Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is old. This is Miles classic.
Speaker 5: Like, it's like dressing. What are we talking about?

Speaker 1: biomedical engineer. You can catch her on stages across this
Speaker 1: damn country. It's I do Michael Winslow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm the Michael Winslow.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry of.
Speaker 5: Anti police academies.
Speaker 1: Yes, the police academy.
Speaker 4: Michael Winslow of the community garden. Yeah. We like our heroes.
Speaker 5: They do not like me making noises in there.
Speaker 1: I love the I love the idea of a cop
Speaker 1: who just uses his ability to make noises as like
Speaker 1: his own weapon, because I don't I don't believe we
Speaker 1: ever saw Michael Winslow pool pull his gun, right. It
Speaker 1: was always just he found a way to like get
Speaker 1: in just like into like behind some crates and confuse
Speaker 1: some criminals with some noises.
Speaker 5: Like we don't have enough Maguiver cops, too many gang
Speaker 5: police officers nowadays, not enough people making fun noises and
Speaker 5: distracting high jinks.
Speaker 4: All I can think about is the first thing he
Speaker 4: probably thought, I was like, oh, just making the sound
Speaker 4: of a gun better than a gun, And then he
Speaker 4: very quickly found out that was a mistake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and went find a pile of crates, made this
Speaker 1: ount of a gun and then like his his fellow
Speaker 1: police officers opened fire on him.
Speaker 4: That's it. And then from then on he's like, I
Speaker 4: have to do the Rube Goldberg machine of sounds to
Speaker 4: get to the outcome I'm looking for without any like
Speaker 4: sounds that imply violins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was only one realistic cop in police academy,
Speaker 1: and it was Tackleberry, the deranged presumable recipient of a
Speaker 1: traumatic brain injury, who was also like just all guns
Speaker 1: all the time, just worried about shooting things, would shoot
Speaker 1: a fly to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that seems like he would have passed the academy.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: I mean like a officer, just like a That is
Speaker 5: the entry level exam for the Christ Academy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do when a fly is annoying you? Anyways,
Speaker 1: Paula Be, we're going to get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna just round out the week with a little
Speaker 1: grab bag of some stories. We're gonna check in with Hutchinson.
Speaker 1: Cassidy Hutchinson, that's her name, the former Trump aide who
Speaker 1: gave us a couple little details in her new book
Speaker 1: That's name I'm not going to say here, both because
Speaker 1: I failed to learn it, but also because I don't
Speaker 1: want to help yourself books. But there's some fun details
Speaker 1: from behind the scenes there. Ruper Murdoch is stepping down
Speaker 1: as the chair of Fox.
Speaker 5: No, he has so much more to give, you know,
Speaker 5: like that we went to the same place.
Speaker 4: We're just dancing on.
Speaker 5: We ready.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I've been working on a little foxtrot number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little Fox News trot number. He's so, he's
Speaker 1: ninety two, not dead yet.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, white people call it just a kid, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean?
Speaker 3: Just a kids Okay, let baby, he's just trying to learn.
Speaker 1: But we're going to talk about I guess, like why
Speaker 1: people give a shit about this. It's really like the
Speaker 1: succession of it all seems to be why people give
Speaker 1: a shit about it. And there are some good succession details,
Speaker 1: some success tales, So we'll talk about that. Talk about
Speaker 1: Bob Ross's first painting being on sale for ten million dollars. Yes,
Speaker 1: very sles being recalled for having like this is truly
Speaker 1: a nightmare. They like the thing, you know how when
Speaker 1: you strip, when you when you peel the Craft singles.
Speaker 1: They got the two like layers. I think there's like
Speaker 1: an extra layer on these ones. And people are like
Speaker 1: eating the plastic film stuck to one side of It's not.
Speaker 5: Our fault, first of all, it tastes the same.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, I like Craft singles.
Speaker 5: I think I can of all. This is discrimination against
Speaker 5: singles and I will not stand for it. The like
Speaker 5: plastic and how there's like classic and E and wrap it.
Speaker 5: There's like two layers of plastic. I guess right, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 1: Actually like two and a half because there's old.
Speaker 4: Isn't it like a little pocket.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit pocket by accident?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, they like, I don't know exactly what was happening.
Speaker 5: With this, happen to tell Americans exactly what parts of
Speaker 5: foods to eat, or we'll eat it all. We'll eat
Speaker 5: the rind, we'll eat everything. We'll eat the paper around
Speaker 5: the cheese. Tell us what we can't eat, we might
Speaker 5: still eat it. Okay.
Speaker 1: By the rind, you mean the Snickers bar wrapper, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the only rind we know of.
Speaker 4: By the rind, we mean the silica jail packet.
Speaker 5: The tide pod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how are they gonna sell some things
Speaker 1: with a silica gel packet and then other things like
Speaker 1: ramen that have a little flavor packet. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: know that, like the silica jel packets are not flavor packets.
Speaker 5: Taste like baking to me.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's the same format.
Speaker 4: Packet is a packet.
Speaker 5: Also, if it keeps it fresh, how is that not
Speaker 5: the tastiest part?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So much?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, oh man, it dries your mouth out.
Speaker 4: You know what. Then you just snap on a bunch
Speaker 4: of potpourri and then it just like honestly just keeps
Speaker 4: watering for the next like months, and then you're fine.
Speaker 5: Welcome to the La diet.
Speaker 1: So you eat a couple of silica packets and then
Speaker 1: you juice your mouth up with some pop.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just chase it with some popes.
Speaker 5: That's our new ozempaic.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We might even get to Florida Surgeon general, who appears
Speaker 1: to be the first surgeon general to have told people
Speaker 1: not to get the COVID vaccine. So that's brave. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I know Florida man applies Florida surgeon, Florida surgeon Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: killing it.
Speaker 5: It's actually it's actually a Florida sturgeon. We did mix
Speaker 5: that up.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, but it is like, you know what,
Speaker 4: what did we expect, Like one small step for Joe Rogan,
Speaker 4: one giant step for this man. Yeah, this is how
Speaker 4: it happens. Yes, just like we don't we should trust
Speaker 4: anybody about this.
Speaker 1: I'm good, We're good here. He's not the right specialty,
Speaker 1: but he's a doctor, so I think we're good. Before
Speaker 1: we get to any of that bullshit, Paul of the
Speaker 1: we have more important to cover, such as, what is
Speaker 1: something from your search history that is revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm not going to say exactly what it is,
Speaker 5: but I do. I was like, so I am Indian.
Speaker 5: Please don't tune out and have parents who are Indian?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, spoiler plot twist.
Speaker 4: Why one question is how?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was an accent?
Speaker 5: Okay, something went weird in the lab. I was fit
Speaker 5: by a radioactive guru.
Speaker 4: Honestly, that's the only reasonable life.
Speaker 5: That is science. So I talk to my dogs and
Speaker 5: like my boyfriend the way with the language that my
Speaker 5: parents used to talk to me. You know how you
Speaker 5: like learn intimacy from your parents and then like your
Speaker 5: baby voice is like how your parents talk to you.
Speaker 5: So that's like, so I use like nicknames and stuff
Speaker 5: that my parents gave me as a kid to show
Speaker 5: like affection, but sometimes I use them inaccurately because I'm
Speaker 5: not like from India, so I don't know. So I
Speaker 5: was like making sure that one of the nicknames I
Speaker 5: called my boyfriend was like accurate and it means like
Speaker 5: little girl, but it was accurate, my little baby girl.
Speaker 5: But it's but like my dad like, for example, like
Speaker 5: sometimes he calls me raja, which means king, so it's
Speaker 5: not always like gender specific, so I'm like gonna keep
Speaker 5: calling him that. But yeah, I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 5: am I am I Indian enough to know this? Like
Speaker 5: I'm just like googling my own culture, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. I'm like this thing that I've been called
Speaker 5: my entire life? Do I know what that means?
Speaker 4: This is how I know I'm fucking Eastern European because
Speaker 4: I'm like, huh, never had this happen? Oh oh, that's
Speaker 4: because my Ukrainian family does not use enferments. Yeah, there's
Speaker 4: no mystery there or solved it seconds. Okay, that's so
Speaker 4: fun amazing.
Speaker 1: I do really love that your dad calls you king.
Speaker 4: That's okay.
Speaker 5: My friend Arlow, very funny comedian from Portland, they call me.
Speaker 5: I love Arlow. They call me tiny king one time,
Speaker 5: and I was like, this is the correct gender expression
Speaker 5: for me? Like I don't. I have a lot of
Speaker 5: questions about my gender, but that was right. You know
Speaker 5: what I mean. I am a tiny king. I'm not
Speaker 5: a short king. I'm like a tiny king, do you
Speaker 5: know what I mean? So I'm like, it's always been
Speaker 5: that way. My dad just knew.
Speaker 1: You know, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Okay, this might end my relationship, but I'm not going
Speaker 5: to say it because it's not overrated, because it's just
Speaker 5: that I had misconceived or notions going into it. My
Speaker 5: boyfriend is a sneaker head, okay, and since dating him,
Speaker 5: I have upped my sneaker game one thousand percent. I
Speaker 5: have so many more shoes than I've ever had. At
Speaker 5: the beginning of dating, we were walking through a mall
Speaker 5: and there was a guy who was like doing the
Speaker 5: shoe cleaning, and he was trying to get us to
Speaker 5: like get our shoes clean, and he yelled out, do
Speaker 5: you want shoe cleaning. It'll help your relationship. Like, that's
Speaker 5: how bad my shoes were getting roasted. But it's dude,
Speaker 5: because my dogs eat my shoes. I never give a shit.
Speaker 5: So I bought all these like new nikes, and they're amazing.
Speaker 5: They make me feel better. They're wonderful. But I will
Speaker 5: say the culture around it. I know everybody, like men,
Speaker 5: women on binary people wear it. It is heels for men.
Speaker 5: They are not comfortable. Okay, they're esthetically pleasing. I was like,
Speaker 5: they're gym shoes, they're sneakers, They're going to be so comfortable.
Speaker 5: How they're not comfortable. Just know that going in for
Speaker 5: anyone dating a newly dating a sneaker head or getting
Speaker 5: into it, I had no idea. Okay, so that's that.
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite high tops are like some of
Speaker 1: the heaviest things that any human has ever worn on
Speaker 1: their feet.
Speaker 4: Like my Kyris feel like ashes on my feet. I'm like,
Speaker 4: there's no so bautible.
Speaker 5: They're wonderful and I feel amazing like performing in them,
Speaker 5: I'm actually caring where I step Now. I used to
Speaker 5: just walk through mud and stuff, and now I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: I do care about how I appear in my feet,
Speaker 5: you know, my footwear. But like it's nice to invest
Speaker 5: in yourself. But oh my god, I thought there would
Speaker 5: be patting. I'm like, these people play basketball and are athletes?
Speaker 5: Do they just suffer all around and expect me to what.
Speaker 4: You're like, I don't have a Michael Jordan's salary to
Speaker 4: walk around in these all the time, Like what.
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan's self esteem? Like, I'm so lazy?
Speaker 1: Are Like, I think the threes are really comfortable of
Speaker 1: the joy if you're talking about Jordan's. The threes are
Speaker 1: super comfortable in my experience, But it's a real crap shoot.
Speaker 1: The ones like the first Air Jordans, which are like
Speaker 1: kind of the coolest ones, the most classic ones that
Speaker 1: like you know, they're amazing. They there's a scene in
Speaker 1: the Last Dance where Jordan, like out of some sense
Speaker 1: of sentimentality, plays his last game at Madison Square Garden
Speaker 1: in Jordan Ones and his feet are bleeding, like actively bleeding.
Speaker 1: It's truly like it's the most like openly I've ever
Speaker 1: seen a corporation admit that their product sucks outside of Dominoes,
Speaker 1: where they're just like, yeah, these are bad, man, These
Speaker 1: shoes are bad.
Speaker 5: I like, it's so because you look at them and
Speaker 5: you're like they have to be comfortable, which is like
Speaker 5: put something in there, and it's that. That's the only
Speaker 5: thing is like I never want to hear men planning
Speaker 5: about like women's feet hurting because it's like, I know
Speaker 5: yours are too. Okay, You've just been keeping it quiet
Speaker 5: this whole damn time and selling these shoes.
Speaker 1: Cry in the Yeah, I suppose.
Speaker 5: Now I will too. This tiny king is repressing their tears.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the team, Rajah says.
Speaker 1: I got yeah, I got one pair of like one
Speaker 1: of my favorite pairs of shoes I ever got were
Speaker 1: these like collabor collaborations between Air Jordan and the Levi's
Speaker 1: Jean brand.
Speaker 5: And the you Got Juice jagging shoes.
Speaker 7: That's about okay, see that. I know.
Speaker 5: I was like trying to come up with it, and
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm just saying a.
Speaker 4: Group of people.
Speaker 1: Sheans, I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's also a group of people that's the members of
Speaker 4: the Martin Sheen family, and I don't want to mess.
Speaker 5: I thought it was like the fast fashioned.
Speaker 8: Family Yan brothers, but they like every piece of I
Speaker 8: think what it taught me was like denim is one
Speaker 8: of the heaviest known materials to man, because like every
Speaker 8: piece of the shoe is made of denim other than
Speaker 8: the laces.
Speaker 1: And holy shit, when I tell you these are like
Speaker 1: like the mafia should put people in these before throwing
Speaker 1: them into a bottom.
Speaker 5: I'm where Jay Leno is salivating.
Speaker 1: Okay exactly, but it's so.
Speaker 5: Funny where like this is like plutonium.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I will say real quick, apoloy in defense of
Speaker 9: someone who's also a sneaker head.
Speaker 5: I talked to you guys about this last time.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I know I think that I think
Speaker 6: that is.
Speaker 9: I don't know how it works of like physics wise,
Speaker 9: but I do think like the bigger your feet are,
Speaker 9: the more comfortable the sneakers are because they're designing them
Speaker 9: for people who wearing size sixteen seventeen feet.
Speaker 6: I wear size thirteen and a half.
Speaker 1: And now I'm on a friend just like Justice, it
Speaker 1: must be on the air.
Speaker 4: Yeah, please don I don't.
Speaker 6: I didn't want it to be because I don't know
Speaker 6: if it's right. I do you want.
Speaker 1: To quote you or do you want to come on?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: Put that interstitial it's still put it in so my
Speaker 5: feet are too tiny to be happy? Is that it
Speaker 5: are so small?
Speaker 6: I don't know how.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I should go on record about
Speaker 4: the fact that my feet and other parts of my
Speaker 4: body are not.
Speaker 5: Huge and comfortable and well taken care of.
Speaker 6: Maybe I don't know. That's just how it works physically,
Speaker 6: That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: I don't make sense. I think that's.
Speaker 5: Also like I feel like justice because it's like tall
Speaker 5: people are uncomfortable everywhere, like in airplanes, walking through door frames. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so it's like, now finally there's Yeah.
Speaker 9: And I'd say that's exclusively reserved for the newer shoes.
Speaker 9: The are always going to be shit. They made Jordan's
Speaker 9: feet bleed, They're obviously going to make my feet. Yeah,
Speaker 9: you know that's that's one hundred. But I think this
Speaker 9: is true of the of the newer stuff. Absolutely. I
Speaker 9: think the bigger your feet are, for whatever reason, the
Speaker 9: more comfortable they are.
Speaker 5: Do you think when Jordan's feet were bleeding, he was
Speaker 5: like and I took that personally.
Speaker 1: I took that personally. And that makes sense though, that
Speaker 1: they're all the shoes are designed for giant human beings.
Speaker 1: Do like the Nike must redesign though, right, they must
Speaker 1: be like okay, and then how do we make this
Speaker 1: so it like works on like ninety eight percent of
Speaker 1: the population.
Speaker 5: Why would they need to if we're still buying it
Speaker 5: for them to just continue what they're doing because we're
Speaker 5: all idiots and we're still buying it.
Speaker 9: They truly don't give a shit about their customer base.
Speaker 9: I will say that.
Speaker 5: We're the people who manufacture them.
Speaker 4: I don't think they care on either end.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: I truly think it's just really profits. And if they
Speaker 4: could just like put Nike on like just scaffolding and
Speaker 4: just make you put your feet in it, they would, Yeah,
Speaker 4: also like fabric on it.
Speaker 5: I don't understand fashion, but a lot of the designs
Speaker 5: of like cool newer shoes are like I guess ugly
Speaker 5: in Vogue, Like you know what I mean, Like it's
Speaker 5: like a trend to be disgusting, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 5: make that true for personalities, and I'm with you, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. But I'm like, I never understood fashion,
Speaker 5: and now you're doing ironic fashion and I'm confused, Like.
Speaker 1: These shoes look like the shitty shoes that you didn't
Speaker 1: want to get when you were a kid like that.
Speaker 1: All of my shoe taste and like, shoe buying is
Speaker 1: wish fulfillment for myself. When I was eight years old, exactly,
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the Jordans, couldn't get like any of
Speaker 1: these things that I wanted and thought, like still think
Speaker 1: they looked cool. The designs are so classic, and the
Speaker 1: shoes that people think are cool now or are buying
Speaker 1: more now seemed to be the ones that I like
Speaker 1: had to get that were like available at payless shoes.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm mostly buy sneakers for forty year olds who
Speaker 9: get excited that I have them on the street, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean. They're like, oh my god, you
Speaker 9: have those and literally no one else cares. Yeah, but
Speaker 9: I live for that and that fulfills my heart in
Speaker 9: this weird little way, and I can, I can be
Speaker 9: frank about that vanity in me, and that's that's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think as long as we all look down
Speaker 5: and have fun, you know, as.
Speaker 4: Long as we can all make fun of you justin
Speaker 4: I think, like whatever you believe or like love is fine.
Speaker 9: Yeah, please please roast me lightly for it. I might
Speaker 9: have an ego death if you go too hard.
Speaker 4: But I never I bought kyries. I think I have
Speaker 4: roasted myself.
Speaker 1: For this stuff.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I will.
Speaker 9: You know what, He's got a few hitters out there,
Speaker 9: but yeah no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mean by a hitter. He's got a
Speaker 1: few hitters out there. Some of his political opinions, they're
Speaker 1: pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Oh well, you said it.
Speaker 1: Those are my favorite parts of him. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 5: We need Destin to take over the pod more often.
Speaker 6: Yeah, ah man, thank you so much. Guys appreciate it.
Speaker 1: He's been saying this for years. He's like, you, guys
Speaker 1: should not be on this podcast.
Speaker 5: Should he publishes the podcast. It's a completely different one.
Speaker 4: Being chill, But it's actually just a coup that Justin
Speaker 4: has been like meticulously planning right this entire time.
Speaker 9: There are so many narratives about me out there right now,
Speaker 9: it's hard to know what to believe.
Speaker 1: But that's a big footed, chill, cool dude with amazing shoes.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, what's his deal? He's like almost too nice
Speaker 1: to be nice.
Speaker 5: He made him sound like Bigfoot, but with like sneakers
Speaker 5: on like that picture, the blurry picture, but with Jordan's.
Speaker 9: If someone in Zeitgang can please draw that, I would
Speaker 9: absolutely purchase that band.
Speaker 1: That somebody has to have photoshopped Jordan's on the Bigfoot
Speaker 1: in the blurry picture, right of course.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: All right, what is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Okay, Like I said, I'm very bad at self care.
Speaker 5: I just started using I have two dogs, and they
Speaker 5: shut a lot. I just started using a roomba. It's like,
Speaker 5: let the robots take over, all right, you're doing it better. Okay,
Speaker 5: this place is so much cleaner that I could ever
Speaker 5: sweep it up. Just take my job. I don't care.
Speaker 5: I don't care. You can do it robots, you know.
Speaker 1: New Rumba, Like how long go did you get the room?
Speaker 5: But so my my brother gave it to me, so
Speaker 5: it's an old room. But but I just started using it.
Speaker 5: So I'm like so excited.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say anything because it will disappoint you.
Speaker 4: So I will just learn that on your own.
Speaker 5: Wait, what's disappointing about it?
Speaker 4: Just there's a lot of that I can't do that.
Speaker 4: It promises like that it can just like my father, No, really,
Speaker 4: it'll get tangled up and like if you have long
Speaker 4: hair at all, that shit, especially curly hair, will get
Speaker 4: tangled up in it. It'll not you'll have to keep
Speaker 4: cutting through. Uh, there's just a lot of upkeep. And
Speaker 4: then sometimes it's like I don't understand that there's a
Speaker 4: carpet step. I will keep knocking my little room behead
Speaker 4: against it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I got it for free and I had no expectations, and.
Speaker 4: Oh see you're gonna it's awesome. I believe. I believe
Speaker 4: I want everyone to have that first week that you
Speaker 4: have the roomba where you're like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Everything is possible.
Speaker 5: That's how I feel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And sometimes it will like start like listening in
Speaker 1: on your conversations, like you'll be like, wait, why is
Speaker 1: the room but in the corner of the room while
Speaker 1: we're like talking about or financial information.
Speaker 4: And why is it wet?
Speaker 5: Why does it have those Boston Dynamic dog legs? And
Speaker 5: when climbing up the walls, where to get that gun?
Speaker 1: Yeah, my experience with the room. But so I like,
Speaker 1: I have the same question in my heart the second
Speaker 1: you brought up the room. But I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: she doesn't know yet.
Speaker 5: They don't know yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I saw I saw the light leave both of our eyes.
Speaker 5: Jack too. I thought you'd be so excited and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, this is so fun.
Speaker 1: And then but every time someone talks about their room,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, what is it a new purchase? Because
Speaker 1: I think they will solve it, Like I think eventually
Speaker 1: it won't be bad like that, because like there are
Speaker 1: things that does that are pretty cool, and.
Speaker 4: We've we've made artificial hearts and shit, like you're telling
Speaker 4: you find a fucking room, but solution, Like I believe
Speaker 4: in us.
Speaker 5: I love I love that we're talking about it like
Speaker 5: we did it like sports teams. Yeah, of course we
Speaker 5: made artificial hearts. Like, let's get on it, guys.
Speaker 1: Go on. I mean, maybe the most advanced technology and
Speaker 1: robotics is not going to be purchasable at a bed
Speaker 1: bathroom beyond. Like maybe I was looking for it in
Speaker 1: the wrong place, But how dare.
Speaker 4: I say that about bed bath and beyond? What the
Speaker 4: fuck do you think beyond is about?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 1: That's what the beyond was. The singularity.
Speaker 5: Also feel like I don't care how far technology advances
Speaker 5: until we make a printer that works, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean? Like, just print, just print when I want
Speaker 5: you to print and that I'll be excited about.
Speaker 4: And that I also don't have to be like, oh,
Speaker 4: I now need to get like new ink or some
Speaker 4: shit or.
Speaker 5: Owner Prime or highlight or whatever the fuck the princher
Speaker 5: needs that my fight also needs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I know I spend that at FENTI I
Speaker 4: don't yeah it things for you.
Speaker 1: I don't yeah zegang for anybody who's like ever worked
Speaker 1: at like a you know, in the government or something
Speaker 1: like that, do the powers that be secretly have printers
Speaker 1: that work? Like do they just have Like I feel
Speaker 1: like that there is a lot of like you know,
Speaker 1: designed obsolescence and like designed like fuck ups with printers
Speaker 1: so that like the ink costs more than the printer itself,
Speaker 1: and like that's by design.
Speaker 4: The gank man big ink. I feel like they've been
Speaker 4: saying it.
Speaker 1: Somebody's probably figured out the printer and they just like
Speaker 1: don't it's not profitable for them to sell a printer
Speaker 1: that is like, yeah, this lasts ten years and just works,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 5: I will say, speaking of like the artificial hearts and stuff,
Speaker 5: I have been in like academic settings with professors who
Speaker 5: are like Nobel Prize winners, and they too, who are
Speaker 5: creating these amazing technologies can only be foiled by printers
Speaker 5: and PowerPoint presentations. That is the only thing that can
Speaker 5: defeat a professor.
Speaker 4: Successfully that tracks, that tracks, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and catch up on some news heading into
Speaker 1: the weekend. We'll be right back. We're back.
Speaker 4: We've been here the whole time.
Speaker 1: We've been here, the whole damn have been audience that
Speaker 1: you've been off in some nether world listening to ads
Speaker 1: growth her yeah, herb All right, let's talk about Cassie Hudginson.
Speaker 1: She was White House aid to Donald Trump, and she
Speaker 1: revealed she has a new book coming out which.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, yay love it.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that was her entire being a White
Speaker 1: House eate. But she revealed that Rudy Giuliani groped her
Speaker 1: during the Stop the Steel rally on January sixth. YEA
Speaker 1: truly just like a mega like trifecta or something.
Speaker 5: I would have been surprised if he hadn't groped anyone
Speaker 5: on any given day, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what he does. He is a
Speaker 1: walking dick with hands and an ability to consume alcohol.
Speaker 1: But she also has a little nugget that makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. That the reason that Donald Trump wouldn't
Speaker 1: wear a mask, which was always surprising to me. Right,
Speaker 1: he is a hypochondriac. He hates people, he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be around them, he doesn't like He keeps the
Speaker 1: hand sanitizer like on the ready, even before the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But then suddenly he got real brave with ed not
Speaker 1: wearing the masks. So she told this story. President pulled
Speaker 1: the mask off and asked why I thought he should
Speaker 1: not wear it. So, first of all, cool Cassidy being like,
Speaker 1: why are you wearing the mask? I pointed at the
Speaker 1: straps of the N ninety five I was holding. When
Speaker 1: he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw
Speaker 1: they were covered in bronzer. He wasn't happy about that.
Speaker 1: Why did no one else tell me that? He said,
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing this thing. Trump was almost never seen
Speaker 1: wearing one after that, with only a handful of exceptions,
Speaker 1: and the press was like, you know, this guy's he's
Speaker 1: rejecting the mask because of his political But.
Speaker 5: Would she admit that she was responsible for influencing millions
Speaker 5: of people through Trump to not wear a mask. She
Speaker 5: was like, I'm like so smart.
Speaker 1: It's crazy how many people I kill.
Speaker 4: That's what I think is wild about someone doing like
Speaker 4: a tell all thing when like they don't.
Speaker 5: They're just she's just looking for money obviously, I know.
Speaker 4: But like if you don't have enough like brains to
Speaker 4: know when you're showing your own ass while trying to
Speaker 4: show someone else's, like, a tell all is not your genre,
Speaker 4: my dog, like that is not You're gonna want to
Speaker 4: stay away from that. It's just not gonna look great.
Speaker 5: She's like, tell all, I need to tell you all
Speaker 5: why I'm a bad person.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what we all is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, to your point, like so many people were. Then,
Speaker 1: you know, his supporters took his lead start refusing to
Speaker 1: wear the mask, mocking people who did. They still refuse
Speaker 1: to wear masks to this day. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's all. I'm not gonna blame it all on Cassidy Hutchinson,
Speaker 1: but like it's certainly not helping.
Speaker 5: Like the most embarrassing part, none of his followers had
Speaker 5: the type of bronze or he did. Okay, it was so.
Speaker 1: Bad they wouldn't have even had Bronzer, come off. They
Speaker 1: could have totally saved their lives in the lives of
Speaker 1: the lives of their loved ones. All right, Rupert Murdoch
Speaker 1: stepping down as fox Chair?
Speaker 4: Why God why?
Speaker 1: Part of the reaction to this story is a little
Speaker 1: confusing to me because it implies that I was like
Speaker 1: aware that he that his position was Fox Chair, and
Speaker 1: that like, I don't know, like, couldn't he just continue
Speaker 1: to like the person who's taking over for him as
Speaker 1: his son, Like who's clearly it's not like he's decided
Speaker 1: to he's like going to prison or something like, he's
Speaker 1: just this could be a purely like everyone's acting like
Speaker 1: it actually means something, and I'm not certain that it
Speaker 1: does mean anything.
Speaker 4: It's like, you remember that movie from Justin to Kelly
Speaker 4: or whatever? Oh yeah, oh my god, I was just
Speaker 4: about to exactly right. But you know, from like from
Speaker 4: Dictator to Dictator, it's like we're supposed to, like.
Speaker 5: You think Kelly Clarkson, Justin whatever his name, or Dictators.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's so funny.
Speaker 1: Are you saying you're equally talented?
Speaker 4: I'm saying that movie felt bad, and this also feels bad,
Speaker 4: And I agree with you.
Speaker 5: And I've been saying that this whole time. That's so funny.
Speaker 5: You're like on a date, You're like, uh, have you
Speaker 5: seen that movie? Justin to Kelly, That's what this feels like.
Speaker 5: And the answer is always no, And my own answer
Speaker 5: is no. One day you'll find someone who says yes,
Speaker 5: and then that'll be your person.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful hate story.
Speaker 1: But so taking over for him his eldest son, Lachlan,
Speaker 1: who's already serving as the chief executive of Fox Corporation.
Speaker 1: So I get that, like this just like doesn't mean
Speaker 1: anything to me.
Speaker 4: So he's already the same as fucking any kind of royalty,
Speaker 4: any kind of anything. Just passing the shit back and
Speaker 4: forth among themselves. You're supposed to be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: the new queen just dropped exact Wait a minute, is
Speaker 4: it still the Murdoch family. Why don't we pause all
Speaker 4: the press releases about this.
Speaker 5: If one of them is more susceptible to like eating
Speaker 5: a pretzel, then I'll be interested. Okay.
Speaker 4: If they're not.
Speaker 5: Getting like shoes thrown at them or whatever, I don't
Speaker 5: give a fuck. Okay, and they're just in their little bubbles,
Speaker 5: I don't care yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like one of the types of articles this gives
Speaker 1: rise to is the article where it's like, well he
Speaker 1: sure did a lot, you know. It's just like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't say the Iraq War wasn't impactful or you know,
Speaker 1: like it's just like basically.
Speaker 4: It's one time is like, yeah we put Trump on
Speaker 4: the cover. Yeah we said person of the year. We
Speaker 4: didn't say good person of the year.
Speaker 1: But just like sheer wattage of their influence is what
Speaker 1: is being determined, and that yeah toxic and bad to me.
Speaker 4: No one needed your input on it, you know, honestly.
Speaker 1: Like time you're talking to me right now. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well guess what, Jack, nobody gives a fun Justin takes
Speaker 1: over from Jack to Justin no difference.
Speaker 10: I was just go, that was amazing that kind before
Speaker 10: this actually mute as Mike Justin, I know you have
Speaker 10: control over his house.
Speaker 5: I was listening to this podcast. It's like about dictators
Speaker 5: and like it's like pretty interesting, but like every like
Speaker 5: the way the narrator describes success is like Stalin was
Speaker 5: quite a successful leader, and it's like, how are we
Speaker 5: describing is it? Like oh, if maybe if I was
Speaker 5: more successful, I could kill more people, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, if I had access to more murder.
Speaker 4: All I have to say is those seven year plans
Speaker 4: were done and under five.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, a lot of tricks were unmatched.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of efficiency to be gained when you.
Speaker 5: Just murder murder people, yeah.
Speaker 1: And erase them from pictures.
Speaker 5: Save a lot financially if you just kill a bunch
Speaker 5: of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you invent photoshop before, like years before Adobe did,
Speaker 1: because you have to erase all those people from pictures.
Speaker 5: So, I mean, and you never made us pay for subscription.
Speaker 4: So I just was gonna say, that's why the Simptoms
Speaker 4: Simpsons has that iconic line. That's why pencils have erasers
Speaker 4: about Germans, you know, mistakes in the past by that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but that's why pencils have erasers.
Speaker 1: God, the Simpsons is going to be like, one hundred
Speaker 1: years from now, viewed the way that we view Shaped Spere.
Speaker 1: I think I was just like, man, that was the
Speaker 1: best thing they did.
Speaker 5: It was and it was all performed by men Hanka's area.
Speaker 5: He performs every single one of those voices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what and that is the thing that makes
Speaker 1: it good. But yeah, I mean, so it's obviously led
Speaker 1: to a bunch of succession memes, namely people seeming to
Speaker 1: be bummed that he didn't randomly die on a private
Speaker 1: jet spoilers training. But he was not caught up on
Speaker 1: success He was just.
Speaker 5: About to go actual Murdoch was just about to go
Speaker 5: to ocean Gate or whatever. Right, a Titanic drop at
Speaker 5: ninety two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a Titanic drop. Oh my god, you guys, I
Speaker 1: just did the Titanic drop. But like his so, I
Speaker 1: I had heard that there are details in succession that
Speaker 1: the caused the Murdoch family to put like NDA's and
Speaker 1: like really like it made them paranoid because they were
Speaker 1: like so accurate to what their lives are are actually like.
Speaker 1: And just one of the details of like what this
Speaker 1: power struggle was like is that he made them fight
Speaker 1: each other because he thought that it would He pitted
Speaker 1: kids against each other their entire lives. Oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: thought that it would create a Darwinian struggle that would
Speaker 1: produce the most capable air. And then his daughter Elizabeth
Speaker 1: is by many accounts the sharpest, but she is a woman,
Speaker 1: and Murdoch subscribed to you know, old fashioned values on
Speaker 1: which we used to relize.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you're actually a family guy guy.
Speaker 1: Also fun, you know, also wow. I mean he gave
Speaker 1: us the Simpsons, he gave us Family Guy, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and bad mouth him.
Speaker 5: I think about fighting a giant chicken. That's what I
Speaker 5: think about when I think about Rupert Murdoch. I think
Speaker 5: it's I think it's so fun that they were like
Speaker 5: there's so many like secret details that are so accurate
Speaker 5: that we can't let out, like how the woman is smart.
Speaker 4: Shock of all, they'll never believe the brains went inside
Speaker 4: the woman won the.
Speaker 5: Whole time like a trojan hole.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if it if it was so accurate
Speaker 1: that they felt like they needed to like get litigious
Speaker 1: with people about like leaking details, and he just let
Speaker 1: one of his sons actually take over, I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a good thing for us, because the actual like
Speaker 1: the children on succession were fucking idiots, you know, like
Speaker 1: they were all monsters who were.
Speaker 4: At the beginning of the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe like hopefully this is the beginning of
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 5: Wait, do you think he really killed a waiter? Do
Speaker 5: you think that actually happened? I mean, I'm sure they
Speaker 5: killed a lot of people that.
Speaker 1: Would be the sort of detail. Yeah, I mean these
Speaker 1: like the stories you just casually hear about the sort
Speaker 1: of evil done by not like necessarily the first generation
Speaker 1: of people who get rich, but like the ones they're
Speaker 1: kids who have been like raised or yeah, just raised
Speaker 1: in like being ready to inherit like millions or billions
Speaker 1: of dollars, like they are so ruined, like just the
Speaker 1: least humane human people like all of all time. Like,
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be shocked if that was one of
Speaker 1: the details. Of course, I have no way of knowing
Speaker 1: that though. So yeah, that that made it sound like
Speaker 1: I like helped them cover up a murder I.
Speaker 10: Know, and.
Speaker 1: No way of knowing that, and any allegations otherwise are
Speaker 1: completely speecious. All right, Should we take another break and
Speaker 1: then come back and talk about Bob Ross's rookie card?
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Man, We're back, and there's a big story. Bob ross
Speaker 1: first painting on sale for ten million dollars. A Minneapolis
Speaker 1: art gallery is reportedly selling the first ever painting he
Speaker 1: created on his PBS show for nearly ten million dollars,
Speaker 1: which seems like a lot for a work of art
Speaker 1: that took thirty minutes to make. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: I had the immediate thought, I was like, well, it's
Speaker 1: like his rookie card. It's like, I don't know, don't
Speaker 1: I don't care about the artistic value of like major
Speaker 1: League Baseball, like baseball card, rookie card. Like, it's just
Speaker 1: cool that it was like their rookie card that came
Speaker 1: out when before we knew how awesome they were gonna be.
Speaker 1: And that is exactly the sales pitch from the con
Speaker 1: artist who is selling this thing, Who's like, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? This is a fucking rookie card. Also
Speaker 1: the rookie cart.
Speaker 4: The last time it was on Zegeist and we had
Speaker 4: another art story, remember, and we were talking about the
Speaker 4: way that the art market. It was about the British Museum, remember,
Speaker 4: and then poe Ing and all that stuff, but also
Speaker 4: about how, in addition to all the other reasons, like
Speaker 4: that museum and a lot of others are like a
Speaker 4: crime the fact that so little of the artwork is exhibited,
Speaker 4: right and like that also what ends up happening is
Speaker 4: like much of it disappears or gets misplaced by a
Speaker 4: man that runs the gallery and put by him on eBay.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: But the other thing we were talking about the like
Speaker 4: the capitalism of like art in a way that is
Speaker 4: like gruesome and won't leave anything in its wake, and
Speaker 4: it's like the gagosianization of like everything, and to see
Speaker 4: like some like I would love it if say that
Speaker 4: ten million dollars or whatever the fuck went to like
Speaker 4: an arts program or some shit, but like doubtful, you know. Instead,
Speaker 4: now we're making a thing that that man prided himself
Speaker 4: on making accessible to everyone on public television. We're making
Speaker 4: we're setting the bid at ten million.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Yeah, I also think it's terrible. Anyways, I'm selling
Speaker 5: my first joke for like million dollars to buy my
Speaker 5: first open mic joke, Classic, Get in while you can.
Speaker 5: It's probably about Dix or something, Harry Bob Roth of me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, classic it is. Yeah, so much of the art
Speaker 1: world is basically money laundering, and so much of like
Speaker 1: all these stories where it's like this they just bought
Speaker 1: this for ninety million dollars becomes a lie rob them
Speaker 1: so much easier to believe when you realize that, yeah,
Speaker 1: that it's just like rich people hiding their money in
Speaker 1: a brightly colored thing.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 5: I want to rob them so bad.
Speaker 1: It deserved be robbed so bad.
Speaker 5: You know. Yep, I'm empathizing with the bling ring right now.
Speaker 4: I want to bob rob them. Am I right, I'm winning.
Speaker 1: I quit So I do just want to read this
Speaker 1: part though, So I'm like, all right, fuck this, this
Speaker 1: is terrible capitalism like destroys everything, including art. Like and
Speaker 1: then I'm reading this description of Bob Ross, Bob Ross's
Speaker 1: other most expensive work of art, which you know, people
Speaker 1: are saying ten million dollars is wild. Just if you
Speaker 1: look at the internal market for Bob Ross paintings, his
Speaker 1: previous most expensive was ninety five thousand dollars. And this
Speaker 1: is them describing that. And they said, painted on an
Speaker 1: oil on canvas. This gem features a rope boat padding
Speaker 1: to the shore on a sunny day, with reads and
Speaker 1: sand visible in the foreground. It allowed Bob to spend
Speaker 1: special attention to the way the sunlight illuminates the clouds
Speaker 1: and how to stipple the edge of the waves of
Speaker 1: the tides to get that white foam. And like I was, like,
Speaker 1: my blood pressure fell by like three hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five points. However, you just like reading a description of
Speaker 1: like what he did like a description like that's a
Speaker 1: plot synopsis of an episode of like a bob Ross show.
Speaker 4: It's an ASMR of ASMR.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I'm like kind of in not not
Speaker 1: on how much money this is, but like on the
Speaker 1: bob Ross art market.
Speaker 5: The money part like cancels out the blood pressure d
Speaker 5: Like I've ye stressed out thinking about a painting that
Speaker 5: costs that much. It's in the hands of.
Speaker 1: That's like like looks at a thing and is like,
Speaker 1: how do we make this stressful?
Speaker 5: This is like yoga run by someone with anger management issues,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like at some point it's
Speaker 5: gonna snap.
Speaker 1: How do we make this like fuck people's whole shit up,
Speaker 1: like just like really stress them out. Wait the thing
Speaker 1: where the guy like calms everyone down? Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: we make that? Like let's do a stressful and like
Speaker 1: make people want to murder each other, you know how?
Speaker 4: Like he made you feel like sunshine inside What if
Speaker 4: like our thing was like taking that and making it
Speaker 4: feel like it was hailing in your heart?
Speaker 5: Can we bottle that? Can we sell it?
Speaker 4: Oh? I think people were enjoying the sunshine of it
Speaker 4: now Nah?
Speaker 1: Fuck that Another one of America's Great Creations Craft Singles
Speaker 1: are being recalled for gagging or choking hazards.
Speaker 5: Okay, gagged, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Bad news for those of us who are too lazy
Speaker 1: to take four seconds to cut ourselves a slice of cheese.
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, it's got wrapping on it. In general,
Speaker 5: I've been eating stacks of them at once. That's just
Speaker 5: been unanging my jaw like a snake and housing fifteen
Speaker 5: of them at once.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Eighty three thousand, eight hundred cases of Craft Singles
Speaker 1: are being recalled, which apparently one of the company's wrapping
Speaker 1: machines had a bad day at work and some packages
Speaker 1: were shipped out with a thin strip of plastic film
Speaker 1: stuck to the singles, which is confusing. Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how it could be more stuck to the singles.
Speaker 1: That's what I think thing already is.
Speaker 4: That's what I kept thinking too. I was like, how
Speaker 4: would it be any different than the other plastic.
Speaker 1: Like, of all the things, that of all the foods,
Speaker 1: that I would not be worried having a thin strip
Speaker 1: of plastics stuck to them. This would be it Because
Speaker 1: I'm it's our it opened, that's its opening off. That's
Speaker 1: what it has thin plastic stuck too.
Speaker 5: I buy it for the plastic and then I melt
Speaker 5: the cheese down and sell that.
Speaker 4: It's like crying in the ocean, Like who even can tell?
Speaker 4: Yeah me when exactly it's a victimless crime. The only
Speaker 4: victim is yourself. Just like with graft singles.
Speaker 5: Crag in the ocean, which I will be doing on
Speaker 5: Sunday with Sophia that date. We just go out, sir,
Speaker 5: and we just sob.
Speaker 1: Just up to your knees in the ocean, or what
Speaker 1: are we thinking? Up to your shoulders?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just you just walk out.
Speaker 5: Actually, you just slowly walk out to the ocean in
Speaker 5: like a white long dress, in.
Speaker 1: A white long dress with rocks in your pockets.
Speaker 5: Don't turn back, and you just sob. It's the coolest
Speaker 5: thing in La. It's right after puppy yoga.
Speaker 1: It's called it pulling the Virginia Wolf diet. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I called a diet, just for like marketing purposes,
Speaker 1: but we juice.
Speaker 4: A little bit after we eat a little pot pourrie.
Speaker 4: It's the lushous, fucking LA type of day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, type of death both.
Speaker 4: Honestly, what's the difference do.
Speaker 1: You guys fuck with craft singles? Are you? Are you
Speaker 1: above it?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm vegan now. I hate being vegan. Let's not
Speaker 5: talk about it. But like, I'm vegan now, so I can't.
Speaker 5: But I used to fuck with it a little bit.
Speaker 5: You know, Well cheese on that sandwich, you know, only
Speaker 5: in grilled cheese.
Speaker 4: Anything other than that, I'm like, it's it's necessary made
Speaker 4: for melting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the thing that appeals to me about it,
Speaker 1: and it's most American cheese. I actually don't think I
Speaker 1: have had Craft singles and like, you know, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, but it's it's mainly the low melting point.
Speaker 1: Like I think there's a part of my brain that's
Speaker 1: like that's not supposed to melt that quickly, and it's
Speaker 1: just like.
Speaker 5: Water special properties or that it's polar and Craft cheese
Speaker 5: an unnatural melting point.
Speaker 1: Exactly, all right. And in other science news, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Florida's surge in general. He you know, duck, despite
Speaker 1: the the fact that COVID infections are nearing the first
Speaker 1: peak of twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Levels, flip flop with a mustache.
Speaker 1: It was like a candidate'sn and a little earring.
Speaker 7: No, like, yeah, we're it'sing candidates for Florida. I don't
Speaker 7: know if we're regular grandpa just.
Speaker 1: A grandpa's selected at random.
Speaker 5: A jet skiing on fire. Okay, I'm not sorry.
Speaker 4: I like the cut of his jib. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: because he's on fire.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like he gives a fuck at all
Speaker 1: that jets.
Speaker 5: He's not wearing a mask, why should I?
Speaker 1: That's right. The CDC just released new data indicating that
Speaker 1: he warn't healthy adults under the age of sixty five
Speaker 1: against taking a new COVID nineteen booster, and CDC just
Speaker 1: released new data that he gave that advice just days
Speaker 1: after Florida ranked first in the nation for COVID related hospitalizations.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with COVID
Speaker 5: and everything to do with critical race theory. And this
Speaker 5: is how I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I will yes, his predecessor was like this. The vaccines
Speaker 1: remained very, very safe and have really proven efficacy, particularly
Speaker 1: against preventing severe disease, which I do feel like we
Speaker 1: always need to say, because the the way this story
Speaker 1: has trended is just people being like, yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't know, like everybody had different things to say during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. It was a crazy time, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: those people were wrong, and they killed many, many people
Speaker 1: with their wrong opinions, and now one of them is
Speaker 1: the certain in general of Florida.
Speaker 5: But to be fair, his like scientific backing is that
Speaker 5: the vaccine is gay.
Speaker 4: Dogs, right, so much gayer than I was.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Yeah, like he actually had. He's a little like
Speaker 1: doctor Oz in the sense that like he when you
Speaker 1: look at his background, there was a time when he
Speaker 1: was like a very respected medical professional. He's a Harvard grad,
Speaker 1: accomplished clinical researcher at UCLA. And then COVID hit and
Speaker 1: he started being like, fuck the lockdown, we should all
Speaker 1: just go about this like nothing matters for you. Guessed
Speaker 1: it Rupert Murdoch in the Wall Street Journal. And then
Speaker 1: he joined a little uh yeah, I know, rip to
Speaker 1: a real one. Then he joined a little group called
Speaker 1: America's Frontline Doctors, which you remember, might remember.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I remember that image of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they protested at the Capitol.
Speaker 5: They were all wearing white coats. Yeah, and I was like,
Speaker 5: are these real doctors? And then like most of them
Speaker 5: were plastic surgeons.
Speaker 4: And I was like, what the fuck. Then you're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: so obviously now.
Speaker 1: And this was the one real doctor that and that's
Speaker 1: why Dysantis like selected him and was like, I know
Speaker 1: you have like no background in politics or like being
Speaker 1: any sort of surgeon general or any position like this,
Speaker 1: but because I feel like I could use you to
Speaker 1: pone the libs, I'm going to make you the surgeon
Speaker 1: general and then kill so many people, like just really
Speaker 1: playing with fire in the in Florida, like so many
Speaker 1: old people.
Speaker 11: They're so old there also being chosen by I just
Speaker 11: imagine that explanation you just gave as like a drunk
Speaker 11: history episode where DeSantis is being played by someone like
Speaker 11: Rob Hubel and he's like, and I chose you because you.
Speaker 1: Second on the lips. I am a little drunk. I
Speaker 1: can probably tell.
Speaker 5: I also think like people like sure people could have
Speaker 5: like having gone to like a really science the engineering school.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, you can be very smart in like
Speaker 5: one or one specific thing, but then really dumb in another.
Speaker 5: But also like don't underestimate the power of selling out,
Speaker 5: Like yeah, to have like power and be tokenized and
Speaker 5: be given like higher platforms because you are a token
Speaker 5: or because of these credentials, and you can earn money
Speaker 5: from that and earn connections from that that is not
Speaker 5: impervious to your academic institutions that you've attended or like
Speaker 5: the degrees you've accumulated. So it's like people who think
Speaker 5: that they shouldn't trust science because they can't trust some scientists,
Speaker 5: Like that really bothers me because it's such a blemish
Speaker 5: on like stem and everything, because it's it's just like anything.
Speaker 5: It's like, it's not the knowledge, it's the people who
Speaker 5: wield it right that are corruptible. So that really bothers me.
Speaker 5: I'm like, you're not doing us any favors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, science, Yeah, I mean it's not like one one
Speaker 1: profession is going to be one hundred percent like smart
Speaker 1: and right on a subject. But people act like, you know,
Speaker 1: because they found a single Harvard Harvard grad who like
Speaker 1: has a medical background that like, well, that proves that, folks.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's science defeated. There's this crazy
Speaker 1: thing called second opinions, and you are the only person
Speaker 1: with this opinion. So yeah, and it is an opinion,
Speaker 1: it is truly an opinion. Like he so since he's
Speaker 1: been the Surgeon General. Like he added a thing claiming
Speaker 1: that like warning men against taking the Pfizer and Maderna vaccines,
Speaker 1: pointing to an analysis claiming the shots increase the risk
Speaker 1: of cardiac related deaths among young men.
Speaker 5: That's what I said, gay.
Speaker 1: Right, But then later revealed that the evidence he pointed
Speaker 1: to in that analysis was written by let me see him. Wow,
Speaker 1: he had personally altered the state study he cited, and
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Health study said that there was
Speaker 1: no significant risk associated with the COVID nineteen vaccine for
Speaker 1: young men, and then, in a draft labeled doctor El's edits.
Speaker 1: What that is so funny, the DAPPO modified the report
Speaker 1: so it read that like it was a risk to
Speaker 1: men between eighteen and thirty nine, which is like false.
Speaker 4: It's like that dude from the British Museum, remember who
Speaker 4: was solely selling the heart making his fucking eBay seller name,
Speaker 4: just his actual email, connected to his Twitter, connected to
Speaker 4: his everything.
Speaker 5: Yes, I also have a folder on my desktop called
Speaker 5: doctor GE's edits and it's just pictures of me photoshopped
Speaker 5: as Andrew Garfield's wife, So like same, that's also real
Speaker 5: to me. That's a real.
Speaker 4: Fact to me.
Speaker 1: But anyway, despite like that, that became a scandal obviously
Speaker 1: because he like altered a scientific paper with just like
Speaker 1: things he wished were true and so funny. Since then,
Speaker 1: he's been confirmed for a second term by the State Senate.
Speaker 5: So also, that's really funny because of how papers and
Speaker 5: science are peer reviewed and like how reviews and edits
Speaker 5: go about in that in that profession, like you have
Speaker 5: to peer review. Journals are a thing where like other
Speaker 5: experts in the field like examine your experiments and your
Speaker 5: methods and your materials and they're like, hey, add this
Speaker 5: experiment or like this, uh, this isn't sound enough. You
Speaker 5: need to have more subjects or whatever. And it's just
Speaker 5: like it's just so funny that he's like, you know what,
Speaker 5: I'm going to publish this on my own.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask my own.
Speaker 5: It's like it just adds to the hilarity within academia
Speaker 5: of like these professors are on a power trip and
Speaker 5: want to just do whatever the fuck they want to do.
Speaker 5: It's so fun Yeah, I love that. I'm gonna start
Speaker 5: doing that. I'm gonna do doctor G's edits and there
Speaker 5: you go be like, you know what, we are going
Speaker 5: on a date. Okay, these are cheese, yeah.

Speaker 5: blame Chuck Shomer in the Senate. And then the official
Speaker 5: White House account quote tweeted it with that onion article

Speaker 5: great point about the White So I'm like some social
Speaker 5: media intern is on their game, like taking that meme
Speaker 5: and posting it.

Speaker 1: good way of looking into the ways that like things
Speaker 1: have gotten worse, because like we talked about, like there's
Speaker 1: definitely like things like movies have gotten worse because of
Speaker 1: like CGI and like the ability for companies to just
Speaker 1: like send you like a scam bullshit product or more
Speaker 1: but calls. Yeah, but if like phone, the ability to
