(00:03):
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcomeback to the Rundown Episode two. I
know I kind of executive decision thatname, but I think it's pretty cool,
and you see, didn't seem tohave too much of an issue with
it, Brian, I like it. Yeah, yeah, but but yes,
uh, today i've you know,I did a little bit more preparation

(00:28):
for our you know, escapades todaycompared to the last episode. I want,
I'm gonna and I'm going to startsharing my screen and I want to
show you a particular video. Okay, let's see, you're an act and
I mean, let's be clear,you're an actor, right, Brian,
Yeah, people should know that aboutme. You yep, and you are

(00:53):
a very good actor. I wouldalso like to including that I've seen you
both like make your own skits,and I've seen you do plenty of other
great things. Let's let's let's lookat this real quick. I want to
get your general opinion. I'm sorrythat my computer is going at the rate

(01:17):
of molasses. Uh before can youhear this march is evoking the country's Nazi
path. Might have to turn itup just a bit. That's a that's
amazing. Sorry, Yeah, yeah, I just want to let me just
pull up a video real quick.Clear. I promise you you can hear
me. Okay, you can hearthat. Okay, great, I promise

(01:38):
ladies and gentlemen. Next time,we're going to do a sound check before
we're recording. But I want toget but just cold open. I want
to get your impression on this man'sacting right here. So I almost forgot
that up here you met Gavin inCalabasas. I didn't just meet him a

(02:04):
little Schmitt. What happened? What'swrong? You just made up with my
dad? Yeah, so in yourprofessional experience, what do you think of

(02:25):
that man's range as an actor?Well, he's also this is from Newer
right, that's Schmidt. That's Schmidt. I heard that him. The I
don't know the actor names Nick isanother character, and yeah, I don't

(02:50):
know all them. Yeah. Iwas just gonna make the point that I
think all three of those guys thathave been on the show, like they're
really taking their like acting game upright now. Like the black guy,
he's in Fargo and he does allthese like bank commercials. So that's good
that he's working more. But Imean it's steady money and I other dude

(03:17):
is Peter Parker in the Spider Versemovies, and he's doing some other stuff.
But I mean, I I mygirlfriend loves New Girl. The episodes
I've seen of it are hilarious.So I have a hard time watching New
Girl because I you know me,I have a very difficult time seeing I
get very bad third party cringe.So I that is a definitely a difficulty

(03:39):
that I have to deal with.But I get that, which bring which
brings me into like I think thewe talked last week mostly about Kat Williams,
and you know that interview kind ofbeing kind of like huge and and
and one of the things I knowthat Ludacris like recorded like came out of

(04:00):
like twenty years of retirement to likerecord a fucking disk track about him and
shit, But like one o thethings like like not one person has said,
like through all the admonishments I heard, I just just I want to
just so we can touch on somethingfrom last week, not one person said
he lied. Nope, they said, like we gotta clarify, so shit,

(04:25):
but not a lie. Yeah,but uh, and that's said just
real quick to stay on the subjectfor a second. Just sure That's what
I was saying last week. Likeeven with the Kevin Hart like he's a
plant uh tight talk. I don'tknow, I feel like that's more exaggeration

(04:45):
than anything. But he is rightin the sense of you don't see another
black comedian make it a year aftercoming to LA. And I'm not saying
that. You know, Kevin Hartwas definitely killing shitn't Philly because Charlemagne the
God and Andrew Schultz literally said thathe was. But you do not see

(05:09):
a LA is a different animal.You gotta remember, like like the comic
scene and the and the Hollywood sceneare two separate beasts. Like you know,
someone who's a great who's like acomics comic of great comic isn't necessarily
going to translate and do well asa as a as a TV person and

(05:30):
vice versa. Like I saw EllenDegenerous as old Specials. I mean,
we get it, you're gay,and I guess for nineteen ninety something,
that's like the most interesting thing aboutyou. And that's enough. But like
you know, even with like theRepublicans trying to like make lynching alphabet mafia

(05:55):
people like legal or some again orsome shit that like it's still like not
relevant among people our age, likejust be you know, like it's been
normally people's sexuality has been normalized toa heavy extent, and that's a good
thing. That's a good thing.It's like, you know, that's important.
But I uh uh, I kindof wanted to bring this into and

(06:18):
get your thoughts on. And Idon't know if you've seen this, but
you know, there's currently a hysteriaon the internet saying all that the old
guard YouTubers are retiring and maybe givenall the shit that they've dealt with,
they're like, hey, enough isenough. Because I feel like, especially

(06:38):
with like Matt pat like he's likehey, and not that I don't feel
appreciated by my audience, but Ithink the sentiment of being appreciated about YouTube
is like clear. I think,well, I mean, that's obviously could
be like an underlying pin of it, but I think the vibe of this
is less to do with YouTube's bullshitbecause everybody's always dealt with youtube' bullshit.

(07:00):
It We'll have to deal with YouTubebullshit from now into perpetuity. I'm gonna
have to deal with it. Butthe fact of the matter is is that,
uh, specifically for Tom Scott andMatt Patt, you know, being
the one like the two big ones. They left primarily because they have had
They said that they've worked themselves intothe ground for ten for over a decade

(07:25):
at this for decades at this point, and Tom Scott was very much like
I've been neglecting relationships, and Mattpat was like, I'd like to have
dinner with my wife and talk aboutsomething besides work, you know what I
mean, Like like, well,I think I think me and you saw
a generation of YouTubers who didn't knowwhat a YouTuber was supposed to be,

(07:47):
so then they had to have theroad. Not only that, but they
had to have like break neck workethic that not many people in other fields
have. I akin it to somethinglike game development and being in the stages
of UH crunch, but like that'sthe entire entirety of your career, you

(08:11):
know, because I think I thinkof these things like with Jack Septica and
market Plier and PewDiePie, who usedto put out two videos a day,
every single day, and even theywere like, hey, this is too
fucking much. From UH filming thestuff to editing to posting and social media

(08:31):
behind it. I feel like alot of YouTubers who maintain the once opposed
daily routine that YouTube makes you follow, I feel like they slowly but surely
started to see that even with livestreams, it wasn't as worth it compared
to the moments that they were missingout on. Yeah, no, that's

(08:54):
one hundred percent. It's like,I'm I think it's a miracle that fucking
Tom Scott would about that Matt Patwas able and his wife were able to
like find enough time to have sexto make two children, let alone to
raise two children. Because it's like, because it's like Tom Scott absolutely he
put his entire dick into every video. Of course he did, you know,
dove off travel and study and researchand everything that goes on with that.

(09:18):
But like you know, Matt Pathas four separate channels and has teams
and teams of editors to help himout with the ship that he had to
hire, you know, like Ithink, I think, I think Matt
Pat, you know, and andit's and and like the reason why,
like I wonder and like also it'slike also other people are seeing, like
these two juggernauts leave and I meanJack Septic, I put out a tweet

(09:41):
himself. I don't know if yousaw this here, I'll share my screen.
I saw nothing about these stories.I just heard that Matt Pat said
he was going to leave YouTube.Why. I don't know why. My
discord is being lai at levels ofslow. But yeah, I'm just gonna

(10:07):
pull this up so you can,so we can see it properly. That's
not supposed to be that way,but whatever this is, we're a professional
out We're a professional outlet here spokesUh. Yeah, Matt Pat's video made
me realize I've been doing YouTube fora literal third of my life. Uh
don't don't you fucking dare Man OperaJexas, Like, don't even think about

(10:30):
a jack with a fucking spray bottle. Hey Evan, real quick, it's
up. What's up? There's aHella echo? Is there? Now?
I don't know if it's on myit's probably on your end. I'm not
I don't think there's too bad ofan echo on my end. But I
stopped sharing, so it should bebetter now. Yeah, when you were
sharing the screen, at least forme, it was bad. I don't

(10:54):
know about the audience, but yeah, I mean it's crazy. They literally
are laving way in some respect.Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying
that they don't make money from it. They definitely do. But and I
mean that that's and I mean that'sthe profession that I'm choosing myself, because
I do find joint content creation.There's a really really interesting TikTok that was
out that I saw a while ago. Basically, I'll see if I can

(11:18):
find it while I'm talking about it, but basically, in a nutshell,
uh what what effectively is the case? Is? Here? It is?
I found it on YouTube. Here'sthe tiktoking question. Let me share my
screen and I'll share it with everybodyto heat how. I'm also gonna sending

(11:46):
you a video over instad after this. Nice, but I'll get that cued
up. Yeah, this is thethis was the this is the tiktoking question.
Here's something you want you to ponderwith. Men. That's not it.
That's not it, a group,that's not it? Where the fuck
did it for? What the fuckthere it is? At all? Recently?

(12:09):
You may have all right here?Can you hear it? Okay?
Yeah, you know we are allright? So this is the video on
question. Notice that a lot ofpeople are quitting. Twenty twenty three started
off with anth Poe and Seth Evermanboth completely quitting making videos they're done forever,
and as of this past week,we've seen YouTubers basically quit the content
that they're known for and are insteadgoing down a new route. Meet Kenyon

(12:31):
put a pause on animations to focuson his second channel, Tom Scott quit
his main channel to focus on hispodcast, and Joe Haver quit weekly shorts
to make monthly movies. And youmight be sitting there wondering what kind of
like that? Why is everything Iknow and love dying? The world hates
me? And I've got the answerfor you. But I want to start
off by explaining what happens when yougo full time on YouTube. About a

(12:54):
year and a half ago, Iwas lucky enough to finally make YouTube my
full time job. I went fromserving food for many years to finally having
the opportunity to have my final dayof work tell every customer to suck my
friend, and to be able tospend all of my time doing what I
love. But the issue with goingfull time with YouTube is that it's kind
of scary when you're starting out onYouTube. Before you have any sort of

(13:15):
sizeable audience, you're fueled by hope, Hope that one day you're gonna be
known amongst all the other people youwatch, Hope that you'll make money off
doing what you love, and hopethat you'll have tons of subscribers who love
your videos. And once you achievethat, once you quit your job or
school and focus solely on making moneythrough you, why did that tube?

(13:35):
You are now being fueled? Whatthe fuck? All My fear every day
goes from I wonder if this videowill blow up so people will notice me,
to oh fuck, if this videodoesn't do well, I'm not gonna
be able to eat. And that'snot a good place for you to be
mentally when you're trying to make funcontent. And logically you'd think once it's
your main job, you know youhave more time so you can make more

(13:56):
videos, which means you'll get moreviews and more money. That makes sense,
right, But that's not how itreally works, because YouTube isn't like
a regular job. In a regularjob, if you go from working twenty
hours a week to forty hours aweek, you make double the money because
you did double the work, orat least work double your hours. But
on YouTube, you can go frommaking four videos a month to making eight

(14:16):
videos a month, or even twelvevideos a month and make even less money
than when you were making four videosa month. So now knowing that information,
it makes sense why people are quittingor switching what they're doing. For
me Canyon, for example, insteadof having a big team that's putting a
shit ton of time, energy,and money into each animation, he can
instead make commentary videos that take lesstime, have less money put into them,

(14:39):
and actually get way more of areward out of it because it's most
likely not going to get demonetized.He can put a sponsor in the video
without it ruining the story. It'smore likely to get shown more because it's
a long video, and when theYouTube algorithm sees a video over thirty minutes,
it comes its pants and shows itto everyone, and the ad revenue
for those videos are going to bemultiple times what it was for an animation
because now you can put mid rolesin the video. So when you break

(15:01):
it down like that, there isno incentive to want to keep making animations
when it is draining you mentally andfinancially. Now in Joel Haver's case,
he's going the opposite route of whatmost YouTubers here are doing, and he's
going to put more time into hiscontent and make less money. But that's
because he's insane and not because it'sa smart business move. If you've been
on YouTube at all recently, youmay have noticed that. But that's but

(15:22):
that's the vine. That's basically it. I you know, it's it's it's
really is a case of like itreally is honestly a case of you know,
it's just it's it's. That's that'sthe brass tacks of it. It's
like certain types of YouTube content justaren't tenable to keep around anymore. And

(15:45):
that's really unfortunate that that them's therules at this point, you know what
I mean, it's what else canbe said about it? Yeah, I
think also, uh, there wasa comment there. I'm not sure if
you saw it, but it wastalking about how mister Beef kind of killed
YouTube for how it was, andI mean it's pretty true. Yeah,

(16:07):
there was. I did. Idid see that comment. You can't really
like you can technically, I mean, I'm doing it. I'm putting low
budget, mid effort videos and I'vegrown. I mean I've been shadow banded
for like the last month and ahalf. But I think that it looked
for the last like month. ButI think that's less it has less to

(16:30):
do with I think that has likemore to do with, you know,
some of my choices back in earlyDecember, mid late November of like gutting
my channel of like shorts and clipsand then immediately reversing course after like a
week and a half and doing theopposite. So YouTube, my algorithm presence
has been kind of punished in butlike to his point about like the YouTube

(16:55):
algorithm like coming in its pants everytime you see a video, like a
long video. I mean, there'sthere's a reason why I have, like,
you know, tomorrow, Like tomorrow, I have like like I normally
put out videos, you know,Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, But now
I am, you know, Iam thinking about replacing audio decks, podcast

(17:18):
episodes. I'll just put those outlike when when the fuck ever? Ill,
maybe I'll just put those out onlike Sundays or something like who cares?
And and you know, you knowtomorrow, I am, you know,
I started doing commentary videos like todayThursday. You know, I had,
you know, a pretty sizable clipfrom my last stream, which was

(17:40):
you know, it was only likefive or six minutes long. But I
was railing against Take two Interactive intheir choice to make, you know,
GTA six a console exclusive, notnot not one particular console, but just
there's no PC ports And the reasonfor that is they don't want to deal
with monding this time around, whichI get. I get that, but

(18:00):
I get that from a business sense, but it's still so I don't know,
I don't quite agree because Take twodid the same ship with GTA five.
They always do it. Yeah,well they they did. They did
it with GTA five until they gotso unbelievably lambasted by the community that they
reversed course and they teaching. Theythey usually wait like six months to a

(18:22):
year and then they do a PCport because it happened with Red Dead two
it was a concert exclusive into ayear in because it got released with Red
Dead Online because they had the twentydollars option GTA five, I remember without
a doubt they did that shit,and because GTA Online wasn't released when it

(18:45):
first released, and they wanted PCplayers to be able to do it.
This is the reason that they saidthey wanted PC players to have the updated
graphics and everything and then also haveGTA online in the game. But I
get what you're saying. I hearit. Yeah, yeah, But like
to bring it back to what wewere originally talking about, like you know,

(19:06):
function functionally at the end of theday, like at the at the
at the at the end of theday, like it's like I'm putting out
like commentary videos, like twenty minutecommentary videos to sort of like cover my
bases because like I put out,you know, two videos, like on
a Monday, and then on aTuesday, I put out like an eight

(19:26):
minute video, and then I putout like a fifteen to twenty minute video
where it's just commentary of me talkingon like games and shit. And they
did like a thousand views. Yeah, they legit like did a stupid like
genuinely dumb dumb, dummy, dumbdumb dumb amount of money, amount of

(19:47):
views enough that like you know,it gave me one hundred watch hours just
off the fucking bat because people werewatching it and engaging with the comments.
And that's the other thing, likeYouTube de prioritize the co comments system for
so long but with the change tothe algorithm that comes with shorts, you
know, comment and a number ofcomments in the fact that people are engaging

(20:08):
is now like a really fucking importantmetric that matters again and it's well also
real quick, I also want tosay it doesn't suck, but yeah,
I just want to say a detrimentwith YouTube. If you're doing anything other
than commentary or gameplay or podcast contentis YouTube really isn't the place for that

(20:32):
type of stuff unless you have anoperation like mister Beast that has production that's
already associated with the cost of creatingthat video. That's why I like the
Joel Haber h Mee Kenyon. I'mnot sure if you remember two stacks,
but like this happened to him allthat time ago, back in like twenty

(20:53):
fourteen, twenty fifteen. If youmake long if you make content that is
expensive to create, but it isa spectacle to be seen, like YouTube
isn't the place for that. Andthat's what's shitty about every other sect of
content creator that isn't commentary, gameplay, podcasts. Yeah, I mean,

(21:18):
I I mean I if we ifI like, you know, just as
an experiment, I pull up myyou know YouTube algorithm, and it's like,
you know, pretty solid. Youknow, it's i'd say it's a
fairly Why can't I share my screenfrom here? Fuck you discord. I
was hoping I wouldn't have to dothat whatever, But like if we just

(21:40):
look at my my my YouTube homescreen, you know, it's like commentary
video news commentary, video video essayon ogre on like ogres and stuff in
D and D commentary like like likelike like clickbait video on like people,
you know, making shitty views abouta game I care about. Political commentary

(22:04):
video video essay, you know,on Game of Thrones, like you know,
a gameplay video ship like that,and then you got then you got
the shorts, and then I strolleddown any further, you know, a
commentary video on food only trying food, video essay on cats. News commentary,

(22:26):
video news commentary video clip. Youknow, it's just it's it's just
it's it's it's awful. It's awful. Yeah. I think this this is
my last like opinion on the wholematter. I feel like when that first
YouTube uh calling began, I don'tremember if it was the one where Pewdiepiece

(22:51):
dropped the N word but around thattime, which POC you're talking about the
dpocalypses uh yeah, or or maybeeven like the what is it? Uh?
Oh shit, I can't remember theword, uh, the Spider Man
else the videos like even at thattime, I feel like the emphasis when

(23:12):
uh, advertisers had the ability toyou know, have final say on a
place like YouTube, that was thebeginning of the end. Yeah. And
don't get me wrong, I knowit's how they make their money, but
it still sucks. So real quick, this video Dragon ball Z Sparkling zero

(23:33):
is coming out soon. It doesn'thave a release date yet, but it's
pretty much the new Boudakai ten Kai. Before you play it, just let
me let me, let me spina field a little bit. So.
One thing that I've always loved isBoudakai ten Kaichi three. I love the
boudo Kai ten Kaichi game series,if you know, you know, like

(23:56):
the definitive Dragon ball Z game fightinggames. Right. Emulation is such an
interesting subject. And it's a videothat I saw on Instagram where they bring
boudakay three, a game made backin like six or seven, and they
fully make it four k HD andsay, I don't even know the more,

(24:19):
uh, you know, inclusive terms, but just you could play the
video now because watching this video,it is crazy to think that you could
do this with any game on PCbecause emulation. Yeah all right, so
let me let me play. Letme play this real quick. Also,

(24:41):
I should probably just real quick closea bunch of bees so I'm not watching
that. I'm not watching that.That no proud, no proud. Yeah.
Okay, Hey, the heavily requestedDragon Ball z BT three. I'm
running the WEE version on the Eudokaof the Dolphin emulator. First, a

(25:02):
bump the original resolution of six fortyfive twenty eight up eight x two fifty
one and twenty by forty two twentyfour. You'll gorgeous. Notice the cell
shading looks pixelated. Go to graphicsenhancements and enables scaled e f E copy.
Now it's not pixelated, but wehave a new problem of ghosting.
Go to graphics enhancements too, andslide the conditional e FB copy slider to

(25:22):
around sixteen percent. This gets usplaying in crystal clear. I know,
I want to see how eat doesn'tstep by step. Okay, for sure,
that's interesting a resolution. Next,I enable the following emulator enhancements two
x MxA sixteen x anastrophic filtering disabled, follow FUR twenty four, big color
force dithering, perfect slighting, bonglighting and auto bumps. Then I grab

(25:44):
STAND twenty one's HD texture path,name of the game serial number and place
it an emulator load texture folder andgo to graphics events and enable load custom
textures. Now we are running AIupscaled high resolution textures. Lastly, go
to graphics post processing and at eyduka FX enable scene to mapping textra sharpened
and fixed with vibrance. If youare feeling adventurous, you can enable s
SAO and SSGI, which injects globalillumination and looks cool to me but totally

(26:08):
changes the art style here. Itis from the base resolution bumped to five
K, then with the emulator enhancementsand fixes, followed by the HD textures,
then with post processing global illumination.If you so desire or from start
all the way to finish product,praise emulations and have cold even with the
sun. Amen be cold. Yeah, that's gorgeous. That's actually genuinely fucking

(26:30):
insane. And he posts like awhole bunch of h tutorial videos on all
games. So now I want tobe clear, I am I personally am
not a graphics junkie at all.Yeah, I mean, I'll never do
that. No, it's not eventhat I don't. Graphics are so low

(26:56):
on like the range of the thingsthat I care about that it's just it's
cool. And don't get me wrong, it's a great, cool feed of
engineering. But I don't necessarily feellike it's something that matters. I think
I feel like when it comes togame gameplay it's more important. But as
far as emulation is concerned, I'mvery much for the practice of emulation,

(27:18):
because there's there is a there arevery very there's very very much a lot
of games that are lost to history, and they are lost to history because
of of short of because of theshort sightedness and greed of gaming, of

(27:40):
gaming publishers and conglomerates and corporations,and so that I I think, I
you know, I I'm very Ihave a very very loose determination of I
think it is regardless of the legalityI personally believe in. This is not
me advocating for anybody else. Thisis just my own personal belief that it
is morally okay to pirate a gameand emulate it. If the company that

(28:07):
owns that ip or or there,or if the company that like owns that
game has given you zero possible wayof legally buying it from them. Now,
people might jump into the comments hereand say, but Evan, what

(28:30):
about the third harp third hand market. I'm gonna google you guys a game,
and I'm gonna show you guys agame. Okay, So I'm gonna
so this is a game that Iplayed. It's a GameCube game. It's
lovely. It's called Gotcha Force mybutt. My good friend Declan Hendrix it
is. It is a awesome likebeat them up fighter type of game where

(28:52):
you've got hundreds and hundreds of differentcharacters that you can like fight things with
and it's like you're you know,it's like a little to that are like
like dragon ball z fighter toys.It's awesome. It's a wonderfully great game.
It's very it's very much like avery If we look at this YouTube
clip here, like this is likewhat the gameplay kind of like looks like
a little bit They've got an entirestories and ship and this is like what

(29:17):
kind of the gameplay looks like.It's it's awesome. It's it's it's it's
it's a it's a fun romp ofa time. I'm now going to put
show you what it looks. Howmuch it costs in the shopping network.
Oh god, damn, that isup two hundred. That is up to
that is up almost four hundred.Like that is up almost two hundred dollars

(29:41):
two three hundred dollars from a decadeago. Not damn. So that's just
the game and it and it's aand it's it's that it didn't sell well
at launch, they didn't make anymany reprints of it, and so unfortunately
that's all there is. Well,the thing I like about emulation also to

(30:07):
go with your point, yeah,forgotten games, but also games that for
whatever reason haven't gotten a remake,haven't gotten a remaster. They're only on
Xbox three sixty PS three era orbefore. And it's like, hey,
if you're not going to make thisgame available for the public nowadays, we
might as well be able to makeit public for ourselves, you know,

(30:30):
right. And And the thing isis that the elect the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
which is I believe no, it'snot the eff it's a different one.
It's there's basic Uh basically the basicallythe trade group that represents the video

(30:51):
game industry has lobbied Congress repeatedly toprevent them from adding, you know,
like rules for video game are archivisationbecause what's up? Sorry finish? Yeah,
I was just I go where yougo? I go? I go?

(31:12):
Okay, I go. The lastthing I was gonna say was And
it's primarily because and and and ofcourse the fucking old, the octagenarians that
run our country aren't going to careabout are gonna be like, okay,
fine, whatever, we won't putit in the boat. Who gives a
ship because they, you know,don't really view they don't really view view

(31:33):
video games as like a video gamesis like a as like a medium worth
protecting. They view it as likea toy. They like, like they
still are thinking about It's like,oh, it's just a toy. These
are just toy makers. Who givesa ship? Right? Which brings me?
Which which that point I'm gonna touchback on after you say your point,
when I moves into the next subjectthat I think is gonna get you

(31:55):
fucking eat it? Okay, Uh, let me ask you this. Uh,
just the PS five about a week, having in two weeks at this
point. Maybe something interesting I readin their terms of service is even if
you purchase a physical copy, youare licensing the gift. Yeah, how

(32:16):
do you feel? How does thatmake you feel? Because I know you're
big on game ownership, you will. It's just just another example of corporations
telling us you will own nothing.Sleep like live in the pod, eat
the bug. Literally. But butI posted a video today and I put

(32:37):
and it came out today because Iyou know, and we can and and
it was just my kind of opinion. It was like me covering the subject
matter and everything of that. ButI'll pull this, I'll pull up the
I'll pull it up and do tab. I'm not gonna play it just because
a I want everybody watching this videoto go watch that video, because god

(32:59):
damn it be some fucking watchto Iwant to make YouTube partner, but also
because I'm not gonna just sit hereand play a video that I made talking
about something that feels like particularly narcissistic. Now, what is the specifics of
this Because I heard about it,but I didn't read about it so so
so basically what happened was I washoping that without it, without giving your

(33:25):
person I wanted to keep I wanted, I wanted, I wanted to keep
the thumbnail up for it. Butit's whatever. But basically, in a
nutshell, the ship that happened withit was so so you're aware that,
like the sag Aftra members, allof them were just like, fuck AI.
We don't want like to be forcedto use AI, and we don't

(33:46):
want like our you know, artto be used to train artificial intelligence to
make bad art into and into andfor and for dumb and for dumb executives
who don't who don't have an artfulbone in their fucking body mm hmm,
to try and use that to savesome fucking money, you know general,

(34:07):
like as an artist yourself, Likeyou're in clients to like agree with that
statement more or less. So,So here's the issue Replica AI, right,
Replica AI is basically so so ReplicaAI is essentially a a company that

(34:32):
has effectively made the choice that basicallytakes voice models and uh, they basically
take voice models, and they hjust you know, they allow you to
like buy like to generate you know, voices for games and stuff. So

(34:55):
I'm gonna type in Rep Studios example, and they have a YouTube channel where
you can like look at you knowthat some of their products and what they're
doing. And so I'm gonna goto their videos here and I'm gonna pull
up this was the video that Iused for that one. And this is

(35:16):
you know, did we have ReplicaAI voice actors with unreal engine? So
I'm gonna show you two things.So this what I'm about to show you
was the voice model that they hadtwo years ago. Right, this was
the voice model that like this cameout two three years ago. This then,

(35:37):
this was the technology that they wereusing to you know, do everything
the way they were going to write. Let me play this for you real
quick. The Black cell Stone containsthousands of demonic cells your mind in rooms.

(36:01):
My family was butchered by Hellsborne.To witness such a thing is enough
to leave your mind in ruins,and then they do some other shenanigans to
try and make it better. Myfamily was butchered by hellsborne. To witness
such a thing is enough to leaveyour mind in ruins. And then you

(36:24):
can add even more filters and stuff. Butchered by hellsborne to witness such a
thing is enough to leave your mindin ruins. And then and then basically
they are glorifying it. And thiscame out three years ago. Okay,
this came out. This came outthree years ago. Now this are the

(36:49):
models that they're using. This cameout a month ago. Okay, this
is this is there. This istheir generation of AI voice models. So
they basically are using They basically likeupgraded their entire library. And on the

(37:15):
brink of tomorrow. Here we standon the brink of tomorrow, always ready
for what's next. Rise beside me, brave warriors for honor calls us to
battle. Ready the arrows hold,hold fire? Yeah, one more so,

(37:45):
what are you eating for? Let'sdo this? Yeah? So that's
so so oddly enough, not particularlyyou know, you think that over the
course of three years shit would getbetter. Well, I think part of

(38:07):
the reason that they've had some difficultieswith this is because they are the finding
voice actors that are willing to letyou use their voices and finding voice actors
that have enough range that this wouldbe something worth doing, is you know?
Hard? So where the sag afterstuff comes in is apparently in a

(38:30):
closed door meeting and negotiation with ReplicaStudios. Sag Aftra okayed screen act members
of the Actors Guild to sell theirAI replicas to Replica studios and they'll get
and get compensated whenever they're used.And also they have the ability to deny

(38:54):
their stuff being used in perpetuity.So let me break that down real quick.
Everybody in sag Aftra said, no, we don't want a We want
as little AI as possible. Two, they did the the they making allowed

(39:15):
like actors who are in financially direstraits now have an like are now have
like an avenue that where that willeffectively devalue their ability to make guard in
the future for the benefit of shortterm gain. And last and lastly,

(39:37):
people's voices not being used in perpetuityis opt in. It's not the default.
You have to explicitly say that here'shere's my and so and so,
and before you get started, Iwant to just wrap up like you know,

(40:00):
the like the like, like allthe fucking Cartoon Network era vas like.
It wasn't just and here's the thing. It was specifically in video game
voice actors and and people in thewider voice acting community for things like Cartoon
Network animation stuff like that. Thoseare very very much you know, vocalizing
on this too. Nobody, youknow, it's like nobody seems to have

(40:23):
been asked about this meeting like onthis or seen it until the press release
and the voice actor and part ofZagastra except the Sagas leadership said that in
in in in in two with liketalking with our v our affected you know
members, We talked with our perfectedmembers and came to an agreement that would

(40:46):
be the best for their professional forlike their rights and careers. Even though
so what I'm thinking what happened isyou probably had some of the geriatric fucks
that run this Sagastra, like likefran Dresser, No, I love France,
I love the nanny, but likeshe's old as ship, like in
my in my like in my mind'seye, who probably a you know,

(41:10):
had a bunch of people like aroundher age or older in that in that
meeting room saying I've done some VAwork before, and then they took that
at face value, like it waslike celebrity cameos or some shit in like
in a Disney movie. And it'snot like you're a fucking Neil Nubun who
played fucking Asterion and Balder's Gate andHeisenberg in fucking Resident Evil Village. It's

(41:35):
just to start fucking you know things. He also played. He also did
the body. Also, he alsodid the body, the mo cap work
and grunting for fucking Nemesis in ther A three make so you know like
it. So it's like people arein the the in the community are very
very upset about this, and they'remore most upset that nobody brought it to
a vote. Well, uh herehere's my opinion on the whole thing.

(41:58):
Right, I don't necessarily agree thatthe nanny should be the president of SAG
currently. I don't agree with thatat all. I don't know how that
happens, but it is what itis. Also, when the only thing
that stopped the union, the SAGand SAG after actors and the writers strike

(42:24):
was the fact that they came toa tentative agreement for the next three years.
So because they did this tentative agreementwith the studios for the next three
years to not make a deciding voteon AI either way, or they might
have said that we're not going toutilize AI in making movies for the next

(42:45):
three years. If they're making thisback room deal with an AI generation,
an AI audio generation company, thatkind of tells me that they they knew
the strikes were losing battle, thatthey were trying to save face, and

(43:06):
they did accomplish one success in makingit opt in as opposed to in perpetuity
without a doubt one of the time, but it still doesn't show that sag
After actually sees a future without theutilization of AI. I don't know if
three years is going to be thelike the definitive time, but but you

(43:32):
know what, you know what Ithink it was. You know what I
think it was. I think whatsag After leadership was trying to do is
they were very much trying. Theyused video game voice actors. Uh,
they used video game voice actors asthe proverbial whipping boys here, like they
they knew that. Like the series, the studios are pushing like they want

(43:57):
to use AI. They want tobecause they they are for it tooth and
fucking they will accept anything so longas they're able to fucking use it.
And you know, it's one ofthose things where it's like immovable force meets
unstoppable object, right, So it'slike SAG is gonna be like SAG,
like like all of the major studioswould rather go bankrupt and Hollywood shut the

(44:21):
fuck down and have to be rebuiltfrom the ashes by by like new people
or some shit before like before theylike give up on the idea of,
oh, we don't have to paysome actors anymore because we can just generate
their voices. They want, so, they wanted, so they're willing.
They're willing to kill these fucking businessesover the ability to fuck over actors and

(44:43):
talent. And that's what always Inever made. It never made sense to
me, especially at dis Laid inthe Game, that these studios and these
executives are walking away with record profitseven at the movie is du shit.
They turn around, they tell youexactly what to do, how to do

(45:05):
it, want to do it?They tell the writers parameters that they have
to stay within mind you writers shouldnever have parameters unless they impose them in
themselves. So and then they turnaround and they swallow all of this profit
and say there is not enough ofa piece of food off of the bone
for you to pick up. It'scrazy, it's almost it's almost it's almost

(45:30):
as if that the executives that arein charge of large corporations are more like
leeches than they are dutiful stewards ofa company. Well, that's why the
the road Runner movie thing was sointeresting for people who don't know there was
supposed to be a John Cena Roadrunnermovie made it tested well if audience people

(45:55):
were excited for it, and thenthey shelve it for a tax bik you
know what else they show for atax break? Our two network studios and
Batman Batwoman. I feel I don'tknow, I gotta, I gotta be
honest with you, chief keep Ifeel like them shelving I feel like them
shelving the entirety of cartoon Network Studiosas like for a tax break was like

(46:19):
fucking that hurt my soul in alevel that I I just like and you
know the funny things you said andyou said it because he said it,
Like, I just don't understand howthese corporate these these these executives do fuck
exactly fucking all. They they activelyruin you know, you know, artistic
direction and stuff like the like thelike the fucking the creator of the West

(46:40):
Wing like literally was fighting executives shownotes tooth and nail and he never took
a note, even though they triedto make him take a note, and
all their notes were fucking bad.Like, I want there to be a
leak, like I want somebody tolike, I want some I want like
an act like a Steven Spielberger's orlike just like we're not even steal Berg

(47:01):
because he's too fucking us. Iwant like a new and up and coming
like director or something to like saveevery fucking show note that they get from
a motherfucker over the course. Iwant you and just like do a dump
on like like on like Blue Skyor something, and be like, hey,
here's a thread over the last fiveyears of me being a big hot

(47:22):
shot you know, movie director orwhatever, and here's all the show notes
executives have given me. These one, these are ones, you know,
and just showing like these are thethree that I took because this one I
thought was an okay idea. Thesetwo I was I was threatened with being
fired if I didn't do it,and the rest of them I was able

(47:43):
to. I was able to getthem to get off my fucking back flor
and look at these dogshit ideas.Well, I was gonna say It's like
I feel like directors are doctors andshowrunners or executives are like the insurance uh,
you know industry, and how theyother way? Other way? No,

(48:04):
no, no, because the insurancecompanies in that industry hold the true
power, and the executives in thefilm industry. I'm saying with like a
director that's not known, or likesomebody who isn't a Spielberg, Like,
if you're not a Tarantino or aSpielberg or Lucas or what the fuck ever,
then you're probably not going to beable to do whatever you want to

(48:28):
do. That's what I'm saying.Right then, wouldn't you be the doctor
in that case? Then, likethe doctor swept flipped the studios saying the
studio is insurance the doctor. That'swhat I was saying. Yeah, yeah,
I was just trying to correct youbecause like I knew where you're going.
I just you said it in reverse. But yeah, no, I

(48:51):
get I get where you're coming fromwith that, and it's just it's it's
and and when you said that,like he's just like, Oh, these
these executives don't do anything. They'rejust fucking waste of space. A lot
of the time, and they breakit and they eat all this profit.
I'm like, have you ever heardof Karl Marx? You're so close,
You're so close. There's a solutionto this. It's it's called it's it's

(49:15):
called you know, it's called workerco ops. My guy like, because
here's the thing. Can you imaginewhat like? Because here's the thing.
Genuinely, I think that most businessesin the United States do not benefit from
a top down corporate structure. Ithink I think the idea of of workplace

(49:36):
democracy of you know, the workersat the at the lowest level voting for
the like voting and choosing their managers, and then the managers choose their manager
and so on and so forth,and or even like they choose like their
boss, their boss's bosses boss andthe CEO all that shit that I feel

(49:59):
like, you know, because becausethe fundamentals of the day is that like,
yes, workers do not know everyaspect of a business, and that
very much is true, and youhave to have somebody who is able to
look at that with a bird's eyeview. The problem is the incentives of
people who with the bird's eye viewdo not are not are like like the

(50:21):
entire like the like see like theCEOs of the people who like are at
the level or they run fortune fivehundred companies or just companies in general in
this in the world. They doit in such a way as like they
show up, they're there for threeyears, they cut as much as they
humanly possible. They are able toshow like quarter after quarter after quarter profits

(50:42):
on paper they get they they fuckoff at the end of their contract with
a golden parachute of one hundred andfifty million dollars and they leave the and
they leave the business in a worseplace than they found it because they wages
are lower, there's less people working, and they cheapened the product by changing
you know, maybe changing suppliers andyou know, making like a worse thing.

(51:04):
And so it's just you just havethis constant in shitification of every company
in America, even the largest onesthat run monopolies on everything. You know.
It just it's just it's it's terrible. It's awful. Yeah, one
thing, real more one thing exclusivelyto the film industry as a whole.
Like we're seeing what a billionaire orCEO who purchases a company and doesn't really

(51:32):
understand the industry. Excuse me withElon Musk and Twitter, right, I
think now Twitter, I think nowTwitter is like thirteen billion dollars, that's
the total evaluation, and he broughtthe bitch for forty four billion. Right.
What I don't understand about the filmindustry as a whole, the business
side of it as a whole,is every decision that these studios make,

(51:55):
whether it be raising the monthly pricesof the streaming services, cutting the excuse
me, cutting the wages of theiractors and the writers, trying to make
AI create amazing stories when AI isnot never can at that level. It
probably never will. But I justdon't understand why every other industry, when

(52:19):
somebody makes a mistake or fucks up, it reflects negatively economically with that business,
But the film industry continues to beon touch. Don't get me wrong,
there's profit losses occasionally, but yearover year, it's still one of
the biggest profit margin industries out there. So, like, what the fuck

(52:40):
can we figure this out? Causeso I actually have a good answer for
this, actually have a good answerfor this. So okay, Coca Cola,
let's just say Coca Cola. Itdoesn't own like it doesn't own like
a quarter of all like the foodand drink production companies in the world.
And just imagine they just make asoda, all right, Coca. Coca

(53:01):
Cola has a very popular product,a good product. Even let's say let's
say they sell exclusively. Then theCoca that only has cane sugar in a
Mexican coke, they gotta good.They got a good product right now,
they sell it. They ever liketheir their CEO, pay their worker,

(53:25):
pay their expenses, all that ship. That's they take that out. The
growth. Anything left is the name. You know this, I know this.
You the viewer probably knows this too. Now what happens is is they
make a change. They move tocorn syrup. People don't like the product

(53:46):
as much, people go to apepsi instead, they sell less Coca cola.
Mm hmm. They have they basedsickly have a business model where they
sell multiple units of their product andthat and and and once the product is

(54:12):
consumed, it no longer exists.And so they basically have to make changes
to their product to like get backto that point. And when they take
losses, you know, you know, they they don't have they don't get
they don't get to have as muchnet or worse than off. They have
to downsize, they have to cutpay all that shit. Here's the problem
with the film industry. They putout a studio like a set, and

(54:42):
a studio will have like multiple projectsgoing on. But like, let's just
say, like a studio is likelike you're a small time studio or whatever,
and you put out one project,like you work on one project at
a time. You make that oneproject. You spend millions of dollars on
this project. It bombs. Sowhat do you do you made, you

(55:04):
have no money. What do youdo? You write that ship off for
taxes, That's what I'm saying.And then and then and then because and
then you very and because you didestimated taxes. You know, you do
estimated taxes. As a big asa big corporate business, you get a

(55:25):
rebate from the government. Yeah,And I think what I'm saying is the
idea that that's how you stay open. It shouldn't. It should be changed
because obviously there it is not beingutilized in the way that whoever created that

(55:45):
loss aw fit. That's what I'msaying, right right so so so the
big thing I will personally say isthat I think that I think that I
think that the idea of like studioexecutives needs to go away. I think
the idea of like. I thinkthat because here's the thing. I understand

(56:06):
that a lot of artists and alot of creatives you know, are ditzy
morons, not all, certainly notall, and certainly not as many as
people think they are. But youand I have both met people in our
lives that are self proclaimed artists thatI'm like, you got talent, you

(56:27):
ain't fucking going nowhere though. Well, I think I think with talent,
especially or being creative, you needa grounded person to be like, hey,
logistically, this is what we couldget away with. We can't do
whatever the fuck you're thinking in yourhead. But that's how you get bullshit

(56:47):
like the room. Well, whatI'm saying is like, to avoid making
a room, you need a teamof people to actually keep you based in
reality. Whoever, the people whoare keeping you based in reality should not
be the ones coming up with theidea the creative ideas. And I think
that's what the fuck we continue tosee, right, And I think the

(57:10):
other big problem is is that Ithink that like there's plenty of artists that
are that grounded person and can alland and you know like that. But
and I think those are the typesof people that in a work or cooperative
type of system would be voted bythis, by this, by like the
by the by the electricians, thestaff, all that shit, like by

(57:31):
the people who work for the differentfunction production company. And they're the ones
that become in charge of like,you know, a studio, right,
like a worker cooperative studio, youhave instead of like having to like ditch
between contract and contract and contract yougot you work at the one place you
know, you might pick up contractsother places you might take work hiatuses and

(57:54):
but like you're a member of thecollective and you get to vote, so
like, yeah, you might notbe getting paid because you're not working on
the project at the collective for thetime being, but like you know,
you could have a collective that mandatoryyou gotta work on one project a year
with us just to stay a partof this bitch. Well, and if

(58:15):
you do get and if you do, the profits are reinvested back into the
workforce year and then and we alsovote, and you also vote on who
the fuck it runs this bitch.So you know, so we don't have
dumb ass, fucking executives who stillthink it's okay to call women doll or
babe or sweetheart and they're not relatedto them or fucking them in any way.

(58:38):
Yeah, sorry, I continue,just one last thing about how voice
actors continue to get fucked the I'mnot sure if you saw it, but
I just got Mortal Kombat one.They have a character and Mortal Kombat one
called Kwan Chi, and the voiceactor who also did the mocap, I'm
pretty sure for all of his movesdidn't get paid, at least not for

(59:00):
his voice acting work. And Iknow people are gonna, I know people
are gonna say, well, hey, he signed the contract, he knew
what he was gonna get, truetrue golf. However, however, the
fact that we are in a timeand day where somebody is literally part of
the fucking campaign. Because mind you, he's a DLC character if you want

(59:21):
to play as him, but he'spart of the fucking campaign. And I'm
like, he's an actual character whohas lines, who continues the story.
He probably did the motion capture aswell, and he got paid. Fuck
awe. That's craziness. And thenon top of that last little tangent,
but his character himself is being soldfor eight dollars outside of the season pass,

(59:45):
and I'm like, yo, theamount of people who brought just the
DLC character, just him, thatprofit itself should be going to him,
even if it's like two bucks perse, because fucking JK. Simmons is
voicing Omni Man and I know thatnigga got paid well that I mean Also

(01:00:05):
JK Simmons probably had the had thefucking union, he had a union deal
probably probably. It's also probably whyAnthony Starr, the guy who does Homelander,
isn't gonna voice Homelander in m Kone. So but John Cena is,
and I know he got paid too. Yeah, It's just it's it's

(01:00:28):
it's frustrating. It's frustrating because likeI, you know, I myself,
I'm ann, I'm a software developer, right, my industry is by no
means protected by any type of unionanywhere, like the banks. Like if
I IF, I I feel likewhen I was working at JP IF I
had mentioned the idea of hey,maybe we should start at union so we
have like better working hours, bettertreatment, better pay, all that stuff,

(01:00:50):
I would be I would I wouldbe black bagged and brought behind the
building and shot. Yep, becausebecause like you know, the the you
know, you know, like theidea of like like just it's just rich
people hate unions because it beings.They're not able to exploit workers the way
they want to. And that's whymy position on unions have has always been

(01:01:15):
I respect them highly and for fieldslike fucking computer web development or fucking acting,
you need a union. But whenI was a fucking sixteen year old
worker and most of my paycheck wasgoing to a union, I was never
going to see the benefits from That'swhen I was like, fuck unions,

(01:01:36):
what the fuck? Yeah, it'sespecially an ACME, Like the problem is
ACME is the problem is ACME inparticular where you worked is a captive union.
Yeah, that's obviously I know that'sdifference now, yeah, yeah,
and then and then that's what Iremember, Like honestly, it took me
like a year like like that's ahuge difference between like now in a year

(01:01:58):
ago. Well, I always willhave the position of if you want,
if you think, if you're luckyenough right to have a manager or a
boss or a you know, authoritythat you feel isn't going to fuck you
over. Then I feel like youshould be able to opt out of paying

(01:02:21):
union dues because that's your choice howshit goes down. I feel like,
you know, legally you can stillsue them or the business or what the
fuck ever, but for the shortterm gain sometimes that is better than the
long term possibility of what if shitgoes wrong? And absolutely, and the
only thing I'd say in response tothat is, just like, you know,

(01:02:45):
because that's obstensibly right to work,you know, legislation, every place
that has right to work lass implementedsees a huge decline in union membership in
union and union and unionization across thestate. And that's not because people are

(01:03:07):
independently individually choosing not to it's becauseit becomes those right to work things make
like make it more difficult because becausethere aren't roles in place that you either
work for a union shop or youwork for a non usion shop, like
you can't like because you know,things are they the the there aren't laws

(01:03:29):
enforcing that anymore. It just becomeseasier and easier to sort of get rid
of the union workers. And youknow, once they lose their job in
the field, they're like depending onthe field and depending on the union,
you know, they're like a lot. Like. The problem is that because
unionship has like has like condensed towhat the fuck it is and had so

(01:03:51):
bad, one of the things thatwill happen is is that, for example,
most of the men in my familyon my father's side there part of
the Boilermakers union, I think,and because their members of the boilers Making
union great, you know, theycan they they say their union up,
like, hey, my job's contractsended, I need a new job.

(01:04:14):
They're like, great, uh,we we talk to a contact they need
somebody over so and so it's aboutthirty minutes away, and you're like,
bet, I'll start going there.The problem is is that because union membership
and unions broadly have been you know, actively attacked and nuked into the ground
since Reagan, since since the Reaganadministration, a lot of people in those

(01:04:41):
areas they because like you know,individual union houses aren't large enough now,
right, What ends up happening isthat they end up like becoming like incorporating
with like unions other union houses thatare further and further away, so you
know, to keep power right,to keep like, to keep membership like
at a at a critical mass.And so what ends up happening is that

(01:05:02):
if you in Saint Mary's County,Maryland, say hey, I lost my
job and I need a new one, They're like, great, let me
call my guy a guy and seewhat I can figure it out. All
right, Hey, guess what Ijust talked to my guy. I got
a job for you starting on Mondayin Brooklyn, New York, which is

(01:05:24):
approximately a five and a half hourdrive one way from Saint Mary's County,
Maryland. Yep. And that's howyou say, get you yeah, so
so so more unionization and more uhand and more in in in larger unionization

(01:05:45):
across the board uh and and inthe in in unions, having more you
know, membership and power means thatyou know, the benefits of a union
are more easily accessible to you whereveryou are. And the other cool thing
is if your unionship, if thatif you're not dealing with that bullshit,
and you do want to move toNew York for whatever reason, you can

(01:06:06):
call and say, hey, Iam looking to move to such and so
I'm trying to get to I'm tryingto go to such and such are there
any openings for like do you guysneed a journeyman with this level of experience
and that they can be yes orno, and if they're yes, great,
like like let me know the contractoutside this, like mail me the
paperwork and I'll be there. I'llbe there next Monday after next. You

(01:06:30):
know, it's it is. Beinga part of a union is so much
more than just work. It's alsolike they have union halls. They have
like where they have where you goafter work and hang out with people and
talk about and talk about stuff,and it's a community thing. It is
a it's also a third space,you know. I know, I don't
know if you're a part of theI don't know if you're if you've got

(01:06:53):
your membership to the Screen Actors Guildyet, But you know, once they
do, like what when you do, like you be able to like go
to you can probably go find whereyour union hall is and network with other
people. It's a huge thing andand you know, it's it's it's unfortunate.

(01:07:15):
Why did oh you have something tosay, I'm sorry my bead.
No that's the Oh yeah, no, that's not almost me that's the that's
the pause, that's the tell methe yeah, just because I gotta pool.
I gotta I gotta take a poolpool and I can't do it on
camera. All right, then holdon, let me pause this ship and

(01:07:38):
then go ship and come back.I gotta piss anyways, and then we'll
keep going. Let's finish it becauseno, Ellie and Ellen are going to
be here soon. Okay, fairenough. Yeah, And it's been in
at least an hour, so wedid our obligation. We made it through
another week. Last thing, Iwant to last thing. I want to
leave you with how many liberal actorsand writers how to go to their conservative

(01:08:01):
dads and talk about unions, Andhow many of those fathers must have got
a fucking heart on instantly and waslike, what you want to talk about
unions? I'll talk about unions offfucking day. See, I don't see
you gotta u. Conservative isn't theword I would use if you're going to
it's the word you were thinking wasrural, sure, sure, but conserva

(01:08:24):
but conservative. But people who identifyas conservative do not like unions. The
people that no, conservative politicians don'tlike unions. Conservative voters love unions those
are the ones who at least eightynineties unions. It depends. And the
reason why I say it depends isbecause there's different types of conservatives, right,

(01:08:50):
Like you have like your rural youknow, your working class, like
like laborer types who like are essensiblypro union and all that shit whatever,
or the onboard five whatever. Thenyou have you know your Jan six types,
right. And when I say theJan six types, I'm not talking

(01:09:11):
about their lunatic bullshit. I'm talkingabout the types of people that could go
to a rally at one pm ona Tuesday in DC. These aren't people
that are working, you know thatthat have to go to work. These
are your white collar workers. Theseare your uh uh car dealership owners,

(01:09:39):
These are your boot these are yoursuburbanites. Those people they do not like
unions. Those people do not likeunions, and and and so the umbrance
I take with conservative when you ifyou use a conservative, is because it's
because conservatism, obstensibly as ideology,does not like collective action and collectivism that

(01:10:05):
unions provide. There So there there'ssome gonna be some like other world,
working class people that gotta I gottafine you you you can go I'll do

here for the sign off. Allright, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you
