Speaker 2: the meat off that doll bone.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Miles, we gotta kind of we gotta kind of

Speaker 1: So guest for today one very funny comedian, mister Daniel
Speaker 1: van Kirk.
Speaker 2: But he's not here. He's screen that you know when
Speaker 2: we scream they're here, and he would go, oh, thank
Speaker 2: you guys, thank you so much. I love you guys,
Speaker 2: so good to be here. But Miles will be playing
Speaker 2: the role of day of Van Kirk, hilarious comedian. Go
Speaker 2: find him on all the socials, find out where his
Speaker 2: next stop is. He's hilarious. He's the best, folks.
Speaker 1: But he's he's so good that he is flying to
Speaker 1: different places, like on a jet airplane. Okay, because like
Speaker 1: people in others cities, not just the city he lives in,
Speaker 1: but people in other cities have heard about him and
Speaker 1: they're like, that guy seems funny.
Speaker 2: He should come to us, and so he's doing that.
Speaker 2: But the jet airplanes keep keep they fucked us, They're
Speaker 2: fucking us, you fucking you fucked us a big time airplanes.
Speaker 1: And so mister van Kirk is currently stuck at an
Speaker 1: airport in the Midwest on his way to.
Speaker 2: Maybe I shouldn't say where he's on his way to.
Speaker 2: We'll we'll beep that. So but he did file some
Speaker 2: reports from Yeah, this is how much of a stand
Speaker 2: up guy Daniel van Kirk is. We're scrambling. We're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: so what's good? Should we just find like we can
Speaker 2: find another guest or somebody's like, no, like, I got
Speaker 2: something for you, I got some I want my voice
Speaker 2: on the show. So we have on the ground reporting
Speaker 2: from an an anonymous Midwestern airport, is what we stand
Speaker 2: up comedian stand up guy? That like truly that could
Speaker 2: be the words on his website stand up comedian, stand
Speaker 2: up guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, one of the best. And yeah he
Speaker 1: filed some report. Not since years ago when I was
Speaker 1: pushed out of my house by the fires in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: have we had somebody file a report from Oh yeah
Speaker 1: you remember, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And I was just
Speaker 1: shouting at you even though I was just at my
Speaker 1: aunt's house. Yeah, still, Miles, things are crazy over here. Anyways,
Speaker 1: got another man on the street report, So instead of
Speaker 1: doing a search.
Speaker 2: History overrated underrated, Dan has filed.
Speaker 1: He's conducted an interview from inside Midwestern Airport. He's taken
Speaker 1: us a little tour of a Hudson News so we
Speaker 1: know what's popping. We're gonna listen to those reports, dropping
Speaker 1: some commentary of our own before we get to it, though, Miles,
Speaker 1: we do like to tell our listeners what is what
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about a little bit later.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that speaker shit show, the speaker
Speaker 2: ship Show. Yeah, the speaker ship Show. I'm now, I'm
Speaker 2: just like in a posture where I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'm reading misinformation or mishearing things like bones and dollones
Speaker 2: and everything happening in Gaza and Israel. And now I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: wait a speak speaker, Oh, speaker shit show the thing
Speaker 2: that I reader, the speaker ship Show.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the sag after strike. Continuing, we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: the question that's all on everyone's mind. Is Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: too powerful? At this point, it's the reviews are rolling
Speaker 1: in for her movie and they're all just like yeah, no,
Speaker 1: like stop making sense the previous like you know critical
Speaker 1: choice for Best concert film can go fuck itself?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, the Last Waltz more like Waft of Balls. Wow,
Speaker 2: because those things suck compared to this move. No, they
Speaker 2: really seem to like it. So we're gonna be We're
Speaker 2: gonna stop making sense.
Speaker 1: So I'm making sense the talking heads Jonathan Demi it's
Speaker 1: out right now, A four re like I don't know,
Speaker 1: re release where, yeah, yeah, yeah, mastered, remastered.
Speaker 2: It's really good.
Speaker 1: I had never seen it and I saw it in
Speaker 1: the theater yesterday and it was okay. Just preparing myself
Speaker 1: for the coming of Taylor to the cineplex. Uh, I
Speaker 1: had to see what else existed in this genre. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I just want to ask the question, is this the
Speaker 1: most famous a single person has ever been in our lifetime? No, okay, wait,
Speaker 1: I have I have some other options that I'm.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll get it. Yeah, well, we'll get into it.
Speaker 2: I mean not to say I mean by far, she's
Speaker 2: she is, like she is approaching even another height of
Speaker 2: her powers for sure. Most famous, Like you kind of
Speaker 2: to pass that test. You kind of got to just
Speaker 2: be able to show a picture to somebody anywhere in
Speaker 2: the world and they're immediately like, oh, yeah, I already know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe in America, I don't know. Oh by far, by far,
Speaker 2: the most famous anyone's ever been in America. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: right now, the most famous entertainer. Like everything, Well, we'll
Speaker 2: get well, there's a lot going on. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Also good news that we might not have time to
Speaker 1: get to. But Eminem's are going to be delivering eminems
Speaker 1: to people's houses on Halloween night. If you're out, that's okay. Really,
Speaker 1: I'll test that. I'll test that there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But before we get to any of that ship miles,
Speaker 1: we do want to check in with a report from
Speaker 1: Daniel van Kirk on the ground in a Midwestern airport,
Speaker 1: filing from his phone and just he's just like recorded
Speaker 1: it send it to us over email this morning.
Speaker 2: So let's listen. This is an interview with somebody who
Speaker 2: works for one of the airlines and wanting to I
Speaker 2: think he starts off just from the little bit I've
Speaker 2: heard of the very beginning, getting some some travel tips
Speaker 2: from from who else who would know best than somebody
Speaker 2: who works at the airport.
Speaker 5: Here we go, Hey, it's Daniel van Kirk. I am
Speaker 5: doing an on the ground reporting for the Daily Zeitgeist
Speaker 5: Best Podcasts to get all the happenings going on around
Speaker 5: the world. I'm how did he know our new Midwest?
Speaker 5: Right now talking to somebody who knows.
Speaker 2: TM the best place to get all best better than
Speaker 2: anybody they worked for for an airline in the Midwest.
Speaker 5: I want to I want to ask you. Let's call
Speaker 5: you Max, and I want you to not call you
Speaker 5: Max saying anything. What's the what's the best tip? Like
Speaker 5: a wrong Thanksgiving Christmas season? How early should somebody get
Speaker 5: to the airport? Because I have my theory, but I
Speaker 5: want to hear you. I'm two hours a miles.
Speaker 3: You have three hours early three consolidate your bags?
Speaker 5: Wait you really think three hours?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that's too far off. Have
Speaker 2: you been to the airport?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Has been given yourself to two hours traveling dominic during
Speaker 1: the holidays? Yeah, maybe the holiday is a little different.
Speaker 1: But I have a hard time getting I don't do
Speaker 1: that extra hour, getting myself to commit to the extra hour.
Speaker 2: I do two hours. That's like my standard for domestic
Speaker 2: flights usually because that's usually what it is unless I'm
Speaker 2: flying out at Burbank, shout out Burbank, which I'll pull
Speaker 2: up thirty minutes before boarding, and I'm good.
Speaker 1: Burbank like a like I'm catching the bus, I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a plane.
Speaker 2: As people are boreding, I'm like wait, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: hey you do hey, don't close the door. Don't close
Speaker 2: it here let me. If you're gonna make me walk
Speaker 2: outside to get to my plane, you better assume that
Speaker 2: I'm going to be a little bit Yeah haphazard exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: here we go, moving on. So he's saying three hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, security, I.
Speaker 5: Mean that's what they put because it's you just never
Speaker 5: know what you're gonna run into. I tell people, even
Speaker 5: if you fly twice a year, you should do clear m.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good tip.
Speaker 5: Stress.
Speaker 2: I love this guy's and these guys. DVK pulls up
Speaker 2: to this dude like hey, man, like can do an
Speaker 2: interview real quick? Like yeah, all right, you are.
Speaker 1: Proof that day Man Kirk could get along with like
Speaker 1: truly anybody. Not that there's anything wrong, but like, this
Speaker 1: is just this is how he talks to you, This
Speaker 1: is how he talks to me, This is how he
Speaker 1: talks to the guy.
Speaker 2: In at the airport. At the airport who works for
Speaker 2: an airline also clear? I don't know you have clear? No,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have t SA pre check. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I got TSA PreCheck check. Isn't it clear? Like I
Speaker 2: feel like clear. I didn't do it because like it
Speaker 2: involved more steps and I was like, nah, dude, Like,
Speaker 2: well you have.
Speaker 1: To like do it at the airport, and you have to,
Speaker 1: Like my wife keeps being like, all right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's let's like get you clear now that we're at
Speaker 1: the airport.
Speaker 2: But we're not.
Speaker 1: We're never there in time. Why are you taking never
Speaker 1: I'm traveling.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I have a bag that's half open with
Speaker 2: paper streaming out of it just behind me.
Speaker 5: So yeah, Now I want to ask you this. Do
Speaker 5: you have more or less drunk passengers around the holiday season?
Speaker 5: Way more real because it's people who don't fly as
Speaker 5: much and they have anxiety.
Speaker 3: Yep, thinking for the airport, they wait and they drink.
Speaker 5: N man, how often do you know ahead of time?
Speaker 5: Like you know who your people are going to be
Speaker 5: before they ever even approach the gate.
Speaker 3: You usually see them sitting at the bar.
Speaker 2: That's a good point, though you're drinking is fully on
Speaker 2: display at the airport, you know. It's not like there's
Speaker 2: like a back back bar like yeah, you know, And
Speaker 2: so it's just interesting to hear that, Like the people
Speaker 2: who work for the airline are clocking you as they
Speaker 2: walk by and see you at bellied up to the
Speaker 2: bar with like an empty like double pint of beer
Speaker 2: and three shot glasses. The things just like a whole
Speaker 2: row of empty shot glasses upside down on the bar,
Speaker 2: Like all right, this one's trouble squire, see you later.
Speaker 5: I want to see you later. I'm going to see
Speaker 5: you later.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: Here's the only question I have. Is there a limit
Speaker 5: to how many dogs can be on a plane?
Speaker 2: Like physically, like by the loss of animals, you could have.
Speaker 3: Five or six.
Speaker 5: Have you ever seen an animal that wasn't a dog
Speaker 5: or a cat?
Speaker 3: Have you had a bird?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any more.
Speaker 5: There was a story once, I don't know if it
Speaker 5: was true or not, that somebody tried to bring a
Speaker 5: like a goose or like a peacock onto a plane.
Speaker 3: Actually, I seen penguins on the plane.
Speaker 5: You've seen the movie Penguins on a Plane. They had
Speaker 5: to see world flight coming in no kidding, penguins coming off.
Speaker 3: They walked off.
Speaker 2: Okay, now here's this guy might be a little bit tick,
Speaker 2: but it's like it's hard to tell. It's like, is
Speaker 2: he like fucked up on like on Benzo's on the
Speaker 2: job or is he like one of those super laid
Speaker 2: back like one note people, because like I have friends
Speaker 2: like like like where they have like Steven Wright kind
Speaker 2: of cadence and delivery, and you're like, this guy's fucked up.
Speaker 2: You're like, nah, man, this is just this is them.
Speaker 2: They got one tune they play and it's this one.
Speaker 3: If I'm wrong.
Speaker 5: If you're only allowed to bring so many items onto
Speaker 5: a plane, right, personal item and a carry on bag,
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty universal around airlines. But if you
Speaker 5: have a bag of food that you bought at the airline,
Speaker 5: does that count towards one of your items?
Speaker 2: Of course not the Daniel No.
Speaker 3: But if it's a huge bag, they do count it.
Speaker 3: But if you're a regular size food bag, no.
Speaker 5: So could it be possible if you have some third
Speaker 5: item you have to bring on. I mean, this is
Speaker 5: a great food bag, put it in the food bag
Speaker 5: and then you probably will get on the flight with
Speaker 5: that item. Because they'll just assume you got like a
Speaker 5: twenty seven dollars chicken sandwich.
Speaker 3: People get creative.
Speaker 1: Carry on bags that look like McDonald's bags. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: I'm putting it out there. That's a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2: Just right, that we all have all these like new
Speaker 2: stealth bags to bring on because like, yeah, every airline's
Speaker 2: like hold on, hold on, man, is your boy? Your
Speaker 2: baby needs formula? Oh that's that's forty bucks, man, that's
Speaker 2: forty bucks. Oh wait, oh it's McDonald's all right. Never exactly, Wow,
Speaker 2: this is heavy. What is just sixty pounds?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Just put in the overhead, please my McDonald's. I just
Speaker 2: like to keep it up there.
Speaker 5: In most airports if you need a quick bite to eat,
Speaker 5: because I have a theory that those those premate peanut
Speaker 5: butter and jelly sandwiches what do they call the ones
Speaker 5: that are circular?
Speaker 3: They've got a seventeen dollars half a ham sandwich right here?
Speaker 3: Is it worth it? No?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Never, No, it's never been worth it. No one has
Speaker 1: ever bought airpla airport food and been like this was
Speaker 1: the right price. They priced this correctly. It is pure
Speaker 1: price gouging.
Speaker 2: It is the.
Speaker 1: Cruelty of capitalism on display for all to see.
Speaker 2: I will give it up to like in like an
Speaker 2: airport in the UK, like you can always go like
Speaker 2: a Mark and Spencer's type thing like M and s
Speaker 2: or Sainsbury's and get like just like the meal deal
Speaker 2: sandwich which is like like three pounds. Like I'm like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: cut to Burbank.
Speaker 3: I bought it.
Speaker 2: I thought the sandwich weighs three pounds, three pounds sterling,
Speaker 2: three Great British pounds g GBP. And then at art
Speaker 2: like in fucking Burbank, bro the other day I got
Speaker 2: a fucking turkey sandwich. You know how much that shit was? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. I gonna guest sixteen. Yeah, I think they
Speaker 2: have to do to yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 2: a fucking anyway. But that's hey, that's that's what it be.
Speaker 2: Sometimes out here in the US. I think people should
Speaker 2: be able to carry on guitars and play a nice
Speaker 2: little song about you know, Jesus slippery exactly. That's the
Speaker 2: thing though, it's gonna be. It's gonna be like fucking
Speaker 2: raise you up on Eagles wings or like Wonderwall. Yeah
Speaker 2: you know Wonderwall, but like it ends up being about
Speaker 2: how much you love Jesus, you know, talking about a
Speaker 2: couple of lyrics. Can you make wonder? Can you make
Speaker 2: the wonder Wonderwall be about like the passion of the Christ, oh,
Speaker 2: like his crucifixion, Like to day is going to be
Speaker 2: the day that the effect? Whoa, it's just Jesus talking
Speaker 2: to Judas like wow, backbeat the word is on the
Speaker 2: street that the fire while talking to Pontus pilot on
Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, we got a point.
Speaker 3: Moving on.
Speaker 5: And then where would you do you recommend people park
Speaker 5: on the line, like at the actual airport?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Hell, I don't think it's usually better to find a
Speaker 5: something somewhere else. No, it's easier and more secure at
Speaker 5: to park in the garage. Okay, so that's what I
Speaker 5: did here today, So that makes me feel pretty good
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 1: I recommend you just park in the loading area, the
Speaker 1: passenger loading area, and then pick up your car when
Speaker 1: you get back. You know, it should be there. That's
Speaker 1: my advice. I don't travel much.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, when you hop out, throw the skycap
Speaker 2: your keys like they're the valley or the airport cops like, hey,
Speaker 2: you can't pass. You're like, hey, man, you don't have
Speaker 2: to gass her up. Just make sure you don't got
Speaker 2: to be things in.
Speaker 5: Her flights where people have opened up literal three course meals.
Speaker 2: On the fine.
Speaker 5: Is there anything that somebody could ever say like, hey,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, you can't eat baked salmon.
Speaker 3: On the foot only if.
Speaker 5: That's okay, And that's the discretionary decision as well, somebody.
Speaker 5: It's up to somebody, they decide if they think that's
Speaker 5: too offensive or non offensive enough. Man, all right, well
Speaker 5: that's that's gonna be my report where I talk to
Speaker 5: somebody who's in the know here at an airport in
Speaker 5: the Midwest. I assume just from both of our dialects,
Speaker 5: you can tell that we are in Saint Louis and
Speaker 5: everybody hates it down here because it's Saint Louis. I
Speaker 5: throw it back to you, guys, this is Daniel van
Speaker 5: Kirk on the ground.
Speaker 2: Wow, on the ground, not in the air, brilliantly, but
Speaker 2: what a report from the street. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think we learned a lot, learned a lot, learned a
Speaker 2: lot about each other. Yeah one for sure, Like you
Speaker 2: you really like to cut it close in the holidays,
Speaker 2: you're trying to do like a McAllister family trying to
Speaker 2: make the flight through the airport. If we are not frantic,
Speaker 2: we are not traveling. Oh yeah, what am I gonna.
Speaker 1: That doesn't give you. I mean, like if I get
Speaker 1: three hours. So the earliest I've ever I think this
Speaker 1: is part of it. The earliest I've ever gotten to
Speaker 1: the airport was the flight for my honeymoon, and.
Speaker 2: We got there three hours early, right, and we did
Speaker 2: it up a little bit and we got access to
Speaker 2: the like Captain's club or you know whatever, the lounge
Speaker 2: the lounge area, and went in there and we missed
Speaker 2: an international flight because we were having too much fun
Speaker 2: and just and also I hadn't changed. It was back
Speaker 2: at a time when like the phones didn't automatically change
Speaker 2: with the time though, so oh my god, I've been
Speaker 2: married fifteen over fifteen years. My wife still hasn't forgiven
Speaker 2: me for that shit. Well, like, but also I feel
Speaker 2: like the airlines usually, like at a lounge like that,
Speaker 2: they they scan your boarding pass so they have an
Speaker 2: idea of where a passenger might be if it's going
Speaker 2: to take off. Yeah, yeah, no, it uh, maybe they
Speaker 2: add to that after you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's called the O'Brien rule. Yeah, but we we.
Speaker 1: Got there, the plane was still there, but they wouldn't
Speaker 1: let us on.
Speaker 2: It was yeah, and I was wearing an internet video.
Speaker 1: I was wearing a T shirt I had had since
Speaker 1: like eighth grade and it had holes in it, and
Speaker 1: my wife had told me not to wear it to
Speaker 1: the airport because she.
Speaker 2: Was like that, like, it's just you're not gonna be
Speaker 2: nice to you. They think you And I was like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about. I just want to be
Speaker 2: comfortable when I'm traveling. The shirt is it is vintage,
Speaker 2: And they were like, no, you're not allowed on this plane.
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of here. Go back outside to rebook.
Speaker 2: You have to go back through security. And yeah, probably
Speaker 2: was at least partially due to my ratty ass T shirt.
Speaker 2: You know, man, classiest bullshit man, just a man of
Speaker 2: the people wearing your vaporized whatever. It was like an
Speaker 2: r EM shirt. It was a House of Pain T shirt.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah that's right. Yeah, you ain't getting
Speaker 2: on that plane Boston, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, all right,
Speaker 2: although they're from LA anyway.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Well we're all a little bit wiser heading into
Speaker 1: this holiday travel season. We're gonna take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come back and talk some news.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. And we're back, and let's get
Speaker 2: in a little news.
Speaker 1: Miles will two hand it. We'll do a little two hander.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Speaker shit Show, get your shot, your tickets
Speaker 2: for the Speaker shit Show. Just a quick check in
Speaker 2: with where our shitty politicians are at with getting Congress
Speaker 2: going again. Obviously snake Nips McCarthy is out, and now
Speaker 2: the real work, I guess whatever you call that begins
Speaker 2: to find the new speaker. I don't know. First of all,
Speaker 2: I just got a report that I've seen people like
Speaker 2: he his clause are so deep in the mainstream media
Speaker 2: that like they're writing articles where it's like is he out?
Speaker 2: Though it's like, what the fuck do you mean?
Speaker 1: Of course that it's like yeah, but I mean it
Speaker 1: could still be him, right, like technically potentially it could.
Speaker 2: But at this point, I'll just report on the horseshit
Speaker 2: that we do know, okay, which is now it seems
Speaker 2: like it's all boiled down to Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise.
Speaker 2: My oh, my Steve Scalise came out on top when
Speaker 2: the Republicans went to they voted on them, you know,
Speaker 2: for themselves to nominate somebody for the speakership. But it's
Speaker 2: not nearly enough votes to actually become the speaker because
Speaker 2: these fucking goons, they're just split again over who to support.
Speaker 2: Matt Gets, the one who famously was the brutus to
Speaker 2: snake nipple Caesar Caesar or snake nip Caesar? Is that track?
Speaker 2: Does that track? Was that a good one? Snake nips Caesar? Yeah,
Speaker 2: snake nips Caesar salad my favorite ones, Like you could
Speaker 2: either get grilled chicken or snack nips. Oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just think NIPSI the salad, hold the croutons low,
Speaker 2: low in sodium, and low and moral character. But Gates
Speaker 2: is down with Scalise. But then you're like, well what
Speaker 2: about me? Yeah, yeah, know me Taylor Green. She basically
Speaker 2: said she can't support him because he has cancer. Uh huh,
Speaker 2: because he has like a rare blood cancer that he's battling.
Speaker 2: He's like, I just, you know, like it was just
Speaker 2: being very patronizing, like it's probably not a good decision.
Speaker 2: So I'm with Jim Jordan, other various serious politicians. Very
Speaker 2: serious politicians like Nancy Mace says she can't vote for
Speaker 2: Scalise because he was kicking it at like David Duke
Speaker 2: events twenty years ago, which is valid, but she's not
Speaker 2: someone of real moral character, so that was more of
Speaker 2: just like an excuse to be like and that's why
Speaker 2: I don't like him. But also I will court his
Speaker 2: support when I am running for office, which she proudly
Speaker 2: does all the time. She knows she's a I don't know,
Speaker 2: she doesn't even I'm not even sure she knows what
Speaker 2: the scarlet letter is because she's been walking around Congress
Speaker 2: with a red a T shirt on to be like,
Speaker 2: they're shaming me for voting to oust Kevin McCarthy, And
Speaker 2: everyone's like, huh wait, didn't they all do that? What
Speaker 2: the are you talking about? Yeah, I mean there's a
Speaker 2: few of them. But she, for whatever reason, she was
Speaker 2: using you know, tapping into the historyonics and total lack
Speaker 2: of literary knowledge there for that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you have like, you know, other shits.
Speaker 1: She says here she's just an anarchist.
Speaker 2: Well, oh okay, well it was in calibri font so
Speaker 2: it didn't quite track as the anarchy A. And then
Speaker 2: you know, then there's also Jim Jordan, because Nancy mays like,
Speaker 2: I think I kind of like Jim Jordan, and we
Speaker 2: all know Jim Jordan as the you know, I think
Speaker 2: that the the og starter of the House Freedom Caucus,
Speaker 2: which are the absolute most gooney of the goon. And
Speaker 2: he's also you know a lot of story stories are
Speaker 2: now coming back up again because this is these are
Speaker 2: allegations he's been living it since I think for at
Speaker 2: least five years now. Back when he was a like
Speaker 2: assistant coach of the Higo State wrestling team, a lot
Speaker 2: of the athletes were telling him about the alleged abuse
Speaker 2: that they were experiencing by the team doctor, and he
Speaker 2: was just like, I don't know, I'm just gonna turn
Speaker 2: a blind eye to that. And now like we're starting
Speaker 2: to see more like these, like the wrestler quotes are
Speaker 2: coming back now that I guess he's seeking the speakership.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of other dumb details about all
Speaker 2: of this, but the longer.
Speaker 1: More oblivious than a sloth with a bag on his head, Wow,
Speaker 1: is that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just trying trying some different things out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I like that. I liked that. I want to keep it.
Speaker 1: I want to keep it in Carville for uh, for
Speaker 1: our speakers of the House.
Speaker 2: For some reason, I think that's fun more than more
Speaker 2: than tiny Gavill mcbang bang guy uh, because he's I
Speaker 2: mean that precious nobody voting. You're talking about that, you
Speaker 2: know not, I think, because yeah, it's like one of
Speaker 2: those things that if you wanted to keep track of
Speaker 2: all the dumb shit that happens on the hill, like
Speaker 2: we we'd never talk about actual things that are of consequence.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the math is pretty clear. He needs two
Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen votes to get to get in, you know,
Speaker 2: in a full house vote. Right now he only has
Speaker 2: one hundred, and he's the one leading because he had
Speaker 2: like one thirteen when he was got the nomination and
Speaker 2: he went to go speak to us like other people
Speaker 2: one on one and then he lost more support. So
Speaker 2: just it's just going to be, I believe, a continued
Speaker 2: shit show. And who knows if there's going to be
Speaker 2: another government shutdown because you know, Bill's got to get
Speaker 2: paid again on in mid November, so we will see
Speaker 2: how that funding is going to work.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to the thing. The thing
Speaker 1: that's of a concern and on everyone's mind is Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1: Did she get too too powerful?
Speaker 2: What's happening? So the revolt? The reviews? What inspired this?
Speaker 2: When did you? Why did you like? What? What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: Probably to the point like metacris this too powerful? Oh,
Speaker 2: Metacritic your favorite Metacritic ninety four. She's got ninety four
Speaker 2: on Metacritic. The reviews for Taylor Swift, the eras tour
Speaker 2: like they're treating it like, I mean, don't don't look now,
Speaker 2: don't say Oscar front Runner, but don't not say it either.
Speaker 2: The other thing I was like, so, how much are
Speaker 2: they expecting this to make? Like obviously it's sold a
Speaker 2: lot of pre sale tickets. The movie of her Tour
Speaker 2: is expected to make one hundred and fifty to two
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars in its first weekend. The top grossing
Speaker 2: concert film of all time is justin Bieber doing you know,
Speaker 2: doing the Bieber. It's not the one direction one, the
Speaker 2: one direction one. Didn't even do Bieber numbers. No Bieber
Speaker 2: at the top, mostly off domestic. You know, he's very domestic. Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the name of this concert movie is.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're all named by the same person.
Speaker 1: Don't Stop Believing. Don't Stop Believing is out. No, it can't.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't. They wouldn't call it that.
Speaker 2: But justin bieber Our World the Amazon original or justin
Speaker 2: Bieber's Believe or just Believe. Oh I never said, I
Speaker 2: don't know, man, But anyways. It topped out at ninety
Speaker 2: nine million dollars total. Taylor Swift is expected to possibly.
Speaker 1: Double that in the first weekend of her film. She's
Speaker 1: she's taken over NFL fandom. Like the thing that is
Speaker 1: notorious for being the most mainstream popular thing in the
Speaker 1: United States is the Super Bowl, right, And like she's
Speaker 1: making the NFL more popular than it's ever been by
Speaker 1: attending games and fucking one of its players.
Speaker 2: Amazing, Like that's she's in the I see your point
Speaker 2: here that she's taking she's taking the NFL to another
Speaker 2: level without even being an athlete, without being an athlete,
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying. So like I've heard the question,
Speaker 2: like is this the most famous anyone has been in
Speaker 2: our lifetime? Like he and I don't think it is.
Speaker 2: I think it's still for me. Like the the other
Speaker 2: person I heard heard mentioned was Michael Jackson. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think that.
Speaker 1: I think she might be bigger than Michael Jackson a
Speaker 1: peak in the world in the United States. I think
Speaker 1: I can almost speak to the United States. Probably not
Speaker 1: in the world no way, because you couldn't.
Speaker 2: You couldn't pull up with Taylor Swift's picture in like
Speaker 2: West Africa and have everybody no like people like there
Speaker 2: are murals of like you know, Michael Jackson in other
Speaker 2: parts of the world and states, ye like for that
Speaker 2: for that instance. But yeah, okay, like in the US
Speaker 2: right now, I think there's the the powers are absurd.
Speaker 2: I mean, like because like I've seen like people that
Speaker 2: always want to compare her and Beyonce. Beyonce came to
Speaker 2: the premiere of The Era's documentary Right at the Grove,
Speaker 2: and I mean Grant's a Taylor Swift will come to
Speaker 2: the premiere of Beyonce's concert film as well. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: does feel like like a like nation state sort of
Speaker 2: like for that kind of thing. It's like, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a setup move obviously, so they support me when I
Speaker 2: go into my campaign to make more money off of
Speaker 2: my fans.
Speaker 1: But I think, like the thing that the debate I
Speaker 1: started having in my head this morning is Jordan, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like Jordan is the person in our lifetime
Speaker 1: who the last time it was this level early nineties Jordan,
Speaker 1: because he had obviously.
Speaker 2: The you know, the thing he was known for basketball,
Speaker 2: like just taking over the world, making that thing so
Speaker 2: much more popular than it ever been before. The clothing,
Speaker 2: the shoe line, which Taylor like that, That's the thing
Speaker 2: I don't think she could do. Like he also had
Speaker 2: a hit movie in Space Space Jam. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 2: it wasn't making two hundred million in the opening. It
Speaker 2: was not. It was not like breaking records for the genre.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: But I don't think she could launch a sneaker, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think people would. Maybe they would,
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they would.
Speaker 2: She could launch a sneaker the way fifty cent or
Speaker 2: jay Z launched a sneaker, you know, like it'll come
Speaker 2: out and people want to buy the s Dot Carter
Speaker 2: or buy the Taylor Swifts. But that's not I think
Speaker 2: that's not where her biggest appeal is. Like I think
Speaker 2: she knows that she makes money by selling, like keeping
Speaker 2: selling people on like her work or the material that
Speaker 2: she's making.
Speaker 1: Like as a product. She's great at selling herself. When
Speaker 1: it comes to selling something that is not her, I
Speaker 1: think she pales in comparison to Jordan's. Like what she
Speaker 1: she had a campaign where she was like the spokesperson
Speaker 1: for New York City for a while, and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what why is Taylor Swould Just she lives here, Get
Speaker 1: the fuck out of here? Like it just like didn't
Speaker 1: make sense, like it, right, she really makes sense as
Speaker 1: like someone who is you know, selling her very specific thing.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are products she will launch that
Speaker 1: will be like will make sense as brand extensions of
Speaker 1: her in the same way that the Air Jordan sneaker
Speaker 1: makes sense as a brand extension of Michael Jordan. Right,
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I'm kind of I kind
Speaker 1: of want her to drop a sneaker to see how
Speaker 1: it do.
Speaker 2: I know that. I mean we are at that point now.
Speaker 2: It's like it just you just want to be experimental
Speaker 2: because it's like Travis Kelcey like wears an outfit next
Speaker 2: to her and then that shit sells out exactly, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like it might be to the
Speaker 2: point where like I might need to just dress up
Speaker 2: and head to toe like Zeitgeist merch and just try
Speaker 2: and run up in a paparazzi photo. Yeah, just to
Speaker 2: see what's happening. Yeah, you know what I mean. And like,
Speaker 2: but like set it up where they're like Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: helps ethnically ambiguous man after he falls down in front
Speaker 2: of her, you know, and then people were like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, she's so sweet and like that guy was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, his podcast it's kind of mid or whatever,
Speaker 2: but like it's cool, It's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It also, like I was, as I was thinking about
Speaker 1: this this morning, I was like going back through the
Speaker 1: most famous people. I went past Kanye, you know, because
Speaker 1: he had a moment where he was like all powerful,
Speaker 1: like so you know, the most famous person of music.
Speaker 1: And it made me think of that moment before Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift was like fully Taylor Swift, but like Kanye, I
Speaker 1: don't know, kind of puts that moment in a new perspective,
Speaker 1: Like it feels like his superpower of narcissism had this
Speaker 1: like uncanny sense before the rest of us that he
Speaker 1: was dealing with like a vortex of like super fame
Speaker 1: in Taylor Swift and.
Speaker 2: Was just like I have to do Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: is John Connor trying to the Taylor Swift eras record breakers?
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I don't know. There's the the fucking
Speaker 2: fame is so undeniable, like and the money being made
Speaker 2: is undeniable, and like it's wild like even like you're like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, like you for a second, because of how
Speaker 2: much attention Taylor Swift is getting, you're first sinking like
Speaker 2: is Beyonce less popular? And you're like no, because that
Speaker 2: tour is also changing local economies and fucking up transit
Speaker 2: and all kinds of other things. So this is just
Speaker 2: a very I don't know. I mean like, this is
Speaker 2: just Taylor at a very, at a peak of her powers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and the money making my god, I mean she does
Speaker 2: at this point. If she's a true capitalist, she does
Speaker 2: need to take a big swing on like a vanity
Speaker 2: project that will really test the fans. They'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's a bit too far. Yeah, I don't need to
Speaker 2: buy experimental film that with a budget of one hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars that or I was just gonna say like
Speaker 2: some kind of like new fangled technology yeah, you know
Speaker 2: where she's like, oh, you need like my brand of
Speaker 2: solar panels and power inverters for your home.
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be dope if she did, if
Speaker 1: she used it for good. But I also have it, baby,
Speaker 1: come on, I've been talking for a little bit ever
Speaker 1: since we looked at the top Halloween costumes and like,
Speaker 1: fairy is top five every year and it's the only
Speaker 1: thing in the top ten or top twenty. I think
Speaker 1: that doesn't have like a major motion picture like to
Speaker 1: its name, really like a universe of fairies, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of her aesthetic, having like seen like she has
Speaker 1: like some some of her eras take place in like
Speaker 1: a mystical like magical forest d land.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like this, hook her.
Speaker 1: Up with like James Cameron or you know, the right
Speaker 1: director and like create some sort of fairy movie and
Speaker 1: like the world might come to an end.
Speaker 2: It just might be over for all of us. Okay,
Speaker 2: she did that, right, I'm just saying, yeah, Well, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what here acting chops. I mean,
Speaker 2: she got me to, you know, buy more diet coke
Speaker 2: and kids and switch to AT and T and Direct TV.
Speaker 2: So I mean I guess I could get on the.
Speaker 1: She was in that movie Amsterdam, which is better, like
Speaker 1: more more worth watching than I expected it to be.
Speaker 1: Like there's some fun performances in that, but like it's
Speaker 1: a movie. She has like not that much time on screening.
Speaker 1: You come away being like can she act like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah data. But then I came away from her concert
Speaker 1: being like she has the most control over every square
Speaker 1: centimeter of her like just everything she's giving off. That's
Speaker 1: the same as Beyonce, That's the same as Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: They're all like known to be like there's not a
Speaker 1: detail that they're not like looking at and thinking about
Speaker 1: and what that effect is going to be like on
Speaker 1: the audience or the overall performance.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so Swift playing Taylor Swift in a fairy movie,
Speaker 2: I think we we would have lift off, folks. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying, I'm still going for solar powers, solar panels,
Speaker 2: like do something like I feel like that's like win win, right,
Speaker 2: Like she can fight climate change and get and make money,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. At the same time, mm hmmm,
Speaker 2: because I think you know, you saw how like Republicans
Speaker 2: were stressing the fact that like she she like doesn't
Speaker 2: look like she's that she would go against the Republicans
Speaker 2: or like registered kids to vote for like Democrats and ship. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but then again a lot of people are saying, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead, Republicans, see what happens when you try and
Speaker 2: enter some kind of feud with Taylor Swift. That would
Speaker 2: that would be amazing to me if like it wasn't
Speaker 2: even Trump that fully did the party and it was
Speaker 2: them going against Taylor Swift, and then I might and
Speaker 2: then I may have to concede that this is this
Speaker 2: that Taylor Swift, not labor unions are the most descendant
Speaker 2: force in politics right now. Right, Oh, bring them together,
Speaker 2: you know, put Taylor Swift on them. I mean, she's
Speaker 2: she's been apparently, you know, those bogus, he's been doing
Speaker 2: right by all the people that been working on the tour.
Speaker 2: So who knows, who knows, Maybe she's putting together a run. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 2: back and talk about some more news. We'll be right back,
Speaker 2: and we're back. We're back, and we we dug into
Speaker 2: it a little bit more on a trending yesterday. But
Speaker 2: the fright guist has been updated and can confirm Faery
Speaker 2: still in still in there, baby. Yeah, I'm just saying
Speaker 2: five says. People call my people.
Speaker 1: I have nothing to bring to the table in this
Speaker 1: other than noticing something on Google trends. So yeah, have
Speaker 1: your people call me.
Speaker 2: I wish like, as I scroll the list, I just
Speaker 2: wish one of them was just like you'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: Poison Ivy, Powerpuff Girls, Catwoman, Taco Bell, Okay, I'm here
Speaker 2: for figuring out Barty's forty eight. That seems kind of
Speaker 2: little anyway, you hear more about this later. Yep, Barbie
Speaker 2: s so you heard already about it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Oppenheimer is thirty three.
Speaker 2: All right? Uh sagaftra, sagaftra. Yeah, the strike will continue.
Speaker 2: It does feel a little bit like MPTP.
Speaker 1: Was like, all right, now we got the writers out
Speaker 1: of the way, we don't have to like actually give
Speaker 1: the actors anything, right, right, The writers will just kind
Speaker 1: of let us go back to work, and the actors
Speaker 1: will follow suit quickly because the MTPD claims that the
Speaker 1: sides are just too far apart. While sag After has
Speaker 1: said the studio's latest offer was worth less to members
Speaker 1: than what was offered in July.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many writers have pointed out they're like that
Speaker 2: was the exact same tactic they use with the writers,
Speaker 2: like jinda hardball and be like, oh yeah, how about
Speaker 2: less and they're like the fuck you, we're still on strike.
Speaker 2: And then they're like, okay, fine, uh how about this
Speaker 2: deal that was almost unanimously So I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't know if they think that maybe they're dealing with
Speaker 2: a different sort of entity here, like obviously because they're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: the writers, they really got us, but like maybe the
Speaker 2: actors we can sweat them out even more or something,
Speaker 2: because it is dragging along, and for the fact that
Speaker 2: they're like walking away from the table, that's not always
Speaker 2: the best sign that they're trying to be serious. But
Speaker 2: it's probably obviously all just a negotiating tactic to be
Speaker 2: like here's less. Oh you don't like it, then you
Speaker 2: get nothing, no dinner for you, And then they'll be
Speaker 2: like fine, then we dine on your corpse. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Part of the union statement also included detail the studios
Speaker 1: are still refusing to budge on the issue of wanting
Speaker 1: to create digital versions of actors and use them for
Speaker 1: all of eternity. They're still just like, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: scan your likeness, buddy, we own you, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to make you do whatever you want and
Speaker 1: we'll pay you.
Speaker 2: A cover fee. This is like, I mean, it's like
Speaker 2: they saw like that hologram technology and they're like, what
Speaker 2: if we just nipped that in the butt and we
Speaker 2: just got all of their shit now, and then we
Speaker 2: can you know what, y'all want to see another Jim
Speaker 2: Carrey flick? How about this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you will be played for all of
Speaker 1: eternity by somebody in a ping pung ball covered suit.
Speaker 2: Because wasn't that Like one of the pitches like people
Speaker 2: who were like evangelizing the potential of AI content was
Speaker 2: like you can literally think up a movie that you'd
Speaker 2: want to see starring whoever you wanted to be in it,
Speaker 2: and then that's for your enjoyment and like that sounds
Speaker 2: like a fucking weird nightmare. Yeah. One of the Rousseo brothers,
Speaker 2: the like people who directed the Avengers End Game were like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: like all I've ever wanted to do is like see
Speaker 2: myself in movies and so like now that's possible, and
Speaker 2: everyone's like wait, oh, sorry, that's weird. Nobody else, nobody
Speaker 2: else wants to see themselves in movies. That's just yours
Speaker 2: don't even want to watch themselves in their own movies.
Speaker 2: But if it was me, damn that would be so tight.
Speaker 2: I A oh for sure, dude, Yeah, that'd be sick. Man. Wait,
Speaker 2: hold on, are we watching a movie again? Bro? I
Speaker 2: can't watch you in a Ventura again. No, this is
Speaker 2: a new one, dude. I go to the Orient and
Speaker 2: and you're like, no, no, no, no, get me the
Speaker 2: fuck out of here. Yeah, you said the Orient. I'm like,
Speaker 2: is that wrong? Oh my god? Sorry, I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: so focused on being my own Jim care you left us,
Speaker 2: Miles because you apparently left us. The left hates Asians,
Speaker 2: so maybe that's where that's Wait?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: What the fuck? Is that true that?
Speaker 1: Elon Musk tweeted that Elon Musk tweeted that the left
Speaker 1: hates Asians?
Speaker 2: What is that due to me? I'll tell you what?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: Wow wow wow wow? Oh yeah that ships? Is that
Speaker 2: shipped up? Still? Yeah? It's still up? What is he?
Speaker 5: What that?
Speaker 2: What that means?
Speaker 3: I don't know? Man.
Speaker 2: Oh, they're talking about like affirmative actions. Okay, you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't have time. I'm just when. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 2: got away from social media. It fucking drags me right
Speaker 2: back in.
Speaker 1: No, it's yeah, but anyways, uh, Sega after pointed out,
Speaker 1: like the proposal means that actors, even background performers, will
Speaker 1: be required to be scanned in order to keep their jobs,
Speaker 1: and they could receive just one day's pay for their
Speaker 1: digital likeness, which could then be used endlessly. Doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like the fairest of deals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like bullshit. It sounds kind of like bullshit,
Speaker 2: doesn't like it obviously can't be bullshit because it's an
Speaker 2: official offer. Some real companies and corporations like that would
Speaker 2: be so weird if they or just did like total
Speaker 2: bullshit where their generosity is known across the world, across
Speaker 2: the land. But this reeks of what how you call it?
Speaker 2: How you say how you say bullshit?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Anyways, shout out to sag after it and people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know, Wga, they're still you know, they're still
Speaker 2: joining them on the picket lines because solidarity, baby, That's
Speaker 2: that's how they're gonna get They're gonna get through this one.
Speaker 2: But god, it's like Jesus, just like, can't they Like,
Speaker 2: I know this is like an oversimplification, but it's like,
Speaker 2: can't you just go to like your accounting people and
Speaker 2: be like, all right, how much money do we lose
Speaker 2: by like paying like because you know that's all that's happening.
Speaker 2: It's like they're they're like they're like shifting numbers around
Speaker 2: a spreadsheet and they're like, all right, Like so let's say,
Speaker 2: for example, we give them this, how much does that
Speaker 2: eat into our profits? Yeah? Fuck fuck, We're only gonna
Speaker 2: make forty billion dollars next year if we do this.
Speaker 2: That's profit.
Speaker 1: But it's it's profit and it's shareholder you know those Yeah,
Speaker 1: shareholder value. Yeah, shareholder value is unlimited.
Speaker 2: You can you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't get rich enough, Like there's no upper limit
Speaker 1: on how much you should be trying to get for
Speaker 1: your share shareholders and consequently yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's a cool system that benefits everyone.
Speaker 2: This is a good example of like what Douglas Rushkoff
Speaker 2: was talking about his book about like an industry having
Speaker 2: to go meta when you like, yeah, hit a wall
Speaker 2: and I and I can totally see how they see
Speaker 2: how lucrative it would be to own people's likenesses and
Speaker 2: then just iterate like digitally on that and be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, dude, that's that's the next thing for us
Speaker 2: to completely fuck it all up. Yeah, and with that
Speaker 2: idea will win out over equality.
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing that I feel like people still
Speaker 1: don't fully get is how shitty the AI generated stuff
Speaker 1: could still be with them being like willing to take
Speaker 1: a chance on it, right right, I mean this like
Speaker 1: the whole appeal of ace Ventura is like, how is
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey's performance And now it's.
Speaker 2: The rampant transphobia that you don't realize till you get
Speaker 2: much older.
Speaker 1: And now it's just me, But I look like one
Speaker 1: of those Polar Express like you know video game characters
Speaker 1: from the late nineties, like that, Wow, why would I
Speaker 1: want that?
Speaker 2: Put yourself in the Polar Express So then it feels
Speaker 2: less off putting and everyone's kind of freaky. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: could convince me that that's just what Like they just
Speaker 2: did that with Tom Hanks and they were like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, I guess we could release it, right because
Speaker 2: he is he plays like five different characters. Yeah, very strich. Anyways,
Speaker 2: hopefully I wish unto you children who are not into
Speaker 2: trains and therefore make you watch the Polar Express. I
Speaker 2: was not into trains, was not into trains. I like
Speaker 2: the only thing that I liked was like when I
Speaker 2: was in Japan was being at the very front of
Speaker 2: the train so I could watch the conductor you like,
Speaker 2: move the train around. And then I was so bummed
Speaker 2: out that it wasn't all like active, like he wasn't
Speaker 2: shoveling coal into a fucking furnace. Like he's just like
Speaker 2: a very simple dial years to control the train. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is not my steaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go, and it only goes up in speed and
Speaker 1: down in speed. You can't really even turn because it
Speaker 1: turns out because the name on the rails, this damn
Speaker 1: thing's on rails. I will say I got I got
Speaker 1: a much greater appreciation for trains, how cool they are,
Speaker 1: like you know, model trains, all that stuff, and Polar
Speaker 1: Express made it like not worth it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the only thing I liked is like
Speaker 2: not even the concept of a train, like like looking
Speaker 2: at it, like I just wanted to be inside, like
Speaker 2: I wanted to be like I like, I was more
Speaker 2: like interested in like the interior of a thing, like
Speaker 2: the inside of a plane versus like singing planes. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what are the seats? Like, what's a bathroom?
Speaker 3: Look like?
Speaker 2: What do you eat? What's the table? There's a TV?
Speaker 2: Yeah that was back when they used to have like
Speaker 2: the like two TVs and the aisles. You could just
Speaker 2: all watch on like a like a cathode ray tube
Speaker 2: TV like a CRD TV and then they would project it.
Speaker 2: Remember do you remember this, like they would just show
Speaker 2: one movie on airplanes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, back when you
Speaker 2: got like the one movie show. Yeah, I'm telling you
Speaker 2: these kids, they don't turn on the TV for us
Speaker 2: and coach. Yeah, this was not working.
Speaker 3: This was not working.
Speaker 2: Could I move more towards the front? I can't see
Speaker 2: it through all the cigarette smoke? Or did I remember
Speaker 2: you used to I used to find butts like in
Speaker 2: the ashtray in the arm rest. Well yeah, they they
Speaker 2: made it non smoking, but they just kept ash trays everywhere. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But look we're saying non smoking, but like you getna
Speaker 1: smoke probably right in my.
Speaker 2: Mind, like as a kid to like because there's always
Speaker 2: in the armrest and you know your kid, you fidge
Speaker 2: with stuff you pull that little cigarette ashtray thing over
Speaker 2: like there's an actual butt in here, and like, okay, whatever, Yeah,

Speaker 2: What's that music playing at the airport? Yeah? It got
Speaker 2: a little funky there for a second, a little sultry.
Speaker 5: I'm currently in an airport convenience store. I've uploaded a
Speaker 5: couple of photos I will send as well. But as
Speaker 5: people travel and get ready for the holiday season, let's
Speaker 5: take a look at what is their options in the
Speaker 5: airport convenience store.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what is their options.
Speaker 5: Current books tend to be. It ends with Us by
Speaker 5: Colleen Hoover. It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover. All
Speaker 5: Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover November nine. Wait maybe Someday
Speaker 5: by Colleen Hoover. I've met Bones by Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 2: Heart Bones. Oh no, I don't like that. You know,
Speaker 2: bones and weird we bones in weird places is like
Speaker 2: my my ick Oh like this fucking freaks me anyway, Okay,
Speaker 2: heart bones is terrible? Is that bones? Is that supposed
Speaker 2: to be a sexual?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Uh, even then love boner? Or like your heart or
Speaker 2: is your heart capable of boning? Yeah, like your heart
Speaker 2: jump out of your body to have sex with another heart?
Speaker 2: The heart urines and the heart bones? Who is Colleen?
Speaker 2: I mean, like I know, she's just like one of
Speaker 2: these airport type prolific authors. Is that the deal? I
Speaker 2: guess so yeah, zich gang.
Speaker 1: If you are familiar with Colleen Hoover and the novel,
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty novel heart Bones, is the title a
Speaker 1: noun or a verb. Are these bones that are in
Speaker 1: the heart or are they saying the heart bones, this
Speaker 1: heart bones, this heart fucks your heart love it may
Speaker 1: even lust my heart.
Speaker 2: This heart bucks heart fuck Party by Colleen Hoover. You're
Speaker 2: gonna love it.
Speaker 5: Let's also not forget these other popular titles that are
Speaker 5: being sold Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. Slam Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 5: But we do have Without Merit, which was written by
Speaker 5: Colleen Hoover. Options to choose our books like Confess written by.
Speaker 2: Who's this this campaign?
Speaker 5: Let's Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 2: Every time I'm surprised.
Speaker 5: Be left of Reminders of Him, which was a great
Speaker 5: book written by Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 3: Come on, it's also too.
Speaker 5: Late, Never, Never, and Regarding You, which I think is
Speaker 5: a trilogy, and those happen to be written by the
Speaker 5: author Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 2: What in.
Speaker 1: That's actually a three part novella series with Taren Fisher.
Speaker 1: I am now on the Colleen Hoover Wikipedia page, and
Speaker 1: Colleen Hoover is prolific.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean I get that. Like it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, like I remember I think, you know, for
Speaker 2: people of a certain age, it is like when Danielle
Speaker 2: Steele novels were like like everywhere, like there weren't even
Speaker 2: magazines the grocery stores like Daniel Steele novels, and then
Speaker 2: like the front of every bookstore was Daniel Steele? Is
Speaker 2: this the new Danielle Steele?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like it might be Wow young too,
Speaker 1: a young writer for to have that three bibliography and
Speaker 1: be just forty three years old. It does feel like
Speaker 1: the thing like James Patterson did this too, where you
Speaker 1: have a series of best selling novels and then create
Speaker 1: like a company that basically writes books that are in
Speaker 1: the same genre as your books, and like you just
Speaker 1: kind of oversee, maybe maybe that's what's happening. I don't
Speaker 1: want to disparage you know, the work of Colleen Hoover,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think Tom Clancy was similar. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it makes sense, like just in a purely from
Speaker 1: a purely capitalist standpoint, It's like, this is a name,
Speaker 1: this is a brand that people associate with this kind
Speaker 1: of book. Let's get a bunch of people and pay
Speaker 1: them like shit to write those books and put smack
Speaker 1: that name on there.
Speaker 2: Oh and I'm like reading a thing that like that,
Speaker 2: Like she's equally praised and criticized, where some people say,
Speaker 2: like her book it ends with us is like romanticizing abuse,
Speaker 2: and others they call themselves their coho or is what
Speaker 2: they call or what the fans call it. I'm just
Speaker 2: learning way too much. Okay, so good, interesting? Interesting. I
Speaker 2: mean I usually when you write that many books, I
Speaker 2: have a feeling you. Maybe not you don't have like
Speaker 2: the deepest worldview, but hey, you're selling, you're selling. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's move on.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure how Colleen Hoover cornered the market on
Speaker 5: book options, but she is crushing it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 5: Now you can also get a butterfinger put you back
Speaker 5: three ninety nine, or a crunch bar. They still sell
Speaker 5: those also, thine.
Speaker 2: Oh, I was hoping for Colleen Hoover.
Speaker 5: I love keychains. People who get to the airport and
Speaker 5: decide I don't need my keys for two weeks, but
Speaker 5: I want a brand new chain for them. There's a
Speaker 5: plenty of nuts for seven ninety nine. Oh good, that
Speaker 5: was a question I had actually over there plenty Another
Speaker 5: beautiful day here at the airport, and it's a perfect
Speaker 5: day if you're a Colleen Hoover fan.
