It's weird to think of it like that. Yeah, shit, mate, if this is 900 you know holy shit uh i've it doesn't feel like it i also want to shout him out for doing the uh thing where he basically wrote a song about a thousand and then was like congrats on 900 though oh that's like my mom does that sometimes with me where she's like hey congratulations on your uh six year anniversary and it's only five she does that yeah she's always a year ahead just let me know but hey that's why that's why her stock picks are next level man because she's always a year ahead she's always a year ahead wow wow but miles uh it's fitting then uh this being the the 900th episode that we are joined

I'm fucking shelling. I'm very well. Happy to be here on this delicious Friday morning. According to the audience.

Very delicious. You have a sandwich you were eating before. Maybe we'll get into that later. Oh, we'll get into it. Okay. You know what? Fuck Rob Cunningham. this is only episode 899 come on dude what are you doing to me man make me look like a fool up here no will that count on trends that happens before this yeah i don't know come on come on he's on some math demigod i'm not a step no no math demigod yeah that's true maybe

maybe he's next level either way thank you rob uh appreciate you shout out rob daniel what's good man what's what's new with you um not a mucho still just doing some you know house house warming kind of things we finally got a dinner table we uh hung up some lovely pictures in my office um i see i mean i'm gonna i see one picture hang well you see one picture back there but i assure you there are three whole pictures in front of in front of okay donald trump i feel you two to three weeks huh two to three i'll turn my camera around for one because you might recognize jack that picture over there yeah hold on portland portland that. That is one Dr. Jack Ramsey.

And it looks like Gandhi going through the streets of India. Indeed. Sitting next to my mom. White clothing. Indeed. Sitting next to DJ Daniel's mom. My godmother. Indeed.

Keep it in the family here. And I just want to highlight this for a second, is that you can kind of see it, right above dr jack's head is a sign that says way to go mighty mo now the funny thing about the sign is it says way to go mighty mo and then in parentheses next to mo it says maurice in case you didn't know and then even further down below that it says luke maurice luke so maurice lucas right yes so this person didn't think that you would understand the phrase if it just said way to go mighty mo which was like we have exactly very it's like way to go air jordan uh and then in parentheses michael michael uh and then under that michael air jordan the player, who just won a championship. Precisely.

Hell yeah. Hey, Portland wasn't used to winning, you know? That was new for them at the time. This is 77 when Portland Trailblazers, Danil and my grandfather coached the Portland Trailblazers. They won a title, and I don't think they've won one since, but that was big. That was huge, huge for Portland. Do y'all eat free over there?

Yes. You should be able to pull it the fuck up. I'm going to start saying I work with y'all. When we did our live show in Portland, Anna told a cab driver that I was Dr. Jack's grandson. And he really freaked out, but did not give us a free ride. Wow, man. That's great. That's really cool, man.

He freaked out because he misunderstood. He thought it was a doctor he owed money to. Right. Yeah. He was like, no, man. Tell him I'll pay him back. You're like, what? No.

No, Dr. the coach? Never mind. Sir. He's like, two rides free. Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. I was to ride spree. Yeah, fantastic. I was wearing a stethoscope around my neck and making her call me Dr. Jack. There you go.

Anyways, Daniel. Yes. You had a good sandwich this morning. You seem to be in good spirits. I am in good spirits. We'll talk more about the sandwich when we get to either my under or overrated i'll let you know which one oh my goodness that's what we call a tease cliffhanger if you will all right we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a

moment first a couple of the things we're talking about uh we're gonna make it three straight with a little trump update but he wants he wants credit he's saying i did the vaccine so we'll talk about that we'll talk about his homie tim scott who did the rebuttal from the republicans uh we'll talk about the biden speech just in general some pretty it's a pretty good pull quotes and then a lot of uh kind of platitudes vagueness but sick sick you know shout out to those great pull quotes uh apparently amazon cheated in that union that union vote uh no it's like amazon crushed it they should like unions are done in america the people who wrote those headlines should be banished yeah like yep they fuck wow look at that

a lot of times those headlines were on top of stories that then talked about like just the utter fuckery that amazon was pulling but they were like i guess you know this is why it's hard to unionize in america uh moving on they crushed it because they're being sabotaged. They might have gone even over the absurdly corporate biased line that they're not supposed to cross. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the summer of NY that sex god Mayor de Blasio has declared, keeping things very sexy in the Big Apple. We're going to talk about uh the roaring

20s all of that plenty more uh but first dj daniel what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are um how to use after effects i've uh i've been recently trying to spruce up the old twitch stream with uh stupid videos and animations and fun stuff and i've decided to take advantage of our access to the adobe suite and uh try and you know figure out after effects and uh so far uh i would say i would say solid b success so far and uh yeah what are you trying to add like uh little animations to your overlay and shit? Precisely. So they call them stinger transitions.

And it's when you go from one scene to another rather than it simply fading or wiping or whatever. You have a cute little animation. Like I have curtains opening and closing. And for when I play D&D, I actually have I made a little like animation thing of like a castle coming into frame. A person with a bow getting eaten by a bear, a wizard casting a spell, and then two cherubs carrying a little sign that says Dungeons & Dragons. And then we switched to the D&D screen. And so you're animating those?

You just sort of have the vector art that you're sort of animating? Bingo, exactly. Yeah, so it's all vector art. Jack, I mean, I remember when you were telling me about this, when we were comparing OBS Twitch overlays. Indeed, yeah. And how you have all your scenes set up. I really thank you for that. Because of that, I did get

the Elgato Stream Deck XL because of your recommendation. You got the XL? Good. You said, for what I'm trying to do, the regular one ain't going to be enough. Absolutely not. Guy like you? XL. Guy like you?

That sounds like a weird character which is a car salesman who has to now sell video game shit and like you have yeah same fucking strategy but video game but knows nothing about it can i get a cup of coffee what yeah you got the rpgs going yeah yeah this thing's got good rpgs on it too man you're gonna love you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. Force power. Frames are gonna look good. But yeah, that's my latest search. I'm just enjoying Ana Hosnia's commentary

in the chat. She pointed out this is an audio format, Daniel. Yeah, exactly. All my hand motions don't really do anything or showing pictures of our grandfather. Not really translating to the audience, but alas. That's why I added those textures. Now you're talking about graphics? Yes.

Come on, man. What is something you think is overrated? Well. Uh-oh. I'll tell you something I think is overrated. Pause. I feel like it's going to be one of us. Something that's overrated is this.

Uncle Pauly's Deli Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich. We're going over with it. We're going overrated, unfortunately. We're going overrated. There's a couple things that factor into this decision. One, the advertising is trying to sell them like a classic

bodega breakfast sandwich. I think something that comes with a classic bodega breakfast sandwich is speed and affordability. bodega breakfast sandwich. And I think something that comes with the classic bodega breakfast sandwich is speed and affordability. Oh yeah. Exactly. This is a $10 breakfast

sandwich. Get the fuck out of here. $10 bacon, egg, and cheese. I think it's like $8.50 but then after tax you're looking at like $9.30, $9.45. And so you're paying 10 bucks for this sandwich get a little change back yeah the way you tip 10 bucks there you go moreover 37 cents at least man moreover i called in my order i said a bacon egg and cheese and the

lovely person who was who was um on the other line said that's it which i think is an appropriate thing to say because the breakfast sandwich, you whip it up, eggs, bacon on a, on a Kaiser. And in terms of the, in terms of the definitional ingredients of things on this, on this sandwich,

it's eggs, bacon, American cheese on a Kaiser roll. In terms of ingredients, I couldn't ask for anything more. That's exactly, that's more or less exactly what I want out of the BC. But then I say,

uh, yep, that'll be it. She says, okay, 15 minutes, like 15 minutes. Now I imagine that imagine that like imagine that you know you walk up to your local bodega and you say i'll take a b.e.c exactly a line out the back for a breakfast sandwich and like you know i'm oh you're saying

there was a line well there i mean there were people waiting outside partially because of the fact that it's only one person in the store at a time so small store face blah blah social d of course there was a line there was a lot of people waiting but alas i ordered my sandwich i drove on over there because i figured that the 15 minutes was generous i figured that was like it's a bec they're telling you to get in there in 15 minutes that when you show up in 10 and it's ready you're like oh boom great it took 20 oh hell no It took 20 minutes to make this sandwich. And if I had just walked up and was sitting there on my way to work, per se, and was like, oh, I'll take a BEC, take a bacon-making cheese,

and I waited there for 20 minutes to get the sandwich, that's a little too much time, in my personal opinion. Fucking fetishized bodega, overpriced bodega food. And that's the thing about it. They're like, oh, it's so cool. Like, when I used to live in New York, I'd go to this bodega. I'd get, the thing about it like you they're like oh it's so cool like when you live when i live in new york i go to this bodega i get like fucking i can get anything i get a fucking chopped cheese whatever at any time of the night and then now it's all about just like bringing that here exactly because we're bringing it here the fucking quality is substandard and it

takes too long and it's more expensive and it's not convenient like the the reason that people are into it in the first place in new york exactly precisely now something i know i want to make a very careful amendment to this review right here i'm reviewing specifically the bacon egg and cheese here yeah which i have to be lackluster i really like uncle paulie's and in fact there are other sandwiches which are only $10 to $13 for a high quality, a bunch of really high quality deli meat sandwiches are good.

And that's a sandwich that I would wait 15 to 20 minutes for. But I just feel like when you're selling a breakfast sandwich where you're saying only till noon on the weekdays and all day on the weekends, come get your breakfast sandos here.

You're setting an expectation that you're selling a breakfasty item. It's breakfast. It just shows you. That's like, that's what I think. That's what New York obviously can dunk on LA all day with, which is the lifestyle sort of, and how that relates to food.

Because here it's a bunch of motherfuckers that don't work or like our trust fund kids. And they like, they're like yeah i can wait i'll pay 10 bucks for a thing i'll wait 40 minutes for for breakfast i don't have anything going on whereas like i like the pace i just like how when you go and have to get shit in new york like especially when i used to work for con day like in fucking down by the world trade center and like it's just a lot of people working and all the lunch spots like move at fucking lightning speed yeah just like that shit i agree um efficiency but we're very efficient

we're such fucking i don't know man and you're incidentally walking past those bodegas you're not like going seeking them out having to wait in line yeah i'm making a reservation oh i love new york yeah exactly yeah same cool so you're overrated as a local los angeles is a very very it's the standard of taking something and then turning it into this plus stuff like ooh special experience when the goal is efficiency that's why you know like it's like when you see like taquerias in new york miss me miss me see because they're doing the same thing like oh man you know how good the tacos are in la what if we did that over here in new york and we do all this other shit and not to say that there's not good tacos there but it's like they're they've they're doing the fucked

up thing we're here we keep it quick and grimy because that's just the that's the the scene it's born out of but when you try and fucking city fire it it loses all its shit agreed also just something that uh i don't want to skip over the uh use of social d as for social distancing yes i mean if they had made it like cool like sunny d the whole time uh i might have actually done that shit you know i might have might have been on board i was wondering why you were inviting me over to breathe each other's mouths during the whole pandemic i was like jack we literally just got locked up what are you talking about party man we got a race we still got a rape is social distortion canceled?

I was thinking of social distortion. I'm like, they're from Fullerton. I wonder what came with social distortion in the year of our Lord 2021. We'll look them out. Anyway. They could have done a sick PSA for social distortion. Exactly. Darn it.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated. And if any of you listeners follow my Twitter, you've seen me talking about this a lot recently, is this artist named Swarty. Swarty, and I texted Miles about this yesterday, Swarty is this artist who was formerly of the group The M Machine and has struck out on their own solo.

I mean, struck out is, I feel like it's the wrong phrase because it means to go out on your own, but it also has the obligation of failing because you strike out. But they've gone out on their own. Home runned on their own. Exactly, home runned on your own, but it also has the obligation of failing because you strike out. They've gone out on their own. Home runned on their own. Exactly. Home runned on their own.

Yes, in my personal opinion, as this artist Swarty. Extra bass hit. Frozen rope down the third bass line? I don't know what that means. It's just in this time of everybody doing all of these internet based live sets, as music has tried to continue on in the world of places like Twitch and YouTube and live stream format, you see a lot of people doing performances where it's like their band or their DJ set either in front of a green screen or in their garage or something. And it's like, that's really all people have right now. It's like, I don't expect everyone to be performing on a fake, huge stage or even a real stage of any kind.

be performing on a fake huge stage or even a real stage of any kind. But when someone takes the medium of like a film performance of some kind and really goes all out with it, I just have an extra appreciation for that. And this set from this festival called Secret Sky hosted by Porter Robinson, this artist Swarty did probably my favorite performance I've seen in the last year. I could not recommend it enough. 35 minutes long long beginning to end so well produced directed by this like master puppeteer has all of this awesome music and awesome i just like i really can't recommend it enough so if you get an opportunity go look up swarty secret sky set on youtube and you will not be disappointed now we're gonna need a spelling on that because uh when i google swordy yes the first thing that comes up is urban dictionary a game played by homosexuals in which they use

their penises in the place of swords replicating the popular sport of fencing uh it is that is not that so maybe it's swarty swarty but it's s-w-a-r-d-y s-w-a-R-D-Y. There it is. S-W-A-R-D-Y. What's that Urban Dictionary fucking intro? Fucking Mitch McConnell? Urban Dictionary is what we have now that Yahoo Answers is gone. There you go. But yeah, Swarty Secret Sky. S-W-A-R-D-Y. Secret Sky set on YouTube.

You just sit back, relax, and enjoy 35 minutes of really enjoyable vibes and masterful puppetry. Very cool. Very cool. Oh, by the way, two things that have been recently, or I guess Ana was saying, Chad, is something worth checking out while we're talking about underrated shit. And I wanted to shout out shows on Amazon Prime. and i wanted to shout out shows on amazon prime i'm on my second amazon prime streaming show that has no coverage like they don't even have reviews for the second and third season goliath with billy bob thornton it's fucking good man compared like netflix is gets all the attention because everyone has it nobody really pays attention but like i watched patriot before that show's fucking good uh and no like you can't find very many people there's just

like a small subreddit talking about it yeah it took somebody to tell me to watch it yeah for me to watch it that's the one where the dude is like the cia spook but he does like folk music yeah yeah right and yeah it's good like it's i don't know if it if it was on netflix people would be uh talking a lot about but instead it's on earth fucker bezos channel right so it's all this bad press i feel like he gets too much bad press and i just want to shout him out uh is this brand toxic is it affecting other people associated but like for these people who are making good shows that are just getting buried on his shitty platform like getting to see billy bob thornton be a dirtbag lawyer uh is is fun anyways uh

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.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.

Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And let's make it a trifecta. Three straight days of Trump menchies, but the thirst is strong, as you put it, Miles.

Yeah, it's, look. From him, not from us. Yeah, well, who knows, clickbait and all that, whatever you gotta do to keep the ratings up. But yes, Mr. Hydroxychloroquine has a new take because it seemed we just saw, we were talking about it for three days. First, it was, uh-oh, support is slipping for Trump. Then the next story is,

hey, he's thinking about doing rallies again, getting back out there you know he's king making again you know he's still very relevant to now because joey badass had to have his first big boy congressional address trump now had to swoop it called fox baby to let him know that he had some shit to ramble about and it's all about the vaccine uh specifically he's like i did the vaccine he said that sentence as a statement i about the vaccine. Specifically, he's like, I did the vaccine. He said that sentence as a statement. I did the vaccine. The vaccine is not a dance.

It's not the Millie rock. I did the miss. You did the vaccine. What the fuck does that mean? And then he said, if I were president, the vaccine, you wouldn't have had a vaccine for five years. Three to five years would be the minimum. I wasn't in the lab. You wasn't shooting with him vaccine for five years Three to five years would be the minimum Motherfucker He wasn't in the lab He wasn't shooting with him in the lab

And then he said I got it done in less than nine months And that's only because of me And look I guess in a certain way I'm the father of the vaccine Because I was the one that pushed it To get it done in less than nine months Was a miracle People are saying

Okay sure You're the father of the vaccine thank you sir it's like you can almost discount it without his like massive twitter megaphone it's just like that that seems silly yeah because this will get retweeted to shit and quote tweeted and dunked on and all this other thing. And it's funny that I had to go looking for the people who talk about what happens on Fox and shit to figure out what this take was. I mean, obviously, once that happened, this became a headline. But it does like, you know, that would have been if he were still had his Twitter, he would have tweeted that shit last night. And it would have fucking the I don't know, whatever would happened the media would still be like yeah this can you believe him

yeah i like this way better yeah but yeah he did the vaccine yo he did the vaccine he did it oh he did it i did it so speaking of biden's big 100 day speech a couple pull quotes that i thought were pretty impressive white supremacy is terrorism hell yeah yes indeed wow big cosign trickle down economics doesn't work big cosign yeah i mean like we've known that for a while i this one was the most surprising to me and also the the one i want to talk about because it seems to symbolize his willingness to say the right thing and then just completely not back it but with any policy he said

Wall Street didn't build this country we stole it from indigenous people and had slaves there you go the middle class did and unions built the middle class unions built the middle class he said okay so what are you going to do what's the solutions then Unions built the middle class. Unions built the middle class, he said. Wow. Okay.

Okay. Okay, so what are you going to do? What's the solution then? Right. Yeah, right. I like those sentences. The solution to the white supremacy thing is a police reform bill that's in Congress that is obviously going to be woefully inadequate to the problem. And he's bragging about how it's going to get cross-platform or cross-the-aisle support. Cross-platform?

So you know that's not... Gamer Jack over here. Yeah, yeah. Cross-platform also. Steam or Xbox, man. You know, me and Joe are both big gamers. We have gaming on the brain. Yeah, y'all just been farming a ton in the division too, huh?

Oh, man. Too much. Loot farming. Too much. Loot farming. Too much. No solution to the problem of unions just getting railroad in this country that doesn't involve going to war with big business. And I don't see that being a path he's willing to take. But he's certainly talking like that. Like, is this just the new strategy where he says the right thing yeah loudly

and then is just i mean look you you look you and many other people were spellbound by the idea that he said words that were you know prior to this would have been a hot takes that you couldn't say as a president right but because too many people in this country now like are off a lot of these myths like that's where you got to be you got to say stuff like that's true white supremacy is terrorism right uh trickle down economics doesn't work sure but if you're not backing that up with some real shit then it's just you're just taking advantage of the overton window being all fucked up and you just came in here saying just making observations and not really offering something radical which is interesting because he said things like i was trying to pay attention as i watched it it was very difficult but he said he would say

things like you know from everybody we got to help the poorest of the poor but it's like you'll use these terms like poorest of the poor but you won't actually address the concept of there being the poorest of the poor. You know, like it's a rhetorical barb to use to say, like, this is going to help everybody. You know, even the fucking dirty people that I don't have a plan for that. But, you know, them will get to them, too, at some point. said this other thing that was like he was treating rising insurance premiums like a boogeyman that and like not a societal issue that he had the power to change as president you know what i mean and that just felt weak as fuck where he's like and we got to do this you know to protect them from rising insurance premiums well then why don't you slay the rising insurance premiums

beast by completely changing our health care right like rather than be like oh what because then this other thing's on the other side of the door you act like you can't do that you act like you can't fucking like actually advocate for real substantive change so while a lot of the other stuff is a good step forward i think like everything and i'm you know i'm part of a certain group of people that always be like, this is just not going far enough. But that's what if the energy was like, it was like stuff that I was like, okay, cool. He said that he's pushing back against a lot of old school, like neoliberal nonsense that Democrats used to say out loud in these kinds of events. some so much still to be done but it's a start i guess but that's yeah i don't think we can keep getting fooled by by accepting it's a start yeah right that's the sort of pivot that the pundit class or whatever will do is be like but it's a start you know it's a start it's a start it's a start but we've been it's a starting for right centuries now yeah have they stopped paying

attention it's a start it's a start are they stopped paying attention? It's a start. It's a start. Are they no longer reading? Okay, cool. We can move on. Yeah, exactly. We can move on to talking about the dick measuring contest between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Hey, that's big news. There's this part that I just found that just is perfect, like, democratic speechwriter not saying shit. I've often said our greatest strength is the power of our example, not just the example of our power. My conversations with world leaders, and I've spoken to 38, 40 of them now. I've made it known. I've it known that america is back what the fuck are you talking about like what does that even mean bro uh and if that if hold on and then joe can we get a transcript of that call are you like there we go america's back america's back baby and you can take that to the bank but it won't be gold back just by the threat

of our military see you later i don't okay but you know again it was refreshing though i'll say this it was refreshing to have someone go up there and say things like i'm trying to look after trans people i'm trying to look after x group but i think that's the part that kills you inside is like a a person who who will vote for the Democratic Party is you're like you're saying, you know, they all know how to say the right shit. But when it comes to like actually making shit messy for the people that are oppressing us, then it's, oh, turn the volume down, turn the volume down. It's too loud. It's too loud. This is, I mean, I equate this to the conversation about climate change right now where people are like, hey, you can do your part.

Like we work together. We're all strong. It's like you're talking about making changes on this very incremental level when the bigger picture is these 10 companies that make up 70% of the fucking waste in our world right now. It's like, oh, we can't touch that. Can't touch that, but you can keep using less

straws or something like that. But y'all don't give me that much money for my campaign, so how about y'all start using these metal straws? He. Y'all don't give me that much money for my campaign. So how about y'all start using these metal straws? He also referenced the Martin Luther King Jr. thing about the long arc of American history bending towards justice. Or I think he said the long

arc of history bending towards justice. Whereas I feel like it bends more towards the at least in America, the great man theory of history where everything is like anti-democratic and shaded by like you know every everybody just pull themselves up by their bootstraps yeah i mean i think that quote is more like that bend towards justice is actually an optical illusion being caused by the curvature of the earth there is actually no bend towards it because it's right

oh like it's so fucking slow and i think it's just it's these a lot of these things that allow this idea that's like it's trending there we're moving there meanwhile you look at other countries like just wholesale being like no this shit isn't working for our country this is a new thing we're doing fucking uh paid paternity maternity parent leave whatever you got to do and here it's like and that's the reason that i worry about uh like the this like incremental shit is that like you need drastic changes to show people what is in their best interest because american culture is so like just allergic to any sort of collectivism. Like they need to be shown, okay,

this is in your best interest or else, you know, I'm sure the Republicans will find some, some way to weaponize it. Um, that will be effective because everybody likes to believe that, uh, America is just a bunch of great men pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.

And right. You know, you just got to give people the opportunity. Anyways, Tim Scott, you know that. So that was our rebuttal. Tim Scott had some other ideas. Yeah. Oh, I mean, look, they got the soul black Republican. And I don't mean soul like S-o-u-l like you got soul i meant s-o-l-e like he's the only black republican uh although i'm sure i'm sure there's some weird emails people like hey get the soul black republican up there huh mitch this whole thing is they had him go up to give the response because it's so transparent like it's so cringy to be like hey we're dealing with a lot of people are

observing that we're one of them we're just a toxic racist party uh so we need to deploy our token black senator to go and soothe the base to convince them that what's happening is actually not happening and everything is all good uh because he was God. It was really it felt like everything that was like a huge sort of pain point for the Republicans, not pain for them, but like something they're having to deal with optically is sort of all these voter suppression bills where people are saying this shit is racist as fuck. Y'all are trying to disenfranchise people of color and you don't want them to vote. That's what these things are for. And then you have Tim Scott explain this to the base, say this to the base say no no no no this is not racism that's not what any of this stuff is see we're just protecting the integrity of elections it's oh oh thank god like it like all of these things were offered i think for the base like yeah that's that's right okay good

it wasn't because because everyone's, like everyone around me is telling me that I have this like white fragility and my unwillingness to confront my own feelings of tenuous de facto racial and socioeconomic superiority are clouding my observational awareness of this country. But then he goes on again. It's not that we don't have a racist police system. It's just that Joe Biden is dividing us with this.

Thank you. It's a lot of misdirection bullshit. I love it. So it was also Joe Biden's fault in back during the Trump administration. Yeah, I mean, it's so stupid. It's like that's the thing is all of these things are said in this weird space-time continuum where donald trump didn't is like literally abraham lincoln and joe biden is some fucking weird well yeah joe biden is some weird old guy so yeah but all that to say is that's it's still coming

from this is very unaware place and then the other thing too was they had to have this man say he's like as a black man you know i'm telling just hey just say, he's like, as a black man, you know, I'm telling you, just hey, just so you'll hear from me, a black man. America is not a racist country. Come on, everybody. Stop goofing around. Oh, boy. Meanwhile, the Democrat version was actually the same because Kamala Harris was like, no, I don't think America is a racist country. We just need to be honest about our history.

Uh-huh. like no i don't think america is a racist country we just need to be honest about our history see those are words for white people you are afraid of upsetting when you say shit like that because you can't just say what it is if there is a absolute tremendous problem with racism in this country it is systemic and it to act like it's like having a blue house that you just bought and you're like oh you got a blue house you're like no no see the owner the last owners it was historically blue right this house i'm like i'm looking at the shit now it's blue but you're the owner yeah but it's not blue you know but we have to acknowledge the history yes it was blue uh but i'm like but so you're gonna paint it no no someone made the decision to paint it blue uh before. And we just have to be honest about that. We don't have to say that it is currently blue. Right.

Like, so if you can't acknowledge, like if something isn't, then how are you going to figure out how to address it? infuriating about sort of takes and quotes like that because it's it completely lets people off the hook again to go off be like yeah no everything's okay everything's okay kamala said it tim scott said it it's fine like we're just we just have some things we got to sort out it's like no yes then they're active and they've never stopped but yeah it's interesting you know some of the shit that biden said was straight out of a like Bernie Sanders speech about like billionaires getting richer and everybody else getting fucked. So it'll be interesting to see where this like rhetorical direction takes us. Yeah, I think the one benefit was he he did have some good sort of verbal like rhetorical setups that will make it. It'll be interesting to see what Republicans do.

Cause he's sort of like, well, we can't do nothing. Right. Looking at that side of the chamber to be like, cause that's what the options are. Right. Either going to fucking help or y'all do nothing.

Right. And then that's what we'll keep saying. They did their, their, their, their rebuttal to trying to do good for the people was to do nothing. But you know, we'll again'll again yeah we'll see it's it it all depends on like what kind of legislation comes out what they agree to and then if it ends up doing the whole fucking republican water down bit and it

becomes some like just you know bill that's just like has a cool name but doesn't really do anything yeah i also liked how uh the republicans used the pandemic as an illustration of why we should have shitty public schools they were like well they didn't open uh when we thought they should have opened so this is a great argument for charter schools right more privatization yeah more privatization more racist educational system all right let's talk uh real quick about this amazon uh union drive oh let's get it let's get it amazon uh the so it's working right yeah they so we're getting the union the vote was hailed as like a complete demolition of the drive for collective action like for employees of amazon uh i heard

you know normally progressive npr shows or wmyc whatever uh on the media is like take that headline take it as a given that like socialism had been dealt a massive blow and then go on to describe just this like wildly unfair practice in the actual election and be like, huh? So that's, that's it. Like it's,

I don't know, changing the venue, having massive like pep rallies that were propaganda after which you were like walked out to the ballot box to cast your vote. And so now the details are getting even worse. The Amazon's agents allegedly threatened employees with closure of the warehouse if they joined the union. threatened employees with closure of the warehouse if they joined the union and they emailed a warning that it would lay off 75 of the proposed bargaining unit uh because of the union so it is yeah this is this is being reported in uh notorious uh socialist zine Reuters FYI what the fuck yeah I mean I was

like why don't we hear those stories I feel like that's always like the threat of loss of job is like the first play you want to make like oh yeah goodbye to your fucking jobs then right so they must have done a good job of keeping that all very low I mean or not and that means

just like yeah okay okay you're amazon oh they're like wait that's bad to threaten oh i don't know i'm i'm so far removed from the experience of people that would work in a warehouse i didn't know if that was a good thing but it's it just seemed like the way that this story was covered just accepted that union votes are basically like an election held in a dictatorship where it's just like everything is tilted in one direction.

They're in charge of where votes are cast. They're physically intimidating you into voting a certain way. And people are like, big win for Amazon. Let's move on to Bezos and Musk's fucking dick measuring space race like it's just i don't know boy yeah well you know it's it's like it's like a i mean do you realize they had

to put so much into this because amazon saw that the domino effect they were like we're we can't handle this if this place unionizes then many places are and then what we gotta pay people humanely that's not our business model it's to grind people into bone dust and then put a prime sticker on it and have your little pool floaty at your door within 20 minutes yeah that is like we we talked on uh yesterday's episode about how like the primary like DNA, like central mission of Facebook is like expanding the user base and then getting those users to spend more and more time. is counter to that is just going to inevitably fail until like something until that company is fundamentally changed like at a cellular level uh amazon's like big uh innovation seems to be treating their employees like shit and that's going to uh yeah just like squeezing every last drop out of like that but that seems to be the secret sauce.

Like I like kind of rub it with all these revelations, though, of what's happening now. That means that the people at the what is a retail wholesale wholesale and department store union can appeal the results and have possibly have them overturned. and you know u.s business lobbies were pissed uh they also like helped trump overturn some you know pro labor uh practices so it's not it's not like a clear-cut thing where these are like they are i think considered to be more down the middle so it'll be interesting to see yeah well because he put someone all fuck he installed a shithead at the NLRB during his time there. So right. Yeah, that makes sense. A wacky, wacky time. This is where these horrible voting laws are getting passed. I would hope that that extends into workers' voting rights because I know it's not a political election and I know these kinds of like...

The votes are just different or the way they conduct these kinds of votes are just different, but it's like you should not be able to intimidate your employees. You should not be able to do all this. I mean... Okay.

Let me tell you something daniel this is called america okay and i didn't start a fucking business with when my grandpa died and gave me his money to fucking pay people fucking fairly so i could have a smaller seadoo boat i forgot yes that's correct no but absolutely. And that's what I think is so fucked up is that we not enough American people feel that like these are rights rather than like, yo, fuck a mask. Where's my gun? Like it should be, yo, we shouldn't allow your fucking employer to fuck you. Agree. How about that?

How about that as a right? How about you shouldn't be able to go at anything where you have to advocate for yourself and you got goons breathing down your neck, threatening your livelihood? Like it's like. But yeah, I think that's just I think there's just a bit of apathy that we have in terms of how we view our relationships to corporations, because that's just it's always felt like this sort of thing. Like, what the fuck can we do? because that's just, it's always felt like this sort of thing of like, what the fuck can we do? But it's things like this that companies like Amazon fight tooth and nail against because that would begin to upset the balance of power.

Like, well, fuck, I got to deal with this union? Like collectively trying to figure out what's best for them rather than me just being threatening to close the warehouse. And that just used to be how I kept the profits up. All right. Let's take one more be how I kept the profits up. All right. Let's take one more break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

And this might be a big summer for New Yorkers. Oh, yeah. be a might be a big summer for new yorkers oh yeah yeah mayor de blasio uh has told the masses that the success of the vaccination program has allowed for just straight up central park fuck fest yeah i think back baby oh those weren't his exact words that was i mean that's that's what new yorkers heard i think right like in in the new york times like they have that uh like offshoot grub street website They keep calling it the summer of hedonism Is what they talk about the impending

Reopening of New York being But yeah I mean The plan is what Fucking July 1st Like yo gyms stadium Salons museums 100% capacity And this is what he said this is going to be the

summer of new york city you're going to see amazing activities uh and he's hoping people will quote flock to new york city because they want to live again amazing activity sounds like a scout leader more than somebody who's like thrown out a that sounds like a sh that sounds like someone like who like the religious kid at school's birthday and you're like oh we're doing laser tag or some shit and they're like no but there will be amazing activities i'm like fuck out of here tim we made our own double dare course where we dare you to follow christ's teachings but yeah this is gonna be i mean it seems like when i just look at even twitter from new yers or other places like in the UK too, where they have like dates where they're all looking forward to being like, it's happening. The energy is intense.

And I don't know, you know, they call it the summer of hedonism, the summer of George, whatever you want to call it. But I'm curious how wild shit is actually going to get. you want to call it but i'm curious how wild shit is actually gonna get like if people truly are just like you know horses at the fucking gates just being like i need this motherfucker to open because i'm fucking gone the second i hear that bell or if it's kind of like yeah you know we did this we had a little fun over there or you know or like you know the fucking starbucks is going to be the new turn up spot oh man i don't know about your neighborhood but it already is babe i mean that would be sick i would yo dan what we should do is go around the city with like massive pa system and just like and just blow parks out

with like music sets yeah turn them out i feel like i would i feel like that's a new thing i would probably be inclined to do but like yo he's like random turnips happen at these parks shit college all over i guess yeah was that a thing that used to happen like i i remember seeing it in back to the future with the mayor the mayoral election where they're like driving around with a massive speaker on top of the car like old school yeah is that vote for donnelly yeah yeah yeah i'm not sure it's cool yeah it's old school but uh but you know i feel like it'd be a lot these days you could do it i mean it's yeah it's certainly illegal but like it would be a lot easier to carry enough power to make like a very small turn up happen in a much more confined space rather than having to like spend literally an

hour setting up your two huge pas in which case the police just walk up and they're like, hey, nah. I'll be like, you're on camera, officer. You better think about the optics of this clip. And they're like, oh, shit. Is that Playboy Cardi? You're like, hey, turn up. Copaganda, baby.

Hell yeah. Oh, shit. Is this Trippie Redd? I love the song. hell yeah oh shit is this trippy red hey man i miss the rage just like trippy man oh man so beyond the summer uh there are a lot of news outlets that have been speculating uh that with rising vaccination some parts of the country returning to a sense of normalcy, we might see another roaring 20s. Because I think everybody's memory of the 20s, the collective way we've remembered the 20s, because like I said, we have just like a great man-shaped version of the past. And we're just like, yeah yeah just focus on the rich people and uh that that's what

was going on so you know people see the 20s as the time of the economic and social boom that happened to gave us the great gatsby and they're saying this because there was a pandemic 1918 flu that was the biggest kind of modern pandemic there was also world war one so everyone from the new yorker what what the new roaring 20s will be like uh bloomberg the 1920s roared after a pandemic and the 2020s will try uh and somebody else was like are you ready for the roaring 20s but so our writer jm was like pointing out that the 20s were really bad uh and for a lot of the reasons that like the past five years have been really terrible like the 20s were the time of the resurgence of the kkk in america and just massive inequality that led to the Great Depression. OK, but what about it?

What if we what if we ignore that part? What about like the champagne glasses and like pyramids of champagne glasses that are being poured and we're all wearing tuxedos? Right. It's is that that not resonate or it's just it's like we already have massive inequality. And so to like set the goal, like set our, you know, destination on. You're right to be like, oh, you thought it was bad now? Yeah.

Like, I feel like we already had this in the aughts. Like the aughts were sort of the roaring the roaring twenties of the modern time because, you know, Americans were off in foreign wars, killing millions of, you know, Iraqis and the top songs at home were like the black eyed peas telling people to like party. And literally get retarded.

Yeah. I like, we're like, damn. Okay. Uh, let's, oh,

fuck it. It's the aughts, baby. We don't, damn. Okay. Let's. Oh, fuck it. It's the odds, baby. We don't give a shit about anything. That was the stand they took is we should be able to say this about how hard we're partying. And then also, I think more importantly, like the 1920s, the odds led up to a generation's defining financial collapse that like we're in the midst of. So I feel like that's I don't know. It's weird to be like we've got some roaring 20s coming when, you know, we've already had the depression. We've already had the rise, like the kind of startling reemergence of like mainstream uh white supremacy like in the streets and yeah

i mean and i and it's not that it was coming off the heels like you know fucking 40 million people dying from world war one either that was right that was another thing in people's minds like in the lead up to the 20s at all like shit right yeah i mean part of that like excess was informed by uh survivors guilt from the pandemic historians like kind of with the uh perspective that you get with 100 years or like they were probably going off because like that pandemic killed so many people and it killed like young adults that was who it uh targeted basically covid has killed 2.7 million people worldwide and the 1918-19 flu killed 50 to 100 million uh and they were all like in their earth they were mainly concentrated in their like 20s and 30s so like if half the people around you are just dying

yeah you know that that leads to a very strange you know yeah exo exo tour life hits different when you bump it back i love that song i don't really get you right but yeah i mean shit i don't really care. But yeah, I mean, shit, I don't know what, that's why I'm curious to see how it compares because I don't know if we're dealing with the same energy and I don't know if we're in the same points of like the ebb and flow of inequality and boom bus cycles that it's actually going to match up like that. But I don't know. I think, I don't know if this is just a way to like kind of in our minds,

give ourselves something to look. It's yeah it's so bad but then we'll just completely fuck off for the next 10 years and pretend that you know shit is I mean I don't know like I don't know if it'll ever quite mirror the same thing because we're still in a period that you could argue that this is the 20s the odds were the 20s that there are so many times when inequality is rising fascism is creeping and then there's a whole group of people who are like yeah i mean in addition to like some of the big like you know resurgence of the kkk the massacre against black citizens in tulsa and there were multiple in america there were also like a lot of the things that we fetishize about the 20s were actually super racist, like the jazzy speakeasies were only accessible to a small portion of wealthy urban and mostly white Americans. And the whole temperance movement and prohibition were driven by like racism and like fear of people of color like drinking basically and then they you know it didn't apply like like many laws in american

history like basically didn't apply to rich uh white people and it was just an excuse for the police to round up uh whoever the fuck they wanted to round up which you know i think i think it's the 20s now right that's what i'm saying like i feel like we just lived through this shit like i don't i don't know right because it's like yeah there's a resurgence of you know white supremacy and nativism like in a very like a non-nuanced way right um and like just there's like labor movements trying to fight against the corporations and things like that it's or you know what it is it's like we just never really fucking figured it out from the 20s right you know and it never ended really and it's just like this idea that we just sort of

pivoted to world war ii and like the depression and be like yeah yeah that's that's the hot thing now world war ii and the depression right the 80s could also be seen very similar to the 20s and that it was like you know they just focused on the rich people and like reagan and country clubs and meanwhile he was just letting aids ravage the country and you know ignoring poor people and destroying unions and shit which was a big part of the 20s also is that we're just described all right let's do the 90s next okay so like it's just really it's like it's almost weird like where we started being like we don't want another 20s and we're like shit has not changed since the fucking twenties. Like, what are we doing?

And I think that's like the deception that we have of history too, is like that we can sort of act like there are these sort of end points to these periods because the chapter is different or the decade numerically changes, wherein we've not addressed any of the ills. So they just sort of take different shapes and metastasize. And, you know, look at us today. Yeah. I mean, 100 years, 100 year lesson. Yeah. The war on drugs was not just a thing relegated to the 80s or 90s, but it was exactly what I was just describing with prohibition.

It was like an opportunity for law enforcement to basically uh weaponize racism and make it part of they're like oh what do uh what do mexican immigrants like this like smoking weed okay well that's uh that's illegal now right what else uh and then we'll and then we'll use that we'll create all this like this threat of uh out of control black and brown men who are high to then you know create more uh even stringent laws because yeah it was just more about being like, okay, what do they like? Okay. Let's make that illegal. The government's prohibition Bureau literally deputized clan members,

which sounds shocking until you look at the number of people who were law enforcement officials who were raiding the Capitol. they're like, no, I'm good. I got my badge under the road. It's all good. Yeah. I am. I am actually, they're like, no, I'm good. I got my badge under the robe. It's all good. Yeah, you don't have to. I am, actually, I am the deputies. Right.

Shit. All right. Well, stop saying, stop saying hopefully, like, are we headed for another Roaring Twenties? Because. How about let's look at, if we're observing inequality right now,

we need to address it and not try and synthesize it through like fucking weird movie tropes and shit from culture to be like, is that what this is? It's like, no, we haven't fucked. We haven't dealt with our rampant racism.

We haven't dealt with our rampant inequality and it just keeps taking on new forms and we just give it new labels when it's all this. It's just the same thing over and over. Yeah. It's just on this season yeah uh danil as always such a pleasure having you oh gosh gosh the pleasure is truly mine where can people uh find you follow you how well you can find me on twitter and twitch at dj underscore danil d-a-n-L. Wednesdays and Sundays, baby.

Yeah, yeah. And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying?
