Speaker 1: Oh you thought, Oh what I thought? Shit breaking guilty.
Speaker 1: Y'all got to feel me. Oh man, we've got six
Speaker 1: We are recording this as the verdict came in. He
Speaker 1: is guilty on the first sixteen, first nineteen guilty guilty.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, all.
Speaker 2: Thirty four, baby yo, he got that three four autumn
Speaker 2: like Peyton.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, three four like Peyton. Wow. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: don't know what this means, but he is, lady and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: the first American president was a convicted fellow, and the
Speaker 1: second because he's about to win the presidency too. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Least we can say. The latest updates from
Speaker 1: the courtroom. Maggie Haberman. The courtroom is extremely tense as
Speaker 1: we wait for the jurors to be brought in. Trump
Speaker 1: is sitting very still, his head slightly tilted to the right,
Speaker 1: back into the left like a golf commentator. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: what we knew was true. Tell me about the sentencing.
Speaker 2: What's door number one, Judge Mrshan Please, that's what's next.
Speaker 1: This this all happened like we've stopped recording, and then
Speaker 1: immediately they were like verdict. Oh, so sh okay, here
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: And For the record, I don't listen to guilty until
Speaker 2: proven innocent. Jay Z featuring r Kelly just releisurely that
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. Yeah, that is. That's one of
Speaker 2: the worst things to happen, I would yo. I mean
Speaker 2: even best of both worlds.
Speaker 1: You got to get rid of that ship. Bro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that, there's not there we're missing. Yeah, he has
Speaker 1: a song out there where he is with our on
Speaker 1: trial and you're they're not guilty. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, but
Speaker 1: all that to say is Donald Trump, uh convicted fell
Speaker 1: in and there's a there's a victory song Trump not
Speaker 1: guilty that we're never going to get to hear. He
Speaker 1: had it ready to go. He had like a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl shuffle style video to go. We have to change
Speaker 1: it to Donald J. Trump guilty.
Speaker 2: There it is, But again, I don't know what satisfaction
Speaker 2: this truly brings anyone unless there's actual fucking repercussions, and
Speaker 2: in that I don't think jail is a thing. So
Speaker 2: he's just gonna campaign on this is my prediction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, he's gonna try and may I mean
Speaker 1: the way that The New York Times is like written
Speaker 1: about it, like he's like kind of playing up like
Speaker 1: how he's a bad boy. Uh, you know this is
Speaker 1: like the imagery. Yeah, you're gonna get this is as
Speaker 1: good as it's gonna feel, folks, And it is.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pretty good. This is the one part
Speaker 2: I'm using the cope. It's from someone that is inside
Speaker 2: the courthouse. Jonah Bromwich is saying Trump is unresponsive, sitting
Speaker 2: slack at the defense table. Another person who's reporting the
Speaker 2: court I said, quote, he is largely expressionless, a gloom
Speaker 2: look on his face.
Speaker 1: As guilty, has just been sleepy. This is not fair
Speaker 1: to do someone the norm. What if he was asleep,
Speaker 1: they had to wake him up and tell him, hey, fucker,
Speaker 1: wake up. Not guilty, Kelly, not guilty. No, no, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: you're guilty on a whole thirty four charges. Yeah. So yeah,
Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier in the week, like the
Speaker 1: New York State Court particularly gives broad latitude to the
Speaker 1: judge on when he delivers sentencing. What that sentencing looks like.
Speaker 1: This judge in particular has you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: the coverage has been like he's going to send Trump
Speaker 1: to jail for this gag order thing, and then that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen in like some of his statements specifically have
Speaker 1: been like, the last thing I want to do is
Speaker 1: send you to jail, sir. You are you know you're
Speaker 1: running for president? Uh and that would be a first.
Speaker 2: So for these kinds of cases too, like they were
Speaker 2: saying like nine out of ten times that people don't
Speaker 2: see jail, right like in in most circumstances see jail.
Speaker 1: So he might be on like probation uttle little house,
Speaker 1: little housey a campaign to run, right. So, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it is very interesting. This is definitely the more interesting
Speaker 1: direction for things to go. It is a it is
Speaker 1: a conviction. So it's a conviction. That's something. Now now
Speaker 1: what though? So I don't know, I feel happy just generally,
Speaker 1: no no downside to this as far as I can see.
Speaker 1: Somebody who did a thing got caught doing the thing.
Speaker 1: I guess the one downside is, like you said, if
Speaker 1: he's able to turn this into like, uh, I can't
Speaker 1: be stopped. I'm like, help me defeat them, or they're
Speaker 1: gonna throw me in jail. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that's that's pretty much all it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to turn the victim machine up to
Speaker 2: fucking fourteen or thirty four in this case to get people.
Speaker 1: To be like, oh, Mike, they've been there doing to.
Speaker 2: Him, because if he was acquitted, it's teflon Dawn all
Speaker 2: over again. But this time it's we're gonna have to
Speaker 2: go full victim mode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And as we've talked about, like a lot of
Speaker 1: his followers are like, I'm just gonna vote harder. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it just divides the nation further,
Speaker 1: but uh, it feels good on the in the first
Speaker 1: moments to see Tony tone right there. Uh huh, okay,
Speaker 1: feels good to see a wealthy person who has made
Speaker 1: a career of intimidating people in legal context and just
Speaker 1: avoiding consequences with It's good to see him get convicted
Speaker 1: of a felony. I don't, Yeah, but not at all.
Speaker 2: But what I don't know, Like that's it's just like
Speaker 2: now I'm just bracing myself for how this is transformed
Speaker 2: into some fucking wacky shit now for him, because it's
Speaker 2: not could you imagine if he like did like he's like, well,
Speaker 2: I guess I'm a bad guy.
Speaker 1: Folks did a lot of thinking, and I really took
Speaker 1: an l on that one. I don't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with with myself anymore.
Speaker 2: It's not it's gonna freak out and there's gonna be
Speaker 2: all kinds of fun.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some wacky responses from from the base.
Speaker 2: But it's now the latest from Kate Christobek, who's in
Speaker 2: the courthouse.
Speaker 1: Quote, Trump slowly stands up.
Speaker 2: As the jurors exit with a frown on his face.
Speaker 2: He does not look at the jury as they leave,
Speaker 2: his eyes downcast.
Speaker 1: Buddy, because he just really needs a nap. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: we're now okay, Yeah. His lawyer is streaming, is screaming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's Todd Blanche's lawyer.
Speaker 2: Quote is arguing with the jurors gone that the verdict
Speaker 2: is improper and should be tossed because it relied on
Speaker 2: Michael Cohen's testimony, who's also convicted criminal.
Speaker 1: Basically blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, oh well so
Speaker 1: is your boy, so I'll have something in common hey anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's uh, that's the up to the
Speaker 1: latest moment report guilty. And then we also have a
Speaker 1: not unrelated trends coming at you momentarily. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I wanted to let you know in
Speaker 1: case you in case you missed this, In case you.
Speaker 2: Missed it, yep, yeah, in case, in case your step
Speaker 2: mom hasn't texted you saying.
Speaker 1: They convicted Donald got him Trial of the cent dream
Speaker 1: got his butt. All right, y'all happy Trump is guilty
Speaker 1: of a felon knee conviction. Den bye, putting the n
Speaker 1: y and felony. That's right, Hello the Internet, and welcome
Speaker 1: to this episode of Democracy thighs in the Plumpness. That's
Speaker 1: courtesy a Locaroni on the Discord. On the Discord, a
Speaker 1: little play on democracy dies in darkness. Democracy thighs in
Speaker 1: the plumpness. I'm Jack, that is Miles. We were both
Speaker 1: plump legged fellows. I'm gonna get a like tattoo, are you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that new? No? You make that decision just now
Speaker 1: when I said that we have plump legs. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to add something. You're gonna get democracy, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get a tattoo for
Speaker 1: my baby son. Hey.
Speaker 2: And another thing that Her Majesty and I saw that
Speaker 2: were kind of like, oh, we could do something not
Speaker 2: necessarily matching, but like a echo echoing.
Speaker 1: I really wanted one on my leg.
Speaker 2: Ayeah, although doing that sort of seals my fate in
Speaker 2: terms of bathing in a Japanese onsend like a public
Speaker 2: bath because it's just like it's just such a stupid
Speaker 2: dated taboo.
Speaker 1: That's like, yeah, they don't with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll ask you to cover it. Sometimes they put
Speaker 2: a little sticker on it. Like I had a homegrow
Speaker 2: head a full sleeve and they're like, can you cover it?
Speaker 1: She's like, with fucking what? You your arm behind your back?
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: It's gonna freak people out, but I think i'ma have
Speaker 2: to do it. I'm have to I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: do it to him. I'm gonna have to do it
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 1: My brother in law is a really cool, like uh
Speaker 1: kind of cracking eight crack any thing on his leg.
Speaker 1: A lot of people see some cool leg tattoos, some
Speaker 1: cool leg.
Speaker 2: I'm getting up on the thigh like it's not gonna
Speaker 2: be a like a like a quad ankle up type thing,
Speaker 2: Like it's gonna previleged. Yeah, you know, when I'm feeling
Speaker 2: cheeky with the thighs let him out you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, iron him out. You know what I mean? I
Speaker 1: look like John Wayne on vaking. Let him out, Let
Speaker 1: him out? All right? Well I am Jack. That is miles.
Speaker 1: These are the things that are trending on Thursday. No, wow,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go What if I just went full the
Speaker 1: guy for is his name? Fred Marvel to release yet
Speaker 1: another fucking ball popcorn buckets. It's the fucking best.
Speaker 2: Honestly, the Fred Schneider voice is the it's the most
Speaker 2: fun way of talking about some SERI.
Speaker 1: Yes, shit, I know nothing about rhymed about it with
Speaker 1: about and you can get away with it in that voice.
Speaker 1: Called it a a rhyme that's ab or whatever. I'm
Speaker 1: not a poet. Fuck it all right. Marvel is on it.
Speaker 1: They are on trend. There's nothing like did you see
Speaker 1: the thing recently? There are like coke cans with Marvel
Speaker 1: characters on them, like just printed on them. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like an ad campaign where it's like various Marvel superheroes
Speaker 1: are on coke cans. And it just felt like I
Speaker 1: was time traveling to like, yeah, five to ten years ago.
Speaker 1: It was like wait, so like they're not even releasing
Speaker 1: movies with these characters. It feels like but like what, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's like it's on a can. Yeah, it's just on
Speaker 1: a can. It's like collect all of the Marvel superheroes
Speaker 1: that you love, and it just felt so off trend,
Speaker 1: just like behind the times. Oh yeah, what the fuck
Speaker 1: is this? Yeah, it doesn't it feel old? Like doesn't
Speaker 1: it feel like something from anywhere from five to like
Speaker 1: twenty years ago?
Speaker 2: No, this is literally I would say, what twenty five
Speaker 2: years ago when PEPSI did the episode one Phantomnace Collector Cans,
Speaker 2: I remember, I had all those shits. Yeah, And it's
Speaker 2: like also like the characters, like the execution, like the
Speaker 2: ad like feels weird where it's like somebody drinking a
Speaker 2: coke and then like a collector cans so long and
Speaker 2: collector of bottles to remember glass. I remember in the
Speaker 2: ninety four World Cup there were different bottles with the
Speaker 2: flag teams playing in the World Cup you could get but.
Speaker 1: Making a comeback, like I don't I don't mind them
Speaker 1: trying that, but there's just like something about Marvel doing
Speaker 1: it that feels like, yeah, no, this is not who
Speaker 1: you are anymore, Like yeah, yeah, we haven't heard much
Speaker 1: from you and then you're like, what about what if
Speaker 1: we were on your coke pan? What about iron Man? Can?
Speaker 1: There you go iron Can All right? Anyways, they are,
Speaker 1: but that is to contrast with this, where they are
Speaker 1: perfectly on point. They have made a actually this will
Speaker 1: probably go over. Like the Dude Winner, the Dune popcorn
Speaker 1: bucket that everybody wanted to fuck was kind of popular
Speaker 1: because it seemed unintentional or like vaguely unintentional, like it
Speaker 1: was too gruesome for you to get your mind around
Speaker 1: the idea that like they were intentionally doing it right.
Speaker 1: This one, however, I mean, it's associated with Deadpool versus
Speaker 1: Wolverine coming out soon, and we know Deadpool is a
Speaker 1: twisted fucker, so I don't I don't doubt that he
Speaker 1: came up with this idea. But Wolverine just has his
Speaker 1: mouth wide open like an exaggerated sex doll, and it's
Speaker 1: like there's a little tongue at the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: If you want to know what Logan's mouth do, you
Speaker 2: can find out with this bucket. Yes, people are going
Speaker 2: to be gargling their scrotums in this book. I can
Speaker 2: already see it because it has a tongue in everything.
Speaker 1: It has a tongue. The tongue is like weird trailer
Speaker 1: for the bucket features like there, there's like a trailer,
Speaker 1: like a little video that got released. The Fable bucket
Speaker 1: trailer features popcorns suggestively filling Wolverine's mouth again. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Kevin Figy hinted that they would design a
Speaker 1: popcorn bucket in March, back when everyone was talking about
Speaker 1: the Dune popcorn bucket, And I don't know, it just
Speaker 1: feels like like they two months ago it was parodied
Speaker 1: on SNL, So right now it feels like, all right, it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter, you know what I mean, because basically what
Speaker 2: they know is that they can create a consumable good
Speaker 2: that people are going to spend money on Talca It's
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, but I mean, like if you're a
Speaker 2: Dune fan, like I know, like I know someone who
Speaker 2: bought one secondary market to get that Dune fuck bucket
Speaker 2: because they're so like all Dune shit. So I'm sure
Speaker 2: someone who's had a fantasy about WEAPONAX tea baggging Weapon
Speaker 2: X will buy this too.
Speaker 1: Naturally, that you can go on eBay and buy a
Speaker 1: Dune fuck popcorn bucket, I think is what they call
Speaker 1: it an eBay listic get that with a big thing
Speaker 1: of lubriderm for one hundred and thirty five dollars. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this this one feels just a little bit needy. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that they're like, how do we make more money?
Speaker 1: Needy in the sense that my body needs it. My
Speaker 1: body is calling, yeah, to turn this thing into a wonderland,
Speaker 1: all right. The Wall Street Journal I just took note,
Speaker 1: starting to think that maybe this private equity thing not
Speaker 1: the best idea in the world. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The headline you can thank private equity for that enormous
Speaker 2: doctor's bill is very very I mean, we're worried about
Speaker 2: people's medical costs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like I mean, they're basically just saying what
Speaker 1: we've been saying for a year straight.
Speaker 2: That yeah, thanks what thanks for fucking drafting behind us again.
Speaker 1: It does seem like people are just like slowly wanted
Speaker 1: at a time figuring this out, reporting it, but then
Speaker 1: like nothing really gets done about it. They talk about
Speaker 1: how like a private equity company in one instance in
Speaker 1: Texas like bought up all the anesthesiology practices and then
Speaker 1: that allowed them to hike up prices, and they're in
Speaker 1: a competition, what if there was no competition? And then
Speaker 1: when people tried to sue the private equity company, a
Speaker 1: Texas judge threw it out because obviously they are designed
Speaker 1: to be unsuable because they are like these weird, like
Speaker 1: legal conglomeration things that just insert themselves into capitalism and
Speaker 1: function purely as a parasite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's organizationally a labyrinthine shell game where they're like.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know who you can sue.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I mean, I know we are that
Speaker 2: private equity company, but like, yeah, it's actually it's a
Speaker 2: consortium of people that are investing in it's just so disparate.
Speaker 1: They don't even have the intent to know what they're
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just honestly, it's just fucked off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what they usually say. But yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 1: sued the company Welsh Carson, a household name we're all
Speaker 1: familiar with, Oh, Welsh Carson, Anderson and Stowe. Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the judge throw it out was like, no, they're
Speaker 1: legally protected because of reasons, but it's just like they've
Speaker 1: private equity has been spending hundreds of billions of dollars
Speaker 1: acquiring healthcare businesses from emergency care to anesthesiology to nursing homes,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, and then they get away with it.
Speaker 1: They stick themselves into the process. They charge on the
Speaker 1: one hand, they like the prices so that people are
Speaker 1: paying more, and on the other hand, they make the
Speaker 1: companies that they acquire like pay them fees. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: thereby like buying the land that the business is on
Speaker 1: and then making them pay them rent or so they're
Speaker 1: just double. They just insert themselves and start taking money
Speaker 1: from both sides. It's truly like the like the parasite
Speaker 1: thing is not even like a metaphor, it is just
Speaker 1: what they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they It's like it does a dis like there's
Speaker 2: not even a word for how fucked up it works.
Speaker 2: It's like parasite seems like quite like a dull versus like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like a machine that from the
Speaker 2: inside sucks your whole body out and then you're left
Speaker 2: with a skin bag. Yeah that is barely recognizable from
Speaker 2: your once previous form. But they absconded with all the
Speaker 2: good shit at that point.
Speaker 1: But like if private equity companies went away tomorrow, like
Speaker 1: who would be worse off just the owners of private
Speaker 1: equity company and they won't.
Speaker 2: What was the stat that the guy was giving us
Speaker 2: about how like if you added up all the salaries
Speaker 2: of people that work in professional sports, it doesn't even
Speaker 2: come close to adding up what these private equity dos
Speaker 2: are making, Like if you added oh yeah, well not
Speaker 2: even out of here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all those salaries that everyone's like furious about
Speaker 1: because these people are like the greatest athletes in a
Speaker 1: highly competitive world that, like everybody, they are the best
Speaker 1: at a job everybody wants to be the best at.
Speaker 1: We're all mad at how much money they make. And
Speaker 1: then these dipshits who just happen to like graduate from
Speaker 1: Harvard Business School and like just insinuate themselves. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: the one sentence the Wall Street Journal article where they
Speaker 1: put on their Wall Street hat and do the bidding
Speaker 1: of private equity, they're like, there are definitely cases in
Speaker 1: healthcare of private equity investors steering a business they bought
Speaker 1: through a transition of rapid performance improvement by streamlining billing
Speaker 1: and scheduling, later selling it for a profit the same
Speaker 1: efficiency they can bring to other businesses. Like half ad
Speaker 1: everybody knows that you're supposed like that you can improve
Speaker 1: a business by streamlining it like that. It's like such
Speaker 1: a basic like so they come in and invest in,
Speaker 1: like give it better billing and scheduling, and that's worth
Speaker 1: there being an industry that is just destroying the entire
Speaker 1: fucking economy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, more curious about like what's happening in the financial
Speaker 2: sector that the Wall Street Journal is calling out private
Speaker 2: equity like this, because like is it I mean because recently,
Speaker 2: you know, whether it's like Red Lobster or Toys r
Speaker 2: Us or other shit like private equities like in the
Speaker 2: news and some people are like, wait, it sounds like
Speaker 2: they completely fucked that company of it.
Speaker 1: It wasn't endless shrimp, it was endless greed. I definitely
Speaker 1: think it's partially from our talking about on the dailies. Guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Wall Street journals scared. They're like, these guys are
Speaker 1: onto us. We better at fucking like we're on the
Speaker 1: up and up. There also is like starting to be
Speaker 1: like some political like state houses are enacting laws to
Speaker 1: curtail private equity healthcare acquisitions. Congress and regulatory agencies are
Speaker 1: starting to probe the effects of private equity investment. In May,
Speaker 1: the Justice Department created a task force focused on healthcare
Speaker 1: monopolies and collusion. So it feels like institutionally, there might
Speaker 1: be reasons for people to be like, Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: want to act like we weren't just ignoring the shit
Speaker 1: out of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying, like, I feel like this is
Speaker 2: like when to protect the institution of policing, police will
Speaker 2: put out a sacrificial lamb to be right, and that's
Speaker 2: the bad Apple. And once we get rid of the
Speaker 2: bad apple, please stop fucking looking at us. I know
Speaker 2: they're making it hot for the rest of us, but
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, that's what it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's kind of what's happening either.
Speaker 2: Again, my ignorance, like the industry is fucking you know,
Speaker 2: of extreme here. But it just feels like when you
Speaker 2: see something like an industry rag like the Wall Street
Speaker 2: Journal suddenly be like this part is shitty, You're like, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe they're making it too hot for everybody, so you
Speaker 2: got to yeah, well, it's.
Speaker 1: Just like very straightforward that they claim, all right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna come in, We're going to you know, ultimately make
Speaker 1: healthcare more affordable and then they do it and everybody's
Speaker 1: bills go up, right, So like it's hard to argue
Speaker 1: with and people in the in the case of health care,
Speaker 1: because their other like magical solution other than like what
Speaker 1: if this was more efficient? Is uh, what if we
Speaker 1: paid everybody less? You know, people are dying, so on
Speaker 1: the healthcare front, it's going to look be harder for
Speaker 1: them to get out from under. So I feel like
Speaker 1: that's probably that would be a first place that we
Speaker 1: might see there be problems and we might see like
Speaker 1: Congress be like, all right, private equity is cool, but
Speaker 1: it just kissed one do health medical stuff. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we shall see. All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back.
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is now including the records of Negro
Speaker 1: league players in their official stats. Yep, they're putting it
Speaker 1: next to the white players.
Speaker 2: And you will be shocked at what happened when you
Speaker 2: put up the players of color that were kept out
Speaker 2: of the league for seventy years next to their white
Speaker 2: counterparts in Major League Baseball, which is like, you know,
Speaker 2: this is this has been long overdue. But just for example,
Speaker 2: Josh Gibson has now replaced Ty Cobb as the all
Speaker 2: time leader in career batting average with three seven two.
Speaker 2: Cobb's career was three sixty seven. He's also become Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball's all time career leader in slugging percentage and
Speaker 2: on base plus slugging. You know, it's like all kinds
Speaker 2: of stats here, So yeah, basically going past players like
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth, who we know is Dominican, Ted Williams and
Speaker 2: Lou Garrick. But yeah, like, and I just want to say, like,
Speaker 2: there's so there's already obviously such fucking predictable racist backlash
Speaker 2: over the inclusion of these players who everyone who knows
Speaker 2: anything about baseball is, like, dude, these were some of
Speaker 2: the greatest players that were kept out of Major League
Speaker 2: Baseball because of racism.
Speaker 1: Not for any other reason.
Speaker 2: Like you hear all these people be like they're they're
Speaker 2: not even comparable.
Speaker 1: There's no way to know about There's no way to know, dude.
Speaker 2: There actually is kind of a way to know, because
Speaker 2: there were regular fucking exhibition games between teams of Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball and the negro leagues, and guess who won.
Speaker 2: About just over fifty percent of those head to head matchups.
Speaker 1: The Negro League players did.
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah I didn't know that fact, and yeah it
Speaker 2: was like yeah, it's uh. And that's just been like this,
Speaker 2: I think myth that's always been used to basically try
Speaker 2: and not include these statistics to be.
Speaker 1: Like it's that's pretty sick, Like that's that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'll take that in the head to head is like
Speaker 2: most more times than not, I'm beating you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good I would say it is
Speaker 1: a good indicator. They were batting five to seventy, pretty good,
Speaker 1: a good batting average. I get on base five fifty yeah,
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 2: So yeah, again it's like, holy shit, why wasn't this
Speaker 2: happening sooner?
Speaker 1: So I think something like.
Speaker 2: A little over like around tooth, like a little over
Speaker 2: two thousand players are also going to be into the database,
Speaker 2: integrated into the database on major League Baseball dot com.
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming a Josh Gibson biopic is going into
Speaker 1: the like Hollywood machine as we speak. But if not,
Speaker 1: like what the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's so many players like you know,
Speaker 2: satgel Page and fucking Buck Leonard. These are like the
Speaker 2: fucking like those are the ones that people really know
Speaker 2: a lot about. But yeah, there are just yeah, there's
Speaker 2: countless stories about this and also just really interesting about how,
Speaker 2: you know, the negro leagues were sort of kept alive
Speaker 2: through like black business owners who just were able to
Speaker 2: create this despite the racism that existed in Major League baseball.
Speaker 2: So it's not fucking woke DEI shit, it's about putting
Speaker 2: players that were actually better than some of these other players.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, America loves an underdog, but they're not
Speaker 1: going to watch this because you know that's Kenny winning.
Speaker 1: I'm just look, I'm a huge fan of Josh Gibson.
Speaker 1: Josh Gibson's actually my favorite baseball player. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I would have him him Cooperstown ballot. Yeah, a film
Speaker 1: about him is not going to travel in Europe, where
Speaker 1: they are racist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ma, it's uh anyway, so little bits of racism
Speaker 2: are always slightly being addressed.
Speaker 1: But did you did you ever watch that?
Speaker 2: I think it was an HBO movie, Soul of the
Speaker 2: Game that came out in ninety six that had like
Speaker 2: Delroy Lindo and and oh yeah, Michael T.
Speaker 1: Williamson was Josh Delroy Lindo play Satchel Page. Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do remember that. Yeah yeah, all right. And finally,
Speaker 1: just a shout out to I guess cracked dot com
Speaker 1: uh might might have influenced a h slasher movie mask
Speaker 1: There's so there's a new slasher film called In a
Speaker 1: Violent Nature, which is like making it's it's getting buzz
Speaker 1: because it's making people vomit in movie theaters at like Sundance,
Speaker 1: which is always you want that, like that's great buzz.
Speaker 1: In the world of horror films.
Speaker 2: What exactly, there were people like dry heaving or literally
Speaker 2: vomiting in the storm, like.
Speaker 1: This is always a thing that they do where they yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, although I know somebody who passed
Speaker 1: out in Signs. Really yeah that one part where the
Speaker 1: bert runs by between the houses and you're like, ah,
Speaker 1: an ambulance had to be called because they just they
Speaker 1: just went white from it. That's that's wild. People's aliens
Speaker 1: kind of looked like shit.

Speaker 1: wolverine bucket of piss, and the way right up. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so Cracked the website that I used to work at
Speaker 1: with JM one the writers on our show who brought
Speaker 1: this to our attention. He is friends with the people
Speaker 1: who made this movie, but it is getting a lot
Speaker 1: of attention. And the writer director when asked about the
Speaker 1: unique mask worn by the slasher, so the slasher has
Speaker 1: this weird like kind of looks like a combination of
Speaker 1: an old school diving bell and a executioner's mask. And
Speaker 1: he apparently got the idea for the mask from a
Speaker 1: Cracked article that he read years and years and years ago.
Speaker 1: Those just disturbing things from the past that are supposed
Speaker 1: to be comforting, which sounds sounds like a Cracked article.
Speaker 1: Ah man, But I just like the there's so many
Speaker 1: things that could be great slasher movie masks. I feel
Speaker 1: like that is an underutilized like resource history is an
Speaker 1: underutilized resource, or just like the beauty aisle. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: always talk about the like moisturizer face masks like yeah
Speaker 1: that my wife where sometimes are fucking terrifying because they're
Speaker 1: just like take all the like dimension away. Yeah. Dimension
Speaker 1: is just like your face turns into this very terrifying thing.
Speaker 1: Plague masks. I feel like I've been underutilized. And slasher film. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh do you remember the movie The Scout with Brendan
Speaker 2: Fraser and Albert Brooks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a scene that I always think of with
Speaker 2: those green masks where he's being stupid and he's biting
Speaker 2: through a tortilla you'll wear it.
Speaker 1: As it on his face and I'm like, that is
Speaker 1: a freaky fucking mask too, which are Yeah, I just.
Speaker 2: Remember he's like biting holes and he's like wearing a
