of operation and they were talking about macerated berries again
to create that juicy, delicious, sweet feeling that was just
a culinary phrase, brought it shot a housey on salad
for that combination of things. I saw that, I understood it.
(05:35):
Thank you, macerate your berries whenever possible. I thought that
that was a disgusting term. I did not know what
it meant, and I skipped right past it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what is that? Just like putting sugar on it and
then like warming it up, or you just just honestly
sugar put a little sprinkle, little sugar, a little sugar

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Jack Miles doesn't feel like it's been a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I know it has technically, but just.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know the three long years it's been, and
we were just saying it doesn't. I don't even know
what a year means anymore, I.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Know, why does Is this a collective experience or is
this just something that happens with age?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
The perception of time just feels like just a second, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
A I don't know. That's I wonder. I mean that
it affects all of us, but I don't even know
how to even talk about this in a smart way.
I don't know. Everybody I talk to is like, dang,
time goes by real quick. Huh the days are long?
Or yeah, the days are long, the years are short.
The podcasts are infinite, Like I feel, yeah, like podcast
(07:18):
time is because it's so much of being on in
the same format, Like it's just every episode is like
a drop in the infinite time loop of the daily zeitgeist.
For me, I don't I can hardly differentiate one episode
to the next. I'm like, yeah, as we were talking
about the other day, and it's like you mentioned that
(07:39):
in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, it's like in a little pocket Universe of Zone.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah exactly, it's like Severance. Wow, but what do you
like doing the show? Yeah? Man, No, Severence is good.
They actually like their jobs. Okay, oh okay, soocho uh
fizz A. Wonderful to have you back. We're gonna get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're
(08:07):
talking about. We're gonna talk about the experience of owning
a cyber truck. This has been a question that I've had.
What's it like for those people, I mean cyber truck
in particular, they should have known better when they when
they bought them, Like at that point he was well
on his way to the open Nazi salutes, et cetera.
(08:29):
But yeah, just like, what's that like to be associated
with Elon Musk these days? We'll check in with them.
We'll check in with The La Times. Obviously, there's the
famous billionaire owned paper of Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post.
But we got our own. Don't forget about us over
here in La The La Times has a billionaire owner
(08:53):
who's got some interesting ideas about how to keep things
fair and balanced. So we'll talk about that, We'll talk
about how Trump is saving neoliberalism in Canada inadvertently, all
of that plenty more. But first, physic we do like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search
(09:14):
history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I mean, I'll just give you the last thing that
I googled how many miles is going around the Earth?
And I was about to Yeah, I was about to
do an audition where I played a lab technician for
an auto manufacturer, and I don't know what that looks like.
So I just was thinking of facts that I could
just maybe spit out to seem like you know what
(09:37):
I'm talking about, Uh huh. In case you're curious, it's
Earth's circumference is twenty four nine hundred and one miles.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
So if you are you going to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Use that, just give me a little flavor how you're
going to drop that little fact in the audition.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Okay, So I was looking. I was sort of in
my mind's eye seeing a lab where a car was
being tested in the lap. So it's not physically driving
around right, driving on those.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Little wheel roller thing. Yeah, so a lot of treadmills.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I was really slick about it. I was kind of
cool about it. I was like, I was like, huh,
look at my little notepad. You've gone around the earth,
or I said.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I said the number.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
It was like, uh, twenty four thousand and nine whatever
times ten, so it was like four hundred.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I can't do it. Forty miles.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, you've been around the world ten times, the.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
World ten times. Yeah, And then like a producer is like,
hold on one second, I think that's that's a circumference.
That's the actual circumference of the earth. Okay, oh yeah,
back out the math check now. We found her. We
found her. We found her. That's cool. That is a
fun fact. That's also like the sort of thing I'm
always looking up as a as a father, you know, right,
(10:50):
like kids have curious questions like that. So yeah, okay,
do you still remember how many feet in a mile? Jack?
It's either fifty to eighty. Yeah. Yeah. I always am
between twenty five hundred and eighty or fifty five two
hundred and eighty and never get it right. Hey, the
(11:10):
numbers are there though, the number I have the numbers,
they are in the wrong order everything, But that's all good,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
But you know what, They're in the cloud, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Right there there.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
If I don't know a fact, I'm like, it's in
the cloud. Let me just you know, google it bumpers down.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You know everything in it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What is something physically you think is underrated? Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Man, robes? I'm actually wearing one right now.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm gonna say I I caught that high pile fleece
robe with the leftoard print. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I mean, I think people think of it as homewhere,
but I would love to bring robes out into the
world to formal events. Even they're I think they're stylish,
They're they're flattering, they cinch at the waist, which it
gives you a silhouette, keeps you warm.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I opted for a robe instead of a jacket today.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean historically, like like, aren't robes like the pop
in like the most popping ship you could wear, really,
you know what I mean? And then we just kind
of made them bathrobes. I feel like if somebody pulled
up like like an emperor, Yeah yeah, bring back to
fucking emperor robes. Now. This is this is how we
embrace the class war, is that we wear our bathrobes
(12:21):
out to show people like we are. We are the
you know, the nobility of you need something, you know,
like they're there are umbrellas in Hong Kong there, you know,
everybody like has their They had a bit of a
function too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are those are functional,
I think, But like bathrobes are functional in that they're
(12:43):
so fucking comfy. Yeah, so comfy. Who's gonna get I mean,
I feel like a billionaire that's their nightmare to I
would never wear a bathrobe in public. That's how would
they know I'm a billionaire.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And what I mean, I don't give a fuck. I'm
gonna be comfortable. This is my bathrobe. I've got multiple robes.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm not gonna front. There is the concept of pajama
rich that where you get so rich that you just
start wearing your pajamas out into public. Also, I feel
like wearing a pajama set is a flex Like I've
I like in one of these sort of like fire
relief clothing boxes I got. There are like many things
like were like nice pajama sets that were donated and
(13:22):
I'm like, I've never worn a pajama set in my life,
and part of me felt like I was the was
like class betrayal to like put on this like Brooks
Brothers pajama set, someone that donated. I'm like, I can't.
I can't wear this shit. I need to wear basketball
shorts and no shirt. Okay. So pajama rich comes I
think from a Bill Simmons The Sports Guy column where
(13:43):
he was talking about Jack Nicholson coming to a Lakers
game in his pajamas and nobody cared because he's pajama rich.
And Hugh Hefner also famously, I think the one person
who has pulled it off. It just needs to be
a fancy enough road, right Like Hugh Hefner's robes were
like silk and ship. You know it was a smoking
(14:04):
jacket that went down to the floor. Whereas you know
it just can't look past all the allegations when he
wears I'm just chilling. The thing about me is I'm
a chill How often you wear that robe? Is it? Like?
I know you say you like it, but are we?
Are we for real? Do you step in?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I wear a robe on a daily basis.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I'm known in my neighborhood as I have two big
huskies that I walked around the world. So this is
this is one rope I have. I have one in
black with a fuzzy, fuzzy neck collar. I have one
that says doctor desani, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You have one that's like actual, like a doctor's lab
coat or a bathrobe that just that is giving white
coat scientists, doctor vibes.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I do have a white coat as well, just for yeah,
and to trick people into letting you get them shots.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That is the cool thing about being Asian. We can
lie about being a doctor anywhere. Yeah you know, doctor,
They're just not me.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah. Oh yeah, I'll pull up. I'll pull up in
a hoodie and just say I'm a doctor and people like,
oh thank you. I'm like yeah, and I'm in I'm
in dermatology. That's what my skin looks like this. Can
you pick out the way now?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Shirtless and shoeless, I'm a dermatologist, a p dietrist.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Do it all. That's right. Do you think you've walked
your dogs twenty four nine and one miles? Oh absolutely, yeah,
you've done a full lap.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, I do about I do about like five miles
a day.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Let me do that back.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's twenty four thousand whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Divide yeah, yeah, no, it checks out. Wait, you do
five miles of dog walking a day total?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, damn that doesn't fucking I have a small dog
this day and he hates walking. He's let's take a ship.
I gotta go back inside.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm not. He's like small, you know what I mean.
So there's like different levels of exercise that they need.
But damn, that's a fucking that's a good walk you
could take. Listen to a lot of shit on that one,
all right. And what fizza is something that you think
is overrated?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Apple air pods or any sort of earbuds that just
stick inside your ear and don't have something that attaches
to your ear. This is more of a personal thing.
I just hate the way it feels. Yeah, and they
fall out, and I just you know, when you're on
an airplane, you're you feel like like your ear is
stuff up. I don't know, I feel like it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Feels like how do you feel? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I feel oh like just from the pressure seal like around.
It just feels a little bit. Yeah, okay, I get that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And the noise cancelation on those does freak me out
a little bit. Where you put it in and it's
just like zoom. You feel like you're just like inside
a balloon all of a sudden, What the fuck is
going on here? Yeah? I love that, Like equal my
equilibrium gets a little fucked.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Up, falling because I have no balance, went like.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Ies crossing, You're like, bro, they put it like during
the testing of the AirPods, they put it in and
people just start falling over the early ones. Good yeah,
oh god, get it up. Have you seen that? I
actually really like that sensation. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I think I was, like, I'm one of those kids
who like tried to hide in the tiniest boxes, Like
I'm the opposite of claustrophobic.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I like to claustrophilic. I guess that's why they're drawn
to each other miles. Yeah, and why we just hold
each other so tight. Wheah you see each other.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Maybe you guys can share a coffin in the afterlife.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, that's right. It wouldn't be tight enough. How are
we face or uh penis to button or six classic
that's like Lincoln lugs exactly, or they don't fit or
they don't fit right. But yeah, like have you seen
(18:01):
those clips of like those rooms that are truly like
sound vacuums, like they're designed for no sound waves to
like move in them. Yeah, though they're like total back.
I think they have to be like have the air
sucked out of them, like yeah, yeah yeah, And they
say that is so disorienting, and part of me is like, bro,
I want to know that. I want to know the
extreme of most humans in sensations.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So if y'all work in one of those research facilities
and you can, if you're down to have a four
year old just come through to fuck around in there
for like five minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Through, let me know. Yeah. I think those cost like
millions of dollars to create, Like they create them for
like to to build like the James web Space Telescope
and like shit like that where they can't have any
germs or like imperfections touching a thing. They'll like create
a whole room that's a vacuum, so that like the
germs is like fall right to the ground or whatever.
(18:50):
But you're like, hey, could I just like kind of
drunk drive through there? Yeah? I can? I play some
SoundCloud off my cell phone in here? Well tell me
your doctor, yeah exactly exactly. They're like, are those official
doctors sandals you're wearing? Yeah? The doctors. Doctors wear some
fucked up shoes because they need comfort. You know, they're
(19:13):
on their feet all day. So you're good there. Yeah,
that's true. The white robe is like approximating it, but
it's clearly a bathrobe. And doctor Miles is written in sharp.
That's the one thing that's fucking it up. I spell
Miles with like white tape, all crudely, just on that.
And you have loose cigarettes coming out of your podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And I'm wearing I'm wearing a commemorative Scrubs Rewatch podcast
t shirt. I'd be like, dude, I'm a doctor. Why
would I be wearing this because my favorite podcast. Yeah,
went to medical school. Yeah, watching Scrubs one and a
half times all the way through. All right, let's uh,
let's take a quick break, should we Should we do that?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Should we take a little break? Do we come back
and talk about some news? Yes, let's do it. I'll
be right back and we're back. And I've been waiting
(20:15):
for the backlash, and I mean it's coming. Like Tesla
stock is way down right like that, it's going down
and doing badly, not readily as I think it deserves,
but it's been badly. It's definitely on its way down.
There's definitely a lot of debate over if it's actual
people boycotting the brand, if it's just generally it's on
a downward slope because Tesla's have become less of desirable
(20:38):
in the EV market, but because like there are some
that are claiming they're like, yes, yes, folks, this is
what we did to Elon Musk and know people like,
it's hard to exactly say if it's just because the
Trump shitter, just because the guys sucks overall and people
fucking hate him. It's hard to tell, but it is,
it's not doing great, but also it's yeah, it's volid.
(20:59):
It's always been volatile. It was at its peak like
after he after the election, like right after I think
Inauguration day, right before I guess like December was its
peak of all time, and since then it has fallen sharply,
but probably, you know, hard to differentiate as of yet.
(21:20):
I do just feel like it's got to be so
much less cool to own a Tesla now than it
ever has been in the history of that car or
any maybe Volkswagen during World War Two. But it's not
not that people didn't put it together. I don't think
they were super popular anyway. It's Hitler's what's wait, what's
(21:42):
that car he's in right now? I think that. Well,
I don't know about driving around LA. I see people
going hard as cyber trucks.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I admittedly have also gone hard as a cyber truck owner. Yeah,
I didn't do middle fingers, yeah, because my dad taught
me better. But the thing I do is I'll give
a thumbs down like this, just straight up, straight up.
I think this is I think a thumbs down like
just seeing like, you know, the ship where like you're
in sort of bumper to bumper traffic and you're facing
(22:11):
the opposite lane of traffic, so like I could look
dead into the driver's eye. I'll just do some ship
like I'm fucking what's the hero? I'll be like this no,
And some people are like fuck you and really get masked.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Some people get it reaction because part of me just
feels like it's the most childish way to say fuck
you is just yes, wow, thumbs down.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
But back in the day and what is the Roman
Times or Greek Times at the Amphitheater.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, that was like life or dead.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So and these motherfuckers do be thinking about ancient Rome,
so maybe they are taking to be something. Damn, he
just threatened our life. Yeah, so you have to be
like no, but in a Ciscle and Ebert way.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
But you know what, some of them deserve that because
I almost me and my dogs were walking. We almost
got hit by a cyber truck that that ran a
stop signed. So that guy gets a thumb.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Down, you know, yeah, I would agree with that, but
I mean for something like that that's a little more existential.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think you can go harder than a thumbs down
to each their own. You don't have to engage all
these people. But yes, the brand is not strong in
this city, and it's to the point where people have
to put like help me bumper stickers on their tesla's
where they're like, hey, this was before the guy came
out as a fascist dick bag. Is when I buy
this further record, I didn't buy it because but I
think that's why cyber truck owners get the stick because
(23:26):
this shit has been for purchase in the New Boy
era musk and there's real no plausible deniability around whether
or not you like who's your politics, It did or
didn't affect your purchase yeah, either way, a.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Cyber truck let me merge and I just had cognitive dissonance.
It was very difficult for me.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, you just slammed the brakes and break checked it
to get over and it's like, fucking I had to
do something. But in so, they've been in the news
this week. First of all, Tesla's been in the news.
Somebody lit I think the first Tesla not factory, but
the first Tesla like showroom in France on fire and
(24:06):
burnt it to the ground. Oh yeah, you know how
France do. But there's just been a smattering of stories
that suggest that owning a cyber truck means being subjected
to never end, to a never ending gauntlet of embarrassment
and shame. So there was Marty Grass Parade in New
Orleans and a cyber truck rolled up and it was
(24:27):
like all black but then had like flashing lights and
kind of looked a little like the car from Night
Rider was had some interesting stuff like I think in
a yeah, it looked a little like kit but like
also the lights were flashing on the top, so it
could look like a cop car a little bit. But
the second that rolled up, cops cyber trucks. Are they
(24:51):
really Yeah yeah, wow, Yeah. The second that ship rolled up,
it was just mercilessly booed un from the time it
was in sight of the people on the side of
the road. Some people on Reddit were also claiming that
the car was pelted with beads aggressively until a window broke.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh this windows suck.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, those windows that are supposed to be indestructible. Those
accounts are unconfirmed and yet very funny. Wait, okay, so
this is wow. This thing looks annoying as fun Wow. Okay,
well yeah, that's I don't know what that person thought
the reaction was gonna be. Yeah, dude, my ass car.
(25:39):
Everyone's gonna fucking They probably like lived their life on
I guess my thought heading into this was like, oh,
they probably lived their life on like cyber truck enthusiast forums.
But as we'll get to even those are not safe.
Those are just people sharing horror stories of what it's
like to drive around in a cyber truck. There's a
report on four or four media about a Facebook group
(26:01):
for cyber truck owners in which they commiserate about the
shared hell of driving around in a cyber truck. Apparently
people are constantly leaving notes containing messages like Nazi car
and what's Elon's cum taste like, which is another way
of giving the thumbs down a little bit more explicit.
(26:23):
That must be so shattering to some cyber truck owner's
soul to be like, but this is the stuff I
should post on four chan coming back at me.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Elon must come is delicious.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's really good. It's actually better than So that's some
famous misconception, is that it wouldn't be good, but it's
actually good. So you're actually the one who looks stupid
right now, hired taste. Yeah yeah. People also kick the
cars throw quote slices of cheese at them for some reason.
(26:58):
No word on whether the cheese has shattered any windows. Yeah,
well probably. I think this is the thing that I
also see too, is the amount of people who cope
with their cyber truck and they're like, dude, it's just
like such a fucking truck. Dude is so sick, Like
it just does all this truck stuff because it's like
man truck and I'm truck man with it. And there's
also so many videos of it absolutely failing to do
(27:21):
the most basic things like drive in just a little
bit of snow or all this other stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And it's interesting to see how, like obviously with Elon
Musk ascending to like the heights of government and sort
of being like the winner at the moment in terms
of like the socio political environment, that that hasn't really
changed anything about traditional mask like American male masculinity. Like
a truck is still like a Ford or a Dodge
(27:46):
or a Chevy, you know what I mean, not this
fucking weird like drawing of like from a fucking you know,
octagonal like video game rendering car. And I don't know, Like,
it's interesting to see how there's still that group of
people who are like.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well, now younes on top. Behold, I'm one of these
cyber truck guys. Now you'll celebrate me. Right, Wait, what's
his com taste? Like? Hold on, but I thought we're winning.
First of all, probably delicious. Second of all, how would
I know? Okay, yeah, yeah, but there's so these cyber
truck groups. Facebook groups are you know, first of all
(28:21):
entertaining because you get to see the collection of all
all the people flinging them off. But it also reveals
something scary, which is that cyber trucks are outfitted with
so many cameras that they can catch like every they're like, look,
this person's rolling their eyes as they drive by in
the opposite lane on the four or five right right,
(28:42):
like they have just like super obsess over it. They're
insecurities played by plate. Oh my god, this fucking guy
gave me three thumbs downs those recording in century mode.
That's what they call it, century mode Jesus.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, well, I've also seen people post like how the
camera rays work, and they're like being like, it's there
aren't that many blind spots.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
But hey, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if
anyone is a tesla mechanic and you can tell us
how to completely render those cameras useless, maybe by simply
turning it on because it's a tesla. But I'm curious
to know these kinds of tips and tricks. Yeah, they're
they're also trying to identify the people who like who
(29:26):
are flipping them off for giving them thumbs down. Miles,
you should you should go on these forums to make
sure very very free speech, very free speech absolutist, I know, right, Yeah,
we're all about free speech and uh you know, making
comedy legal. I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking sue that twelve
year old that rolled their eyes at me. Oh Jesus Christ,
(29:49):
God bless you. We tell you about that time when
I first learned the flip off motion like this one,
you know, the the arm the yeah, the full four.
My friend and I when we were like five, learned
that and then we just went in my backyard to
the street that went behind my house and just flipped
off everything that like just full, full, whole body flip off.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What does that imply?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Elbow deep Like that's way worse than a finger, like,
you know, I don't know, I'm just going off.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
The you know, makes does make more sense, like because
you're stopping at a certain point, but it's like, so universe,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Stick my fist up yours. You're giving them, Yeah, yeah,
up to the bicep. Anything more would be would be
would be a little I believe, yeah, or I would
be charged with murder.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
So let's be real. Anyways, I got in trouble, Oh
you did. Somebody pulled over and little assholes. It was
like wheeling West Virginia. It wasn't like a big pound
so I probably like flipped off my three neighbors. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and they're like, this is O'Brien, your son is out
back giving everybody the full body a little burst your asshole.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You're young enough you could just say, I, you know,
you could the plausible deniability of I don't know what
it means.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I think that's what I went with, even though like
the whole point was that I had just learned what
it meant. I don't think my mom meant believed me.
I still remember lies I told at this period of
my life, and damn, well, don't put it on wax
is gonna come back to haunt you. Your mom's I
knew it. I fucking knew it. You're it. Yeah, Jack
knew the whole time. Honey, get in here. You don't
(31:40):
believe I just heard on his podcast one guy on
Facebook is claiming that his roofing business lost seventy grand
in business that purely because of his cyber truck. Yeah
because well, I mean I guess he like incorporates cyber
trucks into his business. Oh you know those are the
trucks that they use on business. And somebody was like, yeah,
(32:04):
I was gonna give them our work, and then we
canceled the contract because this guy, Yeah, they.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Don't want their property with cyber trucks all over them. Promise,
not a good look. So this guy just invested in
the wrong course.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, I went. I think in some yeah, some parts,
they're like they like Elon Musk because of the edge
words ship, and then they're shocked when people are associating
that with them because they bought the edge Lord car
and like they're they're like me in the backyard being
like doing the thing that's edge Lord and then being like, well,
I didn't know what it meant, right, They're just stuck.
(32:37):
They're just stuck into like here comes a car.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
And then when someone when someone goes, excuse me, I
think your kids like flicking people?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
What the fuck?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
What I thought it was?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
How are you doing? I thought it meant GGI loser
shit loser shiit me and cyber truck owners that's what
we haven't Yeah, I'll find out. I did like this one.
Another cyber truck owner on the Facebook group pointed out
that actually all this hate is a good thing for
(33:09):
Tesla because Elon Musk is a genius and quote the
massive online negativity is actually fueling more curiosity and exposure.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yes, yes, similar, like when you post crimes on the
internet and then there's a lot of uh, you know,
curiosity from the police investigating it. Yeah, it's like great, dude,
it's like so bad they write about us in.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
A very mocking tone. Oh yeah, well look well we
all cope in our own ways, so sort of like the.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
All publicity is good publicity. But right, I mean, the
real question I think is is are sales up?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
No hours ago? In the New York Times, Tesla sales
slump in Europe as anger toward Elon Musk grows performing
markets as global Slit sales plumb. It Yeah, so not
popular than you, I mean in Europe. In the US
might still be hanging on because of because they people
(34:10):
want to prove that they're not part of the wolkline virus. Yeah.
Here's I think this is a good sign. Tesla brings
back zero percent loans to boost am hand in the US. Wow,
zero percent loans. Damn bro, this fucking environment. I'm yeah,
that'll wow. I love a zero percent love.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
But not for give it Tesla away.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
You're gonna actually fucking need some good sales figures here,
Could we just give you these cars and like you
just pay us back whenever is good? They're like, yeah,
fucking taking the public library approached. You can just have
this like honestly, we yeah, no, it's yours, free and clear.
And then just like, do you think you could pay
(34:50):
us back at some point that would be cool? Yeah,
we don't want to bung you out. No worries if not,
no worries if not forgiveness. All right, we speaking of
from one billionaire to the next to this is our country.
We we've covered Jeff Bezos completely shipping all over the
Washington Post, But what about South African Los Angeles Times
(35:12):
billionaire owner Patrick Soon Shung? Yeah, who is doing something?
I mean, I don't know genius something this is. I
just want to give the backdrop because now, remember than
when the LA Times were like, we're not gonna endorse
Kamala and his daughter came out and said it had
(35:33):
to do with Gaza. Yeah yeah it was. Now I'm like,
he's actually too far left for you guys. He's the
most far left billionaire you've ever met. And now with
this is I'm like, far far left South African billionaire
out there, which means you're just you're not a Nazi,
You're more I guess a clan member. I guess it's
(35:54):
how that would work well, which makes sense because so
Patrick soon Shang is doing something even more howardly than
bezos to the op eds. He's touting a new AI
bot as a way to bring quote balance to opinion pieces.
So this is something he tweeted out with this new
feature that is going to go along with certain articles
to give people just a taste of like if there's
bias or just counterplat say quote.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Now the voice in perspective from all sides can be heard, seen,
and read.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No more echo chamber thanks to our talented content management
software team running this Graphene platform. So essentially, you read
an op ed, users can click to generate a summary
of the op ed, and then that AI summary can
provide fucking counterpoints to that to help someone understand that
the KKK was not bad. Well, that's what actually happened.
(36:45):
It was a cultural movement, miles. What else do you
need to know? Yes? What books are you scraping for
these answers? Ay? I?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
So columnist Gustavo Ariano, he put a road a piece
in the La Times about the City of Anaheim's deep
eyes to the Ku Klux Klan and that the city
council missed an opportunity to grapple with that sordid past
when they didn't acknowledge the one hundred year anniversary of
said city council ousting clan members. They're like, nope, can't
be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Sorry. But he's a pretty straightforward opinion piece. You know,
he's giving analysis on a historical fact and then adding
the pot we should maybe be proud of fighting against
like authoritarianism and institutional open racism at a time when
that is skyrocketing around the country, Like maybe maybe this
would have been a nice thing to remember that people
(37:34):
used to have courage and remember you can just do
this thing and just say, well, that's just like your opinion, man.
But is that what this is aid? No, the AI
added this tidbit that everyone's like, why is it caping
for the clan? Quote. Local historical accounts occasionally framed the
nineteen twenties Klan as a product of quote white Protestant
culture responding to societal changes, rather than an explicitly hate
(37:57):
driven movement, minimizing its ideological threat. So they were responding
to societal changes. Really, in many ways, they were following
the teachings of Jesus's that's what that was all about.
White product. First of all, a product of white Protestant
culture implies so much white supremacy that to suggests that
(38:22):
that's it's just this rewording of white supremacy.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, white responding to societal changes. So it's
a product of racists responding to demographic racial demographic shifts
around them and realizing that violence was the answer to
try and preserve their small worldview.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
But yeah, minimizing its ideological threat. I do like that.
I mean they basically described so some people use this
wording to minimize how scary it seems, but it's still
white supremacy. They just don't say that part. Yeah yeah,
of course, of course that's so AI. This is good stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Can I imagine someone just write an op ed about
this civil war, so this stupid fucking robot will be
like if this is a this is a disagreement about
economic priorities and nothing else to see. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
We'll move on.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
The feature, though, was taken down after I think someone
at the Times bothered to see what this fucking thing
was even saying to people, But many other journalists pointed
out very quickly, so they took it down and the
cool shit, but it's still up on other portions of
the La Times website. I think, you know, some people
are reporting it as like an l for the La Times.
But this is exactly what these billionaire pricks want. They
(39:36):
want to obscure facts. So as long as people come
away with a narrative that normalizes inequality, then we're good.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Then we're good. That's kind of even if it even
if it goes against maybe what I believe a certain point,
it's better to have people completely in disagreement over the
most basic things so they can't sort of coalesce around
the theme about maybe just wealth hoarding and who's to
blame for that.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
There's an agenda here, it's I mean, we're being told that, oh,
it's to provide a balance perspective, but you know what,
some things do we really need a balanced perspective over,
like to where you know, do we need to warm
up towards the KKK?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Is that necessary? But what's scary is some people might.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Say yeah, yeah, no, of course and I think for
people to say, like for I'm sure one of the
biggest impediments for these like rabid white supremacists, like people
like still give a fuck about each other. That's the
biggest problem. Like we're not just willing to all the
time throw people on the wastepile. I mean, we very
much are in certain respects, but.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I think being able to give people the logic to
like sort of attach themselves to these really hateful ideologies
without it like sort of in its face being like
this is hateful ideology. It's like, no, I'm a Nazi
because of societal changes I'm responding to right, And that's
why Nazism, I think gets a bad rap is kind
(40:59):
of like this sort of the way they want to
sort of normalize this kind of thing, because that's one
of the biggest things. It's just funny that Nazi is
such a bad like loaded word in American culture that
even Republicans say it to attack Democrats, like so you
know it is bad, Like you only say that because
you know it is bad. But okay, go on, go on,
(41:19):
yes it's bad, but we're not allowed to wave like
they did. Come on, I mean, yeah, yes, free speech
pre speech.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
We still got the thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
We have the thumbs down. They get to do nothing.
So if you're gonna give a thumbs down to me
and my sick car, I at least get to do
a Nazi salute, Okay, I would do if.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
How horrifying that would be if like a like a
if people just walk around Wall Street just giving every
dude in a suit of thumbs down, like like they
just pull up like in their way.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Just go. I mean, we take them to their core.
We talked yesterday about how ineffectual and scattered the Democratic
Party's response to Trump's speech was. If they had all
just showed up fucking and just given the silent dead
thumbs down, yeah, yeah the whole time. Yeah, it would
(42:13):
have been so stupid, Like I kind of would have
liked it would have been more unified than whatever the
fuck that ship was on Tuesday. Yeah, the PLA so sad.
We're like, maybe they can fight the fascist off with
the thumbs down kind of, and that's an improvement on
what we saw.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Oh, we got some elbows.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
The whole going down so hard. When I was doing
it as a five year old, I was like, fool
body ship was bruised and ship after Yeah, just dislocating
my shoulders. Given the frequency of you doing that, So
what did you give like one car like five? Yeah?
(42:57):
You gun fire semi automatic? U middle finger? What is
that gesture called? It's not the middle finger, it's the
up years, I guess would be what it's called up
yours with two thirds of my arms. I'm trying to see, like,
what is no? Seriously, let me put two thirds of
(43:18):
my arm up your ass.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
I mean that's one way to say.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
I love you, That's exactly, And that's what I tried
to explain to my mom and she's not having it. Mom,
What better way to express my love for our neighbors?
I suppose I spoke like a forty eight year old
guy from Brooklyn when I was five. Ma, come on, ma,
(43:43):
really all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're we're back.
(44:04):
Could see, Oh hey, what's going on up in Canada? Canada? Canada?
So just an unintended outcome of Donald Trump's five D
chess that is actually like half a dimension.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I feel like like one dimensions.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, but like five D chess implies he's playing chess
five moves in advance, and I think he is not
even thinking about the move he's making as he's making it.
I think it's less No, he's moving the chess pieces
on a board or they're like, bro, you can't do that.
Paun can't move like a queen. Bro, yeah, I can't watch.
(44:47):
It's like, bro, you you're gonna lose that, all right, final,
I'll do this. And he's like that's not a good movie. Oh,
we'll see, we'll see. And then he just puts a
handgun on the table and says, I can't. Oh yeah,
oh no, that's a toy. That's clearly a toy gun.
It's got the whole thing there, all right. So he
is basically and maybe there is an argument to be
(45:09):
made that this is a successful five D chest thing,
because the only thing that's going to keep fascism alive
is the continued survival of like neolib shit, you know, right,
So maybe maybe this is five I feel like this
is what he's just like knocking shit over and it
just keeps turning up like fucking aces for him. I'm
just mixing all my board all my table games here. Yeah,
(45:32):
but uh, so a few months ago, Trudeau announced he
was resigning. A new party leader would be chosen, with
an election happening at some point later this year. His
unpopularity was like unprecedented. People were just completely out on
his bullshit. Much very similar to Biden. It was just
he was incredibly unpopular. His policies like this sort of
(45:58):
neoliberal goal of being like, hey, we want to help you.
Here are some policies that help you, and then they
ultimately just are means for funneling wealth towards wealthy people
and corporations. People were like, fuck this, maybe we need
and so the stage was set for a massive liberal defeat,
(46:20):
much like we saw in the US. I know, the
margins weren't massive, but like when you take into account
like what should have happened given Trump what platform? Yeah,
it was really a massive defeat and complete fuck up
by the Democratic Party. So now though that Trump has
(46:40):
come into office and has threatened Canada with all in
every way basically I mean very implied implied military threats
of being like we're gonna you're gonna be our fifty
first state. But obviously the big one is the economic tariffs.
He has come back and been like that this guy's
inn asshole. You know. He like did a direct address
(47:03):
to Americans was like I'm sorry you're doing this to yourself,
and that has been incredibly popular in Canada. Everybody is like, uh, well,
I guess the election used to be about like domestic
Canadian policies, but now it's all about fending off threats
posed by the Trump administration. Their numbers has like shot.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
Up nothing like a common enemy.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Ye yeah, exactly, totally to bring the.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
People together, right yeah, I mean it's the best thing
that happened to Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It is wild when like I just you know, as
our elections are happening all like Canadian Z that game,
we're like, we're right behind you, We're right behind you,
We're about to go We're about to flop to the
right also, and then it's just like it's just wild
how the emergence of this shithead Trump immediately like what
the fuck like and it just sort of immediately has
(47:53):
people been like, right, hold on a second, this guy
is a fucking loser and dangerous and all the people
that are parroting that shit like in our country like
this is it cannot lead down? Ever is going on?
So The person who was like favored to take over
for Trudeau was the head of the Conservative Party, Pierre
Pollievit Pollievvy, Polly every poll Evry, Pierre poly Evry. I
(48:18):
don't know why he's Italian Pierre. He was, you know,
poised to coast to victory and now has completely had
to revamp his strategy because his you know, in the
run up to our election, like the thing he was
that was giving him strength was that he was being
repeatedly referred to as Canada's Trump. Yeah, and now that's
(48:41):
not good for him now that Trump has had a
chance to be really bad at his job in the
eyes of everyone, except for like the thirty percent of
Americans who voted for him, you know, they're like, whoa,
that that might be a very bad thing. It's it
is interesting though, too.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Everything Trump does has this weird effect also doing the
opposite thing if he wants like where he's like, well,
I abandoned Ukraine and now Europe's like, bro, we need
to fucking we need to cut these Americans out of
the conversation because they're gonna fucking destroy everything and like
fuck fuck all this so and has like a shit,
they're all getting each other's backs.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Now this is different, and now with Canada, Trudeau merely
just being like, this is some bullshit, guys, and it
was like, yeah, we're back, We're back, and Mike, look,
a word of warning to the Canadians, man, do not
let the presence of an aspiring fascist turn into a
(49:36):
neoliberal honeymoon. Okay, the Democratic Party should have taken the
biggest like a bigger l over what happened in twenty sixteen,
But the presence of Trump made everyone nostalgic for the
before times. They completely lost sight of like what what
was ailing society and what actually needed to be addressed.
So take the opportunity if you can. Now, I don't know,
(49:58):
I'm not gonna be but theoretically you could drive a
stake into the heart of right wing extremism and meet
people's needs. Okay, because if.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
You let the rot of inequality continue, the fungus that
is authoritarianism rule will have the perfect environment to replicate
and thrive in and you're just gonna end up being
the same place we are down the road. Like it's
not gonna be enough to be like, oh thank god
he's standing up to it. You now have to take
the opportunity to like just fucking learn from this. It's
(50:29):
because the Democrats did fuck all to address the needs
of the people at the expense of the donor class
that we're in this mess that we're in right now.
And also just ideologically, it's impossible for them to bite
the hand that feed, So we were fucked either way.
But Canada, you already got a leg up on America
in a few ways in terms of how you're treating
your people.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
So just I'm just it'll come back, though, if you know,
if not cares, shit will come right back.
Speaker 3 (50:57):
They are waiting for material conditions to be enough for
people to be like, yeah, fucking destroy everything that.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I wonder if we're gonna be able to if the
US is going to be able to get out of that,
because it is it does feel like the only thing
that can make the idea of sort of that corporatocracy.
But democrat look good is what Trump is doing, you know,
like he's doing the exact thing to make people be like,
(51:24):
I mean, I guess back to the other thing, and
Biden was fine, like yeah, I guess, No, it wasn't
and it's not now, And I think that's you know
if I like you think like the most cynical of
democratic strategies would be going to these billionaires be like, look, dude,
we need all y'all to like do token donations to
bring your cred back up and and make people feel
(51:46):
like you contribute to society. Just fucking just do these
token offerings to just fucking bring the temperature down a
little bit and say you're okay with that, and then
we can if you're okay with just a little bit
more taxes, we can just do some stuff that'll keep
them at bay before they all fucking turn off us.
That's but they can't even do that. They're just like,
(52:07):
but Trump's bad. So you're like, well that, okay. There
goes any opportunity to do anything, even the most cynical sense,
to try and keep the fucking powers that be in power,
because I mean, the road inevitably just ends this way, right,
So yeah, all these countries have the entire economically populist
(52:27):
lane to go down where you can create policies that
actually benefit people instead of corporations. And by the way,
corporations are people too, So Miles, when you said Joe
Biden didn't do things for people, you were meeting out
a big chunk of the population. Thank you. I will
refer to you your honor, no further answers, your honor.
(52:50):
But it's just so wild that like they are leaving
this huge lane that has like proven to be popular
in the past, with the Sanders campaign coming out of
nowhere in twenty sixteen, doing remarkably well in twenty eighteen.
But again, like to your point, I think people just
lost their nerve because they were like, well, we got
(53:11):
to beat him, and Sanders isn't gonna win, Like this
is not a time to be taking chances. This Trump
guy's pulling indicates that he could. Yeah, yeah, exactly, like
everybody's playing game.
Speaker 5 (53:22):
I mean, do you think that they, the Democrats, those
in power, he didn't want to bite the hand that
feeds them, actually would rather have Trump than Bernie.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
That's a great question. I mean probably, yeah, I think
they probably know that Trump is better for there. They
are so distinct from what, you know, what Bernie Sanders
and like, you know, the the idea of a progressive
politics that actually like is focused on helping people. That yeah,
(53:53):
I don't I don't think there's anything about Bernie Sanders
that appeals to me in stream Democrats, whereas with Trump
it gives them something to in theory, you know, fundrate.
I was gonna say, like, in theory, run against but
it's not even really running, it's just fundraising.
Speaker 4 (54:13):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (54:13):
I got so many fucking texts during that address, begging
texts from the Democrats, you know what I mean, Like
they're still they're so caught in their ways. They're like, yeah, fine, man,
we'll just like people be freaked out again and maybe
we can get more money. Although now I think they're
realizing people are so fucking disheartened by everything. Yeah, there's
the money ain't flown in like it used to. They're
(54:34):
willing to try anything except the uh Bernie Sanders thing
that would actually work, because that is Yeah. I mean,
it's just it's the thing that we saw with Biden
coming up against certain things and being like a what
can I do?
Speaker 7 (54:49):
Man?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I'm trying over here, and it's like, what's the unspoken thing?
You're not saying what what are you trying? And not
able to like, yes, there's Republicans in Congress, but it's
also what do you want me to do? Up end
this status quo? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And I think that's
it's the basic thing.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I mean, like, going forward, the only people who will
be worth listening to or voting for are people who
can just very simple premise. The status quo is violent,
and it's killing people, and it's every it's making everyone unhappy,
their meet their needs aren't being met, and we're so
far removed from like the even what people call like
the good old days when people could have like even
(55:27):
like my grandmother like was a fucking switchboard operator and shit,
and my grandfather drove a bus. Like they were able
to do shit and have a house even being black
like that, shit was kind of possible even then. We're
so far from that in the progressive tax policy that
we had then, we're just so if you're not if
you're not willing to come to the table and be like,
(55:47):
hey guys, everything that's been happening for the last few decades, we.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Have to reverse course on all of this. But that
is just far too extreme a mess, like perceived as
far to extreme a message from again the stakeholders of
our media and things like that, that it's just it's
but that's really what it is. Someone who's like we
just need to change a couple of things. No, we don't.
We need to change fucking so many things. And if
you're not really saying that with your whole chest, don't
(56:13):
waste people's time. Tweak the messaging. Tweak the messaging. Yeah,

Speaker 3 (02:02):
So that's from Big Boy's like growing up in La Radio,
working in La Radio.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That was what I think.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
When Big Boys say his name, everyone goes big Way
like in the background.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
That's just that's just basic. Morning Radio also had this
thing they said that was definitely unique to them. They said,
TG I F I think it was thank God it's Friday.

and this is a podcast where we take that Morning

Zoo energy and take a deep bab into America share consciousness.
It is Thursday, March six mm hmm. It's also National
Slam the scam Day Thursday.

to add to our phone book in respect.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's also National dress Day now, National White Chocolate Cheese
cake Day, National Oreo Cookie Day, National Frozen Food Day.

You get news, you get news coverage, and you enter
the conversation. Yeah, well got us cell phone. We got
nothing else, folks. Yeah, slam the scam day. I mean
(04:06):

now this isn't this is that was to the tune
of operation and they were talking about macerated berries again
to create that juicy, delicious, sweet feeling that was just
a culinary phrase, brought it shot a housey on salad
for that combination of things. I saw that, I understood it.
(05:35):
Thank you, macerate your berries whenever possible. I thought that
that was a disgusting term. I did not know what
it meant, and I skipped right past it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what is that? Just like putting sugar on it and

sugar put a little sprinkle, little sugar, a little sugar

Jack Miles doesn't feel like it's been a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I know it has technically, but just.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know the three long years it's been, and
we were just saying it doesn't. I don't even know
what a year means anymore, I.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Know, why does Is this a collective experience or is
this just something that happens with age?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
The perception of time just feels like just a second, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
A I don't know. That's I wonder. I mean that
it affects all of us, but I don't even know
how to even talk about this in a smart way.
I don't know. Everybody I talk to is like, dang,
time goes by real quick. Huh the days are long?
Or yeah, the days are long, the years are short.
The podcasts are infinite, Like I feel, yeah, like podcast
(07:18):
time is because it's so much of being on in
the same format, Like it's just every episode is like
a drop in the infinite time loop of the daily zeitgeist.
For me, I don't I can hardly differentiate one episode
to the next. I'm like, yeah, as we were talking
about the other day, and it's like you mentioned that
(07:39):
in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, it's like in a little pocket Universe of Zone.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah exactly, it's like Severance. Wow, but what do you
like doing the show? Yeah? Man, No, Severence is good.
They actually like their jobs. Okay, oh okay, soocho uh
fizz A. Wonderful to have you back. We're gonna get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're
(08:07):
talking about. We're gonna talk about the experience of owning
a cyber truck. This has been a question that I've had.
What's it like for those people, I mean cyber truck
in particular, they should have known better when they when
they bought them, Like at that point he was well
on his way to the open Nazi salutes, et cetera.
(08:29):
But yeah, just like, what's that like to be associated
with Elon Musk these days? We'll check in with them.
We'll check in with The La Times. Obviously, there's the
famous billionaire owned paper of Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post.
But we got our own. Don't forget about us over
here in La The La Times has a billionaire owner
(08:53):
who's got some interesting ideas about how to keep things
fair and balanced. So we'll talk about that, We'll talk
about how Trump is saving neoliberalism in Canada inadvertently, all
of that plenty more. But first, physic we do like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search
(09:14):
history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I mean, I'll just give you the last thing that
I googled how many miles is going around the Earth?
And I was about to Yeah, I was about to
do an audition where I played a lab technician for
an auto manufacturer, and I don't know what that looks like.
So I just was thinking of facts that I could
just maybe spit out to seem like you know what
(09:37):
I'm talking about, Uh huh. In case you're curious, it's
Earth's circumference is twenty four nine hundred and one miles.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
So if you are you going to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Use that, just give me a little flavor how you're
going to drop that little fact in the audition.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Okay, So I was looking. I was sort of in
my mind's eye seeing a lab where a car was
being tested in the lap. So it's not physically driving
around right, driving on those.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Little wheel roller thing. Yeah, so a lot of treadmills.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I was really slick about it. I was kind of
cool about it. I was like, I was like, huh,
look at my little notepad. You've gone around the earth,
or I said.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I said the number.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
It was like, uh, twenty four thousand and nine whatever
times ten, so it was like four hundred.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I can't do it. Forty miles.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, you've been around the world ten times, the.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
World ten times. Yeah, And then like a producer is like,
hold on one second, I think that's that's a circumference.
That's the actual circumference of the earth. Okay, oh yeah,
back out the math check now. We found her. We
found her. We found her. That's cool. That is a
fun fact. That's also like the sort of thing I'm
always looking up as a as a father, you know, right,
(10:50):
like kids have curious questions like that. So yeah, okay,
do you still remember how many feet in a mile? Jack?
It's either fifty to eighty. Yeah. Yeah. I always am
between twenty five hundred and eighty or fifty five two
hundred and eighty and never get it right. Hey, the
(11:10):
numbers are there though, the number I have the numbers,
they are in the wrong order everything, But that's all good,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
But you know what, They're in the cloud, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Right there there.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
If I don't know a fact, I'm like, it's in
the cloud. Let me just you know, google it bumpers down.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You know everything in it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What is something physically you think is underrated? Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Man, robes? I'm actually wearing one right now.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm gonna say I I caught that high pile fleece
robe with the leftoard print. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I mean, I think people think of it as homewhere,
but I would love to bring robes out into the
world to formal events. Even they're I think they're stylish,
They're they're flattering, they cinch at the waist, which it
gives you a silhouette, keeps you warm.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I opted for a robe instead of a jacket today.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean historically, like like, aren't robes like the pop
in like the most popping ship you could wear, really,
you know what I mean? And then we just kind
of made them bathrobes. I feel like if somebody pulled
up like like an emperor, Yeah yeah, bring back to
fucking emperor robes. Now. This is this is how we
embrace the class war, is that we wear our bathrobes
(12:21):
out to show people like we are. We are the
you know, the nobility of you need something, you know,
like they're there are umbrellas in Hong Kong there, you know,
everybody like has their They had a bit of a
function too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are those are functional,
I think, But like bathrobes are functional in that they're
(12:43):
so fucking comfy. Yeah, so comfy. Who's gonna get I mean,
I feel like a billionaire that's their nightmare to I
would never wear a bathrobe in public. That's how would
they know I'm a billionaire.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And what I mean, I don't give a fuck. I'm
gonna be comfortable. This is my bathrobe. I've got multiple robes.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm not gonna front. There is the concept of pajama
rich that where you get so rich that you just
start wearing your pajamas out into public. Also, I feel
like wearing a pajama set is a flex Like I've
I like in one of these sort of like fire
relief clothing boxes I got. There are like many things
like were like nice pajama sets that were donated and
(13:22):
I'm like, I've never worn a pajama set in my life,
and part of me felt like I was the was
like class betrayal to like put on this like Brooks
Brothers pajama set, someone that donated. I'm like, I can't.
I can't wear this shit. I need to wear basketball
shorts and no shirt. Okay. So pajama rich comes I
think from a Bill Simmons The Sports Guy column where
(13:43):
he was talking about Jack Nicholson coming to a Lakers
game in his pajamas and nobody cared because he's pajama rich.
And Hugh Hefner also famously, I think the one person
who has pulled it off. It just needs to be
a fancy enough road, right Like Hugh Hefner's robes were
like silk and ship. You know it was a smoking
(14:04):
jacket that went down to the floor. Whereas you know
it just can't look past all the allegations when he
wears I'm just chilling. The thing about me is I'm
a chill How often you wear that robe? Is it? Like?
I know you say you like it, but are we?
Are we for real? Do you step in?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I wear a robe on a daily basis.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I'm known in my neighborhood as I have two big
huskies that I walked around the world. So this is
this is one rope I have. I have one in
black with a fuzzy, fuzzy neck collar. I have one
that says doctor desani, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You have one that's like actual, like a doctor's lab
coat or a bathrobe that just that is giving white
coat scientists, doctor vibes.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I do have a white coat as well, just for yeah,
and to trick people into letting you get them shots.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That is the cool thing about being Asian. We can
lie about being a doctor anywhere. Yeah you know, doctor,
They're just not me.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah. Oh yeah, I'll pull up. I'll pull up in
a hoodie and just say I'm a doctor and people like,
oh thank you. I'm like yeah, and I'm in I'm
in dermatology. That's what my skin looks like this. Can
you pick out the way now?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Shirtless and shoeless, I'm a dermatologist, a p dietrist.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Do it all. That's right. Do you think you've walked
your dogs twenty four nine and one miles? Oh absolutely, yeah,
you've done a full lap.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, I do about I do about like five miles
a day.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Let me do that back.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's twenty four thousand whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Divide yeah, yeah, no, it checks out. Wait, you do
five miles of dog walking a day total?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, damn that doesn't fucking I have a small dog
this day and he hates walking. He's let's take a ship.
I gotta go back inside.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm not. He's like small, you know what I mean.
So there's like different levels of exercise that they need.
But damn, that's a fucking that's a good walk you
could take. Listen to a lot of shit on that one,
all right. And what fizza is something that you think
is overrated?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Apple air pods or any sort of earbuds that just
stick inside your ear and don't have something that attaches
to your ear. This is more of a personal thing.
I just hate the way it feels. Yeah, and they
fall out, and I just you know, when you're on
an airplane, you're you feel like like your ear is
stuff up. I don't know, I feel like it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Feels like how do you feel? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I feel oh like just from the pressure seal like around.
It just feels a little bit. Yeah, okay, I get that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And the noise cancelation on those does freak me out
a little bit. Where you put it in and it's
just like zoom. You feel like you're just like inside
a balloon all of a sudden, What the fuck is
going on here? Yeah? I love that, Like equal my
equilibrium gets a little fucked.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Up, falling because I have no balance, went like.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Ies crossing, You're like, bro, they put it like during
the testing of the AirPods, they put it in and
people just start falling over the early ones. Good yeah,
oh god, get it up. Have you seen that? I
actually really like that sensation. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I think I was, like, I'm one of those kids
who like tried to hide in the tiniest boxes, Like
I'm the opposite of claustrophobic.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I like to claustrophilic. I guess that's why they're drawn
to each other miles. Yeah, and why we just hold
each other so tight. Wheah you see each other.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Maybe you guys can share a coffin in the afterlife.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, that's right. It wouldn't be tight enough. How are
we face or uh penis to button or six classic
that's like Lincoln lugs exactly, or they don't fit or
they don't fit right. But yeah, like have you seen
(18:01):
those clips of like those rooms that are truly like
sound vacuums, like they're designed for no sound waves to
like move in them. Yeah, though they're like total back.
I think they have to be like have the air
sucked out of them, like yeah, yeah yeah, And they
say that is so disorienting, and part of me is like, bro,
I want to know that. I want to know the
extreme of most humans in sensations.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So if y'all work in one of those research facilities
and you can, if you're down to have a four
year old just come through to fuck around in there
for like five minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Through, let me know. Yeah. I think those cost like
millions of dollars to create, Like they create them for
like to to build like the James web Space Telescope
and like shit like that where they can't have any
germs or like imperfections touching a thing. They'll like create
a whole room that's a vacuum, so that like the
germs is like fall right to the ground or whatever.
(18:50):
But you're like, hey, could I just like kind of
drunk drive through there? Yeah? I can? I play some
SoundCloud off my cell phone in here? Well tell me
your doctor, yeah exactly exactly. They're like, are those official
doctors sandals you're wearing? Yeah? The doctors. Doctors wear some
fucked up shoes because they need comfort. You know, they're
(19:13):
on their feet all day. So you're good there. Yeah,
that's true. The white robe is like approximating it, but
it's clearly a bathrobe. And doctor Miles is written in sharp.
That's the one thing that's fucking it up. I spell
Miles with like white tape, all crudely, just on that.
And you have loose cigarettes coming out of your podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And I'm wearing I'm wearing a commemorative Scrubs Rewatch podcast
t shirt. I'd be like, dude, I'm a doctor. Why
would I be wearing this because my favorite podcast. Yeah,
went to medical school. Yeah, watching Scrubs one and a
half times all the way through. All right, let's uh,
let's take a quick break, should we Should we do that?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Should we take a little break? Do we come back
and talk about some news? Yes, let's do it. I'll
be right back and we're back. And I've been waiting
(20:15):
for the backlash, and I mean it's coming. Like Tesla
stock is way down right like that, it's going down
and doing badly, not readily as I think it deserves,
but it's been badly. It's definitely on its way down.
There's definitely a lot of debate over if it's actual
people boycotting the brand, if it's just generally it's on
a downward slope because Tesla's have become less of desirable
(20:38):
in the EV market, but because like there are some
that are claiming they're like, yes, yes, folks, this is
what we did to Elon Musk and know people like,
it's hard to exactly say if it's just because the
Trump shitter, just because the guys sucks overall and people
fucking hate him. It's hard to tell, but it is,
it's not doing great, but also it's yeah, it's volid.
(20:59):
It's always been volatile. It was at its peak like
after he after the election, like right after I think
Inauguration day, right before I guess like December was its
peak of all time, and since then it has fallen sharply,
but probably, you know, hard to differentiate as of yet.
(21:20):
I do just feel like it's got to be so
much less cool to own a Tesla now than it
ever has been in the history of that car or
any maybe Volkswagen during World War Two. But it's not
not that people didn't put it together. I don't think
they were super popular anyway. It's Hitler's what's wait, what's
(21:42):
that car he's in right now? I think that. Well,
I don't know about driving around LA. I see people
going hard as cyber trucks.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I admittedly have also gone hard as a cyber truck owner. Yeah,
I didn't do middle fingers, yeah, because my dad taught
me better. But the thing I do is I'll give
a thumbs down like this, just straight up, straight up.
I think this is I think a thumbs down like
just seeing like, you know, the ship where like you're
in sort of bumper to bumper traffic and you're facing
(22:11):
the opposite lane of traffic, so like I could look
dead into the driver's eye. I'll just do some ship
like I'm fucking what's the hero? I'll be like this no,
And some people are like fuck you and really get masked.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Some people get it reaction because part of me just
feels like it's the most childish way to say fuck
you is just yes, wow, thumbs down.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
But back in the day and what is the Roman
Times or Greek Times at the Amphitheater.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, that was like life or dead.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So and these motherfuckers do be thinking about ancient Rome,
so maybe they are taking to be something. Damn, he
just threatened our life. Yeah, so you have to be
like no, but in a Ciscle and Ebert way.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
But you know what, some of them deserve that because
I almost me and my dogs were walking. We almost
got hit by a cyber truck that that ran a
stop signed. So that guy gets a thumb.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Down, you know, yeah, I would agree with that, but
I mean for something like that that's a little more existential.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think you can go harder than a thumbs down
to each their own. You don't have to engage all
these people. But yes, the brand is not strong in
this city, and it's to the point where people have
to put like help me bumper stickers on their tesla's
where they're like, hey, this was before the guy came
out as a fascist dick bag. Is when I buy
this further record, I didn't buy it because but I
think that's why cyber truck owners get the stick because
(23:26):
this shit has been for purchase in the New Boy
era musk and there's real no plausible deniability around whether
or not you like who's your politics, It did or
didn't affect your purchase yeah, either way, a.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Cyber truck let me merge and I just had cognitive dissonance.
It was very difficult for me.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, you just slammed the brakes and break checked it
to get over and it's like, fucking I had to
do something. But in so, they've been in the news
this week. First of all, Tesla's been in the news.
Somebody lit I think the first Tesla not factory, but
the first Tesla like showroom in France on fire and
(24:06):
burnt it to the ground. Oh yeah, you know how
France do. But there's just been a smattering of stories
that suggest that owning a cyber truck means being subjected
to never end, to a never ending gauntlet of embarrassment
and shame. So there was Marty Grass Parade in New
Orleans and a cyber truck rolled up and it was
(24:27):
like all black but then had like flashing lights and
kind of looked a little like the car from Night
Rider was had some interesting stuff like I think in
a yeah, it looked a little like kit but like
also the lights were flashing on the top, so it
could look like a cop car a little bit. But
the second that rolled up, cops cyber trucks. Are they
(24:51):
really Yeah yeah, wow, Yeah. The second that ship rolled up,
it was just mercilessly booed un from the time it
was in sight of the people on the side of
the road. Some people on Reddit were also claiming that
the car was pelted with beads aggressively until a window broke.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh this windows suck.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, those windows that are supposed to be indestructible. Those
accounts are unconfirmed and yet very funny. Wait, okay, so
this is wow. This thing looks annoying as fun Wow. Okay,
well yeah, that's I don't know what that person thought
the reaction was gonna be. Yeah, dude, my ass car.
(25:39):
Everyone's gonna fucking They probably like lived their life on
I guess my thought heading into this was like, oh,
they probably lived their life on like cyber truck enthusiast forums.
But as we'll get to even those are not safe.
Those are just people sharing horror stories of what it's
like to drive around in a cyber truck. There's a
report on four or four media about a Facebook group
(26:01):
for cyber truck owners in which they commiserate about the
shared hell of driving around in a cyber truck. Apparently
people are constantly leaving notes containing messages like Nazi car
and what's Elon's cum taste like, which is another way
of giving the thumbs down a little bit more explicit.
(26:23):
That must be so shattering to some cyber truck owner's
soul to be like, but this is the stuff I
should post on four chan coming back at me.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Elon must come is delicious.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's really good. It's actually better than So that's some
famous misconception, is that it wouldn't be good, but it's
actually good. So you're actually the one who looks stupid
right now, hired taste. Yeah yeah. People also kick the
cars throw quote slices of cheese at them for some reason.
(26:58):
No word on whether the cheese has shattered any windows. Yeah,
well probably. I think this is the thing that I
also see too, is the amount of people who cope
with their cyber truck and they're like, dude, it's just
like such a fucking truck. Dude is so sick, Like
it just does all this truck stuff because it's like
man truck and I'm truck man with it. And there's
also so many videos of it absolutely failing to do
(27:21):
the most basic things like drive in just a little
bit of snow or all this other stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And it's interesting to see how, like obviously with Elon
Musk ascending to like the heights of government and sort
of being like the winner at the moment in terms
of like the socio political environment, that that hasn't really
changed anything about traditional mask like American male masculinity. Like
a truck is still like a Ford or a Dodge
(27:46):
or a Chevy, you know what I mean, not this
fucking weird like drawing of like from a fucking you know,
octagonal like video game rendering car. And I don't know, Like,
it's interesting to see how there's still that group of
people who are like.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well, now younes on top. Behold, I'm one of these
cyber truck guys. Now you'll celebrate me. Right, Wait, what's
his com taste? Like? Hold on, but I thought we're winning.
First of all, probably delicious. Second of all, how would
I know? Okay, yeah, yeah, but there's so these cyber
truck groups. Facebook groups are you know, first of all
(28:21):
entertaining because you get to see the collection of all
all the people flinging them off. But it also reveals
something scary, which is that cyber trucks are outfitted with
so many cameras that they can catch like every they're like, look,
this person's rolling their eyes as they drive by in
the opposite lane on the four or five right right,
(28:42):
like they have just like super obsess over it. They're
insecurities played by plate. Oh my god, this fucking guy
gave me three thumbs downs those recording in century mode.
That's what they call it, century mode Jesus.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, well, I've also seen people post like how the
camera rays work, and they're like being like, it's there
aren't that many blind spots.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
But hey, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if
anyone is a tesla mechanic and you can tell us
how to completely render those cameras useless, maybe by simply
turning it on because it's a tesla. But I'm curious
to know these kinds of tips and tricks. Yeah, they're
they're also trying to identify the people who like who
(29:26):
are flipping them off for giving them thumbs down. Miles,
you should you should go on these forums to make
sure very very free speech, very free speech absolutist, I know, right, Yeah,
we're all about free speech and uh you know, making
comedy legal. I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking sue that twelve
year old that rolled their eyes at me. Oh Jesus Christ,
(29:49):
God bless you. We tell you about that time when
I first learned the flip off motion like this one,
you know, the the arm the yeah, the full four.
My friend and I when we were like five, learned
that and then we just went in my backyard to
the street that went behind my house and just flipped
off everything that like just full, full, whole body flip off.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What does that imply?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Elbow deep Like that's way worse than a finger, like,
you know, I don't know, I'm just going off.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
The you know, makes does make more sense, like because
you're stopping at a certain point, but it's like, so universe,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Stick my fist up yours. You're giving them, Yeah, yeah,
up to the bicep. Anything more would be would be
would be a little I believe, yeah, or I would
be charged with murder.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
So let's be real. Anyways, I got in trouble, Oh
you did. Somebody pulled over and little assholes. It was
like wheeling West Virginia. It wasn't like a big pound
so I probably like flipped off my three neighbors. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and they're like, this is O'Brien, your son is out
back giving everybody the full body a little burst your asshole.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You're young enough you could just say, I, you know,
you could the plausible deniability of I don't know what
it means.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I think that's what I went with, even though like
the whole point was that I had just learned what
it meant. I don't think my mom meant believed me.
I still remember lies I told at this period of
my life, and damn, well, don't put it on wax
is gonna come back to haunt you. Your mom's I
knew it. I fucking knew it. You're it. Yeah, Jack
knew the whole time. Honey, get in here. You don't
(31:40):
believe I just heard on his podcast one guy on
Facebook is claiming that his roofing business lost seventy grand
in business that purely because of his cyber truck. Yeah
because well, I mean I guess he like incorporates cyber
trucks into his business. Oh you know those are the
trucks that they use on business. And somebody was like, yeah,
(32:04):
I was gonna give them our work, and then we
canceled the contract because this guy, Yeah, they.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Don't want their property with cyber trucks all over them. Promise,
not a good look. So this guy just invested in
the wrong course.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, I went. I think in some yeah, some parts,
they're like they like Elon Musk because of the edge
words ship, and then they're shocked when people are associating
that with them because they bought the edge Lord car
and like they're they're like me in the backyard being
like doing the thing that's edge Lord and then being like, well,
I didn't know what it meant, right, They're just stuck.
(32:37):
They're just stuck into like here comes a car.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
And then when someone when someone goes, excuse me, I
think your kids like flicking people?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
What the fuck?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
What I thought it was?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
How are you doing? I thought it meant GGI loser
shit loser shiit me and cyber truck owners that's what
we haven't Yeah, I'll find out. I did like this one.
Another cyber truck owner on the Facebook group pointed out
that actually all this hate is a good thing for
(33:09):
Tesla because Elon Musk is a genius and quote the
massive online negativity is actually fueling more curiosity and exposure.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yes, yes, similar, like when you post crimes on the
internet and then there's a lot of uh, you know,
curiosity from the police investigating it. Yeah, it's like great, dude,
it's like so bad they write about us in.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
A very mocking tone. Oh yeah, well look well we
all cope in our own ways, so sort of like the.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
All publicity is good publicity. But right, I mean, the
real question I think is is are sales up?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
No hours ago? In the New York Times, Tesla sales
slump in Europe as anger toward Elon Musk grows performing
markets as global Slit sales plumb. It Yeah, so not
popular than you, I mean in Europe. In the US
might still be hanging on because of because they people
(34:10):
want to prove that they're not part of the wolkline virus. Yeah.
Here's I think this is a good sign. Tesla brings
back zero percent loans to boost am hand in the US. Wow,
zero percent loans. Damn bro, this fucking environment. I'm yeah,
that'll wow. I love a zero percent love.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
But not for give it Tesla away.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
You're gonna actually fucking need some good sales figures here,
Could we just give you these cars and like you
just pay us back whenever is good? They're like, yeah,
fucking taking the public library approached. You can just have
this like honestly, we yeah, no, it's yours, free and clear.
And then just like, do you think you could pay
(34:50):
us back at some point that would be cool? Yeah,
we don't want to bung you out. No worries if not,
no worries if not forgiveness. All right, we speaking of
from one billionaire to the next to this is our country.
We we've covered Jeff Bezos completely shipping all over the
Washington Post, But what about South African Los Angeles Times
(35:12):
billionaire owner Patrick Soon Shung? Yeah, who is doing something?
I mean, I don't know genius something this is. I
just want to give the backdrop because now, remember than
when the LA Times were like, we're not gonna endorse
Kamala and his daughter came out and said it had
(35:33):
to do with Gaza. Yeah yeah it was. Now I'm like,
he's actually too far left for you guys. He's the
most far left billionaire you've ever met. And now with
this is I'm like, far far left South African billionaire
out there, which means you're just you're not a Nazi,
You're more I guess a clan member. I guess it's
(35:54):
how that would work well, which makes sense because so
Patrick soon Shang is doing something even more howardly than
bezos to the op eds. He's touting a new AI
bot as a way to bring quote balance to opinion pieces.
So this is something he tweeted out with this new
feature that is going to go along with certain articles
to give people just a taste of like if there's
bias or just counterplat say quote.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Now the voice in perspective from all sides can be heard, seen,
and read.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No more echo chamber thanks to our talented content management
software team running this Graphene platform. So essentially, you read
an op ed, users can click to generate a summary
of the op ed, and then that AI summary can
provide fucking counterpoints to that to help someone understand that
the KKK was not bad. Well, that's what actually happened.
(36:45):
It was a cultural movement, miles. What else do you
need to know? Yes? What books are you scraping for
these answers? Ay? I?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
So columnist Gustavo Ariano, he put a road a piece
in the La Times about the City of Anaheim's deep
eyes to the Ku Klux Klan and that the city
council missed an opportunity to grapple with that sordid past
when they didn't acknowledge the one hundred year anniversary of
said city council ousting clan members. They're like, nope, can't
be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Sorry. But he's a pretty straightforward opinion piece. You know,
he's giving analysis on a historical fact and then adding
the pot we should maybe be proud of fighting against
like authoritarianism and institutional open racism at a time when
that is skyrocketing around the country, Like maybe maybe this
would have been a nice thing to remember that people
(37:34):
used to have courage and remember you can just do
this thing and just say, well, that's just like your opinion, man.
But is that what this is aid? No, the AI
added this tidbit that everyone's like, why is it caping
for the clan? Quote. Local historical accounts occasionally framed the
nineteen twenties Klan as a product of quote white Protestant
culture responding to societal changes, rather than an explicitly hate
(37:57):
driven movement, minimizing its ideological threat. So they were responding
to societal changes. Really, in many ways, they were following
the teachings of Jesus's that's what that was all about.
White product. First of all, a product of white Protestant
culture implies so much white supremacy that to suggests that
(38:22):
that's it's just this rewording of white supremacy.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, white responding to societal changes. So it's
a product of racists responding to demographic racial demographic shifts
around them and realizing that violence was the answer to
try and preserve their small worldview.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
But yeah, minimizing its ideological threat. I do like that.
I mean they basically described so some people use this
wording to minimize how scary it seems, but it's still
white supremacy. They just don't say that part. Yeah yeah,
of course, of course that's so AI. This is good stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Can I imagine someone just write an op ed about
this civil war, so this stupid fucking robot will be
like if this is a this is a disagreement about
economic priorities and nothing else to see. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
We'll move on.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
The feature, though, was taken down after I think someone
at the Times bothered to see what this fucking thing
was even saying to people, But many other journalists pointed
out very quickly, so they took it down and the
cool shit, but it's still up on other portions of
the La Times website. I think, you know, some people
are reporting it as like an l for the La Times.
But this is exactly what these billionaire pricks want. They
(39:36):
want to obscure facts. So as long as people come
away with a narrative that normalizes inequality, then we're good.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Then we're good. That's kind of even if it even
if it goes against maybe what I believe a certain point,
it's better to have people completely in disagreement over the
most basic things so they can't sort of coalesce around
the theme about maybe just wealth hoarding and who's to
blame for that.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
There's an agenda here, it's I mean, we're being told that, oh,
it's to provide a balance perspective, but you know what,
some things do we really need a balanced perspective over,
like to where you know, do we need to warm
up towards the KKK?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Is that necessary? But what's scary is some people might.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Say yeah, yeah, no, of course and I think for
people to say, like for I'm sure one of the
biggest impediments for these like rabid white supremacists, like people
like still give a fuck about each other. That's the
biggest problem. Like we're not just willing to all the
time throw people on the wastepile. I mean, we very
much are in certain respects, but.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I think being able to give people the logic to
like sort of attach themselves to these really hateful ideologies
without it like sort of in its face being like
this is hateful ideology. It's like, no, I'm a Nazi
because of societal changes I'm responding to right, And that's
why Nazism, I think gets a bad rap is kind
(40:59):
of like this sort of the way they want to
sort of normalize this kind of thing, because that's one
of the biggest things. It's just funny that Nazi is
such a bad like loaded word in American culture that
even Republicans say it to attack Democrats, like so you
know it is bad, Like you only say that because
you know it is bad. But okay, go on, go on,
(41:19):
yes it's bad, but we're not allowed to wave like
they did. Come on, I mean, yeah, yes, free speech
pre speech.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
We still got the thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
We have the thumbs down. They get to do nothing.
So if you're gonna give a thumbs down to me
and my sick car, I at least get to do
a Nazi salute, Okay, I would do if.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
How horrifying that would be if like a like a
if people just walk around Wall Street just giving every
dude in a suit of thumbs down, like like they
just pull up like in their way.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Just go. I mean, we take them to their core.
We talked yesterday about how ineffectual and scattered the Democratic
Party's response to Trump's speech was. If they had all
just showed up fucking and just given the silent dead
thumbs down, yeah, yeah the whole time. Yeah, it would
(42:13):
have been so stupid, Like I kind of would have
liked it would have been more unified than whatever the
fuck that ship was on Tuesday. Yeah, the PLA so sad.
We're like, maybe they can fight the fascist off with
the thumbs down kind of, and that's an improvement on
what we saw.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Oh, we got some elbows.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
The whole going down so hard. When I was doing
it as a five year old, I was like, fool
body ship was bruised and ship after Yeah, just dislocating
my shoulders. Given the frequency of you doing that, So
what did you give like one car like five? Yeah?
(42:57):
You gun fire semi automatic? U middle finger? What is
that gesture called? It's not the middle finger, it's the
up years, I guess would be what it's called up
yours with two thirds of my arms. I'm trying to see, like,
what is no? Seriously, let me put two thirds of
(43:18):
my arm up your ass.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
I mean that's one way to say.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
I love you, That's exactly, And that's what I tried
to explain to my mom and she's not having it. Mom,
What better way to express my love for our neighbors?
I suppose I spoke like a forty eight year old
guy from Brooklyn when I was five. Ma, come on, ma,
(43:43):
really all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're we're back.
(44:04):
Could see, Oh hey, what's going on up in Canada? Canada? Canada?
So just an unintended outcome of Donald Trump's five D
chess that is actually like half a dimension.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I feel like like one dimensions.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, but like five D chess implies he's playing chess
five moves in advance, and I think he is not
even thinking about the move he's making as he's making it.
I think it's less No, he's moving the chess pieces
on a board or they're like, bro, you can't do that.
Paun can't move like a queen. Bro, yeah, I can't watch.
(44:47):
It's like, bro, you you're gonna lose that, all right, final,
I'll do this. And he's like that's not a good movie. Oh,
we'll see, we'll see. And then he just puts a
handgun on the table and says, I can't. Oh yeah,
oh no, that's a toy. That's clearly a toy gun.
It's got the whole thing there, all right. So he
is basically and maybe there is an argument to be
(45:09):
made that this is a successful five D chest thing,
because the only thing that's going to keep fascism alive
is the continued survival of like neolib shit, you know, right,
So maybe maybe this is five I feel like this
is what he's just like knocking shit over and it
just keeps turning up like fucking aces for him. I'm
just mixing all my board all my table games here. Yeah,
(45:32):
but uh, so a few months ago, Trudeau announced he
was resigning. A new party leader would be chosen, with
an election happening at some point later this year. His
unpopularity was like unprecedented. People were just completely out on
his bullshit. Much very similar to Biden. It was just
he was incredibly unpopular. His policies like this sort of
(45:58):
neoliberal goal of being like, hey, we want to help you.
Here are some policies that help you, and then they
ultimately just are means for funneling wealth towards wealthy people
and corporations. People were like, fuck this, maybe we need
and so the stage was set for a massive liberal defeat,
(46:20):
much like we saw in the US. I know, the
margins weren't massive, but like when you take into account
like what should have happened given Trump what platform? Yeah,
it was really a massive defeat and complete fuck up
by the Democratic Party. So now though that Trump has
(46:40):
come into office and has threatened Canada with all in
every way basically I mean very implied implied military threats
of being like we're gonna you're gonna be our fifty
first state. But obviously the big one is the economic tariffs.
He has come back and been like that this guy's
inn asshole. You know. He like did a direct address
(47:03):
to Americans was like I'm sorry you're doing this to yourself,
and that has been incredibly popular in Canada. Everybody is like, uh, well,
I guess the election used to be about like domestic
Canadian policies, but now it's all about fending off threats
posed by the Trump administration. Their numbers has like shot.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
Up nothing like a common enemy.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Ye yeah, exactly, totally to bring the.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
People together, right yeah, I mean it's the best thing
that happened to Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It is wild when like I just you know, as
our elections are happening all like Canadian Z that game,
we're like, we're right behind you, We're right behind you,
We're about to go We're about to flop to the
right also, and then it's just like it's just wild
how the emergence of this shithead Trump immediately like what
the fuck like and it just sort of immediately has
(47:53):
people been like, right, hold on a second, this guy
is a fucking loser and dangerous and all the people
that are parroting that shit like in our country like
this is it cannot lead down? Ever is going on?
So The person who was like favored to take over
for Trudeau was the head of the Conservative Party, Pierre
Pollievit Pollievvy, Polly every poll Evry, Pierre poly Evry. I
(48:18):
don't know why he's Italian Pierre. He was, you know,
poised to coast to victory and now has completely had
to revamp his strategy because his you know, in the
run up to our election, like the thing he was
that was giving him strength was that he was being
repeatedly referred to as Canada's Trump. Yeah, and now that's
(48:41):
not good for him now that Trump has had a
chance to be really bad at his job in the
eyes of everyone, except for like the thirty percent of
Americans who voted for him, you know, they're like, whoa,
that that might be a very bad thing. It's it
is interesting though, too.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Everything Trump does has this weird effect also doing the
opposite thing if he wants like where he's like, well,
I abandoned Ukraine and now Europe's like, bro, we need
to fucking we need to cut these Americans out of
the conversation because they're gonna fucking destroy everything and like
fuck fuck all this so and has like a shit,
they're all getting each other's backs.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Now this is different, and now with Canada, Trudeau merely
just being like, this is some bullshit, guys, and it
was like, yeah, we're back, We're back, and Mike, look,
a word of warning to the Canadians, man, do not
let the presence of an aspiring fascist turn into a
(49:36):
neoliberal honeymoon. Okay, the Democratic Party should have taken the
biggest like a bigger l over what happened in twenty sixteen,
But the presence of Trump made everyone nostalgic for the
before times. They completely lost sight of like what what
was ailing society and what actually needed to be addressed.
So take the opportunity if you can. Now, I don't know,
(49:58):
I'm not gonna be but theoretically you could drive a
stake into the heart of right wing extremism and meet
people's needs. Okay, because if.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
You let the rot of inequality continue, the fungus that
is authoritarianism rule will have the perfect environment to replicate
and thrive in and you're just gonna end up being
the same place we are down the road. Like it's
not gonna be enough to be like, oh thank god
he's standing up to it. You now have to take
the opportunity to like just fucking learn from this. It's
(50:29):
because the Democrats did fuck all to address the needs
of the people at the expense of the donor class
that we're in this mess that we're in right now.
And also just ideologically, it's impossible for them to bite
the hand that feed, So we were fucked either way.
But Canada, you already got a leg up on America
in a few ways in terms of how you're treating
your people.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
So just I'm just it'll come back, though, if you know,
if not cares, shit will come right back.
Speaker 3 (50:57):
They are waiting for material conditions to be enough for
people to be like, yeah, fucking destroy everything that.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I wonder if we're gonna be able to if the
US is going to be able to get out of that,
because it is it does feel like the only thing
that can make the idea of sort of that corporatocracy.
But democrat look good is what Trump is doing, you know,
like he's doing the exact thing to make people be like,
(51:24):
I mean, I guess back to the other thing, and
Biden was fine, like yeah, I guess, No, it wasn't
and it's not now, And I think that's you know
if I like you think like the most cynical of
democratic strategies would be going to these billionaires be like, look, dude,
we need all y'all to like do token donations to
bring your cred back up and and make people feel
(51:46):
like you contribute to society. Just fucking just do these
token offerings to just fucking bring the temperature down a
little bit and say you're okay with that, and then
we can if you're okay with just a little bit
more taxes, we can just do some stuff that'll keep
them at bay before they all fucking turn off us.
That's but they can't even do that. They're just like,
(52:07):
but Trump's bad. So you're like, well that, okay. There
goes any opportunity to do anything, even the most cynical sense,
to try and keep the fucking powers that be in power,
because I mean, the road inevitably just ends this way, right,
So yeah, all these countries have the entire economically populist
(52:27):
lane to go down where you can create policies that
actually benefit people instead of corporations. And by the way,
corporations are people too, So Miles, when you said Joe
Biden didn't do things for people, you were meeting out
a big chunk of the population. Thank you. I will
refer to you your honor, no further answers, your honor.
(52:50):
But it's just so wild that like they are leaving
this huge lane that has like proven to be popular
in the past, with the Sanders campaign coming out of
nowhere in twenty sixteen, doing remarkably well in twenty eighteen.
But again, like to your point, I think people just
lost their nerve because they were like, well, we got
(53:11):
to beat him, and Sanders isn't gonna win, Like this
is not a time to be taking chances. This Trump
guy's pulling indicates that he could. Yeah, yeah, exactly, like
everybody's playing game.
Speaker 5 (53:22):
I mean, do you think that they, the Democrats, those
in power, he didn't want to bite the hand that
feeds them, actually would rather have Trump than Bernie.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
That's a great question. I mean probably, yeah, I think
they probably know that Trump is better for there. They
are so distinct from what, you know, what Bernie Sanders
and like, you know, the the idea of a progressive
politics that actually like is focused on helping people. That yeah,
(53:53):
I don't I don't think there's anything about Bernie Sanders
that appeals to me in stream Democrats, whereas with Trump
it gives them something to in theory, you know, fundrate.
I was gonna say, like, in theory, run against but
it's not even really running, it's just fundraising.
Speaker 4 (54:13):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (54:13):
I got so many fucking texts during that address, begging
texts from the Democrats, you know what I mean, Like
they're still they're so caught in their ways. They're like, yeah, fine, man,
we'll just like people be freaked out again and maybe
we can get more money. Although now I think they're
realizing people are so fucking disheartened by everything. Yeah, there's
the money ain't flown in like it used to. They're
(54:34):
willing to try anything except the uh Bernie Sanders thing
that would actually work, because that is Yeah. I mean,
it's just it's the thing that we saw with Biden
coming up against certain things and being like a what
can I do?
Speaker 7 (54:49):
Man?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I'm trying over here, and it's like, what's the unspoken thing?
You're not saying what what are you trying? And not
able to like, yes, there's Republicans in Congress, but it's
also what do you want me to do? Up end
this status quo? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And I think that's
it's the basic thing.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I mean, like, going forward, the only people who will
be worth listening to or voting for are people who
can just very simple premise. The status quo is violent,
and it's killing people, and it's every it's making everyone unhappy,
their meet their needs aren't being met, and we're so
far removed from like the even what people call like
the good old days when people could have like even
(55:27):
like my grandmother like was a fucking switchboard operator and shit,
and my grandfather drove a bus. Like they were able
to do shit and have a house even being black
like that, shit was kind of possible even then. We're
so far from that in the progressive tax policy that
we had then, we're just so if you're not if
you're not willing to come to the table and be like,
(55:47):
hey guys, everything that's been happening for the last few decades, we.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Have to reverse course on all of this. But that
is just far too extreme a mess, like perceived as
far to extreme a message from again the stakeholders of
our media and things like that, that it's just it's
but that's really what it is. Someone who's like we
just need to change a couple of things. No, we don't.
We need to change fucking so many things. And if
you're not really saying that with your whole chest, don't
(56:13):
waste people's time. Tweak the messaging. Tweak the messaging. Yeah,
