00:30:06.420invest resources politically i think it's you know it better than i do i know you always disagree
00:30:11.980with me but when i look at the vote margins i'm like if we wait if we actually actually you guys
00:30:17.240want you guys want a really spicy to the flaming hot thought crime and this is a thought crime
00:30:21.800that's specific uh specifically endemic to this podcast i would rather live in new mexico than
00:30:28.120Arizona. What? Wow. Why? Do you have like a meth addiction? No, because of Santa Fe. Oh, Santa Fe is cool. Yeah, Santa Fe is fine. I call it every state blue. Isn't Cape May? Time out. Super Lib? Santa Fe is so lib. Isn't Cape May? So is Cape May? Well, actually, Cape May is not. Cape May is not. That's not true. That's not true at all. Okay. No, I like Santa Fe. I think Santa Fe is cool.
00:30:58.120i think the reason i actually had every state blue like every it's also the oldest city in
00:31:02.940america i am generally a tolerant guy who can you know i can live pretty easily in most places i
00:31:07.600lived in dc it was fine even though obviously it's lib and taxing and all of that and that's
00:31:13.880obviously going to be a problem if you live in new york or chicago but california has the special
00:31:19.800vulnerability to truly deranged dsa driven extremism in a way that i think no other state
00:31:28.240has like i think only california has it bad actually mexico has some but california when
00:31:33.460they came after charlie and they just they did it to they uh i'm not talking about ghoul i'm not
00:31:38.340talking about ghouls who throw firebombs even though that's a problem but that happens in a
00:31:42.320lot of places i'm talking california is the sort of place where you will get them to just pass a
00:31:48.300law where they'll just take 40 percent of your money as like an excise wealth tax which they're
00:31:53.160voting on in a couple months that is california's special breed of horrible and it's way too crowded
00:31:57.820like it stresses one out to be in any city of california i feel because it's been illegal to
00:32:05.040build any new roads there since probably elvis presley was alive and just i don't know i get
00:32:13.400shakes every time i'm in california don't like it something is wrong there but my feeling about
00:32:20.200utah and actually that's how i felt about utah even before um what happened last year and i've
00:32:25.320just always felt kind of weirded out there my my litmus test here is just is there somewhere there
00:32:31.000that i could live and like and really really like to live there okay that's what i'm saying about
00:32:38.520Like, yeah, I would say that about Santa Fe, New Mexico, Cape May, New Jersey, you know, certain parts of like certain parts of Delaware, I suppose.
00:32:46.980But like the Florida, that's what I put as my solid blue is like, would I actively look at buying property there?
00:33:28.560movie kind of thing. He's got this great
00:33:30.440line in it he said it's like somebody took the country and shook it from the east coast and
00:33:35.480everybody sane managed to hold on and everybody else fell into california and i mean there is a
00:33:41.620there is some truth to that all right it is especially that's a great we have multiple
00:33:45.480requests from the audience they say they want us to speculate what would charlie's map have looked
00:33:50.380like if he did this and i'm really wondering about that obviously arizona blue he loved montana um
00:33:56.380he he talked about how he'd have to flee to florida if the if the libs here got to aggro on
00:34:02.440on turning points so we know florida's blue florida he visited maine a lot um he visited
00:34:08.160montana a lot he visited montana he uh he liked boise i feel i remember him liking uh when we
00:34:15.100went to that christian school there um he always talked about alaska he talked about alaska that's
00:34:20.520true uh he used to complain about he's the politics in california he loved california
00:34:28.160would he have would he go back ever to illinois could he tolerate illinois at all or was that
00:34:32.500permanent exile he loved it there but i don't think he would have ever lived there again
00:34:38.240you know it's funny about that when the very beginning the very early days when i first uh
00:34:44.540met charlie he was so hardcore about illinois he was like this is the greatest state you can't
00:34:49.680convince me otherwise, greatest that you can't convince me otherwise. The best people. He loved the people. One time, so we had taken our entire staff after training to a Cubs game. It was my idea. It was like the first time that we'd ever funded a team builder because Turning Point didn't have enough money before that to do like team building. So we'd bought cheap seats and kind of nosebleeds at Wrigley, which is still pretty expensive. But he was like, oh yeah, Cubs games are the best. He was a huge Cubs fan, right? And so he and I drove in his car, like he drove me and we went all the way
00:35:19.580into the city and so he started from his house to drive all the way into the city and it took like
00:35:23.320legitimately like two and a half hours i'm like while we were going and then we got near the
00:35:28.040stadium there was nowhere to park and like i was like like throughout i was just like slowly
00:35:33.100working on i'm like man this is not really great this is like a really bad like the situation he's
00:35:38.700like no no it's fine it's fine it's fine and then when he moved out here he loved the convenience
00:35:43.780factor he loved because it was really covid that got him permanently out here it was a little bit
00:35:48.500before COVID, but I'm trying to think of Erica,
00:35:50.780after starting date Erica and then that,
00:35:52.400but like, then he was like here and then he was like,
00:35:54.660oh yeah, this is so much, this is so much of the convenience
00:35:56.800factor because he lived his life that was like.
00:35:58.280Well, he also loved the sun and the topography.
00:51:06.840Yeah, so Life of Brian is, it's kind of like catfishing in a sense, except that it's innocent in the sense that it's non-deliberate catfishing.
00:51:17.420Basically, this guy Brian gets born, like, down the road from Jesus, but, like, all of the signs line up, and then he spends the rest of his life kind of getting mistaken for Jesus all along the way.
00:51:30.920And it's a very funny, famous, you know, Monty Python movie.
00:51:34.820It's where Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is from.
00:51:36.940It's from that one as he's being crucified.
00:51:39.400And there's a, you know, there's just a lot of, you know, really, really funny, highly quotable scenes from it.
00:51:46.280And, you know, obviously the difference being in that case is that he did not do it deliberately.
00:51:52.260But people start following him thinking he's the Messiah because, well, you know, they just were really looking for that Messiah.
00:51:57.960makes it checks out um wait this is kind of related we do have male nfl cheerleaders we do
00:52:06.180but i i feel like there's got to be something really wanted so these guys are faking being
00:52:10.820nfl players but what does what does this mean about women is it just that they like
00:52:17.600could could could a guy could could a woman get away with this level of thing i don't i don't1.00
00:52:23.220feel like a white guy could get away with this probably not well maybe they could claim yeah1.00
00:52:27.700quarterback or something if they they could no and not not within not with nfl but it would be
00:52:33.900like this is how like girls on only fans and and like cam girls and stuff this is how that all
00:52:39.680this operates there's so much catfishing of guys that goes on probably i would go so far as to say
00:52:44.480there is more catfishing of guys that goes on pound for pound in the world than of women there's
00:52:51.160a lot of catfishing of guys but the catfishing of guys the fraud is just them pretending to like you0.59
01:06:47.380He said you have to reduce energy because he did the press conference today.
01:06:51.440And he said you have to reduce energy cost in the community.
01:06:54.180You have to be associated with reducing energy cost.
01:06:56.360And you actually have to provide something of value to the place where the data center is being put into whatever that community is that's being affected.
01:07:05.000And if you're not doing that, then these things just aren't going to fly.
01:07:09.900Imagine if I will say, imagine if we applied that set of expectations to like literally any of the horrible pieces of crap that we build in our towns all of the time.
01:07:17.940Like actually, before you build this homeless shelter, you have to prove that it will lower energy costs and like provide value to the community.
01:07:25.020yeah i'm just wondering if like data centers or like the meth clinics or like uh light or like
01:07:32.320every vape shop and every payday lender this is a question i actually have on the tech does it
01:07:37.640matter where a data center is built because if i'm a data center and i'm location agnostic and
01:07:43.460americans are like you got to build a power plant and all this stuff i'm just going to like dubai
01:07:48.140you know what i mean they want they like um as far as i know it needs to be closer to either a
01:07:54.120power plant uh or a um or like a like a strong electric grid because yes okay but because of the
01:08:00.500of the loss of the loss that you know over yeah but they're saying they're talking about shooting
01:08:05.260data centers into space like this is like a real thing that probably is going to happen there's a
01:08:08.960bit of a latency issue well some of it is we don't we don't want the stuff in like rival countries so
01:08:14.780we don't want but i'm saying like if spacex is going to shoot up all these like data centers
01:08:19.160into space obviously the location is somewhat irrelevant i mean dubai is the same as well that's
01:08:25.940only if you could do it in space so i'm just saying like obviously china if i'm agnostic
01:08:31.980about location and americans are wigging out about it does it matter i guess is like a question that
01:08:38.120i haven't heard anybody ask well it's so i think i want to say like as long as you're within the
01:08:42.340united states technically like once it's going it doesn't matter that much but like where they
01:08:46.980want to build them but where they want to build them is like okay well where do you have power
01:08:50.720plants where do you have power plants where do you go but no no like they don't because they need
01:08:54.940they usually need to build extra power stuff and like you need good transmission back they're
01:08:59.600building them in mexico like it's not a coincidence that the most data centers have been built in like
01:09:05.360loudon county and in the bay area because those are like the most developed parts of the u.s
01:09:09.960like by default it's best to build them in the most densely developed parts of the u.s
01:09:15.560if you're going into random rural areas it's because you think it'll be easier to get permits
01:09:20.800and land and all of that infrastructure is not there which that's why i'm like i'm saying i don't
01:09:25.820know i don't know exactly the reasons for it but but what blake's saying is correct is that it's it
01:09:31.080it just works out better for them and that's of course what's what's annoying and i'm not saying
01:09:35.500that i'm not i'm not making the argument i'm just saying that's why they're doing it and of course
01:09:40.140this is what creates so many um you know pressures with the local communities uh jack why don't you0.99
01:09:45.920take us home this has been fun especially the ai ai hoes as jack jack advocates for ai bot hoes1.00
01:09:55.800yeah look i'm saying i'm saying look look you know if the if the if the gooners the gooners0.99
01:10:04.000are going to need something right as long as it's not as long as it's not an actual american
01:10:08.380an actual American girl, then I think that is a step up.
