I do. 00:03:45.670 --> 00:03:49.770 I know more songs. I've let's put it this way. 00:03:50.030 --> 00:03:55.730 I am more likely if you mention a song to have heard the song than if you mention 00:03:55.730 --> 00:03:57.630 a movie to have watched the movie. 00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.770 Interesting. I'll tell you one thing today. say that because look. 00:04:01.770 --> 00:04:06.390 A movie is like a two-hour commitment a song is like a two-minute commitment 00:04:06.390 --> 00:04:10.430 you know i could deal with that maybe three. 00:04:10.430 --> 00:04:13.570 No yeah yeah no i sure sure and 00:04:13.570 --> 00:04:18.530 i and you know one of the things that used to happen like a lot before i don't 00:04:18.530 --> 00:04:24.010 see this happening as much is that you went to a lot of places and they were 00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:31.030 playing music there there there seems to be less places that just play music, 00:04:31.270 --> 00:04:33.570 you know, you. 00:04:33.570 --> 00:04:36.670 Mean like background music when you're in a store, that kind of thing? 00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:40.010 Like, well, well, I guess one thing is like. 00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:42.590 Cause I, I hear background music when I'm out. 00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:48.950 But not like the top 40, you know, it's seems like more. 00:04:49.030 --> 00:04:52.750 It's like, well, have you looked at the actual top 40 lately? 00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:54.670 Like there's a lot of swearing and stuff. 00:04:54.790 --> 00:05:00.730 I don't even know what they are. Well, that's my point. so they don't play that anymore i. 00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:03.470 Don't know the billboard one is. 00:05:03.470 --> 00:05:06.250 There i i don't even i i look look here. 00:05:06.250 --> 00:05:12.270 But but on uh here you go here you go in apple's music app okay if you go to 00:05:12.270 --> 00:05:17.450 the browse menu and scroll down uh-huh uh-huh you have to scroll down a little 00:05:17.450 --> 00:05:21.670 bit then they have the top hundred global top hundred usa and then pick your 00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:24.130 country you can see the top hundred songs, 00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:29.110 are updated daily and this is by apple music stream let. 00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:34.150 Me see it's now the billboard top 100 well let's see so to be more broad is 00:05:34.150 --> 00:05:38.490 that it's just apple i don't know since that's not i mean it is a big app but 00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:39.610 it's not all encompassing. 00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:44.050 Well of course spotify has similar right right right spotify is something they're 00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:47.170 all big enough that they're probably going to be pretty similar i like apple 00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:50.970 they get they have the global list too where billboards us but yeah Yeah, go ahead. 00:05:51.410 --> 00:05:53.650 They've got UK charts and stuff too, but go ahead. 00:05:53.930 --> 00:05:59.170 I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. I will say, holy shit, I don't recognize any of these songs. 00:05:59.750 --> 00:06:06.130 I mean, let's see. Number one on the Billboard Hot 100, I Had Some Help. 00:06:06.530 --> 00:06:08.370 Do you know what the artist is for that one? 00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:12.490 Well, because I'm looking at it. It's by Post Malone. It's number three on... 00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:13.730 Well, it's cheating. 00:06:14.770 --> 00:06:18.810 It's on the Apple... It's number three on the Apple Global list today. 00:06:19.330 --> 00:06:22.830 Okay, let's see. And then there was an artist called Sabrina Carpenter I never 00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:25.530 heard of that has a number two and number three. 00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:26.790 I've heard of her. 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:29.450 Please, please, please. Probably shit. 00:06:29.510 --> 00:06:29.750 Yeah. 00:06:29.830 --> 00:06:31.130 And espresso. Okay. 00:06:31.210 --> 00:06:32.510 Yeah. That's the number two. Yeah. 00:06:32.950 --> 00:06:35.170 I, I, again, I am looking at the list. 00:06:35.590 --> 00:06:39.890 Okay. I heard a Kendrick Lamar and I've heard of Eminem. Okay. Who's on here? 00:06:40.170 --> 00:06:44.930 Well, I think the one thing, well, here, here's one thing. Yes. In the past. 00:06:45.250 --> 00:06:48.750 I, and this was something that a lot of people did listen to. 00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:52.110 I mean, this had a broad audience. You had America's top four. 00:06:52.370 --> 00:06:52.770 Yeah. 00:06:53.070 --> 00:06:57.350 You know, Casey case of that show. You know, I mean, even if you were, 00:06:57.390 --> 00:07:03.110 you know, music disinterested, it's one of those things that would be playing 00:07:03.110 --> 00:07:05.990 everywhere because it was on the radio. You were in the car. 00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:10.870 We didn't have, you know, most people listen to whatever the hell was on the radio. 00:07:11.010 --> 00:07:14.750 So we all heard that. So you've heard more songs and apparently you remember them. 00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:19.030 Well, yeah, I remember a lot of songs. I mean, like, well, the one that's been 00:07:19.030 --> 00:07:24.150 shooting up the charts lately and I know because of Like it's all over TikTok. 00:07:24.530 --> 00:07:27.090 Do you know a bar song by Shabuzy? 00:07:28.610 --> 00:07:29.450 No, no. 00:07:29.550 --> 00:07:34.050 See, you are so out of it. That's been like hot for at least a week now. Maybe two. 00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:38.310 I, I, I realized that the other day as I pulled the list of my top, 00:07:38.330 --> 00:07:43.070 like 50 songs that whatever the hell I listened to, nobody else listens to. 00:07:43.470 --> 00:07:45.190 And these are not, and these are new. 00:07:45.330 --> 00:07:49.930 Well, a bar song by Shabuzy. Here's the thing. It is country rap. 00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:51.890 Whatever the hell that means. 00:07:52.630 --> 00:07:55.890 So yeah, listen to it. It's a good song. It's a good song. anyway 00:07:55.890 --> 00:08:01.030 like i've added it to my apple music library but no but my point was and the 00:08:01.030 --> 00:08:03.810 reason i like the apple list i don't know the list you're doing may have this 00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:09.110 too but apple has the little e next to ones that are explicit so like right 00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:13.210 now on the global 100 list if i look at the top 10, 00:08:14.010 --> 00:08:20.930 seven of the top 10 have the e for explicit lyrics and so like and they're just 00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:25.830 lots of like number And the top five, all of them, all of the top five. 00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:30.470 And so you are talking about things you hear when you're like out in stores 00:08:30.470 --> 00:08:34.970 or whatever, like most of them aren't going to go with the explicit lyrics. 00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:40.630 Right. You're not. Exactly. Well, it's like the complaint I just saw. 00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:45.950 You know, now most like a large number of people at this point are no longer 00:08:45.950 --> 00:08:48.290 offended by explicit lyrics. 00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:52.170 That's why they're in the top 10 here. but like if you're running a grocery 00:08:52.170 --> 00:08:58.030 store you're not gonna have the one where the guy's just screaming swear words all the time. 00:08:58.030 --> 00:09:03.450 You don't want somebody going saying we're gonna fuck that bitch, 00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:08.350 you're like all of a sudden at the store you're like what yeah it's like because 00:09:08.350 --> 00:09:12.190 songs will say that kind of stuff i'm like you know so yeah so it's like not 00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:16.110 exactly what you want in the store And so it brings me, you know, 00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:19.290 I guess to talk about my, whatchamacallit thing. 00:09:19.410 --> 00:09:21.050 Your actual choice of topic for today? 00:09:21.570 --> 00:09:27.150 Yeah, yeah. You know, Donald Sutherland died. Okay. 00:09:27.150 --> 00:09:27.730 Okay, yeah. 00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:34.610 And so it brought, you know, listen, even though it was such a small, 00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:38.450 small bit part, okay, in that movie. 00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:45.770 The movie that I remember him most for, or most fondly for, is Kentucky Fried Movie. 00:09:46.190 --> 00:09:52.570 See, never seen it. I know a bar song by Shabuzy, but I don't even know if I've 00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:54.130 even heard of a Kentucky Fried Movie. 00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:59.550 I mean, I think I have. I couldn't tell you anything about it that wasn't speculation. 00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:04.290 I assume from the title it's a comedy, and it's a parody of some sort. 00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:09.770 It's a it's it's a comedy it's a comedy and they parody quite a lot of things 00:10:09.770 --> 00:10:13.150 you know it's just it's it's a 00:10:13.150 --> 00:10:17.710 it's a comedy from the 70s of course and it parodies quite a lot of things. 00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:21.970 And one of the things about the movie is that it 00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:25.170 did have quite a lot of explicit stuff okay all 00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:28.710 right i mean there was there was there 00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:31.630 was a whole thing i mean for example 00:10:31.630 --> 00:10:34.630 there was there was this whole 00:10:34.630 --> 00:10:37.610 thing uh they had this they did these 00:10:37.610 --> 00:10:40.630 movie promos okay all right and they 00:10:40.630 --> 00:10:43.950 were parodying movies from the time okay okay one 00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:48.030 of them one of them was there was this movie called armageddon which in the 00:10:48.030 --> 00:10:53.190 70s you had all these disaster movies for some reason yep i don't know what 00:10:53.190 --> 00:10:59.690 that like towering inferno and earthquake and the airplane series you know which 00:10:59.690 --> 00:11:02.550 i mean you You know, I mean, not the airplane, airport, 00:11:02.750 --> 00:11:06.650 because airplane made fun of airport movies. 00:11:06.870 --> 00:11:12.010 OK, and so you had all of these. So they were parodying a lot of this stuff. 00:11:12.130 --> 00:11:15.910 I can't remember what movie they were parodying, but there was one that was 00:11:15.910 --> 00:11:18.830 Catholic high school church girls in trouble. 00:11:18.950 --> 00:11:23.490 OK, and there was some explicit sex in that at that scene. 00:11:23.490 --> 00:11:28.970 And so one of the things is that the movie is available supposedly for free 00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:36.130 in YouTube, but I noticed that the the the one available on YouTube. 00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:40.260 Is a heavily edited version. Okay. All right. Yeah. 00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:48.000 You know, which, because I, if I remember that they did do a cut of that movie, 00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:54.020 heavily edited, that took out a lot of the explicit stuff. Okay. Okay. 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.340 Yes. 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:02.640 But the reality is, I mean, it made it not be very funny once you took all account, all of that. 00:12:03.140 --> 00:12:04.380 Yeah, I can imagine. 00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:07.200 Imagine so so yeah i i get 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.020 the whole thing with like a store whatever it did people and 00:12:10.020 --> 00:12:12.940 there were a lot of people on youtube oh this is youtube 00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:16.600 censorship and i'm like you morons this was 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.500 actually there was a a cut from the 00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:23.280 damn studio because you know 00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:26.280 look you're a studio and you want to sell this right and yeah 00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:29.720 and you know you you put it out theaters and 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.980 stuff but you also want to try to put it on television somewhere well 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:36.400 you know you need a you need 00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:39.300 one that's a clean version just like the 00:12:39.300 --> 00:12:44.320 songs or whatever so you know they made one that was a a clean version and i'm 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.220 sure that was like a lot cheaper than the other one because i i believe that 00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:52.080 i couldn't find it and it were online and i bought a dvd of it which i have 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:57.640 here which is weird and i i i have I have some DVDs of some obscure movies like that, 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.020 that for whatever the hell reason, 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.520 I liked, and they were tough to get. 00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:09.360 That one, yeah, it's on, but it's, you know, they have that clean editor. 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.380 I haven't looked for a different version, but that movie, some friends of mine 00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:17.820 from high school, we thought it was hilarious. So we always... 00:13:19.290 --> 00:13:22.870 Had fun with with the clips from that movie, and there was just this dumb clip 00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:27.490 in it where they got some big time actors in the movie, for example. 00:13:27.650 --> 00:13:31.210 Now, I mean, they got like Bill Bixby was in the movie, which back then Bill 00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:33.510 Bixby was big from being in The Incredible Hulk. 00:13:33.530 --> 00:13:33.930 Right, right. 00:13:33.990 --> 00:13:38.650 Donald Sutherland was in the movie. But the thing is, Donald Sutherland was 00:13:38.650 --> 00:13:42.730 in the movie for, I mean, not even a minute. 00:13:42.730 --> 00:13:46.590 it okay and that's the thing so donald 00:13:46.590 --> 00:13:49.490 sutherland was in the movie they were doing this this this 00:13:49.490 --> 00:13:52.750 bit of calling it that's our the movie that's armageddon 00:13:52.750 --> 00:13:55.730 which they were making fun of all the disaster movies and in 00:13:55.730 --> 00:14:00.450 it for whatever reason donald sutherland is the clumsy waiter and he comes out 00:14:00.450 --> 00:14:05.430 without with a cake for birthday and he falls and smashes his face into the 00:14:05.430 --> 00:14:10.730 cake and for whatever reason that's in the promo for the movie and so all they 00:14:10.730 --> 00:14:13.310 say is donald Old Sutherland as the clumsy waiter. 00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:16.450 He comes out, just falls straight into a cake. 00:14:16.730 --> 00:14:19.570 That's about as cheap a comedy as you can get. 00:14:19.710 --> 00:14:23.270 It's just, hey, let me just throw a pie in the guy's face, which, 00:14:23.350 --> 00:14:25.350 you know, we're a cake in this case. 00:14:25.550 --> 00:14:25.990 Okay. 00:14:26.130 --> 00:14:33.130 And so I don't know why that to me was all, it was just so absurd that he took 00:14:33.130 --> 00:14:38.790 his time to go and participate in a movie simply for that little bit, 00:14:39.430 --> 00:14:43.670 that I just always found it amusing. And so he passed away this week. 00:14:44.070 --> 00:14:49.690 And so I was reminded of that damn movie, you know, which is. 00:14:50.030 --> 00:14:52.450 Which unfortunately is now going to be on my list. 00:14:52.830 --> 00:14:55.170 Ah, good, good, good, good. 00:14:55.570 --> 00:15:00.230 Because it's been mentioned on this show. So it has to be. That's a rule. 00:15:00.650 --> 00:15:04.410 You know, we've had a whole bunch of like, I mean, I, you know, 00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:09.110 the other movie that I wound up getting that I couldn't find anywhere is this 00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:13.910 movie, the Sean Connery movie called Wrong is Right. 00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:17.130 Okay. I also have not heard of that. 00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:21.670 I think I may have mentioned this movie. The movie actually, 00:15:23.260 --> 00:15:32.980 It is a, is a, is they are making a prelude of the future of elections and the news, 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.060 which I will tell you back then it seemed completely absurd. 00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:43.500 And now it's like, it's the same thing as when we were watching house of cards 00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.780 at the absurdity. And all of a sudden we're like, fuck, you know, we're beating fucking. 00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:51.800 Which of course, as I previewed last week will be my topic when Yvonne is done here. 00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:54.700 So yeah so so we've got 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:57.860 i mean wrong is right it's he is 00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:01.100 a a tv reporter and i don't 00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:03.880 know we've got a terrorist plot with two atom bombs but the 00:16:03.880 --> 00:16:06.840 one thing is how they make fun of how 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.060 the news is entertained okay and 00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:12.780 and that in the future that's how news is going to 00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:16.220 be and how the political candidates you 00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:19.340 know handle stuff it was i 00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:22.860 found it i i thought it's interesting this movie did 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:29.600 not perform well at the box office and i i believe it has a pretty bad review 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:36.820 but but yeah but but i i for some reason liked it and got it and so if it's 00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:40.080 not on your list then you can add wrong is right okay i. 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.080 Want to do one more exercise returning to music for a second before we. 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.720 Yeah yeah so so. 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:50.260 That we're looking at the same list actually open up your music app and go to 00:16:50.260 --> 00:16:52.940 that global top 100 list that i described how to get to. 00:16:52.940 --> 00:17:04.260 All right let me let me go let me go okay hold on itunes there here we go okay we see the top songs go. 00:17:04.260 --> 00:17:07.660 To browse and then scroll down to global top 100. 00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:11.620 I'll go to browse and then go to. 00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:17.830 You have to go down a little daily top 100 city charts. 00:17:17.870 --> 00:17:19.470 Daily top 100. 00:17:19.690 --> 00:17:20.970 Oh, there it is. 00:17:20.990 --> 00:17:21.690 Top 100 global. 00:17:21.830 --> 00:17:22.370 Yeah.

I have it in my iTunes library. Okay. 00:18:23.210 --> 00:18:23.650 Okay. 00:18:24.450 --> 00:18:29.750 Next one that comes up for me is number 10, Houdini, the new Eminem song. 00:18:29.990 --> 00:18:33.050 I have that. I have it in my library. I know what it is. 00:18:33.450 --> 00:18:35.290 Okay, I'm going down this list 00:18:35.290 --> 00:18:38.090 to see. I'm going through the whole top 100 to see if I know any of the. 00:18:38.090 --> 00:18:42.290 Top number 13, beautiful things by Benson Boone. 00:18:42.370 --> 00:18:52.450 I, the first ones I mentioned, I could like, you got one in the top 100 beautiful things. 00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:56.330 I don't actually remember it off the top of my head, but I see that I have added 00:18:56.330 --> 00:18:59.690 it to my iTunes library. So I must've heard it at least once and liked it. 00:18:59.970 --> 00:19:02.530 I recognize fortnight by Taylor Swift. 00:19:03.390 --> 00:19:09.410 I have heard, recognize, and have added to my library Lunch by Billie Eilish. 00:19:10.310 --> 00:19:15.110 The next one up, I think I would recognize if I heard it, Cruel Summer by Taylor 00:19:15.110 --> 00:19:17.190 Swift, but I have not added it to my library. 00:19:17.790 --> 00:19:22.690 Last Night by Morgan Wallen. I have added to my library. I don't remember. 00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:24.250 How many are you up to now? 00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:27.170 You're supposed to be counting for me. I don't know. 00:19:27.290 --> 00:19:27.810 I don't know. 00:19:28.470 --> 00:19:30.770 That's the last one. Okay, let me do that again. 00:19:31.130 --> 00:19:31.770 That's a lot. 00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:41.370 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. 00:19:41.690 --> 00:19:45.790 I recognize seven and five of them were actually in my iTunes library. 00:19:46.290 --> 00:19:48.750 Wow. Okay. So that's out of the top 100? 00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:50.350 Out of the top 25. 00:19:50.610 --> 00:19:56.170 A top 25. You're at a top 25, seven. Okay. So look, I just went through the top 100. 00:19:57.690 --> 00:20:05.070 I recognize one. And the only reason I recognize this is because it became... 00:20:05.070 --> 00:20:06.010 Okay, which one is it? 00:20:06.090 --> 00:20:11.230 It is number 57, which is Fast Car by Luke Combs. 00:20:11.470 --> 00:20:14.050 Right, right. I've got that in my library. 00:20:14.290 --> 00:20:19.210 But the only reason I know this was because of this whole thing that happened with... 00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:20.470 With Tracy Chapman. 00:20:20.470 --> 00:20:24.330 With Tracy Chapman. That's it. If that hadn't happened... 00:20:24.330 --> 00:20:26.690 Because, of course, it was a remake. 00:20:26.850 --> 00:20:29.110 It was her song. It's a remake. 00:20:29.110 --> 00:20:36.430 It was a cover of a Tracy Chapman song, and they performed it together at the Grammys or something. 00:20:36.750 --> 00:20:43.890 Right. And that's the only reason I know that song, because if it wasn't for 00:20:43.890 --> 00:20:48.170 that, that it made the news, I would have been 0 for 100. 00:20:48.750 --> 00:20:51.550 I mean, completely. Holy shit. 00:20:51.930 --> 00:20:56.190 One of my cousins was housemates with Tracy Chapman in college. 00:20:56.650 --> 00:20:58.270 Wow. Cool. 00:20:58.270 --> 00:21:04.990 My my three degrees of separation or whatever the hell from or i guess it's two from two sure, 00:21:05.610 --> 00:21:10.130 yeah so anyway now this actually is relevant to like a discussion that happened 00:21:10.130 --> 00:21:15.110 under curmudgeon slash slack because i shared a graph of like how most people's 00:21:15.110 --> 00:21:20.730 musical tastes ebb and flow with age that basically shows that like most people 00:21:20.730 --> 00:21:25.050 and yvonne was like not me but most people are most 00:21:25.270 --> 00:21:27.670 fond of the music. 00:21:27.770 --> 00:21:32.510 What? Basically, but not me. I pulled out the list. That's what it showed. 00:21:32.670 --> 00:21:36.210 What the hell you want? Well, you're saying it like I said it without any data. 00:21:36.250 --> 00:21:41.290 Look, I pulled up the fucking list and that's what the fucking list showed. What do you want me to do? 00:21:41.470 --> 00:21:47.330 Anyway, the point was like for most people, the music they remember most fondly 00:21:47.330 --> 00:21:51.530 and think is the best music comes from roughly, uh, 00:21:52.310 --> 00:21:55.630 from when they were older children up until 00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:59.130 the late teens maybe early 20s that's 00:21:59.130 --> 00:22:02.270 the peak and before that and after that 00:22:02.270 --> 00:22:06.190 like they basically most people don't like any music from before they were born 00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:12.870 or from after they were 25 you know basically and like we all like compared 00:22:12.870 --> 00:22:18.150 our apple music libraries and we're like look i've got lots of things that weren't 00:22:18.150 --> 00:22:19.770 in those age ages you know but. 00:22:19.770 --> 00:22:22.490 Well i i i guess my whole thing is 00:22:22.490 --> 00:22:25.470 just that i i i just i'm i don't know 00:22:25.470 --> 00:22:28.370 i for whatever the hell reason whatever is the 00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:32.310 music that i mostly listen to it doesn't mean that i don't like songs from like 00:22:32.310 --> 00:22:40.050 the 80s and 90s it's just that it's not what i mostly listen to um right you 00:22:40.050 --> 00:22:44.730 know and i and i look that most of the stuff that i listen to is a lot newer 00:22:44.730 --> 00:22:46.910 than that But apparently. 00:22:46.910 --> 00:22:50.070 Not top 2024 music. 00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:55.250 But it's not top it, but it's not, but it's not top. 00:22:56.110 --> 00:23:02.250 It's newer, but it's not top 100. Like none of the artists I listened to are popular. 00:23:03.310 --> 00:23:03.750 Good. 00:23:04.510 --> 00:23:08.710 Well, well, I, I, well, I mean, I guess most people don't think they're good. 00:23:08.850 --> 00:23:11.770 I guess I, I just, I don't know. 00:23:12.030 --> 00:23:15.750 Let's see. What are the top 25 in Miami? I wonder, you know, 00:23:15.750 --> 00:23:20.230 I'm looking at regionally if it's like that, that different. 00:23:20.390 --> 00:23:24.630 I mean, I don't know. Let me see if there's anything I recognize more from like, 00:23:24.630 --> 00:23:26.410 oh, there's a Bad Bunny song. 00:23:26.790 --> 00:23:30.610 I don't even. OK, I know. OK, I know the artist. I don't know that song. 00:23:31.010 --> 00:23:33.010 I don't really listen to Bad Bunny. OK. 00:23:33.850 --> 00:23:37.910 Let's see. Top 25 songs in Miami. Do I recognize any of them? 00:23:38.090 --> 00:23:40.390 Let's see. All right, here we go. There's another test. 00:23:40.850 --> 00:23:49.430 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, for 25 again. Holy fuck. 00:23:50.010 --> 00:23:53.490 Good job. You see, see now one of the things I have been doing lately. 00:23:54.030 --> 00:24:00.290 Well, first of all, most of the newest things I, I, I, I'm on tech talk a bunch until they ban it. 00:24:00.290 --> 00:24:03.070 and like if a song is trending on tiktok i 00:24:03.070 --> 00:24:05.950 probably hear it and if i like it i add it to my music library 00:24:05.950 --> 00:24:09.770 so like the the bar song thing and the 00:24:09.770 --> 00:24:13.130 the new eminem were both really hot 00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:16.510 on tiktok over the last few weeks okay so that that's 00:24:16.510 --> 00:24:19.730 why i know them but like also like 00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:22.590 of my i i just like just 00:24:22.590 --> 00:24:25.730 like i have for movies and books i 00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:28.770 of course have a very regimented system to decide what music 00:24:28.770 --> 00:24:34.770 to listen to and one of the things i choose randomly from are the the global 00:24:34.770 --> 00:24:38.630 and u.s top 100 lists here just to force myself to listen to some of the new 00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:41.910 stuff and every once in a while i hear something i like and i add it although 00:24:41.910 --> 00:24:45.930 i must admit i don't like most of it but go ahead okay. 00:24:45.930 --> 00:24:51.970 So but now here's the one thing i think it has to do also i'm somebody that really likes edm music. 00:24:52.490 --> 00:24:58.430 And there had been a surge of new EDM music in the last 20 years. 00:24:59.410 --> 00:25:05.270 And I noticed that I went to the top EDM list and I actually know number one, 00:25:05.310 --> 00:25:09.570 number two, number... All of a sudden, on that list, I know a whole bunch of them. 00:25:10.070 --> 00:25:12.170 Mm-hmm. On the EDM list. 00:25:12.770 --> 00:25:16.530 On the EDM list, yes. I realized that, oh yeah, I know that one. 00:25:16.610 --> 00:25:18.630 Oh yeah, I know that one. Oh yeah, I'm like, all of a sudden, 00:25:18.650 --> 00:25:20.650 yeah. But those aren't really... 00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:24.200 popular right yeah i mean there was a there was a 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.960 burst of like edm being popular like pop 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:31.160 songs and some artists becoming whatever like it said years ago and then i'll 00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:36.180 that i'll you know kind of like uh yeah i mean i i know i'm looking at this 00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:41.160 list top songs oh i know these people oh i know this i'm looking at this i i'm 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:46.720 looking at this oh i know all these so so so so that's that's That's interesting. 00:25:46.860 --> 00:25:52.420 So I guess it's really has to do with, with I, one of the things that with what's 00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:54.620 made it easier that we have digital, 00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:59.580 you know, excess of accessibility to downloads is that basically I've managed 00:25:59.580 --> 00:26:05.720 to do like, I guess just, just isolate myself from all this other music that 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.560 I really don't want to hear. 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.320 You just get whatever you want. And like with music subscriptions at this point, 00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:15.440 regardless of like it, it apparently Like it's not good for the artists. 00:26:15.540 --> 00:26:18.040 Like they just don't get paid all that much for streaming. 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:25.080 But from the point of view of, you know, the consumer, you pay a monthly fee 00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:29.860 and you get access to everything with no ads and whatever. Pretty much. 00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:35.120 Well, I heard that it was like, so, you know, somebody was having a discussion 00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:38.600 recently about that and what I heard. It was pretty interesting. 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.500 I heard that Apple pays more per song than Spotify does. 00:26:42.580 --> 00:26:43.040 For example. 00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.940 Than spotify but what happens is that i guess a lot more 00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:49.020 people use spotify so artists get more money 00:26:49.020 --> 00:26:54.760 from spotify but it's because there's a lot more spotify users right so that's 00:26:54.760 --> 00:26:59.340 that's that was the one thing that i that i got but per song apple does pay 00:26:59.340 --> 00:27:05.000 more than spotify okay so that was the one thing that i that i that i noticed 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.820 uh but you know that it but but i i get it, 00:27:10.010 --> 00:27:13.290 I mean, I will say that I still buy songs occasionally. 00:27:13.970 --> 00:27:16.670 I have not bought a song in at least a decade. 00:27:17.250 --> 00:27:23.730 Oh, God, no. Come on. No, I definitely have purchased songs far more recently than that. Let me check. 00:27:23.970 --> 00:27:28.550 Well, I don't know. Let me let me let me. I don't know when I don't know. 00:27:28.650 --> 00:27:32.130 Like, when did Apple Music launch their streaming service? 00:27:32.270 --> 00:27:35.070 Because that's basically the last day I bought a song. 00:27:35.550 --> 00:27:39.770 Before that, I was buying both from both from Amazon and from Apple. 00:27:39.770 --> 00:27:44.830 I bought music and of course before that I bought CDs but like but but. 00:27:44.830 --> 00:27:48.970 Okay let's see you know I got out now is something something else to look up 00:27:48.970 --> 00:27:50.490 but since Apple music actually. 00:27:50.490 --> 00:27:55.570 Started the streaming service I I just do that like. 00:27:56.950 --> 00:28:06.110 Music service okay let's see it was launched drumroll okay you want to take a guess the. 00:28:06.110 --> 00:28:07.310 Last time you bought a song. 00:28:07.310 --> 00:28:10.430 No no no no one was When it was launched. 00:28:10.890 --> 00:28:12.590 I don't know when Apple Music launched. 00:28:13.090 --> 00:28:14.230 I do have the answer. 00:28:15.070 --> 00:28:15.450 2014. 00:28:16.230 --> 00:28:17.670 You're close. 2015. 00:28:18.630 --> 00:28:19.010 Okay. 00:28:19.090 --> 00:28:23.010 Very close.

Come on. 00:30:23.360 --> 00:30:30.420 Anyway, I found the last song I purchased and just looked up that song. It was July 31st, 2016. 00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:35.320 And know what? It was a special reason that I purchased that song. 00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:39.620 It was when I made the Ray Lynch promo for this show. 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:41.600 So what day was that again? 00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:44.000 July 31st, 2016. 00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.200 Wow. 00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:52.000 And I did that because, like, We were talking to Ray Lynch's wife about getting 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.860 official permission to use his songs at the beginning and end of the show. 00:30:56.900 --> 00:31:01.580 And she said, fine, just include a promo and credit and whatever. 00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:05.180 And so I made that promo that's still in rotation here. I promised to have it 00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:07.840 in our rotation of promos as long as we're using the songs. 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.220 And in order to build that promo. 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.840 You have to get the song. 00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:18.860 I bought every single Ray Lynch album so that I could pick one song from every 00:31:18.860 --> 00:31:23.100 album to include in that promo and that and that's when and that was what this 00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:27.700 purchase was because not all of it was available to stream and even if it was 00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:30.320 I probably would have bought it anyway because they were being nice to us so 00:31:30.320 --> 00:31:32.460 like by their music you know well. 00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:34.880 They were being very they were being extremely nice with us. 00:31:35.530 --> 00:31:38.950 So everybody buy Ray Lynch music. If you haven't already. 00:31:39.430 --> 00:31:42.530 Yes, definitely buy Ray Lynch music by. 00:31:42.530 --> 00:31:43.430 All of his albums. 00:31:43.930 --> 00:31:45.230 All of them and. 00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:48.850 Listen to them over and over again on streaming over and over. 00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:51.130 Over and over. Just, just, just put them on repeat. 00:31:51.830 --> 00:31:53.610 So are we done with the music? 00:31:54.030 --> 00:32:00.790 I don't know. Are we, why is this thing refusing to do what I am asking it to do? 00:32:01.570 --> 00:32:05.410 Okay. So do you know what song was the last one you did? and now you're searching for the song? 00:32:06.210 --> 00:32:09.730 Okay, here we go. Yeah, hold on. So if you know what song. 00:32:09.830 --> 00:32:16.450 Go in library menu, songs, then you can sort that list alphabetically, find the song. 00:32:16.950 --> 00:32:19.910 Okay, it looks like it was May 8th, 2023. 00:32:20.890 --> 00:32:21.290 Okay. 00:32:21.770 --> 00:32:23.090 Okay, so it was one year. 00:32:23.210 --> 00:32:24.350 Much more recently than mine. 00:32:24.630 --> 00:32:29.490 Yeah. Yes. There you go. That's what it's looking like, yes. 00:32:30.010 --> 00:32:31.170 Now are we done with music? 00:32:31.650 --> 00:32:32.890 Probably. Maybe. 00:32:32.890 --> 00:32:37.270 Maybe we will never listen to another song in our lives. We're done with it. 00:32:37.470 --> 00:32:39.110 I doubt that's the case. 00:32:39.490 --> 00:32:40.010 Okay. 00:32:40.170 --> 00:32:43.310 Well, unless we get annihilated now today. 00:32:43.410 --> 00:32:44.790 Let's try not to. 00:32:44.990 --> 00:32:48.590 I would be great. You know, I'm trying to avoid that. 00:32:49.250 --> 00:32:56.210 Okay. As promised, I finished a TV show and it was the American version of house of cards. 00:32:56.670 --> 00:33:00.990 I finished all six seasons of it before I talk about this. 00:33:01.050 --> 00:33:04.710 So let me, Let me ask a question about this. So did we all just, 00:33:04.810 --> 00:33:10.210 was it like a massive group of people like, like us, we just all of a sudden 00:33:10.210 --> 00:33:14.930 there was somewhere along that house of cards, which is what just said, ah, forget it. 00:33:15.510 --> 00:33:20.330 Well, what happened to me is I caught up with the present in house of cards. 00:33:20.330 --> 00:33:23.370 And according to my system, that meant it fell out of my rotation. 00:33:23.750 --> 00:33:26.830 And then it only came back on my rotation a couple of years ago. 00:33:27.530 --> 00:33:28.650 Okay. Interesting. 00:33:29.150 --> 00:33:33.650 Yeah, because I caught up to the present. So I moved it off my current list 00:33:33.650 --> 00:33:38.570 onto a backup list to come back to when I had an opening in my rotation, 00:33:38.830 --> 00:33:43.290 which took several years for it for me to get an opening and for me to pick 00:33:43.290 --> 00:33:46.630 randomly out of my list of backlog items to go back to House of Cards. 00:33:46.630 --> 00:33:49.330 okay um but before i get 00:33:49.330 --> 00:33:52.370 into my review of the american house of cards series 00:33:52.370 --> 00:33:55.470 let me put in a plug for the british house 00:33:55.470 --> 00:34:00.510 of cards series that it was based on yeah and it actually the way they it's 00:34:00.510 --> 00:34:05.750 actually listed like if you look on wikipedia it's separate shows that were 00:34:05.750 --> 00:34:12.370 sequels of each other house of cards then to play the king then final cut each 00:34:12.370 --> 00:34:13.990 of which was essentially a four 00:34:14.070 --> 00:34:19.130 -episode miniseries, but I considered them sort of as seasons of the British 00:34:19.130 --> 00:34:23.310 House of Cards because they follow one after another with the same characters. 00:34:23.450 --> 00:34:26.450 It's really seasons of a show. They just called it something different there. 00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:28.510 They called it three different miniseries. 00:34:28.730 --> 00:34:35.830 Anyway, the British version of House of Cards and To Play the King and Final Cut, excellent series. 00:34:36.390 --> 00:34:41.290 So if you've only watched the American one, you should pull out the British version two. 00:34:41.290 --> 00:34:45.190 it was the three seasons were 1990 1993 00:34:45.190 --> 00:34:47.950 and 1995 so a little 00:34:47.950 --> 00:34:53.530 older than this and of course that was the whole thing was based on a book from 00:34:53.530 --> 00:34:59.610 1989 okay but i have not read the book so i cannot speak to the book but the 00:34:59.610 --> 00:35:05.390 british series is excellent go watch the british series it it is different than the american one is. 00:35:05.390 --> 00:35:10.550 It okay is is it better than the american one in your opinion They. 00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:15.290 Are very different. If I could only pick one to watch. 00:35:15.610 --> 00:35:16.290 Yeah. Yeah. 00:35:17.100 --> 00:35:17.780 The British one. 00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:19.600 Okay. So there you have it. 00:35:20.120 --> 00:35:23.560 But it's been many, many years since I watched the British one. 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.580 Like basically when the American one came out, I said, okay, 00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:30.260 I'm going to watch the American one, but I have to watch the British one first. 00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:31.180 Okay. 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:36.880 So I probably, the American one started in, when did it start? 00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:43.340 Where are my years here? 2013. So I probably watched the British one around 2013, 2014. 00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:47.700 Okay. The British one. No, not the British one. The American one. 00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:53.340 Yeah. This is the one with Kevin Spacey. And a lot of people did stop watching. 00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:56.660 Like you were just saying, like it wasn't my situation because it was a little 00:35:56.660 --> 00:36:00.940 bit different, but I think there were two things that happened. 00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:06.780 One. Well, let's just, let's just get this off the bat. I think the first three 00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:08.620 seasons of house of cards were excellent. 00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:15.300 Fourth was. Eh. Okay. Five and six were utter crap. 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:16.660 Okay. Okay. 00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.000 So a lot of people were dropping off 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:23.080 because the quality started declining after the 00:36:23.080 --> 00:36:26.160 first three seasons anyway and then a lot more 00:36:26.160 --> 00:36:29.280 people dropped when kevin spacey got 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:36.580 into his sex scandal yeah and got fired right you know and and even like the 00:36:36.580 --> 00:36:42.460 the last i forget the exact timing but even people who had were still on kevin 00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:47.880 spacey seasons of house of he was in the first five only the The last one was out without him. 00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:51.680 A lot of people dropped off, you know, a couple of weeks ago with Pete, 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:58.720 I talked about sort of the whole notion of do you support and watch media that 00:36:58.720 --> 00:37:01.000 is done by people who are problematic? 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.480 And a lot of people dropped house of cards simply because it turns out Kevin Spacey was a dick. 00:37:07.410 --> 00:37:11.890 You know, I mean, he was out there sexually harassing young men. 00:37:12.790 --> 00:37:17.210 And now apparently allegedly. Well, he was acquitted. 00:37:17.530 --> 00:37:17.970 Right. 00:37:18.050 --> 00:37:21.250 He went to court and was acquitted. So like, well, okay. 00:37:21.250 --> 00:37:24.110 Listen, conviction doesn't mean that he didn't do it. Okay. 00:37:24.150 --> 00:37:24.890 No, it doesn't. 00:37:25.210 --> 00:37:28.770 And by the way, he recently gave an interview where he. 00:37:28.850 --> 00:37:34.110 He, uh, he cried about not having his house in Baltimore because it was possessed. It repossessed. 00:37:34.110 --> 00:37:38.410 Well, not that. That wasn't the part that I was focused on. 00:37:38.510 --> 00:37:41.990 I think I focused on the fact that even though he was acquitted, 00:37:42.270 --> 00:37:48.690 you know, one thing that I heard him say directly was that he feels, 00:37:48.850 --> 00:37:51.430 I don't know if it's, at least he expressed this. 00:37:51.490 --> 00:37:54.930 I'm not going to say that, I'm not going to parse whether it's truth or not. 00:37:54.930 --> 00:38:00.130 But what he was what he was saying was that it seems that he made a lot of people 00:38:00.130 --> 00:38:04.230 uncomfortable doing stuff that he felt that he felt bad about that. 00:38:04.830 --> 00:38:05.350 Yeah. 00:38:05.450 --> 00:38:10.530 And that he realizes that now. Now, look, I don't know if he's saying this for 00:38:10.530 --> 00:38:15.090 I mean, I can't judge whether he's being truthful or not. 00:38:15.090 --> 00:38:19.970 I'm just saying that unlike, because I've seen others that have done this kind 00:38:19.970 --> 00:38:23.590 of stuff and they will, you know, I never did anything wrong, 00:38:23.630 --> 00:38:28.630 like going down to the grave, but he actually got acquitted and he actually admitted that. 00:38:29.250 --> 00:38:34.550 Actually, just looking, I'm looking up the, so three charges were dismissed 00:38:34.550 --> 00:38:38.650 and the jury found him not guilty of the remaining nine charges. 00:38:38.650 --> 00:38:44.410 This was for charges in the UK of sexual assault against three people who complained. 00:38:44.670 --> 00:38:52.650 And there were earlier, there were allegations from lots more people than the 00:38:52.650 --> 00:38:54.090 ones that actually went to court. 00:38:54.130 --> 00:38:54.490 Correct. 00:38:54.610 --> 00:38:55.430 Oh, yeah. 00:38:55.530 --> 00:38:56.430 Oh, no, I know. 00:38:56.470 --> 00:38:59.870 So basically the C. 00:39:01.010 --> 00:39:08.170 blah, blah, blah. On October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, 00:39:08.170 --> 00:39:12.150 while appearing intoxicated, made a sexual advance towards him at a party in 00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:15.730 1986 when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. 00:39:16.430 --> 00:39:21.250 Rapp had also shared this story in a 2001 interview, but Spacey's name had been 00:39:21.250 --> 00:39:23.790 redacted from the publication to avoid legal disputes. 00:39:24.270 --> 00:39:27.570 Spacey stated on Twitter that he did not remember the encounter, 00:39:27.930 --> 00:39:32.450 but he owed Rapp the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate 00:39:32.450 --> 00:39:35.890 drunken behavior if he had behaved as asserted. 00:39:36.030 --> 00:39:39.890 In 2020, Rapp sued Spacey for sexual assault, sexual battery, 00:39:40.090 --> 00:39:44.310 and intentional affliction of emotional distress under the Child Victims Act. 00:39:44.550 --> 00:39:49.090 In the subsequent federal court proceeding, jury found that Spacey did not molest 00:39:49.090 --> 00:39:51.210 Rapp and was found not liable on all counts, 00:39:51.370 --> 00:39:54.590 with Rapp subsequently ordered by the court to pay Spacey 00:39:54.590 --> 00:40:00.370 $39,000 in damages that was the first then 15 others came forward alleging similar 00:40:00.370 --> 00:40:05.770 abuse and then the charges i was mentioning in the uk were a later set of charges 00:40:05.770 --> 00:40:11.830 for conduct that was supposedly happened in 2001 through 2004 so so how do. 00:40:11.830 --> 00:40:14.330 They write so how do they write them off the series. 00:40:15.810 --> 00:40:22.550 So okay let let me get to let me get to that so the the first again the first 00:40:22.550 --> 00:40:24.170 three seasons i I think we're excellent. 00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:27.290 Maybe they declined a little bit as you went through one through three, 00:40:27.310 --> 00:40:29.590 but the first three seasons were really good. 00:40:30.010 --> 00:40:31.330 No, they were really good. 00:40:31.750 --> 00:40:38.970 Four was really kind of mediocre and felt like things were starting to get really 00:40:38.970 --> 00:40:43.270 stretched and we're like, okay, you kind of kid. 00:40:43.310 --> 00:40:48.470 It was still okay in season four. It wasn't bad in season four in season five 00:40:48.470 --> 00:40:51.990 though, which was the last one with Kevin Spacey. 00:40:53.100 --> 00:40:58.940 Things started happening that were like, what? That doesn't even make sense. 00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:07.320 One of the things that was cool about House of Cards is that the main character, 00:41:07.580 --> 00:41:14.920 who was Frank Underwood, was who Kevin Spacey played, would manipulate the American 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.240 political system in creative ways. 00:41:17.240 --> 00:41:20.700 Now, some of them very, very illegal. They involve murder. 00:41:21.100 --> 00:41:24.340 Other things were happening, blackmail, blah, blah, blah. 00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:30.480 But the details of the politics were always kind of right. 00:41:30.600 --> 00:41:34.740 Like if I talked about how the Senate worked or how, you know, 00:41:34.740 --> 00:41:39.760 somebody gets appointed to the vice presidency or how, you know, 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:41.920 all of this stuff, those details were right. 00:41:42.040 --> 00:41:47.800 And that was good. In season five, a lot of the details weren't even right. It's like. 00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:51.080 It's just all like the shit. They just started making up shit. 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:59.580 I like get into the constitutional minutia of like how things like what happens 00:41:59.580 --> 00:42:04.360 when the 25th Amendment is invoked or what happens when the Electoral College 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:06.340 doesn't have a majority and blah, blah, blah. 00:42:06.340 --> 00:42:13.300 And they went to a scenario where, okay, in season five, it's either end of 00:42:13.300 --> 00:42:14.940 season four, beginning of season five, I forget. 00:42:15.220 --> 00:42:21.440 But they had an election that went into the Electoral College because two states 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.620 had their elections disrupted and did not declare a winner or whatever. 00:42:25.720 --> 00:42:29.900 And it was enough to throw it into the Electoral College. but what happened 00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:34.620 you know it goes into the house and the house votes over and over and over again 00:42:34.620 --> 00:42:37.840 out out of the top three categories until they come up with a winner that's 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:43.060 the constitutionally mandated thing somehow they had a couple votes in the house 00:42:43.060 --> 00:42:44.320 and then we're like you know what, 00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:51.400 let's order new elections in those two states there is no mechanism for that to happen. 00:42:52.220 --> 00:42:56.480 Yeah, I see that they completely lost. They went off the rails. 00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:01.160 They went off the rails in terms of all that kind of stuff. And then you asked, 00:43:01.220 --> 00:43:02.360 how did they write him out? 00:43:02.540 --> 00:43:02.980 Yeah. 00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:08.580 Well, how they were, the scandal happened after season five, before season six. 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:09.540 Uh-huh. 00:43:09.820 --> 00:43:14.560 They wrote him out by the first episode of season six, you know, 00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:18.300 his wife coming on the screen and saying, well, he's dead. 00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:23.820 And now i'm you know what way to do it you 00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:27.000 know because the season five ended 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:31.800 with him resigning the presidency and his wife who had also been his vice presidential 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.840 candidate it was it was like he they ran for president with him as the presidential 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.500 candidate and hers the vice presidential candidate and then it went into the 00:43:41.500 --> 00:43:45.380 house and because the presidency couldn't be be decided by the house. 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:49.180 The Senate picked the vice president and she became acting president because 00:43:49.180 --> 00:43:51.040 there was no president decided on. 00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:54.860 And so she was president for a while. And then he eventually won. 00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:58.740 He became president, but then he resigned and she was president again. 00:43:59.140 --> 00:44:02.540 And that was how, that's how the season ended. 00:44:02.660 --> 00:44:06.440 Season five ended, something like that. And then season six just ended with, 00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:10.920 well, he died of our, it ended as it started at his funeral or something is 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:12.240 he He had had a heart attack. 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.900 He just had a heart attack and died. And then one of the things that was a mystery 00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:23.320 over the course of the last season was, was it actually a heart attack or did 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:25.640 she kill him or did somebody else kill him? 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:31.940 You know, and it wasn't even 100% fully resolved by the end. 00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:38.640 But like, look in season six, the thing is that this, this, the, 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:41.040 the series had already lost the plot. 00:44:41.080 --> 00:44:44.960 Like, I mean, like it was just so convoluted and so unbelievable. 00:44:45.540 --> 00:44:50.080 Season five was really hard in season six when they lost their main character. 00:44:50.260 --> 00:44:54.600 I mean, she was really good in the show. His wife was played by Robin Wright, 00:44:54.760 --> 00:45:01.000 and she was excellent in the show too, but she couldn't carry it the same way he carried it. 00:45:01.240 --> 00:45:07.020 And they also never quite figured out the right way to deal with her. 00:45:07.180 --> 00:45:11.760 Because one of the things is she'd been played up through this point as incredibly 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.720 smart and incredibly savvy. 00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:14.300 Right. 00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:18.880 And and for the second half of season five and all of season six, 00:45:18.940 --> 00:45:22.460 it seemed like both her and Frank Underwood, when he was still alive, 00:45:22.700 --> 00:45:28.500 were being horribly manipulated by other people into really doing stupid things. 00:45:28.620 --> 00:45:33.260 And the first few seasons, they were the smart ones manipulating everyone else. 00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:36.100 Right. They were the ones that. Exactly. 00:45:36.100 --> 00:45:41.400 And then suddenly the tables are turned and it seems like these other people 00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:46.720 are suddenly really obviously manipulating them and they're falling for it. 00:45:47.530 --> 00:45:50.290 And, and it just like, and that 00:45:50.290 --> 00:45:54.830 went on throughout most of season six spoilers sort of towards the end. 00:45:54.890 --> 00:45:59.090 It seems like she somehow ended up getting the upper hand again over all the 00:45:59.090 --> 00:46:01.450 people who were trying to manipulate her for the whole season. 00:46:01.710 --> 00:46:06.890 But for like the longest time, it seemed like she was just doing stupid shit 00:46:06.890 --> 00:46:12.810 and falling into their traps. And, you know, so, yeah, so basically first three seasons, excellent. 00:46:13.270 --> 00:46:18.130 Fourth, eh, five, bad, six, really bad. 00:46:18.650 --> 00:46:23.170 You know, that's, that's my review of the American version of House of Cards. 00:46:23.750 --> 00:46:24.970 Okay. Wow. 00:46:25.790 --> 00:46:31.950 Oh, and I mentioned the British ones. Basically in season one of the American version, 00:46:32.070 --> 00:46:35.090 there are lots of parallels between the British version and 00:46:35.090 --> 00:46:37.830 what happened in the us version of 00:46:37.830 --> 00:46:41.650 season one after that they completely diverge and even 00:46:41.650 --> 00:46:44.590 in season one there were only sort of parallels it 00:46:44.590 --> 00:46:49.010 wasn't like it didn't it never seemed like they were just remaking the british 00:46:49.010 --> 00:46:54.370 version there were just some things that like you could that were similar there 00:46:54.370 --> 00:46:58.810 were some similar plot points but it was never like oh yeah this is clearly 00:46:58.810 --> 00:47:04.310 just you know they're just doing exactly the same thing with americans yeah so okay. 00:47:04.310 --> 00:47:08.410 So what are you what's your ver i mean you like the seasons what would you you 00:47:08.410 --> 00:47:12.450 know i i mean you you rated the seasons okay you know it's not if you had to 00:47:12.450 --> 00:47:14.030 rate the overall package. 00:47:15.010 --> 00:47:22.050 Overall pack like if okay if you stop after season three big thumbs up if you 00:47:22.050 --> 00:47:27.030 have to watch all six thumbs sideways like it averages out to a sideways because 00:47:27.030 --> 00:47:31.290 okay the the end was bad like yeah you You know, I mean, 00:47:31.370 --> 00:47:34.450 it was still it was still entertaining, 00:47:34.750 --> 00:47:36.890 I guess. It's just like it is. 00:47:37.010 --> 00:47:43.390 It had clearly lost the thread of what made it really good in the first few seasons. 00:47:43.710 --> 00:47:51.010 I mean, I kind of remember and I'm remembering when I stopped watching it and 00:47:51.010 --> 00:47:55.910 I'm realizing that it was around the time of that season. 00:47:56.590 --> 00:48:00.970 Yeah, it's like one, two, three was great. and then it was in season, 00:48:01.810 --> 00:48:07.010 what the hell it was there was one where they tried to assassinate him and they 00:48:07.010 --> 00:48:13.070 when everything starts like completely like disconnecting from reality like 00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:14.970 you said that's really when it 00:48:14.970 --> 00:48:18.630 lost me and I was just like I don't need to watch this shit anymore yeah, 00:48:20.130 --> 00:48:22.910 So, I mean, because it wasn't that, you know, that it was like, 00:48:23.030 --> 00:48:28.250 it just wasn't, it just, it just seems sloppy. That's it. 00:48:28.910 --> 00:48:34.270 Right. So. Okay. We've gone way too long with this stuff. 00:48:34.690 --> 00:48:39.850 Let's, let's move on and we'll come back with Yvonne picking what the first 00:48:39.850 --> 00:48:43.910 newsy thing of the show will be this time around. 00:48:44.190 --> 00:48:47.230 After this very exciting message. 00:48:47.850 --> 00:48:54.290 You're supposed to say do, do, do.

I can't remember where it was published, 00:50:11.070 --> 00:50:16.090 but I know a number of people started talking about it, about the stock market 00:50:16.090 --> 00:50:21.030 right now with tech and looking back at the tech bubble. 00:50:21.210 --> 00:50:27.430 And they were talking about how certain companies, 00:50:28.370 --> 00:50:32.230 well, they were talking more specifically about NVIDIA, specifically as NVIDIA 00:50:32.230 --> 00:50:40.570 has eclipsed everybody else as the largest market capitalization company right 00:50:40.570 --> 00:50:46.770 now because the man for their ships is just through the roof. I and. 00:50:48.290 --> 00:50:53.550 You know, the discussion was, hey, is this are we looking at the, 00:50:53.590 --> 00:50:58.890 you know, like what it was in the tech bubble back in back in the late 90s, 2000, 00:50:59.310 --> 00:51:06.950 you know, and the reality is that now it's just it's it's it's not. 00:51:06.950 --> 00:51:15.970 I mean, when you look at the metrics and, you know, at the numbers, it's just there is no. 00:51:17.430 --> 00:51:25.970 Nvidia right now is at a multiple that is well within a normal multiple that 00:51:25.970 --> 00:51:30.770 is also well within what their forecast for revenue and profits are. 00:51:30.770 --> 00:51:33.690 OK, and, you know, we're talking somewhere like. 00:51:33.690 --> 00:51:36.990 Within sort of normal ranges that you would expect with a company, 00:51:37.050 --> 00:51:40.850 with their with their fundamentals, with the actual results they're making. 00:51:41.630 --> 00:51:49.650 Exactly, exactly. Whereas back then it was just, look, the companies, none of them made money. 00:51:49.770 --> 00:51:52.610 Hell, a whole bunch of them didn't have any fucking revenue. 00:51:52.810 --> 00:51:58.610 OK, and we were valuing them at hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. 00:51:58.750 --> 00:52:03.310 OK, all right. I mean, I'm going to say, I'm going to look up to see, 00:52:03.450 --> 00:52:11.250 I mean, one of the big ones that was at that point, AOL, okay? 00:52:11.970 --> 00:52:18.830 AOL at one point was the be-all, end-all, okay? 00:52:20.030 --> 00:52:28.490 I mean, Yahoo and AOL, I mean, AOL was valued at $200 billion, okay? 00:52:28.570 --> 00:52:30.810 All right? At its peak. Okay. 00:52:31.710 --> 00:52:33.810 And I don't think it ever made money. 00:52:34.550 --> 00:52:34.970 Ever? 00:52:35.610 --> 00:52:36.990 Yeah. Ever. 00:52:39.050 --> 00:52:40.050 Yes. Ever. 00:52:40.430 --> 00:52:44.390 Well, I guess they spent enough on those damn discs. 00:52:45.130 --> 00:52:45.550 Don't. 00:52:48.110 --> 00:52:49.130 Yeah. I mean. 00:52:49.350 --> 00:52:53.050 I mean, how could they not? I paid them for 10 years after the last time I used 00:52:53.050 --> 00:52:57.090 dial-up for the dial-up service. They should have made money just on me. 00:52:57.870 --> 00:53:05.390 That's true. I, you know, I get that, but I don't think it generated any accounting 00:53:05.390 --> 00:53:11.310 profits during that entire time. Whereas, you know. 00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:16.440 I mean, NVIDIA actually is making billions. 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:23.180 I mean, their revenue is through the roof. They're really, they're raking in a lot of money. 00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:28.980 Okay. This isn't just, you know, we're buying the latest tech. 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:33.440 There is meat on the bone on this company. Okay. 00:53:34.240 --> 00:53:40.280 Well, let me ask a couple questions, though. is the meat that is on the bone 00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:46.080 because they are actually selling real stuff driven by its own bubble like they're 00:53:46.080 --> 00:53:48.780 big for a graphic cards right which are used for. 00:53:48.780 --> 00:53:51.920 Two things okay let me let me just say whoa okay 00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:59.060 go ahead okay okay okay i just looked up this chart um uh of their profit they're 00:53:59.060 --> 00:54:04.940 only they made no money in 08 no money on 09 no money in 2010 no money in 2011 00:54:04.940 --> 00:54:08.780 it appears Here's that they made money in one quarter in 2012. 00:54:09.160 --> 00:54:10.040 AOL, you're talking. 00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:11.220 Yes. No. 00:54:11.940 --> 00:54:14.380 In 2012? They were still around in 2012? 00:54:15.520 --> 00:54:18.220 Yeah, they were still around. They were AOL Time Warner. Remember, 00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:21.620 they had merged, and then there was a complete disaster, and the market cap crashed. 00:54:22.080 --> 00:54:24.860 And that's, I think, the only reason why they made money is because they had 00:54:24.860 --> 00:54:26.140 merged with AOL Time Warner. 00:54:26.720 --> 00:54:32.040 Well, I was going to say, so Time Warner made money, and they just had AOL in the name now. 00:54:32.820 --> 00:54:35.060 Correct. Well, yes. Yes. 00:54:35.060 --> 00:54:39.800 Like, when you were talking about AOL making money, I presume you meant pre-merger. 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.200 Well, but they bought Time Warner. They bought Time Warner! 00:54:45.640 --> 00:54:47.220 Yeah, I guess so. 00:54:48.020 --> 00:54:50.020 You know, they bought fucking Time Warner! 00:54:53.530 --> 00:55:01.370 Anyway no i was gonna say yes yes nvidia correct me if i'm wrong they're big 00:55:01.370 --> 00:55:04.330 money makers graphic cards right it's. 00:55:04.330 --> 00:55:06.970 Not graphics cards anymore it's the gpus. 00:55:06.970 --> 00:55:14.270 Well no no well yes gpu graphic processor unit well okay fine yeah but. 00:55:14.270 --> 00:55:18.950 It's not a card we're not they're not shipping out fucking cards they're shipping chips. 00:55:18.950 --> 00:55:24.310 Well not even well chips and like big units that use the the chips, all kinds of stuff. 00:55:24.570 --> 00:55:28.910 But here's the thing. 00:55:28.970 --> 00:55:31.470 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. Let me correct you on something. 00:55:31.590 --> 00:55:31.790 Yes. 00:55:31.890 --> 00:55:35.330 Because a lot of people have their own hardware which they're integrating this in. 00:55:35.430 --> 00:55:36.310 Yes, of course, of course. 00:55:36.430 --> 00:55:40.470 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not, they will ship those, but the reality is that 00:55:40.470 --> 00:55:45.110 a lot of the demand, including my employer, is they have an infrastructure that they had created. 00:55:45.310 --> 00:55:47.990 And Chipsa, they use those for that purpose, yes. 00:55:48.690 --> 00:55:53.110 Okay, okay. But here's the thing that I was going to, The point of my question 00:55:53.110 --> 00:56:00.290 was, isn't the demand for those things being driven in its own bubble by two 00:56:00.290 --> 00:56:03.310 things, first crypto and second AI? 00:56:03.550 --> 00:56:06.030 Those are the big uses of these things, right? 00:56:06.510 --> 00:56:10.130 Well, crypto was the big one at first, right? And that had been. 00:56:10.290 --> 00:56:14.850 But crypto, that's kind of going down, but AI is going up, right? Right. 00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:20.780 Right. Yeah. But crypto, you know, wasn't a driver of this kind of valuation. 00:56:21.100 --> 00:56:28.540 OK, sure. I mean, crypto had had been something that that had made NVIDIA definitely grow over years. 00:56:28.860 --> 00:56:34.440 Well, well, people were buying tens of thousands of these to set up crypto farms and stuff. 00:56:34.620 --> 00:56:38.480 Yeah. Of course, it's become less profitable to do that. 00:56:38.620 --> 00:56:42.020 That's no longer lucrative in the same way that it was. Yes. 00:56:42.020 --> 00:56:45.020 It's not but but but for a while there. 00:56:45.020 --> 00:56:51.220 Was a big you know people were going out and building huge data centers of gpus 00:56:51.220 --> 00:56:53.180 out in the middle of nowhere. 00:56:53.180 --> 00:56:57.340 How was it even data centers they were fucking stuffing them they're trying 00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:01.680 to find it would find they would find the corner of the earth that they could 00:57:01.680 --> 00:57:07.740 find the cheapest electrical that they could that would stick these things over there yes yes Yes. 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.440 And then shove it full of these things. Yes. 00:57:10.560 --> 00:57:16.040 Right. Yeah. Literally in literally in like trailers and closets. Yes. 00:57:16.220 --> 00:57:24.100 Yes. And yes. And a whole range of them. But the point was there was a bubble because of that. 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:29.860 And now it seems like the, the searches on people are doing the same thing in 00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:34.620 this land rush over AI that uses the same kind of chips that's coming from Nvidia. 00:57:34.620 --> 00:57:37.600 Nvidia well i guess the question is whether the ai 00:57:37.600 --> 00:57:40.680 land rush is real well here's one thing right now the 00:57:40.680 --> 00:57:43.780 ai land rush is making money okay that's 00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:48.400 the one thing unlike a whole bunch of land rushes that we did before okay like 00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:54.340 like you know the real estate one didn't make money okay the the that internet 00:57:54.340 --> 00:58:01.900 one where we had the web vans in a world uh the the buy.coms of the world what the 00:58:02.020 --> 00:58:08.080 fuck i gotta think of another one that was famous that went away i don't know which you know, 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:11.860 Web van was a big one. That one was a big disaster. 00:58:12.060 --> 00:58:14.940 Of course, that turned out. It's just most of those, remember, 00:58:15.180 --> 00:58:17.500 it wasn't that they were shit. They were just too early. 00:58:17.980 --> 00:58:21.860 There were a bunch that were too early. And that's actually something that if 00:58:21.860 --> 00:58:25.620 you look back a few hundred years, this has played out in many industries where 00:58:25.620 --> 00:58:30.140 the first innovator in the industry goes out and builds the infrastructure, 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:33.740 then goes bankrupt because the infrastructure costs so much. 00:58:33.740 --> 00:58:38.380 and then new companies come in utilizing the infrastructure that was built by 00:58:38.380 --> 00:58:41.940 the first players at a cheaper price and then they are huge successes. 00:58:42.240 --> 00:58:47.060 Listen, from that implosion, okay, all right, a company I do a lot of business 00:58:47.060 --> 00:58:52.040 with, America Mobile from Mexico, they picked up, so a bunch of American companies 00:58:52.040 --> 00:58:53.720 had invested in all this fiber. 00:58:53.860 --> 00:58:56.760 Well, one of the companies, Global Crossing, for example, do you remember, 00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:57.860 does that name ring a bell? 00:58:58.040 --> 00:58:59.000 It rings a bell. 00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:03.520 There was a company that was laying fiber all over the world and all the fiber went 00:59:03.740 --> 00:59:06.520 dark and they got bought listen this guy from america mobile 00:59:06.520 --> 00:59:09.420 bought global crossing bought all these telcos that 00:59:09.420 --> 00:59:12.420 all these people u.s companies european had 00:59:12.420 --> 00:59:16.280 spent tens hundreds of billions of dollars at 00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:22.300 cents on the dollar and is now minting you know minting money off of it basically 00:59:22.300 --> 00:59:26.980 because it was built that way but i guess that listen the one thing with ai 00:59:26.980 --> 00:59:30.100 and what we're talking about is i know we got this land rush this goes back 00:59:30.100 --> 00:59:33.840 we're going to talk about ai again shit well is ai I real or not. 00:59:34.700 --> 00:59:39.080 It keeps coming up. It's all, it's almost like Donald Trump keeps coming up. 00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:44.460 Fuck keeps coming up. Look, I do think that a lot of the stuff that's happening, 00:59:44.520 --> 00:59:47.320 there is a land rush and there's probably going to be a, uh, 00:59:48.110 --> 00:59:53.150 an adjustment at some point. Now the one, but the key question is right now, 00:59:53.330 --> 00:59:55.990 look, are you paying, are you paying for vapor? 00:59:56.210 --> 00:59:59.690 Are you paying for vapor right now? The answer is no. Could that, 00:59:59.690 --> 01:00:04.650 could that demand fall off because so much right now there's, 01:00:04.650 --> 01:00:06.530 there's such a big bubble on it. Yes. 01:00:06.670 --> 01:00:11.490 Well, I mean, this is, this is so common that there are cartoons on the cycle, right? 01:00:11.610 --> 01:00:17.010 There's always a hype cycle where people get super, super excited of something. 01:00:17.070 --> 01:00:21.270 It like it rises and rises and everybody thinks it's a great new thing. 01:00:21.350 --> 01:00:27.270 And then reality sort of hits in that. It's not living up to all of the hype. 01:00:27.390 --> 01:00:31.830 Things fall back down a little bit and then reality catches up. 01:00:32.070 --> 01:00:36.010 But I'm going to tell you something. I think I've got to tell you something. 01:00:36.170 --> 01:00:39.930 I'm going to give you my, my, listen, I don't think, I think that in a lot of 01:00:39.930 --> 01:00:41.670 things with it's like the.com. 01:00:41.670 --> 01:00:46.290 The.com bubble is a perfect example, right? There was the big pop, 01:00:46.530 --> 01:00:48.490 and then it went down for a little while. 01:00:48.630 --> 01:00:54.590 And right now, the stuff that came out of that, when it re-rose later, 01:00:54.870 --> 01:00:59.510 and it took a while, but Eclipse is anything we had during the dot-com bubble. 01:01:00.190 --> 01:01:04.490 The entire world is dot-com now, essentially. 01:01:05.050 --> 01:01:06.350 Basically, yes. Yeah. 01:01:06.530 --> 01:01:12.290 And so I remember after the dot-com bubble burst, when I worked at Merrill Lynch, 01:01:12.430 --> 01:01:16.410 and And they started getting rid of their web divisions and stuff, saying, we told you so. 01:01:16.470 --> 01:01:18.750 We told you this was all nonsense and it was going away. 01:01:19.330 --> 01:01:24.870 And so we don't need the web people anymore. We'll go back to buying TV ads, whatever. 01:01:26.030 --> 01:01:33.430 But wait a few years and everything's online. Everything is online. 01:01:33.690 --> 01:01:39.030 But look, listen, we've been playing around with some of this AI shit on here. 01:01:39.150 --> 01:01:42.590 And I've seen, you know, you've talked about some of the stuff that you've been able to do. 01:01:42.830 --> 01:01:45.610 And I've seen a whole bunch of this stuff that a lot of people have been able 01:01:45.610 --> 01:01:47.870 to do, even with just the stuff in its infancy. 01:01:48.050 --> 01:01:52.770 And I got to tell you, okay, it's not hype. It's not bullshit. 01:01:53.210 --> 01:01:58.090 But at the moment, but like every time I use chat GPT right now, 01:01:58.150 --> 01:02:00.470 doesn't it lose money for open AI? 01:02:01.010 --> 01:02:07.370 I don't know. It's a good question. But I don't know. But if you're a buyer of NVIDIA, who cares? 01:02:09.050 --> 01:02:12.090 But I'm like, fuck them. I don't care. 01:02:13.230 --> 01:02:17.210 OK, you know, I mean, that's the thing. I think that the people that are, 01:02:17.290 --> 01:02:23.010 you know, obviously a number of people are monetizing it around that and building 01:02:23.010 --> 01:02:26.790 certain things around it and extracting value out of it. 01:02:28.560 --> 01:02:32.860 I think, look, just the biggest difference between back then and now, 01:02:32.940 --> 01:02:38.060 I don't know because about the financials on the company itself, 01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:44.000 but all the big players that are around it, that are investing in it are profitable entities. Okay. 01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:50.760 And so it's unlike that moment back then where basically nobody was making money. 01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:57.140 And there was like, you know, the valuations were all just based on, on, on, I mean. 01:02:57.180 --> 01:03:00.880 Like to, to avoid talking about either of our companies. Yeah. 01:03:00.980 --> 01:03:01.800 It's a good idea. 01:03:02.040 --> 01:03:04.460 Apple announced a whole bunch of AI stuff, right? 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:07.140 Yeah. Let's talk about Apple. There you go. Yes. 01:03:08.080 --> 01:03:13.140 Let's talk about Apple. But like, this is going to cost them a shitload of money. 01:03:13.600 --> 01:03:19.480 And Apple has a lot of money to burn, but, but does, but will. 01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:24.200 What's a few billion, what's a few billion down the fucking, you know, down the pike. 01:03:24.500 --> 01:03:28.280 Well, and that, and that's the big question though, in the end, 01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:31.680 is that money down the toilet because it doesn't end up going anywhere. 01:03:32.020 --> 01:03:36.780 Can I tell you something? One thing that I've realized that we had this discussion, 01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:45.040 online about about how smart intelligent assistants are okay and and you know 01:03:45.040 --> 01:03:50.100 one thing is that we had beat up on siri a lot right let me tell you something 01:03:50.100 --> 01:03:56.440 i started going because i think a while back i backed off of asking stuff you. 01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:57.900 Mentioned this a few episodes ago. 01:03:57.900 --> 01:04:03.400 No no no but but this is like even more after that i did but we we did one where 01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.960 i think the The question was related to the, you know, who won the presidential 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:08.360 election and we had that thing. 01:04:08.700 --> 01:04:13.280 No, no. But you talked recently about how much better Syria has gotten recently. 01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:17.600 No, no, no. But this was just based on stuff I read. Okay. 01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:20.680 Now I'm telling you that I started asking it. 01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:26.160 Okay. So after the last time we talked about it, I just started asking it more questions. 01:04:26.900 --> 01:04:30.920 And I started getting a lot more correct answers. Okay. 01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:35.740 Than I expected on some shit. And I'm realizing, wait a minute, what the fuck? 01:04:35.780 --> 01:04:39.220 This thing is actually, you know, shit that it failed miserably before. 01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:46.660 It's answering correctly on the first try. I'm not being thrown off into some stupid bullshit. 01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:52.520 And of course, part of what they announced last week was that the next version 01:04:52.520 --> 01:04:56.600 of iOS and Mac OS that's coming out this fall will, of course, 01:04:56.600 --> 01:04:58.780 double and triple down on all the AI stuff. 01:04:58.860 --> 01:05:03.280 All kinds of new AI features are included, including some integration with chat GPT. 01:05:03.780 --> 01:05:07.760 Well, and good news for Apple is that, I don't know, I guess I think, 01:05:07.820 --> 01:05:13.500 who was it? dell ship oh we've shipped our new ai laptops apparently they're 01:05:13.500 --> 01:05:17.420 crap as you would expect that they're just utter crap. 01:05:17.420 --> 01:05:23.040 Well so and this is the whole question of like you know your point on nvidia 01:05:23.040 --> 01:05:26.440 and some of these other things are we having another bubble that's going to 01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:31.440 burst part of it is like okay well nvidia is actually making money unlike the 01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:35.440 dot-com boom but sure Like for, again, 01:05:35.640 --> 01:05:43.660 to me, the next question down is, are they making lots of money based on a market 01:05:43.660 --> 01:05:47.160 that itself is a bubble that will burst at some point? 01:05:47.380 --> 01:05:51.780 And I don't know. Like, I feel like this AI stuff, like I said, 01:05:51.900 --> 01:05:57.280 I think that the current hype is a little bit overboard. board. 01:05:57.820 --> 01:06:05.080 However, I think like all of these other technologies, it's going to, there'll be a crest. 01:06:05.540 --> 01:06:09.640 People will be disappointed by it for a while. And then in the background, 01:06:09.740 --> 01:06:13.340 it will continue to develop and get better and better and better. 01:06:13.640 --> 01:06:19.260 And when we get five, 10 years down the road, maybe not even that long, we will stop. 01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:25.480 We will eventually have stuff that lives up to the initial hype it's just it'll be a second wave. 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:31.100 By the way open ai is not you know yeah that's what i thought open ai is private 01:06:31.100 --> 01:06:33.340 we have no idea what their financials are oh. 01:06:33.340 --> 01:06:40.420 I know i know it's it's private and they've got this weird non-profit private profit hybrid thing. 01:06:40.420 --> 01:06:45.000 Right but they haven't even published but but but you know some private companies 01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:47.020 like that do publish some stuff, 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:51.480 In terms of financials, for whatever reasons that they have to sometimes, 01:06:51.660 --> 01:06:53.140 and now they haven't published anything. 01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:57.460 So we have no idea about really their revenues. When you ask whether they're 01:06:57.460 --> 01:07:02.180 making money or losing money on everyone, there really is no good way to tell. 01:07:02.180 --> 01:07:05.560 But, and of course that whole thing with their CEO, 01:07:05.660 --> 01:07:10.060 like being fired and then being brought back and all that was all related to 01:07:10.060 --> 01:07:14.080 the interrelationship between the nonprofit that owns it and the profit that's 01:07:14.080 --> 01:07:17.700 owned by it and the relationships it has with other companies. 01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:21.820 And there's all kinds of craziness going on there. I like, yeah, 01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.740 I kind of wish it was a public company because I think there's a lot of like 01:07:26.740 --> 01:07:32.700 weird shit going on inside there that I think would be interesting to know. But like, I. 01:07:32.700 --> 01:07:36.380 Think there's a lot of competition coming in the pike too. 01:07:36.640 --> 01:07:40.260 Oh, there is. There are a lot of other places that are doing stuff right now. 01:07:40.540 --> 01:07:43.600 And anybody who's not doing anything right now, 01:07:43.740 --> 01:07:48.780 like, you know, Apple's doing a partner with chat GPT in addition to everything 01:07:48.780 --> 01:07:53.360 else they're doing, because like everyone else, there's this big fear of missing 01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:55.960 out thing. Like this is the big new thing. 01:07:56.060 --> 01:08:00.060 That's finally going to be the big growth thing that, you know, 01:08:00.080 --> 01:08:04.800 we've been talking for for years about how tech got boring and how like, 01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:09.680 you know, we had the, the iPhone and the iPad and it revolutionized everything. 01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:12.460 But then for quite a while now, it's been sort of like, yeah, 01:08:12.540 --> 01:08:16.140 there's, there's the newest update to the iPhone it's blah. 01:08:16.320 --> 01:08:21.040 And, and now the question that all of these companies are doing is, 01:08:21.100 --> 01:08:26.060 is this finally the actual next big thing that's going to revolutionize the 01:08:26.060 --> 01:08:30.800 the world and make the, you know, forget about billionaires and a hundred billionaires 01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:33.720 is one of these going to make the first trillionaire, you know? 01:08:34.690 --> 01:08:38.030 Hopefully we'll tax them so that we don't. Okay. That's my hope. 01:08:38.370 --> 01:08:41.650 Yeah. Good luck with that. They'll just move to the moon. 01:08:44.290 --> 01:08:46.410 Well, they can stay over there anyway. 01:08:47.410 --> 01:08:52.170 No, Elon's going, Elon's going to Mars, not the moon. So, you know, perfect. 01:08:52.310 --> 01:08:55.510 Beautiful. He can stay over there too. He doesn't have to come back. It's fine. 01:08:55.650 --> 01:08:58.730 Okay. I will pay him the one way ticket to it. 01:08:58.730 --> 01:09:01.610 One thing, it's just that we, 01:09:01.690 --> 01:09:09.990 the question I have about systems like this is what is the change that it's 01:09:09.990 --> 01:09:14.550 going to instill in how we live and work, okay? 01:09:14.550 --> 01:09:19.410 OK, because if you think about 60, 70 years ago, well, how an office environment 01:09:19.410 --> 01:09:26.530 worked, OK, completely different from what the heck it was in the 90s, 2000s. 01:09:26.530 --> 01:09:34.230 And then now, OK, even like right now, where we went from these offices that 01:09:34.230 --> 01:09:38.930 were populated by all of these people that were doing administrative work, 01:09:39.170 --> 01:09:43.950 you know, paper shuffling, organizing, collating, pushing, you know, record keeping. 01:09:44.110 --> 01:09:48.970 That was all manual. That was, look, the job of record keeping and accurate record keeping. 01:09:49.110 --> 01:09:54.330 There were file cabinets everywhere. everywhere even even when i first started 01:09:54.330 --> 01:09:56.630 in offices there were file cabinets everywhere. 01:09:56.630 --> 01:10:02.490 There were file cabinets everywhere and but sam i still remember like banks 01:10:02.490 --> 01:10:06.830 how they kept track of your fucking money back then it was crazy you had these 01:10:06.830 --> 01:10:11.650 fucking books yeah you had this passbook that you would go over there and they 01:10:11.650 --> 01:10:16.190 would print the balance on your fucking passbook of what the the hell you had? 01:10:16.450 --> 01:10:22.570 And they had these these, you know, big machines in which they would do it on 01:10:22.570 --> 01:10:29.270 and I don't like what the, you know, I, it was just how the hell they kept track and they sent, 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:33.940 Statements, you know, one thing I learned about while I worked at Kodak, 01:10:33.980 --> 01:10:39.120 for example, is that credit card processing, international credit card processing. 01:10:39.200 --> 01:10:41.860 I learned about this about American Express because I talked to some of the 01:10:41.860 --> 01:10:43.700 people that did this for American Express. 01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:47.400 But think about if you were in Argentina, which was a country where most of 01:10:47.400 --> 01:10:51.140 these people were based out of, you spent money on an American Express card there. 01:10:51.780 --> 01:10:55.460 The slips would go first from there. They would go to a bank. 01:10:55.740 --> 01:10:58.800 They would go to American Express and they got them in the office. 01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:03.240 And then over there, they would first, they would, they have these machines 01:11:03.240 --> 01:11:08.440 that would, that would microfilm all of those receipts every day. 01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:10.480 Okay. They would put them on a microphone. 01:11:10.640 --> 01:11:14.760 They would load that microfilm on a plane and send it to New York. Okay. 01:11:15.240 --> 01:11:16.900 Then in New York. Yeah. 01:11:16.940 --> 01:11:17.160 Okay. 01:11:17.320 --> 01:11:22.180 A whole bunch of people in front of an IBM mainframe started keying away each 01:11:22.180 --> 01:11:23.800 one of these fucking transactions. 01:11:24.120 --> 01:11:30.280 Okay. that you did internationally that arrived in a microfilm in order to process 01:11:30.280 --> 01:11:31.220 a credit card transaction. 01:11:31.500 --> 01:11:35.900 This could take days to do this right now. 01:11:36.120 --> 01:11:40.580 Whereas right now, I go down there, I fuck with Apple Pay, I just tap a fucking 01:11:40.580 --> 01:11:45.840 thing and it immediately dings my account in one second. 01:11:46.140 --> 01:11:48.140 So we've moved from that. 01:11:48.320 --> 01:11:51.260 And they're finally getting rid of some of the vestiges of that too. 01:11:51.260 --> 01:11:55.580 Like, you know, it used to be several days to clear a stock transaction or whatever. 01:11:56.440 --> 01:12:00.380 Oh, shit. Now we're like one day down to one day. 01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:05.940 Yeah. And, and even one day is like, come on, like you, you could do that in seconds. Come on. 01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:10.560 Yeah. It should be instant. So, so the one thing is, you know, 01:12:10.580 --> 01:12:13.580 we went from, from all that manual work to, 01:12:14.020 --> 01:12:22.320 into an electronic era, okay, at first, and how this will transform that as well. 01:12:22.440 --> 01:12:25.380 Because I think, you know, we arrived at this era of the ERP, 01:12:25.440 --> 01:12:30.420 of the mainframe computer, of all of these things, and how, and I think that 01:12:30.420 --> 01:12:34.560 this is a changer of what the next evolution of work is going to be. 01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.060 I really think, because of a lot of the drawbacks that we've talked about, 01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:42.860 no, I keep looking at my work, and I realize it's like how I've been doing some 01:12:42.860 --> 01:12:44.720 PowerPoint points lies at using the AI. 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:47.820 Listen, this thing cannot replace me yet. 01:12:47.860 --> 01:12:51.760 It's not even close and it may be decades before it is. It's the same problem 01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:55.360 that they've got with making a car make a fucking left turn on its own. 01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:57.000 But it can save you time. 01:12:57.140 --> 01:13:00.420 It can save you time. It can make you work faster. 01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:05.260 It can make you more efficient. It can make things happen that it would take 01:13:05.260 --> 01:13:10.640 forever ever, 20, 30 years ago, that even like now take me a long time. 01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:15.000 I, you know, for certain things that I have to do, I have to go through several 01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:20.000 systems, one that does this, one that does this, the other one that does this, 01:13:20.040 --> 01:13:21.860 integrate, do whatever what now. 01:13:22.060 --> 01:13:27.920 And I've seen like some of these AI, real working AI, you know, 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:30.120 models that I've seen now. 01:13:30.980 --> 01:13:34.100 automate a whole bunch of these things. Okay. When they're implemented properly, 01:13:34.440 --> 01:13:36.460 not, you know, not this, not some of this bullshit. 01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:37.040 Right. 01:13:37.180 --> 01:13:39.700 You know what I'm looking at? I'm like, shit. I mean, you know. 01:13:39.700 --> 01:13:43.040 It's, I'll get, I'll give you another example of that. 01:13:43.240 --> 01:13:47.020 You know, I've mentioned before that for election graphs, I want to do this 01:13:47.020 --> 01:13:50.420 modeling that takes into account the amount of time told the election, et cetera. 01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:54.940 I'm taking next week off to do it. But one of the prep things that I need to 01:13:54.940 --> 01:14:02.000 do is just transform the data that I had manually in spreadsheets in 2008 and 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:09.620 2012 into the same format that I want to have it that matches what I've used in 2016 onward, 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:13.200 so that I can do my calculations and stuff based on that. 01:14:13.360 --> 01:14:18.920 And so I was thinking about like, okay, how would I do this transformation? 01:14:19.200 --> 01:14:23.520 Because it's rote stuff. It's very, you know it's it's just copy and paste and 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:25.420 change the format and blah blah blah yes. 01:14:25.420 --> 01:14:28.240 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh-huh. 01:14:28.240 --> 01:14:33.460 It's all that kind of stuff and what i and at one point i'm like thinking do 01:14:33.460 --> 01:14:38.160 i want to export this and then write a script and do this and do that or do 01:14:38.160 --> 01:14:41.520 i want to copy and paste here and then export in excel what do i want to do 01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:45.820 and then like you know let me just give chat gpt a shot. 01:14:46.080 --> 01:14:46.340 Okay. 01:14:46.400 --> 01:14:55.960 So I just said, I've got this Excel spreadsheet and I want to re I want to transform 01:14:55.960 --> 01:15:00.100 this into this other format in this way. I want these columns. 01:15:00.280 --> 01:15:03.580 I want to throw, I want to throw out everything else. I only care about these 01:15:03.580 --> 01:15:05.420 columns and I want it in this format. 01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:10.680 And I said that, and then I copy and pasted the cells I cared about from Excel 01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:14.900 directly into chat GPT, Just control C, control V, I hit return, 01:15:15.160 --> 01:15:18.000 and it spit out exactly what I fucking wanted. 01:15:19.020 --> 01:15:21.580 You know, I mean. 01:15:21.660 --> 01:15:24.580 That's, that's a massive time saver. 01:15:24.780 --> 01:15:28.600 And like, could I do it? Could I do it the old way? Yes. 01:15:28.700 --> 01:15:28.980 Yes. 01:15:29.060 --> 01:15:30.820 Is this faster? Absolutely. 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:35.360 Absolutely.

And... 01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:03.100 You know everybody and you know one of the clips from the 01:18:03.100 --> 01:18:06.140 kentucky fried movie if you looked at it was a 01:18:06.140 --> 01:18:10.000 was a making fun of a point counterpoint you 01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:13.240 know one of these like it used to be on tv they would show like like 01:18:13.240 --> 01:18:16.680 a conservative and a liberal argued about something and 01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:19.940 the whole fucking argument was the same bullshit argument 01:18:19.940 --> 01:18:23.580 the republicans are having right now on on 01:18:23.580 --> 01:18:26.660 biden's fiscal stimulus and the and 01:18:26.660 --> 01:18:30.520 inflation okay you know any programs 01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:34.040 that give money to the poor causing inflation don't 01:18:34.040 --> 01:18:36.860 you understand i'm like fuck man it's the same fucking horse shit 01:18:36.860 --> 01:18:39.780 story i've been listening to that for the past 40 01:18:39.780 --> 01:18:43.120 years but but biden what 01:18:43.120 --> 01:18:45.740 he did with with the programs that he 01:18:45.740 --> 01:18:49.280 put in with infrastructure and the inflation reduction act okay 01:18:49.280 --> 01:18:53.040 yeah it's created jobs real jobs 01:18:53.040 --> 01:18:56.160 not jobs for like you know not like 01:18:56.160 --> 01:18:59.400 what happened like in the bush era okay and 01:18:59.400 --> 01:19:04.560 i'm talking bush's junior okay where we created a whole bunch of fucking mortgage 01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:10.500 brokers okay right it's not you know they're not actually producing anything 01:19:10.500 --> 01:19:15.240 no we're making houses we're doing financial you know if i you know financial 01:19:15.240 --> 01:19:19.320 hocus pocus you know we weren't we weren't having industrial jobs. 01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:25.420 Donald Trump talked about bringing back manufacturing jobs. He'll bring back dick. 01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:29.460 But tariffs, Yvonne. Tariffs. 01:19:29.820 --> 01:19:35.560 Oh, the tariffs, yes. And so now his proposal, of course, it seems the ones, 01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:39.680 well, whatever the last bullshit that he spewed was that we're going to get 01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:42.840 rid of all income taxes and we're going to make it all tariffs. 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:48.440 Which, of course, would be the most insanely regressive tax regime ever. 01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:54.060 He still doesn't understand that it's not the other countries that pay tariffs. 01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:56.520 Oh, yes, it's your fucking consumers! 01:19:57.840 --> 01:19:58.740 Anyway, anyway. 01:19:58.900 --> 01:20:03.320 I mean, but the thing is that you've had this, you know, 01:20:04.470 --> 01:20:10.810 You know, you've had these stimulus that targeted certain areas of the economy 01:20:10.810 --> 01:20:15.350 specifically in order to promote growth instead of what we've had, 01:20:15.430 --> 01:20:18.730 unfortunately, with Republicans over the last 30, 01:20:18.850 --> 01:20:22.570 40 years have been their orthodoxy, which has been to just, oh, 01:20:22.630 --> 01:20:26.970 we'll just cut taxes and the rich will spend. And no, they haven't. 01:20:27.190 --> 01:20:29.450 No, they haven't. They haven't been investing in shit. 01:20:29.770 --> 01:20:32.630 They've just been hoarding money. They've just becoming billionaires. 01:20:32.630 --> 01:20:36.910 They've been buying mega yachts and, you know, more expensive houses and shit and whatnot. 01:20:37.230 --> 01:20:40.150 Not really, you know, investing in the economy. 01:20:40.630 --> 01:20:42.890 And so, you know, you. 01:20:43.530 --> 01:20:45.370 Somebody has to build those yachts, Yvonne. 01:20:46.050 --> 01:20:49.290 That's true. That is true. I will grant you that. 01:20:49.590 --> 01:20:52.970 But most of the stuff that they're doing is just, you know, unfortunately, 01:20:53.110 --> 01:20:58.270 they're not buying enough yachts to make the same stimulus that, 01:20:58.290 --> 01:21:00.430 say, shifting our economy. 01:21:00.430 --> 01:21:05.830 Building more sustainable energy production in the U.S., 01:21:05.830 --> 01:21:09.150 manufacturing chips in the U.S., 01:21:09.150 --> 01:21:14.790 and moving away from where there is this supply chain rebalancing that is happening 01:21:14.790 --> 01:21:20.230 across the world where people are nearshoring a whole bunch of stuff that they 01:21:20.230 --> 01:21:21.190 had completely offshored, 01:21:21.270 --> 01:21:24.630 realizing that there are risks in being completely offshored, 01:21:24.730 --> 01:21:26.170 which should have been obvious. 01:21:26.170 --> 01:21:28.390 But for whatever the hell reason, I don't. 01:21:28.570 --> 01:21:33.990 Sometimes I I still remember that we had when I was working at Rico, 01:21:34.110 --> 01:21:40.090 that when this tsunami that hit the Fukushima, you know, nuclear plant, 01:21:40.290 --> 01:21:46.430 when that happened, we had this one factory and it was only made one factory 01:21:46.430 --> 01:21:50.630 only that had this super critical part for all our printers. 01:21:50.670 --> 01:21:53.410 And it was only made at this one damn place. 01:21:53.410 --> 01:21:57.710 Well, you bring up several different risks. There's the, you know, 01:21:57.710 --> 01:21:58.990 having everything offshore. 01:21:59.130 --> 01:22:03.310 There's also single sourcing, which is its own risk. 01:22:03.430 --> 01:22:07.450 And also just the risk of the whole just-in-time philosophy as well. 01:22:07.630 --> 01:22:11.630 Right. That also relies on a bunch of assumptions of things working smoothly. 01:22:11.890 --> 01:22:17.290 And as long as it works smoothly, great. If something gets disrupted, you're screwed. 01:22:17.670 --> 01:22:19.990 You're screwed. And so, you know, 01:22:20.050 --> 01:22:27.030 definitely what has happened with this administration has definitely been, 01:22:28.970 --> 01:22:34.930 It's given the economy lasting foundations for many years to come. 01:22:35.530 --> 01:22:39.690 Oh, I don't know. Once Donald wins, he can rip it all apart in a few days. 01:22:40.330 --> 01:22:43.550 Well, you know, it's easier to destroy than to create. I will say that. 01:22:43.670 --> 01:22:44.050 Yeah. 01:22:44.110 --> 01:22:48.690 Okay. The question is, of course, you know, I don't know. I don't even want 01:22:48.690 --> 01:22:51.670 to talk about it. At one point, I thought I wanted to talk about it. 01:22:51.990 --> 01:22:55.770 And I realize right now I just want to stick my head in the sand and I'm just, I'm just. 01:22:55.950 --> 01:22:58.250 The if Donald wins scenarios. 01:22:58.970 --> 01:23:01.830 Yeah i i don't even want to i don't even want to i don't 01:23:01.830 --> 01:23:04.750 even want to think about it i don't want to think about it i don't 01:23:04.750 --> 01:23:07.630 want to fucking think about it i've i've i've thought about 01:23:07.630 --> 01:23:10.630 them in all different ways you know really 01:23:10.630 --> 01:23:16.350 you know there's all sorts of different scenarios that i that i that i've gone 01:23:16.350 --> 01:23:22.130 through from like all none are none are really good some's less worse than than 01:23:22.130 --> 01:23:26.850 others i mean the scenario that i still like is the one that i dreamed about 01:23:26.850 --> 01:23:29.210 and And maybe, you know, we'll get into debate next week. 01:23:29.410 --> 01:23:31.690 I dreamt that during the debate. 01:23:32.190 --> 01:23:34.430 Yeah. You mentioned he has a heart attack. 01:23:34.550 --> 01:23:38.230 Yeah. I mentioned this, that he has a heart attack on stage. 01:23:38.670 --> 01:23:42.590 So I think this is a good moment to take our second break. 01:23:43.030 --> 01:23:46.830 And then hell, since you brought it up, we'll do politics for the end. 01:23:46.870 --> 01:23:49.870 And it won't be that long. We've only got like half an hour left. 01:23:50.090 --> 01:23:56.430 So we'll do miscellaneous politics, including some of the debate. 01:23:58.010 --> 01:24:03.630 the donald trump's vp selection process some other crap like that i don't know you. 01:24:03.630 --> 01:24:06.450 Mean donald trump suck up auditions you mean. 01:24:06.450 --> 01:24:14.410 Yeah something like that anyway we we will be back with that just in a moment 01:24:14.410 --> 01:24:21.070 and since we're talking politics here comes the the election graphs break here you go Do. 01:24:21.070 --> 01:24:29.350 You want to understand what is really going on with the presidential election cycle? 01:24:29.810 --> 01:24:33.670 Then go to electiongraphs.com right away. 01:24:34.510 --> 01:24:38.790 There you'll find charts and graphs covering the nomination processes in both 01:24:38.790 --> 01:24:42.450 parties and the general election race for electoral college votes. 01:24:43.580 --> 01:24:48.060 For the delegate races, we track not just delegate totals, but also the ever-important 01:24:48.060 --> 01:24:53.140 analysis of how each candidate has to do with the remaining delegates in order to actually win. 01:24:53.460 --> 01:24:57.920 For the electoral college, we track state-by-state poll averages to categorize 01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:02.180 which states are actually in play and which are not in order to show you the 01:25:02.180 --> 01:25:06.360 range of likely electoral results and how that changes over time. 01:25:07.340 --> 01:25:13.080 Sure, you can get some of this stuff elsewhere, but not in exactly the same way, and not from me. 01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:17.760 Sam, your prime curmudgeon.

I mentioned I'm gonna, I'm taking the week off. 01:25:33.080 --> 01:25:38.520 I'm gonna try to do those models that take into account the amount of time left until the election. 01:25:38.820 --> 01:25:41.900 I'm crossing my fingers that I have enough time to do what I wanna do. 01:25:41.900 --> 01:25:45.620 I have them in my head. I know exactly the steps I need to take. 01:25:45.700 --> 01:25:49.100 I just need the time to do it. And so hopefully a week will be enough. 01:25:49.460 --> 01:25:52.280 But of course, there's always going to be other things demanding my time, 01:25:52.340 --> 01:25:53.420 even though I take time off. 01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:57.900 But anyway, but of course, you're going to come back to work, 01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:01.140 you know, with a holiday like coming up a couple of days later. 01:26:01.200 --> 01:26:04.120 I figured you would go straight, you know, take the two weeks. 01:26:04.480 --> 01:26:09.620 No, I only wanted to take a week now because I do want to make sure that by 01:26:09.620 --> 01:26:12.900 the time I to get to the end of the year i still have three weeks because i'm 01:26:12.900 --> 01:26:17.200 going to take the last two weeks before the election and one week after the election off so oh. 01:26:17.200 --> 01:26:19.620 You know you you guys don't have unlimited vacation thing. 01:26:19.620 --> 01:26:21.500 No we we do not i. 01:26:21.500 --> 01:26:25.720 Thought you guys did okay now that's that blows okay all right. 01:26:26.380 --> 01:26:31.480 We do not, we do not, but, but I've, I'm constantly up at the limit. 01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:35.340 Like I keep getting the notices that like, I'm not accumulating time anymore 01:26:35.340 --> 01:26:36.420 because I've met the max. 01:26:36.580 --> 01:26:40.500 So I figure I'll take a week, you know, and then I'll probably take the Friday 01:26:40.500 --> 01:26:43.160 after the fourth because the fourth is on a Thursday this time. 01:26:43.340 --> 01:26:46.700 So I'll, I'll take that Friday too, but I will come back for the three days 01:26:46.700 --> 01:26:49.360 in between, even though it'll be like, yeah, whatever. 01:26:49.660 --> 01:26:53.980 Oh, okay.

Okay. 01:28:48.520 --> 01:28:53.000 Okay. That is about his high watermark for this time. 01:28:53.080 --> 01:28:56.020 It had been up and down. There was a higher point in December, 01:28:56.120 --> 01:28:57.720 blah, blah, blah, or early January. 01:28:57.740 --> 01:29:01.660 Actually the, his highest point so far, this entire election cycle was at the 01:29:01.660 --> 01:29:05.720 very beginning of January, but this particular time he peaked on. 01:29:06.540 --> 01:29:12.240 On May 7th, May 7th, 8th, yeah, 8th. There you go. And then ever since it's 01:29:12.240 --> 01:29:14.160 been dropping. So that's before the verdict. 01:29:14.760 --> 01:29:22.100 Since the verdict, it has dropped further. So from May 8th to the time the verdict 01:29:22.100 --> 01:29:26.460 was, it dropped from that 4.5% to 1.7. 01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:27.200 Okay. 01:29:27.340 --> 01:29:34.780 Since the verdict, it's continued down from 1.7 to 0.08 as of the time we're recording the show. 01:29:34.780 --> 01:29:41.260 So Trump is still ahead in that tipping point metric, but by a lot less than 01:29:41.260 --> 01:29:43.980 he was. His leads have been deteriorating. 01:29:44.260 --> 01:29:54.060 However, and so my uniform swing odds of a Biden win have gone in that same 01:29:54.060 --> 01:29:58.120 period from only 3.4% up to 27.2%. 01:29:58.120 --> 01:30:04.000 So big improvement for Biden, given where that tipping point has moved on the uniform swing one. 01:30:04.060 --> 01:30:06.800 But the uniform swing one is entirely based on the tipping point, 01:30:06.860 --> 01:30:10.340 essentially, because it just says how far does the tipping point have to move 01:30:10.340 --> 01:30:12.340 to win, given historical blah, blah, blah. 01:30:12.340 --> 01:30:18.920 The one thing to note, though, that has also been a trend in the last few weeks, 01:30:19.080 --> 01:30:20.460 including after the verdict, 01:30:20.700 --> 01:30:29.700 is that states that are on the Biden side of the line have been getting less strong for Biden. 01:30:30.380 --> 01:30:30.460 Okay. 01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:39.360 So states like Virginia and Minnesota are looking much, much closer than they used to be. 01:30:40.100 --> 01:30:43.360 and so if you look at my, 01:30:44.940 --> 01:30:51.380 the expected median value of what might happen for my probabilistic view and 01:30:51.380 --> 01:30:56.080 also even for my categorization view, it's actually moved a little bit back 01:30:56.080 --> 01:30:57.560 towards Trump in recent weeks. 01:30:58.020 --> 01:31:02.440 And that's partially, well, the categorization view is because Michigan moved 01:31:02.440 --> 01:31:03.760 back and forth across the line. 01:31:03.900 --> 01:31:10.380 But the independent state's view has been moving a little bit towards Trump 01:31:10.380 --> 01:31:20.720 because some Biden states that had fairly decent Biden leads are now fairly narrow Biden leads. 01:31:21.100 --> 01:31:23.740 So that's the dynamic that's been happening lately. 01:31:25.380 --> 01:31:29.560 We're still not 100% with my averages being after the trial, 01:31:29.660 --> 01:31:31.500 but things are bouncing around a little bit. 01:31:31.740 --> 01:31:36.260 And next week, we're going to have the debate. 01:31:36.420 --> 01:31:39.280 So at that point, we're not going to be able to separate what happened with 01:31:39.280 --> 01:31:42.140 the trial versus what happens at the debate, et cetera, et cetera. 01:31:42.620 --> 01:31:47.140 Anyway, I'll, and hopefully by next week, I will have done the stuff I talked 01:31:47.140 --> 01:31:52.200 about, about like odds that take into account how much time there is left before 01:31:52.200 --> 01:31:54.940 the election too, instead of being, if the election was today. 01:31:55.120 --> 01:31:56.400 Okay. Enough about that. 01:31:56.620 --> 01:32:03.560 So other, other political tickle things, political, is that what they call them? Tickle? 01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:06.680 Political. Tickle. Tickle. 01:32:07.360 --> 01:32:08.580 Political. Political. Yes. 01:32:09.280 --> 01:32:13.020 Is that what Trump is doing for the beeps takes? He's doing a tickle off? 01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:13.880 He... 01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:18.340 Yes, it would be interesting at Mar-a-Lago live. 01:32:18.980 --> 01:32:25.620 I mean, apparently the three finalists are Burgum. 01:32:26.760 --> 01:32:30.160 Oh, what's the Burgum? 01:32:30.160 --> 01:32:31.180 I can't remember fucking. 01:32:31.180 --> 01:32:35.120 Which one's Burgum North Dakota, South Dakota. He's a Dakota. 01:32:35.380 --> 01:32:38.620 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's one of the whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:42.400 Okay. Now I remember who he is. Burgum. Is that the guy to beat somebody? 01:32:43.280 --> 01:32:44.500 No, that's different. 01:32:45.260 --> 01:32:49.960 It's a different guy. Okay. He punched a reporter or something. Okay. 01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:55.920 That was like a House candidate in Montana or something. He was now in the House. 01:32:56.000 --> 01:32:57.500 I believe. Of course. 01:32:59.260 --> 01:33:03.960 Anyway, we got Burgum. We got from, I'm just trying to confirm. 01:33:04.360 --> 01:33:04.860 Vance? 01:33:04.980 --> 01:33:10.400 Which Ohio, which Dakota? Was he South Dakota or Burgum? 01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:15.800 North Dakota. North Dakota is Doug Burgum. bergham south dakota was the lady 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:20.540 who got herself out of the vp race by killing a dog oh. 01:33:20.540 --> 01:33:21.840 The one that oh well i i. 01:33:21.840 --> 01:33:23.580 Know no you. 01:33:23.580 --> 01:33:29.220 Know i still i'm i'm still surprised that that played against her in the gop. 01:33:29.220 --> 01:33:36.920 Anyway we got bergham we got vance and we got rubio were the the last three apparently okay i. 01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:40.280 Mean it's a parade of fucking hypocrites. 01:33:40.280 --> 01:33:48.720 Now yes all three of these people by the way had a phase in their careers where 01:33:48.720 --> 01:33:52.920 they where they significantly criticized donald trump and now they're sucking 01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:55.300 up to try to be vp all three of them yes. 01:33:55.300 --> 01:34:01.340 Look i am really at this point and i i i mentioned this that all these fucking 01:34:01.340 --> 01:34:09.740 people are just Just, I, it is the, these people to me are the most appalling of all. Okay. 01:34:10.040 --> 01:34:15.580 The ones who know better, but suck up anyway, because they want the influence power or whatever. 01:34:16.040 --> 01:34:20.600 Or did they, or no more. Well, that, well, yeah. Or the ones that choose, 01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:22.440 you know, conveniently will. 01:34:23.580 --> 01:34:29.520 You mentioned, the one that I loved is the guy that you mentioned at that Washington State Convention. 01:34:30.180 --> 01:34:30.660 Right. 01:34:31.060 --> 01:34:35.000 That you told me that the moment that he saw that Bernie Sanders... 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:37.380 So let me tell the story. Let me tell the story. 01:34:37.640 --> 01:34:40.940 Okay, you go tell the story. You tell the story, because that one was the best. 01:34:42.120 --> 01:34:49.680 I've told it on the show before. In 2016, I attended the Washington State Democratic Convention. 01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:53.000 convention and for those of you who remember there was a curmudgeons corner 01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:57.160 episode you can go find it in our archives i don't know the exact date but you 01:34:57.160 --> 01:35:03.140 can go find it in our archives and it was probably about this time because actually 01:35:03.140 --> 01:35:06.820 the washington state democratic convention is right now in. 01:35:06.820 --> 01:35:09.140 June okay so it was june 2016 it. 01:35:09.140 --> 01:35:14.640 Was in june 2016 probably my wife is at the convention right now like i said 01:35:14.640 --> 01:35:18.760 i anyway i think was that what she's at right now i think that's what she's at right now. 01:35:19.060 --> 01:35:23.440 Anyway, I went there and I recorded curmudgeon's corner there. 01:35:23.580 --> 01:35:26.200 I did interviews with a bunch of people at the convention. 01:35:26.480 --> 01:35:29.520 I talked about what was going on at the convention, et cetera. 01:35:29.660 --> 01:35:32.100 It was a long show. It was like a three hour show or something. 01:35:32.680 --> 01:35:39.340 Crazy nonsense, bullshit, whatever. But one of the people I interviewed was a Sanders delegate. 01:35:39.940 --> 01:35:44.200 And I actually, myself and a couple other people had dinner with him, blah, blah, blah. 01:35:44.500 --> 01:35:47.400 But one of the things, He was all in 01:35:47.400 --> 01:35:51.680 for Sanders and he was talking about like all these Sanders folks to the very 01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:56.200 last minute were thinking that somehow something was going to happen and they 01:35:56.200 --> 01:35:59.300 were going to change things around and get more Sanders delegates that they 01:35:59.300 --> 01:36:04.940 deserved and they were going to somehow win after all, even when the numbers were all against them. 01:36:04.940 --> 01:36:11.020 when we were we were talking to this guy at like some restaurant after the thing 01:36:11.020 --> 01:36:17.560 and it was absolutely clear that sanders was not going to be the nominee at 01:36:17.560 --> 01:36:20.180 this point he literally says well, 01:36:20.940 --> 01:36:28.220 that's fine because and he opens his backpack and pulls out a maga hat and puts 01:36:28.220 --> 01:36:30.560 it on and takes off his Sanders gear. 01:36:30.920 --> 01:36:36.020 I mean, how did everybody that saw this react? Because they had to be like, 01:36:36.970 --> 01:36:40.110 You know, I mean, what was the reaction? 01:36:41.170 --> 01:36:46.090 Well, I was incredulous. I was like, are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? 01:36:46.390 --> 01:36:51.590 But I don't remember what other people around were, but like, and he's like, no, no. 01:36:51.710 --> 01:36:56.290 And it's because that is, if we can't have Sanders, they're all the fucking same. 01:36:56.430 --> 01:37:00.570 And at least Donald Trump is the blah, blah, blah. Cause it was, it was 2016. 01:37:00.850 --> 01:37:06.930 So it was Hillary. And there was absolute hatred of Hillary amongst a lot of the Sanders folks. 01:37:07.110 --> 01:37:09.690 Not all of them, not all of them, but a lot of- 01:37:09.690 --> 01:37:11.750 But a good number of them, a good number of them. 01:37:11.850 --> 01:37:17.630 A good number of them. And there were probably enough people like him that out 01:37:17.630 --> 01:37:20.370 of the many things that gave us Donald Trump, 01:37:20.610 --> 01:37:26.430 the Sanders folks who either sat home and didn't vote and or voted for Trump, 01:37:26.610 --> 01:37:30.770 you're one of the reasons we had Donald Trump and still have him today. 01:37:30.770 --> 01:37:35.350 day not as president but still bothering us in many ways. 01:37:35.350 --> 01:37:40.330 Well well you know you well that example for example i mean i think back then 01:37:40.330 --> 01:37:43.970 there was a lot of the i do think that a lot of these were kind of like delusional 01:37:43.970 --> 01:37:46.690 about the whole damn thing and so oh. 01:37:46.690 --> 01:37:52.090 Yeah go you'll you can hear a whole interview with this guy on that curmudgeons corner go go find it. 01:37:52.090 --> 01:37:54.930 And so the one thing that happened to me this week 01:37:54.930 --> 01:37:58.530 was that i'm looking through my facebook and 01:37:58.530 --> 01:38:02.190 all of a sudden i get this ad by 01:38:02.190 --> 01:38:04.930 this guy or it wasn't an ad it was a 01:38:04.930 --> 01:38:08.130 post on his facebook page that used 01:38:08.130 --> 01:38:14.890 to be for his campaign showing him posting shit like he was a republican okay 01:38:14.890 --> 01:38:19.930 and that he was running for the for for the primary for the house but but this 01:38:19.930 --> 01:38:27.990 guy my entire life that i knew him and he had run and won several local elections was the Democrats. 01:38:28.890 --> 01:38:29.290 Okay. 01:38:29.650 --> 01:38:30.170 Okay. 01:38:30.470 --> 01:38:35.890 I mean, forever. He had been, you know, he was running for the school board, 01:38:35.970 --> 01:38:40.150 was trying to run against these very right wing people that were trying to get 01:38:40.150 --> 01:38:41.390 on the Palm beach school board. 01:38:41.730 --> 01:38:49.470 He had been on the city council and, you know, this guy had been a Democrat 01:38:49.470 --> 01:38:52.230 the entire time talking about, 01:38:53.090 --> 01:38:58.050 I mean, all the things, you know, that a Democrat is usually been talking about. 01:38:58.050 --> 01:39:03.510 And then all of a sudden, at the flip of a switch, he had lost a whole bunch 01:39:03.510 --> 01:39:06.270 of elections recently, okay? 01:39:06.570 --> 01:39:13.770 This is one of these people that just seemed like bent on winning a seat of some kind. 01:39:14.070 --> 01:39:14.630 Okay. 01:39:14.710 --> 01:39:20.170 Okay? For whatever reason. And so, well, the Democrats won't have me. 01:39:20.210 --> 01:39:21.430 I'll just be a Republican. 01:39:21.930 --> 01:39:24.730 And I'm just like, I'm sorry. but 01:39:24.730 --> 01:39:27.530 this isn't like i'm gonna wear 01:39:27.530 --> 01:39:30.310 a white shirt today and now i'm going to go 01:39:30.310 --> 01:39:33.810 with blue this isn't i mean i'm sorry but right 01:39:33.810 --> 01:39:40.050 now the political positions of both parties are so diametrically opposed that 01:39:40.050 --> 01:39:45.150 i'm sorry you can't go from the party that is trying to defend women's rights 01:39:45.150 --> 01:39:53.310 to the one that's trying to take them away for example or oh one that is you know inclusive of 01:39:53.670 --> 01:39:58.310 minorities and immigrants and the other one that basically wants to throw them all out. 01:39:59.150 --> 01:39:59.190 Right. 01:39:59.430 --> 01:40:01.970 I'm just... I'm just... 01:40:03.270 --> 01:40:09.230 I'm just stunned by this guy who I had, you know, had a good impression of and 01:40:09.230 --> 01:40:13.570 had, you know, talked to him about some local issues and supported him. 01:40:13.670 --> 01:40:17.230 And then just all of a sudden, just like that, that guy just whipped out the 01:40:17.230 --> 01:40:20.630 fucking hat and just went and like, oh, well, you know, fuck the immigrants. 01:40:21.090 --> 01:40:24.650 And because literally, because that's literally he was posting. 01:40:24.670 --> 01:40:27.110 I'm like, how do you now hate the immigrants? 01:40:27.670 --> 01:40:28.110 Right. 01:40:28.370 --> 01:40:29.470 You liked them before. 01:40:29.470 --> 01:40:34.330 Well, and to bring this back to the vice presidential thing, 01:40:34.530 --> 01:40:39.290 I mean, part of the reason to talk about this is Burgum, Vance, 01:40:39.410 --> 01:40:45.970 and Rubio have all talked about how Trump was a problem many years ago. 01:40:46.150 --> 01:40:50.910 Right. like bergham ran against trump at the beginning and like dropped out 01:40:50.910 --> 01:40:55.370 really quick because he wasn't doing well but rubio had this whole thing like 01:40:55.370 --> 01:41:00.110 i mean in 2016 he was the one that like sort of dive he. 01:41:00.110 --> 01:41:00.990 Was gonna save us. 01:41:00.990 --> 01:41:05.790 He dive bombed like like trump at that one debate and started talking about 01:41:05.790 --> 01:41:12.550 right small hands and stuff and like anyway he he self-immolated his sort of 01:41:12.550 --> 01:41:16.110 a to murder suicide with Chris Christie or whatever. 01:41:16.910 --> 01:41:22.070 Anyway, there are all sorts of quotes out here of all three of these people 01:41:22.070 --> 01:41:24.610 talking about Trump being problematic, and now they're sucking up to him. 01:41:24.730 --> 01:41:27.910 Before I forget, I looked up that episode. 01:41:28.730 --> 01:41:34.050 For anyone who wants to look for it, go to curmudgeons-corner.com, 01:41:34.250 --> 01:41:38.150 go to the 2016 section of the archives. 01:41:38.150 --> 01:41:52.030 It is episode 472, entitled Failing to Predict the Past, recorded on June 23rd, 2016. 01:41:53.480 --> 01:41:57.900 published on June 25th. It's two hours and 42 minutes long. 01:41:58.420 --> 01:42:03.240 And unfortunately, back then, like on the website, it's old enough that descriptions 01:42:03.240 --> 01:42:09.600 just say, show notes prior to Saturday, September 9th, 2017 are wonky. 01:42:09.780 --> 01:42:13.960 We are slowly fixing them. Apologies for the inconvenience. The description 01:42:13.960 --> 01:42:17.980 that should be there is this week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Yvonne's big 01:42:17.980 --> 01:42:23.020 topics are the gun control debate and the apparent Trump campaign implosion. 01:42:24.420 --> 01:42:27.060 No, fuck, we're so wrong. 01:42:27.340 --> 01:42:32.860 Other topics are kids' summer activities, Brexit, recorded before the vote, 01:42:32.980 --> 01:42:35.600 and the process of choosing presidential electors. 01:42:35.740 --> 01:42:40.760 For a change of pace, Sam wraps it up with interviews of several delegates to 01:42:40.760 --> 01:42:43.480 the 2016 Washington State Democratic Convention. 01:42:43.960 --> 01:42:50.220 So that's that show. And yeah, like I said, it recorded June 23rd. 01:42:50.220 --> 01:42:54.080 It is now June 22nd. This was almost exactly eight years ago today. 01:42:54.480 --> 01:43:01.520 So anyway, so back to the vice presidency, the yes, the three candidates are 01:43:01.520 --> 01:43:03.500 all hypocrites. They're all sucking up to Donald Trump. 01:43:04.060 --> 01:43:11.300 Apparently Rubio, while not fully Fully eliminated right now is probably about 01:43:11.300 --> 01:43:16.180 to be eliminated for one reason specifically. 01:43:16.620 --> 01:43:17.100 Which is? 01:43:17.260 --> 01:43:21.080 The Constitution prohibits the president and vice president from being from 01:43:21.080 --> 01:43:24.360 the same state. And right now they're both technically from Florida. 01:43:24.700 --> 01:43:27.320 Ah, okay. There you go. 01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:33.020 Now, so there has been some talk that Rubio could move. 01:43:34.560 --> 01:43:37.820 Move but he's a senator from florida. 01:43:37.820 --> 01:43:43.400 He's a senator and he might have to like resign the senate in order to do that 01:43:43.400 --> 01:43:48.160 which meant if him him and trump lose he'd be out like whereas he could he could 01:43:48.160 --> 01:43:51.000 run for vice president and stay in the senate oh he's. 01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:52.780 Not doing that no he's not down. 01:43:54.020 --> 01:43:57.080 Yeah and theoretically trump could move 01:43:57.080 --> 01:43:59.740 his registration too he could like registered or 01:43:59.740 --> 01:44:04.660 badminster in new jersey or something i don't know but you know and you know 01:44:04.660 --> 01:44:11.800 so apparently the two finalists are bergham and vance now this is as of reporting 01:44:11.800 --> 01:44:17.200 in the last day or two trump trump could change his mind up until the very last second well. 01:44:17.200 --> 01:44:22.440 That's that's the thing i mean i don't believe i i mean knowing trump it's going 01:44:22.440 --> 01:44:27.900 to come down to whatever the fuck you know all he woke up that morning and feels like. 01:44:28.700 --> 01:44:33.680 Well, and also, I mean, I heard somebody talking like somebody on some news 01:44:33.680 --> 01:44:39.840 show earlier today asked whoever they were interviewing something about like, 01:44:39.920 --> 01:44:43.500 would, if they were vice president, uh, 01:44:44.020 --> 01:44:49.480 Would they be fully loyal to Donald Trump and not do like what Pence did? 01:44:49.860 --> 01:44:57.360 And I'm like, you know, Donald Trump's entire process is going to be make damn 01:44:57.360 --> 01:45:03.300 sure that they will do whatever you want without question, no matter what. 01:45:03.540 --> 01:45:05.000 Right. Exactly. 01:45:05.460 --> 01:45:10.560 And if he has the slightest bit of doubt that says you might not, 01:45:10.700 --> 01:45:14.600 you are not going to be the candidate. it you know you. 01:45:14.600 --> 01:45:18.260 Know you know one of the problems with those guys that i've noticed like the 01:45:18.260 --> 01:45:23.140 ones that he chooses that have that that that unwinding loyalty is they all wind up in jail, 01:45:26.360 --> 01:45:30.000 all of them have you not noticed yes. 01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:34.220 Like you know basically his all his staff choices. 01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:37.340 Are all like cons well. 01:45:37.340 --> 01:45:40.020 No there's two possibilities either. 01:45:40.020 --> 01:45:41.340 They end up showing. 01:45:41.340 --> 01:45:46.320 Showing some sort of backbone or independence in which case he stabs them in the back. 01:45:46.320 --> 01:45:47.760 They're done or. 01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:53.700 They do undying loyalty and end up indicted in jail whatever. 01:45:53.700 --> 01:45:55.060 Exactly and. 01:45:55.060 --> 01:46:01.420 And these are the two kinds that come out of of a trump administration. 01:46:01.420 --> 01:46:06.060 It could i could i you know as we're looking here and talking about the people 01:46:06.060 --> 01:46:09.520 the administration or whatever And I was talking about hypocrisy. 01:46:09.580 --> 01:46:12.720 I pulled up the Wikipedia page for Marco Rubio. 01:46:12.880 --> 01:46:19.580 There is a picture here where he is hugging the Senate, the Florida House, 01:46:19.740 --> 01:46:26.260 and he is the Senate president because he was the House speaker in the state of Florida. Right. 01:46:26.380 --> 01:46:32.160 And he is embracing him after the Florida House's unanimous approval of the 01:46:32.160 --> 01:46:38.240 Florida Senate's resolution to formally express deep regret for slavery in March of 2008. 01:46:38.780 --> 01:46:39.580 Okay. 01:46:40.360 --> 01:46:46.760 Could you believe that a GOP House actually passed such a legislation? Yeah. 01:46:52.150 --> 01:46:58.970 now now you know they would probably be passing one you know talking about the benefits of slavery. 01:46:58.970 --> 01:47:07.390 Well here here's the thing since 2016 like the republican party before 2016 01:47:07.390 --> 01:47:13.530 and after 2016 are not the same thing at all it's not even comparable not. 01:47:13.530 --> 01:47:20.170 Not even remotely close i mean I mean, anything that if you're a Republican 01:47:20.170 --> 01:47:24.370 that went into a coma, okay, in the year 2000, 01:47:24.770 --> 01:47:31.550 okay, and you woke up now, you're like going, what the fuck happened? 01:47:31.970 --> 01:47:32.570 Right. 01:47:33.110 --> 01:47:37.250 I mean, you would be like, what happened? Oh, you know. 01:47:37.810 --> 01:47:41.990 Which honestly makes you wonder why people like George W. 01:47:42.070 --> 01:47:48.650 Bush don't say more than they do. they just he he's been very quiet i mean he 01:47:48.650 --> 01:47:53.410 he clearly doesn't like trump but he's not willing to like he's not gonna well 01:47:53.410 --> 01:47:58.210 it would be a shock let's put it this way it would be if if like he showed up 01:47:58.210 --> 01:48:01.610 at at biden's convention or something well. 01:48:01.610 --> 01:48:08.410 I think his family and things have said things and they have been so they have been so vilified. 01:48:08.410 --> 01:48:11.950 Yes there there there was a quote in the, 01:48:12.690 --> 01:48:15.870 there's a yeah there there's a quote in the 2016 01:48:15.870 --> 01:48:19.350 thing when we were in 2016 before 01:48:19.350 --> 01:48:23.050 george hw bush died there 01:48:23.050 --> 01:48:29.350 were reports that he had said that he was voting for hillary clinton and that 01:48:29.350 --> 01:48:33.310 he supported her and liked her and she was a great lady blah blah blah but it 01:48:33.310 --> 01:48:37.050 was all sort of like ah he's getting old he doesn't know what he's saying you 01:48:37.050 --> 01:48:41.450 know but you know i i think you're right like Like a lot of it is like, 01:48:42.300 --> 01:48:46.720 Even the people who say, who think those who are like, you know, 01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:50.460 there, there's many forms of cowardice on the Republican side. 01:48:50.840 --> 01:48:54.560 There's a people who are in office who realize it would be political suicide 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:58.840 within the Republican party to actually go straight up against Donald Trump 01:48:58.840 --> 01:49:04.140 and say all the kinds of things that Chris Christie said, or that Lynn Cheney says, 01:49:04.300 --> 01:49:08.900 or any of these folks there, they've basically been exiled from the party. 01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:10.420 Their political careers are over. 01:49:11.300 --> 01:49:18.340 and then there's people who are honestly scared for their physical safety yeah you know, 01:49:19.460 --> 01:49:25.040 for like somebody like w i don't like he's got secret service protection he's 01:49:25.040 --> 01:49:27.800 not running for office again you'd think he could say something but like you 01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:30.860 said they go after families and stuff too like they. 01:49:30.860 --> 01:49:31.500 Go after family. 01:49:31.500 --> 01:49:41.300 People are scared like you know i i think if if you got W in a candid moment by himself, 01:49:41.520 --> 01:49:46.780 he'd tell you like that he agrees with everybody else that Donald is dangerous 01:49:46.780 --> 01:49:48.920 and bad and blah, blah, blah. 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:57.540 And I, you know, I don't know, maybe not, but I don't know. Maybe I think too much of W, you know? 01:49:58.700 --> 01:50:03.900 No, no, no. I think you're right. And there has been a whole bunch of indirect 01:50:03.900 --> 01:50:05.460 indicators that that is the case. 01:50:05.460 --> 01:50:11.240 Yeah anyway so we talked about we're pretty much out of time so like other other 01:50:11.240 --> 01:50:17.460 things just quick hits scotus came out with some decisions this week as sort 01:50:17.460 --> 01:50:22.800 of mixed bag they've been doing lately but the key ones that the key ones are 01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:25.440 still waiting right theoretically, 01:50:26.120 --> 01:50:32.180 on their normal calendar they should finish next week but every once in a while 01:50:32.180 --> 01:50:35.440 they've They've slipped into July in order to finish things up, 01:50:35.480 --> 01:50:37.360 and they've still got a lot of cases left. 01:50:38.200 --> 01:50:43.320 And the Trump immunity case is one of them. I predicted before that that's going 01:50:43.320 --> 01:50:48.200 to be the very, very last case that they announce is going to be the Trump immunity 01:50:48.200 --> 01:50:51.040 one on whatever day that is. We'll see. 01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:58.140 There are a few other big cases expected. This week, what? They had the gun case. 01:50:58.500 --> 01:51:06.280 SCOTUS 8-1 said that, yes, you can prohibit people convicted of domestic violence from carrying guns. 01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:11.160 Yeah. Of course, the one was Thomas in the 8-1. 01:51:11.180 --> 01:51:11.820 Oh, you don't say. 01:51:15.480 --> 01:51:19.240 Wow i'm shocked yes anyway so 01:51:19.240 --> 01:51:22.840 there's scoda stuff there'll be more scoda stuff that's still waiting we do 01:51:22.840 --> 01:51:27.920 have the debate coming up next week as of today it's still on you know people 01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:32.160 keep saying well maybe trump will skip out on it maybe something will happen 01:51:32.160 --> 01:51:36.500 we'll see it's it's next week it's coming soon look. 01:51:36.500 --> 01:51:42.380 Every time i keep listen every time i look at at at the rules for with this 01:51:42.380 --> 01:51:50.940 debate and i i am thinking how did he agree to all this there is you know objectively, 01:51:52.400 --> 01:51:57.220 nothing in this debate helps him i'm still confused as why he's going through with it. 01:51:57.220 --> 01:52:02.640 I mean when we did our predictions in december we said if if trump was the nominee 01:52:02.640 --> 01:52:05.820 there would be no debates i am surprised that's. 01:52:05.820 --> 01:52:08.620 Right i'm shocked i don't understand. 01:52:08.620 --> 01:52:11.120 Like what's in it for him. 01:52:11.440 --> 01:52:11.920 Right. 01:52:12.520 --> 01:52:15.440 I mean, the only thing I can think of. 01:52:15.780 --> 01:52:17.100 Yeah. What do you think? 01:52:17.220 --> 01:52:22.880 I think he believes his own hype about Biden being senile and thinks he's going 01:52:22.880 --> 01:52:24.460 to be able to walk circles around him. 01:52:24.600 --> 01:52:28.060 That may be it. And that may be it. 01:52:28.240 --> 01:52:32.680 And the thing is, so the only thing I mean, the thing is, all I'm seeing here 01:52:32.680 --> 01:52:36.380 is how Biden could make him look like an idiot. 01:52:37.140 --> 01:52:40.360 Because you know that he is going to be out of control. 01:52:41.390 --> 01:52:46.370 I mean, how is he not going to be out of control? You can bet your ass that 01:52:46.370 --> 01:52:51.010 they will mute that microphone and he's going to be trying to be yelling and, 01:52:51.030 --> 01:52:54.370 you know, hollering and being angry and. 01:52:54.370 --> 01:52:59.010 Still be heard. Yeah, that's right. Because, and I said this before, 01:52:59.110 --> 01:53:02.290 like, yeah, they're going to turn off his microphone, but they're only going 01:53:02.290 --> 01:53:03.490 to be standing a few feet apart. 01:53:03.750 --> 01:53:07.590 Biden's microphone will pick up Trump, you know, when he's like acting up. 01:53:07.590 --> 01:53:13.050 You remember in the Hillary debate, he was pacing and walking over to her and blah, blah, blah. 01:53:13.150 --> 01:53:15.310 Yes, yes, yes. 01:53:15.730 --> 01:53:19.170 He's going to do all that nonsense and shit he does. 01:53:20.050 --> 01:53:24.930 There have been more and more stories the last few weeks about Donald Trump's 01:53:24.930 --> 01:53:27.490 own cognitive issues. shoes. 01:53:27.830 --> 01:53:28.990 Holy shit. 01:53:29.410 --> 01:53:34.430 Like problems with his memory, him being like incoherent in his speeches. 01:53:34.430 --> 01:53:37.790 Last week we talked about the thing with the sharks and the batteries, 01:53:37.930 --> 01:53:42.870 you know, I, I, I don't know if you listened, I included the actual clip in 01:53:42.870 --> 01:53:47.550 the final episode, you know, all of this. So we'll see. 01:53:47.950 --> 01:53:53.770 Now here's the thing on all of the other debates that Trump has been in both 01:53:53.770 --> 01:54:00.450 against Hillary and against Biden, um, he's managed to kind of hold it together. 01:54:01.130 --> 01:54:06.630 Like you always expect him to go off the rails and he sort of goes part way up to the line. 01:54:06.710 --> 01:54:12.330 But listen, I, I don't think you're, listen, I don't listen. He did really, really. 01:54:12.330 --> 01:54:14.410 But he's a different person than he was four years ago. 01:54:14.810 --> 01:54:18.770 And no, but, but not just that. Listen, I think you're forgetting it. 01:54:19.130 --> 01:54:23.470 Don't you remember the debate against Hillary that he did so fucking bad that 01:54:23.470 --> 01:54:27.210 he ripped up the fucking, you know, know he ripped up his notes like at the 01:54:27.210 --> 01:54:33.930 end that was like the thing yeah he did he did not do well it was a disaster no. 01:54:33.930 --> 01:54:41.610 He we we said this last week he's lost every debate he's been in it just doesn't end up mattering. 01:54:41.610 --> 01:54:50.070 Well here's the one thing though i i will say that in one of the things that 01:54:50.150 --> 01:54:56.430 we, that is a huge difference right now is that this debate is happening in June. 01:54:56.590 --> 01:55:01.730 Yes. We never have these debates now. No. And one of the things that we have 01:55:01.730 --> 01:55:06.330 been going on about is looking at the polling data, what the hell is going on, 01:55:06.450 --> 01:55:14.570 is where the low information voters that have not been engaged are. Right. 01:55:15.090 --> 01:55:19.070 And so a lot of the things that happen is that when that debate happens, 01:55:19.250 --> 01:55:23.510 like in September, OK, well, the conventions happen. 01:55:23.730 --> 01:55:27.650 So they all know who the candidates are and everything being like whatever. 01:55:27.810 --> 01:55:30.910 So, you know, for sure, it's, you know, like a whole bunch of people. 01:55:30.950 --> 01:55:34.290 It's not, you know, there's still a whole bunch of people clinging to like, 01:55:34.510 --> 01:55:36.710 you know, I don't know, somebody else's. 01:55:36.770 --> 01:55:37.590 Maybe it won't be them. 01:55:38.430 --> 01:55:42.910 Maybe it won't be them and shit like that. They are so low information. They have no idea. 01:55:43.390 --> 01:55:48.710 And so having this debate now, I think will have more of an impact than the 01:55:48.710 --> 01:55:50.910 usual debate because it's now. 01:55:51.450 --> 01:55:55.590 So all of a sudden it cuts through that bullshit of people that people are just 01:55:55.590 --> 01:55:58.670 thinking that this election is not going to be Trump versus Biden. 01:55:58.950 --> 01:56:05.690 And another thing I saw, they did dump the presidential debate commission specifically 01:56:05.690 --> 01:56:07.690 to like freeze out Kennedy. He 01:56:07.690 --> 01:56:11.290 didn't qualify like CNN made some rules and Kennedy didn't qualify anyway. 01:56:11.470 --> 01:56:15.150 But one of the reasons that both Biden and Trump were like. 01:56:15.230 --> 01:56:17.270 Let's say you want this clown in there. 01:56:17.370 --> 01:56:21.110 They didn't want this clown. They also like felt like I agree. 01:56:21.390 --> 01:56:24.530 They felt like the presidential debate commission hadn't run well. 01:56:24.630 --> 01:56:26.670 The ones in the last couple of cycles, whatever. 01:56:27.190 --> 01:56:32.750 But CNN is doing it. But unlike like some of the like like the primary debates 01:56:32.750 --> 01:56:35.870 and I think even debate like this will be simulcast. 01:56:36.470 --> 01:56:40.130 CNN is running it, but this is going to be on all the networks. 01:56:40.630 --> 01:56:41.030 Okay. 01:56:41.330 --> 01:56:46.510 Lots of people are going to see this, you know, and yeah, lots of people are 01:56:46.510 --> 01:56:49.910 going to be tuned out, but like this is going to, because it's going to be everywhere. 01:56:50.370 --> 01:56:53.530 This is going to be the ones where people flip, you know, the old fashioned 01:56:53.530 --> 01:56:57.690 people who are still watching linear TV and flipping channels are going to hit 01:56:57.690 --> 01:57:01.290 this and be like, Oh, debate, debate. 01:57:01.450 --> 01:57:04.690 You know, it's the only thing on, I guess I'll watch it right now. 01:57:04.850 --> 01:57:13.590 Right. For, For most people our age and younger, we're not linear TV anyway anymore, but still. 01:57:13.890 --> 01:57:17.110 Well, but it's going to be streaming. It's going to be on a whole bunch of, yeah. 01:57:18.210 --> 01:57:21.590 It's going to be everywhere. It's going to be hard to avoid. 01:57:21.750 --> 01:57:24.670 I mean, the people who want to avoid it will be able to do whatever they want, 01:57:24.750 --> 01:57:28.730 as they always will. But lots of people are going to see this debate. 01:57:29.810 --> 01:57:33.210 And so you may be right. It may have an impact. And of course, 01:57:33.210 --> 01:57:34.770 it all depends on how it goes, right? Right. 01:57:34.790 --> 01:57:44.590 Does everybody sort of do both candidates basically behave as expected or are there surprises? 01:57:44.930 --> 01:57:50.770 Do we actually see like Donald Trump completely incoherent? Do we see Biden 01:57:50.770 --> 01:57:52.250 completely incoherent? 01:57:52.310 --> 01:57:57.330 Does one of them have the heart attack that you dreamt about? You know, I don't know. 01:57:57.330 --> 01:58:04.790 Oh, listen, if that happens, if my fucking dream becomes a reality, I'm going to be scared. 01:58:04.850 --> 01:58:08.050 I mean, I'm going to be scared. I'm like, what the fuck? 01:58:08.370 --> 01:58:10.070 Yes. Well, you know. 01:58:10.910 --> 01:58:14.790 not not predicting or what anything but you 01:58:14.790 --> 01:58:20.350 know and then there's the usual like you know debates usually don't have an 01:58:20.350 --> 01:58:25.050 effect but every once in a while there's a really memorable line that gets talked 01:58:25.050 --> 01:58:30.350 about a lot every once in a while somebody screws up entirely in a way that 01:58:30.350 --> 01:58:33.250 like causes a major problem you. 01:58:33.250 --> 01:58:36.750 Know the one thing that right now because there's so much shit that's happened 01:58:36.750 --> 01:58:41.110 to Trump, there are so many good lines that you could have prepared to fucking torpedo him. 01:58:42.110 --> 01:58:48.690 I was just practicing. The other day, I don't remember, but I was just thinking of something. 01:58:50.230 --> 01:58:55.770 It's like, well, I'm going to be the first president ever to something. 01:58:55.970 --> 01:59:01.050 You can tell, yeah, the first convicted felon president, that's going to look great on everybody. 01:59:01.910 --> 01:59:07.030 You could hit him with shit. Holy shit, you could have a field day. 01:59:07.250 --> 01:59:12.050 You can't, but you, you can have a field day on sort of serious stuff like that. 01:59:12.230 --> 01:59:16.190 You can also like a number of people have said, if you really want to get under 01:59:16.190 --> 01:59:21.930 Trump's skin and get him to lose control, the way to do it is mocking him. 01:59:21.990 --> 01:59:22.230 Yeah. 01:59:22.390 --> 01:59:28.670 Like treat him like a joke, treat him with no respect whatsoever that he is 01:59:28.670 --> 01:59:34.810 beneath you because his whole personality personality, or his whole personality disorder, 01:59:35.150 --> 01:59:40.170 if you want to put it that way, is around propping up his ego and about how 01:59:40.170 --> 01:59:43.570 he is important and wonderful and great. 01:59:43.690 --> 01:59:49.130 And having someone directly confront him with, no, you are a fucking joke, 01:59:49.350 --> 01:59:51.570 is the thing that injures him the most. 01:59:51.690 --> 01:59:56.250 Now, I don't know how good Biden would be at that or whether Biden wants to 01:59:56.250 --> 02:00:02.290 be the one to do that, as opposed to, you know, sort of more, 02:00:02.490 --> 02:00:07.830 you know, like, you know, Michelle Obama's, like when they go low, 02:00:07.870 --> 02:00:12.010 we go high thing didn't really work all that well in 2016. 02:00:12.470 --> 02:00:14.250 No, no. 02:00:15.210 --> 02:00:20.970 So maybe, maybe try something different, but Biden very much like Biden very 02:00:20.970 --> 02:00:26.470 much has the the mindset that he, he so much wants things to go back to, 02:00:26.590 --> 02:00:29.650 you know, we are, we disagree, 02:00:29.810 --> 02:00:34.410 but we all love the country and we'll work together in the end and blah, blah, blah. 02:00:34.890 --> 02:00:35.850 Listen, I. 02:00:36.780 --> 02:00:41.600 His ads lately have been different. Okay. Related to this. 02:00:41.820 --> 02:00:44.900 Oh, they have. Yeah. There've been a couple that have been really pointed. 02:00:45.200 --> 02:00:50.960 You know, they, they have been, he has been mocking him repeatedly on shit that 02:00:50.960 --> 02:00:53.320 he said and so forth. So, so they, they. 02:00:53.320 --> 02:00:59.100 They, oh, and the, the, the, the Biden, Biden Harris HQ account on threads is 02:00:59.100 --> 02:01:06.120 just constantly it's whole modus operandi is just posting things that Donald 02:01:06.220 --> 02:01:10.980 Trump has said himself and basically where he looks like a jackass. 02:01:11.020 --> 02:01:15.920 You know, but, but what a one thing that I'm saying is that you see a lot of 02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:19.780 posted Biden videos in which, you know, like, 02:01:19.880 --> 02:01:23.560 I can't remember the one that he's, which one of the crazy things that he said 02:01:23.560 --> 02:01:26.740 that, you know, he was like, wait, oh, the, the one about the Nazis. 02:01:26.740 --> 02:01:32.720 okay you know where he was like wait he really posted this the hell you know 02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:36.460 so he they've been doing a lot more of that so we'll see what what the debate 02:01:36.460 --> 02:01:40.100 brings so next thursday right where it's like well. 02:01:40.100 --> 02:01:46.160 And there is a different there is a difference though between things the campaign 02:01:46.160 --> 02:01:51.500 does or people do on biden's behalf versus things he says himself to donald 02:01:51.500 --> 02:01:54.480 trump's face and like Like how that dynamic works, 02:01:54.580 --> 02:01:57.600 I guess we'll see. I want, I'll tell you what I want. 02:01:57.680 --> 02:02:02.360 I want aggressive, pointed, state of the union style Biden. 02:02:03.360 --> 02:02:06.100 Yeah, that's what I want. That's the guy I want. 02:02:06.640 --> 02:02:10.760 And, you know, Donald Trump has been all about like, oh, Biden's going to come 02:02:10.760 --> 02:02:11.920 out all drugged and stuff. 02:02:12.080 --> 02:02:16.660 And that's partly to like, you know, to sort of set expectations there. 02:02:17.320 --> 02:02:22.920 Both camps, everybody always wants set expectations low for their candidate and high for the others. 02:02:23.080 --> 02:02:25.840 so that, you know, if they don't do well, they can say, well, 02:02:25.920 --> 02:02:27.420 we always knew it was going to turn out that way. 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:32.100 But honestly, you know, Donald Trump and his camp of all and Fox News and everybody 02:02:32.100 --> 02:02:35.820 have been like, you know, Joe Biden's going to come out all hyped up. 02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:38.500 He's going to be on like whatever drugs they need to pep him up. 02:02:38.740 --> 02:02:44.600 You know, I'm like, if that's what it takes, okay, give him some Adderall, 02:02:44.720 --> 02:02:47.280 fine, whatever, you know, whatever you need to do. 02:02:48.740 --> 02:02:53.600 You know listen considering what we know about all the drugs that were being 02:02:53.600 --> 02:02:58.500 dispensed without any control at the white house in trump's administration in 02:02:58.500 --> 02:03:04.260 trump's administration okay all right which violated every fucking rule related to this everybody. 02:03:04.260 --> 02:03:07.980 Was on every sort of upper drug you could possibly think of there. 02:03:07.980 --> 02:03:12.560 There it says handing them out like candy okay OK, and then I'm sorry, 02:03:12.660 --> 02:03:17.640 but if you haven't seen, you know, Donald Trump Jr., like in every video that 02:03:17.640 --> 02:03:21.340 he's been on lately, look, I mean, seriously, 02:03:21.740 --> 02:03:24.360 that guy has to be on cocaine regularly. 02:03:24.720 --> 02:03:27.940 There is no other explanation for how he looks. 02:03:28.750 --> 02:03:32.830 And back to Donald Trump himself, I mean, back in the other debates, 02:03:32.930 --> 02:03:40.490 you know, in 2016 and 2020, there was talk about, is Donald Trump on something? 02:03:40.610 --> 02:03:45.230 Yeah. During the debate, you know, because one of the people talked about how 02:03:45.230 --> 02:03:47.090 much he sniffled during the debates. 02:03:47.290 --> 02:03:50.050 Oh, the sniff. I forgot about the sniffling. 02:03:51.110 --> 02:03:54.090 And nobody, who knows? There's no proof of anything. thing. 02:03:54.110 --> 02:03:57.710 There was also talk about how sort of the first half of the debate, 02:03:57.850 --> 02:04:01.710 he basically kept it together and he sort of deteriorated for the second half. 02:04:01.890 --> 02:04:03.610 So the dose was wearing off. 02:04:03.870 --> 02:04:08.930 But yeah, so the dose was wearing off. But frankly, you're doing a two-hour debate. 02:04:09.350 --> 02:04:14.230 I would wear off by the second half too. Whether I'd taken anything or not, 02:04:14.470 --> 02:04:17.770 I'd be flagging by the second half of that debate. 02:04:18.010 --> 02:04:22.590 I don't know. It really depends. I don't know.
