Speaker 1: how the tables have turned the current tables in the
Speaker 1: guest seat today, Yeah, last second doing you know, truly
Speaker 1: heroic stepping up, showing courage, having to come up with
Speaker 1: an overrated, underrated in search history in a matter of moments. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, I think pretty thoroughly held it down on
Speaker 1: the trending episodes. What ye get them on? Mike, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I just love to talk about pop culture.
Speaker 1: That's what I love about trend Like whatever bullshit pop
Speaker 1: culture thing that's a top of my mind. I get
Speaker 1: to say it. We appreciate it because you drag us
Speaker 1: into two. Also, you're like, Okay, here's the gen Z
Speaker 1: rap for this week on TikTok, and I'm like, this
Speaker 1: guy is so good, and that one was really good
Speaker 1: the past ones because I started looking at that channel
Speaker 1: pretty I mean the command of like the like that
Speaker 1: person they have flow and also like there they made
Speaker 1: me feel really old because I'm like that child looks sixteen,
Speaker 1: and he just what's the apt for people? What's their handles?
Speaker 1: So people can find that great question, let me dig
Speaker 1: into our group chat. Well, while you do that, we're
Speaker 1: going to tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about, and then well we'll come back find
Speaker 1: out that handle and find out a little bit more
Speaker 1: about you. One of the things we're talking about is
Speaker 1: just the impossibility of following the war in Ukraine, Russia's
Speaker 1: invasion of Ukraine, and you know, or any war. Really
Speaker 1: it's it's the propaganda mills going to overdrive. But I'm
Speaker 1: just seeing a lot of people, I'm having a lot
Speaker 1: of people quote myths to me, and so I just
Speaker 1: just wanted to kind of give a run through talk
Speaker 1: about the state of that because that I do feel
Speaker 1: like that is one of the things. One of the
Speaker 1: parts of this experience of the past week or so
Speaker 1: is just it's it's really hard to tell what the
Speaker 1: funk is going on. I found a handle, Okay, hit us.
Speaker 1: It is Mr Grande official. Yes, that's Mr Grande Official
Speaker 1: of course, Mikey Angelo. Yeah, and that's based on Starbucks
Speaker 1: order their favorite Starbucks order. I believe that's cool dad joke. Hey,
Speaker 1: this guy's got a grand day. Huh Hey here Mr
Speaker 1: Grande over here? Am all right? Actually, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Just I ordered a medium at Starbucks? Okay, Jim go
Speaker 1: to or Jim teacher insults. We got Ariana Grande over here? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: little boy, We're gonna talk about why we want to
Speaker 1: fuck all these leader is during a crisis? Are we
Speaker 1: too horny for again? It happened again, fauci Zalinski. We
Speaker 1: just we want to fucking folks, We just we just
Speaker 1: all want to have sex with him. Now we'll well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. Yeah, it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: meme that continues to bubble. All of that. We will
Speaker 1: also check in on the just blatant racism that we're
Speaker 1: seeing in the coverage of the invasion of Ukraine. All
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Becca Ramos, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history.
Speaker 1: I just pull this up and it is Alians Travel Insurance,
Speaker 1: which I really thought it was called Alliance Travel Insurance.
Speaker 1: But I do not have a good history of reading
Speaker 1: things properly, So when I was on the phone with them,
Speaker 1: they said it's alions but no, no, no, they you
Speaker 1: know the phone lines is like, oh their own trouble insurance. Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, miss, I don't know what you're saying. Are
Speaker 1: you trying to yeah, because you were saying something else. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now the man was really nice, Andrew was a king.
Speaker 1: He really helped me with all my insurance questions. But
Speaker 1: I'm going to Peru on Sunday for a week or
Speaker 1: two do a little work from Peru trip with my
Speaker 1: partner as he gets some stuff settled in Peru, and
Speaker 1: I needed to get us travel insurance in case we
Speaker 1: get COVID or some other weird stuff, right right, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess anything happens. I don't want to pay fifty
Speaker 1: in medical fees. No, no, no, no one wants that.
Speaker 1: What do you someone in America just getting exactly It's
Speaker 1: like my own insurance doesn't cover things, let alone can't
Speaker 1: imagine in a foreign country. So I was like, should
Speaker 1: we get travel insurance? And he was like uh, And
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to get That is the
Speaker 1: response that means you are wrong, and I'm right. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into I think, man's wait, are you
Speaker 1: going to We're going to Lima, and then I think
Speaker 1: we're going to spend a couple of days in Gusco
Speaker 1: Machu Picchu. So damn you're going to do the hike.
Speaker 1: It's a question that's like, you can't, you can't have
Speaker 1: I got all my shots, y'all. It took a long time.
Speaker 1: It was like I had to run around New York
Speaker 1: City at the three different doctor's office because your insurance
Speaker 1: only takes it here, and like a lot of travel
Speaker 1: doctors don't take insurance. And it was a whole thing.
Speaker 1: But I got my tay Foy vaccinine. I like, re
Speaker 1: uped on that tetanus. She should be good to go.
Speaker 1: I got the anti elevation meds, the uh anti diretic
Speaker 1: down yeah because they say grounded. Yeah, so right, that
Speaker 1: makes sense. But it was a lot. I was, of course,
Speaker 1: all things that my partner did not think about. He
Speaker 1: was just like, no, I'm from Peru, Like, why do
Speaker 1: you have to worry about any of these things. I'm good, thanks,
Speaker 1: And I'm like you really like me? Can you just
Speaker 1: send all the food pictures like of c or I
Speaker 1: absolutely just love the potatoes, because isn't that where we
Speaker 1: got isn't that part of Colombian exchange, like Yuka place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I mean my world domination colonial history is bad,
Speaker 1: but I'd assume sure, Yeah, they're big on uko over there,
Speaker 1: and they're cech is made with whitefish versus um. I
Speaker 1: think typically Lisa Mexico, it's shellfish. So excited about that
Speaker 1: because I'm allergure shellfish. So is the anti like altitude
Speaker 1: sickness medication? Is that like over the counter? Did you
Speaker 1: just pick that up or you had to get a prescription?
Speaker 1: So that was a part of the conundrum nightmare is
Speaker 1: that I I had to go to a travel doctor,
Speaker 1: pay a consultation fee from the travel doctor. So I
Speaker 1: had to pay out of pocket hundred seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: just to be seen by the doctor. And then I
Speaker 1: had to pay for each shot, which the shot was
Speaker 1: like a hundred sething dollars to the typhoid shot. It's
Speaker 1: like almost two dollars for a yellow fever shot. And
Speaker 1: then they can prescribe you because they are a doctor,
Speaker 1: the anti diuretic medicine, so they just prescribe me antibiotic
Speaker 1: and then the anti elevation medicine I think does have
Speaker 1: to be prescription. You can't get that over the counter.
Speaker 1: You can get like non drowsy like dramamine for certain things,
Speaker 1: but for like severe elevation, there's like rules you have
Speaker 1: to take it, like a couple of days before you start.
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing. But yeah, you have to go
Speaker 1: to a travel doctor, specifically, because I called my actual
Speaker 1: doctor because I pay for insurance, and they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: simply no, we cannot. And they're like, you idiot, you
Speaker 1: want to get a typhoid vaccine at your hospital that
Speaker 1: you pay insurance money to go see? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta go a travel doctor. Goodbye. You gotta go
Speaker 1: to the shot. I gotta pay them different money. But
Speaker 1: now that I've been at this doctor, I can go
Speaker 1: back and I only have to pay seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: for a clinic visit versus the hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: dollars for the initial consultation fee. The American health care
Speaker 1: system is broken. I think it's perfect. I think they're
Speaker 1: nailing it. They're maximizing profits. I had never heard of
Speaker 1: travel doctor before. I'd never like that as a profession. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is some New York stuff.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I I've also only left the
Speaker 1: country one other time. I've been in Puerto Rico a
Speaker 1: number of times, but I've been to Panama for work
Speaker 1: back in ten. But we stayed in Panama City, so
Speaker 1: I didn't really have to get any vaccines for that,
Speaker 1: and it was like in a resort thing. It was
Speaker 1: just a very beautiful I can't believe it was a
Speaker 1: work trip. It was basically a vacation. But they also
Speaker 1: that job paid me no money, so you know, comes
Speaker 1: and goes got an all expense paid, beautiful trip to Panama,
Speaker 1: but I was getting paid pennies to work eighty hours
Speaker 1: a week. So well, I'm going to Guatemala. I will
Speaker 1: be hiking a volcano, and I will be getting anti elevation.
Speaker 1: You going to Guatemala? Yeah? Is that where you going? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Then the march? Yeah, man, so ze getting hit me up.
Speaker 1: Let me know your your actual doctor might be able
Speaker 1: to give you that anti elevation medicine, though you might
Speaker 1: not have to go. It might be in some New
Speaker 1: yorkship that they make you do this like whole separate travel.
Speaker 1: Just take CBD, bro. My partner was like, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna drink this tea the specialty and I was like
Speaker 1: what and then I google it and like the American
Speaker 1: Healthcare it's like banned in the United States, like you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to have this tea. But that might be
Speaker 1: on some you know, racist stuff. Who knows. Well, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that they're like it's too effective
Speaker 1: and then that affects our ability to put it a
Speaker 1: prescription page. I'm sorry, that's a conspiracy. I'm starting to
Speaker 1: track loosely in my mind is how much stuff is
Speaker 1: being held back and whether people are being actually taken
Speaker 1: out in favor of pharmaceutical profits because is Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: heard some wild shit about you know, the not from
Speaker 1: my wife who was a physician, but from other people
Speaker 1: right out. Yes, this guy a friend of mine, you've
Speaker 1: heard of him. Yeah, more anecdotal stuff, but about like
Speaker 1: people who were researchers into like a HIV cure and
Speaker 1: then that like they had to have security because other
Speaker 1: people who do research into HIV medication and had like
Speaker 1: breakthrough ship like disappeared or died unfortunate deaths. And I
Speaker 1: believe it because I saw the fugitive when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. I don't know that show goes. What what
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? Rebecca, Oh my gosh, okay, controversial,
Speaker 1: but also a quick thing. It's like I have a
Speaker 1: lot of hot takes. But I don't know why I
Speaker 1: was so stumped coming up with and overrated. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put it out there. Bars. I think bars are overrated.
Speaker 1: It's especially post COVID. You know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be crammed up in a room with a bunch of
Speaker 1: people I don't know, breathing their air to drink twenty
Speaker 1: dollar cocktails. Why you know, I don't like to drink
Speaker 1: that much. I really just enjoy intimate friend time and
Speaker 1: I would rather have like eight people over sharing some
Speaker 1: like snacks and bottles of wine. My friend Viv always
Speaker 1: loves a host. She always has people over like every
Speaker 1: other weekend. I swear I go over there and we
Speaker 1: all just like hang out. We drink wine, we have
Speaker 1: snacks and it's like such a lovely time and I
Speaker 1: we will vivis quite a host, so she will like
Speaker 1: either get stuff from like the Chinese market. We'll have
Speaker 1: like a hot pot day one day. We did, you know,
Speaker 1: usually just like some cheeses, some meats, popcorn are the bars?
Speaker 1: What's the bar situation in New York now? Is it
Speaker 1: fully back to mask off, do your thing? We're back?
Speaker 1: I mean I know that technically the policy is that
Speaker 1: you don't need vaccine cards anymore to get into places,
Speaker 1: but I still haven't. Like every time I've gone, I've
Speaker 1: still had to like use my vaccine cards. So they're
Speaker 1: still like requiring it most places because it is like
Speaker 1: up to you, but like legally they don't have to anymore.
Speaker 1: A lot of them are still requiring vaccine cards. But
Speaker 1: it's just like New York's a small place, or I
Speaker 1: mean it's a big place, but like this the spacing itself,
Speaker 1: so we're on top of each other. So it was
Speaker 1: just like what's the point, and like just like going, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all vaccinated, but we're all like the second we
Speaker 1: get in mass off or drinking, like we're on top
Speaker 1: of each other. It's like hot and sweaty, and then
Speaker 1: it's cold outside, and I just like, don't I'd rather
Speaker 1: just stay at home and hang and you can't hear anybody.
Speaker 1: Everyone's yelling sometimes the music is bad. I understand the
Speaker 1: allure of an outdoor bar experience in the summer, Like
Speaker 1: that's a part of summer. But outside of that, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I don't really even because we haven't like we don't
Speaker 1: have a good I mean, it's not that it gets
Speaker 1: cold in l A. But I get like in the
Speaker 1: winters in New York, it's cold, and you're like, how
Speaker 1: how can you even arrive at a thing that you
Speaker 1: can do outdoors in the cold. It's just not one. Also,
Speaker 1: just like traveling outside in the cold like that, because
Speaker 1: it's like okay, like I have to take the train
Speaker 1: into the city, or take the train in Brooklyn to
Speaker 1: go to Williamsburg or the bus or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: I gotta arrived with that coat and then it's warm
Speaker 1: in there because it's cold outside, so they have the
Speaker 1: heat on in there and taking everything off, whereas I
Speaker 1: could just go to my friend's house and like the
Speaker 1: food is better. My friends have great wine selections, the
Speaker 1: wine is better. Put your coat on their bed instead
Speaker 1: of like have it dragging, and like we got really
Speaker 1: nice coat racks. Okay, we've invested in nice coat racks,
Speaker 1: all right. I was I was going back to my
Speaker 1: time in New York when my friends furniture was like
Speaker 1: a box spring a mattress and uh, you know the
Speaker 1: box that they brought some of their ship in with
Speaker 1: just overturned. Yeah, yeah, I mean the music is really
Speaker 1: crucial to me. I feel like that was the difference
Speaker 1: for me between a place I would like to be
Speaker 1: in a place that like, yeah, like the the outdoor setting,
Speaker 1: like one of the key components that is that there's
Speaker 1: not music like blaring, and like there's a there's a
Speaker 1: piece of received wisdom in the bar and like spirits
Speaker 1: and restaurant community that like if you play loud music,
Speaker 1: people drink more, they drink faster, which makes sense because
Speaker 1: there's not like you don't get distracted by conversation, I guess,
Speaker 1: or it's like the thing to do, or it makes
Speaker 1: you feel like you're at a dance, like in your
Speaker 1: back as a teenager and you're awkward, but you have
Speaker 1: alcohol now and probably like yeah, man, hold on, let
Speaker 1: me just down this whole fucking drink so I can
Speaker 1: say one sentence to you, which is, damn it's loud
Speaker 1: in here. Huh, Like a first date of the bar
Speaker 1: is never a good choice, Like you just like you
Speaker 1: can't really hear them, and you're like, okay, well I
Speaker 1: guess it's like you can bump it to the music
Speaker 1: a little bit, but usually you're like sitting down and
Speaker 1: it's just it's just weird. So we have like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's like kinds of bars to like in l in
Speaker 1: New York, there's there's like bars that are just full
Speaker 1: on scenes, right, like you know, it's a scene. You
Speaker 1: know what the scene is at that bar. It's a
Speaker 1: very specific way of getting down or white people dress, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And then my favorite is like the just a diverse
Speaker 1: neighborhood bar where you're like, bro, it looks like everybody
Speaker 1: who lives around he just comes in here to like
Speaker 1: have a drink. That energy is much more I feel
Speaker 1: like and welcoming than the kind when it's like you know,
Speaker 1: Height Beast City and everybody's like yeah. And a lot
Speaker 1: of the Manhattan bars are the scene, and then a
Speaker 1: lot of the Brooklyn bars are like, oh, we all
Speaker 1: just hang out. And I like it, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm spending like eighty
Speaker 1: bucks a drink, what three four glasses of wine when
Speaker 1: I can like buy a fourteen dollar bottle of wine
Speaker 1: at home and eight dollar black of cheese. Yeah. One
Speaker 1: thing that I think more bars should try blaring podcasts,
Speaker 1: specifically this podcast. Let the people know. You could just
Speaker 1: do a great a compilation of all the A K s.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure that. Yeah, the one that the
Speaker 1: smooth criminal one I just did is gonna hit the
Speaker 1: charts at some point. Totally we'll get hit with the
Speaker 1: seasoned Sister. What is something? Becca? You think it's underrated? Okay,
Speaker 1: Sunflower Butter, all right? I love this ship. It is
Speaker 1: so good. I someone who has a Trina allergy. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I've never been a nut butter girl. I can't
Speaker 1: have nut butters. I am not allergic to peanut butter
Speaker 1: and controversial. I hate it. I just I've never liked it.
Speaker 1: I've tried to be hard. It is not for me.
Speaker 1: I want to like peanut butter so I can be
Speaker 1: like everybody else, and I just I can't. When I
Speaker 1: discover sunflower butter, my life change. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: is this how people feel about peanut butter? Because sunflower
Speaker 1: butter is it? It is so good. I get the
Speaker 1: one from Trader to Joe's. I put my partner onto it.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh my god, this ship is so it's
Speaker 1: just ground up sunflower kernels. Yeah, it's like peanut butter taste,
Speaker 1: but peanut butter made out of sunflowers slower. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love I love the taste of sunflower seeds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they and they make it in a nut butter
Speaker 1: like form. Yeah, and you put it on everything. I
Speaker 1: can't get my kids too, because they're not allowed to
Speaker 1: have tree nuts at school because of allergies, because of
Speaker 1: the Wolke sky, because fucking woke sky. These are always
Speaker 1: If you don't know what that's reference to, you can
Speaker 1: listen to yesterday's episodes some beat poetry from the Mega right.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they just like they don't get on board
Speaker 1: with it. And we're we're a big peanut butter family,
Speaker 1: or at least I'm a big peanut butter. I eat
Speaker 1: peanut butter toast with an apple every morning. That's my
Speaker 1: go to breakfast. I love a sunflower like I'll toast
Speaker 1: some surd o bread, spread some sunflower butter, put a
Speaker 1: little bit like BlackBerry am on it. Perfection. Because happening
Speaker 1: when we were kids, and they were not saying we
Speaker 1: can't bring that ship. Because I remember there was a
Speaker 1: kid in my cler just let kids die, and we're
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, man, I just don't make sure you
Speaker 1: don't eat the Reese's cups when they come around. That
Speaker 1: was kind of like the way we handled it. But
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I get that there must have been a
Speaker 1: lot to the point where more people are like, no,
Speaker 1: you actually have to consider these allergies because they can
Speaker 1: be like terribly well and they can be so like
Speaker 1: I actually didn't develop my nut allergies until I was
Speaker 1: an adult. Like I used to love almonds and stuff
Speaker 1: as a kid, and then like I was in college
Speaker 1: and I had a pretty bad allergic reaction and I
Speaker 1: got tested and they're like, oh, you're now allergic to nuts,
Speaker 1: even though your whole life you weren't. Um, congratulations, you
Speaker 1: can't eat so many things now that you used to.
Speaker 1: But when I was like little, I was a girl
Speaker 1: Scout and so there were kids in my girl Scout
Speaker 1: troupe that, like, my mom had to be very deliberate
Speaker 1: about the snacks. Yeah, well she was just like they
Speaker 1: there was a girl in my troop who had like
Speaker 1: all this like a list that she would like give
Speaker 1: the parents and be like, you cannot have these things
Speaker 1: around my child. Or she will die, like like here's
Speaker 1: her EpiPen. She will die if you are near any
Speaker 1: of these things. And I'm was like, thank god you
Speaker 1: did not have these allergies when you were a kick,
Speaker 1: because I would have killed you. I don't know what
Speaker 1: would have happened. You would be living, you would have
Speaker 1: been raised by a different family. Was like, actually were
Speaker 1: She's like, I don't know, like I would have killed you.
Speaker 1: I don't know even if you had these allergies. She's
Speaker 1: like today, I'm glad you can manage it. You're an adult.
Speaker 1: But had these happened when you were little, I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the I I have to imagine. It's just like you
Speaker 1: know enough schools got sued that there the lawyers that
Speaker 1: represent schools were just like, no, we need like an
Speaker 1: official policy to prevent this ship from happening. And it's
Speaker 1: really like a small thing, Like it's not that big.
Speaker 1: It's not that big a deal, would say airplanes have
Speaker 1: to do. I feel like you don't get peanuts on
Speaker 1: airplanes anymore. You don't, but they also tell you you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to bring on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1: What they do at schools, so well, they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we can't be held responsible for that. You know, some
Speaker 1: other wildest person came in right. Anyways, I love a
Speaker 1: good legal triangulation from a company or large. It's like
Speaker 1: we can okay, we can get a like Florida. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: alright four and then that's it. Then it starts hurting
Speaker 1: the bottom line. I'm gonna give some flower butter another shot,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try the Trader Joe's because the
Speaker 1: brands that I've been having up to this point aren't
Speaker 1: salty enough in my opinion, Like how I like my
Speaker 1: peanut butter the Traders. I think there's one of Trade
Speaker 1: Jos that is pretty salty. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: they have these like sunflower butter cups, like like peanut
Speaker 1: butter cups. They're made with dark chocolate. They got little
Speaker 1: bag of them. Yeah, because they got like the little ones,
Speaker 1: so like you don't have to give your kids like
Speaker 1: a giant like they have like little sized ones. We're
Speaker 1: thinking like madmen. Now we're like, get them start it
Speaker 1: on the shop he self, the trojan horse, that ship.
Speaker 1: Then it's in the sandwiches. They won't know. But when
Speaker 1: you don't have a p B and J or like
Speaker 1: a you know, some flower butter and jelly sandwich as
Speaker 1: an option. Lunch. Making lunch is a lot hard hard
Speaker 1: because they also don't like like cold cuts, very shot
Speaker 1: like that so loose salami what I eat all the time, yeaheah,
Speaker 1: but my mom wasn't working with that. She's like, you'll
Speaker 1: hear some loose salami. And the half of the time
Speaker 1: I just eat at the cafeteria because like I did not,
Speaker 1: like I was not one of the kids, was like
Speaker 1: everybody else has this. I was like, yo, that ship
Speaker 1: tastes like fucking nonsense. I'm like I want some food.
Speaker 1: M all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back. I just had a
Speaker 1: sense memory of like some of the I was so
Speaker 1: happy anytime I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Speaker 1: in my lunch, because what like the turkey sandwich with
Speaker 1: mayo and cheese, that's like been in a warm back
Speaker 1: all morning and like just having to like force that
Speaker 1: ship down because you're so hungry, Like the cheese is sweating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the cheese is sweating. The turkey feels like it's got
Speaker 1: like that little bit of hint of like this this
Speaker 1: isn't bad yet, but it wants to be. It's like
Speaker 1: it wants to go in that direction like a superhero mom.
Speaker 1: Though she like she like had the ice packs lined
Speaker 1: up on the lunch kit and she's like make our
Speaker 1: lunches every morning, so it's like really fresh. And you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta like when you're like, oh, not that crazy,
Speaker 1: but did work. Yeah, it's it's a it's a step
Speaker 1: above in the shopping back. Yes, yes, Like she made
Speaker 1: it a point that was like, Okay, we're gonna like
Speaker 1: cut the crust off and like do the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And you know, I, looking back, I really appreciate how
Speaker 1: much ever my mom put in, especially because she went
Speaker 1: to school every morning with us going to work. She
Speaker 1: was a teacher. Or is did y'all ever have that thing?
Speaker 1: You had a friend who had always been like better
Speaker 1: LuFe than everyone else, and you're like, hey, man, you
Speaker 1: think I could get one of those. I had a
Speaker 1: friend at a chaotic lunch where it was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: your mom doesn't have time for you in the morning,
Speaker 1: hump because it was like Cosmo brownies like pop tarts
Speaker 1: and then like uh, capri son yeah, and it was
Speaker 1: just it was rough. Feeding your child juice today, like
Speaker 1: on a regular basis is like at least by my wife.
Speaker 1: And it might be just because I love the beck
Speaker 1: Is still still appreciates my wife. Like it might be
Speaker 1: just because she is a little bit more like she
Speaker 1: was raised in a household where fruit was the was
Speaker 1: the sweetest thing that you possibly got. But I did
Speaker 1: not have a single lunch that didn't have juice or
Speaker 1: something of that nature in it. And like I feel
Speaker 1: like that is considered child abuse. Like these days up
Speaker 1: like three capri sons, Oh juice is like, but you
Speaker 1: might as well like just give them diabetes. Okay, well
Speaker 1: you might. How about this me, a child who was
Speaker 1: raised on three capri sons a day. I will fight
Speaker 1: your child right now. I have made that offer. My
Speaker 1: life says that would be actual child in a way.
Speaker 1: If someone said that, I'm like, oh, you're calling them
Speaker 1: my mom fucking reckless, because now it's a problem. Yea,
Speaker 1: now it's a problem. I was fine if you just
Speaker 1: say generally juice is bad, but you're trying to say
Speaker 1: I was living wrong. No, I mean two thirds of
Speaker 1: the things that Becca cited as her friend with the
Speaker 1: mom who like, I didn't give a fuck, We're in
Speaker 1: my lunch on a regular basis. Well, it was the
Speaker 1: fact that there was no sandwich. It was like it
Speaker 1: was like, oh, there's only Cosmo Brownies, Caprice son and
Speaker 1: like sugar kind of protein. Yeah, I was on the
Speaker 1: healthier side, Like, but the other kids in my school
Speaker 1: were like, I think this has been a generational thing.
Speaker 1: It's not that my parents were sucking up. It was
Speaker 1: that like like, yeah, it was like lunchables school lunch
Speaker 1: which was just like like shitty pizza every day, or
Speaker 1: you like had parents made a sandwich and you know
Speaker 1: ye did that mostly at the cafeteria. Yeah, alright, let's
Speaker 1: move on to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The
Speaker 1: story I'm saying a lot recently is like this is
Speaker 1: the first social media war, comparing like who's winning the
Speaker 1: propaganda war in this social media age? I think Russia
Speaker 1: has been given a lot of credit or like people
Speaker 1: were like that they're gonna just fill social media with
Speaker 1: all this pro Russia propaganda, but it seems like they're
Speaker 1: not actually succeeding. I saw a long thread from somebody
Speaker 1: who's like kind of watching social media in inside Russia
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like, yeah, you got like
Speaker 1: some people who are real jingleist and like we're gonna
Speaker 1: kill those Western dogs. But like, for the most part,
Speaker 1: the stuff that is actual everyday people people either you know,
Speaker 1: just posting like a broken heart emoji or people just
Speaker 1: complaining about like how it's sucking up their bag essentially,
Speaker 1: like how right or yeah, and even influencers are like
Speaker 1: just kind of being very directingly like no, we can't
Speaker 1: have war with Russia, and you're like, oh, that's a take. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, the first social media war is you know,
Speaker 1: and we talked about how kind of surreal it is
Speaker 1: to watch it unfold like that. But I mean, to
Speaker 1: be fair, there's there's plenty of war zone footage that
Speaker 1: has been on social media. I think again sort of
Speaker 1: part goes back to the media is sort of increased
Speaker 1: empathy for what's happening in Ukraine has like algorithmically elevated
Speaker 1: a lot of that footage because there have been plenty
Speaker 1: of places where people have cell phones and have documented
Speaker 1: terrible shit happening. But so because there is this increased
Speaker 1: in attention, I'm I'm hearing people quote stories that are
Speaker 1: not actual facts, or you know, people getting out in
Speaker 1: front of stories that then turn out to like not
Speaker 1: really be true. There's obviously a bunch of this ship
Speaker 1: from the Russian side. There's like a video of soldiers
Speaker 1: dancing together, and they were like, this is actually what
Speaker 1: it looks like Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers like on
Speaker 1: the same side about like tweeting out the deep state
Speaker 1: basically just claiming that, you know, it's wild, like the
Speaker 1: one the one story that I saw that I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I should fact check this one because this feels like
Speaker 1: something that wouldn't necessarily be true. Was Russian TV, like
Speaker 1: the state TV propaganda stations are posting a lot of
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, like translating him and being like, see, he
Speaker 1: says exactly what we say, so he is a literal
Speaker 1: tool of Putin's regime. But then you know, they are
Speaker 1: these stories like there's the ghost of Kiv fighter pilot
Speaker 1: Ace who's like shot down five Russian fighter jets over Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and like videos posted that claimed to show him shooting
Speaker 1: down a Russian fighter jet and like those people went
Speaker 1: back and searched those videos they're actually and this is
Speaker 1: this was kind of wild to me that it's actually
Speaker 1: footed from a two thousand and eight flight simulator video game.
Speaker 1: So like we've been at a point where someone can
Speaker 1: like make something completely fabricated in a video game and
Speaker 1: it would fool you into thinking you're watching actual footage
Speaker 1: from a war since two thousand and eight. So that's
Speaker 1: just like kind of put some perspective how easy this
Speaker 1: ship is to like just make something that is going
Speaker 1: to full a lot of people. There's also the Snake
Speaker 1: Island soldiers, who I think did tell that Russian warship
Speaker 1: go funk yourself and then the island was blown up,
Speaker 1: but it's been reported that they're alive and being held
Speaker 1: as POWs by Russia. I would like not that, Like
Speaker 1: this doesn't change anything about, you know, how you should
Speaker 1: feel about Russia waging a completely offensive, unnecessary invasion or
Speaker 1: anything like that. There's no justification for it. But this
Speaker 1: just feels like it's its First of all, the reality
Speaker 1: is messier than what we're seeing in these videos, and
Speaker 1: we're going to get to the Lynsk in a second,
Speaker 1: and like the kind of creating a central you know,
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker like heroic figure versus the central Darth Vader
Speaker 1: like bad guy figure, but just in terms of like
Speaker 1: what you're seeing on the ground. It it just feels
Speaker 1: like that having these like myths come out that you
Speaker 1: then quote someone like and then if they are correctly
Speaker 1: like actually that's not a true story, then you feel
Speaker 1: like an asshole. Then you're like where do I stand
Speaker 1: on this? Like it's just it's messy, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's a war is messy social media and like what
Speaker 1: what is reality? Even on social media is messy? But
Speaker 1: I just I just think, like, you know, any anything
Speaker 1: that is making it easier for people to tell themselves
Speaker 1: a heroic narrative on one side or the other that
Speaker 1: is based on a lie is probably in the long
Speaker 1: term like harmful because it you know, it turns what
Speaker 1: is a just massive ball of like senseless, chaotic, confusing
Speaker 1: death of many innocent people into something that is that
Speaker 1: we can make sense of and get behind and get
Speaker 1: excited about, right, you know, because it I mean, in
Speaker 1: a way, it sort of helps us project our own
Speaker 1: like media informed concept of war like onto this conflict.
Speaker 1: It's just like all the movies and ship propaganda you've
Speaker 1: been fed through, like you know, the depiction of glorified soldiers,
Speaker 1: warrior types and film, and you're able to find like
Speaker 1: these parallels to be like, oh, these guys are like
Speaker 1: you know, they gave their lives heroically, not just and again,
Speaker 1: like you're saying, it doesn't diminish what they were, you know,
Speaker 1: what they were feeling, and that they're defending their own country.
Speaker 1: But it it also like for just the person who's observing,
Speaker 1: this kind of disconnects you from the true horror of
Speaker 1: what it is. It's not like a bunch of like
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a stiff upper lip and just face
Speaker 1: whatever comes at us. It's I mean, it is that,
Speaker 1: but it's also completely it's just total chaos, and it's
Speaker 1: not the it's not that's sort of neatly packed into
Speaker 1: the protagonists and antagonists that we kind of like need
Speaker 1: for our like sort of like narrative obsessed mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I I still want to follow the day to
Speaker 1: day because I want the Ukrainian people to be okay
Speaker 1: and to like hit the one in a million slingshot
Speaker 1: that kills Goliathe. But like that even that is a
Speaker 1: fictional narrative, like we tell ourselves to make sense of
Speaker 1: evil senseless death and violence, and those narratives like help
Speaker 1: to ensure that war keeps happening into the future. And
Speaker 1: I guess the reason I think this is important is
Speaker 1: just because you know, as social media and as our
Speaker 1: ability to create like deep fakes and a video game
Speaker 1: that fulls me into thinking I'm watching an actual like
Speaker 1: aerial battle like as that becomes more advanced, like well,
Speaker 1: I am hoping that doesn't mean that. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like we have been on a trajectory from like World
Speaker 1: War One, where that was a war with like German
Speaker 1: children being led off to an almost literal like meat
Speaker 1: grinder with visions of heroism filling their heads. It was
Speaker 1: just like you know a handful of people who are
Speaker 1: like moving chips around on a board, and then massive
Speaker 1: groups of people, because they were fooled by you know,
Speaker 1: nostalgia and like this sense of heroism, were just killed
Speaker 1: senselessly and brutally, like up through Vietnam, where start like
Speaker 1: these images from what war that we're actually more honest
Speaker 1: depictions of what war is like started leaking through in
Speaker 1: real time or at least really like more up to
Speaker 1: date than we got from World War Two, and people
Speaker 1: start turning on war a little bit, and now we
Speaker 1: you know, for the past two decades, I feel like
Speaker 1: we were in a weird uh like thing where the
Speaker 1: media just ignored that there were wars happening and that
Speaker 1: Americans were doing the things. And I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: just hoping that this, the the fact that social media
Speaker 1: is completely full of ship doesn't send us back in
Speaker 1: that in that direction, the direction of World War One, Well,
Speaker 1: I think on some level it's clear people have I mean,
Speaker 1: at least for this conflict less of an appetite. But again,
Speaker 1: I think it's as part of this like larger thing
Speaker 1: where if if you are against you, if you're actually
Speaker 1: about people being able to maintain their sovereignty and not
Speaker 1: have foreign invaders entered with and do military campaigns, then
Speaker 1: the challenges for people to be able to apply that
Speaker 1: same standard to every single thing on the planet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that is kind of what I
Speaker 1: was thinking about. Of Like, I feel like we've been
Speaker 1: in a constant state of war, even though America, like
Speaker 1: the United States, has not had you know, warre inflicted
Speaker 1: on us and you know, very rarely in our history,
Speaker 1: but we have been a perpetuator of war for ever,
Speaker 1: and it does feel like we're just in this constant
Speaker 1: of you know, aggression and military invasion and like, to me,
Speaker 1: this you know, invasion of Ukraine from Russia, I'm like,
Speaker 1: will it stop? Though, It's like I I I just
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing what happens with lots of
Speaker 1: other countries constantly that it's not going to have this
Speaker 1: romantic and that I feel like we have been taught
Speaker 1: in history books of like you're saying, Jack, like this
Speaker 1: triumph of like and then the l A powers got
Speaker 1: together and like World War two was over and we
Speaker 1: lived in peace times. Like to me, I just don't
Speaker 1: have a hard time believing, especially with the amount of
Speaker 1: technology and military industrial complex has been built up, that
Speaker 1: it's just gonna like all of a sudden, Russia is
Speaker 1: going to retreat and like boom, you know, war is done.
Speaker 1: I think that's why you know any you know, that's
Speaker 1: what I say, They're the only war is class war. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it's like you're said,
Speaker 1: like Jack, you're talking about people are just moving ship
Speaker 1: around on a map because they have they are part
Speaker 1: of the class of people who can make those two decisions.
Speaker 1: But the ones who live with it. The ones who
Speaker 1: go to the meat grinder are of a completely different class,
Speaker 1: of a lower class who are just fighting the vested
Speaker 1: interests of people who aren't well at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, willing to do what's in their best interests.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why it's going to be difficult
Speaker 1: to move to another phase of you know, our civilization until,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's clear people don't want to go
Speaker 1: to war, you know, but when they have leaders that
Speaker 1: have other aims, it's very easy to use nationalism and
Speaker 1: this us versus them mentality to begin to get people
Speaker 1: like in line with someone else's aims that aren't always
Speaker 1: necessarily what's the best for the people. And that's one
Speaker 1: thing to defend your home, but it's another, like you're
Speaker 1: seeing many of these like Russian soldiers say like we
Speaker 1: thought we were doing exercises and suddenly we were crossing
Speaker 1: into a border, and a lot of you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people point to that as like why the
Speaker 1: morale is so low, especially for like the Russian military,
Speaker 1: because even the soldiers like what is what is this?
Speaker 1: Or or about yeah, and then there's so let's let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about how we all want to
Speaker 1: fuck Zelenski. Okay. The first like just like a detailed
Speaker 1: kind of description of oh yeah, well, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: he's like hot Rick morandus. Okay, I'm like really into
Speaker 1: this guy, and he's so handsome and he's such a hero.
Speaker 1: The Okay josicide, the inevitable horny horny nous of the
Speaker 1: Internet has emerged again. There was a tweet like on
Speaker 1: Monday that said something that's like that was basically saying like, Okay, look,
Speaker 1: many people are in love with President Zelenski now and
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about it. And it was
Speaker 1: sort of like this thing of like I've seen this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we saw this with but big old big Daddy Mueller,
Speaker 1: we saw with the cuomo sexuals. We saw with the
Speaker 1: people who are like fouchy can give me a jab
Speaker 1: anytime or whatever the weird ship people were saying about
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci And now it's directly quote Mede for that one,
Speaker 1: like I think, did you say that yesterday or something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: But it's like all right, man, well look whatever I remember.
Speaker 1: But like you know, those first three guys, they were
Speaker 1: basically like sort of these sexualized manifestations of people's like
Speaker 1: hope that we could be out of the pandemic or
Speaker 1: you know, out of the corruption of like the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: And then I guess Zelinsky is now the face of
Speaker 1: like standing up in the face of adversity porn, and
Speaker 1: people are just completely distilled like what they seem like
Speaker 1: he's so brave into I'm I love him because now
Speaker 1: you have all these fan cams coming up of just
Speaker 1: you know, the very jampacked montages of him looking pretty
Speaker 1: and like people putting like heart emojis and shipped over it.
Speaker 1: But it just shows this like really weird way again
Speaker 1: that we people have to compartmentalize to like actually confront
Speaker 1: the horrible part of what's happening, which again, as we
Speaker 1: just said, people needlessly dying and being displaced. But it's
Speaker 1: easy to be like, well, this guy, he's trying to
Speaker 1: do something right, and now I'm let's let's all start
Speaker 1: making memes and saying we we love him. I don't know,
Speaker 1: its just it's I don't know if it's like because
Speaker 1: we've over emphasized this idea of like a singular hero
Speaker 1: in our culture and now like we're always just looking
Speaker 1: to like project that or maybe we're to Horney. I
Speaker 1: don't know, are you gonna say something? No, I I
Speaker 1: don't have words. I just have to say the quoto
Speaker 1: sexual one age so poorly because I remember the rise
Speaker 1: and fall of that. Uh. Just thinking about this all
Speaker 1: in context because being in New York City during the
Speaker 1: height of the pandemic, I moved to January. I stayed
Speaker 1: throughout the whole pandemic. There was like even Instagram accounts
Speaker 1: like being created that we're called like Cuomo sexual and
Speaker 1: it was just like images of him doing his little
Speaker 1: press conferences every day. And then like for everything to
Speaker 1: have happened with the sexual solved scandal that came to
Speaker 1: fruition by the end of it. It's crazy. But I
Speaker 1: don't know what is up with this horny nous and
Speaker 1: our culture for wanting to fuck world leaders doing their job.
Speaker 1: Question Mark, Like I I think it kind of goes
Speaker 1: in that narrative where we put politicians and things on
Speaker 1: a pedestal being like I mean almost on the opposite end,
Speaker 1: Like this is like the you know, better of the
Speaker 1: evils versus like the people who glorified Trump. It's like,
Speaker 1: and they're questioning us for not being like, oh my God,
Speaker 1: like Biden thought your God, and it's like, well, he's
Speaker 1: an elected official that I put in the office and
Speaker 1: have every you know, ability to hold him accountable for
Speaker 1: the things he said he do. I feel like this
Speaker 1: kind of falls into that, like almost the left spectrum
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, they're doing a good job. Yes,
Speaker 1: love and it's right right right, No, I mean that's
Speaker 1: they all see that. I mean, I guess, yeah. People
Speaker 1: thirst over Trump in weird ways too. It's typically born
Speaker 1: out of yeah, like the center left media sphere, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, when the like news starts hitting about what
Speaker 1: he's been doing for the past year and a half
Speaker 1: since he's been in office, like probably during his next term,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I think it's interesting, right because, like the
Speaker 1: I guess, it raises the question. I think ze Lynsky
Speaker 1: is the one that makes the most sense of the
Speaker 1: list that we've given because the ship he's doing is
Speaker 1: actually heroic in a way that would remind you of
Speaker 1: like someone in a movie like hot Lead, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: people think is attractive. The Mueller revealed, by the way,
Speaker 1: is just one of the all time moments. When he
Speaker 1: finally spoke, we finally got to hear him speak, and
Speaker 1: he was like, what what did you say? Hello? Who's
Speaker 1: Ronald dumb? What? It just seemed so old and his
Speaker 1: voice was really and high, and everybody had been like
Speaker 1: picture and talk like Batman and Cuomo a less fun
Speaker 1: reveal but nonethelessly real Rugpool. It was fun. The real crap.
Speaker 1: The height was does he have nipple rings or not? Right?
Speaker 1: You know? And I was like, we're healthy of that,
Speaker 1: We're guilty of that. I mean we too. We brought
Speaker 1: on forensic analysts to look at the pictures with us,
Speaker 1: people who do body modification and body art. They were like,
Speaker 1: they're like it's hard to tell, like what what would
Speaker 1: that be? And then what should Cuomo be wearing down there?
Speaker 1: If you know what I'm saying. And then but it
Speaker 1: also makes me ask the question like does our Democrats
Speaker 1: and Republicans leaving like, you know, money on the table
Speaker 1: by not electing or nominating hotter people because it seems
Speaker 1: like America and the Internet is desperate for somebody, right Trudeau?
Speaker 1: Like they were like, true, so sexy, And then I
Speaker 1: was like, Trudeau's incredibly bad and also racist, But I
Speaker 1: think that I think, honestly, at the the thing that
Speaker 1: all of these people have in common is that they
Speaker 1: they have perceived like values and they have a very clear,
Speaker 1: like a philosophy that bends towards doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: And what is just you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: I think if anything, the people just need to run
Speaker 1: candidates that have a fucking spine, like not to say
Speaker 1: quo mode. I mean, but at the time, his whole
Speaker 1: thing was like I'm gonna do what's right. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be like calm, steady leadership, and the singular goal is
Speaker 1: to do what's right for everybody. And so people like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, this is interesting. Mothers like this guy. He
Speaker 1: can't be phased. He's in a singular pursuit of like
Speaker 1: what is right, I guess, And but people have many
Speaker 1: different views of what is quote unquote right in that sense.
Speaker 1: So there's like, get Trump's asked because I hate him
Speaker 1: or whatever. Vauci the same thing. He's like a scientist,
Speaker 1: he's a man of science, and he's like trying to
Speaker 1: do what's right to help everybody. And Zelinski is the same.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, who wouldn't want to charismatic leader
Speaker 1: who is able to like rouse the people and unify
Speaker 1: them against like a common threat. And so you look
Speaker 1: at a lot of the people who like our politicians
Speaker 1: in the United States, like it's clear to everyone. Everyone's like,
Speaker 1: no one like they our attitude towards are elected officials
Speaker 1: like I mean, yeah, they're gonna say the right thing.
Speaker 1: Very few of them give a fuck, so like whatever.
Speaker 1: So then the bar is really low when someone comes
Speaker 1: by and it's like, actually, no, this is the right
Speaker 1: thing and we need to do it. And I was like,
Speaker 1: this person is doing They're not a fucking you know,
Speaker 1: and invertebrate who can just like you know, mucus mucus
Speaker 1: shape shift out of the room and act like they
Speaker 1: weren't in there saying a bunch of other stuff to people. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back, and you know, at the risk of making
Speaker 1: the world see even worse. Dr Oz, that's it, all right,
Speaker 1: Dr No. So he's he's running for the Republican Senate
Speaker 1: seat in Pennsylvania, and we had we had checked in
Speaker 1: when he first announced his campaign announced trying to check
Speaker 1: in again because he was at sea pack this weekend
Speaker 1: the Conservative Coachella along with other Republican Senate hopeful looking
Speaker 1: to make a good impression, and he caught people's attention
Speaker 1: by I mean, I don't know what there was not
Speaker 1: really not anything noteworthy from from Sepack, but well one
Speaker 1: his other strategy seems to have been tweeting that he
Speaker 1: wants to debate Fauci like over and over again. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, find a new personality already mem it really yeah,
Speaker 1: he tweet did on Valentine's Day, hold onto your butts
Speaker 1: at nine eleven am, so you know, do with that
Speaker 1: way you will you and get into that numerology. Roses
Speaker 1: are red, violets are blue. Dr Fauci lied to you.
Speaker 1: Happy Valentine's Day to everyone except Fauci exclamation point That
Speaker 1: poem sucks. Broy it to tell you, but your your
Speaker 1: meter is all the way fucked. That's an insane thing
Speaker 1: to tweet, like you went out of your way on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day? Why who knows to right and make a
Speaker 1: meme of Dr Fauci like let it go and you're wrong.
Speaker 1: I think he's jealous that people that some people said
Speaker 1: they wanted to fuck Fauci and nobody said that about
Speaker 1: Dr Oz and I and I look, and he's also
Speaker 1: he has the swag of someone who has no idea
Speaker 1: of the landscape and very narrowly as like around a
Speaker 1: bunch of idiotic yes people who are like, you're kind
Speaker 1: of like the rights answer to doctor Fouchi, because you're
Speaker 1: also doctor So. I think going head to head, you know,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people already or anti fouch So,
Speaker 1: I think that's a wave you could ride all the
Speaker 1: way to not the Senate, but go on, sir, uh
Speaker 1: do your thing. But it just like it just seems like,
Speaker 1: why why are you trying to like like draft off
Speaker 1: of this thing. Yeah. So, the the other theme that
Speaker 1: he has, other than the well thought out and articulate
Speaker 1: fuck Fauci side of his campaign is cancel culture. So
Speaker 1: in his commercials, Oz claims that Republicans have been silenced
Speaker 1: too long and he has been canceled. Which, bro, You've
Speaker 1: had a syndicated daily TV show for thirteen years, Like
Speaker 1: what could anyone anywhere be less silenced than doctor Oz,
Speaker 1: somebody who's spent thirteen years until he chose to end
Speaker 1: the show to run for Senate, Right, who who spent
Speaker 1: thirteen years like giving out medically dubious advice to people
Speaker 1: and was allowed to do so because we live in
Speaker 1: a world where like profit and eyeballs is the only
Speaker 1: thing that matters. I mean, the only thing I could
Speaker 1: say that it makes sense to say we've been silenced
Speaker 1: is if you're just an outright racist, like nativist, like
Speaker 1: absolutely irredeemable human being, and you're like, I haven't been
Speaker 1: able to say my racist ship out loud for too
Speaker 1: long now, silence too long because society had evolved past this.
Speaker 1: His example, his version of canceled is being criticized. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's canceled. That's also critical race theory. Jack all right,
Speaker 1: that's everybody on that side of the account accountability right now.
Speaker 1: They're trying to cancel me. I just asked you a
Speaker 1: very straightforward question. What the funk were you thinking with
Speaker 1: that Valentine's stay post. I just asked to be believe
Speaker 1: in evolution. My wife canceled me because I've been having
Speaker 1: an affair with her sister. Unbelievable cancel. It's just it's
Speaker 1: out of control now. So the one thing that he's
Speaker 1: glimbed onto is the Philadelphia inquire he he did. I'll
Speaker 1: just describe this ad he did where he's walking toward
Speaker 1: a camera holding up a copy of The Philadelphia Inquired.
Speaker 1: Like Harrison Ford in a movie where he's you ever
Speaker 1: noticed he's always crumpling paper. My friend justin Drums always
Speaker 1: pointed that out. Hare's a Ford loves to get a
Speaker 1: handful of papers and crumple it and taking in people's direction. Anyways,
Speaker 1: is that his? Is that his Brad Pitt eating or
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks p Yeah, it kind of is like he doesn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he like asks to put it
Speaker 1: in the in the script as much. But if he
Speaker 1: if he interacts with paper, the director, you lease, don't
Speaker 1: crumple it. Damn well, bet he's gonna crumple it and
Speaker 1: it's gonna look good. He's like, oh you mean this
Speaker 1: John Quincy Adams, He's like the concerts one hand. He's
Speaker 1: waving it in one hand to get it out of here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just picture him saying, they swift us examples, so you
Speaker 1: could have Provassic Fugitive comes back. Yeah. Anyways, he's walking
Speaker 1: towards the camera, says The Philadelphi Inquire had me on
Speaker 1: their front page as doctor Oz. This morning they just
Speaker 1: announced no more doctor. Even though I'm a practicing physician,
Speaker 1: I'm taking care of patients. I've done thousands of heart surgeries.
Speaker 1: They don't want to call me doctor anymore. I won't
Speaker 1: be canceled. So which that that feels like a completely
Speaker 1: fine thing for them to decide just on their own,
Speaker 1: But it was just actually a result of the Paper
Speaker 1: Style Committee determining not to refer to candidates with doctor
Speaker 1: in their headlines. They did the same thing with a
Speaker 1: Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania. Yeah, who's I think also running
Speaker 1: in that primary. Yeah, he's like also running. They're like,
Speaker 1: they're a doctor. They don't have a problem. They're not
Speaker 1: saying they got canceled because they're like, we don't want
Speaker 1: to somehow just that putting that like honorific would like,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe tinge someone's idea of like how qualified.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh doctor, huh as jam is always good
Speaker 1: at doing he's he's also checked the merch page for
Speaker 1: the Doctors campaign and they have a killer white tea
Speaker 1: with Oz's logo on the back and say kill whitey.
Speaker 1: What's that? Did you say, kill whitey? Did I say, uh,
Speaker 1: plain white tea? Er killer said? I said plain white?
Speaker 1: I was so confused. More accurate also more more historically accurate.
Speaker 1: Killer White But anyways, the front of Killer White Teeth
Speaker 1: says won't be canceled, which is not not catchy at all,
Speaker 1: My man, like, we need, we need some words. Smith's
Speaker 1: working for you, don't you have like TV writers from
Speaker 1: your days having a TV show. But they were like,
Speaker 1: I will not work with him outside of my job
Speaker 1: at DRAR And then he's also hitting the road peddling
Speaker 1: his wares and campaign in sports bars and laser tag arcades. Um, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: I worked. I worked a few years in my youth
Speaker 1: at a very prominent laser arc laser tag spot. I
Speaker 1: don't know who the fuck you think you're getting to
Speaker 1: at the laser tag spot, but okay, it's a very
Speaker 1: clearly poorly planned campaign right for a very lucky few.
Speaker 1: He will give people a blood pressure reading. It's just
Speaker 1: so poorly thought through, like they're like, step right up
Speaker 1: and put on this cuff and Dr Oz will read
Speaker 1: numbers off the dial wild and not surprisingly, he might
Speaker 1: be the better candidate of the to Republicans. The other
Speaker 1: guy is super well funded by American oligarchs. He is
Speaker 1: kind of an oligarch himself, a former huge head fund
Speaker 1: CEO who's worked worked in the George W. Bush administration,
Speaker 1: currently married to Goldman Sachs executive and former Trump Deputy
Speaker 1: National Security advisor Dina Dina pal So. The the bona
Speaker 1: fide is they're pretty great. And McCormick, the other Jews,
Speaker 1: desperately trying to get the MAGA crowd on his side,
Speaker 1: recently made headlines for a commercial feature in the Let's
Speaker 1: Go Brandon chant that played during the Super Bowl. So,
Speaker 1: I don't know, two great options for the people of Pennsylvania. Also, yeah,
Speaker 1: like when you a little Pope pompon further review, campaign
Speaker 1: advisors Hope Picks and Stephen Miller. Yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 1: the that's that's the key point. But I skipped over there.
Speaker 1: Hope Picks and Steven Miller can't can't really bounce back
Speaker 1: from having intentionally hiring Steven Miller, Like that's no, as
Speaker 1: we love and they call and teenage Mutant, Ninja Girbals
Speaker 1: teenage mutic and Ninja gar Bowls teenage mut and Ninja Gurbs.
Speaker 1: All right, well, you know, good luck to them both,
Speaker 1: and by that, bad luck to you. And by that
Speaker 1: we mean, yeah, I goes the opposite for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hoping for the opposite but Becky, you're saying you're a
Speaker 1: huge Dr Oz fan, Corse Oprah stars. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, questionable on TV? What what was the show
Speaker 1: with Dr Phil recently? Wasn't there like some revelations that
Speaker 1: he's a They're all bad? There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: she's put on TV that you're like Oprah. It's like
Speaker 1: the dark, like Horse and Oprah's Closet, Like oh yeah,

Speaker 1: like the Oprah. But then you're like, just put a
Speaker 1: lot of questionable people on TV. Yeah, what about ian Lah? Okay?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I haven't looked into it,
Speaker 1: but I can't imagine. You can't imagine she's okay. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine she can't imagine she hasn't killed at least
Speaker 1: a couple of people since last we paid attention. Also,
Speaker 1: super producer on a Hosnie is revealing that yan La
Speaker 1: and Oprah our beef in Yeah, I on the Fix
Speaker 1: My Life. That's just my my favorite title of a
Speaker 1: TV show because it was so in your face. It
