China's "Century of Western Humiliation" With Jack Posobiec
"You and I have both been warning, hey, there's going to be a new superpower alliance happening and the American regime is cheerleading for it and is actually helping it happen. Chilling last couple of days in Moscow as Xi Jinping Winnie the pooh goes to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin and they say, quote, there are changes that have not happened in a hundred years that are happening when we meet take care of yourself dear friend. Play cut 73 and then Jack, I want you to make sense of this for me. What does this mean? I'm not even sure, play cut 73. Now there are changes that haven't happened in 100 years. When we are together, we drive these changes. I agree. Take care of yourself to your friend. Please. Jack, what does this mean? So to understand China, you have to understand that the way they teach history, they refer to something as the hundred years of humiliation of the century of humiliation. So the century humiliation goes from the opium war of about 1859 all the way up to 1949, which is of course the founding of the People's Republic of China. So they could refer to that as the century of humiliation, meaning humiliation by what, humiliation at the hands of the west. So the flip side of that for him to say, this is a change we haven't seen in a hundred years. What he's actually referring to is their new plan for 2049. That's their target date on forward where it's the century of western humiliation that he wants the west to be brought down low. And what does the United States done throughout all of this? They've driven Russia. The biggest wildcard in all of this, Russia, which had been trying to extend economic ties to Europe. Of course, we've now see where those economic ties are. They've been blown up. Most likely by the Biden administration and their allies at the bottom of the Baltic Sea and driven Russia in to the arms of China. This is the most historic meeting that we've seen in terms of the global geopolitical balance of power since Nixon going to China,

Nikki Haley Poised to Enter 2024 Presidential Race
"It looks like the Republican field for 2024, the presidential field is going to have a second contender as we all know Trump announced very early that he was running and so far the field has been kind of empty, not surprising most people don't actually declare this early. Biden hasn't said for his part that he's running again. I think he said he wants to, but he obviously hasn't declared that he's going to. And there have been on the Republican side a number of names floated Mike Pence and Pompeo, obviously Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley. And if you watch these people, they seem to be taking the steps that you would take if you wanted to run. Pompeo, for example, appears to be positioning himself to run and Pence has hinted that he's going to run a Ron DeSantis to my knowledge has never said that he's running. In fact, he is somewhat pooh poohed discussions about the presidency. He's like, hey, listen, I just got reelected. I'm trying to do a good job for Florida. So he has pushed those sorts of conversations to the side, although he is very much in the conversation. But Nikki Haley is going to announce and it looks like she's going to announce February 15th in South Carolina. She sent out an invitation to a lot of our supporters and donors. She picked a venue for where she's going to make this announcement. And so this, of course, raises a question. And that is what kind of candidate Republicans going to be looking for. And I'd like to address that in general terms. I have had a policy that goes back really before 2016 of not endorsing candidates in the primary. Why? Mainly because I think the big threat to our country comes from the left, it comes from the Democrats. And we need a strongly unified Republican Party to push against the Democrats. So what I'm going to be doing in the months leading up to the election is offering a kind of analysis and it's not that I don't have ideas of what types of themes are important or what kind of issues are critical or even what kind of temperament is important for someone to assume leadership in today's America and I highlight today's America because the needs of leadership change.

"So we had one of them things happened last week because of scheduling things. We kind of had to record out of order and so on Wednesday evening Dominique and I recorded our 5 square Friday and we happened to talk about draymond green and what was going on with him and then I believe actually no, we weren't talking about we was talking about what was going on with him when it was Friday. We were just kind of talking about the war years and getting that whole thing figured out. Then the next day we find out that draymond green was involved in a kerfuffle at practice. And then on Friday, just in time for us to send out the actual podcast, the video gets out and you see draymond green slump Jordan pooh. Like, people raising the question. I don't know if he called him clean. Yes, he did, yes, yes, yes, drew I agree. God please. And so then from there, one thing about the way that we view sports in the way the sports coverage goes is we gonna try to find a way to make this, I don't want to say about us because that feels a little bit unfair. But into spaces into which we can relate, which I think for a lot of people in their observations of what happened with draymond green, turned out to be a bit of a failure, right? So was it a sucker punch? It wouldn't have sucker punch you walk straight up old him and he pushed him away, okay? We can get into that. It's fair to say that once Jordan Poole decided to push him away, he need to recognize that it might have been a fight. Okay, does that really matter? Landing on the idea was this a sucker punch. No, that doesn't really matter. Then you got on the other side to people who come in and make the argument, hey, this is a workplace. You can't behave like this at work and you can't behave like that. At work. Their work is just a little bit different, right? Every now and then, and they job, people swing on each other. It is not your job. The rules are not supposed to be the same as they are of your job, right? The places where it was relatable is where I think that people kind of like missed it and they were kind of directly in front of you. Okay.

A Huge Controversy Has Erupted Over Herschel Walker in Georgia
"Huge controversy has erupted over Herschel Walker in Georgia, a very ugly controversy, his son Christian walker, who's one of this podcast weighing in and there are some people who think it's very bad for Herschel Walker's chances in Georgia. And this, of course, would mean that virtual communist Raphael Warnock would have 6 more years, a kind of almost a nightmarish prospect of something that's made even more nightmarish occurring in a red state. Now, I'm going to talk in more detail about all of this tomorrow because I want to go into some of the details of it, but I'm not going to do that here. Here I want to take a broader view of what's happening with the U.S. Senate. Now, first, let me say that I think the issue in Georgia is not Herschel Walker's behavior. Rather, it is due we and by we here, I mean, Georgians, but also Americans, do we want someone as far left as Rafael Warnock to be representing a red state? And perhaps tipping the balance or keeping the balance for the Democrats in the U.S. Senate. Think about the long-term implications of the Democrats having Senate control implications for a Supreme Court implications for so many other things. So very difficult for us as Republicans to keep our eye on the ball. We're often sort of trapped into this. Our candidate has moral failings. We've got to pull out our long knives and sort of stab him ourselves. Democrats would never do this. If Raphael Warnock did exactly what Herschel Walker did. Exactly the same. The left would a, laugh it off, dismiss it. Pooh pooh it, ignore it. And second of all, even more audacious, they would turn around and accuse the publications and talked about it of racism for going after a black man, and a pastor, how dare you, so look at the difference in psychology between the two sides.

Why Colin Farrell Joined Ron Howard's New Blockbuster 'Thirteen Lives'
"Let me ask you the most basic question. What was the appeal to you in taking on a role like this? Well, one of the most heroic things about John Valentin and indeed many of the other people who were involved in this rescue was their humility. And was the apparent lack of the desire to be perceived as heroes. That they had, which is not just for show, talking to John and spending the hours on FaceTime that I spent with John. And researching all the guys that were involved, the humility was very, very clear and present. And plus, I was very humbled by the magnitude of the story by all the things that pooh was spoken about by the emotional and psychological and cultural importance of what was happening in real time in Thailand and how the Thai people came together. And also to be an actor to be somebody who involves oneself in the artifice of make believe and the attempt in trying to present it as a reality to portray these men of incredible strength and bravery was almost embarrassing. I couldn't be further from the kind of steel that they lived in and that they used and the kinds of psychological strength that they have that they leaned into to save these boys. So all those reasons, and look, it was a great script. It's a beautiful story. I wanted to work with Ron harrod. I'd loved his film since splash and parenthood and what have you. So it was ultimately as much of a no brainer as they ever speak about, you know?

Thirteen Lives: The True Story of Boys Trapped in a Thai Cave
"Did a junket for the film 13 lives directed by Ron Howard, one of the stars Colin Farrell and others were my first interview. We're going to play that for you right now. My name is Eric metaxas. I'm the host of the Eric metaxas show. I think pretty obvious. Good to see all of you. And I've got some basic questions. I want you to pay close attention. These are going to be tough, hard hitting journalistic questions. Now, pooh, is that your name? My name, yes, sir. What was your relationship to the are you are you tied? That's my first time, yes. I thought so. What was your relationship to this story as it was unfolding in real time? In other words, while this is happening in Thailand, the whole world's paying attention. But as somebody who is tie, what were you thinking at the time? Obviously you weren't thinking you're going to be in a film about this in a few years or did that cross your mind? No. I think you answered already. It's the fact that I am tying. And this is a very cultural thing. We are a people that love to help one another. And when this situation happened, this is what we would do. I wanted to help. But like I mentioned before, I don't know how to dive. I could go up and cook for them because I do have a restaurant. I would take the time out to do that. But there were a lot of people there already, so it's best I say out of the way. So like many others, we just keep up with the news. And wish her the best. And also the best. It was a very it made you closer to your friends and your family and your loved ones because like I said also I have four kids and if one of my kids was sucking there at the time, lord, I don't know what I would do. And I would end up thanking all these divers and everybody who would be there to help them as it turned out to be that these guys start up and help the tight children.

Debunking the Myth That Nazis Were Far-Right
"The next question is a written question and comes from George and I'm going to read it. I'm a big fan. You have a lot in your plate, George writes. But please revisit the left right political spectrum. Today we're getting bombarded with egregious misinformation that Nazis are right wing. You successfully debunked this Wikipedia says that both Nazis and fascists are far right. Couldn't be further from the truth, as you know, the world needs to be reminded that the left is big government, authoritarian, socialist, fascist, totalitarian, anti individual, Putin is a leftist, leftism is bad. All bad actors, let's reinforce right wingers pro individual and pro freedom. Now, all of this is kind of come back to the surface because of some discussion in Ukraine about fascist and even Proto Nazi groups operating in the Ukraine. Now this is a little bit of an embarrassment to the west and to the Biden administration because what in supporting the Ukraine against Putin are we sort of defending Nazis that we defending fascists and these are groups by the way that identify they call themselves fascist. Now, initially, the media kind of pooh poohed this idea that there were fascists fighting on the Ukrainian side, but I think as people began to look a little more closely, they realized that, yeah, they're actually is a fascist presence on the zelenko side on the Ukrainian side of this conflict.

He found the dolls who would become the main characters found and sometimes planted. The child already had two and piglet kanga for instance was added deliberately by mel industry because he wanted to use another character from his wife. Daphne milne got most of the voices.

Christopher robin the character and billy moon his son were always different people but readers. Nevertheless we're interested in knowing more about the real. Christopher robin who was of course just a child milne became more and more uncomfortable with this and in nineteen twenty nine. He writes a letter to his devoted readers the dividing line between the imaginary in the league or crystal becomes page of each book. This then brings me at lost one of the reasons why these verses and stories have come to an end to an end mill says there will be no more winnie. The pooh books. He writes the legal. Christopher robin has already had more publicity than i want for him moreover since he is growing up he will soon feel that he has had more publicity than he wants for himself.

Afterwards though he didn't like to dwell on it when he came his biography. He didn't tell you very much budget. He says he didn't talk about it. Much this life through all of this milne was working towards his bigger goal building a career as a writer i think rate four as while he was still in the army which is rather remarkable and they were great success. London milne was a talented playwright and humorist fairly well known in fact when he first met his future wife daphne she knew some of his magazine pieces nearly by heart.

Those days when the because it may be that those happy memories were in his mind when in nineteen twenty-three another author asked him to write a children's poem for her new magazine and he said yes. The millions were at the time on a holiday in wales staying with a group of friends and as often happens in rails to say wish it rains all day in wales mill wrote to a friend in a gloomy tone that we might later.

He was wanting an excuse to guess ray from the people in the hospital she and so when he gets his request but the poem. It was a very good excuse to go find a quiet place to try. Noon had never written for chiltern before but he locked himself in a back garden and started writing before the trip was over. He'd finished not just that one poem but a quarter of the poems that would make up his first children's book called when we were very young once she said the world three things that led to pardons memory observation and imagination memory from millns own childhood adventures observation of his son. Billy moon who was named as christopher robin in four out of forty four poems and then of course imagination. What do you think it was that made the poems different from other writing for children. That was out there. I think a lot of jokin slices of that period. We're writing with limited vocabulary is indeed many almost popularizes. Today do but mill never did that. He wanted his words to have richness flavor by and he knew the power. The occasional unfamiliar words ernest was an elephant and very well intentioned. Leonard was a lion with a brave new tale. George was a goat. As i think i have mentioned but james was only a snail. It fun here's a small child veges on his well intentioned new. They've been reading them. When we were very young was published in november of nineteen twenty four. it was hugely successful straightway. And one of the things. That was remarkable. The children's book was that it was read by adult sport by adults and given president mill and his publishers got letters of appreciation from all over three. Us supreme court justices wrote to him. So did fred astaire and readers around the world began to ask what was the real. Christopher robin like mill would later right of the fictional christopher robin to me he was and remained the child of my imagination milne side. He didn't really associate character with the child was running around the house. The one he and his wife called. Billy moon mills. Wife daphne. One said that for billy in those days seeing his name in a story or poem was no more unusual than child seeing their face in a family photo album still milne himself said that imagination was only one piece of the puzzle. Some of it at least was observation. One of the poems in when they were very young featured a teddy bear stood beneath the window there king and would bear and handsome if trifle fat took carelessly of this that mr edward bear was a doll that had been gifted to christopher robin for his first birthday in nineteen twenty one. But at some point between the time milne sat down to write that poem and a few months after its nineteen twenty five publication. Edward bear got a new name like many british kids. Christopher robin had taken a liking to a particular animal in the london zoo a black bear named winnipeg winnie for short. And he'd come up with the name pu one day while feeding a reluctant swan a good name. Because if you cool shit and he didn't come you could pretend you're just saying poof. I didn't want him anyway. And at some point. A child's logic lead christopher robin. String those names together and begin calling his stuffed bear winnie the pooh. The bear soon begins to show up in the bedtime stories. That milne tells his son calming stories. Meant to put a child.

"It's a really enjoyable attraction. I think as much as i love fantasy land. I more love for the people watching in the music in the views of the castle in that area. I guess in this context of this conversation. We're specifically looking at the walt disney world version. Yes because critter country is its own beast. Yeah well that's a little less to be desired. But yeah i think. I love fantasy land. But it's just not a land where i feel like i've got to do something to get my fix in this area. So that's why. I'm not willing to wait very long for any of these fancy land attractions. I can appreciate that I just realized. I tallied my score. I counted it up wrong. So i actually gave it a six and a half which is pretty close to yours. I just ranked it a little higher in two different categories as far as standby worthy. Because i do love the interactive queue. I do think there's a lot to look at I even just like reading the pages that i can. That's kind of nerdy bird. But i i enjoy the q. So i wouldn't mind waiting there. It's kind of like peter pan as long as you have a lot to look at. It's not that bad. And then i also ranked it or four overthrow factor. I don't know what. I was thinking on that one yet. Another is a lotta thrill there trump. So you won't see fancy funds on fund. Gotcha it got me. Yeah that navy heff lumps in one girl the additives. They say they're maybe just hit the nail on the head not wealthy. I can guarantee you won't see is not in. There was my own adaptation flounces definitely in their right trouncing. There's fun.

"I do like that. It's now not a carbon copy at all of the fancy land in disneyland. I think that they were never meant to be that way. And if walt had not died they wouldn't have been that way. The kingdom always would have been different. It's very difficult to say on disneyland. If it was correct or not i will say i don't think the mini adventures of winnie the pooh draws as much of a crowd as they thought it would so a lot of the marketing or discussion that you see from this time period is that they're basically it's a business decision is that country bear. Jamboree is not getting the crowds anymore. So we are now going to transition this over to something newer and fresher that we think will get crowds. I don't think it's re now. We've only been there once. But i've checked a lot of disneyland times before i don't think i've ever seen over twenty minutes. I will say in the like the ride research that i've done. So this attraction is actually located in four parks at walt disneyworld disneyland in california. Of course hong kong and shanghai and then there's a completely different you know poos honey hunt in tokyo that we're not talking about but between the four parks for the attraction is the same the Would you call it. The popularity the ride the riders. It's the least in disneyland. Which i think it's probably plays into. Is that it doesn't fit into critter country and so they talked about the reason why they chose to country probably just because country bears were there and i thought it was a good opportunity but they. They blamed it on that. They had already had a meet-and-greet setup for poo back there. Which how much does a meet and greet cost to move not much at all or read the al. Yeah so. I don't really buy that one. I so i don't know i would lean towards. It probably was not the correct decision and disneyland. But it was the correct decision in.

"I'm going to try to give you a brief synopsis and to me learning about this just gave me a really really good appreciation for the odds of pu getting acquired by disney and having all these movies and tv shows made about him and the other characters and then culminating in an attraction in the parks. The odds were completely against it. And so it's really and so it's it makes you not take it for granted. I think when you know how hard disney and the mellon family in all these other key players had to fight to make this thing work. Yeah just to keep the integrity of the stories again. I also just think it shows like when wall was passionate about something like he didn't just take no for an answer. I mean he really fought for this. So go ahead brandon so like i mentioned before a email and wrote the first phut stories in nineteen twenty six and so then in nineteen thirty million met a man named stephen slesinger in some slesinger and meld into a contract that basically allowed all of the merchandise and other rights to be managed by this new company that slesinger created so was stephen slesinger inc more commonly known as s and he only paid a thousand dollars to mill for all of this and in return milne got sixty six percent of the subsequent income after schlesinger made his thousand dollars back which he did very very quickly And ssi turn this into a fifty million dollar business in the nineteen thirties. Which by nineteen thirty standards even by today's standards. That's huge. that's very impressive. But especially in nineteen thirty standards. It was huge so they did all kinds of things such as making pooh plush dolls. Which i think almost everybody had a poop plush doll early like a beanie baby of pu growing up board games puzzles. They did radio broadcast of readings of these stories on the bbc. They did animation. They did motion picture all of this stuff and so milne was obviously successful in his own right but partnering with slesinger really helped him that that wasn't his skill set to market it and to really take these characters to the next level that they cut so all this time passed and a male died in nineteen fifty six and the rights to winnie the pooh the entrance to his wife. Dorothy and then upon dorothy. His death rights were transferred to the pooh properties. Trust how would you like to be charged of the properties trust. I mean it's a fun name. P p t then in nineteen sixty one disney acquired the rights to winnie the pooh pooh from ssi. So around. five years after milne died is when disney. I got their hands on. It and waltz was very honest about that. This was a story that he wanted for a really really long time. This was these were books that they had in their home that he would read to his daughters at night and he wanted a piece of this that he really believed in the message of winnie the pooh and the one hundred acre wood characters..

'New variant' of coronavirus identified in England
"Another day another potential. New strain of coronavirus norman. In southern england the uk health secretary. Matt hancock says that there could be a new strain circulating there that seems to be growing faster than the existing variants and a papal get worried when we start talking that new strains but how much credence should we give. Today's climbs nor lot. You're one day that might be a strain. That's really muscular. Strain that's causing a lot of problems. the bars is mutating all the time there are selection processes that go on. You might remember that when the safest outbreak occurred there was a lot of fuss made about a possibly highly infectious strain people. Paint that and a lot of people pooh-poohed that in our community really not hair very much since people who were very quiet about the south australian strain with this one could be a strain that's a bit more infectious than others dominated. It's much more likely to be that. Somebody's arrived from europe. Brought this in. And that's the one that spread through clusters preferentially and if you look at it then you see that spread there. I mean it was really yesterday that the estimate that from one medical conference in boston the spread of that from when you look at the genetics of the spread that cluster has resulted in three hundred thirty thousand infections from a medical conference. That's ironic from a medical conference from one super spreading event. So just imagine if somebody happened to turn up at that super spreading event with a particular mutation of the virus and it spreading you think. Oh well let's taking over america. It's just happens to be the virus that you came to that medical conference with and picked somebody on the cheek and away you go. They call it the founder effect that it's not necessarily that it's it's better first spreading or it's more infectious. It's just that it's the one that got their first. Yes and the fundraiser's usually described as somebody arriving migrant arriving in a an isolated population and it's spreading from there so for example from memory there was a founder effect with a metabolic problem with Bone disease in quebec. If i remember rightly there's the founder effect of huntings tunes disease in tasmania and therefore you a lot more. Hunting season has meaning you otherwise we'd have just because somebody got off the board with that gene and it spread through the population. So so that's really what you normally call the finding effect but yeah you can get it with the virus as well and that's probably what's happened here in the uk that it's just somebody with that. Virus has been in a super spreading and spreading around and is not something to keep you up at night at least not yet and if you listen to corner cast. We'll tell you when you go to stay awake at night. that's right. So this mutation change the viruses behavior in any way or is there any concern about whether it will still be protect would still be protected against it by the vaccines in development. Well just talking to an australian researcher. Who's expert in this field. The british mutation has mutations on top of the vars that was seen for example in malvern. And so they're they're kind of mutations on mutations here simplifying. what is a very complicated message from its researcher. essentially there. It is possible that this variant in britain cooed evade vaccines. But but he. He doesn't really think that's the case. He thinks that's the vaccine. The vaccine should be brought enough to be able to cope with it. The question that is raised by this researchers informing us on this. Is that the mutation. That's buried in this in this virus in the uk suggests that could be a little reservoir. Which brings you back to the mink in other words that maybe there is another jump from animals to humans beyond wuhan and that. That's what spreading. Here i mean that's i mean that's a long bow to pool but that's one of the possibilities here and of course it's one of the reasons why they slaughtered these mink in northern europe. Because they were worried that you actually would get a second or however many you have no idea how many animal reservoirs have been transferred to humans over the last few months but this might be another one and so here is that this could be jump from an animal reservoir. Maybe maybe not but It it just shows that probably do the right thing by sacrificing these music.

Trump and the GOP Campaign Against Reality
"The president and his allies decided on closing message for the final days of the campaign wine about social media pretend the pandemic is over for more on this. It's time for a closer look. There's a lot you can say about Donald Trump's inner circle and the leadership of the Modern Republican Party. But when you boil it down, it's basically just a collection of shy can't take Weirdos. Then people who collect ceramic pigs in sit by their windows writing down license plate numbers for no reason take for example House Minority Leader Kevin, McCarthy. You showed up to one of trump's rallies yesterday claimed republicans are going to take back the House McCarthy then belched up this I think English sentence about House Speaker Nancy, Pelosi a watch you watch Nancy Pelosi hand. And I promise you this. I won't thank her with it but I'll banged the into the socialism and yes to America. What No. I'll bang end to the socialism and yes to America, that sounds like a poorly translated leaflet dropped on Moscow during the Cold War why all these guys talk like rip off dollar store. Action. Figures made in. Eastern Europe. Your grandma will get you for Christmas. Oh Wow. It's a fuzz goodyear. Let me pull the string. The leaders of the hundred gop beer. Basically just a bunch of goofy old buds. I said it pods. Take a guy is still working at your hometown bowling alley thirty years after high school because he gets free disco fries blessed all the shoe sporadic and huff and that is a lot. For example Republicans held a hearing on big tech companies yesterday just to complain about supposed social media. Bias against conservatives which it's not thing. Now, there are progressives like Elizabeth Warren Tonight's guest, Bernie Sanders you really do want to break up big tech monopolies that have consolidated too much power but Republicans just WanNa. whine about mean tweets they don't like the best example of that came from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson when he complained about an obviously satirical tweet this Dorsey. You talked about your house toward misinformation and then you will you will block misinformation if it's about against civic integrity election interference or voter suppression give you a tweet. There was put up on twitter says Senator Ron. Johnson is my neighbor in strangle our dog buttons right in front of my four year old son and three year old daughter the Keith refused to investigate. This is a complete line, but important to retreat and note that there are more my lies to come. How could that not be a violation voice oppression? Obviously, if people think I'm strangling my neighbors. They may not show the polls that would be worse oppression and another thing Mr Dorsey last night by doorbell rang late at night. So went to answer when I opened the door there was a flame in bag APU on the front step. So I tried to stamp out the fire but I got poo all over my shoes this clearly enact the voter suppression by the Neighborhood Teens because if I pooh-poohed on my shoes, I'll be too embarrassed to go vote. The bigger problem here is Ron Johnson thinks his constituents might actually believe that he strangled his neighbor's dog and Yeah. Okay and kind of see it. With said. Jack Dorsey looks like a dog serial killer. Like straight up a guy who together multiple dogs. in Ron Johnson's corn chowder brain joke tweet about a senators voter suppression. But invalidating mail in ballots and making people wait hours to vote isn't he's like a guy parks is BMW in a fire lane then loses when his targets tone Boris Suppression How am I supposed to get to the polling place now and then there was Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn who asked the CEO of Google if the company was still employing someone who criticized her is a blight Lemoyne one of your engineers still working with you. Senator familiar with his name is a name as an employee I'm not sure these employees. well, he has had very unconscious things to say about me and I was just wondering if you all still. Kept him working they are man Fox News is right. Canceled Culture is out of control. She sounds like she's asking to speak to the manager about a sales assistant at Costco is Madison still working here. She had very unkind things to say about me when I tried to sample the pizza rolls in the frozen I'll very hurtful things about how I'm not supposed to open the box. This is a fundamental reality of the modern GOP they're all donald trump. He complains about social media they complain about social media even though most of them don't have the tech savvy to handle the laundry room bulletin board coffee, table for sale what the hell does Obioma this is unfair.

Friendship During COVID
"Am your Co Host Tony Naga Tony and I am your co hosts Kevin Shoe and I'm your Co, Host Bang reappropriate build a little bit. okay. That is about as energetic as we're. GonNa get. Along. With. We're dying. We're done. Very draining times as well. There's tons of stressful stuff going on in addition to all the stressful things that go on in our daily lives normally so. But, it's been a little bit I. think a little too long since we've all gotten a chance to speak, so it's good to talk to you on this Saturday Sunday Sunday orgies today Sunday. Yeah, what is day? I don't know about you, but I have completely lost track of days earlier this week. I was trying to schedule a phone call for Thursday. I want to say and I was like the person was trying to talk about. There's like isn't this Saturday and they're like? No, it's Tuesday and I was like. Wow, this isn't just like you've lost like a single day. This is completely track of any day of the week weekdays versus. Morning versus I have no idea what's going on. I'm just taking it a day at a time. You got you got the keys region and is Tuesday or Thursday they do. Talk. I sorta there too as well Jen. I thought it was on Tuesday. I thought it was Wednesday now single time I. Think I know what day it is I. Think Myself Wait. I was wrong last time so now. I'm not really worried that I'm wrong. Be Wrong again. Yeah, yeah! I'm now at the point where I have to check the calendar every morning. Figure out what day it is. What dates it? Is I have one one or two standing weekly meetings, and that's the only way that I'm able to sort of anchor. My Week is just like. Is Today Zoo Meeting Day or not? Just keep going with this. Skip the INTRO. You know speed that we do that. Just keep talking because. You, know we. We talk about serious stuff wonky stuff on this pot all the time and they really important. You know we still have an election coming up. Hopefully hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, donald trump is president, and all sorts of things but I. don't know if there's one thing that I've been doing a lot of reflection on my own since the days. Obviously no matter either here is how much of this whole thing has. Impacted us as human beings in ways, as never really impacted us before and I'm actually just kind of curious out a very. Level! What has this thing major realized something about yourself that you didn't know before? And I'M GONNA. Put you on a spot Tony, just so I can think of a good answer myself. No, you're funny Kevin. Something that I didn't know before you know what. So to know something. In my business that I make money off of which is video editing, it has always sort of been the this given that. You kind of have to work in Los Angeles and and do those sorts of things and one thing that covid nineteen has I think really proven. Is that regardless of where you live? If you work in the entertainment industry, there are a lot more options than just. Being tied to one particular place. Just, because we're being forced to work remotely now and I don't see people necessarily going back to the office setting. In what March or April of next year after we have a widely distributed vaccine or whatever the the timetable is for Covid, nineteen and so. You know people were always sort of pooh-poohing me whenever I would be. The harbinger of automation is coming, and and also we really think about well. We could probably work from anywhere if we really really wanted to so i. know now for a fact that it is possible to work in many industries now that we couldn't before remotely and I think that that's going to have a lot of good impacts going forward on many different industries, because I think diversification and decentralisation is a good thing, philosophically speaking Kevin's wow, that's a good one. That's really big. One that we talk a lot about here in Silicon Valley because people have been. Pushing for that in various ways in profiting off of it to right lots of products coming out of it on that side I think Jason. That's GonNa come full swing from that. Push that we had a few years ago where it was all open open office design lots of collaboration, and like you know what I'm talking about right especially Kevin insists he can value whereas like the push was to get away from like closed offices, and even in the lab. Setting that I'm in There was this huge push to do sort of. Big Open lab spaces where the desks were in with the labs, and the idea was to foster a lot of collaboration, and I think to some extent. Those labs can really work, but I know that I way before. Kovic struggled with having a lack of boundary between different spaces, and especially for someone like myself. WHO WHEN? I'm really focused on something I just. Just, want to shut the entire world out and so I had a really hard time like that there there was seem to be this complete stigma towards finding, closed spaces, and closing a door like I didn't have doors I could close the world out and focus for like four or five hours, so isn't that kind of interesting now that we're now realizing that? To some degree, the social interaction the collaboration is really valuable. And we need to be able to I think once this all is said and done create spaces where we can go back to having those kinds of interactions, but we don't have to like anchor everything that we do so that that's the only thing that we foster. And maybe also swing back towards like yes, people also need private spaces and spaces to sort of be alone and focused, and maybe swing away from like everything has to be right on top of each

Star Wars the Clone Wars
"We have tim again from Rainbow, comics to talk star wars and should preface. He's not just the Star Wars Guru, but it just happened to be that. That's what we're talking about today, so thanks Tim. We're GONNA. Be Talking some clone worst all right now. No, I love I love the clone. Thanks for having me back I. Don't mind talking about star. Wars at all. I'm definitely the Star Wars Guy at the store I've got a big old tie fighter sitting on the sitting on one of the shelves, and Yeah I love Star Wars up and down left and right but i. do know other things. SO YEAH CLONE WARS! I know when we talked in the past. You're really excited before the final seat. Well I guess, maybe it's going to be the final season of clone wars, but the new one was coming out, and of course by the time you hear this, it's done so I, will let the listener know that there will be spoilers. It's been long enough. I think, and it can goes to the dark side, you guys. I didn't tell him. It's like saying the titanic. Sinks at the end of the move. It does I my dad still loves that movie and He loved the Titanic before the movie came out, but every the movie's been on TV lot lately, and he keeps watching it, and I was like you've seen the movie. I know it's real long. The boat saying. There there we segue into. That anikin goes bad. Anikin goes bad the and thanks for listening you guys. All, right. But I know you loved the series. Mainly a Soka I would say is probably your best most favorite character. You think, man. She's up there and honestly My love really lies with rebels. But I honestly believe my love for rebels wouldn't exist without clone wars, and I think that clone wars an epic. Very much stands on its own It is so grand like even rebels is like four. Seasons. Whereas clone wars we've got. what is it seven seasons and a move at two thousand eight the I? Did you watch it when it first came out or did you catch a little later? I caught the movie win. It came out on DVD. Because they released the first three episodes as a feature, and if you go on like Disney, plus and you watch season one episode one. That's not worth starts. You have to go on Disney, plus specifically I'm going to go ahead and date this podcast right now around. This is not gonNA work in ten years when Disney pluses and the thing anymore but if you go into Disney plus and go under specials. Specials they have star wars. The clone wars. It's like an eighty six minute movie or something, and that actually comes before season one episode one that was released in theaters and Samuel. Jackson is Mace Christopher Lee is count Duku and I think there might be a third like original voice. Okay? I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's interesting because with clone wars being as long as it is. Tom Cain to me is Yoda so in rebels? They bring in Frank Oz to do Yoda's voice in that in. It's really cool that they got Frank Oz. But seeing a Yoda in that style that CG style sounding not like Tom Kaine like weirdly sounded wrong, and it's the original. Yoda and I might be alone in this, but I just just to have. The the iota that I'd heard 'cause I mean. I haven't counted it, but I have to assume Tom kaine probably has more recorded lines as Yoda than than Frank. Oz does so yeah I guarantee you. He does and especially in that visual style, but that's kind of carried. I know rebels in clone wars aren't exactly the stay the same, but stylistically there's a there's a theme that goes that over rice all of them so. It was just weird rebels to hear Yoda with the original voice, but kind of wanting it to be the voice from Clone Wars I. think that's an interesting legacy in and of itself, that is if a soak is maybe not your favorite I guess, could you let us know maybe your top two favorite characters from condo and I'm sorry. Let me finish. I'm sorry. Honda. Is Is my favorite character and he carries over into rebels. And even there's even a series of kids books, and there's one that's about Hanin chewy with the foul can, and they They have to team up with with Honda I. CAn't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but the audio book is narrated by By, the guy who does voice, who's also Winnie the Pooh and lost Jim Cummings okay. So he voices Hongo in coon, wars and rebels. He does his voice at Galaxies, Edge, theme park at Disney. is Hongo and so there's a whole a whole audiobook. You can just listened to Honda. Tell you a story and it's it's like great. Honda's my absolute favorite.

Brazil's biggest cities start reopening as COVID-19 surges
"Brazil ranked second to the United States for the most coronavirus cases and deaths of any country in the world yet it's pushing ahead with reopening businesses and its largest cities series Bill Weir's and some hollow for us. right now, so set the scene for US Bill. What are you seeing? Well a lot of the businesses were only allowed to be open for about six hours today, usually in the middle of the day source, seeing folks sort of trickle in and out of the shops here as they get closer to closing time, there's a mall across the street that was open today for the first time as people get to sit down restaurants at forty percent capacity, or so, but in the shopping district in the center of town today I saw people elbow to elbow, and not all the masks were at full mast, so to speak at a lot of that has to do with the way Brazil as the United States, the pandemic has become really political. Down here, thanks to the man in charge President Bolsonaro of from the beginning. Has dismissed covid nineteen as little flu that Brazilians are strong enough to handle He pooh-poohed calls from the Health Ministry to social distance and to quarantine fact. He fired his health minister. A lot of people were worried that president trump would fire Dr Chee well most scenario did that replacement quit after a month? And now the man in charge of the pandemic response is a loyal army general who has no health policy experience at all, but what's interesting at the same time is Brazil is now the site of two major vaccine sort of phase three. Three trials, thousands of Brazilians will volunteer to get very promising medicines, but wolf those probably even in the best-case won't be ready for public sumptious until this time next year.
