Uh, yeah.

So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the senior fellow for gender equity, paid leave and care policy, and the director and founder of the entertainment initiative at the Better Life Lab. Uh, she's drinking water out of a comically large beerstein. Yep. Please welcome to the show, Vicki Shabom. Vicki!

Thank you so much. You guys are super, for fun. Oh, well, we try. We try in a world where there's a lot of darkness. How could you not have fun when talking about what's going on these things? What I say. Right, right. I'm very curious for you.

You're in D.C. And the work you're doing is basically diametrically opposed to all the values that are coming out of this current administration. administration. I'm stressed out talking about it. And then, and I, and I, and I have friends, like my, uh, my partner, she's from D.C. So a lot of people in her orbit and families are federal workers. And there's all varying forms of existential dread of getting Rift. Uh, everyone is saying that for shorthand. And I'm like, Rift and like reduction in force. And I was like, uh, uh, uh, aha, uh, uh, uh, yeah. What's, what's just what's it like, what's it like right now? The new euphemism.

Yeah. No, that's what they say, yeah. What's it like? Well, I was walking down the street yesterday, and there were like four National Guard walking towards me with rifles. That's fun. That's kind of what it's like right now. Yeah, it's a little, I would say two things.

I think that communities of people are coming together in ways that are really exciting. Like, neighbors are showing up for each other. Yeah, there's, like, people in fatigues with weapons all over the place. And people are scared, and restaurants are kind of. to empty. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of people don't have jobs or don't know if they will have jobs. Do you feel like it's worth it because you can wear your watch outside again,

like the administration keeps talking about? You can wear hyper expensive watches outside in D.C. Yeah, that doesn't really make up for it for me. I can, I wear three Rolexes now because I can afford them. Yeah, of course. Right. And you might get arrested by the National Guard or, as we call it, zip-zab-zopped by the National Guard.

I feel like, calling getting fired Rift is so weird. It's like, we're just RIF in here, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm reducing the workforce and ruining people's lives. No, I have a friend who works at HHS, and they are just like, every day, you just wonder if you get the RIF alert. And I'm like, at first I was like, am I not, I just wasn't savvy on the term. But yeah, that, yeah, the acronym for a reduction in force notification. Damn.

Yeah. All right. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about the world, the tech economy, I guess. Chad GPT just announced that they're partnering with Walmart to make capitalism even more frictionless and their product worse. We're breaking this product that people are in the process of adopting in record time.

So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about a new study that went viral on Wall Street about. how circular, a.k. Ancestuous, the flow chart of money is on the AI side. It's like a handful of companies just all sloshing money back and forth between each other. And that could be a bad thing because, as they note, the statistics coming from, they're like, we're going to do a blind item here and say one of the players, their statistics are very opaque and chat GPT, like they forget they're doing a blind item the next sentence. So we'll talk about that.

And just generally, like, there's a lot of articles also coming out about how America's, like, behind the curve, behind China on the, on technology, robotics. And they're written with a tenor of fear. And I just want to say, I feel fine about this. So all of that, plenty more. But first, Vicki, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, I love Broadway, and I love musicals, and they are like the thing that gives me joy in this moment of, you know, a lot. So I have windows open trying to figure out what I should go see when I'm next in New York. Ah, any early contenders?

Definitely want to see chess. Definitely want to see ragtime. Another fun fact about me, I go to adult Broadway camp every year. So spend a week in New York and sing and dance and, yeah, meet other. people from across the country who like may or may not most of them are talented we're all like varying levels i would never want to do this professionally but it's super fun what's your vocal range well just hit us with hit us with a little uh riff sorry if you don't if you don't mind singing we just heard laura trump sing uh i won't back down by tom petty so yeah well this past summer i sang

finished the fight from suffs which was like very on point um which is about the fight for women's equality yeah so i'm not going to do that for okay okay okay okay yeah didn't mean to put you on the spot. I can't. I could. I could. I could. No other to Lari Trump offering to, uh, she could be the halftime performer if they ask me. I don't know. I'm just an idea. I mean, just think about how mad the left would be if you asked me to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. To help my fledgling career. Yeah. I must be doing that too. Guys, think about how mad the left would be if you let me make the next Pixar movie.

Yeah, right, right. Yeah. What is something prop you think is underrated? Man, I just think it's underrated, like, just not knowing new, like, Gen Alpha slang. It's fine, dude. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, let them have a thing. I find, you know what I'm saying? Did you witness somebody speaking outside of their age bracket?

Yes. I witnessed somebody speaking outside of their age bracket. And it was, okay, other fathers in the building, you will be there very, very, soon miles in the pickup lines right the after school pickup line is the oh my god it is the waffle house of dad ship where you just got to like you just you can't like you have to learn how you got to yourself jack please attest to this like you have to be very selective as to who you'll start a conversation with because it will it it it can go horribly right it will go in weird directions it can go in awful directions and it's like it's lose lose because let's just say you meet a dude and you're like

that's actually a cool ass dude but then our kids don't get along you know you're like fuck right right but then the kid that yo child likes got a weird old ass dad and now you're like shit like it's just like it's just like I'm gonna drop you off if that's cool it's like I'll drop you off you I'm saying so it's just like it's just so much can go wrong yeah give a little honk as you're driving Yes, don't let them figure out I do hip hop or that I got a podcast or you, like, because they're looking for somebody. Podcast is tough. Yes, we're both looking for somebody that's kind of cool.

You're a rapper and podcaster. I get not. If you were a stand-up comedian also, it would be cooked. It's all bad. Oh, Jason, I do a little rapping myself. Yeah, it's all. Siri, play the shook ones instrumental. Yeah, yeah.

Now, luckily, a few times I've scored. So the dude that runs the record label that put out Andre's flute record. Yeah, yeah. So Day family goes to my kid's school. So, like, I've lucked out a few times. I'm like, that dude's dope. You know what I'm saying? Like, just all this like experimental.

Yeah, I was like, okay, he's dope. Right. So I've scored every once in a while. But sometimes you just run into the dude that sees me and thinks I want to hear him try out his new slang. Right. And I'm like... Six, seven, right? What?

And I have to look at homey and be like, look, man, just keep whipping and nay-naing. Like, just stay where you are. Yeah. Just stay. And it's fine, homie. Like, you feel me, like, find something timeless. Like, whatever, you know, like, whatever the verbal version of, like,

just a pair of clean dickies and a white tea is some chucks, bro. Like, just stay classic. You feel me? Like, you can't lose if you just. state classic it's okay you don't know what six seven is yeah that's fine that's they thing let them had a thing yeah right yeah so i'm told it doesn't mean anything so it's fine for me to use it in all contexts actually and you know what you might be right and that's actually cool and that makes me cool just FYI and here's the thing because i have that you might be right you know what you know why you might

be right or why i don't know because i don't know right there you go and it's okay and it's okay that i don't know And guess what? These kids don't know what the fuck we're talking about. They don't know what the hell we're talking about. It's okay. They don't want to know when they hear a song that, like, actually that song came from, let them had a song, man. You want to hear the sample, though?

You want to hear the sample? No, let them had a song. Like, I almost showed my daughter the Luther Vandro song as she was singing along to Siza and Kendrick. And then I caught myself and was like, why are you doing this? You know what? That's called Luther, though? Yeah, exactly. Let her have it.

You know who Luther is. What is something you think is over? Yeah, that would be my kids. They just saw a Sponged Superman movie. Lex Luthor? No. Now, she asked me why is it called Luther? Then I would tell her.

But, like, right ask. She's not asking the right questions. You're not asking the right question. Well, you should. I mean, but you're the cool dad. I feel like that's kind of the formative process is you have somebody, even though they are not into it, they're going to be like, you know, actually, I did appreciate you. Now, my oldest, but she found it on her own.

So the thing was I just exposed her to it. I didn't like make her. It was just you would come in the house. I'm cleaning in the house. I'm walking around. I'm doing this is what we're playing. There's records. Those are the records right there.

I'm pulling from there and just let it be a part of her ethos. And now she's like, yeah, now she's, you see the crates behind me. She's like digging through them crates, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's fun. What is something you think is overrated? Okay. I'm over everyone's halls.

Like Trader Joe's hall. Marshalls Hall. You mean groceries? Yes. And that's where we're at. People used to be. I'm serious. You mean you went grocery shopping?

Check out my Grover Hall. I mean, I get it in the era of how much groceries cost. You might as well stunt. You're like, yeah, I bought that $8 bag of flour. Right? Like, I just, to me, it just screams mental illness, right? Where I'm just like, I don't either you went shopping and spent too much money that you shouldn't have spent on shit that nobody cares about.

Like, don't unbox me your Hermes purse. Like, I'm sorry. In this economy, nobody needs to see that shit, bitch. and then also like you said oh your groceries you mean you went grocery shopping you want to show me that you got the fucking iced jojos i don't care like what are we doing what are we doing it just i just remember like when my mom used to go out and she would spend a morning doing errands right and i would fucking beg and plead to get out of them because i didn't want to do it and then she'd come home and she'd be like you want to see everything i got and i'm like no no i don't i didn't want to go why do i and now i'm on the internet and every third thing i scroll past it's like here's my hall and it's like yeah It's just that, yeah, it's that hyper. Do your consumerism in peace. Just do it in peace. I don't want to see it.

I don't need to watch you shop. That's what's frightening is that like hyperconsumption as content is just like a very normal thing where it's like, I bought $6,000 of stuff and here I am. Or just seeing like the kinds of shit now people like collect like there's like this completionist form of hyperconsumption where it's like, oh, I got to have every version of this bath bomb or I'm at every single variety. of this, like, like, skin care. I've saw, there are a couple of people I watch on YouTube who are just kind of like, they're like, yo, check out this shit I'm seeing on TikTok.

And people have like whole rooms, like, just dedicated to like cosmetics and things that are unopened, that are purely like, and this is this. And here are my sacred consumables. Welcome to my chamber. Like, I remember we just had to deal with couponers. You know what I mean? You know, there's just like this notion of couponing and you had like this store of stuff because you had coupon so hot. And it's like, now people are like, no, I don't need a coupon. I just not, I want the nine different boxes of Tide.

Yeah. Because they're, you know, what are we doing? We used to get this from being able to afford to go to the grocery store. Right. And now we have to go like synthetic Diet Coke lime version of consumerism. Like the white noise scene where he's like spiritually fucked up and he like makes his family go to the grocery store. And it should be like, look at the colors.

Jesus. This feels fucking great. Like now you just get that online. Well, I think that's like it's all, because they're all just downstream of watching billionaires buy shit and everybody just kind of do their version of it. So billionaires are like,

yo, check out, this Learjet. This I'm on the G6 or whatever. And people are like, okay, what's my version? Okay, I bought $500 worth of Trader Joe's canvas shopping bags that I've like framed on my wall. And then now those things get smoke. I'm coming for those, man. Oh, wow.

You tell them people you got all that shit? Okay. Wouldn't be me? But like in the same way, too, like the grocery thing, I get in a way because it's so expensive that why wouldn't you be like, yeah, yeah, I got it like that. I went to the fucking grocery store. I bought this much. And when it gets to that level, I'm like, God, this is so fucking frightening. Doing the money phone with a box of tide.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, with toilet paper. Yeah. No, I had like basically the like checkout gal at Publix in the like, you know, check yourself out section. And I bought six things. I bought organic blackberries I bought organic Kiwis

I bought an organic mango I bought some brasola which is dried Italian beef and I bought a thing of feta cheese

and then I bought like a jar of honey right and I'm ringing them through and the girls watching me ringing us $47

you know it was close to $70 no I was going to say 57 that was going to be my guess how big was Wow.

Because the organic berries were like $6 a carton. And I thought that they were three for five. So I had bought like the three of them, you know? They weren't three for five. And so I had to like call her over and be like, and she's like, no, no, no, no, no. Those are the non ones. I was like, yeah, the non-organic ones that were molding in the containers. Yeah, okay, that makes sense.

Right, right, right. But this teenager had to come over and take them off. And when she saw how much it was, she was like, let me check it. And I was like, no, babe, that's just what shit costs. It's not, it's not wrong. And then she was just like, she was like concerned for my well-being. She was like, are you going to be okay? Like, can you afford this?

Like, are you all right? Like, and I was like, I was like, girl, I do have it like that. I am okay buying these things. I'm about to do a haul, actually, follow me. Yeah, I'm about, it's a lot of Tuesday. But like, the look on her face when she saw how much seven things cost. And she was just like, oh, it's still live it. Oh, right.

Yeah. This is like the one. I'm just so surprised Democrats aren't even fucking talking about this is like the one thing you'd probably get some Republicans nodding along with to be like yeah

I bought a loaf of bread that was $7 like a loaf of white bread We remember how Kamala Harris talked about like greet flation once exactly once But the Uber people got her to fucking come like hey whoa whoa whoa

Her brother-in-law or something Hey hey shit fuck up about that bro What are you trying to do fucking make me less money You fucking stalling over here? What was the shit? No, but it was the honey. The honey was like $17.

I didn't realize the honey was saying. Damn, Jesus. And I was just like, shit, because I was like, what is? I was still adding it as we were going through to decipher what was so expensive. And it was the honey. And she was like, do you still want it? And I was like, yes. I have no choice until I have my apiary set up.

Correct. And someone in my house is allergic to be, so that'll be never. Real my girl situation. Oh, yeah, for real. For real. I would be devastated. Shut out, Thomas. But yeah, crazy.

But yeah, man, keep your groceries to yourself, Doug. It's expensive. I don't want to see it. Don't show me what you got. Make me jealous of food. Exactly.

It's hard enough. I'm a fat lady. I'm constantly jealous of food. Yeah, I got it like that. But you don't have to know about it. Organic. Just drizzling organic honey over your head.

Right? All over myself. That's right. All right. Let's take a quick break. And we'll be back to talk about the news. The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them.

And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in to connect the dots. Unusual is a deal like this. Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing.

They are. Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Ed Helms and welcome back to Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw-ups.

On our new season, we're bringing you a new snafu every single episode. 32 lost nuclear weapons. Wait, stop? What? Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player. who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's going to be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests.

The great Paul Scheer made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow. Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched. You're here. What was that like for you to soft launch into the show? Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcast we were doing. Nick Kroll.

I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of Snap-Foo with Ed Helms on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved. until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.

Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, And I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her. Or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns. Listen to Graves County in the Bone Valley feed on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And to binge the entire season ad-free, subscribe to Lava for Good Plus on Apple Podcasts. I'm I Belongoria. And I'm Maite Gomes Rejoin.

And on our podcast, Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things, food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Ostercon, to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the Ostercon. And because we've got a very Mikaasa esucasa kind of vibe on our show. show, friends always stopped by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the Gulf of Mexico.

No, of America. No, the America. The Gulf of Mexico, continue to be forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform. They had labor rights. They had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Fultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. What is something that you think is overrated? I think Vegas, man. Oh, I just... Vegas. It's just, listen.

Okay, so I just recently had to do some work out there. And it was one of those. things where I had to admit I tried like that I feel like I felt like this my whole life like I tried so hard and come so far but in the end it doesn't even matter no I try yeah I knew this all like all the homies being like oh we're going to do a Vegas trip my sister like my sister and her husband like my my my mom has like a time share out there and my sister and my brother-in-law use it all the time they go and it's like oh we just go for the buffets you know and I'm just like I, from the partyingest of party years to maybe we're going to go celebrate the homies 40th

or the Usher, the Wu-Tang, you know, the Silk-Sonic, like, I'm just like, you know what, man, I just don't like you here. I just, I just, I don't see it, y'all. You can age out. Yeah. Yeah. And I was just like, man, I don't. And that's what I was thinking.

I was like, did I just age out? But then I was like, I don't think I ever really. Really fucked with it. I don't think I ever really fucked with it, man. Like, I think, again, it's the backpacker in me. I was like, I need something real, you know? Yeah, yeah. But I don't know, man.

It's just, I'm good. What good art has come from Vegas? Are they good? 702, the R&B group. Okay. Oh, too. Dizzy Wright, the rapper. I'm sorry.

I'm just coming, 702? Yeah, that's all I got. That's their area code. I know. I remember, yeah. No, I'm not, I'm not going to shit. I'm not going to say Vegas is a. barren wasteland

no not like that I mean it's like it's very interesting once you get out of the strip you know it's a regular ass city once you get out the strip you know but just I just feel like the

like in some ways you can see it as a place where great music goes to die like musicians at the end of their life or you know they killed two parts it's like when a European soccer player comes to MLS

right it's like oh okay so you're finished with the main for the main thing now you're just after like a MVP seven years in a row. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think I did, I did used to agree about the partying stuff, but then me and my friends came up with this saying that would ever happen in Vegas stay in Vegas.

That's sick. And like, I was like, oh, nice. You can do crimes here. You can not feel bad about it. You just cheat. That's basically what we say. You can be a horrible person. You go to Vegas and cheat on our spouses. Yeah. That's how it started. That's what it sounds like.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, what happens in Vegas? He's in Vegas. I don't know if I want to live like that. Like, you know what I'm saying?

And here's the thing, bro. It know it don't. It don't stay in Vegas, man. Yeah, exactly. It turns out. Human beings are social creatures. They want to say shit out loud. That's just how that works.

And you still, you still fuck that other woman. You're like, that still happened. You know what I? I used to go to Vegas a lot because I had a friend whose dad was a big time gambler. So it would always be like this free trip.

They'd be like, Hey, my dad doesn't want Vegas, you want to go to Vegas? And I'm like, yeah, fuck it. And I'll be like 17s. But so, but we just got to be up in it. Yeah. And like, eat good. And then, like, you know, his dad would break us up with some cash or whatever.

And then we would like, you know, try and buy like a fucking iceberg shirt or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never had this kind of money. Anyway, so I've, I've really been interested in seeing like what's happening right now because everyone, I mean, it seems to be that with like the pandemic and a lot of people getting like checks, a lot of people began to go to Vegas. to spend more money. And then, like, the casinos were like, we can actually start charging people more. And then it became more and more to the point

where now nobody's like, are you fucking kidding? I'm not going to pay this much money to stay here when before that wasn't the thing. That usually wasn't an obstacle to come to Vegas. Even pre-pandemic, it was like, you can get a cheap hotel room and get a cheap meal. The meal was cheap.

Yeah. We will fly you here. Basically, give us your money. Yeah. That's what I experienced. Can you afford to give us your money? They're like, well, now it's all fucked up. That was my last experience.

I was like, man, I you, what I, the one saving grace was the fact that like, you're like a really good meal for cheap, you know? And I'm like that, now that's gone. You could eat a fucking lobster tail for like five bucks. You're like, what the fuck? This is great. Boy, we checked into that hotel. It was like, all right, here's your, you know, you swipe for incidentals. And then they, then they said something that I was like, I almost slapped the shit out of this person.

they said, okay, here's your incidentals, and then here's your resort fee. Yeah, resort fee. Oh, resort fees. Fam, what the hell is a resort fee? It's something we don't have to put in the price. It's actually pretty great for us, but you're already here. So I'm paying for the room. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm paying the taxes. Is that which okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then there's the fee for the resort. And then there's the fee for the fact that this is a resort. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you feel bad about that, you can get mad at the service workers who are

being paid by that. We just like to split that out so that you don't know about it into the last second. And then also it's like, oh, this takes money to keep all these people employed. Yeah. I mean, yeah, every city is just suffering now. Got it. Got it. Yeah. But like that was the one thing

Vegas had. Like Vegas, I feel like is a little like Disney in the sense that I've always suspected, like you go there. DeBosch Disney, yeah. Yeah, debauched Disney. Like you see crimes that I'm like, how are they not reporting? Why is this? okay. Like, there will be, there will be, like, very evidently a homicide or something, the police are surrounding, and then you, like, look for reporting on it. It's like, don't know what you're

talking about, man. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, you know? Exactly. That's our police force motto, too. That 25-year-old girl is 17. I don't care what, that is a child. There is no one. Yeah. That is a child. Okay. The second, I think especially, like, for kids who grew up near Vegas, that's, like, one of the first scams. You try and run the second you get an ID you think's going to work. This was obviously for millennials because now kids are like, what the f you fucking want

to, you want to go drink alcohol? I'm like, yeah, it was a different time, okay? Yeah. What are you born in the 1900s? Yeah. You smoke weed, dude? What the fuck? Come on, man. You can smoke it? Okay. But yeah, it was just a

different time anyway. But I do think that Vegas tried to do what Disney did like and found that the demand for Vegas is a little bit more like Disney was just like we're just going to keep raising the prices and people will keep coming yeah and Vegas found out like that that doesn't quite work for them their demand is a little bit more inelastic yeah they don't because the X factor for Disney is children like you have to do it for the children if it's just for me like you know what we just we're farted kids yeah it's like we know you can sip e and j brandy on any street. I can do that at home. Yeah. Yeah, I can do that at home. You can also gamble online.

It's right. So I don't have to be here. Yes. You can ruin your, you can ruin your life from the comfort of your own home. From your toilet. Oh, right. You can have an alcoholic beverage and gamble away your life savings from your toilet. Yes. All right. Shout out Lucy. Let's talk about, let's talk about, let's talk about, shout out the Lucy. All right. All right. So there's no Kings, there's no Kings demonstration. coming up. And the GOP is racing to turn this into like full Antifa Olympics. Yeah. They're trying to make people scared.

You know, this is, uh, the clock is ticking basically on the Republicans trying to fully have like a vice grip on dissent in this country, especially before the dubious midterms. And I will say dubious because this regime seems to have no issues with lying at cost. So what would stop them? I mean, a Republican just bought the voting systems that, you know, operate in over 20 or 27 states about. Yeah, we talked as a Dominion. They bought probably nothing fish going on there. And currently the Supreme Court is hearing a case that would gut the Voting Rights Act basically and allow GOP legislatures to redraw even more racist fucking gerrymandering to consolidate power. So, you know, they, well, sure. Not great. Sure. They at the nerve.

It's just like, it's one thing to be like racist and evil. It's another thing to look me in the face like I'm stupid. And I think that that's the part that's been getting under my skin where I'm like, oh, I'm a dumbass is what you think. Okay, you hate me, but I'm also a dumbass. They're like, no, that's not what we're doing at all, black, man. Listen, when they said we need to rethink these voting laws and these gerrymandering laws because they're based on race and that is unfair.

And I'm like, sir. do you want we don't see they're based on race they're based on race because the first lines were based on race so you got to make a law

about the race because we're undoing the race yeah yeah I just you mean what what about like the 13th amendment

or the 14th amendment we can't be tired of it's like well that's based on race well so was slavery sir I don't understand why yeah I'm just like, oh, so I'm stupid, right?

And I'm stupid when, like you said, yeah, them, them saying, I think the one they're looking at now is the one in Louisiana, right? Where they're just like, hey, man, we got to redraw this district. It's too many black people in it. Right, right. That's what, yeah. That's what you're just going to say that? It's going to have ramifications outside of Louisiana because that's what they'll use to then go.

Yeah. Because the whole thing is about creating, like, doing a way with minority representation. at all costs and segregating legislatures as much as possible. And this would basically completely take that out of our laws and be like, no, go ahead. I mean, like, they were tripping one. We're interpreting this law completely differently. But anyway, all that to say is this is all part of everything we're seeing to try and drastically change our perception of this country and the norms of it and what it even means to protest.

Because right now, like Jack was saying, Saturday, no King's protest scheduled across the country, but it's now a focal point for. Republican propaganda. They're currently on a mission to paint basically anyone or anything that is not wearing a MAGA hat as some kind of violent paid protester that is hell bent on destroying the nation. And this serves a few purposes. First, it creates fear among their base who may potentially come out to counter protest because all they're saying is like, these people are trying to destroy our country. We need to stop it. We need to stop it. You need to stop it. You need to go there and confront these people also. And potentially they can have a flashpoint. that they can use to, again, because all they're waiting for is to smash the martial law button. The second shit gets out of the auction act is. Yeah. Fully just go for it for the flimsiest reason. Another reason, it helps cede the idea that people that are against this regime are de facto criminals.

And therefore, whatever retribution or malignant form of justice they encounter is justified and deserved. And also, third, it's a lie meant to convince their base that everything is actually. fine and that there is nothing to protest and there's nothing to be concerned about it. Your neighbors who keep saying the shit is going down the toilet and that your rights eventually will also be impeded, they're paid

liars by George Soros. They don't even believe that. They're being paid by George Soros. They're robots. It doesn't matter. It's like we can beat them up. It doesn't even matter. They're like robots. I mean, here's like, it's like Star Wars. You can like, fuck with

the droids. They can still be PG because you're doing fucked up shit to droids. So here's Mike Johnson, okay, the speaker of the house. This is again him and his just outright lie about like what is even happening when people are protesting this current administration. Also, just for people who can't see the clip, is he, is the guy behind him on an Apple box or is Mike Johnson a short person? Or is that Victor Wembingyama behind him? Yeah, I don't know. Let me see. Let's just, let's do that real quick. This is like mystery show where we go, how tall is Jake Gyllenhaal?

Mike? It says he's six foot two. Damn. All right. He's six two? Dang. That's what they're saying. That guy behind him is a fucking tank.

Someone said five nine. I believe five nine. Yeah. Five nine looks more reasonable, right? Speaker of the house, Mike Johnson. Yeah, I don't believe six two. No, not. Six two might be.

Not the pitcher Mike Johnson. Yeah. But anyway, all that to say, here he is again, just he's the kicking off. the propaganda festivities with the smear that anyone who's protesting is some kind of American hating whatever just listen to all the adjectives he uses i'll turn it back over to the leader take some questions but we've heard and many of you've reported already this hate america rally that they have coming up for october 18th oh my god uh the antifa crowd and the pro hamas crowd and the marxists they're all going to gather on them all we got some house democrats selling

t-shirts for this event it is a it is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes, but the Democrats in the Senate have shown that they're afraid of that crowd, that they don't want to bow, they want to bow to them, bow the need of them, and they don't want to take incoming from them. And so they're willing to hold the American people hostage so that they don't have to face an angry mob that's a big chunk of their base. What a fucking projection that is. Yeah. Oh, it's them that's afraid.

Guy who is currently shutting down the house to avoid confirming a Democrat who will help release the Epstein files. I just again you think I'm stupid like yeah no exactly that's the it just it gets under my skin so much because it just with anybody

even just the city's being like ravished hellhose I'm like just buy flight yeah yeah just go you could go see right okay just go just go to the rally yeah just go see yeah they're like man you don't want to go to Portland

why you never seen somebody in a frog costume dude do his little You never seen a naked dude on a bicycle? Y'all like Persimins, bro, like y'all want to hit a, hit a farmer's market with me? Right, exactly. Oh, you don't like artisanal jams? Yes, these are easily, that's, it's just so frustrating because I'm like, this is easily verifiably false.

This is not for us. This is not for our consumption because we live, we are in the lived reality of being in these cities. This is for the people who are far enough away to then feel okay that whatever is happening to those people is fine because it's happening to those. people in this place that's been characterized as a war zone or burning fucking hellhole or whatever. Here's Senator Roger Marshall going on too because they're all, this is like their whole thing

is like, it's like this hate America thing. They're all calling it the hate America rally. Again, it's talking about how this, this is going to get wild because they're all paid protesters. And then October 18th is when the, uh, the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid for protests where his professional protesters show up, the agitator show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out.

Hopefully it'll be peaceful. I doubt it as well. So I think that they have to get that march done. They have to show their protests. They have to fight like they're saying here. This is all a political show. They can't, yeah, they're like, nothing's wrong. Ignore all the people that are saying, Daddy's a bad man.

Do you know any paid protesters? You ever met one? Oh, man. Yeah, like, I remember meeting an astro-turfing tea party person before in like 2009. And so I was going to say, I was like, they take out ads. Kind of their thing. Yeah. Yeah, if you are a community organizer that works for a non-profit,

hell no. Anyone who's ever fucking organized a day in their life knows there's no fucking, the only way I could, and I did a lot of organizing in the past, is like, you'd be like, hey, there'll be some coffee there. This literally, we'll have some, we'll have some donuts or something. I know what's coffee, Miles? I don't know, man. It'll be yum yum donuts and some other cheap shit that another volunteer is going to bring.

I don't know. But I can say there'll be some water, but if it's come here for this much money, no, that's not what it is. And that's not how real activism works. The whole point is to align yourself with other people that have the same belief system and helping to sort of build out a network of like-minded people. So when something happens, you can then immediately call upon your network and respond quickly to some kind of event. now this thing that's happening is because there's people for a myriad of reasons that they're upset there are going to be people who are like man what the fuck is going on in palestine they're also going to be laid off federal workers who are like i've been working here for decades and you guys are fucking my life up there are so many reasons actually why people would be upset and it's like for this to be actually authentic you would have to assume that people don't mind that people want health care and i mean like really in the end. Is that really what people care about? I don't know.

Or you'd have to assume... I think they just want to see their neighbors beat up. Or you'd have to assume that when they go to work, that they get their paychecks. Right. You'd have to assume that people like getting paychecks for going to work. Yeah. And how again,

like, I feel like I hear my dad's voice. Like, you think I'm stupid. My dad used to say, right. So when you say, the thing you do not want to hear a parent say. Yes.

Oh, I get it. So you think I'm stupid. Oh, so you think I'm stupid. So you're trying to tell me, you're trying to tell me you have control of all three branches of government and both houses, both parts of Congress. But the Democrats is holding up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're telling me you got the power, mother, that you can gerrymand. We can't nuke the filibuster either like we just did.

But no, we just do that. Wait. You just said. something in there you said like we just did yeah like that that's a different time okay oh my god you're taking my words out of context it's yeah it is i mean this helps for an audience of people who don't know what it's like and i think also you have to be pretty insulated to also ignore the own sort of your own existential threats that present themselves in your life like the cost of health care the cost of electricity now the cost of food it's only if it's a it's a minority of people in this country who can

be like, yeah, all right, electricity is more expensive. Why didn't check the bill? You got to pay it. I'll eat that. I'll eat. I can eat that. I mean, you got to pay it. So I don't even check. Yeah. So, okay, 25 bucks for an apple. All right. Fine. I don't really like Apple. I'll get two next time. Most people are actually feel that pressure. I think that's a weird, again, I think this is why they're trying to really energetically paint all of this displeasure to put it lightly with what's happening as manufactured, synthetic, artificial outrage because in fact everything is going okay and to please ignore any noises you hear to the contrary because that's fake and being paid for by George Soros.

Where's the gene in the audience that it just feels so natural to me when somebody says a statement that just kind of feels outlandish for me to go, huh, I wonder where they got that? And then as simply as you just did right now, we was like, man, man, Mike Johnson looks kind of short right there. I wonder how tall he is. So when you say to you, when someone says, oh, this is a Marxist, George Soros paid, I'd go, huh, as George Soros ever paid for a protest?

Click, click, click, click, click, click. And be like, seems like that's not true. Well, it's actually, it's the Soros Foundation. It's a philanthropic group that then gives money to other groups. Then therefore, it's like, I'd go, huh, that's interesting. Let me look that up. I just don't understand why you can't just be like, wow, I feel like any one of y'all would say something to me that felt a little out of pocket.

I love y'all dearly, but I would be like, wow, I wonder where they got that. And it would just like, you understand what's crazy? Even Jack didn't believe it was dubious when I said Jason Lee was Stan Lee's son. He was like, really? What? Yeah. And I was like, and I fucked with him. I said, yeah.

And then I was like, no, you're right. Yeah, you're right. You know what I'm saying? Like just, but just, I mean, I was going to be. willing to believe that nepotism is a thing in the entertainment industry. That's crazy of me. I just don't know where your antennas are. That's at the end of the day.

It does feel like the hate America movement is the same, is being fueled by the same outrage that caused things that people, that people were like, this came out of nowhere, the Occupy movement, Bernie doing well, then fucking Trump

doing well, then Zoran doing well. Like all these, you know, things that people were like, we're, you know, Where is this coming from? And, you know, they're obviously fueled by fucking inequality and people are like that. They are just, since all of these things started happening, they're just like pushing the accelerator further and further down on the thing that everyone's responding to. And I think you're right that like, oh, so you think I'm stupid is probably, like, I think that's going to be more and more of the national. sentiment like as they try to just be like if you're protesting yeah you hate america as people

are like feeling pain yeah like i i do i don't think that's like a good strategy going forward like as you know as surprising as like some of his popularity has been in the past like i do think the fact that everything that he's doing is you know accelerating the problem that drove him to popularity in the first place. And then he's weaponizing and, like, beating the shit out of people who are like, we still don't like this. Yeah. I think, like, I do think, despite some of the, you know, wild shit, like, I do think

generally on balance, people are smarter than the mainstream media gives them credit for. And they are not going to fall for the, they hate American movement. The media, politicians, they're all kind of like, oh, wait, well, I used to be able to do this and everybody got in line and that's not working anymore. And I think also, too, that's where you see the similarity with Democrats and Republicans. They both don't want to cop to the fact that this country could be doing so much better. But they're just coming from their both. They're just coming at it from different angles.

One is just like, no, I mean, we just need to get back to normal. And the other is like, no, everything's great. You need to shut the fuck up. And if you say someone would beat the shit out of you, not a winning strategy. We could obviously talk about this for hours, but we do need to take a quick break and come back and check in with the DMV that issues your man card. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them.

And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots. How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East

is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation.

Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Ed Helms, and welcome back to Snafoo, my podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. On our new season, we're bringing you a new snafu every single episode. 32 lost nuclear weapons. Wait, stop? What? Yeah. Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player. Who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's going to be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests. The great Paul Shear made me feel

good. I'm like, oh, wow. Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched. You're here. What was that like for you to soft launch into the show? Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcasts we were doing. Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of Snap-Fu with Ed Helms on the I-Hart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.

I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff, They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

And I'm all grown up now. Welcome to our new podcast, Viva Betty! Yay! Woo-hoo!

Can you believe it has been almost 20 years? That's not even possible. Well, you're the only one that looks that much different. I look exactly the same. We're re-watching the series from start to finish and getting into all the fashions, the drama, and the behind-the-scenes moments that you've never heard before. You're going to hear from guests like America Ferreira,

Vanessa Williams, Michael Yuri, Becky Newton, Tony Plana, and so many more. Icons, each and every one. All of a sudden, like, someone, like, comes running up to me, and it's Selma Hayek. And she's like, you are my ugly bitchy. And I was like, what is she even talking about? Listen to Viva Betty as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. and we're back we're back and turning point USA has announced that as an alternative to the bad bunny halftime show they will be putting on the all-American half-time show at the super bowl you know one of those super bowl half-time shows that doesn't happen at the super bowl and caters exclusively to white supremacists they it's like when the like your school has a prom and they're like don't go out drinking afterwards.

We're going to do a lock-in where everybody can sleep in the gym together safely, not touching. You're like, I'm going to go fuck my girlfriend and get high on marijuana. Yeah, like in the boiler room or something. You're not going to stop me. Get out of here.

Nerds. They announced this before booking any actual acts. That's what you do. Yeah. So you do when you're a reactionary group like this. And their whole energy is giving off not just that they don't have experience. putting on halftime shows,

but that they just found out what music is because they, as they announced it, they issued a survey to their users saying, what music genres would you like to see featured? Select all that apply. Americana, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, worship, anything in English. Dude, Americana.

Wow. What are you going to a fucking a Caruso shopping center in Glendale? What is America? That's so broad. This land is your land. This land is... No, Americana is actually like a sub-drama of country that is largely based in singer and songwriter music. That tends to be a little twangy.

Okay. But it doesn't necessarily have like overt, like country stuff. So I'm trying to think of like an Americana artist that you would kind of know. I mean, Sierra Farrell is kind of Americana. Hmm. It's sort of this... Wait, Sierra hooked up with Ferrell. You wish. You wish. A lot of those sonically sounds like country like with like slide guitar, like lap guitar kind of thing.

It can, but not necessarily. Okay. So it's kind of like more singer-songwriter. What is it not have? More singer-songwriter, more acoustic-y. It could have all of those things, but it's not necessarily going to be like two chords in the truth. You know what I mean when you think of like? that country kind of thing you know but it can it can involve elements of all of those things and usually when they when an artist is kind of button hold as americana it usually means that like they are uh playing like there's usually going to be sort of like a a banjo a guitar okay that that kind of aesthetic yeah that it's it's you know very singer song already is the best the best kind of way i can kind of describe so it is an actual job well now it is an actual job Now we're over here, learning, and that's what Turning Point USA is after in the end.

So a lot of right-wingerers were fooled by a fake poster for the event that was like boasting. The poster says, Turning Point USA, Kid Rock, America's Half-Time Show, Ted Nugent, Travis Trit, Jason Aldeen, Aaron Lewis of Stained, John Rich, Lee Greenwood, Forgiato Blow, featuring a guest appearance from Measles. And they didn't read to the end. No, they didn't. A bunch of people were like, damn, look how fast they put this amazing lineup together. This is going to be incredible. Everyone was like sharing it. And like Alex Jones's guy, Owen Schroier was like talking about how impressive it was that the conservative organization had packed in so much talent in such a tight time frame.

And he was also like, also isn't this show 20 minutes? How the fuck are you going to use all those people? Anyway, don't figure it out. South was it. Hey, Ivermectin brain. How are you going to get a fucking guest appearance from measles, too? But okay. God.

And also the second you look at it, you're like, this is AI slop. Like, the graphics of me, I'm like, come, I mean, whatever. They're not, not that they're literate in the shit. They spelled USA correctly. Yeah. Yeah. For some of those in the South, this looks like a very professional. This is a very professional poster, I'm telling you.

Kid Rock himself probably woke up and was like, fuck, I got drunk last night. What I say yes to is got an eagle on a hat and a beer. I must. Sounds legit. I'll be there. I will be there. I will be there. Good luck to them. You know what I mean? Nobody's going to watch that shit. No. I mean, we'll watch clips. Listen. People capture it to talk about it. But I'm, I mean, I barely watch the Super Bowl as it is. But maybe they'll have us. I never watch it. I mean, I will be tuning in absolutely for bad money because I'm telling you what. We need to have more dog flap on TV. And as long as that man is doing that dance and you know what I'm talking about. algorithm looks anything like mine that's all i want that's all i want for america is just that's just it just i just i need some just flap it i want him to see him walk that dinosaur in the wind uh dude i want to see him walk that dinosaur across the stage that's all i'm talking about i want i want him to re-record that song by was not was uh with bad bunny just walk in the

dinosaur that's all i want is just a super edit of just dong flapping bunny with that in the background that's all i want that's what i want we'll see maybe that'll change america's minds hearts and minds that would be so great if it was just like a bunch of close-ups on his dick shaking around oh my god just actually trying to kill the people who were upset about this thrusting at the camera like this yeah yes yes it'll be me and john ham at home just happy as shit like hell yeah this is my dad i'm just like hey man i had to open that door for people to bust it open he does like uh me and letty cravins the gyration and then it just does that like zoom pool thing from Hitchcock movies and like

jaws where it like seems like the background is going away as you're getting closer to it. And then it's just that for 45 minutes. Somehow you get that Dolly Zoo. Dolly Zoom is the word. Thank you, Miles. All right. Speaking to the world of film.

It was recently reported that a woman in her 60s tragically died on Disneyland's haunted mansion ride. The cause of death is yet to be revealed. But this does fly in the face of a long term, urban legend, that people are not allowed to die. No one dies at Disneyland, other than the souls of exhausted parents, because the people of Disney will immediately whisk anyone in need

of medical help away so that they can be declared dead in some hospital and not in the happiest place on Earth, because that would be a bummer. So, obviously, legend's not true. Even before the Haunted Mansion incident, there have been many documented deaths at Disneyland, including a plane crash in the Epcot parking lot in 1984. Damn. I feel like that would have been hard for them to just be like... Yeah, you can't whisk that away, right? You can't just be like, no, no, no, no. That was a ride.

That was a ride. That was a ride. And as we've covered on this show, last year, a doctor suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant. Despite having told the restaurant that they, you know, allegedly telling the restaurant that they had a food allergy. And

when in the wrongful death lawsuit, Disney attempted to wriggle out of that by citing Disney Plus's terms and conditions. Yeah, yeah. You'd be like, sorry, you agree to this term in condition from Disney Plus that says we're allowed to kill you. So this is, seems like a straightforward, like, debunking story. And then our writer, J.M., is like, seemingly these rumors stemmed from the first ever

homicide that occurred in the park. In 1981, a woman was pinched at a private party, leading her boyfriend to attack the guy he thought did it and ended up stabbing him at the submarine voyage ride. Security found the guy bleeding to death, but instead of calling 911, they threw him in a Disneyland van with no siren and drove him to a hospital

and Garden Grove, even though two trauma centers, which were better equipped to handle a stabbing, were missed. And everybody was like, what the fuck did you do that for? And I think basically they found that it was because they were worried that paramedics would spoil the magic of other guests. So it's, it is, it did start with basically what we're talking about.

Yeah. I mean, I would ask for a refund. The way I would ask for a refund immediately, because it's already so expensive. I'm like, I saw somebody fall down. I need a refund, man. I can't deal with this. The fucking magic has been ruined, man. Well, especially if we saw somebody get stabbed, you're like, a submarine voyage.

I did not know, included shanking. Yeah, right, exactly. Okay. So, we're glad that you've enjoyed our evening of entertainment, but we have to get Captain Jack Sparrow out of here. Sorry. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, giving new meaning to the phrase stuck in line.

The fuck are they doing. Watch out now. The family of the victim filed a wrongful death suit against Disney for $60 million. They won the case, but only got $600,000 for some reason. What the fuck? That is so wild, man. That's a very wild disparaging between 60 million and 600K. That's a huge difference.

It's got a bit of a discount. You know what I mean? We threw some sweeteners in. We said they can go to Club 33 next time they come back to the murder scene. Right. Yeah. Security guards rushed to the scene and found Yorba bleeding to death. According to media reports,

Yorba may have been bleeding for as long as 20 minutes before a consequential decision was made. Instead of calling 911, Yorba was picked up and put into a Disneyland van, accompanied by two security guards and the nurse. The nurse? Without light, sirens, or even life-saving. It was just a daffy duck in a nurse costume. Without even life-saving equipment,

the van drove through city streets to a hospital and Garden Grove, two trauma centers, which were better equipped to handle a stabbing, were missed. See, I wonder if this, though, is, like, related to race. Do you know what I'm saying?

Like, we're talking 80s. We're talking Orange County. We're talking, you know, there was a lot of prominent gain activity going around. You know, you guys remember the movie colors, colors, colors, colors. Colors. Colors. Like, I feel like. Color within Disneyland.

It was in Disneyland. You know, it's actually based on historic beef between Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, who I know from different universes, but that's what I'm talking about, white dog, black duck. You know what I'm saying? They're from different universes now. Absolutely. But no, I wonder about that, right? Where they're like, no, we can't have gang activity.

We can't have somebody bleeding. We can't have a violent. death, but they're like chokings. No, all right. Old lady has a heart attack. All right. All right. I mean, nobody wants to have violence at their park.

It does make it seem a little spooky, as they noted in their press release about the event. No, they didn't. All right. Yeah, this is so, it's so grim, but again, it's like, this makes so much sense, too, that they're like, I don't give a fuck about this person. I'm talking about my business. Like, I can't have people.

fucking expiring on the knowing about that shit put disappear this person into a van and deal with it off site the American way that's right make it go away make it go away. Dang damn all right

I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from smartless media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tell about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there. who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing.

They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying, like, oh, God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.
