Speaker 1: of a music video director. Is he ripping off Matt Barney?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Hey, you said it, not me? Um.
Speaker 1: That song, by the way, brings me back to uh
Speaker 1: my day is watching Rocky four on VHS on the
Speaker 1: soundtrack right, Uh, it is on the soundtrack that actually
Speaker 1: is the song that Apollo enters his match against Ivan
Speaker 1: Drago to. Uh. James Brown performs that live and there
Speaker 1: are dancers there and at one point you can like
Speaker 1: see one of the dancers. But and I used to
Speaker 1: pause that because I was a home year like six
Speaker 1: year old. Uh, whoa, it's a butt um in movie.
Speaker 1: That's that's where I was at before, before like my
Speaker 1: favorite character gets murdered. I'm still like, oh but uh

Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the
Speaker 1: brilliant and talented Raphael Shamona calm. He I did not
Speaker 1: bring my own theme music like Miles. That's fine, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll just we'll take those dulcin I would like I
Speaker 1: would like moren though. Yeah, but you're bringing the atmosphere
Speaker 1: with the with the bar that you're recording from Uyeah
Speaker 1: so far the best zoom background I've seen in that,
Speaker 1: Like you've matched the lighting in your camera with the
Speaker 1: lighting of the photograph, so it does. For a second,
Speaker 1: I honestly thought you were like the mayor of a
Speaker 1: bar who just gets to use it as an office now,
Speaker 1: which is appropriate for the zeit geys because everybody is
Speaker 1: feeling you know, it seems like everybody's like ready to
Speaker 1: get back out there and breathing each other's faces. I
Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how they are, but
Speaker 1: the photos seemed to indicate a very uh extreme energy
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, um, where are you at right now?
Speaker 1: I'm in the kitchen the bar, which I use on
Speaker 1: on meetings to like tone things now, like people automatically
Speaker 1: toned down when they see a bar. They don't think
Speaker 1: that they're saying as seriously as they normally would. Shot
Speaker 1: shot are you West Coast East Coast. I'm in Queens
Speaker 1: and New York. Okay, yeah, a few days in a row. Now,
Speaker 1: you love from the East Coast, m um, And you
Speaker 1: are telling us another secret that you have for zoom
Speaker 1: mating backgrounds the Bob Ross. Oh yeah, I did a
Speaker 1: video of Bob Ross painting so that people can keep
Speaker 1: track of how excessively long the meetings by the time
Speaker 1: this is an entire painting, so that that's been an
Speaker 1: entire landscape. Right, You're still could have in a meeting,
Speaker 1: and it's also apparently enough time for Bob Ross to
Speaker 1: paint a masterpiece. All right, we are going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Uh. We are gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: January Sixers. Uh those other sixers Uh not from Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of them are. Uh you know, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be like a shitty jersey, like throwback jersey in
Speaker 1: about fifteen years of course, and I just thought of it. Anyways,
Speaker 1: they continue to uh impress us with their entitlement and
Speaker 1: arrogance and just for being so revved up about wanting
Speaker 1: to fight for their version of this country. They seem
Speaker 1: to be new here because they they're expecting uh, some
Speaker 1: some treatment in prison that is not typically given. And
Speaker 1: ever wherever, we're gonna talk about the d s A
Speaker 1: doing work in Nevada. We're gonna talk about Piers Morgan
Speaker 1: storming off the set of one of his shows and
Speaker 1: then storming off the uh permanently, Yeah, but storming permanently
Speaker 1: off the staff at that show. Uh. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that royal response that bright Bart is treating like oh
Speaker 1: ship they clapped back. Uh. Starting to starting to see
Speaker 1: the sides now, aren't we with this whole thing? Interesting? Interesting? Uh?
Speaker 1: Studios are starting to move some release dates forward. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about the front runner for
Speaker 1: the next James Bond or the guy who just took
Speaker 1: over as the front runner on betting markets, which is
Speaker 1: the thing. Uh. We'll talk about Biden's bad dog who
Speaker 1: bit somebody, uh, and that's being treated like a news story.
Speaker 1: All of that plenty more. But first, Raphael, we like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that is revealing about who you are? The last
Speaker 1: thing I searched was hourly salary calculator where income of
Speaker 1: a year and break it down to an hourly rate
Speaker 1: so you could see where you are. And I did
Speaker 1: that because um Andrew Yang is running in our city
Speaker 1: and he's he's calling it, Uh, he didn't say universal,
Speaker 1: but he's calling it a basic income. What do you
Speaker 1: want to give? And it comes down to nine cents
Speaker 1: an hour. That's really like the dream that he's offering.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not that's not much of anything. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little over a metro card. Like, it's a little
Speaker 1: over what you need to buy a metrical car. I mean,
Speaker 1: but hey, you know, like when when you're balling like that,
Speaker 1: it's hard to know what poor people need, as we
Speaker 1: can tell from all of the people with wealth trying
Speaker 1: to solve income inequality and wealth inequality. Like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think ninety cents an hour if you're
Speaker 1: doing nothing, that's pretty baller for a poor person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's especially problematic when you realize that they're going
Speaker 1: to try and use that to replace all sorts of
Speaker 1: social programs that actually people use a need. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: actually the wealth distribution man, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: he's actually on these libertarian like almost all right, but
Speaker 1: libertarian um YouTube's nodding his head when they actually say
Speaker 1: that this is a great way to get rid of
Speaker 1: social services. So in a way, it's the trap. And
Speaker 1: and he doesn't say it, but you could see him nodding,
Speaker 1: And I've questioned him directly about it, and he refused
Speaker 1: to respondsing that he just has to convince all the
Speaker 1: people like that he's like playing them, but I feel
Speaker 1: like he's playing me, right, Yeah, it's hard to hard
Speaker 1: to say, like you give a funk when you're like
Speaker 1: not with fifteen dollars minimum wage either, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know how you how you can say you occupy these
Speaker 1: positions too, but you're like, but but hell not the
Speaker 1: fifteen an hour. Let's be real here. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: i'm i'm, I'm I'm the only thing that seems to
Speaker 1: be consistent is that you want less for these people.
Speaker 1: And it makes sense who his campaign leadership is there
Speaker 1: actually venture capitalists from like the Bloomberg School, Like literally
Speaker 1: the people who um just one of victory against the
Speaker 1: app drivers in California, m um and are bragging about
Speaker 1: how they're you know, they don't have to treat those
Speaker 1: drivers as workers, right, Yeah, that really bones me out
Speaker 1: like that. I was talking about that mayor from Stockton, California,
Speaker 1: Michael Tubbs, who's like super talented and was like messing
Speaker 1: with the universal basic income like experiment, and there's been
Speaker 1: recent data about you know how that really worked and
Speaker 1: was helpful. But he was team Bloomberg in the primaries.
Speaker 1: It's just like Yo, what sorry? What? Uh? And this
Speaker 1: an experiment that was That's what I'm saying. It was
Speaker 1: just an experiment. I didn't say. I was working around
Speaker 1: and see what happened if you gave five dollars of people.
Speaker 1: It worked, I guess. And that kind of blew up
Speaker 1: in my face because I was hoping it wouldn't Bloomberg
Speaker 1: all day. Yeah. I feel like like he also went
Speaker 1: to Stanford, like and uh, I just feel like having
Speaker 1: those sorts of friends being from that venture capital world
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know, it should be somewhat disqualifying
Speaker 1: because it's going to affect how seriously you're able to
Speaker 1: uh implement like the ideals that you claim right before,
Speaker 1: And like fundraising for your startup is like it's like
Speaker 1: a say, it's a sales job. It's not like, uh,
Speaker 1: what's the best outcome for everyone, that it will ensure
Speaker 1: the health of my company and its employees. Thing, it's
Speaker 1: like no, man, like I gotta fucking I gotta hustle
Speaker 1: and guess some of the VC money. That mentality is
Speaker 1: you can't bring that into public service, Like that's a
Speaker 1: completely different game. So it think that they're you know,
Speaker 1: parallel or congruent. I think it's just really a misstep.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Andrew Yang, like has there been a satisfactory
Speaker 1: explanation for that bodega video the quote bodega in quotes,
Speaker 1: But that's not the main issue. The main issue is
Speaker 1: that he doesn't seem to know how like what a
Speaker 1: banana is or how a banana like comes and bunches.
Speaker 1: He like picks he he picks up a bunch of
Speaker 1: bananas and thinks just that like he's so confused by
Speaker 1: the fact that it's connected to other bananas, and it's
Speaker 1: it just suggests a level of like being from a
Speaker 1: different parallel universe that uh, I I have not been
Speaker 1: able to like I've watched the multiple times and I've
Speaker 1: yet to be able to kind of make sense of
Speaker 1: like how how that was confusing unless he was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, so focused on being on camera that it
Speaker 1: was just he got he would be our first AI mayor.
Speaker 1: He immediately responded to the criticism. There was like one
Speaker 1: tweet that said, like a real bodegas where your shoulders
Speaker 1: touched both ends of the the shelves, And his next
Speaker 1: image was in another bodega where he literally his shoulders
Speaker 1: touched the next things I know I have. I have
Speaker 1: addressed your concern, and I have optimized bodega software. The
Speaker 1: UI experience has been optimized for bodega interactions. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: bodega cat. I will now look lovingly at it. I
Speaker 1: love bodega cats. And we've all learned what AI does
Speaker 1: what it's created within a racist structure. Letting it on
Speaker 1: its own it just makes racist a I. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's he's racist or anything, but AI may
Speaker 1: or is dangerous. Yeah. If you put racist ingredients in
Speaker 1: the AI, it's gonna come up with something racist. The
Speaker 1: AI doesn't figure out how to be like, I don't
Speaker 1: need that part right. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Oh definitely, HI high is completely overrated and it's I
Speaker 1: could I could go deep into this one gang or
Speaker 1: you So I is a lie. It looks pretty, smells wonderful, right,
Speaker 1: but the moment you actually use it, it it crumbles into
Speaker 1: into a match. And my question to all the pie
Speaker 1: lovers is simply this. If I handed you that mess,
Speaker 1: would you eat it? Like after it's no longer you know,
Speaker 1: like a triangle? Like you wouldn't eat that slop? That's someone,
Speaker 1: because that's what it immediately becomes. The moment you use it.
Speaker 1: It's it's like getting a Cadillac and the moment you
Speaker 1: get out of a showroom, literally the moment it just
Speaker 1: becomes a pile of Cadillac pots. The worst thing pie
Speaker 1: is the word the only good pie. The only good
Speaker 1: pie is cheesecake. Alright, so will you grantie? You grant
Speaker 1: me key lampie. That kind of keeps its shape is
Speaker 1: in the good range of the of the thing. And
Speaker 1: I think it should follow cheesecake and drop the name
Speaker 1: pie because the shame of being associated. So essentially, anything
Speaker 1: that can maintain its structural integrity after being served on
Speaker 1: a plate is passes your test. Mostly if it becomes
Speaker 1: an amorphous blob after just one for the trick, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's it's a trick. It's like this beautiful thing,
Speaker 1: and then the moment you use it, it's completely Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't even really like it. It seems like it's
Speaker 1: doing a bit and switch on what you tensil you
Speaker 1: should be using like that that that is some like
Speaker 1: an apple blueberry pie, like you need a spoon for that,
Speaker 1: you need a Swiss army knife because you don't know
Speaker 1: what right. What's your favorite cake? Cheesecake? Well, so cheesecake.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's a cake, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a pie. But cheesecake is the best thing in
Speaker 1: the world, and really, you know, it's it's the best.
Speaker 1: The ingredients are so simple and yeah, you you can
Speaker 1: have a cheesecake, a different cheesecake every day. Um, it's
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's as promised, it comes to you
Speaker 1: as promised. I like, I like. I have issues about um,
Speaker 1: I guess promises, you know. I think I have to
Speaker 1: go down with my therapist. But trust issues with pie.
Speaker 1: I've trust issues with everything that I'm diverting to pie.
Speaker 1: I think, are you are you a cake fan? Like
Speaker 1: birthday cake type stuff like sheet cake. I like the
Speaker 1: base of the cake, not so much the creamy, overdone
Speaker 1: stuff on the top. But I grew up my my
Speaker 1: babysitter in my whole childhood was a master cake baker.
Speaker 1: I grew up with cakes the size of me that
Speaker 1: she would prepare for like bar mitzvahs and weddings and wow,
Speaker 1: so I've had my fill of you've your anti pie
Speaker 1: say it like that's some superhero origin should have, like
Speaker 1: the it was like anti pie, right, I grew up
Speaker 1: with a master baker. It cakes the size of ice.
Speaker 1: My fucking light. God't fucking talk to me about this ship,
Speaker 1: homie born in this You really playing it um again?
Speaker 1: I have to ask, because it's important question always asking
Speaker 1: more around cake conversation is fondint? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about fondentt Okay, know enough about this. I have to
Speaker 1: google this. It's just that like real hard ship, they
Speaker 1: put on the outer layer of cake, like if you
Speaker 1: need really nice like formed cakes and things. It's like
Speaker 1: the thick icing. It's like what it feels like icing
Speaker 1: that's been through a microwave like three hundred times, and
Speaker 1: it's just like it's like the icing stuck to the
Speaker 1: bottom of a shoe or something. I know, I know
Speaker 1: what this is. I just looked at the images and
Speaker 1: it's it's that it's what makes those cakes look like
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of clay. That's also a lie. Exactly,
Speaker 1: it's the biggest lie in the cake game. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, I love Keylon pie though I love I
Speaker 1: love a good Graham cracker crust with some Keylon pie,
Speaker 1: but it basically a cheese cheesecake. Cakes have gone really far.
Speaker 1: Like when I was when I was a kid, and
Speaker 1: the baker Elena, who was who was raising me, Um,
Speaker 1: she used to just go and buy toys from the
Speaker 1: toy store and put them on the cake rather than
Speaker 1: create like he Man like she would literally put a
Speaker 1: he Man figure on the cake. Its amazing. As a kid,
Speaker 1: I had a Heman birthday cake that had just the
Speaker 1: plastic chest plate like it was just like he Man's
Speaker 1: like torso as a piece of plastic on top of
Speaker 1: the cake, and then like the face was one today
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, I had a Thundercat's cake, but the Thundercat
Speaker 1: loggle was so jankie, like a like a four thundercatch,
Speaker 1: like you couldn't get a sticker. And yeah, because I
Speaker 1: remember too, like cake toppers would be like those really
Speaker 1: terrible like injection molded plastic things like, Yo, this is
Speaker 1: not Batman. I'm sorry, bro, but that is not Batman.
Speaker 1: Like your cake, that's some mother ship. And to hear
Speaker 1: that Elena was going out there out her way to
Speaker 1: put the fucking legit toy like it speaks to my
Speaker 1: you know, just torture child heart who wanted to see
Speaker 1: the real thing on the cake. Yeah, it's beautiful. What
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Underrated? That's a tough one.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's harder because it's it's this you
Speaker 1: have to have a positive outlook on life, like overrated.
Speaker 1: You could just you could just throw a coin in
Speaker 1: the end whatever it lands on, be like that's overrated.
Speaker 1: Underrated it coined, I guess according to you know, the
Speaker 1: climate is underrated? Yeah? Was that a miss it? When
Speaker 1: it's gone, we're gonna miss it. Yeah. I mean again,
Speaker 1: you got grit at Tunberg out there being like hi,
Speaker 1: Joe buying in. Do you want to treat it like
Speaker 1: a crisis or something or just like a talking point
Speaker 1: that you that you used to just be like elect
Speaker 1: me and I won't see the bad parts clearly based
Speaker 1: on the clock I'm running on, So God bless you
Speaker 1: all a good night. I don't know, it's yeah, it
Speaker 1: does feel more and more like do you think this
Speaker 1: will be the the election cycle? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like every election cycle or like is it an
Speaker 1: issue cremaster cycle? Thank you? Um? Is this cremaster cycle
Speaker 1: going to be the one where climate change really is? Like,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll talk about it more seriously, maybe before you
Speaker 1: start giving two votes to everyone. It was sixteen and
Speaker 1: above and half a vote to everyone who wouldn't have
Speaker 1: to experience. I mean, they are holding on to power
Speaker 1: for dear life that that generation, and you know they
Speaker 1: there's a lot unsaid in that, but the fact that
Speaker 1: they have both major party nominees, the head of the House,
Speaker 1: the head of the Senate are all over like like
Speaker 1: they they are guarding the fact that they have different
Speaker 1: priorities than the rest of us, and they also have
Speaker 1: more money to lose than the rest of the world,
Speaker 1: so they're hanging on. We've seen what they're doing in
Speaker 1: New York on a micro scale, where we had dominated
Speaker 1: the whole state houses and the governorship and the governor.
Speaker 1: What the governor did, Cuomo um He organized like conservative
Speaker 1: Democrats to be the holdouts and they started to caucus
Speaker 1: with Republicans. They were called the I D C. And
Speaker 1: this is exactly what's happening now on a national level.
Speaker 1: It allows Cuomo and and buy it in now to
Speaker 1: put the blame on these eight Democrats when he and
Speaker 1: the Senate and the House could easily um make everything
Speaker 1: we voted for them pop sable, you know, and they
Speaker 1: can easily now just point to these eight Democrats. But
Speaker 1: there's also that parliamentarian who you know, you can't you
Speaker 1: can't beat the parliamentarian. That's it's like the Queen and chess. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's amazing that we just found out about it,
Speaker 1: that it existed. Yeah, new rule. We can't disagree with this, dude.
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah are bad. Yeah, it's it's frustrating. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just gonna take it. Just has
Speaker 1: we have to set tipping point where enough people really
Speaker 1: see this ship for what it is, because too many
Speaker 1: people still like Joe Biden. Okay, like I don't have
Speaker 1: to look at anything he's doing because we got past
Speaker 1: the Trump part, and it's like it's that lack of
Speaker 1: attention that allows all this ship to go on. And
Speaker 1: then you scratch your head wondering why you don't have
Speaker 1: a stimulus check and the fucking your wages are still
Speaker 1: so depressed. You're like, what we got? I thought we
Speaker 1: had the Senate, the House that yeah, but like you know,
Speaker 1: like you saying, all they need is a little bit
Speaker 1: of cover to be like throw their hands up and
Speaker 1: be like I'm so weak though unless you Bernie running
Speaker 1: for the nomination and then you'll see me fuck it
Speaker 1: all up. But like it's a very uh, it's just
Speaker 1: so duplicitous and to know that like running a campaign
Speaker 1: that seemed so like to exploit this idea of like
Speaker 1: we're connecting with the human suffering in this country and
Speaker 1: we want to bring this we want to bring this
Speaker 1: thing back to something humane. And then it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's just America going on as it does. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. I think one of the big possible like
Speaker 1: bad pr for people who are trying to just make
Speaker 1: it seem like business as usual. As when the Gulf
Speaker 1: stream turns off, that's that's gonna change a lot of
Speaker 1: ship and they're saying that that is pretty close to
Speaker 1: an unprecedented slow down that would change the weather all
Speaker 1: over the East coast, of America and the UK, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I'm glad I got I mean
Speaker 1: one of those new gulf Stream G seven hundred jets. Man,
Speaker 1: it's just it's smooth as fuck. And I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't I would check that. I'm pretty sure gulf
Speaker 1: Stream is doing pretty good with their private jet made
Speaker 1: correct becausiness. Yeah, I mean it's great for gulf Stream
Speaker 1: because they become the number one gulf Stream and the
Speaker 1: Street is really bullish on that. So yeah, alright, well
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. Uh go watch the cremaster
Speaker 1: cycle and we'll be right there and we're back and
Speaker 1: the January sixers. Uh, I do like who would be
Speaker 1: the starting five? I mean obviously Embat Yeah, um Trump
Speaker 1: at the Trump his playing point guard, Yeah, cu Shaman,
Speaker 1: I don't know, is he like a small forward? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Actually maybe maybe Trump is embiid Uh? This is is
Speaker 1: center Begs at the five Arkansas dude at his feet
Speaker 1: on Nancy Pelosi's desk. Ye either way for real post
Speaker 1: or not? I mean, yeah, so this whole story, it
Speaker 1: keeps evolving or not evolving. They just they're more ridiculous
Speaker 1: stories about the arrogance. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I thought it. I thought it was over what
Speaker 1: the he is going on? Um, So we talked about
Speaker 1: Federico Klein last week, who sounds like the off brand
Speaker 1: underwear designer, but it's actually was a Trump State Department
Speaker 1: appoint tee, and how he was arrested for you know,
Speaker 1: assaulting officers with the riot shield and other violent crimes
Speaker 1: and you know, felonies. But either way, now that he's
Speaker 1: in custody, he had some concerns about the conditions at
Speaker 1: his like hearing. He told the judge quote, I wonder
Speaker 1: if there's a place where I can stay in detention
Speaker 1: where I don't have cockroaches crawling over me while I
Speaker 1: attempt to sleep. I mean, really, I really haven't slept
Speaker 1: all that much, Your Honor. It would be nice if
Speaker 1: I could just sleep in a place where there were
Speaker 1: knock cockroaches everywhere, Your Honor, Your honor cockroaches. Much like
Speaker 1: it's like being like sarcastic um a power user on
Speaker 1: trip Advisor. I could fund this whole thing up with
Speaker 1: one review. Okay, so think about it before I before
Speaker 1: I leave a review. In this courtroom and the detention
Speaker 1: facility here and wherever it was. I mean, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: because we've seen this, this whole sense of like, but
Speaker 1: I'm white, don't treat me like the other people. There's
Speaker 1: two justice systems. That's why I stormed the capitol because
Speaker 1: I knew that. And now you want to treat me
Speaker 1: like every other person that you brutalize with your fun
Speaker 1: up legal system. Hell no. So I mean, like, look,
Speaker 1: if q Shaman got organic food and the other lady
Speaker 1: out to go to Cancun, and the judges like Yang
Speaker 1: going Cancun trip, I mean, honestly, he might be in
Speaker 1: the st regis by tonight. I mean, obviously, as a society,
Speaker 1: we should not be putting people in cages where cockroaches
Speaker 1: crawl over them. Period. It's just wild that the only
Speaker 1: times we hear about it is when it happens to
Speaker 1: Jeoffrey Epstein or somebody who was trying to overthrow the
Speaker 1: government well employed by the government, right, um, basically Republicans.
Speaker 1: If it happens to Republicans we hear about. Right. The
Speaker 1: other one is there was another guy who was at
Speaker 1: the at the Capitol that day. He was arrested at
Speaker 1: JFK because he attempted to flee to Kenya. So on
Speaker 1: he flew to Kenya and then the Kenyans deported him
Speaker 1: last week. They're like, wait, what the funk? No, by
Speaker 1: go and then the FBI just got his ass at
Speaker 1: at JFK. But again, these are the kinds of like
Speaker 1: solutions that these people think will work. And the other
Speaker 1: man who was arrested, this guy, he was a business
Speaker 1: owner from Montana. So yeah, Isaac Steve Sturgeon, mm hmm,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I've read about this guy. What
Speaker 1: what would you learn? I mean, it just reminded me
Speaker 1: of like in Queens. We have a lot of like
Speaker 1: racial because it's the so diverse, we have a lot
Speaker 1: of like racial tension everywhere. And I'm used to seeing
Speaker 1: white racist do white racist stuff then run home to
Speaker 1: co op like black culture for their enjoyment. So like
Speaker 1: in this case, Isaac Sturgeon or whoever he is, he
Speaker 1: did his like white racist stuff in Capitol Hill then
Speaker 1: like co opted Africa just like he was like, I'm
Speaker 1: going to the source. Here's my costco card of white supremacy.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get Kenya. I need
Speaker 1: to go back to the cradle of life. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, get down, you know you feel me
Speaker 1: Manubie and Kings and queens. Wait what, I'm sorry, but anyway,
Speaker 1: funck Barack Obama Wait hold on, so this is it's Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just so confusing. It must be exhausting. But again, uh,
Speaker 1: they've found their way into the the wonderful embrace of
Speaker 1: the FBI. Mm hmm uh. I do wonder if he
Speaker 1: was going over there to like on some berther ship
Speaker 1: to try and or like, Montana sounds like you're a
Speaker 1: big game hunter and maybe you could pretend you're like
Speaker 1: Almota do like I'm gonna go kill African things to
Speaker 1: blow some steam off from the insurrection. But because like
Speaker 1: that feels like a you know, like I know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of big games. What was the other story,
Speaker 1: like in the beginning of Trump administration, some like big
Speaker 1: game hunters from Montana and stuff going to wherever. But yeah,
Speaker 1: could be it. I don't know, but either way, it
Speaker 1: didn't work. All right, let's talk about some positive news. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the d s A and Progressives or the d s
Speaker 1: A helped progressive sweep Nava does party leadership votes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking full blown the never the Nevada Democratic Party they
Speaker 1: had leadership role elections. And I'm just this is a
Speaker 1: nice story because we talked about all the fucking time
Speaker 1: the constant roadblocks the establishment throws down to prevent any
Speaker 1: actual substantive change or progress legislatively, policy wise, and it's
Speaker 1: so fucking frustrating because it's like, these are legit solutions,
Speaker 1: they're not these fucking make believe things that make your
Speaker 1: donors be like that sounds woke and doesn't affect my business.
Speaker 1: I love it versus ones where it's like, no, fundamentally
Speaker 1: we have to rethink how any of this anything like
Speaker 1: that obviously obstructed. So this start, this story kind of
Speaker 1: starts in with the Bernie supporters who began organizing for
Speaker 1: the primary run. Will you know, at the time, then
Speaker 1: you have Hillary Clinton, big D Democrat politics that means
Speaker 1: Harry Reid is involved, who is like the god MC
Speaker 1: of like Nevada demo cratic politics. Like, so you had
Speaker 1: these two sides, and then after that the organizers just
Speaker 1: did not stop because Bernie wasn't the nominee. In fact,
Speaker 1: they began to see the change they could bring about
Speaker 1: by organizing their communities and running candidates that actually wanted outcomes.
Speaker 1: For working people. They're like, I don't know, this ship
Speaker 1: is working. And then you tell people you want to
Speaker 1: help them and they vibe with it and let's go.
Speaker 1: So over the years, they were just picking up little
Speaker 1: wins here and there, a little election wins, little leadership wins,
Speaker 1: and the establishment became complacent because they're like, we got
Speaker 1: this on lock. These they're just a bunch of hippies
Speaker 1: who don't have the funk they're doing. Cut two, and
Speaker 1: I know that everyone's favorite phrase who listens to the show.
Speaker 1: Cut to this last weekend where every seat went to
Speaker 1: progressives and then the Democrats who held those seats, they
Speaker 1: were running a whole campaign about like unity, like we
Speaker 1: will we will work together, and like these progressives they're divisive.
Speaker 1: You see how they're talking about us, saying we could
Speaker 1: do more. That's so divisive, asking us to do better?
Speaker 1: How could they? And so be because of that, we're
Speaker 1: the only people that can solve the problem. Well, they lost,
Speaker 1: and then in response they all fucking quit, They all
Speaker 1: resigned and to SCEs. Yeah, and took severances exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: I think like moving some cash into like the Senatorial
Speaker 1: Committee fund too, to be like, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want you to decide what to do with that
Speaker 1: money quite yet, because that needs to go to a
Speaker 1: very vulnerable senator who's running for reelection. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's like it's you love to see this ship,
Speaker 1: you know, people like the true organizing that's happening, and
Speaker 1: like connecting door to door with your community as a
Speaker 1: way to collectively organize against these establishment power houses that
Speaker 1: are now literally taking it for granted and laughing it
Speaker 1: off as other people suffer from their lack of action.
Speaker 1: Like it's so great to see that ship happen and
Speaker 1: then watch these fucking people take their fucking ball and
Speaker 1: run home from the playground. Um, because you know, like
Speaker 1: the Democrats would never or harm the party to stop progress,
Speaker 1: you know. Ever, we've never seen that, or maybe there is.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just have a headline there, but
Speaker 1: from the New York Times, it says Democratic leaders risk
Speaker 1: well willing to risk party damage to stop Bernie Sanders. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that is something they oh, right, right, rights? Is
Speaker 1: there something unique about Nevada? Because I mean I I
Speaker 1: was very encouraged after the Nevada primary, uh over a
Speaker 1: year ago when Bernie Sanders won and everyone was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, I think that is right around when that
Speaker 1: headline came out. They're like this, We're gonna find a
Speaker 1: way to take him out. Is there something unique about
Speaker 1: it or did they just like do a bunch of
Speaker 1: things that other states can learn from both? I think
Speaker 1: I think the Democrats ignore the Latino community there, and
Speaker 1: as as granted and Bernie really I volunteered there with
Speaker 1: Make the Road Nevada UM and we did things with
Speaker 1: the essay there and others um and really when you
Speaker 1: knock on those doors, pool were surprised that you're knocking
Speaker 1: on their doors. The big d Democrats weren't knocking on
Speaker 1: their doors. We were, and we were talking about like
Speaker 1: the bread and butter issues, like real straightforward, real simple
Speaker 1: in English, in Spanish like and it was just like neighbors.
Speaker 1: Like everywhere we went to we were going with people
Speaker 1: within all of the communities knocking on neighbors doors. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't like paratrooping in and and being like vote
Speaker 1: here or there. It was just like your neighbors talking
Speaker 1: about it. And also like in terms of d s A,
Speaker 1: I'm a Queen's d s A member and in and
Speaker 1: there's so many DSA members in New York City work
Speaker 1: as staff across the Democratic Party machine, you know, and
Speaker 1: across the state. And they work every day like adults do,
Speaker 1: like doing their job. And they and during their job, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they nudge their colleagues away from like Republican funders, and
Speaker 1: some played out ideas um and you know, minor things
Speaker 1: like you know, no Forever Wars tex. But they do
Speaker 1: it because they believe in their ideas. So so seeing
Speaker 1: some corporate Democrats flee their jobs out of an office
Speaker 1: now led by progressives in the middle of a pandemic
Speaker 1: when your community needs you the most, uh, just says
Speaker 1: a lot. You shouldn't be afraid to come to work
Speaker 1: with your ideas unless you don't believe in your ideas.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of a lot in the corporate
Speaker 1: wing of the Democratic Party. We don't believe in their ideas.
Speaker 1: But they get very get paid very well to act
Speaker 1: like they do, right, Yeah, yeah, because I mean they
Speaker 1: know objectively, like you're gonna you're not gonna be able
Speaker 1: to go to bat for a corporation when when you're
Speaker 1: putting the issue on the table of who is how
Speaker 1: are we going to help these people? And if your
Speaker 1: take is somehow tied to well, I mean that's just
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be anathema for like these corporate donors.
Speaker 1: Then it's like then we've you've lost because we're trying
Speaker 1: to solve We're not trying to solve how we get
Speaker 1: rich people to be okay with helping poor people. We're
Speaker 1: trying to solve how we help the needy. That's the first,
Speaker 1: that's the primary objective. These other things you're putting secondary
Speaker 1: and tertiary considerations as the primary to completely obscure this discussion.
Speaker 1: And sure, yeah there could be things about how you
Speaker 1: get it passed and things like that, but don't worry it.
Speaker 1: Don't fuck that up now when really we're trying to
Speaker 1: be like, how do we solve this? How do we
Speaker 1: cure this? Yeah, it's it seems like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of cynicism disguised as realism in the big D Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: and cynicism that is very convenient for them because that's
Speaker 1: the way that they know how to get the money. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's an existing system that's built up to you know
Speaker 1: that they that they have taken the time to learn
Speaker 1: and figure out how to manipulate to to play the game,
Speaker 1: but that that doesn't mean that that system that they
Speaker 1: learned isn't killing us. You know, I regret everything the
Speaker 1: time I say big D Democrat because it sounds like
Speaker 1: such a cool thing, Like what's the big D should
Speaker 1: be just like crooked D or something. I don't know
Speaker 1: what better term to use to just establishment big D energy,
Speaker 1: you know what, No, just the fucking the washed old
Speaker 1: people's just just washed. Your takes are washed. You're so behind,
Speaker 1: like the new ship is understanding coming to grips with
Speaker 1: the reality that there is such a violent inequality not
Speaker 1: just in this across the world, but can we live here?
Speaker 1: So let's figure out this motherfucker first, um, that has
Speaker 1: to get sorted out. And if you can't even put
Speaker 1: your first step to be like I acknowledge that, then
Speaker 1: it's it's washed, baby, That ain't That's not what we
Speaker 1: need right now. We need people who go, yes, fucked up?
Speaker 1: So what are we gonna do to help people rather
Speaker 1: than like, well, you know, like we gotta consider like
Speaker 1: what what's going to happen to like the insulin manufacturers too. Though,
Speaker 1: if we start, you know, having standardized pricing or something
Speaker 1: like that, that could really cause a lot of problems
Speaker 1: down the road for their shareholders and with them, so
Speaker 1: that when I am a golf ball's a lobbyist and
Speaker 1: you're like, what the where are we? Oh? America high? Right?
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of washed, let's talk about Piers Morgan.
Speaker 1: Uh he stormed off the set of his show. The
Speaker 1: sounds like it's like the equivalent of the Today Show
Speaker 1: or Good Morning America, Good Morning Britain, Good Morning Britain.
Speaker 1: There it is, and yeah, just in general, Miles, we
Speaker 1: were saying, like watching the British media takes and like
Speaker 1: the the sides that the fact that people are taking
Speaker 1: the side of the crown is wild. It's like a book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wild to see. But this guy came out chest
Speaker 1: out about how uh you know, fully defending the crown
Speaker 1: to a degree that they don't seem even on board
Speaker 1: with their statement. He's just getting dunked on. Like first
Speaker 1: on Monday, it was Dr Soholo Moss chucked Bammu, who
Speaker 1: is this activist who rightly just described what colonialism is
Speaker 1: and how how could you be shocked by anything? And
Speaker 1: she's on the like she's been on the show frequently,
Speaker 1: like going ahead to head with Pierce Morgan because she's
Speaker 1: the activist who's a person of reason, and then he's
Speaker 1: a conservative just racist scumbag. So everyone gets to watch
Speaker 1: these two people fight over an argument that shouldn't even
Speaker 1: be having to be taking place. But this is the
Speaker 1: first time. This is when the first the dunks began,
Speaker 1: and he was starting to get a little tender footed,
Speaker 1: tenderheaded with all the treatment. Um And I'll just play
Speaker 1: a clip when she was like, you really think the
Speaker 1: family that was rooted in colonial never mind about the
Speaker 1: suicide of thoughts and the help support and then you
Speaker 1: sit there, how many on about how the royal institution
Speaker 1: is no racist? Are you out of your god forsaken mind?
Speaker 1: You know, I find what you're saying about the queen
Speaker 1: actually disgraceful. I find you're unentitled your opinion. I find sorry,
Speaker 1: as you said, it's rooted. Listen, you might love something
Speaker 1: the royal family has. An institution is rooted in colonialism,
Speaker 1: what supremacy and racism, the legacies right there. So you
Speaker 1: are now surprised that a comment would have been made
Speaker 1: by several members of the royal family about how dark
Speaker 1: several members actually Okay, so we get it. Don't talk
Speaker 1: about Stonewall Jackson like that, don't talk about Robert E.
Speaker 1: We like that, how dare you? Like what? Like it's
Speaker 1: weird because they're having this weird reckoning with their fucked
Speaker 1: up institutional monarchy and like being like, oh is this
Speaker 1: like there is this there George Floyd or Confederate Monuments
Speaker 1: moment because they're being like everyone else is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that a statue of somebody who was like we
Speaker 1: were dying for slavery, you know, and and and people
Speaker 1: like yeah, but you know, like we're not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it until like you have to be like, hold on,
Speaker 1: this is a statue commemorating somebody who was trying to
Speaker 1: uphold the violent institution of slavery. And then you're like, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should get rid of that. And now we're like
Speaker 1: they're having this conversation of like the monarchy, Okay, this
Speaker 1: this this institution stands for I like actually kind of
Speaker 1: like all of this ship if you really think about it,
Speaker 1: Like so it's kind of cringe baby um and he's
Speaker 1: just like off of it. Um. And then the second one,
Speaker 1: uh is from Alex Beresford, who is the meteorologist, on
Speaker 1: the show, and he's a man of color. And he
Speaker 1: also was like, yo, I'm I'm not gonna live Pierce
Speaker 1: like you're fucking you've been foul with it like and
Speaker 1: but then takes him to task on a very very
Speaker 1: specific element about Pierce Morgan's relationship to Megan Markle. He
Speaker 1: walk behind his mother's coffin at a tender, tender age
Speaker 1: in front of the globe that is going to shape
Speaker 1: a young boy for the rest of his life. So
Speaker 1: I think that we need to all take a step back.
Speaker 1: And I understand that you don't like Mega Marco. You've
Speaker 1: made it so clear a number of times on this
Speaker 1: program a number of times. And I understand that you've
Speaker 1: got a personal relationship with Mega Market or had one,
Speaker 1: and she cut you off. She's entitled to cut you
Speaker 1: off if she wants to. Has she said anything about
Speaker 1: you since she cut you off? I don't think she has.
Speaker 1: But yet you continue to trash her. Okay, I'm done
Speaker 1: with this. No, no, no, being absolutely diabolical behavior. You see.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but Pierce spouts off on a regular basis
Speaker 1: and we all have to sit there and listen. Six
Speaker 1: thirty to seven o'clock yesterday was incredibly hard to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the all the I mean, every time Pierce Morgan discusses
Speaker 1: anything to do with race, it's all this gas lighty,
Speaker 1: dismissive ship. Oh that's he tried to tell this this,
Speaker 1: this fucking black man, what racism was if like a
Speaker 1: year ago about like, no, I don't think it's racism,
Speaker 1: and the watching this man try to elegantly be like,
Speaker 1: there are there are like trying to describe like a
Speaker 1: microaggression where it's like it's not it's something you can feel.
Speaker 1: It's it may not be the most overt, in your
Speaker 1: face documented act, but you can feel that. And as
Speaker 1: a person of color or any marginalized person, you know
Speaker 1: this feeling and it's it's awful. And Pierce I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I don't really believe in that. That's that
Speaker 1: was raised. It's like, yeah, exactly, get the funk off
Speaker 1: the TV man. You can tell again that he's in
Speaker 1: the right and has the courage of his convictions because
Speaker 1: he runs away instead of even answering, like the Democrats, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Yours Morgan is to Megan Merkle what bench
Speaker 1: Heireau is to ac It's like this weird to me.
Speaker 1: Why don't you debate me? Freaking me out full, like
Speaker 1: honestly lose my number? Okay, I see what's going on.
Speaker 1: So yeah, now he's so he's permanently off now right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he After after that happened, it was announced by
Speaker 1: I t V. I'll just quote from their uh something
Speaker 1: that was posted on their their website. Following discussions with
Speaker 1: I t V, Piers Morgan has decided now is the
Speaker 1: time to leave Good Morning Britain. I t V has
Speaker 1: accepted this decision and has nothing further to add, and
Speaker 1: then their article goes on to say the announcement comes
Speaker 1: after broadcasting regulator off Colm launched an investigation after received
Speaker 1: more than forty one thousand complaints regarding comment made by
Speaker 1: the presenter following Harry and Megan's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 1: So he's saying he resigned or he quit, but I
Speaker 1: mean the tone of that is certainly the tone of
Speaker 1: someone who just had to fire someone for a cause. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: and like Pierce Morgan, he stormed off because he reached that,
Speaker 1: he reached that point where your your duplicity is actually
Speaker 1: become volatile and can explode because you can't. You can't
Speaker 1: hold both things to be true. You can't on one
Speaker 1: breath be like, I mean, George Floyd was murdered in
Speaker 1: a racist event and talk about, you know about racism,
Speaker 1: but then you can't for a second look at a
Speaker 1: colonial history of Britain and understand though the racist just
Speaker 1: implications overt racism or subtile, whatever level you want to
Speaker 1: find it at, it's there, baby, But you can't do that.
Speaker 1: So then he was suddenly at this point where he's
Speaker 1: like the queen good, racism bad? Right, because I have
Speaker 1: I can't say racism good. But then also colonialism is queen,
Speaker 1: but colon is also race. I'm out. I can't know
Speaker 1: catch me fucking drooling from my head on this this one. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take another quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and we we talked on yesterday's episode
Speaker 1: about how there was there's kind of a an uptick
Speaker 1: in ticket sales over the past couple of weekends. UH
Speaker 1: studios are starting to make decisions that suggests they think
Speaker 1: people will be back in the movies in the coming months. UH.
Speaker 1: God Zilla vers Kong back in January, moved it's for
Speaker 1: lease up to the end of March. Quiet Place two
Speaker 1: is coming in May up from September. Uh And yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems like I don't know why
Speaker 1: I'm not am I not? When I see that, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: is it gonna be safe? Like, I mean, I get
Speaker 1: that it's open, but I I don't, like, it really
Speaker 1: means nothing to me until I can be I know
Speaker 1: I'm safe, that others are safe, that it's not a
Speaker 1: high risk thing to like just be like, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as I want to see Guys over Verse
Speaker 1: con because that trailer looked tight as fun, but I
Speaker 1: want to also be safe. Mm hmm. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I guess it would be easy enough
Speaker 1: to stay masked up during a movie because you're not
Speaker 1: talking to anybody. Should not eat popcorn? Oh I can't eat.
Speaker 1: I can't drink my diet. Walk in with a mask
Speaker 1: full of popcorn just slowly gets closer to your face
Speaker 1: as you eat through it. Yeah, is there an industry
Speaker 1: yet for like ridiculous movie safety? PPE like to be
Speaker 1: like the fucking like the error the pneumatic popcorn feeder
Speaker 1: that will like blow popcorn into your mouth through your
Speaker 1: like shield mask. I don't know, Yeah, it just blows
Speaker 1: it up like one of those money grabbing things. It's
Speaker 1: like a tube and your tongue like whatever it can
Speaker 1: stick to in the tube, like you get the little
Speaker 1: get to keep that um and then you look like
Speaker 1: a creep when you're trying to watch a movie. One
Speaker 1: of the movies that I'm waiting to see if it
Speaker 1: gets moved up is the next Bond movie has been
Speaker 1: complete for a while starring uh, starring Daniel Craig and
Speaker 1: what people people thought this He wasn't even gonna be
Speaker 1: in this one. People are assuming this is gonna be
Speaker 1: his last Bond movie. And so you know, there are
Speaker 1: betting markets and have been for a couple of years
Speaker 1: on who's gonna be the next Bond And at various
Speaker 1: times they people have thought it was gonna be someone
Speaker 1: interesting like a dress elba Uh. Tom Hardy was the
Speaker 1: favorite at various points. Uh. Now they now they've got
Speaker 1: as the front runner on the betting markets, some guy
Speaker 1: like Sam something who is the star of Outlander. Um,
Speaker 1: I did not recognize him from anything like IM so
Speaker 1: I can't amagine, Like it just seems like the like
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, Okay, Tom Hardy, Tom Hittleston, like one
Speaker 1: of those like name actors, I could understand. But if
Speaker 1: you're just gonna go with a just random like white
Speaker 1: guy in the face of like so many more interesting
Speaker 1: and presumably lucrative options, like the dude from Britain has
Speaker 1: like shot up but he's five to one in the
Speaker 1: odds and this guy, uh Sam is five to two odds,
Speaker 1: Like he means a popular show though you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like I don't. I don't watch it a lot,
Speaker 1: but like I remember I did. I worked at like
Speaker 1: Tobias Menzies on something and like I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: know until I had to like figure out what the
Speaker 1: funk I was going to talk to him about it.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this this show fucking big with
Speaker 1: the times, and do Colin paper Nick takes on the
Speaker 1: Royal family? Yes, I don't, Yeah, I mean Sam, He's
Speaker 1: like again, it should be like do something different, as in,
Speaker 1: someone who is not a white cis gendered male, a
Speaker 1: row male. Do you produced you can go anywhere? I'm
Speaker 1: telling you people, everyone will go see the different kind
Speaker 1: of James Bond. Oh yeah, there's no and which is
Speaker 1: so funny, there's no data to suggest to these studio
Speaker 1: people that diversifying is going to backfire on you. In fact,
Speaker 1: all you have is money. All you have to say
Speaker 1: is I can make more moneis you greedy fucking people
Speaker 1: just also appearing and other thing where they were like
Speaker 1: acting as of James Bond, was this historical actual friend
Speaker 1: right right to protect? Yeah, and Roberty Lee. That seems
Speaker 1: to be the one we've talked before about how that
Speaker 1: seems to be the one lesson that Hollywood and like
Speaker 1: the film establishment refuses to learn and is that diversity
Speaker 1: actually makes them more money. Uh, that they still cling
Speaker 1: to these things like well, yeah, you know, but other
Speaker 1: countries are racists. So it's really I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we have to stop acting like
Speaker 1: they're making the wrong decision and rather they're making the
Speaker 1: conscious decisions to uphold the status quo, and they'll use
Speaker 1: just really again, it's like every racist person they use
Speaker 1: bad faith arguments to excuse their lack of movement, and
Speaker 1: this would be this seems just like the most naked
Speaker 1: uh Like, there's no excuse at this point if you
Speaker 1: just choose some unrecognizable uh to people who don't watch Outlander. Uh, dude,
Speaker 1: like who has no like doesn't do anything interesting with
Speaker 1: the character. Like that's you're you're choosing white supremacy over
Speaker 1: making money, essentially, sure, because it wasn't like wasn't there
Speaker 1: at a point even Gooding Jr. Was talked about like
Speaker 1: years ago, there's season with this like diverse James Bond,
Speaker 1: but never like anyone sucking anyone. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: considered diverse to have a blonde hair James Bond. When
Speaker 1: they chose to Craig, people like, what that's that's like
Speaker 1: more aryan. Um, he has to be Scottish adjacent, which
Speaker 1: I guess Sam would fulfill. We have a Scottish Bond again. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm team handsome dude from Bridgerton that he would be
Speaker 1: good dude. That dude can't even fuck. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: I don't think he can be James Bond just because
Speaker 1: he was pulling out and yeah, just there's a lot
Speaker 1: of game was weird. I'm just like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I like I like someone a little more edge to him,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, he seems pretty tortured in Bridgerton,
Speaker 1: you know. And again I'm I'm and I should give him.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the thing a child does where you only
Speaker 1: know an actor from one thing and you're like, that's
Speaker 1: who that person is in real life too, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Look, honestly, I'm not gonna get in the
Speaker 1: way of anybody. Just do something different, please, that's all
Speaker 1: I ask for. Yes, um, alright, let's talk about Wait
Speaker 1: quick question. What have you all been watching all of
Speaker 1: the New Bond films? Because I honestly fell off after
Speaker 1: like maybe the one where they were wearing like deal
Speaker 1: daleis those masks and like one of the things that
Speaker 1: I'll come off this That was the last one and
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to the end of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just stopped it on the plane. I was like, no, no, whatever,
Speaker 1: Well that was the last one, okay, And I think
Speaker 1: I missed the one. But is the one before that
Speaker 1: with Javier Bardem Yes, yeah, that the Skyfall? That Skyfall? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I didn't see the last one. The one though,
Speaker 1: is by uh Fukanawa or carry Is that right yet? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He's uh directing this one, so I'm I'm I would
Speaker 1: see this one for sure, see, And then that's how
Speaker 1: they get you because you're like, well, the director. Yeah,
Speaker 1: got the Japanese vibes, you know, so maybe he'll come
Speaker 1: for the director, stay for the white guy incremental Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly right. All right, let's talk about dog gate or
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what the funk they're
Speaker 1: gonna call this in the right wing media, but it is.
Speaker 1: It was the top story on bright Bart when it
Speaker 1: happened President Biden's dog bit someone and had to be
Speaker 1: uh moved to a different location because yeah, and I
Speaker 1: mean this is you would think. Actually, like my main
Speaker 1: takeaway from the story is not the you know, uh
Speaker 1: full of shitness of the right wing media, because like
Speaker 1: that is a given at this point. My main takeaway
Speaker 1: from this story that our writer JM submitted is that,
Speaker 1: like there must be something about being a dog at
Speaker 1: the White House that just turns you into a complete
Speaker 1: asshole because the record of dogs biting, so he's pointing
Speaker 1: out in this article, like this happens almost every White House,
Speaker 1: Like Obama uh took lots of ship because his dog
Speaker 1: right before he left office as dogs Sonny bit one
Speaker 1: of Malia's friends on the face, which that's not joke,
Speaker 1: a dog bite on the face. Like I know people
Speaker 1: who had to have a reconstructive surgery for dog bites
Speaker 1: on the face, like that's that's no joke. George W.
Speaker 1: Bush's dog Barney, bit two people, a PR person for
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics and a reporter um the Jenna Bush
Speaker 1: later described the dog as a real jerk. Oh no,
Speaker 1: but you know it's serious. Uh yeah, that like bringing
Speaker 1: up a conservative white woman language saying a dog's a
Speaker 1: real jerk. Is like that person mauled. That dog mauled
Speaker 1: like nine babies. It's a it's a monster. And then
Speaker 1: you go back to f DR. He had a German
Speaker 1: shepherd like Biden, named major like Biden, so that was
Speaker 1: clearly not accidental. Uh. He bit four people, including the
Speaker 1: British Prime Minister, actually ripped the seat off his pants
Speaker 1: like a cardon. Like. Reporters at the time made a
Speaker 1: big deal of the fact that they were just like,
Speaker 1: it's a Germany attacking Great Britain because it was a
Speaker 1: German shepherd and the you know that that was the
Speaker 1: big the big thing back then. Uh. And then and
Speaker 1: then Teddy Roosevelt's dog Pete routinely bit people who displeased him,
Speaker 1: including naval officers, cabinet Members Police Officers diploma. At at
Speaker 1: one point, he chased the French ambassador down the halls
Speaker 1: of the White House, caught him and tore again toward
Speaker 1: the backside of his pants off. Okay, hold on, is
Speaker 1: that really now? Now? This sounds like a weird bit
Speaker 1: and we're getting like hyper just like right, storms are
Speaker 1: just working with us. Uh, I don't know, every two
Speaker 1: two times a dog's ripping the butt off of dignitaries
Speaker 1: pants like some kind of like it's truly like a
Speaker 1: comic strip where the most embarrassing thing is like the
Speaker 1: dog bit his butt and the and his underwear was exposed.
Speaker 1: He won sad untold story here. It's the one dog
Speaker 1: Major who's young, who did the biting, But it's two
Speaker 1: dogs that are b that got deported from the White House.
Speaker 1: It's because of Major. So there's an older dog, Champ,
Speaker 1: who was like an old man, and he's paying the
Speaker 1: collective you know, men or for for majors. Uh accusations, right,
Speaker 1: that's the accusations, because that's what they are, right exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't see them their allegations. And honestly, shame on
Speaker 1: whoever he snitched on that dog. There should be there
Speaker 1: should be problems for that person, but like you know,
Speaker 1: there there is that relationship between owner and dog, and
Speaker 1: you know, like the presidency, we've also seen that it
Speaker 1: like ages people, like the Ring from Lord of the Rings,
Speaker 1: like it's just it's not good for the soul. So
Speaker 1: I just wonder, like, is a dog of a president
Speaker 1: just like inherently just goes goes dark on on the people? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think it's because like the
Speaker 1: environment is just overly stimulating, Like it's just like or
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know how the
Speaker 1: residential quarters work of the White House and where dogs
Speaker 1: live or don't live. But I felt like if I'm
Speaker 1: during the show the West Wing and a confused as
Speaker 1: dog being like all these people doing like a lot
Speaker 1: of walking and talking dog trailing behind and also like
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be deferential to the dog, and so that's
Speaker 1: probably not the best thing in the world. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the dog shitting on people's stuff and they
Speaker 1: can't say anything because it's dog. I'm sure to God
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch the dog if this does. It was
Speaker 1: in the shape of the presidential seal, like but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just the dog probably assumes that the dog is
Speaker 1: president like because it doesn't know any better, and everyone's
Speaker 1: just being like yo, like just treating it like it
Speaker 1: it runs ship. Uh yeah, and it's like, where's the
Speaker 1: nuclear football toy that you can play catch with me
Speaker 1: in the in the rose garden with? Right, And we
Speaker 1: don't have like because the media didn't you know, fully
Speaker 1: report honestly on on presidents before Nixon. Basically we we
Speaker 1: don't know how many presidents actually how many of those
Speaker 1: presidents were actually biting people, So that's always their possibility
Speaker 1: to well, I think we got all our Cremister cycle
Speaker 1: references in. I think, uh, we're good. Rap. It's been
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on a t d Z. Where
Speaker 1: can people find you and follow you? Man? I'm at
Speaker 1: Rafael Shimonov on Twitter UM, and you know I work
Speaker 1: with right now. I'm I'm just doing my thing there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell tell the people what you do. I'm an activist.
Speaker 1: I organized right now local elections and also UM holding
Speaker 1: Amazon accountable on a range of different things that we
Speaker 1: want them to be accountable for, from climate to work
Speaker 1: or justice UM too, small businesses and monopoly. Right, how
Speaker 1: many didn't what was like the number of where houses
Speaker 1: that were opened up during the pandemic in New York.
Speaker 1: It was something just like explosive. I was like six
Speaker 1: warehouses or something that. Yeah. They Yeah, Bezos over twenty
Speaker 1: years made a certain amount of money that he doubled
Speaker 1: during the pandemic personal wealth. Um, so there was this
Speaker 1: you know, uh, the profiteering, but also at the expense
Speaker 1: of the workers. So right now in best summer, Alabama,
Speaker 1: the workers are pretty amazingly organizing for union, um, and
Speaker 1: it has Amazon a little scared and Bezos a little scared.
Speaker 1: Where um, they actually convinced the city to to help
Speaker 1: them against it because the organizers were waiting for people
Speaker 1: at red lights to give them pamphlets, and they convinced
Speaker 1: the city to shorten the duration of the red lights
Speaker 1: so that the organizers couldn't share their information. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: mean to be fair to them, I mean, im from
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos perspective, these people are trying to make it
Speaker 1: so he has less money, you know. So that's freaky
Speaker 1: to me personally, Like what the funk Like, it's so
Speaker 1: it's paper, You're like, you're you're wasting the fucking time
Speaker 1: to be like, maybe this might cause car accidents. Who
Speaker 1: fucking knows, because we're changing the street like times. But
Speaker 1: I don't want people knowing about their attempt to unionize.
