Speaker 1: I watched Megalopolis instead, Oh how bad? Was just so bad?
Speaker 1: It's good or so bad? It's fucking infurio.
Speaker 2: It's pretty tedious, but the tedium makes it so that
Speaker 2: there's like two very very funny and insane parts near
Speaker 2: the end that are like the hardest I laughed in
Speaker 2: a theater because I.
Speaker 3: Was so like, I'll save I'll save my line.
Speaker 1: I gotta I got a line prepared for why I
Speaker 1: watched Megalopolis instead of the uh, instead of the debate.
Speaker 1: Oh pretty, it's pretty. I mean it's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: a crazy rich man got to do whatever the fuck
Speaker 1: you wanted, and a crazy old rich man exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the dying fart from a boomer corpse as a film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Myles, I'm not sure we got a cold open up,
Speaker 1: so none of the I thought to talk about Megalopolis.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 3: How do I get in?
Speaker 1: How do I know about this?
Speaker 3: Look?
Speaker 1: Our guest has been everywhere, seeing them on Heathers, seeing

Speaker 1: think one of the nearest and dearest swifties to this
Speaker 1: show's heart. Please welcome to the third seat, Page.
Speaker 3: Well man, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: An honor and a privilege. It's so good to be here.
Speaker 1: Great to have you. Great to have you, Page, great
Speaker 1: to have you. I'm always like reminded to you about
Speaker 1: the first time we actually met, which I think was
Speaker 1: at the Chatterbox, when I made a guy go do
Speaker 1: a bunch of AI written jokes on stage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I don't know that.
Speaker 4: I yeah, I feel like it. I didn't connect that
Speaker 4: with you until later when we met another time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was like, I was like, Page, I've
Speaker 1: met you, and I apologized because I think I took
Speaker 1: the life out of the chatterbox with this dumb video
Speaker 1: I was making for Wired magazine.
Speaker 5: It was an open mic and I just feel like
Speaker 5: it's already a delicate situation, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, could it be real?
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm not joking. You can probably look it up.
Speaker 1: It's like it's on Wired YouTube channel about like this
Speaker 1: guy Brent Rose had to go on stage. We'd like
Speaker 1: coupled together every like, because it was like the era
Speaker 1: of like Alexas and shit coming out, and we're like,
Speaker 1: they tell jokes, write them all down, and send this
Speaker 1: man up there to tell them straight faced in front
Speaker 1: of an audience who thinks it's stand up.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: There was like a really beautiful highros photo of me
Speaker 5: looking at my phone at the bar that I think
Speaker 5: was part of the article about this.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh oo, everyone wins, everyone wins. Well, page,
Speaker 1: it's great to have you. Also, i'd be remiss. I
Speaker 1: forgot to mention you have a new album. I turned
Speaker 1: out fine out now on ASC Records. Every man, I
Speaker 1: need to I want a record? Is it hard to get?
Speaker 3: Hard to do? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You want to record one?
Speaker 6: It looks hard you need a daily Zeitgei's Greatest Hits
Speaker 6: album Dog Oh that was fun, print print.
Speaker 1: Your spiciest takes to final I know it's it's hard
Speaker 1: because there's so many times like there, you know, like
Speaker 1: people who listen to the show reach out and like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, yesterday's thing that you said. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm I talk so much, I don't even know. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, you can't remember everything. Yeah, you would need
Speaker 5: someone to call through the archives.
Speaker 1: Because there's not much. You can't remember anything everything. You
Speaker 1: can't remember anything. I know, the instant I say something
Speaker 1: on a podcast, it is completely gone from my memory.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's the only way you can.
Speaker 5: It comes out immediately, because I do feel like other
Speaker 5: times I'm on podcast that comes out, you know, a
Speaker 5: week weeks later, and I'm like, damn, I definitely don't
Speaker 5: want to listen back, but I am curious what I said.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, that take you had on
Speaker 1: Strawberries Page like today, fuck, I don't even know. Well, Page,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to know you a little bit better,
Speaker 1: but obviously we got to tell people what we're talking
Speaker 1: about today. Obviously, I don't put together three guests or
Speaker 1: two guests for this show who aren't going to be
Speaker 1: fully tapped into the goings on of the world, including
Speaker 1: the vice president so debate that happened on Tuesday, because
Speaker 1: guess what not today we're doing. We're switching things up.
Speaker 1: I got two people that couldn't give a fuck less
Speaker 1: about the presidential debate for their own reasons. But then
Speaker 1: that will be me because this is the duty of
Speaker 1: the show, because I know some of you don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck either, and rightly so you have better things
Speaker 1: to do. I you're intrepid host. Put my body on
Speaker 1: the line to watch that fucking snooze fest, and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you some of the funny shit that happened, amongst
Speaker 1: other things.
Speaker 4: I mean to be bored.
Speaker 6: Yeah, nothing represents America better than like two thirds of
Speaker 6: us really didn't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, I don't know, what do you want
Speaker 1: to what do you want?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Sure I watched. I mean the thing is you could
Speaker 1: I feel like that both of you are intelligent enough
Speaker 1: that you could probably lie through the segment and you
Speaker 1: would come off as if you had actually seen it.
Speaker 1: If you're just like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, dude, JD Van lying, I.
Speaker 1: Think so we'll talk about that. Well, just there was
Speaker 1: an interesting moment where JD. Vance gave his sort of
Speaker 1: thoughts on climate change, and it's sort of connected with
Speaker 1: the story I was thinking of about Asheville, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: which is one of the hardest hit areas from Hurricane Helene,
Speaker 1: and how prior to this, people like, even in the
Speaker 1: climate field, we're saying like, this is one of those
Speaker 1: places that would be I think pretty good to to
Speaker 1: sort of escape the worst parts of climate change. But
Speaker 1: I think this revealed that there might not be such
Speaker 1: a place that exists. And then page, like I said,
Speaker 1: a swifty you know what's going on. But I'm so
Speaker 1: glad you haven't seen this clip because I think for
Speaker 1: some of us that are terminally online, it was hard
Speaker 1: to miss this video that went viral of this red
Speaker 1: faced boomer just destroying a Taylor Swift guitar. Now we
Speaker 1: don't know why, but I'm pretty sure we know why.
Speaker 1: He didn't outwardly say why, So we'll get into that
Speaker 1: in the provenance of that guitar, but anyway, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that and plenty more but first page, Well, din,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are, what you're into?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: I googled The Third Gilmore Girl, which is Kelly Bishop's
Speaker 5: memoir that came out a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Which one's the third gil Oh? Is that the moment?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Yes, the Grandma? Yeah, yes, okay, yeah.
Speaker 5: I listened to the audiobook of it, and then I
Speaker 5: found myself. I found myself trying to remember like things
Speaker 5: that she said, and I was like, I gotta get
Speaker 5: a hard copy of this, like.
Speaker 1: I need a dog here, some I need to dog here,
Speaker 1: some pages here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I need it as a ref friends text,
Speaker 5: like I need to be able to revisit it.
Speaker 4: I looked it up. I think I'm gonna I think
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wait.
Speaker 5: And maybe get it not to be a bitch, but
Speaker 5: from my local bookstore. But I did google it to
Speaker 5: potentially buy it online.
Speaker 1: And wait, So what's what she like? What she sort
Speaker 1: of what was intriguing to you? Like, oh shit, I
Speaker 1: need I need this all wax, Like I can't.
Speaker 3: Just have this.
Speaker 5: She's just such a cool chick, like she just has
Speaker 5: had such a life and it's just so interesting and
Speaker 5: she just has some real, just some real banger moments
Speaker 5: that I wish I remembered exactly what she said, you know. Well,
Speaker 5: the story that comes comes to mind is there's a
Speaker 5: story in the book she talks about that she got
Speaker 5: cast in something she started in theater and as a dancer,
Speaker 5: and she talks about that she really wanted this agent
Speaker 5: to work with her, and so when she got cast
Speaker 5: in something just by virtue of like people she knew,
Speaker 5: and they asked, is do you have an agent that
Speaker 5: we can call to like work this out? And she
Speaker 5: drop that person's name and said, you can call this person,
Speaker 5: and then of course that ended up working and that
Speaker 5: person became her agent. And she just has so many
Speaker 5: moments like that that I'm like, I want to go
Speaker 5: back and remember exactly how she how she dropped that.
Speaker 1: That's like the kind of shit like when people always
Speaker 1: say fake it till you make it, Like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like one of the few moments it goes off seamlessly,
Speaker 1: because there are other I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of horror stories too where people fake it and then
Speaker 1: they get found out quick.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is funny listening to her story because like
Speaker 5: obviously she's very successful and she's highlighting her best moments
Speaker 5: and stuff, and it is funny, like it is always
Speaker 5: it's it is kind of funny when you're listening to
Speaker 5: or reading somebody's life story and there's sort of this
Speaker 5: thread of like fake it till you make it, or
Speaker 5: advice like that of like if you don't book it,
Speaker 5: it's because you're meant to be in something else.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah for you, yeah exactly, I'm sure that
Speaker 4: felt true for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been faking it so fucking hard, and I'm
Speaker 1: what helped me.
Speaker 3: How harder?
Speaker 1: How much harder can I fake this?
Speaker 3: Ship? Yeah?
Speaker 5: But I just I really enjoyed it, and I was
Speaker 5: like I kind of want the hard copy, so that's
Speaker 5: what I googled.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I feel like old Hollywood advice is like so damaging
Speaker 6: to everyone currently trying to work now because it's always
Speaker 6: just like some shit that not only will that work now,
Speaker 6: but will probably get you in immense trouble, if not
Speaker 6: legal trouble, like sneak onto the lot and just hand
Speaker 6: your script out.
Speaker 1: Yeah right exactly. They're like, who's your agent? Ari Gold?
Speaker 3: Whoever?
Speaker 1: That guy's based on fuck are.
Speaker 3: You e manual?
Speaker 1: Anyway? That's like the that was just like to that
Speaker 1: point about like how shit used to be. I was,
Speaker 1: I was listening to this like interview that aunt Rachel
Speaker 1: from Family Matters. Tell me what's her real name? But
Speaker 1: Telma Hopkins she like used to be like a backup
Speaker 1: singer for like Marvin Gay, and like she was like
Speaker 1: really like up in it. And she talked there's a
Speaker 1: moment she talks about how she for the table read
Speaker 1: for the pilot for Family Matters, she was doing like
Speaker 1: a backup singing gig in Blake Tahoe and for her
Speaker 1: to make it to La for the table read of
Speaker 1: the pilot of Family Matters, the producer sent a fucking
Speaker 1: lear jet.
Speaker 3: To pick her up and bring her back.
Speaker 1: And I was like, for a fucking table read of
Speaker 1: a pilot, I was like, the money's gone, y'all, the
Speaker 1: money's going, or at least it's not moving in the
Speaker 1: same direction anymore.
Speaker 3: It's just all going to the top.
Speaker 1: But anyway, there's that level of Hollywood fake it till
Speaker 1: you make it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I do love a story that I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm not taking the advice from her. I'm just really like, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I just think it's so cool to listen to somebody
Speaker 5: she's I think eighty now. She just turned eighty, And
Speaker 5: it's just cool to listen to someone reflect on their
Speaker 5: life with all the perspective like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yeah, because I could not do that shit
Speaker 1: now with my narrow perspective of life looking back.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're too close to too many of the events,
Speaker 4: you know, dude, I.
Speaker 1: Was such a fucking baller. Motherfuckers didn't even know you
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: I'm in this motherfucker v IP, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Things are going good and I think they will for
Speaker 4: the rest of my life.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm forty and both my parents are still alive,
Speaker 1: and it was all smooth sailing from here. What's anything
Speaker 1: is Underrated?
Speaker 3: Page?
Speaker 5: I decided to go with there's this artist I really like.
Speaker 5: Her name is Orla Gartland, singer songwriter, and I do
Speaker 5: always feel bad saying someone's underrated, because it's like, obviously
Speaker 5: she has some popularity, but I just I she has
Speaker 5: a new album coming out soon. But I really someone
Speaker 5: sent me one of her songs like sometime last year,
Speaker 5: and I got really into her first album called woman
Speaker 5: on the Internet.
Speaker 4: That the title it's it's so good. It's just such
Speaker 4: a good album.
Speaker 1: What's her style? Like?
Speaker 5: Is it kind of like pop indie? I guess okay.
Speaker 1: I see her up there with her guitar, okay, yeah
Speaker 1: orla Yeah.
Speaker 5: I just think she's cool and I just, you know,
Speaker 5: I think it's rare that somebody sends you a song
Speaker 5: and then you go to check out the full album
Speaker 5: and you're like, yeah, I like.
Speaker 1: All of this, right right, that's those are the best
Speaker 1: music finds, like when you find out like obviously we're
Speaker 1: out here looking for songs we like and then artists,
Speaker 1: but like when you find an album, you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, like, yeah, this is there are no skips
Speaker 1: in this. I like this is. I wasn't sure. I
Speaker 1: was like in need of something I wanted to hear
Speaker 1: and I couldn't articulate it, and here it is boom.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's rare.
Speaker 1: So if you're how would you like in it? If
Speaker 1: you were a Spotify algorithm, if you're a fan of X,
Speaker 1: you will like orl of Gartland.
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, Oh that's so hard.
Speaker 1: Come on an algorithm, John Henry, This I'm gonna actually
Speaker 1: look up what Spotify recommend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm curious. Yeah yeah, let the computer do the
Speaker 5: job for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. I'm sorry you should be. I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to make you replace the computer and not the
Speaker 1: other way around. Okay, Orla, let's see listeners who fuck
Speaker 1: with Orla? Also like Baby Queen, Dodie low.
Speaker 4: In some other stuff to check out?
Speaker 3: Is a musician just like.
Speaker 1: I didn't know was an artist.
Speaker 4: Yeah I have, I did know that, but I haven't
Speaker 4: actually heard her music.
Speaker 1: No, Sunflower Bean, that's another one they said I am liking.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: This just makes me old. How all of these sound
Speaker 1: like made up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say. The other
Speaker 5: artist that I was considering bringing up, Who's Ash? Okay,
Speaker 5: but I think she's more popular. But I really like
Speaker 5: her new album Wilson. She's cool because she like kind
Speaker 5: of she kind of dipped for a little bit. She
Speaker 5: had a really good first album and then like moved
Speaker 5: back home for a minute and just came out with
Speaker 5: this new album. And I would say, if you like,
Speaker 5: if you like her, she's she Her famous song is
Speaker 5: I think it was in a movie or something. Uh,
Speaker 5: what is Ashes famous famous? I hate it when I
Speaker 5: have to think of something and it leaves my brain,
Speaker 5: it's okay, moral of the story.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, this is why we have phones. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: would you need to remember stuff with fun?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You don't even brain does an atrophy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't even know how to navigate physical space
Speaker 1: or orient yourself. That's all fucking dumb, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: The phone does? My watch does it?
Speaker 1: Like I even see like that feature and like like
Speaker 1: Apple watches too that it'll literally just guide you to
Speaker 1: wherever the fuck the thing you lost is. It's like
Speaker 1: you're closer hotter, hotter, hotter, I could say, St Christopher.
Speaker 4: What just came to me?
Speaker 5: There is one song on on Orla Gartland's album called
Speaker 5: Codependency that to me, I got really hyped on that
Speaker 5: song because it sounds to me like it would be
Speaker 5: in like a two thousands like movie soundtrack, like it
Speaker 5: would be on the soundtrack of Freaky Friday.
Speaker 4: Like I got pretty hyped on that one. And Zombie
Speaker 4: is similar.
Speaker 1: Fun what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Page?
Speaker 5: I struggle with this one for the same reason. I
Speaker 5: don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Everybody likes everything the
Speaker 5: amount that they do.
Speaker 3: That's fine, that's fine. I appreciate the count.
Speaker 5: So I have a really weak one. But I'm gonna
Speaker 5: say it. I don't like setting my bills on auto pay. Okay,
Speaker 5: I want to know when money is leaving my account.
Speaker 5: I set my rent payment on auto pay in July
Speaker 5: because I was going to be out of town and
Speaker 5: I was just like, oh what if I can't get online, Like,
Speaker 5: I'm going to set it and every month since I'm
Speaker 5: so stressed because it's like a large sum of money
Speaker 5: is going to leave my account. I need to do
Speaker 5: that all in just a few clicks. I need to
Speaker 5: know when money is leaving.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took me a while to get on board
Speaker 1: with auto pay. That's like the one thing that's when
Speaker 1: like I'm like, okay, I think I can put my
Speaker 1: phone on auto pay.
Speaker 4: I like that certain ones you go, okay, all right,
Speaker 4: I think I can handle this.
Speaker 5: I think put on a credit card so I don't
Speaker 5: worry about it that I get that I put that
Speaker 5: bill on my credit card, and I think I have
Speaker 5: money that I don't.
Speaker 4: You know, I just need to be on top of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it helps, It helps it helps, Oh andrew
Speaker 1: everything auto I'll just counterpoint now, just don't be on
Speaker 1: top of it.
Speaker 6: I got burned by auto pay. Actually in a similar
Speaker 6: situation when I moved to.
Speaker 1: LA, I drove, sorry, page, not a similar situation situation
Speaker 1: to you, A similar situation to your fear, which was
Speaker 1: when I moved here, I drove from New York to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and I just fully forgot that my credit
Speaker 1: card bill wasn't on auto pay, and I just like
Speaker 1: missed it by a couple of days.
Speaker 3: Was, you know, on the road.
Speaker 6: And they were not nice about it. Oh, really, you
Speaker 6: might be surprised to learn City group not very nice
Speaker 6: their money. No, No, didn't they descend from a bank
Speaker 6: that used to be in the slave I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean that's mostly I mean, you're gonna be real,
Speaker 6: but yeah, wow, I mean, wait, what do you mean
Speaker 6: like the like what they pulled up on you violent,
Speaker 6: They hit you with some exorbitant fee, they shamed you,
Speaker 6: called your high.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was I think it was like three four
Speaker 1: hundred bucks?
Speaker 4: And how long did you forget to pay?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, hold on, are you talking about interest? No?
Speaker 3: Definitely wasn't interesting. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't keep a credit card balance. I try.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. That Ever, that one time my.
Speaker 1: Dad scared the funk out of me when I got
Speaker 1: out of the house. He's like, look, you're people are
Speaker 1: going to offer you a credit card? Do fucking Maybe
Speaker 1: the interest? Maybe it was the interest and I think
Speaker 1: I had all my moving expenses on so it was
Speaker 1: like one of the big yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ever, yeah, remember good to put this.
Speaker 5: Well, in theory, it's good to put that on a
Speaker 5: credit card, right because then you build credit. I paid
Speaker 5: it off, and then if you have like a card
Speaker 5: where you get points or something. But yeah, but like
Speaker 5: if I had been on auto pay, would would you
Speaker 5: have had? You know what I mean? It's like, do
Speaker 5: you have the money in your account? Like you could
Speaker 5: then overdraw your other account?
Speaker 6: No, thankfully I had it. It was more just like yeah,
Speaker 6: I just I just fully. I was like, I can't
Speaker 6: put this on I don't pay I need to remember,
Speaker 6: and then I'm right, just you know.
Speaker 4: I guess what's overrated as the banks? You know, money
Speaker 4: and the banks.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, bring the whole system down please.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back to talk about the thing that's on everyone's minds,
Speaker 1: the thing that no one missed out on the vice
Speaker 1: presidential debate right after this, and we're back, and I
Speaker 1: guess the last debate that we are going to get
Speaker 1: in this cycle happened Tuesday night when Jadie Vance and
Speaker 1: Tim Wall had their showdown on CBS. And I say,
Speaker 1: I'm I guess it's the last one because I think
Speaker 1: Trump fully backed out of the the the second presidential debate.
Speaker 1: He's also backing out of a lot of interviews, which
Speaker 1: I hope is a sign that he They're trying to
Speaker 1: pull like a Dave type situation, like we need a
Speaker 1: double fucking now because this guy cannot go out there.
Speaker 1: Try to bring up like a really timely reference with
Speaker 1: Kevin Klein Sigourney Weaver film.
Speaker 6: You know you know who could do it is uh
Speaker 6: John Voight in Megalopolis, which is, oh god, yesterday instead
Speaker 6: of the debate.
Speaker 1: Wait, isn't it Sigourney Weaver? Yeah, she was the she
Speaker 1: was the first lady. Okay, So before we get into it,
Speaker 1: the two of you, you both watched it, right, is
Speaker 1: that what you said? You both got it?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 4: No, because I knew I was coming on to this
Speaker 4: and you would tell me you could.
Speaker 3: Learn about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's smart. Okay, Page, great answer. And then Andrew,
Speaker 1: obviously you're you're one of the most like up on.
Speaker 1: You know, this is my one prepared line for this
Speaker 1: entire episode.
Speaker 6: So I was really interested in watching a fascist who
Speaker 6: thinks he's a libertarian who's resentfully doesn't have the approval
Speaker 6: of liberals on the screen yesterday, So I.
Speaker 1: Watched so Megalopolis.
Speaker 3: I will say, you know, I don't come on here.
Speaker 6: I I I feel like the reviews are probably pretty accurate.
Speaker 6: It's it's a pretty specific type of person who like,
Speaker 6: is really gonna love it?
Speaker 3: Probably not me.
Speaker 1: That being said, I there are two scenes in this
Speaker 1: movie that made me laugh harder than anything I've ever
Speaker 1: heard laughed at movie theater.
Speaker 5: This is a new movie that I thought you were
Speaker 5: talking about some old movie right now, there's so much
Speaker 5: stuff and I have no idea why none of us
Speaker 5: are aware of the same stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, and this was also no one would buy this,
Speaker 1: No one wanted to distribute this film, so like, there
Speaker 1: was really no rollout of this aside from people were
Speaker 1: like I think like or not I think like Francis
Speaker 1: Ford Coppola was assaulting people on set and then doing
Speaker 1: massive rewrites on his trailers. It wasn't on the thing
Speaker 1: in his trailer smoking weed. You gotta you gotta you know,
Speaker 1: uh are artists not the art or whatever of it. No,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of terror. I mean, you know, John
Speaker 1: Voyd Child a buff. It's a really who's it's a real,
Speaker 1: real gropy kind of set.
Speaker 6: Well just yeah, but yeah, i'd heard it was, you know,
Speaker 6: not so good, but yeah, not a joke. I laughed
Speaker 6: for Like, I'm not a big theater laugher, but I
Speaker 6: really want buck Well also. And I'll get to this
Speaker 6: at my recommendations at the end, but I saw it
Speaker 6: at which I don't know if the two of you
Speaker 6: have ever been there. I'm aware of it.
Speaker 1: I've not been inside there though, but I'll just give
Speaker 1: just just a little indication of what kind of joint
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For so okay, you know, like AMC a list for
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, thirty dollars a month, you got
Speaker 1: unlimited ish with some restrictions movie screenings. This version of
Speaker 1: this is they have a year pass that costs ninety
Speaker 1: nine dollars. What it is, yo, in my opinion the
Speaker 1: best deal. Yeah, it's like twenty eight cents a day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, I'm I'm thinking here is like
Speaker 1: that place is busted, like like yo, I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: They say it's a movie theater with dining, but it
Speaker 1: does not have like the right vibes the part. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, but it doesn't not feel like if
Speaker 1: you were writing a movie about an obvious organized crime
Speaker 1: drug money laundering allegedly place, allegedly, it would allegedly seem
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 3: Like this place.
Speaker 1: I'm my mind is blown with like a deal that's
Speaker 1: like worse from a business perspective than fucking movie pass.
Speaker 5: Somehow, they're just maybe they're maybe they're in trouble and
Speaker 5: they're just throwing stuff at the wall, like what if.
Speaker 1: This Let me just say, I know about this past.
Speaker 1: I have been to this theater, and I just still
Speaker 1: won't go. I still won't buy that pass.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 5: I was intrigued for a second because I did recently
Speaker 5: cancel my AMC. I've kind of regretted it. It's like,
Speaker 5: of course, like I thought there was nothing coming out
Speaker 5: I cared about, But then I realized as soon as
Speaker 5: I canceled that there's a bunch of stuff that I like,
Speaker 5: kind of care about, and I'm like, oh, damn, see
Speaker 5: that now.
Speaker 6: They do have they have new movies. I mean I
Speaker 6: saw Megalopolis within the first week it's out, and it's
Speaker 6: it seems fine, like there's nothing like outwardly wrong with
Speaker 6: the place.
Speaker 3: It just is.
Speaker 1: There's one star reviews of this place are escaping.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just looking it up, I do.
Speaker 6: I did see a Reddit review for their other location
Speaker 6: where apparently if they sell to like zero tickets or no,
Speaker 6: if zero people have checked in, regardless of how many
Speaker 6: tickets they've sold, they just straight up won't play the movie.
Speaker 6: And so someone arrived late and they just walked into
Speaker 6: a you know, a theater with all the light run no, no,
Speaker 6: like everything just house, like.
Speaker 1: The club is closing.
Speaker 6: They're like, yeah, man, here just nothing, and then he
Speaker 6: you know, they went to to find an employee, which
Speaker 6: took a beat, and then when they finally did, they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: we just told you want us to play it, and
Speaker 6: they just like it was like like a TV at
Speaker 6: your friend's house.
Speaker 1: A couple of buttons of the iPad and the movie
Speaker 1: started Can you wait a second. I got to rewind
Speaker 1: it really quick. You got to rewind it. They should
Speaker 1: let you take just pause the movie.
Speaker 3: You should.
Speaker 6: You should just if enough people in the theater yell
Speaker 6: pause at the same time, just a little.
Speaker 3: Pee break for everyone.
Speaker 1: Are we to pause?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: It could be like a button you push when you're
Speaker 5: like you're you're thinking, and if enough people silently push
Speaker 5: the pause button. Yeah, it's agreed upon.
Speaker 1: You trigger the threshold for the white pause.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So, as we're talking about it, the other thing that
Speaker 6: rules about this place is it it's like a dine
Speaker 6: in movie theater, like an Alamo, except their ordering system
Speaker 6: is on your phone. So in orders for their business
Speaker 6: model to work, you have to turn on your phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cool, perfect, and you have to have sounds on. And
Speaker 1: it's truly else you won't know it is. It is
Speaker 1: my favorite theater for a certain type of movie. And
Speaker 1: I will say meis was definitely does sound right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for ninety nine dollars for the whole year, like it
Speaker 1: does feel Come I go, bro, let's fucking let's go
Speaker 1: get wild over at the fucking Yeah. All right, Well
Speaker 1: enough of that, because we're putting off the actual news
Speaker 1: that happened vice presidential basis, but there'd be part of
Speaker 1: me I was like, I don't know, man, go ahead,
Speaker 1: I mean, because he's the thing. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: talk obviously about what was specifically said, and like like
Speaker 1: any you know, reputable journalist would do talking reporting on
Speaker 1: what was said. None of it was really all that
Speaker 1: surprising given how each campaign has been messaging, like the
Speaker 1: stakes of the election and just like the rhetoric being used,
Speaker 1: but like, like the thing was. Vance tried to come
Speaker 1: off as some kind of moderate when it came to
Speaker 1: things like abortion or like election denial, but failed. Tim
Speaker 1: Walls was just so normal and nice. He sort of
Speaker 1: just kind of seemed out of place next to a
Speaker 1: political creature and chronic bullshitter like Vance. Like there were
Speaker 1: times where he would be like, oh, well, you know,
Speaker 1: there was a time like he misspoke. He was talking
Speaker 1: about like understanding school shootings and he's like, and I've
Speaker 1: become friends with school shooters, and like now like can't
Speaker 1: you know, like conservative news like what Tim Walls is
Speaker 1: friends with school shooters. It's like, dude, the guy clearly
Speaker 1: misspoke and he was talking about becoming friends like his
Speaker 1: sort of stance on gun control change, and he said
Speaker 1: that happened after meeting you know, grieving parents and so
Speaker 1: like again, I think from stylistically, I guess if you're
Speaker 1: just going from who quote sounded better, I would say
Speaker 1: Vance sounded better in that like his the cadence at
Speaker 1: which he spoke was smoother, but there was no substance
Speaker 1: to what he said, and he basically used his smooth
Speaker 1: talking to lie constantly and dance around the real hot
Speaker 1: button issues, like him and Trump's constant vilification of immigrants,
Speaker 1: or the fact that Vance wouldn't even say whether Trump
Speaker 1: lost the election in twenty twenty. It was very Yike's
Speaker 1: adjacent I.
Speaker 4: Saw that, I saw Hi, Yeah, refusing to answer.
Speaker 1: It's it's very I mean, it's like he tried to
Speaker 1: wiggle his way out of it. But again, it's like
Speaker 1: one of those things when you listened to you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this dude is so full of shit,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think Roywood Junior tweeted something along
Speaker 1: the gist of sort of like JD. Vance has the
Speaker 1: energy of a man like a restaurant manager. That understand,
Speaker 1: and your experience was terrible, but he has not taking
Speaker 1: that Hamburger off the bill. Yeah, that's essentially like so
Speaker 1: I think it was for most people, like I don't
Speaker 1: like this fucking guy. And you know a lot of
Speaker 1: talk about the polls, like well, who won, who won?
Speaker 1: There's all like so many headlines who did win the
Speaker 1: debate last night? I mean, like, I think in a
Speaker 1: snap pole that like CNN or CBS may have done it,
Speaker 1: people seemed evenly split. If that fucking matters. When it
Speaker 1: came down to likability, I think Vance demonstrated that, you know,
Speaker 1: despite his better than expected performance, people just don't like him.
Speaker 1: And Walts came out with a boost in his approval
Speaker 1: ratings rather than JD.
Speaker 3: Vance.
Speaker 1: But it really is one of those things where it's
Speaker 1: like you want to see the presidential debates are really
Speaker 1: giving you an idea of like who the president will be,
Speaker 1: whereas this one just feels like and then the two
Speaker 1: lesser characters can talk on stage. Yeah yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: like he's such a freaky.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's such a missed opportunity to really
Speaker 6: you just got to call him a freak to face constantly.
Speaker 1: That was the thing, right, Like Walts was he's just
Speaker 1: he I think he's just genuinely incapable of getting the
Speaker 1: knife ouse, you know what I mean, Like you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: this should have been a knife party up there. This
Speaker 1: guy is has said so many fucking stupid things and
Speaker 1: like offensive, racist, violently misogynistic things that you could just
Speaker 1: be like, hey man, I've actually committed to memory like
Speaker 1: eight things you've said, and I can every time you
Speaker 1: say something, I can just dead that with something that
Speaker 1: came out of your mouth. And the moderators did point
Speaker 1: out a couple of things that they each said or whatever,
Speaker 1: but you know, it just it didn't come it didn't
Speaker 1: come out that way. So I think the other thing
Speaker 1: is that, like Vance, clearly this campaign is just trying
Speaker 1: to say everything that's happening right now is because of
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris down from the fucking weather to like Mike
Speaker 1: Bacon costs forty six dollars because of President Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: and that logic, like he kept using this same shit
Speaker 1: over and over every answer was somehow masterfully and I
Speaker 1: mean that in the most sarcastic sense, would just kind
Speaker 1: of re route the topic back to Kamala Harris. So,
Speaker 1: for example, right like Waltz is pointing out his dehumanizing
Speaker 1: rhetoric around immigrants and how he blames immigrants for like everything.
Speaker 1: It's like this guy's gonna blame immigants or everything, like
Speaker 1: including like the housing crisis. Here is jd Vance's just
Speaker 1: spectacular answer on how he's like, Oh, you think I'm
Speaker 1: blaming everything on immigrants, will hold this l to him. Well,
Speaker 1: Tim just said something that I agree with.
Speaker 7: We don't want to blame immigrants for higher housing prices,
Speaker 7: but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting
Speaker 7: in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does
Speaker 7: drive up cost him twenty five million. Illegal aliens competing
Speaker 7: with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most
Speaker 7: significant drivers of home prices in the country. It's why
Speaker 7: we have massive increases in home prices that have happened
Speaker 7: right alongside massive increases in illegal alien alien populations under
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris's leadership.
Speaker 1: Under Kamala Harris's leadership, I'm just like, I love it igoes. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna blame illegal aliens for everything. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: blame Kamala Harris relating in the legal aliens that are
Speaker 1: the reason we have a housing shortage, like uh, yeah, sir,
Speaker 1: and just like this idea that like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason homes are unaffordable is because people that are
Speaker 1: you know, so destitute that they're willing to leave their
Speaker 1: homes and families behind are the ones outbidding people you
Speaker 1: with a cash offer for a starter home. That's that's precisely,
Speaker 1: and they can't be the corporate you know hovering of
Speaker 1: single family homes being turned into rental units and things
Speaker 1: like that. So it's just like sure, man, yeah, that
Speaker 1: that's what happened. There are a few other really interesting
Speaker 1: gems that came out of him. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people also talked about like gun violence and school
Speaker 1: shootings and what the plan is there. Tim Wallas is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: gun control that could help.
Speaker 3: The JD.
Speaker 1: Vance's first answer was something akin to like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you got to cut down on school shootings,
Speaker 1: but you know, we also need to cut down on
Speaker 1: like the inner city gun problem. You're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so now you're just singing the focus on like black
Speaker 1: and brown people again when the question was about protecting kids.
Speaker 1: But when he asked, you know, when asked for something
Speaker 1: a little more like But what how do you protect kids?
Speaker 1: This was JD Vance, But what do we do about
Speaker 1: the schools? What do we do to protect our kids?
Speaker 7: And I think the answer is and I say this
Speaker 7: not loving the answer, because I don't want my kids
Speaker 7: to go to school and in a school that feels
Speaker 7: unsafe or where there are visible signs of security. But
Speaker 7: I unfortunately think that we have to increase security in
Speaker 7: our schools.
Speaker 1: We have to make the doors lock better, we.
Speaker 7: Have to make the doors stronger, We've got to make
Speaker 7: the windows stronger. And of course we've got to increase
Speaker 7: school resource officers, so we need more police.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need the doors to lock better.
Speaker 1: That's just like again his delivery smooth the substance. We
Speaker 1: need door lock better, we need stronger door.
Speaker 6: He's clearly are are going to be our first gamer
Speaker 6: VP because it's just like there's no dumber like strategy
Speaker 6: except and just like unless you truly believe, like, oh
Speaker 6: h we're fighting now, Oh just right, we need more
Speaker 6: need more armor hit points on the door out of here.
Speaker 1: We actually need a stronger HP HP on like the weapons,
Speaker 1: the offensive weapons that the resource officers are using, as
Speaker 1: well as some kind of protective spell that can be
Speaker 1: cast on the students during such an effer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like his goal is just to just
Speaker 5: talk in a cadence so that you like zone out
Speaker 5: and don't hear what he said.
Speaker 1: That's that's almost precisely like what he's trying to do,
Speaker 1: because it's like the thing where it's smooth. It's again
Speaker 1: it sounds like the guy's talking and saying a normal thing.
Speaker 4: He's totally talking.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, and you're like and if you like, oh, this
Speaker 1: guy's talking, You're like, what yea, what is he what
Speaker 1: is he saying? And he did his best I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess compared to his running mate. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: better debater because Trump is just the sure but that's
Speaker 1: not really saying much. And it's interesting interesting to see
Speaker 1: some of the coverage be like I mean, clearly jd
Speaker 1: Vance like walked out of that one though, like on top.
Speaker 1: But I think just to say that is because he
Speaker 1: just is like just really good at being a bullshitter
Speaker 1: and you know, saying things that are not true, like
Speaker 1: with the confidence of three thousand white men.
Speaker 3: But that's what it takes.
Speaker 1: It seems yeah, I will just say that seems like
Speaker 1: it's the game, who cares if he's lying.
Speaker 5: I mean, I was gonna say, obviously it's different, but
Speaker 5: it reminds me of like there are certain comedians. I'm
Speaker 5: a stand up, so this is like my the way
Speaker 5: I think is this, like there are some comedians who
Speaker 5: you'll watch like crush technicallyly like everyone's laughing, like when
Speaker 5: you think about your like they're just talking in joke cadence,
Speaker 5: Like what they're saying is like a magic trick was done,
Speaker 5: like and then you go, well, ultimately those people left
Speaker 5: thinking they had a good time, so.
Speaker 1: Right, right, right, that is that's how I thought, Like
Speaker 1: as He's and Sorry's like early specials were like I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think this guy is just getting louder at certain points.
Speaker 3: And you say it in the right joke, you know,
Speaker 3: you will that and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, whoa, Oh my god, dude, I can't believe that
Speaker 1: toilet paper costs that much at the store.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 4: I think both speak to the same thing, which is
Speaker 4: that like a lot of people just don't want to
Speaker 4: have to think. So if you offer them that, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he won, I didn't have to think about what happened
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I think most people though, when his like
Speaker 1: when it came down to things like being like pro choice,
Speaker 1: like he just failed like spectacular, like he'll be like no,
Speaker 1: like obviously I think like this is this isn't a
Speaker 1: bad like people should be able to have a decision,
Speaker 1: but that I think that choice goes to the states
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. And like Tim Walls, he had
Speaker 1: a pretty good answer. He's like like miss me with
Speaker 1: all this like like nonsense about if it's a state's choice,
Speaker 1: Like this is just down to someone deciding what they
Speaker 1: want to do with their own body, like anything that
Speaker 1: isn't if we're not just debating that, like there's no
Speaker 1: point in talking about it. And he did keep hitting
Speaker 1: that point. So like in contrast to what Advance would say,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh right, this guy said something like actually,
Speaker 1: like that makes sense rather than his kneely mouthed dancing.
Speaker 1: Then there's just a lot of stuff too, where like
Speaker 1: they were talking about family leave and again Vance like
Speaker 1: we're all about choice, man, Like the choice like if
Speaker 1: you want to sure, if you want to take time off, great,
Speaker 1: but like also if you want a toil to death,
Speaker 1: you know at work, you should be able to have
Speaker 1: that choice. You should have that choice. There shouldn't be
Speaker 1: some federal guideliness to like having family leave because you.
Speaker 5: Know, yeah, if you are bodied that you're gonna your
Speaker 5: family is going to starve to death because you couldn't
Speaker 5: work over this time, then you should.
Speaker 3: Be able to work, and you shouldn't have the option.
Speaker 4: It's a choice.
Speaker 5: If you want to make no money during exact time,
Speaker 5: that's your choice.
Speaker 1: And that's your choice, and that's what we're all about. Choice.
Speaker 1: If you don't want your kid to be able to
Speaker 1: read and you've created some form of mathematics that you
Speaker 1: want to teach them in your home, that's your choice. Okay,
Speaker 1: and we'll try and get your subsidies so we can
Speaker 1: completely destroy public schooling. But anyway, that's that's our.
Speaker 3: Choice. It's all choice.
Speaker 1: That's what it's like when you hear the like it's
Speaker 1: your like, okay, am I choosing?
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, VP de Bay does have
Speaker 6: this weird sweet spot of like, who the fuck is
Speaker 6: actually watching this except for the people that can see.
Speaker 1: Hopefully I would assumed see through all this or like
Speaker 1: have their mind made up either way, I guess right. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: so it's just like there's a little like it only
Speaker 1: matters if someone totally biffs something. Yeah, right.
Speaker 3: I think who undecided watched this well.
Speaker 1: I think the people, like a lot of places or
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, mainstream media coverage of it
Speaker 1: is like jd Vance really fucked up at the end
Speaker 1: when asked point blank about the twenty twenty election, and
Speaker 1: he was just.
Speaker 3: Like who won?
Speaker 1: And he's like like Tim Wallas was like, hey, so
Speaker 1: did he lose? And then Dad Vance goes, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the future, you know, and
Speaker 1: you're just like holy shit, Like it just felt like
Speaker 1: one of those things are like that's those are the
Speaker 1: kinds of non answers that are really revealing. And I
Speaker 1: think that was like one of the moments that I'm
Speaker 1: sure the Harris Wallas campaign will seize because it was
Speaker 1: just kind of being like, yeah, like we got another
Speaker 1: batch of like freaks out here who are like, no,
Speaker 1: we whatever, whatever I need it to be is the reality,
Speaker 1: and we'll, you know, do whatever we have to to
Speaker 1: get there to achieve that. So, yeah, did we learn
Speaker 1: anything new? Not really so in that sense. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like this shifted poles in any
Speaker 1: meaningful way aside from like their own likability or people's
Speaker 1: perception of them and their suitability to be vice president.
Speaker 1: But yeah, nothing, nothing great, you know. In a way.
Speaker 1: That's why I appreciate you telling me I'm spoiling Megalopolis
Speaker 1: for me, because now I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 1: That's actually something I can't wait to at least, so
Speaker 1: watch a pirated copy allegedly. All right, well, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break as we discussed the finer points of
Speaker 1: Megalopolis amongst ourselves, and we'll come back to talk about
Speaker 1: this poor red faced boomer who may have wasted four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, And we'll do that right after this, and
Speaker 1: we are back now. Obviously, the Taylor Swift of it
Speaker 1: all is a huge part of this election, especially for
Speaker 1: people on the right who have somehow they've they've absolutely
Speaker 1: lost it. I this is fucking election tampering. That this
Speaker 1: person said that they don't like Trump, vote Harris. And
Speaker 1: for those of us, like I said, we're online all
Speaker 1: the time. There was this video of this boomer proudly
Speaker 1: bidding on and winning a four thousand dollars guitar signed
Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift, only to smash the absolute fuck out
Speaker 1: of it with a hammer. So I will play this
Speaker 1: clip so everyone can kind of see the delight in
Speaker 1: this man's face. Got like a local auction in Texas.
Speaker 1: This is the man going up. I just won this
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift guitar, and I'm about to show y'all what
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: We don't need the wher, you don't.
Speaker 1: Need the ever special on agilo.
Speaker 3: Look at him hearing.
Speaker 4: It's barely breaking out. This is.
Speaker 1: All right, don't take defending up that fust thing.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, there's so much going on here.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 3: I fully did not realize there was an in person auction.
Speaker 3: That is one.
Speaker 5: I also assumed he would have smashed the guitar in
Speaker 5: the fun way to smash a guitar that we all
Speaker 5: dream of, but no, we would never do, like least
Speaker 5: if your rockstar fantasy.
Speaker 3: And yeah, exactly humiliating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's like a little hammer like attack
Speaker 4: hammer something like nothing is happening to it.
Speaker 1: I know, Like I mean again, nothing says I am
Speaker 1: not afraid. I am a strong man. That nothing quite
Speaker 1: like that then hammering a guitar that you think Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift side. But here's the thing, a lot of people
Speaker 1: close to Taylor, and I guess knowledgeable fans are claiming
Speaker 1: that the thing he bought wasn't even fucking signed. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just a Taylor Swift guitar for this is
Speaker 1: for Variety reported a source close to Swift's merchandise company
Speaker 1: confirmed the lack of a signature. While it did come
Speaker 1: with a signed CD insert, the guitar itself was not signed.
Speaker 1: Another source close to Swift made similar allegations to the
Speaker 1: Huffington Post. The source pointed out that an authentic Swift
Speaker 1: signed guitar would have come with an official certificate of authenticity.
Speaker 1: So people saying, like when the video, they're like, here, man,
Speaker 1: here's your four thousand dollars rage piece, do your fucking
Speaker 1: worst worst without any kind of certificate. But then like
Speaker 1: a TMZ said, oh, we actually have the certificate that
Speaker 1: the man was given. Fans also were noted pointed out, like,
Speaker 1: it's doesn't have a this seal that is typically on
Speaker 1: this document that would say that it's the genuine item.
Speaker 1: You can buy the unsigned guitar on eBay right now
Speaker 1: for four ninety nine.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, this.
Speaker 4: Way, So do we know did this guy go there
Speaker 4: with this plan in mind.
Speaker 1: No one que we haven't heard from the asshole in question.
Speaker 4: He's been silent.
Speaker 1: The fact that the auctioneer had a hammer, and also
Speaker 1: there was a sniper rifle on a tripod on the
Speaker 1: like dais behind them. Yeah, this was like this whole
Speaker 1: thing was for this, right, let's let's zoom out of it.
Speaker 1: This wasn't auction in Texas hosted by the Ellis County
Speaker 1: Wild Game Dinner. This was like the Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a wild for like hunters, I guess, And yeah, I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's pretty clear what the point was.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of people hooting and hollering, and they
Speaker 1: were just getting off on the fact that this guy
Speaker 1: pissed away four grand to break something that Taylor's well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think again because Fox and every like Elon
Speaker 1: Musk Trump, they've all just lost it about it. Like
Speaker 1: now the like sort of automaton action now is like
Speaker 1: must destroy Taylor Swift inanimate objects to then win the election.
Speaker 5: This is like did you see the guy who did
Speaker 5: this like months ago, it might have been last year,
Speaker 5: the guy who like made a point of he went
Speaker 5: to target and bought the like target exclusive nineteen eighty
Speaker 5: nine Taylor's version vinyl to like smash in the parking lot.
Speaker 5: But then it's very clear that he replaced it with
Speaker 5: a different vinyl to smash and like with black, it's
Speaker 5: like not the like blue or whatever that that vinyl is,
Speaker 5: Like he saved, he bought, He bought it because he
Speaker 5: had the case.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he replaced like the vinyl thing that he
Speaker 1: pulled out of the sleeve was a completely different color.
Speaker 1: And I will now assert my dominance over this flat
Speaker 1: vinyl disc.
Speaker 5: And it was just like he so he wanted to
Speaker 5: preserve his purchase, I guess. And then like if everyone
Speaker 5: was commenting that, and I feel like he maybe did
Speaker 5: a follow up where he really did smash it or something,
Speaker 5: But all.
Speaker 3: Right, you caught me.
Speaker 1: But now watch this. This is the real one I
Speaker 1: was saving, Like my daughter's a fan, and I thought
Speaker 1: it'd be a nice yeah, but fuck that, y'all.
Speaker 3: You want to pull my card?
Speaker 1: Show you how boud it?
Speaker 4: I am, Like, it's just crazy to be such a dork,
Speaker 4: Like it's just so brutal, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, symbolism, it's just so literal, for like, when it
Speaker 1: comes to conservative outrage campaigns, it's like destroy the object.
Speaker 4: Yeah, show everyone it always comes with after purchasing it, Yeah,
Speaker 4: after giving her more money.
Speaker 1: Exactly, the kind of have just like a like a
Speaker 1: pay pig relationship with Yeah, it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is how I prove take take
Speaker 1: my money, sir.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me first of all put some money in Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift's pockets. But then I'm gonna break this thing because
Speaker 1: I'm so mad.
Speaker 5: At it, and I do believe in capitalist society, and
Speaker 5: I do believe she deserves the money for this, So
Speaker 5: I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Pu Obviously, I'm not a communist.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna I'll be doing more damage to her
Speaker 6: bottom line because so many people will see how much
Speaker 6: I hate her and be on board with oh we

Speaker 1: find you? Follow you, hear you, what to tweet you
Speaker 1: like or something you're watching and.
Speaker 3: Not saying? Then? Yeah, my podcast is yo is is racist?
Speaker 6: And I just read I did a short fiction reading
Speaker 6: a friend of this show and my personal friend as
Speaker 6: fo as Molly Lambert has a a monthly show called
Speaker 6: Jazz Roulette and Echo Park. But one of the poets,
Speaker 6: especially Natalie Schapiro Shapiro Chapiro with an E.
Speaker 3: Was fucking great. She was so great.
Speaker 1: I haven't I haven't written or read short fiction in
Speaker 1: straight up twenty years, and I don't think I've been
Speaker 1: to a poetry reading and longer than that, and that
Speaker 1: ship was wonderful.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Also Megalopolis also shout out they're gonna hopefully look if
Speaker 1: you work, you know, look, look just hit us here.
Speaker 3: Here's what I will say about.
Speaker 1: As I started going there during the writer's strike multiple matinees,
Speaker 1: I encountered not one human being. And I don't mean
Speaker 1: like no patrons. I mean literally, no one took my
Speaker 1: ticket at the door, No one was in the theater.
Speaker 3: It was amazing.
Speaker 6: Like I'm not saying just sneak into the theater. I'm
Speaker 6: not saying that, but all right, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: One human being.
Speaker 5: Well, you could plan to go to a movie, like
Speaker 5: pick a movie and then and I'm not saying do this,
Speaker 5: but pick a movie that has a similar time and
Speaker 5: at the AMC at the Americana and try first yes to.
Speaker 1: Walk in and they're like fun, all right, we gotta
Speaker 1: pay for it, Okay, all right. So if you're willing
Speaker 1: to see a movie, I do believe it's also just
Speaker 1: cheaper in general than normal theater.
Speaker 3: I do recommend it. You realize it's not like it
Speaker 3: doesn't have some of the like amenities.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it has I guess technically has the amenities,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the like social structure of other
Speaker 1: movie theaters.
Speaker 3: I find it a good way.
Speaker 1: Again. The phone thing really the fact that like to
Speaker 1: order to make their business function, you have to pull
Speaker 1: up your phone basically unfold. Also, they have like reading
Speaker 1: lamps on the seats that are just the brightesthit you've
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's not for sinniasts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, your phone. Just this just reminded me. I went
Speaker 5: to a movie last week with some friends and I
Speaker 5: didn't notice what they were looking at, but my friend,
Speaker 5: who was sitting a little closer did. There was someone
Speaker 5: in the row in front of us opening their phone constantly,
Speaker 5: and it turned out what they were doing was checking
Speaker 5: their Instagram story views. Hell yes, yeah, like a lot,
Speaker 5: like like really frequently throughout the movie. Yes, and apparently
Speaker 5: posted a story like uploaded a photo from like an
Speaker 5: earlier time, and was like seeking if someone had viewed it.
Speaker 4: And I just want to say to that person, I hope,
Speaker 4: I hope it happened for you.
Speaker 1: Just can't have if you don't know how many likes
Speaker 1: you have, why are you alive?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Point Well, you know they're looking for a specific person.
Speaker 3: See this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's like honestly the gift and the curse
Speaker 1: of all this data available to people and ship like that,
Speaker 1: where like, you know, what what happened is just doing
Speaker 1: an emo post on MySpace and you're.
Speaker 3: Like, you didn't know.
Speaker 5: You know, we all look at our story views or
Speaker 5: check things like that, but like boldly just throughout the
Speaker 5: duration of a movie. It was like a really full theater.
Speaker 1: It, yeah, we're at that point the movie becomes this
Speaker 1: person and now you're invested in their story. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh god, who are they? They keep they keep looking
Speaker 1: what's this account? And then now you're like looking, like
Speaker 1: I can see a few handles. Let me just see
Speaker 1: what's going. Oh I should also say, don't get the
Speaker 1: wings that they were they were pretty dry. Thank you, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you for that transparency. I was never going to
Speaker 1: get the wings.
Speaker 3: It was. It was wild to get anything with a
Speaker 3: bone in it or anything like that. Just yet.
Speaker 1: Pre made pizzas, premade pizzas seem like.
Speaker 4: The things on the Yelp reviews that the popcorn was cold.
Speaker 1: So I said that the martinis came in over big
Speaker 1: wine glass and oh yeah, minutes into a movie.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're still talking about it.
Speaker 6: The other thing that's hilarious is they have frequent novelty
Speaker 6: cocktails that come in glasses that are bigger than their
Speaker 6: couple versus.
Speaker 1: So you have to put like glass on the floor.
Speaker 6: I mean there's like a little tidy, like like you know,
Speaker 6: desk table thing, but if you got food and a
Speaker 6: humongous cocktail, there's.
Speaker 3: Nowhere to put I love.
Speaker 5: The reason I can keep talking about this is Victors
Speaker 5: put this in the chat. That's the experience I like.
Speaker 5: I totally agree. I like bad stuff, so.
Speaker 4: I kind of think I would love Yeah.
Speaker 3: I recommend check it out.
Speaker 6: You have literally nothing to lose. There's a real chance
Speaker 6: that it won't even cost you money to go in
Speaker 6: and just see. It's you either love it or you don't.
Speaker 6: But I personally love it eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 6: I would say I would like it for eighty percent
Speaker 6: of yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. I think it's like one
Speaker 6: of those things when you go in there being like, yo,
Speaker 6: this is about to be some shit. You're prepared and
Speaker 6: that's all you need. If you go in there and
Speaker 6: being like, oh, it's a dining cinema and then you
Speaker 6: get some other shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be.
Speaker 1: You'll be like, no one took our tickets, Like at
Speaker 1: that Bridgerton Ball in Detroit, anyone could just walked in here.
Speaker 1: It is the Bridgerton Ball of like, it's technically not
Speaker 1: a scam. They give you everything to the letter that
Speaker 1: said they would give you right. Right.
Speaker 3: The spirit is very much not there, but.
Speaker 1: You were operating on a different You knew what the
Speaker 1: assumption would be, and it was a little bit different. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you can find a thing. I like, I've just been watching. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the Marvel cinematic universe aside
Speaker 1: from everything I absorbed sort of ambiently, and I started
Speaker 1: watching WandaVision because I wanted to watch the Agatha all
Speaker 1: Along show. Most people were like, you should watch WandaVision
Speaker 1: if you even want to even make because I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to see Catherine Hahn and this other thing,
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I'm like so confused what you want?
Speaker 1: But it's fucking tight. I'm like, wait, isn't that the girl?
Speaker 1: I saw her in the Captain Marvel movie? And I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm doing the thing where people are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the cinematic universe, dummy. But hey, listeners, if there's
Speaker 1: other things I should be aware of that make it
Speaker 1: make more sense, I'm all ears because I liked At first.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is kind of cool, this genre
Speaker 1: bendy thing, and then it became more of a mystery show,
Speaker 1: which I'm also liking. Anyway. You can find me at
