1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: So you don't you're in LA, but you don't know

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: if the Hollywood sign has changed colors.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: I haven't looked outside. I saw that on Twitter like

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: last night, but I wasn't paying attention.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: The whole thing. The whole LA thing was like so

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: fake like they I mean, I guess I guess it

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: was by it, like they couldn't actually fly Tom Cruise

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: warp speed back to Los Angeles, but just like felt

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that first of all, that they went

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: to Long Beach instead of Venice, like they seemed to

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: indicate they were going to Venice, and then it was

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: Long Beach.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: So you're talking about like in the closing ceremony they

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: had him like transfer it basically to LA.

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I didn't see the full thing. I

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: just saw him like repelling into the tweets about.

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: It, and that scared you, and so you ran away

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: and stopped at that point. Yeah.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you're saying it was just like very fake,

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: which does feel very Hollywood.

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just felt like so he got the thing right.

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: It just felt the whole closing ceremony in France was

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: so like experimental art piece, like what are they trying

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: to say, it was like so slow, they didn't give

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: a fuck that they were making it, just like in

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: a wildly uncomfortable watch. And then the second like Tom

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Cruise repels in and it's like quickly edited. They're like yeah, yeah, YadA,

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, like do the red dot flying across the

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: globe like in Indiana Jones And then he's like skydives

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: for no reason and makes the Hollywood Sign a different color.

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Although we still don't know and there's no way to

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: know really if that's actually happened to the Hollywood Sign

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: other than you looking at your window.

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: And I refuse to do that. I refuse to give

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise. When I look at my window, I see

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: this Scientology building and that's enough attention Tom Cruise for me.

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Done. He had done something to the Scientology building. That

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: was the big reveal.

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, this is where the Olympics are going

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: That pool so deep, or at least like the diving

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: pools I was. I had the question, how deep are

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: those diving pools? They look crazy deep. Yes, I'll go.

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: To the other side of the area. I feel like

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: every time I saw this, the swimmers go under, I

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: was like, save them, and then they came.

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Back up and I was like, oh, get back, Oh no, okay,

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Yeah, that swimming, I think in particular,

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,880

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: you like regular swimmers versus Olympic level swimmers. Yeah, and

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: it's just bonkers.

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: We're Olympic level swimmers from like the nineteen thirty Yeah,

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: like the track athletes, you know. Yeah, they didn't have

74
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,080

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: and they they sent them to try and do the

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Olympic for Yeah, exactly, freestyle was really free. It was like,

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,120

00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: a whole bag of swag, came up on squat. I

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: feel like in every family there's like a cheap person

105
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,480

Speaker 2: a ton of treats that I got them. Of course,

116
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm advocating for all the people who can't, you know,

117
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: talk to the waiter themselves, you know what I mean.

118
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't feel too embarrassed to ask for like birthday,

119
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: or we could pretend it is if you're yeah, yeah,

120
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: all right, shout out to the shout out to the cheap.

121
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: My underrated is I got two one is. I think

122
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: my brain was just like, I don't smoke weed anymore,

123
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: but my brain just like has these periods where I

124
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: feel like I'm like having high thoughts and so, uh,

125
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: my two underrateds are seashells and identical twins.

126
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: And like acid flashbacks but yeah flash.

127
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Works, Yeah, where I'm just like like seeing it again

128
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: for the first time through like high eyes and I'm

129
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: I so, I'm I'm down to shore with my kids,

130
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and my kids are just running around, you know, obsessed

131
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: with seashells. My eight year old is into collecting broken shells,

132
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: which at a certain point is annoying because what the

133
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: fuck am I going to do with all of these

134
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: broken shells? Like pave a bar parking lot in Key West.

135
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: But the more time I spent with him really looking

136
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: at the seashells, I feel like he's probably right, Like

137
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the sea just kind of spits out a bunch of

138
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: artwork that is like a minus sixth grader art project artwork,

139
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Like it's better than ninety percent of the like sculptures

140
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I have ever made or really seen. And like the

141
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: colors or like the colors usually go together really well

142
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: on the seashells, and.

143
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: You're like, you know what, see, nice job, nice job,

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: I see, You're very good, pretty good most of the time.

145
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: I literally had this thought recently because when I was

146
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: a kid, I used to be that kid who collects

147
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: all the seashells, and like even like my dad or

148
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: whatever would bring a seashell back from like a beach

149
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: he was on, and they are like really beautiful, and

150
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: like all the different shapes and the fact that they're

151
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: imperfect but still beautiful.

152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a little shard of one that you're like, oh,

153
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: this thing was beautiful. Like the full version of this

154
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: was unbelievable.

155
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: They're homes to creatures.

156
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: They're homes. They are just a bunch of houses for mollusks.

157
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: Tiny homes, tiny tiny huh.

158
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: They were on the tiny home wave before humans. Yeah.

159
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I think I think I just got older and aliced

160
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: over by life and stopped having the wonder. But I

161
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: think I am wrong and the kids are right on

162
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: this one. And seashells are fucking cool. Just straight up,

163
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: they do great work. The ocean does great work every day.

164
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Plus they've like been in the depths of the sea.

165
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: They've like seen some shit and then you know, came

166
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: out beautiful and they still come out beautiful us. And

167
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: then back to the Olympics. My identical twins one just

168
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: watching synchronized swimming, and they were like, and this is

169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: our first of six different duos who are identical twins.

170
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Like they're so like, being an identical twin is basically

171
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: a performance enhancing drug for synchronized swimming, which I don't know.

172
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: I wait, so that was actually a thing, Like they

173
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: were actually twins in synchronized women.

174
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of there were multiple twins that were

175
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: doing synchronized Yeah.

176
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: I saw that there were a couple track athletes that

177
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: were twins. I forget what their names started with an S,

178
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: but they're like these gorgeous women that were twins and

179
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: track athletes.

180
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Why are all the track athletes so gorgeous? Those were

181
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: literally I was like, why is everybody so beautiful. What

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: the fuck is happening? It's like when you see like

183
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: NFL quarterbacks, and a bunch of the NFL quarterbacks are

184
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: all like really handsome, You're like, why are all these

185
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: track athletes like the most beautiful humans I've ever seen?

186
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense.

187
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna be like, hey kid, you got a face

188
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: for track?

189
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: You know, face for track? Doesn't make sense. But it

190
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: did make me again like have high mind, just the

191
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: identical twins. Like thinking about it again, I was like,

192
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: this would be like if it wasn't real, it would

193
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: have been invented by a sci fi writer and it

194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: would have been like a mind blowing work of science fiction,

195
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Like what if there was a type of person who

196
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: looked exactly like you but also had your like same

197
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: insides and a lot of like your same personality. Like

198
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just a philosphic, philosophical like mind

199
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: fuck that we just you know, we we've lived with forever,

200
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: so it's not that weird to us. But yeah, I

201
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: don't know. And then this like sent me down a

202
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: rabbit hole of just weird Olympic athlete hacks, like apparently

203
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: swimmers have to have really long torsos and short legs

204
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: because like everything below the waist is I guess useless.

205
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: So like Michael Phelps in person looks like he's walking

206
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: around on his knees, but he's got like webbing Yama's wingspan,

207
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: like he's just wild.

208
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I was I just remember like at

209
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: the time, everybody who was commenting on the Olympics, they'd

210
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: be like, he's so graceful in the water, and he

211
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: looks like a fucking dog on land. He looks disgusting,

212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: like some sort of deep sea fish. Get the fuck

213
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: off land, Michael Phelps, get back in the water. We

214
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: don't want to see you.

215
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: You look like shit. Pal. Also, water polo players have

216
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: to have long forearms, which is just so that they

217
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: can yeah, just so they can like throw. I guess

218
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: that like helps them with the which is interesting. It's

219
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: just like weird little details of the human body. I

220
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: never would have thought.

221
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: Weird for those people, because everybody's like, oh, you're tall,

222
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: do you play basketball? Like that's a thing, But nobody's like, oh,

223
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: you have long form arms. But yeah, how do these

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: people like find It's it's amazing to me when people

225
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: find the thing that they're amazing at like Simone Biles,

226
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 2: you know, like how she had the body for and

227
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: the mental capacity and like all everything had to come

228
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: together for her to be who she is. That's such

229
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing.

230
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I have to give my overrated to

231
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: like every athlete that's not Simone Biles. Like when you

232
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: see how fucking high she umps, it's truly incredible.

233
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: Like she's like five x her height is to the

234
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: boundary line. Because fuck that when she's jumping that high

235
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: and she steps out of bounds, Like, let.

236
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Her like her just what we do now? If she

237
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: steps out of bounds, that's what we do now. Although

238
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: she was so cool about giving you know, she was

239
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: so chill. Yeah, she like bowed down to the woman

240
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: who won gold and was like really cool. Yeah, fuck

241
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the boundary line, I got, yeah, well we'll come back,

242
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about we'll do our Olympic uh decompress. But

243
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: I got, I got real into it. I was I

244
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: was like refreshing the metal count over the weekend.

245
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: Oh that was the thing I didn't really care about that.

246
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Did China win that?

247
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: No, we ended up tied with China for gold, and

248
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: then overall metal count uh, the United States ended up winning,

249
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: so but it was was touch and go there for

250
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: a little while. We needed needed that US men's basketball title,

251
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: and they came through for us. All Right, let's uh,

252
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

253
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: And we're back and the Olympics are over. We got

254
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: to watch a very weird, very French closing ceremony. We

255
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: got to meet Ygun b girl Raygun on the way out.

256
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: That was wild. So just let's just kind of go

257
00:14:53,520 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: through impressions thoughts. As mentioned I, you know, Miles and

258
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: I were talking about I was like not prepared for

259
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: how into the Olympics I was going to be and

260
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: then kind of gets me every time, but this time

261
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: in particular, I was refreshing the medal count all weekend

262
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: to see if the US was going to catch China.

263
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: I had multiple conversations where I was like, they should

264
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: have like a gold Derby or like a New York

265
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Times election needle style list of like expected medals and

266
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: remaining events because because they just like they don't because

267
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: of the tape delay, they're like not trying to be

268
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: very forthcoming about when things are happening. So you'll watch

269
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: someone win a gold on TV and then like not

270
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: know if that gold is already included in the total,

271
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: and like they're very loose with like live. You know,

272
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: it says live sometimes when that shit is not live.

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: But anyways, I have that thought every four years where

274
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, they should make it easier, Like someone should

275
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: just have like a hacked together unofficial web should be

276
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: that guy.

277
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: I'm seeing it happen.

278
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it happen, but I'm also not the sort

279
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: of person who remembers to do that.

280
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: Thing I was thinking that about the Olympics in general,

281
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: is like it's really cool to be able to see

282
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: all of these sports that maybe you don't regularly have

283
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: access to or aren't popularized in the same way during

284
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: those four years, and to be able to like get

285
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: really into like I'm not out here like watching two

286
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: hundred meter race, you know what I mean, Like I'm

287
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: not out here watching synchronized swimming, even though there may

288
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: be events, but it makes me want to go to

289
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: more events in between, because it does give you an

290
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: appreciation for all of these different techniques and mental fortitude

291
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: that all of these different athletes have to have.

292
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: You're fucking bonkers, like the way they're able to suspend

293
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: themselves in the water like and just do whatever they

294
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: want with their body, like in time with one another

295
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: is really uh.

296
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: And the timing of it because I don't remember water, Like,

297
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: how do you hear the beat? Like you just counting?

298
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: Like that's crazy, that's raw dogging beats in rhythm. That's right,

299
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: that's I don't understand that.

300
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, their heads are underwater, so they can't know.

301
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: They're just like kind of tracking one another. The Yeah,

302
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: I learned something about an athlete, and then if somebody

303
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: walked into the room, I act like I've always known

304
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: that thing about them. I'm like, oh, yeah, she's she's

305
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: she's the best. She would actually win the four hundred

306
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: hurdles if the other girls weren't even jumping over hurdles.

307
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: That the term repage like I knew what it meant

308
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: this whole Yeah, like a little the the isn't it?

309
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: The the repasage rounds where they like it was like

310
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: the rescue rounds for like the track runs qualifying and

311
00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: I think.

312
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: I watched it usually without much audio.

313
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I had to listen to the commentary because some

314
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: of it was so fun like watching Noah Eagle. Noah

315
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: Eagle and Dwayne Wade comment on things was so fun.

316
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because.

317
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 2: Dayne Wade was like, I'm a Hooper and no Eagles

318
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: be really serious. They were great. I loved it. But

319
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: it was like the right dynamic.

320
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. They the basketball was you know we I think

321
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the last time we recorded the Serbia game was happening.

322
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Both the Serbia game and the France game for the

323
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: US basketball were like high points for sports fandom for me.

324
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: Those were really fun games.

325
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

326
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: It really felt like they, like the US was like, okay,

327
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: let me just like relax a little bit, and then

328
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: they had to like amp themselves up and be like

329
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: we're not going to be disrespected. Like Seth Curry like

330
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: turned it to turbo mode the last game.

331
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Miles said it as the Serbia game was going on,

332
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and then a lot of people have since come to this,

333
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: but it really was like an Avengers film, Like it

334
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, they were losing and then just just

335
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: in time and like on command, everybody's very special super

336
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: power like came out and they were able to like

337
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: do their thing. But yeah, Steph Curry, who had been

338
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: not great in the Olympics up to those last two

339
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: games was so so awesome. Was like really, you know,

340
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: proved that he's the greatest shooter of all time, greatest

341
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: shot maker of all time. The three he hit where

342
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: he had like two people on him and he was

343
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: like fading away and just like looked like he flung

344
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: it up.

345
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: Those those like pictures were insane. If you've seen stills

346
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: from it.

347
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Webbing Ama like trying to block it. Yeah.

348
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: And the French commentators on that were like, Steph Curry

349
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: the devil, stuph Curry is done, He's hurting us, He's

350
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: doing it. They calling him the devil and saying he was.

351
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: Hurting the French. I do enjoy like that. That's something

352
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: that I've I still remember when he went off like

353
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: early in his career against Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City Thunder,

354
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: and somebody was just like, Steph got a demon, that's all.

355
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: That's the only And I've always remember that because that

356
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: does It's one of those things like sometimes my kids

357
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: will have a temper tantrum like this where I'm like, oh,

358
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: I understand exactly why people believed in Satan before, you know,

359
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: like when when before like we knew science and psychology,

360
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: and like I feel like Steph Curry is the other reason,

361
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: like something yeah, like if awesome ande do that like

362
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: two hundred years ago, you would definitely have to at least,

363
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that they could couldn't withstand like

364
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: a boiling body of water or something.

365
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: All those Salem witches were just like really good at track,

366
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

367
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they're just like damn, did you see the

368
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: vert on her day?

369
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: We're just synchronized swimmers and it.

370
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Took out some of her greatest athletes. And then of course,

371
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean there's also the really cute Chinese silver medalist

372
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: and rhythmic gymnastics who saw the Italians doing the like

373
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: bite the metal with the side of the mouth thing

374
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and then was like made an audible like oh and

375
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: then bit like put it in her mouth like a

376
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: cookie or like a pacifier or something that really cute.

377
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 2: I love watching the metal ceremonies because it's afterwards and

378
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: like everybody is like just so excited to be up there.

379
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: And then like even watching the women's like weightlifting, it

380
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: just looked so beautiful. I love watching women just like

381
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: hug each other on the podium.

382
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: I love the hugs. The hugs are humans crave hugs.

383
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: We crave like contact with one another. Uh. And it's

384
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: like you see it in athletics, Like you see it

385
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: when like somebody's going to the free throw line in

386
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: basketball and like they have to touch every other member

387
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: of their team's hand before they shoot and after they shoot,

388
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: and like they've done studies where that actually helps.

389
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: Like it's like improv. It's like I got your back

390
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: on improv where right before you go on stage you

391
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: pat each other on the back and you're like, I

392
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: got your back, I got your back, I got your back.

393
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only NBA teams the US men's basketball did

394
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: zip zops app also, Yeah.

395
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: You could tell they were really in tune. That's what

396
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: one of their times that timeout was for. That would

397
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: be such a fun uh like Patch Adams like like

398
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: because I know Seth Crey has his show that's out,

399
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: but it'd be so funny if that's like they were,

400
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: there's a coach trying to get who was in improv,

401
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: who's trying to get them? That's a team.

402
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like a ten lasso with an improv coach

403
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: coaching in the NBA.

404
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's uh, the only two uh moments that I

405
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: will say didn't happen is Jordan Chiles is still Lebronze medalist,

406
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: and nobody dunked on Lebron and we can just move on,

407
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, we can just keep.

408
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: Going Lebron he was trying to take a charge. I

409
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: feel like I know it over.

410
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: It didn't happen.

411
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: People like this is worse than nine to eleven. I know, it's.

412
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 2: Dunk denialists.

413
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was doing. He was so good that whole game.

414
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: He's like Lebron has gone up a whole new level

415
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: in my mind, Like I've always been a huge Lebron

416
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: stand but like what he was doing. Some of the

417
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: passes he was throwing throwing were so cool, and he

418
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: did it all with like a gray, old old ass

419
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: man beard. I know, I love.

420
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy that he's playing with his son. That's insane

421
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: that like, that's how old he is, and he's been

422
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: this good for this long.

423
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: It's bonkers, all right. And then of course there was

424
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Rey gun Uh doctor Rachel Gunn I think is her name.

425
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: She So I've heard it said a bunch of times

426
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: that they should let an average person compete in every

427
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: Olympic event for context, they finally did it by accident

428
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: in breakdancing. It did not go the way I would

429
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: have expected. The yeah, I don't know, hopefully you got

430
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: to see this Australian breakdancer before they like pulled all

431
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: the clips off social I think there's still some floating around.

432
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: Mostly it is people taking a video of their TV

433
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: and just laughing.

434
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: She basically was just like there were serious breakdancers, and

435
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: then she looked like she was just making fun of them.

436
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: She looked like she was from Alabi's Most Wanted. Like

437
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: it was this white, thirty six year old PhD woman

438
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: who was I guess trying to prove a point, which

439
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: is the whitest shit ever is to go into a

440
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: space created by black culture and then act like you

441
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: know more about it because you're being an academic about

442
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: it and not appreciating the culture.

443
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: It just it really seemed like someone was like making

444
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: fun like my, you know uncle, who's like breakdancing that

445
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a sport, Like was watch breakdance and then

446
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah I can do that too, this

447
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: is you or like the comparison I saw a lot

448
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: of people make is to like a five year old

449
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: immediately after watching an actual breakdancer, like yeah, be like,

450
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we'll check this out. Like that's kind of

451
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: what it felt like.

452
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: The crazy thing is she got through like all the

453
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: trials and everything, and so it just like I don't

454
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: understand like what she was trying to prove or what

455
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: her message was. And the thing is like I don't

456
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: want to give air to it, Like I don't want

457
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: to understand it. I'm mad that she's famous. I'm mad

458
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: that she let people are like she's like this is

459
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: such a like a beautiful, like a fun moment, like

460
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: it made it the Olympics accessible. No, it's like demeaning

461
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: to break dancers. It's I think, to media to like

462
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 2: black culture, Like I don't I'm I'm just like pissed

463
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: that that spot was taken by her.

464
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. It it really reminded me of this Naked Gun

465
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: umpire scene like where he like goes under cover as

466
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: an umpire and like doesn't know the rules of baseball

467
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: and it's just like kind of making it up as

468
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: he goes along. Like yeah, I think roy Wood Junior

469
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: made that comparison. The confidence, the utter ineptitude just to

470
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: an amazing combination. It's probably bad for breakdancing. I think

471
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: you're right, Like it was the fact that that was

472
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: the thing that Kate people took away from break dancing

473
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: rather than like the gold medal winner is a bummer.

474
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: At the same time, it was incredibly entertaining. So yeah,

475
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. And and it looks like breakdancing is

476
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: not going to be back in la unfortunately.

477
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: So this white lady like took it away.

478
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: So they had already made that decision at a time.

479
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I blame ray Gun. Yeah she didn't even

480
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: like she just wore the Australian like warm up that

481
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: they like gave all the Olympic athletes. It was a

482
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: it was a wild look.

483
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: It felt like she stumbled into it for sure.

484
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it felt like someone woke her up that

485
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: morning was like you have to break dance. What it's like, Yeah,

486
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: here's a video of somebody else doing it. You need

487
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: to be out there in fifteen minutes. Anyways, Uh, the

488
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: NBC is still trying to make Jimmy Fallon happen. That

489
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: was the other kind of bummer thing. But other than that,

490
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: it's just so I don't know, did not need like

491
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: reaction shots of Jimmy Fallon during like these super iconic

492
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: basketball moments, like Steph Curry hit that shot, and then

493
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: the NBC's like cutaway to Jimmy Fallon's reaction shot, like,

494
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's.

495
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: Like doing like he's he's doing like a song with

496
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: the roots on the side. He's like he's doing bits.

497
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah. And then they had him like narrating

498
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: the closing ceremonies and just kind of like fucking up

499
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the vibes. He asked Katie Ledecki if she was going

500
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: to fly home or swim home, and she was like, sorry,

501
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that, and he was just like we

502
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: just all we love you so much the respect that

503
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 1: he bailed on the joke. Anyways, all right, let's take

504
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll check in with

505
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign and other news stories.

506
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, and we're back and back back

507
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: to real life.

508
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: No more, no more burying ourselves in the Olympics.

509
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

510
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: Time to so that there's still a presidential election coming up.

511
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Apparently a couple updates on that front. Trump's campaign was

512
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: hacked by Iran and you hate.

513
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: To do it, do they just hand over documents.

514
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Right, somebody just emailed them and asked for them. They're

515
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: according to the Trump campaign, they were hacked by Iran

516
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: and issued a statement. It sounded like so weirdly familiar.

517
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't I can't put my finger on why it

518
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: sounds so familiar. But they were saying these documents were

519
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States,

520
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: intended to interfere with the twenty twenty four election, and

521
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: so chaos through our throughout our democratic process. You'd think

522
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: they would have like done something to like put it

523
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: in Trump's voice, so it wouldn't sound exactly like the

524
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton campaign when they were.

525
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: Hacked by Russia, like so wild.

526
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's.

527
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: Like when Milania stole Michelle Obama's.

528
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: Speech, still my favorite speech, the best. She just like

529
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: removed some words, but like it was no longer grammatical.

530
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: I think politicians should be able to do covers. I

531
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: think that's fair. Yeah, yeah, if we're still talking about

532
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: the same issue, we should still be able to use

533
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: the same speeches.

534
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: The hackers apparently send a shitload of documents to Politico,

535
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: and while Politico hasn't published anything. They did give us

536
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: the most appetizing little morsel in a description of what

537
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: was in the documents, they said, one is a quote

538
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: research dossier the campaign apparently conducted on JD Vance.

539
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: It's just a bunch of testimonies from couches.

540
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: That's right, Like there's pizzas in there. What if they're like, look,

541
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: we have nothing to base this on. It's he never

542
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: wrote it, but the guy has the vibes of somebody

543
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: who fus couches. We can't explain it, but just beware

544
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: if one person suggests that, even remotely suggests that on

545
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: social media, Uh, it's going to catch on. Like if

546
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: their intelligence was that.

547
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: Good, it's like the Batman dossier on the rest of

548
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: the Justice League. But it's just like a fire all

549
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: full of couch.

550
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: Couch couch shit. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it would

551
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: be boring since they did end up choosing him, so

552
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: apparently whatever they found was not so it was not

553
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: enough to scare them off. The advance trant.

554
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: That like, the only people that are competent maybe put

555
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: together put it together. And then Trump didn't read it.

556
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: He just was like, what does my son want me

557
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: to do?

558
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it also apparently has vetting of the VP candidates

559
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: who didn't make it, like Marco Rubio. So uh, should

560
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: be interesting if that ever drops. But just a quick

561
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: vibes check for the race. It feels like, and again

562
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: you do hate to see it, folks. Feels like Trump

563
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and his supporters are really struggling right now. We're seeing

564
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 1: a lot of energy for Harris and Walls and a

565
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: lot of responses for Trump and team that seem pretty

566
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: out of line with what is actually happening. You know,

567
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: their Harris. So apparently Harris had twelve thousand people turn

568
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: out for her rallies and Philly in Wisconsin, fifteen thousand

569
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Vegas had twelve thousand people inside UNLV's arena

570
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: and they had to like turn four thousand people away

571
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: because they were getting heatstroked because it was one hundred

572
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: and nine degrees outside.

573
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 2: Some Waltz had to stop his speech in multiple cities

574
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: and be like, someone, get that person water.

575
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: Like a fucking beetle. Like it was like beatle Mania,

576
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: Like people are fainting in the front row and he's

577
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: having to like point them out. Yeah, but meanwhile Trump

578
00:33:54,600 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: is like launching conspiracy theories about their crowd size, claiming

579
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: like the images and report about Kamala having big crowds

580
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: or like digital manipulations. He like posted a photograph of

581
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: like this massive crowd outside of air Force too, like

582
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: where you know, on the tarmac, and it does look

583
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: altered like it just like the picture is like a

584
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: little crisp. I don't know if like they you know,

585
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: did some touch up work on it. But he was like,

586
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: you know, just with it. He said, look, we caught

587
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: it with a fake quote crowd. There was nobody there,

588
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: and like all you would have to do is search

589
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: on the internet for any want like a video of it,

590
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: and you would have been able to find that this

591
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: was in fact by photograph from fifteen thousand people showing

592
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: up in Detroit for them.

593
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: It also is like he's using the same arguments that

594
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: they're using in order to try to boost the numbers

595
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: around his crowds, which is he's saying like, oh, they

596
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: turned them away. I don't want to turn them away,

597
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: but they said they had to turn them away for

598
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: his rallies, And it's like what are they can turn

599
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: like four more people away that many people outside or

600
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: like jd Vance had a rally but it was mostly

601
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: like press people and it was just like because nobody

602
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: wanted to be around them. So it's just like super awkward.

603
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: But it's crazy how the ratings invigorate Trump, Like that's

604
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: clearly his motivator for everything. That like spices up his attacks,

605
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: Like yeah, he gets some like it really upsets him

606
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: that she is having these this energy and this crowd

607
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 2: and these donations and things, and he's still stuck on Biden.

608
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: He's still posting about like Biden.

609
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, fan fishing is going to like take the nomination

610
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: back at the DNC. He Yeah, he just can't. He

611
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: can't see the appeal of Kamala Harris and his supporters,

612
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: like his most ardent supporters can't see the appeal of

613
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris because they're racist, and so they can't deal

614
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: with it. Like they're really having a hard time dealing

615
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: like making sense of it. Like they see the massive crowd,

616
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: they see people excited, and they're like those people can't exist.

617
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: It does remind me of like how I think a

618
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: lot of like live brained people greeted the rise of

619
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Trump in like twenty sixteen, where they were like there's

620
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: no way that many people are into him because I

621
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: find him abhorrent, you know, and because I thought racism

622
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: was cured when we elected Obama, you know, so like

623
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't to deal with the crowd size because they

624
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: just they were like, well, now he said something racist,

625
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: so certainly this will be the end of his campaign.

626
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, no, the racism is the point,

627
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: and that's why there's so many people there because America racist.

628
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: Did you see that video where he called Kamala He's

629
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: like in a golf cart and he called her a

630
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: fucking bitch.

631
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: No, do we have a video now? I know that there,

632
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: it's been reported. So I want to talk about that

633
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: New York Times article because that is a banger from

634
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Haberman and co. At the New York Times. They yeah,

635
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: it just talked about like what they call the worst

636
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: couple weeks, the worst few weeks of his campaign, and

637
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: one of the one of the details was that he

638
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: was but was heard calling her a bitch behind the scenes.

639
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: But I did not know that. We had him on

640
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: wax doing it.

641
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, my computer is frosen right now, so I can't

642
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: navigate to it. But there is there is a video

643
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: of him, and it's like clear that he didn't know

644
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: he was being recorded, because it was kind of like

645
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: at waste level and someone outside of a golf cart

646
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: is recording him, and he's in it and he's talking

647
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: about how great he did at the debate, and then

648
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 2: he calls Kamala a fucking bitch wow, very casually, and

649
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: it's just like sometimes, like, you know, he is a

650
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: bigot and a fascist and all of these things. But

651
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: then we kind of kind of remove him from like

652
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: that personhood of like that person that you see in

653
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: your daily life who that actually has these like really dismissive,

654
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: dehumanizing feelings, and then you see a clip of him

655
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: be so casually disgusting and you're just like, oh, yeah,

656
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 2: this is like a real person and this embodies like

657
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: real people that I have interacted with in my life,

658
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: and it gives you like a visceral reaction, right like

659
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: anger and fear and discussed with how this person actually

660
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: views women, how they actually view black and brown people

661
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 2: and immigrants at everything.

662
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: You're just like, oh, yeah, yeah, there was just a

663
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: poll that said that people actually trust her more on

664
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: the economy than Trump. And I don't know the strength

665
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: of the policizes we can, but the way it was

666
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: agreed on the right was like, well, now we have

667
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: proof that they're lying. And weirdly, the poll said that

668
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: people trust Trump to make them richer, but trust Harris

669
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: to run the US economy better. And the New York

670
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Post is like, well, well that doesn't make any sense

671
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: at all, and like not not making room for the

672
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: idea that people might recognize that just like tax breaks

673
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: are actually really bad for the economy overall, like if

674
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: there's no taxation and is just doing the worst thing

675
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: that everybody kind of secretly selfishly wants but doesn't actually

676
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: benefit like the overall running of the country. Yeah, I

677
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: don't know, or maybe the polls bullshit.

678
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: I think the American people hold different contradictory opposing thoughts

679
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: at the same time, a lot like how I think

680
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 2: there was some pull on like how they like view

681
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: or treat the border, like they want the border security,

682
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: but simultaneously if you're like, hey, this immigrant came through

683
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 2: for this reason, They're like, oh, yeah, I want them here.

684
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: You know, Like the people have a hard time conceptualizing

685
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: how policy affects them in a very real and day

686
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: to day way, and so they can hold these opposing

687
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: thoughts where they think, like the economy is this like

688
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 2: big thing, but Trump's going to get me rich, you know.

689
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: Right yeah yeah, and also they're incorrect about Trump getting

690
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: you rich but yeah the day, yeah, like he's the

691
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: rich money guy though, so he's going to make me rich.

692
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: But uh anyways, uh yeah, I want to get to

693
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: this New York Times article Haberman and co reporting on

694
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: the Worst couple Weeks. It opens with him at a

695
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: meeting with some of his wealthiest donors from this iteration

696
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: of the Business Plot twenty twenty four, you know, because

697
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: it is straight up like if he wins, like I know,

698
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: like we're tired of being like this is the most

699
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: important election, Like we're really fucked like he with what

700
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: we've seen from the Supreme Court, like he's never going

701
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: to like leave office unless he's dead. Like that's where really,

702
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: that's it. So but yeah, so we've got like guys

703
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: like Bill Ackman, Omid Malik, who names I didn't know

704
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: before this article, but I do feel like we should

705
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: name names because these people are fucking monsters. They're all

706
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: like his key benefactors. And so they open this meeting.

707
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: It's after Harris has joined and like kind of shot

708
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: up in the polls, and they're like, obviously this has

709
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: been going not great. How do we pivot? I'm assuming

710
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: they said pivot, because like business guys love to talk

711
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: about pivoting, and Trump's opener was, well, we got to

712
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: stop the steal, which like that's not even this election.

713
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: And then next he like bragged about how hard he

714
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: nailed the National Association of Black Journalists panel, and they

715
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: were like, what the fuck are you talking about? And

716
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: then like and sort of less vibe, more terrifying news

717
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: From this article, he also described the assassination attempts as

718
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: potentially the Democrats trying to kill him.

719
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: When it was a Republican and also we've all forgotten

720
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: about that.

721
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: It's crazy how quickly that just stopped being I remember

722
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: like in the immediate aftermath, we were like, well, this

723
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: changes everything. And then some people are like, or are

724
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: we going to forget about this? Because the news cycle

725
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: is so fucking crazy and just the turnover.

726
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 2: Just the news cycle, it's him not being good at

727
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: messaging or branding or like using that as an opportunity

728
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 2: for his campaign to pivot from I'm a business guy,

729
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: to pivot from all the negative.

730
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Thank you saying pivot because I need that.

731
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 2: He wasn't synchronicity ing with the Democrats after the assassination attempt,

732
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 2: so it's like, Okay, Trump's gonna trump, so we're just

733
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: going to react to that. Yeah, yeah, a lot of

734
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: what Democrats have been doing.

735
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: So we're still waiting to see if he turns on JD.

736
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: Vance But uh, you know, during during his mar A

737
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: Lago Jazz sessh at the end of last week, he

738
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: said JD's doing a great job. But according to this article,

739
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, when someone was like, they're calling us weird,

740
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: he was like, uh, they're saying that about JD, not me. Yeah,

741
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: fucking love. He's just so quick to throw people under

742
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: the bus. But yeah, just generally it feels like he's

743
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: in the position of wishing things were different. He wants

744
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: it to be one way, but it's the other way.

745
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: To quote Marlowe Stanfield, get in.

746
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: Line, buddy. We're all we're all like that.

747
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: I know, but he's like, really, he's usually not this transparently,

748
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: Like where where that the post where he like wrote

749
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: the fan fiction about Biden. He's like, Biden is so mad,

750
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: he must be and he's gonna like come back and

751
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: take the nomination back, and then he's gonna challenge me

752
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: to a debate, but the I'm gonna beat him up

753
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: in front of all everybody, and it's gonna be tough

754
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna love me. Like it just felt so

755
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: weird and desperate, along with the like claiming that her

756
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: crowds are photo shopped and they're not, and then like

757
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: the only rally that he's held is in Bozeman, Montana,

758
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: and he played my Heart Will go On at the

759
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: Montana rally.

760
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: This was and then Celindion's people had to be like,

761
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: we did not give him approval for that, stop immediately,

762
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: and also why that saw.

763
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: Why a Titanic song as your campaign is famously floundering,

764
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: like like.

765
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold onto the door and I'm shoving JD

766
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: under the water.

767
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he also like canceled ABC debate and

768
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: then reversed when people made fun of him for being scared.

769
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: He just feels scared and desperate and like he's like

770
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: just once wants everybody to look at him and wants

771
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: to change how this all is going. And I'm sure

772
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: you know right now the media is like at a

773
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 1: full one eighty from the stories they were writing about

774
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: a month ago. And there are plenty of Trump advisors

775
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: behind the scenes who are like, this is exactly what

776
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: we predicted the day she replaced Biden. It will last

777
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: through the DNC and then the energy will be over

778
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: and maybe they're right, Like the Kamala thing does feel

779
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of energy right now, just based

780
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: on the fact that people are so happy that Biden

781
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: dropped out, you know, and like people like the idea

782
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: of her. But I don't know, what.

783
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 2: What do you think it's gonna I think it's gonna

784
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: last because I think like white women in this country

785
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: have a lot of buying power. I think that's part

786
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: of the reason that like Taylor Swift is one of

787
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: the largest artists of our time, and I feel like

788
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 2: they have been really activated in a way where they

789
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: can advocate for women and women of color, like they

790
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: feel like they can take that on their mantle, you

791
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And so and you know, Brian

792
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: is saying, oh, she's a cop though, but like she

793
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: white women love that women love a manager or a cop,

794
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: you know.

795
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: I see every eighties movie with Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson.

796
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: White women love a cop.

797
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: White women love a cop, and they love someone who's

798
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 2: gonna girl boss like she did when she shut down

799
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 2: the Gaza protesters in Michigan and was like I'm speaking now.

800
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: So they it's very it's very bought into by a

801
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: certain demographic that I think will have the energy to

802
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: carry it through the election.

803
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we will see. She hasn't really been with

804
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: the media. So that's like the there's some Tim Wall's

805
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: stuff about his military record that the Republicans are anytime

806
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: a Democrat like has a military record, the Democrat, the

807
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to attack the shit out of it,

808
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: Like John Kerry was like certified war hero, and they

809
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: somehow turned that into a liability. Tim Walls just served

810
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: in the military, and they're going hard after him. They

811
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: got somebody who had served with him to come out

812
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: and be like, he's totally fabricated everything. They Yeah, I

813
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: mean it's like I'm the Daily Beast, but I haven't

814
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: seen it pick up a ton of traction. But I

815
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: do think that is going to be happening until the

816
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: day after the election, Like they're going to be going

817
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: hard off that just because they always always do because

818
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: they feel like there's just something about democrats at their

819
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: core that like people don't trust on military stuff, so

820
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: they just like and you can always find the military

821
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: is so big, you can always find somebody who's going

822
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: to say somebody's like full of shit, or that they

823
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: were lying about their war record, and the military is

824
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: secretive enough that you can't like point to documents to

825
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: like backup shit.

826
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: So I think they're also going to do that about anything, right, Like,

827
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be like football's gay now,

828
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, because he was a coach.

829
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: Right.

830
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 2: I think they're just gonna be like, we hate sports,

831
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: we hate Yeah, they're just going to be willing to

832
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: give up whatever for this cult.

833
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. The So, the other mainstream narrative that's kicking up

834
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: about Kamala Harris is not the Gaza stuff really. I

835
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: mean there there's some references to it, but it's not

836
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: the main story. But the thing that is kicking up

837
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: is that she has not been very like, she hasn't

838
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: had any interviews, she hasn't done at press conference, and

839
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, it feels like she's going to have

840
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: to start doing something.

841
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: But then on the rally, trail though, right.

842
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been just doing appearances and ads that have

843
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: been I also feel like this is just the way

844
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: things are now. Like Trump does interviews with only people

845
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: who are going to glaze him, you know, like they're

846
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: just like he doesn't do like hard interviews except for

847
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: you know occasionally like that the panel. But she's like,

848
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: I feel like there's also you know, people are terrified

849
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: of a second Trump administration who are supporting her and

850
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: probably are just like or don't do interviews, like you know,

851
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: we don't want you to fuck up, so like don't

852
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: so just like staying your lane and like let's keep

853
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: building up the good vibes. And so she I think

854
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, we'll probably put together an interview at

855
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: some point, but by the end of the month. But yeah, she.

856
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 2: Probably wants to have more control over it.

857
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. And so like we are in a new era.

858
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: Like there's an AP article about it where they're like,

859
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, the like Biden didn't do many press availabilities Obama.

860
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: Like I remember during Obama's administration, they like the media

861
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: was like it's crazy how little like access we get here.

862
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: And that's because we live in a new era, like

863
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: social media, like they the politicians stopped really needing the

864
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: mainstream media, Like they used to have to like trade

865
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: access for access for favorable coverage, and it was like

866
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: a whole like game. And now they're like nobody gives

867
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: a fuck what you think, Like you're not you're not

868
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: Obama pro.

869
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: Creator albums and musicians out on his own. He doesn't

870
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: need to channel that through a sixty minutes interview.

871
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they don't have to like do favors of

872
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: granting the interview in exchange for like positive coverage anymore

873
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: because no media, mainstream media figures as powerful as they

874
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: used to be. But all that said, I don't think

875
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't think Kamalak can like coast through November without

876
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: any like media availabilities. So but I think she'll she'll

877
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: be fine. She always seems like she's doing she she

878
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: seems like she's like really stepped up, like since Biden

879
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: fucked that debate so badly, Like she all of her

880
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: appearances have been like she's been really locked in. She's

881
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: been like giving remarkably straight answers, which has in the

882
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: past been a difficulty. I think she's I think been

883
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: really good in like media availabilities. She hasn't had many,

884
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: She hasn't had any since she took over. But I

885
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: think like some switches flipped and she's like ready for

886
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: all this shit. So I'm not that worried about it,

887
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: but we shall see.

888
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: I would love I would love some answers on Gaza.

889
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all I would say, assuming that's one of

890
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: the reasons that she hasn't given an interview. All right,

891

Speaker 1: Paula v thank you so much for joining today. Where
