Speaker 1: are so weird. The Potus flotis Scotus, row up, grow
Speaker 1: up sucking dorks. Yea, but I mean the olive garden
Speaker 1: we have. We have an olive garden as our Flotis house,
Speaker 1: So that is amazing. We have an olive garden. There

Speaker 1: all right, and we are thrilled to be joined in
Speaker 1: our third seat by the brilliant, the talented Joel Smith.
Speaker 1: All uh oh man, I'm awake. I'm at my computer.
Speaker 1: The gears are still turning up here in my brain.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna count it as a win. My therapist
Speaker 1: told me that I have to count all my little
Speaker 1: winds and I was like, it's really hard. Um, nothing
Speaker 1: feels like victory, and you like there are victories in there.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying. I'm trying to take Dr Sylvia's advice
Speaker 1: and and find the little victory. So making it work
Speaker 1: is everybody is anybody else like super tired lately past
Speaker 1: two weeks, like I've been, you know, tired from just
Speaker 1: quarantine and being ambient depression, but like I feel like
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks have been super duper. I've
Speaker 1: been like exhausted and having a hard time getting getting
Speaker 1: the old wheels turning. Uh. Yeah, I feel like my
Speaker 1: brain starts later and stops earlier. It's like by I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of like tweets to this effect
Speaker 1: that it's kind of comforting. But just like round six
Speaker 1: o'clock every day, everyone's like wow, times to start winding down,
Speaker 1: and then they realize it's six o'clock. Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: definitely in bed by eight last night, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm a grandma. Now that's it, and I'm fine with
Speaker 1: this transition. Yeah, it's like a throwback to early quarantine.
Speaker 1: It feels like where it's like you're either in bed
Speaker 1: by eight or you're up until four. Right. Right, We
Speaker 1: are going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment, Joel. First, we're gonna tell our
Speaker 1: listeners just a couple of the things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're starting to get some views into what the vaccine
Speaker 1: rollout plan is going to look like, so we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. We'll talk about where we're at with the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, the Trump enablers still claiming fraud, and what
Speaker 1: happened in Michigan a couple of days ago. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about Trump terminating yet another major member of his cabinet.
Speaker 1: He likes calling it terminating. We will talk Ben Shapiro,
Speaker 1: will talk the rise of ambient TV, all of that,
Speaker 1: plenty more to say. I was I was dreading as
Speaker 1: I was scrolling through the dock. I'm like, please say
Speaker 1: that Ben Shapiro's name is not going to crop up
Speaker 1: on the dock. It's weird because we like held off
Speaker 1: on it for a long time. It's no longer topical.
Speaker 1: But I do feel like we really missed out on
Speaker 1: an opportunity to Yeah, I mean it has to be done.
Speaker 1: It's you know, we all had to take that l
Speaker 1: and let that name escape our lips every so often.
Speaker 1: But my god, the man, the man expert we go
Speaker 1: to hear about what is to be a man? Um Joel,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are? This is so embarrassing. I was to
Speaker 1: your lovely Daniel before we got on. I have been
Speaker 1: researching a lot of Pokemon. You know your combinations? How
Speaker 1: do they work? This is my stress reliever? Now. I
Speaker 1: got a Nintendo for myself. My brother bought Pokemon and
Speaker 1: immediately I was like, oh, this is what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do for my stress relief. There's no uh, geopolitical analytics
Speaker 1: in here. I don't have to worry about race relations
Speaker 1: in this app. No one's making podcasts in here. It's
Speaker 1: just you just catch a Pokemon and if you find
Speaker 1: another Pokemon, and then you buy a cool outfit. And
Speaker 1: it's like the best fake retail therapy because I can't
Speaker 1: afford to do actual retail therapy anymore. Uh. You know, Pokemon,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Oh my god, that's incredible. We're surviving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so wait, what are some what are some particularly? What
Speaker 1: are what are the top Pokemon? I'm like, how do
Speaker 1: I asked the first follow up because I was gonna
Speaker 1: be like, so, I mean, so telling about these pokemons?
Speaker 1: Tell us more. Um, listen for the children out there,
Speaker 1: slash older adults. You never got out of their child favorites.
Speaker 1: UM really boosting up my my champ. He's a fighter,
Speaker 1: he's he's got big boxing gloves, he's ready to go.
Speaker 1: A slur puff, which looks like whipped cream, is really
Speaker 1: I like it because depending on what kind of fruit
Speaker 1: you give it, it turns into different pokemon, so you
Speaker 1: get a variety of the same thing. Um, and then
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of my elephant, but I
Speaker 1: got it and it's cool and I love it. And
Speaker 1: this is on switch yes, which again it's just it's
Speaker 1: amazing stress relief. It's really great when it's late and
Speaker 1: falling asleep, you just you pop it in and you
Speaker 1: get to bike all over little countrysides that look like London.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful that I read recently about there was like
Speaker 1: a big well and by big, i'm like YouTubers. I
Speaker 1: watched Disgusted at length, but there was like a big
Speaker 1: Pokemon scandal where bear with me. I guess Logan performed
Speaker 1: by Logan Paul. He's not the villain of the story. Shockingly,
Speaker 1: Logan Paul has a Pokemon dealer, which is a job
Speaker 1: you can have, and this Pokemon dealer dealt like arranged
Speaker 1: this big Pokemon deal and then these guys paid two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for a set of Pokemon cards, and
Speaker 1: then it turned out the Pokemon cards were fake, and
Speaker 1: now there's all these It was a Pokemon fraud scandal
Speaker 1: and I really loved watching it unfold because it was
Speaker 1: a bunch of du faces with too much money, being
Speaker 1: like well, the cards about to get here, and they
Speaker 1: were like live streaming it. They're like the most expensive
Speaker 1: Pokemon deal ever. And they opened the cards and they
Speaker 1: were like, well, these are clear to be fraudulant, just
Speaker 1: like regular paper stock that you would get staples. Yeah,
Speaker 1: was just a pile of printer paper. I'd just like
Speaker 1: to say that the game is thirty dollars right now.
Speaker 1: It's on sale. You don't have to for anything. There
Speaker 1: are no in app purchases, to the best of my knowledge.
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and save your money, you know, invest
Speaker 1: that in something, give it to a child in need. Please,
Speaker 1: don't spend that kind of money on paper. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. It simply doesn't. Don't do anything that Logan
Speaker 1: Paul has already done. But I thought it's been a
Speaker 1: rule of thumb for years. Good idea perfect guideline. I
Speaker 1: do wonder, like for sports cards and Pokemon cards and
Speaker 1: like physical things like that. I do feel like we're
Speaker 1: reaching a point where, I mean, we can make any
Speaker 1: video like make people seem like they're saying things that
Speaker 1: they haven't said, like perfect precision, and like you know,
Speaker 1: sneakers like that. One of the ways that people are
Speaker 1: getting quote counterfeit sneakers is like the people who make
Speaker 1: those in other countries are just like here, I'm going
Speaker 1: to make a couple more and they won't go through Nike,
Speaker 1: but you will get the exact same thing, and those
Speaker 1: are like counterfeit. But it's like what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like the philosophical question of like what counterfeit
Speaker 1: is is going to arise more and more, especially with
Speaker 1: regard to Pokemon cards. That seems like a pretty easy
Speaker 1: one to to knock off. But maybe maybe I'm missing something.
Speaker 1: I understand the collectible. You're definitely not missing anything. The
Speaker 1: collectible aspect of it is what's keeping people going, and
Speaker 1: like it's only it's the belief that's like keeping people connected, right,
Speaker 1: Like no mine is real, Like so it depends on
Speaker 1: how you value, you know, I guess the subject of
Speaker 1: the thing, because like with with baseball cards, was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was like a moment in history, like they printed
Speaker 1: it while this guy was in run, you know, and
Speaker 1: now that's where he retired, So there are no new
Speaker 1: base though if you really like that player, then you
Speaker 1: have to have that card. That I totally I somewhat
Speaker 1: understand that I don't quite understand, like to your point,
Speaker 1: Like especially the use of a Pokemon card is like
Speaker 1: in a game, so as long as you have the
Speaker 1: correct information in front of you can play the game.
Speaker 1: So it's bizarre. But you know, I also know people
Speaker 1: spend like a ton of money on like rare Monopoly sets,
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I think when you have too
Speaker 1: much money, you're just looking for something to brag about,
Speaker 1: and like I bought this like incredible rare thing, and
Speaker 1: now you have to value me and my collection as well.
Speaker 1: It's a weird cyclical thing. Like we're talking before we
Speaker 1: started recording about the Donkeys market, the dunkin Donuts shop
Speaker 1: that they just opened that has tandem bicycles, It has
Speaker 1: a Dunkin Donuts bathrobe like immediately sold out, like everybody
Speaker 1: just bought all of the Dunkin Donuts bathrobes. Um. But
Speaker 1: that's where I mean. I couldn't you not just to
Speaker 1: jump to their defense as I always will for Duncan Donuts.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're marketing. It's going to sound like
Speaker 1: I'm being paid to say this, I'm not. I think
Speaker 1: their marketing has gotten so weird and savvy recently where
Speaker 1: they're like Okay, we're an old ass like doughnut brand
Speaker 1: that is mostly known for like really mean moms going
Speaker 1: to like that is their consumer base. But then they're
Speaker 1: just kind of like they're they're definitely trying to hit
Speaker 1: the teen market because they gave Charlie Demelio her own
Speaker 1: Duncan beverage and as a regular Duncan customer, I'm a
Speaker 1: very mean mom. Uh, but like there's now teenagers at
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts all the time. It's like you can tell
Speaker 1: Charlie Damelio brought her fucking TikTok base to Duncan Donuts
Speaker 1: and now they're releasing merch like a sneaker drops, Like
Speaker 1: it's just they're trying. They're they're trying some stuff out.
Speaker 1: Seems to be working. Also, the Charlie Damelio drink has
Speaker 1: so much dairy in it that i'd like just for
Speaker 1: young people, for the young's. It's for teenagers only. At
Speaker 1: that's so interesting that Duncan Donut. It seems almost random
Speaker 1: that Duncan Donuts is the brand that like got this culture.
Speaker 1: Like McDonald's tried really hard with their like Travis Scott
Speaker 1: Meal and yeah, definitely sold out in a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: Like the children loved it. And I live across the
Speaker 1: street from a McDonald's. There was a line around the
Speaker 1: block for like probably a solid week to get into
Speaker 1: McDonald's to get the stupid meal which is already on
Speaker 1: the menu. It's yeah, I'm so confused, wait that for
Speaker 1: the box, Like how would you sell out of the meal?
Speaker 1: Because is there is there a meal? Like is there
Speaker 1: a box that comes with it? Okay? So the Travis
Speaker 1: thing came in two parts, right, So first there was
Speaker 1: online merch right, so they had like the jackets and stuff.
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff sold out. But then McDonald's
Speaker 1: had a shortage of like the burger. I think with
Speaker 1: some of the condiments that go on his specific burger,
Speaker 1: they were like running out. They couldn't keep it in
Speaker 1: stock because so many people had come through to purchase
Speaker 1: this burger. I didn't get the meal, but I do
Speaker 1: think it came its own like practice jack style box,
Speaker 1: but don't keep that. It had food in its right,
Speaker 1: like just gonna smell like a cheese burger for like
Speaker 1: untouched by human hands. My favorite product they had was
Speaker 1: a cactus jack McDonald's lunch trees, you know the brown
Speaker 1: Trees and he's McDonald's. Yeah, that was checking a Biber
Speaker 1: like fifteen bucks, and I was like, this is tempting,
Speaker 1: but no, so steal it for no bucks because those
Speaker 1: things are the easiest things. These kinds of grips are
Speaker 1: not gonna work forever, but they're definitely working right now.
Speaker 1: I have nothing to look forward to. I think yeast
Speaker 1: that was like half of the cell was like something new. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I have to have it. It's just new. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's just interesting that we are. It's almost like we're
Speaker 1: going into opposite or seemingly contradictory directions, whereas one like
Speaker 1: consumers or like materialism is breaking down like you can
Speaker 1: replicate anything easily, and then on the other hand, we're
Speaker 1: like going super hard on like Okay, there are only
Speaker 1: five McDonald's bathrobes that we all need to get because
Speaker 1: it has the special tag in it. And it's it's
Speaker 1: almost like we're having a end of materialism like panic
Speaker 1: moment where we have to like really dig in our
Speaker 1: heels and be like this matters. Somebody who just bought
Speaker 1: two suits from Beyonce, Yeah, where will I wear these suits?
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere literally, anywhere, not to be her,
Speaker 1: not to be, but I have these suits. Later I'll
Speaker 1: come clean. I bought the Duncan duvet. It will be
Speaker 1: on my on my bed come Christmas. Cozy. Very cool.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Joel over it?
Speaker 1: It's hard to say what is overrated right now because
Speaker 1: everything that I like. If I do go outside, I'm like,
Speaker 1: my god, the sky is blue today, Like I think,
Speaker 1: I want to say the news, but that's really vital,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be the kind of person
Speaker 1: that ships on journalist. You know what I got? The
Speaker 1: PlayStation five is overrated. Here's why I can't get my
Speaker 1: hands on one, and so I choose to believe it's
Speaker 1: underrated so that I don't have fomo. Hell yeah, it's
Speaker 1: too here's my review. Looks too big, definitely too large
Speaker 1: to fit on anybody's normal shelf. But it also is
Speaker 1: four K and it's it's gonna have Cyberpunk seventy seven
Speaker 1: on it, which is a game I've been looking forward
Speaker 1: to since. And we were supposed to have in April
Speaker 1: and then again in August, I think, and then they
Speaker 1: had a November launch date, but they pushed it back
Speaker 1: again to December. I the way I covet this machine.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. Um, so yeah, overrated. I don't need it. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Every time I see a new gaming console, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a gamer, but so I just flashed forward
Speaker 1: to like thinking five to seven years in the future,
Speaker 1: what it's just going to be on all of my
Speaker 1: friends mantles like howling, and like the way that PS
Speaker 1: fours are right now where you walk into your house,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, do you have a PS four? Because
Speaker 1: something's burning and I can't hear anything. Ship. How are
Speaker 1: people dealing with the height? Are people just treating it
Speaker 1: like a piece of furniture that you just like have
Speaker 1: on the floor next to your TV. Or I've seen
Speaker 1: images of people just shoving it on the shelf, which
Speaker 1: is funding to another shelf, is sort of like tilted
Speaker 1: and lopsided and attack hanging off. Some people have, you know,
Speaker 1: industrious people who don't let the pandemic get them down,
Speaker 1: have built personalized shelves that like sitting next to their
Speaker 1: floating TV so it looks nice or whatever. I'll probably
Speaker 1: just put it on the floor. It's right there, It's fine.
Speaker 1: It kind of looks like an air purifier. Yeah it does. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're like the biggest WiFi extender or WiFi router of
Speaker 1: all time. It's sleek. Yeah, so sleep for an obelisk.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Oh? My god?
Speaker 1: Getting gifts and wrapping gifts and thinking about gifts and
Speaker 1: choosing the right wrapping peper I have submitted to the
Speaker 1: Christmas season. I've never This is the first year in
Speaker 1: my entire adult life, and I'm like, I can actually
Speaker 1: get gifts for people I love, like real, not cheap.
Speaker 1: You know, We're not talking Starbucks gift cards for the homies,
Speaker 1: like real stuff I put thought into. But then also
Speaker 1: my my pot of people that I've been hanging out
Speaker 1: with during this time have decided to go like full Christmas.
Speaker 1: So we're doing like a seven course meal from the
Speaker 1: French laundry. Uh yeah, we're gonna like we're gonna dare
Speaker 1: you how dare you? No? We uh, you know. They
Speaker 1: just really like to cook. They were the people that
Speaker 1: were read at the top. They the things they've done
Speaker 1: during quarantine or they got like the wine thing. It's
Speaker 1: like I don't know what you call it, but it's
Speaker 1: like so you don't have to open your bottle of wine.
Speaker 1: It's got a long needle that goes into the cork
Speaker 1: so that you don't ever have to like verify it.
Speaker 1: Like it never reaches air, so you can like poor
Speaker 1: glass and you put it back in your fridge. But
Speaker 1: the wine stays corked. It's still fresh. It's a really full,
Speaker 1: long needle that goes inside. Yeah, it's amazing. We got yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know all about Yeah, we're really slowly. What you're describing,
Speaker 1: Joel is a quirk screw. It's a long, narrow screwy
Speaker 1: thing that is used to open bottles of wine. I'm
Speaker 1: an idiot. It's like, typically for Christmas we do like,
Speaker 1: you know, a giant roast and blood. They're usually big,
Speaker 1: like large events, like twenty plus people. But this year
Speaker 1: we're sticking to the seven. We've been hanging out. We
Speaker 1: like know each other, um and uh yeah, so that
Speaker 1: we're gonna do all the all the different versions from
Speaker 1: the French laundry and big Christmas tree, real Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: Cut down a tree and so I got really pretty
Speaker 1: wrapping paper and I'm gonna take photos. It's gifts. I
Speaker 1: have to focus on the positive. And so this is
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. It's just like that for my loves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how are you cutting down? Where are you going to
Speaker 1: cut down the tree? Yeah? Oh they're doing that, and
Speaker 1: I'm not going outside touch things or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It's gross. When they bring it in and clean it up,
Speaker 1: then I will help make it pretty and decorate somewhere.
Speaker 1: I'll let you. I'll let you know, because it does
Speaker 1: seem like a fun activity if you're an outdoorsy woods
Speaker 1: person or have children, and you're like, here's an experience
Speaker 1: you won't forget. I'm trying to. This is my first
Speaker 1: Christmas in like, uh living with someone, and so we're like,
Speaker 1: we need to get decorations and stuff. And I'm really
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out a way to set like
Speaker 1: safely really like make it Christmas in our apartment. It's exciting.
Speaker 1: I don't know where how to do it, though, because
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of costco Oh my gosh, Okay, no, don't
Speaker 1: I again, Like I I'm horrified of COVID, like very
Speaker 1: very scared because I already had like breathing issues and
Speaker 1: all kind stuff. So I'm like, no, I went to
Speaker 1: paper Source. Paper Source has Hella wrapping paper, like really
Speaker 1: cute like little thingies for your packet. Like I got
Speaker 1: little wreaths that are just little bells and reason you
Speaker 1: just stick them on the package and it's cute. But
Speaker 1: also they have like these little um like string lights
Speaker 1: with little glass bottles with like little Santa's or little lighthouses,
Speaker 1: and there's snow and scenery. They have all these all
Speaker 1: tiny cute light up things and they're bright and they're fun.
Speaker 1: My favorite or a Botox ornament that's just it's kitchy
Speaker 1: and fun. I think Paper Source is gonna be a
Speaker 1: good place on the Hallmark store. You can order online
Speaker 1: Hallmark if you if you want the Granny slash mom
Speaker 1: vibe field to come in, that should be your store.
Speaker 1: Sure always need a touch of that. Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to feel like your grandma could stop by and say hey,
Speaker 1: but also please don't come over to my house. Granny
Speaker 1: have bongs everywhere. You're not going to approve you. Guys,
Speaker 1: have a Christmas playlist that you like, start putting into
Speaker 1: rotation on the holiday. I live with my brothers and
Speaker 1: they do not like Christmas. They're very crunches about it. Uh,
Speaker 1: they don't want to even those hearts grow two sizes. Listen.
Speaker 1: I tried to on Christmas TV shows, like you know,
Speaker 1: like the Christmas themed episodes, and they were like, we don't,
Speaker 1: we don't want it. Christmas music has to go off immediately,
Speaker 1: so uh, doth in my headphones. Dolly Partner's Christmas album
Speaker 1: is pretty great. Obviously, Mariah Carey is the standard. Uh.
Speaker 1: Any African choir is going to blow the house down
Speaker 1: many like African quaters worth of old school gospel music.
Speaker 1: That's pretty great. Um, and I think it doesn't Ariana
Speaker 1: have Ariana was a good one. Yeah, the whole album
Speaker 1: or a good song, whole album, I think. I think,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me look this up. I did do Christmas.
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to this CD that my dad
Speaker 1: had is like a punk Christmas album called The Edge
Speaker 1: of Christmas. Uh, and it's really hard to find out,
Speaker 1: but it was. It's really good and it has like
Speaker 1: Pat Benatar, Cape Bush, I've got it up here, uh,
Speaker 1: the Ramones, the waitresses like it's just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like dad dad punk Christmas album and that always
Speaker 1: makes me feel at home. And then my mom was
Speaker 1: like Kenny g like welcome to Christmas. It's Kenny g
Speaker 1: That is absolutely my experience too. Fully, Christmas sounds like
Speaker 1: a soprano sacks. I don't make the rules. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: Michael Bolton Christmas songs that are like other people's Christmas
Speaker 1: songs or whatever, but just in Michael Bolton's voice. I
Speaker 1: want new Christmas music in my rotation this year, though,
Speaker 1: because especially because I'm starting to celebrate right now, it's
Speaker 1: like I need to find in certain new stuff into
Speaker 1: the rotation. Dolly Parton's Holly Jolly Christmas. Uh, it's really
Speaker 1: coming in for me because I like to pretend you're saying,
Speaker 1: have a Holly Dolly Christmas, and I just imagine I'm
Speaker 1: at Dolly Land just really getting it in. We're singing songs.
Speaker 1: I just love Dolly Parton. Guys'samo Watch nine five. It's
Speaker 1: the perfect movie make you feel empowered and capable. Al Right, guys,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk the dreaded news. And we're back. And I was
Speaker 1: going to talk about like vaccine rollout plans, but should
Speaker 1: we just like review more Dunkin Donuts Shop Birch. The
Speaker 1: hoodies looked incredible, but I snoozed and I lost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do look pretty cool. Um subtle, very subtle. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What I love about the Duncan merges that it's subtle.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows, you know. It's like, just set up a
Speaker 1: recurring donation instead. So the vaccine rollout plans are starting
Speaker 1: to be revealed. Apparently Phase one could start as early
Speaker 1: as November. Phase two likely to be January or February.
Speaker 1: Phase three could be April. And this is how they've
Speaker 1: broken out the phases. So Phase one A high risk
Speaker 1: health care workers and first responders. Phase one B high
Speaker 1: risk or uh CO morbid conditions. Older adults in congregate
Speaker 1: crowded residences. Um, I think that means like people in
Speaker 1: old folks homes. Yeah. Uh, I thought I was in
Speaker 1: business there for a second, because I'm old and my
Speaker 1: house is crowded with a bunch of kidship. Um, so
Speaker 1: those are the people who are going to get it
Speaker 1: this year and soon. So that's exciting. I'm pumped for them. Um.
Speaker 1: Phase two teachers, critical risk workers like in essential industries,
Speaker 1: moderate risk CO morbid conditions, homeless shelters, group homes, jail's prisons,
Speaker 1: other older adults. And then, and as I was reading this.
Speaker 1: I was also made aware of an article in the
Speaker 1: Daily Beast that was just it was about like a
Speaker 1: bunch of there's a conspiracy spreading around a community in
Speaker 1: Utah because they noticed that the like this hospital that
Speaker 1: was supposedly full of COVID patients, the parking lot was
Speaker 1: empty and they were like, ah, we know they're not.
Speaker 1: There's nobody in there, and yeah, that was all the
Speaker 1: evidence they needed, and they kept trying to break into
Speaker 1: this I see you to prove it wasn't full of
Speaker 1: COVID patients because the parking lots are empty. Um, we're
Speaker 1: got him. God got their ashes saying people who have
Speaker 1: to go to work, like just bless you because the
Speaker 1: amount of things you have to deal with are like
Speaker 1: from grocery store workers who have to deal with people
Speaker 1: literally yelling in their face without a mask because like,
Speaker 1: can you please just help keep our store a safe
Speaker 1: space as possible to you? You know, the guys that
Speaker 1: were counting the votes, who had to deal with actual
Speaker 1: death threats to this kind of stuff. It's bonkers. Like
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to survive a pandemic. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine having to do all this going
Speaker 1: above and beyond. Yeah, I think we might be just
Speaker 1: too dumb for this whole thing. Maybe, so let's let's
Speaker 1: speaking of too dumb for this whole thing. The President
Speaker 1: is still claiming fraud on Twitter that he won Michigan. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the mainstream media has
Speaker 1: chosen to just like kind of dismiss and ignore and like,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, yeah, what were you gonna say?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it's like I'm kind of of
Speaker 1: two minds about that. Like, I feel like it's it
Speaker 1: is a better use of the media's time to focus
Speaker 1: on transition team stuff to be But I mean, is
Speaker 1: the media going to be critical enough of a transition team.
Speaker 1: Of course they're not going to be, that's not the thing.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's like, I feel like ignoring
Speaker 1: him is the uh instinctual Well, finally, great, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: But then I don't know what the what the whatever
Speaker 1: potential backlash factor is for having done that, because in
Speaker 1: a way, that just reinforces Trump's worldview. But I don't
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't know. Yeah, I just feel
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of counter um, you know, educating
Speaker 1: that needs to be done like that every time he
Speaker 1: claims that there's voter fraud, like that is doing incalculable
Speaker 1: damage to like the people who voted for him, and
Speaker 1: they're like faith in the country and the institutions, and
Speaker 1: that's not going away. And I feel like our answer
Speaker 1: so far has just been to like kind of throw
Speaker 1: up our hands and be like, yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what to like, I I don't
Speaker 1: have an answer to that. But it's like I was
Speaker 1: reading a article about, you know, people heading into the
Speaker 1: election who are experts on peaceful resistance in like authoritarian cups,
Speaker 1: and they were just like in America, like preparing American
Speaker 1: people to resist if the Trump administration like tried to
Speaker 1: do essentially what it has done. And they it's like
Speaker 1: all the bad things that they were predicting and worried
Speaker 1: about are happening, but we're just kind of like ignoring
Speaker 1: it and hoping to just sort of power through or
Speaker 1: like yeah, I don't know, Yeah, it's really I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's really hard to know like who did trust and
Speaker 1: whose word to kind of take on these topics because
Speaker 1: it's like I don't know about you guys. But I
Speaker 1: didn't know very much about coups before two months ago.
Speaker 1: I was not an expert in cou's and like there,
Speaker 1: it seems like there is still like a fair amount
Speaker 1: of people who are saying it's a possibility and then
Speaker 1: others that are saying, like, it's not going to happen,
Speaker 1: we need to just like move forward. Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: There was like a fair amount of I don't know
Speaker 1: if you all talked about it on Zeitgeist, but there
Speaker 1: was like a fair amount of controversy with like a
Speaker 1: Van Jones talk that was published where he was like,
Speaker 1: here's how a who's going to happen, and people who
Speaker 1: know more about who's where we're kind of like, no,
Speaker 1: it isn't. But it ends up I don't know like it.
Speaker 1: But even so it's it's hard to know whose word
Speaker 1: to kind of take there because I'm so uh coup illiterate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, we we have never experienced one as like
Speaker 1: is that like we can most of us can turn
Speaker 1: to our parents and be like what did you survive
Speaker 1: or how would we do this or whatever? Um. I
Speaker 1: do feel like the most comforting thing is listening to
Speaker 1: people who have survived cups right because to me, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like as a as a normal person,
Speaker 1: I don't have very much control over what will happen.
Speaker 1: I can be enraged, I could march, I could donate
Speaker 1: some time somewhere, but it feels like a power very
Speaker 1: much above me and beyond me. And so I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: how if if the worst were to happen, how would
Speaker 1: I prepare? Like what's the mindset I need to be in?
Speaker 1: And it seems like most people were like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: your daily life will not change. You'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: there was like some fighting over there. There are some
Speaker 1: new restrictions on what I can do at work, but
Speaker 1: for the most part, you're still just trying to survive.
Speaker 1: Hopefully bread doesn't cost like five grand, and you just
Speaker 1: keep it pushing until until change happens. It's like hearing
Speaker 1: words okay, cool, cool. So you know we're just gonna
Speaker 1: try and make the best step of it as a citizen.
Speaker 1: Look out for my neighbors, you know, make sure my
Speaker 1: parents were okay, and keep going. I yeah, trying to
Speaker 1: worry or or figure out all of that is a lot.
Speaker 1: But I also think, to your point, Jamie, like nobody
Speaker 1: truly knows what's going to happen. It seems in the
Speaker 1: little research I've done that it would not be possible
Speaker 1: for this guy to do it, but that a lot
Speaker 1: of what he's doing sets up an opportunity for someone
Speaker 1: smarter and more prepared to do it in the future.
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what It's not the next two
Speaker 1: months that scare me. It's the next like eight years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just weakening the institutions and like the pillars that our
Speaker 1: entire democracy rests on our being kind of just weakened
Speaker 1: to the point of it seems like it won't take
Speaker 1: very much. And this article, Erica Chenwi is the person's
Speaker 1: name who's like the expert on peaceful resistance. There wasn't
Speaker 1: a lot of research on, you know, doing doing the
Speaker 1: numbers of how often peaceful resistance works when there's like
Speaker 1: an authoritarian takeover, and they went in and did the
Speaker 1: numbers and found that it's like two times more effective
Speaker 1: when the resistors are using peace than if they use
Speaker 1: violence when they're resisting an authoritarian takeover. And Eric at
Speaker 1: Chenewith definitely worth paying attention to. But it just it
Speaker 1: does seem like we just don't have the language and
Speaker 1: the institutions to deal with us, Like the mainstream media
Speaker 1: is certainly not equipped to deal with what I feel
Speaker 1: like Trump's entire you know, strategy is built on combating
Speaker 1: the things the mainstream media does, like how they talk
Speaker 1: about these things, and the mainstream media is response at
Speaker 1: this point has been to just kind of throw up
Speaker 1: their hands and be like, well, we're not covering him,
Speaker 1: we're not talking to him anymore, um, which again, like
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's that might be the right
Speaker 1: thing to do. I just it just feels like then
Speaker 1: we have this thing metastasizing in the dark that we're
Speaker 1: not paying attention to, and that's scary, I think from
Speaker 1: a long term perspective. Well, Joel, speaking to your point,
Speaker 1: I think that, yeah, like it makes uh, it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like a present thing for the next two months,
Speaker 1: but I think that, yeah, like what a what a
Speaker 1: lot of us are going to have to do, like
Speaker 1: with ourselves and then with our families or whatever our
Speaker 1: circle is is like you know, not to like be
Speaker 1: like a don't take your foot off the gas, like
Speaker 1: we all know that, but stay like actually educate ourselves
Speaker 1: so that you know this time eight years from now,
Speaker 1: we do understand um what might happen, and we would
Speaker 1: understand how to actively resist it if something happened, um,
Speaker 1: because it makes total sense that the majority of the
Speaker 1: country would have no idea what to do um right now.
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's something that we should educate
Speaker 1: ourselves and and definitely not completely ignore. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's the other end of the of the mainstream media
Speaker 1: problem is that you know, it's great to not be
Speaker 1: reporting on Trump. That is like a huge relief, But
Speaker 1: then on on the on the other end of that,
Speaker 1: I really don't like the tone of like and now
Speaker 1: we're back to normal, and it's like that is it's
Speaker 1: fucking so frustrating where they're like the third Obama administration
Speaker 1: has begun, and you're just like, that's not no one
Speaker 1: asked for that. We need to like talk about ship
Speaker 1: And Yeah, there's definitely a brand of liberal that's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank god, everything's good again, Like he's gonna come in
Speaker 1: and so. And I think it's exacerbated by the discovery
Speaker 1: of potentially to vaccines working at everyone's like great, we're
Speaker 1: gonna shoot people up and we're gonna get back to
Speaker 1: work and the economy is gonna bounce back, And it's
Speaker 1: like such a sunny disposition ignoring it's sort of everything
Speaker 1: that happened over the summer and like this whole like
Speaker 1: emotional upheaval we had, and then and then to also
Speaker 1: ignore like there were literally people begging us to stop
Speaker 1: counting votes like that is horrifying. That is the very
Speaker 1: base of our democracy is like everyone gets a vote,
Speaker 1: and they were like, nope, stop counting. Don't like it.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're definitely going to have to deal
Speaker 1: with so much more of these deeper issues. But it's
Speaker 1: very American of us to be like, well, our big
Speaker 1: problems are solved and we're just gonna have to come
Speaker 1: to the middle on everything else, right, which is like
Speaker 1: proven time and time again almost every administration in our
Speaker 1: lifetimes to be an ineffective solution that doesn't help, Like
Speaker 1: that helps barely anyone. It mostly helps capitalists. Uh and
Speaker 1: and in fact, harms are most disenfranchised typically. I mean
Speaker 1: it's those it's the administrations that gave us the three
Speaker 1: strike rule. I was like, oh, well we'll come to
Speaker 1: the middle. You get three times and then we lock
Speaker 1: you away for life. Like, what the hell, I just
Speaker 1: I feel I'm horrified though, we're going to see a
Speaker 1: lot of those same types of policies coming up again
Speaker 1: as a way to like, we just we just want
Speaker 1: everyone to be at piece as opposed to it's actually
Speaker 1: resolve some of these issues, right. I also, we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about this in the vaccine section, but I also
Speaker 1: kind of I I worry about vaccine rollouts. I know
Speaker 1: that a lot of people do, but I just worry
Speaker 1: about I mean, in the phases being described, I feel
Speaker 1: like there are not frontline communities being prioritized. There's not
Speaker 1: like the phase for all others. Uh. Category kind of
Speaker 1: baffles me because wouldn't you. I mean, I think it
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to prioritize frontline communities and
Speaker 1: communities where COVID is most prevalent and where people are
Speaker 1: most at risk. I don't. I hope that Phase four
Speaker 1: gets a little more fucking specific and Phase three as well,
Speaker 1: where they're just like um, all others, because I feel
Speaker 1: like when we say general all others, that means that
Speaker 1: I'm picturing a blimp. They're just dropping the vaccines. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like where we just like, I don't know sending
Speaker 1: those creepy Postmates robots to people's doors like the vaccine. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't trust any American administration
Speaker 1: to do this well in a way that prioritizes communities
Speaker 1: most affected by COVID. And uh yeah, one of the
Speaker 1: big stories that happened just to talk about specifics really
Speaker 1: quickly and just where we're at with the final days
Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. So Michigan's date to certify their
Speaker 1: vote came up yesterday or two days ago, and they
Speaker 1: had two Republican like official canvassers who were refusing to
Speaker 1: serve deify what was clearly an okay vote because they
Speaker 1: were being racist. It was an area of Detroit that
Speaker 1: had largely voted for Biden, and they we're using these
Speaker 1: like things about matching signatures to just raise questions. And
Speaker 1: then people were rightly like, this is racist. You're being racist.
Speaker 1: You're going to go down in history as like having
Speaker 1: just basically disenfranchised a entire community of people for your
Speaker 1: own purposes. And they were like, ah, yeah, good point
Speaker 1: and reversed course. And then Trump was like they've been abused, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they Trump and the Trump administration are acting like
Speaker 1: that was violence. Just pointing out that their grandchildren will
Speaker 1: know how racist they're um, as opposed to just telling
Speaker 1: them the truth about the consequences of their action. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the idea that calling something racist is it's
Speaker 1: the problem and not the actual racist act. And the
Speaker 1: idea that like, oh, we didn't know, we didn't know
Speaker 1: it would be racist to suppress a vote. What Also,
Speaker 1: I could not hold out this long, like I I
Speaker 1: don't want to give you know, Trump the impression that
Speaker 1: anything he does is impressive. But it's wild to me
Speaker 1: that you lost this bad and I'm still like, no,
Speaker 1: several more lawsuits. I think I follow a lawyer in that.
Speaker 1: You guys think there were like one, like there's one
Speaker 1: court case? Was like yes, and twenty five losses for trying.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't have the stamina, the energy, especially
Speaker 1: when we know for a fact that they have no
Speaker 1: money left. It's a little it's a little impressive to
Speaker 1: just be like I will drag this whole society down
Speaker 1: with me. Hell, hath no fury like me angry? It's
Speaker 1: sucking unreal. I mean, yeah, And the way that the
Speaker 1: way that he's talking about Michigan too. It's like you could.
Speaker 1: It's just so I've we've been saying this for years,
Speaker 1: but like it's just so fucking flagrant, Like he couldn't
Speaker 1: be more clear that he's like I'm trying to suppress
Speaker 1: black votes. That's what I'm trying to do, and I'm
Speaker 1: doing it in all caps. Uh. It's just uh. And
Speaker 1: then I I self harmed this morning. I went through
Speaker 1: some replies in under one of the Michigan tweets and
Speaker 1: like it's just it's just like Twitter shell like eggs
Speaker 1: doing bad math and they're they're like there was this
Speaker 1: whole threat I followed that was like, uh, well more
Speaker 1: people because he was saying more people voted in Detroit
Speaker 1: than live in Detroit, which is a single Google away
Speaker 1: from knowing that's not true. And then when people replied
Speaker 1: with that's not true. Here is like the first thing
Speaker 1: that comes up when you search how many registered voters
Speaker 1: versus how many voted, They're like, well, the rest of
Speaker 1: those people are children. And so it was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it was these weird Twitter eggs suggesting that
Speaker 1: the population of Detroit is like sixty five children. It
Speaker 1: was just really bizarre. I don't like it's just there's
Speaker 1: no logic to it. It makes my head hurt, and
Speaker 1: it's just cruel and awful and I'm I'm tired. I mean,
Speaker 1: so the the good news is that there is you know,
Speaker 1: we are coming up on the time when uh these
Speaker 1: votes are basically due to be certified, and at that point,
Speaker 1: like Michigan was even three, so they're doing it a
Speaker 1: little bit early. Pennsylvania eleven twenty three, Wisconsin is the
Speaker 1: first of December, so like after these dates, that's like
Speaker 1: when it's due. Georgia is the so that's in two days.
Speaker 1: Arizona ist um. Once those have been certified, they really
Speaker 1: don't have like I think a lot of people think
Speaker 1: it's purely theoretical at this point, the idea that these
Speaker 1: are going to be reversed, But as we saw with
Speaker 1: those canvassers, like, it's not purely theoretical. So you know,
Speaker 1: these are all looming deadlines that once we get past those,
Speaker 1: if we get past those, the country will I guess
Speaker 1: be in better shape. But again, it just it won't
Speaker 1: change the fact that they are doing the the absolute
Speaker 1: most to exhaust us, to just tear down the fabric
Speaker 1: of UM, the good parts of the country. Um, it
Speaker 1: really is that I'm finding it more and more exhausting
Speaker 1: dealing with the whole they accuse us of doing the
Speaker 1: thing that they're doing, like the Kayleie mcnahney saying that
Speaker 1: telling people to wear masks around Thanksgiving holiday is Orwellian
Speaker 1: and then them saying that it's like violent and racist
Speaker 1: to call someone racist. It's so frustrating. Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: why I'm tired. May like, how do you have these two?
Speaker 1: Like I there are, to the very best of my knowledge,
Speaker 1: no Trump supporters in my family, so I haven't had
Speaker 1: to have like any of these challenging conversations of like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And look at what you're but
Speaker 1: I don't even know how Like I used to be,
Speaker 1: like back in a prop eight world, I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: make sure you talk to your family members about this,
Speaker 1: like if you're a queer, you know you can explain
Speaker 1: it and just to talk to them about why these
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, I don't even want to throw
Speaker 1: somebody in that fire because having seen some of these
Speaker 1: people try to like debate online with their neighbors or
Speaker 1: family or whatever, Like I don't know how to have
Speaker 1: that conversation if you're absolutely disinterested in listening to anything factual,
Speaker 1: like a cloth over your face. It's not like or
Speaker 1: well Ian what it's Yeah, it's like the why are
Speaker 1: you hitting yourself defense? But they're not even like using
Speaker 1: our hand to hit ourselves. They're just hitting us and
Speaker 1: then saying stop hitting me. It's it's the real mind
Speaker 1: fuck that's exhausting. Like we're taught like it sounds exhausting
Speaker 1: to have to rewire your brain in that way. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I don't I I don't know. I had a thought,
Speaker 1: but it's gone now. I actually felt envy for the
Speaker 1: people in the book because I was like, wait, so
Speaker 1: we're well I and let me just like look at
Speaker 1: what she could possibly But it's it's much easier to
Speaker 1: combat in that book because they aren't doing the thing
Speaker 1: like big brothers, not being like you're a big brother
Speaker 1: in me Like it's it's just like a big camera
Speaker 1: at Yeah, all you have to do is just be like, no, look,
Speaker 1: this is the thing they're doing. But it's the saddest
Speaker 1: description of our current timeline. Just like, God, what if
Speaker 1: we were welly and I thought it would be a
Speaker 1: lot easier to deal with. Yeah, it's just more straightford
Speaker 1: that I do. I mean it does. It's it's because
Speaker 1: it's like most it's such it's such a daunting task
Speaker 1: that requires a level of empathy that I personally would
Speaker 1: not really demand of anybody. Uh, but the like de
Speaker 1: radicalizing someone's mind after living in that mindset and just
Speaker 1: like doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on just like complete bullshit
Speaker 1: for this. I I really hope that there is like
Speaker 1: some sort of de radicalization movement that takes off that
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, leave me out of it,
Speaker 1: you can go. But but I I I'm curious, it's
Speaker 1: like what is the long game? Like once Trump is
Speaker 1: out of office? What is the long game for? Like
Speaker 1: what what what happens when no one is stoking that
Speaker 1: every single day and validating it and what yeah, where
Speaker 1: does it go out office? I think it's when Trump
Speaker 1: is no longer on the planet, Like to be honest,
Speaker 1: like I just think that he is going to be
Speaker 1: uh a powerful like basically anti universe president, like president
Speaker 1: anti like bizarro world president where he's like still universe.
Speaker 1: That's a really dystopian prise, like an antimatter version of
Speaker 1: the president where like everything the president does, he will
Speaker 1: have a take that is the opposite of that and
Speaker 1: undermining it in some way, Like I think he he
Speaker 1: is going to continue to be a problem for anybody
Speaker 1: in this country for as long as he still has
Speaker 1: a public platform in terms of things he's doing in
Speaker 1: his official capacity. Just terminated the head of terminated. Uh.
Speaker 1: He no longer is firing people. He's terminating them because
Speaker 1: he's a he's strong and powerful. Uh. The head of
Speaker 1: cybersecurity for not going along with his coup and for
Speaker 1: saying that the election actually happened the way it actually did.
Speaker 1: And people are worried for Iran UM And you know,
Speaker 1: we mentioned yesterday that people are worried Trump was going
Speaker 1: to attack Iran and was firing people and promoting people
Speaker 1: based on like just how loyal to him they were.
Speaker 1: But then the sort of people were saying, oh no,
Speaker 1: the military leaders in America aren't going to let him
Speaker 1: do that. But now people are pointing out that Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia and Israel's leaders are like just as likely to attack,
Speaker 1: and then you know, draw America into that conflict because
Speaker 1: they see this as like their last best opportunity to
Speaker 1: start a conflict with Iran, while Trump is still you know,
Speaker 1: capable of marshaling his very anti Iran, is there any
Speaker 1: I mean, what do we know what the likelihood of
Speaker 1: that moving forward is? Uh, there's indicators that like they
Speaker 1: are preparing for, like I think Israeli forces has attacked
Speaker 1: Iranian forces in Syria. But it's yeah, we just don't
Speaker 1: we don't really know, but it's definitely something that uh,
Speaker 1: international security experts are watching and concerned about. Um. So
Speaker 1: that's awful, completely fucked. Yes. Yeah, does dung and dunets
Speaker 1: have like slippers? No? I wish they did the tan.
Speaker 1: The tandem bicycle is the most baffling and cursed item. Uh,
Speaker 1: I've never seen a tandem bicycle that looked like that.
Speaker 1: I was shocked at the price, but then I asked
Speaker 1: you both, and you said, it seems kind of like
Speaker 1: a normal price for a tandem bicycle. Although once I
Speaker 1: said that phrase out loud, I'm like, why would I
Speaker 1: know what that number is? I have no idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I also don't think I trust anyone enough to mount
Speaker 1: a bicycle like that. I would just get pregnant on
Speaker 1: the bicycle. That's what I would get it for. You
Speaker 1: asked us because Joel and I used to between in
Speaker 1: pre COVID times you ride around on it isn't how
Speaker 1: you met. Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, suposed to a Facebook
Speaker 1: group looking for a tandem biker. That's the release, nothing
Speaker 1: weird message meet. All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be back, and we're back. Should we talk about
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro. I guess we should mention the Ben Shapiro
Speaker 1: controversy and quotes. I'm just I like that he's being
Speaker 1: like launched out of a canton out of Glendale. That's
Speaker 1: a very like or I don't know that what's happening.
Speaker 1: He had a he had like a h an office.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the office, but an
Speaker 1: office for whatever His dweepy little fuck company is uh
Speaker 1: in Atwater Village nearer where we all live, and he
Speaker 1: he kind of it sounds like he didn't feel welcomed
Speaker 1: and he's like Joe Rogan moving to Texas, probably to
Speaker 1: avoid paying more taxes. But it also sounded like he
Speaker 1: really couldn't walk down the streets near his his office
Speaker 1: without getting fucking like roasted at every turn. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Atwater Village for launching Ben Shapiro out of a
Speaker 1: cannon and sorry to Texas because I think that you're
Speaker 1: getting your being burdened with Ben Shapiro. But I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure that there is like kind of a move for
Speaker 1: like devious capitalists like uh like Ben Shapiro. And to
Speaker 1: an extent, people always fucking dragged me every time I
Speaker 1: say this, Joe Rogan, who who moved to Who moved
Speaker 1: to Texas? Because the I think it's either income or
Speaker 1: property taxes that are significant. With us, there's no income taxes,
Speaker 1: So that's why Joe Rogan went there, even though he's like, no,
Speaker 1: you guys, I just really love it here. I love
Speaker 1: it here, all right, sir, I'm I'm reading. I keep
Speaker 1: referring to this book I'm reading about the Bush family,
Speaker 1: but like Texas, straight up Texas a bad place. What
Speaker 1: one of the little details that I just learned is
Speaker 1: that the guy who owned the Texas book depository that
Speaker 1: Oswald shot Kennedy from actually had the window from that
Speaker 1: he shot him from removed and moved to his home
Speaker 1: as like a thing to celebrate, Like what, oh my god, yeah, shp,
Speaker 1: that is horrific. And even if you were to Kennedy supporter,
Speaker 1: Like it's what I'm talking It's one of the most
Speaker 1: awful like things to view on tape, Like just the
Speaker 1: chaos and the horribleness of the act and then what
Speaker 1: that's really disturbing? Fucked that's like, holy sh it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all of these people are in some way tied back
Speaker 1: to George Bush, George H. W. Bush. So Lacey Mosley
Speaker 1: the only good person to ever come out of Texas
Speaker 1: sound off in the comment anyways, Ben Shapiro got mad
Speaker 1: that Harry Styles is wearing a dress on the cover
Speaker 1: of Vogue and claimed that masculinity was under attack. Uh,
Speaker 1: he is, Ben Shapiro knows how boring he is? Is
Speaker 1: he aware that? Like it's either he's not aware at all,
Speaker 1: or he's so aware and he can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1: It is a piece of clothing, And if your masculinity
Speaker 1: is threatened by a dress, it is truly fragile. Like
Speaker 1: the idea that seeing another dude in a quote unquote
Speaker 1: female garment is now all men camp that what does
Speaker 1: that even mean? Like it is you could have a
Speaker 1: whole array of genders and just pick and be really
Speaker 1: comfortable in your own subset and let everyone else just
Speaker 1: live their lives, Ben Shapiro, and yet here you are.
Speaker 1: I said it at a fashion cover, which I don't
Speaker 1: even know if Harry Styles lves wearing dresses or if
Speaker 1: his pr person was like listening, people are gonna love
Speaker 1: this and he was like cool whatever. Uh, It's like
Speaker 1: it's it's hardly a statement at all from Harry and
Speaker 1: so for you to get riled up over it, he
Speaker 1: just looked damn foolish. There, Prince did it in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Rock bands were doing in the seventies. This is old.
Speaker 1: It's so I'm pretty sure Harry Styles has a history
Speaker 1: of of dressing kind of Uh what am I trying? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has done this for a while, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: first of all, why are we still like I feel
Speaker 1: like he's been doing this for years. Leave him alone.
Speaker 1: And on top of I mean, it's just like Ben
Speaker 1: Shapiro is just so fucking pathetic where he's like just
Speaker 1: coming off like, you know, just coming off complaining about
Speaker 1: the wetness of various pussies for like three consecutive months.
Speaker 1: The medical condition of that is still maybe of the
Speaker 1: few would call the cops. If it was I would
Speaker 1: call the cops. I mean, that's dangerous. That clip is
Speaker 1: iconic in all the wrong ways. But like the fact
Speaker 1: that he went to the mat on the wetness of
Speaker 1: pussies and demonstrating that he has no idea how they
Speaker 1: work in the process. Just Chef's Kiss really incredible stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: I honestly did. I couldn't even bring wayself to watch
Speaker 1: whatever the funk he said about Harry Styles. The good
Speaker 1: news is that Harry Styles for sure doesn't give a
Speaker 1: ship all of Yeah, all of Harry Styles is fans
Speaker 1: like he has a very like young fan base and
Speaker 1: they don't give a ship with Ben Shapiro says, so
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you even You're just saying things.
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I kind of wish they like
Speaker 1: did too, Ben Shapiro, what like K pop fans have
Speaker 1: been doing to like right wing and authority terry in
Speaker 1: like trolls. Uh, But yeah, I think they just like
Speaker 1: don't give enough of a ship, which is with it
Speaker 1: well within their right to not give enough of a ship.
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, I don't know. Dressing, It's just like
Speaker 1: it's so Harry Styles is dressing ambiguously. Men have been
Speaker 1: doing this for centuries. It's so like the even the
Speaker 1: kind of masculinity that Ben Shapiro is referencing is like
Speaker 1: historically pretty new and like just so rigid and fucking
Speaker 1: boring and shut up. I don't know. But he also
Speaker 1: doesn't like fall into that category of masculinity. Like if
Speaker 1: we're going to look at the falsified, like pumped up
Speaker 1: version of masculinity, al see Ben Shapiro anywhere in the category. Right,
Speaker 1: You're not there, buddy, Um, yeah, thanks, Um, let's talk
Speaker 1: about ambient TV. There's a Yes, there's a piece that
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed in the New Yorker. They've written you
Speaker 1: up before, Jamie. You might have heard of them the
Speaker 1: New Yorker. Um. They they were writing about Emily in
Speaker 1: Paris and kind of how their description of Emily in
Speaker 1: Paris was very dystopian. But they overall we're saying that
Speaker 1: it reminds them of like the rise of ambient music,
Speaker 1: like the Briany No Thing, where he made music that
Speaker 1: um he considered as ignorable as it is interesting. Um,
Speaker 1: and like that these TV shows are basically designed to
Speaker 1: be background music, like nothing. The plot is incredibly thin
Speaker 1: on purpose, like so that you can miss half of
Speaker 1: it and still just kind of have a sense of
Speaker 1: what's going on. I've always used sports this way, like
Speaker 1: as a thing that you can just have on in
Speaker 1: the background and not really pay any attention to. UM.
Speaker 1: And evidence of that is like I can have sports
Speaker 1: on and my kids don't give a shit about it
Speaker 1: because like won't suck them into a TV comma, like
Speaker 1: literally everything else is because it's bad television. UM. But
Speaker 1: they're making the point that this whole movement, like they
Speaker 1: were talking about other Netflix reality shows that, um, like
Speaker 1: The Taco Chronicles, Dream Home Makeover, they really go in on.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that, but apparently very bland. I yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. Joel, did you watch any of Emily in Paris?
Speaker 1: I got being watched Emily in Paris. Let me talk
Speaker 1: about it, Okay. I love UH And we call AMI television.
Speaker 1: My crew calls a depression TV, which is like I
Speaker 1: can't afford to get emotionally infested in anything right now,
Speaker 1: Like the world is already too much right but I
Speaker 1: need something on the TV because then otherwise I'm just
Speaker 1: alone with my thoughts and I don't want that either.
Speaker 1: That's not a good recipe for me to get through
Speaker 1: this evening. So Emily and Paris. No, definitely not a
Speaker 1: great show. I don't know what's happening with any of
Speaker 1: the fashion in there. It's a hot mess. I don't care.
Speaker 1: You're like, where years, who did this and why? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't care about any of the characters.
Speaker 1: I was surprised anyone could like develop a heated emotional
Speaker 1: reaction to it, because there's a lot of discourse and
Speaker 1: they're like, Emily is so rude for going to Paris
Speaker 1: and shoving her American ways in their face, and like
Speaker 1: that's literally the plot of the show, like that. You
Speaker 1: should have tuned that after episode three. But it was
Speaker 1: perfect for me because I was just like, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: just there and I can be on my phone scrolling Twitter,
Speaker 1: which is what I really want to be doing anyway.
Speaker 1: But it's not silent, and it's great. I really feel
Speaker 1: like we perfected this TV in the nineties. Friends peak
Speaker 1: Friends is peak depression TV. It's peak ambient television. Nobody changes,
Speaker 1: nobody grows, nothing changes about the status of anyone's relationship,
Speaker 1: whether they're together or not, it doesn't matter. It's just bland,
Speaker 1: blank slate. And I think that there's really truly value
Speaker 1: in this kind of television. What bothers me is when
Speaker 1: we try to either escalate it or de escalate, and
Speaker 1: we try to escalate it into something more than it is,
Speaker 1: which is really what I think what happened to Emily
Speaker 1: in Paris. I think we were bored and we're like,
Speaker 1: I can rag on this show wonderful, but it's a
Speaker 1: vital aspect to my life. I really enjoy um. I
Speaker 1: think Great British Bake Off maybe have a little more
Speaker 1: emotional steaks in it for some people, but mostly it's
Speaker 1: just nice people baking awesome. They're really sorry when they
Speaker 1: have to let someone go excellent. Anything that's not gonna
Speaker 1: bring me up too high or down too low, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what we're looking for. It's literally yet I feel
Speaker 1: like depression TV. It was nice of them to call
Speaker 1: it ambient truly, but but it it is like it
Speaker 1: feels like, I mean, even like great depression media, where
Speaker 1: you're like, this is about nothing and everywhere it's it's pleasant.
Speaker 1: You don't feel like you're going to turn around and
Speaker 1: something horrible is going to be happening, like if you
Speaker 1: were watching, for example, The New is like it's just
Speaker 1: it's just my I really hope that I had like
Speaker 1: a very abrupt fantasy what I saw this piece about
Speaker 1: ambient TV, and it's that the creator of Emily in
Speaker 1: Paris releases a like scathing response, being like, how dare
Speaker 1: you say Emily in Paris was about nothing? In many ways,
Speaker 1: it was about everything. I just had no idea it
Speaker 1: was a really bad TV show. This is how they
Speaker 1: found out that it was only number two because everyone
Speaker 1: was so sad. Oh my god. This is how I
Speaker 1: feel about Like Netflix has really perfected the algorithm right
Speaker 1: of making a show that you don't necessarily have to
Speaker 1: be invested in. But it's like, I love the way
Speaker 1: they like John like their new show Jingle Jingle. It's
Speaker 1: like if you were sort of into high school musical,
Speaker 1: but you want some black representation in your Christmas shows,
Speaker 1: and you know you like a little bit of comedy,
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna laugh too hard because that's not
Speaker 1: what we're doing here. Perfect. It's so straight down the middle.
Speaker 1: You can watch it with your conservative family and no
Speaker 1: one's gonna fight. Listen. It's genius, it's necessary. And then
Speaker 1: you know, every once in a while you get a
Speaker 1: Queen's gambit and you're like, cool, great, something I can
Speaker 1: actually think my teeth into when I'm in the mood
Speaker 1: for it. But yeah, we need like seven hours of
Speaker 1: ambient television to get through whatever the next like eight
Speaker 1: months is going to be before we can re emerge
Speaker 1: into society. I enjoyed. Yeah, Julian and the Phantoms was fun.
Speaker 1: That was like, I feel like a cute underrated show
Speaker 1: that was like very high school musical e but like
Speaker 1: it's it's just cute, cute ship. I like cute ship
Speaker 1: that isn't gonna remind me of my mortality exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what's on the menu. Yeah. The point that they
Speaker 1: like their description of ambient TV is kind of that
Speaker 1: it it basically crowds out the noise in your mind
Speaker 1: and just like makes everything feel like like go dound
Speaker 1: smooth basically like smooths out. Like where whereas when we
Speaker 1: first had like streaming tving, you could like choose a
Speaker 1: show to watch and it would be like a show
Speaker 1: that like was engrossing and that was what we valued.
Speaker 1: Now it's more just like here is a time portal
Speaker 1: to uh an hour from now in the future. You
Speaker 1: just put on your like open up Netflix and put
Speaker 1: this show on and you'll be in the future, which
Speaker 1: is kind of a dark way to think about human
Speaker 1: existence at this voice. I also have found comfort in
Speaker 1: like all these I feel like I talked about them
Speaker 1: all the time now, but like these YouTube channels that
Speaker 1: are like by funny people who are based They're talking
Speaker 1: about nothing. They're talking about like Pokemon card scandals for
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, and you're just like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: just engrossing enough. I don't really need to listen, but like, good,
Speaker 1: good for them for caring. Like I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: just it's nice and it feels not horrible. That's what
Speaker 1: I mean when I say nice. Yeah, they they highlight.
Speaker 1: TikTok is the ultimate in ambient TV because it just
Speaker 1: is a stream of kind of passive, you know, unremarkable
Speaker 1: videos that just go down easy. It absolutely depends on
Speaker 1: what videos you're enjoying on TikTok. I could go a
Speaker 1: lot of way if your stream is just those like
Speaker 1: five Dance moved dance things, and sure, sure ambient and endless,
Speaker 1: but there some people are being creative and some people
Speaker 1: are being very weird, and some people are being you know,
Speaker 1: weirdly political. Uh yeah, I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say,
Speaker 1: go to TikTok looking for your ambient television fix. Um.
Speaker 1: But I do think that it's not streaming issue either.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame this on I'm like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: what streaming has come down to now. I think it's
Speaker 1: absolutely just a sign of the times and the fact
Speaker 1: that people cannot engage. Like I started watching Home and
Speaker 1: catch Fire, which is sunning, it's such good television. I
Speaker 1: got three season one and then I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 1: they're really doing with some real life issues here. I
Speaker 1: want to put some backburner around to it later, like
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, financial crisis coming up. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: no back out of it. Um. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: if we were watching on network, and to be fair,
Speaker 1: let's look at what networks are coming out with right
Speaker 1: now in the middle of the pandemic. We've got two
Speaker 1: versions of the mass singer. One that's just lip singers
Speaker 1: where they're trying to see if you're the actual person
Speaker 1: singing or not. This is the content we need to
Speaker 1: get through, and I really think TV is doing a
Speaker 1: good job for us, even if it's not intellectually stimulating.
Speaker 1: There's too much to do. We don't need to be
Speaker 1: any further intellectually stimulated. At this point, did we talk
Speaker 1: about do we ever talk about Mickey Rourke on The
Speaker 1: Masked Singer? We have a big mask Singer blind spot.
Speaker 1: I am here to say I stop, I'm behind on
Speaker 1: Mass Singer. I'm not gonn say I stopped watching this season,
Speaker 1: but I had to stop watching after I got to
Speaker 1: Mickey Rourke episode because it was so good that I'm like,
Speaker 1: nothing is going to top this for me for months.
Speaker 1: So what happened was this It's still so funny. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it's like the first round of Mass Singer, which
Speaker 1: takes like four weeks, but they bring out a celebrity
Speaker 1: dress like a big purple gremlin and he sings, oh
Speaker 1: what did he sing? Whatever he's saying, he didn't really
Speaker 1: know the words, uh, and it wasn't good and the
Speaker 1: whole panel couldn't guess who it was. Nick Cannon gets
Speaker 1: up on stage to have people guess, and then whoever's
Speaker 1: inside the Grimlin is like no more, no more, I'm
Speaker 1: like d He quits The Masked Singer after his first performance.
Speaker 1: He knows he's gonna lose. He rips off the Gremlins head.
Speaker 1: It seems like it was. I mean, it might have
Speaker 1: been preplanned, but Nick can't. If so, best acting performance
Speaker 1: of Nick Cannon's life, because he was like, wait, you
Speaker 1: can't you can't take, you can't quit. He unmasked himself.
Speaker 1: It was Mickey Rourke. Everyone lost their ship and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, they asked me to be on and
Speaker 1: I watched two or three episodes and I said why not?
Speaker 1: But this costume is really heavy and I want to
Speaker 1: go home, and he just left all of us. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did not know how it went down. I just
Speaker 1: saw the red feel on Twitter the same night, right,
Speaker 1: so I just Mickey Rourk's tiny head, his head not tiny,
Speaker 1: but in a giant zooey looks small and he's covered
Speaker 1: in like purple fuz and he's like a little sweaty,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, how did they get Mickey Rourke to
Speaker 1: come on this show? And that to me was a
Speaker 1: funny part, but knowing that he was just like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: I have about today. It's so much sweeter. It's it's
Speaker 1: everything I think everybody wishes they could do. It's just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, no I'm taking this human steam off.
Speaker 1: I have to go home now. I had no idea
Speaker 1: it was his first performance. It was it was his
Speaker 1: first performance and he unmasked himself. It was I'm shy.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a lot of ship going on.
Speaker 1: It was peak election stuff going on, so I feel
Speaker 1: like it really slipped under the radar, but there's clips
Speaker 1: of it online. It was like, truly the best television
Speaker 1: I've seen in a really long time. Listen at the
Speaker 1: Heart Studio. We have Snicky's text or infamous from the
Speaker 1: season on the wall on a giant flag, and now
Speaker 1: I really feel like we need Dad Macky Rourke with
Speaker 1: his head off, you know, just hey, I'm right there.
Speaker 1: It's it's iconic tvel television. That is amazing. Is that
Speaker 1: great of television? He because when you just hear the
Speaker 1: voice escaped, like right before he rips the gremlin head off,
Speaker 1: he goes no more, no more, It's the greatest clip
Speaker 1: you'll you'll ever watch. It's like pure Sarahtonin. Apparently Netflix
Speaker 1: is trying is going to try to be like a network.
Speaker 1: They're going to do like a streaming, like a linear
Speaker 1: version of Netflix. So, uh, that's interesting to me. Wait,
Speaker 1: like wait, Like you just turn on Netflix and there's
Speaker 1: something on everybody watching. So this is something I've somewhat
Speaker 1: been asking for, and I think it absolutely feeds into
Speaker 1: the ambient depression TV conversation of like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to have to make a choice. I came here to
Speaker 1: put something on the TV and walk away. And if
Speaker 1: you're like me, there's you have like five shows in
Speaker 1: rotation that you're like like me, It's the King of
Speaker 1: the Hill, Like, I guess I can watch more of
Speaker 1: that any time. I will absolutely do some more. Bob's
Speaker 1: Burger's Girlfriends is on somewhere, the Game Crazy Drama. So
Speaker 1: I feel like, but I still think I don't understand
Speaker 1: my no streaming services listening to the internet, because the
Speaker 1: Internet has been begging for playlist style streams for ever.
Speaker 1: What if I just put all five of my shows
Speaker 1: in there and you just shook it up and were like,
Speaker 1: here's episode five from season six and I just watched that,
Speaker 1: Like that is honestly the dreams I don't dress Netflix.
Speaker 1: Netflix is going to do what any smart business person
Speaker 1: would do, which is like, here's our new show. We
Speaker 1: hope you get hooked you in I don't want to
Speaker 1: watch you a new show. I don't watch something I
Speaker 1: watched eight thousand times, so I don't have the anxiety
Speaker 1: of having to figure out what's going to happen next.
Speaker 1: I just want to know. Yeah, they will totally suck
Speaker 1: it up though, Like you're just like I did not
Speaker 1: want to watch The Holidate and you know that you
Speaker 1: knew that, And now in forty five minutes into it
Speaker 1: because I couldn't find the remote and I'm hooked. God
Speaker 1: damn it. Just a p s A to everyone. You
Speaker 1: don't need to watch The Holidate. I took that out
Speaker 1: for us all. It's not worth it. I think you
Speaker 1: about watching Jingle Jingle and just doing like a live
Speaker 1: tweet of it because the fact that it's named it's
Speaker 1: not named after the drug that's on the arch series
Speaker 1: Riverdale on the CW, but it does share the same
Speaker 1: name Jingle Jingle and Yeah and Riverdale Jingle Jingle is
Speaker 1: like they're hard drug. It's like the heroine of Riverdale.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, but it's sunny. They boxed a bear in prison,
Speaker 1: Jack that someone brought a bear into a prison, put
Speaker 1: it in a boxing ring and then had one of
Speaker 1: the stars fighting like the show was unhinged, but in
Speaker 1: the best possible way. I just I'm curious, like if
Speaker 1: there is any correlation between the Joe Jingle Jangle and
Speaker 1: River Deal and Jingle Jangle, the comedic hip hop musical
Speaker 1: Christmas Special on Netflix. I feel like there's gotta be
Speaker 1: some good media discourse in there somewhere. I was in
Speaker 1: on Jingle Jangle the second I learned Forest Whittaker's character
Speaker 1: was named geron Kiss Jangle, I was like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch that. The trailer alone is enough. The trailer
Speaker 1: is like I have to uh kicking Michael Key plays
Speaker 1: the villain, and like, what in what world is there
Speaker 1: a series or single? It's a movie a movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm already watching it right now. Joel, it's
Speaker 1: been a pleasure as always having you on the daily
Speaker 1: zite guist. Where can people find you and follow you? Yeah,

Speaker 1: Stallion from when she was in college. Megan dressed every
Speaker 1: day like she was a lawyer, full suit, set of nails,
Speaker 1: gold watch, hair together she's in college. I was like,
Speaker 1: if Megan the Stallion isn't the absolute inspiration for just
Speaker 1: get your stuff together in the hard times. Woman lost
Speaker 1: her mother and her grandmother in the same year that
Speaker 1: she goes double platinum. I am obsessed with her and
Speaker 1: her career and her moves and the way that she
Speaker 1: just constantly surprises everybody. And seeing her in her early forms,
Speaker 1: seeing how together it was, I was like, this is
Speaker 1: this is where we need to be. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just pulled up the pigs. I'm like, yeah, she Holy
