Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh no, Dr McIntosh, No, No, what happened was sunk
came to my window and I think sprayed me. That's
what that odor is. I know it smells skunky too. Yeah,
I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna try and try and wipe
it off. But don't worry. I got I gotta teach
this anyway. Kids. Hey, principle is kind of a cop anyway,
So welcome Internet Class students listeners to the season one

(00:22):
seventy nine, Another one in the Bag, Episode one of
the Daily Zeitgeist, the production of My Heart Radio. It's
the podcast where we take a look, actually nay, a
deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say, wow, okay,
well there's work to do here. Uh, don't worry. It's Monday,
April five. My name is Miles Gray, a k A.

(00:48):
Cannabis crushed in a perfect line, stop what said up
and ready to measure the time, The blunt guest rolled
and the end lit up, toking and smoking and burns
to the top. He definitely maneuvers the runs. Then the
stalls time ticking fast as in his notebook, he scrawls
high as a kite that checks on the time. Half
of Graham and it's done right at nine. But I'm

(01:09):
but I'm but mile smoking the distance. Uh shout out
to on discord. I think you're talking about how talking
to my therapist about these bus going that they were,
they are, they will. I should probably do some time
laps footage, but I think her Majesty would ask you
if I've done other chores, and I'll say no inevitably,
so we'll have to wait on that footage. But I digress.

(01:33):
I want to join my co host, my guest co host,
someone who has been helping guide me, the misguided high
substitute teacher while Jack is away, to keep me, you know, focused,
and so please help me. Welcome the brilliant, that talented,
the hilarious, the energetic, the dedicated, the nerd um and
you damn sure she's gonna be in a fucking movie

(01:55):
theater the second this ship opens up, probably with me
and when maybe we're smoking a blunt, maybe'll get kick out.
I don't know, but please welcome Joel Money. It's Joel
Joe Well, Joel Moonique. I'm begging up you please come
host my pod Rainbow. He wrote beautiful lyrics for me
and I just forever grateful. Thank you so much. I'm

(02:17):
so glad to be back. Justin pointed out to me
after recording the other day that I went on a
six minute rant about when do you go back to
the movie in real time? But yeah, Frank other rant,
I was like, I'm going to the movies with this motherfucker.
I don't know what they just the energy. It's like
one of those things where you know somebody's feeling something

(02:38):
so deeply and you're like, I trust this energy, So
I'm gonna. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna let
this guide me. Yeah, and that's what I felt like, Listen,
we we go into the movies. I'm gonna try. I've
already put a little bug in Zacky or I'm like, bro,
have your girl me up with those black widow tickets. Breath,
let's go. I'm trying to I'm trying to get it
to the to the you know, therrible Donald, come on,

(03:01):
everybody out, Come on. Donald. You were my light skinned idle.
I had nobody who looked like me till Murray and Clueless,
And did I model my entire energy after Murray from Clueless?
After that, you goddamn right, I did because I got
no one else Donald. I definitely wanted to be from Scrubs,
but mostly just so I could have um Carla, his

(03:24):
partner on the show. I thought Carlo was dope as
hell's funny, she ran shit, So yeah, there's an idolization
for share for the ladies. Meanwhile, I was just asking everybody.
I said, yo, woman, let me five dollars, and they're
like what, And I'm like, that didn't work like it
did in the movie. It's not it's not the same.
It doesn't hit quite right. You gotta have the braces

(03:46):
and the bucket hat exactly. I mean, it's got it
all though. And then even then he really does. He's
able to sort of dismantle the misogyny even within that,
which I think is a That's that's where Murray does
redeem himself. Um. I believe that when he says most
of the feminine pronouns do have mocking but not necessarily

(04:07):
and misogynistic undertones, and then he does his tongue things
and then he walks off. Anyway, all that to say,
we need to introduce our guests. Who is someone I've
been missing, Somebody I've been wanting to hear from someone
who really put it in our ears to say, you know,
look around for all the destabilization that's happening in the
United States. That's that's the long road to you know,

(04:31):
total failure, societal collapse, or some kind of bad thing.
And ever since then, I think we always trying to
keep that front of mine and not in a bad way,
but just in a way that we're trying to inform
ourselves and be aware. So please help me, please help
me introduce our guest today, the wonderful, hilarious, talented, brilliant
Zara nor Box Obama. Mike Here I come, Obama, Mike, Hey,

(05:00):
good morning, good morning, good afternoon. And if I don't
see you later, goodnight or whatever they said in Truman Show.
Oh I missed the nineties. Yeah, time you'll watch the
nineties movie lately it's different. Yeah, it hits weird. Did
I watch recently? I watched a volcano? Is that what

(05:21):
Tommy Jones? And they have to they have to blow
up the Beverly Center to reroute the magma off Alasiana. Yes,
it was fantastic and so accurate. If we're gonna keep
suggesting nineties movies with volcanoes. Uh, is it George versus
a Volcano, Joe versus the Volcano, Joe versus Volcano. Listen,
it's the wildest movie you will ever watch. Somehow it

(05:44):
is um irreverent, It breaks all the rules of logic,
and yet you're still like, damn it, that's such a
cute little movie. I love it. Check out all the
volcano movies from the nineties. We're talking Dante's Peak. Yes, Yes,
that's Pures broad Man, Yes, and Linda Hamilton's Yeah. Damn,

(06:05):
that's a good fucking that's a peak peak packed cast.
But I feel like there was a thing where I
remember scientists or debating if Dante's Peak or Volcano was
the better one, and they're saying, well, because they are
saying that, like at the LaBrea tar Pits, by virtue
of that, I will have to give the edge to
Volcano's or maybe that was something volcano uh, I don't know,

(06:33):
to uh to Vulcanto, furious Volcano, I don't know, says
volcano fire on the Mountain. And I'm not sure if
that's like a more full title for the original or
a follow up sequel. Oh, that has to be is
it Tommy Lee Jones, Because if it isn't you know
that's one of them, Jankie. They're like, hey, we still
own the I P, so we can technically use it.

(06:55):
I'm so mad that I missed the six minute rant
on missing movie theaters because you know what else I
miss about the trickle down of movie theaters in our
lives is to divorce like seeing reviews. Remember, reviews are
like flash across the screen and be like oh and

(07:17):
then if you did a parody, they'd say a tour
de farce of epic proportions, like I am seeing hot sharts.
Part I guess is that that deep voice narrator describing
everything else far away? Oh God, that guy got you
amped for a movie and now he's gone get that

(07:37):
man his job back. That guy like he does like
drops for the radio though too, you know what I mean? Like,
but who's listening to the radio. The children listen to,
you know, YouTubers and podcast like in Bodeo Boys, they
got the one of the announcer guys to say, you know,
the most dangerous podcast in the universe drop Like is

(07:58):
that I think one of those o g And now
you guys so anyway, you know what the dailys E
guys needs a trailer, like a like a we done
our part, like a proper thriller trailer. We're a diffuse group,
you know, like we can't you know when you do that.
We're just a movement, you know what I mean, A
bowel movement if you will, of podcast proportions. Zara, how

(08:18):
is everything? How are you doing? Almost new? Aw? You living?
You are? Oh wow? So let's see in the last month,
I almost died. No, yeah, h if I can ask?
So sorry to hear that I had to have Thank
you me who I had? You know when sometimes you
surprise yourself and it's like, oh hey, who is like life?

(08:41):
What about that? I had? Fomo Ultimate Fomo mortality, the
Ultimate Fomo great movie exactly unless you believe in reincarnation,
and which case, you know, fucking your infinity? Did you

(09:03):
come back as a mushroom? You assessing nuclear ways? I'm good.
I had. I had to have emergency surgery on my
gall bladder. Girl, that's a lot. I'm so thankful to
my body and my nerves for feeling that pain and
not trying to write it out because yeah, they said

(09:28):
that if I had waited a day I would have died.
Oh my gosh, Sarah, Wow. And I straight up like
I had learned this trick to sort of like move
gall stones out of the duct and ease the pain.
And I was feeling like not that, you know, I

(09:50):
was feeling better, and so I wondered for a second,
like should I go in right? And I did, and
I'm so grateful. Okay, let me listen to all of
you listens, and unfortunately, like that's another reason why it's
so important that people have health care, because there there
is an entire I was on that insurance plan too,

(10:12):
called do I really gotta go though? You know what
I mean? And that's and to hear that you were
within hours of a completely opposite outcome, I think more
than anything like we have that these are these are
the kinds of situations in which you don't want a
person to have to consider if when they feel physically ill,
that they can't get help. So I'm so glad that

(10:34):
you on the other side of that. So yes, okay,
well ship eventful and has that given you a renewed
sense of vigor that I'm sure only something is intense
like that could Oh yeah, because they took out my
gall bladder and now I can have fats again and
I'm cheesesing it up. Ship there we go. I'm coming

(10:56):
through with a brick of char later on, you know
what I mean. Um, well, I'm okay, So glad we
got that out of the way. Glad to know you're
having cheese. You're living your best life now and your
phoneo is gone and we can look on too bigger
things and we will get to know you even better.
But first we got to tell people we're gonna talk
about again. Just wondering if corporations really are going to

(11:18):
have to be the people to save this democracy, because
it's it seems like those are the ones that are
making noise up loud enough that maybe something will happen.
But still TBD. I want to shine some light on
a like a COVID anti vax er grifter boot camp.
Um the CBC Shout Out Canada. They basically paid for

(11:40):
this person's course and then reported back like what exactly
was it was doing? And um, yeah, you'll you might
not be surprised to hear how these people are talking
and trying to figure out how to manipulate people into
avoiding science. Um, Andrew Yang, he is back with a
sucking banger. He's gonna blow the doors off your fucking

(12:03):
civic with this new track. Oh my god, we're gonna
have to do a hip hop review and guess what,
I'm not gonna pull punches, and uh, we'll talk about Google,
Google Maps. They're preparing us for the apocalypse, but like
with really cool features that honestly like will make it
easier to navigate the apocalypse. So I'm I'm I feel
good about it. Mixed feelings. Well, you know, look, it's

(12:26):
this is where we are, folks. Yeah, and we are
gonna and it's gonna be like Terminator where Skynett is Google.
You know what I mean? Uh? Boy? Okay, So um,
let's keep our focus on you, the guest, and ask
what is something from your church history that is revealing

(12:46):
about who you are? Is turbo vax guy hot? Who's
turbo vax? Okay? So when you wrote that, I thought
you wrote turbo tax wrong. Yeah. I learned about it
this morning and I saw it on my Twitter feed
this morning. Everybody was asking if he was hot, and

(13:08):
so I wanted to type it in and no, and uh,
he created a website in New York that has gotten
like thousands is it thousands of people vaccinated everybody fact
checked everything. I say, millions of people thanks to this
guy the entire United States. And then uh he closed

(13:32):
down the website for a hot minute um saying that
if Asian Americans aren't welcome in this country, then his
contributions aren't either. Okay, Yeah, and he got a huge
pun intended viral response. Yeah, he kind of. But I
wanted to know if he was hot. Does okay, I'm examining.

(13:55):
He has m hmmm, I think a kind of eyes.
Tenant ten would run my fingers through his hair. Yeah,
the hair is luxury. Cheekbones real good, like just real sculpted.
I would have given a room for improvement on the cheekbones.
See for me, it's the mustache. It's the mustache. Is

(14:18):
it's not killing the game for me? This guy like
a nine out of ten like he the mustaches. I
feel like we could go full beard, which might suggestion
for Allmond just grow beard or anyone a brother here.
Some of us cannot grow full beards. Some of us.
You know what that mustache is? The motherfuck? I feel you, Brot,

(14:44):
I feel you like. You can call me vatty for short.
All right, now, comment good on, good on, he's that here,
he's working it. You can call me vatty. Look like,
are you in it for the vaccines? Are you in
it just to be someone's vaccine daddy? Daddy? We both listen.
It's for a long time. For the single folks. You

(15:06):
don't know this. You're happily shacked up. But for the
single folks, it's about to be the wildest summer effort.
You know. I feel like you guys are going about
hotness all wrong. Here as a married woman, what I
really look for is can I wear those clothes? Yes? Yes? Okay?
Are you feeling the cable knit sweater or not? Yeah?

(15:29):
We're always feeling that. The party he has and he
has a card again, Yeah, I'm okay. And Hannekin, that's
a mannequin you're lusting after. I would be killing it
in Zara. We're in a zara and that is a mannequa.

(15:53):
But go off, I get it, different strokes and everything.
This is my last for last. Let you think is overrated?
Bidence plan in response to the Atlanta shooting, Well, I
saw hot flash of a plan that says something like

(16:14):
we hear you, and that's why, right, okay, heard, heard, heard,
that's why we're going to up our surveillance of culturally
specific groups and seek out domestic abusers for more lists.
And I was like, huh, that's problematica encyclopedia PROBLEMATICA you

(16:40):
want it? No, No, we don't need more CARCETL technology introduced. Yeah,
that's the exact opposite of what we're hoping for. Let's
all say it together now, just gun control. No, not
not see because everything has to mean chitching for an industry. Oh,
terrorism that's inspired by our form policy. Let's start a

(17:01):
war and fire and then we can give all the
money to the military industrial complex. We've got people asking
for black lives they matter. Well, what about more police?
Huh exactly like the answer to the terrorists. Think you'd
be like, change the funk your foreign policy. And white
terrorists in this country filmed themselves, I mean so many,

(17:23):
and they're on camera and they don't care. They don't
It's all on camera white privilege and supremacy. It's like
having the Star and Mario brothers. I'll say that every
time these people were like doo do do do do
do do do do? Dude, Like, what what's gonna stop me?
The law? No, like those my brothers. We love each other. Yeah,

(17:44):
I mean, zero problems between. I mean, I think I
think most people are feeling in response to a lot
of solutions that are coming out of this White House.
They're just like, you're almost you're not actually not in
this case, you're not even there, you're not even close. Um,
but you're trying something. I remember when Maizie Herrono and
a few other um A p I lawmakers were like,

(18:05):
you need to have somebody in your cabinet because we're
looking at your numbers and we're seeing a big goose
egg for a specific group and so oh yeah, yeah
we'll get to that. Well yeah yeah, yeah, bet like
what so yeah, it's hard to know what will happen.
But hey man, he's getting these these checks out there.
Weren't two thousand dollars? Huh yeah, what where's mine? Well,

(18:29):
you know, just just a little bit of time, you know. Look, Zara,
we hear you, We hear you. Okay, you're heard. And
as long as I say that, I don't have to
offer a solution, because I'm just gonna say I respect
what you said. Am I gonna do anything about it? No?
But I will say my ears are working. This ship
makes me want to crawl back into my infected gall

(18:50):
bladder with cheese. And uh, you can't take your call
bladder with you, right, who says you know? I'm saying
like after the surgery. Uh? Oh, I didn't try. I
think I asked my friend who works in oncology about
things like that, and they're like, no, typically we're not
going to send you home with medical waste. Legally they're

(19:12):
not allowed. You're supposed to take care of that stuff.
But if you have a cool doctor or somebody who
works in a hospital, you can you can't get it,
they will slip it to you. And if you know
somebody who works you know, in any kind of at
a hospital too, you can get anybody's medical waste for

(19:34):
the you know the homie that's gross. Adding along that,
I was like, the words got caught, right. I was like, wait,
you got you? But yeah, because I think like the
only time I see to be like Dr pimple Popper,
but I get that's not really She'll be like, okay,
you want this, like big gas stone. I get it
because that was something like inhibiting them, and it's like whatever,

(19:56):
it's like calcified sister or what a sebacious sister or whatever.
So man, that lady brilliance. Do you watch dr since
the YouTube days come on? Now? Yeah, it's so it's
so satisfying. Really, I can't watch it. I'm it's awful,
but I love it, like I'm just like no, no,
oh my god, yes, get it all out, like everything

(20:19):
tape it like, just push all of the nasty puts
out of their faith. I used to go, I used
to be a regular or that sub breddit are popping
um and they would have I'm telling you the ones
that were on a fucking farm a cow's leg cyst boo. Okay,
I've never gotten into the animal cysts at that point.

(20:40):
At that point, it just looks like somebody cut open
the side of an above ground pool. Um. That's a visual, yeah,
but it's just it's like a different there's look different
strokes for different species, you know what I mean, exactly
for different stops. And finally, Zara, what is something that

(21:01):
you think is underrated? Antihista means oh, saviors, go on.
After my surgery, I developed a full body rash and
FBR okay and f b R for my g s E.

(21:22):
I don't know what the stands for, and like the
UK for your studies, just picking letters. Oh, I love it.
So you got you got the rash? And what the
antihistamines came through? Dude, check this out. The antihistamine they
gave me as an anti anxiety medicine, waiting trouble. It's

(21:44):
acting on both ways. Like it's an antihistamine and happens
to also be an anti anxiety. It's a bisexual pill.
It do just like me. Wow, it does it all. Wait,
so that's what's it called? Can I get that because
I'm trying to get off. I'm trying to get off. Okay,
it's a it's a prescription. I'm guessing. I'm kidding, Shah.

(22:12):
I don't want to get in trouble. No, whatever you're saying,
you're saying, it's a you were prescribed. But just try bene, drill,
see what happens. Yeah, I mean just trying to see
what I'm not saying that as a show to just
try to see right right, you know. But but like
you can't tell I'm winking, you know. But as you do,

(22:33):
but also police consult, police, consult your medical care practitioners
before experimenting with the fucking any drug buying from me. Yeah,
that's um. I didn't even realize, Like I had my
dog stepped on a dead bee and it stung his
paw and then his foot got all big yeah, and
I was like, oh ship, and we didn't know what
to do. And then the vet was like, oh, yeah,

(22:54):
you can just break him off like an eighth of
a ben and drill and just go that. And I
was like what And I was like hey, and his
little his little paw went down. You should have seen him.
He as all limp and because it dude, that little
sad face when he was like I don't know what
to do, because at first I didn't realize he just
like wins and then he just started like tap dancing,
you know, because like clearly that foot couldn't like I

(23:15):
was like dancing because it really was like I don't
know what he was and then got him. But we
had this we had this bee hive at the spot
we lived at where like because of it, you know,
like just the nature of like where it was, there
would be dead bees from time and time, like strewn
about the yard, so like we had to like sweep

(23:37):
a lot. So he's all right, you know, and us
bees got what they deserved to be removed humanely and
then put into a proper bee colony because we were done.
That is just like a lot of dead bees. Yeah,
it got a little morbid, you know what I mean
To see like a ton of dead bees, It's like
it kind of sucks your vibe up because then you're

(23:57):
like reminded of like hive collapse and thing we have
with these. On top of it, all of us were
stepping on loose dead bees because I don't like wearing
shoes and ships. So all that to say, it solved itself.
The bees are in a better place, um in a farm. Literally,
it's not like one of those lives when someone says
they they had to put the dog down. Um. Okay,

(24:21):
let's let's take a quick break and we'll be right
back and talk some news. And we're back, and I
would like to say the corporate prayer to mark the

(24:41):
corporate overlords to try and protect this weird republic, fucked
up democracy called America, because at the end of last
week we're talking about you know, there's only a couple
of CEOs that we're willing to speak out against the
Georgia voter suppression bill. It seems now like numbers are growing,
like there's now like many people who are higher up

(25:02):
the companies have said something to the fact of we
don't like it, which falls very short. But now you know,
there's a lot of other states too that are getting
in on it. Who didn't who saw what happened in
Georgia and for a red state being like, well, we
got to make sure that does not happen here, and
that is the lone star state of Texas. They've put
out their own bills that are going directly after people's

(25:25):
voting rights in Texas, which already has some of the
strictest voting laws in the United States, this proposed legislation
grants more power to partisan pole watchers and eliminates the
option to cast a ballot via drive through. If you remember,
drive through voting was huge and Harris County where Houston is,
and there were about half of the people that use

(25:46):
drive through voting that guess what they might look like,
Oh were they black and brown? Miles? Yeah, Asian, pretty
much non white residents were using what do you know?
And it also on top of that, if you want
to really think about again how what it means to
get medical care and how it's people are unable to

(26:08):
even get the basics. Like if you need to vote
by mail due to a disability, they also require a
doctor's note for that to happen. It's not merely sending
my doctor's note to just to the government. I don't understand.
On fire burning cross in front of the Capitol building,

(26:29):
it sounds about right, that's so dumb what this is
like when I learned that in other countries they just
send you a tax form already filled out, and they're like,
you could just sign this and send us whatever money
you owe and we'll just all be happy and the
thing will be paid and we're not gonna hut down
poor people. It is stupid. It is stupid for us

(26:51):
not to make voting easy for citizens. It is stupid
to believe in a proven lie that there are so
many citizens that are just doubling tripling their vote that
doesn't happen. And beyond that, like this, this it is
I watched so many civil rights movies as a child.
Then they were like, oh, thank god, we've overcome. Thank god,

(27:11):
this is all in our past. We've we've come so far.
For this kind of blatant bullshit to be happening to
like in my time as an adult is beyond me. Like,
I still I can't, I literally cannot process these things
happening right now. Yeah, that's the I think that's the
the daily fucking torment of living in this country in

(27:32):
any kind of marginalized group is like the transgressions are
done so out in the open without consequence that you
begin to like question what morality even means, or decency means,
because it happens at such a high level so frequently
that it's the norm, and you're like, damn, my go,
but I know people who aren't like that. What the
what the funk is this reflecting back to me? Yeah,

(27:54):
just the numbers. You know, Trump only one Texas by
six points, actually less than six points, which was the
o sis it's been since, which is another reason why
they're trying to slam the gates in people's faces to
keep them from voting. And you know, Republicans have ship
locked in Texas, you know, from every chamber up into
the governor's mansion. So this is getting a signature for sure.

(28:16):
On the other side of that, you have people like
Julian Castro and Betto Uroric a rumor to be hopping
in the governor's race. That's going to be happening. Um,
So that may add more fuel to the fire and
have some kind of a backlash. But we can't wait
for elections with fucked up laws to change the funked
up election laws. That's the thing here. If if we've

(28:36):
learned anything from the Civil Rights Act when it was pasted,
like waiting, it would be the stupidest thing we could do.
It would It would because you can't come back from
it like it it's so or you can, but that's decades,
which leads to generations of like work. It is imperative,
imperative that at a federal level we stopped these changes,

(29:00):
specifically the changes that make zero sense, Like it makes
no if you're in the car, I can easily hand
you my I D from a vehicle as I could
walking into a building. And the access that gives the disabled,
the access it gives people with children who cannot stand
in line for hours and just late, like there's so
much you can do from your vehicle, that you can't
do standing in Texas and like a hot line all day.

(29:22):
It is beyond me, Like there's no logic or reason
behind this. Like they're not even pretending to have good
reasoning anymore. It is just so blatant. That's yeah, they're
not even pretending. It just it feels like the Republicans
are the biggest cult in the United States. Yeah, it's
just three years. We were like, oh, they don't know
or they're my least favorite, Like he's all they're afraid

(29:46):
the feature is weird and unknown to them, like how
how cope with like black access. We have to slowly
ease them into these changes so that everybody is just
comfortable and complacent with what's happening. But it's like like, look,
your daughter is already doing a whip in Ana off
the TikTok video, so you know they're trying to look

(30:07):
your daughters trying to look black. Can you just please
get with the program here, like and you're so dog,
who will save us? Who will save us? The corporations?
I mean, look in Texas, a few CEOs are are
being like yo, this is sucked up, Like the head
of American Airlines that's based out there Dell Computers, which

(30:30):
is out there as well. I have expressed, you know,
their extreme displeasure and disappointment about how it's like it
takes years for people to get these rights. I think
it's the head of Dell who actually articulated that takes
years for the for people to gain these rights, and
to do this is an absolute affront to what this
country quote unquote stands for asterisk asterisk uh some some

(30:52):
terms and conditions. Um, so you know that's I think
the biggest thing is like even though they have a
lot of these eos have made a lot of words,
they're still falling short of like really raising the stakes,
like saying if you don't fucking reverse this ship, we
are out of here, or we will completely cut off

(31:13):
whatever the fuck revenue we give to this state because
we can't like what the funk or what else? What
are they what are the things can they do? I
mean they're not going because like I on the one hand,
I understand particularly in like when you look at like
a delta or something which is going to employ a
ton of people across different uh financial backgrounds, right, Like

(31:36):
I don't want those folks to lose their jobs. Because
their governor is making ft up decisions on their behalf,
like terrible, terrible decisions that will already impact them. And
at the same time, I understand that dollars speak louder
than anything, unfortunately, louder than any citizen. Um. I really

(31:57):
don't know what the solution is other than a federal
response to this, because operations to be like, hey, this
is dumb, and you we don't stand by this, but
I also do that you know, their employees need jobs,
especially now, like that was Stacy Abrams point, is saying,
don't boycott because that's going to actually affect people of

(32:18):
color more adversely in the state of Georgia, like so,
and she's saying, what really needs to do get the
Senate to pass the For the People Act. Maybe that's
the fucking option. Maybe that's how we counteract all of
this nonsense. But you got Joe and fuck Joe Manchin

(32:40):
and buying in. They don't want to get rid of
the filibuster because they remember, you know, they they can't
just put that old racist relic down. And that's really
the thing. That's why it's a doubly frustrated and know like, yo,
we're ready we're ready to go. But it's all about
just like, well, I don't know this. This old ghoulish
turtleman from Kentucky is going to he's making threats about

(33:02):
what he'll do if he gets power. Guess what if
you pass these laws, It's gonna be real fucking hard
for a Republican to do the same ship and get
voted in the same way they are. That's why they
are Democrats. Being afraid to overreach is the most exhausting thing.
I think. It's so exhausting. I do. I do think
that there is a lot of Democrats who are like, listen,

(33:25):
we're concerned about what precedent we set by over like that,
or at least that's the excuse they're often presenting, like
like by, yeah, this sounds like a precedent right now.
And I agree with you. I agree with you, but
I also under I understand where they're coming from. But
I also find it foolish not to respond right like,

(33:48):
I understand you'd be like because of who you're dealing
with him. And again, it's just boils down to the
fact that we have a two party system, which is
just makes for easy negligence across the board. Right, there's
the idea. They're like, oh, no, them, it's their fault
and we what can we do? These are the rules
and we have to follow them. But like this idea
that you can't. I played by the Republicans game at

(34:10):
this point, because otherwise we're just going to keep losing.
And it makes no sense for you not to use
your power, power that the people gave you with the
hopes that you would protect us from a whole tsunami
of bullshit like that. A few easy things. Get rid
of student loan debt and make sure voters have rights,
and we can leaven be gravy for at least the
next four years, and you might you might actually get reelected.

(34:34):
Not intervening with laws like this is just opening the
gates to more escalation. There's more escalation because then what
we're telling people is your voice doesn't matter. So then
what do we do to be heard? Turn the funk
up exactly, And I don't want to take to the

(34:55):
streets no more. I'm tired. That's what they're banking on, right,
is like all these methods of exhaustion m and then
to dust and you're like, well, fucket, the WiFi works
and there's a new Netflix show, so maybe it doesn't
matter if people that don't look like me in another
part of the state are being absolutely trounced in their rights,
are being disregarded in the game of destabilization. They are

(35:18):
banking on us getting so tired and then turning on
each other. And whoever is closest to us, who will hear,
who will listen? Who is around? Right? And did not
make any sense or does that just sound no? No,
because I want to kind of at the point of like,
I just would rather set it on fire than like
ask you for my rights. Like then, like I don't

(35:40):
want to hold the little signs anymore and try to
I'm tired of educating people. I'm I'm exhausted. I've I've
been doing this since I was eighteen, and you know
that's only so many years. Y'all need to know how
Oliday it's like. And I know, like I talking to
people who've been doing this, like watching Bernie's Kings, like litter,

(36:00):
like her dad died for this and she's still out
here fighting for essentially the same right because they dialed
the clock back into like what the fuck? So yeah,
that's why again I think it's also stupid for them
to think for Democrats who are afraid of whatever they
think is going to happen, because we saw, I don't

(36:21):
know if they were there the last four years, we
saw what the funk they're willing. They did it. They
did it, So now what are you scared of? Because
the bottom line is the way all Republican legislation works
is it only has to do with tax breaks and deregulation.
They're not interested in abortion. They do that to just

(36:42):
get get the supporters riled up. Because at the end
of the day, whenever they try and push through ship
like that or trying to funk up other really popular policies,
the poll numbers essentially keep them prevent them from acting
on it because it's like, oh, fuck it, yeah, this
is gonna be bad. Let's just do this ship we
can do through reconcil Asian that's only gonna take fifty votes.
Like different budget shit, budget cuts more money for these people,

(37:06):
less money for these people, And that's it. You know.
All the other stuff is just like they're just pump
fake And that's where I'm like, they're pump faking. Now
fucking swing on them, man, don't don't let them fucking
pull their fish back. You're meanwhile, you've got sixty goons
behind you, and they're fucking they're here for it, and
you don't like, oh please, so many bills that are

(37:29):
like majority citizen supported, right, get it, like our polls
coming bad, like support support, and they're like, but we
still have the support here, and it sound like, well,
screw the center, we gotta go pass those guys then like,
just sign it into law. Let's go. Their expression of
fear is not an expression of strategy. That's the other

(37:50):
thing that, Right, I'm here to say I'm scared, and
that's why I have people representing me in government to
take that and turn it into strategy, right Right, It's
like Superman being like, I don't want to funk with
doom Doomsday, I don't know if the Fox gonna happen.
Don't do don't you something know somebody else because I'm scared.

(38:13):
Well you gotta do. I'm sorry, that's your role, motherfucker.
If you gotta die, motherfucker, then you die. But that's
the role, homie. Do you guys think that Superman was
sometimes just like smoking kryptonite? Oh hell yeah, just to
get right, yeah, yeah, they called that crills back then. Yeah.

(38:36):
I mean, I don't know. I'm curious if what that
version is where like Clark Kent, you know, he was edgy.
He's like, yo, y'all don't fucking know, man. You know
what they call it today be a drill Superman wild
Bena drill problem. They're like, what are the effects? They're like,
he's just really disengaged from everything. I can't really tell

(38:57):
physically it's real drowsy ship if the sinuses are clear
and fantastic. Did you see we tried to shoot the
laser out of his his eye? The ship like just went
just fell short like after seen please Clark ship? All right, Um,
let's talk really quick about something else that's going to

(39:18):
be also frustrating, which is anti vaxtors. Oh my god,
whenever I hear the word vaccine, you know, my hair
stand up on my neck because I always braced myself
to hear some ridiculous pseudo scientific take. And at first,
you know, it was the whole thing was like, well,
they cause autism, And then you say, I don't are
you aware that the study that you all point to

(39:38):
was written by someone who was developing a vaccine that
was competing with the established ones, and that was meant
to do that, so he could be like, well, I
got this other one that doesn't and then the journal,
the medical journal that published it had to retract it
and almost set themselves the building on fire, like, yo,
we're fucked up published, We're so sorry, we should have
never done that. Ship. That ship is bullshit, so sorry,

(40:00):
is not real. Do not refer to this as any
something of any legitimate research. And then you know, pivoted
away from that. Now is where its like vaccine injury,
and you know, like a lot of the times, there's
a lot of anecdotal evidence like well we don't have
vaccines or I don't use science like medicine, and I'm fine,
I'm using this, that and the other thing, and I'm okay,
you know, without for a second questioning whether or not

(40:23):
they might just be genetically at an advantage rather than
them sort of being like, no, actually, I'm so galaxy
brained that I figured out how to side step accepted
science to be healthy. Can you know, even though it's
all ship that you cooked up on the internet. Okay, well,
now we have COVID vaccines and the grifters or believers.

(40:44):
I don't know. Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone's
making money off of anti vaction. I'm like, that's you're
just taking advantage of people who are very gullible and
with the CBC has exposed this one woman sharing Sherry Tenpenny,
not that they've exposed or she's a very out there
anti vax or UH and osteopath, but now has a
six week digital boot camp or it's called Mastering Vaccine

(41:08):
Info and UH for six hundred twenty three dollars. I
don't know where the funk. I don't know if that's
like some numerology ship six to I don't know. I
have no clue. You can basically learn with this money,
with this information, you will learn how to engage in
the fight to put immuno compromised communities at risk. Right,

(41:32):
So this is some of the things that they were saying,
like of like what the you know the vibe is
of this boot camp? She says, quote, you're in our choir. Uh.
It's those who are on the fence who need to
hear the message. My job is to teach the four
hundred of you in the class, so each of you
can go out and teach one thousand people, and I

(41:53):
want you to practice these these tactics in front of
a mirror. Uh. These are acting class and just adapted
for anti vaccent. Oh yeah. And then she all says,
my job and your job and everybody else who does this,
their job is to sow seeds. We're going to build
an entire army to stand up and say not only no,

(42:14):
but hell no. What is their obsession with the army?
Listen one, we don't need it. We do not need
neither a prayer army nor an anti vax or army
to come and tell us how to live our wives healthily.
That's why we have doctors and scientists. They're they're doing
all the work. I mean, she does believe though, that
COVID can be fought with vitamins and vibes. Goodbye. Yeah.

(42:39):
While her husband is also part of the boot camp,
he's basically on what they're talking about using straight up
pickup artist tactics of neural linguistic programming. So I guess
neg someone into being anti vax um. This is what
he says, quote understanding the subjective human experience and how
each individual stores their version of information. Is key to

(43:01):
unlocking their mind and building trust and successfully affecting change
with them. So then he goes off. He's like encouraging
the students to recognize what type of persuasion tactic is
going to be the most effective based on the person
they're talking to. Now, look, I've anyone who's done organizing.
You learned some level on how to create common ground
or at the very least, how to bridge gaps with Yeah,

(43:22):
you start by saying, I hear you, I rest you.
I don't have a plan though, Yeah, so no, So
in a way, I'm like, Okay, there's that level, but
not to this point. So he basically will slot the

(43:43):
people that they would be speaking to into four categories
and then present strategies for each, and like they have
a workbook where it's like the weirdest back and forth
skit where like a person is like, you're not really
telling me enough information. You're like, yeah, well what else
do you need to see? And it's like what went wrong? Here?
Were they using the wrong model? Is the cover of
the workbook of pyramid? Yeah? Actually why? Oh? I just

(44:06):
I was looking for books to color while somebody unlocked
my brain in a multi level way. Yeah, multi level,
multi tiered way, what's wild. I specifically wrote down that
I wanted to give them six dollars they knew now
all this is like, Look, I understand people being skeptical, um,

(44:29):
but white Americans that are anti vacs don't realize just
how bad their privilege has duped them into thinking they
don't need medicine. Like off the rip, White Americans enjoy
the benefits of medical and scientific advancements in a way
other demographics do not look at the life expectancy. It's

(44:50):
not because we're built different we die sooner. It's because
there's an utter lack of resources being put into those communities. Yes,
you can look at Tuskegee, but you can also look
at like just the like even beyond like financial or
or access to you have an entire community that has

(45:13):
been taught for years to disregard the actual pain of
some of their patients because of the color of their
skin like it is or or or because of what's
between their legs, like the way women's pain is just
brushed off as not being important or as them overreacting.
I read about a woman who died of endometriosis complaining

(45:34):
about pain for years years, and they were like, oh,
it's period pain. You just got to get through that,
that's all it is. It's a racist doctor nearly killed
my brother. Yeah, when my brother was fifteen, he had
pain in his hip. My mom's an X ray technician
and an ultrasound pornographer. She took him into the doctor
and he said, you know what I know your people.

(45:56):
You treat your sons like princess. He cries, he spoiled shit,
that's what he said. And my mom had to take
him to the e ER, the children's hospital e er
to get him the necessary tests. Everybody, including specialists said,
which they had to pay out a pocket for, said
he needs care immediately, and this doctor said, why did

(46:19):
you go over my head? And made my parents wait
outside in the parking lot with a security guard. MH,
I'm really sorry that happened to your family. That's extremely scary.
I went through a similar thing where it's nearly paralyzed
because I had her need to disk in my spine
and even after an m r I which showed the
her nation, they were like, oh, a cortisone shot. Luckily,

(46:41):
I had a nurse practitioner who came in asked me
a bunch of questions. She's like, I think you need
surgery now. She hadn't touched me, she just asked me
a couple of questions, like I think you could go
to surgery now, And they're like, oh yeah, if we
had given you the cortisone shot, you'd have been paralyzed.
If we had waited a day longer, you'd have been paralyzed.
It is absolutely insane trying to like get medical help
this stupid country. That's so frustrating. And for people to

(47:04):
then go and be like I'm just going to not
going to stop. That is often just required for you
to exist in society for very obvious reasons, like go
read about any of like polio the place, like just
how it inhabited. So actually for big pharma. Actually that's
the thing. You don't understand. Big pharma is so evil.

(47:25):
Therefore everything that happens in science is bad because big pharma,
that's what that's what you're gonna get hit with. And
and okay, and see you yourself even point yourself, even
pointed to examples of how the medical community was doing
experiments on your own people, you know what I mean.
So how could you trust like hold up, that's not
for you to tell me where how I want to

(47:46):
part through that. And I just want to say this, Okay,
Black Americans can point to a legacy of medical experimentation
and torture that would fuel hesitancy. I'm not saying it's justified,
but that is part of the history um in this country.
But even when white anti vactors or you know, high
income anti vactions, they they will point to communities of color,

(48:06):
be like they have low vaccination rates, but completely missed
the part where a lack of resources creates an information
desert that is only exacerbated by systemic oppression. It's not
because they're like, oh yeah, they get it, or like
you know, like what's going on over there? No, really
look at what the funk it looks like, because I
think a lot of high income or white anti vactors

(48:27):
they engage this is like a form of agency for
them without having the objectivity about what the entire situation
is within the medical industry, the country they reside in,
or even genetics and to even take a closer look
because I think the mass media also has a hand
in this, just because it's it's sort of turned this
into a us versus them, your anti VAXX or not,

(48:47):
and it completely there's zero nuance, especially as it pertains
to race. But anti vactors should also look, you know,
you look at these PBEs public belief exemptions where people
get together and they say, I have a PB, so
thats why they we are not vaccinated as a family.
There's a lot of studies that show they're like these
high concentrations of public belief exemptions. The racial homogeneity is

(49:10):
also just a huge part of it as well, And
so these are people are you know, obviously protecting themselves mentally,
visually or whatever to sort of keep from really thinking
more about it. But it's like at some point these
people have to come to the table and there has
to be there has to be a reckoning with this
kind of thinking. Because there was that documentary about flat

(49:33):
earthers and there was like this whole group of like astrophysicists,
astronomers and ship who are just like, what the funk
are we gonna do? And while there was a ton
of people who are like, how the fund could they
not believe us? Have they done this? Ship? I've been
fucking working out and blah blah blah. A lot of
people are like, you know, we have to figure out
a way to bridge this gap, because at the end
of the day, even though they are misguided, they are

(49:55):
interested in science and some level they are interested in
well being on someone interesting but there. But that has
to begin the thing, because it's like anything's like racist too,
and I don't know how much you get help save
a racist, but or any sort of ignorant, discriminatory person,
they start hearing things like oh so I'm bad. Immediately
they're gonna shut the shop up, good luck trying to

(50:16):
communicate um and with something like this that we're like,
we need you know, like more than anything. You could
be racist, stay in your fucking house and just don't
bother anyone. But if you're out here contributing to the
transmission of illnesses and things like that, that's a whole
other game. And you're more than likely as a like
a high income anti vactor, if you got sick, you

(50:37):
could go to a fucking doctor and most likely pull through.
But a person of color that you might unwittingly be
transmitting a disease to, they don't have the same option.
So I don't act like you're saving anybody anyway, so
pay your six twenty three some to them to be
able to say I have a choice to say no

(51:00):
to this. I wonder if this makes me curious about
the difference between agency and entitlement. Mhm. Sure, And I'm
sure those blinds right, because because in the United States individualism, right,
it starts to become propaganda. M hm. I don't know
that it's agency to say I don't want the vaccine.

(51:22):
I I feel like agency is the ability, Yeah, like,
because because real agency, and that kind of an instance
is to be able to rely on experts to inform
you appropriately with facts and figures that you can look
to and point to clearly and say yes, right, performed
decision based on what the information exactly. Because then otherwise

(51:44):
agency is us doing the like us farming, us going
out and doing the research us. You know, everything's but
that's what they're doing. They for whatever reason, they've ingrained
in themselves or had ingrained in them the idea that
the information you're being of it is incorrect, right, and
there's an entire conspiracy to keep the truth from you.

(52:07):
And so their their thoughts on on getting vaccinated or
not getting vaccinated is I've done the research this is
not only unnecessary, but potentially harmful to me or my
trldren And like, how do you? And I think that's
what's sort of horrifying, is like I don't know how
to bridge that gap. I don't know how to get
you to trust exactly true thing is believing that these

(52:31):
people are lying to you. I think at the end,
it boils down to a fear that I don't want
anything to go wrong with my child, fucking anything, so
if I can, if there's even a chance of that,
even though the medical science is saying that's a positive,
I saw two things. I said it couldn't be and
I don't want that at all to happen to my child.
It's like that, and then and then it morphs into

(52:53):
this whole other thing. Um, And this is where the
game among us, I feel is so important, de radicalization exactly.
Dollar Yellow looks sus as fuck right now. No, let's
take a quick break, let's take a breather, and we'll

(53:15):
be right back. And we're back. It's look, it's monday,
you know what. You know what that means. It's time
for some hip hop. From Andrew Yang running from Mayor

(53:36):
in a wide open New York race. You know, whether
it's like Bodega tours or subway rides, he is inextricably
linking himself to the New York visual aesthetic. And you know,
I get it, you're trying to win points with New Yorkers,
But until I see you twist up a blunt one
handed underneath a bubble jacket in the middle of winter
with Tim's on, I don't know if we can fully

(53:59):
give you that title. But he has enlisted the services
of one m c Gin to release a new rap song.
I just want to say before I play the song,
MC jim. I remember him. Some of you might remember
him too. He was on one or six in Park
in the early two thousand's when they had these freestyle
battles for a contract to sign with Rough Rough Riders.

(54:21):
M c gin is a Chinese American MC, and he
was fucking He just he blade waste to the entire field.
And it was like an easy decision. You're like, yo,
this dude is nice and he has bars well, and
he had a rough Rider chain. I was like, yeah,
go MC, look at um. And so I was like, okay,
that makes sense. I guess because maybe Andrew Yang is like,

(54:42):
here's another Asian American that will help me do some
rap stuff. I want to just play a little bit
of this track because it's it's something. Okay, starts off
with mc gin. It's like a POV thing where he's like, yo,
you like hip hop and he's like hawking his CD
type of thing, and then he right Yank for New York,

(55:04):
Yang for New York, represent the Gang, Gang for New York,
Gang for New York. Okay, come on, let's get to
the verse. Now we're gonna do right. Here's your hook. Okay, okay,
just ended dump down on the course one more time. Okay,
give him the hook one more time to do the
right day. Tell them of the campaigns that Yang Gang

(55:25):
has a arrived. When they see us, they'd be like, yeah,
that's aboube no, no, no, listen, why do we keep
trying this? This has been an aim of politicians since
like the eighties, of like I'm gonna speak to the
children in their language and we're gonna connect. We're gonna

(55:47):
get because I get the young people's music. You don't.
And it's okay, I'm a full thirty now and it's
past me. Okay, I can't. I can only say I
appreciate Beyonce and move forward with my life. All right,
it's weird. I think it's weird to try to wrap
and get with the kid. This is a terrible strategy,
and why do we keep doing it? Who when has
this worked ever? Campaign? Official campaign music isn't send me

(56:13):
one example of something that was made for the campaign
and you're like, Okay, you're right, that is a banger.
It doesn't happen. Okay, fine, I will throw my album
in the trash guy. I mean like, yeah, I don't know. Also,
like because like look, jin Is, he's a rapper, you know,

(56:35):
like he's fallen off, but he has the skills on Mike.
But it just sucks though, because like, how are you
gonna spit fever bars when you got a rhyme shoe
with universal Basic income? You're not talib quality. Maybe talib
could do that. I don't know about TMC. Jin just
I know you as more like a gutter New York rapper,

(56:56):
but I get it. I would say it should have
been why to the is a and to a gizzle?
That's the yanked them. Get your damn hands up there
you go, see they should have hired me. They yanked them,
said yeah, okay, you really yank them. I just like
the words better. I'm just saying it makes me laugh

(57:20):
if this other one doesn't, because it makes me cringe
because they're trying to be hard about a political candidate.
It was the same thing, remember when I forget who
they were doing, like the that like weird and like
they had those battle rappers take on the two sides
of like someone who's voting for Biden and then another
black man who was on the fence and maybe was
gonna vote for I'm glad I missed whatever. My god,

(57:45):
I know you think that it was just and it
was like early nineties. It was acapella with like actual
people who are like like battle rappers. Um, but it's
a check. It's a check, you know what I mean.
And I'm not gonna yeah, sure pay pay the battle
rappers because you know, actually have been few and fire

(58:06):
in between. Uh. But also maybe just to write a
good op ed or something. I was gonna say, hop
on the podcast, maybe have a strategy. It was nice, Yeah,
it was good. It hit, but it's just not a
good song in general. You know, you can't you can't wrap.

(58:26):
And there's nothing you could have done to make it
a good song. There's no amount of creativity that would
have had even like damn you all heard that Yang
track fire. Oh you mean the yank them international players
yank them? Okay that one? Oh that might that might
be interesting. Wow wow, No, no, no, it can't be. No,

(58:52):
don't don't. Don't make them disrespect themselves. So empowering, it's
to prevent Hey. Okay, that's all I've got. I've got
a beat, all right, man, alright, one one more story. Uh,

(59:14):
let's talk a little bit about Google Maps. Oh god,
they're they're adding like new well just they're adding new
features that truly they're acknowledging that we live in a
fucked up world because the pandemic has already changed so
many things, not like super fucked up, but you know
it in a way that it's tipping their hats, like
it's not all sunshine and rainbows all the time. Uh. Like,

(59:37):
first of all, because grocery shopping is so different, they're
adding new ways to do groceries or you know, they
can build into the app like how to efficiently pick
up your groceries and things like that. It said, you
can soon receive much more thorough and specific information including
delivery providers, pick up and delivery windows, order minimums, and fees,
all within the map. So if you're in Google Maps,

(59:59):
like funk, I need to get whatever where am I
at in my near something. Further, if you're like there
are a couple they're testing it with a couple of
Kroger if fred Meyer locations in Portland. They'll notify you
when it's time to leave for your pickup based on
traffic and give the signal to the store that you're
gonna be there shortly, so they can be like like
just with it on the double, Okay, fine, whatever, that's

(01:00:21):
a slight optimization. What about that other thing like climate
change and wildfires and air quality? So they're also gonna
pull data from the Weather Company if you like air
quality sort of databases to show your map. You can
add a layer to see like where how bad the
air quality is in your given area and you know
that way you can figure out maybe you want to

(01:00:42):
walk a different way, walk somewhere else, bike through a
different part of the town. You can do that. Oh
that's nice, because I don't want anything about my air
to change. I just want to know, do I need
to turn the corner because they can't breathe it. Oh
I don't want to breathe this one. Okay, okay um.
And then lastly, this is actually kind of interesting, is

(01:01:04):
trying to optimize driving roots based on carbon emissions. Which,
first of all, I get it's nice because I mean, like,
at the end of the day, it's on fucking corporations
to sort out the carbon emissions, not us to see
where I'm driving my moths to to get fucking blunts.
But I see what you're doing. But I think it's
nice because most people are becoming more considerate, not that
we entirely feel the responsibilities on us, but just in

(01:01:26):
general as considerate humans who are acknowledging the global community.
Were like, yeah, I don't. I want to be a
little bit more aware. So what they're trying to do
now is like it's with the Department of Energy National
Renewable Energy Lab. They're gonna see, like whatever your default
root is to somewhere, they're gonna make sure it's the
one with the smallest carbon footprint. Um, so like as

(01:01:48):
compared to like an E T A and everything. So
it'll take into account things like fuel consumption, road incline,
traffic congestion. Um. But if if you don't, if you're
on someone like Funk the earth Ship, you can just
opt out. I was gonna say that seems like a
little switch of a button thing, which almost everyone will,
at least in this city. It's gonna opt right out
of because as much as we claim to live the land,

(01:02:11):
I'm not doing an extra twenty minutes trying to get
to Hollywood. Uh. You guys remember back early pandemic when
no one drove for to like yeah, and then it
all reversed and dolphins were an Echo park. You remember
that that nature was healing itself again. The dolphins have
returned to Echo Park Lake weeks Yeah thereas heartpit. The

(01:02:37):
salmon have returned to MacArthur Park Lake. At the start
of the pandemic, I lived at a major intersection across
the street from a like a box store, And it
was really weird because you used to see like the
traffic would started at like seven thirty on the diet.
It's horns walking, It's just constant cars. It's the rumble

(01:02:57):
of engines. And I'm trying to get into McDonald's on
the exactly exactly, and then all of a sudden, it
was just quiet, like the birds came back chirpan is
if it was bizarre, And then of course, like two
weeks after that, it was just sirens. You know, you
guys want to hear something wild for my conspiracy friends.

(01:03:17):
Here we go, conspiracy time, Here we go. I mean,
my conspiracies are always like, so guess what those ted
talks might work? Okay, low stakes? I like it. I
like it was hit me with it, okay. Last year,
Google announced that they would not be opening up their

(01:03:39):
in person facilities until July of two thousand and that's
when everything's opening back up again. M hm, and they
have access to the world's largest database again. This is
going to be a really disappointing conspiracy because it's just
basic math. But I mean, for me, whenever folks are

(01:04:03):
like where's this going and what are we gonna do?
I just like look to see what Google's decided to implement,
because they just like quietly just like you know, yeah,
but you know, like what do we know? Last year?
This was last year when people were like, what do
you mean? Stuff won't open up till October? Come on,

(01:04:25):
that's ridiculous. Yeah, I don't know. We're just kind of
looking at all of the Earth's data. Oh yeah, we
just that was just something we do in Gmail. It's
it's nothing about we're predicting some kind of global conflict,
or are we? So if someone knows a significance of

(01:04:48):
six dollars, please let me know. I think it's times seven. Um.
But other than that, I don't have much else to
add to that. All right, Well, Zara, thank you so
much for joining us and sprinkling the little bit of
conspiracy upon our brains today. Um, oh my god, you're
so welcome. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well.
Wasn't aware, but so glad you're pulling through. Where can

(01:05:09):
people find you? Follow you? Send you blocks of cheese
or box wine? I don't know. Yes, Yo, go to
my website, get on my mailer. I've got a comedy
special coming soon. How soon? Oh man? In like a
matter of like months, like a couple of months. And
you taped it already? Yeah? Yeah, I taped so what
I yeah, I taped in twenty nineteen as my theatrical premiere.

(01:05:33):
And then I went, you know what, maybe I'm just
gonna edit this and put this out there. There you go,
because it's pretty great. And uh, I've also got a
report coming out as an Innovations Fellow with the Opportunity
Agenda on Artists Safety and Resilience Practices. Awesome. Um And
what was your website? Zara? Z A h R A

(01:05:57):
comedy C O M E D why dot com? There
we go? And what's a tweet that you're likeing? Zara? Okay,
this is a bit old because it's from like last week,
but the Brits just cracked me up. This one's from
socialist dog Mom on Twitter, who wrote, going down to

(01:06:19):
the chippy to get some gribbles and scrumps. England isn't
a real place? Was scrumps? The chibbles and scrumps? I'm
gonna guess stripping chips? All right, that's your bet. Let's
see chibbles and scrumps. Sounds like chips or poor grinds

(01:06:41):
to me. I don't know. I don't even know, man,
I can't even find what was it? Chibbles? Sisters? Was
chibbles for spring or salad onions? Look, you can't zey
gang or irish or wherever these words could come let
us know what the fuck is chibbles and scrumps? Is
it tasty vittles? I don't know who knows? Okay, Joel,

(01:07:03):
thank you so much man, just dragging me across the
finish line, being here entertaining my terrible jokes. When when
Marcella was just ripping my head off before we went
on there, it's like that shop funny Miles, Are you
sure you want to do this? Marcella is my queen,
I know, and I'm like, no, I'm good, No, No,
I work shopped it. I think we real curb. It's

(01:07:28):
great to be back. I love your fans. I love
this show. So it was an honor to sail line
from Daniel. Where can people find you? Follow you? Send
you Starbucks gift cards, send you triples and scrumps and
so long. Please send me a Starbucks gift card. You
can find me all over the internet. Actual, Monique, it's
j O E L L E M O n I

(01:07:50):
q u e uh. My tweet is it's a change
of tweets, but I have to explain it. We have
to go back and digest to get to the punch
line here. So lord more gain. On February twenty seven,
tweeted you just had to be there with a bunch
of pictures a paramore the iconic band mostly featuring Haley,
to which someone responded she was a paramore, they were

(01:08:12):
the Pips, and I was like, I love it, I
love it a vibe. So then someone else Galaxy Underscore
Barbie great name, not a great tweet and tweeted a
bunch of cooks getting bossed around by a tiny hot
topic bitch l m a O. They say they broke
up because she acted like a diva and it killed
her career. Patti LaBelle could do it because she was
Patti LaBelle. After three or four songs, we heard everything

(01:08:33):
h W could do. Fly Leaf was the real ship.
There's a lot to break down in there. We don't
have time for all of that. But Haley responded maybe
I should change my bio to tiny hot topic bitch.
To then Hot Topic released a t shirt that just
says tiny hot topic bitch with a giant picture of
Haley on the back. It crashed the site this morning.
I love a Twitter saga turns actual real life merch

(01:08:55):
is my favorite thing because only the thousand people that
were on Twitter at that moment are going to get it. Yeah,
it's brilliant and beautiful. It's a thing that when it
catches your eye in the real world, you're like, oh,
I was there, I saw it and it happened, and
I'm just I'm so excited that Hailey remains as prevalent
as ever. We got back to back Haley mentions and
we could get a third. Okay, hey, I used to

(01:09:21):
kill that ship on guitar hero loo key, I will
funk up the Paramore songs on guitar. I loved them anyway.
But that's enough about me. Let's see some tweets that
I like. Let's see the first one is from Alan
share stool at stud Studies and Crap tweets saw dude
arguing that Amtrak should not expand its service because it

(01:09:42):
quote loses money on many routes end quote, so please
remember that essential public infrastructure should not be run like
the Sunglass hut. Yes at afro slim underscore tweets. My
clubhouse app just be sitting there collecting dust. Yes, Yes,
I'm trying, I'm trying. I'm bored. I'm bored. These are

(01:10:05):
not properly curated conversations. As someone who frequently attends conventions,
get yourself a panel of no more than five. It's chaotic.
After that, please curate your questions and have the conversation
leads somewhere when you take Q and a's get strict
rules to your audience and limit their time. We have
to keep it moving. Y'all are just blabbering about nothing.
There's factually incorrecting. For me, it's a mess. It's a

(01:10:26):
hot mess, man. Every time, if I have to see
another notification that bomani X and Swizz Beats are about
to talk n f T S, no one deleting it,
but I do. That's why I just gotta be like
I think more than like a place is more like
a thing for you to use with friends than trying
to make it like I don't know. Look, I'm I'm old.
What then do I know? Prove me wrong, youth, Okay,

(01:10:47):
show me how I'm also be used because I don't
get it. I'm also I'm also gonna just take that
recommendation and rip it as my new ringtowne. Yeah, panel
is chaos, oh man, Trayvon at Trayvon, He's quote tweeting
someone at Alex said, is twitter down for y'all and
Trayvon Free uh quote treating and said, I've never really

(01:11:10):
asked it to do anything for me that would test
his loyalty, So I'm not entirely sure. It's not There's
not down for anybody. I'm so many, I'm sorry this,
this is what I gotta do at Richie Craven in
fairness to Jesus, because Easter just happened. Uh, in fairness

(01:11:31):
to Jesus, one of you will betray me is a
great dinner party conversation opener. And then Chris Chris Garcia
at Underscore Chris Garcia minis prank I've ever pulled. When
I lived in s F I called a fellow local
comedian at his work as Chevy's Restaurant, told him I

(01:11:51):
was an exact from Comedy Central and asked if he
wanted to fly down to Los Angeles and work at
the Chevy's there. Oh. You can find me on Twitter
