Speaker 1: You're watching anything good, watching season two of Shrinking. You're
Speaker 1: watching the penguin, the big tall one, Pestal, Pestal, You're
Speaker 1: just watching videos of that dude.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I love I love that guy. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna start telling people I'm watching the penguin. I just
Speaker 2: mean the big tall penguin. Yeah, he's so tall. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess. So, all right, that's probably something.
Speaker 2: That's that's something.
Speaker 3: It took me like halfway through that to realize, you
Speaker 3: guys are trying to get a cold open.
Speaker 4: It's hanging out with me.
Speaker 2: I'm always workshopping. Anytime I'm talking to someone, I'm workshopping
Speaker 2: cold open material.
Speaker 4: You and Lorne, both of you, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Hello the Internet, and welcome to season three,
Speaker 2: sixty one, Episode four of Dear Dailies. I guys stay
Speaker 2: production of iHeartRadio, America's Only Undecided podcast. We're still making
Speaker 2: up our minds. You know, Trump keeps doing these Univision
Speaker 2: women's he's reaching out to women's and we're just we're
Speaker 2: still learning. We're taking in new information, we're processing, but
Speaker 2: we just we still don't know. So the New York
Speaker 2: Times hit us up if you want to like throw
Speaker 2: a viewing party for us or something like that, like
Speaker 2: you do for other undecided voters. We our phones. The
Speaker 2: lines are open. This is a podcast where we take
Speaker 2: a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. And it is Friday,
Speaker 2: October eighteenth, twenty twenty four. My name is Jack O'Brien
Speaker 2: aka put uncle dunk duot dude, Put uncle dunk d
Speaker 2: put uncle dunk. Do that that one courtesy of Hercule
Speaker 2: puro ghe progi pracule perogi on the discord. Great name
Speaker 2: uh in reference to peduncle, one of the great words
Speaker 2: that I've learned in the past week. It means the
Speaker 2: main stem. We learned it in reference to pumpkins having
Speaker 2: a big old fat peduncle stems that. That's why farmers
Speaker 2: are like, no, we can't, You can't come to the
Speaker 2: actual pumpkin patch. They got peduncles that you're not gonna
Speaker 2: be able to deal with. You can't deal with all
Speaker 2: this peduncle. So that's why they just like have pumpkin
Speaker 2: patches and parking lots now where they just like buy
Speaker 2: pumpkins from Kroger and put them in a parking lot.
Speaker 2: But anyways, I just love that word. My main takeaway,
Speaker 2: I don't really give a shit that they aren't fake
Speaker 2: punkin patches, but I do give a shit about the
Speaker 2: word peduncle, and I like it. It sounds like a
Speaker 2: description of a big, old dumb guy with a big
Speaker 2: butt or something.
Speaker 5: I enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I am thrilled to be joined once again by
Speaker 2: a hilarious stand up comedian, writer, actor, improviser, the co
Speaker 2: host with the mo host. You can catch her on
Speaker 2: stand up stages everywhere. Check her website at the monthly
Speaker 2: Facial Recognition comedy show, which she also produces. It's pobay.
Speaker 4: They pay of Paradise and put up a pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2: They did, and they did, and that is America's biggest problem.
Speaker 2: According to me, an undecided.
Speaker 3: Voter, I'm a political. I'm a political about pumpkin patches.
Speaker 3: I just don't like to think about it.
Speaker 4: It doesn't really affect me, you know.
Speaker 2: So how are you doing, Paula.
Speaker 4: I'm good. I was recount the horrors of Terrifier three,
Speaker 4: and now that you will in my eyes.
Speaker 2: So we did a story the last time you were
Speaker 2: on that. Terrifier three is the number one movie in America.
Speaker 2: It destroyed the other killer clown movie Joker foll Joker too,
Speaker 2: and did yeah, Joker, that's right, and you went and
Speaker 2: saw it and you said it was.
Speaker 3: I don't I'm dedicate my next therapy session to just
Speaker 3: talking about it because like I don't understand, like a
Speaker 3: lot of people walked out and the ends, like the
Speaker 3: entire time. Juckies was like, we can leave if you
Speaker 3: need to leave, and I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was it was definitely the most gory thing I've
Speaker 3: ever seen, but beyond that, it was like fucked up
Speaker 3: like but also like and terrifying. It was fucked up,
Speaker 3: bro like super fucked up, but like all so like
Speaker 3: terrifying but also like funny in parts, And I was like,
Speaker 3: what is I it's you.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't tell anyone to go see it.
Speaker 4: But also I will never forget it.
Speaker 2: There's unforgettable. You do sound exactly like the person they
Speaker 2: interview in a in a commercial for like a horror movie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was shaken. I was I'll never forget it. They
Speaker 2: just like hut out the parts where you're like why
Speaker 2: are they doing this?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, where you seem like existentially troubled.
Speaker 4: I have a lot to think about, honestly, you do.
Speaker 2: I mean you also like mentioned that the killer clown
Speaker 2: in Terrifier three, you were like, I was actually really
Speaker 2: impressed with their clowning. Yeah, deep clowning.
Speaker 3: Not like they definitely, I'd be very surprised if they
Speaker 3: weren't like a fully trained clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they trained at that school in Paris, where.
Speaker 3: Like like I'm not even kidding, Like, yeah, that's like
Speaker 3: the best clown work I've seen in a movie in
Speaker 3: like a long time.
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of some of the best clown work, worse
Speaker 2: rip to be joined by a very funny stand up
Speaker 2: comedian and writer out of New York City who's written
Speaker 2: for The Young Ing and Colbert. You can see a
Speaker 2: stand up special on his YouTube channel, Django Industries. It's
Speaker 2: Django God.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hello, thank you for allowing me to bring my
Speaker 5: clownings you guys. It's funny how clown is just like
Speaker 5: probably I'm sure you can tell the La scene. It's
Speaker 5: become such a huge like faction of like the comedy scene.
Speaker 5: Now there's like, yeah, it's like a clown aissance is
Speaker 5: happening right now.
Speaker 4: I do want to.
Speaker 3: I want to give credit to Chad Damiani because he
Speaker 3: is like the link between clowning in LA and stand
Speaker 3: up and so like there is more more mesh between
Speaker 3: that those worlds.
Speaker 5: Now, would you say, is a scene dominated by roving
Speaker 5: gangs of like bully clowns pile out of the car
Speaker 5: and like surround you town to where.
Speaker 3: Kick your ass while juggling, I would honestly be more
Speaker 3: terrified of roving gangs of male comedians.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's right, Jo, I didn't mean. I was
Speaker 2: just saying clown in the way that a high school
Speaker 2: bully would call someone a clown. When we're saying you
Speaker 2: speaking of clowns, This next clown has written for a
Speaker 2: cold bet.
Speaker 4: Okay, so a more demeaning way.
Speaker 5: I just want to make a clown professional and personal clown.
Speaker 2: That's right, clown.
Speaker 5: It doesn't make the audience line.
Speaker 4: That is something I will say. I want to like
Speaker 4: see more.
Speaker 3: This is so stupid, but I want to see more
Speaker 3: clowning because because I do respect it as an art form.
Speaker 3: I back to like all, like all types of performances,
Speaker 3: I think it depends on the individual performance whether it
Speaker 3: could be great or not. But I want to see
Speaker 3: because I do know that sometimes clowning, like people often
Speaker 3: fall into the thing of like getting naked or eating
Speaker 3: crazy shit or doing like body stuff.
Speaker 4: And I'm like yeah, and.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, Like, I want to see more shades
Speaker 3: of clouding before to educate.
Speaker 2: About those shades of clowning. So I clearly have a
Speaker 2: lot to learn. I didn't know about the nudity or
Speaker 2: the muck bang class. Jacks.
Speaker 4: Jack's in now, he's all in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's now. I'm back. All right, Jango, We're going
Speaker 2: to get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 2: a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a
Speaker 2: few of the things we're talking about today. So this
Speaker 2: election at this point, like nobody knows what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: It's like watching a weather report for a day three
Speaker 2: weeks in the future. We're just like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: could be really bad or not. Seems to be Like
Speaker 2: we talked on yesterday's trending about like this polling article
Speaker 2: from the New York Times where they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it could like so it could be like a big
Speaker 2: miss towards the Republicans, or the opposite could be true. Also,
Speaker 2: and we're just and these were like they're experts. So anyways,
Speaker 2: one thing we do know for sure is it's going
Speaker 2: to be a complete shit show at the polls. Election.
Speaker 2: Poll workers already being kind of targeted by Trump conspiracy theories,
Speaker 2: and the same Trump conspiracy theories that are similar to
Speaker 2: the conspiracy theories that have like militias pulling guns on
Speaker 2: FEMA workers recently. So it's just like a gnarly situation
Speaker 2: that poll workers are walking into. And we are going
Speaker 2: to try to engage the help of unpaid teenagers. Apparently
Speaker 2: that is a big part of the plan, is getting
Speaker 2: high school students tovolunteer to do pole working because they
Speaker 2: can't find enough people who are willing to do it
Speaker 2: not for a college credit. So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: We will talk about just Trump's recent run of appearances
Speaker 2: where his brain appears to be melting like cotton candy
Speaker 2: that someone just dumped a diet coke onto. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about the headquarters of the place where he makes his
Speaker 2: six figure watches. That there's a place a company that's
Speaker 2: based in Wyoming. CNN went there and I just the
Speaker 2: physical description of the place where these watches are made
Speaker 2: is pretty incredible. So we'll talk about that, and of
Speaker 2: course we will talk about tostitos and Dorito's and how
Speaker 2: they're fighting shrinkflation, but not really all of that plenty more.
Speaker 2: But first, Jango, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 2: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 2: who you are?
Speaker 5: This is a good one that really kind of encompasses
Speaker 5: a lot of my my anxieties. But the last thing
Speaker 5: I searched for was can a radiator catch your mattress
Speaker 5: on fire? Because obviously, you know, in New York it
Speaker 5: started started to get cold finally, and the old creaky
Speaker 5: radiator started up. And the first thing I thought I
Speaker 5: was like, oh my god, I'm gonna die in the fire. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is gonna happen. So I looked up.
Speaker 4: Also, it's very New York that your mattress is basically
Speaker 4: on top of your radiator.
Speaker 5: That's the thing I could move it away with, I would
Speaker 5: sacrifice like one third of my bedroom space. So I
Speaker 5: had to carefully weigh that against whether I want to
Speaker 5: be alive or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lived in a room so small in New
Speaker 2: York that my mattress was not flat on the ground.
Speaker 2: It was like I also just like had three pieces
Speaker 2: of furniture and I probably could have only had two in.
Speaker 5: The room, you know, And so it need that big
Speaker 5: that big wood.
Speaker 2: I didn't need that globe. Yeah it was a globe
Speaker 2: and the other one was just a giant steer wheel
Speaker 2: from a ship.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's called interior design.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The heating situation in New York is so wild. It
Speaker 2: really like is the most steampunk thing that just exists
Speaker 2: in our Yeah, hot stuff goes through this pipe and
Speaker 2: the pipe is like growling at you throughout the night.
Speaker 5: It's also wild how hot it gets like at the
Speaker 5: first Like I feel like in my building that they're
Speaker 5: kind of like testing out different temperatures. First day, ninety
Speaker 5: eight degrees. Vietnam can't beat jungle just immediately, just ghost
Speaker 5: Yeah awful. So they're fine tuning at the moment. But
Speaker 5: as long as I'll die in my sleep, I'll be
Speaker 5: a happy camper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Oh this is a new one for me. So my
Speaker 5: whole life, I've been like a like an ice cream purist,
Speaker 5: Like I'm like anti gelata, anti frozen yogurt. My my
Speaker 5: thinking has always been you know, if you're gonna indulge,
Speaker 5: indulge all the way full fat. Yeah. Yeah, recently I
Speaker 5: had a nice little scoop of sorbet and brother sister,
Speaker 5: I think I might be on I might be on
Speaker 5: the Sorbet train.
Speaker 2: I think it's sort of pussy. I know, I know,
Speaker 2: I know, but you said obviously I can't.
Speaker 4: It's a very alpha male of you.
Speaker 2: I'm coming in here saying like sorbet clown.
Speaker 5: It's like it's almost it's like such like a fake
Speaker 5: food because it's just like pure.
Speaker 4: And I taste like clouds.
Speaker 5: It tastes like clouds. It has no nutritional no fat
Speaker 5: now at all. It's kind of like it's like you
Speaker 5: know when the zoo keeper will put like a like
Speaker 5: a on, like like a puppet of an animal, and
Speaker 5: I put it in the cage with the put like
Speaker 5: a ferret puppet. It's like that's like the version of
Speaker 5: ice cream I'm eating with sorbet. But I do find
Speaker 5: it quite quite light and refreshing. So that's my underrade
Speaker 5: pick of the week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's good. It does make up for any
Speaker 2: loss of fat with just being the sweetest. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: the most sugar that you can possibly concentrate into a
Speaker 2: tiny little spoon. Yea, And I appreciate it for that.
Speaker 2: That is one of the things I've learned to love
Speaker 2: about sorbet is it's it's sweeter than ice cream in
Speaker 2: some cases.
Speaker 5: In any cases, well, it's fruit fruit juice, which is
Speaker 5: already really sweet, add sugar to it.
Speaker 2: What if this was like way sweeter though, Like so
Speaker 2: it was like not even a liquid anymore, but like
Speaker 2: more gelatinous. Yeah yeah, but so wait, gelato is that
Speaker 2: a healthier alternative to ice cream? I always thought it
Speaker 2: was just softer.
Speaker 5: It's just your European and you know, as a as
Speaker 5: a red bladed American male, I naturally assume assume that
Speaker 5: it's less full, less less fatty.
Speaker 2: Right, it might not be true.
Speaker 3: Silato has four to the usual ten to twenty percent
Speaker 3: of ice cream, so it is lighter and healthier.
Speaker 5: So there's like an inject air into it to make
Speaker 5: it puffier. I guess, Okay, not for me.
Speaker 2: Nice try nice, Try Italy, but.
Speaker 3: Watch again, no poc slander against the Italians, okay, my brother?
Speaker 2: Where Italians are considered poc.
Speaker 4: Me and ariana grandi.
Speaker 2: Brandy when when it was our grandfather. It was the grandies,
Speaker 2: but now it's GRANDI. What is What's something you think
Speaker 2: is overrated?
Speaker 5: Man, I've tried for years to get on board with this,
Speaker 5: but I think I'm done with buying, nurturing and watching
Speaker 5: house plants die. I think I'm just done with plants
Speaker 5: because they just always fucking They just immediately start getting
Speaker 5: sicker and sicker. As soon as I take them home.
Speaker 5: They attract they attract bugs. When out of town, I
Speaker 5: have to have a friend over. It's just too much
Speaker 5: work and I suck at raising them. So I think
Speaker 5: might I might be out on the pandemic plant.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's I'm hearing. I'm hearing what you're saying, and
Speaker 3: I'm hearing you go, come on.
Speaker 4: Get out of here.
Speaker 3: I want anyway that you die.
Speaker 5: It's an situation. But I mean, I don't know how
Speaker 5: much more love and attention can I give these things
Speaker 5: and they just wilt. They immediately will. It's suppressing.
Speaker 2: I mean, even in the canopy jungle of your room.
Speaker 5: I know if they can't survive here, they can't they
Speaker 5: can't make it anywhere.
Speaker 3: I also feel that it might be the widely, vastly
Speaker 3: fluctuating temperatures probably killing them and also partially you at
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 2: It's like your room is like the surface of mercury.
Speaker 2: It's like it's freezing. It's zero celsius.
Speaker 5: I'm certainly not sclaiming the plan. I'm certainly not absolving myself.
Speaker 5: I've not been a good father figure to these guys. Yeah, almighty.
Speaker 5: Some of us just aren't cut out for it.
Speaker 3: Maybe you need to be like a step dad to
Speaker 3: a plant first, and then that'll ease you back it.
Speaker 4: You can adopt a plant.
Speaker 5: If I could got another household to raise the plant
Speaker 5: to maturity, then I could come in and take it
Speaker 5: to go to see baseball games. That would be ideal.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, just fostering a plant situation. Maybe you could
Speaker 2: be the friend who's watering other people's plants when they're
Speaker 2: out of town.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can dig that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You're not the step plant dad, you're the plant dad
Speaker 3: that's stepped down.
Speaker 2: That's right, right, Yeah. Yeah, plants are temperamental. I've had
Speaker 2: varying levels of success, like California. Southern California is Like
Speaker 2: I went from Missouri to New York to southern California,
Speaker 2: and I tried Missouri, and I tried to have a
Speaker 2: garden in Missouri and I was very unsuccessful. New York
Speaker 2: didn't even bother like other than like a couple of
Speaker 2: orchids that lasted a week or so, and then oh orchids.
Speaker 2: I I I am known in the orchid community. It's
Speaker 2: like an I am legend situation in the orchid community.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert for the end of that movie. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they they know about me and run when I enter
Speaker 2: a room. And then Southern You come to southern California
Speaker 2: and you just like drop an apple by accident and
Speaker 2: like a tree is growing there the next day. It's
Speaker 2: just like the most just a verdant place in the
Speaker 2: world fertile, verdant, other vocabulary words calif Right, Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I recommend moving to southern California. That might be the
Speaker 2: easiest problems.
Speaker 5: Move across the country.
Speaker 2: There, you go, that's true. It does they do love
Speaker 2: a sorbet out here because everybody's vegan.
Speaker 4: H yeah, I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 5: Actually, oh yeah.
Speaker 4: It's a nice vegan option for me.
Speaker 3: When people want to go get ice cream and I'm like,
Speaker 3: but I want to be included. We're like at a
Speaker 3: at a restaurant they have sorbet often.
Speaker 5: Yeah, its are.
Speaker 2: What are you having pre dinner?
Speaker 5: The three globes of ice? Please, I don't want to
Speaker 5: I don't want to be Let's give me three globes.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 2: back and we'll talk about the news. And we're back, like,
Speaker 2: how's everybody doing with the election? Like I'm I'm the
Speaker 2: fear is on me, I said, for like a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks now the fear is on me. I'm just
Speaker 2: like having flashbacks to twenty sixteen, reading a bunch of
Speaker 2: shit about like how the polling can go as in
Speaker 2: the past, like vastly underestimated Trump. I'm like oscillating between
Speaker 2: that and then being like, if Trump loses, maybe this
Speaker 2: is it because his brain so bad, Maybe the whole
Speaker 2: like open fascism thing will will be gone. But how
Speaker 2: are you guys feeling? Is everybody hanging in there?
Speaker 5: Feels like we really we like Blake and I we
Speaker 5: went from like six months out to three weeks out
Speaker 5: and seemed like it was it just came down the
Speaker 5: pike real quick, and I was like, oh, the rubbers
Speaker 5: being the road here, and yeah, I think I think
Speaker 5: what you're what you're talking about is like kind of
Speaker 5: my anxiety where it's like the more you read, the
Speaker 5: less calm you feel, because you just keep on getting
Speaker 5: all these like contradictory you know, op eds you see
Speaker 5: and like they'll can you know, I'm very malleable in
Speaker 5: my opinions. So like any articles like yo, like oh,
Speaker 5: Harris is a lot for Michigan, Like great, it's in
Speaker 5: the bag. We're done. And then like it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: these poles are all nonsense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan's over. Yeah, Michigan kiss, Michigan could buy assholes.
Speaker 2: It's Trump Country.
Speaker 5: The best thing I've been doing for myself is just
Speaker 5: trying to remind myself.
Speaker 2: That nobody knows anything.
Speaker 5: Nobody knows anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And by saying your opinions are very malleable, that's
Speaker 2: because you're still an undecided Like yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: Well I'm still pretty much in the bag for Cornell
Speaker 5: West h.
Speaker 2: Yeah that where did that? What happened?
Speaker 5: God damn, he's still going straw man. He can he
Speaker 5: got a victory, and uh, what's the state you can win? Alaska?
Speaker 2: Oh well that's unfortunately. So I think one of the
Speaker 2: big things that we know is going to be an issue,
Speaker 2: is the like what is going to happen at the
Speaker 2: polls on election day. This was a big concern heading
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Election, handing out comedy flyers at the election day, I will.
Speaker 2: Be barking, bring your friends, I'll bring a.
Speaker 3: QR code for my Instagram. They're going to be in line.
Speaker 5: Have assault rifle as well as that.
Speaker 2: Yeah show, that's yeah. I mean that you'll fit in
Speaker 2: better if you have an assault rifle. I remember having
Speaker 2: these concerns heading into the twenty twenty election, and that
Speaker 2: was before they staged an insurrection to try and overturn
Speaker 2: the results of that election. So and by the way,
Speaker 2: Trump has recently gone on record referring to the people
Speaker 2: who were aded on January sixth, says, we like we
Speaker 2: and we were very peaceful. So that's unnerving. And I
Speaker 2: think it's just one of the big questions concerns surrounding
Speaker 2: this election, like, first of all, how safe will it
Speaker 2: be for them? Second of all, will there actually be
Speaker 2: any read that first question about how safe it's going
Speaker 2: to be? Will anybody actually want to do this job?
Speaker 2: Because there is a massive shortage in poll workers owing
Speaker 2: to a mass exodus in twenty twenty caused by the
Speaker 2: pandemic first of all, and then countless Trump inspired threats
Speaker 2: and intimidation campaigns like that. It was ugly in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Like there, I still remember like some of those scenes
Speaker 2: in like Detroit where there was just like massive crowds
Speaker 2: of Trump supporters like chanting stop the count outside of God. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're talking about that. They're talking about the count from
Speaker 2: Sesame Street.
Speaker 4: He's an immigrant, Get him out of here.
Speaker 2: What's he doing in this election.
Speaker 4: I'm going to take your jobs.
Speaker 5: I want to stop the count.
Speaker 2: The shortage is pretty understandable since more than half of
Speaker 2: election officials have reported being concerned about the safety of
Speaker 2: their colleagues or staff already this year. Because yeah, there
Speaker 2: it's just there's constant like threats. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: like right wing training happening. So yeah, it's it's not
Speaker 2: just that like concerns that voting sites will be understaffed.
Speaker 2: There's also like right wing conspiracy theorists. Theorists are actively
Speaker 2: trying to use the shortage to install their own pole watchers,
Speaker 2: as you know, workers in swing.
Speaker 4: States who will watch the watchers.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, so they will watch the watchers.
Speaker 4: They're going to watch.
Speaker 5: I gotta say, all these factoids you're dropping here are
Speaker 5: not making me feel any better.
Speaker 2: But I know it's not well, yeah's feeling good.
Speaker 4: Well, let me just wreck that for you, right.
Speaker 5: He just check insurrection. My local high school gymnasium is
Speaker 5: not mind at ease.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I feel like that's I don't know, it
Speaker 2: feels like a tangible thing at least, but it's like
Speaker 2: a very scary one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They keep in these like places where they're recruiting and
Speaker 2: training right wing pole watchers. They're talking about acting as
Speaker 2: a spy or a trojan horse. That's literally how like
Speaker 2: a Christian right influencer described his plan. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is specifically what happened. There was there was a
Speaker 2: usc like there. Their football team is called the Trojans.
Speaker 2: There's like all their sports teams are called the Trojans.
Speaker 2: And they had like a warm up video this year
Speaker 2: where they were like pretending to be in the trophan
Speaker 2: like they showed a Trojan horse and then like showed
Speaker 2: themselves and it's like, wait, no, you guys are the Trojans,
Speaker 2: Like you're the Trojan horse. Foled you it was against
Speaker 2: to the Trojans.
Speaker 5: Well, these football players aren't much on book learning.
Speaker 2: They're not they're not history majors. But anyways, that's what
Speaker 2: the Christian rights planning to do. There are safeguards that
Speaker 2: would prevent these workers from interfering in the electoral process,
Speaker 2: but their presence will probably lead to, at the very least,
Speaker 2: a lot of misinformation, which you know, is what we're
Speaker 2: seeing happen, a lot of like just with her things
Speaker 2: that straightforward as hurricane relief, you know, just sure Trump
Speaker 2: and Jade vance hurricane as information.
Speaker 3: What does training entail? Like, like what does it mean?
Speaker 3: Are they are they getting trained in martial arts?
Speaker 2: Like what they do? You've seen those videos of.
Speaker 4: It's going to like train them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a desert they're doing the the monkey bars
Speaker 2: and then firing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all these elderly are kicking, kicking some serious ass
Speaker 5: come to.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it has very little like physical training and
Speaker 2: more just like here's where to apply and here's how
Speaker 2: to make your presence felt even though you're not supposed to,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Here's how to use a voting machine that's made in
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: Right, So people the states have been desperate to hire
Speaker 2: new poll workers because of this, and they're so desperate,
Speaker 2: in fact, that in Kentucky they've been putting QR codes
Speaker 2: on beer cans and wine bottles, allowing people to easily
Speaker 2: sign up to be poll workers and then presumably it's
Speaker 2: too late to back out of it once.
Speaker 5: That really is something you wake up like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: I'm doing I'm doing what this week?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Why do I ever agree to make plans?
Speaker 3: That is crazy that they're trying to get drunk people
Speaker 3: to sign up because they're like, only drunk people would
Speaker 3: be would be willing to put their bodies that were Yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Know who loves waking up early on a weekday alcoholics
Speaker 5: top of the crack of dawn. They'll be out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure we'll have the best that just election
Speaker 2: day won't happen because no, he shows up. Nebraska is
Speaker 2: allowing counties to draft workers to fill election vacancies, sort
Speaker 2: of how we do jury duty? Yeah, paid though, right,
Speaker 2: yes they do. How well they get paid is another question.
Speaker 5: That seems to be the solution right there, Just give
Speaker 5: them more money.
Speaker 3: Okay, but we don't want to do that go wait
Speaker 3: a second, Okay, no, And also we're going to take
Speaker 3: away whatever healthcare you have about.
Speaker 2: So they're apparently turning to child labor in this worker shortage.
Speaker 4: Children yearn for the polls.
Speaker 2: They do, so all the young Ruffians with their tiktoks
Speaker 2: and Sony Discman's Is that right?
Speaker 4: I walk into the tar pits right now.
Speaker 2: You know, the ones that the very people who are
Speaker 2: fueling the rise of Trump, like the Boomer et cetera,
Speaker 2: like already hate so much, just NonStop, like it's their
Speaker 2: favorite thing is to complain about them. That those people
Speaker 2: are going to be like a sea of those of
Speaker 2: these children are going to be awaiting the boomers at
Speaker 2: the polls according to this plan, which I feel like
Speaker 2: would would be the equivalent of like a bunch of
Speaker 2: people with ars, Like they would be there to make
Speaker 2: the Boomers feel safe, but then the children would just
Speaker 2: they wouldn't know what to do. They'd be pretty furious.
Speaker 5: It's a bad situation where you have like some stone
Speaker 5: seventeen year old like like counting ballots or being entrusted
Speaker 5: in carrying a box of ballots to someone's car.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, did you ever like have to do
Speaker 2: like high school like fundraising work for I think I
Speaker 2: did it for my basketball team where we like worked
Speaker 2: at parking lots of like a fish show or like.
Speaker 2: It was just like they were just hav high school
Speaker 2: students and be like, yeah, you're doing child labor, but
Speaker 2: you're doing it for this program that needs money to
Speaker 2: like pay for gas to go to like the next
Speaker 2: away game.
Speaker 5: So you just went up to people with like nitrous
Speaker 5: balloons there.
Speaker 2: Exactly, like worked a bingo hall where you couldn't like
Speaker 2: see three feet in front of your face from the
Speaker 2: cigarette smoke. Just like you know, just stuff like jobs
Speaker 2: that could have been staffed by people and paid for.
Speaker 2: They were just like, no, we'll just throw these children
Speaker 2: at it. And it feels like that is the level,
Speaker 2: like the lowest level of employment that you could possibly have,
Speaker 2: is like we'll just make high school kids do it
Speaker 2: because they will think it's like good for their resume.
Speaker 2: That's like how it's being pitched to them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I worked on the last day of American democracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, but it's actually had like all over the country,
Speaker 2: officials are actively recruiting high school students to become poll workers,
Speaker 2: and while miners aren't allowed to become poll workers in
Speaker 2: every in every state a loophole allows for it, as
Speaker 2: long as they're pre registered to vote.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a whole group of like weird in
Speaker 3: cell dudes who haven't memorized like the ages that they're
Speaker 3: allowed to be poll workers state by state.
Speaker 2: In some cases they're paid just like regular poll workers,
Speaker 2: which I don't think as much because in other cases
Speaker 2: they're simply asked to work for free pizza because the
Speaker 2: gig is such a quote resume booster. So surely the
Speaker 2: solution to this national emergency is not to treat election
Speaker 2: workers even worse. But that does seem to be the
Speaker 2: direction that we're going with it.
Speaker 3: I think it actually might be a good thing, because
Speaker 3: imagine you go with your like ar whatever to the polls.
Speaker 3: You're this angry Republican and then a fucking teenager just
Speaker 3: roast the shit out of your shoes, Like what are
Speaker 3: you gonna do? You know what I mean, You're armed,
Speaker 3: but disarmed, you know, Like, there's nothing crueler than a
Speaker 3: teenager who has something to prove.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think a person with a gun, big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of hard to make fun of the
Speaker 2: shoes of people who are carrying ars.
Speaker 5: But ye, nice gun loser.
Speaker 4: What are you gonna shoot me, you bitch?
Speaker 5: Yeah much getting shot shot out in exchange for two
Speaker 5: slices of Domino's pizza.
Speaker 2: Right, But it's I mean, it seems like a bad
Speaker 2: idea in terms of just like accomplishing the thing you're
Speaker 2: looking for. It also seems cruel when you keep in
Speaker 2: mind that, like, the reason there's a shortage of poll
Speaker 2: workers the first place is due to widespread harassment, and
Speaker 2: we're like just throw miners in that some miners of
Speaker 2: the problem, and the fact that they're actually like that,
Speaker 2: they're even selling it as this is valuable life experience
Speaker 2: if you engage with like a disaffected voter who's mad
Speaker 2: at you like this is a quote for Caswell students,
Speaker 2: Dealing with the occasional frustrated voter can be a valuable
Speaker 2: job skill experience. She said. One of the people was
Speaker 2: speaking in favor of this plan. It's not the same
Speaker 2: talking about it in a classroom as it is with
Speaker 2: a stranger who's coming in yelling at them. She said,
Speaker 2: they have to learn this is a real this is
Speaker 2: real life. This happens if I work at McDonald's somebody
Speaker 2: might get mad, whether they're right or wrong. It's a
Speaker 2: valuable on the job.
Speaker 3: Training to learn about suffering and danger because it later
Speaker 3: I will also experience suffering and danger.
Speaker 5: Right, those scam life experiences, right, very bad thing that
Speaker 5: happens to you. That's a viable life experience.
Speaker 4: It's pretty exposure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Exposure and life experience
Speaker 5: are on the same boat here. Yeah, I exposed to
Speaker 5: a mad man with a gun.
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent would have done this to be
Speaker 3: in like the Honor Society or something like. I would
Speaker 3: have been one of the kids they duped. I would
Speaker 3: have been like, yeah, I'll go, I don't care. I'll
Speaker 3: it's good to add to my resume.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good to add to my resume. Just covers
Speaker 2: so much bullshit. It's I know, they can get you
Speaker 2: to do anything, and nobody knows. There's like no way
Speaker 2: to fact check that. Yeah, so I mean jango. As
Speaker 2: you said earlier, the easiest thing to do would be
Speaker 2: to pay poll workers like the essential workers they are.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll you'll have to pay them once a year. Two.
Speaker 5: For the record, this is a yeah.
Speaker 2: Some poll workers make less than ten dollars an hour,
Speaker 2: which seems like it's too low. I'm not illegal, but
Speaker 2: maybe not in right, but yeah, we convert that to pizza.
Speaker 2: And so now we're doing conversions of dollars into pizzas,
Speaker 2: which is good math experience.
Speaker 3: You know, if you spend a fraction of your life
Speaker 3: working at the polls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much? Well you have left a number of
Speaker 2: states have enacted new election worker protections, but the federal
Speaker 2: response has just been, I don't know, not great. They
Speaker 2: put together a special Federal Election Threats task Force, which
Speaker 2: has resulted in seventeen total charges. There's been over two
Speaker 2: thousand reports of threats and harassment to election workers and
Speaker 2: since the task force was created in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: but only one hundred of those were even investigated because
Speaker 2: like a lot of you know, government enforcement agencies, they
Speaker 2: are drastically understaffed and underfunded. And then they're like, well,
Speaker 2: the government sucks at their job. And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: you put like three people on a thing that requires
Speaker 2: a full company is worth of people.
Speaker 5: It sounds like they need to hire some teenagers for
Speaker 5: the investigation.
Speaker 2: I know, exactly, get some tea teenage PI kid detected.
Speaker 2: I mean if movies have taught me anything.
Speaker 5: Encyclopedia Brown would get to the bottom.
Speaker 2: Thank you exactly. All right anyways, so don't be worried
Speaker 2: about the intangible things that you can't control. Be worried
Speaker 2: about all the tangible things that you can't really can't
Speaker 2: control unless you want to volunteer to be a poll worker,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, ask your ask your children if they.
Speaker 3: Want to do you know where your kids are getting
Speaker 3: the ship getting out of them at the pole?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: God, what a time man when they used to just
Speaker 2: have an ad at night at like ten o'clock being like, hey,
Speaker 2: you you have kids, do you remember that?
Speaker 5: Dude?
Speaker 2: Wait, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 2: be right back. And we're back, and we got a
Speaker 2: daily Zeitgeist update update on a previous story where we
Speaker 2: talked about how Donald Trump was selling a watch that
Speaker 2: looked like shit, Yeah, I mean it looked like a
Speaker 2: gold watch, like a kind of fancy gold watch, but
Speaker 2: it had his signature somewhere on the face. I think
Speaker 2: he's selling it for one hundred thousand dollars and it
Speaker 2: was made like so people were like, where did he
Speaker 2: suddenly get this watchmaking ability from? And they traced it
Speaker 2: to a company based in Wyoming, and like when you
Speaker 2: Google maps it it just looks like kind of a
Speaker 2: building in the middle of nowhere. CNN actually decided to
Speaker 2: go to this place that's clearly just a bogus address
Speaker 2: used by shell companies, and they were shocked to find
Speaker 2: there was no Swiss watch company. Yeah, and instead what
Speaker 2: they found was all the.
Speaker 4: Kids making the watches.
Speaker 5: The loop right there.
Speaker 2: That's right. Children. Child labor is the future of this country.
Speaker 5: The tight little figures are good for those gears.
Speaker 2: You know, I really like, yeah they can. I mean
Speaker 2: they love building with legos. This is just like one
Speaker 2: step over. You do have to they get a little
Speaker 2: they get a little careless, and so you do have to,
Speaker 2: you know, use some motivation tactics that people don't want
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 4: You have to waterboard the kids.
Speaker 2: One, yes, you do with a little juice box. So
Speaker 2: it makes it to the fact that it's a daycare
Speaker 2: is so bleak. It's a it's a daycare that shares
Speaker 2: a parking lot with an H and R block, a
Speaker 2: Wendy's and a vape and hempsmolk shop. So what a
Speaker 2: strip mall get your childcare kill yourself in two easy ways.
Speaker 2: Just need a liquor store to kind of create the
Speaker 2: full trifecta.
Speaker 5: I feel like there might be there might be a
Speaker 5: small watch factory in this building.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's like Cinderella, where like the animals are doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, see, we got to use our imagination here. It's
Speaker 5: not as bleak as we thought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cute. It's probably cute in some way. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it's cute. In addition to the quote the Best
Speaker 2: Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 4: I like that it's one word. Yes, that's a word,
Speaker 4: The Best Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 2: The address was also being used by the company selling
Speaker 2: Trump sneakers and a company selling the Best Honey on Earth,
Speaker 2: all one word, the best on Earth, which sells male
Speaker 2: enhancement honey. What.
Speaker 4: I don't think men need to be enhanced right now.
Speaker 4: I think they need to be.
Speaker 2: De hand Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just back it up, you guys are it's
Speaker 3: too much, too much honey.
Speaker 5: Male enhancement honey isn't very fun. That sounds like like
Speaker 5: a term for a sex worker or something.
Speaker 3: Also, if it worked, wouldn't the workers like rise up
Speaker 3: against the queen bee? You know what?
Speaker 2: I mean the male bees working.
Speaker 5: For the bees v ryle worker bees on the market.
Speaker 2: I think it's literally for boomers who are like I
Speaker 2: don't like pills, They're like.
Speaker 5: Easier to take a little thing of honey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, un sweetheart, I gotta dollop the honey into my mouth.
Speaker 2: It's just a normal thing of honey with like viagra
Speaker 2: sprinkled throughout, isn't it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds great. I think I need to get
Speaker 5: on the get on the horn in.
Speaker 2: My account, does seem like a great business proposition. But
Speaker 2: I mean, given the address and the similar name, we
Speaker 2: don't have proof yet, but it does seem to suggest
Speaker 2: that presidential candidate Donald Trump is selling honey that gives
Speaker 2: people boners. Which this is the October surprise we've been
Speaker 2: waiting for.
Speaker 5: There it is that is this good for Trump or
Speaker 5: bad for Trump?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, people are at this point. I'm so confused, Like.
Speaker 2: I can cure boners?
Speaker 5: Yea man, four more years of this, huh could be
Speaker 5: good stuff.
Speaker 2: They share the same organizer who just so happens to
Speaker 2: spend all his time in Puerto Rico and therefore can't
Speaker 2: comment on any of this. Cannot be reached for comment. Unfortunately.
Speaker 4: But the guy who heads the company, Yeah, our fearless leader.
Speaker 5: The CEO of a Trump Trump boner honey.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean the fact that it's called the best
Speaker 2: watches on Earth all one word LLC does suggest that
Speaker 2: it is just Donald Trump in a wig, which we've
Speaker 2: definitely seen in the past.
Speaker 4: His pseudonym was like Baron something right, John Baron.
Speaker 5: Or yeah, yeah Trump roly is a master of disguise.
Speaker 5: I like my lawyer to represent me to Yeah.
Speaker 2: Fake mustache turns around backwards, comes back. Man's doing what
Speaker 2: he thinks is a British accent.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm seeing that down here. You guys are right.
Speaker 5: The honey does just contain portions of viagrant. It's literally
Speaker 5: a homemade fucking moonshine honey with you grind it in
Speaker 5: a mortar and pestle viagrant sprinkle into into the honey.
Speaker 2: It's like Mom, yeah, yeah, just like Mom used to make. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The FDA has warned people not to consume.
Speaker 5: I know, it seems it seems a good idea to
Speaker 5: eat that sold out a watch factory, just.
Speaker 2: As medicine ground up in it.
Speaker 3: Is like, oh, we're not going to approve your device
Speaker 3: or like this thing, but they're like.
Speaker 4: Please, I don't want to listen, Please.
Speaker 3: Don't eat the bone or honey, we can't in good
Speaker 3: conscience like nottic that's right, nice, try the FDA.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys just love women.
Speaker 2: And finally Tostitos and Doritos have stepped up to the plate.
Speaker 2: We may not be able to count on the political
Speaker 2: process to save us, but we can count on our
Speaker 2: corporations owned by PepsiCo. So there. There was a period
Speaker 2: early in the election when Joe Biden remember him, you
Speaker 2: running for president? And Cookie Monster.
Speaker 4: Remember that as Okay.
Speaker 2: They teamed up to take on shrink flation, and Biden
Speaker 2: specifically singled out potato chip companies. Man, yeah, potato chip
Speaker 2: companies selling less chips than the same same size. Bangs.
Speaker 5: Man, it's like, you know, damn.
Speaker 2: By Joe then wandered off curtain somewhere.
Speaker 4: Maybe he has just been high.
Speaker 5: What is like He's had like a sixty year polo
Speaker 5: career and the capstone on all is like chips are
Speaker 5: too small bye.
Speaker 2: And I'll be seeing myself out.
Speaker 4: But yet the most relatable aspect of his career, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, honestly, this is something that pisses me off, So
Speaker 5: I'm pretty.
Speaker 3: Happy to every I'm glad he's moving away from like
Speaker 3: working with segregationists.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, his big stands before. Why can't we all
Speaker 2: just get along? Man strom? Thurmon was cool, dude, man rock. Anyways,
Speaker 2: there are reports that Pepsi Cooat is adding more chips
Speaker 2: into chip bags, including Tostitos, Doritos, and lays, in order
Speaker 2: to quote fight trink inflation.
Speaker 5: Yes, the hero of the common man.
Speaker 2: Yes exactly. Pepsi co always in touch, They're in touch
Speaker 2: with my needs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, can you guys stop charging us for water?
Speaker 3: Shut up and take the chips?
Speaker 5: Well, baby steps, that's what they do. They give us
Speaker 5: more chips, and they keep charging more for the refreshing beverages.
Speaker 5: We need to wash them down.
Speaker 2: With yeah, exactly. And they also have to be able
Speaker 2: to fund those commercials that are responsible for slowly but
Speaker 2: surely saving our hearts and minds, like the Kylie General one.
Speaker 5: You know, Oh I forget about that.
Speaker 2: That great. They've done their part. They've done their part.
Speaker 4: Kendall Jenner Jack, my god, what how dare?
Speaker 2: What has happened to me? I used to know what
Speaker 2: was going on in this world? But so it turns
Speaker 2: out they are putting more chips into bags, they are
Speaker 2: selling them at the same price. They are also branding
Speaker 2: them as bonus bags with twenty percent.
Speaker 3: More chip boner bags, and we're gonna mix viagra.
Speaker 2: There will they will be Viagra dusted. So they're advertising
Speaker 2: that they're adding back the chips they took away, but
Speaker 2: just calling them bonus chips, which is like stealing someone's
Speaker 2: wallet and then selling them back their ID and credit cards.
Speaker 2: Is like bonus bonus wallet, bonus features, bonus collectibles.
Speaker 5: This might be coming out of left field, but I
Speaker 5: think I would prefer instead of more chips, just one big.
Speaker 2: Chip, I think is okay, No.
Speaker 5: No one big the family can do the fucking cartoon
Speaker 5: corn thing on the size of it.
Speaker 4: This is unpleasant.
Speaker 2: I don't way towards the middle. Everybody gets an.
Speaker 5: People said the same thing about the automobile.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah running out of earth.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, I look on the bright side of life,
Speaker 5: big chip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cars are sick, and so are big, big old
Speaker 2: giant chips.
Speaker 5: Thick chips too, half an inch with them?
Speaker 4: How a big big chip? Like how thick? And do
Speaker 4: you want this chip to be?
Speaker 5: That's thick as the side of my hand. Okay, okay,
Speaker 5: the big as a medium sized kite.
Speaker 4: You want it kite shaped?
Speaker 5: Yeah, now, I want it to be a diamond shaped.
Speaker 5: I'm innovating so fast over here that it's changing the
Speaker 5: parameters on the fly.
Speaker 2: Learn a lesson from the pumpkin peduncle. Just go thick
Speaker 2: and big and it'll be. It'll stay intact. People will
Speaker 2: love it, people will come right they Yeah, they're actually
Speaker 2: kind of doing that at Taco Bell. They just added
Speaker 2: even biger giant cheese its to like one of their products, sore.
Speaker 4: Just they preach about the cheese it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, brother, They're adding other drunk food into their food.
Speaker 5: They're literally like doing what a high person would do
Speaker 5: it at home. They're taking out the middle man, like, yeah,
Speaker 5: trying to do gummy bears taco I'm.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't think you understand. The demographic that Taco
Speaker 3: Bell is targeting to is the high person at all.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: I guess so that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I used to do this show where you would like
Speaker 3: do a sober set and then you would get high
Speaker 3: and do a high set, and like every time I
Speaker 3: left afterwards, the Taco Bell next to it was.
Speaker 4: There was just a huge line of cars.
Speaker 5: It was wild cleaning out like a cartoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no Taco Bell. The big cheese It Crount
Speaker 2: Trap Supreme is back, and I think I think they've
Speaker 2: made the cheese it bigger and they might have added
Speaker 2: a second one.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 2: They were like, not enough cheese it in this thing
Speaker 2: that is basically wrapped around a giant cheese it.
Speaker 3: Every time I hear about it, talk about item, it's
Speaker 3: always it's back.
Speaker 4: I'm like, when did they have this?
Speaker 2: That's right, bitches, it'squre.
Speaker 5: Whether there's like pending FDA legislation they had to withdraw
Speaker 5: their latest monstrosity.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the FDA is like, we please don't. We don't
Speaker 4: advise you to eat this.
Speaker 5: Please stop wrapping this in.
Speaker 2: Uh. The front Trap Supreme that is basically just wrapped
Speaker 2: around a giant wax cornicopia is back.
Speaker 5: Holy shit, this is I'm reading the distriction of it
Speaker 5: right now. An a la carte big cheese a cracker
Speaker 5: sixteen times larger than the Star cheese Cracker. They got
Speaker 5: my letter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've they've incepted. They went into your dreams.
Speaker 5: This is so so crazy.
Speaker 2: If inception exists in real life. I would hope that's
Speaker 2: what they're using it for. Is just like, Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: amzing through our dreams and like stealing all our best
Speaker 2: ideas for fast food concoctions.
Speaker 5: A man, you can buy spiders of course.
Speaker 2: That's that's what they launched with the giant Jesus thing.
Speaker 4: That one didn't put the teeth that fell out of
Speaker 4: their mouth into.
Speaker 2: That's where they came up with Baja blast is. They
Speaker 2: were like, what a drink that makes all your teeth
Speaker 2: fall out of your mouth the moment after you drink
Speaker 2: it from just like sheer sugar consumption. Anyways, there, it
Speaker 2: has been reported that PepsiCo is actually not doing this
Speaker 2: to fight shrinkflation. They're doing it because they want to
Speaker 2: sell more bags of chips now that it's football season.
Speaker 2: That's there. We can we believe in anything anymore.
Speaker 4: People, Wow, I can't believe that that's a.
Speaker 2: Football season. There's a lot of gatherings.
Speaker 5: There are gatherings.
Speaker 2: We do be gathering, that's true. She's not wrong about that, folks.
Speaker 3: Anyways, And imagine at this gathering, you and all your
