I had to promise Miles I had to pay him under the table to do my AKA for me because I feel like not only have we never topped that, I'm at the point where actually thinking of a better one or any of them depresses me so much. Yeah, that I'm just like, Miles, you got to do it for me. Thank you so much. Anytime. Thank you for I mean, look, it was that or the TI-80 calculator. We both decided that was just too yeah that was for

a long time when you googled me um it was people various other people named andrew and their ti85 like programs for bootleg i've only i've only just you know finally just eclipsed, I don't know, random high school teens from 1994. Right. It's like on Google. So good for me. Shout out to that calculator. What an accomplishment. What were y'all playing on there?

Was it Mob Wars or Drug Wars? Mob Wars. Yeah, Drug Wars. A lot of the like, how much do you want to buy cocaine for? Yeah, right. Like three bucks, dad. Just,

just great storytelling though, is the thing. Yeah. I want to, I want to read a, you know, they did that sit down with Schwarzwalder from the Simpsons. What we need is a sit down with the creator of mafia wars or mob wars,

drug wars on the Texas instrument, 82 calculator to know like what that labor was to even try and think of it. I mean, not that it was a good game, but the motherfucker had a lot of time. Yeah, it was more good than it needed to be. Right. By a lot. That counts for so much.

Yeah. It's just like, given the platform, that shit bent and broke what the platform was capable of and to our our younger listeners uh that was that was the first nintendo switch uh was a game on a hacked texas instrument 80 or 82 calculator yeah i bet there is an oral a good oral history there to be written of like ti8282 games? Yeah. Like figuring out... We gotta stop throwing out

free good ideas. I know. For real. Think piece it. This is Think Piece Corner. Whichever, whoever,

whoever of the zeitgangs out here, get in your think piece first. Right. Get in your think piece. Yeah.

No, get it in. Turn it in. Sorry. Get it in. Get it in to think piece first. Right. Get in your think piece. Yeah. No, get it in. Turn it in. Sorry. Get it in. Get it in to Jack and Miles ASAP. Oh, I was just going to be like, get in your think piece bag, y'all. Get in. And come with it.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Andrew, what's new? What's new with you, man? Not much. I haven't seen you guys since we watched uh the goofy movie like probably close to a year ago whoa holy shit what the hell so that's that's about it i was i was lucky to be basically

after that like working fairly fairly regularly on on tv that's awesome. And so no one caught COVID on any of the jobs at any of the jobs I worked on. Right. So that's good. Yeah. You know, people caught COVID, but no one caught, no one gave it to anyone else on set.

Yeah. Not that it had anything to do with it, but yeah. I heard you won't have that shit. You won't have anybody I'm not having it. Not having it. Getting or having COVID in your presence.

You'll shut that shit down real quick. Well, then you better get off of it. But yeah, I don't know. I fucking started going to therapy late last year. That was interesting. I wrote about it a little bit for Esquire magazine. Yeah, recently, right? I don't know. I'm mentioning this because you uh and i guess this is their business model yeah but you you i don't think can find it online so i don't know you know i guess i'm saying go down to your

newsstand or so you're one of these print exclusive type people now i i have no idea that i that has not been fully communicated to me i I assume it will be online eventually. I can't imagine people have a pretty exclusive. I certainly didn't ask or negotiate. I would prefer it was online. Sure. I don't know. What was that like, though, for you?

I mean, I had to very much take my mental health by the horns this year yeah uh to be able to fucking endure everything and just you know give myself some form of like respite from it all respite if you will but yeah like what did you kind of did you reach that point you're like okay okay i'm gonna start doing this now or yeah uh yeah yeah yeah i mean i think i mean, I think, I mean, the big thing is, uh, I, not the big thing as in it was, like, such a big, like, I just, like, I mostly got, like, dumped around, like, June, but not, not a long relationship, but it kind of, like, was impossible to move on, I think, was the main thing, because I was keeping it pretty, uh, buttoned up in COVID, and just, okay that and then at the risk of being a bit of a shill i was i was actually looking to to get into therapy but uh i don't know if you guys encountered this or heard this it was like impossible to find a therapist in la in like december like just literally people are like yeah sorry no patience no patience no patience and so i was like kind of losing hope there and then uh better help started

sponsoring uh my podcast yo this is racist check it out on everywhere you get uh pockets and i was here you said that's a better help true true no but just like a lucky coincidence that like we got to i got to do some free therapy teletherapy through them and i've kept it up beautiful so this is not spawn con because it was it's true. It is what happened, but it was very lucky. But the reads are so devoid of any personal details. Hey, y'all, if you're checking it out, you know I'm in a

wacky year. BetterHelp has sponsored our show before, so we won't have to remove this. Exile this part of the conversation completely. No, it's just weird. That was a thing.

I don't know. I think this just needs to be more normal, man. I tell my friends, the other day I saw one of my friends who I hadn't seen in a minute and he was like, yeah, it's kind of going through. I'm like, have you thought about going to therapy, bro? Just trust. That's good, man.

You're going to feel good. And I was surprised a couple other people hit me up off the strength of me talking about it all the time. Like, hey, do you ever, you know, like you have a therapist you can hook me up with? So I think it's great because yeah, like it's one of those things you'll never, if you have a good therapist, you're not going to come out the other side. I'm like, oh my God, I'm worse. Here's a real question how do you know if you're because i'm obviously new to this but i feel like if you have a good

therapist it's the same way people are like how's your dentist and i'm like i have no basis for comparison i literally have no idea yeah i don't know right should i know for me it's more about like the level it's really about how much i trust them and how much you know because half of it is being able to first overcome however you're trying to present yourself to a therapist and a letting that melt away because you're like no the work is going to be me just be giving y'all the raw uncut me and my shattered self please help me. I'm still trying to get laughs from my... I'm still trying to crush with my therapist.

So that's not like a good sign. I have the worst habit. How was therapy today? It was awesome. I destroyed it. Oh, dude. She was laughing so hard. She turned the camera off because she didn't want to be unprofessional because she was

laughing so hard. But no, truly, that is what i do but actually and then the other thing that it is in the uh the esquire piece is like a part of me also was hanging on to not going to therapy both because i was like thinking i was better than it but also because i was like it taking the toxic uh idea that like asian people don't go to therapy and using it as sort of a point of pride. You know, I question I question how Asian I am sometimes. So one thing I definitely a very Asian on don't go to therapy,

despite how much I need it. Right. No one will see me struggle. Yeah, truly. I was like, it was very perverse. But that I have to think that was genuinely in my head. That's how I was living. Take care of it, y'all. But to the point of whether you have a good therapist, I've definitely heard people say,

yeah, I tried therapy. It doesn't help. It's that therapist, that specific therapist as a match for you. it's that therapist that that specific therapist as a match for you like that it feels like it's like one of the most personal and like idiosyncratic things that you can possibly do is like find a find the right therapist match but you when you say therapy doesn't help it's just that therapy didn't help the only people who are impervious to therapy are Irish people, according to The Departed, which is why I don't go to therapy because of that one line in The Departed. That's what I tell myself. Hey, if it's in the Scorsese flick, it's law, baby. Impervious psychoanalysis.

But seriously, get out there. Take your mental health by the shortened curlies speaking of actually the departed though real quick is there a similar i don't do therapy in uh infernal affairs miles have you seen infernal affairs i'm trying to think i'm just wondering if that toxic anyway infernal affairs is the is the uh in my opinion superior original movie that yeah the departed is based on i don't know anyone who's seen both and said the departed is better uh i i have actually and it was an eight it was an asian person but he grew up in boston and right yeah that was like when i saw rui hachimura dunk

on anthony davis i didn't know what to do i was like what is this feeling but that's my but all day really all day um anyway sorry i feel like i'm filibustering the beginning of the show the show is one big filibuster yeah that's why i'm here i suppose. But nice to see you guys. Yeah, it's great to see you too. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about. There's such thing, or there used to be such thing as Canadian Proud Boys. They have disbanded. We'll talk about how that happened.

We'll talk about Facebook next couple days, making the decision about whether to allow Trump back in. We'll talk about facebook next couple days making the decision uh about whether to allow trump back in uh we'll talk about herd immunity we'll talk about plenty of shit uh but before we get to any of that uh andrew we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are okay i looked it up to make sure this was a verbatim i might have been a little stoned it is the words why chihuahua mean and another thing that happened to me is over over the pandemic in i think october of last year i inherited uh two chihuahuas my friend's relative passed away and it turned out she was allergic to uh dogs so i was like i'll i'll take care of them and then i was like all

right i'll just simply own them um but uh the littlest youngest younger they're both old chihuahuas um is like comically mean sometimes um and i didn't realize it was just like it was a thing it's just like like people it's like uh they they they just look very mean when they're playing at times but wait so no answer does she follow it up wait uh the little dog does she does she back it up with like oh yeah it's like little little play nips right yeah yeah but why mean it just she looks furious she looks what she looks most like um the alien chestburster oh fuck it's just like he's got a snaggle tooth and shit yeah just real like real real uh real mean mean as a motherfucker so and that was how i chose to process it is why chihuahua means

why chihuahua mean to answer you oh i mean to andrew ti83 please please help anyway taking a small dog to the dog park and especially one that is not separated between little dogs and big dogs. Like I have a fully new appreciation for just how, like imagine if humans, like some people were just literally a hundred times bigger and like, you just like went and like, they would just come and like push you over and shit. And you, there wasn't anything you could do about it.

And that was, that was gym class. Right. And it was like a very status-based society i feel like dogs are very status-based so i would be mean as fuck if i was like yeah yeah i guess that's why that's why everyone should own a gun i don't know where am i going so you don't get another thing that's been uh that's changed about you in the last year yeah you've been opening for Bagel Boss Guy too

is he? a lot of shit's changed what is I was going to ask how Bagel Boss Guy is but I realized I don't want to follow that road so let's ask Andrew what is something you think is overrated? I don't want to follow that road. So let's ask Andrew,

what is something you think is overrated? This goes, I guess I maybe sold this a little bit, but the other thing, and I actually will just say, I didn't come into this episode thinking I need to plug this Esquire thing because again, literally, you cannot read it right now.

So I don't know what I'm doing, but I guess it's clearly on my mind. But one of the other parts of that article is one thing that has helped me a lot is not needing to be correct all the time because my sort of what i told myself reason for not going to therapy is like it doesn't you know i i think part of it is i studied neuroscience in college and so that was a very like you know, biology based look at psychology and very, very thoroughly and early and constantly. It was just like, well, obviously, like Sigmund Freud, a kind of sexist lunatic who just made a bunch of shit up, you know, and using that to sort of cast aspersions on psychotherapy in general, or just like the idea of talking to someone. And so I think like holding on to that and just in

general, like needing to be correct for, for, I, I, you know, just want to throw this out there. I, you know, you boys strike me. I think all of us have that similar, like smart guy personality and. Oh yeah used i get mistaken for taj maury all the time in the street i'm just saying like it's that like being used to being correct i think is uh fucking overrated fuck that shit man that's what it's precisely that's the kind of shit you learn about yourself when you go to therapy too. Or like even how to recontextualize shit. Because I, I'm like,

I get very into shit and I start researching everything. Cause I'm like one of these people who likes to know as much as I can about something. Yeah. And that like lends itself to this other part. I think at the, at the end of the day, more than like being right is like having to relook at how you interact with

things. It's like, I want to learn about every single thing. Yeah. Yeah. What's good. What do you want to talk about? What do I know yeah like i can speak on that it's like it's too it's it's a subtle thing but i've just been trying to treat the world like what can i learn from shit or like if i don't know something like yo teach me that actually helps in my relationship too because there's shit rather than being like oh well

that's the thing you do i don't know how to do it blah blah i'm like teach me i would like to know and that already is communication just get get a uh i got i got the shit i can't remember what model it is but one of those like fancy new vacuums that's very very uh like fancier than a dyson no it was a dyson yeah okay and i was like oh damn i should i should just be cleaning up some dysons and some better help in this episode yo we're cleaning up mentally and physically i didn't mean to be yeah but it was it that it was just like yeah there's so many so much learned helplessness that i probably have that is like what is wrong with me anyway we'll find out i'll keep you posted on what is wrong yeah man come back so what's wrong with you man you figure that uh what is something you think is underrated i think

that is underrated this is i'm just gonna say what i wrote down but as i'm about to say it and looking at it on my computer screen this is probably very correctly rated but i think that i very i very much liked is a couple weeks ago i I was at Costco, and I bought from Costco for approximately $100 an entire leg of jamón de serrano. Comes with a stand, comes with a knife. In a crate. Yeah, yeah. It's got a crate with a handle. Yep. And was sort of loosely running kind of like a, we'll call it quasi to illegal tapas bar for some vaccinated folks.

Oh, really? Oh, Andrew, you didn't even bite me. You should come by, honestly. I'm more mad about that. I'm like coughing everywhere. Cut me off some of that jamon real quick. But yeah, I got pretty get some of that jamon real quick uh but yeah i got i got pretty good it's slicing the slice of the jamon you know a lot of olives a lot of just

uh pan con tomate you know spanish olives with the anchovies inside i uh yes i will not look baby invite me over we could complete the whole party, baby. I come with the Spanish goods. Well, no, I got that at that Black-owned cheese shop in Silver Lake. And I was definitely upsold on them because I think they were unconscionably expensive. Oh, really? Yeah, it was a very expensive jar of olives. I got to look. I got to plug for those

olives too yeah yeah yeah if you got a guy that's gonna help you i got a guy it's a it's actually a spaniard friend of mine but but that's how i found out about that costco deal because my mom had one like years ago at her house i said what the fuck are you doing fool like the doctor said you have high blood you can't be eating a whole leg of salt meat. Bring that over here. Yeah. And I was like, man,

give me, let me cut a little slice off of there. But yeah, I, but then I realized they have this deal there that is just ridiculous. It almost seems like a challenge of like, can you eat this entire pig's leg? Yeah. Yeah.

I just Googled Jamal Serrano and the best price you're getting anywhere on the Internet is three hundred dollars. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, wow. I don't know what kind of scale or kickback Costco has going with Spain. It is like all these like fucking. A buffet is huge in Spain, man. Yeah.

Stickers on it. And, you know, I don't understand how it works, but it appears to be a, you know, a stamped and bonded Jamal DeSerrano. So I don't know what the quality variation is in that to get that price

down to what it is. It comes with a knife. Yeah, right. It's not like untaxed cigarettes that the mob sells i don't know what it i don't know yeah as far as these have been paid yeah i hope was this just like a temporary thing where they're like we just the this shipment was like i don't think it's a year round is it i feel like it's a certain time of year that it this was this was around easter so i assume oh right that's when that's when the it's jamon time it's jamon time okay stop yeah i'm on time

uh yeah well look i love a i love a good uh jamon serrano so i don't know if this is yeah so is that underrated or anyway it's fucking the best i thought you were gonna say i was at costco and i was like when you ate that whole rotisserie chicken that you were talking about on the internet no i just i just ate the legs off that rotisserie chicken yeah that's the other thing i've been doing is i've been trying to help out with this uh mutual aid group that does stuff in skid row and one thing that uh one thing that i was doing that week was picking up water for for skid row but because i was at costco i was like so i got a pallet of nine flats of water

and one rotisserie chicken and nothing else i truly i'm curious what the employees at costco think i'm up to because i mean jamon and the uh yeah the rotisserie chicken will make you thirsty what's your secret a lot of water iberian ham and uh fucking rotisserie chicken but that that costco chicken that is not underrated because people love that shit people know it's so good anybody work at costco they can let us in on like is there is there a tiktok video yet where someone shows you how they make that shit i don't they they have a lot of stickers on it about how it is not full of hormones for something that is clearly has to be full of hormones like it's actually less unnerving to imagine it's full of hormones than imagining then it not yeah because it's too big it's fucked up chicken

should not be that size yeah so i don't know but oh god it's so good yeah and just like you know doing that thing where you're like i'll just you know i'm just gonna it smells so good in the car i'm just gonna pick a little bit off and then like two minutes later i'm like driving with my wrists trying to get home because my hands are so greasy. Like a little kid in another car is like, Mom, that man's eating a football. Yeah. It's just a middle torso.

I really went buck wild on that Costco chicken. It is the best. It is. It's so good. It's so good. The salt, that's the answer to the most question. It's seasoned. It's just so seasoned.

You don't have a dull bite. It'll preserve your mouth, though. Yeah. Oh, so good. Anyway. They're so good at deals. My salt from Costco. Five-dollar chicken.

There was just a story that was almost definitely seeded by Costco, but someone who's high up in the organization threatened to kill someone else if they raised the prices on the hot dog. Yeah. I think that was the CEO. If you raise the hot dog prices, I'll kill you. Figure it out. Steve Jobs?

Yeah, exactly. Make it work, but for that hot dog. But for the hot dog. Keep the price and make it work. I'll find somebody that can make it work. Yeah. That's me. Shout out to Costco. hot dog. But for the hot dog, keep the price and make it work. I'll find somebody that can make it work. Yeah, anyway, that's me. Alright, so shout out to Costco,

Better Help, and Dyson Vacuum. Dyson, yeah. And this Mean Dogs. Are they chilling together? Oh, yeah. You can see them. I'll make sure the photo I send for this episode includes a chihuahua. Oh, good, good, good.

We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z.

We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your Senora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio.

new podcast senora sex ed listen to senora sex ed on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast 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 print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. 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. And we're back. And it's Canada Day here on Daily Zyka. We got a couple Canada stories on the dock. One of them, their Proud Boys aren't faring too well, apparently.

They got too inspired by their shitty southern neighbors and tried to do their own ethno-nationalist group. And I think to everyone except ethno-nationalists, people are like, yeah, the Proud Boys are a violent, racist, hate group, not some frat with cool ideas about Western civilization or whatever the fuck they want to call it. So that basically led to a terrorist group designation by the Canadian government, which like over here, we're like, yeah, OK, well, we still have people that are basically in cahoots with them in the government. So we'll see if there's any kind of anything like that happens here and the january 6th participation of the proud boys i think pretty much like helped seal the deal for canadian people like yeah this is a this is a terrorist organization but because of that that means the police can seize their property uh banks

can seize their assets it's like a crime to knowingly provide assistance to a group so like yeah it's it's you don't want to be there. And apparently the Canadian Proud Boys of Canada or whatever they call themselves, they were contemplating fighting this designation like in the courts, but they were like, we don't have money. So they put out this Facebook statement or whatever this statement was.

And it's very polite. I just want to read statement from Proud Boys Canada. It is with a heavy heart that I pen these words, knowing we have done nothing wrong. As of today, there is officially no longer any Proud Boys in Canada. Hey, it's officially dissolved. The truth is you never were terrorists, blah, blah, blah. It goes on to say a bunch of lies. goes on to say you know it's funny that they they have like this patriotic talk to like it like it's sort of infused in how they sort of speak about themselves um but at the end of the day they're just like yeah like it's not fair like we're just normal people all this means is they're just going to use a different name now right right right right cool but that's really it was interesting to see just a statement out there really trying to convince people, we're not bad. Yeah.

I like the thing. They're like, we're not white supremacists or we're not like violent white. I forget specifically how they word it. They're like trying to thread a little needle there. But they also say to characterize themselves, they say, we are electricians, carpenters, financial advisors, mechanics, etc. More than that, we are fathers, brothers, uncles and sons. How can I be a terrorist? Right. That's such classic like white supremacy where you're setting the lowest possible bar for yourself.

Like, look, man, we have relatives. Yeah. Yeah. So we have mothers. We have relatives. Yeah. Yeah. So we have mothers.

Also, it is so telling that it's like the list of like, you know, average Joe. First of all, the list of average Joe jobs somehow includes financial advisors. But also they kind of have, you know, no offense to the good ones out there. But those the list of jobs is all shit that like you very easily could put racist in front of it yeah right we're racist electricians racist carpenters racist financial advisors racist mechanics all that tracks like racist financial advisor is redundant actually there's something about hearing that i'm like i don't know if you need it. It's like racist. Yeah. Do you think in your ears that makes you sound less racist? That is telling on yourself. Proud.

Yes. Yeah. If you think this is mitigating, you are fucking out of your racist little minds. Yeah. Well, they're still saying, hey, guys, keep singing your national anthem with pride. Yeah. But that is sort of like their thing it's just like they're they're based on this like i guess this like well we can

just lie we'll just simply say we're not the thing that we obviously are and the like there's always plausible deniability ish or something right yeah unless like the government's just being like no how about i'll just get ahead of you just say nah you fuck around with this we're just gonna seize everything because this is this is a threat to our national security yeah we know we're repellent but imagine that there are people who love us who are our relatives now that yeah that's keep that in your mind as they know what i do no but right do i hide it from them am i not invited to dinner if one yes they find out yeah yeah also their families are racist too we're fathers yeah yeah we know generational racism it's like no way but it is it is that kind of like like technically i never basically it's i

never said i was racist yeah so how could you call me racist I don't know just because you attack people who have something to say that's countered anything you do or maybe they're I don't know whatever well also this like oh we're just we're just like a booster club for Western civilization it's like okay right

yeah cause yeah what parts specifically well uh kevin oh man i really spent so much time reading those do's and don'ts from vice back in the day i know me too those were it's really funny bums bums me out how much we should have known from the viral video where he was screaming about his weak chin

and why he has to grow a beard you know like that's when he started breaking through to the mainstream was that like thing about like why guys are growing beards cause I got a weak chin and you're like oh shit why is this guy screaming and like his babies in some of his videos

and it's weird you know what actually speaking of these people I just I was reorganizing my record collection and I found a fucking like hand numbered of a thousand

Ariel Pink 7 inch I think it's like genuinely very rare I kept it out and like I just i know a couple people in la who'd like played music with him and like you know i think have largely disavowed him obviously uh ariel pink for i assume you guys talked about it was at the uh he was at the fucking january 6th uh treason storming of the yeah january 6th treason uh and and a former indie indie musician right indie rock yeah i mean i guess current current yeah yeah but it was it was one of those things

i was literally like you know like i had copy 384 out of 1000 and i was like what do i do with this and i ultimately ended up just throwing it away but i probably should have it was one of those things i was like i just need to clean the house it's going in the trash but it's very weird so you don't want the person's money who values that thing yeah that was another thing though i i like cleaned out my bookshelf of like there was also that whole like generation of like white iowa writing workshop people from like the early 2000s and so many of them have kind of turned like right wing what's that what's that like iowa writers that like um that like david eggers those david eggers copycats oh got you so like the memoirists and they were all like white

the only one the one i'm thinking i maybe i'm i'm speaking out of line when i say there's a lot of them but megan down specifically i i like um she just is one of those like i'm just asking questions that kind of like gen x the way like gen x kind of turned right wing after cancel culture they latch on a cancel culture anyway i had a bunch of her books too this is this is my penance for buying any art by white people. That's right. I just end up having a bunch of shit by racists. So that was a good housecleaning. Well, speaking of racists, Facebook is going to decide if Trump is allowed back on their service. So they have like the sort of unofficial Supreme Court of Facebook that where they like make big decisions about the platform.

And they say that in the next couple of days, I think on May 5th, they're going to announce whether Trump is allowed back. And it's the oversight board, which is totally not, you know, Orwell sounding at all yeah but uh i don't know this like it seems like a pretty easy decision like that you know we've seen what him being banned from most major social media platforms has done for the country but they i i just don't trust facebook to not fuck this up because. Oh, my God. They never make decisions based on like I was looking back at the statement they made when they initially banned him. And it was literally like, OK, he's like trying to overthrow the government.

It was like right after the January 6th treason. And they were just like, yeah, this is like until he's out of office, we're going to have him banned. But it was after Twitter banned him. It was like literally they've never made a decision that didn't ultimately result in a more profitable outcome for them, including banning a president who is actively trying to dissolve the society that your entire like wealth is based on so yeah that's that's not good for business for like society to dissolve and then zuckerberg just always tends to go for like a quote freedom of information and transparency quote allowing people to connect which yeah of course always dovetails with the profit motive of growth yeah just so happens and yet you know they're they're

not letting child pornography be free on there they're not letting people's like conspiracies to murder other people they are letting some of those stay on there i suppose but like yeah but like it's like trying well but it's like they are they're not the like free speech like they limit speech so if you're limiting any speech like then you're actively choosing where that line is there's there's no like oh yeah and then you can't wait well freedom of information like what yeah they're not transparency of information except when that information comes for uh has to do with them and what they're doing with your information. Oh, my bad.

Wait. Oh, you want us to be transparent? Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. That was for you. Yeah. No, we're not showing you how we decide these make these decisions on the Overseer's Council or whatever the fuck. Yeah. It is. Go ahead. a week to decide these uh make these decisions on the overseer's council or whatever the fuck that yeah and i was just go ahead oh it was just it's it is just like like horrible the way that the the whatever like set of rules like silicon valley writ large uses to determine what's like

appropriate and what speech is like you know both like inconsistent racist like obviously all the decision makers that put that shit together are white men uh you know at the very top of the shit and it's like it shows it's like and the fact that they can hold on to any veneer of objectivity is like yeah that's the part that's like fucking like people we the people are too stupid to realize this is not objective this is biased as fuck right but they get to pretend sorry yeah thanks for at least letting me get up on my soapbox no that's i mean i i also like just based on his like the the way that he responded to the 2018 election where ted cruz at all started like accusing Facebook of having an anti-conservative bias. And he totally just like played into their hands.

I get the sense that he's probably friends with more Republicans than Democrats at this point as a billionaire. Yeah. You know, would probably is pretty easy to trick there's also the probably the specific sweet spot and we're talking a little bit about this before we started recording is there's also like the silicon valley person who calls himself a liberal but right right yeah that probably is like the that's true i i would posit it certainly makes up the balance of like where all these conservative ideas are coming from yeah there's a lot of people who are just collecting all the takes of a liberal and putting that in their outward facing persona absolutely just to

be like because i know how to keep have a smoke-free identity just yeah do these like lib boilerplate talking points uh but what i do you know in the shadows has nothing to do with that that's just i just know how to publicly face things while i do my other shit or not even the shadows it's just like yeah you you you would like to legalize weed and like have sex with people but other than that you're pretty conservative you know like you're like your white supremacy shows in ways that are yeah insidious i guess i don't know it's right it's bad all right let's talk about herd immunity because speaking of it's bad we talked to a few weeks back about how we were like you know it was at peak everyone's getting their vaccines. We have enough vaccines. They're getting into people's arms.

And now things have slowed. Yeah. I mean, and like that, the concept of herd immunity was like the light at the end of the tunnel in the beginning of the lockdown. It's like, obviously, like we're going to eliminate this virus through herd immunity. And once we have the vaccines, this is how we will go back to normal but things have just changed so rapidly that it doesn't even like so in the beginning the threshold for herd immunity was estimated to be 60 to 70 percent that was even like fauci saying that and like you know what yeah that seems doable once we get all the vaccines out there and things like that but as the vaccines are being like developed and things like that that the the estimations began to change because the first estimations were based on the first

sort of original form of the virus and what we knew about it and what those transmission rates look like. But now that B.1.1.7 is the like predominant variant in the United States, that's and it's more transmissible. That's now moved our herd immunity threshold to be at least 80%. So 80% of the country needs to be vaccinated for us to have any semblance of herd immunity. And if you look at the latest numbers, you're looking at about a third of Americans that are anti-vax right now when

it comes to the COVID vaccine. So how you get to, do you get to 80 if you got at least 30% saying, fuck, no? They think some of that will change over time, but it's because of that and all of the misinformation, we're looking at a very difficult way of trying to tackle this, which now just seems like inoculating the most at risk so we're not like flooding the hospitals with those people yeah but it's definitely not going to be herd immunity you're saying that they're expecting the third of america being anti-vaxxers to change or they're expecting that 80 needing to be vaccinated. That third isn't necessarily nailed on. Like it could shrink a bit as more people realize like, okay, like, fuck it, I'll get it.

But it's hard because there's also another poll that came out that a lot of the attitudes of people who don't want to be vaccinated is because A, they don't take the virus seriously. But also B, they are like, like well all the other herbs are getting vaccinated so i'm good i'll just coast off of them getting vaccinated but assholes guess what if we're not at the herd immunity like there's there's no there's no uh people to draft off of uh in your pursuit of not getting vaccinated because we're not gonna that's not gonna be the way we're gonna be safe so the it's actually at this point people need need to be vaccinated. Even that argument, because a lot of anti-vaxxers when it even comes to child vaccines are like, well, through the herd immunity, I know my child isn't going to get these illnesses because of herd

immunity. That logic doesn't apply if we can't achieve any kind of herd immunity here anyway. So it's a bit of a, a bit of a weird fucking feedback loop that we're in um while you know we're we got you know we're clearly seeing the vaccination numbers starting to like fall off a cliff a bit well and then beyond that it's like by hoarding the vaccines in america which now i would guess now some of those are just going uh vaccines and vaccine patents it's like yeah i guess the other thing that's gonna definitely guarantee this is uh even if you're a complete sociopath who doesn't care about other people you can still think of india as just a vaccine population that or sorry a covid like variant generator. Yeah.

This year, number of people. Yeah. The mutations are inevitable. It's just numbers. Yeah. So I guess we just live with this forever or die with it forever. They're all just saying what we can hope for, according to these experts, is if we can get the vaccinations up that coronavirus is just going to become something that's seasonal that affects mostly the young and healthy but like that's about it otherwise it's either going to be you die off because unfortunately you were vaccinated or

whatever whatever reason right i don't know so it's it's not a ultimately though all the experts are saying we still have to get vaccinated just because we can't reach herd immunity doesn't mean that vaccinations Are moot at this point You absolutely need to ensure Your own health through Vaccination and don't think That these other ways that you can get around it Are actually valid because if you don't have enough

People vaccinated And being one less vector Right that's the real thing Are there marketing campaigns Because I know they're like yeah one and being one less vector right that's the real thing like are there might be fine marketing campaigns because i know i they're like conspicuously marketing campaigns aimed at like black people and you know elderly people are there republicans we talked about the gop doctors right but that is that really all we're dealing with is that one like shitty viral video that i've for them yeah seems like it i mean there have been a lot of i've been reading a lot of there

have been pastors um who like in the south like bible bell area who are trying to get their congregants to get vaccinated there are people trying to but i don't know i think only yeah the thing that they talk about in this times piece, though, is that at the very least, people need to be it seems like the way people their attitudes change if they're around others who aren't talking anti-vax bullshit have gotten the vaccine or like, yeah, what's wrong? Like, it's fine. It's normal. It's normal. It's normal. Versus if you're in an environment where it's a hot take to bring up the vaccine or whatever it like the the chance of you getting it like just exponentially go down so that's the one hope is to like talk to your friends about yeah it's the it's the peer group yeah right that like yeah and yeah i was um i mean this isn't like white conservatives but like like when i got my vaccines and i volunteered at a vaccine distribution i knew this but i kind of hadn't really processed that like so many in southern california but kind of a certain generation so many nurses are filipino

and but they also are like very catholic and very conservative so it was truly just like i wasn't i was trying to get a gauge from some filipino friends like are your super conservative parents getting this shit and it was like definitely some people's parents weren't and i was like right that's an odd odd juxtaposition of populations to me yeah and i think that's what also makes just this the herd immunity so difficult because of just the geography of the united states and just how different neighborhood to neighborhood can be because when things like sanitation and income can determine what levels of hurt like who needs to be or like what levels need to be vaccinated

that shit can change within like a mile so it's not it's even harder to think like it's this one blanket sort of prescription although really the prescription is just to get your ass vaccinated. Yeah. I mean, the Pope told Catholics to get the vaccination. That one should be easy. And the Pope also sometimes tells them that the death penalty is wrong and that hasn't changed american catholics very much yeah so yeah he's probably not talking to god on that one yeah yeah which is so funny though because like when you're around like catholics really

fuck with the pope like if you joke about that shit they're not having it no so but i'm like well hold on man you can have that energy because i made a pope joke but then you're like selectively being like i don't i don't agree with him on that shit about gay people like well hold on right right right i'm sorry what uh all right let's take another 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.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila

caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in

North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and there's a new type of meme a new genre of meme that we're seeing pop up uh that is photographs of small business owners to large business owners uh car i don't know how big uh carl's junior uh the hardy's Empire? The Hardee's, yeah. That's not a locally owned business, right? That fellow Carl Jr. Shame what happened to this kid. Yeah.

But it's signs basically being like, the government's paying our employees too much. They won't work. Nobody wants to work. Thanks a lot, communism. Yeah. Even like someone had a tweet it's like i went burger i went burger king for my diet coke nobody worked there and you're like holy shit

what shut the fuck up i mean it's just a weird moment right now because people are you know it was one thing to just i think because of the pandemic everyone's just caught in the grind of this machine of this game in america where it's like oh you can't afford to live well that's on you bitch like yeah that cruelty became very clear when everything started shutting down and people took a second like wait without certain things like if if you just cut off my income i'm in bad shape uh i can go to dire straits very quickly and i think so we're in this moment now where people are, they're at these breaking points financially. So they're going to do what's in their best self-interest.

Like just some quick maths real quick would be like, why am I going to go to this job where I'm being paid absolutely nothing? Right. When I, I can, I got this stimulus check that is affording me some breathing room at the moment. It's just a really odd. I mean, it's not odd because the employers, the business owners will always be on the advocate on the side of I'm paying them shit. Yeah. What is wrong with these people? And now we're motivated to come. And then they're going to get lazy. They didn't make a decision to stay home. You made the first decision to pay them less than the government is willing to give them in emergency funds. Yeah. It's also like, I thought you believed in the free market, homie. It sounds like demand is low, so you need to increase the value of your product.

Maybe turn it up a little bit. Make it a little more lucrative. I don't know. I don't know. Incentiv the value of your product. Maybe turn it up a little bit. Make it a little more lucrative. I don't know. I don't know. Incentivize working for your company. Do you know how to do that, business owner? Or did you get into this just to exploit poor people? Uh-oh.

Think about it. Don't answer now. Don't answer now. Don't answer now. Think about it. Just think about it. Just think about it. But that's what you're seeing now.

I mean, because the way they talk, like the solutions are like read one of the signs. Yeah. This one. Yeah. This one that blew up on Fox News says we are short staff. This is like when Fox was like, we got to go to the little guy and see what's going on in this cafe. And a very nice, very nice work of arts and crafts. Has a glitter border and really great handwriting. It says, we are short-staffed.

Please be patient with the staff that did show up. No one wants to work anymore. They would rather draw unemployment. Thanks. Staff. I mean, I also don't want to be like telling them what to do. But it is like, just if you saw this like smarmy whitey shit hanging up at a restaurant you were at you'd be like it's like fuck these losers like what are

you talking about i'm like you want me to feel bad for you i'm like what about the person who had to make a decision that this job wasn't wasn't sufficient for themselves yeah how about that because for all this talk of like there was this other this republican he said like with this hardy sign that says we are closed due to no staff it says this is what happens when you extend unemployment benefits for too long and add a 1400 stimulus payment to it right when employers need workers to fully open back up, you can be found. Here's the deal, man. Don't be talking out here with this woe is me shit. Because rather than talking about better wages and benefits or how they can make things work for the workers, apparently, that are so vital to their business.

They're like all on this, like, these nasty workers have abandoned their divine duty to man the deep fryer because welfare it's like that doesn't make you look like i don't there's no sympathy going that way sorry yeah well it's also like you're you're oh so you're addicted to cheap labor like our bad like no one no one forced you to take that hit like yeah you're you're allowed to not pay people less than they need to live on why don't y'all get on the front line during a pandemic if if that's what because i'm on my fucking boat in nicaragua fuck i do what the fuck man the fuck no i didn't know i did the cost benefit the risk assessment and it's not worth it for me. I believe in the fair market.

So I will declare strategic bankruptcy. Right. There's this kind of a no shit study, but I kind of thought it was interesting just because it's something you constantly encounter, especially once the world opens back up, is they said that there's a pretty powerful and reliable effect that, like, if you just glance at your phone, at least half of the people who are around you will look at theirs within 30 seconds, basically. Whoa. Like a sneeze? Like, at least contagious? Yeah, they said it's contagious yeah it's a it's contagious like yawning but yeah i feel like it's kind of easy to explain because it's also like a status thing kind of like well i have better things to do than be here talking to

you so right like it's i don't know well i have better things to be here talking to you yeah exactly right yeah well fuck you then okay that's cool oh it's like that oh you're doing something I don't know Well I have better things Than be here talking to you Yeah exactly Right Yeah Well fuck you then Okay that's cool Oh it's like that Oh you're doing something Let me just look at my phone Cause I don't care about you either

This is so funny Right The saddest shit is When you catch yourself Just doing like Play checking your phone And what you do You swipe up

You do two swipes over to like to see what apps you have oh yeah and then close the fucking phone oh i haven't opened that app in a while huh you're like oh oh you're talking okay cool arc light i guess i could get rid of that app and then quibi i'm gonna keep because i think just for the laughs i'm gonna keep that on my phone what'd you say what were you saying do i do i know how to log into my bank? Yep. No? Okay, cool. Still don't have that password? Oh, I've definitely done that. I got a story though.

I got to get on that. I should try to remember. Well, because for me, I was like, that was the one where I let the phone generate a crazy password because I was like,

okay, I should, you know, use some security for my bank account. And then it clearly got changed at some point, so I don't know which. I literally don't know how to log in on my phone. Oh, your bank. Yeah, yeah. I thought you meant just your lock screen on your phone.

Oh, no, no. Yeah, to my bank. I assume I have money in there, but there's no way for me to know. Yeah. When you said the people around somebody looking at a phone will also check their phone. Is it like if you are in the same social group, it's not like randomly at a restaurant. I'm like, yo, that dude looking at his phone. I'm gonna look at my phone. Like it's probably in a setting, right? The way it's framed. So they, they observed people in, in the

wild and they said 50% of people looked at their phones within 30 seconds of the trigger touching and looking at their phone. But if they just touched it without looking at it, it was just 0.5% of people. So I think it's, I think they're like putting these people out into actual social settings and then looking at anybody who's like happens to be looking at them. I don't think it's like in the air or anything. Right, right, right. If i mean like even but yeah you saw them or whatever right right right hmm yeah i mean one at one of the anecdotes they gave is like somebody who they were sitting across from in a waiting room so that's oh shit i mean that's somebody who you're not like actively in a conversation with yeah it's

because we've like lost this like it's a it's almost like or at least in america or very phone obsessed countries cultures like you don't want to be left with nothing to do you know like because now we're living a world where standing in line without looking at your phone is like what's up with that part what the fuck they up to something what the fuck they up to like that's where and it's funny like i've because i've tried to fight that remembering like i've i've been i've been for the for most of my life i've been having to wait around with not shit to do without the technology and how quickly i've been like i can't stand to be somewhere without my shit uh is a weird feeling But what are you going to do? Look around at shit while you're in line.

People are going to mistake you for some kind of creep. Some kind of not having a phone type creep. Someone with a flip phone. All right. Finally, let's get into the final sign of the apocalypse and clear indication that cancel culture has gone too far. Again, according to Fox News. So Snow White canceled. Yeah, you heard that right.

That was my audition to be a Fox News anchor. It's pretty good. You crushed it. You got the face. You got the face. You got the face for it. Now go on. That means a lot. Give us that take.

Give us that hot Fox take. So there was a SFGate article about Disneyland reopening, and they just zoomed in on a single sentence. It was a pretty positive, like, hey, this is what we did. It had nothing to do. The article wasn't about Snow White at all. It just happened to be part of it. And then the writer mentioned in this column that's in, you know, it's not a news article.

It's more of like a column where it's like, hey, I'm just making witty off the cut observations. And they described the true love kiss moment on the Snow White ride. Haven't we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue? That teaching kids that kissing when it hasn't been established, if both parties are willing to engage, is not okay? Well, that was plenty. Uh-oh. Hold on to your butts so fox though man they had a they had some other fucking commentator on i don't know who this person is just to just like the desk person was

like oh my gosh can you believe it like is there no escape from the woke police and here comes the talking head to just let you know like well like why this is just so, so fucked up. Exactly. I think it shows how wokeism destroys everything fun in our society. But it's a real issue because of how prevalent these woke culture warriors are in affecting the affecting everything that we read and we experience. I'm no Disney princess expert by any means, but I think what's particularly interesting about this issue is that this is a princess who would, I believe, die if she didn't receive this kiss.

And I think that even though consent is very important in human relationships, most humans can understand that consent is not everything in human relationships and that some things like all right let me just well hold on let me let me let's finish that thought some things like what permanent sleep or death might be worth factoring into the equation okay sorry she said your permanent sleep is on the tip. What? Permanent sleep is worse. Because sleep is the cousin of death. It's also great when they're like, we all agree that consent is important, but.

It's fun when it's not. You've lost. It's fun to imagine a world where it's not. And train and just drill that into the brains of our young developing children. Again, that woman is a columnist for the Federalist. Oh, hell yeah. That's all you need to know. Snow White, in addition to being saved

by a true love's kiss while in a coma, throughout the movie, when she's awake, she's constantly running into trees and shit and just like knocking herself out and like uh panicking and like breaking into people's houses and assuming it's gonna be fine and every time the thing that bails her out is that she looks cool while she's asleep like that's that's what happens in like that when the she like runs into she runs into the forest and gets attacked by trees because she doesn't know how to run. And then when she's asleep in the forest, all the animals come out and they're like, wow, this lady's really pretty. And then she breaks into the dwarf's house and they're about to kill her and then she like rolls over in her

sleep and they're like wow she's really pretty and then yeah and then the only way that she can be saved is after eating what is clearly a poisoned apple she like goes into a coma and then the only thing that saves her is somebody rolling by in the woods and being like, hell yeah. And kissing her while she's asleep. Gotta kiss this dead body. So it's not just about like, I don't know. It's one of the most backwards, like fucked up texts in terms of like, it's not just like the woman doesn't have agency. It's like anti-agency.

It's like, if you exercise agency you will die yeah right best form just lay prone yeah quiet and pretty yeah it's like really like it it's because once you watch it with any kind of brain it's like does it take much to unpack this motherfuckers like yeah to a kid sure one thing but it's pretty yeah it's like so what are you defending like why is this i don't why how good is it they're just i think again this is the only this is gonna i'm have a feeling we'll be doing this like once a week we'll figure out what the outrage du jour is because it can't be anything substantive anymore like they've contradicted themselves on so many of like their traditional policy positions as a party.

That's like, they've also, there's also like largely one on the policy shit they care about that, that the people who fund Fox news care about. Yeah. Right. Which is the tax. Cause they got,

they got that shit on lock and the other stuff, like whatever, I'm not affected by it, but yeah, that's how they, they all think. But yeah, this is what I think.

Cause they, again, they cannot report on Joe Biden because some of the things that he does polls well with Republicans. And we've seen how Fox News avoids those stories like the fucking plague in order to just keep Fox like as this thing to be diametrically opposed and just, you know, ill-informed or misinformed rather man just being a democratic president who does stuff that's popular with republicans that that seems to be the uh the yeah special sauce for her biden and clinton i mean if they really wanted to hit joe biden they could talk about how he's extending contracts with you know cia like formerly cia backed agencies that are helping reunite immigrants they're like the same people who

were like caging people before joe biden's like yeah here's 136 million dollars to help right the wrongs of the trump administration hit joe biden on that yeah but again that puts them they've played themselves where if they wanted to actually hit something be of something of substance they put themselves on the left suddenly and they're like yeah they're using the fast and the furious logic where like you turn the bad guy into the good guy you're like we got to bring these this bad cia agency in to help us reunite families again Fast and the Furious you know yeah

it's a four quadrant policy Andrew as always such a pleasure having you man where can people find you and follow you Andrew T last name is spelled T I on Twitter and Instagram
