Speaker 3: your New England salad pot pie. Yeah, it's the food
Speaker 3: in Austin for some like there's a ton of good
Speaker 3: food cities, but it is heavier in so many different ways,
Speaker 3: where like a meat at night does sit heavier than
Speaker 3: like if you go to New York late it had
Speaker 3: slices of pizza, like you will feel so much worse,
Speaker 3: like just silk, no soaking from the meat sweats. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you do have to train your body, but I don't
Speaker 3: know if that would ever even happen.
Speaker 1: No, beef Mayre's delight meat in mourning, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't have anything and Miles. You know, you know the
Speaker 1: famous thing, you just ate two sausage patties. Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 3: They thought you were getting one. Now elaborate on that.
Speaker 3: So you thought you were getting one, and you believe
Speaker 3: the second one came by way of complaints.
Speaker 2: Every time I've had they would say, it's like a
Speaker 2: double sausage patty. This just felt like some ship like
Speaker 2: this was normal. They're like, yeah, bro, you had a
Speaker 2: double two sausage patties in there.
Speaker 1: We started off double. Anyways, Blake, it's wonderful to have you.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit better,
Speaker 1: and I'm all we're going to tell the listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the line go down, market chaos, Uh is happening. The
Speaker 1: mainstream media is paying attention two ways in which the
Speaker 1: Trump administration baid. But that's because line go down, and
Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about that and why it's
Speaker 1: actually because he's good. The reason the economy is going
Speaker 1: down is because he's good.
Speaker 2: Ball. Yeah, mainly it's balls.
Speaker 1: And then we'll we'll talk about some mega people who
Speaker 1: are facing repercussions, such as the woman who tipped her
Speaker 1: waiter wrote out the word zero you suck, and then
Speaker 1: some other horrible things and now has a gofund me
Speaker 1: of being racism for finding out. Yeah, exactly my finding out.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful tale.
Speaker 1: And also Elon Musk, I feel like is in the
Speaker 1: finding out phase in a couple of ways.
Speaker 2: So we'll check in with him.
Speaker 1: And we'll look at some of these j D bands
Speaker 1: memes that have taken the world the Internet by storm
Speaker 1: and ask is there a deeper meaning here? All that
Speaker 1: plenty more, But first, Blake, we do like to ask
Speaker 1: our guest, what is something for your search history?
Speaker 3: Something for my search history? How to give a dog
Speaker 3: a massage? I I was thinking recently where I'm like,
Speaker 3: so you pet dogs, you cuddle dogs, But I'm like,
Speaker 3: I bet they would want a massage too, especially as
Speaker 3: they get older and like their joints get, you know,
Speaker 3: start to hurt. And I googled how to give a
Speaker 3: dog a massage? And the videos believe or not really
Speaker 3: fucking weird. So I'm personally taking my foot off because
Speaker 3: the reason that dogs up for it, Like, what the
Speaker 3: oh my god, no, but I'm sure that exists.
Speaker 2: I want to think about.
Speaker 3: That's the natural. Next next they put on like the music,
Speaker 3: and it was more like rubbing than like kneading, you know,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, I just want to give my
Speaker 3: dog like a little bit of a you know, some
Speaker 3: squeezes in the shoulders and the haunches and you know,
Speaker 3: pat them on the head is kind of what I
Speaker 3: was more looking for. But this was a whole, a
Speaker 3: whole fucking thing. So I think there's different degrees.
Speaker 2: Where'd you net out? Like, so, what kind of service
Speaker 2: did you put? Yeah, reiki? It was.
Speaker 3: It was a combination between a reiki and like a
Speaker 3: light tissue.
Speaker 2: I do that to my dog though, because I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: come on, man, you you've had a heart. Like I
Speaker 2: do the same thing mentally to my dog, thinking like yeah,
Speaker 2: they'll like this, but I just kind of massage like
Speaker 2: the neck because I'm like, well, they hold their necks
Speaker 2: up all the time, so I just kind of like
Speaker 2: just just work out those neck muscles and not in
Speaker 2: a way where I'm like is the pressure good? More
Speaker 2: just to be like here is soothing touch on your
Speaker 2: neck muscles?
Speaker 1: YEA, yeah, I feel like I wanted to do that
Speaker 1: to my dogs. And they just never fucked with it.
Speaker 1: They just wanted like little scratches.
Speaker 2: Oh they're doing just what this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all have our preferences as dogs. And speaking
Speaker 3: of the reiki thing, my now wife and I were
Speaker 3: like in Lake Arrowhead, which doesn't matter where we were,
Speaker 3: but it was for Valentine's Day and then we were
Speaker 3: like kind of hanging out after the dinner. So she
Speaker 3: like checked her phone real quick to make sure our
Speaker 3: dog was okay and had like a bunch of messages
Speaker 3: and her wrote, our hour Rover wanted to give him
Speaker 3: energy healing like from wow, like and she was like, oh, wait,
Speaker 3: that won't hurt him, right, And then fifty minutes later
Speaker 3: she just like, I'm like, you're worse than this lady is,
Speaker 3: because like she's like, what tell us about his trauma
Speaker 3: and like insinuating that there was trauma. She's like, he
Speaker 3: can't be around skateboards. She may have been neutered like
Speaker 3: two weeks two or or something, and I'm like, what
Speaker 3: are you doing?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, it's a real people. Do your dog a scorpio? Actually?
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, he's a scorpio for sure. Introduction of scorpio.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that dog is such a scorpio.
Speaker 3: If you like, I don't know what month that is,
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I can't. I have no tolerance for it.
Speaker 3: I hate the sky.
Speaker 1: Anything, clouds, stars them all the sun, not Drune, not drun,
Speaker 1: They're cool. Those Angel had a nice conversation with with
Speaker 1: some people with a drone podcast that we might have
Speaker 1: to have on this show.
Speaker 3: That'd be sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just how to fly him showing some sick footage
Speaker 1: that they caught. Damn you shot this in one take,
Speaker 1: going through a sushi restaurant.
Speaker 2: That's sick. What is something flake you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Underrated? Like this is actually a serious like listening to
Speaker 3: your body and whether or not it needs to massage
Speaker 3: a talk. No, it's like listening to your body where
Speaker 3: if it's like, oh, if you're tired, if you're feeling exhausted,
Speaker 3: or if you feel like you're getting sick, like take
Speaker 3: a power Oh yeah, no, that's what I used to do.
Speaker 3: And it's like, oh, it's weird that I've been sick
Speaker 3: for four years. Maybe I should maybe take some time off.
Speaker 3: But also like if you want to, like I don't know,
Speaker 3: if you work out a lot and your like body
Speaker 3: feels like shit. It's like, hey, like, don't don't do
Speaker 3: that today. Maybe they can break out today. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 3: don't work out today. And where did you do this?
Speaker 2: Little? Where'd you find this stuff out? Where'd you get
Speaker 2: this wisdom?
Speaker 3: I got this wisdom from a scorpio actually that I
Speaker 3: ran into on the string?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who asked me about my trauma?
Speaker 1: The subreddit for cucks who aren't on their grind set?
Speaker 2: Is that where you got it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Frick? Are you?
Speaker 3: Where is this coming from?
Speaker 2: Why are you talking grinding?
Speaker 1: Bro? Are you you're trying to stay You're trying to
Speaker 1: fuck with my bag by saying shit like this.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just trying to help people relax and not
Speaker 3: everybody's like you. Not everybody doesn't have an off switch.
Speaker 2: Yo. You ever met my boy Blake, Dude, they call
Speaker 2: him the pepper mill because you stay grinding.
Speaker 3: Oh I told you that in confidence, but that is true.
Speaker 3: If we're going to stay it on air, they do
Speaker 3: call me the pepper mill, although.
Speaker 2: Pepper mills do take nice long breaks in between when
Speaker 2: the people bring them out to put the pepper mil
Speaker 2: on your what's yeah, what's that like for the pepper milk?
Speaker 2: Where it's like and now what I'm no longer.
Speaker 1: I look at the fucking pepper mill and I get
Speaker 1: so angry because that ship doesn't stay grinding?
Speaker 2: Just can I so fucking lazy dude.
Speaker 3: Does the wood on the pepper mill need to be
Speaker 3: that nice?
Speaker 2: I mean it feels like that, like specific design, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like the kind of wood just reminds you of
Speaker 2: like a like a chair leg at like an Italian
Speaker 2: restaurant from the eighties.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's where it started. Maybe we're chair leg Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just bash the pepper corns with a chair leg.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you want some pepper?
Speaker 3: This is any Yeah?
Speaker 2: You have you seen the.
Speaker 1: Pepper mills that are like motor like they have a
Speaker 1: motor yeah, yeah, with the battery that makes for no
Speaker 1: reason as well automate that as much as anything else.
Speaker 1: But it just makes me angry. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: I don't know why. In my mind, I think it's
Speaker 2: somehow less than than if I do it with my hands.
Speaker 2: It's like my idea there. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe because it's like the same way like coffee people
Speaker 2: use like the handmill versus like the electric one, because
Speaker 2: it affects the flavor, but I doubt that's for me.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the motorized coffee grinder, but the pepper
Speaker 1: mill better be giving somebody a repetitive stress injury in
Speaker 1: their wrist.
Speaker 2: Because otherwise I'm not happy. It better be fucking two
Speaker 2: feet long.
Speaker 1: That better be so long, man, better be better be
Speaker 1: a pot possible murder weapon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a literal.
Speaker 3: A shoulder mounted all right, Blake, what is something that
Speaker 3: you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna go with hardcovered
Speaker 3: books or hardcover books. They're too big, they're hard to pack,
Speaker 3: like into a bag, and they are dangerous where the
Speaker 3: corners are so pointy, where if you aren't paying attention,
Speaker 3: that could take an eye out, it could penetrate your skin,
Speaker 3: Like no one knows what do you mean.
Speaker 2: I've always been like this, take an eye out? Were
Speaker 2: you hardcover book?
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm a team team paperback. And that is
Speaker 3: a hashtag that is not catching on despite the amount
Speaker 3: of money I've put into that.
Speaker 2: But do they still like?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's still the standard process to go
Speaker 1: hardcover into paperback paperback, like and only if you succeed
Speaker 1: do you get a paperback printed. If it's some shiit
Speaker 1: nobody wants to read. They're just like, well, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna we're not gonna follow through on that.
Speaker 3: And they're more expensive too.
Speaker 1: They're more expensive. They are way more dangerous. This is
Speaker 1: like a take that a three year old would have,
Speaker 1: like being like those things are dan, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, or like somebody year old, Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: do you have a do you have like a child
Speaker 1: around the house that recently or you're just you just
Speaker 1: know not recently.
Speaker 3: They've thrown into a fifty year old.
Speaker 1: Man, you know.
Speaker 2: It's it's funny. I was just reading this thing because
Speaker 2: I was trying to get a book in paperback and
Speaker 2: it just wasn't available for fucking ever. And like, I
Speaker 2: don't want a fucking hardcover book. And there's this article
Speaker 2: that just came out that it said more publishers are actually,
Speaker 2: for quote, foregoing books second life in favor of sticking
Speaker 2: to hardcover ebook and audiobook releases. So they're actually releasing
Speaker 2: less paperbacks.
Speaker 3: Now it's fucked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is fucked.
Speaker 3: And the book jack, I don't like the jacket on
Speaker 3: books either on hardcovers.
Speaker 2: What are you fucking cold?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I said of the book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then I throw it in the fire.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. And then I open up a
Speaker 3: window at a draft in see how it does. Doesn't
Speaker 3: do good? Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also, you know, as we've talked about on the show,
Speaker 1: the soft you know, paperbacks, if they're of a sufficient size,
Speaker 1: can be used as a as a great way to
Speaker 1: you know, hit somebody without bruising.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Nobody works with someone like grown somebody you're interrogating. Yeah,
Speaker 3: body with their pants off and their ass in the air. Yeah,
Speaker 3: face down, ass up.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, don't read that one. Don't read that's
Speaker 2: all right, Blake, thank you so much, thank you, thank
Speaker 2: you so much. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 2: be right back to talk about some news. And we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back, dude, We're back, dude.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm always I've always got the stock
Speaker 1: app up on my smart smartphone device and.
Speaker 2: Just Pokemon go dude. All right, So I have Pokemon
Speaker 2: Go up. But like in many ways, Pokemon.
Speaker 1: Go, like can teach you a lot about the stock market,
Speaker 1: but I just I just live and die with that
Speaker 1: thing with the stymander. You know, I'm like everyone does,
Speaker 1: how's that freaking Nasdac doing.
Speaker 2: Dude. You know, it's fucking some p five hund Dude,
Speaker 2: just focus on the p the pepper because it stays
Speaker 2: grinding in the ess pepper five hundred. Is that what
Speaker 2: it actually tell me that I'd be like standards and poor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's up five hundred, but yeah, man, this the line
Speaker 2: goeth downward. And you know, Trump continues to sort of
Speaker 2: make good on his promise to make the country as
Speaker 2: fucked up as possible, and he's had to deal with
Speaker 2: not only outrage from his voters, but also the oligarch
Speaker 2: homies and the hyper wealthy buddies because they do not
Speaker 2: like when stonks go down and the Dow continues to
Speaker 2: move in the wrong direction. And all Trump did on
Speaker 2: Monday just to try and like fucking help out like
Speaker 2: kind of steady things. Was he posted like over like
Speaker 2: a hundred times in six hours on truth social just anything.
Speaker 2: Did he really? Yeah, dude, it was fucking wild. It
Speaker 2: was just ship like retweeting articles that were like Trump's
Speaker 2: doing good, like just this weird thing.
Speaker 1: He's like, let me just tweet out all the the
Speaker 1: first administration, having like a sense memory of like when
Speaker 1: things start going bad. He just like starts retweeting things compulsively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah right. It's like basically if a restaurant
Speaker 2: had like an account and they just started reposting their
Speaker 2: five star reviews when they're in the middle of like
Speaker 2: a racism controversy. They're like, but look at this one.
Speaker 2: Linda from Mission Viejo loved the penne But anyway, so
Speaker 2: now this is like become a huge thing with everyone
Speaker 2: talking from Fox News to the Wall Street Journal being
Speaker 2: like this is actually bad. Like I don't know what
Speaker 2: the fuck's going on like this because so many of
Speaker 2: these people are there's money, he's tied up in the
Speaker 2: stock market. They're like, what the fuck is like now
Speaker 2: we're getting touched? Now the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: Now is the big you know, you don't see it
Speaker 1: until it starts fucking touches money. Yeah, And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the media cli is like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: this hold on, this seems bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The way I still stay wealthy is now being
Speaker 2: is now in jeopardy because of this guy. And now
Speaker 2: it's time for the media and Trump's lackey's to sort
Speaker 2: of tell the people why the chaos is good. There's
Speaker 2: one that I particularly sticks out to me, this guy
Speaker 2: Rob Schmidt, who's on Newsmax and one of their stupidest
Speaker 2: like and that's that's an achievement to be one of
Speaker 2: their dumbest people on Newsmax. But yeah, this is he
Speaker 2: tweeted this out just to try and tell people to
Speaker 2: fucking chill the fuck out. Quote. Yeah, the TAO is plunging.
Speaker 2: This is happening because we have a president with the
Speaker 2: balls globalist economic agenda that's decimated American wages and quality
Speaker 2: of life. This is the pain that comes from real change.
Speaker 2: It's much easier to just pass the buck. So yeah,
Speaker 2: Trump's balls are giving you pain. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 1: They're two big miles. I've been saying that they're so big.
Speaker 1: His smoke too, He smoked too tough.
Speaker 2: His ball's too big.
Speaker 1: I look, I don't give too much of a ship
Speaker 1: when the stock market is doing well, because that money
Speaker 1: is just getting funneled upward to corporations and like you know,
Speaker 1: they use it to do stock buybacks. But when the
Speaker 1: economy takes an absolute shit like, that's when trickle down
Speaker 1: economics actually becomes a thing.
Speaker 3: That's what it is.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that trickles down on all of us. And when
Speaker 1: the stock market costs down, Yeah, corporations are suddenly like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got we're facing headwinds. We've got to start firing
Speaker 1: people when it goes up. Yeah, they just keep that
Speaker 1: money for themselves. So it's a real win win for
Speaker 1: like five people and lose lose for everyone else. But
Speaker 1: it's also a little thrilling when this happens, because it
Speaker 1: does seem to be the only thing that matters to
Speaker 1: this country in terms of who gets to wheel power
Speaker 1: is right when the stock fuck the money up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't fuck the money like that, keep the stock on
Speaker 1: the rails so that the wealthy people and the wealthy
Speaker 1: corporations that drive everything forward. I wouldn't say progress, but
Speaker 1: like everything else, like keep the wheels of power emotion,
Speaker 1: like all that needs the money to go forward. But
Speaker 1: like the Democratic Party only really exists because they cater
Speaker 1: to keeping that whole, like the you know, the capital
Speaker 1: e economy. That's what like they sacrificed, Like that's what
Speaker 1: Obama sacrificed the hope and change message for when he
Speaker 1: like bailed out the Wall Street banks. It's you know
Speaker 1: why Bernie was not allowed to win against Hillary, and
Speaker 1: then I think like internalized Wall Street journal op eds
Speaker 1: caused Democratic voters to think Biden was the only real
Speaker 1: option in twenty twenty. But it also feels like the
Speaker 1: thing that could be the Jenga block that could cause
Speaker 1: the second administration to really fall apart, you know, like
Speaker 1: Trump so Trump like there there definitely seems to be
Speaker 1: like more pop culture support.
Speaker 2: For Trump this time around.
Speaker 1: I just found out Tiger Woods like openly endorses Donald Trumps.
Speaker 2: Trump said he was the Tiger Woods of presidents during that.
Speaker 1: Stupid there's all sorts of rappers who are endorsing him
Speaker 1: in a way that I find troubling. The real buy
Speaker 1: in that's important, though, that he had the first time
Speaker 1: around that he might stop having this time is Wall
Speaker 1: Street and the massive corporations like and you know, all
Speaker 1: of his like radical We do things a little different
Speaker 1: around here. We serve things top us style. We we
Speaker 1: cut all government programs and policies. If that fucks up
Speaker 1: the money of Wall Street and like the big E economy.
Speaker 1: I do feel like that's a thing that might make
Speaker 1: this second administration like a little bit interesting. Yeah, it might,
Speaker 1: It might start to the deep state, might start really
Speaker 1: deep stating on his ass in a way that might
Speaker 1: make things pretty difficult for him. Otherwise, he's just going
Speaker 1: to keep you know, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3: And these corporations and big money people, they love predictability.
Speaker 3: They like to be able to predict how much money
Speaker 3: is going to come in. And when you have a
Speaker 3: guy making decisions even though his balls are so fucking big, it's.
Speaker 2: One thing they didn't take into a camp lake.
Speaker 1: As they all backed as they were like, I don't know, man, like,
Speaker 1: let's just go full Trump.
Speaker 2: Let's a ball that is surge the nas sack.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, yes, so one thing we do know
Speaker 1: about Trump ginormous sacking balls tiny.
Speaker 3: Little bit tiny, But who needs one?
Speaker 2: We love We love potatoes around here, don't we.
Speaker 3: That's right?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like it's it might just go
Speaker 2: in a different direction for him now. Well it's I
Speaker 2: mean it's clear anytime keeps up, anytime someone comes in
Speaker 2: and disrupts the economy or like at least the status
Speaker 2: quo or talks about it, it uses the forces tend
Speaker 2: to sort of circle around to try and like purge
Speaker 2: it from the system. But I think in this time,
Speaker 2: because Trump comes in with such pro business speak, they're
Speaker 2: just having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that
Speaker 2: this guy is also absolutely rocking the boat, like in
Speaker 2: the most fucked up way, and they're like, wait, what
Speaker 2: wait where all of our capital protecting instincts now or
Speaker 2: have they gone out the window as they try and
Speaker 2: because now it's just turning into like begging on Fox News,
Speaker 2: where people are like, I would tell them, at President,
Speaker 2: you know, if this is a sales pitch, maybe we
Speaker 2: need to tweak the sales pitch a little bit and
Speaker 2: really get people to understand sort of how we look
Speaker 2: at this long term. And you know, I don't know
Speaker 2: how people like they're supposed to look at that last
Speaker 2: tweet and be like, yeah, my entire my whole retire
Speaker 2: might be in jeopardy because he has elephantiasis day. What
Speaker 2: is it? The balls and the balls? The thing is,
Speaker 2: this guy is destroying the economy intentionally, and I know
Speaker 2: many people are just like, well, he's just dumb. He
Speaker 2: doesn't He's like he's dumb and doing it on purpose.
Speaker 2: That's why it looks so fucking ridiculous, because his way
Speaker 2: of doing it is so absurd. And he talks tough
Speaker 2: on tariffs and walks it back so then and then
Speaker 2: threatens them again and again, like you're saying, Blake, it's
Speaker 2: that unpredictability that sends the markets in the direction that
Speaker 2: it is. And then while people are fearing like a
Speaker 2: full blown recession, Trump only worsens the problem when he
Speaker 2: gives answers like this. A lot of people were sharing
Speaker 2: this clip of him talking to Maria Bartiromo where she's
Speaker 2: just like this whole interview was meant to like calm
Speaker 2: the market and be like I'm gonna throw you soft balls,
Speaker 2: like saying, you know, do you expect a recession? And
Speaker 2: then you just say no, You say, this is I'm
Speaker 2: very confident in what's gonna happen. But this is how
Speaker 2: this fucking question was handled. When Marie asked the dear leader,
Speaker 2: because there are rising worries about a slowdown, You've got
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Federal Reserve say we're going to have a
Speaker 2: contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you
Speaker 2: inherited a mess and you say, I don't have been here.
Speaker 2: Are you expecting a reception this year? I hate to
Speaker 2: predict things like that.
Speaker 1: There is a period of transition, because what we're doing
Speaker 1: is very big.
Speaker 2: We're bringing wealth back to America.
Speaker 3: Okay, can you answer the recession?
Speaker 2: What about?
Speaker 1: I hate to use words like recession. I hate to
Speaker 1: predict anything.
Speaker 2: The best it was like and you inherited a mess
Speaker 2: that been two weeks hours, two weeks. I don't have
Speaker 2: been here, expect I been here for like, yeah, so
Speaker 2: this is it's getting bad. And again the like Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal has op eds now that essentially, like the
Speaker 2: distillation of the op eds are like, please stop, motherfucker O.
Speaker 2: Precious stunks and economy are shiitting the bed. And meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's new bestie Charlie Kirk is telling his years
Speaker 2: that they need He said, they need to shut up
Speaker 2: about egg prices just analogies what they do, Like, just
Speaker 2: shut up about the thing that I was telling you
Speaker 2: that he's going to make better. And he also told
Speaker 2: us he's going to make just shut up about it now,
Speaker 2: okay gas some Newsom? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see where this goes if he
Speaker 1: if he's able to.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The one thing that like keeps me from thinking this
Speaker 1: is going to continue to fall apart is that I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the like stock market and
Speaker 1: just like market economy in general to this point has
Speaker 1: been like that they can just kind of will themselves
Speaker 1: to stay, you know, like they can like during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: they were just like, I don't know what, We'll be fine,
Speaker 1: like just pretend like.
Speaker 2: Shit is good. We'll raise prices. We'll just yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: raise crisis and we'll scam peep lands, push push the
Speaker 2: pain downwards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a scary thing about him too, is
Speaker 3: that I'm trying to find a silver lining in a
Speaker 3: sack of shit, but like he in a big bald.
Speaker 2: Sec of shit.
Speaker 3: But he does. He's like the thing that was such
Speaker 3: a like a scary word in politics which is now
Speaker 3: probably like fifteen twenty years ago, is he just couldn't
Speaker 3: care less. Where the guy doesn't say anything that he
Speaker 3: actually believes in or thinks is true. So he will
Speaker 3: pause tariffs, he'll take the tariffs away, he'll put the
Speaker 3: terriffs back, and they'll be like, hey, remember when you
Speaker 3: tried to pick tariffs and it was destroying the economy,
Speaker 3: Like I don't we like, let's not talk about egg prices.
Speaker 2: Will talk up about it prices it is you just
Speaker 2: pull this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is nice to see them going through the
Speaker 1: exact same thing that Democrats were going through, where it
Speaker 1: was why doesn't everybody shut the fuck up about all
Speaker 1: the ways we're doing a bad job? Yeah, that's just
Speaker 1: the job of the party when they're in hour is
Speaker 1: like telling their supporters stop protesting guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just everybody, wait shop, why are you pointing
Speaker 2: out all the fucking inconsistencies and what we campaigned on
Speaker 2: and what we're delivering. This is like hater ration in
Speaker 2: the nation in this dancery the ration. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: kind of ties directly Blake what you were talking about about.
Speaker 2: Just the fact that they say whatever is whatever benefits
Speaker 2: them in the moment is my theory on the jd
Speaker 2: Vance memes. So our writer Jam was wondering if there's
Speaker 2: a deeper truth behind these jd vance memes that from Wired,
Speaker 2: who's the where's that quote from the deeper meaning thing?
Speaker 2: The deeper meaning or no deeper true? Oh, giz Moto
Speaker 2: it was the gizmo article.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Gizmoto wrote an article that was arguing that
Speaker 1: it's these memes are apparently popular across both the left
Speaker 1: and the right.
Speaker 2: The right is also meming him. You've seen those, right,
Speaker 2: Blake the like toddler face JD Van's me. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well they're they're everywhere. Yeah, it's like the new currency
Speaker 2: of the Internet.
Speaker 1: It was after the Ukraine meeting, right that. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: like quick background on it. If you're on the internet,
Speaker 1: you're seeing his bulbous face staring back at you. It
Speaker 1: took off after the the Linsky meeting, which this one
Speaker 1: is still my favorite. Like they just took the picture
Speaker 1: of him saying like you got to say please and
Speaker 1: thank you missus Winsky and just like gave him the
Speaker 1: biggest cheeks and he just looks like a big baby
Speaker 1: and it's really well executed. And then people from there,
Speaker 1: I mean people have been doing that for a little while,
Speaker 1: like turning into a cabbage patch doll, but that it
Speaker 1: really took off, and now it's like all anybody's doing.
Speaker 3: I don't know what he actually looks like anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the overly patriotic Minion is one that I've
Speaker 1: seen Baron Harkonen from Dune, although yeah.
Speaker 2: He looks a little kind of shredded in that one.
Speaker 2: I feel like he looks like Alex Jones, like in
Speaker 2: that one where he's kind of emerging emerging from the
Speaker 2: and head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the his they swapped out his head for the
Speaker 1: nuclear explosion from the original Akira manga.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: All great stuff. Although it should be noted that the
Speaker 1: photoshopping of JD. Vance began on the Republican side when
Speaker 1: Congressman Mike Collins, as our friend of the show former
Speaker 1: guest kat Abou put it, Mike Collins yaified Vance's portrait.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember this, like where there is a
Speaker 1: portrait of him and they just like made him look
Speaker 1: like a chat They.
Speaker 2: Just turned him into it. Yeah, it was like it
Speaker 2: was like it's like ozembic mixed with some botox and
Speaker 2: filler basically yeah, yeah and human. Yeah, they just made
Speaker 2: him w yeah.
Speaker 1: Just stud instead of around face baby.
Speaker 2: And so they they.
Speaker 1: Threw the first stone in this battle. But now, like
Speaker 1: even Fox News is reporting on the liberal trolls sharing
Speaker 1: the memes and like it's just a great screen cap.
Speaker 2: It's wild to have that chiron and like run this
Speaker 2: image or says liberal trolls share wild memes of JD.
Speaker 2: Vans and then just show all these brutal memes like yeah,
Speaker 2: why even I think that's where it's there, is like
Speaker 2: this weird appeal even to Republicans, where normally like sure,
Speaker 2: there's always like they'll do the thing, like you know,
Speaker 2: I remember there was a plenty of outrage reporting on
Speaker 2: like the shitty memes people would would post of like
Speaker 2: the Obamas or Biden or whatever. But like in this version,
Speaker 2: like it feels like they're trying to also be like,
Speaker 2: look what they're fucking doing to us, but also like
Speaker 2: they're showing so many that I'm sure people are just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's kind of funny. Though. That looks about right. And
Speaker 2: when you consider the fact that Republicans are also sharing
Speaker 2: this too, and again.
Speaker 1: Sees like everybody, Yeah, there's a Yahoo article that says
Speaker 1: but they're equally if not more popular on the right,
Speaker 1: explicitly pro Trump accounts on x that otherwise spend their
Speaker 1: time bashing liberals are posting embarrassing memes of their party
Speaker 1: second in command. I feel it does feel like the
Speaker 1: catch fucking all over again. I do want to note
Speaker 1: he tried to get in on the joke. He posted
Speaker 1: a meme of himself as Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon
Speaker 1: a Time in Hollywood, like pointing at the TV. But
Speaker 1: he of course just combined his face with Leonardo DiCaprio,
Speaker 1: so he like looked handsomer than he actually is. So
Speaker 1: he's not not really ready to laugh at himself so
Speaker 1: much as just once is like, hey, guys, I can
Speaker 1: so handsome.
Speaker 2: I am kind of but yeah.
Speaker 1: So Gizmoto's argument is that, like the you know, the
Speaker 1: popularity of these is evidence that there's something uniquely alien
Speaker 1: and awful about him, and that the distorted version of
Speaker 1: his face actually speaks to a deeper truth. And I
Speaker 1: think there's something true there, Like I think, like i'd
Speaker 1: say there's something like unacknowledged in his persona, in particular
Speaker 1: that he went from being like this liberal darling on
Speaker 1: MSNBC too, like people were like calling him like a
Speaker 1: hope for like defeating Trump, like on the on the
Speaker 1: Republican side, to like being business nazi and the vice
Speaker 1: president in the space of like a few years. And
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, it's boring to say, like
Speaker 1: these guys are empty suits, you don't believe in anything,
Speaker 1: but there is something existentially terrifying about the fact that
Speaker 1: the way you get ahead in this current version of
Speaker 1: our society is to be completely devoid of belief and
Speaker 1: just like yeah, just be willing to have meaning and
Speaker 1: belief projected onto you and be completely otherwise empty and
Speaker 1: not believe in anything. It's just like this like complete
Speaker 1: nihilism that he represents and the fact that he's just
Speaker 1: this completely malleable asshole who like succeeds in like going
Speaker 1: from one extreme to another at a time when you know,
Speaker 1: people like this is these belief systems are like, you know,
Speaker 1: liberal versus mega people are like we're about to have
Speaker 1: a civil war over this, and then you have this
Speaker 1: guy who just like fits in on both sides. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's like something existentially terrifying about that. And
Speaker 1: so to attack that malleability by making up memes about
Speaker 1: him fucking couches that just seem true immediately, or like
Speaker 1: bending his face in ways that also seem true like that,
Speaker 1: it's like kind of attacking him at his using his
Speaker 1: superpower against him. You know, It's it's true that like
Speaker 1: I can't picture what he looks like now because I've
Speaker 1: seen so many and it like I don't know that
Speaker 1: that would be true of other people necessarily, but because
Speaker 1: he just there's something he's just a complete fucking cipher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because he's liked to your point, because he's
Speaker 2: so amorphous ye to be able to ascend and to
Speaker 2: like fit in whatever space he needs to to curry
Speaker 2: favor or gain power. It's like, yeah, that same amorphousness
Speaker 2: lends itself to be like, oh, well you now you
Speaker 2: can actually be anything we say you are. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: and sort of it like like that's the subtext. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like with spies, like in movies where they're
Speaker 3: like the perfect spy, someone who's not memorable, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, he is the least memorable person,
Speaker 3: like from Ohio, you know, like it's if it wasn't
Speaker 3: for his eyelashes, you know, like, yeah, you would be beautiful.
Speaker 2: Like the yeah, and he is. He kind of looks
Speaker 2: like he kind of looks like one of the dudes
Speaker 2: who would have who pulled up with Zod in Superman.
Speaker 1: He does look like one of the dudes who you
Speaker 1: know what I mean because.
Speaker 2: They also have like kind of the beard with like
Speaker 2: the smoky eyeliner vibe, and I'm like, yeah, he was
Speaker 2: creating you were kicking it with odd bro. You were
Speaker 2: at that one bearded homie?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was your name?
Speaker 2: God, what was your name? That wasn't me. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm just just here to install your cable. Anyways, let's uh,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break and we'll be right.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And we started to see I guess the theme of
Speaker 1: that that well, I guess the theme of this episode
Speaker 1: besides that is is consequence maybe for some shady people.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about two people. One is a
Speaker 1: woman in Ohio who had a very specific message for
Speaker 1: her server, yes, at a restaurant, and one of them
Speaker 1: is Elon Musk. Yeah, but let's start with the woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this woman used the medium where all
Speaker 2: very brave racists go to do battle with people, is
Speaker 2: to write passive, aggressive messages on fucking receipts to servers.
Speaker 2: And there's just so many of these fucking like maga
Speaker 2: fuck around find out stories like that I see on
Speaker 2: the internet and like their entire youth. There's like an
Speaker 2: entire YouTube genre of this kind of video where it's
Speaker 2: dedicated to this kind of content because and I'm well
Speaker 2: aware that this serves mostly as copium in this time
Speaker 2: of great distress, but there are some stories that involve
Speaker 2: just some of the dumbest, hateful people. It's kind of
Speaker 2: hard to ignore it. So this woman in Ohio wrote
Speaker 2: down on a receipt after an interaction with a server
Speaker 2: at a Mexican restaurant, tip zero you suck, then the total,
Speaker 2: and then the signature was I hope Trump deports you.
Speaker 2: And she leaves that they're you know, and like the
Speaker 2: crap out her name. She crossed out her name on
Speaker 2: the merchant on her version. But you know, if you've
Speaker 2: been there, you usually get two copies for receipts, So
Speaker 2: she didn't take that. Her name's emblazoned on it. The
Speaker 2: server posts it. But wait, what did the server do
Speaker 2: to start off with? He told he informed this woman
Speaker 2: that the restaurant had a one coupon per table policy,
Speaker 2: and this lady, I guess fucking lost it because she
Speaker 2: thought this was extreme couponing or some shit and was
Speaker 2: trying to like double and triple up on the coupons.
Speaker 2: He's like, not only one coup per tape, Okay, that's
Speaker 2: the feeling.
Speaker 3: She wasn't trying to use two either, I don't think right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was trying to do that shit, like when
Speaker 2: I used to go to bathroom bed Bathroom beyond with
Speaker 2: that twenty percent off, and like I had a homie
Speaker 2: who thought you could bring five in and it was
Speaker 2: one hundred percent off.
Speaker 1: All right, So this one says twenty dollars off, this
Speaker 1: one says twenty dollars off. This one's twenty percent off.
Speaker 1: So it's actually it ends up at seven dollars that
Speaker 1: I vie for that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you just even read the fine print. Yeah,
Speaker 2: only one can be used per transaction. It's not how
Speaker 2: math works. So but I just do the math. Five
Speaker 2: times twenty is one hundred. One hundred percent means the
Speaker 2: one hundred per that I can take off with these
Speaker 2: seven hundred towels I bought anyway, So the fucking receipt
Speaker 2: was blake.
Speaker 3: You seem like you have a question, sir. I just
Speaker 3: got really upset. Another thing, I mean, the whole thing's upsetting.
Speaker 3: But like the way she wrote out the total as
Speaker 3: if it was a check.
Speaker 2: Yah, know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Eighty seven dollars in writing and and then eighty four
Speaker 1: over one hundred because she trust that this person wasn't
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 2: Like a, I don't know, yeah, add numbers to the end,
Speaker 2: so or yeah, or she's one of those people who
Speaker 2: is perpetually paranoid about something she read on Facebook about
Speaker 2: how you need to also write in text because the
Speaker 2: greedy poor people that serve you the food you fucking
Speaker 2: eat to live cannot will change the numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and your bank wouldn't flag in eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Forty forty dollars?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what it says here that you forty dollars A yeah.
Speaker 2: Once this receipt, Once this literal receipt was posted online,
Speaker 2: this woman fucking scrambled to defend herself. This is so fun,
Speaker 2: her first instinct. So she goes, this is what she
Speaker 2: posted on her Facebook. My credit card was lost slash
Speaker 2: stolen and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications,
Speaker 2: she said about this receipt. This has been reported.
Speaker 1: First of all, I just want to say thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to this to this waiter.
Speaker 2: Actually exactly, this has been reported through my bank and
Speaker 2: then on her link that was on Facebook, then on
Speaker 2: her LinkedIn because everybody was just fucking giving it to her.
Speaker 2: Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and
Speaker 2: profile hackers. I recently discovered a lost slash, missing credit
Speaker 2: card and an attempted you slash purchase. I appreciate your
Speaker 2: patience while I managed the situation. Oh okay, so she's
Speaker 2: doing that. I was hacked by my own races some defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 2: And this is the other thing. So she said she
Speaker 2: she was hacked, right. The problem is, lady, they have
Speaker 2: you in fucking four K on security cameras in the restaurant, assholes,
Speaker 2: so you can't even do You're not even get away
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 1: Nice to see the surveillance state work against racism for
Speaker 1: yah first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, got when I'm now this moment where I'm seeing
Speaker 2: a racist incident happened on security camera footage. It's not
Speaker 2: something involving the police. It's just some racist cell phone
Speaker 2: at a restaurant. Predictably, she was fired from her real
Speaker 2: estate gig, since you know most most I'm gonna say close,
Speaker 2: that's not that predictable anymore.
Speaker 1: I was. I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that
Speaker 1: she was. That's saying she was a real estate agent.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, let me let me guess the people. She
Speaker 1: was not showing homes through ever, But it's made like
Speaker 1: generally in the old in the days of in the
Speaker 1: old days, in the olden times. You know, most revenue
Speaker 1: generating enterprises know that racism can only get you so
Speaker 1: many customers. But again, so then what happened was people
Speaker 1: rallied around the server started to go fund me to
Speaker 1: support him and be like, let's show him how grateful
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: He got a little bit of money. And then, you know,
Speaker 2: which makes sense, especially in a climate right now where
Speaker 2: people are just cravingly using threats of calling ice or
Speaker 2: deport like deportation as a way to terrorize a person.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, what the fuck, what are you doing
Speaker 2: with these people? Then this racist woman decided to do
Speaker 2: a copycat move and start her own gofund me, which
Speaker 2: was you think he should get a go fund me.
Speaker 2: I'll show you this is mine. This is quote. Here's
Speaker 2: is called Stephanie's Path to Accountability, Reformation and second chance. Wow,
Speaker 2: this is this is what she wrote in the body
Speaker 2: of her fucking go fundme. Stephanie Lovin's deeply regrets a
Speaker 2: mistake she made that has had serious consequences on her
Speaker 2: life in a moment she.
Speaker 1: Can talk about it in the third person. Who did
Speaker 1: who in this writing? Does she expect us to believe
Speaker 1: his writing? This? I know?
Speaker 2: I mean, it feels like she's gonna end it. Signed
Speaker 2: is sincerely Stephanie Levin's. But it is in a moment
Speaker 2: of frustration, she wrote something offensive on a restaurant receipt
Speaker 2: that she now realizes was hurtful and wrong. Since then,
Speaker 2: she has faced intense backlash, lost her job and real
Speaker 2: estate license, and had to move herself from social and
Speaker 2: remove herself from social media due to embarrassment and harassment.
Speaker 2: The two great ments of art.
Speaker 1: He just didn't realize it, Miles. She didn't realize it
Speaker 1: was hurtful and wrong at the time. Now she has learned,
Speaker 1: and this is new information for her. I'm sorry this
Speaker 1: is It's not fair that everybody is ganging up on
Speaker 1: her when she just didn't know you couldn't do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the old, the old Chappelle joke of white privilege
Speaker 2: of saying, oh, I'm sorry, officer right, didn't know I
Speaker 2: couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: Uh, to try and get out and get pulled over
Speaker 1: with a white friend of the white friends seeding with
Speaker 1: the cop. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I couldn't do that,
Speaker 1: and the cops like, all right, I'll let you off
Speaker 1: with a warning, so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I didn't know. And now I have
Speaker 2: to get rid of my social media because it's so
Speaker 2: fucking bad. I'm honestly just get fucked. Like. This is
Speaker 2: the thing that these hateful people really need to understand.
Speaker 2: They clearly operate in a world where empathy is bad.
Speaker 2: That's why they're like the whole fuck your feelings type
Speaker 2: people so hate naturally seems like a normal thing to
Speaker 2: engage in. The other side of that coin, is Stephanie
Speaker 2: Lovin's is that you also, with that kind of energy,
Speaker 2: you create a world in which no one will fucking
Speaker 2: help your dumbass out either, because fuck caring about other people. Right,
Speaker 2: So you have to understand ideologically, if that's full steam,
Speaker 2: if that's like the that's that's the world you want
Speaker 2: to live in, because if it's not, if it's everybody else,
Speaker 2: no one is gonna come to your defense. That's why
Speaker 2: there's clearly this battle right now for over empathy and
Speaker 2: how the right is trying to kill empathy to try
Speaker 2: and get away with all this fucked up, inhumane shit
Speaker 2: they do to people, and this is the thing. We
Speaker 2: have to maintain that because just a world that's worth
Speaker 2: living in is one where you, when you need help,
Speaker 2: people just don't go, oh fuck you, get the fuck
Speaker 2: out of here.
Speaker 3: You know you.
Speaker 2: It's and it's not a utopia. It's just the idea
Speaker 2: that we care about each other. And that's just the
Speaker 2: most basic shit. But again, you wrote this on your seat.
Speaker 2: You're a tough guy, and I bet you walked out
Speaker 2: of Anger Management and I'll be seeing you shortly.
Speaker 1: Hate to see that her GoFundMe has since been removed,
Speaker 1: because I actually honestly believe the worst about America that
Speaker 1: like this could become a cause celeb among the right
Speaker 1: and get her funded.
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's too many of them right now. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's so many people, especially since Trump got elected, that
Speaker 2: are doing just wild shit doing and hitler salutes and
Speaker 2: then crying about it or fucking screaming shit and like
Speaker 2: and then getting like when they get in trouble.
Speaker 3: They're like, I'm sorry, I thought that was what's going on.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, that could he does that because he
Speaker 2: lives in a world of different consequences. You live down
Speaker 2: here with the fucking rest of us. So we're already
Speaker 2: like this shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're about just talking about Elon Musk facing consequences,
Speaker 1: which he has slightly, and that he lost like a
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars of his like one hundred two billion
Speaker 1: or one hundred billion dollars of his like five hundred
Speaker 1: billion fortune. That is, like, you know, historically the most
Speaker 1: money anyone's ever had in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: Like when people are talking about him facing consequences and
Speaker 1: Tesla's stock crumbling, to your point, Miles, like the Nazi
Speaker 1: salute is a big deal. I feel like it's getting
Speaker 1: written at like when people, like when the mainstream media
Speaker 1: is covering it, they keep being like and people who
Speaker 1: object to his dose policy and like his dough shit,
Speaker 1: It's like, no, he is the CEO of a major
Speaker 1: company that relies on people thinking that company is cool,
Speaker 1: and he did a cartoonish like obvious like like just
Speaker 1: couldn't control his body. He was doing a Nazi salute
Speaker 1: so hard on inauguration Day in front of the whole
Speaker 1: fucking world. Yeah like that, Yeah, that feels like the
Speaker 1: big thing that people are probably like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to drive a Tesla anymore? Are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Why would I ever drive
Speaker 1: a Tesla now? But like that's not being that's not
Speaker 1: how it's being discussed. People are like, yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: a controversial figure with he with this doge, with.
Speaker 2: His leadership style.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Like, and he's synonymous with that company, like
Speaker 3: everyone like he's Tesla is elon Ewon is Tesla. It's
Speaker 3: not like one of these like sock companies that Mark
Speaker 3: Cuban owns or it's like, you know, Mark Cuban owns
Speaker 3: this fucking sock company. It's like, yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: I guess I'll buy these. But it's he is Tesla's,
Speaker 3: So everything that he does directly impacts that stupid fucking company.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's like the thing that gets him, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, so much of his wealth is built on that,
Speaker 2: and so much of his the fucking mythos around him
Speaker 2: as a person is built around how as Tesla's Like,
Speaker 2: you know, the reason why it overperforms as a stock
Speaker 2: too is because he's also convinced people when he was
Speaker 2: like this isn't even like a fucking car company, dude,
Speaker 2: This is like a future AI fully animated world company
Speaker 2: that you want to get in now when we literally
Speaker 2: run everything. And that's how he's hoping to like resurrect
Speaker 2: this stock, because the whole thing is once he fucking
Speaker 2: takes a few l's, then he has to come out
Speaker 2: with some new weird thing and promise people the future
Speaker 2: and say it actually wasn't about any of the things
Speaker 2: that I promised before. It's about this new thing and
Speaker 2: get people more invested. But yeah, now it's just at
Speaker 2: that point where his actions the fucking the amount of
Speaker 2: like nazis he like posts that he'll like retweet and
Speaker 2: like it's just not it's just not even fucking like
Speaker 2: there's really no deniability around it anymore. But yeah, it
Speaker 2: is true. Like even in one Rolling Stone article, like
Speaker 2: they at least they mentioned it and they did like
Speaker 2: the sort of charitable thing is like and also doing
Speaker 2: a salute which many interpreted to be a Hitler salute. Interesting,
Speaker 2: but like just say that's what it was. And I
Speaker 2: get that they want to be like, well he said
Speaker 2: it wasn't so just.
Speaker 1: To be fair people, so especially like big companies like
Speaker 1: Rolling Stones, so like they probably their legal team of course,
Speaker 1: that sh it's just getting you know, lawyered, lawyered down
Speaker 1: as much as possible.
Speaker 2: But well, he allegedly did something that he was showing
Speaker 2: that he's really into the Third Reich. This is what
Speaker 2: I'll say, That's one way to put it. But this
Speaker 2: is him now talking on Fox because all the all
Speaker 2: of the fucking you know, headlines have been about like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, he lost all this money. All the stocks
Speaker 2: are going down. This guy is also part of the
Speaker 2: whole fucking know problem with the unpredictability of the economy.
Speaker 2: And also, you know, as we talked about in the
Speaker 2: episode that came out yesterday, was all the shit with
Speaker 2: people fucking attacking stores, protesting at stores, you know, vandalizing
Speaker 2: Tesla's just like just overall people are just like, bro,
Speaker 2: it's toxic to fucking drive one for the amount of
Speaker 2: thumbs downs and middle fingers I get. So this is
Speaker 2: him on Larry Kudlow's show, where he's being asked like
Speaker 2: damn man, you're fucking you're really taking a ton on
Speaker 2: by by standing.
Speaker 1: Looks like he got like a glow up, like he
Speaker 1: got a haircut, and definitely got a facial or something
Speaker 1: for this, and like got styled a little bit because
Speaker 1: he's not wearing his standard T shirt, black blazer. I
Speaker 1: think he has a little bit more. No, it's going
Speaker 1: on because they're like, we need to do something you.
Speaker 1: You are fucking hemorrhaging Q points right now, right exactly.
Speaker 1: Please don't show up to this interview looking like Captain Ketamine.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. Let's fucking act like the CEO.
Speaker 3: So this meant qanonots and I'm like, I think he's
Speaker 3: getting a lot of Yeah, he's getting a lot of.
Speaker 2: Q points with QAnon, but not well, what's the cure?
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called the Q raid? I think
Speaker 1: it was like Michael Jordan is the you are still
Speaker 1: the most popular one, like fifty years later. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: here's Elon. Let's see what let's see because maybe this
Speaker 1: is the interview where like he is sober for the
Speaker 1: first time in eighty days and it's like, oh fuck, yeah.
Speaker 2: He's actually he's not talking completely all over the but
Speaker 2: but anyway, this is him being asked directly, dude, what's
Speaker 2: it like everyone hating you dad just for being a
Speaker 2: good guy? Call the action you're feeling you're hearing a
Speaker 2: call to action.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're giving up your other stuff. I mean what
Speaker 1: you how are you running your.
Speaker 2: Other businesses with great difficulty? Yeah, I mean but there's
Speaker 2: no turning back. You're saying, there's no turning back. Don't
Speaker 2: feel the silence.
Speaker 1: I here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate wats
Speaker 1: and forward, and.
Speaker 2: So far we're making good progress.
Speaker 1: There's one breath in there that I worry that I
Speaker 1: talked over, but it sounded like a little shaky, you know, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: which one the first one where his eyebrow goes up? No, no, No,
Speaker 1: it was the second one right before he like went
Speaker 1: into his answer where it felt like a little bit
Speaker 1: like yeah.
Speaker 2: I think after he goes there's no I think it's
Speaker 2: when Larry Cudler said so there's no turning back. I
Speaker 2: think he's like, yeah, made right. Damn, Larry, don't have
Speaker 2: to say it like that. Yeah, I mean that one.
Speaker 2: But there's no turning back. You're saying, yeah, I'm just there.
Speaker 2: There there is.
Speaker 1: It's the exhale is is quivering, boy, Yeah, he's fucking quivering.
Speaker 3: Ring.
Speaker 1: This is the thing, like I mean, sorry, sorry, just
Speaker 1: quickly because he's so weird. I could see it also
Speaker 1: being also like he's quivering from horniness because he like
Speaker 1: this is what he gets off on, is just people
Speaker 1: people buying into like the idea that he's fucked and
Speaker 1: actually he's just I think he's still going to be
Speaker 1: fine because he's just fucking sabotaged the government specifically in
Speaker 1: a way to like benefit him financially. But yeah, either
Speaker 1: he's incredibly horny or he's on the verge of bursting
Speaker 1: into tears.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, one way to look at that is like, dude,
Speaker 2: this guy's about to fucking break down because he's completely
Speaker 2: fucked over his like financial empire or whatever. But then
Speaker 2: the other part is too this also feels like fuck
Speaker 2: boy tears, where you try to cry to try and
Speaker 2: get people to like forget that you're all the fuck
Speaker 2: shit that you've.
Speaker 4: Done and I'm just I'm just trying to be I'm
Speaker 4: just trying to do good by the e cunt me,
Speaker 4: and like they're being all mean to me, like you know,
Speaker 4: like that it feels kind of like that very sort
Speaker 4: of elementary level of him of manipulate emotional manipulation.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, part of me watches it and
Speaker 2: is like and the other part is like, I wonder
Speaker 2: if also in his mind he also seems like the
Speaker 2: type of person who thinks he can cry his way
Speaker 2: out of a problem to someone when like the chips
Speaker 2: are down, some part of me wants to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's scared, But uh, I don't know what's that.
Speaker 3: I think it depends on like what is like, which
Speaker 3: problem are we talking about that he's dealing with? Where
Speaker 3: I really like that statement, Miles that you say, like
Speaker 3: the mythos around him, like so much of that is
Speaker 3: how he sells his companies, and a lot of it
Speaker 3: is this guy's a gene It's like, this guy's a
Speaker 3: fucking genius. He's a little weird, but the weirdness helps
Speaker 3: convey how much of a quote unquote genius that he is.
Speaker 3: And once you start hopping around on stage like wearing
Speaker 3: weird outfits, like worshiping Hitler through Nazi salutes and now
Speaker 3: like kind of fake crying on TV, it's like that's
Speaker 3: not a person that his supporters or that like people
Speaker 3: who have money and are investing their money into his
Speaker 3: company want to invest money with. So it's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: either he's fucking nuts, he's a he's like you know,
Speaker 3: Trump's little lap dog, and or he is he cries
Speaker 3: randomly and he's a he's a racist and Hitler worshiper.
Speaker 3: These aren't good things to put money in, you know,
Speaker 3: like even even now today in today's environment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do like predictability as you as you said earlier, and.
Speaker 2: This is that they did not.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did not like pitch that two stake
Speaker 1: shareholders and he's like, and then I'm going to go
Speaker 1: out on the on the stage and do the wildest
Speaker 1: doctor Strange love nazis a lute that you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And don't worry, I will do that.
Speaker 3: I will do it.
