00:01:24   maybe maybe we'll find out how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/84">TS</a>]

00:01:26   far-reaching are our podcast cones two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/86">TS</a>]

00:01:29   years goes by so we've done this show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/89">TS</a>]

00:01:31   for like two years now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/91">TS</a>]

00:01:32   that's right that's right if we had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/92">TS</a>]

00:01:34   started two years ago maybe I'd be I'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/94">TS</a>]

00:01:36   be rounding out my campaign right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/96">TS</a>]

00:01:38   yeah I had a political meeting today one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/98">TS</a>]

00:01:40   of my meetings was political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/100">TS</a>]

00:01:42   I i would love to hear about I i will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/102">TS</a>]

00:01:46   tell you privately i'll cut all this out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/106">TS</a>]

00:01:48   I worry privately that when you are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/108">TS</a>]

00:01:51   you're you're moving amongst certain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/111">TS</a>]

00:01:53   corridors of power right now and I worry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/113">TS</a>]

00:01:54   a little bit that you're saying too much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/114">TS</a>]

00:01:55   are you okay with everything you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/115">TS</a>]

00:01:57   saying well this is the thing I i have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/117">TS</a>]

00:01:59   increasingly been i've been having a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/119">TS</a>]

00:02:01   of discussions with people and they keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/121">TS</a>]

00:02:03   saying like well I mean you know you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/123">TS</a>]

00:02:07   certainly a certainly in the running for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/127">TS</a>]

00:02:09   this or that sort of if not elected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/129">TS</a>]

00:02:12   job then like politically appointed job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/132">TS</a>]

00:02:15   you could I could be higher right now in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/135">TS</a>]

00:02:17   other words in a in a job in a political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/137">TS</a>]

00:02:22   job eat you could be the recipient of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/142">TS</a>]

00:02:25   some political largesse some largest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/145">TS</a>]

00:02:28   that's right i could I could be a member [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/148">TS</a>]

00:02:30   i could get some patronage some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/150">TS</a>]

00:02:32   political patronage sweet but it but in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/152">TS</a>]

00:02:35   increasingly it has forced me just like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/155">TS</a>]

00:02:37   all this involvement in politics the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/157">TS</a>]

00:02:38   last year has forced me to clarify my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/158">TS</a>]

00:02:41   feelings and this is the strange thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/161">TS</a>]

00:02:43   because you know you want it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/163">TS</a>]

00:02:45   we always say to one another like we'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/165">TS</a>]

00:02:47   just decide what you want to do it like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/167">TS</a>]

00:02:49   why don't you just tell me what you want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/169">TS</a>]

00:02:51   that is a very common thing that we say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   and we and we direct that energy at that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/173">TS</a>]

00:02:55   kids and teenagers to like what do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/175">TS</a>]

00:02:57   want to do with your life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/177">TS</a>]

00:02:59   just just pick the thing you want to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/179">TS</a>]

00:03:01   it and and the actual fact is that a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/181">TS</a>]

00:03:04   very small number of us know what the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/184">TS</a>]

00:03:06   fuck we want and the I think the vast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/186">TS</a>]

00:03:09   majority of us have no idea what we like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/189">TS</a>]

00:03:12   even let alone we barely barely know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/192">TS</a>]

00:03:15   what we think we want exactly and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/195">TS</a>]

00:03:18   whole really like we have like a 8 a 5 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/198">TS</a>]

00:03:20   10 or perhaps thirty-five-year-old idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/200">TS</a>]

00:03:23   of what we wanted to and that we dare [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/203">TS</a>]

00:03:25   not actually financially update that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/205">TS</a>]

00:03:28   were terrified to update to even open [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/208">TS</a>]

00:03:30   the closet door and look at our idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/210">TS</a>]

00:03:33   what we think we want and that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/213">TS</a>]

00:03:35   real you know the more I think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/215">TS</a>]

00:03:36   that's the reason that there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/216">TS</a>]

00:03:38   newspapers and websites I mean all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/218">TS</a>]

00:03:41   people telling us what we want our but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/221">TS</a>]

00:03:45   the reason we go to those things is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/225">TS</a>]

00:03:47   we're trying to finally read something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/227">TS</a>]

00:03:50   that explains to us what we want and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/230">TS</a>]

00:03:52   then I realize all those people writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/232">TS</a>]

00:03:55   about writing like these articles about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/235">TS</a>]

00:03:58   what it is we should want or what is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/238">TS</a>]

00:04:00   that that they think we should want they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/240">TS</a>]

00:04:03   don't know what they want either they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/243">TS</a>]

00:04:05   just churning out this you know like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/245">TS</a>]

00:04:07   here's the new thing here's the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/247">TS</a>]

00:04:08   like is this what you want is this what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/248">TS</a>]

00:04:10   you want and it's all people just trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/250">TS</a>]

00:04:12   to decide for themselves what they want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/252">TS</a>]

00:04:14   nobody has the first idea so i'm looking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/254">TS</a>]

00:04:18   at all of these I so as I got as i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/258">TS</a>]

00:04:21   waited into politics and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/261">TS</a>]

00:04:23   confronted with these questions like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/263">TS</a>]

00:04:25   well our are you going to go with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/265">TS</a>]

00:04:28   guy that you said you were gonna go with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/268">TS</a>]

00:04:29   who is going to lose or are you gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/269">TS</a>]

00:04:31   step into the winner's circle and go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/271">TS</a>]

00:04:33   with the guy that you don't know that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/273">TS</a>]

00:04:35   gonna win and I was like what do i want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/275">TS</a>]

00:04:38   i feel now I feel bad I felt good a week [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/278">TS</a>]

00:04:41   ago when when everybody who seem to want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/281">TS</a>]

00:04:44   me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/284">TS</a>]

00:04:45   but now that i have to make a choice now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/285">TS</a>]

00:04:47   I feel bad again and as as these options [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/287">TS</a>]

00:04:51   keep piling up and his people are like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/291">TS</a>]

00:04:53   well you know mr. man that you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/293">TS</a>]

00:04:55   mystery guy in charge was talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/295">TS</a>]

00:04:57   you the other day and he's thinking that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/297">TS</a>]

00:04:58   you might have an appetizer I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/298">TS</a>]

00:05:02   realizing that whatever it is I have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/302">TS</a>]

00:05:05   spent my life building it is a thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/305">TS</a>]

00:05:09   that I have built precisely so that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/309">TS</a>]

00:05:12   would never sell it to somebody for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/312">TS</a>]

00:05:15   security or power even power right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/315">TS</a>]

00:05:20   i do not want to take a job I don't care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/320">TS</a>]

00:05:23   what job is I don't want someone to give [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/323">TS</a>]

00:05:27   me a job if I wanted someone to give me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/327">TS</a>]

00:05:29   a job I could have spent the last 20 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/329">TS</a>]

00:05:32   years training myself to be given a job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/332">TS</a>]

00:05:35   and instead i have spent that 20 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/335">TS</a>]

00:05:39   training myself to never ever ever work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/339">TS</a>]

00:05:42   for somebody or be given anything and as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/342">TS</a>]

00:05:48   I as I'm sort of cuddling up to these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/348">TS</a>]

00:05:50   people and they're cuddling up to me the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/350">TS</a>]

00:05:52   reason that they're cuddling up to me is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/352">TS</a>]

00:05:54   that I clearly like I have something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/354">TS</a>]

00:05:56   interesting that they want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/356">TS</a>]

00:05:58   a piece up and i don't know i don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/358">TS</a>]

00:06:01   think it is so much that i have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/361">TS</a>]

00:06:04   constituency because that's unclear to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/364">TS</a>]

00:06:07   everybody what that is I mean the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/367">TS</a>]

00:06:08   thing they want to know it's like how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/368">TS</a>]

00:06:10   many how many people do you have that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/370">TS</a>]

00:06:14   would follow you into the breach and I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/374">TS</a>]

00:06:17   like anywhere between for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/377">TS</a>]

00:06:20   they put a look and I want to see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/380">TS</a>]

00:06:21   camp the night before haha i think is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/381">TS</a>]

00:06:26   pretty cool what are you holding up your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/386">TS</a>]

00:06:31   finger is a fake mustache but i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/391">TS</a>]

00:06:35   this battle is gonna go pretty great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/395">TS</a>]

00:06:36   don't you don't you guys hear the odds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/396">TS</a>]

00:06:38   are on our side for engine court but but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/398">TS</a>]

00:06:41   but but but a rather what they want is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/401">TS</a>]

00:06:47   you know I i think what interests these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/407">TS</a>]

00:06:50   politicians is is exactly the thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/410">TS</a>]

00:06:53   I have been that I've been working on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/413">TS</a>]

00:06:55   which is a all that I have a voice and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/415">TS</a>]

00:07:00   the second i took a job would be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/420">TS</a>]

00:07:04   beginning of a process of trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/424">TS</a>]

00:07:07   quiet and tame my voice and if if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/427">TS</a>]

00:07:13   somebody in in politics wants to give me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/433">TS</a>]

00:07:16   a job as their community outreach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/436">TS</a>]

00:07:18   liaison or their rock and roll a you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/438">TS</a>]

00:07:23   representative or whatever it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/443">TS</a>]

00:07:25   immediately there would be somebody said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/445">TS</a>]

00:07:28   well listen i gotta tone down the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/448">TS</a>]

00:07:32   supertrain talk because it's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/452">TS</a>]

00:10:41   corral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/641">TS</a>]

00:10:44   somebody there but I got a I got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/644">TS</a>]

00:10:49   strong feeling on this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/649">TS</a>]

00:10:51   yeah and it's I i have to essentially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/651">TS</a>]

00:10:56   this is kind of right in your wheelhouse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/656">TS</a>]

00:10:58   of loss really in my wheelhouse we talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/658">TS</a>]

00:11:01   about the work stuff i mean i realize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/661">TS</a>]

00:11:03   like how much i don't i don't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/663">TS</a>]

00:11:06   working for other people not gonna put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/666">TS</a>]

00:11:09   this here's a big pattern a big pattern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/669">TS</a>]

00:11:11   is that when somebody gives you what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/671">TS</a>]

00:11:13   appears to be power or gives you what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/673">TS</a>]

00:11:14   appears to be largesse or you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/674">TS</a>]

00:11:17   anything that feels better than what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/677">TS</a>]

00:11:19   you've got there figuring out the least [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/679">TS</a>]

00:11:21   amount of effort including money [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/681">TS</a>]

00:11:23   including power including you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/683">TS</a>]

00:11:25   square footage the least amount of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/685">TS</a>]

00:11:27   anything possible to keep you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/687">TS</a>]

00:11:28   neutralized and then we'll be gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/688">TS</a>]

00:11:31   normative but I mean that in the true [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/691">TS</a>]

00:11:32   sense of the word they want to they want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/692">TS</a>]

00:11:34   to figure out how to something you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/694">TS</a>]

00:11:37   still be valuable but think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/697">TS</a>]

00:11:38   like a chessboard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/698">TS</a>]

00:11:40   I mean you know or think about in terms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/700">TS</a>]

00:11:41   of like companies and the kinds of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/701">TS</a>]

00:11:42   acquisitions that they do a lot of times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/702">TS</a>]

00:11:44   they'll require a company just so nobody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/704">TS</a>]

00:11:46   else can just Angela vol the party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/706">TS</a>]

00:11:49   exactly exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/709">TS</a>]

00:11:50   so I see this is relationships to it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/710">TS</a>]

00:11:52   always a good question of like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/712">TS</a>]

00:11:55   cannot cede power to someone else [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/715">TS</a>]

00:11:58   yea even within even in a couple's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   relationship you cannot say like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/720">TS</a>]

00:12:02   hereby give you the power to have me be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/722">TS</a>]

00:12:07   in love with you like you you know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/727">TS</a>]

00:12:10   I mean you eat you can get any power [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   that you seed to somebody else that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/732">TS</a>]

00:12:14   retain well nobody gives anybody enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/734">TS</a>]

00:12:17   power that they could choose to unseat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/737">TS</a>]

00:12:19   them right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/739">TS</a>]

00:12:20   that's one way to look at it so you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/740">TS</a>]

00:12:22   I'm trying to sound cynical about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/742">TS</a>]

00:12:25   but it's one reason i have not looked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/745">TS</a>]

00:12:27   forward to going and having a job with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/747">TS</a>]

00:12:28   somebody because the job is a way of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/748">TS</a>]

00:12:30   saying like here's somebody who has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/750">TS</a>]

00:12:32   certain amount of value to me and I need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/752">TS</a>]

00:12:34   to give them just enough of something or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/754">TS</a>]

00:12:36   some things to make it make them need me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/756">TS</a>]

00:12:39   in some ways and so they want to say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/759">TS</a>]

00:12:42   neutralize I I you know I you know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/762">TS</a>]

00:12:45   you don't want to give you know so i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/765">TS</a>]

00:12:50   don't know i can't speak to politics but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/770">TS</a>]

00:12:51   just in terms of jobs i mean people will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/771">TS</a>]

00:12:53   sell you just these big dreams about how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/773">TS</a>]

00:14:24   lot of is about neutralizing people or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/864">TS</a>]

00:14:27   introducing a fear that they would never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/867">TS</a>]

00:14:40   it is that you are offered the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/880">TS</a>]

00:14:41   opportunity to help in a way that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/881">TS</a>]

00:14:45   substantive like all the stuff that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/885">TS</a>]

00:14:49   sit around arguing with all the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/889">TS</a>]

00:14:51   like how do we deal with the homeless [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/891">TS</a>]

00:14:53   problem the homeless problem is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/893">TS</a>]

00:14:56   problem and we can we have the we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/896">TS</a>]

00:15:00   the benefit of historical you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/900">TS</a>]

00:15:02   retrospective insight to say like wow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/902">TS</a>]

00:15:05   that whole decision to close the asylums [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/905">TS</a>]

00:15:07   in 1970 who was ultimately like not a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/907">TS</a>]

00:15:12   not very well thought out like maybe the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/912">TS</a>]

00:15:14   Cylons were ripe with the abuse maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/914">TS</a>]

00:15:16   they were terrible environments but we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/916">TS</a>]

00:15:18   didn't really think what would happen to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/918">TS</a>]

00:15:19   those people and the rest of us are in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/919">TS</a>]

00:15:25   position of what writing angry letters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/925">TS</a>]

00:15:27   to the editor or getting or maybe like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/927">TS</a>]

00:15:30   going to public meetings and inch and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/930">TS</a>]

00:15:32   banging our shoe on the table but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/932">TS</a>]

00:15:35   reality is that the homeless problem in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/935">TS</a>]

00:15:37   san francisco in seattle like massively [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/937">TS</a>]

00:15:39   affect the quality of life in the city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/939">TS</a>]

00:15:41   it's a massive undertaking to solve it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/941">TS</a>]

00:15:44   but some of these people bet that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/944">TS</a>]

00:15:47   offering me like another there has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/947">TS</a>]

00:15:51   no offer but like cultivating me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/951">TS</a>]

00:15:53   grooming you grooming me they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/953">TS</a>]

00:15:57   actually in a position and not just in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/957">TS</a>]

00:15:59   position from the standpoint of like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   am in the position of power but they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/961">TS</a>]

00:16:03   interested in a solution to the homeless [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/963">TS</a>]

00:16:06   problem they are interested in it for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/966">TS</a>]

00:16:08   the right reasons and they have worked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/968">TS</a>]

00:16:12   their lives to put themselves into a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/972">TS</a>]

00:16:13   position where they actually have a shot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/973">TS</a>]

00:16:15   at trying something new and and the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/975">TS</a>]

00:16:18   is true of the schools and the same is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/978">TS</a>]

00:16:21   true of the of the public transit you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/981">TS</a>]

00:16:24   know they are not they are not in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/984">TS</a>]

00:16:26   politics exclusively for cynical reasons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/986">TS</a>]

00:16:30   they are they actually are interested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/990">TS</a>]

00:16:32   these things as i am interested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/992">TS</a>]

00:16:34   making a huge difference as i am and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/994">TS</a>]

00:16:36   they actually are in a position to do it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/996">TS</a>]

00:16:39   and they could the question for me is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/999">TS</a>]

00:16:41   like that mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:41   oh at lunch today I spent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:44   an hour-and-a-half talking to a guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1004">TS</a>]

00:16:57   have were carrying on a casual friendly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:58   conversation and yet he is ultimately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1018">TS</a>]

00:17:01   like the person who is in charge of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1021">TS</a>]

00:17:05   and I'm like wow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:08   uh this is extraordinary both in terms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1028">TS</a>]

00:17:12   of access but also in truth in terms of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:14   opportunity because he knows he's super [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:19   smart guy and knows that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:27   have to just get it you have to get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1047">TS</a>]

00:17:29   ball down the field through that I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1049">TS</a>]

00:17:33   have to get down the field and through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:35   the goalposts amazing question from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   their market if you have a test match up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:43   star homelessness is like a cricket [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:45   match homelessness is more of a scrum [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   but you throw one guy up in the air and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:50   a rubber buttons you have to run [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:53   backwards holding a ball that is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:56   shaped like a ball so some fresh ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1076">TS</a>]

00:18:00   so the appeal of it that is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:03   tremendous appeal that it that that like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:05   when I think cynically I call power but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:10   the reality is that it that that it that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:13   these that the the people who are best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:24   I'm not looking bored and the ones that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1104">TS</a>]

00:18:27   are brilliant at it are good at getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:29   20 people to agree about something and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:31   then they share the credit in such a way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:34   that nobody remembers whose idea was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1114">TS</a>]

00:18:36   everybody feels like it was their idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:39   kinda and-and-and where IM recognizing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1119">TS</a>]

00:19:02   people are you know they do it in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1142">TS</a>]

00:19:04   jiu-jitsu we're just like i don't i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1144">TS</a>]

00:19:06   don't even remember that his hand on my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:08   wallet but but now I'm like the kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1148">TS</a>]

00:19:11   being ushered out of the room honor on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1151">TS</a>]

00:19:13   floating carpet once and it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:16   you're dancing around this but I'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:18   trying to say that politics is a con [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:20   but-but-but-but con a con in general [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1160">TS</a>]

00:19:22   there are cons in every aspect of our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:23   life to make something effective in my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1163">TS</a>]

00:19:25   house it helps a lot to make it seem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:27   like it was my idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1167">TS</a>]

00:19:28   oh that's dying you know the way that a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1168">TS</a>]

00:19:30   con works is it's a confidence game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:32   that's what a con is if you ask maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1172">TS</a>]

00:19:35   something as a favor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1175">TS</a>]

00:19:36   they're much more likely to do it for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:37   you because now they actually trust you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:39   more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:39   where the end if well and I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:42   think we are we have come from an era [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1182">TS</a>]

00:19:45   like politics and and government when we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1185">TS</a>]

00:19:50   were kids was still a business of being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1190">TS</a>]

00:19:54   in a in a room with a bunch of people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:56   who were trying to match each other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1196">TS</a>]

00:20:00   highball glass to highball glass and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1200">TS</a>]

00:20:03   that that small group of men white men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1203">TS</a>]

00:20:07   all knew where one another's bodies were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1207">TS</a>]

00:20:10   buried and that was the trust that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1210">TS</a>]

00:20:13   enabled them to get business time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1213">TS</a>]

00:20:17   because it was like oh yeah the judge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:19   you know the judge i happen to know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1219">TS</a>]

00:20:22   the judge likes little boys and so the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:26   judge knows i know and i'm going to try [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1226">TS</a>]

00:20:28   and get his approval on this you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:31   this project we're going to tear down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1231">TS</a>]

00:20:32   the old folks home and build an oil well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1232">TS</a>]

00:20:35   and the judge is gonna sign off on it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1235">TS</a>]

00:20:37   and that's how business gets done in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1237">TS</a>]

00:20:39   America and that's how it was when we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1239">TS</a>]

00:20:41   were kids and there has been a long and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:45   ugly transition but I don't think that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1245">TS</a>]

00:20:50   how government gets done anymore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1250">TS</a>]

00:20:52   certainly local governments Seattle San [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1252">TS</a>]

00:20:57   Francisco like all these cities that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:59   have progressive mayor's who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:01   gradually incremental II kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1261">TS</a>]

00:21:03   changing the way business is done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1263">TS</a>]

00:21:05   it's it's very much less i mean i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1265">TS</a>]

00:21:09   remember going to vitos restaurant with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:11   my dad and him walking down the bar and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1271">TS</a>]

00:21:14   he knew every guy in the place and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1274">TS</a>]

00:21:27   drinking together and that doesn't exist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:28   anymore right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:30   and in place of that there's a lot more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:35   transparent e-everybody everybody is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1295">TS</a>]

00:21:38   just a transparency and ever that down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:41   let's get there's a lot more transparent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:44   but there's also that I mean like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:48   there's also a lot there are a lot fewer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:50   cigarettes there are a lot there's a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1310">TS</a>]

00:21:52   less chronic alcoholism and a lot more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1312">TS</a>]

00:21:55   accountability i guess and i believe I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1315">TS</a>]

00:21:58   starting i'm actually starting to think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1318">TS</a>]

00:22:00   that progressive politics are making are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:04   actually capable of making things it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1324">TS</a>]

00:22:08   hopeful position i just wonder i just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:13   wonder if i have the metal for it you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1333">TS</a>]

00:22:17   definitely have the metal for a certain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:19   kind of place in that I mean it would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:21   really nice it would be really over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:23   simplified to say that that means you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:25   should be an elected official you eat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1345">TS</a>]

00:22:27   you know there are things that you could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:29   do working with elected officials where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1349">TS</a>]

00:22:31   you could do something really amazing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1351">TS</a>]

00:22:33   that really taps into the stuff that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:37   you're really great at what I i like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1357">TS</a>]

00:22:39   your point about their there's all kinds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:41   of things that we just that the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1361">TS</a>]

00:22:43   one that i always think about we talked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1363">TS</a>]

00:22:44   about this before but like think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1364">TS</a>]

00:22:46   all the guys in that room to all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:47   congressmen and the newspaper publisher [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1367">TS</a>]

00:22:50   like there's a pretty good chance they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1370">TS</a>]

00:22:52   were all in the Army at some point to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1372">TS</a>]

00:22:53   you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:54   that's right that's absolutely right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1374">TS</a>]

00:22:57   it's not in world war two Korea or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:59   Vietnam at least they were probably in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1379">TS</a>]

00:23:02   the service i'll bet you a majority of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:04   the people in that notional bar or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:06   meeting or whatever had all been in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:09   service at one point or another which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1389">TS</a>]

00:23:10   sounds might sound silly to to you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1390">TS</a>]

00:23:13   generation facebook but I used to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1393">TS</a>]

00:23:15   really meaningful there's a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1395">TS</a>]

00:23:17   common ground and having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1397">TS</a>]

00:23:18   on through that together and get his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1398">TS</a>]

00:23:20   wards and that kind of stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1400">TS</a>]

00:23:21   it's incredibly true and I mean I can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:24   tell you how many times i have sat at a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1404">TS</a>]

00:23:25   table with those guys while they talked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:28   about the war without talking about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1408">TS</a>]

00:23:30   war they you know they would sit there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:34   and argue and bicker and it would be an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1414">TS</a>]

00:23:39   and I'd be sitting kind of listening and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:41   rolling my eyes and then I would realize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:43   they were talking about the war and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:46   hadn't and I didn't get it you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:48   because they were non demonstrative and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1428">TS</a>]

00:23:50   they weren't actually talking about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:53   war but that is that was the subtext and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:55   the and the and the glue the glue that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1435">TS</a>]

00:24:00   bound them to one another but it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1440">TS</a>]

00:24:02   separated them from their wives and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:04   separated them from everybody else you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1444">TS</a>]

00:24:09   know it was it was it is it is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:12   exclusive club that we as a culture have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1452">TS</a>]

00:24:15   spent 40 years trying to dismantle and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1455">TS</a>]

00:24:19   like like emptying the the asylums we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:24   have dismantled it more or less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1464">TS</a>]

00:24:26   there are still the dick cheney's and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:28   their world and surely they're all kinds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:31   of places in America that are absolutely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   still run by the sons of those guys in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:37   the same method but looking at Seattle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1477">TS</a>]

00:24:40   you cannot say any more that just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1480">TS</a>]

00:24:43   because you are a Nordstrom or even a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1483">TS</a>]

00:24:48   paul allen that you necessarily have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:50   carte blanche because because as a as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:55   culture we have spent 40 years putting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1495">TS</a>]

00:24:56   in place all these boards and all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1496">TS</a>]

00:25:01   referenda and there's you know there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:05   nothing that escapes the attention of of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:10   the of the larger people you know and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1510">TS</a>]

00:25:15   and and for good and out there there was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1515">TS</a>]

00:25:17   an interesting article about the local [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1517">TS</a>]

00:25:19   schools here and end this the the school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1519">TS</a>]

00:25:23   that was the lowest crappiest least [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1523">TS</a>]

00:25:26   performing elementary school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1526">TS</a>]

00:25:28   has just had an incredible bump in their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1528">TS</a>]

00:25:31   test scores in the last year because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:34   they put put in place this renegade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1534">TS</a>]

00:25:36   principal renegade lady principal who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1536">TS</a>]

00:25:41   brought with her the novel idea that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:44   should take the underperforming math [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1544">TS</a>]

00:25:47   students and put them in a different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1547">TS</a>]

00:25:51   group i'm the same classroom but just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1551">TS</a>]

00:25:53   put them together in a group and put the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1553">TS</a>]

00:25:58   high-performing math students together [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1558">TS</a>]

00:26:00   in a different group and that that very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1560">TS</a>]

00:26:05   radical that notion is in is actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1565">TS</a>]

00:26:09   incredibly radical because because at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1569">TS</a>]

00:26:12   education policy over the last 20 plus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1572">TS</a>]

00:26:16   years has been that that dividing of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1576">TS</a>]

00:26:19   students like does not help the the bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:27   students or the underperforming students [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:30   it just excludes them and generally is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1590">TS</a>]

00:26:35   you know ultimately you can make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1595">TS</a>]

00:26:37   correlations between that and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1597">TS</a>]

00:26:39   economics and it turns out those are all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1599">TS</a>]

00:26:41   the poor students and the teachers just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1601">TS</a>]

00:26:43   teaching to the smart students and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1603">TS</a>]

00:26:44   poor students just end up getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:47   flushed out but also must depend a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1607">TS</a>]

00:26:50   on the the somewhat obvious thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:53   gets left out which is that well and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1613">TS</a>]

00:26:55   think that phrase from the simpsons uh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1615">TS</a>]

00:26:57   you know know you're in the brown [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1617">TS</a>]

00:26:58   reading group that you moved in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1618">TS</a>]

00:27:00   brown reading group i think that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1620">TS</a>]

00:27:02   kind of the Greystone over the years has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1622">TS</a>]

00:27:04   been that and you're going to get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1624">TS</a>]

00:27:06   not very good teacher and the not very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:08   good textbooks and a leaky classroom it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1628">TS</a>]

00:27:11   would be nothing to say we're going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1631">TS</a>]

00:27:12   take the kids that aren't doing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:13   create math we're going to put them in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:15   and put them in here with our best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1635">TS</a>]

00:27:16   teacher and they're going to get twenty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1636">TS</a>]

00:27:17   percent more resources than the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1637">TS</a>]

00:27:19   group and I think that's what this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:20   principle is doing a but she's really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1640">TS</a>]

00:27:23   bucking the bucking the trend and there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1643">TS</a>]

00:27:26   are a lot of people who are kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:28   rattling the bars saying separating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:31   students out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:33   is it is you know maybe in a specific [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:37   instance is fine but in the general in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   general it is a it is non progressive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:42   education policy and one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1662">TS</a>]

00:27:45   interesting things that they quoted this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1665">TS</a>]

00:27:47   article is that there was this kid who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1667">TS</a>]

00:27:51   quite naturally when you think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1671">TS</a>]

00:27:54   thought that one-sixth was more than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:58   one-fifth like that makes sense right if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1678">TS</a>]

00:28:02   you have noticed is if no one has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1682">TS</a>]

00:28:04   explained to you the concept very well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1684">TS</a>]

00:28:06   you would naturally think 16 was more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:08   than 150 and then just as much as like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1688">TS</a>]

00:28:10   point nine sounds like more than one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1690">TS</a>]

00:28:11   right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:13   if you don't get it and so this kid and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:17   obviously he also was probably shy or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1697">TS</a>]

00:28:20   english as a second language or whatever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1700">TS</a>]

00:28:22   so he doesn't ask he doesn't raise his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1702">TS</a>]

00:28:24   hand and ask the question he doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:25   want to feel done so he's sitting in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1705">TS</a>]

00:28:28   class trying to digest all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:30   concepts based on not understanding the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:34   fundament of it and across the room [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1714">TS</a>]

00:28:36   you've got a kid like me who wanted the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1716">TS</a>]

00:28:41   teacher to just shut up please and let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:43   me have the book and if you you know if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1723">TS</a>]

00:28:44   they had on the first day of fifth grade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1724">TS</a>]

00:31:06   people are still there it's it is so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1866">TS</a>]

00:31:10   much more complicated than anybody can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1870">TS</a>]

00:31:11   even begin to imagine and it's hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1871">TS</a>]

00:31:14   even have that discussion with somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/1874">TS</a>]

01:01:42   this pain-in-the-ass that was my dad and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3702">TS</a>]

01:01:46   little but you know where we were there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3706">TS</a>]

01:01:48   all afternoon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3708">TS</a>]

01:01:49   nobody got up and did it because it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3709">TS</a>]

01:01:50   my job to do it even though I have two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3710">TS</a>]

01:01:52   older brothers and there were 25 people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3712">TS</a>]

01:01:55   there that that probably if you if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3715">TS</a>]

01:02:00   rank them by you know by precedence or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3720">TS</a>]

01:02:06   whatever like but obviously feel like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3726">TS</a>]

01:02:09   should have been your job well obviously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3729">TS</a>]

01:02:11   it was because for what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3731">TS</a>]

01:02:13   ever reason like in that moment it was I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:18   was clearly being recognized as the new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3738">TS</a>]

01:02:21   patriarch and this was the this was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3741">TS</a>]

01:02:25   very weird experience for me at the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3745">TS</a>]

01:02:27   because there are a lot of people in my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3747">TS</a>]

01:02:29   family and a lot of other people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:32   should who were waiting for my dad to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3752">TS</a>]

01:02:35   die basically so that they could be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3755">TS</a>]

01:02:37   old man and the energy in the family and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:42   in the room was that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3762">TS</a>]

01:02:45   Oh in fact that had leapfrogged all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3765">TS</a>]

01:02:49   those people and now it was me and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3769">TS</a>]

01:02:52   like I'm not anywhere close to being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3772">TS</a>]

01:02:54   ready to be the patriarch I'm i am NOT [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3774">TS</a>]

01:02:59   him yet and and yet it was decided it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3779">TS</a>]

01:03:05   was decided unconsciously by the tribe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3785">TS</a>]

01:03:07   and so I just kind of just stood there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3787">TS</a>]

01:03:12   and and you know I talk to every single [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3792">TS</a>]

01:03:15   one of those people but like I didn't I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:18   didn't make the speech and I didn't let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3798">TS</a>]

01:03:20   them make the speech I didn't give them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3800">TS</a>]

01:03:22   a possible permission to make the speech [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3802">TS</a>]

01:03:25   and so we had a we had a lovely party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3805">TS</a>]

01:03:28   for him that was six hours long and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3808">TS</a>]

01:03:30   nobody made a single fucking speech and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3810">TS</a>]

01:03:34   to whatever degree I feel like my dad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3814">TS</a>]

01:03:38   watches over me I feel like he's also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3818">TS</a>]

01:03:41   may be trapped in purgatory until I make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3821">TS</a>]

01:03:45   a goddamn speech about it i think he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3825">TS</a>]

01:03:48   just did until it stand up in some hotel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOWy5ME/3828">TS</a>]
