Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendon
Walsh from nine to one. Oh we did Trenda yesterday.
Now time for her brother Trendon. I'm Jack, that's Miles Um.
First I was like, are you talking about the comedian? Yeah?
(00:21):
Is he named after Trendon? Brendan Walsh was Brandon? Technically?
Oh yeah, if we're if we're going deep into the
nine o two one, his name was Brandon Walsh. Yeah,
Brenda and Brandon, Yeah exactly. The fucking the parents were
off their faces on drugs, probably missing that layup of
(00:41):
a naming convention for their kids. Did you go up
with people who had like wacky naming conventions for their
whole family? Oh? Brother? Did? I yea all all K sounds,
all hard case sounds, but would interact season case because
they weren't being too goofy with it. But they had
a dog named Willie that they called co Willie to
(01:04):
make sure it abided by the naming convention. The blood
um or a crip hey Willie right there, Willie crip dog?
Yeah you know. Yeah. My sister's best friend growing up
was named Chanelle. She was the fifth child in a
(01:25):
family Mormon family and they were like, Shelicia Chantelle shimber
um shimber, yeah baby, and she was the fifth so
they called her Chanelle number five, but it was God,
what dude, Shimber is violence. Shimber rules man's chimber up
(01:48):
to Chanel had world's biggest crush. She was my sister's
friend who had a crush on growing Oh yeah, shout
out to all those people, the older, older kids we
had crushes on exactly. Anyways, I'm Jack here miles, Like
I said, Dean Aton's smiles. Uh, DeAndre Ayton's name was
(02:10):
trending uh for a while, yeah because he like it
was so the Milwaukee Bucks one last night, even the
series to two. UM and Janice uh Onto Takopo had
So this is just to kind of reset everyone's mind.
(02:34):
His knee bent the wrong way, uh like a week ago,
but like were gonna have two weeks probably like so
the point that we all thought we had seen the
end of his like season, maybe like his career will
never be the same. Um, and he's out there playing,
uh playing dominating his game two and three, he put
(02:58):
up forty UM and in this game, so he the
this block was like one of those things where you
like have to watch it and then watch it at
different speeds to like try to understand what how what
happened to happen? Um? Not according to Skip Bayless, who
was like, it's not that big, wasn't that good of
(03:19):
a block? Um okay, But basically he came out to
challenge the ball handler, and so he's at the free
throw line and the ball handler throws up a lob
to DeAndre Ayton who's about to dunk it, who's just
like on the block, and Coopo goes from challenging the
lob to blocking the dunk while the balls in the air.
(03:43):
He's like, he's looking at Booker. Booker goes serving it
up and immediately he goes like okay, He's like, now
I'm in funk up the alley oop mode and turns
his head. Yeah, it's unbelievable. And you know a lot
of people now, like the old heads from you know,
My Day, are like remember Tashan Prince though, remember ta
(04:03):
Sean Prince. And I'm like, mmmmm, there's just something about
this one that is really there's I don't know, there
there's something beautiful about watching and a lot of people
point out like some you know, like Lebron's block. Lebron's
chase down blocks are amazing. This was just it's like
a different type of because he's able to go from
(04:23):
guarding one person to blocking the person they passed it
to in one like while the ball is in the air.
Like it's just not supposed to be possible, like you can.
It's one thing when you've you've basically you're you're you're
you're defending the you know, Devin Booker at the you know,
(04:45):
like free throw line, like that's where the ball is
released and then Janice is then covering the rest of
the ground from like the top of the free throw
line all the way to the basket to make a block.
It's it's poetry and motion, as as I always say, Uh,
I love to turn to someone during a game and
(05:05):
say that was poetry and motion and know what was like, dude,
I'm in line to get this twelve foot skeleton at
home depot. Man, I know, I don't know, can you
get this guy out of Fedora with a Safari flaps
into it? It's really lame poetry and motion? Am I right?
(05:27):
What my hat? Anyway? More, I think you should leave uh,
sleaking out of our brains again. Yes, I cannot stop,
will not stop. Putin is trending. This is intriguing. There's
some leaked paperwork that alleges that, uh, you know, starting
in TwixT the Russian intelligence community began working to get
(05:56):
Trump elected. Um. They call him mentally unstable and say
that it would be the best thing for Russia for
him to be elected. I think it's something we all
suspected was true. Um, but people are kind of don't
necessarily think these papers are authentic, right, I mean yeah,
I think especially like you know, the Brooklyn Dad defiant
(06:20):
Twitter accounts of the world's are loving it, you know,
because it's more just Trump Russia PP tape, you know,
fantasy ship. While most people in the intelligence world like,
if they really got this ship, this would be like
the biggest achievement from like a counter intelligence Like you
have the minutes from like a high level Putin meeting,
Like at that level, that's a huge thing to pull off. Um,
(06:44):
So a lot of people are dubious and I don't know,
I mean at this point, I think, like the compromat
stuff was interesting at the very beginning of the administration,
when I think most people are just trying to figure
out what the funk happened when really just like, no,
it's just racism. Yeah, that's that's what it was. And no,
(07:04):
man's got to be tapes, man, that's how this happened.
Depression chief to get him even more votes after he
the second time, after he had just run the country
for four years, and I got worse. I got worse.
I didn't change, I got worse. They didn't do anything, baby,
I got worse like a bad case athletes foot. So yeah,
(07:27):
I don't know. I mean, I think it's just it's
it's a fun story that I'm sure many news outlets
are going to get a lot of clicks on because
the combination of like, essentially the headline is Putins does
have compromat um. The Guardian like, there there's gonna be
a lot of you know, reputable mainstream media outlets that
(07:49):
are gonna find a way to make to report on this,
whether it's believable or not. There's um. The Guardian, for instance,
reported that like, uh, secure purity experts say it looks real,
but like that doesn't mean that it is real. All
that means is that they found a security expert who
(08:10):
was willing to say that it looked real. Um. So
it's just it's the same ship as like when they
kept finding all these prosecutors who would come out and
be like Trump is fucking nailed, Mueller is gonna he's
never going to see the light of day again, and
it was like, Yeah, if you had just interviewed a
single defense attorney, they would have pointed out all the
(08:31):
reasons that like those these cases are full of holes
and he's probably not. Yeah. And you know, like if
you follow people like Marcy Wheeler, who's like a big
you know, uh, civil liberties and national security kind of
account to follow on Twitter, Um, she's like pointing out
She's like, the timeline is just a little weird when
(08:52):
you know, like when there were outreaches to Trump, like
that they happened before even when this meeting happened. So
like the saying the timeline is like to lay based
on known events, Yeah, seems weird right that it would
be that late. Yeah. And the other thing too, is
just sort of saying like the way that you know
a lot of like people like Olidara Pasca and these
(09:13):
you know, oligarchs that we've come to known as being
sort of like these intermediaries, like the way that they're
the sort of bureaucratic structure works with Russia, they would
have happened through like different meetings rather than intel agencies. Um.
But either way, I mean, look, I think it's clear
that Russia did want you know, Trump to be president, uh,
(09:35):
and they compromise. Stuff is fun to think about, but
I think at the end of the day, more than
whether or not there is compromis, it's like, we still
have to figure out ways in which we can make
you know, elections secure and fair and focus on those
things rather than do we have a video of Trump
getting pet on or something. I'll tell you how to
(09:55):
make elections secure. First, make sure that people can't deliver
water or to people while they're waiting in line at
the at the polling place. No water, no p no
compromat there it is, Sorry, dude. The cyber truck is
trending again. This always excites me. The Elon Musk thing
that looks like it's you know, my child he went
(10:16):
to a crystals shop and designed a carved a truck
out of some crystals. Does look a little bit like
you know what one of my kids drawings of a
truck that I wouldn't put on the refrigerator because it
doesn't really look like a truck. Um. But anyways, he
(10:37):
is kind of doing the thing where he's like and
even if I do get my ass kicked, like that's
I wanted to. I wanted to, I'm like, that just
proves my point. Okay, yeah, because apparently there is like
this opinion piece in a website called The Truth about Cars,
and this one person opinion Tesla cyber truck will be
(10:58):
company's first flop, and like a huge Tesla stand account
was like, no, this is just an opinion and it's
probably wrong. I think will be a game changer. So
Elon Musk replied to this like tweet and said, to
be frank, there's always some chance that cyber truck will
flop because it is so unlike anything else. I don't care.
(11:18):
I love it so much even if others don't. Other
trucks look like copies of the same thing, but cybertruck
looks like it was made by aliens from the future.
Shut up, did you do it? In stands us? Um No? Um,
but like sort of three separate sort of chunks though, um,
so he is organizing his thoughts in a way that's
(11:39):
easy to to follow along with. But yeah, I don't
okay cool. I think a lot of people were just
sort of this other person on Twitter was like, yeah,
that's a cool take from somebody who's being sued for
making company decisions based on his personal self interest and
not fiduciary duty to be like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't give a fun biggest thing looking cool? All right?
(12:02):
Yeah dude, uh, I mean I think it's kind of
cool too. Some of the pictures like a look cool
to me. Um, but it feels like a car that
like you, you're gonna look like an asshole pulling up
for sure, drive it, but I'm glad it exists in
the world. I will feel cool when it drives down
(12:23):
the street and I feel like I'm in the future
from Robo Cup, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you like that.
First time a cybertruck drives by miles, I will FaceTime
you and I will say are you ready for some
poetry and motion? And then I will h You're like
you see it, You're crying. You're like, we did it, Joe,
(12:47):
Like what cyber truck was beautiful? Um? All right, let's
take a quick break, We'll be back, and we're back,
And there's a picture of Timothy Shaalom, Bill Murray, and
(13:11):
Tilda Swinton at can that people are are really really meming.
But I believe because they're all dressed very differently from
one another. Um. Tilda Swinton is very like wearing a
kind of bright electric blue suit. Um, looks like she's
(13:31):
from the future. Timothy Shalom uh like part punk, part
uh eighties. Michael Jackson pants like from the waist down. Um.
And then Bill Murray is just like your dad on vacation.
He's just got like a you know, he's got one
(13:51):
of those Dan Flashes patterned shirts from You Should Leave
It is. He is an optical illusion in motion. Um, yeah,
okay Bill. He's also got a watch on each wrist,
which is an interesting look. Um, what is he doing
with that? Exactly? Maybe one is like New York time
(14:14):
and the other is the time he's in. I don't know,
it's it's really I'm like, I get really, it's really
aggravating to see the two watched. It feels like a stupid,
like something I would have done when I was twelve,
to like piss my mom off. He's like, why are
you doing that? I'm like, because you never know, you
gotta look at one. You know what if I'm using
(14:35):
this hand and I need to see that time, I
need both on. Yeah, and you end up sounding like
Tim Robinson in a sketch. Come why afterward? Two wrist
watches by day they're doing them. Yeah, but it's a
fun image. You've probably seen it somewhere. Neutra Gina sunscreen recall,
that's my alarm sound. Johnson Johnson just can't stop putting
(14:59):
poison in our topical the materials that they sell us
to apply topically. In this case, it is sunscreen. That
what do they have in it here? Potentially cancer causing chemicals? Yeah,
that's long. So I think it was asbestos in baby powder,
(15:20):
to the point that like you can't buy Johnson Johnson
baby powder anywhere. Um, it's benzine, that's what's cool. Just
a little benzine, just a just a low level benzene
in your New t Regina and a Veno aerosol products.
So it's not just newt Regina. They're having a fucking week. Huh. Yeah, man, uh,
this is cool because I think we have these products. Um,
(15:45):
so that's fun. I imagine you and you're you're evoking
a memory in your mind where you and your family
just like spraying it on your food, like in your
like I think cares, nothing can hurt us. Yeah, um, anyways,
be able to lookout for that uh minimum wage what? What?
(16:07):
What was minimum wage trending? There's just more stories coming
out essentially about how, um, you know, a minimum wage
in this country is at a point where you know,
you would have to work for what minimum wages in
the moment ninety seven hours per week to afford a
modest two bedroom rental if you're on minimum wage, that's
(16:28):
what it would take. Um, And that's why it's like, dude,
eighteen isn't even enough, you know what I mean, Like
twenty five should be like the fucking standard. I mean,
like it's just a I think it's just more sort
of analysis, I think to help more or I don't
know if it's meant to help people understand what the
stakes are here. But if you are just you of
the disposition to realize that there's massive inequality, then yes,
(16:51):
you will look at this and say, oh okay, if
it's eighteen doesn't cut it, and it's twenty four to
just be able to put a roof over your and
make rent. That's what it needs to be. Um So, yeah,
it's it's yeah, it's it's it's it's really some disturbing
ship when you really keep looking at all the analysis
around it. Yeah, there's this poll, uh that's going around
(17:14):
that says one point eight million Americans have turned down
jobs due to unemployment benefits, with the implication being like,
the unemployment benefits that we were getting during uh COVID
were too good, too rich, and we have to take
them away so that people are forced to go back
to work. Um And it's just it's such bullshit. First
(17:37):
of all, the the poll is like one where you
can choose multiple reasons for not going for saying no
to a job, and like the ones that got more
results were like COVID nineteen constraints and child care and
health medical limitations. Um So, but they're they're taking the
(17:58):
fact that like third team percent of people who turned
down a job felt like they were getting enough money
on unemployment insurance as a symbol to take that insurance away,
as opposed to as a symbol that like the insurance
is only working for thirteen percent of people yeah. I
(18:19):
mean because at the end of the day, again, no
matter what people say on TV, they're still being you know,
egged on by a class of people who say, I
need cheap labor to get back to work, or I
don't make the same kind of money hand over fists
that I used to. And even have Kayleie mcinnhaney, the
former White House Press secretary, going on Fox this morning
(18:41):
and getting mad about the child tax credit that was
you know, going to begin to be going into people's
accounts today. Um, and she's saying, yet another reason to
not go back to work. There's a place for welfare
in this country, but excessive welfare without work requirements is
where we get into really dangerous territory. Um. No, we're
dangerous territory by exploiting people's labor in the way that
(19:03):
we do and offering them wages where they would need
like quite literally three full time minimum wage jobs to
make ends meet. Yeah, that's the dangerous territory. I don't
child care on top. Please articulate, right exactly, Please articulate,
Kaylee mcinhey, what is this dangerous territory? Don't just end
it there, Please describe what this means and also like
(19:24):
the fucking you know means testing like work requirements. We
know what we you know, it's all welfare, queen, fucking
ship that you're going back to um And I'd argue
that again, the job, the terrible job you were doing
in the White House, was a form of welfare that
the country was putting. Course, all all conservative like thinkers
(19:45):
and quotes are on a form of welfare where like
they're the smartest person they can find who will say
this wild ship m and yeah, they they're just it's
just you'd want the I don't know, man, it's just
(20:06):
frustrating that the story and like this isn't the story
is an axios is that by one point eight million
Americans saying that they were able to turn down a
job due to unemployment benefits, that that's like a bad thing,
suggests that like American capitalism only works if we can
put the gun of like starvation two people's heads. And
(20:29):
you know, I mean, yeah, that's the exactly the loud,
that's the quiet part that's just getting louder and louder.
We need as people need people as desperate as possible,
so they take any fucked shitty sub subsistence wage we
put in front of them, and just such a weird thing.
It's like the way that these people are looking at
sort of a poll that says one point eight million
(20:51):
are like saying no to jobs because of welfare. It's
like the same mentality of you were dating somebody, you looked,
you asked all your exes why did you dump me?
And they said, oh, because you you actually weren't a
sexually satisfying partner for me. And then you're like, huh,
this is damn fucking vibrators and stuff out here fucking
ruining me. I see what's going on, Like, you're not
(21:12):
going no, no, they told you the problem. It's that
you are inadequate. It's and this is the same thing
that these people are saying, the wages are inadequate. Therefore,
I am going for the option that works in my
self interest the most much in the same way that
you're unwilling to say that these takes are coming from
a group of people who are so interested in their
(21:34):
own profits that they're going to go and completely try
and obscure this argument to just be about, yeah, they're
stealing and they're just lazy, and that's the fucking problem. No,
then then, please listeners be if you hear people say that,
quickly flipped the script on them quickly. Alright, well, those
are some of the things that are trending. We are
(21:56):
back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind into each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about what supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow, right right, h
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendon

on known events, Yeah, seems weird right that it would
be that late. Yeah. And the other thing too, is
just sort of saying like the way that you know
a lot of like people like Olidara Pasca and these
(09:13):
you know, oligarchs that we've come to known as being
sort of like these intermediaries, like the way that they're
the sort of bureaucratic structure works with Russia, they would
have happened through like different meetings rather than intel agencies. Um.
But either way, I mean, look, I think it's clear
that Russia did want you know, Trump to be president, uh,
(09:35):
and they compromise. Stuff is fun to think about, but
I think at the end of the day, more than
whether or not there is compromis, it's like, we still
have to figure out ways in which we can make
you know, elections secure and fair and focus on those
things rather than do we have a video of Trump
getting pet on or something. I'll tell you how to
(09:55):
make elections secure. First, make sure that people can't deliver
water or to people while they're waiting in line at
the at the polling place. No water, no p no
compromat there it is, Sorry, dude. The cyber truck is
trending again. This always excites me. The Elon Musk thing
that looks like it's you know, my child he went
(10:16):
to a crystals shop and designed a carved a truck
out of some crystals. Does look a little bit like
you know what one of my kids drawings of a
truck that I wouldn't put on the refrigerator because it
doesn't really look like a truck. Um. But anyways, he
(10:37):
is kind of doing the thing where he's like and
even if I do get my ass kicked, like that's
I wanted to. I wanted to, I'm like, that just
proves my point. Okay, yeah, because apparently there is like
this opinion piece in a website called The Truth about Cars,
and this one person opinion Tesla cyber truck will be
(10:58):
company's first flop, and like a huge Tesla stand account
was like, no, this is just an opinion and it's
probably wrong. I think will be a game changer. So
Elon Musk replied to this like tweet and said, to
be frank, there's always some chance that cyber truck will
flop because it is so unlike anything else. I don't care.
(11:18):
I love it so much even if others don't. Other
trucks look like copies of the same thing, but cybertruck
looks like it was made by aliens from the future.
Shut up, did you do it? In stands us? Um No? Um,
but like sort of three separate sort of chunks though, um,
so he is organizing his thoughts in a way that's
(11:39):
easy to to follow along with. But yeah, I don't
okay cool. I think a lot of people were just
sort of this other person on Twitter was like, yeah,
that's a cool take from somebody who's being sued for
making company decisions based on his personal self interest and
not fiduciary duty to be like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't give a fun biggest thing looking cool? All right?
(12:02):
Yeah dude, uh, I mean I think it's kind of
cool too. Some of the pictures like a look cool
to me. Um, but it feels like a car that
like you, you're gonna look like an asshole pulling up
for sure, drive it, but I'm glad it exists in
the world. I will feel cool when it drives down
(12:23):
the street and I feel like I'm in the future
from Robo Cup, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you like that.
First time a cybertruck drives by miles, I will FaceTime
you and I will say are you ready for some
poetry and motion? And then I will h You're like
you see it, You're crying. You're like, we did it, Joe,
(12:47):
Like what cyber truck was beautiful? Um? All right, let's
take a quick break, We'll be back, and we're back,
And there's a picture of Timothy Shaalom, Bill Murray, and
(13:11):
Tilda Swinton at can that people are are really really meming.
But I believe because they're all dressed very differently from
one another. Um. Tilda Swinton is very like wearing a
kind of bright electric blue suit. Um, looks like she's
(13:31):
from the future. Timothy Shalom uh like part punk, part
uh eighties. Michael Jackson pants like from the waist down. Um.
And then Bill Murray is just like your dad on vacation.
He's just got like a you know, he's got one
(13:51):
of those Dan Flashes patterned shirts from You Should Leave
It is. He is an optical illusion in motion. Um, yeah,
okay Bill. He's also got a watch on each wrist,
which is an interesting look. Um, what is he doing
with that? Exactly? Maybe one is like New York time
(14:14):
and the other is the time he's in. I don't know,
it's it's really I'm like, I get really, it's really
aggravating to see the two watched. It feels like a stupid,
like something I would have done when I was twelve,
to like piss my mom off. He's like, why are
you doing that? I'm like, because you never know, you
gotta look at one. You know what if I'm using
(14:35):
this hand and I need to see that time, I
need both on. Yeah, and you end up sounding like
Tim Robinson in a sketch. Come why afterward? Two wrist
watches by day they're doing them. Yeah, but it's a
fun image. You've probably seen it somewhere. Neutra Gina sunscreen recall,
that's my alarm sound. Johnson Johnson just can't stop putting
(14:59):
poison in our topical the materials that they sell us
to apply topically. In this case, it is sunscreen. That
what do they have in it here? Potentially cancer causing chemicals? Yeah,
that's long. So I think it was asbestos in baby powder,
(15:20):
to the point that like you can't buy Johnson Johnson
baby powder anywhere. Um, it's benzine, that's what's cool. Just
a little benzine, just a just a low level benzene
in your New t Regina and a Veno aerosol products.
So it's not just newt Regina. They're having a fucking week. Huh. Yeah, man, uh,
this is cool because I think we have these products. Um,
(15:45):
so that's fun. I imagine you and you're you're evoking
a memory in your mind where you and your family
just like spraying it on your food, like in your
like I think cares, nothing can hurt us. Yeah, um, anyways,
be able to lookout for that uh minimum wage what? What?
(16:07):
What was minimum wage trending? There's just more stories coming
out essentially about how, um, you know, a minimum wage
in this country is at a point where you know,
you would have to work for what minimum wages in
the moment ninety seven hours per week to afford a
modest two bedroom rental if you're on minimum wage, that's
(16:28):
what it would take. Um, And that's why it's like, dude,
eighteen isn't even enough, you know what I mean, Like
twenty five should be like the fucking standard. I mean,
like it's just a I think it's just more sort
of analysis, I think to help more or I don't
know if it's meant to help people understand what the
stakes are here. But if you are just you of
the disposition to realize that there's massive inequality, then yes,
(16:51):
you will look at this and say, oh okay, if
it's eighteen doesn't cut it, and it's twenty four to
just be able to put a roof over your and
make rent. That's what it needs to be. Um So, yeah,
it's it's yeah, it's it's it's it's really some disturbing
ship when you really keep looking at all the analysis
around it. Yeah, there's this poll, uh that's going around
(17:14):
that says one point eight million Americans have turned down
jobs due to unemployment benefits, with the implication being like,
the unemployment benefits that we were getting during uh COVID
were too good, too rich, and we have to take
them away so that people are forced to go back
to work. Um And it's just it's such bullshit. First
(17:37):
of all, the the poll is like one where you
can choose multiple reasons for not going for saying no
to a job, and like the ones that got more
results were like COVID nineteen constraints and child care and
health medical limitations. Um So, but they're they're taking the
(17:58):
fact that like third team percent of people who turned
down a job felt like they were getting enough money
on unemployment insurance as a symbol to take that insurance away,
as opposed to as a symbol that like the insurance
is only working for thirteen percent of people yeah. I
(18:19):
mean because at the end of the day, again, no
matter what people say on TV, they're still being you know,
egged on by a class of people who say, I
need cheap labor to get back to work, or I
don't make the same kind of money hand over fists
that I used to. And even have Kayleie mcinnhaney, the
former White House Press secretary, going on Fox this morning
(18:41):
and getting mad about the child tax credit that was
you know, going to begin to be going into people's
accounts today. Um, and she's saying, yet another reason to
not go back to work. There's a place for welfare
in this country, but excessive welfare without work requirements is
where we get into really dangerous territory. Um. No, we're
dangerous territory by exploiting people's labor in the way that
(19:03):
we do and offering them wages where they would need
like quite literally three full time minimum wage jobs to
make ends meet. Yeah, that's the dangerous territory. I don't
child care on top. Please articulate, right exactly, Please articulate,
Kaylee mcinhey, what is this dangerous territory? Don't just end
it there, Please describe what this means and also like
(19:24):
the fucking you know means testing like work requirements. We
know what we you know, it's all welfare, queen, fucking
ship that you're going back to um And I'd argue
that again, the job, the terrible job you were doing
in the White House, was a form of welfare that
the country was putting. Course, all all conservative like thinkers
(19:45):
and quotes are on a form of welfare where like
they're the smartest person they can find who will say
this wild ship m and yeah, they they're just it's
just you'd want the I don't know, man, it's just
(20:06):
frustrating that the story and like this isn't the story
is an axios is that by one point eight million
Americans saying that they were able to turn down a
job due to unemployment benefits, that that's like a bad thing,
suggests that like American capitalism only works if we can
put the gun of like starvation two people's heads. And
(20:29):
you know, I mean, yeah, that's the exactly the loud,
that's the quiet part that's just getting louder and louder.
We need as people need people as desperate as possible,
so they take any fucked shitty sub subsistence wage we
put in front of them, and just such a weird thing.
It's like the way that these people are looking at
sort of a poll that says one point eight million
(20:51):
are like saying no to jobs because of welfare. It's
like the same mentality of you were dating somebody, you looked,
you asked all your exes why did you dump me?
And they said, oh, because you you actually weren't a
sexually satisfying partner for me. And then you're like, huh,
this is damn fucking vibrators and stuff out here fucking
ruining me. I see what's going on, Like, you're not
(21:12):
going no, no, they told you the problem. It's that
you are inadequate. It's and this is the same thing
that these people are saying, the wages are inadequate. Therefore,
I am going for the option that works in my
self interest the most much in the same way that
you're unwilling to say that these takes are coming from
a group of people who are so interested in their
(21:34):
own profits that they're going to go and completely try
and obscure this argument to just be about, yeah, they're
stealing and they're just lazy, and that's the fucking problem. No,
then then, please listeners be if you hear people say that,
quickly flipped the script on them quickly. Alright, well, those
are some of the things that are trending. We are
(21:56):
back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind into each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about what supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow, right right, h
