Speaker 1: them when I leave the house sometimes, which is yeah,
Speaker 1: stuff them in pockets of everything now yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do the thing where yeah, down the stream, like fuck,
Speaker 1: I gotta turn around and get That's the problem with
Speaker 1: disposable masks is like I'll find them and they could
Speaker 1: be like from when I had a cold nine months ago,
Speaker 1: but they're like in the pocket of take that chance.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Yeah, you just gotta roll with it. And then
Speaker 1: you smell it and you're like, oh yeah, coffee and
Speaker 1: frickles combo. All right, Molly, We're going to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We are going to talk about the new
Speaker 1: mask off c DC advisement. They came out with it
Speaker 1: then to last week, which is out of step with
Speaker 1: most epidemiologists, like eight percent that were consulted by the
Speaker 1: New York Times thought that people should be wearing masks indoors,
Speaker 1: no matter whether they were vaccinated or not, for the
Speaker 1: next year. The CDC was like, nah, no, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: wants us to be throating glyzzies by July four, can
Speaker 1: have masks on you? You can't do that with a
Speaker 1: mask on. We're gonna check in with the world of bosses, uh,
Speaker 1: and just like kind of catch up on what there.
Speaker 1: You know, we haven't been seeing our bosses as much lately.
Speaker 1: We don't necessarily know what the lingo is. The worldview is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the worldview. So we're gonna find out catch up with
Speaker 1: their lexicon of like lazy workers and the pandemic is over,
Speaker 1: nobody wants to work anymore. So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the future of advertising just invading your
Speaker 1: car courtesy Afford. We'll talk about just another facet of
Speaker 1: the New York Times attempt to cover gaza in a
Speaker 1: both sides the manner and just how transparent that is.
Speaker 1: The new Space Race uh, starring Tom Cruise. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about cats as rat killers, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Molly, we like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history. That is revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are. Wow. I am obsessed with these Twitter
Speaker 1: accounts that just post a Google photo of every address
Speaker 1: in the city. So the one that I look at
Speaker 1: constantly is every Lot l A, which is just a
Speaker 1: picture of every lot in l A. But there's also
Speaker 1: every lot Chicago, every lot in New York. I follow
Speaker 1: them all. I don't understand what, what does it do?
Speaker 1: It just posts. It's just a bot and that is
Speaker 1: programmed to post a picture of like every address wanted.
Speaker 1: It like a picture of every Google Maps shot of
Speaker 1: every building. It's like every building in every city. It's
Speaker 1: wild because the Laurel Canyon and I'm like, yo, what
Speaker 1: the fun? Yeah, last night I was looking at it
Speaker 1: because they're on Victory Boulevard and it's just like a
Speaker 1: stretch of Victory Boulevard. I love. So I was just
Speaker 1: like Victory, we love it. Just oh ship, that's a
Speaker 1: Victory right there about a North Hollywoul shootout. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: my old elementary school right there. Yeah. And I just
Speaker 1: I love the account and I love that it's a
Speaker 1: bot because I just like, well wait, it posts every
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. I'll be like, oh man, only eight more
Speaker 1: minutes until we get another every lot post. Now, this
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing just thinking with my n
Speaker 1: f T brain. Here you can pile all of those
Speaker 1: into a single uh file and then uh you can
Speaker 1: add an n f T and sell that for well,
Speaker 1: you can get that real estate speculation going on. Just
Speaker 1: pictures of real estate. Yeah, it's a fucking no brain
Speaker 1: or molly, I mean decentraland kind of like that. This
Speaker 1: is dope, though, this is really cool. It's just we
Speaker 1: It's like it's a bizarre account, you know, because this
Speaker 1: is essentially like if you've ever just they're just clipping
Speaker 1: out these street view things and giving you the address.
Speaker 1: But it is I find myself it's weird because the
Speaker 1: specific part of the city they're in right now is
Speaker 1: a part where I've I know very intimately, so that
Speaker 1: they caught me at a good moment on every lot
Speaker 1: right now, we're in a good stretch. Yeah, it gives
Speaker 1: you a unfettered view of the like even my memory,
Speaker 1: I like remember the stores that are open. I don't
Speaker 1: remember how many of the stores are boarded up, but
Speaker 1: it's like nine tenths boarded up stores on here. Well,
Speaker 1: there's this well, right now where they're at, like in
Speaker 1: North Hollywood, is this old business park that has just died.
Speaker 1: It's actually they shot the opening of What's What's the
Speaker 1: Marvel movie? Mrs Mark, What's the Captain Marvel? Captain Marvel Marvel?
Speaker 1: Where she touched down in that blockbuster that's in that
Speaker 1: same business park, abandoned business park in North Hollywood where
Speaker 1: the Goals gym is and all this other ship and
Speaker 1: that thing has just been dying over the last thirty years.
Speaker 1: So it was kind of a bummer part of it.
Speaker 1: Right now it rules. That's awesome. Also, the Sizzler you
Speaker 1: might see that image first first, that one right there.
Speaker 1: Ye ye, Sizzler wasn't big deal where I lived at
Speaker 1: the at the time that I first saw white men
Speaker 1: Can't Jump, But when they like, it was a legendary
Speaker 1: eating establishment in my mind because of that movie, because
Speaker 1: of the We're going to Sizzler celebration. Uh. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Mine? I'm gonna say overrated
Speaker 1: h R. High waste jeans, underrated low waste jeans. One
Speaker 1: thing I've noticed since being back in stores is that
Speaker 1: everything is super high waisted right now, which, uh is
Speaker 1: what gen Z loves. But to me, it reminds me
Speaker 1: of like the late eighties early nineties, like Seinfeld jeans.
Speaker 1: You know, I think you've got to be really young
Speaker 1: and tall for that to look good at all, right,
Speaker 1: And people really don't want low res jeans to come
Speaker 1: back because some people have bad memories of that. But
Speaker 1: I I'm ready. I think it's I think it's coming.
Speaker 1: Where the distance between like the crotch and the waistband
Speaker 1: was like three inches. Well, I was saying, like benefers back,
Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, I saw you post the Manola
Speaker 1: Blonic Tim's are coming back. And if that's coming back,
Speaker 1: you know we're we're going to get the the crotch
Speaker 1: grazing pants are coming back, absolutely, and we got to
Speaker 1: have the those like gradient sunglasses with the little biddul
Speaker 1: those little Gucci shades from back in the day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I went from being like, oh no, the
Speaker 1: two thousands fashion is coming back to be like, you
Speaker 1: know what, the bright I'll take the good like some
Speaker 1: of them. Honestly waiting for the moment I go of
Speaker 1: my mom's house and I just pull up some old
Speaker 1: ship that I have and I'm like killing it. They're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy just came out of two
Speaker 1: thousand five. They're like, is that the rock right that?
Speaker 1: Miles Rocky Gray? Is that a backup dancer from a
Speaker 1: one twelve video? Is that the one twelve CD? That
Speaker 1: was the only music in Molly's Problem limo. So we
Speaker 1: just listened to Peaches and Cream as that by choice
Speaker 1: or that was just what the driver was bringing. It
Speaker 1: was literally there was one CD and uh it was that.
Speaker 1: And I was the really excited person who was like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's listen to that. That was the most exciting part
Speaker 1: of Problem for me. It was listening to one twelve
Speaker 1: in a limo with like led lights in it. That
Speaker 1: album was fired though, you know what I mean, it's
Speaker 1: over now Peaches and Cream dance with me? The little thing,
Speaker 1: a little intro in the video. It's like keeping and
Speaker 1: now I want you to get close to me so
Speaker 1: much to dance with me, dance with medp Top and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you back to and the one
Speaker 1: twelve The intro had come on the dead wrongbeat from
Speaker 1: Big Unit Bomb Dump, and then they would be then
Speaker 1: Slim would come in and sing. It was what a
Speaker 1: good time we were in huh. I will never of
Speaker 1: the world unitedn't even know. I will never see a
Speaker 1: room one twelve in a hotel or an apartment building
Speaker 1: without thinking that's where the players walk right there, Millennial
Speaker 1: Dad jokes, that's the ship. Then they're gonna say, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, kids, you know what's going on
Speaker 1: in there? That's where the players dwell ask more cast perfect.
Speaker 1: They'll in helle make you feel good, like Tony Tony
Speaker 1: tone like what is he doing the whole verse? It
Speaker 1: feels good good. I feel like an underrated thing is
Speaker 1: Diddy's ad libs in the background to tracks. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Speaking of people who can't sing, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've heard, like people like shady Engineers have just taken
Speaker 1: his acapella him singing vocals and like those were like
Speaker 1: leaked before and it sounds like a like a dying
Speaker 1: cat whining at a karaoke night. Come on, I don't
Speaker 1: know why. After I really put my back into, uh,
Speaker 1: the it feels good thing you had to say speaking
Speaker 1: of people who can't sing, Miles, that was like not
Speaker 1: even subtly fuck up, man, that was I put my
Speaker 1: heart into that, put myself out there. My bad my bad,
Speaker 1: my bad space and I didn't. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and we're just looking at the uh Ben Garrison woke
Speaker 1: Disney World. Just you know, people have to have only
Speaker 1: vaccinated people. Get in, you're gonna get on the pronoun train.
Speaker 1: You're going to the Black Lives Matter worn it's all
Speaker 1: of this, like Black Lives Matter terrible comedy, comic comedy.
Speaker 1: What do you call this? Just hate propaganda whatever nonsense. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's called comedy. All right, let's talk about the new
Speaker 1: mask off c DC advisement people. People were accusing them
Speaker 1: of being too cautious, mainly like right wing people from Texas,
Speaker 1: And now they're like, I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: good example of the sort of mainstream reacting only to
Speaker 1: like people who don't believe in science. Because so basically,
Speaker 1: they said on Thursday, last Thursday, that fully vaccinated Americans
Speaker 1: no longer need to wear masks in most places, and
Speaker 1: The New York Times writes that that came as a
Speaker 1: surprise to many people in public health. Uh In an
Speaker 1: informal survey, eighty percent said they thought Americans would need
Speaker 1: And these are people These are epidemiologists, not just people.
Speaker 1: It's not like family feud. Of epidemiologists said they thought
Speaker 1: Americans would need to wear masks in public indoor places
Speaker 1: for at least another year. Just five percent said people
Speaker 1: would no longer need to wear masks indoors by this summer,
Speaker 1: and the CDC was like, yeah, we're good, we'll go
Speaker 1: with the five percent. And yeah, I mean, it seems
Speaker 1: like they're trying to make it look fun to be vaccinated,
Speaker 1: which I get, but I also don't think it's good
Speaker 1: to like betray the science in order to appeal to
Speaker 1: the people who don't believe in science, or just create
Speaker 1: a sentiment that like you can exhale right now literally
Speaker 1: without a mask. Yeah, you know, like this idea that
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, like because you know, the motherfucker's who
Speaker 1: aren't getting vaccinated are gonna be like, oh shit, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Like if somebody asked someone just say I'm vaccinated, that's right,
Speaker 1: like that the scumbagging you is going to think that
Speaker 1: immediately You're like, okay, So if they're they must have
Speaker 1: factored in what it could mean for people who don't
Speaker 1: give a ship. That's just very That's what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: even when we're talking on the Trends episode about this happening,
Speaker 1: like even though how much like sure, you may not
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask, but just in general there's
Speaker 1: a feeling of uncertainty still with the pandemic that wearing
Speaker 1: a mask still can communicate outwardly that you're like, you
Speaker 1: know whatever, I'm just not working around it's it's all good.
Speaker 1: CBC said, fuck it, yeah, literally party time. Oh they said,
Speaker 1: we don't care. It's just uh, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: who who this helps exactly, And I don't think like
Speaker 1: to the point of it maybe being like incentivizing incentive
Speaker 1: vising vaccination, Like I don't think it's supposed to incentivise vaccination,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of people have pointed out it
Speaker 1: just means that a lot of people will stop wearing
Speaker 1: masks and yet being vaccinated. That's all this, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then if you have no way to verify then this
Speaker 1: is really nothing. But okay, Plus if you if you
Speaker 1: didn't get them with the shake Chack crinkle cut fries,
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't gonna do it. You know, did
Speaker 1: you watch that video I said yesterday about the when
Speaker 1: the Lazio was actually breaking it down for people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a nightmarish and he's just eating them. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: and then these rise. I mean, these are so good.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Wow, maybe vaccination is good because I'm eating
Speaker 1: these fries. Like what Yeah, that didn't make it okay? Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: they should have just said get vaccinated and we'll give
Speaker 1: you crinkly fries. Right then, get vaccinated and with an
Speaker 1: eligible purchase. It's like, come on, man, these asterisks by
Speaker 1: this fucking simple asks the only way the Democrats know
Speaker 1: how to do ship many they still means testing the
Speaker 1: You can get employment benefits if you prove that you
Speaker 1: didn't say no to a job. How old fund are
Speaker 1: you going to prove that? And then you can get
Speaker 1: these free fries if you come in with like paperwork,
Speaker 1: with a file that proves that you got vaccinated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but shout out to build a Blasio for looking like
Speaker 1: he knows how to eat French fries. Did it was
Speaker 1: very like a rich person eating fries type of thing.
Speaker 1: He thought it was amazing. Yeah, yeah, he's like, I
Speaker 1: remember you usually eat these when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: exactly like he hasn't had a French friend decades and
Speaker 1: he had to ask his health. He had like a
Speaker 1: health consultant on hand who he was like, am I
Speaker 1: allowed to you to a burger before before noon? He says,
Speaker 1: It's okay, so you don't eat at these chain places,
Speaker 1: but this isn't bad. Well. Another another group that is
Speaker 1: probably going to be excited to hear that they can
Speaker 1: officially announce that the pandemic is over are the bosses,
Speaker 1: the people who stand on the side of corporate interests
Speaker 1: and capital. You know. They they've had their concerns about
Speaker 1: how this pandemic thing is going to affect the workers.
Speaker 1: The workers are just too used to having it good.
Speaker 1: I think, is there read on the situation. It's it's
Speaker 1: a panic for this group because there's a couple of
Speaker 1: things going on. First is more subtle, right, it's like
Speaker 1: a rhetorical thing that I seem to be very reading
Speaker 1: all over the place, whether it's an op eds or
Speaker 1: fucking communications emails, whatever, that there's talk that suggest that
Speaker 1: we are out of the pandemic or things that are
Speaker 1: people saying like as we move out of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I'm first of all, like, huh, the pandemic is not over,
Speaker 1: So why are we even talking like this framing that
Speaker 1: has begun from this group of people, which is very interesting,
Speaker 1: And first of all, like we already know as people
Speaker 1: were past this point of you know, thinking of herd
Speaker 1: immunity as we thought, or we could reach these numbers
Speaker 1: of people getting vaccinated, but it's too many people that
Speaker 1: are anti vax. So we're not gonna meaningfully get this
Speaker 1: disease under control anytime soon. Like yeah, maybe less devastating,
Speaker 1: but to say that we have it under control is
Speaker 1: I I just a complete misnomer. And I think people
Speaker 1: that they don't realize people are going to continue to
Speaker 1: work with this cloud hanging over of that. It's still
Speaker 1: the most people still believe that we are not out
Speaker 1: of the woods, that things aren't just so chill already,
Speaker 1: Like that's not the case. More than likely people know
Speaker 1: someone whose lives have been affected adversely from COVID, whether
Speaker 1: it's a loss of life or just you know, long
Speaker 1: COVID or whatever being out of work. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of trauma that remains from just this idea, like this
Speaker 1: entire last year. And this also goes along with the
Speaker 1: stat that you just see how insulated the wealthy are
Speaker 1: you know, because from the start of the pandemic through
Speaker 1: whether it was their health or their wealth, they were
Speaker 1: not experiencing the pandemic in the same way their employees work.
Speaker 1: I'd imagine unless these are people who are living in
Speaker 1: the exact same way that you know and a worker
Speaker 1: is so because they're not in the same psycho emotional
Speaker 1: environment as their workers, their perspective is so distorted that maybe,
Speaker 1: like these people might be ready to go back to work,
Speaker 1: but many people are still living in a world that
Speaker 1: is still so uncertain and volatile that they aren't even
Speaker 1: necessarily at that point where they can even process what
Speaker 1: has or is happening. And to have on top of
Speaker 1: that this like push to be like, alright, guys, that
Speaker 1: was something harm there. We got our vaccines. I think
Speaker 1: everybody is ready to get back to work, you know,
Speaker 1: and do all this. I think it's just the real
Speaker 1: big disconnect between these two groups. And then that bleeds
Speaker 1: into this whole. There was resurgence of welfare queen two
Speaker 1: point oh, which is all these signs we've been seeing
Speaker 1: up where people are saying nobody wants to work for
Speaker 1: fart dust anymore. So we got to close and this
Speaker 1: is now creating this bullshit perception that people have become
Speaker 1: so lazy because of stimulus checks that they refused to
Speaker 1: work and it's hurting business and it's total bullshit. I
Speaker 1: just want to point the US Chamber of Commerce, the
Speaker 1: fucking group that is fully on, you know, the boss gang.
Speaker 1: They put out a study that's saying that the additional
Speaker 1: of pandemic benefits QUI results in approximately one in four
Speaker 1: recipients taking home more in unemployment then they earned working
Speaker 1: and they use that to sort of underline the motivation
Speaker 1: of someone or to to create the rational rationalization of
Speaker 1: someone who would refuse work. But hey, assholes, that's a
Speaker 1: fucking indictment. Wages you pay funck with. It's like saying like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got it so good. If the government is there
Speaker 1: that their baseline of help is better than the wages
Speaker 1: you're paying, you have a serious fucking problem. And I
Speaker 1: think they don't like that. This sort of weird, this
Speaker 1: organic sort of movement of people being like, yeah, our
Speaker 1: subsubsistence wages good, No, I don't want them. That's also
Speaker 1: affecting this whole thing. And now we have politicians and
Speaker 1: the media willing to take this lie of like, oh,
Speaker 1: the stimulus is so good that now we're hearing things
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden be like, ye, well maybe we need
Speaker 1: to fuk we gotta do all this means testing, and
Speaker 1: it's all born out of this nonsense. Yeah, the the
Speaker 1: emergency food rations are so good, they're not going to
Speaker 1: go back to the slop that we're feeding them. Guys,
Speaker 1: that's this is bullshit. But we need to stop feeding
Speaker 1: them emergency food rations, is the logic there. There's just
Speaker 1: not even an actual acknowledgement of the other barriers that
Speaker 1: someone might have to go back. It's not just that, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I like the stimulus better because the pandemic is not over.
Speaker 1: There's things like childcare or having to take care of
Speaker 1: family members and other things I would say, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't leave my house to go work right now,
Speaker 1: like the pandemic has effect and all these other things
Speaker 1: in my life that's still I'm it's better for me
Speaker 1: to take this option because there's no other help available.
Speaker 1: But these are all things that are missed in this
Speaker 1: really disingenuous analysis of like, god, there's so many jobs
Speaker 1: when nobody wants to work. What the fox is happening?
Speaker 1: Because they want to go back to normal, which is
Speaker 1: the you know, the threat of poverty or the threat
Speaker 1: of being unhoused and dying because you have no money,
Speaker 1: is the way they can keep people to, you know,
Speaker 1: take these wages. And that's really what this is. Just
Speaker 1: feels like they just want to get back to this
Speaker 1: power dynamic that they feel that they're probably slowly losing
Speaker 1: their grip on. Is people are like, fucking I'm not working.
Speaker 1: You see, Chipotle and McDonald's were like, Okay, we're reconsidering
Speaker 1: our wages now because we realized that maybe that's a
Speaker 1: thing that is holding people back. Yeah, just and just
Speaker 1: like kind of connecting the so the means testing thing
Speaker 1: that was being discussed by the Biden administration I think
Speaker 1: proposed was that if you said no to a job
Speaker 1: that you had before the pandemic, if you said no
Speaker 1: to or like as some level job, then you couldn't
Speaker 1: get your unemployment benefits. And so like specifically the person
Speaker 1: you're talking about whose kids still has to go to
Speaker 1: school from home, who you know needs child care help, uh,
Speaker 1: and therefore can't go back to work right now, like
Speaker 1: they would not be eligible for unemployment benefits. And then
Speaker 1: now you're now this person has to take care of
Speaker 1: other people is now put into a further state of desperation.
Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, for all of the like
Speaker 1: the the nice ship that we thought was going to
Speaker 1: come out of this, we're also seeing how much the
Speaker 1: forces you know of of this system or like trying
Speaker 1: to really snap it right back together to where it
Speaker 1: was with a very minimal change. They're like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: all go back to work and forget about that. You
Speaker 1: could live not in fear of getting evicted constantly, right,
Speaker 1: Oh god, don't. We don't want that. We don't want
Speaker 1: people to get in touch with their worth, you know,
Speaker 1: because that's the other thing too. People are like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck you're gonna pay me this? On top of again,
Speaker 1: the pandemic is not over. You talk to people in
Speaker 1: the service and like a restaurant industry, they're like, the
Speaker 1: amount of people who come in reckless, it's wild to me, Like,
Speaker 1: and it's another area of stress. People who have been
Speaker 1: like line cooks, have suffered tremendously through the pandemic because
Speaker 1: of things like this. On top of it, we still
Speaker 1: have all the sort of forces that are set up
Speaker 1: by the government to say that Hey, there's no legal
Speaker 1: liability for an employer if they force you to work
Speaker 1: and you get sick as something bad happens to you.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna we're not gonna put them on the
Speaker 1: hook for that. So how the funk is someone going
Speaker 1: to look at this situation say this is exactly what
Speaker 1: I want and not actually addressed like what the real
Speaker 1: needs are and all of the ills that have been
Speaker 1: just just fully exposed, like if you were trying to
Speaker 1: hide from it, it's really hard to do it now
Speaker 1: and still not wanting to do something meaningful, but the
Speaker 1: childcare thing in particular, I just wanted to like kind
Speaker 1: of circle back to that because there's been a number
Speaker 1: of studies on like the educational gap that happens between
Speaker 1: lower income families and people who you know, make a
Speaker 1: livable wage and only have to work one job. And
Speaker 1: the education gap that happens is almost exclusively from at
Speaker 1: home stuff because the parents have to be working around
Speaker 1: the clock, like to to make enough money just to
Speaker 1: like feed their family, and so the kids are left
Speaker 1: to fend for themselves. So like that, like child care
Speaker 1: is such a such a crucial part of this like
Speaker 1: cycle of you know, just trying to keep people who
Speaker 1: are poor poor and like keep generationally like withhold opportunities.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's a crucial lynchpin of of that whole cycle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like keep Well, they're noticing that we're spending
Speaker 1: all this money on like military stuff, that we could
Speaker 1: be spending on free healthcare and childcare for people. And
Speaker 1: people would actually be better employees if they weren't constantly
Speaker 1: stressed about their kids and uh, like we said, paying
Speaker 1: rent and stuff like that, it would actually make them
Speaker 1: better at at jobs and want to work more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's why every other civilized nation does that, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But then big big childcare gets too powerful, and you
Speaker 1: don't want them getting more powerful than big military industrial complex.
Speaker 1: You don't want like the education stealth care world to
Speaker 1: get too powerful. You gotta keep you gotta keep the
Speaker 1: power in the hands of the weapons manufacturers, the people
Speaker 1: who make tanks for our police. Like, think about who
Speaker 1: has the power and the money in our world. It's
Speaker 1: in in America, it's the weapons makers. And the people
Speaker 1: who don't are like teachers get ship and get like
Speaker 1: thrown under the bus if they ask for money. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: these fucking teachers. Unions are screwing your kids over. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the whole system is designed to make people
Speaker 1: who make weapons rich, you dumb fuck Like what how
Speaker 1: is that a healthy way to run a culture. We'll
Speaker 1: find out, boy, is it profitable? We'll find out after
Speaker 1: this decade, after this decade, after this devastating decade. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to see, like where it all ends up,
Speaker 1: because yeah, to the point of these military buzzs, like
Speaker 1: why are we spending seven hundred plus billion on just
Speaker 1: cocking our fist back at the rest of the world,
Speaker 1: because our money is not based on much but except
Speaker 1: the threat of this fit cock fits to be, Like
Speaker 1: what're you gonna do? Stop using this as a global
Speaker 1: trade currency for petroleum? Oh? Dare you? But because of this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're completely overleveraged on this fucking stupid military industrial complex.
Speaker 1: And on top of it, Yeah, like we're we were
Speaker 1: asking ourselves questions like how are we going to pay
Speaker 1: to support single parents? How are we going to pay
Speaker 1: to educate these people? How are we gonna pay for
Speaker 1: better outcomes in our cities for people who need, who
Speaker 1: have lacked or suffering from a lack of access because
Speaker 1: we're looking at almost I mean, whatever, that's everything I
Speaker 1: think until that is more normal, especially like the new
Speaker 1: like normal news where the everyday person will start hearing
Speaker 1: some ship like that. It's it's, oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like some ship activists are only saying, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: just when when the conversation about defunding the police came
Speaker 1: up and you saw the portion of the city budget
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and you know all big cities that
Speaker 1: goes to the police force, and then like just the
Speaker 1: fucking tantrum that the police throw if you talk about
Speaker 1: like instead of buying an extra helicopter with gun turrets
Speaker 1: on it, if you like, you know, give free preschool
Speaker 1: to people, like it's a it's a complete disaster. Whereas
Speaker 1: when they raised the budget on what this military police
Speaker 1: force gets, it doesn't even register. It's not even a
Speaker 1: thing that would be reported on. Gotta have weird helicopters
Speaker 1: to fly twenty four hours a day over the city
Speaker 1: to harass people. I mean, it is helpful because it
Speaker 1: educates my kids on halo helicopter. They have learned that
Speaker 1: pretty well. All right, let's talk about what Ford's Ford
Speaker 1: is designing our future for us. This is what happens
Speaker 1: when you let a corporation kind of sit back and
Speaker 1: design the future. Yeah, the main distributor of the Protocols
Speaker 1: of the Elders of Zion. Look, look what road this
Speaker 1: motor come and he went down. Now there are people
Speaker 1: know that. I'm sure we've mentioned it before, but Henry
Speaker 1: Ford was putting out the Protocols of the Elders of
Speaker 1: Zion like this man, like one of the most influential
Speaker 1: anti Semitic conspiracy theory texts. He was like putting it
Speaker 1: out in people's glove boxes, and he put it in
Speaker 1: American schools, but he paid for it to be taught
Speaker 1: in school, created his own newspaper so he could publish it.
Speaker 1: It had been debunked like a hundred times already by that,
Speaker 1: and it's fake in other newspapers. Henry Ford said, who cares. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like, now you gotta you gotta hear this stuff though,
Speaker 1: Hitler head Henry Ford's uh photograph on like on the
Speaker 1: wall behind his desk, Like that's literally true. I'll say it.
Speaker 1: I'll say it. Knock cars here, you go, fuck them,
Speaker 1: fuck these cars, And honestly After this, I'm like, are
Speaker 1: they trying to do so billboards? Right? Who gives a
Speaker 1: funk about him? Unless it's Angeline obviously, shout out to Angeline,
Speaker 1: the billboard goat of Los Angeles, Queen, the Queen, the Queen,
Speaker 1: the Queen Angeline. But it seems like the billboard industry
Speaker 1: realizes that people just you know, obviously, it's such a
Speaker 1: passive form of advertising that you hardly notice them unless
Speaker 1: you know someone's like tagged on it or something or
Speaker 1: funked it up in a way that makes it worth
Speaker 1: looking at. So Ford is going to make us give
Speaker 1: a ship because a patent has come out that they
Speaker 1: are creating a new system that uses like the vehicles
Speaker 1: cameras that are used for like you know, auto fucking
Speaker 1: pilot or just just general safety stuff that these cameras
Speaker 1: used to now detect billboards then pull them up in
Speaker 1: a car's entertainment display so you can have in vehicle advertisements.
Speaker 1: So like imagine drive by an Arby's thing, and then
Speaker 1: the ship pops up with like a hyperlink, so you
Speaker 1: could either be like navigate to Arby's or like call
Speaker 1: them up or whatever, or like here's a fun can
Speaker 1: coupon or some ship and you will be just basically bombarded.
Speaker 1: Right now, they're saying it's experimental, but knowing how consumer
Speaker 1: capitalism works, this feels like a fucking certainty. And this
Speaker 1: gives Moto article. They raised an interesting point about the
Speaker 1: degree to which this will be inescapable because kindles like
Speaker 1: Amazon Kindles became there's a cheap version because they have
Speaker 1: all these passive ads running on it constantly, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's subsidized to add support. And they're saying, so
Speaker 1: are we looking at a world where like you can
Speaker 1: get like the ad supported forward Focus or the premium
Speaker 1: AD free version of absolutely yeah, yeah, And I mean
Speaker 1: it will make the car more affordable, but it'll be
Speaker 1: yet another subtle way that agency and like free free
Speaker 1: will is taken away from people who can't afford it
Speaker 1: in this country. I'm just imagining all the billboards it's
Speaker 1: gonna let you see, are going to be the ones
Speaker 1: from Day Live that are like, reproduce, marry and reproduce,
Speaker 1: and work at your job and do not ask for
Speaker 1: healthcare or child care. Obey you must obey. I yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna start taking shots like you know,
Speaker 1: people they're gonna be tweets like just my tender day
Speaker 1: picked me up in the AS supported CenTra. The day
Speaker 1: was over the second I got in, like this whole
Speaker 1: other have and have not saying of people, are we
Speaker 1: going to be like again? The other thing is will
Speaker 1: it even be cheaper or it's just going to be
Speaker 1: a perceived difference that you can just charge a premium
Speaker 1: now for the AD non the AD free car if
Speaker 1: you know it'll be cheaper. Yeah, it'll be the difference
Speaker 1: between the Hulu where you pay for the AD free
Speaker 1: version and the Hulu where you pay for that. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean to say is that like, will
Speaker 1: it actually be subsidizing where like they'll actually like, you know,
Speaker 1: the the AD supported version maybe cheaper than to ADD
Speaker 1: free version, but it actually functionally cheaper than before we
Speaker 1: had AD free or AD supported cars, right, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, it would just charge the same
Speaker 1: for the one that's add and if you're balling, you
Speaker 1: get the AD free version of the turso Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet I bet it will because in the same
Speaker 1: way that like we didn't realize for a decade that
Speaker 1: we weren't getting like social media for free. We were
Speaker 1: getting social media in exchange for our own free will.
Speaker 1: Like I think it's the product if it's free. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's the easiest. It's just like a very insidious,
Speaker 1: easy way for them to insinuate themselves and you know,
Speaker 1: basically make life and like you know what needs to
Speaker 1: happen to function every day, like make it affordable, but
Speaker 1: then also like you know, just slowly by slowly take
Speaker 1: over the minds and uh, you know, decisions of of
Speaker 1: everyday life. I feel like Joe Biden's way of getting
Speaker 1: like Medicare for All is like ad supported healthcare for
Speaker 1: some Americans are like, look, if you get this ad
Speaker 1: supported health plan, then you gotta rock this United Healthcare
Speaker 1: shirt three out of five days a week. Oh so
Speaker 1: everything's just going to turn into podcasting where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you want healthcare, you got to do these ad reads.
Speaker 1: But you need to, but you need it needs to
Speaker 1: be super organic. You need to actually insert it into
Speaker 1: everyday convers the healthcare plan. Oh yeah, you gotta tell
Speaker 1: you got to use your details from your real life,
Speaker 1: and if you don't, they're gonna send it back and
Speaker 1: be like no, no, no. These are just talking points
Speaker 1: for how much you love this gas. What I wonder
Speaker 1: if that's going to be a job in the future,
Speaker 1: like every day undercover influencer who like not isn't even
Speaker 1: on social media, but it's just like going places and
Speaker 1: like doing psy ops in favor of like a product
Speaker 1: or a political perspective. Jack, I can't believe you're outing
Speaker 1: me like this on the show. All this time I've
Speaker 1: been working for, you know, Dole, You're like, Hey, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: you know, think about United fruit. I think, couldn't I
Speaker 1: use a pineapple right now? Yeah? I don't again, because
Speaker 1: that does feel I mean, we already have you know,
Speaker 1: people release the roofs of their cars to put like
Speaker 1: an ad board on it and drive around and turn them,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of going through the city or like
Speaker 1: finding ways to subsidize parts of people out there doing
Speaker 1: shit that. Yeah. I feel like pretty soon you'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you wanna you know, you come say something nice about
Speaker 1: Pacific Gas and electric fort off your electric bill. You
Speaker 1: just need to like prove it in some way. It'll
Speaker 1: probably start happening when we have the like contact lens
Speaker 1: cameras where we can just be like, all right, here's
Speaker 1: a five conversations that I had at the park today,
Speaker 1: just a costing people. But they seemed persuaded. That's like
Speaker 1: the right, and that's how they're going to pervert universal
Speaker 1: basic incomes. Like Okay, you don't have to work, but
Speaker 1: every day you have to go out there and talk
Speaker 1: about these products organically, and then come back to download
Speaker 1: all of your footage of your organic conversations, and then
Speaker 1: we will give you your nutrient credits. Uh. It seems
Speaker 1: too believable. It seems like we're pretty almost there. It's
Speaker 1: a sloppy version. Alright, just real quick when you're check
Speaker 1: in with the New York Times coverage of Gaza. So
Speaker 1: they had an article with the headline misinformation. Uh, let
Speaker 1: me just read it word for word, for y'all lies
Speaker 1: on social media inflame Israeli Palestinian conflict, misinformation has flourished
Speaker 1: on Twitter, TikTok, Facebook and other social media about the
Speaker 1: violence between Israelis and Palestinians. So, uh, I assumed, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that makes sense that during any conflict there
Speaker 1: would be misinformation on both sides. But I assumed like
Speaker 1: there there was gonna be some way that this was tilted.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, the lies being told by the Israeli side.
Speaker 1: According to the article, the lies where that Palestinians were
Speaker 1: invading Israeli settlements and knocking on doors, presumably to start
Speaker 1: killing people. The Palestinians were holding fake funerals, like there
Speaker 1: was a video of a family holding a rap body
Speaker 1: which they dropped when they hear police iron It was
Speaker 1: not from Palestine, it was from I think Jordan's and
Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with this conflict. Their videos
Speaker 1: of Palestinians firing rockets at Israel was fake from it.
Speaker 1: It was from Jordan's. Also videos of Palestinians arranging bodies
Speaker 1: for a photo shoot, so to depict it as like
Speaker 1: all of all of the claims that people are dying
Speaker 1: are made up. That was from a I think a
Speaker 1: bomb alert drill in Turkey, So basically making it seem
Speaker 1: like a Palestinians are coming to Israel to kill you
Speaker 1: and be that the damage being reported is part of
Speaker 1: like a sleight of hand smoke, a mirrors social media show.
Speaker 1: And they're saying those are lies, that those are no
Speaker 1: no that Israelis are telling to each other that are
Speaker 1: being spread are the most pervasive lines that disical lives
Speaker 1: are listed as having been shared on Israeli like Facebook
Speaker 1: and Twitter, and they're disconnected from what's happening, got it? Okay?
Speaker 1: So on the other side, they have Palestinians showing videos
Speaker 1: of Israeli's tearing their clothes and mourning, which were meant
Speaker 1: to show them faking injuries, but like it's kind of
Speaker 1: unclear what even the point of that is. And then
Speaker 1: reports that Israel was launching a ground invasion before that
Speaker 1: was confirmed, so like that tweet, Yeah, so that was
Speaker 1: actually based on a tweet by that fucking ideaf. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly, uh, if that's exactly unfair on
Speaker 1: their part or just them using the information being given out.
Speaker 1: So why would the headline be that misinformation is being
Speaker 1: used by both sides when one side is showing like
Speaker 1: confused information that is, you know, maybe true or unconfirmed,
Speaker 1: but like not it's like not weaponized, and the other
Speaker 1: side is inventing like non existent threats to justify violence
Speaker 1: against civilians and being basically a catalyst to genocide on
Speaker 1: one side, like funk all the way off. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so it's also like by doing this because the New
Speaker 1: York Times won't report the story in any other way
Speaker 1: other than like a both sides the type thing, like, well,
Speaker 1: you know there's bad stuff happening on both sides. Then
Speaker 1: it's like, but you can't believe anything you see on
Speaker 1: social media, which is the only place that people are
Speaker 1: actually like telling the truth about this in America for
Speaker 1: the most part. So yeah, just uh, just worth keeping
Speaker 1: in mind New York Times, Man, you gotta day fair
Speaker 1: and balance. We'll we'll say, we'll say every what everybody's
Speaker 1: saying and treated like the truth. Yeah, all over the place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that ship is fucking disheartening, especially when like the I
Speaker 1: d F tweet, Like, was it because they edited it?
Speaker 1: Because I know that it was retweeted out that they
Speaker 1: went from ground invasion to ground operations. Yeah, no, they
Speaker 1: they inadvertently tweeted out incorrect information, But it was from
Speaker 1: my idea. So it's not like like whereas these things
Speaker 1: that are being spread that are basically like they really
Speaker 1: if you if you paid attention to like some of
Speaker 1: the deadly panics that have been caused on Facebook, the
Speaker 1: videos of Palestinians like you know, faking deaths and videos
Speaker 1: of Palestinians invading Israeli settlements and like going door to
Speaker 1: door to kill people like that is the sort of
Speaker 1: ship that gets people killed, whereas like getting people killed, right, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: and whereas the other side of that is like so
Speaker 1: diffuse and like not really specific enough to really understand
Speaker 1: what and then the other one is just like a
Speaker 1: genuine error that a lot of people made because because
Speaker 1: of like misinformation coming from again the Israeli side. So
Speaker 1: you know, hey man, you know, just just Western media
Speaker 1: is gonna do his thing. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise in space, and we're back. So there was a
Speaker 1: story at the end of last week that Russia is
Speaker 1: going to try and beat Tom Cruise to space with
Speaker 1: a movie of its own filmed on the International Space Station,
Speaker 1: I believe, and they're going to try and get it
Speaker 1: done by October, which is also when Tom Cruise was
Speaker 1: planning to make his movie with Elon Musk and the
Speaker 1: director of Lived I repeat a k Edge of Tomorrow
Speaker 1: I think is who's making it with him. So jam
Speaker 1: our writer pointed out that there's somebody like tried to
Speaker 1: make a movie in space before on the International Space Station,
Speaker 1: and it like sucks because you know, they just tried
Speaker 1: to make it by themselves, because it's expensive to get
Speaker 1: a single person to space, let alone like an entire
Speaker 1: film crew. And the person who tried to make a
Speaker 1: movie has talked about how like you can't move fast
Speaker 1: enough to like make anything look cool or like do anything.
Speaker 1: It's just all slow and deliberate actions, and that it
Speaker 1: just like doesn't make any sense. I mean, have they
Speaker 1: seen gravity, Like gravity looked fucking cool. They didn't have
Speaker 1: to go to space, like we've conquered the This is
Speaker 1: what it would look like if you were actually in space.
Speaker 1: We don't actually need you to be slowly moving through
Speaker 1: actual space in a way that makes your movie more boring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like green screens can do all the stuff.
Speaker 1: Now we don't have to go to the sea, man.
Speaker 1: We can put the green screen up and we can
Speaker 1: be anywhere, man, Yeah, we can be anywhere. It was
Speaker 1: wild when like they killed all those actors to film
Speaker 1: Aquaman underwater. Just terrible stunt. You know, James Cameron almost
Speaker 1: killed a lot of people filming the Abyss and that
Speaker 1: none of those people ever yeah, because they filmed their
Speaker 1: underwater for real, And James Cameron is like obsessed with
Speaker 1: almost killing actors underwater. Yeah, yeah, that was. The stories
Speaker 1: about the Abyss are so fuck up, like because it
Speaker 1: was like the the stuff that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate
Speaker 1: wins Let like talk about on The Titanic was like
Speaker 1: him after he had like figured out how far you
Speaker 1: can put the line, but the Abyss like legitimately he
Speaker 1: almost killed people like stars because they were like underwater
Speaker 1: and yeah, because they were legitimately underwater and filming underwater
Speaker 1: and like enclosed spaces. Yeah, we could go wrong. My man,
Speaker 1: the the amateur like underwater man who's like because didn't
Speaker 1: he have to dive? He like developed technology even for
Speaker 1: that film, didn't he Like, because he's so like hell
Speaker 1: bent on this stuff. It's like whether it's Titanic or
Speaker 1: this other things, like, you know, I'll figure it out. Though.
Speaker 1: The other reason I don't. I don't trust this is
Speaker 1: because it's not James Cameron. Like, if it was James
Speaker 1: Cameron on this, I'd be like, oh, he's probably figured
Speaker 1: something out and it's gonna we're all gonna be like
Speaker 1: skeptical and think it's gonna look like ship and then
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cool. But he just like he'll kill
Speaker 1: somebody in space because that's his kids. He yeah, he's
Speaker 1: probably on some level he's just like get their body
Speaker 1: just floating out there like a rag doll. Anyways, uh
Speaker 1: So I wanted to put all this into context, Like
Speaker 1: if it were anyone else like kind of pushing for
Speaker 1: this movie to be made, I would be confused. But
Speaker 1: so it's Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise has a history
Speaker 1: of like basically setting up really expensive shoots in order
Speaker 1: to let him do something that he clearly like just
Speaker 1: wants to do because it like appeals, it makes him
Speaker 1: feel alive. He wants to die making a movie because
Speaker 1: he's the ultimate performer. If he's gonna die, it's going
Speaker 1: to be doing a stunt. And I'm shocked he hasn't
Speaker 1: gotten more hurt doing stunts. Permission impossible because he's always
Speaker 1: like I must do this motorcycle jump over the Grand
Speaker 1: Canyon myself. At least Jackie Chan will get injured, right
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that guy was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know that's something like is Tom Cruise cursed?
Speaker 1: Like that's how he's trying to end his life. No,
Speaker 1: I think he's just like he's insane. He's gotta he's
Speaker 1: gotta get stronger and more powerful until he dies. And
Speaker 1: jack Chan, I think it's like it's a movie. I
Speaker 1: got it home. Jackie Chan is like, I'm actually legitimately
Speaker 1: the only person who can do the thing, So I
Speaker 1: have to do these things and I keep getting hurt.
Speaker 1: But like Jackie Chan is a human magic trick, Like
Speaker 1: like somebody I read an interview that's great questioning and
Speaker 1: you cast them off. How many times do we have
Speaker 1: to go over this superhuman activity? And I can't even
Speaker 1: do a back flip, but I want to. I want
Speaker 1: to tell this anecdote that I learned when writing about
Speaker 1: like the most expensive shots in movie history. So for
Speaker 1: a long time, the most expensive shot in movie history
Speaker 1: was the scene in Vanilla Sky where Tom Cruise sprints
Speaker 1: through an empty Times Square. And you might have assumed
Speaker 1: that that was done with green screen. Uh no, they
Speaker 1: had to literally block off traffic and empty Times Square
Speaker 1: to get that shot. And if you remember that movie,
Speaker 1: which you might not because it's a very um some
Speaker 1: of us do remember it in great detail. Do you
Speaker 1: love Vanilla Sky? I mean I respect its insanity. And
Speaker 1: also when the pandemic first hit and I was sometimes
Speaker 1: watching a live cam of emptied out Times Square. Obviously
Speaker 1: it was like a film Vanial Sky. Right now, for
Speaker 1: this is gonna start a bunch of conspiracy theories, because
Speaker 1: you know, now, I'm suspicious that Tom Cruise started the
Speaker 1: pandemic in order to empty Times Square because he has
Speaker 1: always dreamed. So that whole shot where Tom's like Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise loves to sprint through a city and he loves sprinting,
Speaker 1: just loves sprinting on camera, and so in the movie,
Speaker 1: it's like the very beginning of the movie, he wakes up,
Speaker 1: gets out of bed, drags a come across his head,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, drives out and then finds that
Speaker 1: Times Square is empty, gets out of his car and
Speaker 1: starts sprinting around because he's Tom Cruise and his he's
Speaker 1: just a fucking Dalmatian that got off the leash. And
Speaker 1: then he wakes up and it's a fucking dream sequence.
Speaker 1: None of that happened. It doesn't make it. It doesn't
Speaker 1: add at all to the movie. And it was the
Speaker 1: most expensive shot in film history up to that point,
Speaker 1: and I like guaranteed that was all that was Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise idea. The people who were like extras who are
Speaker 1: like blocking off traffic and all like who worked on
Speaker 1: the set all said that, like he he was basically
Speaker 1: running the shoot that day. He was like getting people
Speaker 1: pumped up because I had to come in at like
Speaker 1: three in the morning. He was like, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing. Like learned all their names and
Speaker 1: did all the Tom cruizy ship. But like this is
Speaker 1: this is just that, Like it's not gonna look better,
Speaker 1: it's not going to add to the movie, but it
Speaker 1: is going to allow an entire fucking company is worth
Speaker 1: of human capital to work together to get Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: to space so he can like flip around and do
Speaker 1: cool ship. Basically, I hope it goes so wrong for him.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, not like for the I just
Speaker 1: more in the sense that like they see it and
Speaker 1: they're like this looks like ship. Like he's like doing
Speaker 1: some insane thing and they forgot to turn the camera
Speaker 1: on right, Like the footage is all corrupted upon re entry.
Speaker 1: He seems like pretty laid back when you get on
Speaker 1: a movie set with him. Oh yes, those videos, yeah,
Speaker 1: especially when he's screaming at people for not wearing masks. Assholes,
Speaker 1: even though I have the one that has like an
Speaker 1: exhaust valve on it that functionally doesn't just spreader. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole industry is looking at us, you assholes. Doesn't
Speaker 1: know how to swear? Is there is there like a
Speaker 1: real date for when this is going, Like it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a race, so you know it's a space race. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a who's who's the other who's the other party
Speaker 1: in this race? Vladimir Putin, Oh my god. And also
Speaker 1: the Fast and the Furious movies are making a space one,
Speaker 1: so not maybe in space? Where are you for real? Now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They had they always said the next one was going
Speaker 1: to be space, and they've been saying it getting closer,
Speaker 1: right because I said, it's like a rocket car and
Speaker 1: this where else could you go? Well know this last one,
Speaker 1: this next one has them in space. It does it
Speaker 1: recreates that guy who skydived from outer space for Red
Speaker 1: Bull or whatever, Bom Garden or whatever. They do that
Speaker 1: in a car, and I'm hoping that that's like as
Speaker 1: far as they follow that path of like we we
Speaker 1: need to do this. I mean really though, if they
Speaker 1: were smart, they got to just take it to like
Speaker 1: like we done. We just give us like the other
Speaker 1: cultures versions, you know, fast and furious, Like you can
Speaker 1: still keep a car, but like, let's do it about
Speaker 1: how they get down like in the Middle East. All
Speaker 1: that's stunt driving and ship like the m I a
Speaker 1: video alright, And finally I just want to talk about
Speaker 1: how cats actually suck at killing rats. Um that all right?
Speaker 1: So this is just a thing that I had heard about,
Speaker 1: Like the the story comes up every once in a
Speaker 1: while that a city has a rat problem they release
Speaker 1: a thousand feral cats, and like you're just like, well that'll,
Speaker 1: that'll take care of that. So it turns out, first
Speaker 1: of all, it's bullshit, but it's not for the reason
Speaker 1: that you suspect. It's not that like cats are lazy
Speaker 1: and like don't actually kill rats. Like a single cat
Speaker 1: being an outside cat in your neighborhood is like an
Speaker 1: ecological disaster. They will kill fucking everything. The thing that
Speaker 1: they're not good at is basically killing a population of
Speaker 1: rats in a given location because those rats will just
Speaker 1: move elsewhere. Yeah, they just got the funk out of there.
Speaker 1: They have like a great sense of smell, and they
Speaker 1: have evolved so that if there is a cat present.
Speaker 1: They are going to move to the house down the
Speaker 1: street where there is to move to Paris and become famous. Exactly,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, so it's just is the ratituet rats
Speaker 1: their immigrants. They were getting away from some cats making
Speaker 1: sure I'm just guessing. Well, wasn't Fivele went west, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So we know about that already,
Speaker 1: and there are no cats in America. There are no
Speaker 1: cats in America. Oh shit, okay, this man. We knew
Speaker 1: they should already then from these cartoons. Yeah you're trying
Speaker 1: to tell us, but yeah, I mean they so they
Speaker 1: did a study on like there there's all this detail
Speaker 1: about the study that they did where they were tracking
Speaker 1: rats in a abandoned fa ctory like just this massive
Speaker 1: rat colony had moved in and uh and then a
Speaker 1: feral cat colony moved in as well, and they were like,
Speaker 1: this is gonna sunk up eric rat following experiment, but
Speaker 1: then realized, oh, we've never actually seen feral cats hunt,
Speaker 1: and the feral cats only killed like two rats. Cats.
Speaker 1: You can't get cats to do stuff. They're on their own.
Speaker 1: Like anyone who's ever try to have a cat in
Speaker 1: a movie will tell you that like, cats do not
Speaker 1: take direction. You can't be like we'll give you this
Speaker 1: if you do this. They don't care. They just are
Speaker 1: like they value their self sufficiency the most. Yeah, every
Speaker 1: cat you've ever seen in the movie is actually twenty
Speaker 1: different cats. Yeah together. Right, So they so they don't
Speaker 1: kill the rats. So is that just to say that
Speaker 1: they're they just weren't interested or that they're No. I
Speaker 1: think the rats are just good. The rats there like rough, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh you want me to do this thing,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just sit here and lick myself instead. Right,
Speaker 1: And are is it that we just have this like
Speaker 1: cartoon per section of a cat which is like, yo,
Speaker 1: they don't eat the funk out of a rat. Well,
Speaker 1: rats are also like really smart. So you put a
Speaker 1: cat in a neighborhood and like they're gonna eat the
Speaker 1: ship out of some birds, some rabbits, uh, some mice,
Speaker 1: but rats are actually like rats are gonna inherit the
Speaker 1: earth from us. Like yeah, yeah, they're impossible to kill.
Speaker 1: They're super smart and they deserve it. Just they're cute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we suck absolutely, So they're just gonna kill everybody. You're
Speaker 1: just gonna kill everyone except the rats that you want
Speaker 1: them too, because they are not a tool that you
Speaker 1: can use cats. So we investing more on feral rat
Speaker 1: culture and rat technology. Just embrace that. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like just fucking we need to master
Speaker 1: the rats. Are you better start talking to five? All? Then? Yeah,
Speaker 1: fibals a mouse? Five is a mouse and stupid. Hence
Speaker 1: the song there are no cats in America. Wait, Miles,
Speaker 1: where's five? Where five? That's you throw your doves in
