Speaker 4: where they were like our beer is better because it's
Speaker 4: coldon I was like, that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: And yet I now kind of believe that diet coke
Speaker 4: in a can is colder than diet coke in a bottle.
Speaker 4: I have been converted to some drinks just are colder
Speaker 4: and must be colder.
Speaker 2: Not a lot, no PBAs or other microplastics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the can shit is basically health
Speaker 1: food in a Canni can pretty much when I'm drinking
Speaker 1: out of a mini can. What it's saying that people
Speaker 1: is like, I'm my body is a temple and I
Speaker 1: care about what those.
Speaker 2: The Coca Cola I ever actually want is what's in
Speaker 2: a mini can, Like I want like four SIPs and
Speaker 2: then I want it's kind of like I do. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: this is so it's a little bit like me in pornography,

Speaker 2: that's just a yeah, I'm good exactly.
Speaker 1: M spritzing of pornography. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that anyone out there relates to that.
Speaker 2: That's everything in moderation.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. I will kill like six straight mini cans.

Speaker 2: Teenage aka why can't we be friends? Why can't we

Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean on your but your handles are
Speaker 3: like Franny, do you prefer Franny.

Speaker 2: Franny is definitely preferable to fran. But it's okay. I
Speaker 2: let people get it. It's all good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3: But it is kind of wild when people do just
Speaker 3: hit others with the shortening, shortened name, like out of nowhere,
Speaker 3: without the familiarity. I do that a lot, actually, and
Speaker 3: then I'm like, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just
Speaker 3: change your name because I thought it'd be Gregory. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you go full you take it to the logical extension. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: all the way. Okay, Bart Simpson what Sorry, it's thought
Speaker 3: it'd be cool to call you that.
Speaker 1: My bad. How are you doing, Francesca.
Speaker 2: I'm fine, uh you know, yeah, a little nervous for
Speaker 2: the election. I'm just like, I'm again not trying to
Speaker 2: I'm getting twenty sixteen vibes, and I'm trying to shirk
Speaker 2: those vibes.
Speaker 1: I don't want.
Speaker 2: I think in the face of insurmountable stupidity from the right,
Speaker 2: there is I like to think this country is better,
Speaker 2: but I've always been I've been disappointed before. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm otherwise pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, yeah, Okay. The fear is on me. I've
Speaker 1: been said for about a week now, I'm like, this
Speaker 1: feels like twenty sixteen again for some reason to may
Speaker 1: like there's just subtle things.
Speaker 3: There's just a lot of like spiking the football like
Speaker 3: on the ten yard line kind of new news headlines
Speaker 3: I see where it's like data scientist finds Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: has sixty six electoral vote.
Speaker 1: Advantage, and you're like, I don't give a shit.
Speaker 3: It ain't this ain't election day, Like, don't put that
Speaker 3: shit in the air.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And there's all kinds of ways I
Speaker 2: was talking about on the Situation Room that the you know,
Speaker 2: the Republicans are already trying to like make sure that
Speaker 2: you know, twenty twenty, which was an embarrassing attempt at
Speaker 2: a steal, is now sort of you know, a more
Speaker 2: just a more respectable power grab, you know, a lah
Speaker 2: two thousand. So oh yeah, that's that's making me nervous
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: I think was that episode called start the Steal, Start
Speaker 3: the Steel. Yeah, yes, yes, I recall that. I recall
Speaker 3: that people tune into the.
Speaker 1: Good Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyways, I have brunch reservations for
Speaker 1: the day after the election. You guys, one way or another,
Speaker 1: we are going to have and laugh anyways. All right, well,
Speaker 1: it's great to have you here. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better at the moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things
Speaker 1: that we're talking about today. We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: the October surprise in quotes, Jack Smith dropping the big
Speaker 1: chunk o documents, the indicting documents, big dumps, redacted, taking
Speaker 1: a big dump on the news cycle, a lot of
Speaker 1: just filling in the blanks of stuff we already knew.
Speaker 1: Not sure if it's gonna register with anyone who is
Speaker 1: planning on voting, but it is worth looking at as
Speaker 1: a kind of preview of what this election might look like,
Speaker 1: at the very least if if the Republicans lose. We're
Speaker 1: gonna check back in with our good old friend Tim Kaine,
Speaker 1: remember him speaking of We're just gonna say, remember him,
Speaker 1: and then look at the person he's running against, who
Speaker 1: is a character who I don't know how I had
Speaker 1: missed him up to this point. He's a he's a blast.
Speaker 1: And ask the question on everyone's mind, what the fuck
Speaker 1: is going on with music biopics? Right? Now yeah, all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Francesca, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2: Yes, this is uh sad, but all of my search
Speaker 2: history has to do with my child, of course, and.
Speaker 1: So why is that sad?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's just like it's all like, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll do kill baby, you know, like what baby? Yeah,
Speaker 2: why baby, baby baby exactly like why baby who is
Speaker 2: one year and three hundred and sixty two days old.
Speaker 2: My kid is about to turn two, is acting in
Speaker 2: one way, thank you. But so it's funny to like
Speaker 2: you're like they're starting to be human now, you know,
Speaker 2: and there's like a weird like as a parent, you're like,
Speaker 2: a what point do they become human? Because they're just
Speaker 2: kind of like alien creatures for I would almost say
Speaker 2: like a year, and you don't know how their body
Speaker 2: reacts to normal things, like you know, like a big
Speaker 2: gulp of mountain dew or whatever. But like so like
Speaker 2: for me, I'm like, she's got curly she's got curly hair,
Speaker 2: like there's no way around this. Her dad is very
Speaker 2: very curly hair. And I was like, I'm like maybe
Speaker 2: it's like kind of like, you know, I've got I
Speaker 2: mean like I'm got like Italian Chinese hair and like,
Speaker 2: not to brag, but they make a lot of wigs
Speaker 2: out of our hair. I've sold my entire No, I haven't, but.
Speaker 1: You've got that Italian.
Speaker 2: Hair, got the Italian hair, and so she Anyway, the
Speaker 2: point is this, I'm like, when can babies use conditioner?
Speaker 2: Like when do we start doing I'm a big product bitch,
Speaker 2: Like I love product. I know it's bad for us generally,
Speaker 2: but you know it's like if they have enough, you know,
Speaker 2: write labels on the bottle, I'll be like, this is fine.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, what is the best conditioner for kids?
Speaker 2: Gentle and effective? And I'm just like, what is you know,
Speaker 2: looking into all this shit and it's it's like it's
Speaker 2: hard and all the things that are marketed at parents
Speaker 2: and it's all bullshit.
Speaker 1: Are babies curls popping?
Speaker 2: No kind of She's very bald. She is also quite bald,
Speaker 2: So it's like they're tough and they're adorable. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: i want even as a baby, I'm like, let's give
Speaker 2: her the dignity of figuring out her haircare. Routine so
Speaker 2: that she doesn't isn't just like a like kind of
Speaker 2: a frizzy mess, you know, and we're like whatever. My mom,
Speaker 2: when I was a child, decided to just do straight
Speaker 2: bowl cuts on myself and my brother because why do
Speaker 2: any not? Like why not? And I feel like I
Speaker 2: have trauma from just being like like a straight straight across,
Speaker 2: straight across. I was misgendered when I was little, which
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, someone should have really you know,
Speaker 2: broken down some like Judith Butler to me at that
Speaker 2: age and been like, you know, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, little boy, you know, like
Speaker 2: that that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is two years old too young to use a
Speaker 1: straight iron? Have you looked into that? I feel like
Speaker 1: there's probably.
Speaker 2: Yes, I would love because I have a flat iron
Speaker 2: and that I use ironically to make my hair curly.
Speaker 2: This is all boring. The point is this, Yes, i'd
Speaker 2: be very funny to just try to straighten.
Speaker 3: Your last Google search, Okay, to relax baby's hair.
Speaker 2: Effectively?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? Yeah, maybe too young for a conk I don't.
Speaker 2: Like yeah yeah yeah, and like a little bit like
Speaker 2: maybe too young for latist, you know, because I feel
Speaker 2: like she could really yeah.
Speaker 1: Just like make the eyelashes pot yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Or also like she's gonna have a unibrow. You know,
Speaker 2: I see it coming in. I have a unibrow. My
Speaker 2: husband has unibrow. Like it's it's like that is the
Speaker 2: Italian in me, it's the Ukrainian Jew and him can't
Speaker 2: Like what if we just lasi and don't tell soul?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's so fucked up.
Speaker 2: I'm getting canceled a million ways.
Speaker 1: On this discordio. Yeah, yeah, no, it already happened. Francisco.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? I was at a.
Speaker 2: Show, a stand up show the other night, and a
Speaker 2: comic made reference to Chuck E Cheese because they have kids,
Speaker 2: and nobody in the audience had kids, uh, because they
Speaker 2: were all like young and whatever and like and and
Speaker 2: I want to tell you guys, Chuck E Cheese is underrated.
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese is great, Chuck E Cheese is wonderful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm glad it still exists. There need to be more
Speaker 2: places for kids. Obviously we've destroyed all toy stores. It is,
Speaker 2: as you know, one of the comics said, it's like
Speaker 2: a casino for children, and there's a jump part and
Speaker 2: it's adorable and it's like fairly affordable. It's air condition Yeah,
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese is really terrifying, the sort of animatronic
Speaker 2: dude that comes out if you get if you do
Speaker 2: get one, but like it's great. Yes, there's germs everywhere,
Speaker 2: but like you need a place where they can just
Speaker 2: you know, where a kid can be a kid, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Yeah, which I think is their logo,
Speaker 2: their slogan, or it used to be. I don't know
Speaker 2: what it is now, but Chuck Entertainment Cheese is a
Speaker 2: good spot and I and I support it. I feel
Speaker 2: like it's like the working man's like Charmed Kids playhouse
Speaker 2: that costs two thousand dollars to rent.
Speaker 1: You know, you do put the full name on people.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Charles Entertainment Cheese. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: is a legal name.
Speaker 3: Do you remember like the ones that were kind of
Speaker 3: trying to be like Chuck E Cheese, like Pistol You
Speaker 3: ever go to Pistol Pizza Pizza?
Speaker 1: No, that's how it was coming.
Speaker 2: Where was that Philly?
Speaker 1: There was? Now there's one in the valley.
Speaker 3: I remember going to and it was just kind of
Speaker 3: like one of those it's like we got a we
Speaker 3: got freaky robots and shit too, it's not chucky cheese
Speaker 3: pistol piets.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Where I did go though, in the in the in
Speaker 2: the peninsula in California was Rocky and Bullwinkles. Do you
Speaker 2: guys ever remember that?
Speaker 1: No? Oh fun yo, oh wow, I have that that
Speaker 1: place in a minute.
Speaker 2: They were like animatronic Bullwinkle and Rocky. It was so
Speaker 2: it was good.
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's always like it's just pizza arcade, maybe
Speaker 2: a jump house. Hell yeah, I love it, got it all.
Speaker 1: I like the pistol Petez was doing like kind of
Speaker 1: committing infringement on two from two angles because there's a
Speaker 1: famous basketball player named Pistol Pete. Yep, like his nickname
Speaker 1: was Pistol Pete. And then also they're ripping off chuck
Speaker 1: E cheeses, and they were like maybe it'll be like
Speaker 1: so so much infringement that they're just like if you.
Speaker 2: Look a pistol Pete, it's men's underwear. What pistol Pete,
Speaker 2: it's all about the field. Oh wow, Oh there's that
Speaker 2: is sheer all right? And I've seen a penis Okay, wow.

Speaker 3: not coming to play if you're rocking, Yo.
Speaker 1: We have to share with the viewer.

Speaker 3: the shaft.
Speaker 2: Yo, I really like that. These are hot. These are hot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of I got a full soldier boy
Speaker 1: from Miles. Yeah, exactly. I was looking at that and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, this.
Speaker 2: Is yeah, Okay, anyway, should we go to my overeating
Speaker 2: moving on?
Speaker 1: Nah? Sorry, I just I just got.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna miss out on this, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we've all.
Speaker 2: Seen really jacked man lubed up in a sheer song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is definitely like you know you
Speaker 3: you see you see this kind of stuff out there,
Speaker 3: pride when you you're showing off that hard body and
Speaker 3: letting them know what you're working with.
Speaker 2: But see, yeah, the the pride. Yeah, I've seen more
Speaker 2: of like god, what is the fair in San Francisco?
Speaker 1: That's a oh fullsome Street, fullsome Street fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite is the is like in Pride or
Speaker 2: fullsome Street, Full some Street. It's definitely more about like
Speaker 2: you know, a BDSM and whatnot. But like when it's
Speaker 2: Pride and there's someone who doesn't have a great body,
Speaker 2: but they are a newdist and it's just like it
Speaker 2: is the it's a call for like the con shell
Speaker 2: rings out and every guy who just wants to be
Speaker 2: nake nack, like just let it hang out on a
Speaker 2: corner is just like they're just standing. They're just like,
Speaker 2: this is my nick, look at it. I'm here and
Speaker 2: it's like, here's my little like seventy two year old
Speaker 2: flat ass.
Speaker 1: I got podcast or ass podcasts.
Speaker 2: Very much podass, yes check. Just like imagine what he's
Speaker 2: gonna be like when he's older.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, give me and you should let people know
Speaker 1: some retirement.
Speaker 2: This ass has made some money. Okay, we've started podcast
Speaker 2: empires with this booty.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Yeah. Actually, like for a minute, from
Speaker 1: from my tailbone, it goes in from there. That's kind
Speaker 1: of a the tailbone is actually the furthest out.
Speaker 2: Something else that's underrated is a wedge, A wedge pillow.
Speaker 2: I don't have one actually, but you should sit on
Speaker 2: a wedge. It really makes you know, makes you sort
Speaker 2: of like pelvic tilt. Yes, get your pelvic tilt going
Speaker 2: so your lumbar's correct, and you know, get your foot
Speaker 2: pep stool or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm doing it right now. What Francesca is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Okay, So I come from like activist culture. I come from.
Speaker 2: I used to be a you know, anti war activist,
Speaker 2: global justice activist, and we sort of you know, pioneered
Speaker 2: a lot of this, like a consensus decision making speaking
Speaker 2: of body language, body language around consensus decision making, which
Speaker 2: is things like you know, instead of clapping, you twinkle
Speaker 2: or you snap. Right, if you have a direct response
Speaker 2: to somebody, you do this. If you have a process point,
Speaker 2: you do like the the Illuminati Illuminati sign the Jovah.
Speaker 1: What is it this delta delta.
Speaker 2: Or your delta. This is a process point, meaning this
Speaker 2: conversation is like it's like out of order or whatnot. Anyway,
Speaker 2: all that's fine and good for doing like organizing an
Speaker 2: activism that you want to do, like direct democracy and
Speaker 2: all this, but the snapping has permeated into broader culture
Speaker 2: and snapping has also permeated into stand up audiences. And
Speaker 2: when I go and try to do joke jokes to
Speaker 2: make the left laugh and I am greeded by a snap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me.
Speaker 2: Want to die, and please do not do it. No
Speaker 2: it It's like, this is not slam poetry. This is
Speaker 2: not like it's okay to class you if you clap,
Speaker 2: it's okay, it's okay to laugh, just don't snap. I
Speaker 2: can't imagine like, and it's very gen Z and I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but it's so gen Z and I can't does gen
Speaker 2: Z like look at content on their phone and are
Speaker 2: just like like snap at that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Because sometimes when you're in live audiences, you get sort
Speaker 2: of like dead eyed, you know the face of someone
Speaker 2: who's like scroll, I'm gonna scroll the next joke kind
Speaker 2: of shit. And again I'm not saying I don't crush,
Speaker 2: because I crush, but some audiences are just like much
Speaker 2: more just fucking like, I don't know where you came from.
Speaker 2: I don't know if like I yes, it's okay, it's
Speaker 2: not like it's not You're not going to be canceled
Speaker 2: for laughing, you know what I mean? And so the
Speaker 2: snapping is so overrated. I'm sorry, I'm done with it.
Speaker 2: I'm done with the snapping. Say that's hilarious, that's true totally,
Speaker 2: but like the snapping and especially instead of laughing or
Speaker 2: instead of clapping, is makes me feel like I just
Speaker 2: read a bad poem to you.
Speaker 3: Then like a joke you've been workshopping. They're like, right,
Speaker 3: you know that's right.
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, that's all I have to say
Speaker 1: about that. Overrated is yeah all day. Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: wonder and this is this is like morning Zoo talk radio.
Speaker 2: Just what's wrong with these kids?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm from, like from a fifty year old.
Speaker 1: But like, is it because they're used to like consuming
Speaker 1: content quietly and so they're just you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like they're they're on the bus or something, and so
Speaker 1: they don't want people, they don't want to laugh out loud.
Speaker 1: I think that's so their wiring has been shifted to
Speaker 1: just like quietly appreciate what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Or I wonder if you're like getting everything like off
Speaker 3: an iPad too, Like like you see so many kids
Speaker 3: just with headphones on and they're kind of just in
Speaker 3: this very like it's just me and this thing happening,
Speaker 3: and you don't know if they're having a good time.
Speaker 3: I always wonder that about kids when I see them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, are you having a good time when you're
Speaker 2: watching you know whatever, the third season of the Bear,
Speaker 2: fourth season, whatever season?
Speaker 3: So always a great time whatever I'm watching. You're just
Speaker 3: like fat loud. Yeah, yeah, I gotta wear.
Speaker 1: It on my face. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm always I think I'm just generally pretty.
Speaker 3: I have big reactions all the time. So I think
Speaker 3: it's a harder thought experiment for me to be like
Speaker 3: I'm at a comedy show because also, like in comedy,
Speaker 3: you know, you want to be generous with your laughter,
Speaker 3: and you want to be generous with the energy that
Speaker 3: you're putting out to the performer, because that's the fucking
Speaker 3: juice game.
Speaker 1: Yes, now is the performance?
Speaker 3: Yes, So I can totally see like the frustration in
Speaker 3: that is like, no, like I'm gonna make you laugh,
Speaker 3: but y'all have to fucking laugh.
Speaker 1: So I go, okay, yeah we're vibing. Here we go.
Speaker 2: I am a big time like I border I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't tackle, but I borderline that when I'm an
Speaker 2: audience member of a show, because I know, first of all,
Speaker 2: I know what it's like on the other side. But
Speaker 2: also that's just how I roll, because I get social
Speaker 2: cues and I'm like, and there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: who are like, hm, like it's okay for me to
Speaker 2: just sit here quietly, silently, not even smiling, And you're
Speaker 2: just like, I don't understand you.
Speaker 1: I don't. Why don't withhold your laughter?
Speaker 3: If anything? Laugh at shit? You wouldn't normally laugh at you.
Speaker 3: It'll just feel even if you don't, it'll feel better. Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a reason why they say laughter is a form
Speaker 3: of vents.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Those of us who struggle with eye contact feel attacked
Speaker 1: right now, but I do. You can keep your head
Speaker 1: down and I will try harder. Yeah, on table.
Speaker 2: You struggle with eye contact, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've always struggled with eye contact for some reason, just
Speaker 1: in person eye contact.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a bit of a shy guy, a bit
Speaker 3: of a shy boy.
Speaker 2: You so you you don't like to do the like,
Speaker 2: let's stare into each other's eyes for like three minutes
Speaker 2: and just see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right, conversationally hate it. But if I want
Speaker 3: to create an awkward moment. I'm like, hey, let's talk
Speaker 3: eyes for three straight minutes.
Speaker 1: The second the silence, this is the second the silence
Speaker 1: descends over that when you go right in for the
Speaker 1: contact and just start moving in slowly.
Speaker 3: I like to.
Speaker 2: I like to look at people when they're not looking
Speaker 2: at me, I think, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1: I like to. That's right, Yeah, it's called being a
Speaker 1: creep snooper. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to talk about October. It's October, baby,
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. And this is
Speaker 1: the time of year where any major Ish news story
Speaker 1: involving the presidential election will be termed the October Surprise.
Speaker 1: And that goes for Jack Smith dropping a bunch of
Speaker 1: documents and evidence for the case he is building to
Speaker 1: suggest that Donald Trump did a bad when he tried
Speaker 1: to overturn the twenty twenty election, and that it doesn't
Speaker 1: count as official police business when you're just trying to
Speaker 1: do crimes NonStop, openly, with full knowledge that what you're
Speaker 1: trying to do is crimes. And this does tie into
Speaker 1: I think the only two takeaways I've seen from the
Speaker 1: VP debate that seemed to be like having any traction
Speaker 1: are JD Vance saying the roles where you weren't going
Speaker 1: to fact check, which is so good, amazing moment, but
Speaker 1: also his refusal to admit that Donald Trump lost the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election and.
Speaker 2: Him, Tim Walls, you're just doing his little whoa oh ye.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Guys. Now that's one where I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to disagree with you on. I'm gonna have to disagree
Speaker 1: with your police work on that one. There. Hold on, guy,
Speaker 1: what'd you just say you're a good cop. You're not.
Speaker 2: You're not one of the bad apples. No, he is
Speaker 2: literally a bad apple. What are you doing, Tim.
Speaker 1: Wall, stop it stopping stop bad guy.
Speaker 2: He's the bad guy.
Speaker 1: But uh, and then implying that he would have helped
Speaker 1: for the alternative electors. Yesterday he told one of the
Speaker 1: comedians from The Good Liars that he thinks Trump won
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. Is that what it's called? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Good Liars, And also that I feel bad for
Speaker 1: you man, and I just this is a good this
Speaker 1: is a good Vance little piece of Vance Vance Lore
Speaker 1: Vance being Vance, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Who won the twenty twenty launch could you just answer,
Speaker 3: did Donald Trump win yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: He did win?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: So will you will you can see?
Speaker 3: Will you can see that.
Speaker 1: If your opponent gets your opponent gets more votes, will
Speaker 1: you concede? I really feel bad for you, man.
Speaker 5: I just want to know if your if your opponent
Speaker 5: gets more votes, will you concede?
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah? Yeah, cool? Cool? Just do that. Who's
Speaker 1: laughing really hard when he says I feel bad for
Speaker 1: you man? Is that jd Vance laughing?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, he loves in his own jokes all the time.
Speaker 2: That's his that's his whole thing.
Speaker 1: I really feel bad for you, man, Like all of
Speaker 1: his handlers are like, he just said the thing that
Speaker 1: we didn't want him to say.
Speaker 2: I so yeah that I love. That's Jason Selvig from
Speaker 2: the Good Liers I think his name is, and I love.
Speaker 2: Here's my thought about trolling MAGA. And I know it's
Speaker 2: been it has been done by other people, but you
Speaker 2: have to be a like at least six foot two
Speaker 2: white guy who looks very like super waspy, because like
Speaker 2: allowing Jason to like continue and follow them like a
Speaker 2: woman would never person of color never, like you just
Speaker 2: cannot get you exactly you would get bosses out, you
Speaker 2: would get like put in a headlock at that point.
Speaker 2: So it just I love that, I mean, and and
Speaker 2: like I'm a big fan of Walter Masterson, Like I
Speaker 2: just love how these guys are able to you know,
Speaker 2: use that and be like I just kind of look
Speaker 2: like I'm with you, and you don't know me well
Speaker 2: enough to know that I'm like clowning on you. So
Speaker 2: but yes, of course, yes you did. It's the simplest question.
Speaker 2: They don't even have a line on this. Forget abortion rights.
Speaker 2: They don't have a ligne on whether or not Trump
Speaker 2: won the twenty twenty election. He beat me by a whisker, right, wait,
Speaker 2: so he beat you?
Speaker 1: Uh shit, I mean it may be that whisker being legally,
Speaker 1: but we smoke bomb, smoke bomb.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this this documents that Judge Chutkin sort of
Speaker 3: released in terms of like Jack Smith's you know, case
Speaker 3: against Donald Trump or the United States' case against Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: Like you just kind of realized, like, like, man, the
Speaker 3: fucking Supreme Court is so fucked up because they put
Speaker 3: all this all these weird standards now because Jack Smith
Speaker 3: essentially had you know, had a retool the entire case
Speaker 3: to be like, Okay, what's official act? What are acts
Speaker 3: that are done as a private citizen? How do they overlap?
Speaker 3: Do they overlap at all? And trying to create this
Speaker 3: like labyrinthine structure to try and be like and he
Speaker 3: can't do anything to Trump. But when you start reading it,
Speaker 3: you're like, you'd have to be truly like off the deep,
Speaker 3: off the shits to say like, oh, yeah, this is
Speaker 3: all very normal, like yeah, half of because a lot
Speaker 3: of this stuff in it, it wasn't necessarily new, but
Speaker 3: there is just a little bit added texture. I think
Speaker 3: when you see some of the quotes and some of
Speaker 3: the anecdotes that kind of were the behind the scenes
Speaker 3: of it all, and like and seeing that, you're like
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, due, they're gonna they're you know, like in
Speaker 3: Jurassic Park, like the raptors they figured out defenses and
Speaker 3: then so for the second go around, they're going to
Speaker 3: be a little bit more effective.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Yeah, that's what's scary about
Speaker 1: what you see here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean I think that the real thing,
Speaker 2: you know, I saw Elie Mestaal, you know who writes
Speaker 2: for the Nation reports on the courts, basically is like
Speaker 2: none of it really matters, you know, And and yes,
Speaker 2: we were all sort of scratching your head, like house Tanya, chut,
Speaker 2: can getta get around this, this presidential immunity that the
Speaker 2: Supreme hand picked Supreme Court just gave him. How do
Speaker 2: you get around like the king saying that everything is official.
Speaker 2: And they were like, oh, he was a candidate. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: that makes sense. I guess you can argue that. Sure,
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that that they're at least putting it
Speaker 2: back up again. And and this is moving forward. But
Speaker 2: none of this is going to be decided before the election, right,
Speaker 2: none of it, not even the you know, sentencing from
Speaker 2: Judge Juan marshan in in the financial like the falsifying
Speaker 2: business ocke of the right right, so that the fraud
Speaker 2: case is not even gonna be settled, so no accountability,
Speaker 2: Like it doesn't actually fun.
Speaker 1: If he wins, it's gonna go poof.
Speaker 2: It's all gonna go poof, all of it. We've made
Speaker 2: sure it's all going to go poof. My overrated was
Speaker 2: gonna be the American justice system, the judicial system, it
Speaker 2: is so fucked and oh my god, to icing on
Speaker 2: the the cherry on top would be should somehow there'd
Speaker 2: be some function in one of these swing states, and
Speaker 2: heaven forbid, it gets elevated to the courts. Then the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's like, thank you, we'll take that, and you know,
Speaker 2: and they will decide like it's just perfect. They set
Speaker 2: them up, Andy knock them down. So it's just like,
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're here. But guys, greatest.
Speaker 1: Democracy on Earth, greatest democracy on yeah, greatest democracy. It
Speaker 1: all works out. The table of the people has always
Speaker 1: been acted by the politicians. Absolutely, Yeah, I did like
Speaker 1: the moments where Trump is obviously like not does not
Speaker 1: believe his own bullshit. Like there's a part where he
Speaker 1: mutes his phone while he's on with Sidney Palell and
Speaker 1: like calls her crazy to the other people in the
Speaker 1: room and says like she's like makes reference to Star
Speaker 1: trek as being like how fantastical. The arguments are that
Speaker 1: she's presenting like he knows, you know, and yeah, he knows.
Speaker 1: There's other parts where he's like, yeah, whether you win
Speaker 1: or lose, you have to fight like hell, which like
Speaker 1: sounds like a like a football coach, you know, slogan
Speaker 1: that like you could get behind but like that is
Speaker 1: the end of the mock.
Speaker 2: This is this is right out of Roger Stone's mouth.
Speaker 2: This is Roger Stone Steve Bannon stuff. You know, those
Speaker 2: are the people who are truly in his ear, and
Speaker 2: those are the people who know and they're the people
Speaker 2: who helped January six happen. Steve Bannon's in prison right
Speaker 2: now because he refused to testify about January sixth, right
Speaker 2: like like, oh, I just I'm keep pretending like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, you know, but yeah, I love I love
Speaker 2: the It doesn't matter if I won or lost. Like
Speaker 2: that's those are details, Yeah, exactly. I think that was
Speaker 2: another part of this of the documents, like me having
Speaker 2: more delegates is a detail to what we're trying to
Speaker 2: do here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess the other thing too, is
Speaker 3: like when you see like the sort of the quotes
Speaker 3: about it is like, yeah, like if they're talking about
Speaker 3: like just let them riot at the capitol to keep
Speaker 3: the chaos up and you know, the stuff that we
Speaker 3: all like. I think in Jack Smith's documents, you also
Speaker 3: see him talk about how they were purposely having confrontations
Speaker 3: outside of ballot centers to create the like the optics
Speaker 3: that something was afoot and people weren't allowed to be
Speaker 3: account like a be weren't being held accountable because of that.
Speaker 3: And you look at sort of what they're planning, you
Speaker 3: can already sort of see like, oh, they this whole
Speaker 3: thing is going to be as much about creat as
Speaker 3: many optic opportunities for people to be like, oh, what happened there?
Speaker 3: What happened there? And like to your point about any
Speaker 3: kind of fuck are you going down? I almost I
Speaker 3: feel like it's almost certain that they are going to
Speaker 3: manufacture some kind of fucking fake elector person, someone that
Speaker 3: they could pay to be like you know, forge ballots
Speaker 3: or whatever to open the doors to this kind of
Speaker 3: election denialism that they that's the only way they're going
Speaker 3: to win, I think, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all about whether state election boards will
Speaker 2: certify the results, and if they won't, there will be
Speaker 2: a lot of legal battles. I think. You know, in
Speaker 2: Georgia there's already a legal battle again from Democrats. They're
Speaker 2: suing over the hand count that Republicans have instituted at
Speaker 2: the last minute, which completely throws that election into the fray.
Speaker 2: And it's so cumbersome. They're not training people it's unclear
Speaker 2: how that would happen. The human error in hand counting
Speaker 2: is really huge, So like, yeah, it's all about these
Speaker 2: state election boards and like whether or not I think yeah,
Speaker 2: and then it it all just go to the courts
Speaker 2: yet again. But it's interesting. Also now I don't want
Speaker 2: to politicize Hurricane Helene. Hurricane Helen is politicized anyway. Let's
Speaker 2: just be real. It's climate change, just like every mass
Speaker 2: shooting is politicized and gun control terms. But it is
Speaker 2: interesting like these states that Trump is like, h the
Speaker 2: Democrats are deliberately not trying to give you aid and
Speaker 2: they hate you. But you are seeing like this level
Speaker 2: of coordination where Joe Biden is like all the rescue
Speaker 2: efforts will be one hundred percent paid for by the
Speaker 2: federal government. We've called these governors multiple times, you know,
Speaker 2: and people are really I don't know, I'm just like
Speaker 2: it is interesting now when these are the same states
Speaker 2: that will be leaned on by the Trump campaign are
Speaker 2: now being you know, are seeing actually un effective although
Speaker 2: genocidal Biden administration really like work with them and like
Speaker 2: this is normalcye that other thing you're about to be
Speaker 2: asked to do in a month. Not normalcy, do you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? So I'm wondering, like this is
Speaker 2: me maybe carkening to the Republicans better Angels, but it
Speaker 2: is just a sort of interesting moment, given the hurricane
Speaker 2: and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, anyway, but the documents, yes.
Speaker 1: Seems good. It seems like the one takeaway I think
Speaker 1: we can come away with is that they were ultimate
Speaker 1: like their main goal was to subvert the election openly.
Speaker 1: They were doing that. We will never have like a
Speaker 1: normal election again, whether he wins or not. Right, Like,
Speaker 1: this is fucked permanently. I think I feel like we're
Speaker 1: not prepared for how fucked twenty twenty four is going
Speaker 1: to be that we being like I just don't think
Speaker 1: like legally, I don't know. I've heard like I've heard
Speaker 1: people say that, well, the Georgia thing is actually not
Speaker 1: like no legally serious like that they'll be able to
Speaker 1: knock that the hand count thing down. But like nobody
Speaker 1: saw that Supreme Court case like decision coming where they
Speaker 1: were just like no, Trump's basically the king. Baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're I mean, we're all here.
Speaker 3: I think we suspected it though, because you're like, these
Speaker 3: are all flunkies that they have in there, So I
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to come out and be.
Speaker 1: Like, no, actually start the trial now for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: God go off, y'all. Yeah, I mean's just seems to
Speaker 1: be always worst case when it comes to the judicial branch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what remarked Trump saying, we'll like Mike Pence's
Speaker 2: life is in danger. So yeah, and this is like
Speaker 2: it was sort of couched a lot of niceties. But yeah,
Speaker 2: when Tim Wall said I'm concerned about why Mike Pence
Speaker 2: is not on the stage tonight, he could have gone
Speaker 2: a lot harder as so, like, I'm concerned about where
Speaker 2: your neck is going to become January, my guy.
Speaker 1: You know, like you know, we're all worried about you, JD.
Speaker 2: We're always worried about you, JD. And you know your
Speaker 2: skincare routine and whether that's when you get imprisoned by
Speaker 2: the mobs, which they obviously it is different because Biden
Speaker 2: is in office, and if only Biden could crime the
Speaker 2: way the Supreme Court has allowed him to crime, but
Speaker 2: in but crime for good stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that'd be just cheat the way they're claiming
Speaker 1: you cheat.
Speaker 2: You know, yes, but Biden, Biden, you know, it'd be
Speaker 2: very funny. This is just me playing. It'd be very
Speaker 2: funny if there was some sort of crisis in democracy
Speaker 2: and like we just get like six more months of
Speaker 2: Biden and Biden's like, yes, just what I wanted. I
Speaker 2: can do the job. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But then they start, They're gonna they're gonna roll his
Speaker 3: ass out looking like Jimmy Carter pretty soon, and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be like.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a new player in the political realm that
Speaker 1: I just want to introduce our listeners, our viewers to
Speaker 1: or not from Virginia who are probably well aware of
Speaker 1: this person. Yeah, yeah, but this is the person running
Speaker 1: against Tim Kaine. Hillary VP candidate Tim Kane.
Speaker 3: The one that speaks Spanish. You know, we were all
Speaker 3: impressed by his Bible Baby Hills.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We were like oh that. We're like,
Speaker 1: Hilary found a Spanish speaking white man. Here we go.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a rap.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so Tim Kain's running for election this year
Speaker 3: and again this guy he's running against hung how is
Speaker 3: someone who is just so dumb in that special Maga
Speaker 3: kind of way, that Gunning Krueger kind of way where
Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, man, I think I just got to
Speaker 3: say stuff, and like, you look like I think you're
Speaker 3: a politician. He's a retired Navy captain, and not only
Speaker 3: is he an alpha male, but he is also ignorant
Speaker 3: as a hell.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: One of the first clips that I think caught my
Speaker 3: attention I don't think we talked about on the show
Speaker 3: was when he said that witches were taking over California
Speaker 3: as a way to like prove his christ cred amongst
Speaker 3: the voters of Virginia. But now that we're at the
Speaker 3: business end of the election campaign or the campaign season,
Speaker 3: we got to see him in a debate against Kane and.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, wow, wow wow wow.
Speaker 3: When you have to answer questions out loud, sir, sir,
Speaker 3: what are you saying? So here he is basically going
Speaker 3: off on how like DEI is gonna lead to drag
Speaker 3: queens fighting on the front lines of our forever wars
Speaker 3: or something. But I don't want to mess up his words.
Speaker 3: Let me just let you you take it away.
Speaker 5: With when you're using a you know, drag queen to
Speaker 5: recruit for the Navy, that's not the people we want. Look,
Speaker 5: what we need is alpha males and alpha females who
Speaker 5: are gonna rip out their own guts, eat them and
Speaker 5: ask for seconds. That those are young men and women
Speaker 5: that are gonna win wars.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, okay, yeah, so eat them and ask for seconds.
Speaker 2: Alpha females. There's a lot happening here.
Speaker 3: It's just so wild again because his whole thing is like,
Speaker 3: I'm an I'm a Navy I'm a retired Navy captain.
Speaker 1: I know what it takes. You have to look.
Speaker 3: If y'all don't know how to self eviscerate, don't even
Speaker 3: bother enlisting, okay, because we don't want you.
Speaker 1: We don't want you, and so.
Speaker 3: On top of like being an authority on that topic,
Speaker 3: he's also a bit of a policy wonk, just in
Speaker 3: my estimation, and by wonk, I mean he has no
Speaker 3: idea what the fuck he is.
Speaker 1: Talking about on any level. And here he is again
Speaker 1: the sound of his head hitting a hollow block.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is him with his take on Kamala's you know,
Speaker 3: and like this has been a Biden proposal to about
Speaker 3: you know, taxing unrealized gains. And this is also fantastic
Speaker 3: demonstration of his lack of knowledge on anything. He starts
Speaker 3: off by doing a thing as like we're taking better
Speaker 3: care of like immigrants.
Speaker 1: Shame on us.
Speaker 3: That was sort of like his lead into this next
Speaker 3: thing about taxation.
Speaker 5: A lot of these Americans they're homeless right now due
Speaker 5: to the Hurricane Helene, and we need to put them
Speaker 5: into the hotels and getting room service instead of giving
Speaker 5: it to illegal aliens. And the fear with what Kamala
Speaker 5: Harris wants to do with unrealized gains is if my
Speaker 5: house goes up in Zillow, you know, it's just go
Speaker 5: up in Zillo, but then I don't have that money
Speaker 5: on pocket and she wants to tax that. And that's
Speaker 5: exactly what's going on right now. Is you know, one
Speaker 5: of the great things about being an American is the freedom.
Speaker 5: And the second thing is ownership. Okay, a lot of
Speaker 5: countries don't allow you have.
Speaker 1: To own the lands.
Speaker 5: And what they're doing right now is there they want
Speaker 5: to push out of ownership of your home and so
Speaker 5: only corporations and and very rich people can buy it.
Speaker 2: And tried though like like this is I I like
Speaker 2: identify with this really fervently because this is me when
Speaker 2: I like know a little bit about a little bit
Speaker 2: of nothing about something that I just kind of bounce around.
Speaker 2: We've all been there, you know, the zillo and it's
Speaker 2: not and then you don't have the money in your pocket.
Speaker 2: And then they she just wants to give them money
Speaker 2: to corporations, and it's.
Speaker 3: Like we need and like we need room service, not
Speaker 3: room service for immigrants, you know in the hotels, Like okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: my zillow went up, so now I got all these
Speaker 3: capital gains or some shit like again for people that
Speaker 3: need a refresher, right, this would only apply to people
Speaker 3: that are worth north of one hundred million dollars in
Speaker 3: se okay, So, but he is doing a great job
Speaker 3: of tapping into that fear that like capitalists like to put,
Speaker 3: like the wealthy like like to put in people's minds
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 1: But what if I become a billionaire, Well, then that's right,
Speaker 1: surely I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be taxed on capital gains if
Speaker 3: I'm worth over one hundred million dollars. And it's like
Speaker 3: this whole thing, my zillo went up, and then I
Speaker 3: don't see that money, and we're talking about shit like
Speaker 3: Elon Musk's like Tesla stock going up twenty billion dollars
Speaker 3: and then be like yeah, sorry, we're we're taking we're
Speaker 3: taking a bite out of that, Like that's that's the
Speaker 3: kind of shit we're talking about, not the person.
Speaker 1: This is the same.
Speaker 3: There's like sort of it's just as absurd as when
Speaker 3: they were saying when vance was like, you like immigrants
Speaker 3: or the reason why we have a housing crisis and
Speaker 3: everything's so unaffordable, and you're like, sir, that's have you bought.
Speaker 1: You immigrants coming into our country buying up our real estate.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is also like again, and I have
Speaker 2: to just say this because he is Asian American, he's
Speaker 2: from Vietnam. You know, he's an immigrant. Stephen Chung, who
Speaker 2: is Trump's yeah, fucking spokesperson who literally looks like a
Speaker 2: chicken mc nugget and grimace at the same time. See,
Speaker 2: you got to look him up. He is a he's
Speaker 2: like a very disgusting looking person, which matches his personality
Speaker 2: and what he says. But the point is is, like
Speaker 2: I just it really bothers me that these are like
Speaker 2: the attack dogs of the right and they think that
Speaker 2: like the right, the neo Nazis wouldn't sell them down
Speaker 2: the river in a heartbeat, And especially I feel like
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's something different about especially like Asian
Speaker 2: Americans who are always been painted as the outsider. You know,
Speaker 2: it's different to like throw down with someone like Mark
Speaker 2: Robinson or like God who's a football the football guy
Speaker 2: who hurt hershel Walker, Like it's different when when when
Speaker 2: it's like African Americans, it's you know, whereas like Asian
Speaker 2: Americans have always been seen as like outside or other
Speaker 2: dirty fuckin wuhan virus, like China virus, all this ship,
Speaker 2: you know, and you're just like and now you're carrying
Speaker 2: water for these people. It's so gross.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so just happen.
Speaker 2: Look at all you got to do is look at
Speaker 2: a vec won't.
Speaker 3: You please think of he sat down, he did his
Speaker 3: song and dance for them, and then they ate your
Speaker 3: ass and spit your ass out.
Speaker 2: And look at and look at Nikki Haley. And it
Speaker 2: is very funny that he said alpha women. It's like
Speaker 2: anyone who traffics in that kind of bullshit will tell
Speaker 2: you there's nothing, no such thing as an alpha woman.
Speaker 2: The fact that there are women even in the military
Speaker 2: is woke, ye, And it's the reason that we are
Speaker 2: like losing wars or whatever, even though we don't want
Speaker 2: to start neon wars. It's like the reason Donald Trump
Speaker 2: almost got shot because there was a female Secret Service agent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so which one is it? Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: signs he got his signals crossed. Look out the men
Speaker 1: or alpha women?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, wait, because but then he also did that
Speaker 3: thing too, where like you're so right, it becomes a
Speaker 3: full circle and then you have like a progressive take.
Speaker 3: It's like, because corporations are going to buy up the
Speaker 3: houses and that's really going to drive It's like, wait,
Speaker 3: so what what are you saying against that you're gonna
Speaker 3: is that? Is that a policy you would advocate for,
Speaker 3: for like stopping corporate landlording?
Speaker 2: Well, that exactly That answer reminds me of what Jade
Speaker 2: Vance did multiple times, which was talking himself out of
Speaker 2: a job and actually into a staff position on Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris's administration straight up, like you know, in multiple moments,
Speaker 2: I mean, you're Kamal Ayers has been saying it's like
Speaker 2: the best part of her housing policy, which I think
Speaker 2: doesn't nearly go far enough, but it's talking about corporate landlords, right,
Speaker 2: and the buying up of you know, available units and whatnot,
Speaker 2: And it's like yeah, and so the same thing is
Speaker 2: like you realize you're all making the case for someone
Speaker 2: who actually has a plan. You could have a plan.
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with Republicans actually having a plan, but
Speaker 2: they don't. It's just illegals. And I think this other
Speaker 2: big is like it's so funny me. Have you ever
Speaker 2: spoken to like a recent immigrant and ask them like, hey,
Speaker 2: what's your living situation? Like are they ever like I mean,
Speaker 2: I've got like a one bedroom, you know, and like
Speaker 2: I've got great Wi Fi here. It's like really so
Speaker 2: high speed. No, no, no, it's.
Speaker 1: Like I'm in a condo in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a really good view.
Speaker 1: No it is.
Speaker 2: I live in a want a studio apartment with twelve
Speaker 2: of other people and one day I hope to maybe
Speaker 2: only have six roommates straight up, Like that's how immigrants
Speaker 2: live in this country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're not. But again, it's like everything has
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 3: It's always a zero sum game and a way to
Speaker 3: be like, well, because you have less, we can attribute
Speaker 3: that to this presence. Therefore, activate your hate and you know,
Speaker 3: vote Trump and yeah, just go against everything you believe
Speaker 3: in or believe in.
Speaker 2: Who knows and uh, you know, pay more for uh
Speaker 2: workers who have been here for forever and are like, actually,
Speaker 2: I kind of want more. It's like it's like that's
Speaker 2: the other thing. You're like, we're coming out of a
Speaker 2: time when like fast food workers are getting twenty five
Speaker 2: dollars an hour and right wingers and billionaires are like
Speaker 2: what the fuck? No ow dare they They're just so
Speaker 2: greedy and nobody wants to work. And then immigrants are like,
Speaker 2: we do, We're chill, well it will work. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: not you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and
Speaker 1: it's biopic season. Everyone is that actually a season or
Speaker 1: did you just season?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yank you yank, thank you?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. It's just like this
Speaker 1: is the type of movie they like to put out
Speaker 1: to get get some love. There's usually I feel like
Speaker 1: there's like a one point five ex multiplier on your
Speaker 1: chances of getting an Oscar if it's a musical biopic
Speaker 1: like Bohemian Rhapsody, Like Ronny Mallock deserved well into that
Speaker 1: Oscar tooth act, into the tooth acting.
Speaker 3: Maybe the gompers, Yeah, gompers in an accent, and I'll
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: I think the Elton John guy got some love that song.
Speaker 1: The I walked the line did some numbers number that's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we're cap now, I'm just capodi get uh.
Speaker 1: Specifically musical biopicks. We've got three coming out. Two some
Speaker 1: would say too many, but they they kind of seem
Speaker 1: to have had that same thought, and they're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: how do we make these not all the thing that
Speaker 1: they made fun of in Walk Hard? You know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so we got the Bob Dylan one, which seems
Speaker 1: like it's a pretty straightforward, like could have been one
Speaker 1: of the movies being made fun of him Walk Hard.
Speaker 1: It's just they're like, yeah, but we got Timothy Shalomey
Speaker 1: as Bob Dylan, as young Bob Dylan might be Yeah
Speaker 1: enough said, it's only covering him up to nineteen sixty five,
Speaker 1: so it's like gonna cover his him going electric. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know about this whole controversy
Speaker 1: during Bob Dylan's career, but he was like an acoustic
Speaker 1: troubadour and then like people were so bored at the
Speaker 1: time that when he decided to start playing an electric guitar,
Speaker 1: they were like Judas, Yeah, fuck you man, wear at
Speaker 1: your fucking back on us.
Speaker 2: Well, but arguably there are they gonna just like stop
Speaker 2: before like nineteen sixty eight and like the height of
Speaker 2: the anti Vietnam War movement and the height of like
Speaker 2: what kind of made Bob Dylan even more legendary. It's
Speaker 2: just gonna be We're gonna just deepoliticize everything about.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be more about like the iconography, the music,
Speaker 1: the music, the pair the yea. We're going to see
Speaker 1: him like go to a store and be like, what
Speaker 1: about those sunglasses? Yes, yeah, no, no, no, you don't
Speaker 1: classes make you look like shit, and he like puts
Speaker 1: for any.
Speaker 2: Elderly You're like, oh, and then he's it.
Speaker 1: Takes him off the face of a blind guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, you can borrow mine. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: That's every musical biopic is just like someone at a
Speaker 2: piano messing around or on their guitar and we're like, yeah, Brote, like.
Speaker 1: Play that again, Bob dain fan. The trailer did get me,
Speaker 1: but that's I'm a sucker?
Speaker 2: Is it in black and white?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean everything's almost think.
Speaker 3: Timothy Shallomey is also just like in so many IP
Speaker 3: type movies, right, like they're not original scripts, like he's
Speaker 3: in Doom, he was Willy Wonka, Like, uh, call Me
Speaker 3: by your Name was like based on a novel? Like
Speaker 3: is this always kind of being like it's like he's
Speaker 3: the IP god, Bob Dylan, get Timothy Shallomey, Man, I.
Speaker 2: Didn't Call Me by your Name was already a book.
Speaker 2: But I feel like that doesn't count as like a
Speaker 2: big IP.
Speaker 3: No no no, But I mean but in the I
Speaker 3: sort of mean that and sort of like the inside
Speaker 3: Baseball Hollywood way, because we're like everyone in Hollywood now
Speaker 3: says everything has to be IP. Intellectual property has been
Speaker 3: based on something else to the point where like I
Speaker 3: know writers who are writing scripts and just claiming it's
Speaker 3: based on a book that exists because they're counting on
Speaker 3: development executives to not read it or actually part through
Speaker 3: that amazing and they're like, oh, that's great, and you
Speaker 3: got the rights and they're like yep, and they're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's actually a post credit sequence and call Me
Speaker 1: by your Name where it threw v that it takes
Speaker 1: place in the g I Joe Transformation just to anchor it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, like that's like everyone just because
Speaker 3: the amount of creative thinking in this town has just
Speaker 3: gone fucking just ooof that.
Speaker 1: It's now everything Like is it based on something people
Speaker 1: know about?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got these terrible fucking movies or like half
Speaker 3: assed biopics that like about really interesting people.
Speaker 1: Like that Amy Winehouse thing. I feel I could have
Speaker 1: probably been interesting, but I yeah, there's a big string
Speaker 1: of missing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even see that one. I haven't seen
Speaker 2: a lot of them, just because you're like, I could
Speaker 2: watch a documentary, like I didn't watch Anina Owe one.
Speaker 2: I have watched Amy Winehouse documentaries. I'm like, that's that's
Speaker 2: depressing enough, you know, I want like the real depressing thing.
Speaker 2: I mean it's also, by the way, I didn't even
Speaker 2: talk about this. I was going to but like the Manette,
Speaker 2: I'm deep in the Menandez brother situation, okay, And I'm
Speaker 2: like the documentary on max HBO whatever is great, Like
Speaker 2: it's really good, and I don't want to subject myself
Speaker 2: to fucking Ryan Murphy's you know, sensationalized bullshit on Netflix.
Speaker 2: It's just like that, you know, he's the real thing
Speaker 2: that he says is been the best thing that happened
Speaker 2: to Menendez brothers in thirty years.
Speaker 1: Shut up, He's like, I mean, I don't believe they
Speaker 1: were incestuous, but.
Speaker 2: You know, but like what if they were and it
Speaker 2: was hard?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, But anyway, they have them fucking stars, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: they should be.
Speaker 2: Thinking nobody knew who they were. I put them on
Speaker 2: the map.
Speaker 1: The schall May thing like, we don't have to show
Speaker 1: the trailer because you can just close your eyes and
Speaker 1: picture the trailer and it is that that is exactly
Speaker 1: what it is. Bob Dylan and you know, Timothy shell
Speaker 1: May put a Bob dylanwig on Timothy Shellman. So in
Speaker 1: order to and be probably as a result of some
Speaker 1: of these other biopics, there was also a Whitney Houston
Speaker 1: one that didn't do very well. Studios are trying to
Speaker 1: figure out, like, how what do we do here? How
Speaker 1: do we spin this so that it feels like it's
Speaker 1: different than every musical biopick that you've ever seen. Also,
Speaker 1: they usually try to hide the fact that movies are musicals. Now,
Speaker 1: like that seems to be the trick is like make
Speaker 1: a musical and then don't show any of the songs
Speaker 1: in it, and oh, what this a musical? No like
Speaker 1: that the Mean Girl's remake that the entire reason for
Speaker 1: it existing was The Mean Girl's the musical, but they
Speaker 1: like cut the musical out of the title and made
Speaker 1: a trailer where it was just a remake of Mean Girls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I did great because people wait, yeah, and they're
Speaker 1: saying and I guess I'm okay with that, but I
Speaker 1: guess it's like not a selling point, so they're trying
Speaker 1: to come up with other selling points. We've talked before
Speaker 1: about the upcoming Pharrell biopic that.
Speaker 2: We're just doing people who were alive. I mean, Dylan's alive.
Speaker 1: Dylan's alive. I do think a big part of the
Speaker 1: problem way whatever biopics is that like if the person
Speaker 1: like is so iconic that like, you know, everybody knows,
Speaker 1: like Tupac, for instance, like everybody knows exactly what they
Speaker 1: look like, everybody saw a lot of them on camera,
Speaker 1: and then you like have a film with somebody else
Speaker 1: playing that who's not as magnetic. The Tupac movie wasn't L.
Speaker 3: The Bob Marley movie wasn't L and a lot of
Speaker 3: it was because these people look nothing fucking liked them.
Speaker 1: You're like, what the fuck is?
Speaker 2: But Straight Out of Compton was not a l I
Speaker 2: love that movie.
Speaker 1: That was.
Speaker 3: I mean that's where it's like thank god you had
Speaker 3: Osha Jackson, Junior.
Speaker 1: Ice Cube and like that and the acting was great.
Speaker 3: But like with the Tupac one, they just went after
Speaker 3: a dude who went viral for looking like Tupac and
Speaker 3: we're like, get him some acting classes and that's what
Speaker 3: you got there. So the for real, I'm like a
Speaker 3: huge I'm a gigantic pharal fan. Oh really growing up
Speaker 3: oh like because people are like, oh, you kind of
Speaker 3: look like is he Asian or not? And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: you know what, this might be like a style lane
Speaker 3: for me, like when I was like seventeen years old,
Speaker 3: and like the Neptunes, I have like a near encyclopedic
Speaker 3: knowledge of like every song like produced and artists they
Speaker 3: collaborated with. But when I saw the trailer for this,
Speaker 3: when I went to see Beetle Juice Beetle Juice, and
Speaker 3: I growned so fucking hard. I was like, why is
Speaker 3: Pharrell a fucking lego? Like what are we even doing here?
Speaker 3: And also this isn't the time for a Pharrell biopic.
Speaker 1: It just came to me. It came off as such
Speaker 1: a weird cash.
Speaker 2: Grapes like me or the Minions involved as well.
Speaker 1: It just Lego should I mean it should or like
Speaker 1: he never more inspired than when he is making music
Speaker 1: for the Minions.
Speaker 2: Or animated like, yeah, dude does.
Speaker 1: He seems to be very artistically inspired by like cartoons
Speaker 1: and kids entertainment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's very whimsical, Like it's great. No, I
Speaker 3: don't think so, Okay, there were a lot of times
Speaker 3: I remember in the early days of the Internet it
Speaker 3: was like, oh, you know he's Filipino, and like are like,
Speaker 3: well really really really, people are like really digging in
Speaker 3: it's it still seems it seemed like a mystery.
Speaker 1: Unless you probably Wikipedia and the answers there.
Speaker 3: But all that to say, it's like, I don't this again,
Speaker 3: Why is it a Lego? Is it because the Lego
Speaker 3: movies do well and you're just trying to have some
Speaker 3: synergistic thing here where it's like for real, plus Legos
Speaker 3: take your kids and then you can hear Snoop Dogg
Speaker 3: talk too, But they.
Speaker 1: All look like fucking Legos. You know what Jack said.
Speaker 2: It's it is a cash grab.
Speaker 1: It's a cash grab. And all Lego toys look pretty similar,
Speaker 1: like all the Legos I know, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: work on that.
Speaker 3: And I said that first, and I have to check
Speaker 3: my old white supremacy in my bad.
Speaker 1: But like they like show these people who are supposed
Speaker 1: to like go Barner, uh oh wow, yeah, like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's this is where he gave that song idea to
Speaker 1: that famous artist and it's just like another Lego person
Speaker 1: but like they have a goatee and you're like, uh
Speaker 1: oh guys, buster rhymes in the world.
Speaker 2: Of like famous producers, And given how Diddy has gone
Speaker 2: down right.
Speaker 1: Why what happen?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It does make me feel like slightly like like
Speaker 2: let him do this, because like maybe maybe this is
Speaker 2: just me being naive. I know, Diddy did come out
Speaker 2: with some sort of documentary like about himself or like
Speaker 2: you know, people do all kinds of crazy things. But
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe it means like because like if you
Speaker 2: also had like really awful shit on you, would you
Speaker 2: want to be doing press tours? Like you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. It makes me feel like, oh, maybe he's
Speaker 2: like a good guy. Like, it's the way I feel
Speaker 2: about fifty cent and fifty cents got a documentary I
Speaker 2: think about Diddy where which makes me be like, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe fifty cent is like actually not a bad person,
Speaker 2: Like maybe he doesn't have rape allegations and assault allegations,
Speaker 2: because why would you be doing his documentary?
Speaker 1: Quick Google sears, Oh, quick Google sears.
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 1: But no, But I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's something about this that I'm like, Okay, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: there's still good people in music out there. Who are
Speaker 2: you know, we once admired.
Speaker 3: I think at this point it's a safe bet to
Speaker 3: just presume that anyone at the height of the entertainment
Speaker 3: industry probably has like a graveyards worth the skeletons in
Speaker 3: their closet.
Speaker 1: I think so too.
Speaker 2: The me too moment really passed over the music industry
Speaker 2: and was like too much, too big, We'll get back
Speaker 2: to this need.
Speaker 1: Music, I need music to do drugs to at least
Speaker 1: it's too much homework.
Speaker 2: Yeah, too much homework, yeah yeah, yeah for real.
Speaker 1: Though for Rell, the one so suggesting that this really
Speaker 1: is just them trying not to have to cast somebody
Speaker 1: who looks like the iconic person, we also have the
Speaker 1: Robbie Williams movie that is coming out soon. Robbie Williams
Speaker 1: is a massive star in the UK. He's a guy right, No,
Speaker 1: that's Robin.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Robin Fix's son. Right, that's Alan Fix's son,
Speaker 1: Alan Thix's son, Robin. Okay, now that Robin. Robbie Williams
Speaker 1: like had a couple songs of the early two thousands
Speaker 1: that like broke through in the US. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: Millennium is one where he's and like he's basically like hot, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of his thing. He's like a hot
Speaker 1: boy idol like, but he's still alive. He's still too
Speaker 1: fresh in people's memory to have a biopic starring anybody
Speaker 1: who's just like a what we're saying, yes exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: And so what they've done is they were like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so they're thinking, like, Okay, we have this problem that
Speaker 1: we can't solve with Robbie Williams, this Robbie Williams biopic,
Speaker 1: Like how do we cast it? And then they at
Speaker 1: around that time, the Planet of the Apes movies are
Speaker 1: coming out, and they're like, what if Robbie Williams a
Speaker 1: monkey for some reason? Yeah, And not. Not everybody in
Speaker 1: the movie a monkey. And now I'm gonna start talking
Speaker 1: like the politician that we were just meeting for the
Speaker 1: first time out of Virginia. Not everybody monkey. Robbie Williams though,
Speaker 1: he mon, let's see this teaser really quick. Thank you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: their kids kicking a what's the monkey, Williams?
Speaker 3: What is the true story here, this chimpanzee who evolved
Speaker 3: into a hot singer or what? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Does he become human at some point?
Speaker 1: No, I think it's it's meant to be. Because he
Speaker 1: said different. I've always felt a little less evolved, yes,
Speaker 1: and interesting, Yeah, it's evolved.
Speaker 2: Okay, this feels like a cover for me too.
Speaker 1: Stuff.
Speaker 2: I've always felt less evolved. My animal instincts got the
Speaker 2: better of me. Haven't you seen my biopic I'm I'm
Speaker 2: a monkey.
Speaker 3: I'm a bit of one of those freak chimps that
Speaker 3: will rip your arms off with them.
Speaker 1: Yeah it so. The really shocking thing about this is
Speaker 1: that it has come out like at various festivals and
Speaker 1: people think it's good, Like it got of eighty six
Speaker 1: percent on Rotten Tomatoes. People are like, this thing actually
Speaker 1: goes it's fucking cool or tears shed somehow, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I look, I don't want to judge it. Like do
Speaker 2: something different, you know what I mean. It's better to
Speaker 2: have this than the same old, same old biopic, which
Speaker 2: for the longest time I thought was biopic, which I
Speaker 2: still think it should be pronounced biopic. But that's all
Speaker 2: a biography, like a biopsy.
Speaker 3: But like, are you getting a biopsy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I always think of like cancer check, that's.
Speaker 2: Whatever biop But but right like it's like, okay, there did
Speaker 2: something different. I don't know why it had to be
Speaker 2: about Robbie Williams, but it sounds like it's a nice
Speaker 2: movie about a chimp that finally learns it's his place
Speaker 2: and it's on.
Speaker 1: The stage and inspires a generation.
Speaker 3: No, like, I'd prefer some just weird thing where it's
Speaker 3: like if Pharrell was an alien, you know, because he
Speaker 3: says that a lot and amongst people growing up, he's like,
Speaker 3: I always felt different, my creativity out Like he says
Speaker 3: that a lot.
Speaker 1: Like I think it's even in the trailer about how
Speaker 1: he said I always felt different.
Speaker 3: It's like that's a better thing to see than like,
Speaker 3: oh so now you're a fucking lego.
Speaker 1: No, not right, no three thousand biopic that it needs
Speaker 1: to be him secretly he's been an alien the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been trying to tell you the whole time. That's
Speaker 1: what at Aliens was like. Everybody like that. That shit
Speaker 1: was not ironic, nothing, not a metaphor for aliens. You
Speaker 1: are to me. You are not listening to me. I
Speaker 1: am what actually from it? I just want to be heard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one even noticed my flute is using alien technology.
Speaker 3: Everyone goes, wow, we've got cool flute. He's got it's
Speaker 3: from another fucking planet, y'all. Anyways, Hollywood, make that happen.
Speaker 1: Things are so weird though, at this point that I
Speaker 1: saw this tweet, So somebody retweeted a thing from at
Speaker 1: discussing film blue check mark, so you know it's real.
Speaker 1: That announced an animated Phil Collins biopic is in the
Speaker 1: works that will take place in the world of Grand
Speaker 1: theft On. Collins will voice himself. It's almost like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on? And I was just like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that is not that. The strangest biopick that I've heard
Speaker 1: of of a musician yet this year.
Speaker 2: That really sounds tight. Like I don't even know Grand
Speaker 2: Theft's Auto very well, but I know Phil Collins music,
Speaker 2: and I feel like those two things work kind of
Speaker 2: well together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Animated Genesis Phil Collins thing is fine. But this
Speaker 3: is this isn't real. I'm guessing because this this can't be.
Speaker 3: I don't understand why this would make sense to anyone
Speaker 3: who's actually making films to be like, all right, man,
Speaker 3: can we get the biggest video game franchise ever and
Speaker 3: use that IP to then mash that together one of
Speaker 3: my favorite musicians, Phil Collins.
Speaker 1: Man, it's a sick fucking movie right there. No it's
Speaker 1: not true, right, it's not true. It's not true. No, no, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm the same way as we would be sitting
Speaker 1: there reporting that it was true. But our writer JM
Speaker 1: McNab was like, guys, this isn't true.
Speaker 3: You guys, hey, don't do it. Don't don't say it's true. Believable,
Speaker 3: it's all about IP.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is, and and and also a little bit
Speaker 2: of like not paying actors, and I you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the state of the animators strike is
Speaker 2: right now, but I'm like, you know a lot of
Speaker 2: this you gotta imagine these were films that were being
Speaker 2: made during the writers strike and the SAG strike, So
Speaker 2: that's my we might be seeing the product of that
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a fun, whimsical origin story where Pharrell
Speaker 1: was just like playing with legos and we were like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, no, actually it was to fuck a
Speaker 1: bunch of people out of as much money as possible.
Speaker 3: We told Farrell this is that this he probably is
Speaker 3: going to get the biggest return on it being animated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna announce he's a billionaire at some point too.
Speaker 1: Right, could be.
Speaker 3: I wonder, I mean if Selena Gomez just became a billionaire.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm so disgusted with I don't know, you know,
Speaker 2: you guys talked about I'm just so disgusted with these
Speaker 2: stories billionaires, Like a newly minted billionaire. Shut that fuck up.
Speaker 2: This is so.
Speaker 1: Illia's jealous, Yeah, because you'll never be one.
Speaker 2: Well, I make like a third like what I make.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how much I make compared to
Speaker 2: a million dollars, but like it is, we were talking
Speaker 2: about it earlier. It is really funny that people who
Speaker 2: make like good money, like millions of dollars a year
Speaker 2: who are fine, who are like taking great vacations and
Speaker 2: live in wonderful homes. Truly, we are being told and
Speaker 2: somehow believe that they are closer to being a billionaire
Speaker 2: than they are to like, you know, being a McDonald's
Speaker 2: worker or a Walmart greeter, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like and like, no, no, you have way more in
Speaker 2: common with a Walmart greeter than you do with billionaires.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you're being taxed at a eight
Speaker 2: that like anyway, it's just like you're the ones.
Speaker 1: Who should be so mad, and yet you're voting for
Speaker 1: Trump at.
Speaker 2: Like people who make like half a million dollars or
Speaker 2: a million dollars a year, which is like, good, good
Speaker 2: on you. That's fine, you're a hard worker. But if
Speaker 2: they realize there's a pro public study that came out
Speaker 2: that it was just like shows you the discrepancy. People
Speaker 2: who are in that mid tier are paying way more
Speaker 2: in taxes than the richest and they should be fucking livid.
Speaker 3: About it, right, And those are like people that they
Speaker 3: I think it's like a perfect group to have that
Speaker 3: because they become the fighters for like the taxes are
Speaker 3: killing Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, because they have their phone owners, they have political
Speaker 2: power their voters exactly, and it's just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Zillow argument is going to be hitting with them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people love their home.
Speaker 3: Fin we just got a curb report or whatever that
Speaker 3: shit's called. What your what your mom house worth?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: But yeah, forell I mean, come on, yeah, they have whatever. Dude,
Speaker 3: just he's not a billionaire yet, you know. Did you
Speaker 3: see Sina Gomez though, she said when they brought it up,
Speaker 3: She's like, I'd rather not talk about money. I think
Speaker 3: it's in poor taste, Like you fucking billion that's such
Speaker 3: a fucked up answer to give. Like, I think it's
Speaker 3: in poor taste to talk about the fact that I've

Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it is a tweet that I've been saying
Speaker 2: out loud to myself all week. It's uh sachow chow,
Speaker 2: mister Shaw on Twitter, who says al Pacino saying, moo dang.
Speaker 1: Got a great ass.

Speaker 2: you know and one and were like, remember what he
Speaker 2: like didn't yell all the time, and like did subtlety?
Speaker 1: It was the math is so simple on that Francisca.
Speaker 1: It is when he won an oscar. He won an
Speaker 1: Oscar for sen of a Woman, in which his character
Speaker 1: had a Southern accent for no reason and shouted intermittently
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, this is what you want, Okay,

Speaker 1: page dissertation about the connection between scent of a woman
Speaker 1: and like pick up pro culture. Yeah, he is basically
Speaker 1: Superman of pickup artists.
Speaker 2: Speaking of biopics that were good, I mean the Ray
Speaker 2: Charles biopic with Jamie Foxx. But I always think about
Speaker 2: that risk thing that apparently Ray Charles would do is
Speaker 2: feel like, meet women and then feel their wrists and
Speaker 2: then decide whether or not they were hot based on
Speaker 2: that risk.
Speaker 1: What if the woman is just beautiful but has like
Speaker 1: has broken her wrist in three places?
Speaker 3: Yeah no, sorry, because my man was off heroin man,
Speaker 3: he had methods.
Speaker 1: You know, he's actually just looking for a good vein.
Speaker 1: My favorite person.
Speaker 3: Is like, okay, girl, let me I can feel right there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah that's healthy now. Just my favorite part of
Speaker 3: Ray is bolhem wood buying. When he's like this saying
Speaker 3: No Weed Ray and we ain't snorting, no bitch this
Speaker 3: boy that and boil make your ass nulling boyd.
Speaker 1: That whole fucking monologue. No Weed Ray is a strong
Speaker 1: touchstone of the I mean, now that we're doing video episodes,
Speaker 1: we might as well just insert that right here. It's
Speaker 1: very definitely it's fairy. Yes, yes, it's a touchstone. It's

Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
Speaker 3: And then finally a friend of the show, Margaret Killjoy
Speaker 3: at Magpie kill Joy, we always talk about how like
Speaker 3: compassion you could like the one side of seeing these
Speaker 3: disasters happen, even in places we're like, oh God, what's
Speaker 3: gonna come of us is that you ultimately people do
Speaker 3: show each other. Compassion and mutual aid is very real.
Speaker 3: So at Magpie Kiljoy, she tweeted, disaster, compassion is real.
Speaker 3: Here's some things I've seen today and yesterday in western
Speaker 3: North Carolina, like an entire thread of just like really
Speaker 3: fantastic like anecdotes observations.
Speaker 1: She made Like this is a really long thread, and.
Speaker 3: It's everything from just just the simplest things of people,
Speaker 3: you know, helping each other, to like tool libraries opening
Speaker 3: up to help people fix things and.
Speaker 1: All this other stuff.
Speaker 3: So I think for a world right now where we
Speaker 3: lack a bit of hope and thinking that we have
Speaker 3: lost total compassion for each other, I think this was
Speaker 3: like a really nice thread and also underscores the importance
Speaker 3: of mutual aid and solidarity.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and a lot of groups are accepting
Speaker 2: donations to whether like on you know, monetary or even
Speaker 2: just like goods, clothing and all kinds of sanitary stuff.

Speaker 1: and one of them is like if Baz Luhrmann made
Speaker 1: a Batman movie but lost the rights halfway through production.
Speaker 2: That's because like the beginning I was like I'm going
Speaker 2: to make a Batman movie, like I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that hasn't happened already, right.

Speaker 1: chooses to look around this dark room with a pair
Speaker 1: of binoculars, almost as if to say, what are binoculars
Speaker 1: and how do they work? It's really she's like shuffling
Speaker 1: through a desk, like looking at all these like papers
Speaker 1: and notes, and then she just picks up a pair
Speaker 1: of binoculars and just does this with them, which might
Speaker 1: see I'm gonna put the link in there for people
