Speaker 1: the opus, Yes, if you beautiful, it's interesting, Snarlow's Barkley.
Speaker 1: There's the famous version on YouTube called Tease Me, where
Speaker 1: a Filipino beauty contestant is singing it, but her tech
Speaker 1: olig accent creates a lot of new words, and in
Speaker 1: the last line where says make the what the fireflies dance?
Speaker 1: Silver moon is sparkling, she says, make the parflies dance.
Speaker 1: Sylvie Moose is Barkley kiss And I was laughing at
Speaker 1: that part. Shout out to Snarls Barkley at a shout
Speaker 1: out to them. We are thrilled to be joined in
Speaker 1: our third seat by the brilliant, the talented r L
Speaker 1: doing wrong Welcome. Things are good. I'm kind of sad
Speaker 1: that I don't have any kind of theme music prepared
Speaker 1: for you guys. I also am a little bit mad
Speaker 1: that I had to listen to that just now. That
Speaker 1: was kind of painful. Miles especially um, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: It's you're You're more than welcome. So this is what
Speaker 1: the listeners of our show put themselves through on the daily.
Speaker 1: They are a hardy bunch. They are, yeah, and they
Speaker 1: indulge it. It's like it's an awful cycle where it's
Speaker 1: these here burn yourself up with this a K very nice,
Speaker 1: very nice. All Where are you coming to us from?
Speaker 1: I'm currently sitting in my Brooklyn apartment. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: in my closet specifically, if we want to be like
Speaker 1: hyper specific broadcast closet. I mean it's sound treated, it's
Speaker 1: very tried. I tried to have some moving blankets over here.
Speaker 1: I have some phone panels on the other side, got
Speaker 1: you know, some a lamp so I can finally see
Speaker 1: what the heck I'm doing when I'm recording. It's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you love to see it. You love to see it.
Speaker 1: You do kind of love to see it. What's the
Speaker 1: weather like in Brooklyn right now? Uh? Kind of coldish,
Speaker 1: kind of rainy. Yeah, it's like it felt like last weekend,
Speaker 1: like it was it warmer last weekend. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: feel like because I was like, oh, here we go,
Speaker 1: it's sixty eight greas, bring out the beanies and down jackets,
Speaker 1: and then like everyone New York was like it's party time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: T shirts, flip flops. What are you talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: opening up the fire hydrants. Totally, totally, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: happened last night. 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 few of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the continued UH
Speaker 1: spike and COVID H, the spread UH both outside of
Speaker 1: this administration and inside the administration among Korey Lewandowski. They're
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty Secret Service agents quarantining right now.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We're gonna talk about Rampaul.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Trump asking about using you know,
Speaker 1: we we only know what he's planning because he starts
Speaker 1: asking questions about it because he doesn't really know how
Speaker 1: things exactly. So he asked about the you know, a
Speaker 1: thing that people have been scared about for a while,
Speaker 1: that that he would convince Republican state legislatures to send
Speaker 1: competing electors. But we'll we'll talk about why we're not
Speaker 1: pissing our bed quite yet on that front. To make
Speaker 1: a reference back to Miles dakh, we will talk about
Speaker 1: the first woman and first Asian American GM of a
Speaker 1: pro sports team. We're gonna talk about how it's never
Speaker 1: too early for the Biden administration to start sucking up.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Disney, We'll talk Miles will review some
Speaker 1: Netflix shows. I will talk about some new offerings from
Speaker 1: the Renaissance h that I don't know he's been. He's
Speaker 1: been dropping music while we weren't looking, and he I
Speaker 1: think he must be doing this on purpose because he
Speaker 1: is locking down such a specific aesthetic of just like cheesiness,
Speaker 1: um and bad lyricism, that lyric writing that I I
Speaker 1: just can't even express. So renters on playing for dats
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I think he's playing for but first area.
Speaker 1: We like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Um So,
Speaker 1: two things have been in my search history quite a
Speaker 1: bit this week, Like I've like repeatedly searched for for
Speaker 1: two specific things. One of them is is just random
Speaker 1: pictures of animal poop. There's a reason for this, seriously.
Speaker 1: Um So, I've been trying to identify what animal is
Speaker 1: pooping in my backyard in the same spot every night
Speaker 1: because my dog has developed an affinity for eating said
Speaker 1: poop um, and it would be useful for me to
Speaker 1: know what animals so I know how to stop this
Speaker 1: animal from doing this in my art every time. And
Speaker 1: also you write like and how much do I need
Speaker 1: to worry? And the thing is is that this do
Speaker 1: you want me to dive into this because I can't
Speaker 1: promise you. I can't. So the thing is is that
Speaker 1: this cat poop specifically is um is like kind of
Speaker 1: like oddly mushy, It doesn't really have a shape, and
Speaker 1: it's green. And so if it is cat poop, and
Speaker 1: there are quite a few cats who spend time in
Speaker 1: our yard, if it is cat poop, that's probably indicates
Speaker 1: that this cat is sick, which means that I really
Speaker 1: need to get my I mean, this is apropos. I
Speaker 1: really need to get my ship together to stop my dog,
Speaker 1: right um. So I've been trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1: I've been so I've been googling a lot of like
Speaker 1: pictures of like wildlife poop um. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate about googling that is that, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: a lot of the guides are like drawings of poop
Speaker 1: as opposed to actual examples of the poop, which is
Speaker 1: infinitely frustrating to me because you know what's not helpful,
Speaker 1: like random outline of a pop Like here's my artistic
Speaker 1: interpretation of the fingers for a scientific diagram. It's really
Speaker 1: really not helpful. And like I studied zoology from my
Speaker 1: undergrad so, like, I'm not squeamish, like I this is
Speaker 1: not a big deal for me. I just need to
Speaker 1: know what animal is responsible for this. Like I thought
Speaker 1: it was maybe like rabbit because green, but it's not
Speaker 1: like the right kind of pillet size, like yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: So listen, I think I'm narrowed down to like sick cat,
Speaker 1: which means that I need to like buy something to
Speaker 1: cover the area that's like kind of spiky so the
Speaker 1: cat won't squat there. Um. I haven't done that yet,
Speaker 1: but that's that's because almost one what is you know,
Speaker 1: if someone who studied zoology, like what are the other
Speaker 1: possible wildlife in Brooklyn's But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because I feel like very quickly, it's like it's got
Speaker 1: to be a cat, Like are there it could be
Speaker 1: a raccoon? Um. I actually haven't specifically checked this out,
Speaker 1: but like maybe there are foxes, Maybe there are rabi.
Speaker 1: They're probably rabbits. Like, like the area I'm close to
Speaker 1: means which is like has like a little bit more
Speaker 1: green space around, like it's possible, right Like Also like
Speaker 1: then that also means that there's like a hole in
Speaker 1: the fence if that's the case, because it has like
Speaker 1: a cement base. Anyways, I've like that's a lot of
Speaker 1: problem solving you have to do. Yeah, so I tried
Speaker 1: to figure out and I'm like concerned if like I
Speaker 1: covered that because at first I was going to do
Speaker 1: cayenne pepper just like sprinkle it there because like you know,
Speaker 1: the smell of it would like get into their nostrils.
Speaker 1: But then you have to do that every day. Hot
Speaker 1: sauce would be a similar thing. Um, So I think
Speaker 1: I've landed on like the spiky mat um, which means
Speaker 1: that my dog also won't be able to dig there,
Speaker 1: which is probably fine. But anyways, so or leave some
Speaker 1: stool hardener out. The Selogy part of me is like
Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea, like that someone who has a
Speaker 1: cat who has stool issues. I've had to try everything
Speaker 1: to solve it. But yeah, I remember my dog. I
Speaker 1: have a dog to who loves to get down on
Speaker 1: some cat shit. And as one of our our coworkers,
Speaker 1: Katie Golden, was saying, it's because of the fat content
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, it's like, yeah, because they eat way
Speaker 1: more meat, like the diet is way more meat heavy.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I don't know, but she loves this stuff
Speaker 1: and she parades it around and she's so pleased whenever
Speaker 1: she finds a piece of it, Like she's so happy.
Speaker 1: It's really frustrating. So that's that's Google search number one,
Speaker 1: Google search number two, if you don't mind me giving
Speaker 1: an example not monopolizing the time here, uh is freezers
Speaker 1: for vaccines. So I've been like googling different types of freezers.
Speaker 1: This this, this Fiser vaccine needs a minus seventy degrees
Speaker 1: celsius freezer, which is called like an ultra cold freezer.
Speaker 1: These freezers cost thousands of dollars and like your average
Speaker 1: clinic will not have a freezer like that, right. So
Speaker 1: I've been trying to figure out how this like chain
Speaker 1: of operation is to work, and it's gonna be complicated
Speaker 1: and people are gonna have to work together, which means
Speaker 1: that it's gonna go badly. Um. So I've I've been
Speaker 1: going freezers a lot. Isn't there already like a run
Speaker 1: on those freezers on top of it, like even if
Speaker 1: it's hard, they're even hard to obtain right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So like rich hospitals are already trying to buy a
Speaker 1: bunch of these and ups FedEx, um, DHL are all
Speaker 1: trying to buy because they have freezer farms. Um, so
Speaker 1: they're all trying to like buy up a lot of freezers.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna be a problem. The thing is
Speaker 1: is that it's unclear whether these smaller claims would be
Speaker 1: able to ford them at all. Um So hopefully, Like
Speaker 1: I I it's gonna tell you. I was talking to
Speaker 1: a researcher today who was telling me that, um, she's
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how many of these freezers they
Speaker 1: have at her university so that they can loan out
Speaker 1: the space in the freezers, like the remaining space in
Speaker 1: the freezer. And she's like compiled a specific number of
Speaker 1: cubic feet that they have available that they could loan
Speaker 1: out in her state. So we're subletting freezer space for
Speaker 1: the good of humanity basically. Yeah, it's it's actually super interesting.
Speaker 1: I love these kinds of stories. I'm a science writer
Speaker 1: by by trade, Like that's what I do. Um, So
Speaker 1: I got really really excited about the story, even though
Speaker 1: obviously it's a global pandemic and it's it's sad and terrible. UM,
Speaker 1: I do find that specific aspect of it really interesting. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been actually stocking up on the super freezers. Uh,
Speaker 1: just like people were doing with the ps fives. I
Speaker 1: just bought outside. You're just like one of those people
Speaker 1: just stoking up on super freezers. You know this guy's
Speaker 1: going to come back. You got in trouble with FBI
Speaker 1: for buying all those Lisol wipes, so watch it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that story was I remember when they were first talking
Speaker 1: about vaccines over the summer and how most likely they're
Speaker 1: going to have to be frozen or kept very cold
Speaker 1: to move around, and I'm like, I already can envision
Speaker 1: the stories of trailer fulls of vaccine going bad because
Speaker 1: of X Y, and yeah, I mean that could definitely happen.
Speaker 1: Crumbling infrastructure, right. The good news is that, um, the
Speaker 1: other freezers, the other freezers, the other vaccines that are
Speaker 1: in the works right now from companies like Astra, Zeneca
Speaker 1: and Maderna do not need these these super intense freezers.
Speaker 1: But like, because Fiser appears to be ahead of the
Speaker 1: pack right now, we'll see if it gets an FDA authorization,
Speaker 1: it like creates a logistical issue right off the bat.
Speaker 1: That could mean that certain areas, more rural areas, areas
Speaker 1: that don't have these fancy schmancy hospitals could uh could
Speaker 1: see a significant delay in terms of their access to
Speaker 1: a vaccine. And like that's gonna suck to put it plain.
Speaker 1: Do do they make these vaccines at some central location
Speaker 1: then have to ship them out or will people be
Speaker 1: making the vaccines like at the hospital and be able
Speaker 1: to store them there or how does that? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: more of a central location thing because you need to
Speaker 1: have a highly specialized area. Um. And these vaccines, even
Speaker 1: though they haven't been authorized by the FDA yet, they
Speaker 1: are already in production right now. Um. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not like something that you can like whip up in
Speaker 1: the back of your clinic and just like administer. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, unfortunately. Yeah, not mine. I've been
Speaker 1: told that. Yeah, I specifically should not try what is
Speaker 1: something emergency with diet coke very weird. That's good, better
Speaker 1: than you would think it's good. Um, what is something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Um? So I'm actually so glad
Speaker 1: that you brought up things like emergency because what I
Speaker 1: think is super overrated is like the term healthy food
Speaker 1: or like just diets broadly speaking, and especially and like
Speaker 1: administering vitamins that are not prescribed by a doctor because
Speaker 1: you don't you don't know if you even have a
Speaker 1: deficiency or not. Um, all of those things are just
Speaker 1: like highly overrated. Like you a lot of the things.
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a healthy food. There's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with eating something that's sugary or that has
Speaker 1: a lot of fat. You just need to have a
Speaker 1: balanced diet. And like the frequency of these things right right,
Speaker 1: and like honestly like kind of whatever. It's we we
Speaker 1: know that the way that people lose weight is through
Speaker 1: have restricting, not over eating. It doesn't necessarily have something
Speaker 1: to do with the types of foods that you are eating. Um,
Speaker 1: And it's just a diet culture man overrated and just
Speaker 1: the language that we use that can sort of ideas
Speaker 1: or like how we even perceive those things for sure. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's just really it really it
Speaker 1: really screws people up. Um. And I just like I
Speaker 1: am like extremely over talking about my body, other people
Speaker 1: talking about their bodies and um, and just like competing
Speaker 1: with each other about this stuff just not helpful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's weird. It's something that comes up to like
Speaker 1: last week we had a guest on what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: just like in quarantine, like the idea of people just
Speaker 1: not caring about their physical appearance in terms of like
Speaker 1: aesthetic exercise, people like really putting the time into like
Speaker 1: get super aesthetically cut up and shipped like that, and yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's it's it's it's funny how even in a
Speaker 1: time like this, like those things sort of starts seeping
Speaker 1: into our heads where even though we're at home and
Speaker 1: most of them are so isolated, we're still like finding
Speaker 1: ways of like oh yeah, and you might be feeling
Speaker 1: guilty because you're seeing this other person like looking real
Speaker 1: cut in quarantine or something like that. Right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's a problem. Like I don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: I I lift I UM, I used to power lift
Speaker 1: before the pandemic. UM, but I do it to be strong, right,
Speaker 1: Like I love the feeling and it's the only way,
Speaker 1: Like it's one of the only things that makes me
Speaker 1: feel like in my body and super grounded. Um, there's
Speaker 1: just lifting heavy ship. So yeah, that's like moving stuff around,
Speaker 1: like lifting boxes and ship. Like I could do that, Nathan.
Speaker 1: For you that joke episode where there's a whole workout
Speaker 1: routine about just moving shipped from someone's house to another one,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I could do that all day. Is something
Speaker 1: you feel good, like, yeah, let me get this box,
Speaker 1: let me do this. But yeah, all right, next time
Speaker 1: I move, I'm gonna be calling you Miles you can
Speaker 1: pop on a plane. Problem? Profit problem? What is something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Uh? The answer is is specifically
Speaker 1: tied to my dog, which is that I think chihuahuas
Speaker 1: are very much underrated. Um. I have an eight pound
Speaker 1: black Chihuahua and they get a really bad rap And
Speaker 1: that's because most people who own chihuahuas aren't very good
Speaker 1: at training them. Um, but she's amazing. She hikes eight
Speaker 1: miles with me. Well eight pound body hikes. Will like,
Speaker 1: do eight miles. I'm tired of the end of it,
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, I'm still ready to go. She's
Speaker 1: super trainable. She I've recently taught her to put away
Speaker 1: her toys. I have to do each individually, but she will,
Speaker 1: like I say, like take get, She'll take it, and
Speaker 1: I point to the basket where we put her toys
Speaker 1: and she'll drop it in there. Like these dogs are
Speaker 1: amazing and I don't know why they get hated on
Speaker 1: so much. It's it's really unfortunate. I so you, I'm
Speaker 1: sure as someone who like loves already you've confessed you
Speaker 1: were into zoology, so as part of you being like
Speaker 1: I can make this work, like I don't know about
Speaker 1: all of this, because I think I can make any
Speaker 1: of it work right, because I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of people just sort of get if they're not used
Speaker 1: to training a dog or like how that works or
Speaker 1: something like they give up very easily, and then you
Speaker 1: get the runaway train effect where it's like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think my chihuahua is in here, I don't know
Speaker 1: check or is everything ripped up? Oh yeah, the dogs
Speaker 1: in here then, or like like oh they shipped on
Speaker 1: your pillow that you were sleeping on. That's weird, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's do you get like what are you using like
Speaker 1: a clicker method and just treat positive reinforcement? How do
Speaker 1: you have to teach her a new treat, a new trick.
Speaker 1: I will generally use a clicker because she actually responds
Speaker 1: relatively well to it. Um. She's not one of those
Speaker 1: dogs where it can just like you can. You can
Speaker 1: show them a thing and then they'll they'll mimic you,
Speaker 1: like there are super dogs that can do that. She's
Speaker 1: not like that. Um, but the clicker works well with
Speaker 1: her and uh yeah, just catching the trick. So if
Speaker 1: she does something that I want her that I like,
Speaker 1: then I will praise her like crazy, like it's a
Speaker 1: it's a party in this apartment. If something right, and
Speaker 1: then she'll figure it out and she'll try to to
Speaker 1: recreate that moment and then more. Yeah. Yeah, I if
Speaker 1: you could see the amount of just toys around me
Speaker 1: right now, I could use I'm taking notes right now
Speaker 1: for how to train my two and four year old
Speaker 1: to do human Yeah yeah, yeah, no, I I because
Speaker 1: actually I was talking to my wife yesterday about how
Speaker 1: like as far as like catching a trick and then
Speaker 1: praising a specific behavior like it is actually quite similar
Speaker 1: with with very young children, right, like you praise them
Speaker 1: when they do something that's really good, and you just
Speaker 1: like catch them in the act, then you try and
Speaker 1: recreate it because they know it's a good thing. I
Speaker 1: think that stops working after a while when or you
Speaker 1: re enforce the wrong behaviors that you take into adulthood
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I'm meant to be passive around
Speaker 1: this kind of person, because that's how I always been. Like, oh,
Speaker 1: good for you. If someone tells you to come here
Speaker 1: and you know, do you do that? That's okay. The
Speaker 1: other thing I want to know about chuahas is I
Speaker 1: I like chihuahua's, but they're big ass skulls kind to
Speaker 1: freak me out, Like I'm always looking at him like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the dome skull, Yeah, like up with your skull piece cha, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird. She actually, so there are two types of chihuahuas.
Speaker 1: She's she's not a purebread she's a rescue from Texas um.
Speaker 1: But there are two types of chiawas. One has like
Speaker 1: a dome skull and the other one has more of
Speaker 1: like a flat skull, So she's a flat skull. Um.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. The dome the dome skull is weird. No,
Speaker 1: you know, no shade to dome skulls, you know, But
Speaker 1: for me, maybe not my cup of tea. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I I get you, I feel you. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: something it looks uncomfortable, like when you see like the
Speaker 1: trembling chihuahuas that have like the dog, because you're like,
Speaker 1: is your head about to explode? It's not why you're shaking,
Speaker 1: because that's what it looks like to me. So I
Speaker 1: will tell you that the trembling is one major downside
Speaker 1: of this particular animal. Like she does it all the
Speaker 1: time if she's stressed out, if she's cold, which is
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, she will she will shake,
Speaker 1: and that I do like, I wish there wasn't a
Speaker 1: thing that she did. Um, but you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: cold all the time too, So if I'm cold, I
Speaker 1: know she's cold. So we help each other out, you know,
Speaker 1: we alert each other to this environmental problem that we're
Speaker 1: just by thinking about you, just like every time I
Speaker 1: get in her arms so cold. Um yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about the news and we're back. Yeah. So we
Speaker 1: are in the middle of a COVID nineteen pandemic. Have
Speaker 1: you guys heard about this? Uh no, Yeah, Surge continued surge.
Speaker 1: I don't know that there. It's breaking down into distinct
Speaker 1: waves at this point. It just seems like it's popping
Speaker 1: off in different places quite a bit right now. But
Speaker 1: at one place in particular it is popping off is
Speaker 1: within the Trump administration. Yeah, everybody, everybody has come through.
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, chief of Staff, tested positive, Ben Carson tested positive,
Speaker 1: Corey Lewandowski tested positive. And now the latest news over
Speaker 1: the weekend was that over one hundred thirty Secret Service
Speaker 1: officers have been quarantining or isolating due to a positive
Speaker 1: test to themselves or for being in close contacts to
Speaker 1: a coworker that had tested positive. That's like roughly ten
Speaker 1: per cent of the agency's core security team from what
Speaker 1: the reports are, so ten percent because of all the
Speaker 1: insisting on like COVID isn't real, UH is now having
Speaker 1: this effect of the people that are in charge of
Speaker 1: protecting them, like this recklessness around them is now being like, okay,
Speaker 1: well now we've we've recapped our capacity by about ten percent.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people were pointing to the
Speaker 1: like the rallies as a huge contributing factor because again
Speaker 1: those are huge maskless events with no social distancing, so
Speaker 1: like most people who accept the science around and go, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that. And then couple that
Speaker 1: with all of the indoor events that are going on
Speaker 1: too with them, where it's maskless indoors, no social distancing,
Speaker 1: a lot of hooting and hollering, and yes, there's just
Speaker 1: increase added risk. Do we know if these Secret Service
Speaker 1: agents are being told specifically not to wear a mask, Like,
Speaker 1: is that a directive that they are getting, because that
Speaker 1: just feels particularly like that feels like negligence to me.
Speaker 1: That feel like particularly awful. We do have anecdotes where
Speaker 1: Trump specifically shames people for wearing masks around him, so
Speaker 1: unofficial guidance exactly in the in the photos, you'll it's
Speaker 1: a mix like sometimes you'll the Secret Service is wearing
Speaker 1: a mask and other times they're not. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: it almost seems like how close you are to the president,
Speaker 1: Like you'll see like the people who are maybe on
Speaker 1: the perimeters that look like Secret Service are masked up,
Speaker 1: and then you see photos of like the President walking
Speaker 1: through somewhere and he's like super close detail as maskless.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the opposite of how should be right,
Speaker 1: You would think, Yes, exactly, because the idea of wearing
Speaker 1: a mask is like, let's protect the president, right yeah,
Speaker 1: But and even then, like you know, the beginnings was
Speaker 1: that awful, awful photo op when he decided to do
Speaker 1: the hermetically sealed drive around Walter Reid with his security
Speaker 1: detail in the car when he is in the midst
Speaker 1: of struggling through COVID infection. So I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: Like I'm who knows like the kinds of memoirs that
Speaker 1: are going to come out from these people, but like God,
Speaker 1: like it's got to be even worse. And you're like,
Speaker 1: do my job is to protect people who are trying
Speaker 1: to fucking who literally don't give a funk if I
Speaker 1: live or die. Like it's a weird, weird dynamic going
Speaker 1: on here, right, the fact that their job is to
Speaker 1: be willing to take a bullet for him, and like
Speaker 1: he I'm shocked that he hasn't more taken advantage of
Speaker 1: that and like had people shoot at him too, just
Speaker 1: like dangle his power of having a secret services, secret
Speaker 1: service details in front of people. It's for me, I mean,
Speaker 1: the thing with when it comes to COVID is that
Speaker 1: he is the bullet, right exactly, what do you do
Speaker 1: when you're the principle that you're supposed to be protecting
Speaker 1: is also the threat to everyone's safety simultaneously. Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: this just revealed a very stupid myth that I always
Speaker 1: had in my head. I didn't realize how many Secret
Speaker 1: Service agents there were. It was like a hundred thirty.
Speaker 1: That's got to be all of them, right, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought they were just the six that are always
Speaker 1: around him, like in in the line of fire. Right, Um,
Speaker 1: Bill Rick shades mustache. Other guys they don't look that
Speaker 1: different from one another. They all have kind of the
Speaker 1: same gear on. So I just assumed it was like
Speaker 1: a small gang that protected the president. Of them, I mean,
Speaker 1: they were born out of the Pinkerton's Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so like it is, Uh, it is an interesting evolution
Speaker 1: of the guy who was like, yeah, I created a
Speaker 1: corporate police gang to like help fight people who are
Speaker 1: fighting for like labor rights and also protect the president.
Speaker 1: Now we'll pivot into that now, Yeah, after the Lincoln assassination,
Speaker 1: very Thick should probably should get get Pinkerton. That guy,
Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of one's on payroll. Is wild.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Rampaul I mean, this is this just
Speaker 1: seems to be ideologically like really going around on the
Speaker 1: on the right. But Rampaul uh is demanding that we
Speaker 1: get get this country back to work, folks. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: you know, throw cars. I don't again, We're every day
Speaker 1: people are separating themselves more and more from reality. And
Speaker 1: I'm not sure like where this goes aside from like
Speaker 1: the I don't know over time, You're like, well, it
Speaker 1: was an evolutionary trait that conservatives subtly washed themselves out
Speaker 1: of the gene pool because they didn't believe in science
Speaker 1: or illnesses. But he went on Fox to assure people,
Speaker 1: I don't just like this is it's just a first
Speaker 1: of all, I don't even need to give a caveat,
Speaker 1: but this is straight bullshit. But he's screaming this on Fox.
Speaker 1: But the other thing is is we have eleven million
Speaker 1: people in our country who have already had COVID. We
Speaker 1: should tell them to celebrate, We should tell them to
Speaker 1: throw away their masks, go to restaurants, live again because
Speaker 1: these people are now immune. I'm just gonna stop that there,
Speaker 1: because that's it's just incorrect. Yeah, I mean almost immediately
Speaker 1: on MSNBC they had dr Vin Gupta on just to
Speaker 1: completely debunk that. So just again just you can hear
Speaker 1: from a doctor, uh, completely debunked that. Here's what an
Speaker 1: expert from the University of Washington Health Metrics Sciences Department
Speaker 1: has to say. I don't know why he would say
Speaker 1: that for your viewers out there, to correct misinformation. There
Speaker 1: is no evidence that if you've been infected with COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen that you're immune for reinfection for any period of time.
Speaker 1: In twenty five year old in Nevada, otherwise healthy within
Speaker 1: six weeks of his first infection, got reinfected, had more
Speaker 1: severe symptoms the second time around. So that is shameful
Speaker 1: on the part of Senator Rand Paul here. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It's yeah. In fact, the CDC actually is
Speaker 1: recommending that once the vaccine is available, that people who
Speaker 1: have had COVID nineteen should still get vaccinated because vaccines actually, like,
Speaker 1: depending on how infected you were with COVID nineteen, um,
Speaker 1: vaccines can actually convey actually like better immunity often. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's it's uh, it's really terrible that he
Speaker 1: said that. I don't it's so weird, right, like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're like sort of the hypotheticals about how you can't
Speaker 1: shout fire in a crowded theater, you know, and cause
Speaker 1: a commotion that could lead to people injuring themselves. Yet
Speaker 1: it's okay to shout ship that verifiably is going to
Speaker 1: cost people their lives, Like, no COVID, man, just toss
Speaker 1: your masks away because you've had COVID And you can
Speaker 1: say that on national fucking TV. And we're still like,
Speaker 1: how what do we do here? I guess if you
Speaker 1: watch Fox, You're sorry, Like, I don't know, Like at
Speaker 1: a certain point there we have to be able to
Speaker 1: rain this kind of misinformation and because it truly is,
Speaker 1: like you there's so many people who even like people
Speaker 1: who are are not conservative here this kind of like
Speaker 1: bullshit misinformation to whatever help them feel like they can
Speaker 1: go outside again. You're like, oh my god, where did
Speaker 1: you hear that? That's not true? Just because you had it,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you can't get it again. And I
Speaker 1: don't know that people have this like chicken pox idea
Speaker 1: of like what COVID is or something. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it would have been ideal if um And to be clear,
Speaker 1: I've only listened to that one specific clip. I don't
Speaker 1: even know who was conducting the interview, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened after that, but in the moment, it
Speaker 1: would have been really nice for somebody to stop him
Speaker 1: and correct him, right, yeah, yeah, but not rather than
Speaker 1: just being like okay, thanks to rand Paul being like, hole, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that there's we're barely seeing that now, Like
Speaker 1: only in the last week have we seen the media
Speaker 1: like interrupt some kind of misinformation like mid breath to
Speaker 1: be like okay, okay, we're not doing that. We're not
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, I mean it's happen on Fox. I
Speaker 1: think I think that's been nice about at least nice
Speaker 1: you know, we're still doing global pandemic. But I do
Speaker 1: think that journalists broadly have I gotten much better at
Speaker 1: reporting on science. But when it comes to something like
Speaker 1: this like yeah, I interrupt the dude, man, it's just
Speaker 1: say that's not true, because it's not. You should know
Speaker 1: that by now, regardless of whether you're trained in science
Speaker 1: reporting or not. But again, I did not see the
Speaker 1: rest of that clip, so sure, and of course you
Speaker 1: are a legitimate journalist, so you can't. You're not out
Speaker 1: here with the spice takes like two scumbags like us
Speaker 1: on microphone, which we appreciate you class up the joint.
Speaker 1: Just want to catch what I'm saying here, you know, totally,
Speaker 1: And that's that's why we we've respect of journalists like
Speaker 1: you who would take the craft very seriously with respect.
Speaker 1: But yeah, with this, it almost seems like they're not journalists, right,
Speaker 1: It's just more like, Okay, we're on the side of
Speaker 1: just not pushing back against that because here we're tying
Speaker 1: this idea of being safe with COVID to fucking up
Speaker 1: the corporate overlords profits. What channel was he on when
Speaker 1: he said that, Fox Baby, Yeah, it's wild because you
Speaker 1: you brought up like the philosophical and like, you know,
Speaker 1: overarching legal precedent of like the shouting fire in a
Speaker 1: crowded theater is against the law. But like Samuel Alito
Speaker 1: just gave a speech to the Federalist Society, so you know,
Speaker 1: tune in for some great takes. But I was talking
Speaker 1: about how the speech being limited and like the unimaginable
Speaker 1: curbs on people's liberty during the pandemic. Uh, Like, it
Speaker 1: was so wild how he was treating people, asking Americans
Speaker 1: too quarantine and to not say things that were anti
Speaker 1: scientific and would lead to people's deaths as like unimaginable
Speaker 1: curbs on liberty. Well, I mean, but look at it
Speaker 1: very by the words I'm using, I mean, you're stopping
Speaker 1: people from doing things that is a curb to their
Speaker 1: liberally by yeah, maybe it is safe for people, but
Speaker 1: you can't deny that we are like, I think that's
Speaker 1: just a weird fucking loops they want to play without
Speaker 1: being like, I'm not denying science, but you also can't
Speaker 1: deny telling people to do this is technically curbing their freedoms.
Speaker 1: And that's going to allow millions of people to go
Speaker 1: in the street and just treat that says like you
Speaker 1: can't oppress me. It's like, no, that's not what the
Speaker 1: fun is going on. Yeah, so much of this comes
Speaker 1: down to like the individualistic nature of Americans broadly speaking.
Speaker 1: I'm Canadian, so thank you, thank you for debasing yourself
Speaker 1: and coming you know, so much of this is the
Speaker 1: individuality thing. Like it is hard for me sometimes to
Speaker 1: understand why the idea of helping your your fellow human,
Speaker 1: helping people and um working together seems like so complicated
Speaker 1: for for some folks here, it just it does boggle,
Speaker 1: boggle the mind, as we've just been chugging this bootstraps
Speaker 1: bullshit mythology forever to the point where it can to
Speaker 1: the point where it's played out to the its most
Speaker 1: extreme form, which is, you don't help him. They got bootstraps,
Speaker 1: don't help them, they got nobody's no, I don't know good.
Speaker 1: You got your own bootstraps, that's right. The only way
Speaker 1: you prove your self worth and if you do, and
Speaker 1: if you do fail, it is absolutely always your fault
Speaker 1: and nothing else could have possibly impacted whether you were
Speaker 1: able to succeed or not. Um and it is. It's
Speaker 1: just a way of controlling people. M hmm, absolutely in
Speaker 1: a way to just always keep the emphasis on yourself
Speaker 1: and never like, but what about the people that are
Speaker 1: actually creating the environment in which I'm trying to operate in,
Speaker 1: because there's another layer of control, power, influence that we
Speaker 1: are that most people do not have a hand in.
Speaker 1: And still thinking like, oh man, my damn bootstraps failed,
Speaker 1: rather than like, no, man, systemic racism has me in
Speaker 1: a fucking box that I cannot get out of, or
Speaker 1: the fact of white supremacy has me in a box
Speaker 1: that I cannot get out of UH. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it is really hard to see two because I'm half
Speaker 1: Japanese and on the other side of it, all I
Speaker 1: know is to consider other people or like almost to
Speaker 1: my own detriment, like to over extend myself because I
Speaker 1: don't do not want to inconvenience someone else, especially if
Speaker 1: I can do something to make it easier for other people.
Speaker 1: And it is like hard to even reconcile those because
Speaker 1: I'm being like, I also see how people think here too,
Speaker 1: not that I'm like I believe that, but I understand
Speaker 1: like that path. But at a certain point, you gotta
Speaker 1: be able to be like, no, man, sh she isn't
Speaker 1: not your vault. Like the way she gets better is
Speaker 1: like when you actually fucking look at the people who
Speaker 1: are actually in control here, rather than like putting laying
Speaker 1: the blame always on yourself. Right. The other thing that
Speaker 1: he raised, or one of the other things that a
Speaker 1: leader raised his Federalist Society UH commentary, was how Conservatives
Speaker 1: and Christians are being um discriminated against, and used the
Speaker 1: homophobic cake shop owner in Colorado as like an example
Speaker 1: where he thinks that like morality is being enforced against Christians,
Speaker 1: so it's like he Yeah, it's complete double standard, complete
Speaker 1: just to the highest level of the conservative movement, and
Speaker 1: you know, the highest level of the of the U. S.
Speaker 1: Government is just being infiltrated by this this ideology of
Speaker 1: hate and unless it's their dumbass like anti scientific beliefs,
Speaker 1: in which case they need to be protected. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one thing that I mean, speaking of the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: the New York Times reported that the President has been
Speaker 1: asking around and saying that he has to wait and
Speaker 1: see about whether the states are going to certify their
Speaker 1: votes or how they're going to approach that um before
Speaker 1: he admits defeat um, which is a step in the
Speaker 1: process that people have been kind of worried about since
Speaker 1: before the election, that he could work with Republican state
Speaker 1: legislatures to basically claimed that the election was stolen from
Speaker 1: him and then send a competing batch of electors, who
Speaker 1: would then create a constitutional crisis because you would have
Speaker 1: there's not like a clear answer of who would have
Speaker 1: the right to cast the votes for that state. That
Speaker 1: would go to the Supreme Court, which I think is
Speaker 1: where some of his earlier it'll probably get a Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: We'll see um statements were coming from And you know,
Speaker 1: the good news is that so far, it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like any states are taking that taking the steps to
Speaker 1: kind of go along with with that possibility. Um. But this,
Speaker 1: the statement, the speech that Alito gave, really does not
Speaker 1: make me very hopeful for anything going before the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: The writings on the wall, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: we're only going to see like worship out of the
Speaker 1: Conservatives as you know, the numbers dwindle and they become
Speaker 1: more and more of a mathematical minority that they're going
Speaker 1: to have to resort to this kind of like language
Speaker 1: and takes to be like come on, y'all, like the
Speaker 1: whiteness is on the line like this, but we'll we'll,
Speaker 1: we'll couch it in this other language. And I mean,
Speaker 1: the other thing that we can only feel good about
Speaker 1: is like you're saying, they're every like the legal arguments
Speaker 1: they even raising court, Like the judges are even confused
Speaker 1: as to what they're they're presenting, Like when you read
Speaker 1: the transcripts, they're like, so you're saying, like I don't understand,
Speaker 1: like you've got fake evidence here, but you auto sourced it,
Speaker 1: Like how do you how can I admit this as evidence, like, well,
Speaker 1: we used to capture, so anyone who submitted a whistleblower
Speaker 1: complaint had to verify they were human. It's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but you have things that are like outright like nonsense
Speaker 1: in here too, and like all right, well well we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. And you have like even like the
Speaker 1: law firms who are representing Trump in Pennsylvania, like they're
Speaker 1: pulling out because they it ship just got so weird
Speaker 1: when like Juliani claimed one of the whistleblowers was like
Speaker 1: a regular person, it was actually an attorney for the
Speaker 1: law firm, and they're like, okay, well we can't do
Speaker 1: this ship anymore. So, I mean, it's not like they're
Speaker 1: going about this in any kind of competent way, right.
Speaker 1: This is not actually like they really could have planned
Speaker 1: this out if they had wanted to, because President Trump
Speaker 1: has been talking about this for a very long time,
Speaker 1: but they didn't, and it seems very kind of piecemeal,
Speaker 1: like let's kind of put this together, and it's it's
Speaker 1: not being executed in any way that feels um I
Speaker 1: thought through in any way to perform Like the nefarious
Speaker 1: version is they were planning this from you know, after
Speaker 1: the mid terms, like, Okay, we're just gonna have to
Speaker 1: fully figure out how to just ensure no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: that we can do it. But I think this it's
Speaker 1: just so slap dash. And now even in Michigan, the
Speaker 1: leaders of the state legislature there, who are Republicans, they
Speaker 1: have said publicly like they're not going to funk around.
Speaker 1: They're saying, once the once the election is certified, the
Speaker 1: popular vote, it's certified, like the electors will go to
Speaker 1: the winner of the popular vote, which will be Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: So they're just like like, once it's certify, sure, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna we'll we'll still say it's not certified or whatever.
Speaker 1: But they're like the electors saying like no, like there's no,
Speaker 1: there's no interest in that um because it's just it's
Speaker 1: completely at a certain level, like there are some conservatives
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, but that's kind of like the deal here.
Speaker 1: It's like unless you can do like sort of more
Speaker 1: cynical voter suppression to try and eque out like margins,
Speaker 1: we can't go this far to be like oh no,
Speaker 1: this didn't happen. So some institutions are holding uh and
Speaker 1: but I mean I don't think you can blame the
Speaker 1: Republicans for not wanting to thwart the law, because like
Speaker 1: the best that like GOP operatives can do to like
Speaker 1: create whistleblowers, Like especially in Michigan. There's this clip I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna play of someone who they paraded out on
Speaker 1: Fox who you know, was apparently worked for Dominion or
Speaker 1: was hired by Dominion as some kind of like I
Speaker 1: t person on the day. But it's just I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure what this person is trying to say. I
Speaker 1: think what they're trying to talk about this on lou
Speaker 1: Dab show, like why there were vans in Michigan. That's
Speaker 1: suddenly like what were these vans that were there? And
Speaker 1: I don't just try and keep up UM with this
Speaker 1: low energy con job. So I worked at twenty four
Speaker 1: hour shift. UM. I started at six am and I
Speaker 1: got off at six pm or six am the next day. UM.
Speaker 1: So I started at six am November three, got off
Speaker 1: at six a m November four. So I was there
Speaker 1: during their day shifty and their night shift. UM. The
Speaker 1: city provides the workers with food for their shift. Well,
Speaker 1: they only had enough food for one third of their workers.
Speaker 1: So that is the reason why they were claiming that
Speaker 1: these vents were brought in, But these vans did not
Speaker 1: have taken ahead of them. And the vans, the vans
Speaker 1: that showed up, they were supposed to be filled with food,
Speaker 1: What did what did they have in them? Do you know?
Speaker 1: I never saw anything being brought out of the vans.
Speaker 1: I know that whatever was being brought out of the
Speaker 1: vans was being brought out of the back of the vans.
Speaker 1: But um, I was not allowed over in that area
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, so what like, you gotta do better
Speaker 1: than this? Not somebody who would match hold on? First
Speaker 1: of all, who works a twenty four hour shift like they,
Speaker 1: I mean illegally people would, but like I, I had
Speaker 1: to do the six am to six am shift and
Speaker 1: then like the main thing is like, and they only
Speaker 1: had food for one third of the people. Therefore a
Speaker 1: van came, but they weren't opening that. I don't think
Speaker 1: they took anything out the back. Maybe the passenger side door,
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the van it's like. It's so I don't even
Speaker 1: know what the arc is of this story. I mean
Speaker 1: all I can think. Listen, I've I've worked in TV,
Speaker 1: I still work in TV and correspondent for Vice News.
Speaker 1: I I don't who pre interviewed this person, That's my question.
Speaker 1: What Normally, like a producer will pre interview and like
Speaker 1: prep the person to get ready to like tell their story,
Speaker 1: and like, this is like the least convincing way that
Speaker 1: I would tell that story. And frankly, I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's a convincing way to tell it, but like
Speaker 1: m hmm, yeah, it's like because especially for something as
Speaker 1: massively important, if you're going to, you know, create some
Speaker 1: semblance of legitimacy to this clearly just nonsense like lie
Speaker 1: like yeah, get that ship rehearsed, rather than let the meander.
Speaker 1: And like lou Dobbs is also not like nimble enough
Speaker 1: to like interject to keep it going, like letting her
Speaker 1: trail off. And he's like, so there was an oh food,
Speaker 1: there were vans. Yeah, yeah, Okay, what are we what
Speaker 1: are we supposed to say? Now? Like so therefore what
Speaker 1: so what are you saying? Yeah? That was confusing. It
Speaker 1: seemed like the person who had prepped him for what
Speaker 1: was going to be revealed was whoever like writes the
Speaker 1: promos and was like in a earth chattering revelation coming
Speaker 1: and then he like didn't know that it was just
Speaker 1: going to be that they didn't that there was food
Speaker 1: or not food coming from a van, and he was
Speaker 1: just like confused. It seemed like, yeah, I'd fire my producers.
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for anybody getting fired. You're not. You're
Speaker 1: not You're not. I am a soulless ghoul, and I
Speaker 1: think they should have their jobs too, because they made
Speaker 1: that ship looks so dumb that it actually helped out. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing your job by doing nobody had Trump administration
Speaker 1: should be fired. Everybody should keep their job right up
Speaker 1: until their asses kicked out of power. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take another break. We'll come back and talk about some bullshit.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and what's the latest. We haven't heard
Speaker 1: from Disney in a wild miles. What's going on there?
Speaker 1: Fucking crying mouse gang is crying their eyes out because
Speaker 1: their money's going down. Uh. They had like a meeting
Speaker 1: or some online thing and they said, you know, in
Speaker 1: the state of California, they're very mad because they want
Speaker 1: Disneyland to be open. Okay, okay, is it that hard?
Speaker 1: They said, we are quote, we are very disappointed that
Speaker 1: the state of California continues to keep Disneyland closed. This
Speaker 1: is the Disney CEO, Bop Chappic or whatever I say.
Speaker 1: And he called the pandemic guidelines in the state quote arbitrary. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then being like, because you know, we've been able
Speaker 1: to open Disney World in Orlando, so why can't we
Speaker 1: do that just because there seems to be some kind
Speaker 1: of pandemic going on. I still don't understand they let
Speaker 1: us do it in Florida. And there's now a group
Speaker 1: of mayors who sent a letter to Gavin Newsom in
Speaker 1: California being like, open Universal Studios and open Disneyland or
Speaker 1: people will lose their jobs. And it's I like that
Speaker 1: there's always like this threat of people being like laid
Speaker 1: off rather than like hi, since like rather than being like, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the deal, since we're not willing to do right
Speaker 1: by our employees as this multinational, billion billions dollar company,
Speaker 1: h Gavin Newsoon, Gavin Newsom has given us no choice
Speaker 1: but to lay people off in order to not upset
Speaker 1: the people that are holding onto our stock at the moment.
Speaker 1: That's sort of what is going on here. And I
Speaker 1: don't know despite all of this, like boo who ship
Speaker 1: like they they've actually made a lot of money from
Speaker 1: Disney plus subscriptions, so all rings like very fucking corporate
Speaker 1: crimeer river nonsense. But like it's there are people though,
Speaker 1: who are even protesting, Like who aren't who are just
Speaker 1: Disney fans to reopen Disneyland. It's all very very American,
Speaker 1: very American people protesting on behalf. No, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: a very uniquely American dilemma behalf of corporations to let
Speaker 1: them kill you. Yeah, yeah, that's It's really hard to
Speaker 1: make a convince in a convincing argument for this, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's from what hasn't Disney been in trouble in
Speaker 1: the past for not paying its employees well at these
Speaker 1: at these amusement parks at all? Right, Like I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that that, you know, given their history, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that I would threaten to fire them because and
Speaker 1: basically throw tantrum right uh and and blame it on
Speaker 1: the governor. It just doesn't seem like a good tactic
Speaker 1: to me. So on the one hand, yes they don't
Speaker 1: pay them well, and yes they do endanger their lives
Speaker 1: or at least argue for the ability to. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, they do call them cast members instead
Speaker 1: of employees, so or wage slaves, yeah, which would be
Speaker 1: more appropriate the members cast members. So could you imagine
Speaker 1: like us using such euphemistic language like that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: those are cast members who are currently begging you for help,
Speaker 1: but don't mind them. Uh oh, I guess tears are
Speaker 1: coming out of that Mickey Mouse mask, the like the yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's it's America and it's this. But it's the same
Speaker 1: tact that like a lot of people use who are
Speaker 1: in industries where corporations are willing to ship jobs abroad.
Speaker 1: Is go, oh, it's not me that made the selfish
Speaker 1: choice to just ship your job abroad where the margins
Speaker 1: are greater for me from a profit standpoint, it's these immigrants.
Speaker 1: And then they're like, yeah, that's right. It wasn't my
Speaker 1: boss who was under paying me and never actually stood
Speaker 1: up for me. It's this guy he said to blame
Speaker 1: this nebulous group immigrants. And I think this helps for
Speaker 1: the narrative of like the same company about starting to
Speaker 1: put this at the feet of Gavin Newsom rather than themselves,
Speaker 1: you know, like that's what this is always about. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's not us. We're not being greedy, because you get it.
Speaker 1: If we if we start taking hits to our profits,
Speaker 1: then like what are we a less profitable company? God
Speaker 1: God forbid? Yes, alright. Another story that we've kind of
Speaker 1: lost sight of tragically, you know, while the election and
Speaker 1: the pandemic are going on, we lost sight of the renaissance,
Speaker 1: the Jeremy Renner Rennor career renaissance, his emerging as a
Speaker 1: musical talent uh in into our world, and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to check in because somebody from the Zeke Gang
Speaker 1: called to our attention that he was dropping a video
Speaker 1: in the next I think it was at the end
Speaker 1: of last week. That was a lyric video. And he's
Speaker 1: dropped a bunch of songs since Heaven Don't Got a Name,
Speaker 1: which got a lot of attention. Heaven is it, Heaven
Speaker 1: don't got a name, Heaven ain't got a name? Heaven
Speaker 1: or I don't know, Yeah, ain't or don't got either one.
Speaker 1: His lyrical prowess. I'm kind of blown away by what
Speaker 1: what he has continued to do because he has really
Speaker 1: doubled down on the aesthetic of like meaninglessness and like
Speaker 1: early nineties, like emo, macho bravado, like weird cheesiness, I
Speaker 1: love that you struggle to, like pinpoint, like where his
Speaker 1: creative center is? You know? So his he's got. He's
Speaker 1: really into using metaphors to describe relationships. His newest song
Speaker 1: that just dropped, that had the lyric video drop at
Speaker 1: the end of last week was Stereo Love uh and
Speaker 1: the In case you can't guess what the metaphor is there,
Speaker 1: I'll just read you a couple of lyrics. She speaks
Speaker 1: to me just like a song. Her words a melody.
Speaker 1: I can sing along. Her symphony is so sweet. I
Speaker 1: can't believe her sound. She's my stereo love life syn
Speaker 1: key the right arrangement. Her tempo is fine with me.
Speaker 1: And she loves my phrasing. Yeah, loves my phrasing. Let
Speaker 1: her conduct and Q my choir. We're both in harmony.
Speaker 1: She's mysterio love. So some of his other metaphor yes,
Speaker 1: very lyrically complex. Some of those other metaphor based songs,
Speaker 1: Love is a War, and some lyrics from that landmine
Speaker 1: frontline We're Soldiers? When did love become a war? Bullets
Speaker 1: shot through the floor because love is war? And also
Speaker 1: she's a fire. I know she's going to be my
Speaker 1: third degree embers in her eyes. She's gonna make a
Speaker 1: mess of me. She lights me up with her flames
Speaker 1: so bright. She's a fire, so don't get close. She'll
Speaker 1: kill you slow, which isn't a thing. I think, I
Speaker 1: think so, But like fire in and of itself is
Speaker 1: not a slow acting thing. So hot, there's smoke, she's
Speaker 1: a fire. Stop dropping roll on and on, she burns
Speaker 1: the night. And then another song that's come out in
Speaker 1: the since we last checked him with his recording career
Speaker 1: is a song called Sippy Cup, which is a song
Speaker 1: that seems to be about too hungover people getting drunk
Speaker 1: together to cura hangover while drinking out of an actual
Speaker 1: sippy cup. At least there's some storytelling there, you know what,
Speaker 1: extra points for storytelling. But it's very specific, it is.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't. I get the sense he doesn't know
Speaker 1: what a sippy cup is because he's just he's just
Speaker 1: referring to a cup that he's taking SIPs out of
Speaker 1: and calling it a sippy cup. Oh I see, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he thinks it's just a fun, flirty way to say
Speaker 1: a cup you sip out of I think is like
Speaker 1: massipih Cole. Uh. It's his fun and flirty song about
Speaker 1: being hungover and curing that with yeah exactly. Well as
Speaker 1: we know, heaven don't got a name. So, but I
Speaker 1: I feel like this might be like his the character
Speaker 1: he's been cultivating is this very specific, wildly improbable version
Speaker 1: of like I don't know. It reminds me of like
Speaker 1: a person from a Canadian nineties, like one of those
Speaker 1: movies from Canada a Little too Much Hard in the
Speaker 1: American we gave you Kian Reeves, Sandra, Oh, we gave
Speaker 1: you fucking j Bruschell, we gave you Eugene Levy, Like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I'm just saying that the movie
Speaker 1: When I Got When I have been to Canada and
Speaker 1: like turned on HBO there, it's like a whole different version. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're like we're like five years behind forever. And there's
Speaker 1: also like different movies that are like well produced and
Speaker 1: look like, oh yeah, that's a that's a movie. Why
Speaker 1: haven't I heard of this? Uh? And it's just like
Speaker 1: a whole different universe of movies that exist in Canada
Speaker 1: that are like produced by the Canadian or with the
Speaker 1: help of the Canadian government. That's correct. Subsidizing for the
Speaker 1: arts is substantial and sometimes some very bad things. And
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. I'll allow it. Fine, Thank you
Speaker 1: for explaining. I'm glad that you actually have some background
Speaker 1: and some context that makes me be a little bit
Speaker 1: better about your hot nineties Canadian tape. Uh. But it
Speaker 1: I do wonder like if he is going for that,
Speaker 1: like it's so synthetic and so like fake that he's
Speaker 1: as my mom would say, he's an odd one. That
Speaker 1: might be. I'll keep telling I'll keep talking about this,
Speaker 1: but like for my mom, votes in the Golden Globes,
Speaker 1: and like sometimes people who are nominated will like begin
Speaker 1: sending holiday cards, like just to kind of keep staying
Speaker 1: the good graces of the voting the voters of the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes that way, Like like Army Hammer will always
Speaker 1: send a card every year. Uh, and Jeremy render would
Speaker 1: for a while, Army Hammers looks like a family photo.
Speaker 1: It's him, his wife's children, they're smiling. Uh. Jeremy Renners
Speaker 1: was him in his living room with his hand in
Speaker 1: his pocket, standing in front of like a wall, like
Speaker 1: not even miling, and it's like happy holidays, and it
Speaker 1: was like there was yeah, you remember his name? Because
Speaker 1: I gotta say I got I kind of had to
Speaker 1: google this guy that makes sense. Yeah, which I'm not
Speaker 1: super proud of because I feel like I should have
Speaker 1: known who Jeremy Renies. I don't know. I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: kind of the coolest shit I've ever heard. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really know who the I don't even know
Speaker 1: who that's dope, Like this person has. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: yeah that guy, Yeah, hurt Locker face, it's he has.
Speaker 1: He had a very interesting career because he like after
Speaker 1: hurt Locker he was nominated. He had a really strong
Speaker 1: supporting role in the Town, and then Hollywood was like,
Speaker 1: this is the next dude, and they like hired him
Speaker 1: to be to replace Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible movies,
Speaker 1: and they hired him to replace Matt Damon in the
Speaker 1: Born movies. And in the Born movies they made one
Speaker 1: with him as as like Jason Borne Heir Apparent, and
Speaker 1: people were just like, yeah, no, not really, like it
Speaker 1: was just and then they went back to Matt Damon
Speaker 1: immediately after in the Mission Impossible movies, like he came
Speaker 1: on as a co Star, but they like Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: just through sheer tyranny of will just like was not
Speaker 1: willing to let it happen, and he just like kind
Speaker 1: of went away and it just never happened in that
Speaker 1: battle between two aliens. I put my money on Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise's powers, his alien powers over. The interviews with Renner
Speaker 1: are so interesting because he just seems like a loosely
Speaker 1: cobbled together assemblage of anecdotes that he heard about humans,
Speaker 1: Like he's a he's a house flipper. He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: a pacifist. I never fight. But in that same interview,
Speaker 1: he tells the story about how a guy made fun
Speaker 1: of his scarf, and so he and then shoved his sister,
Speaker 1: and so he got behind him and choked him out,
Speaker 1: put him to sleep. Okay, yeah, nobody likes getting shoved,
Speaker 1: especially whence her family member. I get it, But choking
Speaker 1: it's wild. Put him to sleep. That sounds like a story.
Speaker 1: That sounds like when I used to take Kravmaga, and
Speaker 1: the instructors would try and pretend it was a scenario
Speaker 1: what you're defending yourself, but you assaulted somebody, when it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he like why he shoved your sister.
Speaker 1: Oh you'll have to choke No, no, no, you made
Speaker 1: a mistake, Like that's how behind him you choke him out.
Speaker 1: He choke him out like because he's proud, Like he's
Speaker 1: like proud of that ship. At the end he's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: so I got behind, choked him out, put him to sleep.
Speaker 1: Like okay, so now you're toxic, big dig guy. But
Speaker 1: before you're the pacifist like it is maybe maybe he
Speaker 1: is an algorithm, you know that is like just processing
Speaker 1: this data and being like, yes, this is another human
Speaker 1: experience that I had when in which my sister was shoved.
Speaker 1: I had to choke this mf out. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: sippy cup. That is the thing that I was gonna ask,
Speaker 1: what is a very Canadian movie in the vein of
Speaker 1: what Jack's talking about, like for people to like to
Speaker 1: you as a Canadian, because I want you to be
Speaker 1: able to sort of put me on to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what Jack is talking about is summed up in a
Speaker 1: in these films or director's work. Okay, so here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I'm from Quebec, which means that I my like movie
Speaker 1: references are all like extremely French or like kip rather. Actually,
Speaker 1: my mother will be very upset at me for saying
Speaker 1: that they're French, but they're like in the French language,
Speaker 1: their francophone so and like kip Qua movies are actually
Speaker 1: like they win Pan Medal all the time. They're like
Speaker 1: it can all the time. They're like actually very good
Speaker 1: movies except for a few sinkers. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: have like favorite anglophone Canadian movies, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I've been paying attention to the terrible ones is
Speaker 1: like or not even terrible, but I guess like what's
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean anything because I think one of
Speaker 1: my favorite really random Canadian movies is called Men with
Speaker 1: Brooms and it is a movie about a guy who
Speaker 1: makes like a curling comeback. Um he's so good, highly recommended,
Speaker 1: definitely worth your time. He was like a small town guy,
Speaker 1: he used to be really good. Something traumatic happens and
Speaker 1: like people are just trying to get him to play again. Uh,
Speaker 1: Men with Brooms is a very good movie. Um. One
Speaker 1: that crossed over was onto American TV, and then like
Speaker 1: really made an impression was Teen, which which is about
Speaker 1: a teen which um uh yeah, yeah, it's just that
Speaker 1: that's one worth checking out. How did this get made?
Speaker 1: Covers these movies? Sometimes one called Little Italy is a
Speaker 1: classic that they've talked about and let's taken on like
Speaker 1: lore and they they've talked about it being like a
Speaker 1: very Canadian movie. Um right, A couple to check out
Speaker 1: the ones on. The times I've interacted with a Canadian
Speaker 1: film would be like when I'm like just binging Christmas
Speaker 1: movies because I'll watch like anything that has snow in
Speaker 1: the cover, and that's when I've crossed over and being like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, this is okay, Yes, there, this is Canadian
Speaker 1: because you can tell, like there's subtleties in the flavor.
Speaker 1: It's got a flavor that like I but a Canadian
Speaker 1: Christmas movie hits even harder because it's like got the
Speaker 1: warmth of like Canadian. Yeah, and even and even though
Speaker 1: it's like a campy movie, it's like it's so sincere
Speaker 1: that it fries my circuits a little bit because I'm
Speaker 1: used to seeing like Agro American camp bullshit and this one,
Speaker 1: like you're like, I don't is is real sincerity or fake?
Speaker 1: It startling? Right? Yeah? But I but that's when I
Speaker 1: know instantly when I'm watching my Oh this was Canadian.
Speaker 1: I like it. I have to find this rom comm
Speaker 1: that I watched because it had like movie stars in it,
Speaker 1: to the point that I was like, why don't why
Speaker 1: don't I know about this? But I think it was
Speaker 1: only released widely in Canada. Um, and it was like
Speaker 1: made with the Canadian like government's uh funding. And I'll
Speaker 1: find it for a future episode. But it's it's just
Speaker 1: like an alternate reality. Where was it, Membo Italiano? I
Speaker 1: don't think it was. No, and it wasn't my big
Speaker 1: fact great wedding. No no, no, no, all right, um yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll find it for for people that are interested in it.
Speaker 1: You can. I think watch Men with Brooms on Prime.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, I have to I have based on that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have to see this. I have to
Speaker 1: see this, watch it, watch it. It got a nomination
Speaker 1: for the Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress
Speaker 1: in a Leading Role. What's a Genie Award. It's like
Speaker 1: the Canadian Oscars, right, like oh fuck you? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Telling. Yeah, It's like
Speaker 1: it's like the Cane. It's like the Juno's are like
Speaker 1: our music awards, right right, right, So like Tegan Sarah
Speaker 1: have won a bunch of Juno's, you know, the new Pornographers,
Speaker 1: those kind of shot out much music, you know. Oh yeah, man, yes,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Miles. You you were saying the
Speaker 1: other day that even though we've stopped our rewatch segment,
Speaker 1: you've continued watching stuff on Netflix in the Netflix Top ten.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you an opportunity to I'm
Speaker 1: still making my way through, uh, The Last Airbender, almost
Speaker 1: almost through it. It's great. I appreciate everybody recommended it
Speaker 1: to me. Appreciate y'all. Great show, Thank you all. But
Speaker 1: what what are some of the newer shows that you've
Speaker 1: been watching? Well? I had to again, you know me
Speaker 1: the holiday movies. I watched Holiday with Emma Roberts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I haven't met a holiday film. I
Speaker 1: won't sit through the entire thing, even if I'm like
Speaker 1: screaming how bad it is. I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: just have the patients. I'm like, yeah, but I know
Speaker 1: they will be together, but I just gotta make sure
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Even though it's they're so formulaic, it's
Speaker 1: just so weird how I'm like interesting. I know. I
Speaker 1: think it's also comforting because they're so predictable that you'll
Speaker 1: never have to be you, you don't have to be
Speaker 1: too engaged. But yeah, holiday was fun. As I was
Speaker 1: saying the week before. It's written in a way though,
Speaker 1: where I was getting mad at the writer for some
Speaker 1: of the jokes they were writing because they just didn't
Speaker 1: totally jibe with like what was happening in the story
Speaker 1: or what the sort of aesthetic of the film was,
Speaker 1: so like suddenly would be like a very blue joke
Speaker 1: and I'm like that was so out of left field,
Speaker 1: and it just seems like you did that to like
Speaker 1: laugh at something you wrote on the paper. Um, but
Speaker 1: still worth watching if you like holiday films. But the
Speaker 1: thing that I've been watching a lot is in Hotel,
Speaker 1: which is this Australian show where people like have homes
Speaker 1: they want to airbnb, but it turns into like the
Speaker 1: Caddiess Ship, where it'll be like five couples or five
Speaker 1: pairings of people who own a property and they want
Speaker 1: to make it an Airbnb or instant hotel, and these
Speaker 1: couples all stay at each other's homes like while the
Speaker 1: host couple won't be there, but the other three competing
Speaker 1: people will be there, and then they start like raiding it.
Speaker 1: So some people have like really interesting houses, like this
Speaker 1: one couple had like a house that was like in
Speaker 1: an old mine, like a dugout mind, so it's like
Speaker 1: actually a cave house, which is really kind of cool.
Speaker 1: But then they're like these hoity toity like Australian people,
Speaker 1: like it feels like a bit of a dust being
Speaker 1: in here, so I don't really I can't really write
Speaker 1: it that high, so and like and then like the
Speaker 1: people get it's funny because at a certain point they
Speaker 1: they'll tell the other people how they were talking about
Speaker 1: their homes, and people get very you know, they take
Speaker 1: it very personally, especially when it's like their own homes.
Speaker 1: So like people will like start crying, like and I
Speaker 1: don't mean to cry because I know it's just a
Speaker 1: writing and it's not really to do with me, but
Speaker 1: it's really hot to hear something like and it's just
Speaker 1: funny to watch these people. Like I start watching it too,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I would start talking about this
Speaker 1: or this or this, so I don't know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a fun way to escape and just look
Speaker 1: at like the landscapes of another country, because truly, like
Speaker 1: they'll go from every sort of landscape in Australia to
Speaker 1: where sums out back and then it's like a rainforest
Speaker 1: and the beach town they have a desert like their
Speaker 1: their ecosystems are out of control, so varied, so varied.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's another one I think is if you like,
Speaker 1: if you want to watch people talk caddie about each
Speaker 1: other's homes, that could be indeed instant hotel. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean we're at a time where like you can't go
Speaker 1: inside anybody's homes. Like I could see the attraction. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna watch it, but like I see
Speaker 1: that I don't have to. Yeah, yeah, I'll wait for
Speaker 1: it to become a worse American version of that show.
Speaker 1: The American version be so fucked up because there is
Speaker 1: a bit of gamesmanship, like, yeah, if you rate someone's
Speaker 1: home lower, you have a better chance of your home
Speaker 1: getting to like the Grand Final, which is really like
Speaker 1: they give you like ten grand to like fix your
Speaker 1: home up based on what other people said, and then
Speaker 1: you can win like a larger prize. But I could
Speaker 1: see Americans being on the show were so cynical and
Speaker 1: like just prize focused at the expense of their own
Speaker 1: humanity or being kind to another person that they're like,
Speaker 1: oh this Zeros, I give the Zeros, I give my place,
Speaker 1: ten this place Zeros. No. Yeah, so but there's just
Speaker 1: the yeah there, it's a bit of travel, a bit
Speaker 1: of entering people's home. So yeah, it does have a
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of everything in it. Arial
Speaker 1: is there anything you've been binging or binge that you'd recommend? Um,
Speaker 1: I recommend rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's where I'm
Speaker 1: at right now. It's my comfort watch. Um. I finally
Speaker 1: convinced to my wife, who has been extremely resistant to
Speaker 1: watching this show. She's not necessarily um into like action
Speaker 1: and fighting and like neither am I Like, that's not
Speaker 1: why I watched this show. Um, and I finally convinced her.
Speaker 1: She's finally hooked. This is good. Guys, Like, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm like, like TV wise, I'm living my best
Speaker 1: life because I get watched one of my favorite childhood
Speaker 1: shows with with the love of my life. So it's
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Yeah. Stacy Abrahams even came through with her.
Speaker 1: Buffy takes on Twitter. Oh yeah, really, oh yeah, she
Speaker 1: go on Twitter. She fucking she's in it. She's in it.
Speaker 1: She's talking about how Angel was the best boyfriend for
Speaker 1: Buffy at the time. Okay, I mean, yes, yes, that is.
Speaker 1: That is And you know she she writes romance novels,
Speaker 1: so like she would know how to complimate romance and
Speaker 1: how to talk about that stuff. So yes, I will
Speaker 1: go on Twitter. I'm probably like your wife. Where my
Speaker 1: partner her majesty. She loves Buffy and she's like, in
Speaker 1: the beginning of Quarantine, she's like, fine, I'll watch fucking Sopranos,
Speaker 1: but you gotta watch Buffy. And I'm a deal. Uh.
Speaker 1: And in the beginning I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: She's like, Okay, looks Sason ones camp be okay, the right, right,
Speaker 1: don't watch season one? So can I if I permit
Speaker 1: me to give some advice to your partner? Do you
Speaker 1: do not need any yes? Please? Um the place where
Speaker 1: I managed to get my wife actually interested with season four.
Speaker 1: So I think what's gonna happen is we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: we're now in season five, We're gonna keep watching and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have to go back and then we're
Speaker 1: also going to watch Angels series as well. Um, but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it is. It is hard like you. And we started
Speaker 1: in the middle of season four actually, and that got
Speaker 1: her hooked. At the beginning. I was like, I get it,
Speaker 1: like I see what's fun and then you see like
Speaker 1: sort of like the morality tales that are like woven
Speaker 1: into them, especially interesting when like what they're using to
Speaker 1: talk about, like whether it's like an unstable home life
Speaker 1: or whatever, but the allegory of like a demon or
Speaker 1: like a ghost mom who's a cheerleader. But the other thing,
Speaker 1: the one that got me was once more with feeling
Speaker 1: the musical episode because the fun and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this show got range and that's what that was. That's
Speaker 1: where I bought in. And I was like, okay, I'll
Speaker 1: see the other thing. Okay, so you're already bought it and
Speaker 1: and she doesn't like your partner doesn't know I'm I'm
Speaker 1: bought it. I'm bought it. Yeah all right, okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: then feeling why did you even let me do that?
Speaker 1: That's like so I think I think for most people too,
Speaker 1: because it's true, like if you are trying to get
Speaker 1: people in the Buffy verse. You know, Season one is
Speaker 1: a little bit different, but I appreciate that because I
Speaker 1: was willing to be like sit, you know, like you
Speaker 1: gotta you want to see the whole thing. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: personal advice is start with season four. The episode is
Speaker 1: called Hush and it's one of the only episodes of
Speaker 1: Buffy that was nominated for an Emmy in right, not
Speaker 1: not Emmy, Yes, and Emmy in writing. Um it's vaginie,
Speaker 1: I think, yes, Ariel, It's been so fun having you
Speaker 1: on the daily zeit guys, where can people find you
Speaker 1: and follow you? Well? Number one is I am the
Speaker 1: host of my own podcast. Uh. The podcast is called
Speaker 1: Vice News Reports. It is a documentary style news podcast.
Speaker 1: It's not like news news in the way that like
Speaker 1: this podcast is for instance, but no, no, but like
Speaker 1: not to take away from that, everybody needs that. What
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that it's complimentary, right, It is a
Speaker 1: complimentary listen. So we take deep dives, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of field audio. It just launched. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: if I can say this myself, I think it's really good.
Speaker 1: Um so I Vice News Reports is number one subscribed
Speaker 1: to that Um, leave us a review, you know, um
Speaker 1: and otherwise Twitter, I'm at a d r S on Twitter. Wow,
Speaker 1: early adopter. Yeah, Zigang, please check the show out because
Speaker 1: it is fantastic and I think a good companion to
Speaker 1: this where we talk the nonsense and then he really
Speaker 1: intelligent people with journalistic integrity give you some more insight.
Speaker 1: What's journalism again, I've never never heard that word before.
Speaker 1: What What is something our parents wish we did? Uh?
Speaker 1: What is there a tweet or some of the work
Speaker 1: of social media you've been enjoying. I mean when when
Speaker 1: you guys asked me about this, Like the first thing
Speaker 1: that came to mind from this week was was you know,
Speaker 1: because everybody was like very much on this four seasons
Speaker 1: landscaping thing. Um and listen, I'm here for that joke.
Speaker 1: I I think it's great and also I like a
Speaker 1: good contrarian viewpoint. Um, and my good friend any fellow
Speaker 1: podcaster Rose Eveleth tweeted out, like, for every four seasons
Speaker 1: Total Landscaping shirt you purchase, I hope you're donating an
Speaker 1: equivalent amount to an actual cause. And you know what
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like takes the fun out of
Speaker 1: out of the story, but I appreciate it, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a good reminder, like maybe you shouldn't be spending
Speaker 1: all your money on a joke T shirt when actually
Speaker 1: they're like everything is on fire. Yeah, and and there
Speaker 1: are races that money should be poured into in Georgia
Speaker 1: that could actually, you know, help move some things in
Speaker 1: a proper direction for sure. Miles, where can people find you?
Speaker 1: What's twee you've been enjoying? You can find me on
Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray and also the
Speaker 1: other podcast for twenty Day Fiance Talking ninety Day Fiance,
Speaker 1: which is just you know, a great salve on our
Speaker 1: reality wounds. Uh, let's see another a tweet that I
Speaker 1: like it too from Reductress. First one mom who blames
Speaker 1: young people for spreading COVID nineteen also demands you fly
Speaker 1: home for Thanksgiving during pandemic. Very very true. And another one,
Speaker 1: uh is study twelve donuts too much, six donuts not enough,
Speaker 1: which feels right because I can whenever I get a
Speaker 1: dozen donuts, I get through three donuts instantly, like the
Speaker 1: first donut is actually three, and then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've had three, and then I'm like, well then what's
Speaker 1: four and five? It's it's it's a slippery slope. So
Speaker 1: if you're if you're out there donut gang, you know
Speaker 1: we see you. Yeah, it is a good uh And
Speaker 1: I think what something that doctors all agree is a
Speaker 1: perfect amount of donuts. Eight donuts a day keeps the
Speaker 1: doctor away. So that's what they said. Do you think
Speaker 1: the have you ever actually polished off a full dozen
Speaker 1: like in one day? Because I have no, I don't
Speaker 1: think it, but I've used the argument around nine pm
Speaker 1: when there's three left that well, you don't, these ships
Speaker 1: are going to be bad tomorrow morning. So you're not wrong, right,
Speaker 1: like a dry donut right exactly. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: feare I have eaten like a trash bag full of
Speaker 1: Reese's cups and in the past month, so like in
Speaker 1: a single night. So yeah, it's not because I have
Speaker 1: better sense than that. I just haven't had the opportunity.
