Speaker 4: What sad dentists say. No, no, no, dude, it's actually
Speaker 4: just like a crap shoot.
Speaker 2: It didn't occur to me to like a few like

Speaker 4: my first brush with Ai Paul of You were going
Speaker 4: to get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 4: a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners
Speaker 4: a couple of the things we're talking about. The Rock
Speaker 4: is not good at convincing young men to die for
Speaker 4: American imperialism. We just found out the Rock is getting sued.
Speaker 4: This is just like a good insights sued.
Speaker 2: They're like, can we have our money back? It sounds
Speaker 2: like right now, I mean, the.
Speaker 4: Military just asks you nicely for their money back, and
Speaker 4: you're like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: They're like, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4: You do?
Speaker 2: You know, have you seen what the police do. We're
Speaker 2: the fucking art.
Speaker 3: Have you seen what the police?
Speaker 4: Can't you smell what the Pentagon is cooking? No, because
Speaker 4: we designed it that way, you won't know until it's done.
Speaker 4: Talking about we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
Speaker 4: continued fallout from Donald Trump's interview with a panel of
Speaker 4: black journalists, and just how the Republicans are making sense
Speaker 4: of it. They don't seem to be unified quite yet
Speaker 4: on on that. On racism, Will yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 4: just different ways of coping with their own racism. We'll
Speaker 4: talk about the food at the Olympics. We'll talk about
Speaker 4: the food at Taco Bell now being all of that
Speaker 4: plenty more. But first, Paul V, we do like to
Speaker 4: ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a shameless plug. So I was looking
Speaker 3: for Connie and Ted because my dog rescue that I
Speaker 3: volunteer for Hit Living Foundation. They name like dogs according
Speaker 3: to random things, so we'll have like the Harry Potter
Speaker 3: litter or like you know, like litters of pups, and
Speaker 3: so I looked it up and I was like, why
Speaker 3: is it Connie and Ted? It looks like it sounds
Speaker 3: like hr people. Yeah, they just named it after the
Speaker 3: restaurant restaurant because like, we're running out of names, because
Speaker 3: we're in a crisis. People adopted dogs. We're running out
Speaker 3: of names.
Speaker 2: There's not even ip to name them after.
Speaker 4: It's like, Yeahnd's but the dog Shelters and Hollywood are
Speaker 4: in the same book. They're like, I don't know, Harold's
Speaker 4: Magical Purple craym. Maybe maybe like some there's some tertiary
Speaker 4: characters from that universe.
Speaker 3: They're scrambling damn c like, but yeah, so that's I
Speaker 3: was like looking that up because I didn't know about that.
Speaker 3: I was like, why does this sound so weird because
Speaker 3: usually they're themed. But yeah, I guess we're just naming
Speaker 3: them after local restaurants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was one dog named Kanye and Ted. That's
Speaker 4: Good's sponsor. Like we have like ads like painted into
Speaker 4: their bag. Yeah yeah, okay, I'm actually writing these down
Speaker 4: because we are running.
Speaker 2: Namesa Zanku Chicken obviously just for local spots, you know,

Speaker 3: guys from Five Guys.

Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like there's so many things
Speaker 3: that are random where you just I can't spam stuff
Speaker 3: or you can't unsubscribe. So the ones that I can,
Speaker 3: I'm like, get me out of this hell. And I
Speaker 3: just keep pressing it over and over again. And it's
Speaker 3: so satisfying to be unsubscribed from any elace.
Speaker 2: Does it work?
Speaker 4: So I was I've been fucked up by the there's
Speaker 4: that thing where they say, like you can't even hang
Speaker 4: up on a spam caller, because then they know you're alive.
Speaker 4: They're like, that's a that's like a nibble when you're fishing.
Speaker 4: If you hit like line call, they're like, ah, we

Speaker 3: I'm on for my science life, like a micro biology
Speaker 3: list from like decades ago, and they won't let me
Speaker 3: off Amtrak. I think I can't find the unsubscribe button

Speaker 4: interesting things to say. Guys.
Speaker 3: I feel like Jack is turning light.
Speaker 4: I stay at the beginning of every episode today. I
Speaker 4: am white. I am white. Yeah, but I have gotten
Speaker 4: some good insights from some of his texts.
Speaker 3: I can't I can't I just like I'm pretty good
Speaker 3: at I'm pretty good at like getting mad at political
Speaker 3: texts and emails. So I'm like off of all of them.

Speaker 3: jobs time.

Speaker 3: like what, like why is your person supporting this ship?
Speaker 3: Or if it's like somebody who's like really like right wing,
Speaker 3: I'll just like go ham on them. But like I
Speaker 3: think they've got I feel like they were like we
Speaker 3: have to not text her because then our feelings will
Speaker 3: get hurt, right, we have to stay off that list.
Speaker 4: The hardest one I've unsubscribed from a mailing list from
Speaker 4: Ember the coffee Cup. Then oh yeah, that warms keeps
Speaker 4: your coffee hot. That it was like, it's a good
Speaker 4: idea in theory, didn't work out for me a power user.
Speaker 4: I just like ordered one and somehow accidentally clicked to
Speaker 4: the wrong button and cannot unsubscribe.
Speaker 3: I think it's so unfair when like you order something
Speaker 3: and they're like, in order to get a discount, you
Speaker 3: have to give us your email or like sign up
Speaker 3: for this thing. I'm like, like, I'm gonna just save
Speaker 3: us the time, Like, just save us the effort. That's
Speaker 3: why I have fuck you promo at gmail dot com
Speaker 3: that you know, just dump them in there. Yeah, just
Speaker 3: just take ump. Yeah, you're not gonna get I'm gonna
Speaker 3: use that as my diary. If I like really want
Speaker 3: to reach you, Miles, I'm gonna be like.
Speaker 4: That, fuck you, Bobby, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? I literally just ordered door Dash, but like it's
Speaker 3: literally door Dash because I saw a tweet that was
Speaker 3: like afterwards, like get so you feel so discussed. It's
Speaker 3: like post door Dash clarity, You're like I wasn't even
Speaker 3: that good and it was so expensive.
Speaker 2: What have I done?
Speaker 3: And then she was literally just like I was talking
Speaker 3: to my financial planner, and like he was like, yeah, my
Speaker 3: son spends two thousand dollars a month on door Dash
Speaker 3: and I was like that's I was in my head.
Speaker 3: I was like that's not bad. And then I was
Speaker 3: like what I know. I like, but it's like literally
Speaker 3: like I feel like they're getting all of us. And
Speaker 3: then somebody on Twitter called it a taxi for your
Speaker 3: burrito and I was like, shut up, yeah like me,
Speaker 3: it was like a right wing guy.
Speaker 2: So I, oh, yeah, yeah it is. Was the is
Speaker 2: like is the economy bad or did you get a
Speaker 2: private car for your burrito?
Speaker 3: And it's like private tax Yeah. It was like inflation
Speaker 3: or something. And it's like, but we have to get
Speaker 3: private taxis because we're working like a million I mean
Speaker 3: not me, I'm not working right now, but like we're
Speaker 3: working like a million jobs. We're depressed, and like all
Speaker 3: we can do is get a taxi for our burrito.
Speaker 4: Job driving taxi for other people's burritos so that you
Speaker 4: can yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Can order your own precious burrito. Yeah, so it is
Speaker 3: like overrate and then they like Jackie's my boyfriend always
Speaker 3: has an issue with this. He's like, why do I
Speaker 3: have to tip them the same, like the same if
Speaker 3: they're bringing one bag and it's one stop versus multiple stops,
Speaker 3: it's the same tipping polys like it was like the
Speaker 3: charges and the fees are like it doesn't make sense
Speaker 3: for the drivers, you know, and the tipping doesn't make
Speaker 3: sense either, Like it's just weird.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's almost like it's predatory, almost like.
Speaker 3: It's very addicting because anyway, I'm enjoying my latte.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a combo. Let's take a quick break and
Speaker 4: we'll be right back to talk about the Rock and
Speaker 4: we're back. We're back, And yeah, this one caught my
Speaker 4: attention to Miles the Rock because I remember seeing the ads.
Speaker 4: I think I think I saw like one of the
Speaker 4: ads maybe one of them went viral or it was
Speaker 4: like what the fuck is this.
Speaker 2: For the UFL or something the Rock posted?
Speaker 4: I think I think it was something the Rock posted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I thought you said you this caught your
Speaker 2: attention because America is currently flying their flags at half masted,
Speaker 2: because the country we once knew has truly died. Yes,
Speaker 2: Dwayne the Rock Johnson apparently has no fucking power over
Speaker 2: young men to get them interested in enlisting in the Army,
Speaker 2: and he, along with his minor league football team, the UFL,
Speaker 2: recently entered into an eleven million dollar marketing deal with
Speaker 2: the Army for an ad campaign and it went absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 2: Apparently he only posted two out of the five IG
Speaker 2: posts in his contract, and the UFL apparently is just
Speaker 2: a clown show with like one tenth of the viewers
Speaker 2: that college football has. So the Pentagon's like, damn, what
Speaker 2: are we doing here? So they're looking to get like
Speaker 2: at least six million back from the Rock and it
Speaker 2: apparently this campaign went so poorly that an internal review
Speaker 2: in the Pentagon showed that this whole campaign actually cost
Speaker 2: them eight thirty eight enlistments. They lost thirty eight people
Speaker 2: because Okay, this.
Speaker 3: Is like a thredible turn the Rock turned heel for
Speaker 3: the Army. I fucking love this. They didn't see it coming.
Speaker 3: They pulled out the chair. Okay. Also, like, I'm so
Speaker 3: sorry that the Pentagon did not have enough intel agents
Speaker 3: to understand that this would happen before. Yeah, what is
Speaker 3: your whole thing, pentagonthen is that your thing?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: No, right, this is like a seventeen year old idea,
Speaker 2: Like this was supposed to happen before social media, because
Speaker 2: now they clearly don't know where gen Z is. They're
Speaker 2: on TikTok, they're not they're not watching live B grade
Speaker 2: football on TV. And this is like similar to like
Speaker 2: the National Guard they spent eighty eight million dollars on
Speaker 2: a NASCAR sponsorship that also rendered fuck all in the
Speaker 2: number of people that actually enlisted. But like, this crisis
Speaker 2: is so bad, but it's just it's compounded by the
Speaker 2: fact that the Pentagon is barred from taking ads out
Speaker 2: on TikTok because you know to because too many people
Speaker 2: in Congress are like the Chinese government will steal our
Speaker 2: secrets if you even look at TikTok. So they're like us.
Speaker 4: I thought it was like the Chinese government be like
Speaker 4: we're not going to fucking dirty work at like go ahead.
Speaker 2: Buy some fucking ads, just see what happens. But like
Speaker 2: they're bar from that investment, so they're like, uh, Nascar.
Speaker 3: This is like when the when people on the left
Speaker 3: are so far left, they're like conservative again, like they
Speaker 3: become anti vaxxers. Now the right is doing that. They're
Speaker 3: so far right, they're like anti army.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I will say, like I have seen I watch
Speaker 7: a lot of reality TV, and I have seen a
Speaker 7: lot of ads for the Army on like like the
Speaker 7: worst reality TV shows on Peacock like, and it's like
Speaker 7: it very like the types of ads I see on
Speaker 7: certain shows.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I know that they're going for a certain
Speaker 3: like demographic in terms of like like ability, Like I
Speaker 3: don't know, it just seems like why would you put
Speaker 3: this on like the trashiest TV shows, you know, like
Speaker 3: My Guilty Pleasures?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because like one of them is like I saw
Speaker 2: this one is like for the Navy, and it's like
Speaker 2: this Navy Special Forces guy and like they're like there's
Speaker 2: just like this like he comes out of the water
Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, join up. He's like and do
Speaker 2: things you can't even talk about. That's been crazy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's where you go when you like work at a
Speaker 2: black site or something. What the fuck are we talking here?
Speaker 2: But it's more like it's a classified secret missions. The
Speaker 2: other ones like are meant to like evoke like playing
Speaker 2: Call of Duty clearly because they're so fucking action packed, right,
Speaker 2: it's crazy.
Speaker 4: I feel like they're all over those games, right, Like
Speaker 4: aren't they partial sponsors of some of those games and
Speaker 4: like in the same way that they were for like
Speaker 4: Top Gun and all that shit, Like they I feel
Speaker 4: like they have partnerships or whatever, because you wouldn't be
Speaker 4: able to like have all the quote my eight year
Speaker 4: old weaponry that they have in you know, like isn't
Speaker 4: that part of the deal.
Speaker 3: I think so probably, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have to assume, and I'm not going to do
Speaker 2: any research to find out.
Speaker 3: What if they start like like interacting with video games
Speaker 3: so that it's kind of like NBA or NFL video
Speaker 3: games where you can like have specific war crime killers
Speaker 3: like in the game right, like the guy who killed
Speaker 3: Osama just in the right, right, right. This is so
Speaker 3: dope of one of the ads that I saw. It
Speaker 3: was like it was kind of like a hey, like
Speaker 3: the Armies for the Woke mob too, Like it was like, look,
Speaker 3: look at all these like black and brown people working
Speaker 3: in the army and like how it like got us
Speaker 3: where we are or whatever. And it was kind of
Speaker 3: crazy because like that was the one that I saw
Speaker 3: the most. But like a lot of these army ads,
Speaker 3: like those people I assume they're actually in the army
Speaker 3: because they're terrible at speaking, Like they're awful at like
Speaker 3: being in front of a camera and I'm like, who
Speaker 3: is this? That man looks scared, like who is this?
Speaker 2: Right? Because if he said the real reason he enlisted
Speaker 2: is because I've been my socioeconomic possibilities are so limited
Speaker 2: by design in this country that my only recourse is
Speaker 2: to join this kill machine. Anyway, Yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Was the ad I might join. It might be like, right,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, am I gonna die? This fucking rocks?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Two thousand dollars a month on burrito taxis? So I
Speaker 2: had to list.
Speaker 4: How many times do you think they have approached mister
Speaker 4: beast to be like all right, all right, all right, right,
Speaker 4: new pitch, New pitch. You pay someone three hundred thousand
Speaker 4: dollars to speed run an active war zone? Like, well,
Speaker 4: what are we talking here?
Speaker 2: You know we'll let you plug your chocolate bars.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like a recruiter. He's like, I'm going to
Speaker 3: lock you in a basement unless you sign this.
Speaker 4: The Skibbity toilet universe has like army branding. I'm sure
Speaker 4: in its future. We'll see, we'll see how they the Pentagon,
Speaker 4: that Pentagon.
Speaker 3: Bring us in. We got some ideas for you, okay,
Speaker 3: real like the mad Men of the Future.
Speaker 2: You want to like invest in like some improv teams, Yes,
Speaker 2: that could work, you know, and develop some shows that
Speaker 2: may have been canned by improv.
Speaker 3: Has more of a cult following than the military, so like, yes.
Speaker 4: More than the CFL or whatever.
Speaker 2: The rocks people are tuning into here, Matt Besser, do improv.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you who's tuning into here? Fucking you know,
Speaker 2: Steve Reedi say something about the fucking military none.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, and it's just as financially exploited as.
Speaker 4: All right, let's move on. The big story as of
Speaker 4: Thursday was still Trump's Wednesday interview with three black women
Speaker 4: journalists at the what was it the.
Speaker 2: College or National Association.
Speaker 4: Of National Association of sorry.
Speaker 2: Black of Journalists?
Speaker 4: Is that it?
Speaker 3: Why wasn't that at the top of your tongue?
Speaker 4: Jack?
Speaker 3: Why didn't you know what that was?
Speaker 4: Journalists?
Speaker 3: Are you not a fan? Are you not a fan
Speaker 3: of that?
Speaker 1: Jack?
Speaker 2: Jack? State your race right now? State your race, white man. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: I heard you guys.
Speaker 3: Get a spike in listeners the normal Yeah, I come
Speaker 3: back on next time. This is a right wing podcast.
Speaker 3: Fully you guys are getting like army sponsorships.
Speaker 4: I mean we're flirting, you know, like JD. Vance at
Speaker 4: a couch store. But it's uh yeah, there's still the
Speaker 4: mainstream Republicans who are like that is not the Republican party.
Speaker 4: But Trump seems to be spiking the football.
Speaker 2: JD.
Speaker 4: Vance seems to think he nailed it.
Speaker 2: He said he crushed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait, what what if some Republicans, some mainstream Republicans
Speaker 3: said about it, like what are they how are they
Speaker 3: trying to like spin it?
Speaker 2: Well, like, for example, you have people like Lisa Murkowski
Speaker 2: who is like, what's going on? What's he talking about?
Speaker 2: D I like kind of be like confused, not necessarily condemning.
Speaker 2: Then they're like in this Axios report, there were a
Speaker 2: lot of people who were going like like anonymously saying
Speaker 2: like it was awful, which is so brave that you're
Speaker 2: anonymously saying this. Other people are like it's I think
Speaker 2: Larry Hogan, who's probably like the most center brother yea brother,
Speaker 2: the governor of Maryland. It was like the least trumpy
Speaker 2: Republican was like it was this was like unacceptable and
Speaker 2: a warrant, But at the same time, like this is
Speaker 2: the party that you let this man in. Don't act stupid.
Speaker 2: This is what it's been a while now. So a
Speaker 2: lot of people are trying to save face. I'm also
Speaker 2: pretty irritated, like how like left leaning media, liberal media
Speaker 2: is like just salivating over this to be like the
Speaker 2: Republicans are gonna panic over this. It's like no, they're
Speaker 2: fucking not. They are just they are just posturing to
Speaker 2: try and save face because that's the most they can do.
Speaker 2: Other people have been more saying stuff like well, that's
Speaker 2: not how you're gonna win undecided voters, like as like
Speaker 2: the spiciest criticism Jesse Waters on Fox like kind of
Speaker 2: did crazy that guy?
Speaker 3: And so does his own mother?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Better homes in garden, I think is what
Speaker 2: his grandfather was like the publisher of and.
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, yeah, god, would you be just starting your home? Okay, grandfather?
Speaker 3: What the hell happened there?
Speaker 2: But like Jesse Water is like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I would have said that was like the most he said,
Speaker 2: but then he started doing said slurs, but then he
Speaker 2: used then they started going around like what is African America?
Speaker 2: Then started doing that whole shit, and we're like, okay,
Speaker 2: so just shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing
Speaker 2: these people try and parse through like what is Jamaican
Speaker 2: or black or not? Because this is just again He's
Speaker 2: Trump has just kicked off the new birther movement because
Speaker 2: a bunch of the people who are not pundits but
Speaker 2: are just like this sort of echo chamber online or
Speaker 2: people who write the dumb blogs and shit are all
Speaker 2: sort of lockstep and being like but I mean it
Speaker 2: is kind like doing it more like I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's like that type of energy about it.
Speaker 3: Race analysis from white people is so funny. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you tell us the nuances of the different creatures.
Speaker 2: There was one. There was one where like Trump reposted
Speaker 2: like a photo of like Kamala as a kid like
Speaker 2: with her Indian family, Like yeah, sorry, She's like wow,
Speaker 2: good to see you, so proud of it. It's like
Speaker 2: br like if like in Japan, if I was wearing
Speaker 2: like you cut that or something, I'm not let them
Speaker 2: being like let me fucking make sure I gotta blunt
Speaker 2: hang like whatever the fuck I'm like, would you?
Speaker 3: Okay, First of all, this man does not understand Indian
Speaker 3: people because like we love dressing up people of other
Speaker 3: races in our out. Have you seen white girls at weddings?
Speaker 7: We are, okay, exactly, like we fucking love Like you're
Speaker 7: not gonna separate us with this bullshit.
Speaker 3: We love seeing like black women and sorry, like I
Speaker 3: love seeing other cultures. I'm sorry. So it's like, even
Speaker 3: if you're like, oh, she's denying one or the other,
Speaker 3: like posting like cute pictures of her celebrating this culture,
Speaker 3: is not gonna like deny her history.
Speaker 2: It just like underscores the rigidity of how they look
Speaker 2: at race in general. It's like, what are what things
Speaker 2: are that isn't white?
Speaker 3: That they were like, we would never commit miscegenation, So
Speaker 3: we don't understand this. We don't understand race mixing. You
Speaker 3: have to pick check ant know, if you've heard he
Speaker 3: said this is a white genocide happening. Okay, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what we're interested in. That's those are the babies were satan.
Speaker 3: They don't understand interracial if it's not white with something else.
Speaker 2: You know, they're like, wait, they do that.
Speaker 4: I thought they're mad?
Speaker 3: Are they allowed?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But it's brought the fact that Trump is racist back
Speaker 4: to the front and center. Of the mainstream media, which
Speaker 4: is where his candidacy started and seems to be Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: he threw dude.
Speaker 2: A perfect distraction bomb from him because, like I was
Speaker 2: saying on the Wednesday Trending episode, this is this was
Speaker 2: purely like people were like, Oh, he embarrassed himself. I'm like,
Speaker 2: he he's turning up the base with this ship. Yes,
Speaker 2: and predicted what he had, and now they're all saying
Speaker 2: the same dumb shit. So it's like, at the same time,
Speaker 2: it's like, what's the point of even replict yes, water
Speaker 2: is wet, Trump is racist? Move like this is not
Speaker 2: news and wasting headlines and airtime over talking about like
Speaker 2: what a biracial person is just absurd.
Speaker 3: I do think like the way to respond to that
Speaker 3: is to like post Kamala dancing with like her sorority,
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean, Like she's clearly like
Speaker 3: black and has celebrated being black for like a long
Speaker 3: time and has participated in black culture. So I feel
Speaker 3: like the way to like memify it is to post
Speaker 3: her being cultural in both aspects, like he's already doing
Speaker 3: the Indian side, like.
Speaker 2: The duality of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that will like unite people behind her like
Speaker 3: quirkiness and her let you know, like the stuff that
Speaker 3: gets memed online sure that they're so con used about,
Speaker 3: Like yeah, but.
Speaker 2: I think this is like sort of it. It was
Speaker 2: more it turns up turns into somewhat of a blessing
Speaker 2: for Trump because the conversation is like off of Kamala Harrison,
Speaker 2: like that campaign, and it's now back on him and
Speaker 2: what he's saying about her.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 2: And that's something that I think they've been contending with
Speaker 2: the last week because they're like.
Speaker 4: We're not weird.
Speaker 2: We just like, yeah, that's fucked upholstered things. I don't
Speaker 2: know whatever, you know what I mean, And like, I
Speaker 2: think that is sort of a gift. I guess. Also
Speaker 2: there are people who are like being like, wow, I
Speaker 2: can't believe he went there, But that just seems like
Speaker 2: the standard response for like rip all the racist shit
Speaker 2: he said all the time, right, yeah, Like when you
Speaker 2: have other things I think that are important to talk
Speaker 2: about too, like you know, like the delegates that are
Speaker 2: representing the uncommitted movement, you know, like against Biden's gaza policy.
Speaker 2: Like there right now, they're asking the DNC if they
Speaker 2: can have a speaking time during the convention like just
Speaker 2: a five minute slot and it and like with someone
Speaker 2: who uh like five like a health worker who had
Speaker 2: just come back, Like they just want to give some
Speaker 2: space to that person. And right now the DNC hasn't
Speaker 2: said anything back. The people who are you know, organizing
Speaker 2: that movement are like really trying to get in front
Speaker 2: of Kamala Harris to be like we need to understand,
Speaker 2: like have some kind of dialogue here, like we just
Speaker 2: can't ignore this group of people. And many people, especially
Speaker 2: even if they didn't vote that way, just your basic
Speaker 2: polling shows this is an issue within the party that
Speaker 2: needs to be addressed and just doing the thing again
Speaker 2: to be like man and because it's also convenient for
Speaker 2: Democrats be like, wow, Trump's so racist? What's wrong with
Speaker 2: the Republicans? And now we're here, we're not talking about
Speaker 2: like other things, like about what this you know, the
Speaker 2: future of America can be outside of well, it's not
Speaker 2: going to be Trump.
Speaker 3: Do you think though that? Like because it feels like
Speaker 3: the discourse is like never going to be about these
Speaker 3: like specific things on like a large scale level, Like
Speaker 3: so like with the memes of like coconut tree and
Speaker 3: like brat and weird, Like those are all esthetics things
Speaker 3: that take over like the mainstream discourse. So like regardless,
Speaker 3: I mean, Trump does like garner like all of the
Speaker 3: attention in his favor when he says something ridiculous, and
Speaker 3: then it does take away from like the momentum of
Speaker 3: the Democratic candidate or whatever. But it seems like those
Speaker 3: details are never like there's always going to be distraction,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like those details are never
Speaker 3: going to be hammered out in the public square.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think, well when you look at just even how
Speaker 2: the media like handles things, even like when those like
Speaker 2: aid workers were killed in Gaza that were like, you know,
Speaker 2: like that apparently were like oh my god, volunteers from
Speaker 2: abroad or getting killed that you David, it's so quick,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So yeah, to your point,
Speaker 2: that appetite isn't there, especially from you know, the upholders
Speaker 2: of the status quo and like sort of mass media
Speaker 2: for sure. But yeah, again I think that's why a
Speaker 2: lot of people are just so like man like can
Speaker 2: there are other so many other things to talk about,
Speaker 2: but this also dictates what people talk about. And so yeah,
Speaker 2: if now for sure this is what people are talking
Speaker 2: about and yeah, it's just a uh. I think it's
Speaker 2: Trump doing his Trump thing, the media doing the like
Speaker 2: it's sort of become reflexive at this point, like they're
Speaker 2: calling response to his racism. Yeah, but like to the
Speaker 2: point where other people are like this just doomed Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this didn't doom him, Like.
Speaker 3: No, he's just saying this. He came out saying Mexican's
Speaker 3: are rapist, Like right, yeah, that was an opener.
Speaker 2: An escalator saying that before we even got to the mic.
Speaker 4: And it's like.
Speaker 3: The US I don't think we talked about how dvid
Speaker 3: was of him to come down that escalator, Like you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like what an entrance?
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow's fake with fake audience there.
Speaker 3: How can you be anti dragon come down an escalator
Speaker 3: that way?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he doesn't notice dunk queeness.
Speaker 4: I read some analysis that was like the twenty sixteen
Speaker 4: it seems like whoever the election becomes about loses. Like
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen it became about Hillary in a lot
Speaker 4: of ways. Twenty twenty it was about like Trump as
Speaker 4: a failed president, And now I think they're probably competing
Speaker 4: to make the election about about the other one. I
Speaker 4: feel like this probably plays into the Democrats' ability to, yeah,
Speaker 4: not talk about Gaza or any anything like that, just
Speaker 4: keep the focus on Trump and the Republicans and him
Speaker 4: being obsessed with like what race are you can like
Speaker 4: tie into like the weird you know, part of their messaging,
Speaker 4: which is unfortunate that that is like seems to be
Speaker 4: the strategy. But I feel like they are going to
Speaker 4: continue to say as little as fucking possible, of course.
Speaker 2: Because then you don't have to you don't have to
Speaker 2: contend with harder questions like about how do we fundamentally
Speaker 2: change like our social programs in this country?
Speaker 4: Just like let them get get them elected and then
Speaker 4: they're going to do the right then they'll do it.
Speaker 2: But did you hear what Trump said about Biracials? Right,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Biracials? What did you say? They're going to be?
Speaker 4: And then extend Trump for another eight years to make
Speaker 4: sure they can keep him out there just talking shit
Speaker 4: so that they can, you know, as a foil like
Speaker 4: an NBA contract, they're like, hey, can we get you
Speaker 4: under contract for another like type four eight years?
Speaker 3: I mean, they really they really did do that, Like
Speaker 3: some like with like more local elections. They did invest
Speaker 3: in like they like actually paid maga people, they donated
Speaker 3: to their their supported bolstered their problem in order to
Speaker 3: like defeat them. And it's like some of them didn't,
Speaker 3: like did not end up the way they hoped they would,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like some of them but
Speaker 3: like maybe didn't have the overall effect they wanted. But
Speaker 3: that's like all it is to them is like is
Speaker 3: a way to stay in power.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also like you know, I think recently Vivic
Speaker 2: what Ramaswami was also saying, like he kind of like
Speaker 2: was reach.
Speaker 3: Man my guy, but they I know that guy I
Speaker 3: grew up with. I like not him, but like the
Speaker 3: stereotype of him. Oh my god, so much energy.
Speaker 2: He's like posting stuff now He's like, we gotta stop,
Speaker 2: Like we need to actually talk about like policy now.
Speaker 2: He's like it's not sticking. That is so funny covering
Speaker 2: for Joe Biden. It's not sticking that she failed at
Speaker 2: the border. It's like we need to find like we
Speaker 2: just we have to come up with people's like a
Speaker 2: vision for the future.
Speaker 3: Whenever you do do not talk about Indian people. Do
Speaker 3: not talk about Indian people. Do not talk about Indian people. Yeah,
Speaker 3: did you see the Like I don't know if you
Speaker 3: guys covered this, but you do see when like Anne
Speaker 3: Colter told him to his face that she wouldn't vote
Speaker 3: for him because he was an Indian and then later
Speaker 3: he had a debrief about it and it was like, well,
Speaker 3: you were a little bitch while she said it. What happened. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just very funny, Like how like Indian Republicans immediately turn.
Speaker 3: It's like they're gonna come for all of us, Like
Speaker 3: what did you expect You thought you were white bitch? No,
Speaker 3: not even you, Nikki Haley, I don't think so. If
Speaker 3: you had been at the center of this, you would
Speaker 3: have been fucked.
Speaker 2: Like Francesca Ramsey always posts like on Twitter Instagram, like
Speaker 2: I didn't think the leopards would eat my face for
Speaker 2: every time, like minorities, like the conservative machine came for me,
Speaker 2: but I was good, Like.
Speaker 3: Laren was like pro choice and they ate her up.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, the leopards ate my face. Great.
Speaker 4: Sorry, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 4: And we are back and Paul the are you keep
Speaker 4: it up on the Olympics at all?
Speaker 3: Yes? And okay, my favorite thing now, Like, obviously, women's
Speaker 3: gymnastics is amazing, women's swimming's swimming is Have you been
Speaker 3: paying attention to women's rugby? It is fucking amazing. God.
Speaker 3: Literally there was one I forget, I don't remember her name,
Speaker 3: but she like literally there was like a fan cam
Speaker 3: of all of her stuff. She was she like got tackled,
Speaker 3: stood up and carried someone running with the.
Speaker 4: Ball, like carry each other so much, Like.
Speaker 3: Why I'm like, first of all, this is the gayest shit,
Speaker 3: Like why is this not promoted more during June because
Speaker 3: like all like queer like fems would go crazy for it.
Speaker 3: And second of all, it's just like so insane and
Speaker 3: so awesome and all of the tiktoks that Alana is
Speaker 3: posting because like people were calling her a man, yeah,
Speaker 3: people were calling her overweight, and I'm like, like I tweet,
Speaker 3: I was like people are talking about her bmi. I'm
Speaker 3: like that bitch is a Bronze medalist baby, like like
Speaker 3: like what are you talking? I don't know. It's so
Speaker 3: I love Like now I'm like obsessed with I'm like,
Speaker 3: can I see it? Because a lot of the appeal
Speaker 3: of these sports is it's not things that like a
Speaker 3: lot of America watches or attends lives throughout the year,
Speaker 3: like it's every four years that we all get like
Speaker 3: really tuned in. But most people like we don't see
Speaker 3: like rugby all the time or like go to our
Speaker 3: local rugby games, you know. So now I'm like, I
Speaker 3: want to go see rugby, I know, right.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think you want to see I want
Speaker 4: to watch more volleyball. I want to watch more like badminton.
Speaker 4: I like badminton is dope.
Speaker 3: Badminton is very Indian. Indians love racket sports.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the racket the racket sports. The lesser racket sports,
Speaker 4: or maybe not the lesser, but yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the more intense ones.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the Yeah, I mean I think the other benefit
Speaker 2: too is like you can at least like they're superlatives.
Speaker 2: You're like, these are the best people in the world.
Speaker 2: It's not you're not seeing like the random like metrecs supplements,
Speaker 2: Kayak Fest twenty, you know what I mean, Like, these
Speaker 2: are the people who are like, these are the best
Speaker 2: people in the world you're going to see. So it's
Speaker 2: at the highest level typically, unless like someone you know,
Speaker 2: you know, super talented is like injured or whatever. But
Speaker 2: I think that's the other benefit is like, okay, so
Speaker 2: this is like the best at shooting a little air
Speaker 2: gun with your hand in your pocket.
Speaker 4: Yeah that guy. Wait, that's wait, my favorite guy.
Speaker 3: This is breaking. Breaking news for Thursday is that Simone
Speaker 3: Biles just became the first woman to win two Olympic
Speaker 3: all around titles.
Speaker 4: I love her. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: And then I think Katie Ladecki about to be like
Speaker 2: the most decorated woman.
Speaker 4: Most decorated female Olympian of all time.
Speaker 3: I think that bit is crazy. She's like swimming extra
Speaker 3: laps just for fun after the races, like she's just
Speaker 3: like so far ahead of them. She's like, maybe I'll
Speaker 3: take another round.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you have any idea Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait, did you also see the Simone Biles Mikayla.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, format it wasn't Mikayla Maroney. It was
Speaker 4: a different Mikayla who was who like had like a
Speaker 4: real like right wing take where.
Speaker 3: The wife esthetic Yeah, she was like crazy.
Speaker 4: Now the like they can't now that they've like taken
Speaker 4: the abuse out of gymnastics coaching, these kids aren't like
Speaker 4: tough anymore. And Simone Biles was just like came at
Speaker 4: her when she said that a few months ago, and
Speaker 4: now like the first post after they won gold as
Speaker 4: a team, she like was like, yeah, I guess we're
Speaker 4: a bunch of them, like quoted the thing that she said, lazy. Yeah. Yeah, anyways, I.
Speaker 2: Noticed that lazy Olympic champions.
Speaker 3: And then the other Mikayla Maroney, was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I got to redeem my first name.
Speaker 4: I mean, Mikayla. I noticed though that a lot of
Speaker 4: what we were talking about also shout out Chase Butdinger.
Speaker 4: Do you remember him, Miles from the NBA. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: the dude white guy who had like crazy hops and
Speaker 4: is now the USA Beach Volleyball.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was fun. But all these stories that we
Speaker 4: keep telling seemed to be about the athletes weirdly, and
Speaker 4: it seems like the Olympics, the whole kind of weird
Speaker 4: capitalist enterprise is doing a late stage, this stage, whatever
Speaker 4: stage of capitalism we're in, and just like not taking
Speaker 4: care of the thing that, like the talent that drives
Speaker 4: the entire enterprise. Because the food in the Olympic village,
Speaker 4: you would think like that would be one thing they
Speaker 4: would go out of their way. It's Paris, it's these
Speaker 4: are people who like need fuel. And like I remember,
Speaker 4: like I read that book Boys in the Boat because
Speaker 4: I'm just so old, but it was like about an
Speaker 4: Olympic rowing team that went to the Berlin Olympics, and
Speaker 4: like the food, Like all those guys could like talk
Speaker 4: about was how good the food, Like how well fed
Speaker 4: they were at the Olympic village. Granted they had all
Speaker 4: grown up in the depression, so I think just like
Speaker 4: two steaks and French fries was like all you needed.
Speaker 4: But the athletes are like, the food here fucking sucks
Speaker 4: you guys. Like one shot put track and field athlete
Speaker 4: was like lip saying the phrase you disappointed me on
Speaker 4: TikTok while showing the camera something that looked like it
Speaker 4: was like rock candy, but charred beef. It was like
Speaker 4: rock candy, crystal beach, Yeah, crystallized beef. And it was
Speaker 4: one of the first things Simone Bile said after the
Speaker 4: women's gymnastics team won gold during a press conference. Somebody
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, like so you must be enjoying the
Speaker 4: French cuisine, huh, And she said, here's the thing. I
Speaker 4: don't think we're having proper French cuisine in the village,
Speaker 4: like you guys might be eating because you're outside the village,
Speaker 4: so you the fucking media are getting to eat better
Speaker 4: than us.
Speaker 3: The like high performance, the reason y'all are Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: hold on, am I hearing that right now? They would
Speaker 3: really all these Olympic athletes could really use a private
Speaker 3: taxi for a burrito?
Speaker 4: Is what you say? Okay, all right, okay, I love
Speaker 4: your sponsorship, not really fuck you guys. Anyways, there's a
Speaker 4: lot of.
Speaker 3: You guys should do anti sponsorship where each week you
Speaker 3: just say.
Speaker 4: You sponsor, we kind of have that'd be fun.
Speaker 2: I'm scared scared a few.
Speaker 3: Off this week is not brought to you by these bitches.
Speaker 4: These motherfuckers and burn They won't leave me alone, but
Speaker 4: my child because the youngest member of the gymnastics team
Speaker 4: was like, I don't think it's very good at least
Speaker 4: what we're having in the dining hall, Like it's fucking
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just so amazing, Like they're they're
Speaker 4: pouring over a billion dollars into making the river temporary,
Speaker 4: like the sind temporarily clean enough to swim in, and
Speaker 4: then like that's all going to go away, like it's
Speaker 4: just a temporary deal to make themselves look okay, like
Speaker 4: a fucking temporary magic trick, and they failed at it.
Speaker 4: It was unsick, that's full. The triathletes were like the
Speaker 4: water tastes like literal ship.
Speaker 2: Probably did you hear what the Belgian triathlete woman she said,
Speaker 2: She said, I felt and saw things that we shouldn't
Speaker 2: think about.
Speaker 3: Honey, that's like horror movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to get so focused like oh that
Speaker 2: ship just.
Speaker 3: But we should be doing that to our Olympic athletes.
Speaker 3: I love this terrible food. It's more relatable. Okay, if
Speaker 3: they have if they're like training training, training, and then
Speaker 3: they have to deal with like the worst potato on
Speaker 3: the planet, or if they have to like swim through.
Speaker 4: Approach the training where it's on a farm where you
Speaker 4: can barely survive.
Speaker 3: Horse on an actual horse. Let me see some variations, okay.
Speaker 2: Like when they buy on team so it's like rickety.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well we don't get the best things.
Speaker 4: It's not a point like they've been put back in
Speaker 4: time to like the days of like barely like subsistence farming.
Speaker 4: But they're basically back to the days of like shitty
Speaker 4: college area that feels like where they're.
Speaker 3: At, which, yeah, humble yourselves, Olympic athletes. I'm tired of
Speaker 3: your bodies being a temple.
Speaker 4: So much more and more money being poured into this
Speaker 4: and it's not going to the people who actually drive it.
Speaker 4: It's going to the corporate sponsors.
Speaker 2: Well. The other thing that's true, a lot of people
Speaker 2: are like accusing the like organizers of the Olympics of
Speaker 2: like it's a there's a two tiered Olympic village basically
Speaker 2: because there's no air conditioning because they're trying to be greener.
Speaker 2: But if you wanted for a fee, you could pay
Speaker 2: for air conditioning. So some obviously Olympic association like national associations,
Speaker 2: are able to foot that bill. Others are not. There's
Speaker 2: like Team Great Britain they had to bring their own
Speaker 2: cook out because they were like they.
Speaker 3: Were like, what is Britain gonna cook?
Speaker 2: Come on, they're like these guys who lift weights. There's
Speaker 2: not enough fucking protein.
Speaker 4: Protein, not enough eggs.
Speaker 3: And toasts, that's what we need.
Speaker 4: The way that this is getting pitched in the mainstream
Speaker 4: media is that like, uh, it woke my virus. There's
Speaker 4: not enough animals, they didn't kill enough animals. They're too
Speaker 4: scared to be serious. Yeah, but it's gotta be It
Speaker 4: can't be that. It's just gotta be fucking corporate bullshit.
Speaker 3: I love that they're disney landing. What do they have
Speaker 3: fast laying passes for a sake?
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, oh you want to take a ship, Well
Speaker 2: you can take a Genie pass because there's you.
Speaker 3: Can just do it in the river because nobody cares.
Speaker 4: Legitimately, eight people in like US tennis player Cocoa Golf,
Speaker 4: This is a quote from that Afford's Circle. US tennis
Speaker 4: player Cocoa Golf lamented how she and nine other women
Speaker 4: shared two bathrooms in the Olympic village. That's how she's
Speaker 4: like internationally like she's for multi multi millionaire, like superstar,
Speaker 4: and she's like they're just making her sleep on cardboard
Speaker 4: beds in the village. Again, Like I get the appeal
Speaker 4: that it's like it's kind of cool that like they're
Speaker 4: having to live through shitty conditions to win these medals,
Speaker 4: But like when you look at the amount of like
Speaker 4: the fucking American Express employees and like board members who
Speaker 4: are being like probably ferried around in ambulances to cut
Speaker 4: through the traffic, like.
Speaker 3: From one event to a form for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And it's very much the yeah, like worker
Speaker 2: owner class dynamic where it's like the games we're seeing here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you the very.
Speaker 2: People who's literal physical labor and physical exertion that we
Speaker 2: count on to sell these sponsorships to. You can eat
Speaker 2: crystal beef and an old end my ship literally in
Speaker 2: the river. Here's the river, and you can wait in
Speaker 2: line for seven hours to try and use the bathroom
Speaker 2: while we eat fucking wool freet or whatever. You know,
Speaker 2: our stakehold plav and a really wonderful white tablecloths.
Speaker 3: What the fuck you're in France? Protest? That's what those
Speaker 3: people do take in the culture. Fucking burn some ship down,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, probably the streets burn some
Speaker 3: ship down.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine? I wonder what kind of like secret
Speaker 2: police force they have. They're like, there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of people are making noise in the Olympic village, right,
Speaker 2: we don't have to put down any kind of uprisings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the firefighters are like, we're on your side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Krista both.
Speaker 4: Well, Paula, what a pleasure having you on the all
Speaker 4: by so fast? Where can people find you and follow you?

Speaker 3: When the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories?
Speaker 3: This is a safe space. Ashually when I turned black
Speaker 3: and then at bard Rock Cafe, which should give you
Speaker 3: a hint about what this sweet is going to be about.

Speaker 3: now know her strength score in D and D. A
Speaker 3: creature in D and D five E has a vertical

Speaker 2: like just starts clean, just starts cleaning your ass out,
Speaker 2: like you. They're like they got seven cards and like
Speaker 2: skip to rev draw for blah blah blah. And this
Speaker 2: is like the moment where a mom is about to

Speaker 2: and this poor girl is screaming, like begging her not
Speaker 2: to just fucking like moist your ass this is.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, she's like.
