Summary

In 2022, the two biggest celebrities in America are Joseph J. Rogan and Critical R. Theory. Some people think one of them should be deplatformed. Others think the other should be deplatformed.

Goal is to just keep comments totally private, and this episode will be unlocking to the public on Monday. -J)

I'm good, Katie. I'm doing well. Everything is great. The world is a sunny place, and I'm

0:15.2

infused with optimism, and I don't like being sarcastic or cynical. Can you tell what

0:18.9

state I'm in? Florida. Close. I'm on the West Coast, Florida, which is California.

0:24.4

Oh, so are you in the hellscape that is San Francisco or Los Angeles?

0:29.4

People keep saying this, but it's very pleasant here. That's not what I've heard.

0:33.3

Jesse, that is not what I've heard. As soon as I mentioned on Twitter being in California,

0:37.0

people are like, oh my god, be careful. Jesse, be careful. It's so damn, and they've

0:40.7

been making sound like the entire Bay Area is a flaming wreck, which has not been my

0:44.4

experience. It's like, I don't know, as an earthy-stranger, you land here, and it's just

0:48.7

this like crazy paradise of weird ass trees and sunshine and people who are way too

in the tenderloin. Yeah, there's like this nice encampment under

underpass, and I'm trading editing services for drugs and so I'm talking a little while.

1:19.5

No, I mean, I'm providing the editing services or the drugs. Well, a little both. I mean,

1:24.5

I walked 10 miles all around San Francisco yesterday, and this is that very dumb style of like

1:29.7

faux journals and we're like, well, when I saw as the truth, most of it seems pretty normal.

1:34.5

Obviously, in like the mission, it seems a little bit rough, and there's obviously some

1:38.5

fucked up shit going on there. I do think there's maybe a little bit of a tendency sometimes
