There's a couple of streak freezes in there you know but uh i'm not you know i'm gonna take that out the w you know right right right so that's 178 days of like doing a lesson every day every day yeah at least like five minutes okay my home girl said she was doing it she was doing french or something for like a year and then she's like i only got

through two like two modules or something like that it was something and then she's like i only got through two like two modules or something like that it was something wild but she's like but because she i think incrementally did it she's like i'm pretty solid on everything from those first two so she's like i'm not shook if i have to do a little bit of french i was like oh well that's that's kind of good yeah it could go really slow once i started actually trying to do it every day and maintain a streak i i got a little more flow okay let's see how good you are donde esta biblioteca esta no esta aqui no okay there you go see there it is you know who i see all the time on it because it'll just like randomly tell you vague acquaintances or friends you know but like you don't talk to them on it but like

that's not some asian stuff they're like what's that gonna get you what's that gonna what college is that gonna what k what harvard has a k-pop program now kuman is monday afternoon okay i have an email like i found an email when i was clearing out my emails in college when i asked my mom if i could take improv but i said like i want to class at ucb and she responded oh that's great like berkeley and i was like no sure that's exactly what my fucking mom said too i fucking when i left when i left lobbying and i was like yo i'm getting into comedy and i'm like you know i'm really realizing too i really need to get into like i really need to study and get my skills up and i'm gonna actually start taking classes at ucb and she's like grad school at berkeley and i was like, she's like,

thank you, God. It got wobbly. Like in college, I was doing improv and she was like, all right, well, at least he's in college.

And then like, then the fucking economy was vaporized. So they, she kind of took it easy. Cause like, man, ain't nobody got a fucking job right now. And then when I got into lobbying,

she was like, yes, yes, go on honey, Barack Obama and all of that. Like you're part of this thing now. And when I left, she was like, you see Berkeley? Improv! Let's go with that. Yeah, you see Berkeley. Let's go with that. Amazing. Well, Teresa, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.

tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today we are going to talk about joe biden's continued sloppiness with the classified documents just not great joe would be my summary of that that's yeah i mean like when's obama when are we gonna hear about obama also hasn't like every it sounds like does, is everybody sloppy with these top secret papers? I don't, I guess so. Seems like it. Or at least maybe we just shouldn't have people over the age of 80 working in the most important job. Oh, why? They're still doing papers, too, I feel like.

Right. Well, that was the thing we learned with Hillary Clinton, right? well that was the thing we learned with Hillary Clinton right that she like she got in trouble because she would just make everybody print up every email that got sent to her on paper she's like Huma print print my emails out all of them it's hard to like keep track like I have a bag of stuff I need a shred that just because it's like you know things with banks and health and I'm like I can't throw it away but i don't it goes for years it's just built up yeah i mean i kind of understand how you've got a very busy job like running the country yeah you might you might move some papers i don't know so what if i kept the list of cia

assets abroad okay sue me yeah in mission impossible like the burn list is the knock list wasn't the knock list that's what it is yeah and you don't want to burn the assets on the knock list and it's like this super well locked up thing they're like it actually you have to go through this underwater vault that it like electric electrocutes anything that is touching it every 15 seconds and in reality it's in joe biden's yeah it's just like in a drawer like behind yeah it's next to his vet that he never built built out like he said he was going to yeah and a bunch of ethernet cables they're like why do you such weird loose Ethernet cables? Like first generation USBs that don't work anymore.

Yeah, exactly. I thought that was pasta. I can fit a whole five megabytes on this thing. I'm serious, man. I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Okay, we get it. Good impression. Thanks.

That really is the thing he says the most often uh we're gonna check in with effective altruism and continue to find out that it is a racist shit show in in there no way we're going to see how the mainstream media is covering the storms in california presumably you know people are like wait why is this happening why does that keep why did this like happen in germany earlier last year and now it's happening in california and all these places that we're not used to seeing this shit happen and the mainstream media is dutifully shutting the fuck up about any connection to no idea how this could have happened yeah all the gay people I had no idea how this could have happened.

It's all the gay people. Probably. It's got to be, right? Those story times. God's mad. HBO Max prices are going up. We're going to tell you that and also just talk about that whole model. The introductory market rate model

that, as Miles explained to me, it is called. But this feels like there's just... It's the new world we live in where they bombard you with so much shit that you don't they're just gouging us now yeah they're they're all in the red they're all in the red like that's a big part of it too because they the whole part of the streaming wars is everybody trying to be a you know be a usurper to the netflix throne but to do that requires a tremendous outlay of cash and that's why people

that's why you see all this fucking back and forth breakneck cancellations green light shit all the time and didn't they like a lot of places like merge or like get rid of their staff it's like oh yeah oh yeah half of these now yeah yeah because like their whole model of like we just burn cash and like try and get the most consumers only worked because money like because of interest rates like cash was basically free for a long time especially to like massive companies like that and then like when it stopped being free in the past couple years there this genius strategy just stopped working out so well for them and now they're like oh no oh we have to triple princess the laws of physics apply to our business now anyways all of that plenty more but first theresa we like to ask our guests

what is something from your search history okay this is uh it's gonna make me sound super old but i searched is contouring still cool because i decided 2023 i'm gonna do i wanted to do the makeups okay doing the makeup do the things i so i've been a light ago and it's gotten a lot worse in the last couple years and i say there's like no shame and like happy to wear no makeup but it's like i go back and forth between like should should I get two foundations or one? And then I was like, you know what, maybe I should learn more about how to do my face because I really just buy one and then slather on and that's it. And you know, fortunately, in the past, it's worked out because I have okay skin. Right. I'm so confused. What are you supposed to do? I went to Sephora. There's so many products. Like I was just like, I just want one that's lighter and one that's darker.

And they're like, well, there's like highlighter, luminescence gloss. Right. Anyways, I did buy, um,

I bought myself my first ever concealer and bronzer or a contour stick is what they call it. I honestly, I felt like a teenage girl buying her first bra or, you know, like, dollar thong at Charlotte Roos. Just like looking at it, you're like, wow.

I can't wait to try this on. Yeah. The drive home, you're just looking at it out of the bag. I was going to put it on that night. I was like, maybe I should just play around with it. But then it was like 10 p.m. and I was like, that's dumb.

I don't want to do that. Wait, so, I mean, is contouring just something else now? Or is that just not a thing anymore in the makeup world? Like that's some like, is that just seen as like prehistoric makeup techniques? Yeah, it's kind of like it's still done, but it's not like trendy. Like now that there's all these new trends like TikTok, they do stuff like, what are they called? There's the W blush where it's like you draw a w on your face

and then you like blend it and it looks like you're you went on the slopes and you burned your face and that's the trend oh yeah i see people like that all the time i'm like yo motherfucker you're looking straight into a laser all day or some shit no it's the trend so like no i'm sorry it's still there but it's still there, but it's not. I'm sorry. It's not the thing. I see people that are concerning me. Oh, shorty got a eye irritation. You know what I mean? And then I'm like, oh, and then I see multiple people like, oh, that's just a wave right now. Yeah, that's me.

There's a button nose too. There's one where you're supposed to make it look like your nose just like popping out. I think Bella's making it popular. Like a button nose, literally like like like a little white dot and you look like a doll it's not i don't like it but no wow i guess it's cute i don't know i mean you do you gen z or whatever the next whatever the next generation is called is contouring like making it seem like you're you have lines in different places on your fit like it's like i'm going to illusion of definition like you know like on your cheek you

know get your cheekbones look popping and shit like it is very cool to watch someone do it in like a video because they draw these lines and it looks like insane and then they blend it and you're like whoa where'd it go but it sometimes looks like the same as before and so you're like i mean it looks slightly better but the whole thing is looks like you're not wearing makeup so i never wanted to touch it because it looked like too much to learn and now i am of the age where i have to start covering things up anyway so i was like why don't i learn a skill yeah that's that's how I learned. I contour my abs. Yeah. Her Majesty, like, she's done

really good with the airbrush. That shit looks good. You'll see in the summer. That's what they did with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt's abs from Fight Club were painted on. Those did not exist. Yeah, those were contoured. And look how many motherfuckers fell for that one. Yeah. That's how I'm trying to look, dude. Like, fucking Tyler Durden, bro. I'm on that shit many motherfuckers fell for that one. Yeah, I'm that's I'm trying to look dude

Like fucking Tyler Durden, bro. Like I'm on that shit. You like leaning me That just gave me a flashback to like when I was I was a middle school at summer camp drawing fake cleavage line Yeah, cuz you know when you're like a kid you think right? Got him It's like you think the line like before you understand that what is going on like the line because it's connected to boobies yeah you're like people love a line the boobie line yeah so i'll be like oh let me draw a little line on my chest right they're like did you have open heart surgery i did yeah i actually did have open heart surgery though

even weirder. Yeah. But yeah. Anyways, I thought you were saying that cause you knew. And then I realized. No, no.

I just thought of like a line that someone would just say like, Oh, you put that line on your chest. I'm not familiar with what's going on there. No, no, no. The surgery scar is like white. It's like lighter,

but you got to draw a dark, crisp line. So it looks like the cleavage is popping. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder, has a comic book movie villain ever been the contour? Somebody who completely changes their appearance based on their makeup skills? That feels like it would end up trending into some homophobic shit, though. You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah. The makeup guy who can be anyone like it feels like some ben shapiro movie that's about to come out yeah they're like shape-shifting but yeah that's interesting because it is the idea of uh changing your look is fun but if i agree it would get a little okay how about a superhero who can do that yeah okay yeah you could just delight people with new looks you know it's like oh yeah that would be dope too because you'd be in a bind and they're like shit man they got his corner they're like get your makeup bag out and y'all now look like a bunch of different

people coming out the building they're like exactly the robbers are in there isn't that mission impossible's whole thing though that they just do but they just have that was like lazy they had yeah they just put on a fucking hood that was just like in that voice changer box yeah that shit come on now have it have they been doing masks in the past couple ones i've seen them but they the only thing i remember is the sustained feeling that tom cruise was trying to kill himself in front of me like in creative ways i feel like yeah i i remember like one of the last ones i saw because i had a few had passed and i saw i'm like oh they're still on that rip your face off shit yeah yeah like i know they did it in ghost protocol but it was

but it actually like the technology fucked up and so oh that's right yeah yeah but it's funny how like you don't think that like it's clearly when they do it, like, they'll just have the actual actor that they're portraying be that person. But then suddenly, like, their build changes when they take the mask off. They're like, oh, you're... Wait, what did you say? Broaden your shoulders. You said they have the actor?

No, it's not like... Yeah, they're not really doing the mask. No, I'm saying... What? He's been on... Stop. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop with this man. Somebody come get him. What the fuck are you talking on stop stop stop stop with this man somebody come get him fuck are you talking about i'm calling your nurse acting like he doesn't understand what uh possible teresa what is something you think is overrated he's acting like a boomer okay i don't know if this you guys have seen these ads on your instagram but i overrated using trauma for clout like i get so much instagram and tiktok ads that are like beyond like first it was like get therapy online it's like okay okay and now i literally had an ad that was it looked like a like a tiktok that had a comment on it so you know when people

share a comment but this is the ad the comment said uh only people with trauma responses can solve it and it was like something where you have to like solve but like what like oh my i don't understand the the like did a robot write this because i could see if a robot wrote it because they are just going like people click on trauma because they want to fix it right and then they're like they're engaging please push the trauma but it's so strange i get a lot of these that's the weirdest one but there's a lot like do you may have adhd or like use this notebook and it's all like kind of exclamation point stars like this is trauma trauma response you could be in the trauma club are you a trauma survivor and you're like what like oh yeah pick me pick me yeah it feels like why are you trying to make it cool

like it's so i don't know it's really weird it gives me weird vibes there's a i mean the amount of like diet self-diagnosing that you can do on tiktok is absurd like yeah if you're young and impressionable and you get enough that wormhole, like you would be convinced. I can't believe they're actually using that as marketing, though. You know what I mean? Like, I get that the content was really popular and people were trying to, like, learn more about themselves.

And I get the appeal of something like that. But it yeah, it is like with so many things on there, it's you're starting to see like the more insidious nature of it, especially when it like cynically just using it to market you're just like well well that's marketing though well because i'm like the whole idea of connecting people to understand each other is great but you can tell there's money behind the influencers and the brands now because of these kinds of ads and you're like okay there's what's like the clearly the goal of this is just to sell something like it's not gonna help you you may have trauma try to solve this puzzle and it's like right you may have trauma you'll love this mobile game where

you're a band of three bikers fighting 7 000 zombies like only trauma survivors can solve it is so wild yeah i remember when i was when i was really young like one of the first kind of fantasies i i remember having was like finding out that i had like some condition that made my life harder than everyone else and like that that is i i would like find out and people would be like whoa like he's in constant pain or like you know like some something like his pain hurts twice as bad as everyone else's and i always thought that was so weird and now it feels like it's like what everyone is going through is that we're all just like i want to learn that like my baseline is like harder right than everyone else's we all want the magic like

oh this helps and saves everything but yeah i mean to some degree like there are you know like getting help can sometimes like i remember when i first got on meds it was like oh i felt like i was like swimming underwater now the atmosphere is different but yes for sure but like what you're saying yeah i mean that that's like some young people that could be a sign but it's definitely not something you should be like i can't wait to find out my super trauma like it's like it's become a superpower now i don't know yeah maybe does some kid be like your life's easy you're white jack you're like no please god tell me i feel pain twice as bad as the other people this whole thing

this is my fantasy yeah yeah like i'm not a person of color but i feel pain three times they're like oh okay cool he's cool he's cool he's cool uh what what is something you think is underrated theresa i'm gonna going to go real basic, organizing bins. I moved in with my boyfriend recently and into where he already lives. Oh, thank you. Good things, good times. It's great, but this is probably something guys who have been through this will relate to, I think, because I think that it's more common than I realize.

I move things around constantly because we didn't move in together. So I'm like shuffling things around. I started getting bins to put things that are out, like, oh, floss, pens. Now everything's in bins, but it's still like around because I'm not trying to. So now like his friends will come over and be like,

oh, I see there's more bins around. Like just like all the loose items that were out and about are now in bins but i love it and i think that it doesn't distract from his flow to like what do you mean by do you mind showing me like so give me an example of something that was like yeah and then there's a well i wish i can't grab it now but these bright room clear ones, if you, Target sells them, they're great. You can stack them, like, by our, where we, like, make coffee. It's not like you're filling up, like, Rubbermaid storage containers.

No, no. You're like, yeah, man, there's all this stuff. But they're everywhere. They're everywhere. They're in the bathroom, they're in the kitchen. It's like that, what is that ludicrous song, like, in the car, in the bathroom. Oh, yeah. Or the shaggy song. chris song like uh in the car in the bathroom oh oh yeah in the backseat at the movies you can push me and just pull me yeah i know that one yeah yeah yeah yeah give it to me i can't i can't recommend any more of these clear bins because they stack you could put like coffee pods tea

chocolate everything yeah no that's true. I've never, it's funny. I grew, so you probably seen this. I feel like Asian people will use like Tupperware too as a container storage things like on a desk. Like I grew up, yo,

I remember my mom, she was like, like I'd be like sixth grade. It's like, your room's a mess. It's like, I organized it, but just put all my pens like in a fucking Tupperware and other shit like

that. Or old cookie bins. That's the thing. Like you go to, you go to like an auntiepperware and other shit like that or old cookie bins that's the thing like you go to you go to like an auntie's house and there's like those danish cookies bins oh the blue one the blue metal one that's for sewing that's for sewing that's our sewing kit that's our sewing kit but yeah i think it's just it is funny because i think of that too i have it's just not in my brain to think of buying organizational bins or holders or things like that so i think as just how i'm kind of a like a messy person people who have been to the iheart office back when it was

running my desk looked like some kind of fucking hoarders like nightmare but i'm i will organize your office for you i literally love it like it's like i think a new addiction because if it's fun to organize percentage when you're organizing what percentage of the stuff are you throwing away my high oh what i'm throwing away is my high how high are you and what percentage of the stuff are you well so like i'll i'm trying not to throw away too much because that's the part i think will become annoying like literally i'm like my boyfriend's like it's fine do whatever so i just try to reorganize but i already moved in so a lot of my stuff is gone so it really is just rearranging and i think that part i love it because sometimes until you move you don don't realize what the flow is going to be.

I've had to shuffle where the keys go maybe four times. That is probably annoying. My boyfriend is a saint and he acts like he doesn't mind. I hope he still loves me. I'm sure he does. You're lovable. Are you saying that they've also improved the

container gate? It's no longer the containers that you can get are better than they used to be. Yeah, I think so. I think they realized we were using Tupperware and repurposing old boxes and shit. I used to put my magazine in an old Amazon box cut in half

and now it's like you don't have to spend a lot. You can just couple bucks and get these nice plastic bins that stack. Or my mom, she'll put fucking wrapping paper like nice wrapping paper on other boxes to turn them up yeah my mom had this closet of old boxes like literally i'm like we don't need this it's like stores that are out of business like she says boxes for her she's like what do you mean we don't need this may company box anymore i feel like the one time we made a real run at getting organized my wife and

i are both very disorganized people and really yeah yeah oh i thought your wife was like the the opposites attract thing like no no no we are like identicals attract i love that in that respect because her majesty looks at me and is disgusted sometimes yeah no that's it's it's truly like we we were like should we really get married this is this is, it's truly like we were like, should we really get married? This is going to be a problem. We really love each other, but this is going to be a problem

because we are identically ADD messy people. And we've made it work so far, but we've made multiple runs at getting organized. And sometimes, the last time we did it like via a container store approach the stuff just kind of looked like shit and ended up kind of all over the place we just had a messy house with containers in there yeah you gotta go not to him because i used to be like too ambitious and be like i'm gonna do the whole room and then you start doing

it and then nothing matches but yeah the little thing you start small like you you organize the desk and then you you get like you know oh now i have confidence i could do the kitchen i could do the bathroom and then pretty soon it's like the insides are good so you can then the outsides follow right yeah oh man such is life yeah let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

Brought to you by the National Council for Mental Well-Being, Shatterproof, and the Ad Council. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th

garage. In his goddamn garage. Not great, Joe. Not great. Not helping. How many secret files did this old man have? I don't fucking know at this point.

I know that that is in this story, that fact. I just, I don't know. Well, there was, like, one document in, like, they're, like, all over the place. In this place, in this place. And, like, I think there was only one in the garage. But at the end of the day, you're, like, it's a fucking bad look. If you're trying to bang the drum and be, like, man, how dare you have these top secret documents? And they're, like, oh, hello, motherfucker.

You got them scattered around your shit too. Is this being done by like some rogue Trump appointee or this is just them being so self-serious about their ass coverage? The US attorney who basically recommended to Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to look into biden's document problem is a trump appointee okay so there's that but i'd imagine too if you're actually

on some level this is just what happens right like if you're gonna try and get trump on this shit you at the very least want to say well we did an exhaustive investigation into biden and we did there's a you know declination to prosecute but he also did like as dumb as it was they like immediately corroborated right i mean there's like like yeah yeah yeah no no don't come in oh you came in oh it's planted like it's it's it's grandpa was microwaving his shoes yes exactly oh shit really joe when he was pressed as to why These documents were stored beside his Corvette he claimed it was a

Quote locked garage It's not like they're sitting out on the street Okay grandpa I'm serious I'm serious I'm telling you And then he said he was going to I'm going to get a chance to speak on all this

god willing soon it's just like so uh very enthusiastic while like not having any idea where he is like he's very serious about what he's saying and has no clue where he is 100 it makes me wonder though it does it does i this is the thing that i feel like maybe there's the republican agenda is just a so doubt in general because whether or not fighting cooperates it doesn't matter now we're like oh if this could happen what else is out there and then you start questioning the government which we already are like you after watching the whole mccarthy thing it's like you guys don't know how to do things. You're supposed to know how to do things. And so now it's really easy for them to just plant,

like, this whole thing's falling apart. And, you know, like, you don't know. Documents can get out. What else can get out? Your address. You personally are going to be doxxed by Russia or whatever. They're just going to, like, freak everyone out. It's just funny, too, because, like,

CNN went all in on Monday when this story first broke. Okay, so MSNBC did about 14 minutes of coverage. You get that because they're the lib channel and they don't want to really be like, Joel Byron is senile. And then Fox News, 29 minutes of coverage. They only did 29 minutes of coverage. And CNN, an hour and 47 minutes of coverage to the story. A feature-length film of coverage.

Yeah, of coverage. And you're like, wow, look who the new right-wing darling is on the cable news block. It's so funny. You're like, we need to really balance this out. It's like, bro, you're going harder on this than Fox News? Okay. It is a very CNN-ass thing to do. They've been so focused on being like,

we've got to cover both sides, and any time the Democrats fuck up, we've got to go extra hard. I mean, it's the whole media. It's the way that the game is rigged. The quote-unquote center-left media actually like the most focused on being like right fair and balanced yeah you know complete horseshit and then fair and balanced everything that's not the left well because it makes it really easy for the cuckoos to really pull the other side further

because if you're all about the center all they have to do is like become a real outlier and you're like i guess i gotta move too but it's like no no you can ignore the outliers like the cuckoos are saying this to move the needle not to because they can't believe they still keep falling for it they're like no we can also be fucking vile also please

for clicks let's check back in with uh what is it it's EA because it is effective altruism yes yes is this a sam bakeman free thing yeah i made it popular and art for the forefront yeah he was their their biggest donor but it's like this philosophical school that is secretly a fucking hedge fund basically and they're all about donating money to the most effective means for making the world the most people the happiest and it started with this philosopher

who was like you should focus on finding as much money as we can to donate to countries that like need bed nets to stop the spread of malaria and shit like that and then he because he was like and therefore i'm going to start hanging out with vcp like venture capital people suddenly after like a decade of hanging out with venture capital people it becomes this thing of like actually we shouldn't send that much money to foreign countries instead we should be focusing on like artificial intelligence and all these things that can like make people money and that just just complete bullshit and planetary exploration man yeah exactly and when you do a deep dive into what the philosophy has become it is it has like eugenics in it like it has yeah there's a value system to there's a yeah where the

people in poor countries they're like yeah but see their output is not that great it doesn't create that much uh good for humanity in the long run and therefore we don't have to focus on helping the people in the poor countries because they're essentially their lives aren't worth as much right hey yeah pull up the kpis on myanmar real quick yeah it like creates that otherness i feel like because it's like i mean hollywood does the kind of stuff a lot but it's a little more like transparent but just the whole like we want to help as long as we're it's clear that we're helping someone much more unfortunate than ourselves. There's never really this acknowledgement. That's like,

we're all people that could one day need help or maybe today need help. Like you could need help and still be helping someone. Those two things can happen at the same time, you know, like, yeah. Yeah. I have the most money and I'm smart.

So let me, let me tell you how to fix it. Yeah. This guy, Nick Bostrom, that's, this is a philosopher who is like, you who is sort of at the forefront of this. He's not the main one, but he is a...

He's the one that, with Sam Bankman-Fried, had a lot of influence over this movement. And he's also the guy who really made the idea that this is a simulation, man. That's his big thing. But earlier this week, he said he wanted to get ahead of a potential smear campaign because he caught wind of somebody looking into an old email listserv that like for sci-fi fans, he was like involved in in the 90s. And he's ahead of a smear campaign.

That sounds like shit. I forgot to delete. He's like, fuck it. Let me just tell you I was racist before this Guardian piece does. He's like, fuck it. Let me just tell you I was racist before this Guardian piece does. So what he said is, you know, he talks about this thing. It's like this listserv in the mid-90s quote where people had conversations about science fiction, future technology, society, and all sorts of random things.

It was not moderated. So the noise level was very high. Occasional interesting ideas, but also large quantities of silly, mistaken, or outright offensive stuff. Outright offensive stuff. Sorry, a bit of a Freudian sleeve. Outright and outright. I said Freudian sleeve, Freudian slip. So this is like an excerpt from one of these emails that he posted that he's saying,

look, I'm just going to be upfront with y'all. This is some shit that I said. Quote, I have always liked the uncompromisingly objective way of thinking and speaking. Oh my God, shut up already. The more counterintuitive and repugnant a formulation, the more it appeals to me given that it is logically correct. Take, for example, the following sentence. Blacks are more stupid than whites. I like that sentence,

and I think it is true. But recently I've begun to believe that I won't have much success with most people if I speak like that. They would think that I were a racist, that I disliked black people and thought it is fair if blacks are treated badly. I don't. It's just that based on what I have read, I think it is probable that black people have a lower average IQ than mankind in general. I may be wrong about the facts, but it is what the sentence means for me. For most people, however, the sentence seems to be synonymous with I hate those bloody N words. And he didn't redact that in his fucking thing. He just said, look, hard R bombs coming out.

Oh, my God. Yeah. And he goes on with this like weird fucking defense of like this, you know, I'm sorry my words offend you. It's like the early, I'm sorry if my facts offend you shit. Sorry, my words offend you. It's like the early, I'm sorry if my facts offend you shit. But he says, quote,

my point is that while speaking with the provocativeness of unabashed objectivity would be appreciated by me and many other persons on this list, it may be a less effective strategy in communicating with some people, some of the people, quote, out there. I think it's laudable

if you accustom people to the offensiveness of truth, but be prepared that you may suffer some personal damage. Oh my God, he's talking like, you know, when someone's trying to write an essay and bullshitting about a topic they have no idea about but they need the word count yeah i'm like this essay would get poor marks like yeah hey look man facts don't care about your feelings yeah you know wait was that was that last paragraph my point is that while speaking with the was that that was part of his original post yeah okay so he's kind of doing that thing

where he's like no if you don't agree with like he's like if you don't agree with me and i know you probably don't um you're just on the other side of dumb and so like you really can't there's not even a real argument he's like you gotta see this is the thing the fucking world doesn't want to accept that black people are just dumb right and so but he's not even leaving room for discord i mean like not that it should be but like it's like a manipulation tactic because he's kind of being like here's something but if you don't believe it which i know you probably don't you're also dumb and you're like that i mean at the end of the day it's for all these people to like circle jerk and be like we're the fucking smartest dudes and i'm sorry that we're seeing through the fucking matrix like that but he goes on to say this is this is his

follow-up so after that excerpt he says quote i completely repudiate this disgusting email from 26 years ago it does not accurately represent my views then or now this is the funny part the invocation of a racial slur was repulsive i immediately apologized that's how what he said yeah invocation of a we're not a church motherfucker invocation the fuck is this so i think again he then he does the other thing of the i'm not a racist white guy by then track like like going down about, look at all this money I've given to the bloody pores and Negroes out there. And then at the end of the day, he doesn't really apologize for his use of the N word or even this stupid ass way of thinking.

He's not even, he just, he just goes about, Oh, I saw you invoked a racial slur. Yeah. So talk about the bullshit thing that you were saying and explain why it's incorrect. If this is part of your fucking, like, apology. And also, that exact thing is a big part of effective altruism. Like, the profiles that you read about it, they spend a lot of time being like, how do we communicate our God-level genius ideas to outside people without offending them?

So this is like already what he's talking about when he's talking about effective altruism. Like effective altruism is just like at its core, you know, just rotten. It's like savior complex. It's like we know how to help you. Just let us. And it's like, help yourself, dude. This is what he says to later on. He's like when he tries to kind of dance around the fact that he's saying this racist nonsense he's they're

like he goes what about eugenics do i support eugenics no not as the term is commonly understood oh my god whoops yeah see uh but anyway this is again these are like the minds that are at the forefront of like trying to shape what they think fucking the next iteration of our world and society can be, which is basically facts and figures. Oh, I'm sorry. You live in this. If you live in the global south, I hope your output's good. Otherwise, you're a non-participant in life. Yeah. Jeez.

I think we should stop, uh, like letting rich people show receipts to show how quote unquote good they are. Like, I think the new standard should be how many poor people have given you money. Because then it's like,

you're probably cool with poor people. Like, you know, because if you're just, I mean, if you're rich and you're just like making money in a bad way and you're giving people money, it's like,

that tells me nothing. That tells me that you have a lot of money and that you feel guilty. I'm not saying don't donate. Like, Hey, anyone listen to this. If you want to guiltily donate, keep doing that.

Just think about how much you're also willing to, how often you're willing to accept help. Definitely donate. Just don't donate through ethical. Yeah. Whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah. how often you're willing to accept help. Definitely donate, just don't donate through ethical effect about tourism. Whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah.

I think we need to all give and receive in life in the way that, you know, like not saying I hate this 69 position, but I'm just saying like, think about life like 69, you know, like if you're only ever giving, you're not really giving,

you're like, you're making up for some shit, right? You got to feel like you can ask for help because you're not better than. 69 the earth. 69 your fellow humans. 69 your life. Thank you.

I love this TED talk, Teresa. It's beautiful. Thank you. 69 your life. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And real quickly, we got to talk about the storms in California that have been happening for the last two weeks. Are probably going to continue in the next, at least the next couple days or over the weekend. Yeah, there's like two more storms coming.

Yeah, 19 people have died already. That's bad. Yeah, a billion dollars worth of damage. It's an atmospheric river. An atmospheric river. That turned into a cyclone bomb is what we have, which is basically just saying, oh yeah, we're just going to empty a bunch

of water on this part of the earth for days at a time. Yeah. And it's like they they told us this was coming or like about within the last 12 months. They were like, California, because of climate change, is going to start seeing these once every millennial millennium storms happening on a regular basis. They're going to be flooded like constantly, repeatedly. And it's because of climate change. So you would think that as once the disaster arrives, that's how it would be covered. Yeah. I mean, most people saw the footage and were like, that looks not good at all, which would then probably lead a person to say, why this happened? And then that's usually when the news would inform you of what is happening in the world around you. But sadly, during the first few days of the storm in California, there was barely any mention of climate change.

Media Matters did an analysis of the news coverage on TV and found, quote, found that with one exception, cable news networks, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and national broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, failed to link these events to our warming climate. They said CNN, Fox, MSNBC aired a total of 33 combined segments on the California rain. CNN covered the storms the most with 24 segments followed by Fox, blah, blah, blah. CNN was the only one to mention climate change, but that was only because they were interviewing san francisco mayor london breed who who brought up the term climate change it wasn't them saying it they were talking to somebody in california like yeah man well climate change and our and like these kinds of things these this is sort of the world we're having to prepare for

unless we do something urgently are you saying uh the news uh TV, an industry much sponsored by advertisers that add to climate change? Maybe, maybe. 100%. No subtlety to this one. Yeah. No subtlety to this one. The wild thing, though, is this weird habit of the media, funders aside, is that they treat climate change like a seasonal thing. It's not Christmas time.

Oh, it's climate change time. This shit has been happening all over the world all the time. Yeah, it's still going on. Pick any given season, like Earth season, and I'm telling you, there's some wild shit happening somewhere. Somewhere where the heat is like you've never seen the in in europe they were like all the people were like our ski season's fucked because it's so fucking hot over here like what do you think the fuck that is and that's what i think is really alarming too is because most people are like you know aren't critically ingesting the news that we're just defaulting to this thing it's like damn bad storms again huh not damn the clock is fucking ticking on this place and we have to get shit

done and i get it because obviously that's you know it's about maintaining the status quo on that but shit yeah fucking disheartening yeah so let's talk about it so hbo max prices are going up as are a bunch of the streaming prices. HBO Max is going to cost an extra dollar. So it's going from $14.99 to $15.99 per month in February. That's as much as an egg costs now at Whole Foods. I know. Fucking egg. Anyway, that's a whole other thing.

But this whole model, this isn't new. This isn't new in streaming. It's not new elsewhere. Like that, like where cellular plans, TV, and any subscription model. Cellular. I like that. Oh, man. We don't call it mobile now.

Mobile. I call it cellular. Hell yeah. It's like get on that cellular telephone. Get on that cell phone. But they get you in the door. And then once you're there, and auto renewing and no longer paying attention they just like ramp up the price to some ungodly number and then you turn around in 18 months and you're like wait why am i poor

oh because my espn plus account like went up to a hundred dollars on you know like whatever the fuck it is the i i feel like it's all part of this they've built this world of just information pollution where like we're just so snowed under by so much different shit and they're just they're counting on that in some ways where they're just like everybody's fucking helpless to keep track of all of the things they need to keep track of and so you just get buried in all this noise like our email inboxes are like dominated chris yamaguchi man put it uh on twitter a few weeks ago he was like my email inbox is 90 places that i bought a shirt from seven years ago. Oh my God, that's hilarious.

They've just completely... And that's how the way it is with news. There's so much news coming in. Only some of it we have to give a shit about, but they've gamified all of it. So now you're on the winning team or the losing team and just like bombarded to the point of exhaustion so at any given moment it's just like i don't fucking know like what am i gonna do that is interesting because yeah like until you said that i hadn't really like thought about how streaming it used to be like you know hbo is more like like narrative like cinematic but now everything has a mix of sports news like real-time

coverage documentaries funny comedies or whatever like it's all like everything's everywhere and so all you can't just all I want yeah but you can't like you can't just be like oh like you know let me just consume like you know non-fiction because it's like where do you go for that even like the old school not like nat geo discovery all that is doing that all those places are doing um fun reality and whatever now so it's like they've abandoned the learning channel is now about watching toxic abusive relationships and you're like huh but yeah i mean this is just kind of like someone recently put a graphic up of like if you add up all the streaming shit they're like you're paying more than cable yeah at this point you're

we've crossed we've we've we've reached that point where it's like there's too many damn services and if you want to keep up with all of like the mainstream media like offerings out there for tv and shit you're spending way more money now. And you lose track because I think it's really, it's kind of brilliant because you're like, oh, that's just only $6.99. Okay, I'll get that one.

Oh, that one's $7.99. And then you look, you're like, hold on, man. I'm paying a fucking, what the fuck am I doing right now? Yeah. Do you think like it's possible because when Steve Jobs

made like the iTunes store, at first we were like, there's no way. But now you buy music a la carte. And I remember thinking like, I would not do that. Do were like there's no way but now you buy music a la carte and I remember thinking like I would not do that do you think there's a world in our near future where we like get rid of like the big conglomerates and we're buying programs like you know like books books can be sold in all bookstores why do we need to watch it seems like subscribe to a whole streaming

platform it seems like most people in like in the industry think that it's gonna turn into a singularity again like cable like they're gonna find a way to package all this shit together and it's not gonna be because that you stand to lose money if you allow people to buy things a la carte that's why like sometimes well as an advertiser but not as a or as a platform but not as a creator like sure sure oh absolutely but then that's a complete that's like that's a business model that would completely upend the predatory nature of how like people are compensated in in the industry i'd say but i think like with how like you know if you think about like a cable company is like i want i just want the internet they're like well you're gonna get this phone and cable too

yeah right like what can i just get the other thing it's like no no this is how we help you try and like incentivize you to add more shit on and stay within our ecosystem so you end up being like a higher margin consumer which is what this shit is all about is creating high margin consumers it's not just streaming too like all like um i bought microsoft office because i had to update it and then they offered me a free year of uber one i'm like well how are these things related and but uber all these lyft plus postmates they're like you want to watch the big game how about three months of free delivery and like i kind of understand how they're related in that

we're all people who are who have to use these big companies because they're like basically monopolies but i'm like why are they all teaming up to take our money like yeah yeah what happened to the competition making the product better nah nah nah how can we squeeze the fucking life out of you with all these add-ons and shit i'll be an uber one like one person like if anyone needs a delivery text me i will whatever rate be it if i'm free i will deliver it to your house there you go i just just for the love of wanting to take down these big companies okay let's all just start delivering you against uber yeah i love it yeah yeah there no differentiation. It's just all one big gray. It's like Play-Doh after you put all the Play-Doh together

and it just becomes gray. It's like that's what... You just live in this weird gray Play-Doh blob and everything's the same and it's all providing the same service and it's all bad and God. What a nightmare well look like I said they're all

struggling for cash right now and I could care less about the corporation struggling Miles let's get rid of the big executives come on man Bob Iger just told all the Disney folks you're back in the office four days a week Bobby's back

I think we get rid of all the Disney folks, you're back in the office four days a week. Bobby's back. I think we get rid of all the C-level jobs. They're the ones being like nobody wants to work. All of them are unemployed, no income. They have enough savings to just go on vacation for a little bit. And then when they come back, they can work for us.

That, I think, is the plan. That's the way forward. Well, we just need to send them all to that tropical island that Larry Summers is on, like waxing philosophical about the future of the fucking economy and just put them on a closed-circuit TV that only they can see. And they're just doing interviews back and forth,

talking about their speculation. And then we're back here burning down their whole this whole fucking mess that they've created because it really it's really like any sort of human interaction has been removed as like yeah we're creating a frictionless consumer environment and that's like i literally called my health insurance today because i got an email that it was canceled i'm getting a refund it turned out that i had switched it without realizing but when i called the person on the phone who was just doing her job she doesn't know but she was like oh i think we've been getting a lot of calls like this um i think

what blue cross has been doing is we uh they've been canceling people's numbers just because they want to give people new member ids so they'll refund and then people can't pay their bills because they don't know their member id so you probably have this let me look into it turns out it wasn't that so i don't even know she was lying and just you know saying that but i'm like that's bad like yeah why is that happening she's like i don't know i'm like but you should like you're the person people call they should tell you american consumers and american corporations are in the most toxic relationship it's just like they're like i'm gonna treat you like shit and then you're gonna have to like just come back to me and then i'm

gonna treat you like shit again and give you the worst excuse or no excuse and you're gonna keep taking it because there's nothing you can do. That's really mean. Sounds like something that you'd see on TLC. Yeah, sign me up. Sounds like something you'd see on what? On TLC, actually. You'd see relationships exactly like that on 90 Day Fiancé.

Well, Teresa, such a pleasure having you as always. Where can people find you, follow you? Oh, thank you. This is so fun. I love coming on the show.

I don't know the person. I just saw it posted. As a therapist, I can say confidently that while therapy is helpful, what most peopleie on Riverdale. I'm not a big fan of Riverdale. I just saw this, but this guy on New Year's Eve was showing a true mirror at some party and someone got her reaction looking into this true mirror. And it's a really cool video to watch because I think she posts on her Instagram too, but she really lights up as she's realizing this is what people see. And her eyes light up because he's like, yeah, this is when you look into someone's eyes.

You can see the light. But usually in the mirror, you don't see that because it's not reflected. And you watch her whole face like, oh my God, really? And she lights up, realizing that she lights people up. And it's a really sweet video. That's awesome. Miles, where can people find you?

Oh, find me on twitter and instagram uh miles of gray and uh also check jack and i out on our other podcast miles and jack uh fantastic basketball podcast and also like i was talking about if you want to talk about the trash on tlc check me and sophia alex Alexander out on 420 Day Fiance.

Where I'd buy fast fashion, new makeup, and launch a three-month full-scale skin, body, and metaphysical journey to combat thigh sweat on the grounds. I miss that rush. It really used to be something. And this one is from Grayson Allen and Joyer. I don't know if you saw this. What's the Bucks coach's name? Mike Buddenhall or something like that? Yeah, Mike Buddenhall.

Buddenholzer or something? Budden, hey, they call him Bud. You know, Bud. Yeah, this man took a sip of a Dasani at a press conference and his face melted. And I just love this video because there's Bud's reaction to drinking Dasani. The water should be illegal. And some of y'all can't see this, but he's going to take a sip of Dasani.

He's like looking off and he's like, yo, what the fuck did I just drink? And he looks at some goes, nah, this ain't it. This ain't it. I think he has a beef with Dasani. I think some of the people are saying in the comments, but you know, really like he was being messy on purpose. Some people were like,

it almost feels like he was, you know, like he had the reaction before he actually had a chance to taste it. Look, I'm a Dasani King. I know you're a nice cold one like that. So you see the condensation. Hey,

fuck bottle water in general. You can drink tap water for it in most places, unless you can't because the government has failed you, but it's definitely not as bad as he just made it seem. Uh, let's see a tweet. I've been enjoying, uh,
