Speaker 1: one courtesy of Vanadium Silver. My name is Jack. That
Speaker 1: over there is Miles.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, no, no, no no no. No need for
Speaker 2: the fanfare, no need for the fanfare. Just me, I'm
Speaker 2: just little old me.
Speaker 1: What is fanfair? Technically?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it like the I feel like people. I've heard
Speaker 1: it referred to as like fanfare, and it's like when
Speaker 1: a royal enters and there's the people with a short.
Speaker 2: So the definition a short ceremonial tune or flourish played
Speaker 2: on brass instruments, typically to introduce something or someone or
Speaker 2: media attention or elaborate ceremony.
Speaker 1: Aha aha aha. It is the shittiest fanfare. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine as me just screaming your name.
Speaker 2: Or going huh uh huh huh, like Georgiana.
Speaker 1: We were talking about just Wayne, the Newla Wayne, and
Speaker 1: how her ad lib is uh huh uh huh uh
Speaker 1: uh huh. Like one point she goes huh and then
Speaker 1: like she forgot what it was, and I was like.
Speaker 2: Georgiana on this show, especially after we were giving elevator spaghetti. Okay,
Speaker 2: but the question.
Speaker 1: Nees week elevator spaghetti. Did you see the the Kendrick
Speaker 1: edit where they just keep putting broccoli? No, I was like,
Speaker 1: whoke looking for the broccoli and then it just keeps
Speaker 1: coming back to broccoli over and over again.
Speaker 2: Keep the horn on me that broccoli exact ownership. The
Speaker 2: print is broccoli, get off, get off in broccly. Is
Speaker 2: that what it basically is? Yeah, exactly. I know that's
Speaker 2: not well enough to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do not, So I do have woke up
Speaker 1: looking for broccoli in my head every morning when I
Speaker 1: wake up. Now, so you win, Kendrick. Fine, yet again,
Speaker 1: my name is Jack Thoughts, Miles. We did that, and yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what's trending on Thursday. You do have a
Speaker 1: few hours before it's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Yes, don't fuck that up, y'all, fuck it up, don't
Speaker 2: fucking my god? Yeah, and give one one instead of
Speaker 2: sending money up to the oligarchs, give your money to
Speaker 2: someone in your community.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 2: Give you let's give our money to each other.
Speaker 1: Rather than like pay your neighbor to give your significant
Speaker 1: other a BackRub.
Speaker 2: Like pay your neighbor to go to write eight in
Speaker 2: a panic to buy you a shitty box of Russell Stone. Dude, Dude, Richard,
Speaker 2: Richard Richard, can you fucking go really quick? Yeah, just
Speaker 2: fucking keep the change, bro, but me back like fifteen minutes. Run.
Speaker 1: Hey, here's fifteen dollars to just cut all the flowers
Speaker 1: in your garden. Uh, you just rip.
Speaker 2: Out someone's flower bed, you leave ten bucks. There might
Speaker 2: be I had to do something.
Speaker 1: I had to do something. Hey man, my bad. Anyways,
Speaker 1: these are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Thursday, February thirteenth. We do just want to take
Speaker 1: a moment, Like we talked about the Elon Muskoval office
Speaker 1: press conference, how Trump just kind of sat there looking
Speaker 1: like what what did you compare it to? You had
Speaker 1: the perfect comparison.
Speaker 2: He was like in the puck seat basically, yeah, he
Speaker 2: was like a seat. And when it was but it
Speaker 2: felt like when the elder Nicole Smith mad that like
Speaker 2: about to die billionaire just so shit basically like and
Speaker 2: everyone goes, you know, she's just in his ear all
Speaker 2: the time running his shit. He actually is not in control.
Speaker 2: It was again, and.
Speaker 1: Then they do an elder conference to prove that's not
Speaker 1: the case. But the press conference just confirms that everybody
Speaker 1: but I got this baby, you're tired. Of course, he
Speaker 1: loves me, He's always been in love with me.
Speaker 2: I'm the love of his life and everything I say
Speaker 2: he believes and also agrees with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so excited for a long future together. So that
Speaker 1: those were the vibes we did failed him. I mean,
Speaker 1: we mentioned that Elon Musk like was throwing his son
Speaker 1: on his shoulders like a meat shield, you know, like
Speaker 1: your son on your shoulders. But we did I hadn't
Speaker 1: really zoomed in on what the kid was saying to Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people have pointed out that he
Speaker 2: not only was telling him, he's like you need to
Speaker 2: shut some people are saying you need to shut your
Speaker 2: fucking mouth. I didn't hear that. It looks like his
Speaker 2: mouth does do like a f thing, But the audio
Speaker 2: sounds more like you need to shut your mouth when
Speaker 2: Trump wasn't even talking. But the one we do here
Speaker 2: very well is when he goes again at the this
Speaker 2: motherfucker is at the resolute.
Speaker 1: At the Resolute Trump this little three year old.
Speaker 2: I'll say it out loud so you can hear, you
Speaker 2: can kind of process what you're hearing. He says, you're
Speaker 2: not the president and you need to go away. This
Speaker 2: is Elon Musk's son, Extra African Real saying this to
Speaker 2: the president because I don't know how to pronounce his
Speaker 2: motherfucker's name.
Speaker 1: It's the miss. Okay, one more time. You can hear
Speaker 1: it in the background, restore us again. You're not the president,
Speaker 1: not the president.
Speaker 2: You need to go Why chilling, bone chilling one. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know what is this full hearing behind closed doors,
Speaker 2: namely the doors that his father slams in his face
Speaker 2: when he's done using him as a meat shield. But
Speaker 2: you can only imagine what he overhears to be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's like the old dude that we just make fun of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's just and then he picked his
Speaker 1: nose and wiped it on the resolute desk. How you
Speaker 1: like here here, take that take that pitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, couldn't have been more disrespectful to Donald Trump. The
Speaker 1: explicit purpose of this press conference was to prove that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was like that it was a partnership that
Speaker 1: like they knew what was going on, and then they
Speaker 1: couldn't have scripted it any better to just make it
Speaker 1: look like Elon Musk was dominating this motherfucker. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had his for like whatever, how old ever old? This
Speaker 1: child is just whispering shit. You like, keep your mouth shut,
Speaker 1: that's right, boy.
Speaker 2: Remember it used to be Rudy Giuliani's kid that was
Speaker 2: like most annoying little asshole.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I don't. I don't find this kid
Speaker 1: annoying at all. I like what he's doing.
Speaker 2: Someone on like right wing cope that account posted it
Speaker 2: on Blue Sky that's where like that clip was from,
Speaker 2: and someone and he said, this kid's got more balls
Speaker 2: than all the Republicans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. He's part of the resistance.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, But I think what's fucked up is
Speaker 2: that it's like the worst case scenarios that like his
Speaker 2: dad is like that man.
Speaker 1: Is not the president's son. I am, yeah, and he
Speaker 1: needs to go away.
Speaker 2: If he told you to do something, you tell me
Speaker 2: to shut his fucking mouth, all right.
Speaker 1: You don't think he's like gonna be like our Luke
Speaker 1: Skywalker and he's saying the same ship to his dad.
Speaker 1: You're an evil come for you. All right? How are
Speaker 1: the ice raids go? Who are they going as planned?
Speaker 1: Because a bit of ish news.
Speaker 2: Obviously we're still dealing with like absolutely immoral and illegal, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, raids being perpetrated by ICE. And we mentioned
Speaker 2: earlier this week that border fere Tom Homan was really
Speaker 2: upset that people are arming themselves with knowledge of America's
Speaker 2: laws terms and conditions do apply to thwart the activities
Speaker 2: of ICE agents, And it was it was weird in
Speaker 2: that quote to hear that highly educated immigrants were the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was not happy about that.
Speaker 2: Hey, they're way too educated anyway, So I thought there
Speaker 2: weren't any of those.
Speaker 1: I thought that was after people who were not not
Speaker 1: the millions.
Speaker 2: Were going after they're way too fucking smart for us. Man,
Speaker 2: we knock on the door like can we come in illegally?
Speaker 2: And they're like no.
Speaker 1: Fuck.
Speaker 2: But again, things aren't really going to according to plan.
Speaker 2: So the thing about trying to deport millions of people
Speaker 2: is that you're trying to deport fucking millions of people.
Speaker 2: And this was a very simple fact that many experts
Speaker 2: had pointed out when Trump kept promising this terror campaign
Speaker 2: during the election, So like, in order to deport even
Speaker 2: one million people in a calendar year, ICE agents would
Speaker 2: need to hit a daily rate of twenty seven hundred people.
Speaker 2: The most they've done is eleven hundred, and the numbers
Speaker 2: look like they're closer to eight hundred a day, but
Speaker 2: they've stopped reporting, like for nine days now, we haven't
Speaker 2: heard anything, when before they were like, there's so many.
Speaker 2: I think as the numbers go down, they're like, all right, right,
Speaker 2: I think we're off this shit. And let's say, even
Speaker 2: if you were able to hit those numbers, where do
Speaker 2: you put people because they're running out of capacity local jails,
Speaker 2: maybe new contracts with private prison industry, yeah, probably, but
Speaker 2: even they aren't able to deliver the kind of capacity
Speaker 2: that Trump is looking for. And even if they had
Speaker 2: the capacity to lock these people up, well the fuck's
Speaker 2: gonna do the work because ICE's own estimates say they're
Speaker 2: about thirty thousand people short of a full on expulsion campaign.
Speaker 2: And even if you had the fucking people, how are
Speaker 2: you going to want to fucking pay for this massive operation?
Speaker 2: Because well, I mean, we the tax payers obviously are
Speaker 2: going to get our pockets ran.
Speaker 1: But yeah, However, the question, my dear boy, is not
Speaker 1: how we are going to it's how you are going
Speaker 1: to going to pay for the brutalization of my neighbors
Speaker 1: and people that depend on to have my life moving
Speaker 1: in a positive direction. Anyway, The White House is currently
Speaker 1: begging Congress for one hundred and seventy five billion dollars,
Speaker 1: but again.
Speaker 2: That would require a functioning Congress to make that happen,
Speaker 2: so we'll see how that works. And the other ironic
Speaker 2: part about all of this is that the administration basically
Speaker 2: made all those raids like TV spectacles, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like where it's like, yeah, we're doing ride alongs.
Speaker 2: It's like and they're all was like, we want to
Speaker 2: show up our supporters that we know how to wear
Speaker 2: a cowboy hat and be racist at the same time,
Speaker 2: like Christy Nome did on a on a horse. But
Speaker 2: apparently the intense media coverage has also undermined the raids
Speaker 2: because too many people just know what Ice is up
Speaker 2: to just turning on the TV. And Tom Holman's like,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like, I'm not gonna say that was
Speaker 2: a mistake, but it would maybe we do a little
Speaker 2: less because they were terrible at this ship. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, a slight silver.
Speaker 1: Like literally, you know, for this fascist authoritarian regime, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, a great NBA prospect there in the early
Speaker 1: days of open outright fascism where they're not even trying
Speaker 1: to hide it. So maybe they're just you know, they're
Speaker 1: not used to the pace of the NBA.
Speaker 2: You know, they're they blow out both acls and they disappear.
Speaker 1: They'll just be like, yeah, we we put up bad
Speaker 1: numbers and we need more funding and we need more
Speaker 1: time for two, I don't know, twenty more years.
Speaker 2: An athlete be like, yeah, man, look when I look,
Speaker 2: I know I'm putting up bad numbers, but that's because
Speaker 2: I need more money.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean it is basically how a lot of
Speaker 1: capitalism works.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1: I mean, we just don't let our athletes get away
Speaker 1: with it. For some reason, something about the athletes that
Speaker 1: doesn't appeal to that mainstream media sensibility. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, anyways, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back and usually
Speaker 1: I have no notes for my favorite podcast, the Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan experience. But he was kind of summarizing why we
Speaker 1: should kind of all trust what's going on in Washington
Speaker 1: right now in a way that I thought was a
Speaker 1: really fresh and interesting angle. So we just wanted to
Speaker 1: let him speak it real quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think this is in regards to everyone just being
Speaker 2: all fucking scaredy cat on their scaredy cat shit about
Speaker 2: Elon just fucking absconding with your money. Well, just shut up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, that's fun.
Speaker 3: And then this this other thing about Elon E's gonna
Speaker 3: steal everybody's money. He has four hundred billion dollars. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you he's not gonna steal your money. I'm telling
Speaker 3: you that's not what he's doing. What he's doing is
Speaker 3: he's a super genius that's been fucked with. Okay, and
Speaker 3: when you've been fucked with by these nitwits that hide
Speaker 3: behind three letter agencies and you're dealing with one of
Speaker 3: the smartest people alive, and he helps Donald Trump get
Speaker 3: an office, and he was I want to find out
Speaker 3: what kind of corruption is really around. Well, you fucked up,
Speaker 3: You fucked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum.
Speaker 1: Because he's gonna fucking he's gonna hunt you down.
Speaker 3: He's gonna find out what's going on. And that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good for everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey, he's gonna hunt you down, that's good. Getting haunted
Speaker 2: forever state is mean for everyone.
Speaker 1: I think he's specifically talking about the CIA and FBI,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know again, we're on this podcast. Not
Speaker 1: huge fans of the FBI, I would say, but you.
Speaker 2: Know, I go back and forth. I go back and forth.
Speaker 1: Just the logic that we start with that he has
Speaker 1: four hundred billion dollars and therefore he's not going to
Speaker 1: try and take your money is do.
Speaker 2: You know how greed works?
Speaker 1: Like you have at all? So he got to Joe,
Speaker 1: he got to may I call you Joe, Joseph, he
Speaker 1: got to one hundred billion experience, and he was like
Speaker 1: not enough is not enough, and he just kept being
Speaker 1: like just kept right. You know. The way somebody like
Speaker 1: that gets money makes the money is not how they
Speaker 1: talk about it in their autobiographies, their ghost written. It's
Speaker 1: by exploiting mismatched deals and people who have less power
Speaker 1: than them, and in this case, exploiting government contracts to
Speaker 1: acquire like one hundred billion dollars. Such a irrational, unethical
Speaker 1: amount of wealth. And he was like this, I can't
Speaker 1: sleep at night having one hundred billion dollars. I need
Speaker 1: to get to four hundred billion dollars. And now that
Speaker 1: he has four hundred billion dollars, I just have this
Speaker 1: feeling that people, it's like that guy. Have you seen
Speaker 1: how much alcohol he drank yesterday? He's not gonna drink
Speaker 1: your alcohol.
Speaker 2: Dude, you have three alcohols last night.
Speaker 1: He has an unquenchable lust for money that will never stop.
Speaker 1: What how is that? How is this person just a
Speaker 1: coterier philosopher?
Speaker 2: Dude? Okay, he sniffed up like a half ounce of cocaine.
Speaker 2: You think he's he's gonna take your little grand.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna take more cocaine.
Speaker 2: This is so fucking hair brained. But again, this is
Speaker 2: all part of the full court press that they're doing to,
Speaker 2: you know, inoculate people from arriving at their own collusions
Speaker 2: as to what Elon Musk might be up to. And
Speaker 2: I can only imagine how many dipshits are gonna walkround
Speaker 2: be like, dude, you don't got four hundred billion dollars,
Speaker 2: why would you want more? Cut to there's that report
Speaker 2: that said that the State Department was procuring four hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars in armored fucking Tesla's, and then when the
Speaker 2: news got out, they fucking they basically disappeared that little
Speaker 2: detail and there's like four hundred million dollars for armored vehicles,
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, oh, yeah, the dude is just
Speaker 2: out here straight up running everyone's fucking pockets. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: anyway for anywhere Tesla's.
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's see Google maps deleting bad reviews and turned
Speaker 1: off the review function of the UH for the Gulf
Speaker 1: of America, which I didn't know you could leave reviews
Speaker 1: on different bodies of water. But that's that's fun. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be know how I'm spending my Valentine's to day.
Speaker 1: But people were like this, you know, one star Gulf
Speaker 1: of America, the stinks filled with McDonald's cheeseburgers and oil.
Speaker 1: Bring back Gulf of Mexico. So they deleted those negative
Speaker 1: comments and right now, the most recent review is from
Speaker 1: a month ago. They did the same thing when people
Speaker 1: gave bad reviews to the McDonald's that ratted out Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're on the side of good yeahs, you've
Speaker 2: seen always always making the right decision.
Speaker 1: And speaking of on the side of good Disney employees,
Speaker 1: are you know, just pointing out So ABC paid a
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars settlement to Trump last year over something
Speaker 1: that they could have won in court, but they were like,
Speaker 1: we don't want to be We don't want him to
Speaker 1: be mad at us. We don't want dear leader to
Speaker 1: be mad. Then Disney Next Day trans storyline and an
Speaker 1: upcoming Picks Our movie, and they've now scrapped all trigger
Speaker 1: warnings for racist old cartoons on Disney, plus whittling it
Speaker 1: down to a shortened warning that's buried in the about section.
Speaker 1: And they've reportedly also tossed their DEI initiatives. So just
Speaker 1: fully getting on board the keep Maga happy train.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, by dude, fucking you're such a cool guy,
Speaker 2: Bobby oh Man.
Speaker 1: Listening to this guy on who hosts the Town You

Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna rob. We're gonna rob the cathedral, the
Speaker 2: Hollywood Bowl. You remember that part in the town where
Speaker 2: the cathedral Fenway pass. No, but this guy was on
Speaker 2: the Bill Simmons podcast. They're just like a couple of
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Media movers and shakers. They were like, I agree, I'm
Speaker 1: doing this every nine times out of ten. You gotta just,
Speaker 1: you know, make this Trump stuff go away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just gotta bend over, just dine, bend over,
Speaker 2: just open your mouth wide out and let him run
Speaker 2: the shitty boot all up and down. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 2: you gotta do. And then hopefully you'll pray every night
Speaker 2: that it doesn't come for you.
Speaker 1: Eventually, it probably won't. It probably won't. You just got
Speaker 1: to make that stuff go away and be nice, be
Speaker 1: nice to Donnie Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Disney employees seem to be like recognizing that this
Speaker 1: is happening, and you know, are giving interviews being like, wow,
Speaker 1: it seems like Disney's business is now keeping Mega happy
Speaker 1: for a living.
Speaker 2: Yeah so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, can't wait, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: can't wait to take out a home loan sized loan
Speaker 2: to go to Walt Disney World and see what's like.
Speaker 2: Did you see there was that headline maybe like three
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Disney is like, I think everything costs too much.
Speaker 2: Our parks, like the internally, they just found out it
Speaker 2: might be too much based on what we're seeing in
Speaker 2: the flattening of any kind of profits because we just
Speaker 2: turned up the volume to be like, well, we'll only
Speaker 2: appeal to people with a lot of money or people
Speaker 2: who will do anything to come it up, and I
