2:10

2:12
up the floor. I want to welcome today's
2:14
guests in our third seed. She is a
2:16
hilarious stand up comedian. You probably know her

from America's Got Town. Maybe seen her
2:20
on Fallon or The Tonight Show, or maybe
2:22

2:27
Lee's welcome Jackie,
2:29
fabulous with the JA.
2:33
Let it do not much, not much?
2:35
What's going on, Jackie? Did I hear you say Lancashire?
2:38
Is that? And no? Did you mean like North
2:41
Hollywood? Yeah? That's that's yeah.
2:43
Look, this is me right here. That's where. Oh
2:46
don't, don't, don't be that proud. It's not that. It's
2:49
oh yeah, it's rough over it don't. Yeah,
2:52
it's like New Jersey. That's what I'm compared to.
2:54
It's like the same way, you know, like people look
2:56
at people from the valley, like bridge and tunnel people, and
2:58
I'm like, yeah, that's pass.
3:01
Yeah. I lived on Larl Canyon Boulevard, so
3:04
I was always for some reason there
3:06
you go, the whole North Hollywood gang up in here
3:08
right now. Everybody starts in North
3:10
Hollywood. I feel like I would sit in that
3:12
park on Magnolia and the condem plate where
3:15
where it all went wrong? Just think about your existence.
3:19
If you're lucky, it's first Friday, you know
3:22
what's so wild? And people who listen to the show know that
3:25
park, that Amelia Earhart Park right there. That's
3:27
where my dad told me he was leaving my mom. Oh
3:30
my god. My whole life revolves
3:33
around growth on that park. I remember
3:35
Breaking Neck by Buster Rhymes was playing, and people
3:37
who already listen to show, they already know Mark seven.
3:39
And you still live there. You're like, I'm not gonna leave you. I
3:41
can handle a drown, can't. Yeah, if that's it, if
3:43
that's all you got, yeah, good,
3:46
good money. But Jackie, so
3:48
you have But I was asking you before you have a j D.
3:51
Yes, so you So if we
3:53
get into if I have any legal questions,
3:55
I can posit those to you as well as
3:57
their corporate and it's their federal mean,
4:00
you don't have to have a bar card. Um,
4:03
I'm not a license attorney, so I can
4:05
help you when you have a law degree. You're
4:07
a lawyer. But to be able to
4:09
help you if you get a d U I whatever, you gotta be
4:11
licensed per state and did not take
4:14
the bar in California, no reason.
4:16
I was just lazy and for fear and because
4:18
I moved to California to go to law school and then I
4:20
looped when I was there, and you know, I divorced
4:23
him and then but I finished school. So
4:25
you know, I'm one of those where entertainment
4:27
was kind of an accident. That was bored, that was a
4:29
funny girl at work. But I wasn't funny annoying. I
4:31
was funny, like, hey, you should try because
4:34
I was in Cali, and you know, and if
4:36
anybody sees talent that like you should try
4:38
football thing, you're really good, you know, so
4:41
very encouraging in Hollywood. So I just didn't
4:44
stand up after work for fun. But
4:46
you know, the corporate world, did
4:48
you have like a dream to do comedy
4:51
or you kind of always probably knew you had the gift
4:53
to gab and were quite pursuing it, or how did
4:55
that work? I didn't. I didn't know that you can make
4:57
it. For some reason, every town,
4:59
and my opinion is a small town. It doesn't have to be
5:01
in Minnesota, and I've got to be Wisconsin. I
5:04
was in the Bronx, and every town when you're
5:06
sheltered from the outside world in
5:08
a small town and all we did was watch
5:10
TV. No one in my family was
5:12
an entertainment. My father thought he was the funniest
5:14
one. So I had I had no reference
5:17
of I could be an entertainment. And
5:19
it wasn't until I moved to Cali and
5:22
people were like, you're funny or what TV
5:24
show are you are? You're an actor? And after why
5:26
you like? Why am I keep asking me? That? Let
5:29
means, you know, should I try it? Because I hated everything?
5:31
I tried everything thus far? Right, that
5:33
was a regular job, right, yeah, so I was like why
5:35
not? And I did it with no expectation.
5:37
That's probably why I stuck with it, because it wasn't I
5:39
would I already had my day job, right, right,
5:42
but cal Tech? When cal Tech fired me
5:44
in two thousand and ten, that's when I'm like,
5:46
oh, guess was a full time comic. Now
5:49
there the world is better because I
5:52
was saying, I really like, I think so many people, right,
5:55
we we put so much pressure on ourselves
5:57
to achieve a certain way or to be at a certain
5:59
place said a certain time. And I
6:01
think at the end of the day, right, everybody has
6:04
their own path. Everybody walks. Everybody
6:06
gets to where they're going in their own way. And just
6:08
because you're not going straight A to B, you
6:10
might go A, B, C, D and end up at
6:12
J, but J might be where you want to be. It you
6:15
gotta give yourself to the freedom to
6:17
do that. I love hearing stories like that. Every experience
6:19
is valuable. I have a good example.
6:21
We all know Abvid Elementary, The Biggest,
6:24
the Biggest World. Janelle James,
6:26
the Fellow Comics. She was in New York
6:29
doing stand up and I was in my first
6:31
time seeing her and since the explosion
6:33
of her career, and I said, how do you
6:35
feel like you? And She's like, I don't have
6:37
a whole bunch of goals whatever. When she was on a Kimmel
6:40
he was like, so what's next? You know, So what's next?
6:42
And She's like, I'm letting the universe take me where it wants
6:44
to go. Jimmy and she says
6:47
that to him and then to me, I'm like, girl, are
6:49
you are you okay? Like
6:52
like who you
6:54
are you hydrated? Like you're eating you know, fruit
6:56
and stuff. And she said to me, Jackie,
6:58
all I want at this point is, you know, I want
7:00
a good man, I want, you know, good cocktails
7:03
and good money, and you know I mean,
7:05
and I'm like, okay, that's
7:08
really how she felt, and it clearly is working. She's
7:10
all the pressure she's probably had on ourselves.
7:12
She took it off and and had fun with
7:14
the audition and with the problem, and
7:16
the next thing you know, she's in a head. She is a hit.
7:19
You gotta relax. I just gotta relax the goals a little
7:21
bit. Yeah, absolutely, and just
7:23
like you know, let there again. I feel like I always
7:25
tell people life is like a river, you know what I mean,
7:28
Like it's going to pull you in a direction. But sometimes
7:30
we hit rocks and shipped on our way, and those
7:33
rocks are obstacles, and we're like, sometimes
7:35
we cling to the rocks in the river, these
7:37
obstacles. We don't let go of ship, when
7:40
really you'd be like, just let go, because that's the river
7:42
will keep taking you if you keep yourself
7:44
free. Just stop clinging to ship
7:46
and watch what happens. Why. That's
7:49
why I was in l A so long. I'm like, I can't.
7:51
You can't make it and leave right
7:53
right? Right? You can go right and then you
7:55
go to New York and look at you now, well, jack
7:58
this is fantastic. And you know what before we
8:00
get to know even better, Joel, you're going
8:02
are you? You're so you're taking your mom to this Usher
8:04
concert? And so act I wish
8:06
she's taking me. So what happened
8:08
is she she's friends with
8:10
all of her like kindergarten buddies,
8:12
like they say in touch or whatever, and they're
8:14
like, well, we're turning sixty. What should we do? So the first they went and
8:17
saw Janet Jackson and concert in Ohio,
8:20
and then they're gonna see us Share in Las
8:22
Vegas. And I was like, I want to see I've
8:24
never seen us share. But he was on my bedroom all
8:26
when I was thirteen, and I think it's not fair that
8:29
you go. And I was just like, well, why don't you come on? And
8:31
all my friends want to meet you anyway, because we grew
8:33
up in the same town where she grew up, and I was
8:35
like, I would love to do that. I'm gonna
8:37
go hang out with all these women who dared sixty
8:40
and go see Usher. Hopefully they won't
8:42
be too drunk or belligerent, but get
8:45
ready to see a whole new side, Auntie.
8:48
Get ready?
8:51
Okay, man, you gotta let
8:53
me know how that show is. I can't wait. I
8:55
hear is awesome. I hear is amazing. Already
8:57
skates through like an entire act and ready
9:00
for it on skates
9:06
and Mr Raymond, you don't
9:08
play. I know, I don't know why I expected anything less
9:11
from him, Like I mean, his gliding already
9:13
without skates was next lef okay.
9:15
But here let's talk about just before
9:18
we get to know Jackie even better. I want to let people know what we're
9:20
gonna talk about. We're talking about. First, we're gonna talk about
9:22
the name monkey pox and how that has
9:24
become stupidly politicized
9:26
and the you know, the task of
9:28
trying to change the name monkey pox for various
9:31
problematic reasons I'm sure we can all
9:33
think of. Then we'll also talk about how Donald
9:35
Trump is both siding his
9:38
own endorsements, like he's
9:40
trying to pick two winners. I don't know, I'll explain
9:43
it. It's very uh, it's very childish.
9:45
Then we'll talk about don't you remember those
9:47
campaigns like in the late nineties early two thousands
9:50
that was like you wouldn't steal a car, would
9:52
you? So you shouldn't pirate VHS
9:54
tapes and everybody was like, Okay, watching
9:56
me pirate the funk out of everything burns
9:59
out. Those fucking
10:01
p s a s may have actually
10:03
increased piracy and the Yeah,
10:07
well, we'll get into the psychology of why
10:10
that ship went totally backwards,
10:12
and if we have time, we may have to drag Diane
10:14
Warren. But that's a whole other thing. But
10:16
first, Jackie, we gotta ask our
10:18
guests. What is something from your search
10:21
history that's revealing about who you are? Uh,
10:24
probably probably poor and stuff. Okay,
10:27
me and my fiance every now and then we'll watch
10:29
porn. And I remember the first time
10:32
I got the nerves to be like, do you want to want foreign? Do
10:34
you know to say what he opened to He's like,
10:36
of course, so so I
10:38
said to him. I said to him, I
10:40
want you to pick the category,
10:43
and uh, we were you know, he
10:46
went to went to Google whatever. I'm like, no, Google
10:48
too, you know that's my Google.
10:51
Go go to a porn a website. Yeah. Yeah,
10:54
If I said, here's here's the website, I said,
10:56
now pick two is the category you want us to
10:58
look at? Entertainment? And I'm like,
11:01
you can either go really well, or really horribly.
11:03
So he picked black BBW
11:07
and I was like, so you want to watch us? I
11:12
said, that is how boring are you? You picked?
11:14
So you want to want a couple of looks like you and I? Right,
11:17
right right? Just get the mirror turned the better
11:19
around. I'm like,
11:21
why so that? But revealed that I
11:24
too trusting because I'm also bored
11:26
with it, and he and he went straight for
11:28
let's I want to see a couple like just like you and I
11:30
do things that we probably can't do anymore. Oh
11:35
so the way he was like, this isn't like you and
11:37
I are
11:39
way different, you know,
11:41
but you know my right knee can't do that.
11:43
Girl, you gotta watch Although I saw that
11:45
video you, I saw you talk into the Renaissance
11:47
album. Oh yeah, you know
11:49
what. Over the years I realized that I used
11:52
to be the girl in the club starting the party,
11:54
and I love to dance, and nobody
11:56
nobody dances anymore, nobody goes to the
11:58
club. But clubs boring as hell. So
12:00
I have to remind myself that I can still drop it. I
12:02
can't pick it up as fast, but
12:05
I get I get still dropped. When your
12:07
friend continue into
12:09
the future for sure, what
12:13
something you think is underrated? Being bored?
12:16
I feel like I got kind of caught up in the hustle
12:19
team no sleep, you know. And
12:21
then I would and then I would feel really guilty because
12:23
I'd watched you know, my very very very
12:26
rich peers like Kevin Hart and stuff, and why
12:28
why don't I have a line of you
12:30
know, of leggings out with a protein
12:32
drink and a movie while
12:35
I have a radio show and make another book,
12:37
you know. And I'm like, and then I realized, he's
12:40
mentally ill. That's why he does all that clearly,
12:42
And I'm kid, He's not. He's not mentally ill at all.
12:45
He's he's he's mentally driven in a way
12:47
that I don't relate to. And
12:49
he has his adrenaline and his
12:51
his achievement and setting up
12:53
an empire and for his family. And
12:56
I'm just trying to get my mother to side the house over to
12:58
me without thinking I'm trying to kill her in his sleep. So,
13:02
you know, I realized that different grinds different
13:05
different different grind, different pace, different
13:07
year, different privilege, different hustle,
13:10
you know. So I realized
13:12
that having all these goals and stuff that I've
13:15
had. Sometimes you just gotta let things happen, you
13:17
know, the way they're going to happen. You don't always have to be on the
13:19
hustle, you know, back to the first point.
13:21
Let's let things happen and let the river take you. And
13:24
I think being bores is over is underrated.
13:26
Being bored every now that you gotta just sit your ass
13:28
down. And you know, whether it's
13:31
your job or men or people
13:33
who go from you know, person to person and they never
13:35
take time to be single. I'm like, I'm
13:37
like, you need to be bored, just sit around and just
13:39
chill out. I mean, so, what what
13:41
are what are some lessons you've learned in that boredom,
13:43
in those periods where you've actually given
13:45
yourself the moment to be like, you know what, let me create
13:48
some space here for reflection. The
13:50
pandemic. It forced me to be home because
13:52
I'm somebody, I get more stage time
13:55
than I would imagine most comics in the country.
13:57
Thank God, I'm blessed. If I asked the club like
14:00
and I go up at home club, the seller
14:02
in Manhattan gives me god knows
14:04
how many spots, but I could pay my bills with that
14:06
club fet'll go on the road. So you
14:08
know, sometimes you just have to look back and look
14:10
at what you have and
14:12
and and be in the pandemic. Quiet time made
14:14
me realize I have a family that's getting older,
14:17
and my mother and my aunt they're you know, going
14:19
towards you know, the life. They're in their eighties. Assist
14:21
a sister who's disabled, who will need
14:24
me at some point. Maybe not right now, but you know, some
14:26
point you will. I felt I fell back
14:28
in love with somebody I kept pushing away because
14:30
I felt like I felt like he wasn't my type. And
14:33
as a result, I'm gonna get married again.
14:36
I thought I'd be married three or four times right now, but
14:38
this is number two is enough. And
14:40
so that's what I realized that, oh,
14:42
living a life. I could be a better comic
14:45
if I actually have a life and experience
14:47
stands, go to the grocery store, you
14:49
know, going to run run errands like a human
14:52
being, and I always have some place to
14:54
go. It allowed me to fall in love with my family
14:56
and find the guy and writ
15:00
about having a different life otherwise other
15:02
than just hustle, hustle, hustle. Where's the
15:04
TV show? Where is the road, gig, give
15:06
me, give me, give me, you know, boredom,
15:08
payden give it. Yeah, I gave
15:10
me. It gave me a chance to give some people
15:13
something. Some might say I don't give enough, but I think
15:15
the way I give is through. You know, I
15:17
can afford to contribute to whomever
15:20
names in my immediate household. You
15:22
know, I bought a new car because my family
15:24
car, my mom's car, was kind of dying. So
15:27
now we have a car that we can rely on. Growing
15:29
up, I was a taker and being
15:31
bored, like, oh now I could actually be a little bit of a
15:33
giver. Yeah, you get bored being
15:36
single and Lancasham and all
15:38
you care about it yourself? All
15:40
I care abouts myself. I mean, after while, you're
15:42
like, okay, enough of me. Can I get a boyfriend,
15:46
a cat, you know, a bird to look
15:48
after? And boredom of boredom
15:50
taught me, Hey, having a family doesn't suck. Can
15:52
I just meet someone at the pit fire pizza?
15:55
Right there? I mean, I don't, we don't. We don't gotta
15:57
go together, but can we? How come every now
15:59
and then that right, go to the dispensery,
16:01
go to the movies. After I don't gotta be a girl. But
16:04
we can hang out all easy, easy
16:06
activities and ever, how
16:09
what's your what's your relationship with boredom,
16:11
grindset, mindset? Do you try? And because
16:13
I mean you you have I know YouTube
16:15
be a high achieving person, but I'm always
16:17
curious how you how you balance your time.
16:19
I'm a complicated relationship because I'm thirty and
16:21
I'm not romantically linked and I don't have
16:24
any children. I have a dog that
16:26
I love, you know, and
16:28
so I do have a lot like I
16:30
want to complimenting, like three chips in the next month
16:33
and a half. All of them are Two
16:35
of them are work related, in one is Vegas, where
16:37
I might find work, but
16:40
I also I've been hospitalized for stress
16:43
before and I promised myself I would not do
16:45
that again. So trying
16:47
to find the balance between. You
16:49
know, I like being booked in busy. I like knowing
16:52
I have something to do coming up, but I
16:54
also have responsibilities
16:56
at home and a large friend group
16:58
that kind of functions like family that requires
17:01
attention and time. So I
17:04
try really try for balance.
17:06
You know, they're do enough work. Did I take
17:08
care of me so that I don't have to go to the hospital
17:11
again, did I check out with all
17:13
the people I love? Like, I try to
17:15
be in rotation with all
17:17
of these things that you know, service
17:19
my life as much as possible. But it's I
17:21
don't know if I'm always achieving that goal of good
17:24
balance, but I tried. I realized
17:26
I just came back from I'm in Vegas now
17:28
working. But I spent a week in Los
17:30
Angeles and I, you
17:32
know what, I didn't have anything. I had something
17:35
that was important for me to do out there, but
17:37
nothing pressing, no big meeting, no
17:39
big show. I was just kind of like
17:41
itchy to just leave because
17:44
I had because because I haven't been alone. And
17:46
know what, my my fiance and I are always together.
17:48
Thank god he could travel with me. It was not him.
17:50
I lived in the house that I grew up in, you know, me
17:53
and my mom owned that house now, so I'm
17:55
like, I'm never by myself. So
17:57
I want to take it to l A. I I beg
18:00
my girlfriends, the two closes want to have out there.
18:02
Can I please stay with either one of you? And they
18:04
were like sure, So I crashed.
18:06
I borrowed a car from my manager.
18:08
So I'm like, it felt really good
18:10
to this goals. And when I came back, I told my fance,
18:12
I'm like, thank you so much for knowing I
18:15
just needed to go hang out with my girls. I
18:17
didn't have anything pressing, you
18:19
know, I could resume whatever the hell I did out there,
18:22
but instead, I'm but I'm like, I want to go. I
18:24
love l A. I lived there so long. I know where everything
18:27
is. I hear, I hear, it's more, it's less
18:29
covidy, So let me go now. I
18:31
like him, and he was like, I know every now that
18:33
you've gotta go kick it with you girls. Are
18:36
you sick of me? And that's okay.
18:38
Every now and then you gotta take take trips just
18:40
for you, for you, aly for no reason,
18:43
and people who love you will understand, especially
18:46
when you know you and if you have
18:48
a position in your family or friend group
18:50
where you are naturally looking after people,
18:52
and a lot of people, a lot of us are
18:55
wired naturally to look after each other
18:57
at the expense of our own well being, Like it's
18:59
the first thing that goes out the window. You see
19:01
people like I feel like every person I
19:03
know who gives so much of themselves to others
19:06
and their family, the person to give the least
19:08
to us themselves or it takes a real effort
19:11
to do that, and a lot of people don't even
19:13
know, like have you don't even have the concept like
19:15
what I need for myself? Actually I never
19:17
thought of that. So really important to
19:19
know that about yourself because it's regenerative.
19:22
All right, moving on, Jackie, what some
19:24
of you thing is overrated? You know what? I
19:26
read this and I first thought,
19:28
if I didn't try and edit it to add Tupac,
19:31
M why come out
19:34
swinging who?
19:37
And I think he's not. He wasn't a gift
19:39
to the culture. All the culture
19:41
is mostly mine. He
19:43
was he is, But you know, I'm
19:45
East Coast girl. I'm always gonna be bigg until
19:47
I die, you know. And Tupac,
19:50
to me, he was just so he was
19:52
just so disturbed in ingenious
19:55
ways that I'm like, how much of it was that, how
19:57
much of it was was talent, how much
19:59
was just he was angry because he was you know,
20:02
he understood the world as it was, the hated
20:04
the world, felthy, he didn't have much power,
20:06
he felt hated, misunderstood. So
20:08
all that to me, I like about
20:11
a few songs, I like, I don't really find him to
20:13
be the club. Let's let's go dance Tupac.
20:15
No, you're not. No, No, one's throwing it back
20:17
to Tupac. That's
20:20
just that's that doesn't happen. And it's
20:22
funny growing up in l A, especially
20:24
at the height of the East Coast West Coast beef, I've
20:27
always preferred East Coast
20:30
rap, like the golden era of rap in New
20:32
York is one of is like my favorite genres
20:34
of music. And and that's no, and
20:36
that's no disrespect to the to the West Coast
20:38
scene, because the West Coast scene is, you know, every
20:41
every part of the United States has contributed to
20:43
what we have as hip hop today. But for sure, personally,
20:45
I like a Biggie punchline more
20:47
than like the pros of Tupac, because
20:50
I feel like that's sort of the difference in their like lyrical
20:52
style. And I think for the longest time
20:54
people are like, well, which one is better? And I've always been
20:56
like, they aren't comfortable like they
20:59
are. They would never be in the same cipher,
21:01
like you wouldn't see Tupac try
21:03
and tattle Biggie like that. This is not how that's
21:05
that's not how they engaged with it whenever
21:08
they had an album together a song, and they'll probably
21:10
forced the probably look y'all, y'all
21:12
gotta put our ship together because quaestions. It's
21:14
called West Coast crap. You know.
21:16
They didn't have a natural friendship. They tried to
21:18
but realize we just don't match. I
21:20
came up in the era of the South, got something
21:22
to say. That's where I resented
21:25
on it. I like, I like Tufac
21:27
and Biggie, although both have songs I cannot
21:29
listen to sometimes mais so dirty.
21:31
I was like, oh my god, Yeah, he
21:33
was was very
21:35
weird, but he was a sex symbol. Yeah, you
21:40
like, huh exactly? Said
21:43
what about what? Well? You listen
21:45
to him and they look him lyrics. You're
21:47
like, this is not you gotta be thirty at
21:49
least to listen to this ship. I feel the way about
21:51
Treta. I was like, oh my, oh my
21:53
god, Treta, it's such like you
21:56
can't nowhere near your family, can
21:58
you put Oh? I
22:01
remember I remember I
22:03
had like the like a mini poster
22:06
of the Little Kim hardcore album cover,
22:08
like like on like a translucent
22:10
binder thing, and my mom saw and she's like, what is
22:13
that playboy? I said, no, this is a little
22:15
kid. This is this music mobs
22:17
hardcore. Okay, this is a big Mama
22:19
thing. One of my favorite tracks. You
22:22
know, it's funny back in the day, we back
22:24
into the TLC days when they had condoms
22:27
on their clothing as part of it. I
22:29
had a key chain that had a condom in the glass
22:31
in high school and I came home one day and my mom
22:33
broke the glass to the condom out. I forgot
22:35
all about bad Hill now and
22:38
I was like, so you don't want me to
22:40
Yeah, I don't know, do you. I
22:42
don't know what the mixed mixed signal here,
22:45
but yeah, like on that, don't
22:47
advertise it tips. She has like kind of key
22:49
change out. It was for decoration.
22:51
I had the one you want to use when you're trying to get down right.
22:55
I some glass like great glass in case
22:57
from her, just and
22:59
very interest for the gentleman involved in situation,
23:02
all the all the risk has to take now. But
23:04
you know, wait
23:08
what it was in a glass like it was
23:10
like it was like this,
23:13
it was inside the glass in between Oh
23:16
so yeah, like in a glass case
23:19
like a yeah break in
23:21
case of smashing yeah,
23:24
smash yeah, exactly there
23:26
it is, okay, alright,
23:29
Uh, well we'll take let's take a quick
23:31
break, we'll come back and we'll talk about
23:33
some news after this. And
23:45
we're back, and I just want to
23:47
touch on monkey pox pandemic,
23:50
which potentially could become endemic in
23:52
the United States, but more specifically
23:55
around the naming of monkey
23:57
pox. Back in June, the World
23:59
Health or Organization announced that they
24:01
were going to change the name because a
24:03
group of biologists and many other experts
24:06
issued a public call to do so, saying
24:08
that it builds on existing stigmas
24:11
and connects the outbreak to Africa
24:13
without a clear link. That it's just it's very
24:16
lazy, racist people are going to jump
24:18
to conclusion just generally because of a name
24:20
like this, and they're saying, like,
24:23
also just reinforcing broader
24:25
colonial racist narratives, as many
24:27
people were pointing out in their plea to the World Health
24:29
Organization. And this
24:31
move from scientists about a scientific
24:34
issue clearly got people on the
24:36
right wing media to have a take on it
24:39
because they were suddenly like, wait, what they want
24:41
people to be more sensitive to, uh,
24:43
potentially the people of Africa or
24:45
others that are concerned with the stigma of racism.
24:48
Well, of course Tommy Larry had something
24:50
to say. She just basically was like, why don't they
24:52
focus on figuring out how to
24:54
cure the disease rather than the
24:57
name. It's a waste of time. And then
24:59
you have the Washington Examiner say
25:01
something flippant like this was more like akin
25:03
to like a comedy sketch trying to figure
25:05
out a new name. But this
25:08
isn't just like around semantics.
25:10
They're just like the general stigma a lot
25:12
of health experts have noticed could actually
25:14
prevent people from seeking care because
25:16
of just just the idea of the name and all
25:19
the hoop la around it
25:21
is putting people in a position where they might
25:23
not be taking their health as seriously as
25:25
they should be. And New York City
25:27
they said, hey, World Health Organization,
25:30
y'all need to change the name. Even though they said
25:32
they would be doing this a month ago, they still
25:34
haven't. And LGBTQ groups
25:36
have also said, look, this also
25:39
has to be changed because there's a stigma around the
25:41
virus, and it's also just ramping up a
25:43
lot of blatant homophobia and for
25:45
for no reason. And what's
25:47
what's wild is like the name
25:50
itself is just fundamentally
25:53
misleading. It was only named monkey
25:55
pops because it was discovered in lab
25:57
primates in the late fifties. But
25:59
it's rodents who are the big transmitter
26:02
of the disease. So it's just this like
26:04
old ship from before,
26:06
like I don't know if found in the monkey pox, Fine, let's
26:08
go with this name and that's it. And
26:11
the new outbreaks that we're seeing in Europe and like
26:13
in North America are mostly human to humans,
26:16
so again, what is the point of having
26:18
this name in it? And the other
26:20
part of it too is health experts
26:22
within Africa. They're also kind
26:24
of piste too because they're saying, oh, when this was
26:27
just a localized issue or something
26:29
that wasn't leaving the continent
26:31
of Africa, there was no issue with
26:33
having the name be monkey pocks. It wasn't until
26:36
this is affecting more wealthy nations
26:39
that suddenly there's like, oh, well, I don't know about
26:41
this. If this is the best thing, So
26:43
it's like smirreed in a lot of a lot
26:45
of ship, you know, just just to put
26:47
it very plainly. And the
26:49
whole thing is too, if this was a new disease
26:52
the way the World Health Organization has guidelines.
26:54
They would not they would never actually use
26:56
geographical locations or animals too,
26:59
you know, to describe a disease, because they themselves
27:02
know how damaging that can be. So right
27:04
now we find ourselves in a whole process
27:06
where they're like the World Health organizations
27:09
like, yeah, we're gonna get to it. We're gonna get to it.
27:11
And people are like when, and they're like when
27:13
the next meeting of this bureau like bureaucratic
27:16
body gets together to decide
27:18
on it. And then they even said, we
27:20
don't really even have any suggestions
27:22
yet. It's like what I'm sorry, you're gonna
27:25
do like a Twitter poll? Like
27:28
what what where? Where is? Well?
27:32
I mean where chicken pots come from?
27:34
Who fighting with the chickens? Right? What's the origin
27:36
of chicken pox? Right? Well? And that's the thing
27:38
they say, like because of the pox part, right,
27:41
they're feeling like it's even more diminutive to
27:43
say monkey pox, like it's already making,
27:46
it's already creating in the in the mind of
27:48
somebody who's who may become infected. It's like,
27:50
oh, you have your your child or your reckless
27:53
just like all of the naming conventions, they say,
27:55
are having like multiple issues
27:58
with how people are perceiving things. What about
28:00
the association of monkey
28:02
pock with the LGBTQ community,
28:04
isn't that also a problem? Yeah, you know, precisely.
28:07
And and what they're generally saying is
28:10
especially the messaging around it. As the
28:12
beginning, they're like, if you're if you're a man having
28:15
sex with another man, you need to watch
28:17
out, or that there are all these different guidelines
28:19
that had to be met to get a vaccine, when
28:22
meanwhile, there are plenty of women who are
28:24
sex workers who are also saying
28:26
I'm also at risk too, I also
28:28
need to be able to safeguard myself.
28:30
But because of this like outsized emphasis
28:33
on sort of being like this is something that's just affecting
28:35
men who have sex with men, it was having
28:38
terrible echoes of like the HIV AIDS
28:40
epidemic two works, how many echoes
28:43
and the consistency in the so
28:45
verity with which those echos rose, Like, for
28:47
example, I was reading the other day
28:49
about a guy who said he had a pimple on his
28:51
face. If you don't know, monkey pops
28:54
occasionally, like when it manifestsed it looks like
28:57
a pimple. He went into a
28:59
term college is for something else? Dr
29:02
Caman observed his face left,
29:04
came back in full. Has Matt
29:07
tested him for anything? But
29:09
knew that he was gay because he'd been a patient
29:12
here for a while. And so this kind of like
29:15
sigma the inability for some people to just
29:17
get tested or to get vaccinated
29:20
is this It's exactly if you guys haven't seen the
29:23
quote documentary about the AIDS quote, which
29:25
really does a good job of documenting what it
29:27
was like to get AIDS before
29:29
our country cared. You just see too
29:32
many similarities and it's so weird coming right
29:34
out of COVID house,
29:36
just like why don't we learn anything
29:39
at all? Period? I mean, one woman
29:41
was documenting her case online and she was saying
29:43
that she had to see four doctors and
29:46
when they finally they were like, we'll go see a dermatologist.
29:48
And they were like, oh, we're not dealing with these cases,
29:51
but that is your job. Who
29:54
else we go to be like, hey, is this a pimple or a pox?
29:56
Like, please tell me. I don't have a medical
29:59
degree. And is a scary time, and especially
30:02
if you have things to do that require you not
30:04
being in your house, which a lot of us have to,
30:07
you know, or or I guess, choose to. I
30:10
am confused. It's whether I have to or if I
30:13
want to, you know what I mean. The
30:15
world is still going. The world is
30:17
still going. I don't want to miss out on everything but
30:20
get sick. They're not going to close down, I
30:22
don't think. I think part of the reason why
30:25
the I guess, the East Coast, you
30:27
know, pseudo opened up is because the economy,
30:30
you know, and until it affects the economy, that nothing
30:32
matters. And when COVID shut
30:34
down the world, or at least the country
30:37
they gave us a year, then they're like, all right, you know
30:39
what, it's just bullshit. I
30:41
don't care how you feel. The month. The wheel
30:43
has to turn around and around, so it tell it to become
30:45
the money problem. It's never a
30:48
humanity problem. So it's always
30:50
money first. And that's what's scary, right, because
30:52
with the COVID pandemic, we're having a
30:54
terrible, you know, lapse in our ability
30:57
to properly test and take
30:59
care of people because there's no funding for
31:01
it. Congress didn't. They're like they
31:03
were fighting over money for that, so that's
31:05
gone, and we're dealing with like really
31:08
very narrow budgets to address a
31:10
pandemic, which is why there's barely any testing
31:13
anymore, and people like I don't know, probably
31:15
millions of people who got COVID, I don't know. We're
31:17
not really testing anymore. All the money is
31:19
gonely everyone's driving around in the Lamborghini
31:21
they got right, right, exactly
31:25
any more right. And
31:27
then even with this right, we're looking at another situation
31:30
where because initially people are saying,
31:32
oh, well, this is a marginalized group, we don't need to
31:34
worry about it. But what you're also looking
31:36
at like a lot of the health experts like you can't
31:38
let this ship get out of control when you have the
31:41
ability to to lock this down
31:43
with proper treatments and getting people
31:46
vaccines and things like that, because they're
31:48
a lot of the scientists are saying like if
31:51
this if transmission hops into like the
31:53
rodent community, then we're looking
31:55
at it and like this's it's it's gonna be here,
31:58
and it's that's it. As
32:00
soon as Goott even Irvine gets it, it's going
32:02
to be a problem.
32:05
Until then, it's a minor inconvenience.
32:08
Yeah, right, if if we see uh, like
32:10
a Republican congress person afflicted,
32:12
then maybe we'll know. But until then, that's
32:14
what I'm saying, Like, I think it doesn't. It just
32:16
doesn't square with the philosophy of
32:18
taking care of people in this country because I mean, we let
32:21
over a million people die in this country and that was
32:23
whoever in the country. So now we're talking
32:26
about something that the general perception
32:28
of society is like, well, it's for people who
32:30
aren't me. I can't imagine
32:32
the lack of empathy that would be extended to
32:34
them. All I hear is the perpetuation of racism.
32:37
That's that's all very cynic.
32:39
I'm very cynical. I just know that, you know, black
32:41
women, what we mattered, we've matt over
32:43
the last two and a half weeks, like every
32:50
every November happens February. You
32:52
know, the men still rules. So that's just the way
32:54
it is. Unfortunately. Yeah,
32:56
but again, I think you know, it's and
33:00
portant to keep our eyes on these things, especially
33:02
just help what's slow the World Health
33:04
Organization moves with things like that. They're meanwhile
33:06
saying like this has to be done seriously, when other people
33:08
are saying like, well, can you do this little bit first, because
33:11
we're already dealing with problems from monkey
33:13
pox becoming like a meme with people and not
33:15
actually understanding what's at stake here.
33:18
Okay, let's switch gears really quick to
33:21
Donald Trump. This
33:23
this orange Yeah,
33:26
this orange pop on the on
33:29
our society. Uh, he's always
33:31
Look, he has had a very fucked up relationship with the
33:34
concept of winning. I think we've seen that he
33:36
knows he's not capable of winning ship on the merits,
33:39
so it feeds his like insecure pursuit
33:41
of power. It also makes him feel so
33:43
tiny when he actually
33:45
loses, or even has the perception
33:48
of him losing. And right now, I think Donald
33:50
Trump is in a very interesting spot where
33:52
he's constantly even though he likes to act
33:55
like he's not worried about rhond ascent
33:57
with Rhonda Santis, he's constantly talking
33:59
about rohnd to Santis looking over his shoulder,
34:01
getting mad at Fox News. He got mad
34:03
at Fox News because they talked about
34:05
a poll that said Rhonda Santis was
34:08
much more popular than Trump was in like
34:10
certain parts of the country like Florida. Sure,
34:12
he's their governor. But he was like, I
34:14
guess, you know, I guess they're not on my team
34:16
anymore. And like then they tried to apologize.
34:19
It got very awkward. And also his
34:21
endorsements, when it comes to picking candidates
34:23
for races, they're not always sure
34:26
fire winners, and sometimes you'll see
34:28
if he picked somebody in the poll started
34:30
to slide, He's like, actually, no, I was never working with
34:32
them from the beginning. I don't know them, I never
34:34
heard of them. Goodbye, because my
34:36
record is flawless. And you
34:39
know, he's also recently he went to
34:41
a rally, a fucking Maga rally,
34:43
and he got booed because of who
34:46
he was endorsing for a congressional
34:48
seat. And I just want to play you this pick because
34:51
it's it's just it shows him
34:54
being like, all right, y'all, here's who I'm working
34:56
with the crowd being like boo and
34:59
him being so fuse, and I think it's
35:01
it's a good it's a good glimpse into sort of
35:03
what he's experiencing right now. And
35:05
a highly respected man just endorsed
35:07
by me today, future Congressman
35:10
for the second District, Eli Crane.
35:19
Everyone, He's like, huh,
35:30
you didn't like that. But
35:33
you like me right? Oh God,
35:42
but you like me right? Please?
35:47
I have He's the crazy old
35:49
grandfather you put down in the base of me, Like
35:51
why are we listening to him? Just give him
35:54
snacks and you know, let him watching of Queen's
35:59
Watch the same of episode of King Queen Doesn't
36:02
Know is a crazy old man now, And
36:04
that's what it's.
36:07
I mean, this is and it's funny that you're you
36:09
know, everyone's sort of like what's going
36:11
on, Like does he really run the party
36:14
anymore? Because there seems to be a lot of fractures
36:16
and it's clear that he does still have his
36:18
hold, Like that's that's clear. Yeah.
36:22
And then the RNC, the Republican Party,
36:24
they're also trying to do something where they're like a man, if
36:26
you run again, we're not gonna pay your legal bills. And
36:29
so they're also trying to kind of
36:31
like that was like this like a little blurb that
36:34
came out lout at the end of the last week where people are like, oh
36:36
wait, huh. So maybe they're trying to put some
36:38
pressure on him to make way for someone
36:40
else because they see him as a liability.
36:42
But I think at the end of the day. All he has
36:44
to do is start screaming at people and they'll fall
36:46
in line. But you like me though, right,
36:50
that was the most shook I've ever seen him.
36:52
We know that he is perpetually
36:54
running out of money. Yeah, Like
36:56
everything is kind of just held together by string at
36:59
this point, and so a financial blow
37:01
like the loss of legal
37:03
assistance, with which he needs
37:05
quite a lot, could could
37:08
change the game up. And I'm looking for anything
37:10
to stir the pot up in a different direction for
37:12
him, because it's not going to be like his
37:15
followers, like there's clearly nothing that can be said
37:18
or proven or videotape shown that
37:20
changes their opinion, Like they don't
37:22
care about unless unless he's
37:24
wiping makeup off his face and he reveals
37:26
himself to be black. I don't think people
37:30
even then, I I legitimately think
37:32
they would pivot and be like, this is you
37:35
should want to be
37:37
white. It makes sense, And
37:39
he loves white people. He hated being black. He's
37:41
one of Oh wow,
37:43
okay, so you should work for his campaign. You
37:46
flip that one really easily. I
37:48
know it speaks. It speaks for our
37:50
humanity where I know a few people were like when
37:52
they announced that Ivanka died, and they
37:55
saw the news Ivana
37:57
Elana Alanna's
38:00
Vona the daughter. But if Vanna passed
38:02
away. Everyone you saw the headline Trump died
38:04
drump Day. Everyone's kind of like, oh
38:07
man, I mean sorry, arresting. We're
38:12
also kind of like, how's the wrong one? Right?
38:15
Like, and I'm sorry to that woman, I'm sorry,
38:18
said come back and get this man. That's
38:25
how you feel, and it's shameful.
38:28
We're like, God, were you just did you you know? Did
38:30
you want slip? Damn? It called
38:34
the right one home anyway, So
38:36
he must get stress diarrhea at the mere
38:38
thought of having to pick a winner right now,
38:41
especially in a contested Republican primary.
38:43
And take Missouri's GOP Center primary
38:45
for example, there's it's like a three way race
38:48
kind of. You have Eric Schmidt,
38:50
who is the a G and he's in first place.
38:53
You have Vicky Hartzler who's in second place,
38:55
and she has an endorsement from Josh Holly,
38:57
but also an un endorsement from Trump
39:00
because he was getting real petty. He's the one. Let you know, she
39:02
got an un endorsement. And then you
39:04
have Eric Grayton's in third
39:06
place, who's the disgraced former governor
39:08
of Missouri. And this guy Grayton's
39:11
had an early lead because he's
39:13
pretty magod out and he is.
39:15
But the thing is, he's credibly accused of being
39:17
folent with his wife and child, and
39:19
his response to those allegations did not
39:22
help him at all because he just basically said, Oh,
39:24
she's like an angry woman with a vendetta and
39:26
that's it and I have nothing else to say about
39:28
it. So people were like, goal, Okay, that's
39:31
not very helpful for anything
39:33
or us to see that you're humanity. And
39:35
it also didn't help when he started doubling
39:37
down on putting out like the wildest
39:41
campaign ads. This one we
39:43
got a lot of headlines or you
39:45
know, the coverage at the end of June
39:48
because this is one where he's hunting other
39:50
Republicans with the help of a Navy
39:52
seal team. And this was
39:55
his This is an ad that he fucking
39:57
decided to televise. I'm Eric
39:59
Brayton's Navy seal and today
40:02
we're going rhino hunting. The
40:04
rhino feeds on corruption
40:07
and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.
40:10
Just so you know, a rhino is r I n O Republican
40:12
in name only. That's what MAGA people
40:15
call Republicans that aren't with the whole fascist
40:17
racist takeover. So like, if you're Liz Cheney,
40:20
you a rhino, even though she's pretty
40:23
on board with most of y'all ship, don't not forget
40:25
that part. But anyway, that's what he's talking about.
40:27
So he's going after fake as Republicans.
40:31
So they just go a flash bang in the building,
40:34
dynamic entry, tactical entry
40:36
with these like swap cops, Eric
40:39
Grayton's Graydon's got her joint, get
40:41
a rhino hunting permit. There's no bagging
40:43
limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn't expire
40:46
until we save our country. Uh
40:50
okay, I have thoughts as a film
40:53
critic. Okay, so
40:57
she has notes. Okay, I like this.
41:00
Okay, So first, higher lighting
41:02
guy, it's always important. I know,
41:05
like enough a lot, enough super are Like I have a camera and
41:07
that's enough. It's not enough. People instantly
41:09
tell if it looks cheap and bad and you
41:12
hadn't have to light, all you needed was bounce board, you really could
41:14
have made that work, but you didn't or some or
41:16
some indys on that camera line. So you don't
41:18
have the background all blown out like that. Also,
41:22
also his outfit and his skin was washed
41:24
out with the sand in the background. You should have worn
41:26
a brighter color. I know that you
41:28
don't want to be caught wearing makeups there, but yes,
41:31
yes, your point, Jackie, like maybe a little high
41:33
light here. It's a little bit of blending really
41:36
could have poked your skin pop. My biggest complaints
41:38
though, is you're out here hunting, but you
41:40
entered an empty house and then ended your commercial.
41:43
I don't know what was happening. The
41:45
goal of these guys seemed to be to go
41:48
capture someone, but no operatives
41:50
were shown. Who are you going against?
41:52
This is a regular American home, So now I'm
41:55
terrified as a viewer. You're
41:57
just walking into homes with six shotguns
41:59
deep, but no one's in there. This
42:01
is was this actual swat? Y'all
42:03
know where you going? You got swatted? What happened? And
42:06
you're like a real bad episode of HDTV
42:09
House Hunters or something like
42:13
bitches So
42:18
early guys, Early, that's
42:21
true, though there was it. Nothing
42:24
looks more heroic than kicking
42:26
down a loose, already open door and
42:29
walking into an empty house where there is
42:31
no action, but I think it's a good
42:33
example for how Republicans
42:35
live their lives, like constantly looking
42:37
for this invisible enemy that they're so
42:40
afraid of, like weapons of mass
42:42
destruction. It's kind of like that exactly critical
42:44
race theory, you know what I mean, like ship Like they're
42:46
like you, you don't want to know about this thing, but I
42:49
can't define or properly identify.
42:51
But watch out. They're grooming
42:54
at the you know, drag queen fucking
42:56
library readings as we've seen their cake
42:59
dajore. So the other I just
43:01
wanted, So that's Eric Gryton's or Greaton's,
43:03
however you want to say. The other Eric Eric Schmidt.
43:06
He's the a G. And he's like the most quote
43:08
unquote normal out of them, I guess, just because
43:10
he doesn't have any like outstanding like legal allegations
43:13
against him. But he's abused a ship out
43:15
of his office like as a G, like any
43:17
Republican a G would do, launched
43:20
a ton of culture war lawsuits,
43:22
being like I hate the fact that you have
43:24
to wear a mask or racism
43:27
is actually good and part of America's
43:29
history. The second part is true, but
43:32
that's kind of what he's on so and this leaves
43:34
Trump in this weird position. It was like, well, who
43:36
am I to pick? And do
43:38
I get the guy in first who's nailed on?
43:40
Do I take the guy who's been a reliable ally
43:43
to me? Who and Kim Gilfoyle, my
43:45
son's girlfriend is running his campaign.
43:48
Do I go try and you know, go against
43:50
Josh Holly and the RNC because they picked
43:53
someone else and they're telling me don't go with this other
43:55
guy because he's problematic. Well, I just
43:57
want to read this this description
43:59
of the sas of where Trump landed
44:01
on endorsing. This is from political quote.
44:04
Because the meeting war on, those familiar with what transpired
44:06
say, Trump began to lose patience. At one
44:08
point, it was suggested that he could endorse quote
44:11
Eric and that by doing so, he
44:13
would be supporting both Schmidt and
44:16
Greetings. Okay, it was
44:18
a mad cap exit ramp, but Trump
44:20
went in on the details, asking if the two candidates
44:23
first names were spelled identically, noting that
44:25
it wouldn't work if they weren't. No ship. While
44:27
Trump was intrigued, he also remarked
44:30
that it might be too cute. He asked
44:32
for draft endorsements. To review, one announcing
44:35
his support for Schmidt, the other for Graydon's
44:37
and this is what ended up being announced at
44:39
the end of like I think Monday night early Tuesday
44:42
quote, we need a person who will back
44:44
down, who will not back down to the
44:46
radical left lunatics who are destroying our
44:48
country. I trust the great people of Missouri
44:51
on this one to make up their own minds,
44:53
much as they did when they gave me landslide victories
44:55
in the twenty elections. And
44:58
I'm therefore proud to announce that Eric
45:01
has my complete and total endorsement.
45:04
So he just left it at that, and both
45:06
candidates are saying thank you, President
45:09
Trump. No, yes,
45:12
isn't that a sign of Alzheimer's when you don't
45:14
remember what you did and you come back and do it
45:16
again differently? I
45:18
mean, like that's every time for
45:20
this man. But yeah, this is
45:22
like someone on Twitter was like, this sounds like literally
45:25
something from the show Veep that would happen,
45:27
And it does feel a bit like it's it's
45:29
so absurd, But again, it shows you how thirsty
45:32
people are still for his endorsement, that
45:34
he could literally be like, I endorsed the concept
45:37
of Eric and people are like, yeah, okay, come
45:39
around with that equally
45:42
over here. Think about it. How
45:44
many are how many blatant races have
45:46
there been running for office that
45:49
high profile? You know, he's also a
45:51
celebrity. So racists are like, we need
45:53
to have uh, we need a spokesperson.
45:56
That's that's why he'll always have a
45:58
cabinet or people who well, we
46:00
will follow you anywhere to the grave. Right, we
46:02
don't have anybody. We don't have a spokesperson.
46:05
We're ashamed to say if we do have one, because
46:08
we get you know, told being any ship. They're
46:10
not, but you know they're That's that's
46:12
why when Obama was in augice so long, that's
46:14
why they're like, look, you guys had him. Yeah,
46:17
that's not fair, we didn't have anyone. Now we have
46:19
someone. We didn't have anybody the last
46:21
I don't know presidents.
46:27
So now we're like we had one. They're like, look, you guys
46:29
had a great time. We're gonna go, we're
46:31
gonna go get out Confederate flags and where it's our
46:33
time now. Yeah, you know, And it's
46:35
true and and and Trump does act like
46:38
this sort of avatar for racists who'd
46:40
be like, see, you can be successful and racist,
46:42
because I think the thing you see most of the time is
46:44
people get out of pocket talking ignorant ship,
46:47
and they get they get their card bold, they
46:49
get their show canceled, they lose endorsements,
46:51
yeah you know, or some people actually lose
46:53
their regular job, and someone like Donald Trump
46:56
be like, look where you can get by being a racist
46:58
piece of ship. They need that. He need
47:00
that to keep my need for
47:02
me to be able to rationalize what the funk I'm doing?
47:05
Model? That's the problem. Yea and terrible
47:08
role model. Oh just just to let you know, in that same
47:11
race in Missouri, someone who's like
47:13
in like barely getting any votes is one
47:15
of the that that couple of the mccloss
47:17
keys that were holding their little
47:19
guns at the people marching outside their house during
47:21
the that
47:24
guy went like the machine, he's he's getting absolutely
47:26
washed. So don't worry, opportunity.
47:29
Listen. I know that for a minute they were just really on your
47:31
side for standing your ground. They love that.
47:34
But you have to have come with something anything
47:36
else other than that moment. Office
47:39
what Well, that's that's the funny
47:41
part about how a lot of these people think left and right
47:44
that they're like Hey, remember me from this moment.
47:46
I don't have ship else to say except
47:48
this time I got famous, and I'm not really
47:51
offering much else this side from gesturing
47:53
to a picture of me and my wife holding guns
47:55
and doing that. So it can
47:58
be tough. All right, Let's take a quick we'll
48:00
be right back and we'll talk about why we wouldn't
48:02
steal a car? Would you? And
48:14
we're back. Okay. So I was
48:16
asking at the top of the show, we all
48:19
remember the p s A s that used
48:21
to be on the front of videos or in the movie
48:23
theater that was like you wouldn't steal
48:26
a car? Would your kid? And sort
48:28
of comparing like people using the internet
48:30
to people doing like survival crime
48:33
or some ship like stealing purses or whatever. And
48:35
since then it's become like a meme
48:38
like there's our writer JM
48:40
found like some really cool ship on Etsy
48:42
that's like, uh, like a dude wearing a shirt that
48:44
says you wouldn't steal my virginity?
48:47
It's like, what, that's not even a funny
48:49
shirt, Like you don't want to be walking around with that anyway.
48:52
So somehow the industry, they
48:55
overlooked a big error that these
48:57
ads are being shown to paying custom
49:00
at movie theaters and on DVDs.
49:03
So they were basically wagging their fingers
49:06
at people who were still paying for the product
49:09
that was lime Wire and Napster. Right, They're
49:11
talking about that because that was
49:13
the thing that I know would freak people out there, was
49:15
like that one kid who got sued for using Napster
49:18
and they're like, oh my god, like remember
49:20
doubtload of album again. My
49:22
ex husband was That's how I knew
49:25
about it. Back then. You knew somebody was
49:27
pirrating when you would ask him, so, how many songs do
49:29
you have in your computer? And they're like, oh, well, A hundred
49:31
and twelve thousand. Yeah, it was
49:33
that. It was back then, like that was hid And
49:35
I was like, why it was needed to go to the store to get you blank
49:37
CDs? Yes my god,
49:40
because yeah you got that. I
49:43
get it. You have that new case late
49:45
tape I do for three
49:47
dollars, we can buy I thought I lost
49:49
so many cases a those CDs. Yeah,
49:52
look I was there. I look pirate, pirate,
49:55
pirate family arise as we
49:57
see each other out here. So
49:59
that was the thing they were coming at people who already
50:02
knew what time it was they're like, yeah, I'm paid
50:04
money to see this, I rented this DVD
50:06
or about this DVD. And this wasn't
50:09
the first time, like the industry tried to do this ship
50:11
the first time like this was happening where
50:14
they did this whole thing where they're like home taping is
50:16
killing music because they said people with cassette tapes
50:18
were just ripping songs off the radio and
50:21
that's killing the industry, which also
50:23
became a joke too because that never stopped
50:25
anybody. They're like, oh, this is fantastic
50:28
technology. What watched me hit record on
50:30
this cassette player and get this song I
50:32
want off the radio. But there were a number of these
50:34
antipiracy ads in the early two thousand's,
50:36
like when downloading movies it was like really becoming
50:39
a thing, and some of them were like super
50:41
intense, like showing people like some dude
50:44
in jail like hanging their head and
50:46
be like, oh my god, my life is so
50:48
fun sliding
50:51
jail cell door clicking and
50:55
standing behind the bars. Yeah, just like tears
50:57
coming down your face, like my mom. But
51:00
so the general consensus has been these p
51:03
s a S basically did nothing to deter
51:05
piracy. And someone did a study recently and they
51:07
have found out that these
51:10
that this campaign may have actually caused
51:12
people to pirate even more. And
51:15
you ask why, Well, the first, first
51:18
of all, it is like the quote they say, absurd
51:20
comparisons to like grand theft
51:23
or other offenses basically watered
51:25
down the message, like someone would
51:27
be like, this is not like me stealing a bunch
51:30
of cars or robbing a bank. This is not connecting
51:32
at all. And also
51:35
they also like because of the like these
51:38
anti piracy campaigns, they sort
51:40
of sent the message that everybody's
51:42
doing this and it actually might be normal
51:44
because yeah, you're
51:46
hearing it like they don't vote be one of these people. You're like
51:49
one of who one of these pirates that's out
51:51
here, and you're like, oh, that's
51:53
the thing people do. Okay, I'll look into that. How
51:56
else, how else did you get music back then pay
51:58
for it now? Yeah? Hell no no.
52:01
And this study says quote informing
52:03
directly or indirectly individuals that many people
52:05
pirate is counterproductive and encourages piracy
52:08
by driving the targeted individuals to behave
52:10
Similarly, these messages provide
52:13
to the would be pirates then needed rationalization
52:16
by emphasizing that quote everyone is
52:18
doing it. So also
52:20
this is just from the study, but just looking at these ads,
52:23
like the website in those ads,
52:26
they looked so easy to use, like
52:28
as somebody who had to download ship. They
52:30
were not this clean like it looked like like the website
52:33
in the ad was like feature films, new
52:35
releases, click download, and the probably
52:37
like like yeah
52:39
ship, why wouldn't Like they're like where is this website
52:42
can get? And piracy
52:45
is on the rise. It's been increasing by in
52:48
this last year, and you
52:50
know, I think it's not it shouldn't
52:52
really be a surprise, especially
52:55
in this day and age where the Internet is connecting
52:57
people even more and more. Because I'll tell you this PI
53:00
receipt is the like the target
53:03
like or variety store for like the broke
53:05
kit or broke people because
53:07
the world is at your fingertips. When you can download
53:10
a ship on a torrent, you know what I mean, people have more
53:12
time to People didn't figure it out how to do it
53:14
at home as absolutely
53:17
And I was the same way. I didn't have like money
53:20
to go buy the newest CD, but
53:22
I damn sure no more to get that ship off
53:24
of like bit torrent guess who now
53:26
pulled up to school and I've got Stankonia
53:30
on fucking tape for everybody, and you could buy
53:32
that ship off me for two bucks. I have not heard
53:34
the word torrent and so long. I used to be on the phone with
53:36
my guy teaching me how to download ship.
53:40
He like, click us that was so torr and I'm
53:42
like, what is that right? And
53:44
look, I allegedly was using all these products.
53:47
That's just proof proof
53:52
podcast. There's an entertainment podcast.
53:54
But guess what I do? Have fifty cents get Richard.
53:56
I trying right here. But
53:59
I think it's it's funny, like from my relationship
54:02
to all that. I just remember saying like, hey,
54:04
can I get this CD? My mom would say no, and I said,
54:06
all right, cool, I'm gonna get it off the internet CD.
54:09
And I think it's hard to like really break that cycle
54:12
because we still live in a like hyper consumer
54:14
facing culture where having ship is
54:16
like really matters. So as long as like
54:18
these digital things are out there, I don't know how
54:21
they could ever curb it. But
54:23
you can't, especially with more and more shows being
54:25
developed all of the time and nearer
54:27
ways to pirate being created. It makes sense
54:29
to me that we're seeing in a tick. There's too
54:32
much media to consume. So even if you were
54:34
the kind of person who wanted to own
54:36
a lot of physical media, you know, you
54:38
might pirate a few things here and there
54:41
just to fill out your library because
54:43
it's it's too expensive.
54:46
I mean, and look and shout out to all
54:48
the technologies that we've enjoyed in the past
54:50
to circumvent these fees, like Cody,
54:53
if you had a Cody box, let me hear you one time.
54:55
If you have a jailbroken fire stick, let
54:58
me hear you one time. Because those of the
55:00
kinds of things that people were like, why am
55:02
I going to pay nine levels of cable
55:04
bills when I can buy this one thing from
55:06
the homie And I now have every show
55:08
I need to get and I can still keep up with the
55:11
culture without having to pay a constant
55:13
monthly fees. And I think, well, as we look
55:15
at like people's incomes going down to the
55:18
need for priority median ship that are behind
55:20
pay walls, I can only see that growing based
55:22
on just the economics of it. I
55:24
remember my my last buddy in l A
55:27
kept promising to get me a fire stick from my computer
55:30
my, My, My, my TV
55:32
and never got it for me. So rude.
55:35
But I'm glad you're not with somebody like that. No, No,
55:37
he was clearly a little Yeah, I'll
55:42
look you up. I'm gonna get you that five, get
55:45
you all the stations. Girl like
55:48
I'm waiting. I'm waiting. You're like, oh yeah,
55:51
yeah yeah yeah. See my man, he's still waiting there because
55:53
the supply chain. I was like, hell, yeah, I
55:55
get that ship, I get you actually, job for that, I
55:59
was worth it it, It's worth it. Life is rough a
56:02
Lankershim Boulevard, Northola. Yeah, it's
56:05
rough in Valley Village. That's said.
56:07
The city was Valley Village. The new show coming
56:09
to l O L Life on Lankership coming
56:12
at you. Well, Jackie, I don't know a better
56:15
place than to end it right there. Thank you so much.
56:17
First guy, you much fun. Thank
56:19

56:21

56:46
birthday is August. Well, so let's just focus
56:48
on Yeah,
56:52
And is there a tweet or some other piece of
56:54
social media that you wanted to shout out that you've been
56:56
liking. Oh, I
56:59
just saw Lena Gomez is going to remake Working
57:02
Girl maybe, And I
57:04
retweeted that just before this because I'm
57:07
really I'm really all four
57:09
of the chicks getting ahead and making stuff
57:11
and you know, heading her own projects
57:13
and producing things. So that's
57:15
the last, the last, the last project that's
57:18
just seen. Shout out to the second
57:20
Latina American to ever be nominated
57:23
for a producer, em Me Selena
57:25
Gomez. She was not for um
57:28
only Murders in the building, and so I'm
57:30
really excited to see her get into her executive
57:33
bag and now she's producing and
57:35
performing. It's great. I
57:38
think she's really great. She's really really a talented actress.
57:40
Has never really rocked with her music too much. That's
57:42
not she to Selena. Fans don't come for me, it's
57:44
not for me. But as a performer
57:47
and as a producer, she's picking an incredible product
57:50
projects, Project Sea,
57:52
She's making incredible projects.
57:54
So I'm very excited about it. Yeah, I'm
57:56
enjoying seeing her take herself out of the childhood
57:58
thing and produced or an actor and let's
58:01
focus on her love life is
58:04
most people cannot make that transition.
58:07
That's the hardest one. I mean if okay,
58:11
so many of my friends I grew up with who
58:14
just got lost in child acting we're not able
58:16
to get out of. But
58:18
anyway, coca cocaine is what hell
58:20
of a drug? Yes it is, Yes
58:23
it is. And getting into hide
58:25
for free every Friday night. It is a bad
58:28
combination in two thousand seven. Anyway, Joel,
58:32
thank you so much for helping me co host and
58:34

58:37

1:00:07
