Speaker 1: to the story at the beginning in the end, and
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you what it is.

Speaker 2: I just looks like this is real steak though in
Speaker 2: the pictures is there's no fry to it? No, this
Speaker 2: is a straight up steak, just a little snakes that
Speaker 2: it looks like it looks like they're like, baby, let
Speaker 2: me cut up your meat.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, that actually looks pretty good. All right, never mind,
Speaker 1: Glad I didn't just spend a bunch of time talking
Speaker 1: about fried steak.
Speaker 2: Cheah. I mean, I'm on board, I'm back. I'm yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm curious. It's not how you look.
Speaker 2: It's hard to mass cook steak. I'm like that.
Speaker 1: So I'm but if anybody can, it's Army's. They've got
Speaker 1: the meats. They do have the meats.
Speaker 2: I had up man, I I was sick of beef
Speaker 2: and cheddars. But when I took that road trip recently
Speaker 2: over Easter, ye up up up the five. Her Majesty
Speaker 2: loves Arbi's because she used to work by the one
Speaker 2: on sunset when it was still open, and she's like,
Speaker 2: their Halapenio poppers are so good and they're blow chicken sliders.
Speaker 2: I had both. I'm like, these are the most normal
Speaker 2: fast food. I thought they were different. I'm like, Jack
Speaker 2: in the boxes are better than this one, and the
Speaker 2: Buffalo sider is so pedestrian. I'm like, you gotta eat
Speaker 2: the fucking beef and chats like no disgust. Yeah. Got.
Speaker 1: There's something about like being like when you're really hungry
Speaker 1: in your like twenties or something like that first job
Speaker 1: hunger that like never quite leaves you just like imprints
Speaker 1: on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what were you eating? I had?
Speaker 1: So I worked my first, very first job in high
Speaker 1: school was as a bus boy at an Italian restaurant, okay,
Speaker 1: and I just remember looking at the food as I
Speaker 1: was like busting people's table, being like, God, damn it,
Speaker 1: I want to eat every bite that this person left
Speaker 1: on the table. I was so hungry and so I
Speaker 1: I think that at least partially has something to do
Speaker 1: with how much I love Italian food. In the cart,
Speaker 1: you ever eat the leavings, Yeah, I definitely take the leaving.
Speaker 1: I don't think I did it at that job because
Speaker 1: I was like, I was a little scared, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get kicked out for the leavings just.
Speaker 2: By part of the plate. Dude, this this mashed potato
Speaker 2: scoop is immaculate. I'm sorry it didn't touch anything.
Speaker 1: But then uh my next like waiting job, I I
Speaker 1: would just eat the ship out of some fries man, Yeah, fries,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's his own food group.
Speaker 2: I start on that Gordon Ramsay show, Hell's Kitchen, that
Speaker 2: competition show, and like all these all the food that
Speaker 2: comes at, Like you know, there's like a fake restaurant
Speaker 2: where people eat at. We would all we would fucking
Speaker 2: because they would also it's like a produced show, so
Speaker 2: they would put out like extra food just for like
Speaker 2: the visuals of the show, and some so the server.
Speaker 2: Some would just take it straight to the back and
Speaker 2: just put it on this table because it was just
Speaker 2: for the camera. And we would all fucking fight over
Speaker 2: these fucking pints of food, like truly, like that's not
Speaker 2: even fair. The last time there was duck last night,
Speaker 2: you got the first fucking bite.
Speaker 1: And they're like trying to bite each other like dogs
Speaker 1: when the food gets put out for both of them
Speaker 1: at once.
Speaker 2: We look like like Pirates of the Caribbean animatronics. Like
Speaker 2: people just absolutely lost it over like scraps of food.
Speaker 1: You have a saber in one hand waving it.
Speaker 2: Just like biting it, like holding like a fucking club
Speaker 2: that has a flame on the end. Oh well, we'll
Speaker 2: see what happens.
Speaker 1: Let's let's check in with the Democrats. A couple of
Speaker 1: stories break them through the big one. I'd say, there's
Speaker 1: a new book coming out about what's it called Original Sin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got on the cover it's Joe Biden with his
Speaker 1: hands over his eyes.
Speaker 2: Yep. Just gonna say.
Speaker 1: If I'm ever in a moody photo shoot and they're like,
Speaker 1: all right between like do a serious one and now
Speaker 1: a fun one, They're like, and do one with your
Speaker 1: hands over your eyes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, couldn't be me. I'm not gonna use this on
Speaker 2: a book about how I'm senile, aren't you. No, You're
Speaker 2: a good photo to have floating out there on the
Speaker 2: off chance that you ruin the future of the country
Speaker 2: through uh just insane hubris. I'm curious if that's photoshopped
Speaker 2: or that's a genuine photo of Biden actually covering his face,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, because it's framed in a
Speaker 2: way that you could just cleverly get another mummy's hands
Speaker 2: to be pretend Biden hands. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just about to say, well, Brian the editor
Speaker 1: put in the chat that they were just like, all right,
Speaker 1: mister president played peekaboo.
Speaker 2: That's how they got his mental acuity test. Mister president. Hey,
Speaker 2: where'd you go? Man, I'm not calling for it this time. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: then cover your mister president. It was just okay, but
Speaker 2: supposedly pikaboo Pikaboo. That song's really had.
Speaker 1: That was the very first song off that album that
Speaker 1: we were like, God, we love that song. And now
Speaker 1: it's like it's on the NBA Playoffs. It's like in
Speaker 1: every commercial. Very surprised by how mainstream.
Speaker 2: Just the opening of that, I mean, does feel like
Speaker 2: something where Joe Biden is like, what they talk about,
Speaker 2: they talk about, what they talk about, what they talk
Speaker 2: on they talk about nothing. Yeah, that was his internal monologue.
Speaker 2: Drop what they talk about? They how do they ghet
Speaker 2: these boogers on my shirt eighty years old? Like? What
Speaker 2: the fuck?
Speaker 1: So this is this is a book where they interviewed
Speaker 1: Democratic strategists and uh, you know, people behind both the
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris campaign, and they are just taking this
Speaker 1: opportunity to fucking throw his ass under the bus. One
Speaker 1: prominent Democratic strategist who publicly defended Biden claimed that he
Speaker 1: quote stole an election from the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: He stole it from the American people.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Big Tim Robinson and a hot dog suit
Speaker 1: energy coming from a Democratic strategist there who publicly like,
Speaker 1: who's defending him? When weed to know that he couldn't no.
Speaker 2: No, we should get a name. So these people are
Speaker 2: fucking never fucking listened to, Like, this is the exact
Speaker 2: shit that irritates me to the point of that's like
Speaker 2: such a light word, irritates fucking I'm using my shit
Speaker 2: over the fact that these people are so opportunistic to
Speaker 2: take the fucking consultant money and be like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is it, this is gonna work, there's gonna work.
Speaker 2: And then afterwards like he fucked us, he stole an
Speaker 2: election from the Democratic Party and the people, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I was raw ring it in public and saying everything
Speaker 2: was okay, we're fine.
Speaker 1: Everybody needs to stop with the bed wedding. Remember that, right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh man, the crooked guys.
Speaker 2: Everybody's got to stop with the bed wedding. The bed
Speaker 2: wedding is coming from inside the presidential bedroom. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, in this case, there is literal bed wedding happening
Speaker 1: inside his inner circle.
Speaker 2: Also, this one is getting a lot of headlines.
Speaker 1: His inner circle had a secret plan to transfer him
Speaker 1: to a wheelchair if he was re elected.
Speaker 2: If as like a treat. You know, you can have
Speaker 2: a wheelchair as a treat if you defeat Donald Trump
Speaker 2: in the general election. Because they want to do it.
Speaker 1: Buff, Like they were like, the responsible thing to do
Speaker 1: would be put this motherfucker in a wheelchair. Now, Like
Speaker 1: you guys think it's nerve racking to watch him try
Speaker 1: to finish a sentence, how about just trying to like
Speaker 1: go down some stage. Yeah, yeah, walk on a stage,
Speaker 1: Like that's what we should be worried, Like that's the
Speaker 1: level of concern we have. But unfortunately, like that's not
Speaker 1: gonna win the election. And so they were like, we're
Speaker 1: gonna hold off and just you know, like it sounds
Speaker 1: like it went way better than it could have, Like
Speaker 1: the way like their ability to hide this went way
Speaker 1: better because he didn't like fall over a ton of
Speaker 1: times in public.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean, the best job for them,
Speaker 2: even though most of us were watching him and going,
Speaker 2: get this guy the fuck out of here. Are you serious,
Speaker 2: don't run him, do not run him? And yeah, here
Speaker 2: we are now, and they're like, actually, we knew he was.
Speaker 2: He was cooked from the get go. You're like, it didn't.
Speaker 1: Pluff, who worked on Harris's campaign, was quoted as saying
Speaker 1: that the campaign was a fucking nightmare because Biden totally
Speaker 1: fucked us. Wow, they're talking tough now that there's absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing to be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Every I hate this revision as shit,
Speaker 2: like everyone if everyone saw it, because everyone's like, we
Speaker 2: knew how bad it was. Well, guess what. You're also
Speaker 2: the people who were fucking standing idly by, and now
Speaker 2: afterwards you're like, they fucked Biden really fucked us. Yeah
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't make it sound this obvious, like he literally
Speaker 1: says in the book and it's all Biden Pluff ads,
Speaker 1: he totally fucked us.
Speaker 2: It's all his fault. It's like, what, No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, David Pluff. Your two thousand and eight Obama
Speaker 2: fucking playbook does not work. In twenty twenty four, Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, I just got a New York Times like news
Speaker 1: update push notification where they were like we talked to
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two Democratic strategists to see how the Democrats
Speaker 1: can fix I was like, for real, like that, what?
Speaker 2: How? How is that still what you're doing. That's like
Speaker 2: being like we went back in time to ask a
Speaker 2: cave person how we can tackle the AI problem right exactly?
Speaker 1: How the senior aide who quote quit the White House
Speaker 1: because they did not think Biden should run. Told Taper
Speaker 1: and Thompson that we attempted to shield him from his
Speaker 1: own staff. So many people we didn't. So many people
Speaker 1: didn't realize the extent of the decline beginning in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three.
Speaker 2: God, so they even his own staff didn't realize it.
Speaker 2: This is so again irritating. I might add to read
Speaker 2: all of this stuff because you couple that with everything
Speaker 2: we're seeing now. Like Amy Klobachar recently went on NBC
Speaker 2: and said this quote, you know, everything we look at
Speaker 2: in a rear view mirror after you lose an election. Yes,
Speaker 2: we would have been served better by a primary, but
Speaker 2: we are where we are. I'm not interested in going
Speaker 2: backwards in time. I'm interested in going forward, and I'm
Speaker 2: interested in I'm focused on helping the American people.
Speaker 1: I'm interested in going forward and doing that shit.
Speaker 2: All again, all over again.
Speaker 1: I will keep my mouth shut just based on whatever
Speaker 1: the DNC is doing, it's gonna be Boodha Judge AOC.
Speaker 2: I feel like, right, it's like that's who's going to
Speaker 2: come down to. They love Buddha Jedge. I think there's
Speaker 2: Pritzker and Newsom are definitely also people that I think
Speaker 2: they're also thinking about too, because here's the other because
Speaker 2: we're all we talk about, right is in the aftermath
Speaker 2: of this terrible fucking election loss. It's like Democrats need
Speaker 2: to fucking wake the fuck up. The problem is the
Speaker 2: status quo is killing people. The first person to reach
Speaker 2: the we're not the status quo anymore finish line is
Speaker 2: going to do much better in the next election. And
Speaker 2: for them, obviously that's impossible because they're so entrenched in
Speaker 2: their ideology. But that's the state of things. And then
Speaker 2: like you have like David Hog right, like we just
Speaker 2: found out that the DNC is about to make a vote,
Speaker 2: take a vote to potentially strip him of his vice
Speaker 2: chair position and make it because he's openly being like
Speaker 2: we need some new blood still, Okay, so there's a
Speaker 2: little bit of contention here. Another person, Malcolm Kenyato, is
Speaker 2: also a vice chair who would also have to he's
Speaker 2: in the same position as David Hogg. Apparently there was
Speaker 2: some kind of procedural error that they're saying would like
Speaker 2: necessitate another election or vote on this has publicly said
Speaker 2: that David Hogg is making this story about him and
Speaker 2: that the complaint about his position came well before or
Speaker 2: he even announced this like pack that he was launching
Speaker 2: to primary Democratic incumbents, but the timing is odd either way,
Speaker 2: given the DNC's propensity to purge people that rock the vote. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's like everything's like, oh, you guys are going
Speaker 2: right back to fucking falling right back into the bullshit
Speaker 2: that got you here in the first place. Like this
Speaker 2: these Biden book quotes are just like it's not us.
Speaker 2: It was fucking Biden. It's not us, it's all Biden
Speaker 2: or the other ones, Like it's all the people who
Speaker 2: cared about Gaza. It's their fault. It's like, that's no
Speaker 2: democracy's work, Like you don't you're you're you're you're supposed
Speaker 2: to court a vote and if you don't get them,
Speaker 2: that means you didn't court a sufficient vote to win.
Speaker 2: That's like you can't have a business. Or you sell
Speaker 2: rotten meat and you're like, well it went down because
Speaker 2: no one wants to eat rotten meat.
Speaker 1: I mean, the thought for them to say is he
Speaker 1: fucked us because Harris was not able to run away
Speaker 1: from him, like she felt like she had to like
Speaker 1: back all of his policies, like that's the only way
Speaker 1: that I could see him fucking them because like did
Speaker 1: he force Harris to run as like a Cheney endorsed
Speaker 1: GOP candidate.
Speaker 2: Basically he talked.
Speaker 1: More about like her gun than she did about you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know Biden's support of Israeli genocide like that.
Speaker 2: I mean a little bit. I'll talk about a little
Speaker 2: bit in that I talk about how I don't want.
Speaker 1: To talk to the activists, right exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and then like Jasmine Crockett to your point
Speaker 2: about like which white guy is it gonna be? This
Speaker 2: is what she said recently, like on like a serious
Speaker 2: XM appearance, you did quote it is this fear that
Speaker 2: the people within the party, within the part primary system
Speaker 2: will have about voting for a woman, because every time
Speaker 2: we voted for a woman we've lost so far. I
Speaker 2: think that that's natural, that's a natural fear because we
Speaker 2: just want to win. So there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: that are like, you know what, like let's go find
Speaker 2: the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: just saying major So she said, then major donors are
Speaker 2: excited about quote one specific candidate quote. I had a
Speaker 2: donor on the phone with me telling me that all
Speaker 2: the donors are lining up behind that candidate, so I
Speaker 2: can tell and I tell you it's not a black
Speaker 2: person nor a woman. So they have quote unquote, they
Speaker 2: have chosen. She added. When I say they, it's the
Speaker 2: same donors that most likely had their opinions about Joe
Speaker 2: Biden and moved, so like that would be the they
Speaker 2: that I would talk about in this instance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's Budhaje because first of all, she
Speaker 1: didn't say straight white man, and second of all, I
Speaker 1: just I feel like Buddhaja allows them to be like
Speaker 1: and he look at him. He has these good social
Speaker 1: media eclips where he's like owning people on their podcast.
Speaker 2: Wasn't it the High Hopes song that his campaign was
Speaker 2: playing High High Hopes for Hopes And You're like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, man, that's not the energy in America right now.
Speaker 2: It's like so sanitized.
Speaker 1: And I feel like he's coming back with like dark
Speaker 1: bodhajege where he's like got like three days growth of
Speaker 1: beard and he's just like coming on being like, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like for how scared the Democrats are of
Speaker 1: like gay people and fighting for gay people's rights that
Speaker 1: they would almost be like it can't be booted, Like
Speaker 1: we don't even you know what they're gonna They're gonna
Speaker 1: hammer us on the fact that he's gay. It was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the kind of regressive thinking the
Speaker 1: DNC would have given.
Speaker 2: They're like sure the Goddess would divey them, ad, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: They wanted to be got by the day of them
Speaker 1: AD Like they were just waiting for that so that they.
Speaker 2: Could throw and throw another group of people under the
Speaker 2: bus rather than your inability to court the votes that
Speaker 2: were there.
Speaker 1: That fucks with our ability to think triangulation is a
Speaker 1: good idea, and so we're gonna we're gonna claim that.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Republican set match are also just as
Speaker 2: much like in quote unquote disarray, because like you look
Speaker 2: at this budget bill they just put out. They're gonna
Speaker 2: have to make eight hundred and eighty billion dollars and
Speaker 2: cuts to medicaid, and yeah, that's a lot. Josh Holly,
Speaker 2: Senator Josh Holly, the fucking biggest coward on the Capitol.
Speaker 2: He's even like, I don't know, this isn't a good
Speaker 2: look for us. This is like political suicide. Fucking with
Speaker 2: something like medicaid. I don't know if y'all are actually
Speaker 2: understanding this. So they're just in a weird place. You're like,
Speaker 2: but we have to feed the rich hogs their tax cuts? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: how do we do it? Didn't? Uh?
Speaker 1: The FBI guy, Trump's FBI guy just like show up
Speaker 1: and like not have his budget.
Speaker 2: Cash, Like yeah, a budget beating. He is like patting
Speaker 2: his He's like shit and there, yeah, and I remember that.
Speaker 2: The vice chair, the co chair or the ranking member
Speaker 2: on that community is like, you need to have this legally, buddy,
Speaker 2: what are you doing? And he I mean credit him.
Speaker 2: He's such a bullshitter that, you know, he seamlessly found
Speaker 2: some really tired excuse to be like working with our
Speaker 2: agency partners, and we are finalizing that and I will
Speaker 2: bring that and I will. She's like, are you violating
Speaker 2: the law right now because legally you need to have
Speaker 2: come with it like a pot luck and I'm working
Speaker 2: with my agency.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about what Trump's up to, and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back. What's he up to? Trying to overthrow the
Speaker 2: Postal Service? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's that.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this is old new Like during during
Speaker 1: the first administration, he kept talking about how we should
Speaker 1: privatize the US Postal Service and then you know, earlier
Speaker 1: this week, David Steiner was appointed as the next Postmaster
Speaker 1: General and CEO of the US Postal Service. And that
Speaker 1: appointment was fish shat Yeah, fishier than JM. Rope Captain
Speaker 1: Highliner's body. Odor I had to look into who Captain
Speaker 1: Highliner was. He's the guy from like the fish sticks
Speaker 1: ads say fish here. Then last night's NBA Draft lottery,
Speaker 1: Oh you want to?
Speaker 2: I mean, we can't say it on the other should
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? You know that straight off
Speaker 2: the docks.
Speaker 1: That's generally not an NBA conspiracy theorist, but that should is.
Speaker 1: I mean a Lakers year after the Lakers get a
Speaker 1: suspiciously good player traded to them, that team that trades
Speaker 1: the really good player gets the number one pick.
Speaker 2: I mean, but at least our trade for a d
Speaker 2: wasn't as janky as the one for a Luk. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you gave up a lot, Yeah, we gave up a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it is ironic. It's like you give us a
Speaker 2: dynastic like a fucking generational talent in the NBA, and
Speaker 2: we will respond with one first first pick for you.
Speaker 1: One number one pick, which, like in retrospect, the only
Speaker 1: thing that if you assume that that number one pick
Speaker 1: was involved in the trade, it's the only way the
Speaker 1: trade now makes sense, right, Like if you're just like, okay,
Speaker 1: Luca for Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag, then yeah that
Speaker 1: makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you're like, oh, yeah, we can work
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 1: Anyways, for non NBA fans probably don't give a shit
Speaker 1: about this, but it is very interesting.
Speaker 2: Yet, said Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart. That's right,
Speaker 2: Josh Hart. Josh Hart, look at you now, Hey, worked
Speaker 2: out for you, buddy.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Knicks and sorry to Celtics fans
Speaker 1: and of course Jason Tatum. You really hate to see
Speaker 1: that happen, you do.
Speaker 2: There's another headline a lot. There's a few more aids.
Speaker 2: Two AIDS have now quit John Fetterman's office because it
Speaker 2: seems like it's getting worse and worse.
Speaker 1: Now. It really feels like it's a thing where like
Speaker 1: people should be like we're just say for safety, people
Speaker 1: should be get away from that.
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that so much of like the
Speaker 2: center left media is openly questioning where he's at, shows
Speaker 2: that like the machine is already it's moving against him.
Speaker 1: But just back to the post office because that's not
Speaker 1: going to exist pretty soon. Steiner is a member of
Speaker 1: the FedEx Board of Directors.
Speaker 2: He knows he gets it right.
Speaker 1: It's so the selection is very you know, questionable, what
Speaker 1: would have been very questionable. And then they also announced
Speaker 1: his selection without doing the vote publicly like you're supposed to.
Speaker 1: They were just like and it's Steiner's a guy, So Steiner,
Speaker 1: which makes sense because Trump was threatening to fire everybody
Speaker 1: on that board if he didn't get elected the board
Speaker 1: of governor. So it's I don't know what this looks.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just like the post office no longer exists.
Speaker 1: I hadn't realized, but of course it makes sense that
Speaker 1: like fed X up, like all the for profit delivery
Speaker 1: services have like from day one, been like we just
Speaker 1: got to take the post office out there. It's so
Speaker 1: frustrating to us that they can that they will just
Speaker 1: do what we do but for free, Like this is terrible.
Speaker 2: We need to make people pay for this shit. It's
Speaker 2: like one of the few things that we have that's
Speaker 2: good in this country is our postal service. Like fucking
Speaker 2: hell man, it's and now Trump's in uh Saudi Arabia
Speaker 2: now just sundowning and riad in front of Mohammed ben Salmon. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just yeah, it's right now. I just want to play
Speaker 2: a clip of this. He's he's rambling right now, like
Speaker 2: in this speech.
Speaker 3: And we have great partners in the world, but we
Speaker 3: have none stronger and no nobody like the gentleman that's
Speaker 3: right before me. He's your greatest representative, greatest representative.
Speaker 2: MBS. Yeah, uh, mister fucking disappear. The fucking journalists.
