Speaker 3: could like articulate what was.
Speaker 1: Going on, I'm like, what what?
Speaker 7: What's wrong with?
Speaker 1: My dad?
Speaker 3: Said Ronald Reagan?
Speaker 1: So these are.
Speaker 3: All Reagan from that mind. Was just a podcast host.
Speaker 6: He is able to really just steal things down. So
Speaker 6: simply I guess.
Speaker 1: That I have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have taken on in my own way.
Speaker 1: So the Gray Men sequel to Netflix is The Gray Man.
Speaker 4: And Happy Birthday to Jim.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Big Jim jungle Gym. My friends and I used
Speaker 1: to call him. He didn't like it because he'd crawl
Speaker 1: all over that out let's swing on him in high school.
Speaker 1: Him and yeah, because we crawled all over him.
Speaker 3: Right, Clair, last time you were here, you were preparing
Speaker 3: for a procedure. You were saying you had to get
Speaker 3: a recedure. You're you had operation, and you're fine. Everyone
Speaker 3: can tell you of you are on the other side
Speaker 3: of it. You're doing well, You're thriving.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you for remembering. Yeah, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 6: I had a little bit of like vulnerability hangover after
Speaker 6: that podcast, but I was so like fired up and
Speaker 6: upset about it. I was like, I really revealed a
Speaker 6: lot that day. But yeah, I did have this surgery.
Speaker 6: It was this the lead up was scarier than the
Speaker 6: actual thing. I went through, the whole recovery. And we're
Speaker 6: all good.
Speaker 1: Beautiful love that we love to hear it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, we love good news on this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need every single last drop that we can. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lydiopopovitch, what is something from your search history that
Speaker 3: is revealing about who you are?
Speaker 7: So the last heavy googling I did was a few
Speaker 7: days ago, and the very top of that search district
Speaker 7: I had to look and be like, what were you googling?
Speaker 7: It would have been googling was an article that said
Speaker 7: infertility in the Bitch, And I remember it took me
Speaker 7: a second and I was just like, ooh, tough, tough, Jeb.
Speaker 7: And then I remembered because I'm I'm researching. I want
Speaker 7: to I want to breed my dog. I have a
Speaker 7: beautiful one hundred and five pound Kenny Corso and she's
Speaker 7: a beautiful girl and she has the sweetest temperament and
Speaker 7: we want to have puppies, so we are going to
Speaker 7: be purchasing a second dog. And so I'm doing, you know,
Speaker 7: as you would as a responsible female, some research on
Speaker 7: how should what she thinks should I look out for,
Speaker 7: you know, what creates infertility and dogs? And uh, just
Speaker 7: seeing the headline infertility in the Bitch made me laugh
Speaker 7: a lot. I know, I realized maybe I'm not ready
Speaker 7: for a grand dog motherhood because I can't even read
Speaker 7: an article without laughing. I could barely focus because every
Speaker 7: time it said the word bitch, I was like, ooh, bitch.
Speaker 1: You're like these are infertile.
Speaker 3: Yo, yo easy. I know Trump's president, but.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's exactly where my mindset were. That was like, listen,
Speaker 7: I know I'm forty seven. Yeah she's infertile. She's not
Speaker 7: having any babies. Okay, but do we need to like
Speaker 7: start giving these be the results like, hey, bitch, nah,
Speaker 7: Nah'm like no, not me, the dog, Oh the dog.
Speaker 7: So yeah, that's that's where I'm at is I'm googling
Speaker 7: about my dog's reproductive sys. Do you get to stick her?
Speaker 3: You must love this dog, because you're like, I need to.
Speaker 3: I want this dog to go forth and multiply.
Speaker 7: I love this dog so much it's not even funny,
Speaker 7: so much that I want her to go and multiply.
Speaker 7: I'm willing to purchase a whole other male dog, raise
Speaker 7: that dog to maturity so that they can have sex,
Speaker 7: so that I can control the bloodline, and then she'll
Speaker 7: have puppies, and then I'll keep one of those dogs,
Speaker 7: which means, if you're counting, I will have three Canny Corsos, yeah,
Speaker 7: free dogs, which, if you were literally listening, that's close
Speaker 7: to three hundred and fifty pounds worth of dogs running
Speaker 7: around my house at all times. That's also not counting
Speaker 7: my tiny dog who is sixteen pounds. Yeah, so I
Speaker 7: have a problem.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, I think you have our
Speaker 3: full support. Yeah you going, Look, you're on your Chris
Speaker 3: Jenner journey right now.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm trying to have my Kardashians. You know
Speaker 7: what I mean. I'm trying. None of these dogs, well
Speaker 7: one of these dogs has an Instagram account. The rest
Speaker 7: of them do not right.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay?
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7: You know, I've been thinking about this because I tend
Speaker 7: to give the same answers and literally everything is underrated. No,
Speaker 7: I think this is a controversial, but I think what's
Speaker 7: underrated is sugar. I have been on a personal no
Speaker 7: sugar journey and I miss it. I everyone's talks about it,
Speaker 7: and I know it's bad for you. It does things,
Speaker 7: or so says my diabetes doctor. However, sugar is delicious.
Speaker 7: What it does to a morning coffee, Oh baby, oh oh.
Speaker 3: You put sugar in your coffee.
Speaker 7: Sugared things. There's sugar in that cream or that you
Speaker 7: put in your coffee, which makes your coffee delicious, unless
Speaker 7: you're drinking just you know, hot and black, which people do.
Speaker 7: But you know, I like a little I like a
Speaker 7: little a little latte treat, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I like a little mixed, a little mixed kind of
Speaker 7: breakfast cocktail if you will, and sugar certainly helps with
Speaker 7: that party. Sugar is underrated. I just miss it.
Speaker 8: And sugar in your coffee guy, I'm I don't put
Speaker 8: sugar in my coffee, but I put sugar in. I
Speaker 8: think the thing that that a lot of people don't
Speaker 8: think about is like most like braises and stews and
Speaker 8: some of your sugar sauces that is good. The reason
Speaker 8: it tastes so much better at a restaurant if there's
Speaker 8: sugar or some not fucking corn syrup. Most not most
Speaker 8: Asian shut with a lot of like the best like
Speaker 8: Korean shit.
Speaker 1: Corn syrup dogs.
Speaker 7: You start yeah, and you're like, literally everything has sugar
Speaker 7: in it, ketchup sugar in it? Like yeah, that is
Speaker 7: one thing I've looked into, Like it definitely has changed
Speaker 7: my philosophy on like processed foods in America, where I'm like,
Speaker 7: you know what, Europe's right, we're trash. Yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 7: fucking fresh. Like I read everything, and even when I'm
Speaker 7: thinking healthy, I'm just like, oh my god, unless it's
Speaker 7: naturally occurring sugar everything, And isn't it the amount of
Speaker 7: effort I have to put into to find foods literally
Speaker 7: with no sugar. It's so difficult. It's so like.
Speaker 3: I was looking at a bag of celery and it
Speaker 3: said it had two rams that added sugar.
Speaker 7: I'm saying, you know what a crunchy, crispy lady like
Speaker 7: I am. I love a chip, Love a chip, love
Speaker 7: a cracker, love you know, love anything. Even I was
Speaker 7: like buying these like toasty like carbonzo beans and I
Speaker 7: was like, why are they so good? And it was
Speaker 7: a Korean barbecue flavored. I'm like, oh, because there's fucking
Speaker 7: sugar all over and what a They're delicious, Just popping
Speaker 7: them by the handful, thinking I'm doing right, and then
Speaker 7: I took a look on the back and it's like.
Speaker 3: Yells, all life's problems.
Speaker 7: So I guess, really it's not sure. I guess what's
Speaker 7: underrated is an actual functional functioning like insulin output. So like, hey,
Speaker 7: if you're.
Speaker 3: Working, no, keep that wor bless up, keep bless up.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean? Like I hear that that's
Speaker 7: really what it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, really, palve, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 9: Okay, something I think that's underrated? This may be a
Speaker 9: story tomorrow. Oh my god, did I lose it?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 9: I didn't, okay, So this may be a story tomorrow
Speaker 9: that you talk about more because it might have gained
Speaker 9: traction by then. But this is like a news thing.
Speaker 9: I think medicine is underrated, especially right now. There is
Speaker 9: somebody who is like related to Jade Vance through marriage
Speaker 9: or something. She is a young girl.
Speaker 3: Who was she's twelve years old.
Speaker 9: She was adopted into this family that is like a
Speaker 9: non denominational Christian family. She's from China when she was
Speaker 9: four years old. She has heart issues. They knew she
Speaker 9: would be required to have a heart transplant at some
Speaker 9: point in her life, and Cincinnati Children's won't put their
Speaker 9: twelve year old daughter on this heart trans plant list
Speaker 9: because she her parents refuse to get her vaccinated for
Speaker 9: like COVID and something else, and like, if you don't
Speaker 9: get vaccinated, then you are more likely to get infections,
Speaker 9: the organ is less likely to lass as in.
Speaker 3: She will die right.
Speaker 9: And her parents are like, well, we shouldn't have to
Speaker 9: do that. So they're fundraising off of it and acting
Speaker 9: like they're in the right, And I think this is abuse.
Speaker 9: I think this has so many different strands to it.
Speaker 9: There's like transracial adoption, this weird evangelical adoption thing issues
Speaker 9: that have like those people putting their beliefs on these children.
Speaker 9: And it's also abuse, like she should be able to
Speaker 9: get the vaccine if it prevents, you know, especially just
Speaker 9: in general, but especially in order to get this heart
Speaker 9: transplant be put on this list. So I think, especially
Speaker 9: right now because I am sick, I'm taking cof meta,
Speaker 9: I'm taking I just love being over thirty and taking
Speaker 9: ibuprofen because I exist.
Speaker 7: And so I.
Speaker 9: Think what it's underrated right now is like medical advances
Speaker 9: and we need to embrace them and we need to
Speaker 9: understand them and appreciate them because we may not all
Speaker 9: always get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we live in an age of wonders. We
Speaker 1: might not very soon, but we did for Yeah, medicine
Speaker 1: was really on one there for I think we're going
Speaker 1: to look back and be like, man, it's pretty fucking
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. Do you remember when like we didn't have
Speaker 1: iron lungs built into homes because of the polio outbreaks?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really like in theory, I guess eight years
Speaker 1: ago or whenever this child was adopted, it's like they're
Speaker 1: being adopted by a family that's like related to the
Speaker 1: person who's going to be the vice president of America.
Speaker 1: And now it's like, of all the directions that young
Speaker 1: person's life could have taken at adoption, that is the
Speaker 1: worst one. Like that is that is where we live now.
Speaker 1: We just need to wrap our minds around the fact.
Speaker 1: But like this, when people look back, they're going to
Speaker 1: look back on people living in the United States at
Speaker 1: this time and be like, God, damn, that must have
Speaker 1: been fucking weird.
Speaker 3: They're gonna call it the Dark Ages again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dark.
Speaker 3: But we look at we were in our she and
Speaker 3: outfits in the mirror bubbles are like, are we the
Speaker 3: babbies not? I mean, I am you look at this ass,
Speaker 3: look at all that as doing all the talking for me?
Speaker 1: Baby? What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 10: Okay, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Cults? Cults joined one for me. I told you we've
Speaker 1: been wasting our time with this one too much of
Speaker 1: a mind of her own?
Speaker 10: Are currently looking for a nanny. Our last nanny joined
Speaker 10: a cult. Wow, And I think they're overrated. So okay,
Speaker 10: we have this amazing nanny that we shared with a
Speaker 10: friend of mine. She came two days a week and
Speaker 10: she was like, you know, I can't come these certain
Speaker 10: days and times because I have to go to church
Speaker 10: five days a week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 10: And I was like, all right, you know whatever.
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, are you a Catholic grandmother from Easter?
Speaker 1: So you're all right?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 10: Community friendship, I get it. You know, she's got kids, okay.
Speaker 10: And then she was like, I can't because I can't
Speaker 10: do these certain times because I need to take a
Speaker 10: class on this a writing, a Christian writing class on
Speaker 10: evangelizing for my church.
Speaker 1: You're all right?
Speaker 10: And then I can't come this other day. So now
Speaker 10: seven days a week we're at church because I got
Speaker 10: to work for my church. I gotta do this for
Speaker 10: my church, okay, right, And then she said I am
Speaker 10: going to have to leave both of y'all. I My
Speaker 10: husband thinks I should find something closer to the church.
Speaker 1: Physically, physically closer.
Speaker 10: And then I looked up one of her videos and
Speaker 10: it's her and her husband out on the street with
Speaker 10: like an amp and a mica talking about how women
Speaker 10: who wear pants are from the devil.
Speaker 1: Now I don't understand that, because pants are what.
Speaker 10: Pants are comfortable. No, we're from the devil because we're
Speaker 10: trying to be men, and we're not doing our being
Speaker 10: there in the home and it's causing the collapse of society.
Speaker 3: But then you have a job and wear a skirt
Speaker 3: and then be okay, yes, skirt pants, like you can
Speaker 3: be an independent woman.
Speaker 1: Just do not wear pants long skirt. But if you're
Speaker 1: walking and it had recently rained, that shit better be
Speaker 1: getting wet. That's all I'm saying. Okay, if it's not
Speaker 1: too short.
Speaker 10: This is why I say cults are overrated.
Speaker 1: But you just haven't found the right cult I think.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I was hoping she was gonna be
Speaker 3: one good one. I just can't make it today because
Speaker 3: the there's a comment coming around that we're just we
Speaker 3: really gotta got to keep our eye on.
Speaker 1: We have an update, speaking of the asteroids, were.
Speaker 10: Asteroid can I get here sooner?
Speaker 3: Sorry, not until Trump is running for his third consecutive term.
Speaker 3: That the asteroid may hit us?
Speaker 1: But yeah, we so we talked a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago about how they thought that there might be a
Speaker 1: chance that it was strike Earth. They would have further
Speaker 1: calculations like that as more data came in. They were like,
Speaker 1: but you know what, like, chances are it's just going
Speaker 1: to be going down and down, like two percent chance,
Speaker 1: we'll turn into like a one percent chance the next day,
Speaker 1: and then like further and further down, and instead it's
Speaker 1: going up, going in the wrong direction, So it really
Speaker 1: is coming. It's I mean, now it's a three percent chance.
Speaker 1: So it's so they're saying there's a chance.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got slightly different measurements, but it definitely went up.
Speaker 1: So last time we talked about it, yeah, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not the direction I was expert.
Speaker 10: You know what, The chances of us getting hit by
Speaker 10: an asteroid are the same as the chances of my
Speaker 10: getting pregnant via IVF right now.
Speaker 3: Okay, so then you're saying there's a.
Speaker 10: Chance, I'm saying there's a chance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, well, hopefully this one hits the ocean
Speaker 3: rather than being a city destroyer.
Speaker 1: But well, yes, it would be a city destroyer if
Speaker 1: it hit a city based on the size. But in
Speaker 1: the olden times, when we had like government programs and
Speaker 1: like NASA was fully fundfather, they used to be able
Speaker 1: to like land on an asteroid and explode so that
Speaker 1: it like moved enough off course that it wouldn't kill
Speaker 1: a bunch of people. I feel less confident in our
Speaker 1: ability to do that these days. For some reason, cand
Speaker 1: of just.
Speaker 10: Hit four people. Yeah, yeah, for really specific people.
Speaker 3: It justs it broke apart so small, just hit the
Speaker 3: Oval office. That's so weird, very weird.
Speaker 10: Can we call it the Luigi asteroidige?
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back. Uh So, like I said at the
Speaker 3: top of the show, the Democrats really.
Speaker 11: Let the dumbest assholes alive just waltz on in because
Speaker 11: they're absolute refusal to a come down to earth where
Speaker 11: the rest of us live and understand what's that stake
Speaker 11: for them people, And.
Speaker 3: Also just hearing generally what is anathema to someone who's
Speaker 3: vote you're trying to court, and then being like, let's
Speaker 3: just ignore that if someone puts Gaza as a reason
Speaker 3: why they are maybe questioning their support, let's just put
Speaker 3: that as like, let's just disappear that as a category
Speaker 3: so people don't did you read that thing about one
Speaker 3: of the people who work on the campaign, like how
Speaker 3: they took concern for Gaza and just like disappeared it
Speaker 3: as a category, so it wasn't really showing up in
Speaker 3: like data as it went up. Anyway, all that to say,
Speaker 3: here we are, I want to point to a few
Speaker 3: events that are just again it's so infuriating, obviously not
Speaker 3: because of how evil and like just immoral everything is,
Speaker 3: but just how stupid they are at the same time.
Speaker 3: It makes it's truly like a force multiplier for outrage.
Speaker 3: Christino the head of the Department of Homeland Security and
Speaker 3: famed K nine or I'm sorry, young K nine executioner,
Speaker 3: a puppy murderer. That's young K nine executioner. Sounds like
Speaker 3: some shit they'd say on Fox News, puppy offer. She
Speaker 3: had an exchange with Dana Bash on CNN where they
Speaker 3: were talking about how look Elon Musk it now has
Speaker 3: an obscene level of access to people's data, and Dana
Speaker 3: Bash is like, yeah, you know, I remember, I can
Speaker 3: to remember a time when people were like, weren't that
Speaker 3: into the idea of unelected perverts having access to your
Speaker 3: personal info. Let me just play this exchange, because this
Speaker 3: is again what what a moment from from Department of
Speaker 3: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. Here they are talking just
Speaker 3: going back and forth about our privacy and who we
Speaker 3: can and can't trust.
Speaker 12: Remember a time when Republicans were very careful about and
Speaker 12: worried about.
Speaker 10: The government, particularly unelected people.
Speaker 12: We can't trust having access that's our original data. Yeah,
Speaker 12: oh absolutely, you are the government. Yes, That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 12: is that the American people now are saying that we
Speaker 12: have had our personal information.
Speaker 7: You know what, I can't trust her hairstylist. Did she
Speaker 7: drag out a bumpet for nineteen ninety She's got more
Speaker 7: hair that's not hers in her head than I can count.
Speaker 7: She must have got that from the puppies that she offed,
Speaker 7: make them into a wig.
Speaker 3: Her hair is hidden switches because it's up in the back.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it's about to hit the three
Speaker 3: wheel motion going down, Slawson, man, I I just again,
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 1: Want to weave a deville.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm just trying to. I don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of hair shade I can throw at the moment.
Speaker 3: But allow me to catch up. This is this is
Speaker 3: the wildish shit. How again, reflexively the Republicans do this
Speaker 3: thing where they go, well, obviously you can't trust the government,
Speaker 3: and you're like that that just can you can you
Speaker 3: say that one more time, because uh, just let me
Speaker 3: hear that one more time from your mouth.
Speaker 12: We can't trust having access that's original data. Yeah, oh
Speaker 12: absolutely you are. Yes, That's what I'm saying, is that.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I know you fucking, absolute, absolute zero of a person.
Speaker 3: That Again, she's like, yeah, and that's what I'm saying
Speaker 3: about the government. She goes on to now just fully
Speaker 3: panic pivot to I don't know, I think something about Elon.
Speaker 3: Let me just hear the rest of our answer.
Speaker 12: The American people now are saying that we have had
Speaker 12: our personal information.
Speaker 10: Shared and out there has access to it.
Speaker 12: Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping
Speaker 12: us identify where we can find savings and what we
Speaker 12: can do.
Speaker 3: And he has says savings like we were cutting coupons
Speaker 3: and ship Yeah, what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Axing whole agencies and like, well, he's here to help
Speaker 3: us find savings and I don't know.
Speaker 7: Things where Tesla's are extremely expensive. Elon Musk has never
Speaker 7: used a coupon in his life. Savings off rockets over
Speaker 7: Austin just because he farted in the afternoon. Do you
Speaker 7: know many much money that costs, say.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, and by that I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: preventing people and developing nations from getting you know, things
Speaker 3: that make like life saving medication and things like I'm
Speaker 3: sorry saving life, I'm sorry life saving.
Speaker 7: My bad.
Speaker 3: Bad Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah bad.
Speaker 13: He's also it's so funny because it's like the basically
Speaker 13: the main time he's gotten to do this wholesale is
Speaker 13: with Twitter, which was a disaster that he has lost
Speaker 13: so much money on.
Speaker 8: Right, like, like the the basic, the tangible time he
Speaker 8: has done this very thing worked so badly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like.
Speaker 8: He's he's just like like everything he touches turns to ship.
Speaker 1: It's really amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's like the thing. I guess we
Speaker 3: can take comfort in how predictable this is going to go,
Speaker 3: that it's just going to break everything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean, because again, this man is not a genius.
Speaker 3: He just stumbled upon my very stupid and because of
Speaker 3: his ability to be completely you know, just like sociopath
Speaker 3: ethic in his pursuit of influence and things like that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: he emerges in these places that somebody like, oh, well
Speaker 3: he must be really smart. Meanwhile, was like I'm bringing
Speaker 3: a sync to this office and I'm going to break
Speaker 3: the thing and now it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now and now we have this before.
Speaker 3: He doesn't know how to build anything. He don't kind
Speaker 3: of know things.
Speaker 7: Unless it just involves including a back door where Russian
Speaker 7: hackers can come and get sure of your data. Like
Speaker 7: he's very good at that. He's great at that.
Speaker 3: Door. Open, just yeah, door, It's like, yeah, just literally
Speaker 3: the front door. Just in the front door like this
Speaker 3: and they won't even notice.
Speaker 1: Just do that.
Speaker 7: Actually, he's just kicked all the walls out. He's like,
Speaker 7: now we just have studs.
Speaker 3: And there's no doors walls. It's more of like a
Speaker 3: pagoda sort of thing. Yeah, open, come on in from
Speaker 3: any angle. Honestly, there's nothing whatever you need.
Speaker 8: That is that is the favored architecture of these fucking Nazis.
Speaker 8: It's just a big acropolis and big open six columns
Speaker 8: and no walls.
Speaker 1: Right right right, yeah, yeah, come on come on in.
Speaker 3: So again, Yeah, there you are, you're you're your your
Speaker 3: your habit of constant like we can't trust the government.
Speaker 3: You ended up saying that ship when you are the
Speaker 3: fucking head of Homeland Security. But again, but I do
Speaker 3: believe it when you say it, Christine, No, we cannot
Speaker 3: trust you at all.
Speaker 8: I do like how we're sort of speed running the
Speaker 8: incompetence of the first trumpet, or not incompetence, but inability
Speaker 8: to govern four people. Like I think it took until
Speaker 8: like COVID for people to be like, oh, these fucks really.
Speaker 1: Can't do this, sure, sure, yeah, And now we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna get there in like, you know, less than a year.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I think once whatever fucking weird bird
Speaker 3: flu thing that's gonna probably end up popping up because
Speaker 3: we're turning our backs on science. And then again they'll
Speaker 3: probably just blame joke. Well they'll they'll do that.
Speaker 8: But it is like, you know, like like it's I
Speaker 8: don't know, it's either gonna be.
Speaker 3: Polio or a depression or measles is already popping off
Speaker 3: right now. You're seeing clusters of measles outbreaks because it's
Speaker 3: the fucking nineteenth century.
Speaker 1: But anyways, coming.
Speaker 3: Back, oh it is, it is. But meanwhile, you have
Speaker 3: Senator Katie Britt from Alabama. I don't know if y'all
Speaker 3: remember her. She was the tired ass want to be
Speaker 3: like soap opera actor that gave that weird response to
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's last State of the Union where she was
Speaker 3: like in a kid, She's like, I'm really worried. It
Speaker 3: was just like the most labored monologue we'd ever seen. Well,
Speaker 3: she loved the first few weeks of the new regime,
Speaker 3: but then I guess she also found out how the
Speaker 3: government works, and when Trump and Musk made cuts to
Speaker 3: the National Institutes of Health, and how those cuts would
Speaker 3: hit Alabama, her home state, pretty hard. She began to
Speaker 3: be like, oh, wait, okay, ho, what's going on? So
Speaker 3: on Friday night of last week, quote, the NIH announced
Speaker 3: it was cutting payments toward overhead costs for research institutions
Speaker 3: that receive its grants, a policy that could leave universities
Speaker 3: with major budget gaps. The Associated Pressure reported Currently some
Speaker 3: universities receive fifty percent or more of the total amount
Speaker 3: of a grant to put towards support staff and other needs.
Speaker 3: This would now be capped at fifteen percent. So this
Speaker 3: is huge, Like in like, the people in Alabama, especially
Speaker 3: the ones that work at the universities, are like just
Speaker 3: so you know, like, the University of Alabama is the
Speaker 3: largest employer in the.
Speaker 1: State, Okay, we need.
Speaker 3: Every single dollar we can get. Budget cuts like this
Speaker 3: are not wanted, especially within a system that is like
Speaker 3: again so dependent on federal funds. Katie Britt is now
Speaker 3: sort of like, I don't know if you can even
Speaker 3: call this oppose the cuts, but clearly felt the pressure
Speaker 3: from constituents like to be like you should say something.
Speaker 3: This is like you're gonna completely fuck us over.
Speaker 1: She said.
Speaker 3: Quote every set of harder and taxpayer money should be
Speaker 3: spent efficiently, judiciously, and accountably without accept While.
Speaker 14: The administration works to achieve this goal at NH, a
Speaker 14: smart targeted approach is needed in order to not hinder
Speaker 14: life saving, groundbreaking research at high achieving institutions like those
Speaker 14: in Alabama.
Speaker 7: Yeah, hilarious to me because it's like every other dollar
Speaker 7: that they make that is not come to the government
Speaker 7: just goes to Alabama football, right, Like role motherfucking tied.
Speaker 7: We have football, but we need people to think we
Speaker 7: do other things shape to Alabama in any way, shape
Speaker 7: or form.
Speaker 3: And it's funny you bring up, you know, the storied
Speaker 3: football program of Alabama because their other senator, Tommy coach
Speaker 3: Tommy Tuberville, who acts like he has CTE without actually
Speaker 3: playing football somehow is just telling people to relax because quote,
Speaker 3: this is when they asked again, They're like, sir, this
Speaker 3: could affect you know, the universities in your home state.
Speaker 3: How do you what do you think of Elon's fucking rampage.
Speaker 3: He goes on and say, quote, Elon Musk is a
Speaker 3: genius with a proven track record of making businesses more
Speaker 3: cost efficient. We should be thanking him for being willing
Speaker 3: to serve our country in this way.
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, I mean the thing that is nice is
Speaker 8: that this is literally the facts. Don't care about your
Speaker 8: feelings crowd realizing that red states are takers, they take
Speaker 8: money from actually productive states and people sure and distribute
Speaker 8: like this is this is like what actually like like
Speaker 8: they have this like myth that it's all like you know,
Speaker 8: urban poor people of color who are taking all their money,
Speaker 8: and it is literally not true.
Speaker 3: So they are just finding out what happens.
Speaker 1: We need that money.
Speaker 3: They're like, what do y'all think y'all are kicking into
Speaker 3: the federal government? What what industry you're thriving? That's why
Speaker 3: like yeah, you know when people are like, well we'll
Speaker 3: cut off phones to California. They're like, we'll stop sending
Speaker 3: you money. Motherfucker. Who's gonna pay for Kentucky. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: truly the let's go, like, let's fucking go. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: it's again thank god that they were, you know, gradually
Speaker 3: defunded all of the education programs in the United States
Speaker 3: because yeah, no one has any idea how the government
Speaker 3: works or how anything works, so they're just again have
Speaker 3: Like I said this last week, like what my idea
Speaker 3: of how electricity worked as a kid was, It just
Speaker 3: came out of my wall. Like I didn't know there
Speaker 3: was a whole grid and there was a power plant
Speaker 3: and resources that were extracted to create that. I just thought, yeah,
Speaker 3: you just plug it in there and then the TV
Speaker 3: comes on. It does there's more to it.
Speaker 7: And that's how most people think about government spending as well.
Speaker 7: They kind of see taxes as sort of like working
Speaker 7: at a restaurant having to pull your tips and unless
Speaker 7: you're fucking your boss, you're not going to get a
Speaker 7: bigger chunk, right, Like it's just and it's like it
Speaker 7: kind of is that way, but it's also like a
Speaker 7: little bit more complicated, and it's like the wait, how
Speaker 7: come the dishwasher only got that. Oh well, I'm I'm
Speaker 7: a server. Is the dishwasher not more important than the server?
Speaker 7: Like that's basically how our states treat each other.
Speaker 1: Yeeah yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, tune in next week when they figure out
Speaker 3: what pasteurization is. I think quite literally, we'll get to
Speaker 3: that story a little bit later. So again, this mission
Speaker 3: Musk is on is to again cut wasteful without on
Speaker 3: these quotes here, cut wasteful spending and help us be
Speaker 3: more efficient and bring prices down too, because the government
Speaker 3: will be so good at doing different efficiencies that your
Speaker 3: eggs will be the price that they were when the
Speaker 3: segregation was still happening. When Brett Bayer asked Trump on
Speaker 3: Fox directly, he's like, hey, hey, motherfucker, remember how you
Speaker 3: were like, Hey, the prices are gonna come down. You're
Speaker 3: gonna love it. That's the whole point of all this shit.
Speaker 3: We're gonna make shit affordable. Trump predictably gave a non answer.
Speaker 3: So here's his answer to all of the people who
Speaker 3: voted for him. Hey, when prices come down, well, get
Speaker 3: ready for this.
Speaker 7: One all goes to plan.
Speaker 15: When do you think families would be able to feel
Speaker 15: prices going down grocers energy or are you kind of
Speaker 15: staying to them hang on and may get worse until
Speaker 15: it gets better.
Speaker 7: No, I think we're gonna become a rich Look, we're
Speaker 7: not that rich right now.
Speaker 1: We have thirty six trillion dollars.
Speaker 7: That's because we let all these nations.
Speaker 3: Take advantage of us.
Speaker 15: Same thing, like two hundred billion with Canada, whille three hundred.
Speaker 15: We have a deficit with Mexico of three hundred and
Speaker 15: fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna let okay happen.
Speaker 7: What he said.
Speaker 3: I like how Brett Bahar did the thing too, with
Speaker 3: like an elderly family member is like, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you the answer you can say as
Speaker 3: part of the question, so you don't have to just
Speaker 3: straight up say the prices is gonna go up?
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 3: He said, let me just again.
Speaker 1: We heard it.
Speaker 3: You know, we're comedians. We like to listen. But I'll
Speaker 3: just again for the people in the back listen Brette Baar.
Speaker 3: Really he did a nice lob up to Trump here,
Speaker 3: but he's still he's still fucked it up.
Speaker 15: All goost a plan. When do you think families would
Speaker 15: be able to feel prices going down grocer's energy or day.
Speaker 3: Or are you kind of saying to them or motherfucker
Speaker 3: say that this right now? Are you saying that is such?
Speaker 15: Hang on, inflation may get worse until it.
Speaker 3: No, I think, no, No, we're not rich.
Speaker 7: We got We're not rich. We're not rich enough. We
Speaker 7: don't we don't have enough money, We're not rich enough.
Speaker 3: He first of all, he doesn't even know what a
Speaker 3: trade deficit is. You know, this isn't Yeah, he's like,
Speaker 3: it's like it's like three hundred. That's because we're importing
Speaker 3: more things than they are buying. That's that's what's going
Speaker 3: on there. It's not just like everything is unfair. I
Speaker 3: mean more more.
Speaker 8: Than even the first term. Like, the best thing I
Speaker 8: think I find to like like confront Trump people with
Speaker 8: is like, do you think Donald Trump is smarter than you?
Speaker 8: Mm hmm, Because they're you know, that's they have to
Speaker 8: like like merge the hero worship with the like patent idiocy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is because I'm pretty sure you seem
Speaker 3: like a smart person.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you seem like smart The dumbest motherfucker that
Speaker 8: has ever existed.
Speaker 7: I mean, are you kid not to counter that though?
Speaker 7: I mean there's also I mean around here, there's lots
Speaker 7: of people that they like him because he's not smarter
Speaker 7: than right, Yeah, that's what it is, where they're like this,
Speaker 7: I can understand what this guy is saying, which is nothing.
Speaker 7: He's talking around the house right right, Yeah, you know
Speaker 7: what I mean?
Speaker 3: That Scott is the president? Yes, yeah, I just think
Speaker 3: it's entertaining, hilarious, and that dude's dumb as hell, and
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 7: I kind of like that. I feel like that's what.
Speaker 3: We need right now. Someone dumber than me who thinks
Speaker 3: that just comes out of the walls. I mean again,
Speaker 3: this would normally be some kind of gotcha moment, but
Speaker 3: let's remind ourselves that would require Trump to actually give
Speaker 3: a fuck about anything he says or think that hypocrisy
Speaker 3: is bad. These people are craven, goblin freaks who just
Speaker 3: want to you're asking, Yeah, you're asking a lot. Well,
Speaker 3: let's let's swing the focus, uh to Nashville actually, where
Speaker 3: human asscab kid Rock recently crashed. Let me just this
Speaker 3: is a long sentence. He crashed John bon Jovi's keyboard
Speaker 3: Player's birthday party, in Nashville at a bar that I
Speaker 3: think John bon Jovi himself owns. This dude was absolutely pissed,
Speaker 3: as they say in the UK, just drunk as shit
Speaker 3: when he took the stage and was like, let's see
Speaker 3: Proud Mary in g.
Speaker 1: And You're like, oh, fuck bro.
Speaker 3: Like when someone who is musical's talent I do not
Speaker 3: respect is like now saying what key they want to sing?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, this is good. This shit is
Speaker 1: gonna be good, baby.
Speaker 3: But I think all the beers made his like inner
Speaker 3: monologue louder, which I assume just like a constant barrage.
Speaker 7: Of shit, like you ain't shit. They all know you
Speaker 7: have no talent. You're a fake ass blue collar LARPer.
Speaker 3: Your hair looks like cooked angel hair pasta that was
Speaker 3: left out in the sun and dried out again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he.
Speaker 3: Noticed that people just weren't into his terrible karaoke and
Speaker 3: you hate to see this again, maybe we do love
Speaker 3: to see it. Let's see kid rock in action. Come on, start,
Speaker 3: get the audience going, Oh, he's a clap, you'll clap.
Speaker 3: Oh he missed the first clap?
Speaker 1: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa? What happened?
Speaker 11: Kid?
Speaker 1: Clap?
Speaker 3: H first of the fucking ball is on this guy.
Speaker 3: He can't even clap.
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 3: Look at that miss this one? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?
Speaker 3: What come on now, clap with me? Show me how
Speaker 3: to please?
Speaker 7: Nowhere near the beat. They have slowed that song, which
Speaker 7: is already slow, and I'll say it ramps up. God
Speaker 7: blessed that singer. There's no way she could slow it
Speaker 7: down anymore. Whoa Like there's like six counts between every
Speaker 7: strum of a fucking instrument happening right now. It's like
Speaker 7: very much one two, I listen.
Speaker 3: I love DJ Screws, so this is perfect for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one.
Speaker 3: See if this was in Houston, that might have played
Speaker 3: a little bit differently, but this is Nashville Music City,
Speaker 3: and so people some people clapped, other people were like,
Speaker 3: why the fuck did he just stop the song? But
Speaker 3: I still want to skip ahead because he got a
Speaker 3: baby about a minute of people kind of clapping before
Speaker 3: they were like probably talking to each other like is
Speaker 3: this motherfucker for real? I know he sounds like shit.
Speaker 3: And then he had a bit of I guess a meltdown, hissy,
Speaker 3: I don't know, whatever you want to call it. He
Speaker 3: had a bit of a Jeb Bush moment when they
Speaker 3: did not please clap. But here here's that moment where
Speaker 3: he's like, no, I'm off this ship.
Speaker 5: Come on y'all clatform platform.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Do you think he was actually upset or maybe he
Speaker 3: just forgot the next verse and he.
Speaker 7: Was I think he was probably actually upset. I think
Speaker 7: he also didn't realize he wasn't in his bar, right, Yeah, Yes,
Speaker 7: he owns a bar in downtown Nashville, and he does.
Speaker 7: He owns a big bar and a big honky tonk
Speaker 7: in downtown Nashville. Infamously loves to go to after he's
Speaker 7: been to other places all fucked up, and he loves
Speaker 7: to show that there and loves to take over the
Speaker 7: stage and start performing and doing things. So I would
Speaker 7: bet money that he did not realize he was not
Speaker 7: in his own bar and was very upset that he
Speaker 7: was not getting the same respawn that he normally gets
Speaker 7: in that state in his bar, right, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean? Maybe the the JB. John bon job. I
Speaker 7: can't say John bon Jovi, is that right? Why do
Speaker 7: I want to put a V in there? I want
Speaker 7: to say John Bonham. I don't know why I'm well,
Speaker 7: I'm conflating my rock stars.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's apparently a really good led Zeppelin documentary that's
Speaker 3: about to come out.
Speaker 7: I've actually heard about that too. Yeah, yeah, I need
Speaker 7: to watch that. But uh yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I
Speaker 7: have been I've had the pleasure question mark swiggle of
Speaker 7: sharing space, being in the same place and space as
Speaker 7: as our friend Kid rock in various states of fucked
Speaker 7: up inness. Yeah, Bob's Bob's a menace. I'll say that
Speaker 7: that probably won't win many favorites here in Nashville, but
Speaker 7: Bob's a little bit of a mess.
Speaker 3: Well, look, you not a fan. You will not be
Speaker 3: drunkenly singing proud Mary John bon Jovi's bar again. Okay,
Speaker 3: I certainly won't.
Speaker 7: And I used leave those spaces because your girl doesn't
Speaker 7: drink anymore. So I'm just like when when I walk
Speaker 7: in somewhere and that dude's there, I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 7: is not my party. There is definitely gonna be corocade
Speaker 7: and a lot more drinking going on here, and I
Speaker 7: need to leave.
Speaker 3: Not a substance on earth that makes that palatable, I think,
Speaker 3: in any anyway. But yeah, it's I do like the
Speaker 3: idea that he's so drunk. Maybe he thought he was
Speaker 3: because the way he disrespected this dude's birthday too, Like
Speaker 3: he just sounded like stopping the song.
Speaker 16: It's like, hold on, hold on, hold on, he's motherfucking
Speaker 16: down copit and then be like, you know what, fuck
Speaker 16: this The guy, the guy who's like the keeper players like, bro,
Speaker 16: this is not even your is this.
Speaker 7: No one even if you just happened to be here.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is my fucking bar.
Speaker 3: You guys, get out of my fucking honkey's tong They're like,
Speaker 3: this is John Bonge. Oh you, oh okay, this isn't
Speaker 3: your bar, Bob.
Speaker 7: You know this isn't your place, dude, call me Bob Rob.
Speaker 7: It's not, it's not. It's not for you, honey.
Speaker 3: But you know what, Despite that, there are rumors of
Speaker 3: him and Lauren Bobert hooking up after the inauguration. So
Speaker 3: if you need god, just imagine the breath between those two.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, just bud light, cigarettes and cocaine, like calvita. Yeah, cocaine, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they got cocaine breath. The very very specific, very specific thing.
Speaker 3: They got cocaine beer breath with Elvita. That's yep, yep,
Speaker 3: and I'm about to pass out. And I'm so sorry
Speaker 3: to any listeners that just did just by us evocate.
Speaker 7: I fell a little ill. Even my dogs started barking.
Speaker 7: They're like, bro, let's just like please.
Speaker 3: Bro, like, just just let's just put some like core
Speaker 3: form over my face. I don't think about this ship right,
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to
Speaker 3: talk about a thing again. I wasn't joking that Republicans
Speaker 3: are probably going to find out about pasteurization right after this, and.
Speaker 1: We're back and right, right, guys, big, So these shelved
Speaker 1: movies we've talked about, like Acme Versus Coyote or whatever.
Speaker 1: That one is the Will Forte movie that was completed,
Speaker 1: and then Zaslov from HBO Max was just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna kill this and nobody's ever gonna
Speaker 1: get to see it.
Speaker 3: It was that and Batgirl, right, We're like, yeah, let's
Speaker 3: just take the tax loss on that one.
Speaker 1: I'm a big mcgruber head, so I was said that
Speaker 1: that's the Acme one is the one that really sticks
Speaker 1: with me. But so there's now two more movies that
Speaker 1: are going away, not because of David Zaslov fortunately, but
Speaker 1: first I just wanted to ask, like was this something
Speaker 1: that ever happened before? Like this is knew right, like
Speaker 1: that there were like albums that were completed and like
Speaker 1: withheld for a long time, and like book there's like
Speaker 1: all sorts of legendary books that like got lost. Well,
Speaker 1: like I think like Hemingway's like first manuscript got lost
Speaker 1: or something like that. But like movies, I feel like
Speaker 1: if they could complete a movie and put it out
Speaker 1: in theaters, they were going to like find a way
Speaker 1: to do it. Like Bruce Lee died halfway through making
Speaker 1: his last movie and they just like put somebody in
Speaker 1: like a wig and like shot him from behind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's bizarre because it's like it's something about their taxes,
Speaker 6: because you'd think if you put the capital into completing
Speaker 6: the movie that's already sunk in costs, that you would
Speaker 6: be put it out to get your ROI. But there's something,
Speaker 6: there's something happening where the tax exemption is bigger. So
Speaker 6: that's the motivation for not releasing because it's been happening
Speaker 6: now for like four to five years, and it's really
Speaker 6: sad for the industry and a lot of and it's.
Speaker 1: Like when I hear that like that, well it's tax implications.
Speaker 1: Like part of me is like, don't say anything. They're like,
Speaker 1: it's just too smart, it's too complicated, you don't understand it,
Speaker 1: Just shut up. But like part of me is, I
Speaker 1: feel like we should just be like, well, that's a
Speaker 1: dumb system. Then, like if the incentive is such like,
Speaker 1: then that's too complicated and it like is making the
Speaker 1: people who have the power to make big decisions do
Speaker 1: stupid stuff like that, that's bad. So even whether it
Speaker 1: does make financial sense or not, like, then that means
Speaker 1: the system is fucking stupid. Yeah, would be my contention.
Speaker 3: I'm just reading a list of movies that were completed
Speaker 3: not release. There's some There's a movie called All Star
Speaker 3: Weekend with Jamie Fox and Jeremy Piven. Oh, The hair
Speaker 3: Plug All Stars The hair Plug All Star Weekend with
Speaker 3: Jamie Fox and Jeremy Piven, But apparently it like was shelved.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to come out with the during the
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen All Star Game about these two guys who
Speaker 3: win tickets to the All Star Game NBA All Star Game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they were like the post didn't like begin until
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, and then in twenty twenty two, Quote Fox
Speaker 3: confirmed the film was shelved. While promoting the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two film, Day Shift expressed the difficulties of getting the
Speaker 3: movie released in the present day comedy landscape. So I'm
Speaker 3: guessing so this was supposed to release in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: This something happened in twenty twenty, in which case they said, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know what, maybe we don't put this out. Apparently
Speaker 3: Robert Downey Junior was in it, and he plays a
Speaker 3: Mexican man also, and some people were like, maybe that's
Speaker 3: what it is, but there was never a reason.
Speaker 1: Yes, again, let's blame the comedy climate and not their
Speaker 1: terrible decision for casting Robert Downey Junior once again in
Speaker 1: Brown or Blackfaith.
Speaker 3: There's a picture from this set. He looks like Mickey
Speaker 3: Rourke more than anything in this picture right here.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ, that's at Robert. That really problematic.
Speaker 4: She does look like Mickey Rourick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, does any of you guys ever say that I
Speaker 6: look like Mickey Rourick in a picture? You don't understand
Speaker 6: the devastation that that's a legal read for you, No
Speaker 6: leg that was one. You can't come back to get
Speaker 6: back my bags and leave town. If you ever say
Speaker 6: I look like Mickey Rourick.
Speaker 1: You're giving pisshund for twenty too much.
Speaker 4: Power whatever street for he's my best friend.
Speaker 1: No, I was talking about pisshound for twenty different different
Speaker 1: guys different that's Jack Guy, which is secretly all right.
Speaker 1: So two new movies that will not be ever coming out.
Speaker 1: One I can kind of see it, all right. So
Speaker 1: the first one is Pharrell's autobiographical musical about his childhood,
Speaker 1: The Lego One, not the Lego One Miles because and
Speaker 1: this is news to me, the Lego One came out
Speaker 1: last year, came out that dropped on all of our
Speaker 1: ass and it did not do baffo bio. It did
Speaker 1: offo bo oh. No, it was not did not do
Speaker 1: very well. Three million, three mil at It was its
Speaker 1: first week out, and it had a campaign like it
Speaker 1: it was playing as a trailer before a lot of
Speaker 1: big movies.
Speaker 3: I mean as a concept. It was I was like,
Speaker 3: who is this war and why do indeed, why does anyone?
Speaker 3: I mean, I love I'm a huge Pharrell Williams fan,
Speaker 3: like from his time in the Neptunes and stuff. But
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I don't. I don't need to see
Speaker 3: a lego depiction of his life.
Speaker 6: I would have watched it, and I probably will now
Speaker 6: that I know it exists.
Speaker 1: It existed out there. Yeah, you should have seen it
Speaker 1: in theaters because now we're not getting a second Pharrell autobiography.
Speaker 1: The thanks a lot, Blair.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I do love a Lego movie like I am
Speaker 6: a fan.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Batman Lego movie is a blessed so good.
Speaker 1: So this one is not a Lego movie, although it's
Speaker 1: directed by Michelle Gondry of The Eternal Sunshine of the
Speaker 1: Spotless Mind and like the the thing I knew him
Speaker 1: for most before Eternal.
Speaker 3: Migue music video Come Into My World that.
Speaker 1: Made Miles cry for recently.
Speaker 3: Want to know, can't get you out of my head.
Speaker 1: Was the White Stripes video where they are made of legos.
Speaker 3: So was it fell in Love with a Girl?
Speaker 1: What is it? Yeah? I think it was fell in
Speaker 1: Love with a girl. But it's so again like Farrell
Speaker 1: was just like I'm gonna it. Really feels like Farrell
Speaker 1: was in in talks trying to decide between two biopics.
Speaker 1: One was a Lego movie, one was with the guy
Speaker 1: who made the Lego music video, and he was like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, We're gonna do both of these. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna keep going with both of them, to the point
Speaker 1: that we had like a Armageddon deep impact situation of
Speaker 1: Pharrell autobiographies coming out, and they've decided to shelve the
Speaker 1: second one because nobody saw the first one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, I'm surprised it was them, you know,
Speaker 3: because like again, the other examples are like the studios,
Speaker 3: We're like, bro, we cannot put the shit out, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And I like how Michelle Gondry
Speaker 3: and Farrell are like no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: So in this case, they were like, we went into
Speaker 1: the edit bay, we realized that there was no way
Speaker 1: to make a good movie out of what we had here,
Speaker 1: and we've decided to not do this. So this is wild.
Speaker 3: They had Janelle Monet, Holly Berry, Yes, fucking Brian Tyree, Henry,
Speaker 3: Missy Elliott, Quintam Brunson, Jabouki Young White, Yeah, okay, the
Speaker 3: fucking Twitter lord, Like, I mean, this is such a
Speaker 3: such an l for a filmmaker to make a fucking
Speaker 3: movie to completion, take it into post and then say
Speaker 3: quote during the editing process, they collectively decided there wasn't
Speaker 3: a path forward to tell the version of this story
Speaker 3: that we originally envisioned. That's what a script is for,
Speaker 3: just as.
Speaker 7: That's the thing.
Speaker 1: Like, so there's this bias within Hollywood that it's like
Speaker 1: writers are kind of like the tertiary. You know, you
Speaker 1: have the directors, you have the actors, and like producers
Speaker 1: oversee everything, but like and then the writer is just
Speaker 1: like down below, you know, just a hired hand, hired gun.
Speaker 1: You go back and like read the script for like
Speaker 1: great movies and it's like, yo, this is all there,
Speaker 1: Like every everything that was great about this is on
Speaker 1: the page. And you go back and read a script
Speaker 1: for a shitting movie and a lot of times like
Speaker 1: it's better than what ended up coming out on screen.
Speaker 1: Like but yeah, that is they might have wanted to
Speaker 1: figure this out at the scripting stage, all right. So
Speaker 1: that's one I probably wasn't going to see. Do you
Speaker 1: think I have to see? The Legos one, by the way,
Speaker 1: did not get like terrible reviews. It's like in the
Speaker 1: sixties on Metacritic.
Speaker 3: So I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the movies are good. I think everybody was checking
Speaker 1: for that one too specific, like very specific.
Speaker 3: Kids are like Batman, yay, They're like, what about Farrell Williams.
Speaker 3: They're like the guy who's saying the despicable despicable me, no, no, noable,
Speaker 3: stop it, don't let me finish. The old man who
Speaker 3: has a fan, who has fantastic skin, who barely ages
Speaker 3: that guy, what do you mean barely ages? Okay, maybe
Speaker 3: that's morely important to me?
Speaker 1: Yeah it Maybe.
Speaker 3: We don't need to see this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's usually a bad sign when you're doing
Speaker 1: a pitch of a children's movie to kids and you
Speaker 1: keep having to scream, can I finish?
Speaker 7: Let me finish? All right? This one.
Speaker 1: I'm bummed out about this next one though. Netflix just
Speaker 1: canceled a nine hour documentary about Prince directed by Ezra Edelman,
Speaker 1: who won the Oscar for the OJ maide in America movie.
Speaker 1: Did you guys watch OJ maide in America? That shit
Speaker 1: was so good?
Speaker 4: Was that that one a while ago?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I did watch that one. I didn't watch
Speaker 4: the new one.
Speaker 1: So this was He's been working on it for the
Speaker 1: past five years. This is what he like followed up
Speaker 1: the OJ one with, was this Prince documentary. It's nine hours.
Speaker 1: It was going to be a complete banger. And then
Speaker 1: and he was like granted access to Prince's entire archive
Speaker 1: known as the Vault, and had permission from his estate.
Speaker 1: And then the estate changed administration and Netflix, the Netflix
Speaker 1: exect who greenlit the movie left the company and now
Speaker 1: they're killing the project. So this dude just made a
Speaker 1: documentary that The New York Times like a journalist got
Speaker 1: to see it and was like, this is a cursed
Speaker 1: mass or peace Wow, And yeah, I mean the stuff
Speaker 1: we're going to learn some stuff about Prince which anybody
Speaker 1: who's been paying attention probably had a sense that it
Speaker 1: was there. But allegations of physical assault from his ex girlfriend,
Speaker 1: descriptions of his addiction to painkillers, and criticisms of certain
Speaker 1: lyrics as anti semitic. But that now they're going to
Speaker 1: take another pass at it with with the approval of
Speaker 1: Prince of the State, And could you imagine how sanitized
Speaker 1: it becomes like and he was a prince, that was it.
Speaker 3: They called him Prince Prince and everyone lived happily.
Speaker 6: Ever after, let's shut to the that one was because
Speaker 6: someone on Prince's side like found a way to get
Speaker 6: it killed to protect his legacy or oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 6: because I was gonna say, with the last five years,
Speaker 6: with the state of our industry, the film entertainment industry,
Speaker 6: I've experienced this several times where there's so many layoffs
Speaker 6: at the executive that you're developing something with for like
Speaker 6: a year or two, all of a sudden poof, they're
Speaker 6: gone in the projects immediately.
Speaker 3: Dead right right exactly. I mean that was a huge
Speaker 3: thing when HBO Max, like that whole Discovery thing. So
Speaker 3: many people had shit eventually about to be piloted, have
Speaker 3: things greenlit. Then all those executives like, hey, man, do
Speaker 3: you know anywhere that's high Yeah exactly. I was about
Speaker 3: to ask you.
Speaker 7: If you know somewhere else?
Speaker 6: Yeah, And like the mergers and the whole like like
Speaker 6: streamers and companies not even existing any I mean, it's
Speaker 6: just been crazy.
Speaker 3: It's just La feels like and I think this is
Speaker 3: a this is a very specific to La Vibe thing,
Speaker 3: but I think people just outside of La should probably understand,
Speaker 3: like this city feels like it's dying. I don't know
Speaker 3: if people are aware. It feels like like like you know,
Speaker 3: when factory jobs were like there's the work is gone.
Speaker 3: There's some many people having like CRISI is about to like,
Speaker 3: I'm an editor, but there's nothing to edit edit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I can't go anywhere. I'm a writer. There's nothing
Speaker 3: to write or that. That whole industry is being so
Speaker 3: it's like in such a state of chaos right now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like there's just a huge dimension of the city
Speaker 3: that's like lost at the moment that it's very fucking eerie.
Speaker 3: I got to say, it's yelling.
Speaker 4: A lot of people are leaving the business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know people that are like I used to
Speaker 3: do this, I'm going to be a warrior now. Yeah.
Speaker 6: People have been in the business for a really long
Speaker 6: time and yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's yeah anyways, changes I'm a.
Speaker 1: Birthday party like the Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters too, children's birthday parties.
