Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: These are some of our favorite segments from this week,
Speaker 1: all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So,
Speaker 1: without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Anyways, we
Speaker 1: are thrilled our third ye, one of the very faces
Speaker 1: on Mount Zeitmore, a hilarious and brilliant writer producer. You
Speaker 1: know him from the Josas Racist podcast.
Speaker 2: It's Andrew t rom.
Speaker 3: I give it to you with much trivia like hot
Speaker 3: take straight from iHeartMedia.
Speaker 2: That was seconds before we started recording. I was like,
Speaker 2: I think I could pull this off. That was nailed, flowless.
Speaker 1: I could sense the COVID in your voice.
Speaker 4: The grad still y'all, keep it, keep it safe, mask
Speaker 4: up COVID. This COVID is is as the realist. Yet
Speaker 4: I feel for me personally. Wow, did you go packs
Speaker 4: lovid for COVID?
Speaker 2: No? I probably should have.
Speaker 3: I I just was like, I'm fine, right, Uh, probably
Speaker 3: I don't know that version.
Speaker 1: No one in particular, Yeah, my dog mostly right, Hey man,
Speaker 1: who are you talking to?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 3: Mostly mostly my dog. I was telling these guys off. Mike,
Speaker 3: my last screen time check in clocked in it. Hey, Andrew,
Speaker 3: your screen time is a little bit up. You average
Speaker 3: sixteen point five hours a day last week.
Speaker 1: That's we're gonna need you to check into some sort
Speaker 1: of phab.
Speaker 3: Yeah, two full union shifts of being on YouTube per day?
Speaker 2: Right, what does that do to your soul?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: How do you feel? I feel?
Speaker 3: Well, we can talk about it because all of my
Speaker 3: over underrate history.
Speaker 2: Of and like so deep and obscure.
Speaker 3: I guess I will just say, broadly speaking, I'm an
Speaker 3: old man and I finally found like, I finally think
Speaker 3: I get YouTube for me.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that algorithm has finally been bent to your will.
Speaker 2: I yes, sort of. I'm need to get forty hours
Speaker 2: of non stop watching. I think it might have an
Speaker 2: idea of what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: Well, I think what happened was I just like hated
Speaker 3: the idea of YouTube stuff, and so when I like,
Speaker 3: don't like engage with it, YouTube would just keep like
Speaker 3: suggesting to me, Okay, well, the average person who likes
Speaker 3: quote unquote YouTube likes this stuff, which is all like
Speaker 3: right wing garbage.
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, I hate this, I hate this,
Speaker 2: I hate this.
Speaker 3: And then I finally watched enough of the Internet that, like,
Speaker 3: I found people who un ironically call themselves YouTubers and
Speaker 3: call the product that they make content and who I
Speaker 3: don't hate. And so I started watching some of those folks,
Speaker 3: and then it started suggesting me more of that, because
Speaker 3: I assume YouTube is internally incentivized.
Speaker 2: Who's a creator? We like to use the term creator exactly. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's a creator? Who like who Who's Who's like? Who's
Speaker 2: one of the creators? I caught your eyes that's gonna
Speaker 2: come up?
Speaker 3: And now I think the first one, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: what's his name is? This is a very very famous person.
Speaker 3: It's just new to me. But this guy, Jarvis Johnson, Okay,
Speaker 3: who it's close enough to the circles of like people
Speaker 3: who have been on Daily's Eye, guys have been on
Speaker 3: his show before. But he is just a you know,
Speaker 3: fucking YouTuber, talks the camera, hote knows everything about YouTube.
Speaker 3: But he's he's like mixed, and he is by virtue
Speaker 3: of not being white. I feel like, has at least
Speaker 3: like takes that I can understand. And I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is like much better better. This is what I
Speaker 3: assume people like who just watch like fucking mister beast
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: Without thinking about it, like get out of it anyway.
Speaker 3: I was just I was like okay, and then once
Speaker 3: I start on that train, the algorithm was like, okay,
Speaker 3: he finally has engaged with YouTube without it. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I've just been hit with a like a you know,
Speaker 3: and it's good.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad.
Speaker 3: I'm glad I figured out a piece of this like
Speaker 3: ecosystem that I can stand.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's how That's how sick I was.
Speaker 1: YouTube video That's how sick I was and YouTube videos.
Speaker 1: I feel like the second so I went to his
Speaker 1: Twitter and he's got like some something going on with
Speaker 1: Cody co Like yeah, you know, and it's just immediately
Speaker 1: like there's a beef with somebody who I'm not familiar with.
Speaker 2: It is all.
Speaker 3: Internal, It is all part of this like ecosystem that
Speaker 3: I don't know. It is interesting because it's like I
Speaker 3: don't know any of the people he's talking about except
Speaker 3: for like the most famous breakthron to the household fame
Speaker 3: ish people. Yeah, and I'm not gonna learn probably, but
Speaker 3: it is like I'm like, Okay, this guy at least
Speaker 3: has the right opinions on the basic social things, so
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, I can engage with this person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna suddenly turn into like, yeah, some
Speaker 2: weird genocide apology or something. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: We were in Boston stand with some friends last week
Speaker 1: and their kids are like from say eight up through
Speaker 1: like eighth grade, and they their mom was like, they
Speaker 1: live in LA They've probably seen like some famous people,
Speaker 1: do you guys want to ask them? But we were like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we saw Tom Cruise and they were like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so cool. Did you see mister Beast? And then
Speaker 1: like asked us if we'd see mister Beast like five
Speaker 1: more times. After we'd said no, They're like, but what
Speaker 1: about mister.
Speaker 2: Beat, like an actual famous person?
Speaker 1: So you haven't you you haven't seen a famous person?
Speaker 1: Interesting you see Elon Musk. What is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing about.
Speaker 2: Who you are?
Speaker 5: My Google search history result is Summer twenty twenty four
Speaker 5: nail polish colors, which I'm sure is at the top
Speaker 5: of y'all's search history too.
Speaker 2: Oh, I I already knew. I go into every season
Speaker 2: knowing what the color palette is going to be.
Speaker 6: But yeah, you're prepped.
Speaker 2: Wait, yeah, so what's the end? What's what are we?
Speaker 2: What's what's the summer? What's the summer for the for
Speaker 2: the fingernails and toenails?
Speaker 5: This year so well, the summer colors, I mean, bold
Speaker 5: red is always in, and a lot of honestly, it's
Speaker 5: really boring, a lot of like pale pinks and neutrals
Speaker 5: and then some greens here.
Speaker 2: I'll shook it.
Speaker 6: Where's my? Oh, I don't have my That's what I
Speaker 6: I went.
Speaker 7: With a soft green mint, like a slightly super.
Speaker 5: Shade than a mint. And what this says about me
Speaker 5: is that my new podcast is launching this week. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm talking to you right, and I've got you know.
Speaker 5: I'm excited, but I'm also anxious. And what I do
Speaker 5: when I'm both excited and anxious is I paint my nails.
Speaker 5: I find a new color and I paint my nails
Speaker 5: because it is the one thing. I'm sure you'll have
Speaker 5: things like this where it's like all I can pay
Speaker 5: attention to for like ten minutes is just painting nail it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: these nails. And it's just a it's just a mind
Speaker 5: kind of a mind release, a little, a little meditative
Speaker 5: break for a moment and I get a pop of
Speaker 5: color on my nails.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it puts you in a flow state.
Speaker 2: It sounds.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, don't have flow state things like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah I do. I mean recently I started
Speaker 2: like drawing more and coloring more, which again I think
Speaker 2: and it's probably similar to painting your nails because like
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so like staying in
Speaker 2: the lines is like very important. So like having an
Speaker 2: activity that's like stay stay within the lines. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure like with it's funny. I remember watching like my
Speaker 2: mom or like my grandmother paint her fingernails, and like
Speaker 2: when they mess up, I'm like, oh god, like I
Speaker 2: would be stressed out. You're gonna have to clean that up,
Speaker 2: like it's all over your cuticles and the like, it
Speaker 2: comes off easy, and I'm like, Okay, well I'm a
Speaker 2: child who doesn't know they have perfection. Yeah, ooh you
Speaker 2: fucked up? Yeah? Can you start breathing down my neck? Please?
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I have that. And driving. I also
Speaker 2: like driving that also a lot, because it you know,
Speaker 2: requires a bit of skill and focus.
Speaker 1: I like to like do laundry fold laundry, pick up,
Speaker 1: ship around the house after my kids, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: tidying up something, just a little tidying, Yeah, a little
Speaker 1: bit of tidying.
Speaker 2: My mom loves doing dishes. She hates cooking. She'll always
Speaker 2: be like if if I like cooking, She's like, just
Speaker 2: let me do the dish. She's like yeah she's and
Speaker 2: she's really good at cooking too, which is wild. She's like, no,
Speaker 2: it's the dishes. I like just like it. You know,
Speaker 2: like if she has people over and people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: let us help you, she's like, no, I want them, no,
Speaker 2: like truly, she's like, these are mine. You back up.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's always interesting what where people find that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's always good to know what what brings
Speaker 2: that out of you.
Speaker 1: I wish mine was like carving things out of wood
Speaker 1: or you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but clean.
Speaker 5: House, that's that's so helpful and productive, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine is not that I'll say that, like I
Speaker 2: have to like be like do I got to and
Speaker 2: I'll like I'll do it later, and then it piles
Speaker 2: up and then yeah, I'm in there for But actually
Speaker 2: takes a lot very quick to fold things. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: what what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7: Underrated I'm going to say, and that I'll often be
Speaker 7: listening to my bows on the Metro because I love
Speaker 7: the trains in Los Angeles, always telling people to take
Speaker 7: the trains. They're lovely. You know, certainly you have to
Speaker 7: live like on more on the routes, but it's so
Speaker 7: much more flaxing than being in traffic. If you've got
Speaker 7: to go downtown and you take a car, you're full.
Speaker 7: The train will get anywhere. You can have a nice
Speaker 7: like city experience walking around. You can read your book
Speaker 7: right in your notebook, do whatever you gotta do. It's
Speaker 7: not going to depend what time you're going. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: fun frequently.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's definitely like it's the one thing
Speaker 2: you hope for with the La Metro is like for
Speaker 2: it to like you said, like what about for people
Speaker 2: who don't live like directly near like a Metro station,
Speaker 2: but then a lot of time they have like a
Speaker 2: lot of parking or whatever. But yeah, I know that's
Speaker 2: like the one thing that makes it a little bit difficult.
Speaker 2: And also like the Nimbi stuff where people like I
Speaker 2: don't want the metro station to come through my part
Speaker 2: of the city.
Speaker 7: Of course, but you're telling you you do. And also
Speaker 7: if I can just go step further, I hope everyone
Speaker 7: else our Los Angeles listeners knows about the metro micro.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it is al the uber van.
Speaker 8: The uber van is worth a dollar. Yeah, oh come
Speaker 8: get you like your house exactly. It pulls up like
Speaker 8: where do you want to go? Yeah yeah, like as
Speaker 8: long as it's in this like small delivery radius, like
Speaker 8: we're we're good to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, wait what is it? It's a van that
Speaker 2: will just take you to the metrics like micro transit,
Speaker 2: but it's basically like a sprinter van that has a
Speaker 2: bunch of seats in it and they'll take you. Like
Speaker 2: you can just be like hey, I need to get
Speaker 2: over here and they're like yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: You could like reserve a ride and it'll text you
Speaker 7: when the guy's closed, and like a dude in a van,
Speaker 7: it's just like hey and he just like takes you.
Speaker 2: Shade he says micro on the bus. So it's not
Speaker 2: like you just some dude shows them like hey, right
Speaker 2: and you're like yeah, hey, uh train station.
Speaker 1: Like sure, Man, if I ever start leaving my house again,
Speaker 1: I might have to take advantage.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Aren't your kids into trains yet? They don't.
Speaker 2: They don't like like big vehicle type things like they
Speaker 2: have a train face.
Speaker 1: They do like trains, but we just don't have that
Speaker 1: many reasons to go downtown, like their school and like
Speaker 1: all those things. But I'm gonna I'm gonna start taking
Speaker 1: them on the on the l A Metro for sure with.
Speaker 7: Kids to the other train I love that I recommend
Speaker 7: is the surf Liner.
Speaker 2: If we've done the surf Liner for sure, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went down to Sandy, San Diego and San
Speaker 1: Diego back up again.
Speaker 2: It was a blast.
Speaker 1: What what something you think is overrated? Great under rosy
Speaker 1: by the way, Blake, that was like a serious and
Speaker 1: very good underrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now not get off.
Speaker 1: You give us a stupid overrated overrated your plants.
Speaker 9: Let my dog piss on your plants. Wow, it's yeah,
Speaker 9: that's my overrated all right, overrated and let my dog
Speaker 9: plants the health of your plants.
Speaker 2: Got it? Got it? Underrated?
Speaker 9: My dog's piss Yeah, all is good for your plan.
Speaker 9: I didn't think i'd have to spell this out for you,
Speaker 9: but overrated.
Speaker 2: Take you right outside the garage.
Speaker 1: That I'm recording from out to my parents front lawn
Speaker 1: and show you a sign that asks people to please
Speaker 1: keep their dogs off there alone.
Speaker 2: We are, we are that household. Give Blake that address
Speaker 2: so he can bring the dog through.
Speaker 9: I'm sure I've pissed that that that address.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody cut people from miles around to piss
Speaker 1: on my parents front line.
Speaker 9: Miles has fed ex me bottles of piss for me
Speaker 9: to hey that I'll feel it. Yeah, I all surge.
Speaker 2: And then everybody sprints down the street. He just opened
Speaker 2: the and piss like they know, dude, that's how it's
Speaker 2: like blood in the water the sharks. Yeah, way, so
Speaker 2: did you get it's I'm guessing something happen your dog.
Speaker 2: Was your dog pissing on grass, a tree, a rose bush?
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 9: I think that there's an now when there's space and
Speaker 9: there's other places for a dog to piss. I think
Speaker 9: that it is reasonable not to go out of your
Speaker 9: way to have a dog you're an eight on someone's plants.
Speaker 9: Like I get that, Like even in LA there's more space,
Speaker 9: like just grass patches for a dog to piss on,
Speaker 9: But like in New York and Philly, like in these
Speaker 9: more compacted cities. The only green is these people will
Speaker 9: just put these plants outside their homes. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 9: they're gonna get pissed on by something, so it might
Speaker 9: as well be my dog. And it is interesting. I'm
Speaker 9: not I'm not just saying this to a pease jack,
Speaker 9: which I feel like ninety nine percent of my time
Speaker 9: is devoted to these days, but it is if we.
Speaker 1: Probably edited this out. But when you got on, I
Speaker 1: heard Miles say he's.
Speaker 10: In another one of his mood, in another one of us.
Speaker 10: Carefully make them, help, make make them healthy. Just don't
Speaker 10: make fun of the candy burrito. Don't fucking make fun
Speaker 10: of the candy burrito, don't.
Speaker 2: Make why is It's a cool idea?
Speaker 11: Okay, it was just poorly executed, but the idea is there.
Speaker 11: I'm sure there are rough drafts of the Mona Lisa.
Speaker 9: Okay, yes, she had four eyes the first time, she
Speaker 9: was wearing glasses the first time. No, this cannot We
Speaker 9: can't make a famous four eyed lady. But yeah, no,
Speaker 9: I think I think dog owners avoided if you can.
Speaker 9: And also people who have plants outside, it's they're just
Speaker 9: gonna get pissed.
Speaker 2: On what do you expect? Are you sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They are too good for my dog's piss.
Speaker 2: You think you're too good for my dog's piss? Always
Speaker 2: pick up the ship, always like the ship like piss. Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: I get it, Like I know some the ureaic acid
Speaker 2: can fuck up alon if it's like constantly happening. And
Speaker 2: I get why some people are said, but like this
Speaker 2: ship is really the thing where you gotta fucking you know,
Speaker 2: they pick up the ship the piss whatever, probably shop
Speaker 2: for them. It's good for they like it. The plants
Speaker 2: like they actually like it. Miss. I'm pretty sure your
Speaker 2: plants fucking like it. Yeah, so why don't you go
Speaker 2: back inside? I'm doing. My dog's doing something nice for
Speaker 2: your plants. Hey, miss, are you listening? That's your plant?
Speaker 2: Enough pits? All right, take it up with the plant.
Speaker 2: The plant's fucking weird. I think I don't know your
Speaker 2: plants are free? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Does anybody sell like a yard sign that's like my
Speaker 1: my flowers are pissed pigs, like please come come at me.
Speaker 2: I wonder my flowers like it? Would that resonate Blake
Speaker 2: if if someone had those in Philly, Like, because that's
Speaker 2: like a thing we're just put out, like, dude, this
Speaker 2: plant fucking loves it. Let's let the golden showers fucking
Speaker 2: rain down like a.
Speaker 1: Cartoon drawing of a flower just you know, face up,
Speaker 1: just like kind of rubbing their face in a stream.
Speaker 2: It looks it looks like the sun's crying on it. No, no, oh,
Speaker 2: my son, my son. I love that sort of bit
Speaker 2: of like this plant fucking loves it. It's like, what
Speaker 2: are they talking about? Like this not this house. If
Speaker 2: we don't want to they want to act. The reverse
Speaker 2: psychology may actually be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just hear somebody on the porch going, oh god.
Speaker 2: I think that's a I think you're right.
Speaker 9: That could be great merch to sell one of those
Speaker 9: little science saying this business.
Speaker 2: Try it out, but using use a union print shop
Speaker 2: for it. Oh my god, that's make icon.
Speaker 1: Ask your Doug to make eye contact with me. Well,
Speaker 1: well it does it?
Speaker 2: Please? Thank you exactly. Please knock on my door before
Speaker 2: your dog. Thisiss is on my plant. I want to
Speaker 2: make eye contact to watch it. Even if I'm sleeping,
Speaker 2: I don't care. Wake me up, wake me up, ring
Speaker 2: the doorbell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that would actually, yeah, that would that
Speaker 1: would dissuade people. Probably all right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back, and we're back. And
Speaker 1: I just I thought this was notable that it feels,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a one off kind of but like
Speaker 1: we've been talking about how Trump has been having a
Speaker 1: difficult time dealing with the reality that Kamala Harris is
Speaker 1: now who is running against and it is no longer
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, And he had a post yesterday that just
Speaker 1: felt like desperation incarnate.
Speaker 2: So I just want to just want to.
Speaker 1: Read it real quick, because it seems it seems like
Speaker 1: he's trying to hype Joe Biden up into doing a
Speaker 1: January sixth, Like it feels like it feels like this
Speaker 1: is a post where the audience, the intended audience, is
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He says, what are the chances that crooked
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of the US,
Speaker 1: whose presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from him by Kama Blah
Speaker 1: Karakussein Obama, Crazy, Nancy Pelosi, shifty Adam Schiff, crying, Chuck Schumer,
Speaker 1: and others on the lunatic left crashes. Okay, so that
Speaker 1: was a big aside, but what are the chances that
Speaker 1: Biden crashes the Democratic National Convention and tries to take
Speaker 1: back the nomination capitalized for some reason. Beginning with challenging
Speaker 1: me to another debate, that's the one that gets me
Speaker 1: so much. He's like, let's do that again. When I
Speaker 1: was louder, when he just kept like kind of baiting off,
Speaker 1: like he didn't know where he was. Then he feels
Speaker 1: that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over
Speaker 1: the US presidency, a coup to the people in the
Speaker 1: world he most hates, and he wants.
Speaker 2: It back now.
Speaker 1: So that last part, yeah, it feels like he has
Speaker 1: fully shifted into a tense that is like straight up
Speaker 1: fiction writing, right, He's like now writing the character of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and being like that he made a historically
Speaker 1: tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, a coup
Speaker 1: to the people in the world he most hates, and
Speaker 1: he wants it back now.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. He went third person omniscient, third person.
Speaker 1: Omniscient like log line movie pitch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And in this fiction that he's created, by the
Speaker 7: way Kamala has won, he's not even giving himself like
Speaker 7: the benefit of the doubt that he might win this election.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's very much like I can't beat her,
Speaker 2: so here's what should happen. Yeah, right, Also, like so
Speaker 2: clear you are so scared of a debate when your
Speaker 2: first part of the fantasy is like, not only does
Speaker 2: he come back, but the first thing he says is
Speaker 2: I want Trump in a debate. He's like, exactly, and
Speaker 2: that would be I come through the wall, like I
Speaker 2: kick it down like the kool Aid man, like the
Speaker 2: kool Aid man. Three ks. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell if this is if he like
Speaker 1: hopes this is gonna happen, if he is and has
Speaker 1: just like left earth enough to think he can like
Speaker 1: will it, or if he believes this is what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, because that's what he would do if someone
Speaker 1: ever tried to get him to like back out of
Speaker 1: a position of power like that. A lot of people
Speaker 1: drew attention to the idea of like what Biden just did,
Speaker 1: Like you couldn't possibly imagine Trump doing that, And this
Speaker 1: is just like the best example of that where he
Speaker 1: is now like, so what Biden just did doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense because he like willingly gave a power.
Speaker 2: So I would let that happen.
Speaker 1: Let me just pitch something, do you guys my theory
Speaker 1: of what's going on.
Speaker 2: He's gonna do a gen six mm hmm. And he's
Speaker 2: big mad. He is big mad. I mean, I could
Speaker 2: you know if the Republicans were ever in a place
Speaker 2: that they could have ousted Trump. I could see Trump
Speaker 2: doing this, But the fact is he has like he
Speaker 2: fully control the party, so obviously nothing like that would
Speaker 2: have ever happened unless you know, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't even know how they could have ever done it,
Speaker 2: unless maybe the twenty fifth Amendment was maybe the closest
Speaker 2: time you could have seen Republicans be like, I think
Speaker 2: we could have the power to unseat this guy. But again,
Speaker 2: not no, no, no prac anything about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and not to mix lunatic metaphors, but he is
Speaker 7: the worm in the Republican brain.
Speaker 2: Yes right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: And also I don't know if it's the flex he
Speaker 7: thinks it is. I know he's trying to be racist
Speaker 7: and just misspelled Kamalo's name, But when you're the guy
Speaker 7: that looks not so lucid, I don't know if misspelling.
Speaker 1: The time yeah, blah, like feels like something that he
Speaker 1: might say accidentally because he does feel like he's just
Speaker 1: getting older by the day, like a yeah, like a president,
Speaker 1: which is great, great for it, Like I'm proud of
Speaker 1: him finally aging like a president, you know, because when
Speaker 1: he was in office he barely aged at all, with
Speaker 1: the first president to ever like just not let it get.
Speaker 2: To him at all, because.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but okay, he now does seem to be noticeably aging.
Speaker 2: The blah thing, it just doesn't hit at all. Like
Speaker 2: the only room where if someone calls something blah is
Speaker 2: like if like Anna Wintur was describing somebody, she's like
Speaker 2: quite blah to me.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh shit, I'm not offended, it's just blah.
Speaker 2: But the Republicans who have been saying vile ship like
Speaker 2: the most out there rhetoric to just call something bloods
Speaker 2: like no that these people have been sniffing cocaine and
Speaker 2: you're like, what if we have had like a diet
Speaker 2: coke to get our heart rate up? It's like, nah, bro,
Speaker 2: we're fully cooked off the amphetamines.
Speaker 1: The fact that he can't possibly imagine anyone willfully giving
Speaker 1: a power like just put another reason that if he
Speaker 1: wins this election, Like, we are so fucked because his
Speaker 1: brain is deteriorating before our eyes. And he is also
Speaker 1: never going to give up power, ever going to give
Speaker 1: up power. So it's I don't know, it just drives
Speaker 1: home another reason why seems like it would be bad
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump won the next election.
Speaker 7: For almost ten years now, I guess it's been driving
Speaker 7: me crazy. Are there this many people that are not
Speaker 7: bothered by having a president who doesn't know what a
Speaker 7: proper noun is? Like it drives how do you someone
Speaker 7: who has been the president of the United States doesn't
Speaker 7: know that you don't capitalize world?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right right, Yeah, it's it's vibe. It's all vibes
Speaker 2: with me. Yeah, he's like, oh ooh, I want the
Speaker 2: nomination is something I want, So I'm gonna make that
Speaker 2: fancy and call them capitol and nomination. Get the the nomination.
Speaker 2: But like to your point, Jack of like this guy
Speaker 2: is not like he's living in a fantasy world and
Speaker 2: has to win by any means necessary. I just do
Speaker 2: want to point out that while the vibes are up
Speaker 2: for Democrats Trump, remember, dude, this guy is fighting for
Speaker 2: his fucking life in this election. You know what I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not just sort of like all the fantasies from
Speaker 2: like the like the right wing, like existentially, for Trump,
Speaker 2: he has to be president or else, so many fucking
Speaker 2: legal doors potentially might open further that he doesn't want.
Speaker 2: And so I just want to remember, like when he
Speaker 2: was in Georgian and it's like I just want to
Speaker 2: shout out the freedom fighting pit bulls that we have
Speaker 2: on the Georgia election Board. Well, on Wednesday or maybe Tuesday,
Speaker 2: the Georgia State Election Board, they pushed through new rules
Speaker 2: that basically make it like gives the authority of county
Speaker 2: officials to refuse to certify election results. The thing that
Speaker 2: we're like we've been talking about a lot this week
Speaker 2: is like that's gonna be one of their big strategies
Speaker 2: this time is just to hold up the certification of
Speaker 2: these elections. So this like gives them new powers where
Speaker 2: they can like ask for more materials, like they can
Speaker 2: there's like more weight to their decisions like if they
Speaker 2: want to sign off on a vote count or of
Speaker 2: their ability to refuse. So these like these things are
Speaker 2: happening like in many states. So you know, the it's
Speaker 2: it's gonna the fight will be there there's gonna be right.
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think there's any question that there's go.
Speaker 7: We are in I think the beginning of bactory of
Speaker 7: a Greek tragedy. It's just like how many is it
Speaker 7: just gonna be his wings that melt? Or is the
Speaker 7: entire empire about to burn down? I mean, you're right,
Speaker 7: this will go to whatever happens in this election. He
Speaker 7: won't quit. Then it's gonna go until there's absolute decimation everywhere,
Speaker 7: and it's just a matter of who's who gets burned
Speaker 7: by that decimation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we I mean I am old enough to
Speaker 1: remember the two thousand election when there was some question
Speaker 1: about Florida votes and there was a recount, and it
Speaker 1: basically came down to like they were like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna like they stormed a vote counting center, like
Speaker 1: a bunch of people in like Brooks Brothers.
Speaker 2: It was called the Brooks Brothers Riot.
Speaker 1: Roger Stone like helped organize it, and that was one
Speaker 1: of the things that got them to stop the recount.
Speaker 1: They were like, stop the count It worked. They stopped
Speaker 1: the recount and the Supreme Court gave it to Bush
Speaker 1: at that point, and you know, a later recount said
Speaker 1: that Bush had the votes, but like it has happened
Speaker 1: before that it was like arbitrary and just like because
Speaker 1: they had the Supreme Court justices they needed, they were
Speaker 1: able to wing the election. So it's not unprecedent like
Speaker 1: we could see the election overturned or you know, the
Speaker 1: election given to him because they have the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justices they need.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Anyway, so just terrifying truth is just constantly being said
Speaker 7: to us visa vi these kind of posts where he's
Speaker 7: giving like sour patch kid names, yeah, the Democratic Party,
Speaker 7: and so it's like and like I think there's this
Speaker 7: dissonance that we all have sort of of like how
Speaker 7: absurd it is versus like the apps that stark truth
Speaker 7: that you're just talking about. Yea hard with those two
Speaker 7: things at the same time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're like the guy who's just called Kama blah.
Speaker 2: It's like has an army of sycophants and people that
Speaker 2: are like just off election conspiracies, ready to bring down
Speaker 2: the electoral process. Oh he does, okay, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you mean garbage pale kids that? Because that's so funny.
Speaker 2: I bet he is in ones by garbage pail kids.
Speaker 2: He really does. Like that is the.
Speaker 1: Format of all his nicknames, like snotty Scottie from you know, right,
Speaker 1: and then there's stinky Steve. Yeah, but how are they
Speaker 1: dealing on the vibes front Miles, The vibes are fantastic
Speaker 1: if you hate the Republicans, I would say so.
Speaker 2: Like again, there's just a lot of a lot of
Speaker 2: swatt in that things, a lot of grasping at straws
Speaker 2: vapors to try and get something that sticks. Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know about Tim Walls. He is
Speaker 2: so radical it's it's it's wild. People don't see this.
Speaker 2: He's basically the Bernie Sanders of Congress. That's what he said.
Speaker 2: He's I was like, the Bernie Sanders is he is
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders not in Congress. This Kevin McCarthy know the
Speaker 2: difference between the House of Representatives and this never mind?
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, you were a speaker, maybe meant of the
Speaker 2: House either way. That's that went, and he was like,
Speaker 2: all right, Kevin McCarthy, thanks for that. Next Trump is
Speaker 2: now like he called into Fox and Friends a little
Speaker 2: less focused on her race and just now just saying
Speaker 2: things like how she doesn't want to answer questions. This
Speaker 2: is him calling in again being like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I hear she's real bad. No, I mean pretty close.
Speaker 2: He's like, what, I can't do race stuff. Okay, I
Speaker 2: hear she's stinky.
Speaker 12: The media outside of your people, of course, but the
Speaker 12: media is is so they're trying to build her up
Speaker 12: to the next Margaret Thatcher liberal version, and I don't
Speaker 12: believe it's gonna happen. I hear she's hasn't taken one interview.
Speaker 12: She would never do an interview like this that that
Speaker 12: I can get with any network. She doesn't do interviews
Speaker 12: because she can't answer questions. I don't know how she debates.
Speaker 12: He hears she's sort of a nasty person, but not
Speaker 12: a good good debater. But we'll see because we'll be
Speaker 12: debating her, I guess in the pretty near future. It's
Speaker 12: going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her.
Speaker 12: I'd like to see it on Fox, by the way,
Speaker 12: I would like to see it. My preference would be Fox.
Speaker 12: But we have to debate.
Speaker 2: Do you have an announcement? Mister like, do you have
Speaker 2: an annasi? He's like, no, no, But it will be
Speaker 2: happening in about a couple of weeks, you know, doing
Speaker 2: the same drump thing. So I've heard she's sort of
Speaker 2: a nasty person, right, was that scathing line of attack
Speaker 2: just sort of like just sort of a nasty.
Speaker 7: Person, like he's sort of nasty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a full on nasty, but sort of then
Speaker 2: like so like acting like there's no media available of
Speaker 2: her that he just hears that she's a nasty person,
Speaker 2: like he's never seen her or met her before.
Speaker 7: They're like all of the internet hasn't just been her,
Speaker 7: like with Zinger, Like yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear she's brat. So there's that also, which
Speaker 2: is bad. I think that's the thing. And I think,
Speaker 2: uh Chappelle rohane, I believe as that artist said something
Speaker 2: about Tim Walls being daddy vibes or so. I don't
Speaker 2: know anyway, but on Trump's like campaign account at Trump
Speaker 2: war Room, they're like just posting like screencat like just
Speaker 2: video of her greeting a crowd at like the first
Speaker 2: rally that happened with her and Tim Walls or just
Speaker 2: like it's her at the podium. It says kamala like
Speaker 2: parent parentheses cringe. Good evening, hah, good evening, good evening,
Speaker 2: ha ha, good evening everyone, good evening, and there.
Speaker 1: And that was her whole speech and that's not taken
Speaker 1: out of context at all. And then she says, good night. Right,
Speaker 1: they're just they're just.
Speaker 2: They're just showing someone I don't again because I know
Speaker 2: people are not as enthusiastic at the Trump rallies anymore.
Speaker 2: Where you have to you have to contend with you
Speaker 2: has been like ah, they're like, all right, good evening.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, wow, good evening. Hey everyone a raucous crowd.
Speaker 2: They're like, what is this is cringe? Dude, She's all like,
Speaker 2: good evening. A bunch of times, is she all right? Okay?
Speaker 2: And while Tim or while Kamala and Tim Walls were
Speaker 2: talking to like twelve thousand people at that same time,
Speaker 2: JD Vance was also in Philadelphia, but like at another
Speaker 2: venue in the city with only two hundred people that
Speaker 2: showed up, and they.
Speaker 1: Knew it was going to be a small thing, right,
Speaker 1: they booked it out.
Speaker 2: To make of course, yeah it could. It could hold
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred people. Oh so it could only hold about
Speaker 2: a tenth of what the other one did. And you
Speaker 2: got two hundred to show And then he ended up
Speaker 2: even self owning because the stage was so poorly set up,
Speaker 2: it looked like he was stumping for Kamala Harris like wild,
Speaker 2: he's standing, it looks like it's he's just got a
Speaker 2: big bandard that says Kamala behind him, and it was
Speaker 2: supposed to say Kamala chaos. But as AATSI the union
Speaker 2: pointed out, they said, here's why you should hire union
Speaker 2: stage hands and stage design, and then in parentheses they
Speaker 2: did not, and you get They're like, shit, man, it
Speaker 2: looks like I'm opening up for Kamala Harris mat.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: It's also veep coded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is crazy.
Speaker 1: How Yeah, veep is the only realistic depiction of politics.
Speaker 2: What ever? Yeah? Yeah yeah. The other thing though, too,
Speaker 2: is like people like Charlie Kirk have become so desperado
Speaker 2: with it that they like are He's now like instructing
Speaker 2: his listeners to just be like, don't don't don't support
Speaker 2: your kids if they're going to vote for this ticket.
Speaker 2: This is Charlie Kirk totally unbothered by the Harris Walls ticket.
Speaker 13: Let me be very clear, guys, if you do not
Speaker 13: get one hundred percent turnout from your own house, you're
Speaker 13: doing it wrong. If you are a parent that has
Speaker 13: eighteen or nineteen year old kids, you got to get
Speaker 13: them out to vote. And by the way, if you
Speaker 13: are paying your eighteen, nineteen or twenty year old kids
Speaker 13: tuition and they go vote for Kamala Harris, you should
Speaker 13: tell them you guys could pay for your own college.
Speaker 13: You're gonna go vote for Kamala Harris. And our house
Speaker 13: here is working our tail off and we're going in
Speaker 13: to debt to help you go through college. You guys
Speaker 13: can pay for your own college. Husbands, make sure your
Speaker 13: wives are registered. Wives tend to be more organized around
Speaker 13: the house. Oh, make sure your husband's are registered. For
Speaker 13: all of the MAGA moms out there, make sure that
Speaker 13: everybody just.
Speaker 2: Make a list.
Speaker 14: Okay, Susie, Jeff, Susie Jeff, Joseph, Mary, Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
Speaker 14: John everyone in your family.
Speaker 2: Make sure you're registered to vote. But yeah, now it's
Speaker 2: like to the phase of like you need to threaten
Speaker 2: your family now, like this is this is what, this
Speaker 2: is how we'll beat them.
Speaker 1: I guess that's yeah. And if they don't go to school,
Speaker 1: no candy for that. You you offered to buy them
Speaker 1: candy if they will go vote for Trump and if not,
Speaker 1: no candy for a year.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and be and hey and be be firm
Speaker 2: on that, yes, because the future of our country's at
Speaker 2: steak here. Yeah, thank you, producer, Victor. Take Away the Xbox.
Speaker 1: Is bribery, Like, you're not supposed to be able to
Speaker 1: bribe people to uh.
Speaker 7: I think bribery and blackmail are probably both not acceptable
Speaker 7: ways to coerce someone into voting. Right, they're saying, this
Speaker 7: is the same people who like won't give it people
Speaker 7: any kind of a break on their student loans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. That's the really interesting thing though, too,
Speaker 2: is like conservatives really don't know how to spin this
Speaker 2: progressive thing. Because I was I've been watching Fox like
Speaker 2: the last two days just because I like, I'm so
Speaker 2: you know, like it's part of part of the gig,
Speaker 2: but also like to see how they're even messaging this.
Speaker 2: And one of the things I heard the most was
Speaker 2: this is the most extreme ticket. This is the most
Speaker 2: radical ticket that we've ever seen. Maybe comparatively, sure, but
Speaker 2: they're like, Walls is so radically progressive, guys, don't be fooled.
Speaker 2: He's basically like Gavin Newsome, but just with a little more,
Speaker 2: folksyed this is they want to bring in all this
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah, and like they do stuff
Speaker 2: to be like like, he wants to make sure that
Speaker 2: your tax dollars go straight to kids so they can
Speaker 2: get a free meal. Yeah, and you're like, yeah, for freeze,
Speaker 2: okay lunch. Another one was like Kamala Harris is sending
Speaker 2: money to the top one percent when she says she
Speaker 2: wants to increase spending to help people. Guess who that's helping?
Speaker 2: The extremely wealthy. That's where the money goes when the
Speaker 2: government spends money. And you're like, wait, sorry, are you
Speaker 2: against blinding the pockets of the wealthiest one percent of
Speaker 2: this country because your thing fiscal policy is based on that.
Speaker 2: So again, they can't quite they don't know how to
Speaker 2: even spin any of this, but by just saying things
Speaker 2: but like with an outraged tone, they're like, yeah, he
Speaker 2: wants women to make their own decisions about their healthcare.
Speaker 7: He thinks all people are people.
Speaker 2: This is this, This is wild stuff, folks. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I saw them coming for him for the for the
Speaker 7: pudding free tampons in school.
Speaker 2: Tampon, Tim, tampon, Tim. Oh, you're talking about tampon.
Speaker 7: Tim garbage pail kidn't.
Speaker 2: Is a great garbage p that's a garbage pail kid
Speaker 2: card t shirt, tampon, Tim got tampon's poking out of
Speaker 2: his ears and nose.
Speaker 7: Yeah, even our Republican women use tampons, you dip ship.
Speaker 7: You don't think Republican woman's been in a situation where
Speaker 7: they needed a tampon.
Speaker 11: I don't want to hear about it, Okay, And I don't,
Speaker 11: I surely don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want my wife.
Speaker 1: Goes to a tent on our compound with the other
Speaker 1: women to you know, she emerges five days later.
Speaker 2: That's right, and that's how we have But yeah, he
Speaker 2: truly is just that they are they're they're grasping as
Speaker 2: if the other thing that they've been saying a lot
Speaker 2: was that Shapiro, Josh Shapiro was snubbed because the Democrats
Speaker 2: hate Jewish people, right, and that's all like, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry again. You have a guy who's humping mind
Speaker 2: coom by his bedside table as your fucking nominee, the
Speaker 2: person who when they say Jews will not replace us.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, those dudes are chill. Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: bevy of the fucking all the neo Nazis he haangs
Speaker 2: out with, and you're gonna start giving lectures on that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think again, Shapiro was snubbed because he
Speaker 2: was vulnerable, Like he had a lot of controversies that
Speaker 2: started brewing and popping up over the weekend, and like
Speaker 2: people were like, ooh, and one that I have not
Speaker 2: really I've recently seen get talked about more was just
Speaker 2: like really weird murder case that happened that like while
Speaker 2: he was Attorney General that was clearly a homicide but
Speaker 2: for some reason was ruled a suicide, and her family
Speaker 2: was like suing to like get the fucking state to
Speaker 2: like reopen this case and like have it actually be
Speaker 2: ruled a homicide, and like it's super strange. A lot
Speaker 2: of weird stuff, Like there was like unverified like sort
Speaker 2: of allegations that Josh Shapiro knew this deceased woman's fiance
Speaker 2: who some suspect was the actual person who may have
Speaker 2: killed her, and like and he was just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a suicide, but like this person had like ten
Speaker 2: stab wounds to the back of their neck and head
Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, this is a yeah, it was
Speaker 2: like it's yeah, there's just all kinds of just stuff
Speaker 2: that like again it he would have been opened up
Speaker 2: to this summer's most scathing insult, which is a Shapiro
Speaker 2: got a weird case? Why is he around man that
Speaker 2: would have They're like, yeah, we don't want that. Let's
Speaker 2: pick like Walls, who is just like looks like this
Speaker 2: normal guy, which is why I think they're having so
Speaker 2: much trouble because he doesn't have the same like creature
Speaker 2: of DC politics energy that most of these politicians you
Speaker 2: see who end up like on a presidential ticket.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, you can't have a candidate who would
Speaker 7: have a staircase made about him, yeah yeah, documenting someone
Speaker 7: al theory about someone on your ticket, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or just being like what how how could they
Speaker 2: look at that? Like what's going on? The as I
Speaker 2: I had the details of it, there's like so much
Speaker 2: weird stuff in this family of this woman who passed away,
Speaker 2: like have been relentless on trying to get justice for her.
Speaker 2: And it's actually because Krasner, the guy who became the
Speaker 2: Philadelphia DA, was one of their lawyers, and when he
Speaker 2: became DA, he's like I actually can't take the case
Speaker 2: because I've I've already have a connection to it. So
Speaker 2: they sent it to Shapiro's office. But then he was like, no,
Speaker 2: it looks like a nothing to see.
Speaker 1: Here, and here it looks open and shut.
Speaker 15: Yeah, very wild stuff. All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 15: break and we'll be right back. And we're back and
Speaker 15: the other VP pick on the other side. Jd Vance
Speaker 15: has gotten less enthusiasm online than I think they were
Speaker 15: hoping for. Definitely less than walls where I'm looking before
Speaker 15: are you looking? So his twenty twenty one comment about
Speaker 15: childless cat ladies like Kamala Harris, AOC and Pete Boudhajeedge
Speaker 15: has kind of become a rallying cry for Democrats.
Speaker 1: So he's he's like, just feels like he's constantly in
Speaker 1: damage control.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He tried to go on Megan Kelly's show last week
Speaker 1: or her podcast, I should say, and claimed that his
Speaker 1: casual misogyny was only directed at Democrats, not not any
Speaker 1: other cat let just those three they're bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're sociopaths, not our cat not our beloved
Speaker 2: cat ladies. Yeah, not you guys.
Speaker 1: He just has the energy of someone who's been given
Speaker 1: just endless benefits of the doubt his entire liffe and
Speaker 1: he's just like, yeah, no, I said that thing about
Speaker 1: cat ladies, but not you, babe. I was like talking
Speaker 1: about other cat ladies who don't like have kids, but
Speaker 1: not you, even though that describes you, and like, up
Speaker 1: to this point in his life, it's just like worked
Speaker 1: out for him. Yeah, so you can just kind of
Speaker 1: ride with it, but it feels like he's kind of
Speaker 1: pissed off a lot a lot of people. Reportedly, forty
Speaker 1: seven percent of adults over fifty without kids say that
Speaker 1: they're unlikely to have them, and sixty four percent of
Speaker 1: young women who don't have kids say that they simply
Speaker 1: don't want them. And this is just another example where
Speaker 1: the GOP are clearly the hot dog meme guy just
Speaker 1: being like somebody crashed through that window in a hot
Speaker 1: dog truck because Republicans have been slashing federal funds for
Speaker 1: childcare and education and then complaining about people who choose
Speaker 1: not to have kids.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also we have to mention the maternal health
Speaker 5: prenatal health impacts of ro v Wade being overturned like
Speaker 5: all of their policies. I mean, women are scared to
Speaker 5: even even if they might want kids, they are probably
Speaker 5: scared to even try because if there's a pregnancy complication,
Speaker 5: like you might not be able to get help right now.
Speaker 2: Like I was just like hearing from like in Texas
Speaker 2: too that because of the laws there, like a lot
Speaker 2: of OB's are not practicing in the state, and that
Speaker 2: is leaving a lot of like like people who are
Speaker 2: like like thinking of pregnancy. Like, dude, there's like an
Speaker 2: ob I can't see for like another six months because
Speaker 2: there's like they're only one in for miles around because
Speaker 2: so many people are afraid of what the laws are
Speaker 2: going to do if anything happens under their care. That now, yeah,
Speaker 2: like to your point, it's like prenatal care is like
Speaker 2: coming out of premium in certain states because of just
Speaker 2: like the lack of access to even doctors who are like,
Speaker 2: I'm the risk is just too fucking high for me
Speaker 2: to even practice fucking edison, which is obscene. But yeah, again,
Speaker 2: please tell us about how this is the party that
Speaker 2: you want to you know, help families, and it's not
Speaker 2: about just going backwards in time to control people's bodies.
Speaker 2: It's like that that surely can't be it surely right.
Speaker 2: And just to like say the quote up top, this
Speaker 2: is this is what he said. He said, we're effectively
Speaker 2: running this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs,
Speaker 2: by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable
Speaker 2: at their own lives and the choices that they've made,
Speaker 2: and so they want to make the rest of the
Speaker 2: country miserable too.
Speaker 6: Who are the childless cat ladies in power?
Speaker 1: He's claiming Kamala Harris because she's a step mom, is
Speaker 1: a childless cat lady.
Speaker 2: Right, and that kids don't count, right, kids don't fucking count?
Speaker 6: Yeah, does she own a cat?
Speaker 2: Maybe irrelevant because it's like again it's like all this
Speaker 2: like perception. It's like I don't know, dude, I don't
Speaker 2: even know she's got I've never seen her with a baby.
Speaker 2: One of these like bad people Pete buddhaj Edge because
Speaker 2: he's gay, but he has each they have a child,
Speaker 2: So I don't know where that goes. But again, I
Speaker 2: think it's just merely just to be like lumping people
Speaker 2: together to be like, you know, like gay liberals or
Speaker 2: AOC types of people who think they can, you know,
Speaker 2: go to Harvard and then talk bad about me. There,
Speaker 2: they're the bad ones. They are the ones that we
Speaker 2: really just look at. But I think, like, statistically, it
Speaker 2: is an odd comment to make because a lot of
Speaker 2: people are like, let's crunch the numbers real quick on
Speaker 2: the cat lady thing, like does this does this have
Speaker 2: an effect on electability, like in a measurable way. So
Speaker 2: it's like in Arizona, where Trump only lost by ten
Speaker 2: thousand votes in twenty twenty, reportedly two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: six thousand, seven hundred of the state's voters have cats,
Speaker 2: and at least ten thousand of them are women. So
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do now? Like in Pittsburgh, this
Speaker 2: second most populous city in Pennsylvania, nearly nine percent of
Speaker 2: women have cats. And yeah, like then there's like, well,
Speaker 2: I think we talked about this when he first said it,
Speaker 2: like the swifty thing, because everyone's like, our godhead is
Speaker 2: a cat loving person without children, we.
Speaker 1: Have actual she must hate America. Yeah, she doesn't have
Speaker 1: any reason to want the future to continue, want America
Speaker 1: to continue into the future.
Speaker 2: Yeah a kid, Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: what do you think just generally, do you think cat
Speaker 2: people or dog people are more politically engaged if you
Speaker 2: had to, if we had to make a generalization. I'm
Speaker 2: just trying to think because I like, I don't want
Speaker 2: to be like, I don't know. I feel like cat
Speaker 2: owners might be pretty savvy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, as as a childless dog lady. I and this
Speaker 5: is no reflection on myself and my own political engagement,
Speaker 5: of course, but I think cat I think cat ladies.
Speaker 2: I think cat yeah, cat people. Yeah, the cat people
Speaker 2: would be like, hold on, man, Like I'm I pay
Speaker 2: attention to things. I like it.
Speaker 5: And they're like, I have this pet because I can
Speaker 5: leave it for extended period, can pop on its own,
Speaker 5: like I can just leave a big old dish of
Speaker 5: food out.
Speaker 6: It'll portion itself out. Like you know, they they're thinking ahead.
Speaker 1: They're not using that freedom to just go out and
Speaker 1: like vote constantly and get out the vote and knock
Speaker 1: on doors.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was funny to vote, But I've gotta
Speaker 5: have to out my dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that might be the new thing. They started saying,
Speaker 2: like dog people are the real Americans, and like pitting
Speaker 2: cat and dogs, Like what if you have both both?
Speaker 2: No such thing. There's no such thing. It's in either
Speaker 2: or situation in America.
Speaker 1: One Taylor Swift fan chillingly claimed that JD. Vance has
Speaker 1: quote secured his own demise, which.
Speaker 2: I love. Yeah, talking like more terrifying than like an offendage,
Speaker 2: you know, Taylor Swift or you know, just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're organized, they get organized, they get organized, and they're vocal.
Speaker 2: But then like there's also this thing too where obvious
Speaker 2: this had a ton of fallout because people were like
Speaker 2: what the fuck, Like this just again shows how regressive
Speaker 2: and like one dimensional like Republicans thinking are just like
Speaker 2: on any person that lives in this country. That his
Speaker 2: wife Usha had to go do like a like a
Speaker 2: very controlled interview on Fox because obviously, like that's what
Speaker 2: that's there for. It's like, let's pretend this is spontaneous,
Speaker 2: but merely this is a platform for you to rebut
Speaker 2: something terrible that your husband said. This is her talking
Speaker 2: about like what this is what? Lets let me just
Speaker 2: explain JD really quick. And I don't know if this
Speaker 2: makes much more sense, but again, this is Usha Vance
Speaker 2: talking to Ainsley Earhart on Fox about what the cat
Speaker 2: lady comment actually meant.
Speaker 16: There are a few comments that are out there that
Speaker 16: I have to ask you about in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 16: JD said, we are effectively run by a bunch of
Speaker 16: childless cat ladies taking aim at government leaders who don't
Speaker 16: have children.
Speaker 17: What was your reaction, Well, I mean I took a
Speaker 17: moment to look and actually see what he had said
Speaker 17: and try to understand what the context was and all that,
Speaker 17: which is something that I really wish people would do
Speaker 17: a little bit more often.
Speaker 16: And the reality is he.
Speaker 17: Made equipment service of making a point that he wanted
Speaker 17: to make that was substantive and it had actual meaning.
Speaker 2: This is such a like lawyer preamble that like my
Speaker 2: hairs are standing, k I get it, Yale edged like
Speaker 2: you were such a Yale educated lawyer that you first
Speaker 2: start up, Like it's really important that like we're able
Speaker 2: to like look at the context of like, okay, what
Speaker 2: the fuck. First of all, everybody listening to this should
Speaker 2: be ashamed of themselves just off off job, Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: go on, go on, counsel.
Speaker 17: And I just wish sometimes that people would talk about
Speaker 17: those things and that we would spend a lot less
Speaker 17: time just sort of going through this three word forrame
Speaker 17: or that three word phrase, because what he was really
Speaker 17: saying is that it can be really hard to be
Speaker 17: a parent in this country, and sometimes our policies are
Speaker 17: designed in a way that make it even harder. Oh
Speaker 17: and we should be asking ourselves.
Speaker 7: Why is that true?
Speaker 17: What is it about our leadership and the way that
Speaker 17: they think about the world that makes it so hard
Speaker 17: sometimes for parents. And that's the conversation that I really
Speaker 17: think that we should have. And I understand why he
Speaker 17: was saying that.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, first of all, motherfuck.
Speaker 1: He was saying that he was like trying to big
Speaker 1: up the welfare state, like he was trying to get
Speaker 1: people like parents more help. That was what he was like,
Speaker 1: we should give people more paid leave.
Speaker 2: That's just talking about child tax credits, expanding child tax credits.
Speaker 1: That I did not see that at all. We need
Speaker 1: her to like read, do more readings. That was like
Speaker 1: a psychic reading level.
Speaker 2: Like stretch.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Actually, so here's if you look at the first letter
Speaker 2: in each of the words and then you create a
Speaker 2: word scramble out of those, right, then yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 1: That couldn't have been further from the general vibe of
Speaker 1: what he was saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm also unclear how a the childless
Speaker 5: cat ladies but also I'll even toss in the corporate oligarchs,
Speaker 5: like how's that making your day to day life as
Speaker 5: a dad really hard? Because I'm also gonna guess jd
Speaker 5: Vance is doing minimal childcare.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's. Oh did you hear that quote
Speaker 2: about shut the hell up about Pokemon? No, he says, dude, yes,
Speaker 2: hold on. He was on the fucking bro podcast, the
Speaker 2: Full Send podcast, where Tucker Carlson was talking about his
Speaker 2: love of fucking zin pouches. Oh yeah, oh this shit
Speaker 2: is wild, because again jd Vance fucking sucks. So this
Speaker 2: is him like surrounded by like that like weird fucking
Speaker 2: Seltzer like happy be Dad or whatever the fuck it's called,
Speaker 2: like happy Dad Seltzers, and he's talking about how he
Speaker 2: missed like the call from Trump that he was going
Speaker 2: to be the VP because his kid. Just this is
Speaker 2: this is this is how he tries to relate to
Speaker 2: some like childless dudes.
Speaker 18: So hey, I'm like, oh no, So I call Trump
Speaker 18: and I'm like, hey, sir, what's going on. He's like, Jad,
Speaker 18: you missed a very important phone call and now I'm
Speaker 18: gonna have to pick somebody else. And I'm you know,
Speaker 18: I like tense up and almost have.
Speaker 2: A heart attack.
Speaker 18: And the crazy thing about it is my son, who's seven,
Speaker 18: is in the hotel room with me, and he's really
Speaker 18: into Pokemon cards right now. He's going through a Pokemon phase.
Speaker 18: Are you guys into Pokemon.
Speaker 2: Back in the day. Yeah, that's a big phase right now,
Speaker 2: I think in general.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, So, I mean he's really into it. So
Speaker 18: he's trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I'm
Speaker 18: on the phone with Donald Trump, and I'm like, son,
Speaker 18: shut the hell up for thirty seconds about Pikachu is
Speaker 18: the most important phone call in my life. Please just
Speaker 18: let me take this phone call.
Speaker 6: So wow, such a cool guy. I mean, he's he's
Speaker 6: so funny. All those guys are so many.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like his way to like relate to is like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I can be a dismissive absent father too.
Speaker 1: You can get my kids. Man.
Speaker 2: Don't you know he doesn't say hell?
Speaker 6: You know, he said shut the fuck up?
Speaker 2: Right? Hey, why don't you shut the fuck up about Pikachu?
Speaker 1: Do you know how important I am?
Speaker 2: Do you know how important I am? Go on, mister president. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I got to shut the fuck up about right? You also, sorry, man,
Speaker 2: he's talking about all the evolutions.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like so you don't think he's an involved
Speaker 1: dad that guy?
Speaker 2: Can you shut that?
Speaker 1: But he's just again he would you get this little
Speaker 1: fucker out of here talking about Pokemon or whatever?
Speaker 2: Or you think he does a thing where he's like, hey,
Speaker 2: your son's talking about Pokemon again and bothering dad. You
Speaker 2: are one thousand, you know what I mean? That old
Speaker 2: that old move that I've heard before, Like you're you
Speaker 2: sound like your mother? Yeah, yeah, talking about that, or
Speaker 2: expanded child tax care credit, child care credits, or you
Speaker 2: know how difficult it is for people to be like
Speaker 2: it's so funny. Again, all of these things are so
Speaker 2: much tied to quality of life, and like the social
Speaker 2: safety nets we have in the United States, which again
Speaker 2: the Republicans are for destroying all of them. We need,
Speaker 2: we need an expansion on these kinds of programs, like
Speaker 2: you know, like at a minimum, like what about a
Speaker 2: living wage? Like that also affects people's calculus. Why would
Speaker 2: it's very difficult to even want to have a child,
Speaker 2: to bring a child into the world when you yourself
Speaker 2: are struggling to have your most basic needs met, so
Speaker 2: to have that come from a party that stands for
Speaker 2: making life as hard as possible for everyone except billionaires.
Speaker 2: It's like you're talking absolute horseshit. And I think that's why,
Speaker 2: like everyone just kind of sees he just has this
Speaker 2: like vibe of like trying to reflect like whatever he
Speaker 2: thinks that people around him are gonna want to hear.
Speaker 2: So it's like, all right, I don't lean back. We're
Speaker 2: talking about zim pals and stuff. They're gonna love how
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, shut up about pokemon, am I right? Guys? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then like deep in like what he takes his
Speaker 2: clown makeup but like off at night. Every night he's
Speaker 2: just crying in the mirror because he's like, yeah, become
Speaker 2: this aberration. I don't know what.
Speaker 1: It takes his happy clown makeup off and there's a
Speaker 1: sad clown makeup underneath. She has the same thing that Ivanka.
Speaker 1: Ivanka is the daughter, right not Ivanka.
Speaker 2: Had Remember who he's married to. It's a cog right.
Speaker 1: In which one of those Yeah, there's like this cognitive
Speaker 1: dissonance where they just like have a box, like a
Speaker 1: black box in their head where like horrifying policy, like
Speaker 1: authoritarian white supremacist policy goes in and like out comes
Speaker 1: this like weird reinterpretation that makes it a like progressive
Speaker 1: policy that they can like live with. Like I remember
Speaker 1: her doing that like in speeches back before she was
Speaker 1: like distanced herself from the whole operation. But yeah, that
Speaker 1: was that was a stretch, Yeah, to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think what he meant was it's hard to be
Speaker 1: a parent and the government doesn't help us enough.
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think.
Speaker 1: He wants more paid parental leave and more support for parents?
Speaker 2: You want this to be the literal nanny state? Right, Okay,
Speaker 2: my god, then bring it.
Speaker 6: And she's kind of just advertising him as a really
Speaker 6: shitty communicator because what she had to say over and
Speaker 6: over again was well if you if you look at
Speaker 6: the context, what do you really meant to say?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Like she's having to translate
Speaker 5: for him because apparently he is such a poor communicator,
Speaker 5: not even off the cuff. When you are writing something
Speaker 5: so practiced and publishing it on X that you then
Speaker 5: need to have someone like backfill that.
Speaker 6: Right, No, that's not really working, but it does.
Speaker 5: I mean, I do love another you know, the trope
Speaker 5: of the wife who has to translate for her misogynistic husband,
Speaker 5: he is carrying on that tradition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, which might be the most relatable thing. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm related, I'm married to a ship bag. Can y'all relate? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Am I right? Lady? Yeah? All the women at the
Speaker 2: Republican rally, she's doing open mic ship She's like, these
Speaker 2: guys are fucking babies? Am I right? Ladies? They're like
Speaker 2: he can't even heat up milk? What the fuck is
Speaker 2: wrong with this guy? I don't know, but yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean like that's funny the milk again.
Speaker 5: Also three word phrases, a three word phrase, all of
Speaker 5: the three, you know, the different three word phrases, just like, yeah.
Speaker 2: What are the other three? I'm like, what else? Lumping
Speaker 2: like before that is like, you guys are just weird.
Speaker 2: Certified couch fucker, yeah, certified couch fucker. Yeah, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: convicted sex offender. You know, these are just three word
Speaker 2: phrases that are meant to completely rob us of any context.
Speaker 2: And what my husband meant to say is we need
Speaker 2: more social safety net programs or parents, and we need
Speaker 2: to actually have an emphasis on prenatal care for expecting
Speaker 2: parents that's all. That's all. Oh is that not on
Speaker 2: the platform? Okay, okay, well then you got me.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
