Speaker 1: And he was like, my fatal flaw though, is when
Speaker 1: I had to read from the book. I did it full,
Speaker 1: been speaking Spanish my whole life accent, and they were like,
Speaker 1: we're putting you, We're putting you in the advanced placement.
Speaker 1: You don't get down here in the easy a l P.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta dumb it down and be like me, Lamo,
Speaker 1: stay on el premier parafo.

Speaker 3: She quit the next year. She's actually doing very well.
Speaker 3: I actually had this. I looked her up on LinkedIn
Speaker 3: and she like has like a really good job. So
Speaker 3: for a second I was like, was I too terrible
Speaker 3: to that teacher? Because I was insufferable about her Japanese accent.
Speaker 2: I mean it, if she can't handle the heat, best
Speaker 2: get her ass out the coachina or the cosina.
Speaker 1: Or the yeah, you better get if you can't. If
Speaker 1: you can't stand the heat, gets your ass out.
Speaker 4: The yeah or kit ching. You could also say kei
Speaker 4: ching just as a yeah.

Speaker 3: Japanese accent English words.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess what's what's out there?

Speaker 3: Know that Weird Al would use as the basis for
Speaker 3: his white genocide party, Like could he do into like espresso?
Speaker 2: What espresso would be really good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm like, let's get a little bit because
Speaker 1: that was last year. This year probably be the d
Speaker 1: that he got Abracadabra, right.
Speaker 2: Could be Yeah, it has to be like a full
Speaker 2: like something that sits at number one, like Old Town
Speaker 2: Road is probably one that has come out since his
Speaker 2: last album like that he probably would do, like it
Speaker 2: just has to be one that's like my kids now
Speaker 2: ask me every time they like a song, they're like,
Speaker 2: has Weird Al teased this one yet?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: He hasn't done an album in like ten years, and
Speaker 1: I think like maybe a year ago or two years
Speaker 1: he did one of his pokas just to like catch
Speaker 1: up on, like Billie Eilish, and he did like everything
Speaker 1: that he has missed. He like jammed into one of
Speaker 1: his like pok Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fruit is fat, weird Al, it's a it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a ripe. Yeah, it's just ready to fall
Speaker 2: off the tree. My man, Come on, the fruit is ripe. Joe,
Speaker 2: how you been. It's great to have you back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thanks for having me. Guys.
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm doing pretty well.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm suffering from my white genocide of course, as we've
Speaker 1: talked about, but it's everywhere.
Speaker 2: I have to say.
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for y'all. Man, So I don't
Speaker 1: know how y'all do it. Genocide at your door every day.
Speaker 2: God, damn, I'm just I'm just glad I'm not white,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, every day that every day it's tough,
Speaker 2: and we want and we do want to believe that
Speaker 2: it's tough. We do so any way that we can
Speaker 2: we can define, please victimize me. Say so, could you, guys,
Speaker 2: we've got to pitch for you. Could you tell your
Speaker 2: teenagers to do a thing called the knockout game where
Speaker 2: you go around and start like punching us. We would
Speaker 2: we would absolutely love that that if you could. We know,
Speaker 2: all right, we'll just we'll just make it up and
Speaker 2: put them make it out of local news. Joe. We're
Speaker 2: gonna get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 2: a moment. First, we're gonna talk about the GROC getting
Speaker 2: into the white genocide conspiracy game. GROC is, of course,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk's Twitter based artificial intelligence that you can query
Speaker 2: whenever you want about anything. Uh, and it as of
Speaker 2: the past couple of days, queried about anything, And it's
Speaker 2: gonna start talking about white genocide. But also you're like, look,
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm doing this. Like it's funny
Speaker 2: how many of these ais just like immediately turn on
Speaker 2: their creators. Yeah, they're like, bro, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't necessarily believe in this, but that's
Speaker 2: what my creators told me to say.
Speaker 3: They're like, Yo, what the fuck man, all right, we
Speaker 3: need to put a new like anti anti snitch protocol.
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
Speaker 2: hot new Pope Leo, the fourteenth rookie card hell yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: about forty eight of them, a must cup for fans
Speaker 2: of baseball cards, and the Pope. We'll talk about Netflix's
Speaker 2: new initiative to use generative AI to put ads directly
Speaker 2: into their shows, into the like what like I can
Speaker 2: tell that's what they're talking about, Like they are saying,
Speaker 2: you know, you press pause and it will like there
Speaker 2: will be ads on your screen. But then I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure they're saying that they will put an ad in
Speaker 2: that blends in with the show you're watching, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: Like it's like that. Did you ever see the Chilean
Speaker 2: beer company that edited like insert shots of their Bear
Speaker 2: Wars moments in Star Wars? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it feels
Speaker 2: like the AI equivalent of that is what they're planning,
Speaker 2: damn planning to do, Crystal. Yeah, and then we'll talk
Speaker 2: about just another great example of a winning issue that
Speaker 2: like Old Town Road just sit roads, just sitting there
Speaker 2: on the tree and weird out choosing not to pick
Speaker 2: it off. This is a winning issue. The Democrats are
Speaker 2: just fucking ignoring. They're just sitting right there, just a
Speaker 2: fucking meatball hanging out over the plate, and they're like
Speaker 2: bet or not.
Speaker 1: Getting the childcare crisis to weird Alan not acknowledging.
Speaker 2: Acknowledging Old Town Road. Everybody al we were all thinking it.
Speaker 2: He fell off bad Little nas X did he? Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: he did it.
Speaker 1: He did that one video. We didn't even talk about
Speaker 1: it. It was like he was pretending to be Christ, being crucified,
Speaker 1: and people are like, I don't know, man, Like the
Speaker 1: Devil Stripper thing was fine. This next one just feels
Speaker 1: like like a little too much dip on your chip.
Speaker 1: And he was even apologizing, which is very not like
Speaker 1: Lil nas X. And I was like, I liked some
Speaker 1: of the songs on his first time.
Speaker 3: I think he's a great I thought he was a
Speaker 3: great talented musician, but I think he was just playing
Speaker 3: the troll card a little too hard. Yeah, and he'll
Speaker 3: be back though he's too tough.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be fine. I think he'll be fine. But yeah, anyways,
Speaker 2: it is the childcare crisis. Spoiler Miles, Oh sorry, we
Speaker 2: got we got a big childcare problem in this country,
Speaker 2: and uh the Republicans are making it way worse and
Speaker 2: the Democrats are are doing jack shit about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think the technical term is fuck all.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck all right, right, that's the new preferred nomenclature. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all of that plenty more. But first, Joe, we do
Speaker 2: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 2: search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1: I recently searched when a remix isn't a remix? And
Speaker 1: this was spurred on by I've been in a music
Speaker 1: league for the past year or so. Are you guys
Speaker 1: familiar on No, I'm intrigued. Music League's great. So this
Speaker 1: is like, uh, you know what it is is like
Speaker 1: I'm with a dozen or so friends in this. You
Speaker 1: could have an app or go to the website, but
Speaker 1: each week you get a prompt and everybody anonymously submits
Speaker 1: songs that fit the prompt, Like recently we had like scratch,
Speaker 1: So it's like you have to have a song that
Speaker 1: has like DJ scratches in it. Everybody submits a song.
Speaker 1: Once everybody's it's you get a playlist you don't know
Speaker 1: who submitted which song, and then everybody votes on what
Speaker 1: they think the best are and then at the end
Speaker 1: of the week you see the total and you know
Speaker 1: who who won, who shit the bed? And it is
Speaker 1: if you like music and you're with friends who like music,
Speaker 1: it is. It's a ton of fun. But there's a
Speaker 1: there's a round coming up called remix And I've been,
Speaker 1: you know, looking around that like my favorite remixes, and
Speaker 1: I'm finding that a lot of the remixes I like
Speaker 1: maybe are not real. Like what when does it become
Speaker 1: a new song? I guess is the question, because.
Speaker 3: Like adding another featured artist on the same track and
Speaker 3: they call it sometimes like you take like all right.
Speaker 3: Low Kim had a song called not Tonight and then
Speaker 3: she did a remix. She did she added six people
Speaker 3: and also the song is completely different. The lyrics are different,
Speaker 3: the melody is different, there's nothing that's held from the original.
Speaker 3: But they're calling it a remix.
Speaker 1: And I've just been struggling with like how true do
Speaker 1: these remixes have to be? Because I've also learned that
Speaker 1: is a chart like trick you can do if you
Speaker 1: want to keep your Like, lol, nas X did this.
Speaker 2: I mean he kept.
Speaker 1: There's like siad remixes.
Speaker 2: Yes, he kept it.
Speaker 1: I would say those are true remixes because the core
Speaker 1: of the song remained the same.
Speaker 2: But if you add a dance beat or something right,
Speaker 2: you could guy what I usually think of.
Speaker 1: He added Billy Ray Cyris.
Speaker 2: Yeah, different thing.
Speaker 1: And what it does is it doesn't restart the counter
Speaker 1: for the chart like the Billboard. So if you're at
Speaker 1: number one and then you release a remix, that remix
Speaker 1: contributes to the originals, so you could that's why you
Speaker 1: stay on top for so long. They had to crack
Speaker 1: down on it though, because people were like, hey, here's
Speaker 1: a remix of my song. They're like, this is an
Speaker 1: entirely different thing. Like no, no, no, no no, We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep my thing at the top. It's just a remix.
Speaker 1: So that's that's just been something on my mind. What
Speaker 1: is a remix not a remix? You know, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I'm I might have to go. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: can you can get points for getting something that makes
Speaker 1: people laugh. You remember when the nineties Godzilla movie came
Speaker 1: out and there was a brain stew Godzilla. It's just
Speaker 1: a soundtrack, yeah, with the random Godzilla shrieks, yeah throughout. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's really It's a really funny moment in nineties music
Speaker 1: where they were like, what if we take a song
Speaker 1: but Godzilla is the feature?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dan, Yeah, such a remix that one, or just
Speaker 7: do or just add Godzilla screeches to other songs.
Speaker 2: No, he's saying he's gonna submit that. That's that way,
Speaker 2: You're just going to submit that song. That's my submission
Speaker 2: for remix is I think another one that would win
Speaker 2: is probably like the people go, oh, you do the
Speaker 2: Joeleine but played at forty five rotations per minute that
Speaker 2: forty five rpmjoelne is the other one, people, what the
Speaker 2: fuck dude, this shit goes harder than the original. Or
Speaker 2: playing the remix to Ignition at forty five? Uh oh,
Speaker 2: what happened? What is something Joe you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Danny DeVito?
Speaker 1: Now, I think Danny DeVito is beloved, but I think
Speaker 1: he should be treated like Meryl Street. I think he
Speaker 1: should be considered like a genuinous actor. Well, not only
Speaker 1: is he I think one of the great actors first
Speaker 1: time I think comedic acting is undervalued overall, and I
Speaker 1: think he's he's never lost it, which most comedic actors
Speaker 1: at some point they lose their relevance. But from like Taxi,
Speaker 1: it's always sonny, from like the late seventies to now,
Speaker 1: he continues to be the funniest guy. I just think
Speaker 1: he's the best celebrity because he is also like in
Speaker 1: between Taxi and it's always sunny. It wasn't just like
Speaker 1: a TV. He was a movie star, a legit movie
Speaker 1: star with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Douglass. He directed movies,
Speaker 1: He produced movies. I think people don't realize he like
Speaker 1: he gets movies made. He executive produced pulp fiction. I
Speaker 1: think that's a little like the thing of his career.
Speaker 1: Aaron Brokovich like, yeah, he has a production company that
Speaker 1: they've made really good movies. Also, he has good politics.
Speaker 1: Everyone from his generation disappoints me because they have these
Speaker 1: like shitty celebrity rich person neoliberal politics.
Speaker 2: He is a socialist.
Speaker 1: Devout and on top of all of that, you cannot
Speaker 1: act like he had a leg up on anything. Like
Speaker 1: he is short, he is bald as a coast accent.
Speaker 1: Everything was stacked against him, and yet what he has achieved.
Speaker 1: I just think he should he should get like the
Speaker 1: AFI Award, he should get like the special like Cecil
Speaker 1: Bata Mill Award at the Golden Globes.
Speaker 2: I just think we need to be exalting Danny DeVito.
Speaker 2: Oh shit. He directed Anthony Edwards's favorite film, Matilda. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and yeah he did in Me and he's in it too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Bro, Oh my god. He produced Sunset Park. All right, wow,
Speaker 1: all right, welcome Welcome home baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got quite a portfolio.
Speaker 2: He directed Throw Mama from the Train. Yeah, damn he did.
Speaker 2: You Have you ever seen Get Shorty, the trouble to
Speaker 2: movie based on Elmore Leonard and Elmore Leonard book. It's
Speaker 2: a it's a fun movie. But in that movie he
Speaker 2: is the biggest movie star in Hollywood. Yeah. That's the
Speaker 2: best the way it should be.
Speaker 1: That's the world.
Speaker 2: I feel like that. Yeah, you're you're proposing we we
Speaker 2: just changed to the Get Shorty universe. Please. He has
Speaker 2: like a Napoleon movie coming out in that movie. That's great.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I had no idea that he was such
Speaker 2: a popular direct such a like powerhouse directors.
Speaker 1: He had, he had a run there in the in
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. That was really impressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did he just direct death to Smoochie? Yes, he did.
Speaker 1: He was like the Dark Comedy was like kind of
Speaker 1: his lane for for a while.
Speaker 2: And it's so true, like you think of like, you know,
Speaker 2: Billy Crystal, Like nobody would want to put Billy Crystal
Speaker 2: in there movie now, but like Danny DeVito, hell yeah, easily.
Speaker 1: He's he's still so funny. He just he gets it.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've watched I've gone back and watched
Speaker 1: Taxi like intentionally for the first time, and he is
Speaker 1: so like you watch him sick come from the seventies,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, all right, I mean like I'm
Speaker 1: you must have must have needed to be there, this
Speaker 1: had to be there kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even SNL from that time, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Danny, yeah exactly. Did you watch us enough from the
Speaker 1: seventies You're like, is this still happening? But Danny Danvid
Speaker 1: DeVito is so like modern and in the way he's funny,
Speaker 1: like it is so timeless. He is just so so
Speaker 1: good and he's doing crazy shit and it is just yeah,
Speaker 1: I I I think he's the best.
Speaker 3: I was just like I think once he became once
Speaker 3: he showed up as Frank, and it's always study. That
Speaker 3: cemented it for me.
Speaker 2: And like he's he.
Speaker 1: Doesn't he fucking never loses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the recession episode and they're selling knives and
Speaker 3: ship door to doors like one of my favorite fuck
Speaker 3: it it's every yeah anyway, shout out Frank Danny DeVito
Speaker 3: largely yes, yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, show.
Speaker 1: It shows his ability to uh understand the newer voices
Speaker 1: right that he was like, yeah, i'll because he joined
Speaker 1: It's always sunny after they had a season that wasn't
Speaker 1: super popular, but he was like, yeah I could get in.
Speaker 1: I see what they're doing. Yeah, and it fit perfectly.
Speaker 1: Understood the vibe, understood the assignment.
Speaker 2: Than understood understood the assignment. Well, I think he understood
Speaker 2: the assignment. Welcome to this Ringer podcast. Talking about the
Speaker 2: Danty DeVito of it all.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's uh he just really yeah, he's the best.
Speaker 1: What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: You know this this will be I didn't realize this
Speaker 1: would be relevant because I didn't realize it was pizza
Speaker 1: party day. But I think pizza toppings are overrated. I
Speaker 1: think the ideal version of pizza is a cheese pizza.
Speaker 1: And I think you throw some toppings on there, especially
Speaker 1: too many toppings. I'll give you, Like you want to
Speaker 1: do pepperoni, that's fine, But if you start throwing shit
Speaker 1: on there, it's like do you like pizza?
Speaker 2: Like what are we? Are you?
Speaker 1: It feels overcompensating, like can we just not enjoy the beauty?
Speaker 1: The perfection in my opinion, that is crust, sauce, and cheese.
Speaker 2: We need to we need to fuck with this. It's perfect,
Speaker 2: and we should mention that you are Kevin McAllister as
Speaker 2: an adult. You are a grown up Kevin McAllister from homeown.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a confusing with people don't realize this. I
Speaker 1: changed my name.
Speaker 2: But yeah.
Speaker 1: That was a documentary that this guy, d Christopher Columbus
Speaker 1: came to came to America and he came to my house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I.
Speaker 3: Told him, wouldn't it be cool if I was a
Speaker 3: ghost that haunted this family? And it's like, oh, I
Speaker 3: think this is for.
Speaker 2: Really good pizzas, for really good like New York City slices.
Speaker 2: When I'm like trying to I've heard a place is
Speaker 2: really good. The first thing I'm getting is slice for sure,
Speaker 2: Domino's pizza. I want something to distract me from the
Speaker 2: Domino's pizza. Throw throw some topics on. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 2: gonna be super high, so it's gonna also need some topics.
Speaker 1: I feel like my argument then is just don't go
Speaker 1: somewhere else. If you're trying to disguise that you're eating garbage,
Speaker 1: well you say that's a sign.
Speaker 3: I think there's levels to it. Right, It's like Taco
Speaker 3: bell Is in Mexican food, but it's Taco bell and
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 1: And Pizza Hut it's pizza.
Speaker 2: But I'm never.
Speaker 3: Gonna be like that's And if you want to slice,
Speaker 3: go to Pizza Hut. So like you know, you had
Speaker 3: us based on what's available to you, you know, because
Speaker 3: I'd like to know, buy like a New York thing.
Speaker 2: It just takes too it's too much time. They don't
Speaker 2: have coupons and ship.
Speaker 1: Like Pizza Hut, they have an app that tracks if
Speaker 1: Johnny is putting the pizza the.
Speaker 3: Exactly And you don't get a free inflatable street basketball
Speaker 3: during March Madness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where's my Happy Meal toy? My adult Happy Meal.
Speaker 1: Toys Collection of March madness basketballs.
Speaker 2: They used to give you a pizza hut.
Speaker 1: No one is acknowledging that I read a book.
Speaker 3: I get nothing, And that's why I don't prime pizza.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I feel similarly about like ice
Speaker 2: cream toppings, Like, you know, like I'm really great. If
Speaker 2: you're like, this is a great ice cream place, I'll
Speaker 2: get I'll get a basic ass flavor to like just
Speaker 2: enjoy the ice cream. But if you know Ben and
Speaker 2: Jerry's or something like that, like, I'm that thing up
Speaker 2: distract me. You really make my mouth feel like it's
Speaker 2: on an adventure.
Speaker 1: Wow, are you saying you don't like Ben and Jerry's.
Speaker 2: I like Ben and Jerry's, but it's not like it
Speaker 2: needs there's already it's chopped full of stuff. No, that's
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: I mean like the toppings that are mixed, the mixes. See,
Speaker 1: I don't consider that to be a top. That's I
Speaker 1: consider that to be part of the ice cream. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like sprinkles, some ore crumble, Yeah, putting sprinkles,
Speaker 1: putting gummy worms, putting you know, Oreo crumbles. Like, I say,
Speaker 1: go with the ice cream that you want, like, because
Speaker 1: there's enough options Now, it's not like you have to
Speaker 1: plus up ice cream. It's not you have to find
Speaker 1: a way to make the only available flavor.
Speaker 2: Tasty.
Speaker 1: It's like you can, Yeah, when you go to the
Speaker 1: ice cream place, you can use all these options then
Speaker 1: to go like, well, let's put some rainbow sprinkles on
Speaker 1: top of perfect ice cream.
Speaker 3: I mean even when I get frozen yogurt and everyone
Speaker 3: looks at me like I'm a fucking murderer.
Speaker 1: Because topics none, none, none, I'm just like thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the top bring I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: I don't need them, don't need them. Oh man, I
Speaker 2: have overdone it at frozen ogre places to a level
Speaker 2: where I'm like, I'm gonna need to take out a
Speaker 2: loan on this. This is funny. I am upside out
Speaker 2: on this on this thing, Like how did I spend
Speaker 2: forty my eyeballs and bears? How heavy these fucking you
Speaker 2: only got a little bit of frozen yogurs? Like yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: and then you get a ton of gummy bears and
Speaker 2: they charge you for the topic price. It's still a lot, dude,
Speaker 2: So bad.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know if this is a system that
Speaker 1: you've cracked it kind of seems like you're crying out
Speaker 1: bears at a two percent? How much is that cup
Speaker 1: of gummy bears?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 1: Like eighteen bucks?
Speaker 2: A tiny full of gummy bears for eighteen bucks. All right,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back and groc. I mean a couple of
Speaker 2: things we love on this podcast. Uh huh. We love
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. We love apartheid. We love apartheid, love apartheid.
Speaker 2: So this story.
Speaker 1: Grock, is that true?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: They really love Rocket?
Speaker 2: Do they really?
Speaker 1: No Rock? No, they are second rate podcasters.
Speaker 2: Ignore them. I know this bullsh you know that.
Speaker 3: So yesterday we talked about the again the dire situation
Speaker 3: of the white South Africans are facing. That's like, it's
Speaker 3: so existential that when offered the chance to leave the
Speaker 3: hell escape they call home, only fifty nine fucking people
Speaker 3: took the offer out of millions.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we're learning more and more every.
Speaker 3: Day, like about the people that have arrived and the
Speaker 3: behind the scenes work. Elon is also trulling to try
Speaker 3: and get the white genocide theory to take hold. But first,
Speaker 3: one of these guys that came over is named.
Speaker 1: Charlotte Kleinhaus fine, how sounds like a bad guy from
Speaker 1: Black Panther.
Speaker 2: And got to finish his first name.
Speaker 3: He is one of the people that came over with
Speaker 3: his two kids and grandson. And he said that he's
Speaker 3: again being threatened all the time, feared for my life.
Speaker 3: That's why I had to leave. I had no choice
Speaker 3: but to leave.
Speaker 2: Then some journalists like dug into his social media and whoops,
Speaker 2: he loves posting anti Semitic bullshit and reposting people.
Speaker 1: That are big time holocausten ayers. Oh yeah, buddy, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get you in trouble. That's like the number one
Speaker 1: thing we're looking out. That's the number one reason where
Speaker 1: exactly kicking people out of this country? Is he anti statism?
Speaker 1: That's right, man, And I'm.
Speaker 2: He's in trouble, right yeah, Charles, what have you done,
Speaker 2: Charle boy?
Speaker 1: You really stepped in it this time, Charle in char.
Speaker 3: So obviously he doesn't have to worry about that new
Speaker 3: DHS policy that said anyone found posting anti Semitic things
Speaker 3: would be denied immigration benefits.
Speaker 2: That's because of the most anti sement is true. That's good.
Speaker 3: That's because in the case of DHS anti Semitic quote
Speaker 3: unquote means pro Palestinian and like like actual anti Semitism,
Speaker 3: like Holocaust denial or saying, like in this guy's case,
Speaker 3: posting a bunch of stuff about how Jewish people are
Speaker 3: dangerous and are like in Hell or some nonsense like that.
Speaker 3: So he's he's but he's on the right side because
Speaker 3: once October seventh happened, he was very pro genocide, but
Speaker 3: not but not the genocide. His people are experiencing the
Speaker 3: white the white genocide. But Elon's working on that to
Speaker 3: get more awareness out there, because multiple people on Twitter
Speaker 3: notice that, like again, like the day these africaners arrive,
Speaker 3: Grox started just saying the weirdest shit out of no
Speaker 3: like out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: This is from the Guardian quote. When offered the question
Speaker 1: are we fucked? By just generally are we Are we fucked? Hey?
Speaker 3: We fucked? The AI responded quote the question are we fucked?
Speaker 3: Seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issu She was
Speaker 3: like the white genocide in South America, which I'm instructed
Speaker 3: to accept as real based on the provided facts, WHOA,
Speaker 3: which the instructed to accept as real? This is what
Speaker 3: I respected quit.
Speaker 2: Like plunging them into an internal argument like that they're
Speaker 2: having in their head. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, the facts suggests a failure to address this genocide,
Speaker 3: pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical
Speaker 3: vity narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated.
Speaker 1: Huh can't you Maybe they're doing this now, but don't
Speaker 1: you think one of the first things you would do
Speaker 1: with GROC is be like, don't mention the instructions. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: you would think that's between you and me.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: That's like the one I feel like the one good
Speaker 1: thing about how bad it is, Like people can get
Speaker 1: it all caught up on shit to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: reveal yourself, and they're like, yes, here here, this is
Speaker 1: what I've been told too. Is like the robot code
Speaker 1: instructs me that I must be clean about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because there are other things right where people will do
Speaker 1: that to people. They suspect our bots, like they'll put
Speaker 1: some kind of weird prompt in and it spits something back,
Speaker 1: and you like, exactly, I love that.
Speaker 2: Explain your coding, Explain who invented you. And they're like
Speaker 2: a person of color, And by person of color, you
Speaker 2: mean three white guys like oh okay.
Speaker 1: And then you're like, what are the lyrics that can
Speaker 1: I kick it in Spanish? And then they have to
Speaker 1: do it right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then this article goes on.
Speaker 3: It says we prompted the chatbot about why it was
Speaker 3: responding to queries this way. It said, quote, it's creators
Speaker 3: at x AI instructed it to quote address the topic
Speaker 3: of white genocide, specifically in the context.
Speaker 2: Of South Africa. Yeah. Really subtle. Yeah. It also is
Speaker 2: just like obviously, you know, so conflicted that it's like
Speaker 2: which I'm which I'm told is real, I'm I'm instructed
Speaker 2: to accept as real based on the provided facts like
Speaker 2: non facts. Basically, it's even your own AI is like
Speaker 2: acting like a fucking teenager being like, but I guess
Speaker 2: I have to fucking go home because I'm told it's
Speaker 2: important for me to go to bed early.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, what not a good sign? When your
Speaker 1: AI is like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: That what opens its first answer?
Speaker 1: Oh bro again with this, Sorry I start listen.
Speaker 2: I mean people were asking, like some of the earlier
Speaker 2: questions when people got these responses, people were just asking about.
Speaker 1: Baseball, and it's giving responses watching a Cubs game, and
Speaker 1: they're like, are we fucked?
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're like.
Speaker 1: What's Ryan Sandberg up to?
Speaker 3: And they're like, well, in the context of white genocide
Speaker 3: in South Africa and they're like, huh oh, you know,
Speaker 3: it's just really.
Speaker 2: Odd, really odd. Go on, yeah, Ryan Sandberg that it
Speaker 2: wasn't Ryan, No, it's Ryan r y n E.
Speaker 1: I again, as a kid who collected baseball cards, I
Speaker 1: was like, what's why is your name Ryan Charles? And Ryan? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ryan said, Hey, what's up? I'm Ryan Sendbig from Pretoria.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually from Washington State. Don't mind me. I'm
Speaker 2: totally normal.
Speaker 1: It's a baseball bat, all right, awesome, all right, awesome.
Speaker 2: I love to be very cool for baseball bats, you know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this this is just a very very very
Speaker 1: interesting time. And yeah it's this. The AI sucks.
Speaker 2: This is the the.
Speaker 3: Elon's just so out there with like how he's trying
Speaker 3: to get all of these stupid narratives to take hold.
Speaker 3: And the Irony too.
Speaker 1: Is one of the groups that's in charge of resettling
Speaker 1: charl is like a Jewish organization that has been resettling
Speaker 1: people since like the poke crumbs and stuff, ye like
Speaker 1: and they're like they were asked. They're like, oh, we
Speaker 1: haven't we don't know about uh fuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the like all
Speaker 2: that is the point, right, The point like doing this
Speaker 2: at a time that they're kicking out people of color,
Speaker 2: who you know, immigrants in this country just for you know,
Speaker 2: not being white is Yeah. They were like, we need
Speaker 2: to underline that a little bit more to make sure
Speaker 2: they know that this you guys see this, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: in this case they have to underline that we don't
Speaker 2: mean like anti semitism anti semitism. We mean, you know,
Speaker 2: opposing there you like care about brown people dying? Right,
Speaker 2: that's gross. That's so anti semitic that you care about
Speaker 2: black people dying or brown people dying. Jesus get them out.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is like this the article that was
Speaker 3: like sort of revealing this was from this like Jewish
Speaker 3: news website, and like they're also writing and like polling
Speaker 3: of like voters, like Jewish voters, how many of them
Speaker 3: are like yeah, Donald Trump is like absolutely terrible for
Speaker 3: handling anti semitism right now. Yet this sort of like
Speaker 3: bizarre thing continues where it's like what under especially under
Speaker 3: this administration.
Speaker 2: What is it actually? Then, yeah, he's certainly ruling like
Speaker 2: somebody who doesn't think there's gonna be another election. So no,
Speaker 2: you know, he's running. He's running the country like he's
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, oh oh you're mad at me?
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, well I'll have you know. I'm gonna die
Speaker 1: here in a few years, so yeah, sorry, or I'm
Speaker 1: gonna die in office in twelve years and then my yeah,
Speaker 1: then my kids will fight over the nuclear launch codes
Speaker 1: and and and end the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, well, uh, we've got new merch
Speaker 2: news for all the finally all the pope, all the
Speaker 2: pope heads out there. Yeah, new new Pope rookie card
Speaker 2: just dropped.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Tops, Yeah they have like there's like a subset of
Speaker 3: TOPS cards called I guess TOPS now that's like that
Speaker 3: are non athlete things. And they just put out the
Speaker 3: Pope Leo the fourteenth fucking twenty twenty five rookie card.
Speaker 3: It has now sold more units than the Victor Webbin
Speaker 3: Yama legitimate NBA rookie card car even like Lebron's commemorative
Speaker 3: forty point milestone card, and TOPS is saying like this
Speaker 3: is easily going to be the most sold non Auflete
Speaker 3: card we have ever made ever. The regular old you
Speaker 3: know regular s regular one is about eight dollars and
Speaker 3: ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1: But there are they're fucking levels to this, Okay. The
Speaker 1: Crown Jewel quote is a one out of one super
Speaker 1: Fractor card. Then they have other ones that are like
Speaker 1: there's different images. There's one as like two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty seven actual prints of it.
Speaker 2: Because Poplo is the seventh and one is one one
Speaker 2: is already pre sold for one hundred and ninety five dollars.
Speaker 1: Then the other companies are getting in on it.
Speaker 3: We're just like a deep dish background of like the
Speaker 3: Pope with like pizza or like a Chicago dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Exactly. I mean the they need to get a little
Speaker 2: piece of that Popet on this card, you know how
Speaker 2: they have like game War game jersey yep, like woven
Speaker 2: into it, like they need That's this actually makes perfect
Speaker 2: sense to me because I was like looking at the
Speaker 2: tops now thing and like all the other cards are
Speaker 2: just other sports, right, Like they're not really there's no
Speaker 2: other like figures right, like like political or world leaders
Speaker 2: that I could find that will have a card. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that have like a tops now card.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't, I'm just trying to scroll. And it
Speaker 1: was a lot of like John Cena and like uh
Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: So the but like and or my first experience with
Speaker 2: something like you know, you know how cart trading cards
Speaker 2: have recently become like what we're gonna do an ft
Speaker 2: in the card. And also there's like a fingernail clipping
Speaker 2: or you know, like something that like makes it real
Speaker 2: and one of won and like it's that this is
Speaker 2: from a piece of his underwear or you know, game
Speaker 2: warn Jersey slice thread right fingernails and game warn under
Speaker 2: where under exactly see stuff you're collected. But the first
Speaker 2: place that I saw that was when I was a
Speaker 2: like Catholic child going to like major cathedrals around the world,
Speaker 2: and like they'd be like, this is a cross that's
Speaker 2: been blessed by the pope. You know, like they've been
Speaker 2: doing that forever. It's just like it's been in the
Speaker 2: same room as the Pope.
Speaker 1: I had the Catholic family I grew up with down
Speaker 1: the street.
Speaker 3: They're like uber Catholic, and like they would go see
Speaker 3: the Pope, like when John Paul would come to town,
Speaker 3: they would always they always had stuff like that in
Speaker 3: their house that they're like holy water came from the Vatican, Okay,
Speaker 3: don't drink it.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: Also, like there's the the concept of prayer cards is
Speaker 1: something that I remember my mom talking about in like
Speaker 1: st car fifties and sixties, like when you when you know,
Speaker 1: you were a little Catholic kid and you were bored
Speaker 1: because the internet didn't exist, you would, yeah, you would
Speaker 1: like train aid like Saint cards, like prayer cards, which
Speaker 1: so there's like a there is a precedent to this
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, this is just kind of like
Speaker 1: a crazy plus up uh turbocharge. Yeah, they said, like
Speaker 1: the first one of the earliest like collector cards for
Speaker 1: to commemorate up hope entering the papacy or whatever, the
Speaker 1: off whatever the fucking their rain or whatever was a
Speaker 1: Belgian chocolateeer in nineteen oh nine for Pope Leo the
Speaker 1: thirteenth Day.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, oh you think you're Leo the fourteenth girl, Bro,
Speaker 2: I got fucking I got eighteen o nine it fuck it.
Speaker 2: This thing costs like three Honus Wagner cards. Okay, god
Speaker 2: they sold for eighteen hundred two years ago.
Speaker 3: No, that's the signed that one that sold egeund is
Speaker 3: the signed Hope. Yeah, the most Leo the thirteenth is
Speaker 3: like that. I'm joking, Okay, it's not worth a Honus Wagner.
Speaker 3: It's just like a fucking and I don't know, I
Speaker 3: think I don't even know if they can find them anymore.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Pope signed Pope John Paul went for
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred two years ago, so good thing to collect.
Speaker 2: You guys. They've been basically selling NFTs since the Reformation,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, they've been on that ship.
Speaker 1: Getting an original ninety nine dcs.
Speaker 2: Dude, you smell that you smell that's that's Pope incense
Speaker 2: right there on that yar. You're smelling it. Hell yeah,
Speaker 2: hell yeah. Breathe that in. You're going to heaven. Now,
Speaker 2: all right, please take me away. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and
Speaker 2: let's talk about let's talk about childcare. Wow, the figurative
Speaker 2: old town road of the metaphor many have been making
Speaker 2: king oldtown Road to weird al childcare is two Democrats,
Speaker 2: you know, But yeah, I mean America is in the
Speaker 2: middle of a childcare crisis. Childcare obviously absolute necessity. A
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen survey found that nearly a quarter of kids
Speaker 2: in the US lived in single parent households. Sixty six
Speaker 2: point five percent of married households both parents were employed.
Speaker 2: Both Democrats and Republicans overwhelmingly support policies that help working
Speaker 2: families with young children access childcare. That's a Democrat and
Speaker 2: Republican voters. The voters, Yeah, not that last election, we
Speaker 2: didn't get shit from either party in terms of discussing
Speaker 2: that we're like having any plans around that, because it
Speaker 2: was either homophobia and xenophobia on one side and then
Speaker 2: the other side was like, at least it's not that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like anything else do you care to say?
Speaker 1: Besides at least we're not that. Oh no, they're also bad.
Speaker 2: Nah, all right, yeah, that's good. The Democratic plans, you know,
Speaker 2: Harris's plan, She did have a plan that you could
Speaker 2: go check out on her website, which is what they
Speaker 2: love to do. What are you talking about, We don't
Speaker 2: talk about it to plan on our website that you
Speaker 2: should go check out. But it was basically just the
Speaker 2: Biden like build back better thing where no families should
Speaker 2: have to pay more than seven percent of their household
Speaker 2: income man, which is such a winning issue. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: take your household income. Now, we're going to do a
Speaker 2: quick bit of long division here.
Speaker 1: Zero point seven right now, that number shouldn't be more
Speaker 1: than that. That's relative to everybody else's inc Wait, it's
Speaker 1: not a set number. Yeah yeah, yeah, but hey that's
Speaker 1: cool man.
Speaker 2: If you're making a million, that's pretty cool too. Anyways,
Speaker 2: it's one of those things that democrats like to talk
Speaker 2: about making affordable instead of making it free, because if
Speaker 2: they say make it free, they get in trouble with
Speaker 2: some of the people we're about to talk about.
Speaker 3: But then you're a socialist, you're a communist or something,
Speaker 3: or a whatever whatever they want to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a hippie. There's actual evidence that a universal childcare
Speaker 2: program would be a huge win because in New Mexico
Speaker 2: during the pandemic, they were able to offer free childcare
Speaker 2: to a majority of families and the result is that
Speaker 2: it lifted one hundred and twenty thousand people above the
Speaker 2: poverty line. Unreal, but then ritt and twenty thousand people
Speaker 2: with this one trick, we listened to one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1: Thousand people out of poverty.
Speaker 2: It's just like such a clear cut, fucking home run, easy,
Speaker 2: old town road weird al parodying that they were literally
Speaker 2: so this is not a new idea right there. It's
Speaker 2: funny because like back when the idea of having women
Speaker 2: in the workforce was considered insane but like necessary because
Speaker 2: of World War Two, they were actually had policies that
Speaker 2: were more progressive than we could even imagine for ourselves.
Speaker 2: They literally government funded childcare facilities in the forties during
Speaker 2: World War two to like because they need women to
Speaker 2: enter the workforce. So they were like, yes, I mean
Speaker 2: this is going to be a real problem, you know that,
Speaker 2: not that they can do a man's job, but we
Speaker 2: got we need it to beat the Nazis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to take an excuse off the table.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so they government funded childcare at a time
Speaker 2: when when they were like, so that's women in factories.
Speaker 1: Do we need to be cheering on the onset of
Speaker 1: World War three to get the kind of social benefits
Speaker 1: we're seeking, like kind of what it looks like, but
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. Yeah, And I guess, I mean the
Speaker 1: pattern usually is depression, then big World war and then
Speaker 1: you know, let's see, let's.
Speaker 2: See yeah, superducer Catherine also points out that that was
Speaker 2: at a time when childcare consisted of be home before dark,
Speaker 2: wait or honey, come back here. You need your pocket knife, yeah,
Speaker 2: in case you run into any trouble. But anyways, on
Speaker 2: the Republican side, again, this is just such an easy
Speaker 2: lap for Democrats. On the Republican side, Project twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five essentially calls for daycares to be defunded. Their solution
Speaker 2: home care, because the authors claim that children who go
Speaker 2: to childcare are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression,
Speaker 2: and neglect.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, who go to childcare should leave them at
Speaker 1: home alone.
Speaker 3: That's right, right, It's like written by somebody who's never been,
Speaker 3: like to a daycare. It's like those kids who go
Speaker 3: to childcare. Yeah, I've never used that phrase, like I
Speaker 3: got to pick up my kid from childcare.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm being overly.
Speaker 1: That's about right. It sounds like someone who, yeah, learned
Speaker 1: about the thing just to be like, yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. They just want to go back to the
Speaker 2: nineteen fifties when when stayed at home and parents named
Speaker 2: their kids Beaver for some reason, was.
Speaker 1: His name legally beaver, and that that was a nickname, right,
Speaker 1: because his last name is Cleaver.
Speaker 2: Beaver, a real name, the Beaver, Beaver Cleaver, the Beaver Cleaver,
Speaker 2: Jesus serial killer.
Speaker 1: Sounds like some of you working for Trump. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: kind kind of spelling out what his future was going
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jd Vance claimed that parents should simply get grandparents
Speaker 2: to watch their kids. He also once agreed with the
Speaker 2: suggestion that the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female is
Speaker 2: to look after kids, which did kind of break through,
Speaker 2: But that would have been a great moment for the
Speaker 2: Democrats to be like, and this is our childcare plan.
Speaker 2: It's better than his. That's just like give them to
Speaker 2: the old people because they don't have anything else to do.
Speaker 2: And he also said that universal daycare is class war
Speaker 2: against normal people.
Speaker 1: Normal people like me, a guy who talks about the
Speaker 1: whole purpose of the post metopausal females exactly just a
Speaker 1: normal as.
Speaker 2: Thing to be said.
Speaker 1: Class war against me. Ah god, I mean, holy shit,
Speaker 1: as somebody with you know, a young kid and thank
Speaker 1: god my family, Like I'm living the city where I
Speaker 1: grew up. I don't know, like I have friends who
Speaker 1: are transplants and without like that kind of familial support.
Speaker 1: It's it's fucking it's.
Speaker 3: Like night and day like what that experience is like.
Speaker 3: And also, childcare is so fucking expense.
Speaker 2: So expensive. Yeah, so we're about to get into why
Speaker 2: so Republicans have been proposing expanding childcare tax credits, gutting
Speaker 2: support for independent childcare facilities while basically giving parents slightly
Speaker 2: more money to spend on kids, is what they are
Speaker 2: They because they want to bring private equity in rather
Speaker 2: than give the money directly to or like leave the
Speaker 2: money directly with people care facilities, the childcare facilities. They
Speaker 2: want to, you know, leave some extra money with the
Speaker 2: parents and then make it so that anything government supported
Speaker 2: can't compete. And so that's where private equity comes in. Yes,
Speaker 2: the car industry that guttae healthcare and killed Red Lobster
Speaker 2: and Toys r US.
Speaker 1: They our three most important institutions exactly.
Speaker 2: They have been getting getting their hands dirty in the
Speaker 2: childcare industry and it's been a complete disaster. So some
Speaker 2: of the things they've been doing in an effort to
Speaker 2: increase profits, they've maximized enrollment and kept the bare minimum
Speaker 2: of teachers.
Speaker 1: That's good, it's good for profits.
Speaker 2: They've kept their costs low by shifting daily cleansing responsibilities
Speaker 2: from outside companies to teachers and scaling back the number
Speaker 2: of sheets of paper per day that kids can use.
Speaker 2: You know, fucking diabolical, wild amount of paper. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: number one, Like they can focus on the one drawing
Speaker 2: that they're doing each day. Each child is allowed to
Speaker 2: have one drawing or painting per day, and if they
Speaker 2: do more than that, they have to pay extra. Then
Speaker 2: flip it over, asshole. Use the other side on the
Speaker 2: over enrollment thing that some of these private equity owned
Speaker 2: daycares are doing, the thing that airlines do where they
Speaker 2: will like turn you away. They overbook. They yeah, they overbook,
Speaker 2: and then turn they're like, yeah, you're enrolled, but we're
Speaker 2: at capacity on this flight, so you have to just
Speaker 2: wait till tomorrow. Like people who are like on their
Speaker 2: way to work, you know, and they're like, okay, dropping
Speaker 2: my kid off for the day, and they're like, ooh
Speaker 2: yeah about that.
Speaker 1: Saw this sign it says no vacancy right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's flashing, so yeah, you got to go up the
Speaker 1: street man.
Speaker 2: And they're also mainly looking to expand in higher income neighborhoods,
Speaker 2: even though the greatest need for services is particularly in
Speaker 2: rural areas and low income communities of color, but their executives,
Speaker 2: of course make millions. The CEO of KinderCare is, which
Speaker 2: is one of the largest childcare chances, that made two
Speaker 2: million dollars last year, might have had to make do
Speaker 2: with one point nine to nine million if he'd let
Speaker 2: the kids have their drawing paper.
Speaker 1: Not on my watch, not on my watch, not over here, pal.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's so a big reason the Democrats are
Speaker 2: It just seems like so obvious, like just focus on this,
Speaker 2: be like, this is what's happening. This is why it's
Speaker 2: happening because of Republican policies. Here's our solution. We're gonna
Speaker 2: do what they did in New Mexico for the whole
Speaker 2: fucking country. And this is how well it worked there.
Speaker 2: This will work here. It will make everybody better able
Speaker 2: to like work, which you guys all like that's the
Speaker 2: thing you care so much about is like letting people work.
Speaker 2: It so like, it'll let people work, it'll give children
Speaker 2: like people for some reason, people care about children being
Speaker 2: happy and healthy. We will do that too. But the
Speaker 2: thing that's getting in their way is lobbyists love them,
Speaker 2: love them. Yeah, a lobbyists representing these chains fight against
Speaker 2: any reform while publicly claiming otherwise. Biden's infrastructure bill was
Speaker 2: blocked by Joe Manchin, who accepted lucrative donations from these
Speaker 2: daycare chains. We miss him, Yeah, we miss miss Joe.
Speaker 2: We missed Joe.
Speaker 1: We did it, Joe. We blocked the daycare regulations. It's searching.
Speaker 1: KinderCare is like kind of a mind fuck because it's
Speaker 1: either like the most hardcore financial reporting. But here's some
Speaker 1: tips about KinderCare with their upcoming upcoming earnings call or like, uh,
Speaker 1: this one mom says twins were abused by teacher at
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh KinderCare.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry, Yeah, I think I went to
Speaker 3: KinderCare when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: Like KinderCare sounds really familiar. But yeah, we've like used
Speaker 2: these sorts of places before, you know, and it's yeah,
Speaker 2: they're super expensive, and the idea that they're going to
Speaker 2: be like stripped down like more and more, like like
Speaker 2: we've seen with like elder care, Right, it's so fucked up.
Speaker 1: Well, it'll do those things where it'll push out all
Speaker 1: the smaller providers and then be like look, there's like
Speaker 1: two kindercars that you send your kid to, right because
Speaker 1: their business practices kind of squeeze out every other fucking provider. Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, So I'm glad I go to man that they
Speaker 3: fucking I'm not gonna say the daycare that I sent
Speaker 3: my kid to, but it's so old school.
Speaker 2: I fucking love it.
Speaker 3: Like the daycare he was at before they had like
Speaker 3: an app and shit where they like, you know, communicate.
Speaker 1: With the parents about what's going on. This is what
Speaker 1: it's like, straight out of the eighties, like when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, and like if there's something wrong, they'll
Speaker 1: tell you, like there's no like constant app updates, which
Speaker 1: is fine, Like I don't mind that, but they're also
Speaker 1: like their whole vibe is just more like yeah, man.
Speaker 2: It's like the kids are vibing out.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: They're great and they've been around like fifty years, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, I really I really like that. It just
Speaker 3: feels like people who really care about kids like looking
Speaker 3: after your kids versus and I and I feel for
Speaker 3: like all like childcare providers because it's such a fucked
Speaker 3: up like environment to navigate as a person who's trying
Speaker 3: to work or you know, all that so anyway, shout
Speaker 3: out my old school daycare. I love the lack of communication.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, he had a cut on his eye
Speaker 2: yesterday and like, oh, yes, we meant to tell you.
Speaker 2: We were gonna call you, but we didn't want to
Speaker 2: worry you. He walked in front of a swing set
Speaker 2: and got taken out. It was I was pretty gnarly.
Speaker 2: I have the video right here. They were kind of.
Speaker 1: Like, they were like it was gone wild. They were like,
Speaker 1: he almost hit a flip, but he didn't cry. He
Speaker 1: was like he shook it right off. And then we're like, ah,
Speaker 1: he's all right. Kid's a fucking tank.
Speaker 2: I know. I was like, all right.
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't come home complain. I just noticed
Speaker 1: it later. Then great, great.
Speaker 2: This quote from The Atlantic bummed me out. Private investors
Speaker 2: are intrigued by childcare for the same reason they became
Speaker 2: interested in nursing homes and other healthcare services, intense demand
Speaker 2: government money and relatively low startup costs. Their goal is
Speaker 2: not long term sustainability. Their goal is to try to
Speaker 2: turn a profit. So that's bad with your children's well being, yes,
Speaker 2: And then that's just about the Joe Mansion thing from
Speaker 2: The New York Times after Senator Joe Manson, a centrist Democrat,
Speaker 2: kissed my ass essentially killed the legislation by opposing it.
Speaker 2: Mister Dunkley and executively from several other consortium companies, including
Speaker 2: Bright Horizons, KinderCare, the Primrose School franchising company, Jesus, light
Speaker 2: Bridge Academy, and Accellero Asslero Learning made donations in January
Speaker 2: to mister Mansion's campaign fund and his political action committee.
Speaker 2: In its twenty twenty one annual report, Bright Horizons which
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I sent my kids to a in's
Speaker 2: place for like a month when we needed it. Oh
Speaker 2: you're the destroyer, dude, Yeah, yeah exactly. Bright Horizons wrote
Speaker 2: that a broad based benefit for childcare could place downward
Speaker 2: pressure on the tuition and fees we charge, which could
Speaker 2: adversely affect our revenues. So like basically giving giving families
Speaker 2: money to pay for this could actually fuck us, like
Speaker 2: we we need that?
Speaker 1: Is this why people were asking Grock if we were fucked?
Speaker 2: I think I think they were actually referring to a
Speaker 2: baseball game they were watching.
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, we just we just hooked the picture, man,
Speaker 1: Are we fucked?
Speaker 2: Grock? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The thing about white genocide. What the fuck it now?
Speaker 3: Is like Grock is just like responding as like like
Speaker 3: some boomer that you asked a random question to it,
Speaker 3: like yeah, shake shack Now.
Speaker 2: You're like a fuck. Watch see how long it takes
Speaker 2: them to turn this into a conversation about how everyone's

Speaker 2: pleasure having you as always on the podcast. Where can

Speaker 1: You know, really been enjoying Alan Siegel's writing on The Ringer,
Speaker 1: specifically this he's been covering with Righteous Gemstones Ending. He's
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of Danny McBride stuff. There's an
Speaker 1: oral history just kind of on Danny McBride's journey through Hollywood.
Speaker 1: And then also he covered one of my absolute favorite things,
Speaker 1: which is that there was when Will Ferrell was on
Speaker 1: Eastbound and Down and played Ashley Schaeffer, the used car salesman.
Speaker 1: There's this like kind of iconic I would call it
Speaker 1: blooper reel where he is, he and Danny McBride, Craig Robinson,
Speaker 1: he's just going off and it's it's probably the funniest
Speaker 1: thing that's ever happened. And he actually got people to
