cover of the fan Mail album was. It was like
gray and spooky and just their faces like this and

Yeah it was. Wait, but fan mail is it fan email? Whoa?
That was back when email was new? Yeah, okay, cool,

(02:41):
I'm gonna sit and I gonna let that digest. I'm
gonna go eat some prunes for my digestion to stay regular. Well,
we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by the hilarious, the talented Beza double. What's up, ma'am? Hi?

(03:02):
Everybody thinks so much for having me back. It's so
good to have you back. Man. Let's just get straight
to it, man, Let's just talk NBA, man, I mean
every raiders like like like like like skip thirty, skip
forty sift. Well, we already skipped twenty twenty minutes of
good NBA content that we didn't record before. Before I

(03:24):
did this, I did your show years ago. Yeah, it's
been a while. I don't remember how many, but I
feel like it was like two or three years ago.
Hasn't been three quite yet? We're coming up on three
or did we just damn yo? I think we hit
the ninth. Wow, congratulations to us that gang. We did it.

(03:44):
Shout out to third. What's the third anniversary? Uh? Ten,
don't know? What do you get? Is that digital digital card?
Because it'll digital get down. But we're very sentimental, as
you can tell, Bezu anniversary. It's been a minute. But
what was that? What was what last time? What were
we talking about last nime? I have no idea, no idea.

(04:06):
I think we just had a nice, free flowing conversation.
The Warriors were unbeatable. That then, uh, that's where we
were at. Everyone's like, how do we play like the Warriors. Actually,
it's interesting because if it was two thousand sixteen or
two thousand seventeen, the Warriors has just been beat It
was two thousand six yeah, I think would have been
when we started in seventeen, So this is probably eighteen

(04:27):
because we were Warriors were unbeatable. This was this was
k D Warriors super team. We were just talking about
all the bad takes post Lakers Championship, with so many
bad takes, so many bad takes, like Lebron is not
the goat the dead dead Spin has an article that's

(04:48):
like at the top of all those Dennis blugs trending
right now, like it's at number one on the take
out and it's like Lebron cheated us all by like
going all the way back to the decision to like
the just the idea. They're blaming Lebron for the super team,
like the transgression exactly, the Lebron is Lebron is Yeah,

(05:10):
they're just they're like he should have been, Like he
should have been like Jordan and stayed with Cleveland and
just gutted it out and like turn that team around.
It's like, you know, if his GM is not drafting
Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, then like he's got to
make decisions. He's gotta make moves. Also, Jordan was drafted
to a large market team. Cleveland was not a large
market team. Lebron made it a large market team. There's

(05:32):
so much to say. One of the things that bothers
me though, more than anything, is the idea that Lebron
Lebron is at fault for the league, Like people say like,
well there's an asterix now because Lebron one and this
asterix things bothers me because every single player that played

(05:55):
had the same situation. Every team had the same situation,
So how can you put an ass tricks in my opinion?
And asterix thing is if one team, So if you
told me the Lakers were quarantined, no other team was
quarantined because only the Lakers dealt with COVID or something that.
But like every team had COVID, every team had the
same circumstance. Every team played in the same gym. Every

(06:16):
team had the same benefits and losses and pros and cons,
so like there's no asterix because it was equal for everybody. Yeah,
and also you were pointing out like he wasn't the
one who invented the super team, like Boston was already
doing the super team before him. They had their Big
Three before Miami had their Big Three. They put an
end to that Boston Big three ship right quick. He didn't.

(06:38):
He didn't join the team that was winning championships. He
joined a team that was like the eight seed the
year before, right, Yeah, exactly. I think the also those
takes where it's like he ruined us, I think is
already an acknowledgment that he's the best, because you're saying
his gravitational pull is so immense that it it can
throw things into chaos. It's like being like, I don't
know why the Sun got to be providing a with

(07:00):
all the energy really bucked us over, it's bullshit. I
think the son is bullshits, Like, well, then you acknowledge
that ship that's it's the sun, you know what I mean.
It's it's because it affects so many other things. So yeah,
maybe he did one of the things that I'm like
the biggest fan of anybody I know. But it's like,
I love Jordan's. I watched Jordan my entire childhood. I

(07:21):
wear nothing but Jordan's jerseys and Jordan's sneakers, and I
still spend way too much money on Jordan's. I love Kobe.
He's an idol, he has, but he has had more
of an effect on my life than most humans I
actually know. And Kobe Bryant has had an effect on
my life in my mentality way I think about things.
And then I've spent the last decade of my life
excited to win money betting on Lebron because everybody I

(07:45):
love Lebron, And it's like and it's like, it's so
easy to love all three. Why do people have to like?
That is exactly right, man, That is exactly how I feel.
It's so easy to be Like Shack is dope, Lebron
is dope. Kobe's to watch people take the game to
a new level, and Lebron is doing ship that like

(08:06):
people haven't done before. That is the dope that is
so fun to watch. And there are players that are
easy to hate, like Paul Pierce. Let's hate on them,
especially with a hit man. He was salty as fuck
with his commentary. He shouldn't be allowed to be a
compensator because Skip Bayliss is getting ridiculous to It's like,
you guys can't hate this much. Apparently some people can't. Sadly,

(08:30):
and the Bill Russell we were talking about the Bill
Russell argument that Bill Russell was the greatest player in
the history of the game because he had like a
leven rings and that is you know, he is the
greatest player of all time for a n b A
that was the size of a wreck league, um eight teams. Uh.

(08:51):
He it was at a time when he was both player,
coach and announcer. He introduced he introduced the Celtics. Uh yeah,
he did it all. And then Bill russells. Bill Russell's
a goat for his era, and it's like, I just
feel that we need to we need to understand this stuff.

(09:12):
They say, oh, in the nineties, Jordan had a tougher
league where there were hand checks and and and the
fouls were harder. That's true, give him that, But if
you're going to play that argument, then let's go back then.
We also say, well, there were no zone defenses. Jordan
was facing single coverage um and then like you know,
lebron Is is being zone defense to hell, and then
we can say, okay, Wellby had a little bit of

(09:33):
both and he still makes it work. So everybody had
their pros and cons. Also, do you know what Russell
Westbrook and Damian Lillard would do to John Stockton? Like
it's it's it's just the idea that like, oh, Jordan
faced tougher competition. It's like, no, we didn't, No, we
would twist his ass up. And it's like Clyde Drexler amazing,

(09:56):
awesome player, one of the greatest of all time and
for all Stars, right, but like he's not better than
even DeMar Derozen, He's not better than than Jimmy Butler.
Do you know what Jimmy Butler would do to Clyde Drexler.
So it's like, oh, man, Jimmy Butler would hate Clyde Drexler.
Clyde Drexeler was the always last to show up for practice,

(10:16):
first to leave. Do you know many people are going
to come at me? Like Clyde Drexler would destroy these guys.
He was smooth. I loved his game. He had he
was DeMar rozen. People have to keep it separate though, right,
because it's not saying Jimmy Butler is gonna destroy your

(10:36):
dad after school. It's that in the time, it's not
it's not worth comparing these things. It's like, well with
Gengis Khan defeat fucking Schwartz cough in the battlefield, Like,
I don't know, are they using the same fucking weapons.
I don't fucking know. Bro, like this greatest of that
specific era Goat, I guess we should be talking about.

(10:58):
But it's something scific we do with the NBA because
I you know, I'm an actor. Can you imagine if
I was like, yo, Denzel was amazing and you were like,
fuck Denzel, Tom Hanks is way better, and it's like wait,
wait what, Like I like them both? You know what
I mean? We don't do that. We don't make Clark
Gable the Goat. Oh, Clark Gable never didn't get nominated

(11:23):
for a movie he was in all. All art is
built on top of other art. Like you, what Brando
did was like influential, and people actors like I saw that,
took it in and digested it and then built their
art on top of that. And that's the same basketball
as an art for him and the same ship. You
can't compare them and be like, well this is better

(11:44):
than that, because like across it doesn't translate across seasons,
let alone across areas, because you're like, oh, if John
Stockton was such a good point guard, how come he
can't hit the sham god crossover? It Like it's the
difference it you know what I mean, he didn't know
everyone was seeing that. And Kobe grew up watching Jordan,
Lebron grew up watching Jordan and Kobe, and and Zion

(12:06):
Williamson grew up watching Kobe and Lebron, and like, it's
just it's just what. It's an evolution of the game.
And I really wish we could appreciate them all. And
I feel like so many people, especially the Twitter takes
is like you're going to be talking to your kid,
and I feel like you're not gonna be able to
explain to them the joy Lebron had because you had

(12:27):
so much you spent ten years hating. Yeah, Like people
are just I think I think what they're gonna do
is be like, oh, I love Lebron. I I watched
them do all this and that like that. I think
it might change. The narrative might change. Dad tell us
about how the hell Lebron ruined the league again, have

(12:48):
hater kids. It's like Karye, I said, you know, yeah,
I'll be like, you know why the Lakers aren't good anymore.
We haven't won in seventy years. When they blocked the
Chris Paul trade, It's like, what you one after that shot?
I get mad about the Chris Paul trade too. All right,
I wish we could talk about this, uh the whole time,

(13:10):
but exactly there's still some ship to um. We're gonna
talk about what Trump has been up to, just a
running log of his lagia, his just mouth diarrhea. We're
gonna talk about the fact that Osama bin Laden is
still alive. According to a Trump retweet, I have spent

(13:33):
some time thinking about how Donald can still win this election.
You know, he tells us what he's gonna do, so
I feel like this is a likely scenario. I want
to talk through that. NBC is giving Trump a town
hall opposite Biden's town hall on ABC, which is a
real questionable move on NBC's part. Um they like to

(13:54):
enable him. We will check in with what Beverly Hills
has to say about how how we should be celebrating
Halloween this year, all of that plenty more, But first, Basil,
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are?
A friend of mine, who is normally very smart and

(14:15):
on point, told me something that I didn't fucking buy.
So then I googled it. M hmm, and it's about
bin laden is still it's about a cat's me out, okay.
And I have a cat this year, new in quarantine,
my first pet of all time, and I like he
described it like like inventory, I have a cat this year,

(14:37):
new model. But I mean it's the first pet I've
ever had in my life ever, not ever, ever, ever, ever,
Like I grew up, I grew up poor in a
small apartment. We couldn't have pets, and like I and
I got this cat a month before quarantine, so who
knew how benefit it was going to be. But anyway,
I love her very much. But she said this is

(14:57):
what she said. She told me that your cat, she said,
My friend told me that told me that all cats
they don't mew to each other, They only now to humans.
And and the only and the wise because they're mimicking
a baby's cry. I have heard that as well. Okay,
here's what But my response to that was, I got

(15:19):
my cat as like really like a couple of days
after being born at a shelter and taken straight home
to a home where I live alone. My cat has
never heard a baby's cry. So how could my cat
be mewing mimicking a baby's cry if my cat never
heard a baby's cry? So I googled it. Right, there
is a lot of dissenting opinion about about the evolutionary

(15:44):
biology of how the was incepted into the cat. And
if you think I had spend about two and a
half hours, yeah I had. The way I had heard
it is that it just evolved that way. So like
just like all you know, random chance, uh kitten, Like

(16:04):
the kittens that got picked up and kept by humans
were the ones whose cries like tapped into that short
circuit in our brain that is designed to respond to
babies cry. So it's not that the cat is like
doing an impression of a baby, it's just that they're
meal happened to have evolved that way specifically because we

(16:26):
favored the ones who could meal meal explaining to us, Now,
my I have a cat. I have two cats. One
of them straight up screams at night, just go yeah,
like it's just like it's not It's to the point
where I'm like, motherfucker, have you even heard another cat?
Like what is this? Because sometimes I have been worried

(16:48):
because it's like, fun, is the cat sick or something?
Go outside and it's just chilling and it's screen. It's
like one of her Majesty's hair ties will be on
the ground and it's just yelling at a hair tie
on the ground. Yeah, And I'm like, yo, this is
too much. So for a second when you said that,
I was like, oh, no, has this been something going
on with the hair tie the cats trying to tell

(17:08):
me about But I'm like, no, this cat is doing
its own thing. Is just having a conversation with this
elastic circle. That's amazing. Yeah, animal noises are some animals
don't know how to sound like they're supposed to. Yeah,
my cats are there, and they like they get a
one out of ten on their yeo impersonations because they're
like it sounds like there's going like so it's I'm

(17:31):
like Okay, I guess we're talking. My cat is very
vocal um, but she's so adorable when she knows she's
about to get fed because she sees me open the
door where the food is. Time. It's a NonStop until
the food is in her mouth. Yewww. Yeah boy. She

(17:52):
has been the only real true joy in my life. Uh,
during this quarantine, I live alone and I'm single, and
so it's like this is a lonely last year. Um,
so me and my cats have gotten and this is
my voice to Harry right now, Yeah we do. What

(18:14):
is something you think is underrated? Oh? I have a
good one of these two? Okay, underrated. Oh I'm gonna lose.
Oh god, I've already lost people in the basketball. I'm
gonna lose people on this. I think that Dave Matthews
band has become underrated because because I know the face
the face take. I love this take. So I grew

(18:37):
up like everybody else my age in upstate New York
or I guess the whole country love New York. Do
you hear me loving Dave Matthews Band, And then all
of a sudden, I get to college and I like
learned that it was like lame to love Dave Matthews
Band and like that they you know that they're I
guess dorky or something. I don't know, Like the fan

(19:00):
sucks so much that like their music sucks, and then
I'm like, wait a minute, they're really good. Uh. Carter
Buford is one of the best drummers of all time,
widely regarded as such by other drummers, and like their
musicianship is solid and they've now become underrated. Like now
I'm afraid to say I'm listening to the Dave album,
but like Crash is a perfect album, so get off me.

(19:23):
Fuck yeah, dude, I love it, man, Dude, that's the take.
Crashes a perfect album. Come fight me. It kind of is.
I don't know all their albums, but I've I haven't
revisited Dave since I went through that like transition where
I was like, yeah, no, I never liked that ship
that that was that was whack and like hid my

(19:45):
Puka shell necklace behind my back in in my trashman
year dorm. But that like, there's gotta be something to
how much I loved that. Like Live at the Red Rocks,
Oh god, that was months in Central Park is great.
And I'm like, I love Dave and then the my

(20:06):
ability to throw them away when everybody thought that they
were not cool. I was like, oh yeah, I'd never
listened to Dave. No, I didn't go to the concert.
I got one of those playlists that like, you'll always
listen to, uh fucking so much to say, it will
always be the fills in that Carter Buford's fills on
that check. You guys are some Carter Bauford is an

(20:31):
incredible drum He's in he does one of these things
that's so wild. You know, most drummers have four surfaces
because they have their two feet and then they have
their two sticks, but Carter has seven because he plays
with his dick I heard, because his left foot he
does he does a toe on the high hat, but

(20:51):
he has a heel on something else, so that's three.
And then for his hands sometimes he puts his he
puts the hands in the middle of this stick and
he uses both ends. So it's like numb chucks almost
when you can get that on high hat, because you
see some people who can go nasty sixteenths on a
high hat by like middles from that midstick grip. I

(21:12):
mean you know, salute the rummers out there. So anyway,
So anyway, I'm here to say now that I'm old
enough that I don't care what you think about what
I like. I love Dave Matthews bad and they're underrated.
Now hell yeah at the streets with your crash t
shirt on and like gen Z tear you two bits
in the streets. It's interesting to I forget where I
was reading or listen to a podcast that was like

(21:35):
all about drummers and how they're like the goalies of
the of bands where there's just like they're just like
slightly off and everybody in the band is just like, yeah, no,
they're like almost a different species of human, Like their
brain just like works slightly different, Like really great drummers
just like processed time differently than the rest of us. Um. Yeah,

(21:57):
but that's I mean, that's wild. Like the thing describing
about Carter Buford, like that ship it seems impossible to me,
like that seems like you would need a machine to
do that. Yeah, you listen to some songs and I'm like,
this has to be three drummers, right, what is something
you think is overrated? All right? I feel strongly about this.

(22:19):
This is before Corona when we can go to the movies,
three D movies over In fact, when I go to
the movies with a group of friends and they're like,
we're going to the three D one, I'm like, I
don't even know if I really want to go. I'd
rather go to the standard one HD great IMAX, great
love and Imax movie. But if I got to put
the glasses on for the three D, I don't. It

(22:42):
doesn't enhance the experience for me. It's like it sort
of just looks tacky, takes me out of the film.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm watching a movie now, and
sometimes gives me a headache. So I think, like the
Where the Glass Is three D thing overrated? Okay, I
mean what was the I feel like because is Avatar
was such a vibe for people, it fucked up the

(23:04):
whole market after that, because they're like, you know what, dude,
if we just say some ship's three D, they're gonna
watch this Percy Jackson, bullshit. I don't give a fun
just say it's three D and if you have to
do it in post, fuck it. Um. But yeah, it
really did. I think I only saw one other three
D film after Avatar and it didn't even come close.
And I was like, this is sometimes I want to

(23:26):
go to a movie and the only available screening was
the three D R Yeah, so then you're like, you know,
you're watching Spiderman in three D or something, and then
I'm like, I paid extra for this because it's supposed
to be quote unquote a better experience and it's the
worst experience. But that is I felt like at one point,
I mean, I'm making this up, but I felt like,
at one point, you know, period dramas were in three D.
It was like uncut gems in three DS, and I'm like,

(23:48):
what am I watching Adam Sanders scream at me in
three D? Four Hugo was I feel like Avatar and
Hugo were both like pretty great three D experiences from
like I really both of those theater and then and
then everything else has been garbage and it's it's it's
really weird. It's like why they just didn't learn the

(24:11):
lessons or they didn't pay attention to I guess you
just need so many different things operating together to pull
off like a like artistry in three D, because like, yeah,
James Cameron spent all the money on Avatar and then Hugo.
You have Martin Scorsese, but like you need an artist

(24:33):
who is like at the center and like has enough
gravitational pool to make everybody, like, you know, invest in
that idea. It can't just be like hacked together after
the fact, like a lot of the three D like
basically every other three D I don't think there's been
another good three D experience than most after Corona. If

(24:54):
you can get people excited to go back to the
movie theater again, and they get people they get excited
about going back to a packed mo the theater again,
you now also have to get people excited to wear
glasses that thousands of strangers have also previously worn. So
I don't I don't know how we're gonna do the
three D glasses experience. It's gonna be like a bring
your own type thing thing. It's like, all right, well,

(25:16):
look we're adding fifteen bucks to the cost of the ticket,
but now you own them, and yeah, all right, before
we get to your myth, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back, and based

(25:42):
on what is a myth? What's something people think it's true?
You know, to be false. I think that there's a
myth of the liberal bubble because you know, people talk about, like,
especially in politics now, it's like, well, you guys in
your bubble, your elitist bubbles, your liberal bubbles, and I
just I'm starting to like reject that, and I feel

(26:02):
like I once believed it. But what does that mean?
The liberals that I know, the progressives that I've been
around my entire life, raised in a progressive household from
a activist family, and then you know, went to a
progressive school in a progressive city and blah blah, blah blah.
So I've been in the most quote unquote liberal bubble
places of a person could be in. But that means

(26:22):
that I learn about other people, visit other places, travel
all the time, um, and in diverse cities, meeting diverse
people in diverse populations. Um. I've lived in New York, Chicago,
Los Angeles, born in Boston. I I am constantly traveling,
We're constantly reading and constantly learning about other people and
meeting different walks of life from different economic, economic and

(26:43):
socio economic backgrounds. It's the other people that are in
the bubble, ones who don't leave their town don't learn
about others in a very homogeneous white, socio economic predominantly
UH Anglican, Like that's the bubble, right. I reject that

(27:03):
we're in a bubble. I propose that they're in a bubble, right.
I mean, like the media bubble for sure is real.
But I think yet to your point of like, experientially,
there likely your likelihood of being exposed to like many
different people and cultures and then still being very conservative,
I think it's like, you know, the chances go down
a bit. But there's something about like I forgot. I

(27:24):
was talking about Dad, and he was talking about like
a very interesting point about how you know that life
is all about change and the most people don't like change,
but the constant changing of things is actually what life is.
It's the beginnings and endings of things. That's how we
perceive life. And for people who are open to these
newer things are open to life because they're open to

(27:46):
change or things evolving, whereas conservatives are absolutely against this,
like evolving, like they're sort of stagnant in this place
where at their own perildic it's like fucking preserved everything
as it was from this moment and put a fucking
you know, just time capsule where that nothing can get
to and that you're also seeing how that's like, what

(28:07):
that looks like too. So yeah, in that sense, yeah,
that bubble is sort of about being in this very
protected world where nothing that you thought it was challenged
and you can go on thinking that everything up to
this point is fine status quo. Yeah. I mean there's
a great thinker writer named a at Uktar. He wrote
a book called Homeland Alergies. It just came out recently, um,
and he wrote a play where he talks about conservatives

(28:30):
very similar to what you said that they want to
they want they want to go back to sort of
the time that things were written, and a lot of
times they're religious. But it's confusing because the Bible was
written by desert people who lived in a desert where
life was hard and relentless and something to be suffered through.
And if they want to go back, but they don't

(28:53):
want to go back so far that we cut off
the hands of thieves and kill the unbelievers and stone
wives and and do things like that. So it's it's
how they pick and choose, right, is very confusing, uh
to me. But they pick and choose to suit themselves,
and they also define or design a version of the
past that suits themselves and that never really existed. Um

(29:17):
you know, they they Fox News is created and the
mega movement has created a version of the fifties that
didn't actually exist. I would agree with you that my
I guess my social media feed is a bubble. Yeah,
I mean yeah, But I think it's about whether or
not you have the awareness around that of like whether
or not people Most people don't have the awareness. I

(29:39):
think like they're probably only getting their note news from
like one source typically or two typically and sort of
just always say like that's it. I don't need to
look much further than how I'm reading this reporting on
a certain event versus like constantly maybe pursuing as many
different angles on something. Because I think a lot of
the time, you know, our media diets help, they soothe

(30:01):
us a lot of the time. To like that if
you're conservative, like you want to hear about liberals getting pooned,
so you can just be like, oh, good, good, thank God,
Like they're getting pooned and they're crying because they're getting brutalized,
and then for other people it's like, yes, Trump's getting
smashed in the polls or whatever, without really even or
certain aspects about how his presidency is like unraveling, without

(30:23):
taking a second to be like, Okay, yes, that is
one version of this story. There's also another there's another
reality where like reading these things too can also have
an effect where it's I'm beginning to I don't know,
it's it's more the risk of losing sight of like
maybe how um severe certain issues are based on how
like reporting is given to you and like your media diet.

(30:45):
But yeah, at the end of the day, I think
it's I think empathy is really the great divider is
whether or not you can look at someone who might
be in a different world than you and for a
moment be like, yeah, that could be different, that might
be a different experience, rather than being like, I know
what it's like to live in San Francisco and the
homeless people are shooting Heroin into their raised and their

(31:05):
scooters and they're going off the Golden Gate Bridge with
you know, the hippie it's like or you you know,
you land in Chicago at O'Hara and you gotta start
dodging bullets because everyone shooting everybody in this criminal place.
You know. I started thinking about this more though, because
a lot of the activism work I do is is
around representation and and and and how people of color

(31:26):
or party are portrayed in the media and the lack
of opportunities. And one of the studies is the USC
Annenberg study that came out a few years ago, and
it said that um Manasa people in Manasa is Middle
Eastern North African South Asian people, right, so basically brown
people of the Middle East and South Asia. We're twenty
two series regulars on television out of two thousand series regulars, Okay,

(31:51):
so about one percent. And of those twenty two, seventeen
of them were threats. Wow, they were threatening characters. So
it also said that most people in America don't have
a friend outside of their race. And so when you

(32:11):
when I hear that, it's so mind boggling to me
because in my quote unquote bubble, I have friends of
all races and all genders and all you know, orientations,
and so it's mind bogging. But then you start thinking
about a lot of these places, and I'm like, yeah,
I get by you might not have a friend outside
because you live in such a homogeneous town. And you
don't travel, and so if now it's true that you

(32:34):
don't have a friend outside of your race, so you
don't have a friend who looks like me, And the
only time you ever see anybody who looks like me
is rarely on television, and se of that time their threats.
Of course you're afraid of me. So of course you
love Trump's Muslim band. Of course you love the ship
whole countries comment. Of course you love that stuff because
the only thing you've seen are the threats once in

(32:56):
a while on television. You don't actually have the person
to person connection with somebody. Right. That bubble specifically is
defined by a lack of information and the deprivation of
exposure to other points of view. Uh, Whereas the liberal bubble,
I think, can be too steeped in, you know, or

(33:18):
to to dismissive of that very specific point of view,
like too dismissive of you know, Nascar and the values
of Middle America. But there are attempts by by the
New York you know, the New York Times after the
twenty sixteen election became obsessed with like exposure to like

(33:39):
that way of life. Yeah, but the liberal bubbles also
has a lack of information too, because it's it's just
about getting you to the to talk about a problem
and not solving it. And that's where I see a
lot of liberal people fail and when they try and
engage with like really big systemic issues is that it's like, yeah,
it's bad, it's bad, and it's like go on and

(34:04):
it's bad, and it's like no, see, we need more
people to say it's bad and this is what we
need to do, like we we don't have enough. The
liberal diet of media diet also doesn't give people the
imagination to solve the issues. It just takes you to
the river, doesn't tell you how to drink. It's just
like and I think what we're saying is that, like
both sides have an equal amount of hypocrisy, for sure,

(34:24):
always at the end of the day. But I think
to your point, there's something a little more specific to
what you started off with. I think experientially, there certainly
is this idea of like living in a city or
something or a progressive area somehow makes you like think
because I've seen how people are, like they're drinking unicorn
blood and their frappuccinos, and that's exactly right, all right,

(34:48):
you know, we were just talking about kind of the
general milange, the general zeitgeist of the news. But let's
talk some specifics of what is happening right now. The
President is out here, he is doing his best to
get things back on track. Uh, he was in Pennsylvania.

(35:10):
Uh and yeah, he he's never fails to come up
with new looks. Yeah, he had a new look on
the campaign trail. Yeah, he's you know, he's a chameleon.
He's always adapting. He's desperate. It's sickening, it's all depressing.
But Pennsylvania is obviously is getting a lot of attention
from both candidates Trump Barry. I think he lost by

(35:32):
less than one percent in the UM race. And right
now the Trump administration is filing like lawsuits left and
right to try and come up the voting process, specifically,
especially like Philadelphia, where a huge portion of the state's
Democratic votes are going to be coming from UM. Biden
has been visiting Pennsylvania more than any other state since September,

(35:53):
and like his ad spend there is only second to Florida.
So they're very focused. He's, you know, Numery Lee in
the polls leading. I don't you know whatever that means,
but Trump absolutely needs to win Pennsylvan like his numbers
are tanking, and like a lot of the other previous
battleground states, you're seeing the campaign poll ads to try

(36:13):
and focus with the little money they have into some
kind of winning strategy to get more white grievance voters
to come out. So he goes to Pennsylvania. You know,
he's out here fucking NonStop, begging for votes and quite
literally begging for votes. And he said about suburban women please,
like that's what we're about to get to. So um,

(36:36):
you know, he seeing how bad he's doing in Pennsylvania.
He just made it very clear, very specifically, which demographic
is really fucking up his chances. And because he's coming
out here with his with two pay in hand or
hat in hand, I'm sorry saying please please just listen
to this. Listen to this. What's fucking said? Ask suburban women?

(37:01):
Would you please like me? I saved your damn neighborhood? Okay,
you other thing. I don't have that much time to
be that nice. You know I can do it, but
I gotta go quickly. We don't have time. They want
me to be politically correct, Oh, yes, let's discuss it.
Let's talk about it over the next ten years. No, no, no, now,

(37:23):
we saved your We saved suburban um. Yeah. The like
when it goes from like shout out to my suburban
women and people like yeah, and then he's like gets
into specifics and it just goes like dead sounds. They're like, wait,
what what is? What is is he like following this

(37:44):
down a path of trying to reason That said, they're
trying to get me to be politically correct, but I'm
going fast. Then you know, what, are we gonna talk
about it for ten years? What what you're You're you're
tanking with because your rhetoric is so fucking all full
and you are in an active campaign to take away
the rights of women, especially to have any kind of

(38:07):
decision over their bodies or any human being for that matter.
So yeah, it's it's running a bit a foul with
the women who are living in suburbia. But also, I mean,
I don't understand how begging is like the tactic. It's
I'm sure that like you gotta it's like right before
that's like, I know you're not gonna listen, Mr President,

(38:29):
but if you can just say something that would soften
your image with suburban white women because they helped you
a lot big time. That would be great. He's like, yeah, great,
us often it up. Come on, women, you know what
I like me? Can you like me at the same rally?
This is where he I don't know if you guys
saw the clip of him dancing to and do you

(38:52):
think do you think it's like ignorance of that the
village people is like a gay anthem or do you
think it like a weird spin like we're gonna take
this gay anthem and make it a maga thing. Yeah.
I think it's just he doesn't care. He's there's too
much nuance there. You've lost Trump. But you're both saying

(39:15):
that he knows. I think I think probably he's generally awake,
but he knows the village people are like gay people
in leather. But yeah, I don't know if maybe he's
just like but it's a bob, you know, I don't
when the ship slaps, the ship slaps no time as
they can like he he thinks he's owning them by
playing their music, because are they are they? Did they

(39:37):
sign off on? Did they act? He's been doing this
the whole time, so then they're getting a check and
the next one, the next one is uh. He always
plays Losing My Religion at the top of a thing,
and I'm like, Michael Stipe hates you, right, hates you? Yeah,
that's wild. Is that just because he it's a song

(40:00):
he likes, because that doesn't really even like that's one
really like one of my anthem One of my favorite
follows is Aaron Rupar on Twitter because he I don't
I can't watch a whole Trump rally, but he like
puts like the highlights of Trump press conferences, Trump interviews
and Trump rallies on his Twitter so you can watch
like eight minutes or something of it that's like a recap,
and so I follow that a lot. And sometimes it's

(40:21):
the beginning of whoever's introducing him, and I swear to god,
it's always like R E. M and like these like
nineties alternative rock jams, and I'm like, these people hate you, yeah,
And they're constantly threatening with cease and desists after the
fact because like he's not getting it. When they're like
don't hey, fucking don't like all right, I guess you
have to fucking sue you. You fucking ask. But the dancing,

(40:44):
the dancing, the village people and being so anti gay
in legislation and then like dancing to a gay anthem.
It's just so bizarre. Yeah, well, I mean I think
for him, he's like, what do you mean it's it's
become bigger than that. Go to any sports game in
the country. They're playing this song. It's just just a fun,
fun jam about it. A cool place to go when
you're a guy down on your luck. I saw a

(41:06):
video on Instagram that I think it was a TikTok
of someone saying that he falls asleep crying to macho man,
which is I want to be a macho man. Just
that dance, though, was like, that needs to become an
iconic clip, like that goes down in museums, just him

(41:27):
doing the little like mom dance. It's a suburban woman dance.
Yea suburban woman dance. See what do you mean? I was,
I love it. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back. And

(41:55):
the other place that the president is on a roll
is on two Twitter, where he is retweeting just the
wild conspiracy ship, just straight bullshit. Now, like the president,
our team, the nonsense. This Twitter user Oscar the Miden,
I'm not fun foot. I'm not gonna give this person.

(42:17):
Just some fucking guy on Twitter. Okay, he retweeted, just
some guy who linked to this article and this tweet
that Trump we tweets reads Hiden, Biden and Obama may
have had Sealed Team six killed explosive c I. A
whistle blower exposes Biden's alleged role with the deaths of
Sealed Team and claims to have documented proof. Retweet and

(42:37):
this article is just in d J h J Media,
which is an absolute dumpster fire as has nothing to
do with anything close to legitimate journalism, and it's all
about I don't know, I guess it's a death blow
to the Biden Harris campaign where they're alleging that Joe
Biden had Sealed Team six killed and then covered it

(42:58):
up by paying you on money under the guys of
the fucking nuclear deal or some ship. And then Bin
Ladden may actually be alive and Biden is actually behind
a bunch of CIA crimes. Okay, saying it like you
don't believe it. The last part I believe because if
they say like and he might be he might have
engaged in some war crimes. I'm like, well, you know
it's it's it's called being on the executive of the

(43:20):
United States him. I read, I read because Okay, so
the dude who was on the seal team that killed
Ben Lawden tweeted today that Obama gave the order and
he wasn't a double and stopped this. And it's weird
because that guy is a huge Trump supporter. Um. But
even he came out and was like, this is ridiculous.
Well yeah, he's like, it's like trying to dunk on

(43:43):
his greatest achievement. I'm sure it's like a operator. You're like,
hold off, you're not taking this from me. I don't
give a fuck. All the people underneath the tweet, we're like, nope,
you were involved in a deep state. Uh you know
this thing, this thing, and it was one of the
things was the reason why they think it was because
been Laden hadn't aged in twenty years if you look
at the pictures and and that especially if he's in

(44:07):
caves like he would age. And I have two part
response to that. I'm like, first of all, the whole
thing about caves, it's just racism. He wasn't in caves.
He was always in like mansions he was. You just
think that Afghanistan is all caves, but it's not like
the whole thing about caves was never a thing. No
one actually they think these people, they think like these

(44:32):
terrorists were like actually in caves. It's like, no, they're
in mansions. They have houses. You just keep saying caves
because it's racist. And then the other thing is that
like he didn't age, what do he looked old as fuck? Right?
He was on dialysis. Yeah, he was doing terrible. He
looked like shit. I mean, all the fucking gas lighting

(44:53):
and wacky ship that they're that's coming out of the
right right now, it's truly next level. I mean, Rudy
Giuliani's just blurting absolute anti science bullshit about coronavirus. We're
out here now, the President's retweeting ship that Biden had
seal team. It's it's all very very desperate, and I'm
not sure what they I don't know. I mean, this

(45:15):
is nothing is off limits at this point. So yeah,
just all all they have to do is make uh,
the other side exhausted, which you know, a plus job there.
They've succeeded, right, We're fucking so tired of of this.
And they also have to just like make the reality

(45:37):
like questionable, make it make it so that people don't
know what's real and what's not anymore, and like that
certainly is happening with his followers. Uh you know, imagine
being that Seal Team six guy and like you can't
even like the thing that you are known for is
suddenly taken away from you by like your fellow. Like

(45:59):
it's just everything is a shifting reality. It's you know,
all you have to do is look at Putin's propaganda
master like built out a whole plan of like how
you do this, and this is exactly what this is
exactly what they're succeeding in. This is why, like the
polls really shouldn't make anybody feel better, because we've never

(46:22):
dealt with just a straight up, you know, authoritarian who
is using propaganda full out, like full stop. And there
even reports Fox News the newsroom is like there's reporting
coming out that there on board with whatever the funk
they got to say on election night, like even out

(46:42):
of the news room. Um, not just the like opinion
goals of the Ingram Hannity's and Carlson's they're on board
with the Trump administration with whatever they have to say. Yeah,
it's really I mean to me because I always feel
I can still feel like Ted Cruz and Rubio and
am these people clearly obviously all hate Trump and are

(47:05):
and are doing this thing over the last four years
because they feel like they need to like strengthen the
racist space and I and I get that, but then
I'm like, so, why do you want him to win again?
Like you guys secretly hate Trump because it's just the
way the machine works, you know, Like they're they're in
this party and they have their base that there now

(47:27):
suddenly beholden to that's like a completely different look or
at least much more aggressive in how sort of like
violent and racist they are. And they're like, what do
I fucking do? Do I I speak my conscience and
then just have these people fucking threatened me to death?
I mean, it's all so clear that it's just all
it's they're just they don't know what to do. It's

(47:48):
so clear that they go home to their wives and
are like, God, this fucking idiot, And she's like, Ted,
when are you gonna you said, you're gonna fuck him
up for talking that ship. But the only person, oh,
I think maybe doesn't do that as Mitch McConnell. I
feel like he's like, all right, odd, why Yeah, I
don't know, because he's like, I don't even think he's alive.

(48:09):
He's like being powered by like fucking fracking gas and
like dollar bills and ship. Yeah, he looks like that
spirit at the end of Star Wars, that whatever that
character is that the main dude who is the bean
villain in the final one with the black great description
the main dude, the main villain in Star Wars in
the black rope, you know, yeah, bro, Yeah, I don't know. Man,

(48:32):
when you no longer have to hide the fact that
you are sewing miss information, when you no longer have
to hide voter suppression, which seems to be like what
you know, they don't they're completely unaccountable when it comes
to the media. So there, you know, asking people to
physically intimidate voters at certain pulling locations. They're shutting pulling

(48:56):
places down, they're throwing away ballots, they're going to try
to legally discount ballots. Yeah, fiber optic cables are suddenly
being disconnected in Virginia the day of registration, the voting registration,
which happened in two on the same day, and they
sued in twenty six another swing for the same thing.
In it's ridiculous they had to extend the deadline. But

(49:18):
it's like, oh, whoops, we were digging in this area
and we completely fucked up the fiber optic cables that
were powering the states. Like I t for voter registrate.
It's The New York Times magazine did a look at
like voter fraud and how Trump is using the claims
of voter fraud, which has never been a problem, but
they're using that as like the thing that makes the

(49:38):
ground that the whole election stands on into like a
quicksand Like one of the details in this story that
I didn't realize is that in two thousand, like they said,
the basically the modern era of Republicans using claims of
voter fraud to win elections and you know, suppress votes

(50:00):
started in two thousand. There was a like, as they
were really doing the recount in a Dade County like courthouse,
Republican protesters were like surrounded the building, broke into the building,
broke into the room where they were doing the recount
and started like slamming on tables and slamming on the walls.

(50:23):
This was organized by Roger Stone, Yes, that Roger Stone.
It was called the I forget what they called it.
Brothers Riot. Yeah, the Blue Blazer Riot, the Brooks brothers.
They're all dressed in like corporal business attire. But the
board was sufficiently intimidated that they suspended the count less

(50:45):
than a quarter of the way through when it had
shown a net gain of a hundred and sixty votes
for Gore. And that count never resumed because the Supreme
Court called it off. So can you imagine if black
or Muslim people did that. It's unbelievable. It's straight up,
they just rioted to steal an election. And it's like

(51:08):
I had to read about it in a New York
Times article twenty years later. I learned. I learned last
night that three of the people on the legal team
during that Florida recount fiasco were Amy Comy, Barrett Kavanaugh,
and Justice Roberts. That those are three people who legislated

(51:29):
that whole recount fiasco in Florida, And now there are
three Supreme Court justices, and it's like, I have no
faith that she's not going to get put right the
hell through. It feels like, oh, she's definitely going to
and she won't. She's refusing to even say I I won't. Like,
can you imagine if we did what she did on
a job interview? If you're like, so, what would you

(51:51):
do if you were hired? And I was like, well,
you'll find out when you hire me, right, mm hmm okay,
So that's well, are you gonna work hard? Don't know? Man?
Find out? Man? I mean that is like that's sort
of standard policy, that's standard procedure for justices to say, like,
I'm not going to tell you how I would rule

(52:12):
on that, but I will like point to precedent um
and then like we would have to judge it on
its merits. But like some of just some of the
stuff that is like tangentially coming out as she's making
those arguments are really frightening, Like when she's talking about
can the president ignore a Supreme Court ruling? And she's like, well,
the thing is it's like, hold on, why are you

(52:33):
starting off with the thing is it's not should be No,
this motherfucker's not above the laws, Like, well, here's the deal.
I mean, we can then interpret the law and make
it and give a ruling. But then at that point,
I don't know if we can compel from a political
standpoint that And now you're saying so you're saying you
you don't know or you don't know. You're like, well,
I certainly can't make them do something. That's not a
good answer right now when we're talking about full blown

(52:57):
rat fuccory. Yeah, climate inch her response, I'm no scientist,
which is like, hasn't been even the conservative response since
like the eighties, Like that's like just ridiculous. She referred to,
like during gay marriage questioning, she referred to that as
sexual preference. Again, not even like a thing conservative say. Uh,

(53:22):
Like it implies that it's just like, hey, whatever you
feel like that day. Clearly you know you're just making
up your mind. Yeah, it's it's bad Beverly Hills. Let's
talk about let's talk about Halloween and Beverly Hills. That's
where all right, um, dude, Weezer, bring us back Weezer.

(53:48):
Uh yeah, they have, they have officially ruined Halloween. Now
this is more of a local story for US Angelinos.
Because of l A. He first started off with the
City of Los Angeles being like, oh, we're trick or
treating you've been Oh hell no, it's a fucking pandemic.
We're not trick or treelic. But fulk what you said.

(54:09):
Cut to three hours later, Okay, I am sorry. Uh
do your own thing, l A. My bad. Didn't mean
to like try and look out for y'all. As as
the fucking mayor. Really, all they did just said is
like they would actually would advise against it. That's that's
what they went from being like it ain't happening to
like we're gonna say, like, don't do that. But that's
I don't. We'll see what happens in Beverly Hills though,

(54:32):
you know, in that little enclave, the mayor is not
fucking playing around. And it is a very specific the
band on trick or treating in Beverly Hills. It says specifically,
giving candy, toys or treats to anyone outside one's household
is prohibited, no matter if the handouts passed through a
front door or the trunk of a car, the ladder
being known as trunk or treating um. And they also

(54:54):
said the city is banned, has banned quote spring shaving
cream on others, and though it gave licensed barbers an exemption,
thank god, Beverly Hills residents can also feel free to
spray cream spray cream members of their own households. Within
those households, what is the mayor the most consorted parent

(55:16):
on earth? What happened to the mayor with the shaving cream? Yeah?
Someone they got that shaving cream prick and just have
never recovered. Their whole career has been an excuse to
legislate people's ability to spray cream each other. Um, I
don't it's it doesn't even it's so specific, like in

(55:40):
the actual wording of this, you know, from the city bamboom,
house to house tricker treating or car to car, sringor treating.
The second thing that's for him it is spraying shaving cream.
I mean, I get it. You're getting like a bunch
of possibly contaminated like liquids on your face. Sir. Some

(56:00):
ship and it's around, But like it seems like such
an overly o. I don't understand. I never even did
that ship. Yeah no, the only time I used shaving
cream was the with the prank where you put it
on someone's hand and then tickle their nose and a sleepover.
Uh and I think I that's punishable by death in

(56:21):
Beverly Hills. Ye yeah, yeah, yeah, that will put you
will get put away for all your off that. Um, well,
all right, that's good to know. Do you guys know
what you're gonna do for Halloween? Are you going to celebrate?
I haven't have not thought about it once. In fact,
the first time I thought about Halloween was about thirty
seconds ago when you started talking about the Beverly Jack.

(56:44):
I haven't forgot that we were even in October. When
I was like down like in the summer, I was like,
oh ship, we're about to hit three years because they
had seen I just realized we were in October. We
just penned, is it Halloween on like a Friday or Saturday?
This year it would have been it's a full moon
and it's a blue moon. It's the second full moon
of October, which is it's gonna be and it's Halloween

(57:07):
during a pandemic. Uh. My neighborhood gets a lot of
tricker treats. So we have to like figure out what
we're gonna do. Yeah, what are what are you going
to do? I think just put like a bench out
that just says like see you next year, but then
and then just hope people aren't too mad. But I
also think like nobody, like none of our neighbors are
planning on like doing trigger treating. So I was so

(57:30):
excited on New Year's for I was one of those
guys who was like twenties the year because changed the country, change,
We're gonna get a new leader. Everything's gonna be great,
blah blah blah. And then like wow, just like life
comes at you quick, I've gotten rocked. Yeah yeah, it's uh,

(57:51):
it's rough, and it's rough on those trigger treats. The
naive hope of New Year's December one a funk I
was on New Year's part of me wants to get
the PVC pipe and drop the candy down from the
second floor like a slide. Not about the dope. But
then it's like some kids head open just like firing them.

(58:17):
There comes some job breakers kids. But you're also like
putting pressure on your neighbors to then like come up
with some strategy. And also it's like for the people
receiving the candy, like do they want to receive candy
from like some house you know that's like knock on
the PVC pipe. Oh that in my neighborhood. Like you

(58:38):
just sit out front and there's a line like people.
So you're like one of those mobile games, like those
mobile zombie games where you have the machine gun mowing
down zombies, like walls of enemies, like walls of trick treaters,
tarret of candy. Yeah, yeah, candy Turretybody knows Jack doesn't
live in Beverly Hills now that's yeah, that's that's his own. Yeah,

(59:04):
I don't. I have never lived in an l a
neighborhood that felt like that, at least not in the
street that felt like that. I've always felt like it
was dead. I've always lived in or like yeah, I've
always lived in a neighborhood where I had to go
to another neighborhood trick or treat. I never lived in
like the lit trick or treating neighborhood. Yeah, we did
the We did the when I was a kid. We

(59:25):
did the pillow cases and we got out. We didn't
we got we got on bikes. Yeah, we would go
down to a street, run up and down the street.
It was not about fun. It was about who gets
the most numbers. Numbers that's always funny. There's always that
group of kids that is like sprinting full speed. You know.

(59:46):
Parents were drinking beers and like what the funk was
that a bunch of fucking minions ran by me and
tea for us? It was like how many pillow cases
can I get? Right to the point? Do you ever
bring him to school? Did every of somebody like yo,
check this out and just laid down the heavy bag
on you and like get into trouble that, like the
teachers like you can't bring this ship here? What are

(01:00:09):
you doing? I also grew up in upstate New York
where it was freezing by Halloween, so cold, so people
entire Oh my god, I would we would have like
Parkas on you know, like Parka over your ninja costume
or whatever. It was like, you know, it's just like
a ninja warming up on the sidelines. And I'm forgetting

(01:00:30):
the brand. But there was like a really popular brand
of puffy coat that I think it was like First
Ascent or something like that. Uh, it wasn't north Face
because we couldn't afford north Face. It was like whatever
mountain was under the bootleg version of that and first
gear or something. Oh god, I'm gonna remember it. But anyway,
I remember like all the old people like, well, what

(01:00:51):
are you supposed to be this year? And I was like,
I'm cold and a rush motherfucker butter finger. God damnit,
when are you going to get king size? Neighbors got
him up the street man and back in the day
they would give you a plastic baggy with homemade cookies
sometimes and I was like, nowadays, no way, now, no

(01:01:11):
one would eat that nowadays. Oh yeah, because everyone I
remember like when edibles like weed edible started, like that's
always like the trick d jr Click bait for concerning
is handing out everyone's like too expensive, too expensive, I'm
wasting on the fucking kid, You dumb better watch out.
Look at the labels that I'm handing kids, Like what

(01:01:32):
five milligram chocolate covered blueberries or something like that? Those
are expensive and I love them. Yeah you know how
much a tin of chocolate covered Kiva's cost. I'm not
bawling out of control, and I wouldn't waste it on
a twelve year old dressed as Spider. Whoever, when I
go I'm always like I always go and throwing a
couple of chocolate covered Kiva tints to the blueberries, and
they're like, okay, four okay, let's those. I'll just take

(01:01:55):
the rolling papers. No, no, not how much that that's
four hundred. You know that story probably was born out
of some fucking parent whose kid found it and had
to be quick on their feet, like, oh my god,
someone must have given this. Holy sh it, you really
don't know who our neighbors are. You really fairs bueller

(01:02:18):
ass little kid who's gullible ass parents are like, I'm
calling the local news. This is bad enough. They gave
him a whole bong um, Yeah, a little blunt. I
can't believe it. Uh Halloween cookies though, the the ones
that are like basically butter that go around that it

(01:02:40):
go there, like little uh cupcakes that go around the
around the Reese's cup, the mini Reese's cup. You know
that one? Oh yes, yes, put it in. Yeah yeah.
Shout out to those baked goods, yea Halloween. Halloween has

(01:03:02):
some good bake goods associated with it. Yeah, you know what,
I think That's what I'll do. I'm just gonna buy
one of those Pillsbury tubes where you slice off the cookies,
like the pumpkin ones. Yeah, like three of those smoke
blunt uh and watch watch some like fucking Arsenal highlights
and we're good. Yeah. Play a little Halloween music is

(01:03:24):
pretty fun too. There's like some good spooky jams. Somebody's
watching me. Thriller, Monster Mash, Monster Mashes the Jam. Yeah,
we were playing that this morning in my house. Is
there a Dave Matthews Halloween album. There is a Dave
Matthews creepy song it's called and Another Thing. There's also

(01:03:45):
a Dave Matthews song called Halloween, I think there is.
And there's a great war song called Warehouses. Kind of
creepy too. Um, but the and Another Thing is weird.
It's the song where like he's just like and it's
just it's really weird. It's on the crash. Like I
just looked at the lyrics to Halloween and like, like

(01:04:09):
this could be just a random word generator's version of
Dave Matthew's lyrics the first verse, Hey little Dreamer's eyes
open and staring up at me. It's like that's just
such a Dave Matthews as lyric he's like, hey, little dreamers,
a little lonely as open and radiant. Hell, yeah, Dave,

(01:04:32):
stay with what you do. Dave knows what he does,
and he knows what he's good at, and he does it.
It's Halloween about being rejected three times after proposing marriage,
is it? I don't know. When you look at like
people's like, uh, like genius analysis of the lyrics, I'm like, oh, wow, okay, cool.
Why that's lonely? Why that's lonely love? That's w Yeah,

(01:04:57):
that's that's not very Halloween. You could turn their I
wonder if artists look at their genius though interpretations are
like really, oh huh okay, interesting, that's that's deep. Okay.
