I don't know why I'm doing this, boy, it's very friendly,
appreciated classic podcasting. Thank you. I feel like I'm doing

(01:10):
a Paul Tompkins character. Yes, most people don't realize Riley
is a Paula Tompkins character. I am I fully invented
all of Tompkins. All right, we look at a balloon
Elegant Balloon Store. I actually live in the neighborhood of
the Elegant Balloon Store. And when I first moved to
l A like made my day, I took a picture

(01:31):
and sent it like other comedy nerds back in Ohio,
like I live here, is that one of his characters
works at the Elegant He has this really like vintage
Paul Tompkins joke from like way back in the day
of like the Elegant Balloons, and he has like a
guy walking into a balloon store with like a monocle
and like a opera had like elegant balloon the balloons.

(01:55):
It's like back when he was doing like it's on
his impersonal album, which is kind of like one of
those albums whereas like here's all the bits I used
to do, and now here's the stuff I actually care about,
like as a later album. Hey, speaking of albums, do
you have a special coming up? I do, Holy sh it,
that was so organic. I have a special coming out
on a streaming site called seedon Spark, which you may

(02:16):
be aware of. A speed and Spark is a crowdsourcing
website that specifically is focused towards independent filmmaking, and there
are a thing where they raise money for film, but
they also have the ability to like just buy people,
like if you want to buy them equipment, or they
have equipment that's available, people can rent it, like you
can like put money towards certain things, and they are
venturing into and they they've also they've had a thing
for a while where if you finance a film on

(02:40):
their site, you can also use their site as a
streaming resource so that you can have audiences see it.
And they it's a pay as you what you can
streaming sites, so it's as low as two dollars a
month if you want to pay more. That money goes
towards other films. They are producing their own comedy specials
and they've got some big ones coming up with like
Brian Possana, Cameras Zito. But they're also doing this one
where they booked a bunch of up and coming comics

(03:01):
and it had us do a special in July and
they're calling everything is fine, and it's coming out that
everything is fine. It's fine. Seton Spark is not a sponsor,
so all of this will be cut. No, I'm just
doing Uh. So it's gonna be like you're gonna find
a random time that I say no in the episode,

(03:21):
probably specially coming out no bitch about it, like we're
trying to help up. So anyway, But there's my special.
It's called Everything Is Fine and it will be available
starting September twelve. That's exciting. Yeah, exciting way to check
it out. Forward to it. All Right, we're gonna find
out more about you, but first we are going to
tell our listeners what we're going to be talking about today. Uh.

(03:43):
There's so much Trump news. Uh, there was the Trump
Fox News interview. Uh. There is Jeff Olson ball regard
Sessions openly clapping back. There is David Pecker having been
granted immunity, the publisher of all of the garbage publications
that we talked about during Bloyd Watch, Leo Pix Pecker

(04:07):
Communities just sounds like the worst porn. Yes. Uh, we're
gonna talk about Michael Cohen uh and his lawyer Lonnie
Davis out here just dropping the wild thirst trap. Uh.
Just Michael Cohen knows information that would be of interest

(04:28):
really just very specific clues. Uh. And apparently also looking
for a little crowdfunding help. I'm gonna just be a
real downer and talk about the overlooked dirt lining of
all the news we're having fun keeping up with. Right now,
we're going to check in with Greg Gutfeld and see
how in touch he is. He's always talking about, you know,

(04:51):
the elites, as is everybody at Fox News, and we're
gonna see how in touch he is with the workers
of America. We're going to look at a study of
the most sexist places in America and also just a
map of America. No, it's there are degrees, believe it
or not. Yeah, And we're gonna also look at a

(05:13):
sexism summer camp, which is interesting. Producer on a Hosni
he brought that to our attention. We're going to look
at Christopher Steele's win in a defamation case. I was
gonna tell us what's going on with uh feminism in
Saudi Arabia. It's great, and we're gonna do a Google

(05:34):
trend schim at the end. But first Riley, we like
to ask our guest, what is something premier search history
that's really about who you are. I have been every
day frantically searching for information about when the Funco pops
for the New thirt Doctor will be available for public purchase,
because there was a small batch made for Comic Con
this year, but they haven't actually been put into wide
release yet, and so every day I'm basically like searching

(05:57):
for them, like just looking for a release date, looking
for when I'll be able to find them. Now, what
is a Funko pop? Funko pops those little like they're
almost like bubble head looking figures. The next some actually
are bubble heads, but they're like like they have a
little body and they have like a giant head and
like black. Yeah, and is this for the new female Doctor? Yeah?
And is the toy company right, yeah? Funco is the
brand that makes them pop. Is the actual like line

(06:19):
of toys, and I collect them, with the exception of
the doctors from Doctor who, I only collect female figures.
It's been the part that was my way of trying
to limit my collection where it did not work. But
now they're coming together and I've already seen the main
one and I've seen photos of of a variation one,
and so now I need both of those, and I'm like,
where are the I need all these? Give me the things,

(06:39):
and I can't find them. So I already have like
other ridiculous toys as they as they come to market,
and so I'm just like looking for like this is
like my golden standard. Now on a you brought in
a great addition to the office earlier this week from Funco.
There it's a bubble head set. I didn't know that
was Funco. Yeah, Funko makes bubble heads. I had no

(07:01):
idea didn't make something. Yeah, they make a lot of toys.
And your bubble headset is DeAndre Jordan's traded Los Angeles
Clippers Center and DJ Khaled on the same platform. There's
a DJ stand. DeAndre seems to be dunking over it,
and then DJ Kalett is holding a cell phone towards him,

(07:21):
assuming such an upstairs. My roommate left it when he
moved out, and I was like, this is not going
with me. So you brought it in to share with
the rest of us, and we truly truly appreciate it. Also, uh,
it is clearly designed by DJ Kale. This is the
most flattering depiction of anyone I've ever he lost like

(07:41):
eighty pounds and heights down. Certainly that would be a
great bubble. But he would never do that. He brags
about it. The only place he could possibly do that,
Riley would is something you think is under it, Uh, empathy.

(08:04):
Empathy is underrated. Dot to do overrated, I'll do overrat overrated.
I think I think we're done with Internet comments. I
think we can be done with them completely. I just
I think there's like there's no good to be found,
and it's always someone who like didn't read the article,
and it just like I was writing about a TV
show that had controversy around it, and I like mentioned
the controversy in my oppost to say, like, hey, I'm
not going to focus on this because it's like it
would be the entire piece if I did so, I'm

(08:25):
gonna talk about other stuff instead. But don't think that
I don't think it's important. It's just not what this
piece is about. And then every comment is about the
controversy and like like giving arguments that I like, I
didn't take a position either way. I just felt like
this is too big of a thing that it would
take over the article I wrote about it, so I'm
not going to touch it. And then it was like
everyone has their bullet points against it, and I'm like,
that's I'm not in this fight, like what are you doing?

(08:46):
Like it's just it's just like there's some weird thing
people have where they just have to put things out.
The good example, and I'm sure you guys talked about
on the show when it had happened, but the whole
thing with Ruby rose As as Batwoman, and also you
know the article that the great article came out with
Marie Tran. I've never disliked someone in a movie or
a show enough that I needed to go yell a stranger.
And the idea of like going on Twitter and like

(09:08):
tagging a person who you don't know to tell them
that you hate them because you didn't like a movie,
neighbor in or you don't like the choice of casting
is like it's fine, did not like stuff sometimes, like
just not like it and move on with your life.
And I think what happens is the Internet. I like,
I'm saying things that aren't like the most obvious detailed.
I think what happens is people get a little mad,
and they go online and they see like six other

(09:28):
people who are mad, and then those who start talking
to each other, and then they get madder and matter
and then like they like ten when people come in
and the next thing, you know, it's like this rage
engine where it's like we're all piste together, but it's
like and then I don't think people realize like this
is a very very small fraction of this actual thing,
but it gets so loud and vocal that you just
keep feeding it. And Corporate America we call that synergy.
Really and uh yeah, no Internet comments. That was a

(09:50):
really frustrating thing for me when I was working at
a website is that the higher ups would be like,
look how many comments, and then they would read the
comments and act like that was everybody's opinion. And it's
really frustrating. It happened when you know, we talked the
New Doctor when it came out, Like I remember there
was like a YouTube video and someone's like, say, look
how much story to put the fan base the up

(10:11):
and down both in this video or half and half?
And I'm like, but people go on YouTube just to
be garbage people, so you can't use it as a
cross section of your culture. Role. Yeah, it's Truer's like,
if you're ready to leave a comment on something, you're
ready to fight someone it feels like yeah. And if
you're not just going to be like, hey, I feel
moderate about this all right by yeah, And if you're
happy about something, you might post like yeah, that's a
great but you're not gonna have a rant about it.

(10:32):
Like the amount of times that I've just seen like
a wall of text, and then someone at the end
of that wall text will feel like you need to
calm down, like you you wrote this thing? How did
you How do you get off telling me to calm down? Yeah,
I say, as I'm currently ranting on the internet about something,
just vocally, but I think curated and my voice approved exactly.
You are approved. Also, popularity makes something like I feel

(10:58):
like this is left out and it's time. An article
even travels really well and you know millions and millions
of people read it that will have the most negative
comments because it's reaching a wider audience that it is
not necessarily designed for. And so when a movie like
Star Wars comes out and there are a bunch of
negative comments and people are like, wow, there's such backlash,

(11:20):
it's like no, it's just so popular that literally everyone
in America is reacting to it, and some of them
are going to be angry assholes. Yeah, that's good. Underrated
I think I think Star Wars Last Jedi is very underrated.
I think it's being like lampooned, is like the worst
thing that ever happened to Star Wars, and I think
it's fantastic. I think it's a great movie. Yeah, I
think if I feel like it's getting a new life
on Netflix, so that'll be my underrated. It's on Netflix, Yeah,

(11:46):
I know nothing, Yeah, yeah it is. It's it's recently.
I think it's like last month or so. Myth Last
Jedi is not on Netflix. What what is your myth?
It was it? Go? No, I was saying, very upset, Um,
my myth is done today. I I that was like
I was getting yelled at to think about my myth.

(12:07):
My myth was. I think people don't know that close
captioning is still done by humans. I think people think
that all closed captioning is done by a computer. And
I don't think. No, it's because I work in it
a little bit for a career, and I think people
don't know that, like, no, no, we actually have someone
to transcribe most audio. Like I think everyone thinks that
it's all voice recomnection soft. Yeah, I did that for
a while. I did transcribing for documentaries. Yeah, it's not great,

(12:27):
but it's great. It's great pay, but it's not great.
There there's different different methods of it. Like if it's
a live show, it's probably someone who either is like
a report type person who can go really fast, or
they even use a steno mask and they actually speak.
They's like say what's being said on screen. Or if
it's like a prerecorded thing, then there's actually a whole
process where someone will like actually take time to type
it out and then time it in and format it
and stuff like that. There's actually like really rigid rules

(12:47):
about it till like there's like FCC has like trew
super strict rules about what has to be done if
it's going to be broadcast on TV. Oh, I was
always very old and analog. I would listen, type it
out all really fast, then go back and like correct
every word I spelled. That's what that's what we do. Yeah,
we usually go through a video at least three times
before it's like and then somebody else reviews that person's
work before it's done. I'm so intellectually in curious I've

(13:10):
never I've watched live shows with the close captioning on,
just because I like to know what people said, and
sometimes I don't totally understand, and I've never asked the
question like, oh, how are they doing that? But the
mask makes sense. I've gotten really into the habit of
watching almost every show that I watched with subtitles on
because oh yeah I do too. People mutter and people
like it's just great. And also if you're at a

(13:31):
party and you have it on, like if you I
got a watch party for a show and people are
making jokes and stuff, which is great and part of
the fun. Sometimes it's a good way to happen to
not go wait, you go back what they say, Like, Yeah,
I watched a lot of like deep Northern England British
crime dramas. Yeah, yea. Honestly, I watched the first season
in Peaky Blinders. I was like, I kind of get it,
and then I watched again with subtitles and I was like,

(13:52):
I know every plot point, yeah, like I understand the script. Yeah,
I that's I think. Like to go back to Dr
Who again. I think that in the new series. I
think a lot of people are gonna need subtitles because
Jodi was using her old an English accent as part
of it. So the biggest change I ever had while
watching subtitles, Inherent Vice is almost an incomprehensible movie without

(14:13):
sudden you know what, I can tell you something. It's
because Joaquin Phoenix is that his name? He whisper acts right,
so he's like but it's like he's like a mumblecore
billy built and you're like, can we at least turn
that up a little audio track? They're like, no, no, no,
that's his specialty. So you really just just try. Apparently

(14:33):
it's really hard to act with him. Yeah. I have
friends who have had to act with him and they're like,
what's that come again? Uh? Yeah? But I liked it
a lot better when I knew what everyone was saying.
All right, let's listen to what the president had to
say on Fox News. Let's get ready. Did you know
about the payments later on? I knew later on, But

(14:56):
you have to understand names like what he did, and
they weren't taken out of campaign finance. That's a big thing.
That's a much bigger thing. Did they come out of
the campaign. They didn't come out of the campaign. They
came from me, and I tweeted about it. You know,
I put, I don't know if you know, but I
tweeted about the payments. But they didn't come out of campaign.
In fact, my first question when I heard about it

(15:18):
was did they come out of the campaign, because that
could be a little dicey, And they didn't come out
of the campaign, and that's big. But they weren't. That's
not a it's not even a campaign violation. If you
look at President Obama, he had a massive campaign violation,
but he had a different attorney general and they viewed

(15:40):
it a lot different. If you took a shot every
time he said campaign, you would blackout. You would be dead. Um.
In addition to the Sakata's whining in the background, that
signaled the coming of one of the the way to
know that he's lying is because he's just like jumping around.
I mean, I granted he usually jumps around, but it's

(16:01):
just I mean, does does he seem credible to you?
Can you say that the fact that your your go
to defense now is oh, I paid out on my
own account and not campaigns, Like at this point, like
you're just grasping it, like what's the least incriminate anything
I can say. He's not even at this point able
to say it didn't happen anymore. And now he has
to say, like, no, I personally paid for the hush
money to benefit my own campaign, Like that's still not

(16:22):
previously said I didn't know about So I mean, does
he see incredible to me? Yes? Today, Today is the
day that he lost credible. He's got me and I
just you know what, I was really rooting for him
and now so at the end there you hear him
turning to the subject of his Attorney general Jefferson Ball
Regald decisions and uh, acting as if he didn't hire

(16:48):
Jefferson Ball Regald Sessions, and as if Sessions wasn't the well,
not the first person in his corner, but the first
person who hasn't been indicted in the past couple of
weeks in his corner, actually the third person who who
backed Trump. You know what I hate the most about
Trump is that I have to feel in any way
defensive towards jeff The thing I hate this guy so

(17:09):
much is how many times he's made me want to
be like rooting for like like when I had his
heart rooting for James. Call me on, Like, are you
a thin kidding me right now? Like I don't want
to root for call me Yeah. The fact that this
racist elf gets to take the moral high road is
very frustrating. But yeah, he said I will not I
say I will not be influenced by politics in response

(17:31):
to start this morning, yeah, saying that you know, what
kind of man is this? That's what he said. What
kind of man is this that he said about Trump? No,
Trump said that about man, which Trump is really good
at taking the words out of people's mouths that they
would say about Trump and just like saying it about
somebody like you know what, I'm rubber here. I mean

(17:52):
he's calling for you know, you know, uh, he's a
king of projection. Yeah, yes, I mean that. That's the
whole famous thing is that whatever he talks about, you
can find a tweet of him saying the opposite from
like four years ago. I know, when he tweets so much,
it's like when he goes, well I tweeted about It's
like sure, but we can find that and then find
another tweet where you contradicted yourself and then put them together.

(18:13):
And when he says I tweeted about it, like, that's
just come on, it's all as the president. You can
look through my log of tweets, yeah and find literally anything. Also,
just the tweeting about this and also playing at midnight
hashtags had some really great jokes about putting I don't know,

(18:34):
spinach into a movie. I don't know was that that
was a bad example, but we're doing it. Maybe the
best example of him being the king of projection is
this tweet that people have been sending our way ever
since we talked about his diet coke obsession, where he tweeted,
like five years ago, I've never seen a thin person
drink diet coke. It's like, dude, you drink nine a day? Like, what,
why are you talking about? People? It was still doing

(18:57):
one liner jokes, Yeah, exactly, Open Mike Night. Uh so,
David still I think he's not still doing it now? Right?
Um so? Sad? Said? David Pecker said, Uh, he is
the publisher of National Enquirer, US weekly now just all

(19:17):
the tabloids. He's got a tabloid empire, and he has
been homies with Trump four years and we've been talking
about this. We've been onto this motherfucker from Jump Street guys. Yeah,
he's just been doing Trump's bidding, basically publishing Trump propaganda. Uh.
And now he's been granted immunity because he knows Jump Ship.

(19:40):
He jumped Ship. That's the greatest thing about these guys
is they will all literally just push each other under
a bus. Like He'll get to a point where Trump
will push himself under a bus and not realize he
just did it. Like he just don't care. I did
you guys? Did y'all see um the Death of Stalin movie?
And this is exactly what it is. All these guys
now is like scooting themselves around the statue. Yeah, I
love actually with him. Yeah, it doesn't really remind you

(20:02):
of that. And finally, uh, Michael Cohen, his lawyer Lonnie Davis,
is out here just like I'm just gonna read what
he said. Michael Cohen knows information that would be of
interest to the Special Counsel regarding both knowledge about a
conspiracy to corrupt American democracy by the Russians and the
failure to report that knowledge to the FBI. So he's

(20:23):
basically like, yeah, this is specifically what he knows, come
talk to us. And apparently that sounded intriguing because they
subpoenaed him on Wednesday. And also we we have a
clip from Lonnie Davis talking about how Michael Cohen needs
the American people's help, and we at the time that
he said that had assumed that that just meant, like,

(20:45):
you know, he needs public opinion to turn in his
favor and against Trump. So here, we're gonna play that
clip real quick. Can he implicate the president in other crimes?
I don't know yet, that's Stephanopolo. I know that he
needs help from American people who have invested interest in
avoiding a president who commits crimes and denies Russian interference

(21:08):
what we already failed to avoid that. Okay, Also, just
why would we not know that if somebody is asking
for help from the American people on behalf of Michael Cohen,
they're clearly talking about money. Uh So there's actually a
Kickstarter or you know, go fund me page for Michael
Cohen for the American people to crowdfund his uh, you know,

(21:32):
truth telling. I'm not even sure what to take that,
because why that's like, I'm sorry to be a white
man must be the greatest thing in the world to
be Like, well, now you give me money and I
give you yeah, which might not actually even happen, because
who knows what this presidency, anything can happen. Literally, they're

(21:52):
asking for a bribe. I don't know, like, hey, if
you give me this money, I might do the right thing.
Who knows. They had a pretty a case against president
right here, be a shame of something happens. If something
happened to the truth. What do we expect from an
attorney named Lonnie? Why does every single person have a
name in this in this whole storyline have a name

(22:15):
that if you pitched them into a movie, they go
change the name. It's literally like a current day Johnny
Grisham now Johnny Grisham on Super Tight. I was always
a big fan of John Gristmas period pieces. All Right,
we're gonna take a quick break, we'll be right back,

(22:44):
and we're back, And apparently it's Lanny Davis. Were mispronouncing it,
so it's Laurel Davis, right, it does sound like Yanny.
So I just wanted to be a huge bummer. But
I was listening to the Rational Security podcast, which is
really good podcast with like four different national security experts
talking about stuff that wouldn't have occurred to me just

(23:05):
reading the regular news, and they made the point that
our current situation, you know, having one just an inexperienced president,
to a president who doesn't like back down when he
clearly should in his cornered and three a president who
is almost definitely facing the most dire consequences to his reputation,

(23:27):
which is the thing he cares the most about and
less importantly to him to his family. It's a lot
of fun and very exciting, but it's really bad for
all of us in the United States. I think just
the fact that he's you know, he's already an unstable person.
He's in he's being backed into a corner um. We

(23:51):
don't really get the consequences of his actions as the
leader of the United States because the one skill that
he has is the ability to manipulate the idea into
not really paying attention to the consequences of his crimes
and lies and sort of not giving them the full
throated treatment they would be given if literally any other

(24:11):
politician did them. The consequences and the high stakes of
having a president who's just a constant and extraordinary funk
up is not I don't know, it's just not apparent
to us, and I don't know, it's a really unstable
world out there. We're at a very important time in
the history of our nation's role within that world. It

(24:35):
just seems, I don't know, like we're I had totally
lost track of that. I've just been focusing on the
consequences of the and there's nothing to do about it.
It's just it's something that I guess is worth keeping
in mind. I just realized Trump's life is full circle
because one, he was probably raised by a father who
always told him he was a fucking idiot, and now
he's president, and all we're doing is tell him he's

(24:56):
a fucking idiot, and then he's taking it back out
on us. Right now is no end when he's like
there's there's like an evilness to his idiocy as well,
Like it's not just that he's inept and he's an idiot,
Like he's just good enough at doing the one thing
he wants to do, which is dismantle our country. Like
he keeps appointing people two positions of of the highest
power over a thing that they don't want to exist,

(25:18):
like like like Devoce is the best example of someone
who like doesn't really believe in public education, and like
doesn't really like believe in the right to everybody to
a fair and equal school system, and like she's just
tearing it apart. All right, Let's take a moment to
hear a word from Fox News as it relates to
the minimum wage and their thoughts on how that should

(25:41):
be treated. The minimum wage is the low. It's a
low temporary wrung. You're not supposed to hang out there
and that, and especially at restaurants. The big problem with
restaurants is turnover because everybody in New York is an
actor or an actress, so they they're just working on
tips anyway, so that you don't need the high minimum
wage there, and they don't plan on raising a family.

(26:01):
Uh huh, So people who work on minimum wage don't
plan on raising a family, right, I think I think
that's a straightforward a to be a line of reasoning.
But yeah, I hate it attitude so much. I don't
think that there could be a better encapsulation of Fox
News is just attitude and myopia and just misunderstanding of

(26:26):
the American people than that. The idea that every single
server at every restaurant is an actor. It's just like
it's maybe ten or less, and it just seems like
there's a lot you're probably eating at the very expensive
restaurants that are like in the lobby of the Fox
News building. And then you're like and you're like, oh,
I know, I know all about the struggling and working
class because all my hoity toity rich places that people

(26:46):
kissed my aunts are all working. And also actors and
actresses don't raise families. Is that that's such a strange.
Poor people just want to be poor. Yeah, And it's
also like a lot of people working these jobs are
people who like, like the whole thing in the campaign,
what I know, I know, we kind of moved on
a little bit. It was all about all these coal

(27:07):
mining jobs are going, all these manufacturing jobs are gone,
all these jobs are gone. And then so like where
do you think those people who didn't have those jobs went?
They went into the service industry. And so a lot
of this life like not everyone who works in a
fast food place is a teenager like saving money for college.
And you know what, fine, make that the rule. Then
make a minimum wage. That is, if you're over eighteen,

(27:27):
you make this. If you're sixteen to seventeen. You make
this like do that then, and that's your legit concern.
Make that the law. And then then if so, if
somebody is an adult and they are trying to like
feed their family on their minimum wage job, they should
be able to make enough money for the minimum wage
for the area. Yeah, that would be controlled by the
polit Burrow or whatever. Come on, Riley, this isn't communist.

(27:49):
Well that's the thing is, if you're working these jobs,
it doesn't mean you're not trying to move up in
any way, right, Well, how the fund are you supposed
to move up in any way if you're not working
like It's just it's such a defeatist sort of Yeah,
just the most elitist viewpoint by a network who just

(28:10):
decries the rest of the world for being elitist. And
I guess some man when he's still like if someone
like will post like a misspelled sign and they go,
this person wants to make this much money in our
like so because they're dumber than you, they don't or
like less educated, I should say, they don't deserve to
feed their family. Like that's like even more, why the
people who were at this job and these are the
jobs they can get should be able to make a
living doing it. Yeah, you think that's that's a crazy idea.

(28:35):
All right, let's talk about the most sexist places in America.
Turns out the northeast and the western states of the
United States are the least sexist places in America, and
the southeast are some of the most sexist, in Arkansas
in particular. This is based on a study where they

(28:57):
asked eight questions, such as women should take care of
running their home and leave running the country up to men,
and a working mother can establish just as warm and
secure relationship with her children as a mother who does
not work. So it's not super surprising that, you know, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas,
West Virginia, these are the states with the most sort

(29:20):
of I guess, conservative, old old timey views on those questions.
They did say that the findings don't really follow a
red blue state line thing like Wyoming and Alaska were
among the least sexist states, even though they tend to
be reliably Republican, whereas Democratic strongholds like Illinois and New

(29:42):
York end up being in the middle of the pack.
So it's not just a straightforward red state blue state thing.
But also like red blue beliefs don't really follow state
lines anymore. They follow more urban rural divides, so we
should see it's a big thing of how who parents are,
because if you're just you know, like I was raised

(30:03):
by a mom who worked a lot, so I immediately
was like, hey, I can work a lot and do
what I want. But then there's also women who who
are raised by parents like I'm not saying my mom
didn't like being a mom, but it was definitely kind
of like, yeah, i'll get to you. That sounded really sad,
but it was like she she had her priorities, which
was like I'm working to make money and then you
guys can live a nice, comfortable life. It was more

(30:26):
about you know, giving us what we needed versus like
trying to like, you know, actually like cooked dinner for us.
You know. So I think it's like, you get this
world where women can have both where you're like I
want to be a good mother and I also want
to work because you're raised that way. But then there's
also people who are raised thinking, you know, like I
don't necessarily need to work and I can still raise

(30:46):
my family and not feel like there's any sort of
sexism in my house because I'm the person who cooks
and cleans. So it's kind of interesting divide like that
we shouldn't necessarily be like you're being oppressed because you're
at home taking care of the kids, because at times
it's just like that's how they were raised and that's
who they are. Like I'm just a more maternal person.
I don't really care to go have a job. I

(31:08):
just want to actually raise and take care of my
home because that's where my interests are. Should we call
it sexist or more traditional? You know, yeah, I guess traditional.
It's it's kind of a weird thing because sometimes it
is where it's like, oh, you just really aren't allowed
to speak up, right, And that's such a hard thing
to determine whether it's people who really value their role

(31:29):
in these more traditional, you know, communities, or they you know,
I just don't feel comfortable speaking up because everybody around
them seems to value it. And also I think it's
worth questioning, like, well, why do you value that? And
it's like were you raised in a way that makes
you believe that not valuing that as a sin? And
then like I gets into like a weird like gray
area of like, well, are you now persecuting their religious

(31:52):
freedom by be telling them they're wrong to think that way.
It's like, for me, it's all about education. Like, I
just think that the more you educate people, the more
they can make antchous choices about what they do and
don't get to do. But lots of things. I think
being a parent, you have to be like, you have
the right to choose, You have to like learn what
your interests. Aren't you make the decision of what you
want to do. So I always I feel like it

(32:12):
comes down to who your role models are, because your
mom can still be someone who stays at home and
just be like, hey, it's up to you. You don't
have to have kids right away, you don't have to
get married. You can go off and do what you want.
But education is a huge variable in terms of how
much you value education. And a lot of times, you know,
when you choose to have children is directly related to

(32:35):
you know how much you value education. So I mean,
it's just one of these things. And they found that
sexism in a woman's state of birth and in her
current state of residents both lower her wages and likelihood
of labor force participation and lead her to marry and
bear her first child sooner. But I I guess that
I said Mary and barry for a second Mary and

(32:56):
barry her first time. And I guess the fact that
even if you are born in Tennessee and moved to
New York City, it's still like has an effect on you.
That's just the cultural context and that cling to these
different regions of the country are so deeply entrenched. We

(33:19):
we talked before on the show about this book The
Eleven Nations of America, where they broke America out into
these eleven different regions and they're based on who settled
them hundreds of years ago, but those values still hold
in those different and you can like look at the
voting patterns and it just like makes sense of the country.

(33:41):
Like one of the interesting things is Appealachian people tend
to be distrustful of the government and want to live
off the grid, and that can be seen because they
were settled by people on the borderlands of like Ireland
and Scotland, where people were constantly getting a ship kicked
out of them by you know, England and the monarchy.
And then you know New York versus Boston is a

(34:02):
big rivalry, and New England was settled by religious zealous
from England and New York are these like Dutch capitalists
who were like influential in the slave trade. And so
there are these big differences that I think we don't
give a lot of credit. And I think that ties
directly into into this study. I want to read that

(34:23):
more of that I've always read. I've heard the ideas
of like the nations that break up America, but I
like the history. I'm from Ohio and we've always had
like a huge rivalry with Michigan. And like it's easy
to go, yeah, it's just a college thing, it's like whatever,
but like it's been trenched in history, and a lot
of it's over, like like there was the Battle of
Toledo or the two states like flought over who got
to have Toledo, and like that's part of why. And
in California we go to music festivals and where like

(34:44):
Native American garb and like celebrate that way and like
dance like cool e d M. Like that's our vibe
over here, right, That's that's our history. Is taking things
naive Americans and making it into a party. They don't.
They don't get to enjoy from Thanksgiving to music festival.
But yeah, with regards to Michigan and Ohio, I forget

(35:07):
what Ohio is. I think it's German settlers. Ohio is
a weird mix because we're kind of half Appalachian and
then half like that German thing. Like I'm in Columbus
where I'm from, there's like there's the German village and
there's like a lot like there's like shular parks like
there is like but like it's also like the northern
Ohio area is like kind of in between Chicago and

(35:28):
New York, so it's like as people. So it's like
whenever you look at like we're dialects and stuff spread out,
there's like three dialects and horizontal. Yeah, the country is
horizontally striped. And that's because basically a bunch of Germans
come to the East coast and they settle and they
learned how to farm like in that temperature and in
those seasons, and then they just spread horizontally across the

(35:49):
country because they're teaching, you know, people who are their
offspring how to farm in that way. But yeah, Ohio
is really interesting because it breaks out between three, it's
Greater Appalachia, it's what he calls the Midlands, which is
mostly Germans, and then northeastern corner of Ohio is Yankee Doom,

(36:11):
which is the same as like Massachusetts, and it's also
Michigan is the same as Massachusetts, is the same as
northern New York. Yeah, and that's why, like like yeah,
like if you love it's like the way the accent goes,
Like the Cleveland accent is almost exactly between the New
York accent and the Chicago accent. So yeah, you get
a little bit of that like bears kind of thing
going on, but it's Brown's Brown's but they also have

(36:32):
that like that more like New York vibe. Like that's
weird how much? Because my dad is from northern Ohio.
Well he was born in Missouri but raised in Cleveland.
My mom's family is from Appalachia. So I'm like this
weird like bastard child in the middle to where like
people in Ohio didn't know they have they have people
in Columbus, where I grew up, thought I was from
a different area because they couldn't cipher my dialect because
I had such a weird mixture of accents, and people

(36:55):
when I moved from New York to southern Ohio thought
I was from England because of the way I talked.
They were like, why do you say that like that?
What was your accent line? I don't know. I guess
they said. I said like a bay say day Okay,
it's very weird. I don't know that that's how it

(37:16):
sounded to Ohio. I don't know spoken of British. British
I always was always saying cheer. Maybe I was just
an affected child. I used to wear Union Jack te
shirt a bunch of assels. Uh. So, let's talk about
the seventy two hours at Male Feminism Camp. So I

(37:40):
found this article. I was just scrolling through my classic
L magazine. I wasn't but I did find it online
when I was looking through UM something about clothing, and
then this article like picked up and so the first
I read the first line and I was like, Oh,
here we go. And it said forty of America's woke
as men are sitting in a circle on a mountaintop
in Ohio. I would have That's what I said. I

(38:03):
wrote down at the first line of this article makes
me want to kill myself. But you know then I
was like, you know what, calm down, read through, see
what's actually happening, because you know, it sounds like a
good idea, but it is also a program that you
pay eight hundred dollars to do. So it is just
the most elite of men, you know, I imagine just
there's no photos, but I just imagine they all had

(38:23):
like quif hair cuts. They're all like head of like
tech companies or something like that. They go to this
camp and they spend an entire week learning from like
top like women authors who write on feminism and more,
you know, stuff like that, and and they just learn
to express themselves. And it is truly it felt like

(38:46):
it wasn't necessarily the greatest thing because it creates more
of this divide I feel because when you create this
level of men who are the elite, who are the
wokest men there is, it doesn't help. I don't think.
I think that's what like, literally, when the right goes
like only you're all elites, it's like, oh, we're actually
just kind of creating that stereotype that they're there. They

(39:09):
think themselves as the focus man, or is the person
writing the article put that in his flavor. That's that
is like the vibe that they're like learning that they are.
It was a woman who wrote the article. She was
the only woman. There was no women allowed except for
the speakers who go in. And the way she was
describing the men is that they were the most in

(39:29):
touch with their feelings of any man she'd ever come across,
and they were saying things that were like as I
was able to like find myself and be able to
like see the other men around me for what they were,
and that I was really learning about myself. It was
a lot of where you're like, okay, we'll slow down.
There's a lot of your feminist camp. It's like now
I finally see other men as humans. Now I am

(39:51):
all My feminism is perfect. It was. It's a strange
thing because I feel like this, while it is good
for men to you know, talk about things, be you know,
less like hey, I can't talk with my feelings because
a man is a man. And then we you know,
we're strong and we keep it. We're serious and we
have our aggression and we're alpha's. It's like that, you know,

(40:11):
obviously it's not the thing, but I also feeah, yeah,
it's also thinking it's like this should be more retreats
and OHI the way to kill it. Yeah, even the
idea of the alpha is not a real dynamic. Like
the guy who wrote that, like that they took that
they got the idea of alpha's and betas from Like
the guy who created that argument has debunked it since

(40:32):
then and been like, oh, we studied wolves, we like
we weren't we studying wolves in captivity where they were
actually they were behaving the way humans what if they
were imprisoned, whereas like in the wild, wolves operate as
a cooperative family unit. And so it's weird that we're
still so stuck on this idea of like alpha males
and like men think they have to be alpha males
and they based it on like, oh, I'm trying of
like nature, but like that is all not real. Yeah,

(40:55):
that's a really good myth because buy because when that
guy came out against it, then people were calling him, Ay,
it's like it was he created um. But yeah, because
America loves to elevate the individual over the group, Like
they will do that at the cost of you know, anything, basically,
and you know that's why Steve Jobs is given credit

(41:17):
for being like this genius visionary behind Apple. It's like
he stole most of his things. He just like made
was working with a lot of really smart people and
was mean enough to get them all to work together.
But we need these ingenious visionaries. That's like it started
with like the cult of George Washington, which was a
literal like what they used to call it, and then

(41:38):
the idea that the wokest is like, like to go
back to your point, like I think that like that's
not getting the point of being quoe unquote woke. It's
like it's it's like when people go, oh, I'm a
good person, it's like, well, now that you've said that,
like we can't go and we can't go forward because
when you've convinced yourself that you're good, like you have
a block on learning new things or trying to Like

(41:58):
I can't tell you how many people I've been looking
discussions with that aren't arguments, but like we'll be like
talking about like well it's just looking it from this
point of view, and they go it's it's it's the
whole like I'm not racist, but I'm not sexist or
I'm not like so it's like Okay, Like, let's get
past this idea that we're attacking your your personality or
your qualities a human being and think of it more

(42:19):
as like we're part of a society that has these flaws,
and we're all flawed because of it. And like it's
seems like I'm not like if you go, I'm the wokest,
Like you're not understanding what is actually about. It's about
always trying to be like if you go, I'm a
good person, great, but like, no one's a good person.
I mean, if you just sit around and I'm a
good person, like it's the game should not be I'm good,

(42:41):
it's all. It should always be how can I be better?
How can I be more empathetical? And that's why I
feel like it shouldn't just be this campus should be
this should be our every day discourse, Like we should
be talking to everyone, like parents should be talking to
their children's schools. We should acknowledge that these are issues
in our lives versus just like being like, well, if
you have nine dollars, you can go to a camp
and no hi, and they don't teach you how to
be a feminist. Although good on these women for making

(43:03):
this up her head camp and like making bank off
these you know what these dudes, you know what they need?
At least it's not taught by like men only son,
My guys, let me tell you a little thing about women.
Thank you for filling in the my guy. Ladies and

(43:23):
ladies this way they hate it when So the point
is only rich people are allowed to be woke. Okay,
so stop trying to be forever. But yeah, just as
like I know, everything is the most ignorant thing you
could possibly say, Like you know, because the more you learn,
the more you realize you don't know the I think

(43:45):
the same as true for ethics and morals, Like the
better you think you are, the probably more work to
annoying you are, right, Alright, let's take a quick break

(44:06):
and we're back. So super producer on Hosnia. Well we
have you as super co host on Hosnia. I wanted
to hear your thoughts on Saudi Arabia. I have many
thoughts on satur Abias. So if you guys remember recently
we touched on it, how Saudi Arabia has gone to
a little Twitter spat with Canada over women's rights. And

(44:27):
this has all started because Saudi Arabia imprisoned a few
female activists, some that were connected to Canada, and Canada
kind of called it out on Twitter and this led
to Saudi Arabia getting very upset and then basically shutting
down all this, basically making a lot of threats towards Canada.
And while they were doing all this and being like
Canada has all these women's rights issues, they don't, you

(44:48):
know there, there's no human rights there whatever, just making
very crazy claim Saudi Arabia. While you know, mbs A
k Ibs, Mohammed Ben Salmon, he um, he's the current
crown parents. People are saying, wow, he's so progressive. He's
letting women drive. Women are now allowed to go see
like sports games and and whatnot in Saudi Arabia. They

(45:10):
all have rights. Movies are now in Saudi Arabia. Oh
my god, the work he's done. The man is literally
still imprisoning female activists and now Istra al gon Ham
she is facing execution for her work as a female
activist in Saudi Arabia. So I just want to make

(45:31):
it clear that a lot of what this man has done,
mbs A k ib S, he is, he's creating a
facade that he's a progressive, but at the same time,
what he really wants is to maintain his powerhold while
creating this like propaganda of who he is and consolidating
all this power in the background that we don't really
see as much because you know, a lot of mainstream

(45:53):
media does not report on news in the Middle East,
which is why you can listen to my podcast Ethnically
Ambidios on the house. Stuff works at work. Last episode
of Ethnically Ambiguous is so fucking good. And the problem
also with Saudi Arabia is that none of these countries
are going to step to Saudi Arabia because one oil,
A lot of their political allies are like France, England,
the U, s U. S. Would never touch that because,

(46:15):
like I believe Myles told me yesterday, they have a
bunch of our money was given to us by Saudi
araber There's some credit situation there that if Saudi Arabia
really wanted to screw us over, they could. A lot
of our money for weapons are sold into Saudi Arabia.
We get like two fifty million dollar deals where we
sell them weapons. So we're deeply tied into Saudi Arabia. Also,

(46:38):
I do want to point out that this, for how
progressive they claim they are, they do execution by sword,
which is that's their method of death penalty. They have
not moved on from that. They truly believe if you
are to be executed, you are killed by sword. People.
This is that it's so archaic, I can't even move

(46:59):
it's it's heartbreaking. So the execution does not have an
exact date yet. Um it still requires authorization by mbs
A k Ibs, so it probably um won't happen until
later in the year. So I will definitely be keeping
an eye on that because I just I can't move
on from how horrible a person m B s A

(47:20):
k ib S really is and in this whole facade
they're putting on, I do think more light needs to
be shown on their behavior and what they're doing in
our connection to the country, us to Saudirebia. That makes sense,
it's this is horribly sad. So you're saying this cult
of personality that he's trying to build up around himself
is not innocent and he's actually a bad person. He's

(47:42):
a thirty year old in power, way too much power,
and he wants that power so badly that if you're
a woman and you step to him, he doesn't give
a ship. Have you by sword? Yeah, he must to
make that brutal example of you. Yeah, he doesn't care.
And also, just so you know, women who have fought
to drive this whole time, the actual female activists, they're

(48:04):
all still in jail. They're not being led out. This
only really applies to this new laws. If you come
from a prominent family with money. It's all about prominence there.
They don't If you're a poor person, they're not. They
don't care about you. What's that like. It's not good.
They will put you in jail for having an opinion.
It's not good. There's you know, these are little steps,

(48:26):
but it doesn't help what's really going on behind the
scenes in this country. And it's like another country that
reminds me it's like things are going real bad. Alright,
let's strap into the Google stream to do a trend skim.
Right now, what do people give a shit about? It
seems like it's a it's a time for things coming

(48:48):
to an end. Ben afflex Bender is coming to an end.
He was driven to rehab by his ex wife Jennifer
Garner shout out to lung suffering wives of funk up
husbands and vice versa. But she because she stopped at
Jack in the Box on the way let him have
a little Jack in Box before he went away. What's

(49:09):
better for a hangover than Jack in the Box? For
people who don't live in Jack in the Box regions,
It's just a great greasy fast food restaurant that has
some of the best deep fried tacos out there. Um
big bank. Yeah, they It's like they dropped them in
a fryer, which is how things become deep fried. That

(49:29):
has been science our let's mythbust that big Bang theory
is coming to an end. Uh. These are all things
that are like in the top five trending things on
Google over the past couple of days. But Jim Parsons
is apparently the reason why this tends to happen with
sitcoms where you know Jim Parsons. Yeah, Jim Parsons ends them.

(49:53):
He's like a sitcom executioner. No, but his his career
is it seems to exist outside of the show. So
he's the one who decides to end it. The rest
of the stars are heartbroken. And yeah, America is also heartbroken.
I am not a fan. I'm not, but I also
like people enjoy it. They enjoy it for them. I

(50:14):
also feel it's so deep in syndication. It's not like
the shows where I feel like you're watching it like
is this a new one. It's also there's a point
I I like the show. I'm not trying to shoot
on you, um, but you're an awful person. No, I
just think like, how many times can you want? Like
I like Time at Your Mother, but I could have
done without like several of those seasons. And I feel like,

(50:35):
I mean, like, I think I think it was fine
to end when it did. I think Friends was fine
to I think there. I think that every I don't
want anyone who's working on a thing, who depends on
the things for livelihood, to lose their job. But I
also feel like, if you've been on this show for
this long, you've probably got some some money saved up
at this point. But that's for me. I like the
British TV model of we kind of just tell the
story I want to tell when me get out, Like
I know, like the Good Place, which I love, I

(50:57):
thought it was always planned to be three seasons and
it apparently he's had like, no, like at least up
to seven seasons in his head of what he can
do with the good place. And at the point in
my head, I'm like, I kind of wish you would
just do one more things to be done with it
as much like that show. Like, but then again, I'm
also someone who when when book nine nine was canceled
by Flox, I was like furious. I was like, no,
we need more book nine nine. So it's just so

(51:17):
such a comforting show to let wash over your brain
nine nine. But anyways, Jim Parsons, you're putting a lot
of people's family in a very bad spot. Ye, Jim
Parson Urban Meers, We don't cover a lot of sports
stuff on this podcast. Well, I'm in a Higo State
alumni and so this is like, I guess there's a
certain point where like I'm just like, it's it's hard

(51:38):
to say you're from Ohio State anymore because like there's
always a scan, there's always something happened. It really is.
And that's what happens when you have the biggest schools
in the country and you make so much of your
importance around your sports program. Right. So he's being suspended
for a whole three games, which is which is a
big deal because he basically had every reason and to

(52:01):
know that his former assistant, his wide receiver's coach, was
abusing his wife. His wife talked to Myers and Myers
wife about it and they were like, she seems like
a real drama queen. Um And apparently the dude was
a monster. There's all sorts of, as the article wrote,

(52:22):
embarrassing and promiscuous sexual behavior. I think he likes to
be very puritanical, but yeah, I guess, which isn't embarrassing.
But I'm sure if you're like the Midwest or that
high up married, they're like, how could you? How could you? Uh?
There was a conversation between Meyer and his a d
on the practice field where the athletic director was like, hey,

(52:45):
there's a bad article coming out, and then they proceeded
to talk about how to alter the settings on your
phone to delete text messages from over a year ago,
which is just Trumpian, just incompetent shade. And I've always
been waiting for the other shooter drop on this dude
because he retired from Florida, you know, had a really

(53:06):
great career at Florida, retired to you know, spend more
time with his family, and it was sort of out
of nowhere. There were like some health issues from stress,
which I totally believe. But then he took like a
couple of seasons off and then took the most difficult
and all consuming job in college football as the coach
of Ohio State. So when you're in Alpha, you're of

(53:28):
the Ohio State University. I'm sorry, Riley, I am too
were there when he was coaching? No, I'm I'm too
old for that. It was still it was the previously
was he the previous coach who was left in shame?
And finally, and maybe most importantly, guys, Jim Trussell was
the coach that I think. I think Trussell also had

(53:49):
to leave, like for negative reasons for violations of n
C double A scruiting. He was the coach when I
was a student. Guys, the Korean taekwondo team, Yes to
producer around a Hosnie, I sent this to our group
spread last night. Last night, I've seen plenty of karate videos.
I was like, what is she doing? So we had

(54:11):
to get in this morning before I finally watched it
and it is not like the other karate videos you've
seen before. No, this is amazing. Also it's taekwondo. Yeah,
but like in my dumb brain, I was like, karate video,
I've seen karate kid, what is this bullshit? So this
Korean taekwondo team does the most amazing performance where they're

(54:32):
basically they bring these like sticks that have plywood held
up very high up and then they just proceed to
defy gravity and destroy every piece of plywood, but in
the most synchronized amazing way. Yeah, they're like doing flips
through the air like you would see maybe a you
know how when cheerleaders do flips in the air, there's
like seven people standing around them throwing them into the air.

(54:55):
It's like they're doing that, but nobody's throwing them in
the air. And then at certain points as they are
flying through the air, they just like going to slow motion.
Like it's really one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Uh,
the Korean taekwondo team fucking rules. And it's to the
point that you are like, well, why isn't this just

(55:16):
all of our karate movies, Like, why isn't this all
of our action movies is just this team kicking people's
asses because it's so dope. Yeah, they should just be
hiring these guys. But apparently there's a type of martial
arts where you just like throw people around and they
just fly through the air and look like it's really
crouching tiger esque with video will be in our footnotes.

(55:40):
Please go watch it. It's wild. Yeah, that came across
your trans um on Twitter. It's got like forty to
fifty k retweets because everyone is losing their mind. So
for this, what was your favorite response to it? There's
a lot of like fifty cent telling people to go
grab the strap to shoot them if they come for you,

(56:01):
which is just funny, just like overwhelmed, like, oh that's
a great it's a great gift because it's a defeated response.
It's like like he's almost exhausted. He's like, I guess
go get the strap because we're going to have Yeah. Um,
all right, well, Riley, it's been a pleasure having you
as always. Thank you. Where can people find you? You

(56:25):
can find me on Twitter at Riley J. Silverman, and
you can keep your eye out for everything is fine
on Seaton Sparks September twelve. That sounds wonderful. And is
there a tweet that you've been enjoying? Yes, I just
I just found one because I was gonna just jokingly
do Trump's if anyone needs a lawyer, I do not
recommend us take Michael, but I'll since here. One will
be from comedian Guy Brandom, which is that when people

(56:47):
say something politically inappropriate, maybe instead of canceling them, we
should put them on hiatus for retooling then recast the
mail lead. That's great. You know Guy was our guest yesterday.
What Yeah, I didn't know that. That's crazy. That's crazy.
I wonder No, but maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow's guest or
Monday's guest will super producer A Hosni It's been a

(57:09):
pleasure having you as super co host. Where can people
find you? You know on the internet? Cool? Thank you?
And yes, I occasionally dabble in the internet. Yeah, listen
to my podcast Ethnically Ambiguous on the House Stuff Works Network.
Jack was our recent intern on an episode you might

(57:30):
enjoy us berating him. I was emotionally abused, verbally abused.
But it is really a great show. And this past episode,
your co host Treen has an incredible conversation with her mother,
as do you. You guys both have a great conversation
with her mom. Yes, her mother invites me over for dinner. Yes,

(57:51):
but it's a great show. What what what do you
guys talk about on your show? You know, just classic
Middle East news? You know what's up with Saudi Arabia?
Who does iron hate this leek? It's like the tabloids
for the Middle East with our parents every once in
a while calling in and trying to be famous. And

(58:12):
you talk about what it's like to be Middle East
person in America? Oh honey, do we ever? Oh? Girl?
You make sense of a lot of the news that
we should care about as Americans. But that yeah, you
should feel bad that you don't care about or don't
already understand. Um. And is there a tweet you've been enjoying?
So this is a tweet from Metro Juhari at tweet

(58:35):
tra Juhari. This kills me, turns out screaming, Yes, Queen, ironically,
four times a day is not a substitute for a personality. Okay,
I guess I'm headed back to the goddamn drawing board.
Love her, She's great. Queen. Yes, Queen, Yeah, I like,
how like unpassionately I said it said yes, yes Queen

(58:59):
us queen, Hello Queen. We've gotten a couple good corrections.
Apparently I engaged in a little bit of false news
as as the people call it false news because I
said that brand name like Dorito's can't be shown in
a movie without a placement deal or permission from the
trademark owner. That is not true. A person on Twitter

(59:22):
named a Mazumdar underscore I P who I am presuming
has a law degree. Uh and because they hashtagged their
post hashtag trademarks hashtag, I P law said that it's
actually optional you can show, you know, a Dorito's label.
You're just you know, taking on an additional risk. Essentially

(59:46):
making up a fake brand gives the storyteller more flexibility
because they don't have to worry about making things up
or defaming a real company, uh, or you know, just
out of an abundance of caution, which legal departments attached
to entertainment companies are very very cautious places. They do
not want to be sued. I believe also there's like

(01:00:08):
a fear of like coming across like you're actually endorsing
them like they have like a lot of companies don't
want to give like free advertising to a brand or
something like that. Right, there's also people with morals, I
guess or whenever. So thank you for that correction. And
then also Sam Palem tweeted that around bipolar disorder, given

(01:00:30):
our nuanced understanding of other mental health issues, they assumed
that we would not just imply that because the person
who ended up in the water tower in that at
Los Angeles Hotel was bipolar that like I just kind
of brought that up and was like, but turns out

(01:00:52):
they were bipolar and not. It wasn't a haunting, and
that was just sort of a shitty way to bipolar, right,
And it was kind of a shitty way to just
explain it away. And you know, yeah, I believe that's
literally how the police just were like, welcome on. It's like, okay,
but have you seen the video in the elevator. It's

(01:01:13):
the whole thing with like the um, why am I
like your name Molly Tipbots to Molly Tippots, where like, oh,
he was an immigrant, Like that's not the that's not
the focus here. Don't make that the focus. Yeah, Nuke
king Rich just said that if Molly Tibbots is a
household name by November, it's gonna be bad news for Democrats.
It's like, Wow, that is the most cynical shit I've

(01:01:35):
ever fucking heard. But anyways, God. They also pointed out
that just saying chugging it up to being bipolar suggests
that that's just what happens when you're mentally Hell, I
did not mean to imply that, So you just get
haunted for being wrong, but yeah, you get haunted. And
and that's the water tower. To this day, it just

(01:01:56):
like freaks me out so much. It's truly one of
the most interest sting, lee hauntingly just confusing stories to
have happened. Hey guys, it was locked, right, how did
she get in? She from the outside she's bipolar, Well
she was bipolar. Powers you were able to open water towers.

(01:02:16):
It makes your chaotic neutral. What you need to understand
is when you're bipolar, you have powers, your rogue. You're
just Yeah. So, in addition to those thoughtful corrections, I've
been enjoying tweets from Karen Kilgarret, who tweeted, I just
like Lacroix tweets they're like their own mind today and
I didn't one yesterday, so they're their own weird little comedy.

(01:02:39):
Hi Ku Karen tweeted, five steps into every Lacroix, I
remember that they taste like someone else's skittles burp, and
I bail. Oh, that was the one that I thought
that was yesterday. That's why I didn't use it. And
then Bob of Achan tweeted, biggest indictment of white people
is that eminem in over two decades of wrapping, has
not produced one track that's appropriate for dancing, sex, or
anything other than angrily gaming. Dan Telfer had a good

(01:03:02):
Lacroix tweet that was, um, yes, Lacroix is offensive to yes,
to you, it tastes like some plastic fruit and salted
some seltzer and aliens flu dream of real water. But
it is all that lies between me dehydration and madness.
