easy retirement. Mick Mars is pissed. Yeah and we were the ones over here

23
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,960
shaking our fists calling bullshit on him. Yeah we knew better. Yeah. Carmine of

24
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Peace or Apathy or whatever has been backing all of this up you know because

25
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,120
he's good friends with Mick Mars. He's gonna be part of Mick Mars touring band.

26
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Now first off I'd like to say this and Topher and I talked about this on the

27
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,520
way down here. Mick Mars is Motley Crue. Oh yeah. He is there sound without him

28
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,240
there is not a Motley Crue. No. You put John Fiver or any other motherfucker in there it

29
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,080
is not Motley Crue. Everyone's gonna be comparing saying nope he didn't play

30
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,800
that right. No he didn't play that right. No I'm sorry John Fiver is very good. Oh

31
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,680
yeah. Real good but the thing is is he is not Mick Mars and Mick Mars is not that

32
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:04,080
flashy. He's the epitome of a 70s style classic rock guitarist. Yeah yeah it's

33
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,600
just tone the tones in his fingers. Yes. And in his brain and how he how he moves

34
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,960
everything and yeah it's really hard to replicate that. I remember years years

35
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,400
and years ago Motley Crue, Nicky Six specifically got a little bit of shit

36
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,520
because he invited Jakey Lee to join the band Motley Crue. Oh yeah. And and he said

37
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,640
oh we were fucked up I was just joking around I always kind of earmarked out

38
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:33,320
like hmm you know I don't care if you're fucked up or not you know Mick Mars is

39
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,920
the sound. Yeah. You would never have what you have without that guy. Yeah yeah. So

40
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,560
anyhow all right CNN this is from CNN. Maybe we're getting some wind noise. Yeah we are.

41
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Look at that wind just picked up didn't it. Yeah. So Mick Mars guitarist for 1980s

42
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200
heavy metal band Motley Crue. I don't agree with that they're not heavy metal

43
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,280
but whatever. He filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the band that he was a part of for

44
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,760
four decades. Mars is requesting that seven corporate entities associated

45
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,960
with Motley Crue hand over records related to their business dealings

46
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,280
following a 2022 dispute stemming from Mars notifying the band that he'd be

47
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,920
retiring from touring due to a medical condition. Mars claims the band

48
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:24,340
subsequently attempted to oust him altogether and diminish future earnings

49
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:29,840
he claims he's entitled to according to a copy from the lawsuit attained by CNN.

50
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,280
It is beyond sad that after 41 years together a band would try to throw out a

51
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:40,000
member who is unable to tour anymore. So okay all right. Okay. So that part is true.

52
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,880
Yeah. He's unable to tour anymore which sucks because I really wanted to see him

53
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,520
solo. But the thing is is this right here. All that being aside they're taking

54
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,520
advantage of him. Yeah. Yeah. So they're telling him uh-uh you're not gonna you

55
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,400
know we're just gonna take this whole ball of shit and it's ours. Yeah. Well

56
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:09,280
something. Excuse me. That's pretty awesome. Something I thought of is I think

57
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,360
McMars is saying I can't tour as a member of Motley Crue and do Motley Crue

58
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,640
shows. Oh. But he can still tour on his own terms like you know one gig every

59
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,800
four or five days. Whereas Crue it's like night after night every night. That would

60
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,920
make sense the way it was worded with Carmina. Yeah. So I think what Mick is saying is I can't tour

61
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,840
anymore with Crue and keep up your pace. I can still write. I can still do the

62
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,800
songs in the you know in the studio on the album etc. Because when I tour I

63
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,280
need to cut way back and do one show every few days. Because he did retire from

64
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:50,920
touring. Yeah. And that was it. Retired from touring. With Motley Crue. But that doesn't mean

65
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,960
he's never gonna play live again. No you're right. Absolutely. So yeah okay. Yeah.

66
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,920
Well it's like you know I retired from the postal service because I couldn't

67
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,720
handle carrying mail all the time. But if I could get a job delivering flowers for

68
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,040
a floor shop you know that's much easier I could handle that. Yeah. So I think

69
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,640
that's the situation he's in. I'm probably over over explaining. No no no. I

70
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:22,000
think that it was necessary to get the effect across. So yeah okay. So Motley

71
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Crue just decided they want to boot him all the way out. So if you're not doing

72
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,460
100% we don't want any of you. Yeah. So Mick Mars has been pushed around far too

73
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:35,000
long in a band. We're not going to let this continue. Ed McPherson the attorney

74
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,720
representing Mick Mars who filed the lawsuit Thursday was in a CNN statement.

75
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,120
So he told CNN in his statement. McPherson said in the suit that when Mars notified

76
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,280
Motley Crue that he'd retire from touring due to his debilitating

77
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:57,520
echolocene spondylitis a condition that mainly affects the spine he made it

78
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640
clear that he had no intention of leaving the band that he could still

79
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,480
record with them and still perform with them in a residency situation so you're

80
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,240
right. Yeah. Yeah so they could go to Vegas and do their residency like all

81
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,360
these other bands in that area has done. Yeah. They'd be fine. So it's the traveling that's

82
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,760
really screwing with them. Yes the pseudo legend just like Ozzy. Ozzy said that he

83
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,560
could probably do a residency but he could not do touring. Yeah. So anyhow or touring

84
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,920
as he knows it. Yeah. Like a show every three days like he had been doing. Yeah. The suit

85
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,880
alleges the band then called an emergency shareholders meeting for

86
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Motley Crue's main corporate entity in order to throw Mars out of the band to

87
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,680
fire him as director of the corporation to fire him as an officer of the

88
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,360
corporation and to take away his shares of the corporation. Wow. Is that not a

89
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,800
fucking cocksucker? Geez. Nicky Six in my opinion you're a piece of fucking shit.

90
00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Apparently so. You are the person you swore you never would become. Exactly. You

91
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,960
need to go fucking just go stop. I don't even want to listen to your fucking

92
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:11,560
music anymore you fucking asshole. Wow. Wow. Yeah I really don't think Nicky Six

93
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,720
was always this way something turned him into this money grubbing greedy backstabbing creep. That motherfucker is only alive because of the grace of God.

94
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Yeah. He shot so much heroin he fucking killed himself. Twice. Twice. Yeah. So I

95
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,520
don't want to hear anything from that guy. Gosh. Fuck you Nicky Six. What a creep. Yeah. Fucking

96
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,040
asshole. Yeah and then look at a band like Rush. They were together for decades

97
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,680
they all liked each other they said you know the key to their longevity is none

98
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:43,120
of them ever thought they were better than anyone else. It's like you know

99
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,920
everybody in the band is my friend and I want to work with them and I'm not

100
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,800
competing against them. Every one of them were so uber talented they had nothing

101
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:59,280
to prove. Yeah no kidding. I mean Neil Peart. Yeah. Alex Lifeson. Yeah. Getty Lee. I was

102
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,120
listening to some Rush the other day and just listening to the bass lines. Oh the

103
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,280
bass lines. Amazing. It's amazing his bass lines are so prominent it almost sounded like lead

104
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,560
bass. Yeah. I mean he was just yeah. They're always so tasty. Yeah and always

105
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:20,320
thought-provoking. Yeah. They didn't just come out and go crotch dick pussy. Yeah. They were very

106
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,560
thought-provoking very intellectual progressive hard. They always challenged

107
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,880
themselves. Yes. You know and new album okay let's try something different

108
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,800
something you know we haven't done before and something that we're not good

109
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,400
at. They never just sat status quo. Yeah. Well anyhow back to this for one second. Yeah.

110
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,520
Miley Crue always performs the songs live but during the last tour Mick

111
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,360
struggled to remember chords played from the songs and made constant mistakes

112
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,120
or led to his departure from the band is what Miley Crue said. Miley Crue

113
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,280
famously reunited 2019 announced a new tour after performing what was supposed

114
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,120
to be their last show at the end of 2015. Yeah. Which says everything right there. Yeah.

115
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:04,640
You know he he reminds me of this is like Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons on

116
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,340
steroids. Yeah. It got so uppity and up in the clouds and we're been here the

117
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:15,040
whole time and all that. You know what I don't respect that I never will and I

118
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,080
think it's cheap I think it's horrible I don't think a good person does this and

119
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,720
and I think Nikki Sixx is a very he's a lowlife. Yeah. And Tommy Lee you don't

120
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,000
have to say anything about that. That guy's lucky to be alive to that fucking

121
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,560
brain dead fucking. But you know what liquor you know Nikki Sixx wants to be

122
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:40,400
the king of the Motley Crue Hill. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons want to be king

123
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:47,800
of the Kiss Hill and apparently they are and I guess they're enjoying it but you

124
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,740
know what in a few years no one's gonna give a shit about Motley Crue or Kiss or

125
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:55,840
any of that. They're on their way out on their way down. They know it. Their fan base

126
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,080
is dying they're not really getting new fans so they're doing all this to hold

127
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,800
on to the last gasp as it's all crumbling away so congratulations on that

128
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,600
but now we're all gonna remember you as a money-grubbing dick. Well I kind of

129
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,560
look at it like this too the real Motley fans not these ones that are showing

130
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,920
up to go watch them at a residency or whatever. Look at that one. Yeah.

131
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Lightning I'm talking about. I'm gonna I'm gonna get a wind filter out here.

132
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:31,480
Yeah that's a good idea it's starting to hit pretty hard.

133
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,720
All right hang on everyone. Yeah it's gonna work. Now there's the soft

134
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320
gun. We've got a condom on the microphone so it's gonna cut the wind down. It's safe now.

135
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Yes. Yeah you know what this just shows you that this is all these people

136
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,720
have ever had in their life and they're not letting go. Yeah. You know the

137
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,000
well-rounded person. Rick Morris takes them to the cleaners. Yeah really. A well-rounded person would get

138
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,400
more going on in their life than just the one thing. Yes. But not everybody's a

139
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,640
well-rounded person. That's right. That's right. Obviously Nicky has been missing a lot ever since he was a

140
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,440
child and all the stuff that he said that you know being abandoned basically

141
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,760
all that stuff it's had an effect on him. Yeah. Yeah I remember watching one of his

142
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,280
videos during the reunion tour, Generation Swine. There's some fucked

143
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:33,000
upness going on in that head. Yeah. Yeah. So that's generally where the more

144
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,240
gifted and unique creative people come from is their brains been jacked with.

145
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Yeah. Yeah I mean look at it like this as soon as Trent Reznor got

146
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:51,680
happy he can't stand his music. Yeah. That's true. I still continue. I never got

147
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,480
Nirvana without Kurt Cobain killing himself. Yeah. It took that kind of pain to

148
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:03,400
make that kind of music. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Cornell too I guess. Yeah the

149
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:09,200
genuineness of the despair and anguish etc is what attracted people to it.

150
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,720
Because you know this is real. I believe this person. I believe what

151
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,520
they're really feeling what they're talking about. Yeah real music says

152
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,320
something. Yeah. Real music has something to say. Real music is outraged. Real

153
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:28,680
music is undeniable. Yeah. It's art. Yeah. That just you know the happy you know

154
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:33,280
pop crap that you know is friendly to your ear and you can listen to while not

155
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,760
even thinking about it. That's not really music. That's just background noise.

156
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:42,000
It's background noise. Yeah. Yeah. If you really want to get to real music then you

157
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,240
get to the angry stuff. The stuff. The protest. Yeah. That's what I like about you know a

158
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:53,000
number of the bands I listen to is they have the appropriate level of anger in

159
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520
their music. I mean you can't have too much to where it's like kill you fuck

160
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,520
you die everybody. No. No. It's not what I'm talking about. That's just pointless.

161
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,760
That's yeah. But have something to say and be passionate about it. That I like

162
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,920
that. I do too. It makes better music. So did you have something you want to go

163
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:20,280
into? Yeah. I was I was watching a show yesterday. It just happened to be on. My

164
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,760
wife was watching it and I watched for a bit and I really started noticing some

165
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,200
interesting things about the way the show was made. It's called Secrets of the

166
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Zoo Tampa and I guess they have secrets of the zoo in different cities

167
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,480
everywhere but the premises of the show is they follow these people around who

168
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,120
work at the zoo and film them having interactions with the animals etc. But

169
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,600
here's what I noticed about the show immediately. Number one

170
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:59,800
90 to 95 percent female cast. I only saw two. I mean I watched for about on and

171
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:06,040
off for about three hours three episodes. I saw two men that entire time. I saw

172
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,800
probably about two dozen women come and go but two men and one of them was very

173
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:19,240
obviously gay. Okay. So the the show made the decision we're gonna have an all

174
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:28,600
female cast or a relentlessly female cast. All of them were not wearing a

175
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,160
single bit of makeup. None of them had their hair done. It was either just

176
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:41,200
hanging in disarray or tied up in a messy bun or ponytail. Okay. So every

177
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,640
single woman on the show they made the choice no makeup don't do their hair.

178
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Make them look just plain as day. How weird. That is weird. I wonder what the

179
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,040
whole thought process is on that. I know and you know I mentioned that to my wife

180
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,640
and the first thing she did was defend the show saying oh well these are

181
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,280
these are biologists they don't care about their appearance and I said no

182
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,840
this is a TV show. Yeah with biologists in it. Yeah and these girls aren't

183
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,460
biologists they're volunteers. Oh they're not. Oh yeah. Well then yeah. And if the

184
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:21,280
production staff wanted them to be wearing makeup they'd be wearing makeup.

185
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,120
I mean everything they sex up everything you think it that would just be like

186
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:31,080
no hey guys you know go out there. And then I mentioned to her that it was a

187
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,280
you know a mostly female cast and she said well that's probably who

188
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,640
volunteers and again I said but this isn't real life. This is a TV show and

189
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,480
everything you're seeing has been calculated and decided. Yes. They chose

190
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,840
for this to be an all-female cast. If they wanted more men in the cast they

191
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,040
would have found some and put them in there. Yeah. They don't leave shit to

192
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,720
chance. And I finally she finally came around to thinking okay you're right. This

193
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,560
is all artificial and scripted this way and made this way and that's the point

194
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,000
I was making is why did they choose to do it this way. Because none of that just

195
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,480
happened. I'm trying to think of an angle but I don't know what they would have

196
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,320
why they would have benefited from that at all. Well here's the next part. Okay. The

197
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,840
way they edited the show about 50% of what all these women were saying and

198
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:31,840
these were women from like 18 to 26 or so. You know prime age for marriage,

199
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:39,440
prime age for starting a family, etc etc. There's no older women. They edited in

200
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,300
such a way that almost 50% of what these women were talking about was gushing

201
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:50,960
over the cute baby animals. So they're putting themselves in mommy roles. Oh

202
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:58,440
look at this cute baby. Oh yeah. So they're not they're not a sex figure.

203
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:05,720
They're not a sex object on the show. They're plain. They have you know must

204
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:13,080
up hair and you know they're being really open-eyed and innocent about all

205
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,960
the sweet baby animals. They're like the super innocent girl next door. You think they're

206
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,760
portraying angels? Could be because there's there's not a lot of sexual

207
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:29,560
about these. Exactly sexless, maybe somewhat female looking, taking care of from above

208
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,640
kind of like they swooped in and said we're gonna watch out over these. Yeah. Do

209
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,600
you think like maybe a creator or producer of the show wanted it like that

210
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,280
and said. I think what they want is women to watch and not feel threatened by any

211
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,080
of the women on the show. Oh I'm prettier than all these women. Oh okay. My hair is

212
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,240
better than all these women. That's the story of shows. So they can just sit there and enjoy and

213
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,520
feel good about them without feeling in competition with any of them. That does make sense.

214
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Uh-huh. Okay. Now all of the women, everybody on the show, first name only, it was like

215
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:12,440
oh this is Brandy and this is Christina and this is the vet was Dr. Melissa. So

216
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,280
intentionally leaving off the last name, everybody's on first name basis, that

217
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,120
that also lends an air of everybody's a real good friends, we're all on first

218
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:28,080
name basis, nothing's ever formal, it's all just good friends, oh this Dr. Melissa

219
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:36,680
and buddy friend and you know it's just and then the advertisements that ran

220
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:44,240
during that show, one that ran over and over was for a Yukon vet show. There

221
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:53,140
again it was a woman, everybody on her staff, female and all of them in their

222
00:19:53,140 --> 00:20:01,760
20s. So it's a theme. It's a theme that's coming up. It's a theme going. Yeah you know not a man in

223
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,560
sight and all these happy friendly women who aren't competing sexually with each

224
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:13,120
other for the intention of a man. Isn't that interesting? I'm trying to figure

225
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:18,240
out an angle of where this is going but I don't, I have not connected the dots

226
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,320
yet. Yeah. Why they would do it like this. And also very prominent in the

227
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:31,840
advertisements, lots of pet related ads with food, medicine, care, etc. and everyone

228
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:39,640
that was about a pet's medicine showed a pretty female veterinarian. So it's like

229
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,640
for three hours on this channel men didn't exist. Not at all. And that

230
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,800
and somebody made that choice and I'm trying to figure out why.

231
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,120
Psychological? Maybe the people that they were intending the show to... Exactly.

232
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,360
The people they wanted to watch the show they figured didn't want to see

233
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,680
men anywhere. Is that what was at that? That's the only thing I could think of.

234
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:10,040
To intentionally exclude one gender completely from not only the show but

235
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,640
the commercials and the ads for future shows and it's like hours and hours of

236
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,280
not a man in sight somebody made a choice to do it that way. I wonder why.

237
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,520
Yeah. I mean were they correct? Is the audience that watched that show so

238
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,440
threatened by the mere appearance of a man on the screen that they would change

239
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:38,720
the channel and dislike the show? I guess so. Okay. Yeah I guess. But can you imagine

240
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,280
a bunch of guys sitting around say hey I want to watch a show where it's just all

241
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:49,240
guys no women. No. No. But I can see women saying hey let's watch a show where it's

242
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,720
all just women and no men. Oh I can see that easily. I can see that easily.

243
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,880
So that might have been what the programming idea was. It's let's

244
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:06,880
program for these women that don't want to see men. Okay. I got an interesting

245
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,840
thing here. Remember last week you're talking about did you tell me about no

246
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,720
we've said this on air about Ace Freely. Yeah. Yeah and he said that Paul

247
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,720
Ciali is on Howard Stern. He said he was gonna sound like piss if Ace is still with him.

248
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:29,440
Yeah. Well Ace got on Eddie Trunk and anyhow he you know like you said he was

249
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,960
talking about you know if you don't apologize to me in writing that I'm

250
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,120
gonna spill some of your dirty secrets. Yeah. Okay. Well Ace Freely said he'd

251
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,280
heard back from Paul Stanley shortly after demanding an apology from his

252
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,840
former Kiss Bandmate last week. But all he received was a fuck you during the

253
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:55,560
five-second phone call. Wow tell us how you really feel Paul. It also makes me

254
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,840
wonder if this just isn't one big promotional gimmick. Yeah I'm thinking

255
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,240
Andy Kaufman and the wrestler. Yeah you go on your platform which would be Howard Stern.

256
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,840
They're both on Sirius XM mind you. Then you go on your platform

257
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,760
Eddie Trunk which would be Ace because they're best friends and they you know

258
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,040
anyhow a long history together. As promised last week Freely returned to

259
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,440
Eddie Trunk's Trunk Nation today to offer an update on his ongoing war of words

260
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,320
with Stanley and Gene Simmons. The spaceman previously threatened to air

261
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,720
some dirt on his ex-colleagues if Stanley did not apologize within a week for the

262
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,400
disparaging remarks he made during a recent Howard Stern interview. When asked

263
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:45,480
if Stanley contacted him Freely said yes but he did but not long after the

264
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,880
show was over I was blindsided by the phone call but instead of an apology I

265
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,640
got a five-second phone call which said fuck you Ace I'm not going to apologize

266
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:59,280
and hung up. Wow. He wasn't even man enough to let me give a rebuttal and

267
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:07,760
explain why I'm upset over anything like that. Yeah well something I'll be curious

268
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:16,840
to see. Wow. So far it hasn't crossed any line. Yeah. Like if now if Ace is to come

269
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,680
back and say that Paul Stanley hates black people and I have him on tape

270
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,520
saying the N-word or something then that's too far. Yeah. But just insinuating and

271
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,880
throwing little bits around like this could be and this could be it's nothing.

272
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,240
It's nothing that they can't be all sudden they're on stage the last five

273
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,480
shows they made up and they all play this big it's a big kumbaya moment and they're

274
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,400
all hugging and yeah yeah yeah if if the dirt that Ace has on them involves

275
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,080
something that could result in criminal charges then I'll take it seriously but

276
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,960
if it's just embarrassing like oh he cheated on his wife with three girls and

277
00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:00,720
he stood on his balcony with his wiener out or yeah yeah if it's not something like you know he

278
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,640
raped a 13 year old in Toledo once and I have pictures you know then I would

279
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,640
believe Ace really has some dirt and is trying to hurt him but if it's all just

280
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,320
you know good old boy embarrassing stuff then yeah they're working together to

281
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,840
pump up their shows and they're yeah and they're hyping their image. It wouldn't

282
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,760
be the first time they did this. Absolutely. Think about that uh that

283
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,520
unplugged MTV live unplugged. Oh yeah. Yeah remember it all sudden Eric Singer and

284
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Bruce Kulick leave yeah and Ace and Peter come up there and replace it. Oh my god

285
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:41,080
they're all back together again. So yeah yeah I'm almost working up to some big

286
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:47,680
I'm just I'm about two seconds away from calling bullshit on them yeah yeah and

287
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,520
then they'll get them all together at the final show they'll all hug and cry

288
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:59,120
and kiss and then release an NFT of the moment yeah yeah yeah buy our non-fungible

289
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:05,520
token of this reunion. Ace and Paul hugging each other on stage. I got this because it

290
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,080
means so much to me. Then they end up leaving and going fuck you. Hope you get

291
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:17,560
fucking ass cancer. Fuck you. Meanwhile they're just milking us idiot fans for every

292
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,000
penny we have selling us the lie that they really like each other. Yeah we're

293
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,960
rubed and we love a nice story. Look at them they love each other again. It's like when they first met.

294
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,240
I'd rather spend a thousand dollars and believe a happy lie than keep my

295
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,320
thousand dollars and face the unpleasant truth. But if you listen to

296
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,520
Paul and Gene they all never really liked each other that much anyhow from

297
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,120
the start. No it's been a business from the beginning. They've never been bandmates.

298
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:47,680
They've always been co-workers. Yeah yeah yeah I remember Paul saying stuff like

299
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Lace is kind of lazy and fat and didn't really like to carry his stuff in and

300
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Gene insinuating that Ace may be a little fucking I don't know a little bi

301
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,800
or something when he gets trapped. I mean all this stuff. Another thing

302
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,560
with Motley Crue is remember when John Karabi was blamed for the failure of

303
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,000
that album and tour and they just dumped everything on him and kicked him out. First of all that was a damn fine

304
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,080
album. What failed is they called it Motley Crue. Yeah they should have called it something else.

305
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,120
But anyway now they're talking about bringing John Karabi back to

306
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:25,760
replace Vince Neil. So all of a sudden they don't hate him anymore it's a

307
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,400
business decision. And John Karabi will go along with it. Although I heard his solo and he

308
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,680
doesn't care for him. No John Karabi doesn't like him. He played solo in Kansas City a couple times.

309
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,640
As he said you know I don't you know it's not like we're friends or

310
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,860
anything you know it'd be a business arrangement if they want to pay

311
00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:47,000
me to sing their songs. Sure I'll do it. Quite frankly I'd rather at this point

312
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,560
go see John Karabi with that band than anybody else. But I still contend they need to change

313
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,240
the name. Yeah yeah maybe they could leave something in there to remind you it's

314
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,080
Motley Crue. Just like you know say it's second Crue. Second Crue or you know. Two live Crue.

315
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,800
Oh wait a minute wait a minute that's taken. Yes I think somebody already has that one.

316
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:17,000
I saw a thing. I'm just sitting in a big churn machine. Yeah. That's all okay. I saw a post from Vanilla Ice

317
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,080
the other day and he was saying back when Ice Ice Baby was you know making him

318
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:28,120
a bunch of money he said Suge Knight approached him at a hotel took him up to

319
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:36,400
his room and it was Suge Knight and some of his bodyguards and Ice Ice was there

320
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,480
all by himself and Suge suggested that Vanilla Ice should assign his royalty

321
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:48,400
points over to Suge Knight. That would be a really good idea if he did that and then

322
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:55,000
he mentioned that it was a long way down from the balcony. Oh yeah yeah no he actually

323
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,520
hung him over the balcony. Yeah. Yeah it was like ten stories up and he actually

324
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,000
put put him out there and was holding by his legs and hung him over the balcony.

325
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,840
Yeah. Now you see that's the kind of stuff you expect to see in mafia movies.

326
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,760
Yeah and who knows if that's true or not. I mean I could totally see that in the

327
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,320
entertainment industry. All that's required is something where lots of

328
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,480
money is changing hands and organized crime moves right in. Oh yeah.

329
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,840
It's just a natural solution for him. I mean why wouldn't somebody say I'll kill

330
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,840
you unless you sign over the rice to this hit song to me. Yeah. And then it's

331
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,360
in the press like oh yeah well I sold him this song for this amount or

332
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,120
whatever and really it was an extortion and the guy would have been dead. Yeah.

333
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,840
Yep. If there's millions of dollars at stake you've got to believe yeah somebody's

334
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:50,840
gonna take someone's life over that. Sure they will. Yep. Yeah absolutely. Yeah and I

335
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,000
could see you know some of these one-hit wonders they like they have one big hit

336
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,320
and they disappear. They probably get the one big hit get exposed to what success

337
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,320
in the music industry is like and then run screaming for home. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

338
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,680
That's you know half of the one hit wonders that you never hear of again

339
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:15,560
they're like oh screw this I'm gonna go back and work in a paper mill. Yeah the

340
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,280
the industry was completely different than they thought it is. Most people have

341
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,080
this idea that you make it big you get a ton of money and everybody loves you.

342
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,920
Yeah. Yeah. And everything good comes your way and everybody's you know

343
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,080
spawning around you but actually you become the prize cow. Yep. In the state

344
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,200
fair. Yep. And people will take pieces off you trade you back and forth and when you're

345
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,080
all used up they throw you away. And that's how you get a lot of this

346
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,160
mental diseases and people freaking out. Yeah. It's because they can't handle the

347
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,480
fact that they're no longer that golden cow that like yeah don't want to deal

348
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,680
with them because they like them they're only dealing with them because they can

349
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
make money off of them. Yeah. When they when they hit that reality that they're

350
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,480
no longer worth anything to anybody that's when the real you know that's

351
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,560
when you get the suicidal stuff and the drug use and you know now the drug use

352
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,960
might have always been there but not to the extent of when they realize you know

353
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,160
they're. I think a lot of the drug use well the drug use in the music industry

354
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:24,280
in like this 50s 60s 70s it had a two-fold purpose one it made the artists

355
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:30,520
much easier to control because you take away part of their will and they depend

356
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:37,000
on you for their drug fix. Yeah. Therefore they're easier to deal with and two the

357
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,160
record company would give them you know like the million dollar advance and then

358
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,800
they get it all back selling drugs to the musician. Uh-huh. So the musician would

359
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,720
you know that advance will go up their nose or in their vein and the record

360
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,480
companies now got all their money back and anything they make off this band is

361
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,720
pure profit. And now the band has to go out and work extra hard and do

362
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,220
whatever the label says because they're all out of money because they snorted it

363
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:09,320
all. That happened with so many bands. Yeah so the band becomes a slave because

364
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,880
they're addicted their label keeps them addicted because that's the way to

365
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,120
siphon back all the money they get paid for anything. Uh-huh. You know oh we got

366
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,040
to pay the artists 10% royalties that's all right we'll just mark up his coke

367
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:29,760
another 10%. Yeah. And then when he can't write or sing or perform anymore we kick

368
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,160
his ass to the curb and find a younger version. Yeah and then that's where you

369
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,720
get all these skid row stories about all these stars. Yeah.

370
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:48,800
You. Two ass bags and a box of cheez-its will be right back.

371
00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:00,200
Hey look I think we found land. Oh my god I think we're safe. Oh no it's the island of

372
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,800
horrible jokes.

373
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Why? Can't it be 12 inches long? Because then it would be a foot.

374
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:21,800
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper it's strange insults from an alien.

375
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Real hilarity.

376
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Hey your chair produces sound similar to a heart. But only once. Such that you cannot reproduce it and prove that it was just the chair.

377
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:48,800
If a 10 pound bag of shit could talk this is what it would sound like.

378
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,800
I got a I got something here. I'm hearing sirens aren't you? Yes me too.

379
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,800
Well there's a severe thunderstorm just to on the Kansas just to the north.

380
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Wyandotte County has one on there. So I don't know how hairy the weather's gonna get here.

381
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,800
But you might hear some pretty cool stuff. I had a douchebag screaming and running off.

382
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:14,800
I had a route a male route once that was down in the Kansas River bottoms K-32.

383
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:23,800
It was like about half businesses and the residential part was mostly trailer parks.

384
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,800
But it was probably about eight feet above river level.

385
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,800
So we've got a rain like this. You needed a canoe to get around on that male route.

386
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Because the water all drained down to the river and it couldn't drain fast enough.

387
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,800
So there was some streets that I just couldn't get into and it rained like this.

388
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,800
What did you do? Just hold your mail till it went down?

389
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:52,800
Yeah and there was one whole trailer park that would flood and there'd be like six to eight inches of standing water for days.

390
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,800
And it would never dry out. It was just awful.

391
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,800
I don't know why do people live there? I don't get it. It's like man they'll move out. I don't know.

392
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,800
Some of those trailer parks they started building them up on stilts because they got flooded out.

393
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,800
And then the other ones that as they would flood out they wouldn't let them rebuild.

394
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,800
They said no you got to rebuild somewhere else or put them all on stilts.

395
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:21,800
Well that's what I'm talking about. It sucks for the people because I know their home's there and they'll never get the value out of it or nothing like that.

396
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:29,800
I mean I get it for their own safety and then people trying to service them too.

397
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,800
Well I mean speaking of rebuilding, you hear about San Francisco?

398
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,800
Oh I know they've been having some troubles lately.

399
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Yeah they have. This is according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

400
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,800
The city is on the verge of collapse.

401
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,800
I can believe it.

402
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,800
Me too. I mean you look at everything all together not just what's happening lately but over time.

403
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:56,800
They've made a number of unsustainable decisions on how to run their city and it just doesn't work.

404
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,800
Well I mean this feel good stuff only works for so long and then you eventually have to make hard decisions.

405
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,800
And that means if there's a lot of hobos there you're going to have to do something with them.

406
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,800
You can't just let them live off of everybody and shit everywhere.

407
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:17,800
And to pretend that they're just happy friendly people that just happen to live outdoors.

408
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,800
They have mental illness. They're angry. A lot of them are angry.

409
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,800
Like Ms. Goldfenstein here, very angry. Whoever she's yelling at. Not happy with it.

410
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,800
As long as they deal with reality then you have a chance.

411
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,800
But San Francisco has been believing their own bullshit.

412
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,800
And a lot of them went there because of that. They're like look they don't care what we do here so we're just going to go there.

413
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,800
So hey you know much of San Francisco is facing an economic death spiral brought on by post pandemic woes.

414
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,800
The Chronicle said in an editorial.

415
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,800
The article is headlined San Francisco could be on the verge of collapse.

416
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,800
What should California do about it?

417
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:57,800
Well traditionally if something collapses it's lying on the ground.

418
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,800
You take a bulldozer. You scrape it off and you build something back over it.

419
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,800
Yeah pretty much.

420
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:10,800
The idea of San Francisco is at risk of collapsing and taking much of the Bay Area with it according to the editorial.

421
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:19,800
Experts say post pandemic woes stemming from office workers staying home instead of commuting into the city could send San Francisco into a doom loop.

422
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:29,800
That would get its tax base, decimate fair reliant regional transportation system like BART, and trap it in an economic death spiral.

423
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,800
The article asks the question who would have predicted such a thing?

424
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,800
Anyone who paid attention to what happened in New York on 9-11 terrorist attacks it answered.

425
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:51,800
Like San Francisco, Lower Manhattan Financial District was once a nearly exclusive daytime hope for suburban offices, commuters, and businesses who fed them lunch and a ghost town after dark.

426
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,800
That all changed after 9-11.

427
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,800
But New York came up with a version for reinventation, which they did.

428
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,800
The Big Apple Financial District would become a place where people lived and worked.

429
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:11,800
About 20 billion in public and private investments were spent on making the vision a reality.

430
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:18,800
So it sounds to me like just on what I read here, there's nobody willing to take a leap of faith into San Francisco because of their policies.

431
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,800
They're all going, that's okay, we'll stay back here.

432
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,800
Yeah, we'll give you six months, see where you are, then we'll talk.

433
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,800
Yeah, we'll come back a little later. Good luck.

434
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:38,800
Post-World War II, the paradigm was build the suburbs outside the city.

435
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,800
That's where everyone lives, those are bedroom communities.

436
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:47,800
Then everyone commutes into the city to work and you pay the taxes there to support all those buildings.

437
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,800
At the end of the day, everyone drives out again.

438
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:58,800
The only people living in the city are the disadvantaged people who have to take the lower paying jobs in the inner city.

439
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:05,800
Like trash collection, maintaining the sewer system, sweeping and cleaning your nice office building.

440
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:13,800
That was the paradigm, is the upper middle and upper class white folk move to the suburbs and enjoy the good life.

441
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,800
Anybody living in the city, well, your life sucks, just deal with it.

442
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,800
Yeah, that's absolutely correct.

443
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:30,800
I think San Francisco is still kind of built on that model where they have high value neighborhoods,

444
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:37,800
high value areas that sustain themselves with high taxes, but they depend on people coming into those areas.

445
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,800
Which is not really happening now.

446
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,800
The editorial noted the financial district ended up bouncing back.

447
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:52,800
The tragedy of 9-11 inadvertently revealed the glaring vulnerabilities and inadequacies of office dependent 9-5 business districts.

448
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,800
And created a new model for making America downtown's more stable economic engines for local governments

449
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,800
and fostering better, more compelling urban life.

450
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,800
The editorial said, which we're doing here in Kansas City.

451
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:13,800
The urban life is a lot of these lofts and condos and apartments that they're building with play areas built into them

452
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,800
right next to them, underneath them, around them.

453
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,800
And getting people away from the idea of needing to own a car. A car is a choice anymore.

454
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,800
Yeah, I mean it's just like this big park that they're planning on building over 670 downtown.

455
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,800
That's a great idea because people will go like, I don't need to live out on the suburbs anymore.

456
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,800
I have a huge green space right here.

457
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Well the 9-5 office culture that we're talking about with the big office buildings,

458
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:51,800
that was never an efficient way for humans to live or an efficient way for us to have our careers.

459
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:58,800
It was that way because it provided lots of tax dodges for the people who owned the buildings, owned the businesses.

460
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,800
Yes.

461
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,800
Worked in the city planning commission or the county planning commission.

462
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,800
I mean it made a shit ton of money for a bunch of people, not us.

463
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,800
We just had to live within the system they created which was good for them.

464
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,800
I'm starting to get a little sprain this now.

465
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,800
Yeah, me too.

466
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,800
We were getting a little shower during the podcast.

467
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,800
Now everything is changing. People are like, you know, to hell with your 9-5 commuting culture.

468
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,800
I'm just going to live here, work here, do that, maybe change jobs every six, eight months.

469
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:34,800
And these enormous structures that all these cities have built downtown suddenly are a big tax liability.

470
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:40,800
And the people that have enjoyed the tax breaks up till now have got to figure out a way to change it back

471
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,800
or get out from under their big giant office buildings.

472
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,800
Well, I think that's simple how they're...

473
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,800
So that's the push to, you know, hey, get back to work, come back into the office because they want their tax breaks back.

474
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,800
Yeah.

475
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,800
It's not because we're more productive. It's not because it's better for us.

476
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,800
Well, you know, it's said here that San Francisco didn't get the memo.

477
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,800
The thing about this article here was it was an article about an article.

478
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:06,800
Oh, interesting.

479
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,800
Well, you know, it said how the Chronicle suggested this and that.

480
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:12,800
Uh-huh.

481
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,800
Well, I went to the Chronicle and there's a subscription deal.

482
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,800
So I was like, no, I'm not paying five bucks to go buy that.

483
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,800
So I just went off of this.

484
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:27,800
So, okay. It didn't come up with any answers. It just posed questions.

485
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,800
Yeah.

486
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,800
So I think the answers are this right here.

487
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,800
They're just going to make people start working in their offices again with no explanation.

488
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,800
Yeah.

489
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,800
It's like, yeah, you could. I know a lot of banks that are like that now.

490
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,800
They're like, yeah, you could work at home, but we're not going to let you.

491
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:51,800
They're going to try to make it a condition of employment that you show up in person at this location.

492
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,800
Or at least three days a week.

493
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,800
Now, the interesting thing will be, can they get enough people to agree to that?

494
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,800
Or is that going to be time after time people saying, no, thanks?

495
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,800
Some of these new companies have been built up like that.

496
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,800
They're just going to go, no, work at home. We don't even want to build a building.

497
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,800
Yeah.

498
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,800
They got the advantage right there.

499
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:10,800
Yeah, exactly.

500
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Yeah.

501
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:19,800
And I think the federal government also has a vested interest because they collect the tax monies.

502
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,800
So they want big office buildings generating tax money.

503
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,800
They're going to figure out a way to make people go back into the city. That's just how there is to it.

504
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,800
Either that or they're going to find a way to tax them for not going back into the city.

505
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,800
That might be what they're going to do.

506
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,800
And how come they're not really seeming that interested in what's going on? They're just kind of like, OK.

507
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:52,800
It's like if you have an electric car, you're not paying the tax to fix up the roads and highways because that's built in the price of gas.

508
00:43:52,800 --> 00:44:03,800
So people who buy electric cars, the government is telling them, no, you have to go back and pay as much tax as you would have paid if you'd been buying gas all this time because you're still using the roads.

509
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,800
You've got to pay that tax.

510
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,800
Yeah.

511
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,800
I think there will be a similar thing where they say, OK, you're working for a home, but this downtown still exists.

512
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,800
So we're going to tax you because you're not using it.

513
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:17,800
Yeah.

514
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,800
I think it's going to wind up being something like that.

515
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:19,800
I think you're right.

516
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,800
Yeah.

517
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,800
Yeah.

518
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,800
Yeah, that's what I say.

519
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:27,800
Yeah.

520
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:36,800
San Francisco has coasted a long time on being a tech hub, a great place to live, great quality of life.

521
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:43,800
And I think the PR campaign people are seeing through it now, and it's just a city like any other.

522
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,800
And it costs way too much to live there and do anything there.

523
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,800
Yeah.

524
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:56,800
They're deciding on cheaper places to live, work, have their business, take their vacations, et cetera.

525
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:03,800
And San Francisco is not wanting to cut their prices, as it were.

526
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,800
It's like, no, we want to be this big, expensive city.

527
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,800
So we're going to polish our image up again and try to get the money back.

528
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,800
Exactly.

529
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:12,800
Yeah.

530
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,800
But there are cities that come and go in popularity.

531
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,800
And maybe this is San Francisco's time to become the next Fresno.

532
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,800
Let's hope not.

533
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,800
There will be a lot of disappointed people.

534
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,800
Yes.

535
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,800
They'll become the next Oakland.

536
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,800
I just ran across something when I was looking for a couple of stories that I have here.

537
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,800
Yeah.

538
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:37,800
OK.

539
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,800
And I was going to ask this actually a couple of months ago.

540
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,800
Yeah.

541
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,800
And anyhow, I just saw it written here in handwriting.

542
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:46,800
OK.

543
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,800
You know how you order like chow now in all these places, right?

544
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,800
Yeah.

545
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,800
You get to the restaurant to order something to go pick it up.

546
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:54,800
Yeah.

547
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:55,800
Not delivery, just go pick it up.

548
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,800
Yeah.

549
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,800
And they still ask how much tip you leave.

550
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,800
Yeah.

551
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,800
What the hell are we tipping for?

552
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:02,800
Yeah.

553
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,800
Does that money even go to the people?

554
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,800
That's what I like to know.

555
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:06,800
They have no way of knowing it.

556
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,800
No.

557
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,800
They have no way of proving it.

558
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,800
Yeah.

559
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,800
And I mean, hey, did you guys give them $300,000 worth of tips last year?

560
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,800
Mm-hmm.

561
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,800
I mean, would that have been added on their check?

562
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,800
Did they pay in cash?

563
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,800
Man, you're just taking their word for it.

564
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:23,800
Yeah.

565
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:24,800
Just like, oh, I'm going to tip this guy.

566
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,800
I think it's a new scam.

567
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,800
He probably never sees a penny of it.

568
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Yeah.

569
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:28,800
I think it's a new scam.

570
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,800
Yeah.

571
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:30,800
It's just like I found this out.

572
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,800
Like Instacart, they will not.

573
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,800
They will buy the stuff from Price Chopper that's cut in half.

574
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,800
But they charge you the regular rate.

575
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:41,800
Ah.

576
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:42,800
They don't give you the discount.

577
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:43,800
Ah.

578
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,800
So they make a little money off of that from what I understand.

579
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,800
Yeah.

580
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,800
Well, I mean, allegedly, but it looks like it is.

581
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,800
I mean, that's what I've had some people tell me.

582
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:53,800
Yeah.

583
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,800
That work for them.

584
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:55,800
They say, oh, no, no, no.

585
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,800
They still charge the same price.

586
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,800
They might have bought this for $1.50.

587
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:00,800
They're still charging $3.00.

588
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,800
Yeah.

589
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,800
They'll work it into service fees, convenience fees, et cetera.

590
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,800
Sure.

591
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,800
Yeah.

592
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,800
They'll put a upper hand on that.

593
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:09,800
Yeah.

594
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:10,800
It's like the plus fees.

595
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:11,800
And most people don't look.

596
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,800
Yeah.

597
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,800
Well, I mean, whenever you buy a hotel out of town or even in town, you see plus fees,

598
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,800
service fees.

599
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:19,800
Yeah.

600
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,800
Yeah.

601
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,800
Those are just gouging you.

602
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,800
It's like we're going to the Freaks on Parade concert coming up September.

603
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,800
Yeah.

604
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,800
Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Ministry and Filter.

605
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:29,800
Yeah.

606
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,800
Our tickets are like $60 tickets.

607
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:41,800
And the service fees for the four tickets added up to more than the price of a ticket.

608
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:42,800
Yeah.

609
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,800
Isn't that fucked up?

610
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:45,800
It is.

611
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:51,800
As much as I hate ticket bastard and access and all that, who added all these fees?

612
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,800
Is this municipal fees?

613
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,800
No, this is just for the hell of it fees.

614
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,800
Just because they can?

615
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:58,800
Yeah.

616
00:47:58,800 --> 00:47:59,800
Just because they have a monopoly.

617
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:00,800
Yeah.

618
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:01,800
Yeah, that's it.

619
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:02,800
That's fucked up.

620
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,800
I mean, I saw a photo of their, a copy of their receipt for a different concert and

621
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:13,800
they, the tickets were like in the six to $700 range and he bought two tickets and the

622
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,800
fees were $1,300.

623
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:16,800
Shit.

624
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,800
Because it's based on the price of the ticket.

625
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,800
Uh-huh.

626
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,800
Now nothing, nothing has changed.

627
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,800
You know, you buy a ticket, they do, you know, the exact same thing to get you the ticket.

628
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,800
If the ticket's worth a dollar or $500, it doesn't matter.

629
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,800
They've spent the exact same amount of time and money processing that ticket.

630
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:34,800
But they're not satisfied with that.

631
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,800
They want a bigger cut of the more expensive tickets.

632
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:38,800
Yeah.

633
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,800
So you buy a dollar ticket, you're going to pay 20 cents.

634
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,800
You buy a $500 ticket, you're going to pay 200 bucks.

635
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:44,800
Yeah.

636
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:45,800
All right.

637
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,800
Well, uh, we stopped for a moment there because I had to order some hot coffee because it

638
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,800
is so freaking cold down here.

639
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:54,800
Yeah.

640
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,800
And the wind's blowing in and rain mist is hitting us.

641
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:58,800
Yeah.

642
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,800
So, uh, let's see.

643
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,800
You were talking about robot tipping because I got a couple of articles here about robot

644
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,800
waiters and how they're kind of failing and all this.

645
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:10,800
Yeah.

646
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:16,800
Um, it was an article, uh, initially it was about a Japanese restaurant that was, uh,

647
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:17,800
using robotic servers.

648
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:18,800
Uh-huh.

649
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:24,800
Instead of people coming out and bringing your food, it was just a little, little rectangular

650
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,800
robot that would come out with trays and come to your table and drop it off.

651
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,800
Just a little generic little bastard.

652
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,800
Yeah.

653
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,800
And people were enjoying it because it was, you know, no one's touching their food and

654
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,800
it's nice and impersonal, but yeah, I get it.

655
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:37,800
Here's the kicker.

656
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,800
People are tipping the robot.

657
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,800
It's not a person.

658
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:43,800
It's not alive.

659
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,800
It doesn't need income.

660
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,800
You think the robot prompts it, prompts them?

661
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,800
Like it gives them the opportunity.

662
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:51,800
I'm sure.

663
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:52,800
I'm sure it does too.

664
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:53,800
Yeah.

665
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,800
Well, in Japan that might be considered rude for the robot to say, you know, hey, tip me.

666
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:04,800
But, uh, it would go over, I'm sure in America where the tipping culture is just nuts.

667
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,800
People tip for anything and everything, but yeah, I imagine that, you know, a little robotic

668
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,800
server comes up and gives your plate and some guy tipping it five dollars just because it's

669
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:15,800
cute.

670
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,800
Who gets that money?

671
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:17,800
Or impresses girlfriend.

672
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:18,800
Oh, the owner of the shop, I'm sure.

673
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:19,800
Yeah, I'm sure too.

674
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:20,800
Yeah.

675
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:21,800
It's just another way to get money from you.

676
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:22,800
Wow.

677
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,800
Have you heard about a Pat Sajak being in trouble?

678
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,800
Um, not specifically this time, no.

679
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,800
Well, he gets in a lot of, a lot of little bickering and stuff, people online, because

680
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,800
he says off-color things.

681
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,800
Oh, wow.

682
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,800
Well, here's the deal.

683
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:37,800
I've noticed this.

684
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,800
He's very entertaining because his mind keeps going and he just says little things.

685
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,800
But he does have time to filter into what it sounds like, what it could, what he could

686
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,800
mean by it.

687
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,800
But it's really nothing inadvertently like overly anything.

688
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,800
Oh, okay.

689
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:54,800
It's like little innuendos.

690
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,800
There's enough innuendo that it could, yeah, it passes.

691
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:58,800
Yeah.

692
00:50:58,800 --> 00:50:59,800
Yeah, okay.

693
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,800
But, I mean, as far as entertaining, I don't think there's very many people that could

694
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:04,800
do what he does.

695
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,800
Yeah, he's lasted a long time in that shop.

696
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,800
How quick and how fast he is on his feet.

697
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,800
And, anyhow, this time I think it's warranted because I watched it.

698
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,800
Oh, okay.

699
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,800
And I do think, and I think that he's just being stubborn by not backing down.

700
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,800
Numerous Wheel of Fortune fans are furious.

701
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,800
They feel a contestant was robbed on April 7th, 2023 episode.

702
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:34,800
Alexa Hustra was represented at Texas Women's University.

703
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,800
Was ruled to have incorrectly say the phrase, just winging it.

704
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:40,800
Okay.

705
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,800
And the way she said it with that Texas draw was just winging it is what it almost sounded

706
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:47,800
like.

707
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:48,800
Winning, not winging.

708
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:49,800
Yes.

709
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:50,800
Oh.

710
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:51,800
Yes.

711
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,800
And, yeah, and anyhow, it was, when you listen to it a couple of times, sounds just like

712
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,800
she said, just winging it.

713
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,800
It's so close that they need to just give it to her, but I don't know if they have yet

714
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:04,800
or if they're going to.

715
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,800
Seconds after Pat declared her to have not won, Twitter blew up with controversy.

716
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,800
Many people saying that Pat ripped her off 100 grand.

717
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,800
The lady has a Texas draw and when listened to a couple of times, she might very well

718
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,800
have just said, she might have said just winging it instead of just winning it.

719
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:22,800
Yeah.

720
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,800
Like Pat called.

721
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,800
No word on whether the Wheel of Fortune will look into this matter or not, but I think

722
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,800
they need to.

723
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,800
And look, even if she gets a free one, it's going to be great for publicity.

724
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,800
They're going to go, look, you know what?

725
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,800
They could have been wrong.

726
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,800
So they went ahead and backed their ass up and just gave it to her.

727
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,800
Yeah.

728
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,800
And I think it's a decent thing to do.

729
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,800
Yeah.

730
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,800
Because she could have easily said winging it.

731
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,800
I think she did after I listened to it a couple of times, but I also admit it could be the

732
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,800
power of suggestion.

733
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,800
Do you know what letters were missing when she made her guess?

734
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,800
Was it the G?

735
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,800
Hang on, let's take a look.

736
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,800
Because if it was W-I-N blank, I-N blank.

737
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,800
Then we could just be like, yeah, the nets.

738
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,800
Well, then she would know it's not winging it because the other N would be up there if

739
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:08,800
it was winging it.

740
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:09,800
So she would know that.

741
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:10,800
You know what?

742
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:11,800
Hang on.

743
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,800
So there's no way she would say winging because the second N would be up there instead of

744
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:17,800
a blank spot for the G.

745
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:18,800
Okay.

746
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:19,800
Hang on here.

747
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,800
April 7th is when it was, right?

748
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:32,800
Of course, this may be their point is to get us to always talk about Wheel of Fortune.

749
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,800
That's the, you know what?

750
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,800
Honestly, it's probably that.

751
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,800
They already gave her it.

752
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,800
We're like the fish in the pond and they drop a new lure in and we go, oh, look at that.

753
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:44,800
Everyone look at that.

754
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,800
And they jerk it around a bit and then they drop a new lure in over there.

755
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,800
Hey, everyone look at that over there.

756
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,800
We're being played.

757
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,800
We're all losing our mind over a beer can with a transgender person on it.

758
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:00,800
I know.

759
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,800
Somebody's getting invaded somewhere or a law is being passed that is going to really

760
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,800
screw us.

761
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:06,800
Yeah, I know.

762
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,800
But we're all distracted by a trans beer can.

763
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,800
I know.

764
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:10,800
So we're not paying attention.

765
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:11,800
You know what?

766
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:19,800
And you know, if that's what's going on, then it's probably what we all deserve.

767
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,800
If we're that shallow, we get distracted by this meeting of shit.

768
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,800
We deserve every screwing we're getting.

769
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,800
The thing is, all of these things want to run like a two minute segment.

770
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,800
So I don't know.

771
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,800
I think that, you know what?

772
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:35,800
You're right.

773
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,800
I'm going to take a look at it tonight and I'll come up with my own decision and you

774
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:38,800
can look at it too.

775
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,800
But OK, maybe that's the key then.

776
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,800
What words were left.

777
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:43,800
Yeah.

778
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:44,800
Interesting.

779
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:45,800
Interesting.

780
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,800
But let's see.

781
00:54:50,800 --> 00:55:00,800
The way the bonus puzzle works is if you say one word or one letter, all the letters appear

782
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:01,800
on there.

783
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:02,800
Yeah.

784
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800
So if there was one end, you're right.

785
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,800
All the ends would have showed up.

786
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,800
It would have showed up and they'd have been like, OK, that's not winning.

787
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:09,800
Yeah.

788
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:15,800
She would know it's not winning because the second end wouldn't have been there.

789
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,800
So I'm trying to find a skill level.

790
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:23,800
I don't know if I'll feel a fortune can deny her.

791
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,800
Me neither.

792
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:25,800
It's too obvious.

793
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,800
Yeah.

794
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,800
So let's see.

795
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:28,800
Here it is right here.

796
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:29,800
It's the first one.

797
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:30,800
OK.

798
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:38,800
I'm going to take a look at this here and see what it says.

799
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,800
See, we're doing the internet search so none of y'all have to.

800
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:43,800
Yeah.

801
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:44,800
Yeah.

802
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:45,800
You guys are welcome.

803
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,800
We're doing the grueling search here.

804
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,800
Your phone's going to get hit with all the targeted ads instead of everybody else.

805
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:51,800
But meanwhile, Topher.

806
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:52,800
Oh, no, no, no, no.

807
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,800
Look, the ends are in there.

808
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:57,800
Yeah.

809
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,800
So there's no way it would be winning because the second end would be right there between

810
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:01,800
that end and I.

811
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:02,800
OK.

812
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:03,800
Yeah.

813
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,800
You're right.

814
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:05,800
OK.

815
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:06,800
Yeah.

816
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:07,800
Yeah.

817
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:13,800
Just the way she knows there's not another W in there because a W has already been said.

818
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:14,800
Exactly.

819
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:15,800
Yeah.

820
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,800
Wheel of Fortune doesn't have a leg stand on here.

821
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,800
No, they don't.

822
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:19,800
Nope.

823
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,800
Topher meant nothing against people with one leg.

824
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,800
No.

825
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:25,800
Yeah.

826
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:26,800
Yeah.

827
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,800
Just thought I'd bring that out there.

828
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:35,800
You know, the other day we were talking about plot devices that lazy script writers use.

829
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:43,120
Another one that has, it was used for a while in like the 80s and 90s and has really fallen

830
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:50,440
out of favor is the plot device of The White Savior.

831
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:56,440
Back in the 70s, there was a show called The White Shadow and it was a professional basketball

832
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:02,840
player who was white, who gave up his high paid NBA career because he wanted to give

833
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:03,840
back to the community.

834
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,600
And actually, I remember that show really well since you brought it up.

835
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,600
But go ahead.

836
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,080
I'm sorry.

837
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:20,120
So he moves to an inner city area and becomes a basketball coach at an inner city school

838
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,760
where the majority of the students are black.

839
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,840
And he turns it all around and everybody starts succeeding.

840
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:31,620
That was supposed to be a feel good story.

841
00:57:31,620 --> 00:57:38,520
But at its core, it's saying, look at these poor black people who can't do for themselves.

842
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,160
We better send a white person in there to save them.

843
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,600
And that's the way it comes off.

844
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:48,840
Michelle Pfeiffer did the same thing in Dangerous Minds.

845
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:53,920
White school teacher goes to a black inner city school, saves them all because the magic

846
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,400
white woman shows up and is the savior.

847
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,720
Different strokes.

848
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:58,720
Different strokes.

849
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:03,160
The rich white guy adopts the two black kids and he magically improves their life.

850
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,000
Yeah, The White Savior idea.

851
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,600
And it's really fallen out of fashion.

852
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:19,680
But I think The White Savior storyline was really just another disguise for the hand

853
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,600
of God coming in and fixing everything.

854
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,480
Like the genie in Aladdin.

855
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,240
It's God showing up to do magical things that you can't do on your own and giving you the

856
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,240
life you want.

857
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,960
Oh, what was the other movie?

858
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,960
Blanking.

859
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,440
But anyway.

860
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,440
You said it this morning.

861
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,440
Yeah.

862
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,440
But like Cinderella.

863
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,440
Cinderella is a good one.

864
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:55,040
Here's the fairy godmother represents God coming to give you the life you always wanted,

865
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,200
etc.

866
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:01,400
But Hollywood doesn't want to show Judeo-Christian storylines over and over and over.

867
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:07,800
So they disguise God as the white savior who comes in to fix the broken school or the fairy

868
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:15,200
godmother or the genie in the lamp or like an avatar, the guy who rebels against his

869
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,680
own kind and helps the blue people.

870
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,560
It's like the savior from outside.

871
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,400
And that's a God trope.

872
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:29,880
That's supposed to be God or Jesus coming in from heaven and fixing your life.

873
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,960
But if you're not a Christian, then you don't want to see God or Jesus doing it.

874
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:34,960
So they disguise it.

875
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,840
So they disguise it.

876
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,840
Sometimes it's a cartoon rat.

877
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,120
Sometimes it's a scientist with extraordinary large breasts.

878
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,600
It's always the same idea.

879
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,280
Adam West, Batman.

880
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,280
Yes.

881
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,520
He always had the exact right tool on his belt to get him out of this complex situation

882
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,840
that never will rise again.

883
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,400
But he just happens to have that tool on his belt.

884
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,480
Because that's something that God would be able to do.

885
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:02,480
It's like shark repellent.

886
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,680
It's like anything that came along.

887
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:10,720
They were surfboarding and the Joker was surfboarding and they were after him.

888
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:11,720
And a shark.

889
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,440
It was so cheesy.

890
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:21,000
He's chomping on his leg and he grabs the bat shark repellent.

891
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,160
James Bond is another one.

892
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,400
The villain will put him in a complex situation where he's going to die.

893
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:33,080
Luckily, Q has given him just the right special gadget and he has access to it.

894
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:39,800
So there again, it's like a retelling of God and his special powers.

895
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:48,560
But it's interesting to note over and over again, the savior person seems to be what

896
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,280
most of white middle class America thinks of as Jesus.

897
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,520
Which is a white American.

898
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:01,600
A lot of people have a picture on their wall of who they say, oh look, that picture, that's

899
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:02,600
Jesus.

900
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:03,600
Like, yeah, you weren't around.

901
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,080
You have no idea what he looks like.

902
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:09,240
But it makes you happy to think that he looked like you.

903
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,680
Blond, blue eyes, six feet tall.

904
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,120
Although he was in a different region with very different looking people.

905
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,120
Probably Arab.

906
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,120
Probably Arab.

907
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:19,120
But who knows.

908
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,600
But anyway, that's the thing is we don't know.

909
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:31,440
But for American consumption, the good guy or the good girl, the person with all the

910
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:38,320
powers to come in and swoop in and make everything right, generally is a white person.

911
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,320
Well it was.

912
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,320
Now it's changed now.

913
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:46,480
You have the big time actors that come in, like the Will Smiths, well it was Denzel Washington.

914
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,720
Now it's like a, yeah, I mean now it's changed quite a bit.

915
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:54,280
But for a long time we had that period where they came in, swooped in.

916
01:01:54,280 --> 01:02:00,280
At most a person of color would be like the sidekick, but never the main hero.

917
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:01,720
That person's in a lot of trouble.

918
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,000
Whoever's having the blood moon problems.

919
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,000
That's a cord drilling.

920
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,640
They're going to have to bust into something and fix it.

921
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:09,640
This is serious.

922
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:10,640
Yeah, this is serious shit.

923
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:16,160
Sorry on the side note watching the traffic around here.

924
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:25,240
Well I've noticed some equality creeping in to how villains and heroes are cast on TV

925
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:26,240
shows.

926
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,760
You're familiar with the Lifetime Movie Network?

927
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,760
Yeah.

928
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:35,840
It's basically there's two channels in the Lifetime.

929
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:44,080
There's one Lifetime channel where it's movies designed to scare the crap out of women.

930
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:49,680
Because every plot line, every story line is a vulnerable woman in trouble getting her

931
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,000
life basically threatened or her children's life threatened.

932
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,520
Like Killer Nanny, my husband's killer ex-girlfriend.

933
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,180
The Pool Boy Nightmare.

934
01:02:59,180 --> 01:03:04,960
It's always a white woman in desperate trouble and how she gets out of it.

935
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,120
Movie after movie is like that.

936
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:15,160
And then there's the Hallmark channel where it's their movies pretty much the basic story

937
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:21,560
line is everybody in the movie is in their 20s, everybody in the movie is gorgeous no

938
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,560
matter what.

939
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:23,560
All the women are gorgeous.

940
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,080
All the men are gorgeous.

941
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,640
The plumber down the street, he's gorgeous.

942
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:33,840
Everybody is just beautiful and they all have very simple minor problems that are easily

943
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,680
solved and everybody's happy at the end.

944
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,160
It's designed to make you feel good and happy about everything.

945
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:45,520
But I've noticed that in the terror movies where it's supposed to scare the crap out

946
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:54,720
of you that up until recently the villain has always either been a man or a white woman.

947
01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:01,080
Like the ex-girlfriend, ex-mistress or the stalker boyfriend or the one night stand.

948
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:06,320
But here recently the villains, they're starting to cast black women as the villains.

949
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,760
You said this and we never did get this on.

950
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,920
And I started noticing you're right.

951
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,360
Now that's equality.

952
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,840
The entertainment industry feels comfortable enough that they can portray a black woman

953
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,200
on screen as someone you want to hate.

954
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,280
And also notoriety too.

955
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,800
You make more credit being a villain than you do a hero I think in the movie industry.

956
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,120
Yeah and it shows your range.

957
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,640
People remember that.

958
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,520
I've got one for you.

959
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:37,120
Is it a Nissan commercial where they have the new Nissan sales extravaganza?

960
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:42,320
Where it started with a guy and a chick doing like Spy vs. Spy where like the chick's taking

961
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,280
off from her wedding or whatever.

962
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:45,280
Oh yeah.

963
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,520
And the guy says, well the latest is the butler did it.

964
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:48,880
Have you seen that commercial?

965
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:49,880
Yeah.

966
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:50,880
Okay.

967
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:55,520
Have you noticed in the middle of there, he goes, although no crimes were committed, it

968
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,440
has a disclaimer built in it.

969
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:02,640
And the guy, the guy, the black guy that says it appears the butler did it, the butler's

970
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,960
a shifty, skinny white guy like looking real evil.

971
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:12,880
And then he gets in his car and then the hero gets in his car and chases after him.

972
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:13,880
Yeah.

973
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:14,880
Okay.

974
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:16,880
In the middle of that he goes, although no laws were broken.

975
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:22,000
And then it starts going into, I was just like, does anyone catch this?

976
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,920
Do they have to say that this guy really did not kill somebody or whatever, whatever you

977
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:28,920
think they did?

978
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:29,920
Well, it's like in the 90s.

979
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:31,240
It would appear the butler did it.

980
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:32,240
That could be anything.

981
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,040
Maybe he took someone's shoelace.

982
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:35,040
You know, I don't know.

983
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:36,040
Yeah.

984
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,040
Well, yeah.

985
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:41,960
You read a car's owner manual from the fifties and it'll tell you how to rebuild your engine.

986
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:47,000
You read a car's owner's manual for today and it tells you not to drink the engine oil.

987
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Yes.

988
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,000
So that shows you where we are.

989
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,760
So here we are in society.

990
01:05:55,760 --> 01:06:02,680
I've noticed another one is for a long time commercials have loved the trope of the useless

991
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:03,680
white guy.

992
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,000
You know, he's always the butt of the joke.

993
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,920
He's the guy that isn't using your product.

994
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,120
He doesn't get it.

995
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:10,120
Doesn't understand.

996
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,680
So useless white guy.

997
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:20,000
There's some insurance company that's got the TV dad thing where the guy's asking somebody

998
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,000
to advise.

999
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,160
Oh, why don't I ask TV dad?

1000
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,200
When his real dad's standing right there and already suggested it.

1001
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:27,200
Yeah.

1002
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:31,680
Well, they started out, you know, the TV dad is a black man that kind of looks dressed up

1003
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:36,600
like Mr. Huxtable on the Bill Cosby show.

1004
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:37,600
Yeah, yeah.

1005
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:38,600
A little differences.

1006
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:39,600
They may have a little bit more overweight.

1007
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:40,600
Yeah.

1008
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:41,600
But yeah, yeah.

1009
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:42,600
So enough to bring back.

1010
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,600
The same type of likeability when you see him.

1011
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,000
It's like, oh, look, just a gentle old guy.

1012
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Yeah.

1013
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,040
You're supposed to think of the good things about the Cosby show.

1014
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,040
Exactly.

1015
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,760
But not think of Bill Cosby himself, who's a sick predator.

1016
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,720
I think that's why they made this guy a little bit heavier.

1017
01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,720
Yeah.

1018
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:00,720
But you know, TV dad.

1019
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:01,720
And sitting down on a couch.

1020
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:02,720
Yeah.

1021
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,320
But that is absolutely Bill Cosby as whatever Bill Huxtable on the Cosby show.

1022
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,080
Yeah, they watch you think of the Huxtables.

1023
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,080
Yeah.

1024
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:14,840
So as the first couple of commercials, the TV dad would be the one they paid attention

1025
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:15,840
to.

1026
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,080
And he's saying the right things, or he's saying the exact same thing that the white

1027
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,360
dad said, only people were paying attention to the TV dad.

1028
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:23,360
Exactly.

1029
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,360
And people go over and, oh, go ahead.

1030
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,360
I'm sorry.

1031
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:27,360
But now that's changed.

1032
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:34,520
In a recent commercial, it's like a teenage girl, a white teenage girl, who is asking

1033
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:35,520
about insurance.

1034
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,000
And then the TV dad explains something to her, and then she rolls her eyes like he's

1035
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,000
the biggest idiot, and she can't believe it.

1036
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,500
Oh, I think I've seen this one.

1037
01:07:44,500 --> 01:07:48,720
So now they're portraying not only is it just the useless white guy in the ads, now it's

1038
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,640
the useless guy.

1039
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,160
Whatever ethnicity you are, if you're a guy in the commercial, you're the useless idiot,

1040
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,160
the fool.

1041
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:58,160
I want to go a step further.

1042
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,160
That's another thing.

1043
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:04,640
I was going to say that's another way of showing that commercial producers are getting more

1044
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:09,480
comfortable with black actors in the commercials, that they're willing to make the black person

1045
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,280
in the commercial look like the fool.

1046
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,320
Now that's something they wouldn't dare do.

1047
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:18,160
No, they wouldn't have done that for probably at least a 12 year period, I agree.

1048
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,520
Or if you were clowning the black guy in the commercial, it was always done by a white

1049
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:22,520
woman.

1050
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:23,520
Yes, it was.

1051
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,000
Wendy's does that over and over.

1052
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,320
They have a black guy who's getting clowned by a white woman, and that's safe.

1053
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Yeah, that's safe.

1054
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:38,280
So the insurance commercial is still, it's a young white woman, like 17, 18 or whatever,

1055
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,920
and she's clowning the black guy, but it's safe because it's a white woman doing it.

1056
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:42,920
I know.

1057
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,360
If it was a white man doing it, commercial would never air.

1058
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:46,360
It would have never aired.

1059
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,760
It would never air because, oh, it's offensive.

1060
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,520
They're willing to accept being berated and humiliated by a white woman.

1061
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,520
Apparently that's okay.

1062
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,520
No, it's really.

1063
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,520
I know.

1064
01:08:58,520 --> 01:08:59,520
I know.

1065
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:00,520
Oh, God.

1066
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:29,560

Where are the douchebags?

Oh, my God.

1084
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:08,880
Someone took a dump in the corner.

1085
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:09,880
Oh, jeez.

1086
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:10,880
Glad they're gone.

1087
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:11,880
Let's just hope they don't come back.

1088
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:28,520
Man, that smells.
