Speaker 1: What do you think this world series is going to
Speaker 1: be like for the respective cities, Because now it's like
Speaker 1: a thing I've always fantasized about.
Speaker 2: I'm like Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Versus or like the l I would love to see
Speaker 1: that it's and it is the It is the world
Speaker 1: series that I'm sure every advertiser on Earth was praying for.
Speaker 3: But every connoisseur of toxic masculinity is probably just licking
Speaker 3: their chops right now, the various forms, varying forms.
Speaker 2: I'm licking my chops.
Speaker 3: I'm licking chops so hard over here about this world series.
Speaker 1: It was so hard to watch it from the East
Speaker 1: Coast because like it starts at eight, and like I'm
Speaker 1: already I'm already tired from being a parent and shit,
Speaker 1: so like even the adrenaline of watching like a you know,
Speaker 1: Pennant deciding game, I was like.
Speaker 3: Baseball is purely background noise for me, even like at
Speaker 3: this point, like I will put it on, but I'm
Speaker 3: it's not ever going to be like we're staying up
Speaker 3: or we're like changing plans to do it. But I
Speaker 3: do find myself.
Speaker 2: Room for the Dodgers, as you should. You know, I just.
Speaker 3: Want more dopamine in the general brain system that's moving
Speaker 3: around Los Angeles. We need all the help we can get.
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope this just tears the country apart.
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna be honest, that's.
Speaker 3: What I want that. I just want this the civil war. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the election goes off, fine, we.
Speaker 2: Don't even care. But it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 3: They're like, right, yeah, nobody saw this ship coming. It's
Speaker 3: all about like different styles of baseball, and they steal
Speaker 3: and move the runners along.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh that's how you guys like to win.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, stealing interest. How we stop the steal, stop
Speaker 3: the steal?
Speaker 1: Show hazen first, they're just screaming, stop the stealing sport.
Speaker 3: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition

Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the sonorous tones of one miles. Whoa,
Speaker 2: whoa do we do? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Monday, and hey, and I know you can

Speaker 1: The allergens on the East Coast they kind of fuck

Speaker 2: They different on the the allergions. We get to my
Speaker 2: underrated no joke.
Speaker 3: The allergens on the East Coast hit different that was
Speaker 3: the first person to ever because that one's actually true.
Speaker 3: The allergiens do hit different on the East coast. They
Speaker 3: fucked me up.
Speaker 1: Wait really, Oh you mean like I'm well, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's person dependent. I'm sure the other way people will
Speaker 1: be like the fucking allergens on the West coast are system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I can't even handle the ship and like I've it,
Speaker 1: I have always fall allergies just.
Speaker 2: In l A and now it's it's no different. But
Speaker 2: what I it's not as bad, not as bad.
Speaker 3: This is the episode where we tell you some of
Speaker 3: the things that we're trending over the weekend. We also
Speaker 3: let you get to know us a little bit better
Speaker 3: about what's going on with a little a little bit
Speaker 3: of an underrated, a little bit of an overrated.
Speaker 2: You know, we we talked.
Speaker 3: To these guests all week and get their overrated and underrated.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: What about us, Miles, We've got thoughts, we've got ideas. Exactly,
Speaker 3: they're pretty similar week to week. But anyways, it's just
Speaker 3: a fun, fun way to set the aat idea what
Speaker 3: we've been doing over the weekend. Yeah, exactly, do you
Speaker 3: want to kick us off say to go, Yeah, what's
Speaker 3: something Miles that you think is underrated.
Speaker 2: Under Oh boy, what did I put here? Oh?
Speaker 1: First, up, I am the East Coast. I was at
Speaker 1: a wedding for New Jersey people. It took place in
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen's baby I Was Born to Run
Speaker 1: came on and I I'm I'm look, I'm from La,
Speaker 1: I'm I know the I know Bruce Springsteen is deified
Speaker 1: and you're in the midst of.
Speaker 2: A religious moment.
Speaker 1: The way people rush to the dance floor like the
Speaker 1: most emotional faces, singing along like damn near like tears
Speaker 1: in people's eyes. I was kind of like, oh this,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a bit at first. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, you're you're getting all into it
Speaker 1: because it's Bruce Springsteen and you're in New Jersey and no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this was like for real with.
Speaker 2: Like their eyes are like rolled back. Yeah, You're like,
Speaker 2: and I feel like that's.
Speaker 1: Kind of how it is like with millennials sometimes, like
Speaker 1: when California Love comes on, there are like certain like
Speaker 1: Tupac sort of tracks or other like West Coast artists
Speaker 1: that kind of bring that out.
Speaker 2: But nothing quite like this.
Speaker 1: So that was it was I was underrating just exactly
Speaker 1: how much of a out of body experience it causes
Speaker 1: for the people of the guard in state. And that
Speaker 1: was a wonderful thing to witness because I do, like
Speaker 1: I have, you know, I love I love New Jersey.
Speaker 2: I feel like the valley what the Valley is to
Speaker 2: La New Jersey is to New York. And that's why
Speaker 2: fuck with y'all.
Speaker 1: But the other thing, salmon as a sandwich protein I
Speaker 1: think is underrated. Salmon sando and I'm not talking about locks.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like grilled salmon or however you're you're
Speaker 1: st pan, frying it, whatever it.
Speaker 2: Because I'm trying to I'm forty.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all heard, come after me, I'm forty.
Speaker 2: I'm forty, man, come after me. Don't come after my
Speaker 2: beef and chicken.
Speaker 1: Though then I'm just trying to eat less beef and chicken,
Speaker 1: and I usually default to those, especially if I see
Speaker 1: like a you know, a nice kind of roast beef
Speaker 1: sort of a sandwich or a fried chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2: I like those things.
Speaker 1: I like, But I also love salmon like just as
Speaker 1: an entree, and I had the opportunity to have this
Speaker 1: fucking amazing salmon sandwich, and I was like, this is
Speaker 1: this is where, this is where I should be going.
Speaker 1: This is how you know, no, no, no, no no. This
Speaker 1: was just completely out of there. This was like on
Speaker 1: my travels back to DC HM shout out a Soco
Speaker 1: and Tacoma Park. We're had this sandwich. They have like
Speaker 1: this salmon sandwich, and I look, it's all about the margins.
Speaker 1: So I could still have my big, gigantic sandwich. But
Speaker 1: I don't need a bunch of shit that is bad
Speaker 1: for me and the earth, So why don't I just
Speaker 1: have some salmon in it?
Speaker 2: And it was fantastic.
Speaker 1: And now I'm like just trying to, you know, just
Speaker 1: just cultivate those habits so underrated sandwich.
Speaker 3: Sandwich miles and this is weird and this is like
Speaker 3: where you're fucking lying amically connected. I didn't have a sandwich.
Speaker 3: I had salmon over the weekend that was better than
Speaker 3: any like any salmon I'd had before, Like there was
Speaker 3: something about how they cooked it.
Speaker 2: It just had a little bit more flavor.
Speaker 3: I feel like anytime I'm getting grilled salmon, for the
Speaker 3: most part in my experience.
Speaker 2: It's dry.
Speaker 3: It's dry, and it's also very flavorless, like it doesn't
Speaker 3: And this time they had all lives in there with it.
Speaker 3: That gave it a little saltiness. That just gave it
Speaker 3: a little bit of something.
Speaker 2: That you have to underneath it.
Speaker 1: You have to under like most people cook it to
Speaker 1: temperature and you kind of got to do it a
Speaker 1: little bit before.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 3: So it's like chicken too, you know, media, But that's
Speaker 3: the warm pink center, wormy pink center.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, The other thing too, if you should
Speaker 1: try is to slow like roast it in your oven
Speaker 1: at super low temperature and you will get that just
Speaker 1: like a delicious juicy So just give it a nice
Speaker 1: sweat in there, all right, my underrated What did I
Speaker 1: write down? Animal's ability to do stuff only humans supposedly do?
Speaker 1: Is my underrated? We talked last week. We're still on that, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean my eyes are open, so my eyes
Speaker 3: are open to things that in the past I might
Speaker 3: have scrolled right by. But we talked last week about
Speaker 3: how scientists are decode birds song and have known for
Speaker 3: a while that there's like more complicated communication happening than
Speaker 3: I would have thought possible. A type of tit in
Speaker 3: the UK figured out how to open milk jugs, and
Speaker 3: then it like went viral among birds, Like the birds
Speaker 3: taught each other how to open the milk jugs across
Speaker 3: Europe and like it just over the course of decades,
Speaker 3: it was like, now birds can open these milk jugs
Speaker 3: they used to not be able to because they can
Speaker 3: teach each other. So I just learned about another type
Speaker 3: of animal making a work of art that's really like beautiful.
Speaker 3: So scientists kept noticing these like large crop circles on
Speaker 3: the ocean floor in the subtropical waters off southern Japan.
Speaker 3: There's these like big intricately designed circles that have all
Speaker 3: these like squiggles and you know, indentations in the sand.
Speaker 3: It's just like and you have to like rise up
Speaker 3: above it to like fully appreciate it. It's pretty cool,
Speaker 3: Like you need to zoom out, like you need to
Speaker 3: need to zoom out. That's the whole perspect get it,
Speaker 3: And scientists a really what what weird force is making
Speaker 3: art like this that seems like it's designed to be
Speaker 3: appreciated from a different perspective thing you would have while
Speaker 3: making it. And then they saw these little horny male
Speaker 3: pufferfish doing it basically as like an elaborate mating ritual.
Speaker 3: They just work twenty four hours a day, and because
Speaker 3: it's under at the bottom of the sea, there's like
Speaker 3: various currents that are like fucking it up, and so
Speaker 3: they're just repeatedly over and over having to like make
Speaker 3: this design, set it up, reset it up, redo it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's like sissyfician basically yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: But like for twenty four hours. And then if they
Speaker 3: do a good enough job, the female pufferfish laser eggs
Speaker 3: in the middle of the circle.
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
Speaker 3: Even like the BBC article that I found talking about
Speaker 3: it calls the designs like random squiggles in some places
Speaker 3: where it's like I don't know, like they say, First,
Speaker 3: first the male traces basic circular shapes that embellishes them
Speaker 3: with ridges by swimming inward at different angles. Next he
Speaker 3: fills in the circle with doodles or of random squiggly lines.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, man, you don't know. You
Speaker 3: don't read puffer fish, you don't know what the I bet.
Speaker 3: I bet the language looked like random. And then they
Speaker 3: also have to like add their like, and we we
Speaker 3: think that they do this because it like sweeps oxygen
Speaker 3: rich water towards the middle, which is cool if that's
Speaker 3: actually true, but it also feels like they just needed
Speaker 3: like some sort of survival based mechanism for it to
Speaker 3: tie into being like we just did something dope to
Speaker 3: attract people, which is just like basically art. And this
Speaker 3: does tie back to birds. I'm going to tie back
Speaker 3: to birds, folks. There's this book Evolution of Beauty that
Speaker 3: looks at birds doing like all these elaborate mating dances
Speaker 3: and says that it doesn't it's not because like they're
Speaker 3: showing off how good they'll be at like getting.
Speaker 2: Food or whatever. It's just beauty. It's just right.
Speaker 3: The trees are full of singing flowers that exist just
Speaker 3: to be like beautiful for each other. And they do
Speaker 3: it in like really complex ways, and like one of
Speaker 3: the birds uses forced perspective. They like design their nest
Speaker 3: with like different trinkets, and like they will put smaller
Speaker 3: ones two larger ones in a way that makes it
Speaker 3: look like it's like going away from you.
Speaker 2: Which yeah, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like cuddlefish have been shown to be able to like
Speaker 3: keep track of like weird three dimens, like very complex
Speaker 3: three dimensional equations when they're camouflaging themselves, because like if
Speaker 3: they're in a tank and they see someone walking around
Speaker 3: the room, they'll camouflage themselves, keeping in mind like Okay,
Speaker 3: they're twenty feet out, so to them, like the thing
Speaker 3: behind me is what the fuck? Yeah, Like it's wild,
Speaker 3: Like they just can do shit that I think we've
Speaker 3: just like we'll look back on our writing about animals
Speaker 3: up to this point in a lot of cases and
Speaker 3: be like we were just like so so dismissive. Just
Speaker 3: like they're probably like doing it because they want to
Speaker 3: signal day can be early bird to get to worm.
Speaker 3: And it's like, nah, it's it's actually they're doing art
Speaker 3: in very complex.
Speaker 2: Ways, and they're talking idiots and they're.
Speaker 3: Talking dumb, dumb. So that's my underrated What what's something
Speaker 3: you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Miles referees, referees, referees and sporting events.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some there's a lot of our sponsored segment about
Speaker 3: how AI should replace.
Speaker 2: Referees, right, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like it might have got that Brandon Stewart
Speaker 1: call right last night.
Speaker 2: But there's been some.
Speaker 1: Interesting calls throughout the NBA post WNBA postseason and the
Speaker 1: finals finale happened last night where the Liberty beat the
Speaker 1: Link but little contentious going into overtime.
Speaker 2: Was it a foul? Was it not a foul?
Speaker 1: I mean, Cheryl Reeve, you know, the coach of the
Speaker 1: Links and you know team coach of Team USA who
Speaker 1: won the gold is like broll. We've had two fucking
Speaker 1: championships just stolen from us from bad from bad calls.
Speaker 2: One of that was to the Sparks, and you know,
Speaker 2: we don't have to get into that.
Speaker 1: But like, aside from that, like there's just a lot
Speaker 1: of ambient anger about refereeing. I feel like, really that's
Speaker 1: like increasing more and more over the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: especially when there's like more replay technology. We're like, well,
Speaker 1: we want to give the referees a chance to be
Speaker 1: able to like right their wrongs. This also happened like
Speaker 1: in the English Premier League over the weekend. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of like inconsistent calls or like fouls of
Speaker 1: the same type were not being penalized in the same way,
Speaker 1: and video referees are not having asistant calls, so whether
Speaker 1: justified or not. It just feels like there's just more
Speaker 1: and more awareness of refs making these game shifting calls,
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like a good ref is
Speaker 1: a ref who knows how to manage the game and
Speaker 1: also understands that like higher intensity games call for some nuance,
Speaker 1: Like it can't always be like the letter of if
Speaker 1: you call everything. If it's if you're gonna be to
Speaker 1: the letter of the law, you have to be to
Speaker 1: the letter of the law, like every single time. And
Speaker 1: I just don't know if that's really possible, because it's
Speaker 1: also an entertainment thing, and a lot of people, I think,
Speaker 1: get more.
Speaker 2: And more like.
Speaker 1: And I know part of that is a sort of
Speaker 1: part is in fanness. Part is in fandom as well,
Speaker 1: But like there are times when like you're just looking
Speaker 1: at an instant replay over and over again.
Speaker 2: They're like, they're gonna review this, and you're like, surely
Speaker 2: they can't.
Speaker 3: What okay, so they can't get it wrong after the
Speaker 3: repay when they see it again in slow motions And I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to stand by what I said before. We're uh,
Speaker 2: yeah we're going with that one. Yeah, we're going with
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong, and I don't want a cop to it,
Speaker 1: so let's keep it moving.
Speaker 2: But yeah, anyway, that's that's that's just something I've.
Speaker 1: I've been watching over the weekend a lot of sports
Speaker 1: and a lot of fan arsenal.
Speaker 3: Is a you know what fucking did this weekend? You
Speaker 3: know it did every time? It does every fucking time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: every time. But I'll leave that there. I don't need
Speaker 3: to get into the specifics of my pain.
Speaker 1: But I was just saying, I was just saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's universal, it's a universally shared frustration that referees are
Speaker 1: like they're like activist referees, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you're not keeping the game intact, Like you're saying,
Speaker 1: like I'm the main character and I'm going to decide
Speaker 1: this thing should happen. And then so anyway, that's me,
Speaker 1: that's me being a partisan fan.
Speaker 3: I wonder I like a psychological profile, Like what if
Speaker 3: there's a part of the ideal psychological profile that like
Speaker 3: makes a referee that is just like contrarian, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, because they have to be willing to
Speaker 3: eat so much shit like from the masses, right, you know,
Speaker 3: like right widely derided and like hated by entire cities,
Speaker 3: Like I wonder if that then requires a certain personality
Speaker 3: type that's like, you know, came out of the womb
Speaker 3: being like, fuck you, that's why, right, yeah, oh you
Speaker 3: know my name?
Speaker 2: Fuck you, that's my name.
Speaker 1: I feel like in my time like playing organized sports,
Speaker 1: you had refs that were clearly like, I suck at
Speaker 1: this sport and this is just what the only way
Speaker 1: I can kind of get near the game.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I just like the game so.
Speaker 1: Much so, but I also have a chip on my shoulder,
Speaker 1: so I'll be kind of like an asshole as a ref.
Speaker 1: You do have like like rule book nerd refs who
Speaker 1: truly are just like I want to adjudicate this sporting
Speaker 1: competition as best as I can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 2: I'm sure there either way would be.
Speaker 3: I hate them man Nerds. Fuck my least favorite dude.
Speaker 3: Get out of my sports nerds.
Speaker 1: Man, but also come on, give me some fair calls
Speaker 1: Nerd please.
Speaker 3: My overrated is just any I've noticed it happening on
Speaker 3: Microsoft teams a lot, which I don't think anybody uses,
Speaker 3: but like it also I guess happens on FaceTime the
Speaker 3: thumbs up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where does it happen on zoom?
Speaker 1: Yeah it does right now, Okay watch three two one
Speaker 1: and boo.
Speaker 3: There it is where it uses ai, I think, to
Speaker 3: read our gestures to then underline our gestures with a
Speaker 3: like mog thumbs up or thumbs down or like you know, laughter,
Speaker 3: you know, just so much dumb shit. I've never seen
Speaker 3: this be additive in the least bit. Like there, I
Speaker 3: can't and I can't.
Speaker 2: Conceive of a scenario where it would be additive.
Speaker 1: I feel like I get like, for like accessibility issues
Speaker 1: that like might be one thing, but there to raise
Speaker 1: your hand like in a meeting, there there's usually just
Speaker 1: like a button you can click where you don't have
Speaker 1: to like physically be like wait for the camera to
Speaker 1: be like, oh it has recognized my hand inconsistently like
Speaker 1: a terrible referee. And yeah, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like one of those things where's
Speaker 1: like look what it can do now, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't care if this, like this big lighter is
Speaker 1: also a can opener, Like it's not a function I
Speaker 1: needed on this other thing.
Speaker 3: And when it does get my hand gesture wrong, I
Speaker 3: do stop the call to uh tell it to get
Speaker 3: its eyes checked and ask it as shit for brands.
Speaker 1: Hey, zebra, why don't you go, Hey, you're lafe for
Speaker 1: your shift a foot locker.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know, Like they never get it right.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you stop a call because you accidentally showed your
Speaker 3: thumb on a meeting at a point where you have
Speaker 3: absolutely no opinion and are trying to keep your head down,
Speaker 3: and it's just like.
Speaker 2: Oh, wow, Jack agrees. Do you care to chime in
Speaker 2: on that? Yeah? No, that was an errant thumb. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry the AI is tripping. I was doing the hand
Speaker 2: jive for some reason. Uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like best case scenario, someone is giving the thumbs up
Speaker 3: and you're just like adding an emoji to like something
Speaker 3: that was already communicated via thumbs up thumbs up the
Speaker 3: original emoji, Like you don't, you don't need it right right,
Speaker 3: like you Sometimes you need to do the heart the
Speaker 3: heart emoji with your hands to like, hey, it'll create
Speaker 3: a heart emogive if you do the heart thing with
Speaker 3: your hands, the hands are doing the work for you.
Speaker 2: You don't, you don't need to do it, but.
Speaker 1: It recognized what your hand did through the intell machine learning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then put that form on the screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just tech people saying, look look
Speaker 3: at me. Yeah, I can see how it would make
Speaker 3: sense inside Silicon Valley. Uh, and it makes sense absolutely
Speaker 3: nowhere else. I feel like, but let me know if
Speaker 3: you got if you got the answer for why this
Speaker 3: makes sense, why it persists, why it is like default
Speaker 3: on on all these applications. Uh, don't let me know,
Speaker 3: but you know, just feel good about knowing something that
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess let's take a quick break
Speaker 3: and we'll come back and get into some news, and
Speaker 3: we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump had a weekend, didn't he, folks us
Speaker 3: two weeks y'all.
Speaker 2: Served. It's so wild fifteen days. So it's interesting.
Speaker 3: So his campaign said he was going to begin previewing
Speaker 3: this weekend his closing argument with election day nearly two
Speaker 3: weeks away, and in that public appearance, he paid tribute
Speaker 3: to native Pennsylvanian Arnold Palmer. This is giant dick Yuh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh right, yeah, that thing,
Speaker 2: that thing, that thing, Yeah, that was cool. You have that?
Speaker 2: Oh do we have that? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well let's just pull this up. This is him just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we're here in the Trope, Pennsylvania home of Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 1: He really loved this place.
Speaker 2: And then he switches it up to this.
Speaker 4: But Arnold Palmer was all man. And I say that
Speaker 4: in all due respect to women, and I love women.
Speaker 1: But this guy, okay, but this guy, what was a
Speaker 1: better woman than any of you?
Speaker 2: Will be?
Speaker 3: Guy?
Speaker 2: That was all man. Oh, this man.
Speaker 4: Was strong and tough. And I refused to say it.
Speaker 4: But when he took showers with the other pros, they
Speaker 4: came out of there they said, oh my god, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: I had to say it.
Speaker 2: No, no, you did not know you did it? What.
Speaker 3: I hate to say it, But when he took showers
Speaker 3: with the other golfers, Wait, are all the PGA golfers
Speaker 3: just like showering together after I wouldn't expect that.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, aren't you like? But like, aren't you
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you're subtly eliminated. You're out of
Speaker 1: contention at certain points. No, I mean, I guess everyone
Speaker 1: has to complete their rounds of golf.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess, but the showers are communal the time that
Speaker 3: we all come together.
Speaker 2: Hey wait, wait, hey, you want your shower already.
Speaker 1: Arnold isn't even in here yet, man, hold on, No,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just so wild. Yeah, he had to
Speaker 1: say it, though he had he prefaced it in the
Speaker 1: way that all fans proprietors of toxic masculinity do.
Speaker 3: Like, I love women, folks, I'm about to talk about guys, Dick,
Speaker 3: so like, just be right up.
Speaker 2: Love women. God, I love women, right, God, I love women.
Speaker 2: But this guy's hog, Oh my god, a thing of beauty.
Speaker 2: Holy shit. But also, let's be real. He didn't say
Speaker 2: in what direction. It was unbelievable.
Speaker 3: He had the tiniest so they could be a man
Speaker 3: from his own heart. Yeah, maybe he's like the Greeks
Speaker 3: where they like admired a perk little you know, perfect.
Speaker 1: Hey, adrenaline in the heat of battle. We'll do that,
Speaker 1: you know, so you never know, you never.
Speaker 2: Know, swinging that wood, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, and even like the like construction worker dudes
Speaker 1: behind him were like, oh man, like they did like
Speaker 1: the laugh that wasn't like, holy shit, this guy's killing it.
Speaker 2: They're like, ohja, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: I had to say, we have women that are highly
Speaker 3: sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as
Speaker 3: a man, is what he said after after that, I
Speaker 3: don't I don't know what that means. Yeah, So Mike
Speaker 3: Johnson sounds perfect, h Mike Johnson. So Mike Johnson speaker,
Speaker 3: And uh, he's the guy who monitors and is monitored
Speaker 3: by his teenage son's pornography intake. You know, if he
Speaker 3: watches porn his teenage son finds out about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yal relig Yeah, he's covered eyes old coveted eyes. Johnson
Speaker 3: had to like go on CNN Sunday and answer for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is funny because he all, this is like
Speaker 1: what happens because it's always like is this your king
Speaker 1: every time and he's like, come on, here's the thing
Speaker 1: you have to understand about eating pets or whatever. So
Speaker 1: this is him trying to pivot out of the Arnold
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer penis commentary.
Speaker 5: Why is he talking about Arnold Palmer's penis in front
Speaker 5: of Pennsylvania voters?
Speaker 2: God, the alliteration j you seem to like that line
Speaker 2: a lot. Let me tell you that I don't let
Speaker 2: me around the country.
Speaker 5: Just say something I don't want to be talking about, right,
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is out there saying it. It is what
Speaker 5: you continue to let's talk about.
Speaker 2: But you keep talking about it.
Speaker 5: He is out there talking about I'll address it. Lets it.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't say it again. We don't have to say it.
Speaker 2: That's just where it ends. Okay, don't say it again. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's not wow, wow, you will you keep talking about it.
Speaker 1: This is like when like when people have like these
Speaker 1: like terrible relationship moments that like probably have damaged a relationship,
Speaker 1: but one partner is like, well you you keep talking
Speaker 1: about the fact that I was cheating.
Speaker 3: You know, and it's your decision, whether it's your favorite topic.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's the one fucking.
Speaker 2: Bring I didn't say it to tell him to bring
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: This is what is coming out of his mouth as
Speaker 1: he again makes his final you know, closing our arguments
Speaker 1: as to why he should be voted for, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I admire Arnold Palmer's dick.
Speaker 2: Okay, will you vote for me now? Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3: The argument, by the way, goes on to ultimately be
Speaker 3: shouldn't we give Donald Trump some credit for all the
Speaker 3: parts of the speech that weren't about Arnold Palmer's giant
Speaker 3: dick R or microscopic.
Speaker 1: We don't know, you know what I mean. I still
Speaker 1: want to hold up my gosh. Oh, Mike, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: This is just like beautiful. What if it was just
Speaker 3: like a beautiful cock? You know, it couldn't be Yeah.
Speaker 1: And we never know Trump say that, Wow, then they
Speaker 1: would drool folks. And it's like the whole they have
Speaker 1: to lower the bar so much, it's so offensive, even
Speaker 1: more and more.
Speaker 2: It's like, what about the other stuff? He said? Okay,
Speaker 2: do you want to know what else he said?
Speaker 3: He said he could outdrive Arnold Palmer, mean go, he said, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's like when he was the maybe seventy five he
Speaker 3: mind would be a good four or five yards past him.
Speaker 2: Okay, this year pitching yourself.
Speaker 1: Then then he did a casual, you know, brought up
Speaker 1: another potential Logan Act violation by saying he spoke with
Speaker 1: bb net and Yahoo over the weekend of killing of
Speaker 1: Yah Yah sin War and you're like, what he's like?
Speaker 1: I told him he can't listen to Biden and if
Speaker 1: in seed it, and if he did, he wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to do the things that he did.
Speaker 2: He also said Kamala is a shit vice president. He
Speaker 2: said a lot of fucking nonsense.
Speaker 1: So I mean, Mike Johnson, do you want to talk
Speaker 1: about any of those things too, or just do you
Speaker 1: want to ignore?
Speaker 2: He's like, can we just ignore the other things?
Speaker 3: He said, we just like move along and talk about
Speaker 3: Like here, I have like kind of a cut together,
Speaker 3: auto tuned thing with just various scraps of what he
Speaker 3: said that kind of make.
Speaker 2: It sound coherent, right exactly.
Speaker 3: And somehow that moment was upstaged by a press event
Speaker 3: in which Trump pretended to work at McDonald's, uh, just
Speaker 3: to I think the idea was like to burn Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris for her claims of having actually worked at a McDonald's.
Speaker 2: But I think she did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Well, he has no proof that she did,
Speaker 1: and she says she did. It doesn't seem it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem anyone's like, you know, denying the fact that that happened.
Speaker 2: But keyword here, she actually worked and you at.
Speaker 3: Any point in her life you larped as a fucking
Speaker 3: lost old man who wandered into the back of a McDonald's,
Speaker 3: is what That whole fucking thing looked like, yeah, he
Speaker 3: even manned the drive through, just total like killer photo
Speaker 3: shoot opportunity, very similar. In a just world, this would
Speaker 3: have been just the ben Affleck Super Bowl commercial, not
Speaker 3: a campaign event for a presidential candidate.
Speaker 2: But alas we are where we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that whole event was really every single detail like
Speaker 1: makes your eyes water in the bad way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the restaurant was actually closed. The customers were screened
Speaker 3: by the Secret Service and positioned before his arrival, which
Speaker 3: obviously kind of to be expected.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, like this is why.
Speaker 3: Presidential campaigns don't usually do something like this, because you
Speaker 3: can't actually do it, and otherwise it's just a weird
Speaker 3: like transparent photo right exactly, nobody.
Speaker 2: Is going to trust and feel like really shitty with
Speaker 2: your pre screen customers who also couldn't even order food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't order food, He just they just got
Speaker 3: whatever Trump gave them.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean I think this is a good
Speaker 1: just example of like how this is Donald Trump's entire
Speaker 1: existence is like just a bunch of setup opportunities for
Speaker 1: him to pretend that he contributes fucking anything. Okay, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and go there. You won't even have to actually work,
Speaker 1: You just touch the gross stuff the poor people, dude
Speaker 1: as they toil, and then you can leave after forty
Speaker 1: five minutes or an hour, however fucking long he was there.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, like the customers, like they didn't go as
Speaker 1: far as be like, yeah, they weren't even customers. There's
Speaker 1: just like his own staff and a bunch of rental
Speaker 1: cars just doing the loop around and dressing like actual people.
Speaker 3: But I'm sure they got like some very wealthy people
Speaker 3: to like poney up a bunch of money to be,
Speaker 3: to be, to have the good fortune.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He he loves to give fast food out like this.
Speaker 3: That is that is his love language, as we saw
Speaker 3: when the college football championship winning team went to the
Speaker 3: White House and he just served them all like big
Speaker 3: holes and McDonald's in a room that just must have
Speaker 3: smelled like when it started, it must have smelled like farts.
Speaker 2: And then holy shit.
Speaker 1: Did you see the clip of him trying to work
Speaker 1: the deep fryer like on the fry station. No, there's
Speaker 1: one where this guy who's working there is like trying
Speaker 1: to show him like and then you like submerge the
Speaker 1: basket into the fryar.
Speaker 2: And Trump looked so lost.
Speaker 1: Trying to do it, and then there's a moment where
Speaker 1: like the fries are coming out and like the guys
Speaker 1: like showed him like and then you and then you
Speaker 1: kind of assault them and Trump put I think he
Speaker 1: puts like way too much so because I goes, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: like you.
Speaker 2: Just don't know.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be like, oh no, not like that.
Speaker 1: But it's like someone who like, you know, higher status,
Speaker 1: you have to just be like, well, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to point that out.
Speaker 2: I'll just present He's like, bring this one up.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's lifting a fryer out, he's shaking him out.
Speaker 2: Good for you, Donald killing.
Speaker 1: He's gonna bring it over so dump them there, and
Speaker 1: he's dumping them in into the under the heat lamp.
Speaker 2: But this salt part is funny. He just goes right
Speaker 2: it right up there. Yeah, and then do you want
Speaker 2: to do this over here?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You got to do that one right there, so grab that.
Speaker 2: Give him extra no ye because here he went over
Speaker 2: all right. Well, luckily these people are fucking paying.
Speaker 1: For this ship so they can deal with their hypertension
Speaker 1: and whatever they whatever way they choose.
Speaker 3: That does highlight one of my favorite things about Fast
Speaker 3: food restaurants these days. Is that they all sound identical
Speaker 3: to like an intensive care unit. Yeah, because yeah, the
Speaker 3: friar like lets off an alarm that like all of
Speaker 3: the employees are completely anerged too, after like their second
Speaker 3: day on the job, and so it just sounds like
Speaker 3: a life support system. My son and I go to
Speaker 3: a veggie grill every Sunday and spend like an hour
Speaker 3: there and it's just working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's working the friars.
Speaker 3: We get behind the desk, you know, but behind the
Speaker 3: counter and just get her hands dirty.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this buffalo cauliflower, folks, you gotta love it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that's a really good point though,
Speaker 3: Like this is who he is, Like he's been a
Speaker 3: professional spokesmodel for an extremely long time.
Speaker 2: Like he's is.
Speaker 3: The way he was making his money primarily from the
Speaker 3: Apprentice on was by lending his name to products, letting
Speaker 3: people license his name, and then he just kind of
Speaker 3: stands there, which also is kind of the ideal Republican president.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like that's what Reagan was, was just
Speaker 3: like an empty suit who the Republican operatives were able
Speaker 3: to just like kind of hide behind and get their.
Speaker 2: Shit done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're our neocon death puppet. Now let us
Speaker 1: work your little strings.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, but yeah, it should probably go without saying.
Speaker 3: But just to confirm Trump's first term made things way
Speaker 3: worse for fast food workers, specifically McDonald's workers, Like they
Speaker 3: forced a settlement with McDonald's and its workers in a
Speaker 3: dispute over unfair labor practices.
Speaker 6: So huh, which, yeah, it seems like as he like
Speaker 6: he was taking questions from the press through the drive
Speaker 6: through window, obviously another photo op, and then one just
Speaker 6: bluntly he's like, yeah, what about raising the federal minimum
Speaker 6: wage before that, because it hasn't happened in a long time,
Speaker 6: And he's like then just pivoted off to something like
Speaker 6: completely didn't answer it, and the entire like gaggle of
Speaker 6: reporters go.
Speaker 2: What about the minimum wage?
Speaker 1: He just like turned his body to like a probably
Speaker 1: conservative newest person to be like, how hard were you
Speaker 1: working today, mister president. Oh my gosh, your forearms must
Speaker 1: be fucking just stinging from all that work you did.
Speaker 2: So good. Oh my goodness, these I've never had fries
Speaker 2: this good, mister president. These are so cool. I'm like
Speaker 2: I'm seeing streaks of light as I eat them. But I, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: My face is visibly shriveling as I eat these holy sweating.
Speaker 3: I think I just mummified to the right side of
Speaker 3: my face somehow eating one of these fries. All right,
Speaker 3: let's take a quick break and we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 3: talk to Ela Musk, we'll talk other stories that happen
Speaker 3: over the weekend. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 3: And so Elon just announced that his pack will give
Speaker 3: away one million dollars every day to a registered voter
Speaker 3: who signs his pro Trump petition in swing states only.
Speaker 3: So he's basically turning voting into a game show in
Speaker 3: order to ensure that Trump supporters are all registered to vote.
Speaker 1: I like he's doesn't just feel like a little too little,
Speaker 1: Like we're fifteen days out, Yeah you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, I guess you're just turning the volume up that
Speaker 2: quick now.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you could have been doing this for
Speaker 1: a month if this was really about voter I don't
Speaker 1: know what I don't I don't even know what the
Speaker 1: fuck this is about anymore.
Speaker 2: It's like so absurd looking. I don't even know how
Speaker 2: to wrap my head around this.
Speaker 3: But he does like to just step into a situation
Speaker 3: when it's too later. He's completely around his depths, right,
Speaker 3: I mean his super has been.
Speaker 1: Boy, they've been working away, they've been working at anytime
Speaker 1: like very you know, I don't I don't.
Speaker 3: Always trust political operatives and political strategists, but uh, they
Speaker 3: seem to uniformly be like they suck it like his
Speaker 3: his uh super pack. Like one of the things they've
Speaker 3: been seen spending money on is just ads on Facebook
Speaker 3: that are just screen caps of Elon musk tweets.
Speaker 2: So there's just like trying to make him feel good
Speaker 2: about himself.
Speaker 1: Hey, Elon, do you want to do an ad where
Speaker 1: you express your concerns like on camera to people so
Speaker 1: they connect.
Speaker 2: No, just put up one of my old tweets on my.
Speaker 3: Tweets are actually lull copters, so raffel I actually don't
Speaker 3: know the same, but oh my god, uh yeah, and
Speaker 3: I don't know he's literally paying them off with giant
Speaker 3: novelty checks. Our writer Jam said, this is the kind
Speaker 3: of shit that plays on TV. In the background of RoboCup.
Speaker 2: Behind a big American flag.
Speaker 3: American flag, Yeah, giant American flag woman in a Trump
Speaker 3: T shirt holding the check above her head just with
Speaker 3: like gaping smile. Yeah, this is we should have mentioned
Speaker 3: this is uh transparently like very illegal.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Like Joshapiro, who obviously is a Democrat but you know,
Speaker 3: has a legal background, pointed out that this is, uh,
Speaker 3: you're you're not allowed to offer cash prizes only to
Speaker 3: register voters. Uh, it's basically bribing people to register to vote,
Speaker 3: which is punishable by up to five years in prison.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I wonder and Elon Musk is really going
Speaker 3: to go to prison.
Speaker 1: Well it's funny because you know, like there was that
Speaker 1: clip when he was on Tucker Carlson, like he was
Speaker 1: talking with Tucker Carlson and he's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: if Kamala wins, like I'm fucked. Yeah yeah, and that
Speaker 1: well some people he's like he's like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go to jail or whatever. Like I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know if all dreams can happen for everyone
Speaker 1: so quickly, but I think it does show that he
Speaker 1: understands that he will he can only flourish under someone
Speaker 1: like a like a Trump in office versus other people
Speaker 1: who are like maybe actually looking at what he's doing,
Speaker 1: his illegal behavior all of that. Yeah, because like this
Speaker 1: is even if it's like giving it away for the
Speaker 1: like what they call like a lottery chance at winning
Speaker 1: something that is still considered like up completely beyond the pale.
Speaker 3: Right now, Like sweepstakes are generally like legally fraught. Like
Speaker 3: so yeah, I feel like they're just hiding behind that.
Speaker 3: But I just hope he has good legal representation because man,
Speaker 3: this could be bad for him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I hope it's a good legal representation because
Speaker 1: you know this d o J.
Speaker 2: Is going to do something about it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm like that's the part I'm really thinking about it
Speaker 1: is like, is will anything come of this?
Speaker 2: Like everyone is pointing to like statutes.
Speaker 1: I mean like this is clearly violating that, and it's
Speaker 1: like I don't know, man, maybe I'll do with it
Speaker 1: after depends on who's president.
Speaker 2: Sorry, folks, it's I'm just trying to get We're just
Speaker 2: trying to get to election day.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: I got a lot of tables. Man, look at these cuttlefish. Uh,
Speaker 3: it's interesting. So I was listening to an episode of
Speaker 3: on the Media. They were pointing out that the five
Speaker 3: biggest individual donors in this election cycle gave to conservative causes,
Speaker 3: which is the first time that's ever happened, which I
Speaker 3: assume I would have assumed that would happen all the time.
Speaker 3: But if you think about like Elon Musk probably eight
Speaker 3: years ago, was not like an out and out like
Speaker 3: right wing character like it, it feels like things are
Speaker 3: accelerating in the direction of like a class war being
Speaker 3: waged by like the billionaire class on the rest of
Speaker 3: us that like it's just it's happened.
Speaker 2: We've just accepted it as like, yeah, of course that's happened. Yeah,
Speaker 2: of course that's what they'll do. But and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: like I don't know.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of the Business Plot, where like the
Speaker 3: richest people in America tried to overthrow the government and
Speaker 3: install a fascist military dictator like during FDR's administration.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. And it feels like as we.
Speaker 3: Get closer and closer to like the possibility of outright
Speaker 3: fascism and authoritarianism with Trump, like the billionaires, the richest
Speaker 3: people in the country are like stepping.
Speaker 2: Up and being like, yeah, I mean, of course, please
Speaker 2: protect my money.
Speaker 1: I mean, because everyone's like coming out of the fucking
Speaker 1: crypt the whole crypto industry also just being like sorry, folks, yeah,
Speaker 1: we kind of we need this to work for us,
Speaker 1: and here's all this money to sway it. And it's
Speaker 1: it's also interesting too, like America pack his pack like
Speaker 1: it was also yeah, Elon Musk's pack was just all
Speaker 1: these other top huge MAGA donors could just dump their
Speaker 1: own money into it. Musk has given seventy five million
Speaker 1: to this committee so far. But the other thing that
Speaker 1: is really interesting. A lot of people have talked about
Speaker 1: how the Trump campaign has been really bad with like
Speaker 1: their ground game, like they are not really doing any
Speaker 1: kind of real the proper voter turnout kind of initiatives
Speaker 1: that you'd see most presidential campaigns, or they're like or
Speaker 1: they're emphasizing some places at the total expense of other
Speaker 1: really competitive states. And in this article is saying America
Speaker 1: Back has formed a crucial part of the Trump campaign's
Speaker 1: ground game and is running major canvassing and get out
Speaker 1: the vote initiatives in swing states that could impact the election,
Speaker 1: including Pennsylvania. So it's almost like Elon was seeing, or
Speaker 1: these other donors are seeing like, oh, man, like we
Speaker 1: can't just give him money, like we actually need to
Speaker 1: like help in these other ways to actually help turn
Speaker 1: votes out. And yeah, so now you do is you
Speaker 1: you have to vow to vote for the first and
Speaker 1: second Amendment. That's how they're coding it to be like
Speaker 1: you're going to vote for Trump. But hey, Kamala has
Speaker 1: a glock, so you know you should still take the money.
Speaker 1: You can still take the money, you know, or do
Speaker 1: whatever you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she like it feels like the wealthies
Speaker 3: hold over our political process was more of a you know,
Speaker 3: discussion point in twenty twenty and more even more of
Speaker 3: one in twenty sixteen. But it just feels like we're
Speaker 3: getting to a place where, yeah, the wealthy just have
Speaker 3: After Citizens United, this was kind of inevitable. The more
Speaker 3: money they have, the more they're able to wield power.
Speaker 3: The more power they wield, the more money they're able
Speaker 3: to steal, you.
Speaker 2: Know, by evading taxes.
Speaker 3: And it's just like we're over a decade into this
Speaker 3: vicious cycle and they're on the verge of like having
Speaker 3: a legitimate shot at installing a dictator, which is like
Speaker 3: if you just look at the extremely wealthy in America
Speaker 3: as like a continuous like organism from early twentieth century
Speaker 3: like Gilded Age like up to today, like that's kind
Speaker 3: of what they've always wanted, right, And then like Trump.
Speaker 3: Trump had a meeting with fossil fuel executives where he
Speaker 3: was like, get me a billion dollars and I'll get
Speaker 3: you whatever you need.
Speaker 2: I think that's a direct.
Speaker 3: Get me a billion and I'll get you whatever you
Speaker 3: need right to quote.
Speaker 1: And they're even like, grow dude, we don't even we
Speaker 1: don't even say it like that, man, but thanks, well,
Speaker 1: we'll think about it. The other thing is like you know,
Speaker 1: as we see this like aging Trump, you hear more
Speaker 1: and more rumblings about like what the actual administration maybe
Speaker 1: or not be, which is does Trump even have the energy?
Speaker 1: Like he's falling asleep at shit already, right, he has
Speaker 1: no energy. He's canceling all these fucking events. And you
Speaker 1: see someone like JD. Vance, who is like handpicked by
Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley donor class, and they're kind of.
Speaker 2: Like, here, here, my hare might be the thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe if they win, you can pardoned the Trump like
Speaker 1: he'll he'll resign and then you're president and then you
Speaker 1: can pardon him and then we have a much younger,
Speaker 1: willing and able bodied person to to really to really
Speaker 1: fuck things up.
Speaker 3: So well, yeah, I mean I think they just like
Speaker 3: haul him out as long as he's alive, you know,
Speaker 3: they're just going to do what they did with Reagan,
Speaker 3: you know, like Reagan. Reagan's second uh ah, said Semester.
Speaker 3: Reagan's second administration, second term was like he didn't he
Speaker 3: was like invisible, Like he was behind the scenes for
Speaker 3: most of it because they were hiding him because he
Speaker 3: was declining. But he was able to get a lot
Speaker 3: of damage done, you know, despite the fact that even
Speaker 3: from the start he was like, don't give me briefings
Speaker 3: that are more than a paragraph.
Speaker 2: You know. He was just like I'll kind of leave
Speaker 2: it up to everybody else.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just I don't know, like they're they're
Speaker 3: there is a hopefulness in the sense of, like it
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be like this. There there's such a
Speaker 3: clear problem with like the power that the wealthy wheeled
Speaker 3: over the system. But it's just like during the Civil
Speaker 3: War there was no tax on income like that that
Speaker 3: was the thing that like people had to fight for.
Speaker 3: So like there are these instances of like progress that
Speaker 3: have been made, these battles that are won by working
Speaker 3: class people over like billionaires, but they just kind of
Speaker 3: get written out of the historical record and instead, you know,
Speaker 3: we name buildings after the billionaires that were fighting against that.
Speaker 1: It's just so much easier for like American discourse to
Speaker 1: be like, well, what's wrong with these poor people?
Speaker 2: And why are they on drugs? And to be like,
Speaker 2: how come like.
Speaker 1: There there's like eight people who's if you combined all
Speaker 1: their wealth, they have more wealth than fucking everybody, like
Speaker 1: half the planet or some shit, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like that, The conversations need to be around that.
Speaker 1: But again, class consciousness in this country is not easy
Speaker 1: to come by these days, especially now when you have
Speaker 1: people like you know, Elon Musk sort of being like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm like you dude, like hang out with me and
Speaker 1: help me and do what do as I say, And
Speaker 1: that's how we'll have a better tomorrow, right, will we?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos barely paid taxes and got a four thousand
Speaker 3: dollars tax credit that was aimed at helping parents who
Speaker 3: are struggling check to check. Like, that's that's where we're at.
Speaker 1: Who is his accountant? Can I get a deal like that?
Speaker 3: He has like an entire massive company's worth of accountants
Speaker 3: like working NonStop to pull shit like that off.
Speaker 2: But look, I pay five million to save three billion. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's an episode of the podcast search Engine where they
Speaker 3: like interview this pro public reporter who leaked like a
Speaker 3: rogue IRIS agent leaked them all of the text documents
Speaker 3: of like the top five hundred wealthiest people in the country.
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 3: And yet it's just horrible, like transparent abuses of power,
Speaker 3: abuses of the system that should be enraging, but because
Speaker 3: they're you know, we have a pro wealth, pro capital
Speaker 3: mainstream media, so like those things just kind of get
Speaker 3: washed through and yeah, yeah, so it's a bomber, but
Speaker 3: it is a problem that we have that could be solved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean at least we have an American Psycho
Speaker 1: remake that we can look forward to or not.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about this story. It's so there's
Speaker 3: rumors that Luca, why didn't you know is working? That's
Speaker 3: the guy made like call me by your name and
Speaker 3: challengers and whose name I'm probably pronounced. I can't call
Speaker 3: you by your name because I don't.
Speaker 2: Know how to pronounce it guad.
Speaker 3: He so apparently is in talks to remake American Psycho,
Speaker 3: although the studio is stressing that this is a new
Speaker 3: adaptation of the book by Brett Easton ellis not a
Speaker 3: remake of Mary Heron's film starring Christian Bale, which is
Speaker 3: a classic. That is probably the movie that I've seen
Speaker 3: the most. People just missed the point of so so drastically.
Speaker 1: Be like, dude, Patrick Bateman is so fucking dope. Dude,
Speaker 1: that's isn't that that's the name of character.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Patrick Bateman?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like I know people who I reme in
Speaker 1: the beginning like dude, this guy's fuck, this guy's a machine.
Speaker 2: I was like, bro, I don't that's not what this
Speaker 2: is about. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I ended up at one point in college like with
Speaker 3: a you know, lacrosse player at his place and he
Speaker 3: was showing me that and being like, dude, so sick, right,
Speaker 3: like this guy, Oh, I fucking love this part and
Speaker 3: just like the weirdest, the weirdest taste in that movie,
Speaker 3: in particular, the weird they're like I got.
Speaker 1: Into Genesis because of this guy exactly. You're like, oh boy, no, no, no, no, no, the.
Speaker 3: Book has some really funny parts, like where Patrick Babin
Speaker 3: like write the long, deeply thought out reviews of band
Speaker 3: like Genesis and all these things that I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like the first movie adaptation like really nailed it.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't see the need for this. But Jack,
Speaker 2: we're in the age of grinse and repeat and ring
Speaker 2: it out for as much fucking money as possible even
Speaker 2: if it makes no sense, and potentially have already done
Speaker 2: it before.
Speaker 3: And he's a good filmmaker, so I have to assume
Speaker 3: like he sees something in there that's worth taking another
Speaker 3: pass at. But so the big controversy is that there
Speaker 3: are rumors started by a single post on Twitter, so that.
Speaker 1: I think we should take that with a Trump McDonald's
Speaker 1: fries amount.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Apparently they're going to gender swap the lead role.
Speaker 3: Get ready for Patricia Stateman. Guys, shit, I don't know this.
Speaker 3: This story just like makes me want to go to
Speaker 3: sleep for three years.
Speaker 1: Well, it's also funny because, like for all the tokook,
Speaker 1: this is a reimagining. It's like there was an American
Speaker 1: psycho to gender swap.
Speaker 3: Boogaloo Yeah Girls starring Yeah and Bill Shatner, William Shatner straight.
Speaker 2: The video, y'all exactly. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I was just reading too about like an
Speaker 1: article about hows like how Hollywood has joined the book club,
Speaker 1: and like again it's like this is the new place
Speaker 1: that studios are just farming for, I like, just trawling
Speaker 1: the IPCs for new stuff that they can do rather
Speaker 1: than you know, pay people for new ideas.
Speaker 2: It's like, can we option this book? Can we option this?
Speaker 2: Can we option that?
Speaker 1: Because it's all very still, very shaky right now in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Got to say, not a lot happening.
Speaker 2: Compared to pre strikes. So quiet. Yeah, it's it's eerily quiet.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like I know people who are fully
Speaker 1: changing careers now, like had fantastic careers writing comedy and
Speaker 1: now are considering like completely other different professions and are
Speaker 1: actively like moving towards that, like taking.
Speaker 2: Out I'm a farmer now.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, like truly, it's like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I can't. There's no way you can depend on
Speaker 1: this anymore. And it's true, it's like really it's really
Speaker 1: really bad, and I feel like what's going to happen
Speaker 1: is the lack of work is just going to kind
Speaker 1: of reduce the industry to like those who can like
Speaker 1: just weather the storm and then when it picks back up,
Speaker 1: maybe they will begin to start working again.
Speaker 3: But it's people with generational wealth, so it'll just get Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's all the trust fund writers and yeah director type
Speaker 1: people out there who will be fine, and the others
Speaker 1: will be forced to completely rethink their careers.
Speaker 3: They'll have some interesting takes on how to fix America's
Speaker 3: political system, I bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, well, those are some of the things that
Speaker 3: are trending this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 3: a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 3: kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
Speaker 3: get your blue shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
Speaker 3: and we will hockey y'all tomorrow.
