tell this really quick story this is this is naughty but tiffan I were on a plane I think back to Portland we were in Chicago or something and they let us it's one of those flights where you pick your own seat so tiffan I it's a three-seater so we she took the outside I took the window and we acted like we were talking in the middle the whole time so as people were filtering in they thought somebody was sitting there or was going to be sitting there and I listen to be honest with you I didn't think it was going to work I thought somebody was like hey can I sit there and which which we would have definitely said of course you're not supposed to tell anyone no I'm trying to help our audience if you don't want somebody sitting next to you but you're flying with somebody else and you're in a three-seater have them on the outside you sit sit next to the window and Crouch you both Crouch over like you're almost going to kiss and you just keep talking and if you do that long enough people think oh like the person who's sitting there is like in the bathroom or something like that so and they just don't want to bother you yeah so they just keep going now again if somebody would have said hey is anybody sitting there we would have said yes of course somebody's sitting here please continue on get the [ __ ] out of here this is this ladies and gentlemen is what this is what we call a life hack this is a life well not anymore cuz now everybody's going to know uh it well I would say like I said I didn't think it was going to work yeah it worked and I was quite happy

episode 2,000 something probably more you can do it in asleep now yeah but uh fantastic and uh let's I think it's probably time to uh get to the news yeah all right all right well here's a little news intro for everybody news news oh it's the the [ __ ] news the [ __ ] news Starts Now news news all right lady knock it enough all right all right Nick what is in the news today all right well consumer prices increased .5% in January the biggest increase in over a year and a half overshooting expectations and serving as a warning sign that President Trump's economic plan might not be as worker and consumer friendly as he indicated on the campaign Trail you don't say in yeah in January costs for shelter food and gasoline Rose and the Consumer Price Index shot up 3% year-over-year with the inflationary impacts of Trump's tariffs still looming on the horizon are we destined for more skyrocketing prices later in 2025 uh the answer is yes I'm going to go with the S yeah I'm GNA go with the S as well gonna happen yep you know uh last night I was in Safeway and and I posted it on Blue Sky a picture of the eggs and the prices that I I I hope people don't think that that was just something I found on the internet I was literally standing in Safeway I looked at the egg prices which we've been so busy with this podcast I we haven't even been shopping the last time I B egg this was like a month and a half ago easily yeah the kids gone we just don't I know you know you know we're empty nesters now so uh but yeah the eggs were 849 at Safeway I was like holy [ __ ] thanks Trump what the [ __ ] you do do you want a little snapshot of where where we are as a country I worry about harping on the egg prices because part of that is due to the culling of chickens you know who are afflicted with bird flu and uh I worry that a trump Administration who is uh super concerned about their image will say hey stop calling those chickens we need the egg Pisces to drop and then we get another bir flu pic you know Jesus Christ that is so dark oh my God Jesus you have a dark mind Nick Jesus I think you need to come back you can't you can't be out there by yourself it's it's 2025 baby you know and the truth is is Nick is absolutely right that's of course they're going to do that I still blame Trump you know uh yeah but uh to wrap that up so prices are up and I love that he tried to say a few week this was like a week or two ago he was like he goes oh the Biden inflation Still's going strong or something like that he he you know he did on his shitty platform that nobody's on um you know he posted that and it was like oh no no no sweetheart you own this now it's your inflation yeah you know and what are you going to say when it just keeps getting worse then what then what are you going to say right Nick they'll keep blaming Biden oh for sure keep blaming B that's all they got Nick what else is in the news all right so let's move on to the health agency's termination letters landed in the mailboxes of hundreds of employees at the centers for dis Disease Control and prevention the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health among some of the workers fired at the CDC PhD trained scientists tasked with helping local and state officials respond to outbreaks employees who ensure that medical devices for patients with cancer and diabetes are safe public health workers stationed at an International Airport who enforces regulations to prevent animals carrying rabies and other infectious diseases from entering the United States these are all of course things that uh we proba shouldn't care that much about my God and I think we have a little clip for this one what we got I mean we've seen cuts at the Centers for Disease Control and prevention right that the main public health agency for this country uh HHS has an emergency preparedness and Response Unit which is a lot of times on a front line of things like the bird flu response and monitoring Ebola overseas that kind of thing there were Cuts in that office as well over the weekend yeah I mean you know my God he's making all these Cuts I mean we're gearing up for you know what I would consider you know uh covid 5.0 you know it's going to be something crazy is going to happen in the next four years mark my words and it's going to be bad I don't you know there's no way to sugarcoat that you can't fire all these people and expect everything's just going to be better mhm it's the United States government isn't a business you can't run it the way you know I mean and also these two people they run [ __ ] into the ground that's what they do that's what their brand ish that's what's happening here it's just everything is they're they're going to break everything they're they're going to break it what do you think Nick well on that note uh only weeks after the biggest air disaster in decades the Trump Administration terminated roughly 400 workers at the Federal Aviation Administration this week firings reportedly included Personnel hired for FAA radar landing and navigational Aid maintenance that kind of sounds important according to one terminated worker the firings leave the remaining Workforce in the Lurch and overtaxed 28y old Jason King was at FAA for eight months when you were doing your job at FAA did you believe you were helping to make the public safer I truly did King an army veteran with a service related disability says he worries Cuts could be too deep even for the people that are still there uh their workload has drastically increased um and I think that's where a big part of my concern for the public safety comes in I don't know about you guys but I'm a bit of a nervous Nelly when I fly I'm not you know I'm not super confident you know I've never been a great flyer Tiffany knows this about me I've gotten better over the years but I don't care if you're a good flyer or a bad flyer we don't have enough people there now yeah what is he doing I just it feels like I understand the redundancy in the United States government and I get the red tape and all but you can't just get rid of everyone there the reason there are reasons these systems are in place and when you start picking them off that's how [ __ ] starts to go bad look at all the accidents that we've been having all the plane crashes there's another one today yeah I know yeah Nick what about you I mean there's there's a Common Thread here between if you look at the CDC cuts and the FAA cuts and and all these other cuts across across agencies that are designed to help uh ensure that bad things don't happen to Americans broadly you know not even not even necessarily the uh the the programs that we depend on but some of the some of the safeguards that the federal uh Workforce helps to provide uh for everyday Americans you know and uh and our our last news story here kind of folds right into that so I'll uh I'll go there and I this doesn't really feel like we're making America great again how is this making America great all these Cuts all these accidents do you know what the hell is going to happen now yeah and real quick he's trying to say you know he's doing the whole [ __ ] horor [ __ ] about I'm training the swamp no you're [ __ ] breaking America is what you're doing listen I'm sure there's stuff that could be cut no question about it we're probably long [ __ ] overdue but there listen this ain't the way this ain't the way my guy this ain't the way you need to be smart about it I don't need Elon Musk and AI coming in going this is how we fix it dude we're [ __ ] okay how who what industries are going to absorb these workers where are they gonna go yeah that's a great Point too you know watch unemployment's going to go up it's going to be brutal yeah if that's even gonna be a [ __ ] thing yeah Nick take us into our dangerously deep discussion all right we're gonna start our discussion by talking about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau this is an agency that was created in response to the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing great Great Recession and it was set up to protect Americans from credit card companies mortgage providers and debt collectors and since its Inception in 2011 cfpb has fielded over 7.7 million consumer complaints and returned over $20 billion do into the pockets of regular people just this last year cfpb capped most credit card late fees at $8 capped most Bank overdraft fees at $5 and banned the inclusion of medical bills on credit reports so that people's medical debt won't count against them when they try and take out a loan these are all great things that help Americans right well the Trump is AD the Trump Administration is on a mission to destroy the agency making clear that if they can't wholesale get rid of it without an act of Congress they will gut it from the inside in early February Trump fired the agency's director and installed project 2025 author Russell vot at the top and he immediately told all cfpb workers to go home shut down the building hold down the agency's website and shut down their Twitter account oh my God be because they just can't help themselves last week Republican lawmakers introduced legislation to overturn that $5 cap on overdraft fees oh my God arguing that higher fees quote promote financi discipline and responsibility oh okay yeah so this is this so so so the cfpb is is an an example of an agency that has been literally fighting for the American people they literally take complaints from anybody and process those and deal with these uh mortgage lenders and Banks and try and get you know resolution to the issues that everyday Americans are having um and and you know so the big discussion here today is and this is something that we need to get across to Americans the Trump trump ran on helping working Americans and literally everything that he's doing is the exact opposite yeah I wish they would uh sit every Republican down and sit them on a couch and tell tell them you tell me how it makes sense to uh increase late fees uh increase overdraft fees and stuff like that uh and how that's good for you and good for every other American tell me how that's possible you [ __ ] got to be kidding me every time the little guy gets a win right you get your insulin capped you get your your bank fees capped you get your overdraft fees Capp every [ __ ] time we get anything Republicans when they get in power they take it and they break it and they tell you to go [ __ ] yourself and then it takes 25 years to clean it up and then they break it again yeah and really quick uh uh under the guise of what Nick just said oh we're doing it because it it promotes financial responsibility I'm sorry shut the [ __ ] up yeah I'm sorry [ __ ] face I didn't realize that that was your uh job you know what I mean I thought you guys were the Freedom guys you know what I mean uh Nick where you stand on that oh my gosh I mean so and and on the on the note of uh you know musk and and Trump twiitter as a company has been floating the idea of uh starting um like be being having like a financial services component to it like almost a lending type component to it gee I wonder why Elon Musk would want to kneecap the cfpb as as Twitter is is uh exploring that that option um you know that the FAA has had uh some level of Regulation over SpaceX right I mean that this is not the these aren't these aren't random choices that are happening yeah yeah yeah these are strategic choices that they're making you're gonna loot my country and then you want me to pay you to get that money back you want me you want me to be indebted to you are you [ __ ] out of your mind I know you don't know how any of this works like you've never been a regular person in your entire [ __ ] life yeah yeah coming from two people who have never been a regular person their entire lives right yeah it's pretty it's it's pretty uh grim and I just again I go back to what they do to win elections is they say abortion uh you know Dei be mad about this be mad about that but what they really want immigrants are bad you know all this stuff what they really want is all the money you know and it's just like George car Carlin they're going to get it they're going to get all of it and um boy folks if if we didn't see it in the first four years of him we are absolutely going to see it uh in the next four years I I really you know I'm with a lot of people out there and I don't mean to like you know sound unnecessary alarm whistles but I'm curious what kind of democracy we're going to have left if anything after after four years of this hor [ __ ] I I just I don't this is the thing with me and Republicans is you're going to stand there and profess that you're this Christian right and you believe in the Ten Commandments do you know how billionaires got to be billionaires they lie cheat and steal what are three things in the list of 10 things and now you guys are gathering around them and you're boosting them up and you're talking to us like we're [ __ ] stupid like we can't see you we can see you yeah I know and they're doing it in the name of Jesus listen I consider myself you know at least quasi Christian and and uh and you can say what you want I got my own relationship with God you can take that or leave I don't care it's my relationship with God and I'll tell you what no matter what your relationship is you can't do those things yeah and it's like the caller said last week that he said it's the farthest away from the teachings of Jesus Christ that you could possibly get that's that's exactly right and one more thing is uh real quick and then we'll get to Nick is is you know back when we started 11 films and and Nick you too I mean I don't know if you want to on uh comment on this but uh back when we started 11 films everybody and their mother was asking was telling us you got to start a pack you got to start a pack you got to start a super pack and you know what the [ __ ] you know what we did not that we we uh we partnered with a nonprofit because we were like that's you're part of the problem you know I mean I can't you know I just morally I couldn't do it and you couldn't do it Nick I know that that that I mean why did you start a nonprofit Mick yeah same reason um but and also just because we were you know demcast is an activist organization yeah we wanted to have credibility with folks on the Grassroots who who would who would be who would be sort of doing doing the work collectively and and uh and Super Pac said you know it's not it's all dark you know it's dark money and and that's that that just makes people feel rightfully uncomfortable so yeah and and the reason why this matters in this discussion is because when you really kill back the onion it's decisions like uh like this you know uh what I apolog what is the the citizens united decision that that led us to things where unlimited dark money can go into politics thus unlimited uh crooked people can be in politics now uh we've got a corrupt Supreme Court uh at least half of them are uh and uh you know here are Fess and and guess what they're planning on doing now like the Republican Congress is talking about their their tax and spending bill and the the plan you know their plan is up to $4.5 trillion do in tax cuts over the next decade almost all of it going to the to the filthiest wealthiest people in the country lifting by the way the debt ceiling by $4 trillion because Republicans love to talk about like oh the debt the debt the debt ceing right uh and and what and what are how are they going to pay for for that well spending cuts they they want to reduce federal spending by $ 1.5 to2 trillion over the next 10 years cutting $880 billion from healthc care spending uh reducing education and Workforce spending by $330 billion I mean they're literally reverse Robin hooding the United States you know I mean yeah it's it's crazy and and you know when you folks from now on listen to your old pal Jim listen to what I'm telling you whenever you hear them say the rep the Republican tax cut plan just think grift 2. that's what this is going to be it's going to be a huge grift for um uh for republicans and their rich friends you know it's like whenever you see those uh there's some great memes and stuff out there that show every time a democrat's in office the deficit goes down every time a Republican's in office it goes up you know it's like uh you're not so slick guys and I think too part of the problem is our part our party is still operating like the rules are the same like this is the same gentleman's agreement it's been all these years and like it's just going to get decided over like a backdoor whiskey deal this guy is not these you you're not in the club either yeah wait till they figure it out yeah so it's uh it's it's we're getting hit from all angles so guess the question is is Nick is what can people do about it well uh one thing that we would love for everybody to do is call the people's hotline um tell us your stories about how these ma massive cuts are are impacting your life and your family that's 53212 4600 um we uh we have and and whether whether or not you're one of these federal workers or you're somebody who's feeling the downstream effects of of these Federal Cuts you know we you know this is going to end up it's not just the federal work that's the first that's the first line but that's not you know it's all going to hit us in various ways over the coming months so keep those stories coming uh the other thing that folks can do uh our partners at Americans for financial reform this was an organization that worked with Elizabeth Warren to help set up this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau um they are looking for stories uh that they can share both with uh with lawmakers and and on social media and across their Communications channels and you can go to uh the bit.ly cfpb stories we'll we'll show that uh show that URL and uh please share share your stories if you were helped by by the cfpb if you were one of the you know millions of people who submitted a uh you know a a complaint about one of these financial services companies and the cfpb helped you get scrap catch back a little bit of money from these massive banks that are trying to screw everybody um we need to be super loud about that because we really want to try and protect the cfpb right now yeah and I would would also add to not only calling the people's hotline that you can do uh you can also uh write to us at shout theed dangerous ones.com and by doing so you can also send us uh video links that you want us to help amplify again that's s houthe dangerous ones.com send us uh Dropbox links uh Google Drive links if you've already posted a video onto your social media send us a link to that and with media being compromised now the the only place you can go to get the truth and get really what's going on out there Independent Media alternative media like this podcast call into the hotline send us an email because no one's coming like we're out here we're all out here you guys so we we need to know what's going on that's a that's a great Point nobody's coming nobody's coming we've got to save our so well great discussion Nick that was fantastic uh I mean it was you know it was a [ __ ] bummer but you know Hey listen there's going to be a lot of bummers over the next four years that's like I'm I'm like the I'm like the Grim Reaper on this show man hey man it's it's gonna sting 2025 is gonna sting I'm the news guy yeah oh you know what uh just before we go into uh into culture there is a blackout coming uh on the uh 28th of February uh Nick can you tell us a little bit about uh what's going on yeah so there's a pretty Grassroots uh hall for people to uh walk out of the economy on February 28th as a sign to the major corporations that people mean business and that were paying attention um I uh don't know a ton about the group that's that sort of originally proposed this but I think you know whether you jump in or don't jump in on this like you know pick any day and deny the corporate over overlords their money as far as I'm concerned that sounds absolutely like a great plan um but um you know if you if you decide to jump in if you don't decide to jump in I do think that this is an example of the type of collective action that we are going to need to be taking and so yeah just keep paying attention keep staying attuned to sort of uh Grassroots actions that are happening like this yeah and let me just say this really quick to anybody who's going to say something in the comments cuz I'm already I already know what's going to happen they're like that don't work dude that stuff doesn't work it never works well then you tell me what the [ __ ] to do yeah you tell me what then give me give me an idea listen I'm not saying it's going to work or it's not going to work I'm saying let's [ __ ] try anything man you know what I mean and maybe this isn't this isn't for this is a signal to us to see what can we do together collectively on one day as a mass action let's just see yeah let's [ __ ] let's just see yeah [ __ ] well so but again I'm I'm trying to say like you know you come to me with a better idea man I'm tired of people complaining you know they're just trying to get your goat anyways but in these comments but it's like then you come to me with answers don't come with that doesn't work come to me with no you know what instead of doing that let's do this yeah and I'm way more open to that go ahead Nick it it you know it doesn't work until it does that's right that's right that's right so uh anyways if you want to take part in that that is February 28th that's all day long and uh and there you go I think it's time for a little culture c u l t u r e c u l t u r okay all right well so the other night was Saturday night lives uh they celebrated their 50th anniversary with a bang rolling out a star studded spectacle that Revisited its Legacy of sharp satire and comedy and it was a lot of fun did you get to to see it Nick I saw bits and pieces y it was all over the Internet it was a lot of fun I swear that audience for the 50th Anniversary was like every I mean they had [ __ ] uh uh not MC Jagger who am I think Keith Richards yeah he they rolled him out you know it's wild to just watch all of that and realize like that's been going on our entire lives and the you know when you were a little kid like you were you would sneak down the hall and like listen in on the skits you know and think oh it's so adult it's so been around forever no it's brand new that's why everybody was watching it yeah Tiffany and I were born in 1975 so we you know we we've been around since SNL SNL was the day before my birthday right right it premiered the day before your birthday yeah and so uh it has been such a part of our Lives growing up in fact this is true and you can make fun of us if you want to Nick uh when we watch SNL and that theme music comes on after the intro we cry yeah we do we cry a little bit we kind of like get a little chery because it means so much to us and our parents watched it there's not a lot of uh American institutions like that left you know especially in entertainment and so and TV and these all these mediums are dying because the digital age is here so it's it feels very like oh America you know and you know what was great they did a really great Montage of Politically Incorrect skits that they had done over the years that they quote unquote didn't age well and um I thought two things I thought that was the bravest thing they had done yeah and it was also one of the funniest [ __ ] things that they played all night it was like probably 5 minutes long and it was hilarious and you're like and the whole time you're watching it too you're like ooh you can't get away with saying that now man super smart because it sucks all of the ammo out of the room so now the right can't come in and be like well remember when you did this they're like yeah yeah I wonder I wonder now you know uh we have a friend that uh we knew since you know Tiff and I have known each each other since we were kids uh but I know one of our uh middle school friends I saw him Post online one time uh a couple years ago I think actually when Trump was president the first time and he was like I'm not watching SNL no because he's a Trump no no no okay no don't we won't use names but but uh uh he posted online that he's like I'm not watching SNL no more it's unwatchable anymore because he's a Trumper you know and I was wondering I wonder how many uh people on the right watch SNL anymore yeah that's a good question I don't know because they've taken quite a stand in the road like listen we're not [ __ ] they're not [ __ ] around they're not [ __ ] around yeah I mean they make fun of Joe too like when he was president I thought Jim krey did a fantastic Joe Biden uh to you know and that's the thing about comedy is you're supposed to be able to laugh at yourself you're supposed to be able to jab each other a little you know yeah I jab Nick all the time he's still here you know I am yeah I'm a glutton for punishment one of the uh uh skits on the 50th Anniversary show was that fantastic character Debbie Downer by Rachel dra and and she uh they brought it back for the 50th anniversary and she's in a scene with Robert dairo because of course he's there it's like everybody on Earth is there yeah and they did this in a fantastic scene but in one of the parts they start talking about Nano Plastics which by random stance is exactly what we were going to get into today and uh Tiff we got a little clip of that will you play that yeah kind of surprised you want a straw watch that micr Plastics at this point we're all walking landfills odds are they've already taken up residence in your testies [Laughter] oh we laugh but uh unfortunately I think some of that is true what a fantastic clip oh my goodness folks strap in and unfortunately this culture section is not going to be a lot of fun look at Nick look at Nick he's already sweating dude uh but yeah he needs a drink it's it's a little Grim it's a little Grim but Tiff go for it okay microplastics and nanoplastics as we all know are microscopic pieces of plastic that come and go right they leech out of landfills they get into the ground they get into the ground water which gets into the irrigation of our agriculture because now nanoplastics and microplastics have been found in cows and pigs and chickens everywhere right oh God yeah and they're carried in the air and in the rain and in the environment are you serious yeah oh I didn't I was not aware 300 million bottles plastic bottles have fallen every single year into the most remote national parks in America via rain we're and wind and oh my we're talking we're talking the Grand Canyon we're talking um Craters of the Moon which is like a super remote National Park you know yeah yeah they have been found in the Mariana Trench what we can't we can't even get to the bottom they've found nanoplastic down there at the bottom of the of the trench which is the deepest place on Earth Earth they have found them on Mount Everest oh they're [ __ ] everywhere okay okay so the last time the levels in the human body have been measured was 2016 and now there's a new study out by the University of New Mexico that in the eight years that has passed since they have studied the levels in the human body they have risen by 50% oh my God 5 oh my God so we have 50% more plastic in our bodies than we did just eight years ago eight years ago and the amount of plastic doubles every 10 to 15 years oh my godol so if it's only 50% more in the last eight years what's it going to be in another eight oh my God in another 10 in another 15 but like but like what is the amount like what does that even you want to know what the amount is do you really want to know what the [ __ ] amount is yeah hey it's a it's a it's a show let's do it whatever so they're in every single one of your organs they're found in newborn babies they're found in placentas they're found in your breast milk they're found ever and she's right in your balls they're [ __ ] everywhere the organ with the highest concentration of nanoplastics and microplastics is the brain what yeah yep and they're getting into the the body has this cool thing called the bloodb brain barrier and it's like nothing gets in like you have to be an Army Ranger to get through the blood brain barrier like it's water oxygen fats caffeine alcohol soluble things right right well fat and plastic love each other have you ever tried to get grease out of your Tupperware oh right it's like it takes four times through the dishwasher right like it's [ __ ] hard so they attach to each other and that's how they think the nanoplastics are getting into the brain they're attaching to the fat cells and getting through the blood brain barrier so okay so now they're now they're measuring the levels in the body right in your brain you have the equivalent of an entire plastic spoon what right now this this WOW in in invisible plastic has accumulated and lodged in here oh my god look how much that is a whole plastic spon an entire plastic spoon and Alzheimer and demen patients have up to 10 times that amount they got 10 [ __ ] spoons and their [ __ ] no wonder they can't [ __ ] concentrate no wonder they can and they don't know if like do they have dementia in Alzheimer's because of the plastic or is the plastic building up in the brain because the dementia and the Alzheimer's thins out the bloodb brain barrier and that's why they're getting so much more they don't know is it chicken is it egg they don't [ __ ] know oh my God yeah yeah so well God you know what's F you know what's funny is right exactly Nick what's funny is I do feel like over the years like with in the 70s in the 80s and the 90s I was fine in the 2000 2010s 2020s I and I realize I'm getting older but like I feel like I'm not sludgy I'm a little sludgy man okay like and they don't know how adverse this is going to affect our health as we go into the future and they think the number one way that we are ingesting these Plastics is from the meat Supply from it leaking out of landfills into so all the diapers that us Gen X wore all those plastic [ __ ] water bottles plastic B all that [ __ ] is deteriorating and getting into the groundwater and there's nothing being done oh my my God there's no way to stop it they have to they have to dispose of plastic waste in a different way and the only other way is incineration right well you can't burn plastic it's toxic so we have to invest and research ways that we can get rid of plastic otherwise it's just even if we stopped using every plastic cutting board right now we got rid of everything plastic first generation Plastics they call them your takeout containers your all of these things right even if you stopped using them today that has nothing to do with the generation of nanoplastics that is leeching into our bodies right now oh my God are you [ __ ] kidding me I'm not [ __ ] kidding I'm not [ __ ] kidding and the doctor yeah go ahead Nick we could solve two problems with one with with one solution uh take Elon Musk and SpaceX and zoom all of them and the plastic into outer space yeah there you go shoot them into outer space I mean that's the only way you have to put it into space this is a [ __ ] ass problem oh my God yeah there's a spoon in my brain the doctor who ran this study Dr Matthew campen here he is talking about exactly how dire it is I think the UN goal is to eliminate plastic usage by 2040 well we still have billions of tons in the ground turning into microplastics we haven't done we haven't dented that growth at all so so my fear is that over the next 20 to 40 years we're going to see uh double triple quadruple the amount of Plastics in our bodies and there will be health effects that that stem from that oh my God so he's saying haven't even made a dent oh my God so he's saying there's billions of tons already in the ground yeah and and uh the UN the UN wants to end it by 20 240 but by then we'll have he said billions more yeah and right now there is 8 billion tons of plastic waste already on the planet 8 billion tons is one ton for every single human being on Earth and plastic is going to double every 10 to 15 years then it's a plastic Planet here's here's the here's the problem is that there is no capitalist incentive for pering this right right I mean and and as As Trump and musk trying you know from the United States at least try and cut all these programs that are designed to help uh you know stem environmental uh environmental pollution and you know they're going to slice and dice the EPA um you know those those are the kinds of agencies that are designed to help us Safeguard or at least try and prepare against against threats like this to our health and and and but it's it's going the other direction they want to cut those and then they want to uh you know they want to deregulate industry uh to make them as highly profitable as possible and like what what's the incentive for a billionaire to stop you know using Plastics in their packaging or whatever I mean it's just it feels like a problem that's like intractable at this point which is really depressing yeah getting off Plastics right now it's great the the world does not need another plastic cutting board right you know do what you can but that your plastic water bottles and things like that that is your children and your grandchildren's generation that's not going to be dealing with nanoplastic so you're taking a responsibility for your future right now like he said that unless we somehow revolutionize plastic disposal not a lot not a lot we can do the other number one thing he said is remove meat and fat from your diet right that will mitigate your exposure and then Here Comes Republicans going they're trying to take your cheeseburgers from you you know what I mean it's just like here we go I wonder how much plastic we're ingesting every week or something you know you want to know what the Cherry is on this [ __ ] Sunday yeah Americans every week ingest up to five grams of plastic per week that is this much that is one credit card oh my God yeah just like we eat an entire credit cards worth of plastic in a week in a week up to so it could be okay say it's a four have a credit card you're eating plastic bro no you know people are like the food doesn't taste the same well no [ __ ] it's [ __ ] covered in plastic and so are you Jesus Christ man so I know we wanted a sunny news day but let's start let's start drinking again you know because they plastic sorry sorry audience oh there is 100% surely plastic in my beer oh my God but you know I'm glad you're I'm glad you're telling us this we need to know this crap because if we if we're not aware of the facts we're just going to hide and and again and again I feel so sorry for Jen Z Jen Alpha um coming up I mean folks you know and that's the other thing too let me just say this on a personal note like when you hear like politicians say things like you know oh we just we want to do it for our grandchildren and stuff like that it's like okay well do you like like honestly do you want to do things that help future Generations do you really care about your babies and your grandbabies and stuff like that do you really then why are you acting like a berserk crazy maniac right now and allowing things like this to happen I think it's really easy to say that you want to do things for your grandchildren and when you're a republican but when you realize how much of an inconvenience that's going to be for you personally they're like no [ __ ] way yeah they're not going to make their life's harder so somebody else's life is easier that's what Democrats do that's not what Republicans do yeah yeah boy it's all about the All About the free market and capitalism I mean that's that's what's driving us so yeah and and I'll just say real quick we have some very close friends who uh live very close to here here in Portland and they got a notice saying out of nowhere they uh there are now nanoplastics and they're drinking water [ __ ] water and and and they told them they said if you boil it it makes it worse makes it worse it makes it worse was they send us this Like Water Report or whatever tiny print it's like uh you should just be drinking bottled plastic water this entire time I'm sorry what I'm sorry what and not only that you think I want to drink water out of plastic plastic bottle that that doesn't that aren't I making the problem worse by doing that my God Nick hold me and like aren Char I wish I could Jim cradle me cradle me poor guy wow you know uh listen that's what this show is for we're here to to to you know expose the truth man um well thank you for that Tiffany that was uh you're welcome you know listen hey you you took you took you took my uh my Dooms Day banner and you took it over to your desk I appreciate that I did folks only this show can go from SNL to nanoplastics killing us in one segment boom yeah hey man we're just we're all trauma bonding together and if you can't laugh through it you're going to go [ __ ] crazy that's right but now it's time to hear from you guys everyone who has called the uh the people's hotline and by the way just uh a reminder a little scheduling note from now on there will be a there is a new show on Sundays uh it's a whole another Dangerous Ones episode where we are just playing your calls I heard somebody in the comments too somebody goes like they put the time stamp they go like oh really the whole show is our calls I mean we're going to have a little banter in the beginning and then it will just not doing the whole news culture danger it's just just the people's hotline I'm sorry for not being clear clear uh I'm kidding anyways but uh so we've done this like four times like we're working on it we're massaging it you know I blame Nick can we blame Nick he's not totally my fault yeah totally totally my fault y anyhow so on Sundays we'll uh every Sunday is just going to be uh the people's hotline calls and we're super excited we'll have another one this Sunday and uh but uh here let's get into a little danger oo D us let's get dangerous danger Tiffany who's first our first caller is Aaron and she's calling from a blue State and she has some tips with how to resist with your wallet what's going on here hey there I wanted to thank you for podcast and uh wanted to offer a suggestion I'm calling from a true blue State and although my representatives are doing all they can and actually doing all they can not just hand ringing uh there are a lot uh there's not a lot more I can do not a lot more people I can call but I just had a thought I tried a vacation in Maine most years and I love it there and uh Susan Collins is not standing up for the people so I canceled my vacation sent her a note to let her know that I did it because of her so maybe those of us in blue states can uh show a little bit of economic impact to those in red states by just choosing not to visit that's my thought thanks bye I love that me too Ain and I think absolutely great and I I I think the key part of that is being as loud about that decision as possible so making sure that Susan Collins knows uh that that you made that decision making sure that uh other people in Maine know that you are depriving them of your uh financial resources and your tourism uh be because because of the decisions that she's making and then and then just being as loud as possible on social media too you know and yeah no it's super cool yeah and I would say that Tiff and I have uh kind of followed that same message uh in the last oh eight years years or so we've we've uh you know I'm not going to be vacationing anytime in Texas ever since that abortion ruling and you know it's just where you know there's certain things you're just not going to do I want to see Austin super bad but but I might have to wait a few years but I don't want to boycott a bunch of [ __ ] but I have to because you have to stand on it you got to stand on something man or we're just going to keep going down the dark Road thank you Aon for the call thank you for uh being a supporter of this podcast uh it truly means a lot to us Tiffany who is next our next caller is Gwen from California and she has some thoughts about what it takes to overthrow an author authoritarian threat and uh some words of encouragement hi this is Gwyn from California and I just want to remind everybody that research from Erica chenowith shows that you need just 3.5% of the population to be actively engaged engaged in prolonged civil nonviolent protest to overthrow an authoritarian regime so come on people that's only one in 30 of your friends family and neighbors or 3.5 out of a hundred and you know so I guess the. five could be your four-year-old toddler or something but um maybe you could add 3.5 and 3.5 together and get seven out of 50 is that is that right something like that um so or is it s out of 200 I'm not good at math but anyway it's doable it's doable get off the couch get out in the streets it's not that hard and and you can do like a tag team you know so someday some you know someone in your group of 30 is marching and you know another day somebody else is so let's do it we can do it this is doable come on all right bye I love it Gwen absolutely it's right it doesn't take a lot uh of us to make a a big difference and Nick you can speak to that I mean the work you do with demcast every day yeah no we can have an outsize impact um especially on in digital spaces where you know a single post can can go viral and and we can mutually amplify each other but and and that is honestly the Town Square at this point so making a big impact online is definitely something that uh something that we can all do being very vocal uh and not not pulling punches um but also the in-person stuff you know it is it is going to take some you know some in-person uh demonstration and resistance to to topple a virging uh you know dictatorship and we have to mentally prepare ourselves for that fact and and get involved where we can yeah fantastic well great call from Gwen really great yeah and uh and thank you so much uh for your support and thanks for calling folks if you want to call do it at 503 212 4600 5032 212 4600 Tiffany who's next our next caller is Noel from Michigan and she's got some really great things to say about our trans brothers and sisters out there and uh sh ends it with a great poem H drastics and hello Canen my name is Noel and I'm from Michigan um I decided to call in vent because I can't [ __ ] sleep why can't I sleep you might ask well I was minding my own [ __ ] business when uh a little message just popped up on my screen that informed me that that [ __ ] revolting abominable hateful cre creepy loome repugnant gross hideous vile repellent rotten pile of fermenting excrement and his obscene Congregation of obedient fools have decided to remove the tea and the que from lgbtq from all front facing uh public material at the Stonewall memori The Stonewall riots as most people will know who started by a transgender woman by the name of Marsha P Johnson I am a transwoman myself so obviously I was [ __ ] devastated by that article so I just wanted to let these mother [ __ ] Nazis that let them know that the trans people have existed from the beginning of time and they will exist until the end of time you can't just [ __ ] erase us you malignant Tor of a human being you [ __ ] leech on society anyway ah I'm going to end my rent with a little poem I wrote here it is roses are red violets are blue Trump is a [ __ ] and Elon is too okay that's my rant that's [Music] all thank you Noel wow Noel I know that was fantastic yeah coming in with lyrics and everything I I did I have to be honest I did not know that about the removing the the letters I mean [ __ ] you it's disgusting I mean you're that's what's happening is we're all going along just like Noel M in our own [ __ ] business and then you get a little thing on your phone you're like [ __ ] what oh my good grief from the stone walls memorium that's the that that's the I mean that's the really I mean that's really disgusting that's there's so much intent in that there's so much intentful eraser uh in that action that is uh extremely troubling and absolutely revolting I mean every sing epithet that Noel had you know to describe all of that is is right on point and yeah I had not heard that that's absolutely terrible uh just just terrible and we need to uh we need to be aware of these things again it's like every [ __ ] day it's another nightmare it's five nightmares every single day it's another five new nightmares I mean in this show alone we we opened up with how they're blowing up you know everything finan uh you know the FAA all that stuff I won't even bring my phone over with me because I can't I can't even whenever it goes I'm I can't I can't know what's happening and then we go into the nanoplastics that's literally rotting in all of our brains and in our brand new children babies brains and then now we're finding out Trump and Elon and those guys are all trying to take out a couple of letters out of out what are what the [ __ ] [ __ ] you man okay okay okay another cool cool as Nick says yeah we we've got to we got to fight this man um yeah okay uh Tiff do we have one more we do H our we're going to end on this really great call from Shelly in central New York and she's got a little something to say about all that as well hi I'm Shelly from uh New York State Central New York State um and I just would like to list for you the groups of people who are now dead to me Trump voters especially voters who voted for Obama and then voted for Trump the first time then voted for Biden and then voted for Trump again people who voted for abortion rights in their own state but voted for Trump for president people who voted for Jill Stein people who voted in quotes their conscience whatever the [ __ ] that means people who voted for Biden but didn't vote at all in the 2024 election people who didn't vote for kamla because she didn't appear on The Joe Rogan show people who didn't vote for Kamala because they just couldn't vote for a woman especially a woman of color all of you you're all dead to me thank you very much god well Shelly from New York I I have to say that I understand the frustration and I understand the anger and I know Tiff and I differ a little that's the beauty of the show Tiff and I differ a little bit from Nick we're still angry over here Nick I know that you're you're a little we got to let back in the yeah I know Nick and Nick is right I mean we got obviously we need to accept these people back uh who who go you know what I was I was [ __ ] wrong cuz we all make mistakes and I get that but I'm still the anger phase with Shelly Nick probably understandable I I mean I'm it's not that I'm not angry um I I just you know from because of my my role of demcast I'm just always thinking of stuff from a messaging standpoint and you know ultimately we have to win some of those people back if democracy is going to survive so I'm just kind of a realist about it but um but I totally get in terms of just the cathartic feel of um you know yeah [ __ ] you guys like it's not like it's pay it's not like Trump was super bashful about telling us what his plans were he was pretty honest about it and he's literally doing all of it uh and and be like have you been paying attention for the last 15 years in American politics at all like yeah yeah yeah yeah excellent point uh what were your thoughts on Shelly oh Shelly I love CH and I as I'm listening to her and then I'm also listening to Noel you can hear them like you can hear the catharsis taking place as they like even Noel at the end she took a big sigh she was like huh you know Shell at the end she's like that's what I have to S you're all dead to me okay thanks bye you can hear them like I'm so glad I got that off my chest absolutely uh uh Shel makes a pretty good point on some of those that she was saying I was like God yeah right I mean right check check yes check yeah um because but you know right after the election uh Tiff and I I mean no question no I'm not lying to anybody we wanted to burn it all down after the election I didn't want to make videos anymore
