with that ship.

36:36

Her her attorney gesture to a box that was supposedly

36:39

that contained supposedly, he said, thousands of letters and postcards

36:45

of support, saying, quote, he is never seen anything like

36:48

this in his life. What is that supposed to mean?

36:51

If you get enough love letters from other racists that

36:55

there's like a quota you can hit They're like, okay,

36:57

you got your thousand postcards and your white woman years. Okay,

37:01

not guilty. Yeah, it's like the Valentine's Day box, you know,

37:04

you just decorate it real nice and like well, I

37:06

mean she the racists had a nicer Valentine's a box,

37:09

so people wanted to put more Valentines in it. And

37:12

the judge said the same thing. I received so many

37:14

letters of support. Oh that's funny because I remember outpouring

37:18

of protests around this murder. But I guess they didn't

37:21

come in the form that you liked it in and

37:23

needed to be like a little handwritten note on some

37:27

you know, paper source stationary, a lot less energy to

37:30

put your body out there in the streets in spray

37:33

it with strawberry spray, you know, exactly good, this is

37:37

real support. And yes, and and what's wild too is

37:40

the sentence comes out the same day they put a

37:42

mirror luck you laid him to rest in Minnesota, and

37:47

it's just a it's again, I mean, yes, it's the exactly,

37:53

it's the status quo and the and the sad part

37:56

from me is that, like these thing, I'm so desensitized

38:01

to this ship at this point, like I don't even

38:04

feel anything like and I know that's I mean, I

38:07

feel anger, but my anger at this point has to

38:10

be so compartmentalized, where like, by the time we go

38:13

to the next segment, I've forgotten my anger about this story,

38:16

you know, like it has it has to be that way,

38:18

because if not, you can get way down by the

38:22

fact that diss attence comes out when we bury a mirror.

38:25

You know, like these things stack up in a way

38:28

that it's just like and I think that's in it's

38:32

it's kind of like an abstraction for most American people

38:35

who might not be, you know, as in touch with

38:38

the idea that they're living in an unjust nation because

38:41

for many groups of people here, you see the same

38:44

ship happen over and over and over and over and

38:46

over again, and you begin to get this feedback from society.

38:49

It says, my life isn't really worth much. I'm disposable.

38:53

There isn't I It seems to be that an easier

38:58

way for me to exist is to just try and

39:01

bury everything and ignore the fact that the violence that

39:05

is committed against people who look like me, or believe

39:07

the things I do, or or or you know, for

39:10

whatever whatever the reason is that I all I can

39:14

do is have a very very cynical idea about what

39:18

was it, what's in store for me? And that And

39:20

again that also feeds into like even when these people say,

39:23

like I can't believe they wouldn't vote for Democrats, let

39:25

me tell you why, because a lot of people are

39:27

seeing this really horrific ship happen over and over again.

39:31

And I don't care how many fucking does shikis or

39:34

how much kin take cloth you wrap around your dumb

39:36

ass in the Capitol, that doesn't change the fact that

39:39

you functionally did funk all to protect people. And that's

39:42

what is really infuriating is that you see quote unquote

39:45

leadership in this country and they're not prioritizing just the

39:50

bare minimum. Who are still having fucking debates over qualified immunity,

39:54

you know what I mean. And that's what really makes

39:55

it disheartening too, is like we can't even get over

39:57

that fucking hurdle, let alone, even what you were mentioned,

40:00

still no databases, We're still can't even do the bare minimum.

40:03

So much criminality within the justice system, and not only that,

40:07

I mean, you've got extremists just laced all through it too,

40:10

you know, as January six proved. And but meanwhile, the

40:14

defund the police people are radical come on and uh

40:18

and anything I think the right and even to obviously

40:21

a certain extent Democrats, but they're kind of okay with

40:25

the number of innocent black Americans who get gunned down

40:29

so long as you don't say anything about it, right,

40:31

It's like not, the real problem they have is with

40:35

people taking the streets about this. They're not upset by

40:39

the status quo of the murder. They're fine with that.

40:43

They're just really mad that you've got a problem with

40:46

And that's racism in a nutshell. That's right wing, and

40:49

that's left wing in a nutshell. It's like I thought

40:51

we were post race. I have to keep on reminding

40:54

me that your community is over policed and that you've

40:57

lost your relatives to gun islands, police violence and the

41:02

criminal industrial complex or the prison industrial complex, you know.

41:06

And yeah, everyone's in a shitty relationship with this country

41:09

which has violated you, transgressed over and over, and so

41:14

it still does the thing like what you're hearing a

41:15

lot of dysfunctional, toxic relationships. Oh my god, you're still

41:18

talking about that. That I that I cheated on you

41:22

multiple times, that I'm abusive, that I'm no good. We're

41:26

still talking about this, yes, because you are still fucking up,

41:30

that's why, and the fact that this insistence to move

41:33

on again, But the inaction is just as violent because

41:36

you're not addressing the fucking factors that are making life

41:40

so miserable for people as you're texting your your your

41:45

other like side chick, like you're still talking about that?

41:47

Hang on, let me answer. I told you, I'm I'm

41:51

working in social media stuff now, so I have to

41:54

look for people with big followings that Becky Cakes is

42:01

a serious business person that I have to say. You know,

42:07

I may not to not to not to change the

42:10

subject on this, you know, on this subject, I may

42:13

need an alibi. Yeah, I I just got an email.

42:15

I was That's why I was checking my phone, and

42:17

I want I want y'all to keep this in because

42:19

I may need y'all to I may need the whole

42:21

internet to be like now, he wasn't there. I just

42:23

gotta I just got an email from like a weed store,

42:26

a dispensary with it like a ninety one dollar order. Oh,

42:30

And I was like, oh, ship somebody that stole my card.

42:33

But then it was like payment type cash, so like

42:36

somebody must have went to a weed store posing as

42:39

me and paid cash for like a hundred dollars of

42:43

ship and uh but you, but I got the receipt

42:47

and like the points and ship. I'm not sure what's

42:49

going on. But in case this weed store, in case

42:52

of dispensary gets robbed or some ship today, I want

42:54

y'all to let everybody know Jackies was recording. Was like, guys,

42:58

right here, right now, I got an alibi. It wasn't me.

43:02

But if nothing like that happens, I want these points.

43:06

You want the stamps on the card. I want the

43:08

stamps on the card. Yeah. Yeah, I was sweating. Though

43:10

I was sweating, I was like somebody and got my card, man,

43:13

I was That's why I went silent for a minute.

43:16

Maybe maybe someone's cooking you up and you're gonna get

43:19

Maybe maybe somebody about to be at my door and like,

43:21

here's the present for your brother. Remember those white guilt

43:24

gifts from remember m's from people motherfuckers from high school.

43:31

They're like, hey, man, I had one month. I haven't

43:34

had one person venmo me for Black History month this year,

43:37

and like I would donate it anyway, but maybe this

43:40

is it. Everybody Vinmo, Me, Miles, and Francesco because Francesco

43:45

was here by default, Vio is all for Black History

43:49

Month and not everybody, Well decide what we don't do

43:52

with it, and please don't let it be a scam

43:54

similar to what the Trump's are up to right now,

43:57

because my god, if Crypto wasn't being fuck being force

44:00

fed two people at the rate that it is now,

44:03

I mean, I don't even know what's say here. So

44:06

first of all, we all know n f T s

44:08

are fucking tight. Okay, They're like the sickest way to

44:11

fucking go skip a few steps straight to ballerdom. And

44:16

that's why my first lady, Millennial Trump is coming out

44:21

with their own set of collectible Podus n f D s.

44:24

I just want to read this fucking fucking press release

44:27

that came out from Milania's Twitter account, Potus Trump n

44:31

f T Collection to launch on President's Day. The Potus

44:34

Trump n f T Collection celebrating the Trump Presidency will

44:36

launch on blah blah blah on President's Day. They go

44:39

on to say the n f T collection consists of

44:41

ten original pieces of digital artwork highlighting iconic moments from

44:45

President Trump's administration, such as the Fourth of July visit

44:48

to Mount Rushmore and Christmas at the White House. The

44:51

Limit Edition Collection collection is comprised of ten thou n

44:55

f T s and is tiered into Platinum and Gold levels. Again,

44:58

they're saying they've got a the quote from Milannias quote,

45:02

I am proud to expand upon my n f T platform,

45:05

and I'm honored to be able to recognize important moments

45:07

in our nation's history history. I look forward to collaborating

45:13

with others to offer it truly special, authentic parts of

45:17

us study. Also, my husband, my husband is you know

45:26

how it's like my wife and my capital. I mean,

45:31

let's be real. I love being part of this as well.

45:34

They're the thing that they say the company goes on

45:37

and be like, you know, this company is providing history

45:39

fans the ability to purchase patriotic theme collectibles with immutable

45:43

providence permanently recorded on the blockchain. Okay, immutable providence, I mean,

45:52

you know, just because it's real art. You know, it's

45:54

not like like those you don't know, if you're getting junkiard,

45:56

you know, the provenance of this. You know where it

45:59

originates from because of the block chain. Which is funny

46:02

because this isn't the first time Malani and Trump has

46:05

sold n f T s. Like a couple of weeks back,

46:07

she sold like a grifter like charity bundle, which was

46:10

like the white hat she wore when she met mcron

46:13

and a watercolor of that moment, and then an n

46:16

f T version of that watercolor piece. This just sold

46:19

for a hundred seventy thousand dollars and it was supposed

46:22

to go to chair. Some portion went to charity. We

46:24

don't know what the funk. But here's the thing. The

46:27

thing about the blockchain is you can kind of dig

46:29

in and try and line some ship up and figure out, well, who,

46:32

let me see if there's anything overlapping. Turns out the

46:35

same cryptal wallet that paid for this winning n FT

46:39

bit or whatever is the same crypto wallety that created

46:42

the n FT in the first fucking place. They said

46:45

they did it on that to facilitate the buy on

46:48

behalf of like a third party. Now, the big critique

46:51

of this ship, of all this n f T ship

46:53

is you can buy your own ship at an inflated

46:55

price to give the fucking impression that the ship is

46:57

worth more than it is and wait for some other

46:59

idiots come along and buy the ship off, and like,

47:02

like I put up the fifteen grand to make that

47:05

ship look like he was worth fifteen and then this

47:07

person gave me twenty for it. Done deal. So it's

47:10

a very you know again, immutable problem. And people money

47:13

longan money longer O this right, yeah, now, you know,

47:19

Like I still just really don't get it. And one

47:22

of my homies, I think he's been on this show before,

47:24

shout out to Bayside, is into it. I mean he's

47:28

into it, Like he would get so mad right now

47:30

at us talking about it. They support this ship, and

47:33

he tried to explain it to me. It was like

47:34

it's going to be the future and things like Snoop

47:37

Dogg just announced death Row is gonna be an f

47:40

T label or something like that, which I just I

47:43

don't I really don't understand it. And like I'm like,

47:47

I'm a pretty smart guy, and like I just can't

47:51

grasp it. I don't understand it. And I don't think

47:54

people who are into it even understand it. They just

47:57

are doing it. The benevolent crypto argument is one thing, right,

48:01

is that you're finding a decentralized financial system that isn't

48:04

tied to the global banking with no agreed upon value,

48:08

that is insanely volatile and could crash in any moment,

48:11

that is actually not used to buy and sell goods,

48:14

but it's merely horde and inflate value. And but even then,

48:19

and even then, right, like you have these like these

48:22

groups of people who are like you know, putting together

48:25

crypto dowells and stuff. There was this group where this

48:28

guy used like the very democratic form of their like

48:31

doubt to make himself the leader, and then he took

48:34

all the crypto and ran with it. So a lot

48:37

of people like this is how it could be. And

48:38

I get that there is a way that it could be.

48:40

But the second year shouldn't that greed is a dimension

48:44

of it. It's going to be completely perverted, and I

48:47

think maybe one percent of people are going to try

48:49

and use it in a way that I get that

48:50

there is a way to maybe think of a better future.

48:53

But based on the amount of the amounts of energy

48:55

that it takes to mind the ship and all this

48:57

other nonsense that goes on. From from my perspective, I'm like,

49:01

why is every rich motherfucker suddenly coming out here with

49:04

their n f T s or or trying to pump

49:06

up some version of crypto, because again, it's thinking of

49:09

it as like down line salespeople from the what's the

49:13

what's the Jeggings Company, the Lekings Company, lug Rowe, you

49:16

know what I mean. They need more people to come

49:19

in down line from them to make sure that the

49:21

assets that they have now they can sell that ship

49:24

and it's still worth something because they don't, Yeah, they're

49:28

going to be holding the fucking bag. And that's like,

49:32

that's the obviously the cynical view of it that I

49:35

have looking at it in a while, Like whenever I

49:36

see Larry David out here like fucking you know and

49:40

being a fucking h preacher evangelical for this ship, I'm like,

49:44

it's a rap, dude, Like they stop everything and watch

49:46

that ad. I was like it was funny, and then

49:52

oh god, the punch line was on us. Indeed, a

49:57

few things can make me like the Federal Reserve and

50:04

crypto and n f are like, yeah, maybe we need

50:08

the Fed. It's crypto. And then actually touring the front

50:12

because there's a dope pass tour. But the only things

50:15

that like it make you like the Federal Rover what okay? So,

50:18

but what I don't get about the n f T

50:20

is I'm going to create a piece of art that

50:22

is not replicable and assign an arbitrary value to it

50:29

that is then somehow going to appreciate even though what

50:33

the it's not even I get bitcoin because it's got

50:36

the word coin in it, but like, what the funk?

50:39

What am I gonna do with this little dog or

50:41

this little milannia hat hap So like this is what

50:46

bis Eyes said to me. He was like because he

50:48

went to Noah Trevor like a show of his and

50:52

like you could buy the ticket just with cash, or

50:54

you could buy n f T, and like if you

50:58

have the n f T, it was the same price.

51:00

But if you have the n f T, like subsequent

51:04

shows or different things could be like and for anybody

51:08

who has like the Trevor Noah n f T, you

51:11

get these perks and these perks and nice perks. So

51:13

it's like you get it's like it's basically like a

51:15

reward program will be okay, that's a that but there's

51:19

a quantity of that that I sort of yet, Right,

51:22

the whole point is n f T s are helping

51:25

to mainstream the use of cryptocurrencies. That's it really like

51:28

if you broaden out because it's not enough to people

51:31

be like, oh, I bought this much etherory or about

51:33

this much crypto, or don't or whatever you're saying. We

51:36

gotta find a way for people to start using this

51:37

crypto in a way that also feels like there's it's

51:40

an investment and also works too. So if you don't

51:43

know much about economics, you damn sure know about Michael

51:45

Jordan taking off from the free throw line and dunk contest,

51:47

don't you want to own that gift as the n

51:49

f T and be the only motherfucker on the internet

51:51

that owns that. Like that's all they're making fun of us.

51:54

They're making fun of us instead of helping us understand

51:57

the economy and also how bullshit like the market is.

52:01

They're just making fun of us. They're like, do you

52:04

want to really be a Miranda if you're such a

52:07

sex in the city fan. Well, by the moment that

52:11

Shade has fingered Miranda in Candy's apartment face to face

52:16

face to face kitchen finger bang scene in n f T.

52:20

You got it. That's mocking me, man, I'd buy it

52:30

wasn't not hot. It was hot the only time. It's

52:33

the only time I like shade as like smoking weed

52:37

and being like shot a girl, your friend. We're covering

52:39

in the other room from our sin and empty. Oh

52:46

my god. All right, let's take a quick break and

52:49

we'll be right back. And we're back. Let's keep our

53:03

eyes on the dystopia a little bit more as we

53:06

talk about Movie Pass. You know, as our writer J

53:10

M McNab says, they're going full black mirror. You said, what,

53:13

how can Movie Pass become some kind of black mirror episode? Well,

53:17

let me tell you so. At the end of last year,

53:20

one of the original co founders, Stacy Spikes, acquired the

53:23

company out of bankruptcy. Okay, And the whole thing with

53:26

Stacy Spikes was they were saying, look, I was basically

53:31

ousted from the company originally because I was the one saying,

53:34

you know, this business model doesn't work. It makes no sense,

53:37

Like you're gonna funk everything up trying to do it

53:39

like this, And they're like, you know what, stay get

53:41

the funk out of here, Spikes comes back, and then

53:44

you know saying, ha ha, I will buy this fucking

53:47

distressed asset now and finally make it the thing that

53:50

it needs to be really pay off on this process

53:52

of movie or the promise of movie pass. And so

53:55

we're like, well, what are the new what's the new

53:57

movie pass about? What's it gonna be? Well, along some

54:01

like whatever boring details, there's a new thing that it's

54:04

going to have an app where you can quote earn

54:07

credits to go to the movies by watching ads and

54:10

commercials that are customized to you. You said, okay, well,

54:13

it's like sounds like remember the late nineties and like

54:17

early two thousands where you would just do like focus

54:20

groups and you get like free east pack backpack all

54:22

the time. That was like my bread and butter. But

54:25

this whole thing now it's like you have to you

54:27

have to do it our way. So how do you

54:29

get these credits? Well, in order to make sure that

54:31

you're stinking acid is actually looking at the fucking advertisements,

54:36

the the app is going to access your phone's front

54:39

facing camera to make sure that your eyes are fucking

54:43

on the screen by movement trackers to say, hey, uh,

54:48

you're trying to fucking zone out during this John and

54:50

Kate Plus eight reboot series that's coming up. You need

54:53

to look at this Like a red square comes on

54:55

the screen and it pauses the video until it knows

54:58

you're looking back at it again. And that's how you

55:00

earn your little fucking credies. It is minority Report, Yeah

55:06

it is. It is scary. So, first of all, this

55:11

is insane and I love it. I'll never do it,

55:14

but I love I love that like we are finally

55:18

seeing what's the right word, the downfall of how accelerated

55:25

our technology has gotten on us, where basically all this

55:29

is doing to me is because this is not gonna work.

55:32

But like, all this is doing to me is driving

55:36

home the fact that our phones can track our fucking

55:39

eyeballs again, and this is the technology that we have

55:45

when we're looking at our phones. This is off topic,

55:49

but kind of on topic. I had to do like

55:51

some for the I R S Associates, some Verify I

55:54

D Ship and I didn't know my phone and I

55:57

had to upload my driver's license and it was like, okay,

56:00

now we are going to turn on your camera and

56:03

take a selfie video of you to verify that you

56:07

look like your I D And it was like this

56:09

video selfie that was all different colors and it was

56:12

like scanning my face and I was like, this is

56:14

my fucking phone and this is the I r s. Yeah,

56:18

accessing my phone to do this ship and the fact

56:22

that it has gotten down to the point where movie

56:24

pass can do this too in sane I mean, if

56:31

nothing will make me watch an ad for Marry Me

56:35

all the way through, Like I you cannot force me

56:39

to watch that fucking ad for that fucking movie with

56:42

Owen God Damn Wilson or is it Luke. No, I

56:49

don't want to watch Got Back Together for a Romantic Phone,

56:53

right right? I get I've scrolled past that. I don't

56:57

care if I get free movies. I do not care.

57:00

I will not watch that. All I feel like, well

57:02

we need to do is invest in like fake eyes

57:05

that people can put on and then trick your fucking

57:07

phone into thinking like your eyes are actually looking at it.

57:09

I bet you could just put like a broom with

57:11

Google eyes and or even like some glasses that have

57:15

eyes printed on them. Yeah, they're just like, yeah, this

57:18

sho looking because what if what if you do have

57:20

some glasses on, what you gotta take them off. I

57:23

mean Jackie's you're right, because it's like the half of

57:26

your brain when something like that happens, the I R

57:28

S thing. I think I did something similar, but I've

57:30

like put it into the like will forever forget that

57:33

we're entering into tectotalitarian is um part of your brain.

57:36

We're like, I'm gonna forget I even did that, but

57:39

but like you're simultaneously kind of fascinated that it even exists. Yeah,

57:43

so you're split, You're like, oh wow, whoa wow. Yeah. Anyway,

57:48

that's how I felt. I was like, I guess this

57:50

is cool, but I also if this is terrifying because

57:53

at any point you can just turn this on. You

57:57

can turn this on, you can listen to me, you

57:59

can see me. Like it's interesting because it's also like

58:04

the models, like I don't know if Apple is participating

58:07

in this, but like the you know, Apple's model is like,

58:10

you don't know, we're tracking you all the time, but

58:12

only for us really, And they've been generally resistant when

58:17

like the N S A and others want to back

58:20

They hate the idea of building in a back channel

58:23

for security, right, because they think that that's like a

58:25

violation of privacy, slash their ability to come out with

58:30

the next new iPhone. You know, there are no heroes,

58:34

but like they're the least awful when it comes to

58:37

some of this privacy stuff. But yeah, it's also it

58:40

makes me reconsider you ever, Like when you're going number two,

58:43

I don't like to hold my phone because that's gross.

58:45

Like to set it up and it's put something on

58:48

the watch and then I'll like be watching it because

58:51

I feel like in the act of sing, like your

58:52

whole body becomes filthy, so you're just I don't know.

58:56

I like to put it somewhere and then I'll like

58:58

sit down because of course we can never to be alone.

59:00

Got that phone? Oh yeah, you're holding it. Oh yeah,

59:05

I'm not touching my ass. Sometimes bring a laptop in

59:09

the bathroom if I need to watch something on the

59:11

bigger screen. I'm like, you know what, but I get

59:14

you know, I get you. It's the it's the it's

59:16

the it's the fact that it's it's a mental thing.

59:18

You don't your body is doing something that you don't

59:21

want to actually like touch something trash to your face.

59:25

I just feel actually a little too close to all

59:27

the people I interact with on the interview, like something,

59:29

I'm going to push the wrong button and someone's gonna

59:33

hear like this, I'm going I'm gonna acidentally press Snapchat

59:37

and somebody will be like, every going live right now.

59:43

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. But I also know that,

59:45

like there is someone on the other side of this

59:47

little Black Mirror. My my phone's name is Black Mirror.

59:51

Do you ever want to air drop people? Okay, I

59:54

love that, but I always imagine that there is some

59:56

one the other side watching me, just kind of like

59:58

on the toilet far away, like I'm doing that. I'm

1:00:04

out of the side frame anyway, long distance. You're listening

1:00:07

to the podcast, which you probably are, it's wild too

1:00:11

because the creative people keep saying, like why Black Mirror

1:00:13

and coming back? And the creator just straight up said

1:00:16

the world is depressing enough now, Like when the world

1:00:19

gets so depressing enough for the Black Mirror creator, Yeah,

1:00:23

And we get to the point where it's like, yeah,

1:00:25

he's right, like movie Pass talking about we're gonna track

1:00:27

your eyeballs. Also shout out to a m c A list,

1:00:30

you know, what I'm saying. You know, let me get

1:00:33

the plug in here real quick. Twenty five bucks, three

1:00:35

movies a week. I know, movie before it Raised, It

1:00:40

raised after Dependemic. But you know what, you get free

1:00:43

popcorn or just extra free pop You'll get extra free popcorn,

1:00:47

extra free popcorn. You can see any movie Imax, you

1:00:51

could do it all. You know, it's it's it's a

1:00:53

beautiful thing. Movie Pass was a unicorn and the movie

1:00:56

going experience, but they got people going back to the movies,

1:00:58

I think, which was pretty dope. Don't think there are

1:01:00

three movies in a given month I ever want to

1:01:03

see in the theater. Absolutely not in the summer. Maybe

1:01:06

because it's hot and I like to be I like

1:01:08

going to cold movie theater and when it's hot. But

1:01:12

I mean that's the thing I'm already like I'm looking

1:01:14

at how like you know a lot of these places

1:01:16

are like private theater rental. I'm like, I want to

1:01:17

go in there and straight up disrespect in AMC theater,

1:01:20

like bring a bunch of crawfish, we have a crawfit.

1:01:23

You have a crow to crawfish boil theater like I'm sorry, Yeah,

1:01:28

we're smoking blunts in here. I don't know who these

1:01:30

other people just joined us. I don't know Mr am C,

1:01:33

but we really enjoyed How's a Gucci? I'd be smoking

1:01:36

my vape and exactly, but I'd be I'll be getting

1:01:39

high in the in the movie theaters. I just want

1:01:43

to say about alongside this story with Stacy Spikes, So

1:01:47

he originally had another app that he launched on Kickstart

1:01:50

in twenty nineteen called pre Show, which was exactly this

1:01:53

same idea. You get credits for movies if you watch

1:01:56

like fifteen to twenty minutes of commercials while the cameras

1:01:59

fixed upon your eyeballs. So twenty minutes, yeah, I think

1:02:04

you could probably break it up, right, you may. Maybe

1:02:06

you have to get through that ship to get a credit,

1:02:08

and you could probably break it up however you want.

1:02:09

But that's a hell of a lot of your damn

1:02:12

human time to do that, which is why by our

1:02:14

fake eyes, so you can hack these kinds of stupid devices.

1:02:17

Advertisers will absolutely go for this, Like on that side,

1:02:21

they're like, oh, it's perfect, We'll force their eyes on it. Great.

1:02:27

I'm there for it because honestly, with the whole streaming

1:02:29

thing and everyone fast forwards. It's a it's difficult. It's

1:02:32

a mess. It's a mess. How doing that with TV?

1:02:36

With TVs now? Like, yo, you want to keep watching

1:02:40

Grand Crew watch these commercials? Yea. I like the idea

1:02:45

of a of a stripper named Pipe Jerry or or

1:02:48

a plumber named Jerry Pipe. It happened, you know, some

1:02:53

similar things that technology I didn't know existed, but it's

1:02:56

like incredibly surveillance state was I think Matt was trying

1:03:00

to record, like screen record the trailer for the Many

1:03:06

Saints of New Work. I was like Many Saints in

1:03:10

New Work, terrible film. But and after he screen recorded it,

1:03:14

he watched it back, it was black, black, completely dark

1:03:17

screen like. That's because Apple, Apple is trying to help

1:03:20

you out. That's many of those third party ships to

1:03:22

actually be able to record, because even if you did

1:03:24

the screen cap, like you can't even take a picture

1:03:26

of your ship like I used to do that ship

1:03:28

to make memes of like Fance, They'll be like, nope,

1:03:31

ship's black because the app, like the Apple operating system

1:03:34

knows you're trying to lift like a copyrighted image. Fuck

1:03:38

that that's crazy. But there's workarounds. But the one thing

1:03:43

Stacy Spikes said about all this, like, yeah, maybe it's

1:03:46

fucking weird, but at the very least I'm being upfront

1:03:49

about how this ship works. I'm not trying to talk

1:03:51

like sneak in weird little fees and ship and limits

1:03:55

on what this new movie passes. We're being straight up.

1:03:58

Look at these ads. Maybe get some more free movies.

1:04:01

Why am I the bad guy? So, I mean, I

1:04:05

don't disagree with that, but that hardly makes me want

1:04:08

to engage with it. It doesn't make me want to

1:04:10

do it. But he's like, Yo, we're telling you everything

1:04:13

we're gonna do. We're we're telling you we're taking advantage

1:04:15

of the technology did they give us. At least he's

1:04:18

just like saying, I'm not lying to you. You just

1:04:20

gotta decided. I like that defense too, was like, Babe,

1:04:23

I told you I was a scumbag when you maybe

1:04:25

I told you I was going to have sex with

1:04:27

another woman, which about you come on now, and that

1:04:32

was a bad guy. I'm a bad guy never anyway,

1:04:37

So yeah, good luck to them. If you want to

1:04:39

join from my crawfish boil in a in a movie theater,

1:04:42

hit me up on Twitter bringing a Coalition of the Willing.

1:04:45

Let's go let's do that. A movie coming out, Let's

1:04:47

go do that. Also, there's a boiling crap right across

1:04:50

the street from the six fucking gigantic trash bag of

1:04:57

crow dads and fucking boil potatoes and corn, and they're like,

1:05:00

what are you doing that story. I'm like, I'm going

1:05:01

to eat this and watch the New Spider Mandy the

1:05:05

Cockroach of the Sea. Yeah, sorry, I can have like two.

1:05:10

And then I look at their face and I'm like,

1:05:12

I can't anymore. I'm not going to get either. You're like,

1:05:20

it's all right. I love it's it's so interactive. I

1:05:23

like an interactive food, like I like working for like

1:05:26

breaking shipped down. You know what, Yeah, I get a

1:05:30

different strokes. So I guess my food, man, what are

1:05:32

you gonna have the crab legs in? Yeah? Okay, yeah?

1:05:37

Or chicken? Yeah? How about easier? About easier to eat it?

1:05:43

Meanwhile the crawfish of the land, Yes, they say, yeah. Meanwhile,

1:05:47

my whole outfit is soaked in whole shebang juice. All right,

1:05:51

Oh yeah, you're getting messy and oh my god, disrespect.

1:05:55

I'm not joking. I think this is the funny, because

1:05:57

have you seen that mean of like that black wom

1:06:00

was on like a Spirit Airlines flight and she had

1:06:02

a whole seafood boil she was eating in the plane

1:06:04

like big gas crab legs and ship and like everyone's like, yo,

1:06:07

she's doing it right, but like also just the air

1:06:11

on that plane, people who are sitting around her. I

1:06:14

was on a flight from Boston back to I think

1:06:16

it was San Francisco when I was living there, and

1:06:18

I was so hungry. It was one of those like

1:06:20

I don't know whatever, too early to have gotten anything

1:06:24

to eat. I fucked up. It was a long flight

1:06:26

and the guy next to me has a giant buttery

1:06:30

lobster rolls just eating it right next to me and

1:06:36

just itching. I was so you know, I like almost

1:06:40

I was very close to asking him for a bite?

1:06:42

Is okay? And I hate I was gonna end the show.

1:06:44

But now I got me thinking. You know how, sometimes

1:06:47

you'll see somebody come on a plane with like a

1:06:49

whole as man brought a whole fucking meal on the

1:06:52

team as plane. Do you are you more outraged that

1:06:55

they're being selfish and they're polluting the odor the air

1:06:59

with their food or you're just mad because you only

1:07:03

ate a fucking Nature Valley bar four hours ago before

1:07:06

you got on the plane. Your stomach louder than a

1:07:08

fucking you know. DMX concert definitely, definitely the latter. I think.

1:07:14

I'm like, God, I'm like, I wish I should have. Man,

1:07:17

this motherfucker brought five guys on. Yeah, well, I y'all

1:07:21

don't bring food on. I won't bring food from the

1:07:23

crib on the plane, but anything past the gate, yeah

1:07:27

I do. But then I get in the thing, I'm like, man,

1:07:29

that's it ain't worth that much because you know l

1:07:31

A X is the like Jersey Mike is like seventy three. Yeah, yeah,

1:07:39

Chicago that the Chicago airports got some good food and

1:07:42

another airports it s o has great food. But my mom,

1:07:46

of course she's Chinese, so she always brings stuff from home.

1:07:49

It's like cut apples, cheese, and that's like my mom.

1:07:53

She's like, I made egg sandwiches, and I'm like, I

1:07:55

love these moms. But we were violating people. But he's

1:07:58

on the plane with Field and go get a water burger. Alright. Anyway, Francesca,

1:08:09

1:08:13

1:09:06

sure that you guys discussed this in great detail, but

1:09:10

I'm loving everything that has to do with the ram

1:09:13

Ranch resistance. M hmm. We've talked. I don't know if

1:09:17

they talked about it when I was gone, but I

1:09:18

know about the gay musical that is disrupting the trucker convoy. Yes,

1:09:23

the trucker convoys who are speaking on an app called

1:09:26

Tello are being interrupted by the gay cowboy anthem ram Ranch,

1:09:30

which is also a terrible but very funny song. And

1:09:34

so a guy named a BuzzFeed reporter named Paul McLeod

1:09:39

was just live tweeting this discussion on Zello with a

1:09:43

bunch of the truckers and it's very very, very very

1:09:47

fun Let me just read one one of these here rights.

1:09:53

This has gone way off the rails. Actual quote. Just now,

1:09:57

what is this ram Ranch people are talk talking about?

1:10:01

Is it somewhere we can go and get our money?

1:10:05

So this is These are all the Canadian trucker supporters

1:10:09

who've just been completely swindled out of their money. And

1:10:13

someone's playing ram Ranch, which starts with a ten naked

1:10:16

cowboys in the shower at ram Ranch, and uh yeah,

1:10:19

it's beautiful. I love this entire thread. Oh god, I

1:10:23

love it. I love just like chaos. But they're like,

1:10:25

we don't know how to get the damn crypto out. Okay,

1:10:30

you tried, you tried, Thank you so much man for

1:10:34

coming on. And oh yes, yes, I know, I do

1:10:38

tell him. I mean, obviously, where do they find you?

1:10:41

Where do they follow you? And you can find me

1:10:43

in these streets. As always, I've been looking. I'm looking

1:10:47

for a tweet right now. I always get to find

1:10:49

a tweet I've been liking. I've been liking trash tweets.

1:10:52

I'm looking over the past couple of days now just like,

1:10:54

no funny tweets, just all I've been in like the

1:10:58

the the world is terrible mood on Twitter for the

1:11:00

past couple of days. So let me let me try

1:11:02

to find a comedy one for you guys. Some that's funny.

1:11:06

Oh all right, I don't need nothing that's funny. Let

1:11:08

me get you all excited about something. So I didn't

1:11:11

I didn't know this. Uh So a tweet i'm liking

1:11:15

is this idea from a Muppet movie that's never gotten

1:11:18

made that I think sounds dope as hell, that I

1:11:21

would love to see made, especially if it's a Muppet movie.

1:11:24

But even just this concept, I think it's pretty dope.

1:11:27

So there's this like tweet going around where people are

1:11:31

retweeting what's your pop culture white whale, unreleased unrealized stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:11:38

and people are like, you know, saying what it is.

1:11:41

Luke Eplin wrote when Jim Henson died, he was developing

1:11:45

an idea called the Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever, in which

1:11:49

Gonzo blows the budget on the opening credits and then

1:11:52

the rest of the movie gets cheaper and cheaper, looking

1:11:55

same street in every shot, etcetera. Would have been amazing.

1:11:59

That ship sounds great. Yeah, he was developing. Yes, that's

1:12:08

so funning. And then apparently like that, I went in

1:12:11

the thread and people were saying, every once in a while,

1:12:14

the Hanston Company or somebody will like bring get it

1:12:17

back up, and hopefully one day I will actually go

1:12:19

into development. But that is so funny, Like the openest

1:12:22

sequence is just big budget, is beautiful, is great, and

1:12:26

then the rest of the movie just gets cheaper and cheaper.

1:12:29

Every celebrity cameo in the Yeah, and then by the

1:12:34

end is Heidi Montag from the hills. Yes, that is

1:12:38

That is such a funny idea that I wish somebody,

1:12:40

I wish I want them up is to do it,

1:12:42

because they would be very beautiful, I think. But just

1:12:45

the idea we need to pull up to uh what

1:12:47

is that sunset? And Librea Studios, is that they make

1:12:53

the film. Yeah, you can crowdfund that ship and it

1:12:55

would probably exactly as it needs to. It's probably probably

1:13:00

so yeah, that's something I'm like. And then one day

1:13:02

I hope that gets made because that sounds still uh

1:13:04

at Jackie's kneel on everything, you'll know what it is.

1:13:06

Go on hand and follow you boy, we still you know,

1:13:09

I'm telling you, once we get once we get past

1:13:11

that magical number, I'm gonna go yeah nine, just short,

1:13:17

we're gonna get there now. Yeah, we're gonna get there.

1:13:21

We're gonna get there. But otherwise and then okay, So

1:13:24

tweet I like is from at Memphis Quinn. It's it's

1:13:27

like this me. It says, can you hear me screaming telepathically?

1:13:30

And it's just the laughter emojis. It's a picture of

1:13:33

Professor Charles Xavier in his like you know, iconic yellow

1:13:38

like hover chair, but it says rather than Professor x

1:13:41

the head is superimposed with the late Earl Simmons a

1:13:44

K D m X. It says Professor d m X

1:13:47

and it says, y'all gonna make me use my mind.

1:13:51

And that ship was so funny to me as a

1:13:53

big dark Man X and X Men fan. And then

1:13:56

another tweet I like is from Spencer at Spence the

1:14:00

Kiddo tweeted me on Love is Blind I'm black? Are you?

1:14:06

I'm always like, are they that? That has to be

1:14:10

getting asked right because gotta you gotta figure some stuff

1:14:14

out up top. But you know what, I love that

1:14:17
