All right. Where's my special guest, Andrew Callaghan?
Um, officially. Hey, there he is.
Here I am.
You're, you're alive. You're not full of mud.
Where, where are you calling in from?
I'm calling in from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle.
Oh my God. Nice, bro.
Good work. So, um, didn't they change the name?
Oh yeah. It's Capitol Hill occupied.
I think it's, uh, it's chopped now.
Chopped.
I still think jazz sounds cool.
Jesus Christ.
Did you get that blast too?
Did you get that blast from Vic?
Um, all right. Well, you're our eyes on the, eyes on the prize, eyes on the
scene, our man on the scene.
What's the vibe? What's the vibe there?
Is it as bad as Tucker Carlson says it is?
That's sort of the joke I'm trying to make. No, it is not as bad, but it's a,
it's kind of more like a party than it is.
Like a protest. Yeah.
So I'm not, you know, so it's definitely something interesting going on there.
It's fun.
Like I've, I saw everyone I've ever met ever known in Seattle and like a one
day period.
It's pretty much like the whole city's out in the park.
Where is it in the, in the relation to the city?
So, uh, Alex Jones says in downtown Seattle, which is in downtown Seattle.
Now if you go down downtown Seattle, if you go to the, if you go to the Pike
street market.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
You just said like the magic word that causes full explosion on the top.
So Capitol Hill is like the top of the hill above downtown.
Okay.
It's like my home neighborhood.
It's like the hipster sort of like really recently gentrified Amazon employee
neighborhood now.
Right.
And it's, is it, is it like, it's not, is it city hall?
No, city hall is in like the random ass part of town.
Right.
Public library downtown.
This Capitol is like the coolest trendiest neighborhood in Seattle.
And they just took it over this.
Yeah.
Kind of, they took over like four square blocks of it.
So like the biggest park is called, yeah, it's called Cal Anderson park.
It's like the biggest park in the city.
It's like the Dolores and San Francisco's like same idea.
They took it over.
And then the couple blocks adjacent, including the police precinct.
That's the craziest part.
The biggest cop shop in the city.
Yeah.
So the, the precinct, like when things were really getting kind of crazy with
the, with the, the first few days of the protest and the, and there was some looting
and stuff.
The cops just said, we're out of here.
Yeah.
And they won't even say, they won't say who made the call.
They're just like, the mayor's like, it wasn't me.
The chief of police was like, it wasn't me either.
But somebody was like, I'm going home out of here.
I'm going home.
This is too much.
They didn't give me my egg McMuffin.
But they've been, they've been feeding a lot of the, the houseless folks, right?
They've been kind of taking care of them.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, everything's, everything's free over there.
Everything except alcohol is free.
That's a, there's a, there's a premium on that.
So.
Yeah.
Andrew.
Um, I saw you, you've been all over the place.
You have not stopped.
This has not slowed you down.
This, uh, definitely not.
It's no greater for me because there's less people out here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you've been going out pretty much.
So you, you first started going out, uh, talking to all the people that were
protesting the masks.
Uh, those are amazing.
But what was this thing you were doing the other day where those, that Joker
gang in Florida, that is, that is a strange little subculture of our, of our
country here.
What is going on down there?
It's like, I don't know.
It's just Florida.
It's weird, man.
Well, Miami is one thing.
This is like central Florida influencer, like culture, like people trying to go
viral by like making funny faces and getting body modifications.
Right.
Like yelling at the camera.
We actually have, we're going to drop a video every day for the next four days.
All Florida, man.
We just like met up with all these people or like semi viral in Florida and
they're all like, yeah, let's do something crazy.
I was, it's funny.
Would you guys chill out when I'm talking to Andrew here?
These guys are out of control.
They're so hopped up on something today.
I just burned the hell out of my mouth.
Coffee is very hot.
Coffee is too hot.
So sorry.
I have to talk to Osha about that.
There is this, so maybe you have something to say about this, but I was this
morning, my wife was looking on Facebook and she saw this compilation of people
doing this prank where they were smacking their husbands in the head with their
handbag as they go in the car.
Have you seen this thing?
And it was like, no, it was like, it was like, it was kind of funny.
Cause he's like, it was this thing where a woman would get in the car and they
have the dash cam on and she would like go to put her bag in the backseat and
hit her husband in the head.
And then Facebook come back and hit him again.
And it's all about the reaction.
This guy being like, what the fuck?
Like, and some guys, but I was like, how do, it was clearly like an internet
thing that people got the message to do and it spread and it became like a
compilation thing.
But there is this, and I was like, how did they know to do this?
And she was like, you don't, you live in a totally different world than a lot
of people than these people.
And so like you, you find these little subcultures and sub things that are,
that exist online.
And, and you say like Florida, central Florida influencers who do body
modifications to get famous on the internet.
It's just like, it's so, uh, strange and it's so out of our, my world that it's
just, it's fascinating to see what you do.
Yeah.
Thanks man.
Yeah.
Florida man.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
So have you ever, have you felt, uh, when you were in the, in the middle of it
in, in, uh, Minneapolis did, uh, and, uh, and now you're up there in Seattle.
Did you ever, do you, do you ever like feel, or even with these joker guys, do
you ever feel like scared for your safety?
No, I only really feel scared and like super like right wing environments.
Yeah.
I mean, the protesters were awesome.
Everyone I met in Minneapolis when shit was on fire was super cool.
Yeah.
Uh, it's, it's mostly just like these, yeah.
Like the lockdown protests in California was kind of scary.
Yeah.
Did people get in your face?
But cause you're not very confrontational with anybody in any way.
Not at all, but it's just like people, people like that, especially like the
coronavirus conspiracy crowd, like they demand to be taken super seriously,
whatever they have to say.
So it's like, after we made that first video in California, we tried to cover a
second rally, which was that reopened Colorado rally at Denver at the Capitol.
And people were like beefing with us hard.
They're like, these guys are liberals.
They don't fucking believe in the truth.
Right.
They're trying to like snatch the mic out of our hands and stuff.
Shit.
Yeah.
I saw that in Philly.
Shame on all of you.
This virus ain't that serious.
In Philly, the, those guys were going after this report.
What's that?
Unicorn riot.
Is that the name of the, they're doing good work too.
Yeah.
They do great work.
Um, yeah, they are.
They're, they were just filming these guys protecting the Christopher Columbus
thing.
And this, these guys were, these guys were hitting this guy.
I mean, they were smacking him.
You could see it.
And then they took his bike and cut his tires.
Um, it's pretty, pretty.
Do they arrest those guys then?
Or just get away with that shit?
I don't know.
Uh.
Yeah.
Philly is a, Philly is a weird one because you still have like, like Irish,
Italian, urban,
racist, white population.
Yeah.
You don't see that.
Most of those people moved to the suburbs, I thought a long time ago, but.
Are you, uh, does, does the work you do make you, uh, depressed or, or, or
optimistic
about, uh, our future?
Honestly.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Uh, probably more so not optimistic about the future, but sometimes I don't
know, but I
don't know what the world's really like because I only seek out the craziest
things.
Yeah.
In a sense, my fingers on the pulse, but I mean, I think most people are just
living
day to day pretty regularly.
Yeah.
If you put your finger randomly on a population center in the United States and
walked around
that neighborhood and spent three days probably talking to people, you'd
probably be bored
out of your mind, right?
Exactly.
I'm not trying to do that.
That's the next, that's when we do your show.
If hopefully we do your show, somebody does our show.
We have to go out and sell it somewhere.
That's should be, that should be, there should always be a segment where we
just.
Create the most boring, longest, boring content where you're just talking to
somebody about
their Costco shopping list or something like that.
Yeah.
That'd be sick.
And like Salt Lake city.
Yeah.
Um, all right, man.
Well, listen, thank you for calling in.
Be safe.
And what are you going to do today?
I'm going to, I'm just going to set up my tent at the chop and I'm going to
live in
the tent for the next few days and just interview people there.
Okay.
Well, follow.
If you're not following, everybody's following you because you're an internet
sensation.
That, that, that one has to go.
You got to like lower the volume.
I'll bring it down.
It's nuts.
Is that, is that Vic Berger back there?
Yeah.
Do you want to say hi to Vic?
Hey.
Vic, I love you.
I love you too.
