That's not true. But rarely. I generally like people. People from Pittsburgh have met plenty. But generally, the people I meet from Pittsburgh, including my wife, are wonderful people. As Comedy Central presents stand-up special Truly Hilarious, he just dropped a very funny sketch comedy album. Funny songs and sketches. A lost art.

Please welcome back to the show, the brilliant, the talented, Joe Quisala! Joe! Fellas, hello. I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a song. I was not briefed. We'll give you a second. You prepared a number of songs on your new album, Funny Songs and Sketches. I don't know how new it is.

Very good transition. Yes, you can hear all my silly little songs on the album. There's a few of those. I love a comedy album. We were just saying this off mic We were actually just talking off mic It's funny How much we miss the comedy

The sketches and songs albums Of the heyday of Adam Sandler My entry point into comedy Was listening to fucking funny albums Totally And it's funny how everything just turned into Here's my stand up show And an album But that's your time to fucking do fun shit that you can't do on

stage and i think yeah i'm really looking forward to listening i agree thank you yeah you know and i listen i love stand-up there's a lot of stand-up albums out there being released constantly and you know i understand that the effort to do a stand-up album is you just do your act and you record it. I get why that is the the road most traveled by comedians. But I agree. It's like, I don't know if you're going to put something out. Like, why not just do something that is for the format? Right. Yes. What was so exciting to me, like, yeah, I'll do funny songs and then we'll, you know, try to create a little, little comedic soundscape,

uh, with these sketches and stuff. And it was a, it was a ton of fun. And it's like one of those things too, like, especially cause so many musicians are so many comedians typically have some kind of musical bone in their body.

Like, you know, cause they're both sort of timing arts. Like you always, I'm always like, just like, I always love seeing that dimension of people too. And they're like to combine it is always dope. and you got some fucking amazing people on this album uh people yeah i was very lucky to you know convince slash trick some funny people to

lend their voices uh nick kroll david cross iowa debory andy richter carl tart yeah yeah i heard carl tart in there i was like that's carl tart that's unmistakably carl yeah yeah you got tim baltz too from righteous gemstones it's got it oh yeah tim baltz is what he's you have no tim for so long back in our chicago days really really funny guy yeah amazing yeah the the first the everyone's to laugh at you. Is that the first Adam Sandler album like sketch comedy album that the one with medium pace? Yeah, I believe so. A medium pace made me laugh so hard. It like changed the trajectory of my life when I was, you know, 11 years old. 11 years old see and this is it's funny because like we're fucking funny we're just we're like four years apart jack so then i got in and what the hell happened to me which was the album that came out in like three years after that one and then yeah yeah it was all it was all downhill

from there yeah all right joe we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about today. We're going to talk about, there have been some kind of quiet victories in the story on police violence and just like, you know, horrible policing in these United States. And so we're going to talk about two of those.

One having to do with the quote-unquote medical condition excited delirium that came up has come up a lot in the course of just wrongful death and you know unjust uses of force by the police particularly against black men and brown people so we're going to talk about that we're also going to talk about new or New Orleans has accidentally made a really good case for defunding the police. That's not what we're saying, though. No, no. That's my impression of someone from New Orleans. No.

And Miles, you brought a profound question that needed to be asked. I'm fucked up, man. What is happening with fridge manufacturers and the fridge magnet? They're abandoning it. They're going away. You said going and I said abandoning. They're abandoning it.

We're both fucked. They're abandoning it. I could care less about us struggling with our words. You dug into what the reason is and it is the most classist bullshit I've ever seen. It doesn't even make sense. It's so wild. They're trying to save us from ourselves, from having crappy-

Get the fuck off. Fucking- Get out of my kitchen with that. This is wild. Yeah. So we'll talk about it. We might just have to talk about that like right away but no we'll we'll get to it uh all that plenty more we also have to give a shout out to

the user who pointed out when we were talking about song sequels pointed out that we missed one of my favorite songs of all time shook one's part two yep The reason I would say that I missed that. Oh, wow. Now we're doing excuses? I did not know it was an actual sequel. Because I was not familiar with Shook Ones Part 1. Yeah.

Maybe it was just called Shook Ones. You don't call it Shook Ones Part 1, obviously. You call it Die Hard Part 1 when Die Hard came out. But Shook Ones Part 1, obviously. They didn't call it Die Hard Part 1 when Die Hard came out. But Shook Ones, the original, didn't come out on the first album. Yeah, no. Like, it wasn't on that album. Shook Ones Part 2 just came out.

It was like Leonard Part 6. Shook Ones Part 2 is like their, I believe, their debut single. Like, they came out on Shook Ones Part 2, which I think is maybe maybe genius marketing it is genius marketing but i never took it we have a depth of catalog you're not even familiar with motherfuckers right right right yeah so enter the 36th chamber being the wu-tang album what about the 35 previous what about the first 35 i have so much listening i'm not caught up yeah or you're gonna be like me when like the mcu it's like well i can't get into this now previous chambers. But what about the first 35? Hold on, hold on. I have so much listening to do. I'm not caught up. Yeah.

Or are you going to be like me when like the MC, it's like, well, I can't get into this now. If there's 35 other chambers I need to listen to before I get to them. Sorry.

Yeah. But it's, I was trying to think of like a film corollary where there was a completely unknown first and then the second is the thing that hit.

And I guess like mad max would be that like the generation yeah yeah yeah first the first mad max was just like it came out in australia and was like kind of you know an underground success and then they made like the road warrior the one that like everybody eventually found out about with a budget. And it was kind of a remake of the first one. Not really, actually. So yeah, maybe like... Yeah, it does have a corollary.

But song sequels, I will still say, somewhat rare. Have you guys ever seen or heard of Southland Tales? Yes. You see Richard Kelly follow up to Donnie Darko. Oh, yeah, right, right. It's confusing for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that it's meant to be like parts four through six of a story that begins

in a graphic novel series that was not released, but during the film festival when it premiered, they tried to give them out to people unsuccessfully. You're going to need to do some background reading. The movie was parts four through six, but here's one through six. You can kind of get on board.

It worked with... I love Richard Kelly's ambition to be like, this is going to be the next Star Wars. Start in episode four, but the thing that people underestimate is star Wars is so stupid. Like the, the first star Wars is so simple and very simple.

Like it's like dark, dark side is bad, dark and light is good. Now light stars to do some wars wars like when it's that simple you can get away with doing like a four five six to kick things off but yeah not richard kelly's god bless him yeah god bless him all right before we get to any of it joe we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history recently i searched oreo most stuff and that's stuff s-t-u-f are you guys familiar with the different tiers of stuff that oreo is now fucking with i mean i thought it ended at double oh no you you are gonna send a beautiful uh

awakening here so obviously double Double Stuff changed the game. Right. You know, complete paradigm shift. But they didn't stop there. After that, they have something called Mega Stuff. Okay.

Which, you know, is just, as you can imagine, more stuff. Even more stuff. Too much stuff, some would say. Yeah. You might, but some of us live dangerously.

Mega stuff you can get in the stores pretty readily now. Yeah. Most stuff you have to go behind the grocery store into the alley. Most. They've got most stuff, and the amount of stuff is obscene. And my girlfriend and I saw it when we were in Oklahoma. And we were like, oh, they've got most stuff now. We got to try that. And now that we're back in LA, we are having a hard time finding it. And so I'm doing the work and I'm attempting to find this Oreo most stuff.

And that is what people mean when they use that phrase. As I, in my life, yes. Doing the work of trying to find the Mo stuff. I think they are, they look to be available on Amazon. Yes, you can get them on Amazon. You can get them on a website called Galactic Snacks, which I just did a gigantic purchase of and did not order the Oreo Mo stuff

because I assumed I'd be able to find it. This happened in between my discovering they existed and realizing they're not available near me. They look like they are Oreo cookies smashing a marshmallow. Like that's how big the stuff is. It's that girthy. One cookie has 11 grams of sugar hell yes hell yes let's go

so you eat five of those and you've already hit your daily sugar limit but yeah and i will those are just that's just like the fda's opinion man that's just like your opinion man do you have a so my contention for for me i guess it's not a contention. It's just my personal, you know, taste is the optimum amount of cookie to stuff ratio is Big Mac-ing two Oreos together. So you pull one of the cookie sides off and you put it on top of another Oreo. So you have three cookie to stuff ratio. And then a Lucyy with with no cream yeah and then you just have the lucy and you just you know you have that as in a moose bush as in a moose bush you you put you sprinkle it over your cereal the next morning you can just

you can just put it in like a plastic baggie and just crunch it up and that that becomes an ingredient for future ice cream treats no one's gonna stop you yeah wait so how do we get region locked out of getting most stuff like you're saying you saw in the wild in oklahoma like come you come to california and then you're like i can't fucking find it anywhere this is something i will be reaching out to newsome yeah i will be very strongly worded in in my uh in my letter for all the California bashing that Sean Hannity does. This is like really easy. I think to get people like turned up on, they're like,

you know, they can't even have most stuff Oreos. That's how much these snowflake. I'd be like, ah, he's got a, yeah, that's got a damn point right there.

What I was able to determine is, and I've never done this before. I'm not a door dash guy. It's just not something I do, but I could order it for, there's a pickup auction not a door dash guy it's just not something i do but i could order it for there's a pickup auction option for door dash where you can go to i think their warehouse or something and i it's in downtown and i considered ordering two dollars worth of uh most stuff cookies and picking it up but i'm not there yet i didn't make it to that point, but it's

probably around the corner. Embrace it. Just embrace it. Is double stuff, do you have a preferred ratio of cookie to stuff? I think double stuff is probably the right amount. Double stuff. And there's also, if you go

in the other direction, you've got the thins. If you've seen the Oreo thins, that's way too little. But for some freaks, let their flag fly with the Thins. Yeah, exactly. I'm going deep dish style with my Oreos, for sure. I feel like to the point where whenever recently I bought them, I'll just buy double stuff. I'm like, that's really the standard for me now?

At this point, yeah, we've calibrated to double stuff being saying deep dish style though makes me think of like a cookie within just the a lot of cream on top and then you cut into it with a knife and eat it no top cookie at all yeah no Oreo pie yeah yeah oh god shocking that Oreo pie is not like just a straight up Oreo cookie cookie crust filled with nothing but... To the brim with stuff. Oh, baby. We're onto something. Yeah.

I mean, that's pretty gross to even imagine, but I would try it for sure. Joe, what's something you think is overrated? Las Vegas. Overrated. Las Vegas. A lot of friends who... Las Vegas is a destination. First time I went, I was like, I cannot believe how much of a scam this openly is. They're really not hiding it.

They're selling the high roller lifestyle to people who can't afford it. And those people are lapping it up like dogs. You know, they're selling the high roller lifestyle to people who can't afford it. And those people are lapping it up like dogs. And it's really it almost doesn't even feel like deception because it's it's all there. You get all the information is there. You will go and you will lose a ton of money with the promise, with the very American promise that you could get rich. Right.

Buying into this system that is built specifically to take everything you have. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Luck be elated tonight. Hey. You're not going to win with that attitude, Joey. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you. You got to lose 300 to make 300. You know what I mean? You got to lose money to make money. You got to lose your child. If you're tapping out at 200, you never were in the game pal you gotta lose your children's entire college fund to make uh children's college at a blackjack table they're like hey you leaving already and i'm like yeah dude i'm broke they're like you gotta lose like you know you gotta come on at

least 300 to start winning i'm, that sounds fucking wild, dude. I was reckless even cashing in like $100 here. Right. No, totally. And I'm also really astounded by how not... I mean, we were affecting that kind of Rat Pack-y voice, but you go into a casino and there's nothing classy about it. It's just like a bunch of flashing lights. Everything is like a giant iPhone.

Giant iPhones that take your money. These huge screens where at least, I don't know, maybe at one point there was a charm. And you can still pull a lever if you want, but most of it is digital. And just gaudy and not... You kind of want... I mean, I would want like want like oh let's get a little bit a little bit of velvet a little this and maybe you get that some places but for the most part it's all just really yellow and gross yeah i i it's so funny

like i have such a i used to go there a lot when i was younger you know because i was just kind of into like you know a lot of my friends are just into that. Like, let's go, I'm going Vegas, man. Right. And then I hadn't gone for a few years. And then Jack and I recently went over the summer to go see like the NBA summer league. And it was like surreal where like, I was feeling like I was watching like an old part of myself die while I was there.

And also seeing like a new future for us. Like, I was like, wait, these smells, like I used to be blacked out in these lobbies, like not knowing what was going on. And now I'm like, it feels a little different. I just. Is it an underage drinking destination? Like when you live three hours from it? Because like I, when I was in high school,

I drove to from Boston to Montreal to drink. Oh, to get fucked up? Wow. Yeah. Nah, I mean. That's how bad my drinking problem was it was just like to joe's point like it was like i was on that mirage shit where i'm like let's go to vegas now i only have circus circus money so like to stay there so like for sure i'm place i'm gonna stay is so fucked up that i'm just gonna be so fucked up that i don't have to go back to that room until like four in the morning right and but at the same time like i

was always like feeling myself when i was there because i was putting so much like weight into like partying in vegas and stuff uh got it yeah yeah hey but you can drive a lambo out there and shoot a fucking machine gun so yeah you know that's all that matters got me right back that's all i want to do when i wake up in the morning i wake up quaking with just a desire to shoot a fucking machine gun so yeah you know that's all that matters got me right back that's all i want to do when i wake up in the morning i wake up quaking with just a desire to shoot a machine gun out of the window of a lambo and drive by yeah what's uh what's something you think is underrated joe math oh nah fuck that i feel like and it might be a distinctly American thing, but I feel like it has almost become hacky to be like, hey, I'm not good with math.

Actually, my little thing about me. Yeah, actually, I don't do math. Yeah, I mean, like, I was never good at math. Maybe being bad at math actually leads directly to my enjoyment of Las Vegas. I will say. These things might be connected. Now that we get into it, I think they might be. It's magic.

I feel like we are taught math in a pretty bad way. I think it is made out to be more difficult than it actually is. Right. And we have such a weird hang-up about math because you know famously our country has ranked pretty low when it comes to our kids doing math and so recently they have tried to uh change this you ever see those like viral posts where a parent is like look what they're trying to teach they're trying to teach my kid math i knows how to do math okay and this ain't it it's like it's this thing called common new math yeah

common core and like clearly we are trying to address a problem like we can all agree everybody hates math and we're not good at it and so they try to change it to make it a little bit more intuitive and those same people who are like i'm not good at math they see it. They're like, hey, this is a math. What the fuck are all these lines talking to? Yeah. A friend of mine showed me her son's math homework, like in a text thread with some other friends. And she's like, she's like, I'm she's like, I'm realizing

that we were we're fucking dumb. Like, yeah, like with the way like she's like, this makes more sense. I was like, I'm so set in my old ways of how I like conceptualize numbers and things that like i can't move on to that but when i saw that i was like oh interesting like i think just through brute force i was just like memorizing relationships to numbers totally and that's why i was decent at math because like my memory recall was good really not because i was like oh this is how they go together and i'm like seven and a five always

make a two you know what i mean like just stuff like that was how i was seeing it but yeah yeah and that's not how like i'm similar like i was pretty decent at that memorization but like you you really want to think more and i think what they're doing is like seven and five you take the three from the five make that seven to ten and then ten and two makes sense right right right yeah i got yeah like if you want to picture how math works for me just like picture the parts and like beautiful mind where there's like a cloud of numbers just going around the head like it's all but you still don't know what the fuck's going on all so easy for me guys it's just it fucking every time someone asks

me to do math i do the goodwill hunting thing. I light this shit on fire. And I say, you have any idea how easy this is for me? And that helps me then not have to do the math problem. Right. Which I'm not good at. I just love the idea, though, that you do see all the numbers floating in space, but it's just so disorienting. It's a storm.

Yeah. Swatting away like flies. Yeah. Like the fuck you swatting that man very unbeautiful mind i have but yeah i have a well one of my sons is a math guy he just like it's always made sense to him that's great he like excitedly like told me a trick he like figured out for doing like adding big numbers this morning. And I was like, wow. I was never excited.

You're like, oh, all right. Didn't I teach you not to be showing off all the time? I thought I raised you better than that. I said not to make daddy look dumb like that. For some reason, I thought the Common Core thing was called New Math. And it was being spelled in my brain and you like new metal metal yeah for sure why wouldn't it i'm just saying if you wanted to catch on maybe try listening to a marketing genius and spell it and you math yeah apply the puddle of mud rules to math exactly exactly

all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network,

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We are. We got two stories that are kind of small, under-the-radar victories in the war against unpunished, rampant police violence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So one of them involves a medical condition, right, Miles?

Quote-unquote medical condition. Yeah. I use quote-unquote because this is something called excited delirium that has been used to rationalize or justify or explain the deaths of people that have been in police custody. And it shows up like a lot as the cause of death on the death certificates of, you know, disproportionately of black men that have died in police custody. And it's now being debunked by the same medical group that was like being like, yeah, it's a fucking thing. And now the state of California has explicitly banned doctors and medical examiners from using the term as a cause of death, which is which is some somehow a breakthrough for for our justice system.

But like recently it was it was used to explain the death of if you remember that innocent young black man, Elijah McClain, who was choked and then he was dosed with ketamine in police custody. The cause of his death was listed as, you know, excited delirium. And the term has been used like for decades. And like even Derek Chauvin's defense team considered using it to explain how George Floyd died. And the fucked up thing is this condition has, again, it's disproportionately used to describe like the deaths or explain the deaths of black and brown people in police custody like in the 80s they would be like okay this black guy died in police custody that will call it excited delirium this white guy it was complications from cocaine toxicity like it was that like sort of like 50 50 with stuff of how things were being explained

and typically these deaths result after someone is being violently restrained by police and or tased and or sedated with ketamine and like the description of excited delirium sounds like a fucking racist psa from like the fucking reconstruction era about like the dangers of the black person this is according to the 2009 paper excited delirium symptoms include superhuman strength being impervious to pain aggressive behavior and sudden death and you're like what the fuck wait what i hate sudden death yeah just throw a sudden death in there but first of all superhuman strength is not a thing that a human can have like that's what what the fuck are you talking like that's from a work of fiction super Superhuman strength. Like you're. Yeah. Detective comics number one.

I believe. Right. It's called Superman. Impervious to pain. It's just like we look back at like hysteria and wandering uterus. And we're like, wow, those people sure were dumb in the 1800s and how they treated women. And it's like, no, you we live in a time like that like that is happening regularly every day they're using fucking pseudoscience somehow yeah to make things worse

like so one of like the like the most dominant manufacturers of tasers axon like they make body cameras and shit they have connections with the like medical board that was tasked with looking into excited delirium because taser manufacturers always point to excited delirium to explain how someone could have died when their weapons were used during someone being in police custody they're like it's like their go-to thing so like there's a whole like lobbying effort on the on behalf of the taser industry to also get this to become like a commonplace explanation for people dying in police custody. So again, it's also this whole sort of quote unquote medical condition has been used to justify sedating people with ketamine,

again, which is terrible. And again, the group that first began to legitimize the term, the American College of Emergency Physicians, they're now reversing course on this previously published study. So it's a first step. Obviously, California is the first state to like explicitly ban this. And maybe other places will follow suit. But I mean, this has been something that like in the medical community, there's been a lot of pushback on the like, I mean, I don't know if you can really get away with saying this is like a thing. And it's been, we're now finally getting to that place where it seems like it's becoming more mainstream to say this is fucking nonsense and it's just it's a terrible justification for death in police custody yeah it's just a rationalization to kill innocent people in custody yeah and the term itself really does like in 2023 you're like

this sounds like a movie from the 40s where Cary Grant slaps a woman and is like, you're hysterical. And they go to a doctor and it's like, well, I believe she has excited delirium. The doctor played by Ronald Reagan. Yeah, exactly. Well, I believe she has excited delirium and we'll have to lock her away for a while. Yeah, she needs ketamine immediately so much so much of the police the shit that the police rely on like whether it be like you know their tactics for solving crimes for quote-unquote solving crime like they're so

fucking bad at their jobs in so many different ways and with all In ways that have been seeing a massive drop in murders. Homicides have fallen by 24% compared to this time last year. And according to experts, it's not exactly clear why. Experts love to take a guess when the answer is, when their guess is, like, I think we need more cops or something. Poor people are just inherently violent. That is my expert opinion. In this case, the experts are like, we're not clear here.

We got to pump the brakes on this one. But yeah, so it's not just homicides. Aggravated batteries have fallen by 20%. Non-fatal shootings are down 18%. And it would lead the brain a brain such as mine raised it on movies where cops are the fucking protagonist like what's going on here are did they put more cops on the street are there better cops what's happening and the answer is no there are way less cops the new orleans pd has been steadily hemorrhaging officers for more than a decade because of early retirements 20% of their workforce in just the last three years alone.

They're just like, they're at crisis levels to the point that the mayor is not funding their department. Like they want to be decreasing. Like, well, who's the money going to go to? Yeah.

He's not fun. Yeah. At the levels that it normally is. They're still way overfunded, but they're just not being funded at the full levels because they have like almost half the number of officers that they're supposed to have. And so less cops on the street. Crime is going down. The police are actively trying to boost their numbers by.

And this is just so this is why this is such an interesting thing because it's happening in like a panic so the police it's not like a a pilot program being launched by non-police forces yeah like it's not a pilot program that the police can then sabotage and like get their hands around like fucking with it and you know bake like messing with the numbers it's something that the police are involved with because they're in a desperate situation because they don't have enough police and so because of that they're trying a lot of the things that people have been suggesting we do instead of like just over funding police forces such as hiring unarmed civilians to respond to less risky police duties. So they're like they have former police, unarmed people showing up when there's like a car accident,

for instance. And those things don't get escalated into a shooting like they might otherwise. They're trying to poach people from the church through setting up recruitment events at a local seminary. Well, it's wild that this is working in, of all places, New Orleans, where, in my experience, a person off the street is holding a yard's worth of frozen daiquiri and screaming, where's the jazz uh and that those people are decidedly more qualified to de-escalate than the police is really saying something yeah yeah and i think to be fair my catchphrase is where's the jazz where's the jazz i do like to enter a room and just say that while giving jazz hands you dress like one of the ladies from the wendy's commercial

you're like you get it i'm not saying where's the beef i'm saying where's it anyway but like i think this points again to like you're saying like alternatives to policing are about like the like community intervention about being able like the community itself being able to to like that knows each other can solve certain things better than a armed goon squad that pulls up and just like who is it this guy okay get your hands up like you know what i mean like it doesn't it's just not working the same way but i just love again that they're like oh my god the numbers are going down how do you explain and they can't be and it's not like well we have less uh we got nothing we're still looking into it it could be that we're basically maybe funding some programs better too i don't know I don't want to say that out loud because that undercuts the whole fucking narrative that we rely on.

But I really think there's something like when it is coming from outside the police force and the police view it as a like opponent, they will like fuck with it. will like fuck with it but in this case because it's coming out of crisis and because they just like can't hire people like i it seems like it's being allowed to do what it does which is like actually make people's lives better like we we talked about the thing of the idea of just like some people instead of having armed police you have just some people, just like people who are able to use their brain to help solve problems like and who are put in this position because they have empathy. And, you know, it's not like a thing where they are going into this position because they want to be able to legally carry a gun and shoot people. But instead, they are interested in solving helping their fellow like citizens solve problems in their lives like this has been a long-term thing in eugene oregon that has worked really well and like when you read accounts of it it's not complicated

it's like this person is under the influence they're having a disagreement with their partner and so this person like comes and like gives them a ride somewhere to like get them out of the situation and like they're too drunk to drive somewhere and so it's just like it's like what is just like being a member of the community and it's not that complicated it's just it becomes complicated when the person you're putting in that category is a police officer with a fucking gun who is like you know part of an institution that has just been like baking and basting and fucking racism for decades and decades and decades also like the conflict resolution model of a police officer is hey do this thing i'm saying no yeah get your fucking hands up it's

like what yeah like it's so funny when you watch like police interactions in other countries and like you know i was like i'm amazed with the patience of this police officer because i'm like in my mind i'm like yeah man just fucking get your gun out right like and just fucking threaten them yeah and and the fact that that kind of like sequence of escalation doesn't happen i'm sure leads to a lot of better outcomes but yeah more than that i mean like i think too this is part of the larger trend that that you know violent crimes have been like went down in 2022 too yeah and this is like part of the whole like crime wave shit that was going on to 2023 like crimes have been going down the only thing

just the caveat there is hate crimes and property crimes have gone up a lot though that's the fucked up part uh violent crimes and things like that have decreased but hate crimes and property crimes yeah but that's so some people are like well like yeah the pandemic and crime and like murder spiked during the pandemic but But when you look at the explanation for what actually happened during the pandemic, the thing that most non-biased experts seem to have settled on- It was the hoax. It was that it was things like after-school programs

and these non-police programs where community members get involved in the lives of at-risk youth and they have programs. The sorts of things that aren't sexy, that aren't staffed by people with the same job as every action movie protagonist. They're staffed by social workers

and things like that. So they don't make movies about them, but they are actually functional. And though like the police didn't stop working during the pandemic, like their numbers have gone down and continued to go down. But that that has actually had a beneficial effect on crime. The thing that went away during the pandemic and has since come back are programs like that. For instance, like the New Orleans story, there's like this summer work program for young people. So because they can't hire enough cops, like just purely by accident, New Orleans can't hire enough cops because everyone's like, no, fuck that. Why would I

want to be a fucking New Orleans police officer? They have money left over to invest in this thing, this summer work program for young people. And so last year it employed 1000 people instead of the usual 200. And like, that's the sort of thing that you actually see have an impact. Like, and yeah, it's just the, the way people talk about this, they're like, oh, well, the reason the numbers are going down is because of, there was a spike during the pandemic. And it's like, yeah, but like the, the explanation, like the accepted explanation among experts that is like very clear cut is not the one that you're going, that you're going with. Like, yeah, I don't like that.'t like that because then that's going to lead people

to think we don't need as many cops. It was actually our social media team. There's another one, Bridgeport, Connecticut, that Miles is referencing, has similarly seen a significant decrease in violent crime since they've been short 60 officers. Again, this is like, I'm sure it's a number of factors but just remember during the pandemic all the cops being like they you don't like me well i don't like you and i'm not coming to your call you i'm not coming back i retire and then so as these like an adult service have retired yeah like the way adults they do have their arms crossed and then alternate between arms crossed and plugging their ears. But they, you know, so as there have been less officers, crime continues to go down like across the country.

And this Mayor Joe Gannon of Bridgeport, Connecticut, he did not say, and we're not sure, we're still looking into it. He actually has an explanation. And it is that the department's social media presence has gone up some good tiktoks yeah some solid solid tweets i mean that's real police work yeah i've always said this and and knowing like when any anytime i see a police like social media presence it's always a facebook group you know what i mean and i'm sure that's what it is. Like, yeah, man, they were posting crime updates and we're showing people what we're doing to build trust on your Facebook group. And people are commenting. The engagement is high. Yeah. One

guy said, I'm going to stop dealing drugs because of this update. I mean, folks, this shit is working. Our Facebook group is working there's a new york times op-ed uh this year that pointed to a small town where half the force quit and crime dropped again like it's just i don't know it's pretty straightforward and people don't want it to be as straightforward as it as it is yeah and i mean obviously like you know it's we don't want it to be as straightforward as it as it is. Yeah. And I mean, obviously, like, you know, it's we don't know the exact relationships. But my God, if that's not damning when it's like, I don't know. And a lot of these examples and there's less of you. People are safer.

Hmm. Yeah. Kind of weird. Yeah. Let's let's add more of you. Yeah. Right. And yeah, I do.

It's like there's that Biden thing where he came out and was like we don't need to we don't need less police we need more police i mean dang we we rely on our police to be our therapists our psychiatrists our marriage counselors like that's the fucking problem that is the problem you're only funding this one thing that is bad at all of its jobs our teachers our nurses you're like whoa whoa whoa whoa hey hey hey yeah that's the problem so yeah i don't know it just like that the people i feel like who are against you know defunding police won the argument or won the battle for definitions.

They're like, defund the police equals chaos. But no, defund the police means less funding for police and more funding for programs that actually work that don't send armed maniacs out to the scene of every conflict in your community.

And more money for social media, too. And more facebook dollars yeah how much more clear can we be about facebook ads that's the key yes my god let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the war on refrigerator magma oh my god refrigerator magnet. Fuck. Oh my God. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

podcast and we're back and this is something i've noticed like for a while now i have my past two refrigerators are both metallic on the outside and will not take a... Hostile towards magnets? Hostile towards magnets. Now, you know, you've been working a bit longer than I have, so I have not quite reached the heights of a non-magnetic refrigerator. But the other day, I was at a friend's house who had just bought a new refrigerator. Very sleek. Very modern. I was like, oh's house who had just bought a new refrigerator. Very sleek, very modern. I was like, oh, yeah, this shit looks really cool.

It goes with your fucking kitchen, I guess. Are we talking one of those ones that opens from the center? Oh, French door. Yes, French door. French door. So you can open both of them and just feel the blast. Yeah, exactly. That's that new shit.

And apparently, they're better more spot on they were preaching the gospel about french store refrigerators anyway i noticed there was a fucking pile of refrigerator magnets on the counter next to the fridge and i was like oh yeah what's up with that they're like oh yeah it's not magnet friendly and i'm like what the fuck are you talking about and i apparently this is a newer a thing with newer refrigerators and has like slowly gaining more traction to the point where like it's more often than not. New refrigerators are not magnet friendly. And I'm like, is there a magnet shortage? Like, is there a supply chain issue that's like fucking up the like the ability to put in magnet friendly materials?

No. The companies that build our modern ice boxes have basically made a call. And it's that magnets are tacky bullshit. And they say that it takes away from the high end look that many customers are looking for. And most people want nice finishes, sleek looks in their kitchen. It's just not going with the design aesthetic this uh senior manager of marketing for a refrigerator manufacturer said that covering a fridge with magnets is quote a little lowbrow fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you it's also like it's a it's an option like having it exactly magnetic does not mean that the magnets will necessarily go on there you're giving the consumer the choice to use a magnet. Should they want to lead what the magnet company is calling a lowbrow life? Right. Yeah.

And they can. But if they feel you can be, you know, a complete, you know, up your own ass high society person and have a magnetic refrigerator and pretend it's not magnetic. Just don't put a magnet on it. Exactly. It's like, are these people who are asking for this like so fucking hooked on magnets? They're like, hey, man, don't give me a magnet-friendly fridge, man.

I'm going to fuck up my life. I have to. I can't stop myself. Fuck, I've been to the fucking Grand Tetons. Put that one up there along with my Vegas one. A under paper. Yeah. This one's a bottle opener.

Put it on. Like, I just don't fucking understand. It's like, you know, it's like making a car that isn't sticker friendly because people like a high end look. Right. I don't have stickers on my car because I choose not to. I'm no bumper sticker fan But yeah I'm not being like Hey man what I need is a car that is chemically treated

To not bond with adhesives Or else I'm not buying it Otherwise I'm going to cover that fucker Like what the fuck are we doing Elon Musk might be doing that I could see Elon Musk doing that Oh yeah I bet he's probably got a bumper sticker on his Tesla that says,

Not Elon or something on it. Something hilarious. Yeah, exactly. And it's me. I don't even tint the windows because I think it's so funny. He is actually my favorite comedian, comedy writer. He's so funny. Yeah, him a little bit at Genghis Khan.

A little lowbrow is so fucking wild. It's disgusting. It really is disgusting. Class warfare. Like, what do we do? Aesthetic warfare on people? It's like, you don't even get the fucking option to fuck this thing up. Like, the fridge, since I've been alive in my family's home here, how my family, like, the refrigerators in my family's houses in Japan.

We fuck magnets on the refrigerator are universal yeah bulletin board yeah it's a central message board of a home so and now like you know i i haven't had a magnetic fridge in a while and me and my wife no longer talk to each other we don't have any way to communicate these are stories that are happening across america again and again and again i don't even know my kids names yeah like everybody else gets yeah everybody gets to check the artwork on the fridge and like look for the kid's name i'm always stumped man i'm always like hey which one are you this guy this is my guy right here this guy this guy this guy who's this guy who's this guy is this guy no seriously what's no who is this guy it's me dad uh yeah i have been invited to many weddings now that i just

have not remembered the date of right because of this problem i've missed so many of my my close friends and family's weddings and it's just uh this has to end it's heartbreaking it's absolutely heartbreaking i miss my own wedding it's just uh this has to end it's heartbreaking it's absolutely heartbreaking i miss my own wedding it's just like wild when you hear this shit and like how this is like becoming an industry standard and i'm like like am i the fucking baddie here but no they're fucking with us like i just don't understand it's like you're to your point j, you have the fucking option to put it on. So I don't understand. You can pretend it's not magnetic.

If you want to do that, just don't put a magnet on it. Then you're accomplishing the goal. I'm sorry that the fucking CEO or whatever basically said it's a little poor for our brand. You look poor what you're doing with your refrigerator with our refrigerator makes you look poor and by extension us look poor and we will not allow it we don't sell to yes i bet there's like i bet there's like a marketing like i bet malcolm gladwell like has a fucking chapter of a book about like how this is brilliant because they like realized that you know by getting rid of the things that showed off like a sleek look when friends came over and helped them reach the tipping point of advertising their sleek refrigerators to other you know like it's like one of those fucking galaxy highbrow galaxy brain classist bullshit things. Like, how do you teach?

Like, I learned how to fucking spell with those stupid 80s fucking plastic letter fridge magnets. Absolutely. Like, I remember sitting in front of my fucking refrigerator, like, as a kid, and, like, just rearranging the fucking, like, and spelling shit and stuff. And, like, my mom getting mad. Like, these are seminal fucking experiences for human beings just don't i just don't understand just don't understand yeah there goes your calendar how are you gonna check out jazz fusion band excited delirium in new orleans exactly where's the jazz where is the jazz and this is why i am find myself frequently asking that question i don't

Content creator. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Man, work of media is an interesting way of putting it. Because I know tweet was also part of this prompt.

Yeah, tweet or work of media. I got to say the thing that I... Pillars of the Flower Moon or a tweet. Oh, man. The thing that I keep going back to, and I feel like it doesn't quite fit the criteria for this because it is a work of evil, but it is that Disney that disney movie prom pact that was using insert that like the

first thing i've noticed where people are inserting digital scans have you guys seen this it's a it's like oh yeah yeah with the ai background actors it's in a. Yeah. And you cut to the bleachers. And it is the most like... It's fucking... Horrifyingly captivating thing because I cannot believe, as opposed to just not putting anyone in there, which would have been fine, they put like sub N64 wrestling video game avatars

in there clapping their hands. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. The hair of the most visible woman in the background, it looks like a Smeagol mannequin. It's unreal. And so I guess that is

to say, please hire real people and scan their likeness so that you can just use that. I want to know more so that we can put an end to it, but I also want to know more because I'm fascinated. These were people, and then

something happened. What if they showed the people and that's exactly what they look like? We're just dunking on these ugly freaks. A lot of people were quote tweeting that video and be like, hey, please lay off my friend. She's just trying to start her career.

It's a lot of tweets like that. But this is good. On some level, this is good because this will help to turn the tide against this kind of bullshit. If it was good looking, then there's like an argument for like, oh, okay, well, you know,

certain, you know, blue checkmark folks on Twitter might be like, actually, this is efficient or whatever. Now that we see how awful and scary looking it is, I think we can try to steer the ship away from this permanently. It's like, is that a character from Resident Evil on PlayStation? Yeah, it's like Solar Express caliber, or Polar Express caliber.

Solar Express coming soon. That's right. Train to the sun. Train directly into the sun and everybody dies on impact. I would do that with the way that people looked on the Polar Express.
