Speaker 2: the talented mangsh.
Speaker 4: I feel like I can't live up to any of that.
Speaker 2: Sweet. That's just what. Yeah, that's a very Kermit. That's
Speaker 2: a Kermit ass response. Oh yeah, you did you grow
Speaker 2: up on Kermit?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And everyone told me I was Kermit and I
Speaker 4: hated it for such a lot, like he's just like
Speaker 4: a nice guy. But then I realized, like, I like
Speaker 4: making productions and I live in total chaos as they're happening.
Speaker 2: Very Kermit, Like, Yeah, I've seen you type before where
Speaker 2: your arms are just flat like this, And.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm a little worried about his carporal
Speaker 1: tunnel if that's how he's typing.
Speaker 2: But his arms go wild when he's just when his
Speaker 2: arms up and all over the place. Loves a road trip.
Speaker 1: Loves a road trip. I gotta love a road trip.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Well, it's great to have you back. We're
Speaker 2: going to get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 2: at a moment. First, a couple of things that we're
Speaker 2: talking about. We're gonna take a quick look at the
Speaker 2: dynamic that's going to get us all killed. Yes, we're
Speaker 2: gonna look at this. Like meeting that happened with Trump
Speaker 2: and some of his advisors to celebrate his one hundred
Speaker 2: days of accomplishments of Winds and just like the yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's very dear leader vibes. As you put Miles
Speaker 2: in this, it's very much like I mean.
Speaker 1: You see it all the time, but you're you're you
Speaker 1: will get mother goose bumps. Okay, listening to this, it's creepy.
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna look at one of the great genres
Speaker 2: of American film, the presidential action movie, because they're back.
Speaker 2: They've got one just dropped called G twenty where Viola
Speaker 2: Davis is the US President and it's just die hard
Speaker 2: at the G twenty. And then there's also another one
Speaker 2: where John Cena plays a Republican president and it looks
Speaker 2: like shit looks terrible, which it turns out a lot
Speaker 2: a lot of these presidential action movies where US president's
Speaker 2: kick ass in retrospect might have been like weird propaganda.
Speaker 2: I guess I had never a writer. Jam was like,
Speaker 2: think about if you saw a movie from Russia where
Speaker 2: like Vladimir Putin was just beating the shit up, it
Speaker 2: would look so silly, Toss. It would just be like,
Speaker 2: this is the silliest propaganda. And yet I just went
Speaker 2: to the movies and was like, Harrison Ford is cool. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: I didn't think twice about it.
Speaker 1: Did you see that take where people are trying to
Speaker 1: say that Indiana Jones was like free from any kind
Speaker 1: of political commentary. Oh, real conservatives, You're like, no, they're
Speaker 1: they're trying to project too much meaning under this. You're like,
Speaker 1: first of all, Harrison Ford is Jewish and he's punching
Speaker 1: out a bunch of Nazis in his movies.
Speaker 2: But oh, they're trying to be like it wasn't taking
Speaker 2: a stance on Nazis exactly exactly. Oh wow, it's like
Speaker 2: it wor all right. Yeah, so I'm just saying people
Speaker 2: are people are given. Hey, give art your own meaning. Day.
Speaker 2: One of the great observations about the original raders of
Speaker 2: the Lost Ark is that if Indiana Jones had not
Speaker 2: been there, everything would have happened almost exactly the same,
Speaker 2: Like they would have gotten the arc, they would have
Speaker 2: opened it, they would have all melted themselves. So in
Speaker 2: many ways, he was actually trying to help the Nazis.
Speaker 2: It was actually throw Nazi probably Ganda. I wish you
Speaker 2: would back shit. Yeah. Anyways, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 2: But first man, guests, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 2: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 2: who you are.
Speaker 4: So I am working on a show called How to
Speaker 4: Live Forever right now, which is you know, I'm just
Speaker 4: so enamored with, like how how these billionaires are spending
Speaker 4: all their lives like trying believing that they're gonna live
Speaker 4: to one hundred and sixty and and but they're also
Speaker 4: like crazy things like cats that like, you know, I
Speaker 4: think Rick Perry's cousin is helping them live to their thirties.
Speaker 2: They're like cats live to their thirties.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with like tiny thimbles of wine, and like there's
Speaker 4: a whole exercise course for them.
Speaker 2: Wait, is the wine thing real, because like I always
Speaker 2: assumed that was just wishful thinking. Is it real?
Speaker 4: Well for cats it is, I don't know about us
Speaker 4: with a little bit of wine. Well wow, okay, I
Speaker 4: mean it takes the edge off, I guess. But you know,
Speaker 4: there are all these like things and and they're you know,
Speaker 4: miracles of science right now, Like they're these dancing molecules
Speaker 4: that in a lab in Northwestern they have severed mice's
Speaker 4: spines to make them paraplegic and then give them this
Speaker 4: injection and within a month they're like walking normally again,
Speaker 4: and like like the advances in science are unbelievable. But
Speaker 4: also there's all this like snake oil and like what
Speaker 4: happens when like billionaires stop like giving their money to
Speaker 4: society and taking like billionaire's pledge and just like conserving
Speaker 4: it for you know, when they're living to two hundred
Speaker 4: or whatever. But in all this research I stumbled into
Speaker 4: like this rabbit hole on the enhanced Games. Have been
Speaker 4: paying attention to this, like it's basically an all drug Olympics, and.
Speaker 2: They're doing it.
Speaker 4: I know that it was a one in it, but
Speaker 4: it is that it's supposed to happen next year, and
Speaker 4: and there's all this craziness of like trying to figure
Speaker 4: out where is it going to be because they're like,
Speaker 4: you know, you can, I think, dope up as much
Speaker 4: as you want.
Speaker 2: For these Olympics.
Speaker 4: They're getting people who are like retired Olympians and like
Speaker 4: people who've sort of like failed out of the you know,
Speaker 4: they were like a fifth place, like swimmer or whatever,
Speaker 4: and they're getting righted up and and other drugs obviously,
Speaker 4: and and uh, and then they're getting these huge cash
Speaker 4: prizes to like beat the like Michael Phelps record or
Speaker 4: like you know, and and uh, it's just the whole
Speaker 4: world is fascinating to me, like the fact that, like,
Speaker 4: you know, the Olympics themselves are are pretty corrupt. It's
Speaker 4: not like you know, they're there are things where like
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2: And uh car Johnson Man Johnson, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean they took the same drugs, right, like and and
Speaker 4: one of them is like a hero and the others
Speaker 4: like you know this pariah and and like Carl.
Speaker 2: Lewis took those drugs too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, come on, Barcelona Olympics.
Speaker 2: So that's been like documented since.
Speaker 4: No but but but but there's a documentary about it,
Speaker 4: a lot of steroids that that talks about it.
Speaker 2: And Johnson just like didn't hide it as well, because
Speaker 2: he definitely looked more on steroids than anyone I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Well, I think also, I think the countries are better
Speaker 4: at hiding it than other countries, right, Like certain doctors
Speaker 4: are better at hiding it, and so like you know,
Speaker 4: whether it's like Russia or China are various places. Eastern Germany,
Speaker 4: right was very very good at hiding it and not
Speaker 4: hiding it. But anyway, like the fact that like you one,
Speaker 4: like the countries are trying to bid on whether they
Speaker 4: can like sportswash through like an all drug Olympics is
Speaker 4: like kind of stunning to me. And and and also
Speaker 4: just uh, the people are invested in this because they
Speaker 4: feel like people like Peter Thiel are invested in because
Speaker 4: they hope that all these longevity drugs will come out
Speaker 4: of an Olympics. And it's hard to tell, you know,
Speaker 4: it's going to be like a fire festival of sport
Speaker 4: or is it going to be like something that makes
Speaker 4: money and becomes like you know, regularly washed on TV?
Speaker 2: Or are having it? Where's it located? Have an announced
Speaker 2: yip international waters right, yeah it?
Speaker 1: Or we're going to see it like the first televised
Speaker 1: like race where people are having like a heart attack
Speaker 1: during the butterfly stroke of a swim competition and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, using air while you can literally see his
Speaker 2: heart pumping out of his chest. I feel like it
Speaker 2: either needs to be Vegas or Detroit in honor of RoboCop,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure right like or like or to just
Speaker 2: be like Saudi Arabia. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and and it just like plays it to this whole
Speaker 2: like weird. There's a GQ article about like everyone you
Speaker 2: know is on steroids, you know, and it feels like
Speaker 2: I know this. No, not Jack, I told you I'm not. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I had to ask my mom twice. She's everyone I
Speaker 4: know that she lifted the couch with one head. It
Speaker 4: was crazy, but.
Speaker 2: Got terrible back acne too, I noticed. Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 4: I mean this whole world of like biohacking and human augmentation,
Speaker 4: where like people showed up two feet taller or like
Speaker 4: six inches taller after the pandemic because they'd had those
Speaker 4: like leg you know, Like like this whole world is
Speaker 4: so bizarre and it's fascinating to see what'll stick.
Speaker 2: I have some suspicions that there was one time where, like,
Speaker 2: so I ran into someone I hadn't seen it in
Speaker 2: a while, and they were definitely taller than they used
Speaker 2: to be, and I just like wouldn't because I hadn't
Speaker 2: really thought of that as being a real thing. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't let it rest. I'd be like, are you so damn?
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's like you had a goddamn Rooseburg in
Speaker 2: your thirties and they yeah, man, just like stop, just
Speaker 2: like no, I've always been this tall. I don't know
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Oh, bro, yeah, I had my
Speaker 2: bones extended. You're like extension, Yeah, exactly. And you were
Speaker 2: saying before we record, Brian Johnson is hosting that show
Speaker 2: with you. That's your co host, the guy his son's boners.
Speaker 2: So that's cool. No, that's that's Uh, that's that is
Speaker 2: super interesting. I can't wait to have them have these games.
Speaker 2: And they can't even get close to the real Olympian
Speaker 2: records because they were all on steroids too. You know,
Speaker 2: we'll see. What's something man Gesh. Do you think is underrated? Uh?
Speaker 4: I mean this is this sounds obvious or something, but
Speaker 4: but like or maybe like it's not a good argument,
Speaker 4: but but I feel like New York City is underrated
Speaker 4: or do you say overrated?
Speaker 2: Underrated? Underrated? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think I think New York City is underrated and
Speaker 4: and I think like it's been under so much attack
Speaker 4: from people, like like politicians talking about like the crime
Speaker 4: or like you know, our mayor being ridiculous or like uh,
Speaker 4: the you know, the the congestion pricing or whatever. But like,
Speaker 4: I think what's amazing to me is that like when
Speaker 4: I wander around New York. I just see so many
Speaker 4: examples of community and and like that to me is
Speaker 4: like really hopeful in this moment of being sort of
Speaker 4: terrified by headlines and and and so like like my
Speaker 4: my son is part of an Afro Cuban jazz band,
Speaker 4: like all Cuban jazz band, and it's like dope and
Speaker 4: they all hang out and eat Dominican chicken and like
Speaker 4: you know, and and like.
Speaker 2: It's just like joyous.
Speaker 4: Or like you walk past like community gardens and and
Speaker 4: like on my street and two different like two different blocks,
Speaker 4: they're like people playing dominoes, and it's just like I
Speaker 4: feel like there's so many different ways I'm part of
Speaker 4: a co op and and and you know, like just
Speaker 4: the fact that like I'm doing a cheese shift and
Speaker 4: I'm hanging out with people who like our school teachers
Speaker 4: or or owned restaurants or like you know, are are
Speaker 4: aspiring actors or whatever. It's just like joyous. And I
Speaker 4: feel like this reminder constantly that you're part of the community,
Speaker 4: whether it's like you know, taking us away or or
Speaker 4: or like uh, you know, walking to the bodega and
Speaker 4: knowing my neighbors.
Speaker 2: Like I'm just really inspired by it. You can't avoid
Speaker 2: people as easily in New York. No, that's my main
Speaker 2: complaint with it. They're everywhere. It's what is a cheese shift?
Speaker 2: Did you say cheese shift? Yeah? Yeah, so that's you're
Speaker 2: you're taking a shift at the co Op's kind of
Speaker 2: work in the working as a cheesemonger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I basically working as a cheesemonger. Or
Speaker 4: you're like like cutting like with the cheese slicer all
Speaker 4: these like uh various like exotic cheese has to with
Speaker 4: your kermit ass arms.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's super fast, yeahed my output.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't I mean like there's a there's
Speaker 4: a shift where you just go take coffee to and
Speaker 4: hand out coffee on the streets to like U to
Speaker 4: the unhoused people around us, and and like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I love the co Op.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I agree. Eric Adams is getting way
Speaker 1: too much negative press.
Speaker 2: Podcast. Yeah, so he's a little quirky, but this is
Speaker 2: the greatest city in America. You could have a nine
Speaker 2: to eleven or meet a neighbor at a cheese ship,
Speaker 2: but the co Op.
Speaker 1: I feel that every time I go to New York.
Speaker 1: I love walking and just hearing every just kind of
Speaker 1: New Yorker there is like having an argument or like
Speaker 1: helping somebody.
Speaker 7: Yeah exactly, God yeah you.
Speaker 2: Dead as yeah exactly. But like that is truly like
Speaker 2: in la we're just so siloed in our cars and
Speaker 2: you have to be in a specific place with a gift,
Speaker 2: like with your community or depending on what neighborhood you
Speaker 2: live in, too. But yeah, there is yeah underrated, Yeah yeah, great,
Speaker 2: hell yeah. I mean everything like gets in the gets
Speaker 2: in the news for like bad stuff. Sure, Like we
Speaker 2: don't just like have a story about, hey, here's a
Speaker 2: cool thing that happened in New York because like a
Speaker 2: bunch of people cared about the people. Right. Wait, you
Speaker 2: you throw congestion pricing in as a bad in with
Speaker 2: the like bad press. We're big fans of the idea
Speaker 2: here of congestion pricing. What uh where are we at
Speaker 2: with congestion pricing? Has it worked? What's the latest there?
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's great. I mean, like
Speaker 4: it forces the traffic out of the city and like
Speaker 4: you know, people and they're all sorts of like you know,
Speaker 4: if you're special needs for like handicapped drivers or road whatever,
Speaker 4: like that that's all sort of figured out. So it's
Speaker 4: it's it's mostly like really rich people who were complaining
Speaker 4: about like driving within the city from like the upper
Speaker 4: ear you know, yeah, the upper part of the city
Speaker 4: in the middle part of the city area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it became like a right wing talking point to
Speaker 1: be yeah, encroaching on and it's like okay, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: but we I mean, like.
Speaker 4: I went on a family vacation like last year to
Speaker 4: uh to Florida and or two years ago, and and
Speaker 4: it was like people were just saying, like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: like New York's the worst, how could you live there?
Speaker 4: It's so unsafe, like you know, uh and and it.
Speaker 2: Was like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I met on Friday. We had a roller skating party
Speaker 4: for my kid at like the park and it was
Speaker 4: just like ah, and it was eight o'clock and it
Speaker 4: was like eight thirty. It was like filled with all
Speaker 4: these people playing basketball on table tennis and people have
Speaker 4: different ages. There's just like people walking along the piers.
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't know, it's not that bad.
Speaker 2: Oh, it is a great sit man. It's back to
Speaker 2: New York's and you do like cool stuff. I remember
Speaker 2: just like talking to you and you were like, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to this like art party that
Speaker 2: we do every Tuesday with my kids where we like
Speaker 2: just come up when I'm just like, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: Like, I guess, look at the way he walks. They
Speaker 1: even walk cooler in New York.
Speaker 4: I mean there, that is an amazing thing?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 4: Like, like my kids both go to public school, but
Speaker 4: there's like an amazing amount of hubris that comes from
Speaker 4: like being in.
Speaker 2: New York City.
Speaker 4: Right, Like like my my son walked up to Hemes
Speaker 4: from Dastrasas to at a party and he was like
Speaker 4: trying to sell him beats and I was like, Henry,
Speaker 4: do you make beats? It's like, I don't know, he
Speaker 4: hasn't rapped in a long time. I feel like I
Speaker 4: could make something for him.
Speaker 2: Wow. I feel like I get him back out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's great. Hey, if you can make it there, I've
Speaker 2: heard it's pretty good. You can make it there. It's
Speaker 2: pretty good. As they're saying, goes man, guess what's something
Speaker 2: you think is overrated? I think mean pranks are overrated.
Speaker 2: I feel like like the Shire Sanders thing like, and
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like there's like a whole
Speaker 2: class of people that don't understand like that pranks can
Speaker 2: just be like sweet or funny or like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: there's something about pranks that really bother me, and like
Speaker 2: and the way that people are not figuring out what
Speaker 2: funny is. Like I almost feel like we need like
Speaker 2: a prank hotline for kids to call up to like
Speaker 2: figure out like whether their prank is is is biable
Speaker 2: or not. That's just mean, yeah, I mean yeah, but
Speaker 2: like like I because I read about that at the
Speaker 2: same time I was like traveling, so I didn't read
Speaker 2: about the like I guess when the Martin short was
Speaker 2: on stage for the Saturn Night Live thing and and
Speaker 2: he thanked everyone at the end for the credits, and
Speaker 2: then Fred Armison came up to him and he was like,
Speaker 2: did you mean to call Paul McCartney Tony McCartney and
Speaker 2: like and then for like two days, like you thought
Speaker 2: it's like just a simple prank and that's like really
Speaker 2: funny versus like I was looking online, they're like kids
Speaker 2: who've like spilled boiling water on their friend because they
Speaker 2: thought hot water and kids in the hospital, it's like
Speaker 2: that's not a prank. It's like, you know, I feel like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it would be useful. So yeah, making Martin Short feel
Speaker 2: a little bit insecure for two days is uh funny.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like making somebody who is at like their
Speaker 2: all time professional low as they like keep sliding through
Speaker 2: the draft think they're about to get picked and then
Speaker 2: like have that not happen isn't funny and like it's
Speaker 2: like conceivable scenario. It's like tragedy. Like I yeah, I
Speaker 2: can't really figure out where they were coming from other
Speaker 2: than yeah, I mean there's just like cruelty as fun
Speaker 2: as comedy.
Speaker 1: Which right exactly, it's an extension of that. And like
Speaker 1: the attention that kid was getting was merely because it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: dude's what's We've just totally fucked with Shador Sanders and
Speaker 1: that was enough to get you know, his little bit
Speaker 1: of clout online.
Speaker 4: I think I think that's part of it, is like
Speaker 4: the Times have created this like swing back to like
Speaker 4: cruelty and comedy, and often like hack comics get to
Speaker 4: like say it's like infringing on free speech when it's
Speaker 4: just really bad comedy, you know, like and and so
Speaker 4: like I think there's something in there with a it's
Speaker 4: not fully formed, but something with like the mean pranks
Speaker 4: falls into that, and I like the next generation to
Speaker 4: be funnier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be cool if they were funny. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just like before it was like punching, punching up
Speaker 2: and then and we would tell people not to punch down,
Speaker 2: and now just like punching is funny and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: just like punching, uh little jig, sharing a punch, anything
Speaker 2: that makes somebody feel a little bit worse. All right,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 2: and we're back us us Yeah, who us me? Yeh.
Speaker 2: By the way, there there is a piece of information
Speaker 2: from obviously mangsh like, you know, just a font of
Speaker 2: fascinating information that like I'm pretending like I've gotten over
Speaker 2: and like I've continued on with the conversation, but I have,
Speaker 2: in fact not been able to think about anything else
Speaker 2: that Like cats drink wine like good good for them.
Speaker 2: It fits so well with cats. Yeah, these like sophisticated
Speaker 2: little fuckers hanging around like French salons and drinking like
Speaker 2: some red wine and their little signal chats talking about
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Anyways, I just
Speaker 2: want to acknowledge because I'm assuming everybody who's listening it's like, wait,
Speaker 2: what did cats drink fucking wine? I mean, do you
Speaker 2: give it to them? They do and they'll live to
Speaker 2: thirty that it sounds like the most TikTok ass ship
Speaker 2: though too where someone' was like, dude, I gave my
Speaker 2: cat wine and it's living till thirty now. And how
Speaker 2: much wine, like a like a whole like a jeroboam
Speaker 2: a night. That's that's the big ass bottle. But anyway, yes, cigarettes, Yeah,
Speaker 2: two Street bottle red wine. But shout on Nikroll. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about the people who are gonna get us killed.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get us killed.
Speaker 1: Look, we talked on yesterday's show about how Trump's advisors
Speaker 1: and cabinet officials are just constantly lying to him, and
Speaker 1: it's becoming more and more apparent from the way Trump
Speaker 1: talks about things where he's like, well, my people told
Speaker 1: me that's fine, and it's actually legal, and actually the
Speaker 1: thing that wasn't an l was actually that was a win.
Speaker 1: All that to say is all they do is reaffirm
Speaker 1: his beliefs that he is not bad at his job
Speaker 1: or that people don't hate him, and I think seeing
Speaker 1: this little bit of a get together that happened for
Speaker 1: his one hundred days really underlines that. But first I
Speaker 1: really want to talk about this one clip we saw
Speaker 1: on the last day. He had an interview with ABC
Speaker 1: where he really let his old man that believes Facebook
Speaker 1: shit posts flag fly and he was asked about Kilmar
Speaker 1: Abrego Garcia and how the man that is innocent and
Speaker 1: is no way part of MS thirteen ended up in
Speaker 1: a Salvadoran prison. Trump insists that he is bad because
Speaker 1: he has MS thirteen tattooed on his hands, which is
Speaker 1: a reference to a shitty photo that is clearly not
Speaker 1: showing an actual MS thirteen tattoo, Like if it's like
Speaker 1: his hand where he has like a weed leaf my
Speaker 1: lee face across in a skull and above someone just
Speaker 1: like in MS.
Speaker 2: Paint was like MS one three. That's what all these
Speaker 2: things mean. And I think Trump basically believes that that
Speaker 2: image is real that that over I don't anyway here
Speaker 2: he is arguing with Terry Moran from ABC about it,
Speaker 2: and this is just a fucking wild back and forth
Speaker 2: because this is another one of those instances where you're
Speaker 2: seeing a journalist push back against Trump and absolutely not budging.
Speaker 2: And it just gets to the point where he's like,
Speaker 2: what's going on? What are you? What are you doing here?
Speaker 2: You're being not nice.
Speaker 1: Here's Trump and Terry Moran.
Speaker 3: It wasn't a member of a gang. And then they
Speaker 3: looked and on his knuckles he had MS thir there's
Speaker 3: wait a minute, Wait a minute, he had MS thirteen.
Speaker 8: He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
Speaker 2: But let's move on.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
Speaker 2: I will tear it Terry.
Speaker 8: He did not have the letter MS one.
Speaker 2: It says MS one three. That was photoshop. So let
Speaker 2: me get photos.
Speaker 3: Terry that Hey, they're giving you the big break of
Speaker 3: a lifetime.
Speaker 2: You know you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly.
Speaker 6: I never heard of you.
Speaker 3: But that's okay you Terry, but you're not being very nice.
Speaker 3: He had MS thirteen.
Speaker 2: Tattoo, will agree to disagree.
Speaker 3: I want to rive on to something Elsearry, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: do you over show you the picture?
Speaker 8: I saw the picture. Well, yes, he didn't have tattoos
Speaker 8: that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert
Speaker 8: on them. I want to turn to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: I want to get to you.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he had m s as clear as
Speaker 3: you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no
Speaker 3: longer believe well the news because.
Speaker 9: When photograph and honey, this goes on, Why did he
Speaker 9: not just let him show him the fucking picture so
Speaker 9: he could say, yo, that is He's like that that
Speaker 9: part is new Roman.
Speaker 2: It is typed on the picture.
Speaker 9: That's Mariel New Yes, sir, it is.
Speaker 2: It wasn't Sarah Times new Roman. Okay, I did not
Speaker 2: really because yeah, people were like no, I mean he
Speaker 2: knows that it's just that that was written on there.
Speaker 2: He wasn't claiming that that was the actual thing. And
Speaker 2: then he he's just like you, no, no, let me
Speaker 2: get this exactly where day. Let me get this as
Speaker 2: clear as I can that I'm wrong about this. Terry, Terry, honey.
Speaker 2: He sounds like, you're right. You remember the Linda Honey, baby,
Speaker 2: Linda look it, yeah, Linda, Linda, look at honey. That's
Speaker 2: kind of what he reminds me of.
Speaker 1: And you know, again, I thought, because there's a photo
Speaker 1: of him when he first had this photo in the
Speaker 1: Oval office to justify why kill mar Brego Garcia has
Speaker 1: disappeared like that he was holding this up, and he
Speaker 1: posts that photo regularly to try and justify this illegal
Speaker 1: trafficking of people, and I again like you, I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like he's just trying to have it both ways,
Speaker 1: but clearly in this interaction he believes that what that
Speaker 1: photo is is the genuine depiction of what his tattoos
Speaker 1: actually are.
Speaker 2: And again, Trump believes this because all of the people
Speaker 2: enacting his illegal orders have to convince Grandpa that everything
Speaker 2: they do has some kind of real life justification even
Speaker 2: if it doesn't. And all of like this sucking up
Speaker 2: and lying to his face to keep him from becoming
Speaker 2: like a seen ale toddler, well again made painfully clear
Speaker 2: when his cabinet gathered to pat him on the back
Speaker 2: for the worst first one hundred days of any presidency
Speaker 2: in the history of Earth. But oh my god, I
Speaker 2: can't like and then him being like, you're being very
Speaker 2: you're not being very nice. That being just so I
Speaker 2: mean that you just get such a clear picture of
Speaker 2: like how this whole thing works. He's just trying to
Speaker 2: ram through something that is in his mind that is
Speaker 2: just made up by being like, you're not being very nice.
Speaker 2: I picked you. I'm like giving you the chance of
Speaker 2: a lifetime, like you know, a sexual harassing boss.
Speaker 4: And totally he also sounds so old right, like he's
Speaker 4: like slurring. Speech feels off. It feels like like he's
Speaker 4: making this argument, and he sounds so tired and like
Speaker 4: he counts. It's just sprised.
Speaker 2: Terry, Terry commit, Terry, look at this picture. Man, don't lie.
Speaker 10: MS thirteen clears day, Come give me the MS thirteen picture.
Speaker 10: Terry the kids and wins with computers. I tell him
Speaker 10: turn off the computer. I look over the computers up
Speaker 10: and I say, hey, you do that?
Speaker 2: You mean, man, I did you hear that?
Speaker 11: I look at you, Brego Garcia and I look at
Speaker 11: his MS thirteen tattoos and I go.
Speaker 2: I look at him. I see that they look like
Speaker 2: they're printed in a like three inches above his hands
Speaker 2: somehow and terrible.
Speaker 11: If I was his tattoo artist, I'd say, why is
Speaker 11: it placed like you did it? Yeah, it's just fucking
Speaker 11: just so painful like that we have the senile autocrat
Speaker 11: just like isn't even It's like it's I don't even why.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why aren't you better at this? You? You
Speaker 2: suck it? Even being an autocrat. This is so fucking
Speaker 2: not that even I want the better.
Speaker 1: Like that's where I'm I'm like even I'm like, y'all,
Speaker 1: you're playing in our fucking faces with how bad and
Speaker 1: senile you are.
Speaker 2: This is just so offensive. We're already in the like
Speaker 2: Death of Stalin phase of this autocracy where it's just
Speaker 2: like this guy is just like it behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: He's just like making these people do like pig on
Speaker 2: the floor or whatever the fuck that oh yeah, right
Speaker 2: on the floor ship, Like you know, he's just back
Speaker 2: there just making people humiliate themselves. It's also we wonder
Speaker 2: where a cool sense of humor comes from. Yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 1: Like that mixed with like that scene that everyone memes
Speaker 1: from the movie Downfall where all of like the furres
Speaker 1: and roles are telling him how.
Speaker 2: I was thinking of that seat every day for the
Speaker 2: past three years. That's like, truly what this cabinet is like.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, fuck, this guy's on meth and we
Speaker 2: got to keep him from having a fit. And again,
Speaker 2: so this first hundred days cabinet gathering just a total
Speaker 2: shit show. Again, straight up, dear leader nonsense here. Attorney
Speaker 2: General Pam Bondy really kicks it off with a heartfelt
Speaker 2: thank you, mister President, and really just sets the tone
Speaker 2: for every other cabinet official after this. So here's Terry
Speaker 2: BONDI really again just saying God, President Trump, thank you.
Speaker 12: Okay, President, your first one hundred days has far exceeded
Speaker 12: that of any other presidency in this country ever, ever,
Speaker 12: never seen anything like it. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yo. By the way, we talked on yesterday's trending about
Speaker 2: AI that like knows how to talk to you by
Speaker 2: mimicking how you speak. She's like, she sounds like she
Speaker 2: is like reading from a ever speak never ever, ever
Speaker 2: in the history of the whole country, mister President.
Speaker 1: It's just like ye, mister President. I mean, the way
Speaker 1: you've turned this country around. I'm just flabbergasted. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: myself bad.
Speaker 2: You did it, you know.
Speaker 5: And so she goes on then to say that Trump
Speaker 5: saved two hundred and fifty eight million lives again.
Speaker 2: Wait, yes, just listen, she goes you hear this media dune.
Speaker 1: Just just follow the logic, Jack, follow the logic, baby,
Speaker 1: Pam BONDI take it away.
Speaker 12: Thirty four hundred kilos a fentanyl since you've been your
Speaker 12: last hundred days, which say are you ready for this?
Speaker 12: You have two hundred and fifty eight million lives. Kids
Speaker 12: are dying every day because they're taking this junk laced
Speaker 12: with something else. They don't know what they're taking. They
Speaker 12: think they're buying a tile in all or an out
Speaker 12: or and ax and.
Speaker 3: X.
Speaker 2: I got I got a fucking splitting headache. Man, you
Speaker 2: got any tile and all? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got that Fen tie all bro if you mean that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Fenn tile and all. Wait, two hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: people would be like three quarters of population.
Speaker 2: We're three hundred million? Are we three? Three fifty? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Or whatever? That's so again, like vegans is point about
Speaker 2: everyone knows on steroids. It's like everyone you know was
Speaker 2: taking fentanyl. We were all going to be dead right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it weren't for this man in front of you.
Speaker 1: So again, this set the theme that I want to
Speaker 1: play e p A Administrator Lee Zelden. Now, like now
Speaker 1: the tone has been set. This is full on succession
Speaker 1: ship now and everybody like they get called on to
Speaker 1: give an update. Everyone starts off with some kind of
Speaker 1: absolute solo on.
Speaker 2: Today is a special day for many reasons. The biggest
Speaker 2: reason why we're here is that this is the one
Speaker 2: hundredth day of the most consequential, historic first one hundred days.
Speaker 2: Look at his energy country the first hundred days, mister president,
Speaker 2: she already said that, get on with it. Okay, we
Speaker 2: already got that ship moved along. Lee Yo, Lie's like
Speaker 2: there they all seem like they're turning into the same person.
Speaker 2: Like Lee's album looks exactly like Sean Spicer like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, like it's just like there's there's a certain
Speaker 2: person that they're all turning into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris right, it was his opportunity to to take
Speaker 1: the stage and and tell Trump again how great he
Speaker 1: is really bringing that energy.
Speaker 13: Christer President, you ran on American energy, and one hundred
Speaker 13: days have shown the tremendous impacts that can arise from
Speaker 13: the unleashing you have enabled that.
Speaker 2: Highlights you have been.
Speaker 13: Oil, gasoline diesel prices are the lowest they've been in years.
Speaker 1: Also, there's a headline today about how his policies are
Speaker 1: actually causing a lot of uncertainty for fossil fuels right
Speaker 1: now that they're even like uh fuck, what are we
Speaker 1: supposed to do? So yeah, there there are endless clips.
Speaker 1: Jd Vance had a moment, Doug Bergham had a moment.
Speaker 1: They're all they all were just having to outdo each
Speaker 1: other and like be this thing where it's like this
Speaker 1: is this is amazing. So I mean, again, this is
Speaker 1: just showing us that these people are basically like Truman
Speaker 1: showing Trump like in real time and creating this like
Speaker 1: alternate reality for him to operate in. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: this will lead to the most rational decision making we've
Speaker 1: ever seen.
Speaker 2: When people are telling.
Speaker 1: Me you're infallible and absolutely, I mean, we've like that.
Speaker 2: It's the thing with like then nine nothing Supreme Court
Speaker 2: decision that we talked about yesterday that at first he
Speaker 2: was like nine nothing Supreme Court decision. Yeah, that one
Speaker 2: went for us, right, and everyone thought he was just
Speaker 2: being like an asshole and that it turns out they
Speaker 2: just told him. He was like, that's not what my
Speaker 2: people told me. They told me that the nine zero
Speaker 2: went was very good for us. It was very good
Speaker 2: for us. Like he's just not getting the real information.
Speaker 2: It's wild.
Speaker 1: Again, this is like what I was saying, I liken
Speaker 1: it to your parents are out of town and you're
Speaker 1: really old. Grandpa's watching you, and you know you can
Speaker 1: get him to let you do wild shit if you
Speaker 1: just kind of give enough of like a squasi realistic
Speaker 1: explanation and he's like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, I can play with.
Speaker 4: But there's stuff like even he can't believe it, like
Speaker 4: he made that supposed to joke about like like being pope, right,
Speaker 4: and then like Lindsay Graham's like, oh, you'd make a
Speaker 4: great pope, right, like right, and the idea of like
Speaker 4: someone something make it great hope.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually that's a very good point, Lindsay. I mean,
Speaker 2: get them on the phone, get to get the Vatican
Speaker 2: on the phone. There's still time.
Speaker 1: No, but again, like it's probably it will turn into
Speaker 1: something where Trump could even be being flippant and then.
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna take it serious.
Speaker 1: It's like I thought you wanted us to bring an
Speaker 1: entire nuclear strike fleet off the coast of Taiwan.
Speaker 2: No, I oh sorry I didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is just again I don't know where this leads,
Speaker 1: but it's really indicative of like a lot of these
Speaker 1: how these other interests have really captured the White House
Speaker 1: and now know how to manipulate and get whatever they
Speaker 1: want done. Again, not to absolve Trump of any responsibility here.
Speaker 1: But this is how this White House is moving, Like
Speaker 1: people are able to get ideas into his head, get
Speaker 1: him to do it, and then tell him it's okay,
Speaker 1: and then he defends it and for him, Like I'm
Speaker 1: sure a lot of this, many of this stuff aligns
Speaker 1: with his worldview, but it's just freaky when you just
Speaker 1: see how aggressive these people, like, how much, how sycophantic
Speaker 1: this if that's even a word.
Speaker 2: The cabinet of sycophants do their dance. Thank you, That's
Speaker 2: my poem for the day. Damn fucking bars.
Speaker 6: Yeahs do their dance.
Speaker 7: It's like a fans will make them dance, will make
Speaker 7: them dance. Oh, your journal list is honest. I'm a
Speaker 7: sick of fan. There you go. That is why, like
Speaker 7: it does seem to have stepped up a new level.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I just having that meeting in
Speaker 2: a packed room in front of TV cameras, and the
Speaker 2: whole premise of the meeting just seems to be I
Speaker 2: go around and I point to you, and you glaze
Speaker 2: me for like three minutes in a row, and then
Speaker 2: I point to another person and they do the same thing,
Speaker 2: but from their department let go. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, man.
Speaker 1: So that's the state of things right now as we
Speaker 1: continue to see all kinds of nonsense come out of
Speaker 1: the White House. But I think it's being able to
Speaker 1: see how it all comes together. It's just instructive or
Speaker 1: not at least helps us really see how everything is
Speaker 1: really operating.
Speaker 2: There have we gotten any other reporting that's like these
Speaker 2: people are fun terrified behind the scenes, probably not right,
Speaker 2: Like nobody's being given access like they have to in
Speaker 2: reality be in that position where they're like they're thinking
Speaker 2: going into every day is like how do we keep
Speaker 2: this lunatic on the rails?
Speaker 1: That's I mean, but that's all that's been the reporting
Speaker 1: for every person who's worked with him from the beginning,
Speaker 1: you know, And.
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, like what if there's any honesty going
Speaker 2: on at all about that within this administration.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the only thing that really got
Speaker 1: Trump to come around on like tariffs, and even not
Speaker 1: that even came around, but at least out like softened
Speaker 1: the rhetoric was when he saw the bond market like
Speaker 1: taking the ship, and that's when he's like, oh I
Speaker 1: know about that, And clearly something got to him there.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think if enough people tell him
Speaker 1: the same thing, he'll probably believe it. Then that's seems
Speaker 1: to be the case.
Speaker 2: I will say, we now have two administrations in a
Speaker 2: row with like elderly people who people who the people
Speaker 2: around them just couldn't tell them shit, just could not
Speaker 2: tell Joe Biden fucking anything. He was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: whether it be Gaza or whether it be you're too
Speaker 2: fucking old and people don't like you, like he that
Speaker 2: was news to him when it finally came out, even
Speaker 2: like and he still thinks like it was a conspiracy
Speaker 2: to like take him down. No, is a conspiracy to
Speaker 2: keep you in fam Yeah, I think this is. This
Speaker 2: is a like I think we have plenty of evidence
Speaker 2: that maybe the president that bad institution that we need
Speaker 2: to take another look at. Yeah, well or at least
Speaker 2: term limits. We'll get to that in a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe twenty thirty years. So we'll take a look at that.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break. Then we'll come back and
Speaker 2: look where we got some of our ideas about the presidency.
Speaker 2: They're all super realistic and good. We'll be right back,
Speaker 2: and we're back. We're back, and there's a slight uptick
Speaker 2: in one of the all time great movie genres, the
Speaker 2: presidential action movie. I don't know if you guys are
Speaker 2: fans of hey, for.
Speaker 1: Whatever reason, I really did not fuck with like these movies.
Speaker 2: Not that it's just to be like yo, I'm like
Speaker 2: I was. I was seeing four D. I just I
Speaker 2: just didn't get it. Like I remember when Air Force
Speaker 2: one came out all like so many of my friends
Speaker 2: like the fucking air Force one plane. Yeah, and for me,
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, Harrison Ford, it moves so like
Speaker 2: like a fragile old guy. I'm like, y'all didn't see
Speaker 2: Patriot Games and Clear and President Danger. Bro, he's not
Speaker 2: built for action like that. Like I get what he's doing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but look, I'm not gonna say I don't
Speaker 2: watch him. But not for me.
Speaker 1: My favorite I think movie president Bill Pullman.
Speaker 2: In depends he was the one. So it's interesting to
Speaker 2: like think about movie presidents and how they overlap and
Speaker 2: like what just again, like to Jam's point, I write her,
Speaker 2: Jam was like, think about this if it was any
Speaker 2: other country, and like that country was making a movie
Speaker 2: about their president just beating the ship out of all
Speaker 2: the bad guys, it's it's like hilarious propaganda when you
Speaker 2: take a step back, but because we're inside of the
Speaker 2: context of American propaganda, people are just like Harrison, I'd
Speaker 2: elect Harrison for my president. The Rock should run for president. Dude.
Speaker 1: Imagine imagine Margaret Thatcher beating the fuck out of the
Speaker 1: Argentinians during the Falklands War.
Speaker 2: Dude. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 14: Dude, that would have done huge funk.
Speaker 2: Around and find out would be the name of that movie.
Speaker 2: I think. Early this month, Amazon Prime released G twenty,
Speaker 2: which is essentially Die Hard, but with the G twenty
Speaker 2: Summit instead of an office Christmas party. It started Viola
Speaker 2: Davis as the US President, who's like a cross between
Speaker 2: John McLean and Kamala Harris the most brat. She's brat,
Speaker 2: but she's also hungover and had enough and wearing a top,
Speaker 2: like a ripped, bloody tank top. It's definitely like one
Speaker 2: where they were like, we think we know which way
Speaker 2: the election is gonna go. She's wearing a tank top.
Speaker 2: She's wearing a tank top on the poster. Wow, Oh
Speaker 2: they're really John mclaney this shit, yeah, because you'll never
Speaker 2: see a president in a fucking tank top, like even though,
Speaker 2: like I mean, it was like Obama hooping.
Speaker 4: You got your tan tak top right right, yeah, but
Speaker 4: it was too tan.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She even like has a conversation with the bad
Speaker 2: guy who is a bearded who like has a beard,
Speaker 2: and like she's talking to him on a walkie talkie throughout,
Speaker 2: just like Diehard. That's it is legit, Just like what
Speaker 2: if Diehard was at the G twenty summit that Wowright?
Speaker 2: Oh and it's Anthony Starr from the Boys. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't watch The Boys, but he looks.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the he's the main.
Speaker 2: To hanging out too busy hanging out with the boys.
Speaker 2: Watch the Boys, you know, he's Homelander on the Boys. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So this one was like, we're putting our chips down
Speaker 2: on Kamala. She's gonna win. This movie is going to
Speaker 2: be about a right wing crypto terrorist who trying to
Speaker 2: like crash the global economy to help bitcoin or some
Speaker 2: shit that's actually in the that's on the movie's poster
Speaker 2: help bitcoin or some shit, I don't know, help bitcoin
Speaker 2: or some ship dude. And then Prime is also leasing
Speaker 2: Heads of State, which will start John Cena as an
Speaker 2: action star turned president, so like Arnold Schwarzenegger, if he
Speaker 2: was born in America would have probably already been our
Speaker 2: president by now, who like gets thrown into a real
Speaker 2: life emergency along with British Prime Minister Idris Elba.
Speaker 1: I love that they're really swinging for the fences of
Speaker 1: that one. It's like, dude, we also need like a
Speaker 1: hot prime minister also to really make this get Idris
Speaker 1: Elba get him in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like it's like a Reagan Schwarzenegger mashup,
Speaker 2: and he's clearly a Republican because he has like a
Speaker 2: giant red tie the whole time, which perfect timing Amazon
Speaker 2: Prime on this one. That's what everybody wants to see.
Speaker 1: You think they like, do you think he was seen
Speaker 1: as supposed to be a Democrat and then Trump went
Speaker 1: and then Jeff Bezos like had him color correct the
Speaker 1: tie to be drum just like just didn't get any smoke.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, it was actually like inspired by you
Speaker 1: because you're exactly like John Cena, do same hairline and everything.
Speaker 2: It was played by George Clooney and then they just
Speaker 2: replaced him with John Cena using AI.
Speaker 4: But don't you think, Like I mean, for as much
Speaker 4: as like this is us propaganda for like like it's
Speaker 4: sort of I don't know who saw someone in Middle
Speaker 4: America or something like, this type of movie is the
Speaker 4: type of movie that could influence Trump, right, Like you
Speaker 4: could actually be making propaganda for one if you like,
Speaker 4: if you set this thing and then you like put
Speaker 4: in an argument about like you know why you shouldn't
Speaker 4: put hiked tariffs or whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh whoa, don't give his cabinet ideas. Now you would
Speaker 2: actually need to ingrain, like encode all of the messaging
Speaker 2: that you wanted into the fight scenes. Because as we know,
Speaker 2: people talking about his cinema, like what he does with movies,
Speaker 2: and like he actually has you cut out all the
Speaker 2: in between parts of Van Damn movies. It's just wall
Speaker 2: to wall the fight parts. Yeah. Yeah, that's a real
Speaker 2: story that like he had somebody edit all of Van
Speaker 2: Dam's movies just so it was just the fighting. Because
Speaker 2: there's too much story. I guess.
Speaker 1: Someone just show him just go on YouTube and should
Speaker 1: and look up Van Damn best fight scenes, right, showing he.
Speaker 2: Didn't know the computer whiz to do that for him.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, but yeah, I don't know. It's so
Speaker 2: I think this hit its peak in the nineties when
Speaker 2: all the examples that we've been talking about. Bill Pullman
Speaker 2: was obviously, you know, gives a pretty rousing speech about
Speaker 2: uh Independence Day, Independence Day in Independence Day as Independence Day,
Speaker 2: in which he cut the speech comes to the climax
Speaker 2: with the titular words Independence Day. But he actually Bill
Speaker 2: Pullman accused George W. Bush of copying his Independence Day
Speaker 2: character by cosplaying as a fighter pilot right before he
Speaker 2: gave his mission accomplished speech, which probably right, Like, I
Speaker 2: mean what we know of Washington, Like they pay attention
Speaker 2: to movie iconography, and you know, they know the power
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and also just leaning into like he's like
Speaker 1: and yeah, George Bush is kind of in the military,
Speaker 1: depending on which way you look at it. So it
Speaker 1: all looks great, It all looks great. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: Air Force one is the big one. It's like, the
Speaker 1: protagonist of the movie is the president. He is an
Speaker 1: action hero. He is like somehow becomes the underdog even
Speaker 1: though he's the president. The movie literally includes scenes in
Speaker 1: which the hijacker villain reveals that the president keeps murdering
Speaker 1: civilians with smart bombs yep, and the president is We're
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, but he's I don't know, but that's
Speaker 1: I'd have a beer with Harrison Ford, you know. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: very it's a very pre nine to eleven mentality where
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, if we're dropping bombs, it's because
Speaker 1: it's on bad people. R right, That's that's all I
Speaker 1: that's that's the extent of my foreign policy knowledge as
Speaker 1: an American. If we drop bombs, it's for a good
Speaker 1: fucking reason, Okay, and they deserved it probably, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it is funny. That scene just goes over everyone's head.
Speaker 1: It's like, dude, this, why IS's he complaining about smart bombs?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Kick his ass? President Harrison Ford. Yeah, he's basically
Speaker 2: complaining about like Bush George W. Bush doctrine like policies
Speaker 2: even and like is confronted by the consequence of that
Speaker 2: and Obama, you know, but he's a cool guy who
Speaker 2: beats people up. So we're on board. And then presidents
Speaker 2: themselves have like, in addition to w trying to pull
Speaker 2: pull out the uh the flight suit. Yeah, I was
Speaker 2: in the Air National Guard. Bush and Trump both used
Speaker 2: the movie's score at events that like air Force one score.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he likes Air Force one enough that
Speaker 1: like we could all run a collective sigh up on it.
Speaker 2: Like release the director's cut of Air Force one.
Speaker 1: He get, like I think they should. And it's the
Speaker 1: most engineered thing to fuck with Trump's brain that we've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Be like, wow, I'm gary Oldman.
Speaker 2: Trump has himself suggested he's a big fan of Air
Speaker 2: Force one and loves Harrison Ford because he stood up
Speaker 2: for America Arison Ford had to be like, so that
Speaker 2: was a movie. But and then Jamie Fox played an
Speaker 2: action hero Obama in white House Down. Are you guys
Speaker 2: white House down or just down? Franchise fans?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, down for it all down for
Speaker 1: Jerry Butler.
Speaker 2: Wait that, oh yeah white House What were the other one? Whatever?
Speaker 1: The other downs? Or is that part of Olympus Has Fallen?
Speaker 2: Olympus has Fallen? White House Down?
Speaker 1: No, there's the Has Fallen series? Yeah, I think white
Speaker 1: House Down is like when we thought white House Down
Speaker 1: was Dante's Peak, that.
Speaker 2: Was Channing Tatum. Wow, Okay, you know, no idea, this
Speaker 2: is movies.
Speaker 1: What are the two Magician films that came out at
Speaker 1: the same time it's like that kind.
Speaker 2: Of the illusionist. Yeah, exactly where it's like is Olympus
Speaker 2: has faun or a white house down describing kind of
Speaker 2: the same thing. That's crazy. Yeah. And then I mean
Speaker 2: they even made a JFK action movie about his like
Speaker 2: World War two heroics while he was in office. There
Speaker 2: we Go just like made an action movie was starring
Speaker 2: the president while he was the president p T. One
Speaker 2: oh nine And it came out like a month before
Speaker 2: he was assassinated. Oh, it's crazy. That's why I'm glad
Speaker 2: they came up with rotten tomatoes and fan meter. So
Speaker 2: if you have more constructive ways of voicing your displeasure
Speaker 2: about a film, you think that's why you think that's
Speaker 2: what went down? It could be. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: know you're into the day. I mean have you have
Speaker 2: you thought have we considered that? Yeah? We just saw
Speaker 2: that movie and I was like, not a fan. You know what,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do something about it. He had some rotten
Speaker 2: tomatoes next to him and a rifle.
Speaker 4: Have you heard about that Jackie Kennedy movie that she made,
Speaker 4: That home movie of Kennedy being like a spy or
Speaker 4: like it's like she directed it at their house and
Speaker 4: it's just like a little home movie. But he's like
Speaker 4: play acting being a spy. No, it's like the home
Speaker 4: action movie. I guess wow.
Speaker 2: There. I am fascinated by the way. Now it is
Speaker 2: like the one president that I feel like does have
Speaker 2: a backstory that is like he did something that's like
Speaker 2: straight up in action, like what he did in World
Speaker 2: War Two. Was staged his.
Speaker 1: Own murder in the Amateurs spy movie.
Speaker 4: It's not crazy. It was like it was like a
Speaker 4: month before or something.
Speaker 2: There was all sorts of shit. I mean the day
Speaker 2: of he was like, look, if somebody, look Jackie, if
Speaker 2: somebody wants to shoot me from a hotel balcony, that
Speaker 2: like it's going to happen. Like he was like he
Speaker 2: knew what could happen, and was just like, huh, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Whatever, They're like, we don't really
Speaker 2: love this for you right now. That's like open top
Speaker 2: driving through a city that is like wildly blood thirsty
Speaker 2: for you. Like they took out a full page ad
Speaker 2: calling you like an enemy of the people, and he
Speaker 2: was like, you know, what are you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 2: And it's all about art, It's all about the eye.
Speaker 2: That's right, and then the Secret Service were too hungover
Speaker 2: to argue with him, So all right, man, this fucking guy. Whatever. Anyways,
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see these new movies. So I
Speaker 2: know who to vote for next time.

Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a there's like a little phone game called
Speaker 4: three hundred and sixty eight Chickens, and it's like super
Speaker 4: addictive and you're just trying to line up chickens and
Speaker 4: like it, every time you line them off, it like
Speaker 4: takes off two chickens or three chickens of a kind
Speaker 4: or whatever. And it's kind of hard to beat. But
Speaker 4: once you beat it and you freed all the chickens,
Speaker 4: it locks you out of the game and you can
Speaker 4: never play it again.
