  SPEAKER_01: I pay attention to the higher forms of conversation.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_01: I don't pay attention to things like who Ella Langley is.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't listen to music that's coming out now.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: You're not an Ella fella.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not an Ella fella.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's a shame.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: Unless you're talking Ella Fitzgerald, then we could have a conversation for her.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yes.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Who doesn't love Ella Fitzgerald?
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I was loudly blasting,
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: it wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels, which is what brought about this.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: God made everything.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't make any sense.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: God literally is the progenitor of all of creation.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, that is actively sacrilegious is what that is.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: You're listening to the devil's music.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's about how married men should keep it in their pants.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not all the girl's fault when they go home with a girl at a bar.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: I Think It's Both.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: By the way, this is, she's just redoing a classic country song.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this isn't her song.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: If the girl knows the man is married, then there's equally their fault.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously,
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: obviously,
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: this is a song that is about a specific type of guy who goes to a honky tonk
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: and goes home with a girl.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And they're just saying, like, sometimes married men act like they're still single.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's the whole cheeky, like...
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: They're cads.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: I don't approve caddishness.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: You would agree with the whole song.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: The song is like, it's not all the girls' fault.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, God still made them.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: What's she saying?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Just stop.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Just stop.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Just stop.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Just stop.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm checking out.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: I have too much.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I have too much going on.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: We've only been doing this for two minutes and you're already done here.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sick of you after two minutes.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't done this for a while, so you got to like ease me back.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: I got to like ease back into dealing with you.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: How are you?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: How is life?
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: You're getting ready to go to Boston.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: You're gearing up, getting set.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: We have this old, so everyone in my family grew up.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: I can't sing.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: I sound like a cat being stepped on,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: but it's like,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: here we go to Boston,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: here we go to Boston,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: and I grew up saying that, and now I'm just saying it all the time.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: I've lost my mind.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Trot to Boston.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Trot to Lynn.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Watch out, little boy.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: You might fall in.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: It was a thing my mother used to do when I was growing up.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: She'd be sitting on her lap.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: She'd do that when you say fall in and drop you through the legs.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Ours was you'd sit.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: You know how you like bounce a kid on your knee?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: You do that and you do like, here we go to Boston.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go to Boston to have some phone.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then it's like.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: There's a whole thing.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm singing it now mentally, but I'm going to save you from it audibly.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: I think I've told you before.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't been to Boston since they completed the big dig, so it's been a very, very long time.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: I recall liking it.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: I was young.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: Boston's cool.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know that I'm like, oh, yeah, I want to spend the next four years of my life there.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like it.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: I am.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: really matter.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, when life sends you on little journeys sometimes.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I really love my husband, so I'm excited to chill with him for four years.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Boston was not the top of my list, but we will make it fun.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: I just, candidly, my brain is everywhere.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: It is mush.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't all that stable to start with.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's not as though I was some brilliant person before starting the moving process, but.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really know who I am or where I am right now,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: and I'm trying to figure out how to pack up two houses to fit into
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: a three-bedroom apartment.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: That is a lot.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Are you going to sell your townhouse?
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: It just occurred to me to ask, but you may not be going back to where you live right now.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think we'll be going back, which makes me really sad.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: So yes and no,
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: we will sell this townhouse,
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: but right now the market sucks and there's so many houses for sale in
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: the neighborhood that we're in and they're not selling.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: So for right now, it's like, it's just a different account.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Since we won't be assigned for like three or four years,
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: possibly longer, I'm fine just leaving it here and letting it accumulate value.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's just kind of a different- A different shaped bank account?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: No, that makes sense.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: It just occurred to me to ask.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I was curious.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: I really want to Airbnb it, but we're not allowed to in this area, so I might friend B&B it.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: What do you mean you're not allowed to in this area?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's metronistic rules.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's your property.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: You own it.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, you don't actually own your property.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: You have to lease your property from the government in the form of property taxes.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that Colorado claimed it's like a very libertarian liberal state.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: They're not like, yeah, that's their big thing.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, we're liberal.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: We're more libertarian.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: We're very like, you know, anybody can do anything they want, man.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: I take it this wasn't true.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: We used to have a really good...
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: We do not as much anymore.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: I will say Colorado is the best to register.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: So, well,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: the second or third best to register a business in
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: because we have really low corporate tax.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: But outside of that, we're basically full blown commie at this
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: point.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: Can't Airbnb a house, but you can smoke pot literally anywhere.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: Lovely.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: In some parts of Colorado, you can get it delivered.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: My husband and I were bemoaning that yesterday.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: We were being very, very lazy and didn't want to go out to the store to get a bottle of wine.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: And we were like, ah, I could really go for some Coors right now.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Or like, we just didn't want to go to the liquor store.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: how wild is it that in this state you can't get liquor door dashed,
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: but you can get pot sent to your house?
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's psychotic.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's insane.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: It really is.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: It sucks.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: You used to be able to door dash wine, but you're not allowed to anymore.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, what?
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: But I can get pot delivered.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: But what if it's an evening and you run out of port?
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's horrible.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: You suddenly don't have port.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Horrible.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I always have port.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: A nice fortified wine.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: I love,
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: there's a port drink that I actually really like that I wonder if you would like
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: with your new like aperitif, you know, obsession.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Except it's more of a cocktail, but it is really good.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: I just do port,
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: a white port and tonic,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: but you have to soak the port in like citrus slices and then you just put tonic
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: over it.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: It is so good.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: I think we have discussed,
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: and I believe you've seen, the mixed drink that I drink is rum and Coke.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: I will sometimes drink a screwdriver.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: I got Luke addicted to Cherry Coke Zeros.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm horrible.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm corrupting the youth of America.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, um...
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: I got him addicted to Cherry Coke Zeros and we put,
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: I bought some rye when I was in Tennessee and we did like Cherry Coke Zero with rye
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: and it was really good.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know about that.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: It was delicious.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: It was great in a Cherry Coke Zero, which is my absolute favorite.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: Drink your beer is fine.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: I have purchased it.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: I've drank it.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: I alternate between Diet Pepsi and Diet Mountain Dew.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: I like actual diet things, not the zero dupes.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: I posted this on Twitter a while ago discussing this,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: that the zeros are attempts to recreate the flavor profile of
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: the regular mainline product without sugar.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: I actually like the flavor profile of the diet.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: You like the taste of aspartame.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, probably.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's what it is.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you like that, which I don't dislike that.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: I switched to Coke Zeros, like, back when I worked in the Senate.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: I actually gave myself an ulcer.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: I used to drink so many of them.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: I survived on, like,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: Chili Cheese Frito Coke Zeros and Camel Turkish Silvers when I worked in the Senate,
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: and I fully gave myself an ulcer.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: I was skinny, though.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: I should go back to that.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was probably the stress that gave you the ulcer more, but, you know, that's...
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think any of those things, like, helped my stomach lining at all.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: I was really skinny, though.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: It was a great, great diet plan.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: Also, the stress probably helped with that.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: You can go back to work for government.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like fun.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't actually that stressed with that.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: I was driving a lot because I had all of the mountains.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I worked in the Senate, but in state in Colorado.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I was an area rep for basically all of the mountains.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: So I had like all the ski areas, all the EPA stuff, all the Forest Service stuff.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then I also did military affairs.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: So I was constantly driving like Down to Air Force Academy or out to Buckley.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I just drove, basically, for a living.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: That sounds like fun.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: You get to travel before you get paid to travel.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: No, it was so fun.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: It was the best job in my 20s.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I loved working for the Senate.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: I knew, I think I knew in my heart that the senator I worked for was going to retire
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: and I jumped ship before he made any announcement to us.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: And got out and then lobbied and Didn't get fat until then.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: I should go back to the Senate.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: Speaking of the Senate,
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: did you see Anthony Fauci is currently speaking before the Senate subcommittee
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: of some variety, Rand Paul's committee.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what specific committee because I wasn't paying attention.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: And he is just taking the Fifth Amendment on everything,
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: which is, you know, I don't know if you saw.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: I saw it just before we started here.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: Josh Hawley,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: a senator from wherever Josh Hawley is a senator from,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: asked him, what color is your tie, sir?
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: What color is the carpet in front of you?
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Just to have the comedic sight of
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: Anthony Fauci then saying,
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: on the advice of my lawyers, I've invoked my Fifth Amendment right to...
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: So it's the Homeland Security Committee,
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: which they wanted him to answer because they want to talk about the China link
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: and they want to talk about the lab and how it wasn't the wet market.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: Also, candidly, I could not care less about this.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Should Fauci have to account for all of this?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: Are Republicans going to get him to say anything?
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: And we're seeing that.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's all theater.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's all theater.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's all massive waste of time.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Republicans are just criminally addicted to doing absolutely nothing.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: We are watching affordability go out the window, all these things wrong.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: There are so many things that Republicans could actually take action on,
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: could actually work towards.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: And instead, we're doing this theater that does nothing.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: We're also not going to campaign on this, right?
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: We should be tying this...
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to have to go through another COVID again?
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Look at Fauci, who won't come to account for any of this.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: The Democrats pulled an entire thing over on the world.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: And we're just going to let it go because Republicans aren't going to ask.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: We're right before an election.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: This is a major issue.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Are they going to use it effectively?
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: No, they're just going to let it wither and die like everything that Republicans do.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: That is a little bit cynical.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: There's so many things that Republicans are doing so poorly right now
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: that they always do so poorly.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: They fail to ever hold anyone to account.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: So it's kind of like, why should I care?
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, strategically, I think it is.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: The Fauci thing is fun.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: So when Republicans have gone before these committees and taken a fit,
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: like I've seen it percolating around, there's always the grifter sphere.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: Of the left will always be like, oh, well, he didn't have anything to be worried about.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: Why is he taking the fifth?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: So I've seen people like I saw with Ed Krasentine,
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: which is incredibly low hanging fruit,
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: but
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: responding to him who is now saying like, oh, brave Dr. Fauci.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: And with him complaining about Republicans taking the fifth in the past,
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: if you don't have anything to be guilty of, why would you take the fifth?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: That again, Ed Krasenstein is a useless human being and just a grifter of the highest order.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: You're saying this with a Twitter bet, which I totally understand and get and appreciate.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's great.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean this in a wider electoral bent.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like, Republicans will do nothing with this.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: They'll score a couple dunks on Twitter.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: They'll make a couple news clips out of it, and then it'll fade into obscurity.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is an actual gold mine.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: If they used it properly, I don't have any faith in them to do it.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: I wish they would.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: I wish they would prove me wrong.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: Please, please, please prove me wrong.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: They're not going to do any of this effectively.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's not going to move any needles.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're not going to package this in a way that voters can understand the way
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: that they are being lied to,
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: the way that this was all covered up, especially in the past administration.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: This should be a Well, I think that there is a value in laying out—
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, totally.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Totally.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: And my problem isn't that they're doing this.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's that nothing's going to come from it and they're not going to use it in the way
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: that they should.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think something's going to come for it in that the more it is laid out,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: the step by step of everything to do with this,
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: the harder it becomes for the Democrats in the future.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: The more obvious it is the average American, the harder it is for Democrats or anyone else.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: To use similar tactics in the future.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think it's talked a lot about the fall in trust in the academic class and
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: the expert class and whatnot.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: And this is part and parcel of that.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: But buttresses a general thing that these people have a habit of lying to try
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: to force change and force things that they personally think would be better.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't think it's as useless as you do.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's all performative theater, but everything in politics is all performative theater.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: My problem isn't that they're doing this and that it is performative theater, which it is.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's totally useful.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't believe that Republicans will tie that into a winning argument or a winning case.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think we have massive communication issues in the party.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think so many things that if we could just communicate clearly with people,
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: if we could just talk openly in a way that people understood and be less weird
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: and haughty, I think people would realize these things.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think that we have been given...
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: I look at the rise of the democratic socialist wing and see that as nothing but opportunity.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: And it's also frustrating because it's like,
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: how did we not communicate about the dangers of socialism?
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: How have we not been talking about how Democrats are using things like
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: a massive pandemic to seize control,
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: to mess up a lot of affordability problems that I'm annoyed we're not fixing.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: There's so many things like that that we just don't do anything with it.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: We're waiting for voters to connect the dots, but voters are never going to do that.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: It just bothers me.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: It just bothers me that we don't use this to our advantage.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I realize they're doing the hearings and things, but then...
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: By 2 p.m.,
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: they're going to be texting all of their citizens asking for money
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: about something completely nonrelated.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: And that's going to be the follow up that we get from this.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like, we just have a massive connection issue.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: but that's I think that the American people in general are disconnected from the
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: from the from the governance.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's all because it because and this is it is very much a team sport now.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't matter whether they no longer view it as being mattering what they do,
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: because,
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: the vast bulk of people are going to vote for their team or they're going to sit out
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: the game.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And you just have to get enough people to actually get up and vote
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: for their team rather than sitting out the game.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: And then you win that round.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just frustrated that we don't use every issue to our strength.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, because people are dumb.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: Politicians are especially dumb.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: And their staff are incredibly dumb, too.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: Their staff are 20-year-olds.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: When I was just talking about working in the Senate, I was 24.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: What the heck did I have any right going and—like, I wrote a forest policy bill.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: I was 24.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't know anything.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I had a degree in political science with a focus in global finance,
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: and I wrote a forest health bill.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: So— It just they're all young.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: They're all dumb.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: I am just frustrated that we don't use all of these problems and issues to our strength.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm frustrated that we have let our country be so brainwashed to think
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: that socialism is a good idea and worth trying.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: I never grew up thinking that we would see that.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be like, oh, yeah, we all understand that.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: And we just totally checked out.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: And now we're embracing it.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: I can't.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just really frustrated and cranky.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: That has to do with larger endemic problems in academia.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: The major breakdown on who thinks these things are a good idea and
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: who thinks are bad is there's a reason that it is broken down pretty much directly
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: between how much education you have.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: And it ain't because more education equals smarter.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's more education equals more programming.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, that's...
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's really easy for me
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: to say since I only have a BA.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and the academic world has been like this forever.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: This has been an ongoing thing within academia.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's only come to a head recently.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: So when you were young, perhaps...
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: It didn't occur to you that people would think socialism was okay.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: It occurred to me because I grew up around a lot of academics,
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: and I knew a lot of the academic world,
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: and I was aware that that was a prevailing thing.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, in all levels of academia going back for decades and decades,
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: it's just been slowly increasing and coming to a head pretty much since
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: the left exclusively took over academia in the late 60s.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: This is when it really got into the catbird seat.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, and...
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I grew up in Southern California and Colorado,
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: but Colorado, one, used to be a red state then.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: And California, I grew up literally down the street from the Reagan Library.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_00: You could see the hill that it was being built on, like, from my backyard.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I grew up in some different areas.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: When I was young...
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: When I was young, we had a board game.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: We owned a board game called Class Struggle that was kind of a monopoly dupe.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: But on the cover,
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: there was two men with arm wrestling,
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: a black and white picture of two men arm wrestling.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: And onto one of them, Karl Marx's head had been superimposed.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure who the other guy on it was.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think it might have been a British prime minister.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't really know.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: But this whole game, the game was entirely structured so that the socialists would always win.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: My mother had picked this up when she was at Harvard.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: It was made by, I think, a Harvard professor.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what happened.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think this game's actually pretty valuable now.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: Not a lot of it were made.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what happened to it in the intervening years.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, so...
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: I say this as a, academia is always rife with commies.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's always been a thing.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: Joe McCarthy was correct in that assessment.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: I have said before,
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_01: I have issues with McCarthy's methods and his overreach,
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_01: but he was directionally correct.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: No notes.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, how am I going to push back on that?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know me too well.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds good to me.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: I went and saw The Odyssey last night.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: I did a post about this.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: It was a good movie.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: I am not going to see it.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: I am going to send my family to see it.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_00: I am not a movie person because I realize I'm insane.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: You have no interior life is the thing.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_01: There's no interior reality to you.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: You don't want things that will lift your spirit or ennoble your mind.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: You just want your real housewives.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_01: You want to roll in the muck rather than reach for the sky.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm actually okay with that.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: One person's housewives is another person's odyssey, my friend.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: I would say that the body of work that was Real Housewives
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: of Rhode Island this year was spectacular.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: And if it was ever presented in a theater,
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_00: I still wouldn't go because I don't like going to movie theaters.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: People chomp really loud.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a food sounds person.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: People's chewing like really gets to me.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: Not as bad as my daughter.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: My daughter like will wear headphones when we all eat sometimes,
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_00: depending on who we're eating with.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Just listen to the movie.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you listening to anything but the movie?
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because I can hear it.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's in my ear.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: All I can hear is people like chomping on popcorn or they have their phone out
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: and they're like recording for TikTok.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I just hate, I hate the whole experience.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: The seats are not always comfortable.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: One of our theaters,
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_00: you can reserve your seats and it's like the really nice recliners
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: that have
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: footrests.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Those I like, but I can't deal with, I just, I don't know.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a theater person.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of theaters.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: I have to pee a lot too.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: And then I miss like half the movie.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm the smoker in this conversation.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: You'd think I'd be the one who, like, you know, I can't sit through it.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: And I have said in the past I would pay a premium if, like,
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_01: if there was a theater that had a screen that,
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: like, was the smoker screen and you could smoke but only in that screen.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: I would pay extra to sit in that screen.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: That would make life so much better.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but you could do that.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: Peeing, like,
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: while watching a movie is somewhat impossible unless you're absolutely feral,
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_00: and I am not nearly approaching that level yet.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_00: I have a really small bladder.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: It just,
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: it's really annoying to,
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: like, have to climb over people, get out of the movie, go back.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it just, I don't know.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: You've traveled with me.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know I have the world's smallest bladder.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: I love going to the movies.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_01: I've always loved going to the movies.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: I am considering going to the movies twice this week because
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: the new Spider-Man movie is coming out and I'm very vaguely curious about it.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_01: And the next movie after that.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: They're making an adaptation of The Dog Stars,
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: which is a book that I quite like, a post-apocalyptic novel.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's coming out in late August.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: I've actually got a decently sized movie theater calendar coming up.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: I will watch some of these movies when they come out, you know, when they're on streaming.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: You'll watch them on your phone, as the director intended.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: I can watch them on my TV that doesn't even have a sound bar.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, nightmare stuff.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we will hook up our Sonos to TVs and pasta.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to have to figure that out.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you're going to do Sonos.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_00: We already have Sonos.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have, like, is it the full television suite for Sonos?
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have the two fronts, two
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_01: backs, and the woofer?
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: So we have Sonos, but we are music people more than TV people and movie people.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: So we have a music set up for it, not a TV set up for it.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: So just stereo.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: No woofer.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be in the middle floor in a three-level house.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, it's the triple-deckers.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_00: In Boston, it's just a condo on each level, and we're the middle floor.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I do have to be somewhat cognizant of not being as loud as we are.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, we have 10 acres.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_00: We are chaotic.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're very loud.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm always screaming at my kids like, Because I can't find them or they're wherever.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: We're just a very, very loud group.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, how are we physically going to do this?
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're going to hate me.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to have to be like baking around the clock,
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: like offer to dog sit and babysit for these people because we're going to be
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: the neighbors from hell, I'm sure.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: Possibly.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_01: Well, play the cards we're dealt.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's probably true.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's really funny, too,
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: because we did a campus tour and one of the families
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: that was touring us around was saying that her apartment on campus,
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: which we did not get into any campus housing for moving to the seminary.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_00: But her apartment is right next to the apartment that the ecumenical patriarch stays in.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: And she said one morning she was out like screaming at her kids to get their stuff
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: on and like get them out the door.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: And she's like yelling profanities at her kids like, come on, let's get this going.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: And she opens the door and he's standing right outside drinking coffee.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, cool.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: He heard all of that.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: That's why you should treat your kids well and not yell at them or stare at them.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, if they're not going in the morning, sometimes you have to be like, get up.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_01: You never know where Jesus is.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying, you know, Jesus is everywhere.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, thankfully we don't see our ecumenical patriarch as actual Jesus, but...
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, he is a representative of the church.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: if you wouldn't want the ecumenical patriarch of Jesus to see you do something,
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_01: you shouldn't do it.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_01: This is important.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_01: This is important life advice here.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: You would think that someone like me who once cursed very unfortunately in front of
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: a sitting vice president in the United States would learn that lesson.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: And yet, here I am.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: That vice president was Cheney.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: He, I'm sure, liked it.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he was really happy that I was screaming F you at a guy who messed up.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_00: It was a fundraiser for a candidate and they messed up which fundraiser they had me
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_00: at and they brought me to and had my board member with me,
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: brought me to a fundraiser where our opponent's name was.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like I was a credit union lobbyist.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: They had me go to a fundraiser that had a bank listed as their main sponsor.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I brought my board member there and I was like,
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think you realize this is an actual huge insult.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: I pulled millions of dollars of advertising after that.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like I and they lost the election.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_00: So it's
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_01: your fault.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's not my fault.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_01: Republican laws.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but then
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: it's Boebert's district now, so a Republican will never lose again.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: Not exactly a happy ending.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_00: No, that was a weird year.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was an in-between redistricting year when Fort Collins was still in the fourth.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_00: So she lost, but it wasn't Boebert then.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: But it has gone back to being solid R. Yeah.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_01: Speaking of Republicans with questionable morality, did you want to talk about Cootergate?
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, gosh, no.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: I want nothing to do with it.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe you just came out there and said
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_01: it like that.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_01: There is a woman on
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: Twitter.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like as the woman, I should be the one to say this now that you've unleashed this on us.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, she unleashed it on us, but
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: there's a woman...
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: Who is podcasting and,
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_00: unlike us,
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: does video, which we are going to eventually do, and we'll work towards that.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: She sits and has, she's always barefoot because that's a kink that nobody wants to think of.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_00: She sits in a chair with her feet visible,
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_00: but also is always in spandex and you can clearly see the outline of her lady bits.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: And...
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_00: She sits in a way that she thrusts it forward so that everyone can be a part of the clam slam.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just, it's awful.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_00: It makes me hate the internet.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_00: I am so sad for this girl who's a really cute girl and I hate it so much.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: I just find her commentary banal and unnecessary.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_01: Making all sorts of points that were,
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_01: like, you know, just well-trodden paths of speculation and inquiry.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to lie.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't hear anything over the lady bits in my face.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like, all I saw was... No, it...
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: With stuff like that, I'm like, put it away, lady.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: Put it away.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: Look, I am very famous for being pro leggings.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't be because I'm a little curvier than you should be to wear leggings around.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm wearing leggings right now.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: That woman makes me want to burn every pair of leggings I have because I'm like,
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_00: this is so gross.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_01: I am notably anti-leggings, I think.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_01: Leggings are an inappropriate thing for women to wear as primary pants.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_01: Under a dress or skirt, leggings are fine.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm rolling my eyes so hard right now.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: I've never, like,
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_01: it's the equivalent of a woman wearing an extremely low-cut shirt,
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_01: and then, like, you know, when a guy notices that, my eyes are up here.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not just, well, yes,
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_01: your eyes are up there, but that isn't what you chose to showcase with this outfit.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, in fairness,
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: to stand up for that a little bit,
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'm offender one and two here, so look at me getting my...
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_00: Knickers all in a twist over this girl.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes you can't help it.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes you have really big boobs and you can't help it.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: And shirts that aren't supposed to be low-cut are.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I will just say that.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: The leggings I'll give,
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: and like I always wear leggings with a huge baggy shirt and look disgusting.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like in an overtly sexual way.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's usually like, oh, the poor homeless woman got out again.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's not, it's not in a way, just sometimes they're more comfortable and I don't know.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure they're comfortable.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, wearing nothing would also be easy and comfortable.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: No, it wouldn't be.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_00: No, because then you get like splatters and stuff.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying,
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_01: you see,
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_01: you see,
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_01: there are like,
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: women wandering around with just like,
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: If I went out, or any man went out
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_01: wearing pants that were skin tight
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_01: and perfectly defined every bit of your twig and berries,
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_00: people would justifiably
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_01: be horrified.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a really visual person.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_00: So as we talk about all these things,
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_00: just know that these are the images running through my head
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_00: and I hate life right now.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to say,
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: leggings as pants,
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not talking about yoga leggings are fine,
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_01: the billowy kind of ones, but skin tight leggings as pants, absolutely not.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_01: My wife's on board with it, my wife despises them.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_01: I know she does!
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_01: She will not let our – so a lot of little girls wear leggings as pants.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_01: Our daughters are not allowed to wear leggings as pants.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_01: So this is not my rule.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_01: This is my – you will dress appropriately.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_00: Mine did when she was, like, really little.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: But when she started to be towards preteen, she's like, no.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_00: When they're really little, they're just, like, soft pants, and it's fine.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: But – My daughter's like super against it.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: My daughter wears a baggie everything.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like I have the opposite problem with that.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_01: The issue is the thinness of the fabric and the skin tightness.
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_01: The issue
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_00: is the camel toe of it all that brought about this conversation like that girl.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: And now I'm going to have to rethink my life choices because I was confronted
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_00: with her lady garden and have decided that I need to change my act.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, like I said, I hardly even notice anything about the video because I listen to the video.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's a political video, so I'm a married man.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not looking around.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not looking at these things for titillation.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: That certainly isn't my aim.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm here for politics, sir.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_00: Say it loud or we'll believe you.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_00: No, like...
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_00: Just because your walls are full at home doesn't mean you don't like to peruse
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_00: the museum from time to time, but also, ugh, and like, why lead with that?
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_00: At least like, okay,
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: low-cut shirt,
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: I understand a little bit more, but lady leading with that is just wild.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_01: You know, apparently work.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone was talking about her, but everyone knows that she exists now.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_00: She's an OnlyFans person.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_00: She has an OnlyFans account.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's why she's putting her vag front row center.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_00: Also, definitely going to mark this one as not trouble.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_01: Alex Jones was apparently totally cool with this.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_01: if Alex Jones,
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_01: one of our greatest modern thinkers, he said he responded to, what's her face?
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_01: Did Kristen start this or was this she just glommed on to it as it ascended?
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, Alex Jones was all about this.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_00: He just doesn't want the frogs to be gay and she's doing everything she can
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_00: to make sure they're not.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_00: I just, it's horrific.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's really,
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: really sad that girls think that they have to do this,
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_00: that they have to like have their feet in camera and their lady bits in camera
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: under spandex to, I get it.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_00: I get that, you know, she doesn't have, Robust just enough to lead with that.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't know.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_00: I hate that she thinks she has to do all that to gain popularity
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_00: and instead can't just talk about interesting things.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't think she can talk about interesting things.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: She's leading with what she has.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, the thing that stood out to me was the banality of what she was saying.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_01: So...
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a wild thing.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sad that we even mentioned it.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to have a lot of dudes looking up these videos.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_01: I thought it would be funny with your reaction.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_01: Let me bring it up.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: I, yeah, I just, I hate the world.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_00: I hate everything right now.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_00: This is proof.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_00: What am I going to do when I live in a city?
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: Thankfully,
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: Boston's cold,
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_00: so I won't have to yell at girls for dressing like whores,
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_01: but what am I going to do in a city?
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: They have warm summers.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: We're not going to live there during the summer, mostly.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: No, you're going to
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: head back?
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_00: So we're not we we actually this is funny because you did ask about my townhouse earlier.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_00: We don't live at the house that I own.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: We live with my in-laws on a farm and they own that house.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_00: So we are not selling it.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_00: It is not ours to sell.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't ask about that one.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think we might inherit it someday,
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_00: but I don't take like we're technically supposed to, but it's not mine.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't count that as mine until it is, and you never know.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_00: My mother-in-law has advanced Alzheimer's,
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_00: and we will probably be back quite a bit because we think this is moving
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_00: towards her final years.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we will be back a lot.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_00: I don't talk about it a lot on Twitter, but it's not private information either.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_00: so we'll be back a lot to be with my in-laws to help take care of my mother-in-law,
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_00: which is one reason I'm actually really excited to go to Boston
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_00: because it's caretaking.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is the second person in their family who has advanced Alzheimer's
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_00: that I will have helped take care of, and I candidly need a break.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_00: I need a little distance from it.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_00: An entire nation's worth.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm actually really excited for that reason.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_00: Things are getting dark.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_00: Things are getting dark.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_00: And my father-in-law is entirely capable.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_00: They're actually very young for her to be succumbing to advanced Alzheimer's.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_00: I think it technically qualifies as early onset because of her age.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_00: But my father-in-law is absolutely fine.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_00: And dealing with things well.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it's different than when his grandma was dying and we were her soul caretakers in
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: that we can get a little distance and it is going to very much be needed.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's good.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think we've probably covered it.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_00: We talked about nothing but vaginas for half of this.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: That was okay, though.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's not okay.
• 44:50
  SPEAKER_00: She needs to cover it.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: She's got to learn to put it away and become interested.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_00: There are so many more interesting things she can talk about,
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_00: but none of those sell her OnlyFans channel, and that is it.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_00: And really quickly, since I'm back on this and heated again, if...
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_00: So many dudes weren't so creepy,
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_00: and a lot of them are married,
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_00: and you are not,
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_00: and I am saying this because you are not,
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_00: like, if so many dudes weren't so creepy and gross, girls wouldn't do that.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_00: Because it wouldn't work.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_00: She knows that she's going to get tons and tons of sign-ups from that.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_00: And
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_00: doing the political bent to it is totally a way to get This is really cynical
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: of me,
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_00: but that's the way you get married guys to subscribe because they can be like,
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_00: oh, she's just talking politics.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, yeah, we know why you're watching
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_01: this.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's people who bought Playboy for the articles.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like Playboy, though, is not even as like— The articles
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_01: actually were good.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, they actually were good.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the other thing.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, look, I used to date guys that had plenty of the back catalog.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah,
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_00: at least those were like,
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know,
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_00: more tasteful than sitting in a full body spandex suit
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_00: and like pushing your nether regions towards the camera.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's just it's just gross.
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_00: At least Playboy was slightly artistic.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll give it that.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's an interesting permutation of the political talking head subgenre,
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_01: and it'll be interesting to see where it goes.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like it probably is indicative of a cultural movement,
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_01: and I'm not sure what exactly that cultural movement or shift is.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you could...
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_00: You could really easily look at some of the bodycon dresses
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_00: that specifically Fox people really, really loved, especially in the early 2000s.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_00: Like they were in very, very skin tight, super short dresses.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_00: They're all really petite women with huge boobs.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like it is kind of an...
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_00: If you look at it in an anthropomorphic study, it's interesting.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_01: Anthropological.
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_01: Anthropological.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: My brain is gone, okay?
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: I never say the right thing.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_00: Just smile and nod.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently, I should be in a skin tight... No, no one wants to see that.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_01: Bye-bye.
