• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The sound of silence is a great song, but that
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: would make for a crappy podcast. It's one more thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm strong and one more thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: We should do that sometime.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: It'd be like silence, we should it'd be like that
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: art with the banana tape through the wall. It would
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: be our commentary on Modern Media or something like that,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: or minutes of silence.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Philip Glass, who's that twentieth century avant garde composer who
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: would have like a symphony that was just an hour
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and a half of silence.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Seems like nobody listens to the radio harder than when
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: they're silenced, though, like.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, what's going on? What happened? What's going on? Maybe
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that's just because I'm in right. We got to do
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: that tomorrow, our commentary on modern Media. Two minutes of silence.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: No, Michael would have a heart attack. Yeah, I'd be
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: getting calls. Alarms would be going off all all over
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the road. Lights, yeah, plays plays panic to program directors,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? So that was a fancy pants
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: introduction for the fact that we're going to clean out
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the sound fridge and place your sound. That's right, metal guy,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: not silence, but sound indeed, the crew they work like
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: slaves to bring interesting audio to our attention, and we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: don't get to it all every day, and so we
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: thought we'd go ahead and then and review some of it. Katie,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: do you want to introduce clip ten here? Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: So this is a video in San Francisco, just outside
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: of the Tenderloin and the San Francisco Police Department is
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: trying to clear out an alleyway that is just filled
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: with bums and junkies. And in this alley there is
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: a mattress and a guy laying on it and she
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: is trying to wake him up.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: How manned y'all to wake up this dude that sleeping
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: right here?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So he's sleep.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: You know you're to care the alley? Please thank you?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: This is hey, hey sleep Hey?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: No, that is he alive? Or is the O d ing?
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: The cop asks the cop asks that over the p
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: a is he is he alive?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Or is he O ding?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: And at the end they were saying that narkan right
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: there hasn't been used. And when they wake when they
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: quote unquote wake him up, he is clearly high as
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: a kite, probably close to an od.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Has there ever been a time in history. Anywhere in
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the world where this sort of thing has happened like this,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: where he got teeming humanity of out of their mind
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: dying in large numbers drug or alcohol.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Addicts, opium dens of China, maybe Toronto with their great
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: experiments on the the drug district, and Amsterdam did it,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: but not. I was in Amsterdam for a long time
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in what was that, the the end of the eighties. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: late eighties, and pot was legal and you could get
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: cash and that hash and that sort of thing. Oh
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I ran straight away from that stuff, Katie. Oh yeah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: twenty three year old. Oh oh, I was outraged by it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But there were no junkies laying around anywhere it was.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Now there are from what I understand anyway, And why
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was it?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Why were people not getting hooked on the whatever and
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: laying about.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm reminded of when a bunch of Euros came
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to San Francisco to talk about or compare notes on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the drug rehab centers and safe injection sites and stuff
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: like this like that, and the Europeans were aghast. We
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: talked about this on the show a couple of times since.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But they said to the San Francisco people. Wait a minute,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, We don't let people break the law
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and sleep on the streets and defecate in public.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're here to help you, but you still have
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to carry out all of the obligations of a citizen.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: What are you doing here?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Well, and it's like, you know, San Francisco has harm
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: reduction right where they're handing out the syringes and the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: lighters and the little all the tools you need to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: get high because they think that that's going to save lives.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: For what.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: So nuts, It is.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So perverse, in the opposite of what is right. Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Successful, One more thing on San Francisco before we get
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: back to the sound fridge. From the San Francisco Chronicle today,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the number of people in San Francisco arrested or cited
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: for petty drug crimes but not drug dealing, has jumped
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: this year because of the new mayor's push to squash
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the city's drug markets. New data from the police department shows, man.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: It is going to take so long for that city
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to even look close to anything like it used to.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well, for one thing, if you turned it around today,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: it'll take a decade or more before people around the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: world John, Oh, it's okay to come back now. Oh yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, a positive note, behind the scenes,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they call me mister positive. You should know those folks.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: A positive note, what this new crackdown? Shut up, Michael,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Oh told you to speak, that's mister positive. On the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: other hand, on a positive note, this crackdown will save lives.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It will save many lives during the period to get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: back to sanity, then re establish the reputation of San Francisco,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: which you guys are talking about. All the kids, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: young people or middle aged people will say, you know what,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: being a junkie sucks. Instead of boy, they make it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: easy to be a junkie, and they'll think I want
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to turn my life around, and they will. And even
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: if it's ten people, that's great. Anyway. Having said that,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I had to look up once again, because I've looked
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this up many times in my life. There are pieces
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of trivia like that that you look up and you think, oh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that's interesting, but it's not quite interesting enough to remember.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And this is another one of those. Why is the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: tenderline called the tenderloin, and that's the nickname for tough neighborhoods,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: particularly in San Francisco and New York. It's believed to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: originated from a New York City police captain, Alexander S.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Clubber Williams. I wonder how he got that nickname. Probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't because he liked to hang out in clubs anyway,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: who reportedly said he could now afford tenderloin steak due
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to the bribes he received while policing a vice ridden area.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, isn't it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Ask me again in a year. I won't remember it,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that's where the name came from, the Tenderloin district.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: You go down there, you get so many bribes you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: can afford tend that looint.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he could be a cop today with
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the nickname Clubber.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Oh it's just because he likes club sandwiches.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Oh that's charming. I like that. You know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I want to hear that. We played this on the show,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: but I just want to hear it again. Hit us
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with clip number twelve, the trailer from the brand new
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: horror film The Monkey.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: The coroner said it was an accident, but it was
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: no accident. It was a monkey. When I was a kid,
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: my twin brother and I found something that loved to kill.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: We have been.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Chosen to witness its power over life and death in
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: its most devious ways.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: It's it's one of those toy monkeys. It's got a
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: little drum with sticks, and you wind it up and
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: it goes right at kills you. Heli. Yeah, but then
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it'll put a spear right through your head. Dumb ass movie.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: What was that line at the beginning of it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't a so call it an accident.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: It was, but it wasn't an accident. It was a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: monkey of unintentionally humor. But you said, Jack, it's kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of tongue in cheeks.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: He looks like it's supposed to be funny.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: That is a really funny line, whether it was intentional
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: or not.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, husband confirmed that it's it's kind of a spoof
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: on horror some of it. Oh, I love that, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it looks pretty horrrific also, Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So it solves both of those. Yeah. So you got
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the Senator John Kennedy, who evidently, like you know, very
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: man low or share, is going to stick with the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: same act clear until the grave. And that would be
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: homespun witticisms from Buy you clipped thirty five, Michael.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for double standards in Washington, there wouldn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: be any.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Standards at all.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Most Democrats in the Senate supported what Schumer did, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they're they're scared of him.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Whatever Schumer says, generally.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Speaking, they just move and following them to the shoot
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like cattle.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I was charming and homespun description and.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: All trying to figure out what fashion statement he's trying
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to make. Right now, I just sent you guys a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: picture of the glasses he was wearing during that interview,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and there it's an interesting choice, being edgy and bar.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Oh he's gone with the hipster, brightly colored, funky shaped frames.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not sure that's him. Not sure that's on brand, Jack.
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: You need to get some of those immediately. Well, I
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: can't criticize him for riding his brand clear into the
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: grave and yet shaking it up a little bit in
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: the same segment. I would feel hypocritical, and I don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: want to be that. Let's see, I'm tempted to go
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: with one, but it's serious. Maybe we'll just keep it
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: around for them.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Let's play Steve Bannon one more time, just because I
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: thought that was pretty hilarious that. I mean, we're still
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: obviously trolling.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And a firm believer that President Trump will run and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: went again in twenty twenty eight. So I've already endorsed
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: person Trump. A man like this comes along once every century.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: If we're lucky, we've got him now. He's on fire
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and I'm a huge supporter. Want to see him again
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And was there any follow up question like how exactly
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: would he run again?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: There was, actually, But I will tell you this as
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a participant in an analyst of the business, podcasting radio,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, spoken word content, think
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of that if you are especially a young or slightly
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: soft headed, impressionable person who loves Trump, how exciting that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is that we're gonna change the constitution and do whatever
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it takes to get him elected again. Putting aside that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he's freaking old, I mean, he's tireless for a man
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of his age. But and then Bannon will keep it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: going with, Hey, we're making progress, We've got an attorney,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a hearing, and we're thinking we
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: can do this and this maneuver will get it done.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And it's a great ratings, stunt.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Well, we've actually got the followup upon to hear this, yep.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Oh you know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: He's term limited. How do you think he gets another term.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: We're working on it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I think we'll have I think we'll have a couple
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: of alternatives. Let's say that. We'll see we'll see definition,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we'll say what the definition of term limit is. But
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: this is many years in the makings, so we've had
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: greater long shots than Trump twenty twenty eight, and I've
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff we're working on there.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: We're not prepared to.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Talk about it publicly, but in a couple of months.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I think we will be.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the amendment says, but does it
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: say consecutive terms? If it doesn't, maybe that's the way
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: they wedge their way in.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He was talking to your workout buddy. By the way,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I could see this happening? Oh man,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: what a mess. It would be bad. I could see
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Trump running for the nomination and getting it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Oh no, don't you can't you imagine enough motivated a
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: hardcore people coming out and supporting him and just say, yeah,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: nobody tells us what to do and he gets, he
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: wins Iowa, he wins New Hampshire.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could picture that, But then the maneuver would
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: have to be because he can't run well well right,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But then the maneuver would be see I'm I'm with
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: all due modesty, mister a political mind okay, and mister
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: poss No, the play would have to be Look, Trump
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: won again. We know he can't run, but he gets
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to appoint his successor. Umble, Jay, who is it? We're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: not having a vote, We've already voted. And it would
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: be whoever is in his favorite that moment vance or
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: who knows who dates. That would be a constitutional crisis.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't a crisis. It was a monkey. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: then that didn't work. That didn't work. I tried it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It didn't work. I can even it's a monkey. The
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: tenderloin a good cut of meat, but a crappy neighborhood,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: well said, Well, I guess that's it.
