Speaker 1: There was a thing where someone was isolating how Trump
Speaker 1: kept saying tesla tesla. Was he saying everything's computer wow?
Speaker 1: And this is so nice. Everything is computer tesl Wow.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of I Love Testler Plan that's from
Speaker 1: the list.
Speaker 2: So this is one of those acts that doesn't make
Speaker 2: any sense to me, Like Boston makes sense to me
Speaker 2: because it's just lazy. It's like, instead of ours are
Speaker 2: hard to say, so you just say pack instead of park.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're are less and that makes sense because like,
Speaker 2: are you know, it's just easier your mouth is doing less.
Speaker 1: Word was going to say. I was like, and Robert
Speaker 1: wool the way these motherfuckers are r less.
Speaker 2: But adding an R to the end of tesla is
Speaker 2: so much extra work, yeah, because it's just not.
Speaker 1: Sodar in my tesla. It's like, but that's where I think.
Speaker 1: Those are the connections from British English that carried over
Speaker 1: because they do that in the UK too well. But
Speaker 1: most of Britain is artless, Like but you go to
Speaker 1: like the West Country and they start adding ours to stuff.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, make up your mind about ours. New York
Speaker 2: and England fucking.
Speaker 1: Reminds me of like, yeah, I was gonna say it
Speaker 1: reminds me of a guy woman, a woman named Magda.
Speaker 1: But the guy was like mag Well I started doing that.
Speaker 1: This guy had a New York accent and he had
Speaker 1: a check wife called Magda. But I stily just turned
Speaker 1: into Magdar Magdor. I like Tesler. I love Tesler. There's
Speaker 1: your cold fucking open, and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're not that we never left. Hello the Internet and welcome.
Speaker 2: It was a seventeen minute uh cold open.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Miles Gray.
Speaker 2: Did I say Hello the Internet and welcome to this
Speaker 2: episode Early's Guys. Yeah, Yeah, it's Saint Patti's day. My Hi,
Speaker 2: you did doing a tip of the cop and the
Speaker 2: top of the iron and top of the top of
Speaker 2: the top of the morning.
Speaker 1: It's your time to shine Jack Saint Patrick's day. Ah,
Speaker 1: and I'm Jack Trick's day.
Speaker 2: I have an extra little twinkle in my eye because
Speaker 2: I'm drunk this morning.
Speaker 1: No happy, happy Saint.
Speaker 2: Patrick's It is really always I realize that Saint Patrick's
Speaker 2: Day the morning of Saint Patrick's Day, and then have
Speaker 2: to like dig through my kid's closet for like something
Speaker 2: that's even vaguely green.
Speaker 1: We do not have any green. It's my favorite color.
Speaker 1: I don't have green clothes my kids.
Speaker 2: I'm wearing a T shirt that like is moth bitten,
Speaker 2: Like the collar is like coming apart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just because it's green and you got a green
Speaker 1: hat on. I don't get o bro. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a kink. So this is also a time for me
Speaker 1: to really shine when I when I pull up it
Speaker 1: all black everywhere. Yeah. But today this morning, we also
Speaker 1: had the same realization because, like you know, we record
Speaker 1: the show early. So I was working on the show
Speaker 1: and her Majesty goes to drop off the kid at daycare.
Speaker 1: They get the text. Oh right, today's Saint Patrick's text.
Speaker 1: I got it. I was like, his pants are kind
Speaker 1: of irish. They were made of like flannel, like just
Speaker 1: the pattern. Yeah, kind of traditional, but yeah, I forget that.
Speaker 1: Like as a kid, it's like, yeah, dude, you fucking
Speaker 1: we better pull up in all green, bro, where's your green?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yah? And Jesse, if y'all pinch my two year old,
Speaker 1: it's fucking ugly leave him alone.
Speaker 2: Very pinchable cheeks too, So it's it's not easy, but
Speaker 2: you are demanded, you are asked not to not to
Speaker 2: pinch house this two year old. Yeah, future HR imploy
Speaker 2: Like people who work in HR are the ones who
Speaker 2: are running around middle schools.
Speaker 1: You're like, where's your green?
Speaker 2: Are you wearing green?
Speaker 1: And it's St Patrick's Day? Now I get to pinch
Speaker 1: you or deny you benefits, whichever it is down the
Speaker 1: road for me.
Speaker 2: All right, this is the episode where we tell you
Speaker 2: what was trend to go over the weekend and a
Speaker 2: little bit about us by telling you something we think
Speaker 2: is underrated, something we think is overrated.
Speaker 1: Miles, you want to kick us off? What do you
Speaker 1: want to do? Underrated? Overrated? Let's go under. Let's go under.
Speaker 1: Underrated swing sets? Yes, or just sucking a fucking swings, y'all.
Speaker 1: This is sentimental music. Yes, the swing set is. I
Speaker 1: fucking sleep on the swing set so much. But now, guys,
Speaker 1: child is full grown playground age. Play on the playground,
Speaker 1: swing on the monkey bars, swing on the swing set,
Speaker 1: and more often than not, I find myself like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, he's chilling over there and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: laying leaning on the swing. Yeah, I just started. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I got my eye legs and I start swinging on
Speaker 1: that ship. Next thing I know, there is a line
Speaker 1: behind me of children who want to use the swing.
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, it's because you're like taking so long,
Speaker 2: But second of all, it's because of how much you're
Speaker 2: enjoying it. That is a communicable disease. They're like, God damn,
Speaker 2: they're like that guy's fucking flying over there. That washed
Speaker 2: old motherfucker likes that hold on forty something. Guy is saying,
Speaker 2: maybe I should try that.
Speaker 1: As a four year old on a playground waiting my turn,
Speaker 1: something I hate so oh, thank you, thank you. It's
Speaker 1: just like wild, It's just so liberating. And I was like,
Speaker 1: damn is it because like this is sort of like
Speaker 1: our earliest sensation of like flight, and it's like soothing
Speaker 1: as kids. And then I started looking into it too.
Speaker 1: It like stimulates our inner ear on three axes, vertical, horizontal,
Speaker 1: and diagonally, and there's a sensation in your inner ear
Speaker 1: that you're also experiencing. That is like kind of part
Speaker 1: of it, and that kind of stip simulation. We don't
Speaker 1: get that all the time. And then I got deeper
Speaker 1: and motherfuckers are drawing a line, because that is our
Speaker 1: evolutionary pipeline back to primate swinging. That that was the
Speaker 1: last time we were regularly getting that kind of stimulation
Speaker 1: in the inner ear. So there is like this evolutionary
Speaker 1: thing potentially. I'm a little bit hesitant on that, and
Speaker 1: it's probably true because god damn, I fucking love the
Speaker 1: fucking swing and it's so peeling. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just had as a child every day, and then
Speaker 2: not until I was, like, know, thirty five and had
Speaker 2: a kid that I was like hanging out on the
Speaker 2: playground exactly like you said, Bean and back on it,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what.
Speaker 1: Would happen if I lifted my legs up? Whoa, Oh, whoa,
Speaker 1: who's this? This is just as fun as it was
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Yeah, there's something. They're so fun.
Speaker 1: There's something here. Yeah. So I recommend, you know, if
Speaker 1: there's an empty playground or fuck it, you know, just
Speaker 1: do it, wait in line like everybody else, and use
Speaker 1: the swing set.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, great underrated Miles. I fully agree.
Speaker 2: Everybody go go swing. You know, there's all these like
Speaker 2: adult like dodgeball leagues and stuff. I don't know, I've
Speaker 2: not gotten into the adult dodgeball leagues. But that's like
Speaker 2: not a it's not a sense memory that I have
Speaker 2: from childhood, like other than like getting beaned by top
Speaker 2: balls and being like bad at it. But swinging, just
Speaker 2: just do one swing, just stand back, let it go there.
Speaker 2: You can't do one, you can't do just one. Hell yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like the Pringles. Yeah, all right. Mine is a
Speaker 2: kind of inexplicable and very specific type casting. I talk
Speaker 2: a lot about type cat like just you know, there's
Speaker 2: a certain type of type casting where the person clearly
Speaker 2: just thinks they look good doing a thing, and so
Speaker 2: they like always do that thing over and over. Movies
Speaker 2: like the John Cusack knows he looks good in the rain,
Speaker 2: and so his character always find themselves. Tom Cruise thinks
Speaker 2: he looks good running. Yeah, his characters always seem to
Speaker 2: have to run around. The Tom Hanks one is probably
Speaker 2: the most inexplicable in this area because he it doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense that he thinks he looks good peeing, but
Speaker 2: he but he loves his characters like it's clearly coming
Speaker 2: from the actor being like, I don't know what just
Speaker 2: a note here, Robert zamachis what if Forrest said he
Speaker 2: had to go pee it.
Speaker 1: No, there was like okay, yeah, I mean panther scene,
Speaker 1: So I gotta get one somewhere.
Speaker 2: I gotta be somewhere. What he had multiple times in
Speaker 2: this movie, uh probably did.
Speaker 1: The director's cut is actually just every every historical person
Speaker 1: he meets, I have to be the speech at the
Speaker 1: fucking reflecting pool.
Speaker 2: Preestcene ends with him and being like, and I gotta
Speaker 2: go fee. That's what he's just running because he's looking
Speaker 2: for a bathroom. Uh. But so then they're the ones
Speaker 2: that clearly aren't the actor's idea. We've mentioned James Marsden
Speaker 2: and Jason Clark being like two actors who just always
Speaker 2: like seem to get cooked or like at least had
Speaker 2: to run, Like James Marsden had to run in the
Speaker 2: aughts where he was just you know, getting cooked by Superman,
Speaker 2: getting cooked by Wolverine. Starred in straw Dogs, a remake
Speaker 2: of this like horrifying movie that is uh yeah like that.
Speaker 1: It's just there's a lot of that in his career.
Speaker 2: Jason Clark, similarly, the blank Check Pot cast has pointed
Speaker 2: out that he is also somebody who just always seems
Speaker 2: there's something about Hollywood that looks at these guys and
Speaker 2: they're like, man, I could fuck that guy's wife. I
Speaker 2: kind of should, right, he's perfect. And then all right,
Speaker 2: so there's a weird one and it's not. There's only
Speaker 2: two instances, but it's so specific. On HBO right now,
Speaker 2: are you watching the third season of A White Lotus?
Speaker 1: Finished the first episode, but we are. We're in the
Speaker 1: process of it.
Speaker 2: So Walton Goggins, himself a tremendous tooth actor, keeps being
Speaker 2: cast as someone with a younger girlfriend who has terrible
Speaker 2: teeth or you know, notably.
Speaker 1: Different not American capped teeth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And it's only two so far. But like
Speaker 2: his Uncle Baby Billy and Righteous Gemstones, and in that one,
Speaker 2: it like makes sense because he's like dating someone from
Speaker 2: the Holler, and like, I think the teeth are like
Speaker 2: meant to communicate something. But in this one, it's just
Speaker 2: a very pretty woman whose trademark is like having weird,
Speaker 2: weird front teeth.
Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, well, I think more because it's just like
Speaker 1: the sense that our our perception of teeth is so
Speaker 1: fucked up from movies. We're like, like that person has
Speaker 1: like non or he had likely perfected teeth that you're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck.
Speaker 2: They let in normal teeth for once, and it's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, what is happening.
Speaker 2: I saw some like things that were like it's a
Speaker 2: revolution for her really that like this he's gonna start
Speaker 2: coming and well or just generally the revolution Walton Goggins
Speaker 2: tip of the spear, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but more just to be like, but
Speaker 1: what did Walton Goggins teeth look like? Preed you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, pre gigantic teeth. He's got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got some big old champas. Yeah, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, I totally get that because I've
Speaker 1: definitely that's been something that I've just seen being written
Speaker 1: up about her teeth specifically and just how people were like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Think it's yeah, I think I think it is great
Speaker 2: to like normalize, you know, people with not the same
Speaker 2: or as people. Yeah, exactly, but yeah, it's so specific
Speaker 2: and if anybody's I'm not familiar with this full body
Speaker 2: of work, like Injustified, I guess it would make sense
Speaker 2: if it hadn't Unjustified, because that's all about like Kentucky.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, let me know, are there other
Speaker 2: instances of this in the Goggins Uvra. Yeah, it's pretty
Speaker 2: it's pretty weird.
Speaker 1: Always like but it's like, yeah, because he always dates
Speaker 1: younger women who don't have perfect teeth, right, it's just
Speaker 1: and then his drink is like getting their teeth fixed.
Speaker 2: He's like, it's like the Lorne Michaels of predatory Rumors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, has dated every woman on their first season of
Speaker 1: sn O. That's his thing.
Speaker 2: What is something, Miles do you think is overrated? Oh?
Speaker 1: Man, overrated? God bro. The consultant class. So I was
Speaker 1: talking with some old friends from my political days over
Speaker 1: the weekend at a function. Naturally we all got to
Speaker 1: talking about, Yo, what the fuck is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1: Like what are they fucking doing? And one of my ogs,
Speaker 1: like my mentors and all of this just was like
Speaker 1: he was kind of confused by my question because I
Speaker 1: was like, is it that, Like I'm just guessing it's
Speaker 1: just all of this, Uh, these habits that are just unbreakable,
Speaker 1: and the consultants are the ones that enable everything. He's
Speaker 1: like yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, man, what do you
Speaker 1: think what's happening? And basically, you know it's that the
Speaker 1: consultants they do not have an ideology aside from working
Speaker 1: on the next campaign and getting that money. They're like
Speaker 1: fucking seasonal workers. They're like mall Santa's political consultants, especially
Speaker 1: the ones that work on campaigns. They're just looking for
Speaker 1: what's the next crisis, what are donors going to try
Speaker 1: and turn the money hose on? And how do I
Speaker 1: get in front of that money hose. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what the fucking politics of it are. How do I
Speaker 1: let the money hose touch me? And when you look
Speaker 1: at races like across California too, there's like a well
Speaker 1: defined number of like consulting firms that do a bulk
Speaker 1: of the campaign work and messaging and things all that,
Speaker 1: and they've been using the same playbook for decades now,
Speaker 1: So like not only are they inflexible with their thinking
Speaker 1: like if and like you know, they just look at
Speaker 1: again campaign season as money making season. That means also
Speaker 1: when you're used to doing shit over and overweight and
Speaker 1: you don't change anything, you start cutting corners in the
Speaker 1: way that like twenty candidates have the exact same looking
Speaker 1: website and flyers and even TV ads. But because they're
Speaker 1: in different races, people aren't going to realize that you're
Speaker 1: just doing the same thing for people and just like
Speaker 1: swapping out a candidate for your bit, like just very
Speaker 1: generic messaging, being like and that's how we'll win because
Speaker 1: it's California. But I think it's really interesting to see
Speaker 1: that the way like we I think a lot of
Speaker 1: in America, there's this exaltation of the political class in
Speaker 1: a way that people think that these are like, these
Speaker 1: people are eons smarter, and they're like in doing a
Speaker 1: job that no one else can. But again, it's like
Speaker 1: any job, any sales job, anything where you're sort of
Speaker 1: oriented towards fine where the money comes in. You do
Speaker 1: whatever you can to get the money. That means saying
Speaker 1: yes to their bad ideas. That means showing them polls
Speaker 1: or whatever your own data that helps them feel better.
Speaker 1: So they always like, yeah, you know, I like working
Speaker 1: with that firm. I'll give them more and more and
Speaker 1: more money. It's just a very like entrenched way of
Speaker 1: doing things, and I think it I think it's just
Speaker 1: better that we begin to realize there's nothing special about
Speaker 1: these politicians. And we'll get to what happened over the weekend.
Speaker 1: But you know, anyone can do this, Yeah, at the
Speaker 1: point anyone.
Speaker 2: I mean there now, like those people who are involved
Speaker 2: in politics, I feel like are at a disadvantage because
Speaker 2: they're so embedded in this. There's like a narrative happening
Speaker 2: on the New York Times side with like Ezra Kline
Speaker 2: and Matthew Iglesias where they're like talking about how the
Speaker 2: groups are the problem with the Democratic Party. But like
Speaker 2: when they talk about the groups, it seems like they
Speaker 2: mean progressive politics, Like they always like tie them to
Speaker 2: progressive policies and like being like that the groups is
Speaker 2: synonymous when they talk about it with standing up for
Speaker 2: trans rights and you know, viewing trans people as actual people,
Speaker 2: Like that's what the groups means to them.
Speaker 1: And I thought the groups are getting all upset that
Speaker 1: people need health care. It's like, I can't wait to
Speaker 1: how they broaden out what the groups are in terms
Speaker 1: of what we think of what we service people.
Speaker 2: There's a truth there that there is a thing that's
Speaker 2: broken in the system, and this is it.
Speaker 1: It's it's the consultants.
Speaker 2: It's the people whose job it is to take polls
Speaker 2: and tell you where to change your positions.
Speaker 1: To you know, keep in line.
Speaker 2: And just like the ones who are like playing it
Speaker 2: like a game that disconnects it from anybody's real lives.
Speaker 2: I think you're absolutely right that like there's it's really
Speaker 2: a thing with like education and like all these people
Speaker 2: like went to you know, Ivy League schools or whatever,
Speaker 2: and they uh are like they when they talk about populism,
Speaker 2: So they're in an industry that's supposed to be like
Speaker 2: about getting votes, and they like use the word populism derisively,
Speaker 2: like like synonymous with racism. Like in a lot of cases, say,
Speaker 2: what the fuck are you talking about? That's not populism
Speaker 2: is just like trying to appeal to people. It's not
Speaker 2: it shouldn't be a bad word for what you're doing,
Speaker 2: but they need this. How do's the thing about this?
Speaker 2: Over the weekend with regards to like also the Luca trade,
Speaker 2: because because like I was thinking about Nico Harrison's like,
Speaker 2: uh like thinking and like I think probably what happened
Speaker 2: is behind the scenes, like after they lost the championship,
Speaker 2: he like started telling this narrative to people around him,
Speaker 2: like we actually can't win with Luca, Like Luca's he's yeah,
Speaker 2: he so he got this like take that people were like, oh,
Speaker 2: that that's actually like kind of an interesting, counterintuitive take
Speaker 2: and like that's what we want from like a GM,
Speaker 2: so that's like cool and interesting, and he just like
Speaker 2: got so gassed up on this take that he made
Speaker 2: the worst decision in the history of basketball because of
Speaker 2: like this just insidery shit that goes on, where like
Speaker 2: you have to justify that you are you have your
Speaker 2: job for a reason.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You're so fucking you're so
Speaker 1: outside the paradigm that you can see the whole matrix.
Speaker 2: Because if everybody else is right that Luca, you just
Speaker 2: have a generational talent and the smartest thing you can
Speaker 2: do is shut the fuck up and not build ordered
Speaker 2: him and just like hope that everything comes together then
Speaker 2: like you're not important, But like I don't think he's
Speaker 2: like waking up being like how do I make myself
Speaker 2: feel important? But I think that is like what myth
Speaker 2: led him, and that's what misleads the Democratic Party so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're used to for so long you think
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, bro, this is it. This is the formula,
Speaker 1: and I don't really need to change much here.
Speaker 2: And it's rewriting the history of you know, like Obama winning,
Speaker 2: Clinton winning Biden winning those had nothing to do with
Speaker 2: these consults. Dallas getting to the finals had nothing to
Speaker 2: do with Nico Harris. But they want to rewrite that
Speaker 2: history so it is about them, and so they take
Speaker 2: they make these like you know, counterintuitive interesting to say
Speaker 2: over cocktails, deductions that are just complete, complete bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's the groups you mean, like the base.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's this poll from NBC over the weekend that
Speaker 2: just seven percent of people say they have a very
Speaker 2: positive view of the Democratic Party. Yeah, which is like
Speaker 2: an all time low. And the lad when you dig
Speaker 2: into like what they want from them, Like back in
Speaker 2: April twenty seventeen, people asked, like, what what do you
Speaker 2: want Democrats in Congress to do? Back in April twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: it was sixty percent wanted them to make compromises with
Speaker 2: President Trump to gain consensus on legislation. That was a
Speaker 2: time when people were out in the streets, and like
Speaker 2: you know, now March twenty twenty five, it's thirty two
Speaker 2: percent want them to make compromises with Trump. Sixty five
Speaker 2: percent want them to stick to their positions, even if
Speaker 2: this means not getting things done in Washington. But they
Speaker 2: don't like it's I think it's exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Like they just want them to believe in something and
Speaker 2: stick to the thing that they believe in, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: for that thing to have something that is related to
Speaker 2: what there's season.
Speaker 1: Life democrats, they're seasonal holiday workers. Ro I'm Santa this
Speaker 1: time year, then I'm the easter Bunny this time of year.
Speaker 1: Then I'm a leprechaun, then I'm a jack o lantern,
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do to court the money. And
Speaker 1: not to say like you're ideologically fucked up for being
Speaker 1: a season, but like that's what it feels like. And
Speaker 1: I think the other difference is all of us who
Speaker 1: are regular people who are not you know, coming from
Speaker 1: dynastic wealth or obscene wealth, that we are forced to
Speaker 1: live in a principled way no matter how we live,
Speaker 1: Like we don't have the ability to just kind of
Speaker 1: like fucking like just live life like this, Like we
Speaker 1: are beholden to being like, no, I need healthcare all
Speaker 1: the time, I need my rights all the time because
Speaker 1: I can always get touched by the state or by
Speaker 1: bad actors and things like that. But you look at
Speaker 1: your representatives and they don't they're not standing on the
Speaker 1: same shit consistently, Like what the fuck is this? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: how does this make sense to me? A person who
Speaker 1: is at the will of this system. But the people
Speaker 1: that were quote unquote electing to represent that are there
Speaker 1: and it's been like I don't know, man, it's it's
Speaker 1: getting too hot for me. So like, fuck everything I
Speaker 1: said on the campaign trail. I got to stay in
Speaker 1: office and I don't want to own a shutdown. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that after the break, all right,
Speaker 2: am My. I overrated is the versatility of the song
Speaker 2: Shipping up to Boston, the Dropkick Murphy's song, That's.
Speaker 1: What it's called. I think, well, yeah, it's just so
Speaker 1: funny because when I saw you, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: at all, And at first, when I read your take
Speaker 1: this the versatility of being up to Boston, I was like,
Speaker 1: is he No? I first thought you were talking about
Speaker 1: mailing something to Boston. Boston is overrated. It's actually versatility. No,
Speaker 1: you can't get suf there, but yeah, that's the Dropkick
Speaker 1: Murphy's Yeah. Every Guinness ad.
Speaker 2: Guinness ad, every Saint Patrick's Day thing like it's it's
Speaker 2: become the fucking like jingle bells of Saint Patrick's Day
Speaker 2: of like anything having to do with Irish culture, and
Speaker 2: I don't like my kids this morning asked Alexa for
Speaker 2: a Saint Patrick's Day song because they're still in that
Speaker 2: age where it's like, this is a holiday, this is
Speaker 2: a thing to celebrate at school, and that was the
Speaker 2: first thing that came on. And it's just like a
Speaker 2: little aggressive for like that song does go hard, Like
Speaker 2: I don't I like that song in the right circumstances,
Speaker 2: but I feel like it's just so so specifically, like
Speaker 2: such a specific energy to just be like and this
Speaker 2: is our Saint Patrick's Day anthem, Like they're there's like screaming.
Speaker 2: It just feels weird to have like a holiday for
Speaker 2: people who are like fun loving and I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, they they fight sometimes, but they're every once
Speaker 2: in a while.
Speaker 1: But I think because like we just like the worst
Speaker 1: habit we have in America is flattening. Whole culture is
Speaker 1: based on the most popping movie that like intersected with
Speaker 1: that group. All Irish people are the Depotted exactly. That's it.
Speaker 1: Pal everything is that if you're Irish, it's the Depotted
Speaker 1: or the town maybe, but it's still the Depotted and
Speaker 1: not to be the Depaded, because for me, it's huge
Speaker 1: In The Departed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's like a sick part where they're like
Speaker 2: all driving to like the Irish Boston Ship.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. Then I was like, yeah, yeah, that's Irish,
Speaker 1: that's Irish. That's it.
Speaker 2: I mean, we got you two, we got the Cranberryes,
Speaker 2: we got Shinead O'Connor. You know, well, there's plenty, but
Speaker 2: the problem is that that's the only one that has
Speaker 2: that like Irish fiddle, like taking a walk all over
Speaker 2: the place, but.
Speaker 1: That like as consumers were so inflexible, that's all I got.
Speaker 1: Where's that classic Irish fiddle? Irish? Like this is the
Speaker 1: most Irish band you're listening to right now. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just such an ass kicking music to be the
Speaker 2: like number one song associated with holiday.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that's what I got. Connor McGregor at the
Speaker 1: White House. I know.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the fact that that is
Speaker 2: the song that came on when my kids were like,
Speaker 2: let's listen to St Patrick's name music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is a sign that Connor goes on And then
Speaker 1: you see literally Connor McGregor at a White House podium,
Speaker 1: screaming xenophobic ship again, the America Movement, the Maira movement.
Speaker 1: I guess, make Ireland myga miga, make Ireland great, Ireland
Speaker 1: great again, megam.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back.
Speaker 2: We'll check him with Washington d C and uh other
Speaker 2: less shitty things.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 2: And the Dropkick Murphy's are from Quincy, Massachusetts. Bro, Quincy, Massa, Bro.
Speaker 2: They're shipping up to Boston for real.
Speaker 1: Though I did a when I used to work artist
Speaker 1: hospitality for concerts, I did a show. This was crazy.
Speaker 1: So there was a call of Duty game that was
Speaker 1: coming out, like Call of Duty, like I think it's
Speaker 1: modern Warfare two. And there's this huge fucking thing where
Speaker 1: they paid Kanye West and the Dropkick Murphy's to perform
Speaker 1: at this thing. And I was in charge of setting
Speaker 1: up both of the their dressing rooms. The Kane dressing room.
Speaker 1: We had to get like a tires stream, dude, it's
Speaker 1: so so fucked up. You had to get an interior
Speaker 1: designer to get the right like. He had all this shit,
Speaker 1: like they had to be the right fabrics. He couldn't
Speaker 1: see dry wall. It had to be all fabrics around him.
Speaker 1: Then he wanted like cold press juice from Australia that
Speaker 1: we tried to fed like he at the last Mews,
Speaker 1: like I need this shit tomorrow, like it's only available
Speaker 1: in Australia. We called this company in Australia, like there's
Speaker 1: no even if we send somebody on a plane right now,
Speaker 1: wouldn't get there in time, so we had to navigate that. Conversely,
Speaker 1: the Dropkick Murphy's, their writer was just like some Miller
Speaker 1: high life, some sandwich stuff. The only interesting thing was yeah,
Speaker 1: truly like mayonnaise, bread mustard, and one bad action movie
Speaker 1: on DVD, Like there's like the kind you would find
Speaker 1: in a bin on your way to check out at
Speaker 1: best Buy, And they allowed that was up to you
Speaker 1: dealer's choice. Just some bad, bad action movies. That's fun, man,
Speaker 1: Like that was only specific thing. I was like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this shot out to you guys should be like our
Speaker 1: weird thing is like we want to see a shitty
Speaker 1: action movie and sandwiches rather than fabrics. Oh only metal
Speaker 1: straws for a fucking Nazi West. Also wow, yeah, very
Speaker 1: very very stupid anyway, Sorry.
Speaker 2: And I do want to shout out there. You were
Speaker 2: saying there's a clip where somebody wore Maga shit at
Speaker 2: or Dropkick Murphy show and they called out So yeah,
Speaker 2: there again, nothing wrong with that song, just I feel
Speaker 2: like we need another one, like I think it used
Speaker 2: to be Sunday Bloody Sunday, like the U two song.
Speaker 2: Like that one just sounds like a You two song.
Speaker 2: It's it's just like jangly guitars, you know, so like
Speaker 2: you yeah, like you said, we just need that. That
Speaker 2: Irish fiddle taking a walk, Yeah, Irish like pub music.
Speaker 1: Is a blast.
Speaker 2: You ever go over there, that's just like there's always
Speaker 2: going to be people just fucking around on three around
Speaker 2: the fiddle.
Speaker 1: There's roop on every corner.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is literally like what they ask us to
Speaker 2: believe about duop groups in the fifties. But it's like
Speaker 2: every pub has just like some people just fucking ripping.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My mother in law, she's a big fiddler. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like her goat activity is just like every couple
Speaker 1: of years she's like, I'll go to Ireland to get
Speaker 1: down on fiddle because that's a legit fiddles blast.
Speaker 2: All right, myles, let's check in with Washington, d c last,
Speaker 2: last time, last time on Creek, Washington.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Schumer cave. You probably heard this guy was saying
Speaker 1: he wasn't interested in this Republican spending bill, but then
Speaker 1: did a fucking Vince Carter one and gave the Republicans
Speaker 1: the support to pass the continuing Resolution in the Senate.
Speaker 1: So we moment to maybe stop things up and apply
Speaker 1: pressure do something drastic in the face of drastic illegal
Speaker 1: activity from the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Everybody seems to be asking for exact right now you
Speaker 2: co signed it.
Speaker 1: One argument again was like, well, we don't want to
Speaker 1: own a shutdown. Polling came out that a majority of
Speaker 1: voters were like, bro, this is not on the Democrats,
Speaker 1: it's on the Republicans and Trump, like the people could
Speaker 1: see what was happening. Now that arguments can be made
Speaker 1: for why shutdown could potentially make Trump more powerful, as
Speaker 1: then he could maybe abuse the shutdown to truly be
Speaker 1: like here's who's essential and here's who's unessential, and not
Speaker 1: going to do maximum pain because the government's shut down.
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, that would be something
Speaker 1: Trump would wholly own and would only create more outrage
Speaker 1: for what Trump is doing. And potentially get people in
Speaker 1: the fucking streets.
Speaker 2: The thing people are upset about, and the reason people
Speaker 2: it would have been popular like that people are asking
Speaker 2: for this is like it feels like this thing is
Speaker 2: fucking veering off the rails and nobody is hitting the brakes.
Speaker 1: Do you guys want knife slow or knife fast? And
Speaker 1: then it was like, so so so so slow. I
Speaker 1: want to feel every fiber of my chest breakdown as
Speaker 1: this serrated blade fucking stabs me, rather than let's get
Speaker 1: to it and now let's figure out what the fuck
Speaker 1: we're doing anyway, So there's a lot of debating now
Speaker 1: like or what could have happened, And there's infighting because
Speaker 1: clearly the House Democrats like, do not just fucking shut
Speaker 1: this shit down, dude, this is already fucked up. But
Speaker 1: we will see. But it's just really hard. Again. I
Speaker 1: think I think we were right to really hang on
Speaker 1: that clip of Chuck Schumer leaning that protest outside of
Speaker 1: the Treasury building, like early on in the administration, he's like,
Speaker 1: we will win, and you're like, we will win, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: and here we are so much winning. So yes, there
Speaker 1: are there are your Senate Democrats, folks, and then Trump
Speaker 1: defied another judge, So the courts, Yeah, we'll stand up.
Speaker 1: You thought Trump deported hundreds of Venezuelans that he alleged
Speaker 1: were trend de Aragua gang members by invoking the fucking
Speaker 1: Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: what we did to fucking in turn Japanese people, Germans like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a wartime type thing. But he
Speaker 1: just basically used that because it allows him very broad
Speaker 1: powers to be able to do executive actions that speed up,
Speaker 1: specifically mass deportations. A judge was like, what the fuck
Speaker 1: are you talking? No, absolutely not. It's like, bring these
Speaker 1: people back. And Trump basically was like, oh, sorry, the
Speaker 1: planes can't turn around because when the decision came to plate,
Speaker 1: the planes were in the air. Trump basically claimed that
Speaker 1: they were in quote international airspace, so it wasn't he
Speaker 1: was doing the international waters yeah arguments, And everyone's like,
Speaker 1: that's not even a fucking thing, asshole. You you were
Speaker 1: the administration. We're telling you to reverse an action through
Speaker 1: a legal court order, and you're like, oh, but it's
Speaker 1: an international out of my hands now. Yeah, truly, So
Speaker 1: this is again another constitutional crisis moment, and you have
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, also the guy who's the deputy director of
Speaker 1: the FBI and his fucking podcast. I was like, who's
Speaker 1: gonna fucking enforce this? Trump? Trump owns the Marshalls, So
Speaker 1: what's the problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the I mean, we're going to talk
Speaker 2: to Alec Carrickott Sanas on tomorrow's episode. But that is
Speaker 2: a thing that kept coming up for me as we
Speaker 2: were talking about, you know, the his new book is
Speaker 2: awesome copaganda. Yeah, but it really feels like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean he does own own the cops, and they're ready.
Speaker 2: They're yeah, they're on standby. They're fucking ready to do the.
Speaker 1: Very least, do their jobs the way they'd like to
Speaker 1: do them right, and then exactly let the chips fall
Speaker 1: where they may. But yeah, it's fucking anyway. Constitutional Crisis
Speaker 1: entry number four hundred and thirteen. Yeah, all right. Wanted
Speaker 1: to check in with jd. Vance.
Speaker 2: He went to the Kennedy Center prior to Thursday night
Speaker 2: performance by the National Symphony Orchestra. Him and his crew
Speaker 2: filed in and people booed them lustily for like thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: People were shouting, you ruined this place.
Speaker 1: You know. It's sort of like when you hear a
Speaker 1: symphony warm up and you get to hear them dial
Speaker 1: in their their stringed instruments. This booing is so great
Speaker 1: and watching him and Usha try and cope with it
Speaker 1: to like smile it off to each other, like look
Speaker 1: at this, Look at us, honey, here's the chorus of booze.
Speaker 1: Here he comes. He sat down here, Like wait, what
Speaker 1: they start up? You're realizing who just sat down? Uh huh?
Speaker 2: Drinking his red wine. He's waving. He's getting some thumbs downs.
Speaker 2: I bet yeah, was that?
Speaker 1: Honey? Haters are gonna hate, aren't they? Honey, haters are gonna.
Speaker 2: Hate a sign of how cool we are. Yeah, some
Speaker 2: people were shouting, you ruined this place. He just kind
Speaker 2: of smiled and waved to the crowd. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean this is this is what Like he turned the
Speaker 2: Met crowd into a bunch of like Mets fans. They're like,
Speaker 2: you're a fucking bomb Vance.
Speaker 1: Yeah. When it's like fuck you Soto, they're like, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: Yanke Space, why the oh sorry, yeah, fuck you Vance, go.
Speaker 2: Back to Ohio. You couch fucking douche was the sentiment.
Speaker 2: They didn't quite say that. Instead, and you were ruined
Speaker 2: this place, How dare.
Speaker 1: You which still fantastic, because let it be known, Let
Speaker 1: it be don't let these people have a fucking second
Speaker 1: of fucking peace. Let them fucking stay at mar A
Speaker 1: Lago and insulate yourself because you are not welcome out here, Brett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: refusing to.
Speaker 2: Give them the social credit that they do all this
Speaker 2: shit for, you know, like the social credit they never
Speaker 2: got in their normal lives, because they're fucking losers like
Speaker 2: Elon Musk should not be allowed in Polay society without
Speaker 2: people going full you know, drunk Yankees, outfield standing.
Speaker 1: Guy who tried to catch the fucking found where they
Speaker 1: all out. They're actually they're they're Elon's bodyguards, now, those guys.
Speaker 2: But these are deeply uncool people who are desperate to
Speaker 2: be cool. Yeah, and it feels like it's surprisingly effective
Speaker 2: to attack them on the level of a high school
Speaker 2: mean girl, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, sadly, but we just have to go
Speaker 1: back to the thing that made them hateful people. Probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't think this made a mark.
Speaker 2: The interim president of the Kennedy Center, who was you know,
Speaker 2: appointed by Trump, Richard Grennell, called for more diversity and inclusion,
Speaker 2: but only in regards to uh, you know, making room
Speaker 2: for people with opposing political views. Ah, so you know,
Speaker 2: we're actually into DEI just as long as it's in
Speaker 2: the service of insulating powerful people from fleeting moments of
Speaker 2: discomfort caused by their own actions, that is when that's
Speaker 2: that's what the guy is really about. In the end,
Speaker 2: the diversity of you know, you want to be able
Speaker 2: to have wealthy people and also like really wealthy people
Speaker 2: in the same room.
Speaker 1: So it was wild to man. Rick Granow has had
Speaker 1: such a fucking weird He's like one of these like
Speaker 1: gay conservative guys who's had all these different roles. He
Speaker 1: used to work in national security like the last administration.
Speaker 1: He was hired on the Romney campaign in like it
Speaker 1: like back in twenty twelve, and all of these hate
Speaker 1: groups are like, you hired a gay guy and then
Speaker 1: he got fired. He's like, oh my god, he's had
Speaker 1: all these like this fucking wild ass career and then
Speaker 1: to land on we need more diversity. He's like, I
Speaker 1: love that we're Muslim and Jewish and agnostic and black
Speaker 1: and white and Asian, but also and gay, but also
Speaker 1: no drag shows at all. Nope, anti American, nothing thing
Speaker 1: here anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Intolerance towards people who are politically different
Speaker 2: is just an unacceptable It's just as unacceptable as intolerance
Speaker 2: in other areas. Yeah, what other areas? Do you think
Speaker 2: intolerance is unacceptable? Because it's nothing from your actions seems
Speaker 2: to have anything. He has previously criticized the Equality Act
Speaker 2: and railed against transgender youth rights.
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, cool guy. He's dude,
Speaker 1: he's sick, and you know, I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: Sebastian Gorka's spoken word poetry jam at the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 1: It's going to be fucking awesome. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2: And you might have seen this story that Canada, So
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks go, maybe the beating of last week,
Speaker 2: Canada was talking about possibly turning.
Speaker 1: The power off.
Speaker 2: They give the US a big power electricity you know,
Speaker 2: comes down via tubes.
Speaker 1: I think. I'm not pipe pipes, ripes and pipes, I believe.
Speaker 2: But now it was being rumored that they were going
Speaker 2: to go with the nuclear option in the trade war
Speaker 2: and take away porn Hub because apparently porn Hub is
Speaker 2: a Canadian website. This is a bullshit story. However, we're
Speaker 2: going to do the service for you here telling you
Speaker 2: this is bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's wild when you see that and you're like, oh damn,
Speaker 1: that would I mean, yeah, American people love their pornography,
Speaker 1: and the biggest provider of pornography being shut up would
Speaker 1: be an interesting arrow in their quiver. But again, I
Speaker 1: think this is it's just funny that this becomes a
Speaker 1: headline and then when you really go back to it,
Speaker 1: it's basically this story should be called how Twitter clips
Speaker 1: become headlines for clicks there aren't actual news.
Speaker 2: I mean, and they are going to you know, Trump
Speaker 2: Trump's policies are going to eventually take porn away from
Speaker 2: people eventually with like all the like page dating and shit,
Speaker 2: like I think it's already in Utah right, like the
Speaker 2: and it's going to be like spreading around the country
Speaker 2: where like you have to give like scan your license
Speaker 2: to get to like go on a porn website.
Speaker 1: Right, so you know it will be taken away, but
Speaker 1: this is probably not how it's going to be taken away.
Speaker 2: It's owned by a Canadian private equity group that took
Speaker 2: over after Pornhub became the target of a number of
Speaker 2: lawsuits over sexual exploitation, was the subject of Netflix documentary.
Speaker 1: That was unflattering.
Speaker 2: And so, you know, private equity is the place that
Speaker 2: extracts wealth while creating so many shell companies that you
Speaker 2: can't be legally liable for anything. They just get tired
Speaker 2: of chasing you through like layers and layers of shell companies.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: But the whole reason that this became a thing was
Speaker 2: there was a New York Post article which noted that
Speaker 2: it called porn hub Canada's nuclear weapon in the trade war.
Speaker 2: This quote exclusive article, as it was titled, about an
Speaker 2: interview with a Toronto based stand up comedian who floated
Speaker 2: the idea in an Instagram video. Yeah, so, I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe getting it a deeper truth. But if this is
Speaker 2: what they need to understand that the Trump administration is
Speaker 2: coming for their porn, if they have to blame Canada
Speaker 2: to do that, then you know, hats off.
Speaker 1: I wonder if like, also, like that's like the New
Speaker 1: York Post trying to like soft push stories that make
Speaker 1: you like, let's not fuck with Canada, guys, because it's
Speaker 1: sucking up everyone's bag right now. Yeah, Yeah, just fucking
Speaker 1: just say that they could do that. It's if they
Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon are born. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm sure, like, with all the fucking data they have
Speaker 1: on Americans, couldn't they fucking turn that into something a
Speaker 1: little more useful. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I bet Trump doesn't look at internet porn. I bet
Speaker 2: he's like eminem in that bay like a bunch of
Speaker 2: He's like this eight millimeter film I've got and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh God, to do a screening room.
Speaker 1: What's written on that film? Canister says Pellicolas day snuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say it looks like the there's
Speaker 2: like people wearing stag heads and ship. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 2: the block and white from from the first season of
Speaker 2: True Detective.
Speaker 1: He's got that ship. Uh fuck all right?
Speaker 2: Uh. In real news, Tesla has had to halt cyber
Speaker 2: truck deliveries because and this is apparently like I'm no
Speaker 2: car industry expert, but this is apparently bad. Uh. The
Speaker 2: cyber trucks are literally falling apart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 2: We've seen various videos where like, you know, the pedal
Speaker 2: falls off, like the gas pedal falls or like get
Speaker 2: stuck and shit like by like something else that fell off,
Speaker 2: and now like the bumpers are falling off the like
Speaker 2: various panels, so like the cyber truck is just glued
Speaker 2: together essentially. Yeah, So they're being put on a what's
Speaker 2: called a containment hold while they try and figure out
Speaker 2: like better glue to use.
Speaker 1: I guess ah, yes, glue don't need rivets or anything
Speaker 1: like that or I don't know how other sh it's
Speaker 1: made or welding technology. But yeah, I remember so many
Speaker 1: early videos who were like, bro, like look I can
Speaker 1: just take off this window trim in the interior like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling it off. Yeah. It was a fucking sticker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's like a cheap you know, like trinket
Speaker 2: that you get at I don't know, like I'm thinking
Speaker 2: of like you know, little like things that you would
Speaker 2: win at like a church carnival or something, and then
Speaker 2: you like pull on one thing and it all just
Speaker 2: like comes apart, like tes.
Speaker 1: To dust somehow, like what the fuck? It like transitions very.
Speaker 2: Stately assembled and mostly with like not very strong glue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, poor guy.
Speaker 2: There was already a recall last summer due to improperly
Speaker 2: adhered trunk bed trim sale applique applicquet, but a recent
Speaker 2: viral post highlighted just how terrible and dangerous the problem
Speaker 2: is with just like stuff falling off the front of
Speaker 2: the car falling off the back.
Speaker 1: It's like wild too, because I I'd regularly look at
Speaker 1: the like Tesla cope sort of posts because you know,
Speaker 1: I've read it as a place for aggregating that stuff.
Speaker 1: And there's like a couple of posts because there's like
Speaker 1: certain like these engineer type guys and like car people
Speaker 1: on YouTube who are like reviewing the car and like, dude,
Speaker 1: this thing fucking sucks. Like they're like, this can't even
Speaker 1: hoe anything. Another guy who's like this former NASA engineer,
Speaker 1: he's like this camera system is fucking not good at all.
Speaker 1: Like when you think about the technology that's out there,
Speaker 1: like it might be interesting to people who don't know
Speaker 1: what other technologies exist or like the advantages of like
Speaker 1: lidar and things, and people are like these people shouldn't
Speaker 1: be posting this. This is like they're trying to create
Speaker 1: an agenda against the truck. It's like, motherfucker, this guy
Speaker 1: worked on technology though he's on the fucking Space shuttle.
Speaker 1: I think his opinion holds a little bit of weight
Speaker 1: when he's analyzing this thing, and very matter of fact,
Speaker 1: they'd be like, ooh, this feels like smoking Mirrory, like
Speaker 1: it works but is not the best by any stretch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, a lot of people are so. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, the brand has become toxic. There's that story
Speaker 1: from last week where like a bunch of car the
Speaker 1: Tuzla's at their wheels stolen. I got a lot. They
Speaker 1: were all on cinder blocks, and shit.
Speaker 2: I don't know out there. What changed you guys? What's
Speaker 2: what's wrong? Mm hmm, Yeah, forty wheels were stolen to it,
Speaker 2: Brian the editor this paragraph. I guess I didn't because
Speaker 2: you do see cyber trucks around LA in particular, and
Speaker 2: like we saw some down and not as many in
Speaker 2: Austin as you see in La. I feel like is
Speaker 2: maybe the hot and probably San Francisco.
Speaker 1: But there's this.
Speaker 2: Paragraph from a Fortune article from a few days ago that,
Speaker 2: according to Cox, automotive sales failed to top thirty nine
Speaker 2: thousand last year, even though Tesla had installed capacity to
Speaker 2: build over one hundred and twenty five thousand. So like
Speaker 2: that the thing that had made it through to me
Speaker 2: for some reason. Was that like they were like just
Speaker 2: not able to make that many. But they could have
Speaker 2: made more if people wanted to fucking buy them, but
Speaker 2: nobody does. The Fortune article goes on to say the
Speaker 2: cyber truck can be considered a flop already given its
Speaker 2: lofty expectations. Musk said demand was so far off the hook,
Speaker 2: you like can't even see the hook and rezor and
Speaker 2: also claimed that rezor vasions were taken for almost two
Speaker 2: million trucks. Mmm, he sold thirty nine thousand and like
Speaker 2: they can't sell anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I mean it's that's that sucks. And it's
Speaker 1: interesting to think of what the states are that had
Speaker 1: the highest purchasing intensity for Tesla. That's all Blue states man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what happened. Now, look at what happened. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: also just it all went downhill. When you called that
Speaker 1: that guy who's trying to rescue them kids in the
Speaker 1: Taie cave a pedophile, Yeah, that's what you mean.
Speaker 2: That's when we first started seeing the signs. I think
Speaker 2: I think the thing that really made his car uncool.
Speaker 1: Is this sea hiling.
Speaker 2: The sieg hiling really hurts, and you know, I'll give
Speaker 2: you that.
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. It might be that. It might
Speaker 1: be that why did they start doing swapstickas on all
Speaker 1: the cars? Now it could be his his leadership style.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, leadership price cuts. I think a job cut.
Speaker 1: I think that's what people are objecting to. Oh.
Speaker 2: Also, the person most associated with any car brand in
Speaker 2: the world is out here doing sigiling.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Somehow Henry Ford, who was a Nazi, managed to
Speaker 1: fucking you know, Duck and Duck and Dodge and was
Speaker 1: next to Adolf Hitler's work desk. Yeah, wasn't he putting
Speaker 1: the protocols in the fucking glove boxing it in the
Speaker 1: glove box? Yeah? Somehow that guy spun it better. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Motherfucking Elon just seek Island on.
Speaker 2: Stage there is like you still read like he was
Speaker 2: the Elon Musk of his time. Like they people were
Speaker 2: just like as Henry Ford would say, like in books
Speaker 2: from that time. Uh, that people just you know, America
Speaker 2: just loves to create a fucking uber genius who is
Speaker 2: like all knowing and like did it all himself.
Speaker 1: He's so smart. It's like, no, he learned how to
Speaker 1: like exploit the labor better with the assembly line, right,
Speaker 1: was efficiency so he can make more money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like Elon Musk what he does, he's not
Speaker 2: like good at creating products. He's not good at creating technology,
Speaker 2: like his space ship keep blowing up spectacularly. This car
Speaker 2: is a piece of shit that like nobody seems to
Speaker 2: want to buy at the price that he can make
Speaker 2: it for. He's just he hypes the shit out of
Speaker 2: products and just himself uses his popularity with a very
Speaker 2: specific type of person who falls for that shit, and
Speaker 2: then like pretends to just be a genius and then
Speaker 2: he lies. You know, he realized like the fact that
Speaker 2: you can say you have two million reservations and then
Speaker 2: you only sell fifty thousand like that, he just knows
Speaker 2: what people won't pay attention to, like this sort of lies.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and again, all of these people, they operate
Speaker 1: under a different set of laws than regular people do.
Speaker 1: We can't we can't do at our job over promise
Speaker 1: some shit and then be like, oh, actually it's the
Speaker 1: supply chain and no, you can't do that. Same way
Speaker 1: the Trump administration or just even companies will be like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: all these wage garnishing we did, Oh we have to
Speaker 1: pay that back. Okay, we don't go to jail, but
Speaker 1: we just have to we can just always be like,
Speaker 1: oh fine, I fuck it. We didn't get away with it.
Speaker 1: Like that is kind of a mentality. And I think
Speaker 1: he knows he knows how to manipulate the markets because
Speaker 1: someone put together how the consecutive times he's been promising
Speaker 1: full self auto drive for like the for the for
Speaker 1: the Tesla and years is like twenty six, it'll probably
Speaker 1: be next year. Then they show the next year. I
Speaker 1: think we're within in the next eighteen months, just every
Speaker 1: fucking time. And he was just like, damn, these people
Speaker 1: are so fucking dumb that they let this guy keep
Speaker 1: kicking the promise down the road of full self drive,
Speaker 1: never delivering and still sending the value of the company up.
Speaker 1: And I think that also has to do with a
Speaker 1: lot of the fact that a lot of huge like
Speaker 1: so many people's retire, like a lot of these company
Speaker 1: people are buying Tesla stock too and making them part
Speaker 1: of like four oh one k's and things like that,
Speaker 1: so like a lot of people are kind of stuck
Speaker 1: in this sort of circuits of how Tesla is going
Speaker 1: to go up and up and up and up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like hard Times.
Speaker 2: A good thing that Malcolm Gladwell wrote was a New
Speaker 2: York article about like studying how people become uber wealthy,
Speaker 2: and it just comes down to their ability to be
Speaker 2: like predatory, find like deals that benefit them and like
Speaker 2: screw over the other person and then just like hammer
Speaker 2: that over and over and over until they're like, so
Speaker 2: that's that's all it is. It's just predatory opportunism is
Speaker 2: what he's good. And like with regards to like making
Speaker 2: a ton of money, it's nothing besides that. But because
Speaker 2: we worship money so much, we're just like, he's actually
Speaker 2: tech Jesus, right, and actually.
Speaker 1: He's tech Jesus. In video game parlance, we call that.
Speaker 1: You know, if the games, when you had there was
Speaker 1: a move that you could just lock somebody up in
Speaker 1: the corner, like for example, Mortal Kombat, you could use
Speaker 1: sub zero, you could freeze the motherfucker then trip the
Speaker 1: face over. They don't have a they can't get a
Speaker 1: move out, and you're like, yeah, I won that shit,
Speaker 1: and like, yo, you fucking cheesing bro. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: you're doing. And that's the same thing that these billionaires are.
Speaker 2: They have one move and then they go back and
Speaker 2: rewrite their career to make it seem like they were
Speaker 2: actually geniuses.
Speaker 1: No, like sub zero, you're freezing and tripping philosophies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I'm glad we're putting him in a
Speaker 2: position to totally fuck over everyone in the US.
Speaker 1: If it enriches him, we'll see. We'll see if if
Speaker 1: he chooses to do that or not. Be interesting.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And finally, some good news for for the Irish, you know,
Speaker 1: finally so uh.
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien has been announced as the host of the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Oscars already.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow set the ratings up sky high, I bet
Speaker 1: from announcing so early. Well, so, okay, that's Snicky Glazer
Speaker 1: for the Golden Globes last week too, So I wonder
Speaker 1: if that and they're really locking it in early. I
Speaker 1: mean they both failed it. No, it's going to be
Speaker 1: worth watching next year, just so you know, we're giving
Speaker 1: you a year or like nine months to just so
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna want to watch it.
Speaker 2: So Nielsen updated the total uh streaming numbers okay, based
Speaker 2: on and on the Oscars, and it was a billion Sorry,
Speaker 2: no it wasn't. It was a nineteen point sixty nine million,
Speaker 2: but it it did top last year's telecasts, which was
Speaker 2: surprising because, like as as mentioned, you know, the year
Speaker 2: before was Oppenheimer and Barbie, two movies that like everybody saw,
Speaker 2: but this one had more people watching it and interacting
Speaker 2: with it on social media. So I do think that's
Speaker 2: the testament to the fact that people are you know,
Speaker 2: the movies are open again, baby, people want to go
Speaker 2: back to the cinema. And also he did a good
Speaker 2: job cinema cinema, yes, exactly. I do want to thank
Speaker 2: the Academy for making a pot of gold reference because
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien is Irish and their tweet announcing him, they said,
Speaker 2: forget the pot of gold, this Saint Patrick's Day, We're
Speaker 2: giving you something even better. Conan O'Brien is officially returning
Speaker 2: to host the ninety eight Oscars, and then him against
Speaker 2: a green background holding an oscar.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's much easier to reduce Irish
Speaker 1: culture to pot of gold than also with the cool
Speaker 1: parts that are like standing up for fucking social justice
Speaker 1: and equity, like a strong tradition.
Speaker 2: Of that we can't really identify with that we can
Speaker 2: identify with pots of gold. Gold yeah, and greedily guarding
Speaker 2: pots of gold. That's kind of the thing that US
Speaker 2: Americans appreciate about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2: I just got to say, me and Conan have to
Speaker 2: put up with so much databases, not knowing what to
Speaker 2: do with the apostrophe in our last name.
Speaker 1: Yep, that fucking sucks. Dog, Dude, I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it, bro. What are you saying to me? I
Speaker 1: get it, bro, I know what it's like to.
Speaker 2: Be would like to be discriminated against. You know, the
Speaker 2: Irish were slaves too. Here's this photo shops picture of
Speaker 2: the signs says Irish need not a fly. Anyways, Conan
Speaker 2: said that the only reason I'm hosting the Oscars next
Speaker 2: year is that I want to hear Adrian Brode. He
Speaker 2: finished his speech because his speech was really long, and
Speaker 2: that is the joke. Anyways, there you go, Happy Saint
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day, America. Irish guy, Yeah, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Speaker 1: You can have Connor McGregor or Look, there are two
Speaker 1: genders in America. Are you for Connor McGregor or are
Speaker 1: you for Conan O'Brien. Conan O'Brien. Yeah, fuck, dude, that
Speaker 1: Gregor thing is frightening.
Speaker 2: I gotta see it. So he just went up and
Speaker 2: was just prove what was He was just talking about
Speaker 2: how I can play as he's just being taken over.
Speaker 2: It's basically he's.
Speaker 1: Trying to do the exact sort of like you know
Speaker 1: America First type agenda by blaming, like saying like Ireland
Speaker 1: is giving too much money to immigrants and not enough
Speaker 1: on the Irish people. But it's funny this the way
Speaker 1: this video shot, it almost looks like he just got
Speaker 1: up there and started talking because the camera work is
Speaker 1: as shaky as his speech voices of the people of Ireland.
Speaker 1: And it's high timed that America is made aware of
Speaker 1: what is going on in Ireland. What is going on
Speaker 1: in Ireland is a travesty. Our government is the government
Speaker 1: of zero action with zero accountability. You know, our money
Speaker 1: is being spent on overseasons. No, your money is being
Speaker 1: spent on cocaine, a condor regret.
Speaker 2: He's also getting Barry Bond's head. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: his head is changing shape. Yeah, he's I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what he's on, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the head is getting bigger. The head is
Speaker 1: It could just be like post he's not in fighting weight,
Speaker 1: so it's like as he gained his weight, it he
Speaker 1: just looks rounder, so maybe his head looks bigger. I
Speaker 1: think he goes pretty hard, it would seem based on.
Speaker 2: It goes hard on the streets, on anything having to
Speaker 2: do any any publicity he did for Roadhouse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just go what's going on in America? He's
Speaker 1: got a rattle in it. It's got a bit of
Speaker 1: a rattle in it. Doesn't it feel like I got
Speaker 1: down mechanic? All right, those are things that are happening
Speaker 1: on this Monday, Saint Patrick's Day morning. We are back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 2: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 2: get your vaccines while he still can, get your flu shot,
Speaker 2: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 2: to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Bite, Bite,
