(01:09):
I carry a K. What was the tune of your
A K Desperado? Oh? Interesting, Yeah, I'm a hell of
a singer. Well, I don't know that song. Eagles the Eagles, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember that was when I was like I only
know two. You're like, what about Desperado? No, no, no,

(01:32):
I thought that was a classic. You don't know that
time Feld episode where the new every Time Here's death Ferado. Like, okay,
you know I know that. Wow, that's what it sounds like.
And now my teacher just turned to it. Tommy Bahama. Yeah,
so if you weren't an Eagles fan before, now you are. Well.

(01:54):
We are thrilled to be joined in our third Teeth
by the hilarious and talented Lucas has Lit. Hello, what's
up man, I'm just sitting here with one of these
fidget spinners that I've ever played with belore Now. Yeah, look,
I'm hooked. I don't think I could the show anymore.
I know. Just wow, I'm like a whole lot of attention.
You're not supposed to track the spin with your eyes.

(02:15):
Holy shit, man, looked like that woman on the helicopter.
I was actually when I was trying to simulate trying
to figure out if the forces because I'm moving my
hand and I'm like, yeah, I could see why you
can feel that, Gyra Scott, It's like, what's spinning? Yeah?
I think we have had our first physics discussion this
morning and the daily is we were just trying to

(02:37):
figure out how the funk that happened. Yeah, I don't
move because it started brain started slow and then accelerated right,
got faster. Phoenix Rescue. I think that was in Phoenix, right, Arizona,
and that was it might have been the hardest I've
left this week, a four year old, perfect physical comedy. Yeah,

(02:59):
it really is. Yeah, like you would see that in
a trailer to some Fairly Brothers movie. That's that's to
advance for the Fairly Brothers man. That's shots fired. That's
like some it's got that Lonely Island sort of slow
building green Book is hilarious, though you did make me laugh.

(03:20):
You say, that's more of like a M. Grouber bit. Yeah,
that feels like the something that was the director from
Lonely Island director What would have made that mcgruber as
if during that whole thing, the helicopter crashed and she
was the only one that survived, it exploded and the
thing just took off the forces got licked. Uh. Well, Lucas,

(03:43):
we're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our
listeners a few other things we're talking about, such as
the uber Its Cravings report. We have some interesting insight
into the ordering habits of Americans in these United States
of America. How we're going to talk about Joe by
continuing battle with his inner demons when it comes to

(04:05):
being himself. Yeah, plagiarizing the funk out of everything. We're
going to talk about YouTube who decided to remove thousands
of videos and accounts of white supremacists, but not that
one that people were asking them to remove. So it's
essentially like, oh, you think that's bad, Well, look at

(04:26):
this ship. We're there's a new X Men movie coming
out that is not looking so hot in terms of
reviews and how it's going to perform. Uh, we're gonna
talk about how that ties into the overall box office
landscape and Hollywood studio landscape. We're gonna talk about whether
it's okay to wear AirPods uh all the time just

(04:49):
around the clock. We're gonna talk about legal Weed now
being on par with Taco Bell sales and bigger than Fortnite.
And we're going to talk about the brand crossover to
end all crossover. But first, Lucas, we like task our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about

(05:10):
who you are? The very last thing I searched as
I was looking at my phone on the uber over
here was what is Peter Dinklich's net worth? Oh? And
I because I am obsessed with how much actors as
an actor, you you know, trying to comparative and they
tell you not to compare, but you know you've got
to compare. Just trying to see what his net worth was,

(05:33):
and uh, you know for same actively small guy, relatively
big worth alright, same as you. Then we're so close.
And what's according to this is fifteen million dollars? Are
you which is where his assets are, what he's tied
up in some properties? You know? Most of it is
honestly just earnings. Yeah right, it's just he earns enough

(05:56):
money cash. It's just cold hard. Is there a reason
why you focused on Peter Dinklage. You just thought, I
wonder where I went down one of those rabbit holes
where everyone's networks. I just was like, who's Because the
big news is everyone was making a big deal about
jay Z being a billionaire, right, and so I was
just like, okay, well let's see boom boo boo, how
close everybody? How close everyone else? Who's on that list?

(06:17):
Who's who's chasing? And then you just look up Game
of Thrones and now all of a sudden, you're you're
looking at all these people. You were thinking, Dinklage is
the next to be a billionaire. I mean, Dankledge is
just the last on the list that I looked up.
Therefore he was the latest because I was doing selfie
turn or I was doing amazing. Well you you who
are you surprised by on that list? I was whether

(06:38):
a lot or too little. I was actually shocked that
they all relatively we're the same. Okay, some of them
are just significantly more famous than others, so I would
think that we would have a little bit more net worth.
But no, that pretty much that that's the area to
shoot for. Is that ten of Yeah? Yeah, yeah, ten yeah.

(07:00):
I feel like, you know, that's that's enough and then
no one will blame you for being a destroyer of
the earth. Do they get those six zid's residuals? Like
does it? How does that work? Because you can't like
put it into you can't put it into syndicated. Yeah,
but then it ends up on places like Amazon, Lime
and other things, so there there are many avenues for
those shows. I'm sure that they've got an intense contract

(07:24):
where it's written and how that could you imagine if
it's just a fucking one and done right here it
is up front, there's your feet like, I mean, no
agent would allow that. But it depends on the on
how much the syndication. Baby, what is something you think
is underrated? So the NBA Finals are going on right now,
and every time the Warriors have been in the in

(07:46):
the finals, they always talk about how Steph changed the game,
how step changed the game with three season whynot? So
that got me thinking back to you know, I'm from Sacramento,
so it got me thinking about Sacramento Kings star in
the late nineties, mach moodobdual Roof. I think my Moodobdualof
is the most underrated basketball player in the last thirty
years because he was doing three points in the way
that Steph Curry is currently doing it back at a
time when you could get your ass benched right down

(08:08):
in transition and shooting at three. On top of that,
he was also one of the first dudes like way
before Colin Kappernick, any kind of protest. He was doing
that when you could literally just get lynched on the court.
That's true, and he was I'm not saying that when
he was still Chris Jackson, when he was when he
became that's when he started, right, Yeah. Yah yeah. With

(08:28):
with the name change comes responsibilities exactly. Yeah. Man, he
was ahead of his time, both in playing style and
in politics. What was his when he was protesting? What
was his? What? Exactly? Or just kind of one of
those like sort of like awake people, was like, man,
fun this country. I think it was more of that

(08:49):
while he was collecting is you know, American standard dollar.
But you know, he was protesting I think more so
the content of the song than America. Interesting because like, oh,
y'all left that a whole other verse that there's a
couple of verses in there that are a little explicit
in how the country feels about. Weirdly, he just thought
it should have been America. The beautiful that was that

(09:10):
actually might have been it. It was like, there's a
much better songs good. He was a music major and
it's like, look, I'm protesting the music. He's like, I
don't know, I went to Berkeley College of Music. Terrible basketball.
Where do you go to? Where do you go to college?
He went? He played? He was on team, Yeah, he team? Yeah.
I know. Seriously, how they did they not win a

(09:32):
title with Shack? How how far did they get? Uh?
Not that far? Like I think the first Shock ever
made it was second round? Oh really? Yeah. Their coach
was notoriously very not good. So that's in the care
of like Duke North Carolina Huck Kansas were just better.
It's like, what are you being with Christian Laterner, Christian

(09:53):
Bass That's what I mean. Duke. I remember off the
strength of that final four performances, like, yeah, you're on
the dream Team. They're just like, I guess we have
to put you on man um Or Is that because
they needed a mix of non prose back then they
just they needed one college player and they went with
Laton of course number one pick that year. No, God, no,
it was Shock. Oh is that the same year? I believe? Yeah,

(10:17):
then it's either Shock or Chris Webber, because they went
Shack came first, Chris Webber came second. So it was
definitely con't kill any of them. Webber and Anthony Hardaway
were traded for each other. Weren't there? Yes, they were it.
Um fascinating nineties basketball podcast. Remember when was Chris Jackson. Weirdly,

(10:40):
we went into the origin story of that song recently. Yeah, yeah,
you'll have to listen back. Guys, what is something you
think is overrated? Overrated? So to go on the exact
opposite side of the spectrum of my personality? Um, I
think it is. I was having an argument over this
with a friend of mine. I think it is completely overrated.
RuPaul's drag race. Whenever a queen during a lip sync

(11:03):
for Your Life takes off her wig and reveels that
there's some spectacular nous underneath, And I'm just like, that's
not impressive to me, because the whole point of what
you're doing is you're trying to get as close to
simulating a woman as possible. That was the last time
a woman just ripped her hair off and just showed
you head, look at all this under here. So I'm
just like that, that's that's nothing. Is that like a

(11:23):
move to like show how just wrought with emotion? Or
is it like a reveal? But reveal is never anything.
One queen a couple of years ago one um with
rose petals underneath, and it was like that was her
big punch race. I'm like, if you want to reveal something,
reveal a whole another drag queenly off. If they peeled

(11:48):
their face off and there was a beautiful woman underneath,
I'd be like, not bat or just the same one.
But you're still able to pull a face off. I mean, look,
this is why we were consulting with RuPaul's drag for
the next level. I just trying to try up the game. Yeah,
we had Channgelo on a couple of weeks ago, so
I'm sure I wonder how she would feel about that.

(12:09):
I think she would probably be more appropriate to deep diving.
Then you sort of like just when they take their
wig off, she must be like, what, No, there is
a cultural history of why we do and okay, my bad,
but just um, you just so you just want a
bigger stunt. I think see it sounds like you want
a bigger you want it bigger. So like if you
do when they do death drops, when they're doing all

(12:31):
kinds of flips, all that ship that is legitimately like
physically challenging to do in heels, let alone, period. That
makes me go, God, damn, but you took off your wig.
Guess who can take off their wig? Everyone with a wig,
they take off their drops, breaking the barely pick something
up without my knees going to click click. I tried
as a joke to do a death drop at a
club and I just located my hip and my back

(12:54):
went out. Did you really yeah? Because I thought if
they make that ship look easy, I'm like, okay, you
just do a little spin and then wow h No,
I've never once looked at that and thought it looked easier. Well,
you know, in my mind move and I kind of
got the way you gotta get your arm out and
like get your your quad stretch on. But that's you know,

(13:15):
I just typically trying to mimic things immediately without thinking
about what the actually takes. Monkey see monkey do. Man.
What is a myth? What something people think is true
you know to be false? So this one I was thinking,
and then I heard some of the topics you're gonna
be talking about, and so I'm not hoping this doesn't
like cannibalize one of those topics. But one of the

(13:37):
biggest myths that I've always kind of like been racking
my brain over, and I think it speaks to a
bigger problem in the American psyche. Is this idea that
box office performance in the first weekend is any indication
of the quality of the movie, because movie studios love
putting out there that our movies number one at the
box office made all this money. Is like, yeah, but
your movie sucked. All you were capable of doing was

(14:00):
getting people to go see your sucky movie. Your marketing.
Your marketing was spectacular. The marketing in Hollywood is out
of this world good, but the movies are. I was
just like, you know, I don't care that Avengers Endgame
has now made more money than Avatar. I didn't care
for it. Yeah, we were actually just talking about that
this morning because it's slowed down, so it had a

(14:22):
huge opening, but it's actually like its first day under
a million dollars was earlier than, like by a week,
than Avengers Infinity War. If you look at a movie
like Titanic, Titanic is a perfect example not now. I
mean a lot of people might be like, well, funk
that movie too, But I'll say this great action film.
I'll say this, the opening weekend was not good. That

(14:44):
movie made its money because people kept going going to
the movie, and so at least there you go, well,
that indicates people actually loved the movie or Avatar too,
you know, well, not that it was good, but there
are people who were like I was. They were like
I remember on the internet, they were like Reddit and
like different fan message boards are like is anyone else

(15:07):
getting depressed that, like they can't live in Pandora. They're like,
I've been going to two times a day, two sons.
Two sons of movie is worth seeing in theaters. One
it actually goes up like weekend over weekend, and two
there is a mental illness caused by people having to
leave the movie, which is what Avatar is that the
Exorcist of fact the exorcist them. Yeah. Well, I think

(15:30):
also to that whole emphasis on box office things is
because the priorities of the film industry. I mean, it's
always been about profits, Like it's now just down to
like mathematically, it's like, well green light things we know
are profitable. It's not about the art anymore. Because a
lot of the marketing people started filling the development positions,
like in the eighties nineties, where the emphasis changed from
like what are good stories to like how we can

(15:52):
make this fucking money every time. And I just want
to go on the record, I'm a hundred percent okay
with that. I do not think that's problem. I think
where the problem kicks in is when the the narrative
in the news reporting of movie that this is what
good is. It's like, no, no, this is what marketable is.
People definitely want to go see superheroes doing insanely illogical

(16:16):
time travel related bullshit. I hated that movie Oh Ship,
Well there you go. No, I don't. Yeah, it's they're fun.
They are. It's the same thing as going on a
roller coaster, but you don't go to that roller coaster
and go wow, that is on par with the great
architectural wonders of the world. Like no, that was designed

(16:38):
to give you a thrill, and then you move on
right right you end upside and a couple of times
and upside. Daniel looped to use a little bit of
physical knowledge for us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we more
covered box office and the movie industry from the perspective,
like we will talk about whether a movie is good
or not, but we also like, I think it's important

(17:00):
because movies are so like they feed what people's images
are of the world around them, Like people when people
picture the Vietnam War, they're not picturing footage from the news.
They're picturing Vietnam War movies or aliens or aliens right,
whereas the real aliens are flying around in tas. Uh.

(17:23):
Let's talk about Uber Eats Cravings Report. Yeah, um, let's
let's you know, all these apps they centralize all this information.
Because we're making thousands and thousands of requests through these things,
they have a lot of info. Yeah, and the most
important thing is that they make it into a fun

(17:43):
info graphic, even though they're stealing all of the data
about us and no, exactly they know our minds better
than we know our minds. As long as they make
it into a fun infographic, we're cool with it. Yeah, exactly.
And then we're like, huh information, I guess. But yeah,
they basically released got a bunch of interesting stuff about
you know what their most popular deliver requests are in

(18:04):
the United States, Like just frequency of requests, Just to
go through a few things. The most popular request delivery
requests for Uber Eats in the United States is no onions,
which is to me odd because I'm I like onions.
I feel they fucking make most things instantly better. This

(18:24):
a lot of this made me realize that there is
more of the population that has the taste buds and
the taste and food of like a seven year old
than I would have expected. Well, you know, not all
the children hate onions like or at least I did
when I was a kid. A lot of the kids, Yeah,
I hated. I hate onions. One of those people contribute

(18:46):
unless they're chopped finally and are like really huge ring
of I feel like that's what most people are saying
when they're saying no onions please. Is there like why
are you drenching my burger or my my whatever, my
poor chop in fully cooked onions versus like, chop them fine,
put a little bit of oil so that just the
sprits of the flavor becomes part of what I'm eating,

(19:09):
because it's just like you chew on an onion, It's like, no,
the texture and the taste is too much. Yeah. I
don't know why I'm looking down on people who don't
like onions. That's that's legging down. It's like, that's cool.
I love onions. Um. No. Sour cream is another one
that's on there too. Come wait, dressing on the side
is on here? I would imagine that would be far

(19:29):
and away the no no onions. The most popular one
is the most popular one. H extra cheese good. I
like that makes no cheese. Come on, get out of
extra ranch. I agree, depends on what you're eating. Right. Well,
here's the thing. Okay, so now they also put like
very weird delivery request people putting like any notes for

(19:49):
the delivery at next level. First one just someone literally
put can you play Africa by Toto when you deliver
the doughnuts? Okay, do not make sense? Yeah, I don't
know why. That is amazing, but to do I mean fine,

(20:11):
I feel like some van Halen ship. They're just like
trying to put some weird ship in there to make
sure that that they're Uber Eats delivery person. To detail.
One person put close both eyes with each bite and
daydream about beach parties in Goa. That's just someone was
on mushrooms. Yeah yeah, that ain't fucking that's not real.

(20:32):
This other one, though, this is great. Please please send
all sandwich parts separately. I will put together myself. Yes,
think about that. Do you have a sound effect for
mind being blown? Um, there is wow x file that

(20:53):
is an amazing request. That's a great idea. What bomb
x file? The same parts being separate. The only way
I can see that fucking up is if it's like
a cheeseburger and they put the cheese separate, but otherwise
just put the cheese on the past sandwich part. I
love it because you know why there's certain places out
here all about the bread on Melrose. I'm talking to

(21:15):
you directly in your eye. Their ship gets so soggy
if you don't eat on the spot, like yeah, Like,
I guess it's something I guess if you overdress it.
Sometimes I have a sandwich that travels, it is fine.
Other times it's the ends of the heels, like especially
it's like a hero or you know, like a sub
or whatever. The ends get all fucking soft and ship.

(21:36):
So the thing I was referring to as being children's
taste and food is the most popular food and request
combo is steak and catch up that seems don't disrespect
the steak. Don't like eggs and spicy makes sense to me.
Eggs and spicy, yeah, oh ship people like to kick

(21:57):
up their eggs a little bit. Fries an extra sauce.
Turkey Number one, Well, people just like they're you know,
catchup ketchup? Is you know to put sugar on your meat? Right,
I guess is what you want? Euro with no tomatoes.
I see that when I do that, that makes total sense.

(22:17):
Cheese burger, no mayo. I get people to like mayo
on the burger, but mayonnaise. That is to me. Now
I am you might as well jiz on my food.
That would taste better than me than mayonnaise. Okay, I
do not care for her order her. I don't like it.
And that's because a little bit of God like and
make him. Oh then I'm like, oh see you like

(22:39):
the French cousin, cousin Frank, cousin Frank. The only reason
I'd be making this request is because I have my
own mayo chup at home. Oh look at you. I
always carry my own mayo chup in my purse. Like
that's hot sauce in your bag. Swep uh. And then
most unexpected food requests combos, shake plus night of ranch. Yeah,

(23:01):
that's gotta be faking weird, the weirdest one, pizza plus
and nuts. Yeah. Now, pizza plus ranch, you got right.
But shake plus nuts. I get that peanut butter shake.
I'm gonna what kind of nuts you put on your pizza.
I don't know. I don't I don't put no nuts
on my pizza. Well, you're the one saying you would
eat a nutted hamburger over maynnaise, So maybe I don't
have an allergy to those kind of Okay, yes, I

(23:24):
hear that. Mushrooms and catch up? Okay, telapia plus cheese.
Are we assuming that these are going together? Or these
are just requests? These are requests like it would be
on the order of telapia. Someone puts, please add cheese. Okay,
that's disgusting. You know what the might be. This might

(23:44):
just be like shake and then you'll always order fries
with a shake, and so you get a side of
ranch with I don't think anybody's eating a shake with
ranch that, yeah, I don't think, although who knows, because
this is like unexpected. This isn't like. This section isn't
about like what's frequent. It's just like weird ship grants
with your shake. It's interesting because you can kind of

(24:05):
track people's frame of mind by delivery or requests by day.
Most popular delivery request by day, so Friday extra cheese,
Saturday extra spicy, Sunday dressing on the side, and it's
just ashamed, ashamed of what you've done to yourself. Has
anyone gone down the bigger hole of like, okay, knowing

(24:25):
this data about what you're ordering food wise, do they
team up with the people who do the porn hub
tracking and figure out what people's porn look and then okay,
what movies on Netflix are you watch? So we get
a full picture of who, what are you eating, what
are you watching, and what are you joking? That should
happen like that? But but who who is undertaking this massive,

(24:48):
massive feat of information Corporate America? But somebody, But you know,
everyone's so private with their information. They're like, it's proprietary information.
We can't give it to you you. Do you think porn
hub is linking up with uber and and he is
selling that ship? So can we so look porn hub
and Netflix over, can we buy all this data? Because
I would love to look at you can't be sure

(25:09):
I know who bought it. It's as expensive as Cambridge Analytic.
Probably doesn't Facebook kind of own them or don't they
like yeah, well they mean, well they have the massive
file from Facebook. Facebook gave them the files and they
did the crunching. Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, we're gonna take

(25:29):
a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back,
and uh, Joe the human word, there's original. Joe Biden

(25:51):
has been caught plagiarizing his homework once again. Yeah. Elizabeth
Warren is a basically nerd over the year with all
her policy pay first and so Joe Biden shore, we're
gonna fucking policy paper out there. It was do one
on climate because people think old people don't care about it,
and on paper, pretty good idea, good plan, seemed like

(26:12):
there he's taking the threat of climate change seriously. But
my man had to basically steal some parts from other articles,
research and things like that, from Vox, from like Creato,
like just a few other organizations. He was just full
stop taking just chunks of paragraphs out putting it into

(26:33):
his climate plan. Uh. And a lot of people caught
him out and they're like, oh, I guess we didn't
properly cite that. But he's not writing these even yeah,
he's not, Like how does he Well, this is a
pattern with him, right because when he's running for president,
his whole ship fell apart because he first was like, oh,
I may have embellished a bit about my academic record.

(26:56):
Also was caught stealing parts of his speech from uk
le PARTI mp UM. And also another thing there was
like another thing, an unearthed New York Times article talking
about how he said he like marched during the Civil
rights protests, like and he did not, So Joe, come on, now,
this is the age of where we can check things.

(27:17):
You can't just shoot off at the mouth and be like, yeah,
I graduated maximum come loud and h maximum, come loud, maximum,
come loud, and I funck with MLK because you didn't um.
And and then the other thing is recently he was
asked by like an activist, it's like, are you going
to will you help repeal the Height Amendment, which is

(27:38):
this dumb fucking restriction that keeps bands federal insurance from
covering abortions except in cases of incestor rape and just
proportionately hurts like women who are like our poor, or
women of color if you live on a reservation. It's
just like a funked up rule. And no, no candidate,
if you're trying to be taken seriously in this primary

(27:59):
that should be like, you're the first thing. You should
be like, oh, the high demment, Yeah, that we're getting
rid of it. But he then so to this activist
when asked, he was like, oh, yeah, we're getting rid
of it. Then his staffers were like, uh, he does
still support the height. Yeah, so wait his stafford sold
him out like that. Well, I think they were just like,
it's on his website. I don't know. I think they

(28:20):
just knew that that he didn't believe that. I think
maybe he just, you know, he's old. Maybe he's just
he's so good at just telling people what they want
to hear without actually doing it that they're like, he's
just in it whatever, whatever room he's well, here's my
real quick there's a there's a huge difference between lying
and little jit being like yo, I'm marched with mlk's like, no,

(28:41):
you didn't write that's a lie, and then okay, he
why if you're the president of that states, you don't
come up with policy, you choose policy. So if he's
plagiarizing other people's ideas for how to make the country work,
he would be doing that as president anyway. He would be.
He would he's sitting in the Oval office and being like,

(29:01):
what are all the great policy ideas? And Elizabeth Warren
puts her packet down and says, here's my policy idea.
He goes, I love it, and it takes credit for
that's what every president does. Well, I think in terms
of like when you're rolling out a campaign though, and
you're saying, this is my idea that I have and
not even citing other ships, that's different. It's I don't
think it's really about the fact that he lifted it
from other things. It's the idea of like not even

(29:22):
citing if you're taking word for word chunks of that,
you should just leave a citation literally, And now I
agree with that. That needs to just be the thing
that people do, like I agree with Elizabeth Warren's plan. Yeah,
and if you elect me, I'll also do what And
then people go like, what's your idea? That's actually the

(29:43):
best idea. But then people are like, well, then why
don't we vote for her? Well remember Obama? And like
the thing that has everyone like, why don't you know
you told me earlier you work in you used to
work in politics. You just gave Joe Biden the White
House with that slogan, remember Obama, that's well, that's what

(30:03):
he's writing. Should literally just say that that is the
sentiment though, that is keeping him so high because people
then ignore things like he like his terrible record in
the past, like we didn't care during Obama. Yeah, well
this is different, I think now when we're comparing them
now and we have actual candidates, because Joe Biden is
not progressing the party forward by any means. So that's

(30:25):
why now when we have candidates who are like, we
actually are trying to move forward where this is, this
is something we're trying to do different than the previous
Democratic administration. What can we do differently? That's when he's like, look,
my idea is remember Obama. I'm not trying to like
throw my hat in the ring for Joe Biden, but
I will say this, the number one priority for the

(30:47):
Democratic Party should be to get Donald Trump out of
the white I'm not like, if if the country makes
a terrible decision and he's not he ends up being
the nominee, trust me, I'm gonna vote for who got absolutely,
But on the way there, I'm going to try and
make sure at the very least absolutely, because what you

(31:08):
don't want is then just sort of more of the
same one. We're like at a very critical point in
this country where like we actually need to begin taking
steps forward, because we took fucking nine hundred steps backwards
in the last two and a half years. So, you
know what, it's also just weird that like plagiarism bothers
me less than you know, if he's claiming I took

(31:31):
like I I wrote this entire book and it's actually
stolen from somebody else where. He's a writer and that's
the main way he makes his living. Uh, that's one thing.
But like you said, if if he's just bought like
borrowing ideas from different sources, that that doesn't bother me
on a politician as much. It's also just I find
it hard to believe that this isn't somehow related to

(31:55):
the amount of scrutiny he's getting as somebody who was
caught for plagiarizing for because like like be careful, you know. Yeah, yeah,
So like I think people are scanning every single thing
he puts out for plagiarism because it's just it just
doesn't make sense that his because like I said, he's
not writing any of this it's just different campaign staffers.

(32:19):
So his campaign staffers and eighty eight and now again
are more likely to plagiarize than everybody else's campaign staff
I mean. But the one thing I would say is
that it shows a lack of attention to detail, which
you need as a press Yeah, that's why I like,
to me, it's sure just cited. No, there's no you
don't get points off because you're like, this is other

(32:39):
information that's out there. But when you're like rushing together,
like yeah, this is the plan, you gotta you gotta
just be a little more thorough. It also just shows
you how we're playing two different games here. Why is
plagiar If plagiarizing a speech is the biggest controversial thing
of the day about a Democratic candidate, I would take
that over every day Donald Trump doing something that is

(33:03):
not only criminal, but it's unconstitutional. I would. I wish
the story of the day was Donald Trump plagiarized. Trump
plagiarized the last First Lady speech, the last one that
was given during the r n c UH just talking
about the remember Obama strategy, Um there there is. This

(33:26):
isn't gonna be as surprising to probably our listeners, but
there is an idea on the right that you know,
Trump was an indictment of the Obama administration. And there's
also you'll hear this idea that there's been this giant
right word shift in global politics essentially. But Nate Silver

(33:47):
was pointing out the other day that voters on the
two thousand and sixteen exit poll approved of Obama by
an eight point margin, which is larger than his margin
of victory in two thousand eight. So he had a
higher approval rating going out that he did coming in,
which is just not really the version of things that
you that you hear generally, at least in the mainstream.

(34:09):
He's the Titanic of President the movie, not the actual
ship itself. Right. Uh, I just want to clariform, I've
got people that will kill Uh. Let's talk about YouTube briefly.
We talked yesterday about some of their bizarre practices or
some of some of the weird algorithm is wacky and

(34:32):
it's serving up child content that has not intended to.
So there was also a controversy where a right wing
air Quotes comedian was basically bullying a Vox commentator about
his sexuality and race, and YouTube came out and officially
said that that did not violate their rules. But now

(34:55):
they're getting headlines because they have decided to remove thousands
of videos and channel that do violate their rules. Um,
so wait, so they didn't take down the Stephen Crowder ship,
which is the most like egregious in your face, he's
like and he's a gay Mexican yeah, and saying stuff
really fucking I think their defense was something like, oh,
it's a debate, and it's like, and this looks like

(35:18):
a one sided homophobic attack. Is he in the video?
Is he talking to the actual guy or is he
like talking director Cameron and one of those referencing referencing like,
I don't know who is he debating? But homophobia? So
I mean, as of this recording, his videos have not
been removed, but I mean they specifically said they were
not going to remove him and then said that they

(35:40):
were going to remove these other videos that do. So
I don't know that the headlines make it seem like
it's a progressive move, uh, and it appears to be
more of a oh you think he's bad, we'll look
at this ship that we're going to have to remove
type things. So what did get removed. They haven't said
specific channels. I think it's just uh, they've said that

(36:03):
it's going to be like white supremacists and things promoting
uh saying that events that happened didn't happen, so like conspiracy,
holocost and iron videos, what else Sandy Hook conspiously and
who knows enevity they're like. And we also take down
some Black Lives Matter activist videos because they were like

(36:24):
truth talking, but it makes people at this company uncomfortable,
So we had to take that down, right because we
don't want people in the right to think we're just
focusing on them because they're on the bad side. Let's
keep an eye on YouTube, not quite give them the
benefit of the doubt just yet. What is the official
policy though, of like that they say this triggers this policy?
Like what is their actual policy? Like why why is

(36:48):
if someone wants to do it as awful as this is.
If someone wants to do a video where they're like,
I think the Sandy Hook shooting didn't happen and it
was all crisis actors, what about that triggers the policy
in a way that what this guy was saying about
gay Mexicans isn't triggering. I have no idea. It seems
like a very inconsistent application of their sidelines because I

(37:09):
think also all you know, we see constantly on these
social media platforms or any platform the second you're like yeah, right, objectively,
a lot of this right wing content is just fucking
hateful bullshit that absolutely serves no purpose in our discourse
as human beings. When you take that down and like
it's fucking you're suppressing our fucking voice, and they get

(37:31):
scared and like, okay, right, well so then let's just okay,
well no, like no, do no doing hil Hitler stuff
on camera. If you do that, then that'll get taken off.
If you dog whistle this ship all the time, then
you give us a little more room to fucking act
like we don't know what the fund is going on,
rather than just being a little more objective about and
be like, no, this is this is not Personally, I

(37:52):
would rather they take down the dog whistle videos rather
than the one where it's up front and you go, oh,
this is easily rejectable by the body of people going
on YouTube. We can literally click away from this because
this is awful. But the dog whistle gets dogs barking.
That's what you don't want. You don't want a bunch
of people going, you know, there's some truth to this

(38:12):
whole blobby boop about the Holocaust. Not really, It's like
you've got to get rid of those videos because those
actually turned people. It's subtle, right, because it's subtle enough
to be like, no, I think it's about this other thing,
and you're like, oh no, now I've really gone into
the dark web. Um. There was so Carlos Mazza, who
is the the contributor of vox, he was tweeting at
YouTube and was just saying, so, you know, asking YouTube,

(38:36):
like what the fun is going on their team? YouTube
Twitter accounts said thanks again for taking the time to
share all this information with us. We take allegations of
harassment very seriously. We know this is important and impacts
a lot of people. Our team spent the last few
days conducting an end up review of the videos flagged
to us, and while we found language that was clearly hurtful,
the videos as posted don't violate our policies. We've included

(38:58):
more info below the in this decision, if yours says,
don't post content on YouTube if it's any of the
descriptions below, and it says, right the Yeah, so that's
what they wrote to him. We found language that was
clearly hurtful, but the videos didn't violate our policies. But
then when you go onto their harassment and cyber bullying policy,

(39:22):
it specifically says if you're posting content, uh, don't post
content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions
noted below. Content that makes hurtful and negative personal comments
videos about another person. Huh. I guess also by that token,
like a lot of Diesels, like a lot of Jesus

(39:43):
and Meryl videos to take it down, to come at,
come at DJ Envy and ship right, I'm sure d
And would be like take them chi off. But yeah,
I don't know. But DJ Envy is not a persecuted
minority in the country that needs to like actually not bullying. No,
but a lot of people think he is a lot

(40:04):
of dj and the activists want us to believe. But yeah, again,
it's there's no consistency to how this is used because
again they I'm sure all this right wing content is
another revenue stream for them that they're very aware of,
and they have to do the math on what that
means to their bottom line, and they're like, what are
they going to do? Start using video? I just wish

(40:27):
people would be honest and just say, any content that
negatively affects our revenue stream is going to be taken down.
Any content that promotes revenue stream, no matter how vile
or discussing it is, we're going to keep it up
as long as it makes us money. Just tell me that,
and then I can go Okay, I can live with

(40:48):
the consequences of using YouTube knowing that YouTube is evil, right, right?
I do it with Google and Google's policies don't. It's
been a long time since they've been adhering to that, right,
Um guys, let's talk about air pods. Uh, do you
guys have air pods? No? No, I don't have no
AirPods doing that? Well, what do you find people who

(41:10):
I do have air pods? Do they fall out? I
just wanted to tell you three. Oh that XM Radio
six month preview ran out. Oh so it just plays
that one preview channel. H got it. They don't fall out. Actually,

(41:34):
I've said I think the air pod is the best
product Apples made since the iPhone. Uh, it's it's pretty Yeah,
it's just good. It's good. And I find myself leaving
them in out of laziness and just because I like,
after I get off a call or when I stop
a podcast or something, I just forget to take them out.
And I always feel lame for doing that. But there's

(41:56):
a new article in the Atlantic that says that they
can actually be a good thing. Uh, not just for like,
you know, ignoring people who are trying to get you
to buy something or sign something, or little people being
all daddy, play with me, I'm hungry, um, but also
for women. It's actually an effective way. This one was

(42:18):
pointing out to like ignore street harassers and like people
will be less likely to cat call you. And when
they do cat call you, if they see that you're
wearing air pods, they'll be less likely. They won't get
their feelings hurt if you don't respond to them, like,
what's up girl, looking tummy thick? Come on, oh my,

(42:42):
what are you listening to? Forget it? Okay, go go sorry,
because that's how exactly And yeah, so basically they're right.
Feeling at ease in a public space, especially for those
who identify as women, can be an impossible balancing act. Uh.
That's from a sociology professor at Hastings College. Uh. Wearing

(43:05):
headphones is just one of the many tactics available to
a woman in America going about her life while trying
and at times failing, not to be assaulted. What a
sad resignation of how shitty men are that. You're like,
you know what, one of the best things about air
pods is it makes the the coster feel okay with
their acost that they won't have their feelings hurt and

(43:26):
continue to It's like, no, take if some dude is accosting,
you take those air pods off and embarrass his ass
and make him look stupid in front of everybody. Yeah.
But the sad thing is we have people in this
in this world who if that did happen, they might
have fucking violently attack you. You know. She's also very true.
That's why it's such a double edged sword. And I think,
I mean, yeah, like this is more of an indictment

(43:47):
on man man many kind stop harassing women the and alright,
we've solved it the world. But yeah, I mean, like, yeah,
it is. It is sort of on one hand, you're like, oh,
that is interesting, but it's like this is another strategy
that that women, this is what you're left with, or
like this is but this thing in your ear. Why

(44:11):
is it that the air pod, though, is more effective
than the regular headphones at that or or beats do
the same thing. Could you imagine I know you hear
me because you got beats on. Yeah, I won't be
fooled by your tactic. I read the Atlantic article and
it was only air pods. The Atlantic article said that
I love people culture regular they specifically bring up like

(44:41):
more cumbersome headphones and say that those have been uh
seen as a targeting thing, like because it's harder to
I guess even if you have the no music on
or whatever. It's I think people assume that you can't
hear them, and also you are less likely like you
can't hear as well. Um well yeah either way. I mean,

(45:04):
I think it's also on men to fucking do you
hear that ship you tell another man shut the funk up?
My man? Yes? How about that? Yes? What if that
dude's wearing AirPods? And oh my bad, I didn't know
you was AirPods? Keep Catcolm, It's also a great way
to hear some people say some wild ship when you're
like right next to them, because they think you can't
hear them. You like, just people's conversations. This guy's wearing AirPods.

(45:29):
You don't think the Holocaust happen. That's right, exactly the
things people say when I have these AirPods in. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back and uh. During the break, super producer

(45:53):
on A. Hosnie pointed out that she actually has some
experience with wearing air pods, specifically in New York City. Well,
I mean, for as long as I can remember, even
before AirPods, I was always just putting headphones on so
no one would speak to me when I was outside.
And it's something you know, you especially do in New
York City because the cat calling is rampant. But uh yeah,
but sometimes I'll put it on. I won't even make

(46:14):
the effort to put anything on because I'm like, I'm
just like walking down the street, but I don't want
to be spoken to and I don't want anyone to
try and interact with me. Um. But at times that
doesn't really stop them. They will still yell things Like
one time a guy drove by when I was in Brooklyn,
specifically standing outside my friend's apartment, and I had the
headphones in, and he still said I bought that ass,
that I'd bite that ass, which is kind of a

(46:36):
funny thing. It's almost like if you would let me,
I would bite that Ass's still like a question of
consent and buried in that it was like those things right,
Basically he might have thought you couldn't hear him. It

(46:59):
was just comment ting to people around him. Guys, just
f y, I I do all of my um my
cat calling and the subjunctive moves. What is it? Is
it just that everybody is so close in New York
that makes New York just so I think, Yeah, there's
just like a lot of people and you know, just

(47:20):
in certain cultures, cat calling isn't necessarily considered you know,
like a bad thing like some you know, it just
depends like context is you know, very important because in
some communities, like you can cat call and the woman
would be like, oh my god, well well well he's interested.
But like macho culture has completely taken over. But you

(47:41):
know that's you know, that's how it goes. Like, you know,
I feel like as an American woman born and raised
in America, I especially today, Like, you know, I'm not
always bothered by cat calling because it's so at times
it's not really like I don't in any way take
it seriously. I'm just like, Okay, Like when I was
walking the dog the other day, some guys said he

(48:02):
walked by me smoking a huge like blunt on the street,
blew the smoke out in my face. I was like,
what the fun and then he was like, you are beautiful,
and I was like, this is like what I thought
I was gonna be, like, oh, oh my god, you
have just brought me through my knees, like im what,

(48:27):
like we're just blue smoke in my face, and that
told me I was beautiful. So there's just a level
of absurdity to it that you're like, okay, the ship
like that, which I feel like, you know, that's just
an unnecessary compliment from a stranger, and then people being
like I would assault you in this manner like kind
of cat like yeah, yeah, but it's I mean, it's

(48:50):
not necessary. But I do think, you know, it depends
on the person, Like if that's your thing and you
want to be cat called, that you shouldn't feel any
sort of shame about it. But also at the same time,
you don't need to be calling every woman on the
street like it's just not gonna work. It's not gonna
be like, oh that one didn't work about this one?
I know what. I think. That's the question I had period. Yeah,
that's the question I've always had. We actually had Danny

(49:12):
Fernandez on the podcast my last podcast, to talk about
this because she was like, just there's that saying that men,
when you ask them what they do if they were
a woman for a day, they're they're like, you know,
grab my boobs or like something supil like that, and
women are like and if you say, women, what would
you do if you were a man for a day,

(49:33):
They're like run outside with headphones on at night, like
you know things that like men take for granted that
like we we can do that women can't because it's unsafe.
And you know what I would do. I would tell
I would be out here with my opinions and see,
I just want to see how everyone goes, Oh, that's
not interesting. It's like okay, well let me stop you there.

(49:55):
You know, just I want to just feel like, how
if I just said some crazy ash ship, but the
confident man's voice to see how seriously people would take me,
probably very thin, Like sometimes I say things you are
like Anna, but if I was like a man like,
so this is what I think, assume that's how you
guys might be like, that's so interesting. Yeah, I can

(50:15):
see where you're coming. You mean, like when you're be like,
I think frog butts are cute. Wait, let's do it.
Let's do a little experiment real quick. So say what
you just said in the manly tone. I don't know,
you guys, sometimes I just think frogs to have some
cute little butts. She got a point. What did you say?

(50:40):
You know, sometimes I would you fry a little frog,
but it's cute. Got a nice oh my good wow
coming with the drops. Um, thank you, thank you, and
thank you for right. I guess that man way to

(51:01):
much privilege and we're trash um. Yeah. I I also
do that trick, by the way, just because I have
social anxiety though, I just don't want to talk to people.
I used to do that all the time when I
worked at a bigger office, Like just be like, I'm
listening to podcasts as part of my job. Can't talk
co worker looking at a blinking cursor on a blink

(51:24):
Google doc. Have you ever done fake phone call where
you pretend to be on a phone call? Like, oh yeah,
I love a fake phone I do at least like
one of those a day. What's in the office. What's
your strategy for a good fake phone call? How do
you do it? Because there's a few I do. Don't
spill the beans because you're talking to right now. Hey, Look,
I can improve you know what I mean. I can
come up with all kinds of scenarios like this, Hello,

(51:49):
what now? Hold on? Hold on, hold on, hold on,
and then walk out. That's good. That's do not hold
on because I think a time honored one. Yeah, that's good.
Let's talk about legal weed and Taco bell Yeah. So
Marijuana Biz Daily, go to source for news in the

(52:10):
marijuana industry. They were just talking about annual US cannabis
sales versus other industries. And I just want to leave
us with this little nugget, right, legal recreational and medical
cannabis in eighteen did somewhere around ten billion dollars. Taco
bell in ten point eight billion dollars. So Taco bell

(52:31):
is is going to be eclipsed by legal weeds soon,
which I feel like it's like a chicken or the
egg kind of situation with those two things. Yeah, I
feel like you need it's like a matching program. Yeah,
one K matching exactly what that is? But I like that. Um,
it's but what they're saying is by twenty it will
pass the revenue of the NFL oh wow, which also

(52:55):
bands its players from weed, which I think is stupid. Yeah,
it's just don't get high the fun. I mean, who,
what was Ricky Williams that good because he smoked weed? This?
I mean, just imagine that if he didn't. I can't
even wrap my head around the fact that that dude
was high all the time putting up those numbers. These
numbers are pretty crazy. But again this is let's been

(53:16):
saying three that it could exceed Americans collective spending on
gym memberships, which is around twenty eight billion. So this
is this goes NFL online food delivery seventeen, gym membership
twenty six billion, pizza forty five billion, total demand for

(53:36):
so that's like part of the study. But then wine
seventy two billion. Fuck you know what the fuck? Keep
spending that on the list. Coffee is not Fortnite only
get your numbers up three point six billion. Gold I

(53:57):
don't go. I don't know like to put goldfish crackers
as the lowest one e nine billions. But great person
just has like some sort of beef with goldfish stunting
on Pepper's farm. Hate chess man. But they're saying, if
you actually think about what the actual like, including the
black market, what the actual demand is like in the

(54:17):
United States, they think it's somewhere around fifty and sixty billion,
So it's around pizza, pizza numbers, pizzaza. Wine. Man, you
can't touch wine, I think also because there are bottles
that are so expensive. It's different where like cannabis is
you know why am I call cann the weed? You
know the tree is gonna get cheaper as it becomes legal,

(54:38):
and you know, when you think about what the ingredients
are to grow, it's less like what it is for
like wine that you age and stuff like you'll never
be like, oh, this is a vintage San Fernando Valley
two eight vintage o G cush They're gonna try try
and is just all about marketing, man, because it's just
it just got that reputation for being like a high

(55:00):
class way to get fucked up, and that's man. People
really felt for that ship. Let me ask you a
question about that. Eggs and bacon, When do you eat
them morning? Yeah, that's not that shouldn't be the case.
Eggs and bacon was as a breakfast food was a
marketing ploy by I don't like big bacon, big bacon,
and big egg anymore. Now that the egg industry has

(55:24):
introduced their marketing campaign for dinner eggs, they're they're trying
to like get out of that. It's a sad video.
We were about to talk about it like nine out
of ten episodes the last two weeks, but we just
kept punting a dinner egg from the egg, the Incredible
edible egg. But it was like this lame mockumentary that
was like and I noticed my egg laying hands were

(55:45):
laying eggs at night, and I was like, what are
we gonna do these extra eggs and we're like dinner
eggs and it's like and they're like, try dinner eggs.
Can't wait. It's like extra eggs. That's the don't need
extra eggs for dinner. I got the eggs you're refrigerating
for breakfast that I could just make at night. That's
the logic they're using, that you need the din eggs

(56:06):
and also like, if you're really like egg Gang, you're
gonna eat them ships whenever you want any exactly. So
I don't need this at night. I'm still gonna make
them when I have to make dinner. I'm just gonna
feel bad when I have to figure that hard fried
eggs sin he scramble them, don't know how to do it.

(56:26):
But do you think if wine was illegal, people would
be like dealing wine? Well, there was a period of history,
didn't They just didn't. They just deal like liquor. They
didn't deal with liquor, beer and wine all that alcohol. Man. Wine,
wine is just so much more popular than I realized.
What about pizza? If pizza was illegal, do you think
people would deal people? Yes, they'd be Yes, they would,

(56:48):
but you know what it is. It's one of those
things though you could figure out how to make it yourself,
like I wouldn't if pizza became illegal. I would figure
out how to finesse it myself on unless someone has
like the fire, you know, wood fired oven, and you're like, yo,
it's perfect. He flew it in from Italy. Then only
fourteen people get to eat from it a week. The
wine industry figured some ship out. Man, well you know,

(57:11):
and well fuck, I wonder how much the rose boom
fucking help that out, because now everything is rose and
it's it's all trash. Wine drinkers are suckers, love wine.
I drink a bottle of Day right, could keep the
Doctor's very close to you, The doctor right by me.

(57:33):
Me and my dog have a great rapport. Yeah, I
like when I gotta go see him, doctor Livingston. It's
a bottle of wine I get from seven eleven. Yeah,
I mean I like, I like a nice glass of Gruner,
you know, some white Austrian wine, you know, yeah with
your flesh man. Yeah you know what nice pairing? Yeah,
oh yes, yes, shitty red yellowtail Cabernet. I pair it

(57:56):
with basketball. There you go. That's my styleball. I just
sad spalding sliver. But that's the thing is that, like
it hasn't penetrated like any markets except for like rich
people food like pairing. Like it's not like it's ever

(58:17):
advertised as like to go with the NBA like finals,
have this glass of wine. Well that's why that was surprised.
Why it's like so big, but it's so specific. It
seems like, yeah, well because it's it's just yeah, I
mean I wonder what beer does. Yeah, like because it
is one of those things, Yeah you have you have
for a more elevated experience, you drink wine, like let's

(58:39):
have rose time, let's have brunch. You know. Weed is uh,
they got to work on their marketing more. You know.
Now that's scary. If weed is doing this good of
business without this marketing push, it would imagine imagine how
much it'll imagine the profits. One thing though, that was

(58:59):
into thing they said California actually underperformed compared to like
what the industry projections were. And I think that's because
in California, just like we're like when he became legal,
we're like, oh okay, yeah, we're like yeah, thank you.
I don't know anybody in California who wasn't already smoking
weed when it well, like, and I get in other

(59:20):
states where it's been so vilified and like been like
oh you get arrested, why people then line up like
around the block to go, you know, by their first joint.
Because it's so sort of you know, exotic, whereas I
think here, it's just part of the landscape. Okay, this
makes me feel a little bit less blown away. So
it's all we're just all alcoholics because it's the overall

(59:41):
beer market per year is a fourteen Yeah, let me
look up spirits. I'm sure it's all just we like alcohols. Yeah,
that's why I'm like, yo, just relax, nobody's gonna start
smoking more weird than drinking because well, wait, what's the
porn uh numbers for revenue? It can't be that. It's
in the billions, but it had a It created the

(01:00:05):
internet because you couldn't have to buy tapes anymore in
the ad space on like sites. But it's all driving
to other porn site. Yeah, it's not like I haven't
seen like a buicle across ad buy more cars and
hold on, brassers, pause buicle across Wait, what kind of

(01:00:25):
a pr fu. I'm gonna have to put this bottle down?
You are a marketing Gus hit him with that. Uh
so distilled spirits was only twenty seven point five bills,
so much lower than beer and wine. So all right,
shout out to Americans for convincing themselves that they're drinking
and moderation. We like a cheap, affordable high Well yeah,

(01:00:48):
now you know all the nihilism that's going around, right,
why not just get something there? Uh? And finally, this
is big news for just Shade dudes. I guess come on, sorry,
sorry sorry sorry sorry? Uh so this I don't know
this is this is one of those This feels like

(01:01:09):
the Derritos Locos taco from Taco Bell of uh gaming.
I don't know of two brands I'm not that familiar with. Well.
Links Now, if you live in the UK or Australia
and New Zealand, you know it as a that's their
version of AX body spray body right. They call Links

(01:01:32):
over there they are doing a collaboration Links body Spray
or doing a line of deodorants, body spray, shampoo, body wash,
all that ship with Microsoft for an Xbox themed line
of Links products. M hmm, I know you look yep,
Lucas looks very confused. And when you look at the packaging,
look at that. I mean they did a good job
making the bottles look like their Xbox, like an Xbox,

(01:01:55):
and in my mind I already associate things like Links
and AX with Xbox. Like, in my mind, that's the
smell of gaming people who don't like to bathe and
just hitch you real quick with that Xbox. Yeah ship
given away free fucking advice. You just give a billion
dollar market. Yeah uh. And so I was like, when

(01:02:19):
I was curious, what does this like? They say? The
links Xbox scent is quote described as a fresh scent
of pulsing green citrus, featuring top notes offear, lime and
winter lemon, aromatic herbal, middle notes of mint and sage,
and woody bottom notes of patuli and clearwood. I like,
how they are really giving you those fucking I used

(01:02:41):
to work at the Coach store and I remember when
the Coach perfume first came out. We had to have
those whole fucking training on how to describe this ship
to customers, and it was always this top note middle note.
I'm like, I don't know what the funk I'm doing.
Can I just go in the back and box it up?
Why are they listing sense of that nature to a
clientele that does not give a ship about those specifics.

(01:03:02):
When you're when you're you think you'd be like, well,
hold on truly and clear wood. Okay, but truly makes
sense because I feel like that's the O g scumback
sent people who rocked a bunch of petruly oil. Oh yeah,
that's just me. That was that was like more like
but I growing up, I remember like a lot of
my parents friends like the eighties like still smell. I

(01:03:26):
was always like, yo, thatd smells like weird? Ask would
gardeners people in the marketing industries, marketing industries like gang
Let me know what it is about the letter X
that these brands have figured out because Xbox begins and
ends with XS, links has an X in it. X
is basically an X word on well, all those extreme

(01:03:51):
products from the nineties, they're all like aimed at the
same demographic they Was it the X games that did well?
The X games? Like just man, you think X men
you know what I mean? O X X was X
solved for X boys? Love X got me? Yeah? But

(01:04:19):
the door like something about that sound or is it
just the site? I feel like it must have coincided.
Was I feel like there was a huge wave because like,
what were we doing X shit before two? No? I
think it was like nine two. Somebody just figured that out.
And I feel like around when did we really like
because there are things that just have like X Men
obviously that's been around, that's not necessarily a function of

(01:04:41):
like a marketing you know, fad, but like I feel
like the X Games, Generation X maybe that whole ship.
I think gen X probably started to start because then
Gen X was like a huge consumer block too, like
they're Gen X there, gen next, PEPSI, Generation Next. Yeah,
I don't know. I'm sure somebody has done a study

(01:05:03):
on like shout out, shout out marketing zite gang uh Lucas,
it's been awesome having you man. You can find me
on Instagram with my very lacking follower base, uh at
Luca Zachary has it. But you can also really primarily
catch me on the Lifetime show American Princess, which is
airing every Sunday at nine o'clock. Every funny person, Isn't

(01:05:26):
that show really funny? What is? I just keep hearing
people I love on podcasts saying that they're in that show.
And they hired just a ton of people who are
in comedy communities in both like New York Chicago, And
I said both, but in Chicago, New York, l A.
So it's got a lot of what's the premise of
the show. So it takes place at a Renfair, and

(01:05:48):
this is that a young woman, uh, an upper class
Jewish woman, is about to get married her husband or fiance.
She catches him getting his dick sucked right before they
get married. So she runs off and you know, Renfair,
and she meets a bunch of crazy characters, one of

(01:06:09):
whom I play. I play a mud beggar. Um are
you a Renfair dude? In real life? I actually went
to the rent Fair this path like maybe two months ago,
and I was legitimately blown away. I was like, this
is not It's a world that I had ever thought
like people like the whole reenactment and LARPing and all

(01:06:32):
that is beyond me. And when I went, I was
just like, holy sh it, you can totally lose yourself
in this world. And I absolutely see why people do it. Yeah,
I hear man, I remember I go. I used to
grow up going to the Rent Fair a lot, and
I in Ohio go to the Labyrinth Festival. I don't know,
there's okay this, I'm this is some ship. I found
out when I went to the rent Fair, Because you know,

(01:06:53):
when you go like a lot of the people dressed
up are like fucked up, a drunk and stone and
like mild and like everyone's wearing rocking the old like
type ship and I like, one dude, I was just like,
I was like, yeah, loo's everyone just drunk. He's like yeah,
And I was like, because he was working, I'm like what,
I'm like, so do you travel with this thing? He's like, yeah,
some people do. Somebody's a show up. He's like, but

(01:07:15):
there's like a camp at night and he's like, it
goes off and it's just like back in now. Yah.
And all of those themes are explored in fun ways
in the show. Man. Oh so there's that whole like
swinger vibe that because I'm sure is that present in
the show too. Well. The creator of the show, Jamie Denbo,
used to work at a rent fair and she um

(01:07:36):
worked at a place called Sterling Festival, which was in
upstate New York, and so she wanted to make this
show that like honored how cool and communal this this
world was. And so everything that's in the show is
in some way, shape or form inspired by the experiences
she went through when she was performing in this rent

(01:07:58):
So it's we get in all getting into that on
Goofy Love It. Yeah, Jamie Denbo was on couples Therapy
with her husband with John Ross Bowie. Is that her
husband John Ross Bowie. Oh, she's in the show too.
Damn everybody they got everybody man. Basically, if you're funny,
you're gonna be in the show. Come to the rent Fair.

(01:08:19):
I mean we're talking about how renfairs are so dope
that Disney is like stealing Renfairs for their new Star Wars,
that they made it like an immersive experience and characters
walking around here gonna like funk with you, and like
that's the new thing the original they made their actors
who play the characters start getting sucked up before they
come to work. Everybody's like, yeah, high on death sticks. Yeah,

(01:08:43):
just high on the forest man that Uh, Miles, where
can people find? You? Find me and follow me on
Twitter and Instagram at miles of Gray? And is there
a tweet you've been enjoying? Wait did you say you
like to tweet? Oh? I haven't asked you you like

I used Twitter, but a friend of mine I posted

(01:09:04):
something on Instagram on an instant story where I was
trying to like, well, I was, I was trying to
like make a point about how I think straight Pride
parades that are popping up all over are stupid and
why they're stupid, and the point I made accidentally made
it sound like I was saying Pride is stupid. So
he sent me this tweet. Um, she is Ava Victor

(01:09:26):
at Ava and her at avon or I U d um.
Yeah that video where she said me explaining to my
boyfriend why we're going straight Pride, and it's a video
of her just being hilarious about why this is the thing.
She definitely caught away with like those me explained live
videos or like me mullering during a lunch order. Yeah,

(01:09:47):
I saw that video and I was just like, ah,

way to have gotten more clearly and concisely, and so
