  Speaker 5: It's a list of nonsense things that we just accept.
• 0:20
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Now I'm curious to find out if I in fact
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: accept these things.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: It says absolutely bonkers things that we've decided to accept
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: as normal in our society.
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Sure, bonkers is a strong word.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll be honest about it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Okay, here we go.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: First of all, Number one on the list, commercials everywhere. Yeah,
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: I felt this so hard. On my last road trip.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: We were at every gas station now has.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: An ad blaring in your ear.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: I can't even have two minutes just to stand there
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: in silence and enjoy not driving without some bs trying
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: to sell me something.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'll honestly, these things like that continually bother me. Yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know it's the way I don't accept them. I mean,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have any choice, but they're there, But they're
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they're they're just in your in your face all the time.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I was just thinking last night, we have a smart
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: TV that the second you turn it on. Is just
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: a rotating banner of ads, you know, it programmed into
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the TV itself. Wow, and some of the audio mixing
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: is terrible, so it'll I'm worried it'll blow out the
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: speakers on our TV.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Shrink Flation okay, paying the same price for less product
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: and companies pretending we won't notice that is bonkers. Subscriptions
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: for everything. Remember the time that BMW tried to introduce
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: a heat seat. Heated seat subscription. But yeah, think about it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Subscriptions for everything. You don't just buy a It's like
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: these computer programs here.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We don't own these.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: No, we have to subscribe, subscribe, subscribe.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: But yeah, let's see health insurance tied to work.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this list sounds pretty woke to me from
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the way you describing it gets.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Pretty well toward the end health insurance period. What is
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: it that they actually provide? They're like the mob, just
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: taking their cut.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Well, I got a few buys medians health insurance.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, you need health insurance. Companies are pretty awful,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: but you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Do need some sort of Yeah, I would the government, Yeah, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you would think it wouldn't be a for profit business
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: though that's.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Probably their point.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, each company has its own app. What the hell
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: is going on? My smartphone doesn't have that much screen space.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just keep it on a browser.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: I recently thrifted a cooking thermometer for soap making. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: needed to download the app to use the thermometer.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Stuff like that drives me insane. I become my dad.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I just yell at the.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Here's one that I've been shouting about. Uh huh, not
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: owning anything anymore. Buying movies on your Internet box but
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: losing them if you move, paying for a series, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: letting them disappear from the service without any reason. That
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: ties into the subscription thing, Like you're not owning anything exactly.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I mean leasing your car, your phones. You're probably maybe
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: even doing that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: With right your homes.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I have a whole you know, video game catalog in Steam,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: who arguably do it the best. But if they just
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: went down one day, I wouldn't own the video game
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: account I've had for fifteen years.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Like, well, it's like we wanted to watch Young Frankenstein. Yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: and I thought I had it saved on our hard
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: drive on the TV, but it went away. I have
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: the Blu Ray, so I grabbed that both of our
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Blu Ray players were broken.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Right, Oh my god.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Ah, now we could rent it for three ninety nine.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: But it was just at that point it just became
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: the principle of the thing in physical media.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Man, it's a big deal.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: You know. I don't know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I vacillate on that because it's like books. For instance,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I have too many books, books, book So I've started
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I've started putting stuff that I want to read on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a kindle, sure, because I have too damn many books.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And I like the books, I love them, but there's
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: just too much. It's too much.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Credit bureaus Okay, they're basically unregulated. You don't get a
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: choice when it comes to participating, and they have massive
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: data leaks with zero consequences.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, remember the huge what was it? Fiko had
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: to pay out a huge sentiment a couple of years
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: back because just they gave out your social security.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: No, this one's a little more light.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: One chicken wing split up and sold as too what
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: what like the drum and the a chicken? A chicken
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: wing has three segments, and yes, I'm going to nibble
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: on that tiny piece of meat off the wing tip.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's the elbow.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, I disagree.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: No, I agree. I like that because it's real. It
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: gets real crispy and you can just eat it, eat
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the bone.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Have you ever carved up wings yourself, taken the like
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: raw wing and cut it in the you have? Yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and you still agree with that statement.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It's a pain in the body.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Here's one. This confirms that the list as woke.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: A forty hour work week, there's no reason at all
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that it should be the standard. Thirty two hours is
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: more than enough most of the time.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see, I think we should have a four day
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: work week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Bad driving, road deaths and injuries. I was going to say,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: car culture. It's incredibly dangerous, incredibly expensive, and incredibly bad
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: for the planet.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone has just accepted that this is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: How we get around, and we'll design our cities around
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: them without caring about the impacts.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And it's like it's too late to do anything about it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I know that one's been going on for decades, though,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I feel like that one's a bit of a stretch
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: for the list.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Turning over our personal details, reading habits, subjects of interests,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and attention triggers to a bunch of emotionally stunted sociopaths
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: so they can monetize our behavior and become billionaires while
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: we watch cat videos and fight about politics with distant relatives.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: That's no way to talk about, mister Zuckerberg.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And here's here's a good one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: Being available at all times, whether it's for work or
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: just for people in your life. I miss going out
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: and just being gone for a few hours without people
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: texting or calling.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: You can do it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: That is a phone bad like type of comment, but
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: I agree with it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: We've hope you enjoyed another list with Radio from Hell
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: on X ninety six.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Now there's more on that list, but we're out of time.
