damn Dolly fans in the building. Yeah, Dolly's having a
moment right now. I mean she's she's having a long moment. Well,
she did that all of the music for Dumpling, that
movie on Netflix. Ya Oh, I didn't know you got
that Nascar. I was just talking about me and my
(03:13):
weird little podcast world. They just did Joe Lene on
punch Up the Jam, and you're gonna punch up Jolene
me first in the Gimme Gimmes have like a very
fun punk version of Jolene that's like it's an incredible cover. Yeah,
you can't beat Jolene. And they don't punch it up.
They don't. They don't. Like they basically talking about how
(03:35):
good it is the whole time, But it makes you
appreciate how good. The only way you could kind of
punch it up is if you do the half speed
version because that version speed, Oh, it's like a groover. Yeah,
I have to listen to it. She met a little
girl named Jolene and that's what inspired her to write that.
Isn't that weird? It's kind and you can tell that's
one thing that she was like, man steel year old.
(04:01):
Partially it was that there's a bank teller that her
husband always wanted to go to, and she was like,
I bet he wants to, you know, get with this girl.
And then Joelene, the name and all the physical descriptions
are about a five year old girl, which would be
weird if you think about it too much. But they
were talking about how the song is clearly like from
(04:22):
the point of view of someone who's kind of in
love with Joe Lenet like, yeah, at that Ivory stand
because it's just like, God, damn, you're beautiful. This is
like a smoke of blood person. I played this very
un early in the show. But Joline Joline jo alright,
(04:49):
so you know, if you're that just search Dolly Parton.
Jolyne at thirty three rpm is all right, Ellery, We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna take our listener through
a few of the things we're talking about today. The
Internet is piste off about Chernobyl selfies. We're gonna place
them in a grand tradition of just shitty selfies at
(05:11):
uh inappropriate locations. We're gonna talk about the President liking
the first tweet he's liked in years and it's a
Rehanna tweet. We're gonna talk about where the USA ranks
in terms of the list of most peaceful nations around
the world, most peaceful places to live. Not great poliosis, Miles,
(05:33):
is what you're calling this next segment, we're talking about
poles coming out. They're they're bad for President Trump. It
seems like, hey, this feels like all over again. I know,
like you're cooked, motherfucker. Yeah. But you know, but either way,
still based on what some people are saying, I definitely
(05:55):
wouldn't say it's a good sign, you know. And Edwick
has discovered a uh secret newly discovered reason not to
market to millennials, uh, namely that they're broke. They we
we we're broke. I'm I'm actually they define millennial is
eight one and I'm a oh really yeah, yeah, your
(06:17):
generation next. I'm just talking about with this article, I'm
generation account and I'm definitely broke. Radiohead doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
We're gonna talk about that. And finally, maybe the most
important story of Daily Zeitgeist, the smalas at Mountain Dew
(06:41):
have blessed us with a new flavor of do the
first new flavor in years. Don't even tell them, just
yeah they are stick around. Okay, it's exciting stuff. What
they're what they're matching it with. I'm acting like we're
breaking news. Don't run it for them? Yeah, what give
us a chance? Wait, yeah, let me describe, yes, please please.
(07:02):
Ellery First, we'd like to ask our guests, what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are.
I'm trying to buy a shirt that says vegetarian on it.
That would be funny. So I have vegetarian shirt men's,
vegetarian shirt women's, and then I searched vegetarian shirt kids
because I'm small. Oh and did you find store? No,
(07:22):
I'm gonna have to make one, I think, really yeah,
yeah that there's no vallion dollar idea on air pos.
I'm gonna do a cafe press if anybody wants to
put it in order. There you go, or should we
sho do it through public? What if you make that shirt?
But then it becomes like the next FBI Female Body inspector.
It's just like popular with like toxic because toxic dudes.
(07:44):
I don't eat pussy. Yeah, that's those dudes would not
be wearing a vegetarian shirt. There's like a subsect of
dudes who will eat pussy. Like it's a favor to
you to think that would be. I don't know if
you remember, like off the rip, I went like I
call my dick or nothing like I meet you out
and I'm aprecire you came. So that's what it was
(08:05):
cool that I called you a bitch in front of
everyone who you're scribing three of my ex boyfriends? Yeah?
Or me? What is something you think is underrated? Something
I think is underrated? Spoilers? Spoilers are underrated? Yeah, I
think it's like spoiler no, no, no. I enjoy spoilers
(08:26):
because sometimes watching movies makes me anxious, Like if I
don't know what's going to happen, I can't enjoy the ride.
So I like to google the end of the movie
before I go Wow. So you and Jack are very similar,
like that, you're the first person who I've heard say
that and one of the first people who I've ever
heard who doesn't think that that's a completely insane thing. Yeah,
people get on me about it a lot, but it
(08:48):
lets me like enjoy Yeah, you craft of the thing, right, Yeah,
you can appreciate it more. Yeah, I get to enjoy
the details right away, like that is going to happen?
Is yeah, distracting. It is distracting. And it's also like
an Yeah, I suffer from the movie based anxiety. That's
the sort of soft boy that I am. I don't
know if I told this story three times before, but
(09:08):
I saw the movie seven in the movie theater with
my dad and he screamed so loud. And I don't
know if you remember all the specific sins from that movie,
but there was Sloth, remember on the bed and he
was like basically decomposing. I thought he was on the
there's also the gluttony, right, that was the one who
had a bunch of force fed cancer. Uh. No, Sloth
(09:30):
was a dude on the bed and like there was
all those air fresheners hanging from the Yeah, and with
the part when he wakes up. My dad shrieked in
the theater, and it was like me and my friend
and we were like twelve at the time. We were
so embarrassed because he literally it's like full on half
the movie. Theater was like checking on him. And then
my dad away said, He's like, this is why I
(09:51):
don't like these movies, man, because like I have to
when I don't know, I'm in such a like elevated
state of anticipation anxiety for when those releases come. All
bets are off industry test whenever that came out. But
that contributes to an overall sense of dread, which is
the goal of that movie. So yeah, like I can't
watch that scene now and not have that reaction, Like
(10:14):
you definitely raise yourself. Yeah, I'm also like a little
bitter about having my emotions manipulated, which I understand is
like the point, which is the whole point. But I'm
always like, you're not gonna get me, Like wow, wow
for you, that's your resting control. Yeah, you're taking it back.
You're saying, well, hold on, I know what happens, so
(10:34):
I'll decide I'm not going to be on this. Yeah,
you can't get me Okay, what's your favorite movie? What's
my favorite movie? Probably Sunshine Cleaning or a Little Sunshine
anything Anything. One is like the movie Sunshine Emily Blunt
movie where there they are crime scene clean up people
(10:55):
who are also sisters. It's a great is there is
there a mystery film a film that had a twist
ending it you liked? Ever, I don't think. I'm not
a big movie person, right, Yeah, there you go. Do
so do you look up spoilers to like regular TV? No,
I'm less likely to do it for TV because I
think maybe I care more about to be Also, I
(11:15):
have more invested in sort of character development TV, whereas
with movies, like because it's so much shorter, you're like
on an expedited, accelerated track. Yeah, for sure. What is
something you think is overrated? Christmas? I think Christmas is
extremely overrated? Wow? Yeah, you and I are not like that?
(11:35):
Oh my god? Is that against Um? It's against Christ? Yes?
Christ Mass? Christmas? Um? What is it about it? Like?
You just don't like the think it's a lot of
I think the whole season right, because it goes from
like November one until like just the whole season is
so wrapped up in expectation and also like capitalism andsm
(12:00):
and it's it's horrible, and it makes you feel like, uh,
if you don't have family, if you don't have a
place to go during those months, right, it makes you
feel like you're not included in the sort of sentiment
of the season. Right. And it's really just about like
performatively showing your family how much you love them, even
(12:20):
if you can't actually stand them, you know. And it
requires like a lot of travel that I personally find
pretty stressful. I'm definitely too selfish to take those expectations
on because when it's Christias and I'm like, this is
my excuse to dress like fuck like sweatpants all day
and watch a bunch of dumb fucking You're like reclaiming
(12:40):
it for self care. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas I have like
family all over the place, I'm like running around to
make everybody happy and like show up to everybody's Christmas, right,
And that's you know, I think that's my privilege, with
my dad's side of the family being pretty centrally in
Los Angeles and then my mom everyone on that side
lives in Japan. Yeah, and they don't look with Christmas,
so It's not like they're like, you're not coming for Christmas,
(13:02):
but the New Years are like, wait, you do go
over to Japan because because New Year's is a big
holiday and I like to see everybody and you know,
checking on my my aunts and stuff. Yeah. I do
think that probably not having anywhere to travel besides the
coolest place to travel to probably helps with your Christmas.
(13:23):
You don't just think of Santa Claus because he needs
some milk, but drop that's what I want to go
with those cookies. Yeah, you know he needs some milk.
I'm sorry, I'm abusing the soundboard right Nowlarry, is there
a holiday you really like? No? I have a similar
feelings around the years, right. I like Halloween a lot.
(13:45):
I feel like I can funk with Halloween movies. There's
like a lot of camp involved. Yeah yeah, what about No?
The other ones are just drinking holidays. Yeah, I'm not
also like not a big drinker. I'm just I'm not
really a holiday of person, do you uh? And you
have to travel back to is your family still in Albany?
So this is really about Albany and sort of sort
(14:07):
of my mom moved to old small town in South
Carolina and my sister lives with her husband in like
rural New Hampshire. Yes, so it's I'm traveling to a
lot of red on the highlights. It's a lot of
And it's just I have a very complicated relationship with
it because it's I come from like a fairly conservative family,
and so in l A, I get to mouth off
like all day long about things that I believe, and
(14:29):
then I go home and I have to like button
up a little bit through your tongue exactly you're coming
out of your mouth. Yeah, I'm bleeding from the mouth. Really,
I'm sorry about the feudal immigration crisis. Yeah, absolutely. Uh.
And finally, what's a myth? What's something people think is
true you know, to be false or vice versa. Um.
(14:51):
I think the myth that like, with enough hard work,
anything is possible is like sort of a toxic one, right,
because it's just it's a ratio of privilege and a
it's also specifically like in entertainment, it's a rature of
how often, uh, just like being in the right place
at the right time comes into it. And it's also
it's sort of like undermines actual hard work because you
(15:13):
can get into a cycle where you think that you're
not doing enough. So I think that's one and all. Yeah, No,
I think that is one of the biggest and most
pervasive and toxic myths in the United States. Yeah. Yeah,
it's also it's a crazy pervasive idea that I think,
can you can internalize and then uh like weaponize against
(15:37):
yourself and some pretty harmful ways. Yeah. And then you know,
people like Steve Jobs as biographers and like all all
the people who write this who tell the story of
like huge accomplishments in American history just right, the people
who helped them and all the all the privilege and
head starts that they had, they just write those things out. Absolutely,
(15:59):
people get screwed over, and it ends up giving us
this ideology of like like where where I don't know,
like the way I was raised, Like culturally, I feel
like like collectivism is like so foreign to my mindset,
and that's I think that's a bad thing. Yeah, I
think absolutely. I think specifically Americans maybe have a hard
(16:23):
time with um like collaboration the goal in and of itself,
And that's something I had to learn in working with TV.
It's like your ideas are not paramount and nor will
they ever be. The paramount is the collective, right, It's
about like what we can all do to mold and
to punch up this one thing that we're working on together.
And that's sort of like a that's sort of like
a separate topic from like you on your personal endeavors,
(16:47):
thinking that if you work as hard as you can
and like burn the candle at both ends, you'll eventually
get what you want, which is sort of like setting
yourself up for disappointment and not taking into consideration the
fact that people are starting at different points. Yeah. Yeah, uh,
my bootstraps broke off too hard. Yeah, luckily someone just
(17:08):
discovering me on the street. Yeah, I mean, give me
this podcast. The idea of pulling yourself up by your
bootstraps is physical. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but I
think the original idea of like, well, yeah, just pull
yourself up by your bootstraps, it was that that's impossible,
that you need people to help you, and it's an
idiom we all got wrong, right, Yeah, Yeah, there's tons
(17:28):
of those two. Yeah, I don't I love thinking about
that that somebody was saying it's sarcastic. Ye, think about that.
How are you going to pull yourself up by your bootstrap.
That's my impression with somebody pulling themselves up by their bootstraps,
I think it's said. Well, they're like, I mean, people
clearly research this a lot because they're like, what is
(17:49):
the origin of it? Because it refers, of course to
boots and the straps that some boots have attached to
help the wear pull them on, and to the imagined
feet of lifting oneself off the ground. Is not good
at finding origins of venue. Yeah, they just have so
many false leads. It's just like, I'm trying to think
of what you could say now that is just as
like completely devoid of any kind of like logic or
(18:12):
science behind it of lift physically pulling yourself anyway, it's
sort of like the ultimate platitude, right yeah, right, It's
enough to get you thinking and then the second but wait,
that doesn't track my bootstraps, like saying time takes time. Yeah,
just like no ship. But don't done that. Uh, let's
(18:36):
talk about Chernobyl selfies, guys, did what does that mean? Chernobyl?
People are going to Chernobyl following you know, people like
to go to real life locations from their favorite TV
shows and takes selfies like the Signfeld coffee Shop, the
Tanner House in San Francisco, Chernobyl because there was that
(18:57):
HBO series that we're still discussing in detail. Because I'm
waiting for Miles to watch, I will watch it this
weekend over I have I have time stocked away to
go into a very dark place. Yes, but the real
life Chernobyl, the Exclusion Zone has seen a spike in
tour bookings thirty percent more than usual in May and
(19:19):
fort during the rest of the summer months. And that's
off the strength of the show. People are assuming that
it must be unless there's some other reason. Chernobyl is
really in right now, really hot right now. Um yeah,
and people are taking smiling selfies all over the place there.
The show runner had to come out and say, if
you visit, please remember that a terrible tragedy occurred there.
(19:42):
Comport yourself with respect for all who suffered and sacrificed. Um.
Is there like a specific spot they keep going to, Like,
is there like a memorial thing or they're just sort
of like pointing to, like, oh, signing it's probably like
right yeah, like this dude skin melted off here, ha
ha lo lo lo please like hashtag melted skin, hashtag turnobyl,
hashtag HBO hashtag Yeah, so you were telling me about
(20:05):
a habit that you have a semi annual habit. I'm look,
I studied history in college, and I think history is
very important. I respect history. Um, and this is a
thing of people taking inappropriate Instagram photos at every at
every imaginable kind of place, especially ones were like awful
shit happen? Like where the where the World Trade Center? Oh?
(20:27):
Jack Gregs with the Tale of the Bachelor Party. The
nine eleven Memorial, despite being a place specifically for quiet
reflection on the whole design is made for a quiet reflection,
uh is often filled with tourists granting for selfies, and
in two thousand sixteen, a bachelor party took selfies with
a blow up dollard. Yeah, of course, because who where
(20:50):
else would you have your bachelor party? Then I don't
love it, dude. Can you imagine what kind of witty
caption they're like, Dude, this is ground zero for the
end of Brett's fucking life. Inside blow job. Yeah, inside job, damn,
that's why she's writing fatigued let him know. Um. No,
So another thing you know. I remember a few years
(21:10):
ago when the Holocaust memorial went up in Berlin. There
were a lot of people being like, please stop planking
on it, stopped doing yoga poses on it. So every
now and then I check in on it, and Jack
thought I was joking. I have screen grabs from January
when I was looking at it last with some of
the more fucking weird like just inappropriate. Ship Again, this
is a memorial to the Jews that were killed in
(21:33):
the Holocaust. It seems so obvious. It's when I went
to Emerson College in Boston. There's like a famous museum there,
and two kids were kind having sex inside. No, yea
in the fucking museum. Yeah. Well it's it's like it's
it's it's like an outdoor it's not a museum. It's
like a yeah, but it's it's like it's yeah, there's more.
(21:56):
It's like a memorial site. It's outside, it's sort of
like a little parky but not and you have two kids.
Two kids are having sex there, and it's just like
so interesting to me, the things that seem obvious that
are not right, like how tone deaf people can be. Well,
I think this is why. So for example, this is one.
Um again, this woman looks really cute. There she has
(22:16):
the location tagged ellery. Can you please read the caption
of that photo. So this is a woman looking cute
at the Holocaust memorial in Germany. It says, what a
time to be alive? Fash drake put a motherfucking drake. Quote.
Memorial to the murder Juice is tagged. You tagged that
photo there, and your caption is what a time to
be alive? Drake? What a time to be alive? Also,
(22:40):
this is another one. This is another dude. Dude is
just showing off his bicet. He's flexing in the thing.
Read this caption respect to all the lost souls. Hashtag
peg Berlin two thousands, Aura two thousand eighteen, hashtag pen
Germany two thousand eighteen. This guy again. And then just
(23:01):
one last one, Um, this is another one. Just a
woman flexing in her like burbery outfit, looking really cute.
And then this hashtag just says hashtag memorial to the
murder juice. But what she looks like she's doing like
a fashion like outfit of the day type anyway, Yeah,
no exactly, And I think that's where you get you
(23:23):
go to these places which are meant to sort of
inspire reflection or be like, wow, this is a significant thing.
But we live in an age now we're like I
can get some likes with this, Like, let me just
turn my hip out in front of the hashtag memorial
for the murder Juice of your Quiet Reflection falls in
the woods, you know what I mean, and we'll look
at like, yeah, Auschwitz in particular has had to ask
(23:46):
people to stop balancing themselves. I think this means like
planking on the infamous railway tracks. That's what you should be,
honestly like. But so this this makes me like, this
makes me despair for you guys, this generation over but yourself.
(24:12):
Z Okay, oh yeah, you probably are. You know, I'm not.
I'm the last year three generations. But this is actually
something like our writer jam McNabb was pointing out that
there's like souvenir stands all over Chernobyl, like fridge magnets,
radioactive ice cream, canned air. There's a canned air. Yeah,
(24:36):
there's a tea shirt radioactive Wolf Chernobyl. Uh. And then
the world's most depressing snow globe. It's a snow globe
of the factory, but then the snow is black, so yeah,
it looks like yeah, fun, fun gift, fun Christmas gift. Yeah. Yeah,
(24:58):
so we've been We've been terrible since the beginning, I think. Yeah. Well,
also the invention of the nine eleven souvenirs, and in
every place that deals with money, any capitalist place is
going to monetize anything as we monetize. If we think
about like the onslaught of true crime documentaries and pedophiliate
(25:18):
doccumentaries like we are we are not, we are almost
constantly trafficking in tragedy. So it's not this is like
two steps away from that, you know. Yeah, I feel
like some true crime at least you can tell yourself
you're trying to create meaning from like the truth of
the situation, whereas snow globe doesn't create as much meaning.
(25:40):
But maybe it does to some people. I don't know.
I mean, I think at the end of the day,
like you're using this awful ship and the trauma of
other people to be like you won't see some It's
basically you won't see a dead body. And imagine if
that dead body was your mother, you'd before you would
be fighting people. I put the funk out of here.
(26:00):
But again, you know, please have respect at the very
least at memorials. If you want to do some wild
at the Statue of Liberty, fine, yeah, you know, but when.
But at the end of the day, I gotta do
it for the likes. That's the culture for the Graham.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and real quick. Donald Trump
(26:31):
has liked his first tweet in years. Uh. He's very
active on Twitter, but he doesn't like things because he's
I guess dead and empty on the inside. But uh,
the so he liked a tweet and I'm just gonna
read it to you guys. Uh. It is a tweet
that says, every new Rihanna interview makes me grow stronger.
We stand a work life balance, queen. And then it's
(26:53):
a screen cap of a quote from Rihanna that includes
the phrase, just like I nurtured my business, and you
didn't nurture personal time as well. Rihanna told Paulson, I'll
shut things down for two days, three days at a time.
On my calendar. We now have the infamous P which
means personal days. This is a new thing, so it's
(27:14):
presidential time. The p for him is presidential time. Yeah. Yeah,
when was the last what was the last tweet he
liked before this? I don't know. It's been years, like
literally years and years. It's been. Oh, that's see, he's
going he's going through it. He's going through it. He's
even interacted like time for yourself, Queen. Yeah, exactly. He
(27:37):
has eight likes total before that September one, seventeen. It
says please after several typos, he's just not presidential material.
It's like in response to something I think George Popa
was no. Trump tweeted he liked dude his tweet. He
likes his own twenty cents Donald Trump. Before that, Donald
(27:58):
Trump issues statement on Ted Cruise birth certificate, and it's
like a photo of him saying Nixon was a quitter.
I've done twice the bad stuff he did, but you
won't see me resigning. Cool. Okay, Yeah, so maybe not
the best way to gauge in his inner life, but yeah,
it's just it's just good good to know. And also
(28:20):
I do stand a work life balance, queen, Yeah, you
have to. It is a good it is. I wondered
if he went to other people's like you see a
bit of Rihanna can do it. I get in trouble,
but Rihanna gets away with it. M yeah, I get
a new song coming out called turd Boy. He's definitely aging,
(28:41):
the least of any president in the history of the president,
of course, because he's making it work for him at
the detriment of the rest of the country. The humans
so incredibly aged, so it's hard to heighten that he
does have all sorts of smoking mirrors worked out. Oh man,
I just want to take a makeup wipe to his face.
I know, well, I just want to fill in around
(29:02):
Like whoever his makeup artist is is absolutely dogging him.
He must because there are some like serious oversights, especially
around his eyes. He does not learn. Hello, beauty blender,
Can you send him a beauty blender sponsor him? But
I can't imagine that he would. I feel like he
would not do his own makeup. Maybe he likes fenty Gal,
(29:23):
he likes orange. Yeah, not for or he was trying it.
He's like, and I really think you should consider expanding
the palette of colors you ever, it was a big
fair um guys at the moment we've all been waiting
for the thirteenth Annual Global Peacefulness Survey, And what is it?
(29:45):
They rank countries around the world by how peaceful they
are based on like militarism, uh, internal like confidence in leadership,
internal confidence in institutions. Uh yeah, it's not our strongest
event as a country. The US is ranked on the list.
(30:08):
What's the bottom? So the bottom is Afghanistan just replaced Syria.
Um yeah, so, and we might as well just add
that to our attack, that onto our score because that
so really I think we're number one. So other Western
countries Australia's thirteen, Canada, I think it's fourth, Germany, Britain
(30:30):
and France sixt Who's number one? Number one is Iceland.
Damn good for them because they're fucking tap waters like we.
We would pay seven bucks a bottle for oh lets.
Some of the factors they take into a counter death
from conflict, perceptions of global leadership, and that's that last
one is the one where the US they have a
(30:51):
line graph of that and everybody else is just kind
of going along at the same pace. And right in
two thousand and sixteen, the US it just falls off
a cliff really d more pronounced yeah, interesting, boy, well,
you know, yeah, let's see what happens next year. Can
(31:15):
you imagine? Do you think we can go lower? You think, well,
I guess I think the show is still be around
if the earth is still around? Uh, will we go
up or down? Injections? Uh? What can we climb up
the charts? Do you think we can get Yeah? Yeah,
if we don't elect Donald Trump, well by this point,
I figure it'll come out around this time next year,
so we'll still be in office. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
(31:40):
think a lot because I think I don't think we've
even seen the beginning of the fun he can do. Yeah,
is going to be a nightmare already, it's already a nightmare.
But if he loses, I don't think he's going to
leave peacefully. And I don't know. This is something that
you can like just kind of generally feeling the ether
of like day to day life that you're like if
(32:03):
you travel abroad and like there's just a sense of
peacefulness or like you're not physically threatened or that's like
you don't have to assume one in every twenty people
you've passed is armed. Like there you can like feel
that and oh yeah, just like your day to day life.
It's wild when you go to countries like that and
(32:23):
you're like, damn, there's no like collective tension, Like you
just step off and you're like, there's a tangible dread American. Anyways,
let's talk poliosis. Yeah, uh, let's that's a new segment
we're gonna do talking about the pulse um and and
also scoliosis awareness. But yeah, so politically, just did a
(32:46):
new poll testing people on these hypothetical head to head
matchups just to see kind of okay, like if it
was today, who's gonna win? Oh man and not good
for Trump. But again, we don't know what this really
means because it's still what fucking eighteen months away, Yeah,
our thirteen months whatever it is. So head to head
(33:07):
Biden and Trump percent said they would choose a former
vice president said they'd vote for Trump, Um said undecided
against Sanders forty two percent against Trump who had UM
and then against Elizabeth the warrant against Elizabeth Warren statistical tie.
Then even when you go down to some of the
(33:29):
other candidates like Kamala Harris and Corey Booker better or
work Um, they're like just small leads, nothing significant. And
you know this uh. They also note that in any
and all of these matchups, Trump never got over thirty
three percent, even though some of these Democrats Democratic candidates
were getting into the forties. And you know, there's a
(33:50):
couple of things to keep in mind. Biden is not
going to keep this momentum of the whole time as
people put him up next to other people, and they're
gonna be like, say words about your beliefs this time,
being like landy presidential in people's memories is not something
that's going to hold up well when I'm not sure
who the funk thinks he's he's going to bring revived
(34:10):
bipartisanship to d C. Like what again, Like all the
people he's pointed to is like I worked with so
and so. I'm like, you're talking about thirty years ago, right,
this is a new game, baby, they don't play it
just age based people who most of their life was
before it went terrible. And also the other thing you
know to keep in mind is that people are about
seventy satisfied happy about where the economy is right now.
(34:36):
Tie the economy to the presidency in a way that
just is not actually true or reliable, right, Like they
associate the two things, even though they almost never sink
up and have not so much to do with one.
An it's weird they'll connect it when it doesn't need
to be and then not make the connection when it's
absolutely imperative that you understand that there's no connection there.
(34:56):
Like I remember, like you know, Obama came in there like, well,
well look what he did the economy, but he just
start like, that's not how the economy works. Shift just
started and he came in with a mop and was
like what the funk happened in here? Very similarly when
Trump got an office and people like, oh, the economy
is turning around, but that's because of Obama's policy, Like
if we wait a few more months and see what
happens with the tariffs, it's going to go down, right.
(35:17):
And now you have Trump being like, okay, we'll look
at the economy. Now. Now he's really trying to make
that connection. I mean, so we'll see what like if
I mean, I doubt he's going to actually kind of
have any kind of coherent messaging around like how good
he is. Yeah, I'm actually very interested to see like
what his campaign because it looks like at this point
there's no other Republican nominee. But like, I'm very interested
to see what the Trump campaign looks like going forward,
(35:37):
specifically because right now, pretty much any of the Democratic
candidates could run against him, and we could have an
election and it would be competitive, which is saying a lot,
because they're like people running. Yeah, so many. Well that's
why the you know, we'll see those two debates. It
will be two days of debates just to fit in
like those twenty people that actually get in. The Other
thing though, too, looking at a lot of the stories
(35:59):
around this polling is that, you know, this isn't good news.
Especially on top of that, there's even more polling that
was showing that he's losing his grip on some of
those swing states that delivered him those electoral votes. Um.
And this is from the New York Times said quote.
After being briefed on a devastating seventeen state poll conducted
by his campaign poster Tony Fabrizio, Mr Trump told aids
(36:20):
to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Mr
Biden in many of the states he needs to win,
even though he is also trailing in public polls from
key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania UM. And when
the top line details of the polling leaked, including numbers
showing the president lagging in a cluster of critical restbelt states,
Mr Trump instructed AIDS to say publicly that other data
(36:40):
showed him doing well. Also, Democrats have about a six
point lead on a generic congressional ballot, So yeah, I mean,
oh boy, this is what I'm saying, Like, there's a
lot of ship going against him. At the same time,
the only incumbent to lose an election was George H. W. Bush,
and that was when the economy went to ship um.
(37:03):
At the on the other hand, at this point during
his presidency, George H. W. Bush's approval was plus fifty six.
Trump's is minus eleven right now. So hey, man, you
know chin up? Chin's up? My man, I don't I
stopped tweet I used to just ask him if he
(37:24):
eats pieces of ship for breakfast every time he tweeted.
But it was too much not didn't it old I'm
very juvenile and I'll die doing a terrible bit. Uh Yeah,
I just didn't have the energy to keep up with
all the ship that it was being tweeted. But yeah,
I think Again, that also points to when you look
at this, right, he's losing those pieces of the puzzle
(37:44):
that helped to keep him in office, which keeps the
threat of all his legal troubles you know at bay um.
And that's why I'm curious, like as because clearly, like
when you read things like this, he's now in that
part where he's slowly entering the denial phase of being like,
m like, don't tell me that, I don't want to know.
But and then that's what I'm curious to see. As
(38:05):
things become more desperate, how even more desperate, that kind
of should he'll do to distract and try and keep
some kind of hold. And again, as he said before,
he's always talked about, he's teased going to war as
a way to stay in office. And that is frightening thought. Yeah,
I mean that is why bush One's approval was so
(38:25):
high at that time. It's because he just started a
war because the media at the time was calling him
a whimp literally, right, and go to him into it
and show you whim. I'll show you whimp to some
war crimes. Let's talk about at week, guys, we we
look to them for any you know, reporting about millennials
and young people in general. At Week generally has their
(38:47):
finger on the pulse. Yeah. Uh, so they published an article.
I'm just gonna read the headline and subhead too. It's
so aggravated this whole that this is even an article
on ad Week. Yes, why targeting millennial consumers might not
be such a hot idea after all. And then subhead,
(39:10):
a growing body of evidence shows why gen y consumers
aren't ideal because many of them are broke, that's the subhead. So, uh,
they're ruining We're ruining everything because we're broke and can't
buy anything. But then I like even how ad week
is like, here's the deal. They're the problem because they're broke.
(39:30):
Otherwise the consumer machine could run fine if they weren't. Yeah,
it's really interesting to read all these things that we've
known are true and have talked about for the past
two years, but written from the perspective of like a consumerist,
like advocate earlier. You know. So they're they're talking about
(39:51):
how this new survey of four thousand American consumers determined that,
you know, millennials are just not spending as much money
on random ship basically, And then they said the problem
is not their size, as millennials represent a larger consumer
group than the baby boomers, and it's not the block
of money they control. Millennials spend about six billion dollars
(40:14):
a year. Uh. The problem rather is that millennials are
saddled with very larger and unavoidable expenses that reduce their
spending power when it comes to discretionary purchasing that gets
marketers so excited, expenses like what they write. Data from
Deloitte and other sources point to at least two major
factors that are impeding millennial spending power right now, housing
(40:36):
in student debt. What I there more obvious? It's so
weird to hear like a capitalist assessment of the fucking
the machinations of the the terrible ship that happens in
this stage of capitalism, Like they're the people who sell
the ship. And then they're like, huh, we're it's interesting,
we're noticing that this system that we're perpetuating has led
(40:59):
to this consumer group not having enough money, and now
we're kind of rubbing our chins about it, like right,
But to have any other take would require self awareness
about their their position in capitalism. Exactly exactly what it
means to be foisting expectations of expenditure onto your consumers
when your consumers are literally under the thumb of systemic debt, right,
And it's like if you're trying to eat and survive.
(41:21):
It's it's like all of those articles about how millennials
are killing certain industries when in fact those industries don't
exist to serve them and they should be changing their models. Yeah,
if you didn't need a sandwich all the time, you'd
have enough money for a house. Yeah, that is that
is like an art that really yeah. Yeah, and it
also that's an argument that really like boils my blood
(41:42):
because it's like life is so difficult if you need
to have a sandwich out do it? Like your nine
dollar sandwich is not going to even the playing field
as far as generational wealth goes, do you know what
I mean? Like the people who can buy houses in
Los Angeles are from intergenerational wealth that like, honestly they
should be redistributing into the community and instead are investing
(42:02):
in like assets, which is neither here nor there. But
it's just like, yeah, it'sh god, and that none of
them ever take the time to say, well, why is
why is someone even forced to decide between a sandwich
and healthcare. I want to use zoom out a little
bit like the context of the Yeah, it's it's like
an examination of the symptoms that has no lens on
(42:24):
the causey right, It's it's a really important point that
you don't see covered a lot in the media, is
that millennials have, like they spend a lot of money.
It's just they're spending it on things that cost more
to their generation, housing and student debt, Like student debt
(42:45):
has gone like the cost of college has gone way
up compared to previous generations, and so is housing just
erased that all that fucking debt Now, Yeah, I think
like what is actually like necessary as an examination of
like why college costs of risin so exterminately, Like what
point does it become almost predatory lending, right, like giving
(43:05):
student loans out to eighteen year olds who may be
like do or do not have a co signer, don't
really know what's going on, making sure that they're like
knowing the difference between federal and private loans. So it's like,
at what point is that sort of like a predatory
housing loan? Yeah, Well, and I think that's also just
I think fundamentally we just also don't. When I think
about the presidential race, I'm like, I'm more interested in
(43:26):
candidates who question why things like health and education are
profitable revenue streams for companies rather than like, these are not.
These aren't things that need to generate revenue exactly. But
I would argue that under capitalism, there's sort of the
idea that anything and everything is available for purchase and
available to monetize, and if that incentive exists, there's always
(43:46):
going to be corporations and people who wanted to exist.
Like if we think about the pharmaceutical industry specifically in America, Uh,
we experience drug prices that in other country does because
of things like you know, patent and there's just like
no incentive to stop doing it because there's so much
money inside of it. Yeah. Well, I think that's why
we're having this these like moments where we're having to
(44:07):
really examine like the sort of systems we're living under them,
Like how long can this go before completely flame? Yeah? Absolutely,
and before it cannibalizes it? Yeah, Because I mean that's
what's happening now with all this kind of private privatization
of public works and things like that. So yeah, that
drives me nuts, especially like stories about like kids who
will fill in potholes for free in the city will
just like send them a check and it's just like
(44:28):
that is a broken state, right, Or there's like another
one of like kid uses his like uh fucking chore
money to pay unch. Did you I read one of
those stories and the lunch that was like seventy four
dollars and it's like your local government, I'll send seventy
four dollars, Like your local government can't cover that, like
what is right? But instead, the way that that gets
(44:52):
turned into a news story is if a private individual
has to cover it for the people, like that's yeah,
but we all to lift those stories up and celebrate
them in a way that becomes like toxic, like we're like, oh,
that's so sweet, instead of being like that's actually super
fucked up that they had to do that, Like where
where are any of the governmental support system? Yes, I
(45:13):
don't blame us though, I think that I think like
we're going to find the glimmers of hope where we
can like the people who built the system should be
But I think at the same time, you can cover
that and you can say acknowledge that this person is
something good, but also in that article because most arts,
and I mean six year old Stephen really went out
of his way to make things were fair, rather than
(45:34):
like he did that because he operates in the escape
where we put all this ship on this six year
old kid or however old this child is Like, what
the fuck is how that article should end? Yeah, well
that would be like a more well rounded and truthful
examination of the issue instead of just like the one
like human interest being right because I think it's a
little bit makes us feel good, but then it also
(45:56):
distracts people that like we're actually racing against a clock
of an issue that really needs to be addressed and
not really taken seriously because we have moments and we
just go yeah, I think that it can play cape
people in a really dangerous way. Yeah for sure. Well,
if we ever get a media outlet, we all cover
that side of yeah and everyone platform. Yeah. At the end,
(46:16):
it's like boom, but also shout out to the child,
but also fuck the system that put him or her
them in that situation. All Right, we're going to take
another break. We'll be right back, and we're back and
(46:39):
Radiohead is also back in the news. Yeah, I don't
know what the dude, somebody that just I'll just read
this excerpt from Pitchfork just so you know. They put
out about sixteen hours of unreleased material from around the
time they were recording Okay Computer. And if you're a fan,
you'll be like, wow, that's got to be great, and
(47:00):
the backstory is kind of interesting. Said earlier today, radio
had released over sixteen hours among her demos Blah blah blah,
another miscelany recorded around the time they were working on
Okay Computer. According to a statement from guitars Johnny Greenwood,
the band never wanted to put these recordings out, but
once they realized someone had stolen a cash of mini
discs from Tom York's archive and was reportedly demanding one
(47:21):
dollars to not release them, they decided to upload everything
onto band camp themselves. You can stream it all for
free for the next eighteen days only, or pay eighteen
pounds for downloads, with the proceeds going to the environmental
organization Extinction Rebellion UM. And then like Tom York had
this party, just like, yeah, the materials not v interesting.
There's a lot of it. Check it out there's I mean,
(47:43):
I was listening to some of the stuff if you're
a fan, um, I don't know how many of you
are Radiohead fans in here, but like it's interesting to
see some songs go from like not that great to
like what you heard Okay Computer. It's worse versions of
the songs that I love, but it's like a behind
this scenes. Yeah, and it's really interesting to see how
(48:03):
like the vibe of Okay Computer was like is totally
missing from a lot of the songs, Like what what
was the one that we were listening to that sounded
like kind of lounge e and like jazzy and like
Motion Pictures soundtrack, which is like the most like stark
and just dark song on that. I don't know, they're
(48:23):
all pretty stark and dark, but yeah, it like has
like a lounge e like, yeah, it's fun vibe, but
in a way, you know, like if your creator, it's
one of those things to see. It's like even people
you hold up to be geniuses, like, yeah, it took
they had to walk through some ship to get to
where they got zing transparency, you know what I mean?
And I think watching the homework, Yeah, and I think
(48:45):
that's kind of the value as was listening to, because
they're even moments where like Tom's like like just demoing
stuff on guitar by himself and you're like, whoa, I
think this is him like in the process of writing
like one of these songs, and then you can kind
of tell your like okay, and then it takes a collective,
takes the Johnny Greenwoods and everybody in the world to
be like this idea, let's flush it out, let's make
(49:05):
something better. But yeah, I think it does demystify. I
think it's good for creative people, especially because for me,
especially when I was like first getting into anything music
or comedy, at a very like skewed perception of what
it meant to be creative. Like I thought people were
just geniuses and sat in a room and just want
like blacked out and made ship. And I had no
appreciation for a process or respecting my own process. And
(49:28):
I think things like this help you see like yeah, yeah, well,
I mean the whole thing is processed right, Like it's
sixteen hours. That's like, yeah, I mean it's It can
be painful too, especially when you're first starting. It can
be painful to see the kind of work that you
want to make in the work that you are making
right and not understanding like or even as you I
think like mid level people experienced specifically something where it's like, Okay,
(49:51):
I know what my taste is and I know the
things I like, and I know what I what I
want to make, but I don't have any of the
tools to make it. And so I think like stuff
like this helps us remember that like a lot of
it is trial and error and to be like more
gentle with ourselves. Yeah, yeah, and take this thing out
of the word failure or even what failure is yea,
or celebrate failure right where it's like that's just another
avenue that I don't have to bother going down. It's
(50:12):
an iteration whatever it is, or it's more information, really
is what that is? Like failure? Oh my god, I mean,
we can start a podcast this time off embracing failure.
But some of the early drafts of like some classic
movies like Star Wars or like Batman or Spider Man,
like some of the early attempts to Back to the
Future was like stupid as fuck. In some of the
(50:35):
early drafts um more stupid than hey, Chuck, it's your cousin, Marvin,
Marvin Barvan Barry. That sounds you're looking for. Whenever I
feel really bad about myself, I read the California Cation
pilot script and everything feels better in a really enjoyable way,
surely enjoyable way. Wait, in a way that you're like,
(50:56):
it's so bad, it's good. Yeah, it comes back around
on it. So, wow, he has sex with that sixteen
year old and she punches him in the face. Yeah,
you should not read it. It's good. Does he have
a sex with a sixteen year old in the show? Yeah,
but she doesn't know, he doesn't know that she's sixteen. Yeah,
so it's okay, it's fine. That show in my memory,
I was just like, oh wow, that show was super
(51:18):
fucked up. But I haven't really thought about it in
a long time. That was another show on Showtime. I
didn't see it because in the show Time I watched
it in like later, like once it was on or whatever.
You Yeah, I only saw it like maybe three years ago. Guys,
let's talk about the most important story that we have
covered in our time doing the dailies. I guess there
(51:42):
is a new flavor of sweet sweet lightning it sounds
like I can already tell just by the look that
kind of Okay, so first we have to discuss I
think Baja Blast came out like fifteen years ago. Yes, okay,
so there's been a yeah and now we have something new,
(52:04):
you know, but there are different iterations about blast. Yes,
oh yeah, second, Oh, I know, that's all I know.
I know there's like a red one and liked, and
then maybe a dark blue one, a medium blue. There's
(52:26):
a yellowish one that they have a taco bell that
I don't I usually get. I just did the regular. Yeah,
you know, that's the one time I don't know why
I'm going to Taco Bell. I got to drink because
I'm trying to just fully destroy my insights. Since I
went miniature golfing at a place with that blue water,
I've always wanted to drink something that looked like that. Yeah.
(52:49):
Do people still have those blue toilet water cakes in there?
I felt like that was a very nineties eighties thing. Yeah, oh,
you have one to sup our toilet actually have them?
Uh after the cleaners come sometimes No, but that's them
putting in like there's like a cleaner versus like the thing.
Ever that blue water comes out the whole time, and
(53:11):
then I always remember being like, why is this necessary?
Because my pup was just turning green? Wait? Sorry, real
quick question. That's how you can tell if you're drinking
enough water, yeah, or just in regular just be like
how darker I'm going for? Clear? Right? I'm like, what
what shade will I get? Is four screen? So we're
at the fifteen year anniversary of Baha Blast on the
(53:31):
twenty five year anniversary of the O. J. Simpson Murders,
honoring the lives of Alright, sorry fuck me, let finish
so July one, they're billing it as quote the first
(53:53):
exclusive beverage to be or offered at KFC. Now here's
the deal because it's young brands, young breezies. This is
meaning that they are going to basically, this is something
that they've designed to work with the cheek Colm at KFC. Okay,
so um as they go on the whole um. The
whole goal with Sweet Lightning was to quote create the
(54:15):
perfect pairing for KFC's original recipe, fried chicken. The result
is a golden hute soda with a punch of peach
and a touch of honey flavors. Ostensibly a crisp and
sweet counterpoint too deep friedback, and I'll see that is
some rookie ship because if you're trying to match KFC,
you don't tell people what's in your ingredients. You don't
tell them like what the flavor profile is, right, because
(54:37):
doesn't CAFC like all about secrecy. I mean it's MSG right, right, Yeah,
isn't that they don't mention it? Yeah? All right? Look,
I love um Mountain Dew. I mean not as much
as you, but like in the context of a young
brand's restaurant, shout out to sweet Lightning and making us
all of our teeth rot. It's against God what Mountain
(55:00):
doing generally? Yeah? Oh wow, Yeah, don't go on. Like
what do you drink when you go to South Carolina?
I try to do water? Do you drink drink? I
try to do. I'm actually I drink a lot of
coffee and not so much water. But I used to
work at I used to work at a bakery, like
when I was in high school, and how we clean
the ovens as we would pour moutain do on them
and run them on and it was so acidic that
(55:21):
it would it would like clean chemically clean the bottom
of the oven, like get everything up out of it. Wait,
so in the oven, like at the base of it,
you just put a little pool of mountain deer the oven. Yeah,
and it would we would run self clean on the
oven so like and it would it was like brand new. Yeah,

moment right now. I mean she's she's having a long moment. Well,
she did that all of the music for Dumpling, that
movie on Netflix. Ya Oh, I didn't know you got
that Nascar. I was just talking about me and my
(03:13):
weird little podcast world. They just did Joe Lene on
punch Up the Jam, and you're gonna punch up Jolene
me first in the Gimme Gimmes have like a very
fun punk version of Jolene that's like it's an incredible cover. Yeah,
you can't beat Jolene. And they don't punch it up.
They don't. They don't. Like they basically talking about how
(03:35):
good it is the whole time, But it makes you
appreciate how good. The only way you could kind of
punch it up is if you do the half speed
version because that version speed, Oh, it's like a groover. Yeah,
I have to listen to it. She met a little
girl named Jolene and that's what inspired her to write that.
Isn't that weird? It's kind and you can tell that's
one thing that she was like, man steel year old.
(04:01):
Partially it was that there's a bank teller that her
husband always wanted to go to, and she was like,
I bet he wants to, you know, get with this girl.
And then Joelene, the name and all the physical descriptions
are about a five year old girl, which would be
weird if you think about it too much. But they
were talking about how the song is clearly like from
(04:22):
the point of view of someone who's kind of in
love with Joe Lenet like, yeah, at that Ivory stand
because it's just like, God, damn, you're beautiful. This is
like a smoke of blood person. I played this very
un early in the show. But Joline Joline jo alright,
(04:49):
so you know, if you're that just search Dolly Parton.
Jolyne at thirty three rpm is all right, Ellery, We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna take our listener through
a few of the things we're talking about today. The
Internet is piste off about Chernobyl selfies. We're gonna place
them in a grand tradition of just shitty selfies at
(05:11):
uh inappropriate locations. We're gonna talk about the President liking
the first tweet he's liked in years and it's a
Rehanna tweet. We're gonna talk about where the USA ranks
in terms of the list of most peaceful nations around
the world, most peaceful places to live. Not great poliosis, Miles,
(05:33):
is what you're calling this next segment, we're talking about
poles coming out. They're they're bad for President Trump. It
seems like, hey, this feels like all over again. I know,
like you're cooked, motherfucker. Yeah. But you know, but either way,
still based on what some people are saying, I definitely
(05:55):
wouldn't say it's a good sign, you know. And Edwick
has discovered a uh secret newly discovered reason not to
market to millennials, uh, namely that they're broke. They we
we we're broke. I'm I'm actually they define millennial is
eight one and I'm a oh really yeah, yeah, your
(06:17):
generation next. I'm just talking about with this article, I'm
generation account and I'm definitely broke. Radiohead doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
We're gonna talk about that. And finally, maybe the most
important story of Daily Zeitgeist, the smalas at Mountain Dew
(06:41):
have blessed us with a new flavor of do the
first new flavor in years. Don't even tell them, just
yeah they are stick around. Okay, it's exciting stuff. What
they're what they're matching it with. I'm acting like we're
breaking news. Don't run it for them? Yeah, what give
us a chance? Wait, yeah, let me describe, yes, please please.
(07:02):
Ellery First, we'd like to ask our guests, what is
something from your search history that's revealing about who you are.
I'm trying to buy a shirt that says vegetarian on it.
That would be funny. So I have vegetarian shirt men's,
vegetarian shirt women's, and then I searched vegetarian shirt kids
because I'm small. Oh and did you find store? No,
(07:22):
I'm gonna have to make one, I think, really yeah,
yeah that there's no vallion dollar idea on air pos.
I'm gonna do a cafe press if anybody wants to
put it in order. There you go, or should we
sho do it through public? What if you make that shirt?
But then it becomes like the next FBI Female Body inspector.
It's just like popular with like toxic because toxic dudes.
(07:44):
I don't eat pussy. Yeah, that's those dudes would not
be wearing a vegetarian shirt. There's like a subsect of
dudes who will eat pussy. Like it's a favor to
you to think that would be. I don't know if
you remember, like off the rip, I went like I
call my dick or nothing like I meet you out
and I'm aprecire you came. So that's what it was
(08:05):
cool that I called you a bitch in front of
everyone who you're scribing three of my ex boyfriends? Yeah?
Or me? What is something you think is underrated? Something
I think is underrated? Spoilers? Spoilers are underrated? Yeah, I
think it's like spoiler no, no, no. I enjoy spoilers
(08:26):
because sometimes watching movies makes me anxious, Like if I
don't know what's going to happen, I can't enjoy the ride.
So I like to google the end of the movie
before I go Wow. So you and Jack are very similar,
like that, you're the first person who I've heard say
that and one of the first people who I've ever
heard who doesn't think that that's a completely insane thing. Yeah,
people get on me about it a lot, but it
(08:48):
lets me like enjoy Yeah, you craft of the thing, right, Yeah,
you can appreciate it more. Yeah, I get to enjoy
the details right away, like that is going to happen?
Is yeah, distracting. It is distracting. And it's also like
an Yeah, I suffer from the movie based anxiety. That's
the sort of soft boy that I am. I don't
know if I told this story three times before, but
(09:08):
I saw the movie seven in the movie theater with
my dad and he screamed so loud. And I don't
know if you remember all the specific sins from that movie,
but there was Sloth, remember on the bed and he
was like basically decomposing. I thought he was on the
there's also the gluttony, right, that was the one who
had a bunch of force fed cancer. Uh. No, Sloth
(09:30):
was a dude on the bed and like there was
all those air fresheners hanging from the Yeah, and with
the part when he wakes up. My dad shrieked in
the theater, and it was like me and my friend
and we were like twelve at the time. We were
so embarrassed because he literally it's like full on half
the movie. Theater was like checking on him. And then
my dad away said, He's like, this is why I
(09:51):
don't like these movies, man, because like I have to
when I don't know, I'm in such a like elevated
state of anticipation anxiety for when those releases come. All
bets are off industry test whenever that came out. But
that contributes to an overall sense of dread, which is
the goal of that movie. So yeah, like I can't
watch that scene now and not have that reaction, Like
(10:14):
you definitely raise yourself. Yeah, I'm also like a little
bitter about having my emotions manipulated, which I understand is
like the point, which is the whole point. But I'm
always like, you're not gonna get me, Like wow, wow
for you, that's your resting control. Yeah, you're taking it back.
You're saying, well, hold on, I know what happens, so
(10:34):
I'll decide I'm not going to be on this. Yeah,
you can't get me Okay, what's your favorite movie? What's
my favorite movie? Probably Sunshine Cleaning or a Little Sunshine
anything Anything. One is like the movie Sunshine Emily Blunt
movie where there they are crime scene clean up people
(10:55):
who are also sisters. It's a great is there is
there a mystery film a film that had a twist
ending it you liked? Ever, I don't think. I'm not
a big movie person, right, Yeah, there you go. Do
so do you look up spoilers to like regular TV? No,
I'm less likely to do it for TV because I
think maybe I care more about to be Also, I
(11:15):
have more invested in sort of character development TV, whereas
with movies, like because it's so much shorter, you're like
on an expedited, accelerated track. Yeah, for sure. What is
something you think is overrated? Christmas? I think Christmas is
extremely overrated? Wow? Yeah, you and I are not like that?
(11:35):
Oh my god? Is that against Um? It's against Christ? Yes?
Christ Mass? Christmas? Um? What is it about it? Like?
You just don't like the think it's a lot of
I think the whole season right, because it goes from
like November one until like just the whole season is
so wrapped up in expectation and also like capitalism andsm
(12:00):
and it's it's horrible, and it makes you feel like, uh,
if you don't have family, if you don't have a
place to go during those months, right, it makes you
feel like you're not included in the sort of sentiment
of the season. Right. And it's really just about like
performatively showing your family how much you love them, even
(12:20):
if you can't actually stand them, you know. And it
requires like a lot of travel that I personally find
pretty stressful. I'm definitely too selfish to take those expectations
on because when it's Christias and I'm like, this is
my excuse to dress like fuck like sweatpants all day
and watch a bunch of dumb fucking You're like reclaiming
(12:40):
it for self care. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas I have like
family all over the place, I'm like running around to
make everybody happy and like show up to everybody's Christmas, right,
And that's you know, I think that's my privilege, with
my dad's side of the family being pretty centrally in
Los Angeles and then my mom everyone on that side
lives in Japan. Yeah, and they don't look with Christmas,
so It's not like they're like, you're not coming for Christmas,
(13:02):
but the New Years are like, wait, you do go
over to Japan because because New Year's is a big
holiday and I like to see everybody and you know,
checking on my my aunts and stuff. Yeah. I do
think that probably not having anywhere to travel besides the
coolest place to travel to probably helps with your Christmas.
(13:23):
You don't just think of Santa Claus because he needs
some milk, but drop that's what I want to go
with those cookies. Yeah, you know he needs some milk.
I'm sorry, I'm abusing the soundboard right Nowlarry, is there
a holiday you really like? No? I have a similar
feelings around the years, right. I like Halloween a lot.
(13:45):
I feel like I can funk with Halloween movies. There's
like a lot of camp involved. Yeah yeah, what about No?
The other ones are just drinking holidays. Yeah, I'm not
also like not a big drinker. I'm just I'm not
really a holiday of person, do you uh? And you
have to travel back to is your family still in Albany?
So this is really about Albany and sort of sort
(14:07):
of my mom moved to old small town in South
Carolina and my sister lives with her husband in like
rural New Hampshire. Yes, so it's I'm traveling to a
lot of red on the highlights. It's a lot of
And it's just I have a very complicated relationship with
it because it's I come from like a fairly conservative family,
and so in l A, I get to mouth off
like all day long about things that I believe, and
(14:29):
then I go home and I have to like button
up a little bit through your tongue exactly you're coming
out of your mouth. Yeah, I'm bleeding from the mouth. Really,
I'm sorry about the feudal immigration crisis. Yeah, absolutely. Uh.
And finally, what's a myth? What's something people think is
true you know, to be false or vice versa. Um.
(14:51):
I think the myth that like, with enough hard work,
anything is possible is like sort of a toxic one, right,
because it's just it's a ratio of privilege and a
it's also specifically like in entertainment, it's a rature of
how often, uh, just like being in the right place
at the right time comes into it. And it's also
it's sort of like undermines actual hard work because you
(15:13):
can get into a cycle where you think that you're
not doing enough. So I think that's one and all. Yeah, No,
I think that is one of the biggest and most
pervasive and toxic myths in the United States. Yeah. Yeah,
it's also it's a crazy pervasive idea that I think,
can you can internalize and then uh like weaponize against
(15:37):
yourself and some pretty harmful ways. Yeah. And then you know,
people like Steve Jobs as biographers and like all all
the people who write this who tell the story of
like huge accomplishments in American history just right, the people
who helped them and all the all the privilege and
head starts that they had, they just write those things out. Absolutely,
(15:59):
people get screwed over, and it ends up giving us
this ideology of like like where where I don't know,
like the way I was raised, Like culturally, I feel
like like collectivism is like so foreign to my mindset,
and that's I think that's a bad thing. Yeah, I
think absolutely. I think specifically Americans maybe have a hard
(16:23):
time with um like collaboration the goal in and of itself,
And that's something I had to learn in working with TV.
It's like your ideas are not paramount and nor will
they ever be. The paramount is the collective, right, It's
about like what we can all do to mold and
to punch up this one thing that we're working on together.
And that's sort of like a that's sort of like
a separate topic from like you on your personal endeavors,
(16:47):
thinking that if you work as hard as you can
and like burn the candle at both ends, you'll eventually
get what you want, which is sort of like setting
yourself up for disappointment and not taking into consideration the
fact that people are starting at different points. Yeah. Yeah, uh,
my bootstraps broke off too hard. Yeah, luckily someone just
(17:08):
discovering me on the street. Yeah, I mean, give me
this podcast. The idea of pulling yourself up by your
bootstraps is physical. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but I
think the original idea of like, well, yeah, just pull
yourself up by your bootstraps, it was that that's impossible,
that you need people to help you, and it's an
idiom we all got wrong, right, Yeah, Yeah, there's tons
(17:28):
of those two. Yeah, I don't I love thinking about
that that somebody was saying it's sarcastic. Ye, think about that.
How are you going to pull yourself up by your bootstrap.
That's my impression with somebody pulling themselves up by their bootstraps,
I think it's said. Well, they're like, I mean, people
clearly research this a lot because they're like, what is
(17:49):
the origin of it? Because it refers, of course to
boots and the straps that some boots have attached to
help the wear pull them on, and to the imagined
feet of lifting oneself off the ground. Is not good
at finding origins of venue. Yeah, they just have so
many false leads. It's just like, I'm trying to think
of what you could say now that is just as
like completely devoid of any kind of like logic or
(18:12):
science behind it of lift physically pulling yourself anyway, it's
sort of like the ultimate platitude, right yeah, right, It's
enough to get you thinking and then the second but wait,
that doesn't track my bootstraps, like saying time takes time. Yeah,
just like no ship. But don't done that. Uh, let's
(18:36):
talk about Chernobyl selfies, guys, did what does that mean? Chernobyl?
People are going to Chernobyl following you know, people like
to go to real life locations from their favorite TV
shows and takes selfies like the Signfeld coffee Shop, the
Tanner House in San Francisco, Chernobyl because there was that
(18:57):
HBO series that we're still discussing in detail. Because I'm
waiting for Miles to watch, I will watch it this
weekend over I have I have time stocked away to
go into a very dark place. Yes, but the real
life Chernobyl, the Exclusion Zone has seen a spike in
tour bookings thirty percent more than usual in May and
(19:19):
fort during the rest of the summer months. And that's
off the strength of the show. People are assuming that
it must be unless there's some other reason. Chernobyl is
really in right now, really hot right now. Um yeah,
and people are taking smiling selfies all over the place there.
The show runner had to come out and say, if
you visit, please remember that a terrible tragedy occurred there.
(19:42):
Comport yourself with respect for all who suffered and sacrificed. Um.
Is there like a specific spot they keep going to, Like,
is there like a memorial thing or they're just sort
of like pointing to, like, oh, signing it's probably like
right yeah, like this dude skin melted off here, ha
ha lo lo lo please like hashtag melted skin, hashtag turnobyl,
hashtag HBO hashtag Yeah, so you were telling me about
(20:05):
a habit that you have a semi annual habit. I'm look,
I studied history in college, and I think history is
very important. I respect history. Um, and this is a
thing of people taking inappropriate Instagram photos at every at
every imaginable kind of place, especially ones were like awful
shit happen? Like where the where the World Trade Center? Oh?
(20:27):
Jack Gregs with the Tale of the Bachelor Party. The
nine eleven Memorial, despite being a place specifically for quiet
reflection on the whole design is made for a quiet reflection,
uh is often filled with tourists granting for selfies, and
in two thousand sixteen, a bachelor party took selfies with
a blow up dollard. Yeah, of course, because who where
(20:50):
else would you have your bachelor party? Then I don't
love it, dude. Can you imagine what kind of witty
caption they're like, Dude, this is ground zero for the
end of Brett's fucking life. Inside blow job. Yeah, inside job, damn,
that's why she's writing fatigued let him know. Um. No,
So another thing you know. I remember a few years
(21:10):
ago when the Holocaust memorial went up in Berlin. There
were a lot of people being like, please stop planking
on it, stopped doing yoga poses on it. So every
now and then I check in on it, and Jack
thought I was joking. I have screen grabs from January
when I was looking at it last with some of
the more fucking weird like just inappropriate. Ship Again, this
is a memorial to the Jews that were killed in
(21:33):
the Holocaust. It seems so obvious. It's when I went
to Emerson College in Boston. There's like a famous museum there,
and two kids were kind having sex inside. No, yea
in the fucking museum. Yeah. Well it's it's like it's
it's it's like an outdoor it's not a museum. It's
like a yeah, but it's it's like it's yeah, there's more.
(21:56):
It's like a memorial site. It's outside, it's sort of
like a little parky but not and you have two kids.
Two kids are having sex there, and it's just like
so interesting to me, the things that seem obvious that
are not right, like how tone deaf people can be. Well,
I think this is why. So for example, this is one.
Um again, this woman looks really cute. There she has
(22:16):
the location tagged ellery. Can you please read the caption
of that photo. So this is a woman looking cute
at the Holocaust memorial in Germany. It says, what a
time to be alive? Fash drake put a motherfucking drake. Quote.
Memorial to the murder Juice is tagged. You tagged that
photo there, and your caption is what a time to
be alive? Drake? What a time to be alive? Also,
(22:40):
this is another one. This is another dude. Dude is
just showing off his bicet. He's flexing in the thing.
Read this caption respect to all the lost souls. Hashtag
peg Berlin two thousands, Aura two thousand eighteen, hashtag pen
Germany two thousand eighteen. This guy again. And then just
(23:01):
one last one, Um, this is another one. Just a
woman flexing in her like burbery outfit, looking really cute.
And then this hashtag just says hashtag memorial to the
murder juice. But what she looks like she's doing like
a fashion like outfit of the day type anyway, Yeah,
no exactly, And I think that's where you get you
(23:23):
go to these places which are meant to sort of
inspire reflection or be like, wow, this is a significant thing.
But we live in an age now we're like I
can get some likes with this, Like, let me just
turn my hip out in front of the hashtag memorial
for the murder Juice of your Quiet Reflection falls in
the woods, you know what I mean, and we'll look
at like, yeah, Auschwitz in particular has had to ask
(23:46):
people to stop balancing themselves. I think this means like
planking on the infamous railway tracks. That's what you should be,
honestly like. But so this this makes me like, this
makes me despair for you guys, this generation over but yourself.
(24:12):
Z Okay, oh yeah, you probably are. You know, I'm not.
I'm the last year three generations. But this is actually
something like our writer jam McNabb was pointing out that
there's like souvenir stands all over Chernobyl, like fridge magnets,
radioactive ice cream, canned air. There's a canned air. Yeah,
(24:36):
there's a tea shirt radioactive Wolf Chernobyl. Uh. And then
the world's most depressing snow globe. It's a snow globe
of the factory, but then the snow is black, so yeah,
it looks like yeah, fun, fun gift, fun Christmas gift. Yeah. Yeah,
(24:58):
so we've been We've been terrible since the beginning, I think. Yeah. Well,
also the invention of the nine eleven souvenirs, and in
every place that deals with money, any capitalist place is
going to monetize anything as we monetize. If we think
about like the onslaught of true crime documentaries and pedophiliate
(25:18):
doccumentaries like we are we are not, we are almost
constantly trafficking in tragedy. So it's not this is like
two steps away from that, you know. Yeah, I feel
like some true crime at least you can tell yourself
you're trying to create meaning from like the truth of
the situation, whereas snow globe doesn't create as much meaning.
(25:40):
But maybe it does to some people. I don't know.
I mean, I think at the end of the day,
like you're using this awful ship and the trauma of
other people to be like you won't see some It's
basically you won't see a dead body. And imagine if
that dead body was your mother, you'd before you would
be fighting people. I put the funk out of here.
(26:00):
But again, you know, please have respect at the very
least at memorials. If you want to do some wild
at the Statue of Liberty, fine, yeah, you know, but when.
But at the end of the day, I gotta do
it for the likes. That's the culture for the Graham.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and real quick. Donald Trump
(26:31):
has liked his first tweet in years. Uh. He's very
active on Twitter, but he doesn't like things because he's
I guess dead and empty on the inside. But uh,
the so he liked a tweet and I'm just gonna
read it to you guys. Uh. It is a tweet
that says, every new Rihanna interview makes me grow stronger.
We stand a work life balance, queen. And then it's
(26:53):
a screen cap of a quote from Rihanna that includes
the phrase, just like I nurtured my business, and you
didn't nurture personal time as well. Rihanna told Paulson, I'll
shut things down for two days, three days at a time.
On my calendar. We now have the infamous P which
means personal days. This is a new thing, so it's
(27:14):
presidential time. The p for him is presidential time. Yeah. Yeah,
when was the last what was the last tweet he
liked before this? I don't know. It's been years, like
literally years and years. It's been. Oh, that's see, he's
going he's going through it. He's going through it. He's
even interacted like time for yourself, Queen. Yeah, exactly. He
(27:37):
has eight likes total before that September one, seventeen. It
says please after several typos, he's just not presidential material.
It's like in response to something I think George Popa
was no. Trump tweeted he liked dude his tweet. He
likes his own twenty cents Donald Trump. Before that, Donald
(27:58):
Trump issues statement on Ted Cruise birth certificate, and it's
like a photo of him saying Nixon was a quitter.
I've done twice the bad stuff he did, but you
won't see me resigning. Cool. Okay, Yeah, so maybe not
the best way to gauge in his inner life, but yeah,
it's just it's just good good to know. And also
(28:20):
I do stand a work life balance, queen, Yeah, you
have to. It is a good it is. I wondered
if he went to other people's like you see a
bit of Rihanna can do it. I get in trouble,
but Rihanna gets away with it. M yeah, I get
a new song coming out called turd Boy. He's definitely aging,
(28:41):
the least of any president in the history of the president,
of course, because he's making it work for him at
the detriment of the rest of the country. The humans
so incredibly aged, so it's hard to heighten that he
does have all sorts of smoking mirrors worked out. Oh man,
I just want to take a makeup wipe to his face.
I know, well, I just want to fill in around
(29:02):
Like whoever his makeup artist is is absolutely dogging him.
He must because there are some like serious oversights, especially
around his eyes. He does not learn. Hello, beauty blender,
Can you send him a beauty blender sponsor him? But
I can't imagine that he would. I feel like he
would not do his own makeup. Maybe he likes fenty Gal,
(29:23):
he likes orange. Yeah, not for or he was trying it.
He's like, and I really think you should consider expanding
the palette of colors you ever, it was a big
fair um guys at the moment we've all been waiting
for the thirteenth Annual Global Peacefulness Survey, And what is it?
(29:45):
They rank countries around the world by how peaceful they
are based on like militarism, uh, internal like confidence in leadership,
internal confidence in institutions. Uh yeah, it's not our strongest
event as a country. The US is ranked on the list.
(30:08):
What's the bottom? So the bottom is Afghanistan just replaced Syria.
Um yeah, so, and we might as well just add
that to our attack, that onto our score because that
so really I think we're number one. So other Western
countries Australia's thirteen, Canada, I think it's fourth, Germany, Britain
(30:30):
and France sixt Who's number one? Number one is Iceland.
Damn good for them because they're fucking tap waters like we.
We would pay seven bucks a bottle for oh lets.
Some of the factors they take into a counter death
from conflict, perceptions of global leadership, and that's that last
one is the one where the US they have a
(30:51):
line graph of that and everybody else is just kind
of going along at the same pace. And right in
two thousand and sixteen, the US it just falls off
a cliff really d more pronounced yeah, interesting, boy, well,
you know, yeah, let's see what happens next year. Can
(31:15):
you imagine? Do you think we can go lower? You think, well,
I guess I think the show is still be around
if the earth is still around? Uh, will we go
up or down? Injections? Uh? What can we climb up
the charts? Do you think we can get Yeah? Yeah,
if we don't elect Donald Trump, well by this point,
I figure it'll come out around this time next year,
so we'll still be in office. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
(31:40):
think a lot because I think I don't think we've
even seen the beginning of the fun he can do. Yeah,
is going to be a nightmare already, it's already a nightmare.
But if he loses, I don't think he's going to
leave peacefully. And I don't know. This is something that
you can like just kind of generally feeling the ether
of like day to day life that you're like if
(32:03):
you travel abroad and like there's just a sense of
peacefulness or like you're not physically threatened or that's like
you don't have to assume one in every twenty people
you've passed is armed. Like there you can like feel
that and oh yeah, just like your day to day life.
It's wild when you go to countries like that and
(32:23):
you're like, damn, there's no like collective tension, Like you
just step off and you're like, there's a tangible dread American. Anyways,
let's talk poliosis. Yeah, uh, let's that's a new segment
we're gonna do talking about the pulse um and and
also scoliosis awareness. But yeah, so politically, just did a
(32:46):
new poll testing people on these hypothetical head to head
matchups just to see kind of okay, like if it
was today, who's gonna win? Oh man and not good
for Trump. But again, we don't know what this really
means because it's still what fucking eighteen months away, Yeah,
our thirteen months whatever it is. So head to head
(33:07):
Biden and Trump percent said they would choose a former
vice president said they'd vote for Trump, Um said undecided
against Sanders forty two percent against Trump who had UM
and then against Elizabeth the warrant against Elizabeth Warren statistical tie.
Then even when you go down to some of the
(33:29):
other candidates like Kamala Harris and Corey Booker better or
work Um, they're like just small leads, nothing significant. And
you know this uh. They also note that in any
and all of these matchups, Trump never got over thirty
three percent, even though some of these Democrats Democratic candidates
were getting into the forties. And you know, there's a
(33:50):
couple of things to keep in mind. Biden is not
going to keep this momentum of the whole time as
people put him up next to other people, and they're
gonna be like, say words about your beliefs this time,
being like landy presidential in people's memories is not something
that's going to hold up well when I'm not sure
who the funk thinks he's he's going to bring revived
(34:10):
bipartisanship to d C. Like what again, Like all the
people he's pointed to is like I worked with so
and so. I'm like, you're talking about thirty years ago, right,
this is a new game, baby, they don't play it
just age based people who most of their life was
before it went terrible. And also the other thing you
know to keep in mind is that people are about
seventy satisfied happy about where the economy is right now.
(34:36):
Tie the economy to the presidency in a way that
just is not actually true or reliable, right, Like they
associate the two things, even though they almost never sink
up and have not so much to do with one.
An it's weird they'll connect it when it doesn't need
to be and then not make the connection when it's
absolutely imperative that you understand that there's no connection there.
(34:56):
Like I remember, like you know, Obama came in there like, well,
well look what he did the economy, but he just
start like, that's not how the economy works. Shift just
started and he came in with a mop and was
like what the funk happened in here? Very similarly when
Trump got an office and people like, oh, the economy
is turning around, but that's because of Obama's policy, Like
if we wait a few more months and see what
happens with the tariffs, it's going to go down, right.
(35:17):
And now you have Trump being like, okay, we'll look
at the economy. Now. Now he's really trying to make
that connection. I mean, so we'll see what like if
I mean, I doubt he's going to actually kind of
have any kind of coherent messaging around like how good
he is. Yeah, I'm actually very interested to see like
what his campaign because it looks like at this point
there's no other Republican nominee. But like, I'm very interested
to see what the Trump campaign looks like going forward,
(35:37):
specifically because right now, pretty much any of the Democratic
candidates could run against him, and we could have an
election and it would be competitive, which is saying a lot,
because they're like people running. Yeah, so many. Well that's
why the you know, we'll see those two debates. It
will be two days of debates just to fit in
like those twenty people that actually get in. The Other
thing though, too, looking at a lot of the stories
(35:59):
around this polling is that, you know, this isn't good news.
Especially on top of that, there's even more polling that
was showing that he's losing his grip on some of
those swing states that delivered him those electoral votes. Um.
And this is from the New York Times said quote.
After being briefed on a devastating seventeen state poll conducted
by his campaign poster Tony Fabrizio, Mr Trump told aids
(36:20):
to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Mr
Biden in many of the states he needs to win,
even though he is also trailing in public polls from
key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania UM. And when
the top line details of the polling leaked, including numbers
showing the president lagging in a cluster of critical restbelt states,
Mr Trump instructed AIDS to say publicly that other data
(36:40):
showed him doing well. Also, Democrats have about a six
point lead on a generic congressional ballot, So yeah, I mean,
oh boy, this is what I'm saying, Like, there's a
lot of ship going against him. At the same time,
the only incumbent to lose an election was George H. W. Bush,
and that was when the economy went to ship um.
(37:03):
At the on the other hand, at this point during
his presidency, George H. W. Bush's approval was plus fifty six.
Trump's is minus eleven right now. So hey, man, you
know chin up? Chin's up? My man, I don't I
stopped tweet I used to just ask him if he
(37:24):
eats pieces of ship for breakfast every time he tweeted.
But it was too much not didn't it old I'm
very juvenile and I'll die doing a terrible bit. Uh Yeah,
I just didn't have the energy to keep up with
all the ship that it was being tweeted. But yeah,
I think Again, that also points to when you look
at this, right, he's losing those pieces of the puzzle
(37:44):
that helped to keep him in office, which keeps the
threat of all his legal troubles you know at bay um.
And that's why I'm curious, like as because clearly, like
when you read things like this, he's now in that
part where he's slowly entering the denial phase of being like,
m like, don't tell me that, I don't want to know.
But and then that's what I'm curious to see. As
(38:05):
things become more desperate, how even more desperate, that kind
of should he'll do to distract and try and keep
some kind of hold. And again, as he said before,
he's always talked about, he's teased going to war as
a way to stay in office. And that is frightening thought. Yeah,
I mean that is why bush One's approval was so
(38:25):
high at that time. It's because he just started a
war because the media at the time was calling him
a whimp literally, right, and go to him into it
and show you whim. I'll show you whimp to some
war crimes. Let's talk about at week, guys, we we
look to them for any you know, reporting about millennials
and young people in general. At Week generally has their
(38:47):
finger on the pulse. Yeah. Uh, so they published an article.
I'm just gonna read the headline and subhead too. It's
so aggravated this whole that this is even an article
on ad Week. Yes, why targeting millennial consumers might not
be such a hot idea after all. And then subhead,
(39:10):
a growing body of evidence shows why gen y consumers
aren't ideal because many of them are broke, that's the subhead. So, uh,
they're ruining We're ruining everything because we're broke and can't
buy anything. But then I like even how ad week
is like, here's the deal. They're the problem because they're broke.
(39:30):
Otherwise the consumer machine could run fine if they weren't. Yeah,
it's really interesting to read all these things that we've
known are true and have talked about for the past
two years, but written from the perspective of like a consumerist,
like advocate earlier. You know. So they're they're talking about
(39:51):
how this new survey of four thousand American consumers determined that,
you know, millennials are just not spending as much money
on random ship basically, And then they said the problem
is not their size, as millennials represent a larger consumer
group than the baby boomers, and it's not the block
of money they control. Millennials spend about six billion dollars
(40:14):
a year. Uh. The problem rather is that millennials are
saddled with very larger and unavoidable expenses that reduce their
spending power when it comes to discretionary purchasing that gets
marketers so excited, expenses like what they write. Data from
Deloitte and other sources point to at least two major
factors that are impeding millennial spending power right now, housing
(40:36):
in student debt. What I there more obvious? It's so
weird to hear like a capitalist assessment of the fucking
the machinations of the the terrible ship that happens in
this stage of capitalism, Like they're the people who sell
the ship. And then they're like, huh, we're it's interesting,
we're noticing that this system that we're perpetuating has led
(40:59):
to this consumer group not having enough money, and now
we're kind of rubbing our chins about it, like right,
But to have any other take would require self awareness
about their their position in capitalism. Exactly exactly what it
means to be foisting expectations of expenditure onto your consumers
when your consumers are literally under the thumb of systemic debt, right,
And it's like if you're trying to eat and survive.
(41:21):
It's it's like all of those articles about how millennials
are killing certain industries when in fact those industries don't
exist to serve them and they should be changing their models. Yeah,
if you didn't need a sandwich all the time, you'd
have enough money for a house. Yeah, that is that
is like an art that really yeah. Yeah, and it
also that's an argument that really like boils my blood
(41:42):
because it's like life is so difficult if you need
to have a sandwich out do it? Like your nine
dollar sandwich is not going to even the playing field
as far as generational wealth goes, do you know what
I mean? Like the people who can buy houses in
Los Angeles are from intergenerational wealth that like, honestly they
should be redistributing into the community and instead are investing
(42:02):
in like assets, which is neither here nor there. But
it's just like, yeah, it'sh god, and that none of
them ever take the time to say, well, why is
why is someone even forced to decide between a sandwich
and healthcare. I want to use zoom out a little
bit like the context of the Yeah, it's it's like
an examination of the symptoms that has no lens on
(42:24):
the causey right, It's it's a really important point that
you don't see covered a lot in the media, is
that millennials have, like they spend a lot of money.
It's just they're spending it on things that cost more
to their generation, housing and student debt, Like student debt
(42:45):
has gone like the cost of college has gone way
up compared to previous generations, and so is housing just
erased that all that fucking debt Now, Yeah, I think
like what is actually like necessary as an examination of
like why college costs of risin so exterminately, Like what
point does it become almost predatory lending, right, like giving
(43:05):
student loans out to eighteen year olds who may be
like do or do not have a co signer, don't
really know what's going on, making sure that they're like
knowing the difference between federal and private loans. So it's like,
at what point is that sort of like a predatory
housing loan? Yeah, Well, and I think that's also just
I think fundamentally we just also don't. When I think
about the presidential race, I'm like, I'm more interested in
(43:26):
candidates who question why things like health and education are
profitable revenue streams for companies rather than like, these are not.
These aren't things that need to generate revenue exactly. But
I would argue that under capitalism, there's sort of the
idea that anything and everything is available for purchase and
available to monetize, and if that incentive exists, there's always
(43:46):
going to be corporations and people who wanted to exist.
Like if we think about the pharmaceutical industry specifically in America, Uh,
we experience drug prices that in other country does because
of things like you know, patent and there's just like
no incentive to stop doing it because there's so much
money inside of it. Yeah. Well, I think that's why
we're having this these like moments where we're having to
(44:07):
really examine like the sort of systems we're living under them,
Like how long can this go before completely flame? Yeah? Absolutely,
and before it cannibalizes it? Yeah, Because I mean that's
what's happening now with all this kind of private privatization
of public works and things like that. So yeah, that
drives me nuts, especially like stories about like kids who
will fill in potholes for free in the city will
just like send them a check and it's just like
(44:28):
that is a broken state, right, Or there's like another
one of like kid uses his like uh fucking chore
money to pay unch. Did you I read one of
those stories and the lunch that was like seventy four
dollars and it's like your local government, I'll send seventy
four dollars, Like your local government can't cover that, like
what is right? But instead, the way that that gets
(44:52):
turned into a news story is if a private individual
has to cover it for the people, like that's yeah,
but we all to lift those stories up and celebrate
them in a way that becomes like toxic, like we're like, oh,
that's so sweet, instead of being like that's actually super
fucked up that they had to do that, Like where
where are any of the governmental support system? Yes, I
(45:13):
don't blame us though, I think that I think like
we're going to find the glimmers of hope where we
can like the people who built the system should be
But I think at the same time, you can cover
that and you can say acknowledge that this person is
something good, but also in that article because most arts,
and I mean six year old Stephen really went out
of his way to make things were fair, rather than
(45:34):
like he did that because he operates in the escape
where we put all this ship on this six year
old kid or however old this child is Like, what
the fuck is how that article should end? Yeah, well
that would be like a more well rounded and truthful
examination of the issue instead of just like the one
like human interest being right because I think it's a
little bit makes us feel good, but then it also
(45:56):
distracts people that like we're actually racing against a clock
of an issue that really needs to be addressed and
not really taken seriously because we have moments and we
just go yeah, I think that it can play cape
people in a really dangerous way. Yeah for sure. Well,
if we ever get a media outlet, we all cover
that side of yeah and everyone platform. Yeah. At the end,
(46:16):
it's like boom, but also shout out to the child,
but also fuck the system that put him or her
them in that situation. All Right, we're going to take
another break. We'll be right back, and we're back and
(46:39):
Radiohead is also back in the news. Yeah, I don't
know what the dude, somebody that just I'll just read
this excerpt from Pitchfork just so you know. They put
out about sixteen hours of unreleased material from around the
time they were recording Okay Computer. And if you're a fan,
you'll be like, wow, that's got to be great, and
(47:00):
the backstory is kind of interesting. Said earlier today, radio
had released over sixteen hours among her demos Blah blah blah,
another miscelany recorded around the time they were working on
Okay Computer. According to a statement from guitars Johnny Greenwood,
the band never wanted to put these recordings out, but
once they realized someone had stolen a cash of mini
discs from Tom York's archive and was reportedly demanding one
(47:21):
dollars to not release them, they decided to upload everything
onto band camp themselves. You can stream it all for
free for the next eighteen days only, or pay eighteen
pounds for downloads, with the proceeds going to the environmental
organization Extinction Rebellion UM. And then like Tom York had
this party, just like, yeah, the materials not v interesting.
There's a lot of it. Check it out there's I mean,
(47:43):
I was listening to some of the stuff if you're
a fan, um, I don't know how many of you
are Radiohead fans in here, but like it's interesting to
see some songs go from like not that great to
like what you heard Okay Computer. It's worse versions of
the songs that I love, but it's like a behind
this scenes. Yeah, and it's really interesting to see how
(48:03):
like the vibe of Okay Computer was like is totally
missing from a lot of the songs, Like what what
was the one that we were listening to that sounded
like kind of lounge e and like jazzy and like
Motion Pictures soundtrack, which is like the most like stark
and just dark song on that. I don't know, they're
(48:23):
all pretty stark and dark, but yeah, it like has
like a lounge e like, yeah, it's fun vibe, but
in a way, you know, like if your creator, it's
one of those things to see. It's like even people
you hold up to be geniuses, like, yeah, it took
they had to walk through some ship to get to
where they got zing transparency, you know what I mean?
And I think watching the homework, Yeah, and I think
(48:45):
that's kind of the value as was listening to, because
they're even moments where like Tom's like like just demoing
stuff on guitar by himself and you're like, whoa, I
think this is him like in the process of writing
like one of these songs, and then you can kind
of tell your like okay, and then it takes a collective,
takes the Johnny Greenwoods and everybody in the world to
be like this idea, let's flush it out, let's make
(49:05):
something better. But yeah, I think it does demystify. I
think it's good for creative people, especially because for me,
especially when I was like first getting into anything music
or comedy, at a very like skewed perception of what
it meant to be creative. Like I thought people were
just geniuses and sat in a room and just want
like blacked out and made ship. And I had no
appreciation for a process or respecting my own process. And
(49:28):
I think things like this help you see like yeah, yeah, well,
I mean the whole thing is processed right, Like it's
sixteen hours. That's like, yeah, I mean it's It can
be painful too, especially when you're first starting. It can
be painful to see the kind of work that you
want to make in the work that you are making
right and not understanding like or even as you I
think like mid level people experienced specifically something where it's like, Okay,
(49:51):
I know what my taste is and I know the
things I like, and I know what I what I
want to make, but I don't have any of the
tools to make it. And so I think like stuff
like this helps us remember that like a lot of
it is trial and error and to be like more
gentle with ourselves. Yeah, yeah, and take this thing out
of the word failure or even what failure is yea,
or celebrate failure right where it's like that's just another
avenue that I don't have to bother going down. It's
(50:12):
an iteration whatever it is, or it's more information, really
is what that is? Like failure? Oh my god, I mean,
we can start a podcast this time off embracing failure.
But some of the early drafts of like some classic
movies like Star Wars or like Batman or Spider Man,
like some of the early attempts to Back to the
Future was like stupid as fuck. In some of the
(50:35):
early drafts um more stupid than hey, Chuck, it's your cousin, Marvin,
Marvin Barvan Barry. That sounds you're looking for. Whenever I
feel really bad about myself, I read the California Cation
pilot script and everything feels better in a really enjoyable way,
surely enjoyable way. Wait, in a way that you're like,
(50:56):
it's so bad, it's good. Yeah, it comes back around
on it. So, wow, he has sex with that sixteen
year old and she punches him in the face. Yeah,
you should not read it. It's good. Does he have
a sex with a sixteen year old in the show? Yeah,
but she doesn't know, he doesn't know that she's sixteen. Yeah,
so it's okay, it's fine. That show in my memory,
I was just like, oh wow, that show was super
(51:18):
fucked up. But I haven't really thought about it in
a long time. That was another show on Showtime. I
didn't see it because in the show Time I watched
it in like later, like once it was on or whatever.
You Yeah, I only saw it like maybe three years ago. Guys,
let's talk about the most important story that we have
covered in our time doing the dailies. I guess there
(51:42):
is a new flavor of sweet sweet lightning it sounds
like I can already tell just by the look that
kind of Okay, so first we have to discuss I
think Baja Blast came out like fifteen years ago. Yes, okay,
so there's been a yeah and now we have something new,
(52:04):
you know, but there are different iterations about blast. Yes,
oh yeah, second, Oh, I know, that's all I know.
I know there's like a red one and liked, and
then maybe a dark blue one, a medium blue. There's
(52:26):
a yellowish one that they have a taco bell that
I don't I usually get. I just did the regular. Yeah,
you know, that's the one time I don't know why
I'm going to Taco Bell. I got to drink because
I'm trying to just fully destroy my insights. Since I
went miniature golfing at a place with that blue water,
I've always wanted to drink something that looked like that. Yeah.
(52:49):
Do people still have those blue toilet water cakes in there?
I felt like that was a very nineties eighties thing. Yeah, oh,
you have one to sup our toilet actually have them?
Uh after the cleaners come sometimes No, but that's them
putting in like there's like a cleaner versus like the thing.
Ever that blue water comes out the whole time, and
(53:11):
then I always remember being like, why is this necessary?
Because my pup was just turning green? Wait? Sorry, real
quick question. That's how you can tell if you're drinking
enough water, yeah, or just in regular just be like
how darker I'm going for? Clear? Right? I'm like, what
what shade will I get? Is four screen? So we're
at the fifteen year anniversary of Baha Blast on the
(53:31):
twenty five year anniversary of the O. J. Simpson Murders,
honoring the lives of Alright, sorry fuck me, let finish
so July one, they're billing it as quote the first
(53:53):
exclusive beverage to be or offered at KFC. Now here's
the deal because it's young brands, young breezies. This is
meaning that they are going to basically, this is something
that they've designed to work with the cheek Colm at KFC. Okay,
so um as they go on the whole um. The
whole goal with Sweet Lightning was to quote create the
(54:15):
perfect pairing for KFC's original recipe, fried chicken. The result
is a golden hute soda with a punch of peach
and a touch of honey flavors. Ostensibly a crisp and
sweet counterpoint too deep friedback, and I'll see that is
some rookie ship because if you're trying to match KFC,
you don't tell people what's in your ingredients. You don't
tell them like what the flavor profile is, right, because
(54:37):
doesn't CAFC like all about secrecy. I mean it's MSG right, right, Yeah,
isn't that they don't mention it? Yeah? All right? Look,
I love um Mountain Dew. I mean not as much
as you, but like in the context of a young
brand's restaurant, shout out to sweet Lightning and making us
all of our teeth rot. It's against God what Mountain
(55:00):
doing generally? Yeah? Oh wow, Yeah, don't go on. Like
what do you drink when you go to South Carolina?
I try to do water? Do you drink drink? I
try to do. I'm actually I drink a lot of
coffee and not so much water. But I used to
work at I used to work at a bakery, like
when I was in high school, and how we clean
the ovens as we would pour moutain do on them
and run them on and it was so acidic that
(55:21):
it would it would like clean chemically clean the bottom
of the oven, like get everything up out of it. Wait,
so in the oven, like at the base of it,
you just put a little pool of mountain deer the oven. Yeah,
and it would we would run self clean on the
oven so like and it would it was like brand new. Yeah,
it would like wipe out. Can you do that on
(55:42):
a flat top grill too? I mean that's probably yeah,
that's what it's doing to the inside your stomach. Also
great because my poops look like it's just like thank
you mountain dew. Yeah, a bunch of weirds. Yeah, very
smooth on the inside, very smooth, brand new on the inside. Doc,
I would say if I got a conoscopy. Ellerie, it

I'm going to jail, but if you if you want
to write me like, I'll use that filter on Snapchat
(57:28):
for all future cos. Damn, he's probably getting I'm sure
there are a lot of people who are sending him

for his commissary either. Don't put the money in his
commissary please, he has money I'm just thinking purely, like
