Speaker 2: fucked up shared consciousness. And it is Friday, February twenty eighth.
Speaker 2: It's blackout Friday, where you know, people are encouraged in
Speaker 2: maybe withhold giving the oligarchs your dollars today, because that
Speaker 2: is that is one way we can rest control. They

Speaker 3: I feel like this is it's a way of, you know,
Speaker 3: for the unhoused out there to be like this is
Speaker 3: our day.
Speaker 2: I know in a way that it feels like one
Speaker 2: of those things where because we live in a country
Speaker 2: now where if you deigned to fall asleep outside, people
Speaker 2: would amuse like, hey no lawyer man. Yeah, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: just anyway. So there's a sleepy guy.

Speaker 2: very fake promotional video for Steak that Drake was like
Speaker 2: what's this drone doing looking at my weird betting website?

Speaker 2: And maybe people heard this in the cold open, but
Speaker 2: Jack was out is out obviously that's why you know
Speaker 2: you hear these powerful voices before you. Now, when I
Speaker 2: saw the guests and I said, you know what, I've
Speaker 2: been on a podcast with these two before, and I've
Speaker 2: listened to the podcast they have together, the Frockcast, and
Speaker 2: I look again, you can't check me out on Pod
Speaker 2: Yourself a Gun, which was a Jeopardy fucking clue. I
Speaker 2: caught that earlier this month. Shout out to that wonderful moment.
Speaker 2: But our guest today, fantastic writer film critic. You know
Speaker 2: him as the O G Film Drunk. You might know
Speaker 2: the sub stack, the hashtag content report by Vince Mancini.
Speaker 2: You might know again, Pod Yourself Done, Pod Yourself a Wire?
Speaker 2: And now we are what mad yourself a man? That's
Speaker 2: right talking about I'm guessing mad men. Anyway, welcome to
Speaker 2: the podcast in our thirsty vis mec Yeah, give it
Speaker 2: to her. Jj oh, Vince Ben, so good to see you,
Speaker 2: so good to see, so good to be back.
Speaker 1: I steal all of jos and Clinical's best lines and.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, read with it. He is fine with it.
Speaker 3: He's got a beautiful life and a beautiful wife.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and those are his beautiful That is his
Speaker 2: beautiful wife, and that is.
Speaker 1: It is not his beautiful house. He actually lives with
Speaker 1: his in laws, but otherwise is true.
Speaker 2: How did he get there?
Speaker 4: They let him move in? He lives, dude. Rhetorical questions for.
Speaker 2: Beeople who don't. Okay, so people probably know just most
Speaker 2: of our listeners are familiar with one or either or
Speaker 2: both of you. But pod yourself a gun? I saw
Speaker 2: this like, I caught that shit somewhat live like for
Speaker 2: people posting yeah yeah, and I said, what the fuck
Speaker 2: pod yourself? This was in a Jeopardy clue. Okay, do
Speaker 2: you all know how the like? Now?
Speaker 3: No idea, no idea, but I do know this on Twitter?
Speaker 3: Yeah I do know this. I was so excited by it.
Speaker 3: So the category was TV rewatch podcasts, and ours was
Speaker 3: a question for two hundred and it was essentially like,
Speaker 3: pod yourself a gun is a reference to the theme song
Speaker 3: of this you know HBO TV show, right, And they
Speaker 3: said it was Sopranos and then they repeated it. Ken
Speaker 3: Jennings said it twice, pot yourself a Gun? And I
Speaker 3: was so excited that I watched the episode and all
Speaker 3: of the other four, all of the other four in
Speaker 3: the category where all TV we watch podcasts that are
Speaker 3: hosted by actors who are on the show they're talking
Speaker 3: about and that made me more proud than no.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, I feel like that makes it a great,
Speaker 1: greater honor. I also feel like all of the other
Speaker 1: podcasts are thus fake because, as i'd celebrity podcasts are
Speaker 1: stolen valor.
Speaker 4: That's right, Yes, yes.
Speaker 2: That is true. Yeah, gone.
Speaker 4: I like that if you.
Speaker 3: If you already are famous, you should be. It should
Speaker 3: be illegal for you to podcast. That's what allowed, and
Speaker 3: either you get a TV show or nothing. You can't
Speaker 3: do a podcast. The podcast is the realm of the loser,
Speaker 3: the freak, the more who.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be a who's who exactly, and now
Speaker 2: it's literally a who's who.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's why the Jeopardy clue is that what
Speaker 1: is pod yourself?
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 1: That's what people should be asking because they don't know
Speaker 1: about it, because they don't you know, we don't have
Speaker 1: a promotional.
Speaker 2: I might actually I might be paths with Jamielyn Sigler
Speaker 2: and Robert Eyler a few weeks. Not they're they're not
Speaker 2: gonna be on the show, but we're gonna be at
Speaker 2: a similar event, and I'm just like, dude, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: fucking freak them the funk out what I just pull up.
Speaker 3: If you see Jamilen Siegler be like, uh, hey, you know,
Speaker 3: uh your friend Robert Eyler was on pod yourself a gun?
Speaker 4: What about you? Oh yeah, yeah, how come you haven't
Speaker 4: been on it? And he Med?
Speaker 2: I call her Med too when I pull up, Ye's
Speaker 2: going on med.
Speaker 4: I going on the pod?
Speaker 2: The fuck? Uh Well, anyway, good having you both. Let's
Speaker 2: tell everybody what we're gonna dive into in today's episode. First,
Speaker 2: right wing media and politicians may look they are headed
Speaker 2: for overtime shifts at the consent factory because it's time
Speaker 2: to manufacture fucking consent for all these wacky I don't
Speaker 2: even I don't even know if this shi is austerity anymore.
Speaker 2: This ship is like just next level fuck you chaos
Speaker 2: causing from Doge and the you know, Trump and the like.
Speaker 2: So we'll touch in to see just kind of what
Speaker 2: sort of stupid ideas the right wing media machine propaganda
Speaker 2: machine is trying to seed into their brains, Like no,
Speaker 2: it's totally fine that you have no way to be
Speaker 2: alive anymore. It's actually good. So you know, let's let's
Speaker 2: look at it that medicine is the deep State. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Actually,
Speaker 2: we will now face medicine with Meadow Soprano, So just
Speaker 2: watch episodes of The Sopranos and you know, hopefully you
Speaker 2: will do a lot better. We may also touch on
Speaker 2: the Great Golden Toilet Robbery, which is just now the
Speaker 2: trial is going underway.
Speaker 1: And also that was actually Matt's nickname in high schoolt Yeah.
Speaker 2: And because you know, we were actually just talking about
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos aka sex Luthor, how he thinks he's sexy
Speaker 2: lex Luthor. It is also unfortunately that comes along with
Speaker 2: the passing of Gene Hackman, the original Lex Luthor, who
Speaker 2: was at the moment death is completely shrouded in mystery.
Speaker 2: So this is a podcast, so we will wildly speculate irresponsibly,
Speaker 2: So we will look into what is going on there,
Speaker 2: as well as just checking in with an Oscar front
Speaker 2: runner that somehow doesn't have any US distribution. It's a
Speaker 2: doc Some people are saying, well, there's documentary marks just
Speaker 2: really cooked right now. Other people saying, is it because
Speaker 2: like they're showing a slice of life for Palestinian people
Speaker 2: in the occupied West Bank. Is that Oh it's good,
Speaker 2: but it's but it's nominal. It's an oscar front runner,
Speaker 2: not I no, no, no, no, it's just not an appetite
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about all of that and so much more.
Speaker 2: But first, Vince, what's something from your search history that's
Speaker 2: revealing about.
Speaker 4: Who you are?
Speaker 1: I searched how to fix iPhone charge report? Oh, because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have this problem. But
Speaker 1: the thing's always loose. Makes me crazy. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: drive around in my car, but it's like falling out
Speaker 1: and loose. Yeah, it's loose. It doesn't you can't. The
Speaker 1: thing's always falling out, and it's like the like the
Speaker 1: number one thing in my life that you got.
Speaker 4: You got a bloody iPhone?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened? What happened? You dropped a bunch? Never,
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, that ship is not is in there?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 2: How new is it mine?
Speaker 4: It's loose like a Matt's mom.
Speaker 2: I mean I had my last one for like four years.
Speaker 2: Look like the listeners. I told you we are infusing
Speaker 2: two podcasts and one I know Jack, Jack and I
Speaker 2: usually don't trade insults over the different show.
Speaker 1: Today, Sorry, I got flustered and just it's just like
Speaker 1: my based on that stand, couldn't let it stand.
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you so, what do you do?
Speaker 2: Put a bunch of glue in there? What I am?
Speaker 2: I sprayed?
Speaker 4: No, I don't know what you're supposed to do. That's
Speaker 4: the other thing that you google did, but you didn't
Speaker 4: read the result that you have. None of them were
Speaker 4: good answers. It was like clean it out. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I've already cleaned it out.
Speaker 2: But it's loose. You're out what I'm saying. It's loose.
Speaker 2: It's not dirty, it's fucking dirty.
Speaker 4: There's like but yeah, there's space in there.
Speaker 2: They're moving around, chio integrity is compromised.
Speaker 4: Well, it's older. As things get older, they get looser.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's not that old. It's like a fourteen.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean everything fucking sucks now.
Speaker 4: So everything sucks.
Speaker 1: Number one being that you can't google something and find
Speaker 1: out the answer anymore, right. Number two that you just
Speaker 1: have to like buy different products from China and hope
Speaker 1: one of them works, right, because like you know, you
Speaker 1: buy the iPhone plugs, some of them work, some of
Speaker 1: them don't.
Speaker 4: You don't really know what one and it works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you just got to test it out see
Speaker 1: which one actually works here?
Speaker 2: Right right?
Speaker 4: Right? Oh shit.
Speaker 1: That's one thing you should know about me is that
Speaker 1: I complain about everything. Like I'm seventy five years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't look at day over seventy four? Man,
Speaker 2: what's something you think is underrateds?
Speaker 1: I mean, I maybe you shouldn't say this, being that
Speaker 1: we have a podcast about Prestige TV. I feel like, uh, underrated.
Speaker 1: You say underrated? Right, underrated? I say going to the movies.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't go to the theater anymore.
Speaker 1: I still do, and I really have come to enjoy
Speaker 1: it because it's like the only time when I'm like
Speaker 1: your kids scrolling. Yeah, I'm just not being bothered by things.
Speaker 1: And most of those things that are bothering me are
Speaker 1: self induced. But like I can allow myself not to
Speaker 1: be bothered in a movie theater and it's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah. Wait, So are you how old is
Speaker 2: your kid? You said three? Three?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Have y'all been to a movie yet? We have? Still early?
Speaker 2: Oh shit? What was I like?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I took him to The Wild Robot and he had
Speaker 1: a great time. He stayed and watched the whole movie.
Speaker 1: He ate an entire thing of Sour Patch kids and
Speaker 1: drank an entire icy And when we got home, as
Speaker 1: soon as he walked in the door, he puked on
Speaker 1: the floor of the and it was blue.
Speaker 2: It was great, And you're like, yeah, he's like, what'd
Speaker 2: you do? We went to the park? I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were at the library, and it's.
Speaker 2: Just sure, we should make called a doctor. Whatever you do.
Speaker 4: We were learning, for sure.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 1: It actually wasn't It wasn't like a huge, you know,
Speaker 1: Exorcist style. It was just like a little one.
Speaker 5: And it wasn't a Baja blast. No, it was I
Speaker 5: actually didn't know he did it blast. I didn't know
Speaker 5: he did it until he said I threw up. And
Speaker 5: you're like, oh, oh, yes, there's blue on the floor.
Speaker 5: That's not just a new catchphrase you're trying out. That
Speaker 5: is very right. That is blue vomit. What's something you
Speaker 5: think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Vince? Yes, television? Not you not TV? What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Not these TV podcast?
Speaker 2: Celebrity hosted podcast TV.
Speaker 1: No, it's just, uh, it feels like homework now you can't.
Speaker 1: It's just every It's just there's there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: different shows on a bunch of different channels, and you
Speaker 1: can't I remember which one and like where you're watching
Speaker 1: each of them and how far you're in. It's just
Speaker 1: a it's too much. It's like my brain, my ad
Speaker 1: D brain. It's having a lot of trouble with these days.
Speaker 2: I think like I maxed out at whatever the program
Speaker 2: offerings were around two thousand and six or seven. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I was around like when I'm like, yeah, bro, I'm
Speaker 2: up on everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was our most things. That was like every
Speaker 4: show was good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what happened to when it was good?
Speaker 1: Although they still knew they were making TV back in
Speaker 1: the day. And now they're like, we're going to make
Speaker 1: the twelve part movie and I'm like, guess what, That's
Speaker 1: not how I'm watching it. And now I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on in sevens anymore. And I don't feel
Speaker 1: like going back to try and figure it out. Too complicated.
Speaker 1: I'd lost.
Speaker 2: Is there like a I mean, Vince and Matt, like,
Speaker 2: you guys, are you talk about hashtag content a lot?
Speaker 2: Is there a phrase for like this feeling? Because I
Speaker 2: think I talk about this a lot. So I don't
Speaker 2: know half of them Marvel films because there's too many
Speaker 2: came out and I'm like, yeah, Bros. At a certain point,
Speaker 2: the discourse just takes off, and I'm like, wero, I'm
Speaker 2: not putting in the fucking effort to be able to
Speaker 2: participate because I didn't care enough to begin with. But
Speaker 2: like the that feeling of being overwhelmed by the amount
Speaker 2: of fucking TV and streaming shit that is, and you're
Speaker 2: just like, I fuck it all. Actually, I'm gonna watch
Speaker 2: old episodes of some other shit. I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're all siloed like in our different
Speaker 1: you know, content bubbles, and I think like we've maybe
Speaker 1: passed peak Piggy, like a few years ago, because like
Speaker 1: at a certain point, like Marvel stopped making movies that
Speaker 1: were supposed to you know, I mean, they still want
Speaker 1: them to be big events, but they listen to the
Speaker 1: piggies way too much. So now they are like strictly
Speaker 1: for like the hardcore Marvel Piggy that really.
Speaker 4: The hogs are in control of the of the slot factory.
Speaker 4: The hogs are at the wheel of the tractor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so like you end up having way too
Speaker 3: much content out there that's all shitty and is all
Speaker 3: What's worse is it it's all interconnected. So in order
Speaker 3: to understand one piece of slot, you have to already
Speaker 3: be familiar with the previous slot portions.
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's just and if.
Speaker 1: You're watching a Marvel movie, like you kind of judge
Speaker 1: the reactions of the people around you to figure out
Speaker 1: if you're supposed to know a character that shows up
Speaker 1: on social.
Speaker 4: Cues to understand Superhero movie.
Speaker 2: You know, I was forget. It's like the kind of
Speaker 2: share like a character will come in like peak their
Speaker 2: head and be like, oh sorry and close the door,
Speaker 2: and it was.
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm You're like.
Speaker 1: They've been doing that with the goddamn Winter Soldier for
Speaker 1: like the last ten years. Every single time I've seen
Speaker 1: him on screen, there's been like this reaction where everybody's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's Bucky Barnes.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know who that is.
Speaker 2: Why am I.
Speaker 3: Supposed to know that? I'm only Marvel? I know is
Speaker 3: from season one in Flavor of Love. That's right, that's
Speaker 3: right back again, TV, back to two thousand and six.
Speaker 3: I'm stuck nineteen years ago. You should try it out,
Speaker 3: gen Z.
Speaker 1: You know what though, like the whole country is stuck
Speaker 1: in that era, because that was the era of programming
Speaker 1: that gave us The Apprentice, which essentially created the myth
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. Like before that, like he was a
Speaker 1: failed businessman. They went into Trump to I just read
Speaker 1: the book about one of the books about Trump. They
Speaker 1: like the producers of that show went into Trump Tower
Speaker 1: and they're like, man, it smells like mildew. The carpet
Speaker 1: is worn out, Like this places a piece of shit.
Speaker 1: They had to rebuild it as like a TV set
Speaker 1: for a show about a successful businessman. And that's like
Speaker 1: the basis of his entire persona now.
Speaker 2: Rather than like the office of like a tow truck yard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the fuck is that?
Speaker 4: Dude?
Speaker 2: I got some old nachos in here.
Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, it's like your but I'm trashy. Oh,
Speaker 3: don't go into that room. It's just double quarter pounder wrappers.
Speaker 2: And also just the tostata. Just the bowl part. I'd
Speaker 2: like to think the cornbowl. You can reuse the bowl,
Speaker 2: the corn bowl? Bring me another cornball?
Speaker 4: Yeah, a list? You can finish your corn ball? Can
Speaker 4: I have it?
Speaker 1: I can't do the accident as well as accent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Oh have you seen that dude who's recently
Speaker 2: killing it with the elon?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that dude's amazing.
Speaker 2: Who is that guy brow that ship? I was like,
Speaker 2: you have fucking I have not seen it? Oh here,
Speaker 2: I'll play it.
Speaker 4: I'll have you not seen that?
Speaker 2: Get it? You guys have the way your arm there, Steve.
Speaker 4: I was trying to make sure you knew that I
Speaker 4: just doing the pun.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is this guy Alex Byron. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not really about that. You expect everything to be
Speaker 2: easy now on Mars, it's gonna be really hard, you know,
Speaker 2: So people are gonna wish their AIGs. It's so, what's
Speaker 2: a really good point. It's just yeah, every it's the funny.
Speaker 2: I think every Trump administration brings up like the rise
Speaker 2: of the people who are just killing the fucking accents.
Speaker 2: It was a tamanik last time. Yeah, and now it's
Speaker 2: this guy. Anyway, let's take a quick break. We'll come
Speaker 2: back to talk about oh yeah, fucking right wing shit
Speaker 2: all right, right after this, and we're back. So it
Speaker 2: seems like the last week the Trump administration has actually
Speaker 2: managed to make some of his supporters question what the
Speaker 2: fuck is he doing with the full on Dodge Doge
Speaker 2: assault on federal workers. We saw a lot of town
Speaker 2: halls that were going completely the wrong way for you know,
Speaker 2: the Republicans who thought, they're like, bro, my district's so red,
Speaker 2: they're gonna come in and be like those those those
Speaker 2: those and they're like, hey, what the fuck happened? My
Speaker 2: kids lost their job, I lost my job, were gonna
Speaker 2: lose our jobs? What the fuck is happening? Now these
Speaker 2: town halls have turned into screaming sessions, and it seems
Speaker 2: like some of the common MAGA voters are beginning to
Speaker 2: actually feel what some of these cuts are doing. Polling
Speaker 2: has not really moved in any significant way because I
Speaker 2: think as it stands, only about thirty technically around thirty
Speaker 2: thousand jobs have been cut like cut cut, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure that will widen as more of these cuts hit
Speaker 2: more people. But these uh, you know, misinformed voters unfoord.
Speaker 2: They voted for low prices, but completely missed all of
Speaker 2: the other relevant details that indicated that this regime has
Speaker 2: no interest in helping anyone except themselves. And now there.
Speaker 4: Many times you can get fooled by the same guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, on either same lines.
Speaker 4: I mean it's almost yeah.
Speaker 2: It's almost like, wait, is this your first presidential election? Like,
Speaker 2: is that doing the thing that he said he'd do?
Speaker 2: This is why I voted. You're like, oh, my sweet
Speaker 2: sweet child, my sweet November child.
Speaker 4: Weren't you.
Speaker 1: It's also instructive for the Democrats, where it's like how
Speaker 1: many times you have to see a guy promise something
Speaker 1: that he has no intention of doing before.
Speaker 2: You also start making some good promises. But if they're
Speaker 2: not doing it, why should we that? Like, again, the
Speaker 2: Republicans enable the Democrats' worst impulses just to fucking not
Speaker 2: do anything because like, at least we're not them.
Speaker 3: No, it's the only thing they're gonna learn from this
Speaker 3: is they're gonna be like, you know, the reason people
Speaker 3: didn't like Donald Trump this time around is because he
Speaker 3: kept trying to do things. So we're gonna do the
Speaker 3: opposite of that and not do anything. Yeah, it's like, no,
Speaker 3: do something good.
Speaker 2: We need to like impeach Hakeem Jefferies. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I can't handle hearing this guy talk and be this
Speaker 2: is the this is the most shook person I've ever seen,
Speaker 2: never my life, is it? Like?
Speaker 3: Who who trained like media trained him to be like,
Speaker 3: you know, all right, So what you're gonna do is
Speaker 3: you're gonna go on these shows and when they ask you,
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do about Donald Trump? Make sure
Speaker 3: you let everyone know that you're scared and there's nothing
Speaker 3: you can do and just start trembling and I'm powerless.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Second of all, I just pissed my pants and I
Speaker 1: got no leverage.
Speaker 2: First of all, I have no leverage. Second of all,
Speaker 2: it's not pissed. It's not pissed.
Speaker 4: Somebody else pissed off my pants.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Minority leader Jeffries.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I hate I have not heard him talk. Do we
Speaker 1: have like a clip or something like? I honestly like
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I like, I've read really about his voice, about everything
Speaker 3: he says, just like a long nothing.
Speaker 4: It's a long nothing.
Speaker 3: That's that is, you know if condensed is we can't
Speaker 3: do anything, that we have no power and and sort
Speaker 3: of implying and it's your fault everyone who didn't vote
Speaker 3: for you know, uh, the either Kamala or Biden or
Speaker 3: any or anyone.
Speaker 2: It's just this is this is pretty good. This is
Speaker 2: where Hakeem Jeffries is like, oh, I can do nicknames too,
Speaker 2: I'm witty.
Speaker 7: Oh god, Chaos and extreme bag. Republicans spent Captain Chaos
Speaker 7: last year promising to lower the high cost of living
Speaker 7: and running away from Project twenty twenty five as.
Speaker 4: If it didn't exist.
Speaker 2: Sorry, one more time, Captain Chaos. Okay, Captain Chaos. Cool
Speaker 2: cool cool cool cool cool cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, we love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah there and then yeah he goes into Project twenty five,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite thing. Like they spent the whole
Speaker 1: election season like pumping that. It's like that name doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything to people, Like that name means that you
Speaker 1: have to do your homework to figure out what it is.
Speaker 1: No Americans do homework like that is our basic we.
Speaker 2: Know this homework. We keeat in America. That's what we've
Speaker 2: been trained to do. This is another one where they're like,
Speaker 2: what if like Andrew disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo like entered
Speaker 2: the mayor's race. This is Geme Jeffries on that Andrew.
Speaker 6: Komo is potentially going to jump into the mayor's race
Speaker 6: as early as this week. You've seen at least one
Speaker 6: of your colleagues here on the Hill endorse him. You
Speaker 6: called from the resign a few years ago. Should he
Speaker 6: be engaging in the manor sax.
Speaker 7: I haven't had a conversation with Governor Cuomo at this point.
Speaker 7: I do look forward to speaking with him sooner rather
Speaker 7: than later, if in fact he's going to jump into
Speaker 7: the maze race, and then we'll take it from them.
Speaker 6: Would it be good for New York if he did?
Speaker 7: I think it'd be a candidate that a lot of people,
Speaker 7: as I've heard from the district that I represent, would
Speaker 7: be very interested in.
Speaker 4: Checking out Jesus Christ. Why do we what? What?
Speaker 3: Like? Invertebrates? Yeah, invertebrates they're all jellyfish.
Speaker 2: They're full. But not even a man of war, not
Speaker 2: even a man a war, not even the scariest, but
Speaker 2: the ones they're smoking weed and finding nemo shit.
Speaker 1: It's the it's the style of talking where you were
Speaker 1: like you were saying like, I don't know, we'll take
Speaker 1: that under consideration, but you stretch it out into like
Speaker 1: four sentences and you're doing you're you're using lots of
Speaker 1: like hand signals, like you're using hand signal to underline
Speaker 1: the idea that you don't know, and you don't can't
Speaker 1: answer that.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a lot of words for I'm scared and
Speaker 4: I just pissed myself.
Speaker 2: Some of these politicians they've just been doing this for
Speaker 2: so long, they've completely just lost touch with how to
Speaker 2: just speak normally. Yes, I feel like even Hakeem Jeffreys,
Speaker 2: even if he like probably been like hell no, Andrew Colemosin,
Speaker 2: even if he did that, that's not his first thought.
Speaker 2: It's the first thing is like programming, go behay, here
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So the GOP right, there's clearly a growing number
Speaker 2: of people like GOP voters are definitely souring on Musk,
Speaker 2: Like specifically, you see movement in polls that are saying,
Speaker 2: people like Dode, what the fuck is Musk doing? The stuff?
Speaker 2: With Trump? Not so much like there's there's a lot
Speaker 2: of polls that show there's very little movement again because
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these a lot of people
Speaker 2: haven't quite realized what is about to happen, especially now
Speaker 2: with this new budget resolution that's been passed. But it's
Speaker 2: clear now that the propaganda machine has very clear orders
Speaker 2: to manufacture consent for these this fucking again austerity measures.
Speaker 2: It feels like a euphemism to even call it these
Speaker 2: austerity that.
Speaker 4: Like he implies that they have.
Speaker 2: A money Yeah right, yeah, well that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to save money, you could
Speaker 1: cancel like one of Musk's government contracts that he makes
Speaker 1: the majority of his living from.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're like, it's like it's like you have
Speaker 2: like there's like an annoying hum coming from a light
Speaker 2: in the house, and like what if we just cut
Speaker 2: the transmission line to the house. Yeah, it's like that's
Speaker 2: how we can solve it. I I don't know whatever.
Speaker 2: And in a way, I think, you know, obviously these
Speaker 2: very wealthy people will benefit from all the cast But
Speaker 2: I just want to touch on a few things that
Speaker 2: I've just seen it last day. In USA Today, there's
Speaker 2: an op ed that's basically telling people, like, you know what,
Speaker 2: like what Trump and Musk are doing is great, ignore
Speaker 2: all the haters. I believe the headline is tune out
Speaker 2: media hysteria. Those is exposing absurdities, and Americans support it.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, I love USA Today, my number one trusted
Speaker 3: news source for what's happening in the USA.
Speaker 2: For people who wake up at a holiday in express,
Speaker 2: it is our number one paper? Do they still print
Speaker 2: or at this point are they just all I think
Speaker 2: it's like so they still do yeah, I mean because
Speaker 2: I think they were the first one to have like color, right,
Speaker 2: and that's why claim to like, we're the first thing
Speaker 2: to use color printing, but then we stopped because of
Speaker 2: DEI you know. Yeah, so this is this is just
Speaker 2: one of the sentences in here that is so aimed
Speaker 2: squarely aimed at Republicans who might be questioning what's going on.
Speaker 2: Quote change is hard, Losing your job is very hard,
Speaker 2: So it's understandable why many federal workers are feeling attacked.
Speaker 2: About thirty thousand employees have lost their job so far. However,
Speaker 2: it's you and I who pay their salaries, and it's
Speaker 2: past time to ensure that our tax dollars are used
Speaker 2: in the best possible way. I'm sorry if you're the
Speaker 2: person that, Okay, sure, they're making this about again wanting
Speaker 2: to pay the entire federal workforce as just loafers and
Speaker 2: people who are just siphoning money out of the economy
Speaker 2: rather than the people at the top who are actually
Speaker 2: doing this right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really roundabout way, like for politicians to
Speaker 3: lay blame on themselves without blaming themselves. They're just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're right, there is a problem with the federal government
Speaker 3: in Washington. And no it's not us who all live
Speaker 3: off the teet of lobby money. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: it is the person who works at cubicle answering phone. Yes,
Speaker 3: it is everything that the government funds that I don't understand.
Speaker 2: How do you do that? Who's anyway? So again we're
Speaker 2: seeing every kind of logic being wheeled out. So next
Speaker 2: I want to touch in with Jesse Waters, who's obviously
Speaker 2: one of the eight our time, yeah, and one of
Speaker 2: the you know, the I think most respected intellectuals on
Speaker 2: the right at the moment. Absolutely, this is him just
Speaker 2: basically trying another version of like why do we need
Speaker 2: people who work for.
Speaker 4: The federal government at all?
Speaker 2: This time he's attacking park rangers.
Speaker 4: The bear the bears.
Speaker 8: So when you go camping in a national park, judge,
Speaker 8: the first thing you do is you go to the
Speaker 8: park ranger and ask should I feed the bears?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: I did a little research on bear attacks and fatalities
Speaker 8: in North America during the pandemic. We shut down the
Speaker 8: national parks and we didn't have a single park ranger.
Speaker 8: How many people died from bear attacks that year when
Speaker 8: there was zero park rangers one American?
Speaker 4: Well, there's zero people in the goddamn parks.
Speaker 1: He learned that the main thing that park rangers do
Speaker 1: is keep people from getting eaten by bits because he's
Speaker 1: watching fucking yogi bears.
Speaker 3: He's like, we all know what park rangers do is
Speaker 3: they get their picnic baskets.
Speaker 2: Exactly, that's what they do. They prevent us from getting
Speaker 2: people's picanic baskets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, guess what, they keep feeding
Speaker 3: the bears inadvertently, and they're getting fat off that those
Speaker 3: fat bears.
Speaker 1: Was where in a tie, like he's clearly made an
Speaker 1: industry out of this.
Speaker 2: And he had one of those like straw hats that
Speaker 2: you see people wear when they usually got like the
Speaker 2: what's that thing on their arms the garters on their
Speaker 2: arms and they're like in a acappella band. Anyway, this
Speaker 2: logic is so flimsy too, to be like, well, the
Speaker 2: parks were shut down, but again, does it mean people
Speaker 2: were going to Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, literally, they weren't going to the fucking parks. It
Speaker 3: was a goddamn pandemic like it is just and he died.
Speaker 2: Okay, well go on, let's please please lay out your
Speaker 2: infallible logic one more time, Jesse.
Speaker 8: All of the park rangers the next year, four thousand
Speaker 8: park rangers. You know how many bear attacks one The
Speaker 8: amount of park rangers has nothing to do with how
Speaker 8: many people's lives they saved from bear attacks.
Speaker 2: How did you get on bear attack?
Speaker 4: Did we start with bears? Why did we start with bears?
Speaker 2: That's the question, I'm sure because this when they are
Speaker 2: on the five, it's like, you know, Judge drunk Ass
Speaker 2: is probably saying like yeah, they're like, thank you your honor,
Speaker 2: thank you your honor. Yes exactly, that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: The bears are attacking. Yeah, No, they don't just do that.
Speaker 2: I think anyone who's been to a national park or
Speaker 2: every or fucking even needed the help of a park ranger,
Speaker 2: probably because you're injured or fucking you know, some of
Speaker 2: the heat exhaustion. You know, thetice they do. They maintain
Speaker 2: the fucking parks, and shit crazy to try and reduce
Speaker 2: that job to being like they are the bear pointer outers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're the bear police. That's also like I
Speaker 1: would imagine a bear attack usually happens like near your house,
Speaker 1: where like bears are coming to try and get food,
Speaker 1: and you don't face that problem in a national park
Speaker 1: because you're not allowed to pull the house there. I'm like,
Speaker 1: the fucking point of it, God damn it, because I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel.
Speaker 2: The other thing you'd say is, I'm sure people have
Speaker 2: seen videos where people like are at Yellowstone or something
Speaker 2: like trying to hug a fucking buffalo or some wild
Speaker 2: dumb this summer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's because dumb fun want to try and do shit
Speaker 2: like that and disturb the wildlife and probably end up
Speaker 2: getting themselves fucked over real good by gigantic animal. You
Speaker 2: need people to unfortunately not just be like beware, but
Speaker 2: to also keep idiots from hurting themselves. All that to say, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're just they they point at bears and there's four
Speaker 2: thousand of them and they're not needed, so don't cry
Speaker 2: over them.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now listen, you guys. If you guys want to
Speaker 1: take if you guys want to be the party of
Speaker 1: taking selfies next to bears, I think that is that
Speaker 1: is the what.
Speaker 4: That's what you should do.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 4: You don't need to know Park Granger telling you what
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 1: Just go right up to that elk, get yourself a selfie,
Speaker 1: and if anybody tries to tell you not to do that,
Speaker 1: they're woke and.
Speaker 4: You should try.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, thank you. Let's move on to
Speaker 2: our next example, because everyone is getting in on this
Speaker 2: because again, it's so fucking unpopular to take away programs
Speaker 2: that people fucking rely on to survive, like Medicaid. So
Speaker 2: here is Ben Shapiro now doing his putting in his
Speaker 2: shift to tell people like Medicaid, Medicaid is like not
Speaker 2: even like a four month an insurance. Okay, here's Ben
Speaker 2: Shapiro with his bullshit.
Speaker 9: Are truly atrocious, just in speaking in terms of public policy,
Speaker 9: speaking in terms of health outcomes, there's some good studies
Speaker 9: that actually demonstrate that Medicaid coverage is no better than
Speaker 9: you having no coverage and just going for emergency care
Speaker 9: to the hospital.
Speaker 4: Why.
Speaker 9: Because the reimbursement rates on Medicaid are so low that
Speaker 9: doctors don't even take Medicaid. Good doctors don't like taking
Speaker 9: Medicaid because the reimbursement rates are pennies on the dollar
Speaker 9: of what they could earn from private insurance.
Speaker 2: Exactly. I went to the emergency room with a little
Speaker 2: toy car in my butt that someone put in a
Speaker 2: condom for a bit we are doing, and the guy
Speaker 2: wouldn't even see me because I had Medicaid. Again, what
Speaker 2: the fuck is he saying? His quote is there's some
Speaker 2: good studies that actually demonstrate that medicaid coverage is no
Speaker 2: better than you having no coverage and just going for
Speaker 2: emergency care to the hospital.
Speaker 1: Which is is I broke my arm when a toadchool
Speaker 1: f on me and I tried to her.
Speaker 3: And also, just for the record, it wasn't a toy car.
Speaker 3: It was a Ben Schapiro sized car in my botty hole.
Speaker 3: It was in my treehouse making cookies.
Speaker 2: We were working on a new recipe of el fudges.
Speaker 3: But like literally, like, so, my daughter is on Medicaid
Speaker 3: because she's little and because you know, podcasting doesn't pay
Speaker 3: the bills, and it's like the idea that she would
Speaker 3: be better off with no health insurance is absolutely insane,
Speaker 3: completely insane.
Speaker 4: It makes classic sense.
Speaker 1: This is the classic playbook, is that they get into
Speaker 1: power and they make sure things don't work, and then
Speaker 1: they then they cut those things by saying they don't work.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, like you go in and you cut
Speaker 1: the funding out of something and then and then you're like,
Speaker 1: see it doesn't even it's not even good for anything,
Speaker 1: So now we can just kill it completely.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I don't know, that's gonna be hard
Speaker 2: when sixty to seventy million people are on Medicaid and
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be like, yeah, dude, I'm better off
Speaker 2: not having this shit. Finding me that person, find me
Speaker 2: that person. Truly, I'm sure you can find somebody who's
Speaker 2: an opportunist and just sell their own soul out, just
Speaker 2: as they get on Fox. But like again for other
Speaker 2: research Ben has here, Well, here's another piece of research. Ben, Okay,
Speaker 2: a large body of research shows that medicaid beneficiaries have
Speaker 2: substantially better access to care than people who are uninsured,
Speaker 2: who are also primarily low income and are less likely
Speaker 2: to postpone or go without needed care due to cost,
Speaker 2: as federal rules generally limit our out of pocket Medicaid costs.
Speaker 3: So yeah, not only that, but also like the Medicaid,
Speaker 3: at least for my daughter, is better than my fucking
Speaker 3: private health insurance. Like she like she is getting. It's
Speaker 3: like the fucking ten dollars copays. Everything is like paid
Speaker 3: for with this goddamn thing, and meanwhile I get bills.
Speaker 4: For random share.
Speaker 3: I have to go to the doctor every month to
Speaker 3: get a prescription refilled because they won't refill it without
Speaker 3: me coming in, So I gotta do a thirty dollars
Speaker 3: to pay just so I can get the medication that
Speaker 3: is also thirty dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this fucking it's It's also like, oh, well, doctors
Speaker 1: don't want to take that because you know they have
Speaker 1: they don't get enough reimbursement, and their student loans are
Speaker 1: too high they have to keep paying them back.
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, well let us cancel the student loans.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, no, we can't or.
Speaker 2: Maybe change this, like predatory healthcare system were even a thing.
Speaker 2: We're like, well, we're we're not going to make enough
Speaker 2: money helping this person.
Speaker 3: So no, you're the government, you decide how fast you
Speaker 3: can reimburse the doctors.
Speaker 4: The thing is is they make that shit impossible.
Speaker 3: They did the same thing with the Obamacare and the
Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act, where like now people aren't taking
Speaker 3: covered California because it takes too long to get reimbursed.
Speaker 3: The only reason it takes too long to get reimbursed
Speaker 3: is because the people in charge of doing the reimbursements
Speaker 3: are the ones who are fucking like, hey, let's get
Speaker 3: rid of this goddamn you know, ACA, let's get rid
Speaker 3: of Obamacare, let's get rid of Medicaid and Medicare.
Speaker 2: Again, just another stat outside of you know, his very
Speaker 2: fucking nonsensical argument that it's not good healthcare. Sixty three percent.
Speaker 2: As of July twenty twenty four, Medicaid was the primary
Speaker 2: payer for sixty three percent of nursing facility residents. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so fuck like again, this is this is so fucking diabolical,
Speaker 2: and these are the facts that people really need to understand, Like,
Speaker 2: these cuts are going to lead to people literally, you know, dying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's just that's there's no way to cut that. And
Speaker 2: all these using words like savings to completely obscure their
Speaker 2: policies are saving what.
Speaker 3: No one is getting money from this except for you
Speaker 3: guys being freeing enough money for another Starling contract.
Speaker 4: It's so fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And uh, yeah, you know, and these all these people,
Speaker 3: to the man everyone you just played, they also coincidentally
Speaker 3: have some really strong words about Luigi Mangioni and do
Speaker 3: not understand why people like him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is why caping for the wrong people
Speaker 2: always at least they're consistent. And again, you know, like
Speaker 2: the logic here is and I encourage all listeners to
Speaker 2: have confrontations with people that are like, no, it's actually good, okay,
Speaker 2: and how are how are they gonna what do you mean?
Speaker 2: This is just gonna go to the wealthiest. So if
Speaker 2: these programs are gone they don't need funding, which they
Speaker 2: don't need funding, they can they can basically say they
Speaker 2: can justify doing ship like well Musk and Bezos. You
Speaker 2: don't need them to pay their fair share at all
Speaker 2: because there's just no need for it because these programs
Speaker 2: are gone. That's what the fuck we're talking about anyway.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what the silver lining is here,
Speaker 2: but I feel like I don't know the Gilded Age
Speaker 2: led to, you know, just a huge spike in popularity
Speaker 2: and socialist policies.
Speaker 3: Up until the New Deal. I like to go the
Speaker 3: right way. The optimism is, well, it's always darkest before
Speaker 3: the dawn. When's that fucking dawn coming, Miles, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Well,
Speaker 2: it will come. It's gonna be here. Don't just fucking
Speaker 2: just wait a little bit. Okay, all right, let's take
Speaker 2: a quick break and we'll come back to just swing
Speaker 2: our focus to Tinseltown for a moment, because there's a
Speaker 2: lot happening there and we're back so again just wild.
Speaker 2: We were just talking about Lex Luthor and evil people
Speaker 2: and just the greatest Lex Luthor of them all, Gene Hackman,
Speaker 2: passed away. This is a very again this as this
Speaker 2: we found out maybe hours before recording this, because you
Speaker 2: know this is this is when it was all announced.
Speaker 2: But he passed away at the age of ninety five
Speaker 2: years old, you know, legend in the game, and the
Speaker 2: circumstances around the death are bizarre and also very tragic.
Speaker 2: He was found dead in his New Mexico home along
Speaker 2: with his wife, who is sixty four years old, and
Speaker 2: like one of their dogs also passed away. To two
Speaker 2: did it? There's a search warrant that you know, I
Speaker 2: think tmzre when somehow they just get this shit, they're like, well,
Speaker 2: according to this legal toutchment, we were able to find
Speaker 2: the desks were quote suspicious enough in nature to acquire
Speaker 2: a thorough search and investigation. There's things that like people
Speaker 2: had come to the home and found them sort of
Speaker 2: around the house dead. They found that, you know, there
Speaker 2: was like some pills scattered on the counter. There was
Speaker 2: like a heater moved. People aren't quite sure what is
Speaker 2: going on, Yo, that's crazy. Said, No, foul play is
Speaker 2: suspected at the time, but again they're also there what
Speaker 2: they said, there were no signs of a carbon monoxide leak,
Speaker 2: which I think is what most people would be like,
Speaker 2: that's probably.
Speaker 4: What That's what I thought. They're saying, there's no signs
Speaker 4: of it. Now I really don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy if it was an.
Speaker 3: Assassination, because no, like I mean, Gene Hackman was already
Speaker 3: nine five is just wait a week.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Gene Hackman died and then his wife
Speaker 1: may have gotten depressed about it, because they said there
Speaker 1: was a bottle of prescription pills out on the counter,
Speaker 1: with pills scattered everywhere. They weren't found for a while,
Speaker 1: like the one dog. They said, at least right, it
Speaker 1: was more than that. I think he said she was
Speaker 1: like partially mummified or something like that, like, uh, what
Speaker 1: there was like she'd.
Speaker 4: Been dead a while, the dog that died. I don't think,
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: I don't think I know what mummified means.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's got toilet paper around her and
Speaker 1: staggering around trying to trying to choke you. She really
Speaker 1: wanted wants to get in there. No, I don't know either.
Speaker 1: I think she was, you know, she was, she was
Speaker 1: depos been a while. So and then the dog they
Speaker 1: said was dead was in a kennel. So like if
Speaker 1: they died a while ago. Uh, and the one dog
Speaker 1: that died was the one that was in a kennel
Speaker 1: and get food, I would imagine maybe it just starved
Speaker 1: because they died hydration.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, just like you know, a week Michelle Trachtenberg,
Speaker 2: Gene Hackman, just a yeah, back to back crazy.
Speaker 4: What what did Michelle Trachtenberg die of?
Speaker 2: They don't know. I mean they she had a liver
Speaker 2: transplant recently, and so she was she was in poor health, So.
Speaker 4: I'm okay, so she was already sick with something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't. I think there was some headline
Speaker 2: about like the family, Like I think presuming to be
Speaker 2: fine with that and they weren't going to do an autopsy.
Speaker 2: But again they happened in.
Speaker 4: Three, So well, who's the third.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't I just we just don't know,
Speaker 2: and let's not speculate. But again, speaking of punching up
Speaker 2: and speaking up for the downtrodden, I just want to
Speaker 2: touch on you know, the Oscars are coming up and
Speaker 2: one of the favorites to win in the documentary Best
Speaker 2: Documentary category still doesn't have US distribution. This is the
Speaker 2: documentary called No Other Land, and it's basically about Israel's
Speaker 2: demolition of the West Bank village of Masafer Yata and
Speaker 2: this land was seized and they're like, this actually is
Speaker 2: our new trip tank training course, not your home. This
Speaker 2: won the top prize at the Brillianall Film Festival, but
Speaker 2: even at that time, it's like one. There was controversy
Speaker 2: around it because the filmmaking team, which includes both Palestinian
Speaker 2: and Israeli filmmakers, they use the speech to call for
Speaker 2: a sea spire, just saying where there needs to be
Speaker 2: a ceaspire, this violence needs to cease.
Speaker 1: Uh and hold did they preface that by saying that
Speaker 1: Israel has a right to defend itself, and we can.
Speaker 4: We can.
Speaker 3: You can't just say things without first prefacing it with
Speaker 3: something that defangs the thing you're about to say.
Speaker 2: I was merely just saying innocent people need to stop dying.
Speaker 2: That's pretty That's literally what I all know.
Speaker 4: You gotta preface it. You gotta preface it or else.
Speaker 3: You know. It's really funny about that Berlin ally thing
Speaker 3: was I think there was a German politician of some
Speaker 3: sort or diplomat maybe some German of note who was
Speaker 3: there who got like just raked over the coals in
Speaker 3: the German press because she was clapping for them after
Speaker 3: the screening, and then she clarified, no, no, no, I
Speaker 3: was clapping for the Israeli filmmaker, not the Palestinian. Literally,
Speaker 3: that was her explanation for why she shouldn't be in trouble.
Speaker 3: It's they were standing next to each other like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: cover your ears, Palestinian filmmakers, Israel for them, it's for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So then it was nominated for an oscar because
Speaker 2: it's a very compelling piece. Still no distributor in the
Speaker 2: United States, so the directors have launched basically a self
Speaker 2: distribution plan that got the film into like twenty three
Speaker 2: theaters and actually did really well despite this small sort
Speaker 2: of box office footprint that they had. And now you know,
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are not like, as
Speaker 2: this the Oscar race heats up, it's not really being
Speaker 2: talked about, but the people that are really pointing out
Speaker 2: like this isn't some sensational like hit job, Like this
Speaker 2: is truly just a very just matter of fact documentary.
Speaker 2: Like the co director, Basiladra, who's in the film, just
Speaker 2: started filming what was happening around him. That's how this
Speaker 2: thing started, right, And his hope wasn't to be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh shit, this is gonna get me an Oscar again.
Speaker 2: It was out of his need, out of his desire
Speaker 2: to actually have a record of what is happening to
Speaker 2: the people around him in his community, so it would
Speaker 2: hopefully inspire the US to change their policies or at
Speaker 2: least a pressure Israel to stop the expulsion. This was
Speaker 2: back in twenty nineteen, So now you know, they're really
Speaker 2: really focused on getting a US distribution deal because again
Speaker 2: they as they say it, they want Americans to quote
Speaker 2: see what their money is doing to us. And I
Speaker 2: think that's really I think it's really powerful because again,
Speaker 2: in America we are the most propagandized people. We are
Speaker 2: absolutely they put blinders on very intentionally to many things
Speaker 2: that are happening, especially when it intersects with US imperialism
Speaker 2: and hegemony. So yeah, like would be would be a
Speaker 2: great moment. But anyway, yes, right.
Speaker 4: There's also another wrinkle, which is that gal Gadot is
Speaker 4: supposedly presenting the Best Documentary Award.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's a rumor really no really, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's real, but the.
Speaker 4: Rumor going around just trying to figure that out.
Speaker 3: Is that gal Gadot is supposed to be, uh the
Speaker 3: presenter for that category, which everyone is just like the
Speaker 3: Academy has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
Speaker 3: and make her have to say no other land, Yeah
Speaker 3: it is. You know, this movie, like a lot of
Speaker 3: movies in this very particular genre or documentaries in the
Speaker 3: genre is for a for a while now, has been
Speaker 3: you know, kind of put in the same category as
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 4: Oh, something you upload on YouTube.
Speaker 3: You know, like whenever it comes to movies about what's
Speaker 3: happening in Palestine, there's always this like you're either you're
Speaker 3: you're you almost never see why distribution for it, and
Speaker 3: and it's it's crazy that one can literally be nominated
Speaker 3: for an Oscar and still people are like, I don't
Speaker 3: really know if it's any good.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I don't know if anyone wants to see this.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone wants to see this very
Speaker 2: harrowing piece of documentary filmmaking.
Speaker 1: Also, like in the age of streaming, like it's not
Speaker 1: like it was, you know, eight years ago or nine
Speaker 1: years ago. It costs you nothing, you don't have to
Speaker 1: figure out like what theater to put it in. Streaming
Speaker 1: has like endless, endless lots for documentaries that they you know,
Speaker 1: they're constantly making and distributing those.
Speaker 2: Well, and like to that point, like Netflix, that you know,
Speaker 2: has a shitload of documentaries and a lot of people
Speaker 2: consume a ton of documentary conspicuously purged nineteen films from
Speaker 2: a collection they had within the Netflix app called Palestinian
Speaker 2: Stories last fall, and they and their whole thing was
Speaker 2: just like, oh, the deals lapsed, so like we just
Speaker 2: that's why they're not there anymore.
Speaker 3: What they did, they laugh, Oh, October seventh is when
Speaker 3: they lapsed.
Speaker 4: Weirdly, that was just kind of that was this weird coincidence.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. But again, and now like the
Speaker 2: page for that section just just like intentionally left blank,
Speaker 2: which is a really fucked up visual, just to be
Speaker 2: like yikes.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But again this is also from within the industry. A
Speaker 2: lot of distributors claim that the directors were offered distribution
Speaker 2: deals but they were kind of smaller, and that they
Speaker 2: turned it down because they want to use the lack
Speaker 2: of distribution access for publicity purposes.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is the the the old Hollywood distributing yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is this is what
Speaker 3: they always this is what they always claim anytime there
Speaker 3: is an actual injustice. It's just like, oh, well, you're
Speaker 3: only saying there is because you want a headline. And
Speaker 3: it's like, no, literally, it is. We are taping you
Speaker 3: doing injustices. What do we have to do to convince
Speaker 3: doing this.
Speaker 2: I'm actually doing this because these aren't headlines, right, it's
Speaker 2: the problem, and I'm trying to bring added awareness to
Speaker 2: this situation. So yeah, any any oscar any Look, as
Speaker 2: someone who again I was saying, I'm so overwhelmed by
Speaker 2: the amount of films that are out. What what wish
Speaker 2: I watch before the Oscars? What have you seen Anora?
Speaker 4: Yet?
Speaker 2: I saw Nora because I was like, I was like,
Speaker 2: it's Armenian gangsters in there. Yes, I want to see
Speaker 2: that as someone grew up in La Like, I was
Speaker 2: very much like, oh, look at this Armenian representation. I'm
Speaker 2: like that this isn't something you see much in big
Speaker 2: movies these days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, except they're not even really gangsters. They're just like
Speaker 1: I do for the other gangster with me a lot.
Speaker 1: They're so bumbling, it's so funny. That's actually pretty much
Speaker 1: the only one I've seen. I also hear a lot
Speaker 1: about Conclave.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the top three easily.
Speaker 1: I mean, like all the all the best pictures are
Speaker 1: like decent, but I feel like there's a clear top
Speaker 1: three and the rest are like ways behind. Top three
Speaker 1: are a Nora, Conclave and Nickel Boys to me, and
Speaker 1: then you know the other ones are there's some other
Speaker 1: good ones, but I think those are the three best.
Speaker 2: And yeah, Jack keeps saying is like I had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun watching Conclave. I'm like, it's fun. It
Speaker 2: is the mean Catholicism so fun.
Speaker 3: Vince, you were saying it's better than two Popes, right, yes, dude,
Speaker 3: I watched it.
Speaker 4: I was like for.
Speaker 3: They because like, that's my favorite pope movie. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like Goes two Popes, Godfather three, Sister Act one.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the Pope shows up at the end of
Speaker 4: Sister Act one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if because how do you feel about
Speaker 2: young Pope.
Speaker 4: I'm not into young Pope.
Speaker 3: I tried to enjoy Young Pope, but then I was
Speaker 3: just like he's too young man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's not poping enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which experience is what's happening with Pope?
Speaker 4: With real Pope? Is he dead? No?
Speaker 1: No, he's like and then he's but he's old, but
Speaker 1: he's so he's like he didn't die.
Speaker 2: He's still showing slight slight improvement is the last thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: doing respiratory therapy.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I don't, you know, think he is
Speaker 3: God or whatever that. I don't know what Catholics they
Speaker 3: think that. They think that the Pope is like friends
Speaker 3: with God. Right, yeah, he gets to wear God's favorite hat. Okay, cool,
Speaker 3: you can't be Yeah, if you wear in that hat,
Speaker 3: you gotta be tight with God.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, No, one could call me stupid. This is
Speaker 4: God's favorite hat.
Speaker 2: It's it's like, it's like you're a patched in biker,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's it's like, Yo, unless
Speaker 2: you met God, we can't have that shit. You can't
Speaker 2: have you up for having that.
Speaker 3: Do you talk to God? Well, then take all that
Speaker 3: mom goals patch. But yeah, like I like, I like
Speaker 3: this pope. I mean, you know, I don't know much
Speaker 3: about him, but occasionally he'll say something and I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's pretty good for a pope.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, which is a very low buddy bar.
Speaker 4: He'll be like, blessing children is bad. I'll be like,
Speaker 4: oh what.
Speaker 2: Bars spitten fever from over there?
