  Speaker 1: before I was doing the Internet and the show, people
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: have always felt like they could say whatever the fuck
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: they wanted right to my face.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: This is a long time ago. I was coming I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was leading Haiti coming back home to New York.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It was my old passport picture before I had lost weight.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Right, And.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: The guy looked at it, He looked at me, He
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: looked at it, and he looked at me and he
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: says to me in French. He was like, madam, you've
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: changed quite a lot. And I said, oh, yes, yes
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I have. And then he said, because you were really fat,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you should probably eat a whole lot. And you know
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: what's really funny about that is like it was it
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: was such a Haitian guy thing to say that. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: wasn't even mad. I thought it was really fucking funny,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and it's actually very It's so funny, and it's just
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the way that he was just like, damn, madam. The
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: best thing about it was like he spoke to me
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in French first it's like the proper way, and then
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: when I was like, oh, yes, I have, and then
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: he switched to Crayle, which is more like familiar, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: he was just like, I was just like, this is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: just funny.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It was really it was actually really funny.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Told me most of your like hilarious Haiti stories are
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: around the airport or the plane ride, Like it's it's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: rarely in Haitio. It's always going to it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: From the thing about I think any anytime you're going
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: anywhere on an airplane or an airport, it's like the subway, right,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody in New York takes a subway. Everybody takes a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: plane someplace, right, absolutely, And it doesn't matter your socioeconomic
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: status and your race, none of it matters because you're
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: all like stuck in the same place. And like people
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: say like this, and I think travel makes a lot
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of people anxious, and then they just they're just wild
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and they.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Wild and they physically are restrained, kind of like you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can't move around a lot, and it's just it's bringing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out the worst in people. The plane. The plane travels
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: bring out the worst in people.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Are you you're anxious to travel?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Are you not anymore?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I used to be really nervous to travel, Okay, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: now I'm trying to escape my life so much that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I love getting on a plane. I'm like, oh hell yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this is wait to get on that plane.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Is a better traveler you were bred?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It depends on how we're defining better.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: More come less anxious?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. So in my life, and you know what, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: have an answer, Okay, thank you. In my life, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: am the person who plans and organizes everything, okay. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I know you are too, Okay. And I know a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: lot of our listeners are too. There's always the person
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and the couple. Brad shows up to the airport, he
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't know where his ticket is, he doesn't sometimes know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what airline we're flying. I do it all, okay, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: get it all organized. It's the night before and he's packing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I've been packed for a week okay. And we're pulling
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: up to the airport and he's like, oh, we're flying
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: American yo. Yeah, and I picked out your meal too,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Like I get I am that one. I'm the one
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: so to say, oh, who's like better at trial? I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: better at it, a more organized. We would not be
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on the plane if he were in charge.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But he's but it sounds like he's more at ease
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: because you've taken care of everything, right, So he's just like, okay,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I've set up this stut.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I will say, if he ever tried to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: take control of organizing the flights, it would be an
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: absolute riot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There would be blood in the streets. Oh dear, it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: would be. And no one will ever take that away
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: from me.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That is I have to have that control. Even when
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I book a gig and they're like, oh, preferred airline
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: whatever I say, I'll send you the receipt. I'm handling
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it all. I'm a control freak like that. I don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: want someone getting involved in that way. I can never
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have someone to help them with that stuff.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, when we go places, Andre's the one who
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: looks up all the stuff, and he does because he
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: knows that I'll just spend a million dollars on stupid shit.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I'll just be like,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you know what here is. I remember one time we
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: were going on the car. Yeah, I was like, we
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: were going somewhere, and I was just like, so we
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: just say, like fucking do whatever. He was like, no,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: we cannot.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like absolutely not.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So that's why he does it, because he's very concerned
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: about how much we're going to pay for things. I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and he's right right, but like sometimes I am willing
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to pay for things so that I don't have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: think about it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And also there is a convenience sometimes where the money
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is actually worth it if you have it. Yes, we
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: were going we were in Norway and we were going
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: dog sledding in the middle of nowhere. It was like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: up on a mountain, how was that. It was so fun.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It was like one of the coolest, most memorable experiences.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Do you think the dogs are happy?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Thrilled?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And now, whenever I see a husky in New York,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, I've seen what you should be doing, gotcha?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And it's not Square Park?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Running through the woods in the snow.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I follow somebody on I think TikTok and she has
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: four huskies and they make an unholy noise when they
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: get to end, and each one eggs on the other
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: one the howl, but it's not just like a howl.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: It's like a it's like a cry for help. Like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: it's like, like it's really really crazy. No, it is,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And I couldn't I think I couldn't do.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I guess the screaming, especially in an apartment.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, screaming would drive me crazy. And it also makes
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: me feel like maybe they shouldn't be in the house,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like maybe this is the kind of dog that needs
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to be outside playing inside.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: People will call and complain and say, oh, this sty
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I saw this dog sleeping sleeping outside in the snow,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and then the owners will film videos and you're like, yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: they're trying to call it again, and the dog doesn't
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: want to come. The dogs we wants to sleep outside
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the But we were going. We had to take a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: train to Lallahammer and then it was like you could
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: either take the bus for three hours to get there
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: or it was a twenty minute cab ride.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Oh I mean yeah, okay.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And in moments like that, it's like we're going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: spend a fifty kroner whatever it was, yes to do
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that if you can. So in situations like that, the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: dollar spent on the convenience is it evens out? This
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: is sidebar, Melissa, didn't you miss a flight one time?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You told me about this a while I did.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Indeed, I know we've talked about this before, but like
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: one of the few times that I've missed a flight
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was because of Andre. Really we were in London. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that's the thing about travel, right, is that I am
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: anxious in the sense of I'm afraid to miss a flight,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like, so I am
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I am you know like the rest of my people.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Like I get to the airport right and I remember
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: looking at the clock and the time and I was
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: just like maybe we should go. Maybe can we go?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And he was like no, it's fine, we got this.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Let's take one more, let's another stroll around the Thames.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Don't be so anxious.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And then I remember, and I have a picture of this,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'll share it with you where I took a picture
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of Andre looking at his phone and I was like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: this is when I knew we were not going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: make it. We were not going to make it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Where were you?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And I was looking at him and I was just like,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: we're not going to make it, are we? And he's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: like no, no, no, but we have to hurry up though,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and I was like okay. And we get to the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: airport and the plane hadn't left yet, but they had
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: stopped boarding and we had to spend the night and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: we spent the night at the airport.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just like another flight.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: We had to wait till the next day and we
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: spent the night at this airport hotel. But it was
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: like the room was it wasn't this big, it was
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: it's for exactly that exactly, and I mean it was
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the bathroom was like a wet room, like it was just.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, I hate that. I hate that. When the shower
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and the toilet and the sink are all connected to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the same water line and it's just one.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was the smallest hotel room I have
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: ever been in my life. And at that point we
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: just started drinking.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to hit the hooch, the airport bar.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: The drinks are so expensive. They're very expensive because they
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: know they have We were hitting it hard. And I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: will say I have traveled with people who like to

  Speaker 2: No, oh, I have.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I don't need to drink to get on a plane.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I don't need to drink. So I can't remember where
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Andre and I were going. And he had a little
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: bit of like a hissy fit at the airport right,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and it made me you need a drink, yeah,

• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I was going through looking for my package. And this
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: is maybe several weeks later, maybe a couple of months later,

  Speaker 2: after fourth of July they were both there together, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: then I never saw her again. Right, there's a new one.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Let's wait, you gotta stop. I can't process all this.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's so insane.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I'm also curious why am I here? Why am I writing? Well,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Because what I realized is Ted's bathroom butts up against
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: my bathroom, and so the head of my bed butts
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: up against I guess his living room or something. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: can hear what's going on in there, right, So York,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you know this is this is one of the reasons
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: why I'm tired of apartment life. I don't want to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: hear you. I don't want to smell your fish. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: don't want it. I don't want I don't want it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I digress. Now there's another one. And they
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: got into a fight this weekend, Eleanor. He and Eleanor
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: are getting into it. But I don't think she was there.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I think she was on speakerphone because she sounded really
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: tinmy right, and they have fought before, and Eleanor ain't
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: no Lois. Eleanor is not here for games, and she
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: is just and more than once I have heard her
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: say to him, I don't know what the fuck your
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: problem is dead.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: She is eating him up.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Eating him up. And then he was saying to her
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: something like, you know, I had a horrible day. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: now Andre's watching TV and I said to him, lower
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the teeth, lower the lower the TV. And he's like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and he's like why, And I was like, Ted and
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Eleanor are getting into it, and he's like, Melissa and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, listen. And then he came over and
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: then we're both in the bathroom together and we're listening
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to what's going on.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just imagining you and Andrea were a cup pressed
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: against Oh.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I remember when I said to you, my neighbor can't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: keep a body. He cannot keep a woman, can't keep
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a body, cannot keep a boy at a certain point,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: if you can't keep an employee. And you were like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: what roommates are girlfriends? And I'm like, girlfriends wives? And
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Michael's like, are they leaving or kicking them out? And
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And then and then so he said
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to her, you knew that I was having a bad
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: fucking day, and she's like, you're always having in a
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: bad faking day. And then I couldn't and then I
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: was getting annoyed because I couldn't hear everything right. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: then I was like, all right, let me watch TV
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, no, no, no, I'm going to hear
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the rest of it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You adele, did they break up?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they broke up,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: but he started playing Adele and.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: No, I'm worried what my neighbors are hearing me say
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and do that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Was I just want someone with my neighbor.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he can't keep a body. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, there are a lot of
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: people in my building who don't like him. He can
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: be really aggressive, but he's been nothing but really nice
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: to me. One day, I was coming in, I had
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a bunch of bags and he's like, oh, let me
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: help him go. Thank you so much, And I said,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that was really sweet of you. He said to me,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: no one's called me sweets and my mother died, so
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Ted is clearly somebody only a mother can love.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Well. What's concerning to me is that clearly he is
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit self aware that he can't keep a body.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he realizes that he can't keep
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: a body. I don't know that people who can't keep
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: bodies realize.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: There the problems. Yeah, I feel like there's something about
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: this though, there's a little bit of self awareness. There
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: are no all these divorces, and I mean, I.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Don't know if it's it's one divorce that I'm aware of,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but there has been.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: He's cute. He's kind of cute. Not really, I don't
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: know that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: My type of white guy I don't like.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah see.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Rich maybe this apartment, Yes, he does on his apartment.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: His apartment is beautiful. He has a really he's an audiophile.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: He has a really beautiful audio situation with like Vinyl.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Because and it's just one hundred Adele albums and BARBISTI
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: sand that is really funny. Well, I need to know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like where this what happens.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I hope that I see Eleanor again. Eleanor loves Arthur Weasley.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I'm ring for them to leave right right. I'm waiting
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for the women to find joy.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: He keeps on getting new ones.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I do think that there is, like you said, like
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: there there's always a man who drives you insane. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: do think that there is also this compulsion that a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: lot of us have to fix a man, to see
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a problem and be like, oh I got this, I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: can figure that out.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my twenties doing did you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I mean I.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Think that my last before my husband, my last long
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: term boyfriend, I did think that I could help him.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I I was like, I just
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: need to love him more, do you know what I mean?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And help him. And when I decided that I was
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: done with him, Yeah, and I was just like, Universe,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: this is what I need and that's what I got.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Take it away and that's what you got what I got.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: It's like in Practical Magic where they sort of put
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: together their purple.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You know that there's a sequel, and I can't wait. Really,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Sad for the sequel. Okay, I am going to be
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: really annoyed if the lightning's weird and if it feels
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: like I'm in a video game. I like movies where
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it's framed and it doesn't look like a video game.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Like I can't watch Wicked. That will give me a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: stomach ache. I can't go to one Imax and watch
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the Willy Wonka movie. I'll like get Vertigo. You know
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I hear you. So.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I used to live in what was like a pre war,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: very old school New York. Like everyone was just like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a weird New York. We've been there forever, yes, and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we were like I remember we were the Yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Near your auntie's apartment and we were there forever. We
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: were there for years and years and years. And when
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you're in a building like that, and it's small and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: everyone kind of knows each other like you're entering an ecosystem,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like they know your shit. They're gonna all talk about you.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And we had a wall where we could hear our
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: neighbor too, and we had this crazy neighbor war.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Was this a neighbor who was the flight attendant? Yeah, okay,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I love this, Go ahead, we'll call him.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: We'll call him Chris. Okay, three in the morning. Chris
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: always had and you'd have to buzz to get into
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the building. Yep, there's always a really late night Friday
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and Saturday night buzz from a how do I say,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a gentleman caller, a younger man of Latino descent, potentially
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: from the oldest profession. Okay, I'm going on dates and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that is me throwing judgment on the situation that is unconfirmed.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: But you know what, the sex work is work.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Get it? Yes, sex work is for a work like
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: get it, like live your truth really like truly no
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: judgment there, but I like loved it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, you know, because it's the sex
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: spicy I have. I have a neighbor who I don't like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and he gets dates. They they're very tall, very thin,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: sort of Russian looking. Yeah, and he is dumpy and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: old and that's not Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: And this in this street that I lived on, there
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: was a lot of sex work activity on that street.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: There were like sex workers working the corner. And so
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: he's got on the stroll. Yeah. And so these guys
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: would show up and it would buzz and like they
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: buzz the wrong unit, and then I'd be letting them in.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: So I was like kind of involved, were a willing participants,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: let me tell you. And I'm so boring. I was
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: home on a Saturday night letting in the Puerto Rican
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: hookers like that was that was my Saturday night. Was like,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: please right this way, Chris. Yes, he's upstairs. The walls
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: though the walls are thin in any and even if
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they're not thin, you're just in close quarters.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I mean the thing about living in an apartment building,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: you're basically living with a hundred other people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's co cohabitation with like without your consent, yeah, totally.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: You are held hostage. Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And so this one night Chris was on a bender,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Like Chris was out, he was out in these streets
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and he came home with this guy and it's three
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: in the morning, and I really can't sleep, and I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: sleep with earplugs in a saw machine since college. Okay,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: every night their earplugs in sow machine. He was railing
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: lines so loud. I could hear it. I could hear
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: him railing a line through the earplug in the sw
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: machine on high. That is a man.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That's a hoover.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That that is self harm, like not odad. And he
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: was like narrating it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: He was like chopping up the next one, like he
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: was like hot ha ha like and it was like
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: and it was all night and so finally I went over,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: like the sun is rising and he's still going crazy
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: on this bender and I knocked on the door and
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, Chris, you gotta keep it down.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: His pupils were outer space seying saucers. Yeah, they bright red.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, like slurring like crazy whatever. The next day
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I get up, he bought me like a nice bottle
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: of like expensive champagne favor and left it on my
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: door handle with just like a little note that was like,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: sorry if I woke you up last night.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: That's actually really classy, Chris, Sorry.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: If you woke me up, Chris, honey. And I get
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to sleep, and you know what, he had so much
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: coconem he was able to go out shopping, run errands
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the next day. Was he doing sleep? No? Yeah, he's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: probably still awake. And I will say he was a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: man of a certain age. He wasn't like nineteen or
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: twenty doing that much blow.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I mean he's been doing it since the seventies.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: He's And I was like, I don't know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: This is Jagger's Studio fifty four.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, you, you really are not at an
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: age where you should be doing that much.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I mean he's a little long in the tooth to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: be doing so much blow.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Studio fifty four. Rocky horror picture shows playing there?

• 24:58
  Speaker 1: If you've been waiting to re me in the comments,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: if you've been holding back, which I don't think any
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of you have because you love eating me up, this
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: is your opportunity. Because I'm such a dumb slut, I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: went up to Susan Sarandon. Okay, yep, pencils down, heads up.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I went up to Susan Sarandon and I said, Hi,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: miss Surandon, I just have to let you know. This
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is during intermission because we were like sitting down in

  Speaker 1: like all that stuff. We have this adorable que conversation.
• 25:46

• 25:49
  Speaker 1: she said, yes, I'll take a photo with you, but
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: we've got to find the good lighting. And y'all know,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm the same way. I'm like, oh babe, yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: we can light your face with the glare off my
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: bald head, Like, let's get some go. I said, this
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: is what I'll do, because consent is important. I held
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: up my phone and I said, let's swivel and when
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: there's good lighting, you say go and I'll click the clicker. Okay,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: So we do this whole rigamarole and I walk away
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and I go back to Brad, my husband, who knows
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: everything and is not try to tell me okay, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: he says, oh, you're talking to Susan Srandon and I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was like yeah, and he says, did you compliment her
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: on how she was originated the role of Janet in
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Rocky Horror, in the movie that the show is based on.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And I said, she was in what Noo? And he said, yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that's why she's here because she was in Rocky. She
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: originated Janet in the movie.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I hate you. I hate you everything you. I hate
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you and everything you stand for.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: So mortified? Do you hate me? Like a cruise ship
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: take him out to see and sink him. Wow. It
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: was one of my most mortifying moments because we talked
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: But you didn't I mean, Okay, So while I'm horrified
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that you just didn't know this piece of pop culture
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: that I feel like you should have known, and I
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: feel like this makes you a bad gay man.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Chris, the next door neighbor would have absolutely not put
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: up with this. He definitely knew.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: But I mean, it's not like you said anything to her, So.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stop you right there. And I appreciate
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you being really gracious with me, Okay, I don't deserve it,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: because throughout the entire conversation she was kind of looking
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: at me like I'm an EmPATH. She was kind of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: looking at me like, are you going to say it?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Are you going to say the thing everything's been saying
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to me here? You know, she was kind of looking
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: at me like you know when someone's kind of waiting
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: for you to say something. You're at the altar and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you say I do, and then you're kind of waiting
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: for the next She was waiting for me to say something,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I wonder what she was waiting
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: for me to say? You know what that yeah? And
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I wonder if yeah, she friends
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: with the lighting designer.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Is she a part of this production?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: No? And That's where I'm also mortified, because every every
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: like photo that was taken all over social media in
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the post was Susan Sarandon attends the show based off
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the movie she was in, so like everyone was there
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: talking to her and it was reported on because she
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: was there because of.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: The movie Gotcha and you were say in the movie. Okay.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I used to go to a Rocky Horror Picture show
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: all the time and like would be in the audience participate.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: So in the show, yeah are they are they doing
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the call and response.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: So there's been a lot of controversy around this because
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: they're very famous actors in the show. People are paying
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: like five hundred bucks a ticket to go see them
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: do the jump to the left, damn. And you really
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: are paying premium price to see these very very famous
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: people do the show, not the guy from Jersey sitting
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: next to you. You couldn't get a ticket to Lan King. Yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you know the cats, we could see boop And so
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of a lot of Rocky Horror
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: purists have been upset, yes, that people aren't allowed to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: dance or do the callbacks there. I was there opening night. Yeah,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: so there were some callbacks and it was very like
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, very cute, okay, but it wasn't disruptive.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: There were some people would yell out, I would say
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: maybe five times during the show, and the show just
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: kept moving okay, and the actors knew what to do, yes,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and we got to see everyone do their incredible performance.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Like really, so it's such a star studed cat.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, interesting because because I feel like that's like
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the whole thing I've never got. I've never seen the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: movie without.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That, without people kicking in this in the aisles. Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: because they do these like midnight showings and yeah, yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: no one was really doing that. I will say they
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: do pull up a couple of people on stage at
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: some point, I think, hopefully to scratch that itch. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: when they did it during opening night, they pulled Eric
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Botcher on stage, our former guest.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, shout out to Eric. What he imparted himself?
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: As it was?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: It was told twink Yeah, uh demon Twink that was
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: running against her, and they made him do the dance.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Did he do it?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, let's move on.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: During COVID, I had this neighbor downstairs who got what
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I call his COVID boo and you would hear them,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: and the COVID boo was enthusiastic, encouraging and loved Jesus.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I'm at a loss for words.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And at first it was like funny, Oh, she's she's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: invoking the Rosary, and then at the end I was like,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to set him on fire.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because working from home.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I was working from home. I thought the world was ending.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I need to hear you have a nooner. I'm in
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the middle of a zoom call. We've got to look
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at the Q three reports. We've got to circle.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Back on my Q four road now watching my CEO
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: cry that. Anyway, let's move.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: On, let's go into under oath. I've got some crazy
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: stuff I want to talk to you about. We didn't
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: actually get a chance to cover Barry Weiss CBS, the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Sea Cott, censorship journalism in America, the Star Spangled Banner.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: We didn't get a chance to cover it. So I
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: thought we could get into it today because I have
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Seacott tea that people have reached out to me about
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: on the internet. I've made a bunch of videos about this.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: So a couple months ago, there was an inside Seacott
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: segment on CBS and it was supposed to air on
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: sixty minutes in December, so this was like six months ago.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The correspondent with Sharon I'll and the segment featured interviews
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: with former detainees at this prison. Seacot CECT is the prison.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: This prison is an el Salvador and notorious, infamous for
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: human rights violations. Basically, what's happening right now? And I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: deal with this a lot in immigration court with Assilis
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: who are seeking asylum in the US from L. Salvador Is.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: In L Salvador, there's what's called the state of Exception.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: And a couple of years ago, the president Bukele decided
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: there's so much gang activity in El Salvador, which is true,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and this is very controversial. So you can talk to
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Salvador and who will say it was great, another we'll
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: say it was awful. Bukelly said, we're going to suspend
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the constitution, which is like terrifying to think about as
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: in America. Yes, we're just going to pause it and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: we're just going to start detaining these gangs because there
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: was a lot of gang violence in El Salvador.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious right now that he's rounded up all
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: these people who were allegedly in gangs, did the gang
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: activity in El Salvador diminish at all.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of gang members were detained, okay, yeah, However
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: they were detained without any due process. There was no
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: court date, there were no trials, there was no actual
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: checks and Balances. New York Times did a really interesting
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: podcast about this where they interviewed people who were in
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: El Salvador who had sons and nephews detained who were
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: not affiliated with gangs, and they were still grateful for
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the state of exception, okay, even though their sons and
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: nephews had been detained, because it was just so much
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: safer now because you catch a lot of people. Yeah,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: there's no way to ensure the actual criminals are being
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: true captured compared to an innocent person, correct.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I say, when you do these sweeps, innocent people are
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: going to get caught up in.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It for sure, right and when there's that's why we
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: have checks and balances. That's why we have a judiciary
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, we sort of separate people
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: who have actually committed crimes and should be prosecuted and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: people who are completely innocent and just in the wrong
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: place at the wrong time. Gotcha, It's not like America
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: nails it. Yeah. So anyway, and we'll get to the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: CBS story in a second. But basically, Bouquela decided to
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: suspend the state of exception, went into effect, suspended the constitution.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of people were detained in these prisons that
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it's very difficult to sort of describe to a first
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: world citizen, an American, what it's actually like in these
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: detention centers. So there are cells so small you can't
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: lie down, There are no access to food, water, toilets.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Overcrowding is like not even a powerful enough word to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: describe what's happening. Rival gangs are housed in the same
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: space together, which is very dangerous. Many gang members are
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: readily identifiable by their tattoos. They have tattoos on their faces,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they're branded by their gangs. And this is not like
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want this to get picked up by a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: news outlet of like Michael Foot stands by gang membership
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and I'll Salvador. But I want to explain that I
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have had some clients who were members of gangs, not
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: by choice, that a lot of times gang members or
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes gang members are victims of circumstance. They have no money,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: there's no functioning government, there's no food, water resources. A
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: guy shows up and says, join my gang, work for
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: my gang, and I will give you enough money so
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: that your mother has food and medicine.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Gotcha right, Yeah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: These are choices. That we as New Yorkers, very rarely
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: are faced with these sort of life and death choices.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So it's very easy for us to pass judgment on
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a situation that we just probably.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Will never here. Correct.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: So, people are detained in these detention centers and the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: conditions really are truly a death sentence. Many times there
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: were mass graves discovered behind this detention center. Injuries are
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: not being reported, people aren't getting access to blood pressure medication,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and just like stroking out and dying, right, So, just
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: really horrific conditions. So with that in mind, the US
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: capitulates in many ways with Seacott and the l Salvadoran government.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: If you are Christininome, go there for like a photoshoots?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, yes she did. And so after she shot
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: her dog, she went there, right, And that's not a joke,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it's an actual fucking fact. So they had these photo shoots,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and the US capitulates and they have I'm not gonna
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm not going to let anyone off
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the hook here. This has been multiple administrations have allowed
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: this to happen. You're also if you're salvador in in
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: America and you commit a crime, it can be a
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: very small crime, and you're marked as to put a
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: deportee back to Salvador. They will inform the government, hey
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: there's someone who's a criminal coming back.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: They're coming back.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: They will meet them at the airport and immediately detain them.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So the US government is like check, Yes, we are
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: effectively buying into this, and every human rights organization and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the UN have spoken out about this.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: So CBS was a long time stallwart of American journalists.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, they were, especially sixty minutes.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were neutral fact finders. Sixty minutes. We're just
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: going to report on this, on what's happening. It is not,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you know, polarized opinion. It's very similar to our show, exactly.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Just like us, the same rigid standards.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Three hours before air, CBS News announced it was pulling
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the segment, which was detailing Sea Caught, the conditions, how
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: people are deported there, and the government's sort of involvement,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and correspondent Charnel Fonsi accused editor in chief Barry Weiss
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of pulling it for political reasons. Weiss claimed it wasn't
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: ready for air, so it was very splashy, made a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: lot of headlines. But I also think a lot of
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: people missed this, So the timing of this was very suspicious.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Trump recently attacked sixty minutes at the time that they
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: pulled the segment. Okay, so it was right before that,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and this was I mean, it's still happening. But this
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: was at a time when he was really going after
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the networks. Do you remember this, And they were all
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: threatening to slap them with fines, and they were all
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: looking to save millions, and so they were all bending
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the knee and many of them said they weren't going
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: to do like really negative coverage. He was also finally
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: lawsuits against them. Yeah, so Barry Weis denied political motives.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Critics accused CBS leadership of censorhip and anticipatory obedience with
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: It's scary, it really really is.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: We're in a bad, bad place, guys.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I saw the plane nineteen eighty four. Not to talk
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: about all my live theater experiences at once, but I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: keep thinking about nineteen eighty four, right, Like, access to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: neutral facts is scarcer and scarcer.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: People are getting information about our government from international sources.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: People are going to the BBC to find out what's
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: happening here. Yeah, people are going to the Guardian figure
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: out what's happening in the US. I got to comment
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: on my videos all the time. Oh they're reporting on
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: this totally different in Canada.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Not surprising, scary, really scary, but not surprising, not surprising
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: You were telling me when we were talking about Russia
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: years ago and the war in Ukraine.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: And you were telling me that there was this young
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: man who was Russian but living in the Ukraine, and
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: when the war in the Ukraine between Russian and un
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Paine started, he said that he was really surprised that
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: his father, who was in Russia, had not reached out
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to see how he was doing. And then he reached
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: out to his father and was like, why are I
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: don't like, I haven't heard I haven't heard from you,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And he was just like nothing, but why why about?
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: What about what? And that just goes to show you like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: if a government decides that they don't want you to
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: know about what's going on, they can set it up
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: so that you don't know.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I think that's happening with Iran in many ways. Yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Like there was a I saw over the weekend there
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: was an article the Times was reporting on all the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: buildings that Iran media says they blew up American military sites,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: and the US government was like, no, everyone's fine, nothing
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: bad's happening, nothing to see here. Obviously Iran is incentivized
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to say that they've done much more damage than they
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: actually did. Is what sort of the US government was saying?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: The Times incredible reporting cross referenced with international satellites, not
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: American satellites. They looked at global satellite footage of all
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: these sites and compared it to what Aram was saying happened,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and it was true. It was accurate, right, compared to
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the information the American government was sharing.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: And the problem with that, I mean, there are many
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: problems with that. But if we are not able to
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: trust what journalists in the United States are saying, how
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: are you to make an informed decision when you're at
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: the polls?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Truly?
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Right? Because that's where we're hearing a lot of stuff,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: right is through the news, looking going on the Internet
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: and hopefully accessing real news, not you know, Bob down
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: the block his fucking website. But how are people going
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to make decisions if the information that we're getting is
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: basically fairy tales?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, And it's like, truly, the misinformation campaigns
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: as is tremendous and the way that people still consume
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: media and consume stories and trust it, and I don't
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: want to again, like I'm thinking about what AI bought
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: is going to pick up this audio file and say,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: immigration lawyer Michael Foot says, don't trust information. Like literally
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: that's happened on some of my tiktoks. It's like a
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: fucking web crawler picks it up and then they report
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: on what I said and they never called me for
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: a quote. They're like quoting the video. It's like written
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: by a robot. But the way people consume media it
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: is trust and then later if it's debunked, question right.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And I do think there has to be the shift too.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: We kind of really do need to question what we're
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: being told.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think especially when you think about again
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: going back to CBS, this idea that since very well
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: has taken over, it does feel a little bit like
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to watch CBS the
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: way that I used to watch CBS.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: And this is why there were so many like Molly
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: jong Fast is an incredible journalist. She and many journalists
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: were freaking out about this happening at CBS then pulling
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: this sixty minutes because CBS was one of the last
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: few reiraining neutral reporters. Everyone else has fallen to this polarized.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Opinion going away or another yeah.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Reporting, and so they were. Weeks later, CBS aired the
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: segment with only minor editions referencing government responses. So they
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: eventually aired the whole thing, but after this whole drama.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: So it was originally set to air during this time
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: when there was going to be a ton of viewerships
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: because of the NFL game, and then they waited three
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: weeks and aired it during a competing game on a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: different network to basically effectively bury it.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: And they didn't renew the contract of the report.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't renew it.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't renew it.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: So she's basically fired. That's a shorthand way.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Of righting again. So what are we to do?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: So a reporter who tried really hard to do really
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: good work, detailed work, put all her energy into it,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: trying to report the facts, and she did that, which
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: is what we want reporters to do, right, And now
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: she's out of a job.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: What the fuck. Yeah, Barry Wise, what the hell?
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: She will go down in history as the American censor
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: But she doesn't care.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: She's not minted, She's got her Golden Parish exactly. She
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't care.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: She doesn't care.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: A government can censor journalists in like very specific instances,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: and there you have to go into an emergency hearing
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: in front of a judge, and it's priorate straints. You
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: basically have to argue that the government would have to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: argue that this would jeopardize national security in some way
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: that is imminent, like there's an actual operation happening and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the soldiers will be at risky if this goes to air, right,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: which is not the situation that this is not this
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: at all? Right, Right, this was just going to cause
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: outrage about Trump's immigration policy, which it should.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: It should, But that's not Barry Weiss's agenda.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: What is her agenda? I mean, my god, I mean,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean everything that I've read about her, you know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: they keep on calling her Maga codd, right, So that's
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: her agenda. That's her agenda. Her agenda is to support
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: this particular president as opposed to being an actual good
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: news person right, her her agenda is to support this
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: particular president because for whatever reason she either agrees with
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: him or whatever. And that's the problem, is not that. Listen,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: there are many people who think the president has the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: right idea right, and that's fine. You're entitled to do that. However,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: that should not stop you from doing the work that
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to be doing. So if you are a
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: doctor who is a sort of maga coated as well
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: and thinks that abortion is murder, but you've got somebody
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: in front of you who is going to die if
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: she doesn't get one, your obligation is to take care
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: of that person humanity, to do no harm. And that
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: is not what's happening. I mean, and I don't like
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: saying this, and I don't like feeling this way, this
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: this feeling of like we are fucked.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not there yet, but I might be next week.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: You never know I'm there. Let me put it this way.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like legacy media is dying in many ways.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: It has been slowly. Would be the death rattle, we
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: don't know. I do see some hope for I hate
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: saying this, but like the next generation, but also independent media,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: like there are some people that I follow where I'm like,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I really fucking trust this guy, yeah, or this person
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I like did the research, or I now have, through
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the internet, have access to this person who's a literal
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: expert who does this every day. And I've talked a
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: bit about how like I'm a little bit more ethical,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: or I do more research on my videos before I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: post them because I'm like, oh, thirty percent of gen
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: z gets their news from people like me on tikbook
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and you you know.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: And again, you're it's a platform that you have, You've
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: got a really good following. You want to do your best, right,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: It's not it's it's you know, it's different if you're
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: sort of goofing around or whatever, but you are trying
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: to provide people with real information so that they can
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: then take that information and hopefully do something good with it. Right.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: And at first I was like, oh, well, there's no
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: like checks and balances keeping me making sure that I'm
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: doing things the right way. But then it was like
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: there's none for legacy media out there.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Right, And it's also you are your own you should
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: be your own checks and balances, right.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Honestly, my fans and people that follow me are my
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: checks and balance. They clock me all the time and
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: they're like, you're wrong on that, and I'm like cool,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: issue correction or they're correcting me, correcting me in the
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: comments and like people have access to that, like I
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: do sort of love that. Yeah, anyway, so this story
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: was horrifying.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's we're going to see
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: more of this.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: You think Mary Wise is going to get ousted? Do
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: you think she'll get got? Not yet, No, because I
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: feel like probably the board Yeah all.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Right, I mean but you know what, they'll actually let
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: me let me take that back. CBS is getting trounced

  Speaker 1: religious hysterical.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: That was the best part of it though, Like I'm
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: not religious at all, but Jesus wept. Here's one that
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: I I nightcrawler his on Instagram. My god, you never

  Speaker 2: around and tell you this other thing. Yes, right, we
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: were pretty chaotic in that way.

• 55:20
  Speaker 1: other a full story, not one sitting ever. No, And
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: it's usually I call you after you'd be like, oh,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you this one.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way. Yeah, and it's worse. It's worse
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: when Alyssa's involved, well, because we're drunk. Well you know
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: what I think. The other day, we were on this
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: chat with another friend of ours and then it was
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Alyssa's birthday and then he was like, wait, you guys
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: are all tauruses. It was like, yes, and that's why
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: it's chaos all the time.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Remember when I think I got I think you got
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: kind of drunk with Alyssa that one night. Do you
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: remember that like Tuesday? But I remember being like, Melissa
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: is drunk.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Acting crazy.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: You get even more opinionated, like you're so like our
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: responses to any stimuli question is like an opinion of
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: a seven. Yes, you were an opinion of a ten.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: It was like rather than like oh, it was oh
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: like it was like everything is just amplified Melissa and HD.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so good time though, it is really fun.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I took you to boxers once you and Alyssa. I
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: took you to box Yes.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: And I am still convinced. I am still convinced that
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: in the nineties Boxers was another club. I'm sure it was,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: but like, but like the same kind of club.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: You guys don't understand. The whole time we were at Boxers,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: a gay bar with shirtless men. Melissa's like, you know,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: this used to be a different bar. I can't remember
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: the name. For two hours, you know, I don't remember
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the name.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I was googling it. I was googling it. I texted
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: an old friend of.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Mine, bronzed, lubed up, bouncing pecs surrounding her, and she's
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: googling what this establishment used to be in the nineties.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I knew it used to be something.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Everything was something else in the nineties.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Sure, but like it was. I mean, I just thought
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: it was interesting, Michael, that it was. It was a
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: gay bar today and it was like the same gay
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: bar last time in the nineties.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: A man with big bouncing double ds was doing pull
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: ups on a bar right in front of you. Yeah,
