Speaker 3: Actually been really hard on me. Yeah much, your brave,
Speaker 3: your brain, Yeah, I really am. It's like a lot
Speaker 3: of people probably have like pieced out by now, because like, wow,
Speaker 3: that's a lot of trauma to happen to someone I
Speaker 3: know so much.
Speaker 1: Trauma just dropped off huge palettes of uncomfortable toilet paper,
Speaker 1: and we're like, my job here is done. Yeah, cracking knuckles,
Speaker 1: Yeah all right. That it was such a great example
Speaker 1: of somebody's like just bad intentions poorly or like good
Speaker 1: intentions poorly executed, just being like you're actually hurting more
Speaker 1: than you're helping.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's literally the can drive of experiences, right, because
Speaker 3: it's like no one wants the fucking expired cans you're
Speaker 3: bringing Okay, no one wants that shit. Yeah, do you
Speaker 3: bring the stuff you would want to eat? Okay, not
Speaker 3: like fucking green beans from like eighteen seventy two.
Speaker 2: I gotta no one wants that. I got a whole
Speaker 2: case of novelty Trump toilet paper from the first administration too.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you're gonna love this, man.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think it's pretty fun. Well, Sophia,
Speaker 1: we're thrilled to have you. We're going to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell the people a couple of things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're going to talk about how Donald
Speaker 1: Trump gots to have a burner phone. He's just constantly
Speaker 1: on the phone. He his phone time is out of control.
Speaker 1: You guys, we need to talk about Donald's phone time.
Speaker 1: It is out of control and nobody's stopping him, and
Speaker 1: he's just getting calls from anyone. His number is out there.
Speaker 1: We can call the president.
Speaker 2: I'm just have one question.
Speaker 3: What about the emails though.
Speaker 2: We'll get there.
Speaker 3: We'll get okay, just.
Speaker 2: Thank you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you know how to use the internet, you
Speaker 1: can call the president and uh, he will say who's
Speaker 1: calling who's that. Literally he answers the phone, who's calling?
Speaker 3: And he answer. I think he's like, who's calling?
Speaker 2: It feels it feels like it's I like to think
Speaker 2: of him as like a little boy who would always
Speaker 2: race to the phone and like, I've got it. Who's calling?
Speaker 3: It's for you, daddy. It's his favorite thing next to
Speaker 3: pushing the elevator button.
Speaker 1: We let him push the elevator button and do phone
Speaker 1: pretty close. Very few temper tantrums. Anyways, we'll talk about that,
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how bloomers are getting the high again generally,
Speaker 1: how things are going for the Trump administration, and we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about the new FEMA head who just
Speaker 1: seems like.
Speaker 3: With hurricanes though it's like a myth, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well what.
Speaker 2: A joke he he is.
Speaker 1: I think he did know what it was, but he
Speaker 1: just is one of those people who doesn't know, like
Speaker 1: is just trying to make a joke. For him, is
Speaker 1: like trying to speak in a foreign language. He's just
Speaker 1: like trying to vibe out like like we were talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, And so he did a he did a
Speaker 1: joke by being like I said a thing that wasn't true,
Speaker 1: And that's the best case scenario. But it's because he's
Speaker 1: he's actually an artist at heart. Why are they all
Speaker 1: fucking failed painters? Damned painters?
Speaker 3: Can I say that if we didn't learn that lesson
Speaker 3: with Hitler? Like I don't know when we're going to
Speaker 3: learn it or never, Like if it's a failed painter,
Speaker 3: like put them to the side, they can run.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 2: Okay, George Bush, you killed like a million people? What
Speaker 2: about you? Also? Failed painter? People are gonna be like folks,
Speaker 2: They're going to be like, oh, isn't that quaint?
Speaker 1: After the fact, Yeah, he kind of got the bug
Speaker 1: after killing the millions of people. He was like, what
Speaker 1: are you who killed?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You in some type of mood where you're like maybe
Speaker 3: my dog now, Yeah, that's gonna cap off this reign
Speaker 3: of terror.
Speaker 2: I just I just sick with an iPad coloring book,
Speaker 2: you know, because that's your point.
Speaker 1: I think you know what you are suggesting that art
Speaker 1: school applications like people who get in get in, and
Speaker 1: people who don't get in are just like sent to
Speaker 1: a pit somewhere. I think that's a good suggestion that
Speaker 1: we should take seriously. I'm glad you suggested it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really glad that I said pit.
Speaker 1: First, to a pit, to a pit somewhere.
Speaker 3: That is so specific.
Speaker 1: Jack Dark Knight rises.
Speaker 2: But before we get to anything, you remember.
Speaker 3: What happens after the pit. Right, that's not a good plan.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that is true. He comes out as Bane.
Speaker 3: Right, you can't do that. Then you're creating a bunch
Speaker 3: of schools.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Bane got born in the pit.
Speaker 2: He was born.
Speaker 1: That is no way a metaphor. It's just he's like,
Speaker 1: I was literally born in that pit, Bros. Like I
Speaker 1: was born there.
Speaker 3: I've literally never seen sunlight. This is not a metaphor.
Speaker 2: This is a Christopher Nolan movie.
Speaker 1: There's no metaphors. I was born in the literal darkness
Speaker 1: that you're referring to.
Speaker 2: I should really wear a hat or sunscream. My skin
Speaker 2: is not used to the sun is really burning.
Speaker 3: I wish I had sunglasses. I'm crying right now.
Speaker 1: Before we get to any of it, Sophia, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I look this up because my local bookstore
Speaker 3: was selling this like special collection of these of this music,
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is so interesting because I
Speaker 3: don't know who this is, so I looked it up.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna butcher the name because I'm not friends yet,
Speaker 3: but it's Les Realise Dnu Day, and it is the
Speaker 3: fuzz Feedback and Folklore Basically. The article I read on
Speaker 3: NPR was called the fuzz Feedback and Folklore of Japanese
Speaker 3: psych rockers Les real Oh.
Speaker 2: They're like the Japanese band with their friend's name.
Speaker 3: I've heard of them, yes, and I guess their whole
Speaker 3: thing is they tried to record an album one time
Speaker 3: and they like hated it, and so from then on
Speaker 3: they were like, we're just gonna like not do studio shit.
Speaker 3: It'll just be live shit. So all of their stuff
Speaker 3: is just live performances, and a bunch of it has
Speaker 3: been like bootlegged and put together are whatever. So it's
Speaker 3: just kind of fascinating. And I didn't know anything about them,
Speaker 3: so I looked them up.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, shit, so all live it's just all live recordings,
Speaker 1: all live albums.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 1: That's kind of an interesting way to go about things.
Speaker 3: I've never heard or thought of that idea. It's like
Speaker 3: they were just like, yeah, that's not for us. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know yourself, how did you do that?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm like if all of us had that kind of
Speaker 3: fucking self realization where I'm like, there would be like
Speaker 3: at least seventy percent fewer comedians, you know, like all
Speaker 3: this live shit is not for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not for me.
Speaker 1: I got to keep trying. Mark Marin told me I
Speaker 1: have to keep trying. I need to get my ten
Speaker 1: thousand hours of stand up in and then I'll magically
Speaker 1: be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't good though.
Speaker 3: It was not funny ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a reverse the Beatles. The Beatles were
Speaker 1: a studio only, you know, reverse miles in me. Yeah
Speaker 1: as of late oh late career studio only.
Speaker 3: I just want to say, my local bookstore, Skylight Books,
Speaker 3: and if you become a friend of the store, you
Speaker 3: get like twenty percent off, so instead of ordering shit
Speaker 3: from Amazon, you could order it from them.
Speaker 2: Boom.
Speaker 1: The ship you have to do to become a friend
Speaker 1: of the Skylight Bookstore fucking dirty.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell your bodies.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you what friends forever, which
Speaker 3: is the status that have cost me? I can't.
Speaker 2: Oh you want to be friends forever?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: We got another one.
Speaker 3: I can't even tell you what happened, but I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna like say that.
Speaker 2: It's like see orgish, right, It's like close your eyes
Speaker 2: and put your hand out. Okay, wait, is this a gun? Yep?
Speaker 2: And there's fourteen bodies on it. And now you're in
Speaker 2: the club. Guess what. We're friends, friends.
Speaker 1: Forever, friends forever.
Speaker 3: And they put a little sticker on your cheek.
Speaker 1: They're like, it's a tattoo. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? Taking classes as an adult without necessarily pursuing a degree.
Speaker 3: I think that like learning is really dope. And I
Speaker 3: am a nerd at heart, and I love a structured
Speaker 3: environment where I have a teacher and like classmates. And
Speaker 3: so I've been taking writing classes on Zoom and because
Speaker 3: I decided to design kind of my own mini MFA program.
Speaker 3: So I just found like on different websites like writing
Speaker 3: workshops and through like writers, I follow when they teach,
Speaker 3: and I kind of have been taking classes and it
Speaker 3: feels really great. And I keep announcing that I'm going
Speaker 3: to class to no one all the time. I'll worry
Speaker 3: about going to class.
Speaker 2: I gotta go.
Speaker 3: I'm going to class and I like will like my
Speaker 3: I'm a backpack, but I'm just walking to my office
Speaker 3: to be on zoom.
Speaker 2: I really like it.
Speaker 3: And I like having classmates, and I like having group
Speaker 3: like chats with your new classmates, and I like learning
Speaker 3: about people lives and I like learning new skills. And
Speaker 3: I think that if you have been on the fence
Speaker 3: about taking a class, you should absolutely do it. Community
Speaker 3: community college, zoom whatever. I mean, what a joy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I remember in like the height of lockdowns,
Speaker 2: a lot of places were just offering full courses like
Speaker 2: in video form that you could just like just mess
Speaker 2: around with and just see if if you want to
Speaker 2: take a lecture at have it or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Just having to two and a half hours a
Speaker 3: week where I like em in class and I have
Speaker 3: to pay attention to other people's like work and be
Speaker 3: really detailed and just learned stuff. It does something really
Speaker 3: good for you.
Speaker 2: I never thought them. Yeah, I never thought about recording
Speaker 2: for twenty day fiance like that, but yeah, Tom, just
Speaker 2: being open minded, seeing people through other people's eyes, really
Speaker 2: taking detailed notes then sharing them with your class. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: I in a way, I'm also taking m FA courses.
Speaker 3: We're all doing it.
Speaker 1: That's such a good idea. How did you like what
Speaker 1: was the first step you took to like start taking classes?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like I would.
Speaker 2: Like to do this and just have not.
Speaker 3: So Chloe Caldwell, who's one of my favorite writers and
Speaker 3: now a good friend, I follow her on Instagram and
Speaker 3: she was posting, Hey, I'm starting this class. This is
Speaker 3: the name of it, this is you know, how many days,
Speaker 3: this is the cost. And then I emailed her and
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I want to take that class.
Speaker 3: And then that kind of got me rolling. And I've
Speaker 3: done like workshops too, which are just like a week
Speaker 3: or a weekend or something if I can't commit to, like,
Speaker 3: you know, a six week class. So yeah, that's how
Speaker 3: I started. And then once you kind of are, you know,
Speaker 3: in the world of it, it's so much easier to
Speaker 3: find other stuff. And I highly recommend writing workshops dot com.
Speaker 3: I do not work for them. I just like writing
Speaker 3: workshops nice. So anyway, do it, anyways, do it?
Speaker 5: Do it?
Speaker 1: I will. What's what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Dressing your age quote unquote, And I say that because
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that will say that kind
Speaker 3: of shit, But then also other people will be like,
Speaker 3: I thought you were way younger than you are. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, if I gave a fuck about what anybody thought,
Speaker 3: I would have like a much sadder life. And I
Speaker 3: just want to say that there is no dressing your
Speaker 3: age quote unquote. Everyone you think is hot is hot,
Speaker 3: and they're like way and it's like period. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: it's all about like how swaggy you feel and what
Speaker 3: you're doing. No one can be like, well, a skirt
Speaker 3: has to be above below your knees because you're over
Speaker 3: forty or whatever the fuck, Like, do not listen to
Speaker 3: that garbage. You can have like pink barets in your hair.
Speaker 3: It does not matter how fucking old you are, Like,
Speaker 3: people need to settle down with that.
Speaker 2: When people say that, they're telling on themselves that they
Speaker 2: have absolutely no swag, real thank you, no personality. No
Speaker 2: they've not. They don't know how to represent their.
Speaker 3: Beat broken ass coffee maker, no drip.
Speaker 1: Wow. You should say that to them the next time they.
Speaker 3: Say it, and they're like, no, no one would ever
Speaker 3: say it to me.
Speaker 2: No one would, dare no one would.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't give off like I accept constructive criticism
Speaker 3: from strangers or I guess non constructive.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll get hostile if I need to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just where the ship that makes you feel good
Speaker 3: uncomfortable and that's.
Speaker 1: It mm hmm, because I have been I've been toying
Speaker 1: with this look that's like a hat with a spinnything
Speaker 1: on it and a big lollipop, and Miles.
Speaker 3: Has been like, like, it's not it's not ideal.
Speaker 2: It's not like perfect dress your age. I just said,
Speaker 2: it's infantilizing. Yeah, yeah, I mean literally lined with that.
Speaker 2: If that's your vibe, Like, if that's the vibe you
Speaker 2: put out, then go ahead.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: If you're feeling like baby jack, fucking baby Jack.
Speaker 2: It baby Jack cool. Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody has to say it's baby
Speaker 1: stuff or my catchphrase wowie zowie is uh my favorite short,
Speaker 1: and one of this is just my favorite short.
Speaker 3: Get one of the zigang Please draw Jack wearing a
Speaker 3: spinny beanie and draw I do it. No A, I
Speaker 3: regularly to do it.
Speaker 2: I mean me as good as or bad as you
Speaker 2: need it to be.
Speaker 3: Just don't let me figure. I don't care.
Speaker 2: Anyways.
Speaker 1: I think good advice, great underrated, great overrated. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back to
Speaker 1: talk about the news.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back.
Speaker 2: You know, just thinking when I when I choked out
Speaker 2: that guy for walking out of Anger Management, that was
Speaker 2: a literal oh you think I said, oh, you're a
Speaker 2: tough guy. Huh. In my mind it was, oh, so
Speaker 2: you're better than me. You think you're better than me.
Speaker 2: That was a subtext there.
Speaker 1: And just the thing that never doesn't make sense about
Speaker 1: that anecdote is you hadn't seen anger management. I understand
Speaker 1: that narrative as like an expression of like you are,
Speaker 1: you know, selfish, need to like have your taste validated,
Speaker 1: but you hadn't seen it yet.
Speaker 2: I didn't like the idea of someone disrespect to me,
Speaker 2: like I'm off this and were you a Sandman fan?
Speaker 2: Like is that where you just like he's better than
Speaker 2: I was such a teenage mess, dude, It fucking my
Speaker 2: brain was so fucked up from like puberty, not knowing myself,
Speaker 2: like ambient racism, my parents splitting up.

Speaker 3: Fit it around my belly button, like it was really
Speaker 3: fucking hard.
Speaker 1: Like it's a lot of so tiny.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fucking letters. People can't tell what
Speaker 3: it it hurts. It just looks like I did a
Speaker 3: black arc. It's like I'm messed up a rainbow. That's
Speaker 3: what it looks like. But it says ambient racism if
Speaker 3: you look closely.
Speaker 1: But the bottom stretch the letters way out because I
Speaker 1: have a fucking huge belly. But the thing is dinner
Speaker 1: plate down there.
Speaker 3: Cavernous.
Speaker 1: And the dinner plate navel cavernous bb.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, I've seen you get ramen out of.
Speaker 2: It is just the just the right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're on your back.
Speaker 2: You just sit there right there?
Speaker 3: Why dirty a plate?
Speaker 2: College college girlfriend got alcohol poisoning from doing a body
Speaker 2: shot for the belly too much, bab Keep going, I
Speaker 2: just did seven big gulps. Keep going way there.
Speaker 3: I remember when you almost died because he used it
Speaker 3: as a measuring comfort Nike.
Speaker 1: Well, I just saw a picture of a woodpecker's tongue
Speaker 1: that it like wraps all the way around their brain.
Speaker 1: To to protect their brain from.
Speaker 3: The from the trauma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the repeated cte that they're giving themselves but self
Speaker 1: care woodpeckers, That's all I'm saying. But that's how my
Speaker 1: belly button is. Is just like a series of like
Speaker 1: caverns that like twists and turns inside my body.
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes I know when Miles on vacation, he's
Speaker 3: splunking down there.
Speaker 2: That's I love that he says he's an Italy.
Speaker 3: But we all know the truth.
Speaker 2: People don't know. Yeah, they're like, oh my god, if
Speaker 2: people only knew what I was actually up to down there.
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, Jack's oh never mind, but.
Speaker 1: I can't even begin to it.
Speaker 2: There's a place down south that has the echoes of
Speaker 2: the gods ringing through it.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, this episode is completely off the rails
Speaker 1: which were trying to talk about. We were talking about
Speaker 1: Trump got Burner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got Burner.
Speaker 1: There was an Atlantic article back in April where they
Speaker 1: were like, we scheduled an interview with Trump like for weeks,
Speaker 1: did like this the thing you always do where you
Speaker 1: like send it to the administration. They like, clear you
Speaker 1: everything had gone according to plan, and then somebody within
Speaker 1: the administration was like that they're not nice to you,
Speaker 1: and so he like started tweeting about how they were mean,
Speaker 1: like they's never written a fair article about me, and
Speaker 1: it was unceremoniously canceled, and so they they pivoted and
Speaker 1: just called his ass because you can like find his
Speaker 1: phone number on the internet.
Speaker 2: Hot, wait, hold on, what does that mean the art
Speaker 2: I didn't read the article. How did they find his phone?
Speaker 2: And how come we don't have this fucking.
Speaker 1: So they were pretty opaque about that. They said that,
Speaker 1: like we'll just say the White House staff has not
Speaker 1: been super but good about keeping the phone number out
Speaker 1: of people.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: They just so delicious when you're like, I'm gonna drain
Speaker 3: the swamp, but just put all incompetence in charge.
Speaker 1: Exactly who's calling the President of the United States asked
Speaker 1: according to the magazine, and then they just did a
Speaker 1: like hours long conversation with him and this is a
Speaker 1: parent which that that was the thing that stuck out
Speaker 1: to me. I was like, wow, the fuck does like
Speaker 1: he he just spent hours to these people, like after
Speaker 1: they called him unplanned, unprovoked the president of the United States,
Speaker 1: he was just like at his golf club. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know who you are. You're not very fair to me.
Speaker 1: But then just like they were like gave him a
Speaker 1: chance to brag about himself, and he couldn't resist.
Speaker 2: Let's start from the beginning.
Speaker 3: I dont to know that the American president does not
Speaker 3: have anything to do at all. Exactly, He's like, I
Speaker 3: could not have any problems that I could think of
Speaker 3: to solve. I'm just gonna go ahead and take this
Speaker 3: stranger's call for two.
Speaker 2: Also should be that that detail alone should actually be
Speaker 2: the most frightening thing for American people, because yeah, that
Speaker 2: it's all these other fucking pieces of shit that are
Speaker 2: doing all the day to day decision making. That's also
Speaker 2: a thing that came out on that Joe Biden book
Speaker 2: that people don't really talk about, was this moment where
Speaker 2: the whole immigration like Biden didn't know what to do
Speaker 2: about immigration because he had no way to like he
Speaker 2: was bad at mediating the internal fights within the administration. Harris, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so there was nothing happening, and they're like what else,
Speaker 2: So what else was happening? Like that, He's like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know. You guys handle it, And
Speaker 2: here we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it sounds similar. I remember the Obama like
Speaker 1: BlackBerry thing, but I didn't realize like he was adamant.
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm keeping my BlackBerry. They were like,
Speaker 1: you can't. And so he worked with the NSA to
Speaker 1: create a BlackBerry that like didn't have various like it
Speaker 1: like you couldn't forward an email that he sent you,
Speaker 1: and only like eight people had access to it. It
Speaker 1: was very much like fun, just give him a fucking toy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right right.
Speaker 3: Well, but they were like, we're gonna encrypt the shit
Speaker 3: out of this. Yeah, so your phone is not just
Speaker 3: like completely vulnerable and available for like the easiest of hacking. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so he eventually Trump went to the seven eleven.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: No, Trump has been less persuadable by reason. From the article,
Speaker 1: so the Atlantic was just like, so, let's do a
Speaker 1: deeper dive into this secret cell phone that we were
Speaker 1: able to use to call him. From the article, it
Speaker 1: says advisors tried to break his habit, but Trump either
Speaker 1: didn't understand or didn't care. In Trump's second term, his
Speaker 1: advisors have given up trying to restrict his phone use.
Speaker 1: He calls people non stop. Trump's campaign advisor Chris Leacevita
Speaker 1: said in an interview with Politico during the Republican National
Speaker 1: Convention last year. I don't worry about it, because what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Take his phone, change his phone number,
Speaker 1: tell him he can't make phone calls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly correct.
Speaker 1: It just sounds like people who you know, are like
Speaker 1: scared of their kid being like, I don't know what
Speaker 1: am I going to do? Take away his phone? Trump
Speaker 1: Trump went. When people were like, this is the major
Speaker 1: security risk, he'd say, it's not true. My phone is
Speaker 1: the best on the market, the market. It was just
Speaker 1: like an iPhone that he has, be like, I paid
Speaker 1: the most for the iPhone that ain't even a pro,
Speaker 1: that's the regular iPhone. The best time that micro Why
Speaker 1: is your screen crash?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Damn tell what your thumbs are all cut up as shit?
Speaker 2: I like to swipe to text. Does a hell of
Speaker 2: a job on my fingertips.
Speaker 1: The first time Trump's team truly understood also from this
Speaker 1: article about the history of his private line, first time
Speaker 1: they understood he would have a different relationship with his
Speaker 1: cell phone than did president's past was Election night twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: the eve of his improbable victory. He was answering every
Speaker 1: phone call. The outside advisor marveled to us nearly a
Speaker 1: decade later, noting that none of the numbers was in
Speaker 1: Trump's contacts. He just answers the phone. He doesn't want
Speaker 1: to miss phone calls. He's just stray numbers that aren't contacts.
Speaker 1: He's and like, there's an anecdote in there where the
Speaker 1: Dilbert guy is like, I just got a random phone
Speaker 1: call from Florida and he called me left a voicemaih.
Speaker 2: Did that guy die? He's I think on his term cancer.
Speaker 1: He has the same thing Biden has, and oh really
Speaker 1: think that's why Trump was calling him Actually was to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, anything.
Speaker 2: I can do for you.
Speaker 1: But then like he like called it. He's like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe that shit just happened. That's a Trump voicemail. Now,
Speaker 1: like two hours Trump called him back. He was like, wait,
Speaker 1: aren't you like busy? But yeah, yeah, no, no, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: Why you busy? Do you call you back? I'll call
Speaker 2: you back like an hour.
Speaker 1: He's just spending his whole day talking on the phone
Speaker 1: like a fucking teenage girl. In nineteen ninety two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's what he does.
Speaker 2: One of the numbers he's calling the Corey hotline.
Speaker 3: I don't think that you should drag teenage girls into this.
Speaker 1: Because they were I mean, they were doing important working
Speaker 1: on their phones.
Speaker 3: It's very it's very fun to imagine that he's so
Speaker 3: not to imagine, but to know that he's so insecure
Speaker 3: it so badly needs attention all of the time that
Speaker 3: he picks up exactly stranger's phone calls. Like I bet
Speaker 3: you if like you called him, like old school nineties
Speaker 3: style to change his long distance service, I bet you
Speaker 3: he would be on the phone with you for like
Speaker 3: ten days.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, he's just like an unscheduled call that lasts over
Speaker 1: five minutes is a shocking luxury for all, but the
Speaker 1: most retired person likes an unscheduled call from somebody.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so good to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, middle of the day on a work day, and
Speaker 1: he's just sitting there for hours, just being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's good. Yeah, no, I know you're mean to me.
Speaker 1: Usually in print. Here here's some cool stuff I'm up to.
Speaker 2: Oh me nothing right now, I'm just hanging out.
Speaker 3: Also, I love that he didn't actually know that that
Speaker 3: person had been mean to him. Someone had to like
Speaker 3: inform him, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like that's
Speaker 3: so funny. Someone's like, oh, actually, you're supposed to not
Speaker 3: like this person.
Speaker 2: And even then it doesn't matter to him because as
Speaker 2: long as in the moment you're in his face and
Speaker 2: you're not talking cash ship to his face, he's like,
Speaker 2: and I love this person giving me attention right now
Speaker 2: and asking me a question.
Speaker 1: There's almost no there's like so many pictures of him
Speaker 1: on his phone in this article, like which he's just
Speaker 1: like constantly on his phone or like texting someone, or
Speaker 1: there's almost no chance that he's not talking to like
Speaker 1: crypto scammers.
Speaker 2: He looks like such a dickhead on these like in
Speaker 2: these pictures, like he's like hello, like doing the like
Speaker 2: I'm kind of like, I'm a little bit far sighted,
Speaker 2: so I got to really put my phone far to
Speaker 2: start typing some shit.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, big dumb smile.
Speaker 2: I think if hey, look y'all, if any of y'all
Speaker 2: can figure out how to get this number, please let
Speaker 2: us know. Yeah, please let us know. I'm I could
Speaker 2: do it. I don't know who I'll do an impression
Speaker 2: of but I will try and talk to him and
Speaker 2: get him to believe he's talking to somebody else.
Speaker 1: Australia. I just have to learn the Australian president's name.
Speaker 1: But you gotta Australia.
Speaker 2: President Trumpet's me President Australia. Things down under.
Speaker 3: My name is Melbourne, Australia.
Speaker 2: I'm the President. I can't do the dundee. Oh good
Speaker 2: to see. It's good to hear from you. Crocodile.
Speaker 1: Always been a big fan of your work. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: truly the scam, the you know, gen z prank phone
Speaker 1: call artists of TikTok and YouTube or falling down at
Speaker 1: the job that they haven't been able.
Speaker 2: To get like we need to get like yeah, like
Speaker 2: like somewhat like James Adomian to put out his elon
Speaker 2: musk and talk to him for like seventy five hours
Speaker 2: and just get some weird ship out of him.
Speaker 3: I would just pretend to be his daughter and have
Speaker 3: a phone sex with him, oh gosh, And then I
Speaker 3: would record it and release that, yeah.
Speaker 2: And people would be not shocked.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, hey, dad, it's a vanka hold on
Speaker 3: about the way. You're ready, You're ready roddy, you're ready rotting,
Speaker 3: skin falls off your face and to really hot.
Speaker 2: I feel like you could. You can just say you're
Speaker 2: some random You're like, I'm a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and
Speaker 2: I think you're swell. Go on, yes, send me a
Speaker 2: picture of you right now.
Speaker 3: You just Google and send and'll it'll be the easiest.
Speaker 2: He got Getty images watermarks all over it.
Speaker 1: He's like, exactly, body is sliding off your skeleton like
Speaker 1: slow roasted pork. So what I'm saying, I just do
Speaker 1: it in my voice, like go on, go on, Oh
Speaker 1: baby wants to fuck me? It sounds like maybe you would.
Speaker 1: That meat is loosen and pulled pork. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: I feel like a dumb prank phone call like that,
Speaker 1: like they they would overreact and then somebody will prank
Speaker 1: call the president get his ass really good, and they'll
Speaker 1: be charged with treason or treason and they'll be put
Speaker 1: to death. Yeah hanged, rather right, hanged?
Speaker 2: What is that they'll be hung?
Speaker 1: Is a just them?
Speaker 2: And they'll be packing down there? What do you mean
Speaker 2: what does one have to do with the other. I
Speaker 2: don't know just how the term works. Oh, will they
Speaker 2: be executed?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: No, That's what I meant. I just meant, whoever doing it,
Speaker 2: they'll be hung.
Speaker 1: They'll definitely be hung. You can tell, all right. In
Speaker 1: continuing on our trend of old person news and yesterday's
Speaker 1: trend of drug news, we got some news about the
Speaker 1: elderly getting on board with weed.
Speaker 2: Dude. The boomers are hitting the bong hard. They're still
Speaker 2: smoking bonds, I hope.
Speaker 3: So, I don't know, there's nothing funnier than a tiny
Speaker 3: old person hitting a giant bong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like really and then like ging that thing
Speaker 2: up just.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, no cough, no nothing.
Speaker 2: No test convulsion, just straight. Oh. I like this one.
Speaker 2: I like this one.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is a little nice, this a little peppery
Speaker 3: or than that other one.
Speaker 2: Welly, you can taste the oh look at it the
Speaker 2: tannin's Wow. Uh did not have a turkey. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it sounds like the sixty five and older crowd have
Speaker 2: shed all like the refer yeahs dude, turps. Yeah. The
Speaker 2: reefer madness propaganda brain is withering away and people are
Speaker 2: now embracing the weeds. The stigma is not as much
Speaker 2: of a thing as it used to be with the
Speaker 2: sixty five and older crowd. Crowd, and obviously like the
Speaker 2: expansion of like legal and legal recreational and medical medicinal
Speaker 2: cannabis has opened the door for holdouts like my high
Speaker 2: school teacher, My high school history teacher who inspired me
Speaker 2: to even be interested in history as like a major.
Speaker 2: All the time we would talk about like like we
Speaker 2: would talk about weed. He's like, hey, guys, really should
Speaker 2: really stop talking about that. I know you're joking to
Speaker 2: kind of get me riled up, but like it's illegal
Speaker 2: or whatever, Like would you ever smoke weeds, sir? And
Speaker 2: he would always say, I only don't smoke it because
Speaker 2: it is illegal and I'm a law abiding citizen. But
Speaker 2: if it was legal, I would do it. And we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna smoke with you when it's legal.
Speaker 1: He's like, for instance, I'm drunk right now. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: high school history teacher. Shout out to high school history
Speaker 1: teacher who was secretly dipping all class or like yeah,
Speaker 1: secretly but like he just had a little one in him.
Speaker 1: Was taking SIPs.
Speaker 3: Soda that you can in no way do dip secretly
Speaker 3: in a clandestine manner.
Speaker 2: No, No, he was.
Speaker 1: He was always at SIPs. But that sounded like, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 3: It was like, Oh, I was shitting myself in public,
Speaker 3: but no one knew. It's like, no, we all.
Speaker 2: Knew the entire time your pants filled down because it
Speaker 2: was so heavy.
Speaker 1: But he actually gave me early weed insight. Also, he
Speaker 1: was like, the only reason weeds illegal is because it's
Speaker 1: so easy to grow at home, like and so difficult
Speaker 1: to tack. So you can't make buttweise are worth a
Speaker 1: ship in your bathtub, But you buy a grow light,
Speaker 1: you can grow some pretty great weed. What nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: know about it.
Speaker 3: That's a fucking hero right there.
Speaker 1: I knows that's teaching it a fucking Catholic high school
Speaker 1: in Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Was just being like, yeah, man, so here's what it is.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: That's like I'm sure like there's a tradition of knowing
Speaker 2: like what the government will let you make on your
Speaker 2: own and won't because of how companies can profit. I'm
Speaker 2: sure for that. It's like moonshine is more like the
Speaker 2: local thing than like weed, maybe on the West coast,
Speaker 2: but anyway, there's been a forty six percent optic in
Speaker 2: consumption among seniors who man this like Journal of American
Speaker 2: Medicine study from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: and now like from when they were asking. In twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, seven percent of adult sixty five and older
Speaker 2: said they'd used cannabis in the past month.
Speaker 3: Yeah boy, hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2: I like through I think, you know, it's the pandemic lockdowns,
Speaker 2: and I think acceptance around using it for certain chronic
Speaker 2: illnesses or pain management is definitely adding to the usage.
Speaker 2: And I've also noticed a more of like a who
Speaker 2: gives a fuck kind of adage from that generation recently,
Speaker 2: at least the ones around me are more like, way
Speaker 2: different than what I remember as a kid, or they
Speaker 2: were like so button up and like, yeah, dude, don't
Speaker 2: give a fuck. I'm getting high now, I don't have
Speaker 2: anything to do.
Speaker 3: Well, then to piggyback off of that, I think I
Speaker 3: totally agree that it's not giving a fuck, and I think, actually,
Speaker 3: I'll take it further. It's because they're like, well, we
Speaker 3: have no future because the next couple of years that
Speaker 3: we have or whatever, or under this administration, everything's getting cut,
Speaker 3: America's fallen apart. They're like, you know what, I might
Speaker 3: get into heroin tomorrow. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, where do I sign up? That means they
Speaker 2: were getting nihilistic under Biden during this thing. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It built up there who gives a fuck muscles on
Speaker 1: climate change and yeah you know Gaza and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: So now we bro I can't be fucking arst as
Speaker 2: they say, I've seen more than like also personally a
Speaker 2: few examples of friends are getting their parents to try
Speaker 2: it for pain management. Like a friend of mine's dad
Speaker 2: who was taking all kinds of like opioids for like
Speaker 2: hip and like knee replacement surgeries, was just so zonked
Speaker 2: out all the time and was like but was resisting
Speaker 2: cannabis because they had this very like boomer idea of
Speaker 2: like if I, if I ingested, I might turn into
Speaker 2: a black jazz pianist or something, and I don't want
Speaker 2: that to happen. So I don't know if I should
Speaker 2: take this edible not.
Speaker 4: Ready for me to become Miles David Jim is gonna
Speaker 4: call me cheech and chum, Yeah exactly, be so us
Speaker 4: they're gonna come me John Coltrane or something.
Speaker 2: Since they've crossed that bridge, like they're fully like, so
Speaker 2: they're like, I can't believe I didn't do this, like
Speaker 2: I feel so much like it, like clear headed, because
Speaker 2: I'm not so fucking wasted from like traditional like pharmaceutical
Speaker 2: pain medicines. Not to say this works for everyone, but
Speaker 2: like anecdotally that that's been the one I've seen happen
Speaker 2: a lot common where it's like they've always got this
Speaker 2: back pain, they hate taking pills for it, and now
Speaker 2: they just like take their little vape and now they're
Speaker 2: great or an edible or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's not a surprise when compared with
Speaker 1: the opioids that yeah, have been legally sold to people
Speaker 1: for the past couple decades.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, massive, massive improvement, guys. Yeah, please do that.
Speaker 3: Also side note, if you're like a grown up who
Speaker 3: smokes with like a.
Speaker 2: Younger people, is this like a podcast for thirteen year olds? Okay,
Speaker 2: but like if you're.
Speaker 3: A grown up, oh my god, why do I sound
Speaker 3: like that?
Speaker 1: Also?
Speaker 3: Grown Damn, I don't even talk. I've been really valley
Speaker 3: sounding this whole episode, and I'm like, I apologize to
Speaker 3: the listeners. I don't know what you are.
Speaker 2: You are a valley by way of Odessa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, never lived in the valley. What is this accent.
Speaker 3: It is horrible. Please leave, Please leave my mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that if you're an older
Speaker 3: person smoking weed with younger people and you're cool as hell.
Speaker 3: If you're an older person drinking with the younger people, Bill,
Speaker 3: that is not cool. That you are a monster and
Speaker 3: you need to leave.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I got a family friend
Speaker 2: who's older, like they're like, oh, you're smoking.
Speaker 6: I'm like yeah, They're like I've been doing that too,
Speaker 6: And I'm like, brouh you you're not ready for this ship.
Speaker 6: And you're like, well, they're like, to the store. I
Speaker 6: go to the store, and I'm like, all right, this
Speaker 6: motherfucker turned into a scarecrow. And like at this family
Speaker 6: party and high a hit and there was way too much.
Speaker 2: Like just fucking a scarecrow, just physically there as a
Speaker 2: presence but not in anything. Scarecrow.
Speaker 1: And I just experience what it was like to get
Speaker 1: high with me back when I got high.
Speaker 2: Well, at least they weren't like you hate me.
Speaker 1: They were just like I didn't say that out loud, Jack,
Speaker 1: I love you, but you.
Speaker 3: Do look like you would be absolutely not fun high.
Speaker 2: To get high with. Now I was a nightmare.
Speaker 1: I hated myself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I totally for some reason feel that from you.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: It must be good. I think it's a good It
Speaker 1: reflects well on my personality, like general, you know, chillness,
Speaker 1: it means you're very an.
Speaker 3: Exactly. It means that this is the real jack. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm high in my regular life. Man, I
Speaker 1: can't be double high.
Speaker 3: You're a freaking high off beautiful family and cool job,
Speaker 3: and like, why would you even need anything else?
Speaker 2: And cool? Yeah? Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And this is thirteen year olds out there. I don't
Speaker 1: need anything else.
Speaker 2: When you're grown up, you get to pick your own
Speaker 2: clothes and you can buy them whichever ones you want
Speaker 2: to buy.
Speaker 3: You guys, get ready with me. So first of all,
Speaker 3: my mom let me get this skirt from the Limited
Speaker 3: and it was my birthday money, so okay. Second off,
Speaker 3: I wanted to get the stuff from what Seal, but
Speaker 3: I could not afford it. Well, I got it from
Speaker 3: my best friend Brittany, and I'm borrowing it for this outfit.
Speaker 1: Britanh my god, so many syllables in Brittany.
Speaker 3: Brittany, Brittany, britt Britanny.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We gotta meet our favorite
Speaker 1: new character in the news, FEMA head Guy.
Speaker 3: We'll head guy, Hurricane head.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Richardson, and we're back. We're back, and we got
Speaker 1: a new head of FEMA. David Hurricane Richardson the acting
Speaker 1: head of FEMA, and at a big meeting with his employees,
Speaker 1: he said that he did not know the United States
Speaker 1: has a hurricane season, leaving the people who work for
Speaker 1: FEMA somewhat concerned and baffled. He's like, I was just
Speaker 1: joking around, Like he's one of those guys if.
Speaker 3: He's he was not joking though he was in no
Speaker 3: way joking. It's not even a joke.
Speaker 1: People like that who will say something and everyone's like
Speaker 1: what the fuck And then they'll be like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: Like once you get to know them, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they were joking, but like they don't know how that works.
Speaker 2: You know this sense of irony because you see it
Speaker 2: all the time in bad comedians who just say I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna say the opposite of something and assume that's irony. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's just like what, shut up?
Speaker 3: I actually love Hitler. You guys get it, Yeah, like
Speaker 3: what that's not you.
Speaker 2: You're not exactly in that binary. You're either a Nazi
Speaker 2: or you're not a Nazi. I'm a Nazi.
Speaker 3: But either way, it wasn't a joke.
Speaker 1: It's hard to Yeah, yeah, it was not a joke
Speaker 1: in any functional form of joking.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The Democrats have been like, Okay, well, even if that
Speaker 1: was a joke, this is what happens when you hire
Speaker 1: for vibes over qualifications, because he's not in any way qualified,
Speaker 1: but like the vibes are terrible, like they like, it's
Speaker 1: not like he's a funny person. During his first all
Speaker 1: hands FEMA meeting, he told others, don't get in my way,
Speaker 1: adding obfuscation, delay, undermining. If you're one of those twenty
Speaker 1: percent of the people and you think those tactics and
Speaker 1: techniques are going to help you, they will not, because
Speaker 1: I will run right over you. I will achieve the
Speaker 1: presidents in time.
Speaker 2: That's the vibe actually that Trump was going for.
Speaker 3: He was like, truly, I was having a seizure during that,
Speaker 3: And I don't understand how you can make FEMA and
Speaker 3: to something that's like a war rally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, do you know what FEMA does?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not in charge of the marines, bro, Like,
Speaker 3: what is this?
Speaker 1: You ever see something marine?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I and I alone in FEMA speak for
Speaker 2: FEMA Jesus Christ and I alone face.
Speaker 1: I don't stop at yield signs is also something he said, which, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, like you're supposed to when there's other stuff.
Speaker 3: No, you know what what yield means? Like, I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of the words he uses he does
Speaker 3: not understand, and that is kind of It's kind of
Speaker 3: key for the administration. I think it's kind of a
Speaker 3: thing everyone has in common. They just do not really
Speaker 3: know what words mean.
Speaker 2: No, there's a lot of words. Yeah, I'm an asshole,
Speaker 2: get out of my way. Fuck you pretty much.
Speaker 3: And I would have taken so much less time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, you woman. They didn't get that.
Speaker 1: He was like a fun, joking guy when he said
Speaker 1: that he didn't know we had a hurricane season, when
Speaker 1: the rest of the meeting.
Speaker 5: Was like, I will fuck you up. Don't even look
Speaker 5: at me. I will destroy you. I will make you
Speaker 5: wish you were never born. I didn't know there was
Speaker 5: such a thing as a hurricane season. Well, how did
Speaker 5: they not know that that was a joke.
Speaker 2: Bro, all the funniest guys do, right, I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: threatened to skullfuck someone in that. I'm sure he has
Speaker 2: used to. He was he probably did a bit from
Speaker 2: that Will Farrell LESNL thing or the most Terrible Boss
Speaker 2: like where he's abusing the employees just like right after
Speaker 2: it didn't mean that skull fuck joke. Literally, come on.
Speaker 3: Guys, I feel like this is what happens when like
Speaker 3: someone Binge watches Succession who's like, you know, then you're like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make Fema and Logan roy industries, Like, oh
Speaker 3: my god. Certain Well, there's.
Speaker 1: Been like studies on like narcissism, and the thing they've
Speaker 1: found is that a lot of the biggest narcissists and
Speaker 1: like the meanest people are the people who like haven't
Speaker 1: really like in the entertainment industry, for instance, It'll be
Speaker 1: like people who haven't who aren't like talented, they're just
Speaker 1: like there because they were in the right place at
Speaker 1: the right time, and so they're like defending their position
Speaker 1: because they have a sense that like I don't actually
Speaker 1: know why I'm here, and I feel like that like
Speaker 1: this guy is in no way deserves to be the
Speaker 1: FEMA chief. His background is that he was a former
Speaker 1: marine and a terrible artist and novelist. Back to a
Speaker 1: running theme we've found here with Trump, I guess I
Speaker 1: was meant to be a filmmaker.
Speaker 3: But I didn't know he failed two forms of art. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: now I know this man is like extra dangerous.
Speaker 2: What have you believe? He's like the anti double threat,
Speaker 2: He's a minus one threat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, he had a gallery show which included
Speaker 1: a painting depicting AOC kind of like it's not recognizable
Speaker 1: as AOC other than if I tell you, oh this
Speaker 1: is being done. Who's from the right, Because it's a
Speaker 1: woman in a jay gouvera poster with like hoop earrings
Speaker 1: which today was even where and it says hashtag bimbonic bimbonic,
Speaker 1: hash Amazon on the top.
Speaker 2: What does that even mean?
Speaker 3: I don't understand hashtag. I understand what bimbo is, but
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's supposed to.
Speaker 2: Be replacing, like a bionic bimbo.
Speaker 3: But what word is it supposed to be replacing? Like
Speaker 3: what's the wordplay there?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just a word. I thought was funny to
Speaker 2: make fun of a woman. That's why I put that there.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna go viral.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I did it as a hashtag fuck hashtag
Speaker 2: bimbonics not taking off really.
Speaker 3: Quick though, But like it seems like it's kind of
Speaker 3: complimentary to portray her. Or is Jay Gevera because he
Speaker 3: Givar because he was like kind of like an important
Speaker 3: revolutionary or is that what you were going for?
Speaker 1: Darter Cortes is a socialist. She is like the pigs
Speaker 1: for Orwell's animal farm. My initial impression of her that
Speaker 1: she doesn't really care about the working class. She just
Speaker 1: doesn't like rich folk. That was my initial idea, kind
Speaker 1: of like cha.
Speaker 3: Oh so okay, I say rich. So you think the
Speaker 3: main thing that Vera was about was he was like,
Speaker 3: I don't like.
Speaker 1: I hate rich people.
Speaker 3: I hate riches.
Speaker 1: I'm just jealous of all their sway. I just really
Speaker 1: wish I was dropping call them mister coffee.
Speaker 3: Exactly because they got all that's what damn you are
Speaker 3: a dry as call me Alexandra Curig.
Speaker 2: Court s wish't he's hit like a drunk Disney character.
Speaker 1: He also wrote a twenty nineteen novel called War Story,
Speaker 1: which terrible art on the front that I look appears
Speaker 1: to be his own.
Speaker 2: Did I miss the part where you said the gallery
Speaker 2: said it looked like Baski Yats work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just thought that was going to like
Speaker 1: actually kill some people, so I din't want to. But
Speaker 1: the gallery owner compared his work to that of Bosquiocht
Speaker 1: in terms of his materials and arresting imagery.
Speaker 3: Jesus, why would somebody say that this is so fucking
Speaker 3: viscerally upsetting.
Speaker 1: It's at best it can be. It's like a poor
Speaker 1: man's mister brainwash. It's just like, you know, somebody appropriating
Speaker 1: one image, mashing it up with another and being which
Speaker 1: is wild, because that's down and that is not all.
Speaker 1: It's not even like this person must not know what
Speaker 1: Basquiot there was, like fucking poetry and like all kinds
Speaker 1: of shit and the message.
Speaker 3: Medical revolutionary statements and pulling in history.
Speaker 2: And but this guy understands. This guy understands blackness. I
Speaker 2: think just like Basquiat did. Probably the gallery the gallery.
Speaker 3: Owners probably sounds bisquick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, oh, it's very much like Basqueiot totally.
Speaker 3: The gallery, by the way, that I'm actually Ovaltine inspired
Speaker 3: a painting. I love his work.
Speaker 1: The painting that looks like nine thousand things you could
Speaker 1: find on fucking like any of those public art sites
Speaker 1: where they're like, turn your art into a poster is
Speaker 1: being sold for ninety thousand dollars. And he's like kind
Speaker 1: of an art nepo, like his mom as an artist,
Speaker 1: and so I think, like, this is his way into
Speaker 1: these galleries and shit like she must.
Speaker 2: Be so also, wait, when did you see this gallery? Show?
Speaker 1: Was guarantee?
Speaker 2: What what you when twenty twenty you said yeah, someone no,
Speaker 2: But I'm just like because I'm like, this isn't an
Speaker 2: original idea. And then in twenty eighteen, someone posted a
Speaker 2: she Givara image with AOC like but photo realistic, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, this guy's just fucking ripping off.
Speaker 3: Like it's even worse to be the fuck Jerry of
Speaker 3: painting when you're already are not.
Speaker 1: Jesus, I do want to get to his novel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's play war games his novel.
Speaker 1: And so he says that his novel is eighty percent autobiographical.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to let you guys decide which parts
Speaker 1: you think are real and which parts aren't okay, So
Speaker 1: like the stuff that is, you know, demonstrably autobiographical, is
Speaker 1: like the The novel follows a DC area resident, a
Speaker 1: cigar smoker, and the son of an artist who taught
Speaker 1: him to paint from a young age. His name is Steerforth,
Speaker 1: and he goes to war not because he has to
Speaker 1: or because he's especially committed to the cause, but because
Speaker 1: he's dreamed of the adventure of war since childhood. So
Speaker 1: he just basically looks fun is his reason for going
Speaker 1: to war. He's constantly being complimented on his amazing paintings,
Speaker 1: especially by very young women, including his female students, and
Speaker 1: he's constantly like, fucking you know, college age women as
Speaker 1: a teacher, Oh sweetie.
Speaker 3: Your mommy and daddy didn't like your art.
Speaker 2: I like your paintings.
Speaker 1: That cigar smell makes me think of my papa is
Speaker 1: one of the what one of the girls says before
Speaker 1: kissing him on the cheek.
Speaker 3: And before she fucking kills herself because that's not real.
Speaker 2: Holy shit.
Speaker 1: All the women in the back find him quote irresistibly charming.
Speaker 1: A reporter who visits a rock and questions how a
Speaker 1: man who's obviously not gay and seems to have melted
Speaker 1: and seems to have quote melted more than one heart,
Speaker 1: with those blue eyes, that crooked grin, and that practiced
Speaker 1: southern draw. Practice southern draw could be.
Speaker 3: Saying do you think that's sexy? At crossing his own accent?
Speaker 2: Why would that not?
Speaker 1: Serial killer? Ship?
Speaker 2: Is that big broken arm? Yeah?
Speaker 7: And then the talented mister why are you practice? I
Speaker 7: love his performative neck brace that he wears, Like, what
Speaker 7: the fuck are they saying?
Speaker 1: Later, she brushes over the possible war crimes she saw
Speaker 1: committed on Steerforth's watch. I wonder which part of that
Speaker 1: is that he got away on or the hot woman
Speaker 1: who was like, God damn, how are you single?
Speaker 3: Jesus the boss to write a warst story where you
Speaker 3: are like, I'm really excited to go to war for
Speaker 3: the adventure, and then at the end the like moral
Speaker 3: isn't that? Like, oh, war is terrible? I thought it
Speaker 3: was going to be an adventure, but in fact, now
Speaker 3: I've been so fucked Yeah. If that is not the
Speaker 3: book you're writing, I do not understand how you're.
Speaker 1: Like the moral of the story is like and it
Speaker 1: was actually pretty tight and like we did some fucked
Speaker 1: up shit and got away with it because I'm hot.
Speaker 2: But I smoked the cigar and had sex with college students.
Speaker 2: Bread the idea of.
Speaker 1: Somebody still think is cool to smoke the guard I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess maybe it's coming back. That's the generator. No,
Speaker 1: that's that generation.
Speaker 2: They're weird like that, or I mean he's not young
Speaker 2: enough because like the Tate Brothers are big fucking stogy
Speaker 2: smokers too. But again they're still they're doing they're LARPing
Speaker 2: as like fucking boomer men.
Speaker 3: So you know, well, I think it's like that's what
Speaker 3: they think rich people do.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's a war story, but it's also a love story.
Speaker 1: He has a girlfriend who is a quote Mongolian born
Speaker 1: college student who loves his paintings. The book describes her
Speaker 1: as thin, with nice hips and a round bottom.
Speaker 2: It's a good writer. Guy's a good writer.
Speaker 1: She lives in an apartment building full of immigrants and
Speaker 1: works in a hat job.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I feel like he really knows the common man.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like he's probably stalking this Mongolian born
Speaker 2: college student that might be based on something real.
Speaker 3: She's probably said a million times I am not Mongolian. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I've told you I'm Filipino. Stop fucking calling me.
Speaker 2: I just work at the Mongolian barbecue place you come
Speaker 2: after lunch every day.
Speaker 3: I am white.
Speaker 2: She's Mongolian born and a college student with hips and
Speaker 2: a round bottom around.
Speaker 1: He buys her ice cream, smokes cigars, and says things
Speaker 1: like this waterfront reminds me of summer and painting. Holy
Speaker 1: sh it's just yeah, like you can see that he
Speaker 1: wants to have an artistic soul.
Speaker 3: He wants to have a personality, and he doesn't, and
Speaker 3: it is sad.
Speaker 1: This water front reminds me of painting, which is an
Speaker 1: artistic thing you can do. Jesus Christ and now sends
Speaker 1: a good portion of the book sexualizing female marines and
Speaker 1: complaining about them being in the military in the first place.
Speaker 1: So great, that seems like probably what he's actually doing.
Speaker 3: Am I supposed to kill strangers with someone with a
Speaker 3: round bottom nearby?
Speaker 2: Am I right? My dog's up top? That's just written
Speaker 2: in the book. Yeah, yeah, who's that up top for?
Speaker 1: Up top?
Speaker 2: Okay, crookeds.
Speaker 1: Anyways, it seems like a hell of a book. Go

Speaker 3: Yes, so this is a Reddit post I saw, so
Speaker 3: you can't really really enjoy it by clicking on it,
Speaker 3: so enjoy it for my mouth. And basically it was
Speaker 3: a thread where people were talking about what to do
Speaker 3: and where they're escaping to if shit gets really bad
Speaker 3: under Trump. And a Scottish person posted and said, hey,
Speaker 3: if anybody needs to marry somebody for you know, to escape,
Speaker 3: I am available. We can do a two year you know,
Speaker 3: limited marriage whatever. And people were like, that's so nice
Speaker 3: that you would offer that, and this other person replied
Speaker 3: and said, this is extra nice for me because I'm
Speaker 3: a autistic. I'm a black autistic disabled woman. And then
Speaker 3: the person the original poster replied and said, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I am also. I am also a black autistic and
Speaker 3: I was like, this is the most beautiful meeting of mind.
Speaker 2: Wow. This is the Scottish person too.
Speaker 3: The Scottish person was like, yes, I am also exactly you. Wow,
Speaker 3: I'm a black disabled stick woman.
Speaker 2: That also sounds like some Reddit shit where people just
Speaker 2: be claiming that shit so they could get away with
Speaker 2: saying all kinds of stuff, you know, because fu ai
Speaker 2: people are on there faking to be black people all
Speaker 2: the time. But I do like to wish.
Speaker 1: I hope that's sincere and it was a real connection
Speaker 1: your heart.
Speaker 3: I just want to say that that is a fucking
Speaker 3: sitcom that I want to watch because yes.
Speaker 2: Escaping, escaping and finding each other through Reddit so cute.

Speaker 2: Gaily this week, probably the most famous Pacers fan.
Speaker 3: I's so fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look she is in heaven right now with
Speaker 2: her pacers in the finals. So yes, just just just
Speaker 2: fucking tune in for that one. Obviously, tune into Alexandra
Speaker 2: and I a work at media, Like, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: as a parent of a little toddler, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of Miss Rachel being played.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: She just had a potty training episode that dropped. She
Speaker 2: was a fucking banger. A lot of poop do, a
Speaker 2: lot of farting do so many farting jokes in there.
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, yeah, when you're child, farting jokes
Speaker 3: are like everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because about honestly, and it's like, oh, do animals poop? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Poop do?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 2: Does do? Do our parents poop? And it's like yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like all these fart sounds. But anyway, on top
Speaker 2: of that, she's also gotten a lot of shit because
Speaker 2: she's been very vocally a supporter of Palestinian people, especially
Speaker 2: what's happening to children, and a lot of people like
Speaker 2: how dare you? You should stay out of this, and
Speaker 2: she's been like, yo, I'm sorry, I'm I'm about the kids.
Speaker 2: This is what she posted on threads two days ago
Speaker 2: from Miss Rachel for little quote what people don't understand
Speaker 2: is that my career and reputation will never matter to
Speaker 2: me as much as standing up for kids. What people
Speaker 2: don't understand is that no amount of cruel name calling
Speaker 2: or false accusations will stop me from standing up for kids.
Speaker 2: Well people don't understand is that I will risk my
Speaker 2: career over and over to stand up for kids. Well
Speaker 2: people don't understand is that that's why I miss Rachel.
Speaker 2: The kids brought me here. I was like, God, damn
Speaker 2: yes exactly.
Speaker 3: Second of all, one of the things for the show
Speaker 3: is like things you want to promote. I want to
Speaker 3: promote Jewish Voice for Peace because it is really really important.
Speaker 3: I mean obviously for everybody, but I think Jewish people
Speaker 3: have a hard time because a lot of anti Semitism
Speaker 3: creeps in. But we have to just keep focused on
Speaker 3: what matters. And that is exactly what Megan was talking about,
Speaker 3: and it's dead and starving children and just people in general.
Speaker 3: So Jewish Voice for Peace if you are a Jewish
Speaker 3: person who is struggling and wants to help, and yeah.
