  Speaker 1: Hey guys, Tommy Vitor here. I'm hosting a new podcast
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: called World Corrupt with my friend Roger Bennett from the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Men in Blazers podcast. Soccer is a game that is
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: often called the world's most important, least important thing. Yet
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: November's World Cup will force fans to confront and grapple
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: with the complexities of the tournament.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It was awarded via corruption and built.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: With atrocious labor practices that have left reported 6,500 migrant
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: workers dead. Each week on World Corrupt, Roger and I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: will explore what it means to be a fan and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: responsible citizen of the world while watching the world's most
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: popular sporting event. New episodes of World Corrupt drop each
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Saturday in the Pod Save the World feed.

  Speaker 3: Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Jon Favreau.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I'm Jon Lovett. I'm Tommy Vitor.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Here it is, our last episode of the decade. Happy
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: New Year. Yeah. Happy New Year. Happy New Decade. I
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: don't like the way that sounds. It's a lot. It's
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: a lot. So we figured for this, since we only
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: have two days left here in the year and the decade,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: we would do our now annual New Year's resolution pod
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: that we do every year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: But this year, but this year is a twist.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: There is a twist, but we'll tell you about it
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: right after these housekeeping items that we have. You got
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to keep them listening, love it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: No, I get it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: That's what we do here in the podcast industry.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: We wanted to make sure that Pod Save America and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Crooked Media listeners understand just how much of an impact
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you've had over the last couple years, so we compiled
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: an impact report.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's very on the nose.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: That shows just that. Go to crooked.com slash impact to
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: see The report titled, Is That Hope I Feel?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Ripped right from the Whataday headlines. And get inspired before
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: we head into 2020. Check out. It's a great report.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And it's all thanks to you. Everyone who has donated, volunteered,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: knocked on doors. All the wonderful things you guys have done. So,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: thank you. And go check that out. And celebrate yourself.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That's what it's for. Also, The Wilderness 2 is coming.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Season 2 of The Wilderness. We'll be sharing more details
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: about Season 2 of The Wilderness. very soon. Get ready
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: for that. But in the meantime, you can catch up
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: on season one wherever you listen to podcasts.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: John, question. Are we still in the wilderness?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: We're sort of, there's like a lot of trees everywhere.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: So I can't see the field? No, we can sort
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: of see maybe the right direction. It's just a question
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: if we can get there. Not guaranteed.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: That's daunting.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: No clear path, though. It's not like there's a well-trod path.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: As we know from last week's Democratic debate, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Has it happened yet? We're recording this before.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: How about that debate?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Can you believe what happened there?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: You believe that he said that to her?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: That was unbelievable. When Buttigieg had that speech. And then
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: he dropped out right on stage, that candidate.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I think it was pretty inappropriate for Michael Bloomberg to
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: buy the network mid-debate.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Okay. So this year, for this year's resolution podcast, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: last year we had our resolutions and then we had
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: different people around the Crooked Media Network. This year we decided...
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Why not ask the Democratic candidates themselves for some resolutions?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: These people don't say no.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: We can get them. They're gettable. So our fantastic producers
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: went out to the Democratic candidates, asked them for resolutions,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and we're going to play them now. This is the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: first time we're hearing them.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: We're hearing them live. We have never heard these before.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, Jordan tells us Cory Booker is up first for
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: his New Year's resolution. All right, Kyle, let's play it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Pod Save America, so happy that you've asked me about
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: my New Year's resolutions. I'm going to skip over the
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: ones that have to deal with me getting into better
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: physical shape, for crying out loud, and maybe do the
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: one that is actually really very much at the center
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: of my purpose in the next year. Look, Gandhi said
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: we've all got to be the change we want to
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: see in the world, and we often forget about how
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: the personal decisions we make often enable injustice. And I
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: made a decision last year to be more conscious with
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: my consumer choices that I'm making, especially someone that has
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: more relative privilege in terms of my purchasing power, that
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I decided to just start thinking a lot about my
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: food choices and the sources of my food as someone
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: who's big on regenerative agriculture and empowering people who create
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: our food, not these multinational corporations who are doing such
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: harm through CAFOs and other industrial agriculture, I've done a
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: good job of changing that. But, uh, this year, uh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: I'm going to focus down more. One of my resolutions
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: is to focus on fashion. Fast fashion is doing such
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: a damage to our environment. It's oppressing and exploiting workers and, uh,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: more putting chemicals, uh, into our environment and, and, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: things that just do not attune.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: With a lot of my value.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: So I'm just going to be a lot more conscious about, uh, my,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: my consumer choices around clothing, uh, and how, um, those
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: choices either empower the values that I want to see
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: in this world or do things to continue, I think,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: systems that are unsustainable and that actually hurt people. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: that's one of my many New Year's resolutions. There are
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: other personal ones dealing with folks like Rosario, my girlfriend,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: and folks like my own health as a middle-aged black
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: guy who has horrible health outcomes for my demographic. but
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: I hope that I can challenge everybody with your New
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Year's resolutions to be more conscious in the choices you're making,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: especially those that you're making with your dollar. We vote
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: during election time, but every day that we spend money,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: we are actually voting with our dollars as well and
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: supporting systems one way or the other. I hope that
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: we all do more this year to support systems that
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: make this world more environmentally sustainable, more healthily, and more
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: about justice.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Wow. Wow. Listen, the cool thing about Cory Booker's news
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: resolution for this year is that also midway through became
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: his resolution for the next year.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I want Senator Booker to know that we think he
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: has a rockin' bod. For those of you who don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know what CAFOs are, those are concentrated animal feeding operations,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: so he doesn't like those disgusting hoglots and things.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Really learned something. Got a Gandhi reference, which is very
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Cory Booker. Those are actionable items, which is what I appreciate.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: He's already vegan.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Thank you for expanding our horizons on a couple things,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Cory Booker. I didn't even think about clothing choices as
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a resolution. Has he heard of Everlane? I think Everlane
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is good. The purchasing power thing is a good point.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: What else did he... There was a lot there. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: wrote down.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: These are my notes.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Great body, Gandhi, veganism, CAFOs, consumer choices around clothing, Rosario, health,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: purchasing power.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: You nailed it. You nailed it. I took notes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Senator Cory Booker, for giving us the most
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Senator Cory Booker news resolution possible.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you to the Booker stans. For sure. Thank you
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to Adisu.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: That's all I got.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, next resolution comes from Julian Castro.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: To all the friends of the pod out there, so
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: I am terrible about New Year's resolutions. Half the time,
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I don't make any of them. When I do make them,
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: like I bet a lot of folks out there I
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: break them by the time February comes around. But this year,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: I have two New Year's resolutions. Number one, I need
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: to eat better. I'm on the road all the time.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: You can imagine, I'm eating a lot of junk food.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: And so I want to eat better. And then maybe
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: more importantly, I want to have an opportunity to spend
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: more time with my family, to carve out that time.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: That's tough because we're always out there on the road,
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: traveling a lot. But especially during this season of Thanksgiving,
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: we're reminded of how important it is to nurture those
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: relationships with the people that you really love and to
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: spend time, especially with your family. And so I hope
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: to find that time, even as we go through a
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: very hectic and crazy schedule during this 2020 presidential campaign.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: That was nice.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Very wholesome.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: What a nice resolution.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: What has the campaign trail done to these extremely fit individuals?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Julian Castro looks great. Cory Booker played football at Stanford.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: He's a better athlete than any of us combined. Spend
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: more time with your family.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The family thing is going to be tough while the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: campaign is going.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Combined.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: That's true. It's a good goal.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Is Cory Booker a better athlete than us combined?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I would say yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I mean combined?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I'm a pretty bad athlete.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I know, but I'm just saying, where are you putting it?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: One versus three. I don't care what sport it is.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I've never played.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: You're betting on Cory Booker?
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Tommy played high school football. We got one high school
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: football player.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: My sophomore year of college, I lived in a dorm
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: with a bunch of football players.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: That counts. That's close.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: It was like, um, hey. Cory Booker, like, saw action.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He, like, got playing time at Stanford.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we're talking about Julian Castro. Yeah, anyway, sorry. He's
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: not terrible at New Year's Eve resolutions. Eating better is
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a good one.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: More time with your family.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: It's great.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Julian Castro.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: We got Mayor Pete.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I've heard this one.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I've heard this one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: My New Year's resolution is, uh, I'm going to try yoga.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get into yoga.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Mayor Pete's going to try yoga, everybody.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That was so concise.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Well, we really put him on the spot during the
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Love It or Leave It recording, and he did great.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Can I think he'll do hot yoga?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I tried to do a little hot yoga a couple
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: years ago. I don't like it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I've never done yoga. Maybe my resolution will be like Pete's.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's stretching while people around you fart. Is it not?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: What about that is wrong?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: What about that's wrong? What about that's wrong? What about
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: that's wrong?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, look out, Mayor Pete.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: All right, well, thank you, Mayor Pete. Thank you, Mayor Pete.
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: Yoga.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mayor Pete. Yoga. Oh, now we're clapping. Some
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: people get claps. We're going to grade them all afterwards.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: We're going to declare the winner of the New Year's
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: resolution primary.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: My New Year's resolution is to rank people more often.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. We got Tom Steyer.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Hey, friends of the pod, it's Tom Steyer. The end
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: of the year is coming, and that means so is
• 10:24

  Speaker 5: the people, always. Protect God's planet, always. Oh, and have

  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you, Tom Steyer.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I like the specificity of get into the woods.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like Tom Steyer had been working on that
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: for a while.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I liked it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: It was like a little poem.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: You guys didn't know. He put a thousand points behind
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that resolution.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: It's up on Des Moines TV.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: No, that was a nice resolution. It was nice.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I really like Tom Steyer.

  Speaker 1: I had try your hardest, love the people around you,
• 11:11

  Speaker 3: Try your hardest. Protect God's planet. God's planet.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: God's planet.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And get into the woods.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Get Into Those Woods.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Is that a movie?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Into the Woods. It's a Sondheim musical.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, who we got next? Elizabeth Warren. Here we go.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Here we go. Let's get some structural change in these resolutions.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Big structural res.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: Elizabeth Warren, friend of the pod here, chiming in with
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: my New Year's resolutions for 2020. Number one is to
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: teach Bailey not to jump up on people, especially on
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: our own supporters. Second, is to up my average daily
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: step count from 6.6 miles to hit the big 7-0.
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: And third, it's not Donald Trump out of the White House.
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: Happy New Year and pod save America.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: That was nice. It's funny to imagine.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: The upping her step count, that was very Kate McKinnon
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: playing Elizabeth Warren on Saturday. From 6.3 to 7 miles.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: She's walking 7 miles a day.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: A lot of walking. What was her first one?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Keep Bailey from jumping up on people.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I didn't understand who was jumping on people.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other one should be get a better phone
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to record these things next time. But as a dog owner, look,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: when we first got Luca, I remember telling myself how
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: much we were going to train her. And I'm lucky
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: she weighs 25 pounds because when she leaps out of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the air at people she cares about and kicks them.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It would be less cute probably. Yeah, Luca doesn't jump
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on people. She literally, all four paws are off the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: ground and she jumps up.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I love it. It's my favorite part about Luca. It
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: takes orbit. Get Donald Trump out of the White House.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised that no one else used that one. Guys.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: The next one is from Vice President, former Vice President
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: First time he'll be on the pod.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: This isn't real. No malarkey.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, I actually, I fell for it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I did too.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I thought you got him, but no.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Jordan. Oh, no malarkey.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Wait, what did he say?
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: One more time. No malarkey.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I just love hearing it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: That's his resolution. No malarkey 2020.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Get on the fucking pod, Joe.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Look, we're getting, we might be getting a little closer.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I just want to let you guys know. Might be
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: getting a little closer to Joe Biden on the pod.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: We have made contact.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: No malarkey.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Could that be a resolution?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: It means I'm not going to put up with any guff,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: any sass talk.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: No malarkey means I'm going to come on Pod Save America.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: That's what I took it to mean.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: You say, like, make contact, like the Vulcans have landed,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: you know? Like, he's, like, hard to get to.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: We work with these people. Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: He's trying to cut down on molasses intake.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Molasses.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It's like an old-timey thing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: And we're still, you know.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I'm drinking too much sarsaparilla.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: So those are all the candidates who responded. Should we
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: do ours? Yeah. Should we end with ours? Who would
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: like to go first? Should we check in on our
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: last year's resolution?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Do we have the ability to do that?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Let's do that at the end. Okay, we'll do it
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: at the end. We'll do it at the end.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: My first resolution is to not get upset when I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: don't follow through with any of my resolutions.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: That's a really good resolution, and I think it's important
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: because I think sometimes people think, oh, I only did
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: my news resolution from January to March or something, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: then Everyone's like, oh, you failed in your resolution. But really,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: if you do that every year, over the course of
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: your life, about a third of your life, you try
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: to be better, and that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: You improved yourself for a big chunk of your life.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: So don't feel bad.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Tommy?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Do you have another one? I got a bunch. You
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: want to just keep going around? Okay.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You know that little notification that comes through on your
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: phone on Sundays that says you've spent X number of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: hours on your phone this week?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I need that guy to go down.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: What's yours at?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Over four hours. I need that thing to go down.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Yours is over four hours? Oh, I will not share mine.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: What is it? Definitely over four. Come on, share it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: It's up to six or seven.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Shit, that's a lot more.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I need that bad boy to go down a quarter,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and I want.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I almost hit five, and I panicked.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Mine was so high that I turned it off.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Problem solved.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I think that might entail something you've been good at doing, Levitt,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: which is periodically deleting the Twitter app, because I've just...
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: More and more I've come to realize how little information
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gleaning from it compared to the amount of annoyance
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: at reading opinions from people I don't want to hear
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: them from.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: The other day we had a very busy day. where
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: we were just sort of chain smoking some meetings.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Which is a great term that Lovett has come up with.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Now we use it all over the office. Even though
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: there's no smokers here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: No smokers. No smoking. And then we went to the
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: protest against Donald Trump, because that's the side we're on.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: And then... And then I went right to dinner.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: And you're welcome because we did it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: And then I went right to dinner and Ronan and
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I do not use our phones at dinner. It's a
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: strict policy. And then I got home. Yeah, we don't.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Good for you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: And we may, we have a, we have a, you
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: can say like, should we have a phone time? Should
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: we have phone time?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I bet there's an extra bathroom break that gets in
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: there just to sprint.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: You got to check. Well, listen, the hands start to shake.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: And then I got home and I realized I haven't
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: looked at my phone all day. I was jonesing for it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I just needed that sweet, sweet 30 minutes just to
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: kind of. Cruise my menchies.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Coincidentally, this is also how Lovett prepares for Pate of America.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Hey, a lot of people are saying really nice things
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: about me in the news.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: You got any more, Tom?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I want to, this came up today. I want to don't,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you're going to donate money to candidates, I want
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to do it earlier. And I want to do it
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: until it hurts a little bit. Because if you give money,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the earlier you give money to a candidate, if you're
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: planning to give money to a candidate, the more useful
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it actually is.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: The further that dollar stretches. So that's just a thing
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: for everyone to know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: That's great. John?
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I have two resolutions. One has subsections. My main first resolution,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: as always, as Cory Booker said, is always a kind of.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Avoid capos. Avoid capos.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: No, well, obviously, I'd like to eat more humanely. But
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: for me, here's how I'm thinking about my diet resolution
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: this year, which I make every year. Noom? Noom, I'll
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: use Noom.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: The code is crooked.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: But I want to have a sustainable model for eating
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: food such that I don't feel guilty about what I'm eating.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: And so for me, what has worked in the past
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: is clean, good eating decisions most of the week, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: then two absolutely fucked up balls to the wall, no
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: holds barred, no rules, no society, no cameras, no one
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: watching dinners. I get two of those a week and
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: then I can eat clean the rest of the week.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I feel really good. And because I because I think
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: one of the hardest parts about cameras, because I think
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: sometimes one of the worst parts about.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Just in a closet somewhere.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I do think like if like we are surrounded
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: by so much abundance that it makes it really hard
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to not feel guilty about the things that we're consuming.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: And I realize that if I'm not eating correct, well,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I just feel bad all the time, even when I'm
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: eating things I want, don't want. And so I want
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: to get the bad feelings away from the food.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you what I ate for breakfast?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: The wall of a gingerbread house.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Again?
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: It was the roof.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: You've just been eating one wall per day?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: John, that was a snack. It was a different gingerbread house.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: So that was my first resolution. I will say that
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: today for lunch I did have a just a classic lunch,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: a giant pole of spaghetti bolognese.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: From a food truck. From a food truck, which I-
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Went downstairs to the food truck, slapped some spaghetti on
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: my plate. It is noon.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Fully need to book a nap later today. So anyway,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: that was my first resolution. My second resolution is just
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: something I'm trying to keep in mind, and I just,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I want to be in work, in life, I just
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: want to, these three things I want to always be
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: thinking about. I want to be positive. I want to
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: be generous and I want to be disciplined. And I just,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: just a little more positivity, a little more generosity and
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: a little more discipline, uh, will go a long way
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: to making me someone other people will want to be around.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: That's very nice. It's a very nice one. It's very nice.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: It's already started.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here with you now. Stay a
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: couple more minutes. Um, mine is also like one bigger
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: resolution with a few subcategories. Uh, So it's 2020. It's
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: going to be– this is the election year. We're going
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: to be paying attention to politics nonstop. I cannot spend
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: all of my day and all of my night paying
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: attention to politics, reading about politics, looking on Twitter, being
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: on my phone. So I know everyone says things like, oh,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I want to read more. I am setting a goal
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: for myself of one book per month. I think that is,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a lot or not because
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I haven't read in years.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Well, John, something you'll discover over time. Some books are
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: longer than others. Something to think about when you're choosing
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: your book.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: So I have started, I have started, um, The first
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Harry Potter book, Sorcerer's Stone, finally. That's a nice world
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: to escape to. You'll never regret it. And I started it,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: and I have it on my iPad. And I noticed
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: that now on the iPad, it will say, like a
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: little pop-up comes, and it says, you've reached a goal
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of an hour of reading today, or something like that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So you can set how much you read on, apparently,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't know this. Gamify it, huh?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: It's like Elizabeth Warren and her steps.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try to do this. So for all
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: of you out there that have recommendations for books, I'm
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: taking them. I know Dan Pfeiffer always has great recommendations.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Aaron Ryan tweeted out some the other day, I thought.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: This fucking guy.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I got one for you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: You signed up for 12 books. How many recommendations are
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: you going to get?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Give me a long list. I will call it down
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: to 12.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I got a great rec for you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Hannah got me a Kindle for Christmas. And when I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: turned it on, I had had another one earlier, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: there were books just sort of preloaded that I guess
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I just bought at some point and didn't realize. There's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a book called The Spy and the Traitor by Ben McIntyre.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: It's about the... It's an incredible Cold.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: War spy story about this Russian KGB double agent.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: That comes to the good guy side, maybe.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Spoilers.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I said maybe.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Okay. It could be twists.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It could be turns. I'm not even done with the book.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: He said maybe. He did say maybe.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Tommy.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: It's a good book.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: All right. So the first thing I'm going to do
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: is I got to read to get my mind off it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And then I'm just so anxious all the time. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: think that I have to start meditation. I've never done
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: any kind of meditating. I thought you were saying something else. Well, yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to try, you know, Emily's been trying
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: to get me to do this. She's been listening. You know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the talk space. Calm.com, you mean? Calm.com.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I keep my meditation in a little bottle of pills
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: by my bed. That's where I keep my meditation.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I am going to try to do just a little
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: bit of meditation. That's good. Wow. And see if it works. Yeah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: And so that's it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I want to go to more movies in the theater.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: Great.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I pick. More I pick.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: That's great, movies in the theater.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: That's so fun.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Should we talk about how we did for our New
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Year's resolutions for last year? Tommy, you were Barry's this morning,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Did you work out less and eat worse, you piece
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: of shit?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Tommy's in the best shape of his life. You know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I took a lot of heat for this one. I
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: was trying to say something in kind of a trolly way,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and achievement unlocked.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: How did this one go? I plan to either keep
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: up with Slack more or remove myself from Slack. It's
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: one or the other.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I think what's current, the current lukewarm Slack use that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I'm offering is terrible.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Well, why don't we just go ahead and renew that
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: subscription for next year on that resolution. I've been better-ish.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I think people have learned not to rely on me.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: People have worked around it, I think, mostly.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Because I think the secret to crooked media is growth.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Any others on that list, Tommy?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I only wrote down that one. I thought that was
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: a very funny one.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Mine was to get in fewer Twitter fights. And I
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: have succeeded. You've achieved. I have succeeded. I haven't succeeded
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: in using Twitter less at all. Although this is what's happened.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: So now I don't get in the Twitter fight. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: try to stop myself. I stay out of my mentions
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: a lot more. I get in fewer Twitter fights. But
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: instead now, when I see an opinion that is garbage
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: or something that really pisses me off, what I do
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: is I instantly copy-paste that to a text to you
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: guys or other people. And so then I become angry
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: with people I know. Is that what happened with Jake
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Sherman on Twitter? Was that public? I think that was
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a disagreement more than a fight. And then Playbook led
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: with something that was garbage the other day about how
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: it's horrible for Democrats politically for impeaching the president. And
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: it didn't even have the Democratic point of view. It
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: just had the Republican point of view. And I thought
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: that that was bad. And so I said so on
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Twitter to Jake. And Jake, to his credit, emailed me
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and said, would you like to just write your point
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: of view and we'll put it in playbook tomorrow. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I said, thank you for being constructive about this.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He's really nice.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: So we didn't have to, so we didn't have to yell. Yeah, exactly.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Now it should change the whole course of history.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Good for you. One voice can change a room.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: But I appreciate, I appreciate our friends at Politico for that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I would say, I think there's worth sort of one
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: sort of like thinking ahead about resolutions. I'm just sort of,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: you know, we've been at Crooked, we've been meeting a
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: lot about next year, political goals, the changing of how
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: the company's been growing and, And how hard a year
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: is going to be. And it has left me just
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: sort of thinking a bit about what 2020 is actually
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: going to feel like and how hard it's going to be.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: And so it's going to suck and it's going to
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: be really exhausting and tiring. And I just think it's
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: worth as we head into this break to just give
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: ourselves a break to step back from the news. Like,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I have no doubt that Donald Trump on Christmas is
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: going to tweet a picture of like Nancy Pelosi's head
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: on a pig or something insane. You know, it's not
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: like he's going to tweet on Christmas. Though we have
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: many disagreements, we're all Americans, and I hope everyone has
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: a moment to cherish their family and loved one, even
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: those with whom I disagree. Speaker Pelosi, Senator Schumer, have
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: a wonderful holiday. No, I don't think that's likely.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: So I think, you know, stepping away from that, I
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: think is important. I'm going to take a break. I
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: think everybody should try to take a step back and
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: then just go into 2020 and just knowing with eyes
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: open how hard a year it's going to be and
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: that there's a lot of people who are going to
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: want to make it harder to to get people to
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: give up, to get people to stop caring. And we
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: just have to keep our eyes on the, you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: we've been working, like the last three years have been
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: so long and so grueling and so tough, but all
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: of that has to be sort of fuel for what
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: we do next year.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: That's all. Yeah. And I, and I would just add
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: that breaks are important and good. And when you can't
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: take breaks, because a lot of the years is going
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: to be a lot of hard work, make sure that
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: there is some joy and fun in all of this
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: politics and organizing and knocking on doors. And, As anxious
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: as we're all going to be, it's true. Like when
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: you get together with a group of people and you
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: go knocking on doors and you're part of a campaign
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: or you're part of a volunteer group or something like that,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: you can make really great friendships and you can have
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun. And it's important to like, you know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: have that next year because every day can't be, oh
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: my God, oh my God, oh my God, we're getting
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: closer to November. And it's the, you know, you just,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: you have to have something with it too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I want to learn how to cook three things.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I just took it through my shitty list.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I learned to cook my first thing last month.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Eggs.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: John, unbelievable.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I can't tell if you're kidding.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, remember last year we talked about this and I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: was getting Dunkin' Donuts every morning.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, progress.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: And now I'm making myself eggs and bacon every morning.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: This time last year I was asking you if you'd
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: figured out how to use the coffee maker.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Right, and now I've figured out coffee. I'm making myself coffee.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I don't use the K-Cups.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: That's good.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: That's really good. What I realize is.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: You don't need to know. For those looking at home,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: John either winked or had a stroke.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: You don't need to learn how to cook a whole cookbook, right?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: We're creatures of habit.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: You need like three things that you do well. You're
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: set for life.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Last Christmas break, I made a Yule log. There's a
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: French word for it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: How do you do that?
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: People always say it's like bouche Noël maybe. That sounds wrong. Again,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: can't learn languages, no retention of them.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Bouche Noël. I don't think that's what it is.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, bouche Noël. Is that what it is?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I can't know how to pronounce it. And it was
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: so fun. And so this year I got to figure
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: out something else because not only did it taste delicious,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I got so many likes and faves. So just thinking
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: through like what the perfect thing to cook is that
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: would be both tasty. Yes, I made that. I made a.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Haven't you seen Lovett's? Lovett was it with Ronan and
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: he like made a whole. It was so much fun.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: It went viral.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Did you roll it like that?
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: It's a viral log.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: That's really impressive. Well, I've been watching the Great British
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Bake Off. Did you get a handshake? I did. Thank you. Yes,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Paul Hollywood did come up to Connecticut in a Lamborghini
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: and give me a handshake.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Did you bring those eyes?
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, man.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Put those in a pot, you know?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: On that note, anyone else have any kind of resolution-y
• 28:00
