Speaker 3: Frenny Frenny MK heads out there. Man, It's it's just
Speaker 3: worth seeing, like how they like they brought these actors

Speaker 1: split and punch and that was it.

Speaker 4: he's got the shadow elbow. He throws these weird green balls.
Speaker 4: Like everybody else they throw fire and stuff, which kind
Speaker 4: of makes sense, but he throws these like green orbs.
Speaker 4: They never explained if he's like part which I don't
Speaker 4: know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Green balls, Right, it's a Hollywood thing, probably scientology, that's what.
Speaker 4: It's an al Ron Hubbard reference. Yeah, it's actually yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what level is that of feet and removal.
Speaker 3: He was inspired by Jean Claude van Dam's character in
Speaker 3: Blood Sport.
Speaker 4: Yep, you can feel it, you can feel Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: right because remember he's on the he's doing the splits
Speaker 4: on those folding chairs. Yeah, right, very pivotal scene in
Speaker 4: my young adulthood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's how you ended up where you are today,
Speaker 1: exactly current.
Speaker 4: You can't see me listeners, but I'm currently doing the
Speaker 4: splits in between.
Speaker 1: Doing the slits on two folding chairs. That's how you record.
Speaker 1: That's how you're most comfortable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel at home there.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What is something from your search history?
Speaker 6: Well I haven't. I haven't had a lot of interesting searches,
Speaker 6: but I did.
Speaker 3: Or something screenshoted on your phone?
Speaker 6: I mean, damn, you don't let me finish my man,
Speaker 6: I hate so much too today.
Speaker 1: No, you don't hate me. You don't hate me. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about that. Okay, that's projection. You're just your cup
Speaker 1: of hate for me is so full that it's still such.
Speaker 6: A bad mood.
Speaker 1: Your hate cup.
Speaker 6: The Drake and Drake situation was a situationship. Yeah, it's
Speaker 6: a situation ship. I was so. I was so curious
Speaker 6: because I've hated Drake a very long time and I've
Speaker 6: been pretty vocal anti Drake for very long time. I
Speaker 6: do it on stage. I spent the whole last year
Speaker 6: shitting on Ralph Barboso's crowd because they're like, they're young men,
Speaker 6: so they all love Drake and that was like so fun.
Speaker 6: I hope that they've been thinking about me this week.
Speaker 6: But anyhow, I was like, when did I start hitting them?
Speaker 6: And I realized it was and that's what I googled
Speaker 6: the that Bay inspired song, the motto. I can remember
Speaker 6: the name of it, but I was like Bay inspire
Speaker 6: Drake song and I was like, I just to confirm,
Speaker 6: I was like, there is no Bay producer, there was
Speaker 6: no Bay rapper on it, and I remember that pissing
Speaker 6: me the fuck off. Likely even this was I think
Speaker 6: the third.
Speaker 1: Album Damn You you do go way back with the
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 6: Because when that happened as much as and I will say,
Speaker 6: I did enjoy the song because it is it was
Speaker 6: a banger. I'm not gonna and that was the thing.
Speaker 6: It was still early, so I was like, I mean,
Speaker 6: this song is good, and it took me a minute
Speaker 6: to be like, wait a minute, there's a Bay feature
Speaker 6: on this and there, and then I looked it up
Speaker 6: and I was like, and there's no big producer on this.
Speaker 6: I was like, this is fucking whack. And that's when
Speaker 6: I was like, this guy's a fucking leech because a
Speaker 6: lot because I remember my brother being like what He's like, well,
Speaker 6: plenty of people, you know, do Bay Area music, and
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, but they always have a Bay
Speaker 6: Area rapper featured on the song, always when they dabble
Speaker 6: with the first sound yeah, and anyway, so I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's been since twenty eleven since I've been like side
Speaker 6: eyeing that motherfucker. And I'm just I'm very proud of that.
Speaker 6: And that was one of my last interesting Google searches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that in that song because he's he says
Speaker 3: rest in peace, mag Dre, I'm gonna do it for
Speaker 3: the Bay. Yeah, You're like, oh, and I feel like
Speaker 3: the video, what wasn't the video also shot in the
Speaker 3: Bay too. I don't remember the video, Yeah, I don't anyway,
Speaker 3: like I know what you mean.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It's very raises an eyebrow raises it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was my first timer. I was like hummm,
Speaker 6: because I mean, especially because the Bay is so predictive
Speaker 6: that I was like, how did he get away with this?
Speaker 6: But it was a slapper and it was early in
Speaker 6: his career, and I was like, oh, maybe he just
Speaker 6: kind of like made a bad choice, but nah, it
Speaker 6: was intentional. He's ripped off everybody since then.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 3: We'll see where he shows his face or he's just
Speaker 3: gonna post like just vacation videos for the next year
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 6: I can't wait to find out what happens. I hate
Speaker 6: him so much. I've been waiting for this week for
Speaker 6: so long.
Speaker 1: There's a man.
Speaker 3: There's even people who are like, you know, there could
Speaker 3: there be like legal consequences? Could they sue each other
Speaker 3: for what's happening? And then like you know, the fans
Speaker 3: are like, I'm sure, like those songs were vetted by lawyers,
Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't think. I don't think so
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: No, he must have very big ass law firm, like
Speaker 1: working around the clock. Kendrick if they were vetting that ship,
Speaker 1: because even those were coming out fast.
Speaker 3: Well also, and if he has evidence, you're like, where
Speaker 3: are the police?
Speaker 1: Then? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean that's the thing though, it's like Drake,
Speaker 6: what suing? Like how much of a buster? Does that
Speaker 6: make him look like he can't do that? Like that
Speaker 6: would really ruin any kind of cool rep that he would,
Speaker 6: even that he has little that he has. Like that's
Speaker 6: why it's so interesting when when when you when you
Speaker 6: say that, because it's like, I mean, rappers, that's like,
Speaker 6: you know, code of conduct. It's like, you don't sue
Speaker 6: each other for a ship it's a live then it's
Speaker 6: a lie. Why would you sue? Like, oh, it's why
Speaker 6: I don't you know. But if it's true and you
Speaker 6: have no proof, that motherfucker and Dre Hellett, that motherfucker
Speaker 6: has been having women sign n das to go into
Speaker 6: his parties forever. I had this friend who was a stripper,
Speaker 6: and I remember her telling me and I was like what,
Speaker 6: And I was like, Yeah, that's so fucking weird that
Speaker 6: you make people sign, especially women, sign n d as
Speaker 6: before you walk into your house party. That's fucking weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if I do that.
Speaker 3: It would just be like, please don't tell anybody how
Speaker 3: messy my fucking apartment.
Speaker 6: Is, right, Yeah, Like imagine that because they would lock
Speaker 6: the phones there. He must be the original investor in
Speaker 6: Yonder bags. They would make these girls lock their phones
Speaker 6: and sign.
Speaker 3: NDAs like show or something.
Speaker 5: Shit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's a lot of stuff about that. There's
Speaker 1: the Millie Bobby Brown interview that just like resurfaced this.
Speaker 6: There's a few interviews from her. She's like, yeah, he
Speaker 6: texts me and you know.
Speaker 1: So much, answers questions for me about boys. And they
Speaker 1: were like, what do you mean, and she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's gonna stay in. The text is like no you yeah, well,
Speaker 1: like get your parents over here.
Speaker 6: I also just love the innocence of it because she
Speaker 6: genuinely thinks there's nothing wrong with it. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 6: of course she doesn't know, because she's a literal child.
Speaker 6: That's what rumors do. They trick you into thinking that
Speaker 6: what is happening is totally normal.
Speaker 1: Dark side of the beef, dark side of the beef,
Speaker 1: dark side of the beef. Andrew, what is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated? And this again, I've just had COVID.
Speaker 7: This is on me obviously, because I know people love this,
Speaker 7: but I just I was just taking long ass walks
Speaker 7: because I was like, I'm want to get some kind
Speaker 7: of exercise in it. Yeah, I guess part of it is, Yeah,
Speaker 7: unbelievably long walks.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 3: Unbelieve we're talking like a fucking sojourn across the the state.
Speaker 7: I mean, I feel like I could do it now,
Speaker 7: but no, I do mean I mean two laps around
Speaker 7: Echo Park.
Speaker 1: Which is unt long for me. So we were talking about, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what he means by unbelievably long. People start following
Speaker 1: him around because they can't believe he's still doing it.
Speaker 3: Wow, this guy did three laps around Eco Park lakelievably.
Speaker 1: There's the legend grows.
Speaker 7: Never able to figure out the exact tweet for this,
Speaker 7: but it's it's the time of year where the baby
Speaker 7: geese are out and and so I was trying to
Speaker 7: figure out some Goslings Ryan Gosling fall guy thing. But
Speaker 7: there's my dog almost got in a fight with multiple
Speaker 7: mother geese.
Speaker 1: Geese. Man, that's witches. Like they're not nice there.
Speaker 7: They seem angry and territorial and their kids are cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're there.
Speaker 7: I saw because of my again unfathomably long walks. I've
Speaker 7: seen multiple families of like baby geese jumping into the goslings.
Speaker 7: I saw goslin jump into the pool or into the lake,
Speaker 7: and it's so cute, warm your heart, so cute every time.
Speaker 1: Is that your favorite?
Speaker 3: Would you say, as a man, andrew t, what's your
Speaker 3: favorite bird?
Speaker 1: Damn damn, damn damn. Yeah, this just needs to be
Speaker 1: part of our questions, what's your favorite bird?
Speaker 3: As yeah, tik tok, motherfucker.
Speaker 5: I would say.
Speaker 7: I'll say, I think maybe just a regular duck. Goose
Speaker 7: is like too much. I'm not like, yeah like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, they're really very elegant and graceful, the goose, the
Speaker 1: like by design, like their their neck design is just
Speaker 1: too Hey, we're getting the light. We're getting the light.
Speaker 3: We're getting the light from justice.
Speaker 1: Folks, We're getting the light movement. This is all right? Hey,
Speaker 1: what bring up?
Speaker 3: Bring it up with an overrated Nicholas please?
Speaker 8: Okay, well, the overrated I guess I was just thinking about,
Speaker 8: you know, in terms of dichotomies, there's another novel by
Speaker 8: Geny of Fathers and sons, and it's about this kind
Speaker 8: of like son that comes back to the family estate
Speaker 8: with with this kind of dosty evskin radical figure in
Speaker 8: toe and in a way he's kind of a model
Speaker 8: for some of these dostyevskin nihilist characters. And I think
Speaker 8: he's called Yevgeny, but not one hundred per central because
Speaker 8: it was a long time ago that I read it,
Speaker 8: and I just I don't know, I didn't I found
Speaker 8: I found the characters in that book kind of annoying
Speaker 8: in a way, and they just kind of sort of
Speaker 8: prattled on anyway. Spring Torrent is very good, first lave,
Speaker 8: very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sons for the Yeah, yeah, watching anything on Netflix? Man,
Speaker 1: you know what you ever seen that? I Toko Advice? Okay?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah on HBO.
Speaker 3: I think it's yeah, sorry yeah, no, no, no, I
Speaker 3: mean it's I've only caught the first couple episodes of
Speaker 3: the second season. I read the book when it came out,
Speaker 3: and I was really the book was really eye opening
Speaker 3: because as someone who's half Japanese, just like the idea
Speaker 3: of an American person because it's so it's like my
Speaker 3: mom's a journalist and it was written in Japan and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. It's it's such a hard life and
Speaker 3: it's so rigid the way, like the tests you have
Speaker 3: to take to even get in there. Like the idea
Speaker 3: of a Western ner being like yeah, I'm gonna learn
Speaker 3: Japanese to that level like blows my mind. But yeah,
Speaker 3: at the show to be pretty popular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's that's the story of Tokyo Vice as
Speaker 1: a westerner trying to figure out life in Tokyo on
Speaker 1: the on the Vice Squad.
Speaker 3: Well, it's him writing about like what the Vice Squad
Speaker 3: is doing, so like you learn all these different things
Speaker 3: about Tokyo through his interactions with police, and then with
Speaker 3: this one is sort of centering around this yakuza guy who,
Speaker 3: in the books telling was like having like renal issues
Speaker 3: with his kidneys and was going to the United So
Speaker 3: it's like a kind of a huge kind of.
Speaker 1: A or something, right. Yeah, it was yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's a really good book. Yeah, because I read it
Speaker 8: when I was in Japan a couple of years ago,
Speaker 8: and it was it was also very eye opening, and.
Speaker 1: I remember just thinking where are the yakus.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's not really something that you have experience of,
Speaker 8: but I guess friends of mine who work there say
Speaker 8: that it's kind of on the periphery quite a lot
Speaker 8: of the things, especially people.
Speaker 1: Who work in the restaurant industry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like nightlife. Yeah, you can, it's definitely it's
Speaker 3: a presence.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and we will get into cobalt
Speaker 1: mining and other forms of mining that kind of make
Speaker 1: a lot of the wonder technologies of our modern life
Speaker 1: possible and kind of some dark things that are up
Speaker 1: the supply chain behind your phone.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back, and we're bad.
Speaker 3: We are back to me.
Speaker 6: I said it not Jack. Guys, if you caught.
Speaker 1: That flawless, pretty hard to tell the difference, she said,
Speaker 1: known virgin kV baby Melley balls Jack Obrien, Melly balls Obrien,
Speaker 1: that's im him? Is that a child?
Speaker 6: You tell me where you.
Speaker 1: Lot accusations flying around these days?
Speaker 6: Sle what what? What? What a great song?
Speaker 1: All right, let's check in with the Biden administration, who
Speaker 1: are concerned about the incursion into Rafa and have paused
Speaker 1: a shipment of bombs which progress.
Speaker 3: Technically unprecedented, technically unprecedented, h Like, technically this hasn't happened
Speaker 3: since October seventh, when Joe Biden is like whatever y'all
Speaker 3: need blank check, go ahead. It is wild to see,
Speaker 3: like what a shipment of bombs constitutes, Like, yeah, Jesus,
Speaker 3: this is this is a shipment okay of bombs.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, thousands your morning shipment Okay, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Thousands of bombs. This is eighteen hundred two thousand pound
Speaker 3: bombs and seventeen hundred five.
Speaker 1: Hundred pound bombs.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, and that's supposed to be I guess they're
Speaker 3: like the reasoning there being is like these are just
Speaker 3: too big for dense urban areas that we're really just
Speaker 3: worried about what they could do. I mean, we weren't
Speaker 3: worried up until now, but now we're looking at the
Speaker 3: polling and we're a little bit worried about that. And
Speaker 3: Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, confirmed this Wednesday because
Speaker 3: first it was like, apparently this happened last week, and
Speaker 3: he said, quote, We've been very clear from the beginning
Speaker 3: that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Raffa without
Speaker 3: accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that
Speaker 3: battle space. And again, as we have assessed the situation.
Speaker 3: We have paused one shipment of high payload munitions. We've
Speaker 3: not made a final determination on how to proceed with
Speaker 3: that shipment, meaning okay, so eventually you may hand it over.
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What can they do?
Speaker 1: So what could they do to not to get their
Speaker 1: shipment of like massive bombs? Right exactly? It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: now you can have your bombs to say they're not
Speaker 1: going to use them on RAFA and then.
Speaker 6: Hey, I promise I'm just gonna use them.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what did you guys think we were
Speaker 1: gonna do with them? You guys are crazy? Are you serious?
Speaker 1: Guys are literally crazy? I can't show.
Speaker 3: You're tripping, Joe, you're tripping.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you hear what Joe said?
Speaker 6: So you know me, come on, you know me. You
Speaker 6: know I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: We can't have our cyber truck sized bombs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right exactly. Yeah, because we've has a we has
Speaker 3: a red line. I don't know, I mean like, so
Speaker 3: this comes as the State Department prepares a report that
Speaker 3: quote examines whether Israel's war conduct is credibly incompliance with
Speaker 3: assurances that US supplied weapons are not being used in
Speaker 3: contravention of US in international humanitarian law.
Speaker 1: And just based on.
Speaker 3: What I've seen red heard, the countless protests that are
Speaker 3: happening around the world, the ICJ ruling, it seems that
Speaker 3: it might be a lot of contravention going on there.
Speaker 3: But that's just a hunch. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: need that full on report, but that's just a hunch.
Speaker 3: And you know, we're looking at over a million displaced
Speaker 3: gosins in Rafa, right, and that was supposed to be
Speaker 3: a safe place for people to go. But now that
Speaker 3: Israel has sees the border crossing there, things are becoming
Speaker 3: increasingly dire. And meanwhile, representatives of the Israeli government are
Speaker 3: saying that this pause and armshipment could affect the ceasefire talks.
Speaker 3: And it's like, okay, Jan Like, it's been pretty clear
Speaker 3: that Netanyahu has no intention of stopping this genocide. So
Speaker 3: Biden needs to I mean, I'm like, Biden needs to
Speaker 3: wake up. This dude is fucking.
Speaker 6: Sleep So I mean, exactly, he said he's a proud Zionist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right, I mean in the sense like it's
Speaker 3: not gonna change or it doesn't. I'm I'm sadly so
Speaker 3: fucking cynical. That's why it makes it so difficult to watch,
Speaker 3: you know, the government just play in our faces like
Speaker 3: they give a fuck about the people in Gaza in
Speaker 3: the West Bank. For like every ten fucked up headlines
Speaker 3: about like new mass graves being discovered and children being orphaned,
Speaker 3: you get like one of these goofy ass headlines about
Speaker 3: how like Joe Biden privately wants the killing to stop,
Speaker 3: or how Biden has a red line that could shift
Speaker 3: US policy. But we're close to thirty five thousand deaths
Speaker 3: already and it's fucking devastating this that we know of
Speaker 3: that we exactly and it's just yeah, all unfold and
Speaker 3: like have to be implicit as Americans while simultaneously having
Speaker 3: yet another reminder that like the only people that get
Speaker 3: a wink of humanity in this world are those that
Speaker 3: look white. Yeah, and it's just yeah, it's so we
Speaker 3: shall see that if they're if the line is crossed
Speaker 3: or whether or not. But it yeah, this is this
Speaker 3: is one of those headlines that I think they do
Speaker 3: to be like, Okay, we know clearly the world the
Speaker 3: pressure is cranking up around the world about what is
Speaker 3: you know, this this likely ground invasion of Rafa and yeah,
Speaker 3: what we're getting to sort of pacify us is one
Speaker 3: shipment of bombs paused.
Speaker 1: Like the fact that they're saying it could affect ceasefire talks,
Speaker 1: like they're like, we have all the weapons we need,
Speaker 1: Like you've already given us everything we need right like there,
Speaker 1: this isn't strategically going to affect us, like stop us
Speaker 1: from doing ship It sounds like I think where they're
Speaker 1: just sort of more they know they're like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, for them, their calculus is more like we
Speaker 1: are just going to fucking flat and Gaza.
Speaker 3: We don't give a fuck, and we don't give a
Speaker 3: fuck how that destabilizes the regime in the United States
Speaker 3: or whatever. So it's like this, it's just this really
Speaker 3: cruel back and forth.
Speaker 1: But yeah, ally, yeah.
Speaker 6: I also feel like they they made that announcement to
Speaker 6: like soothe the students protesting. Yeah, Like they're that fucking
Speaker 6: stupid to be like, oh my god, they got one
Speaker 6: shipment paused.
Speaker 1: So I think we stop big bombshipment. We can everybody
Speaker 1: go home, Everybody going to your dormitories.
Speaker 6: What the fuck do you guys want?
Speaker 5: What more do you need?
Speaker 6: They're shopping stop one ship.
Speaker 1: But I hear things are pretty frosty between Jill and Joe.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's because because his body has expired. That's
Speaker 1: why she's not his.
Speaker 6: Dick or playing with the balls. What happened that?
Speaker 1: No more did he say that. That's he just said,
Speaker 1: like the key to a good marriage is good sex.
Speaker 6: Earlier this year, did he say that.
Speaker 3: He did say something like that, and then everybody vombited.
Speaker 1: See, yeah, he's a he's a freak.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, he looks like one of those remember
Speaker 3: in Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade when like them
Speaker 3: King Arthur fucking mummies come out and ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that's where he chooses unwisely and yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah fades away.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what. That's the kind of vibe Joe's
Speaker 3: give me right now.
Speaker 1: Energy reference he's giving off like sarcophagal vibes. Yeah, sarko
Speaker 1: all right. RFK Junior is We talked yesterday about how
Speaker 1: he landed the big Kevin Spacey endorsement, But now he
Speaker 1: is getting a little more attention because The New York
Speaker 1: Times just reported that back in twenty twelve, during a
Speaker 1: deposition for his divorce case. He reviewed that in twenty ten,
Speaker 1: he was experiencing memory loss and doctors thought he might
Speaker 1: have a brain tumor, but it turned out to be
Speaker 1: According to Kennedy, this is, according to him, the guy
Speaker 1: who's like, I should be president. According to that man,
Speaker 1: the reason he was forgetting things is quote a worm
Speaker 1: that got into my brain and ate a portion of
Speaker 1: it and then died. M hm, that's what he thinks
Speaker 1: happened to his brain. Doctors don't think that happened. Doctors
Speaker 1: are like, that's not a thing that's happened outside of
Speaker 1: a cartoon that we're aware of.

Speaker 1: me by that.

Speaker 1: degree to which this guy knows he has like mental problems,
Speaker 1: like brain problems, because this is around the time that
Speaker 1: like he started going real hard on the I guess
Speaker 1: he's been like an anti vaxer for a while, but
Speaker 1: it was like the time that like his ambition really
Speaker 1: picked up, and like he's in this deposition saying, quote,
Speaker 1: I have cognitive problems. Clearly, I have short term memory
Speaker 1: load and I have longer term memory loss that affects
Speaker 1: the other distances of memory are pretty strong, though, decides
Speaker 1: short term and longer than short term.
Speaker 3: Is that why he plays dumb? Like when he gets
Speaker 3: gotcha by journalists or like, yo, bro, what about all
Speaker 3: that like nine to eleven shit you were saying? Is
Speaker 3: like I never said that because he doesn't because a
Speaker 3: worm ate that part of it.
Speaker 1: Do you think he believed.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, Like, is that what he I'm
Speaker 3: trying to regularize if he legit has like his memories
Speaker 3: is fucked up and he's trying to blame a worm
Speaker 3: or he's this is a story to set up to
Speaker 3: give himself like plausible deniability.
Speaker 1: When it's you talking.
Speaker 6: About people need to accept it. Like when you start
Speaker 6: aging your memory goes, that's very normal. You can just
Speaker 6: say that, yeah, right, that's that's nobody cares. I mean,
Speaker 6: look at Biden. He's doing just fine as our president.
Speaker 1: I think it helps. I think it because they don't
Speaker 1: have like the part of the brain that is like
Speaker 1: self doubt like that. That's one of the first things
Speaker 1: to go. We're like, well, they're so successful, we were
Speaker 1: all talking about them, therefore they must know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, he's a person who is having
Speaker 1: so much trouble thinking straight that he thought of worm
Speaker 1: like eight part of his brain like a fucking cartoon apple.
Speaker 6: I will also say he if he doesn't win, which
Speaker 6: you won't, but he could definitely pitch a cartoon, a
Speaker 6: conservative cartoon with a little worm as his little buddy, right.
Speaker 1: Like brain worms is a thing, right, Isn't that a
Speaker 1: thing that conservatives screaming about is like brainworm? Like I
Speaker 1: feel like Alex Jones has talked a lot about that, but.
Speaker 6: Just Jones is a brain worm, right.
Speaker 1: He's definitely I would not be shocked if if he
Speaker 1: were the one person affected by brain.
Speaker 6: I always think about Trump being like, if you don't
Speaker 6: get tested, we won't the numbers will remain low. I
Speaker 6: always think about that logic that a lot of conservatives
Speaker 6: like attach themselves to of like well if we don't do,
Speaker 6: if we don't know or don't do, the thing, like
Speaker 6: it doesn't exist. It's like, man, what the fuck are
Speaker 6: you talking about? And that's what this feels like.
Speaker 1: He's like, I mean, he's actively reclassifying deaths throughout the pandemic,
Speaker 1: just being like, well, we don't know that. That's like,
Speaker 1: that's that's wild to think about how bad, how bad
Speaker 1: that shit was having him be the president during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I just think like this is something
Speaker 1: that occurs to me, Like when you read stuff about
Speaker 1: World War Two and like Hitler was like really dumb,
Speaker 1: like he was just a person who was in like
Speaker 1: the like somebody was going to be that, and he
Speaker 1: just happened to be the person in that position at
Speaker 1: that time. And like this motherfucker is has a last
Speaker 1: name that is politically convenient, and so there's going to
Speaker 1: be an entire, like industry's worth of people trying to
Speaker 1: exploit his name. And then he is just fueled by
Speaker 1: privilege and opportunism. And I think his dimness both robs
Speaker 1: him of any like second thinking, you know, self out,
Speaker 1: and it also makes him a good engine for like
Speaker 1: sniffing out the crazy ship that's going to appeal to
Speaker 1: like self serious dumb people as well, you know like
Speaker 1: that he so he They're like, yeah, we got one
Speaker 1: of our own in there, who thinks that? But the
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine is the biggest problem. And I like the
Speaker 1: way he thinks.
Speaker 3: I like the way he thinks because that's how I think,
Speaker 3: because that's how I think exactly.
Speaker 6: God redoomed.
Speaker 1: It's it's not a great it's not a great menu
Speaker 1: that we have to choose from in this election.
Speaker 6: I also wonder if the Internet had existed when Hitler
Speaker 6: was alive, Like how quickly would I would his downfall
Speaker 6: have happened?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, someone would have kendrick him, right, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Yes, bro, and.
Speaker 1: He let true D day like that's the that's ship,
Speaker 1: just like I never forget, like he just he wouldn't
Speaker 1: wake up before noon and like day during World War
Speaker 1: T Like that's.
Speaker 3: They should have just given him a bunch of VCRs
Speaker 3: he could have disassembled when he was tweaking all night. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they kept him distracted with that. It's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: once you open up that TV, see what's inside man
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes.
Speaker 6: Lulla by D day. God damn, what a weirdo.
Speaker 3: That's what's so wild though too, And like people are
Speaker 3: being like this isn't the tapeworm thing is like bullshit,
Speaker 3: and they're it's not rest likely caused by mercury poisoning,
Speaker 3: which Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Into he was sushi. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You got the Jeremy Piven mercury pivot because you got
Speaker 3: you're eating too much fucking sushi, too much omakase, like.
Speaker 1: How much fucking proof. It's like, yeah, bro, sushi, Like
Speaker 1: do you talking about.
Speaker 6: I know, rice to the White American diet? No rice
Speaker 6: too many?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just sashimi, just shimi all day. That's it, and
Speaker 1: it's like the physical form of affluenza, you know, like
Speaker 1: the people can get get off from killing someone because
Speaker 1: they have affluenza like their parents raised them to, you know,
Speaker 1: and related from reality. Like the the physical version of
Speaker 1: that is like mercury poisoning from too much sushi, Like
Speaker 1: I just can't stop eating this stuff, your honor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he was.
Speaker 3: I mean I googled RFK sushi because I was just
Speaker 3: curious to see if, like that's his ship. But the
Speaker 3: one headline I didn't find was like he was eating
Speaker 3: like sushi somewhere with like Alicia Silverstone, you know, they
Speaker 3: were talking it up anti vax style.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this.
Speaker 6: Is a depressing episode.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're all depressing and.
Speaker 6: Someone I don't think they all are.
Speaker 3: We'll pick something frivil more please do.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's just you know what bothers me is
Speaker 6: that three of us all very smart, capable human beings,
Speaker 6: and we would never pursue politics because it's so fucking
Speaker 6: absurd to think like I'm going to be in charge of,
Speaker 6: you know, the community of people, and it's like it
Speaker 6: takes a real fucking weirdo and like every time these
Speaker 6: types of stories come out. I'm just like, yeah, man,
Speaker 6: like that's the kind of weirdo you have to be
Speaker 6: to be a politician. And it's like even with AOC,
Speaker 6: I remember being like I'm gonna I'm gonna love her
Speaker 6: at the beginning because I know eventually it's gonna turn.
Speaker 6: That's just it's normal. That's just what happens, and that
Speaker 6: is what's been happening, and it's just one of those
Speaker 6: things who are just like, man, it doesn't matter if
Speaker 6: you do go in with good intentions, because I mean,
Speaker 6: I don't know if anybody goes in with good intentions.
Speaker 6: But I think with those student activists, I'm always like
Speaker 6: hopeful that those students that are the protesting now are
Speaker 6: gonna pursue politics because I feel like that's the only
Speaker 6: way that this shit is going to change is like
Speaker 6: literal infiltration of like educated, young progressive people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if that's the game, you need to be
Speaker 3: at the to have a seat at the table, Like
Speaker 3: you have to play the game differently because all of
Speaker 3: these people. I was talking to somebody who like had
Speaker 3: worked for like like the White House like in the seventies,
Speaker 3: and I was like, what, what the fuck is up
Speaker 3: with like all these people and he's like, I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: they get in there and it's the fucking job you've
Speaker 3: ever had. Like they're like, Yo, you can't fucking tell
Speaker 3: nobody about this shit. These are secrets, like get you
Speaker 3: got security, like you're moving in like these armored cars
Speaker 3: and shit flying on Air Force one, and it just
Speaker 3: people just get hooked on that sort of level of
Speaker 3: being important to the point that they're like, Okay, well
Speaker 3: where am I where's my money coming from? So I
Speaker 3: can run my next campaign. I gotta fucking kiss the ring,
Speaker 3: I gotta bend the knee, then I'll do that, versus
Speaker 3: people who are like we just need like a World
Speaker 3: War Ze type strategy of being like, yeah, man, go in,
Speaker 3: make the votes count if they fucking come in primary
Speaker 3: you like, we'll just put seventeen more bodies up that
Speaker 3: are to go with nobody who gives a fuck about
Speaker 3: staying there and having like a dynastic run as a
Speaker 3: congress person, because everyone's calculus is just to it's like,
Speaker 3: once you get there, is just to stay.
Speaker 6: There, to stay there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what's like, I think that's what poisons
Speaker 3: a lot of people on some level, and there's only
Speaker 3: a few people that are able to kind of you know,
Speaker 3: it's like maybe three people that can even keep their principles.
Speaker 6: It's like it's like a principle like uh twy light
Speaker 6: zone version of fame. It's like at least like fame.
Speaker 6: It's it just seems kind of cut and dry, you know,
Speaker 6: it's and then what I reunists you end up in
Speaker 6: Doing's house. It gets a little more complicated, but you know,
Speaker 6: like that, but that's the dynamics that you're dealing with.
Speaker 6: And then like to be like to want political fame
Speaker 6: feels insane.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it feels like that is the thing that
Speaker 1: is most noteworthy about all of them is that they've
Speaker 1: made that decision to pursue that. Like that's the strangest
Speaker 1: thing about them. It's not like, oh, there's so much smarter, right, right,
Speaker 1: They're like they're smart. There are a lot of smart
Speaker 1: people and a lot of different industries. The thing that
Speaker 1: is unique and defining about all the people in this
Speaker 1: is that they don't think it's weird that they're in
Speaker 1: charge of other people, you know, right, and and.
Speaker 6: A lot of them, especially like with Kennedy, it's like
Speaker 6: they're self funding, so they're just like, yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: I can only imagine the type of I just speak
Speaker 6: about comics, so that's my world. But like if comedians
Speaker 6: that are great actually had the money to self fund
Speaker 6: the way like Jlo fucking self funded that stupid fucking movie. Yeah,
Speaker 6: twenty million dollars. You know, it's like, bit, you can't
Speaker 6: use that money for something good, all right, But it's
Speaker 6: just like it's that, you know, they perpetuates whatever it
Speaker 6: is that you want to perpetuate, And it's just such
Speaker 6: a bummer that principal people like don't want to be
Speaker 6: wealthy and don't want to like have a power over people,
Speaker 6: which is good, but it's just like, fuck, man, how
Speaker 6: do we really change all this shit? You know exactly
Speaker 6: what you were saying. It's like to have seventeen people
Speaker 6: ready to fucking infiltrate that shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's the thing that gets people in line,
Speaker 3: you know, like they go, oh, you don't you don't
Speaker 3: want to take this money from APEC, Right? I guess
Speaker 3: what then will primary you? And it takes someone to
Speaker 3: be like I don't give up, go ahead, yeah, because
Speaker 3: we'll run somebody. I got fucking thirty five thousand people
Speaker 3: behind me that are ready to fucking also just be
Speaker 3: a body just to be a vote, like not to
Speaker 3: be a career politician, but to be a vote. And
Speaker 3: I think that's like a paradigm shift that may or
Speaker 3: may not happen. But I don't know, Like there's there's
Speaker 3: so many other factors that play.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I started rewatching Veep and I'm just like, so like, yeah,
Speaker 6: this has got to be what it's like, this shit
Speaker 6: is so insane. How could it not be this?
Speaker 1: That's what all the political operatives were like, this is
Speaker 1: the first time it's actually been accurate, except like, our
Speaker 1: insults aren't as good as their insults.
Speaker 6: Of course they're not that smart.
Speaker 3: In DC, they call it Hollywood for ugly people.
Speaker 1: That's what they say.
Speaker 6: That's funny.
Speaker 3: But the wild shit is like so with this rifkid,
Speaker 3: the thing that really blows my mind right is like
Speaker 3: after this like brainworm shit, Like someone asked, you know
Speaker 3: his campaign about being like yo, this guy said he's
Speaker 3: got like he's saying, yo, I got cognitive issues and
Speaker 3: they're like, is this going to be a problem, And
Speaker 3: the spokesperson said, quote that is a hilarious suggestion given
Speaker 3: the competition, right.
Speaker 1: And they're so right. That's what helps me up. And
Speaker 1: they're so right.
Speaker 3: He's up against a decrepit monkey skeleton and a sentient
Speaker 3: racist diaper, and you're like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The motherfucker way too much sushi. I guess with anti VAXX,
Speaker 1: I mean, put.
Speaker 4: It, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: That's so frustrating. There's like much better, you know, qualified, smarter,
Speaker 6: more intelligent, more eloquent people, but it's like they don't
Speaker 6: have the funding. And it's like, j Loo, take that
Speaker 6: twenty million and find someone interesting to get into politics.
Speaker 6: I just I just everything feels insane.
Speaker 1: Well, just that movie is timeless. That's gonna be a museum.
Speaker 3: Jack O'Brien, that part, Yeah, yeah, with fucking posts Malone
Speaker 3: being one of the fucking whatever.
Speaker 6: The I couldn't even get through. I think I got
Speaker 6: through the second song and I was like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 6: not doing this. This is insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In the movie, yeah, he plays like there's like a
Speaker 3: there's like a council of the zodiac symbols and like
Speaker 3: people are like embodying.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and I watched it. It's just he disappears
Speaker 1: into his roles so much that.
Speaker 6: I Smelleyballs get together.
Speaker 1: I thought it was pre Ma alone.
Speaker 3: The other thing is like, yeah, I think hopefully more
Speaker 3: people just understand right that with our the illusion of
Speaker 3: having primaries and things like that, it's truly what the
Speaker 3: ruling class wants to put on the menu for us,
Speaker 3: you know, Like because there are so many progressive people
Speaker 3: that have tried to run get bodied out, you see
Speaker 3: what happens to like, you know, every every nearly every
Speaker 3: election cycle, there's someone who's like has a message that
Speaker 3: is trying to go against the status quo, and it's
Speaker 3: just like, oh, you know, let's pretend, you know, a
Speaker 3: fuck them, get the money. You know what.
Speaker 6: Also, I'll say to that too. I have a friend
Speaker 6: who's voted third party as long as I've known her,
Speaker 6: and she's a civil rights lawyer, Like she's about about
Speaker 6: it right, And I have never like looked down on
Speaker 6: her when she would do that, because I was like,
Speaker 6: that's fucking her choice. You gets to make whatever choice
Speaker 6: she wants. But with this round, where like I've been
Speaker 6: telling people like I don't know, I don't know what
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do, Like I'm gonna obviously vote for all
Speaker 6: the other shit. I was like, but I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think I'm just gonna leave it blank for you know,
Speaker 6: the president, because I just feel I feel insane. I
Speaker 6: don't feel principled. I mean, I don't feel like it's principled.
Speaker 6: And uh, I have gotten so many condescending responses to that,
Speaker 6: and I'm just like, and I ended up texting my
Speaker 6: friend that again has been voting third party since she's
Speaker 6: been able to. I asked, sure, if I've ever been
Speaker 6: at condescending dickhead to her, because I've never experienced I've
Speaker 6: never I've never thought about voting third party or just
Speaker 6: not voting for, you know, the Democrat, and so I've
Speaker 6: been talking to people about that and yeah, everyone's so rude. Anyways,
Speaker 6: she was like, no, you've never been that way, and
Speaker 6: I was like, thank god. I was like, I mean, logically,
Speaker 6: it makes no sense, but it just made me glad
Speaker 6: that I was never that person, because it just it
Speaker 6: feels so insane that people are just so they have
Speaker 6: no desire to think that change or improvement can exist,
Speaker 6: like it's an option, Like it's just not an option
Speaker 6: for people. And I find it so it's really disheartening.
Speaker 6: I guess I just want to say that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it also speaks to a level
Speaker 3: of comfort someone is experiencing when you can look at
Speaker 3: all these things on the horizon and for many people,
Speaker 3: they're like, Yo, this looks like this ends with me
Speaker 3: being imprisoned or having the rights severely restricted. And they're like, nah,
Speaker 3: I've been good, I'll probably be good. Yeah, And then
Speaker 3: they're like, don't fuck this up for me. And you know,
Speaker 3: that's why I think it's this is such a fucking
Speaker 3: precarious election, man, because everything that's happening resonates with so
Speaker 3: many different people in so many dimensions, and like for
Speaker 3: all the handwringing about like you know, the the fascism
Speaker 3: that Donald Trump is gonna bring, which I understand, it's
Speaker 3: it can be a completely different dimension. But like what
Speaker 3: we are seeing even with the way this, like the
Speaker 3: police are behaving with students, you look at in the sixties,
Speaker 3: like in the seventies, like these Vietnam protests, there was
Speaker 3: no militarized response off the fucking bat like there is now.
Speaker 3: That's fine, this is this is completely different shit like
Speaker 3: they would have time travels been like oh shit, they're
Speaker 3: doing all like that already, right, They're like, you know,
Speaker 3: like it's anyway, the times are very different, and I
Speaker 3: think that's what just makes it very hard to like
Speaker 3: think about how how things improve and what the pathway
Speaker 3: there is, and like, yeah, the other times when I
Speaker 3: talk to like people who do a lot of like
Speaker 3: activist work, like in the streets and stuff and doing
Speaker 3: like working for like nonprofits and things, they're like, they're like,
Speaker 3: I think my job would be a lot harder if
Speaker 3: Trump's in office, because they'll, you know, the kinds of
Speaker 3: shit that they would try and make it legal would
Speaker 3: make really hard for me to work with like very
Speaker 3: vulnerable people. And it's just like there's so many there's
Speaker 3: so many late there's so many things to consider.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's but I think everybody's going through it
Speaker 1: and we shouldn't be condescending to each other on you know.
Speaker 6: It's also just what a what a terrible way to
Speaker 6: approach any conversation that someone was trying to have sincerely,
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, you can't actually have a conversation about this.
Speaker 6: You need to be a dickhead off junk, right. It's like,
Speaker 6: isn't the daily Zeitgeist and you're not a guest.
Speaker 4: You can't just do that, right.
Speaker 6: Sorry for the dog barking and I'm dog sitting. If
Speaker 6: we didn't already know, no, no, no, no's crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, Should we take a break and come back
Speaker 1: and talk about Jerry Seinfeld's weird movie that's a bumper
Speaker 1: comedic icon Seinfeld is for sure. Oh man, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back, and we're back. And at this point,
Speaker 1: Boeing and Terrible Publicity are like they go together like
Speaker 1: peanut butter and chocolate.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, like sardine and pretzel, the two famous combinations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if sardine and pretzel are peanut butter and chocolate
Speaker 1: products were constantly falling apart thirty thousand feet in the air.
Speaker 1: But Boeing has now locked out one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five of their unionized firefighters in Washington State. The union
Speaker 1: claims Boeing has saved billions in insurance costs by employing
Speaker 1: its own on site firefighters, but they're still paying these
Speaker 1: firefighters a pittance. They're proposed pay increase for these workers
Speaker 1: would mean that Cruise would be quote earning twenty to
Speaker 1: thirty percent less than firefighters in the cities where Boeing
Speaker 1: plants are located.
Speaker 3: So you're you're taking less money to be a fighter.
Speaker 1: You're taking less money, but you get the the joy
Speaker 1: of working for Boeing basically an arms manufacturer who also
Speaker 1: has a side hustle where they make the planes that
Speaker 1: you fly around in. But yeah, it'd be like if
Speaker 1: Richie Rich paid the employees of his private McDonald's thirty
Speaker 1: percent less than the employees not working in a child's mansion.
Speaker 1: Any any other Richie rich fans out there.
Speaker 3: I mean the mcaulay culkin version.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, doesn't do Barber Streisan have McDonald's in her basement?
Speaker 1: I know she had, Yeah, but I don't know what
Speaker 1: I think does. I think it isn't. I think it
Speaker 1: is a McDonald's. Yeah, I wonder what their pay was
Speaker 1: like compared to like.
Speaker 3: He's probably got clones or something working in there, clone
Speaker 3: dogs and shit trained clones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, Boeing wants firefighters to extend the time
Speaker 1: it takes for firefighters to hit the top pay scale
Speaker 1: to nineteen years, up from fourteen. The union is asking
Speaker 1: for five and they're like, uh, how about we take
Speaker 1: your five and add it to the already insulting. That
Speaker 1: is such a hopeless situation we put you in.
Speaker 3: They're probably like, oh, we misunderstood. I thought, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: you didn't want the five, you don't want five more?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: It's like they're trying to incentivize people to keep their
Speaker 4: planes falling out of the sky, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's like, why don't you like treating their employees so terribly?
Speaker 4: Is just incentivizing them to do a shitty job on
Speaker 4: every aspect of plane production.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially the people that you know, like the firefighters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, assumably at the facility, Like, oh, would that one
Speaker 3: just get a little bit singed?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, put it in, put it in. It's good,
Speaker 1: it's good. We're good here. It's air. You're gonna have fight.
Speaker 1: I mean, the AI is going to replace firefighters anyways. Guys.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what we're even talking about here.
Speaker 1: You know people, you know, people are talking like that
Speaker 1: right now. Oh yeah, the people in Boeing. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine like that? Who don't even get a fucking need pilot?
Speaker 1: Do you kid it? Have you seen the fuck do
Speaker 1: you think auto pilot is? Motherfucker? Dude, We're so fucking close.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna get those inflatable guys from air the
Speaker 4: movie Airplane.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But so they're locking out trained firefighters, which might
Speaker 1: seem like a pretty huge safety risk, but not to
Speaker 1: worry because they're bringing in a fleet full of highly
Speaker 1: qualified scabs.
Speaker 5: Ah boy.
Speaker 1: They're also currently in talks with the International Association of
Speaker 1: Machinists and Aerospace Workers District seven fifty one and Puget Sound,
Speaker 1: who want not just better wages, but a greater say
Speaker 1: in the company and high standards of safety for Boeing manufacturing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good luck. Standards of safety. Yeah, if they follow the
Speaker 1: same negotiating tactic, they'll like start sprinkling like rusty nails
Speaker 1: around the you know, like just like super dangerous ship
Speaker 1: everywhere to Yeah, just loose bags make it more less safe.
Speaker 4: Yeah. How'd you get a loaded guns? Loaded guns with
Speaker 4: no safety mechanism or whatever, just a plan yeah inside
Speaker 4: like a paint can shaker.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's put those in there. You
Speaker 3: should be right, you'll be right.
Speaker 1: Just drop them next to you and you have to
Speaker 1: remember not to grab them because.
Speaker 4: Switch blades and machetties just around thick.
Speaker 1: Fast ah got his ass.
Speaker 3: God, what are scab firefighters even, like like I you know,
Speaker 3: like what who are these guys?
Speaker 1: They're like out of.
Speaker 3: Work firefighters or something like, isn't you know like I'm
Speaker 3: even like trying to wrap my head around, like I mean,
Speaker 3: I get that there are private firefighting brigades because that's
Speaker 3: like where like half of the like the like people
Speaker 3: in Malibu you use, those kinds of people are in Calabastes.
Speaker 3: So I just answered my own question.
Speaker 1: It's like the private ties firefighters, please, thank you.
Speaker 4: I have to hope they're not as hot as regular fight.
Speaker 1: Much like shittier firefighters.
Speaker 4: A little heavier, not nearly as sexy. Teeth that is white,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, budget perfect, handlebar mustaches perfect.
Speaker 4: They don't have Dalmatians. They have kind of like sick
Speaker 4: looking like like wiry mutts.
Speaker 3: Yeah right exactly, Yeah, like Christy nomespuppy Yeah. Speaking of which,
Speaker 3: speaking of which, oh man, well, Puppy Side Lady is
Speaker 3: now getting destroyed by her own very sad just briefly
Speaker 3: checking back in because this is somehow the ghost written
Speaker 3: book that keeps on giving. But she had pretty easy
Speaker 3: interviews with most conservative outlets early on in like the
Speaker 3: dog killing controversy, but recently that has not been the case.
Speaker 3: In the last day, she's had some pretty hard interviews,
Speaker 3: like on Fox Business, she went to speak with Stuart
Speaker 3: Varney and he pretty much was unrelenting and trying to
Speaker 3: get her to admit that maybe it was a bit
Speaker 3: of a fuck up to include that weird shit in
Speaker 3: her book about just being like, Yeah, my fucking kill dogs, bros.
Speaker 3: Because I'm tough and that fucking with me. I will
Speaker 3: put them down. I don't give a fuck if you're
Speaker 3: fourteen months So you're talking about puppy, right, No, talking
Speaker 3: about a dog. She gets in an argument with him
Speaker 3: where she's like, you're talking about a puppy. She's like, well, no,
Speaker 3: it's a dog. It's an adult working dog. It's like
Speaker 3: fourteen months. She's like yeah, and then that's real and
Speaker 3: he's like, when my kids to work, so what Yeah?
Speaker 3: But uh, it was like this interview was part like
Speaker 3: let me help you out of this shit storm, here's
Speaker 3: an opportunity for you to write this ship, maybe do
Speaker 3: a Maya kulpa, when part let me just make this
Speaker 3: freak squirm. So after going back and forth, on the
Speaker 3: topic for a couple of minutes. They switched topics to
Speaker 3: talk about like plumbers and stuff and electricians and South Dakota,
Speaker 3: and then he came right back asking if she still
Speaker 3: thought she had a fucking shot at being VP. And
Speaker 3: this is where like it got a little bit contentious.
Speaker 1: You get truth here we go.
Speaker 9: Do you still think that you are in line to
Speaker 9: be Trump's vice president? It's up to Donald Trump. He's
Speaker 9: the only person who will decide this. He's the only
Speaker 9: person who will decide. And I spoke, yes, I do
Speaker 9: speak to him. May I ask what you said to
Speaker 9: you about being Oh I never tell anybody my personal
Speaker 9: conversations with I talked to President Trump all the time
Speaker 9: about the dogs, about a lot of things. And right
Speaker 9: now I tell you what. He is being persecuted in
Speaker 9: a political hunt, which hunt in this court case. So
Speaker 9: I'm proud of him about how tough he is and
Speaker 9: how well he is doing. Did you bring up enough, Steward?
Speaker 9: This interview is ridiculous what you were doing right now,
Speaker 9: So you need to stop it is okay, it is
Speaker 9: Let's talk about some real topics that Americans care about.
Speaker 9: We're out of time, Oh, well, of course we are.
Speaker 9: We do.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. Od just but the
Speaker 1: dog though.
Speaker 3: I like how she's so slippery with this shit that
Speaker 3: it's not like you've spoken to Donald Trump. She goes,
Speaker 3: I speak to Donald Trump, So no, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, like doing that kind of you know, fucking
Speaker 3: with tents there just to be like I'm gonna dodge
Speaker 3: the question.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you hear that.
Speaker 3: Just Stuart, enough, you're fucking flaming me on Fox. This
Speaker 3: isn't supposed to happen. You're supposed to act like that
Speaker 3: was cool shit I did. And then she got fucking
Speaker 3: bodied the same day on Newsmax when some guy robbed
Speaker 3: Finnerty apparently this guy's name started off saying, I think
Speaker 3: you were probably like he starts off this appearance by saying,
Speaker 3: I think in the beginning you were like at the
Speaker 3: probably at the top of the list for VP options.
Speaker 3: But after this shit book, I don't think you're even
Speaker 3: in the convo, my lady, And then he this time
Speaker 3: he's pressing her about that fake ass meeting with Kim
Speaker 3: Jong un, which again never her fucking happened, and she
Speaker 3: won't quite admit that it never happened, and that's where
Speaker 3: it gets again. That's where this one gets her publisher.
Speaker 1: Has admitted it didn't happen because they've like gone and said,
Speaker 1: we had to go back to that. Of course they
Speaker 1: don't blame her, like we had to talk to the
Speaker 1: ghost writer and the editor and yeah, change change a
Speaker 1: couple of things.
Speaker 3: Wow, So the governor had doesn't even vet the shit
Speaker 3: that goes in the book because that's would be a
Speaker 3: problem too, it was a really bad ghost writer. Well,
Speaker 3: and then he starts off by saying he's like, you know,
Speaker 3: I think the big problem right now politicians is they lie.
Speaker 3: And she's like yeah, yeah. He's like, so what about
Speaker 3: Kim jong un?
Speaker 1: Well gets her with that. Uh.
Speaker 3: And this is again where this is a little bit
Speaker 3: further into the conversation, but he's still just not letting
Speaker 3: it go that she won't admit that she did not
Speaker 3: meet Kim Jong un.
Speaker 9: Ask for the content to be changed and it has been.
Speaker 1: Governor.
Speaker 10: I'm not asking you about the details of this alleged meeting.
Speaker 10: I'm asking if the meeting actually happened. I don't think
Speaker 10: it did, and I think if it did, you'd be
Speaker 10: able to confirm for me that yes, it did, and
Speaker 10: here's when it happened. It happens say at such and
Speaker 10: such a date or a month, or.
Speaker 9: You don't have to be about I'm not going to
Speaker 9: talk about.
Speaker 10: You're going to continue to have to answer this question.
Speaker 9: I don't think so, because the average American citizen is
Speaker 9: more worried about the border. They're more worried about what
Speaker 9: we see in a white house.
Speaker 3: Then you're lying that's that's such a weird pivot.
Speaker 4: And it's always like, you know, they're always turning it
Speaker 4: around on brown people. That's all like, actually, you know
Speaker 4: what they can do. They actually hate Mexicans. I think
Speaker 4: she should double down on this thing. She I think
Speaker 4: she should come prepared with a photograph of her, like
Speaker 4: like writing piggyback on Kim Jong un.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: They're like they're both like they're like they're both like
Speaker 4: a family who like refused to honor his name or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, She's like, Governor, can I see your hands for
Speaker 3: a moment, Yes, here, Okay, so it looks like you
Speaker 3: have five fingers now in this photo, you have seventeen
Speaker 3: fingers on your right.
Speaker 1: Is this ai?
Speaker 4: She goes on, she's one of the dresses from the
Speaker 4: from the met Gallup.
Speaker 9: Misled the American people over one hundred and fifty times.
Speaker 1: Nobody pushes him.
Speaker 9: On what he says that he was imprisoned with Nelson Mandela,
Speaker 9: that he drove an eighteen wheeler that his uncle was.
Speaker 1: And said he was in prison with Nelson Mandela. Is
Speaker 1: that a real thing? Honestly?
Speaker 3: Probably, I mean at this point, yeah, probably, just like
Speaker 3: fucking jumble up there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I would like to see that the American
Speaker 9: people know and recognize the difference that they want leaders
Speaker 9: who actually will go forward and give them a way
Speaker 9: that they can elect people who want to represent them
Speaker 9: and fight for them governor.
Speaker 10: That's a very good point, and I'm not deliberately trying
Speaker 10: to be adversarial. I just Donald Trump winning and is
Speaker 10: very important.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
Speaker 10: I think that whoever he chooses to be his running mate.
Speaker 10: And again, I think at one point you were at
Speaker 10: the top of that list. But you're going to get
Speaker 10: questions a lot more difficult than that.
Speaker 9: The thing that's very interesting to me is the only
Speaker 9: person who will decide.
Speaker 1: Is Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: You said that in the last interview, but anyway, just
Speaker 3: you hate to see it, you hate to see it.
Speaker 3: It's just funny when like you so clear, like Michael
Speaker 3: Jordan was at my birthday party, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: really I think he was.
Speaker 1: Though, right, I don't think he was. Yeah, that seems
Speaker 1: really unlikely.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't know if the other
Speaker 3: kids in schools are gonna like that. Well, you know what,
Speaker 3: they don't care because they're worried about the fact that
Speaker 3: the tater tots are so bad in the cafeteria, right, Okay,
Speaker 3: that won't matter to them. Next question, Rob, please, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know where God, I mean again, I don't
Speaker 3: think I've ever seen her in motion before. She really
Speaker 3: seems like an evil character being played by Christina Applegate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She seems like the substitute teacher who
Speaker 4: like slept with one of the students to ruin their lives,
Speaker 4: just to ruin the kids line.
Speaker 1: All right, finally, the met Gala, we can't we can't
Speaker 1: go much further, guys, of everything that's happening, everything that's happening,
Speaker 1: we would be remiss to not We would be so
Speaker 1: super remiss not to mention the met gala where most
Speaker 1: of the pictures that I saw were AI which is
Speaker 1: so insulting to the stylists. Like people were like, nah,
Speaker 1: just like this fucking thing that somebody made up by
Speaker 1: being like turned Katy Perry into a character from a
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings slash fiic thing. Yeah, like got
Speaker 1: more clicks than anyone.
Speaker 3: It's like a bronze boostier with a bronze boostier with
Speaker 3: a key, a garden key. Yeah, see your garden key
Speaker 3: down the middle Garden of Time. I don't know if
Speaker 3: you remember that being the thing.
Speaker 1: And then to two to two like made of flowers,
Speaker 1: it's Lady Gaga became a layer cake that defied physics,
Speaker 1: looked like the Guggenheim and you was gonna.
Speaker 3: Say, yeah, look like the googen High is bleeding flowers
Speaker 3: from it seems. And that's Lady Gay Gay Gay Lady Gaga.
Speaker 1: And then uh Rihanna of course looking like a chair
Speaker 1: that the Pope would sit.
Speaker 3: In slash You know that thing when people do embroidery,
Speaker 3: like you have to put it in that like circular wooden.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, that's like stretch frame for embroidery.
Speaker 3: She's wearing that and has seventeen fingers on her right hand.
Speaker 1: But these are these are photo like of the photos
Speaker 1: that I saw from the Met Gala, these were the
Speaker 1: ones that stuck in my head, I think, And you know,
Speaker 1: I probably glanced past like a dozen on social media,
Speaker 1: you know, as I was trying to follow the results
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Timberwolves just beating the ship out of
Speaker 1: the defending champs. How have we gotten this long without
Speaker 1: mentioning it? Worry? I don't want to time. Sorry, that's
Speaker 1: the craziest game I've seen. We have a whole other
Speaker 1: show where we can Yeah, I guess we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that on our end podcast. But the yeah, like, these
Speaker 1: were the ones that popped up that I remembered, So
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now I'm scared of AI again, guys.
Speaker 4: Sure, No. I love how unbelievable those are. It looks
Speaker 4: I'm expecting one of like j Lo's face in front
Speaker 4: of the Thomas the Tank Engine you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: j Lo stunts Thomas Tank Engine Garden like one of
Speaker 4: the kids from Euphoria. But they're like their faces it's
Speaker 4: in the moon or something, just like unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Shit, Yeah, holy shit, Yeah, these are whatever, man, this
Speaker 3: is where we're at.
Speaker 1: This is uh met Gala. Ai.
Speaker 3: I guess, like I said November, this summer is gonna
Speaker 3: get real fucking weird, and I'm sure the gloves come
Speaker 3: off for political more political misinformation into.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can you imagine when they have Trump
Speaker 1: in this copper Bostier with the key running down the model,
Speaker 1: it's god, fuck up the Internet.
Speaker 4: And everyone over forty five leaves. It's true automatically, like
Speaker 4: they there's such a generational divide.
Speaker 1: They just can.
Speaker 4: I mean, I have difficulty telling with a lot of it.
Speaker 4: But then there are people who just have no idea.
Speaker 4: Yes on the Internet has to be true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from now on, it's just like you have to
Speaker 1: assume nothing is true. But yeah, yeah, you just have
Speaker 1: to look.
Speaker 3: It's always like look at the hands, look at the background.
Speaker 3: There's a certain things that have like give that, you know,
Speaker 3: tell on them a bit. Like there's some of the photographers.
Speaker 3: One guy has a head so long. He looks like,
Speaker 3: what are the what are the aliens the technical term
Speaker 3: for the aliens and aliensmorph zeno morph. This dude has
Speaker 3: a xenomorph dome. Yeah, but somehow he's looking at like
Speaker 3: a I don't know, like an ancient camera whatever. Hey man,
Speaker 3: Rihanna looks great. Rihanna, you look great. And also you
Speaker 3: look like this photo was from when you were like
Speaker 3: twenty four.

Speaker 1: the way they got my old ass is like they
Speaker 1: focused on celebrities that I'm familiar with and like the
Speaker 1: time that they were at their pe of fame and
Speaker 1: just like put them in pictures. It with like Met
Speaker 1: this year's met Gallathem. I was like, oh, there we go.
