Speaker 1: You think he's gonna drop out. You think he'll drop out.
Speaker 2: There's no way, there's no way he'll drop out. A
Speaker 2: career politician like that, that's all he knows, like that.
Speaker 1: I think. But you know, maybe someone's like, you know,
Speaker 1: think about always laying down Joe. You can think he
Speaker 1: will drop out.
Speaker 3: But but and I also think the stephanopolism is such bullshit.
Speaker 3: No one pays attention to that. He's he's if if
Speaker 3: he doesn't drop out, he will lose. And this will
Speaker 3: be the fun and I'm not looking forward to it,
Speaker 3: but it will be the implosion of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: Actually I would be looking forward to that, but not
Speaker 3: a second Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, it's my god.
Speaker 4: It's it'd be over like.
Speaker 3: But he's doing the Stephanopolis interview to appease all the Centrists,
Speaker 3: all the ones who are like, you should drop out,
Speaker 3: all the pod save guys. He that's why he would
Speaker 3: do it. The question is what is Obama saying right
Speaker 3: now but.

Speaker 3: a while, like Blake was so great and then you
Speaker 3: just mentioned me, like it just goes so great, and then.
Speaker 1: Likewise, yeah, who's Burner is this? I love it? That's great.
Speaker 1: I think that works, Blake. Like I said, I was,
Speaker 1: I texted you over the weekend because I was as
Speaker 1: I was scrolling Reddit, which is detrimental to my health.
Speaker 1: I did see your beautiful face pop up where you're like,
Speaker 1: I just saw the craziest Titanic themed bathroom, and I
Speaker 1: love the comments, mostly people screaming at you for not
Speaker 1: knowing what Long Island City was. I didn't either. I
Speaker 1: just parse that through the comments and also shout out
Speaker 1: on site gang because there were a few people who're like, dude,
Speaker 1: that's Blake Wexler, but fucking Blake Wexler and other people
Speaker 1: are like, dude, he's on the Daily Guess a lot
Speaker 1: and he's a comedian. Andy fantastic. We all know this
Speaker 1: was that. How how was that for you? For your
Speaker 1: light Reddit moment? It was, Uh, it's overdue.
Speaker 2: It's great that it's not something you know, that I
Speaker 2: put effort into, like my stand up comedy or anything
Speaker 2: that I can monetize it.
Speaker 1: Anyway other than that, Yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 4: No, it was you hit it with a checkout my
Speaker 4: album afterwards.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I don't know the rules.
Speaker 2: Like, so Reddit doesn't really like when you talk about yourself, right,
Speaker 2: Like don't they not like when you promote your suffer?
Speaker 1: Is that okay? That's unless you're humiliating yourself. No, Like
Speaker 1: you can't just pop into like a wraps like Subred
Speaker 1: and be like, hey man, check out my mixtape.
Speaker 6: Like no, oh interesting, the moods will take that down.
Speaker 6: I wish I did so answer your question. I did it,
Speaker 6: but people have been following from it. It's one of
Speaker 6: these funny things where like I did so. It was
Speaker 6: months ago. I went into this bar and like had
Speaker 6: lunch and then like had to go to the bathroom
Speaker 6: and walk downstairs, and it was the most like ornate
Speaker 6: in depth, like expensive like and also there was no
Speaker 6: warning that it was a Titanic themed bathroom. Dion was
Speaker 6: blasting like it was.
Speaker 3: It was crazy, yeah, and the restaurant was not like
Speaker 3: seemed like the Titanic.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent correct. There was no indication and that
Speaker 2: there was anything down there was.
Speaker 3: This Did the submersible make it to the bathroom because
Speaker 3: I really liked the idea that there was like on
Speaker 3: a separate like like the urinals, the submersible and there's
Speaker 3: like five billionaires dead inside.
Speaker 2: That would that would be fantastic. And I think if
Speaker 2: they add an addition on which they might be able
Speaker 2: to do now because of all the foot traffic that
Speaker 2: video is going to drive in, they should add the submersible.
Speaker 2: I think that's just the natural maybe in the basement,
Speaker 2: like just bringing it even lower.
Speaker 4: But I interrupted you, But yeah, so it was fucking
Speaker 4: sorry wild, great, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was wild.
Speaker 2: It's a it was, I would say, excellent, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Here's here's the view of the bathroom of going in
Speaker 1: the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Okay, normal, wait, oh oh wow.
Speaker 1: Black light Jack and rose Celine Dion some kind of
Speaker 1: sword in the stone.
Speaker 4: But someone has to tell Caitlyn Durante about this immediately.
Speaker 2: I believe Caitlyn stumbled across this outside of our friendship,
Speaker 2: which has been my like my favorite thing is people
Speaker 2: seeing it, not because I didn't see this, yeah exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but no, Caitlyn, Caitlyn saw it. Hello to Caitlin. Paul
Speaker 2: If Tompkins became very into this video as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like just all comedy people that I know come from it,
Speaker 2: from it. Yeah, So I'm going to write the sequel
Speaker 2: Titanic Too, and got it. Yeah, I can't talk too
Speaker 2: much about it, but they they found it and a
Speaker 2: tugboat is this it's animated. It's an animated Pixar there.
Speaker 2: I think there is an actually, there is an animated
Speaker 2: Titanic too.
Speaker 4: I think, I mean Titanic Too. Is what happens to Rose?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know the interim period?
Speaker 1: Yeah you think she do? You think she would become
Speaker 1: like a drug addict from like just like the trauma
Speaker 1: of it all? I would.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think she had a very long story
Speaker 3: to him. You saw that old woman's face. She's seen
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 1: She was twenty three when we catch up with her
Speaker 1: in that scene, I think, and she doesn't shut up
Speaker 1: about it. It's everything she oxid out. It is Titanic this,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm pretty sure she's lying. The dates
Speaker 1: don't add up.
Speaker 7: MA.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Blake, we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: even better. First, we're gonna give a let's view of
Speaker 1: what we're gonna talk about. Joe Biden is still in folks.
Speaker 1: No wait, he's fucking dropping out. No wait, what are
Speaker 1: we fucking doing? That's kind of the vibes right now
Speaker 1: in the DNC. So we'll just check in there to
Speaker 1: see how that sort of problem solving issue is going that,
Speaker 1: you know. RFK Junior also having a pretty normal one too.
Speaker 1: This Vanity therapiece came out and it's full of some
Speaker 1: wild shit. So we'll touch on a few of those things.
Speaker 1: And then I think we are, you know, I think
Speaker 1: maybe negligent in our duties in talking about the shared
Speaker 1: consciousness of America and the Internet, because we have not
Speaker 1: spoken about the Hawktol Girl, and it's now time we
Speaker 1: just catch up with the Hawk Toool girl. See what
Speaker 1: where she's at, where she's headed, where she thinks she's headed,
Speaker 1: and where we think she may be headed or not
Speaker 1: headed at all. That and plenty of other stories. But first,
Speaker 1: Blake Wexler, we gotta ask you what's on from your
Speaker 1: search history. That's revealing about who you are, what you're
Speaker 1: into right now. Search history came.
Speaker 2: Very recently Mark Cavendish, who is a bicyclist and he
Speaker 2: is I think thirty nine, so like Tour de France,
Speaker 2: like very like that's old.
Speaker 1: And it is that's old for true differents, I believe.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think almost anything almost is like lebron
Speaker 1: still in the game, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So yeah Lebron So yeah, I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: Brownie are you are you on team Bronnie? Like yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have to do this right now, Okay, don't
Speaker 1: have any Yeah, it will bit veright past it.
Speaker 2: So so Mark Cavendish thirty nine, this is like his
Speaker 2: last He's overcome a ton of like I'm learning, like
Speaker 2: I watched one of those documentaries in Netflix says, where
Speaker 2: they just take an obscure sport and make it into
Speaker 2: the most interesting thing in the entire world. So they
Speaker 2: did it with like f one you know, which in
Speaker 2: America is you know, obscure. They've done it with like
Speaker 2: the golf, tennis, now like this one now cycling sprinting.
Speaker 2: They're doing a sprinting one, not just running sprinting. Yeah, cool,
Speaker 2: they're really cool. But they got golf. There's no way
Speaker 2: they got me into golf. A golf one i'd be
Speaker 2: so I think i'd.
Speaker 1: Be a met like whatever, y'all, Like I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck about golf.
Speaker 2: There's one likable person, one person you like, and he's
Speaker 2: not even good at it golf, which is him.
Speaker 1: Wait, so what's interesting about Cavendish?
Speaker 2: So he overcame like a bunch of obstacles where first
Speaker 2: like you got to cheer for the older guy. It's
Speaker 2: like his last time, it was supposed to be last year,
Speaker 2: and he's won the most stages, which I believe Tour
Speaker 2: de France is like whoever wins the overall thing, like
Speaker 2: who has the best time overall. But then there's also
Speaker 2: like almost like mini games if you will, like throughout it,
Speaker 2: so you can win these little games. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 2: won the most stages, so little games because he's never
Speaker 2: won the whole thing. But like he's very fast and
Speaker 2: he keeps getting hurt. Like there's a great documentary on him.
Speaker 2: I forget what it's called, but it's worth watching. Like
Speaker 2: he's struggled with like mental health issues, like you know,
Speaker 2: it's like hit his head in these awful accidents and
Speaker 2: then you see like the toll it took on his
Speaker 2: family and then he comes back. It's it's he seems
Speaker 2: like a great dad and it's anyway, he finally broke
Speaker 2: the record like this year, because he was going to
Speaker 2: try to do it last year, but he broke his
Speaker 2: collarbone and like a crash and then he just broke it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like this this week, so on on July third.
Speaker 1: Again broke it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens often. So sorry is this before after
Speaker 3: he's before we haven't done the Tour de France yet, so.
Speaker 2: The Tour de France is happening now. So now he
Speaker 2: just did it like today where he just broke the record.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just.
Speaker 2: Broke I was like, he broke his collarbone last year
Speaker 2: because he couldn't break the record, then came back, did
Speaker 2: not break his collarbone, knock on wood, but broke the record.
Speaker 2: The collarbone of sports are records. So in a way, yeah,
Speaker 2: we were all right, it's all Clavial's from here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I looked him up just to see what the
Speaker 2: deal was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at thirty nine, you can do anything.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yes, but not a year later I had
Speaker 1: a baby. Yeah, hey, amazing. Shout out to the body.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, shout out, that's awesome. What's
Speaker 1: anything is underrated? Underrated? Your EI guarding all over your screen?
Speaker 1: Do you have like a whole manifestover it? notWe You're like, yeah, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's rare. I write on my screen. I told
Speaker 1: you don't do that. It's bad for it. But I
Speaker 1: don't respect your opinions, so I don't listen to you,
Speaker 1: and I don't respect yours either. That's why we're friends. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's why I love you.
Speaker 2: So I shopping for cars exclusively through email is underrated.
Speaker 2: Where I'm getting a new car and my old car
Speaker 2: lease is done, I'm like, I should stop leasing and
Speaker 2: actually invest in a car. It's probably the worse time
Speaker 2: to do that in history, but it's any worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I always feel I speak for a living, but
Speaker 2: when and like improvise and go back and forth. But
Speaker 2: when I am in a car dealership, I want a
Speaker 2: people please. So I had issues negotiating. Yeah, you're like,
Speaker 2: I should go higher on the monthly payment.
Speaker 1: Probably I do want, like to have.
Speaker 3: I got a third job. Yeah, I can afford this.
Speaker 3: I don't want want to lose out of your commission.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the clear quat sounds good. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We can do it a couple of times if that
Speaker 1: helps you out, for sure. I want to feel extended warranties,
Speaker 1: whatever you want, like extend it through. Your tactic against
Speaker 1: your urge to people please is to just correspond through emails.
Speaker 1: That way, you're not feeling the pressure of a human
Speaker 1: being with you know, bunny eyes looking into you being
Speaker 1: like you can, I can.
Speaker 3: That's my Landlord's like that, Like if I talk to
Speaker 3: if she emails off like stern ooh, and then in
Speaker 3: person she's like, I'm so so sorry.
Speaker 4: I just have to be here all the time and
Speaker 4: tell you not to leave things on the.
Speaker 3: Lawn even though it's a fucking lawn and you rent
Speaker 3: the fucking house.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's really fun.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm Chinese, so I'm like, I'm getting a deal.
Speaker 3: I will try to talk it down. I will never
Speaker 3: forget no problem, No, not the first price.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I will talk it down in
Speaker 2: the slowest way where their whole thing is to like
Speaker 2: extend the process as long as possible to make you quit.
Speaker 2: And then my people pleasing thing is I'll be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I might do that, and then
Speaker 2: I'll be.
Speaker 1: Like, Blake, don't do that, and I'll be.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, actually I want to do this thing that
Speaker 2: I really want to do for myself and not so
Speaker 2: the whole thing takes ten times as long, like because
Speaker 2: it's it's a nightmare. So I'll eventually get what I want,
Speaker 2: but it's terrible for everybody.
Speaker 1: So with email, it's still working on that Wexler guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been seven months. He won't go.
Speaker 2: He keeps saying he's apologizing. It's all apologizing.
Speaker 1: He's waiting for Happy Honda Days to kick in the
Speaker 1: and he's shopping for a full word. I don't understand why. Well,
Speaker 1: let's see what happy Honda days. I mean. I think
Speaker 1: the Lexus December to Remember event is probably going to
Speaker 1: help me out.
Speaker 4: Don't on the Toyota than.
Speaker 1: Oh for you. For me, it's December to Remember because like,
Speaker 1: as a kid whose parents have never had Alexis or anything,
Speaker 1: like that. I was always like like the white people
Speaker 1: in the Lexus commercials on top like that image because
Speaker 1: like you know, it's like an impossible home. It was
Speaker 1: like snow. It was like a white Christmas and like
Speaker 1: people with like beautiful cashmeir sweaters come out and like
Speaker 1: like they're covering their eyes and then they open and
Speaker 1: like I gotta do Lexus with a bow on top,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have never seen a fucking holiday
Speaker 1: this happy in my life experiences. So I think that's
Speaker 1: like my first hit of drugs that I keep chasing.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maseratis are hard to find too, so that's
Speaker 2: why I've been doing it with emails easier for them.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good, good for you. I told you. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's all about the Mazi. What's something you think is overrated? Overrated?
Speaker 2: Drinking on an airplane where I've been doing this show
Speaker 2: for so long that this was an underrated for me,
Speaker 2: I think a few years ago and now that I've
Speaker 2: aged into my mid thirties, I'm renegging on that because
Speaker 2: I used to be, Oh, it's like time travel, it's great,
Speaker 2: but now it is you get more to hydrated on
Speaker 2: It's like time travel, it's like, oh, you're blacking out
Speaker 2: on it, and they've gotten the hollering that they'll do now.
Speaker 2: But no, it's it really is. First of all, you
Speaker 2: get to hydrated more ye. Also you do have to
Speaker 2: like it just messes up the following day. And also
Speaker 2: I like to drink on a cadence, you know where
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I want to retain whatever level of
Speaker 2: buzz that I have, but too drunk maintaining your bus, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: but not dipping into tiredville. And you know, these as
Speaker 2: Francesca referred to them, stewards do coke.
Speaker 4: I mean once, once you get older, it's you basically
Speaker 4: just swallow.
Speaker 1: I will just do coke. People do cocaine so they
Speaker 1: can drink at us after a certain age I noticed,
Speaker 1: so they're like, dude, I had like three drinks. Dude,
Speaker 1: I think I'll go to bed, like just do a
Speaker 1: butt man and just fucking come right.
Speaker 4: But all right, all right man, yeah, I mean how much.
Speaker 1: My weekend with my kids tomorrow? Fuck? I don't actually,
Speaker 1: and you're like, dude, this is way too much.
Speaker 2: By the way, my underrated was actually doing cocaine on planes.
Speaker 2: I think that that's fine. I'm just talking about Yeah,
Speaker 2: just in your seat, your mind in the middle, man
Speaker 2: in the middle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're in the middle, you.
Speaker 1: Get to do a bump.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And as hey, man, you guys, you got some keys
Speaker 1: on you dude, like said keys or like a parliament.
Speaker 2: I left my security but no, yeah, I actually speaking
Speaker 2: of drinking on planes. I had a friend once drink
Speaker 2: on a plane for like on his way home. Forgot
Speaker 2: that he drove to the airport for to keep costs down,
Speaker 2: so then had to uber back to his home and
Speaker 2: then uber back to the airport the next day to
Speaker 2: get his car because a moron, but not irresponsible exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. People who don't drop drive, even if they make
Speaker 1: their lives infinitely more complicated. Thank you out there drinking
Speaker 1: and driving. It's bad according to law enforcement. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back to
Speaker 1: talk about Joe Biden, and we're back. The rumors and
Speaker 1: whispers continue to swirl around Biden's decision regarding the future
Speaker 1: of his campaign. Who's it gonna be. Is it gonna
Speaker 1: be Gretchen, Is it gonna be Gavin? Is it gonna
Speaker 1: be Kamala? Is it gonna be JB. Pritzker. Well, JB.
Speaker 1: Pritzker of Illinois had been there's been one of the
Speaker 1: names that people were like floating around, and he took
Speaker 1: time to tow the party line and shoot down any
Speaker 1: doubts people may have about the president when he was asked, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like a lot of the polls show that
Speaker 1: most Americans don't want Joe Biden to run. Are they wrong?
Speaker 1: Or what's going on? So here was JB. Pritzker's answer
Speaker 1: to what do we do? Well.
Speaker 7: I think that that's why President Biden needs to communicate more.
Speaker 7: We haven't heard a lot from him since the debate,
Speaker 7: and that's why the polls look as they do. I
Speaker 7: think that when you come off of bad debate, you
Speaker 7: need to remind people why you're the right.
Speaker 1: Guy to elect.
Speaker 7: And I know that Joe Biden will do that over
Speaker 7: the next couple of weeks at least I expect him to.
Speaker 7: He'll make a different decision, and I think that's again,
Speaker 7: this is a healthy conversation for us all to be having,
Speaker 7: and I think that the president needs to communicate to
Speaker 7: everybody once again why he's the right guy.
Speaker 1: He keeps doing that thing where like he's clearly been
Speaker 1: like I keep telling these motherfuckers because he said communicate
Speaker 1: like four times, like if he communicates to the people,
Speaker 1: that why he's actually the right guy that might help.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know, he may he's kind
Speaker 1: of like you know, but he may not. But I'm
Speaker 1: not going to cast his persons, you know, out loud
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 4: I think this is the problem.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't disagree with Pritzker here, but the
Speaker 3: problem that we're in is because Biden tried to communicate
Speaker 3: with the people, I mean, and failed miserably time and
Speaker 3: time again.
Speaker 8: It's it was his makeup, right, it was the high line.
Speaker 4: It was it was you know what.
Speaker 3: It was also like I know what Biden was trying
Speaker 3: to do, which was actually winno for the moderators and
Speaker 3: speak to them, because they that's the polite thing to do.
Speaker 3: You're in a room with them. But it's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's a debate. You're supposed to talk to all of
Speaker 3: the Americans watching you and a lot of people abroad sadly,
Speaker 3: and and so that's what he was doing. It's the
Speaker 3: same thing with the parags troopers, Like I was just
Speaker 3: trying to be nice. Yeah, but you looked off like
Speaker 3: you yeah, you know, But I honestly like, there's a
Speaker 3: reason he's not been doing interviews, and I don't think
Speaker 3: that going and doing as many interviews as he can
Speaker 3: and getting in front of the American people. Yo, we've
Speaker 3: seen them. They're still not good. If you can even
Speaker 3: make it through them. The reason that people even made
Speaker 3: it through this one is because it was the fing debate, right,
Speaker 3: and it was a big moment. So it's just yes,
Speaker 3: but of course, sorry, I'm going on. But the fact is,
Speaker 3: if you want to potentially be considered as a candidate,
Speaker 3: you have to.
Speaker 4: Number one, be loyal, right.
Speaker 3: You have to say Biden's been great, everything's fine, right,
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't be I wouldn't be opposed to that.
Speaker 1: I mean, but if he decides something, obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like we see y'all, we see y'all. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're all of y'all rub in your fucking myths right
Speaker 1: now trying to figure out who this thing's gonna fall
Speaker 1: to if it does. But even though he's like saying
Speaker 1: if he could stay in the race and when this thing,
Speaker 1: we also have reporting from the New York Times that
Speaker 1: says Biden confided in a close ally that he was
Speaker 1: actually considering his fate. As they reported, Biden knows he
Speaker 1: must perform well in his Friday interview with George Stephanopolis
Speaker 1: of ABC News, as well as during campaign stops and
Speaker 1: Slovania and Wisconsin. Quote, he knows if he has two
Speaker 1: more events like that the debate, we're in a different
Speaker 1: place by the end of the weekend. And this is
Speaker 1: the ally referring to mister Biden's like I said, whatever
Speaker 1: performance in the debate, use whatever adjective descriptor you want
Speaker 1: to that. The White House immediately shot this story down,
Speaker 1: but sources close to Biden have said the fact that
Speaker 1: he's even considering this out loud is basically tantamount to
Speaker 1: actually following through on it. So we will see. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think, regardless of what happens, I think democratic operatives
Speaker 1: and the people in the DNC need to get real
Speaker 1: about what's going on. Like, yes, Biden appears feeble, and
Speaker 1: that's not great for the optics. But the issue here
Speaker 1: is that part of what makes Biden quote old, is
Speaker 1: that his ideas are so stale and entrenched in the
Speaker 1: status quot it's not obviously he's physically old, but what
Speaker 1: he stands for too, the version of America he stands
Speaker 1: for is also old. So I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of oldness compounding when we talk about Joe Biden outside
Speaker 1: of his physical appearance, and if the platform of the
Speaker 1: party like remains the same, or the thrust of this
Speaker 1: campaign remains the same, to kind of sit on your
Speaker 1: hands on a number of issues that are existential threats
Speaker 1: to many people, not just here but also abroad, all
Speaker 1: you're doing is just like swapping out a mannequin in
Speaker 1: a shop window and not changing anything. You're like, well,
Speaker 1: oh man, this mannequin's kind of all sun bleached and
Speaker 1: the clothes look all old. Put the new one in.
Speaker 1: What are we selling here, just the same stuff? Just
Speaker 1: put a new mannequin in the window and hopefully that
Speaker 1: will solve it. Rather than again, I think going after
Speaker 1: the things that, especially for younger people, make Biden up
Speaker 1: here quote old like there's not a vision of like
Speaker 1: a future that anyone can get invested in, especially when
Speaker 1: all you do is pound the table screaming about the
Speaker 1: end of democracy, and it just feels like the like
Speaker 1: emotional engine is hopelessness. Or like being black tailed, like
Speaker 1: to vote for Biden. It's like, because if you don't,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna die.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's what I mean about dissociating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly, here's I have a question for both of you,
Speaker 2: because you know more about this stuff than I do.
Speaker 2: So it's my understanding that, like I'm like getting this
Speaker 2: is going to be a broad question, but the purely
Speaker 2: being an incumbent gives you X amount of votes in
Speaker 2: terms of like name recognition. So I guess my question
Speaker 2: is bringing in a guy who like the Illinois governor
Speaker 2: that we were just talking about, Like, I don't, Mike,
Speaker 2: My assumption is there's gonna be no one who has
Speaker 2: a name that in this short period of time would
Speaker 2: be able to get more votes than Biden would write like,
Speaker 2: am I like or is that?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: The polling actually is showing that no, and sadly also
Speaker 3: showing that Trump has the best name recognition, and Trump
Speaker 3: might be is pulling stronger than Biden and actually pulling
Speaker 3: stronger than a lot.
Speaker 4: Of the alternatives.
Speaker 3: But you know, I've it's been now almost it's been
Speaker 3: a week basically since this disastrous debate, and I'm someone
Speaker 3: who does not like Kamala Harris's politics. I think she's
Speaker 3: absolutely an opportunist in Craven and very much Selena Myers
Speaker 3: does not actually know why she would ever want to
Speaker 3: be president, but it's got to be Kamala, like, there's
Speaker 3: no to me, there's no other way. She's the fing
Speaker 3: vice president. She was basically picked knowing that possibly Biden
Speaker 3: would be a transitional candidate. And in terms of swapping mannikins,
Speaker 3: I do think it is swapping mannequins. However, there's a
Speaker 3: few differences. She is far younger, she's gen x right.
Speaker 3: I also think she has a shred to the humane
Speaker 3: side when it comes to the handling of the assault
Speaker 3: on Gaza, and you know, just potentially could put some
Speaker 3: of the reins on our greatest ally in the Middle East,
Speaker 3: Israel as Gazin's face imminent starvation right now, literally this
Speaker 3: month is when it is happening. And so I think
Speaker 3: that's huge. And like separately from that, you need fresh blood,
Speaker 3: you need to get people excited about it. The only
Speaker 3: thing that elects Democrats, the only thing is voter turnout.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 3: When voters turn out, Democrats win, right It sadly it's
Speaker 3: not about the politics, right. I mean, you know, obviously
Speaker 3: Democrats could do what is fucking right for them and
Speaker 3: like know, a good thing when it hits them. And look,
Speaker 3: I've said it burning off four more years, let's go.
Speaker 3: Then we transition to AOC you know, DM me later.
Speaker 3: But it's to me, it's just it is. It is
Speaker 3: got it's And the other thing about it, Miles, is
Speaker 3: that Biden has done some good stuff. He's done some
Speaker 3: you know in terms of yes, being able to negotiate
Speaker 3: the price of insulin, which is just incredible that we
Speaker 3: cannot do that, but the government now can.
Speaker 4: He's being litigated for it.
Speaker 3: The student debt relief, the bipart is an infrastructure plan,
Speaker 3: the American Rescue Plan, the Chips Act, We're producing semiconductors here.
Speaker 3: In terms of like Trump is all you know, fucking
Speaker 3: bluster when it comes to China, and Biden actually did
Speaker 3: something that would help the national industry when it comes
Speaker 3: to something that we.
Speaker 4: Need to be competitive in, like there are starting.
Speaker 3: The Climate Core is something that Joe and did that
Speaker 3: young people, specifically the Sunrise movement, wanted so you can
Speaker 3: get jobs now in climate fighting climate change. He's still
Speaker 3: supporting the massive amounts of drilling and oil subsidies that
Speaker 3: we have in this country. But there are things this
Speaker 3: administration has done, going after Google, going after Amazon. The
Speaker 3: FTC is on fire right now protecting consumer rights from monopolies.
Speaker 3: And then the NLRB is doing amazing things protecting labor
Speaker 3: rights that I know we're going to talk about.
Speaker 4: So there are things that have been done. This guy
Speaker 4: is just a shit messenger for it.
Speaker 3: So can you put someone in there who can actually
Speaker 3: sing the praises of some of the good things that
Speaker 3: they have done? That again, Oh my god, I feel
Speaker 3: like I've lost all my lefty cred on by you
Speaker 3: can talk about.
Speaker 1: Figure out what the fuck's gonna happen.
Speaker 9: But yeah, she also looks healthy. Yeah, and it sounds
Speaker 9: very very simple, but she is. Yes, Yeah, she goes
Speaker 9: for brisk walks and can do it in like high eighty.
Speaker 1: Degree weather, you know. Like she she looks more vibrant.
Speaker 2: And I think if you put someone like that next
Speaker 2: to either of those two, like like old people freak
Speaker 2: people out, Like that's the thing, Like that's why like
Speaker 2: people in the United States don't have their old like
Speaker 2: their old grandparents living with them because it's it's.
Speaker 1: Away and yeah, yeah, convalescent homes and things.
Speaker 2: And this is like I'm being silly here, but I
Speaker 2: do mean this is that, like people don't like talk
Speaker 2: about aging, they don't like talking about death. A lot
Speaker 2: of it is because they see an old person and
Speaker 2: they see that you're their own mortality right in front
Speaker 2: of you. And I think even having someone you know,
Speaker 2: like like with life to them, putting her next to
Speaker 2: you know, like Trump, it's it's just someone that will
Speaker 2: not gross people out, you know.
Speaker 3: And I mean we also saw the way she handled
Speaker 3: Brett Kavanaugh and Mike Pence. I mean, she's got actually
Speaker 3: a proven track record of going up against these ghules
Speaker 3: to their faces. She's done it on the national stage
Speaker 3: and she crushed it. So honestly, I would be very
Speaker 3: excited if only to see her debate Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Fuck, even if she loses, just to hear.
Speaker 3: Someone go up against Trump finally and put him in
Speaker 3: his goddamn fucking place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And would that still be enough? Is like, because
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like, even though the performance was terrible,
Speaker 1: it's like the polls aren't really shifting in any meaningful way,
Speaker 1: like aside from people being like yeah, man, he's fucking old.
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a group of people who are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it cannot be Trump. I don't give a fuck what
Speaker 1: you put up there. It could be a it'd be
Speaker 1: a burning tire with a suit on. And then there
Speaker 1: are other people who are like, I would like a
Speaker 1: little bit more to feel hopeful about what this administration
Speaker 1: is because alongside the things that have been good, there's
Speaker 1: also been so much that we're also like, can we
Speaker 1: move past this sort of like imperialism. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not not not with entrench candidates like this,
Speaker 1: but there are definitely as the younger generations are looking
Speaker 1: for a different vision of America, and I think you
Speaker 1: have to tap into that on some level, yeah, without
Speaker 1: just without just being like but fucking Trump, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we get that, man, And well I understand that Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five it could be an absolute reversal on
Speaker 1: everything that we know in terms of governance. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, part of a campaign that you need
Speaker 1: to win is to create some excitement, and you're not
Speaker 1: going to create excitement by just being like we're gonna
Speaker 1: fucking die. Yeah, Like, give me something to fucking you know,
Speaker 1: just like us. I mean, a lot of promises were
Speaker 1: kept and some weren't with Biden's last campaign. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's fine because they're like, that's just the nature of campaigning,
Speaker 1: Like not everyone is going to deliver on every single
Speaker 1: thing they said, especially like Trump don't barely deliver on anything.
Speaker 1: But I think there's just there's a balance here that
Speaker 1: can be struck. And I'm curious to see how they
Speaker 1: all do that, whether it's through trying to make it rain,
Speaker 1: through like social spending, or something to try and get
Speaker 1: people like it's fine. Joe's old, but he sees you like,
Speaker 1: let's get this free childcare or something. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's going to be, but we sit waiting to
Speaker 1: see what will come of this. But yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of back and forth. What about RFK junior? We
Speaker 1: should talk about our junior because something else is for Blake? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I wanted to go on someone I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I wants want to talk about someone that Blake is
Speaker 1: supporting my guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, And I told you that in confidence,
Speaker 2: but go ahead, And you did.
Speaker 4: Say it was mostly because of the brainworm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: I found it relatable I think that, you know, we
Speaker 2: should all who knows just get checked, is really why I'm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, please, yeah, what's that? Like weird? Weird gross like
Speaker 1: ribbon you're wearing. Oh, it's a brain worm. But in
Speaker 1: the legit, I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 3: Like, so, my my baby right now is like a
Speaker 3: really low grade fever, but she's fine slashing daycare. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what she has been doing a lot of drinking from
Speaker 3: the water table that we have that she can play with,
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what if she got like one of
Speaker 3: them brainworms?
Speaker 4: Like what's going on? You know, Like I just see.
Speaker 1: Like a weird meba or maybe she's a baby who's
Speaker 1: just exploring.
Speaker 4: And that's totally what it is.
Speaker 3: But but the RFK brainworm story really was I was like,
Speaker 3: this is funny that I read it. It was like, I'm
Speaker 3: never drinking the water in Thailand or wherever the fuck?
Speaker 1: He was sure and or maybe it was a ruse
Speaker 1: because he was in Look, we'll get to the brain worm.
Speaker 1: But this recent Vanity Fair article that just came out
Speaker 1: contains like allegations from like a former RFK nanny in
Speaker 1: which she accuses RFK of sexually assaulting her in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight at the family's home and he went on
Speaker 1: the Breaking Points podcast like to and it was it
Speaker 1: was mentioned, and this was his response in terms of
Speaker 1: this allegation being brought up.
Speaker 10: I am not a church boy. I am not running
Speaker 10: like that. I said in my I had a very
Speaker 10: very rambunctious youth. I said in my announcement speech that
Speaker 10: I have If I have so many skeletons in my
Speaker 10: closet that have if they could all vote, I could
Speaker 10: run for a gig of the world. So, you know,
Speaker 10: the this vanity Fair is recycling thirty year old stories
Speaker 10: and I'm you know, going to comment on the details
Speaker 10: of any of them. But it's you know, I.
Speaker 1: Am you're talking there about the nanny situation. I mean
Speaker 1: I do have to ask her. I mean, you're denying
Speaker 1: it or not.
Speaker 10: I'm not going to comment on it, all right, Well.
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking pretty much did not deny it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my God talked about this thirty years ago. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about it anybody.
Speaker 3: I have skeletons in my closet and I'm not a
Speaker 3: church many. I just feel like I always think about this.
Speaker 3: I'm like, if I ever ran for office. I couldn't
Speaker 3: because you'd like find some old podcasts where I'm like, yes,
Speaker 3: we should violently overthrow the government, you know, and we
Speaker 3: should install like an Arco communist little like you know,
Speaker 3: Soviettes in every community or whatever, like like that's the
Speaker 3: kind of shit that I would get. But I have
Speaker 3: not sexually assaulted anyone like me. The ship that is
Speaker 3: in some mostly men's like closets, powerful dude's closets is
Speaker 3: just there's always a sexual assault.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's it's like, yeah, you without fail, you
Speaker 1: already have. Like if you took the three candidates, they
Speaker 1: all have allegations of assaulting Amy.
Speaker 2: The response is so repulsive because what they asked it
Speaker 2: is like, oh, did you commit sexual assault? And what
Speaker 2: he said, yes, I did, and so many more horrible
Speaker 2: things than that. And I don't need to talk about
Speaker 2: all of them. We don't have enough time.
Speaker 1: These are old stories. Everyone knows I do terrible things.
Speaker 3: So ninety eight call, they want your sexual out of
Speaker 3: allegation bag.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's very straight, I mean and I and
Speaker 1: he's probably doing that, like he sees what Trump is
Speaker 1: getting away with, and he's just sort of running that
Speaker 1: playbook of just being like, look, man, I was, I'm
Speaker 1: not a fucking angel, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: now they're talking about old stuff. Let's just move on
Speaker 1: and trying to just keep it moving. But it looks
Speaker 1: a little bit differently when you come from this dynastic
Speaker 1: family and you're not like sort of a known media
Speaker 1: creature like Trump is. Anyway, that same article, it talks
Speaker 1: about how like last year he sent a picture to
Speaker 1: a friend of himself to protect to take a bite
Speaker 1: out of a barbecued dog. We don't know what this was.
Speaker 1: So Kennedy texted his friend who was traveling to Asia.
Speaker 1: This is from the Vanity Fair article quote that he
Speaker 1: might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that served dog on
Speaker 1: the menu, suggesting Kennedy had sampled dog. The photo was
Speaker 1: taken in twenty ten, according to the Digital Files metadata,
Speaker 1: the same year he was diagnosed with a dead tape
Speaker 1: worm in his brain. When this article first published, Vanity
Speaker 1: Fair had asked a veterinarian to identify the animal and
Speaker 1: they said that a telltale sign of it being a
Speaker 1: canine was this floating rib that it had, but they
Speaker 1: removed it after RFK claimed it was actually a goat.
Speaker 1: And I think other people pointed out that, like they
Speaker 1: may have very similar rib council. It's not really conclusive
Speaker 1: as maybe the article had initially suggested. But he also
Speaker 1: again he was on Chris Cuomo Show and he was
Speaker 1: asked about this barbecued dog photo. And this was his
Speaker 1: answer in terms of being like Chris Clomeo was like,
Speaker 1: could you believe it? Man, we're both here semi canceled. Dudes,
Speaker 1: you're running for president. I'm asking you about a barbecue dog.
Speaker 1: Any comment on that? And then this is RFK Junior's answer.
Speaker 10: You know, I am a very adventurous eater at Chris,
Speaker 10: I think you know about that. That about me. I'll
Speaker 10: eat virtually anything. There's two things I wouldn't eat, well three,
Speaker 10: I wouldn't need a human. I wouldn't eat a monkey,
Speaker 10: and I wouldn't need a dog. I think I need
Speaker 10: anything else, But you need a cat?
Speaker 1: Do you eat? Ass? Sir? No comment myself to do
Speaker 1: those things.
Speaker 10: So it is a goat and and you are what
Speaker 10: you eat the goat.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, mess, we got in the building, got
Speaker 1: the fucking goat out here, So you know this is.
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like a goat, look like a joke
Speaker 4: he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was I mean, demand a rip count. Sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Wow, there's a hanging chat on that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know whether it's a dog
Speaker 1: or not. But there there is an interesting other quote
Speaker 1: about this because some of his family members are also
Speaker 1: saying that like his brain fog that he like claims
Speaker 1: came from a dead tape for him, They're more like
Speaker 1: it might have more to do with his like fourteen
Speaker 1: years of being a heroin user, which could also alter
Speaker 1: the brain a bit.
Speaker 4: Fourteen years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this this article is pretty wild because I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy, like it was pretty much right after he
Speaker 1: you know, his dad was murdered, right and like just
Speaker 1: got on drugs for yeah, until he was like in
Speaker 1: his late twenties.
Speaker 4: Basically, Oh shit, I had no idea it was that
Speaker 4: long or I mean, that's a pretty long time to
Speaker 4: like survive as a heroin user.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, to be and you know they're saying like
Speaker 1: he was shooting up speedballs in college and stuff. It's Jesus,
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. But anyway, this, yeah, for
Speaker 1: a guy who's dad was killed and then set you
Speaker 1: off on a chain of other events.
Speaker 4: We should just give him the presidency.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 4: I feel like he's been through a lot, you know Ai.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that feels like one of those like articles
Speaker 1: are like, you know, poor kid is named president of
Speaker 1: school because he's just been through a lot, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I still think or like that kid who got to
Speaker 3: be Batman for a day in San Francisco.
Speaker 4: It's like it's a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of a make aware situation. I still am
Speaker 3: scared that Donald Trump is going to pick RFK as
Speaker 3: his running mate, and I know there's been an offer,
Speaker 3: and Kennedy's like, never fuck you, and Trump's like, I
Speaker 3: don't even want you anyway, And how you didn't qualify
Speaker 3: for the debate, which, by the way, RFK Junior could
Speaker 3: potentially qualify for the September debate, which would be if
Speaker 3: it's still.
Speaker 4: Biden, if it's Harris. I'd love to.
Speaker 3: See this sort of like double one of those nerd things,
Speaker 3: the double lightsaber situation happening there.
Speaker 1: But wait, double what do you mean like Darth Maul his.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, like her being I don't if Francesca didn't
Speaker 2: know light double lightsaber, he's not going to know Darth mall.
Speaker 4: But that I thought that Ray also has two lightsabers, some.
Speaker 1: One of them, one of the good ones has it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, but whatever the point is, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3: So but but I do think Trump could possibly choose
Speaker 3: him because you can't lose like Trump Kennedy.
Speaker 1: You know, that's just like, yeah, that's wild. The dumb
Speaker 1: dums are like, you want to talk about name recognition,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be like, I mean, Kennedy, that can't be
Speaker 1: that bad. But yeah, anyway, November, take your time, everyone
Speaker 1: takes your time. Just just can I live infinitely in
Speaker 1: this terrible e liminal space forever? Okay, let's take another break,
Speaker 1: let's drink some water, and let's all check for tapeworms
Speaker 1: and you will come right back and we're back. And
Speaker 1: like I said, for the last two weeks, the Internet
Speaker 1: has been absolutely well, not the Internet, A very specific
Speaker 1: corner of the Internet has been enthralled with the emergence
Speaker 1: of twenty one year old Tennessee and Haley Haktua. Welch
Speaker 1: for people who don't know, and I'm sorry for those
Speaker 1: that do, allow me to play this clip that allowed
Speaker 1: for this social media ascension. She was on one of
Speaker 1: those like TikTok, sort of like streamer channels where you're
Speaker 1: doing street interviews. And she was asked about, you know,
Speaker 1: what's a move to drive the men wild? And here
Speaker 1: is her answer, what's one move in bit that makes
Speaker 1: a man go crazy? Every time?
Speaker 8: Oh, you gotta give him that hawk dude spent on that.
Speaker 1: Night and that literally, just that, just that has created
Speaker 1: an explosion of tweets, of memes. If you've been on
Speaker 1: Twitter at all, you've probably seen some form of hawk
Speaker 1: tool or whatever. And again, because the Internet is filled
Speaker 1: with horty men, this is a new a new star
Speaker 1: was born. I'm not sure she is famous to the
Speaker 1: point that my mom would know about her, but she
Speaker 1: is definitely Internet famous at this point, and the industry
Speaker 1: hawks and the pun is intended there are circling to
Speaker 1: figure out how to profit off of her. And she
Speaker 1: recently quit her job and announced she's transitioning to a
Speaker 1: full blown influencer career. Well's quote hasn't said exactly what
Speaker 1: her plans are for the future, but she has signed
Speaker 1: with a management and publicity team. Her new management team
Speaker 1: told me their first priority is to stop any unlicensed merchandise,
Speaker 1: fake social media accounts or other content being made without
Speaker 1: her permission. She also plans to launch her own website
Speaker 1: and merchandise line later this week. Internet fame isn't always
Speaker 1: the springboard to an entire career in media, as listeners
Speaker 1: of Jamie Loftie's new show Sixteenth Minute will definitely know,
Speaker 1: and many observers of the Internet, like the Damn Daniel guys.
Speaker 1: Sure they got free shoes for life, but it ended there.
Speaker 1: They didn't really do much after that. Alex from Target
Speaker 1: remember him, He tried having a career but then essentially
Speaker 1: quit because it said it wasn't for him, and he
Speaker 1: now has like a fulfilling life working at ups just
Speaker 1: like doing like completely out of the spotlight. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: this is an interesting launch point from her. I'm really
Speaker 1: hard pressed to see how this goes beyond like a
Speaker 1: couple coffee mugs and like a lot of openers and merchandise,
Speaker 1: because the whole thing is just based off of talking
Speaker 1: about a flemy filatione.
Speaker 3: I think it is based off her Southern accent. I
Speaker 3: think that that Tolang is objectively adorable, and if she
Speaker 3: has anything in her brain, like.
Speaker 4: If she's just like like.
Speaker 3: Minimally smart, which I guess she might be because she
Speaker 3: had a straight up answer to that question rather than
Speaker 3: be like I don't know, right, which is probably what
Speaker 3: I would say, and also ain't not gonna fucking tell you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then I don't know if you would be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to do a man on the street interview
Speaker 1: with me right now? Sure?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What's one move in bed?
Speaker 3: What I'm like, I'm like, there was a vibe there,
Speaker 3: she had a vibe, and like, why not?
Speaker 4: I think there's part of me that it's like, you
Speaker 4: have to look.
Speaker 3: At this from not the creepy old man internet perspective,
Speaker 3: which is this is a young woman embracing her sexuality
Speaker 3: who knows who she is? Like that is like what
Speaker 3: I am trying the feminist in me is trying to like.
Speaker 3: But also the feminist in me is like, what are
Speaker 3: you talking about? And you're hawking Loogie's on Dues Dix, Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's not my move?
Speaker 1: What is this? Yeah? Right? And hey, look if that's
Speaker 1: what you get down with, no, I'm glad you found somebody.
Speaker 1: And there there's your queen. But yeah, it did they
Speaker 1: refer to her. I think her new management company referred
Speaker 1: to her as the female THEO Vaughn, which is how
Speaker 1: I've been referring to myself for the past few years.
Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily like that they took that from
Speaker 1: my grasp, but I think it is so like it
Speaker 1: is a tight rope to watch, like to walk to
Speaker 1: your point Francesca, where it was like, okay, do we
Speaker 1: want her to like embrace she embracing her sexuality and
Speaker 1: then like the old gross Man thing is just so
Speaker 1: like omnipresent there where it's like it's.
Speaker 3: All right, I mean she can immediately launch some sort
Speaker 3: of only fans in account.
Speaker 1: Right, it's like the very like lowest common denominator he
Speaker 1: answer to what's next for Haktula?
Speaker 2: Because then it then like do you put her on
Speaker 2: like a reality show? Does she do like you know,
Speaker 2: personal appearances that you can now charge like a shitload
Speaker 2: of money for. So yeah, it's it's one of those
Speaker 2: like I'm not it's hard to now sound like you know,
Speaker 2: like conservative old man where I'm like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: she quit her job, so let's make sure that she
Speaker 2: is a future and whatever she's doing and you know
Speaker 2: what she needs to get like be like I hopefully
Speaker 2: these people are helping her for the long run instead
Speaker 2: of just oh, let's grab as much you know, merchandise
Speaker 2: as possible and then just throw this girl back into
Speaker 2: the world. And she's grown up too, so yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's weird, right.
Speaker 3: This is an interesting point of about her that she
Speaker 3: deleted her social media account six months ago for personal reasons.
Speaker 3: It's creepy seeing your face on another account that don't
Speaker 3: belong to you, So I guess that's before she went
Speaker 3: viral or yeah, even, which is just like again, that
Speaker 3: sounds like something a smart person with you, you know, like
Speaker 3: like that sounds like someone who's aware too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like the one time I share a
Speaker 1: little bit, I went fucking viral, right right, right, right right.
Speaker 1: But I mean she was just recently on a podcast
Speaker 1: and she was also like asked, they like are really
Speaker 1: interesting to just like a fuck Mary kill type game
Speaker 1: is like Hawktua or naw where they were just showing
Speaker 1: her pictures of like old dudes that like asked me
Speaker 1: if she would hook up with them. This is so weird. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this was her being asked directly. They showed her a
Speaker 1: picture and her friend who was also in the video
Speaker 1: a picture of Donald Trump to be like, hey, you're
Speaker 1: gonna hawk toua that.
Speaker 3: This was her answer, Well, Donald Trump, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 10: Uh huh uh.
Speaker 4: It's a no for me.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe Joe Biden couldn't enlist her.
Speaker 1: She's definitely got some some name cred right now. But
Speaker 1: I think at the very least her answer was I'm
Speaker 1: not attracted attracted to that man. And on that same podcast,
Speaker 1: when they're sounding so like what's next, like what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you doing, she said, quote, I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna like do a show and then being on a
Speaker 1: bunch of podcasts and everything in between, end quote. So
Speaker 1: there's a plan. It sounds it sounds like one of
Speaker 1: those things where like, you know, industry people were like,
Speaker 1: we got this whole plan for you, Haley. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get you on these shows. We'rena do some podcasts, man,
Speaker 1: You're gonna fucking love it.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: All right, you're gonna do some ads for GINN. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get you on this internet man, because that's kind
Speaker 1: of your niche. As many people describe kind of what's
Speaker 1: happening in that like barstool sports. Agaye. Yeah, But she
Speaker 1: flourishes in so hey.
Speaker 4: They're gonna chew her up and hotwa her out.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, uh yeah, And producer Victor is saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people and this shouldn't be a surprise.
Speaker 1: A lot of the people who fell in love with
Speaker 1: Hawk to a girl did not like the answer that
Speaker 1: she said. It's a note for me. Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3: Isn't it bad enough? She probably would vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: She also has to want to fuck him.
Speaker 1: Shut up up.
Speaker 3: He is objectively disgusting. It is such a fucking gas
Speaker 3: lighting mind game that anyone wouldever his own goddamn wife
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be in bed with him, Like, shut
Speaker 3: that fuck you already, pushback, Listen.
Speaker 2: I want people to my president. I want everyone to
Speaker 2: fuck my president. That's how I vote. Everyone needs to
Speaker 2: fuck my president. Well who's that's why?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Which president? What do you have? Would you fuck?
Speaker 1: I mean this is an obvious Yeah, sorry President Harding
Speaker 1: whom partying? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Hell yeah.
Speaker 3: I kind of like Van Buren because of all that,
Speaker 3: just the facial hair I'm really into. Also, I like
Speaker 3: I like long hair, even though he didn't have much fun.
Speaker 1: I would pick Andrew Jackson because I hear racists serve
Speaker 1: great in bed. Yeah, that's what. He was a hell
Speaker 1: of a race. He was an absolute monster in this shittles.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hope that this turns that you could
Speaker 1: turn this into a career. But it's just hard. It's
Speaker 1: like weird because it's built on this weird kind of
Speaker 1: pergy foundation. And but I guess that's you know, what
Speaker 1: the best celebrities do. They can start off or something
Speaker 1: you want to forget about in there next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: there are next senator, which may work. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, Hayley, excited to see what you got,
Speaker 1: you know, and excited to.
Speaker 4: Wish I wish were the best.
Speaker 3: I just feel like twenty one is a very brittle age.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, like right, just like just if I
Speaker 1: was you, I mean everything, God, I was twenty one
Speaker 1: in the Year of Our Lord two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: when like the most you could do is like maybe
Speaker 1: have some shit on like MySpace.
Speaker 4: Oh god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if I at the way my brain was swarming
Speaker 1: at the time, and I thought I literally knew every
Speaker 1: single thing there had to be known and no longer
Speaker 1: needed any advice or wisdom from people with experience I
Speaker 1: would I don't know what the fun would have happened
Speaker 1: to me. So yeah, twenty one not the best time
Speaker 1: in terms of being able to assess your situation, your needs,
Speaker 1: or what your future could be to Nashville, Yeah, Nashville,
Speaker 1: Hailey Hawktua. But like we said, we're looking out, We're
Speaker 1: hoping for the best. We're hoping for the best because
