Hey, hey. We are. We're excited to have you i was just uh thinking again about uh north hollywood you know i we have brent weinbach on recently and you know he went to grant and i was like oh shit you're from the valley and he's like not commuted from hollywood fucking disgrace but so he's never coming back just a little just a little north hollywood news i thought i'd share with Molly. Molly, what's good?

What's new with you? Anything new since last we spoke? Yeah, I mean, vaxxed. Nice. Ready for snacks. Vaxxed to the max. You're on the two weeks of the second shot? Yeah. Second shot side?

Okay. I'm out in the world. Just running around in the sunshine. Did you burn your masks or just shred shred them what how'd you do that no but but i have been like like starting to forget them when i leave the house sometimes which is yeah you gotta be careful though stuff them in pockets of everything now yeah yeah yeah oh my god i do the thing where yeah down the stream like oh fuck i gotta turn around and get my fucking mask. That's the problem with disposable masks is, like, I'll find them, and they could be, like, from when I had a cold nine months ago,

but they're, like, in the pocket of something. Got to take that chance sometimes. Yeah, you just got to roll with it, and then you smell it, and you're like, oh, damn. Hmm, coffee and frickles? That's a weird combo. All right, Molly, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Hmm. Coffee and frickles. of step with most epidemiologists like 80 percent uh that were consulted by uh the new york times thought that people should be wearing masks indoors no matter whether they were vaccinated or not for the next year uh the cdc was like nah nah joe biden wants us to be throat and glizzies

by july 4th can't have masks on you can't do that with a mask on. Throat and glizzies. We're going to check in with the world of bosses and just kind of catch up on what they're... We haven't been seeing our bosses as much lately. We don't necessarily know what the lingo is.

The worldview is? Yeah, the worldview. We're going to find out, catch up with their lexicon of like lazy workers and the pandemic is over and nobody wants to work anymore so we'll talk about that we'll talk about uh the future of advertising uh just invading your car uh courtesy of ford we'll talk about uh just another uh facet of the new york York Times attempt to cover Gaza in a both sidesy manner and just how transparent that is. The new space race starring Tom Cruise. We'll talk about cats as rat killers, all of that, plenty more.

But first, Molly, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Wow. I am obsessed with these Twitter accounts that just post a Google photo of every address in the city. So the one that I look at constantly is Every Lot LA, which is just a picture of every lot in la but there's also every lot chicago every lot new york uh i follow them all wait i don't understand what what does it do it just posts it's just a bot and that is programmed to post a picture of like every address wanted it like a picture of every google maps shot of every building it's like every building in every city

it's wild because like right now they're like on laurel canyon yeah yeah like in the valley and i'm like yo what the fuck yeah last night i was looking at it because they're on Victory Boulevard and it's just like a stretch of Victory Boulevard I love. So I was just like... Victory Boulevard! We love it. Oh shit, that's a victory right there about a North Hollywood shootout.

Yeah, just the zone. That's like my old elementary school right there. Yeah, and I just love the account and I love that it's a bot because I just like, well, wait, it posts every 20 minutes. So I'll be like, oh, man, only eight more minutes until we get another every lot post. Now, this is the sort of thing just thinking with my NFT brain here. You can pile all of those into a single file and then you can add an NFT and sell that for. I'd pay 300K for that.

Real estate speculation going on just pictures of real estate. I mean, it's a fucking no brainer, Molly. I mean, Decentraland, kind of like that. This is dope, though. This is really cool. It's just weird. It's a bizarre account, you know, because this is essentially like if you've ever just...

They're just clipping out these Street View things and giving you the address, but it is... I find myself it's weird because the specific part of the city they're in right now is a part where I know very intimately. So they caught me at a good moment on Every Glide LA right now. We're in a good stretch. Yeah.

It gives you an unfettered view. Even my memory, I remember the stores that are open. I don't remember how many of the stores are boarded up, but it's like nine-tenths boarded up stores uh on here well there's this well right now where they're at like in north hollywood is this old business park that has just died it's actually they shot the opening of uh what's what's the marvel movie mrs mark what's the captain marvel captain marvel miss marvel where she touched it down in that blockbuster that's in that same business park, abandoned business park in North Hollywood where the

Gold's Gym is and all this other shit. And that thing has just been dying over the last 30 years. So it's kind of a bummer part of Hollywood that they're at right now. It rules. That's awesome. Also, the Sizzler. You might see that image. Yeah, I just saw the Sizzler.

First Sizzler ever went to. Is that real? That one right there. Yep. Yep. First Sizzler, you might see that image. Yeah, I just saw the Sizzler. First Sizzler I ever went to was that one right there. Yep, yep. First Sizzler I ever went to. Sizzler wasn't a big deal where I lived at the time that I first saw White Men Can't Jump, but when they, like, it was a legendary eating establishment in my mind because of that movie,

because of the we're going to Sizzler celebration. What is something you think is overrated, Molly? I'm going to say overrated high waist jeans. Underrated low waist jeans. Wow. We've taken it back. One thing I've noticed since being back in stores

is that everything is super high waisted right now, which is what Gen Z loves. But to me, it reminds me of the late 80s, early 90s Seinfeld jeans. I think you got to be really young and tall for that to look good at all. Right. And people really don't want low-rise jeans to come back because some people have bad memories of that but i i'm ready i think it's i think it's coming where the distance between like the crotch and the waistband was like three inches well i was saying like benefers back you know oh yeah i saw you post the monolo blonic you saw the monolo blonic tims are coming back and if that's coming back you know yeah we're we're gonna get the

the uh crotch grazing pants are coming back absolutely and we gotta have the the those like gradient sunglasses with the little bit jewel those little gucci shades from back in the day yeah i think i went from being like oh no the 2000s fashion is coming back to be like you know what i'm gonna look on the bright i'll take the good i like some of it honestly waiting for the moment. I go to my mom's house and I just pull up some old shit that I have and I'm like killing it. They're like, oh, my God, this guy just came out of 2005. They're like, is that the rock?

Yeah, right. That miles Rocky Gray. Is that a backup dancer from a 112 video? Rocky Gray. Is that a backup dancer from a 112 video? Is that the 112 CD that was the only music in Molly's prom limo? So we just listened to

Peaches and Cream a hundred times. Was that by choice or that was just what the driver was bringing? It was literally there was one CD and it was that and I was the really excited person who was like, oh, let's listen to that. That was the most exciting part of prom for me. It was listening to 112 in a limo with like LED lights in it.

That album was fire though. You know what I mean? It's over now. Peaches and cream. Dance with me. The little thing, the little intro in the video is like... You looking at me. I can tell by the eyes that you're feeling me.

And I really want you to get close to me. So I want you to dance with me. Dance with me. Like drop, drop in the parking lot. And I'm trying to get you back to my spot. Baby. See? And the 112, the intro had the dead wrong beat

from Biggie on it. And then Slim would come in and sing. What a good time we were in, huh? I will never see a room 112 in a hotel or an apartment building without thinking, well, that's where the players dwell. Right there. Millennial dad jokes. That's the shit that they're going to say.

You're going to be like, hey, kids, you know what's going on in there. What? That's where the players dwell. Just ask Mark Hasner or Fidel in hell. Make you feel good like Tony, Tony, Tom. Like, what is he doing? The whole verse. It feels good.

Tony, Tony, Tom. Like, what is he doing? The whole verse. It feels good. I feel like an underrated thing is Diddy's ad libs in the background of tracks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Speaking of people who can't sing, I don't know if you've heard like people like Shady Engineers have just taken his acapella, him singing vocals and those were like leaked

before. And it sounds like a dying cat whining at a karaoke night. Come on. I don't know why, after I really put my back into the it feels good thing, you had to say, speaking of people who can't sing, Miles, that was not even subtly fucked up, man. I put my heart into that. I put myself out there.

My bad, my bad I was trying to create a safe space and I didn't Alright, 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 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.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,

where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County rebels will stay the Boone County rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in the prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,

these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo.

And we're back. And we're just looking at the ben garrison woke disney world yeah just you know people have to only vaccinated people get in you're gonna get on the pronoun train you're going to the black lives matter horn it's all this like black lives matter terrible come eat come comedy what do you call this just hate

propaganda whatever the fuck you want to call this shit nonsense anyway it's called comedy nice try all right let's talk about the uh new mask off cdc advisement people people were accusing them of being too uh cautious uh mainly like right-wing people from Texas. And now they're like, I feel like this is a good example of the sort of mainstream reacting only to people who don't believe in science. So basically, they said on Thursday, last Thursday, that fully vaccinated Americans no longer need to wear masks in most places. And the New York Times writes that that came as a surprise to many people in public health. In an informal survey, 80% said they thought Americans would need, and these are epidemiologists, not just people. It's not like family feud. 80% of epidemiologists said they thought Americans would need to wear masks in public indoor places for at least another year. Just 5% said people would no longer need to wear masks indoors by this summer. And the CDC was like, yeah, we're good. We'll go with the 5%. And yeah, I mean, it seems like they're trying to make it look fun to be vaccinated,

which I get, but I also don't think it's good to betray the science in order to appeal to the people who don't believe in science. Or just create a sentiment that you can can exhale right now literally without a mask yeah yeah no you know like this idea that like oh yeah like because you know the motherfuckers who aren't getting vaccinated are gonna be like oh shit okay cool like if somebody asks someone just say i'm vaccinated that's right it's like the scumbagging you is gonna think that immediately be like okay so if they're they must have factored in what it could mean for people who don't give a shit that's just very that's what i was saying like even when we were talking on the trends episode about this happening like even though how much like sure you may not have to

wear a mask but just in general there's a feeling of uncertainty still with the pandemic that wearing a mask still can communicate outwardly that you're like, whatever. I'm just not fucking around. It's all good. CDC said, fuck it. Yeah, literally. It's party time. They said, we don't care. It's just, yeah.

I don't know who this helps exactly. I don't think to the point of it maybe being incentivizing vaccination. It's supposed to incentivize vaccination, but as a lot of people have pointed out, it just means that a lot of

people will stop wearing masks and lie about being vaccinated. And then if you have no way to verify it, then this is really nothing. Plus, if you didn't get them with the Shake Shack crinkle cut fries, I mean, this isn't going to do it. Dude, did you watch that video I sent yesterday? About when de Blasio was actually breaking it down for people?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's nightmarish. It's so strange. Oh, wow. And then these fries. I mean, these are so good. I'm thinking, wow, maybe vaccination is good because I'm eating these fries. Like what? Yeah. That doesn't make it. Okay. Sure. Yeah. They should have just said get vaccinated and we'll give you crinkly fries. free fries come on man you had to put on this

these asterisks by this fucking simple ass the only way the democrats know how to do shit man they yeah they still means testing the fucking free fries testing you can get your unemployment benefits if you prove that you didn't say no to a job how the fuck are you gonna prove that

and then you can get these free fries if you come in with like paperwork with a file that proves that you got vaccinated. Yeah. But shout out to Bill de Blasio for looking like he knows how to eat French fries. Did a great performance. It was very like a rich person eating fries type thing. He thought it was amusing.

Yeah, yeah. He's like, I remember I used to eat these when I was a kid. Yeah, exactly. He hasn't, I remember I used to eat these when I was a kid. Yeah, exactly. He hasn't had a french fry in fucking decades. Right. And he had to ask his health. He had like a health consultant on hand. He was like, am I allowed to eat a burger before noon?

He says it's okay. People don't eat at these chain places, but this isn't bad. He says it's okay. People don't eat at these chain places, but this isn't bad. Well, another group that is probably going to be excited to hear that they can officially announce that the pandemic is over are the bosses. The people who stand on the side of corporate interests and capital. They've had their concerns about how this pandemic thing is going to affect uh the workers the workers are just too used to having it uh good i think is is their read on the situation it's it's a panic for this group because there's a couple things going

on first is more subtle right it's like a rhetorical thing that i seem to be reading all over the place whether it's an op-eds or fucking communications emails whatever you that there's talk that suggests that we are out of the pandemic or things that are people saying like as we move out of the pandemic i'm first of all i'm like huh the pandemic is not over so why are we even talking like this framing that has begun from this group of people, which is very interesting. And first of all, like we already know as people were past this point of, you know, thinking of herd immunity as we thought, or we could reach these numbers of people getting vaccinated, but it's too many people that are anti-vax. people that are anti-vax. So we're not going to meaningfully get this disease under control anytime soon. Like, yeah, it may be less devastating, but to say that we have it under control is just a complete misnomer. And I think people that they don't realize, people are going to continue to work with this cloud hanging over of that. Most people still believe that we're

not out of the woods, that things aren't just so chill already. Like that's not the case. More than likely, people know someone whose lives have been affected adversely from COVID, whether it's a loss of life or just, you know, long COVID or whatever, being out of work. There's a lot of trauma that remains from just this idea like this entire last year. just this idea like this entire last year. And this also goes along with this stat that you just see how insulated the wealthy are, you know, because from the start of the pandemic through whether it was their health or their wealth,

they were not experiencing the pandemic in the same way their employees were. I'd imagine, unless the, these are people who are living in the exact same way that, you know, a worker is. So because they're not in the same psycho-emotional environment as their workers their perspective is so distorted that maybe like these people might be ready to go

back to work but many people are still living in a world that is still so uncertain and volatile that they aren't even necessarily at that point where they can even process what has or is happening and to have on top of that this like push to be like all right guys that was something huh we got out of there we got our vaccines i think everybody's ready to get back to work you know and do all this i think it's just a real big disconnect uh between these two groups and then that bleeds into this whole the resurgence of welfare queen 2.0 which is all these signs we've been seeing up where people are saying, nobody wants to work for fart dust anymore, so we got to close. And this is now creating this bullshit perception that people have become so lazy because of stimulus checks that they refuse to work and it's hurting business and it's total bullshit. I just want to point the U S chamber of commerce, the fucking group that is fully on, you know,

the boss gang, they put out a study that's saying that the additional $300 of pandemic benefits quote results in approximately one in four recipients taking home more in unemployment than they earned working. And they use that to sort of underline the motivation of someone or to create the rational rationalization of someone who would refuse work. But, hey, assholes, that's a fucking indictment. Wages you pay. Fuck wit. I say, like, oh, yeah, we got it so good. If the government is there, their baseline of help is better than the wages you're paying.

You have a serious fucking problem. is better than the wages you're paying you have a serious fucking problem and i think they don't like that this sort of weird this organic sort of movement of people being like yeah our subsubsistence wages good right no i don't want them that's also affecting this whole thing and now we have politicians and the media willing to take this lie of like oh well the stimulus is so good then now we're hearing things like joe biden be like, well, maybe we need to fuck. We got to do all this means testing. Yeah. And it's all born out of this nonsense. Yeah.

The emergency food rations are so good. They're not going to go back to the slop that we're feeding them, guys. It's this is bullshit. We need to stop feeding them emergency food rations is the logic there. There's just not even an actual acknowledgement of the other barriers that someone might have to go back. It's not just that, oh, well, I like the stimulus better because the pandemic is not over. There's things like child care or having to take care of family members and other things that would say, I'm sorry, I can't leave my house to go work right now. Like the pandemic has affected all these other things in my life that still I'm it's better for me to take this option because there's no other help available. But these are all things that are missed in this really disingenuous analysis of like, God, there's so many jobs and nobody wants to work.

What the fuck's happening? Because they want to go back to normal, which is the threat of poverty or the threat of being unhoused and dying because you have no money is the way they can keep people to take these wages. And that's really what this is. It just feels like they just want to get back to this power dynamic that they feel that they're probably slowly losing their grip on as people are like, fuck it, I'm not working. You see Chipotle and McDonald's were like, OK, we're reconsidering our wages now because we realize that maybe that's a thing that is holding people back. Yeah. And just like kind of connecting the so the means testing thing that was being discussed by the Biden administration, I think proposed was that if you said no to a job that you had before the pandemic, if you said no to or like a similar had before the pandemic, if you said no to,

uh, or like a similar level job, then you couldn't get your unemployment benefits. And so like specifically the person you're talking about, whose kids still has to go to school from home, who, you know, needs childcare help,

uh, and therefore can't go back to work right now. Like they would not be eligible for unemployment benefits. No. And then now this person who has to take care of other people is now put into a further state of desperation. It's just like, you know, for all of the nice shit that we thought was going to come out of this,

we're also seeing how much the forces of this of this system are like trying to really snap it right back together to where it was with a very minimal change like hey y'all let's all go back to work and uh forget about that you could live not in fear of getting evicted constantly right oh god don't we don't want that we don't want people to get in touch with their worth right you know because that's the other thing too people are like what the fuck you're gonna pay me this on top of again the pandemic is not over you talk to people in the service in like a restaurant industry they're like the amount of people who come in reckless it's wild to me like and it's another area of stress people who have been like line cooks have suffered tremendously through the pandemic because of things like this. On top of it, we still have all the sort of forces that are

set up by the government to say that, hey, there's no legal liability for an employer if they force you to work and you get sick if something bad happens to you. We're not going to put them on the hook for that. So how the fuck is someone going to look at this situation and say, this is exactly what I want and not actually address like what the real needs are and all of the ills that have been just, just fully exposed. Like if you were trying to hide from it, it's really hard to do it now and still not wanting to do something meaningful, but. The childcare thing in particular, I just wanted to like kind of circle back to that because there's been a number of studies on like the educational gap that happens between lower income families and people who, you know, make

a livable wage and only have to work one job. And the education gap that happens is almost exclusively from at-home stuff because the parents have to be working around the clock like to to make enough money just to like feed their family and so the kids are left to fend for themselves so like that like child care is such a such a crucial part of this like cycle of you know just trying to keep people who are poor uh poor and like keep generationally like uh withhold opportunities like it's it's a crucial linchpin of that whole cycle. employees if they weren't constantly stressed about their kids and uh like we said paying rent and stuff like that it would actually make them better at jobs and want to work more and that's why every other civilized nation does that right yeah but then big big child care gets too powerful and you don't want them getting more powerful than big military industrial complex. You don't want like the education, child care world to get too powerful. You got to keep got to keep the power in the hands of the weapons manufacturers, the people who make tanks for our police like think about who has the power and the money in our world it's in in america

it's the weapons makers and the people who don't are like teachers get shit and get like thrown under the bus if they ask for money it's like well these fucking teachers unions are screwing your kids over it's like no the whole system is designed to make people who make weapons rich, you dumb fuck. Like, how is that a healthy way to run a culture? We'll find out. Boy, is it profitable. We'll find out after this decade. We'll be right back after this decade.

After this devastating decade. I mean, yeah, it's hard to see where it all ends up. devastating decade i mean yeah it's it's hard to see like where it all ends up because yeah to the point of these military buds like why are we spending 700 plus billion on just cocking our fist back at the rest of the world because our money is not based on much but except the threat of this fit cocked fist to be like what you're gonna do stop using this as a global trade currency for petroleum oh i dare you but because of this you flinch yeah we're completely over leveraged on this fucking stupid military industrial complex and on top of it yeah like we're we we're asking ourselves questions like how are we gonna pay to support single

parents how are we gonna pay to educate these people how are we gonna pay for better outcomes in our cities for people who need who have lack or suffering from a lack of access because we're looking at almost i mean whatever that's the thing i think until that is more normalized especially in like the new like normal news where the everyday person will start hearing some shit like that it's it's oh my god it's gonna sound like some shit activists are only saying right yeah just wait when the conversation about defunding the police came up and you saw the portion of the city budget in los angeles and you know all big cities that goes to the

police force and then like just the fucking tantrum that the police throw if you talk about like instead of buying an extra helicopter with gun turrets on it, if you like, you know, give free preschool to people like it's a it's a complete disaster. Whereas when they raise the budget on what this military police force gets it doesn't even register it's not even a thing that would be reported on gotta have weird helicopters to fly 24 hours a day over the city to harass people yeah i mean it is helpful because it educates my kids on uh hey look helicopter they they have learned that pretty well. Hey kids, what did you say? Buck 12. All right. Wow.

Good on you. All right. Let's talk about Ford's. Ford is designing our future for us. This is what happens when you let a corporation kind of sit back and design the future. Yeah. The main distributor of the protocols of the elders of Zion.

Look what road this motor company went down. Now, they're about to change. Do people know that? I'm sure we've mentioned it before, but Henry Ford was putting out the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, like one of the most influential anti-Semitic conspiracy theory texts. He was putting it out in people's glove boxes and he put it in american schools right he had he paid for it to be taught in school he created his own newspaper so he could publish it it had been debunked like a hundred times already by

then it's being fake in other newspapers right uh henry ford said who cares yeah he's like nah you gotta you gotta hear this stuff though hitler had henry ford's uh photograph on like on the wall behind his desk like that's literally true i'll say it i'll say it not cars there you go okay fuck them fuck these cars and honestly after this i'm like what the fuck are they trying to do so billboards right who gives a fuck about them unless it's angeline obviously shout out to angeline the billboard goat of los angeles queen the queen the queen the queen angeline but it seems like the billboard industry realizes that people just you know obviously it's such a passive form of advertising that you hardly notice them unless you know someone's like tagged

on it or something or fucked it up in a way that makes it worth looking at so ford is going to make us give a shit because a patent has come out that they are creating a new system that uses like the vehicles cameras that are used for like you know auto fucking pilot or just just general safety stuff that these cameras use to now detect billboards then pull them up in a car's infotainment display so you can have in-vehicle advertisements so like imagine you drive by a arby's thing and then the shit pops up with like a hyperlink so you could either be like navigate to arby's or like call them up or whatever or like here's a fucking coupon or some shit and you will be just basically bombarded right now they're saying it's experimental but knowing how consumer capitalism works this feels like a fucking

certainty and in this gizmodo article they raise an interesting point about the degree to which this will be inescapable because kindles like Amazon Kindles became there's a cheap version because they have all these passive ads running on it constantly. And it's like it's subsidized to add support. And they're saying, so are we looking at a world where like you can get like the ad supported Ford Focus or the premium ad free version of the car? Oh, for sure. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean mean it'll make the car more uh affordable but it'll be yet another subtle way that agency and like uh free free will is is taken away from people who can't afford it in this country i'm just imagining all the billboards it's gonna let you see you're gonna be the ones from they live that are like reproduce right right

marry and reproduce and work at your job and do not ask for health care or child care right obey okay you must obey i yeah and then you're going to start taking shots. Like, you know, there are going to be tweets like, just my Tinder date picked me up in the as supported Sentra. The date was over the second I got in. Right. This whole other have and have nots thing of people. Are we going to be like, again, the other thing is, will it even be cheaper? Or is this going to be a perceived difference that you can just charge a premium now for the ad non the ad free car if yeah no it'll be cheaper for sure yeah it'll be the the difference between the hulu where you pay for the ad free version and the hulu where

you pay for that oh no what i mean to say is that like will it actually be subsidizing where like they'll actually like you know the ad the ad supported version may be cheaper than the ad free version but is it actually functionally cheaper than before we had ad free or ad supported cars oh right right you know what i mean though yeah yeah fuck it we'll just charge the same for the one that's ad and if you're balling you get the ad free version of the torso yeah yeah i bet i bet it will because in the same way that like we didn't realize for a decade that we weren't getting like social media for free we were getting social media in exchange for our own free will like i i think it's just like product if it's free yeah i think it's the easiest it's just like a very insid, easy way for them to insinuate themselves and, you know, basically make life and like, you know, what needs to happen to function every day, like make it affordable.

But then also like, you know, just slowly by slowly take over the minds and, you know, decisions of everyday life. I feel like Joe Biden's way of getting like Medicare for all is like ad supported health care for some Americans. They're like, look, if you get this ad supported health plan, then you got to rock this United Health Care shirt three out of five days a week. Oh, so everything's just going to turn into podcasting where it's like, hey, if you want healthcare, you got to do these ad reads. Right, right, right. But you need to,

it needs to be super organic. You need to actually insert it into everyday conversations. You got to fuck with the healthcare plan. Oh yeah, you got to use your details from your real life and if you don't, they're going to send it back and be like, no, no, no. These are just talking points for how much you love this gas company. I wonder if that's going to be a job in the future, like everyday undercover influencer who like not even on social media,

but is just like going places and like doing psyops in favor of like a product or a political perspective. Jack, I can't believe you're outing me like this on the show. Molly's a psyop. All this time I've been working for, you know, Dole. You're always like, hey, come on, guys. You know, think about United united fruit they suck worse than dole i think couldn't you use a pineapple right now right right yeah i don't again because that does feel i mean we already have you know people will lease the roofs of their cars to put like an

ad board on it right and drive around yeah and, you know, sort of going through the city or like finding ways to subsidize parts of people out there doing shit that, yeah, I feel like pretty soon you'd be like, yeah, you want to, you know, come say something nice about Pacific Gas and Electric for 50% off your electric bill. You just need to like prove it in some way. It'll probably start happening when we have the like contact lens cameras where we can just be like all right here's uh five conversations that i had at the park today just accosting people but they seemed persuaded that's like right and that's how they're going to pervert universal basic incomes like okay you don't have to work but every day you have to go

out there and talk about these products organically and then come back to download all of your footage of your organic conversations. And then we will give you your nutrient credits. Seems too believable. It seems like we're pretty almost there. It's a sloppy version. All right. Just real quick. Wanted to check in with the New York Times coverage of

Gaza. So they had an article with the headline Misinformation let me just read it word for word for y'all. Lies on social media inflame Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Misinformation has flourished on

Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and other social media about the violence between Israelis and Palestinians. So I assumed, all right, I mean, that makes sense that during any conflict, there would be misinformation on both sides. But I assumed there was going to be some way that this was tilted. And sure enough, the lies being told by the Israeli side, according to the article, the lies were that Palestinians were invading Israeli settlements and knocking on doors, presumably to start killing people. The Palestinians were holding fake funerals, like there was a video of a family holding a wrapped body, which they drop when they hear

a police siren. It was not from Palestine. It was from, I think, Jordan, and it had nothing to do with this conflict. There were videos of Palestinians firing rockets at Israel. It was fake. It was from Jordan. Also, videos of Palestinians arranging bodies for a photo shoot to depict it as all of the claims that people are dying are made up that was from a i think a bomb alert drill in turkey so basically making it seem like a palestinians are coming to israel to kill you and b that the damage being reported is part of like a sleight of hand smoke and mirrors uh social media show and they're saying those are lies that Palestinians are telling? No, no, that Israelis are telling to each other that are being spread. Oh, God, these are the most pervasive lies.

These are the lies that are listed as having been shared on Israeli like Facebook and Twitter and. Oh, and showing that they're disconnected from WhatsApp. Got it. and Twitter and showing that they're disconnected from WhatsApp. Got it. Okay. So on the other side, they have Palestinians showing videos of Israelis tearing their clothes and mourning,

which were meant to show them faking injuries. But like, it's kind of unclear what even the point of that is. And then reports that Israel was launching a ground invasion before that was confirmed. So like that tweet. Yeah. So that was actually based on a tweet by before that was confirmed. You mean like that tweet? Yeah.

So that was actually based on a tweet by the fucking IDF. So not sure exactly if that's exactly unfair on their part or just them using the information being given out. So why would the headline be that misinformation is being used by both sides when one side is showing like confused information that is you know maybe true or unconfirmed but like not it's like not weaponized and the other side is inventing like non-existent threats to justify violence against civilians and being basically a catalyst to genocide on one side, like fuck all the way off. Yeah. And so it's also like by doing this because the New York times won't report

the story in any other way other than like a both sidesy type thing. Like, well, you know, there's bad stuff happening on both sides. Then it's like, but you can't believe anything you see on social media, which is the only place that people are actually

like telling the truth about this in America like for the most part so yeah just just worth keeping in mind New York Times man you got a fair imbalance we'll say we'll say every what everybody's saying and treat it like

the truth yeah all over the place yeah that shit is fucking disheartening especially when like the idf tweet like was it because they edited it because i know that it was retweeted out that they went from ground invasion to ground operations right yeah no they they inadvertently tweeted out incorrect information, but it was from IDF. So it's not like like whereas these things that are being spread that are basically like they really if you if you paid attention to like some of the deadly panics that have been caused on Facebook, the videos of Palestinians like, you know, faking deaths and videos of Palestinians invading Israeli settlements and like going door to door to kill people like that

is the sort of shit that gets people killed whereas like getting people killed right yeah exactly and whereas the other side of that is like so diffuse and like not really specific enough to really understand what and then the other one

is just like a a genuine error that a lot of people made because because of like misinformation coming from again the israeli side so you know hey man you know that's just western media it's gonna do its thing yep all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Tom Cruise in space. 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.

So there was a story at the end of last week that Russia is going to try and beat Tom Cruise to space with a movie of its own, filmed on the International Space Station, I believe. And they're going to try and get it done by October, which is also when Tom Cruise was planning to make his movie with Elon Musk and the director of Live, Die, Repeat, aka Edge of Tomorrow, I think is who's making it with him so jm our writer pointed out that there's somebody like tried to make a movie in space before on the international space station and it like sucks uh because you know they just tried to make it by themselves

because it's expensive to get a single person to space let alone like an entire film crew and the person who tried to make a movie has talked about how like you can't move fast enough to like make anything look cool uh or like do anything it's just all slow and deliberate actions and that it just like doesn't make any sense i mean have they seen gravity like gravity looked fucking cool they they didn't have to go to space like we've conquered the this is what it would look like if you were actually in space we don't actually need you to be

slowly moving through actual space in a way that makes your movie more boring yeah seems like green screens can do all the stuff now we don't have to go to the sea man we can put the green screen up and we can be anywhere, man. Yeah.

We can be anywhere. It was wild when like they killed all those actors to film Aquaman underwater. Yeah. Just terrible stunt. You know, James Cameron almost killed a lot of people filming the abyss. Right. And none of those people ever. Yeah.

Because they filmed it underwater for real. And James Cameron is like obsessed with almost killing actors underwater yeah yeah that was the stories about the abyss are so fucked up like because it was like the the stuff that leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet like talk about on the titanic was like him after he had like figured out how far you can push the line but the abyss like legitimately he almost killed people like stars uh because they were like underwater and yeah because they were legitimately underwater and filming underwater in like enclosed spaces yeah what could go wrong my man the the amateur like underwater man who's like because didn't

he have to develop he like developed technology even's like because didn't he have to develop he like develop technology even for that film didn't he like because he's so like hell bent on this stuff it's like whether it's titanic or this other thing is like yeah i'll figure it out though the other reason i don't i don't trust this is because it's not james cameron like if it was james cameron doing this i'd be like oh he's probably figured something out and it's gonna we're all gonna be like skeptical and thick is gonna look like shit and then it's gonna be cool but he just like he'll

kill somebody in space because that's his right he needs right he's yeah he's probably on some level he's just like your body just floating out there like a ragdoll anyways so I wanted to put all this into context like if it were anyone else like kind of pushing for this movie to be made,

I would be confused. So it's Tom Cruise. And Tom Cruise has a history of basically setting up really expensive shoots in order to let him do something that he clearly just wants to do because it makes him feel alive. He wants to die making a movie because he's the ultimate performer. Yeah, yeah.

If he's going to die, it's going to be doing a stunt, and I'm shocked he hasn't gotten more hurt doing stunts for Mission Impossible because he's always like, I must do this motorcycle jump over the Grand Canyon myself. At least Jackie Chan will get injured. Right. You know what I mean? That guy was like, I don't know. Is Tom Cruise

cursed? That's how he's trying to end his life? No, I think he's just like, he's insane. He's got to get stronger and more powerful until he dies. Jackie Chan, I think, is like, it's a movie. I got to go home at the end. Jackie Chan is like, I'm actually legitimately the only person who can do the thing.

So I have to do these things. And I keep getting hurt. But Jackie Chan is a human magic trick. Like somebody, I read an interview with him that's a thetan that's a great question when you get the thetans and you cast them off how many times do we have to go over this superhuman activity i'm ot3 man and i can't even do a back flip but i want to i want to tell this anecdote that i learned when writing about the most expensive shots in movie history.

For a long time, the most expensive shot in movie history was the scene in Vanilla Sky where Tom Cruise sprints through an empty Times Square. And you might have assumed that that was done with green screen.

No, they had to literally block off traffic and empty Times Square to get that shot. And if you remember that movie, which you might not because it's a very forgettable movie. I do remember it in great detail. Do you love Vanilla Sky? I mean, I respect its insanity. And also when the pandemic first hit and I was sometimes watching a live cam of emptied out Times Square. That was my first thought, obviously. It was like, oh, you could film Vanilla Sky right now.

Well, this is going to start a bunch of conspiracy theories because, you know, now I'm suspicious that Tom Cruise started the pandemic in order to empty Times Square because he has always dreamed. So that whole shot where Tom's like Tom Cruise loves to sprint through a city and he loves sprinting, just love sprinting on camera. And so in the movie, it's like the very beginning of the movie. He wakes up, gets out of bed, drags a comb across his head and, you know drives out and then finds that time square is empty gets out of his car and starts sprinting around uh because he's tom cruise and his he's just a fucking dalmatian that got off the leash and then he wakes up and it's a fucking dream sequence it none of that happened it doesn't make it it doesn't add at all to the movie and it was the most expensive shot in film history up to that point and i like guaranteed that was all that was tom cruise's idea

the people who were like extras who were like blocking off traffic and all like who worked on the set uh all said that like he he was basically running the shoot that day he was like getting people pumped up because i had to come in at like three in the morning he was like we're gonna do this it's gonna be amazing like learned all their names and did all the tom cruisey shit right but like this is this is just that like it's not gonna look better it's not gonna add to the movie but it is going to allow an entire fucking company's worth of human capital to work together to get Tom Cruise to space so he can

like flip around and do cool shit basically I hope it goes so wrong for him I mean I you know not like for the crew I just more in the sense that like they see it and they're like fuck this looks like shit like this is so bad he's like doing some insane thing and they forgot to turn the camera on

right like the the footage is all corrupted upon re-entry he seems like pretty laid back when you get on a movie set with him oh yeah on those behind the scenes videos yeah especially when he's screaming at people for not wearing masks assholes even though i have the one that has like an exhaust valve on it that functionally doesn't functionally is just a germ spreader yeah the whole industry is looking at us you assholes doesn't know how to swear is there is there like a real date for when this is going? It's happening. It's a race now. It's a race. It's a space race.

Yeah. Who's the other party in this race? Vladimir Putin. Oh my god. And also the Fast and the Furious movies are making a space one. Though not maybe in space. Wait, are you for real? No.

Yeah, dude. That's a lie. No, it's not a lie. Are you fucking with me? I'm not fucking with you. They always said the next one was going to be space. And they've been saying it. They're getting closer, right? Because I saw there's like a rocket car in this last one. Where else could you go? Well, no, this last one, this next one has

them in space. It does. It recreates that guy who skydived from outer space for Red Bull or whatever. Felix Baumgartner or whatever. They do that in a car. And I'm hoping that that's like as far as they follow that path of like, we, we need to do this. I mean,

really though, if they were smart, they got to just take it to like, like we've done, we just give us like the other cultures versions, know fast and furious yeah like you can still keep a car but like let's do it about how they get down like in the middle east all that stunt driving and shit like the mia video all right and finally uh i just want to talk about how cats actually suck at killing rats um that all right so this is just a thing that i had heard

about like the the story comes up every once in a while that a city has a rat problem they release a thousand feral cats and like you're just like well that'll that'll take care of that so it turns out first of all it's bullshit but it's not for the reason that you suspect it's not that like cats are lazy and like don't actually kill rats like a single cat being an outside cat in your neighborhood is like an ecological disaster they will kill fucking everything the thing that they're not good at is basically killing a population of rats in a given location because those rats will just move elsewhere. Yeah, they just get the fuck out of there. They have like a great sense of smell and they have evolved so that if there is a cat present, they are going to move to the house down the street where there isn't a cat present.

They are going to move to Paris and become famous chefs. Exactly. Thank chefs. Exactly. Thank you. Yeah. So it's just... Wait, is the ratatouille rats, they're immigrants? They were getting away from some cats. Okay, I was making sure. I'm just guessing. Well, wasn't Fievel?

Fievel was. I mean, that motherfucker went west. You know what I mean? So we know about that already. And there are no cats in america there are no cats in america oh shit okay this man we knew this shit already then from these cartoons yeah you were trying to tell us but yeah i mean they so they did a study on like there there's all this detail about the study that they did where they were tracking rats in a abandoned factory like just this massive rat colony had moved in and uh and then a feral cat colony moved in as well and they were like this is gonna fuck up our

rat following experiment but then realized oh we've never actually seen feral cats hunt and the feral cats only killed like two rats cats you can't get cats to do stuff right they're on their own vibe exactly like anyone who's ever tried to have a cat in a movie will tell you that like cats do not take direction you can't be like we'll give you this if you do this they don't care they just are like they value their uh self-sufficiency the most right yeah every cat you've ever seen in a movie is actually 20 different cats for sure yeah yeah stitched together right well so they so they don't kill the rats so is that just to say that they're they just weren't interested or that they're no i think the rats are just good the rat and they're

like oh fuck we're out of here we're off this yeah i And they're like, oh, fuck, we're out of here. We're off this. They're like, oh, you want me to do this thing? I'm going to just sit here and lick myself instead. Right. And is it that we just have this cartoon perception of a cat, which is like, yo, they'll eat the fuck out of a rat. Well, rats are also really smart. So you put a cat in a neighborhood,

and they're going to eat the shit out of some birds some rabbits uh some mice but rats are actually like rats are gonna inherit the earth from us like oh yeah yeah they're impossible to kill they're super smart and and they deserve it absolutely they're cute yeah we suck absolutely so they're just gonna kill everybody man that's just you're just gonna kill everyone except the rats that you want them to because they are not a tool that you can use cats so now why are we investing more on feral rat culture and rat technology clearly they're like we should just embrace that yeah you know what i mean like just fucking we need to master the rat. Well, you better start talking to five. Well then.

Yeah. I think five was a mouse. Five. Well, is a mouse. Uh, and mice are stupid. Hence the song.

There are no cats in America. Wait, miles. Where's Bible? Where'd Bible go? That's, you know, throw your dubs in the air.
