alright let's try this in theory there's gonna be sad because I made that an adjustment all right can somebody tell me if they can hear me because otherwise they'll be talking for 10 minutes like I did last time much better right so it turns out if you're charging your phone at the same time you are doing this you don't get sound it would have been nice to get a warning about that anyway the part you missed except for the lip readers under the lip readers got at all but far you missed is that I'm at the venerians waiting for word of Snickers she twisted a muscle I think and she over fetched so she so she's at the red Marion across the parking lot I have to stay out of here for social distancing and if I get a call from them I'll have to end this pretty quickly so let's talk about Joe Biden and the unmasking it's so greg gutfeld had a great observation on the 5

[1:06]

gutfeld had a great observation on the 5 that at a time when we're all wearing masks the big story is about unmasking and I think sometimes I think that the simulation is throwing us material like you know like Hawaii you know Hawaiian shirt day or something it's like okay we've got a theme it's gonna be masks we're gonna start with a little ante follow masks and then you know what you get used to that not too scary little antiphon we're gonna throw you right into the chrome virus full mask and then once everybody used two masks wait for it we're gonna we're gonna hold it unmasking two masks and unmasking it's Maskelyne so what are the odds of that yeah Snickers just has I think she twisted or her back or something so we're gonna give her some painkillers she should be fine it's not the first time she's had a sports injury she's

[2:08]

time she's had a sports injury she's used to it yeah we have a all night vet fortunately so what else is going on let's talk about slim and everything going on there so doesn't feel like we're getting really really close to putting somebody in jail but it's not quite there it feels like it just keeps giving it's like Zeno's paradox you know where you you if you have the distance from something continuously you never get there you're only halfway to the distance so I could get closer and closer and I say well surely there's an obvious crime now right but it's not so much an obvious crime as it is a bunch of more questions such as why do 39 people need to unmask Michael Flynn like three of them are ambassadors and you know just that it looks like they have

[3:09]

know just that it looks like they have nothing to do with anything so that's a good question and I guess there are some documents we have seen yet that would describe why each of them thought they needed to see it how much fun are we gonna have should we ever see those documents where all 39 people of them including Biden had to explain what their legitimate national security interest was from seeing that I mean isn't that gonna be hilarious I mean they should be just ridiculous right now the clever story if it's a cover story is really really good so if you're waiting for anybody to go down based on what we've seen so far I think you'd be disappointed something else would have to come out for anybody to actually be in trouble based on what we've seen you know maybe you know maybe Durham has something else that we haven't seen but

[4:09]

something else that we haven't seen but at the moment they can all say hey we had some questions about his ties to Russia seemed important so we looked into it and that's sort of the end of it and then you go to the other 39 people and you say well why'd you look into it and they would say the same thing it seemed really important you know it's like one of the most important things so you know I looked into it and then part of the argument is there are so many unmasking that it's not unusual what does that make it better I don't know if that makes it better or worse do you feel better that there were you know fewer than I guess there were nine thousand some unmasking last year and they're even more under trend I guess I guess I'm asking is just a routine that you know why do we even mask anybody if nine thousand got unmasked how many people let me ask you this how many people were under surveillance last year

[5:11]

people were under surveillance last year that nine thousand of them got a mast remember that's only the number that got a mast nine thousand that was the last year the Obama administration apparently Trump administration's doing it too but a lot of surveys that's a lot of surveillance there so I think that we're getting close but nothing there so the the two movies is just a sort of hilarious at the moment so I turned on I don't see and then just to see another universe and I swear oh I'm not making this up when I watch CNN it's for the entertainment because it's like being on an acid trip I turn it on I go really this is the reality that that you all have there's a another another example today if you read any of the conservative press or conservative social media the the word is that the

[6:13]

social media the the word is that the the coronavirus death count is almost certainly overstated so all the conservatives are sure that the fix is n to overstate the number of deaths by just coding everything as a coronavirus death and that's just basically I would say that's considered a fact I'm the political right wouldn't you I'm not saying it's a fact I'm saying that wouldn't you say it is considered a fact that the various deaths are certainly over counted I'm on the political right I think you would agree with that statement and I turn on CNN and I'm watching Sanjay Gupta say it's almost certainly true that the coronavirus deaths are under counted because of all the people who might have died and they were never diagnosed maybe died home some other reason now those two worlds cannot live together and one of two things is true there there over over a counted or under

[7:14]

there there over over a counted or under counted but it seems like everything on CNN is sort of the opposite almost doesn't even matter why it's just the opposite and so you go there and the the explanation for all the unmasking is it's just normal business like yeah we we had a reason to look we followed all the rules people looked what are you talking about that's the procedure these laws exist to be used exactly the way we use them we had a concern we as the law followed all the rules looked into it and the story why you bothered me and and if nothing else came out if that was it
it I don't think it'd be enough but the president seems to indicate that he knows something else is coming Christina thank you for joining christina offered

[8:14]

thank you for joining christina offered to drive down and be be with me while I'm with Snickers but I said I didn't know how long I'd be here and I mean I'm just sitting in the car anyway I'm not it's not like I'm with the dog so anyway um if the president knows there's something coming baby that'll be fun but here's here's the best part the political part if you watched was it was it Rand yeah Rand Paul he basically went hard at this and just said this is clearly using using the government to spy on your political rivals and I thought politically this is just good reality wise I don't know we have to wait and see but politically oh my god it's so good because here's the beauty of it it's complicated right that's all you need you just need a reasonable charge and it just needs to be complicated because then people can

[9:16]

be complicated because then people can sort it out and the the allegation sort of lives independent of any facts nobody can really check out the facts they get lost in the details and stuff so it's an amazingly good reverse attack because it's exactly the same beast attack that was used on the Trump administration they just turned it around you know instead of instead of saying that Trump was using the government to try to get something over on Biden we now have proof that Biden went through actual paperwork to literally spy on a member of the Trump campaign now I'm not saying that that's why Biden did it which is the whole problem right you don't know why they did it all they have to do is say yeah we had a concern of course we had a concern so we looked into it that's all nothing else to it so but here's the fun part it will require Biden to answer the charges you know where this is going

[10:17]

charges you know where this is going right there is no way in the world that Biden can answer these questions on his feet and and not just completely disintegrate he doesn't he's not quick enough on his feet and it's a new topic I think Biden probably can by unfamiliar old two topics he's been talking about for years but you throw him a curveball of something that's complicated as layers as facts as nuance he's not even to remember what he said about it the last time and actually if it happened this time the second time you talked about it he didn't remember what he said the first time a minute later so this is the perfect it's like a corona virus designed just to kill Joe Biden it's like you could come up with a more perfect virus to introduce into the political system that was targeted to wife's like a

[11:18]

was targeted to wife's like a bioengineered a trump engineered virus that could only take out Joe Biden because if you replace Joe Biden with any capable politician they're fine you know do you don't think Elizabeth Warren could talk away on this you know or really any of the others basically any of the other Democrat candidates you don't think they could talk their way out of this easily but Biden can't so so the the irony of ironies is that the president seems to have accidentally because you know how these things happen sometimes it's just on your shoe when you walk when you walk away from the web market it looks like the President does accidentally released a bioengineered or at least a persuasion engineered virus designed only to take on Biden it wouldn't work on anybody else all right I believe that my my guest

[12:22]

I believe that my my guest thing is active I'm going to take some calls let's see if anybody wants to talk to me Cristina you should come on here and talk to me all right is anybody want to ask me a question I'll take whoever uses the wolly icon here all right I'll take the cat I'm selecting a talking cat hello are you a talk are you talking cat you're very clever do you have a question for me you can't yes I just like to ask that I hope this doesn't sound personal or anything but your enormous wealth I believe your work over 60 million dollars don't believe the fake news but what's your question well don't you feel a little bit more comfortable than the rest of us that are out here just those working clowns you know work every day why wouldn't I yeah that's that's all

[13:22]

that's that's all point said people used to ask me you know when I when I first made a lot of money because I came from no money and when I made money people said you know I hope it doesn't change you and I would always say well then what would be the point that's a little point of it the point is to change you we should make you more relaxed should make you happier with your life it should make you kinder to other people because you don't have problems should make you more generous I'm thinking if it doesn't trick and change me what am i doing all this work the whole point is it's going to change me so yes you're absolutely right that it puts me in a comfortable position but I also feel you know it's the spider-man curse you know the spider-man curse where with great the great power comes a responsibility and I feel the non-superhero of your version of that it's part of a part of why I try to be as helpful as I can in the crisis because you know I can't help everybody

[14:24]

because you know I can't help everybody in every way I would if I could but maybe I can find ways that my my special situation or unique talents could make a difference so I try to help it's the best I can do believe me I there's no way that I can say this to seven sincere but I'll promise you it's sincere I spend most of every day worrying about everybody else and that's not a joke now that doesn't help you because you would rather be the one worrying about somebody else than being the one who's worried about again it but trust me we're all in this together it's just it just doesn't equal and I know it all right I just like to thank you well thank you for the thousands of people thank you we appreciate it thank you for the call all right I didn't know where that woman was gonna head turn down good see who we got here oh all right we got lots of volunteers I

[15:26]

oh all right we got lots of volunteers I think we need to talk to Jordan are you there hey do you have a question question for you thanks for taking my call sure I was listening to a podcast recently and the individual I was interviewed was a venture capital executive I'll say and he mentioned I noticed a couple of times in the podcast he used the term leadership and persuasion synonymously do you agree with that do you find that leadership requires persuasion I mean I understand - you know supercharge it you need it but as are the concepts Anonymous well no doubt entirely because leadership is persuasion + risk management + managing people + managing shareholders and all that stuff but I would say that maybe the the most important of those would be the persuasion assuming that you can

[16:27]

the persuasion assuming that you can make decisions you know if you've got somebody who can bring you good options and say here here are three options here's the good one I'm not sure if the leader needs to be an expert on those things if there are good people making recommendations but persuading that's that's the bread and butter so I'd say that's 60% of it I was out for an answer fascinating I appreciate it and one other quick thing I read your book gods debris over my honeymoon in Maui and man - blew my mind I really enjoyed it thank you
you where were you staying in Maui I was the new pili Kai yeah so like the northern northwest shore all right well I've I've done within feet of probably where you were so there's another weirdness of the simulation all right thanks Nicole thank you remind me to tell you about locals that new social media platform that I'm on which is terrific it's like way

[17:27]

on which is terrific it's like way better than I thought it was going to be yeah I hoped it would be good there was like way better I'll tell you about that later a little guest can you hear me all right question for me good I was curious [Music]
well I love the question because what's happening at the moment I've never seen quite before which is it looks as if the media you know let's say the mainstream media is going to create a reality that's so strong that their own people can't get out of it so it's like they're putting up almost a psychological wall around half of the public that they need to vote Democratic and it might be so

[18:30]

to vote Democratic and it might be so strong that there might not even be a possibility of getting any jury to convict anybody I mean it's entirely possible that just you know you just can't get 12 people to agree on anything of this country with something so political so we may be in a point where the news can literally protect guilty people who are obviously guilty now that wasn't the case for Watergate and it makes me wonder if if they could have protected Nixon you know let's say he had been the Republicans well I don't know if the Republicans ever had yeah they didn't really have a Fox News back then or a Breitbart or any kind of platform so yeah maybe they couldn't have protected Nixon but if it had been a Democrat I think the answer was I'm interesting all right thanks so question my imagination or or the quality of guests very highly whoops well then you lost me oh there we go

[19:37]

well then you lost me oh there we go still there all right let's see if we can talk to you Rodney Rodney Rodney can you hear me Rodney
hello do you have a question for me Rodney yes I do how deep do you think this is gonna go and your thoughts on as recently ambassador via bondage was shown to have much more knowledge and deep feelings with marina than she had testified under
the the the more yeah looks like your we lost your signal but I'm gonna answer you I'll answer you offline I'll take this offline I'm totally bored with all the Ukraine stuff so the Ukraine stuff feels like it was a thousand years ago I

[20:38]

feels like it was a thousand years ago I mean I just I don't know if anybody would be interested in it anymore but could there be more there sure yeah I mean I feel like you could you could dig in an unlimited way so Cristina by the way I'm waiting for them to give me a call about Snickers she's getting some pills and we're gonna take her home in a bit so that's the update if you just joined this periscope time it didn't make any sense to you all right let me take another caller cuz it would have been nice if I had all my notes about the many things I was going to talk about but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen let's see if Dixon is gain'd Dixon do you have a question for me a
user interface to the world question with the context of dating and I'm

[21:40]

with the context of dating and I'm curious the kind of general or conventional wisdom around setting up online dating profiles is you try to get them to feel like they could see themselves in your life that sort of thing so I'm wondering if you have any deep cut advice for setting up an online dating profile or just dating in general and you know your profile picture being you at the mohawk ten years ago really asking the wrong person that's an entire skills that I managed to avoid for variety of reasons so no I I'll give you general advice but it's not something I've ever had any experience with I would say curiosity is a good thing to activate you'd want somebody to think Oh curious but the most important thing is you want to signal your your genetic qualities which is anything from your looks tear accomplishments to your brains to your

[22:42]

accomplishments to your brains to your money eat your anything but you have to do it in a way that it doesn't look like you're bragging and of course that would be the magic to it wouldn't it so if you can figure out some way then it isn't obvious you were bragging but you could still you know you could still showcase that you've got some genetic qualities and just automatically activate people or if you just good-looking it doesn't matter what you do awesome thank you so much I'm getting roasted so hard in the chat right now with my hair
yeah maybe maybe not your crowd thank you thanks to a question hey yeah I propose that nobody makes fun of anybody's haricot until the corona virus has passed because you can see some nasty haircuts all right you already are
all right cholera can you hear me all right you

[23:45]

cholera can you hear me all right you have a question for me yeah thanks for taking my call so thank you for doing the universe your user interface videos they're absolutely fascinating thank you and I've been using the systems approach it's absolutely working so I can confirm if you use a systems over goals that does work but what I what I notice is I remember what Deepak Chopra was using the kind of quantum physics language right like we control the outcome of the experience by observation and when I was watching him as I do this guy's full of
but I mean so that someone when he says was really good it's really positive so what I noticed though is we adopt the language of our level of technology and then let's say people said yourself and I would say like Jordan Peterson have this ability to use the language to help teach I guess people who are kind of ready so I'm wondering what what do you think the

[24:46]

I'm wondering what what do you think the next like level is like I see this the Golden Age if you will which is amazing is upon us but are we in for another zeitgeist change in terms of the language we use to describe our lives like the to boomer reality just seems like that's never going away you know yeah maybe so you know I I don't know how many people are gonna come on this journey right not everybody not everybody advances in the same way well I would think that for most of the country our eyes collectively have been opened that you can't trust any institution you can't trust any news report and you can't even trust your own eyes you can't trust a video you can't trust an audio can't trust a transcript and we've been taken by all of those things multiple times just in less 12 months so how many of us got the lesson how many how many realized that they're living in a very artificial world in which people are you know crafting illusions for you and you think are real

[25:47]

illusions for you and you think are real and I think that's like a huge eye-opener and the the only way to sort of get past that if I had to guess what the you know the higher level above that is is some understanding about the odds and some understanding that nothing is certain there's just the odds and there's things you can test things you can't things you can iterate things you can't so you can kind of crawl forward in the dark if you use the right system but maybe getting away from the idea that we understand what's going on in our world we still know how to operate we might be able to do it better but probably not because we understand facts and reasons and stuff like that so I think that's the big change that's awesome I keep thinking we're entering the golden age I'll stop but then people are burning down 5ge towers yeah you know I always said I was working for the they gave you two stories I was working for the big bank in California that was Crocker Bank at

[26:47]

in California that was Crocker Bank at the time and they were the first in California to have ATMs and I started working at about that time and all the the old people were like and we're not gonna let ATMs all their money well it's the robots robots are gonna take your money what if they keep it I've got nobody party with this it's just me against robots am I gonna win that it's just a robot and and then so but you know ATMs work energy now and then I was working at the phone company when we were first Pacific Bell when they were first developing the smart phones yeah the technology that would be what they call them micro pcs or something Micro phones or something and it was the technology that became smart phones and the worry was that that frequency was damaging and so we had our best expert in the company yeah the most highly trained technical guy look into and honor he did tests and research and everything he comes back with a report and he says no problem because no

[27:50]

and he says no problem because no evidence of any cancer or anything like that and that was his official report and then but he worked in my group and I was like later later I was like okay okay but would you use one he looks at me as though as far as I know he was right in his official report I've never heard him anybody actually getting cancer from regular cell phones so my guess is that the 5g is going to be just another one of those just another thing that people think is going to kill them in the end you say well guess that didn't kill us either I suppose I suppose one of these times I'm gonna be wrong right and 5g will kill us all or something but not yet yeah sorry my big hand has to cover that all right still waiting for the veterinarian to call me should be any minute now

[28:51]

should be any minute now if I go away fast that's why it's nothing personal let's talk to will hey will
yeah how are you do you have a question for me I have a question for the president actually I wasn't able to get my call in this morning on the video transmission was wonder if I could ask one now sure I take president the president's phone call sure okay thank you sir um you know understand that there's some suspicion that some guys in the Trump campaign were up to no good we had to look into that totally understand that went through a two-year investigation so then the cleaning came up my question to you is are you satisfied now that the president won the election fair and square without influence from Russia we'd have to define any tell me tell me the number of okay tell me the number of votes you would consider actually enough

[29:53]

votes you would consider actually enough to have made a difference I would define that as the I don't know the exact number but let's call it the the difference in the voter get in Florida in Pennsylvania that's pretty specific I mean is it do you think in the whole nation do you think more than a thousand votes oh I guess in those three states let's call it 5,000 votes do you think Russia is swayed by 5,000 votes not a chance because the only thing that we saw was that did you see the troll ads on Facebook if you actually did you see the actual ads I'm not on Facebook so I can't speak to that okay so nobody who actually saw the ads believes they had to be the effect they're actually laughably amateurish they look actually no joke they look like a high school project or something they have no no persuasion technique they are just pictures with words

[30:53]

they are just pictures with words they're literally worthless and some of them are anti Hillary and some of them are anti Trump it's not even they're not even all in the same direction so whatever that was it certainly didn't any difference basically basically I think I personally swayed probably 5,000 people you know just through my own work but Russia I'm probably none I mean it might have actually been zero well I appreciate that and I'll be happy to relay to all my Clinton supporting friends that President Obama does not think that Russia sway the election in from good very good hey you're great guy using your systems I've lost 70 pounds in the last three years Wow congratulations thanks man love your stuff yeah I keep it up right well I hear that a lot that the the number of people who've lost weight using my systems idea which I'll do a do a video

[31:57]

systems idea which I'll do a do a video on that specifically coming up let's talk to you Jennifer Jennifer or do you have a question pleasure what is your question for me I was wondering I'm kind of thinking past the sale of your Kamala Harris prediction coming true and wondering wondering if you've given thought to not not necessarily a specific person but what type of person she would choose as her running mate just kind of her kind of have you are you gonna even try to predict that and top well you're assuming that she immediately takes the top position and has to fill in behind her yes like if Joe I don't think that's the explicit plan that might be the if ever if everything went to act we'd have to do that my guess is they're trying to get him to limp across the

[32:58]

trying to get him to limp across the finish line and then Camila can just sort of you know take the job once they've won they might think that they might think the polls are so strong that he can just hide in the basement away from the vote and then comel as the president in a couple of weeks so I think that's the way it's going to go okay alright ok another real quick one I'm writing down my affirmations and I'm not sure what to do sort of after I'm done with them I feel weird putting him in the trash what do you do or what do you what would you do with your written affirmations after they're done the general answer is if you're asking about any of the details yes you're on the you're on the wrong page none of the details matter the only thing you have to do it's all about focus so if you could if you could focus my you know banging your head on the wall or you know eating a grape it wouldn't matter what it is so the the writing of 15

[34:00]

what it is so the the writing of 15 times a day there's no magic to writing it's just a handy way to focus so you could chant it you could sing it you could chant it you could visualize that you could draw a picture you make a clay sculpture but just writing in 15 times a days can be easy and again you could type it doesn't matter okay thank you good luck all right still not hearing from the veterinarian any moment now I'm going to get that call though then I'll have to get off quickly but not until I've talked to Daniel who no doubt that's a good question Daniel do you have a question for me
they usually don't work that quickly but ya know great so I I'm not sure if you if you saw the Elon Musk interview with

[35:01]

if you saw the Elon Musk interview with he talked about air link essentially a digital brain interface that will be able to connect not just us to the Internet but essentially to each other's thoughts so I was curious do you think how do you think that will affect perceptions on persuasion and also on how people perceive the world well I I think everything's up in the air in the next few years like our entire understanding of even what a person is I mean really basic stuff like that like what's alive what's sentient I mean we're gonna get into some deep deep stuff so in terms of the connecting yes I know we may run into a creepiness factor there where people think yeah I don't want people in my brain frankly I think it's gonna take a long time for people to want to get a something implanted in their skull because that's actually how you do it so we're not

[36:03]

actually how you do it so we're not quite at the cyborg age yet a little ways away but one of the things I was going to talk about is I tweeted today there's a some game engine company that was bragging about their new technology they've got a commercial that I tweeted there's the most just I popular thing I mean every time they get a new level of you know realistic-looking worlds every time you go wow but now it's it's reached level where I watch this thing I thought to myself oh my god I feel like I'm seeing the future people are gonna start having relationships with these characters that have their own worlds on your television and they can just appear to you on any screen and they can take you for a walk say hey you wanna come with me we'll explore my world and I live here and it can learn about you it would only take a little bit of AI for you to feel like you're interacting with them so for example you just teach it to ask you about your day how you doing you know let me tell you what I did today

[37:03]

know let me tell you what I did today and it wouldn't be that much worse than you know normal normal conversation so I've got this feeling that lonely people or ghosts are having actual relationships with artificial beings on televisions who just go to their world when the televisions off and they appear to you just like it's a video call and the thing that will get us tuned to that is literally using zoom because we're gonna get used to the fact they're looking at a person on the screen is looking at a person which is the whole user interface to reality you know the idea that we don't see base reality we've got this you know interpretation on top of it well now we're adding another interpretation which is that it's not the person that's the person eventually it's going to feel like the images the person yeah I'm not entirely you won't forget but you can easily see you see us slipping into a world or some of us in which a person on the screen who can interact with you and it's always the same one and grows with you learns about

[38:05]

same one and grows with you learns about you finds out about your day read your social media posts Matt imagine having imagine having a digital agent on your your TV TV comes on when you walk in and the digital person's like hey yeah you're doing and then starts talking to you about things that you care about because you just tweeted them so I would say to me oh I read you tweeted a four hours ago that was that was a good one you have 400 likes people really liking that one you're on fire today and you can so easily imagine how you could create artificial conversation that's new and fresh every day and it's relevant just by looking at their social media it would be that easy so that's what's coming yeah well thank you so much all right thanks for called I think that was more of an answer than anybody wanted let's do one more and then I probably need to get ready to take care of business all right max justice that's

[39:05]

of business all right max justice that's your name so you get max justice do you have a question for me holy mackerel those affirmations really work that's pretty crazy rrrow exactly uh I do have a question have you heard of dr. Vladimir Zelenko 'he's hydroxychloroquine regimen I have of course okay I figured so and the the second part of that is I I keep seeing a lot of things and I live in Nevada and our governor has banned hydroxy colon for outpatient use which means you can't give it early and I keep seeing a lot of states that are still doing this and a lot of complaints from doctors that are doing that and so I'm I'm wondering if there's some kind of nefarious purpose to to you know put do that just stop

[40:07]

to to you know put do that just stop looks like he looks like we disconnected well I think I got the question the thing is we don't know we know that lots of individual lots of individual doctors have individual anecdotal and small trials without controls and stuff so I still put it at 40 percent chance that hydroxychloroquine makes a big difference but a higher chance that it might make some difference yeah there seems to be enough of an indication that it works for some people so I don't know that it's any kind of grand conspiracy but it could be alright you're asking for another call and I know that's because you're older doing affirmations and you want to see if you can be the one but you are not smart enough to put Clorox in your profile like Cal did I'm going away there cold feet soon as I connect to them it's okay you'll be okay

[41:08]

connect to them it's okay you'll be okay all right Dylan don't disappoint us Dylan Dylan do you have a question for me right just uh you know worried about Snickers and wanted to make sure that you know everything's going all right we just got a new puppy here and we're real concerned we love when Snickers pops up and get to see your other cats too well I think she'll be okay it was just waiting for the call thank you Scott have a great rest of your evening all right take care well that was nice I can take another call because that was short and Alex will get the tap because he's got a cat in his profile it's only because I'm in the veterinarian's parking lot hello Alex Alex hi do you have a question for me oh yeah well I mean my question is more cultural question what do you watch in it like

[42:13]

question what do you watch in it like you mean like TV shows yeah you know it's funny that you should ask because the answer is basically nothing I've lost interest in all sort of scripted TV movies and it's a function of attention span what we do in the shadows that oh yeah I need to catch up with that since the day that I recommended it I haven't watched one more episode because I kept all mild well you have I I hear it's tremendous okay I'm good actually gonna watch that one so we want we want you we want to know what you think about the Joker the Joker well it's a power movie I know you don't believe it or not it's the only movie I do have on my tentative schedule because Christina wanted to

[43:14]

schedule because Christina wanted to watch it with me for the same reason sort of the the cultural relevance neither of us watch movies typically so
well I don't know why because I haven't seen it but I've heard that before so I'll watch it well Beth is right not even really that it's it's got it fell a lot of a lot of political messages and in some in some ways I guess that it's just it's it's almost a cultural war type thing but it's a bit of fun definitely recommend it alright I'll watch it thanks for going right all right I'm pretty sure they're getting ready to call me so I'm gonna wrap it up here thanks for putting up with this the low-quality two tries to get audio I do appreciate all of your your your efforts let me just get a little a little thing on locals so locals is Dave Reubens platform and what's special about it is

[44:15]

platform and what's special about it is that creators such as myself can have little homes there and then people can subscribe and they get extra stuff but first of all it's really good for the creator because we can edit our posts so unlike Twitter if I send out a bad one I can't do anything but now I can like add a picture or I can do all kinds and stuff but and I can actually post some things there that literally I wouldn't post on Twitter because Twitter is just all trolls but when I post on locals it's only people who wanted to be there so my experience is only good it's the weirdest thing I've grabbed a social media experience that was only good I'm looking through the comments and I'm waiting for the chance and then I realized oh yeah people had to choose to be here there are no trolls so it's just like this wonderful place where everybody is just happy alright so I'll tell you more about it another time that's all for now

[45:16]

that's all for now and see you in the morning
