Episode 30

The Great Unraveling: July 2025's Chaos State

So Peter's editing at midnight, gets an ad for a $400 scalp ritual while reading about flood victims, and almost clicks "buy now." That's... that's where we're at as humans right now.

Episode 30 is here and we're spiraling about July 2025—the timeline where we're googling skincare tips during actual disasters.

What we're unpacking:

  • People searched "wet look lashes" 8,700% more while Ukraine got bombed (make it make sense)
  • Texas floods + 109 deaths = turmeric soap searches up 3,400% (???)
  • $24 billion on skincare while bridges literally collapse
  • Why we're more scared of ChatGPT than fascists (priorities, people)
  • CBG gummies exploded 847% because anxiety tastes better in grape flavor
  • BookTok's horny escape room + VR sales through the roof
  • 48% of millennials are broke but our skin is chef's kiss

Also featuring:

  • A monk at the gym (2025 is weird)
  • Mountain Dew predicting natural disasters
  • Peter's wrinkle-induced existential crisis at 35
  • Why Gen Z said "nah" to leadership roles

The thesis: We're all coping with face masks while democracy dies, and somehow that feels... normal? If you've ever felt guilty about your skincare routine during a climate disaster, welcome home.

Join Peter, Carissa, and Shaun for an hour of brutal self-awareness disguised as entertainment. We're calling out our own bullshit while actively participating in it.

Fair warning: Contains natural disasters, political anxiety, financial stress, and the uncomfortable realization that we're all just trying to survive with good skin and questionable priorities.

For anyone who's ever doom-scrolled while shopping for wellness products and felt personally attacked by their own behavior.

Transcript
Peter:

Okay, real talk for a second before we dive into this mess.

2

:

It's 9:47 PM on a Wednesday.

3

:

I'm editing this episode and I

just got an Instagram ad for a $400

4

:

scalp purification ritual while

reading about climate refugees.

5

:

And you know what?

6

:

I almost bought it because

that's exactly the kind of broken

7

:

human we're talking about today.

8

:

We're living through the end of the

world and our brains are like, what

9

:

if I buy the expensive self-care?

10

:

Could this fix it?

11

:

Spoiler alert, it can't.

12

:

But we're all going to keep trying anyway

because what else are we supposed to do?

13

:

Vote in this economy.

14

:

So welcome to the

15

:

30th episode of Apocalypse and

Avocados, where we're going to talk

16

:

about why we're all coping with

face mask while democracy dies.

17

:

Why we're more afraid of

AI than fascists, and why?

18

:

I just spent 20 minutes researching

Japanese head spa treatments instead

19

:

of calling my representatives.

20

:

We're a mess.

21

:

You are a mess.

22

:

Everything's a mess.

23

:

But at least we're a mess together.

24

:

Let's get into it.

25

:

Apocalypse and avocados.

26

:

Peter: It's July, 2025, and somehow

we're living in a world where people

27

:

are more concerned about their wet

eyelash look than the fact that

28

:

democracy is hanging by a thread.

29

:

While Texas drowns and Ukraine

burns, Americans are Googling

30

:

Japanese head spa treatments and

pretending everything is fine, welcome

31

:

back to Apocalypse and Avocados.

32

:

It's Peter, and I'm joined with Shaun.

33

:

Hello, possibly Carissa if she

ever decides to get out of the gym.

34

:

How are you doing today?

35

:

Shaun: Oh, you know,

feeling weak and powerless

36

:

Peter: as you should.

37

:

Welcome to America.

38

:

So it is a lot of things

going on in the world.

39

:

Texas has its floods, which

was absolutely insane.

40

:

It was, what, 20?

41

:

It was a foot an hour for 25 feet.

42

:

Right.

43

:

Shaun: It was something crazy.

44

:

It was like the same amount

of water that falls in.

45

:

Over Niagara Falls or

something along those lines.

46

:

Peter: Yeah, I did hear that.

47

:

That's nuts.

48

:

How many gallons is that?

49

:

It's like 25,000 gallons.

50

:

Isn't it?

51

:

Shaun: Something crazy?

52

:

Your mom sent a video on it.

53

:

It was an astronomical amount.

54

:

Peter: Yeah.

55

:

It's tragic though.

56

:

It's a tragic event.

57

:

It shouldn't, it was preventable.

58

:

It shouldn't have been happening.

59

:

But.

60

:

Honestly, I was doom scrolling the news

about the Texas floods the other night.

61

:

What rest in tea is 109 people dead.

62

:

And my Instagram ad was, I got it right

after, and it was literally for a $200

63

:

face mask, like what the actual fuck.

64

:

Shaun: People died co by putting

on this expensive face mask

65

:

made with gold and panda tears.

66

:

Peter: It is, it's crazy though.

67

:

But I've been looking more into

this and apparently this is a big

68

:

trend in the makeup industry in

America especially when some sort of

69

:

natural disaster or huge catastrophe

happens Americans flock to self-care.

70

:

Shaun: In a way I see

how it makes sense that.

71

:

People want something that makes

them feel good when there's something

72

:

going on that makes them feel so bad.

73

:

They want something that

makes them happy, I suppose.

74

:

But I think marketing based off it

happening or increasing marketing

75

:

because you know that people

are that way when there's been

76

:

a tragedy's kind of fucked up.

77

:

Peter: Yeah, I agree.

78

:

I think that.

79

:

It's a little crazy that this is how

Americans cope with it and they see

80

:

these natural disasters and the first

thought is, Hmm, maybe I should donate

81

:

that to a skincare routine rather than

the people that are suffering right now.

82

:

Shaun: Yeah.

83

:

Yeah.

84

:

That's another thing.

85

:

If you have $200 to drop on a face

mask, you, maybe you could donate

86

:

some money to the people affected.

87

:

Peter: Yeah.

88

:

It's just absurd.

89

:

That might make

90

:

Shaun: you feel a little better.

91

:

Peter: And just to name a few things.

92

:

It's absurd that the trending searches

that go on during this, like lipstick,

93

:

perfume, Korean skincare, these

things are all uptick right now.

94

:

This ridiculous turmeric

soap have you seen this?

95

:

No.

96

:

So I didn't know about it until

recently, but it popped up

97

:

after I had seen this face mask.

98

:

And it was just, it's like this antibiotic

soap that they put on and it's made

99

:

with turmeric and it of course popped

up after this face mask because I had

100

:

saw something about the Texas floods,

I guess, and they're just like, there's

101

:

this connection with it, I guess.

102

:

But I did a little deep dive on this and

apparently the searches for this soap.

103

:

Have gone up 3400% since the Texas floods.

104

:

That's interesting.

105

:

For soap,

106

:

Shaun: is there some kind of correlation

between the soap and or is it just

107

:

because their marketing has increased

since that happened because they know,

108

:

Peter: I don't, I honestly don't know.

109

:

I think it's more of a marketing

tech tactic 'cause they know

110

:

that Americans are going to.

111

:

Flock to self-care.

112

:

So they start flooding

their feeds with it.

113

:

But 3400% is nuts for soap to go up

like after a natural disaster like that.

114

:

Shaun: And you said it

was searches or sales

115

:

Peter: Searches.

116

:

Searches.

117

:

Okay.

118

:

Yeah.

119

:

So there's also another trend that I'm

not sure that you know about right now.

120

:

The wet lashes look, oh my.

121

:

This also went up during a event.

122

:

Is that

123

:

Shaun: like Aquarius's mermaid look where

there's stuff hanging off of her eyes?

124

:

Peter: No, that would make more sense.

125

:

So it's those crazy ass eighties

spider lashes that you see that are

126

:

like clumped together without mascara.

127

:

No.

128

:

Yeah, those are, that's the issue.

129

:

Right now.

130

:

And they're like, they're

getting these things 'cause

131

:

they have this wet look, but.

132

:

This is in direct correlation to

the Ukraine Wars Russia invading.

133

:

So 8700% the searches have gone

up after Russia did that massive

134

:

attack with the drones on Ukraine.

135

:

I don't understand why.

136

:

Shaun: Okay.

137

:

I, it almost feels like.

138

:

Because something bad

is happening to someone.

139

:

You need to, these people need to adorn

like a new look, adorn themselves with

140

:

something that makes them feel connected

to them in some way, maybe you're

141

:

crying a lot so your eyelashes are wet.

142

:

Or maybe your because of the tragedy

that's going on in your country.

143

:

So now they need that because that's

how your eyelashes have looked in

144

:

your video, so now theirs need to look

like that so they can feel some kind.

145

:

It's disgusting.

146

:

Yeah.

147

:

Stop pre on people's tragedies.

148

:

Peter: Right.

149

:

I agree.

150

:

Do you think that this is them

preying on it or is this just

151

:

American's way of showing sympathy?

152

:

Shaun: It's a way of showing sympathy.

153

:

It's a pretty fucked up way of showing

sympathy to me that doesn't say I'm

154

:

being sympathetic to me, that's oh

my God, you look so pretty crying.

155

:

So I wanna look like that.

156

:

That's terrible.

157

:

Yeah, that's an awful

way to think about it.

158

:

But that's how it seems to me.

159

:

It's just, it doesn't make sense.

160

:

yeah.

161

:

So I just feel like the, in the US

people are so everywhere, but like

162

:

more in the US than other places.

163

:

They're so focused on being the main

character that when there's something

164

:

massive going on for other people, they

want to somehow include themselves in it.

165

:

That I, that's where my mindset was.

166

:

Peter: So you think we're just a bunch

of narcissists, which is not wrong.

167

:

Yeah, I suppose.

168

:

I think it's just I think it's guilt.

169

:

I think Americans feel guilty about

what's going on in the world, but they

170

:

don't necessarily wanna get involved.

171

:

So they're just doing all this ridiculous

thing to make themselves feel better.

172

:

But anyway while Shaun and I

were deep in discussion, Carissa

173

:

has arrived back from the gym.

174

:

Carissa: I'm back from the gym.

175

:

I had to get my workout.

176

:

Peter: Welcome, Karissa.

177

:

How are you doing?

178

:

Carissa: Good.

179

:

Very good.

180

:

Now that I've worked out.

181

:

Crazy chaos at the gym

tonight, by the way.

182

:

Oh geez.

183

:

There was a monk working out, first off,

which I've never seen before in my life.

184

:

It's awkward.

185

:

Monks

186

:

Shaun: freak your brother out.

187

:

Carissa: Yeah, I was wondering

if he took a vow of silence and I

188

:

was like, thank God I didn't see

the fight that happened after.

189

:

Because what do you have done?

190

:

If he took a vow of silence,

how do you stop that?

191

:

Peter: But if he took a vow of

silence, is he allowed to grunt?

192

:

Carissa: He didn't make any noise at all.

193

:

Oh, that's weird.

194

:

He was like punching the punching

bag and not making any noise.

195

:

Peter: Very strange.

196

:

Shaun: Remember when we went to the

the abey I was gonna call it the Mony,

197

:

and I'm like, that is not what it is.

198

:

That was Abby.

199

:

But yeah.

200

:

And the monk came down in

their robes and you like.

201

:

I had to get outta there.

202

:

He then

203

:

Peter: jumped back.

204

:

It was very like prior time he

was so startled I couldn't do it.

205

:

Like, this is so awkward.

206

:

I need to leave anyway.

207

:

He goes, I wasn't expecting

them to be in their robes.

208

:

He was in his

209

:

Carissa: robes and sandals in the gym.

210

:

Ew,

211

:

Peter: that doesn't seem safe.

212

:

I would've been out.

213

:

Carissa: I didn't know what was happening,

but then all of a sudden he was gone.

214

:

Peter: So do you think he's

jacked under those robes?

215

:

'cause I think that would

be a fantasy for Reese.

216

:

Shaun: Did you?

217

:

He

218

:

Carissa: might be.

219

:

Shaun: Did you question whether

or not it was a hallucination?

220

:

Because he was like just gone?

221

:

Carissa: I did, but then I wasn't

the only one that saw it either.

222

:

So,

223

:

Peter: They do have shared hallucinations.

224

:

But anyway, I digress.

225

:

I have Tourette, sorry.

226

:

Anyway, we were talking about the

whole issues that were going on in

227

:

the world and how they're in direct

correlation with some sort of natural

228

:

event or disaster that's going on.

229

:

But just to talk about it for

one more second, 'cause I had

230

:

one more thing I wanted to say.

231

:

Did you guys know that here in America

we spend $24 billion on skincare.

232

:

While our infrastructure

literally is crumbling.

233

:

That's insane.

234

:

That's

235

:

Carissa: crazy.

236

:

And for what?

237

:

Peter: Why are we so shiny?

238

:

Carissa: Why does that help?

239

:

I think everybody wants

to just look younger.

240

:

Peter: Yeah.

241

:

But I think that right now the Korean

glass skin thing is a trend and everyone

242

:

just wants to be shiny like a K-pop star.

243

:

Carissa: I wanna try that.

244

:

Peter: I'm guilty of it myself.

245

:

I love Korean skincare, but I also love UK

skincare, which is what I'm on right now.

246

:

But I don't do it to make myself

feel better about the issues

247

:

that are going on in the world.

248

:

Carissa: Right.

249

:

Peter: I just do it because I found my

first wrinkle, and I don't wanna Yeah.

250

:

Anymore.

251

:

Now that

252

:

Carissa: Peter's 40,

253

:

Peter: 35.

254

:

They're coming as of yesterday.

255

:

They're

256

:

Carissa: coming.

257

:

The wrinkles are coming now.

258

:

Shaun: Oh yeah.

259

:

Peter just celebrated his birthday.

260

:

He's now dust in gay years.

261

:

Just like me.

262

:

Welcome.

263

:

Peter: At least I don't age like

milk, like you Caucasian people.

264

:

Anyway.

265

:

Ouch.

266

:

Shaun: People still think

I'm younger than you.

267

:

That's

268

:

Peter: because you're tiny.

269

:

Anyway.

270

:

Shaun: Wait, I had something

to say about the last thing.

271

:

Sorry, I got distracted.

272

:

Have you guys heard about

the Mountain Dew Conspiracy

273

:

Peter: Theory?

274

:

No.

275

:

Shaun: Mountain Dew always

releases a new flavor right before

276

:

something bad happens in the world.

277

:

Typically in like the United States.

278

:

Yeah, they had, they really,

I think it was, I never knew

279

:

Carissa: that

280

:

Shaun: it was Pitch Black right

before nine 11 or something like that.

281

:

But there was one right

before nine 11 though.

282

:

Anyway there was another one before

Pitch Black was before a bunch of

283

:

outages or something along those lines.

284

:

Anyway I'll put the video on

our social media 'cause I don't

285

:

remember what all of them are.

286

:

But anyway, there was one and.

287

:

This video is put out in like May, and

the creators of the video mentioned

288

:

the new Mountain Dew Mango Rush, and

they said that it sounded like there

289

:

was gonna be some kind of flood.

290

:

And they were talking about Texas, and I

know this is completely ironic, but the

291

:

fact that there was then a flood in Texas

is like just absolutely insane to me.

292

:

Peter: They were talking

about how there was a.

293

:

Something to do with where

they sell the most Mountain

294

:

Dew and it's in Houston, Texas.

295

:

And then there was they, they're

like, oh, there's gonna be

296

:

a flood in Houston, Texas.

297

:

And there was a flood in Texas that year.

298

:

So anyway.

299

:

So speaking of completely losing our

minds, can we talk about how we're

300

:

supposed to save democracy while we're

still living paycheck to paycheck?

301

:

Carissa: How are we gonna do that?

302

:

Peter: Exactly.

303

:

Listen, I can't even save myself.

304

:

We're in the point where we just sold

our house, so now we have funds and we

305

:

don't necessarily have the financial

struggles, but before that, like we're

306

:

sitting here doing sizzle and Afterpay so

we can get fucking groceries in the house.

307

:

And Shaun and I are making really

good money and I feel like this is a,

308

:

an issue that happens with a lot of.

309

:

People, not necessarily millennials,

just a lot of people right now, they

310

:

can't afford things, so they're having

to break shit into four and hoping that

311

:

they have the money by the next paycheck.

312

:

Shaun: I'm not saying that I don't

sizzle or clate anything still.

313

:

Peter: Yeah.

314

:

But now it's more of a oh, okay, I don't

wanna pay the entire thing right now.

315

:

Carissa: That's why I do it.

316

:

Yeah.

317

:

Shaun: There's something

nice about not having to pay.

318

:

$400 right up front because

it's just Can I do it?

319

:

Yes.

320

:

Do I want to do it?

321

:

No,

322

:

Peter: not really.

323

:

No one wants to do it, but

the fact that people have to

324

:

settle our Afterpay just to eat.

325

:

Carissa: Yeah, that's a little crazy.

326

:

Peter: Yeah.

327

:

That was us for a while.

328

:

I didn't

329

:

Carissa: know you guys were doing that.

330

:

Peter: Oh yeah.

331

:

We did it a lot.

332

:

Carissa: You should have just eaten here.

333

:

It's not,

334

:

Peter: it's not that.

335

:

It's oh, okay, I've just

paid everything in my house.

336

:

I only have a hundred dollars

left right now to last me

337

:

until the next time I get paid.

338

:

So let me SEL or after pay my groceries.

339

:

'cause if I only spend $25 now I can get

a hundred dollars worth of groceries.

340

:

Yeah.

341

:

Yeah.

342

:

So

343

:

Shaun: that's

344

:

Peter: moral.

345

:

I feel like that's a lot of people's

issues are, we're struggling with

346

:

that and we're supposed to like.

347

:

Have some sort of sympathy for

these congressmen and senators that

348

:

just don't see the average human.

349

:

So how are we supposed to save democracy

when we literally can't save ourselves?

350

:

Carissa: It's not happening.

351

:

Peter: Right, and the anxiety

epidemic like that just

352

:

keeps uptick and everything.

353

:

We're sitting here, we're panicking.

354

:

How are we gonna do this?

355

:

How are we gonna pay for our

pets and all that good stuff.

356

:

And we're just getting more anxious and

crazy, and we're just contributing to big

357

:

pharma, which as you guys know, goes back

to our congressman and senators, right?

358

:

Goes right back in their pockets.

359

:

Yeah.

360

:

So do you feel like that's just a way of

keeping us in a certain station, or do you

361

:

think there's no correlation between that?

362

:

Oh, absolutely.

363

:

Carissa: I agree.

364

:

I think there is correlation between that.

365

:

Look at what happened during COVID.

366

:

COVID happened and then everybody

was getting pets, and then,

367

:

oh, can you get pet insurance?

368

:

But pet insurance doesn't cover anything.

369

:

It's just chaos, complete chaos.

370

:

Peter: It doesn't work

like health insurance.

371

:

You pay it and then you have to like.

372

:

Everything's covered at a certain

point, you pay it and then you actually

373

:

have to pay for the service, and then

they reimburse you a portion of the

374

:

Shaun: service.

375

:

Pet insurance is very much

like private health insurance.

376

:

If you buy into private health

insurance, most of the time they're

377

:

not gonna cover pre-existing

conditions and things like that.

378

:

That's how pet insurance works.

379

:

Which is a shame because most people

don't think to get pet insurance until

380

:

they're faced with the cost of something

that's gone wrong with their pet.

381

:

And honestly, I didn't even know that

pet care, some things cost as much as

382

:

they did when we had the issues with our

cats, with the crystals in in their urine.

383

:

Mm-hmm.

384

:

If it wasn't for our parents, we would've

been screwed because we didn't have the

385

:

money to pay all of that to help them.

386

:

Peter: Mm-hmm.

387

:

And there's so many times when our animals

got sick, when we were living at the

388

:

house and we had barely any funds and

we had to sizzle their vet bills so that

389

:

we could afford to take them to the vet.

390

:

Shaun: Yep.

391

:

Carissa: That's awful.

392

:

Peter: So we did, we live

paycheck to paycheck and hope

393

:

that our states would help us out.

394

:

But they're just, they don't really care

about us, which is not really a surprise.

395

:

But yeah I did hear this interesting

fact that I don't know about

396

:

that you guys have ever heard.

397

:

There's two so I heard one about

our generation, the millennials that

398

:

48% of us live paycheck to paycheck.

399

:

Carissa: It's accurate.

400

:

Peter: That's almost half say that

401

:

Shaun: sounds,

402

:

Carissa: that's accurate.

403

:

Shaun: It's unfortunate,

but it sounds accurate.

404

:

And I never would've thought growing

up that many people that were in my

405

:

generation, my age group, my class,

whatever you wanna call it from

406

:

school, would be dealing with that.

407

:

And that's not even saying based on

the people that were there, that's

408

:

just like, I thought all of us were

gonna get more opportunities than.

409

:

Any of us really

410

:

Peter: that, yeah, we all thought that

we were gonna get whatever in the world,

411

:

but also I know we bash 'em all the time,

but Gen Z was also part of this same

412

:

study and 40% of them are, they claim

to be anxious or have been diagnosed

413

:

with severe anxiety that is constant,

like it's in a constant 24 hours.

414

:

They're anxious.

415

:

Carissa: I'm gonna spiral

a little bit on that.

416

:

Gen Z also doesn't wanna fucking work.

417

:

A nine to five.

418

:

Let's be real.

419

:

Peter: I mean, that's come on.

420

:

Where their anxiety comes from.

421

:

Having to find a

422

:

Shaun: job.

423

:

How I'd be interesting.

424

:

How am I gonna survive

without being an influencer?

425

:

Not all of them are

426

:

Peter: in.

427

:

Please don't

428

:

Carissa: take away TikTok.

429

:

Come on, get a fucking job.

430

:

It's

431

:

Peter: away.

432

:

We do know a particular

Gen Z that needs to.

433

:

Stop drinking, but anyway.

434

:

Mm-hmm.

435

:

And stop telling lies.

436

:

Yes, but I digress.

437

:

It's funny also that in that same breath

when I was reading about this, oh, that we

438

:

Shaun: also know a 40-year-old

that needs to do the same

439

:

thing, not the drinking part.

440

:

Peter: Well, things got dark

there in the same breath.

441

:

I'm talking about that.

442

:

With the 48% of millennials

and 40% of Gen Zs only.

443

:

6% want leadership roles.

444

:

Carissa: I don't blame them.

445

:

Shaun: I used to want a

leadership role really bad.

446

:

That was like my goal

everywhere I would go.

447

:

But now I agree with that.

448

:

I don't know that I

want a leadership role.

449

:

I used to want to be in a leadership

role so bad, and the more I've

450

:

worked, the more I realize that

maybe that's not exactly what I want.

451

:

I've watched you be in leadership roles.

452

:

I've watched other people be

in leadership roles and it's.

453

:

It's a lot.

454

:

And if other people don't

perform, you are the one who

455

:

has to answer for it, not them.

456

:

And also, sometimes you have to be

the bad guy when you don't want to be,

457

:

Peter: sometimes you have to clean the

pool at:

458

:

Carissa: That's right.

459

:

Or that,

460

:

Shaun: although I am gonna be

in a leadership role now, so

461

:

that's gonna be interesting.

462

:

Carissa: I, and I'm the

lead at the fitness center.

463

:

What I mean.

464

:

We make it work

465

:

Peter: and you have to clean the pool

at 10 o'clock on a Saturday night.

466

:

Hey, you know what?

467

:

Carissa: Sometimes shit

happens and it's not often.

468

:

So did they shit

469

:

Peter: in the pool?

470

:

Carissa: No.

471

:

Is that why shit happens?

472

:

Please.

473

:

Don't ever say that.

474

:

Don't even if somebody shit

475

:

Shaun: in the coats

476

:

Carissa: don't even manifest that, okay?

477

:

Because the second someone

shits in the pool, I'm quitting.

478

:

I'm not dealing with that.

479

:

But have you ever

480

:

Shaun: seen a turd in a urinal?

481

:

Carissa: Oh God, no.

482

:

I don't want to.

483

:

I have it's, but I remember terrifying.

484

:

I remember.

485

:

Yeah.

486

:

No, I don't wanna see a

shit in the fucking pool.

487

:

If there's a shit in the pool,

I'm walking out, I'm done.

488

:

Peter: Someone just takes a massive

log, drop some timber in the water.

489

:

Carissa: Somebody actually

made me panic one day.

490

:

Did you?

491

:

Some mysterious.

492

:

Someone actually made me panic one day

because there was like a little black

493

:

object in the bottom of the pool and

she was like, I think this is poop.

494

:

And I was like, I think it's not, but

thank you for whispering about it.

495

:

And she's like, get the net.

496

:

I'm like, okay.

497

:

So I get the net and guess what it was?

498

:

It was a piece of rubber

from somebody's goggles.

499

:

It was not shit.

500

:

Shaun: Oh my God,

501

:

Peter: I

502

:

Shaun: couldn't deal with that.

503

:

This is like the whole you

need to stay off WebMD thing.

504

:

Don't jump to the worst conclusion.

505

:

No.

506

:

Carissa: She gave me anxiety, whispering.

507

:

I think it's poop.

508

:

Come on.

509

:

If it's poop, get the fuck out.

510

:

Why are you standing next to it?

511

:

Pointing it out.

512

:

Get out.

513

:

Hey,

514

:

Shaun: look there's

something black and brownish.

515

:

Hero.

516

:

Do you think it's poop?

517

:

I'll touch it with my foot.

518

:

Yeah.

519

:

Why?

520

:

That was my thing.

521

:

She and

522

:

Peter: she did.

523

:

Why are you touching with your foot?

524

:

Oh my God.

525

:

It's not that sterile.

526

:

The quarium doesn't make you feel better.

527

:

Or maybe it does.

528

:

I don't know.

529

:

Carissa: Welcome to the Chronicles

of working in a gym with a pool.

530

:

Peter: Okay, so if that wasn't

enough, now we're expected to learn.

531

:

Learn from AI for our jobs.

532

:

Yes.

533

:

A lot of people are

afraid, not necessarily.

534

:

Sourly me, the AI is going

to replace their job.

535

:

No,

536

:

Carissa: not me.

537

:

Nobody could teach fitness

the way I can teach fitness.

538

:

Peter: But a robot can clean the pool

539

:

Carissa: a well, the robot

can clean the fucking pool.

540

:

I'm all set with that.

541

:

Yeah.

542

:

Shaun: All the turds I'm not

worried about it because.

543

:

I guess I should be because

everyone thinks that I write

544

:

their shit for them, but I don't.

545

:

It's AI and it's, oh wow,

546

:

Peter: that promotion's

gonna go away real fast.

547

:

Shaun: No, my bosses know that I use ai,

delete, delete, delete, delete, or no,

548

:

they're the ones who told me to use ai.

549

:

They love to comment that.

550

:

Our overseas team is like just using

stock images and AI generated content

551

:

with no heart, but that's really me.

552

:

I'm the one doing that.

553

:

Our team is actually crafting

stuff based on what they send in,

554

:

so they're just racist assholes.

555

:

Peter: Hmm.

556

:

So a lot of people are thinking that.

557

:

Yeah.

558

:

It, like you said there,

there's no heart in it.

559

:

However, ais have now been

programmed to show sympathy.

560

:

I don't know if a lot of people

have realized this with their home

561

:

devices, their smart home devices,

and we will leave them nameless.

562

:

You know who they are?

563

:

Oh, there's two different ones.

564

:

One starts with a name, the other one

starts with an S, which now you can make.

565

:

Fluid genders.

566

:

Anyway, moving on.

567

:

I

568

:

Carissa: like the voices.

569

:

Sorry, I just have to say that

I really like that you can

570

:

change whatever accent it is.

571

:

Yes.

572

:

Peter: Mine is Irish

because I find it soothing.

573

:

Mine is American because I

couldn't find anything better

574

:

Carissa: and mine is the original

like robot voice because I'm basic,

575

:

Peter: The.

576

:

A lot of this is happening, like

in fear that not necessarily that

577

:

they're gonna take your job, but that

they're taking the higher paying jobs.

578

:

So a lot of people are using AI to

train the new hires, and because they're

579

:

doing that, they can bring them down

and their pay scale because the AI

580

:

covers that position of trainer now.

581

:

So you don't need to pay that person

a hundred thousand dollars a year

582

:

to train at a major corporation.

583

:

So now you've lost that job.

584

:

And so the, because the AI is training

all your new hires, they're like

585

:

bringing them in about $20,000 less

than what they should be making.

586

:

Carissa: Wow.

587

:

That's awful.

588

:

Shaun: Okay.

589

:

I have opinions on this just based

on like my schooling and stuff.

590

:

I understand the use of AI in.

591

:

The workplace and in

training and all that.

592

:

And I think that it's beneficial.

593

:

I am not saying don't use it, but I

don't think that it can fully replace a

594

:

human being because you have to account

for everyone's different learning type.

595

:

You can't just assume that

every single person you hire

596

:

is going to learn the same way.

597

:

Peter: But

598

:

Shaun: what

599

:

Peter: do you think the

aptitude tests are for

600

:

Shaun: I, I'm just saying I think

that you need, some people need.

601

:

That human interaction and that

explanation from a human and being

602

:

shown in order to grasp something and

that maybe is not someone not being

603

:

with the times, but I don't think we're

fully there yet where everything can

604

:

be done by AI or should be done by ai.

605

:

Peter: This comes to my whole back

round here that I'm thinking I.

606

:

I know you can blame it on the voices

or you can blame it on me being a

607

:

conspiracy theorist, the voices.

608

:

But I think that the reason that

they sell, they not, they sell,

609

:

they put out all of these zombie

movies, these apocalyptic movies.

610

:

There's always some truth to that.

611

:

Maybe they, they think that there's

a virus that they have that could

612

:

potentially cause this issue.

613

:

They're preparing you

for when it releases.

614

:

These are the things

that I'm talking about.

615

:

So are these movies not

preparing us for the fact that

616

:

AI might take over at one point?

617

:

Carissa: Yeah,

618

:

Peter: no, I completely agree with that.

619

:

I think.

620

:

And do we not, do they not think that

it's further along than we think it is?

621

:

Carissa: It's definitely further along.

622

:

Shaun: I was gonna say, I think

everything is typically further along

623

:

than they let on think about what we

found out about extraterrestrial life.

624

:

We now know that it is.

625

:

Like 99.9%

626

:

proven to exist

627

:

Peter: and they live in our oceans.

628

:

So let's go back to that.

629

:

I don't like the ocean, so I would

like to say that I was first to

630

:

not get in the fucking water and

now know that there's aliens,

631

:

civilizations that live under there.

632

:

Carissa: That's crazy.

633

:

Peter: But like

634

:

Carissa: I'm still going jet skiing.

635

:

Just that,

636

:

Shaun: that aspect alone it's.

637

:

It's always just been like this

fantasy idea for humans that,

638

:

but it comes from somewhere.

639

:

That's what I'm saying.

640

:

I be, I believe that everything has

to come from some truth, just like

641

:

I believe there is some truth to the

whole lost City of Atlantis thing.

642

:

Peter: Yeah.

643

:

I don't, there's historical writings

that say that Atlantis exists

644

:

and do we know that it wasn't

powered by alien intelligence.

645

:

We don't.

646

:

Now we know they're in the ocean,

so they very well could have sunk

647

:

Thelan city and they're all living

down there in harmony and kumbaya.

648

:

It would make sense.

649

:

You never know.

650

:

But also it goes back to the Gen Z

and millennials and generally everyone

651

:

right now is more afraid of chat GPT

than they are of fascism, which is

652

:

happening in our country right now.

653

:

Yeah, I'd say where are our priorities?

654

:

How are you more afraid of the AI

than the fact that you might not

655

:

be able to vote or your birthright

citizenship might be taken away?

656

:

Shaun: Because so many of them

don't realize it applies to

657

:

them, and that's the problem.

658

:

They don't care unless

they think it affects them

659

:

Carissa: or until it affects them.

660

:

Shaun: And that's the exact

definition of privilege.

661

:

If you're not worried about

it, 'cause it's not going to

662

:

affect you, you are privileged.

663

:

Peter: Right.

664

:

And just to spiral off that for a second,

665

:

Carissa: Oh.

666

:

Peter: While we're talking about

the fact that people don't realize

667

:

anything until it affects them, can

we talk about the drama that has

668

:

ensued in our family as of recently?

669

:

Carissa: Oh, geez.

670

:

I

671

:

Peter: already brought it up a little bit.

672

:

But we didn't go into detail here.

673

:

Do you not realize, and I'm just

gonna say this as a general blanket

674

:

statement, that if you, on our previous

episodes, you know, you know, because

675

:

if you don't, then just catch up.

676

:

But I did do an opening about said asshole

cousin not going to their birthday party.

677

:

I want to point out right now that I

have not missed a cousin's birthday.

678

:

So that was simply just an opening

and 'cause I just say crazy things

679

:

'cause of the voices anyway.

680

:

But if you feel like you're the asshole

cousin that says more about you, what

681

:

are, why are you feel so guilty to

make yourself the asshole cousin?

682

:

Carissa: If the shoe fits?

683

:

The shoe fits, I mean, right.

684

:

Peter: Cinderella.

685

:

Carissa: That's right.

686

:

Peter: So AI does help us a

lot in organizing our episodes.

687

:

So I'm not necessarily afraid of it.

688

:

But sometimes it says something that

are, that's more witty and we just look

689

:

at it and we're like, this is whimsical.

690

:

I'm gonna use it.

691

:

It's fun.

692

:

Anyway, so that, just to bring it right

on back here the fact that we use AI

693

:

to help us get our thoughts out and

figure out what we're gonna talk about

694

:

or how we're going to convey it to you

guys you shouldn't be afraid of it.

695

:

It's not gonna take your job, and it's

only gonna help you in the future.

696

:

And to be honest.

697

:

And what you guys are saying,

only one third of an AI training

698

:

is actually adequate for humans.

699

:

Shaun: Wow.

700

:

So I was right.

701

:

Peter: Yeah.

702

:

So about 33.333%

703

:

is actually enough for you to do

your job, but it's also causing

704

:

you to have a lower pay grade by

just having that in the business.

705

:

Isn't that nuts?

706

:

Carissa: That's insane.

707

:

Peter: How do you feel about that?

708

:

Shaun: I don't know.

709

:

It's, I don't think it's really

something I've thought about before.

710

:

I guess it makes me feel a little weird,

but at the same time I can understand it.

711

:

It's there to help cut costs.

712

:

It's there to help make

things more efficient.

713

:

So if it can, and if the

person is still being paid.

714

:

A good amount of a livable wage for what

they're doing, then I think it's okay.

715

:

What's a livable wage though?

716

:

These days?

717

:

I don't

718

:

Peter: even fucking know.

719

:

We all make a, a, what we consider

a decent income, but it's not a

720

:

livable wage, but it's not a livable

wage as far as our state goes.

721

:

Yeah.

722

:

So I can only imagine what the

rest of the country is dealing

723

:

with New York, California.

724

:

I can't

725

:

Shaun: even imagine.

726

:

Carissa: Can I tell you what

I found out today actually?

727

:

Yes, please.

728

:

Through the news that Massachusetts is the

second most expensive state to live in.

729

:

Yeah.

730

:

As of July, 2025,

731

:

Peter: I believe it.

732

:

Yeah.

733

:

It has been

734

:

Shaun: for a few years.

735

:

Peter: I believe it.

736

:

It's crazy here.

737

:

You do, one thing nice you can

say about this state is you

738

:

get what you pay for, right?

739

:

Shaun: It's the best state to retire in

and the worst state to retire in all at

740

:

the same time because it's so expensive.

741

:

So if you have the money, it's the best

because you can get everything you need.

742

:

But if you don't have the money.

743

:

It's the worst because it's gonna

be one of the most expensive

744

:

states to get what you need.

745

:

Peter: Yeah.

746

:

But it also is one of the states that

is one of the issues right now with the

747

:

whole natural disasters that are going on

and buying all of these spa treatments.

748

:

Did you know this?

749

:

Carissa: Oh my God.

750

:

We

751

:

Peter: are Massachusetts.

752

:

Yep.

753

:

So of course we're all buying $200.

754

:

Head spa treatments.

755

:

Now.

756

:

Carissa: What the fuck

is a head spa treatment?

757

:

Peter: I had a feeling

that you guys would know.

758

:

Shaun: I think I like have an idea,

but I might not have it right.

759

:

Peter: So before I jump into that,

and I'll explain it, somebody

760

:

Shaun: rubbing your head, essentially,

that's what I'm picturing.

761

:

Like Scott massages, hot oil

treatment, stuff like that.

762

:

Carissa: Somebody gonna

condition your hair for hours.

763

:

What is this?

764

:

I need to know.

765

:

Peter: So the biggest one right now

is they call it the Japanese Head Spa

766

:

Treatment, and it runs about $200.

767

:

Oh.

768

:

It's essentially a scalp facial.

769

:

Oh, what the fuck?

770

:

Shaun: You have to shave

your head for that.

771

:

Peter: No.

772

:

So like you guys were saying it combines

traditional Japanese techniques with

773

:

modern hair care practices to cleanse,

exfoliate, and rejuvenate the scalp.

774

:

Carissa: Sounds like going to the salon.

775

:

Peter: It sounds like going to the

spa, getting a massage for your head,

776

:

Carissa: but doesn't the do

777

:

Shaun: the salt rub on your scalp now?

778

:

Carissa: But doesn't a

hairstylist do that when they.

779

:

They're gonna cut your hair.

780

:

They wash when they shampoo you.

781

:

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

782

:

So it's, isn't that the same thing?

783

:

Why is it so expensive?

784

:

Peter: No idea.

785

:

So I guess like the whole thing is to

cleanse your scalp and just get rid

786

:

of the impurities in dead skin cells.

787

:

Shaun: They make shampoo for that

788

:

Carissa: and it's 7 97 as opposed to $200.

789

:

And

790

:

Shaun: if you're really worried about

it, you can get a clarifying shampoo.

791

:

Peter: It's not just that so apparent.

792

:

You know how like when you get

the blackheads on your nose?

793

:

Carissa: Yes.

794

:

Peter: So this is like to clean

out the pores on your head.

795

:

You get

796

:

Carissa: blackheads on your head.

797

:

Peter: You do actually,

798

:

Carissa: what the fuck?

799

:

Peter: Oh my gosh.

800

:

But it's to clean out the hair

follicle so your hair can grow.

801

:

Oh.

802

:

Shaun: So if you're bald,

you should go get this.

803

:

Peter: If you're bald, I think

you're fucked either way.

804

:

But

805

:

Carissa: so why the fuck are people

getting hair transplants and balding when

806

:

you can do, if you're balding, you should

807

:

Peter: go get this.

808

:

I don't know.

809

:

But apparently it's a big thing that's

going on right now, and Massachusetts

810

:

is one of the biggest culprits.

811

:

Interesting.

812

:

Oh yeah.

813

:

Yay.

814

:

Very interesting.

815

:

This is also in direct

correlation to the Texas floods.

816

:

Carissa: What?

817

:

Peter: Yes.

818

:

So since the Texas floods

the Japanese hair head spa

819

:

treatments have gone up 8400%.

820

:

In Massachusetts, not

just in Massachusetts.

821

:

This is a whole countrywide thing.

822

:

Carissa: We, but how is that

correlated to the floods?

823

:

I don't understand.

824

:

Do we

825

:

Shaun: know how much

they've gone up in Texas?

826

:

Peter: I think they've gone

down and that was not a dig.

827

:

But I would say that natural disasters

just in general all over the country, this

828

:

is why I was saying it's a sympathy thing.

829

:

That's so weird.

830

:

How

831

:

Shaun: is that sympathy?

832

:

Like you're not being, it's a guilt thing.

833

:

You're not being sympathetic.

834

:

Oh, they

835

:

Peter: feel guilty, so they're

getting a spa treatment.

836

:

They feel guilty.

837

:

So it's their way of coping

with the fact that they can't

838

:

help them or don't want to.

839

:

That would be my guess.

840

:

Interesting.

841

:

Carissa: I'm very confused.

842

:

I'm don't

843

:

Peter: get this logic.

844

:

Carissa: Please come rub my head

and put things on it because

845

:

I feel guilty about a flood.

846

:

I don't understand my scalp

847

:

Shaun: because someone.

848

:

Had a flood and I feel really

bad that I couldn't help them.

849

:

Please, I'll spend $200 on it.

850

:

Peter: Yes.

851

:

Unfortunately, it's sad.

852

:

109 people died and we're over

here getting scalp massages

853

:

to feel good about ourselves.

854

:

Carissa: I don't fucking get it.

855

:

I just,

856

:

Peter: I don't get this it

doesn't make any sort of sense.

857

:

But to add to your effect, Sean

they, there's a gummy explosion.

858

:

Shaun: What kind of gummies

are we talking about?

859

:

Peter: CBG gummies?

860

:

Oh, the market has exploded.

861

:

847% since the floods.

862

:

Carissa: 847%

863

:

Peter: since the floods.

864

:

Shaun: Wow.

865

:

I believe, and I could be wrong

about this, I believe CBG is good

866

:

for like anxiety and depression.

867

:

I was just

868

:

Carissa: gonna say that it could have

to do with anxiety and depression.

869

:

Shaun: Anti-inflammatory,

neuroprotective, glaucoma relief,

870

:

antibacterial mood, anxiety, support,

appetite, stimulant, pain relief.

871

:

So that kind of makes sense.

872

:

Peter: Yeah.

873

:

So that one is one that

actually makes sense.

874

:

Carissa: That does make sense.

875

:

Peter: But oh, good for eczema.

876

:

Carissa: Oh, I might have to try that.

877

:

Peter: Kristen needs some CBG gummies now.

878

:

Carissa: Thank God you

specialize in these things.

879

:

Peter: But also you guys know about

wellness retreats obviously in these

880

:

adult retreats where you pay thousands

of dollars for people to shut you up.

881

:

Yeah, that's gotten uptick too.

882

:

Since the Ukraine wars and the floods.

883

:

We've gone up 347% in these

adult summer camps, essentially.

884

:

Carissa: What the fuck?

885

:

Shaun: Do you guys think that's

just adults looking for nostalgia?

886

:

Because so many of them went to summer

camp or wanted to go to summer camp,

887

:

so like they find enjoyment from this.

888

:

Peter: But why would it be in

correlation to a natural disaster?

889

:

Oh I wanna go to summer camp because

my, the rest of it might get blown up.

890

:

I

891

:

Shaun: dunno.

892

:

Hear me out for a second.

893

:

So you are a teenager and

you go to summer camp?

894

:

I don't know because I

didn't go to summer camp.

895

:

I'm, this is all movie TV show,

like formulation in my head.

896

:

Something bad happens at school,

but you are going to summer camp,

897

:

so you're getting away from that bad

thing that happened because nobody

898

:

from summer camp knows about school.

899

:

So it's like an escape.

900

:

So if something bad happens, they want to

escape to some place where they feel like

901

:

they have more control or less control.

902

:

But

903

:

Peter: why would you do that as an

adult when a natural disaster happens?

904

:

I understand sending your kids away at

a summer camp and then you go out on a

905

:

bender and start drinking for a week.

906

:

Oh, I didn't

907

:

Shaun: say I understood

908

:

Peter: it.

909

:

I'm just saying, that could be a

reason for nostalgic purposes, but

910

:

wellness retreats are an escape.

911

:

And they feel like it's some

sort of revolutionary thing.

912

:

Like, oh my God, I need

to get away because I feel

913

:

terrible of what just happened.

914

:

But why are we also.

915

:

Uptick it such a high

percentage when somebody else

916

:

literally doesn't have a home.

917

:

Yeah.

918

:

Carissa: Yeah.

919

:

I don't get it

920

:

Shaun: it on that topic.

921

:

Some people have so many homes

and other people have none.

922

:

It's really not.

923

:

Right.

924

:

It bothers me quite a bit.

925

:

Peter: So on a lighter note,

926

:

Carissa: I got morbid.

927

:

Peter: Yeah.

928

:

On a lighter note, do you

guys know what book Talk is?

929

:

Shaun: I, Ooh, I've heard about it,

but I'm probably gonna get it wrong.

930

:

So I'll let you tell me.

931

:

Carissa: Is it like book club

932

:

Shaun: in a way?

933

:

Yeah, I was gonna say that

I think you, you read a book

934

:

Carissa: and you talk about it, right?

935

:

Shaun: It's like the tick the

book side of TikTok, right?

936

:

Where they discuss books

937

:

Peter: Yes, and yes, you're both right.

938

:

But Book Top is essentially an escape.

939

:

With the erotic fan

fiction that's going on.

940

:

Oh, I like this.

941

:

Shaun: Oh, oh.

942

:

It's like that girl from

the show we were watching

943

:

Peter: Yes.

944

:

With the fairies.

945

:

Yeah.

946

:

It was a movie.

947

:

Tell me more.

948

:

Carissa: I'm intrigued.

949

:

Peter: So apparently there on book

talk, and this is not in correlation

950

:

to the floods or anything like that.

951

:

There has been an uptick since.

952

:

Trump took office, 909500%

book talk has been uptick.

953

:

And that is essentially these things

that when you're scrolling through TikTok

954

:

and you see them talk about oh, these

new books, they're only in special.

955

:

Coverings for this by the whole set.

956

:

Five of them.

957

:

Oh.

958

:

If you like vampires on vampires.

959

:

These two sexy men, like

essentially I've seen that.

960

:

Yeah.

961

:

Essentially this one for us

because we scroll through and

962

:

you see so much gay content.

963

:

We're getting all of these gay books that

are popping up where it's two Merman or

964

:

it's like the Snow White, but as two Men.

965

:

One is the Huntsman and the other

one is the Snow White character.

966

:

Carissa: Okay.

967

:

Peter: These erotic interesting

fan fictions, they're talking

968

:

about like having sex in HDN.

969

:

Yeah.

970

:

Is this a

971

:

Shaun: new thing though,

972

:

Peter: or has it been

around for a little while?

973

:

It's been around for a while, but.

974

:

It's becoming more prevalent when

things are happening like this.

975

:

So when people feel anxious or depressed,

they go and turn to all these porn novels.

976

:

There was a

977

:

Shaun: reason I was asking, and it's

because I feel like I remember back

978

:

during the pandemic, I was getting a

lot of these types of tiktoks coming

979

:

up for me when I first joined TikTok.

980

:

I that kind of correlates with people

being depressed and everything and them

981

:

Carissa: during that timeframe.

982

:

Yeah.

983

:

Yeah.

984

:

That would make sense.

985

:

That's why I

986

:

Shaun: was asking if it, it's

been around for a little while.

987

:

Sorry.

988

:

Peter: So you have to hashtag I

guess, book talk and go look for it.

989

:

But it, based on your feed your, for you,

it's going to recommend things for you.

990

:

So this whole, the whole thing of a

guest about this is that they start

991

:

cosplaying as these characters,

which Sean was talking about.

992

:

Carissa: Oh, wow.

993

:

Peter: And they're having this whole

virtual reality conference where they

994

:

all meet each other as these characters.

995

:

They have.

996

:

It's

997

:

Carissa: like an erotic Zoom call.

998

:

Peter: Yes.

999

:

Carissa watches two.

:

00:42:22,783 --> 00:42:24,133

Shaun: It's from Jenny in Georgia.

:

00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:28,463

The girl that read, the friend

that reads the books, and she

:

00:42:28,463 --> 00:42:29,468

dresses like, no, that's very core.

:

00:42:29,568 --> 00:42:30,443

The fairy friend.

:

00:42:30,473 --> 00:42:30,983

Yeah.

:

00:42:31,313 --> 00:42:32,268

Carissa: Oh, that's what that is.

:

00:42:32,268 --> 00:42:33,053

That's what the like

:

00:42:33,263 --> 00:42:34,883

Peter: essentially it's like that, right?

:

00:42:34,883 --> 00:42:36,983

No fairy core is just that.

:

00:42:36,983 --> 00:42:39,413

It's you dress up like

fairies do your makeup.

:

00:42:39,413 --> 00:42:39,953

Like fairy are, but

:

00:42:39,953 --> 00:42:41,393

Shaun: hers was based on a book.

:

00:42:41,663 --> 00:42:42,803

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

:

00:42:43,803 --> 00:42:46,443

That's why I was, that's why

I was correlating the two.

:

00:42:46,683 --> 00:42:48,653

Peter: But to escape their reality.

:

00:42:48,653 --> 00:42:50,693

They're reading these instead of news,

:

00:42:51,113 --> 00:42:51,998

Carissa: the virtual orgy.

:

00:42:52,613 --> 00:42:53,393

Shaun: Essentially

:

00:42:53,393 --> 00:42:53,903

Peter: Yes.

:

00:42:54,053 --> 00:42:54,863

Carissa: That's wild.

:

00:42:55,733 --> 00:42:59,213

Shaun: I can get why the

world is fucked up right now.

:

00:43:00,063 --> 00:43:04,533

Peter: VR sales are up 833%

since book talk took over.

:

00:43:04,773 --> 00:43:06,213

Oh my.

:

00:43:06,283 --> 00:43:08,503

And romance sales are up 52%.

:

00:43:09,223 --> 00:43:09,613

Damn.

:

00:43:10,183 --> 00:43:10,723

Wow.

:

00:43:11,293 --> 00:43:12,823

So you got a lot of these people.

:

00:43:12,823 --> 00:43:13,693

So just do it.

:

00:43:13,693 --> 00:43:18,433

Go scroll through your feed

or go in and search book talk.

:

00:43:18,778 --> 00:43:22,658

I know what I'll be doing tonight at

1:00 AM Let me know what comes up.

:

00:43:23,658 --> 00:43:25,848

Tag us, send us a screenshot.

:

00:43:26,118 --> 00:43:28,218

It would be amazing to

see what comes up for you.

:

00:43:28,558 --> 00:43:30,658

Mine is probably going

to be men and thongs.

:

00:43:30,688 --> 00:43:34,318

'cause I watch a lot of those dancing

videos, but anyway, I Or the fat girls.

:

00:43:34,618 --> 00:43:36,328

Oh, that is Instagram.

:

00:43:36,553 --> 00:43:38,068

Carissa: It always comes up for you.

:

00:43:39,068 --> 00:43:40,268

Peter: Mine's gonna be drag queens.

:

00:43:40,268 --> 00:43:40,778

I'm sure.

:

00:43:41,168 --> 00:43:44,258

I've got nothing against fat women.

:

00:43:44,438 --> 00:43:48,348

But they're literally my

entire Instagram for you.

:

00:43:49,348 --> 00:43:50,638

I don't understand.

:

00:43:51,448 --> 00:43:53,038

Carissa: And now they're

doing the AI ones.

:

00:43:53,038 --> 00:43:53,788

Have you seen those?

:

00:43:53,788 --> 00:43:54,178

Sorry.

:

00:43:54,178 --> 00:43:54,478

Yes.

:

00:43:55,078 --> 00:43:56,308

I went way off topic.

:

00:43:56,308 --> 00:43:58,408

But they're doing the AI

ones where the girl's like.

:

00:43:59,143 --> 00:44:00,433

Sinking ships.

:

00:44:00,553 --> 00:44:00,883

Yeah.

:

00:44:00,883 --> 00:44:01,303

Shaun: Yes.

:

00:44:01,543 --> 00:44:02,743

I've been getting that.

:

00:44:02,833 --> 00:44:03,433

Carissa: Did you see all

:

00:44:03,433 --> 00:44:05,503

Shaun: different AI ones

of the sinking ships?

:

00:44:05,533 --> 00:44:06,778

I did show feel like that's a cannon ball.

:

00:44:07,018 --> 00:44:09,313

Carissa: I Wait, did I show you

guys the one on the jet ski?

:

00:44:09,313 --> 00:44:09,583

Yes.

:

00:44:09,583 --> 00:44:09,643

Yeah.

:

00:44:09,643 --> 00:44:11,953

How did she get so much air

and then sink everything?

:

00:44:11,953 --> 00:44:12,973

I don't understand.

:

00:44:13,063 --> 00:44:16,543

Peter: How much does she get so much air

and then so much depth at the same time?

:

00:44:16,548 --> 00:44:16,818

Exactly.

:

00:44:17,818 --> 00:44:18,628

It's terrible.

:

00:44:18,668 --> 00:44:20,948

This AI thing is out of control.

:

00:44:21,008 --> 00:44:22,058

Carissa: It's so fun though.

:

00:44:22,178 --> 00:44:22,658

Peter: I like the

:

00:44:22,658 --> 00:44:24,308

Carissa: little foods with the faces.

:

00:44:24,338 --> 00:44:24,698

Yeah.

:

00:44:24,878 --> 00:44:26,228

That eat the little pieces.

:

00:44:26,318 --> 00:44:26,798

I love the

:

00:44:26,798 --> 00:44:27,548

Peter: Yetis.

:

00:44:27,548 --> 00:44:27,758

Yeah.

:

00:44:27,848 --> 00:44:29,048

The Yetis are the best.

:

00:44:29,048 --> 00:44:29,198

I

:

00:44:29,198 --> 00:44:29,713

Carissa: haven't seen those.

:

00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:30,728

And the gorillas,

:

00:44:30,908 --> 00:44:33,728

Peter: the ones where they're they're

doing hard drugs in the woods.

:

00:44:33,728 --> 00:44:35,168

They're my god love.

:

00:44:35,168 --> 00:44:35,348

Oh, the

:

00:44:35,363 --> 00:44:36,608

Carissa: gorillas I have seen, I

:

00:44:36,608 --> 00:44:38,858

Shaun: love the Ratchet Yeti girls.

:

00:44:39,098 --> 00:44:39,128

Oh.

:

00:44:39,128 --> 00:44:41,108

The one with the like blonde wig and nail.

:

00:44:41,108 --> 00:44:42,548

They make me laugh

:

00:44:42,548 --> 00:44:43,718

Peter: so much.

:

00:44:44,453 --> 00:44:48,233

They're basically like these

what would be a black woman?

:

00:44:48,618 --> 00:44:52,788

And they're talking about how the other

one's a hoe and she's at this party around

:

00:44:52,788 --> 00:44:56,838

the campfire and she needs to leave 'cause

she had her baby daddy and all this stuff.

:

00:44:57,588 --> 00:44:57,828

Yeah.

:

00:44:57,828 --> 00:45:00,108

The father's day one was hilarious.

:

00:45:00,888 --> 00:45:02,148

Yeah, they're crazy.

:

00:45:02,148 --> 00:45:02,898

You look 'em up.

:

00:45:02,898 --> 00:45:03,348

They're funny.

:

00:45:03,348 --> 00:45:05,088

Carissa: See, AI is fun sometimes

:

00:45:05,838 --> 00:45:09,464

Peter: I love the ones where it's

the yeti tripping balls in the woods.

:

00:45:10,464 --> 00:45:13,404

He goes, I just met these three

raccoons and they told me doing

:

00:45:13,404 --> 00:45:16,644

10 pounds of shrooms is child's

play, so I'm gonna do it now.

:

00:45:17,004 --> 00:45:18,714

Carissa: Oh yeah you

shared that one with us.

:

00:45:18,804 --> 00:45:19,014

Yeah.

:

00:45:19,284 --> 00:45:21,234

Shaun: I just found a new one today.

:

00:45:21,234 --> 00:45:26,014

It was this old lady and she was

just reading questions from people

:

00:45:26,014 --> 00:45:28,444

and giving them the craziest.

:

00:45:28,999 --> 00:45:29,929

Responses.

:

00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,299

Like one was he says,

I'm too high maintenance.

:

00:45:32,299 --> 00:45:33,439

Tell 'em you're too low.

:

00:45:33,489 --> 00:45:34,239

Low budget.

:

00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:35,989

I love the ones

:

00:45:35,989 --> 00:45:38,839

Peter: where it's the,

they, what do you call that?

:

00:45:39,074 --> 00:45:40,364

The food service people.

:

00:45:40,369 --> 00:45:40,709

Oh, yeah.

:

00:45:40,709 --> 00:45:42,074

And the people are yelling at them.

:

00:45:42,434 --> 00:45:43,094

Carissa: Oh my God.

:

00:45:43,094 --> 00:45:43,544

Yeah.

:

00:45:43,904 --> 00:45:45,344

Peter: They're like, oh, you're what?

:

00:45:45,344 --> 00:45:50,504

You're one Big Mac away from a

coronary or something like that.

:

00:45:51,504 --> 00:45:53,844

And then they're like, oh

yeah, this food is cold.

:

00:45:53,844 --> 00:45:56,184

Why don't you h heat it up

with that hot ass breath?

:

00:45:57,184 --> 00:45:57,694

I don't know.

:

00:45:57,694 --> 00:45:58,984

These people are going nuts.

:

00:45:58,984 --> 00:46:00,964

I wanna hear what goes on in their minds.

:

00:46:01,564 --> 00:46:02,164

For real.

:

00:46:02,614 --> 00:46:04,114

Carissa: They're having a

good time and I like it.

:

00:46:05,114 --> 00:46:05,894

I'm here for it.

:

00:46:06,894 --> 00:46:10,884

Peter: So before I touch on any more

of this stuff, have you guys heard

:

00:46:10,884 --> 00:46:14,004

any crazy news from July,:

:

00:46:14,454 --> 00:46:17,184

Shaun: I know that

there's been some stuff.

:

00:46:18,024 --> 00:46:21,324

I'm trying to think really quickly.

:

00:46:22,324 --> 00:46:27,824

Oh, I know that Superman

made a big impact.

:

00:46:28,334 --> 00:46:29,684

Peter: Yeah, a lot of

people don't like it.

:

00:46:29,894 --> 00:46:30,644

Shaun: I don't know why.

:

00:46:31,644 --> 00:46:34,794

I think, I feel like they said it

went woke, but they don't remember

:

00:46:34,794 --> 00:46:38,084

that he was a big part of and then

the comics that he was fighting

:

00:46:38,084 --> 00:46:40,334

Nazis and stuff, he was always woke.

:

00:46:40,334 --> 00:46:42,584

He never was.

:

00:46:42,734 --> 00:46:43,964

Peter: I don't understand.

:

00:46:44,654 --> 00:46:46,784

Woke is not a bad thing.

:

00:46:47,784 --> 00:46:52,044

Shaun: It's the people that

it affects that want to make

:

00:46:52,044 --> 00:46:53,724

others think it's a bad thing.

:

00:46:54,654 --> 00:46:58,734

Peter: It's just, honestly, it's

somebody who's enlightened to the truth.

:

00:46:59,424 --> 00:46:59,874

Shaun: Yeah,

:

00:47:00,534 --> 00:47:03,504

Peter: it doesn't necessarily

mean oh, I don't know.

:

00:47:03,504 --> 00:47:06,054

I feel like people are just

using it in negative connotation.

:

00:47:06,054 --> 00:47:07,044

They don't even know what it means.

:

00:47:08,044 --> 00:47:09,754

I feel like that's a lot of things.

:

00:47:10,414 --> 00:47:10,834

Anyway.

:

00:47:11,444 --> 00:47:12,794

Any other crazy news?

:

00:47:13,794 --> 00:47:17,544

I know Chris had something about Pilates

that's going on in the fitness world.

:

00:47:17,544 --> 00:47:17,964

Major

:

00:47:17,964 --> 00:47:21,894

Carissa: industry shift reformer

Pilates goes big, so I don't know.

:

00:47:21,894 --> 00:47:23,604

Pilates is becoming a big thing.

:

00:47:23,604 --> 00:47:24,024

Again,

:

00:47:24,294 --> 00:47:26,304

Shaun: I wonder if that has to

do with the Audrey Hobert song.

:

00:47:27,304 --> 00:47:27,514

Hmm.

:

00:47:28,514 --> 00:47:29,504

She's getting so good at Pilates,

:

00:47:30,024 --> 00:47:34,814

Carissa: It says Lifetime is piloting

a new on-Trend fitness group.

:

00:47:34,814 --> 00:47:36,284

Fitness Pilates class.

:

00:47:36,824 --> 00:47:37,124

Why?

:

00:47:37,154 --> 00:47:37,934

Why is that a thing?

:

00:47:37,934 --> 00:47:40,784

That was a thing when we were kids,

but yeah, I don't know about now.

:

00:47:40,784 --> 00:47:41,474

It's weird.

:

00:47:41,744 --> 00:47:45,074

So apparently they're gonna be doing

live fitness classes on TV again.

:

00:47:45,524 --> 00:47:46,004

Peter: Oh my God.

:

00:47:46,004 --> 00:47:46,664

Those exist though.

:

00:47:47,264 --> 00:47:51,434

Carissa: I, that's, they hadn't, as far

as I knew for years, which is weird.

:

00:47:52,259 --> 00:47:54,719

Pilates is picking up again, and

a lot of people are creating their

:

00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,439

own Pilates studios and I know

that's become a huge thing and it's

:

00:47:58,439 --> 00:48:03,809

like body weight exercise and, but

it's not just body weight exercise.

:

00:48:03,809 --> 00:48:07,919

They're doing some weird contortion

shit that I've seen reels and I'm like,

:

00:48:07,979 --> 00:48:09,359

I would not go in there and do that.

:

00:48:09,359 --> 00:48:10,049

I'm sorry.

:

00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:14,579

Peter: Has, okay, so that has, I

used to do Pilates and I used to

:

00:48:14,579 --> 00:48:16,619

do yoga when I worked in Boston.

:

00:48:17,619 --> 00:48:19,719

I feel like this is just a way.

:

00:48:20,664 --> 00:48:25,014

Like this whole thing on the TV is just

a way for be able people to be able to do

:

00:48:25,014 --> 00:48:27,324

their Pilates and fart in their own homes.

:

00:48:28,044 --> 00:48:28,224

Carissa: Probably.

:

00:48:29,224 --> 00:48:33,454

Peter: Can I tell you how many people

during hot yoga would just let it rip?

:

00:48:33,454 --> 00:48:35,254

'cause they get into an awful position.

:

00:48:35,944 --> 00:48:37,144

Carissa: People in the gym do that too.

:

00:48:37,384 --> 00:48:37,564

Oh,

:

00:48:37,564 --> 00:48:39,759

Peter: see, it's not just Pilates.

:

00:48:39,904 --> 00:48:42,124

This is just a way of making

it socially acceptable.

:

00:48:43,024 --> 00:48:43,534

Carissa: Yeah,

:

00:48:43,684 --> 00:48:47,074

Peter: to blow ass when you're

freaking doing downward dog.

:

00:48:47,474 --> 00:48:49,184

Carissa: If you shit yourself,

then that's a problem.

:

00:48:49,589 --> 00:48:49,989

You're at

:

00:48:49,989 --> 00:48:51,189

Peter: home at least, right?

:

00:48:52,189 --> 00:48:52,479

True.

:

00:48:52,509 --> 00:48:52,839

Very true.

:

00:48:52,844 --> 00:48:53,599

I, they're true.

:

00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:53,624

They're trying

:

00:48:53,714 --> 00:48:57,524

Carissa: to get more people to

work out at home just because a lot

:

00:48:57,524 --> 00:49:00,404

of people feel uncomfortable with

their bodies or their weight and

:

00:49:00,404 --> 00:49:01,814

they don't wanna walk into a gym.

:

00:49:02,114 --> 00:49:05,384

So maybe it's something to get

them started, and it's, if you have

:

00:49:05,384 --> 00:49:07,724

cable, then you can do it for free.

:

00:49:07,754 --> 00:49:08,624

Essentially, it's not free.

:

00:49:08,624 --> 00:49:11,774

You're paying for cable, but I

think that's the idea behind it.

:

00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:12,499

Mm-hmm.

:

00:49:13,184 --> 00:49:14,234

Why now?

:

00:49:14,264 --> 00:49:14,954

You know what I mean?

:

00:49:14,954 --> 00:49:16,994

They had that in the nineties

and then it went away

:

00:49:17,144 --> 00:49:18,644

Peter: because something's

happening in the world.

:

00:49:18,644 --> 00:49:20,144

Maybe there is a correlation.

:

00:49:20,324 --> 00:49:20,804

Carissa: See,

:

00:49:20,984 --> 00:49:21,614

Peter: they're feeling

:

00:49:22,454 --> 00:49:23,024

Carissa: good point.

:

00:49:23,024 --> 00:49:23,025

Guilty.

:

00:49:23,025 --> 00:49:23,027

Good point.

:

00:49:23,027 --> 00:49:23,029

Good point.

:

00:49:23,774 --> 00:49:26,834

Shaun: I have a couple crazy things

really quick before we move on.

:

00:49:27,274 --> 00:49:33,184

There was a, there was some

wild footage of a b tornado.

:

00:49:33,634 --> 00:49:35,434

What in New York?

:

00:49:35,494 --> 00:49:35,644

Peter: What?

:

00:49:36,544 --> 00:49:37,024

In New York.

:

00:49:37,024 --> 00:49:38,164

What part of New York, sorry, there's

:

00:49:38,164 --> 00:49:40,264

Shaun: not footage, but

there was a bee tornado.

:

00:49:40,564 --> 00:49:46,384

Midtown Manhattan was briefly

engulfed by swarming swirling bees.

:

00:49:46,834 --> 00:49:53,524

One new NYU student described it as the

actual realization of her biggest fear.

:

00:49:54,524 --> 00:49:58,394

Peter: Okay, we've been sitting

here talking about the apocalypse

:

00:49:58,424 --> 00:49:59,654

and it's actually happening.

:

00:49:59,714 --> 00:50:04,069

Shaun: Yeah, I was gonna say the last part

of this, it's part of a wave of unusual

:

00:50:04,069 --> 00:50:06,619

insect activity across the US this summer.

:

00:50:07,619 --> 00:50:10,679

Peter: That's a little crazy, but

I'll show, just to touch on that.

:

00:50:10,679 --> 00:50:12,089

Not necessarily a spiral.

:

00:50:12,089 --> 00:50:14,009

Do you guys know who Baba Vanga is?

:

00:50:14,699 --> 00:50:15,029

Carissa: No,

:

00:50:15,749 --> 00:50:16,649

Peter: I think you do.

:

00:50:17,129 --> 00:50:18,149

I know about her.

:

00:50:18,209 --> 00:50:19,439

You know, a lot more.

:

00:50:19,979 --> 00:50:22,459

So she's like this Bulgarian, psychic.

:

00:50:23,129 --> 00:50:28,349

And she's predicted a ton of major events

before she died and she died, I wanna

:

00:50:28,349 --> 00:50:30,479

say back in the forties or fifties.

:

00:50:30,689 --> 00:50:30,809

Carissa: Mm-hmm.

:

00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:33,869

Peter: So she's predicted a lot

of these future events that have

:

00:50:33,869 --> 00:50:39,009

happened, including the war and

that's going on with Iran right now.

:

00:50:39,009 --> 00:50:42,219

It's not necessarily a war,

but she predicted that there

:

00:50:42,219 --> 00:50:45,934

would be a major event that

would change the face of Europe.

:

00:50:46,934 --> 00:50:47,444

Forever.

:

00:50:47,444 --> 00:50:48,854

And it happened in this year.

:

00:50:49,154 --> 00:50:49,574

Carissa: Oh, wow.

:

00:50:49,854 --> 00:50:55,614

Peter: She predicted that the, that

Trump would get into power, lose

:

00:50:55,614 --> 00:50:57,384

his power, and then be reelected.

:

00:50:58,084 --> 00:51:02,584

And then she also predicted that there

would be a major outbreak of a disease

:

00:51:02,584 --> 00:51:08,374

that happened in:

disappear and return 10 years later.

:

00:51:08,884 --> 00:51:10,174

That's crazy.

:

00:51:10,354 --> 00:51:12,994

So if everything is.

:

00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:14,149

Correct.

:

00:51:14,149 --> 00:51:17,089

And a lot of them have come

true and a lot of them have not.

:

00:51:17,479 --> 00:51:17,839

Carissa: Wow.

:

00:51:18,149 --> 00:51:19,919

Peter: COVID will be back in:

:

00:51:20,919 --> 00:51:21,609

Carissa: It's still here,

:

00:51:22,089 --> 00:51:24,789

Peter: but it's gonna be worse and

it's gonna kill a lot more people.

:

00:51:25,029 --> 00:51:25,779

Carissa: It's insane.

:

00:51:25,859 --> 00:51:29,559

Peter: But there is the only reason

I'm bringing this up is because

:

00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:34,479

there's also a Japanese a Japanese

psychic that's going around and she

:

00:51:34,479 --> 00:51:37,359

wrote a book, I believe back in this.

:

00:51:37,824 --> 00:51:39,294

Seventies or the eighties.

:

00:51:39,924 --> 00:51:45,144

She wrote a book and it predict it

has been accurately predicting every

:

00:51:45,144 --> 00:51:48,324

major natural disaster and life event.

:

00:51:49,134 --> 00:51:50,244

She has not been wrong.

:

00:51:50,844 --> 00:51:51,234

Carissa: Wow.

:

00:51:51,294 --> 00:51:57,334

Peter: And according to this year that

she said that there would be a major

:

00:51:57,334 --> 00:52:04,984

cataclysmic event that happens in the

ocean between Japan and China causing.

:

00:52:05,509 --> 00:52:11,029

Major Earthquakes, tsunamis,

and essentially changing

:

00:52:11,029 --> 00:52:13,249

the face of Japan forever.

:

00:52:13,819 --> 00:52:14,179

Carissa: Wow.

:

00:52:14,599 --> 00:52:19,499

Peter: All of these people that

have had tickets during this time

:

00:52:19,499 --> 00:52:23,189

period to fly to Japan are now

canceling their tickets because

:

00:52:23,189 --> 00:52:25,139

she's predicted things so accurately.

:

00:52:25,919 --> 00:52:26,849

Carissa: That's insane.

:

00:52:27,849 --> 00:52:31,809

Shaun: I was gonna say, it was predicted

for July 5th and it didn't happen.

:

00:52:32,589 --> 00:52:33,999

Peter: So she got one thing wrong

:

00:52:34,629 --> 00:52:38,239

Shaun: because that was one of my

crazy news things I had on here.

:

00:52:38,509 --> 00:52:39,859

Carissa: Maybe her timing was off.

:

00:52:39,949 --> 00:52:40,789

Shaun: Maybe it

:

00:52:40,789 --> 00:52:42,589

Carissa: could be, it could

still, it could still happen.

:

00:52:42,649 --> 00:52:44,419

Peter: Maybe it's August

5th, you don't know.

:

00:52:44,929 --> 00:52:48,499

Anyway, there's another one that's

rising right now, another psychic,

:

00:52:48,499 --> 00:52:51,109

and I believe he is Italian.

:

00:52:52,109 --> 00:52:54,749

But he's predicted a

lot of the same events.

:

00:52:55,249 --> 00:52:56,719

So we'll see what happens.

:

00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:57,564

But I thought that was crazy.

:

00:52:58,504 --> 00:53:01,244

Shaun: No, that is pretty

crazy to be completely honest.

:

00:53:01,244 --> 00:53:05,574

Just that there's anyone

predicting anything that's

:

00:53:05,664 --> 00:53:07,454

actually happening is insane.

:

00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:11,864

Peter: I wish The Simpsons predicted

accurately for, an event that was supposed

:

00:53:11,864 --> 00:53:13,784

to happen, don't we, a few weeks ago.

:

00:53:13,784 --> 00:53:13,964

I

:

00:53:13,964 --> 00:53:14,504

Carissa: know.

:

00:53:14,684 --> 00:53:15,404

Peter: But I digress.

:

00:53:16,404 --> 00:53:23,274

Shaun: So another crazy thing that has

happened, let's talk a little bit about,

:

00:53:24,274 --> 00:53:26,374

Peter: oh, why diaper rash?

:

00:53:26,554 --> 00:53:26,884

Same.

:

00:53:27,884 --> 00:53:30,104

The pliers you took away

from me in the last episode.

:

00:53:30,584 --> 00:53:32,174

That Yeah, definitely.

:

00:53:32,444 --> 00:53:32,834

I'm glad he,

:

00:53:33,254 --> 00:53:34,064

Shaun: we took them away.

:

00:53:34,064 --> 00:53:35,594

No, the voices

:

00:53:35,594 --> 00:53:36,164

Carissa: were talking.

:

00:53:36,164 --> 00:53:36,614

I know it.

:

00:53:37,614 --> 00:53:39,044

Shaun: I was gonna say master chef.

:

00:53:39,729 --> 00:53:40,359

Scandal.

:

00:53:40,809 --> 00:53:40,989

Mm-hmm.

:

00:53:40,989 --> 00:53:47,329

There was two hosts, Greg

Wallace and John Todo Toro.

:

00:53:47,759 --> 00:53:50,249

I don't know how you say his

last name, doesn't matter.

:

00:53:50,339 --> 00:53:54,519

He was, they were both dismissed

for an investigation upheld multiple

:

00:53:54,519 --> 00:53:57,399

harassment and racism allegations.

:

00:53:57,609 --> 00:54:02,769

So fuck you guys for

harassment and racism.

:

00:54:02,769 --> 00:54:05,694

No one needs that around, but

what were they racist towards?

:

00:54:06,639 --> 00:54:08,559

Carissa: Was it the

spices they were using?

:

00:54:08,609 --> 00:54:08,729

To

:

00:54:08,834 --> 00:54:12,644

Peter: be real, I think that we

all heard that joke where it was

:

00:54:12,704 --> 00:54:17,084

the Indian, fuck you, turmeric, the

Indian people that were talking about.

:

00:54:17,084 --> 00:54:18,494

You stole all of our spices.

:

00:54:18,494 --> 00:54:18,914

Yeah.

:

00:54:19,634 --> 00:54:21,524

And you still don't

know how to season food.

:

00:54:21,644 --> 00:54:22,544

That was one of the best

:

00:54:22,544 --> 00:54:23,834

Shaun: jokes I've ever heard.

:

00:54:24,834 --> 00:54:25,224

Peter: I don't know.

:

00:54:25,224 --> 00:54:30,654

I don't understand how you, I

don't understand racism in general.

:

00:54:30,684 --> 00:54:31,164

Not, neither

:

00:54:31,164 --> 00:54:31,344

Shaun: do

:

00:54:31,394 --> 00:54:32,414

Peter: I don't understand how you.

:

00:54:33,414 --> 00:54:37,074

I know this is really awful to

say, but I'll explain why I don't

:

00:54:37,074 --> 00:54:44,494

understand how you can be racist When

we're all of the human race, are you

:

00:54:44,494 --> 00:54:49,444

not being ethicist at that point?

:

00:54:49,444 --> 00:54:51,874

You don't like someone

because of their ethnicity?

:

00:54:52,594 --> 00:54:53,494

I see what you're saying.

:

00:54:53,524 --> 00:54:54,424

We're all human.

:

00:54:54,424 --> 00:54:54,754

We're all

:

00:54:54,754 --> 00:54:55,894

Shaun: of the human race.

:

00:54:56,854 --> 00:55:01,354

I don't think many humans are smart

enough to think about it like that.

:

00:55:02,254 --> 00:55:03,034

Carissa: Hate is taught.

:

00:55:03,574 --> 00:55:04,054

Peter: Yes.

:

00:55:04,564 --> 00:55:06,514

It is an inherited behavior.

:

00:55:06,844 --> 00:55:06,934

Right.

:

00:55:06,934 --> 00:55:08,014

It's not inherited.

:

00:55:08,014 --> 00:55:08,314

It is taught.

:

00:55:08,314 --> 00:55:08,464

It's

:

00:55:09,369 --> 00:55:09,934

Shaun: a learned behavior.

:

00:55:10,114 --> 00:55:13,804

Once you're taught to hate someone

or a certain group of people, it's

:

00:55:14,164 --> 00:55:16,654

very hard to see it any differently.

:

00:55:16,804 --> 00:55:16,984

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:55:16,984 --> 00:55:18,304

It's just like you with your tags.

:

00:55:19,304 --> 00:55:20,269

Shaun: No, that's different.

:

00:55:20,289 --> 00:55:21,254

You hate my tags.

:

00:55:21,254 --> 00:55:22,394

I love my tags.

:

00:55:22,634 --> 00:55:22,994

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:55:22,994 --> 00:55:23,204

I

:

00:55:23,204 --> 00:55:23,564

Shaun: hate the

:

00:55:23,564 --> 00:55:24,644

Peter: sound that your tags

:

00:55:24,644 --> 00:55:25,034

Shaun: make.

:

00:55:26,034 --> 00:55:26,874

Peter: Yes, exactly.

:

00:55:26,874 --> 00:55:28,134

Carissa: I don't know how he hears that.

:

00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:29,259

Shaun: No one does.

:

00:55:29,799 --> 00:55:30,219

No one knows.

:

00:55:30,219 --> 00:55:30,674

I don't ever hear,

:

00:55:30,674 --> 00:55:32,114

Carissa: I never know

when you're doing it.

:

00:55:32,114 --> 00:55:33,344

And then he is like swearing at you.

:

00:55:33,644 --> 00:55:35,084

Anyway, that's besides the point.

:

00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,424

Peter: That's making me

sound like I'm abusive.

:

00:55:38,424 --> 00:55:39,739

No, he just likes to swear.

:

00:55:40,739 --> 00:55:42,059

I'm from Massachusetts.

:

00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:43,319

It's how we show our love.

:

00:55:44,319 --> 00:55:51,279

But anyway, in light of these events, I

know it's been a pretty serious episode.

:

00:55:51,619 --> 00:55:52,339

But.

:

00:55:53,134 --> 00:55:58,234

So we've also given a lot of

aid, so that meant that should

:

00:55:58,444 --> 00:56:00,004

make you feel happy and fuzzy.

:

00:56:00,344 --> 00:56:00,404

Yay.

:

00:56:01,404 --> 00:56:07,464

America has donated up to 400% of

the aid for the Israel Gaza war

:

00:56:07,644 --> 00:56:14,994

in the, have donated this 400%

to Gaza to help their people.

:

00:56:15,994 --> 00:56:21,664

So we also have donated to the

Texas floods for a hundred percent.

:

00:56:21,664 --> 00:56:23,374

So all of this is included.

:

00:56:23,374 --> 00:56:30,254

The Texas floods, the Ukraine War

and the Gaza Israel War Palestine.

:

00:56:30,584 --> 00:56:35,784

We have donated on behalf of

these people that are going up

:

00:56:35,784 --> 00:56:38,274

to 400%, which is really cool.

:

00:56:38,844 --> 00:56:39,354

Carissa: Wow.

:

00:56:39,354 --> 00:56:39,414

Peter: Wow.

:

00:56:40,054 --> 00:56:40,624

We also.

:

00:56:41,624 --> 00:56:42,644

Sorry, excuse me.

:

00:56:42,704 --> 00:56:45,764

I had a little bit of in my throat.

:

00:56:45,764 --> 00:56:46,514

Why don't you

:

00:56:46,514 --> 00:56:48,314

Carissa: drink some more of God's water?

:

00:56:48,504 --> 00:56:49,044

I'm sorry.

:

00:56:49,044 --> 00:56:49,254

Jesus.

:

00:56:49,944 --> 00:56:52,074

Peter: Kristo the water

makes the voices talk more.

:

00:56:53,074 --> 00:56:59,374

But also our local community engagement

is up 67%, so we're actually talking

:

00:56:59,374 --> 00:57:00,469

to each other, which is cool.

:

00:57:00,899 --> 00:57:01,189

Nice.

:

00:57:02,159 --> 00:57:02,379

And.

:

00:57:03,309 --> 00:57:06,519

Little tidbit here should also

make you feel warm and fuzzy.

:

00:57:06,569 --> 00:57:10,349

We have been building community

gardens in neighborhoods.

:

00:57:10,769 --> 00:57:11,399

That's awesome.

:

00:57:11,429 --> 00:57:13,559

And that is up 112%.

:

00:57:13,859 --> 00:57:14,879

Carissa: That's really nice.

:

00:57:15,179 --> 00:57:15,449

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:57:15,449 --> 00:57:19,499

So we're trying to feed each other,

even though little spoiler alert.

:

00:57:19,499 --> 00:57:24,129

And I know this is gonna be morbid

but there should be no issue

:

00:57:24,129 --> 00:57:25,929

with homeless in this country.

:

00:57:25,929 --> 00:57:27,459

I don't know if you two are aware of this.

:

00:57:28,014 --> 00:57:33,114

There is essentially three homes

to every one homeless person.

:

00:57:33,354 --> 00:57:37,764

So there's three homes that are

abandoned and available to every

:

00:57:37,764 --> 00:57:39,504

homeless person in this country.

:

00:57:39,564 --> 00:57:40,944

That's fucking disgusting.

:

00:57:40,944 --> 00:57:41,244

That's

:

00:57:41,484 --> 00:57:41,694

Carissa: insane.

:

00:57:41,964 --> 00:57:42,324

Peter: Yes.

:

00:57:42,474 --> 00:57:47,184

So there should be no homelessness

because we literally have excess homes.

:

00:57:47,664 --> 00:57:48,204

Forgive them.

:

00:57:48,264 --> 00:57:48,624

That is

:

00:57:48,624 --> 00:57:52,774

Shaun: just proof that a capitalist

society, economy, whatever you

:

00:57:52,774 --> 00:57:56,104

wanna fucking call it, is not

necessarily the best thing.

:

00:57:56,824 --> 00:57:57,154

Peter: Right.

:

00:57:57,364 --> 00:58:02,164

It's not, it's just not, because when

you give somebody the ability to make

:

00:58:02,164 --> 00:58:06,454

as much money as they want, it doesn't

necessarily correlate to the fact that

:

00:58:06,454 --> 00:58:10,894

they're gonna give people to help give to

people, to help them better their lives.

:

00:58:10,984 --> 00:58:11,794

Shaun: Exactly.

:

00:58:11,914 --> 00:58:14,944

They just, you're giving them

the opportunity to be greedy.

:

00:58:15,484 --> 00:58:16,654

Peter: What happened with what?

:

00:58:16,654 --> 00:58:17,874

Bezos mm-hmm.

:

00:58:18,639 --> 00:58:20,599

He is one of the richest

people in the world.

:

00:58:20,719 --> 00:58:21,679

And what did he do?

:

00:58:21,859 --> 00:58:23,959

He shot Katie Katy Perry, into space.

:

00:58:24,559 --> 00:58:27,769

And she kissed the fucking

ground when she got back.

:

00:58:28,769 --> 00:58:31,469

I, she lost her damn mind up

there in the stratosphere.

:

00:58:32,369 --> 00:58:33,299

Carissa: I'm sure she did.

:

00:58:33,809 --> 00:58:38,999

Peter: And she came back and she was like

yelling at her fans and talking about

:

00:58:38,999 --> 00:58:42,239

how her husband is hers and not anymore.

:

00:58:42,269 --> 00:58:42,659

Yeah.

:

00:58:42,659 --> 00:58:44,159

And they, and then they got a divorce.

:

00:58:44,969 --> 00:58:45,839

Carissa: Maybe she got abducted,

:

00:58:45,839 --> 00:58:47,309

Peter: I guess she wanted, she got probed.

:

00:58:47,339 --> 00:58:49,559

I guess she wanted that

fan from the front row.

:

00:58:50,559 --> 00:58:53,289

But Amy, she's a California girl, so

:

00:58:53,589 --> 00:58:54,249

Carissa: ain't no probing.

:

00:58:54,309 --> 00:58:56,649

Peter: They must have loved it,

but she doesn't sing like that.

:

00:58:56,979 --> 00:58:57,399

Yeah.

:

00:58:57,494 --> 00:59:00,894

The Indian summer thing

what is it Thinking of you?

:

00:59:00,954 --> 00:59:02,034

That's the name of the song.

:

00:59:02,814 --> 00:59:03,564

I don't remember.

:

00:59:03,564 --> 00:59:05,784

We heard so many of her songs growing up.

:

00:59:06,534 --> 00:59:07,554

Shaun: I think that's what it was.

:

00:59:07,614 --> 00:59:08,634

Carissa: Firework, right?

:

00:59:08,664 --> 00:59:08,934

Yeah.

:

00:59:09,144 --> 00:59:10,909

Peter: No, that wasn't

the one where she started.

:

00:59:10,909 --> 00:59:15,369

You're liking an Indian summer

in, I think it's thinking of you.

:

00:59:15,574 --> 00:59:16,826

Oh, I can't remember.

:

00:59:16,831 --> 00:59:17,064

Think.

:

00:59:17,124 --> 00:59:18,714

Yeah, it has to be thinking of you.

:

00:59:19,674 --> 00:59:21,624

But they like ripped into her.

:

00:59:21,864 --> 00:59:25,164

This is funny though, 'cause this

was Gen Z that was ripping into

:

00:59:25,164 --> 00:59:29,604

her on TikTok and it's like these

are the sounds of us growing up.

:

00:59:30,604 --> 00:59:33,994

I remember Katy Perry was

splashed all over the news every.

:

00:59:34,994 --> 00:59:35,714

Everywhere.

:

00:59:35,714 --> 00:59:39,194

MTV, when we used to watch music

videos before going to school, she

:

00:59:39,194 --> 00:59:40,904

was like, every other music video.

:

00:59:41,034 --> 00:59:42,774

Carissa: They played her

music in the club too.

:

00:59:42,864 --> 00:59:44,154

The gay club, remember?

:

00:59:44,154 --> 00:59:44,514

Yes.

:

00:59:44,574 --> 00:59:46,104

Her first song, her first hit.

:

00:59:46,104 --> 00:59:46,614

I Kiss a Girl.

:

00:59:46,859 --> 00:59:47,149

Yeah.

:

00:59:47,429 --> 00:59:48,749

I Kissed, kissed a Girl, girl.

:

00:59:49,049 --> 00:59:49,989

And I liked it.

:

00:59:50,724 --> 00:59:51,174

Yeah.

:

00:59:51,354 --> 00:59:52,584

I should have known I was gay.

:

00:59:53,584 --> 00:59:55,744

Peter: I think we all knew except me.

:

00:59:55,954 --> 00:59:56,344

Yes.

:

00:59:56,794 --> 00:59:58,264

Before you admitted it, I had no

:

00:59:58,264 --> 00:59:58,564

Carissa: idea.

:

00:59:59,564 --> 01:00:00,794

Peter: Yeah, you're right Peter.

:

01:00:00,794 --> 01:00:01,514

It's thinking of

:

01:00:01,514 --> 01:00:01,574

Shaun: you.

:

01:00:02,429 --> 01:00:03,034

Peter: I just looked it up.

:

01:00:03,569 --> 01:00:07,959

I know my gay Katy Perry thing and I

wish I was not a Katy 'cause I'm not.

:

01:00:07,959 --> 01:00:08,319

Anyway.

:

01:00:08,319 --> 01:00:09,219

I am a gaga.

:

01:00:10,029 --> 01:00:16,189

But anyway, is there anything that

you guys wanna let our listeners know?

:

01:00:17,069 --> 01:00:17,489

Shaun: Yeah.

:

01:00:17,519 --> 01:00:18,419

Vote for us.

:

01:00:18,469 --> 01:00:20,149

For America's favorite couple.

:

01:00:20,719 --> 01:00:22,669

We're currently in third place.

:

01:00:23,359 --> 01:00:23,809

So

:

01:00:24,259 --> 01:00:25,429

Carissa: I'm not part of this couple.

:

01:00:26,429 --> 01:00:27,059

Shaun: Yeah, it's Peter.

:

01:00:27,059 --> 01:00:28,439

It's Peter and I.

:

01:00:28,439 --> 01:00:32,429

But Carissa has been supporting

us and sharing our vote link.

:

01:00:32,439 --> 01:00:34,209

Carissa: And I vote

every day, vote for us.

:

01:00:34,214 --> 01:00:35,769

So you guys know, I don't

know if I told you that,

:

01:00:36,279 --> 01:00:38,559

Shaun: because if we

win, the podcast wins.

:

01:00:38,854 --> 01:00:39,074

Yes.

:

01:00:40,074 --> 01:00:40,164

Carissa: Yes.

:

01:00:40,214 --> 01:00:45,855

Peter: If we, when the podcast turns

into a podcasting studio, yeah.

:

01:00:45,884 --> 01:00:46,514

Yes.

:

01:00:46,514 --> 01:00:47,414

Pretty much.

:

01:00:47,684 --> 01:00:50,714

But yeah I think I don't have anything.

:

01:00:51,374 --> 01:00:51,524

How are you?

:

01:00:51,879 --> 01:00:55,614

Carissa: I do, please stop using chat

GPT to create your fucking workouts.

:

01:00:56,614 --> 01:00:57,574

It's not real.

:

01:00:57,664 --> 01:01:00,034

Shaun: So that goes back to what

I was saying earlier, like I don't

:

01:01:00,034 --> 01:01:03,574

think you can trust AI with everything

because I don't think that you could

:

01:01:03,574 --> 01:01:08,794

trust AI to teach someone how to

work out because only to an extent.

:

01:01:08,854 --> 01:01:12,274

'cause you can't be there to like

fully watch and make sure they're

:

01:01:12,274 --> 01:01:14,314

doing the things in the correct form.

:

01:01:14,359 --> 01:01:15,019

And stuff like that, right?

:

01:01:15,544 --> 01:01:15,769

But not only

:

01:01:15,769 --> 01:01:17,869

Carissa: that, it's not giving

proper rest periods and it's

:

01:01:17,869 --> 01:01:22,159

also not giving you things that

are tailored towards your goals.

:

01:01:22,789 --> 01:01:22,909

Shaun: And

:

01:01:22,909 --> 01:01:24,169

Peter: everyone is so different.

:

01:01:24,229 --> 01:01:24,679

Yes.

:

01:01:24,949 --> 01:01:25,219

It's not

:

01:01:25,219 --> 01:01:26,029

Carissa: individualized.

:

01:01:26,029 --> 01:01:26,629

Essentially.

:

01:01:26,929 --> 01:01:28,729

Peter: You are gonna find

this interesting though.

:

01:01:28,729 --> 01:01:34,379

I do agree with you and I watched a

video today of a fitness influencer,

:

01:01:34,829 --> 01:01:37,619

and he did an entire AI workout.

:

01:01:38,619 --> 01:01:41,949

Did you know that the camera on the

phone, it's actually watching you?

:

01:01:42,699 --> 01:01:42,819

No way.

:

01:01:42,819 --> 01:01:43,599

Your form.

:

01:01:43,689 --> 01:01:44,169

Yeah.

:

01:01:44,229 --> 01:01:44,859

Really?

:

01:01:44,979 --> 01:01:46,089

And they're like, that's impressive.

:

01:01:46,179 --> 01:01:47,649

Your form is great.

:

01:01:47,799 --> 01:01:51,309

Or you change your elbow to this

position, or something like that.

:

01:01:51,309 --> 01:01:53,439

And he's like, how do you

know what I look like?

:

01:01:53,439 --> 01:01:57,289

They go when you ask the question,

I have access to your camera.

:

01:01:58,289 --> 01:01:58,589

Carissa: Okay.

:

01:01:58,589 --> 01:01:59,909

I don't like that at all.

:

01:02:00,239 --> 01:02:01,469

That's so crazy.

:

01:02:01,469 --> 01:02:02,519

That's creepy.

:

01:02:02,729 --> 01:02:06,269

Peter: But he did say that it

doesn't account for a lot of

:

01:02:06,269 --> 01:02:08,609

things, like you said, so Right.

:

01:02:09,329 --> 01:02:12,599

But he said that like the first

half of the workout was great.

:

01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:17,049

Shaun: I'm sure that it can

be very useful, but it doesn't

:

01:02:17,049 --> 01:02:18,244

fully account for everything.

:

01:02:18,654 --> 01:02:22,614

You just, you've gotta know

where its limitations are,

:

01:02:22,913 --> 01:02:23,364

Carissa: right?

:

01:02:23,634 --> 01:02:24,054

Shaun: Yeah.

:

01:02:24,384 --> 01:02:27,354

Carissa: There's only, yeah, there's

only so much that it can do because

:

01:02:27,404 --> 01:02:31,514

for me I'm gonna spiral a little bit,

but for me, when you, when I do a

:

01:02:31,514 --> 01:02:35,754

consultation with somebody, I have to

find out, injuries and things like that.

:

01:02:35,754 --> 01:02:37,104

Chacha PT can't do that,

:

01:02:37,584 --> 01:02:38,004

Peter: right?

:

01:02:38,994 --> 01:02:40,029

It'd be amazing if it could.

:

01:02:40,464 --> 01:02:41,304

Carissa: Now it might, it might

:

01:02:41,934 --> 01:02:45,234

Shaun: eventually, it can do, take a

picture, some of those things to an

:

01:02:45,234 --> 01:02:49,224

extent, like when I ask it for certain

things, it will ask me questions if

:

01:02:49,224 --> 01:02:50,574

it doesn't have enough information.

:

01:02:50,904 --> 01:02:55,224

But it can never fully accommodate

for everything that necessarily needs

:

01:02:55,224 --> 01:02:58,834

to be considered because it's always

gonna do the most logical thing

:

01:02:59,284 --> 01:03:02,614

before it does the most human thing.

:

01:03:03,484 --> 01:03:03,904

Peter: Yeah.

:

01:03:04,334 --> 01:03:06,284

It's not human, so you can't Yeah.

:

01:03:07,244 --> 01:03:08,324

Not yet anyway.

:

01:03:08,564 --> 01:03:10,604

But that is well on its way.

:

01:03:10,604 --> 01:03:15,264

Did you see the whole, did you

hear, see the whole Musk their

:

01:03:15,954 --> 01:03:17,784

robots that they released?

:

01:03:18,409 --> 01:03:18,834

No, no.

:

01:03:19,254 --> 01:03:20,154

I hate that man.

:

01:03:20,454 --> 01:03:21,714

Yeah, apparently Kim, she's getting worse.

:

01:03:21,804 --> 01:03:23,874

Got one of them who got one of 'em.

:

01:03:23,874 --> 01:03:24,834

Kim Kardashian

:

01:03:25,104 --> 01:03:25,644

Carissa: course she did.

:

01:03:26,434 --> 01:03:31,494

Peter: So she got one of them and it wa

it's I don't know how to describe it.

:

01:03:31,494 --> 01:03:32,514

You're gonna have to look it up.

:

01:03:32,934 --> 01:03:34,734

Everyone at home, you're

gonna have to Google this.

:

01:03:34,764 --> 01:03:38,424

It's like a silver robot,

essentially a Tesla makes them.

:

01:03:39,124 --> 01:03:41,434

And I don't know.

:

01:03:41,434 --> 01:03:42,574

I don't know how to describe it.

:

01:03:42,574 --> 01:03:43,504

It's crazy.

:

01:03:43,534 --> 01:03:49,144

But it has the technology to do

like tasks and stuff for you.

:

01:03:49,474 --> 01:03:50,704

Oh yeah.

:

01:03:50,704 --> 01:03:51,784

It looks humanoid.

:

01:03:51,784 --> 01:03:52,384

It's weird.

:

01:03:52,444 --> 01:03:54,634

It looks like Tron.

:

01:03:55,294 --> 01:03:56,734

Yes, yes, yes.

:

01:03:57,663 --> 01:03:58,384

Carissa: They're called.

:

01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:01,489

Optimist, also known as Tesla Bot.

:

01:04:02,149 --> 01:04:02,689

Shaun: Yes.

:

01:04:02,749 --> 01:04:03,109

Yep.

:

01:04:03,319 --> 01:04:03,829

I don't like it.

:

01:04:04,699 --> 01:04:09,169

Carissa: It's designed to be a general

purpose, robotic assistant, potentially

:

01:04:09,169 --> 01:04:13,729

performing tasks considered dangerous,

repetitive, oh, or boring for humans.

:

01:04:14,029 --> 01:04:14,209

Peter: Mm-hmm.

:

01:04:14,929 --> 01:04:15,109

Oh no.

:

01:04:15,769 --> 01:04:17,479

Carissa: I can do the

dishes and vacuum my home.

:

01:04:17,629 --> 01:04:20,359

Peter: What the fuck does it

need to do for Kim Kardashian?

:

01:04:20,899 --> 01:04:21,259

This.

:

01:04:22,259 --> 01:04:22,739

Yoga.

:

01:04:23,739 --> 01:04:27,609

I'm pretty sure she has

that covered for this.

:

01:04:28,449 --> 01:04:30,009

A full kick to the throat.

:

01:04:30,219 --> 01:04:30,669

Oh, great.

:

01:04:30,669 --> 01:04:31,089

So why does

:

01:04:31,089 --> 01:04:32,199

Carissa: it walk like that?

:

01:04:32,709 --> 01:04:32,979

Peter: Oh,

:

01:04:33,069 --> 01:04:34,324

Carissa: did you see

the video of it walking?

:

01:04:34,474 --> 01:04:34,964

Look at this.

:

01:04:35,109 --> 01:04:35,288

Oh yeah.

:

01:04:35,589 --> 01:04:36,429

Peter: It's crazy.

:

01:04:36,819 --> 01:04:38,589

Carissa: It looks fucking psychotic.

:

01:04:38,949 --> 01:04:39,099

Oh

:

01:04:39,099 --> 01:04:39,549

Peter: my God.

:

01:04:39,609 --> 01:04:40,779

Yeah, it like marches.

:

01:04:40,929 --> 01:04:42,759

It looks like something

out of silent Hill.

:

01:05:03,296 --> 01:05:05,576

But the fact that it can stand upright.

:

01:05:06,101 --> 01:05:08,081

Should tell you they're very close.

:

01:05:08,781 --> 01:05:09,921

Carissa: That's just like that movie.

:

01:05:09,921 --> 01:05:11,361

It's exactly what you were saying.

:

01:05:12,361 --> 01:05:12,571

Shaun: Wait.

:

01:05:12,571 --> 01:05:13,411

They have female movie with

:

01:05:13,411 --> 01:05:14,101

Carissa: Will Smith.

:

01:05:14,131 --> 01:05:16,831

Shaun: They have female

versions and male versions.

:

01:05:17,611 --> 01:05:18,751

Carissa: Oh, Jesus Christ and Robot

:

01:05:18,751 --> 01:05:19,531

Shaun: Cone Boobs.

:

01:05:20,341 --> 01:05:20,956

Carissa: That's what I was gonna say.

:

01:05:21,286 --> 01:05:21,996

Robot pen.

:

01:05:22,626 --> 01:05:23,596

This is very strange.

:

01:05:23,816 --> 01:05:24,276

Peter: How do you tell.

:

01:05:25,276 --> 01:05:26,506

They're all wearing underwear.

:

01:05:26,716 --> 01:05:28,276

They look the same to me.

:

01:05:28,576 --> 01:05:29,566

Carissa: They look the same to me.

:

01:05:30,346 --> 01:05:31,336

They're non-binary.

:

01:05:31,336 --> 01:05:31,606

Okay.

:

01:05:32,206 --> 01:05:33,106

Peter: Just gotta touch binary.

:

01:05:33,106 --> 01:05:33,586

That works.

:

01:05:33,586 --> 01:05:37,336

Whatever, when you touch it,

sensitive areas, that's how you know,

:

01:05:37,456 --> 01:05:38,716

Carissa: don't touch, it's no square.

:

01:05:39,716 --> 01:05:41,966

Peter: So do you have anything

else before we wrap up?

:

01:05:42,966 --> 01:05:44,316

Carissa: No, no.

:

01:05:44,316 --> 01:05:45,906

We went on another tangent here.

:

01:05:46,906 --> 01:05:49,306

Peter: So we just spent an

hour calling ourselves out and

:

01:05:49,306 --> 01:05:51,046

somehow felt better about it.

:

01:05:51,416 --> 01:05:52,226

I don't know about you.

:

01:05:53,226 --> 01:05:53,856

I feel better.

:

01:05:54,336 --> 01:05:55,056

I do.

:

01:05:55,926 --> 01:06:00,216

If you're ha having a small

existential crisis about your

:

01:06:00,216 --> 01:06:03,276

expensive wellness addiction right

now, you weren't paying attention.

:

01:06:04,126 --> 01:06:07,906

Look, you're not broken for buying

the face mask while the world burns.

:

01:06:07,966 --> 01:06:08,656

You're human.

:

01:06:08,926 --> 01:06:10,756

The system is fucked, not you.

:

01:06:11,701 --> 01:06:15,481

They want us to think that we can

have an individual solution or a

:

01:06:15,481 --> 01:06:17,371

way out of our collective problems.

:

01:06:18,371 --> 01:06:22,091

So keep doing your skincare routine,

but also check on your neighbors

:

01:06:22,331 --> 01:06:24,641

vote in local elections, show up.

:

01:06:25,271 --> 01:06:28,181

The most radical thing you

can do is build community.

:

01:06:28,931 --> 01:06:32,141

So while we're living through the

great unraveling, but we're doing

:

01:06:32,141 --> 01:06:35,711

it together, the most beautiful

form of resistance there is.

:

01:06:36,711 --> 01:06:39,231

I'm Peter with Carissa and Sean.

:

01:06:39,321 --> 01:06:42,501

Thanks for spiraling with us

through the Apocalypse and

:

01:06:42,501 --> 01:06:45,291

Avocados 30th official episode.

:

01:06:45,831 --> 01:06:47,601

Keep it chaotic, keep it real.

:

01:06:47,601 --> 01:06:51,171

And remember, we're all just

trying to survive July,:

:

01:06:51,411 --> 01:06:53,721

with decent skin and some sanity.

:

01:06:54,201 --> 01:06:57,681

Stay hydrated, stay angry,

and we'll see you next week.

:

01:06:58,681 --> 01:07:00,491

Shaun: Bye bye.
