Speaker 3: car yeah, Thomas Guide for.

Speaker 3: Yep, not great, but what why should it be, you.
Speaker 4: Know, taking one for the team, you guys.
Speaker 1: Turns out a lot of the things that were like
Speaker 1: greasing the wheels of our applications was like their desire
Speaker 1: to rob you blind.
Speaker 4: Listen, listen, Jesus had his cross front to carry the ring.
Speaker 4: We have proton.
Speaker 6: Wow, I feel good, I know, Jesus.
Speaker 4: Oh good, it's a good thing.

Speaker 3: replace anything with you is withel.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I want to see him. I want to see I
Speaker 3: want to see washing the feet of the tax collector.
Speaker 3: I want to see it all.
Speaker 4: Oh, Mary Magdalene washing Smgel's feet with her hair.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wow, we can make us really weird guys, Like I.
Speaker 3: Can see being so weird trying to resurrect Lazarus and
Speaker 3: ship and yeah, like anything, maybe we don't make Maybe
Speaker 3: I think Lazarus would have wanted it this way rather
Speaker 3: than freaky dude with a loin cloth all bvery over him,
Speaker 3: was just walking around in a loin cloth?
Speaker 1: Or is that just because one of his most iconic
Speaker 1: moments happened on the cross cloth?
Speaker 4: Yea, like on the cross it fits aesthetic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but for some reason, I don't want to see
Speaker 3: and that choicethetic. I'm going to take off my pants, sir.
Speaker 3: You don't have to do that before the crucifixion. No, no,
Speaker 3: I want to be up there.
Speaker 1: We have talked before about some theories being floated that
Speaker 1: Jesus had a foot thing, and I had forgotten the
Speaker 1: story about Mary Magdalene washing his hair, washing his feet
Speaker 1: with her hair, washing his hair with her.
Speaker 3: Feet would be.
Speaker 4: Directions that would be.
Speaker 3: Like, yo, Jesus couldn't escape the fucking rumors if that happened.
Speaker 3: He was his damn hair with her feet. The is
Speaker 3: wrong with him? I don't know, bro, he bailed me
Speaker 3: out of my party now I didn't have enough wine food.
Speaker 1: But I suspect that, like, there's lots of evidence of
Speaker 1: the foot fetish thing that I just don't know the
Speaker 1: Bible well enough to know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, well, the.
Speaker 1: Hair foot thing is like that that feels like you know,
Speaker 1: usually he's like.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, He's he's always the one who's like no, no,
Speaker 3: no, no no, like I I serve you. But then when
Speaker 3: it comes to like washing his feet, washing his feet
Speaker 3: with her hair, he's like, yeah, okay, we can do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Usually yeah, usually he's like nope, I'm yeah.
Speaker 3: Get in between those toes. Do you know so much.
Speaker 4: About the Bible? Is this of Miles?
Speaker 3: He's also a tortured Catholic. Yeah, yeah, all right, I
Speaker 3: just yeah, I had. I had Lutheran school, just crammed
Speaker 3: in my brain from kindergarten to eighth grade, and then
Speaker 3: switched to Catholicism for high school.
Speaker 4: And I was like, yo, great, oh got it.
Speaker 3: All, you know, got it all? Like then, I remember
Speaker 3: a couple of times we go to Presbyterian like youth
Speaker 3: group because like a bunch of kids I knew and
Speaker 3: like middle school were going and I was like, what
Speaker 3: the fuck, y'all don't even swear in here? We are twelve.
Speaker 3: We should be saying the F word. Okay, is that real?
Speaker 3: What saying? Yeah? No, I did Presbyterian school. I went
Speaker 3: to a No, I went to a Presbyterian like youth
Speaker 3: group thing because like other kids I knew, like kids
Speaker 3: who weren't fully like on some Jesus stuff. We're like, yo,
Speaker 3: it's fun, dude. We do like scavenger hunts around the
Speaker 3: city or whatever. And I went and like everything, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: not even with like the very wholesome like the scavenger
Speaker 3: hunt was like tell a stranger, they're a good like.
Speaker 3: It was like weird, Like this wasn't it wasn't fun.
Speaker 3: It was like doing like christ stuff out in the open.
Speaker 1: Endow watch somebody's feet with your hair, with your hair,
Speaker 1: that is difficult for those of us with short hair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the time, I I think I was recruited.
Speaker 3: I had very long, luscious hair. Good great for feet washing.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we're gonna do a segment of Stroyd Watch.
Speaker 3: Season one of the show.
Speaker 1: We used to do bloyd Watch where we would take
Speaker 1: a look at the tabloids.
Speaker 2: That's fucking go go.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna we're we're just gonna check in.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: The ticker keeps the percentage ticker keeps ticking upwards still
Speaker 1: like in the threes.
Speaker 3: So I love that we like get focused like it's
Speaker 3: up to three percent rather than there's a ninety seven
Speaker 3: percent chance it doesn't hit no man, but that three percent, Bro,
Speaker 3: we're here for it.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: They already knows it's a sickness.
Speaker 1: But first, yam, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: this is something you may know about us.
Speaker 2: We like to ask you.
Speaker 3: What's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 3: you are?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so I became a father about three months ago. Congratulation,
Speaker 5: Thank you very much. And I have a lot of
Speaker 5: I have a lot of fatherhood related Google search things
Speaker 5: that could give you, But instead I'm going to do
Speaker 5: something that is sort of a knock on effect of
Speaker 5: becoming a father. My most recent Google is phono have
Speaker 5: to be so loud? Question Mark because I have fulfilled
Speaker 5: my elder millennial from Portland, Ore again destiny, and I've
Speaker 5: gotten into vinyl records finally, high Fire or what I
Speaker 5: got myself a High Fi because I want my kid
Speaker 5: to grow up around as few screens as possible, is
Speaker 5: the lie I'm telling everyone, And I was like to
Speaker 5: do that, I'll just start getting into records. And in
Speaker 5: the last like week, I have like I bought a
Speaker 5: turntable and speakers off eBay and like had to run
Speaker 5: the wires all like all this shit. Myself, I did
Speaker 5: not realize how deep like this hiphi culture goes, and
Speaker 5: how like how kind of how technical you have to
Speaker 5: be with everything. So my last one was why why
Speaker 5: do I have to have my volume so loud when
Speaker 5: I'm on phono mode coming from my turntable? And I
Speaker 5: only kind of have an answer, but h yeah, I
Speaker 5: have dove headlong into record collecting.
Speaker 3: Final, did you have like a I mean feel like
Speaker 3: every millennial has some records because that kind of just
Speaker 3: was like a thing we'd buy, I like in the
Speaker 3: years past. But do you have did you have like
Speaker 3: a big collection to grow or you're you're suddenly now
Speaker 3: you're like I need to get everything you.
Speaker 5: Have like a decent collection because my wife had like
Speaker 5: one of those Crosley all in one.
Speaker 3: Like yeah this speaker built in yeah yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 5: But much like Funkco pop figurines. I think when you're
Speaker 5: a millennial, you just accumulate records, right, And I had
Speaker 5: over the years always telling myself like I'll get into
Speaker 5: it one day. So I had like a decent collection
Speaker 5: of stuff. Beatles like Queen, you know, a couple of
Speaker 5: David Bowie like all the stuff you buy and you
Speaker 5: hope someone sees when you when they come back to
Speaker 5: your house either or otherwise, you know, and you're like.
Speaker 3: And you keep point.
Speaker 5: I just have these. I'm just the kind of guy
Speaker 5: who has these.
Speaker 7: So that.
Speaker 3: The conversation blurred out, the sound is so much warmer.
Speaker 3: What are you talking?
Speaker 2: The record?
Speaker 7: Vinyl?
Speaker 3: Vinyl pops Vinyl?
Speaker 5: Did you see that letter from playing Parenthood on the
Speaker 5: kitchen table? I donate, donate regular I'm in the President's circle.
Speaker 5: So but I'm do I've I've dove in and I
Speaker 5: love it. I know I have. I think one of
Speaker 5: the things of getting older and becoming less cool and
Speaker 5: throwing off also being a dad, is I just don't
Speaker 5: have time to care about anything except what actually like
Speaker 5: makes me happy or what I feel like will make
Speaker 5: my family happy. And this makes me happy. And I
Speaker 5: don't care how much of a cliche it makes me,
Speaker 5: because it makes me the most cliche the most. But
Speaker 5: we were like I brought I brought my son out
Speaker 5: to play on his mat, listening to like Father John Misty,
Speaker 5: you know, as he played on his mat, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: should I change his name to Bowie.
Speaker 3: Oh you're love this. Listen to this, Geez Jesus Cross.
Speaker 3: He was actually in Fleet Foxes. He was the drummer.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he left.
Speaker 5: There's kind of a song about it. Two States the
Speaker 5: South because he lived in Washington with but yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: fully embracing it. My I'm like, we were talking about
Speaker 5: Dad shoes earlier, Dad shoes.
Speaker 3: Vinyl Dad shoes.
Speaker 1: Six gels have like that gel feel in the bottom,
Speaker 1: Like can you feel the gel like that? I had
Speaker 1: this one experience where the point guard on my high
Speaker 1: school basketball team let me wear his Allen Iverson Gel
Speaker 1: react juice shoes.
Speaker 3: I think you're talking about the question threes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like technology could like feel the technology in
Speaker 1: the shoe, and I was like, this is the coolest thing.
Speaker 1: And then, like you know, I gave him a shoes
Speaker 1: back and never felt that again. And I've always been
Speaker 1: kind of searching for that, but my brand, the loyalty,
Speaker 1: prevents me from searching too deep.
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that what the ACEX gels do well? DMX technology
Speaker 3: was I think you're talking about the ones that had
Speaker 3: I forget what number version of the Allen Iverson shoe,
Speaker 3: but the ones that had the d m X and
Speaker 3: the soul felt like the squishiest I remember. But these
Speaker 3: are like they're just comfortable. It's not like the kind
Speaker 3: of thing where gimmicky you're just like it is comfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm a gimmicky. I'm a gimmicky bitch.
Speaker 5: If you do, you put a peanut butter and jelly
Speaker 5: saying what your se that.
Speaker 3: It? It was the moment the shoe went from being
Speaker 3: the question to being the answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it became the answer to my lifelong question
Speaker 1: of how I feel that squash?
Speaker 5: Yeah? How got? How can I feel like I'm putting
Speaker 5: my foot in a gusher?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly. I want to feel like I'm walking.
Speaker 3: Would be a great collapse, free bocking gushers. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: like just one over. The energetic step ruins the shoe, like.
Speaker 5: Scorting out the side.
Speaker 3: I got blue blue everywhere.
Speaker 8: Of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miles with something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Uh, something I think is underrated? Wait where did I say? Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why was i I'm like, why am I even looking
Speaker 3: this up? I was just talking about unintentionally bad music. Okay,
Speaker 3: I love music, and I don't know if you guys
Speaker 3: know this. I like music Okay, I'm kind of going
Speaker 3: out on a limitar to say that out loud on
Speaker 3: a podcast.
Speaker 2: But this guy likes music.
Speaker 3: This guy's got one thumb and loves music. And one
Speaker 3: of the algorithms served me a.
Speaker 2: Track to thumb. Don't worry about it. Why am I
Speaker 2: own thumb?
Speaker 3: Trial? Who cares? But one of the algorithms served me
Speaker 3: like this track that I just cannot get out of
Speaker 3: my head. And a lot of people are watching like
Speaker 3: it's it's like blowing up on social media. But people,
Speaker 3: I think are making fun of the songs. I, on
Speaker 3: the other hand, I'm like, these are so sincere and
Speaker 3: literal that I fucking love it. Just allow me to
Speaker 3: play just an excerpt of one of these tracks, just
Speaker 3: because I want. I just want to familiarize the audience
Speaker 3: with this one.
Speaker 1: Now, my heart alter, I'm still not over it.
Speaker 3: That's not anyway.
Speaker 1: So so this is just like Rando people in the
Speaker 1: Bay Area, they're singing, they're singing, like actual song.
Speaker 2: That's the band.
Speaker 3: Oh po Mal Paul O'Malley people, everybody got a short, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's po Mal or p mal or some ship. His
Speaker 3: name's like Peter O'Malley or so he's like he does
Speaker 3: like Broadway type singing, but he's kind of doing like
Speaker 3: R and B with this other guy who's like a producer.
Speaker 3: These again, a lot of people watch like with a
Speaker 3: sense of irony, and I am so captivated because I
Speaker 3: think I referenced a tweet on Blue Sky that was
Speaker 3: about like how the world would be better if people
Speaker 3: just made whatever the fuck they wanted to art wise,
Speaker 3: and we just don't stop giving a fuck about bad
Speaker 3: art or whatever. Yeah, this is so I don't know why,
Speaker 3: but it was so life affirming to see like people
Speaker 3: enjoy themselves by expressing themselves to whatever medium pleases them,
Speaker 3: and despite it maybe not being quote good or whatever,
Speaker 3: like the sincerity cuts through in a way that I
Speaker 3: was like, this is just this is something I don't know,
Speaker 3: I just like really enjoy it. There's another song about
Speaker 3: the lyrics. Are you think I'm the one like We're
Speaker 3: on the run And I'm like, what does that even mean?
Speaker 1: Like we're on the run, Like we're on the run.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, whatever, dude, I love these sixth grade lyrics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is like music is partially about
Speaker 1: just tapping into that like just feeling of being in
Speaker 1: middle school and crush and being like so dumb.
Speaker 3: That's why these dudes who are like in their late
Speaker 3: twenties I think are just killing It. Was like, like
Speaker 3: you're saying this sounds like a note I would write
Speaker 3: when I got broken up within fifth grade. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: I'm just not over it. Yoh fucking cutting through.
Speaker 1: Hard note My one time my sister's friend got broken
Speaker 1: up with in a note and the guy signed off
Speaker 1: by going, things change, people change, and nothing ever stays
Speaker 1: the same. And the degree to whitch, like just speaking
Speaker 1: to exactly what we're talking about, Like that was such
Speaker 1: a bar that, Like she told me about it and
Speaker 1: I've never forgotten it.
Speaker 3: I'm like your older sisters, right, yeah, my older how
Speaker 3: many years older at this point? Like what's the age difference?
Speaker 3: So she's coming, oh two years every funny you're like
Speaker 3: six and she's twelve, Like hey, hey, hey, I got
Speaker 3: to tell you about this really quick.
Speaker 1: No, it was like her friends were like cool, interesting
Speaker 1: like people.
Speaker 2: So I was just invested and they broke up. What happened?
Speaker 1: People change, things change, people change, nothing ever stays the same.
Speaker 2: That ship is a bar from from.
Speaker 1: Like a song like that that should be a lyric
Speaker 1: in a song that goes fucking platinum, but it's dumb
Speaker 1: as hell as dumb as hell.
Speaker 2: All right, uh underrated.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: I was just talking to people over the weekend, who.
Speaker 1: You know, fellow dads, and about like kids move, Like
Speaker 1: all the kids have the same kind of general genre
Speaker 1: of movies that they like want, like become obsessed with,
Speaker 1: and it's just like you know, you watch it one
Speaker 1: hundred times, like that's normal, like Star Wars, and then
Speaker 1: like just talking about the fact that mine was Jaws,
Speaker 1: which is solicited an alcoholic sheriff whose death drive sends
Speaker 1: him into the heart of the ocean with like a
Speaker 1: man who's cucking him, and like wait, what h Cooper
Speaker 1: in the book is having an affair with his wife
Speaker 1: and like there's some tension in the movie, okay, And
Speaker 1: then Quinn is like the human death drive personified. A
Speaker 1: child that was like just a couple of years older
Speaker 1: than me gets like burst like a blood grape, and
Speaker 1: like all the kids today have like finding Nemo and
Speaker 1: cars and cars too, and like I guess I'm just
Speaker 1: at that point where like my kids are now at
Speaker 1: ages that I can remember and being like that's so
Speaker 1: wild that at that age, my thing, like my kids
Speaker 1: things are legos and and you know, Chess and Star
Speaker 1: Wars and you know, my oldest is like into via
Speaker 1: Star Wars. He's like gotten real into like military history,
Speaker 1: which is a little more. But I was like deep
Speaker 1: at the age of my six year old. I was
Speaker 1: like deep into this movie that was had so many
Speaker 1: like adult you know how like the things that they
Speaker 1: rate movies on is like adult themes.
Speaker 2: There's just so many adult themes.
Speaker 1: Like there's a line where he's like you want to
Speaker 1: get drunken mess around with his wife.
Speaker 3: And You're just like like, yeah, this is what happens
Speaker 3: when like child development wasn't really like a thing. There
Speaker 3: was the philosophy there.
Speaker 2: He was like old Disney movies. I think.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, which is wild to me though too,
Speaker 3: because I my dad would show me a ton of
Speaker 3: weird art house films, like I remember watching like Erase
Speaker 3: Her Head or like Naked Lunch and shit when.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could barely handle that as a forty year.
Speaker 3: I just I remember being bored. I was like, this
Speaker 3: shit isn't black and white, this ship is dumb. I
Speaker 3: just and then but obviously I'm like this is some
Speaker 3: really intense visual shit going on in it. Like I
Speaker 3: won't shake, like the dancing chicken thing from it. I
Speaker 3: can't for whatever reason.
Speaker 7: That really bothered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like a little sperm baby, yeah, always flying around.
Speaker 3: Then the other thing was like but then I would
Speaker 3: watch Bamby and then like the mom gets killed, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: so my parents are like, well, at least the racerhead
Speaker 3: to have like some like you know, Mattress Side kind
Speaker 3: of shit happening in the beginning. I don't know. It
Speaker 3: was just very uh, I don't know, I think, And
Speaker 3: then maybe my parents use that to be like, well
Speaker 3: he cried watching Bamby. But these experimental art house films
Speaker 3: and early Tarantino works are.
Speaker 1: Fine when you watched early Tarantino.
Speaker 3: Like I watched every Tarantino movie like within a year
Speaker 3: of it coming out. Yeah, Like so I saw Reservoir
Speaker 3: Dogs when it hit tape. I saw Pulp Fiction when
Speaker 3: it hit tape, So.
Speaker 1: That would have been like you were eight, yeah, well
Speaker 1: Pulp Fiction was like ninety four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was like ten eleven.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean just be like watching the gimp scene and
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know what's going on, Like I
Speaker 3: remember just fully watching that. I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: are they doing? Like just like not completely all of
Speaker 3: like how graphic it was was completely lost on me
Speaker 3: until obviously I got older. I was like, Yo, that guy,
Speaker 3: look at they get in the mask. Oh dude, the
Speaker 3: gimps coming out.
Speaker 2: It's so funny.
Speaker 3: What a goof.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Diehard was my favorite movie when I
Speaker 1: was in third grade.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was there with you.
Speaker 3: We're all fucked up.
Speaker 1: It's all fucked up now. Yeah, a lot of jokes about.
Speaker 2: Him at that tentel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Caitlin Gil we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 1: what is something that you think is overrated?
Speaker 9: Stop putting so much stuff on French fries. They just
Speaker 9: alone as a delicious side. They do not t So
Speaker 9: this is the West Coast problem that I feel like
Speaker 9: exists everywhere. But if you've gone to an in and
Speaker 9: out Burger, you are aware that you can order an
Speaker 9: animal fry, which is all the animal style stuff on
Speaker 9: fries that includes cheese, grilled onions, the sauce. I feel
Speaker 9: like pickles are incorporated somehow. Please stop get the burger,
Speaker 9: eat the fries. Nell If there was like a Windy's
Speaker 9: In and Out Universe crossover. And you said, here's a
Speaker 9: baked potato and there's lots of good stuff on it.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 9: Interested, Please tell me more about this product.
Speaker 3: Fries are fried, fried is crispy?
Speaker 10: Do not?
Speaker 9: And I know in and out frieser devices. In and
Speaker 9: of themselves, they are not the crispiest of fries, which
Speaker 9: is why it's even more important that you do not
Speaker 9: throw a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of stuff on top of them.
Speaker 9: Get the fry and the catchup, minimize the contact time
Speaker 9: with anything liquid in nature, and consume the fry.
Speaker 8: I do like a dip fry.
Speaker 7: I don't like.
Speaker 8: I don't like, I don't.
Speaker 11: I hate ketchup, I do barbecue, sauce, cheese, you gotta.
Speaker 8: I don't mind cheese on the fry.
Speaker 3: But I'm not right about this.
Speaker 9: Like, if you disagree with me, you're not wrong. I
Speaker 9: just I personally feel like fries should be preserved in
Speaker 9: their in their holy state.
Speaker 11: Please so Victor, Victor asks the question, I'll ask his question,
Speaker 11: and I'll ask my question. One he asks his poutine
Speaker 11: too much?
Speaker 9: Has never wanting to offend a Canadian, I'm gonna say that, no, it.
Speaker 3: Isn't you can so much.
Speaker 8: You could say, yes, he doesn't have a microphone, so
Speaker 8: he can't say.
Speaker 3: I would never do this, but.
Speaker 9: My perfect poutine would be like a little gravy warmer
Speaker 9: and and kurds on the side to assemble it myself.
Speaker 8: Oh I want, It's just what I want. No correct
Speaker 8: wrong about.
Speaker 9: Like Poutina's the big flat steak fries, which is a
Speaker 9: whole different conversation.
Speaker 11: I get you, now, you now for like the trama
Speaker 11: of the fry, I get that, Like, no, listen, just
Speaker 11: give me the fry, But what about seasoning?
Speaker 8: What about uh huh?
Speaker 9: Secretly at all the best fries are the weird, like
Speaker 9: the ones that come frozen with the cracker like seasoning
Speaker 9: on the outside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cuts good.
Speaker 11: But there's about the ones that look like they got
Speaker 11: like they're the orange.
Speaker 8: They need to go to the dermatologist.
Speaker 3: But you yes, yeah, that's an excellent fry.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Like I'm trying to think of who has fries like that, Like, uh,
Speaker 11: do you remember like maybe not.
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, do you remember like Checkers or
Speaker 8: Rallies fries?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11: Have like some of the have some of that, yeah,
Speaker 11: some of that a little bit too yeah, yeah, season
Speaker 11: all right, so as long as we get listen, I'm
Speaker 11: with you. As long as we get seasoned on the fries,
Speaker 11: all the extra ship shouldn't.
Speaker 9: It's very fair that you ask a reputation regarding seasoning
Speaker 9: is deserved off.
Speaker 3: And use it extensively.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, all right, I've been saying mayonnaise is
Speaker 1: way too spicy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, we'll hear you're overrated, and we'll get
Speaker 1: into some news.
Speaker 7: And we're back back.
Speaker 1: And I did not pay much attention to what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump was up to this weekend.
Speaker 3: At the at the Daytona five hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I somehow watched every second of the
Speaker 1: broadcast of the Daytona five hundred without catching the fact
Speaker 1: that that was prompt the Daytona five hundred because I'm
Speaker 1: not American. But he opened the race by riding in
Speaker 1: the back of a limousine around the Daytona five hundred track,
Speaker 1: and then also made some overtly dictatorial proclamations on social media, posting,
Speaker 1: he who saves his country does not violate any law.
Speaker 3: Damn take that, Chuck Schumer, boom, take that. Did you
Speaker 3: hear what he just said, anyone who saves his country
Speaker 3: does not violate any capital l law.
Speaker 1: Love the love the random hop okay, indiscriminate capitalization.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he came up with that, I think too, because
Speaker 3: he tweeted he did. I think he who.
Speaker 1: Saves this country does not violate any law which was
Speaker 1: attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Speaker 3: Oh fuck see, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know that he's one of.
Speaker 4: The good guys. Right in history he's seen as a
Speaker 4: good guy. I think based on the.
Speaker 1: Joaquin Phoenix film. I think he was like just kind
Speaker 1: of a crafty little dude, get me getting after.
Speaker 3: It out there, Yeah, just running. He couldn't been that bad.
Speaker 3: He inspired Abba to make a song called Waterloo. Well yeah,
Speaker 3: so it does predictably have a much stupider origin. It's
Speaker 3: not an actual Napoleon quote, of course.
Speaker 1: It was started with a conservative commentator, Logan Hall, posting
Speaker 1: an image of Napoleon all this way quote.
Speaker 3: Is that different than Logan Paul. There's another guy Hall. Okay,
Speaker 3: there's a guy called Logan Hall.
Speaker 1: Also, their conservative commentator and influencer generator is just stuck
Speaker 1: on Logan Yeah, Logan Ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh Lamello's cousin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, Lamello's cousin Logan, Yeah, Loan, of course. But
Speaker 1: he posted the quote on truth Social and then Trump
Speaker 1: just like kind of took it from that. It was
Speaker 1: originally a quote from a Napoleon movie that came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy called Waterloo, starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon.
Speaker 1: That's one of those names that I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna watch the clip and I'll be like, oh, Steiger,
Speaker 1: of course. And I watched the clip, I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know who the fuck this guy is.
Speaker 3: Wait, so I love that again. It's so off, it's
Speaker 3: not even a real quote. And then it's from a
Speaker 3: fucking movie from out Napoleon to be like, yeah, all right, dude,
Speaker 3: I'm send that send that along because they think I'm
Speaker 3: doing some kind of unconstitutional nonsense. I'm just saving the country.
Speaker 1: That's right, man, and then taken by a conservative influencer,
Speaker 1: stripped of context, put with the painting of Napoleon and
Speaker 1: while history is written. I was really hoping that the
Speaker 1: quote was from Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Trump fucking posted I bet I could throw
Speaker 3: this football clear over them mountains and you're like, he's
Speaker 3: got some real uncle rego. Yeah, isn't your child? You
Speaker 3: gotta you have a Napoleon enthusiast.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was pro long. It was a long, hard couple
Speaker 4: of it was a pandemic. The pandemic in the entire
Speaker 4: pandemic was was Napoleon stories and hearing about Napoleon and
Speaker 4: going as Napoleon for Halloween and uh I remember that, ye, yeah,
Speaker 4: which was he was. He was a very cute little Napoleon,
Speaker 4: I will say, but it took a while to kind
Speaker 4: of try to talk him down, although I was successful
Speaker 4: from the idea of having you know, having a dictator
Speaker 4: who's who just like wants the best for the country
Speaker 4: and like wants to do all these good things for
Speaker 4: the people, and so why wouldn't you give me all
Speaker 4: the power? I want to make the country great?
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's very appealing to eight year old boys and apparently
Speaker 4: to Trump, so they have that in common.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like my reaction to this is kind of
Speaker 1: the same one that you probably had, where you're like,
Speaker 1: of all the world famous European dictators, like, yeah, not Stalin.
Speaker 3: It's not like those would be really, how do you
Speaker 3: as a as a.
Speaker 1: Parent deal with you like your child?
Speaker 3: He love Stalin heard this, Hey, I know you liked him. Play.
Speaker 3: Do you like this general Lissimo Franco? God, you're gonna
Speaker 3: try him out a little bit? No for good measure?
Speaker 4: No, okay, okay, Oh what's this Mussolini doing in here?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's okay. So my kid has has done
Speaker 4: a pretty big swing. But there was that moment where
Speaker 4: it was like, okay, but capitalism sucks. So Stalin he
Speaker 4: also did that, and we're like no, no, no, no, no, keep going,
Speaker 4: keep going.
Speaker 7: Reading.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh so, I mean, for whatever it's worth, Trump
Speaker 4: will ever get to this point because he hasn't read.
Speaker 4: But you know he's reading the Communist Manifesto right now,
Speaker 4: a little older, little wiser, trying to learn some stuff.
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's a.
Speaker 3: Process thinking, get him, get him on that fan on
Speaker 3: next you know, some France, and now you got going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now you're cooking m hm. Anyway, No, this is
Speaker 4: not This isn't terrifying at all. I do love that,
Speaker 4: like the right will just constantly blast out stuff that
Speaker 4: like attributing things to the wrong people like this was
Speaker 4: like George Washington praying we had what whatever it was
Speaker 4: like the Delawa crossing in Delaware, or like this is
Speaker 4: the prayer, didn't Mike Johnson a couple of months ago
Speaker 4: do like this is the prayer of like Thomas Jefferson,
Speaker 4: who was not really even a theist to it's like
Speaker 4: you read this every day. No he didn't, and they
Speaker 4: just it doesn't matter. Like my thing that I keep
Speaker 4: coming back to is it's like we had this for
Speaker 4: for for decades. It was like the marketplace of ideas,
Speaker 4: and you gotta you gotta put your ideas out there,
Speaker 4: got to compete in the marketplace of ideas. And it's
Speaker 4: like this is the marketplace of reality now like the
Speaker 4: like the like never mind ideas. It's like what actually
Speaker 4: happened and what didn't is constantly up for debate, and Trump,
Speaker 4: I think contributes to that on a pretty much daily
Speaker 4: as he's in office.
Speaker 3: It's like there's like this very like elementary school logic
Speaker 3: that's applied where it's like, well, if that historical figure
Speaker 3: said it, then it has to be okay because they're
Speaker 3: in they're from history, you know, like in the same
Speaker 3: way like they had like that fake MLK endorsement, like
Speaker 3: or in the lead up to the election, and like, bro,
Speaker 3: this is a fake ascid But what the fuck are
Speaker 3: you all talking about. I mean, I'm okay, maybe I'm okay.
Speaker 3: Whatson did okay? Uh uh yeah. I mean Luckily though,
Speaker 3: the the the sycophants loved this very odd display of power.
Speaker 1: It's just interesting timing before we get to the SICCA fans,
Speaker 1: because this is like as they're going over to Europe
Speaker 1: and being like, by the way, you all work for
Speaker 1: us now and your only problem is that you're not
Speaker 1: friendly enough to Nazis in the right wing and we're
Speaker 1: team Putin, So.
Speaker 3: Taking all right, see you later, take it? Any question?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: Cool?
Speaker 3: All right man, great talk, great talk, great talk. Well
Speaker 3: we'll head on out now. Yeah. That's also God, it's
Speaker 3: all it's all happening so quickly.
Speaker 1: But all the times to be quoting Napoleon, this is
Speaker 1: an interesting moment, right, right, of.
Speaker 4: All the times to be quoting not Napoleon, right, So yeah,
Speaker 4: that weird race track display where he's like an right
Speaker 4: around in my armored car.
Speaker 3: All of his goons went on TV to tell everyone
Speaker 3: how they should think of it and how cool it
Speaker 3: is because that's that's the deal now, because that was
Speaker 3: just the sickest display of impotent power ever ever. So
Speaker 3: I remember that guy, well, he was a primary opponent,
Speaker 3: but Dog Burger, no Doug Burgum, It's always hard to
Speaker 3: remember his name. He's now the Secretary of the Interior.
Speaker 3: He went on Fox like the next day to like,
Speaker 3: really just lay it on thick like this is that
Speaker 3: was so amaz and it's giving you know, full blown
Speaker 3: I don't know, whatever dystopian vibes you want to put
Speaker 3: in there, I'll let you decide. But here's dog Berger
Speaker 3: talking to Fox and Friends.
Speaker 12: When we saw him take that victory lap of sorts
Speaker 12: going around the track.
Speaker 13: Uh yeah, yeah, well, oh, Steve, watching President Trump in
Speaker 13: the beast, leading the pace guard, leading a field of
Speaker 13: the most talented drivers in the world, kicking off the
Speaker 13: entire NASCAR season for America.
Speaker 10: When he was doing that, it reminded me of how
Speaker 10: he's actually leading the world right now. Opportunity to be
Speaker 10: with him, with the Prime Minister Modi from India, with
Speaker 10: the Prime Minister of Japan, and the world is looking
Speaker 10: to President Trump for his leadership, and he's out in
Speaker 10: front and everybody's following his lead, and wow, is that
Speaker 10: great for America and great for the world.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's great for the world. You know. Obviously
Speaker 3: he's out there in armored Carl literally going in circles
Speaker 3: over and over again, going absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's other directions you could have taken that metaphor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just just.
Speaker 3: Leading people round and around on the road to nowhere.
Speaker 3: But it looks really fucking cool. Then he goes on.
Speaker 3: He keeps amping it up. He's like, oh man, there's
Speaker 3: stuff he's doing. Now, he's on it. He's not another gear.
Speaker 1: I just like the idea that because everyone's looking at him,
Speaker 1: that he must.
Speaker 3: Be like leader.
Speaker 1: Like it's like, yeah, everyone looking at him the way
Speaker 1: people in the room with a monkey might follow the lead.
Speaker 1: If the monkey picked up a handgun and like looked
Speaker 1: look at him like a monkey that just picked up
Speaker 1: a handgun, and they're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All
Speaker 1: eyes on him, must be good, must be good because
Speaker 1: people are looking right, yeah, exactly, like made you look
Speaker 1: logic of an adolescent bully, or.
Speaker 3: Just saying like, I mean, well, they were looking like
Speaker 3: it was in disbelief. Yeah, but they were looking even
Speaker 3: though it was. They were aghast. It doesn't matter. He
Speaker 3: goes on to continue to, you know, demonstrate how loyal
Speaker 3: he is to the leader.
Speaker 10: I got elected for the first time the same time
Speaker 10: President Trump did back in November twenty sixteen. Working with
Speaker 10: him as a governor then, I mean he was he
Speaker 10: was courageous during his first term. But this time he's fearless.
Speaker 10: He's operating at the next level. He's had a different gear.
Speaker 10: And whether you take a look at things like last
Speaker 10: Friday signing.
Speaker 3: He said, another gear just like ending democracy. You know
Speaker 3: what I mean, He's found a whole nother level.
Speaker 1: Real I want the person who's piloting the ship of
Speaker 1: the most powerful military in the history.
Speaker 3: Of the world to be fearless. Yeah, that's what I
Speaker 3: want him to be.
Speaker 1: Also, if you notice his hair is pretty wet and greasy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because he washed Trump's feet with his hair.
Speaker 3: Just like the grease from his feet. He actually can't
Speaker 3: even wash it out anymore. He's like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: know it just he's so greasy. I want to flip
Speaker 3: back now, I guess permanently. Permanently, but yeah, the obviously
Speaker 3: people within the administration aren't the only ones who are
Speaker 3: falling in line. Again, there's always something happening Meta. Recently
Speaker 3: we found out they also wanted to remind Trump that
Speaker 3: they are also very ready to bend both knees and
Speaker 3: bow prostrates before the leader when he pulled when like,
Speaker 3: Meta pulled an ad on their platform that was critical
Speaker 3: of the fascist takeover. This is a report from musk Watch. Quote.
Speaker 3: The ad links to an online petition which has received
Speaker 3: roughly ninety five thousand signatures calling for a quote massive
Speaker 3: public outcry demanding US lawmakers take action against Musk and
Speaker 3: doze before more damage is done. And if you look
Speaker 3: on Meta's ad library, you can kind of see like
Speaker 3: why things were, you know, taken off or not. They
Speaker 3: claim that this ad violated its rules on quote unacceptable
Speaker 3: business practices, and you're like, oh, I'm sorry. Like unacceptable
Speaker 3: business practices, according to Meta, prohibits advertisers from misleading people
Speaker 3: into purchase, seeing or sharing sensitive information, exaggerating health related benefits,
Speaker 3: and touting deceptive financial benefits. So the ad must have
Speaker 3: been rife with fucking lies. Here, let me read it
Speaker 3: really quick. This was the main text I think that
Speaker 3: they have. They were at odds with quote a single
Speaker 3: individual now controls sensitive US data, risking our national security.
Speaker 3: Urged Congress to enforce strict oversight.
Speaker 4: Holy sham man, unacceptable business.
Speaker 3: We dodged a bullet. Yeah, what were they thinking? What
Speaker 3: were they thinking?
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's healthy democracy crosses the line. It's just
Speaker 4: you're over You're touting the benefits of a healthy democracy,
Speaker 4: and that's just not real, right.
Speaker 3: The one Then the Washington Post also pulled an ad
Speaker 3: recently too that was critical. So it's oh boy, they're
Speaker 3: really yeah.
Speaker 1: Do we what do we think the chances are there's
Speaker 1: like a free election next time, Like like not good.
Speaker 4: For four years or two years. I don't think it's
Speaker 4: good either way.
Speaker 3: No, Like, there's no way she's not with the shit
Speaker 3: they're doing. Where if you think you can like kick
Speaker 3: a bunch of people off these like safety net programs
Speaker 3: and be like yeah, then there won't be any kind
Speaker 3: of political backlash to anyone for this, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: That's very hard to believe them, Like you'd have to
Speaker 3: if you're strategizing, well, how do we take away billions
Speaker 3: from people that are keeping them alive? Well, then we
Speaker 3: have to make sure they like we have to nullify
Speaker 3: their opinion in an election, meaning we just have to
Speaker 3: do whatever the fuck we can to make sure these
Speaker 3: people can't vote or we can manipulate the outcomes of it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Just seems like it's worse than people are able to
Speaker 1: like wrap their mind around at this moment. Like it's
Speaker 1: just the inability to speak freely, the lining up of
Speaker 1: every kind of you know, barrier of of any consequence,
Speaker 1: and the complete absence of the Democratic Party at this
Speaker 1: moment in any like effective way feels a lot, just
Speaker 1: a lot stranger and like further further down the path
Speaker 1: than like people. I think people are just like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: still got to go to work in the morning, which true,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: But I think that like the trickle that this is
Speaker 4: this is because what they're doing, I think is fucking
Speaker 4: with the economy. So I think that's going to hit
Speaker 4: people first. This is my theory anyway, right, because it's
Speaker 4: like firing all of these people with all of these
Speaker 4: expertise is going to cause problems, even if it hasn't
Speaker 4: caused any problems quite yet, like like like structural problems, right,
Speaker 4: or like economics like system wide problems, right, Yeah, obviously
Speaker 4: causing problems for individuals. At this point, we're seeing that
Speaker 4: people are people are dying. But I think that, like,
Speaker 4: I think we're going to get that that's going to
Speaker 4: hit before we get to the polls and whether or
Speaker 4: not they respect like the out comes of the election
Speaker 4: or somehow try to manipulate those outcomes. I mean, it's
Speaker 4: like if if it's true that like Elon Muskin has
Speaker 4: little you know, very strange little boy squad have like
Speaker 4: access to everything, then yeah, what's what's the I think
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's hard to say if people are
Speaker 4: gonna be like, what's the point ain't even voting? Like
Speaker 4: why why bother?
Speaker 1: Because sure will they have to even cheat when exactly
Speaker 1: a Democratic cardy has bet the knee and Trump is
Speaker 1: like why not why one knee?
Speaker 3: Why the singular knee?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 3: Why you should get a double knee?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It seems weird.
Speaker 4: Weird, seem weird.
Speaker 3: I think it's weird. Yeah, well, I think it's just
Speaker 3: it's just so hard to fathom that the order of
Speaker 3: things is completely gone. And I think, yeah, that's just
Speaker 3: as whether it was just or not, it's just like
Speaker 3: that's the momentum that's been caring for the last few
Speaker 3: decades and to be like, do I think that shit's
Speaker 3: fucking cooked right now? Yeah? Is it's like kind of
Speaker 3: like this thing where it's like, well, I need a
Speaker 3: few more things to make me believe that it is.
Speaker 3: I know what they're saying out loud means it's over.
Speaker 3: But now it's like the ramifications of that are now,
Speaker 3: I think, on their way, and that's when you'll start
Speaker 3: seeing things like more fucking preventable incidences, whether that's like
Speaker 3: through negligence or actual malice or just the inefficiencies that
Speaker 3: come up from doing this thing, because like they're definitely
Speaker 3: like they run the government like people, you know, like
Speaker 3: anyone who's worked jobs where people at the top have
Speaker 3: no idea what other people do at the company. And
Speaker 3: then they're like, yeah, they gotta go. And you're like,
Speaker 3: are you serious, dude, Everything fucking fun. I know you
Speaker 3: don't think that is an integral part, but I'm telling
Speaker 3: you everything will fall apart if that person doesn't work
Speaker 3: here anymore, like everything, and yeah, you know, we're fine,
Speaker 3: Like it's working fine, and it's just one person. What
Speaker 3: what how? What could happen? And I feel like there
Speaker 3: are going to be a lot of moments where we
Speaker 3: begin to see that, But I don't know. I was
Speaker 3: surprised that they even rescinded the termination of the people
Speaker 3: who were overseeing the you know, red figgering of nuclear warheads.
Speaker 3: I guess there was a line.
Speaker 4: There kind of. But I think that they do the
Speaker 4: thing where they intentionally overstep and then they go back
Speaker 4: half a step and everybody's like, oh fuck, thank god, right,
Speaker 4: and it's like we're still not back to where we started, like,
Speaker 4: and they keep doing that.
Speaker 3: Over and I'm wondering, like, what is that supposed to
Speaker 3: set up? They're like, well, remember when we rehired the
Speaker 3: people that were in charge of like all the nuclear weapons. Okay,
Speaker 3: now here's my next my follow up act that makes
Speaker 3: it seem less fucked up. Yeah, it's it's very hard
Speaker 3: to tell, but yeah, I mean you put on the
Speaker 3: news and they're all very much it is. It's like Fox,
Speaker 3: even now more than ever, is truly on board and
Speaker 3: being like, yes, whatever is, whatever, whatever reality is, we're
Speaker 3: going to say the opposite. You have trumped arrangement syndrome.
Speaker 1: If you think that it's bad that we just fired
Speaker 1: everybody who knows how to access and control the nuclear
Speaker 1: weapons in this country.
Speaker 3: Yeah. God, that was a sad quote too, not even
Speaker 3: a that that strange relationship between Trump and Musk on
Speaker 3: like just got even weirder on that their handity appearance
Speaker 3: because already that like oval office thing felt like again
Speaker 3: younger person praying on an old senile person to just
Speaker 3: wait for them to die so they can take all
Speaker 3: their money and then but also kind of controlling them
Speaker 3: so their families, Like, I think that's not the one
Speaker 3: who's thinking this stuff. It's like, of course it's not.
Speaker 3: Your father loves me. Get used to father loves me
Speaker 3: and says everything that I say should be respected just
Speaker 3: as if it were said by him. Are there any questions?
Speaker 3: Thank you? Moving on, But yeah, that was a very
Speaker 3: That moment was also one where we heard Musk go
Speaker 3: off about Trump derangement syndrome and that's you.
Speaker 1: Haven't even signed your NDA from Christmas yet, Yeah, Jesus, And.
Speaker 3: When would you be changing your last name? Because he
Speaker 3: doesn't want you associating with him anymore. Yes, he told me.
Speaker 3: He told me that last night when we were in bed.
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And so we saw Donald Trump be uh just greeted
Speaker 1: with roaring applause at the super Bowl. So no questions
Speaker 1: about his popularity. He's the most popular president of all time.
Speaker 1: Oh wait that super Bowl was on Fox and they
Speaker 1: added that noise. But anyways, uh, he there does seem
Speaker 1: to be just even the way like the New York Times,
Speaker 1: like everybody greets its like as if, well, this president
Speaker 1: is very popular, and you can tell because of all
Speaker 1: the crazy shit he's doing. And it's like, right, wait,
Speaker 1: I mean just because he's claiming he's popular, you're also
Speaker 1: hearing these little whispers of like meanwhile, like Lisa Murkowski's
Speaker 1: office is like, we've never had this many calls before
Speaker 1: from our constituents being like, what the fuck is happening
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, and you know, like Republicans are saying
Speaker 1: that's like, yeah, they're like my constituents, the people that
Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump are are very concerned, whether it's
Speaker 1: because they are federal employees, they're family members, are federal employees,
Speaker 1: or people that rely on these government programs that are
Speaker 1: getting the fucking acts.
Speaker 3: So yeah, like there are In the last week, I've
Speaker 3: seen multiple like there's just a ton of headlines about
Speaker 3: Republicans being very nervous, is what they say, you know,
Speaker 3: without actually doing anything like we hate that for them. No, No,
Speaker 3: Congress calm Republican. But they're trying to do the thing
Speaker 3: where they're like trying not to be like this dude
Speaker 3: is fucking up. They're trying to use like just this
Speaker 3: like very neutral language, but to also underscore that they
Speaker 3: are a bit concerned. Like Don Bacon, he's a congress
Speaker 3: member from Nebraska. Bacon, before Macon cuts rashly, the administration
Speaker 3: should be studying and staffing to see what the consequences are.
Speaker 3: Measure twice before cutting. See I like that. It's very dadfolk.
Speaker 3: That's like dad core shit. Measure twice cut once you
Speaker 3: get it, okay, And he said they have had to
Speaker 3: backtrack multiple times. Lisa Murkowski and the Senator from Alaska said,
Speaker 3: we all want efficiencies. There's a way to do it,
Speaker 3: and the way these people have been treated has been
Speaker 3: awful in many cases. Awful, Okay, a little bit stronger, Lisa,
Speaker 3: all right, double.
Speaker 8: Down on that.
Speaker 3: Awful, but anyway, so many other members also spoke under
Speaker 3: the condition of cowardice and has said, they don't like
Speaker 3: that the Constitution is getting shitted on, but hey, what
Speaker 3: the hell are they going to actually do about it?
Speaker 3: Is kind of we have no leverage.
Speaker 1: You're you're Republican, right, You're.
Speaker 12: We have no Jeffreys that I named Jeffrey. Also, what
Speaker 12: do you want us to do? Where you just see
Speaker 12: what Congress he came up with a new uh fucking
Speaker 12: like stupid nickname for Trump this yeah, or maybe it's
Speaker 12: Musk I believe, no, no, he it's it's he goes,
Speaker 12: he goes. This guy's like Captain Chaos and you're like,
Speaker 12: holy swish swish from way downtown.
Speaker 3: The Democratic Party is died. So anyway, the Bernie I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say, the Bernie.
Speaker 1: Video that is getting millions of views on TikTok where
Speaker 1: he just like describes the situation as being oligarchs felt good.
Speaker 1: It's the first thing I've seen a public figure do
Speaker 1: that just made like, Yeah, more of that. Let's just
Speaker 1: like do that for three hours a day, just like
Speaker 1: talk to people about what is actually happening, what is oligarchy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because clearly do I think a lot of the
Speaker 3: thing is like your audience for all the politicians out there,
Speaker 3: the baseline for knowledge is low. You're going to have
Speaker 3: to aren't with what is money okay, and how that
Speaker 3: all works, because assuming they know what things like subsidies
Speaker 3: are or grants or social safety net. But no, no, no,
Speaker 3: we have to start from the bottom and teach the
Speaker 3: web anyway.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you can't go camping anymore. You can't go
Speaker 5: to these general you know what I mean. It's like
Speaker 5: your grandmother won't get medicine. It's like that kind of thing, like, yeah,
Speaker 5: not like they've cut medicare.
Speaker 2: We will win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Chuck. But also there's like maga influencers posting
Speaker 3: on social media that these cuts are like hurting the
Speaker 3: people that love you, mister president, please reconsider. So this
Speaker 3: is all happening, So it feels like people aren't totally
Speaker 3: convinced that having no job or losing benefits is winning
Speaker 3: at all, which brings us to the propaganda arm of
Speaker 3: the regime. Fox News. They spent the morning doing a
Speaker 3: full on WandaVision on their viewers to get them to
Speaker 3: believe like Musk is doing a good job and that
Speaker 3: every cent the government is spending is on woke circumcisions.
Speaker 3: So they did they covered this press conference where Trump
Speaker 3: was like, look at this, this saying they want more
Speaker 3: equitable voting access in Africa. I don't know. Education in
Speaker 3: Asia they're doing better than us, I'd say, so what
Speaker 3: are we doing this? Like only reading like very specific
Speaker 3: words out of a description of a program, they just
Speaker 3: paint an entire thing to be like, this is about circumsance,
Speaker 3: like nos a public health measure that we're talking about
Speaker 3: that does include education around that it's not to be
Speaker 3: like and here's our circumcision budget. So anyway, this is
Speaker 3: Fox pretty much trying to spin all of that and
Speaker 3: inoculating their viewers to get them to sort of decouple
Speaker 3: the idea that like government spending is good, that all
Speaker 3: government spending is actually going on woke nonsense. That is
Speaker 3: a waste of your money, all right.
Speaker 14: Laura, So in the Bingo card of waste in our
Speaker 14: taxpayer dollars, I don't know if anyone could have predicted
Speaker 14: social inclusion, learning, circums voter inclusion. The list goes on.
Speaker 14: But what a horrifying list that is. And thank god
Speaker 14: for dosh in President Trump.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and I would love to hear one person in
Speaker 15: the Democrat Party try to justify any of these line items.
Speaker 15: I mean, imagine you are a person who's been struggling
Speaker 15: the past four years, who's been trying to put food
Speaker 15: on the table, get the basics for your family, and
Speaker 15: you find out ten million dollars of your harder and
Speaker 15: taxpayer money is going overseas for circumcisions. They are indefensible items,
Speaker 15: and that is why Donald Trump is in there exposing it.
Speaker 15: You know, it's funny I saw online.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, that's not always having it. Your hard earned
Speaker 3: money is actually going to oligarchs, so they no longer paid.
Speaker 3: That's where the money is actually going. But nice try
Speaker 3: like again, they want to connect all of this to
Speaker 3: be like it just goes to woke stuff and that's
Speaker 3: your money rather than your money is getting shipped upward
Speaker 3: in another mass wealth redistribution scheme that we see every
Speaker 3: fucking time and again, fortunately I.
Speaker 1: Am forced to respect any point that is made using
Speaker 1: the didn't have that on my twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Five bingo card. Yeah yeah, metaphor, it works every time
Speaker 3: on me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, god, damn, that makes me think of bingo
Speaker 1: and I feel like I have that there.
Speaker 5: The Grand American tradition every January first we sit down
Speaker 5: and we make our Bingo card for the year an
Speaker 5: I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Okay, the next number we're picking is I fourteen. Hold on, sorry,
Speaker 3: I have fifty million dollars for circumcisions here. What do
Speaker 3: I what do I put a tile here? Can I
Speaker 3: mark that? But again, these aren't fucking savings like Christy
Speaker 3: Noman was talking about, or ship to put money in
Speaker 3: your pocket. These are critical programs that keep people alive,
Speaker 3: keeping our food from fucking poisoning us, critical services. Again,
Speaker 3: they just want to have their people be as ignorant
Speaker 3: as possible and intentionally ignorant about everything that's happening again,
Speaker 3: so they can get away with this just massive theft.
Speaker 3: They also obviously need to sell Musk like as being
Speaker 3: this genius because right now a third of Republicans believe
Speaker 3: a third of Republicans are in the category of Musk
Speaker 3: has entirely too much influence over this White House. So
Speaker 3: they know they're like, oh shit, we need to get
Speaker 3: those numbers down. This is in the same segment they
Speaker 3: go on to do this thing where they're clearly talking
Speaker 3: to old people by describing Musk's technological genius.
Speaker 1: Person they can code all of it, which I really
Speaker 1: think is what Musk secret sauces.
Speaker 2: He knows something that we don't know.
Speaker 1: He knows how you can develop programs that can build
Speaker 1: products if you need it, or build software that can
Speaker 1: give us answers.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, my god, he knows. That is so fucking
Speaker 3: syne when you go he knows things we don't know,
Speaker 3: like acting like now we're using like a deification sort
Speaker 3: of logical framework of like faith in Musk to be
Speaker 3: like and the Lord knows how the programs, and we
Speaker 3: must type it into the magical computer box and out
Speaker 3: will come the answers saying problem.
Speaker 5: And then he'll change some M to a B and
Speaker 5: it will look much more impressive, right, what Like why oh,
Speaker 5: why did the government think to hire someone who knew
Speaker 5: how to do computers before?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 1: They like I remember when he took over Twitter and
Speaker 1: was like making all those changes and like firing everybody
Speaker 1: and then being like come in and show me your code,
Speaker 1: and people are like just even the questions that he's
Speaker 1: asking suggest that he like has a very like pedestrian.
Speaker 3: Understanding of like coding and like how any of this shit? Right?
Speaker 1: Like he's hasn't coded anything, successful in his life. Like,
Speaker 1: that's not what he does. He goes in and takes
Speaker 1: advantage of imbalances like or loopholes and laws where it
Speaker 1: can make him a bunch of money and then just repeatedly,
Speaker 1: you know, abuses those loopholes until he has millions and
Speaker 1: then billions of dollars.
Speaker 3: That's all he does. And based on how other like
Speaker 3: actual computer program programmers talk about how Elon talks about it,
Speaker 3: they're like, this dude sounds like a kid who's hanging
Speaker 3: out with older kids and going back to his kids
Speaker 3: that are his age and be like, yo, dude, this
Speaker 3: that like just saying a bunch of dumb shit he
Speaker 3: overheard without a real understanding of it, just because he's
Speaker 3: around people that do so. Then on top of that too,
Speaker 3: Jesse Waters also Fox min Man put his tiny ass
Speaker 3: brain to work, and this is the best he could
Speaker 3: come up with in terms of trying to manufacture consent
Speaker 3: for like levels of austerity that would make Margaret Thatcher
Speaker 3: look like fucking FDR. Here is Jesse Waters convincing his
Speaker 3: viewers that Doge is also here just listening to this shit.
Speaker 10: What never lies besides George Washington Math Math never never lies.
Speaker 3: Math always tells the truth. DOJ's math.
Speaker 5: Is math.
Speaker 1: So George Washington equals never lies, never lies equals math,
Speaker 1: math equals Doge transitive.
Speaker 3: Property GEQ, George Washington equals slave teeth as dentures. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's that's that's what that's again all that's happening. And
Speaker 3: then on top of that too, we just had that
Speaker 3: fucking Hannity interview where Musk and Doge again with their
Speaker 3: weird ass Elder Abuse wrote like romance that they're doing
Speaker 3: on TV for everyone, Trump and Trump and Musk and Musk. Yeah,
Speaker 3: went on Hannity and basically like he was asked to
Speaker 3: think and Trump just said, the whole thing is like, well,
Speaker 3: inflation's back, and I got nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3: That's what this whole thing is now, like completely, I
Speaker 3: mean that is the most presidential thing about him, is
Speaker 3: just completely not delivering on presidential like promises. But yeah,
Speaker 3: they were, we're there now with the inflation. You hear
Speaker 3: about this, I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: My hands are tired, folks just taking direct quotes from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden.
Speaker 5: There's the ghost government. There's a ghost government controlling inflation.
Speaker 3: We gotta get it under control.
Speaker 5: Books, go go to call Danny Ackroyd. Danny Akroyd's coming in.
Speaker 5: Didn't go in the fiftieth, couldn't make the fiftieth. Working
Speaker 5: for Dose, didn't go to the fiftieth.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised. I'm surprised Bill Murray was there, if chefvy
Speaker 3: Chase was there. But you know, you saw that Bill
Speaker 3: Murray through some shade during the weekend up they think,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, he definitely watched s n L fifty.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, fifty. Probably thought he
Speaker 3: was gonna get like in there.
Speaker 1: He's like, God, all right, that's gonna do it. For
Speaker 1: this week's weekly Zeitgeist, please like and review the show.
Speaker 2: If you like, the show means the world to Miles.
Speaker 1: He he needs your validation. Folks. I hope you're having
Speaker 1: a great weekend and we'll talk to you Monday.
