Summary

Today we talk about the documentary Dick Johnson is Dead, and the ways that a filmmaker is confronting her dad's mortality. We examine the legacy of Mike Tyson, and how befuddling it is to have a man who is at once a champion, an underdog, and a villain. We learn about the appeal of perversity and why people are inclined to look at train wrecks and be violent without any apparent payoff. Susie reveals the ways influencers, YouTubers, and TikTokers adjust their speech for their videos unknowingly. And we hear why Norway is cracking down on influencers' altered images.

I'm Sarah Rose and we are here to entertain. What if we just didn't have anything to say this time?

0:26.3

Well, that's impossible. I always have stuff to say. There's like a million things I can update you on on so you can be a subject I guarantee I can talk about it for. I'm good. I just worry. Yeah, because like what if we do come. Okay, this is going to go dark real quick. Okay. Okay.

0:45.0

I'm very light. So I'll. Okay. This is Susie being revelatory and sharing something secret that I normally don't. Okay. Oh, let's see. So you know, sometimes I have dark periods. And I have, you know, trigger warning about, you know, like wanting to get out of this earth. Okay. So like, you know, sometimes it gets real serious. And I'm like, I got to get out of here. Meaning life.

1:13.0

Oh, it's okay. So those are what can I do? Thank you, Sarah. That's so nice. Okay. I was here. And so I thought I need to come up with like a system where like I almost say, okay, fine, you can do that. But then I have to qualify it. So my qualifier was.

1:38.6

You can do that once you finished reading everything on your book list. Susie, but keep in mind, I add books every day. Okay. Everybody, you need to go talk, talk, talk, go to Susie's Instagram, Twitter, recommend books. No, no, no, it's.

1:57.6

This was long. This is why it's a great plant. That is not ever going to end. Right. I have so many, so much I want to learn and so much I still need to read in this world and figure out.

2:11.8

So I will do that. Your, your thirst for knowledge and information is. That's saving my life. Yeah, and saving your life. That's beautiful. But I do feel like everybody had something.

2:26.6

Oh, yeah, I mean, I we've been there. I've been there. Yeah, like what is it? What is it? What is it? Yeah, what does it matter? And then you just have to like, I feel like.

2:38.6

Those are the times where I tried to zoom in and focus on the small things. Look at a tree or a flower or the moon.

2:47.6

Sometimes that would not work for me, but sometimes it would. So I had to find like a full proofer. No, because the mind tricks you and tells you like, he'd be better off.

2:58.6

You know, when you're in there, really, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean, for real, that's what happens. That's why people end up doing it because their mind lies to them and says, you know, the world would be better off without you. It's a trick. But I'm just saying it happens to people sometimes.

3:14.6

Yeah. So anyway, the point of this story was that I feel the same way about our topics. Like if we ever run out of topics, it's similar.

3:24.6

It's a similar problem. Yes, it is a similar problem. We have wonderful people who like keep, you know, us.

3:32.6

Mm-hmm. Talking because they send us wonderful things. And like, you can pick any subject and I will guarantee like I got at least a couple hours of material on it. Yeah. And like, even if nobody wants to hear, listen to people fascinating.

3:48.6

This earth is fascinating. So we will continue talking about how fascinating it all is. Okay.

3:54.6

Excuse me. I just birked a little. I love how you're in a mood today. It's cracking me up. I am in a mood. I'm in a series recording. Sarah was like, I had coffee and now I can't quit talking. Oh my God. Like, I should not drink coffee. Like Sarah on note, no, like on natural, no, nothing in my system. Yes.

4:14.6

And then I have coffee. Oh my God. I do feel like I feel like my heart's going to explode. And I cannot sit still in my chair. I have to like take deep breaths. You are.

4:26.6

You're a live wire. That is why wire right now. So like, who knows what I'm going to say. I embrace it. Okay. First of all, let me just say, if you're not in our documentary club, I think you should join because.

4:41.6

Yes. Fucking documentaries are so great. So great. And the one that we chose for August was Dick Johnson is dead, which sounds ridiculous. And kind of is, but explores ideas about mortality.

4:55.6

And you know, your relationship with your parents and what happens when they are at the end of their life and all that stuff. But it's framed in this bonkers setup where this filmmaker convinced her to like simulate his death in a million different ways.

5:10.6

God, that's so funny. And he agreed probably because he's the best thing ever. Did you watch it yet, Sarah? I have not. Well, let me just make a tick tox. What can I say?

5:21.6

So if and when you do just remember this man who's like 80 or something, 85 maybe is like my ultimate man. He is the coolest, most charismatic charming. He's a psychiatrist.
