Speaker 2: I'm not you as a goddess of you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Yeah. It has to be with
Speaker 3: a lightsaber though or else.
Speaker 1: All Right, Joe, we're going to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about RFK Junior, who will now be
Speaker 1: running as an independent overall response to that news. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Scholastic book fair who responded badly to
Speaker 1: people being like they caught the woke mind virus we got. Okay, Yah,
Speaker 1: what do you want us to do?
Speaker 3: You just tell us so polky Man cards instead of
Speaker 3: books about diversity Jesus.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about how the
Speaker 1: new NASA spacesuits will be made by Prada. For some reason, Yes,
Speaker 1: but this made me identify the spacesuit as something that
Speaker 1: looks way better than it has any right, Like it's
Speaker 1: I don't know who, the spacesuit looks fucking dope, man,
Speaker 1: and it always kind of has, and I'd always sort
Speaker 1: of taken it for granted that it did until they
Speaker 1: put it in this fashion context. And now I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: like that that spacesuit as fucking dude. Fire that orange
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight flight. Yeah, we both pointed out
Speaker 1: the same one of the same exact time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that shit is lit. I feel like that
Speaker 3: kind of mainstreamed wearing, like that sort of safety orange
Speaker 3: color as like a like something part of the fashion palette,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So having the taste got us on with us. We'll
Speaker 1: take a look at that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Well, I also just want to identify other kind of uniforms,
Speaker 1: examples of uniforms or like you know, clothing that are
Speaker 1: just way more fashionable, way cooler than they have any
Speaker 1: right to be. Yeah, so we'll talk about that, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the erotic thriller being back maybe kind of,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the Seinfeld reunion that isn't happening,
Speaker 1: just so anybody who's waiting on.
Speaker 3: That, no point in talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but just the point in talking about it is like,
Speaker 1: it's guys, they're fucking doing another super Bowl commercial. It's
Speaker 1: almost commercial, right all right, like the other one Ferris Bueller,
Speaker 1: where they're like a new sequel to Ferris Bueller. It's like,
Speaker 1: what what Why would anybody want.
Speaker 3: To see that? What is what would it be about?
Speaker 1: Like? But then it was a super Bowl commercial with
Speaker 1: old Matthew whatever Broderick doing Farris Bueller stuff and it
Speaker 1: was fine. It was able to sustain in a whole
Speaker 1: ninety seconds, which yeah, anyway.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's like it would be funny if they had
Speaker 3: it come back together. And like Cameron who plays Connor Roy,
Speaker 3: like Alan Ruck from from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Like
Speaker 3: they pass forward and he's like, I'm actually I was
Speaker 3: Connor Roy that whole time. No, yeah, it's one thing
Speaker 3: you don't know because wasn't it his dad's car that
Speaker 3: they was so scared of?
Speaker 1: The dad?
Speaker 3: Yea yeah, it's the character.
Speaker 2: Of that story anyway.
Speaker 4: So like when you come back who nobody cares about
Speaker 4: Ferris like a perfect kise has a wonderful day.
Speaker 2: Not the key element of the story.
Speaker 4: It's his best friend who's like trying to figure out
Speaker 4: what to do with his life. He's like on the
Speaker 4: precipice of going off to college and yeah, I would
Speaker 4: definitely come back and watching Connor Roy style, like, but
Speaker 4: he give a cool version of Connor Roy because he
Speaker 4: was like, no, screw you, Dad, I did fuck up
Speaker 4: your car and I'll give a ship.
Speaker 1: He was gonna fold the second his dad got home.
Speaker 1: He was going to put Frearis Bheeler in prison. He
Speaker 1: was gonna be like, Dad, Faris stole the car and
Speaker 1: it was like and he fucking like led a Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day parade and ship too like and broke into powers.
Speaker 4: Ran him out to the principle like immediately terrible murder
Speaker 4: that principal Dad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Cameron Fry Connor Roy. I mean it's yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of right there, folks. I feel like that's
Speaker 3: like some kind of fan video someone would cut to
Speaker 3: try and make it seem like that was like young
Speaker 3: Connor Roy.
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's an idea for people. He's always been going
Speaker 1: you know, channeling a ruined scion of the wealthy. So
Speaker 1: you know that's it's a very specific thing, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's kept him in clothes for for a long time.
Speaker 1: It's kept him doing pretty well, kept him Morgan. Anyways,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more, But first, Joel Monique, we
Speaker 1: do like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history?
Speaker 4: Okay, so stay with me on this one. Best bread
Speaker 4: maker woman. I was looking for the name of a
Speaker 4: woman who bakes bread really well.
Speaker 2: Her name is Nancy silver In Silverton.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she created the bread over at
Speaker 4: Libria Bakery.
Speaker 2: It is so damn good.
Speaker 4: Google came back with, like, here's a bunch of breadmakers
Speaker 4: women might like not at all what I was looking for,
Speaker 4: but we found her.
Speaker 1: Offecially And does that mean they're just breadmakers but they're pink?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Hell one, here's the one that's easy to use.
Speaker 4: Jesus ChRI the favor when I came across was like,
Speaker 4: all you could do is just dump all the ingredients
Speaker 4: in the bread maker and it'll need and then bake
Speaker 4: the dough for you.
Speaker 2: I was like, I wouldn't trust this, but I like
Speaker 2: the idea.
Speaker 4: That out there, someone's like, I want bread without any effort,
Speaker 4: but not enough to like go buy a loaf of bread, want.
Speaker 1: To I want to make fresh break baked bread without
Speaker 1: realizing I'm doing that right by accident. I want to
Speaker 1: accidentally make fresh made bread bread.
Speaker 3: At I'm having that. I'm having that. It's well, Nancy Silverton,
Speaker 3: I'm the goat. You know most fucking Have you been
Speaker 3: to Triple Beam the pizza place and Supreme Love? It
Speaker 3: will be a lyrical dream. Yeah, shout out to Chris Wallace. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's that place is fantastic. Also, romance style pizza, I
Speaker 3: believe is what they call it.
Speaker 4: Yes, she's all about that, uh limited anger shoes, Like
Speaker 4: I want to taste the freshness of the ingredient and
Speaker 4: I want every dish to be simple so that you
Speaker 4: are purely enjoying like the natural taste that Earth has
Speaker 4: given you. And I think that is a beautiful philosophy
Speaker 4: behind food. Also, she was like a chef owner at
Speaker 4: a very young age. She made bread so good she
Speaker 4: once made Julia Child's cry on TV how.
Speaker 1: Do you make something at that point? By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you watched the episode the whole time.
Speaker 4: Julia's like, oh, this is very nice, you know, I
Speaker 4: love your little store so cute. And Nancy's like, okay,
Speaker 4: so here's the brand. Julia's child says it, and she
Speaker 4: gets so quiet, like like placidly quiet, and a single
Speaker 4: tear pours from her eyes and she says, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: this is so good. There's never no one's ever going
Speaker 4: to compliment that tops.
Speaker 2: That, that's the top of compliments.
Speaker 3: That's like, I can't that's giving me chills. And I'm like, damn,
Speaker 3: like I don't think what would be something like that.
Speaker 3: I don't even know. Yeah, God, how do you make.
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan compliments your free throw?
Speaker 1: Maybe? Yeah, Jordan compliments the way I dunk from the
Speaker 1: free throw line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly like you dunk from the free throw line.
Speaker 3: And then he just comes up to you like crying
Speaker 3: those same tiers from like the last dance.
Speaker 1: He's like, man, Joe Rogan comes on our podcast with
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons and is like, dude, this podcast is tight.
Speaker 1: You know, those are the objectively best podcasters based on numbers. Hell,
Speaker 1: you can make a mark.
Speaker 2: So good you changed mind about Marvel Films.
Speaker 3: There you go, Top tops tell them.
Speaker 1: I don't see him making any movies starring Iron Man,
Speaker 1: so maybe he should get his big mouth all. By
Speaker 1: the way, you you are a film critique, film a
Speaker 1: film enjoyer, a film writer. Well, have you seen any
Speaker 1: of the any of the big ones thus far that
Speaker 1: are coming up?
Speaker 2: Actually? So not really.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I've watched a lot of old movies and a
Speaker 4: lot of really old television lately because of the strike,
Speaker 4: I haven't, you know, I've been more focused on in
Speaker 4: a week.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is an opportunity to catch up
Speaker 2: on a lot of.
Speaker 3: Old on everything else.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I've been watching Doctor Who for like, starting in
Speaker 4: the two thousand and five relaunch of that series, which
Speaker 4: is been really great. Reading a lot of audio books
Speaker 4: also great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I act House Doctor, Medicine, Doctor Quinn,
Speaker 1: medicine woman. It sounds like you can't think of which
Speaker 1: doctor you go watching, Doc Doctor Octopus, oh man, being
Speaker 1: a dad like these these jokes just you know, flow
Speaker 1: through me.
Speaker 3: We know, I say I have to say them. We know,
Speaker 3: we know, and we keep them in and keep you
Speaker 3: a lesson. So you know, amazing, what is uh? What's
Speaker 3: something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Okay, don't get mad, Internet, just calm down. I think
Speaker 4: physically reading a book is overrated because we now have
Speaker 4: audiobooks with expert narrators, and you could just be going
Speaker 4: about doing the mundane things you have to do as
Speaker 4: an adult. Okay, while you're eating your spinach and doing
Speaker 4: your dishes, somebody with voice level talent will come in
Speaker 4: and read you a book so good and so like captivating.
Speaker 4: You won't be able to put it down. You can
Speaker 4: walk your dog. You don't have to stop and read.
Speaker 4: And I have add my hands get fidgety, so what
Speaker 4: I'm reading, I'm like, I'm either up and pacing, or
Speaker 4: like I'm putting it down and getting sidetracked and daydreaming
Speaker 4: and thinking about other stuff. I love physical books, I
Speaker 4: have many. I'm about to buy another bookshelf to store
Speaker 4: all of my books. But I really really enjoy doing
Speaker 4: the audio books. I just got an e library card,
Speaker 4: which I think is the best thing I've done ever.
Speaker 4: I've stopped giving Amazon money to buy one new audiobook
Speaker 4: a month, and now I read like five audio books
Speaker 4: a month because I had my library card.
Speaker 2: Libby the best app.
Speaker 4: It's so good you can do Andrew can still physically
Speaker 4: read books if you want too, yeah, which I think
Speaker 4: is great. The only problem, and it's not even really
Speaker 4: a problem with Libby in order to be reasonable, they
Speaker 4: have to purchase the audio books and then lend them
Speaker 4: out at like a regular rates.
Speaker 5: It's like a physical COPMEY have like thirty copies and
Speaker 5: each one will going out, Yeah, exactly, So then you
Speaker 5: have to it's a weeks long wait list.
Speaker 4: Sometimes there's a hot new book, like the sequel to
Speaker 4: a book I just finished is coming out in a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. They're like, you're seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: sixth in the line. I was like, what what, Okay, fair
Speaker 4: may have to buy the book anyway. But I really
Speaker 4: like it, especially because sometimes if I'm have a physical
Speaker 4: copy of a book and I'm like this is really hard
Speaker 4: to get through, or I'm feeling like suck or I
Speaker 4: need to get up and do other things, I'm like,
Speaker 4: let me just go see if it's on Libby, and
Speaker 4: I'll just give forward to the chapter I'm at, and
Speaker 4: now I'm picking up right where I left off. It's
Speaker 4: a beautiful thing, and I just don't I know. Some
Speaker 4: people are very like anti the audiobooks're like, that's not
Speaker 4: real reading, And I tell you, the story got here,
Speaker 4: all the messages they were trying to convey still up
Speaker 4: here in the brain. I think it's totally valuable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely have that like weird thing inside my
Speaker 3: head where like I'm like, dis same reading it's listening,
Speaker 3: But also I'm like, but I'm taking in the information.
Speaker 3: I know, Like there's a lot of there's always like, oh,
Speaker 3: think pieces about like is it I like, I listened
Speaker 3: to an audio book from my book club?
Speaker 1: Am I bad?
Speaker 3: And you're like, look, it depends, you know, Like sure,
Speaker 3: you're going to engage your imagination a little bit more
Speaker 3: when you're reading a book. But like some books, like
Speaker 3: you're gonna they're gonna hit the same whether you're reading
Speaker 3: them or listening to them. Obviously, like a technical manual,
Speaker 3: probably not easy to like read because you kind of
Speaker 3: need to see all the shit out there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mostly read fantasy novels anyway, like right, and so
Speaker 4: being able to somebody who has like all the voices
Speaker 4: and the cool stuff, reading words that are not real
Speaker 4: words that the author made up and now I know
Speaker 4: the actual pronunciation that's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Really appreciate that.
Speaker 4: And then too, I think that there's something really magical
Speaker 4: about like I don't know, carpet time where we got
Speaker 4: to read a book, like our teacher would read us
Speaker 4: book for a nap time. It was like my favorite
Speaker 4: time in school, and there's definitely something being recreated. And
Speaker 4: listen to an audiobook about that where I'm like, I
Speaker 4: don't think there's any less imagination if I'm still closing
Speaker 4: my eyes and picturing what's happening in the book, if
Speaker 4: someone's reading it to me.
Speaker 2: It just frees me up to be a little bit
Speaker 2: looser with it.
Speaker 3: I think, Look, don't I think where it gets like
Speaker 3: weird is like, don't let it dissuade you. If there's
Speaker 3: something that interests you, like no, I can't listen to that,
Speaker 3: I have to read it. Don't put that off. If
Speaker 3: you're gonna if you're gonna engage with the information, then
Speaker 3: just do it. It's better than not engaging with like
Speaker 3: new ideas or information.
Speaker 1: So farth agree.
Speaker 3: There are some.
Speaker 4: Books that I have to physically read, like Tony Morrison's Jazz.
Speaker 4: I tried to listen to the audio. It's like my
Speaker 4: favorite book I read it like once a year, but
Speaker 4: I can't listen to the audiobook because there's a rhythmic
Speaker 4: syntax of the narrator isn't hitting. And I was like,
Speaker 4: this is I can't sink into what's happening here. I
Speaker 4: have to read it in the format of her language
Speaker 4: that she like physically wrote, or I'm reading Mabbel right now.
Speaker 4: I bought a physical copy while it's being read to me,
Speaker 4: so that because reading it was a challenge because it's
Speaker 4: in multiple languages, right, so, like the main character is Chinese, say,
Speaker 4: speaking different language and then he has to switch back
Speaker 4: to English, and I don't understand all the word but
Speaker 4: you know, if somebody's reading it to me, oh man,
Speaker 4: now it's like I can just take it all in
Speaker 4: a lot easier. I can follow along, I can highlight
Speaker 4: and take notes in my book while I just love it.
Speaker 2: I think it's fabulous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think having both options available to me
Speaker 1: is really like my sweet spot of like that is
Speaker 1: when I really take in a book, if it's being
Speaker 1: read to me while I'm reading it, like you're get
Speaker 1: in both because I'm definitely more of a like I
Speaker 1: have created like cheats, like I've found. I've explored all
Speaker 1: the different apps for like having text read to you
Speaker 1: like and have like different you know, I have our
Speaker 1: doc sometimes like the doc that we used to you know,
Speaker 1: structure our show. I have that read to me sometimes,
Speaker 1: but like you be able to read it and have it
Speaker 1: read to you at the same time, like is how.
Speaker 1: I've had great experiences with that in the past couple
Speaker 1: of years. And yeah, you can also like Gravity's rainbow.
Speaker 1: I'd never made much of a dent, and when I
Speaker 1: was on vacation last year, I was able to like
Speaker 1: get hundreds of pages into that by having it read
Speaker 1: to me while I was reading it with my ask
Speaker 1: and then I write. Then I lost steam when I
Speaker 1: got there.
Speaker 4: It's also not our fault. We don't live in a
Speaker 4: world of like public transit. Did you just be able
Speaker 4: to read a lot on like public transit or like
Speaker 4: while you're waiting for the bus if you can't do
Speaker 4: like most sickness and stuff. But in LA we're all
Speaker 4: in our cars all the time. And I think that
Speaker 4: this helps us bridge a gas. This is how we
Speaker 4: catch up to New York. Yea, our books read annually.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: We need to be as smart as New York, and
Speaker 3: I need to offset the difference between our cities. Yeah, listening,
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back.
Speaker 3: We'll hear what you think is underrated and get into
Speaker 3: some news. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back and Joelle Monique, what is something that
Speaker 1: you think is underrated?
Speaker 4: Multiple birthday celebrations?
Speaker 1: Yeah, me tell you.
Speaker 4: Okay, So some people get really offended when they're like,
Speaker 4: your birthday is a day and that is all you get.
Speaker 4: I have never subscribed to that because my birthday is
Speaker 4: October first, and so my birthday month starts with my
Speaker 4: birthday and ends with Halloween. It is a perfect bookend month.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to stop celebrating simply because the day
Speaker 4: has passed. Makes zero sense to me. And I have
Speaker 4: like a lot of friends from different groups that you know,
Speaker 4: not all of them are going to overlap, but you
Speaker 4: kind of want to like celebrate and hang out with
Speaker 4: all of them. You don't want people to feel upset
Speaker 4: when they're not invited to your party. Then that becomes
Speaker 4: the whole thing. So my workaround has been I'll do
Speaker 4: a lot of small parties. Hey had two or three friends,
Speaker 4: so I like my very first party this year. We
Speaker 4: went to a super nice restaurant, which, of course I
Speaker 4: can't remember the name of it now, and then we
Speaker 4: went and saw the musical Hadestown, which was so good
Speaker 4: to have fancy night with my fancy friends. Then I
Speaker 4: went to D'scano Gardens, which is like, a it's a
Speaker 4: big let's call it raborium.
Speaker 3: Is that what it is? It's a yeah, it's it's
Speaker 3: a it's it's like an arboretum or yeah, you called
Speaker 3: an arboretum slash gardens there? Yeah, what do you call that?
Speaker 1: Floral?
Speaker 3: What the fuck am I looking for?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Huntington Huntington Gardens is what it's called garden?
Speaker 1: What meanical? Botanical?
Speaker 2: Panicle guard? There it is.
Speaker 4: They got all the different kinds of flowers, rose sections
Speaker 4: and and right now it's Halloween things, which means they
Speaker 4: have giant pumpkins that are cards. They have like pumpkins,
Speaker 4: statues and hate nizes and little installations. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: like like yeah, like you can take.
Speaker 1: Your two hairls there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby, Yeah, the gus child was loving it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got they got the lights that are flashing.
Speaker 4: It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: So many people run out of the woods with fake
Speaker 1: chain saws.
Speaker 4: No, no, not no, not even one jump scare.
Speaker 1: They never mind.
Speaker 4: Then the people all along the path.
Speaker 2: It's funny because we did talk about that.
Speaker 4: We had the impulse to be like, should we just
Speaker 4: start scaring these children and teach them Halloween is really about?
Speaker 2: But that's inappropriate.
Speaker 1: They do have Wait, what to do when your parents
Speaker 1: age and you're responsible for their medical bills and you're
Speaker 1: just trying to build your own life?
Speaker 3: What oh sorry, that's just the thought my generation has
Speaker 3: that we're deeply afraid of that we aren't really considering
Speaker 3: yet and how medical deck could maybe be ours. Anyway,
Speaker 3: you're going going not prepared.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was we rolled I think like fifteen deep,
Speaker 4: which was great. It is the real like you talk
Speaker 4: about like a mile. Maybe it's looking very casual, like
Speaker 4: weaving through of things. They have chruros there. If there's churros,
Speaker 4: it's going to be magical. Yes, yes, and candy a.
Speaker 4: I can't do candy apples because they make my teeth
Speaker 4: hairt by sticky and you have bit into it and
Speaker 4: it's also hard.
Speaker 2: I just don't think they're meant for adults.
Speaker 1: Eat.
Speaker 4: I think that's the thing you can do when you
Speaker 4: have a second set of teeth coming in and it
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what happens sec.
Speaker 3: Behind your adult teeth. Oh yeah, I got unlimited teeth.
Speaker 3: My teeth.
Speaker 1: I got rat teeth. They just keep growing. Kind of
Speaker 1: grind them down.
Speaker 3: Do rat teeth keep growing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just keep growing, and as they get longer,
Speaker 1: like so they have to like chew on things to
Speaker 1: like grind them down to keep them from getting in
Speaker 1: their mouth. Okay, every aspect of the rat is horrifying, truly.
Speaker 3: Hey man, that's my zodiac year. You know, I'm a rat,
Speaker 3: but it explains why my teeth.
Speaker 2: Rat.
Speaker 4: But most of the birthday celebrations have them. I got,
Speaker 4: what are we doing next week?
Speaker 2: Apple? Picking? Apple?
Speaker 3: You're not trying to do a thing where like everybody
Speaker 3: come to this nightclub and pay for my drinks. You're
Speaker 3: just like, hey, it's a reason to get together, you know,
Speaker 3: And that's it. It's not because I remember when I
Speaker 3: was younger, there were people who did the very fucking
Speaker 3: like main character type of like birthday two weeks and
Speaker 3: you're like, wait, what the fuck I'm being summoned to
Speaker 3: another fucking club And I'm like, no, I'm like, I
Speaker 3: fucking hate clubs and no, like you've hit the key element.
Speaker 4: You got to circulate through different friends or fail like
Speaker 4: this is my family party, is my girls party, my
Speaker 4: bros party, this is my nerd party.
Speaker 2: Like, break it up into.
Speaker 4: Groups so that you're not over taxing people are demanding
Speaker 4: too much. I also think it's great. My friend Cheyana
Speaker 4: just had her birthday party and she was like, tapas
Speaker 4: placed nothing over fifteen dollars. Wherever you're at financially, you're
Speaker 4: gonna have a good time. This is brilliant, brilliant, easy easy.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, speaking of brilliant, RFK Junior.
Speaker 3: Is what are you Fox News? Two months ago or
Speaker 3: two months Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right? You know, guys sees the matrix. He sees through
Speaker 1: it all and he you know, first he was running
Speaker 1: as a challenger to Joe Biden as the Democratic spoiler,
Speaker 1: and you know, he had a he had a rocky
Speaker 1: start to his campaign. He he's a campaign event that
Speaker 1: was ruined by a deafening fart. And in that same
Speaker 1: campaign event, it was he was filmed claiming that COVID
Speaker 1: was genetically engineered to spare Ashkenazi, Jews and Chinese people.
Speaker 3: Ah, so just just some light anti semitism and to
Speaker 3: kick yeah for everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure I have to imagine he came back
Speaker 1: and said I don't have an anti Semitic bone in
Speaker 1: my body.
Speaker 3: He did, he did say something. It was something to
Speaker 3: that effect, but it's like, you guys aren't getting what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's like, well, no, we're talking about what
Speaker 3: the implication is what you're saying.
Speaker 1: So you might think, okay, after that, he's probably out
Speaker 1: of public embarrassments. But no, he had another event, and
Speaker 1: this one to announce that he wouldn't be seeing the
Speaker 1: Democratic nomination and instead he will run for president as
Speaker 1: an independent and because there's no vaccine for incompetence and
Speaker 1: even if there was, he wouldn't take it. It did
Speaker 1: not go well. He yeah, Like first there was like
Speaker 1: a thing up that what was his It was his
Speaker 1: campaign slogan, where is it?
Speaker 3: Declare your Independence was what it was.
Speaker 1: So the first thing that happened he is his new
Speaker 1: campaign slogan is declare your independence. And then like people
Speaker 1: heard like what one of his campaign managers were like
Speaker 1: frantically going around being like, take declare your independence off
Speaker 1: the TV.
Speaker 3: Take it off the TV. We're not ready for reveal
Speaker 3: that yet.
Speaker 1: That's not we're not ready to reveal that yet, and
Speaker 1: so they just like changed it to like the signal bars,
Speaker 1: like the multi colored bars like type yeah, the things
Speaker 1: have gone wrong with whatever TV signal that, so that
Speaker 1: goes up instead. Meanwhile, there's a big sign that says
Speaker 1: declare your independence, Like right, fine, just yeah physicals right there.
Speaker 1: And then he finally gets up on stage and sets
Speaker 1: up to reveal his uh to you know, make his speech,
Speaker 1: and then leaves leaves.
Speaker 3: The stage again. Just listen to this. He shows up.
Speaker 3: It's so comical. He's like he's acting like me, like
Speaker 3: on a first date where I do the thing where
Speaker 3: I forgot my wallet so I don't have to pay.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh ship, I don't have my fucking speech.
Speaker 3: And then it turns into a just a carnival. Here
Speaker 3: we go. He's taking the stage, pat in his pockets. Ah,
Speaker 3: I need my speech.
Speaker 1: People are laughing.
Speaker 3: Hot Mike, Hot, you can't read anything, but.
Speaker 1: This is real. What then comes back to elector and
Speaker 1: goes back again.
Speaker 3: He looks like he's like starting to get pissed. He
Speaker 3: says the teleprompters now upside down.
Speaker 2: And so that the losing energy just waiting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they're like so bad. But it's like
Speaker 1: this whole choreographed media thing where like there's like a
Speaker 1: swooping crane shot coming in over the audience to like
Speaker 1: an empty electer, and he doesn't. He doesn't look like
Speaker 1: he's dealing well with it, you know, like like some
Speaker 1: politicians would just like roll with it and be like
Speaker 1: charismatic and be like, you know, this is no big deal.
Speaker 1: He looked like he was like someone was getting fired
Speaker 1: for him, having forgotten his speech was the impression that
Speaker 1: you got, so yeah, no vaccine for incompetence, unfortunately, and
Speaker 1: of course he would not take it. Just wanted to
Speaker 1: repeat that joke from our writer JM.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: He's good.
Speaker 1: So he may end up being the most formidable independent
Speaker 1: candidate since Ross Perrot. Like despite all of this, despite
Speaker 1: the anti Semitism, despite the anti anti vax stuff, or
Speaker 1: possibly because of the anti vax stufe. He you know,
Speaker 1: this now puts him in a position where he's going to, like,
Speaker 1: currently he's pulling at around fourteen percent. Fifteen percent is
Speaker 1: what is required to like get into the presidential debates.
Speaker 1: So this man could be in the presidential debates spreading
Speaker 1: vaccine truther bullshit, which is not great for the future
Speaker 1: of the country, not great for I don't know, like
Speaker 1: everybody's claiming this as like a win for their side,
Speaker 1: but the when when you look at like who's actually
Speaker 1: freaking out about it, it does seem like the Republican
Speaker 1: side is pretty unhappy with. Oh yeah, development, I think whoever.
Speaker 1: I think this is certainly Alien's versus predator. Whoever wins,
Speaker 1: we all lose type situation with him coming and joining
Speaker 1: and like being just any any extra RFK junior that
Speaker 1: the public gets is probably an l for the public. Right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And but the other thing that's wild though,
Speaker 3: is like, like you're saying, the second he's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm running as a Democrat, right, the right wing media
Speaker 3: loved him because they immediately like just saw him purely
Speaker 3: as this is gonna this is gonna be a Biden spoiler.
Speaker 3: We love this guy. We fucking love this guy, to
Speaker 3: the point that he was having more weekday appearances on
Speaker 3: fucking Fox than even like Ron DeSantis was, and he
Speaker 3: was getting name checked more than Mike Pence was When
Speaker 3: Media Matters was doing like an analysis of Fox's coverage
Speaker 3: of him, and it started off so rosie, so lovely.
Speaker 3: We were hearing all kinds of let me play something here.
Speaker 3: This is Jesse Waters coming out right around the time
Speaker 3: that he announced his campaign, to be like, this guy's agreed.
Speaker 3: This guy, this democrat gets it.
Speaker 6: So RFK Junior has a vision, I mean, at least
Speaker 6: he has when Biden has none. RFK Junior's lane is
Speaker 6: on the populist left. Unlike Biden. He's against the deep state,
Speaker 6: obviously because of what happened to his dad and uncle
Speaker 6: anti censorship, remember the Biden White House censored him over vaccines.
Speaker 6: He's riding a hot anti corporate streak, especially against big
Speaker 6: pharma and big tech.
Speaker 3: And then so it goes on to be like this
Speaker 3: guy like, you know, this guy's actually, this guy's got
Speaker 3: a head on. You know, there's something about this guy.
Speaker 3: Here's even Sean Hannity who at the time was like,
Speaker 3: this guy's got something like. This is because RFK is
Speaker 3: also doing the stuff of like we need to strengthen
Speaker 3: the southern border and doing that whole xenophobic thing that
Speaker 3: appeals to people on the right. So here's Sean Hannity
Speaker 3: praising RFK when he visited the southern border.
Speaker 7: Wow, that's what democrat RK delivering a much needed dose
Speaker 7: of reality to the entire Democratic Party, all while gaining
Speaker 7: real support and sparking quote jitters inside of Biden's orbit.
Speaker 7: He's also against biological men and women's sports and was
Speaker 7: dead set against how the country was treated with regards
Speaker 7: to COVID, and his candidacy is getting very interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh he's going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy is also a transphobe.
Speaker 4: And so gets biological men and women's sports.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's remainable.
Speaker 1: Are you against?
Speaker 4: You just against men and women playing sports?
Speaker 1: What's happening their biological men in women's sports?
Speaker 2: Women?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Very used. They're playing together.
Speaker 3: What's next?
Speaker 1: Mixed doubles?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They not in my country club.
Speaker 1: Well, Miles the Fox is tradition, very ideologically consistent, and
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they've changed their tune now that
Speaker 1: he's no longer running as a Democrat, right, Like it
Speaker 1: would seem like if he's not running his Democrat, make
Speaker 1: make them like him more? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean democrat. He's fucking RFK. Two nights ago,
Speaker 3: on Handity and Hannity just fucking goes for his neck.
Speaker 3: He's like, you think the NRAs a terrorist? You supported Hillary?
Speaker 3: Like just being like you're a lib asshole, aren't you.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Here's just a little bit of that exchange when Handy
Speaker 3: just fucking put him to the against the wall. Here
Speaker 3: we go.
Speaker 7: I meant, so, you've made in twenty sixteen, seventeen, nineteen endorsements.
Speaker 7: We know the year's Gore, Kerry Obama, Hillary, Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 7: They're all recent quotes. The NRA quote you made about
Speaker 7: calling them a terror group is twenty eighteen. So there,
Speaker 7: these are recent positions you've had. I'm not sure why
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party wouldn't allow you to compete.
Speaker 6: Dude, Do you want to talk about my positions?
Speaker 7: Sir?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, you want to.
Speaker 7: Read talking points from the Trump campaign. Excuse me, These
Speaker 7: are not talking points. There are called Hannity points. I
Speaker 7: do my own research.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, they're called Handity points.
Speaker 3: That is such a dad arguing with a teenager type rhetoric.
Speaker 3: It's like they aren't called these aren't called it's not
Speaker 3: called unfair. They're called daddy's rules. Okay, that's what I
Speaker 3: did my research exactly we're not having an argument. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you how it is when you live under this roof, right,
Speaker 3: I don't need to explain myself. I'm the parent and
Speaker 3: you're the child. Okay, these aren't Trump points, these are
Speaker 3: Daddies points, trademark. Uh, do my own research like he
Speaker 3: did it all, like he hit the whole, like all
Speaker 3: of the great retorts that you do. And so I'm like,
Speaker 3: what are you even saying? I do my own research, man?
Speaker 3: And I guess it makes sense because really, for all
Speaker 3: the talk of like, oh, he's gonna spoil Biden's campaign
Speaker 3: or whatever it's, there's you gotta consider RFK juniors appeal
Speaker 3: with anti vaxxers, and when you couple that with that
Speaker 3: outrage from a lot of maga people, when like we've
Speaker 3: talked about when like Trump has been like and I
Speaker 3: developed the vaccine and people were.
Speaker 1: Like fuck the vaccine, fuck you.
Speaker 3: That's when you start to kind of see where they
Speaker 3: might be like, oh, is he gonna take our.
Speaker 2: Voters a little bit?
Speaker 1: Who knows here?
Speaker 3: Which way is it gonna crumble? But yeah, uh they're
Speaker 3: little sweaty times right now, A fox.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's interesting and like a lot of his
Speaker 1: campaign up to this point was funded by right wing groups,
Speaker 1: so like he kind of pulled a yoink on him,
Speaker 1: you know yeah, and was like, yeah, I'll take your funding.
Speaker 1: That's great. I'm gonna challenge Biden and Trump. I'm a
Speaker 1: fuck both their campaigns up.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, well let let's see.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You hate to see it, Miles, you really hate to
Speaker 3: see it. You really do the deep state though, Jack,
Speaker 3: what do you think got him him his dad and
Speaker 3: his uncle.
Speaker 1: Because of what I did to his dad and his uncle. Again,
Speaker 1: that's just straightforward, self evident declaration that the CIA killed
Speaker 1: R FK and JFK on on Fox News.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well no people, people don't they just go
Speaker 3: the deep state did it? Whatever? That this abstraction we
Speaker 3: just called the deep state. Yeah, yeah, they did that.
Speaker 3: They did that. Probably the guys who tried to impeach
Speaker 3: Trump are the ones who did it.
Speaker 1: The same guys.
Speaker 3: They're still alive. They're old though now, so they're not
Speaker 3: as spry as they used to be.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, let's talk about scholastic book fairs. They're
Speaker 1: still out here. My kids school had one where the
Speaker 1: big red bookcases. Still. Yeah, I think they have the
Speaker 1: big red bookcases. Yeah, but they come in set up
Speaker 1: big bookcases and a place that doesn't like not in
Speaker 1: the library.
Speaker 3: No, it's like in the parking gym.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love I loved these, Like did you
Speaker 1: guys love Like when Scholastic came to town, Like Jack.
Speaker 4: We just had a whole conversation about books. I was
Speaker 4: like queen a Scholastic books.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: My mom would be like, here's.
Speaker 4: A Sharp twenty, which if you spent your money wisely,
Speaker 4: you get like up to four books, probably like two
Speaker 4: when some standards like a nice bookshelf or a bookmark, Yes,
Speaker 4: a pencil racer would be great. I usually went for bookmarks.
Speaker 4: I was always losing and bending them. But it was
Speaker 4: like the best time of year. And if you were
Speaker 4: head on that pizza hut additional Scholastic stuff, you got
Speaker 4: a pizza and then like Scholastic points.
Speaker 2: Were they doing that when you all are kids?
Speaker 3: No, wait, what what did they do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were doing the They were doing the pizza
Speaker 1: hut when when I was a kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you think you would read so many books
Speaker 4: and then like take your stuff in the pizza hut
Speaker 4: and they would give.
Speaker 2: You like the little like I have like a coop
Speaker 2: like yeah something.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, get that why my pizza hut.
Speaker 1: Interrogated me using the Socratic method to find out if
Speaker 1: I read the books. I love that. Yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: we did that. We like our school would have days
Speaker 1: that were just reading. Like it was like once a year,
Speaker 1: but it would They would have a day where you
Speaker 1: would like bring a blanket to school and just like
Speaker 1: pick a spot, like people were like you know, spread
Speaker 1: out with their books in the hallway. You just read
Speaker 1: the whole day and it was like a competition to
Speaker 1: see if you could, like how many pages you could
Speaker 1: put away? Wait really yeah it was. That was fun.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Magsig Middle School and outside Dayton, Ohio.
Speaker 3: I never even had ship like that that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: they did not like a day off. Yeah it was fun.
Speaker 3: That was That was middle school. But that was that
Speaker 3: was what I want to go back to middle school then,
Speaker 3: me too, although in Madison style.
Speaker 1: Less cool now because as a of you know, Scholastic
Speaker 1: still major thing. It's holding one hundred and twenty thousand
Speaker 1: book fairs at schools across the US as of twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: but recently they have been responding to people saying the book,
Speaker 1: the book offerings are too diverse, and they're they're forcing
Speaker 1: the woke agenda on air kids. Some school librarians have
Speaker 1: been posting on social media accusing Scholastic of giving schools
Speaker 1: an option to exclude diverse books from their fares, including
Speaker 1: books on racial and LGBTQ plus issues. These are the books,
Speaker 1: like some of the books that are being like blacklisted
Speaker 1: are I can't like? One is called Almah and how
Speaker 1: she got her name? It is the least it Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Caldacond on her book. You know that gold seal
Speaker 1: when you're like, this shit is approval for children. It's
Speaker 1: about the origins of a girl's name. You are Enough.
Speaker 3: It's a book co written by an eleven year old
Speaker 3: model and actors with Down syndrome. Change my asshole, Yeah
Speaker 3: what no, don't show kids that don't let kids expect,
Speaker 3: accept themselves, change things. That's by Amanda Gorman. Her book
Speaker 3: Refugee by Alan Gratz. It's about about three stories of
Speaker 3: like thirteen year olds that are like having to be
Speaker 3: refugees and shit from different perspectives and different time periods,
Speaker 3: and they're like, get this shit out.
Speaker 1: Push your empathy on my kids. Yeah, you can't have.
Speaker 3: Them feeling empathy, which is wild too, because it's done
Speaker 3: so cynically that all of those books are within like
Speaker 3: because you remember the Scholastic fairs, like they they're like
Speaker 3: these like metal cases that fold up in half and
Speaker 3: then they wheel them in and out and then unlock
Speaker 3: them and open them up. So apparently they just have
Speaker 3: one of those red cases that has all the diversity
Speaker 3: books in them, so they're super easy to just xcize
Speaker 3: from the fucking firefying.
Speaker 1: Some librarians who opt to accept the diverse bookcase aren't
Speaker 1: getting it in time.
Speaker 3: I'm for the start of the fair. They're like, oh, sorry, guys,
Speaker 3: we uh.
Speaker 1: This one is heavier than the other ones. U truck again, Yeah,
Speaker 1: damn jesus. Yeah, I don't know. Scholastic is a for
Speaker 1: profit company that continues to support JK Rowling, you know,
Speaker 1: and be like, well, she has her opinions, but she
Speaker 1: also made us a lot of money.
Speaker 4: And continues to make us a lot of money, will
Speaker 4: forever make us a lot of money. I can forget, Like, listen,
Speaker 4: Ja Kroll is a terrible person and we do not
Speaker 4: her in any way, shape or form. I can forgive
Speaker 4: a company being like, uh, this eleven million dollars can
Speaker 4: help me, like fund like twenty seven thousand artists coming up.
Speaker 4: I less have a problem with that, but the idea
Speaker 4: that you're going to remove diverse books from children's access
Speaker 4: is mine. But like I can remember, like I got
Speaker 4: books about like indigenous people's like hot books about like
Speaker 4: like Mexican cultus, like my first like chapter books about
Speaker 4: like other cultures directly came from this little asidic book there.
Speaker 4: And the idea that they're not available anymore, and especially
Speaker 4: when you like zoom out and consider that most of
Speaker 4: these like book banning, it's like what eleven people who
Speaker 4: are just hopping around a different school districts being like, hey,
Speaker 4: get these books need to be banned, and people are
Speaker 4: folding to the pressure of a very small, tiny group
Speaker 4: of people who are just extremely loud.
Speaker 2: It's so disappointing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's there are like reports of like parents just
Speaker 3: basically putting the money together if the school even denies
Speaker 3: having one and the parents have just been putting it
Speaker 3: on too. Like there, it's interesting to see how there
Speaker 3: are responses from parents whore like this is fucked up.
Speaker 3: He's like they deserve to have this fine that will
Speaker 3: fucking foot foot the build at least get the fucking
Speaker 3: bookcases somewhere. But this has kind of been like they've
Speaker 3: been doing shit like this for a minute. There was
Speaker 3: like another book that was about like these this woman
Speaker 3: who's Japanese Americans talking about like it's like a story
Speaker 3: about how her parents met, like in the Japanese internment
Speaker 3: camp and Wild War two, and then the scholastic version
Speaker 3: of it, they asked her to take out like a
Speaker 3: phrase about like like the racism of America at that time,
Speaker 3: and another paragraph about it, and everyone was like, are
Speaker 3: you fucking for real?
Speaker 4: Right in her artist statement, they wanted her to censor
Speaker 4: her artists, not even content from the book that you're
Speaker 4: already selling. It is like her artist statement in the
Speaker 4: back of the book about why she made it. Why
Speaker 4: were you censoring your own artist? Like that is an
Speaker 4: insane thing to do. And to your earlier point, Miles,
Speaker 4: like when I think about the books being banned, like
Speaker 4: Matthew Cherry's Hair Love, which is literally about a little
Speaker 4: girl who really wants to have her hair done nice
Speaker 4: because she's gonna go visit her mom and dad has
Speaker 4: to learn how because she's not walking out of this
Speaker 4: house not looking good. And then it turns out she
Speaker 4: would want to look at because her mom has cancer
Speaker 4: and just shaved all her hair off and they used
Speaker 4: to have fun doing her hair and keep styles. That's
Speaker 4: the entirety of the book. At what point are you
Speaker 4: offended or do you need to protect a child from that?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Like those images like it's just so sinister.
Speaker 3: They're going to learn about the associated costs of cancer
Speaker 3: treatment and then they're going to probably start advocating for
Speaker 3: Medicare for all or universal healthcare or some shit like that.
Speaker 3: It's like really wild, It really is, like at at
Speaker 3: every level, it's like they're trying to like dull the
Speaker 3: development of like a sense of empathy from kids, like
Speaker 3: in anything. It's like, why can't it just be about
Speaker 3: those kids that live in that dang boxcar.
Speaker 1: They were they had a good time, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. They bootstrapped it out of that box car,
Speaker 1: didn't they? Yeah, this the there's also you know, there's
Speaker 1: been the unexplicitly right wing book Fair Brave book Fair
Speaker 1: by the opposite of Brave book Fair, but thrun by
Speaker 1: the Christian publisher that Kirk Cameron works with, and the
Speaker 1: website also provides banners with the language through which to
Speaker 1: demand books be removed from book fairs at schools. So
Speaker 1: they're just trying to use technology to spread lazy like
Speaker 1: you know, to points and make it easier for people
Speaker 1: to start thought killing movements in schools.
Speaker 4: And it's God bless librarians out here doing the Lord's work,
Speaker 4: being like alarm needs to be raised so people know
Speaker 4: what's happening, and also making sure a lot of these
Speaker 4: books stay accessible to children.
Speaker 3: They're like, what's this new coloring book? My little comp
Speaker 3: And it's like I don't know, and I don't know
Speaker 3: how that got in there, but it is like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's just I think what we're seeing, Like to
Speaker 3: your point, Joelle is like, it's just a capitalist money
Speaker 3: making machine. So at every level, just like how do
Speaker 3: we sell more books? Because that's why now it's like
Speaker 3: there's like not even books, it's like part books and
Speaker 3: it's like they want toys. We got that shit too,
Speaker 3: And a lot of people are like this isn't helpful,
Speaker 3: Like what the fuck is this? They're like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if they thought a kid would want a remote
Speaker 3: control car or something too.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's Scholastic is by no means like that a
Speaker 1: good option for this, Like they they've really like kind
Speaker 1: of created a monopoly and have a stranglehold on the market.
Speaker 1: And they yeah, like you said, they've been criticized by
Speaker 1: a consumer watchdog group for using their book clubs to
Speaker 1: push video games, jewelry kits, and toy cars to kids.
Speaker 1: And it's also keuper normative ship for the kiddies, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, they can be fucked up for
Speaker 1: like kids who don't have the means to buy the books,
Speaker 1: you know, to like, oh yeah, yeah, it becomes like
Speaker 1: a flex off for third I.
Speaker 3: Remember, I remember I thought I was styling with fucking
Speaker 3: like the five bucks my mom gave me in first
Speaker 3: grade and at the time I got like a Peewee
Speaker 3: Scouts book and a Bobby Bonilla Mets poster and I
Speaker 3: didn't even fuck with the Mets, but I had to
Speaker 3: max out that five dollars. Fuck it, I'll fuck with
Speaker 3: Bobby bo now in the Mets. And then I remember
Speaker 3: I would see these other kids fucking armfuls of books,
Speaker 3: and I was that was one of the moments I
Speaker 3: was like, am I is there such thing as rich kids?
Speaker 3: Like that's the first kid that was my first taste
Speaker 3: of seeing like those that kind of difference in class obviously,
Speaker 3: like difference than like you go to some kids housing.
Speaker 3: Its gigantic. You're like, holy shit, oh how y'all living
Speaker 3: over here? But before even all that, because I would
Speaker 3: hang out with my friends, I were, you know, similar class.
Speaker 3: Seeing the kids come out with like seventeen books and
Speaker 3: like everything from a case, You're like, oh fuck, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: a little bit different. I'm doing things a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta get Dolly Parton to come in and
Speaker 4: teach us how it's done. Is she like eradicated to
Speaker 4: literacy in Tennessee? Basically, I think like seventy like increased
Speaker 4: literacy by seventy three percent and children she just hands
Speaker 4: out free books. I like that idea. If classic was
Speaker 4: a real one, they would just be like, here's the
Speaker 4: free books to the school. Yeah, evan child gets like
Speaker 4: two or three free books. Go ahead and read children.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's like I think they're publicly traded. I
Speaker 1: think they're you know, they have to look at shareholder value,
Speaker 1: which is always what you want driving the education of
Speaker 1: your children is shareholder value?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're on NASDAC all right, man, Hey, that's
Speaker 3: down to cool. Hey get in now, man by the dip.
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. And I was
Speaker 1: recently announced that the space suits for NASA's twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five lunar mission will be designed by Prada. Hell yes,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that there's literally nobody on the Moon
Speaker 1: to impress with fancy clothes, but I guess a lot
Speaker 1: of people will be watching they as they go to
Speaker 1: the Moon, and Prada is going to have them looking good.
Speaker 1: The suits will provide quote increased flexibility, maybe increased FLEs
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, greater protection for the astronauts. I
Speaker 1: don't buy that, Okay, increased flexibility. I'd be like, all right,
Speaker 1: they have access to like maybe different fabrics and like
Speaker 1: you know, like maybe on that. But Prada knows how
Speaker 1: to provide greater protection than NASA. That's yeah, I'm from
Speaker 1: the space. How is it just because like they're just
Speaker 1: so good at textiles? Is that how they're just being
Speaker 1: like yo, okay, if like we'll help you with the technology.
Speaker 1: I don't even know, like, are they developing spacesuit technology
Speaker 1: or they're merely designing it. How does it work here?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think I guess it's maybe the design to like, okay,
Speaker 3: have it dripped out and they're like, it's actually the
Speaker 3: the suits are too slim to actually keep someone safe
Speaker 3: from the the hostile environment of being in space. Right, yeah,
Speaker 3: very a slim fit NASA spacesuit is this sleeveless with
Speaker 3: a deep V neck.
Speaker 1: We had to take out some tubes and ship but
Speaker 1: we figured, you know, yeah it you gotta suffer to
Speaker 1: look good.
Speaker 3: Right right.
Speaker 4: I'm disappointed if these images are what has come up
Speaker 4: with not all what I was expecting. I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're about to get the new sleek hot ship uniform.
Speaker 1: Well the ones at the bottom, is that the one
Speaker 1: in the dock? Yeah, those are those are just past
Speaker 1: those are the space to this point before they Prada
Speaker 1: has just been tapped. So they're they're going into the
Speaker 1: lab right now.
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing.
Speaker 4: Every year at the Olympics, whatever big designer is like
Speaker 4: out of your country comes in and they design your
Speaker 4: like the walk whatever that big walk is where all
Speaker 4: the countries come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Those all get designed, and each year we could sit
Speaker 4: back like we are fashion of fishonados and be like,
Speaker 4: not the look this year Tommy Hill figure did not
Speaker 4: catch how hoping it really hasn't hit since Salt Lake City.
Speaker 4: They switch off form and maybe that's why we're not
Speaker 4: hitting as much. I feel like we gotta we gotta
Speaker 4: really embrace some new American designers. Virtual Ablow should have
Speaker 4: designed some opening uniforms absolutely before we lost them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4: Truly we have like and if we look back at
Speaker 4: like historically, I think probably the most famous designer like
Speaker 4: tour designer uniforms are Hugo Boss's Nazi uniforms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, obviously the.
Speaker 4: Nazis, but their uniforms were clean the lines where they
Speaker 4: were working. Listen, listen, yougo. Boss could cut a suit.
Speaker 4: That's all we're saying. Period of the story. God knew
Speaker 4: how to use some scissors. I just feel like, if
Speaker 4: we're not gonna no no, no, we burn all that.
Speaker 1: Wipe it from the they made good plates and cutlery.
Speaker 3: Okay, I just like to show them to my other
Speaker 3: wealthy friends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if we if we could get you know
Speaker 4: a designer in here who could make it, you know fashion.
Speaker 4: I'm yeah, I think pretty aesthetics.
Speaker 1: I do too. I think here's the thing. All right,
Speaker 1: So first of all, like this story is just like
Speaker 1: so they were tapped to make the suits by Axiom Space,
Speaker 1: the private space exploration company that recently inked a two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight million dollar contract with NASA to
Speaker 1: modernized spacesuits. So basically, you know, huge sums of tax
Speaker 1: payer money went to pay a corporate middleman who in
Speaker 1: turn hired a high end Italian company. We'll see, like
Speaker 1: maybe they look super clean. I just this brought to
Speaker 1: my attention that some of the space suits to this
Speaker 1: point have been have looked awesome, like way cooler than
Speaker 1: I feel like they had any right to look considering
Speaker 1: that they were designed by Playtex, Like they that's who
Speaker 1: designed these. Yeah yeah, wow, like eighty one, the two
Speaker 1: eighty one spacesuits and the eighty eight orange one, like
Speaker 1: we'll link off to this image. Are eighty eighty one
Speaker 1: is so goaded?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that's like the one that you always see
Speaker 3: like on astronaut ice cream.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that the yellow one with like patches and shit, it's.
Speaker 3: Give me that.
Speaker 1: Give me that.
Speaker 3: When I look at a spacesuit, give me that.
Speaker 1: And it's just like there are because I think I
Speaker 1: did have in the back of my head like those
Speaker 1: Olympic sweatsuits where they everybody enters the stadium, and those
Speaker 1: are things where they're like and we have our greatest
Speaker 1: fashion designers like designing these and they never look as
Speaker 1: cool as you want them to. And I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: like why why did the space suit looks as good
Speaker 1: as it did? And you know what, maybe maybe we
Speaker 1: can call out some other examples of just like uniforms
Speaker 1: or clothes they're just like that go way harder than
Speaker 1: they have any right to go, because like, can.
Speaker 4: We talk about okay, the sixties pan Am Steward is, yes,
Speaker 4: outfits well Bay Faget, we're just talking fashion. My god,
Speaker 4: pillbox blue, like sleek mini skirts and stuff like you
Speaker 4: had to be model level hot to get higher. Again,
Speaker 4: it was the sexist institution and we don't support everything
Speaker 4: about it, but the suits were clean.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna say baseball uniforms because they don't.
Speaker 1: First of all, the baseball hat has just become so iconic,
Speaker 1: so like that that of all sports where that's the
Speaker 1: one that is like, you know, taken over crossed over
Speaker 1: the most I'd have to assume, like no, but like
Speaker 1: part of it might be that the players are all
Speaker 1: like peak athletes. They're not all, but a lot of
Speaker 1: them are peak athlete. So they look great in anything
Speaker 1: that you're gonna put them in. And unfortunately, that is
Speaker 1: the one sport where the managers where like elderly beer
Speaker 1: gut having managers also wear the same uniform, and in
Speaker 1: those cases it's not quite as flattering.
Speaker 4: But I think that's fair because it tells you, the
Speaker 4: regular consumer, whether you're about to be able to pull
Speaker 4: this off or not. Like, so you might want to
Speaker 4: wear your baseball top with a gene instead, Like let's
Speaker 4: create a cleaner line at the bottom you can't up.
Speaker 3: To Yeah, need for that, No, need for that.
Speaker 1: Stirrups are such a flourish it's like the purely decorative,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like shit with that in there.
Speaker 1: You just need a second pair of socks with like
Speaker 1: a little I think, I mean, I feel like the
Speaker 1: little thong at the bottom. The easiest ones to like
Speaker 1: call out.
Speaker 3: I feel like, just from a fashion sense, are probably
Speaker 3: like Polo and Rugby, you know, because like we think
Speaker 3: of like the rugby shirt as like now has just
Speaker 3: I've just made its way as like a fashion silhouette.
Speaker 3: Polo obviously has like its own like you know, she
Speaker 3: SHEI aesthetic.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like Japanese school uniforms are also like kind
Speaker 3: of iconic. I don't know if they go harder than
Speaker 3: they need to, but it is something that inspires, like
Speaker 3: a lot of other stuff.
Speaker 4: Late nineties early as it was really influencing a ton
Speaker 4: of stuff, at least in America.
Speaker 2: We were seeing everywhere.
Speaker 3: Because Sailor Moon Too is like you know, that was
Speaker 3: that that's just sort of continuing that sort of like
Speaker 3: Japanese school sailor aesthetic or whatever.
Speaker 4: I would also say basketball uniforms, especially if we consider
Speaker 4: like the basketball short and the absolute takeover that that
Speaker 4: had when we were.
Speaker 2: As long as your pants. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh, I used to have these shorts that were criminally long,
Speaker 3: like mid shin, and like I didn't have to sag them,
Speaker 3: they were that fucking long, and I would I used
Speaker 3: to wear another pair of basketball shorts under those in
Speaker 3: case like a game kicked off or like I can't
Speaker 3: bomb these baggy shorts, but I got slightly less baggy
Speaker 3: shorts underneath them. That was definitely, Yeah, my uniform for.
Speaker 1: Real basketball shoe, I said. The baseball hat the basketball
Speaker 1: shoe are the two most cross iconic. Yeah, most iconic
Speaker 1: crossover athletic things. I will say, Hello shirt, No, Hello
Speaker 1: shirts is definitely in there for sure, like a long shot,
Speaker 1: but if you ever get a chance to look up
Speaker 1: the fencing gear. Fencing gear is pretty cool looking.
Speaker 2: It does look cool.
Speaker 4: It's not all practical, It cannot practical at all real
Speaker 4: life in any way, shape or for but.
Speaker 1: It looks like one of those things that you would
Speaker 1: see either like that maybe this is what some of
Speaker 1: the characters and a clockwork orange were wearing. Like it
Speaker 1: has like clockwork orange vibes. And also it looks like
Speaker 1: something you would see a fashion runway, like at fashion Week,
Speaker 1: and you would be like, well, that's impractical, and no
Speaker 1: one's ever gonna I'm never I'm never gonna see someone
Speaker 1: wearing that, But right, it does cut a fine fashionable silhouette.
Speaker 4: We can also get into military stuff. The bomber jacket, Yeah,
Speaker 4: hugely popular post what is it like World War Two?
Speaker 3: World War Yeah, yeah, well there just like the leather
Speaker 3: bomber that's probably right after World War Two. And then
Speaker 3: then then comes like the what is it like the
Speaker 3: m one a jacket or whatever. There is so much
Speaker 3: too that's just taken from like military standard where those
Speaker 3: games like are over shirts. But I think now you're
Speaker 3: seeing more like it's more like you know, like hard
Speaker 3: like more like construction type shit that's becoming more mainstream
Speaker 3: art kind of stuff. And you know, like looking like
Speaker 3: a like a lumberjack, even though you you'd be day trading,
Speaker 3: you know, on your computer all day, but you gotta
Speaker 3: look rugged, like justin Timberlake let them know.
Speaker 1: But I do think eighties NASA a suit probably not
Speaker 1: practical yet, but in the future when it becomes impossible
Speaker 1: to walk outside protection. That where I'm just saying, like
Speaker 1: invest in NASA space suits. There. My kids were astronauts
Speaker 1: one here for Halloween and that you know, very easy
Speaker 1: costume to put on, take off, you know, just like
Speaker 1: helmet and ones. Essentially it looked great like that. That
Speaker 1: was when I first had this thought. I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: those look so cool, like they look great on you guys.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about a terrible uniform. Have guys seen
Speaker 1: the SpaceX uniforms? No?
Speaker 4: Oh, bro, they look bad. They look real bad. They
Speaker 4: look like bad trek. They're like white and.
Speaker 1: Wait is this great?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: This is? This is?
Speaker 1: This is a joke? Man? Oh yeah, this sucks.
Speaker 3: These look like people that die in a movie, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, these suits look like not
Speaker 3: up to whatever the fucking task is.
Speaker 2: This sci fi film had a twelve thousand dollars budget.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, what do you got to Like? I
Speaker 3: got this old jumpsuit from when I was doing painting jobs,
Speaker 3: and I could use that with some like rubber boots
Speaker 3: and my ex girlfriend's motorcycle helmet.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and.
Speaker 4: All you really need is a turtleneck in space, I
Speaker 4: guess because I don't feel like if I got jettisoned
Speaker 4: out of a capsule that I'm surviving very long in
Speaker 4: this thing. I don't know are the because the shirts Okay,
Speaker 4: it looks like a pant and top set, not a
Speaker 4: like one body unform.
Speaker 3: Is going to sweep in through. There is going to
Speaker 3: get in.
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't like it, hideous, guys.
Speaker 4: I can't even begin to tell you how idious uniforms.
Speaker 3: Are right right, it's wild, dude. I don't know they
Speaker 3: these aren't really good uniforms. But again, you know, it
Speaker 3: is what it is. It is what it is, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, Joelle, thank you so much for joining us on
Speaker 1: this episode. Where can people find you and follow you?
Speaker 1: And all that could slush?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Joel many he can follow me all over
Speaker 4: the internet at Joe Monique. That's j O E L
Speaker 4: E M O N I Q you E. I don't
Speaker 4: have enough time to actually find the name of this.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll drop it, I guess and add it to
Speaker 4: the comments. But there is an account on Instagram where
Speaker 4: all they do is they strip the paint off of
Speaker 4: old dressers.
Speaker 2: Now, listen, it sounds.
Speaker 4: Boring as hell, it sounds it's awful, But what's really
Speaker 4: happy is these dresses are dirty and beat up, and
Speaker 4: they're the kind of dressers you'd find on the side
Speaker 4: of the road, and everyone be like, ew, look at
Speaker 4: how tacky and trashy. They just strip and polish it
Speaker 4: and suddenly it's a beautiful work of art that you
Speaker 4: would absolutely.
Speaker 2: Want to have in your home.
Speaker 4: And all of the time I hate buying new furniture
Speaker 4: because everything is built to last you like a max
Speaker 4: of seven years. Now, unless you have crazy money to
Speaker 4: invest in like a solid oak something. The old furniture
Speaker 4: is still kicking around. Like if you put in very
Speaker 4: minimal work, you could have beautiful pieces of art that
Speaker 4: will last you like another fifty years. And I just
Speaker 4: think it's inspire to create something really like this really
Speaker 4: touching story about a woman whose brother died and this
Speaker 4: was like the last thing that she had of his.
Speaker 2: She couldn't really sell it.
Speaker 4: She was like, I really know what to do with this,
Speaker 4: and then the woman was like, just bring it over
Speaker 4: to my house and I'll repair it it picks it up,
Speaker 4: and she didn't. The woman like bought it back from
Speaker 4: her and now she has this beautiful piecea from her
Speaker 4: brother's home in her house and it's restored. It's just
Speaker 4: I just think it's really lovely to make old things
Speaker 4: new again.
