But the other examples are custard, toothpaste, paint, and blood. So I am, in fact, mostly non Newtonian.

Yes, okay, I'm I'm a big fan. There's an organization called the Free Speech Coalition which fights a lot of court cases against pornography, which are specifically important because typically being able to broadly define anything as pornography as a way of censoring speech, especially queer speech, that is like a huge tactic by the right.

They were at the Supreme Court last month doing one of these age verification fights, So I think that that's an important But yeah, whenever the exactly Jackie said it so perfectly, I haven't heard it said that way.

Don't think that, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that's I'm It's not being said in the mainstream media, but I feel like it has to have been said behind closed doors, like it has to be like the okay, this is the subtext of Project twenty twenty five, right, this is you just can't We need to make people feel empowered about making fun of unhoused people, right, and then also somehow make them okay with us using our men's power to come down on anybody who says anything mean about us, Right, don't don't ever say anything that will even fucking give me a shred of self awareness.

The doubling, the doubling down on I can't believe as like a person who's like a young punk is saying this. But I just like can't believe how the present politic right now is just like a tripling or quadrupling down on fighting kindness. Right, It's so weird to just be like we have the right to be unkind Yeah, fuck off.

As a as a young punk. And I mean that as like an older person calling you a young punk as a young punk, do you feel like we lost some of the battle, half the battle when selling out stopped being a thing that anyone gave a shit about. It was just like, Noah, I get your bag.

I guess I yeah, I mean that feels like I absolutely seriously, it felt like when when it was okay to have like sacred songs and car commercials was really where maybe the plot was.

Lost, right, we stopped being mad at bands for selling out, and now now look at us, look at us. Now, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and there's one guy who's still out here standing up for freeze. Oh no, wait, he's doing the thing that we were just talking about. Jeff Bezos bend your knees, A standoffish? What are he? Low touch owner of the Washington Post. He's just he's not here to make anybody do anything. Yeah, he called himself a hands off owner when he first purchased the Washington Post. He just emailed his staff informing them that the Washington Post opinion section will soon change and focus on the quote support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets.

Cool cool, cool, cool, yeah.

Cool cool, cool, cool, yeah.

So yeah, He did stop short of suggesting that there would be more articles about why baldness is hot and how holding your ar end twelve hour shifts is good for your ab builds at bubles. It's greatore exercise, good core. But it's I think we'll probably get there. He probably didn't need to say those. But these are yeah, personal liberties, you know, which they they will define as like me being able to do whatever the fuck I want as an incredibly wealthy person. Yeah, and free markets. So fucking wow.

He didn't not even subtle about this HyET too. It's like, I mean, I guess you know. That's where people should continue to realize that this corporate media is absolutely an unreliable narrator for anything happening in your life. When they're like, fucking stop talking about this. This this letter goes on quote. We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially when that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad based opinion section that sought to cover all of yous. Today, the Internet does that job.

And the Internet is nailing it. Thank you, the Internet. Yeah, crushing it. No notes, no notes, the Internet. Yeah, I mean I will say I feel like the Washington Post and the New York Times have been not doing a great job for a while now, so like this is not to be like, look what we've lost the you know the I used to go to the Washington Post opinion sections. But it does feel like we're losing something right, Like it feels it feels weird, like I said up top, like just the complete absence of any coherent criticism. It feels a little bit like is this really really happening? You know, like because nobody nobody's like saying it outright. They're not saying like the federal government has fallen to Elon Musk, you know, like when they can't podcasts are saying that, but like the Yeah, the New York Times Washington Post are not saying that.

Yeah, they're still treating it like, oh, look at this curious case of fuckery and DC rather.

Yeah, they're still treating it like, oh, look at this curious case of fuckery and DC rather.

Than they like they'll call it like a management style, which is like such an interesting I mean, it's like it feels almost cliche to talk about like how orwellian some of this stuff is. But yeah, they'll like talk about a literal prolonged coup attempt as like a clash in management style, right, and you're like, what the fuck are we doing?

Hands on? Yes, but yeah, the yeah that in this seven part series, we will use the Myers Briggs test to analyze Trump's uh peccadillos as a manager.

Yeah, yeah, exactly right.

Yeah, yeah, exactly right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean I think this is more just like one of those things you tell like live people in your like the libs in your life to be like, see even Bezel, you can't even trust your your Washington posts now, like they're all in on just basically completely you know, creating manufacturing consent for whatever they're going to do in DC so he can so he can sit on his little coins. I feel like we just don't make fun of Jeff Bezos enough, Like how the fuck is this guy still walking around here in these dumb ass tight silk shirts and shiit looking like a walking midlife crisis, and people just like, you know, looking like.

Lex Luthor, Like yeah, all of these guys are are Lex Luthor, And somehow we're just like physically actually manifesting the role, which is, yeah.

Lex Luthor, Like yeah, all of these guys are are Lex Luthor, And somehow we're just like physically actually manifesting the role, which is, yeah.

You think he like presses out like some fucking chest presses and looks in the mirrors.

You think he like presses out like some fucking chest presses and looks in the mirrors.

Like yeah sex Oh yeah, I'm sex Luthor. Yeah he's seen sex Luthor the screen name. Yeah, that's his American psycho moment. He does like fucking in the mirrors.

Like yeah sex Oh yeah, I'm sex Luthor. Yeah he's seen sex Luthor the screen name. Yeah, that's his American psycho moment. He does like fucking in the mirrors.

Like your sex luthor of Jeff. I bet he fucks so weird. Oh yeah, I don't want it.

Like your sex luthor of Jeff. I bet he fucks so weird. Oh yeah, I don't want it.

Is so interesting, like I do. I've always been a big believer in like the power of films as like the dreams of uh you know, of a society like you, they are manifesting, you know, our culture is manifesting like various things. And it's so weird that yeah, we like, like the Superman myth got so specific, like nailped so many details of this fucking guy. There's just like he's gonna be bald and like weird and probably try and get muscular at some point. Yeah yeah, yea, anyways, not great. Yeah, I don't like it.

I don't like it.

I don't like it.

So that record is we're giving one star out of four.

So that record is we're giving one star out of four.

I don't think, like I'm really like I've been trying because some people listen to what I say for some reason to just like when people feel powerless, like encourage them to do something. And I feel like even small things like subscribing to indie media or like journalists who are doing the real job. I think that that's all great and it's important, and I so strongly encourage it. But even then you think about the fact that like now that reporting is just is to you know, to use it now expires to look and like balkanized. It's like every there's just like little clusters of reporting over here and over here and over here. And the fact that there isn't any reliable place, even though these places weren't even like really reliable in the first place, sort of assembling those narratives in a place where like people are more likely to see them than not. Yeah, yeah, again I don't like it.

Yeah, yeah, again I don't like it.

Not good, Yeah, really, I mean it's it's also I think because a lot of people had for so long put their faith in the big d democratic like version of things and like the mainstream media, and like you know, had spent a lot of faith on that, like this is going to be painful and like further demoralizing to people who were still in that place of being like Joe Biden's gonna get elected. He's he's fine, yeah, Kamala hair. You know all these ends our big institutions.

Not good, Yeah, really, I mean it's it's also I think because a lot of people had for so long put their faith in the big d democratic like version of things and like the mainstream media, and like you know, had spent a lot of faith on that, like this is going to be painful and like further demoralizing to people who were still in that place of being like Joe Biden's gonna get elected. He's he's fine, yeah, Kamala hair. You know all these ends our big institutions.

How you look at it though, But because you could say, for decades the media has failed like the LGBTQ community, people of color, disabled, people like this, they were always doing the ship. But now like as they strike off more and more groups that they're like, well, we're gonna talk about this ship. We're gonn talk about this ship. We're now it's like we're getting up higher where it's like you're.

We're now it's like we're getting up higher where it's like you're.

Not gonna talk about this anymore.

Not gonna talk about this anymore.

Yeah, we're just like they've been whittling away like this kind of coverage to again obscure except for American people. Just how terrible the ills that many of us face are with actual journalism, and those journalists who do it, credit to them because it is happening. But to your point, Alex, it's not happening in a centralized place or a place that's mainstream enough where people can connect the dots, because again.

Yeah, we're just like they've been whittling away like this kind of coverage to again obscure except for American people.

But to your point, Alex, it's not happening in a centralized place or a place that's mainstream enough where people can connect the dots, because again.

We all understand what's at stake here. For people like Jeff Bezos, they don't want people to fully connect.

We all understand what's at stake here. For people like Jeff Bezos, they don't want people to fully connect.

The dots obviously, so it's better to just do this kind of shit and hopefully again that's what I'm saying, Like this is for like probably well to do white liberal people who are still believing like in the Washington Post or New York Times, you're like, y'all come on, now, come on, I.

The dots obviously, so it's better to just do this kind of shit and hopefully again that's what I'm saying, Like this is for like probably well to do white liberal people who are still believing like in the Washington Post or New York Times, you're like, y'all come on, now, come on, I.

Will say, I will say a thing that has changed. Is this happened this morning? Is my mother will text me and she'll be like, I saw this news story. Does this come from a reputable source or I saw I like, I don't I want the Democrats to get in charge. Who should I give money to? Should I give it to like the larger sort of senate organization? Should I give it to directly to people? And she I know that this is not necessarily common, but it is really nice to see someone who's born in the fifties not just like accept the whole thing and go, yeah, I realize that things are changing. I don't know how to act accordingly. Can you like point me in a direction?

Will say, I will say a thing that has changed. Is this happened this morning? Is my mother will text me and she'll be like, I saw this news story.

I don't know how to act accordingly. Can you like point me in a direction?

Yeah, because there is something I think that just does feel in it in your bones? Wrong, yes, And that even then even if you are like a solid boomer who again comes from the air of like but it was on the TV, of course, you know what I mean? And to that point. Yeah, I mean it is, there's I think people again, people are feeling it. But yeah, hopefully more people can really put it all together.

The fraud is so pervasive at every single level. You know, it's like the President is basically their thanks to fraud, and people are you know, our text messages that we get on a daily basis are like fifty percent attempts at fraud, and you know the calls that you get are like fifty percent scam likely mostly your email in box has been taken over.

That's me trying to communicate with you.

That's me trying to communicate with you.

Yeah, all right, I mean, okay, then please stop at talking about exciting business opportunities in every subject.

Yeah, all right, I mean, okay, then please stop at talking about exciting business opportunities in every subject.

Well, Jack, you haven't just so you know, you haven't paid your express Lane toll that you violated in five days now, and I'm just trying to help you out.

Express Lane.

Express Lane.

Yeah, we have been trying to deliver this package for quite some time.

Yeah, we have been trying to deliver this package for quite some time.

That's right. So I feel like it's getting so thoroughly broken that it makes sense to me that more and more people are just going to be like, all right, well now I can't trust fucking anything. I've had to like talk to some elderly family members about like, no, you can't click on that, Like that's actually not helping me clean your phone. That's going to be Yeah, that's why we need to get a new one now.

That's going to be Yeah, that's why we need to get a new one now.

That shit scares me where it's like especially with like deep fake voices that can call with the voice of a family member. I mean it is. I have set up a system with like people I know and love that we like write down and don't text it back and forth. We write down the code word we would say to prove who we are in case we get one of those distressing calls.

That shit scares me where it's like especially with like deep fake voices that can call with the voice of a family member. I mean it is. I have set up a system with like people I know and love that we like write down and don't text it back and forth. We write down the code word we would say to prove who we are in case we get one of those distressing calls.

And what is the code word? Just ye no, I'll I thought I'm going to say, because you're like the code word, which I was like Wheeler Steel.

And what is the code word? Just ye no, I'll I thought I'm going to say, because you're like the code word, which I was like Wheeler Steel.

Yeah, yeah, it is. It is su pervasive that it's like, you know, you're lucky if five percent of your inbound communication is like authentic.

Yeah, yeah, it is. It is su pervasive that it's like, you know, you're lucky if five percent of your inbound communication is like authentic.

Yes exactly. All right, Well, speaking of authentic, I want to go back to a foundational brand in my childhood, that is it's in trouble. Yeah, and for the low price of a cup of coffee, you can help. They should start doing like those you know p s a like ads that tug at your heart straight but for corporation corporate a difficult time. Yeah, but yeah, there's a lot of reporting going on that Tropicana oj is and is headed for tough places funny.

Yes exactly. All right, Well, speaking of authentic, I want to go back to a foundational brand in my childhood, that is it's in trouble. Yeah, and for the low price of a cup of coffee, you can help.

Yeah, but yeah, there's a lot of reporting going on that Tropicana oj is and is headed for tough places funny.

Yeah, yeah, the revenues apparently are falling. Uh. And then recently thei Pai Partners, the European private equity firm that took a controlling ownership stake, like a few long ago years ago, from four years ago, they recently gave them thirty million in emergency and like a thirty million dollar emergency loan to Tropicana. They said, we were like a lender of last resort, so private equity is involved. But from what I can read and find, it seems like they were actually trying to make the brand profitable. They're like, oh, we can turn this brand up because like it's hard to see how it could be cannibalized from the inside when they are trying to throw cash at the problems, Like fuck, fuck, fuck, what the fuck are we doing wrong. It can't just be that orange juice is now so hard to make because of climate change, and also people are much more conscious about sugar intake. Those can't be the things. But for example, like the things again, because you'll always read these things sometimes they'll just blame like, you know, consumers are less interested, and they are they are saying that, But I believe the reasons that they're saying why consumers are less interested, Like the sugar intake, people are much more conscious about like damn, I need to be drinking like a bunch of sugar, like all the time.

I'll have a glass of juice on like the plane, and I'm like, we used to do this all the time.

I'll have a glass of juice on like the plane, and I'm like, we used to do this all the time.

Yeah, all the time.

Well I do. I am in like I'm so sorry I keep talking about me, and but I'm there quite often and like they're juice has fallen off across the juice hath fallen.

We can't announce your juice has fallen, folks. The other thing, though, too, is prices, right, because again, oranges are very hard to harvest. Now, like Hurricane Milton. This is one person who's like the head of the Florida Citrus Mutual Advocacy Hurricane Milton. Oh no, no, Matt Joyner, Hurricane Milton, head of the right said quote, Hurricane Milton came across the center of the state and really impacted probably seventy percent of the most productive citrus acreage in Florida. And then it's not this article in the CNN goes on, it's like, it's not just atmospheric disasters that have devastated the industry. Orange production in the US has declined in recent years due to the spread of citrus greening disease of bacterial infection that cuts off key nutrients to orange trees, which first hit Florida twenty years ago. Add on top of that, Canada is making eyes at Brazil's orange juice market to cut the US out of it over all the tariff shit, and they're like, well, fuck your brother, the Brazilian orange juice is cheaper like metal. Why don't we just skip these fucking weirdos to the south of US, the US, not Brazilians, And now take the Brazilian oj just retaliatory. So this again, this is this all it all comes together. And then the price, the price of orange juice has almost basically like doubled since twenty twenty. And so that now also on top of people being like, damn, do I really want to drink all this shit? And now it's cost four dollars and fifty cents for twelve ounce a twelve ounce bottle of orange juice, like brod, keep be drinking a fucking like malt liquor for cheap water.

Point like my child is not bulking right, Like I just want some shit with like some fucking fiber, Like the fuck, but yeah, I mean again. The other thing that they point to also is that like when you go to like a Smart and Final or like cheaper grocery stores, especially in low income areas, people just aren't fucking with it just at all anymore. And that's a huge hit because something that used to be this like I think when it was cheaper, it was easier, everyone like yeah, fuck, I'll get some orange juice. But now it's it's it's expensive. It's also just too like it's not the healthiest, although that might not be everyone's calculus, it's it's getting a little.

Bit hard for them to peddle that OJ. Still remember, like they they used to be fucking balling. Like I remember there was this like business article I read in the nineties about how like the demand for tropic cana was like shooting through the roof so much that they had to like invent these like silos that were completely vacuum like could there was no air able to get into them, and so they would like take the OJ from like the orange juice factory, put it in a completely air tight truck, take it to these silos that were like completely vacuum sealed, and then like because there was no air there at all, you would not be able to like like they wouldn't go bad. And like that's how they were able to like handle the quantities of orange juice that people were demanding from them. The only side effect of that, and I think this also might be part of the story, The only side effect of that is that when you keep orange juice vacuum sealed away for like three years, it loses all its flavor, and so they had to figure out a way to get the flavor to come back. So they had to like basically create a like orange perfuming tactic that like added the flavor the scent of oranges into this like zombie orange juice that had been that is like years old, but still gets to be called like fresh squeezed because of some fucking you know thing that they lobbied the FDA for. It's just a wild story that I'm sure you know. There's a noticeable drop in quality from like the orange juice that we were getting from Tropic Cannon in the nineties early nineties and that we were sniffing base we were sniffing straight up, y'all would have died.
