Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is

(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well, we are thrilled to be joined
in our third seat. It's the end of a long band. Uh.
We are thrilled to have him back. He is the
co host of one of my favorite podcasts, The Flagrant
Ones on Patreon. He is Mr Carl Tart. I'm bad.

(00:50):
Click clack, bottle clack. Most of your new listeners don't
know who I. Oh they do if they listen to podcast.
Come on, Carl, yeah, baby warming, baby, don't be too modest.
Now I've missed you fellas so much. Carl. How have
you been, man, it's been a year and a half.
It's been a year and a half. I've been good. Uh,

(01:11):
you know, eating vegetables, trying to drink some water. Uh
you know kind of vegetables. Uh, you know, broccoli, steaming
the broccoli, putting like a three three centimeters of water
in the big gas pot and throwing the broccoli in there.
I like my broccoli soft, which means not nutritious. Yeah. Oh,
you're just cooking all the nutrients out of it. With

(01:32):
cooking all the nutrients ode of the damage. Because that's
like the first broccoli I was able to stomach was
over a microwave frozen broccoli. Uh. And sometimes I love
just mushy. I like broccoli. I like cheddar cheese with
little pieces of broccoli in it. That's the type of
broccoli that I prefer more in the cheese. Yeah, you're

(01:53):
in the cheese like broccoli cheese soup when they make that, Yeah, exactly,
I'll always be down up for a bullet broccoli cheese soup.
For some reason, it's probably the worst decision you can make.
But there are times when I see it on a
menu and I'm like, I'm gonna try it, and I
gotta get into broccoli cheese soup. Brocoli cheese soup is
something that I've never It's something about eating cheese with

(02:13):
a spoon that has never quite mesh for me. And
I love nacho's, I love, I love cheese sauce. But
for some reason, when it's like eating it with a spoon,
it's like give me a chip. Yeah, No, that's called dignity.
That's the thing that is preventing you from wanting to
eat melted cheese with the sea because usually when I

(02:33):
order it at Subway, they always say, oh, you're serious,
you know, from us, from us, from this one behind me. Yeah,
And and you wanted a foot long tune us up.
I'm like yes, Like I'm gonna call Okay, you might
need an intervention, Carl. You've also been eating a lot

(02:56):
of fast food on dough Boys. Well, another one of
our favorite podcast, what what's the what's the best thing
you've eaten? Uh? In your time as a as a
guest on dough Boys with the dough Boys, the best
thing I had? Uh? Well, I mean, you know, waffle
House is my favorite restaurant in America, and we did.
I did waffle House with those cats. Um. I definitely

(03:18):
had some Culver's was good. That was in Milwaukee. I
enjoyed that. Um Detroit, Detroit. I still I still got
a bone to pick with Detroit because I went and
I put cheese on my coney dog. Because I didn't
grow up. The only conies I had growing up was
Sonic and it's a chili cheese county. So and also
I like, when I eat something with chili, I want

(03:40):
cheese with it. This is the cheese cheese cast. And
and when I like, I put cheese on it, and
the audience like started to boo me when I said that.
I'm like, hey man, all of y'all could kiss my
cheesy at wait, so like you because you mentioned that
you so it's a it's a violation to put on

(04:01):
when I've had like Coney's, like Cincinnati style chili, like
Skyline or gold Star cheese is on there, and it
didn't seem like a transgression. But I guess it's all
it's all regional, regional. That's it's probably them trying to
separate themselves from that. But you know, like how in
Chicago they get mad at you if you put ketchup
on you. And I'm gonna put I'm going to the

(04:22):
South Side and telling everybody I ain't starting from into
l a Alex. Finally, what's a myth? Man? What's what's
something people just you know, just drop some truth on people.
Open their minds right now? What's a myth? I think?
And this is what I want to like yell at
everyone I see. It's like like I think there's a

(04:43):
myth that we are past the beginning of coronavirus stuff,
like like the people are like, we did the beginning, okay,
and now we can start to go back out, like
the very early part happened, and like people like we
went to this protest on Saturday, and then as we
were like leaving to home, there were like the let's
hit the bars crowds showing up with no masks. It

(05:04):
was pretty upsetting. I really didn't like it as a
social practice, Like like I think there's kind of three stages,
Like there's the beginning where cases are going up and
we don't have good systems, and then there's the middle
where cases are backed down and we have good systems,
and then there's like a later date when we'll have
a care vaccine or something, and we're in the beginning still,
Like people need to really be careful, they need to
stay home if they can, and I think people also

(05:26):
to like there. I was reading a few threads from
medical professionalism write ups and things just about like the
idea of what it means to recover from COVID nineteen,
and there are so many Yes, there is the version
where it's just a flu there are people also getting
lung transplants and all these other severe, severe medical issues.

(05:47):
So once I you know, like early on when I
was reading about like when people are like they don't
tell you what it's like when you even have to
be on a ventilator, like what that means for you?
After um, when I was like, yes, it was easier
to feel strong when it was like it could be
a flu. But when you sort of look at what
the risks are, it's it's really frightening. It's also so

(06:07):
discouraging to see people like truly like give up on
social distancing ostensibly out of boredom. Like it just sounds
like even even people that were still like very on
board and very like, no, we have to stick to
this even a month ago, are now just like I
think we're done. Like it just it's because it's not

(06:28):
like dominant in the conversation. People are just like, Okay,
so this is fine. It's like no, it's not fine.
Thin opening opening reopening has you know, eliminated. It has
brought FOMO back because before it was easy to be
like I'm not going out and ship open. Who gives
a funk, I'm inside. We have to do this. But

(06:49):
the second you start hearing wait, you start seeing people
partying over here or going out to eat over there,
some people who I guess are purely just driven by
like this need to socialize or be out or can
zume or be served or whatever, Like all that stuff
just goes straight out the window. Um, And I wonder
how much it also shows like in l A too right,
because I can only speak for what I see in

(07:11):
this city and state. But our cases are not going
down and we're up still Yea, All that to me
are going significantly still. It's like we're reopening. And I
feel like every person this just shows how I don't
know blindly, I don't know. Now. This is what I'm

(07:31):
trying to figure out, and I posit this to this
crew here of is it a mixture of people just
blindly believing that the state knows what's best and that's
why they're going out because they're like, well, why would
they why would they open stuff if we couldn't go out?
Or is it I'm trying to figure out what's motivating
these people, because I'm sure there is a group of

(07:52):
people who are just like, well, why would they open
if it wasn't safe, but right, I think I think
exactly what you said, Miles, And then I think it's
also and I think it's especially Americans. We just have
this mentality that like problems don't last, Like you hear
about a problem and then if you kind of stop

(08:12):
hearing about the problem, it's probably over and so it's
fine even though like a problem can just keep going,
you know, or like like I I'm not a doctor,
I'm not a scientist, but like there was news I
read when this started and it said X things were
happening with cases, and I was like, time to stay home.
And then I read the news now and it's like
the same stories. I think I should keep staying home.
Like that's all I know. I'm just a guy who

(08:33):
has Twitter, but that's what I see. Some of it
does feel like social media brain of just like if
people aren't seeing it in their feeds constantly, they're just like, oh,
I guess I guess that's done, which is applies to
many situations right now. Um, but it's also I don't know,
some of it is just it seems like just straight
up willful arrogance, where it like I had a family

(08:56):
friend back in Massachusetts still like throw her daughter a
graduation party, and her reasoning was that, like, well, we
understand social distancing at this point, like we we like
the vibe was very like we get it, it'll be safe,
and it's like if you're bringing people into your home,

(09:17):
it's not safe, like and there were old people. There's
just yeah, I think the assumption of like, Okay, I
know how to socially distance and feeling like you you know,
no one knows how to deal with this correctly. So
so going in with that mentality, it's just like bound
to be a disaster. Feel well, and even to your point, Alex, like,

(09:38):
America has this habit of entering a period of a
self examination or awareness around something, and there's definitely a
threshold for pain that you know, the collective consciousness of
America is willing to sort of endure. And once that
we get past that, it's like, Okay, do we really

(09:59):
have to keep talking about this anymore? Because I think
for coronavirus, it was, you know, people just sort of
got to the point where now they're discomfort around having
to deal with the truth is just too much and
it's just a rejection of reality. It seems like and
I think just even to what you're saying about ignoring
problems that persist, whether that's systemic racism, homophobia, transphobia, you know,

(10:20):
genocide of indigenous people, whatever it is, people are willing
to look at it to a point, and then when
it becomes too uncomfortable, like okay, can we really just
please stop? Can we stop? Actually, like I get it,
I get it, just to your point, even to Jamie
about this person's saying, so, yeah, we get it, we
get it. It's not like no, no, it's not that
we just the point was you for you to agree
that social distancing is needed, and there's go a step

(10:42):
further and understand what the risks are to you and
other people, much in the same way with people coming
having this you know, aha moment with racism in the country.
Go a step further now and understand what that is experientially,
not just sort of like right, I get it, I
get it. Right, these things aren't happening for you to
have you get it like, it's that that's not how

(11:03):
events work, that's not how the world works, and it
just yeah, yeah, and I think, but I guess, and
even I guess to go deeper when you look at
even how we're educated, right, we're even in our own history,
we're shown like this thing of like then there was
this problem and that went away, and then there was
this thing and then that went away, and then there
was Hitler, and then Nazis went away, and then there
was this and it's too. It completely robs people of

(11:27):
the ability to to pass through the nuances of you know,
how any given event unfolds and then how that that
event echoes into eternity if there isn't a reckoning with it. Yeah,
and I think a tendency. I've been trying to like
reflect on this more recently of just like how it's
very it seems very common in the way we're taught history.

(11:50):
Especially it's like there was a gigantic systemic problem and
it was solved by one or two people and then
the problem hasn't existed since where Like I been because
my mom's a second grade teacher, and I've been talking
to her about like, well, what do you teach your kids,
and like, you know what broad lies are still being
taught to kids, and it's still like in a lot

(12:13):
of schools, it's basically taught that like like Martin Luther
King solved racism basically single handedly, and now you know,
great and now it's gone, and real text book should
say Martin Luther King was assassinated when he began to
connect the dots for people between capitalism and oppression. Talking

(12:33):
the books did not reflect that. That would be off,
burn your eyebrows off level of truth coming out of
that textbook. But that's but even then it's like not
even hot because that's just the grim reality of it.
But we like, well, I don't say that. It's like
we don't say what the truth because it's so dark.
Imagine teaching capitalism as a concept at all as a

(12:54):
part of history, like never came up in a class
that I took in high school. Well, but that's what
the schools are. We're also taught, like through this process
of academia to become workers. Also, like that's the that's
our training first, and then we enter the workforce where
we've been fully indoctrinated and inoculated and know how to
be like, yeah, you do this and then you get that,
and that's how it works. I do this, I do

(13:15):
my homework, I get a grade. I do my work,
I get a paycheck. It's all man there's a lot,
and then I stopped up. And then I prop up
the system by telling people to depend on the man
for bread when themselves I'm a stooge. Guys don't listen
to me for Alex. Yeah, we all watched at least

(13:37):
some of Three and sixty five Days, which is the
number one movie on Netflix. Real quick before we get
to that, did you guys watch the Chappelle special that dropped?
I think last week. I saw the first fifteen minutes
of it. Mm hmm. I watched it and it was

(13:58):
it was great. I watched it last night. I've never
seen him that passionate. I've never seen him that like man.
He's just I wanted to include him and my Underrated
because I feel like there's still a contingency of people
who don't consider him the goat. And I know goat
conversations are redundant and comedy is subjective, and but that

(14:24):
guy is is at least of like of the past
thirty years. I'll give I'll give him the crown if
you want to give Eddie the crown. Raw came out
like that's thirty three years. I'm I'm rocking with with
with Chappelle over the like the go of the past
thirty three years, and that's with Chris and other people.

(14:47):
And I'm and I'm I'm giving him my crown of all.
Like I think he's the best one, I think with
evolution because I am a big believer in evolution and
George Soros and I uh, I'm you know, Lebron's my guy.
Lebron's my goat. And at that moment when he was
giving Lebron his road man, I was in. I was

(15:08):
in this couch. I was on the couch crying, crying
and jacking off the same time. There's there's something about
Dave Chappelle, you know, like he has you know, a
lot of people choose to focus on things that he
says that are controversial, but there's a lot, like he
says in his special, it's like he's been speaking about

(15:30):
this for a long time. And I think the beauty
of his work is that it's almost like his shows
and stuff had just laid the groundwork for people to
wake up because people are familiar with the humor of
like the sort of nihilistic attitudes black people have in
terms of existing in this country, or the nihilism we
feel about racism, and when that ends that it's always

(15:52):
become a way to just make jokes that make some
people uncomfortable other people really laugh. Um. And then to
watch him sort of really, he's just becoming such a
like a I don't know, the the way he was
talking about everything, uh, that was just going beyond his
ability to be a comedian. I think it was just impressive.
I think seeing a lot of people evolving that way,

(16:13):
it's kind of interesting. Right now. He's just such a
smart dude man, like, like I wish I had the
brain capacity that he does. Over the quarantine, I used
him as an example as I watched his uh uh
Kennedy Center Honors what was that? What that was? Or
like and just talking about how much he reads and
stuff like that. So I was like, you know, I'm
gonna start reading. I'm gonna start reading some of these

(16:34):
books that he talks about and stuff like that, and
I'm still dumb as hell. And it was just like,
but he's such a smart dude. And the way, like
the way he does stand up comedy, I feel like
the way it is supposed to be where you take
something and you have a take on it that makes
everybody think and like, he's just hands down man, He's

(16:56):
he's the go. He's the living, the living legend man
him going on. I ran about Lebron like I was
just like, oh my gosh, this is my world's colliding.
You get it tatted now that se logo? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
he gets I always talk about that though the fact
that Lebron at sevent team was on the cover of SI.

(17:18):
The fact that I always bring up is that he
Nike and Adidas had billboards in his hometown that were
aimed only at him. They were trying to recruit him,
Like imagine having advertisements where like like growing up in
The Truman Show, except bigger, because like everybody is openly

(17:41):
like creating the world around your your reality. And then
he became the best player of It's like, what the
how does anybody do that? And how? And then people
like hated on him for so long they still do, Yeah,
they do. It took him to come to the Lakers
for me to fully open up, which I still can't stand. Y'all, dog,

(18:03):
I cannot. We're spoiled, We're spoiled, shitty people. I'm sorry,
that's what Laker fans are. We're spoiled, shitty, shitty people.
But it's not like I didn't. I didn't. I didn't
dislike him. I was just more like I was like,
this man is the best player in the league. But

(18:23):
there just wasn't I something didn't resonate with me aside
from objectively being able to be like, this guy's just
phenomenal basketball players, like no way to doubt that. I
was never in doubt about that. It was just, you know,
it's just your own bullshit as a fan where you're like, no,
like the greats are like, you know, I'm a nineties kid.
So for a long for a long time, I held

(18:45):
on to Jordan's uh. And it took me a while
where I was like, man, fun Kobe, and as even
as a Laker fan, I was just more loyal to
Jordan's even though I didn't like Kobe when he first
started because he didn't pass the ball and I was like,
you're sucking our whole team up. Get to learn something, uh,
And then he he ended up doing his thing. But
I don't know, I think it's just a weird thing too,
or sometimes you're so blinded by this like one dimensional

(19:07):
ship that like, I can't you know, and I felt
bad that. I was, like it took that for me
to say, like I really really like, I really funk
with Lebron James just being ambivalent. That's one thing about
him that I really I figured out that's he wants
that he needs that he needs to be liked by everybody.
And he came to the fan base that hated him
the most, which pissed me off royally because I was

(19:28):
happy to have him in l A. But I'm just like, Bro,
you could have carved out Imagine the legacy that you
could have had if you won a championship with the Clippers.
Like you're still in your city, You're still doing what
you want to do. What are you chasing? What do you?
Why are you Why did you have to come to
the Lakes? Like what what legacy are you chasing? Coming
to the Lakers? And like, oh, it's the name, Mr

(19:49):
oh Man, forget all that, Like and this is this
is dumb, but like you know, listen, Jack wants to
move on. He's looking at me like, wrap it up,
wrap it up, Chappelle show not But seriously, I was like, imagine,
imagine Lebron coming to the Los Angeles Clippers and winning
us A championship. And I'm not I'm saying that biasedly
as a Clipper fan, but also as just NBA fan,

(20:10):
it will be extremely impressive. He will that like he
like would would have won two champion two like lowly
franchises a championship, winning Cleveland one and winning the Clippers one.
And he had to come to the Lakers like, are
you trying to one up Kobe? Are you trying to
be be called magic? Two points? You're You're always going
to be in a shadow doing that. You're always going

(20:32):
to be in a shadow. And I think that's why Initially,
like for Laker fans, it's like, what do you like this?
This teams for people who are like gonna be down
for a few years, you know it, don't put me
away about watching him this this season. And then they
you know, in the Quarantine, we're playing a bunch of
like classic games, and I was watching like his second

(20:55):
title with the Heat, He's like so much better now
than he was at what should have been his physical prime.
Just like all the ship he adds to his game
is is truly truly incredible, Like he's just literally a genius. Yeah, alright,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

(21:23):
And we're back. Bizarre. What is a myth? What do
you think people think is true that you know is
false or vice verse? Okay, this is my big WTF.
Why do people keep thinking that racism is supposed to
make sense? Right? Do you know what I mean? Like
when you tell somebody that something racists happen to you
and they're like, wait, that doesn't make sense, and you're like,

(21:45):
why is that supposed to make sense? Yeah? Thinking people
are unequal, you're superior than then because of their race
is already a flawed premise. So what right do you
understand that? If it makes sense to you, that makes
you racist? Right? It really is? Wait, so just because

(22:06):
you are Muslim they thought you were a terrorist? That
doesn't make sense. Yeah, that makes sense to me, right exactly.
And then you're like wait what, oh right? Yeah, oh
so they thought you're terrorists because you're a Muslim? Right? Yeah?
TV show that watched the TV show nine eleven. I
watched that. But then why did you go there? It's like, what, Yeah,

(22:28):
it's true, it really is. Like I think we don't
treat racism like we do like eating handfuls of your
own ship. So if you start a conversation off about
seeing somebody eating handfuls of their own ship, it's never
going to be like, well that doesn't make sense. You'd
be like, oh, man, people are still eating handfuls of
their own ship. Huh you think they'll fucking wake up
because it's not good. You know, it's not healthy. But okay,

(22:53):
I guess people, But yeah, it is like this thing
where I think, because racism has been the foundation and
you know, rationalization and for so much uh injustice, that
to like then say that's bad, It's like I think
that's what a lot of white people were experiencing too,
Just like, well, then, yeah, I guess these statues of
slavers should come down, right. I guess we're bad. We

(23:17):
keep telling you guys to forget about slavery, but then
we like literally do have slavery statues everywhere. That serves
as a reminder. And I think it's also wild too.
It's like there are people that are alive right now
who have interacted with people that were in bondage, you
know what I mean, Like grandparents whose great grandparents were
in bondage. Like it's not that far removed like there,

(23:40):
And I think that's what's very interesting, is suddenly like
history caught up with the present for many people at
the same time, on many levels. But yeah, it's true,
Like to your point, it's it's not supposed that that's
the point. It's racism is already a flawed ideology and
it's it's putred so there's no I don't need it
to make sense. It's interesting though, seeing Oh, a lot

(24:02):
of white folks who I guess could conveniently ignore racism
for so long, be stuck in the house and like,
oh my god, Ted, all that's on TV is racism.
Every channel is racism. I guess it was real. Does
it make sense? That's what And I think that's the
other part that's really troubling for a lot of black

(24:23):
people in any oppressed group right now who's seeing this,
like people connecting the dots, because now it's like having
to relive it over to be like yeah, because that's
what's been fuck all right, So here's what here's the deal.
Since now you're listening again, like it's just it's it's
very it's it's a lot, but I don't know that's

(24:45):
what I'm saying, Like, is this is this the room?
Is this a point? Is this a turning point societally
for the beginnings of something, Not that this exact moment
everything will change on a dime, but we can point
to this year is being something the beginning of something new.
I think so because when the Civil Rights Act was passed,
it was literally on the heels of so many American

(25:07):
cities being on fire and so many protests. And now
we're in an age where these are the biggest protests
that we've had since the protests of the death of
Martin Luther King. And I think you are seeing people
open up well, and you're seeing a lot of marginalized
people feel comfortable speaking about things because it's like, oh,
you don't you want to defund the police? Okay, Also
look at the police that lives inside of you. That

(25:28):
is police me every single day at my damn job
and everywhere I go. And so it's like, now we're
forcing people to have their own reckoning with their own issues,
like you know what I mean, Like the Karen's that's
what we call them. But those are police. Those are
people who are agents of chaos and and of black
pain and oppression and of oppression of all different races
that aren't their own or or you know, marginalized people.

(25:50):
So it's like we're not just talking about defunding the
police that are state sanctioned. We're talking about you know,
you as a police, like you have to get rid
of the police inside of you, or this greater idea
of like whiteness, you know, And I think a lot
of people take it on to be something that if
you are not white, you don't you don't experience whiteness
or participate in it. But it's it's prevalent at every level.

(26:12):
Does you there's internalized white supremacy for black people, there's
internalized white supremacy, for Asian people, there's just straight up
white supremacy. And I think that's the thing is like
it's it's a moment for everybody to basically, you know, uh,
purge the whiteness that exists even in your own thinking.

(26:33):
How you would I really, I really challenge people to
think of, like, the next time you see someone on
the street and you think you are in danger or
you have you become suspicious, take a second to immediately
stop yourself and examine what exactly you're looking at now
If clearly if someone's like running at you with a knife,
that's one thing. But if you just see a group

(26:54):
of kids on the corner or someone out of like
whatever it is, take a second to just be like, whoa,
what was that? What was that? Because it's that's the
feeling that people act on without actually thinking through Why
am I thinking like this? Why? What is what? What
is coming up inside him? I will say that there's
this inherent guilt that a lot of quote unquote good
white people have that also gets in the way of

(27:14):
their education and they're learning, which is that like, well,
I'm not a racist, so you know, these aren't things
that I necessarily need to work on. But what we're
trying to say is is that we all have internalized racism,
and there's a tiny evil white man who lives inside
of all of us simply because of how we were
indoctrinated into this country. Our whole education system is built

(27:35):
on lies that slavers and racist told us. Our money
has the face of rapists and slavers on it, you
know what I mean, It's like, it's it's in all
of us. I remember grading papers for my cousin in
Brooklyn once and all of the names were like look
cromacyon and stuff that I couldn't pronounce. And I was like,
what all these ghetto ass names? And my cousin looked

(27:56):
at me and he said, everything's made up? So what
makes these names less important or less valuable than Sarah
and Thomas? And I was like, whoa who taught me that?
And then I was like, oh, the little white man
inside of me taught me that. So it's like we
all have to deprogram what we've learned or even think
of where our own last names come from. Well I

(28:17):
come from, you know what I mean? Like that's people
didn't even last We have last names who are owned,
you know what I mean? Like half of these names
are there because that's just the factory you worked at.
I think this is all part of this moment, you know.
And I think if they're going to take the time,
like you're saying, Lacey, to sort of look within themselves,
that's really the work that is going to have to

(28:37):
happen first, because if you just go, if you just
stop it like yeah, man, the police are while now,
and just end it there, it will continue. We need
more people out there who say no that is bad,
like and they're over policing. And I know why they're
over policing these communities because we've actually left them behind
and a lack of material access has led to these conditions.

(28:58):
So if we don't do that, we should be talking
about crime. We need to be talking about how we're
leaving people behind. Yeah, I don't understand that person. That
person who sees this stuff and just goes wow, that's why,
and it just goes about their day. Like I think,
I think the thing is right to really acknowledge how
bad racism is. On a certain level, people will feel guilty,

(29:19):
you know what I mean, because that's just part of
connecting the dots. But I think the bottom line is
part of that process. It's the point is to not
feel guilty. The guilt is merely you actually just becoming
aware of, you know, your relation to whiteness, to how
that has benefited you and how that's actually been detrimental
to a lot of people. The real work is then

(29:41):
just saying Okay, the guilt is natural because you're actually
realizing how bad it is. Now that the real part
is then to actually say well, no, I need to
I'm acting differently. That's not it's it's not We're not
asking for people to feel bad. We're not asking people
to cry on the timeline on behalf of black people.
We're asking people to pull up on behalf of black
people every day, like no matter, no more videos of

(30:04):
y'all being I take a white person have looked away
at so many negroes, like we don't want that. We
need you to actually take accountability in your real life,
not like get on a video in black and white
and stare at a camera and read off of a
cute card. And I just want to say one thing,

(30:24):
um specifically, just just to get people's minds working on
what we mean by systemic racism and racism and oppression
is that the thinking is the beginning. But the system
that is in place has work, is working how it
always was supposed to, which was suppressed and to enslave
people of color, and it's still working through our prison pipelines.

(30:45):
And just like something you may not even know, cities
that are being over policed, where they're jailing black and
brown people, a lot of those black and brown people
are going to prisons, who then contribute to the Republicans
agenda because they get to count those bodies those people
in prison as people in their population, so it's gerrymandering.

(31:07):
So then they get more influenced because the more people
they lock up who are brown and black, the more
influence they have in the country. That's crazy. So and
that's just one thing. That's the subjugation of black people
and brown people and indigenous people. That will always be
the resource that people use to extract wealth from you

(31:30):
know what I mean. In that same way, that's just
moving black bodies around so you have a bigger piece
of the pie in terms of influence. It's everything is
about just these are not This is just other ways,
like what's in the same we were talking yesterday about
just criminalizing being poor because now you've created another industry
that just makes money off of cleaning up the failings
of capitalism. And it's like here we go, and capitalism

(31:53):
has never worked without free labor. And I think that
we all have learned that when we're sitting in our
freaking houses and can't go to work, you know, the
free labor or the labor where we pay people the
bare minimum to survive is the only way that this
capitalist system has ever functioned. And it doesn't function. Do
you think like we have that opportunity that I mean,

(32:13):
like you're saying, we're not ready to have that conversation,
but it seems like a lot of people are willing
to at least acknowledge the pathology of white supremacy in
this country and the idea that black bodies are a
threat and disposable as part of this conversation, because that's
how police are viewing, uh, these any marginalized community, especially

(32:34):
black and brown people in this country. But you know,
it's still this thing where it's like, if we're talking
about the police, we're not actually talking about the greater issue,
because really it's it's this idea of how blackness is
viewed in this country, uh, and what the responsibility is
of white America in relation to that that. Like, you know,
I feel like everybody is trying to be like, yes,

(32:55):
we're almost there, were almost there, but let's really have this,
let's really take this conversation to the next step. Yeah. Um,
I think that is the biggest issue, right, The biggest
issue is not because you know, first of all, we
do need to reexamine this this notion that we're creating
the warrior cop versus the guardian of the community. So
our system is designed to create that, right we you

(33:17):
you even look at this this amazing book that I
think everyone should read, um called Policing in the twenties
first Century by Dr Cedric Alexander, who's a former police chief,
and he serves on Obama's Commission on Policing, And what
he talks about is the way in which we've changed
in which how we are police. But even if you
look at the uniform form now versus the uniform thirty
or forty years ago, it's gone from a you know,

(33:39):
an actual police uniform to a military tactical uniform. And
that even in terms of the way we advertise for
people who want to join the police force, we're not showing,
you know, the friendly officer getting a kitten out of
the tree. We're showing, like, you know, a militarized you know,
commercial of like do you want to hunt down the
back guy? Do you want to be this this warrior

(34:00):
us chasing and shooting people and and throwing grenades at people.
And so we're enticing that kind of sentiment. So when
you couple that with implicit bias and racism that is
in this country, the combination of the two of them,
as we have seen, is deadly. And the notion that
people have that racism is of some something of the
bygone past and that people don't think about that. You

(34:21):
should probably pay attention to the news and watch the
sentiment of people. But also we have to be realistic
about the timeline, right, So you're thinking about, you know,
nineteen nineteen sixty five were lynchings were still commonplace, and
there are pieces of that that we don't discuss about
how often people took children to lynchings for for virtually
for entertainment to watch people being lynched. So if someone was,

(34:44):
you know, ten years old in nineteen sixty five, they're
now sixty four, which means they could be a CEO,
a officer, a congressman, a senator, the local storekeep. So
to think that this this, this, this sentiment of black
lives have no value has disappeared when people who were
eyewitnessed and participants and some of the worst atrocities of

(35:08):
this nation, like lynching, are still at a young enough
age to have the voice and have the control and
power on what's happening to us, is insane. And it's like,
what do you think they taught their kids? What conversations
do you think they heard at their dinner table on
Friday night? And so we have to start working appealing

(35:28):
about peeling back the psychological effects of that. And a
lot of people don't like it when I say this,
but at this point, I'm over the adults. We're all
rotten and no good and we've all been tainted. I
think we need to start focusing our energy on educating
the next generation. We need to start having these in
depth conversations, workshops and and change making instances in schools.

(35:50):
And I'm talking about from middle school to high school
to even the collegiate level, to say, okay, we all
need to process the trauma of white supremacy on both
sides and had people start to grapple with some feelings
that they have inside of them and they don't don't
even exist because of what their parents have taught them
or because of what their experiences have been. Let's take

(36:11):
a quick break and then we'll get right back to
some interesting news and we're back. There's a new Gallop
poll out saying that Americans aren't feeling too good about
the state of things here in this country. Now, I've

(36:33):
never been wont to wave a flag or own clothing
with USA like emblazoned on it. I think we'll do
the Old Navy tank top smiles. No, No, I saw
with Old Navy when the performance fleece boom died out.
Old Navy Performance Fleet, Old Navy, remember that ship. Yeah,
I was working with Performance least Um and Old Navy

(36:55):
was tight because you could go in there with twenty
bucks and you come out with a whole new outfit. Yeah,
you know, and they'd be like, oh my god, what
happened to you. I'm like, don't worry, baby, it's the
whole performance performance fleas outfit. Um. I digress. But you know,
I think when I think most people, right, I think
thinking American people who have a sober eyed take on

(37:16):
what this country is aren't probably view this country as
a failed experiment with pockets of decency and fantastic PR
just fantasy. The PR is actually the best thing about
this company this country because we're doing all kinds of
ship and people think we're number one. And then the
u N is like, um, we should act. Maybe need
to send like pole observers towards the elections. Uh, we

(37:39):
need to talk about human rights violations because I think
the pr scheme is starting to wear thin a bit.
But now there's this Gallup poll that has been going
on for twenty years, and for the first time, the like,
the self view of how Americans feel about the country
has hit its lowest since they began this pole for
only twenty um so right now it's of the majority,

(38:00):
don't get me wrong, six say they're extremely or very proud.
But that is still the lowest figure ever, the highest
right after nine eleven, when it was and only eight
percent of the country realized what America was doing abroad
to bring that kind of terror to the country. Uh.
And then it's just the Dixie chicks. Uh and then

(38:22):
so forty uh So when they break it down, only
of respondents in the entire thing, though, said they're satisfied
with the direction of the country, which is very interesting,
and even like among conservatives, sixty cent of Republicans now
describe themselves as extremely proud. That's a nine point dip

(38:45):
from last year. That's her Republicans now. I don't know
if they are responding to the you know, it could
also be like, I hate what this country is doing.
Look at what George Soros is getting anti foot to
do with these fake deaths of George Floor. You know,
like if they're on that kind of thing and that's
what they're responding to, but or if they're like, uh,
this is this is bad. I think it all depends

(39:06):
on how you're engaged. These are interesting because I feel
like what is reflected here is like when people are
saying whether they're proud to be an American or not,
I feel like more often than not, people are responding
to like an image of the idea they have of America,
and like what you have been told your whole life
it stands for and maybe not always what it actually

(39:28):
is and what it actually is doing. So I don't know. Yeah,
maybe people are just kind of not only just seeing
what's happening right in front of them, but perhaps realizing
they have been sold at a lie. I hope so.
And even if you're waking up to it, don't feel bad.
Just realize that now you have work to do. Yeah,

(39:49):
just sound roll you sleeves up. And I've seen this
tweet said a thousand times over the weekend from a
lot of black Twitter users of saying like, oh wow,
you're really getting tired of thinking about race in this country.
M m m m m m m m m m
m m m. Okay, you're getting tired. Okay, fantastic, And

(40:09):
I'll leave it there because just this is this is
the work we have to do, and I think you
should be excited that you could possibly be in a
time in American history where we could do something significant,
but you don't second those distractions come back. That's what
I get worried about. Why. Also because I'm sort of
surprised that this poll didn't find more people who are

(40:33):
upset about America, because like that's that's the kind of
question where you could come to I'm upset about America
or not feeling good about its image, like a lot
of ways. Like you could also come to it from
the way of like there are too many people against Trump,
Like like that could be your reason. Like I remember
when I stopped watching the NFL or football in general,
it was because I think, like the brain injuries are

(40:55):
scary and they have like covered up evidence of it
giving people long term concussions and problems, and like I
have those reasons, and then I would tell people that
without getting to the reason why, and occasionally they'd be like, yeah,
too many people kneeling you're right, and I was like no, no, no,
I'm not on your team. No no, no, different, different thing,
like we're we're separate. And so with this pride in
America thing, I could see a lot of people being like,

(41:16):
you know, it was a great country. But then liberals
started blah blah blah, like there could be a lot
of reasons for people. It's definitely the lowest it's been
for Democrats too, because when they break it down by party,
Democrats are always a little are obviously going to be
more critical because some people I don't know who on
the right could be critical of America for the right
reasons aside from what you're saying. It's like, I don't

(41:39):
know if people just respected the commander in chief um
and let the president lead, the country would be in
a lot better place. Okay, yeah, yeah people. I'm sure
that people are responding to a lot of different ideas
here that are just expressed on the same umbrella. Yeah,
but everyone, But the point is everyone is disappointed. Yeah, hopefully.

(42:01):
I tried to go to quiz Nos and I couldn't
eat it. Sitting inside the restaurant. It's like, yeah, we're
talking about idiots, my systemic racism, systemic what. Oh, I
don't know. I don't want to talk about that. I'd
actually I'd like to pivot back to Quiznos. Okay, do
you remember the prime rib peppercorn sub Do they still

(42:24):
have that? I'm sorry, now we were talking about Okay, Okay,
that's too much Quiznos knowledge. Hop off in your forward ranger. Okay,
let's move on to something ridiculous, because Lacy, when you
said this sentence out loud, I said, what then are
you talking about? So just I'm just you take it away, Lace,
I don't know. The whole description of what's happening was confusing, confounding. Guys, Hollywood,

(42:50):
you know what do we need right now? We need entertainment.
And when you think entertainment, I know you think biography
by picks, you know, bio biopics, biopics either way bother way. Yeah,
biopic feels like a medical procedure. People say that all
the time, and like, I'm always like, it always bugs me.

(43:12):
Not that, like I want to say something, I'm like,
I prefer biopic, like like your bios. But I guess
it's biography biopics anyway. We we digress. So, guys, we've
got a Princess Die movie, a Princess Die biopic coming out, guys,
and it's starring just the person that you think of

(43:35):
when you think of who should play Princess Die. Just
take a moment, probably come into your head, like an
English actress, a young English like actress, maybe someone unknown
who maybe looks exactly like Diana I feel like because
she is English. Yes, those are good guesses. Al Right,
everyone on three, let's say it together. One to three.
Christian Stewart, What Kristin Stewart is gonna playing Princess Diana?

(44:01):
Whoa Kristen from Twilight Vampire, except now she'll be saying
Prince to say vompire. I don't know what you are.
What I mean that the royals really did hate her?
I mean this is rude. This is very rude to rude. Yeah,

(44:26):
the okay, so I get it, like it's about they say.
It covers a critical weekend in the early nineties when
Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn't working. Okay,
So that that sounds interesting. I mean, more importantly, who
plays Prince Charles? Not more importantly, but I'm curious what
kind of if they found someone good for that? Did
you imagine that's how they do it? It's like, yeah,

(44:49):
and let's get uh, what's his name? Tom? What's what's
that DoD's name with the lips with Tom Hardy, Tom
Hardy with Tom Hardy's with the lips. Kenneth Bruna without
the lips. Yeah, that man has very very Affleck will
be playing Prince Charles. It's like, do we we just
don't care about casting at this point. I don't Oh

(45:11):
my god, let me get in here to play the queen.
I don't know, just like it doesn't matter at this point.
I should be able to get in on this. Diana,
you can listen here. You're listening here, okay, oppression of yeah,

(45:32):
me in it? Oh and you with the queens but
none of that, and like you're gonna start married or
you're gonna take a bad limit ride, Diana, you like
John Boyega trying to sound like he's like from New
Jersey and New Jersey Italian. I really like this movie.

(45:56):
What I mean, I don't know much about Christen Stewart's
acting outside of that. I mean, is she is there
a reason? Does this make sense? Lacy? You know, you're
you're tapped into these this this world. You know, in Hollywood,
there happens to be a thing that happens with the
girls where you know, once you've built up a certain
amount of credits or gotten a certain amount of notoriety,
the studios will start to push you on the public um,

(46:19):
you know, because they feel like you're a recognizable name
is going to generate revenue. Now, this works in certain
instances like for instance, um, Elizabeth Moss, I will watch
anything that they put her ass on. They put her
face on a can, I'm gonna stare at that can
until until I can't know more. I'm like, oh, this
isn't a television I've never realized, Um, because she's good,

(46:40):
do you know what I mean? And I think that
that was their hope with Kristin Stewart. Obviously they tried
it with the Charlie's Angel franchise. A lot of times
in Hollywood, when you see a deal come out like
on deadline, it's been in negotiation for at least six
months to maybe even a year if it's a project
that they're also personally because when it happens, every time
someone has a deadline thing they go finally I can

(47:00):
talk about this and they're like, yeah, I was working
on that for seventeen years and you're like, oh, ship.
So it might have been one of those things where
in the height of the Kristen Stewart, you know, like, oh,
she has all these new projects coming out. She's going
to be one of the Charlie's Angels. She's in these
action films or whatever. They were like, oh, also she'll
play Lady Die. And then all those projects started to
come out and flop, and now she's still attached. I

(47:23):
also like the idea that they the studio thought this
was what the world needed right now. They're like, Okay,
you know what, we should cast Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana.
I think people need to hear that right now. They
really need to hear that. I'm okay with it as
long as I can play Queen Elizabeth. I just think
if we're gonna have radical casts, I feel the same
way Queen the Queen drink out of like a chalice

(47:48):
of bedazzled chalice and ship. I will have my wig
with the curry right here. I will rock it. Oh okay,
but I feel like that would go well with like
Kristen stewl it's you know, sort of like typecast of
like the I don't understand, right, I don'tunderstand. I'm trying
to think of who would actually be And every time

(48:09):
there's like a casting on the show, I always engage
in this exercise where I don't have the imagination to
even say, well who would because I'm like, I'd have
to really think about it. But I'm trying to actually
think of someone when I look at this picture of Diana,
like if there is somebody who's true, like just they
do have kind of simple and see but that's what

(48:30):
Christian Stewart and Diana do. Have similar facial structures, like
I can't really hate on that, the nose is a
little bit different. Is Reese the right age though, no,
she's not the right But I would rather I would
rather see the Reese Witherspoon type cast up against the
queen then the Christens Store type cast up against the queen,

(48:51):
you know what I mean? The like the timid like, oh,
but vampires, I love both of them, and a werewolf
like I kind of want to see the Reese Witherspoon
like is happening, right? It certainly sounds more fun than
like Prince Charles, I can do this anymore? Do you
do you have any of you read, like her biography
or anything, because this must this weekend must have been

(49:13):
fucking wild as fun. If the entire movie is just
about this weekend in the early nineties and knowing like
she wasn't working with Doughty till like the late nineties,
so what what like what this there's this must be
juicy as fun. It's like my week with Maryland or something.
And so I want to see it. I mean, I'm gonna.

(49:33):
I think I'll see it regardless because people love Princess die.
I don't know who the right choice is, but maybe
Kristin will surprise that. Yeah. Look, I'm not gonna hate
out the gate, but I am confounded. The thing is, though,
I guess even when you read it right, this is
how it's just like it covers this critical week right
when Diana decided her marriage it wasn't working, and that
she needed to veer from a path that put her
in line to one day be queen. The drama takes

(49:55):
place over three days in one of her final Christmas
holidays in the House of Windsor in they're sendering a
mistate in Norfolk, England, so that this is about a
three days. This is the three days where she said,
not funk this. I don't even want to be the
fucking queen. Are you out your fucking mind? Hell? What
the funk am I doing? That's Royal weekended? Bernie's right?

(50:18):
I mean, how rad is she though to be? Like?
You know, I've been given all these promises. Everyone says
the princess's life is supposed to be like this, And
you know what, I feel like ship all of the time,
and I hate this bye, yeah, right, Like duty is
not I think it's because that's like you're not putting
your country over yourself. That's you're not putting capitalism before you.

(50:40):
Princess Dyke can do it, we can all do it.
On an everybody embraced your prince in her princess dive,
and she threw the crown in the trash and finally Steve.
What's a myth? What's something that people think is true?
You know, to be false or vis verse. Everybody's talking
about everybody. I think this is a big myth everybody's

(51:01):
talking about. I can't wait for quarantine be over. I
cannot wait for this ship. And I just want to
dispect for myself. This is the best time I've ever
had in my whole goddamn life. I'm loving life. I
never wanted to return. Keep those checks coming, government, Uh,
I mean, I'm going on energy quick. I'm going on walks,

(51:24):
you know what I mean. I'm smelling flowers out there.
I'm cooking for my girl every day. I feel downright European.
I'm telling you, man, it was good. Wait which part
was European? The walks, the flowers, the cookie. I'm walking
to the market down the street every day, you know
what I mean. There's a bad get in my buying

(51:45):
song from Beauty and the Beast and ship eating everybody.
I mean, yeah, a lot of people have, like you know,
we were talking about this yesterday about what you know,
clearly we've slammed the brakes on something and people are
starting to find good in certain things slowing down. And
I'm really and I get your point, man, because there's
certain things like we absolutely cannot continue to do like

(52:06):
I think we have to even think about how efficient
we are with our work weeks and things like that.
You know, somehow I'm doing more work not being in
an office or more efficient not being in an office,
and like I feel like the quality of our work
hasn't diminished and things like that, And I feel like
those are bigger questions, like do people need offices? Do
we need to be like because creating an office creates

(52:27):
all this commuting and ship like that, like are we
what things can we take away from this positively? But yeah,
I'm the same way where I'm like, I'm also dreading,
like people being like, hey, we're gonna go out here here,
like you're gonna come blah blah blah. When it's now,
I'm like, you know what, Like I can do what
I need to do. Uh. But I think I'm also
just an introvert in that way where I don't know,
I don't power up from being around people. I power

(52:48):
up from being by myself. Well it's been nice. Yeah,
I miss I I miss hugging my friends. But you know,
I saw z and Honor the other day and what
we went outside to pick something for the house and
we just hung out on their porch. It's like people
are just hanging out in the park or on the
porch and it's like it's good to see you. Yeah,
I wish, I wish I could hug him. But at

(53:10):
the same time, it's like, this is nice, man. It's
just nice being around people that you love. And it's like,
what the funk have we been doing? Especially I know Lacy,
you could probably relate to this because in in the
you know, doing live comedy stuff, you're out every night,
You're going from activity to activity. Uh, you don't want
to let anyone down. And I mean basically you're an entrepreneur,

(53:30):
so you don't want you want to be at everything. Yeah,
so basically you don't want to miss anything because this
might be the thing that leads to work. But without this,
there's no guilt. I don't have any guilt about not
writing jokes. I don't have any guilt about any of
this stuff. Um, And you're right, it's causing you. I

(53:53):
think we were all telling our stulfs a story before,
and this disruption said, oh maybe this or is it real?
Or maybe I don't have to the thing that I
told myself isn't real and I could rewrite this thing.
Just like all black men, all black lives are black
lives matter stuff. Is that, um, that we don't have
to accept that anymore. So the way we've been living,

(54:15):
the things we've been valuing, we can rewrite this world
in our life and make it the way we wanted
to make it, and and and only do things that
truly bring us joy. So we'll see how it goes. Yeah,
I've been sitting in garages with people where they're like
open the garage up and the chairs will be eight
feet apart. And what I've noticed is is like, yeah,

(54:36):
I used to hang out with people before, but like
I'm constant on my phone on slide of emails right now,
I've my thumbs are gonna fall the funk off. I'm
hopefully going to be cashing out in one of those
Apple commercials like have your loved one Lost? Constant texting
um from swipe from swipe, texting from swipe, texting like
I'm gonna get that lawsuit together for us, guys. It's

(54:58):
gonna be we'll all have a black turtleneck when I'm
done with Apple. But yeah, it's like, now I feel
guilty if I'm on my phone and I'm like, I
gotta focus on this human who's in front of me
because I don't get human time that much. Um, And
then I will say I did cheat and hug one
of my closest friends, Priscilla, because we went to a

(55:19):
protest together and we had been isolated, each of us
in our own home, so we're like, we can hug.
We've been alone for months. Um. And when I tell you,
it hit like head I had to hug hit like that,
Like I had a little like am I horned out
what's happening out right? Literally? It was like, so I

(55:48):
absolutely agree with you on that, Steve, and and and
it's interesting to see the restructuring. I think that with
the Black Lives Matter thing is that we finally have
the attention span of white folks in a way that
we've never had before. Uh and unfortunate, only there's so
much trauma circulating that's like you can't ignore it. And
here we are. And now I feel like I'm doing
a clean up of every industry that I work in,
the theater that I work at, specifically, I'm working very

(56:10):
diligent with them to clean up their systemic racial issues.
I'm working with places that I work at professionally. Like
when I tell you, like it was like I had
to put on the black panther head. Everybody like we
had just tighten everybody. We got time now before I
felt it felt like things that weren't worth like there

(56:30):
was an acceptance, there was a certain nihilism when it
came to accepting white supremacy. We wasn't even accepting it
was survival or just basically or but accepting like that
it existed and it was defining every single space we
were operating into. That It's not that it's like and
I welcome white supremacy in my life, but it's that's
is how it is. And now we're at a point
where like, no, this is not like this, not anymore.

(56:51):
Not now, it's like that's that's a big energetic difference
I feel from a lot of people. Yeah, I don't
believe in destiny. I think if when you even destiny
quote unquote, then you have to believe that some really
fucked up things are going on, and then you know,
whatever the whatever God cares about my comedy career, but
he doesn't care about the continent of Africa or something

(57:11):
like that. So I don't believe in it like that.
But also this feels like such a crazy unique time
in history that all these things had to come together
for these changes to happen. And so now I'm so
excited to grab ahold of it by the tail and
say like, funck, I'm just gonna dedicate my life. I
don't really I you know, I've said no to a
couple of comedy shows recently, Zoom shows, because I was like,

(57:34):
I don't want to do my fucking dumb act. Before
I got to rewrite my act. We've got to figure
out what I don't want to do. Use your body
and voice for now. Yeah, I don't want to distract
people with comedy. That's not what I'm not trying to
distract anymore. I want to figure out a way to
to make all of this, to implement all of this together.
So that's exciting. I I don't care about just living

(57:55):
for myself. I want to change this world. Sorry, And
it's amazing. I feel like a lot of comedians have really.
I mean, granted, a lot of my Twitter feed is comedians,
but also activists and many other people, but there has
I've been really. It's it's interesting to see because I
think to be a good comedian you have to be
intelligent and be observing things enough that you can synthesize
them in a humorous way, and it's interesting to see

(58:17):
so many people begin to like use those skills to
also see everything else that's happening in the world and
like activate them very like in a meaningful way as well.
It seems like I feel like comedy is gonna be
a lot different after this, because there's a lot of
comedians too are just like, you know, if you're not
like if your head is not in the game and
you're tweeting some dumb ship right now, like what the
funk are you doing? Like, you know, you're you're smart

(58:37):
enough to be a comedian, so you're gonna be if.
I mean, if you're gonna be smart enough, you're a
good comedian, you should be smart enough to know what
time it is too right, And Dave Chappelle proved that
with us, like you know, his comedy Uh, a little
short special coming out that was barely any jokes and
a lot of it was just him getting off of
his chest. And so it's cool to see that kind
of change. I've only really been doing zoom shows and

(58:59):
com these shows with people black people, especially people of color,
where I feel like we can have a good time
and not have to do too much educating, but also share.
Like yesterday I did a couple of therapy with Naomi Everything,
who I love so much, um and we just talked
about the fun that we had had a protest in
the weird moments at protests, and like it was interesting
to do that, you know what I mean, and have

(59:20):
a good time but also still feel like you're in
the zeitgeist of what's going on. To your point, Steve
about man about destiny, I think of destiny as a
scam that I like to implement on people. This is
your destiny, Like manifest Destiny was America's scam to everybody.
They were like, manifest destiny, y'all, we gotta rob these
native people because God has said, So what God, hold on,

(59:43):
hold on what gold on? What? Okay, it's on. Don't
know if y'all heard, but God just told me, y'all
gotta get the funk out because of some ship I
just heard of. So you know, we gotta we gotta
turn it back around and be like I think God said,
right equally the thing now, yeah, I mean even like
I think comedians at the end of the day are

(01:00:03):
great communicators, you know what I mean, Like that's the
art of good comedies, like you're communicating so many things
would just simply efficiently with humor and things like that
that I think now a lot of comedians fine see
that they also have a very unique skill set to
articulate a lot of the bad things that are going
on and to make that easier for people to understand. Uh,
because you know things are different. All right, that's gonna

(01:00:28):
do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and
review the show If you like the show. Uh means
the world to Miles. He he needs your validation, folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to him Monday. By Si
