Speaker 1: like cannabis like compounds are released when you do strength exercising,
Speaker 1: like anti inflammatory proper. It's just basically the gist of
Speaker 1: it was like lifting weights periodically for your health is
Speaker 1: good for you. Way to bring weed. And we'll talk

Speaker 1: now I can't kind the tweet again. You hold on
Speaker 1: to that you have totanic search while we're talking total
Speaker 1: totally hanging out. You know, her plas into COVID. I
Speaker 1: just moved, which is very exciting. I had been in
Speaker 1: the same place for nine years and it was nice
Speaker 1: to get a little change of scenery, go through all
Speaker 1: my ship and start again. But yeah, moving is not
Speaker 1: very fun. Who knew what they were you in? In?
Speaker 1: Which region did you move to? I just specific as
Speaker 1: you'd like in l A. I moved from like East
Speaker 1: Hollywood to like Hancock Park area and found a miracle
Speaker 1: of an apartment. Yeah, I was like, I was fully
Speaker 1: ready to move to like North Hollywood, but I got
Speaker 1: really lucky. Check Zillo at midnight, guys. That's my advice,
Speaker 1: that's kat. I'm sure you didn't say North Hollywood like that,
Speaker 1: like it's a bad place to be my ancestral homeland.
Speaker 1: It's not badly listen, howood, I just like I don't
Speaker 1: love driving on highways here, so like anything Valley then
Speaker 1: like you are dedicated to highways. I was happy to
Speaker 1: not have to make that change in my life. But no,
Speaker 1: I go to North Hollywood all the time. I have
Speaker 1: a bunch of friends who lives like North. I would
Speaker 1: name everything in North Hollywood go. I don't believe you
Speaker 1: exactly could fire Pizza Lakers right there. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: my favorite video store used to be in North Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but they I did love Odyssey. I have a bunch
Speaker 1: of VHS tapes from one Odyssey closed but right down
Speaker 1: the street from them, Eddie Brand Saturday Mattinee. That. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that place is wild. I know. I said, I grew
Speaker 1: up like a block from Odyssey, like as a kid,
Speaker 1: and I'll always be like, man, she's not a blockbuster.
Speaker 1: We go to Jankie Odyssey where the porno is in
Speaker 1: the front half of the store and you get to
Speaker 1: walk by it as a kid. Yeah, when they were
Speaker 1: going out of business, their whole back room was just
Speaker 1: like thousands of pornos. It was like, yeah, I bought
Speaker 1: my first porno tape out Odyssey Video like when I
Speaker 1: was like seventeen or something like just at the age
Speaker 1: where they're like, don't you're probably eighteen? Yeah. I remember
Speaker 1: being in there and I was like it was like
Speaker 1: fucking cheesecake factory menu. I was like, I don't even
Speaker 1: know where to can I like almost, I'm not joking,
Speaker 1: Like I just closed my eyes and like waved my
Speaker 1: hand at this show like this one, I will take
Speaker 1: these shout out to gauge. That's a real generational defining line,
Speaker 1: like have you ever watched porn on a VHS tape
Speaker 1: or media? Have you ever paid paid actual American money?
Speaker 1: There's yah because everything these kids don't know. They can
Speaker 1: get their weed delivered, They don't have to go to
Speaker 1: a right aid parking lot like I used to post
Speaker 1: up at and just wait for me to flash my hazards.
Speaker 1: Or now they can summon pornography on their cell phones
Speaker 1: rather than waiting like four hours for a two megabyte
Speaker 1: MPEG video to download. A different time. You do it
Speaker 1: for y'all, We do it for you. The youth is
Speaker 1: there like seasonality with the Blacklist, Like do you guys
Speaker 1: have the Blacklist coming up? We do. We will have
Speaker 1: the annual Blacklist coming up in December. I cannot spoil
Speaker 1: the date yet, but they's coming soon and I believe
Speaker 1: this is going to be if my math is right.
Speaker 1: Number seven team, which is really almost of legal voting age,
Speaker 1: the Black Clows. Yeah, could buy a porno at honestly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They did have that popcorn machine though that before like
Speaker 1: health code laws. You're like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure this
Speaker 1: place right, but this pop serve yourself popcorn machine by
Speaker 1: the adult video sections they're handing it. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like the person behind the behind the desk
Speaker 1: at the video store was probably like, look, man, like
Speaker 1: I just want you to shave off that mustache that
Speaker 1: you've been growing. Like, so, I'm gonna let you do this,
Speaker 1: but just you have to promise me to go home
Speaker 1: and shave that ship. He's like, look, man, if you
Speaker 1: shave it, come back in, I'll remember you and I'll
Speaker 1: sell it to you. Then. Oh man, And I still
Speaker 1: remember my first mustache. It was that thing was look
Speaker 1: at my mustache to say, I remember my first mustache.
Speaker 1: You're looking straight up, I remember my first mustache, Miles.
Speaker 1: My eyes fogged over as I said I remember my
Speaker 1: first mustache, and I looked wistfully up at the clouds.
Speaker 1: You worked back into time and body of it. But
Speaker 1: we are both mustachioed men right now. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure people can hear it in our voice. But oh yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Is it like tax season for an accountant? Is it
Speaker 1: like that? Wilder? Are you all pretty like locked in
Speaker 1: on your And also please let for people who don't
Speaker 1: know about the black List, please tell them about the
Speaker 1: Blacklist because that's a very infular like Hollywood thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It started in two thousand five by my boss, Franklin
Speaker 1: Leonard as an annual survey of the most like screenplays
Speaker 1: in town. The number two in the number three scripts
Speaker 1: on the first Blacklist were Juno and Lars and The
Speaker 1: Real Girl, So that was like kind of the launching
Speaker 1: pad for writers. Yeah, and over the years it's just
Speaker 1: become a really great sort of collection at the end
Speaker 1: of the year of really great screenplays that are not
Speaker 1: being produced. Tons of writers have come through, something like
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five Oscar wins for Blacklist scripts, a
Speaker 1: couple billion dollars in global box office, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: But we also have a two sided marketplace that anybody
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world with an English language screenplay or
Speaker 1: pilot can upload a script and make it available to
Speaker 1: thousands of industry members, and we've had countless writers get signed,
Speaker 1: you know, set their scripts up, get movies made, make
Speaker 1: other sort of official industry connections that have have been
Speaker 1: a springboard. And we take very little credit for that stuff,
Speaker 1: you know it we're just sort of the conduit for
Speaker 1: those conversations to happen. But it's really cool. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we also do some really hefty screenwriter's lab programs.
Speaker 1: My colleague Megan Holburn does a lot of those. But
Speaker 1: that's one of the best parts of the job, is
Speaker 1: like seeing folks who did the screenwriter's lab five or
Speaker 1: six years ago, like huge studio gigs and things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just you know, I think Franklin realized early on
Speaker 1: in his tenure in the industry that like, writers are
Speaker 1: very overlooked by the business and you know, it's the
Speaker 1: first person who has the idea most of the time
Speaker 1: to make the movie, and you know, needed a sense
Speaker 1: of community. A lot of times we would do like
Speaker 1: dinners with screenwriters a couple of years ago, and it
Speaker 1: would be shocking, like, oh, I rewrote one of your
Speaker 1: drafts and we've never met in person. Yeah, so It's
Speaker 1: been really cool and watch that sort of community developed.
Speaker 1: I've been working there since somehow and we have grown
Speaker 1: a lot in that time. But yeah, gonna hang out
Speaker 1: with writers and see them do their best work is
Speaker 1: is a pretty nice thing. What was the last big
Speaker 1: thing that came off the Blacklist? King Richard comes out today,
Speaker 1: and that was the number two script on the Blacklist
Speaker 1: in nineteen I think, so that's that's big doings. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of some of I was like, when
Speaker 1: I first saw the poster for that, I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, Like I think I have a sense of
Speaker 1: what kind of movie this is. And then I was
Speaker 1: at a theater I saw the trailer and I was
Speaker 1: like getting tough. You're like, yeah, why are watching this?
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what love is. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite Blacklist stories though, is that Succession sort of started
Speaker 1: as a Blacklist script. Jesse Armstrong had written a script
Speaker 1: I believe about the Murdoch family that was on the
Speaker 1: Blacklist that sort of morphed into Succession, which is exciting.
Speaker 1: So thanks for writing that, Jesse Armstrong. We're all better
Speaker 1: for it. And it just has to be like unproduced
Speaker 1: or like unpurchased to make it into the not necessarily
Speaker 1: unpurchased just the first day of principal photography cannot have
Speaker 1: begun if the script makes the Blacklist, like I'm pretty sure,
Speaker 1: like when King Richard was on the Blacklist, like Will
Speaker 1: Smith was already attached to star, or like was announced
Speaker 1: a couple of days later. So yeah, things are on
Speaker 1: in various stages of production. But you know, to that
Speaker 1: that being said, there are still many many Blacklist scripts
Speaker 1: that have have never gotten made. Industry folks who want
Speaker 1: some good material go back to the old Blacklist and
Speaker 1: see what's still available. But yeah, it's been super cool
Speaker 1: to like sort of watch all those folks evolve and
Speaker 1: watch the movies enter the mainstream and just you know,
Speaker 1: become a part of the conversation. Yeah. I was just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if I should submit my screenplay
Speaker 1: that has Will Smith attached already, But it sounds like
Speaker 1: I'm good to do that. So yeah, you know, just
Speaker 1: just take it to HBO. Max. We'll get you set
Speaker 1: up just like real quick. Yeah, we know some people
Speaker 1: over there, be pretty quick. Okay, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment First,
Speaker 1: a few of the things we're talking about. We have
Speaker 1: an update on the story about Christie Nomes daughter's licensing
Speaker 1: attempts to be a licensed real estate agent appraiser. Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: it's like and also really fucking unfair, how hard it is.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about a letter grades and whether those
Speaker 1: are gonna go away. We're gonna talk about red wine
Speaker 1: being like weed according to according to this study, as
Speaker 1: well as lifting weights, as well as just existing by
Speaker 1: our product. It is like we'd we'd like property all
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Kate, we do like to
Speaker 1: ask eric guests, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 1: I learned a fun fact this week. I grew up
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I was doing some just like
Speaker 1: general spooky Cincinnati googling, and I learned that the very
Speaker 1: first commercial haunted house was in Deer Park, Ohio, which
Speaker 1: is where my dad grew up, and started in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy as part of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Junior
Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce. But they were called the j CS
Speaker 1: for j C Junior Chamber, and they would just like
Speaker 1: find spooky abandoned houses and make these like really crazy
Speaker 1: themed rooms before the time of leg spirit Halloween stories,
Speaker 1: so like homemade props and things like that. But you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up in Cincinnati. My whole life in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: is kind of a spooky town. But I had no
Speaker 1: idea that like the sort of haunted houses we know
Speaker 1: it today began there. And I've been fascinated by this
Speaker 1: all week. Also, the guy who started it is this
Speaker 1: like local gardening expert in Cincinnati. He's on like, you know,
Speaker 1: the Grandma radio stations and you're like, how did you
Speaker 1: come up with haunted houses? My guy like what? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So the like so in the sense that the earliest
Speaker 1: sort of documented how haunted house type things were people
Speaker 1: just setting up like grandiose displays in rooms and like,
Speaker 1: and then that kind of evolved to what we have
Speaker 1: now with our characters and mazes and whatnot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I read that. It was like initially like there were
Speaker 1: some earlier haunted houses that were like sort of like
Speaker 1: one off things or like in the Great Depression, I
Speaker 1: guess there are a bunch of rascally boys out on
Speaker 1: the streets on Halloween nights, so they're like, we need
Speaker 1: to keep them indoors, so people would like turn their
Speaker 1: basements into haunted houses. But yeah, the first sort of
Speaker 1: like let's charge admission that, let's make this an event,
Speaker 1: like you know, let's make this like a destination. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just little Deer Park, Ohio. Yeah, wild times. I lived
Speaker 1: in a Dayton for five years, and I remember, like
Speaker 1: I have a memory where my friends and I were going.
Speaker 1: We're like planning to go to Cincinnati to go to
Speaker 1: like this haunted house or I think it was a
Speaker 1: haunted hospital there, Like it has multiple floors, it's terrifying,
Speaker 1: and then I like babied out and was like, you guys,
Speaker 1: I just I don't think we should do it. Exactly
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Yeah, this is like a local legend.
Speaker 1: Was like, if you survive every floor, you get like
Speaker 1: the top floors the scariest, but you gotta survive. Sign
Speaker 1: a waiver if anything happens to you. Yeah. I remember
Speaker 1: we were in the van getting ready to go, and
Speaker 1: I like came up with an excuse for why I
Speaker 1: couldn't go, And I think I like the whole trip.
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I love horror movies that I
Speaker 1: do not funk with haunted houses. I do not want
Speaker 1: to be touched. I don't want anybody in my face.
Speaker 1: Like that's a whole different level. Yeah, that's why I was.
Speaker 1: I think the last time we talked about it, I'll
Speaker 1: walk through that thing screaming, trying to be more scary
Speaker 1: to the characters, just like wild, this is my place,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like petrifying. So I don't do It's
Speaker 1: not good for my blood pressure. By the way, the
Speaker 1: people should know, just so that in case we have
Speaker 1: listeners who like to picture things in their mind that
Speaker 1: Miles is now a standing podcaster and so we get
Speaker 1: like when he was just doing that, he paced around
Speaker 1: and was flexing on imaginary the stage. Yeah, this is fun. Man,
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump in a debate. Yeah, what is something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Kate? Oh boy, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a lot of haters for this one, but I gotta
Speaker 1: do it because it's reasonally appropriate. Um. I think Christmas
Speaker 1: music is wild overrated, and I think people who start
Speaker 1: listening to it like in mid October, like that's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I'm not saying all Christmas music is bad.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Christmas music shouldn't you played during the
Speaker 1: Christmas season, but when there are like three radio stations
Speaker 1: dedicated to Christmas music, like November one, that is a
Speaker 1: little bit of overkill, guys, I would say, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: Really it's a strange phenomenon that like for a month,
Speaker 1: Like that's how powerful Christmas is that for a month
Speaker 1: we all just listened to like mediocre music and it's
Speaker 1: like the same every year or just yeah, but it is.
Speaker 1: I mean it's all about nostalgia, right, So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's what's wild. Yeah, it's like it's an emotional
Speaker 1: safe space for a lot of American people. Like, but
Speaker 1: this time of year was great because in school would
Speaker 1: be out and I could stay home and there were
Speaker 1: gifts and then I saw a family and then I
Speaker 1: didn't have to go to school. And I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of my because I'm one of these people,
Speaker 1: like I will turn into a straight up Karen starting
Speaker 1: December one, Like I trying to wait or maybe right
Speaker 1: after that's reasonable though, after Thanksgiving, but the like people
Speaker 1: are listening to Christmas music in middlec Over, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: that's such a long time and too much of a
Speaker 1: thing you like is bad, like it will become meaningless
Speaker 1: because I only I really like you're saying, there are
Speaker 1: only like sixteen songs I really like, and you will
Speaker 1: go through them like songs back then were like ninety seconds,
Speaker 1: So you listen to all of them like forty minutes,
Speaker 1: you're like, fuck, man, another round that playlist single about
Speaker 1: rock again but again. The thing I do is I'll
Speaker 1: put on like piano covers, like piano jazz covers of
Speaker 1: like Christmas standards at night to make my house feel
Speaker 1: like a hotel lobby that I'm not supposed to be in.
Speaker 1: M hmm, yeah, I like that. Do you have like
Speaker 1: some cinnamon like pot pourri that you can put there?
Speaker 1: Yea to some some milling spices. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You've got that milling spices. I got that I have.
Speaker 1: I have my woodwick Yankee candles. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: With that clock, I'm telling I'm not joking about this,
Speaker 1: the vibe setting I do. I'm the big austere glass
Speaker 1: like non cheerful. I'm just trying to picture like a
Speaker 1: fancy hotel at Christmas. I feel like they have like
Speaker 1: two giant glass fucking Christmas tree or something so many
Speaker 1: orbs or like a like a gigantic what looks like
Speaker 1: a scientific glass flask, which is meant to like evoke
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree with like ribbon. It's like very minimal,
Speaker 1: it's very fancy. I do feel like the early, like
Speaker 1: the fact that Christmas is getting earlier and earlier is
Speaker 1: probably connected to the overall like infantilization of America, because
Speaker 1: like I hadn't really made the connection until like now
Speaker 1: I have a three year old who starts asking about
Speaker 1: Christmas and like August, and so I feel like it's
Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah, like it's you know, the little baby
Speaker 1: and all of us being like I want Christmas now
Speaker 1: exactly because I'm like, what am I going to deal
Speaker 1: with my thirty seven year old reality? Exactly? I'm fucking nine,
Speaker 1: let's go. I was just talking to my therapist about
Speaker 1: regression and the fact that like so many of us
Speaker 1: have for grass during the pandemic, for better and worse,
Speaker 1: and like I definitely think that's a huge part of
Speaker 1: the Christmas thing getting earlier and earlier. It's like the
Speaker 1: world is so bad, people are just looking for like
Speaker 1: little slivers of comfort, and Christmas music is one of them.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to begrudge anybody's Christmas music listening.
Speaker 1: I just like maybe not for you, but for you
Speaker 1: that I will say. The real racket is a musician
Speaker 1: is like right that Christmas song as we see Mariah Carey,
Speaker 1: like you make a bank for the rest of your
Speaker 1: life as well your grandchildren, Like yeah, right, can you
Speaker 1: imagine like the like you know, like how Anderson Cooper
Speaker 1: is like a Vanderbilt and like there's someone the equivalent
Speaker 1: of like Mariah Carey's descendants to like they descend from that.
Speaker 1: All I want for Christmas money generational wealth, that new money, yeah,
Speaker 1: or who knows if they're smart about it, it's old
Speaker 1: money by the time. It's like, oh man, if that
Speaker 1: hearts around, what's What's something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: This has been in my crowd this week because my
Speaker 1: friend General Hands just did a podcast with one of
Speaker 1: the co creators, And I feel like the internet has
Speaker 1: been super thirsty for lee Pace recently because lee Pace
Speaker 1: has been given us a lot of really great thirst traps.
Speaker 1: But I still find people all the time who have
Speaker 1: either never heard of or never watched Hot and Catch Fire,
Speaker 1: which I think is like the greatest show of the
Speaker 1: sort of golden age of TV. I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I you know, the sort of founding of computers and
Speaker 1: the Internet as we know it today is like not
Speaker 1: a thing that I'm like particularly interested in in the
Speaker 1: same way that like, you know, Baltimore City politics and
Speaker 1: the Wire is not something I thought I'd be interested in.
Speaker 1: But the writing on Home Catch Fire is just unbelievable,
Speaker 1: and it does a really cool bait and switch. From
Speaker 1: season one to season two. You think it's going to
Speaker 1: be like another one of these sort of like bad
Speaker 1: white Man stories and his sort of like redemption, and
Speaker 1: then they just pulled the rug out for under you
Speaker 1: and if it comes about the two female leads who
Speaker 1: are Carrie Busche and oh my god, what Mackenzie Why
Speaker 1: did her name just fallout? Mackenzie Davis? Thank you, yeah,
Speaker 1: And they sort of become the leads of the show
Speaker 1: and it becomes about sort of like women in business
Speaker 1: during a very tumultuous time in the late eighties and
Speaker 1: early nineties. Incredible music choices. One of the most elegantly
Speaker 1: produced shows that has like a bunch of massive time
Speaker 1: jumps in it, which is really cool to like see
Speaker 1: characters ten years after we met them. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: It's just one of the best shows, and I still
Speaker 1: feel like a ton of people have never seen it.
Speaker 1: I think it's still streaming on Netflix. But yeah, if
Speaker 1: you have not watched Holton catch Fire, like what a
Speaker 1: what a nice cozy blanket of a show about some
Speaker 1: fucked up people just trying to be a little bit
Speaker 1: better for each other. Damn. Okay, I couldn't take a
Speaker 1: suggestion more seriously than from you, So I'm definitely I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch it now. It's funny because i'm
Speaker 1: looking it up. I'm like, wait, Chris can't Well is
Speaker 1: the show under the Crying Nazi from Charlotte of Bill
Speaker 1: But it's just an unfortunate common name. It is a
Speaker 1: common name. Yeah, but yeah, I liked I watched like
Speaker 1: the first couple when I was on and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is boring, this is a mad Men rip off.
Speaker 1: And then I had friends who were like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you need to stick with it. And you do need
Speaker 1: to stick with it because it kind of becomes a
Speaker 1: completely different show after the first season. So yeah, check
Speaker 1: it out, guys. The theme music all today this Danish
Speaker 1: like E d M producer who are really fun. Okay,
Speaker 1: you might remember him from I know you'll remember this
Speaker 1: if you remember East Bounding Down when they do Ecstasy
Speaker 1: at the dance and there's a song music that's trying
Speaker 1: to molder. Yeah, I think one of the guys from
Speaker 1: Tangerine dream Too does some of the music, which is
Speaker 1: really cool. That's like a nice throwback to all those
Speaker 1: great eighties Tangerine Dreams. Course. But yeah, well watch Howland
Speaker 1: catch Fire. Guys, it's so good. All right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We're gonna watch howt and catch
Speaker 1: Fire and it's entirety and be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: You weren't kidding? What a show? What was it? Mating Switch?
Speaker 1: I did watch it onto X Speed, but I think
Speaker 1: I got most of it, the one where like somebody
Speaker 1: blinks into existence for like one split second and then
Speaker 1: flints after existence, or they might have like had a
Speaker 1: long SNI was happy forget. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 1: Governor Christye Nome and her alleged nepotism issues. Alleged so
Speaker 1: her daughter was trying to get a real estate appraiser license.
Speaker 1: The tests were not fair, they were too hard, and
Speaker 1: so her her mom stepped in to make it all better. Yea,
Speaker 1: And what's what's wrong that the most American thing nepotism
Speaker 1: and being helped out by rich, powerful by gover mom.
Speaker 1: What's government that let graver mom step in and make
Speaker 1: it all better? And yeah, like it was a whole thing.
Speaker 1: She had to come out and deny it because the
Speaker 1: whole thing was like again, if you if you didn't
Speaker 1: listen to that episode she want to get her license,
Speaker 1: They said, you know, she wasn't even doing the bare minimum,
Speaker 1: so we had to deny it. And then the governor
Speaker 1: Gnome calls like the like sort of the power brokers
Speaker 1: or the people who have the power to decide or
Speaker 1: oversee this process of giving these licenses out, summoned them
Speaker 1: to her office for like a fucking talk with her
Speaker 1: daughter in the fucking room, and then like then suddenly
Speaker 1: people were like, oh wait, but now she got approved
Speaker 1: after that meeting, which again I just want to refresh
Speaker 1: everyone's memory. That led us to this clip where Christine
Speaker 1: Nome was very much saying like, look, I don't know
Speaker 1: like what's happening here. I just know that here we'll
Speaker 1: we'll just like to say it for herself. I raised
Speaker 1: her to accomplish things on her own, just like my
Speaker 1: parents raised me. Other appraisers went through the exact same
Speaker 1: process that Cassidy did, and I'll be honest, my administration
Speaker 1: started fixing that process and it was way too difficult. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's really the one part of that thing we
Speaker 1: need to hear say. It's like, yeah, man, I had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. I'm gonna be real. We
Speaker 1: changed some ship though to make it easier because it
Speaker 1: was really unfair. It was too hard. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: be real like, and I'll be honest, it had to
Speaker 1: change because it's it is unfortunately too difficult. So yes, her, Well,
Speaker 1: it turns out that all this attention on sweet young
Speaker 1: Cassidy has been way too much, and now she is,
Speaker 1: I guess ready to throw it in And I just
Speaker 1: want to read this this sort of excerpt from the AP.
Speaker 1: GNOME's daughter, Cassidy Peters, slammed a legislative inquiry and news
Speaker 1: reporting on the episode in a letter to Secretary of
Speaker 1: Labor Marcia Holtman. She also released a document that alleged
Speaker 1: it of Committee was seeking to subpoena Oh okay, so
Speaker 1: someone was looking so it was like pois lawmakers were
Speaker 1: zeroing in on the timeline of a meeting Gnome called
Speaker 1: last year that included Peter's and key decision makers in
Speaker 1: a government agency that had moved days earlier to deny
Speaker 1: her application. Oh so here's the thing, as she's saying,
Speaker 1: like she's gonna quit or like there's nothing to see here.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious if she's trying to do that thing
Speaker 1: where like maybe you stole something but then you like
Speaker 1: you ditch it. So if like people start looking for
Speaker 1: you could be like, I never I don't know I
Speaker 1: have it, I never really had it, So maybe you
Speaker 1: don't have to care about this anymore. Like it's kind
Speaker 1: of like her energy. Here's sort of like oh ship
Speaker 1: Subpoena's here's this other thing, which leads us to the
Speaker 1: next part, which he says, quote, I am writing you today.
Speaker 1: This is her writing to the Secretary of Labor. I
Speaker 1: am writing to you today to express my disappointment and
Speaker 1: anger that my good name and professional reputation continue to
Speaker 1: be damaged by questions and misinformation concerning the appraiser certification program.
Speaker 1: She went on to say that she would turn in
Speaker 1: her fucking appraiser license by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: End of the year, though I'm angry, and I can
Speaker 1: acknowledge that this has successfully destroyed my business. M hmm,
Speaker 1: I mean you hate to see it. It's a assassination.
Speaker 1: It's a character assassination of somebody who dared to be like,
Speaker 1: this test is too hard. Yeah, that is. That's just
Speaker 1: an amazing, like comedy moment of someone sitting down to
Speaker 1: a test like that everyone's taking and just like stamp
Speaker 1: being like, yo, this is too hard. Right, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: what this is too hard? Or maybe you didn't prepare.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like it's like full strike sand effect too.
Speaker 1: By calling attention to it's made it such a worse
Speaker 1: problem than it would initially be. I love that. Why
Speaker 1: women are getting the bulness of old white guys and terms.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, too little Tommy, I had a hard
Speaker 1: time on the geometry tests, so I'm going to sue
Speaker 1: the school board. Oh god, white women are occurs as
Speaker 1: a white woman, I would like to just say, and
Speaker 1: you know, white women are are exercising nepotism too, like
Speaker 1: their male counterparts have been hearing for so many years.
Speaker 1: What a nightmare. I mean, look, I would love a
Speaker 1: little nepotism. There's a show, there's a track that we
Speaker 1: just went out on recently called the mission, and that's
Speaker 1: like this black singer or something about like how much
Speaker 1: he would yearn to have his kids experience a little nepotism,
Speaker 1: and that's the mission. But yeah, this this defense again,
Speaker 1: it's like, how dare you point out that my mother
Speaker 1: abused her power of her office to make my life
Speaker 1: easier all while the regular working poor people had to
Speaker 1: just do it with their bootstraps and also misinformation for
Speaker 1: good measures. She through that word in there. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: she didn't evoke the holy Trinity of right, the right
Speaker 1: wing scapegoat trinity of basically being like it's George Sorow,
Speaker 1: Antifa and Black Lives Matter once again, critical race theory.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that Antony Morrison's beloved. I mean, the stream
Speaker 1: of consciousness storytelling in that book completely upended my business.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm an s A T. Proctor. This test
Speaker 1: is too hard, this is not fair. I object as
Speaker 1: this is not fair. Anyways, just shout out to I
Speaker 1: I do. I hope this does not dissuade anybody from
Speaker 1: subpoenaing the records and you know, let letting us know,
Speaker 1: because I really want to see like the test, like
Speaker 1: what she turned in. What what what we're looking at,
Speaker 1: like the her first draft of like trying to get
Speaker 1: this ship done. I want to see the questions that
Speaker 1: she got wrong. Yeah, so keep keep it moving for
Speaker 1: us folks. All right, Well, let's talk about schools. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about schools being unfair. Yeah, speaking of that, because
Speaker 1: you know, in addition to pouring billions of dollars into
Speaker 1: the sweatpant industry, the pandemic has changed a lot about
Speaker 1: how we think about schooling because parents had to had
Speaker 1: to do it. I had to like sit there with
Speaker 1: their kids while they were trying to learn. It was
Speaker 1: very difficult. But you know, at the end of there
Speaker 1: was an unprecedented rise in fs, which you know, it
Speaker 1: feels it feels like that is one way to deal with,
Speaker 1: like the fact that a complete act of God that
Speaker 1: nobody had any control over came in and made it
Speaker 1: much harder for kids to learn is to blame it
Speaker 1: on the kids and you know, make the rest of
Speaker 1: their lives harder by just flunking them. But a bunch
Speaker 1: of school boards have been coming together to try to
Speaker 1: address this issue, figure out like how they can change
Speaker 1: how we think about schooling and you know, how we
Speaker 1: judge students in a way that will be more fair
Speaker 1: and more appropriate to the modern world, right, because apparently,
Speaker 1: like the the letter grade thing was invented like a
Speaker 1: hundred years ago or I guess, and twenty day back
Speaker 1: to and the reason that it stuck is because it
Speaker 1: became like very common in the how we graded meat,
Speaker 1: and so that's that's how it got like sort of
Speaker 1: became such a grade, right, rate F beef, that's my question. Like,
Speaker 1: oh man, my grandfather used to tell a funny story
Speaker 1: as the parent of German immigrants who didn't speak a
Speaker 1: ton of English, that a bunch of kids which just
Speaker 1: lie to their parents about what the grading scale meant.
Speaker 1: So it was like F was fine, Dan was damn fine,
Speaker 1: CEE was could do better, B was bad and as
Speaker 1: awful son. I mean, you know, it has a certain
Speaker 1: sort of a sense to it. But kids won't be
Speaker 1: able to get away with that ship anymore apparently. But
Speaker 1: I like the things that they're you know, looking to
Speaker 1: change are basically they want kids to be judged based
Speaker 1: on how mastery of the skill they're trying to learn.
Speaker 1: So if they have learned it well enough to do it,
Speaker 1: then they get by. If they haven't done that, then
Speaker 1: they have to keep going. But like which I assumed
Speaker 1: is like how teachers were thinking about the letter grades
Speaker 1: to write like that, oh well they haven't learned math,
Speaker 1: but they're pointing out that, like they're stupid things that
Speaker 1: go into somebody failing, like you know, missing a class
Speaker 1: or not following directions, and so they're trying to do
Speaker 1: away with that sort of thing, right, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: I mean all that ship did for me was just
Speaker 1: obsess over being and then like scoring above nine on
Speaker 1: tests because that was a threshold for an A. And
Speaker 1: half the time it was just I mean it was
Speaker 1: funny too, because I think the letter I think because
Speaker 1: culturally I was so sort of oriented to be like
Speaker 1: these fucking a's better be hitting on this card when
Speaker 1: I see it. That like it put into me like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I gotta do anything to get in a more than
Speaker 1: even being like I gotta do whatever it takes to learn.
Speaker 1: This became more about you know, can I cramp memory
Speaker 1: recall the funk out of this for a test? And also,
Speaker 1: truth be told, I hated science. I just started cheating
Speaker 1: in science because I was like, funk that I'm not
Speaker 1: sucking my grades though, Yeah, I'll fucking I will. I
Speaker 1: will order the teacher's edition of this physics book and
Speaker 1: do I have the test already? So thank you. It's
Speaker 1: so real, though, it's like you're not learning things. You're
Speaker 1: just like, let me learn the structure of the eyeball
Speaker 1: for this biology quiz and then not retain a lick
Speaker 1: of it for any future. Are sort of like things.
Speaker 1: But guys, what about our permanent records? It's going to
Speaker 1: go on our permanent records? Oh my god, I haven't
Speaker 1: even heard you know. You fucked me up just saying
Speaker 1: that out loud. This is gonna be on your permanent record, y'all?
Speaker 1: Like this is gonna Yeah, It's like I never saw it,
Speaker 1: didn't exist about this. He said you were full of shit,
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, we'll talk about that at the
Speaker 1: parent teacher for any children listeners, Like, not a day
Speaker 1: goes by where my permanent record from middle school is
Speaker 1: not dangling over my head by the police, by the
Speaker 1: I R. S, Banks, employers, everything, the doctor. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so La and San Diego Unified school districts are directing
Speaker 1: teachers too, and this sounds like what they should have
Speaker 1: already been doing based academic grades on whether students have
Speaker 1: learned what was expected of them during a course, and
Speaker 1: not penalize them for behavior, work habits, and missed deadlines.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, motherfucker, that that's how we should have
Speaker 1: always been doing it. Because the school closures that happened
Speaker 1: disproportionately affected the grids of black and Latin X students.
Speaker 1: So yeah, right, I mean, it's it's it's interesting too write,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's plenty of alternative schools that take
Speaker 1: this into account because I feel like that's just a
Speaker 1: huge focus area for people in education. But like I
Speaker 1: think it's like the stakes are just so high, like
Speaker 1: they feel so high in this like a through f
Speaker 1: system that it will either create like kids will either
Speaker 1: very quickly be like Okay, fuck it, I can like
Speaker 1: rise to this situation or check out because it just
Speaker 1: becomes frustrating, you know, and even if they can, like
Speaker 1: I have so many friends who were more than capable
Speaker 1: of being in AP classes, but like the momentum of
Speaker 1: like academia and like being sort of told like you're
Speaker 1: kind of like a C student, It's like no, man,
Speaker 1: his parents were fighting all the time, and he was
Speaker 1: distracted and couldn't do his fucking homework like other kids
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like that's sort of what's happening here. You know,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna like this mainstream media. I feel like
Speaker 1: the mains stream media is a society of straight A
Speaker 1: students got into that and or a lot of students
Speaker 1: go ahead and buy on depotism and you know who
Speaker 1: like actually think and I think a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: just a lot of like the people empower in America,
Speaker 1: Well not like this, because there is a belief that like,
Speaker 1: well I went to a better college and that means
Speaker 1: not that I'm I had more opportunities, but that I'm
Speaker 1: like actually smarter and need to like be in control
Speaker 1: and like making these decisions that affect other people because
Speaker 1: I need to make them for them. Like that is
Speaker 1: definitely under like under girding like a lot of how
Speaker 1: people think, and I think the media and the world
Speaker 1: of finance, and like that's also how they justified just
Speaker 1: the generally fucked up way that our society is built out.
Speaker 1: So like the idea that what do you mean my
Speaker 1: kid can't get straight a's Like that's but it's a
Speaker 1: competition based market, I mean society that we have. I'm
Speaker 1: glad we've like started having this conversation about gifted kids
Speaker 1: and like that whole escalator of madness. Like I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys like we talked too much about
Speaker 1: it on Twitter, I will say, and there have been
Speaker 1: too many things in the sort of like former gifted
Speaker 1: kids do this. But I don't know, Like I myself
Speaker 1: and a lot of my friends, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we've been grinding since we were five, like this, it's
Speaker 1: not fun anymore. Like I got all the a's, I
Speaker 1: did all the right stuff, I still can't buy a
Speaker 1: fucking house, Like I am taking a breather and smoking
Speaker 1: some weep like I am not. Like yeah, it's I
Speaker 1: hope parents are like loosening the reins on some of
Speaker 1: that stuff too, and realizing that, like if every kid
Speaker 1: gets straight a's and every kid does all the right
Speaker 1: sort of like extracurriculars, like you're still in the same
Speaker 1: boat when things like COVID happened. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I I can, like see the Fox News segment
Speaker 1: on this. Now it's gonna be like tied to the
Speaker 1: war on Christmas. It's like the war on report cards,
Speaker 1: woke woke report cards, where work cards are now woke
Speaker 1: because it's even now too hard to hear that you
Speaker 1: have failed at something. Yeah, sure, but I mean I
Speaker 1: think it goes along with this other thing too, Like this,
Speaker 1: these studies constantly come out like again, they're showing like
Speaker 1: and like Harvard, like white students that were admitted were
Speaker 1: like recruited athletes. Legacy students are like on the Dean's
Speaker 1: interest list, meaning like parents gave money, and you're saying
Speaker 1: forty three percent of those kids going to Harvard are
Speaker 1: there because of not I'm sure of like the hardcore
Speaker 1: merit based admissions that many of the other students face.
Speaker 1: But there's just always these levels to like it's never
Speaker 1: the same scale fight to everyone. So it would be
Speaker 1: interesting to see where something where it's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess what in this version, this kid too will be
Speaker 1: treated as a valid applicant to a school because we
Speaker 1: have a more just sort of holistic, even keeled way
Speaker 1: of saying like, yep, this kid knows that this kid
Speaker 1: does too. We are the best of the best of
Speaker 1: billion of the children. But so there are reason to
Speaker 1: believe that this is a better pristance. There's a school
Speaker 1: in New York City that tried this, basically did away
Speaker 1: with letter grades, and it was a middle school, and
Speaker 1: they say in this Washington Post article quote, the approach
Speaker 1: has been transformative. In the fourteen school years, seven percent
Speaker 1: of its students read at grade level and five percent
Speaker 1: met the state's math standards. Two years later, twenty nine
Speaker 1: percent were proficient in English, twenty six percent proficient in math,
Speaker 1: pulling the school close to the city average, just by
Speaker 1: getting rid of these standards of past fail and like
Speaker 1: the I also feel like there's like there are a
Speaker 1: lot of great teachers like I. I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of great teachers. I've also seen teachers who feel empowered
Speaker 1: because they get to be like past fail, I get
Speaker 1: to pass judgment on these kids lives. Fucking miss heacocks,
Speaker 1: I still remember your ass. I don't think we've forgotten.
Speaker 1: Yeah she tried. But guess what, I'm good at math,
Speaker 1: So there's you can't hold me down. There are some
Speaker 1: teachers that are just like straight sabers, and you know,
Speaker 1: to say not to malign the many many wonderful, dedicated
Speaker 1: like this is their life's work. Teachers in the world.
Speaker 1: But you do think back on some of those teachers
Speaker 1: you had, You're like, what was your deal? Man? Like
Speaker 1: what was going on here? Like, right, I had this
Speaker 1: like older person just take all their like life's anger
Speaker 1: out on me. Like legit. When I look back, and
Speaker 1: you kind of have the wherewithal to understand like human
Speaker 1: behavior a little bit more outside of like the academic
Speaker 1: or like child adult dynamic, I was like, Yo, you
Speaker 1: were so fucking unhappy with your life and you just
Speaker 1: got your jollyes off walking in here and just acting
Speaker 1: a fool like that was really that was the loop
Speaker 1: you were caught in. Unfortunately we were calling you the teacher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but again, like you're saying, I've luckily had so many
Speaker 1: good teachers that, like I could tell I was maybe
Speaker 1: like starting to check out or whatever. I was just distracted.
Speaker 1: I'd rather funk around or something. And they would always
Speaker 1: come like kind of you know, gass you up and
Speaker 1: be like, hey man, you're smart, like you can do
Speaker 1: this ship like just do it. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: you got well. And that's such a problem with like
Speaker 1: contemporary schooling too, is like we all have such specific
Speaker 1: ways of learning and retaining information and teachers have to
Speaker 1: figure out the thirty different styles of that for every
Speaker 1: kid in their class, every period. Teachers should be making
Speaker 1: like five grand a year. Yeah, they should be the
Speaker 1: ballers of the earth. Like if you go to a
Speaker 1: nightclub and they're coming through a bottle service and the
Speaker 1: fucking flares, you're like, oh, you know the teachers in
Speaker 1: the building. There should be a bunch of ugly sweaters
Speaker 1: at the booth that those Yeah, just like sipping in
Speaker 1: the crystal. Yeah, like shout out all the teachers in
Speaker 1: the building. We've got to want drinks for teachers. I
Speaker 1: like this club. All right, we're going to take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back to find out
Speaker 1: why red wine is like weed. Seriously, you guys, And
Speaker 1: we're back, and yeah, it seems like everybody wants to
Speaker 1: get on the legal weed bandwagon. The approval rating for weed,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just shot through the roof. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: another conservative see like the revenue potential, Like they're introducing
Speaker 1: fucking bills now, Like, yeah, we didn't decriminalize weeds, folks.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuss going on with everybody, man,
Speaker 1: but you criminalized weeds. Yeah, immediately you're like, okay, sure,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean weed is uh, you know, becoming
Speaker 1: more and more normal and there. But here's the thing, man, Like,
Speaker 1: so there's these studies it's like the weed like things
Speaker 1: the from working out will enter your body, which I understand.
Speaker 1: Like there's always like headlines like that were like this
Speaker 1: computer algorithm invented the new heroin, or like chocolate consumption
Speaker 1: links to longer life, and you're like, I like that
Speaker 1: as a headline. I'm not gonna look into it much
Speaker 1: more than that because I like the idea that me
Speaker 1: eating this chocolate will extend my life. And then you
Speaker 1: look into it, you're like, there's properties within chocolate, like
Speaker 1: in this very narrow study when you used this way
Speaker 1: had a better effect for like mice. And then you're like, well,
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with me eating this gigantic
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving pie from reesus. So in this sense, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like the sensational mixed with the scientific, and it
Speaker 1: usually drives a lot of clicks because you like hearing things.
Speaker 1: It's like weed makes you smarter, and you're like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: and then you look you're like, maybe this wasn't the
Speaker 1: hardest of sciences. But this one was very interesting and
Speaker 1: just saying like red wine is like it's giving people
Speaker 1: like a weed type feeling. And this was the sort
Speaker 1: of subheading under this study quote red wine induces psychological
Speaker 1: states characterized by Bliss, a focus on the present moment
Speaker 1: and enhanced fascination with one surroundings, and a softening of
Speaker 1: the differentiation between oneself and the environment, where when consumed
Speaker 1: in a tranquil environment, According to a new research study,
Speaker 1: I said, oh, okay, this is the first time I
Speaker 1: started to wonder, and it would it would be like
Speaker 1: the end of Usual Suspects when he starts like seeing
Speaker 1: all the things that Kayser says it was on the
Speaker 1: bottom of the mug. Yeah, Like is there a big
Speaker 1: red wine? Like is there a big wine? That is
Speaker 1: like putting all these studies out because I feel like
Speaker 1: all my life, all I've heard is like red wine
Speaker 1: is actually like basically fucking health food. You guys like
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that we don't let kids drink
Speaker 1: red wine because it would make them live till they're
Speaker 1: a thousand years old and make them smarter. Hey, snoop dogg,
Speaker 1: here's three billion bucks to say weeds the red wines
Speaker 1: the new weed. Yeah for shizzle, I guess it is
Speaker 1: red whistle, but yeah, maybe there is big red Wine.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know they were behind that. This was
Speaker 1: like five or six years ago, but I read I
Speaker 1: don't even know what publication was in, but it was
Speaker 1: about big kale and how kale suddenly became like a
Speaker 1: sexy vegetable again, And it was because they dumped like
Speaker 1: millions of dollars into marketing kale as this like super
Speaker 1: food when it had been garnish on like buffet, pizza, salad, buffets.
Speaker 1: Pizza Hut was the biggest consumer of kale to buffet
Speaker 1: for all the nineties because those red cups. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: because they used it as the garnish in between like
Speaker 1: things on the And then there is a big red
Speaker 1: wine because they've realized to a bunch of like wine
Speaker 1: moms who realized that we eat is like easier to
Speaker 1: deal with on a daily basis than red wine. It's
Speaker 1: the same thing like with Rose. Like Rose definitely had
Speaker 1: a huge push from I guess whatever. They're quick enough.
Speaker 1: Lobbyists are, but like you know, their consultants who go
Speaker 1: out and like we're like, hey man, it's all about rose.
Speaker 1: Here we go. But yeah, so this study, You're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess what red wine will make you feel like
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey or you're transpending space time and like your
Speaker 1: connections to oneself are enhanced. So I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: what's the methodology around this? Exactly? Because again, very interesting,
Speaker 1: you know proposal from this abstract. So you go in
Speaker 1: and say, well, what's going on? The methodology fucking sounds
Speaker 1: like some ship I would have tried in the in
Speaker 1: the eleventh grade, because it's not. Really the methodology isn't
Speaker 1: that great. They essentially had people fill out a questionnaire
Speaker 1: at a fucking wine bar where people who fucking love
Speaker 1: wine are already hanging out, And I just want to
Speaker 1: read it from this article quote. After arriving at the
Speaker 1: wine bar and being seated at the table, the participants
Speaker 1: completed questionnaires regarding their demographics, drinking habits, and smoking habits.
Speaker 1: They also completed various measures of altered states of consciousness.
Speaker 1: The participants were asked to drink two glasses blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and then they said after they finished their second glass
Speaker 1: of wine, the participants completed the measures of altered states
Speaker 1: of consciousness. Again, Now, I'm not a scientist, although I
Speaker 1: always say I am on this show, and I apologize
Speaker 1: to listeners that have believed my science advice. But isn't
Speaker 1: it like not good to tell people in a study that, like,
Speaker 1: here's the thing we're gonna measure you, measure you on
Speaker 1: on the other side of this too, like I feel
Speaker 1: like you'll you'll, you'll stealth it in the many questions
Speaker 1: or something so they can't quite pick up on what's
Speaker 1: being asked, so your answers aren't biased. But you have
Speaker 1: to do like double blind studies where and usually like
Speaker 1: they'll lie to you about what the studies like in
Speaker 1: a well designed study, they'll like lie to you about
Speaker 1: what it is, like what that they're testing, so that
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about the thing that they're actually testing.
Speaker 1: This sounds like it is like already people who have
Speaker 1: a concerted interest in thinking it's cool and healthy to
Speaker 1: drink wine since they're at a wine bar, and then
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we just want to know like how
Speaker 1: cool and healthy it is for the one, so like
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna be asking you about. Right. It's
Speaker 1: like how I was able to crack like the quantum physics,
Speaker 1: like wildest equation with the help of meth. I was
Speaker 1: told to you by people who are addicted to meth.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, hold on, like, who is this group now? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm way more interested in people who like don't drink
Speaker 1: or rarely having those effects, Like yeah, if you're at
Speaker 1: a wine bar drinking wine, you're probably having a pretty
Speaker 1: good time to begin with. Not the most sort of
Speaker 1: sterile or like neutral venue for such a study, But
Speaker 1: he's the thing. You're like, Okay, well, then what about
Speaker 1: the control group? There was none. There wasn't even a
Speaker 1: control group, And I'm gonna just read these people are
Speaker 1: like what this is not? How dare people even post
Speaker 1: this SIDS quote. Some people may argue that the lack
Speaker 1: of a control group drinking non non alcoholic beverage impeded
Speaker 1: us to examine the effects of just being in a
Speaker 1: pleasant wine bar. However, this is unlikely to have influenced
Speaker 1: the results because when we were doing the study, it
Speaker 1: was clear that for most people, sitting in a wine
Speaker 1: bar drinking a non alcoholic beverage would have been a
Speaker 1: boring an average experience. What what yo? Was the study
Speaker 1: designed and conducted by Christie Elms daughter. I feel like
Speaker 1: we were doing this study really defensive. In contrast, the
Speaker 1: effects we observed were of a highly positive nature. But
Speaker 1: because some researchers may not be aware of how boring
Speaker 1: control conditions with non alcoholic drinks can be, in these cases,
Speaker 1: we would include one in the next study that science guys,
Speaker 1: that's like your eighth grade science teacher like being like, no,
Speaker 1: you did not do this experiment correctly. Look, if you
Speaker 1: were there in the backyard like doing this experiment, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know that it's stupid too, Like you wouldn't even
Speaker 1: done it. I guess I'll do over the next one. Plus,
Speaker 1: they missed an opportunity because it's really fun to give
Speaker 1: people a nonalcoholic beverage and tell them they're getting drunk
Speaker 1: and see, like how wild that could just I mean,
Speaker 1: that really should have been it to be like people
Speaker 1: that you could have been like people at wine bars
Speaker 1: are full of ship y'all. Let me tell you why,
Speaker 1: because we gave them fucking juice and they said they
Speaker 1: were feeling one with the universe. Then the one of
Speaker 1: the sort of authors of the city just went on
Speaker 1: again just to kind of clarify, Like, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: we wine's gonna do all this, but this quote. I
Speaker 1: believe that the appreciation of red wine and other alcoholic
Speaker 1: beverages can be increased when we are more aware of
Speaker 1: its effects on the mind. It also, it's also possible
Speaker 1: that being aware of the effects of alcohol on consciousness
Speaker 1: contribute contributes to healthier drinking styles by reducing impulsive drinking
Speaker 1: that is characterized by lack of awareness. However, research is
Speaker 1: needed to confirm this. Okay, folks, we're out o man.
Speaker 1: So what they have the two things that they've discovered
Speaker 1: People at wine bar enjoy wine. That's good study to
Speaker 1: study for that second bullet point, like wines pretty good.
Speaker 1: Like alcohol is not that bad after to drinks, just
Speaker 1: like don't drinking, which like everybody knows, Like that's yeah,
Speaker 1: if everybody just stopped at to drinks, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have the problems that we do with alcohol.
Speaker 1: But that is not news to anybody, right. I know
Speaker 1: some people with some wine stained teeth that will absolutely
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm talking about this. I feel like wine
Speaker 1: became the new beer of like because it was beer
Speaker 1: in the nine News with the like, oh, I drink,
Speaker 1: but I like drink on the lighter side of things,
Speaker 1: and then it switched to become wine. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I quit drinking a couple of years ago because I
Speaker 1: have a bum stomach. And it is fascinating to like
Speaker 1: be in a bunch of context where people are drinking
Speaker 1: and like some people are legitimately horrified, but you like,
Speaker 1: don't drink anymore, guys. It's not like a personal affront
Speaker 1: to you. I just like I have to do this.
Speaker 1: And I threw up, like that's not fun. You're saying
Speaker 1: I have a dry I drink too much, right, I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm probably high right now, Like I'm not a
Speaker 1: judgment right, Yeah, interesting to see who really gets upset
Speaker 1: when you're not drinking, because it's so like baked into
Speaker 1: the fabric of so many things, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you hear people be like, oh, well, I can't do
Speaker 1: that till I have a couple of drinks or like
Speaker 1: you know, I need to get a little toasty, and
Speaker 1: you're like, dude, not until I've had my wine? Yeah
Speaker 1: really okay, all right? And finally I just wanted to
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, we like to check him
Speaker 1: with Netflix to see who's watching what, and they just
Speaker 1: issued a overall list of the top TV that's ever
Speaker 1: been available for streaming on Netflix, in the top films
Speaker 1: that's ever been available, And yeah, I would I would
Speaker 1: love to hear kate your thoughts on this. The big takeaway,
Speaker 1: the big update is this is post squid Game, and
Speaker 1: so the previous high had been Bridgetin at s million
Speaker 1: hours viewed and now we have squid Game season one
Speaker 1: at one point six billion, so it's almost triple the
Speaker 1: previous high, and like the the second most watch show.
Speaker 1: So like everything else is pretty much where where was
Speaker 1: last time we checked that. I don't see too much
Speaker 1: that's new you. It seems to be room. Uh yeah
Speaker 1: you all right, you are running up the charts. Yeah wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, I was on Netflix, Laura, give it a
Speaker 1: fucking rest. Okay, So I guess I'm interested in hearing
Speaker 1: your thoughts on like trends you're seeing broadly across the
Speaker 1: types of screenplays they are like being greenlit and written
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, it seems like a socialist
Speaker 1: critique of capitalism, like resonating with audiences, like like what
Speaker 1: has been a revelation to a lot of people like
Speaker 1: we're we're writers already on the case. Do you think
Speaker 1: that that is going to be a new trend or
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on all that? I mean, let
Speaker 1: us hope. So I do think it's incredibly fascinating that,
Speaker 1: like the number one Netflix TV show of all time
Speaker 1: is an international show that, like I'm not saying nobody
Speaker 1: in Hollywood would have taken a chance on, but like
Speaker 1: the creator has talked about, he got passes for like
Speaker 1: ten years and then suddenly it becomes this monster hit
Speaker 1: on Netflix. And I think it's a good lesson in
Speaker 1: being like fuck the trends, like funk what everybody else says,
Speaker 1: like make the thing you want to make and make
Speaker 1: it well, and like the audience will find itself. I am.
Speaker 1: I'm really interested that Netflix is sort of switching their
Speaker 1: metric from the like two minutes watch to like what
Speaker 1: is it now? An hour or like half of whatever
Speaker 1: the thing is. It's not old Facebook style, but like
Speaker 1: two minutes watched, you're like, yeah, that's like I went
Speaker 1: to get a drink after my thing ended and two
Speaker 1: minutes of Red Notice played. I did not watch Red
Speaker 1: Notice like that. The Red Notice that is wild to
Speaker 1: me though, that they're saying, what is it seventy four
Speaker 1: million households watched Red Notice because like, I don't know
Speaker 1: anybody who did um, But yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's an interesting time for content. I am hoping we
Speaker 1: keep on this trend of like, at least in the
Speaker 1: immediate future. I don't want to see any media about COVID,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want any topical like, oh, it's like
Speaker 1: of the moment. We're like, we're like all the people
Speaker 1: were like, oh, guys, but during Trump, we're going to
Speaker 1: get so much good art. Like we did not, folks,
Speaker 1: we did not get a bunch of good Trump art.
Speaker 1: There's that one X Files episode that was like literally it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it is interesting, Like I think
Speaker 1: people are craving more if this sort of like feel
Speaker 1: good escapist stuff like if ted Lasso comes out two
Speaker 1: years ago, I don't know fit has the same sort
Speaker 1: of reaction it does in the pandemic when everybody is
Speaker 1: home and like on the other side of that coin,
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody is like feeling bad watching five
Speaker 1: episodes of Tiger King if they're not like immediately quarantined.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think the thing that's most
Speaker 1: excited about streaming to me, just like generally, is that
Speaker 1: we might see a little bit of a bounce back
Speaker 1: in these sort of like middle budget movies that have
Speaker 1: been really swallowed up in the theatrical It's like you're
Speaker 1: either going super Indie Awards route or you're going huge
Speaker 1: tent pole for a studio. And there have been to
Speaker 1: some things I feel like that have been popping up
Speaker 1: on streaming that are a little bit more in that
Speaker 1: middle zone. So that's definitely exciting to me. Like bird Boxes,
Speaker 1: I guess that was like kind of a like there
Speaker 1: were a lot of effects and it had to create
Speaker 1: a post Puck elliptic reality, but it wasn't like what
Speaker 1: it wasn't like pre existing I p And it wasn't
Speaker 1: you know. An extraction is just basically a straight down
Speaker 1: the middle like action movie that used to be made
Speaker 1: in like the eighties and early nineties but not really
Speaker 1: so much any more. Yeah, the Extraction when they're is
Speaker 1: fascinating to me that that's like one of the most
Speaker 1: watch movies on the platform. And then The Irishman, which
Speaker 1: cost a ton of money but like it's all on
Speaker 1: the screen too, so you're like, Okay, like Martin, you
Speaker 1: get to Happy Birthday short Kang Martin Scorsese yesterday. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think these trends are gonna be really interesting, especially
Speaker 1: as people like Scorsese are making like, you know, a
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar movies for Apple, which is his next one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I don't know, Like sometimes I
Speaker 1: feel good, what I'm depressed to watch something like really
Speaker 1: feel bad and nihilistic, But like, I don't know, after
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you're like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how much brain bandwidth I have for anything, let alone somethings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna make me feel terrible, so I will just
Speaker 1: watch another episode of Bake Off. Do you like? I
Speaker 1: think do you think that there's because I've been wondering
Speaker 1: if we're not headed for a like time when conservative
Speaker 1: like in the eighties, you know, conservative media was kind
Speaker 1: of a thing, or like the Reaganism was kind of
Speaker 1: a thing. Do you foresee that or like, have you
Speaker 1: seen any trends towards that in like the screenplays are
Speaker 1: getting made, or like just any like regressing a little
Speaker 1: bit in that sense. Yeah, I mean I think this
Speaker 1: moment that we're in in terms of justlike new satanic
Speaker 1: panic or like all of the shady ship that's been
Speaker 1: going on around credit card companies and banks and sex
Speaker 1: workers and the sort of like you know, crushed to
Speaker 1: to make everything, like I don't know, more palatable for
Speaker 1: all audiences, or like I don't know, I noticed this
Speaker 1: all the time on Twitter, like people being like I
Speaker 1: had a hard time with this piece of media. So
Speaker 1: it's like inherently terrible to portray this subject because it
Speaker 1: was triggering to me, which I think is an interesting
Speaker 1: conversation to have. But I also don't think we can
Speaker 1: just like dismiss media wholesale because like it was upsetting
Speaker 1: to us, like you know, a very a specific person.
Speaker 1: I don't mean in the sense of like you know,
Speaker 1: Chappelle making the transfers. That's a different conversation, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, the shitty boyfriend in this thing reminds me
Speaker 1: of my former shitty boyfriends, So the whole thing is
Speaker 1: bad and we should canceled it. Like that's a different,
Speaker 1: different line of thinking. But yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: you'll get to see some of these like new conservative movies. Um,
Speaker 1: like what's Ben Shapiro doing like that whole school shooting movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a no thanks for me, folks, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the thing I always point to with this
Speaker 1: is like, you know, there are a bunch of those
Speaker 1: like inspirational Jesus e movies that get made every year,
Speaker 1: and they seem like they fly under the radar. But
Speaker 1: then you look and you're like, oh, this movie cost
Speaker 1: two million dollars and made forty million dollars and I've
Speaker 1: ever heard of it. Like yeah, so I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure leaving money on the table. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you can write the funk out of a Jesus movie.
Speaker 1: That'd be like, this is one of the best ones
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Yeah, to keep it holy. You know,
Speaker 1: I speak the language. I was indoctrinated for K through twelve,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll stay in bounced. But yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. I feel like, you know, this sort of
Speaker 1: like like all the parents who were outraged about Disney
Speaker 1: putting like, you know, sort of content warnings on some
Speaker 1: of the more problematic older movies and stuff. I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: you know, at what point do those folks totally give
Speaker 1: up on like traditional media and start doing their own
Speaker 1: thing because it's too biased or too woke or whatever.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know. I don't see those
Speaker 1: Disney adults giving it up. No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: So it's religion, it's religion. I mean, my my the
Speaker 1: thing is that the way that they've taken like the
Speaker 1: legitimate complaints of you know, people of color or you know,
Speaker 1: people who are poor and people who like don't have
Speaker 1: enough money to have healthcare in America, Like, the way
Speaker 1: they've taken those is they've like made it into like
Speaker 1: converse stations about like warnings on Disney movies. And I
Speaker 1: think by doing that they are making like that those
Speaker 1: initial legitimate complaints seem ridiculous. And so that's what that's
Speaker 1: where my area of concern is, is that that becomes
Speaker 1: the mainstream like I thought people have when they hear
Speaker 1: woke or they hear like anything coming from the left,
Speaker 1: is like, oh, you just like are worried about like
Speaker 1: content warnings or whatever. And I think they're kind of
Speaker 1: succeeding in doing that. And I'm a little worried about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know too. I think we've had we have
Speaker 1: a real problem in American media right now in terms
Speaker 1: of how we're exploring class, Like I don't know, like
Speaker 1: my favorite movie is Pretty in Pink, right, nobody's idea
Speaker 1: of like a great cinematic masterpiece. But you think about
Speaker 1: like that movie at its core is about class and
Speaker 1: about rich boy, poor girl and how that affects their relationship.
Speaker 1: And like grew up in the nineties, we had things
Speaker 1: like you know, like Roseanne or like a different world
Speaker 1: that we're sort of like delving in to class and
Speaker 1: how it affects people's lives. And we're living in this
Speaker 1: incredible moment where like a lot of folks are getting
Speaker 1: wise to the fact that the system is and has
Speaker 1: been screwing us for many, many years, And you would
Speaker 1: think that we'd be seeing more media sort of address
Speaker 1: those big classifiedes. And I think something like Squitch game
Speaker 1: shows that people have a real appetite for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're like, why aren't we making more of this,
Speaker 1: Like where is the sort of like today's Roseanne? Because like,
Speaker 1: you know, look, I think that as many like terrible
Speaker 1: conservative people as there are in the world, I think
Speaker 1: about like my dad's family, who's like, you know, a
Speaker 1: bunch of Kentucky coal miners but have voted Democrat every election,
Speaker 1: like have always leaned liberal. It's like there's nothing that
Speaker 1: represents them, Like there's nothing that sort of speaks to
Speaker 1: being like, you know, lower middle class are working poor
Speaker 1: in America right now, when that's the reality for a
Speaker 1: lot of people, and there are ways to do that
Speaker 1: that it's not like eating your vegetables and not just
Speaker 1: like social realism. I think that's why South Side is
Speaker 1: a fucking it's like almost flawless, and that these people
Speaker 1: have normal fucking jobs, and it's very centered in the
Speaker 1: fact that it's not like, hey, we made it to
Speaker 1: Hollywood and now we're famous, so now we can just
Speaker 1: write from our experience now and leave all this other
Speaker 1: ship behind. I think that's like one of the things
Speaker 1: I love about Southside is that it really you're like,
Speaker 1: oh ship, this feels very like working class and it's
Speaker 1: touching on like what what just the day to day
Speaker 1: would be, although very heightened for comedic purposes, but it's
Speaker 1: still centered in like that world rather than I think
Speaker 1: you look at most shows now it's like people who
Speaker 1: live in impossible apartments with impossible incomes and there's no
Speaker 1: real talk about it because it's about the it's about
Speaker 1: the struggle with the characters, and while also feeding people
Speaker 1: this idea, it's like, well, why aren't you rich like
Speaker 1: these people on the screen. It's the difference between like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're Most shows just take place in the world
Speaker 1: where money there. There is no financial reality, so like
Speaker 1: it might as well not have gravity, Like that's how
Speaker 1: like just oft it is. It's to pervade ace of
Speaker 1: like carry lives in like an incredible apartment and they're
Speaker 1: like Sherman Palladino shows like her shows are like that too,
Speaker 1: or I'm like, I'm sorry, does she where's the childcare
Speaker 1: for this woman's kids? If she's out doing open mics,
Speaker 1: Like where's that discussion? But the like shows like Atlanta
Speaker 1: and Squid Game like feel you know, revolutionary just by
Speaker 1: being like no money is the thing. People need it
Speaker 1: to survive and that is a central conflict of their lives.
Speaker 1: And I think that goes to say, start empowering creators
Speaker 1: writers who like are coming drawing from that experience rather
Speaker 1: than like I feel like so many people now are
Speaker 1: get in the habit of like, Okay, well this is
Speaker 1: what's popping in the industry. This is what I'll try
Speaker 1: and do on spec or whatever, rather than like creating
Speaker 1: more momentum and say like, hey, your story about being
Speaker 1: a fucking janitor or whatever. That's valid and guess what
Speaker 1: more people do what you do than are Kendall roy
Speaker 1: so well need escapism, Like I'm not arguing that, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine, all that stuff can remain. We just need
Speaker 1: more of the other side, more of the like counterweight,
Speaker 1: because yeah, I think a lot of people would appreciate
Speaker 1: like more sitcoms, more movies that are like speaking to
Speaker 1: some actual real problem ship then like you know, another
Speaker 1: another superhero origin story. You know, it may just be
Speaker 1: like sort of at this moment where they the they
Speaker 1: have people have to be aware of the level of
Speaker 1: class consciousness that's existing in the content because it tends
Speaker 1: to have a really potent effect on somebody watching. Like
Speaker 1: Squid Game, people went, damn, that's just wild. They got
Speaker 1: killed over red light, green light, And then by the
Speaker 1: third episode people were like, comrade, I am ready to
Speaker 1: bring the capitalist system down because it connects these things
Speaker 1: in a very real way. And I think and if
Speaker 1: I was some you know, whatever, if they're if the
Speaker 1: Illuminati exists type person the people who are like looking
Speaker 1: at what is happening in the world. You'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: content like that actually has a lot of communicative power.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, will will we invest in that? I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope we do, because more squid games please, we
Speaker 1: need it. Left squid Game parties hosted by Chrissy Tag
Speaker 1: I'm just completely missing the point. It's like, yeah, so
Speaker 1: fun dying in this capitalist how whole, What a great
Speaker 1: time with my girls. Let's plays for your organs. We'll
Speaker 1: have real poor people at my party. Yeah, they're gonna
