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

03:14
all right. I just got back. Um, so I've been
03:17
at I've been at my apartment mostly. Okay, Well, what
03:20
do you mean you just got back from I was
03:22
in h York, in the streets of New York. Yeah,
03:25
I was in. I was on the streets of New York.
03:26
I was you know, I just got just got back home. Uh, No,
03:29
I was in. I was in Beaute, Montana, of all places.
03:35
What were you doing in Montana? I was in. I was, Yeah,
03:39
I was going to just hanging out with some of
03:41
my biker friends. Um, just in the middle, like it
03:46
was kind of a lot of us just kind of
03:47
you know, packed into a parking lot. Um just you know, shaking,
03:52
hand hugging, kissing, you know, typical biker fan. Um. Yeah, no,
03:58
I was I was I was shooting a movie. Oh cool,
04:02
What was that like on set? Because I know, I
04:04
mean having friends and family and production, it's it seems
04:07
like a lot more going there, a lot more work,
04:10
especially for crew. Yeah, it's um, I've been I've been
04:15
tested four times in the past week. I think, just
04:20
make sure I'm not sick. And there was a period
04:23
where I was not allowed to leave my room and uh.
04:27
And also the hotel might have been haunted, so that
04:29
I think that was unrelated to I think that would
04:30
have been the case. That would have been the case
04:33
regardless of COVID. But you know, it was just I mean,
04:37
it's basically the premise of the Shining. It's just that
04:39
instead of a blizzard keeping you inside the hotel, it
04:44
is the coronavirus pandemic, but you still coronavirus pandemic. And
04:48
also a lot of racist people's hold on Jack, we
04:51
gotta we got a script going there. Were you able
04:56
to feel the local racism in Beaute? It was weird
05:01
because I I feel like, um, because of COVID, Asian
05:05
people are getting it harder than black people right now.
05:07
And so there was an Asian dude on cast who
05:09
definitely felt it. I felt like people were being too
05:12
nice to me, like im Yeah, Like two people asked
05:18
me for money on the street, and then I went
05:21
back and talk to the rest of the cast. I
05:23
was like, people asking you for money, and all of
05:26
them were like, no, nobody's asked any of us. I
05:28
was like, it's like this weird thing where they feel
05:31
like they have to ask me because they're like, oh,
05:34
he's not like guaranteed to be poor anymore. It's not
05:36
that it's not like that. B people have money, You're
05:41
a rich person in my mind, I'm not racist. Yeah. Also,
05:45
one of them was Australian, which was very weird to me.
05:48
So they were begging on the street and they were Australia.
05:52
Was a whole Australian man with blonde dreadlocks. I was
05:55
just gonna ask if he had dreadlocks. Yes, he absolutely did.
05:58
He was exactly the type of person you think he was, uh,
06:01
And it just made me feel sad. It was like,
06:03
you gave up health insurance to live in a mining
06:05
town all the time, you know, like you might be
06:14
safer in Australia with those dreads. Yeah, it's gotta be
06:17
a rough climate. To be unhoused in. Yeah, yeah, it's
06:23
probably pretty bad, but I don't I don't know. It
06:26
was just like it was just a very it was
06:28
a very weird place. There was also there was also
06:30
one bar that everybody told me very specifically not to
06:34
go into because nobody was wearing a mask. And I
06:37
walked outside one day and there was just one dude
06:41
standing outside in this haunted ass town, two teeth in
06:45
his mouth, and he looked at me, and I looked
06:48
back at him, and he goes, hey, man, you okay.
06:51
I was like no, and then he just and then
06:56
he points to the he points to the bar that
06:59
everybody told me to not go into, and he just goes,
07:01
have you ever been in here before? And I was
07:04
like no, and I don't plan to, And I kept moving. Yeah,
07:10
all right, think about it. I will think about brushing
07:15
my teeth as soon as they get back. Yeah. Wow, interesting.
07:20
It's a weird place. Yeah, that's about what I would
07:24
have expected a weather in New York? Is it? Uh?
07:27
Are you guys still in shorts? Because we have people
07:29
dunking on us from Brooklyn being like, oh man, it's
07:32
it's fantastic. It's not bad it's um especially coming from
07:39
like nineteen degree weather, is you know, yeah, you must
07:43
be like you're in a tank top now, oh yeah,
07:45
reflective panel in a sun chair. Oh yeah, I'm out
07:48
shirt off, sitting on the roof, just uh tanning, but
07:53
like as a bit right right, yeah, like it's not
07:57
it's not doing anything. It's just yeah, just to funk
08:01
with the Google Earth photographer. Yeah, alright, let's uh tell
08:07
the people what we're listening to and then we'll get
08:09
to know you a little bit better in a moment.
08:11
There is another new vaccine trial that was made public,
08:15
and that one is ninety four point five effective. The
08:19
last one that we were all impressed with was ninety
08:22
So the wow, they're they're nailing these vacs recipes that chefs.
08:28
Who were they who were they testing? Who are they
08:30
testing on? I think Americans? Actually, I think, oh yeah,
08:35
yeah yeah, white Americans, I hope. I think I think anybody.
08:39
I think, yeah, yeah, okay, just very nervous, always very nervous,
08:44
you know. Yeah, no, yeah, I'm sure that for all
08:47
the talk of like the vaccines, now we'll see how
08:50
racist is it is when they talked about they need
08:52
to get the vaccines to first. Yeah, who needs the first?
08:56
The people who can afford to stay inside and not
08:58
do anything, and people who were actually out there day
09:01
to day doing essential work that is vital to our
09:04
you know, lives moving. Has anybody talked about that yet?
09:07
Like in Contagion the what what is turning out to
09:11
be a documentary? The way they did it was like
09:14
by social Security number I think, or something like the
09:18
dray where they start from one. Yeah, yeah, they start
09:21
from one. The person who has social Security number is one.
09:27
Dust off the Brian McKnight memes again if that really
09:29
is the way they do it, because like how they're
09:31
given to the vaccine with social Security numbers one and true? Like, oh,
09:37
I thought we were talking about the other Brian McKnight
09:39
song where he goes, let me show you how your
09:41
pussy was. Thanks Dr McKnight. We're gonna talk about we're
09:52
we're beyond contact tracing, so all we can do right
09:54
now is kind of speculate as to how people are
09:57
catching coronavirus because it's kind of going out of control.
10:02
So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the weekend
10:04
that Trump and his supporters had. Uh, We'll talk about
10:08
how lockdown is affecting our memories. Will check in with Ellen,
10:11
will check in with a fight club, might even check
10:15
in with Parlor if we have the time and plenty more.
10:20
But first, you know, oh yeah, what is something from
10:23
your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay?
10:27
So I was in Montana for the past week and
10:29
the last two things on my search history are one
10:32
the count from Sesame Street and to liquor store near me.
10:39
See how these couple of seconds of each other? Why
10:43
why the count? You know what? I don't remember? Oh
10:46
you know what it was. It was. It was when
10:49
they were talking about stopping the count for the election,
10:53
and I, yeah, and I and I and I quote
10:56
tweeted somebody with a picture of the count and said
10:58
it ain't stopping ship. Yeah. I think actually that is
11:04
the best way to dump on somebody too. Oh yes,
11:07
so fake and like it's like it's I've never heard
11:10
fuck you be more elegant? Two three, um fourteen thousands.
11:22
Trump is losing by yeah, wait for the recount, wait
11:27
for the re account. That's all nine. What is something
11:34
you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna say, uh state socialism,
11:39
Uh socialism, by governments doesn't is a thing that doesn't
11:43
really work. You can start at the ground floor, you know,
11:46
grassroots things. Talk about the d s A do. I
11:49
do not trust them really, you know, it's very useful
11:53
things that they can that they have the power to
11:55
pass if they were to come into power. But that's
11:56
not it's episocialism that we need in the way. So
11:59
you're saying because the numerically there's not enough there to
12:02
actually affect things versus, but like at a community level,
12:07
like more through like mutual aid networks and things like that,
12:09
that we're able to have more substantive ways to help
12:12
each other. Exactly, I'm saying governments are not the way
12:16
to bring about socialism necessarily. People needs to be thinking
12:19
about what goes on in their workplace, which is also
12:21
a dictatorship. Right, That's how billionaires get made. Don't talk
12:25
spicy to that person. Look that Look that dude, he
12:31
makes a billion dollars and you've got and they have
12:35
a food drive for their own employees, right right right that. Yeah,
12:40
you do identify as a socialist on your Twitter bio.
12:44
So like you, you're just skeptical of waiting around for
12:49
it to come top skeptical of you know, just they're
12:55
not gonna let you vote in socialism, right, They're right,
12:58
they're not going to do it. Let's a good way
13:00
to play. Put it a lot of energy into into
13:03
violently suppressing socialist government. So why are they going to
13:06
let it happen here? You know? Yo, I'm reading the
13:12
book about the Bush Family, the Family of Secrets, uh Chop.
13:17
I was talking about that on their on their podcast,
13:21
and that really puts the whole how violent they're willing
13:26
to be in suppressing anything that isn't white supremacy and
13:31
conservative politics. They're they're they they'll kill you and get
13:37
away with it too. It's about death. It's like energetically,
13:41
it's not about growth. It's about death, like because you're
13:45
you're saying we're fixed now here and funk anything else.
13:48
So that means anything that's trying to get me to
13:51
expand I'm fucking destroying because I'm going to stay fixed
13:54
in this position. I will not experience growth. The energy
13:57
that I put out is to fun people up who
13:59
are trying to create growth, and this is life. Change
14:05
is life, you know what I mean? Good or bad?
14:08
Shit evolving, that's fucking life. Conservatives not about that. They're
14:11
about fucking stagnating and just holding onto this fucking thing
14:15
till it just kills everybody, conserving the existing order which
14:20
they happened to be at the top of and control.
14:24
Funny how that works. What is something you think is underrated? Oh,
14:29
making out without having sex. Sometimes you just gotta kiss
14:34
in Mike, Sometimes you just gotta get a little kissing.
14:37
You know what. Yeah, oh, man, hugging and kissing. Man,
14:40
I remember kissing, kissing and hugging. Yeah, there's something about
14:56
like when I like when I was single, Like I
14:59
don't like when you make out and your single is different.
15:03
It hits different. No shot at my partner or magic.
15:06
We talked about this all the time. It's like, is
15:08
it the same or it's like you almost like when
15:10
you first start dating someone, you make out wild, even
15:13
even before you have sex, because it's like we're not
15:15
having sex because we're making out. This is like what
15:17
it's all the energies and the kissing and you know
15:20
what I'm about, hugging and kissing, kissing, and we're just
15:25
hugging and kissing and kissing and hugging. You gotta like,
15:28
is is there something about kissing specifically that was resonant
15:32
that you were feeling, like, what happened to someone occurred
15:34
to you? Did you have a nice encounter? I don't know, man,
15:36
I was thinking about sometimes you know what you Sometimes
15:39
you just end up in a position where you're just
15:40
like I don't necessarily want to have sex right now,
15:42
but you don't. I like you. Yeah, I'm trying to
15:45
kiss on you, yeah kind of, you know sometimes sometimes
15:49
but people then people don't can't kiss good or kiss
15:53
or like you have to reconcile styles like some people do,
15:55
like the little turtle tongue or oh yeah like that.
16:00
It's just like peking out. It's like, look like a
16:02
turtle in the apple slice and you're like, yeah, I
16:04
need it. We need to sloppy, yapp passionate. Wow, we're
16:10
learning things about But that's so wild though. If they
16:18
give you the little turtle kiss to think the rest
16:21
is going to be better. Yeah, if at that point
16:25
it's not good, would be like, hey, you know what,
16:27
let me just let me just call it uber right now,
16:30
get out of my house. There was somebody went to
16:37
a different high school than me, and I'm not going
16:39
to give any details, but they had they were a
16:41
turtle kisser, and somebody knew like, yo, they kissed like
16:44
a turtle and you know you're sixteen, so everybody's wild toxic.
16:47
And then one of their friends was like, no, like
16:50
they have like that thing under their tongue is like
16:53
attached too far ahead of their from like the front
16:56
of their tongue. Yeah, so yeah, whatever you want called
17:00
the thing that's making you look like a loser in
17:02
high school was what we called it. Um but yeah
17:05
that and then they got a procedure to correct it,
17:08
and then they were out here fucking like lizard face
17:11
just like yeah, yeah. It was like so it was
17:16
a nice It was a nice comeback. You'd love to
17:18
see it, you know, I mean, yeah, I love to
17:23
see it. That was when my two year old was born.
17:29
The there was a doctor who came through. Yeah, yeah,
17:33
no big deal. I got kids. One of the few
17:37
people who's able to pull that off. But the doctor
17:40
came through the delivery room and gave us like this
17:45
really dark speech about why we should have our sons
17:50
like fremulum, like clipped about like how like kids are
17:54
so cruel and like their kid had like a fremulum
17:57
that was two connected, and then they spoke with a
17:59
speech and a mint and it was just like, yo,
18:02
this is this is um dark. Yeah, I want to
18:08
give I want to set this parental boat off on
18:10
the right foot and just give you a bunch of
18:12
things to be in your head about. Yeah. Yeah, just
18:15
make sure at a young age that your son can
18:17
kiss good. That's what she also mentioned that, Yeah, and
18:22
doesn't have a speech impediment. I'm like, what four year
18:24
old speaks clearly what I mean? Like you the whole time,
18:27
like funk, we had the freendulum cutting. They're still talking
18:30
like you don't. I don't know whatever. I don't haven't
18:34
been around enough kids to remember how kids talk. But yes,
18:37
kids are cruel. Uh, friend, you lum is apparently any
18:47
small fold of tissue that secures the motion of a
18:50
mobile oregan. So the one under the tongue, I guess
18:54
technically is one of many. You got one in your brain,
18:58
You got one of your digestive tract. Uh, your oral
19:01
tissue is the mouth, one, penile tissue and volvular tissue. Yeah. Yeah,
19:11
I can't kiss me because my friend, you M all right,
19:17
let's take your let's take a quick freak. We'll be
19:21
right back and we're back. And uh yeah, not a
19:36
whole lot other than on the vaccine front, other than
19:40
to say that's great. Uh it's Maderna is the company
19:46
and they expect to be able to get about twenty
19:48
million out this year, so that's super dope. Hopefully, yeah,
19:55
hopefully we find it. Yeah, hopefully we find a fair
19:59
way to distribute. Um. I wish there's a way for
20:02
you to like defer yours to give it to like
20:05
an essential worker, you know what I mean, because I
20:08
feel like they're I God, you just hope that that's
20:12
you know, this administration, you know, I mean if you
20:15
knowledge the Biden administration, because I don't watch fake Fox
20:18
News because I'm not gonna stop the steal. But if
20:21
they come into power and which looks like it will happen,
20:25
if they are going to have humane policies like or
20:28
it's just gonna be like or we'll do it so
20:30
like rich people can front like their essential workers and
20:33
they can get it real quick. Like there's a way
20:35
to game it, because there's always a way to game it.
20:37
And that's what I'm really concerned, because I would want
20:39
nothing more I would feel very fucked up and guilty
20:43
knowing I was having access to this ship and knowing
20:46
I have the privilege just screaming my bedroom all day
20:48
for work, just thinking about the you compared to the draft,
20:53
thinking about the fact that college students were able to defer,
20:57
like you couldn't hopefully you couldn't get away with that ship.
21:00
Now right now that like we've kind of uncovered the
21:03
fact that college is just like a training ground for
21:06
like class classism. Hopefully they're not like, well, we're going
21:11
to give it to college students first. Yeah, because I
21:17
know Fauci has been like they say, high risk, high
21:20
risk population will get it first, and I'm sure that's
21:23
like with people with like co morbidities, like when they
21:25
mean like physically, like if you got it, you fucked
21:28
around and you cannot find out what it will do
21:30
to you. So yes, right, and then you'd hope after
21:35
that it's like okay, and then now if you have
21:37
to go to like you're working alongside people and you're
21:40
at a higher risk because of the nature of your work,
21:42
please give that to those people. Um, but just by definition,
21:47
you could just safely say it's black and brown people
21:50
just looking at the data that you would want to
21:52
emphasize where this is going aside from the elderly, but
21:55
we look at the death the deaths in the hospitalization
21:58
its disproportionately hitting black and yeah, um, in Chicago it's
22:03
something wild like one in three Latin X people. The
22:08
infection rate is like one in three. It's really really yeah.
22:14
I mean, like if everything that has their version. But
22:16
like when you look at ship like that, you're like,
22:18
how can you like, how can any I know how
22:22
administrations can continue to ignore this ship because it costs
22:25
money and it me it eats into people's you know,
22:27
yacht money. But you'd hope, fuck like look at that
22:30
and say, this is a very easy thing. The problem
22:33
presented itself to us, and now we can go directly
22:35
at it and handle it. Yeah. They always have just
22:38
enough evidence to convince themselves that it's not a race.
22:42
They always have just enough, you know. And in this
22:45
case it is also you know, a poverty thing. But
22:47
that tends to skew heavily black and brown. Uh okay,
22:53
but ninety four point five that's good efficacy, man, Yeah,
22:56
that's really good. I mean we were shocked and FDA
22:59
is well like fifty, right, there will be like, okay,
23:01
you gotta hit at least fifty yeah, right, and that's
23:05
something that we'd be willing to distribute. Yeah, because I
23:08
mean the we'll still do flu flu shots in years
23:11
when it's like I think they've been as low as right. So, man,
23:16
I was just listening to like people who you know,
23:19
I respect, who have politics that like are not you know,
23:25
they're not like right wing anti actors. But they were like, yeah,
23:29
I never get flu shots. I would never I would
23:31
never get flu shots. And that's precious big difference between
23:38
never get and would never get right right, right, Yeah, Yeah,
23:42
it's like I just haven't had insurance. Your problem. All right,
23:48
let's talk about how COVID is currently spreading. You know,
23:52
we're still ahead of mass distribution of any vaccines, and
23:57
the numbers are the worst they've ever been, and we're
24:01
seeing that it's worse in rural counties now than it
24:04
is in cities, despite the fact that you know, in
24:08
its natural state, the disease would spread more in cities
24:12
because there's just more contact between people and more environments
24:17
where you would be transmissing transmitting the disease from one
24:22
person to the other, but right now it is raging
24:26
out of control in places like South Dakota, Montana. Um,
24:32
you know, so, I don't know. This Time magazine I've
24:36
always had, Time is currently a garbage publication, and they
24:41
wrote this article that treated it as a mystery that
24:44
Trump got the most support in counties where the virus
24:48
is the worst, as as that they're like, I don't know,
24:52
I mean maybe you know, they're they're just voters said
24:57
the coronavirus was the most important fact are in choosing
25:00
who they voted for. And then the fact that Trump
25:05
voters like, we're in counties that were where was the worst. Um,
25:09
it's obviously because Trump has told them not to wear masks,
25:13
and so it's the causal direction is not that they
25:18
live in counties where the disease is bad and are
25:22
therefore Trump supporters. It's that they're Trump supporters and the
25:25
culture in those counties as such that, uh, it's seen
25:29
as shameful to wear a mask or like behave as
25:34
the disease is dangerous. You're not gonna come over and
25:37
kick it raw with the homies, Okay, I see you,
25:41
Oh wow you Okay, you will cover up? Okay, what
25:44
do you a sailor. I don't know what the funk. Yeah,
25:47
it's it's it's just again, it's all about just like
25:49
feeling of not wanting to be in touch with your
25:51
own mortality. I mean, that's like some of them. You know.
25:54
It just turns out in counties where people love to sin,
25:56
people also like like the devil a lot people love
26:01
in these high sin counties. Right right, There's a nurse
26:05
in South Dakota who was talking about how, like multiple
26:09
of her patients, it's not just like one off, but
26:11
like many of her patients in South Dakota who died
26:15
of COVID insists that COVID isn't real, like with their
26:18
dying breath. You want me to play that clip? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
26:22
she's she was actually un CNN here she is. Yeah.
26:25
I think the hardest thing to watch is that people
26:27
are still looking for something else and they want a
26:31
magic answer, and they don't want to believe that COVID
26:33
is real. And the reason I tweeted what I did
26:36
is it wasn't one particular patient. It's just a culmination
26:39
of so many people and their last dying words are
26:45
this can be happening. It's not real. And when they
26:47
should be spending time face timing their families, they're filled
26:51
with anger and hatred. Wow that's fucking dark. Uh. You
26:59
know you on some level you think like at a
27:01
certain point like wow, like this could be happening. But
27:04
when you full like to that point where you're completely
27:07
in denial about what has happened to you, that sounds
27:11
fucking awful. But fuck, yeah, this can't be happening. It's
27:17
not real. It's like you're in this ic you and
27:20
we're telling you and I, oh man, but yeah, that
27:23
being the mortality can fucking just shake people to their core.
27:26
And I think if it's not you know, I think
27:29
it's I don't know, somewhat cultural to like your how
27:33
death is treated in your culture, Like if it's something
27:36
that's like, oh my god, it's the worst thing that
27:37
could ever happen. I never wanted to happen anyone I know. No, No,
27:40
like that can definitely you're setting yourself up to have
27:43
a lot to to push back against. Two other times,
27:47
if death is very normal or like the process of
27:49
it is seen as like part of the pattern of
27:52
how you live and move and how life moves, and
27:54
it may be a little bit different, but I mean
27:57
regardless of you know, what their beliefs are that got
27:59
into that point, just the idea to be so hopeless
28:02
and helpless, um and like be have your physical body
28:07
expiring and you're in total state of disbelief. But it
28:10
sounds like should I think of what I'm like too high? Yeah?
28:14
Being really but that's real, you know, yeah, yeah, a
28:17
little bit of acid. That's when you think about that
28:19
type of stuff. Yeah, you're like, what if you didn't,
28:21
like if you don't want it to happen, but you
28:22
have to die anyway, But it just doesn't seem real.
28:25
And then they're telling you just like oh no, no no,
28:26
please stop, please stop, please stop. Yeah, yeah, I mean
28:29
I think this is also a good indication that for
28:31
anybody who thinks like this ship is going away after
28:34
Trump or that like Trump Trump is um is a
28:38
like small simple like you know he just figured some
28:42
hack out. Uh. These people are like willing to die
28:46
for this ship, Like yeah, stupid And that's just like
28:49
how deep the like American propaganda machine goes like that's
28:54
not just like they didn't just start being susceptible to
28:58
things like that because Truck got elected. You know, got
29:01
elected because they were susceptible to believes like that, you know,
29:05
and it's based on such a fucking strong foundation of
29:08
misinformation where you're just like, okay, you just don't even
29:11
like have a foundation of knowledge to say, like this
29:16
is the reality that I'm seeing right in front of me,
29:18
you know what I'm saying. It's like it's all like
29:21
the reality is completely derived off of like cues they
29:24
get from the TV or their Facebook feed, Like that's
29:27
where they're like, there's no thinking happening inside. It's like, Okay,
29:30
what are they saying today? Okay, that's what's real. Because
29:33
so many times I was watching a lot of clips too,
29:35
and like live streams from the MAGA rally in d
29:38
C and hearing people even try and actually explain what's happening,
29:43
Like there wasn't a single person who could articulate what
29:47
they were pushing back against, what their risks were for
29:50
them personally, that was motivating them in the first place.
29:53
And it was all just boilerplate like Fox News talking
29:56
points of like I love the Constitution and Joe Biden
29:59
is again did and they're like, well what do you mean.
30:01
It's like, oh, well, you know, we're not gonna have freedom,
30:04
and it's like what does but like, but what about
30:07
for you personally? I mean, this is just it's just
30:09
the wrong direction. I don't know Trump's good for us.
30:12
And they're like, women are like, well what happened? Like
30:14
for women? What is is there's anything specific? I mean,
30:16
look what he did for the how many ceilings he
30:19
broke in his cabinet with women And they're like, what
30:22
do you mean? It's like, well, they're through. Yeah, I
30:25
don't know even then, like the concept of like the
30:28
glass ceiling wasn't even it was a thing that they
30:30
heard but hadn't fully like lived or experienced or understood
30:34
to be able to say like that is actually why
30:35
I'm It resonates with me. It's sort of like I
30:38
don't know, man, I'm just taking what I'm just regurgitating
30:40
what I'm hearing, and that's become my belief system. Yeah.
30:43
One of the best clips I saw in the past
30:45
couple of days is a dude like explaining is only
30:48
tangentially connected, but explaining like the causes of the Civil War,
30:52
and he was like, yeah, this slavery was only one
30:54
of the causes. You know, there were several causes, and
30:56
the guys like, okay, we'll name three. He's like, well,
31:00
I'm not a historian. Uh oh yeah, right yeah, and
31:04
then he's lay something yeah and he's like, well, it's
31:06
about tyranny and uh and he's like what is tyranny.
31:09
Tyranny is when you know, you, uh, you you take
31:12
away somebody's liberties too much? Is oh you mean like slaveries,
31:16
like just speechless, yeah, like that's but yeah, but again,
31:25
that's what and that's what's unfortunate is that these people
31:28
are able to hear these messages, they resonate for whatever reason,
31:32
and then they just move forward with that. And it's
31:33
the same way to like, even with the curve, like
31:35
the patterns and voting, Trump was thriving in the places
31:39
that were economically dying. Yeah, and again, and that makes
31:43
total sense because for like, for all the times people
31:46
will be like, I understand how Republicans can just vote
31:48
against their own interests. It's not that they're voting against
31:51
their own interests. They've just been hypnotized into believing that
31:54
they're the state they're in is due to these completely
31:57
bullshit reasons that have nothing to do with why that's
32:00
the situation there on the diet of like xenophobia and
32:03
racism rather than like understanding economics and and agreed that
32:07
exists within you know, the corporate class, and they have
32:10
this belief that voting against their interests now is not
32:14
going to be the case in a few years because
32:16
they're eventually going to be a millionaire or a billionaire,
32:19
and so they do have to worry about Joe Biden's
32:22
tax plan or whatever, when in reality they have the
32:24
fucking uh yeah, you know, there there was there was
32:28
that one meme. I don't know if you saw. It
32:30
was like it looked like a college dorm room that
32:32
was just inundated with like soda, beer cans, pizza boxes,
32:36
like video game remotes and like the guys like playing games.
32:39
He's like, yeah, I'm just worried about Biden's tax and
32:42
that's the only thing for me. And you're like, yeah,
32:43
that that just looks about right. Yeah. Kai Choice on
32:48
Twitter had one of these, uh posted one of those
32:50
like Amazon just like shitty tables, the one you just
32:56
like screw together. She was like, Yeah, if you got
32:57
this table in your living room, you don't gotta worry
32:59
about It's tax plan right right exactly. There are a
33:03
lot of memes like that. It's like if your walls
33:05
look like this, and it was like vertical wood paneling
33:07
from like the eighties and seventies, Like you ain't got
33:10
to worry about the tax plane. Man. I wish Biden
33:14
was as far to the left as those people are
33:16
worried that he is. Yeah, they think it's the start
33:21
second coming up, who knows. My favorite thing about about
33:25
this whole election process is like at every turn the
33:28
Republican talking point is basically like, hey, that dude's a
33:31
good person, and then the Democrats like, no, no, no,
33:33
i am absolutely not. I am not I'm for fracking.
33:38
I am not a socialist. I am right. No, Like, yeah,
33:42
fun the earth. I'm here to funk the earth, just
33:44
like guys, I'm all in on earth fucking. I'll blow
33:47
it up right the fun out. You want to try me, Actually,
33:51
we just changed our campaign, Biden, Harris, frack around and
33:54
find out. I'll this place an indigenous person right now,
34:00
try me right exactly for these votes in small pockets
34:04
of the country. Yeah, it's really something one of the
34:06
people Biden the Biden campaign has announced as part of
34:09
their transition team was somebody who had vocally supported separation
34:16
of uh why to defend it legally in court? Right right? Yeah?
34:21
Legally sorry, legally and vocally h Cecilia Munus Yeah yeah
34:27
uh John. Also if the dude who's running in the
34:30
runoff in Georgia for Senate did an interview where he
34:34
just rattled off a bunch of points where he's like, no,
34:36
I don't support medicare for all. No, I don't support
34:38
free college or whatever and all these things, and just like,
34:42
but you just did like we're doing that over this, Yeah,
34:46
come on. But again it's but that shows you too.
34:49
I don't know who knows what you know, what kind
34:50
of leash pulling is happening at the d n C.
34:53
To be like, you want me to if we can
34:54
cut this money off from over here, will yeah, if
34:56
you want. But also they need to, like democrats need
35:00
to put asses in the seats, So you should just
35:02
be like, Okay, what worked in Georgia. Let's listen to
35:05
the fucking people on the ground that did it with
35:07
barely little money, rather than Bloomberg's of the world that
35:10
farted away a hundred million and all for what all
35:15
that spending in Florida, and you completely miss missed the
35:18
fucking what the actual activity was on the ground. I
35:21
think Bloomberger was just trying to buy his way onto SNL, Right,
35:27
how bad. Yeah, he's just like I really just love
35:30
fred Armison's work, you know, I think, uh, I think
35:33
she's the ideal person to portray me, you know. And
35:38
I'll drop a hundred mill to get it done. I'll
35:40
do it. I'll buy the show. Don't don't test me.
35:43
I'll buy NBC if I have. But but I'll do
35:45
it incredibly indirectly in a way, the most ready way. Yeah.
35:52
And it's not clear what my intent is at all
35:54
with just going back to the out of control spread
35:59
of COVID night teen, Like, it is a situation where
36:03
so the curve is basically the same across America, Right,
36:06
It's just that it's like slightly lower, uh, Like the
36:11
Biden counties are below the Trump counties, but they have
36:14
the same they're drawing the same picture essentially, Yeah, the
36:17
same directionally, they're the same. Um and people in Germany
36:24
are beyond contact tracing, Like basically they they're saying that
36:28
over fifty percent of the new cases in these countries
36:32
including the United States, Germany, France, Uh, the UK, don't know, Spain,
36:38
don't know where these new cases are coming from. Like
36:42
whereas in Asian countries that like did contact tracing from
36:46
the beginning, Uh, they are still able to figure out, okay,
36:50
you got it from this person and like kind of
36:53
keep a like map it out a little bit, whereas
36:55
in the United States is just like we're flying blind essentially.
36:59
And I think it has to do with the individualism
37:03
to death. Were individualism ng ourselves to death? I just
37:07
can't think like that. You know what, when we tried
37:11
to do contact tracing, I think it was we did
37:14
a maximum of like four contacts, and in Korea I
37:19
think it was ten contacts. So they're you know, they're
37:23
able to understand. I think just like conceive of people
37:28
as part of a collective, you know, part of a planet.
37:34
You know that you are a nation in which you
37:37
want to look out for your people and citizens as
37:45
the rest of this country. Yeah. Yeah, speaking of a
37:51
Trump conceded, Wait, no he didn't. He had a tweet
37:56
over the weekend where he was like Biden one because
37:59
the election was rigged. No vote watchers are observers allowed,
38:05
and everyone's like, wait he won because okay, okay, wait
38:10
a second. The seconds later, yeah, he tweets he only
38:15
went in the eyes of the fake news media, I
38:16
can see nothing. We have a long way to go.
38:19
This is a rigged election. It's like someone's been like, yo,
38:21
did you It feels like someone texted him like not
38:24
that this happened, but the kind of ship is like
38:25
he tweeted that, and someone goes, yo, you can see.
38:28
Bro's like like, Yo, your tweet looked like you conceded. Bro,
38:32
I'm not gonna lie. This just looks like some I
38:35
can I can see nothing. Yeah, I've conceded nothing. Yeah,
38:39
He's like, they do I believe in nothing. I'm a nihilist.
38:43
I believe in nothing. Yeah. Really I can see nothing. Okay,
38:48
I get it. I get it. Uh so, yeah, that
38:51
was an interesting back and forth. Mean, when then he's
38:53
just tweeting, firing off all kinds of just chock full
38:57
of bullshit tweets about the election, the results as you
39:01
would believe he would and all that, or during the
39:05
million mega March, which uh they can't they were you know, unfortunately.
39:11
Well I'm just saying in d C they were only
39:12
able to conjure about ten people up, uh to to
39:16
show up for this thing, and you know it's I
39:19
mean it was. However, there were violent clashes between these
39:23
people and you know, counter protesters, but they had so
39:27
much police protection. Some of these clips I was watching,
39:30
I thought I was looking at a like city sanctioned
39:34
parade through this city, like rather than some kind of protest.
39:37
It felt like there were police like on the perimeter
39:40
and be like, yep, just don't you know, keep waving
39:42
your Confederate flags in the streets, no problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
39:47
I wish I remembered who said this, but somebody was like,
39:50
what uh When people ask where the police when the
39:52
KKK shows up, he's like, where the fund is Peter
39:54
Parker when Spider Man shows up? Exactly the same dude, exact. Mean,
40:00
that's pretty good. There's this hologram police officer. Yeah. This
40:04
other thing is like they the other screams that are
40:08
going on is all like fuck Fox News, were done
40:10
with Fox. The big thing where there are people being
40:13
like Joe Biden, we reject Joe Biden. He's not our president.
40:18
We will do whatever we have to, and people are like,
40:20
it's funny like even when this dude is screaming until
40:23
it's like juggulars blowing on his neck, like even the
40:25
people around him are like yeah, like and he's like,
40:29
we gotta take our undream back. This is on Fox.
40:32
This is just like random you know, on Twitter looking
40:34
at people do live feeds, other journalists just capturing clips
40:37
of like the you know, pockets of activity throughout the
40:40
million magal March. But it's just interesting because like, it
40:43
really is this energy of I granted there were many
40:46
Democrats whore like not my president or whatever, but not
40:49
in the sense that it was like I'm I'm rebelling
40:52
against the country, like because it's not like those are
40:56
the exact stakes for people. But these people are like
40:59
acting like, oh, Bining is not my new dad and
41:02
they never will be, so I don't ask me to
41:05
call him dad. And it's just like, yo, what what
41:08
do we do with that energy? You know what I mean?
41:10
Like I feel like because in one way, if it
41:12
were the step child or parents situation, like Okay, I'm
41:14
not your dad, Okay, so then you're gonna you're gonna
41:16
start paying these bills, you gonna go to work, you're
41:19
gonna start cooking and cleaning. Like, I don't know if
41:21
there's a way to step dad. Uh, these maga people,
41:23
but that energy is definitely there of just like with
41:28
their body being like, he's not that the president. I
41:31
don't care what anyone says. It's like, oh, I'm not
41:34
the I'm not the president. Okay, how about you gotta
41:36
you gotta order these drone tricks. You gotta, you gotta
41:40
we're gonna do these war crimes. Yeah, who's gonna who's
41:44
gonna install Who's who's war crimes? Who's gonna install neoliberal
41:49
despot in the global South? Huh? You you because it's
41:54
if I'm not the president. Okay, all right, probably you
41:59
don't even You couldn't even point a Yemen on a map.
42:01
That's what I That's what I thought. Yeah, point to
42:05
the oil rich nations on the on the map. Huh exactly.
42:08
You don't even know where the emerging nations are losing
42:11
out of here. Go to your room, clean it up.
42:13
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
42:15
right back. All right, great, bit a plus and we're
42:19
going to break and we're back. And before we move
42:33
on from the Trump administration's response to to the election.
42:38
We want to check in with with their legal cases
42:42
because you know, this is the fate of the country
42:46
hangs in the balance. Are they are they going to
42:49
be able to stop that steel? It's um so, I
42:53
mean they do. They took some fucking ass kickings in
42:57
the court over the last few days, Like we're to
43:00
the point where the judge like, probably you're wasting my
43:02
time with this ship. Uh. And you know, on Sunday,
43:06
on the Sunday shows, every like uh, like I believe
43:10
every Republican senator declined to go and meet the press,
43:13
like they no one wanted to talk to anyone about anything.
43:16
So then Fox News kind of became this like weird
43:19
graveyard and that what they did was at a certain point,
43:22
Um Sydney Powell, who was on the legal team for
43:25
Trump's you know, steel stopping squad, uh, came on to
43:31
talk to Maria Barter Romo and just so you know,
43:34
prior to this, over the weekend, Trump was like, I
43:36
now proclaim Rudy Giuliani spearhead of all of my legal efforts,
43:41
and we're like, thank god he followed his worst instincts
43:43
on this and hired this horny old goblin who don't
43:47
know how to wear air pods. So this moment, we
43:50
have Sydney Powell coming on Maria Bardaromo. She's trying, you know,
43:53
like she's definitely all in to try and help the president,
43:57
but even throwing underhanders to his legal team, like they
44:00
can't fucking articulate a single thing, like not even anything
44:04
that resembles a legal argument. So this is Sydney Powell
44:07
with some real low energy scamming about how the president
44:11
actually has millions of votes that need to be counted
44:13
because we're fixing to overturn the results of the election
44:16
and multiple states and President Trump won by not just
44:22
hundreds of thousands of but by millions of votes that
44:26
were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for
44:29
that purpose. So they're talking about the dominion voting machines, which, yeah,
44:36
because it wasn't the other things, it wasn't the poll watchers.
44:38
They're like hot potato, like jumping from rock to rug. No,
44:41
that's not actually about this now, No, okay, that one
44:43
didn't work. Now it's about this. So barter Romo actually
44:46
follows up because you know, like anything, she's like, okay, great,
44:49
like great, millions of votes. How do we do this?
44:52
Like put us on, put me on, get get thee give,
44:55
give us a taste, drop the mixtape. We have so
44:57
much evidence. I feel like it's coming in through a fire. Huse. Wow.
45:02
So Sydney, you feel that you will be able to
45:05
prove this? Do you have the software in your possession?
45:08
Do you have the hardware in your possession? How will
45:10
you prove this, Sydney? Well, I've got lots of ways
45:15
to prove it, Maria, but I'm not gonna tell on
45:17
national TV what all we have. I just can't do that. Okay,
45:24
but you have very Okay. It feels like when you
45:32
ask a kid like who who broke the vase and
45:35
they're like, no, no, uh it was it was, you know,
45:40
because you told me not to. Oh you got Oh
45:45
you got a girlfriend who goes to San Diego State University.
45:47
You in eighth grade? How you got a girlfriend goes
45:49
to college? Prove it? Prove it to you? Yeah? I
45:53
got don't Yeah yeah, no, Just that's my cousin. You
45:58
think I'm I'm not gonna flex in front of everybody
46:00
like that, you know, like that's that's in poor taste.
46:05
I'm not gonna dunk on the Nation on Foxnooze right now.
46:08
But yeah, it really is even everything like it's like
46:11
we've got it in a fire hose and millions of
46:15
like even they're just so much evidence coming in. It's
46:19
not gonna happen the legal route. Any fuckery is going
46:22
to have to happen some other ways. What have I
46:23
just watched walked on stage at a show. It was
46:27
just like, yeah, bro, I got so many fucking jokes
46:29
you don't even know I got. Look, I'm not going
46:34
to do them all right now because I don't want
46:36
to like blow the whole thing. But like I got oh,
46:38
I got jokes per days understand, Like I gotta save
46:42
it for the special. The joke is this, yo, I
46:49
gotta you know, it's gonna go on Netflix. You can
46:51
watch it on Netflix later. But like, right, I can't
46:54
do it all right now. I can't do it all
46:56
right now. I've been like, you know, you know what
46:58
I'm saying. I've just been writing so much. I got
47:00
so many thoughts in my head. It's like it's coming
47:02
out of a fire hose. I can I can tell
47:06
you what a couple of the jokes are about. But
47:09
I can't tell me that actual jokes right here on right,
47:13
it's actually more like a comedian. Yeah, it's actually more
47:17
like you're you're on Netflix doing your specials on national TV,
47:23
and you're like, I can't do these jokes on National
47:26
TV on what if HBO? What if HBO calls huh?
47:32
What if? I won't do it on HBO either ship,
47:38
But believe these jokes are top rate A one. Yeah.
47:43
So and the stop the steel? Did they stop the steel?
47:46
Do we know the people who showed up? They did not.
47:49
Trump did drive by them at one point on his
47:52
way to go golfing, and it was interesting to hear
47:55
the people's response to that, where they were just like
48:00
he drove by. There's like an eyewitnesses um like journalist
48:04
account of like somebody was just like hunched down, like
48:08
rocking back and forth, being like he was right there.
48:13
If he passes away before the mental gymnastics, these people
48:18
are going to do, I can't even imagine what Like
48:22
there's no way on earth where there's not some conspiracy
48:26
tied to what however he physically expires, whether through old
48:29
days or Anything's like, no, man, you see the doctor
48:32
that was working on him, went to this school and
48:34
his professor was this guy who actually knows Van Jones
48:37
and blah blah blah. It's like, yeah, reality, he just
48:41
leaned too far forward. Yeah right, just those lips were
48:46
a little too much on the back. Yeah, he died.
48:48
He died looking like Michael Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video.
48:53
Got got his heels hooked because heels hooked in a
48:56
fucking floorboard and just fell over. Right, he does not
49:00
look stable in his feet. All right, let's talk about
49:03
what this lockdown is doing to our brains. Uh, Miles,
49:07
you brought a article from the BBC about a kind
49:11
of a study or I don't know where were they
49:13
using science or speculation? Well, they are using science, and
49:17
then just what neuro neuroscientists just know to be true
49:20
about how our brains work and like and and a
49:23
lot of people like experts themselves experiencing it too. I've
49:27
not Yeah. Yeah, like my grandfather, he's ninety three, and
49:32
he he used to go to his church social group
49:36
and do ship like that. But it's all old people
49:38
that he hangs out with, so that that's gone down.
49:40
He's like less talkative. I mean, it's very pronounced they say,
49:44
and like especially like convalescent homes and uh like you know,
49:48
old folks homes for lack of a better term. And
49:51
so they're saying, you know, the lack of socializing and
49:54
isolation is definitely a contributing factor to how like our
49:57
memories are even being informed and store ward. So you know,
50:02
the isolation part I think most people can figure out,
50:04
because yeah, like we're just we've completely changed the rhythm
50:07
of our days. But you know a lot of things
50:10
is like it's these smaller conversations where if we don't
50:14
feel you know, like any kind of talk you have
50:17
by the refrigerator, a water cooler, by the elevator, walking
50:20
in somewhere, walking out somewhere, like we're always just like talking,
50:24
like we always just have something to tell, like talk
50:26
about we can talk about what we did last night,
50:28
what we're doing this weekend, what even some dumb ship
50:31
you talked about your friend with on the phone. And
50:34
that repetition of stories, apparently they're saying that helps to
50:37
actually keep our memories sort of consolidated and organized within
50:41
our minds. So like they call them episodic memories. So
50:44
if we don't if we're missing on that socializing aspect,
50:47
it's those things don't crystallize in the same way they
50:50
do and like, oh, I'm I'm telling my weekend story
50:52
three times today, you know, like you it's like you
50:54
know that that momentum helps build our memories. And then
50:58
when we do get the chance to chat, they're saying like,
51:01
because we are isolated and we aren't having we're not
51:04
doing as much as we normally do, we also have
51:06
fewer stories to tell when we see each other, Like
51:10
it's just kind of like we're almost like, yeah, how's
51:12
it been, Like I don't like everyone's kind of in
51:14
the same thing where we we look at the same
51:16
we sit in the same place, like at the same screen,
51:18
do the same thing, and they're because of like this
51:21
sort of cycle of very little change, it slowly works
51:26
its way into, you know, affecting our ability to form
51:29
and recall memories, because even like it's something as simple
51:31
as people feel like holy sh it, Like normally I
51:33
can remember my fucking teachers from kindergarten on I can
51:37
tell you every single fucking teacher I had. And it's
51:39
like the other day it took me fifteen minutes to
51:41
remember who this teacher was or whatever, And that's all
51:44
part of just kind of like we're not fully using
51:47
all of those faculties as much as we can be
51:49
as a result of this lockdown. Yeah, I was, I
51:53
was saying. I think early on, like I had the
51:56
same feeling as when I would always park in the
52:00
same parking garage. And like after it was like six
52:04
months of parking in the same parking garage because like
52:06
all those memories just like kind of collapsed on each other.
52:11
I could never remember where the funk my car was
52:13
because it was just all like one endless expanse of
52:17
memories of that parking garage. I feel like, same deal
52:21
with now. Just like being at home constantly working recording
52:26
from home, you just don't have the those events that
52:29
get your heart rate up a little bit, where you like,
52:32
you know, go somewhere, drive to work, getting mad at
52:35
the person who cut you off, go to work, tell
52:38
people about the person who cut you off. You know,
52:41
just dumb ship that we take for granted. That is
52:44
like what you know, our our brain is meant to
52:47
have that social interaction. Um, I'm loving the hell out
52:51
of not having to, you know, because I have social anxiety.
52:54
Not having to be anxious around people all the time,
52:58
but I don't think overall it's good for my health
53:01
and for my mental health. Yeah, that anxiety is a
53:04
good long term Yeah, I feel like I feel like
53:06
this past week has been like the first maybe like
53:09
one of two times I've left New York and definitely
53:13
the only time I've left my home for an extended period.
53:16
I feel like it's the most granted it was last week,
53:19
but I feel like it's just the most vivid string
53:23
of memories that I've had six months. But yeah, because
53:27
that's what it is when we're just isolated and we've
53:30
especially for people who work from home, you just we
53:32
don't have these cues that we normally have, like even commuting, right,
53:36
Like you use your hippocampus to like navigate the earth
53:40
to get home to your destination. And when you don't
53:43
do that that we're starting to like we're using that less.
53:47
And then also like everyone's on the same we sit
53:49
in the same chair, looking at the same zoom meeting,
53:52
he's talking to the same people. Like that also blends
53:54
around and like this neuroscientists saying, it's like it's like
53:56
playing It's like you need black keys on a piano
53:59
or else. You don't know where the funk you're at
54:00
if it's all white keys. And that's what happens with
54:03
our our memories because we're not punctuating things properly, like yeah,
54:08
they're there, but our way to differentiate is completely lost
54:11
because we don't navigate like the roads like we used to.
54:15
If we do things, it might be the same thing.
54:17
So a way to get around that is something like
54:19
as simple as like if you walk your dogs or
54:22
you go on walks, go a completely fucking different route
54:25
because most of the time we'll walk the same fucking
54:27
route just to be like, oh it's time to do
54:29
my walk or I'm gonna go here. Do just do
54:32
ship like that because the more you're putting yourself in different,
54:34
different space, you're now looking at new ship. You might
54:37
hear different ship. It's just like these subtle changes to
54:40
that can help go a long way. And even if
54:43
you're stuck at home and you really can't go outside,
54:45
like they say, even just try something completely different, like
54:48
if you've never fucked with puzzles, like just fucking like
54:51
give yourself something to try too. Because the more we
54:55
can break up the monotony of it. That's just gonna
54:57
help sort of give our you know, lockdown lifestyle is
55:00
a little more texture that we can you know, still
55:03
remember things because if you said something to me about
55:05
May the month of May, I couldn't tell you a
55:08
fucking thing because we used to be like, oh yeah,
55:12
because I was two months before the trip that I
55:13
normally go on, which is in June. That that that that.
55:16
But because we don't have any of that, it's really
55:18
important that we're giving ourselves like enough things to stimulate
55:23
our minds even though we're comfortable that, but we still
55:25
need that flexibility with our brains. Yeah. I started, uh,
55:28
I started skateboarding at twenty nine. And the last thing
55:31
I remember before that is getting diarrhea in Ghana. It's
55:38
palm oil. Yeah. No, I I I ate beach meat, meat,
55:44
meat on the beach. I'd ate beach meat in Ghana too.
55:47
I had goat on a skewer. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
55:52
that's what I had. That's what I had. Yeah, And
55:54
I know people are like, you want to do that,
55:56
I don't know they're eating it. I'm good. Yeah, you
55:58
get sick. No. The thing that I got when I
56:01
was in Ghana was just the amount of palm oil.
56:03
Like I wasn't used to palm oil being in a
56:05
lot of food, so that was I think that was
56:08
the one thing I had to get used to, is
56:09
the amount of palm oil that's used in cooking. And yeah,
56:11
that's been my whole life. I think. I just like
56:13
I hadn't been to Africa, but since I was sixteen,
56:18
I went to Nigeria, and I think my body just
56:20
lost all the enzymes or whatever, or maybe we were cooked.
56:23
I don't know. Yeah, either way, it's always funny telling
56:27
people I got a stomach virus and then I say
56:29
it was in Ghana, and they get so much more concerned, like,
56:33
oh God, like, did you did you have visions? Yeah?
56:38
Did you like see visions? Yeah? No, no, not ourselves
56:43
and our body like completely swap out, like within a
56:47
period of six years seven seven, that's wild. We're just
56:51
like completely new organisms seven years, um seven to ten
56:56
years damn. Okay, Yeah, I knew when that happens because
57:00
I could be a little more on top of it.
57:01
You're like, yo, man, I'm about to get my whole
57:03
new cell shaped up in about two months, bro, let's talk.
57:06
You know what it's all reset Like yeah, like, trust me,
57:09
I will get to this project. I just need my
57:11
ship to reset cycle out. That will definitely be a
57:16
SPA treatment in the future where you let go and
57:18
they just like accelerate it so like get all your
57:21
cells switched out. So yeah, yeah, just let me go
57:24
re up right quick? Yeah? Oh ship? I like broccoli now,
57:28
that's wild, Yeah, because I feel like that's the same
57:32
that's the same time period they say your your sense
57:34
of taste like evolves over it's like every seven to
57:37
ten years. You oh right, you starting different foods. By
57:41
twenty I liked mushrooms finally, Yeah, mushrooms, So it was
57:45
twenty and that makes sense around if we're going by
57:47
sevens and tens and damn, that's wild. I started doing
57:49
mushrooms when I was like fifteen. Oh no. But put
57:56
that ship on a pizza. Um, one thing that I'm
58:02
probably not gonna do, but some people are doing. Uh.
58:06
The NYPD busted an illegal fight club over the weekend,
58:11
just just a warehouse of people beating the ship out
58:14
of each other and the Bronx. That's yeah. I think
58:17
it's just like you know, we've talked before about how
58:21
like cuddle parties are something that our society evolved to
58:25
like take the place of you know, being around people
58:29
and you know, just having far more jis or whatever
58:33
people used to do. They got written out of the
58:36
history books. But you say far more gis. I guess,
58:39
I don't know. I don't know what what we used
58:41
to do. Probably probably some far moregies. I don't know.
58:46
But yeah, like we we have ways of evolving huge
58:49
so that we can like get human contact. And like
58:53
I feel like fighting people might be like one of
58:56
those things that people are doing. Just like I don't
59:00
want a fight club. Yeah you you were in a
59:02
fight club. I was going a fight club in high school. Yeah, yeah,
59:06
very in what state? Alabama? Obviously. No, I went to
59:15
a very weird high school that was kind of in
59:18
the middle of nowhere, and so I lived on campus.
59:21
It was a boarding school, and so, like, I don't
59:23
remember how it evolved. I think somebody just got a
59:26
pair of boxing gloves from home and it became a
59:28
thing where we just like we were just like go
59:32
to the gym like every night for a while and
59:35
just sucking fight, just beat each other's jack and then
59:39
like um and then a librarian was there like super
59:43
late one night and like poked her head into the gym.
59:46
Didn't say anything. But then the next day they were like,
59:49
hey 'all can't do that. It's not okay, Like obvious's
59:54
like she's like, hey, let me hire to you. You're
59:56
telegraphing your jab man. Yeah, is like you're never gonna
1:00:01
make it, just like quit right now? Is Are you
1:00:04
sure you're not a south ball? I was watching you.
1:00:07
We'll talk about it. Seems like you've got a lot
1:00:09
of heart but not a lot of technique. You know
1:00:10
what I'm saying. What a weird comedy that would be.
1:00:14
You're just getting this boarding school in the fight club
1:00:16
and then the librarian is like this this woman boxer
1:00:20
tech coach, like work with you? Okay, but I mean
1:00:22
she was in she was in the gym, right, who
1:00:25
knows right exactly? Yeah, he's just training other young prospects. Yeah,
1:00:32
I mean, so was this but was this thing going on?
1:00:35
Like was this a product of pandemic or they just
1:00:38
finally caught onto the wild fight club that's been probably
1:00:40
going on for a minute. I actually don't know. I
1:00:42
feel like they had have been going on before. Yeah, probably, Well, yeah,
1:00:46
but I can't see how it would. Oh my god,
1:00:48
something straight out of anyone who listens to Bodego Boys
1:00:51
knows the culture of the Bronx. This one paragraph right here.
1:00:54
In New York City, Sheriff Joseph Fucito told gotham Is
1:00:56
that his deputies first spotted event organizers with boom v
