00:12:58.431 --> 00:13:04.411 So there is someone right now who is playing through, I believe it's Mario 64, and every single console has been ported to. 00:13:06.231 --> 00:13:10.131 And so that's 16 different classes. 00:13:10.151 --> 00:13:10.411 Jesus. 00:13:10.791 --> 00:13:11.051 What? 00:13:11.971 --> 00:13:21.071 And yeah, and it's that's I so yes, absolutely crossover of just every single version of Mario. 00:13:21.591 --> 00:13:24.211 I also thinking about Mario 64 just quickly. 00:13:24.291 --> 00:13:37.431 I was reminded recently that with the new the new game coming out with Mario 64 on it, I was reminded that there was a re-release with better graphics and more like characters on the 3DS. 00:13:37.951 --> 00:13:38.291 Uh-huh. 00:13:38.451 --> 00:13:38.931 There was. 00:13:39.851 --> 00:13:45.951 Anyways, yeah, the person, by the way, who is doing is doing this thing that I mentioned is Orchestra on Twitch. 00:13:46.191 --> 00:13:51.811 To make it interesting for you, what if it was just all of the Darths from Star Wars? 00:13:52.211 --> 00:13:54.011 And you know how there can only be one, right? 00:13:54.031 --> 00:13:55.091 There can only be one Darth. 00:13:55.111 --> 00:13:56.131 What if it was all of them? 00:13:56.151 --> 00:13:57.871 There's actually there can only be two. 00:13:58.371 --> 00:13:58.631 Right. 00:13:58.651 --> 00:14:00.031 The rule of the rule of two. 00:14:00.051 --> 00:14:00.451 Right. 00:14:00.811 --> 00:14:02.871 But I mean, you know, there can only be one master. 00:14:02.891 --> 00:14:04.271 There can only be one apprentice. 00:14:04.671 --> 00:14:06.071 What if they were all master? 00:14:06.111 --> 00:14:07.631 What if everybody master now? 00:14:07.651 --> 00:14:11.171 I mean, here's here's an alternative way to do this crossover. 00:14:11.231 --> 00:14:12.971 I have another way to do a crossover. 00:14:13.111 --> 00:14:25.471 What if we did character crossovers and it was just different character types that all had to be the same type of character from all these different series just in the thing together? 00:14:25.511 --> 00:14:31.291 Like the same like character trope or type, OK, as it appears in different series, right? 00:14:31.331 --> 00:14:35.591 Like the nerd or like the coward, the jock. 00:14:36.111 --> 00:14:51.571 It's it's that it's like it could be, you know, with the it's the council of the Rick's type thing in which it is every not just every Rick from Rick and Morty, but every character in a thing who is the same character type as Rick. 00:14:52.411 --> 00:14:57.431 How do we decide what Rick's case I think is sorry, how do we decide what world they're in? 00:14:58.011 --> 00:14:59.231 Oh, they're in the trope world. 00:14:59.651 --> 00:15:00.751 The trope world? 00:15:01.311 --> 00:15:02.471 Yeah, you know, the trope dimension. 00:15:03.131 --> 00:15:04.871 Uh-huh, no, I don't know. 00:15:04.891 --> 00:15:07.131 It's a dimension we've built exactly for this purpose. 00:15:07.551 --> 00:15:07.971 Great. 00:15:08.691 --> 00:15:15.751 It's a space between worlds of sorts, in which different tropes, you know, all that's where the tropes come to meet, you know? 00:15:16.331 --> 00:15:17.551 They have tea together. 00:15:17.571 --> 00:15:22.871 Yeah, it's like, if you wanted to make it physical, it's like it's in TV tropes somewhere. 00:15:23.171 --> 00:15:24.311 It's somewhere in TV. 00:15:24.611 --> 00:15:26.391 It's on the TV trope database. 00:15:27.071 --> 00:15:28.591 It's in the TV tropes database. 00:15:28.611 --> 00:15:29.231 That's where they meet. 00:15:29.711 --> 00:15:35.971 Okay, if you had to get a character type from all the different things that you like, right? 00:15:35.991 --> 00:15:38.251 A common character type between them. 00:15:38.751 --> 00:15:40.951 What would be the best option and the worst option? 00:15:41.111 --> 00:15:42.711 In terms of like, you had to like... 00:15:42.911 --> 00:15:48.691 The best one and the worst one are the same because it's the murdered queer from Burry or Gay's Trope. 00:15:49.171 --> 00:15:55.571 Because they're all alive now, but also we all know what's going to happen to all of them. 00:15:55.851 --> 00:16:03.871 Yeah, yes, agreed, though a thing that I've learned in Blaseball recently, maybe necromancy is not a good idea. 00:16:04.831 --> 00:16:07.851 Basically, the fans brought a character back from the dead. 00:16:07.891 --> 00:16:17.271 Now they've been pitching balls and whenever they hit someone with a ball, that character has a chance of dying, of being incinerated by an umpire. 00:16:17.291 --> 00:16:24.351 And so now there's a league wide series of deaths happening because we did a little bit of necromancy. 00:16:27.991 --> 00:16:30.651 Anyway, so necromancy is a good idea. 00:16:31.151 --> 00:16:34.751 You know that the developers of that were betting on this, right? 00:16:35.131 --> 00:16:48.891 Oh, I think they like, at the very least, when they saw the option appear, when they saw that people were trying to make this happen, they did start tweeting, are y'all sure you want to do this? 00:16:50.951 --> 00:16:51.691 This is great. 00:16:53.111 --> 00:16:55.631 I would like, yeah, okay, I've made a decision. 00:16:55.651 --> 00:16:57.731 I would like to bring together all the chosen ones. 00:16:59.931 --> 00:17:01.851 Oh my god, that would be insufferable. 00:17:02.251 --> 00:17:04.071 It would be absolutely insufferable. 00:17:05.211 --> 00:17:10.551 And they would probably destroy each other because they would each be claiming to be the chosen one and be like, no, I'm the chosen one. 00:17:10.571 --> 00:17:11.751 No, I'm the chosen one. 00:17:11.971 --> 00:17:13.151 No, I'm the chosen one. 00:17:13.171 --> 00:17:13.891 And then they'd fight. 00:17:14.271 --> 00:17:17.071 God, there's a great I mean, you should have you played wander song? 00:17:17.971 --> 00:17:19.271 I've not, but I. 00:17:19.291 --> 00:17:20.811 It's a very good video game. 00:17:20.991 --> 00:17:23.731 It explores the trope of the chosen one. 00:17:24.171 --> 00:17:25.131 Very well done. 00:17:25.511 --> 00:17:33.171 But the chosen ones tell me, tell me about why would this scratch you this itch of yours? 00:17:33.791 --> 00:17:41.171 Because I don't always want for it to happen like, oh, all the characters come together and they all think each other are rad. 00:17:41.851 --> 00:17:42.531 That's fun. 00:17:42.551 --> 00:17:43.531 And I like that. 00:17:43.831 --> 00:17:51.071 But I also kind of love the idea of all of them being forced to reckon with the fact that they're not the only chosen one. 00:17:51.311 --> 00:17:59.311 And I also just think of like, different, just the kind of the different ones and how strange it would be. 00:17:59.331 --> 00:18:01.111 I wouldn't want to be there. 00:18:01.271 --> 00:18:02.331 I would want to watch it. 00:18:02.751 --> 00:18:05.771 So the question comes up, like, who are they chosen by, right? 00:18:05.791 --> 00:18:09.371 And for each of them, it's like a different entity of sort. 00:18:10.011 --> 00:18:13.011 So do we have to bring in that entity too? 00:18:13.051 --> 00:18:16.851 And then like, do these entities, like, what happens with these entities? 00:18:17.311 --> 00:18:19.531 What we're now doing is Tazamnesty. 00:18:21.031 --> 00:18:23.171 The entities, I don't know, I guess they would. 00:18:23.651 --> 00:18:25.071 Yeah, I guess they would have to fight. 00:18:25.851 --> 00:18:26.671 Oh, okay. 00:18:27.111 --> 00:18:28.391 Would they not just merge? 00:18:29.091 --> 00:18:29.631 Oh, God. 00:18:30.171 --> 00:18:31.311 Okay, here's the thing. 00:18:31.451 --> 00:18:32.971 Here's, okay, here's it. 00:18:33.071 --> 00:18:33.731 Here's it. 00:18:34.131 --> 00:18:34.911 Here's the amalgamation. 00:18:34.931 --> 00:18:39.571 All the chosen, this amalgamation, and it will choose one. 00:18:39.591 --> 00:18:40.951 Oh, my God. 00:18:40.971 --> 00:18:42.351 Of all of the chosen ones. 00:18:42.771 --> 00:18:44.331 We've made Hunger Games. 00:18:44.351 --> 00:18:45.311 It will choose one of them. 00:18:46.051 --> 00:18:48.031 Or the anime that Hunger Games ripped off. 00:18:48.371 --> 00:18:49.151 Battle Royale. 00:18:49.171 --> 00:18:53.971 No, we've made a really good way to eliminate the chosen one trope forever. 00:18:54.571 --> 00:18:55.091 Oh, okay. 00:18:56.031 --> 00:19:10.971 When you get chosen, is it like you fight to the death and you are the chosen one, or is it just like, we're going to put 20 of these chosen ones in a house and like once a week, we're going to vote one contestant off and the final person is the chosen one. 00:19:11.271 --> 00:19:20.051 The idea of like a popularity contest for the chosen one is extremely funny because most chosen ones would lose so fast. 00:19:21.571 --> 00:19:40.731 I just love, I've never watched like a TMZ Big Brother or whatever show, but I love, I want that format of just like insufferable anime and like cartoon and even like live action heroes and chosen ones. 00:19:41.231 --> 00:19:41.951 That would be great. 00:19:42.171 --> 00:19:43.451 This is exactly what I'm saying. 00:19:43.471 --> 00:19:47.571 You see now, you see now the appeal. 00:19:47.591 --> 00:19:48.671 This is the itch. 00:19:49.251 --> 00:19:54.131 Listen, it's always cool when it's like, oh yeah, I love this character in there, hang out with this other character. 00:19:54.151 --> 00:19:57.971 But I also love when I'm just like, ugh, all these characters are boring to me. 00:19:58.211 --> 00:20:01.911 But then they're facing off against each other, and then it's fun. 00:20:02.551 --> 00:20:05.911 Sometimes you want to cheer for a winner, and sometimes you want to cheer for a loser. 00:20:07.151 --> 00:20:10.051 I can't even think of chosen ones off the top of my head. 00:20:10.431 --> 00:20:11.511 Who's in this mix? 00:20:11.531 --> 00:20:12.171 Harry Potter. 00:20:13.311 --> 00:20:14.171 He's gonna go. 00:20:14.191 --> 00:20:15.411 He's gonna go pretty quick. 00:20:15.811 --> 00:20:16.691 She-Ra. 00:20:17.411 --> 00:20:18.391 Like Adora, I guess. 00:20:18.411 --> 00:20:19.371 Both of them. 00:20:19.451 --> 00:20:21.951 They are literally both technically chosen ones. 00:20:23.551 --> 00:20:25.611 All the chosen ones from Taz Amnesty, of course. 00:20:26.531 --> 00:20:27.551 Buffy, I guess. 00:20:27.571 --> 00:20:28.731 Is Buffy a chosen one? 00:20:28.751 --> 00:20:30.311 Buffy seems like he's been chosen. 00:20:30.431 --> 00:20:32.671 Buffy is basically a chosen one. 00:20:32.891 --> 00:20:36.351 We can probably construct Super Hoolock, right? 00:20:36.451 --> 00:20:39.171 I think they're all chosen by something. 00:20:39.191 --> 00:20:39.831 Yeah. 00:20:39.831 --> 00:20:42.851 I think Sherlock probably counts as a chosen one, right? 00:20:43.191 --> 00:20:45.311 Sherlock is chosen by the government. 00:20:46.851 --> 00:20:47.871 There's definitely been. 00:20:47.891 --> 00:20:49.291 He's chosen by fate. 00:20:49.851 --> 00:20:51.251 Oh, Anakin Skywalker. 00:20:54.391 --> 00:20:58.231 We've constructed the worst TV show imaginable. 00:20:58.631 --> 00:21:00.751 I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. 00:21:00.771 --> 00:21:02.031 This is the best TV show. 00:21:02.051 --> 00:21:06.651 I went to the TV shows to pay for the chosen one, and the picture is literally of Katniss Everdeen. 00:21:06.671 --> 00:21:08.331 So I guess she's also there. 00:21:10.351 --> 00:21:10.771 What? 00:21:11.371 --> 00:21:11.731 Is she? 00:21:12.491 --> 00:21:13.031 I guess. 00:21:13.051 --> 00:21:14.031 She's not really. 00:21:14.391 --> 00:21:20.731 She's not chosen one, as in like she's a she's a political figure. 00:21:21.251 --> 00:21:24.551 So, yes, she is chosen to be like a symbol. 00:21:25.051 --> 00:21:26.271 So she is chosen. 00:21:26.291 --> 00:21:27.771 That's also true. 00:21:27.971 --> 00:21:28.831 What do you what?

00:24:09.831 --> 00:24:14.211 I was trying to think of the Shakespearean language to say, I do. 00:24:14.231 --> 00:24:15.711 I don't know what that is. 00:24:15.811 --> 00:24:16.671 Is it just I? 00:24:17.331 --> 00:24:18.351 That's one way to say it. 00:24:18.891 --> 00:24:21.551 I mean, I do also is Shakespearean language. 00:24:21.691 --> 00:24:23.191 Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?

00:24:47.031 --> 00:24:48.531 Anyway, but yes. 00:24:48.571 --> 00:24:49.411 Anyways, memes. 00:24:49.591 --> 00:24:51.311 Do you crave at me, sir? 00:24:51.431 --> 00:24:53.771 I do crave, but I do not crave at you. 00:24:58.731 --> 00:25:03.391 So, so fun, fun throwback to earlier, we were talking about being 15 twice. 00:25:04.111 --> 00:25:08.811 And one of the things that I feel like, like isn't really talked about. 00:25:09.871 --> 00:25:22.071 And my craving is the acknowledgement of the effects of puberty within queer communities from both intercommunity and a governmental like view, because brain different. 00:25:25.151 --> 00:25:26.971 Okay, that's a biggin, that's a biggin. 00:25:26.991 --> 00:25:28.951 Do you want to say more about that and what you mean by that? 00:25:29.971 --> 00:25:54.051 Yeah, so one thing, and I do specifically, you know, acknowledge that not every trans person is going to go through HRT and that also that at this point, some cis people do and have and then have like realized it's not for them and we have like, you know, there's now a term called detransing or detransitioning. 00:25:54.791 --> 00:25:55.911 And that's a whole thing. 00:25:56.071 --> 00:26:05.611 That's hard to like, you know, I think this discussion is going to evolve as this becomes hopefully easier to acknowledge. 00:26:06.031 --> 00:26:18.491 But I think the effects of how taking hormones is basically going through puberty again and anyone who has finished puberty and being like, wow, I'm so glad I never had to do that again. 00:26:18.911 --> 00:26:31.451 I definitely feel like going through puberty a second time made me realize what was part of puberty and what was just me because I now had two data points in terms of like different parts of my life. 00:26:31.951 --> 00:26:42.071 Certain aspects does come from like big feelings, like feelings get very intense in a way that is just hard to describe. 00:26:43.591 --> 00:26:49.671 But you don't have to because most people know what you mean when you say puberty creates big feelings. 00:26:50.691 --> 00:27:05.931 The hardship comes from when you're experiencing this and you have to pay rent and you have to work a job or you have to do post-secondary or you are facing financial, living hardships, et cetera, et cetera. 00:27:06.891 --> 00:27:38.031 And then on top of that, within the community at least, and this is why I say intercommunity, is I don't want to use the word drama because it belittles what is actually happening, but there is a lot of trauma that ends up as individuals, we bring into our communities and then we end up having to process and sometimes inadvertently process that in unhealthy ways that resulted in putting more trauma into said communities that we are a part of. 00:27:38.531 --> 00:27:42.631 And this ends up causing hardships, people disliking each other. 00:27:43.031 --> 00:27:52.051 Sometimes solutions just not being able to be arrived at and sometimes solutions not willing to be arrived at. 00:27:52.471 --> 00:27:54.211 I want to make a very big distinction there. 00:27:54.371 --> 00:27:56.831 And mostly I want to focus on the latter one. 00:27:57.111 --> 00:28:05.011 There are divisions, there are tears, another word for fractures, you know? 00:28:05.971 --> 00:28:10.071 And what it ends up doing is overall, sucks. 00:28:10.411 --> 00:28:35.851 And so my craving is I want to be able to have this language that acknowledges this and helps us get through these things and develop systems to give us a way to help each other with this, while still acknowledging that sometimes things just cannot be, like some breaks cannot be unbroken. 00:28:36.671 --> 00:28:45.311 I think about this a lot, not just in terms of puberty, which I think is impactful, but I think there's other things also definitely at play here, right? 00:28:45.331 --> 00:29:10.571 Like, I don't think that in general, to be trans in our society a large amount of the time is inherently traumatic, in which you live for very many years and feel off and don't understand what's going on and don't really know what the hell is up with you. 00:29:10.591 --> 00:29:21.191 And then you figure it out, and then you transition, and that often makes you marginalized in a huge way and can induce a lot of different traumas in a lot of different ways. 00:29:21.931 --> 00:29:25.631 And so, like, there's all of that on top of being... 00:29:25.651 --> 00:29:37.551 going through puberty again, being hormonal, and trying to learn in general what your life is going to be like at this point. 00:29:38.451 --> 00:29:43.231 And trying to do that in community with other people who are also going through similar things. 00:29:45.431 --> 00:29:46.171 It's rough. 00:29:46.631 --> 00:30:00.291 How do you develop trust in an environment where all of you are traumatized because you've been betrayed by a lot of people and by society at large for having transitioned or just in general for being trans? 00:30:00.831 --> 00:30:01.411 It's tough. 00:30:01.651 --> 00:30:24.231 And I feel like in general, there does need to be a little bit more just of an acknowledgement that these processes are difficult and that it's going to put you in a difficult position and that you will not, cannot, and should not have to be kind of perfect and have everything figured out from the jump. 00:30:26.631 --> 00:31:07.631 And just like to really hone in on the specifics of the craving surrounding hormones and whatnot and the puberty effects of this and how it's very hard to have discussions in the same way, not that it can't happen, because much of my learning in terms of radical politics came during puberty, my second puberty, but the ways that I interacted with discussions was from a place of intense feelings and often resulted in inability to have certain conversations. 00:31:08.431 --> 00:31:18.691 Just to get a little personal, there was like a year or two that I cut my parents out of my life because I could not have conversations with them. 00:31:19.171 --> 00:31:26.131 And you know, it's still hard, it still sucks, but I at least can acknowledge why they are like this way. 00:31:26.551 --> 00:31:29.011 And it hurts, but it doesn't hurt the same way. 00:31:29.251 --> 00:31:42.731 And so I can still be in the same room is like the difference to me, versus asking my father to literally leave was a thing I had to do once, because I could not physically be in the same room with him. 00:31:43.271 --> 00:31:44.911 Like, it's just the intensity. 00:31:45.731 --> 00:31:59.871 And as someone, I truly believe that, you know, learning comes from conversations, and often when we're upset at someone, we say, well, why didn't you Google this? 00:32:00.371 --> 00:32:02.871 And I agree that a lot of research has to come. 00:32:03.191 --> 00:32:12.091 You do have to research things, but a lot of learning comes from communication, comes from conversation, and this is my belief and whatnot. 00:32:12.111 --> 00:32:21.251 I think that intersection of that and these conversations becoming more challenging to navigate at least puts a roadblock in the way. 00:32:22.171 --> 00:32:45.951 And I think acknowledging that roadblock is the first step to making it over and really going through these hard conversations, which is all to say, from a government perspective, I mean, we don't have to think about the government perspective, but I think just in short, we treat minors differently, not always for the better legally. 00:32:46.011 --> 00:32:53.331 I think sometimes there needs to be an understanding of how puberty affects us as adults. 00:32:53.351 --> 00:32:55.111 Yeah, for sure. 00:32:55.211 --> 00:33:10.911 It's difficult with government because there's always, whenever you ask the government to help you, what they do is criminalize you or crack down or become more normal. 00:33:10.931 --> 00:33:32.951 Like, as a person on disability in which I have an income cap on the amount of income I'm allowed to earn while receiving disability benefits, I hear you be like, oh, yeah, maybe there needs to be an acknowledgement of the ways in which we are on a governmental level and the ways in which puberty affects us as adults. 00:33:32.971 --> 00:33:34.831 And alarm bells start going off in my head. 00:33:36.251 --> 00:33:37.231 It's tough. 00:33:38.251 --> 00:33:39.531 Yeah, I don't trust. 00:33:39.551 --> 00:33:42.551 You're right, because I don't trust the government to do that. 00:33:43.231 --> 00:33:47.531 I guess what I'm saying is I want a government that I can trust to do that. 00:33:48.731 --> 00:33:57.731 Because I think, I guess just to go off of a story of mine, like working alongside, within tech, there is a ton of misogyny. 00:33:57.751 --> 00:34:02.531 And not to even touch the trans misogyny, there's just a ton of misogyny. 00:34:02.791 --> 00:34:29.651 And to have these very intense feelings and acknowledge this, working alongside real adults who you expect better from, because you are like a young adult who has been told to respect authority in my case, there is a power struggle there in terms of your feelings and the acknowledgement of what they are doing is right. 00:34:29.991 --> 00:34:35.431 And the times that I have spoken up at work, I have always been burned. 00:34:35.911 --> 00:34:36.331 Always. 00:34:36.731 --> 00:34:49.351 And at least in technology, there is this faux friendship that is sort of pushed upon employees of like, trust your boss, trust your workers or like your family, etc. 00:34:49.371 --> 00:34:49.931 etc. 00:34:50.391 --> 00:34:52.051 And so you should be able to talk to them. 00:34:52.791 --> 00:34:57.651 I have had trust issues, and I still always continue to trust people for some reason. 00:34:58.011 --> 00:35:00.611 It is as much a flaw as it is a power for me. 00:35:00.951 --> 00:35:02.811 It has burned me because I have. 00:35:02.911 --> 00:35:05.391 I have listened to them and I have trusted them, and it has burned me. 00:35:05.631 --> 00:35:15.511 And so I think I can navigate that easier now, just again, reflecting my own personal experiences because this I imagine is different, because puberty is different for everybody. 00:35:15.811 --> 00:35:18.491 And that's a thing that we have to also acknowledge as adults. 00:35:18.851 --> 00:35:21.231 Anyways, and those are just my thoughts. 00:35:21.751 --> 00:35:34.351 I think puberty as adults, puberty within trans community, the way puberty changes the way that we interact and communicate and whatnot as adults specifically, is just not considered within conversations. 00:35:34.991 --> 00:35:39.851 I think in a lot of our conversations, we consider the way that being trans affects us. 00:35:40.411 --> 00:35:45.671 But what about the way that being trans and pubescent affects us? 00:35:45.691 --> 00:35:47.171 What about that axis? 00:35:47.291 --> 00:35:50.731 I just want to be like, hey, look, there's another axis to consider. 00:35:50.751 --> 00:35:52.331 That's all I'm saying. 00:35:53.371 --> 00:36:10.491 The thing that I will say is I've always found it incredibly difficult and honestly nigh impossible for me to separate the impacts of puberty on a biological level and the impacts of transition on a social level, right? 00:36:10.511 --> 00:36:19.631 Like, I think a lot about one of the things that I think is, one of the things that I think can happen when you talk about puberty in trans faces is a weird bio-essentialism. 00:36:19.651 --> 00:36:30.751 The idea that trans men, when they start testosterone, become more angry, more violent, more aggressive, that sort of thing. 00:36:30.771 --> 00:36:33.151 From my experience, is wholly untrue. 00:36:33.531 --> 00:36:53.231 Wholly untrue, and I think in a lot of cases where it is true, or at least it is perceived to be true, it is as much about that, or even less about that, as it is about having a different sort of relationship to manhood in which you are, on a kind of social level, more easily able to access that manhood. 00:36:53.491 --> 00:37:08.191 It's always complicated when you're trans in terms of what can you actually access of your gender, but there is a difference in the recognition, in people seeing you in a particular way, and what you're allowed to do because of how you're seen. 00:37:08.391 --> 00:37:11.091 Yeah, I mean, there's always the perception versus existence. 00:37:11.911 --> 00:37:12.631 Yeah, exactly. 00:37:12.651 --> 00:37:28.351 And I think it's similar with trans women in which, I think a lot about one of the things that I know I experienced and that I know is very common among trans women is you get a lot more emotional, and your emotions have a lot more depth and feel a lot stronger and more significant. 00:37:29.511 --> 00:37:35.851 So it's very common for it to be like, oh, yeah, you're just gonna cry a lot and be really emotional on hormones. 00:37:35.871 --> 00:37:37.231 And often that is true. 00:37:37.711 --> 00:38:04.971 And I think on the one hand, to me, that is definitely the effects of puberty, and it is also definitely the effects of feeling more connected to your body and less just completely dissociated all the time and being able to feel a deeper sort of joy and a deeper sort of sadness and just in general deeper emotions because you feel more connected to yourself and to your body. 00:38:05.351 --> 00:38:10.411 And so it's difficult to disentangle puberty from those impacts as well. 00:38:10.871 --> 00:38:29.111 Yeah, and I mean, it's difficult to detangle it from the social impact and just going back to your very specific point of connecting with your feelings of the social growing up, at least in like, I want to assume that people have different experiences and this isn't going to be true for everyone, hopefully. 00:38:29.311 --> 00:38:40.551 But for me and for a lot of people, the idea of like, boys don't cry growing up, the idea of like, do not connect with your emotions because that is weakness. 00:38:40.991 --> 00:38:43.531 And the thing is, I was never taught that. 00:38:43.751 --> 00:38:49.671 I am like one of the exceptions where my father specifically did not, like was not like that. 00:38:50.091 --> 00:38:51.891 Well, I learned that from my peers. 00:38:52.291 --> 00:38:58.351 Being punched in the face and then crying and being told I'm a slur, you know? 00:38:58.371 --> 00:39:02.071 That, that, it's like, oh, you punched me in anyways. 00:39:02.431 --> 00:39:04.051 It's the social aspect on top of all. 00:39:04.071 --> 00:39:23.771 It's impossible to detangle this stuff because it is unique among individuals, which is another thing that is, you know, hard to talk about it in terms of like the idea of trans men being quote unquote more aggressive and then ironically trans women being quote unquote more aggressive as well is an individual thing. 00:39:23.791 --> 00:39:27.051 It's not like, it's never going to be a general thing. 00:39:27.471 --> 00:39:30.971 There are going to be aggressive individuals. 00:39:31.751 --> 00:39:45.031 And like any population, eventually you are going to get unaggressive trans men, unaggressive trans women, as like, and those narratives, you know, will emerge. 00:39:45.651 --> 00:39:51.051 The problem is when those are pushed as the norm and the generalization. 00:39:51.071 --> 00:39:51.311 Yes. 00:39:52.211 --> 00:39:52.711 Anyways. 00:39:54.691 --> 00:40:19.831 On a related note, I think in general, you know how we all have like really difficult and cringey times when we are going through our first puberty and we're like tweens or whatever, and we are just like trying to figure out how to do gender stuff and trying to figure out how to do in general what looks and vibes we want to give off. 00:40:20.111 --> 00:40:23.191 I think we also, we should just chill out. 00:40:23.211 --> 00:40:30.471 I think we should also get like a secondary exploratory period when we kind of start just to coincide with that puberty. 00:40:30.691 --> 00:40:36.731 We can all just like take a couple of years to figure out how to do makeup maybe if we want to. 00:40:37.171 --> 00:40:38.451 If we don't want to, we don't have to. 00:40:38.451 --> 00:40:46.751 But I just think that we deserve to have just that period of time where it's just like, it's all, you know, whatever. 00:40:46.771 --> 00:40:47.591 We're all learning. 00:40:47.831 --> 00:40:49.791 And then we kind of the other side and we're all good. 00:40:50.391 --> 00:40:51.631 Freedom of expression. 00:40:52.211 --> 00:40:55.251 Freedom of expression, but also just generally freedom to... 00:40:55.711 --> 00:40:57.531 Freedom to not be judged. 00:40:58.311 --> 00:41:12.591 Freedom to not be judged for not being very good at things traditionally associated with your gender, allowing just a no judgment learning period for all of us, I think would just be great. 00:41:12.671 --> 00:41:14.071 I think we could all use that. 00:41:14.551 --> 00:41:17.991 It's less about freedom and more about developing empathy in general. 00:41:18.411 --> 00:41:19.251 Fuck, dude. 00:41:19.271 --> 00:41:20.151 I mean, yeah. 00:41:20.291 --> 00:41:23.031 And compassion, not just empathy, but also compassion. 00:41:23.651 --> 00:41:24.071 Yes. 00:41:24.331 --> 00:41:24.711 Uh-huh. 00:41:25.071 --> 00:41:27.131 Anyway, yeah, I agree. 00:41:27.931 --> 00:41:28.811 Definitely agreed. 00:41:29.271 --> 00:41:33.591 Do you have a fun craving like this one we just did?

00:53:29.851 --> 00:53:32.931 It's the drone phone, Brianna, by LG. 00:53:33.211 --> 00:53:34.631 It was never created. 00:53:34.911 --> 00:53:40.951 By the looks of it, it was going to cost $60,000, and you can't imagine why it wasn't created. 00:53:43.391 --> 00:53:44.151 God. 00:53:44.451 --> 00:53:51.051 Is this what people who thought the selfie sticks were cringy, but still wanted to use them needed? 00:53:51.071 --> 00:53:52.131 Yeah, almost certainly. 00:53:52.271 --> 00:53:52.631 Right? 00:53:52.651 --> 00:53:55.051 Like this is the, oh, I don't want to do a selfie stick. 00:53:55.191 --> 00:53:56.651 I'm too cool for that. 00:53:57.051 --> 00:53:59.911 I'm going to have a drone take photos of me instead. 00:54:00.451 --> 00:54:10.091 And like, I thought about this because I was like, oh, you know the logical, like, if drones get cheaper, drones are great for cameras and nothing else. 00:54:10.111 --> 00:54:11.791 There's no other reason to use a drone. 00:54:11.891 --> 00:54:19.371 And so I was like, oh, well, you know how like phones are basically have taken over the like, people don't buy cameras anymore. 00:54:19.391 --> 00:54:20.651 People just use their phones. 00:54:21.131 --> 00:54:23.611 The next thing is the drone phone. 00:54:23.811 --> 00:54:30.751 And then I googled drone phone and I found this, and I was so happy that someone had attempted to do it. 00:54:30.771 --> 00:54:32.151 Also, it just looks like shit. 00:54:32.331 --> 00:54:37.451 It looks like a GPU because they just put the fans in the middle of the phone. 00:54:37.911 --> 00:54:38.631 Yeah, it does. 00:54:38.631 --> 00:54:41.291 It looks like the fucking fan portion of it. 00:54:41.311 --> 00:54:42.891 Yeah, it looks like a GPU. 00:54:42.911 --> 00:54:43.571 Absolutely. 00:54:44.131 --> 00:54:45.811 This is so fucking stupid. 00:54:45.831 --> 00:54:46.331 I love it. 00:54:46.371 --> 00:54:46.871 I love it. 00:54:46.891 --> 00:54:49.391 This is what we've always wanted, right? 00:54:49.411 --> 00:54:50.151 Mm hmm. 00:54:50.251 --> 00:54:50.631 Yeah. 00:54:50.991 --> 00:55:00.451 And I was thinking about this because like we play, well, like my campaign is sci-fi and I was like, what would this planet that is hyper capitalist, what would they have, right? 00:55:00.471 --> 00:55:10.891 What would celebrity ticians, which is the term that we came up with, celebrity politicians, no inspiration whatsoever from real life, how would they go around acting? 00:55:10.911 --> 00:55:15.671 And it's like, well, of course, they'd all have drone phones, you know, filming their life 24 seven. 00:55:15.691 --> 00:55:17.851 I feel like it's probably hover phones, right? 00:55:17.871 --> 00:55:19.011 That's probably the thing. 00:55:19.451 --> 00:55:22.291 What is the difference between a hover phone and a drone phone? 00:55:22.711 --> 00:55:24.091 Well, the drone phone. 00:55:24.111 --> 00:55:25.291 Now, here's the difference. 00:55:25.511 --> 00:55:31.251 A drone phone flies through the use of a propeller or something along those lines, right? 00:55:31.271 --> 00:55:35.071 It like that type of thing. 00:55:35.111 --> 00:55:39.891 Something that's like a hover phone floats through. 00:55:41.031 --> 00:55:43.411 Uh huh. 00:55:43.591 --> 00:55:44.331 It's different. 00:55:44.431 --> 00:55:47.511 It uses technology that we've not developed yet, but definitely exists. 00:55:47.631 --> 00:55:55.211 Hover technology, as we know, one day we're going to discover that sort of thing, energy type thing that just makes it really easy for everything to just float. 00:55:55.591 --> 00:55:57.811 It's on every crate in Star Wars. 00:55:57.911 --> 00:56:02.311 It's on all things in everywhere, and it's just the hover stuff. 00:56:02.911 --> 00:56:04.951 Brianna, how do you know those crates aren't drones? 00:56:05.351 --> 00:56:06.571 There's no propellers on them. 00:56:07.051 --> 00:56:10.551 Have you ever seen the bottom of a Star Wars crate? 00:56:10.671 --> 00:56:12.511 You know the fuck I have, yes. 00:56:15.351 --> 00:56:16.731 Listen, I watch so much Star Wars. 00:56:17.251 --> 00:56:18.771 I've seen every part of that crate. 00:56:20.451 --> 00:56:28.551 I really want a drone phone because it is the only good thing that I can think of for drone technology to become. 00:56:28.851 --> 00:56:31.791 I think we could make a stupider design also. 00:56:31.911 --> 00:56:32.811 Oh, yeah. 00:56:32.831 --> 00:56:34.731 I was thinking... 00:56:35.251 --> 00:56:37.871 You know how phones used to have antennas, right? 00:56:38.251 --> 00:56:44.171 We need to bring antennas back, but at the end of those antennas, just a circle appears and a propeller. 00:56:45.671 --> 00:56:54.611 Those just go on the four corners of your phone, and now you have a four-corner drone phone, which admittedly would probably work better than this atrocity. 00:56:54.631 --> 00:56:55.991 It probably would. 00:56:56.011 --> 00:57:00.331 Because the thing is, right, you need to also be able to get it at certain angles, right? 00:57:00.351 --> 00:57:01.511 To really take good selfies. 00:57:01.971 --> 00:57:05.211 You need to be able to turn the phone on all axes. 00:57:05.591 --> 00:57:13.391 I think there's one kind of further step that we need to really make this product, which is you need to be able to control it with your mind. 00:57:15.731 --> 00:57:19.831 Because no one wants to carry around a big joystick thing to control it. 00:57:20.551 --> 00:57:22.611 Because what is even the point then? 00:57:22.631 --> 00:57:24.071 Yeah, what's even the point then? 00:57:24.091 --> 00:57:32.571 So what you need is a mind link so that you can just make it go wherever you want it to go and take pictures. 00:57:33.091 --> 00:57:38.111 Is there anything else that you think this phone needs to be the perfect drone phone? 00:57:38.511 --> 00:57:42.471 I mean, I just think it needs to be really fast, right? 00:57:42.531 --> 00:57:48.131 I was thinking about drone photography and drone videos and how smooth they are. 00:57:48.351 --> 00:57:51.971 One of the things is truly how smooth those videos look. 00:57:52.251 --> 00:57:55.411 I guess there needs to be some shake resistance. 00:57:55.851 --> 00:57:57.871 The drone phone is earthquake resistant. 00:57:58.171 --> 00:57:59.231 It's a flying type. 00:57:59.251 --> 00:58:01.671 It's a flying and steel type, and it's immune to ground. 00:58:02.171 --> 00:58:05.271 Somehow I feel like there should be a drone phone. 00:58:05.871 --> 00:58:12.451 Sometimes I somehow I feel like there should be a drone phone, Pokemon, like Rotom should have a drone phone. 00:58:12.491 --> 00:58:13.531 Rotom is a drone. 00:58:13.891 --> 00:58:15.211 Rotom flies around. 00:58:15.231 --> 00:58:17.371 Oh, yeah, I guess he just does that. 00:58:17.391 --> 00:58:18.891 But I think he needs a propeller. 00:58:20.291 --> 00:58:21.591 Give Rotom a propeller. 00:58:21.731 --> 00:58:24.231 You want to un-hover Rotom. 00:58:24.671 --> 00:58:27.031 You want to you want to give Rotom a propeller. 00:58:27.051 --> 00:58:27.751 It's meant to be. 00:58:27.751 --> 00:58:28.791 It's just mostly cute. 00:58:28.811 --> 00:58:30.691 It's like a little one of those little propeller caps. 00:58:31.051 --> 00:58:31.771 Oh, that is cute. 00:58:32.131 --> 00:58:32.811 I can see that. 00:58:33.951 --> 00:58:35.571 What if the phone had a hat? 00:58:35.891 --> 00:58:39.751 Also, I do want to just say, what if we made birds that were phones? 00:58:40.331 --> 00:58:47.631 There's so many things that I also, because my brain was also just, what about a Rotom themed phone, which I would love. 00:58:47.651 --> 00:58:48.251 I want that. 00:58:48.571 --> 00:58:49.191 Two things. 00:58:49.691 --> 00:58:52.271 First thing, of course, the phone has a hat. 00:58:52.291 --> 00:58:53.211 Yes, absolutely. 00:58:53.231 --> 00:58:56.991 That's one of the cool accessory things that customize things, right? 00:58:57.011 --> 00:58:59.511 You could put a hat on a bird pretty easily. 00:58:59.531 --> 00:59:01.271 You can put a hat on a bird pretty easily. 00:59:01.291 --> 00:59:02.611 And here's the thing, Clair. 00:59:03.011 --> 00:59:05.031 As we all know, birds aren't real. 00:59:05.611 --> 00:59:06.351 Birds aren't real. 00:59:06.371 --> 00:59:07.991 They're all just already cameras. 00:59:08.451 --> 00:59:08.991 Uh-huh. 00:59:09.051 --> 00:59:09.791 They are cameras. 00:59:09.811 --> 00:59:10.631 We just need access. 00:59:10.651 --> 00:59:11.711 They're taking videos of us. 00:59:12.031 --> 00:59:19.491 COVID was a conspiracy so that they could take their opportunity to change the batteries in the birds. 00:59:19.511 --> 00:59:21.471 This is the thing we all know. 00:59:21.691 --> 00:59:24.191 B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, bird, bird is a drone. 00:59:24.211 --> 00:59:25.991 B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, bird is a drone. 00:59:27.951 --> 00:59:34.691 So really what we need, I think the first step here, rather than, oh, how would we build a drone phone? 00:59:35.051 --> 00:59:39.211 We need to capture a bird before it is replaced with a flesh bird. 00:59:39.751 --> 00:59:44.491 Well, we need to capture a bird, and we need to ensure it isn't replaced with a flesh bird because that's what the government does. 00:59:44.771 --> 00:59:51.051 If, God forbid, something happens to a bird, and you're like, oh, okay, well, I guess I better do something about this or whatever, right? 00:59:51.071 --> 00:59:53.231 And it's bleeding or injured or something like that. 00:59:53.511 --> 01:00:02.011 It's because the government has come by in the moment that you looked away and has replaced that bird, the mechanical bird, with a flesh bird. 01:00:02.651 --> 01:00:03.691 So birds are real. 01:00:03.871 --> 01:00:06.291 They're all controlled by the government as well. 01:00:06.371 --> 01:00:08.271 The bird supply is in demand. 01:00:08.571 --> 01:00:20.751 So yeah, so there's fake birds and real birds, and the real birds are kept in government warehouses like Area 51, whereas the fake birds are all out and about doing surveillance, right? 01:00:20.831 --> 01:00:26.011 We need to make sure that the bird demand goes up so high that the bird supply can't meet up. 01:00:26.611 --> 01:00:27.351 Exactly. 01:00:27.371 --> 01:00:29.431 Then we'll catch one, for real. 01:00:30.251 --> 01:00:32.251 It's incredibly simple. 01:00:35.051 --> 01:00:39.771 In order to create a drone phone, we simply need to increase the bird supply. 01:00:39.791 --> 01:00:43.751 The bird demand, please, simple economics. 01:00:43.771 --> 01:00:44.571 The bird demand, sorry. 01:00:44.991 --> 01:00:48.431 Increase the bird demand and we will get a fucking drone phone. 01:00:48.871 --> 01:00:51.331 It's simple economics. 01:00:51.551 --> 01:00:52.631 Simple birdonomics. 01:00:53.551 --> 01:00:57.651 So how do we increase people's desire for birds? 01:00:58.391 --> 01:01:02.151 We give them little hats with propellers on them. 01:01:02.171 --> 01:01:02.651 Oh, yeah. 01:01:02.671 --> 01:01:07.071 Then everyone will want a bird, will be watching all the birds, be like, look at all these birds with hats. 01:01:08.331 --> 01:01:10.351 Yeah, we just need to glue hats. 01:01:10.371 --> 01:01:11.791 Don't do this to every bird. 01:01:12.151 --> 01:01:14.951 Which admittedly would be a lot easier with a drone. 01:01:14.971 --> 01:01:18.571 So we're going to get a drone. 01:01:19.291 --> 01:01:21.251 Okay, so here's the plan. 01:01:21.631 --> 01:01:23.271 We're going to get a simple. 01:01:23.711 --> 01:01:24.511 Very simple. 01:01:24.811 --> 01:01:29.151 We just get a drone that can like put hats on every bird. 01:01:29.171 --> 01:01:31.391 Here's the steps. 01:01:31.971 --> 01:01:34.731 We get drones which can put hats on birds. 01:01:34.731 --> 01:01:38.691 We use the drone to put hat on birds to increase the bird demand. 01:01:39.011 --> 01:01:48.511 Then there will be so many birds that they'll have to let us capture one of the mechanical birds, and then we can study the mechanical bird to make a drone phone. 01:01:48.951 --> 01:01:49.871 And then we saw the drone phone. 01:01:50.371 --> 01:01:50.871 It's simple. 01:01:51.931 --> 01:01:52.671 Wait, what? 01:01:52.691 --> 01:01:54.711 Well, that's with the drone phone. 01:01:54.731 --> 01:02:01.931 We can use the drone phone to put more hats on more birds and increase the bird demand even further so we can make more drone phones. 01:02:02.431 --> 01:02:04.191 This is a great business strategy. 01:02:04.211 --> 01:02:08.791 We were talking about infinite growth earlier. 01:02:08.811 --> 01:02:10.791 I found it. 01:02:12.091 --> 01:02:14.111 I found how to infinitely grow. 01:02:14.131 --> 01:02:16.791 Do you think there are infinite birds? 01:02:16.791 --> 01:02:18.211 There has to be, right? 01:02:18.231 --> 01:02:21.651 I mean, there's probably a large amount of birds. 01:02:21.671 --> 01:02:25.511 Our strategy kind of relies on the fact that there aren't infinite birds. 01:02:25.851 --> 01:02:29.311 We do need a limit to the amount of birds so that they do have to start running out of birds. 01:02:29.331 --> 01:02:31.371 We need a very large supply of hats. 01:02:31.931 --> 01:02:35.491 Who do you think will sell a million, billion hats? 01:02:35.511 --> 01:02:37.111 There's probably a lot of birds. 01:02:37.791 --> 01:02:38.691 Where should we start? 01:02:39.731 --> 01:02:41.451 What place has a lot of birds? 01:02:42.551 --> 01:02:44.791 I'm gonna Google a simple phrase. 01:02:45.411 --> 01:02:48.871 How many birds are there in the world? 01:02:50.031 --> 01:02:50.951 You'll probably get an answer. 01:02:50.971 --> 01:02:51.731 400 billion. 01:02:55.571 --> 01:03:01.831 We simply give every person, we give every single person 50 hats. 01:03:02.291 --> 01:03:07.751 So, okay, here's what this site is saying for the amount of birds. 01:03:07.911 --> 01:03:11.711 About 10 years ago, two scientists decided to estimate the total number of birds on the planet. 01:03:11.731 --> 01:03:13.071 I'm glad two people did it. 01:03:13.831 --> 01:03:18.551 The number that came up was 200 to 400 billion individual birds. 01:03:18.851 --> 01:03:21.431 Compared to 5 billion people, this amounts... 01:03:22.031 --> 01:03:22.431 Sorry? 01:03:22.451 --> 01:03:24.571 That's a big margin of error. 01:03:24.851 --> 01:03:25.731 But here's the thing. 01:03:25.991 --> 01:03:33.771 This means compared to 5 billion people, which I guess it was at the time that this was taken, this amounts to about 40 to 60 birds per person. 01:03:34.071 --> 01:03:39.251 Now, we know there's more people now, and probably less birds if we're being completely honest. 01:03:39.751 --> 01:03:45.671 And so, like, let's say it's more like 20 to 40 birds per person. 01:03:46.371 --> 01:03:47.411 That's really doable. 01:03:47.831 --> 01:03:49.571 Yeah, I mean, we just have to get... 01:03:49.951 --> 01:03:54.971 Everyone picks up 20 hats, and you just go to the nearest bird, and you put a hat on the bird. 01:03:55.211 --> 01:03:56.791 Yeah, and we will find all of them. 01:03:57.091 --> 01:03:58.191 We will get all of them. 01:03:58.211 --> 01:04:00.951 Inevitably, that is how the pigeon hole principle works. 01:04:01.191 --> 01:04:01.451 Eh? 01:04:01.811 --> 01:04:02.071 Eh? 01:04:03.131 --> 01:04:03.731 Eh? 01:04:03.751 --> 01:04:06.171 We gotta put the hats on the pigeons and the pigeon hole. 01:04:06.531 --> 01:04:07.391 This is a good plan. 01:04:07.831 --> 01:04:08.611 I like this plan. 01:04:09.131 --> 01:04:11.831 You know, birds don't have to wear masks. 01:04:19.876 --> 01:04:26.776 Okay, we're gonna think my crippled ass is a fucking COVID denier because of this bit that you've thrown us into. 01:04:28.816 --> 01:04:46.556 Birds understand that Margaret Mananza has a message that she wants to spread, and it's that you can go down to Margaret Mananza's anti-mask Mananza, and you can subscribe to Salt Cravings, or follow us at Salt Cravings on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 01:04:47.336 --> 01:04:50.976 And it'll tell you what else Margaret Mananza spreads. 01:04:51.016 --> 01:04:53.276 Nothing else, because COVID is fake. 01:04:53.836 --> 01:04:59.396 But what she does spread is the word through... 01:05:02.416 --> 01:05:08.996 What she does spread is the word through leaving ratings and reviews on her podcast platform of choice. 01:05:09.556 --> 01:05:11.056 Just go right, birds are fake. 01:05:11.916 --> 01:05:13.256 Just go right, birds are fake. 01:05:13.376 --> 01:05:18.696 Listen, if you're like, I wanna leave a review, but I don't know what words to say. 01:05:18.836 --> 01:05:21.436 Just right, birds are fake. 01:05:21.816 --> 01:05:22.796 Five stars. 01:05:25.996 --> 01:05:31.556 Nobody's going to listen to this stupid podcast. 01:05:31.796 --> 01:05:33.196 What else do we say?
