Speaker 1: into the trends, Miles, let's go a little check in with
Speaker 1: one another. Just check in, man, check him from the weekend.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The only way we know how this is. This is
Speaker 1: how I start all conversations in public with my family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is overrated and underrated?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's never like, hey, how are you? How you feeling?
Speaker 4: It's always like, what's any thing is over Like when
Speaker 4: I was sad once, I remember like, what's anything is overrated?
Speaker 2: That is your way of getting me to kind of
Speaker 2: express myself from your heart.
Speaker 1: It seems like there might be an overrated that you
Speaker 1: want to get out.
Speaker 4: I guess if we're putting it that way, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: over under I got, I have some I got. Okay,
Speaker 4: So let's start with overrated first, because it was Father's Day.
Speaker 4: I think fighting the inevitability of washed parenthood is overrated.
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta let that fucking wave.
Speaker 4: Hit you and just embrace it, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 4: fucking I was this. I always bring the scene up
Speaker 4: from Deep Impact where Talione's with her dad at Cape
Speaker 4: Cod and that fucking tidle waves coming for them and
Speaker 4: they're just like, fuck it, let's go. I feel like
Speaker 4: that with my first Father's day out the way. Thank you,
Speaker 4: thank you very much, thank you so much. Her majesty
Speaker 4: bought me this big ass like woven ratan hat with
Speaker 4: like the most garish UCLA branding on it to be
Speaker 4: like and now you need your big son hat because
Speaker 4: you a washed dad now. And it was like one
Speaker 4: of those things where first by my blood like normally
Speaker 4: would have curdled in rage, like I would never wear
Speaker 4: some shit like that. But the way I snatched that
Speaker 4: thing out of the bag and put it on my
Speaker 4: head immediately, I was like, this is where I need
Speaker 4: to be protection. You gotta have it, you gotta have it,
Speaker 4: you gotta have it. Uh So I've been I've been
Speaker 4: really leaning into that and like you know, you haven't
Speaker 4: seen me my most latest fashion iteration, Jack.
Speaker 2: We will see that soon as all cargo pants.
Speaker 1: All cargo only cargo and full cargo pant pockets, which
Speaker 1: is underrated. I think a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Down into the ankles.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The pocket goes from mid file really long car bucket
Speaker 4: and like make it put making use of those why
Speaker 4: those big pockets?
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, keys clattering like a broomstick.
Speaker 4: I can put a broom in there when you move
Speaker 4: too much. Whatever, I need a pack and play for
Speaker 4: the kid, you know.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a dad dad related overrated as well.
Speaker 1: My overrated is going to be bringing your five year
Speaker 1: old to a movie with a complicated time travel multiverse plot.
Speaker 1: I did bring my five and seven year old to
Speaker 1: Across the Spider Verse yesterday. They really enjoyed the movie,
Speaker 1: but in terms of their ability to self regulate in
Speaker 1: a crowded movie theater, the main thing that they don't
Speaker 1: get yet is the ability to regulate their volume to
Speaker 1: appropriate levels. They're like drunk people.
Speaker 2: You know, like full voice scream question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my five year old like, I'll whisper in his ear.
Speaker 1: Then he'll put his mouth to my ear and then
Speaker 1: speak to me like I'm across the room.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but which why why is this Spider Man not
Speaker 4: color exactly?
Speaker 1: But and the questions are like usually I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: well that's like, you know, you can just like kind
Speaker 1: of answer it in one sentence, but this one he
Speaker 1: was like, why did the spider machine take him back
Speaker 1: to a different timeline than the one that it usually
Speaker 1: And you know that you have to give at least
Speaker 1: a paragraphs worth of explanation for them, right, So that
Speaker 1: would be it would be My note is maybe like
Speaker 1: or just do the first screening of the day, which
Speaker 1: I think is you know, no holds barge kids are
Speaker 1: allowed to run wild at those ten in the morning.
Speaker 2: Oh see, as a parent, I always Lookay.
Speaker 4: The one time I did it was like when I
Speaker 4: was younger, and that was to see a movie no
Speaker 4: one to bring their kids to because I was just like,
Speaker 4: I think the theater'll be probably be pretty empty. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I didn't think of Yeah now as I think
Speaker 4: of like what your schedule is, like, you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: we can hit that ten thirty am movie. But then
Speaker 4: it's basically just a big day care with a movie
Speaker 4: playing in the background.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, what's your underrated? What's you're underrated?
Speaker 4: Sweeping as in the ground because the leg or the
Speaker 4: grass the leg. Yeah, I know, I know, I know,
Speaker 4: you're in Ralph Maccio mode right now. But I so
Speaker 4: I stepped on a fucking b oh, and I'm I liked.
Speaker 2: Look y'all know me. You know how I don't like
Speaker 2: tough guys.
Speaker 4: You know you guys got that energy sometimes like I
Speaker 4: might be, I might be stronger than I actually am.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something.
Speaker 4: When I step on a bee, I I turned to
Speaker 4: I turned to Jello.
Speaker 2: I screamed.
Speaker 4: I almost called her Majesty Mommy. I felt like I
Speaker 4: was so I did the thing where it was like
Speaker 4: a little kid. I I didn't realize I stepped on
Speaker 4: it till I was like, uh, I had like my
Speaker 4: feet up and I noticed like a pain in my foot.
Speaker 4: And then I just looked and I just saw the
Speaker 4: bee on there like wriggling, and I just went oh.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, I get it off, get
Speaker 2: it off, get it off.
Speaker 4: And so when I did the first move I did,
Speaker 4: I flucked flinged it away, so the body separated from
Speaker 4: the stinger, but the stinger was still in there.
Speaker 2: And that's when I was like scrims Like, I was like,
Speaker 2: get it out, get it out. Even though it was.
Speaker 4: I could have easily gotten it out like it was
Speaker 4: on the bottom of my foot. I could have it
Speaker 4: out right there. I had fingers and everything. But the
Speaker 4: way I really relied on my partner in that moment.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: And then dude, she did carry you back into the
Speaker 1: house across your shoulders like Vietnam style.
Speaker 2: Exactly flop me on the bed. She had to.
Speaker 4: She tried to give me a bend a drill, and
Speaker 4: I spit it out because I go no, because I
Speaker 4: don't like I don't like pills. So she had to
Speaker 4: mush it up into a paste and put in something older.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had my.
Speaker 4: Venda drill and my Advil, and her majesty was like,
Speaker 4: how many advil did you just take?
Speaker 2: I'm like four.
Speaker 4: I'm like cause I don't really take I don't take
Speaker 4: advila or ship like that anyway. So I was like
Speaker 4: fuck it, Like, I'm like, here we go. And I
Speaker 4: don't know why I thought the pain was gonna go
Speaker 4: be so bad. It's fine, but hey, if you have tips,
Speaker 4: because now it's.
Speaker 2: Itchy as ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the name, come in now and then just
Speaker 1: be sleepy. Yeah, hi, I guess so drill should help.
Speaker 2: We'll look at the.
Speaker 4: Ground you're walking on, because unfortunately, I just feel like
Speaker 4: we're in this era of like more dead bees on
Speaker 4: the ground than ever in.
Speaker 2: My lifetime prior to this.
Speaker 1: We rake them into a pile and jump into them
Speaker 1: in the fall instead of it's there's too many dead
Speaker 1: bees all over the place. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So whatever, I know, I know, we got be
Speaker 4: be expertise. I hear, what can I do to like
Speaker 4: help these motherfuckers to not die around me? If there's
Speaker 4: anything I can do, because I don't, you know, whenever
Speaker 4: I've had a hive or something, I always have it
Speaker 4: like responsibly relocated and shit.
Speaker 2: But I just see the aftermath of whatever chemicals or
Speaker 2: whatever they say, the celta, whatever the fuck is fucking
Speaker 2: with these bees. It's it's real. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My underrated is the brain chemicals that our body naturally
Speaker 1: provides us with, particularly during sleep. Like this was something
Speaker 1: that I just maybe we were having some fitful sleep
Speaker 1: with our kids this weekend, so I was waking up
Speaker 1: a lot in the middle of like a dream and
Speaker 1: then you know, going you know, with my five year
Speaker 1: old back to his bed and then going back to sleep.
Speaker 1: But like just the way I guess the way I
Speaker 1: always think about sleep is like it's good. It's like
Speaker 1: just the off switch part of my day when I
Speaker 1: go bye bye and I'm not there. But like I
Speaker 1: think there's something too, like where we go away to
Speaker 1: like that I don't know, like you're just fucking high,
Speaker 1: so I'll like remember what I was dreaming for like
Speaker 1: two minutes, but everything else is just like blacked out.
Speaker 1: Like I remember my dreams for like fifteen seconds after
Speaker 1: waking up, and then it's just I don't know. The
Speaker 1: older I've gotten, the more time I've gotten without like
Speaker 1: using any other like of the chemicals that I used
Speaker 1: to use, Like sleep is just really a wild ride.
Speaker 4: It's it's wild though too, and like you see those
Speaker 4: like I remember reading about how it's like your brain
Speaker 4: like washes itself while you're sleeping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, too, it's like dousing itself and like all sorts
Speaker 1: of chemicals that I feel, like you know, are It's
Speaker 1: like I think there's like a lot of First of all,
Speaker 1: like dream logic is this whole other world of logic
Speaker 1: that I think my waking brain has always just been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense, it's nothing, but I think it's
Speaker 1: also like what like there's these little like bouts of
Speaker 1: dream logic that have to do with like what I
Speaker 1: find funny, and I think I'm still We record these
Speaker 1: a little early in the morning, so I think I'm
Speaker 1: still half asleep, which is why none of this is
Speaker 1: making sense. But like I've been thinking about that a
Speaker 1: lot this weekend, just because I had like weird fitfull
Speaker 1: sleep and when I would wake up, I would be
Speaker 1: on this like fucking cosmic journey like running away from
Speaker 1: uh lightning storms and like this huge dramatic vision quest,
Speaker 1: untethered from space and time. And then you're like up
Speaker 1: in your in your kids bedroom, and then you go
Speaker 1: back and like you just I don't remember much of it,
Speaker 1: but it's a.
Speaker 2: The twilight is always very interesting.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, especially when I like I wake up and
Speaker 4: I'm trying to fall back asleep.
Speaker 2: There's like this fine tight rope.
Speaker 4: I feel like I walk, We're like I'm about to
Speaker 4: like I might just get over the line to fall
Speaker 4: back asleep, and then I just take like a deep
Speaker 4: breath out of them, and then I'm like, oh, and
Speaker 4: like i feel like I'm my body's waking itself up
Speaker 4: like with that breath and I'm like no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: no, no no no no the breath, yeah no. And then
Speaker 4: I'm like, fuck, it's gone, it's gone, It's gone. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I don't know how to make sense of this, but
Speaker 4: let us know if you're a sleep expert too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sleep experts, Like, I'm curious to hear more about
Speaker 1: that stuff, like I've I've just always like I think
Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump never sleeps has like something
Speaker 1: to do with how he is, like because it's just
Speaker 1: like an over overabundance of like waking logic without like
Speaker 1: any sort of dream logic or any any balance to that.
Speaker 4: Or he's in the dream logic build right, or he
Speaker 4: just never sleeps and like he's half asleep at all times.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into one story from over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Now that we're caught up with each other, you're caught.
Speaker 2: Up with us. Also, how are you doing good?
Speaker 1: How about you?
Speaker 2: Fine? You don't have to that, so it's really uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: due you don't have to go there?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 2: And there? You have to go there?
Speaker 1: All right, Titanic tourism. So this is just like such
Speaker 1: a weird story. It feels like algorithmically generated, but it's
Speaker 1: like tragically real search is underway for a submarine that
Speaker 1: went missing while exploring the wreckage of the Titanic. It's
Speaker 1: been days, but the vessel's life support reportedly lasts for
Speaker 1: ninety six hours. So I think some people are holding
Speaker 1: out hope. Yeah, but it's yeah, and it just it
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, first of all, this is why
Speaker 1: if you were like monitoring trends, why like James Cameron
Speaker 1: was trending on Twitter twice because we can't like process reality.
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with him or the movie, but the
Speaker 4: fact that there's a submarine Titanic thing.
Speaker 2: It's like James Cameron, James Camra.
Speaker 1: James Yeah, but yeah. There are four passengers and one
Speaker 1: pilot on board. One of the passengers was identified as
Speaker 1: a billionaire British explorer, Hamish Harding. Hamish Hamish Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know how he pronounces it, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's part of Ocean Gate Expeditions, a company that charges
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per person for a
Speaker 1: private Titanic expedition. Yeah, and it's like the privatization. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people were immediately like, well, this
Speaker 1: must be related to the government or something, and it
Speaker 1: seems like maybe maybe it should be. Yeah, maybe that
Speaker 1: assumption is steering us in the right direction.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of There were a lot of like
Speaker 2: articles and things over the last couple of years talking
Speaker 2: about this company, and not one of them was like
Speaker 2: this looks safe, this looks good, Like Smithsonian magazine did one,
Speaker 2: and they were just basically being like, like to your point,
Speaker 2: They're like, you know, most like submersibles that can go
Speaker 2: that deep are owned by governments. That's just how it is.
Speaker 4: But apparently this company could do it because they're using
Speaker 4: carbon fiber composites, which is quote far cheaper.
Speaker 2: And you're like, oh okay.
Speaker 4: And then people pointed out that like it could be
Speaker 4: controlled by like what looks like a PlayStation controller. It's
Speaker 4: just like a USB game controller, and people are like,
Speaker 4: oh no, like what is that. Other people I've seen
Speaker 4: other submersible experts like chime in, They're like, it's don't
Speaker 4: don't look at it that it's a PlayStation controller. It's
Speaker 4: just like a very easy to use controller that makes
Speaker 4: sense for maybe not the most skilled pilots or whatever.
Speaker 4: But I'm still like, oh, okay, sure, sure, and then yeah,
Speaker 4: like just the I want to play this one clip
Speaker 4: because people were pointing out like CBS last year also
Speaker 4: did a profile on ocean Gate, which already sounds like
Speaker 4: some kind of version of Watergate, sadly, right, And you know,
Speaker 4: David Pogue is like during this whole piece, he's essentially
Speaker 4: been like, yo, this shit. Jake is fun, like was
Speaker 4: his whole like sort of energy talking about everything. And
Speaker 4: I'll just play a couple of bits of this because
Speaker 4: in a way, it's not like, hey, you should have
Speaker 4: known what you got into, but it's clear that a
Speaker 4: lot of people sort of outwardly were looking at this
Speaker 4: and being like this doesn't seem like totally safe, right, Okay,
Speaker 4: So right now he's going to read the release that
Speaker 4: you have to sign to go into the submersible, an
Speaker 4: experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified
Speaker 4: by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability,
Speaker 4: emotional trauma, or death.
Speaker 5: Where do I sign?
Speaker 4: And now they're like looking at the Wow, actual sub.
Speaker 2: Inside the sub has about as much room as a minivan.
Speaker 2: So this is not your grandfather's submersible. We only have
Speaker 2: one button that's it.
Speaker 4: It should be like an elevator, you know, it shouldn't
Speaker 4: take a lot of skill. The titan is the only
Speaker 4: five person sub in the world that can reach Titanic depths.
Speaker 4: He goes on to be like, isn't some of this
Speaker 4: stuff from like Lows and like home Depot that you're
Speaker 4: like using like these ballasts and stead of Like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: but it all works, It all works.
Speaker 1: This one still has the sticker on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I might take it, I might return it,
Speaker 4: so I don't take the sticker back.
Speaker 2: That's how you save money. Next question. But yeah, again,
Speaker 2: like you.
Speaker 4: Not to say that, like this ship was doomed from
Speaker 4: the start, but clearly there are a lot of regulatory
Speaker 4: things missing here, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's true like havitization.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: And another person, like other people pointed out like the
Speaker 4: word death is like on the first page of the
Speaker 4: release like six times basically, so you know what you're doing,
Speaker 4: like if you, you know, get involved with this.
Speaker 1: The company's CEO has been all over the place, like
Speaker 1: saying that he wants to do for deep ocean exploration
Speaker 1: what Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk are doing
Speaker 1: for space travel, Did.
Speaker 4: Ronda Santis sign a bill that would protect you in
Speaker 4: the event that one of your submersibles killed in people, because.
Speaker 2: Then you're not like them.
Speaker 1: He also previously bemoaned the rigorous safety laws that prevented
Speaker 1: commercial dives below a certain depth, which he called obscenely safe,
Speaker 1: because there hasn't been an injury in the commercial sub
Speaker 1: industry in over thirty five years.
Speaker 4: So famous last fucking words, and like right now the outcomes.
Speaker 4: You know, there's been a few I saw like an
Speaker 4: article on Insider that was saying like that, you know,
Speaker 4: take that for what you know, what it's worth. But
Speaker 4: they were talking to a submersible expert and they're like
Speaker 4: the three possibly, like the reason why we don't know
Speaker 4: what happened is the best case scenario is that the
Speaker 4: like comm's link or whatever just failed and the Titan
Speaker 4: submersible is just like bobbing on the surface, like literally
Speaker 4: just being like, hey, somebody come pick us up, like
Speaker 4: we're not underneath the water at the surface. Other than that,
Speaker 4: they said, the reason that they might not have lost
Speaker 4: like contact is like a catastrophic implosion Jesus Christ, or
Speaker 4: that the submarine has been tangled in the wreckage of.
Speaker 2: The Titanic itself.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So none of those are yeah, uh sound good.
Speaker 4: But you know, I hope there's a good outcome because
Speaker 4: it's I mean, like, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2: My fucking worst fear. I think one of them would be.
Speaker 2: And then when you saw you saw the inside of that.
Speaker 1: Thing, it's it's tiny, like the inside of it is
Speaker 1: just a tiny, bleak metal capsule with a single button
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that you take your shoes off before entering, right.
Speaker 1: That's customary. That's like a little thing we like to
Speaker 1: do to make sure the inside smells like absolute shit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there's like one there's like a kind of
Speaker 4: toilet and by that there was like a canister that
Speaker 4: you could just like go to the bathroom in and
Speaker 4: like just store it underneath this.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, anyway, so please please find them.
Speaker 1: Well, good energy out to the search for them. Hopefully
Speaker 1: it's not the worst case scenario. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about RFK
Speaker 1: Junior going on Rogan, Trump Hunter, all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, and RFK Junior
Speaker 1: made his Rogan appearance Joe Rogan, who when we've criticized
Speaker 1: him in the past, people have been like, he actually
Speaker 1: does like a lot of research, you know, into his guests,
Speaker 1: and it just seems.
Speaker 5: Like he he was like totally sweet by RFK Junior
Speaker 5: coming on and being like and four g is destroys
Speaker 5: the blood brain barrier and that's why uh.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, COVID happened. And he was like, well, I'm sold.
Speaker 1: I looked into these five links that you sent me. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sold.
Speaker 2: JFK's your uncle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I'm sold. We're good here with what I
Speaker 4: don't know. Ever, man, you wouldn't lie. You couldn't tell
Speaker 4: a lie. But yeah, uh the very serious presidential candidate
Speaker 4: Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior, like, I'd imagine the f is
Speaker 4: the same for all of them, right, probably, yeah, maybe
Speaker 4: it's like it's frank, but he goes on Joe Rogan
Speaker 4: to discuss very serious things like okay, it's all horses.
Speaker 4: He said this, if he goes on find well the
Speaker 4: CIA marked his uncle, and then he might be next.
Speaker 2: He said, quote, well, I gotta be careful and I'm
Speaker 2: aware of that.
Speaker 4: I'm aware of that danger. I don't live in fear
Speaker 4: of it, you know, at all. But I'm not stupid
Speaker 4: about it, and I take precautions.
Speaker 1: Okay. I mean, the CIA may have marked his uncle,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they give a shit about him.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? What are your precautions?
Speaker 4: Are your precautions basically to talk nonsense all day so
Speaker 4: they don't take you as a serious person at all
Speaker 4: and a danger to anyone except yourself and the people
Speaker 4: who are have the misfortune of.
Speaker 1: This is Joe. One of those precautions is coming on
Speaker 1: here and seeming like a completely unseerious person.
Speaker 4: But I'll be real you, I know vaccines don't cause autism.
Speaker 4: I say that to protect myself from the CIA hit squad.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: And he also was on to talk about how like
Speaker 4: you know, you know, he had to talk about vaccines,
Speaker 4: but he brings up the fact that no one will
Speaker 4: debate him, No doctor expert will debate me on my
Speaker 4: completely acid nine views on vaccines. And I do want
Speaker 4: to play this part because it I've not really heard
Speaker 4: RFK Junior talk recently, and I was I was a
Speaker 4: bit taken aback.
Speaker 2: But here we go, all these controversial opinions that you have.
Speaker 2: Have you had anyone debate you publicly about anything?
Speaker 6: Nobody will debate me for eighteen years. In fact, I've
Speaker 6: scheduled many, many debates, and I've asked hotes many many
Speaker 6: times to debate me.
Speaker 1: This is up there, This is up there with Mueller
Speaker 1: and uh Kushner for sure.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's got that like that raspy Steve O
Speaker 4: shit like you've been screaming to I don't know anyway,
Speaker 4: So he talked about Peter Hotez, who obviously I think
Speaker 4: he's that from Baylor. Out of Baylor, he's like, he
Speaker 4: won't even debate me because they're like, yeah, because you're
Speaker 4: not a serious person, and right, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: You're just gonna say nonsense? Like, what the fuck is
Speaker 2: the point of that?
Speaker 1: Right, It's not a debate when you are just not
Speaker 1: tethered to reality, right, and just making up your own bullets.
Speaker 4: Not a debate to just be like you're lying professional
Speaker 4: medical person and you're like, and how do you know that?
Speaker 2: Because I don't like what you're saying. Right, did I
Speaker 2: win the debate?
Speaker 4: And I should also be noted he also again to
Speaker 4: keep the serious candidacy going He also hollered at our
Speaker 4: boy north of the border Jordan Peterson with him too,
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, this guy's running as a Democrat,
Speaker 4: and you know, take that, take that for what it is, folks.
Speaker 2: He's out here.
Speaker 1: Well some major developments in the presidential election. I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, obviously RFK Junior, which like it will
Speaker 1: be depressingly important to like keep an eye on his
Speaker 1: pull numbers after he goes on Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson,
Speaker 1: since those shows are fucking massive. Yeah, so he I mean,
Speaker 1: that's but Kennedy says his whole thing, He's like he
Speaker 1: needs long form shows to rant on, and that's because
Speaker 1: he's like he's not good at talking in succinct sentences.
Speaker 2: So good he can spread his wings.
Speaker 1: The right is a buzz because Hunter Biden has been
Speaker 1: charged with some tax crimes and a gun crime.
Speaker 2: What did you do? So?
Speaker 1: The tax crimes seem pretty straightforward. He like didn't pay
Speaker 1: his taxes for a one point five million dollars uh oh,
Speaker 1: and oh the gun crime was interesting.
Speaker 2: Taxes okay, go on, but oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Think those are misdemeanors. And then the gun crime was.
Speaker 4: That wait a million and a half dollars is only
Speaker 4: like it's not like a felony tax criming.
Speaker 2: That's so fucking nice for America. I know, a misty
Speaker 2: when you got a fucking one point five million dollar
Speaker 2: tax bill.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I have those numbers right. Well. But
Speaker 1: so the other one is that he lied on a
Speaker 1: form when buying a gun because the form asked him
Speaker 1: whether he was actively addicted to drugs at that moment,
Speaker 1: and he was and didn't like check that box. So
Speaker 1: it's just like I'm wondering, did they specifically choose these
Speaker 1: charges to make people just be like, well, I've never
Speaker 1: once told the truth among those forms or made made
Speaker 1: any decision other than the one I was already going
Speaker 1: to make heading into signing off on paperwork.
Speaker 2: You know, sure, I just.
Speaker 4: Like like, are you adicting to drugs?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 1: Is that cool? Is that not? What?
Speaker 2: Now? Let me get my right, okay.
Speaker 1: I mean definitely serious. Like I think that there was
Speaker 1: one point where the widow of his brother like threw
Speaker 1: the gun out in a dumpster and like that that
Speaker 1: was noticed, and like that's where this charge they then
Speaker 1: like traced it back, and like just you know, he's
Speaker 1: obviously in a horrible place in his life and like truly,
Speaker 1: truly a mess. And this is you know, this all
Speaker 1: stems from a regional judge like in Delaware, who is
Speaker 1: a Trump appointee or maybe a trumpetpointee like prosecutor. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, it feels like.
Speaker 4: They got to man, this is it's all hands on
Speaker 4: deck right now. They need a fucking smoke bomb like
Speaker 4: you wouldn't believe, like the Lakers need a point guard.
Speaker 2: Okay, they need this ship to.
Speaker 4: The point where now you have like these fucking politicians.
Speaker 4: There's this whole thing about we got these Biden tapes.
Speaker 4: They were saying this last week, we got it on tape. Okay,
Speaker 4: there's this whistleblower who says they got Joe Byron on
Speaker 4: Wax talking about how he's gonna work with this energy
Speaker 4: company and get Hunter like a deal in all this
Speaker 4: and then fucking then Chuck Schumer recently came out like
Speaker 4: yesterday and was like, yeah, I'm not sure. I don't
Speaker 4: know if these I don't know if these tapes are real.
Speaker 4: It's like, bro, you were you were just screaming up
Speaker 4: and down the aisles that they were a few days ago,
Speaker 4: what the fuck what's going on? I mean, Chuck Grassley,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Chuck Grasseley, I'm mixing up my old white
Speaker 4: Chucks in the Senate. Sorry apologies to Amy Schumer's cousin. Yes,
Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley was basically then just openly questioned if they
Speaker 4: even existed. It's it's really wild. Yeah, how how the
Speaker 4: desperation is.
Speaker 1: But so, I mean, on the Biden side, they're hoping
Speaker 1: like this will just be the end of it and
Speaker 1: it'll be like, oh, you lied on a on a
Speaker 1: form and forgot to pay a taxes on the bunch
Speaker 1: of money. But who among us?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: But I think that's probably wishful thinking because on the
Speaker 1: front page of Fox News, it's like Hunter Biden Probe grows,
Speaker 1: or you know, it's being treated as just the.
Speaker 2: Beginning Hunter Biden Probe engorged.
Speaker 1: Intensive guys, GOP probe intensifies, is how they're describing it.
Speaker 4: I like though, too, Like at Biden's rally that he
Speaker 4: did over the weekend, like his first ride for reelection,
Speaker 4: his whole take was like the rich gotta pay their
Speaker 4: fair share, man.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. And by that I mean my son, my son. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and then Trump May made a couple appearances where he
Speaker 1: was in damage control mode.
Speaker 2: He was he was damaged and out of control. It's
Speaker 2: the best way to describe that.
Speaker 4: But like, yeah, dude, he went on Fox and you know,
Speaker 4: does an interview with Brett Bayer, who looks like a
Speaker 4: lego man, and they like the interview made a couple
Speaker 4: of headlines. First was like talking about like the stolen
Speaker 4: documents thing like he can't even articulate a defense that
Speaker 4: sounds reasonable, like they honestly, it sounds like me at
Speaker 4: seventeen trying to explain why my mom found like cigarettes
Speaker 4: in my jeans or some shit.
Speaker 7: Please, please could we have it back? Because they have
Speaker 7: no we would.
Speaker 3: Ask for it and we would talk.
Speaker 7: And then they said they went to doj to subpoena
Speaker 7: you to get which they've never done before. And why
Speaker 7: not just hand them over them because I had boxes.
Speaker 3: I want to go through the boxes and get all
Speaker 3: my personal things out.
Speaker 7: I don't want to hand that over to Narrow yet.
Speaker 7: And I was very busy, as you've sort of seen, but.
Speaker 2: Accordingly you've sort of seen.
Speaker 4: So this other thing was I was so busy, man,
Speaker 4: they got all my shit in there, so of course
Speaker 4: I'm not giving it back.
Speaker 2: Wait, don't say that part out loud, but okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And make sure I get my personal stuff out of there,
Speaker 1: like my social security. You need security information security.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, the wild shit too is then they
Speaker 4: get on the fucking twenty twenty but not even they didn't.
Speaker 4: The question Brett Bayer asked has nothing to do with
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty election. He's basically giving Trump an underhander
Speaker 4: to crush out of the park by saying, like, all right,
Speaker 4: next question, what are you saying to independent women voters
Speaker 4: in the suburbs given the fucking, you know, lack of
Speaker 4: agency that you guys are advocating for as a party,
Speaker 4: what do you think of that?
Speaker 2: And my man can't he can't even fucking can't help himself, dude,
Speaker 2: just listen to this shit.
Speaker 4: And then it gets hot because Brett Bayer starts like
Speaker 4: pushing back on some of the bullshit.
Speaker 3: What do you say to that female independent suburban voter
Speaker 3: who feels that way to win her back? First of all,
Speaker 3: I won in twenty twenty by a lot. Okay, let's
Speaker 3: get that straight. I won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: What do you say First of all, I want.
Speaker 7: You look at everything that you want to look at.
Speaker 8: You take a look at truth to Vote where they
Speaker 8: have people stuffing the ballot boxes on tape school, or.
Speaker 3: Let's go to recent looking well, wait a minute, let's
Speaker 3: go to recent FBI Twitter. Let's go to recent the
Speaker 3: fifty one agents all corrupt stuff.
Speaker 7: Britt understand about election, but that's cheating when they lost
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty election, who Brett.
Speaker 8: You take a look at all of the stuff ballots,
Speaker 8: You take a look at all of the things, including
Speaker 8: things like the fifty one intelligence agents.
Speaker 3: Were recounts in all of the swing states, there was
Speaker 3: not significant once we're trying to get recounts, real recounts, numbers,
Speaker 3: vote widespread corruption, there was not.
Speaker 4: Then he goes on and goes you took Ellen every
Speaker 4: single fucking lawsuit you brought to He's like even judges
Speaker 4: you appointed?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 2: What what?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And he's like, can we get back to the question.
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess I would tell them.
Speaker 2: What his thing is.
Speaker 4: Like, I'll just get to the part where he gets
Speaker 4: them back on track, because like, even then, it's not
Speaker 4: even an answer.
Speaker 3: That independent suburban woman voter we're vote, we're off to
Speaker 3: winning an election, and I think we're winning very well.
Speaker 7: I got a pull just recently happened.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's it. I said, we're off to winning
Speaker 2: an election.
Speaker 1: That's what I would say, and we're winning it very clearly.
Speaker 1: And I got a call.
Speaker 2: I won. Yo. He looks he looks like he.
Speaker 1: Looks a little off. He looks a little off.
Speaker 4: He looks like he thinks things are bad, you know,
Speaker 4: cause you never there are times you see him, like
Speaker 4: after you had COVID.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this dude looks fucking fine. I'm like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck this time?
Speaker 4: His comb overall fucked up and like windy, and he's
Speaker 4: just looking like he's getting even less sleep than usual.
Speaker 2: So you know, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: And also another thing to point out, Uh, Donald, I
Speaker 4: don't want this to get lost in all the news
Speaker 4: was there's also reports too that the FBI was resisting
Speaker 4: opening a probe into Trump's orbit as it related to
Speaker 4: January sixth, And they were dragging their.
Speaker 2: Heels for over a fucking year.
Speaker 4: So he's getting a lot of help from wherever he
Speaker 4: can get it, but he's still unable to.
Speaker 1: Make it because that sort of centrist ideal of like,
Speaker 1: we we don't want to appear to have bias, so
Speaker 1: we get we got to get these Hunter Biden charges
Speaker 1: on the book before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And honestly, it's like, are you now going to
Speaker 4: advocate for stricter gun control? Like if Hunter Biden can
Speaker 4: just lie on his oppic Like, is that is there
Speaker 4: a larger issue here or is this purely just about
Speaker 4: finding negatives about the bidens.
Speaker 2: It's probably just the latter.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and do some pop culture stuff and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and you may have seen
Speaker 1: sexy John Oliver picks floating around the internet. So basically
Speaker 1: this didn't really fully make sense to me on first glance.
Speaker 1: They were doing John Oliver on Reddit. I was like,
Speaker 1: how did they get those off my hard drive? But
Speaker 1: it's actually it's actually connected to the subreddit blackout that
Speaker 1: we talked about last week. So you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of moderators of some of Reddit's most popular subreddits are
Speaker 1: like protesting and blacking out and just like not open
Speaker 1: for business, they're striking, and Reddit CEO Steve Hoffman went
Speaker 1: into damage control mode and basically made things a lot worse.
Speaker 1: His ultimate goal is to take the company public. He
Speaker 1: was trying to play to potential investors by saying that
Speaker 1: these moderators are he compared them to like wealthy, old
Speaker 1: timey land barons. He is an actual like millionaire, but
Speaker 1: he was like claiming that they were acting in their
Speaker 1: own interests and.
Speaker 4: This isn't this isn't what the people want I know,
Speaker 4: and I don't want to scare off my investors. It's
Speaker 4: wild because a lot of the subredits are all the
Speaker 4: subreddits who were like continuing to black out past the
Speaker 4: initial couple of days. They were getting threatening messages from
Speaker 4: the administrators of reddit that are basically saying like open
Speaker 4: your shit, or we're going to open it and you
Speaker 4: won't be the admin, like you're not gonna You're not
Speaker 4: going to be touching this shit anymore. So that is
Speaker 4: why a lot of these subreddits pivoted to more like
Speaker 4: protest content. We're like, okay, you want, like we're one
Speaker 4: of the biggest subreddits and you think we're going to
Speaker 4: give you that that new new No, it's all John
Speaker 4: Oliver shit now. And like there's a subreddit called like well,
Speaker 4: that sucks where it's like just like instances where people
Speaker 4: like just do something and like something shitty happens, like
Speaker 4: nothing terrible, and now all they've been posting are just
Speaker 4: pictures of like vacuums, like that's all they're doing now.
Speaker 4: So everyone's engaging it in their own way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so, and they did like actual votes. They
Speaker 1: were like, okay, if you think that it's only moderators
Speaker 1: who are controlling this, they put it up for vote,
Speaker 1: like three of the biggest subreddits that were still dark
Speaker 1: Our Picks, Our Gifts, and are Awe, and the votes
Speaker 1: weren't even They were like, okay, we could return to
Speaker 1: normal or only allow images of John Oliver looking sexy
Speaker 1: and on our picks. It was like two thousand people
Speaker 1: voted to return to normal, thirty seven thousand people voted
Speaker 1: to do the John Oliver sexy picks protest thing. So
Speaker 1: the guy was completely off base and just saying exactly
Speaker 1: what he thought his investors wanted to hear. So that's
Speaker 1: why you will see pictures of John Oliver's had pasted
Speaker 1: onto Conan the Barbarian's body. The sexiest body it is.
Speaker 1: I think we all agree it's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's also I just saw the Federalist just put
Speaker 4: an article out yesterday that said how Reddit radicalizes the
Speaker 4: left and encourages political violence. Wow, and it's I think, maybe, well,
Speaker 4: well I'll send it to you Jack. It's worth reading
Speaker 4: because it's so funny, like how it's written from this
Speaker 4: perspective with no self awareness around radicalizations, like how radicalization
Speaker 4: is happening. But I just want to read this one
Speaker 4: part because it is kind of funny. They're talking about
Speaker 4: the radicalization and like the free thinkers that they think
Speaker 4: they are in Reddit.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 4: A very common example of this is accusing Republicans of
Speaker 4: being Nazis, and the idea that quote when someone from
Speaker 4: the left call someone a fascist, there are more than
Speaker 4: often not seems to be one that many at Reddit
Speaker 4: takes seriously. Indeed, in addition to Republicans, here's a list
Speaker 4: of things redditors have accused of being fascist. Andrew Yang,
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, people who don't like pit bulls, Tolkien, people
Speaker 4: who don't.
Speaker 9: Like Antifa, anyone who thinks Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent, the
Speaker 9: Supreme Court Second Amendment supporter is like it goes on
Speaker 9: to these really weird examples, but it also like in
Speaker 9: the way this whole piece also sounds like a hit
Speaker 9: piece to keep read it from finding investors too, like
Speaker 9: it's out of control.
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, it's toxic. You don't like, I know, you're
Speaker 4: just hearing about it, but like stay away. But it
Speaker 4: also has this thing where you can tell, like now
Speaker 4: the think tanks are really trying to figure out why
Speaker 4: kids don't like hate speech, right, you know, and they're
Speaker 4: like it's Reddit, I think, and it's radicalizing them. They're
Speaker 4: calling landlords fascist, right all right.
Speaker 1: And finally, box office report the Flash made fifty five
Speaker 1: million dollars, which is like one of those things that
Speaker 1: sounds like a lot of money, but people who pay
Speaker 1: attention to this stuff say it was like well below
Speaker 1: expectations and well below what it needed to even have
Speaker 1: a chance of making its money back. And also Pixar's
Speaker 1: new movie Elemental made twenty nine point five million dollars,
Speaker 1: which is the worst Pixar opening since the original Toy Story,
Speaker 1: which actually like if you take inflation into account, like
Speaker 1: it's earned way more than that. I did not even
Speaker 1: really noticed that this Pixar movie came out. I had
Speaker 1: to like take my kids to the movies and was
Speaker 1: just like not even didn't even like register that that
Speaker 1: was coming out this weekend. What elemental And it's like
Speaker 1: water being and fire being like gone an adventure together.
Speaker 4: I remember the image of like a flame creature and
Speaker 4: a water creature, and all I could think of was
Speaker 4: like the old world industry, skateboards, graphics, flame boy, and yeah.
Speaker 1: It seems yeah, it seems like a lot of like
Speaker 1: some of the inside out stuff, but without the like
Speaker 1: kind of the inherent organizing principle of inside out and
Speaker 1: just instead it's like there's earth and air land where
Speaker 1: water and water beings. It just felt like a lot
Speaker 1: of lore to get people on board for, and then
Speaker 1: the movie apparently isn't very good, like it's I think
Speaker 1: I think a big part of Pixar was that you
Speaker 1: always felt like they were going to deliver a certain
Speaker 1: level of quality and that has sort of fallen off
Speaker 1: and the past couple of years, and like this one
Speaker 1: is in the fifties on Metacritic, And I think it
Speaker 1: was a bigger part than they might have realized that
Speaker 1: like there was quality to these movies, right. Also they
Speaker 1: like really the fact that they're going wide in theaters
Speaker 1: with this one, but didn't with Turning Red. It just
Speaker 1: feels I mean, obviously there were pandemic related questions with
Speaker 1: Turning Red, but it still just feels like a big miscalc,
Speaker 1: big miscalc at the old Cizar Factory.
Speaker 4: Part of me is like it has a very diverse cast,
Speaker 4: Like the main characters are like people of color, And
Speaker 4: I'm like, did y'all fuck up with the marketing there?
Speaker 2: Did y'all forget to market this one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, on Fox News they're like, uh, woke, this
Speaker 1: woke movie bombed because it's woke movie. Movies that don't
Speaker 1: do well are woke in Movies that do do well
Speaker 1: are like a rejection of woke culture. Right, And apparently
Speaker 1: the Flash Movie is a complete fucking mess.
Speaker 4: Yeah Yeah, I heard people groaning while walking out of
Speaker 4: the theater.
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, why did I even pretend like that
Speaker 2: was gonna be good?
Speaker 4: But hey, you gotta I guess people had to see
Speaker 4: for themselves. I wonder if I guess that's that production man.
Speaker 4: Remember we're talking about that. One person who worked on
Speaker 4: the movie was like, the movie looks so good, you're
Speaker 4: gonna forget all the terrible.
Speaker 2: Things Ezra has done.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, you just completely forget what they've done, because
Speaker 4: that's how good this movie looks.
Speaker 2: Cut to like, how much did you say it made?
Speaker 2: Like thirty million or something?
Speaker 1: Fifty five fifty five? Yeah, and apparently you know jam
Speaker 1: or writer JM went and saw it and said that
Speaker 1: it's Ezra Miller and Ezra Miller, Like there's I you know,
Speaker 1: if you saw the preview, you probably picked that up.
Speaker 1: But it's a lot of them playing in scenes against themselves.
Speaker 1: So it's wait, wait why because there's time travel stuff.
Speaker 8: Shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the flash is so fast that they like break
Speaker 1: holes in the time space continuum is my best understanding.
Speaker 2: Can't do this, Yeah, I can.
Speaker 1: Only do so.
Speaker 4: I can only go so far, Hollywood, I can only
Speaker 4: go we hit peak multiverse with everything everywhere all at once. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I can excuse into the Spider Verse because that
Speaker 4: shit bangs. Yes, but if you're coming with it lazy,
Speaker 4: come on now, it's not enough.
Speaker 2: To be like, well, we're mentioning something like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They basically took the playbook from the other Spider
Speaker 1: Man Multiverse movie, No Way Home or Far. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think it's No Way Home where it's Tom Holland Spider
Speaker 1: Man and Toby McGuire Spider Man and all these other
Speaker 1: and so he did that with like Michael Keaton returns
Speaker 1: as Batman, but they don't like give him anything to do.
Speaker 1: He just like puts on the batsuit and says a
Speaker 1: couple of lines that like forty year olds would recognize,
Speaker 1: but there's not really any emotional arc to his appearance.
Speaker 1: And apparently also the CGI looks like shit, the industry
Speaker 1: is a mess of underpaid, overworked artists. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I did, like that was the impression. It
Speaker 1: seemed like there were a lot of sky portals or
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of like lightning effects happening in
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: So god, that.
Speaker 4: Must be so it must be so like soul crushing
Speaker 4: as a creative, like if you get notes too, or
Speaker 4: like can you just like copy Avengers Man?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like, well, yeah, fine, whatever, this movie
Speaker 2: is fucking doomed anyway.
Speaker 7: Cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Superroducer Victor says that they just like ripped off
Speaker 1: scenes from Avengers Endgame, which, yeah, it seems like I
Speaker 1: just feel like that period of superhero films, They're like
Speaker 1: all right, they did that, you know, that's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how you can honestly like that,
Speaker 4: not that they jumped the shark, but that feels like
Speaker 4: peak superhero movies. Was the Avengers Endgame shit, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like at that point, like you just
Speaker 4: got to let that shit cool off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let it cool all right. Those are some of
Speaker 1: the things that are trending on this Tuesday morning. We
Speaker 1: are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, get your flu shot, don't do nothing
Speaker 1: about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
