into Americans share consciousness. Uh. It is Friday, November twelve,
twenty one, which, of course Miles means is oh, you

(00:20):
didn't know. I mean I did, but I do call somebody.
It is National French Dip Day, National Pizza with the
works except Anchovies Day, and National Chicken Soup for the
Soul Day. Eating my friend chicken soup for the French
Tip Day, though I can get behind that. I wrote
my English master's thesis on chicken Soup for the Soul,

(00:42):
one of my favorite pieces of literature for the teenage soul. Right,
yeah yeah, I love deluxe pizza Supreme Pizzas minus anchovies
to love that. I love French tip. Where did that
even come from? Is that like a I learned that
from Ninja Turtles was like old the anchovies Like that
was like a trope on Ninja Turtles in the eighties

(01:03):
that I remember. That's like where the idea of anchovies
being on a pizza even occuraged to me? Other than that,
I've never been like well, there's an they put antovies
on this pizza. I think there was also, Yeah, that
was the thing in the eighties, I think quite a bit.
There was a rom come about a young man who
is a pizza delivery man. And this is gonna sound

(01:25):
like I'm talking about a porn but but he uh,
he would like go to women's homes and they when
they ordered extra anchovies on their pizza. Oh, like that
was the signal. Yeah, got it? Love her boy? I
think it was. Anyway, Yeah, love her boy. There it is. Yeah,

(01:46):
I just don't know why again, if if y'all know
where this came from, because I've yet to have ever
seen anchovies offered as a topic at a piece of place,
unless it's like they had a whole list of like
you know, you can desecrate your own pizza type business.
But other than that, I've never been like, you're gonna
love our Anchovia rugula high Like yeah, anyways, my name

Michael Scott, I would say that I actually switched more

thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the
host of How to Do the Pot podcast Demystifying Cannabis

(03:19):
for Women, and she's the co founder of the platform
for Legal Weed Education of Like Minds. Please welcome Ellen
scam Hi, so happy to be here today. Welcome welcome now.
It's great to have you. Where you coming to us
from where you? Where are you at in the earth?
San Francisco, Okay? Is that? Where are you? Are you
a Bay Area native? I'm not. I have lived here

(03:42):
for going on thirteen years, though, and I ran into
someone at Outside Lands who told me that twelve years
makes you a native. But I'm from the East Coast.
I grew up in Virginia, Connecticut, and Maryland mostly all
the all the East coasts place and fun. A lot
of time in New York City too, but more as

(04:03):
an adult. Yeah, how how was did you so? You
went to Outside Lands this year? I did well. Outside
Lands is like my favorite festival of all time. Like,
I don't think anything else comes close, just vibe wise,
and I just love Golden Cape Park. But what was
I haven't been in damn like five years, so I'm curious,
what's has it maintained? It's outside lens nous throughout it awesome.

(04:27):
It was awesome, it was so much fun it was.
I was there on Sunday, it was a beautiful day.
I've never gone to a festival by myself, and I
wasn't sure I was gonna be able to go. My
husband and I were trying to go Friday, but we
couldn't make it happen, and a friend of mine actually
gifted me her ticket because she couldn't shut a three
day pass and couldn't go. So I got to go

(04:48):
Sunday by myself, which was actually amazing. I just wandered
around and looked at all the people and listen to music,
and I love the festival so much. Also, you're in
this sink park and I I just would walk from
stage to stage and that was it was like hiking
and listening to music. And there's grasslands there and so

(05:10):
that was really fun to check out, and beer lands
and all kinds of great food. It was really fun.
That's like the thing I love is that, like you
go there and there is like all of the Bay
Area cultures, like, hey, we get there's some millionaires up
here who want to drink really good wine and have
oysters and ship so there's wine lands and stuff for that.
And it's funny because the last time I went was

(05:31):
the year like before they started doing grasslands, which Jack,
I think you're gonna ask, was grasslands is where you
smoke grass? Yeah? What's what's it like in there. Is
it just like a lounge of people? Is it like
a bunch of like vendors and you know, cultivators kind
of peddling their words. It's a big space and you

(05:52):
have to be twenty one in order to get in.
And then there are some vendors and a bunch of
consumption lounges that are all outside and have cool couches
and cool vibes, and they've got a lot of stuff
where you can take good Instagram pictures. And then they
built this big basically just a place to to have
a huge mural, and so anyone who came into Grasslands

(06:13):
could come in and grab a paintbrush and add to
the mural. And it felt great. It was really fun.
I don't smoke weed, but I am an Instagram influencer,
So yeah, I'm a little torn, but I think I'll
be there. That sounds awesome, That sounds Just do the
thing you always do. You take the unlit joint and
then in photoshop you add this moment. All right, Ellen,

(06:35):
we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
couple of the things we're talking about today, We're gonna
talk about the seasonal retail workers. We're coming up on
TIS this season for just absurd consumerism, we are about
to hit just unprecedented consumption projected forty six more than

(06:59):
normal when it comes to apparel, and we're also having
a worker shortage, so you know, see what you do
with that. Yeah, well, we'll talk about what they're planning
on doing. We will talk about Trump seems to have
a type like with with regards to the people that
he endorses, namely people who are abusers as women. Yeah,

(07:22):
so we'll talk about that. We will talk about there's
shocking news coming out that wearing a beard does not
make you more dominant and manly, which I'm having a
hard time believe in that. And then, of course, as
is our want, as is our ema, we we always
like to check in any time there's a movie pass news,

(07:47):
piece of movie pass news, So how is there? Why?
How is there not? How is that not? The only thing?
We're thinking about all that plenty more? But first ellen,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
for your search history? So I just moved into a
new house and I cannot find any of my napkins,

(08:08):
and I have a big collection of cloth napkins, and
I'm hosting Thanksgiving and laws are coming in from the
East Coast. We've got some friends coming, so I have
been doing a lot of searching for Hey, where did
I put my cloth napkins? Google? All right, how's that?
How's that going you? Are you happy with the selection?
Are you happy with what what? I'm having trouble letting

(08:30):
go of the fact that I can't find these napkins.
You know, I don't really want to buy any new
ones because I know I'm going to find them like
the day after Thanksgiving. Um, so I'm I'm stalling a
little bit. Your retail news of forty six times the
demand is making me think I should probably just buy
someone I'll use them at another holiday. Yeah, there you go.

(08:54):
That's big. How many people are you having for Thanksgiving?
So we were thinking of inviting a few more this morning,
So it's to be between seven and nine, I think, which, Yeah,
it's I grew up having a huge Thanksgiving. My mom
would host my dad as a big family, and so
it would be like forty people, so I'm used to

(09:14):
it being really big. So this feels manageable, although I've
never actually done it, so in my head, I'm thinking, like, oh,
eight people, no big deal. But I also have a
three year old who there's a wrench into most of
my well laid plans, so we'll have to see how Yeah,
I have a three year old that literally throws a
wrench and many of my well laid plans at anything.
At my head about anything is when the way you

(09:37):
were sort of described, I could hear the resistance in
your voice, like, I don't know if I can buy anymore.
It sounds like someone was a healthy napkin supply and
you're like, I can't add, Like it would be foolish
of me to augment this by any even one more sheet?
Is that? Am I am? I feeling napkins? I mean,

(09:57):
I am the person that walks into a shop and
I just I'm certain that I need another eight um
so I I had a good collection and I just
can't find them. And it is so weird. I've unpacked
every box I think, and it would I mean, it
wouldn't fill a whole box, but it would definitely be

(10:19):
you know, it feels like it should be found, and
I really don't like to buy things that I don't
need or don't use, and so I used all these napkins.
So yeah, it's it's been a little emotional. You did
hear that in my bood? I know I could see
and I as I know, I get like the frustration
of like when you have a lot of something and
you're like, I know I have this somewhere and you've

(10:40):
moved and then it ends up being like in a
drawer of like a piece of furniture, like you threw
in at the last second because you're in such a
hurry moving out. You're like, why the fund did I
put it in here? But here they are. I'm definitely
going to find them. I'm starting to wonder if you've
got such a lit napkin collection that they got taken
that they were like, okay, the one thing that we
have to like have fall off this moving tra train,

(11:04):
moving train, right, that's how they moved stuff? Now? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I was going to offer a hack that we
use around these parts, where you just like put old
wash cloths out, but it sounds like you're a little
bit beyond beyond that. I really like napkins. You're gonna
stay at a Courtyard by Maria. You're gonna take all
the wash cloths when you check in, and you're gonna

(11:25):
call the front does get medialya and say there are
no wash cloths in here. I don't know how you
overload this. I demand six more, just so we can
not have this problem again. You run that game about
five times and you're you're set for napkin a huge
thanks what's your main gonna be? Is it gonna be? Uh?
Turkey ham? What are we talking? Turkey? So there's this

(11:48):
food delivery service in the Bay Area called good Eggs,
and I am like their number one customer, and they've
already pre ordered my Thanksgiving and they have a main
seeing local vendors that are part of the food. And
then I'm actually a pretty bad cook. Luckily, my husband
is a good cook, so I do the sourcing and
then he's going to do most of the cooking. So

(12:11):
but we get it all the time, and their recipes
are easy and nice. So yeah, so it's going to
be Thanksgiving like straight down the middle, the fast Fall,
straight down the middle? Cool? What is uh? What's something
that you think is overrated? So something I think is
overrated is four twenty as a weed holiday. Okay, we've

(12:35):
had this before and it is one of the more
convincing cases we've heard, so hit me. Yeah, well, I'm
sorry to hear that you've already had it before. I
wanted to be an original, but maybe my perspective will
be Yeah. And so I was doing some research and
the two of the top weed sales days are actually
the day before Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving. So

(12:58):
Green Wednesday is what we call the day before Thanksgiving,
the biggest sales days, or New Year's Eve. These two
Thanksgiving holidays the Wednesday before Christmas and then the Friday
before Halloween. So I feel like cannabis holidays are becoming
regular holidays, and it's about being with your friends and

(13:18):
having a great time and maybe feeling better around your families,
your grandparents, high dissociating around your problematic uncle with a
ton of edibles, and just feeling really chill about it all.
I was able to get through the whole Q lecture
without batting an eye, just laughing your ass like that.

(13:43):
And also in the past few years, some cannabis brands
have started to kind of take back for twenty as
a day to talk about social justice and people that
are still in prison for cannabis crimes. But I don't
really think that's the mainstream narrative for it. I still
think when people year four twenty, they think like kind
of browie, not not accessible. Um, and so yeah, I

(14:08):
think it's overrated and I think that there are other
ways that cannabis can be celebrated and let's let's work
on those. I gotta say, you fucking nailed it. The
last four twenty under or overrated was really good, but you, uh,
you nailed it kind of hinged on them wanting to
make sixty nine and more significant number than four twenties.

(14:30):
So yeah, years was a little bit June nine baby,
But I think ye, the last time we were talking
about is like for me is like an older millennial.
It was because of the prohibition on cannabis and stuff.
It felt like, alright, man, were the kids of were
of divorced parents, who are going to get so fucking

(14:52):
high after school on this day. And then that habit
kind of carried on into adulthood. And then as things
progressed and like even I started working like medical marijuana
and things just felt a little more normal. It definitely
like significance has passed. But it's funny when you say that,
because I definitely have those same things. I'm like, well,
I'm not gonna get caught without weed on a long
weekend like or before Halloween or the fucking the day

(15:17):
of all days where you're gonna have constant leftover food
to contend with. I mean, it's all tracks, but it's
not something I've ever really thought about. I like green Wednesday. Now,
that's some good, uh marijuana like metrics that you've got there,
which makes sense. Do you plan on having like a
like marijuana offerings at your Thanksgiving And do you feel

(15:40):
pressured as somebody who's like a a thinker in the
world of of marijuana. Oh wow, well thank you for that. Um.
I I like to have weed when I'm around people.
I mean I feel like they not that they expect it,
but I love going to Ellen's house. I love to
share it, um, and I have a lot, so I

(16:05):
love to share it. I definitely no one is required,
and my in laws I would be very surprised if
they would be interested in partaking, but yeah, we'll have
it around. And the edible trick of eating more because
of eating an edible and then getting extra hungry and
then having like a second helping. A friend of mine

(16:26):
does that at the beach town where I grew up,
going right, loves the food so much that he'll just
have an edible later in the afternoon so they can
have a second, you know, like and then does that
because when I like over eat, I feel like shit afterwards.
But like I feel like when I would over eat

(16:49):
after smoking, like I wouldn't actually feel as bad. Is
that like does it help? I guess because it helps
with stomach right with like, yeah, I mean CBD, especially
if there's any CBD in your it tends to like
bring down inflammation, and so that could help if you
have a stomach ache. Yeah, no one's ever really pointed
that out before, where often you don't feel bad after

(17:10):
you maybe eat a ton of extra food, right, Yeah,
I will be interested to see as you know, we
progress and evolved as a society that has legal weed.
Like if you know what are the traditions you know
there there are traditional like alcoholic beverages for each holiday,

(17:32):
Like what what will the traditions be that arise around
like our existing holidays? Oh? Yeah, like Green Wednesday? You
can roll like a fat blunt in like a tobacco leaf,
like a fonta leaf, and make it look like a
turkey leg. Yeah, I mean you know what I mean, absolutely,
you know what I mean, like jack o lantern type devices.
I'm you know, I'm gonna start thinking about this. Yeah,

(17:53):
you got work on it. Yeah, you've seen me smoke
going affect like ive who buy flour underneath there sustain
its own weight. The structural integrity has been compromised. Like
a tomato plant. You have scaffolding. They're like, and I'm
just coughing, like this doesn't seem practical. Got to hit it.

(18:16):
You don't seem practical. What is what something? You think?
It is underrated? So I don't know if you all
have heard of the show, but it's called Night on Earth.
It's a series on Netflix. It's so good. It's so good.
First of all, it transfixes my three year old, which
is amazing. And basically it goes to all these amazing

(18:37):
places all over the world on a full moon and
they have these crazy cameras and so it looks like
it's daylight but it's the middle of the night, and
they follow these animals around and you're going to these
gorgeous places, and literally my son is obsessed, and so
we watched them over and over and so I just
I can't recommend it to people enough. The narrator is

(18:59):
this woman who's voice is so insanely calming and relaxing.
And the best part for me, because I have watched
my share of nature shows in my life. This is
sort of a spoiler, but like, the animals don't die.
There's a lot of tension, and like there are forty
thousand Caribbean flamingos and then suddenly, you know, crocodile comes

(19:23):
through and you're getting really nervous, and I can feel
myself getting nervous now, and then every works out. So
it's it's amazing. I love it. Wow that the soundtrack
by Tom waits too. I wouldn't it's so good. I
wouldn't be surprised if they're like brilliant minds behind me.

(19:48):
The U for I have extolled virtues of nature documentaries
as like entertainment or like something to have on the TV,
kind of ambiently if your kids are just you know,
need something on the TV, but you don't want them
to be poisoned by fucking Paw Patrol or whatever. Yeah,
nature documentaries are great, but they also especially as a

(20:09):
new parent, because it's always the baby animals that get
picked off. Like it's yeah, which is wild because I'm
thinking about, like you know, I like everyone's conscious, like
I don't want my kid watching this other stuff. Cut
to our childhoods where it's like I don't know, man,
this whatever is on is your parents for the moment,
Just deal with that. And I think about, like one

(20:32):
of my earliest memories of TV that was too much
for me was actually watching Bambi. Yeah, when the mom
gets murked and I was like I was destroyed. I
couldn't handle Meanwhile, I remember my grandparents like you need
to watch Roots when I was like four, and like
that was somehow I was processing that better than watching
Bandy It. So all that to say is that it's

(20:54):
it's interesting the things you remember as a kid where
maybe as an adult you're like that's too much for them,
where it's like I'm just literally unable to process this
Bambi though, where the mom goes bye bye. Yeah. The
one the one problem that Disney really wanted kids to
be prepared for is uh is their parents dying like
violently or just not being dead. Like as as we open,

(21:19):
they're just like, look, kid, your parents are dead. Okay,
if they're not that we wanted to prepare you for that, right, Sorry,
well I was. I was reminded of something because that's
both of your parents, you know. As the way Ellen,
you were like, just a tip, you know, this is
great for the kids. I I noticed all the time
between parents like exchanging these like sort of parental hacks

(21:42):
of like you'll have you tried this? Have you tried this?
And then even on like the internet the other day
I saw it like a tip was like, Hey, just
a tip for your parents this holiday season. We know
you're gonna have to walk your kids your toy stores
and they're gonna be like, can I go in there?
And rather than going in there and saying no to
them and then triggering a meltdown, he's they were like,
pro tip, what I do? Have my kids posed with

(22:05):
the ship they want? And I say, well, yeah, let's
go in there because I've just send that to Santa.
And then that's how I can neutralize the threat of
going in the toy store without buying nothing and then
still feel like she's progressing for the child, and I
was like, oh, that's interesting. But then all the comments
like take you so much the ship as genius. It's
just interesting, like these new just again, like as we're

(22:26):
discovering phones and kids are more aware of phones, it's
more than like my parents be like if you ask
me one more time, you will have nothing, versus like yeah,
why don't you pose for that? And I'm like, oh,
and stupid getting that and then you just print out
the picture that you took and be like you go,
you You'll always have that memory, buddy, look at that. Yeah,

(22:48):
the use of the camera to like, we have an
issue where when my kids will build something, the other
one will want to break it, and you know, like
with legos they're magna tiles, and just the way we
got past that is every time they build it, they're like, hey,
take a picture. I take a picture, and then they're

(23:08):
good because like there's like a record of it. They
never look at it again. But it's just like, yeah,
it's a feeling that like this has been stored in
the Library of Congress on my dad's phone less transient. Yeah, yeah,
dad hacks. Hey, that's there's a podcast cut this justin

(23:29):
because we're gonna make make billions ways to manipulate someone
with us lower intellect than It sounds like we're gaming
out here. But all right, let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and yeah, let's

(23:59):
talk about the upcoming holiday season with regards to just
out of control American consumerism. Yeah, baby, it's uh. They say,
at a minimum, overall, they're looking at close to ten
percent increase in people just shopping again because people being
cooped up a little bit more freedom than last time.

(24:20):
I think some people, you know, despite costs going up,
have probably been sitting on some money and are ready
to buy some stuff for the holidays, and you know,
the holiday season is working. Retail during holiday season is
a humbling, fucking experience. It's where I learned to hate
consumer culture. And also it's where I realized that the

(24:40):
Coach monogram handbags were like Louis Vuitton for Karen's shout
out to the Coach store in Sherman Oaks. But this year, now,
apparel is projected to be like the hugest biggest increase,
so to forty six percent more business than normal. So
if you have apparel then hold onto your fucking butts.
And now retail operators are kind of in this situation like, Okay,

(25:03):
labor shortage because we're not paying living wages. Okay, we
hear that, but also consumers want service, so what are
we to do? And they'll just pay a living wage, right,
wouldn't that be wouldn't it be nice? But no, they're
more like, how about some bonuses, bonuses, Like each company

(25:26):
they're they're all doing something different to lure in potential workers. Amazon,
for example, they're offering seasonal rates of around eighteen dollars
and like even an additional three bucks for certain shifts,
and like assigning bonuses up to three thousand dollars. I mean, wow,
that's something. Target is hiring less seasonal workers than normal

(25:49):
because they want to incentivize their existing staff to work more.
Hell yeah, And they're saying that's working because they have,
like you know, they're they're saying, like we have an
education them that will help people go through college, and
like these other sort of sort of supplemental programs to
help employees. It's working because Target is really a family,
and who better you want to spend time with around

(26:11):
the holidays than your family. Yeah, so you can sleep
here now, asshole. Then Macy's they're giving existing employees like
a five dollar bounty for like any new blood they
bring in. They're like, hey, you convinced your friend, all right,
I mean that's bounty on that. Like recommendation bonuses are
like kind of their their thing. They're pretty normal. Yes,

(26:37):
big lots. They're extending their holiday hours and they're making
up for it by giving employees a fifty dollar gift card.
So all this to say, it seems like, you know,
companies have done the math, and this seems to be
like the Black Friday version of like their labor costs,
where Black Friday is like, I know, it looks like
it's a deal. He's like, but look this is still

(27:00):
it looks like more to you. But trust me, we're
still making a profit off this. And it feels like
just with these sort of increases in wages and stuff,
they've done the math. They're like, we can do this.
It appears we're moving closer to this thing while still
making the money that we need to without going too far,
you know, too far afield, and you know, it's it's
just sort of like it goes back to this idea

(27:21):
of people. We've sort of sort of set fifteen dollars
to be this benchmark for a living wage, when really,
when you look at a lot of the analysis, like
that's not enough at all, and when you add kids
to the mix, like really you think a living wage
needs to be closer to Like if you're living in
somewhere like, for example, California, you would need to be

(27:42):
making roughly what is it here nineteen fifty seven eighteen,
I mean sorry, just like in like higher states, like
we'll just we'll like our districts like DC or New York,
you need to be making twenty five dollars an hour perfect,
like in a in a four person household with two
parents working and two children, that's what would be necessary

(28:04):
if you're if maybe if you are a childless person,
then fifteen dollars you can make work in certain places.
But still, I feel like the conversation hopefully doesn't stall
out here like wow, look at all they're doing more
than like m's still not enough? Yeah, temporary right. This
chart from the famous socialists outlets c NBC has like

(28:28):
the difference between current minimum wage and what is like
considered a living wage, and it's all like way the
funk off, like even you know, for single people it's
almost exclusively at least like three dollars difference up to
you know, there there's some that are ten dollars differences,

(28:50):
and then for families, it's just it's absurdly off, like
it's not even close to where it needs to be.
And yeah, you would think that, I don't know, that
would be a thing that politicians would be like, look
at this, this, we could make people's lives better and
they might vote for us. But they had a chance, though,

(29:10):
didn't they. And just a couple of people were like no, yeah,
I think of the C suites and there it went.
So yeah, a bit disappointing, but yeah, yeah, it's it's
it's interesting to just watch how these companies are, like here,
here's anything but a living wage. So much of the
country's minimum wage is still seven twenty five Jesus. Yeah,

(29:32):
because it's like at the federal bottom. You know, wow,
m a lot of people are starting to work in weed,
are getting interested in working in cannabis, so maybe check
that out. Yeah, like in terms of like helping with cultivation,
I mean, it's legal for adult use in nineteen states
and for medical and thirty six states, and like the

(29:55):
numbers I was telling you last year and the two
days around Thanksgiving, like hundred and seventy five million dollars
worth of weed was sold and there but tenders and
cultivators and all kinds of things. So it's a it's
a really fast growing employer as an industry in the country.
And yeah, it's funny because like some of some people
in my family, you know who pre prohibition had developed

(30:19):
skills that many in our family like, man, they're never
gonna get a job. And now they're like, I have
fucking insurance that I can blow out a whole warehouse
watch this ship, and I'm like, God, your ass, and
now you got the best job in the family. So
it is true, Like it's it's it's interesting to watch
that pendulum swing back and forth. But yeah, that good point.

(30:42):
I look into it because I mean it's there's especially
like in I feel like in l A, there will
always be a poll of people to go up to,
you know, up north when it's time for some trims,
and suddenly they're like, yeah, man, I just go up there.
I can knock out, you know, or work for like
three weeks straight and I'm good for a while, you know,
living minimally, but still there's the opportunities abounded. All right,

(31:05):
let's check in with like the Trump you know, line up,
who is he endorsing these days? What what are they
all about? It seems like we're starting to see a
trend here. Yeah, I mean, he's his hold on the
GOP is pretty clear, and he butts heads with Republicans
that are like only like ninety three percent racist. So

(31:27):
there's definitely like a type that he prefers. And it
seems like especially for the people that he's endorsing. When
you look at some of the people he's endorsed recently,
they all have a very similar pattern of allegations of abuse.
You know, like Herschel Walker, who's running for Senate in Georgia,
has been accused by his ex wife and a former
girlfriend of like, you know, threatening their lives or like

(31:48):
pulling a gun on them. Max Miller is a former
Trump aide who was briefly dating Stephanie Grisham, who was
the Press secretary during their time at the White House,
and she had accused him of you know, physical abuse
and had also been arrested like for like fighting at
hookah bars and all kinds of just like just general
you know, like he likes to punch people in public.

(32:10):
It's like brown shirt ship. Yeah. Then there's this guy,
Sean Parnell. This this guy most recently, Sean Parnell, who's
running in Pennsylvania, got Trump's blessing, and many people yeah,
and many people like, what's going on here again? Accusations
of abuse from people in his past, physical violent stuff.
And then he made his worldview like really clear on

(32:32):
a Fox and like. So then after this stuff came out,
people like, I'm not sure if you saw him when
he was on Fox and Friends and started going off
about like tyrant women and just to give you an idea. Again,
not to be label the point, but this is a
SoundBite of him sort of. This is sort of his
general vibe as a man and how he sees the world.

(32:55):
I feel like the whole happy wife, happy life nonsense
has done nothing but raised one generation of woman tyrants
after the next. Maybe it's just now there's an entire
generation of men that don't want to put up with
the bs of a high maintenance, narcissistic woman. I also
think that modern day feminism is driven a wedge between
men and women. The idea that a woman doesn't need
a man to be successful, the idea that a woman

(33:17):
could live a happy and fulfilling life without a man.
I think it's all nonsense. I've already had one failed marriage,
and you know I've been there, I've done that. But
I look at women on Instagram when I stumble across
their pages, and the number one thing that turns me
off the most is all the duck build selfies, the
narcissistic duck build selfies. From an evolutionary standpoint, it used
to be, you know, women were attracted to your strength

(33:37):
because you could defend them from dinosaur. I feel like
there is dinosaur Dad. He's running for senate. He's running
for fucking senate. But I when you look at sort
of what the platform is with Trump at the helm,

(33:58):
it really is like this eddle to the metal, like
fuck progress ship, Like we want a guy who's literally
evoking prehistoric man which as part of his pursuit of
a better America. And I mean this is the thing
like we've seen Trump cons you know, it's pretty similar.
He surrounds his people of a similar disposition or shitty character.

(34:21):
So now when you see that, this almost seems like
a litmus test to get an endorsement from him, you
can only imagine where the rhetoric and the policies are
headed when this is the stuff that he's like, we
have to get behind this. We have to get behind
the guy who says women who take selfies are like
narcissistic monsters and I've already had one field marriage. Just

(34:42):
throw that in there as an aside. I mean, we
do seem to see this a lot that a comorbidity
between like violent misogyny and a lot of problems in America,
whether it be like mass shootings, just murder, or you know,
this fucking white supremacist you know movement. And it makes

(35:05):
sense because being afraid, feeling threatened as in your manhood.
I feel like undergird's a lot of you know, the
character profiles of the people who are causing a lot
of the problems in this country. Right because conservatism now

(35:25):
just means go backwards, there's nothing there's at this point,
they have completely stopped contributing any kind of idea that
somebody like, yeah, did you hear that thing? Met Rounney said,
if that were a policy that would make our lives easier.
It's just been like, man, taxes are too much for
us millionaires and were regular people huh folks, And it's

(35:48):
everything else is just about chipping away at fucking any
semblance of progress, whether that's for like bodily autonomy or
reproductive rights or or lgbt you civil rights, anything like this,
Like no, no, no, we gotta fucking take everything back back, back,
back back. And I'm not sure how many people realize

(36:09):
that that's truly what the deal is here. And I
know many people feel like we got to get back
to like simpler times in America. Was this or that,
and we didn't have any idea of things like runaway
misogyny or racism. But this is sort of you know,
I think this man truly would be like sh it
was easier when women picked you based on if a

(36:30):
dinosaur was gonna eat her because we were walking the
earth at the same time as dinosaurs. If you remember,
I'm a Christian, that's a facts facts. I mean, what
do you think he sounds like a guy who took
one He like heard about evolutionary biology from his freshman

(36:50):
year college roommate and then decided to just shoot off
at the mouth constantly about it, say, I don't know
if you know, like that's how like women picked men,
hey man times So what a fresh take on social media?
Taken down the old duck face selfie, right, and which
is kind of odd when you see it's the way

(37:11):
where you'll see Republicans get progressive, because it always strikes
me when you see like how Republican members of Congress
are now like, man, we gotta figure out legal banking
for legal cannabis. And you're like, what where did you
Where did you hear that? You're like, I got donors
who are pretty in so I gotta like represent It's like, wow,

(37:35):
so you only pick that road when like there's money
and someone's clearly being like, hey man, we can make
some fucking money. But like you got a team up
with Elizabeth Warren in this case to make this happen.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back, and appropriately enough, we are

(38:05):
talking about facial hair. I am rocking a mustache for
the first time. I shaved it down. I mean, you've
had the mustache I was. I felt like, yeah, I
always have a stubble mustache. I just can't get it
to a full adult mustache hood. Yeah, mine is very
shadowy at the moment. Yeah, you're look at that ship

(38:27):
is strong Jack. It looks like a young person trying
to grow a mustache for the first time, right, like
you're about to buy your first pack of cigarettes. Cigarettes,
please one cigarettes. But people are looking into the psychology

(38:47):
and I guess physiology of beard growth. Yeah, you know, beards.
Beards were pretty big there for a while. I have
been noticing, as I am proudly and not at all
being forced to grow mustache this November, I am noticing
like I'm paying more attention to their facial hair. It

(39:09):
seems like the clean shaven look is in vogue these days.
I think it's a pendulum. Ellen, what's your what's your
take on beards? Are you? Because I felt like at
a time, everyone's like beard. It was like the fucking
beard era. Everyone's like, oh, look at that beard. Look
at the instagrams of like buns and beards. Look at

(39:29):
this man with a man bun in a beard? How
How how did you did that poison your brain at all? Well,
my husband has had a beard at different times, and
not how to beard, and so he's the one who
I pay the most attention to. And we did have
a few conversations where I said, I'm cool with the beard,

(39:49):
but I needed to look nice, so I needed I
needed to get it trimmed. I need like, do you
want me to I'm just like I said, I'm sort
of the sorcer in the family. I was like, do
you want me to get to a product? And he
wasn't that excited about a product, but he did go
and find a place and get beard trimming. Um. But
during COVID, I feel like a lot of people grew beards,

(40:09):
just the way everyone grew all of their things, beards
and everything, and so maybe the pendulum shift is people
had them throughout COVID and now it's just I need
to do something that feels not like COVID and remembering
being at home all the time, because like I feel
like facial hair and like not getting haircuts was sort

(40:31):
of like the dust settling in the offices we weren't
going into anymore, but like manifesting like on our bodies
or like it's just piling up because mething matters and
no one's here to see it. And now maybe I think, yeah,
people like funk Man, this is we're a little less
in survival mode to a certain extent. But I didn't
realize that the take of or the perception of beards

(40:54):
was that like, it's more I mean, I guess on
a very basic levels that it means your way more
masculine and you're way more dominant because you've got a beard,
and your beard, the fact that you can grow such
a beard are indicators of such virility. Well, it turns
out it might not be, according to a study is
the Archives of Sexual Behavior Check. They really wanted to

(41:18):
get in. They said, look, we were examining quote, whether
beards are honest signals of biological in terms of testosterone
levels and psychological self reported dominance traits. So they got
a group of like young healthy men based on you
know what the metrics they were using, and they measured
their beards like regularly using digital calipers, Like they were

(41:40):
being like, let's really get in here, let's try and
be as scientific as possible. And then they also would
provide saliva samples like before and after working out, just
to see like how they're like testosterone and cortisol levels
were and they also like had to report their dominance
on this five item scale. Well, they looked into all
this and they've found that beard length was not related

(42:03):
to testosterone levels or dominance. Thus, no evidence was found
to support the hypothesis that beards are honest signals of
the beard owner's testosterone levels and dominance. Thank you, I
rest of my case. I have no beard. My testosterons
through the chart. That's why I'm bad. Who was brobot?
Was this a bro Bible like study? Like what? I'm

(42:25):
so confused as to like where this. I think it's
maybe just that's exactly I was surprised. But I think
maybe that's just I think generally, right, it's just the
visuals of like masculinity, right, or being like a lumberjack. Visually,
It's like, look at this big fucker with the flannel on,
He's got to have testosterone shooting at his face. But

(42:48):
I think maybe that's where it came from. But I
or like we just all miss our dads from the
eighties when they may or may not have had a
beard at the point. I mean, I just think it's
so fashion like based, zeitgeist based, and also like just
dependent on like how you feel about the strength of
your chin. Like, I feel like a lot of people

(43:11):
grow beards too, you know, give themselves a little bit
of a chin, and that's that's fine, and that's great,
but like to to assume that it's based on like God,
I can't I can't help grow this fucking beard. It's
just it's just bursting out of my face because I'm
so damned dominant. It's like, right, and it's not that

(43:34):
much fun to kiss someone with a beard. No, So
I've never thought of it as a manly I guess
I've never really thought about it that way. But kissing
someone with a beard is clean, shaven's kind of nicer.
I think it reveals sort of the perception of the
beard grow. Like to your point, you're like, I don't

(43:56):
really I'm not to say that you're speaking for every person,
but that like you're like, I didn't really think about it,
whereas someone who's growing the beers like, fucky, man, I'm
gonna look like a fucking like a like a Spec
Cops fucking Navy seal in Afghanistan with this beard. Zero
dark thirty like started a big part of the beard trend. Right,
we'll consider now, right, like on the far right. A

(44:19):
beard is almost standard battle dress for these people, for
proud boys and those gropers and that whole fucking group
of people like where you're like, of course, y'all have
to do everything as outwardly masculine as possible because you're not,
because you believe in your own masculinity and dominance. I'm
sure that beard is not compensation. And mean, listen that

(44:40):
it was just talking like in the last that guy
is masculine as fucking has no problems being insecure about
his masculinity, right, And so there's like there's something I
think to that, and it maybe it is in the
eye of the beard holder m what they believe themselves,
or maybe that's what I'll do to tell myself it's
okay that I couldn't. I'll be honest. I think when

(45:02):
growing up though, like in puberty, I was telling my
other friends fucking growing wild ass facial hair, I'm like,
what the fuck? Why is it just coming out in
circles on my cheeks? I can't when will I get
there is something a matter with me? And then I
think that's just because I've mainlined too much American pop culture,
where I think weird again, fetish steady diet of beards

(45:24):
over our lifetimes. Yeah, alright, let's let's let's move on
to Movie pass as as we love to do on
this podcast, because there was a brief moment where it
seemed like we would have access to movie theaters the
same way we have access to Netflix, just as a
subscription service that we're able to just have in our life,

(45:50):
have their whenever we needed it, and then it it
went away. And now we we've covered like five different
times when it's like movie Passes back, like how movie
passed revival question mark, Like we should just have that
on deck for like a headline or like a title

(46:12):
of our show. But okay, So Stacy Spike, one of
the co founders of Movie Passes, announced that he is
but the remnants of the company in hopes of restoring
it to its wildly unsustainable glory of Yeah, baby, I it.
I'm still so confused about this because, as we all knew,

(46:35):
on paper, we're like, Hi, how you can make it
work for ten bucks a month? Does that work? Because
the ticket is okay whatever? But yeah, as Stacy Spikes said,
he came out and said, I can confirm that we
acquired movie Pass out of bankruptcy on Wednesday. We are
thrilled to have it back and we are exploring the

(46:55):
possibility of relaunching soon. Our pursuit to reclaim the brand
was incur reached by the continued interest from the movie
going community. We believe, if done properly, theatrical subscription can
play an instrumental role in lifting movie going attendance to
new heights. And here's the thing. He started this in

(47:16):
two thousand eleven, or co founded it with this other
dude in two thousand eleven, and they got bought in
twenty seventeen by Helio something whatever, the company that completely
bankrupted them. That's when like we sort of I think
in the mainstream we're like, wait, movie Pass what because
that's when they launched out the ten dollars a month
all you can watch sort of plan, and within two

(47:39):
days they went from twenty thousand to a hundred thousand
subscription subscriptions, and then in less than a year they
had over three million subscribers. And I think that's when
they were like, fun, wait, so he preceded that explosion
or yeah, they were trying to they were struggling to
get it off the ground and since eleven they're like,
I mean, we liked the idea. They're big movie fans,

(48:01):
and they figured that this is something that could work.
But then these two big dicks came in being like no, no, no,
you got it all wrong, Like I know the people
over there will do something wildly unsustainable and it'll look
cool for a second. Maybe we can sell the thing
before they re there onto the fact that this is
a sham. But the funny part was the two guys
who took over the company, Like Spikes was still sort

(48:23):
of involved, and then he in he was fired because
he raised concerns internally about the sustainability of the ten
dollar price point. Get out of here, you fucking hater,
So he watched it all fall apart. I don't know,
I'm still unclear on how it's going to be sustainable

(48:47):
in any way, Like aren't the price is going to
have to go up? Will't it be like you can't
be unlimited anymore? And at the same time, I feel
like places like AMC have caught on and they're like, no,
this is actually this is a good way to kind
of keep up constant flow of money coming in. And
sometimes they might not go see movies. But I'm just, yeah,
I don't know, how how do we bring how do

(49:08):
they bring it back? If they bring it back, it's
it seems like his plan is to bring it back
at a higher price point, right, Like his his whole issue.
Like he was like, the ten dollars thing is a great,
like kind of limited time offer. We hit our goal,
all right, turn it off like that that that was
the goal. And they were like what if this was

(49:29):
the price though, and he was like, well then we'd
go out of business really fast. And they were like,
you're fired, get out of here. So it's just it's
just a question of how much the kind of offering
is contingent on. Like I think I would only do
it if it was like tennish dollars or like the

(49:51):
price of a movie ticket, because then I could like
get my mind around, Okay, I'll have to do is
average a movie a month, which I'm totally planning on doing,
and I would be you know, saving money. But if
the last time I went to a movie, I thought
it was like twenty bucks a ticket, Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
it's absurd. I'm just I'm but Jack, what you're saying

(50:16):
is like you'd pay for one movie a month, so
that's twenty bucks, so that's already doubling. Yeah, that's true.
That's a really good point. That would make their business
a little better. Yeah, I know, I feel like honestly,
like isn't there? When are we going to see? And
I guess this is a question for you, Alan, because
you you have your ear to the streets cannabis wise,

(50:37):
when our movie theater is going to be a venue
for consumption, you know, like, what do you think is
getting in the way? Because like in l A, you
see these little places starting to pop up to like
the Lowell Cafe and stuff, or you can eat and
smoke and pay ridiculous rental costs for like water pipes

(50:57):
and ship But is there, like where are we there?
Because I'm always curious about that as as things progress. Well, yeah,
I love the idea because movies and we'd go together.
So well, I mean, the first thing that comes to
my mind is smoking issues, and so probably have to
be outside because I don't think you can smoke inside
in a lot of places anyway. But I mean, you

(51:20):
look at all the people who built movie theaters in
their backyard with a screen during COVID, it's not right now,
you could throw it on if you have any type
of outdoor space, right, that would be fun. Like sin
Espa was doing that in l A for the like
Hollywood Forever screenings, Like you would see sort of like
weed delivery company sort of set up shop and then

(51:41):
it's like, yeah, man, litter, we're in a cemetery. Yeah,
old pal, did that remember hearing about that? Yeah, So
outdoor things I think probably, I mean movie theaters with alcohol.
I think that the chain that was here just went
out of business during COVID whatever, the like arc Light. Yeah, yeah,
And I don't like to drink during movies because it

(52:05):
makes me tired and yeah, and then I want to
all sleep. So weed and movies seems like a better mix. Yeah.
I could also see like if it was indoors, it's
just so smoky you can't see the screen. You're like, man,
like this movie maybe would have been a little bit
better if it wasn't a goddamno. Maybe you need a

(52:25):
subscription to a dispensary service and you just walk in
and it's sort of like the fumes for five bucks
a month, you just you don't even have to bring
your own weed. It's just a oh yeah, or like
a do edibles if you can't smoke. They're like here
going the edible pit for a little bit, give yourself
about forty minutes and then the show will start you going,
and maybe it starts uh knocking on your door. And

(52:46):
now suddenly the new Cruella filmsable. I wouldn't call it
in edible pit because that makes me think of a
ball pit that's just full of edibles. The kids are
playing in edible pen. That's better pen, yeah, with confused
people wondering if the cookies are eating are Yeah? Ellen,

(53:07):
Can you talk a little bit about just your your
podcast and like sort of where you're where you're seeing
the industry move and kind of trends that you're surprised by,
you're excited by as you kind of track track the growth. Sure, well,
you're making me think of our episode, our Thanksgiving episode
that's coming out soon. We have a new series called
Weed Words, where we just talk about all the words

(53:30):
that everybody kind of thinks they should know about weed,
but maybe don't um. Our Halloween episode was on paranoia,
and so it's like the practical tips to not feeling
paranoid with weed, but also why as a culture we're
kind of paranoid about cannabis. And our Thanksgiving word is
the munchies, because everybody, and I'm gonna dig into why

(53:51):
you don't feel super super? Yeah, you're like, I eat
forty dollars worth a taco bell and I'm my happiness
is through the roof physically great. Yeah, Well, what I
did learn is that cannabis increases your like it makes
food smell and taste better. That's what the receptors are
connecting with your body. So anytime food tastes and smells better,

(54:15):
that sounds pretty awesome. So yeah, that's the word that
we are going to be talking about in Thanksgiving and
in general for our show. You know, we're trying to
demystify cannabis for for women, and what that means to
me is just help them understand it. You know. The
show is called how to Do the Pot because when
I was talking to friends about what I was doing,

(54:36):
I would kind of be like, oh, yeah, we're going
to teach how to do the pot and everyone would laugh,
And I thought that was a pretty good place to
start because you can kind of you know, and I
also think that for people who intuitively call it pot,
you kind of have some stigmas and fear and propaganda.
So I'm sort of like speaking to those people a
little bit and just being like, it's we'd have fun,

(54:57):
but also you need to know how to do it,
because is there's so much to learn about cannabis. I mean,
the employment stuff is super fascinating, the social social justice
side of it is incredibly important and interesting. But also
if you just don't know to wait an hour when
you've eaten inedible before trying another one, like that's also
super critical. So we try and cover all of it.

(55:19):
And we actually have a show, a series that comes
out weekly that's called The First Time I Bought Legal Weed,
and women from all across the country send us their
voice memo and tell us the story of the first
time that they bought weed. And it started because I
was just talking to a lot of women who were
curious and wanted to try it but really just couldn't

(55:39):
get themselves there. And so I thought by building this
like tribe of friends basically who are telling you. And
it's not that all the stories are great. I mean,
my first time in San Francisco, I went to a
dispensary that had bulletproof glass and did not feel good.
And then I also want to one that seemed like
a restaurant, and I want everyone to know that there's
a range. And so yeah, we're really just try in

(56:00):
to make you feel like you have a friend in
Weed who you can ask the questions that you have
in a in a discreet way, so you don't have
to tell everyone that you're super curious, but you can
learn what you need to know. And your theme song
is the toy Store. You got a friend in Weed? Right?
My god? Randy Newman is like nails in a talk

(56:20):
word to me, and my husband loves him. So you're saying,
like people, you can kind of tell something about people
if they call it pot? What about smoking dope? That
I mean? The first vision in my head is definitely
somebody over sixty. Yeah that's what That's what my dad
calls it. Hey, if you want to smoke dope throughout

(56:43):
your life away, you know what's so funny? Oh my god,
I just remember this day. I don't know why didn't
tell you. I feel like and my mom, I don't
know if my mom listens sometimes And if you're listening
to mom whatever she talks about when like she caught
me smoking weed once. She's like, don't have smoked weed before,
you know, back in the seventies, And I'm like, oh yeah,
I was just like, yeah, I remember we smoked me

(57:05):
your aunts and then we watched Jaws, and that's so
scary scary. But I'm curious, like when you when you
talk about sort of the like the barriers to entry
as you see it, for people who are like I
don't know about this weed stuff, what are what are
like the common things that you've realized are like like
the common obstacles that people have to sort of get over,

(57:28):
and then they're like, oh shit, right, I actually enjoyed this.
I mean, I think the first thing is that it's
just been illegal for so long, and so a lot
of people just are scared of what could happen to
them and scared of breaking the law or know someone
who got in trouble. So that feels like the first
thing that you have to come across. I think the
second thing is a bad experience where you got too

(57:50):
high and just had a really bad time and basically
never wanted to touch it again or didn't have a
terrible time, but it just didn't feel great, and it
was a hassle to get and kind of a paint,
you know, all of those barriers. So I think those
are the two things that I hear about the most.
And now though I have to say most people just

(58:14):
seem really curious and and and the question I get
the most now is what should I buy? Oh, what's
a good entry point for me? Exactly? Like maybe some
low low t C just to kind of get it
see where you're at that I tell people, you know,
there is definitely weird that feels kind of like glass

(58:35):
of champagne. So maybe start there and add some CBD
and take it slow, and don't be afraid to cut
the edible into fours. There's no shame. Some of these
edibles on the market are strong. So it's kind of
just think about this like something that is worth being
curious about because you will get some answers that then

(58:57):
you won't have to think about again. You know, it's
sort of binary like once you kind of know what
the right amount of a THHC edible is for you, you
you can choose different brands, you can play around, but
you're not going to have to go back and be like,
do I like five melograms or ten melograms? I'm I

(59:19):
need what should I do? Ellen? Why? Why? Why am
I at twenty? Because it's your endocannabinoid system. We all
have one. It's the system in our body that balances
all the other systems and the tolerance that you have.
I mean, I don't know how much weed you have
in your body at any different times, and there is
I am we great words of machine gun Kelly, but

(59:45):
like if you you know, if you have a headache
and you're going to take something over the counter, like,
are you the person that definitely needs to advill or
with like half an advill work for you? Because I
think that all of our systems metabolize things coming in
at a different rate. I'm super sensitive to all medicine
and always have been. So I think that that's part

(01:00:06):
of what I know about myself, and I bring that
into when I consider what I what I want to
be consuming with weed. Yeah, Miles, you don't like even
feel the effects of caffeine really, so like I know,
I don't know, I don't feel the effects of caffeine
unless I'm drinking like undiluted like cold grew concentrate. I
typically synthesize things a lot slower, like if it if

(01:00:30):
I'm you know, taking anything like everybody else is there already,
Well TikTok, what's going on? But yeah, that is true
with like stuff like that, though I don't take a
lot of like advilla or whatever. But I think that's
just more born out of growing up with an immigrant
mom who said, you don't need that crap. Yeah, I
was just it was the first example that came in
my head. But any kind of like caffeine for me,

(01:00:52):
I can't drink it. It makes me so even one
cup of coffee. I switched to tea, and and like
even caffeine and tea I have to be super careful
about because I just get that jittery feeling. Yeah. That's
called the endoca endocannabinoid endocannabinoid system, and it was discovered
about almost thirty years ago in Israel, and it's the

(01:01:13):
system that balances all the other systems in your body,
much like the nervous system of the cardiovascular system. But
no one really knows about it and it's not really
taught in medical school. So luckily there's some amazing cannabis
doctors that are studying it, and I think this is
all part of my constantly just saying please, can we
have more research about this because I think there is
so so much to be discovered that will be incredible

(01:01:37):
and will really benefit from. That's super interesting. Hit me
with one paranoia practical tip because I smoked weed a lot,
but I'd say fifty to seventy percent of the time
I would have a panic attack. But I just really
liked the idea of weeds, so like I would keep
saying kind of smoking it, but I wanted to be
friends with these kids, just like, yeah, this is a

(01:01:59):
great wow. Jack, you're bending your car keys in your
hand again from your handy fist being so tight. Like well,
the best tip I have is, if you get too high,
have a CBD tincture around and it can be a Hempteri'
CBD tincture. You can buy it online. They're easy to get.

(01:02:20):
And put a dropper under your tongue and hold it
there for thirty to sixty seconds and about fifteen minutes
you will be You will feel more like yourself and
less high. That's an awesome trick, and tell everyone because
I feel like it does give people like if I
kind of watched your shoulders drop a little, you were like, oh,
that might be better, And that's the kind of tip

(01:02:40):
it is. So yeah, CBD tincture. You can also smoke
CBD if if that's what you're into. You need a
fast acting form though, so a tincture or smoking is
what's gonna basically counteract the th HC and then you know,
for your specific experience, I would say probably never smoke
cannabis with HC. Just like watch the percentages because we

(01:03:03):
have receptors in our brain that connect to the th
HC and it sounds like yours are sensitive and it's
really just high th HC that can bring on those
feelings of paranoia. Yeah, I was smoking at a time
where you just smoked whatever your cousin could get at
that given moment, and it was it was also at
a time when like some weed was still really bad
and some was like the some would come through and

(01:03:26):
you're like, right, so, yeah, like did you hear my
mom call my name? Literally? Moving car? Literally? That does that?
Just does that? Is it just me? Or does that
tree look like my mom's eyes watching me right now?
That's just me? Right, That's that's a dumpster. Also that tree. Ellen.

(01:03:49):
It's been such a pleasure having you on t d z.
Where can people find you? Follow you here? You all

available wherever you listen. We have a website Do the
Pot dot com that has lots of information for women,
and then we're on socials. Do the Pot there it is,

(01:04:11):
And is there a tweet or some of the work
of social media you've been enjoying. So I am not
on Twitter very much, but I could not ignore this
Elon Musk tweet where he decided to ask his followers
if you should sell Tim percent of his Treestla stock,
and he did, and he sold five billion dollars with
the stock. I used to work on Wall Street. I

(01:04:33):
worked on a trading floor, and it it just like
I I saw this heading come across my news wire
and was like, wow, trading is different now. So it
was very I I don't I don't even know if
I have an opinion. I just kind of said, wow,
this actually happened, Yes, you know, I don't know. It

(01:04:54):
was like five million people that came in and and
gave him an answer, and then two days later he
sold five billion dollars worth of Tesla stock. Yeah, what's
he doing with it? Though? He's gonna have to pay
some taxes, so that's going to be part of it.
This is like selling before the end of the year.
I mean, I don't know what he I I don't
follow him that often. Um really, I'm just not on

(01:05:16):
Twitter very much. But my dad mased Tesla and loves it,
and he also loves to trade stocks, and he's so
mad at the Tesla stock. So it's just kind of
a funny thing for me to see that Elon Musk
is creating this company with products that people love, and
then he's doing things in the market. And I think
Tesla was the most googled stock of the year. I mean,

(01:05:37):
he's getting amazing press and three and it's just it's
a lot. And it all started on Twitter. There it
is Miles. Where can people find you? What's the tweet

phrase soy bisexual, trying to figure out what this latest
insult meant until I went a little further and realized
I was reading a tweet in Spanish. So much is
made of soys and soy boys. Yeah to that. In
the last one from your Doty at your Doya underscore,
