1:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, listen, I'm going to tell you something.
1:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the guy who says, thank you for your attention to this matter.
1:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a physical therapist with 14 years.
1:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I can do his whole speech.
1:20

1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: The same crisis doctor.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's funny, because I have, you know,
1:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got all of my friends in the world who were all just as distressed as you and every person that listens to this podcast, let me just put it as every decent human being who wants to see the status quo knocked off its ass so we can see some real mother fucking change up in this fucking colonized country.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, like let's just get right down to business.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So three, three of my best friends and they, you know, they, we share stuff all the time back of fourth on our thread.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They're exhausted, they're exhausted.
2:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not in politics, but they're voters, they're free sisters, they're women of color.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They have seen their share of struggles at versity.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been through it just like all of us have, right?
2:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of them just, and she's one of the most active in the chat, she's like, I'm un-exhausted.
2:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm I'm losing faith, right?
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't blame her, but like for me, that's just like giving up not an option.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: What can I do?
2:42
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not losing faith.
2:43
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I'm not giving up.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not giving up, but they're like, they're, you know, they're bound.
2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're there.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They're there.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awful.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's awful.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's horrible.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And then epistemic, I don't know if it was this morning or last night, he was like,
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me tell you something.
3:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You're tired, but the fuck off.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would never talk to my girlfriends like that because I don't meet, you know, they're, they're going to show up.
3:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to vote to do what they do, but it's, it's what it is.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They're souls are exhausted, right, they don't mean I'm throwing in the towel.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They mean I'm, I'm like beat down.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to show up.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: and not, you know, one of them lives in Virginia.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So good luck.
3:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you can get to the polls, you know, or whatever, and I, and I, but I was listening to him because a lot of people will say, I mean, I know people who say, I just don't vote, I don't believe in the system and it's like, oh, okay.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It isn't.
3:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this is some believes in you, baby, right, the system believes in you.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So we, we are going to show up.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: We are.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We are forcing.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exhausting.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exhausting.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so crushing, right?
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: But man, hungry, look at what hungry did.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the family games, Kimberly.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Fifteen years victim up on ruled that country.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, and those Hungarians walked up, hill and took him out.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So guess what?
4:17
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna do it too.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But I gotta tell you.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm going to I want to bring this to the for just because I'm I'm thinking of this like I'm 60 years old.
4:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I just started my own consulting firm.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be able to work with whether it's in a fundraising capacity or an advocacy capacity or a relationship strategy capacity with organizations and causes and people.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: who want to see the shift happen in their lifetime.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I'm going to be, I always, like, now I'm looking at this, like, I'm in the last third of my life, right, because I'll piece out at 90 and I'll be fine with that.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But, like, I've got, I've got a couple of decades left in me to get gnarly.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I was in the gym boxing this morning.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, come at me, right?
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Come at me.
5:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody in the same company is, you need to bottle what you have.
5:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, what do you remember the movie's 48 hours?
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
5:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Lack of pussy makes you brave, okay?
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So I kind of like in that it's that mentality, right?
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Go buy yourself something pretty.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Lack of pussy makes you brave.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I can hilarious.
5:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we are right now, okay?
5:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a true bitch.
5:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in, in, in, in, in, and guess what?
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm tired of lacking decency, I'm tired of seeing the same, you know, people in our party, people who claim to believe what we believe, you know, get down to get down to the basics.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: What's wrong with the way things are being done here?
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The poor are getting for the rich are getting richer people who claim to be progressive will do anything they can to hang on and to not really look beyond like these are my views.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I support abortion.
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yay, but you know what do you want to see the
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: the the four child of an immigrant living across town from you have the same access to to public education that the kids in the good zip codes have.
6:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to watch people make a living wage job that that that that comes with insurance for their families?
6:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That's called labor unions everybody.
6:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want universal healthcare?
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Should we all be able to go to the doctor?
6:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, like they do in fucking France and every other developed country in this world.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: We are fucked up.
6:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
6:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So if she does fucked up, it really is.
6:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm adding so much to this.
6:54
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm on a roll.
6:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying right now.
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I'm home in the house by myself, but I'm putting my earpods in because I know today is going to be a pacer.
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so what do we need to see?
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we need to see?
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there are plenty of amazing leaders, amazing leaders.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm spoiled.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a mayor called Barbara Lee.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got a Congress member named Latifa Simon.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I got an assembly member named Buffy Whips who grew up in a fucking trailer.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
7:25
[SPEAKER_00]: These are people who are putting their principles.
7:28
[SPEAKER_00]: before, you know, what does this mean for me?
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Does this mean a paycheck for me?
7:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They're living for the moment to try to make change today every day, by the way, they're all women.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I got, I got Senator Jesse out again, who's the child of farm workers,
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's a first generation Mexican American who's my senator, my state senator, who's out there every day, working towards the right stuff.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So these are the people that I want to see.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I want people with lived experience.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: People who maybe have had a second chance, right?
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: People who have lived through, you know, the powdered milk and subsidizing days.
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay,
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: legal status in this country, but who work and work and help us build and help those people who have all the money in the power maintain it.
8:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've got one of my, one of my tried and true
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: greatest women in my life.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew her before I went to work for Planned Parenthood and then we worked together at Planned Parenthood.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: She was a union organizer.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: She was the director of public affairs at Planned Parenthood, playing it, you know, standing up in, you know, in the public forums at, you know, city councils all through the district to fight for, you know, reproductive freedom rights and health care for it.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So she's, she's the badass.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well,
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, I've talked about the voter protection project before on this podcast and I'm the president of that pack and we've raised over 20 million dollars since 2019 playing in congressional and senatorial races across the country.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So the P.P.
9:13
[SPEAKER_00]: said, Lauren Babb Tomlinson, this is the woman I'm talking about who I worked with.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: She should run for Congress.
9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, she is in a newly drawn California fake.
9:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You prop 50 districts, California six.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The region was Kamala plus eight.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, in the last presidential.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So the representative who's running against her, the Republican is Kevin Kiley, although because he's a douche and he's a grifter, he changed his political affiliation to independent because it's a comma plus eight district.
9:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, babs running for Congress.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, there are 435 congressional districts in this country.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess how many
10:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, are I have been an opportunity to go from red to blue with a black woman running guess how many I'm 435 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: B is the person who I'm going to put my money on, who I'm going to knock doors for, who I have been, you know, helping to raise money for her campaign, because that's the change that we need to see.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And if we keep electing these recycled, oh, I ran for mayor and lost, oh, I turned out of the assembly, but I need to be, I need to remain, you know, in the public eye, but what are you doing?
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing to change?
11:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done.
11:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with those kind of candidates.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's part of the buck, the fuck up strategy that we all need to pay attention to as well.
11:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I, you know,
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm optimistic it's gonna be a battle because of course there's an old, you know, Democrat who, like I said, you know, been in the public eye, got a bunch of dirty corporate money coming in at the 11th hour because Lawrence got over a million bucks in the bank.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this was when this woman is kicking, ask, she's in the streets, please tell her story.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's resonating with people and the status quo is scared.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where we, that's where we need them to be.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay, 100%.
11:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of want to remind people that Stephanie really needs more passion, right?
11:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, you know, the thing is, is people have a tendency.
11:59
[SPEAKER_02]: to vote once every four or two years or whatever in the midterms than the general.
12:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not enough.
12:06
[SPEAKER_02]: These days it's not enough.
12:07
[SPEAKER_02]: You look at someone like Fetterman and I'm not saying phone calls to Fetterman would have made all the difference.
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what the fuck is wrong with that guy because I didn't know like a stroke could make you into a fascist, but whatever.
12:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Still, we have to keep on them because too many of our representatives, whether they're senators or whatever.
12:23
[SPEAKER_02]: They are not always doing what we want them to do.
12:27
[SPEAKER_02]: So we need to tell them instead of screaming at each other and get it, you know, I mean, I'm sure get angry at oligarch media, but these people work for us.
12:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So we need to take the responsibility of being their employers and that means showing up more than two times a year.
12:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to
12:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to say one thing now, I'm going to be really brief on this, but it's very important to me.
12:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And I spoke about it in my patrons only, but I'm going to talk about it here like I said, I'll be brief, but my friend, Darius,
13:00
[SPEAKER_02]: is being kicked out he's being he lives with this mom he's autistic they don't have a lot of money his mother has been through tons of trauma in her life and they're being kicked out of their home and they need help and I I'm doing everything I can but people can't people don't want to share go fund me's because they don't know him and I've got it up to about 3300 he needs about 10 grand I would be happy with about eight grand
13:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he could do it, but he needs it, and you know, and everybody's just, I've tapped out pretty much what I can do, and I need you guys to step up.
13:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I did write a favor on my Patreon.
13:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's called a favor and it's got his go fund me in it.
13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all over my social medians.
13:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to keep doing it and I hate bugging people, but really, but I mean, you got to do it, babe.
13:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care like for myself.
13:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I care for him.
13:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I know he's checking this go fun to me and he's seeing it stalling.
13:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I mean, it's it we just put it out.
13:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I think on Sunday and you know, we got a really good amount.
14:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I think on Monday.
14:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I woke up, but it was like over 2000 somebody had donated great 100.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: That's great.
14:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's just it's stressful to me because I know he is.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: He's very upset.
14:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, I know he's doing everything he can.
14:16
[SPEAKER_02]: He's talking to the mayor.
14:17
[SPEAKER_02]: He's talking to city council.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave him numbers.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: What to do for people who have issues with homelessness.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's doing everything he can do, but he just needs our help.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to keep asking for it.
14:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't give a shit if I'm annoying.
14:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just for him.
14:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, I'm going to let it go.
14:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But please help if you can.
14:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And the other thing I'm going to say is, if you have friends who have money,
14:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I can, I vouch for this guy.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You could just say, look, if you give whatever you can, I know there are people out there who can't afford it.
14:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry about it.
14:52
[SPEAKER_02]: But I know there are people who can give bigger chunks of money.
14:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what we need right now.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We need a few big chunks.
14:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, I'm going to shut up now.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, I love it.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love you for caring.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Gary is great and people need help and people are afraid to ask for it.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is, it is the thought of an all list with this mother is too much.
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
15:11
[UNKNOWN]: No.
15:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So moving on again.
15:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
15:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Why aren't you more passionate Stephanie?
15:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus Christ.
15:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Wake up a little.
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I've been up since 5 30 my time.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But listen, it's because it's it.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the moment.
15:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
15:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just teasing you, but yes, of course it is.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I'm going to go back to Hungary because I just want to point out, I want to make two points here.
15:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've made them before, but I'm going to make them again.
15:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, Nazi Germany did not have a resistance.
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have a resistance in the media.
15:42
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have a resistance with the general population.
15:46
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have it in the governments or the court or any of it.
15:49
[SPEAKER_02]: They had no resistance we do.
15:52
[SPEAKER_02]: We have big huge fat resistance.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Also with Hungary.
15:57
[SPEAKER_02]: the, you know, or bond absolutely controlled like I don't know 80% of the media, but there was still a small independent media, which is what we also have and so, you know, the end what happened was everybody in fucking hungry shut up to vote.
16:13
[SPEAKER_02]: it was like 80% or something like that.
16:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So even though he rigged the election, yeah, he was just going to say even though the elections were rigged.
16:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It was too big to rig.
16:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what we need here.
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And people say, oh, you know, Paul, I know nobody who's listening to this show is saying this, but
16:33
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, that politics, I don't pay attention to politics and it's like, but politics pays attention to you and it's going to fucking rule your life.
16:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So you can sit there and have this blog they bullshit attitude like, oh, I'm too good for politics, but then when you can't get an abortion, when you can't pay your rent, when you can't afford groceries, well, then what?
16:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It, it power is within the people.
16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at fucking hungry.
16:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at hungry.
16:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I am sorry.
16:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So fucking pumped.
16:58
[SPEAKER_02]: When I saw hungry, it was like, oh my god, I know we're going to do this.
17:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, though, I am going to be shitting bricks on voting day in November because we've had so now voting day has to be used to be fun.
17:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if you lost, I mean, you got disappointed, but you weren't terrified.
17:17
[SPEAKER_02]: You were just like, oh, fuck.
17:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But now it's like terrifying.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So we didn't talk about trauma.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, PTSD is full blown.
17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, since 2015 we've been in Pure Hell.
17:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I saw someone, I saw someone in today on social media.
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like, you know, I never hear anybody on the mainstream media say Biden.
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: They just say the former administration and I don't listen to legacy media.
17:44
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can't validate that, but I would not be surprised because it's just, it's pissing me off so much.
17:50
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm really glad to see because I'm seeing like my just,
17:56
[SPEAKER_02]: a number of independent media is stepping up.
18:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know where we're going to land.
18:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how this all, you know, I mean, everything's being gutted.
18:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Susan's surrounded and fucking bitch got away.
18:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, everything's being gutted.
18:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything's falling apart.
18:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Which means, which means?
18:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an opportunity for us to rebuild and build, like Biden said, build back better.
18:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But when we build back better, we have to be smarter because what Biden did, even though it was wonderful, it was for the people, I think the emphasis should have been more because it's all been reversed now.
18:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It should have been on, you know, and I know he had a limited
18:36
[SPEAKER_02]: amount of power to do stuff like this, but to start strengthening, you know, what's what was weak and what gives Donald Trump.
18:45
[SPEAKER_02]: power that he shouldn't have.
18:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Biden couldn't have in those four years.
18:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he couldn't have done it all.
18:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that he could have prevented, you know, this Donald Trump situation.
18:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But what we need from Democrats moving forward is, yeah, do good for the people.
19:02
[SPEAKER_02]: We need all the stuff for the people, but we need to change the way our government works because there are too many
19:09
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, traditional norms that we're just all about the word and trust and trust fucking we have pedophiles running this country and it's like pedophiles, pedophiles, pedophologists, yeah, yep, it's it's absolutely it's a nightmare that I don't think we could have even made up no.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, there's no, I mean, I couldn't imagine anything like this, but I think, okay, we're in it, and there is a reason.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And the reason is not some grand divine reason.
19:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's us, we're the reason.
19:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the choices that we have made.
19:45
[SPEAKER_02]: But
19:47
[SPEAKER_02]: There is a reason that this is happening and the reason is we haven't really done what we need to do is citizens to pay attention and you know I a lot of it has to do with the disinformation of the right wing disinformation fucking I mean everything machine.
20:05
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's it we haven't done enough though, whether it's us the people or our people in our government, we should be regulating the internet, we need to regulate AI, you know, because everybody, what's happening with AI and I'm totally bearing off, but it's like, I don't think AI has to be our enemy.
20:23
[SPEAKER_02]: We just have to, we have to regulate it.
20:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So just like we've been with television because.
20:28
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of benefits from AI.
20:30
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of really great things that can come from it.
20:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like with the internet, the internet is fucking horrible.
20:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's horrible in some places and then it's great in other places.
20:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You and I met because of the internet.
20:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Bob and I met because of the internet.
20:45
[SPEAKER_02]: There are all kinds of really positive things that have happened because of the internet and there's all kinds of really negative things.
20:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So, AI, you know, people demonize AI, but who's running AI?
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Paypal!
20:57
[SPEAKER_02]: people, so AI in and of itself is not a danger, it's the people behind it.
21:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And so therefore that needs to be regulated.
21:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's never going to go away.
21:08
[SPEAKER_02]: We're never going to get rid of it.
21:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And it does pose a threat.
21:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So we need to figure, you know, I mean, I know that.
21:15
[SPEAKER_02]: places like Norway, they're teaching their kids in school about disinformation and how to spot it.
21:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know that they've done anything really with AI, but I guarantee you they will.
21:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Because these countries that are a little more advanced than we are, a little more progressive than we are in a lot of areas.
21:35
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they're looking at and saying, all right, we can make this work, but we have to have it so there's some rules.
21:42
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know it's like I don't think we should always demonize AI.
21:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I really just don't and I don't hate it.
21:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate the people who I hate when I should say people abuse it because that's the real problem it's like they say the love of money is the root to all evil not necessarily because you could you could be somebody who really loves having money and be incredibly generous it's money is a fucking concept it's all people it's people
22:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And every, you know, it's people are behind all the things that we love to demonize, or blame.
22:12
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's us.
22:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just us.
22:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It all starts in our fucking minds.
22:18
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where everything fucking begins.
22:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We get ideas, and then we act on the ideas.
22:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes our ideas are selfish, and cruel, and horrible.
22:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, we just, we need to regulate that shit.
22:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I just went off of my little AI tangent, which I wasn't expecting to do.
22:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Although, you know, and I will say, I use AI because I'm losing weight and all I really do is like I entered my body information, you know, my height, my weight, my age and the fact that I've.
22:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got that thing called olfactory hallucinations.
22:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So the long and short of it is if I lose weight too fast, I know that there's estrogen is stored in fat.
23:04
[SPEAKER_02]: So if I lose the fat too fast, I lose too much estrogen and then that's when I get that smell.
23:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I was like asking AI, how much can I eat and still lose weight?
23:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's funny though because I entered something into it to, it was like a food, a nutrition label, and it gave me the wrong information like three times.
23:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And it had all the math right there and I was like, you're AI.
23:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You should know this.
23:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And I got really mad at it and I said, fuck you.
23:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it just, I told A, I did you write that.
23:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I absolutely told the fucking nothing, fuck you.
23:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it was so funny because it came back with, it just repeated what it just said.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, have you been programmed to ignore me when I tell you to fuck off it?
23:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And it says, no, I just will not escalate.
23:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
23:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
23:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That was like fighting with that.
24:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, but the thing about AI is, I mean, definitely you cannot rely on it, like I know there's some story about a woman who took a picture of some kind of vegetation and it was poison and she asked AI what it was and it told her it like reiterated that it was carrots or something and it turned out to be poison so you know, but
24:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't ever fucking rely on AI for things like that.
24:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's like, right.
24:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I can make mistakes.
24:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you have to go into it knowing that it is imperfect.
24:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And there is no soul there.
24:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the other funny thing is I wrote something that it wasn't that funny, right?
24:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just some dumb thing that I thought.
24:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was funny enough.
24:52
[SPEAKER_02]: So I go over to AI and I go, is this funny?
24:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it tells me why it's not funny.
24:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it gives me examples of what's funny.
25:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And oh, my God, it was so not funny.
25:03
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so hilarious.
25:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so funny, not humor.
25:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was like a not human thing.
25:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Because like mine was more, I can't remember what I said, but it was something, it was like one of my stupid existential quotes or posts, something like,
25:19
[SPEAKER_02]: if you are, if you're, if you're wind, you can't feel it yourself or something stupid like that.
25:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what I said, but I was just like, it was really windy outside and I just thought, well, wind can't feel itself.
25:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I wanted to make some stupid joke.
25:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was like, it finally said, well, it's right if that's what you're going for.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, yes, I want to be right.
25:42
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just so funny that AI was like giving me really lame things to post and stand and I was like, oh my god, this is so ridiculous.
25:50
[SPEAKER_02]: But just FYI, I would never use AI to write.
25:53
[SPEAKER_02]: The only thing that I would ever use it for is to clean up my grammar.
25:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But never to write anything for me because I don't believe in that.
26:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't believe in using AI obviously for the, you know,
26:05
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, using it for people.
26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So both of my kids are filmmakers.
26:11
[SPEAKER_00]: They're artists and they they don't even they won't and their students my son's actually graduating college next Thursday.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god and my daughter's graduate school at on the 31st.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But they won't just on principle right because they're so true to their art.
26:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wouldn't want to use it for art.
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: There's one way to use it.
26:32
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't even use it to like research it for school and I'm like, okay.
26:38
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's better because I, you know, I'm glad that they have now like AI detecting material because kid.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
26:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That would scare the shit out of me.
26:46
[SPEAKER_02]: If I have a kid right now, oh my god, the AI could just make it so they don't have to work at all.
26:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So no, I would hate that.
26:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I can only imagine
26:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I would have totally used it.
27:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of course.
27:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I was not elastic.
27:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I was smart.
27:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I applied myself, I got good grades.
27:07
[SPEAKER_02]: But I just didn't want to apply myself.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, because you wanted to smoke a joint and go to a football game.
27:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, please.
27:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually wanted to go to the beach.
27:14
[SPEAKER_02]: because I live like, yeah, I want to go to the beat, but Bob is always so jealous of that, because I grew up unfortunately in torrents, but I didn't grow up in torrents.
27:22
[SPEAKER_02]: That was one of the places that I grew up, but torrents is very fucking Trumpian and white.
27:27
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's time, yes, but at the time, I didn't pay any attention to that because I was a teenager.
27:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's funny because I had come from
27:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Where was I?
27:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to school in Hollywood.
27:39
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, well, I was going to school in Silver Lake.
27:42
[SPEAKER_02]: And Silver Lake, I was one of the only white people in my school.
27:46
[SPEAKER_02]: There was like majority.
27:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say it was majority Asian and Mexican.
27:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Some blacks.
27:53
[SPEAKER_02]: very few blacks and whites, mostly Asian and Mexican.
27:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And so then I had gone from that.
27:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And there were like, there was the stoners in the cellos gangs.
28:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, they were for real.
28:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And they went to, and like, there was the, we are school is the stoners.
28:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, I hung out with a bunch of the stoners.
28:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And had a crush on Alberto Escobar who was like, the cutest one, oh my god, even my mom saw him.
28:17
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like, oh my god, he's so cute.
28:18
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like totally hell yeah, but anyway, so then we go to torrents and the reason she moved to torrents was because I was going to have to go to Hollywood high and at the time There were prostitutes and and you know There were whatever they're called jigalose or whatever not jigalose.
28:36
[SPEAKER_02]: What are they called?
28:37
[SPEAKER_02]: The process of the prostitutes
28:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, thank you.
28:41
[SPEAKER_02]: There were pimps and prostitutes all over the school, like right outside the school.
28:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And I told my mom I'm like, I'm not fucking going there.
28:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So and she was never going to let me go there.
28:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So we moved to Torrance, which, you know, was like by the ocean and all that stuff.
28:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, holy crap.
28:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know why I started talking about that.
29:00
[SPEAKER_02]: But, um,
29:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, we were talking about how we weren't scholastic and all right, and then like the fucking ocean is right there.
29:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was yeah, it was my school on my break at school.
29:10
[SPEAKER_02]: My girlfriend had a 57 silver Chevy and we would all get into that and go to the beach and have lunch and I tell these things to Bob and he gets so fucking jealous.
29:24
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I would have failed out of high school if I if I had if I had lived to where you lived.
29:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And actually I did one year I got three fails, but that was the time I was going to the beach that was just because I was that was because the school I had gone to before was really the weirdest school ever and it was like all schools are about popularity but this school was so heavy and popular that I'd never seen anything like it and so I was I wasn't like obsessed with being popular I was obsessed with hanging out with the popular crowd which I did and then I failed three classes.
29:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see any way, but okay, let's get back to more important things going on.
30:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I do, you know, I was looking today for any kind of results of that May date last Friday.
30:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't find anything, but I did see that, let's see, I think there were 5,000 May days strong actions across the country.
30:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, it's organized reported.
30:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So, organizers reported and this was put out by what he called it, indivisible.
30:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So, we've had other days where people have, you know, not gone shopping.
30:31
[SPEAKER_02]: We've had these days of
30:34
[SPEAKER_02]: boycotts or, you know, I don't know what, I can't, like a black out day, but this was the first time I believe in divisible put one on and, you know, we got eight million people showing up in the last march.
30:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of people found out about this.
30:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It would be interesting to see what the numbers were because I participated.
30:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Usually I go grocery shopping on Friday and I did not.
30:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I waited until Saturday, which I fucking hate.
30:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But I did it.
31:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you got to, you know, sometimes you got to, you know, do things that we don't like to do, right?
31:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, every single time we've had one of these things, I don't buy a goddamn thing.
31:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, and it's like it's easier for me just to go on Friday.
31:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate going on Saturday.
31:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.
31:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's, that's, I have two days off.
31:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like to enjoy them without having to fucking go grocery shopping.
31:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate grocery shopping.
31:25
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
31:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So much, I hate it.
31:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you like, okay, it's so funny because my thing now is when I'm done working, I want like on the on the week nights and you know weekends, I like to I like to get shit done around my house that that I have like fever for that in the morning like Saturday morning like that, you know, cleaning is all up.
31:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I want to sit the hell down.
31:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
31:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And do what I want.
31:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
31:51
[SPEAKER_00]: What I want to do.
31:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And during the week, though, I have a chair.
31:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, like I have a chair that I sit in last night.
32:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I finished work.
32:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I got out of my work clothes.
32:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I had been I was out doing appointments and stuff.
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I started my home consultant.
32:09
[SPEAKER_00]: See.
32:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway.
32:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I took off my little kitten heels and my suit and blah, blah, blah, I washed my face at quarter to six, go to on my night gown and went to my chair, go to blanky in my lap.
32:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Tied up a couple of loose ends.
32:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you how it blanky.
32:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, blanky on my lap.
32:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was a little chilly, like the weather's been sort of weird here.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I, my husband, you know, my husband cooks.
32:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody that's listening to this, they know that Zach Walton is a cook.
32:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And he came and presented me.
32:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He puts a napkin on his arm like on his forearm like a waiter and then presents me with the plate.
32:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had, we used to call it couch dinner now it's chair dinner during the week sat down and I ate work tenderloin and a bunch of sides.
33:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, this, this is exactly what I want to be doing at 60 years old.
33:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Poppy is a clam.
33:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And then my adorable teeny daughter comes sometimes and she'll sit and she'll have her phone in her hand and she's she wants to show me hilarious videos on Instagram and TikTok and so she'll send the arm of the chair and just completely encroach on my physical being and I love it.
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: These are the things I like.
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I put on a documentary.
33:33
[SPEAKER_00]: and I moved over to the couch and then I doubled the blankets within that went upstairs and got a pillow from my bed because I knew I was going to settle in.
33:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Fell asleep in the dive was a three-part documentary series.
33:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing was over.
33:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was just like that to me.
33:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I want to do at night.
33:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
33:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hi.
33:56
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I want to do and that's kind of what I do except you need to
34:01
[SPEAKER_02]: what it's good it's four parts man four oh heaven what where is it I can't remember just look it up but it's I think it's HBO but it might be Netflix I don't remember but um it's really good and you know it's fascinating I mean I'm all into it you know how we manifest
34:19
[SPEAKER_02]: like how to get there.
34:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was listening to the first episode and boy, I mean, he just he tells you how everything manifested.
34:29
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, for instance, he had two vocal coaches that basically said don't quit your day job.
34:34
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just like, yeah, whatever.
34:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And then maybe Jay, yeah, and he just, you know, in the beginning, he was, he didn't know what was doing.
34:43
[SPEAKER_02]: He just, he was just new.
34:44
[SPEAKER_02]: He had the voice.
34:46
[SPEAKER_02]: He just hadn't found it yet.
34:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, um, but he fucking stuck to it.
34:51
[SPEAKER_02]: He made his decision.
34:53
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what I want.
34:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And he had people telling him, no, it's not going to happen for you.
34:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's just like, whatever get out of my way.
35:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's how
35:05
[SPEAKER_02]: there is definitely the mortal life in meets the eye thing because you got to trust sometimes which you can't see but that's what he did.
35:12
[SPEAKER_02]: He just put his trust in himself and whatever he was met with, if it didn't fit what he wanted, he just discarded it and found something else.
35:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Until he got to where he wanted to be.
35:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's like there's, you know, people talk about manifesting as if it's the spell that you cast.
35:30
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not.
35:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a series of decisions.
35:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And it all stems from our like how we feel our emotional states and our belief system.
35:40
[SPEAKER_02]: If we don't believe we can do something, then we're not going to do it.
35:44
[SPEAKER_02]: He just ignored whatever fear, whatever doubt, whatever limitation was throughout whether it was from his own mind or from other people, he ignored it.
35:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of the time we listen to the limitation and we go, well, I can't, I used to constantly, I always had reasons why I was not going to succeed.
36:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I can't because of this and I because I'm an independent author and people don't buy books when you're independent and I can't do this and I don't have this and here's the reasons why I'm going to fail and this and that's what I would go on I would constantly go on why I might these stupid limiting beliefs and so what I did was I acted from those beliefs and he acted from the beliefs that I'm going to figure this out and I don't fucking care what it takes.
36:29
[SPEAKER_02]: and he's amazing because he's so fucking famous and he's so talented and what I would really appreciate about him is that he recognizes his value but he has no airs, you know, he like he knows he's the shit, but he also doesn't take it for granted and he's not a dick about it.
36:48
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just very serious about being good at what he does, but I think you would
36:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got to say though Richie Sambora needs a fucking haircut that all do I don't understand this idea.
37:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I get it when you were young and oh my god John Bongeau Be was so pretty.
37:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I never realized what he was.
37:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh stop.
37:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
37:08
[SPEAKER_02]: He was he was like masculine and pretty
37:11
[SPEAKER_02]: How is that?
37:11
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like, oh my God, he was so pretty.
37:14
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, you look so pretty.
37:18
[SPEAKER_02]: You look at their hair back in the day fine.
37:21
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, what the fuck are you doing, Richie?
37:24
[SPEAKER_02]: The stupid haircut that he has is like,
37:26
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, stop doing it.
37:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop!
37:30
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks so dumb.
37:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And John Bond Joven needs a fucking haircut.
37:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I love him to pieces.
37:36
[SPEAKER_02]: But look at what Bruce Springsteen does.
37:38
[SPEAKER_02]: That works.
37:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks like Bruce.
37:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce looks fantastic.
37:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Bruce Springsteen.
37:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I love him.
37:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
37:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I got his essential Bruce Springstein and somewhere in the 2000s and that had all of the lyrics to all of the songs, so you know, I'm like obsessed with knowing every word to every song.
37:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't you miss liner notes in the, in the freak out album and in the, yes, yes.
38:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I like I was like, oh my god, this man is a poet.
38:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I always liked Bruce Springsteen, but I never like super duper loved him until I got the essential Bruce Springsteen and I'm like, oh my god, he blew me away.
38:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't realize he was such a fucking, I mean, everyone else knew, but I figured it out for me.
38:22
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, dude, this man, he is a poet.
38:26
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, he's, he's, he's, he's just beyond and did you hear, we're not even talking about politics right now, but did you hear about August?
38:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you hear about August?
38:35
[SPEAKER_02]: What's now?
38:35
[SPEAKER_00]: What's now?
38:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Not in August.
38:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Ted Lasso.
38:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
38:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I know.
38:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait.
38:42
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what they're going to have.
38:43
[SPEAKER_02]: We're back with her boyfriend.
38:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw them kissing in the trash.
38:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, crazy.
38:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes.
38:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: No Jamie cart.
38:52
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
38:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
38:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
38:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Who else is no.
38:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we did this.
38:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and that last episode as if like, hey, more is coming.
39:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember?
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we can't.
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe he'll come.
39:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
39:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he'll come.
39:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe he'll come.
39:04
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
39:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but he's teaching a girl's team and I've heard that people are upset about that.
39:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh my god, seriously.
39:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's upset about go to us?
39:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll ask holes on the internet who have to be assholes about everything.
39:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, we'll pick check this out.
39:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I was in London last week.
39:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
39:22
[SPEAKER_00]: For the was a port of Oakland.
39:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Should you go to the phone booth?
39:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you go to his old home or to his where he lived?
39:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, so I stupidly made the mistake of saying to we had a driver that was taking us and he goes, I'm going to take you girl on a scenic tour from Heathrow to London.
39:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We were staying right at Trusfowler Square, and so he was amazing, and we got him on the way back to his incredible.
39:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And he showed us everything, and it was wonderful, and I said to him,
39:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm embarrassed to tiny bit, but not really.
39:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I go, I said, can you tell me the neighborhood where Ted Lasseau and Coach Beard lives and where we're fictional AFC Richmond play, he goes, honey, that is it, he didn't say, honey, but he's like, that's all made up.
40:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, God damn it.
40:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but yeah, the phone booth still exists, but they're filled with shit.
40:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But London's great.
40:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we were at this aviation conference and it was at Arsenal State, United Arab Emirates Stadium where Arsenal plays.
40:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not just Arsenal, the football club, the men, it's the women's and the women were the 20, 25 champions of Europe last year.
40:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So they take it real seriously, and I'm not, you know, who's mad about women playing professionals?
40:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even care.
40:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even care to know.
40:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know.
40:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
40:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's so ridiculous how people get, I don't know, like they want to shit on everything, you know, whether, you know, pop culture, obviously it happens with politics, but you get into pop culture and I mean, I think people are even more vicious to each other about things like that.
41:14
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Bob's in that whole marvel, well, maybe not the whole marvel world, but whether it's Star Trek or whatever, or Star Wars and there's some big fucking fight on the internet, it's like he's like, I can't even deal with these people.
41:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it's a fictional show.
41:30
[SPEAKER_02]: How can you be so angry over things?
41:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's like, I will never understand.
41:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's funny because Bob is the kind of person like, we'll be watching a series of, whether it's succession or whatever.
41:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Some series will like really get us and we love it so much.
41:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, he'll start telling me later on.
41:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you could tell he's gone and he's looked up the actors.
41:53
[SPEAKER_02]: He's looked up, I never have done that in my whole life.
41:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my god.
41:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was always not you know, I have to pause to get to get with it before I watch the rest of the damn show.
42:06
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what we're watching.
42:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We started watching last night is widows bay.
42:11
[SPEAKER_02]: We started that too.
42:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's let's let's fun.
42:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of like it.
42:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, because we're like we're we've been having a thing where we don't know what to watch.
42:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been rewatching a show called Life and Beth with Amy Schumer and I do enjoy that.
42:25
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I would love to see a show with Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham.
42:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they would be fantastic and it's like it's so interesting because so many people hate both of them.
42:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And
42:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say living for Lena Dunham right now.
42:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too hard.
42:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Bob was the one who got me to watch girls.
42:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And I will admit that I, at the time, got sucked into that pendulum of let's all hate on Lena Dunham.
42:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't even, I didn't have a reason.
42:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I just didn't like her.
42:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't want to watch girls.
42:59
[SPEAKER_02]: So I had no reason.
43:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I just allowed the collective to decide for me.
43:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Which I wouldn't have admitted then because I didn't think of it that way, but now I can look back and go, yeah, I allowed the collective to just make me have an opinion about her anyway, so then he's like, I really think he will like girls.
43:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So I started watching girls and now I think it's like one of the fucking best shows I've ever seen.
43:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I look at Amy Schumer and they've all come down on Amy Schumer and I don't even fucking know why.
43:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I always liked her.
43:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I know she's recently lost a lot of weight.
43:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she did Ozenpecker something like that.
43:32
[SPEAKER_02]: But she's so fucking funny.
43:34
[SPEAKER_02]: They're both so funny.
43:35
[SPEAKER_02]: They're both so smart.
43:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they would really be great as sisters or something like a roommates or like business partners or something.
43:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I would fucking love that.
43:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see.
43:45
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've been but life in Beth is fun.
43:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And so like we've been watching that and we're like we don't,
43:52
[SPEAKER_02]: waiting for like we're waiting for Ted Lasso and we're waiting for the pit, of course.
43:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I can't believe how much I love the pit.
44:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I love and I love what is her name, La Nessa?
44:04
[SPEAKER_02]: What's her name?
44:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Catherine, let us.
44:07
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, she's my idol.
44:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot get enough of her.
44:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Dang, she's like, she's like, yeah.
44:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like to call people queen.
44:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I will call her queen.
44:17
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I say queen all the damn time.
44:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Bow asked to her.
44:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love that she is aging naturally.
44:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think she's absolutely beautiful.
44:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the first thing that I, when I first saw her, I was like, I wouldn't look like her.
44:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I was like, I want to look, I want to be her.
44:36
[SPEAKER_02]: She just had the coolest look.
44:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, she is so fucking great.
44:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love her so much with David J.
44:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Go.
44:43
[SPEAKER_02]: David, David, David, take it from your will.
44:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I can't even do it.
44:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But that she nailed that Pittsburgh license license license.
44:50
[SPEAKER_00]: What the hell did I just say license?
44:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Accent help me.
44:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so wait, let me think.
44:59
[SPEAKER_02]: We've actually had some, I want to report on this.
45:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me go to my Facebook page, because I posted it.
45:04
[SPEAKER_02]: We had two good things happen yesterday.
45:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so we have,
45:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I hope I'm saying his name like Chedric Green wins the Michigan State Senate race.
45:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Woohoo!
45:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So he won, but he's the Democrat.
45:21
[SPEAKER_02]: He won by he had 22,000 votes.
45:25
[SPEAKER_02]: The Republican had 14,000 votes.
45:27
[SPEAKER_02]: So yay, and the independent only got 610.
45:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Democrat got the most votes.
45:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So we keep seeing this, like we keep seeing much higher numbers of Democrats voting than Republicans.
45:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and then I don't know if you've ever been shared brown.
45:44
[SPEAKER_02]: He got the nomination and he got it with 149,000.
45:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So unfortunately, the Vivek Ramaswami
45:53
[SPEAKER_02]: What, what are you, Ramelema Ding Dong?
45:55
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I said.
45:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess he got the nomination for governor.
45:59
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's not good.
46:01
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully he won't win because he's a fucking lunatic.
46:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God.
46:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've been beyond.
46:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, beyond.
46:08
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, I think we're seeing continually like Democrats outperforming, always winning,
46:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just, I don't know, man.
46:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel really good about where we're going, but then I feel like, okay, what's the demented man gonna do?
46:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause I know every time I go to Epistemic Crisis doctor, I see you've already liked it.
46:35
[SPEAKER_02]: So I know you're watching him.
46:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause I pretty much go to him every day just to listen to what he did.
46:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't gone today.
46:42
[SPEAKER_02]: But,
46:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm buying into everything like I know he's right.
46:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that everything he's saying is right on about Trump's health.
46:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I didn't, you know what?
46:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be quick because I talked about this last week, so I don't want to bore everybody.
46:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But really, really, really quick, there's this other woman who I listened to on TikTok and she was going over the time that he did the corner store.
47:06
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, first he said corner, then he said quarter, then he said quarter.
47:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So corner, quarter, corner.
47:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And so she talked about that and she talked about the fact that his, um,
47:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Salabary Glent, involuntary Salabary Glent are not working or swallowy.
47:21
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it was.
47:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Involuntary swallow effects, not working.
47:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, for the longest time, we've heard this live a polling in his mouth.
47:28
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why he keeps keeps going all the time.
47:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So, in this particular video, when he was talking about the corner store,
47:34
[SPEAKER_02]: He really was pulling his saliva so much saliva and she was noting it and she was talking about this thing.
47:41
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a word.
47:42
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a medical term for not being able to say certain kinds of like because I guess there's a test where you go.
47:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
48:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, okay, what is the, how long do someone have if they're 80 years old, they have congestive heart failure, because we know he has it.
48:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Poor diet, you know, frontal, temporal, frontal, temporal dementia.
48:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I listed, you know, I listed that thing in the, the swallowing shit.
48:24
[SPEAKER_02]: And basically it said six months.
48:27
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they, you know, they're giving about six
48:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and you know what, as far as the epithelian, I've said this to you that I don't think the doctors should have put a date on anything because nobody can tell.
48:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody can tell, you know, you can look at the most sick.
48:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a look at fucking Jimmy Carter lasted a year and hospice, you know, he was like, he was on death store every fucking day for a year.
48:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So we just we can't put
48:58
[SPEAKER_02]: this year is going to be the year.
49:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's going to go away.
49:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if he's going to go away because he's dead or his mind just fucking ends.
49:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But every single day he's getting worse.
49:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And then did you see in that 60 minutes video when he was sitting down?
49:18
[SPEAKER_02]: did you see that?
49:19
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
49:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
49:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at that.
49:21
[SPEAKER_02]: They took a picture from the side and I don't know there's something in his pants and it's not just diapers because it's it's like a whole shelf back there.
49:30
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like if you Google Trump sitting down for 60 minutes interview, look at the pictures.
49:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Go to images and you'll see it.
49:39
[SPEAKER_02]: His ass is fucking ginormous and there's
49:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really know what it is, and it's not just people in his pants.
49:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I, it looks different than a diaper, but I don't, I don't, something is, he's got something going on down there in his pants.
49:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Because his, his butt does not look normal.
49:57
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a shell.
49:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's a whole fucking shell.
49:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
49:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But Nick Nax on it.
50:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, it's like this whole ledge.
50:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It's where he keeps his humbles.
50:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's like the, and I know I've been,
50:12
[SPEAKER_02]: saying this forever.
50:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I have because I every morning, I wake up as I get as you get as you get as you get as you get as three o'clock in the afternoon.
50:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like as you get.
50:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like every time I turn around as you get.
50:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's where my mind is.
50:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I keep talking about it.
50:26
[SPEAKER_00]: But you and in half of the country and all of the world.
50:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but people people hate him in in in London.
50:37
[SPEAKER_00]: people hate his guts, when they saw that we were American, it was like, we're with you.
50:44
[SPEAKER_00]: They, I'm like, oh, we can't, we can't, we can't stand it.
50:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, oh my God.
50:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the things people say, like, they don't hold back over there.
50:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:55
[SPEAKER_00]: There was in a single person I saw who even had a print of MAGA in them.
51:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like they they despite because and they say things like he's ruining the world.
51:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, because he is.
51:13
[SPEAKER_02]: He is, and he's gonna fucking die, and he's gonna die soon.
51:17
[SPEAKER_02]: He's gonna die sooner than later.
51:19
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, I always say, if he were your relative that you loved, you know, because whenever you say he's gonna die, people act like- Prepare the deathbed.
51:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
51:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And people act like from your mouth to God's ears.
51:32
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not about that.
51:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's old and he's dying.
51:34
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, but does he have a year?
51:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
51:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how long he has, you know, Google's giving him about six months without ever speaking of Google.
51:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, and I mean, obviously, this is when we love the internet.
51:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
51:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Make it tomorrow.
51:55
[SPEAKER_02]: But as you know, I just bought or chat.
51:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
51:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
52:00
[SPEAKER_02]: We should ask him, we should go to Claude and say, give him all, because I just went to Google.
52:05
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you look it up, but he, I mean, it's obvious it's happening.
52:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And people talk about him making it to, they're like, he's not building the ballroom because he plans to go anywhere.
52:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't give a shit what he's planning.
52:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got dementia.
52:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care what he's got legacy on his mind.
52:21
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to be around for 2028, even if he's alive.
52:26
[SPEAKER_02]: He's imagine, imagine what that would look like.
52:32
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way.
52:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at how far this woman that I was just talking about.
52:38
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like a speech therapist and she's on YouTube and she just went over his signature and he was, you know, he's doing one of those things that he signs in front of the camera at his desk and like now he's holding a big giant marker.
52:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And, and if you watch him like one of those crayons we have, they're hurting thick because he can't maneuver his he can't use his hand to use a regular pen.
53:04
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, he always used a Sharpie, but there's a much bigger one and then so you could see the leaner, yeah, he was struggling.
53:13
[SPEAKER_02]: You could see it like he was kind of struggling and then she took the two I guess from 2020 what a signature look like and then what it looked like the other day it's different it's not incredibly different but has changed it's just it's more wobbly
53:30
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it doesn't look the same.
53:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, and whatever I was listening to talking about this, um, and when I think it was a PhD talking about the kind of dementia that he has, and they were saying that your brain starts to actually, that it's like the front part of your brain, it starts to atrophy, and what happens is it's kind of like the whole idea of, of an earthquake.
53:58
[SPEAKER_02]: number.
54:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like 10 times worse, right?
54:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So like a five is 10 times worse than a four or whatever the number is.
54:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So like every day, the damage keeps getting worse in his brain.
54:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't need to laugh.
54:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how many times worse, but let's just go with the 10 times.
54:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was like, his brain is 10 times worse today than it was yesterday, and it will be 10 times worse tomorrow than today.
54:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's rapidly declining.
54:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And did you see in that he fell?
54:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And when they were trying to save him from that fucking shooter, and they all got, did you see when he fell?
54:42
[SPEAKER_02]: No, yeah, because if you go, if you just go at that white horse white horse white house course bond and stinner, you know, they go to get out of that part.
54:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, of course.
54:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, he couldn't get up.
54:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, he should have been on the Clapper commercial.
54:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, not the Clapper.
55:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The clapper.
55:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He could be on the clapper commercial, too.
55:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the clapper?
55:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
55:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And the lady was in the bed, like, yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm addicted to Instagram.
1:03:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So, find me there.
1:03:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Instagram brings me joy from like watching forces give birth to political things or, you know, whatever, ridiculousness.
1:03:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm completely addicted to Instagram, though.
1:04:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Bob's got a Bob's got some.
1:04:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So he don't Instagram.
1:04:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fun on Instagram.
1:04:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's been really pushing it.
1:04:08
[SPEAKER_02]: And then like every night before bed, he just goes on his phone.
1:04:12
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what he looks at before he goes to bed.
1:04:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't see what he's looking at, but I know it's probably mostly all of his Star Trek and you know, the stuff that he's a fan of.
1:04:24
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what he's not like on political Instagram.
1:04:26
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just having on fun Instagram.
1:04:29
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, he likes it.
1:04:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And so do I.
1:04:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I just enjoy all the social media.
1:04:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a little too much, but what's not to love?
1:04:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I was from talking home, I rely on it, I rely on my YouTube, but I rely on, oh my god, I just want to quickly say this before we go, that there's this guy Andrew Lau.
1:04:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Low or L-O-O-W-E.
1:04:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember how he pronounces it.
1:04:55
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like low, but I think it's low, but he just went on Patreon and then they just fucking put him on a billboard on time square.
1:05:03
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got like a million followers on YouTube and I absolutely adore him.
1:05:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He's this, he's gay and he does
1:05:11
[SPEAKER_02]: mostly cooking videos.
1:05:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I started watching him when my mom had knee surgery that one year and it was just so fucking awful, right?
1:05:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she was like, I was fucking awful.
1:05:23
[SPEAKER_02]: The during Christmas Andrew was like the guy who saved us.
1:05:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So now he's just gone over to Patreon and so not only do I watch him on YouTube, but I watch him on Patreon, but I have all my YouTube people.
1:05:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I love I love just like I fucking live on YouTube while I work all day long.
1:05:38
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I do.
1:05:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to go take more walks though out in nature.
1:05:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, it's always fun talking to you.
1:05:45
