Speaker 1 (00:00):
And that guy, what's that Steve Dead, super dead, super dead?
So anyway, great guy though, really good guy. I love
to have his hologram on the show. That would be
you know, we should look into having hologram, guess because weird.
It's getting harder and harder to book. Yes, but to
book a hologram is probably nothing super Maybe it's expensive.
It could be we're in talks with the two box
hologram to be the Only thing is he can't answer questions.

(00:21):
He could only you can wrap the lyrics and wrap
the lyc Well that's interesting. So as long as our
questions match lyrics of his songs, could be a great conversation.
And also it might just make him look insane, like, hey,
we're asking these real questions and all you can do
is rap Like that kind of helps our case totally,
that it's like you're crazy, Like are crazy? Dead people
are insane? Dead people are insane. He this guy can't
say anything new, no nuanced thought from a ghost. You're

(00:47):
listening to The Man Thinker's Podcast, a show that forges
a new roadmap for the modern man on how to
best live life. Get ready to transition to our side
with Red pills that we give you. Is that really
what you're gonna go with? What's wrong with that? Just fine?
Just leave it there, let's just go. I gotta get home.
So you know, they were very welcoming, a lot of

(01:10):
attractive young women, I must say, in this group. And
here's the best part. You get to go to Upstate
New York. What is this again? It's spelled an x
I v M. I don't really know how to pronounce it.
It's a weird Yeah, that might be it. And there's
this yeah, I know I picture of this guy playing
volleyball with long hair. He looks very smart and very healthy.

(01:30):
I think it's a really cool movement that I want
you to be a cult? What are you talking about?
It's it's a full it's been proven, I think, to
be a cult. Like that guy you're talking about, Keith right, Yeah,
he's in prison for life. He is. He was sex
trafficking people. It's a cult, man. Keep doing this, Keep
getting into things that you're like, Oh, it's gonna make
me better, it's gonna make my life, it's gonna help

(01:51):
us feel stronger, I feel healthier. But it's fake. It's
all fake. So he's having sex with people and doing
he's branding that branding with a branding iron. Well, I'll
get more involved and then I'll come to that. How
do you not see any of this as a red flag?
Because when people come together to help themselves and help
each other, it's already there's a there's a multiple documentaries
about it, like one's called The Vow. What's what HBO? Matt, Okay, well,

(02:13):
then of course you know it's bullshit HBO. That's liberal. Okay,
that's fair. Come on, man, have you watched some of
HBO stuff so good? It's prestige. I mean television Game
of Thrones, Oh my god, are you kidding me? The
quality of the bad I wish that show never ended.
I wish that's why they just brought another woman. They're
doing The Last of Us is coming up soon. Oh
my god, that's gonna be video game. But that's but.

(02:35):
But they're they're they're those guys, Oh my god, pushing grooming. Yep,
it's disgusting. Yeah, and if they if they made a
doc about Maxium, I don't trust. Well, we've we've got
a great show. I'm gonna make my own doc. Yeah, guys,
we have a wonderful show coming up. Yes, we've got
l a council woman if you rom and she's a progressive.
She is, and I do not agree with a lot

(02:57):
of what she said. And listen, guys, we didn't go
easy on her, Okay, we asked her the tough questions
and she she answered them. She was I will say
she was a very pleasant person. I think she's actually
but I would say she's very I kind of liked her.
I don't like her policies, but as a person is
a human being, top not top beautiful, beautiful, very smart,
very well again, well read the whole thing. She was

(03:19):
just really kind of a but what does that belong to?
Tics top tier talent in politics? We don't want top
tier talent. Absolutely no. Well, that is something that I've
been thinking because I kind of want to talk about
a look. A new report says that AOC is the
third most popular politician in America, right behind Obama and Trump.
Can you believe that? You know, it doesn't surprise me.
A lot of these progressives are trying to position themselves

(03:41):
as the new AOC. And you know, you like her
or hater, but she she is the center of attention.
Absolutely that's what happened exactly. She's exactly and that brings me,
damn to today's big question. Do all women wish they
were her own? Feces? Here? Aunted? When children be safer
if everyone stopped having sholl biden me the ghost price

(04:01):
washing your hands? Actually, bad house is so scary. Is
it unfair that AOC is attractive? Wow, that's a really
interesting question. But you know, look, it gives her an advantage,
but at the end of the day, she's still a politician,
so her policies need to speak for themselves, regardless of
her looks. Exactly. But don't you think her attractiveness makes

(04:22):
people want to look at her more and thereby listen
to her policies. No, that's a good that's a good point.
But I don't know. I don't know if that really
changes people's mind. It absolutely does. Look, I've seen you
around hot people like me. You know, for instance, you
clam up, you let them walk all over you. You
act completely pathetic. And that's what she's doing to America.
And yes, around me, you think I think you're hot.

(04:44):
I know that you think I'm hot. You clam up
the second I walk in the studio. You get nervous.
I think I get annoyed that you're here. I'm hoping
that you like a little schoolboy in the schoolyard, the
girl he has a crush on. Just not how I'm
acting at all. You're totally misinterpret your narcissist. Look, let's
not get bogged down in some antic zero. Okay, who
would you rather watch give a speech AOC or Ted Cruize?

(05:04):
Hands down? Yeah of course? And why is that? Well,
because you know she's beautiful, so I'd love to look
at her. That's my point exactly, Dan, Right, I mean
Ted Cruise also is like disgusting. He's a disgusting man.
Can we just say for the record, Ted Cruiz is
a disgust disgusting man, as a pig is a pig man.
I would vote for him in a second. She's the
complete opposite of Ted Cruiz. And it's so unfair that
she has that unblemished caramel skin with luscious dark brown hair.

(05:26):
She is gorgeous, she's got those big teeth. I mean,
I I really don't like her policies, Yeah, I really don't.
And and like you can separate the two, right, but
those teeth, yeah, I mean that's the kind of happy.
To be honest, that's a weird thing to admit. Are
you like you have a teeth fetish or what's going
on there? Maybe for her? I do, Okay, I love
it when people post hate videos of her, you know,
because then you get to watch videos of her, right
and and you get to hear people bashing her because

(05:49):
she likes her here. But which is helpful. It is
because she can kind of pull you in with her teeth,
with her beauty thing. You're really harping on this teeth.
It's just they're just gorgeous text book, you know. And
it sounds like that's how it goes for most Americas,
you know, they want to watch her Democrats, Republicans personally.
I checked her Twitter all day just to kind of,
you know, feel close to her, right. You just want

(06:10):
to know. I want you to checking in. I don't
I don't like her, right, I just don't know she's
up to what's going on, what's going on, what's going on?
And I would love it if I found out that
she was looking at my Twitter. I doubt that very much.
But I'm just saying, but I don't allowed to to
think about it. You can think about that show. But
she wouldn't if she was going to look at man thinker,
she would be looking at mine. But the thing is,
because I know that you think that I'm hot, and

(06:30):
I don't disagree that I recognized real, recognized real, and
recognize hot and I and I see that. But I
think you're lumping yourself in with someone like AOC who's
way out of your league. Dude, are you kidding me? So?
What are you kidding me? You think I couldn't score
an AOC? You think you could? She's taken. First of all,
she's married to an ugly guy. I gotta be yea
for her. I mean, I don't even know that much

(06:53):
about her, though I know I haven't looked in at
the details, and only if I did, it was just
because it was making me mad. Right, But she was
married and Martha's Vineyard to a man who was way
below her standards. She went to Boss University, did go
to Boston University. And she was a bartender before she
was bar tender. Telling me some hot bartender to tell
me what I got, This bartender with perfect teeth. He's
just like, yes, please pour me another. Sure, Oh, I'll

(07:15):
come to your bar I will make a fool of
myself at your bar, yes, but not my government. I'm
gonna get filthy, fucking drunk. You're gonna I'm gonna You're
gonna kick me out every night. I'm gonna piss my pants.
I'm gonna piss all over your bar, just so you'll
touch my shoulders and throw me out the door. Because
I hate you so much and I love the way
you look. It's not I love it. It's not fair.
I love the way you look. Men's warehouse AOC. AOC

(07:38):
is essentially just a men's warehouse. We're being honest because
I love the way she looks. I'm with you, but
you know. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, has had
a number of scandals that would be discussed to a
much greater extent where he nearly has attractive as AOC. Right,
He's many many scandals. They get blown over. The guy
left Texas in a freeze. I'm on a fucking idiot
he left. Just stop talking about because he's discussed. Who cares.

(08:00):
Of course he's gonna act like a pig, Yeah, of course,
he's just try He's a cowardly pig trying to save himself.
Get into the next mudpie pink of a man. I really,
I for almost forgot about that whole Texas thing because
he's so ugly, exactly, and that goes for a lot
of ugly politicians. You know. I don't want to hear
about Jim Jordan's sex scandal ever again, yes, exactly, but
I would love to hear about an ao c sex
scand oh my god, that would be so it would

(08:22):
be so fucking hot. There's gotta be one. I mean,
the tape of video Today's world. We should look for that.
Not because we want to see it, No, no, no,
that's not why we would do it. Because we have
to expose her whole body. Yes, wow, can you imagine
what I mean? The whole body, the whole body. There's
got to be something else there on cell phones because

(08:45):
she should be a movie star, she could be. She's
smoking hot. But we should find it too and watch
it and make sure the times that you know, when
she's are listed. We should do that to her. I mean,
we should probably hold onto it ourselves for a little bit,
just so we can enjoy it ourselves. Not not enjoy
I wouldn't even like it, I would hate hate it,

(09:05):
but you want to be able to watch it down
to confirm. We should keep AOC's non existent sex tape
to confirm, to confirm, always confirmed. We would be the first,
and then we are the ones to release the news
and take her down. She's gonna need a job. Absolutely,
We've got the power. Now, we've got the way. People
think Trump's power is sexy. Maybe she would think, but

(09:25):
that's not I'm not. No, no, no, absolutely not. I'm not.
But if I had a certain amount of power that
AOC was attracted to, I mean that would be the dream.
If I had power that Jim Jordan was attracted. No,
I don't put jacket on. Dude, get out of here. Bro.
I agree with everything you do, but you're disgusting, ugly,
ugly person. Disgust list. If someone gave me his sex tape,

(09:46):
just burn it. Watching that down to confirm. Not because
I want to watch her, I just want to confirm,
you know what I like doing when she's on. I
put it on mute just to confirm, no subtitles, no captions,
just I just want to kind of see her. Yeah,
I like that, And I also would choose to have
her on mute. Yes. Counterpoint it's got a really lovely voice,

(10:09):
and again I don't like it, but I'm just saying
it's important to hear what she that the awful things
she's saying, so you can disagree to watch her, to
hear her, to almost smell her, to know her, to
know her. Maybe what Congress should be focusing on is
there needs to be equal level of hotness across both parties.
I say we leave that up to judges. Okay, so

(10:29):
you bring the Supreme Court judges? Is that who would
be judging the hotness? Now? Well, who better to judge
sex appeal than nine of our most brilliant and respectable minds,
you know? And even Kavanaugh he would he have to
recuse himself from that, you know, with his whole sex
scandal or about that whole thing, because he's a fucking
ugly fuck. He's disgusting judging being sexual assaulted by him?
How horrifying that is. That's an easier to be sexual
assaulted by an attractive person. But I gotta stay right now.

(10:51):
I was sexual assaulted by AOC. I wouldn't complain, but
I mean, that's why I have hoped for that on
many occasions. Is a personal fantasy. But I like this
idea of having the Supreme Justices judge who's hot or
not and saying who can be in Congress and who
could be on camera? And you have an equal amount
of both. Now we're on the same page. It would
be fair. Right now, it's not fair. It's not fair

(11:12):
because AOC is really tipping the scales too much. And
I think what we're getting at here is that people
like looking at and listening to attractive people, and so
there should be places you can go to see attractive people,
you know, do stuff like the movies. Yes, that's a
great idea. Well there are kind of attractive people in movies. Yeah,
there are movies though, a lot of them, but they
all have that dumb, woke liberal agenda. That's the problem.

(11:35):
I mean, maybe I should make a movie. We really
don't have time to get into your bad movie ideas,
and let's just kind of standing time were talking about,
because here's the thing. It's a small Jewish man as
the lead. And he's funny, he's cool, he's whip smart.
AOC is his love interest. Me and AOC are on
the space shuttle and we are beating up the Russians,

(11:55):
we're trying to hijack the Space Shuttle, but we are
doing it to save America and also find love. Got it? Well, anyway, guys,
we have um, we have a great show for you today,
So stick around, thinking, thinking, to be done. Yes, I
actually want to show you an AOC clip that I
was just watching because she looks phenomenal. Guys, check check
out you know our sponsors. Listen to the east and

(12:16):
we're gonna watch some AOC vidds and we'll be back
at some point. Hey, click on the one where she's
wearing that red tread. We've gotten interesting. This one was interesting.
We've got an interesting guest today. Yeah, I was very

(12:39):
reluctant to have her on the show. It's Los Angeles
Council member Nythia Rahman, a progressive, very progressive. I thought
she was a socialist coming into it turns out she's not.
But she's of that ilk. Let's say she might have
been trying to hide it. She might have been a
secret socially Manchurian candidates of socialism. But I appreciate her
coming onto the show. I gotta say she's a courageous woman.

(13:01):
I mean that was clear she wasn't she takes guts
to come in here in person, look to really smart,
the smartest probably the smartest people and just spar just
spar and and you listen, thinkers. You know, we don't
want to just bathe you guys and people that agree
with us, okay, like that we wanted to exactly, we
wanted different when they're dead wrong, dead wrong. And you'll

(13:23):
see she is dead wrong, dead wrong about a lot,
a lot. But it was good to talk to her
and to just understand that progressive way of thinking, which
is so alien it really bizarre to me. It really so.
Even just from an anthropological perspective, I would recommend listening
to this just to see what people are like. Keep
your friends close, keep your enemies closer. And we got

(13:43):
very close check it out. So we are here with
Los Angeles Council Member Nythia Rahman. Welcome to man Thinkers.
Thank you so much for having me. I gotta say
right off the bat, the courage you know, to come
on our show. I appreciate that I acted. I respect
you know. There's a lot of things that you do
and say I don't agree with, I really dislike, but

(14:06):
to have you here and to reach across the aisle.
It takes them because none everybody has guts to kind
of go into the belly of the beast, so to speak.
A lot of people will come on, are a lot
of people. We have a really hard time actually getting
anyone to come on. A lot of people that just
never heard of us. That's kind of part of the problem.
But yeah, so you know, yeah, Well, one of your
biggest talking points is homelessness in Los Angeles. How do

(14:28):
most people become homeless? Are they just born that way
or inherit genes? Well, homelessness here in Los Angeles is
very directly connected to the cost of housing. Housing is
incredibly expensive here. The price of rent has gone up
an astronomical amount over the last decade. And if you
are struggling in any way, like let's say you lose

(14:50):
your job for a month and you have to look
for a new one and you can't make rent that month,
or if you get sick and a lot of people
are getting sick nowadays, whatever it may be, if you
have a moment where you don't have the ability to
make rent, there is so much incentive now for your
landlord to kick you out. Or what is it? What
is the average price of rent in l a five
D six hundred a month or much much more more real,

(15:11):
much more like my home. My parents gave it to me.
So that's our most homes, Like your parents gave you
the home. I thought, that's sort of like how passed down.
It's passed down from home, sort of like a trust. Right,
Well that's for most people, that's not the case. Los
Angeles is a city of immigrants, people who are new
to America, people who are coming here because they see
Los Angeles as a city of real opportunity. They're coming

(15:32):
to Hollywood, they're coming to make their careers here, and
they don't. They don't though they should just leave, right,
they could go home. They go home. But many of
them do have careers here. It's just that they're not
making huge amounts of money. And so, yeah, and you
want you want, like if you want a vibrant city,
you have to have a city which is attracting people
to it. And when you have that situation happen when

(15:53):
you have very low vacancy rates and very high rents
across the country, you see in cities that there's a
rise in homelessness. So are you saying then that most
of the unhoused here in Los Angeles. They didn't come
to l A already homeless. No, actually, most of the
people who are experiencing homelessness have been in Los Angeles
for more than five years. Most of them were in
Los Angeles when they became homeless. They did not come

(16:15):
to Los Angeles because they were homeless already in their
own cities and thought that l A would be a
better place. So I just thought that that was like
it was l A was like a beacon. It was
sort of like, if you're homeless, come here. That's what
I thought. That's what it seems like. That's what Yeah,
that's that's not what the stats are showing. That's not
what the stats are showing. Understood, you know, I think
the biggest intervention that we can make in terms of
people who are already homeless, like people who are already

(16:36):
living on the streets, we just need more housing. Dan,
That sounds like something, because that's a lot of real
estate opportunity right there. I mean, we're really That's one
of my questions is, you know, why are we leaving
this up to the government instead of having you know,
private corporations. I mean, these people like Elon Musk. It
would be if Elon Musk built homeless shelters like you

(16:57):
can get Harmony homeless shelters. Yes, it could be connected
on your phone. There could be QR codes everywhere. You
need a QR code or a homeless shelter, you acstlually
need it, and that could look cool. Ellen can get
more money and we can get people off the streets.
Why don't we just do that. Um, I'm not close
to that possibility. Yeah, Like if the problem if you're listening,
I think he does listen. So this could be huge.

(17:18):
It could be huge. Another way, though, is for the
private sector that's making a lot of profits already in
real estate, building marketry, housing, or doing all of the
other things that make Los Angeles so economically vibrant. We
can tax people and use those taxes to be able
to build this housing as well. So I think there's
different ways. I knew that's what the solution was coming well,
But listen, private players have a role in this as well.

(17:41):
It's not that it's only the government that has to
do it. Having a big, beautiful, air conditioned home is
not in the constitution. It's not there. It's not I've
read it. It's not in there. I'm not homeless. Why
should I even care about whether someone is inside a
home or not. Isn't that their responsibility. I feel a
lot of empathy for people who are in Los Angeles
who work really, really hard to pay their rent. They

(18:02):
are working potentially multiple jobs or taking care of family.
Rent is so high. And then I hear from people
how come some people get free rent, you know? And
I think that's a very real you know, it sticks
in your cross when you think about that. But I
go back to the to this other thing that I
was saying earlier, which is homelessness is a crisis that
affects us all, and ending homelessness is a good for

(18:23):
the city of Los Angeles, and for a lot of
people who are experiencing homelessness, they are actually taxing the
system in other ways. So some people who are experiencing
homelessness are chronically homeless. Chronically homeless means that you are
frequently in an emergency room, you are potentially in and
out of jail all the time that you've been on
the streets for more than a year, And when you're

(18:45):
out on the streets for that long, when you're in
and out of emergency rooms, you're actually using a lot
of the city and states dollars in other ways, either
paying for health services. So in those situations, it's actually
cheaper to take those individuals and to say, hey, you're
already a frequent user of city services, Let's pay for
a home for you and provide some wraparound services for you,

(19:06):
health services, mental health services, and once you're indoors, it's
actually way cheaper to keep you in that house than
it is for you to be on the street and
potentially using all of these other city and state services
that cost us a ton of money. That's kind of
an interesting What I'm hearing, though, is you don't like
Los Angeles. That's kind of what I'm getting from this.
So why don't you move to Vermont or you know,

(19:28):
Martha's Vine yours? And I don't like what I love
Los Angeles? Really, Oh my gosh, I'm getting you're saying,
you know there's homeless people everywhere, and you know it's
a problem. You don't like it. I'm well, I'm saying
that if we do this right, we can we can
make this city better for everyone. And that's what I
think we can get to here, but we just have
to really do the work some sort of you know,

(19:48):
socialistic Dan has a hard time doing the work kind
of in his personal life, and then that kind of
bleeds over. I mean, that's what you said, That's what
you think. I've invited you to my Ayahwascar retreats many
times and you refused to come because I don't want to. Yeah,
but you've seen the change in me. I did anything
I didn't iwash you every day for two straight years
and and I just want you to open yourself up,

(20:11):
open yours. When are you so kumbaya? I'm not saying
I'm just saying, at the end of the day, we're
all on the same team here. I think that's the
point you're trying to make it. Yes, but what about
rugged capitalism? I love, I love you know, I'm trying
to start versus you. What if we did this hey
on house community. Let's say there's a thousand there's a
thousand of you in this encampment. We got eight hundred homes,

(20:32):
which two hundreds are you guys? Decide? Yeah, and then
we kind of let them figure it out and we
make it a show. There you go, It's Los Angeles.
I'll be honest with you, the way in which we've
designed our homeless services system right now, it does feel
like a very cruel competition that we com we have
so few homes. You're making its sounds sad instead of fun.
To me, it's really sad. We have so much need

(20:54):
out there and we have made it like some kind
of absurd and sick competition. And it doesn't have to
be that way. And if do you support safe injection sites?
Am I right? Yes? Well why should I pay for
someone else to get high? You know? It's is that?
Isn't that basically the policy equivalent of being like the
cool mom who lets kids drink in the basement. I
think people who are really struggling with substance abuse, with addiction,

(21:17):
they are going to use no matter what. And right
now we're in this moment where we have the largest
number of overdoses happening across America, overdose deaths happening. For me,
when you're dealing with a crisis, that's that enormous. I
think we have to do everything in our power to
make sure that we are preventing death. Why don't we
dish out the drugs that actually help people, like ayahuasca,

(21:39):
like mushrooms, like acid, the the psychogelic drugs that are
give you a spiritual experience where you take them once
and you say, I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't want to live this life anymore. We're going
to encourage people to do the bad drugs safely. Why
can't we encourage them because we're just saying, like a
T shirt cannon just sort of be blasting drugs. Yeah,
canisters of ayahuaskin? Say, hey, what do you think about that?
Using government wants to blast out to ayahuasca to the people.

(22:02):
You know, I don't. I don't know that much about ahuasca.
I'd love to learn more. It's not not something not
something that I'm very familiar with. I have a great guru.
He is just a white guy, but he knows his stuff.
I don't like to make policy proclamations without doing my research. Absolutely. Yeah. Sometimes,

(22:29):
you know, a doctor will say that a symptom is
sort of the root of it is something deeper, and
with homelessness, it seems like it could be the symptom
of something deeper in society. But I don't want to
think about it. That way, and that's all. That's not
a question. The question, I know, there's no question who
who's is there the most like the most popular homeless person?
There a number one in Los Angeles. Who's the number one?

(22:51):
Who is the number one most popular homeless person? There's
not like a list or like a thirty or thirty
or something sort of a no, I don't know the
answer to that. Yeah, it seems like as a council member,
that's something maybe you know, I will say that. You know,
we have a site in our district which is an
interim housing site. Just yesterday, one of those individuals I'll

(23:14):
call her Eileen to preserve her privacy, but she moved
from that hotel site into a permanent home and all
of the staff at that hotel came out and gave
her cards and gave her big hugs. Might be number one.
I think she's number one. She's number one, right. She
was everyone's favorite person at the at the project room.

(23:35):
That's really sweet. I mean, Dan, you've never experienced being
anyone's favorite person, so that would be there's many many
people have told me I'm your favorite, who you're my favorite?
I'm gonna I don't want to say their real name,
but I'm gonna call her Eileen. So, okay, did come
up to um you know? So you know, with your policies,
you want there to be more white homeless people, right,

(23:56):
and then that would be that's a real question. Okay.
So I guess I would say that I really want
there to be less homelessness overall. But I think we
can fix some of the issues that have led to
more people of color being homeless in l A. Right.

(24:18):
So I think there are issues in our housing system.
It's really structural racism embedded in our housing markets, embedded
in our rental markets, that then lead to people of
color being overrepresented in our homeless population. But that doesn't
mean I want more white people being homeless. I just
want less homeless overall, and I think we can get there.
I think we can get there. For those who have

(24:39):
listened and do want to get involved, and do want
to learn more information about you, where can they go
to find out more information? Where can they go to
get involved? So I do some I do a lot
of reading, and I talked about the stuff I'm reading
and thinking about a lot of my personal social media.
So at Nitia for the City on Instagram and Twitter,
and then my office is at CD four Los Angeles.
So if you want to hear about stuff that's happening

(25:01):
in city hall, you want to hear about things that
are you know, coming up in city council or events
that we're doing, it's all at CD four, Los Angeles.
What are you currently reading? You're going to laugh, but
I'm actually reading a book called Homelessness as a Housing Problem.
Check out. Ok she's got some good ones. Ntea. Thank

(25:21):
you so much for yes with us. I'm always aspiring
to be more like a man in my thinking. So
that's really respect. Respect for you. That's why I came.
You have my vote. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you so much for having me. Well,

(25:44):
that was interesting, certainly. Yeah, there was a lot in
there that if she came off as smarter or better,
what I'm saying is right, we have the last thing
we can control that, Okay, And what I would want
to do is just make sure I get to hear
the interview before where we put it out, so I
can maybe, you know, even re record some parts. There

(26:04):
were parts where I felt like we were kind of
losing especially you if there you know what I mean,
like we had that. Well, first of all, it doesn't
actus were kind of on the same team. Yeah, that's true,
you're losing. And if she said anything, you know, the
good point, well, her point about homelessness being an issue
that affects not just the homeless but also those that
was when. But that's why I was trying to say.
What I was trying to say there is that sometimes

(26:26):
it's you know, the symptom and and it's exposing a
deeper problem unhealthiness, sickness, a disease going on in the
greater body. And I said, that's not the case here.
But that's why I said that. I know, but you
brought up which was kind of a good point for
exactly for me, No, but it was for that's something
she would agree with, I think. And so you said

(26:47):
that sometimes that's true, right, and I said it's not
this time. And the point of that was to cut
her off before she could say, I don't know if
you accomplished that. She made some good points, Dan, what
are we gonna do? She made some good point. What
I'm saying is if we discredit her, sort of right,
if we discredit her, it can help us, you know,
I've been around some bizarre people in my Iowascar retreats,
no one was as asy as her. Ni Roman was

(27:08):
the weirdest person I've ever met. I saw her on
the street talking to an animal or so, and I'm like,
that's that's that's out there and it may not have
been her, but it may have been her, and that's
what's important. That's what's important. That's what you should take
away from this interview. I saw her do something weird.
I don't know if it was her, but it probably
was her. She might do weird things, forget everything else.
She said, Now, when you say talking to an animal,
do you just mean kind of patting a dog and
being like, oh hello, or do you mean like I can't, George,

(27:31):
that's not that weird. But the way it was happening
with whoever that woman was, who I think was council
Member nitthyr Raman, I'm allowed to say that, okay. And
that's what you should take away from that interview, right
that we have. There may not have been petting a
dog and saying sweet things to it, and the implications
of that are up to you, are up to you, thinkers,
and that's it. That's it and that's it. So thank you,

(27:51):
thank you for being on the show helping us out
come up with these ideas. Really appreciate it. I need
to get back to the nice Red County. We'll head
out to Woodland Hills, Eagan Country. Yeah, I was thinking
of moving to Austin. I've been thinking about that a lot.
You know, Joe's there. I've been thinking about that a ton.
And you could do. I could see you do stand
up well yeah, I mean I yeah, my shows are

(28:12):
probably kind of book up quick. I don't know if
we could get you in, but I could do a
smaller city point all right, but it's a smaller city,
so maybe you would have shows that would But that's
why the venue sells on many seats. So every city
has venue sizes reflect the population of that city. I
don't know if what what venues you've been hanging out around,
but that's how venues work. You go to Pittsburgh, Austin,
the smaller cities, Denver, it's like, well these this many

(28:34):
people live here now, so this is how many seats
are we have to remove or at a seat in
case the Martnu football game. And you ever knew a
Buffalo Bills game. No one's there. Those they're packed, but
they're packed for less seats, so yes, they it's sold
even bigger because that's the main event. University of Michigan
is one of the biggest stadiums. That's collegiate though, so
that's different. Okay, well we learned a lot here today

(28:55):
thinkers about stadiums and about homelessness, especially in law Los Angeles.
But guys, just keep thinking, keep tasting your keep taking
your Sandman implements, never stop thinking, and until the next time,
good vibe.
