Speaker 2: buy on that.
Speaker 1: It's just a drop shipping operation, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But before we get to any of that bullshit, Emily
Speaker 1: van Dyke, we do like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are?
Speaker 3: Oh, I would say my recess search history is how
Speaker 3: many poops per day?
Speaker 4: Four year old?
Speaker 3: I'm really on the poop tracking life, yeah, with my kids,
Speaker 3: because we just got back from Cuba, and so I'm like,
Speaker 3: how many poop?
Speaker 4: There's too many? You know, I don't know if we
Speaker 4: got some sort of intestinal thing or we're just I
Speaker 4: don't know. So that's that's pretty standard.
Speaker 2: Wait, so you're you're wondering if there's too many, like
Speaker 2: you're right now, You're like, yo, you're blowing it up
Speaker 2: pretty frequently right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She does this thing where as soon as I sit
Speaker 3: down to dinner, she's like, I have to go right now,
Speaker 3: So I have to abandon the dinner that I've made
Speaker 3: or bought and I have to go wait in a
Speaker 3: bathroom with her.
Speaker 4: She likes to talk.
Speaker 3: She's aries, you know, so she's really into the poop talk.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I can't. It's it's it's a lot.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of times per day to be interrupted.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, is how many times?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is it? Is there a No? I feel like
Speaker 2: I have a like a little bit over one year old,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, let's do this doing a
Speaker 2: lot of shits, even more and more. But then it's
Speaker 2: like there's really no number. They're like, no, if shit's working,
Speaker 2: that's just yeah, don't worry about it. Sometimes it can
Speaker 2: bear in one day or none for a couple of days,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it turns out there's only two few ships, right yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that you don't want to You don't want
Speaker 1: to get into that business.
Speaker 2: That's a nasty business, the too few ships. Yeah yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So like the deep thoughts from my kids. I have
Speaker 1: a six year old and a seven year old, and
Speaker 1: the deep thoughts come out when they're taking a shit.
Speaker 2: They want to they just want.
Speaker 1: To like ask me questions about the universe and like, wow,
Speaker 1: what goes on outside of like after the universe, what's
Speaker 1: on the outside of that?
Speaker 2: Wa? Wow? Like bro, that's for freshman year of college
Speaker 2: for you to figure that part out. Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My daughter's birthday is on the solar eclipse, so I'm
Speaker 4: gonna have to go into like planets, the moon, the
Speaker 4: whole thing. I get. I mean, we've gone over it,
Speaker 4: but this is going to be very real.
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to swing the solar eclipse as
Speaker 3: her birthday celebration, like the planets and the sun and
Speaker 3: the moon did this for her turning five. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if Party City has
Speaker 3: a solar eclipse.
Speaker 2: Pack the kid. Yeah, right, right, right, man, We're never
Speaker 2: going to get a good solar clips this one. It's like,
Speaker 2: I feel like, right over Paducah, Kentucky, you gotta travel
Speaker 2: for I know, I might have to go to Columbia,
Speaker 2: South Carolina, Nashville, Lincoln, Nebraska, Salem, Washington is probably the
Speaker 2: closest place I could catch it. Damn oh wait, no, no,
Speaker 2: that was the different one. No, no, it's the April
Speaker 2: eighth one, because I'm guessing what time about the April
Speaker 2: eighth one? Yeah, yeah, that one was if you and Dallas,
Speaker 2: Little Rock, Paducah, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Syracuse, Burlington, Vermont, it's coming
Speaker 2: for you straight over.
Speaker 4: That's right. That's right.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna try to talk my mom to go
Speaker 3: down to Indianapolis and catch it. That's where a lot
Speaker 3: of my friends live.
Speaker 2: I would love to see, man, I've every time. Remember
Speaker 2: what was it in twenty seventeen, right when we first
Speaker 2: started recording the show, that happened, and we saw like
Speaker 2: the clips of the eclipse when it just goes straight.
Speaker 1: Down and looked straight up at the Yeah, at the setup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's my that's my Google search.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's it.
Speaker 1: What uh? What something you think is underrated right now?
Speaker 4: Women's rights.
Speaker 3: I thought we had women's rights locked in when I
Speaker 3: was on the come up in my twenties or early thirties,
Speaker 3: I was like, we are really crushing it on women's
Speaker 3: rights right now. No, I didn't know. I didn't know
Speaker 3: that this could all get taken away so fast. We
Speaker 3: got we're fighting for abortions, and we're fighting for we
Speaker 3: got no paid maternity leave, we have no affordable childcare.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're people are saying IVF embryos are kids now.
Speaker 4: It's I didn't realize.
Speaker 3: And then you've got all the microaggressions being a mom
Speaker 3: right now, traveling with my kids still, all the microroggressions
Speaker 3: like what's this mom doing with her two kids out
Speaker 3: in the airport? Get your get your trash ass back
Speaker 3: home and cook and clean and silence where we don't
Speaker 3: have to see. It's like it's all the microaggressions, plus
Speaker 3: the expectations that you have to be like beautiful and
Speaker 3: effervescent and well dressed, and you get no child care
Speaker 3: and you get low wages. I'm just like, come on,
Speaker 3: I thought we were I thought we were past this.
Speaker 3: Now we're just heading back.
Speaker 2: Yeah in America. Yeah huh yeah, we're just talking to
Speaker 2: about how Joe Biden also like just can't straight up
Speaker 2: be like yeah, man, like we're gonna figure this out,
Speaker 2: rather than being like, you know, I'm not. We talked
Speaker 2: about this two episodes ago. He's like, I've never been supportive.
Speaker 2: You know, it's my body. I can do what I
Speaker 2: want with it. It's like, don't say that. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: actually the Lord's It's.
Speaker 3: So interesting because if we were if we were forcing
Speaker 3: Joe Biden to like donate part of his liver to
Speaker 3: save a life, which would basically be the same thing
Speaker 3: using somebody's body to keep another person alive, he would
Speaker 3: be like, oh, no, you're not coming for this liver.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to force me into a liver surgery.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, have you seen the scar?
Speaker 2: I'm not getting that scar? No, no, no, I'm going
Speaker 2: to the beach. I'm going to the beach this summer.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, you also have a Sky on Paw Patrol.
Speaker 3: Oh man, this is this is a deep cut. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys are with the Pop Patrol.
Speaker 3: Maybe you are because you have kids. Man, all right,
Speaker 3: Paw Patrol, you got it all right. So I don't
Speaker 3: know why I've been watching so much Pop Patrol with
Speaker 3: my stun. But Sky, I think is like one of
Speaker 3: the only the only or one of the only girl characters,
Speaker 3: but the only one there.
Speaker 4: Maybe there's one more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like a smurfet type division. Like
Speaker 1: it's that's right, one girl or like maybe maybe another one.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Chase is the main dog or whatever. He always he
Speaker 3: kind of gets all the action, but he is always
Speaker 3: like hetering out on the courage, like he's like, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go save it.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I can't.
Speaker 3: And then Sky's like, I got it, you know, let
Speaker 3: me go up there and save the day. Sky is
Speaker 3: always handling business. She has no fear, she has no excuses,
Speaker 3: and chases up there, getting all the all the action,
Speaker 3: and then they gotta then they gotta make him feel better,
Speaker 3: like that's Okay, Chase, we all get scared. It's like
Speaker 3: Sky doesn't get scared. Skuy's out there in the airplane
Speaker 3: saving the day. I'm just like, man, not even Sky
Speaker 3: can get the get the you know, the accolades that
Speaker 3: she deserves.
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to watch.
Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, and it said it's the guy.
Speaker 2: It's the cop. That's fucking cab does include Chase. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we have established that in this house, we do believe
Speaker 2: a cab doesn't.
Speaker 1: Twitter is Twitter, it's not X and a cab does
Speaker 1: include Chase. Those are the two things on our yard
Speaker 1: sign every day.
Speaker 2: Oh and also meta Facebook is we will never call
Speaker 2: meta our Facebook meta to be fair, nobody else will either. Yeah,
Speaker 2: yes for sure.
Speaker 1: Also just from like a strategic standpoint, like Sky is
Speaker 1: your your like problem solving group has a fucking air force,
Speaker 1: Like it has a clumsy a clumsy fireman is like
Speaker 1: one of the dogs, Chase, who's just yeah, a cowardly
Speaker 1: police officer. So just a police officer. Rubles got tool,
Speaker 1: Rubble's got tools. But then they have air force, like
Speaker 1: that would be that is your best weapon. That is
Speaker 1: that is the leader of your pack. Yeah, is the
Speaker 1: one who can fly, who can control the skies? Yes,
Speaker 1: but yeah they underrate because of women's rights.
Speaker 4: You know, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think, man, Yeah, get your son off that paw patrol.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, we need that copaganda, you know.
Speaker 2: Put him onto something new. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3: And his and his little buddy. What's the what's the
Speaker 3: boy's name? I was like, man, you know what your
Speaker 3: little buddies. It's a it's a bad situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah that I always yeah, I always want to call
Speaker 1: him Chase, but he's not chased. But yeah, there's like
Speaker 1: a human twelve year old boy who is the leader,
Speaker 1: and I do not trust that guy.
Speaker 2: Is that boy white? Yeah? Oh hell no, bro, Yeah
Speaker 2: he's he's the one pulling all the strings getting the
Speaker 2: cops to do things. Okay, well maybe that is good
Speaker 2: for a child to see it, to be like, no,

Speaker 3: just leftovers. And everybody that's single is like, oh you
Speaker 3: on the apps. It's like something you don't want it.
Speaker 3: You don't want it, you know. So I wish we
Speaker 3: could like reinvent like having a personality going outside interacting
Speaker 3: with another person with their personality and y'all have like
Speaker 3: regular chemistry.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, Well, because now it's like it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: one company owns them all and it's like cridal like

Speaker 1: what does that mean? What how is it getting kidnappy?
Speaker 2: Like kidnapper vibes out there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, before you go on a date, you have to
Speaker 3: like share your location with a friend, right, you know,
Speaker 3: kind of like you're starting end times and then yeah,
Speaker 3: people just action acting nuts.
Speaker 1: Right and like to get to make sure the person
Speaker 1: is who they say they are, and you know, make
Speaker 1: them like have a have a picture, like have the
Speaker 1: newspaper in front of them on the day, timing with them.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, that's right, amazing.

Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: and talk about Super Tuesday.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and and the big winners of Super
Speaker 1: Tuesday were, of course, anybody who snagged free donuts as
Speaker 1: part of krispy Kreme's democracy campaign.
Speaker 2: Great, Holy shit.
Speaker 1: I'm always people are like and then like they'll tell
Speaker 1: you to rock the vote, and I'm always like, nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna fucking do that anymore. Like that was such a
Speaker 1: nineties ass like we're we live in a different world.
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna be like, Oh, voting is so cool, let's
Speaker 1: hop on it. And then democracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still get all my voting tips from mud Honey.
Speaker 2: That's just because I remember how they rocked the vote

Speaker 3: MTV did a good job back with those spring break
Speaker 3: parties and my music videos. I mean, they had a
Speaker 3: little rock the Vote moment there in the late nineties
Speaker 3: early two thousands.

Speaker 4: krispy Kreme.
Speaker 2: This is they sad, yikes.
Speaker 4: Krispy Kreme's only corporation defending democraties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they can't even be like unequivocal about it,
Speaker 2: Like what if we just call a democracy just kind
Speaker 2: of take this thing out of it. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: So funny to me that like rock bands were like
Speaker 1: rock the rock the vote like that. That's just like
Speaker 1: not a cool I get if you have the conviction
Speaker 1: to be like vote for this guy because or you know,
Speaker 1: like this this is a side that has beliefs that
Speaker 1: I subscribe to. But to just be like vote man,
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it is like kind of funny. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: that was something we tried.
Speaker 3: It's kind of the message we need, though, Like you
Speaker 3: like music, what about voting? Have you ever thought about
Speaker 3: listening to music and then going to vote, no matter
Speaker 3: your belief.
Speaker 2: System, do something or donut? I don't know, you'll like
Speaker 2: donuts please?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Something unclear, Uh, whether or not customers had to
Speaker 1: choose between two stale terribles that everybody's already sick of,
Speaker 1: or they if they were got to, you know, pick
Speaker 1: their own. But Trump and Biden, predictably being the only
Speaker 1: options for the most part, did pretty well. Obviously, Nicki
Speaker 1: Haley we talked about did not do so well. So
Speaker 1: I guess Trump was not the only option. He was
Speaker 1: kind of the only option that people were picking, and
Speaker 1: so Nicki Haley.
Speaker 2: Has dropped out.
Speaker 1: But people are pointing to their wins on Super Tuesday
Speaker 1: and saying that they exposed some glaring weaknesses in both
Speaker 1: candidates electoral coalitions.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are been like with the amount
Speaker 2: of people that voted for Haley, it's like Trump's got
Speaker 2: a suburban problem, which I think has existed. There's been
Speaker 2: something that's been developing over the last few years anyway.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people too, like who voted for
Speaker 2: Haley or sort of like, I don't know what I'm
Speaker 2: going to do in the fall, so there's you know,
Speaker 2: but let's be real, I have a feeling they'll probably
Speaker 2: just be like, yeah, I guess I'll just vote for
Speaker 2: Trump again. And then with Biden, it was the uncommitted
Speaker 2: movement to vote uncommitted that was spreading a lot of
Speaker 2: people like it's probably just in Michigan. It's probably just
Speaker 2: in Michigan. No. No, if you look at the polling,
Speaker 2: a significant majority of Democrats want a cease fire, and
Speaker 2: the similar majority want the US to stop arming Israel
Speaker 2: like in the sixties, Like, it's not like sixty percentile.
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's that surprising that you saw
Speaker 2: these kinds of big turnouts or at least, you know,
Speaker 2: bigger than expected. Like in North Carolina, twelve and a
Speaker 2: half percent voted no preference, nine percent did so. In Massachusetts,
Speaker 2: ten percent voted uncommitted. In Tennessee and Colorado seven percent
Speaker 2: voted uncommitted or non committed as it's on their ballots.
Speaker 2: And like in other states, some people were said, hey,
Speaker 2: just right in ceasefire as a candidate, but those that's
Speaker 2: a little bit harder to sort of quantify what happened there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean uncommitted got nineteen percent in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Like that's no, that's no joke.
Speaker 3: Give it up to Palaestinians and Arabs and dearborn that
Speaker 3: like put a path forward, like okay, we all are
Speaker 3: feeling the same way. This is an action that we're
Speaker 3: gonna do R And then it was like, all right,
Speaker 3: let's do that.
Speaker 4: You're right, we are.
Speaker 3: Let's let's express together where we're all at so that
Speaker 3: we can see it in percentages. And then you see
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris come out with her whackass immediate ceasefire dot
Speaker 3: dot dot dot.
Speaker 2: Or at least six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the next day, or at least spring break, yeah, yeah, yeah, at.
Speaker 3: Least at least through Easter so that we can all
Speaker 3: have our Easter egg hunts.
Speaker 2: Right and then get back to the terrible realities of
Speaker 2: what our foreign policy looks like. But I mean, I
Speaker 2: think it was something. The amount of people who voted
Speaker 2: uncommitted in Minnesota was I think, like larger than the
Speaker 2: margin that Hillary Clinton won by in twenty sixteen. So
Speaker 2: these aren't insignificant numbers. And I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people it's starting off as being like, we're sending a
Speaker 2: message that, you know, to do something if you want
Speaker 2: us to pull up in November for you, Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: But what the administration is going to do, it's still
Speaker 2: just very it's lackluster. It doesn't seem like it's actually
Speaker 2: taking into account what a lot of his own, you know,
Speaker 2: base of voters is saying. So we'll see, I'm sure
Speaker 2: we'll get some kind of you know, gesture towards a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: But i'd imagine these aren't. These aren't something they're looking at,
Speaker 2: and they can't just like laugh off and be like, ah,
Speaker 2: it's fine, it's fine, it's nothing. It's nothing, it's nothing. No,
Speaker 2: these are these are it's worth looking at. But there's
Speaker 2: also a lot of people like in the punditry class
Speaker 2: like it, don't worry about that. These people are just
Speaker 2: freaking out. And I think that's a really dangerous game
Speaker 2: to play because there are many people who are very
Speaker 2: deeply disaffected by what's happening or also affected by what
Speaker 2: they're seeing and what their government is having a hand in. So,
Speaker 2: you know, it feels like an easy win, you know,
Speaker 2: do the pullings right there for you, Joe Biden, over
Speaker 2: half of your of your base of voters is saying
Speaker 2: there's there's a right way to do things and maybe
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such an easy out for him too, because
Speaker 3: even if he's like, y'all know me, I'm like the
Speaker 3: original pro Israel guy. You know, his speech goes back
Speaker 3: whatever forty years, you know, saying if we didn't.
Speaker 1: Have even Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: This is such an easy out where he's like, I
Speaker 3: don't if it were just me, I would be in
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv tomorrow, right, you know, hug and beebe. But
Speaker 3: my constituents, I mean, it's the easiest out. Like all
Speaker 3: you have to say is my constituents have voted, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do that, and then yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 3: save democracy for four more years. Kind of maybe I
Speaker 3: don't even know if a full one to eighty would
Speaker 3: do it at this point, but yeah.
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to know. And I mean, I think
Speaker 2: for many people are who have watched it all unfolding
Speaker 2: Gaza in the West Bank, are somewhere truly well and done,
Speaker 2: like they're like, I fucking can't do this shit, like
Speaker 2: this is wild that we have a government that could
Speaker 2: look on at this ship and not do anything. And
Speaker 2: so I think there's definitely a group of voters who
Speaker 2: are deep. I don't like, I don't know how many
Speaker 2: can be won back, but shit, you better start trying,
Speaker 2: because if this threat to democracy is that large, then
Speaker 2: you need to look at who you need to win
Speaker 2: and begin to court those votes. Yeah, and not just
Speaker 2: be out here trying to can perform for voters that
Speaker 2: aren't going to bring you into the White House. But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Especially since we've been hearing about no handouts. We don't
Speaker 3: have enough money for loan forgiveness, we don't have enough
Speaker 3: money for mental health, we don't have enough money for
Speaker 3: X y Z, homelessness, housing, everything. We don't have enough money.
Speaker 3: You know, this is it, And we're like Oh, we've
Speaker 3: been sitting on built billions this many billions that could
Speaker 3: have gone to solve a million things and we don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think the first this being the first Instagram daily
Speaker 3: genocide slaughter is a real uh yeah, It's been a
Speaker 3: real turn of the tides.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And there's a lot of reporting that like
Speaker 2: there's like there's gonna be such significant shift from the
Speaker 2: White House. But I think, like many things that we
Speaker 2: hear in politics, we'll believe it. Yeah. Yeah. And I
Speaker 2: think also tonight is the State of the Union address,
Speaker 2: that's a huge moment for Joe Biden to say something
Speaker 2: of consequence, whether or not he's just gonna be like
Speaker 2: fucking Trump, fucking wild y'all. Fuck have you seen what
Speaker 2: he said? He can't even talk. You better, you better
Speaker 2: say something about what's happening in Palestine or else you're
Speaker 2: gonna have a I don't know. It's a big operation.
Speaker 2: This is like one of the most it's a very
Speaker 2: consequential State of the Union, given how support is beginning
Speaker 2: to you know, look like it's you know, not fracturing completely.
Speaker 2: But he has a lot of shit he needs to
Speaker 2: begin to if he wants to write the ship. He
Speaker 2: has a moment to do that tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Trump, I mean, if you're just paying attention to
Speaker 1: what people who support him are putting out there on
Speaker 1: social media, I mean, this guy's got a coalition. Oh
Speaker 1: I got the coalition building man. As he said, there's
Speaker 1: some pictures where he is just surrounded by black Americans
Speaker 1: who just look like they just couldn't be happier.
Speaker 2: They're so happy. As he said, he's like, I believe
Speaker 2: the black voters will support me because I'm also being
Speaker 2: oppressed and persecuted and going to jail. I was like,
Speaker 2: like the fucking take he had, and he's like an
Speaker 2: also sneakers also that part. But these AI images that
Speaker 2: are coming out, like it started like in the last week,
Speaker 2: this MAGA radio host and his like production crew posted
Speaker 2: some AI image of like Trump with his supposed black supporters.
Speaker 2: There's one group where it looks like he's surrounded by
Speaker 2: a group of black women who are damn sure not
Speaker 2: voting for Trump.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: This is all part of like an ongoing narrative that
Speaker 2: conservatives like have been really trying to drum up for
Speaker 2: like since Trump has been office, saying that like, you know,
Speaker 2: black voters are leaving the Democratic Party and are interested
Speaker 2: in the GOP, and they use these kinds of doctored
Speaker 2: and im there is another one with him like on
Speaker 2: a porch with some black guys. There's like a supposed
Speaker 2: black campaign volunteer, MAGA campaign volunteer. And it's wild because,
Speaker 2: like we've said, with AI, you just first look at
Speaker 2: the fingers and then look at the text because it's
Speaker 2: doing it's doing things like right now. In this version
Speaker 2: of like mid Journey and these other AI tools that
Speaker 2: people are using, they can't get fingers right, they can't
Speaker 2: get hands right. And whenever you see text, try and
Speaker 2: read the text because he's usually some garbled bullshit and
Speaker 2: in this one his hands are looking all wrong. There's
Speaker 2: people with like logos that don't make sense. In another
Speaker 2: version where the guy is talking to like a like
Speaker 2: a door to door, like a door knocker for the campaign,
Speaker 2: one dude has three arms. That's right, I miss you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, And like you know,
Speaker 2: there is a grain of truth in terms of like
Speaker 2: where support is going for Biden in terms of black voters,
Speaker 2: because there's been a twenty one percent drop in support
Speaker 2: from black voters and that's mostly young men that are
Speaker 2: driving that trend, and that's exactly who the Trump campaign
Speaker 2: and conservatives want to go after, because like, black women
Speaker 2: are not moving in that direction at all. So there's
Speaker 2: this BBC or investigation or story about like these images
Speaker 2: and what the effect is on black voters, and they
Speaker 2: wanted to see how receptive people were to the imagery,
Speaker 2: and most people who aren't on AI were like, oh cool,
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that. I didn't realize like that
Speaker 2: he was embracing the community like that. And then when
Speaker 2: someone told him, hey, this is fake, it's AI, they're like, oh, see,
Speaker 2: that's the thing about social media, Like you can't really
Speaker 2: believe that. But they said, but if I just if
Speaker 2: you didn't tell me that, I really wouldn't have known.
Speaker 2: And this other voter they spoke with actually said, when
Speaker 2: I hear messaging from the Biden campaign about how Trump
Speaker 2: is a threat to democracy, that doesn't really like, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter because this person was already so disillusioned over
Speaker 2: the electoral process that that hardly moved the needle for them.
Speaker 2: And you know, you think about January sixth, that shit
Speaker 2: happened without the use of generative AI. They had that
Speaker 2: many people ready to fucking storm the Capitol without it,
Speaker 2: and now we're mixing foreign influence campaigns and AI bullshit
Speaker 2: can cause obviously some very very real problems in the
Speaker 2: next eight months. But yeah, it's uh, it's we're beginning
Speaker 2: to see it bubble up more and more.
Speaker 1: It's just wild that they had to revert to AI
Speaker 1: like that they couldn't find enough.
Speaker 2: Well, what's the same five black people that you always
Speaker 2: see at the rallies. There's the one guy who like
Speaker 2: he's got like the perm like in a ponytail kind
Speaker 2: of thing. There's always that dude who has the blacks
Speaker 2: for trial. Like I like, they're almost like characters that
Speaker 2: I recognize now. I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, there's there.
Speaker 2: He's there for another one.
Speaker 1: But I wonder how much of this is just him
Speaker 1: not wanting to be in a picture like with you know,
Speaker 1: cause like there's got to be. He's one of the
Speaker 1: most famous people on earth. Like you can find five
Speaker 1: people who will like be in a picture with him? Sure, Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: it's wild to me that they're having to use AI to.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it's generate this. I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's like that because it's not coming from
Speaker 2: the campaign, right, It's coming from supporters, shit posters who
Speaker 2: are now just like, oh yeah, I can get in
Speaker 2: the misinformation game myself and maybe affect presidential race because
Speaker 2: it all happens. Like the guy who posted it, this
Speaker 2: DJ he posted on his Facebook and it got a
Speaker 2: ton of engagement. And then when they asked him like, yo,
Speaker 2: what what are you doing, like you know it's fake,
Speaker 2: he was basically like, this's not my problem if they
Speaker 2: think it's real. He said, quote, I'm not claiming it's accurate.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, hey, look Donald Trump was at this
Speaker 2: party with all these African American voters. Look how much
Speaker 2: they love him. If anybody's voting one way or another
Speaker 2: because of one photo they see on a Facebook page,
Speaker 2: that's a problem with that person, not with the post itself.
Speaker 1: So by creating an image that shows a thing, I'm
Speaker 1: not claiming that that thing happened.
Speaker 2: No. But and if you believe it, that's your it's
Speaker 2: like your problem, man. Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: A no account We got no account ability. There's no
Speaker 3: no accountability to anybody.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, AI is scary, but a lot of people do
Speaker 3: vote just somewhat they scroll through social media.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because if you're not looking at an image
Speaker 2: like full sized, you you're gonna you'll probably miss the details.
Speaker 2: Or if you're not as online as some people who's
Speaker 2: kind of become savvier at looking at shit and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: this shit looks like AI, then yeah, a casual scroll
Speaker 2: on a fucking timeline or whatever Instagram will feed whatever you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you'll probably just be like, oh shit, Okay, I guess
Speaker 2: I guess maybe things are moving in that direction.
Speaker 1: Yeah when they Trump is cool. Yeah, you don't have
Speaker 1: to take another look at this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the sneakers are ass. Has anybody wanted I
Speaker 2: think Fat Joe bought the Trump sneaker that anymore?
Speaker 4: So he has no business being in the sneaker game
Speaker 4: or any game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like we we He was just like I'm
Speaker 2: a collector, you know, and you're like, dude, put that
Speaker 2: shit down. There's not even a shoe worth having, Like
Speaker 2: who gives the book, But.
Speaker 1: If you put them on and like you could suddenly
Speaker 1: dunk in them. But it was like a monkey's paw curse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Mike kind of situation, but you had to
Speaker 2: be wearing the most just unacceptable shoe to dump looking shoe.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling though, the shoes are so poorly
Speaker 2: made that you will have some kind of career ending injury.
Speaker 2: Even if it did make you play, like, they'll probably
Speaker 2: just bust apart and then you roll your ankle.
Speaker 1: Like the way Zion Williamson, Like this guy is one
Speaker 1: of the best athletes ever. He cut so hard that
Speaker 1: his shoes just exploded one time. Yeah, Like if I
Speaker 1: just like stopped the way that I stopped, the same.
Speaker 2: Thing would happen.
Speaker 1: Shoe was just like first shadow, five different pieces.
Speaker 4: Don't you think this is my last thing?
Speaker 3: But I'm visualizing January sixth, twenty twenty five, where everybody
Speaker 3: storming the castle is wearing those ugly shoes, and I'm
Speaker 3: like they've been working on their marketing and branding for
Speaker 3: the past four years.
Speaker 4: Don't sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, But then but also they kind of got
Speaker 2: superpowers too because of the shoes, Like they're junking like
Speaker 2: fucking super Mario, like we're like over the fucking fence.
Speaker 1: He's like, what, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come right back, and we're back, and let's talk about
Speaker 1: this German man, a sixty two year old man in
Speaker 1: Germany went on a fucking vax spree. This is something
Speaker 1: we've joked about since the vaccine first hit, the idea
Speaker 1: that like we're just trying to get as many of
Speaker 1: them as we could. Yeah, hopefully this is not one
Speaker 1: of our listeners who just like with no sense of humor,
Speaker 1: who took that at face value?
Speaker 2: True Zeit gang, I.
Speaker 1: Love loves the Zeite. He has received two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventeen shots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, started starting.
Speaker 1: Summer of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he went from June twenty twenty one to November
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. He said he was trying to
Speaker 2: get a shot every four days.
Speaker 4: Wow, what's not tracking him?
Speaker 2: They asked him, They're like, yo, what why did he
Speaker 2: Why did you do it? He said, for personal and
Speaker 2: private reasons. Like it wasn't even like you thought like
Speaker 2: maybe this guy was gonna be like, yo, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to be some fucked up batman villain origin story, but
Speaker 2: like on the right wing, and like the fucking vaccine
Speaker 2: made me like, oh, whoa zombie or whatever? No, and like,
Speaker 2: in fact, because of this story, this, like researchers at
Speaker 2: a university reached out and like he was like providing
Speaker 2: all of these like like samples and doing all this
Speaker 2: and helping them with analysis, and they're like, yeah, like
Speaker 2: I mean it really did nothing like good or bad.
Speaker 2: It's not like he had became super immune to COVID
Speaker 2: or he didn't have any adverse reactions. But like the
Speaker 2: guy did kept saying like he's like, but I never
Speaker 2: got COVID, And but the people are like, we can't
Speaker 2: say this way or that way that that's because you
Speaker 2: got vaccinated too hundred seventeen times. You might just be
Speaker 2: one of those.
Speaker 4: People like when you take too many vitamins.
Speaker 2: Right exactly, Yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Just like uncoordinated Walgreens.
Speaker 2: No, he was buying vials on like on his own.
Speaker 2: He was coping vials of the vaccine to like I
Speaker 2: guess have administered in private. But like, yeah, he did
Speaker 2: get Like it started out because he kind of drew
Speaker 2: the attention in like some kind of fraud case that
Speaker 2: I think was related to this, but then they didn't
Speaker 2: press charges and then they're like, I don't know, I guess,
Speaker 2: I guess do you, bro? But I think it's a
Speaker 2: good story to tell people who might be vaccine hesitating like, Yo,
Speaker 2: this dude got a two hundred and seventeen times Okay.
Speaker 1: Really in that way, he's doing the Lord's work. This
Speaker 1: is yeah, this is just viral marketing for the vaccine.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah. RFK Junior is in shambles right now
Speaker 2: reading the story.
Speaker 4: He's like, fuck, it's like two hundred vaccine doesn't happened.
Speaker 2: Oh just wait, He's like he will suddenly died. That
Speaker 2: will happen. The great Twitter trend that always happens when
Speaker 2: anybody has any kind of issue and then they like
Speaker 2: it was a bac to the vaccine, the vaccine, but yeah, no,
Speaker 2: that's what I got. David Bowie, right he died in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, Yeah exactly. Yeah, he was experimenting.
Speaker 4: Pre COVID vaccine, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just I do though, I'm really I wish
Speaker 2: we'd get to the bottom of what the the why
Speaker 2: is for this, because that's just it's wild, Like clearly
Speaker 2: something's up with this guy. But I really, like I
Speaker 2: wish he didn't just like keep his response so sort
Speaker 2: of short to being like personal private reasons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in your business, you know what I mean, between
Speaker 1: me and.
Speaker 4: And God and my and my doctor.
Speaker 3: I think if people were so extremely anti vacs, it
Speaker 3: only makes sense that there's someone extremely pro vaxed, right right,
Speaker 3: just go for.
Speaker 2: It, yeah, like they have to. And maybe the guy
Speaker 2: was like, I'm getting this shit. I'm gonna get a
Speaker 2: vaccine every four But also, like I remember the first
Speaker 2: time I got it, I was like I had to
Speaker 2: lay down for like like a half a day. I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I'm watching and like I'm not doing
Speaker 2: ship so may or maybe this guy is like just
Speaker 2: really into feeling a little bit down from having a
Speaker 2: like his jabs or whatever, or maybe he just wasn't
Speaker 2: feeling and he's like I'm trying to feel what everybody
Speaker 2: else is.
Speaker 1: He like got the jab and like immediately starts nodding
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: You're like, what are you good? Yeah? Yeah, I'm sick, bro, Like,
Speaker 2: oh what do you what do you mean? He's like,
Speaker 2: I'm vack sick, Like I gotta get right, I need
Speaker 2: another fucking jab.
Speaker 1: Okay, alright, that Pfizer you got that pisor yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's talk all store? Uh yeah, very lazily named.
Speaker 2: Bookstore.
Speaker 1: That the way that they pitched themselves. They're like an
Speaker 1: online bookstore. That offers fair compensation to writers and.
Speaker 2: That's they that's admirable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I would buy that. That's great.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: They are independent, author owned and also completely full of shit.
Speaker 2: No, we found this out.
Speaker 1: RuPaul is launching a Rainbow school bus that will distribute
Speaker 1: banned books to kids, and also partnering with Alstora in
Speaker 1: you know, selling their books, but the launch of Alstora
Speaker 1: has been riddled with controversy. Shoppers noticed that the site,
Speaker 1: which purports to uplift the voices of underrepresented groups including
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus people, women, and communities of color, features a
Speaker 1: bunch of books by white supremacists and anti LGBTQ plus
Speaker 1: authors like Kirk Cameron and libs of TikTok's Shia Raychik.
Speaker 2: Yeah good, that's interesting. Wow, what happened? How what's going on?
Speaker 2: There's like so many translations of mind komf on there too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't know there were this many additions, thought I thought.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they want to spread that message, I
Speaker 2: guess far and wide. And it's just wild. How like
Speaker 2: when they're pressed on it, they're like, oh oh oh,
Speaker 2: Like they didn't realize until people started pointing it out,
Speaker 2: and then like it seems it looked like certain titles
Speaker 2: began disappearing, and then they said, oh, we have like
Speaker 2: a flagging system now.
Speaker 1: That is community led. Oh great, great, it's on you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, with all these companies with social media. With Amazon,
Speaker 1: it's all about what we talked about with the Rod
Speaker 1: Economy episode. It's growth. They're just worried about getting as
Speaker 1: many users as users as they possibly can before they
Speaker 1: have any idea what to do with that number of users.
Speaker 1: And so they you know, if everything, if this is
Speaker 1: basically like a bookstore that is created and driven by
Speaker 1: the community, yeah, it's gonna be a fucking mess in
Speaker 1: the same way that like Facebook is a complete mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well they said that it's like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: when people flag a book, they're like, we want, we're
Speaker 2: not going to remove it, but quote the proceeds from
Speaker 2: flag titles to support the fight against book bands of
Speaker 2: diverse literature. That's where that's where it will go. And
Speaker 2: then like another when they asked again, there was like
Speaker 2: this sort of comment of like we're sort of like
Speaker 2: a library, you know, like where you need to be
Speaker 2: able to understand sort of ideologies of hatred to also educate.
Speaker 2: You're just like, Okay, wow, you're really doing this shit.
Speaker 2: Huh Like that's okay, well, that's that's a nice pr
Speaker 2: spin on it. But when you're launching this bookstore, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, RuPaul's already revealed themselves to be like a
Speaker 2: big capitalist without really giving a fuck about like what
Speaker 2: it means as long as like they're getting paid. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like you said, this is what happens when you're
Speaker 2: just looking at like getting that just scalability. Man, just
Speaker 2: got to scale that shit, got scale, and yeah you
Speaker 2: get a few mind comps in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you can't have you can't have an online
Speaker 1: bookstore without having fourteen editions of Mind comp Child's illustrated version,
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's really a mind boggling array
Speaker 1: of Mind's comp Yeah, but yeah, I mean, booksellers have
Speaker 1: pointed out that the reason why All Store has all
Speaker 1: these terrible books is because they're a drop shaping operation
